As part of her Presidential campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris is heading to Metro Detroit later this week.
Harris is heading to Michigan for a campaign event on Thursday, Sept. 19. The Office of the Vice President has not yet announced where exactly that campaign event will take place.
Former President Donald Trump praised law enforcement officials for their response to an armed man outside of Trump International Golf Club.
Officials arrested Ryan Wesley Routh, who allegedly pointed a rifle toward the golf club while Trump was golfing on Sunday. Federal officials on Sunday called the incident an "apparent assassination attempt."
Sunday evening, Trump responded to the incident on his social media platforms.
"I would like to thank everyone for your concern and well wishes - It was certainly an interesting day!" Trump wrote. "Most importantly, I want to thank the U.S. Secret Service, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw and his Office of brave and dedicated Patriots, and, all of Law Enforcement, for the incredible job done today at Trump International in keeping me, as the 45th President of the United States, and the Republican Nominee in the upcoming Presidential Election, SAFE. THE JOB DONE WAS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!"
The incident was the second known assassination attempt on Trump in recent months. In July, a gunman wounded Trump in the ear during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter was fatally shot by Secret Service snipers seconds later.
The Secret Service took a lot of criticism for its preparations for the June rally. The department director, Kimberly Cheatle, resigned following intense questioning from lawmakers about the June incident.
In the time since, the Secret Service has instituted numerous changes to security protocols, including placing Trump behind protective glass during rallies.
Lions fans will soon be able to enjoy coffee made by former linebacker Stephen Tulloch.
Signature Blends from Circle House Coffee, founded by Tulloch, will be available at the Meijer Marketplace on Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak later this month. Tulloch is coming to Metro Detroit for the Meijer Annual Woodward Market Fall Fest on Saturday, Sept. 28.
Tulloch will be at the marketplace from 12-2 p.m. that day. Lions fans can met him there and sample his Signature 55 coffee blends, including a "Good Vibes" Nitro Cold Brew.

Tulloch played in the NFL for 11 seasons, five with the Detroit Lions 2-11-2015). In 67 games with the Lions, Tulloch racked up 485 tackles, 34 tackles for loss, 10.0 sacks and three interceptions. He's the second-leading tackler in Lions franchise history, trailing only DeAndre Levy. He was a captain for the Lions in three seasons (2011-2013) and was nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Community Service Team Award four times in his career.

People love their pets, but not necessarily the costs of caring for them. A recent survey found many people are getting priced out of owning a furry friend and can no longer afford them.
Bob Slusher struggles with the cost of feeding his four dogs.
"It's about $60 a week, and that's in wet food," he said. "It's kind of like raising a child. I mean, they don't need clothes or shoes, but the food and the vet bills (are expensive)."
In the latest consumer price index, the cost of purchasing animal and pet supplies and accessories was up a little more than 3% in the last year. Fortunately, food costs were up less than one percent compared to last year.
But that comes after three years of hefty increases.
Save on pet food
Noah Freed manages a pet store that specializes in food and accessories, the Delhi Pet Center. He has seen a dramatic rise in costs over the past four years. He says to keep food costs down, skip smaller bags at the grocery store, which are the easiest thing to purchase.
"Just because it's more convenient doesn't mean it's cheaper," he said.
Freed recommends buying the biggest bag you can carry and store. Pet supply stores typically stock 40-pound bags, which he says are the best deal.
"The best value is going to be your bigger bags," he said, "because you are going to get the most amount of food for the dollar."
He's a proponent of local pet stores that often have rewards.
"Those have rewards programs where if you buy a certain number of bags, you get one free," he said.
The site LendingTree came up with some unpleasant findings in a recent survey. It found that:
12% of Americans have surrendered a pet in recent years because they could no longer afford it 37% of people have gone into debt over a pet
Save on medical costs
LendingTree's Matt Schulz says a pet hospital visit can break the band.
"Medical emergencies are the primary cause of it," he said.
He suggests setting money aside for a pet emergency fund.
"They can be an amazing thing and they can help our health and our well-being, and just our overall feeling, but they're expensive," Schulz said.
The other option is pet insurance, especially policies designed to cover high-expense emergency visits.
