Terry Bradshaw makes a crack about Tom Brady's Fox contract
When we last heard from Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, he was telling Aaron Rodgers to 'chew on bark.' Bradshaw now has a bone to pick with another all-time great. Sort of. Appearing on something called To The Point — Home Services Podcast (i.e., Terry got a nice little check), Bradshaw riffed on the 10-year, $375 million contract that his employer, Fox, gave to Tom Brady. While commenting on the money Fox made from its massive Super Bowl audience, Bradshaw said this, via Brandon Contes of "[I]f I go in there and ask for a raise, 'Well, we don't have any . . . we're running a little tight.' Well, you just paid Tom Brady $37 million a year. I'll take it. I did some bad deals, that's what it was.' Some would say Fox did a very bad deal with Brady, chasing a name and not truly getting a fair return on the investment (especially given the consensus opinion on his performance in 2024). But, hey, everyone wants to have a cool friend. Tom Brady is the cool friend of the moment. It has gotten him sweetheart deals with the likes of Delta (because Ed Bastin wanted a cool friend), and it got him a below-market stake in the Raiders (because Mark Davis wanted a cool friend). Someone at Fox wanted a cool friend, too — and got one. It's not a complaint. It's an acknowledgement of the reality that there can be very real financial benefits in being someone's cool friend. Brady has become the GOAT of leveraging cool friendship into cold, hard cash.

Perfect Match Season 3: Release Date, Cast, and Latest News
BRENDA ISLAS/NETFLIX Perfect Match season 3 is almost here–but with a surprising twist. In the past, the reality series brought together the most iconic and beloved single stars from across the Netflix universe for another chance at finding love. On season 2, for example, Love Is Blind's Jessica Vastel and Too Hot to Handle's Harry Jowsey found love and set the internet ablaze. Unfortunately that relationship didn't last long. Jowsey later said that his stint on Dancing With the Stars contributed to their breakup. But this year the show will look different. For the first time ever, contestants will be plucked from reality shows across networks, from ABC's The Bachelorette to Peacock's Love Island. Once the singles couple up, the pair voted 'most compatible' by their peers will be given the power to break up other couples or send them on dates with brand-new singles. Filmed last year, season 3 already has a successful couple in Ollie and AD, who announced their engagement during the finale of Love Is Blind season 8 and recently revealed they are expecting their first child. But when does Perfect Match season 3 premiere? And who are the new singles? Here's everything we know so far. The first six episodes of Perfect Match season 3 will drop on August 1. Episodes 7 through 9 will premiere on August 8, and the final episode will premiere on August 15. Nick Lachey, former 98 Degrees lead singer and cohost of Love Is Blind, will return as the host for Perfect Match.

'Bachelor in Paradise' premieres tonight: Everything to know about season 10
It's "almost paradise" for several stars from Bachelor Nation. Season 10 of "Bachelor in Paradise" begins Monday night, July 7, with fan favorites from the "Bachelor" franchise looking for a second (or third) shot at love. The upcoming season also introduces fans to a whole new location -- Costa Rica -- and more. Ahead of the season premiere, we're taking a look at everything you need to know. When does 'Bachelor in Paradise' air? The season 10 premiere of "Bachelor in Paradise" premieres Monday at 8 p.m. ET. on ABC. Episodes will be available to stream the next day on Hulu. Who is in the cast? In June, the first wave of "Bachelor in Paradise" season 10 cast members was announced. The cast includes Alexe-Anne "Alexe" Godin of "The Bachelor" season 29, Dale Moss of "The Bachelorette" season 16, and Jessica "Jess" Edwards of "The Bachelor" season 28. See the cast announcement below. Which 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette' stars are joining the cast? Also joining the cast this season are several past contestants of "The Golden Bachelor" and "The Golden Bachelorette." They include Kathy Swarts, Leslie Fhima, and Natascha Hardee of "The Golden Bachelor" season 1, and Charles "CK" King, Keith Gordon and Kim Buike of "The Golden Bachelorette" season 1. See the announcement below. What's new this season? Previously, it was announced that former "Bachelorette" star Hannah Brown would star in season 10 in a new role, Paradise Relations. She told ABC Audio that the job includes everything from throwing impromptu yoga classes on the beach to passing out champagne and providing a shoulder to cry on. Ultimately, Brown will be present "to help give advice and just help [cast members] on their journey in any way possible," she said. Additionally, host Jesse Palmer said that compatibility tests will be introduced. "There's some challenges that play throughout the season that really raises the stakes for our cast," Palmer said. "It was a lot of fun for me to have our cast in more group settings more often than anything we've done in the past. I thought it created some drama, but I think it also really helped them get to know each other better."
