Miami’s Super Bowl just got a whole lot more fun. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira announced on Thursday that they will headline the halftime show during Super Bowl LIV.

Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week: "I haven't met anybody who's invulnerable to a well-planted elbow in the groin." -- Wolverine, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" Here at Bottom 10 Headquarters, located in a dark corner somewhere in the vastness of Jesse Palmer's pocket square storage facility, we spend a lot of time watching superhero movies. When those movies are finished, we then spend even more time discussing what it would be like to be one of those superheroes. So much time that we currently owe $782.52 to Redbox for an "Iron Man 3" DVD that we rented six years ago.

Here’s the complete Week 5 college football schedule with dates, matches, locations, kickoff times and TV channels.

The historic matchup between University of Georgia and Notre Dame was a major win for CBS Sports. The Sept. 21 game featuring the No. 3 Bulldogs and No. 10 Fighting Irish was the highest-rated college football game on any network so far this season — and the most watched game in September in six years, according to CBS Corp. (NYSE: CBS). The game earned an average household metered market rating/share of 6.2/13, CBS said.

Nashville is becoming an increasingly popular road trip for SEC fans. The Music City is still learning how to properly handle being invaded by SEC football fans. LSU alum Taylor Martina had quite the amusing story to share on Twitter Saturday morning: Tigers fans had already drained one bar’s vodka supply before 10 a.m. Nashville local time. (That’s a lot of morning screwdrivers…)

Brown, the wide receiver who has been released by both the Raiders and Patriots, wrote on Twitter this morning that he’s had enough. “Will not be playing in the @NFL anymore these owners can cancel deals do whatever they want at anytime we will see if the @NFLPA hold them accountable sad they can just void guarantees anytime going on 40m 2 months will see if they pay up,” Brown wrote. Brown, who had previously had kind things to say about the Patriots organization even after they released him, also took a shot at Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s solicitation charges....

Throughout his career, Tennessee athletic director Phillip Fulmer has earned the reputation as a relentless backstabber. That began when he took the Tennessee head coaching job from Johnny Majors in the early 1990s, angling while Majors was recovering from heart surgery. Later, Fulmer consistently attempted to undercut a procession of Tennessee coaches — Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley and Butch Jones — and also played grand maestro in the coup to unseat athletic director John Currie last year. For decades, Phillip Fulmer’s reputation has revolved around consistently and persistently operating to maximize the full glory, attention and financial benefit of Phillip...

Everything that could wrong for Michigan has gotten wrong including a turnover inside the Badger 5 yard line. Jonathan Taylor has been out for awhile but he still has 143 yards rushing. He took advantage of Michigan not setting the edge for a 70+ yard TD run. What an embarrassment for Michigan. It seems inconceivable Harbaugh could be on the hot seat but. .

ALBEMARLE, N.C. (WBTV) – Officials say the Friday night football game that was scheduled for North Stanly High School has been canceled due to security concerns amid debate surrounding the recent probation of cheerleaders at the school. According to a tweet from Stanly County Schools, the school district says they have been notified of additional information that could compromise safety measures in place for sporting events. “Safety is our first concern,” the tweet from the school district read. The decision comes amid controversy surrounding the probation of cheerleaders at North Stanly High School after photos made the rounds on social...

BOSTON (CBS) — Antonio Brown’s Patriots career is over after one game. ADVERTISING After a controversial day, the Patriots released the wide receiver from their roster. “The New England Patriots are releasing Antonio Brown,” Patriots spokesperson Stacey James said. “We appreciate the hard work of many people over the past 11 days, but we feel that it is best to move in a different direction at this time.” The news broke Friday, just moments after Brown shared some posts on social media that indicated something was about to take place. He posted a photo of himself and Tom Brady to...

Here’s the complete Week 4 college football schedule with dates, matches, locations, kickoff times and TV channels.

Good morning! Week 3 of the NFL is already fast approaching, but if you're looking for some marquee games between evenly matched teams, this probably isn't your weekend. Only five of the 16 games currently feature a line of three points or less and only one — Rams at Browns on Sunday night — can be considered appointment viewing. Two lopsided games set to make history However, if you're a fan of mismatches that are over after the first drive, you're in luck! Both the Dolphins-Cowboys (-21.5) and the Jets-Patriots (-22.5) opened with Jerry World-sized lines that are also making...

Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles brewery posted a job opening for someone seeking to "get paid to watch football" at Los Angeles Rams games. Golden Road Brewing said its "Chief Beer Officer" will be paid $150 per event to attend every Los Angeles Rams home game and promote the brewery's products -- especially the new Whose House?! Blonde Ale. "You need to be willing to get paid to watch football, promote the Golden Road brand and all that comes with it," the job posting states. The posting says an ideal candidate will have "1-35+ years tailgating experience" and...

The beginning of Willie Taggart's Florida State career hasn't gone according to anybody's plan. The Seminoles missed a bowl game for the first time in 36 years following a 2018 season that included blowout losses at the hands of Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Clemson, Notre Dame and Florida, and his second season hasn't been much better thus far. Now, even the kids are upset with Taggart. The Tallahassee Democrat reports that Clayton Grant, a 4-year-old Florida State fan who lives in Tallahassee, set up a "Free Willie" lemonade stand in front of his grandmother's house. He charged $20 per cup and...

When USC athletic director Lynn Swann resigned this week, football coach Clay Helton lost a key ally. Swann didn’t hire Helton, and he and Helton weren’t even particularly chummy behind the scenes. But they were linked by the golden handcuffs of the ridiculous contract extension that Swann gave Helton in February of 2018. It’s a deal that will be remembered as the negotiating version of Swann sitting alone at an auction and holding up his pamphlet over and over to bid against himself for Helton’s services. At a time when Helton had little leverage, USC massively misjudged the market and...

Fox sports analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw announced his disdain for players like Antonio Brown during an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review following the wide receiver's tumultuous offseason. Brown may have broken most of the Steelers' wide-receiver records during his nearly decade-long run with the team, but Bradshaw says he would never have thrown to him. "I'm not pulling for him, I can promise you that," Bradshaw said of Brown via CBS Sports. "I cannot emphasize how I cannot stand and have a disdain totally for players like that. I don't want any part of them. I...

Most elementary school kids don't have their college plans firmed up, but the University of Tennessee super-fan who was bullied for his homemade T-shirt can mark that off of his list. "In recognition of the fourth-grader's Volunteer spirit, the university has extended an offer of honorary admission for him to join the Class of 2032," the school said in a statement. "In addition, he has been awarded a four-year scholarship covering his tuition and fees beginning fall 2028 should he decide to attend UT and meet admission requirements."

Much to the delight of its rival up north, the pretentious meter was pegged in the middle of August when Ohio State confirmed that it had filed the paperwork seeking a trademark on the word “The” as it pertains to items being marketed with the university’s name. Buckeye Nation, of course, takes great pride in letting everyone know that they are THE Ohio State University at nearly every turn, and the university is simply looking to protect that brand of self-identification. For now, though, that initial application made to the United States Patent & Trademark Office has been denied
