Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young: I do not care about football, college or professional or flag. That said, I’ve always had a soft spot for this young man, both when he was at the University of Texas, and in his professional career, and I was genuinely concerned about him when he went off the grid. Glad he made it out the other side. Netflix

Paranormal Activity marathon: I am going to be completely honest with you: I am only including this because there is literally nothing else on today. Nothing. Oh, I mean, there’s plenty of WWE to go around and golf and AEW, but in terms of actual television that you want to watch? Not so much. We are in the thick of summer TV right now, and it sucks. Anyway, I’m going to go see the Broadway show of Paranormal Activity in a couple of weeks. Yes, that’s a thing! And yes, it sounds like a terrible idea! But I’ll let you know! 3:30 p.m., The Movie Channel Xtra
