Ex-ESPN host Trey Wingo rips into NFL quarterback Jayden Daniels' mom: 'Needs a hobby'
Daniels' mother, Regina Jackson, is the passer's agent and business manager and is known to be protective of the former Heisman Trophy winner, as she previously indicated she didn't want her son to date.
And after she briefly joined NFL Network's interview of her son from training camp, Wingo had a strong message for Daniels' mother.
'She needs a hobby,' Wingo wrote on X.
Regina, who wore a t-shirt with her son's name on it, said she had not attended every day of training camp as Daniels described their relationship.
'She's always gon' be there to uplift me, but if I'm doing wrong, she gon' let me know,' he said. 'Even though I'm 24 years old, I'm still a grown man, but I still gotta listen to my mom at some point.'

Jackson became an NFL-certified agent last year and represents her son.
However, she previously ruffled feathers with her comments in the Prime Video documentary 'The Money Game,' when she discussed her fear of women 'hooking' her son.
'Some girl's got a Jayden Daniels wall, and her mom says, 'You'll get him.' Someone's trying to hook him, but thank god he's got a mama like me - because it ain't happening.'
She later walked back that stance on 'The Pivot' podcast.
'I'm putting it on record. My son can date, he can live freely, make his own decisions,' she said. 'However, with the relationship we have, he does value my opinion because when my kids were little, I did a lot for them and my kids saw that.'
Jackson, though, also added that her son 'doesn't know the business world.'
'He doesn't know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I'm also his mom.'
Off the field, Jackson is often spotted with her son at public outings, as they attended the ESPYs together last year, and a Fanatics Super Bowl party together in February.
She was even seen next to him as he danced at Brandon Aiyuk's wedding in April.
Daniels had a stellar debut season last year as he won Offensive Rookie of the Year and led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game.
His sophomore season will begin against the Giants on September 7.

Tom Brady must have 'lost half' his sense of humor in Gisele Bundchen divorce after roast regrets, claims comedian
Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady must have 'lost half' his sense of humor in his 2022 divorce to supermodel Gisele Bundchen, famous comedian Jeff Ross said. Ross' takedown of Brady comes as the now-Fox Sports commentator expressed regret in being the subject of a live roast on Netflix, with several talented comedians on the bill alongside plenty of the quarterback's NFL teammates and coaches. Ross, a legendary roaster who has targeted the likes of Donald Trump and Justin Bieber in the past, was on hand for the festivities and cracked jokes about Brady's time in the NFL and several aspects of his personal life. Brady appeared to take the jokes well during the broadcast, even when people came for his ex-wife, with it having an affect on his three children. 'I didn't realize you could lose half your sense of humor in a divorce,' Ross told Page Six. 'I want everyone to love the roast. To leave there feeling like it was the greatest night of their life.' 'Above that, beyond that, the guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for taking the hits for three hours so the rest of us can forget our problems.' Brady previously said after the event that he preferred when the jokes were about him. Bundchen has been dating Joaquim Valente since June 2023, while Brady has not had a high-profile girlfriend since the divorce. Plenty of jokes about Bundchen and martial arts were made since the supermodel entered the relationship post-Brady. Netflix has not held another live roast of the sort since Brady was the centerpiece, with other sporting legends like Tiger Woods and LeBron James having the star power necessary to be the next subject. Ross is known as the 'Roastmaster General' and is one of the leading names in the comedic genre. The set from comedian Nikki Glaser at Brady's roast sent her into superstardom, leading to her having a role with Prime Video for NFL games and hosting last year's Emmy Awards.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs is denied release on bond to await sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs can't go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges — racketeering and sex trafficking — while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offense. In denying Combs' $50 million bond proposal, Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip hop impresario had failed to prove that he did not pose a risk of flight or danger, adding that the record did not show an 'exceptional circumstance' that would justify his release after a conviction that otherwise requires detention. Combs' arguments 'might have traction in a case that didn't involve evidence of violence, coercion, or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three,' the judge wrote. Messages seeking comment were sent to prosecutors and one of Combs' lawyers. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines aren't mandatory, and Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a protean figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights.' His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalize consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defense acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend.' The defense's most recent proposal included the $50 million bond, plus travel restrictions, and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimize his recent violent conduct — demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision.'
