The Baltimore Ravens lost the game and the division on one missed kick, could they end up losing their star quarterback too?

The Ravens lost to the Steelers 26-24 on Sunday Night Football. The game came down to a missed kick from Tyler Loop. The Ravens led 10-3 at halftime but Aaron Rodgers led the Steelers to a massive comeback. This game kind of was a showcase of the problems the Ravens have had in recent seasons. That being an offense that’s too complacent and a defense that can’t consistently hold leads.

Lamar Jackson was drafted by the Ravens with the 32nd pick of the 2018 NFL draft. Many were surprised to see Jackson fall, but some questioned his NFL ceiling. He ended up becoming one of the best QBs in the league, including winning two MVPs in 2019 and 2023.

Jackson had led the Ravens to the playoffs in all but one season. The playoff performances have left a lot to be desired. Sometimes he’s to blame, like in 2020 when he threw zero touchdowns and an interception against the Bills in the divisional game. Other times like his 2024 performance against the Bills where he threw 254 yards, it’s the other pieces who don’t support him.

Regardless of who’s to blame for the Raven’s lack of playoff success, it seems likely they have hit their ceiling. Running QBs don’t tend to have the longevity of pure QBs like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.

If Jackson wants to win a ring he may need to act sooner than later. He wasn’t willing to talk about his future after the heartbreaking loss on Sunday Night Football. However, after the dust settles on that loss he’ll need to decide what’s next for him. Many teams will look to add Jackson, but would any of those teams be better than the Ravens?

Does the star crossed lover still have blank space for one more season, or will he ride off into the midnight with his soon to be wife Taylor Swift?

There’s been speculation about Travis Kelce’s possible retirement all season. He was even asked about it after last season’s Super Bowl, where he committed to at least one more season. This speculation has been amped up after his proposal to his superstar musician girlfriend and the ACL injury to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes and Kelce have had a great relationship since Mahomes was drafted by the Chiefs in 2017. Does Kelce want to play another season where he won’t get to play with Mahomes for about half of it? Finances aren’t exactly an issue either — his podcast “New Heights” with his brother Jason has about three million subscribers.

The main reason he’d want to stay is to attempt to go for a “storybook” ending. At the very least, he might not feel right having anyone besides Mahomes throw him his last NFL pass. 

In an interview after the 2025-26 season finale on January 4, he was very noncommittal on his future. He simply emphasized his love for the organization. 

His fiancée Swift plans to take it easy after finishing the largest music tour in human history, the “Era’s” tour. She has stated that her new album “The Life of a Showgirl” will not have an accompanying tour. Both have been very busy the past few years. Swift has released six albums since 2019, and Kelce has been to the Super Bowl all but one season since 2019. This could be the power couple’s chance to ride off into the sunset. 

Regardless of what Kelce decides, it’s clear his reputation is strong. He will be a first ballot football hall of famer whenever he is eligible. 

On March 25, former U.S. Soccer Secretary General Hank Steinbrecher died from complications of degenerative heart disease.

Steinbrecher, 77, had been battling Fabry disease, which is a rare genetic disorder that can cause heart, kidney, and brain problems.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

Steve Sampson, the former U.S. men’s national soccer team coach, released a statement remembering how much Steinbrecher meant to him.

“Hank was one of the most influential persons in my life,” Sampson said. “Our game is immensely better because of Hank.”

In 1990, Steinbrecher assumed the roles of Secretary General and Executive Director of the U.S. Soccer Federation. During his tenure in this role, he helped bring the FIFA Men’s World Cup to the United States, launched Major League Soccer, and elevated both the men’s and women’s U.S. national teams.

Steinbrecher stepped down from his role in early 2000.

In 2005, he was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

In 2012, Steinbrecher received the Werner Fricker Builder Award, the highest honor awarded by the U.S. Soccer Federation.

After a disastrous 3-14 season, the Las Vegas Raiders will be looking in a new direction for coaching.

Future football hall of famer Pete Carroll was signed by the Raiders last offseason to give them some veteran leadership. His most notable stint was with the Seahawks from 2010 to 2023. He made the playoffs in 10 of his 14 seasons, including a Super Bowl XLVIII title. After missing the playoffs in 2023, the Seahawks and Carroll mutually agreed to part ways. 

>SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

After a season off in 2024, Carroll returned to the NFL with the Raiders in 2025. Carroll was the oldest coach in NFL history, turning 74 during the Raiders’ week 2 game. 

