Rodney Atkins says he's been a CMA member for over 20 years, and he's played CMA Fest 'countless' times.
But he's not attending the CMA Awards this year — because he says they denied him and his wife, singer-songwriter Rose Falcon, red carpet access. 😲
Atkins revealed that news just one day after Sammy Kershaw posted about being in a similar situation.
The singer says he believes that "the artists who helped build the foundation of country music, like Sammy Kershaw, deserve a place in its celebrations."
But Atkins didn't lose focus on the people who've made his career so special: The fans.
"You've always made me feel welcome in country music, and that's what matters most," Atkins says, noting that he's having "the best touring year of my career" and that his his newest single could give him charting songs across three different decades.

"إذا انقطع النت يوم الأحد الساعة ٦، تعالوا للبيت من دون حرج. بعرف إن هالوقت غالي على زوجتك.
عرفت خط أبوي من أول نظرة. سألت جارنا " شو يقصد بالساعة ٦؟"
قال زوجتي ما بتسمع من يوم انولدت. بنتنا الوحيدة تزوجت قبل ٧ سنين وراحت تعيش برا البلد. من يوم راحت، وهي ترن علينا فيديو كل أحد الساعة ٦ المغرب. زوجتي بتستنى هالمكالمة طول الأسبوع، لأنها بتقدر تشوف بنتها وتحكي معها بلغة الإشارة."
مرّ جارنا بظروف مادية صعبة واضطر يلغي اشتراك النت. يوم عرف أبوي، قاله "استخدموا شبكتنا، ولا تهكلوا هم."
حاول يدفعله كل شهر، وأبوي يرفض. بحكيله "ما بدي اياكم تفكروا بالمصاري وأنتوا بتحكوا مع بنتكم."
وقفت مصدوم. أبوي كان يسلّم على الجيران ويحترمهم، بس قليل ما يحكي معهم، وعمره ما جابلي سيرة هالموضوع.
قال جارنا "حتى الإشارة يوم كانت ضعيفة عنا، أبوك شرى مقوّي من حسابه وركّبه بحاله. وغيّر مكان الراوتر عندكم أكثر من مرة لحد ما زبطت الإشارة ببيتنا."
وقتها تذكّرت كل حدا كنت أزور فيه أبوي. إذا اجت الساعة ٦ وشافني أتابع مقاطع أو أحمّل ملفات أو ألعب أونلاين، يقولي «خليه بعد الساعة ٧."
كنت أقوله وأنا متضايق "ليه يابا؟ الشبكة شبكتنا!"
يبتسم ويحكي «ساعة وحدة بس يا ابني. من ٦ إلى ٧."
كنت أفكرها عادة غريبة عنده. وأحيانًا كنت اعمل حالي ما سمعت وأكمّل. ما كنت اعرف إن فيه أم بالبيت اللي جنبنا بتستنى هالساعة من أسبوع لأسبوع.
قلت لجارنا "آسف، هسا بنرجّع الاتصال."
رحت معه لبيته. زوجته كانت قاعدة بالصالة، والجهاز اللوحي بين أيديها. يوم شافتني، قامت وحكت معي بلغة الإشارة. اتطلعت على جارنا أستنى يترجملي، وقال:
"بتحكيلك بلّغ أبوك شكرها… مثل كل مرة."
نزّلت راسي. كانت تشكر أبوي على معروف اله سنين يسويه، وأنا ابنه ومن شوي دريت عنه.
دخلت كلمة المرور الجديدة، ورجع النت. اتصلت ببنتها على طول. ويوم طلع وجه بنتها على الشاشة، ابتسمت وتغيّر وجهها كله. صارت ايديها تتحرك بسرعة، وبنتها ترد عليها، والثنتين يضحكوا كأنهم قاعدات في نفس الصالة.
وقفت شوي أتفرّج عليهم، وبعدين طلعت بهدوء.
يوم رجعت لبيتنا، اتطلعت على الراوتر اللي جنب الشباك. كم مرة استغربت ليش أبوي حاطّه في مكان الإشارة منه ما بتوصل منيح لكل غرف البيت. هسا عرفت ليش اختار هالمكان بالذات.
أرسلت لجارنا "استخدموا الشبكة مثل قبل. وإذا غيّرت كلمة المرور مرة ثانية، أنا برسلها الكم."
ردّ عليّ "الله يجزاك خير. أبوك ساعدنا مرة ثانية عن طريقك."
قريت الرسالة ونزلت دموعي.
من يوم توفّى أبوي وأنا بفكر إني بعرف كل شيء عنه. وفي هداك الصباح، عرفت إن فيه ناس كان يوقف معهم، وأوقات كان يحفظها الهم، ومعروف يسويه من سنين بدون ما يجيب سيرة لحدا.
أكثر شيء ندمت عليه إني كنت أتضايق من طلبه يوم الأحد. ساعة كنت أستكثر عليه أترك فيها التلفون، كانت تكفي أم تشوف بنتها وتضحك معها.
ومن بين كل اللي تركه أبوي، هالساعة من أغلى الأشياء عندي. عرفتها بعد ما راح، وقدرت أخليها تستمر.

