Father's Day hits a little differently this year for Justin Tuck, former team captain and defensive end for the New York Giants. This is the first holiday without his dad, Jimmy Lee Tuck, who passed away in 2024.
'His presence was larger than life, his wisdom was boundless and his love for his family and God was unwavering,' says the two-time Super Bowl champ. 'His legacy lives on in everything I do, in the lessons he passed down to me and in how I raise my own sons [Jayce, 15, and Jonah, 11].'
The retired NFL player, who's now a managing director at Goldman Sachs, tells Alexa that he and wife Lauran work together to 'instill values like hard work, integrity and perseverance' in their boys. 'Individually, I try to lead by example, showing them what it means to be a good man,' says the co-founder of Tuck's R.U.S.H. for Literacy foundation. 'Leadership isn't about being the loudest voice; it's about setting the standard through your actions.'

Some might say the Notre Dame and Wharton grad is also a leader in fashion. When he's not in a crisp suit and tie, he is all about a relaxed fit. 'I grew up on a farm in Alabama, so comfort is king,' says Tuck, 42. 'You'll usually catch me in a well-worn pair of jeans, a hoodie and sneakers. Nothing too flashy — just classic.' Here are the basics for getting Tuck's dapper — and untucked — looks.

Kevin Williamson 'Loosely' Based ‘The Waterfront' On His Dad's Criminal Past: 'He Paid The Price'
More than 25 years after launching Dawson's Creek, Kevin Williamson is taking audiences to another body of water in one of his most personal projects yet.

More from Deadline 'The Waterfront': Netflix Reveals Premiere Date For Kevin Williamson Drama 'The Waterfront' Trailer: Coastal Family Turns To Drugs To Save Empire in Kevin Williamson Drama 'Nobody Wants This' Creator Erin Foster Talks Season 2 Timeline, Leighton Meester And Adam Brody Together On Screen 'But it was really small time stuff,' he noted to the New York Post. 'He was caught and arrested. He paid the price.' 'He always said, 'Wait till I'm dead.' But I do know my dad has a big sense of humor and I'm sure wherever he is, he's happy knowing I did this show,' added Williamson. Despite the patriarch's checkered history, Williamson remembers his father as 'the best man ever, and so I was like, 'how did such a good man take a left turn?' I feel like we're in a world now where everyone has a side hustle….Everyone's trying to survive and they're doing what they can just to pay the bills. I really wanted to tap into that struggle.' In The Waterfront, things spiral out of control when the Buckleys turn to drug smuggling in attempt to save their once-thriving North Carolina fishing empire.

Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles
Nick Sirianni Continues To Pull Right Strings For Eagles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Ever since Nick Sirianni was hired as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, the outspoken leader has seemed to have strong control over the locker room. Advertisement Year after year, Sirianni has been able to handle the pulse of the roster to the point of allowing them to succeed even when adversity hit hard. It all came together last season when Sirianni's leadership helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX. At 48-20, Sirianni's .706 winning percentage is among the highest in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons. His control of the locker room's pulse was abundantly clear during offseason workouts. In a clip of the Eagles' Unscripted documentary, Sirianni clarified the team's mindset for this season. "First I want to say, the celebration is over. OK? The celebration is over, preparation is here. Celebration is over, preparation is here," Sirianni said. "As we continued through here last year, as we came into the 2024 season there was a lot that we talked about of handling adversity. Now, it's a little different. You have to handle success, Right? It's a different animal. Right? Advertisement "You've got to handle success. Everyone right now, for the guys here, is telling you how good you are. Treat praise like perfume. Sniff it, don't drink it. It's poison." While Philadelphia is one of the youngest teams in the league, its roster is very veteran-laden. Its young players all played key roles in its Super Bowl run last season. Sirianni's ability to get his young team on the same page this early in the offseason shows that he continues to know the right ways to prepare his team for the season. And it shows why his record shows there's more to winning football games than just calling plays.