The Raiders’ poor record is a product of poor roster building and outdated coaching.

The Raiders let several defensive veterans like Tre’von Moehrig, Robert Spillane and Nate Hobbs walk. Instead, they focused on offensive improvements, trading for Geno Smith and drafting Ashton Jeanty. Smith, in particular, didn’t work out, as he threw 19 touchdowns and 17 interceptions. 

Carroll has generally relied on veterans to lead the rosters. He likes to let the players build the team culture.

However, since the Raiders lost several veterans in the offseason, they needed to rely on Carroll.

Although Carroll prevented a complete collapse of the locker room, it was pretty clear he couldn’t create a culture either. His game management was very old-school, with conservative fourth-down decisions, playing for field position, and trusting the defense to hold the line.

Overall, Carroll was hired to build the roster from scratch. In reality, he’s best suited to join a roster that’s already got its core, but needs a coach who allows them to be the best version of themselves.

As of now, it’s unclear if Carroll will get another job in the NFL, but if a playoff team loses earlier than expected, they might give the coaching legend a call.

After six years, the Cleveland Browns will go in a different direction following the firing of head coach Kevin Stefanski. 

Stefanski first joined the team in 2020. He surprisingly got the Browns to the playoffs in his first season with an 11-5 record. This was the Browns’ first playoff appearance since 2002. Stefanski did not coach during the playoffs due to COVID-19 exposure. Despite this, acting head coach Mike Priefer defeated the Steelers and put up a good fight against the Chiefs. 

>SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

The Browns missed the playoffs in 2021 and 2022, but returned in 2023. Despite running old Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Browns had a top-10 offense thanks to offensive lineman Joel Bitonio and Wyatt Teller, wide receiver Amari Cooper and tight end David Njoku. Their defense was carried by defensive player of the year Myles Garrett. They would go on to lose the wild-card game to the Texans, marking the last playoff appearance of the Stefanski era.

What truly held the Browns back was their QB situation. The Browns gave up on Baker Mayfield after the 2021 season. They traded for Deshaun Watson to get themselves a star QB. However, a suspension for sexual abuse allegations in 2022 and injuries in 2023 and 2024 kept him out of the lineup. He missed all of 2025 after tearing his Achilles tendon in the offseason.

Whoever the Browns hire as head coach next will need to decide whether Watson has anything left in the tank or they should fully commit to developing Shedeur Sanders. 

Despite not having the best record, Stefanski did a lot of good for the Browns.

Making the playoffs twice with a roster that was a laughingstock in the 2010s is no small feat. Regardless of whom they hire as coach, the Browns need to set a direction quickly. Stefanski will likely attract interest from teams seeking head coaches, including the Giants and Raiders. 

On January 15, former NBA Champion Gus Williams died from complications of a stroke.

Williams, 71, suffered a stroke back in February 2020. After his stroke, he needed long-term assisted care.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson shared his condolences to Williams and provided insight into the type of person he was. “He was one of my dad’s closest teammates and didn’t have any kids of his own, so he would check on me quite a bit,” Johnson said.

Williams played college basketball at the University of Southern California. In his four seasons, he was named to the All-Pac-8 First Team twice and served as the team captain in his senior year.

Williams entered the 1975 NBA Draft and was selected in the second round by the Golden State Warriors.

After two seasons with the Warriors, he left the team in free agency to sign with the Seattle SuperSonics. In Seattle, Williams’ career took off.

He was a starter for the 1979 championship team, was a two-time All-Star, and a two-time All-NBA selection. He also won the NBA Comeback Player of the Year award in 1982.

In 1987, Williams retired after an 11-year career.

Williams had his No. 1 jersey retired by Seattle in 2004, and in 2012, his No. 10 jersey was retired by USC.

On March 11, University of Louisville Athletics Hall of Famer Junior Bridgeman died from a heart attack.

Bridgeman, 71,  was at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky, when he reportedly said he felt like he was having a heart attack. He collapsed shortly after, and emergency personnel responded right away.

Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead shortly after.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

NBA legend Magic Johnson shared his condolences on X.

“But it was his character, his kindness, and his gentle soul that truly left a lasting impression on me,” Johnson said. “He was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet.

Bridgeman played his collegiate basketball at the University of Louisville. There, he was a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year, named an All-American, and helped lead the team to the Final Four.

