The world of professional wrestling is paradoxical. Storylines are intricately plotted by creative writers, refined by the agents and the wrestlers the day of the match, and performed live in front of worldwide audiences to evoke drama and emotion. It's scripted: it's "fake." Yet, more often than not, it is the real-life backstage machinations, the behind-the-scenes tales of drama and deceit, of pettiness between allies and adversaries, that feel as though they were actually penned by Hollywood's finest scriptwriters.David Sahadi's Backstage Pass is a firsthand account of what occurs beyond the squared circle - stories that are often more compelling and dramatic than anything that occurs on TV or inside a ring. These never-before-told stories are glorious, nefarious, and at times truly unbelievable: five-star mega-bouts between the powers that rule, the leaders and decision-makers who are often in agreement (but mostly at odds), and the superstars themselves.This book is a tale of defiance, decadence, and denial - and you do not have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.

Hawk Hill Pictures, in partnership with A Channel of Peace, announces the upcoming release of the feature film "The Hail Mary," a heartfelt comedy-drama written and directed by veteran actor and filmmaker Daniel Roebuck ("Matlock," "The Fugitive"). The film will premiere Feb. 21 in The Lehigh Valley, Penn., where it was filmed, ahead of a broader national rollout on Feb. 27.When football season is officially wrapped, "The Hail Mary" is poised to deliver a new kind of comeback story rooted in redemption, faith and community. Set within a Catholic school environment, the film follows a disillusioned man who unexpectedly rediscovers purpose, family and belief in the most unlikely of ways.Roebuck, who also stars in the lead role, credits his Catholic school upbringing and the religious sisters who taught him as major influences on the story."I had such a positive experience growing up in Catholic schools and in the church, and I've always wanted to tell a story that reflects that; something people could relate to, with a sense of humor," says Roebuck. "We even used my old school as the rival team's location in the film, which made it all the more personal."In "The Hail Mary," Roebuck portrays Jake Bauer, a bitter and isolated loner whose life is upended when he is reluctantly recruited to coach a struggling Catholic school football team. The effort is spearheaded by the determined and sharp-witted Sister Kathy, played by Marsha Dietlein Bennett ("Newlyweds," "Little Children"). What begins as an unwanted obligation evolves into a journey of service, healing and unexpected community."This is a story about second chances," adds Roebuck. "Not just for one man, but for anyone who's ever needed a reminder that grace doesn't give up."The film features an ensemble cast that includes Timothy E. Goodwin ("Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty"), Bret Anthony ("Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Three's Company'"), Duane Whitaker ("Pulp Fiction"), Tyler Mane ("X-Men") and Joe Estevez ("Eyes Upon Waking"). Following its Lehigh Valley premiere, "The Hail Mary" will be released nationally on Feb. 27 through Hawk Hill Pictures using a multi-tiered distribution strategy that includes theatrical screenings in select cities, licensed church screenings nationwide, and school and community engagements with curated discussion materials."We are excited for not only faith audiences to see the film, but mainstream audiences as well," said Jen Katzfey, President of Hawk Hill Pictures. "This film doesn't just entertain, it opens doors for meaningful conversations about forgiveness, mentorship and healing."Theaters, churches, schools and community organizations interested in hosting a screening of "The Hail Mary" can submit a request here through the Hawk Hill Pictures website. Discussion guides will be available to support group engagement.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrEcVI36qk8 This message was sent by Premiere Networks, Inc. 15260 Ventura Blvd. Sherman Oaks, CA 91403.

Young dancer Nia Sioux was only nine years old when she stepped into stardom as one of the original cast members of Lifetime's reality TV show Dance Moms. Nia learned new choreography week after week and competed against dancers from across the country as well as at her own studio. Perhaps her greatest obstacle was suffering through her dance teacher's ranking of the girls against each other in her infamous pyramid, where Nia spent the majority of her time on the bottom-all in front of an audience of millions.But there was much that viewers didn't see. How her experiences in the studio went far beyond what made it into the show. How she was ostracized for not fitting into an aesthetic that wasn't designed for girls like her. How her friendships and her mental health crumbled under the strain of the show. How she lost control of her story and her voice.But don't be fooled-this is a story about resilience. Nia is not looking for pity, sympathy, or validation as she reflects on her experiences. Instead, she is choosing to use her story as a celebration of triumph. Nia finally gets to tell her story in her own way and in her own words. In this captivating memoir, Nia reclaims both the spotlight and her narrative.In addition to going behind the scenes of the seven seasons of Dance Moms, she shows how she fought against the negative perceptions that dominated her tween and teen years and emerged as a confident young woman secure in her talents and her direction.