Save on boarding
And dont forget about the cost of caring for pets while youre away.
Since kennels can be expensive, Checkbook.org suggests hiring a pet sitter to save money, or bringing your pet on trips with you, especially since many hotels are now dog-friendly.
"For a lot of families, taking the pet along is more convenient," Checkbook's Kevin Brasler said. "It's less costly and also it doesn't, you know, might not traumatize the pet so much.
The apples here at Detroit Farm and Cider are prime for picking and the owners are crossing their fingers they will be ready to open for the Fall 2024 season. But after a glimpse of hope, a years-long battle with the City of Detroit is now reaching its peak.
It was two weeks ago that I re-visited Detroit Farm and Cedar. Owner Leandra King, beaming with excitement and a touch of nervousness showing me the new additions to her property.
Well have live music over here, were going to have a clown," Leandra said. "Thursday well be doing snow cones, well be doing candy apples, fudge...
It was busy, with everyone in their matching company shirts working fervently, because the next day, Detroit Farm & Cider was scheduled to have a soft launch, its first opening since 2019.
"(I'm) really scared, nervous," Leandra said on the re-opening.
A food handling license, under her fiance's name was being delivered to the far, that day. Leandra believed it would give them the green light to open. But less than 24 hours later, a pile of citations, including a temporary restraining order, forced them to cancel once again.
"We are not looking for closure, we are looking for compliance," said City of Detroit attorney Conrad Mallet.
He claims a neighbor complaint prompted an investigation that found blight and several safety hazards.
We sent the Building and Safety Department and the Public Health Department to do an inspection, and we were refused entry," Conrad said.
Leandra denies inspectors were refused entry, but believes she should be exempt through the Michigan Right to Farm act, which gives protections to farmers from local government and neighbors who consider them a nuisance.
That case went to 36th District Court and it was decided against cider farm," Conrad said.
Mallet says the law does not apply here because it surrounds 12 or more homes. He also says owners of Detroit farm and cider are facing 15 previous misdemeanor for owning livestock without a proper permit.
"You can not ignore the law," Conrad said.
But still, Conrad insists the city will work alongside King to get into compliance.
We are not trying to be overly regulatory we are not trying to create a confrontation but what we are not going to do is just allow people to do whatever they want because they are well-intentioned, Conrad said.
Leandra, with mountains of certifications and perits, tells me her fight feels endless and patience is growing weary, as a foster child, whose only place of refuge was her annual trip to the cider mill, her dream of owning your own is growing faint.
I just want to build a legacy for my family. I want the same thing most families have, generational wealth, a legacy something to pass down," Leandra said.
A sticker on a wall caught Katya Gratcheva’s attention last fall: “No dating or networking. Just breakfast.”
It led the married 52-year-old, tired of the transactional networking she encountered at home in Washington, D.C., to download an app called The Breakfast. For a fee, it pairs strangers seeking deep conversation for morning meals in 17 cities worldwide.
Gratcheva, who is Russian, ultimately matched with a young Ukrainian woman whose willingness to discuss the conflict between their two countries felt transformational. “She was able to see a friend in me even though I represent the nation that bombed her country and killed her friends,” Gratcheva said.
Gratcheva estimates that she’s attended about 30 such breakfasts with strangers in the past nine months. She has lots of company: Apps that offer to connect strangers seeking platonic connections are having a moment. Although they share many features with dating apps, they bill themselves as tools for networking or community-building, not for finding romance, with many like Breakfast targeting isolated remote workers and digital nomads.
In July, the dating app Bumble, which also has modes for networking and friend-finding, completed its acquisition of Geneva, an app designed to help people make new friends to spend time with offline. Bumble CEO Lidiane Jones said on an earnings call that fostering platonic bonds is core to the company’s future business. “What we are hearing from our young users is that they are feeling lonely and disconnected,” she said.
Maxime Barbier, co-founder and CEO of Timeleft, an app that arranges Wednesday night dinners for six-person groups in 170 cities across 37 countries, says fatigue with dating apps is driving people toward in-person, friends-only meetups. “We can see that people are craving something that is not a dating app,” he said.
