Sheriff’s deputies in Nebraska issued criminal mischief citations to NINE kids last week, after they ran and jumped into fences in neighborhoods. It’s a trend that was apparently inspired by the Kool-Aid Man. It’s a trend of kids mimicking the Kool-Aid Man by throwing themselves through structures on people’s properties. There’s even Ring camera footage of a few teens bursting through a fence.
At least eight properties were hit, with an estimated damage of several thousand dollars per house.
It’s unclear if this was a stupid idea by THIS group of teens . . . or if it’s part of a broader social media trend.
The Denver Broncos are currently for sale, and there are some indications the franchise could go for a record $5Billion. But that’s nothing compared to what Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones thinks he could get for America’s Team. The 79-year-old businessman told NBC Sports this week that he could sell the Cowboys for “more than $10 billion.” Jones, however, added that he would not entertain such an offer, insisting that he “will never sell the Cowboys” as long as he remains owner.
NBA Playoffs
First on Friday
The Celtics forced game 7 by beating the Bucks in Milwaukee Friday night 108-95
Golden State eliminated Memphis 110-96
The Warriors now head to the West Finals
Yesterday Boston blew out Milwaukee 109-81 to clinch a spot in the East Finals
They will travel to Miami to face the Heat….Game one tomorrow night 8:30 on ESPN
Maybe the biggest shock of the playoffs
The Mavericks blow out the Suns in Pheonix 123-90 and will now face the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals
Game 1 on Wednesday night at 9pm on TNT
It’s now the fifth time Suns star Chris Paul has lost a series after going up 2-0, which includes last year’s Finals collapse to the Milwaukee Bucks. He’s the only player with that dubious distinction in NBA history. Paul says he will not retire and expects to be back for his 18th season next year.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is taking the offense to the Bahamas, where they will spend time bonding and putting in some work.
Going to the Bahamas will give the Browns’ offense a chance to get to know each other.
There are multiple new players on the offense, so this kind of thing is necessary. Watson is joined by Amari Cooper, David Bell, Jakeem Grant, Jerome Ford, and others, as new members of the team. He has secured a field for the offense to work on and has brought the entire thing together. Don’t count out the defense from doing something similar. If that happens, someone like Myles Garrett or Denzel Ward would likely lead the charge.
NFL officials are scheduled to meet with Deshaun Watson this week on whether or not he violated the code of conduct policy
