true, but it's the Browns, so hiring someone like Ed would be just, well normal.

As a lifelong Browns fan, I can't argue with that.

Adrian Peterson ordered to turn over assets to pay $12M debt​

Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson has been ordered by a Houston judge to turn over numerous assets as a means toward paying a debt that is estimated at more than $12 million.

The court-appointed receiver, Robert Berleth, requested this order in July and said Peterson "is known to have numerous assets" at his home in Missouri City, Texas. The Houston judge on Monday ordered constables in Fort Bend County, Texas, to accompany Berleth to Peterson's residence to keep the peace.

Peterson's debt issues began when he took out a loan for $5.2 million from a Pennsylvania lending company in 2016. The sum has grown because of interest and attorney's fees, leading to an $8.3 million judgment against him in 2021.

"No offsets have been made against this judgment to date," the receiver stated in the July court filing.



Entertainers & Athletes Group, the public relations firm representing Peterson, issued a statement to Field Level Media on Tuesday seeking to clarify his position in the matter. EAG said "every effort to resolve this issue has been rejected" and "attempts at an amicable settlement have been rebuffed."

"The article that has surfaced contains no new information. Adrian Peterson has been dealing with this lawsuit since 2017, which stems from a business loan arranged by his then-financial advisor, Jeff Wiseman. The loan was for a company co-owned by Peterson, Wiseman, and another partner. As the majority owner, Peterson was made the guarantor of the loan, making him solely responsible for the collateral," EAG CEO Denise White said in a written statement Tuesday afternoon.

"Wiseman assured Peterson that the company would be able to repay the high-interest loan, as the funds were used to purchase equipment for the business. This was not a personal loan taken out by Peterson but a business loan, and Wiseman guaranteed that it would be repaid from the company's profits. Unfortunately, the company failed to repay the loan, leaving Peterson financially liable for the debt. Meanwhile, Wiseman, who advised Peterson to take out the loan, has not faced any financial or legal responsibility regarding the matter."

Just sayin': Apparently his business advisor Jeff Wiseman gave him really bad financial advise and just screwed him over. It is reported that Adrian Peterson's career earnings in the NFL (from 2007 thru 2021) is $103,215,972 so you have to wonder why he needed a $5.6M loan in 2016.

Stock Up/Down: Ohio State Takes Massive Strides in Run Blocking and Dominates Western Michigan, C.J. Hicks Passed By Arvell Reese on LB Depth Chart​

There’s an argument to be made for every single Ohio State starter being in the Stock Up section of this week's stock report.

The Buckeyes slaughtered Western Michigan 56-0 and looked like every bit of the national championship contender they were touted to be entering 2024. The defense posted its first shutout since 2019. The offense answered questions about its running game with a 273-yard rushing performance.
Name a position group for Ohio State, it excelled against the Broncos, plain and simple. A special teams hiccup or two will be thrown on film and coaches are always going to look for fine details to improve on, but the Buckeyes’ investments are having fantastic returns two weeks into the college football season. The same can't be said for a collection of Big Ten foes, however.

Hall of Famer Wade Boggs reveals he has prostate cancer​

Baseball Hall of Fame member Wade Boggs has prostate cancer.

The former third baseman made the announcement Saturday night on social media and sounded optimistic, saying he will be ready to take part in the ritual cancer patients have of ringing a bell when they have concluded their treatment.

"With the strength and support of my family and my faith in God I'm going to ring that damn bell," Boggs wrote, adding a photo of a prostate cancer patient guide.

Which makes me ask the question, aren’t they coaching “heads up” tacking? I saw at three possible targeting on Ohio State d-backs, all made with head down helmet on helmet hits plus the one that was called on Burke.

Click to expand...

The problem it is hard to tackle a RB who tries to spear you with a helmet with a heads up tackle you either go the legs from behind or the side which brings the head down or you take a helmet to the collarbone and catch him giving up yardage in the process. The old across the bow form of tackling I was taught as a kid doesn't work there.

