The dean of NFL referees has died.

Jim Tunney, who worked some of the most memorable games in NFL history over the course of his 31-year career, died Thursday at his home in Pebble Beach. He was 95.

Tunney got his start as a field judge in 1960 and over the decades he worked games so singular that they garnered their own nicknames: The Ice Bowl was the 1967 NFL Championship between Dallas and Green Bay, so called because the temperature was about −15 °F with an average wind chill around −48 °F; The Catch, the 1981 NFC Championship game in which San Francisco beat Dallas by one point got its name after Dwight Clark made a leaping catch at the back of the end zone on a pass from Joe Montana; and then there was The Fog Bowl, a playoff matchup between Philadelphia and Chicago in 1988 where the fog was so thick that players could...

The Big Brother drama is neverending, especially regarding the disaster that was All-Stars 2. As fans recall, plenty of rumors surrounding a certain group of houseguests pregaming ran wild while season 22 aired on CBS.

CBS selected Janelle and Nicole to be a part of the Big Brother 22 cast during the summer of 2020. It was a milestone season for the reality competition series, so All-Stars was in order.

For the unfortunately uninitiated of you, gather ’round as I spin a yarn about the original intra-network “field day” competition that aired on ABC during the 1970s and ’80s, pitting the Alphabet network against CBS and NBC and… well, that was it, kids. PBS and the...

God love it, there was no decade quite like the '70s, particularly when it comes to mining pop culture gold (or perhaps cubic zarconium). Case in point, this clip from the kitsch classic "Battle of the Network Stars" from 1976. Watch as NBC team captain Robert Conrad, of "Wild Wild West" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep" fame goes ballistic over what he views as an unfair call by the officials, challenging seemingly-geeky ABC team captain Gabriel Kaplan, of "Welcome Back Kotter," to a race to settle the score.