These services are proliferating at a time when loneliness is common and city dwellers report feeling detached from their local communities.

According to a February survey from Gallup, 1 in 5 workers experiences loneliness. Fully remote workers are more likely to feel lonely (25%), the survey found, compared to those who work fully on-site (16%) and hybrid employees (21%).
A 2023 survey from the Pew Research Center found that urban Americans are less likely to feel they have local connections. Forty-nine percent of city dwellers reported feeling close to people in their local community, compared with 55% of those in the suburbs and 58% of people in rural areas.
Raymond Ou is one of those city dwellers who’s had a hard time making friends. The 41-year-old used to attend tech events to meet people, but since he became a broadcast producer at a local television station whose workday starts at 7 p.m., his evenings are no longer free for happy hours or mixers. “I’ve sacrificed my social life for this job,” Ou said over tofu and veggies, adding that though sacrifice was worth it, he’d still like more friends, especially those with availability during the day.
Ou signed up for the Creative Lunch Club app after seeing an ad on Instagram that promised to connect people in similar industries. In his first three months as a member, he paid $11 to be matched with two others for a small group lunch. On the day of the meeting, one of those Ou was due to meet canceled citing a work emergency — and the other turned out to be this Washington Post reporter.
Ou, who also works as a documentary filmmaker, said he wanted to try the Creative Lunch Club because it offered a space separate from the tech scene. “It’s providing opportunities for different people we want to meet,” Ou said.
Ou told me that he usually eats lunch alone, making him part of a pattern that spurred Klaus Heller, the founder of Creative Lunch Club, to start the app. “I was thinking this could be a good time of the day … to meet other people or to be used better,” Heller said in a phone interview.
Heller, a freelance social media marketer, also had a hunch that people in creative industries would find a lot to connect on. That was true for me and Ou.
Having spent much of my 20s working nights in journalism, I was able to tell Ou that I knew intimately how an unorthodox work schedule can make it hard to have a social life. We also spoke about the challenges of convincing sources to confide in journalists, how we go about cultivating trust with people we’ve just barely met — and bonded over our love of the Japanese clothing brand, Sou Sou. Meeting Ou was enjoyable, but at times I found myself thinking that a larger group would have helped round out the conversation.
Kasley Killam, a social scientist and author of “The Art and Science of Connection: Why Social Health Is the Missing Key to Living Longer, Healthier and Happier,” estimated in a phone interview that there are now hundreds of apps trying to address the loneliness epidemic by helping people connect with others. Just about every week, she hears about a new one. It’s easy to meet new people while in college or your 20s, Killam said, “but what if you move to a new city or go through a breakup? A lot of people struggle for where to turn for that.”
Damian Jacobs, a 44-year-old lawyer, faced that conundrum after a recent move from Hong Kong to San Francisco. His wife and children are still thousands of miles away, visiting occasionally as the family finalizes its plans to relocate.
Jacobs tried taking himself out to bars and restaurants and striking up conversations with strangers, but that didn’t take. “People at my age tend to be married with kids. They’re not going out to bars on a Saturday night and mingling with strangers,” Jacobs said in a phone interview. “I’ve found that places I’ve gone to, folks are much younger than I am, hanging out with their friends.”
Things felt very different at his first dinner arranged via Timeleft. “Everybody at the table is there to meet strangers,” he said. Jacobs paid $25 to access a month of meetups, which combine a different group each week.
After each dinner, Timeleft picks a place for the group to move on to for an optional after-party. At the dinner Jacobs attended in San Francisco’s Japantown, his dining partners, including this reporter, chose a nearby karaoke bar instead. “If you told me I would’ve ended up at a karaoke bar afterward, I would’ve laughed you out of the room,” said Jacobs, who isn’t normally a fan of the art.
Still, he got up on the stage and mouthed the words to “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” by the Proclaimers with the rest of his dinner-mates, later calling the performance “a testament to the power of peer pressure.”
He’s not sure if he’ll see that group again. But he has a three-month subscription to Timeleft and will be going for another dinner with a new group soon.
There will be something for everyone as downtown Clarkston streets are closed and packed with food, music and other activities.
The 26th annual Taste of Clarkston is noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday, Sept 29.
