The Miami Heat finally made it official—Terry Rozier is out. No surprises here, just the Heat cutting ties right before the waiver deadline like everyone saw coming.
News:
We kick things off with some early-season fireworks in the MLB. Reynaldo López and Jorge Soler got into a full-on bench-clearing brawl after a homer and a hit-by-pitch turned into fists flying—Lopez still gripping the baseball while throwing punches. Suspensions came down, appeals were made, and the league settled on five games… but the tone for the season? Set immediately.
Meanwhile, Floyd Mayweather Jr. is dealing with a $7.3 million IRS lien while also suing Showtime for $340 million. Oh—and he’s rebooking a rematch with Manny Pacquiao. Is it still “Money” Mayweather… or something else entirely?
Tragedy struck as former NFL/UFL corner Chris Payton-Jones passed away at 30 following a wrong-way crash.
More off-field issues:
Ted Ginn Jr. arrested for suspected DUI
Markquese Bell picked up on drug charges (and somehow already has a closed case??)
Former Seahawk Rickey Thenarse shot in LA and recovering after surgery
And in a potentially HUGE story, the United States Department of Justice is investigating the National Football League over streaming costs and antitrust concerns. Fans paying nearly $1,000 just to watch games? Yeah… that might be a problem.
This Week’s Biggest Pickle :
Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini—and what might be the most allegedly messy situation of the year.
From Arizona pro days to a luxury Sedona resort, pool time, hot tubs, rooftop sunsets, and “just friends” statements… the timeline isn’t helping anyone here. The The Athletic is now investigating, Russini is off reporting duties, and Vrabel is suddenly not speaking at pressers.
Six people there? Maybe.
Looks innocent? Not really.
Internet detectives? Already on it.
This one has everything—money, drama, suspensions, investigations, and a “just friends” story that absolutely nobody is buying.
