Lizzo snuggles Grogu in a cameo-filled ‘The Mandalorian’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:14:59 GMT

(CNN) — Lizzo has officially joined the “Star Wars” galaxy far, far away.The “About Damn Time” singer surprised fans when she appeared in the latest episode of “The Mandalorian” as a noblewoman who becomes fast friends with young Grogu (Baby Yoda to the uninitiated).She cameoed alongside Jack Black, who played her daffy husband. Lizzo floated onscreen as Duchess of the Outer Rim planet Plazir-15, and, from what viewers saw, she spends her time sipping on “secretions” and playing interstellar bocce with her court. Black as Captain Bombardier was by her side through it all, a former Imperial officer who fell for the Duchess when he was sent to Plazir for “rehabilitation.” (He swore in the episode he has no Imperial leanings.)When Mando, fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze and, of course, Grogu enter her “domed paradise,” the Duchess and the baby quickly become close companions.

What is the fairest Aaron Rodgers trade for the Jets and Packers?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:14:59 GMT

It has been almost a month since Aaron Rodgers expressed his intent to play for the Jets.Since then, the Jets have spoken to the Packers about trading for the 18-year veteran, but a deal has yet to be reached.Last Friday, during a media event in New York, WFAN’s Boomer Esiason asked Jets general manager Joe Douglas about Aaron Rodgers. Douglas responded, “He’s gonna be here.”The Jets and Packers would both like to finalize a trade for Rodgers before the NFL Draft, which will be held from April 27 through the 29th. Gang Green wants Rodgers around for its offseason program, while Green Bay wants more draft capital.So what might a trade for Rodgers look like on both sides?Ideally, the Packers would want the Jets first-round pick [13th overall] for Rodgers, but that’s unlikely to happen. However, the Jets have two second-round picks that they could give away.The Jets receive:Aaron RodgersThe Packers receive:2023 second-round pick (No. 42 overall)2023 fourth...

All eyes on Trae Young as usual in Heat-Hawks, this time in play-in game

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:14:59 GMT

There was a time when Trae Young thought he owned the Miami Heat, or at least when the Atlanta Hawks guard acted that way.That, to be precise, was during a December 2019 game, after the Hawks went up six with 59.9 seconds to play.At that moment, Young, defiantly, swiped his arms to his side to signal to the fans at AmericanAirlines Arena that it was over, mouthing those words, as well.It wasn’t. The Heat would rally to force overtime and then win 135-121.No, it was not the best moment.Many no-so-best moments would follow for Young against the Heat, creating arguably the lead narrative for Tuesday night’s play-in game at Kaseya Center, with the winning team advancing to the best-of-seven opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Boston Celtics on Saturday and the loser left to fend for itself in hosting a Friday winner-take-all game against the loser of Wednesday night’s Chicago Bulls-Toronto Raptors play-in game.“The Trae Young narratives,&...