People can sample authentic Italian pasta, barbecue, or innovative fusion cuisine while walking the streets and checking out local storefronts.
Taste of Clarkston originated in Bay Court Park, but has since taken over downtown each year to show off local restaurants and cafes, as well as other local vendors.
“The whole point is to feature restaurants that are local to Clarkston,” said Clarkston Chamber of Commerce Marketing and Membership Manager Kate Masters. “It gives people samples of the menus that these restaurants that are very well known, some even nationally, offer.”
People can purchase 10 tickets for $10 and redeem them at the different restaurants who usually have four to five items to sample.
There will be local bands playing throughout the day, two caricature artists and a kids zone. The Clarkston Rotary Club will have a beer and wine tent and The Clarkston Optimist’s Club will have an Oktoberfest themed beer tent. A local Corvette Club will also be showing off over 40 of their classic cars.
“We try to make the event all encompassing with activities for families and everyone of any age can enjoy throughout the day,” said Masters. “It should be a really good time for everyone.”
“All of our musicians are from the area and we love to be able to feature them,” said Chamber Executive Director Kendal Penny Petzold. “The music has always been something that has been an element of the Taste of Clarkston and it is great to be able to feature local musicians that play throughout different events throughout the year for us as well.”
There are still openings for volunteer shifts starting at 6 a.m. when the streets shut down for set up all the way through the end of the day.
The Chamber partners with The City of the Village of Clarkston and Independence Township Park and Recreation to put on the event each year.

Tito Jackson, one of the brothers who made up the beloved pop group the Jackson 5, has died at age 70.
Tito was the third of nine Jackson children, which include global superstars Michael and sister Janet, part of a music-making family whose songs are still beloved today.
Its with heavy hearts that we announce that our beloved father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Tito Jackson is no longer with us. We are shocked, saddened and heartbroken. Our father was an incredible man who cared about everyone and their well-being, his sons TJ, Taj and Taryll said in a statement posted on Instagram late Sunday.
The Jackson 5 included brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael. The family group, which was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, produced several No. 1 hits in the 1970s including "ABC," I Want You Back and Ill Be There.
The Jackson 5 became one of the biggest names in music under the guidance of their father, Joe Jackson, a steelworker and guitar player who supported his wife and nine children in Gary, Indiana. As the familys music careers took off, they relocated to California.
Born on Oct. 15, 1953, Toriano Adaryll Tito Jackson was the least-heard member of the group as a background singer who played guitar. His brothers launched solo careers, including Michael, who became one of the world's biggest performers known as The King of Pop.
Michael Jackson died at age 50 on June 25, 2009.
Speaking to The Associated Press in December 2009, Jackson said his younger brother's death pulled the family closer together.
I would say definitely it brought us a step closer to each other. To recognize that the love we have for each other when one of us is not here, what a great loss, he said, adding he would personally never be at peace with it.
Theres still moments when I just cant believe it. So I think thats never going to go away, he said.
In 2014, Jackson said he and his brothers still felt Michael Jackson's absence in their shows, which continued with international tours.
I dont think we will ever get used to performing without him. Hes dearly missed," he said, noting that Michael's spirit "is with us when we are performing. It gives us a lot of positive energy and puts a lot of smiles on our faces."
Days before his death, Jackson posted a message on his Facebook page from Germany on Sept. 11, where he visited a memorial to Michael Jackson with his brothers.
Before our show in Munich, my brothers Jackie, Marlon, and I, visited the beautiful memorial dedicated to our beloved brother, Michael Jackson. Were deeply grateful for this special place that honors not only his memory but also our shared legacy. Thank you for keeping his spirit alive," he wrote.
Tito Jackson was the last of the nine Jackson siblings to release a solo project with his 2016 debut, Tito Time. He released a song in 2017, One Way Street, and told the AP in 2019 that he was working on a sophomore album.
Jackson said he purposely held back from pursuing a solo career because he wanted to focus on raising his three sons, TJ, Taj and Taryll, who formed their own music group, 3T. Jackson's website offers a link to a single featuring 3T and Stevie Wonder titled, Love One Another.