He entered the 1975 NBA Draft and was selected No. 8 by the Los Angeles Lakers. He was traded shortly after to the Milwaukee Bucks, in a blockbuster trade that sent Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the Lakers.

Bridgeman played 12 seasons in the NBA, carving out a role as a sixth man for most of his career. Many believe that if the Sixth Man of the Year Award were around, Bridgeman would have won it.

In 1988, the Bucks retired Bridgeman’s No. 2 jersey in honor of his productive contributions to the franchise. Bridgeman became an owner of the Bucks and Ebony magazine.

Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte recently announced that he would auction off three of the six gold medals he won with the United States Olympic swimming team between 2008 and 2016.

This week, the Olympic gold medalist clarified the reasoning behind the decision. “I never swam for the gold medals,” Lochte said in a statement posted to Instagram. “My passion has always been about being one of the best swimmers in the world. Those medals? They were just the cherry on top of an incredible journey.”

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

The 41-year-old swimmer won more than 90 medals throughout his career, noting that the accomplishments symbolize achieving something few swimmers ever do. “I’ve given away medals to fans and young kids in the stands because it’s never been just about me,” Lochte said. “It’s about inspiring the next generation and helping them chase their dreams.”

Lochte has previously sold several of his medals, including in 2022, when all proceeds were donated to charity. That auction raised $195,000 for the Jorge Nation Foundation, an organization that sends sick children on dream vacations. The proceeds from this year’s auctions are also being donated to charitable causes.

Lochte also addressed comments regarding his relationship with his estranged wife, Kayla Reid Lochte, from whom he separated in June after seven years of marriage.

“Every day, I woke up to be belittled and reminded of my constant failures, day in and day out,” he wrote on Instagram, “until I was eventually kicked out of our family home.”

He later added that he understands his comments have drawn criticism. “I understand that my words have sparked a lot of backlash, and I want to express that my intention was never to hurt anyone, but to share my honest feelings,” Lochte said. “There’s a lot happening behind the scenes that I’ve chosen to keep private to protect my kids.”

On March 5, tennis legend Fred Stolle died from cancer at 86 years old.

Stolle had a profound impact on many during his career, and his death was deeply felt across the tennis world. Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley released a statement following Stolle’s passing.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

“His legacy is one of excellence, dedication, and profound love for tennis,” Tiley said. His impact on the sport will be remembered and cherished by all who had the privilege to witness his contributions.”

Stolle began his amateur tennis career in 1958. By 1966, he had become the World’s No. 1 amateur, and he turned professional shortly after.

During his professional career, Stolle won 19 Grand Slam titles. Two were singles, 10 men’s doubles, and seven mixed.

Stolle retired in 1978 and transitioned into a new role as a tennis announcer. He started commentating for Australia’s Channel Nine at Wimbledon in 1979.

In the early 1980s, Stolle joined ESPN and served as a lead tennis commentator.

In 1985, Stolle was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and in 1988, he was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.

On January 16, legendary sports broadcaster Bob Uecker passed away from lung cancer.

Before his career as a broadcaster, Uecker was a catcher in the MLB from 1962 to 1967. Uecker played for the Milwaukee Brewers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Philadelphia Phillies. In 1964, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals, who won the World Series.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

In 1971, Uecker started his career as the voice of the Brewers. Uecker was an announcer for the Brewers for 54 years, one of the longest tenures in MLB history. Following Uecker’s passing, Christian Yelich, an outfielder for the Brewers, shared a heartfelt message, highlighting how much Uecker’s relationship meant to him.

“You’d always thank me for my friendship, but the truth of it is the pleasure was all time. I’ll miss you, my friend,” Yelich said.

Uecker will forever be remembered at American Family Field, where the Brewers play, as he has a statue at the field. In section 422, row 1, seat 1, Uecker is also recognized for often joking around during the broadcast, mentioning that he always sits in the last row at the top of the stadium.

In 1994, Uecker was inducted into the Wisconsin Broadcaster Association Hall of Fame, and in 2001, he was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame. Uecker is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame, received the Ford C. Frick Award, and is a part of the Milwaukee Brewers Wall of Honor.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson left the Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots after taking an accidental knee to the lower left side of his back late in the second quarter, and his status is now “TBD” for Baltimore’s matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jackson was injured with 1:56 left before halftime on a designed run in the red zone. He stayed in for one more snap, then the Ravens used a timeout to get him out of the game as he headed to the locker room for evaluation.

>SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

Backup Tyler Huntley finished the night in relief. He completed 9 of 10 passes for 65 yards, but Baltimore couldn’t close out the game as New England rallied for a 28–24 win.

After the game, Jackson said, “he did everything he could to try to return, including receiving a Toradol shot, but the pain wouldn’t ease enough to function normally.”

He described testing his range of motion in the locker room, even trying to throw to a trainer, only to feel his back tighten and hurt. He added that his legs felt fine and that he didn’t believe he aggravated any previous injury.

The read from the team pointed to a back contusion.

On March 12, former NBA player Oliver Miller passed away from cancer.

Miller played college basketball at the University of Arkansas. During his four seasons of college basketball, Arkansas compiled a 115-24 record and advanced to the Final Four in 1990. In 1991, Miller was named the Southwest Conference Player of the Year and Southwest Conference Tournament MVP.

Miller entered the 1992 NBA Draft and was selected No. 22 overall by the Phoenix Suns. During his rookie season, he was a crucial piece to the Suns, helping the team make the NBA Finals.

>50 SPORTS GREATS WHO DIED IN 2025 – TRIBUTE SLIDESHOW

Cedrick Ceballos, a former teammate of Miller with the Suns, shared his condolences on X. “This one is hurting. I want to hear you laugh one more time,” Ceballos said.

Miller played nine seasons in the NBA. His best season came in 1995-96 with the Toronto Raptors, when he averaged 12.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game.

After his NBA career, Miller played professional basketball overseas in China, Greece, Puerto Rico and Poland. He also has a stint with the Harlem Globetrotters.

In 2016, Miller was inducted into the University of Arkansas Hall of Honor. He was also inducted into the Southwest Conference Hall of Fame in 2024.

In June 1996, former NFL star Deion Sanders was fishing on the property of the Southwest Florida International Airport, which led to his being arrested for trespassing.

Police found Sanders fishing on private property and informed him that he needed to bring his boat in because he wasn’t allowed to fish there. Sanders told officers that he wasn’t going to do so, which led to his arrest.

>50 ‘BEST CELEBRITY MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

Sanders was charged with misdemeanor trespassing and pleaded no contest. Sanders was fined over $250 in court costs and placed on probation for six months, during which he was required to work 50 hours with youth in the Fort Myers area.

During his career, Sanders was a highly respected athlete. He attended Florida State University, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1988. He would go on to be selected fifth overall in the 1989 NFL draft by the Atlanta Falcons.

In Sanders’ NFL career, he played for five different teams, winning the Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994 and with the Dallas Cowboys in 1996. In addition to winning the Super Bowl in 1994 with San Francisco, Sanders also brought home the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.

Sanders finished his NFL career with two Super Bowl rings, one Defensive Player of the Year award, eight Pro Bowl selections and six All-Pro selections. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame in 2011.

In addition to playing in the NFL, Sanders also played professional baseball in the MLB, with some of the seasons overlapping.

In 2020, Sanders became the head coach of Jackson State’s football program, where he won two Southwestern Athletic Conference championships and appeared in the Celebration Bowl twice. In 2022, he was hired as the head coach at the University of Colorado, where he is currently coaching.

Rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant is still recovering after being carted off the field following a hard breakup on a pass in the final seconds of a late-game collision that overshadowed the Denver Broncos’ 34–20 home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on December 21.

>SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

The play happened near the end of regulation at Empower Field at Mile High. Bryant went up for a catch along the sideline when Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown arrived at full speed and made forceful contact as the ball arrived, which sent Bryant down hard. The initial reaction inside the stadium turned tense immediately as trainers sprinted onto the field, and Bryant remained motionless for several moments.

Officials initially threw a flag on the hit, but after a brief discussion, they picked it up and ruled the contact legal. Bryant was placed on a stretcher and transported off the field to the hospital for further evaluation. Broncos coach Sean Payton said after the game that, “Bryant had movement in his extremities, an encouraging sign given the seriousness of the scene.”

There has been a positive update: Bryant had been discharged from the hospital, with the expectation that the evaluation was primarily related to a concussion.

Before leaving the game, Bryant had been one of Denver’s more productive receivers; he finished with five catches for 42 yards. For the season, he has 27 receptions for 347 yards and one touchdown in a crowded Broncos receiving group.

