Joe Lombardo said Wednesday that legislative leaders and the Athletics had reached a tentative agreement on a $1.5 billion stadium funding plan that would lure the franchise to Las Vegas.

NFL – Jaguars sign ex-Broncos PK Brandon McManus, trade Riley Patterson to Lions The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Brandon McManus in hopes of upgrading their special teams. The move came two days after Denver dropped the veteran kicker and former team captain. The Jaguars initially waived kicker Riley Patterson to make room for McManus on their 90-man roster but ended up trading him to Detroit for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2026. Patterson was with the Lions in 2021 and during training camp in 2022. McManus had been scheduled to count nearly $5 million against Denver’s salary cap in 2023.

Indy 500 – 4 years after missing 500 with Alonso, McLaren Racing very much a contender McLaren Racing missed the Indianapolis 500 in 2019 with Fernando Alonso in a humiliating defeat that could have stopped the team from making a full-time move to IndyCar. But McLaren did enter the series in 2020 and has slowly built itself into a top contender. Arrow McLaren will start all four of its cars in the top 12 in Sunday’s 107th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The team believes the chemistry it has built inside the organization has helped turn it into one of IndyCar’s elite.

But McLaren did enter the series in 2020 and has slowly built itself into a top contender. Arrow McLaren will start all four of its cars in the top 12 in Sunday’s 107th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” The team believes the chemistry it has built inside the organization has helped turn it into one of IndyCar’s elite.

Manfred noted that “it’s very difficult to have a timeline” regarding the move “until there’s actually a deal to be considered.” The MLB owners meetings take place June 13-15 in New York. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo said Wednesday that legislative leaders and the Athletics had reached a tentative agreement on a $1.5 billion stadium funding plan that would lure the franchise to Las Vegas.

NFL – Suspended Lions WR Williams says he wasn’t aware of NFL rules on gambling Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams, suspended for the first six games of the season, said he was unaware of the NFL gambling policy that he violated.

Moore along with Washington’s Shaka Toney for the entire 2023 season in April for betting on NFL games last year, adding they may petition for reinstatement. Williams and teammate Stanley Berryhill were benched for six games for betting on non-NFL games at a league facility. NFL – Jaguars sign ex-Broncos PK Brandon McManus, trade Riley Patterson to Lions The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Brandon McManus in hopes of upgrading their special teams. The move came two days after Denver dropped the veteran kicker and former team captain. The Jaguars initially waived kicker Riley Patterson to make room for McManus on their 90-man roster but ended up trading him to Detroit for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2026. Patterson was with the Lions in 2021 and during training camp in 2022. McManus had been scheduled to count nearly $5 million against Denver’s salary cap in 2023.

You're not likely to find the words of English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge hanging in the lockers of professional athletes now or ever. But the line “Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink” from Coleridge's poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” is quite applicable to the situation that is endemic in American sports these days. Everywhere you turn, you're going to see some reference to legalized sports betting and it ain't subtle. Sometimes, it's commercials between innings and during timeouts. These days, you're just as likely to see comedian Kevin Hart barking in one gambling ad than you are, say, LeBron James or Adley Rutschman. In other instances, it might be announcer references to betting odds or point spreads during the game. In some cases, the allusion to gambling is right there on the court or on the field, so you don't miss the Invitation to lay down a bet or two or three or a hundred. Yet, while all this wagering is going on, the men and women who make it possible, the athletes are barred from taking part in it. Indeed, the NFL laid down indefinite suspensions against three players – Shaka Toney of the Washington Commanders and Quintez Cephus and C.J Moore both of the Detroit Lions – for betting on NFL games. The league also suspended two other Detroit players, Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williams for six games each for gambling on non-NFL games. Cephus and Moore, who were both cut by the Lions Friday, are the fourth and fifth NFL players to draw bans of at least a year in the past four years for wagering on football games. This is in keeping with the hard line drawn by NFL Commissioner Smilin Roger Goodell, who said 10 years ago quote “The N.F.L. cannot be compensated in damages for the harm that sports gambling poses to the goodwill, character and integrity of N.F.L. football unquote. That's when the NFL was lobbying Congress to pass legislation barring legalized sports gambling. However, once the Supreme Court gave its stamp of approval to wagering in 2018, all bets were off, so to speak. To demonstrate the pretzel logic the NFL has displayed on gambling, consider that Josh Shaw, one of the players who drew a lengthy suspension back in 2019 was cut from the Arizona Cardinals. Shaw has not played since he was suspended. Meanwhile, a sports book operates at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the place where, you guessed it, the Cardinals play. The NFL and Goodell are so concerned about the pernicious influence that gambling can have on football that they not only have a team, the Raiders, operating in the capital of gambling, Las Vegas, but next February's Super Bowl, the holiest day on the American sports calendar, will be played in Vegas. Goodell and his commissioner cronies have every right to be alarmed about the image of athletes laying down bets on games they're involved in, though there's no evidence that happened in last week's suspensions. But as long as the leagues take the Claude Rains approach to gambling, they can't be shocked, shocked that the players want some of the action. And that's how I see it for this week.

