According to TMZ Sports, Diaz was facing a significantly longer stint in jail but decided to strike a plea bargain where he pled no contest to DUI with .08 or higher, which led to three charges being dropped, including the second DUI.

The 27-year-old, who is in the midst of a Wimbledon tilt, is reportedly set to face court in August according to a report from The Canberra Times. “ACT Policing can confirm a 27-year-old Watson man is scheduled to face the ACT Magistrates Court on the 2nd of August in relation to one charge of common assault following an incident in December 2021," a police statement said.

The 27-year-old just signed a five-year, $60 million contract with Miami last offseason.

Those are not only reasons for the Dolphins to move Wallace, but also for other teams not to be interested in making the deal. He didn't have a terrible season (73 catches, 930 yards, 5 touchdowns) in 2013, but it didn't quite live up to what they paid him....

Tate has been linked to potential contenders like the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints, who could both use a reliable veteran to stabilize their receiving corps. The Packers do not have much depth at receiver behind standout Davante Adams, and it’s unclear whether they will be content staying put after the criticism they received for not selecting a receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Saints have been piecing their receiving corps together, with perennial Pro Bowler Michael Thomas only playing one game this season due to injury and team-imposed suspension....

The 26-year-old quarterback is at the center of 22 lawsuits alleging “sexual assault and misconduct,” according to Bleacher Report.

Here’s a look at the teams and why they came close to pulling the trigger. Which teams were close to landing Deshaun Watson?...

There are a couple of good matchups on Fox’s schedule, but the two most prominent ones feature teams that won in Week 1. The 49ers-Eagles game and Rams-Colts games figure to be the marquee matchups, but how readily available will they be for viewers? It’s worth wondering given how regionalized Fox’s broadcasts will be in Week 2. The good news for football fans is that CBS is still airing two sets of games....

Some draft pundits listed Tunsil, an offensive tackle from Ole Miss, as the best overall player in this year’s class, and he was once projected as the No. 1 overall pick. About 13 minutes before the draft began on Thursday night, video surfaced on Tunsil’s Twitter account showing him smoking a bong attached to a gas mask. Tunsil, who claims his Twitter account was hacked, watched as 12 players — including two offensive linemen — were selected before the Dolphins took him at No....

It had been a long and arduous process filled with photography obligations, autograph signing and some extra perks, like a phone call with Sabres star center Jack Eichel. The two have never met but will soon be teammates in Western New York and part of what all parties involved will be the resuscitation of an NHL franchise that hasn’t reached the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2011. Although he was the consensus No....

All 32 franchises are assuredly wanting to get faster, make their lineup stronger and go higher in the standings. A few are even doing it together. Already a few “I’ll scratch your back, if you scratch my back” deals have gone down. Basically, a “Hey, pal, you take this bad, cap-heavy contract and we’ll give you a bunch of guys and picks.

The 24-year-old forward was suspended three games after his high hit in Game 3 concussed Zach Aston-Reese and broke the jaw of the Penguins forward – this after two controversial hits earlier in the postseason, one on Alex Wennberg in the first round against Columbus and another on Pens defenseman Brian Dumoulin in Game 2 of the second round. “I mean it’s a tough one,” Wilson told reporters Wednesday as the Caps began to prepare for the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning....
