Kansas City Chiefs’ Rashee Rice will miss mandatory practice due to jail time

Some would argue that the Kansas City Chiefs were a little thin at the top of their wide receiver corps ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy lead the group, but those two starters are still a bit unproven at the NFL level.

The Chiefs were viewed as a candidate to select a receiver in the first round of the draft. They opted not to do this, instead giving the defense a big boost by going with cornerback Mansur Delaney and defensive tackle Peter Woods. Kansas City, meanwhile, did not select a receiver until the fifth round of the draft.

Now the Chiefs’ already thin receiver room will become even more inexperienced during the team’s OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

According to ESPN’s Nate Taylor, Rice, 26, will serve 30 days in jail “in May 2024 as part of pleading guilty to felony counts of causing serious bodily injury in a multicar crash in Dallas and felony counts of causing bodily injury by running on a highway.”

Previous reports suggested that Rice had violated his probation after allegedly testing positive for marijuana.

Either way, Rice has been ordered to spend 30 days in jail, meaning he’s in line to miss the Chiefs’ OTAs and mandatory minicamp.

Kansas City’s OTAs run from May 26-28 and June 1-3. The team’s mandatory minicamp will run from June 9-11. Based on reports from the Dallas County, Texas Criminal District Court, Rice is scheduled to be released from custody on June 16.

His expected absence will give other Chiefs receivers a chance to gain some valuable reps, yet Kansas City could still add another pass-catcher, potentially reuniting with an old friend.

Newcastle United player swaps jail sentence for hefty fine – would rather pay up

newcastle united Midfielder Sandro Tonali has had a prison sentence converted to a hefty fine to end a long-running illegal betting case against him and others in Italy.

Corriere Della Sera reports on the case today. They say Tonali asked for a fine of €78,250 rather than a prison sentence to drop the case.

Newcastle United star punished

The newspaper reports that sentencing has now been handed down over the case, with Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli facing prison sentences and being suspended by FIFA.

The two organizers of the case were sentenced to two years, three months and two years in prison. Meanwhile, three partners who own Milanese jewelery company Elysium Group SRL were sentenced to two and a half years in prison on money laundering charges.

That business served as a vehicle for footballers to pay off gambling debts. He would make regular bank transfers to buy luxury Rolex watches that he never collected. The watches were actually fake.

Tonali chooses penalty

Newcastle United midfielder and Fagioli were the prominent names in this case. But 18 other people including football players were also fined.

But Sandro Tonali and Nicolo Fagioli face additional punishment in the Milan criminal case. He was also accused of advertising illegal platforms to other players. There is a provision for a jail sentence of up to three months and a fine for that offence.

A plea bargain reduced it to a month, but the pair went their separate ways. While Fagioli opted for a suspended sentence, Tonali requested a fine be issued. It was assigned at €78,250 with an extended exchange rate of €250 per day.

This brings the matter to an end, giving Tonali and Fagioli a new lease of life to move forward. This could be crucial, particularly for the Newcastle man, who has been heavily linked with a potential return to Italy this summer.

Manchester United fan who abused Marcus Rashford sentenced to jail

A fan who racially abused of manchester united Marcus Rashford has been sentenced to nine months in prison at Barcelona.

sports world report A fan who shouted ‘racist insults’ at Rashford has been sentenced by the Provincial Court of Oviedo.

Marcus Rashford’s misbehavior leads to punishment

The newspaper reports that the court handed down its sentence on Wednesday against a man accused of racist insults at the Manchester United forward.

The matter came to light following a complaint filed by La Liga. The defendant has been convicted of the crime of ‘outraging the dignity of persons’ for racist reasons. He was sentenced to the following punishment:

  • nine months in jail
  • Fined for six months at a daily rate of €5.
  • Special disqualification from any profession or occupation relating to education, sports and leisure activities for a period of three years and nine months.
  • Ban on entry into football stadiums at any level for a period of three years.

