Randy Moss looks forward to his return to ESPN
After a bout with bile duct cancer, Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss is ready to go for the 2025 season, when he'll return to his weekly job at ESPN. 'Man, I look forward to it,' Moss told via 'I miss my crew. Greeny, Alex [Smith], Tedy [Bruschi]. But I really didn't miss Rex Ryan much because he got on my nerves. Rex, if you are hearing this, I am coming back, so scoot over. . . . [W]e have a great group of guys that I work with that I tremendously missed for two months. ESPN accepted me with open arms, man, I just can't wait for Week 1 to get back up there with the crew and talk football.' Advertisement Moss left the show in November for treatment. He had surgery in late November. He returned for ESPN's Super Bowl coverage. 'Just being able to experience that was nothing I wish on any man or any human being,' Moss. 'But for the fact that God took me through it and brought me out of it back healthy, being able to be back with my family, great support system, and some great doctors around me. Like I said, it was an emotional roller coaster, but the people I met on the way, I'm a blessed man. I'll leave it at that." It's great news for one of the all-time great players. No receiver had more talent than Randy Moss. Despite all the great receivers currently in the NFL, Randy Moss still has a magic and an aura that none since him have matched. And he's from West Virginia. Which, as a West Virginian, has been a point of pride for a long time.

Why Isn't Tracy Ifeachor Returning for ‘The Pitt' Season 2?
If you're a fan of The Pitt, then you're no stranger to being emotionally destroyed by your television. And while it may come as a shock seeing as how the HBO Max hit isn't currently on the air, the show's most recent plot twist has fans reeling: Tracy Ifeachor isn't returning to The Pitt for season 2. Not only that, but reports suggest she didn't even choose to leave. Tracy played Dr. Heather Collins, a hard-working senior resident, in season 1 of the medical drama. News of her departure from the show was confirmed earlier this week, with sources telling TVLine that not bringing back Tracy for season 2 was a creative decision, not the result of a scheduling conflict or anything personal. Tracy hasn't directly commented on the news, but a day before it was confirmed that she wouldn't be returning to the show, she posted a message of gratitude on her Instagram alongside a video of a For Your Consideration event supporting the show. 'What a blessing to be a part of this first and foundational season of #ThePitt on @hbomax,' she wrote in part. 'It was an absolute privilege to play Dr. Heather Collins in such a groundbreaking season and piece.' Dr. Collins brought a lot to The Pitt—which takes place over the course of one day in an emergency room—as a doctor working while going through a miscarriage. She also had a romantic past with The Pitt protagonist, Dr. Robby, played by Noah Wyle, and fans had hoped to see their relationship continue to evolve in the show's second season. That said, just because Dr. Collins won't be in season 2 of The Pitt doesn't mean she won't pop up on the series in the future. According to a report from Us Weekly, the original plan was to have Tracy return to the show for season 2, and a source told the magazine that, as far as the actor knows, there weren't 'any doors being closed' on a possible return in the future. For now, I'll choose to believe we'll see Dr. Collins in the ER again. And in the meantime, fans can get their fix by rewatching The Pitt season 1 on HBO Max.

Yellowstone's Beth/Rip Spinoff Taps Finn Little to Return as Carter
We may yet get to see Yellowstone's Beth allow Carter to call her mama. Finn Little, who played orphaned teen Carter in the OG series' fourth and fifth seasons, has been tapped to reprise his role in the spinoff centered around Kelly Reilly's hell-raising Beth Dutton and her tough-as-leather husband, Cole Hauser's Rip Wheeler. In breaking the news Friday that the Australian-born 19-year-old had been made a series regular on the Paramount+ offshoot, our sister site Deadline teed up a reminder that the as-yet-untitled show is expected to follow the same timeline as Taylor Sheridan's OG drama. Thus far, no other casting has been announced. More from TVLine RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 Finale: Which Wild Card Pick Will Return? And Which Queen Was Snubbed?

'America went after me for that,' Reilly told TVLine. 'I was like, 'That's the character, not me!' 'But I get it,' she added. 'I wish she would [let herself be a mother to him], too.' Though what Beth wound up saying to the youngster might not have been what he or the audience wanted to hear, it at least wasn't BS. 'She goes, 'You had a mom. She died. I can't replace that. But I'll be your friend,'' Reilly noted. 'I think there's something honorable about that.' (Read the full interview here.)