Tito Jackson also is survived by his brothers Jermaine, Randy, Marlon and Jackie, his sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and their mother, Katherine. Their father died in 2018.
Jackson's death was first reported by Entertainment Tonight.
Shortly after rifle shots wounded former President Donald Trump and killed one of his fans in July at a Pennsylvania rally, the Republican Party held its national convention in Milwaukee to nominate Trump again with Senator JD Vance as his running mate. One of the creepiest moments in Vance’s awkward acceptance speech came when Vance smiled wistfully and recalled what they found in the house of his grandmother after she died. She’d raised him in Ohio.
We're focusing on a growing concern for families across the nation parental stress. The challenges that parents face could have an impact on both their well-being and kids' health.
Parental stress, according to the U.S. Surgeon General, are being driven by factors such as the pandemic, economic pressures, and the ongoing demands of raising children.
In fact, nearly 70% of parents have reported feeling overwhelmed, and many are struggling to find support.
I went out to find out how parents are coping with the stress, and asked what advice they had to share for other parents.
"I like to go to the gym and relieve a little stress that way," Martell W. said.
"Even if you don't want to change, you have to be willing," Tyrone Powell Jr., added.
According to the recent report, 33% of parents over a one month period reported high levels of stress, compared to only 20% of other adults. 41% of parents say they're so stressed most days that they can't function, and another 48% find stress completely overwhelming, compared to 26% of other adults.
"Things I do for myself is studying the Bible and of course meditating on that," Martell added.
"We go by the plan. I know what time he has to be at school, then I go to work pick him up at a certain time, we're eating dinner at a certain time, we go to bed at a certain time," Shardai Webb said.
"If you raised them right and you have a trust in the Lord, that you have then they will see what they should do," Cathy Jorgenson said.
"Everyone deserves a second chance. Sometimes a third. Sometimes you shouldn't give up. don't give up you shouldn't give up," Powell added.
"You don't have to get angry and yell. Just talk to the kids they understand," Webb said.
"Learn from your mistakes. Strong responsibility and that what i have shared and passed down to my kids," Powell said.
"Set boundaries but be at it at a conversation let it be a conversation rather than preach," Jorgenson said.
An annual traveling exhibit featuring photos of older children in the foster care system will appear at a gala adoption event in Royal Oak.
The Michigan Adoption Resource Exchange, a program of the human services agency Judson Center, will reveal its Michigan Heart Gallery from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Emagine Theatre, 200 N. Main Street.
This year, the photographs of 71 young people are on display. Some of them will be in attendance.
The event includes a red carpet for the arrival of the youth and guests, a film presentation, formal program and lunch.
Attendees will have an opportunity to talk with experienced adoptive parents who can offer guidance.
“It’s a one-stop location for anyone who is thinking about giving a young person a permanent, loving home,” said Judson Center President and CEO Lenora Hardy-Foster.
“Not only can they view the beautiful photos of the older children and teenagers looking for permanent homes, but their questions about the adoption process can be answered right on the spot.”
The exhibit will travel across the state following the Royal Oak event.
“The young people are the stars of the Michigan Heart Gallery,” said MARE Director Michelle Parra. “The event is a celebration of these youth and their hopes for a bright future with their forever families.
“This is MARE’s version of the Oscars. It’s our biggest event of the year, and we’re looking forward to welcoming our young people, adoption professionals and any family or individual with an interest in adoption from foster care.”
Admission to the event is free, but attendees are encouraged to pre-register through the MARE website at www.mare.org. Parking vouchers will be available.

Firefighters gained further ground over the weekend against three Southern California wildfires as authorities in northern Nevada lifted the last of evacuation orders for all homes Sunday.
More than 8,000 personnel combined are battling the three biggest fires burning in the state, all ignited during a triple-digit heatwave at the start of the month.
The largest blaze is the Bridge Fire at 85 square miles, which exploded dramatically through the Angeles National Forest east of Los Angeles at the start of the week. It has torched at least 49 buildings and forced the evacuation of 10,000 people. The fire was 9% contained Sunday morning, with firefighters gaining 4% overnight.
Officials said Sunday the focus continues to be on the northwest flank, where the fire is the most active, but upcoming rain and humidity will aid firefighting efforts.