La Liga gets tough on racism

Mundo Deportivo reports that this is the eleventh decision La Liga has received in the fight against racism.

The Spanish league is keen to continue reaffirming its ‘commitment and leadership’ against racism. They have been emphasizing awareness-raising, detection, and legal action since 2020.

The newspaper says they have become a ‘leading organisation’ against racism and hatred both inside and outside the stadium. This is despite the lack of authority to sanction clubs, fans, coaches or players for such conduct.

The conviction over the abuse of the Manchester United forward is being seen as another achievement in his fight against racism.

The 28-year-old joined Barcelona in the summer and has scored 13 goals and provided 13 assists in 45 games in all competitions for the Catalan giants this season. The deal includes an option to buy in the summer transfer window, which Marcus Rashford would prefer.

Sharon Moore’s mistress is angry after former Michigan coach avoids jail – ‘I fear for my life’

Former Michigan football coach Sharon Moore avoided jail earlier this week when a judge sentenced her on two misdemeanor charges. The allegations stemmed from a confrontation with a former staff member with whom she had an inappropriate relationship.

Moore pleaded no contest last month to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device in a domestic relationship. More serious charges – including felony home invasion and stalking – were dismissed as part of the deal.

This horrific incident occurred on the same day that Moore was fired by the University of Michigan. The case centered on the former coach’s uninvited visit to the apartment of his former executive assistant and mistress Paige Shiver, shortly after she dropped her case.

According to the investigation and its description, Moore entered the residence, became emotional and grabbed a kitchen knife, threatening to harm herself.

There was a shudder at the judge’s decision. In a public statement released after the hearing, he made it clear that the sentence did not match the trauma he experienced.

According to the New York Post, he said, “December 10 was the most terrible day of my life.” “The criminal acts he committed were extremely horrific and violent. He burst into my apartment crying, screaming, angry, and attacked me with knives. I was threatened, and I feared for my life.”

“Today’s sentence does not reflect the harm I suffered or the objective evidence in this case.”

Paige Shivers criticizes ‘sweetheart’ probation sentence: ‘I feared for my life’

The sentencing marks another chapter in Moore’s rapid decline. Once the Wolverines’ interim and then full head coach, he was fired due to the scandal surrounding the affair.

But the judge’s decision drew criticism that the former coach got a sweetheart deal, first with the plea bargain and then with the judge’s leniency. The judge reportedly took note of Moore’s wife’s support during the hearing, but warned that if Moore stepped out of line again, he would not be so forgiving.

“When I look at the totality of this situation I do not believe that imprisonment should be appropriate,” the judge said in sentencing. “I warn you, Mr. Moore, if there is a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I have no problem doing it.”

It appears that he has clearly had a problem doing so in this case.

Former Michigan coach Sharon Moore avoids jail after shocking crash after shooting

Former Michigan football coach Sharon Moore was sentenced to probation Tuesday after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor counts — trespassing and malicious use of telecommunications equipment in a domestic relationship.

The charges stemmed from a confrontation at the apartment of a female employee with whom he had an inappropriate relationship.

Prosecutors dropped more serious felony charges, including home invasion and stalking, as part of a plea agreement. Moore, 40, must pay a fine of just over $1,000, continue counseling, abstain from drugs and alcohol, surrender any firearms and have no contact with the victim.

The judge warned Moore that if he overstepped his bounds again, he would not be as lenient.

District Court Judge Cedric Simpson said in sentencing, “When I look at the totality of this situation I do not believe that imprisonment should be appropriate.” “I warn you, Mr. Moore, if there is a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I have no problem doing it.”

Judge saves Sharon Moore from jail sentence, praises wife he cheated on while punishing coach for spreading pain to victim

The case dates back to Dec. 10 — the same day Michigan fired Moore after he admitted to having an extramarital affair with his executive assistant.

