Amid the controversy and competition for the starting quarterback role, Sanders addressed the speeding reports during a Twitch stream. Responding to claims he was clocked at 101 MPH, he appeared unfazed. On his own channel on the platform, the player admitted, 'I've made some wrong choices, I can own up to it - I learn from them.'
Earlier this week, Sanders was cited for speeding while driving a Dodge TRX truck on a suburban Cleveland highway. According to reports, Strongsville Police pulled him over around 12:30 AM on Interstate 71, where he was allegedly driving well above the 60 MPH speed limit near the Ohio Turnpike, as reported by Marca.
He faces a minimum fine of $250 for the incident, which police classify as a fourth-degree misdemeanor. However, this wasn't his first run-in with speeding laws—he was reportedly stopped earlier this month as well.

A prior incident took place on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio, where Sanders was clocked driving 91 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, according to the State Patrol. Court records also show that he failed to appear for a scheduled hearing on the matter this past Monday. Peter John-Baptiste, who is the spokesperson for Browns, told AP that "the team has directly addressed the fines with Sanders, and he will handle them appropriately."
The two ticket incidents in such a short span raised several eyebrows against Sanders in Cleveland.

Rishabh Pant at risk of ICC sanction for violating Code of Conduct after 'needless' outburst at umpire

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant could be at risk of facing sanctions for breaching not one, but two articles of the ICC Code of Conduct following his heated argument with the on-field umpire Paul Reiffel on Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against England in Leeds. The act even received criticism from former cricketers Ravi Shastri and Mark Butcher on air, who deemed it "needless." Rishabh Pant (L) complains about the shape of the ball to Australia's umpire Paul Reiffel (R) on day 3 of the first cricket test match between England and India (AFP) The incident happened after the penultimate ball of the 61st over of England's first innings at Headingley on Sunday, after Mohammed Siraj was hit for a boundary by Harry Brook. Pant seemed visibly unhappy with the condition of the ball as he approached the umpire to get it inspected. Reiffel checked it using the ball gauge and seemed satisfied with the shape of it as he gave it back to Pant. But the India star seemed "frustrated," as he threw the ball away back-handed on the ground and stormed off. The English crowd immediately booed Pant. "When you start wanting to change the ball every now and then, it's a clear indication that nothing's happening. We want something to happen. And that was frustration from Pant," said Shastri in the commentary. Butcher, on the other hand, highlighted the umpire's reaction to Pant's act, saying: "I'm not sure there was any need for that. (We) know that he's a showman and part of that is probably in order to get a reaction from the crowd, but I'm not sure Paul Reiffel appreciated it very much." Will ICC punish Rishabh Pant? Pant is likely to have violated two articles of the Code of Conduct during his heated exchange with the umpire. The India vice-captain could be charged for violating, which pertains to 'showing dissent at an umpire's decision during an international match.' He could be charged with Level 1 or 2 offense under clause '(a) excessive, obvious disappointment with an Umpire's decision, and (h) arguing or entering into a prolonged discussion with the Umpire about his/her decision.' The other article Pant violated was Article 2.9, which pertains to "Throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a Player, Player Support Personnel, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during an International Match." India, in fact, had the umpire conduct multiple checks as Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah were seen discussing the matter a few times. India closed day three at 90/2, thus leading by 96 runs in Leeds.

Russia conducts massive drone attack on Ukraine's Kyiv as hopes for peace hangs by a thin thread

