NFL comfortable with Steve Tisch continuing New York Giants duties despite past Epstein ties

21 October 2026 at 23:02

The NFL is perfectly comfortable with Steve Tisch continuing his duties as chairman of the New York Giants' board after reviewing his past associations with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Everything we've looked at we understand," commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday. "I think we're comfortable with him participating as the Giants suggest."

Goodell last January said the NFL would "look at all the facts" to determine whether an deep investigation of Tisch's relationship with Epstein was warranted.

And since then Tisch has remained front and center in the Giants war room on NFL Draft day in April and at games. He was strolling the halls of the Manhattan hotel where owners and representatives from all 32 teams gathered for the fall league meeting this week.

Tisch and Giants president and chief executive officer John Mara represented the team in the meetings.

So the sordid and scandalous emails released by the Justice Department that showed Epstein connecting Tisch with numerous women passed NFL muster.

There is no telling if more emails naming Tisch exist or any other ties to the since-deceased Epstein will be uncovered. So Goodell said the league will keep its options open.

"I think always we'll look to see if there's any new information, we'll look at it and we'll evaluate that," Goodell said.

And this feels like the NFL is applying the Jedi mind trick on everyone regarding Tisch.

First, the league seemed concerned about Tisch's ties, which led to Goodell's search for information.

Then Tisch and his siblings (Laurie and Jonathan Tisch) requested to transfer their remaining 23.1% direct ownership stake in the Giants to their children's trusts in March, following prior partial trust transfers completed in 2023 and 2024.

The final transfer was completed by September.

And that legal and financial maneuver was used by Goodell to make it seem as if Tisch was out.

"Steve, and John, and Laurie actually did some transactions as part of their estate planning and are no longer owners," Goodell said in March.

Except Tisch wasn't out. Isn't out.

He's very much in the owners' club, as proven by his attendance and participation in their meetings this week.

And so Tisch's contrite statement in which he regretted his Epstein association seems not quite so meaningful anymore.

"We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments," Tisch said in that January statement.

"I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with."

All of this is, of course, a rough look for the NFL. It's bad optics.

LPGA star Charley Hull has friend to thank for not getting drunken forehead tattoo after night out at the club

21 October 2026 at 00:03

The Smokin' Charley Hull that we all know and love almost became an unrecognizable forehead tattooed version of herself. The LPGA star and everyone else has a friend of hers to thank for not going the forehead tattoo route.

She revealed during a discussion with Golfweek that a night out drinking at a club in Ibiza at just 17 ended with her receiving a tattoo on her foot. It was a tattoo that read "hold tight" and it nearly ended up across her forehead.

When asked if she was to get a tattoo, what she would get, Charley revealed that she already had a few and told the story about her drunken night out.

"I’ve got three tattoos. I’ve got one on my foot. I got drunk when I was in Ibiza when I was 17 years old. Me and my friend James went out partying," she explained.

"I was coming back from the club, and I thought it would be a great idea to get a tattoo across my head, because me and my best mate, James, our favorite thing we always said to each other was 'Hold tight, hold tight.'"

She continued, "He wouldn’t let me get it on my forehead. Instead, I got it on my foot and it says, 'hold tight.' He got a matching one on his arm."

The next morning, Charley woke up hungover without any memory whatsoever of getting a tattoo, let alone trying to get one on her forehead.

"'Bloody hell, was I that drunk last night? I walked back with a plastic bag on my foot.' He said, 'No, Charley. That's the wrapping after you've had your tattoo,'" she said.

"I was like, 'What? I got a tattoo?' He said, 'Yeah, you were trying to get it on your forehead and we had to stop you there.'"

Charley's other two tattoos don't have quite the story that this one does. And neither of them ended up on her forehead.

She has her ex-husband's name on her wrist, which she says she's tried to have removed, and a lightning bolt on her finger to match a tattoo another of her friends has.

One out of three isn't a great average when it comes to tattoos. Two out of three is much better. Thankfully, she didn't end up with a forehead tattoo. Not many people can pull that look off.

Getting someone's name you're in a relationship with tattooed on your body is almost always a bad idea, but not as bad as an inked-up forehead is.
