In this episode of NFL Players: Second Acts, Peanut and Roman sit down with Hall of Famer Andre Reed, one of the most reliable receivers of the Buffalo Bills’ Super Bowl era. Reed opens up about his path from Division II prospect to becoming one of the greatest wideouts in NFL history. He reflects on the emotional highs and lows of four straight Super Bowl losses, and his zone game in the epic 32-point comeback against the Houston Oilers. Reed also talks about his long road to the Hall of Fame and the chills he still gets remembering that call. Beyond football, he shares how he’s paying it forward — from his work as a Boys & Girls Club ambassador and literacy advocate to launching his nutrition company Cellev8 and serving as commissioner of a new arena football league. With stories of perseverance, purpose, and positivity, this conversation shows why Andre Reed’s second act is just as impactful as his first. The NFL Players: Second Acts podcast is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeart Radio. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The STEAM Box podcast is kicking off a brand-new adventure with the Boys & Girls Club of Pawtucket! In this first episode together, we're getting to know each other while practicing our interviewing skills and diving into what makes the BGC such an important part of their lives.From friendships and community to big conversations about justice issues like housing, these young voices show us what they care about and why it matters. And this is just the beginning, stick around as we gear up for next week's special guest, DJ Carl Byrd from the Codex Prime Podcast.

Let's talk about the elephant on the reformer: has Pilates turned into a Mean Girls club? In this episode, the viral TikTok trend #MeanGirlsPilates (yes, you're thinking of the right movie) shows us that the fitness world is buzzing with Barbie-pink sets, sharp side-eyes, and performative “you can't sit with us” energy. In this episode, we react in real time to the trend, calling out toxic studio culture, exclusion masked as empowerment, and the ways performative wellness can make movement feel like a members-only club.   But don't worry, it's not all doomscrolling. We bring it back to what matters: showing up for yourself, building true community, and remembering that movement should be a celebration of your strength, not a performance. If you've ever walked into a workout and wondered if you belonged, this one's for you.   Some key takeaways from this episode include: Being powerful means showing up as you are - even if you're not wearing the matching set. Exclusive vibes don't build strength. Community does. If your workout makes you feel small, it's time to find a new room.

Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has been everywhere these past few days and the headlines prove it. If you caught any Baltimore Ravens coverage, you could not have missed the viral story of the 23-time Olympic gold medalist teaching Ravens players how to swim. It all started when Marlon Humphrey and several teammates posted a lighthearted plea on Instagram asking for a private Phelps swim clinic. To everyone's surprise, including Humphrey's, the Greatest of All Time not only responded but showed up in person at the Ravens' training camp, turning Loyola University's aquatic center into a scene straight out of a sports movie. Phelps, not above showing a little vulnerability, spoke openly to both the team and to Today show's Craig Melvin about his own childhood fears of water. He also brought in kids from the Boys and Girls Club to join the session, all in support of water safety and the work his Michael Phelps Foundation does. The event came with a meaningful $100,000 donation to the Foundation from the Ravens. According to Today and AOL, Phelps used the spotlight to promote drowning prevention—a mission that, in his words, can save lives and change communities.Business-wise, Phelps' name just popped in major headlines thanks to the meteoric rise of Unrivaled, the women's 3-on-3 basketball league. ESPN reports and Serena Williams herself promote that Unrivaled recently closed a major Series B financing round, launching the league to a whopping $340 million valuation. Phelps is a high-profile investor, which puts him squarely at the center of women's professional sports innovation—an athlete leveraging his influence in ventures well outside the swimming pool. Unrivaled doubled first-season revenue expectations and is moving swiftly on expansion and larger venues, with investors from across the sports world backing its player-centric, equity-minded business.In terms of global appearances, there's buzz building around the annual Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York City in late September. As of now, there are rumors swirling in organizer circles that Phelps could make an appearance, though as of this week, neither public schedules nor official press releases confirm his participation.Social media, naturally, has lit up with images and videos of Phelps grinning pool-side with the Ravens, while sports media—from clicky gossip columns to ESPN ticker crawls—spotlights his continued role as an advocate, investor, and motivational force. A few international sites murmured about him visiting the Delhi Capitals IPL cricket camp for a quick cameo and pep talk, but details remain sketchy and unconfirmed by Phelps' reps as of today.No scandals or dramatic controversies, just a wave of positive press, charitable impact, and one of the most decorated Olympians proving he's as relevant in business boardrooms as he is beside the pool. If his moves with Unrivaled are any indication, Michael Phelps' post-swimming biography is just hitting its next chapter.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Bun B makes it official as co-host of Unglossy, and we kick things off with a legend: Buffalo Bills icon and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Andre Reed. From a small-town kid in Allentown, Pennsylvania to four straight Super Bowl appearances and a gold jacket in Canton, Reed's story is one of grit, growth, and giving back.In this first part of our two-part conversation, Andre takes us through the real playbook behind his success—relationships, mentorship, and showing up when nobody's watching. He reflects on the wisdom of his Hall of Fame coach Marv Levy (who just turned 100), weighs in on Micah Parsons' contract standoff and the high-stakes “game within the game” of NFL negotiations, and breaks down how rule changes like the kickoff shift and the tush push have reshaped football forever.We dive into what it was like lining up against Deion Sanders, Rod Woodson, and Darrell Green, the brutal six-week training camps of the '80s, and the difference between recovering from injuries then versus now. Beyond the field, Andre shares the roots of his purpose—his years as a Boys & Girls Club kid, the founding of the Andre Reed Foundation, and the legacy he's building with a park, a street, and a stadium all carrying his name back home.Four straight Super Bowls, seven Pro Bowls, and zero regrets—because whether or not the scoreboard went his way, the world was watching.

