Justin Timberlake and Timbaland have teamed up to collaborate with ESPN to choose the music for a few Monday Night Football games during the upcoming season. For seven weeks to be exact, the two will pick the music for commercials, live telecasts and pregame programs. The music will either be produced by the pair or just picked by the two musicians. This news dropped just days before Timberlake and Timbabland drop a new single with Nelly Furtado. “Keep Going Up” will drop on September 1st. The three last collaborated in 2007 with the hit “Give It To Me.” The new single will be featured in the Monday Night Football kickoff September 11th as the Jets and Aaron Rodgers take on the Buffalo Bills. The two will curate the music for several Monday night games this season, including Week 11 when our own Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the battle of the two former Super Bowl teams.

Wrestling and the NFL are collaborating for a new line of NFL themed championship belts. They’re called the ‘Legacy Title Belt’ and features the official colors and logos from all 32 NFL teams. You can get your hands on one of these limited time only championship belts, but it’s going to cost you… It will cost you $549.99 to be exact.
Woah.
But if you have the means, the Eagles themed belt would be a super cool addition to your man cave.

WrestleMania: 10 Interesting Facts About ‘The Showcase of the Immortals’
We're on the final week stretch on the road to WrestleMania 38, which the WWE has said many times will be "stupendous."
Taking place over the course of two nights on April 2 and 3, WrestleMania 38 will emanate from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The event will feature packed cards on both nights including WWE Champion Brock Lesnar taking on Universal Champion Roman Reigns in a Winner Takes All match to unify the two titles and Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair for the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
Additionally, fans will see a showdown of sorts between Kevin Owens and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as part of a special WrestleMania edition of the "KO Show."
To celebrate "The Grandest Stage of Them All," here are 10 interesting facts about WrestleMania.
WrestleMania almost wasn't WrestleMania
Bryan Bedder/Getty ImagesLegendary WWE Hall of Fame ring announcer Howard Finkel is credited with coining the name “WrestleMania,” but before landing on that perfect name, Vince McMahon wanted to call his annual showcase “The Colossal Tussle.”
WrestleMania 35 was the first WrestleMania to be headlined by women.
Bryan Steffy/Getty ImagesIt took over three decades for women to headline “The Showcase of Immortals,” but it finally happened in WrestleMania 35 when Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey faced off in a Winner Takes All Triple Threat match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship and the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
Run-DMC provided a WrestleMania first.
Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesThe iconic rap group was the first act to ever perform at WrestleMania outside of the singing of the National Anthem and “America the Beautiful” when they performed “WrestleMania Rap” at WrestleMania 5. Many other acts have performed at WrestleMania since including Flo Rida, Diddy and Motorhead.
WrestleMania 2 is the only WrestleMania to happen on a weekday.
Paul Kane/Getty ImagesUp until this year, which sees WrestleMania 36 split into a two-night event taking place on Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5, WrestleMania 2 was the only WrestleMania to not take place on a Sunday. Instead, it took place on Monday, April 7, 1986.
WrestleMania 28 holds the record for most PPV buys.
Taylor Hill/Getty ImagesThe WrestleMania that billed the "once in a lifetime" match between The Rock and John Cena saw 1,217,000 PPV buys, which is the most PPV buys for a single WrestleMania ever. Of course, that “once in a lifetime” tag wasn’t exactly true, and The Rock vs. John Cena would headline WrestleMania 29.
“Macho Man” Randy Savage has the record for most WrestleMania matches in a single night.
Frank Micelotta/Getty ImagesOH, YEAH! WrestleMania 4 featured a 14-man tournament for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Savage would end up winning the title defeating Butch Reed, Greg Valentine, One Man Gang, and “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase.
Longest match in WrestleMania history.
Steve Haag/Gallo Images, Jon Kopaloff/Getty ImagesThe legendary iron man match between Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XII still holds the record for longest WrestleMania match clocking in at one hour, one minute and 52 seconds.
Shortest match in WrestleMania history.
Jesse Grant/Getty ImagesThe shortest WrestleMania match happened in recent history at WrestleMania 32 when The Rock squashed Erick Rowan in just six seconds.
Most losses at WrestleMania.
Getty ImagesTriple H may be one of the most prolific wrestlers in WWE history, but he also has the notorious honor of having the most losses at WrestleMania with 13. Yikes!
Total attendance at WrestleMania.
Bill Olive/Getty ImagesWrestleMania 36 is the first WrestleMania with no fans in attendance due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but up until this year, a combined 1,749,276 fans have attended WrestleManias 1-35.
