In 2024, our favorite show featuring powerful witchy women is Agatha All Along on Disney+. But in the ’90s and early ’00s, the Halliwell sisters on the WB’s Charmed were the trend-setting witches of the moment. For eight seasons, they cast spells, fought demons, and dressed up in all kinds of different cosplay. (Remember when they were mermaids? And superheroes?) Well, a fan of Charmed and Agatha on Twitter by the name of OBCrack has created a fan edit of the Agatha All Along credits. This one is done in the same retro style as the legendary Charmed Ones from back in the day. You can watch it right here:

This fan trailer has all the Charmed opening credits hallmarks. Most notably, the Love Spit Love cover of The Smiths’ “How Soon Is Now” which serves as the theme song. Interestingly, they chose to list the character names over the actor’s names. So it says “Agatha Harkness” instead of “Kathryn Hahn,” Lilia instead of Patti Lupone, etc. Although they probably did that for the joke of Joe Locke’s character credited as Teen, William Kaplan, and Billy Maximoff. Heck, they could have credited him as Wiccan too. But he hasn’t used his Marvel Comics superhero name on the series yet.
Now that we’ve had a Charmed edit for Agatha All Along, we’re hoping for another mash-up. Here’s hoping a fan out there does one inspired by American Horror Story: Coven. In some ways, the 2013 version of FX’s anthology series is the opposite of the ’90s-style network style of Charmed. But Agatha All Along owes as much to those witches of Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies as they do to other TV witches. We’d say Bewitched, but WandaVision pretty much covered that one. But when it comes to TV pop culture witches, the list for inspiration is long.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers only officially joined the Pittsburgh Steelers shortly before their three-day mandatory minicamp in June and, thus, is still learning about his new teammates in the early days of training camp. Rodgers is also using summer practices as a way to introduce himself to members of the Steelers' defense. During a Wednesday appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," Steelers star pass-rusher T.J. Watt detailed what it's been like to go against a Rodgers-led offense on the practice field. "Frustrating, because he talks a lot of smack," Watt said about Rodgers, as shared by Eva Geitheim of Sports Illustrated. "He really does. A lot of the no-look passes are things that we're getting used to. I like to bat down a lot of passes at the line of scrimmage. He's able to manipulate the defense good, so that's been very frustrating. Hopefully, one day we get the better of him." Steelers reporter Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently gushed over the arm talent Rodgers flashed during his first handful of training camp practices with the club. This past Tuesday, Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Arthur Smith mentioned that Rodgers' "release and how he generates power" is still "unbelievable" even though the future Hall of Famer will turn 42 years old this coming December. Multiple injury issues slowed Rodgers last fall when he was with the New York Jets. Current Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams was Rodgers' teammate last season and is convinced the veteran signal-caller can still be among the top half of the quarterbacks in the NFL if he's able to stay healthy through a grueling campaign. "His cadence is deadly," longtime Steelers defensive lineman and team captain Cameron Heyward added about Rodgers during the show segment. "The thing he does best is he knows how to abuse the play clock. It's ridiculous, but it's gonna make us better." It remains to be seen if Rodgers will take even a handful of snaps in Pittsburgh's preseason opener at the Jacksonville Jaguars on Aug. 9. History shows he could give Steelers fans a highlight-reel moment or two if he participates in that exhibition contest.
The LA Clippers are putting the final touches on a roster that looks to be a great one, on paper. They've had a busy offseason when many expected them to mostly stand pat, adding Chris Paul, Brook Lopez, and Bradley Beal in free agency while trading Norman Powell away in a three-team deal that netted them John Collins. To make the Bradley Beal move, the Clippers had to waive Jordan Miller, a young prospect they have a lot of belief in. He stayed with the team for the NBA Summer League, made the All-Summer League First Team, but still couldn't find any other opportunities, so it was believed the Clippers could bring him back in some capacity. The Clippers announced on Tuesday that they re-signed Jordan Miller, bringing the former Miami Hurricane back on a two-way contract. They had three two-way players signed already, so they also announced who they waived. "The LA Clippers have signed Jordan Miller to a two-way contract," they announced. "In a corresponding move, the Clippers have waived Patrick Baldwin Jr." Miller averaged 4.1 PPG in his 37 appearances for the Clippers last season, and a staggering 24.5 PPG in his infrequent appearances in the G-League. He was the 48th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and has made a lasting impression on the organization in his time. Baldwin, a former first-round pick by the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Draft, wasn't signed to his two-way contract by the Clippers until March, and he only appeared in two games for them. He was traded after his rookie season for Chris Paul, spent a year and a half with the Wizards, then who traded to the San Antonio Spurs in a four-team deal last year before being waived.
