Lee Greenwood has written a letter to Maren Morris asking her to reconsider her decision to quit country music. He wrote, “To suggest that country music is ‘too patriotic’ is to not understand country music at all. It’s in our very name: Country music. Our music is written for love of our country, our heart for America. It’s not that politics has infiltrated country music, it’s quite the opposite — music ends up reflecting the very conversations happening across the country today.”

There’s a conspiracy theory that Eminem died in a car crash in 2006 and was replaced by a clone.  Evidence includes the fact that his face has changed and he doesn’t rap or dress the way he used to.  We all change as we get older…

Tom Brady thinks NFL football as we know it will eventually turn into flag football over time because the refs are calling too many penalties. He says, quote, “You throw a 15-yard flag for something that, you know, 20 years ago maybe wouldn’t have had a flag.  That affects the game in a big way.” Quote, “There’s so many people that want it less and less physical, it’s more like flag football, which is going to be in the Olympics in 2028.  Maybe football goes to flag football over a period of time.”

NBC says prosecutors are planning to recharge Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the 2021 shooting on the set of his movie, “Rust.” The forthcoming charges will be brought before a grand jury next month. Alec insists that he did not pull the trigger of the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Sources say a possible plea deal may be in the works.

Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning may be the next long-term co-hosts for the CMA Awards.  Luke told “Good Morning America” they did such a good job last year that they were asked to come back “while walking off stage.”

The List for Monday, November 25th 2024

Welcome to The List,

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.

Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.

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

There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

-----

"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.)

-----

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history.  They have 19 wins each.