Jacksonville’s win extended its surge and kept the Jaguars in the AFC South race.

Bryant didn’t play in Jacksonville’s 31-28 victory over the Chiefs last week. He now faces significant recovery time before heading back on the field.

On February 16, 2011, future MLB Hall of Famer Miguel Cabrera was arrested and charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and two misdemeanor counts of resisting an officer without violence.

An officer found Cabrera outside of his vehicle on the side of the road with the engine smoking. The officer reported smelling alcohol, bloodshot/watery eyes, noticing slurred speech, and claimed that Cabrera took a drink from a bottle of Scotch in front of him.

>SLIDESHOW: 50 MOST-INFAMOUS ATHLETE MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

In January 2012, Cabrera entered a plea deal in which he pleaded no contest to the DUI charge, and the other charges were dropped.

He was sentenced to one year of probation, 50 hours of community service, more than $500 in court costs, a six-month license suspension, and he was ordered to attend a DUI education program and a victim-impact panel.

In 1999, Cabrera signed with the Florida Marlins as an amateur free agent at the age of 16. He made his major league debut in 2003 and spent five seasons with the Marlins.

In December 2007, Cabrera was traded to the Detroit Tigers. During his time in Detroit, Cabrera was an eight-time All-Star, and he won back-to-back MVP Awards in 2012 and 2013.

Cabrera retired after the 2023 season, cementing himself as one of the greatest players in Tigers’ history. He will be eligible for the 2029 Hall of Fame, where he will almost certainly be a first-ballot selection.

Seattle Seahawks’ coach Mike Macdonald has criticized the NFL’s suspension of outside linebacker Derick Hall.

“Just because we know Derick as a player, as a person,” Macdonald observed. “Since he’s been here, he’s been nothing but an A-plus-plus teammate, A-plus-plus football player and member of our community. It’s tough, so you feel for him. But we’ve got to pick it up for him while he’s gone.”

Following a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams, the NFL suspended outside linebacker Derick Hall for one game without pay after he was seen stepping on the leg of Rams guard Kevin Dotson.

Near the end of the first quarter, Hall appeared to step on Dotson’s leg while Dotson was on the ground. The league later ruled the action “unnecessary.” Dotson later left the game with an ankle injury and did not return. Hall is expected to appeal the suspension, though the NFL has upheld its decision.

Rams head coach Sean McVay was asked about the incident involving Hall and Dotson after the game. “I think he was injured before, but it certainly didn’t help the matter,” McVay said. “It’s not the kind of stuff we want in our game.”

Hall, a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, has been part of a four-man outside linebacker rotation this season, averaging around 30 snaps per game.

Seattle went on to win the game after mounting a 16-point comeback. The rally was capped by a touchdown from wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba in overtime and finished with a successful two-point conversion. The result marked the first time an NFL game was decided in overtime on a two-point conversion.

The win moved the Seahawks to 12–3 on the season, while the Rams dropped to 11–4. Combined with a 49ers victory, the loss pushed Los Angeles into third place in the NFC standings and moved Seattle into first place in the division.

With the season nearing its end, Hall’s suspension could hurt Seattle’s defense moving forward, as depth will be increasingly important. Knee injuries to Coby Bryant and cornerback Riq Woolen late in the game further complicate matters, leaving the Seahawks short-handed heading into next week’s matchup against the Falcons.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback situation went from bad to worse on Sunday, Dec. 21, when Gardner Minshew went down with a left knee injury just three plays into a 26–9 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Patrick Mahomes is already out after tearing major ligaments in the same knee a week earlier. The Chiefs were suddenly staring at the possibility of losing two quarterbacks in back-to-back games.

Minshew’s injury looked ominous right away. On a scramble early in the first quarter, he fell awkwardly on what appeared to be a noncontact play. He later immediately reached for his knee and limped off. He attempted to keep going, but Kansas City’s offense visibly stalled as he struggled to set his feet. He finished 3 of 8 for 15 yards before the team turned to third-stringer Chris Oladokun.

Initial concern was a torn ACL, but Monday brought a more straightforward and slightly less catastrophic answer: Minshew avoided an ACL tear. Instead, sources said imaging revealed a non-displaced tibial plateau fracture, which will still end his season. This led the Chiefs to place him on the injured reserve and sign Shane Buechele for depth.

