Nick O'Leary (TE Las Vegas Raiders)

Raiders' Nick O'Leary reveals he underwent two heart procedures last month, plans to play in 2021

O'Leary will miss this season after suffering a heart attack


In late May, the Las Vegas Raiders placed tight end Nick O'Leary on the Reserve/NFI list. At the time, many thought he was hanging up the cleats for good, but O'Leary revealed on Monday that he was dealing with a serious heart issue that put his career in jeopardy. According to the Palm Beach Post, O'Leary had surgery to clear 100 percent blockage to the heart last month, but is expected to make a full recovery and is hoping he can resume his football career next season. O'Leary underwent an angioplasty on May 19 -- one of two procedures he had to correct this issue.

"I feel good," O'Leary said. "I feel better than I did before. I've got to be on blood thinners for six months to a year. That's really the only reason now why I can't play football. If I (got cut), they said that would be the biggest problem, wouldn't be able to stop the bleeding."

O'Leary was working out when he felt a sharp pain in his left arm that moved to his chest, and it was a pain that came back again while he was playing pickleball with his brother.

"I said sarcastically to my brother there's something wrong with my heart, I don't know what it is," O'Leary said. "I happened to go to the hospital, and they told me it was a heart attack."

Eric Monroe (DB LSU, transfer to ???)

Eric Monroe enters NCAA Transfer Portal

Another LSU player has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, and this time, it's a former Top 50 prospect on 247Sports.

On Friday, sources confirmed with 247Sports that LSU senior safety Eric Monroe had entered his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal. The new was first reported by AL.com's Matt Zenitz.

The news of Monroe's departure comes soon after the Tigers began voluntary summer workouts in Baton Rouge. Monroe is set to be a senior with one year of eligibility remaining after taking a redshirt at LSU during his first season in 2016. Monroe then saw the field across three seasons from 2017-19, where he saw action in 29 games with 21 tackles, one tackle for loss and two pass breakups.

Monroe appeared in all 13 games and made a start against Auburn during his redshirt freshman season in 2017, but was slowed in 2018 by injuries and appeared in just four games. During LSU's run to a National Championship this past season, Monroe played in 12 games, seeing time in the defensive backfield and on special teams.

The Houston (Texas) North Shore product was one the No. 1 safety in the country on 247Sports coming out of high school in the 2016 class, choosing the Tigers over Texas A&M and double-digit other scholarships. He was ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation's No. 55 overall prospect and the No. 3 safety in the country.

While Monroe has entered his name into the transfer portal, he is able to remove his name and return to LSU, if he so chooses. It's unclear which programs Monroe might be looking at for a potential landing spot, though with his name into the transfer portal, coaches at other schools are now able to open lines of communication with the fifth-year LSU defensive back.

OL/K Regis Monahan (All-American, B1G Champion, OSU HOF, NFL Champion, R.I.P.)

  • Regis Monahan
Football (1932-34)
Regis Monahan, a Pittsburgh native, played for the Buckeyes from 1932-34 as a guard and tackle while also doubling as a kicker. In 1934, he was a team captain and First Team All-American while helping Ohio State win a share of its first Big Ten title in 14 years. Monahan also famously appeared on the front of a Wheaties box in 1935.

With Monahan leading the way on the line, Ohio State went 18-3-3 from 1932-34 and had one of the nation’s most explosive offenses his senior year in 1934. That Buckeye team compiled 267 points in just eight games and scored 30 or more points five times. He went on to the play four professional seasons with the Detroit Lions from 1935-38 and was part of the Lions’ 1935 NFL championship team.

LB Aaron Brown (All B1G, All-American, B1G Champion, OSU HOF)

  • Aaron Brown
Football (1974-77)
An unsung hero on some great Ohio State defenses, Aaron Brown lettered in football from 1974 through 1977 and was a part of Big Ten championship teams in 1974 and 1975. Described as soft-spoken and respected by all his teammates, Brown was a three-year starter for head coach Woody Hayes at nose tackle and currently ranks No. 15 all-time with 314 career tackles. Brown also added 32.0 career tackles for loss. In Brown’s senior season of 1977, in which he was a captain for the Buckeyes, he was named a First Team All-American and closed his career with 14 solo tackles against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Brown still ranks 10th in program history in career tackle for loss yards with minus 181 and second in single-game TFL yards (minus 42 vs. Minnesota in 1976).

