Kevin Durant will not be playing on an expiring contract in his first season in Houston.

Donald Trump may not have appeared in the cold open this week, but he still managed to hijack Saturday Night Live — through James Austin Johnson’s reliably unhinged impression. During the October 18 episode hosted (and musically led) by Sabrina Carpenter, Johnson’s Trump made a surprise appearance on “Snack Homiez,” a fake podcast hosted by Carpenter, Chloe Fineman, Jane Wickline, and Veronika Slowikowska. The setup was simple: a group of twenty-somethings asking the former president about junk food. The outcome, of course, was anything but. When the hosts asked what he thought about the candy Airheads, Trump launched into a…

This month, I picked up a concerned parent from the waiting room. I walked her to my office and asked how I could help. “My 10-year-old son can’t focus on anything. I think it’s because of the video games. He won’t read because he says it’s boring, he won’t even play a board game with me. He keeps getting in trouble at school for playing games on his Chromebook in class. The only time he sits still is when he’s playing video games.” This is a common concern for parents.

Lily Allen is getting candid about how her “eating problems” spiraled during her breakup with Stranger Things star David Harbour. In a new interview with British Vogue, the 40-year-old pop star reflected on the difficult period following their February split after four years of marriage. She admitted she had trouble sleeping and eating at the time, saying, “I’ve had real problems with my food over the past few years.

What is there left to say about the 0-6 Jets?  Gang Green and their travel souvenir of 82 total yards of offense return from London after last week’s dreadful 13-11 loss to the Broncos.  I have always been high on Justin Fields because of his rushing abilities. Now after watching a display of hesitant decision-making, a frozen pocket presence, missed open reads and 45 (!) passing yards, it’s time to admit that the offense…
