The National Football League offseason is quite an interesting time. Players have a six week period where they have free reign to do whatever they want without having to report to the facility. Players will often take vacations over that time and get away before they get back to the grind of the grueling season.Best porn XXX. When they do that, sometimes things go awry. Former Buffalo Bills running back Nyheim Hynes was sitting on a jet ski fueling up when he got hit from the side and tore his ACL and MCL in the process. That not just cost him the season, but also put a major dent into his two-year, $9 million contract, as jet skiing was in his contract as a prohibited activity. Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell used to be a player in the NFL and tried to use the prohibited activities clause to get out of dancing at his own wedding. As he told ESPN’s Marc Raimondi, that didn’t work. “I tried to use that clause to get out of dancing at my own wedding,” O’Connell said with a laugh. “It didn’t necessarily work, and I was able to make it through without any injury.” O’Connell understands what the players are going through during this time of year because they often want to get out and be active. That is important for athletes to keep their bodies active, but doing it smart is very important. “I think you have to [talk about it], just because there’s been some examples of guys maybe getting an injury, and sometimes it’s taking part in one of those reckless activities,” he said. “Sometimes it’s not. “But that whole non-football injury world, that NFI world, it’s the last thing you want to see as a coach because you know how impactful this game is already on guys’ bodies.” Being smart is the most important thing for the dead period in the offseason and O’Connell has the right approach to handling it with his organization.

Alexis Nunes reports on why Darwin Nunez and other Uruguay players went into the stands as fans brawled after the match. (1:53) Darwin Núñez and about a dozen Uruguay teammates went into the stands as fans brawled at Bank of America Stadium following Uruguay’s 1-0 loss to Colombia in a Copa América semifinal on Wednesday night before security personnel stepped in to restore order.Best porn XXX. After Colombia sealed a 1-0 victory in Charlotte, North Carolina, videos on social media showed Uruguay players climbing into the stands and exchanging blows with opposition fans. South American football’s governing body, CONMEBOL, which organizes the Copa, said it is investigating the incident and issued the following statement after the game: “CONMEBOL strongly condemns any act of violence that affects football. “Our work is based on the conviction that soccer connects and unites us through its positive values.” Uruguay’s Nuñez and Ronald Araújo were among the players at the forefront of the melee. Captain José María Giménez said the players were trying to defend their families. “Let me say something before they cut you off because they won’t let us speak into the microphone, they don’t want me to say anything about what’s going on but this is a disaster,” Giménez said on the official broadcast. “Please be careful, our families are in the stands, there are little newborn babies. It was a disaster; there was no police and we had to defend our families. “This is the fault of two or three people who had a few too many drinks and don’t know how to drink.” Players and staff from both Colombia and Uruguay were also involved in a confrontation on the field after the final whistle. “I thought that the incident ended with some argument on the midfield and when I saw that happening I went to the locker room,” Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa said in a news conference. “I thought that they were thanking the fans for their support. But then I learned that there were some problems over there unfortunately.” Jefferson Lerma’s first-half header gave Colombia a place in Sunday’s final against Argentina. Uruguay will play Canada in the third-place playoff. Information from The Associated Press and Reuters was used in this story.