Top Stories for August 12th Publish Date: August 12th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, August 12th and Happy Birthday to Pete Sampras I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia Does GCPS make the grade? Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG (07.14.22 KIA MOG) STORY 1: Does GCPS make the grade? “Get a good education.” We’ve all heard it a million times, right? But what does that even mean anymore? And how’s Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holding up under the weight of that promise? Well, it’s complicated—like, really complicated. COVID flipped everything upside down. Kids learning on screens, parents suddenly hyper-aware of what’s being taught, teachers scrambling to adapt. It wasn’t pretty. And now? GCPS is still untangling the mess: learning loss, absenteeism, behavior issues. But they’re trying. Social workers, behavioral coaches, literacy plans—it’s all part of their “Blueprint for the Future.” Progress? Sure. Perfection? Not even close. Education’s messy. Always has been. Always will be. STORY 2: Central Gwinnett grad to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo Tawnecia Rush has been wearing hearing aids since she was 9. Conversations? She’s got them down—sharp focus, expert lip reading, and the occasional “Pardon?” when she needs something repeated. But on the basketball court? It’s like a whole different language—fluid, instinctive, no barriers. Growing up in Lawrenceville, she honed her skills playing with her dad and brothers at the Boys & Girls Club, eventually suiting up for Central Gwinnett High. Now, two decades later, she’s earned a spot on the USA Deaf Women’s Basketball team, heading to Tokyo for the Deaflympics this November. “This is huge,” Rush said. “A chance to compete against the best, no limits, no excuses.” Her drive didn’t stop on the court. After two years at Gallaudet University, immersed in deaf culture and basketball, she transferred to Kennesaw State to finish her marketing degree. STORY 3: Lanier Education Foundation awards $20K to Cluster schools, funds two scholarships The Lanier Education Foundation just handed out $20,000 to the schools in the Lanier Cluster—split evenly, of course—and also funded the Lanier Leadership Conference and the Cluster’s multilingual programs. Oh, and two Lanier High grads, Kori Joseph (now at Georgia College & State) and Gabryelle Walker (Kennesaw State), each snagged a $1,000 “Make A Difference” Scholarship. It’s a little financial boost for students heading to college, trade school, or wherever their next chapter takes them. The Lanier Cluster includes Lanier High, Lanier Middle, and three elementary schools: Sugar Hill, Sycamore, and White Oak. Want to help? Visit laniereducationfoundation.org. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 5 STORY 4: Man dead after shooting at Snellville area home Gwinnett County Police are digging into a deadly shooting that went down Friday night in unincorporated Snellville, leaving one man dead. It happened around 7 p.m. on the 3900 block of Lee Road. A call came in about a dispute—then gunfire. When officers arrived, they found a man with gunshot wounds and tried to help. He was rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it. One person was detained at the scene and is being questioned. Police say it’s a homicide investigation, but the motive? Still unclear. The victim’s name hasn’t been released yet—next of kin need to be notified first. If you know anything, call Gwinnett detectives at 770-513-5300. Prefer to stay anonymous? Hit up Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. There’s even a cash reward for tips that lead to an arrest. STORY 5: Lawrenceville mourning death of former City Manager Bob Baroni Lawrenceville is mourning the loss of Bob Baroni, the city’s first-ever manager and a man who dedicated more than four decades to shaping the town he loved. Baroni, 80, passed away Tuesday. Baroni wore many hats—parks and rec director, city clerk, and finally city manager. He oversaw projects like the construction of City Hall and was known for his steady leadership and fiscal smarts. Even after retiring in 2015, he stayed on as a consultant to help the city transition. “We’ve built a family here,” Baroni said at the time. His funeral was held Saturday at Tim Stewart Funeral Home in Loganville. He was laid to rest at Oconee Memorial Park in Watkinsville. Break: STORY 6: Gwinnett Sheriff's Office looking at expanding county jail The Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office is eyeing a big change—expanding the jail with a new tower. Why? Well, the current setup is showing its age, and the inmate population has jumped 35% since 2021. That’s a lot of strain on a facility that’s been around since 1991. Chief Deputy Cleo Atwater told the county’s budget review committee on Wednesday that it’s time to secure funding for this project. The newer Wimbley Tower, built in 2006, has seen updates—control boards, cameras, even door indicator lights—but the older building? It’s stuck in the past. Reinforced doors with security flaps? Not possible. And with 2,400 inmates now (up from 1,800), plus the need for better mental health and medical care spaces, the pressure’s on. Atwater says they’re committed to making this happen by 2026. STORY 7: 'Great bargains' —Kidsignments is back this week at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds The Kidsignments sale is back at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds this week, running through Saturday—and if you’ve got kids, you need to check it out. Organizer Jeri Lynn gets it: “Times are tough, and we’re thrilled to help parents stretch their dollars. Over 1,000 families are participating, so the selection is going to be amazing—everything from baby gear to teen clothes, toys, bikes, you name it.” It’s all gently used, high-quality stuff—perfect for sustainable parenting without breaking the bank.

