If you’ve ever wondered if the top college football team in the country could beat the worst NFL team, according to EA Sports, they can! They ran a simulation between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Cleveland Browns and Bama beat ‘em by a landslide… 34 to 0!

They announced the latest batch of contestants for The Bachelor and sadly, none of the women are from our neck of the woods. However, I did the research and there are two girls from Dallas, Rachel, an attorney and Elizabeth, a marketing manager. There’s also a contestant from New Orleans, a chef named Jaimi.

Rolling Stone has released their list of the Best Country Albums of 2016 and newcomer Maren Morris topped the list with Hero while Miranda Lambert came in next with The Weight of These Wings.

Dolly Parton is working hard to put together her ‘Smoky Mountains Rise: A Benefit for the My People Fund’ concert and she’s announced the first round of performers including Reba McEntire, Kenny Rogers and Aliston Krauss. More performers will be added to the list soon. The three hour benefit concert is taking place this Tuesday in Nashville and you’ll be able to watch it on Great American Country.
