He was born in Iowa but moved to Arizona with his family when he was young and attended high school in Phoenix. He attended the University of Arizona and was a quarterback for the Wildcats for three seasons before he turned pro.

In 27 collegiate games, Demory had 3,268 passing yards and 28 touchdown passes. Arizona did not have a winning record when he was there.

He joined the Jets in 1973 and started in three of the six games he played in. He had 159 passing yards, two touchdown passes and eight interceptions that season. He was in a quarterback room that included Al Woodall and Joe Namath. New York finished 4-10 that season.

In 1974, the Jets were 7-7 with Namath leading the charge. Demory never saw the field.

Arizona Central noted that before Nick Foles started a game in the NFL, Demory was one of three quarterbacks who played at Arizona and started an NFL game. Eddie Wilson and Fred Enke were the other two.

Demory was later an economics professor at Arizona Western and Central Arizona College from 1999 to 2016 and an adjunct teacher at Mesa Community College from 1998 to 2024.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, two daughters, 14 grandchildren, two step-children and his brother.

Logan Paul has left an indelible impression on WWE fans with his wrestling prowess since he entered the squared circle for the company in 2021.

"The Maverick" has been seen in multiple premium live events, went viral for his wild moves off the ropes and was even the United States champion for a time last year. Even with someone who has had as much success as the podcaster and social media star, he made clear there was one move he never wanted to perform again.

Paul posted a video of himself performing the moonsault and battery on Rey Mysterio during a recent match on "Monday Night Raw." The maneuver involved Paul picking up Mysterio from the middle turnbuckle and flipping backward with him in his arms. Only a handful of pro wrestlers across the industry perform the move as it is.

However, for Paul, his days doing that seemed to be over.

"Never doing that again," he wrote on Instagram, tagging WWE in the process.

Paul used the move to help beat Mysterio in a qualifying match for the Elimination Chamber.

The men’s Elimination Chamber match is on Saturday. The event will see Paul, John Cena, Seth Rollins, CM Punk, Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre vie for an opportunity to go to WrestleMania 41 and compete for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which is held by Cody Rhodes.

Jey Uso won the Royal Rumble and will take on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 41.

Manchester City have enjoyed an era of Premier League dominance, but in their new reality nothing is guaranteed.

With only a handful of high-end prospects, the 2025 draft class has been criticized and questioned. But scouts are actually intrigued by the group's depth.

Carson Hocevar drew the ire of multiple drivers on Sunday night during the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in the second race of the NASCAR Cup Series 2025 season.

Hocevar finished in second place as a caution flag came out in the middle of the final lap. It meant the driver who was in the lead at the time of the caution was declared the winner. This time, it was Christopher Bell who won the race, with Hocevar and Kyle Larson behind him.

However, after the race, multiple drivers were seen speaking with Hocevar. The 22-year-old’s aggressive driving did not appear to go over well with some of his colleagues.

"We’re here to win races, not be a boy band and love each other and play on the playground together," Hocevar said, via NASCAR.com. "So obviously, there’s learning lessons. You don’t want to p--- anybody off or frustrate anybody, and there’s things I would clean up for sure. But it’s just going to come with learning.

"Again, I’m normally 40th, waiting for them to crash and hoping they crash, and I finish in the teens. So, to be up front and get stage points in both stages and have a shot to win is something to hold my (head) high. … And I’ve always said I’m a really bad superspeedway racer, so this at least gives me a little bit more confidence."

Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch were among those who reacted to Hocevar’s racing.

As Blaney was driving for first place, he received a bump from Hocevar on Lap 234. Blaney was sent spinning, and a caution flag came out. Blaney was able to save his car and made it back toward the front to finish in fourth place.

"I wasn’t slowing," Blaney said. "He was drafting to me, and he didn’t lift and just gave me a shot when I’m turning into [Turn] 1, and it spun me out. I was just happy I didn’t hook a right back into everybody and was able to stay on the apron."

Chastain had one of the fastest cars of the day. He declined to get into the specifics of their conversation.

Busch noted that Hocevar had a lot of "close calls" in the race.

"I mean, he wasn’t even clear on me, I had to lift, and he put me in the fence off of two in the first stage," he told NBC Sports. "So, he’s just trying to plug holes and doing it last second and last minute, and creating log jams on back. It’s just, do it at the end, you know, do it in the last 30 laps, not in the first 230."

It was Hocevar’s 45th NASCAR Cup Series race of his career and his seventh top 10 finish. It was the best finish he has had on the circuit.

He previously finished in third place at Watkins Glen last year.
