'We knew we had something special with 'David & Dave' after their official reveal earlier this year as part of Stella Artois' return to the Super Bowl,' says Chris Jones, vp of marketing for premium brands at Anheuser-Busch. 'David and Matt have helped to create a world that fans have become invested in. And now, with 'The Collection,' we're allowing consumers to participate in the next chapter of this story in a fun, engaging, and tangible way with '50 States of Stella.''
Stella drinkers will be able buy chalices from whatever state they choose on Dave Beckham's eBay shop. As with the Super Bowl spot, Affleck directed the commercial, and Artists Equity produced it.
'We wanted it to work on a number of levels. I's supposed to be really about the connection between the brothers, because this whole idea of 'Moments Worth More' is what the whole campaign is centered around,' Damon told THR earlier this year. 'The campaign itself just follows that relationship and builds on it like a story, as they get into these various adventures together, and as these estranged brothers get to know each other. But we also want it to be entertaining and fun for everybody, so you're kind of looking forward to the next little episode that comes along.'

Saquon Barkley reveals the sources motivating his drive to succeed
Eagles' All-Pro RB and reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year shares some of his primary motivations. It's pretty impressive to walk into an NFL game, take in the atmosphere, and see the high-profile individuals who are there. Who knew? Many of the athletes, actors, and politicians we admire often find their way to a Philadelphia Eagles game to unwind and have some fun. Maybe competition entertains competitive people. Perhaps people we admire are sometimes fans themselves, but that makes sense. Somewhere, there's an actor who wishes he could perform a reverse hurdle. Somewhere, there's a kid in the backyard, football in hand, and he or she wants to rush for 2,000 yards like Saquon Barkley. Eagles star Saquon Barkley shares his inspiration If Saquon Barkley never played another down for the Philadelphia Eagles, his place in this great organization's history and framework is secure. His first season with the Birds doubles as one of the most riveting in franchise history. Saquon is a Super Bowl champion now. That can never be taken away from him. He's the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He should have been given the MVP trophy. No disrespect is intended to Josh Allen, but somewhere deep down, he has to know that. Nothing we saw during the most recent pro football season compares to what we saw from Saquon. How did he do it? Where does one of the greats draw his inspiration from? Recently, he provided some behind-the-scenes access while hanging out with one of the most popular people in the YouTube golf space, Grant Horvat. He credits his Christian faith, a relationship strengthened by new surroundings. During their chat, Saquon also shared that he, too, is a fan. He revealed that he is a fan of golfing legend and 11-time PGA Tour Player of the Year, Tiger Woods. Studying one of the great athletes of an era has added to his fuel to be the best on the NFL gridiron. "I've been trying to learn so much more about Tiger," Barkley told Grant Horvat via CBS Sports. "I had a really good season last year. But just like how dominant he was, his mentality. So in 2000, [he had an] amazing year. But 1999, he had an amazing year too, right? To be able to stack years like that. There's never been a back that's rushed for 2,000 yards twice, and definitely not back-to-back. Tiger was the man. There's no doubt about it. If one is looking to reach the pinnacle of excellence in their field, he's a great person to look to and study. Perhaps Barkley says it best. I think it's just the confidence. I think when you have the year like I had last year, I'm coming into this season, and to my training,it's not a fluke. I watch film. And, people talk about what I did and what I accomplished, but in my mindset, it should have been even more. When you have that confidence and you play with that swagger." Well said Saquon. Here's to another dominant season in 2025.

Is this Brooklyn Beckham's most brutal swipe yet amid ongoing family feud?
Brooklyn Beckham made it clear where his loyalties lie this week with a gesture his family are most likely to regard as the most brutal yet. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham shared a public post on his Instagram Stories along with his wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham (30), wishing his father-in-law, American billionaire Nelson Peltz, a happy 83rd birthday. 'Happy Birthday Nelson x we love you ❤️,' the 26-year-old hot sauce entrepreneur wrote. It comes after he failed to publicly wish both his parents on their birthdays this year – in stark contrast to his gushing posts in the past. Brooklyn has reportedly all but cut off his famous family after escalating tension involving his American actress wife. 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact, and he's not responding to those that try to connect,' a source told Page Six. Rumours of a rift stretch back to their 2022 wedding when gossip swirled that Nicola and Victoria fought throughout the lead-up to the nuptials, with Nicola eventually shunning a VB gown for a Valentino one. Things clearly did not improve in the ensuing years but reached a breaking point when Brooklyn and Nicola did not attend Becks' 50th birthday celebrations in London in May, despite both being in the country at the time. Brooklyn also reportedly failed to congratulate his dad on his recent knighthood and said nothing on Father's Day despite David including him in his own effusive post about his four children. In fact, he seemed to double down on where his loyalties lie in a recent post, in which he said asking the blonde beauty to marry him was the 'best decision ever'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @brooklynpeltzbeckham Indeed, there have been concerns, especially from his own family, that Brooklyn is 'infatuated' with Nicola. 'Brooklyn has a tendency to fall head over heels in love with women very fast,' a source close to the family says. 'He is absolutely besotted. They have barely spent a night apart since they have been together. It's like he can't imagine life without her – he will literally do anything she wants him to.' Sources say while she enjoys his devotion, it's become a key concern for his family, who believe he's become isolated even from friends. Brooklyn spends most of his evenings alone at home with his wife Source His brothers Romeo (22) and Cruz (20) have apparently taken to calling him 'The Hostage', a dig at how badly they think he's being controlled by Nicola. A recent post in which he can be seen on his motorbike with Nicola behind him, saw Brooklyn gushing, 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by @brooklynpeltzbeckham Last month, the two snapped up their first permanent home – a $16 million (R288 million) mansion in an exclusive area of Beverly Hills that counts Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence as residents. However, insiders say Nicola's billionaire father is probably the one who footed the bill for the jaw-dropping six-bedroom, seven-bathroom luxury pad. Show Comments ()