Diplomatic efforts to end the three-year war have stalled, with the last direct meeting between the two sides almost three weeks ago and no follow-up talks scheduled. read more Residents react as Ukrainian rescuers conduct a search and rescue work in a heavily damaged residential building following the Russian missile strike in Kyiv on June 17, 2025, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A Russian attack on Ukraine killed at least 14 people and wounded dozens in the capital, authorities said on June 17, with more wounded reported in the Odesa and Chernigiv regions. (Photo by Genya SAVILOV / AFP) Ukraine said Monday 'another massive attack' on Kyiv by Russian drones was underway, a day after the country's top military commander vowed to increase the 'scale and depth' of strikes on Russia. Diplomatic efforts to end the three-year war have stalled, with the last direct meeting between the two sides almost three weeks ago and no follow-up talks scheduled. 'Another massive attack on the capital. Possibly, several waves of enemy drones,' said a statement from Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Two people were hospitalised in the Solomianski district, said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, and two others were injured near a metro station in the Sviatochinski district, Tkachenko later said. AFP journalists in Kyiv heard the buzzing of a drone flying over the city centre and explosions, as well as gunfire. They saw around 10 people sheltering in the basement of a residential building in central Kyiv waiting for the attack to end, most of them scrolling their phones for news. The latest strikes came after Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky vowed to intensify strikes on Russia. 'We will not just sit in defence. Because this brings nothing and eventually leads to the fact that we still retreat, lose people and territories,' he told reporters, including AFP. Syrsky said Ukraine would continue its strikes on Russian military targets, which he said had proved 'effective'. 'Of course, we will continue. We will increase the scale and depth,' he said. Fair response Ukraine has launched retaliatory strikes on Russia throughout the war, targeting energy and military infrastructure sometimes hundreds of kilometres from the front line. Kyiv says the strikes are a fair response to deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and civilians. At least four people were killed in an overnight Russian strike on an apartment building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, while a strike on a Ukrainian army training ground later in the day killed three others, officials said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In wide-ranging remarks, Syrsky conceded that Russia had some advantages in drone warfare, particularly in making fibre-optic drones that are tethered and difficult to jam. 'Here, unfortunately, they have an advantage in both the number and range of their use,' he said. He also claimed that Ukraine still held 90 square kilometres (35 square miles) of territory in Russia's Kursk region, where Kyiv launched an audacious cross-border incursion last August. 'These are our pre-emptive actions in response to a possible enemy offensive,' he said. Russia said in April that it had gained full control of the Kursk region and denies that Kyiv has a presence there. Russia occupies around a fifth of Ukraine and claims to have annexed four Ukrainian regions as its own since launching its invasion in 2022 – in addition to Crimea, which it captured in 2014. Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately sabotaging a peace deal to prolong its full-scale offensive on the country and to seize more territory. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The Russian army said Sunday that it had captured the village of Petrivske in Ukraine's northeast Kharkiv region. Russian forces also sent at least 47 drones and fired three missiles towards Ukraine between late Saturday and early Sunday, the Ukrainian air force said.

Alex Tuch's $59M deal update could end trade drama and lock him in long-term with Sabres

Sabres may seal the deal with Alex Tuch as $59 million extension update emerges (Getty Images) The Buffalo Sabres are approaching a crossroads with one of their key players—Alex Tuch. As the Syracuse-born winger enters the final season of his contract, the front office is staring down a complicated choice: invest in a long-term extension or explore trade options that could aid their ever-stalled rebuild. Alex Tuch's future with the Sabres gets clearer with $59M contract extension in the works Since being acquired from the Vegas Golden Knights, Alex Tuch has become a consistent force for Buffalo. His most recent campaign was a testament to that, tallying 36 goals and 31 assists. However, extending him won't come cheap. According to The Athletic, locking Tuch in for the long haul would likely require a seven-year commitment worth around $59.5 million—a deal that would stretch into his decline years. That's where the dilemma lies. The Sabres are not yet a team knocking on the door of championship contention. Committing such a hefty sum to a player nearing 30 only makes sense if Buffalo truly believes it will be a playoff threat in the next two to three seasons. Unfortunately, the franchise's long history of stop-and-start rebuilding offers little certainty in that regard. Tuch has at least made one part of the negotiation easier. He's been vocal about his desire to stay in upstate New York, giving the Sabres a leg up in talks. It's far more complicated when a player is already eyeing the exit. Still, the decision isn't just about desire—it's about direction. 'Another factor for Buffalo to consider is that there are very few teams selling right now, which could increase their return on Tuch, as some teams will be left empty-handed after the initial scramble of unrestricted free agency,' noted Josh Cybulski of Pro Hockey Rumors. He added, 'Buffalo could wait a bit after July 1 to assess the trade market and see if any moves pique their interest; if not, they could then consider an extension. ' With July 1 fast approaching, the Sabres must weigh short-term gains against long-term vision. A trade could accelerate their rebuild if the return is right. But letting go of a hometown star who wants to stay—especially one still producing—won't be easy. Buffalo's decision on Tuch could signal how much faith they still have in their current trajectory.