A rogue corgi just hijacked the Panthers-Broncos halftime and led staff on a 40-yard comedy chase that Scott Hanson called like an actual play.
During the Panthers’ corgi race at Bank of America Stadium, one of the dogs decided the finish line was optional. It broke free, hit open field, and spent roughly 40 seconds juking, cutting, and forcing multiple staffers into full-speed dives that mostly hit nothing but turf. It paused near midfield to check itself on the big video board, then kept going until a group effort finally corralled it around the 40.
Hanson treated it like a RedZone highlight: “They can’t get him at the 40. They can’t get him at the 45! He’s at midfield! The corgi is loose, he’s checking to his left, checking to his right!” The dog in the blue vest looked completely unbothered the whole time.
Carolina’s actual defense has had its moments this season, but nothing quite matched the energy of four grown adults failing to catch a 25-pound dog with short legs and a vest. No one got hurt, the second half eventually started, and the Broncos won 26-21. The corgi still walked away with the unofficial Week 9 lead in broken tackles.

977 days in a shelter. Not one meet and greet. Sam is getting closer to 1,000 days waiting for someone to choose him. Please don’t let him be forgotten. 💔

I picked up a $140 takeout order for my family tonight and left a $10 cash tip at the counter
The cashier looked down at the $10 bill, looked at the screen, and said: "That’s under 10%"
I thought he was joking. "It's a takeout order, I drove here to pick it up myself."
He called the shift manager over.
She stepped up to the counter and said: "If you can afford $140 in food, you can afford a minimum 20% tip for our kitchen staff."
I said: "Tipping on takeout is optional. You didn't seat us, serve us, or clean a table."
She replied: "Then we have the right to refuse service," and pointed toward the line behind me.
I could feel every eye in the restaurant on my back, trying to publicly shame me into handing over another $18 for a bag of food I was carrying out myself.
So I made a decision right there.
I told her to cancel the entire $140 order, refund my card, and walked out.
I don't have a problem tipping for good service. I have a problem with businesses using public guilt and employee shaming to make customers subsidize hourly wages they refuse to pay.
Was canceling the order justified, or is expecting 20% on takeout normal now

Calmest guy at the polling place today in NH was the 18-year old that got swung at. We want conversation, not violence!

Heartbreaking news out of Mt. Lebanon. 💔 Those innocent little kids had their whole lives ahead of them, and to have their lives taken by the very person who was supposed to protect them is beyond heartbreaking. Just a cowardly and senseless act. My heart goes out to those babies and especially their mother, who is living through a nightmare no parent should ever have to experience. Let’s keep her and the entire family in our prayers. 🙏🏽💔

People still treat hard training like it has no ceiling. Train as hard as you want, push through the pain, and your body will adapt. Rachel Apa just showed how wrong that idea can be.
She was 24, a former Division I field hockey player at Bucknell, in peak shape, running her first New York City Marathon. Two miles from the finish in Central Park on Sunday she collapsed. Her father said she died of rhabdomyolysis an extreme exertion that ruptures muscle fibers and floods the system with toxins that can trigger cardiac arrest.
Around mile 18 she texted her dad that she was hurting. She kept going. Elite discipline can override the signals the body is sending that something is wrong.
Pushing through severe pain is not always strength. Sometimes it is the last thing that happens.
Hi @SistersInBiz would you please share for me? Anyone looking to adopt, this multi-rescue event is for you!
