Pat McAfee has found himself in the centre of another media storm following his debacle surrounding his recent visit to the University of Utah.
The ESPN presenter has admitted his visit to Utah made him feel uncomfortable with both the university and its students providing him with a hostile atmosphere. In the days since, McAfee has used his platforms to call out his visit as his worst experience yet on College GameDay.
McAfee's comments following the visit have even seen some of his ESPN colleagues criticise him for the manner in which he has handled his frustrations. The public figure has a huge online following and he has used that to call out the University of Utah.
One ESPN colleague in particular has taken to her social media platform to hit back at McAfee suggesting that he needs to grow some thicker skin.
Earlier in the week, McAfee shared some of the direct messages he had been receiving since his visit to Utah Clearly, the messages he has received are not particularly nice but one of his ESPN colleagues has suggested that female sports reporters face worse.

The UIL has found new broadcasting partners for this year's football state championships in Nexstar and Mission Broadcasting.

All 12 state championship games played at AT&T Stadium from Dec. 16-19 will be available on local television and the station's streaming platform, if applicable. Participating stations and platforms in Texas include KDAF and CW33+ (Dallas) and KIAH and CW39+ (Houston).
The UIL previously partnered with Dallas-based streaming service Victory+ to broadcast its football state ******* le games, but the service was dissolved by its parent company in September.
Victory+, which also broadcast Dallas Stars games, first launched in 2024 ahead of the NHL season. The streaming service was set to broadcast the Texas High School Coaches ******* ociation Game of the Week this season, including matchups like Humble Summer Creek versus Shadow Creek, before it shuttered.
Smithson Valley was the only San Antonio area team to play in a UIL football state championship game last season. The Rangers defeated Frisco Lone Star, 28-6, to win their second straight state ******* le. Smithson Valley is a perfect 8-0 so far and will close out its regular season Friday at Seguin.
"The UIL State Football Championships are an important tradition for high schools and communities throughout Texas," said Dr. Jamey Harrison, executive director of the UIL said in a press release. "We are excited to work with Nexstar Media and Mission Broadcasting to expand access to these championship games and we are pleased that fans will be able to watch them through streaming and local television broadcasts across Texas."

The fallout from Kylian Mbappé's comments about a meme depicting Mao Zedong has extended into football video games in China, while the creator of the original montage has spoken about the reaction. On the pitch, Madrid continued preparing for Sunday's visit to Racing Santander, with Arda Güler and Fede Valverde following individual programs. Carlo Ancelotti also announced his latest Brazil squad, calling up Vinícius Júnior and Endrick but leaving Éder Militão out.
The commercial consequences of Mbappé's remarks now include measures affecting Chinese versions of FC Online and Konami's eFootball-related ******* les. Reports citing announcements on the games' local channels describe the removal of promotional material and restrictions on content featuring the Madrid forward.
FC Online said it had begun removing Mbappé-related content from external channels and would implement further changes through an update. The Chinese versions of the Konami ******* les also announced measures covering promotion of the player and the characters or cards ******* ociated with him. The reported action concerns the Chinese editions, rather than a worldwide removal from the franchises.
The measures follow the termination of Mbappé's partnerships with Dongpeng, Mengniu and Milkground, alongside China Media Group's suspension of LaLiga broadcasts and other programming involving the player.
Real Madrid's apology has not ended scrutiny of the club's handling of the controversy. Chinese state-linked outlets and official platforms have questioned the timing of its response and called for measures beyond a public statement. Mbappé apologized on October 27, with Madrid issuing its own apology on October 28.

President Trump recently joked at a rally in Texas that the $5,000 payments he's promised if Republicans win the midterm elections would only get Americans "a hamburger and maybe a small dessert" at his Mar-a-Lago club.
The president has vowed to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain majorities in the House and the Senate after the midterm elections on Nov. 3. Trump specified, though, that the money must be spent in the U.S., pitching his own club as a possible — yet expensive — option on where to spend it.
The tax breaks in Trump's 'big beautiful bill' expire after 2028. Here are 4 moves to make before the window closes

Walmart is reworking an iconic piece of pop culture history to bolster its holiday marketing and a "Who Knew?" brand platform starring Walton Goggins. The goal is to offer a unified marketing push with multigenerational appeal throughout the crucial gift-giving season.
The retailer in the past ran separate campaigns around different legs of the holiday season, such as the ramp-up to Black Friday, but has leveraged "Who Knew?" to streamline its storytelling. "Who Knew?," which launched last year, was developed to dispel misperceptions about the brand and position it as more style- and trend-forward as Walmart wins over higher-income shoppers.
"The holidays are an incredibly cluttered period of time from an advertising standpoint, and so the ability to break through is really important," Walmart CMO William White said in an interview. "Having one [theme], one campaign throughout the season allows a really quick read for customers to know it's Walmart."

Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to challenge Prince William and Kate Middleton. According to sources, the Sussexes are facing new tensions with the monarchy after the King issued a letter reaffirming their status as "non-working royals." As such, Markle is allegedly planning to share more royal secrets in her upcoming projects.
According to OK! Magazine, Meghan Markle is ready to fight Prince William and Kate Middleton after a letter confirming the Sussexes' status. "Meghan suspects William influenced his father's decision to put her and Harry in their place, and believes Kate supported the move," a royal insider told the publication.
The insider continued, "Meghan has correctly interpreted the Palace's position as an attempt to reinforce the Sussexes' exclusion from official royal life." This is "despite their apparent efforts to improve family relations."
However, "she is now ready to take on William and Kate, and fight back against them by spilling even more royal secrets in her future streaming projects." The ******* ss of Sussex "thinks she has nothing to lose now." Another source said, "Meghan believes she and Harry should respond more ******* ertively to negative publicity."
They continued, "The Sussexes could increasingly use their own professional relationships and communications platforms to explain their position." This means "more documentaries and takedowns of the royal family from their U.K. home."

A Florida woman who passed away kept receiving her Social Security retirement benefits for nearly six years — and her great-niece was cashing in.
Asha Anderson, 48, of Pompano Beach, Florida had been withdrawing her great-aunt's benefits from ATMs between April 2017 and December 2022 — to the tune of more than $152,000, according to prosecutors.

Celebrity comedian Sebastian Maniscalco has responded to this week's uproar in the comedy community over his takeover of a SiriusXM channel that for years supported up-and-coming stand-ups while providing them a minor lifeline in royalty checks. He joins the broadcaster in ****** uring those up in arms over the station's disappearance that the company axed it well before the superstar took over.
In April, Maniscalco's Comedy Radio replaced SiriusXM's Channel 99, the longtime home of the Raw Comedy/Raw Dog channel, a small corner of the satellite radio giant where up-and-coming comedians could not only launch their careers but make a few bucks doing it. SiriusXM replaced the "jukebox channel," which rotated sets from comics and had no host, with one now "curated and headlined by Maniscalco" that features mostly mainstream and well-known talent. The uproar came this week when the advocacy group Stand Up for Standup and big-name comedians like Patton Oswalt, Margaret Cho and Michelle Wolf took to social media to ask Maniscalco to bring Raw Comedy back to the platform. On Thursday, the superstar comic replied.

Sydney Sweeney and Marilyn Monroe have often been compared to one another – and there's now an official reason for that.
It turns out the White Lotus alum, 29, and the late Hollywood icon – who died in 1962, aged 36 – are related.
New research from global family history platform MyHeritage has found that Sydney and Monroe are 9th cousins, once removed.
The connection comes through their paternal lines – Sydney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Marilyn's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford.

We now have a better idea of exactly who the biggest creators are on social media. ESHAP and What's Trending have partnered to unveil the second annual Creator Map, a guide to the biggest creators by platform. And TheWrap has your first look at their findings.
The Creator Map will be unveiled later today at the first Jupiter Festival Miami, which is sponsored by YouTube. Evan Shapiro, media cartographer and ESHAP founder and CEO; Shira Lazar, What's Trending founder and CEO; and Jon Goss, CEO of the Lighthouse will unveil the project on the main stage of the event.
Described as the "definitive visual guide to the creator ecosphere," the Creator Map offers a data-informed view of the creator economy, an industry that can often feel confusing and chaotic from an outsider perspective. For the first time, the top 200 creators across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok will have both their follower counts and Affinity Quotient scores published on the map. Sponsored by Whalar Group and with data powered by Whalar's creator operating system Foam, the Affinity Quotient measures the depth of audience engagement and places a greater emphasis on active signals such as shares and saves than on passive interactions. That's an important insight as engagement rather than follower count has become the top metric in the creator economy. The Creator Affinity 100 list was first presented at this this year's IBC and identified 100 creators generating the greatest affinity among their audiences.
The map also identifies top creators across Snap, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, Pinterest and Rumble, along with the top Substack publishers and podcasters. Additionally, it identifies some of the top agencies, studios, technology tools, payment platforms and other companies powering the creator ecosystem. Check it out below:

Valerie Bertinelli is shrugging off the criticism she received after paying tribute to her late ex-husband, musician Eddie Van Halen.
The actor turned celebrity chef acknowledged the sixth anniversary of Van Halen's death Tuesday by sharing a throwback photo on her social media platforms that showed the pair driving together on a highway.