That's not gonna stop this fire, what that is gonna allow is ... operation folks to go out there and be able to get that line constructed, said fire behavior analyst Garret Hazelton on Saturday.
The Line Fire in Southern California
The Line Fire, which grew slightly overnight to 60 square miles in the San Bernardino Mountains, was 36% contained Sunday.
Officials said it was active in the early morning due to a dry air mass in higher elevations, but cool weather conditions prevailed across the fire area. Light rain was possible late Sunday and into Monday.
Authorities have said a delivery driver purposely started the Line Fire in Southern California on Sept. 5.
Arson-related charges have been filed against Justin Wayne Halstenberg, who is accused of starting the Line Fire. He is due to be arraigned on Monday, according to the San Bernardino County District Attorneys Office. Halstenbergs mother, Connie Halstenberg, told the Los Angeles Times that her son did not light that fire.
The Airport Fire in Southern California
The Airport Fire in Orange and Riverside counties remained at 37 square miles and 19% containment as of Sunday.
Were being helped by the weather and that weather will continue for a couple of days so were making good progress," said Orange County Fire Authority Operations Section Chief Albert Ward.
Firefighting efforts are expected to get a significant boost from thick fog and high humidity Sunday night, and from cooler temperatures and light rain Sunday and Monday, according to the fire authority.
Crews were able to gain access to an area previously blocked by a rock slide. However, the southern edge of the fire is still marked by very rugged inaccessible country that will require helicopters to bring crews in or a long hike, Ward said Sunday.
Despite favorable weather, there is still fire risk above 4,000 feet in elevation, which remains dry. Smoldering vegetation up high can roll downhill and ignite unburned vegetation, the fire authority said.
The Davis fire in northern Nevada
In northern Nevada, Washoe County fire officials say evacuations will be lifted Sunday for all homes the last of nearly 20,000 evacuees.
The Davis fire was estimated at 77% containment on Sunday.
Officials said the fire now is classified as being in a state of mop-up with many restoration and repair projects underway. More than 600 personnel are currently working the wildland blaze that destroyed 14 homes and burned through nearly 9 square miles of timber and brush along the Sierra Nevadas eastern slope near Lake Tahoe.
DETROIT (AP) — Dan Campbell has never been the kind of coach who points fingers at his staff or players.
On Sunday, he took full responsibility for a second-quarter disaster that cost the Lions in a 20-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“I asked our team to improve from last week and we did improve,” Campbell said. “And then their coach costs them with a critical error. That’s 100 percent on me, and I told them that.”
With 18 seconds left in the first half and the Lions out of timeouts, Jared Goff completed an 8-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown in the middle of the field. St. Brown was tackled at the Tampa Bay 9 and the clock kept running.
As Goff signaled for the offense to get lined up for a spike, Detroit’s field-goal unit raced onto the field, only to stop, start again and then race back to the sidelines.
By that point, Goff had taken the snap and spiked the ball with four seconds left, but flags immediately flew for what referee Clay Martin kindly called “12 men on the field at the snap” — it had been at least 20. Since the clock was running in the last two minutes of the half, the Lions were assessed a 5-yard penalty and a 10-second runoff, ending the second quarter.
If the Lions had kicked a field goal, they would have been down by four points at halftime instead of seven. If the second half had played out the same way, they might have been down 20-19 in the last minute with a chance to kick a winning field goal.
Instead, needing a touchdown, they turned the ball over on downs with 53 seconds left. The defense held, but a second drive ended when Goff threw three straight incomplete passes from the Buccaneers 26.
On fourth-and-10 with six seconds left, Goff bounced a short pass to Tom Kennedy, ending Detroit’s hopes of a hook-and-lateral play with time expiring.
“We had something set up for that play,” Goff said. “I just made a crap throw.”
Goff didn’t think the play at the end of the first half caused the loss, but he appreciated Campbell’s gesture.
“He’s at the top of the pyramid here, and when the guy at the top takes accountability — like he’s done throughout his career — it makes it easier for everyone else to do it,” Goff said. “But we had plenty of opportunities to overcome that and win the game.
