Rockies utilityman Cole Tucker and actress Vanessa Hudgens are set to tie the knot, per reports from TMZ and Life & Style.
Per the reports, the pair got engaged towards the end of 2022. They have not gone public with the engagement at this time.

Kansas City’s star tight end made clear that he doesn’t want to see any funny business with Philadelphia’s iconic landmark ahead of the Super Bowl.
In recent week, it’s become somewhat of a tradition for opposing fanbases to try and get under the skin of the Eagles faithful by “decorating” the iconic statue of Rocky outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art in a non-Eagles jersey.

Derek Carr doesn’t sound too beat up about being benched by the Raiders and shoved out of Las Vegas.
The veteran QB was FEELING himself during Thursday night’s Pro Bowl games – which, I’ll be honest with you, I had NO idea were going on – and cracked a few (sad) jokes over the final few weeks of his Raiders tenure.
Following one of the events – apparently the AFC won, 71-55? – Carr was asked by ESPN’s Ryan Clark if he had ever been that hot in Las Vegas, and he replied: “Not that hot. It’s probably why I’m going somewhere else.

It’s a loaded slate this weekend.