A member of four teams that won at least a share of the Big Ten title, Brown played in two Rose Bowl games along with an Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The teams he was a part of had an overall record of 39-8-1 with a 29-3 mark in conference play. Brown was drafted in 1978 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and went on to have a 10-year career with the Bucs, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and Winnipeg of the Canadian Football League. In 2000, he was selected to the Ohio State All-Century Team by the Columbus Dispatch.

Penn State Football (Still Iowa)

I'm with you. I don't like to see stats go against me, and the more filters you put on the stats to make them look good, the more it looks like we're shoving a square peg into a round hole.

But how about this? Since 2011 (the first year of the BTCG), Ohio State is 7-2 against them, with 4 Big Ten championships. They needed a crazy play to get one one of those wins, and their only Big Ten championship in that time. And their other win was against a Buckeye team that had to struggle to beat Illinois and Toledo. Also note that in that same time frame, Penn State has a nearly identical record (8-2) against combined Maryland and Pitt.

Any comparisons between the two would be like an MMA fight between me and Conor Mcgregor. Spoiler alert: I'd lose. Quickly.


get him on the ground while you still have some wind, then bite something off

spit it out and bite again, repeat as many times as necessary until police arrive (unless they've been abolished, then you are likely fucked)

WHATEVER YOU DO......DO NOT LET GO

2018: DWAYNE HASKINS DROPS A DIME ON TERRY MCLAURIN FOR SIX
Ohio State's 45-24 defeat of Northwestern was pretty methodical and relatively boring, all things considered, but two plays by Dwayne Haskins and Terry McLaurin stick out.

The first, which didn't make the list, opened the scoring as Haskins, on 3rd-and-11, scrambled to buy time before finding McLaurin for a 16-yard touchdown to open the scoring. The play almost made the cut because Haskins, uncharacteristically, didn't look like C3PO while on the move in the pocket.

Later in the first half, with Ohio State leading 17-7, the duo went back to work for a play that did make this list.

Staring down a 3rd-and-20 from the Northwestern 42, Haskins dropped back, looked left, pump faked, and shifted to his right before uncorking an absolute teardrop to pretty well-covered McLaurin at the goal line for the score.

It was a stunner of a throw, even for Haskins.

2017: TERRY MCLAURIN SHIFTS INTO OVERDRIVE WITH 81-YARD TOUCHDOWN CATCH
Lol Terry McLaurin is fast.

Ohio State got on the board first the 2017 conference title game as J.T. Barrett found McLaurin down the middle for an 81-yard pitch and catch for an early 7-0 lead.

This poor defensive back is helpless as McLaurin gets about a 10-yard sprinter's head start before he realizes what's up.

The end result is the longest touchdown pass of Barrett's career in what became a 27-21 Ohio State victory.

2013: BRAXTON MILLER FINDS PHILLY BROWN FOR A 20-YARD TOUCHDOWN
I almost ruled any touchdown from the 2013 Big Ten title game as ineligible considering the Buckeyes lost 34-24 to Michigan State but this was a hell of a pitch and catch.

Trailing 17-0 midway through the second quarter and in desperate need of some momentum, Ohio State took possession at its own 16 yard line.

Braxton Miller finally asserted himself on a 48-yard zig-zag on 2nd-and-8 giving OSU some life at the Spartan 34. After an 11-yard toss to Philly Brown and a Carlos Hyde 3-yard run, Braxton received a shotgun snap on 2nd-and-7 from the Michigan State 20.

Looking straight down the seam, Braxton fired rocket over the defense and into the outstretched hands of Brown. Great throw, even better catch.

The play ignited a 24-0 scoring run from the Buckeyes before they allowed Sparty to score the game's final 17 points.
