New York Giants Place Franchise Tag on Saquon

The New York Giants are placing the non-exclusive franchise tag on star running back Saquon Barkley. 

Barkley put together his best season as a pro under first-year head coach Brian Daboll in 2022. He earned his second-career Pro Bowl invite after recording a career-high 1,312 rushing yards as well as 10 touchdowns.

The Penn State product dazzled during his rookie campaign after New York selected him with the second overall pick in 2018. He led the league with 2,028 scrimmage yards and added 15 total touchdowns on his way to being named the Offensive Rookie of the Year.

New York appeared destined to tag QB Daniel Jones due to stalled negotiations, which would’ve let Barkley test free agency. However, the  Giants reached an agreement on a reported four-year, $160-million contract extension with Jones. The club then elected to use the tender on Barkley.

Chick-fil-A Testing New Plant-Based Cauliflower Sandwich

Chick-fil-A is testing a new one-of-a-kind plant-forward entree – the Chick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich – in three US markets.

Inspired by flavors from the original Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, theChick-fil-A Cauliflower Sandwich is made with a tender filet cut from a whole, real cauliflower that is marinated and breaded in the original Chick-fil-A signature seasoning, pressure-cooked and paired with two dill pickle chips and served between two toasted, buttery buns.  

The testing of the Cauliflower Sandwich is currently taking place in Denver, Charleston, S.C. and North Carolina’s Greensboro-Triad region.

Customers in the three test markets can check the Chick-fil-A App or contact their local Chick-fil-A restaurant to find out if their restaurant will be participating in the test.

According to the brand, Chick-fil-A chefs created, developed and tested the sandwich in-house for nearly four years to find the right ingredients and perfect the recipe.

Ozzy Osbourne Cancels Tour Dates

Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne has announced his retirement from touring.

The Black Sabbath frontman, 74, pulled the plug on all of his upcoming shows in the UK and Europe as he continues to recover from spinal surgery.

In a statement shared on social media, the “Crazy Train” hitmaker said he’s no longer able to tour around the globe due to the damage his spine has endured in a nasty accident four years ago.

Apologizing to fans, Osbourne acknowledged he “never would have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way.”

“I am honestly humbled by the way you’ve all patiently held onto your tickets for all this time, but in all good conscience, I have now come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of doing my upcoming European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t deal with the travel required,” the Brit said.
