Commanders to induct legendary wide receiver Santana Moss into Ring of Fame
A big surprise for Tana to end today's live show 💛 Before Terry McLaurin in Washington, there was Santana Moss. Criminally underrated, model citizen, beloved by teammates, coaches, and fans, not a diva, and never having sustained quality quarterback play. Now, the team is honoring Moss. Moss, who works for the team's broadcast crew, was surprised by fellow broadcast partner and team legend Brian Mitchell. During Washington's Week 1 game against the New York Giants, the Commanders will induct Moss into the franchise's Ring of Fame. Here's Moss learning the news from Mitchell: A first-round pick of the New York Jets in the 2001 NFL draft, the Redskins traded disgruntled wide receiver Laveranues Coles to the Jets for Moss ahead of the 2005 season. Coles initially began his career with the Jets, but signed with Washington as a free agent in 2003. He was unhappy in Joe Gibbs' offense and wanted out. Washington then made one of the best trades in franchise history, sending Coles to the Jets in a straight-up deal for Moss. In only his second game for the Redskins, Moss caught two late fourth-quarter touchdowns to shock the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. His legendary status with the franchise was already cemented. Moss would play 10 seasons in the burgundy and gold, catching 581 passes for 7,867 yards and 47 touchdowns. He finished his 14-year NFL career with 732 receptions, 10,283 yards and 66 touchdowns. Congratulations to Santana Moss!

Aaron Rodgers gushes over new wife: ‘Your whole world changes when you meet the right one'
Aaron Rodgers has kept his marriage on the down low, but he has no issue speaking about their love at length. The 41-year-old confirmed at minicamp that he got married over the offseason after he was spotted with a band that he confirmed was a wedding ring. Not much is known about Rodgers' wife, except that her name is Brittani. Rodgers spoke at length last month about his wife's wishes for a private life. But he made their "unconditional" love very public while speaking with the NFL Network on Saturday. "When you meet the right one, and you're with the right one, your whole world changes in a second. And to have that person that unconditionally loves you behind the scenes, there's no better feeling in the world, and I've got the most incredible wife," Rodgers said, via "I just really love her, and I'm so thankful to have her by my side at the end. When you have that stability and that rock behind you at the house, you feel like you can do anything." Rodgers' relationship history has been the subject of widespread coverage and controversy throughout his NFL career. Rodgers previously dated actresses Olivia Munn and Shaleine Woodley and former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick. Rodgers' past relationships were recalled in his docuseries "Enigma," which debuted on Netflix last week. He explained that he "hated" the fame that came with his successful football career. Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers over the offseason after a failed tenure with the New York Jets, who released him. In ironic fashion, the Steelers and Jets face off to begin the NFL season.

Chris Stapleton Hits No. 1 With One Of Country Music's Most Successful Women
Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert's first duet, 'A Song to Sing,' debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's ... More Country Digital Song Sales chart with nearly 2,300 downloads. FRISCO, TEXAS - MAY 16: Chris Stapleton performs onstage at the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards at The Star in Frisco on May 16, 2024 in Frisco, Texas. (Photo byfor ACM) Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert are two of the biggest names in the country music world. Both have charted bestselling albums, scored numerous hit singles, and won Grammys, earning critical acclaim with seemingly everything they release. As collaborations grow increasingly important in the music industry, it was only a matter of time before these two singer-songwriters teamed up. Their first joint single, "A Song to Sing," has become a quick-selling hit in the United States, as their fan bases rushed to snag a copy of the tune once it dropped. "A Song to Sing" Debuts at No. 1 "A Song to Sing" debuts on several Billboard charts this frame, thanks largely to a very healthy number of pure purchases. Luminate reports that in its first tracking period, the collaboration sold just under 2,300 copies. That sum is enough to send it straight to No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart, where it opens in the top spot. Fourth No. 1 for Miranda Lambert, Fifth for Chris Stapleton Lambert earns her fourth No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales ranking as "A Song to Sing" arrives, while Stapleton collects his fifth. It's been more than four years since Lambert last ruled, with "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)," her collaboration with Elle King, which reached the summit in March 2021. Stapleton last topped the Country Digital Song Sales list in November 2023 with "White Horse." Miranda Lambert Claims More Top 10 Smashes While Stapleton may claim more No. 1s than Lambert, she's winning when it comes to total top 10s and charting hits overall. Stapleton has racked up 17 top 10s and 34 total appearances on the list, while Lambert has reached the highest tier 22 times, with 43 different cuts appearing on the tally throughout her lengthy career. 'A Song to Sing' Debuts Across Several Charts "A Song to Sing" sold well enough to appear not just on the country-specific digital ranking, but also the all-genre list that's compiled in the same manner. On that roster, the two country powerhouses debut at No. 10, adding to their growing list of general successes. The collaboration also enters the Country Airplay tally at No. 20 and the consumption-based Hot Country Songs list at No. 30. For now, "A Song to Sing" hasn't been assigned to an upcoming album from either Stapleton or Lambert. It could eventually end up on one of their projects — or even both — but for the moment, it stands alone as a bestselling standalone tune.