With things moving quickly at the trade deadline, a potential target for the Chicago Cubs has come off the board. The Cubs have done a nice job so far of improving their pitching staff, but there have been some notable relievers who have moved so far. While Chicago has already added Andrew Kittredge, he is more of a middle reliever than a potential eighth or ninth inning pitcher. Adding an impact arm like Jhoan Duran or Ryan Helsley would have been ideal yesterday, but they have also now reportedly missed out on David Bednar. According to Jeff Passan, the talented right-hander from the Pittsburgh Pirates is going to be heading to the New York Yankees. After Duran and Helsley came off the board, Bednar was the next best option, and it was the Yankees who won the bidding war. So far this year, he has totaled a 2.37 ERA and 17 saves in 42 appearances. Due to the struggles of the Pirates, there haven’t been a ton of save opportunities for Bednar, but he has no doubt been one of the best closers in baseball this campaign. This would have been the type of impact addition that many are expecting Chicago to make before the deadline. However, with the former All-Star off the board, there aren’t many closers left that can help the Cubs. With that being said, it will be interesting to see if Chicago looks to get more in the starting pitcher market to improve the team in that area, rather than the bullpen.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave had a rough go last season, his second in the NFL after being drafted 42nd overall in 2023. In addition to being hampered by health issues, long before season’s end he had been clearly superseded by fellow sophomore Tucker Kraft. That’s not going to change in 2025, but Musgrave looks to be off on the right foot in training camp as he hopes for his first season at near full health. Musgrave shows strong hands, route-running in practice No. 7 of Green Bay Packers camp Musgrave managed to play 11 games as a rookie and commanded a superior target share over Kraft, averaging more than four per contest to the latter’s 2.4. He finished the season with 34 catches for 352 yards and was named a breakout candidate ahead of year two. Injuries did not let that happen. Barely involved in the passing game, per Pro Football Focus he took only 74 offensive snaps and accumulated 45 receiving yards. Kraft, meanwhile, taken 78th that same draft, emerged as a go-to target for quarterback Jordan Love. On run plays, the offense turned to him exclusively for blocking duties. Kraft has also enjoyed a massive availability advantage. Through two seasons, he has appeared in every game. Musgrave may be a clearcut secondary option, but he can still do a lot more for this offense. Team reporter and Packers.com editor Mike Spofford liked what he saw from him in Thursday’s practice, the seventh of training camp leading up to Family Night on August 2. “I thought today we saw the most productive practice from Luke Musgrave that he’s had so far in camp. Third-year tight end, lot of talent, really athletic. Has unfortunately dealt with a lot of injuries his first two seasons. But today he made a couple of catches on downfield throws from Jordan Love. The first one was an amazing throw that was fit in right by the boundary between Carrington Valentine, Xavier McKinney. Musgrave makes a nice catch there. He makes a sliding catch on another one, a back-foot throw. … And almost hauls in a desperation throw by Love to the end zone at the end of two-minute [drill].” Spofford said Musgrave also connected with backup Malik Willis while drilling with the second unit during team periods. He did note that, despite a strong showing, Musgrave did not check all the boxes. Particularly if he’s limited to passing situations, as he was last year, he’ll have to shore up his protection skills. “Not a perfect practice for him,” Spofford said. “I saw one rep where he got matched up unfortunately against Rashan Gary in pass protection. Love had to scramble out of the pocket. So not a perfect day, but Luke Musgrave was a force on that field.”
