The Dallas Cowboys have been among the more active teams in the NFL this offseason, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer thinks that sets them up for a smooth 2026 NFL Draft. “I think we did a really good job of setting ourselves up to be able to draft natural and draft pure, which is what you want to do,” Schottenheimer said about the team’s approach to the draft when speaking at the University of Texas at Austin’s Pro Day on Tuesday, according to the Cowboys’ team website. “You don’t want to have to be forced to reach for a player, that’s when you make mistakes.” Dallas has two selections in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft: picks No. 12 and 20 (acquired from the Green Bay Packers as part of the Cowboys’ August 2025 trade return for superstar defensive end Micah Parsons). The Cowboys also have the No. 92 pick, among other selections. Regarding their own players, the Cowboys have, most notably, re-signed running back Javonte Williams (three-year, $24 million deal) — who rushed for 1,201 yards and 11 touchdowns on 4.8 yards per carry in 2025, all career highs — and placed a $5.8 million second-round tender on star kicker Brandon Aubrey. [2026 NFL Offseason: Who Joins Cowboys Among 5 Teams Ready to Make Postseason Leap?] Meanwhile, Dallas placed the $27.3 million franchise tag on wide receiver George Pickens, who posted a career high in receptions (93), receiving yards (1,429) and receiving touchdowns (nine) in his first season in Dallas. Elsewhere, the Cowboys acquired defensive lineman and 2024 Pro Bowler Rashan Gary from the Packers and signed defensive backs Jalen Thompson (three-year, $33 million deal) and Cobie Durant (one-year, $4 million deal). “We’ve added some really good pieces, we’ve got some good depth,” Schottenheimer said about the Cowboys’ offseason. “There are still a few positions that we need to address, [but] that’s all part of the process. Like I say all the time, not my line, I think it’s Stephen’s [Jones] or Jerry’s [Jones], but [player acquisition] is 24/7, 365, and it never stops. We’re never stopping to look, we’re always open for business.” Dallas is coming off a 7-9-1 season, which was Schottenheimer’s first as head coach, marking a second consecutive year that it missed the playoffs and posted a losing record. In the wake of their defense surrendering the most points in the NFL (30.1 per game) — while also being 30th in opponent total yards (377.0 per game) and tied for 22nd in sacks (35.0) — the Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus after one season in favor of former Philadelphia Eagles defensive assistant Christian Parker.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
There’s more than one toxic couple on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Viewers remember Jessi’s alleged emotional affair and her accusation that husband Jordan Ngatikaura had been emotionally abusive.
Now, their 5-year-marriage is over.
Jessi says that Jordan threatened to blackmail her — even though he had cheated with “escorts” and “orgies.”
On the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast, Jessi Draper discusses her split from Jordan Ngatikaura. (Image Credit: YouTube)
This is not shaping up to be an amicable divorce
During the Wednesday, March 25 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Jessi put Jordan on blast.
She claimed to be in possession of “proof and screenshots” that Jordan Ngatikaura was unfaithful during their marriage.
Rather than accusing him of having a mistress, she says that he hired escorts — full service sex workers.
“He denied it when I brought it to him, but … it was real,” Jessi said during the recording.
She added that the woman from the escort service had “sent so much proof.”
According to Jessi, she also believes that Jordan attended “orgies or sex parties.”
She heard this from her sister, who heard it from someone else who attends.
According to Jessi’s thirdhand info, her ex was “always there” at these parties.
Though some adult gatherings like these will check to avoid cheaters, most are more interested in making sure that everyone’s clean of STIs and that everyone is all-around trustworthy and safe.
No one wants to be the means by which someone betrays their spouse, but the honor system is usually enough. When it isn’t, cheaters can take advantage of what should be a night of innocent fun.

How did she decided to end the marriage?
According to Jessi, these “betrayals” were the “final straw” for her, not the sole reason for ending the marriage after 5 years.
On March 13, she “literally woke up one day” and realized that she had the power to “change” things — by divorcing Jordan.
However, she says that he “blindsided” her after the breakup.
Jordan filed for divorce six days later — before they had a chance to tell their children, 5-year-old Jagger and 3-year-old Jovi.
As a result, Jessi laments, there’s a hostile vibe that she’d hoped to avoid.