The situation became worse after his dismissal. Moore was charged with serious criminal charges for allegedly vandalizing his mistress’s home. According to the victim, Paige Shivers – his former executive assistant and personal assistant – Moore burst into her apartment uninvited while crying, yelling and angry. He grabbed a butter knife, threatened to harm himself and attacked her with the knife, leaving her in fear for her life.

The two had been in a relationship for about two years, a fact Koch acknowledged in discussion with police on the night of the encounter. This, along with many other details, came to light following sworn testimony by a detective at a complaints authority hearing.

The judge continued to punish Moore for his actions.

“Frankly, Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did,” Simpson said. “I know she was in fear. It was a traumatic experience for you – it was certainly a traumatic experience for her – but you had no right to extend your pain to her.”

Shiver, who did not attend the hearing, issued a statement saying the sentence “does not reflect the harm I have suffered” and accused the university of failing to protect her from years of manipulation and harassment.

The judge praised Moore’s wife for her support and said it influenced the lenient sentence.

Simpson said, “The person who is protecting you from the full wrath of this court is the person you betrayed.” “When all the situations are happening to her, and she’s absorbing them in real time, she never once loses her focus, never once glances at you to be suspicious, never once wants anything terrible to happen to you.”

He then told Moore’s wife: “If there were more people like you in the world, I’d probably be out of a job, but the world would be a better place.”

I’m not sure how helping someone avoid accountability for terrorizing their mistress translates into a better world.

Tiger Woods formally charged with DUI after Florida rollover crash, faces possible jail time

Golf great Tiger Woods was officially charged with two misdemeanors this week — driving under the influence with property damage and refusing to submit to a chemical or physical test following his single-vehicle rollover crash late last month.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck by crossing the double line and speeding, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

“I looked down at my phone … and all of a sudden – acceleration,” Woods said in the bodycam footage.

He also called President Trump after the crash and just before failing some field sobriety tests, seemingly trying to dissuade authorities from turning him in.

Officers at the scene observed “severe signs of impairment”, including bloodshot eyes, extremely dilated pupils, excessive sweating and an unsteady gait. A breathalyzer test found no alcohol, but Woods refused blood or urine tests to check for other substances. Officers later found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.

Woods was arrested that afternoon on suspicion of DUI with property damage, booked and released on bond a few hours later. He has since entered a not guilty plea and requested a jury trial.

The 15-time major champion has retained criminal defense attorney Douglas Duncan, the same attorney who represented him in a 2017 DUI case in Florida that ended with a guilty plea to reckless driving.

Four days after the accident, Woods released a statement announcing that he would step away from golf for treatment and focus on his health. “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation in which I find myself today,” he wrote.

“I am taking some time away to receive treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”

Court documents indicate Woods has already been cleared to travel abroad for treatment. The charge comes at a critical moment for the golfer, who has battled multiple back surgeries and other injuries in recent years and was preparing for a limited 2026 schedule that included the Masters. He will not compete at Augusta National this year.

The formal arraignment on April 7 marks the latest chapter in a case that has faced intense public scrutiny.

A court date has not yet been set. Any misdemeanor conviction carries the potential for a prison sentence as the statutory maximum penalty. However, this seems unlikely.

If convicted, the misdemeanor charge can carry a fine, probation and possible license suspension, although the penalty will depend on the outcome of any plea negotiations or trial.

‘I have no sympathy – put him in jail’

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy launched a tirade against golf legend Tiger Woods following the 50-year-old’s arrest for DUI following a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida last weekend.

Authorities say the 15-time Major champion was driving at a high rate of speed, hit a pressure-washing truck and spun his vehicle. Although he blew a 0.00 for alcohol, Woods displayed obvious signs of impairment, failed field sobriety tests, and refused a urine test – leading to charges of DUI, property damage, and refusing to submit to testing.

He was briefly held in the Martin County Jail before posting bail and was released later in the evening. Portnoy addressed the incident during his Monday episode wake up barstool show. Suffice it to say, he has no tolerance for Woods’ frequent driving problems.

