  • Bounty Returns as the Ultimate Wingman

    The Quicker Picker Upper is back with NFL Star Rob Gronkowski and brings in rookie for his Wingman, sportscaster Charissa Thompson, to give fans the winning play against gameday’s messiest food: wings + Bounty

    CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Back for its fourth year, the Bounty is Your Wingman campaign is built on the simple, saucy truth: you can’t have football without wings, and you can’t have wings without Bounty. As NFL fans across the country gear up for the most-watched games of the year, Bounty is once again showing up where it belongs, at the center of wing-filled watch parties, handling every spill, drip, and sticky-finger so fans can focus on the fun.

    Gronk and Charissa are joined by more than 20 NFL players from across the league, each paired with their own wingman to share stories from messy game-day feasts, their love of football, and what it really means to be a wingman. Content will roll out across Instagram throughout the playoffs and Super Bowl season.

    Why Wings, Why Bounty?

    According to the National Chicken Council, Americans eat enough wings during the Super Bowl alone to circle the Earth more than three times if laid out end-to-end.* Just imagine the mess.

    As the MVP of clean, Bounty is twice as absorbent as ordinary paper towels, so fans can use less and get the job done with just one sheet.**

    Enter Rob Gronkowski & Charissa Thompson

    With that many wings in play, Bounty called in NFL legend and longtime partner Rob Gronkowski (aka Gronk), along with his newest wingman, sportscaster, on-air co-host, and real-life friend Charissa Thompson. Together, Gronk and Charissa are giving fans a front-row seat into how they really do gameday at home.

    “I go big on game day, big plays, big energy, and a ton of extra saucy wings,” said Gronk. “As the Bounty Man, I know mess happens, so Charissa and I call in Bounty, the only paper towel tough enough to keep the game going.”

    “Gronk and I go way back, and while fans might be used to seeing us together on camera, we’ve logged just as much time hanging out at each other’s watch parties,” said Charissa Thompson. “And anyone who has been to a Gronk watch party knows a mess is guaranteed. That’s why I’m excited to team up with Bounty so fans can enjoy every part of gameday, the fun, the food and yes, even the mess.”

    Bounty Takes Over Super Bowl LX Media Center

    It’s game on at Super Bowl Radio Row from February 2 – 6, 2026 at The George R. Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco with the annual Bounty House of Wingman. This year, Bounty takes the watch party experience to the next level with a two-story, 1,200 square foot smart home – anticipated to be an unforgettable standout at the Super Bowl media hub.

    The highlights:

    • Tens of thousands of chicken wings served to hungry reporters
    • Live interviews, photo ops, and content creation with Gronk, Charissa, and NFL Wingmen
    • A “front-lawn” football challenge, where attendees can launch footballs through an oversized roll of Bounty and race the clock for a high score

    The experience brings together food, fun, football, and of course plenty of Bounty to pick up the mess.

    Helping Fans Gear Up for Gameday at Home

    And it doesn’t stop there; Bounty is helping fans gear up for their own watch parties at home by offering a limited time coupon for up to $3 off select packs of Bounty starting today, making it easier to stock up and stay ready for the messiest Sunday of the year.

  • Wood Green library services temporarily relocate to Clarendon Recovery College from today

    Library services in Wood Green reopened today (Thursday 8 January 2026) at Clarendon Recovery College temporarily while essential improvement works are carried out to the main library.

    The college has a quiet study area for pupils and students looking to do homework or revise for exams in peace, while there’s also a warm space for residents to socialise and shelter away from the cold and inclement weather.

    Located at 32 Clarendon Road (N8 ODJ), you can access free Wi-Fi on your devices, read daily newspapers, pick up reserved titles and return library items as well.

    The opening hours for library services at Clarendon Recovery College are as follows:

    Monday-Friday: 10am-6pm.

    Saturday: 10am-5pm.

    Sunday: Closed.

    The improvement works to Wood Green Library, which include repairs to the alarms, ceilings, passenger lift, service cupboards and water supply/system, are due to be completed in April 2026.

    We will reopen some sections of Wood Green Library before then, if it’s possible for us to do so. We apologise for any disruption and inconvenience this may cause.

    The on-site Customer Service Centre at Wood Green Library will remain fully open for the duration of the project along with Eat Wood Green, Haringey Learns and Haringey Works.

    Access to Eat Wood Green (including the first-floor growing terrace) will remain open throughout the works and we’re seeking to schedule work on the second floor (Haringey Learns and Haringey Works) over weekends and during the February half-term holidays. Every effort is being made to keep disruption to a minimum.

    The partial closure will ensure the facility continues to comply with relevant fire, health and building safety regulations, ensuring the ongoing safety of all residents who use the library and other services in the building.

    Residents are advised that they can visit all other libraries in the borough to access books and other library resources. You can find your nearest, alternative library on the Haringey Council website.

    You can find details of opening times on our website, where you can also explore our digital offer, including audiobooks, digital magazines, e-books and newspapers.
