London Tipton and Brenda Song don’t have a lot in common – except when it comes to football.

The actress best known for her role as Tipton in the Disney Channel series, “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” now stars on Netflix’s “Running Point” as Ali Lee, the Los Angeles Waves chief of staff. Perhaps her next role will be in an NFL broadcast booth.

Song is a diehard Los Angeles Rams fan that made headlines in 2025 following an appearance on “Mythical Kitchen,” where she spoke about Rams’ defensive coordinator, Chris Shula, and the team’s inability to stop the run. The interview resulted in Song being quickly awarded the “ball-knower” badge from the internet.

It eventually led to Song being given the opportunity to showcase her knowledge and broadcasting skills during a Rams’ preseason game against the New Orleans Saints on Aug. 22.

Social media quickly showed that the football knowledge was also something Song’s character, Tipton, wasn’t afraid to showcase either.

In other words, don’t ask Tipton what the gearshift is. But do ask Tipton, and Song, how to beat a Cover-2 defense on the gridiron.

Song spent the entire third quarter in the Rams’ broadcast booth. Here’s a look at some of the highlights.

Brenda Song Rams broadcast highlights

Moments after putting on the headset, Song had her first highlight reel-worthy play – a 25-yard completion from the Saints‘ Spencer Rattler to Jalen Moreno-Cropper.

Later in the drive, it was a big play for the Rams as Alex Cook jumped in front of a Rattler pass for a 100-yard pick-six. That would extend the home team’s lead to 27-0.

Most of Song’s appearance centered around casual conversation, especially with the Rams up big on the Saints. Later in the quarter, a similar sequence played out for the rookie broadcaster.

CJ Donaldson dodged tacklers for a 32-yard gain and a Saints highlight.

A few plays later, the Rams came up with another turnover.

Song’s debut earned some rave reviews on social media, even if she did let her Rams bias show. If she opted to pursue this as a career, her employer would likely want some more objectivity going forward.

Then again, it’s the NFL preseason – a place where the weird and whimsy are supposed to live.

Maybe Song’s future isn’t in scripted television. Maybe it’s in live sports.
