Happy New Year…I guess, 20-23 is making it’s presents known….Last night’s “Monday Night Football” game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals was postponed, after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field in the first quarter. Hamlin had just tackled receiver Tee Higgins. He hopped back to his feet, then fell straight backwards. CPR was administered for several minutes, before Hamlin was taken by ambulance to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. As of now Hamlin who is 24 years old reportedly had a cardiac event and is in critical condition.

The Daily Mail says Jeremy Renner is in critical, but stable condition following a snow plowing accident. Jeremy was airlifted to a hospital on Sunday after First Responders were called to his mansion in the Sierra Nevada mountains. He was reportedly injured while using one of his industrial snow plows. Hollywoodlife.com says the snow plow ran over one of Jeremy’s legs. TMZ says one of Jeremy’s neighbors, who’s a doctor, placed a tourniquet on his leg in order to stop the massive bleeding. That’s when Medics arrived and airlifted Jeremy to the hospital. CNN says Jeremy has undergone two extensive surgeries to save his leg. He has returned from surgery and remains in the intensive care unit in critical but stable condition.”

This was the first time in years that Tom was so sure he had a slam-dunk win he was fine-tuning his acceptance speech.”

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
