Falcons rookie Cobee Bryant gifts himself $100,000 worth bling piece
Atlanta Falcons rookie Cobee Bryant rocked an insane piece of diamond jewellery in a video. The video shows the defensive back wearing the custom-made 'HawkMamba' chain, which features half of his face and half of a hawk's face. The glow-in-the-dark bling piece is said to be worth over $100,000. 'Insane: Falcons rookie DB Cobee Bryant shows off his new custom 'HawkMamba' glow-in-the-dark chain worth over 100 THOUSAND dollars,' NFL insider Dov Kleiman reported through a post on X. According to Kleiman, the custom-made jewellery piece is a gift from the former Kansas Jayhawks star for signing a bumper three-year deal with the Falcons worth $3 million after going undrafted in the 2025 NFL Draft. 'A gift to himself after going undrafted and then signing a rookie 3-Year $3M contract with Atlanta. The chain is half his face and half a hawk,' the report added. After signing for the Falcons in undrafted free agency, Bryant is said to be impressing the coaching staff a lot. Head coach Raheem Morris has described Bryant as a "standout" and a "discovery." Before getting into the NFL, Cobee Bryant appeared for the Kansas Jayhawks in 47 games during his college football career. During that time, he logged 128 tackles as a defensive back, 107 of which were solo efforts. He also raked up 11 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks and 13 interceptions. The impressive DB also defended 22 passes and scored two pick-sixes. Bryant was the first Jayhawk in Big 12 history to be named First Team All-Big 12 in three straight seasons. His defensive record also shows two fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery for a touchdown. Cobee Bryant has been a standout during his college career, and Raheem Morris hopes that form translates into performance in the NFL as well.

Father and son rescued after boat sinks off Virginia Beach coast
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – The Coast Guard rescued a father and son 34 miles southwest of Virginia Beach Thursday morning. 30-year-old Jeffery Hudson was rescued alongside his father 60-year-old Robert Hudson after their sporting boat began to take on water, causing the boat to sink. At 9:07 a.m. Thursday, Coast Guard Sector Virginia Command Center watchstanders received a distress call from the crew of the 57-foot sport fisher boat Turn Me Loose, reporting their vessel was sinking and they were abandoning ship into their life raft. The watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast (UMIB) which led to the dispatch of a 45-foot Response Boat (Coast Guard Station Little Creek), a Jayhawk helicopter crew (Coast Guard Air Station Elizabeth City MH-60), and patrol (USCGC Pompano WPD 87339). The crew of USCGC Calhoun (WMSL 759) and Virginia Beach Fire Boat 12 also responded after hearing the UMIB. The Coast Guard was able to pinpoint the location with the boaters' help. At 10:03 a.m., the Calhoun crew and a rescue helicopter arrived on scene to find the two men in a life raft. The Calhoun crew brought the men to safety and determined neither had any injuries. The men were ultimately brought to Virginia Beach Fire Boat 12, where they were reunited with their family. 'This successful rescue highlights the importance of preparedness and the effectiveness of coordinated efforts between multiple agencies and assets,' said Chief Warrant Officer 3 Daniel Butierries, Sector Virginia command duty officer. 'The quick response and the mariners' preparedness significantly contributed to the rescue.' The Turn Me Loose remains partially submerged approximately 30 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. The Coast Guard has issued a broadcast notice to advise mariners to avoid the submerged object. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Chilling mayday call from pilot of doomed plane before it plunges into ocean
The Coast Guard confirmed on Sunday that all six people on board the doomed aircraft that crashed into the ocean near San Diego after taking off from San Diego International Airport have died In yet another American aviation tragedy, a small plane carrying six people nosedived into the ocean shortly after takeoff on Sunday with authorities confirming that the crash claimed the lives of everyone on board. The doomed twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed at around 12.30pm on Sunday in San Diego, just three miles west of Point Loma. The Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has confirmed the deaths of all six passengers, but their identities are pending official release. Harrowing audio from air traffic control, shared by CBS 8, captured the pilot's desperate plea for higher altitude immediately after leaving San Diego International Airport. The aircraft barely managed to reach 1000ft during its doomed ascent, with the pilot uttering "mayday" over the radio before falling silent. Coast Guard crews swiftly located a debris field off the coast near San Diego's Point Loma area on Sunday. According to The Associated Press reports, the ocean at the crash site has a depth of around 200ft. Following the devastating incident, the Coast Guard launched a major search operation, involving a Jayhawk helicopter, a fixed-wing aircraft, a cutter, and two smaller boats, continuing their search until dusk. "We've located a debris field, but I don't have details on its size yet," Coast Guard Petty Officer Ryan Graves told NBC 7 shortly before 3.30pm on Sunday. A surfer told NBC 7 about the chilling moment he saw the aircraft plummet: "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. But after I saw this splash, about six seconds later, it was dead silent. I knew that they went in the water, nose first, at a high speed," Tyson Wislofsky revealed. After confirming that the doomed plane belongs to vitamin producers Optimal Health Systems, there's been an update from the company that the FAA records might be behind the times. The Arizona-based firm, which sold the plane just this year, said it passed to private hands. Founder Doug Grant joined in mourning, stating: "We personally know several of the passengers onboard, and our sincerest condolences are offered to those affected by the tragedy, all of whom are incredible members of our small community."

Search underway for six missing passengers from Cessna plane that crashed off San Diego coast
A search is underway after a small plane carrying six people crashed into the ocean off the coast of San Diego Sunday, authorities said. A twin-engine Cessna 414 crashed around 12:30 p.m. Sunday, not long after taking off, about three miles west of Point Loma. Coast Guard officials said they found a debris field off the coast in an area where water is estimated to be about 200 feet deep. The Coast Guard said on X that a Jayhawk helicopter, a fixed-wing aircraft, a cutter and two small boats were dispatched to search for survivors. First responders across multiple agencies scoured the area into the evening in search of survivors, though none had been located as of Monday. A surfer who witnessed the plane tumbling out of the sky thought it was doing stunts, he told NBC Los Angeles. "I saw him come down at an angle. He wasn't flying straight to the ground," said Tyson Wislofsky. "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. But after I saw this splash, about six seconds later, it was dead silent. I knew that they went in the water, nose first, at a high speed.' The plane is owned by Optimal Health Systems, a nutritional supplement company based out of Pima, Arizona, about two and a half hours outside Phoenix, according to NBC. The plane took off from San Diego International Airport and was headed for Phoenix, according to data from FlightAware. The National Transportation Board and Federal Aviation Administration are investigating. The identities of the six people aboard the plane were not immediately known. The crash comes less than a month after a small Cessna plane crashed into a San Diego neighborhood, killing six people. With reporting from the Associated Press.
