Pair of Chargers make the list of top-32 offensive tackles in the NFL
Pair of Chargers make the list of top-32 offensive tackles in the NFL The Chargers have revitalized their roster over the past few years, and that has started with the offensive line. When Jim Harbaugh was hired as the head coach over a year ago, it was clear the team would continue to invest heavily in the position. It's paid off and will continue to do so to keep franchise quarterback Justin Herbert as upright and healthy as possible. In turn, Los Angeles has formed one of the best offensive tackle duos in the NFL. Both Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt cracked Pro Football Focus' list of the top-32 OTs in football. Slater slotted in at No. 3 on the list after his second career Pro Bowl selection in 2024. Alt, coming off an impressive rookie campaign, was 16th. PFF's Zoltan Buday had this to say about the former's ascension during his time in Los Angeles: Even though Slater was already excelling in his first three seasons in the league, he elevated his play to a new level in 2024. His 89.9 PFF pass-blocking grade ranked third among tackles, while his 90.9 PFF overall grade placed second. Slater was the highest-ranked tackle in the AFC, as Tristan Wirfs and Jordan Mailata of the NFC were the only two rated higher. Now, the Chargers are set to enter an awkward stage with their franchise offensive tackle. The former Northwestern product is entering the final year of his rookie contract after the team picked up the fifth-year option. Slater held out of the beginning of OTAs a few weeks ago in hopes of landing a contract extension. There's no doubt whether or not he deserves a huge deal, it's just a matter of if the Chargers will pay him that kind of money. As for Alt, expect him to take that next step forward in his second NFL season in 2025, which could elevate him into the conversation of the game's best.

Local pharmacist saves two lives in one day
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A Kroger pharmacist is being recognized for her heroic acts last week. Kroger is commending one of its pharmacists for saving not one, but two lives during her work shift last week. According to Kroger, Pharmacist Megan Alt was attending to the drive-thru when a customer at the window began experiencing convulsions. Alt grabbed an epi pen, ran out the fire exit and administered the medication before calling 911. During that same shift, a security guard alerted Alt to an individual passed out in the store's restroom. Alt was able to administer Narcan and once again dialed 911 to save the person's life. 'We're so proud of Megan for taking extraordinary measures to care for her patients when they needed it most,' said Kroger. Alt is originally from Perrysburg and earned a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical science in 2018 from Cedarville University. She then earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree from Cedarville in 2021. The university is also praising Alt for her quick response to those in need. 'The Cedarville University School of Pharmacy, along with Megan's colleagues at Kroger, congratulate Megan on serving others well,' said Cedarville University. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Tokyo AI firm probed after inflating sales
Alt Inc. has grown quickly thanks to AI Gijiroku, its artificial intelligence-powered meeting transcription service. (Captured from the company website) A Tokyo-listed, fast-growing artificial intelligence firm is under investigation for allegedly inflating its sales figures through fictitious transactions, according to sources. Alt Inc. allegedly engaged in a fraudulent trading scheme by funneling money through collaborators, who then cycled the funds back to the company in the form of payments for AI Gijiroku, its automated meeting transcription service. Many of the accounts created through these purchases were reportedly inactive. Of the 6 billion yen ($41.9 million) in sales reported for the fiscal year ending December 2024, 4 billion yen may have been falsely recorded. Some company insiders are said to have admitted to the fabrication during interviews with authorities. The scheme is believed to have begun as early as 2021. Founded in 2014, Alt grew rapidly after the launch of AI Gijiroku in 2020, with sales surging more than 100-fold over the next four years. The flagship transcription service accounted for up to 90 percent of the company's reported sales. An Alt insider suggested that the company's manipulated sales figures played a role in securing its IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market in October last year. The Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission launched an investigation into the company in April, following a covert probe triggered by a whistleblower's report. In response to the investigation, Alt established a third-party committee to examine cases in which partner companies sold AI Gijiroku accounts that were never used, acknowledging the possibility of inflated sales. When contacted by The Asahi Shimbun, Alt declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation by the third-party committee.

Caitlin Clark Gold Vinyl 1/1 hits the market and what is the true hot dog rookie card?
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - MAY 17: Caitlin Clark #22 of the Indiana Fever plays against the Chicago Sky at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 17, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this Photograph, user is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) The 'next Messi,' aka 17-year-old wunderkind Lamine Yamal, got the Topps Now treatment this week with a card that features him alongside Travis Scott . Per usual, some lucky collectors have the potential to grab numbered parallels and one will end up with the 1/1 auto. I am going on record and saying that I absolutely love when they have non-sports stars on baseball cards. Advertisement Or even cross-over cards, like Wemby juggling at Yankee stadium or Jayden Daniels, Juju Watkins and Angel Reese throwing out the first pitch. Here are some of my favorite celeb-featured Topps cards: Finally, I want you to think of a celebrity that you would absolutely be thrilled about pulling while opening a pack. Think really hard. You got a card? OK, keep thinking… is this your card ? Again, I'm a big fan of the celebrity cards, whether they are First Pitch or Topps Now or in Allen & Ginter, however - and this is a big however - you should never consider a non-sport card auto or relic a 'hit' in a box. Especially a relic. But it feels like you're mostly setting up disappointment. And this is not Shin Lim slander, this goes for about 98% of the celebrities in the set. Speaking of Yamal, he's been a hot riser in the hobby over the last month, with a 42% increase in sales month-over-month according to Alt . Advertisement Even Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the Yamal craze. Watch for Yamal sales on eBay. If the user name is 'IWantOutOfMilwaukee' then you might be selling to a future Hall of Famer. The Caitlin Clark Gold Vinyl Prizm 1/1 has hit Alt auctions and this card is probably going to break all sorts of records. The timing is perfect, with the WNBA season just underway and Clark coming off a triple-double in the opening game against Chicago. She very well might be the league's MVP in just her second season. And while this 6-figure-plus card likely won't beat the $366,000 price tag for the Gold Vinyl 1/1 Prizm Auto that sold at the end of March, it's probably going to become the second most expensive women's sports card ever. Advertisement Very cool. Sponsor patches have officially reached the inside of baseball cards. This one's for the 'boy, cards have really gone too commercial for my taste' crowd. And the 'they'll put anything in cards' crowd as well. How's this for a hot hand : We The Hobby pulled seven 1/1's in a single case of 2024 Clearly Donruss FOTL. Ever since the Backyard Breaks scandal people were starting to wonder where their juiced boxes were ending up, well, I guess we now know! (Note: as you know I'm not a juiced-box-conspiracy-theorist. This is very fun to see, IMO). People are paying over $100 for the 70th Anniversary commemorative Key to Disneyland which was recently launched. It's a super fun search-for-rewards offering that Disney debuted and I suppose that if you aren't intending on making your way there this summer then it makes sense to grab one on eBay, but paying $100+ seems a little excessive at this point. Right? And finally, Bill Walton's personal collection of sports and music memorabilia is up for auction, including some incredible grails for any Grateful Dead fans. A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit a charity. Advertisement So, if you're a music and/or sports collector, then take out the old credit card and throw it down, big man . Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.
