Colin Cowherd Has a Real Problem with JJ Redick
It’s his backwards hat. Cowherd thinks you can’t be taken seriously in a backwards cap. “Don’t love the backward hat for JJ Redick. Didn’t like it,” Cowherd ranted. “I didn’t hear a word LeBron said, I couldn’t stop staring at the hat. JJ Redick’s going for NBA head coaching jobs, he looks like a guy that’s gonna move my couch.”
Johnny Bench wore a backwards hat.
Should WNBA Teams Have Same Names as NBA?
On The Bill Simmons podcast, Ethan Strauss brought up the idea that WNBA teams should share team names with their NBA counterparts. “The one thing they should have done — and maybe there’s still time to do — that they didn’t do from the outset is just use the same team names,” Strauss said. “Like, why force people to learn about the Fever? Why not just have the W-Pacers? I think that makes it so much easier to just resonate and cut across.”
“Like how in college, how it will be ‘the Lady Gamecocks,’” Simmons replied, seemingly in agreement.
The New York Knicks will be the womens team.

Jerry Apologizes to Howard
Seinfeld told TMZ that he felt bad for some comments he made on the Fly on the Wall podcast that may have implied that Howard Stern isn’t funny. “I really feel bad for what I said about my friend Howard Stern in a conversation with David Spade and Dana Carvey, talking about the glut of comedy podcasts,” he told TMZ. Seinfeld told TMZ he “meant to say he must feel surrounded, but I said ‘outflanked,’ which sounded terrible and insulting.” “And of course, none of these little shows are any threat to his giant show,” Seinfeld continued. “Anyway, it was bad and I’m sorry, Howie. I still love you. Please forgive me.”
The comment in question: “Howard Stern invented this, right? But we’re better than him now. Howard is interesting. Howard is a great interviewer, but comedy chops, I mean, can we speak candidly? let’s face it, he’s been outflanked by some very, and yourselves, I mean absolutely, this show, comedy podcast? This is the best one on the air,” Seinfeld added. “Because you guys play nice together, it’s smooth, you’re not jumping on each other, which is annoying to listen to.”
Could you just cancel yourself snowflakes?
Tom Selleck and Lady DI
Remember that old story about John Travolta dancing with Lady Di? Well it has a coda that involves Tom Selleck. Apparently the Lady and the scamp were heading for song 2, and her handlers didn’t dig that at all, and so they not only asked, but pushed Tom Selleck to do the old cut in, so there wouldn’t be weird rumors and gossip.
He went from being a mustache to a beard.

Busy Philipps Kids Sometimes Hate Her Celebrity
“I’m definitely a different kind of mom. I’m a little weird, and I’m just trying to figure it out as I go along. Most parents don’t do what I do for a living. My kids have a wildly different experience from their friends, and sometimes they hate it. And I don’t blame them.”
Then they must be just fine now.
Andy Cohen in the Clear
“The outside investigation into the recent allegations made by Brandi Glanville and Leah McSweeney against Andy Cohen has now been completed, and the claims were found to be unsubstantiated,” a Bravo spokeswoman told Deadline.
