Aqib Talib steps aside from Amazon’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ coverage

Aqib Talib won’t be part of Amazon’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ coverage this season.

Aqib Talib won’t be part of Amazon’s Thursday Night Football coverage this season, the former cornerback told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Talib is stepping aside from his role on TNF after his brother, Yaqub, was charged with felony first-degree murder after a man was killed at a youth football game in Dallas on Aug. 13. Yaqub turned himself in last week.

Aqib and Yaqub are both coaches for the North Dallas United Bobcats. The shooting happened after arguments about a call during a game between the Bobcats and D.E.A. Dragons. The argument turned physical and then one of the Dragons’ coaches, 43-year-old Michael Hickmon, was shot multiple times and later died. Yaqub allegedly shot Hickmon.

Aqib has not faced any charges. He told Rapoport that he’s is stepping “aside from his broadcasting duties at Amazon to spend time with his family.” Talib had previously signed on with Amazon earlier this year to contribute to pre-game, halftime and post-game coverage of TNF in 2023.

Talib had a 12-year career in the NFL and he won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos following the 2015 season.

Green Bay Police Department reviewing incident with Packers RB A.J. Dillon

The Green Bay Police Department is reviewing an incident involving a physical confrontation between an officer and Packers RB A.J. Dillon at Lambeau Field.

The Green Bay Police Department has begun an internal review of a confrontational incident between an officer and Packers running back A.J. Dillon during Saturday’s soccer match at Lambeau Field, according to TMZ Sports.

An officer was seen grabbing and later pushing Dillon, who was on the field attempting to hype the crowd with a Lambeau Leap during a weather delay.

A spokesperson of the department to TMZ: “The Green Bay Police Department appreciates the perspective and supportive words from Mr. Dillon. The Green Bay Police Department Professional Standards/Internal Affairs Division has initiated a review of this incident.”

Chief Chris Davis of the department later sent this tweet on Monday:

Dillon helped explain the bizarre incident – which was caught on video by several attendants of the event – in a series of tweets. The Packers running back classified the confrontation with the officer as nothing more than a “miscommunication.”

Packers president Mark Murphy called the incident “unfortunate” on Monday.

Saturday’s match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich was the first soccer event at Lambeau Field in the stadium’s history. Man City won the abbreviated contest, 1-0. Two weather delays halted the action.

Dillon is a third-year running back from Boston College who has quickly become a fan favorite in Green Bay. He led the Packers in rushing last season.

Packers RB A.J. Dillon explains confrontation with police officer during soccer match at Lambeau Field

Packers RB A.J. Dillon dealt with a confrontational interaction with a police officer while attempting to do Lambeau Leap during Saturday’s soccer match at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon provided some background on his confrontational incident with a police officer at Lambeau Field during a weather delay of Saturday night’s soccer match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Videos shared on social media show a police officer on the field at Lambeau Field grabbing Dillon by the collar of his personalized red Bayern Munich jersey and then pushing him aggressively before eventually allowing the Packers running back to do a Lambeau Leap into the stands.

Dillon said event security allowed him onto the field to help “hype up the crowd” and he assumed the police officer patrolling the area just didn’t get the memo.

In the video above, Dillon is seen interacting with fans and getting ready to leap into the crowd when the police officer grabbed hold of his shirt and jerked him backward. After a brief interaction, in which Dillon appears to be explaining his plan to jump in the stands, the officer pushed him away and then left the area.

It’s unclear what provoked the push.

At the time, play was stopped due to poor weather in the area.

Here’s another angle of the push:

There has been no word from Lambeau Field or the Packers on the incident.

Dillon was at the stadium enjoying the first-ever soccer match at Lambeau Field. Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 1-0 on a goal from Erling Haaland.

Updated details on former Seahawk Richard Sherman’s arrest

Additional details on the arrest of former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman on burglary domestic violence.

The NFL world received deeply upsetting news on Wednesday morning concerning one of the biggest stars in the game. Former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback, Richard Sherman, was arrested in the early hours of July 14.

The initial report indicated Sherman was arrested for the crime of burglary domestic violence, which naturally led fans around the country to assume the worst – especially considering the recent history of NFL players finding themselves in legal jeopardy for such a crime.

However, more details began to emerge once the City of Redmond’s Police Department held a press briefing. According to Police Chief Darrell Lowe, Richard Sherman was arrested after trying to break into his inlaws’ home.

Under Washington State law, a crime committed against a family member – by blood or marriage – can qualify as domestic violence.

Redmond police found Sherman outside the residence at 1:49 am where he was initially cooperative until they informed him he would be taken into custody. Sherman then resisted arrest and was eventually subdued by a K9 unit during which he suffered minor injuries to his left leg. After being taken to the hospital, Sherman was then booked into the King County Correctional Facility around 6:00 am.

