"Coach Cignetti and his staff have ignited IU Football and brought so much joy and energy to Bloomington and the state of Indiana," the company said. "We are excited to continue providing beer for the Hoosiers as they celebrate the national championship, and we will be sending plenty of Hoosier Gameday Lager their way."

If it weren't for Ja'Quan McMillian, the Broncos would likely be watching the AFC Championship Game from their couches ... so it's only right Denver thanked the cornerback with a steak dinner fit for a king!!

With Josh Allen and Co. driving down the field in overtime of the Divisional Round matchup on Saturday, the 2024 MVP connected with Brandin Cooks on a deep ball that would have put Buffalo in field-goal range ... but McMillian was right there to yank it away and secure the turnover.

A lot of folks -- especially Bills Mafia -- screamed it was a catch and Cooks was down by contact before McMillian took the ball ... but the officials said it was, indeed, an INT.

John Harbaugh was officially introduced as the head coach of the New York Giants on Tuesday ... and the 63-year-old admitted it felt "really great" to know the leader of the free world is on board with his hiring.

Harbaugh was asked about President Donald Trump's push for his employment during his first date with the N.Y. media ... and coach was well aware of the Jan. 10 endorsement via Truth Social.

"I'll tell ya, I also noticed on that post he said 'And John take the job,' so I thought John Mara had something to do with it," Harbaugh said.

Jordan Addison is in the clear ... a trespassing charge against the Minnesota Vikings receiver has been dropped, TMZ Sports confirmed.

The state attorney filed a Notice of Termination of Prosecution in Hillsborough County Court on Tuesday, announcing that after reviewing the criminal report, they have decided not to take further action.

The charge stems from his arrest on January 12 ... when Addison was accused of trespassing at the Hard Rock Casino in Tampa, Florida.

We broke the news ... police were dispatched to the Noodle Bar (inside the casino) after Addison allegedly refused to leave. It's unclear why the restaurant wanted him kicked out, but they did, and after several attempts to get him out the front door, Addison was taken into custody.

And yes, it was all her idea.

David Beckham is keeping his mouth shut about all of his family drama with Brooklyn Beckham ... completely ignoring questions on the touchy subject during a visit to the Swiss Alps.

David gives the cold shoulder to the journalist as he walks away with a smile on his face -- never even turning to acknowledge the reporter.

Chris Pratt’s no stranger to staying ripped for his Marvel role as Star-Lord, but even when he’s not in superhero mode, he says he’s always got one thing on his mind -- not letting himself go.

Speaking on 'GMA' Tuesday, Chris told the hosts he’s always just "six weeks away from the right body" ... so he doesn’t have to suffer to get back to that lean, superhero-ready shape for the role he’s expected to reprise in "Avengers: Secret Wars."

As we all know, starting from scratch would be brutal ... something Chris has documented plenty of times on social media, showing off his workouts and diet as he went from full-on dad bod days to Marvel superhero status.
