Disney's Bob Iger got out of a jam with two of his biggest stars: Jimmy Kimmel and Pat McAfee. AdvertisementThere aren't a lot of media moguls who could get out of a jam involving two of their biggest stars and accusations of pedophilia. It's unclear when McAfee intends to bring Rodgers back or if he ever will; ESPN reps declined to comment. One of the reasons is that while Disney and ESPN are reported to be paying McAfee $85 million over five years to bring his daily talk show to ESPN, McAfee isn't a Disney employee. And certainly not one about one of ESPN's biggest stars, who's supposed to represent its path to the future.

In today's big story, we're looking at what the $650 billion in unrealized losses means for financial firms. That's the unrealized losses US financial firms wracked up as of September 30, according to Moody's estimate. That means there's a lot of wiggle room for how big banks can portray them on their balance sheet. To be sure, big banks are better capitalized than SVB. Big banks' share prices noticeably dropped as bond prices sunk.

The Philadelphia Eagles couldn’t wait to upgrade at safety, acquiring two-time All-Pro Kevin Byard from the Tennessee Titans earlier this week. “This is my eighth season and I’m feeling really good, coming off a bye week, too. The 29-year-old Henry can be a free agent after the season so he should be considered a half-season rental. Henry makes sense for Tampa Bay even though the team wants to build around younger players. The Dolphins (5-2), Lions (5-2) and Jaguars (5-2) are among the top possibilities if the Commanders deal Young.

Star NFL quarterback Tom Brady broke another Surface tablet during Sunday's game. Brady said the NFL warned him last year against breaking any more tablets after his first outburst. The star Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback smashed one of the devices in frustration during Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Microsoft's product chief Panos Panay, who oversees the Surface tablet development, joked in an Instagram story on Sunday that the tablet "should be just fine." This isn't the first time Brady has broken a Surface tablet, which NFL teams have used on the sidelines to review plays for nearly a decade.

The Mississippi state auditor said Favre never gave the speeches and demanded the money back, with interest. In an interview with the website Mississippi Today, Bryant said he never knew the grants came from welfare money. The former head of the state welfare agency, John Davis, has pleaded not guilty to state charges of bribery and conspiracy, and law enforcement officials say the investigations continue. Favre defended himself in a series of tweets last year against allegations from White, the state auditor, that he accepted state money for speeches he never intended to give. Marcus Dupree, a former college football star, also received $370,000 in welfare funds, which prosecutors say partly went to fund his horse ranch.
