MON SIX

In a warm-up for his role in the upcoming Winter Olympics, Snoop Dogg was given a microphone during the second half of the NBA game between the Golden State Warriors and the Clippers on Monday night at the Intuit Dome.

Can't wait for those Olympics! Snoop hilariously sizzled when Warriors coach Steve Kerr stormed the court in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' 103-102 victory.

"The Arizona Wildcat done came out of him. Look at him!"Snoop said, alluding to Kerr's college team. "Aw, Rawwwr, rawwwr, rawwwr!"

Kerr was hit with two technical fouls in less than a minute. He nearly got one with 8:44 to play when Warriors guard Stephen Curry made a shot that appeared to be a continuation after a foul, but the officials nullified the basket.

Less than a minute later, Kerr found a new level of vehemence after the Clippers' John Collins wasn't called for goaltending on a shot by Gary Payton II. Thefour-time NBA championship coachflew into a rage, aggressively gesturing at officials and screaming.

ok.. it was worth having Snoop on the broadcast just to hear him call this Steve Kerr crash out 🤣🤣🤣pic.twitter.com/FJzXxqnal9

Kerr picked up the two technicals — his first in nearly four seasons — and was held back by Payton and assistant coaches before exiting to the locker room.

Snoop Dogg, who had joined regular Peacock/NBC announcers Reggie Miller and Terry Gannon for the second half, rose to the occasion, his commentary keeping pace with Kerr's antics.

"Oh, Steve gonna get thrown out! Get him out of there. Get him out of there! Back him up!" Snoop barked.

All Miller and Gannon could do was laugh as Snoop continued, referencing the location of the Intuit Dome and Kerr's Southern California ties: "Steve back in Inglewood right now. Inglewooood!!! Get him, Steve! You in Inglewood, Steve!"

Snoop will join NBC Olympics host Mike Tirico in Italy in February, riffing on stories that unfold at the Winter Gamesthe way he didat the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics. The NBA game was an indication he'll again be up to the task.

"We are excited to have Snoop bring his unique energy and passion to our NBA coverage," NBC Sports executive producer Sam Floodsaid in a statement. "It will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch Snoop, Reggie and Terry talk hoops with a side order of fun."

Snoop said in the release that his debut as an NBA game broadcaster "is a dream come true for me. I can't wait to bring a fresh vibe to the analysis."

For the record, official Brian Forteacknowledged after the gamethat goaltending should have been called against Collins. Currytold reportersthat he appreciated his coach's passion.

"Two crazy calls in a row that you feel like can dictate the momentum of the game, it doesn't mean a win or a loss, it just dictates the momentum," Curry said. "I love that fired up Steve, for sure. Somebody had to do it."

Visiting Los Angeles has been emotional for Kerr since the Pacific Palisades wildfire a year agodestroyed his childhood home, which his family bought in 1969. His mother, 90-year-old Ann Kerr, still lived in the house, located near Rivas Canyon, and was evacuated safely.

The 32-team NFL field that entered the 2025 regular season has narrowed to14 playoff teamsto begin the wild-card round. They're not all built the same. Some enter with grizzled playoff veteran quarterbacks, while a few others are relying on second-year gunslingers making their postseason debuts.

And for the first time since 2017, the playoff starting quarterbacks field does not include theKansas City Chiefs' three-time Super Bowl MVP,Patrick Mahomes.

Here's how the starting quarterbacks of all 14 playoff teams stack up entering the wild-card round:

NFL quarterback power rankings: Wild-card round

1.Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Unlike a few other quarterbacks in this playoff field, Allen has not been to a Super Bowl, let alone won a title. However, he has also put together a really strong body of work in the postseason: 3,359 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns and four interceptions, plus an additional 668 yards rushing and seven rushing touchdowns.

With Mahomes and Kansas City out of the playoff picture this year, Allen and theBillshave their clearest shot at an AFC title in years. Allen's playoff résumé and Pro Bowl regular-season performance carry him to the top spot on the rankings.

2.Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams

Stafford is among the betting favorites to win the MVP award this year with his 46 touchdowns – no other quarterback had more than 35 – and 4,707 passing yards, both leading the NFL in 2025. TheRams' 37-year-old veteran is also one of three Super Bowl champion starting quarterbacks in this year's playoff field.

