The Cleveland Browns announced Friday that quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his first start of the 2026 season in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, as Deshaun Watson remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. Sanders, a 2025 fifth-round pick (QB #2), took first-team reps all week. Head coach Todd Monken announced the decision Friday: "I'm fired up to see him play. I mean, who wouldn't be?" Watson is officially listed as questionable. The Browns (5-3) play at New Orleans (2-5) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at the Caesars Superdome.

West Hollywood has become the first U.S. city to open a domestic partnership registry for relationships of three or more people. The City Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 26-13 on November 3, 2026; it takes effect December 2. Three or more adults in a consensual relationship can file a declaration with the city clerk — they don't even have to live in West Hollywood. Registered partners get hospital and jail visitation rights and added tenant protections. What it is NOT: a marriage, and not a state-recognized domestic partnership. It doesn't touch inheritance, taxes or immigration. It's a city-level recognition and protection framework — the first of its kind in the country. Source: NY Post , Nov 4, 2026.

Walking more each day is linked to a sharper mind, according to a study published in Scientific Reports. Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine analyzed Fitbit records spanning 14 years (2009–2023) for 3,093 adults ages 18 to 93 in the NIH's All of Us program. Participants fell into three groups by daily steps: about 5,108, 8,875 and 14,161. The two higher-step groups scored significantly better on tests of sustained attention, ignoring distractions and delayed gratification — every extra 1,000 steps a day was worth a small but real bump. The honest caveat: the study is observational. Cognition was measured once, and the researchers say it does not prove walking causes better brain performance.

Adrien Broner was once one of boxing's biggest personalities — a four-division world champion who earned an estimated $30 million in the ring. He has been just as open about losing it. In his new 85 South Show appearance ("Adrien Broner & Tracy T in the trap!" — Nov 6, 2026), Broner gets emotional talking about going broke after his boxing career and not being able to provide for his kids. The second act is streaming. Broner rebuilt on Kick alongside DeenTheGreat, and in July 2026 he broke down again — this time celebrating: a seven-figure streaming payout made him a millionaire again. "They thought I was dead," he said. "Y'all got me feeling like I'm back world champion again." Sources: 85 South Show / Channel 85 (Nov 6, 2026); Hip-Hop Vibe (July 2026).

Six years ago today, on November 6, 2020, Chicago rapper King Von (Dayvon Daquan Bennett) was shot and killed outside the Monaco Hookah Lounge in Atlanta. He was 26 years old. Von had released his debut studio album "Welcome to O'Block" just one week earlier, on October 30, 2020. The shooting followed an altercation between his crew and Quando Rondo's; Von was shot multiple times and died at the hospital later that day. Sources: Wikipedia; NPR (Nov 6, 2020).

Ask most people to name the greatest hip-hop producer ever and "Dr. Dre" is the first name out. But Dre himself gave the crown to somebody else. On the premiere of Listen & Laugh with Ice Cube and Mike Epps, Dre said Larry Smith is the greatest hip-hop producer of all time — explaining how Smith inspired an entire generation but never got the recognition he deserved. Dre also gave Sylvia Robinson her flowers for her impact on hip-hop. Smith co-produced Run-DMC's "Run-D.M.C." (1984) and "King of Rock" (1985) with Russell Simmons and produced Whodini's "Escape" (1984) and "Back in Black" (1986). Ecstasy of Whodini once called him "the Quincy Jones of rap," and DJ Premier put him #1 on his own top-5 producers list. Larry Smith died in 2014.

The King of Pop has been gone since 2009 — but his impersonators are fighting like he's still here. Michael Jackson lookalike Fabio Jackson was filmed leaving the Michael D. Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse on November 5, telling TMZ he's dealing with "harassment" from fellow impersonator Looze Cannon's moderators — "terrorizing me like crazy on the internet." The feud started after Fabio accused Looze Cannon (real name Glen Cannon) of using AI face and voice filters for his impersonation — "not a real face, not a real voice," Fabio called it, and "trash." Looze fired back: "I don't got no AI. This is all me." (He does use a social media filter, per The Shade Room.) One correction to the viral posts: despite the headlines, Fabio has NOT filed a lawsuit. Complex searched Los Angeles Superior Court records and found no complaint under his legal name, Fabio James — and Fabio himself didn't say what legal action h...

The Cybertruck era is ending. The Wall Street Journal reports Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production at its Texas factory by mid-2027 — about four years after the truck's late-2023 launch — freeing up capacity for the Cybercab robotaxi. Elon Musk once called the Cybertruck Tesla's "best product ever." The market never fully agreed: roughly 73,000 were sold in three years, and the truck became a symbol of Musk's right-wing politics as much as a vehicle.

Dr. Dre is not running from AI — he's running toward it. On the premiere episode of Listen & Laugh, the new podcast from Ice Cube and Mike Epps, Dre said he is "extremely excited" about artificial intelligence: "I love it. I love the potential of it." Dre explained that with music and film, AI can use your image and your voice — with your approval — and "you don't even have to be there." He's already using it to make music himself. And he had a message for the critics: the only people mad about the elevation of AI, he said, are people who "aren't that creative." It's the same stance Dre took in his New York Times interview earlier this year, where he called AI a new tool for creativity — like the drum machine before it — and said the only people who see it as a threat are the ones who have trouble creating.