"Photos may fade, like old photos do, but not the memories and never the love," she wrote in the caption.
The snapshot, however, quickly divided Bertinelli's followers, with some questioning why she'd reflect on Van Halen, who died in 2020 at age 65, so fondly. The couple ― who share a son, Wolfgang ― divorced in 2007 after about 26 years of marriage.

Elon Musk's net worth once again topped the $1 trillion mark this week—and few people have had a closer look at the forces behind his success than his former deputy Linda Yaccarino.
The 30-year media veteran was tapped as CEO of then-Twitter in 2023, stepping in as Musk was remaking the social platform from the ground up, and she got a firsthand look at the philosophy driving his companies, from Tesla to **** eX: Move fast, rethink everything, and don't wait for tomorrow.
"The reason his companies are singular in what they deliver is because of the insatiable sense of urgency. There's not a deadline for a project or to ship something, a product—it's now," Yaccarino told Fortune.
That mindset, she said, changes how you approach virtually any challenge. Rather than simply working toward a deadline, it forces you to strip a project down to its most essential pieces and figure out what actually needs to happen to succeed.
"A lot of people talk about first principles, but that's what it forces you to do," Yaccarino added.

Ash Gardner has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll that contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Monica Wright.

Gardner said the situation became far more public than she expected and admitted she had been "naive" about the level of attention it would attract.

The controversy came to light earlier this year when Wright revealed the affair on social media. The relationship is believed to have begun during the Women's World Cup in India last year. Gardner has since apologised to Wright and said she has spent time reflecting on what happened.
Speaking to Australian outlet CODE Sports, Gardner acknowledged that her public image had taken a hit, saying, "My reputation has been tarnished with the public, but I guess something that I always try to strive to do when representing any team that I play in is be the best teammate that I can, and hopefully show what this team means to me when I'm playing for them."

The Australian vice-captain also said being a high-profile athlete means personal matters can attract intense public interest.

"Playing sport at a high level, you're open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren't doing."
Gardner admitted she was shocked when Wright publicly identified Voll, writing, "This is who my wife cheated on me with," alongside a photo of the teammate.

"I was certainly surprised, as you could imagine," Gardner said.

She added, "I certainly didn't expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations."

Gardner said she now wants to focus on learning from the experience, having difficult conversations where necessary and moving forward with the Australian team.

She also said she understood Wright's perspective and tried to remain positive during what she described as a very difficult period.

Heidi Klum just brought a very special plus-one to Paris Fashion Week, and the mother-daughter duo is turning heads. The supermodel, 53, stepped out with her youngest child, 16-year-old daughter Lou, for the Vivienne Westwood show. It was the teen's Fashion Week debut, and she proved that she's been taking notes from her stylish mom. The pair coordinated in chic peplum silhouettes and towering platforms.
Heidi Klum and daughter Lou coordinated in peplum looks at the Vivienne Westwood show. Lou, whose dad is singer Seal, usually stays out of the spotlight, which makes this sweet outing even more special. A video from the event shows the two posing side by side in front of a white backdrop splashed with bold orange and red brushstrokes. They look relaxed, happy, and completely in sync.
Heidi went for a glamorous all-white moment. Her ivory satin blazer features a deep plunging neckline, sculpted shoulders, and a single gold ******* on at the waist. She paired it with a matching floor-length satin skirt that skimmed the ground. The model mom finished the look with a sparkling statement necklace and her golden blonde waves styled loose and tousled.
Lou, on the other hand, brought a warm and earthy twist. The teen wore a ******* on-front, corset-style mini dress in a washed brown print. The fitted bodice features thin straps and a scooped neckline, while the flared peplum waist adds a playful touch of movement. The design is a perfect nod to Westwood's famous love for dramatic corsetry and tailoring. She accessorized with a gold bangle and let her dark, voluminous curls fall naturally around her shoulders.
The most eye-catching part of both outfits is the footwear. Lou towers in patterned platform sandals with ankle straps, done in rich brown and red tones that match her dress. Heidi's blue platform shoes peek out from beneath her skirt in a closing shot, adding a fun pop of color to her neutral outfit.
