Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.

He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)
