George Kittle defends Commanders' star Deebo Samuel on social media
And Samuel's good friend and former teammate, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle, was having none of it.

One particular X account, which we refuse to promote, reposted a video that one of the Commanders' reporters posted from Wednesday's minicamp. The post said Samuel's particular route on the video had gone viral and asked X users, "What do you notice?" The account also added three useless emojis.
The post was either trying to initiate a conversation about Samuel's weight or his jogging through the route.
Kittle was not happy.
Good for George Kittle. It's good to see players responding to these ridiculous posts. Of course, you'll have some take the bait, like, you know, Eagles' fans, which is what the initial post was designed to do.

Kittle and Samuel are close, having spent six seasons as teammates with the 49ers before Washington traded for Samuel this offseason. Samuel has worked hard, attending all offseason work, and looks to be in outstanding shape. All reports on Samuel have been overwhelmingly positive since he arrived in March, and the Commanders expect him to have a big season in 2025.

'Everything is so hard'—Olivia Culpo's viral TikTok captures a third-trimester truth
Olivia Culpo may be a supermodel married to an NFL star, but her third-trimester date night prep? It's all of us. In a now-viral TikTok with over 1.1 million views, Culpo gives the internet a painfully real—and hilariously glamorous—look at getting dressed with a baby bump. 'Alright guys, last date night as a pregnant lady,' the 33-year-old begins. 'Maybe, possibly, we'll see. They come when they want to come.' And what followed is basically the mom-to-be version of a CrossFit workout: strategic dress-stretching, deep-breathing through shoe application, and a triumphant mirror pep talk when she finally gets her heels on. 'Everything is so hard,' she jokes before slipping on her pumps with Olympic-level effort. 'Wow, I can't believe I just did that. I did that. Wow, I put on my shoe!' Same, Olivia. Same. She closes out the look—copper dress, brown pumps, gold studs, and oversized aviators—while trying to catch her breath. And she knows exactly how relatable it is, captioning the clip: 'It's the huffing and puffing for me ' Moms everywhere felt that in their soul. 'Cant breathe….kinda' is the most relatable pregnancy statement. Same sis.' – ambernoel1211 'Held my breath when you put on that shoe ' – @jamiewamieee From viral TikTok comments to group chats everywhere, this video struck a nerve for every mom who's ever fought gravity, dignity, and shoe straps during the final stretch of pregnancy. And while Culpo may have mastered the model-off-duty vibe, she's also opened up about the more vulnerable parts of this journey. In March, she revealed that she experienced a subchorionic hematoma, a condition that landed her on strict bedrest for weeks. 'I was bleeding everywhere,' she said in an earlier TikTok, candidly sharing that progesterone suppositories may be the reason her pregnancy continued. Related: Olivia Culpo opens up about the pregnancy complication that left her bedridden for a month Now, with her baby bump front and center, she's basking in gratitude—and breathing through the bumps, both literal and emotional. This moment—gasping, glowing, gorgeous, and totally out of breath—is something so many of us remember: The weird pride of getting dressed when nothing fits. The bizarre math of which shoes you might be able to reach. The way your body feels both like a miracle and a stranger. There's something oddly comforting about seeing a celeb like Culpo not just share her highlight reel, but also her behind-the-scenes huffs. It reminds us that even the most 'put together' moms are just trying to fasten their earrings while catching their breath—and that counts.

Cowboys Source Issues Three-Word Truth On Diggs Rumors
Cowboys Source Issues Three-Word Truth On Diggs Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - We've done the analysis. When it comes to Trevon Diggs' time with the Dallas Cowboys, there are three options being thrown out there. Advertisement Trade him. Cut him. Hope for him. We will concede that the 51st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft has been a success story in many ways here ... it's been a while since the playmaking Diggs has lived up to expectations. That is mostly due to the fact that he has sustained back-to-back season-ending injuries to that troublesome left knee ... and some people here inside The Star also think it's due to a previous lack of intensity when it came to his rehab. But ... He is a two-time Pro Bowler and was a First-Team All-Pro in 2021 ... at a time that was pre-injury and a time loaded with his record-setting ability to grab interceptions. Advertisement Can that all happen again? As we have illustrated here, the Cowboys can "escape hatch'' their way out of his contract in a reasonably affordable way after the completion of the 2025 NFL season. Do it next offseason and they save about $12.5 million while they carry a dead cap hit of just under $6 million in 2026. Or, better yet, they could designate him a post-June 1 release, saving $15.5 million and then can spread the dead cap of $6 mil over the 2026 and 2027 seasons at a little under $3 mil per year. Trade? If Diggs' injuries keep him from returning to the field at some early stage this year (Trevon has targeted Week 1 for his comeback, unrealistic as that sounds), and if the rehab prevents him from returning to form in 2025 ... Advertisement Why would anybody want to trade for him? That leaves ... "hope'' ... and indeed, internet memes aside, "hope'' is pretty much the plan.'' So, a source tells "We will wait.'' Wait on the rehab. Wait on cutting him. Wait on panicking. Wait. Hope. The fact that fellow DaRon Bland is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025 plays into this; maybe Dallas simply transfers its investment from Diggs to Bland. The possible play of rookie Shavon Revel (also rehabbing) is a factor, too. If he becomes a starting-caliber corner, Diggs' importance here shrinks. But that's for later. For now?

Cowboys Almost-Coach Kellen Moore Given 'Nightmare' Prediction in New Job
Cowboys Almost-Coach Kellen Moore Given 'Nightmare' Prediction in New Job originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - The Dallas Cowboys are delighted with their hire of first-time head coach Brian Schottenheimer. But they came this-close to hiring another guy with familiarity here inside The Star ... Advertisement And now Kellen Moore is dealing with "nightmare'' predictions at his new job. The Jerry Jones-led offseason search for a replacement for Mike McCarthy was not a wide-net far-reaching one. It largely focused on Schottenheimer (who was McCarthy's offensive coordinator) and Moore (who had the same job here before Schotty). Moore jumped/was pushed two years ago and worked with the Chargers in 2023 ... and Schotty worked here with Dak Prescott as the QB finished second in NFL MVP voting. Then in 2024, the Philadelphia Eagles brought on Moore. ... and that worked out in the best conceivable way. The former Dallas offensive coordinator helped unleash running back Saquon Barkley last season, and guided quarterback Jalen Hurts to an MVP in Philly's dominance of the Kansas City Chiefs in last February's Super Bowl LIX. Advertisement As his reward, Kellen interviewed here but then eventually landed the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. (Ironically, as we understand it, beating out McCarthy, among others). The party is over, however. The projections are rolling in. And according to the oddsmakers, the Saints - coming off a 5-12 season - have the lowest projected win total of any team in the NFL at 4.5. Ouch. 'A successful season as Eagles OC led Kellen Moore to a head coaching position, but he could be in for a nightmare season,' USA Today writes. 'His best quarterback had health concerns. Then, he retired. Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough will need to get up to speed quickly, or we could be in for another run by Spencer Rattler.' Advertisement Moore turns 37 on July 5, so he still qualifies as "one of the brightest young offensive minds in pro football,'' as is so often written. But he doesn't have Dak and CeeDee Lamb anymore. Nor does he have Barkley and Hurts and A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. He has, in New Orleans' offense, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave and little else. The Eagles should be great again. The Cowboys think they'll be good. The Saints? they will likely be favored only four times all season, at best: twice against the lowly Carolina Panthers and Week 16 and 17 games against the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans. There are only 32 of these jobs, and Moore was due to get one. But the challenge is now about the avoidance of a "nightmare'' in the Big Easy.