The Georgia product also matched his career high in wins this year with 12 in the regular season. The last time Stafford hit that mark was in 2021, the last year the Rams won the Super Bowl.

3.Drake Maye, New England Patriots

Maye is the other MVP candidate in the NFL playoff field this year. His 72% completion rate led the NFL this year, while his 4,394 yards ranked fourth and 31 passing touchdowns ranked third. The second-year quarterback is making his postseason debut after leading the Patriots to a 14-3 record one year after they went 4-13.

4.Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers

Outside of the two MVP candidates and playoff veteran Allen, Love is the best quarterback among the rest of the starters in this playoff field. ThePackers' quarterback ranked second in ESPN's QBR efficiency metric – behind Maye – with his 73.1 mark during the regular season, and he had an 86.5 EPA mark that ranked sixth – just behind Mahomes.

5.Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers

When Purdy was healthy and active, he played like one of the league's best quarterbacks. In nine starts, the49ers' quarterback had more games with three or more passing touchdowns (4) than one or fewer (3). That helped boost him into a tie with Love for second place in ESPN's QBR rankings for the season, though his missed games from injuries kept his EPA below the Packers' gunslinger. Purdy went to the NFC championship game twice in his first three seasons and won it once before the 49ers lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58.

6.Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

NewJaguarshead coach Liam Coen seems to have unlocked the version of Lawrence that everyone anticipated when he was the highest-rated quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck. After an up-and-down first half of the season, Jacksonville ripped off seven straight wins to close the regular season behind some excellent performances from its quarterback. Lawrence threw for multiple touchdowns in five of those seven wins, and he finished the year with 29 passing touchdowns (fifth-most in the league) and 4,007 passing yards (sixth-most).

7.Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert has all of the arm talent and football IQ to potentially earn a spot higher on the list, but he's let down by his supporting cast and playoff résumé so far. In six seasons, Herbert has been to the playoffs twice and has not won a game in either appearance. The first loss saw the Chargers blow a 27-0 lead and the second featured four interceptions and a sub-50% completion rate. In addition to the poor past, there's a worrying present: Los Angeles' offensive line is one of the league's worst, and Herbert's ceiling has been diminished by its poor play.

8.Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears

Williams is the second of three second-year quarterbacks making their postseason debut this year. As with Coen and Lawrence in Jacksonville, Williams seems to have unlocked more of his potential under newBearshead coach Ben Johnson's tutelage in 2025. The USC product finished just behind Lawrence in the league's rankings with 3,942 passing yards and 27 touchdowns. He's displayed his outstanding arm strength and improvisational skills all year, creating some highlight-reel plays, but Williams still needs some refinement. Ball placement and touch stand out as specific areas of improvement.

9.Sam Darnold,Seattle Seahawks

Darnold's first season in Seattle helped push theSeahawksfrom just outside of the playoff picture to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. For the second straight year, the former Jets quarterback won 14 games, threw for more than 4,000 yards and set a new career high in completion rate (67.7%). But Darnold only has one game of playoff experience in his eight-year career, and his showing in last year's wild-card round game against the Rams was not pretty. He took nine sacks and looked deeply uncomfortable in the pocket en route to a 27-9 loss.

Darnold will get an extra week to prepare with the Seahawks' earned wild-card round bye, but he'll have to be hoping for a couple of wild-card upsets to avoid facing the Rams in the postseason again.

10.Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

The reigning Super Bowl MVP was the leader of an offense that mostly looked lost throughout the 2025 season. Hurts threw for touchdowns at the highest rate of his career while setting a new career high with 25 touchdown passes. He also matched a career-low interceptions rate with just six this season.

But Hurts also rushed fewer times than he ever has in a season since he took over as Philadelphia's starter in 2021, and theEagles' reliance on their quarterback's arm more in 2025 correlated to worse results. The five games in which Hurts had the most pass attempts this season were also the five starts the quarterback lost this year.

11.C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans

Stroud has been the king of the wild-card round in his first two seasons in the NFL. Both last year and the year before, theTexans' third-year quarterback put together a nice performance in the first round of the playoffs to put points on the board and help Houston advance. This year, Stroud had one of his weakest regular seasons so far. Per Pro Football Focus, Stroud's time to throw is down to a career-low 2.8 seconds, which has led to a career-low 23 sacks taken. But it's also led to fewer big-time throws, fewer yards per game and a shorter average depth of target than any previous year.