Jordan’s divorce filing claims that he, not she, is ending the marriage, and that the reason for this split is her “affair.”
Remember when Jessi was on Vanderpump Villa and had an emotional affair with Marciano Brunett — one that went so far as to include a kiss?
Well, Jessi says that Jordan blackmailed her, threatening to release her texts with Marciano.
Obviously, when the world found out, that alleged blackmail threat went away.
But that’s incredibly toxic for a marriage — even if Jordan had not allegedly been cheating on her left and right in a far more physical capacity.
On ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Season 4, Jessi Ngatikaura asks a very pregnant question. (Image Credit: Hulu)
Their marriage probably should have ended years ago
Prior to this (hopefully final) split, Jordan and Jessi have separated three times.
While it is not normal for couples to “fight all of the time,” it is normal for long-term relationships to have high and low points.
But alleged blackmail and multiple separations aren’t really the kinds of low points from which most couples can — or should — simply bounce back.
Obviously, we here at THG have not personally reviewed Jessi’s evidence against Jordan.
Perhaps we will learn more as these exes battle it out in court.

The Alaska House of Representatives passed an elections bill aimed at streamlining the state’s voting process and updating the voter rolls with a bipartisan vote on Monday. If signed into law, the bill would implement a new ballot tracking system, provide paid postage for all absentee mail-in ballots and implement provisions for faster election results, among other changes.
The House passed Senate Bill 64 by a 23 to 16 vote on Monday evening, with Rep. Ashley Carrick, D-Fairbanks, absent. Three members of the House minority caucus joined the majority in supporting the legislation: Rep. Sarah Vance, R-Homer, Rep. Kevin McCabe, R-Big Lake, and Rep. Jeremy Bynum, R-Ketchikan.
Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, sponsored the legislation as chair of the Senate Rules Committee and said at a news conference on Tuesday the bill was at least a decade in the making and the result of a bipartisan effort.
“We’re going to agree on the things that we can agree on, things that just fundamentally make our elections better. And after 10 years, I think this bill does that,” he said. “It’s not a perfect bill. There are still things that need to be worked on, but this goes a long way towards improving our election system for every single person in the state of Alaska.”
The House made a variety of changes to the bill that the Senate passed last year, and the bill now goes back to the Senate for a concurrence vote on Wednesday. If signed into law by Gov. Mike Dunleavy, some elections changes would be implemented immediately, like a review of the voter rolls. Changes to ballot tracking and curing would go into effect after the August primary.
Lawmakers have focused on updating the state’s voter rolls to make sure voters are currently living in Alaska. Wielechowski said the new system will help the state maintain active voter rolls.
“We have 105% more registered voters than we have eligible citizens in the state of Alaska,” Wielechowski said, calling the discrepancy a “fundamental problem.”
“Everyone in Alaska knows that our elections in Alaska are probably the most difficult elections to conduct in the United States for a variety of reasons, but mostly because of geography, because of weather, because people are just spread out over such a vast area,” he said.
Under SB 64, the Division of Elections would send a notice to confirm address and residency in Alaska if the voter has:
Registered to vote in a another state
Received a driver’s license in another state
Registered a vehicle in another state
Served on a jury in another state
Receives a residential property tax exemption in another state
Receives public assistance in another state
If the bill passes, the Alaska Division of Elections will review the voter rolls and, based on a list of factors, send a postcard by mail to verify a voter’s address and establish residency. Once the notices are sent, voters have a period of 45 days to respond and confirm their Alaska residency to the division — or be moved to an inactive voter list for a period of 28 months or two elections.
Some members of the Republican House minority caucus expressed concern that military members stationed overseas would be kicked off the voter roles.
Rep. Sarah Vance, R-Homer and a member of the minority caucus, spearheaded the House version of the bill and said that even if voters are inactive, they will still be on a master voter list for eight years, under federal law.
“We cannot cancel, according to federal law, someone off of the master register for eight years. So this includes the military voters,” she said. “But I want to make sure that everyone else understands they’re not going to be inadvertently canceled either.”
Under the bill, voters would be able to show identification issued from a federally recognized tribe to register to vote or for voting. To confirm active voting status, voters would be able to contact the division by calling, emailing or by voting.
Under the Senate’s version of the bill, the state would have done away with the requirement of a witness signature for all absentee mail-in ballots, but the House objected to that change and opted to keep the witness signature.