A legal loophole allowed Brandon Mitchell to bring home a baby boy via surrogacy, despite the fact that he was convicted of child sex abuse in 2016. Mitchell drew public outrage after posting a disturbing video of the baby on social media, with many calling for Pennsylvania laws to be changed – the state has strict oversight on adoption but different rules for surrogacy. Reduxx reports: “While Pennsylvania's adoption law does prohibits s*x offenders from adopting or fostering children, gestational surrogacy circumvents any such laws through pre-birth parentage orders.” York County DA Tim Barker says the loophole is a critical issue and urged lawmakers to protect kids with new legislation. Mitchell's attorney, Peter Kratsa, defended his client by saying Mitchell completed his sentence, counseling, and that there is no evidence he has reoffended.

07/10/25: Joel Heitkamp is joined by Robin Nelson, the CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of the Red River Valley. Joel asks Robin about how the federal funding freeze is impacting after-school programs in North Dakota. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget withheld $6.8 billion in federal education grants for the upcoming school year for further review. The total withheld for North Dakota is estimated to be about $25.4 million, based on what the state received in 2024, according to the state Department of Public Instruction. That represents about 15% of what the state receives annually in K-12 funding from the U.S. Department of Education, according to the Learning Policy Institute.

Chairman John L. Lowery of the Lumbee Tribe discusses efforts to secure federal recognition for his people in North Carolina. Lowery said he's been meeting with other tribes as the Lumbees seek federal recognition through an act of Congress. He has also made frequent visits to Washington, D.C., and said he was going to attend a meeting at the White House. " By the way, we have a lot of support throughout Indian Country," Lowery said during his State of the Tribe Address on June 30, 2025. Lowery thanked Sen. Thom Tillis (R-North Carolina) for introducing S.521, the Lumbee Fairness Act. He said the Republican lawmaker's decision to retire from the U.S. Senate won't have an effect on the legislation. " It will not have any kind of negative impact on our bill moving forward," Lowery said at the Lumbee Boys and Girls Club in Pembroke. "Matter of fact, Senator Tillis texted me last night and said, by the way, we just add another co-sponsor." The Lumbees are recognized by the state of North Carolina. They have been unable to secure federal recognition from the U.S. government amid long-standing questions about their legitimacy.  "We pretty much have North Carolina on lock," Lowery said. "We're good there, but outside of North Carolina, we need your support. So ask your friends, your family and colleagues to call their congressman and their senators. Tell them it's time to take action on the Long Fairness Act and to become a co-sponsor of our bill." Lowery said his meeting at the White House was taking place on July 1, 2025.
