Joe Burrow opens up about burglary, canceled Batmobile purchase
The quarterback shared exactly how he reacted to the news, which came on the eve of his 28th birthday.
"Of (expletive) course this happened to me right now," Burrow said in the sixth episode of Netflix's "Quarterback" series. "When you're on cloud nine, something's gonna bring you right back down."
Burrow wasn't so much concerned with what the burglars stole at the time of the break-in. He told Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in footage included in the Netflix series that they had mostly taken his jewelry and that it was insured.
"They could have stolen way worse things than that," Burrow said.
The Bengals quarterback was more bothered by the invasion of privacy he felt as a result of the burglary.
"I just get very uncomfortable," Burrow said during the series' sixth episode. "My life is very public. That comes with the job, but there's certain parts of your life that are yours. Your house is one of those. When that gets violated, people find out where you live, all these different things."
Those "different things" included information about the location of Burrow's house, an increased media presence surrounding his house following the break-in and his connection to social media personality Olivia Ponton – who was at Burrow's house the night of the burglary.

Burrow acknowledged in his discussion with Anarumo that he was considering whether he would need to move because of the burglary.
Burrow also elected not to go through with his purchase of a replica Batmobile in the wake of the break-in, a prospect about which he previously expressed excitement on the in-season edition of HBO's "Hard Knocks."
"I didn't end up getting the Batmobile because I just had other things I wanted to deal with at that point," Burrow said on "Quarterback."
Three men associated with the burglary at Burrow's house – 22-year-old Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, 23-year-old Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales and 38-year-old Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello were indicted in Hamilton County in February on charges of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and burglary. The trio were also indicted on federal charges in connection with the burglary of Burrow's home.
Burrow did not acknowledge those indictments on "Quarterback," but he did explain the late-season ordeal left him feeling "very vulnerable."
"Not everybody's failures at their job are in front of the whole world," Burrow said. "It's a very vulnerable position to be in. I put myself in that position because I love it. I don't like the other part of it."

There's nothing more nerve-racking than meeting your partner's parents for the first time.

And in doing so, the organization attempts to try out its crimefighting cyborgs, but they'll need a human host to successfully launch it. That's when they lure street cop Alex Murphy into a armed confrontation with a crime lord to take over his body and use him as a guinea pig. However, the RoboCop eventually catches on to their dastardly plans on turns on its creators. The post 7 Best New Movies on Prime Video in July 2025 appeared first on TheWrap.

Bengals called out for surprising biggest remaining need before camp
When one thinks of remaining needs for the Cincinnati Bengals, the offensive line takes center stage after a generally agreed-upon underwhelming showing there this offseason. But need is a tricky word, as one could easily suggest the Bengals need pass-rushers to help the rebuilding defense, given the pesky holdouts of first-round pick Shemar Stewart and Trey Hendrickson. Advertisement That's the route Josh Edwards of CBS Sports takes when outlining every biggest remaining need for all 32 teams: 'Cincinnati selected Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart with its first-round choice, which many presumed would check off a need for the organization. Stewart and veteran Trey Hendrickson have held out of all team activities to this point. Both joining the fold would alleviate concerns about the position.' RELATED: Cincinnati Bengals' 53-man roster projection following 2025 offseason Right now, the Bengals still fixing both issues seems likely. There's a spat over contractual language with Stewart that should eventually end in a compromise. And there's an impasse on length and/or guarantees in Hendrickson's extension that, likewise, should see a compromise soon. Advertisement The sooner the better with training camp looming, of course. But Stewart and Hendrickson should eventually be in camp and on the field next season. As for a spot like guard, the Bengals are leaving it to a journeyman like Lucas Patrick, a rookie like Dylan Fairchild and/or a pseudo backup like Cody Ford. Unlike already rostering Hendrickson and Stewart, there's no viable alternative left on the open market or otherwise.

Liam Payne's Family React to Netflix's ‘Building the Band': 'I Couldn't Be Prouder'
Liam Payne's final TV project Building the Band will air on Netflix tomorrow (Wednesday 9th July). Hosted by Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, the show will see 50 singers select their potential bandmates based purely on vocal chemistry without ever seeing one another in isolated booths—think Love Is Blind meets The Voice. Nicole Scherzinger will serve as a mentor and judge, and will be joined by guest judges Kelly Rowland and the late Liam Payne, who sadly passed away on October 16, 2024, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As the new series airs on Netflix, here's how his family reacted to the show. Following the trailer release, Nicola shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram Stories. 'Over the years I've shared many achievements and momentous occasions as a proud sister and I couldn't be prouder of this show,' Nicola, 37, wrote. 'And I know you are so proud too.' She continued: 'Watching this over the past few months has given me/us a way to still feel close to you and see you at your best and I'm so glad the world gets to see it all now too. You truly are a shining star, miss you more than words can say, love you more than that.' Ruth also responded to the trailer, writing on her own Story: 'I didn't know whether to share this but it felt weird when I've raved about Liam's work and achievements for the last 15 years. I'm heartbroken he never got to see how great he is in this show. 'He knew he had done a good job. We all told him this when we were at filming, but watching it back, wow!' The 34-year-old continued: 'You're a star Liam, you always were and always will be. There are a range of emotions I felt watching this, but one of the main ones is immeasurable pride always. Miss you more everyday.' A statement from Netflix said: 'Liam Payne's family reviewed the series and is supportive of his inclusion.' A source added: 'Netflix have gone out of their way to make sure his family are happy. Producers sent them the footage so they are fully aware of what to expect and they have given it their blessing.' Building the Band starts on Netflix on Wednesday 9th July.