"Despite barriers and constant naysayers, assumptions and criticisms, only you know who you are inside and out," Nia says. "And you have the power to create your own narrative, your own level of success."

He also puts the dynasty in proper context, tracing the breathtaking rise of the program, the sudden and inglorious fall, and the scandal that left a program in ruins and precipitated the drastic changes that led to the current era of college football.

The incredible, untold true story of the 1952 Dallas Texans-the most dysfunctional team in the craziest season in NFL history.Rattlesnakes on the practice field, barroom brawls between teammates, bounced checks, paternity suits, house bombings by the Ku Klux Klan, stadium fields covered in circus-elephant dung, one-legged trainers, humiliating defeats, miraculous wins, All-Pro quarterbacks getting drunk at halftime, strip poker with groupies, and even a future Hall of Fame coach stealing a cab.Nearly lost to history, this singular season in the most football-mad region of the world is a kaleidoscope of every larger-than-life, fictionalized Texas football folktale ever written or filmed, with one incredible twist: it's all true. Over a fascinating, ten-month rollercoaster ride in 1952, in the waning Wild West days of the NFL, before television turned the game into a corporation, the forgotten Dallas Texans would go down in history as one of the worst (and, wildest) teams of all time and the last NFL team to fail. But not before defying the Jim Crow South, pulling off a Thanksgiving Day miracle against George Halas's famed Chicago Bears and then celebrating with an even more infamous bender that would make Jimmy Johnson's Dallas Cowboys blush. A year later, the NFL buried all traces of the most loveable, dysfunctional, entertaining team in history by secretly rebranding the train wreck Texans as the wholesome, all-American Baltimore Colts, the team that would go on to save pro football.A Big Mess in Texas tells the Texans' tale with all the humor, drama, game action, colorful characters, villains, world-class athletes, civil rights trailblazers, and incredible plot twists of that legendary season.

A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars of the NFL's greatest dynasty, the 2001-2018 New England PatriotsThere can be doubt, the greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars: Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. That is indisputable. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the game forever and provide a two-decade-long winning culture not likely to ever be repeated. In those twenty years they helped New England to nine Super Bowls, winning six. But who is/was most responsible? The greatest coach/GM in NFL history? The greatest quarterback (perhaps, greatest player regardless of position) in NFL history? New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers takes the deepest dive yet into a debate that rages to this day in his new book, BRADY vs. BELICHICK: The Dynasty Debate (St. Martin's Press, On Sale September 16, 2025, $31.00).What was the nature of their amazing relationship? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and master tactician? Or were they equals? In this fascinating book, veteran NFL insider Gary Myers will draw on the incredible access he has to both subjects as well as scores of players, coaches and management officials. Myers has new interviews with Belichick, Devon McCourty, Rodney Harrison, Julian Edelman, Joe Montana, Tom Brady Sr., and scores more. There is also new material from coaching greats Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, Tony Dungy, and former Pats assistant coaches Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel, and executives like Ernie Accorsi and Bill Polian.One of the more revealing and compelling chapters in the book is about New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, whose sideline hit on then star New England quarterback Drew Bledsoe in 2001 elevated Tom Brady to starting quarterback.and the rest is history. To this day, many fans and haters of New England's success blame Lewis' hit on starting the Patriots dynasty, and Lewis, in the book, doesn't hide his bitter feelings about being tagged with that.In BRADY vs. BELICHICK, Myers goes well into the numbers, analyzing the psychology and sociology of this partnership using his unique perspective to illuminate the greatest duo that ever graced the sport. And who is the most responsible? There is a surprise ending as the reader will discover.
