Former Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders at number one  overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Mendoza, 22, opted not to attend the draft in Pittsburgh, instead sharing his experience with his family in Miami. The 2025 Heisman Trophy winner and national champion had one of the most decorated seasons in college football history during his year in Bloomington.

The redshirt junior threw for 3,535 yards, an NCAA-best 41 touchdowns and six interceptions on 273 of 379 passing in 2025, winning the national title and a slew of individual awards including the Heisman Trophy, College Football Playoff MVP, Associated Press College Football Player of the Year and Big Ten Most Valuable Player and being selected as a consensus All-American in 2025.

Fox Television Network announced that Johnny Knoxville will host Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, with the reality competition series scheduled to premiere during Fox’s 2026 season. Knoxville originated the MTV stunt show Jackass, which also went on to release four theatrical movies.

The network previously announced it was bringing back the show, which originally aired on NBC from 2001-2006, hosted by Joe Rogan. The show was revived by MTV in 2017 for two seasons, emceed by Ludacris.

Fox said the series will gather a group of strangers and put them under one roof in an “unforgiving, remote location.” The plan is to then throw “mind-blowing stunts and harrowing challenges” at them as they participate in a “twisted game of social strategy,” said Fox. Casting for contestants is open to those 18 and older in the United States and Canada.

The NFL announced it will host its first-ever regular season game in Paris, France, during the 2026 season, adding more countries to its international slate.

The New Orleans Saints have been named as the participating “home” team against the Cleveland Browns at the Stade de France, the country’s national stadium.

“Playing our first‑ever regular season game at the impressive Stade de France, together with the New Orleans Saints, underlines our continued global growth ambitions and we look forward to bringing the NFL to our passionate fans in France.”

The NFL has confirmed eight international games in 2026, which also includes one in Melbourne, Australia; one in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil; one in Munich, Germany; three in London, England and one in Madrid, Spain.
