Yankees fans who mauled Mookie Betts at World Series banned from all MLB stadiums indefinitely

β€œYour conduct posed a serious risk to the health and safety of the player and went far over the line of acceptable fan behavior. Based on your conduct, Major League Baseball is banning you indefinitely from all MLB stadiums, offices, and other facilities.”

Browns' Deshaun Watson ruptures Achilles for second time, putting 2025 season in doubt: report

10 January 2025 at 11:48

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson ruptured an Achilles again and needed another surgery to repair it, according to a new report.Β 

Watson originally tore an Achilles Oct. 20.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said during a press conference this week the quarterback had a setback, and tests showed the new tear, according to the NFL Network.

The surgery leaves Watson’s status for the 2025 season in doubt.Β 

Without Watson, the Browns could turn to the NFL Draft or free agency to replace him.Β 

The team holds the No. 2 overall pick in the draft and will have the opportunity to select top quarterback prospects Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward if the Tennessee Titans don’t take one of them with the No. 1 overall pick.Β 

The trade for Watson a few years ago has hampered the Browns, who gave up a lot of draft capital and signed him to an exorbitant deal.

The Browns gave up first-round picks in 2022, 2023 and 2024, in addition to other picks, to acquire him from the Houston Texans.Β

On top of the draft capital the Browns gave the Texans to acquire him, they signed Watson to a five-year, $230 million contract that is fully guaranteed.Β 

With Watson’s play and off-field issues, the contract has quickly become a nuisance.

In his three seasons with the team, Watson has played 19 games.

Watson was suspended for 11 games two seasons ago after more than two dozen women accused him of sexual assault and inappropriate conduct during scheduled massage sessions.

Before getting injured this season, Watson struggled on the field.

The former Clemson quarterbackΒ completed 63.4% of his passes for 1,148 yards while throwing five touchdowns and three interceptions in seven starts. The Browns were 1-6 in his starts this season.Β 

To make matters worse for the Browns, Baker Mayfield, who they replaced with Watson, is flourishing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

With Mayfield, the Bucs have won back-to-back NFC South titles. Β 

Depending on how things end up with Watson’s injury and who the Browns bring in at quarterback this offseason, there is a chance Watson has played his last snap with the Browns.Β

Olympic gold medalist-turned-firefighter battles California blazes as wildfires continue to burn

10 January 2025 at 11:30

David Walters, a formerΒ University of Texas swimmer, made headlines in 2008 after he earned a gold medal for Team USA during the Summer Olympics in Beijing. Nearly two decades later, his name popped up again, but for an entirely different reason.Β 

Walters, who has been a firefighter in Los Angeles for almost 10 years, is one of the more than 7,500 firefighting and emergency personnel working to contain theΒ devastating wildfires raging throughout Southern California this week.Β 

The former Olympian recently spoke toΒ News Nation about the devastation as he finished up a shift working two days straight, according to the outlet.Β

"We’re pretty much trying to keep what is left here standing," an exhausted Walters said. "So, we’re not laying down. We’re staying in our position – that’s correct, I did sleep on top of the hose bed last night, just staying ready to do what we can still do."

At least 10 people have died as a result of multiple wildfires as thousands evacuated their homes. Around 10,000 structures from the Pacific Coast to Pasadena have burned down as strong winds continue to fuel the fires.Β

The largest fire burning in Pacific Palisades began on Tuesday, and officials said on Thursday evening that containment was at 6% for that fire.Β 

"I’m very sorry for the residents that live here," Walters continued.Β 

"We did try our best, but we got our butts kicked. We’re getting some rest now, and we’re all trying to get our nutrition up and health up so we can stay active."Β 

Walters, 37, won gold in the men’s 4 x 200 metres freestyle relay, where they set a then-Olympic record with a time of 7:04.66. It was his onlyΒ Olympic appearance. That same year, he won his first NCAA individual title in the men’s 200 freestyle.Β
