In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Barring a breakout year from either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O’Connell, the Las Vegas Raiders likely don’t have their long-term quarterback on the roster. Minshew has started over 10 games in a season just twice in a five-year career and O’Connell is just a year removed from being a fourth-round pick.

It's no secret to anyone around the New Orleans Saints organization that running back Alvin Kamara wants a contract extension. The veteran made that known when he skipped the final practice in minicamp this summer, but he's more or less been a participant in training camp. That being said, Kamara ...

IRVINE, Calif. — This is the season of more. Cam Jordan is entering his 14th NFL season, all with the New Orleans Saints. He is coming off a frustrating and unproductive season, during which he played through a badly injured ankle and finished with two sacks, his worst total since his 2011 rookie season. Worst of all, his team finished outside the playoff picture for the third consecutive season.

Actor William Talman was born on February 4, 1915, in Detroit, Michigan, and died from lung cancer in Los Angeles on August 30, 1968. He was best known as District Attorney Hamilton Berger on TV's long-running legal series, Perry Mason (CBS, 1957 to 1966). Berger never won a case on the show, and Talman had legal issues with the law behind the scenes. This is his story.

The Connection

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was held out of practice on Wednesday due to back tightness. Kamara did participate in the team's walkthrough, though, and New Orleans coach Dennis Allen told reporters that the injury was "not a big deal." A five-time Pro Bowl selection, Kamara violated the NFL's personal conduct policy and was suspended for the first three games of the 2023 season as a result. He ended up playing in 13 games (12 starts), rushing for a career-low 694 yards and five touchdowns on 180 carries. Kamara also had 75 catches for 466 yards and one TD last season. In seven NFL seasons, all with the Saints, the 29-year-old has 5,829 yards and 54 scores on 1,315 carries to go along with 505 receptions for 4,219 yards and 23 TDs. Kamara sat out mandatory minicamp back in June as he tries to land a new contract with New Orleans. --Field Level Media

Migrants enrolled in the Denver Asylum Seekers Program won’t get cash benefits after all. The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday. Instead of Haven of Hope providing migrants with cash assistance on debit cards, it will instead provide “culturally appropriate” food.

The Dallas Cowboys have been looking for a way to replace talented young defender Sam Williams who suffered a season-ending knee injury. The former second-round pick was expected to take a significant step forward but he had to be put on injured reserve list last week. This hurt the Cowboys' depth at the defensive line, especially after previous departures in the offseason.

Despite the downgrade, the storm remains a threat, bringing heavy rainfall and tornado watches across North Carolina. Tragically, Debby has claimed six lives, including two in Georgia. Although Debby will soon lose its tropical characteristics, the risk of flooding and tornadoes persists as it moves into other states.
