Jim Nantz is fine.

The 67-year-old sportscaster didn’t actually injure himself demonstrating the so-called “Peanut” punch with CBS broadcast booth partner J.J. Watt — who is 37 and a three-time former NFL defensive player of the year — during the Buffalo Bills-Las Vegas Raiders game on Sunday.

He seems to feel foolish though.

“I learned a lesson,” Nantz said Tuesday on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.” “You got J.J. Watt cradling the ball like this. What am I — I’m going to like knock it out of his hands? Come on, the thing was vacuum sealed into his chest.”

Named after retired cornerback Charles “Peanut” Tillman, the “Peanut punch” has become an effective method for defensive players to cause fumbles. While showing viewers how offensive players should hold the football to counter the maneuver , Watt encouraged Nantz to “give that a good punch.”

“Really?” Nantz asked.

“Hard as you got, brother,” Watt replied.

So Nantz delivered a solid blow to the ball, which didn’t budge in Watt’s arms.

“I did kind of go aggressively here after this ball because J.J. encouraged me to do so,” Nantz told McAfee while watching a clip of the incident.

Back on the broadcast, Nantz immediately winced and grabbed his hand.

“I did not think you were going to go that hard,” Watt laughed. “That was so much harder than I thought you were going to go.”

Nantz clearly was in discomfort, but he chuckled about it as well.

“My wrist is broken,” he told his booth partner. “Like I’m going to knock it out of your hands.”

“Get Jim some ice,” Watt joked as they were going to commercial.

After halftime, Nantz could be seen in the booth with his hand wrapped. That led some people to believe he had seriously injured himself.

“I heard from people you can’t believe,” Nantz told McAfee. “[Bills quarterback] Josh Allen texted me an hour after the game and said, ‘Did you just break your hand? I hear you broke your hand.’ I heard from a former president of the United States, reached out and wanted to know if my hand was broken.”

McAfee and company speculated that the former president was Barack Obama, but Nantz did not reveal his identity.

After the game, Watt joked on X: “CBS Injury Report Week 7 — Jim Nantz: Questionable (Wrist/Hand).”

The NFL joined in the good-natured fun, posting the clip on Instagram and writing, “the peanut punch isn’t for everybody,” along with a laughing emoji.

While Nantz admitted his hand and wrist “did hurt for a while,” he told McAfee that any reports beyond that were “greatly exaggerated.”

“It did sting, I’m not going to kid you,” Nantz said. “But I gave it my best, and as soon as I did it, I regretted it because I felt like everything had been compressed. And I did think I was going to wake up Monday with this thing about triple the size, but I’m fine. I’m not going to be on the injury report this week. I’m going to be good to go. No broken bones.”

SYDNEY Sweeney has brushed off criticism of her controversial sports betting campaign by sharing another previously unseen clip from the advert.

Despite the backlash, the actress is sticking to her guns with another racy glimpse of the shoot.

The 29-year-old took to Instagram to share the footage with the caption: “No BS. Just sports.”

“There are grown men making spreadsheets betting on what colour underwear I’m wearing,” she says, looking doe-eyed into the camera.

She adds: “I mean, I’m flattered?”

Holding two American footballs over her breasts, Sydney finishes with the tagline: “Novig is just sports.”

The Euphoria actress sparked backlash earlier this month after posing naked in the campaign promoting the sports betting app.

Female athletes were among those who criticised the racy images, accusing the campaign of sexualising women’s sports.

The advert features Sydney in a series of revealing poses, using sports equipment to cover parts of her body.

Some images show The Housemaid star straddling a basketball hoop, while others feature her in a locker room wearing nothing but shoulder pads or holding footballs over her breasts.

Team GB sprinter Amy Hunt slammed the campaign during a post-race interview, saying it painted a misleading picture of women’s sports.

Australian Olympic water polo star Tilly Kearns also voiced her disapproval on Instagram.

British sprinter Hannah Williams made her feelings known on social media, arguing that female athletes already have to fight to be taken seriously.

MICHELLE Keegan may have gripped the nation with her new ITV drama The Blame, but there’s one surprising TV appearance that has been doing the rounds on social media again.

