The Black QB Revolution Is Here

What do Tyrese Haliburton and Christian McCaffrey have in common with Jessica Alba, Julianne Moore, and Ludacris? For one, impeccable hair. Also, they’re all now ambassadors for Movado watches. Once you get over the Mad Libs of it, the photos are pretty sick.

Kristin Juszczyk’s collab with Gatorade proves once again that she is doing it like no other WAG in the NFL. The custom jackets she made for Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes were only the beginning.

UFC is heading to The Sphere, where Dana White promises to “take what U2 did and multiply it by a million.” So, U2million then? Right now, it’s costing about $20 million, so if anything, White is underestimating.

Fox’s quest to get Tom Brady into the announcer’s booth was a Hail Mary years in the making that the network still can’t quite believe it pulled off. What does $37.5 million a year buy you in a broadcaster? We’re about to find out.

The PGA-LIV rivalry is finally getting settled on the course. Well, sorta. Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will face off against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in the next edition of The Match. The LIV guys have the advantage—they’re used to playing exhibition matches.

Bet Livvy Dunne could do a backflip in a quarterzip. Who’s tuning into The ManningCast next Monday on ESPN2?? @Omaha Productions, you’re in right??

It was not that long ago that an NFL team being led by a black quarterback was so rare that beat reporters would call up other black quarterbacks from the past to ask them to comment.

That has changed. A LOT. Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson have won four of the past six MVP awards, and will ring in the start of the 2024 season on Thursday. They’re not the only ones making big moves on and off the field.

It’s a crowded field, but Jalen Hurts has a case for most stylish player in the NFL. This man plays in Jordan 11’s, imagine what he wears when he’s dressing to impress. He’s also a crawfish master and beloved by the cast of “Abbott Elementary.” What more can you ask?

CJ Stroud only needed a season to become one of the biggest stars in the sport. He’s got an investment portfolio that can go toe-to-toe with the best of ‘em, and is as entertaining a podcast host as he is a quarterback.

Caleb Williams has yet to play a true NFL snap for the Bears but has already brought Chicago more hope than you could find in a CBS primetime window in the 90s. Williams, 22, is making it cool for football players to enjoy a mani-pedi when the time calls. That’s changing the game, folks.

Black quarterbacks have come a long way in just the past few years, shifting from rarity to icon. Prime Video’s upcoming docuseries “Evolution of the Black Quarterback” will see Michael Vick examine the phenomenon in detail. Check the trailer below.

The scene: Bam Adebayo is getting a key to the city for Miami-Dade County. Should be boring right? Instead, the mayor decides to shout out A’ja Wilson, who is sitting in the crowd alongside Adebayo’s family, and in the process put their relationship(?) on blast.

Immediately, fans jumped to remind Bam—do not fumble this buddy. The best player in the league hopped on a cross-country flight after a 30/14 night to sit next to your mom at a ribbon cutting. That is LOVE love.

Jokes aside, we love love here. Wilson and Adebayo’s relationship status is theirs and theirs alone. Wilson had a good attitude about her personal life suddenly becoming social media fodder.

While Wilson and Adebayo might not have been Instagram official or whatever the kids are calling it these days, those who had been paying attention had been well aware of their seemingly blossoming relationship.
