Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders ticketed for speeding twice in June
Associated Press
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio (AP) — Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been ticketed for speeding twice this month in Ohio.
Sanders was accused of driving a Dodge TRX pickup truck 101 mph (163 kilometers per hour) on a suburban Cleveland interstate earlier this week.
The Strongsville Police Department stopped Sanders at about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday in a 60 mph (97 kilometers per hour) zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a report provided to local media.
Sanders, 23, could pay a $250 fine to waive the fourth-degree misdemeanor case, according to police.
But it wasn't the first time he'd been pulled over for allegedly speeding since joining the Browns.
That ticket came after he was stopped by the Ohio State Patrol on June 5 in Brunswick Hills, Ohio. Sanders was pulled over for going 91 mph (147 kilometers per hour) in a 65 mph (105 kilometer) zone, Ohio State Patrol told WKBN-TV.
According to Medina Municipal Court records, Sanders failed to appear for an arraignment for that ticket on Monday and owes $269 in court costs.
Browns spokesman Peter John- Baptiste told Cleveland.com Thursday that: 'he is taking care of the tickets.'
Sanders, the son of Hall of Fame player Deion Sanders, was drafted in the fifth round (144th overall) of the NFL draft this spring, even though many projections had him going in the first round. He played under his father at the University of Colorado.
Sanders is competing against three other quarterbacks with the Browns. They wrapped up minicamp last week and will open training camp in late July.

Dutch soccer player Quincy Promes extradited from Dubai to face prison in cocaine smuggling case
Associated Press THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Dutch soccer player Quincy Promes was being extradited Friday from Dubai to the Netherlands, where he faces a prison sentence for involvement in cocaine smuggling, the prosecutor's office told The Associated Press. The Dutch public prosecution service confirmed to the AP that Promes was en route to the Netherlands, in Dutch custody. Promes, who scored seven goals in 50 international matches for the Netherlands before legal issues derailed his international career, was convicted last year of complicity in cocaine smuggling and sentenced in his absence to six years in prison. Amsterdam District Court ruled that Promes was involved in the import and export of hundreds of kilograms (pounds) of cocaine in 2020. His lawyers told judges he denied the allegations. In 2023, Promes was found guilty of stabbing his cousin in the leg and was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Both of Promes' convictions are currently under appeal. Promes, a 33-year-old former player for Ajax and Sevilla, had been playing for Spartak Moscow and living in Russia from 2021 until last year, when he was reportedly arrested in Dubai around the time that Spartak was there for friendly games. More recently, he had been playing with United FC, a second-tier club in Dubai. ___ AP soccer: in this topic

This 79-yard run by George Rogers is the Saints Play of the Day
This 79-yard run by George Rogers is the Saints Play of the Day Rogers set a record which still hasn't been broken after 44 years We're on to Day 79 in our countdown to the New Orleans Saints' season opener, which means the Saints Play of the Day is the longest rushing attempt in franchise history. Back in 1981, rookie running back George Rogers gave the Saints a spark on a 79-yard carry, which you can see here in an old-school highlight reel. Rogers took the handoff from Archie Manning and dodged a tackle to break out into the open field. A block from veteran wide receiver Guido Merkens bought enough time for Rogers to work his way to the goal line, where he dove through a Browns defender's tackle for the score. It was a gutsy effort which kept the Saints in it against one of the AFC's top teams that year. It was an impressive play, but what's most surprising about it is that Rogers set a record no other Saints running back has broken. His 79-yard scamper remains the longest rush by anyone in a Saints uniform over the last 44 years. Think about all the great players who have worn black and gold in that time -- fan favorites like Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush, plus first-round picks like Mark Ingram II and Reggie Bush. Playmakers like Taysom Hill and Rashid Shaheed are still working to meet the standard Rogers set, too.

Former NBA great Vlade Divac breaks a hip in motorcycle accident in Montenegro
Associated Press PODGORICA, Montenegro (AP) — Former NBA center Vlade Divac underwent emergency surgery after breaking a hip in a fall from his motorcycle in Montenegro, doctors said Friday. The accident happened Thursday on a road near the Montenegrin Adriatic Sea coast. Hospital officials said the 57-year-old Divac sustained a fracture and that an artificial hip was implanted. 'During the day, a surgical procedure was performed,' said Ljubica Mitrovic, a spokeswoman of the hospital in the town of Risan. 'He is in a stable general and physical condition and is under a careful supervision of the medical staff.' The 7-foot-1 (2.16m) Serbian center started and ended his 16-year NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers. He also played for the Charlotte Hornets and Sacramento Kings. He was an All-Star in 2001. He later served as general manager of the Kings. When he joined the Lakers in 1989, he was among the first group of European players to transfer to the NBA. Divac was also the first player born and trained outside the United States to play in over 1,000 games in the NBA. He was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019. Divac served two terms as head of Serbia's Olympic Committee. ___ AP NBA: recommended
