A harsh reality set in for the Dallas Cowboys when the halfway mark of the NFL regular season arrived last week.

Penn State University police are investigating an altercation between retired Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and a fan over a cellphone that occurred before the weekend game between the Nittany Lions and Ohio State.

An argument between two men during the Dallas Cowboys’ Monday Night Football game ended with both men being stabbed multiple times, according to San Antonio police.

Disney and Charter Communications announced a deal to settle a dispute that had cut some 15 million cable TV customers off from ESPN and other Disney-owned stations.

ESPN is near the goal line of landing a top-tier talent to join the “Monday Night Football” booth.

An extra week of games, close finishes and a non-election year helped propel the NFL to its highest regular-season ratings in six years.

ESPN’s pursuit of Peyton Manning to be a part of “Monday Night Football” has paid off.

ESPN has finally landed Peyton Manning as a “Monday Night Football” commentator.

Monday marks a significant anniversary for an iconic television program, as “Monday Night Football” will air again exactly 50 years to the day of its first broadcast. The game took place in Cleveland, where the host Browns ultimately beat the New York Jets, 31-21. To view a short video of that broadcast and game on YouTube, click or tap here. From there, “Monday Night Football” took off, becoming the signature broadcast for football fans. From country music star Hank Williams, Jr. singing his famous intro, “All My Rowdy Friends Are Here on Monday Night” to some of the best moments in NFL history, “Monday Night Football” has been an institution for many.

ESPN is hoping that one of the architects of rock n' roll can bring some new energy to their “Monday Night Football” show with fewer fans in the stands this year. The new season starting Monday will feature a new version of Little Richard's hit “Rip It Up” featuring new instrumentals and backup vocals from the Virginia-based band Butcher Brown. The song replaces Hank Williams Jr.'s “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight," which was repurposed with new lyrics like, “All my rowdy friends are here for Monday night.”ESPN said in a press release on Friday that Little Richard's song will be combined with NFL and team highlights. “We’re truly excited to have teamed up with ESPN for this project, and are honored to have had the opportunity to work with the music of the King of Rock N’ Roll, Little Richard,” said Butcher Brown in a statement provided by ESPN. “Monday Night Football” will kick off with a doubleheader featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers playing New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans at the Denver Broncos.

(CNN) -- If you yearn for a relaxing and rejuvenating escape at sea, a week in tight quarters with thousands of Philadelphia Eagles fans may not be for you. But Eagles fans who celebrate their well-earned reputation for unruliness will probably not want to miss the March 21-28, 2021, Eagles fan cruise on Royal Caribbean's leviathan Anthem of the Seas. The site made no mention of security for a cruise packed with fans with a longstanding reputation for rowdiness. Between chants of "E-A-G-L-E-S, Eagles," a horde of fans flipped over a car. When the Eagles played at Veterans Stadium, a makeshift courtroom was installed in the stadium to quickly adjudicate fans arrested during games.
