Really? This is what we’re spending our time on? A congressman from Tennessee is calling for an investigation into the NFL and NBC over…the Super Bowl halftime show. Of course the halftime show was controversial before it even started when the NFL announced that Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican rapper and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, would be headlining the performance at Super Bowl LX. Ahead of the show, critics of the NFL’s decision pointed to Bad Bunny’s sexually […] The post Tennessee Congressman Calls For Investigation Of NFL & NBC Over “Indecent Broadcast” Of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

High praise from one of the best. Sadly, 3 Doors Down frontman Brad Arnold passed away on February 7th after a battle with cancer. He co-founded the band in 1996 and wrote their biggest hits like “Kryptonite” and “Here Without You.” Arnold first revealed last May that he had been diagnosed with cancer last May, and it was in stage 4 when he was diagnosed. He was a man of faith, and leaned on that throughout his battle. The band was […] The post Shooter Jennings Remembers The “Kind & Talented” Brad Arnold With Rare Insight About How He Performed: “I Think About That All The Time” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

USA! USA! USA! Ladies and gentlemen, the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina are in full swing, and if you aren’t watching, there’s something wrong with you (sorry, not sorry). The Summer Olympics always get the majority of the hype, but I’d argue that the Winter Olympics are just as good – if not better. World class athletes fly through the air with snowboards and skis clipped to their feet, people lay down on a sled and rocket down a […] The post WATCH: Team USA’s Mixed Doubles Curling Team Will Compete For Gold Medal Thanks To This Electric Moment first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show has come and gone… so who’s got next? Super Bowl LX didn’t bring the world a very competitive football game (the Seattle Seahawks pummeled the New England Patriots). But it did present quite the halftime show spectacle, and I say that because it’s the first time in my memory that there were two halftime shows that happened at the same time. If you didn’t touch the dial (old phrase, I know), then you watched […] The post Country Music Fans Make Their Picks For Who Should Headline The Super Bowl Halftime Show Next Year first appeared on Whiskey Riff.

The moment that changed everything. It was no secret that Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and many other outlaw names knew how to party. But perhaps Waylon Jennings was one name from the outlaw movement who was best known for his hard living. Drug and alcohol abuse seem to go hand in hand with the rockstar lifestyle, and Jennings struggled with a cocaine addiction. At the peak of his addiction, he was spending $1,000 a day on drugs, as were […] The post “That’s The End”: How A Seemingly Simple Moment With His Son Helped Waylon Jennings Get Sober For Good first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