It’s not the actress fronting a Netflix mini-series or portraying a soldier in Our Girl, but a forgotten stint on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

Michelle was technically on the now-axed chat show – but as her Coronation Street character, Tina McIntyre.

The soap hilariously did a crossover with Jeremy Kyle’s eponymous show for a special episode back in 2010.

The show tackled family and relationship issues and saw members of the British public work out their drama on air.

And who has more drama than the Platt family?

During the crossover episode, Michelle’s character Tina appears on the show as her boyfriend, David (Jack P. Shepherd) is accusing her of having a relationship with his brother Nick (Ben Price).

In a clip from the episode, which has been unearthed by TikTok users and is now being circulated around the app, the trio are seen at loggerheads.

“Shut up David,” Tina is seen shouting over the stage as the pair go back and forth, with Jeremy getting involved.

Later, Nick and David are seen fighting over Tina as Nick slams: “She doesn’t like him. She doesn’t fancy you, she doesn’t, it’s over!”

“You think you can fly in, Nick, and take a piece of her,” hits back David, as Tina breaks down into tears and he slams her “waterworks”.

A crying Tina then tells Jeremy: “I’m sick of him, he ruins everything. Even the thought of accusing me of sleeping with Nick, it’s not important to me right now.

“And he’s got a cheek to actually question it – you’ve got a cheek David.”

The hilarious crossover, which was to celebrate the 1000th episode of the Jeremy Kyle Show, came in the middle of Michelle’s time on Coronation Street, which she joined in 2008.

As the clip has been circulating around Tiktok, many users on the video streaming app were confused as to whether it was real or for a skit.

One user said: “If I didn’t know this was a special episode with actors, I would’ve thought this was real, it’s well good 👏😂”

“I would not have recognised her…what year is this???,” said a second of Michelle.

A third praised: “Corrie was on another level creating this with JK, it makes it look so more real.”

Michelle was just 23 at the time of filming the scenes.

She eventually left the soap in 2014, as Tina was killed off.

BIG Brother fans may recognise Omar El Mayer’s from another telly show – as it’s not his first rodeo.

The contestant, who is currently taking part on the fly-on-the-wall show, took part on a YouTube series called The Intern, which aired late 2025.

Love Island star Chloe Burrows, Nella Rose, Harry Pinero, and PK Humble featured in the digital comedy series.

It followed twenty contestants claiming to be superfans of Nella and fight to win a real internship working with her.

But some participants were hidden clout-chasers trying to fake their fandom to win a £3,000 cash prize instead of the job.

Omar was a participant on the online series and revealed himself to be a “clout chaser”.

Big Brother house in bust-up over shocking comment that leaves newbie in tears

He admitted he was only there for the money and fired by the hosts during the elimination process.

Things have continued to spiral on Big Brother, with a series of rows and housemates butting heads.

In a recent explosive clash, Omar and Yasmin went head-to-head as she insisted he was the “fun police“.

The first row kicked off when Omar clashed with Rob after he was seen dancing barefoot across the kitchen table.

A fuming Omar loudly exclaimed: “Get off the table – we eat on it. Get off the table, please.”

Rob continued to dance before being shouted at once more by Omar.

Annoyed at Rob, he remarked to Rochelle: “This is mad – I put my bread on that table yesterday. And he’s got his feet on it. It’s horrible.” 

A back and forth soon ensued with Omar saying: Yesterday I put my toast on that table and ate it off the table.

“That means if I didn’t see you do that, today I would have put toast on top of your feet.”

Rochelle later remarked that Rob is left upset by Omar’s comment before Omar raged: “I don’t care if he is sensitive, bro and he needs to f***ing deal with it, bro.”

But Rob was not his only target with Yasmin also coming under fire from Omar as he took aim at her loudness.

He said to her: “You need to stop with the obnoxiously loud songs.”

As Yasmin hits back and suggested he was against “people having fun,” she soon got more riled up and said: “Let your hair down. Have a laugh. It’s alright.

“F***ing hell. I’m going to do what the f*** I please.

“Stop telling me what to do. You keep telling me what to do and I don’t like it.”