USC shut out a division 1 football team (mountain west Utah state).

Not a great team, but shut them out.

Could they have done that with Alex Grinch?

Well pinch my toes and call me a jelly donut...

What a gorgeous and talented woman. Congrats to her on a great career.

Next man up!

Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin to make first start since cardiac arrest in 2023​

The safety appeared in three preseason games and five regular games last season.



Bills safety Damar Hamlin will start for the team in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, Buffalo announced Wednesday.

It will be his first start since suffering a cardiac arrest on the field in January 2023.

“What else can’t this young man do? He basically went through what he went through on the field, you guys have written about that over and over, and to come back from that,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday. “It’s one thing to come back off of an ACL or a broken bone. It’s another thing to come back off of what he came back off of, right? Let alone just to decide to play football and contact football in full pads at the NFL level. I don’t think I need to say anything more. It’s incredible.”

Weirdest things that happened in week 1:

Louisiana Tech lost the turnover battle by 5

and won 25-17

East Carolina lost the turnover battle by 4

and won 42-3

That fact alone tells you that yes... they were playing FCS schools (Nicholls State and Norfolk State), but that is still incredible

And testifies even more than the 70-burgers posted by bigger schools that games against FCS schools need to stop

And oh by the way... One of those 70-burgers was Auburns "win" over Alabama A&M

Auburn lost the turnover battle by 2 and won 73-3

Anyone remember the incident with Dusty Baker's son in the 2002 World Series?

Login to view embedded media
It even resulted in a new MLB rule: The “Darren Baker Rule” was subsequently established, requiring that bat boys be at least 14 years old.

Well, Darren Baker is grown up now and got his first MLB hit:

Watch How San Francisco Legend Reacted to Son’s First MLB Hit with Nationals​

The whirlwind call-up of Dusty Baker’s son, Darren, ended with a great moment and social media reaction from former Giants.


Dusty Baker said he had to “play it cool” with his son, Darren, when he told the San Francisco Giants legend that he was preparing to be called up to the Major Leagues for the first time.

Why? Because Dusty Baker, now 75, retired and serving as a Giants special assistant, already knew.

That’s because Washington Nationals president of baseball operations Mike Rizzo, who was once his boss when he managed the Nats, called him ahead of time so Dusty Baker and his wife, Melissa could arrange to get back to Washington D.C. on Sunday for their son’s first game.

Darren wasn’t in the starting lineup, but when the Chicago Cubs had a 14-1 lead in the ninth inning, Nationals manager Dave Martinez — who succeeded Dusty Baker — put him in as a pinch-hitter.

And Darren did this.

Green machine: Scheffler wins FedEx Cup, $25M

Scottie Scheffler pushed his season earnings to just over $62.3 million after winning the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup and its $25 million prize.

Scottie Scheffler wins PGA Tour's FedEx Cup title, $25M payday​

A Masters green jacket and an Olympic gold medal. A first-time father and his first time being arrested. A year Scottie Scheffler won't forget ended the best way possible Sunday when he won the FedEx Cup to cap off golf's best season in nearly two decades.
.
.
.
The victory pushed his season earnings, including bonuses, to just under $62.3 million.

It was the greatest year since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006, including six in a row and two majors, all while dealing with the death of his father. Scheffler's eight wins included the Masters, The Players Championship, an Olympic gold medal and the Tour Championship that enabled him to finally claim the FedEx Cup.

His seven PGA Tour titles are the most since Woods in 2007.

"We'll look back on 2024 and it's obviously one of the best individual years that a player has had for a long time," Rory McIlroy said.

Just sayin': Scottie Scheffler is having on hell of a year (on and off the golf courses).

It has been so fun to watch Scottie this year, absolute dominance considering how talented the field is. He's gotta keep it up to get in the talks with all-time greats if you look at longevity, but the last couple of years have been so damn impressive.
