As 20th year at CBS commences, James Brown is in talks for an extension
Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com reports that Brown is negotiating an extension to remain the host of The NFL Today. His current deal expires after the 2025 season.
Despite being 74, Brown has no plans to retire.
He emerged from a partial youth movement in 2024, one that saw Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason out, still in his chair as the captain of the ship.
In a business where age can be an issue (the requirements of federal and state laws nothwithstanding), it's good to see CBS sticking with what's working. As McCarthy notes, a few broadcasters get to stick around as long as they want, with Lee Corso and Dick Vitale the most notable.
Maybe J.B., who has become an institution at CBS, will extend his 20-year run by another decade, or longer.

Mike Brown raves about ‘unbelievable' versatility new additions bring to Knicks
The Knicks will have a different look on the bench, and not just because the coach will be Mike Brown instead of Tom Thibodeau. The second unit is also going to have new makeup, after the free agent signings of high-scoring guard Jordan Clarkson (Jazz) and high-upside forward Guerschon Yabusele (76ers). Advertisement On the day he was introduced as Thibodeau's replacement, Brown raved about the duo. 'Again the versatility that Leon [Rose, team president] keeps adding to this team is unbelievable,' Brown told MSG Network. 'Jordan, the things that he can do, especially offensively. He's a veteran guy. I know he's hungry to win. He can score at all three levels. You're excited with that coming to the table. He's also a better playmaker than he's given credit [for]. I'm looking forward to seeing some of that, too, because I'm huge when it comes to touching the paint and looking to spray that basketball out to get your teammates easy shots. 'And then Guerschon, an unbelievable young man. His size, his versatility, he can play the four, the five, maybe some three, who knows?' Advertisement Lack of depth was a problem for the Knicks last year. They were dead last in bench scoring at 21.7 points (the Lakers were second to last at 26.2). But with a second unit of the two newcomers, Miles McBride and either Mitchell Robinson or Josh Hart, the reserves could be much improved. Knicks head coach Mike Brown said during his introductory press conference as the the Knicks head coach on July 8, 2025 that he his happy the team signed Jordan Clarkson (above) and Guerschon Yabusele. Getty Images Advertisement Several times on Tuesday, Brown alluded to liking to push tempo. The Knicks were more of a plodding team under Tom Thibodeau, ranking 26th in the league in pace a year ago. Expect that to change. Mike Brown talks with the media during his introductory press conference as the Knicks' new head coach on July 8, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement 'Offensively, a lot of people know — we did it in Sacramento — I like to play fast,' Brown said. 'We're going to try to play fast, make sure the floor is spaced the right way.' Brown seemed open to playing Karl-Anthony Towns and Robinson together in a two-big lineup, but he was noncommittal on how he would use them.

'I'm excited that they're both on the team because they're two different players. Mitch is a vertical threat. KAT, as you know, is a space threat. And so to have the versatility that those two guys bring to the table is gonna be a lot of fun.'

90+ TV Shows That Switched Networks — And How Long They Ran After They Relocated
Not every TV series finishes where it started. Just ask the following 90+ shows, whose runs were extended by one (or more) seasons after they departed their original network or streaming home. Following word that American Dad! will return to Fox in 2026 (after a 10-season run on TBS), TVLine is singling out more than eight dozen scripted series that got a second (or sometimes third) lease on life once they moved to another network. More from TVLine Casting News: Tom Mison Joins Robin Hood, Y&R Vet to Days and More Every New Scripted Show Confirmed to Premiere in 2025 - Save the Dates! Mariska Hargitay Thinks Benson and Stabler Should Get Together in SVU's Last Episode - Respectfully? Nope. As you'll see, some shows proved more successful than others. While 9-1-1 and Days of Our Lives are still in production, and the likes of Baywatch, Cougar Town and Friday Night Lights all ran for multiple seasons after they relocated, shows like All Rise, Family Matters and Magnum P.I. weren't as lucky. All told, 54 of the following series ran for two or more seasons after they made the jump, while 42 of them saw their lives extended by one measly season. Of note: The following list excludes any shows that migrated from UPN or The WB to The CW in 2006 (e.g., 7th Heaven, Reba, Veronica Mars), as well as any FX shows that migrated to FXX to populate the sister network upon its launch in 2013 (e.g., Archer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). It also excludes any shows that were revived by another network more than three years after their initial run ended (Arrested Development, Futurama) or returned years later in the form of a sequel series (Fuller House, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, That '90s Show).

Abigail Spencer to Star Opposite Josh Charles in Fox's Doc Martin Adaptation
Timeless talent Abigail Spencer has a new gig: being the sunshine to Josh Charles' grumpy. Spencer has joined the cast of Fox's upcoming Best Medicine, TVLine has learned. She'll play Louisa Glasson, whom the official character description calls 'a warm, charming local school teacher who immediately gets off on the wrong foot with Martin Best' — a frosty physician played by Charles — 'yet she's intrigued by him…' More from TVLine No Good Deed Done (For Now) at Netflix The Last of Us Co-Creator to Depart Ahead of Season 3: 'Now Is the Right Time' Casting News: Alison Brie's FX Pilot, One Tree Hill Vet Joins Emily in Paris and More When Is Your Favorite TV Show Back? An A-to-Z List of 300+ Scripted Series View List Based on the British medical dramedy Doc Martin and described as a 'charmingly complicated one-hour comedy,' Best Medicine centers on Charles' character, a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child.' Martin's bedside manner leaves much to be desired, and the locals don't love him. But what the townies don't know, the official logline says, 'is that Martin's terse demeanor masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. But tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered.' Fox ordered the adaptation to series in May. Production starts this summer in Upstate New York, and the series is slated to premiere during the 2025-26 TV season. In addition to Timeless, Spencer's TV work includes Rectify, True Detective, Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy, Suits, Extended Family and 9-1-1. Are you looking forward to watching Spencer on ?