It is of the utmost importance to clarify that Sherman did not harm any family members. His wife Ashley Moss gave the Seattle Times the following statement:

At this time we’re going to make no statements, except he didn’t harm anybody. My kids were not harmed in the incident. He’s a good person and this is not his character. We’re doing all right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured.

Unfortunately, the legal issues don’t appear to be limited to just burglary domestic violence. The Washington State Patrol is also investigating Sherman for a hit-and-run, a single-car collision, and obtained a warrant to test his blood for driving under the influence.

The City of Redmond was alerted at 11:26 pm that Sherman was possibly headed that direction. KIRO Radio obtained audio of his wife Ashley’s 911 call, where she described Sherman as belligerently drunk, threatening to kill himself, and getting physical with family members. During the call, Ashley was begging her husband to not leave in a car.

Around 1:00 am, the Washington State Patrol responded to a single-car crash at a construction site. The car was damaged from colliding into a concrete barrier, then was abandoned less than a mile from the crash site. When the WSP checked the plates, they found the car belonged to Sherman.

Miraculously, no one was injured in this incident.

Now Sherman sits behind bars, waiting to be seen by a judge at King County Superior Court on Thursday afternoon. Since the crime involves domestic violence, Sherman cannot post bail until he is seen before a judge.

Although the Redmond Police Department and Washington State Patrol have given much clarity to an ugly situation, this story will most assuredly continue to develop.

It should be noted that earlier in 2021, Sherman had an extreme risk protection order against him by the King County Sheriff’s Office. Such an order would prevent Sherman from legally obtaining firearms. The reasons behind this order are currently sealed.

Seahawks Wire will continue to update this story.

Court records show Marshon Lattimore charged with fourth-degree felony

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore was charged with a fourth-degree felony of receiving an allegedly stolen handgun.

[mm-video type=video id=01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27 playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27-2a94cf8b45dfe4226c2096d8e87d742b.jpg]

Marshon Lattimore has now been charged with a fourth-degree felony for allegedly receiving a stolen firearm, per Cleveland court records accessed by the Times-Picayune | Advocate’s Amie Just. The New Orleans Saints cornerback must pay 10% of his $5,000 bond to be released from Cuyahoga County Jail. Just added that Lattimore has waived his preliminary hearing, so the case will advance to a grand jury.

It’s tough to say will happen next. Whether Lattimore is sentenced to serve time in prison, pay a fine, or wait out probation is yet to be determined. Any potential league discipline or suspension is also uncertain. So it’s best to remain patient and let these legal issues play out rather than speculate one way or another.

Marshon Lattimore cooperating with police; attorney calls arrest a ‘misunderstanding’

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore is cooperating with police following his arrest, per a statement from his attorney.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The situation surrounding New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore’s arrest in Cleveland late Thursday evening continues to develop. Lattimore’s attorney Marcus Sidoti issued a statement to Cleveland.com’s Adam Ferrise that said:

Mr. Lattimore, a proud Cleveland native with no prior criminal record or history, is fully cooperating with law enforcement’s investigation of this matter. He was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police and was arrested without incident and was not formally charged. We believe that this was a misunderstanding, and that this will become even clearer as new information becomes available and is shared with the authorities.

Lattimore is accused of not telling police officers on the scene that he had a gun, with additional issues arising once the gun was found by police to be stolen. His cooperation with police should help clear things up, so check back for updates.

This is a developing story.

Cleveland police report details on Marshon Lattimore’s arrest

Cleveland police shared details on their arrest of New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, alleging possession of a stolen handgun.

[mm-video type=video id=01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27 playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27-2a94cf8b45dfe4226c2096d8e87d742b.jpg]

It was reported early Friday morning that New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore was arrested in his Cleveland hometown Thursday evening, though he has not been charged with a crime. The Cleveland police department reported context on the situation: Lattimore was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property as well as failing to notify officers that he had a weapon in his possession.

ESPN’s Mike Triplett shared a report from police that Lattimore had a loaded handgun on his person, which was later found to be stolen. The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell added more information from the police report, which said that a car with four passengers, one of them Lattimore, was pulled over following traffic violations. During the traffic stop, officers said they discovered a loaded Glock-19 handgun.

All four men in the car were arrested under suspicion, with the other two passengers brought in for having weapons under disability while the driver was arrested for improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle (in addition to a citation for non-functional taillights). Two weapons were allegedly found in the vehicle.

Amie Just of the Times-Picayune | Advocate reported that, as of 1 p.m. CT on Friday, Lattimore remains in Cleveland police custody. Ohio state law requires that citizens carrying concealed firearms during a traffic stop must inform police of it, which is what Lattimore is accused of not doing, and which would be a first-degree misdemeanor if he is charged. Conditions for possessing stolen property are a little more murky, but if the value of stolen goods exceeds $1,000, it would change from a misdemeanor to a felony.

There are a lot of moving parts to this situation, so keep an eye out for updates. Lattimore has not had an opportunity to comment publicly. At this early stage in the legal process, speculating on where things could develop would be irresponsible at best.