Oladokun stabilized the offense enough to produce all nine of Kansas City’s points. He threw for 111 yards while he also absorbed four sacks. He’s now expected to start the final two games, beginning with a quick turnaround to host Denver on Thursday night.

A blowout win over Orlando came with a loud side story Monday night: Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr and Draymond Green got into a heated sideline argument that ended with Green leaving the bench and never returning to the game.

>SLIDESHOW: MOST INFAMOUS SPORTS MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

The flare-up happened early in the third quarter at Chase Center with Golden State down 71–66. After Green committed a turnover, and continued to chat with an official. Kerr called a timeout and tried to pull his team into the huddle, later saying he felt the group had lost its focus. Instead, the timeout turned tense. Teammates and staff, which included Moses Moody and assistant coach Jerry Stackhouse, stepped in as Kerr and Green exchanged words. Later, Green walked off toward the locker room.

Both sides framed it as a moment that needed a pressure release, not a bigger fracture. Green said, “tempers spilled over, and he chose to remove himself because he didn’t think the situation would improve in the moment.”

Kerr confirmed Green wouldn’t have re-entered even after he returned to the bench in warmups before the fourth quarter.

The Warriors responded on the court. Stephen Curry ignited a third-quarter swing with a perfect shooting stretch, and Golden State turned the five-point deficit into a comfortable lead before cruising to a 120–97 victory. Curry finished with 26 points, and Jimmy Butler added 21 as the Warriors climbed back to .5 at 15–15.

The incident also added to a recent pattern: Green had been ejected in the previous game and, for a second straight night, wasn’t part of the closing minutes. After the final buzzer, the message from the locker room was essentially We’ve been here before.

Jake Paul’s leap into heavyweight boxing ended in a painful reality check Friday night, as former world champion Anthony Joshua stopped him in the sixth round and left him needing surgery for a jaw fractured in two places.

Paul confirmed the injury himself the next day, posting an X-ray on social media and writing that he suffered a “double broken jaw.” Then he jokingly called for a fight with Canelo Álvarez in 10 days. In another message from what appeared to be a hospital room, Paul told fans he was OK and thanked them for the support.

>SLIDESHOW: MOST INFAMOUS SPORTS MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

The bout, streamed on Netflix and promoted by Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, turned sharply in Joshua’s favor as the rounds wore on. Joshua repeatedly found openings with power shots and scored multiple knockdowns before ending it with a clean punch that snapped Paul’s head back and dropped him for the final time.

By Saturday, Paul said the operation “went smoothly, but the recovery won’t be quick.” He reported significant pain and stiffness. Doctors installed titanium plates and added that he had to stick to a liquids-only diet for at least a week

Joshua’s win was decisive, but the aftermath quickly shifted attention from the spectacle to the damage. Paul has built his boxing brand on bold callouts and fast turnarounds. This was a painful reminder to Paul that he is mortal. A broken jaw doesn’t care about timelines and whatever comes next. His return will start with healing, not hype.

On December 31, 2008, former NBA star Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI).

Barkley was pulled over after he ran a stop sign. When the officer approached the vehicle, they smelled alcohol and conducted a series of field sobriety tests, which Barkley failed.

>SLIDESHOW: MOST INFAMOUS SPORTS MUGSHOTS & THE STORIES BEHIND THEM!

He was arrested shortly after he failed the sobriety tests. At the scene, Barkley refused to take a breathalyzer test, but a blood test later revealed that his blood alcohol content was .149, which is almost twice the legal limit in Arizona.

Barkley faced three charges: two DUI misdemeanors and one count of running a red light. He pleaded guilty to all three charges.

He was sentenced to five days in jail, which was later reduced to three days, over $2,000 in fines, and he was required to attend an alcohol-awareness program. Barkley was also required to have an ignition-interlock device installed in his vehicles.

Barkley is widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA players never to have won a championship ring. He played college basketball at Auburn University, where in his junior season, he won the SEC Player of the Year Award.

Barkley entered the 1984 NBA Draft, where he was selected No. 5 by the Philadelphia 76ers.

During his 16-year NBA career, Barkley was an 11-time All-Star and an 11-time All-NBA selection. During the 1992-93 season, Barkley took home the NBA MVP award.

Barkley retired in 2000, and he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Barkley is currently an analyst for Inside the NBA, alongside Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith.
