Broncos star rocks amazing Jordan cleats at training camp
Pat Surtain's shoes>>> Pat Surtain is officially an ambassador of the Jordan brand. Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton is the only coach in the NFL with an endorsement deal with Michael Jordan, and after Surtain won the Defensive Player of the Year award last season, Payton told his star cornerback it was time to get PS2 a Jordan deal of his own. Surtain officially joined the brand last month, just in time to rock some amazing cleats at training camp: 'I'm pretty excited," Surtain said Tuesday when asked about becoming a Jordan athlete. "It was a cool experience meeting 'M.J.' himself. It was pretty dope. I feel like that whole brand, what they have in order, is a very close group and the brand [has] a family-first aspect. I'm glad to be a part of the Jordan brand. I'm looking forward to it.' The cornerback still hasn't quite caught up to his coach's level yet. 'We're going to be competing on the field, even though I know he has the exclusive [Eddie] Jones [sneakers] already," Surtain quipped. "I still have some catching up to do.'

'E! News 'to Come to an End After 34 Years on the Air — Find Out When the Last Episode Will Air
PEOPLE has learned employees of the entertainment news show — currently hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester — were informed of the network's decision to cancel the show on July 24 E! News is set to end after 34 years. PEOPLE has learned E! News — which is currently hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester — will air its last episode on Sept. 25. Employees of the entertainment news show were informed of the network's decision on July 24. E! News will air a repeat episode tonight — with new episodes set to air next week. After the show ends this fall, E! News will continue as a digital brand — including its website E! Online and social media offerings. The brand's digital shows including E! News' The Rundown on Snapchat, Hot Goss on Instagram and RE!CAP on YouTube. On the air, E! will continue its red carpet coverage with Live from E! in addition to its original programming including Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind and Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour as well as its acquired content. The network also recently announced two new shows: Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane and E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals. The news comes after NBCUniversal divided its broadcasting offerings. NBC, Peacock and Bravo will remain parts of the original brand, while the rest of its cable channels — including E!, USA Network, Syfy, CNBC, MSNBC, Oxygen and Golf Channel — and websites like Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes will move to the new company, Versant. Some E! News correspondents will transition to Versant, but opportunities for these employees are still being determined. E! News premiered on Sept. 1, 1991 with original host Dagny Hultgreen. There have been several iterations of the show since its debut. In 2006, Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic took the reins of the show. Seacrest left the show in April 2012 and was replaced by Jason Kennedy. As Rancic reduced her role on the show after welcoming son Duke with husband Bill Rancic in 2012, Catt Sadler joined. Sadler exited the network in December 2017 after a pay dispute. She claimed Kennedy was being paid double her salary. In a statement to PEOPLE at the time, an E! spokesperson said on behalf of the network and Kennedy, 'E! compensates employees fairly and appropriately based on their roles, regardless of gender. We appreciate Catt Sadler's many contributions at E! News and wish her all the best following her decision to leave the network.' Two years later, E! News moved its broadcast to New York. The move conceded with Rancic announcing that she would no longer be anchoring the show as she planned to stay in Los Angeles. Lilliana Vazquez and Scott Tweedie became new co-anchors in New York in January 2020 — but the show was cancelled seven months later amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was brought back two years later with hosts Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and Sylvester. Knight was later promoted to co-anchor after Bailon-Houghton's exit in October 2023.

‘E! News' Nightly Show Axed As Versant Eyes Digital Future For Brand
EXCLUSIVE: E! News, the long-running celebrity news show, is coming to an end. Versant, the nascent company that oversees E! as well as a number of former NBCUniversal cable networks, is axing the show, which first launched in 1991, in September. More from Deadline Comcast's Versant Sets Board With Mark Lazarus, Former Disney Executive Rebecca Campbell Netflix Still Not Interested In Owning Legacy Media Networks Even As M&A Options Multiply - CFO CNBC Hires David Cho As Editor In Chief The half-hour, which airs at 11:30pm, will have new episodes through to September 25. Deadline understands that employees on the show were informed this morning with around 20 people working on it. Some of these may be offered other roles and some are expected to leave. It marks the first major programming decision since Versant was formed earlier this year. The move is not unexpected; given the way that people consume pop culture news these days, largely on their phone and across social media, means that operating a nightly news operation is more challenging. E! News digital brand will continue with a focus on social platforms. As Deadline revealed earlier this year, the brand saw some impressive growth, particularly on Instagram, where video views were up 49% and TikTok views up 52%. E! currently has around 87M social media followers and digital shows including E! News' The Rundown on Snapchat, Hot Goss on Instagram, RE!CAP on YouTube. The nightly show is hosted by Keltie Knight and Justin Sylvester. The show was previously canceled in 2020 but returned after a two-year break. Access Hollywood and Access Daily will continue to operate as normal. E! currently also airs shows such as Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind and Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour with upcoming titles including Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane and E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals.
