Matt Leinart’s DM’s went unread by ‘all-time crush’ Tiffani Thiessen

Matt Leinart reveals on his "Throwbacks" podcast that he once DM’d his childhood crush, Saved by the Bell star Tiffia​n​i Thiessen, to get her on the show. The former quarterback, now podcaster, describes Thiessen as the "most anticipated guest" and humorously admits he had to explain the messages to his wife. Though his messages went unread, Thiessen appears to promote Disney+’s "Coven Academy" and shares nostalgic banter with co‑host Jerry Ferrara. Both guests are married with kids, sparking playful comparisons to their 90s TV roots.

William Shatner posts beautiful tribute to Patrick Stewart

After Patrick Stewart’s death at 86, fellow Star Trek legend William Shatner honored him with an Instagram tribute, praising Stewart’s humanity as both Captain Jean‑Luc Picard and a stage great. The post recalls their joint appearance in 1994’s *Star Trek Generations* and highlights Stewart’s later fame as Professor X, noting his cameo in the upcoming *Avengers: Doomsday* release. The article also references Stewart’s Super Bowl LVIII Paramount+ ad and his voice work on shows like *American Dad* and *Family Guy*.

How to watch Packers vs Panthers: TNF, live stream, TV channel, start time

The Green Bay Packers host the Carolina Panthers Thursday Night Football on Oct. 29 at 8:15 PM ET from Lambeau Field. The game streams nationally on Amazon Prime Video and locally via Fubo, with over‑the‑air options on NBC26 (WGBA) and FOX6 (WITI). After a 20‑17 loss to Detroit, QB Jordan Love aims to rebound, while Panthers QB Bryce Young seeks to spark a turnaround following a 43‑13 defeat to Tampa Bay. Both teams need a win to stay competitive in the Week 8 divisional race.

One glaring matchup problem Georgia can’t hide against Florida

Georgia, ranked No. 3, heads into its Week 9 rivalry against No. 17 Florida with a top‑10 run defense that has recently faltered, allowing 161 yards to Alabama and 192 to Auburn. Florida’s standout rusher Jadan Baugh, who’s posted 763 yards and 13 TDs this season and helps the Gators average 194.3 rushing yards per game (fourth in the SEC), could exploit that vulnerability. If Baugh can flash early‑down success—mirroring the 125‑yard rushes that have powered Jon Sumrall’s teams to a 37‑3 record—the Gators gain a credible upset path. Otherwise, Georgia’s stronger overall defense should keep Florida’s offense in check.

One single matchup gives Auburn chance against Ole Miss

In Week 9 of the SEC, Auburn travels to Oxford to face Ole Miss, a game that could hinge on quarterback Byrum Brown’s rushing ability. After a massive upset over top‑ranked Georgia, Auburn’s ground game faltered against LSU, but the Rebels have surrendered the most rushing yards in the conference—over 161 per game, including 222 to Texas. Brown’s 480 career rushing yards and six rushing TDs give Auburn a potential edge, though the Tigers’ offensive line has allowed 30 sacks this season, making pass protection a liability. If Auburn can exploit Ole Miss’s weak run defense, the matchup may tilt in their favor despite being the underdog.