If passed, the bill would also allow voters to fix mistakes on their ballot – a process called ballot curing — by requiring the division to contact the voter by phone or email within 24 hours. Within two to five days, the division would send notification by mail. The voter would have to return a form to correct the ballot with a copy of identification by email or by mail within 10 days of the election for their ballot to be counted.
If passed, the bill would require the state to provide paid postage for all absentee mail-in ballots. The state would also enact a new tracking system so that voters will be notified when their ballot is received and counted.
Wielechowski said that will help with transparency, as will new provisions to get election results published faster. Additionally, the elections department will start reviewing ballots 12 days ahead of Election Day — five days earlier than under current law — to allow more ballots to be counted on Election Day.
Require all absentee ballots to be received within 10 days of Election Day;
Establish a new rural community liaison position within the Division of Elections to support rural districts, including recruitment and training of poll workers;
Require the Permanent Fund Dividend Division to share data to improve the accuracy of the voter rolls’
Require the state to develop a cybersecurity program, and notify the public if there is a data breach;
Require the division to publish results for all rankings in the precinct results.
Require presidential ballots to include a line for write-in votes for president and vice president
Updates crimes of unlawful interference with an election, ballot tampering and election official misconduct
Wielechowski said the new rural liaison established by the bill would be charged with helping small, rural communities prepare to hold their elections, coordinate equipment and polling places, and hire poll workers to improve operations on Election Day.
“That person is responsible for working with the local villages … working with those communities to ensure that all the citizens are able to exercise their fundamental right to vote,” he said.
“The polls never opened in Wales in 2024 in the primary. The polls in Anaktuvuk Pass in 2024 opened up 30 minutes before closing, and roughly seven people out of about 250 were able to vote in that election in person,” Wielowski said.
The changes to Alaska’s process of voting and elections this year could come amid potential sweeping changes to national elections.
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a case that would require all ballots to be received by Election Day in order to be counted for federal elections.
All ballots received after that deadline would be thrown out, which could potentially disenfranchise thousands of Alaska voters who cast ballots that may be delayed by weather, flight delays or election logistics challenges.
“It’s going to create some havoc in our election system, and it may very well require a special session for us to come in and deal with it,” Wielechowski said. “And so you could get in a situation where you have ballots coming in that don’t count for the federal election, but do count for the state election. And so there would have to be some kind of way that you figure out how to process those ballots in a different manner.”
The Supreme Court is expected to rule next summer.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is putting pressure on the U.S. Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which would, in part, require voters to present identification and proof of U.S. citizenship in person when they vote.
Alaska Republican U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski has loudly opposed the bill, saying it’s logistically impossible for most Alaskans, as the state only has six in-person elections offices and fewer than a dozen DMV offices. Republicans U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan and U.S. Rep. Nick Begich III have supported the bill, saying they don’t think it would be hard to comply with its requirements.
The U.S. Senate is currently debating the bill amid another contentious debate around funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and ending a five-week partial shutdown for the department. On Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the Senate may drop the voting bill in order to reach an agreement with Democrats over funding DHS, and return to it after Easter, according to reporting by Politico.

Savannah Guthrie sat down for her first interview since her mother disappeared.
It has been over 50 days.
In an emotional and tearful talk, Savannah shares her raw grief and her family’s ongoing pain.

This is her first interview since this nightmare began
On Wednesday, March 25, The Today Show aired its first heartbreaking clip of Savannah’s first interview since her mother’s abduction and presumed death.
The clip shows her speaking with longtime friend and colleague Hoda Kotb, both women in tears.
“Someone needs to do the right thing,” Savannah expresses in the preview video.
“We are in agony,” she adds, referring to herself and the rest of her family, including siblings Annie and Camron, all of whom feel as though they are in limbo. “It is unbearable.”
Emotional, Savannah adds: “And to think of what she went through.”
As the interview preview continues, we can hear more as the longtime anchor describes her state of mind for the past 53 days.
“I wake up every night — in the middle of the night every night,” Savannah reveals.
“And in the darkness I imagine her terror and it is unthinkable,” she describes.
“But those thoughts demand to be thought,” Savannah emphasizes, “and I will not hide my face.”
She then affirms: “But she needs to come home. Now.”