Welcome to THE Sports Law Podcast! We keep you informed on everything at the intersection of sports and the law. Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust), Justin Mader (@MaderLaw), and Zach Bryson (@ZacharySBryson) break down the latest Sports Law stories. In this episode, the stories stretch from the NFL to the WWE to Formula One. The NFL has suspended 5 different players for violating the league's Gambling Policy. (2:07) The league suspended four Lions players including wide receivers Jameson Williams, Quintez Cephus, Stanley Berryhill, and safety C.J. Moore. The fifth player suspended was the Washington Commanders' defensive end, Shaka Toney. Berryhill and Williams were handed a 6-game suspension while Cephus, Moore, and Toney are suspended indefinitely with the ability to revisit the suspension after one year. The Lions have since cut ties with Cephus and Moore. Stories have emerged about Ohio State Quarterback and draft prospect CJ Stroud. (16:19) As part of the draft process, players take a cognitive test that is meant to determine multiple factors that the company that administers the test helps determine mental acuity. Some of those scores were leaked in the past week and according to the leak, Stroud allegedly scored an abysmal score of 18%. Other QBs in the draft scored around the 90s and 80s. According to Brandon Ally of S2Cognition, some of the scores on this leak have been misconstrued. He did not mention specific names but hinted that Stroud's score might be one of these. Another story from the draft, the draft stock of Will Levis has been on the rise in recent days. (25:55) In a bizarre bit of internet anonymity, a Redditor posted that they had inside information that WIll Levis would be picked in the No. 1 overall spot. In just the past couple of weeks, Will Levis odds to be the first overall have gone from 40-1 to 4-1. A German Magazine has come under fire recently for an article published in which tye used AI to create a fake interview with F1 World Champion Michael Schumacher. (34:50) Following the release of the fake interview, the Schumacher family reportedly explored their legal options against Die Aktuelle. Micheal Schumacher suffered a skiing incident in late 2013 which caused a traumatic brain injury. Since the accident, the family has kept his recovery and continued care very private. Amid the backlash for the article, editor-in-chief Anne Hoffmann was let go from the company. Former WWE wrestler Ted DiBiase, Jr. has been charged as part of the Mississippi Welfare saga that has previously involved Brett Farve. (46:08) DiBiase was charged with six counts of wire fraud, two counts of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds, four counts of money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and to commit theft concerning programs receiving federal funds. He has since pled not guilty and has been released until his court appearance. If it goes to trial, the DiBiase charges could shed light on others involved. *** Have a topic you want to write about?

The NFL suspends 5 players for alleged violations of gambling policy.

The Lions cut ties with Cephus and Moore in wake of the suspensions. “These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules," Lions GM Brad Holmes said in a statement. "We have made the decision to part ways with Quintez and C.J. immediately. We are disappointed by the decision making demonstrated by Stanley and Jameson and will work with both players to ensure they understand the severity of these violations and have clarity on the league rules moving forward.” A representative for the players' union, the NFLPA, declined comment on Friday.
