Hardee’s announced the debut of a new permanent menu platform with the introduction of its new Nashville Hot Chicken lineup.

Joining Hardee’s signature Hand-Breaded Chicken platform, the new Nashville Hot Chicken lineup includes kicked-up versions of Hardee’s favorites like Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich, Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders, and Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit.

Here’s a closer look at the lineup:

• Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Sandwich: A premium, all-white chicken fillet, hand dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded, fried to a golden brown, topped with Nashville Hot Seasoning, plus garlic pickles and mayonnaise, all served on a toasted potato bun.
• Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Biscuit: A tender all-white meat chicken breast, battered and breaded in the brand’s crispy coating, topped with Nashville Hot Seasoning on a Made from Scratch Biscuit
• Nashville Hot Hand-Breaded Chicken Tenders: Premium, all-white meat chicken, hand dipped in buttermilk, lightly breaded, fried to a golden brown and topped with Nashville Hot Seasoning. Each order is served with a choice of dipping sauce.

Marcus Stroman is now on the lookout for a new team.

The 2019 and 2023 All-Star was released by the Yankees on Friday, a day after the league’s trade deadline.

His release comes after New York added relievers David Bednar, Camilo Doval and Jake Bird before the deadline.

In his final start for the Yankees, Stroman allowed four runs and six hits with three strikeouts in a 7-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He allowed four runs in each of his past two appearances.

Stroman was an All-Star with the Mets (’21) and Cubs (’23) before coming to New York. The 34-year old joined the Yankees on a two-year, $37 million deal in January of 2024, but struggled in his two years in the Bronx.

He had a 4.69 ERA in 193.2 IP over his two-year stretch in New York.

Jack in the Box adds a new dessert to its menu with the introduction of the new Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar.

The Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar features a soft and chewy vanilla blondie loaded with Oreo chunks and white chocolate chips, topped with Oreo pieces and Oreo crust underneath.

If the name of the new Oreo treat rings a bell, that’s probably because the chain launched a similarly named limited-time Oreo Cookie Ultimate Chocolate Shake back in August 2024.

You can find the new Oreo Ultimate Cookie Bar at participating locations nationwide for a limited time.

Carvel welcomes back one of the brand’s original soft-serve flavors with the return of Pistachio this season.

Pistachio can be enjoyed in a variety of Carvel treats including soft serve, scooped ice cream, Flying Saucers and a Pistachio Crunchies Dasher layered with Pistachio soft serve, hot fudge and Carvel’s iconic chocolate Crunchies.

Here’s a closer look at Carvel’s Pistachio lineup:

• Pistachio Scooped: Carvel’s scooped ice cream in a smooth Pistachio flavor.
• Pistachio Soft Serve Cone: Pistachio-flavored soft-serve.
• Pistachio Carvelite: A smooth, lighter taste that blends well with the brand’s low-calorie ice cream.
• Pistachio & Chocolate Crunchies Sundae Dasher: Layers of Pistachio soft-serve, bittersweet fudge and chocolate crunchies. Topped with whipped cream and chocolate crunchies.
• Pistachio Flying Saucer: Pistachio soft-serve sandwiched between two Flying Saucer chocolate wafers.

Aaron Glenn’s first preseason as head coach of the New York Jets will kick off this summer on the road and then wrap up with traditional warm-weather games against the Jets’ NFC East foes and neighbors.

Jets at Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field, Saturday, Aug. 9 (8 p.m. ET kickoff), TBA
The Jets’ summer schedule opens on a Saturday afternoon in Cheesehead Country. This will be their 10th preseason game against the Packers. The Green & White are 3-6 in their first nine summer meetings with the Pack, but they’ve won two of the last four,

Jets at New York Giants, MetLife Stadium, Saturday, Aug. 16 (7 p.m. kickoff), WCBS
The Jets will be the road team against the Giants at MetLife Stadium the following Saturday night, and there remains at least a theoretical possibility that the Jets’ Justin Fields and the Giants’ Russell Wilson, both of whom were QBs with the Steelers last season, could get a few snaps against the other’s defense in this one.

The Jets have won the last four games in their summer series with Big Blue and are 29-25-1 all-time. 

Jets vs. Philadelphia Eagles, MetLife Stadium, Friday, Aug. 22 (7:30 p.m. kickoff), WCBS
The August wrapup will pit the Jets and Eagles at MetLife on Friday night, Aug. 22, for the familiar foes’ first meeting in the past three summers. From 1985-2022, the teams that wear the different shades of green met each year except 2000 and the aforementioned summer of ’20. The Jets lead the preseason series 26-16-1.

The teams’ most recent meeting was a 24-21 Jets victory to open the ’22 preseason schedule.

Four New York Mets currently in the minor leagues are on the Baseball Hot List of Top 50 Prospects

INF/OF Jett Williams: No. 17

RHP Jonah Tong: No. 29

OF Carson Benge: No.32

RHP Nolan McLean: No. 34

Williams, 21, is having a terrific season for Double-A Binghamton, where he’s slashing .288/.396/.495 with eight homers, 24 doubles, five triples, 26 stolen bases, 52 runs scored, and 31 RBI in 334 plate appearances over 78 games. He will very likely get promoted to Triple-A Syracuse before the season is over.

Tong, 22, continues to lay waste to hitters in Double-A. He has a 1.83 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 125 strikeouts in 78.2 innings over 15 starts. It’s fair to believe that Tong will be promoted to Syracuse relatively soon.

Benge, the Mets’ first-round pick (19th overall) in the 2024 MLB Draft, is excelling for Binghamton after spending the first 60 games of the season with the High-A Brooklyn Cyclones. Overall this season, the 22-year-old is slashing .302/.422/.485 with six homers, 21 doubles, five triples, 57 runs scored, 44 RBI, and 17 stolen bases.

McLean, who turns 24 on July 24, has been dominating for Syracuse and could be on the doorstep of his big league debut. Overall this season, McLean has a 2.17 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 95 strikeouts in 87.0 innings for Binghamton and Syracuse.

Returning to McDonald’s menus is the Smoky BLT Quarter Pounder With Cheese.

Serving as the star of the show, the smoky BLT sauce is seasoned with paprika, parsley, and black pepper. McDonald’s describes it as a “sweet and tangy, savory and garlicy sauce” that flaunts “a lingering smokiness.”

The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the NFC East Division rival Dallas Cowboys in the NFL Kickoff Game at Lincoln Financial Field on September 4, the NFL announced.

The Eagles defeated the Cowboys in both of their two annual division matchups during the 2024 NFL regular season by a combined 75-13 margin. The NFL is scheduled to reveal its full 2025 regular season schedule on Wednesday (May 14) on NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app and NFL+.

The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception on 17 of 22 passing, while also recording 72 yards and one touchdown on 11 rushing attempts to be named Super Bowl MVP.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is coming off a season in which he led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards and became the ninth player in NFL history to record more than 2,000 yards in a single season. The Cowboys finished the 2024 season at 7-10, having lost quarterback Dak Prescott in Week 9 to a season-ending hamstring injury following a 3-4 start.