In his fiery remarks, Portnoy argued that Woods should face prison for “waking up” and stopping endangering others on the road.

“When you drive while impaired, you’re not just putting yourself at risk. You’re putting someone else on the road, innocent people (at risk),” Portnoy said. “You really can’t take this lightly. I have no sympathy for that guy.”

“I don’t know anybody who’s ever flipped a car. This guy flips a car every two weeks! So, you know what? Put him behind bars, put him in jail for a while, and wake him up.”

Portnoy’s brutal move leads Tiger Woods to call for jail sentence after latest DUI rollover crash

Portnoy further explained that everyone has their vices, including him. But not everyone’s vices are a threat to those around them.

He said, “I have a lot of vices in me. … It’s my vices that put me in danger, not anyone else. Just get a driver when you drive. It’s not difficult.” “Get the driver. You’ll kill someone.”

Unfortunately, Tiger’s people are making it clear that they have no interest in appointing a driver. Sources say that he does not want anyone to keep an eye on his activities all the time or know about his whereabouts.

The golf icon insists he is perfectly capable of driving himself.

According to an unnamed source cited by the gossip outlet people magazineWoods does not like to be in the public eye. Which is extremely strange, because he keeps putting himself out there with his reckless behavior.

“He’s not a social butterfly and prefers to hang out around the house with his kids, or kick balls or play video games,” the source said. “He hates public scrutiny.”

Woods has a documented history of driving incidents dating back to 2009, when he crashed his Cadillac Escalade into a fire hydrant and tree outside his Florida home in the early morning following a domestic dispute. That controversy exposed his extramarital affairs and badly derailed his career.

In 2017, he was arrested for DUI after police found him asleep behind the wheel of a Mercedes with multiple drugs in his system, including Vicodin, Xanax, and Ambien; He later pleaded guilty to careless driving and completed a diversion program.

Then in 2021 he suffered a near-fatal single-car rollover while going more than 80 mph in Los Angeles.

This latest arrest is another blow to Woods, who has been working hard to return to the PGA Tour after back surgery and an Achilles injury. Sources close to the golfer have expressed concern over his physical and mental condition. It appears that his many injuries have caused him to become addicted to painkillers.

Let’s hope Tiger gets the help he needs before he gets to where Portnoy is suggesting.

Former WWE Champion avoids jail for welfare fraud

The son of WWE Hall of Famer “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase has avoided life in prison after being found not guilty of welfare fraud in Mississippi.

Former WWE Tag Champion Ted DiBiase Jr. has been on trial for his life since January. The one-time member of Legacy along with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes was facing six counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and theft. Two counts of theft, and four counts of money laundering related to programs receiving federal funds.

The charges were related to his alleged involvement in a massive welfare embezzlement scheme that embezzled $77 million in federal funds from Mississippi’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. If convicted on all charges, DiBiase, Jr. would have faced a sentence of 185 years. However, the former WWE player is officially a free man.

DiBiase, Jr. was found not guilty on all counts in Mississippi federal court on Friday. The Mississippi Free Press noted that the former wrestler “wept silently” as the final verdict was read.

The Free Press reports, “Finally, the defense argues that it was Mississippi Department of Human Services Director John Davis who was the villain in the trial.” “From 2017 to 2019, Davis misappropriated more than $77 million in Mississippi welfare dollars, including from numerous sports figures.

“Davis directed millions to NFL quarterback Brett Favre and actions he supported included the construction of a volleyball stadium at his alma mater and funding for Prevacus, a pharmaceutical company in which he invested heavily.”

The Green Bay Packers legend and DiBiase’s Hall of Fame father are two of the defendants in an ongoing civil lawsuit seeking to recover misappropriated funds. Davis was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his role in the scheme four years ago, while DiBiase’s brother Bret pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in 2023 and is still awaiting his sentencing.
