(CNN) — When 90s boy band *NSYNC were at the height of their fame, their tour bus was followed by a “stampede” of fans on one specific occasion, Justin Timberlake recalled while appearing on Thursday’s episode of “Hot Ones” with the group.He described how he and his bandmates – Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone – watched this group of fans follow their bus through a giant field that had a hole in the middle of it – into which they all fell.“I felt terrible,” Timberlake said, adding that on a separate occasion, the *NSYNC fandom was so wild that they returned to their hotel suite to find a fan had somehow snuck in.The anecdotes were just a few that the recently-reunited boy band reminisced about while appearing on Season 22 of the famed hot wing interview show – including Timberlake mentioning how he did in fact get a “note” from a producer to pronounce “me” like “may” in their 2000 hit song “It’s Gonna Be Me.”The pronunciation of the word spawned a viral meme ...

With the American League East still unsecured, the Orioles can’t quite turn their attention to the playoffs just yet. But with one week left in the regular season, decisions loom for Baltimore.Regardless of whether the Orioles win the division for the first time since 2014 or collapse to disappointingly settle for a wild-card spot, their roster will reduce from 28 players back to 26 come the postseason, though they can make changes between each round. Those two reductions could come in any number of ways, with Baltimore’s final six games and the momentum various players take into the playoffs likely to factor into those choices.As the final week of the regular season begins, here are three questions the Orioles face when it comes to their initial playoff roster.1.