More Sports ES Fancast Apr 18, 2024 | 2:40 AM EDT The mistake that the Michigan Wolverines committed during the COVID-19 pandemic has come to haunt them in 2024. Although it may seem trivial, on April 16, 2024, the NCAA stated that “Michigan committed NCAA violations.” New HC Sherrone Moore and U-M football agreed upon the recruiting violations and coaching activities with the NCAA enforcement staff.  As per the NCAA, the violations include violating the rules of prohibited in-person recruiting contacts during the COVID-19 dead period, prohibited tryouts, and violating the number of allowed coaches when non-coaching staff is engaged in on-and-off-field coaching activities.Best porn XXX. Now, Michigan will have to pay the price for these violations, and this is a separate one from the ongoing NCAA investigation into Michigan’s in-person scouting/signaling scheme. ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad The news about Michigan’s plight was revealed on X, which read, “Five Michigan football coaches at the center of the recruiting violations during the COVID dead period have reached an agreement on penalties with the NCAA.” The penalties imposed include “three years of probation for Michigan,” “a fine & recruiting restrictions,” and “one-year show-cause orders for the coaches.”  Five Michigan football coaches at the center of the recruiting violations during the COVID dead period have reached an agreement on penalties with the NCAA. pic.twitter.com/dLGPeyOwTG — Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) April 16, 2024 Expand Tweet ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad According to the NCAA, the negotiated resolution was reached with the approval of the committee on infractions which involved five former and current coaches and staff members. This is what Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel said, “Today’s joint resolution pertains to the University of Michigan Athletic Department and several former and current employees. We are pleased to reach a resolution on this matter so that our student-athletes and our football program can move forward.” While there is hope for moving forward, Michigan is already tainted with NCAA violations that could put Sherrone Moore and the program in a bad spectacle. ADVERTISEMENT Article continues below this ad Michigan is still under investigation for the sign-stealing allegations that stemmed in 2023 which led to their former HC Jim Harbaugh serving a 3-game suspension. Even Sherrone Moore, who served as the previous OC was suspended for one game in relation to the prohibited contact violation. This constant NCAA investigation only adds more difficulty to Moore who is in his first year replacing Harbaugh as the HC.  After Harbaugh led his team to the National Championship despite several setbacks during the season, Moore was tasked with high pressure to continue the winning culture. But given their current situation, the future for U-M football is looking bleak. For the 2024 season lineup, Michigan is set to face some of its toughest competitors including the Washington Huskies, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Texas Longhorns. Undergoing major changes in both the coaching staff and players, our fingers are crossed.

Nearly two months after returning to the Super Bowl stage, Logan Ryan is stepping away from football.  The versatile defensive back announced his retirement after 11 seasons Tuesday morning. The former Patriots draftee later made his way to the Titans, Giants, Buccaneers and 49ers. The San Francisco agreement did not come to pass until early December, shortly after Talanoa Hufanga‘s season-ending injury.  Ryan, 33, went from spending most of 2023 out of football to playing 62 defensive snaps in Super Bowl LVIII.Best porn XXX. That marked Ryan’s third Super Bowl appearance. The 2013 third-rounder was a backup cornerback in Super Bowl XLIX but a starter by the time the Patriots returned to a Super Bowl two years later.  Ryan played every Patriots defensive snap in their historic comeback past the Falcons, parlaying that season into a three-year, $30M Titans contract. A Rutgers alum, Ryan started 124 games and suited up for 19 playoff contests. Primarily playing cornerback in New England and Tennessee, Ryan was one of the top tacklers at the position during this NFL period.  That helped a transition to safety commence during his Giants tenure. The Giants picked up Ryan late in the 2020 offseason and handed the New Jersey native an extension months after that signing. During Ryan’s final Titans season (2019), the team voyaged to its first AFC championship game since 2002. Ryan helped the cause by making 113 tackles — 31 more than any other corner registered that season — as primarily a slot defender.  The COVID-19-marred 2020 offseason led to several veterans lingering in free agency for months, as visits were shut down for an extended period. Ryan belatedly landed with the Giants on August 31, 2020, soon completing the transition to a safety role. Teaming with Xavier McKinney in 2021, Ryan notched a career-high 117 tackles in his second Giants season. Ryan’s two Giants years overlapped with ex-Patriots special teams coordinator Joe Judge’s New York tenure.  The team moved on shortly after hiring Joe Schoen as GM, cutting Ryan and letting Jabrill Peppers join the Patriots in free agency. The Giants have since passed on re-signing ex-Ryan safety teammates McKinney and Julian Love, effectively starting over at the position. The Buccaneers gave Ryan an opportunity in 2022, but a foot fracture limited his on-field work in Tampa. Ryan played in nine games with the Bucs, starting six, but the team did not bring him back in 2023.  The 49ers reached out to Ryan following Hufanga’s injury, encouraging him to go on a booked cruise with his family before joining the team for the stretch run. After playing 12 defensive snaps over his first three 49ers games, Ryan was on the field for every San Francisco defensive play in Week 17 as the team wrapped up home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.  He then played 100% of the 49ers’ defensive snaps against the Packers in the divisional round. Yes, Ryan was the closest defender in coverage on Mecole Hardman‘s game-winning touchdown — one that wrapped the NFL’s longest Super Bowl — but the veteran safety/slot defender provided the 49ers with some pivotal reps leading up to that point.  Over his career, Ryan earned just more than $69M. The Titans authorized Ryan’s biggest contract, one he played out in the late 2010s, but he earned more than $15M with the Giants as well.