The full interview will contain much more
Back at the anchor desk, Hoda speaks to her colleagues.
The tone could not be more somber.
“As you’ll see in these coming days,” she tells the others, “she talks about the investigation. She talks about her faith.”
Hoda explains to the others that Savannah’s hope is that someone has or will see something.
And, of course, that this person will then say something.

We want to emphasize that, officially, Nancy Guthrie has not been declared dead. This is a missing persons case.
However, we’re talking about an elderly woman who has been missing for over 50 days.
Investigators believe that she was kidnapped in the night.
She is also without her daily medication.
Whatever happened and whenever it happened, many believe that the best that Savannah and her loved ones can hope for is to lay their mother to rest. And, perhaps, to get justice for their mother.

Why hasn’t someone come forward?
It is possible that Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper accidentally killed her during the course of the kidnapping.
(Most experts seem to agree that this person was an amateur hoping to make easy money by targeting a vulnerable elderly woman.)
It is also possible that she died due to medical reasons, such as lack of access to her daily medication.
Either way, the kidnapper has likely tried to remove any trace of involvement — and has probably either gone to ground or skipped town entirely, or whatever is least conspicuous.
Either way, they know that turning themselves in — or even releasing a tip on where to find Nancy — would be the end for them.
Unless this person slips up or police find a sudden lead, the Guthrie family might never receive the closure that they need.
Now, we’re receiving new information about the fateful night of her arrest.
Police bodycam footage shows Taylor’s victim, then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, asking police to arrest him instead.
Bodycam footage from Taylor Frankie Paul’s arrest shows her very intoxicated and upset. (YouTube)
That obviously didn’t happen, and the video also shows the rest of the incident and highlights the fact that police basically had no choice but to take Taylor into custody.
Cops who responded to a neighbor’s call on the night of February 17, 2023 determined that Taylor was the “primary aggressor,” and she eventually pled guilty to assault charges.
ABC cast her as the Bachelorette despite that history, and if video of Paul assaulting Mortensen had never surfaced, the network almost certainly would have aired her season in its entirety.
The video from the night of her arrest shows Taylor heavily intoxicated and highly upset.
At times, it’s difficult to make out what she’s saying. She admits to hitting Mortensen but also alleges that he “pushed” her.
In footage shot by Dakota, we saw Taylor hurling kitchen barstools at him, one of which allegedly struck her daughter, Indy, who was just 5 years old at the time.
“You can hear me trying to check on [Indy], but every time I tried to help her, I was getting attacked,” Mortensen tells officers in the bodycam footage. “So I couldn’t.”
Elsewhere in the footage, an officer asks Mortensen if Taylor urinated on herself, adding that it’s “very common” for domestic violence victims to “pee themselves.”
“If she peed herself, it’s because she was so intoxicated,” Mortensen explained.
Taylor Frankie Paul’s arrest video has left fans shocked. (YouTube)
Taylor’s parents also arrived on the scene and made their case to police, but to no avail.
“Is it super bad?” Paul asks the officers about her potential legal troubles as they inspect her damaged home in aftermath of the fight.
“Well, no one’s dead, so it’s not super bad, right? But it’s not a good thing, it’s definitely not a good thing,” one of the officers replies, adding:
“It’s not the end of the world. You will get past this, trust me. I would use this as a really good learning lesson. If you need to get some help for any issues, get it.”
Earlier this week, Taylor lashed out at the public for making such a big deal about her arrest and forcing her daughter to “relive” the night in question (the night when her mother threw a barstool in her direction).
We can certainly see why she would want to leave this night behind her.
But it would be good for Taylor to acknowledge that she screwed up royally and that she probably never should have been cast as the Bachelorette to begin with.