“We know he’s going to be hard on himself, but we, as players. have to be better.”
Goff was 34 for 55 for 307 yards with two interceptions. He only averaged 9.0 yards per completion, as opposed to Baker Mayfield’s 15.4, and many of those short completions came as the Lions went 1 for 7 in the red zone.
“I thought we were moving the ball really well, but they got really stingy in the red zone,” Goff said. “If we get a couple touchdowns down there, we probably win the game.”
Shogun could be in for an epic night, The Bear could clean up for the second time in less than a year, and Baby Reindeer has gone from dark horse to contender as the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards arrive on Sunday.
Back in their traditional mid-September spot after a single strike-delayed edition in January, the Emmys will air live on ABC from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The father and son duo of Eugene and Dan Levy, the winning stars of the 2020 Emmys with their show Schitt's Creek, will host.
Here's a look at the how the evening could play out across the major categories.
How to watch and stream the Emmys
The show begins at 8 p.m. Eastern and is being shown live on ABC, which is available with an antenna or through cable and satellite providers.
The Emmys can be also streamed live through live TV streaming services that include ABC in their lineup, like Hulu+ Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV. For those without a live TV streaming service, the show will be streaming Monday on Hulu.
Who's nominated for drama series at the Emmys
It may be impossible to slow the roll of Shogun.
With its 14 wins at the precursor Creative Arts Emmy Awards last weekend, the FX series about lordly politicking in feudal Japan has already set a record for most Emmys for a single season of a series.
On Sunday night it can extend its record by six, and industry prognosticators are predicting it will get them all.
The show seized all the Emmy power in the top categories by shifting from the limited series to the drama category in May when it began developing more seasons. And it was in some ways Emmy royalty from the start. During the golden age of the miniseries, the original 1980 Shogun, based on James Clavell's historical novel, won three including best limited series.
If it faces any competition at all for the best drama prize, it could come for the sixth and final season of The Crown, the only show among the nominees that has won before in a category recently dominated by the retired Succession.
Veteran screen star Hiroyuki Sanada, up for best actor, and Anna Sawai, up for best actress, are in position to become the first Japanese actors to win Emmys.
Sanada could face a challenge from Gary Oldman, who has been quietly creating one of his career defining roles on Apple TV+ as schlubby spy chief Jackson Lamb on Slow Horses.
Sawai's competition comes from Emmy luminary Jennifer Aniston of The Morning Show, who has only won once before in 10 nominations. Imelda Staunton could win her first for playing Queen Elizabeth II on The Crown.
The comedy landscape at the Emmys
This looks to be the year of FX, which is also in for a likely victory lap for The Bear."
The Bear took most of the big comedy Emmys home in January for its first season, and is expected to do the same Sunday for its second, which includes nominations for best comedy series, best actor for Jeremy Allen White and best supporting actor for Ebon Moss-Bachrach.
Ayo Edebiri, reigning best supporting actress, moves to the lead actress category for a character who is essentially a co-lead on the culinary dramedy. That means she'll be up against Jean Smart, a two-time winner in the category for Hacks who is back in the competition after a year off.
Meryl Streep, among several Academy Award winners among the night's nominees, could win her fourth Emmy to go with her three Oscars. She's up for best supporting actress in a comedy for Only Murders in the Building.
Limited series categories at the Emmys
Another multiple Oscar winner, Jodie Foster, could get her first Emmy for best actress in a limited series for True Detective: Night Country.
The HBO show that features Foster as a police chief investigating mysterious deaths in the darkness of a north Alaskan winter was the top nominee among limited or anthology series. Kali Reis could become the first Indigenous woman to win an Emmy in the supporting actress category.
A few months ago it looked as though the show would vie with Fargo for the top prizes, but Netflix's darkly quirky Baby Reindeer surged on the eve of nominations and is now the popular pick for best limited series, best actor for creator and star Richard Gadd and best supporting actress for the woman who plays his tormentor, Jessica Gunning.
Gadd's category also includes Andrew Scott for Netflix's Ripley," and Jon Hamm, who has two shots at winning his second Emmy between his nomination here for Fargo and for supporting actor in a drama for The Morning Show.
