Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, The Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood attend Yankees game

A rocker, Ronnie Wood, and a quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, were at the Yankees game on Monday

Quite the electic pair of celebs at the Seattle Martiners-New York Yankees game on Monday in the Bronx.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a guest of Yankees pitcher Marcus Stroman.

And, one member of the legendary Rolling Stones, guitarist Ronnie Wood, was on hand to see the Bronx Bombers.

The Rolling Stones are in the Big Apple for two shows at Met Life Stadium (May 23 and 26). That’s also the venue Rodgers and the Jets call home.

It’s anyone’s guess but chances are Wood will be playing long after Rodgers retires.

Panthers S Jordan Fuller has some pretty famous family members

New Panthers S Jordan Fuller might be a Six Degrees of Separation cheat code.

Never mind football. Playing Six Degrees of Separation with Jordan Fuller is where the real fun is at.

The new Carolina Panthers safety spoke with local reporters on Wednesday, hosting his first chat since he signed his fresh one-year, $5.25 million deal. When the Zoom call ventured into the 26-year-old’s interests, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer asked Fuller about the sound-proof panel that was set up behind him.

Fuller, who said he’s been rapping and singing, told Kaye that he has a pretty big contact in the music industry.

“I enjoy it,” he replied. “It’s a part of my family. My mom sings. She has her solo career, but also she sang background with, basically, you name it—she sang with them.  So grew up goin’ to concerts like Luther Vandross, he was Uncle Luther to us. She sang with Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys.”

Fuller’s mother, Cindy Mizelle, is a veteran vocalist who has backed many of music’s greatest artists. In addition to Uncle Luther, The Stones, Mariah and Alicia, Mizelle has also worked with Whitney Houston, Dave Matthews Band, Steely Dan and more.

As of that wasn’t cool enough, Fuller even has a tie to the movie industry. His aunt, Meredith, is married to actor and comedian David Adkins—more commonly known as Sinbad.

Yeah, Sinbad is his uncle!

So if Panthers owner David Tepper is looking to fill Bank of America Stadium with some more concerts this year, one of his newest players just might be able to help.

Top 10 musical artists that need to perform at Notre Dame Stadium

Who do you want to see play in South Bend?

According to the website setlist.fm, Johnny Cash was the first artist to play at Notre Dame Stadium in 1977. That would be the last musical performance at the stadium until Chicago played at halftime of the Irish’s 2017 game against USC. Since then, Chicago has come back for one other game, and Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have played there twice apiece. Weezer appeared there for the 2019 Winter Classic, and Billy Joel played a full show there in 2022.

Other than that, Notre Dame Stadium has a very paltry history when it comes to hosting big musical acts. I don’t know or care what’s behind that. I just want to see Notre Dame Stadium become a hot spot for concerts like most other stadiums around the world are when they don’t have games to host. Plus, such things only can be a boost to South Bend’s economy, and those shouldn’t have to happen only during football season.

Here are 10 artists I believe need to add Notre Dame Stadium to their next tour:

Auburn fans recall their favorite concerts held at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum

Beard-Eaves has seen some major acts come through over the years.

Beard Eaves Memorial Coliseum opened up on January 11, 1969 with a historic win over an LSU team led by Pistol Pete Maravich.

It also survived 45 years of concerts, many of them turning into cherished memories for Auburn fans everywhere. In its early days the Coliseum saw acts like Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones. The Coliseum went out rocking with Dierks Bentley and Rascall Flatts back in 2014.

Before we begin reminiscing its important to note that I was not able to obtain the dates for each of these artists. If your favorite artist is mentioned without a year please feel free to give us a shout-out!

Songstress Cindy Mizelle has had 2 sons drafted by NFL teams

The Rams took Jordan Fuller from Ohio State and they should sign up his mom, Cindy Mizelle, to sing the anthem before a game.

Cindy Mizelle is one of the best background singers in any genre. However, the songstress with the incredible voice doesn’t have to take a backseat to many when it comes to being an NFL mom.

Mizelle has contributed her vocal talents to over 120 albums by artists such as Freddie Jackson, Carly Simon, Chaka Khan, Johnathan Butler, George Benson, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Patti Labelle, CĂ©line Dion, Anastacia, and Alicia Keys.

She has also toured (and recorded) with Whitney Houston, Dave Matthews Band, and on The Rolling Stones’ 1990 “Steel Wheels” Tour. She is probably best known as having been an outstanding background vocalist for Luther Vandross, both in the studio, and on stage. She has toured with Bruce Springsteen.

Mizelle’s son, Devin, was a seventh-round pick out of UCLA in 2016. He made the Falcons before injuries derailed his pro career.

Another son, Jordan, has been the glue in Ohio State’s secondary for the past four years, playing in 45 games. Jordan Fuller is a safety who made more than 200 tackles as a Buckeye. His college performance earned him a sixth-round draft selection Saturday by the Los Angeles Rams.

Here are some highlights of Jordan Fuller.

And here are some highlights of Cindy Mizelle.

With The Rolling Stones:

And with Bruce Springsteen