12.Bo Nix, Denver Broncos

Nix is the third of the three second-year quarterbacks making his first playoff appearance this year. He's also the only one who doesn't have to play in the wild-card round thanks to theBroncos' No. 1 seed and bye. The Oregon product had a nice second season with 3,931 passing yards, a new career high, and seven game-winning drives, leading the NFL in 2025.

Digging deeper, Nix looked like more of a beneficiary of Denver's skilled receivers winning in the short passing game than a skilled passer consistently throwing deep. While his passing yards total ranked eighth in the league, it was on a league-leading 612 pass attempts. His 6.4 average yards per attempt ranked third-fewest of quarterbacks with 16 starts this year, ahead of only Cam Ward and Bryce Young. Nix's average depth of target of 8.0 yards was the seventh-shortest of quarterbacks with at least 500 dropbacks.

13.Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers

There were moments during Rodgers' 21st season, at 42 years old, that showed he still has some of that raw talent that netted him four NFL MVPs. However, more often than not, Rodgers – like Nix – also relied on Pittsburgh's talented offensive play-makers to succeed. His 6.4 yards of average depth of target was the lowest of any quarterback with at least 500 dropbacks. His 3,322 yards and 24 touchdown passes were also career-low marks for Rodgers in any season with at least 15 games played.

14.Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers

Young is the outlier of all outliers among NFL quarterbacks with his diminutive stature of 5-foot-10, 204 pounds. Despite starting 16 games, he has fewer passing yards than any other playoff starting quarterback and a lower average depth of target (7.0) in this group of anyone besides Rodgers. In three seasons so far, Young's best demonstrated quality has been his aptitude for being clutch in the late stages of games. His six game-winning drives were tied for second-most this year, plus he's already defeated Stafford and the Rams this season – albeit with some significant help from Carolina's defense.

Key points

• Elle Fanning fainted at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival because her "dress was too tight."

• The Sentimental Value star said that her sister, Dakota Fanning, witnessed the entire incident from across the room.

• Fanning also said that Colin Firth "rushed" to her side: "It was the talk of the festival."

Elle Fanningis reflecting on an unusual wardrobe malfunction.

TheSentimental Valueactressremembered faintingat the 2019 Cannes Film Festival during a new interview withW, noting that her outfit was to blame for her loss of consciousness.

"My dress was too tight," she said, noting that her sisterDakota Fanning, who was at the festival promotingOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood, witnessed the entire incident play out from across the room. "My sister was sitting at another table, and she saw my chair just completely fall back. It's kind of hilarious — very dramatic."

Fanning received a helping hand from a nearby Oscar winner. "Colin Firthwas there, and he rushed to my side," she said. "It was the talk of the festival."

The20th Century Womenstar noted that the Cannes incident was not the first time she had passed out. "I'm known to faint," she said. "In school, I would faint a lot. I grew, like, seven inches in one year, and I guess my body was growing so much that I got altitude sickness."

Fanning previously acknowledged her Cannes fainting spell on social media. "Oops, had a fainting spell tonight in my 1950's Prada prom dress but it's all good!!" she shared on Instagram the night of the incident, alongside the hashtags "#dresstootight" and "#timeofthemonth."

Despite the side effects of the dress, Fanning maintained that she has no fashion regrets. "I don't live with regrets," she toldW. "That's just not my style, but I did try bangs once. Faux bangs that you clip in. Being a blonde, it's hard to match the color of my hair, and it just looked like a big toupee was on the top of my head. I won't be doing that again."

TheWe Bought a Zooactress also said that she experienced good luck at Cannes that balanced out the bad. "There was one party in Cannes that was basically my prom night," she said. "I was dancing barefoot, and there was broken glass everywhere. My manager loves to say she couldn't believe her eyes, because I was maneuvering around the glass barefoot on the dance floor. I didn't get one cut."

But Fanning has still experienced her fair share of awkward moments while donning a glitzy gown. "I made a fool of myself," she said of one particular encounter. "I was at the Met Ball a couple of years ago. I saw Cardi B, and I was just like, Wow. I got up, but I had huge shoes on, so I toppled over and fell. Cardi B saw this giant woman in her periphery just go down. She looked over and said, 'Are you okay?'"
