Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris heroically saved a drowning child over the weekend in Las Vegas.
The Rams DC was at Encore in Sin City with his family when a child started drowning in the pool. That’s when Morris leaped into action, got an AED (the device used to shock a heart) and helped save the three-year-old child’s life.
“I saw people calling 911 so my first question was, where is the AED? When I got back, we had a doctor on site that was able to start the compressions.

In today’s pass-happy NFL, narrowing this group to the top 10 was quite a challenge.
Just last year, a whopping 22 players amassed at least 1,000 receiving yards, with all of them being wideouts save for Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. To make this list, there needs to be a combination of track record and likely future success.
With a plethora of young receivers pushing to see inclusion on this list in the near future, including second-year men Chris Olave of the Saints and the Jets’ Garrett Wilson, it was a competitive group.
The Pacers sent a tweet with a photo of Bird at practice Tuesday, saying he was back with the team as a consultant. Twitter erupted.
Chelsea Mitchell may have graduated high school a few years ago, but ‘the fastest girl in Connecticut’ sees what is happening to the integrity of women’s sports with transgender athletes being allowed to compete. For that reason, she’s suing the state.
A Connecticut policy allows transgender athletes to compete in girl’s sports, and as a result, Mitchell lost over 20 races to biological males throughout her high school career. Mitchell is teaming up with three other women who ran high school track in Connecticut to challenge the policy in court.
The NFL is entering the so-called dead period of the offseason. With OTAs close to wrapping up and mandatory minicamps taking place in mid-June, the league will be quiet for a month before training camps open across the country.
While the 32 rosters are largely set, there’s still a chance we see some significant movement of star veterans. Looking around the league, there are a select few who make sense as either cut or trade candidates, including some recent Super Bowl champions.
Let’s take a look at 10 big names who could be on the move before the season begins.

The Big 12 might have its sights set on the Memphis Tigers.
Memphis was one of the programs the Big 12 did due diligence on before ultimately deciding to skip the Tigers in favor of UCF, Cincy, Houston and BYU.
All four of those programs will play their first season in the Big 12 this upcoming season. While Memphis, who is in the AAC, was initially passed over, the situation and calculus has changed as realignment and expansion continues to unfold across college sports.
Colorado and Deion Sanders will be all over national TV to open the 2023 college football season.
The Buffaloes went 1-11 in 2022, and have been a joke of a program for years. It’s been decades since anyone feared the team in Boulder.
Sanders has injected new life and plenty of energy into the program. The program’s spring game was sold out, bets are coming in on Colorado to win the national title and excitement is buzzing around the Buffaloes.
Now, the whole country will get a look at Deion Sanders and his team to open the season.
Blue Jays reliever Anthony Bass recently came under fire after sharing an anti-LGBTQ post on his Instagram account. Bass had shared a video to his Instagram stories on Monday which endorsed boycotts of companies that supported LGBTQ causes.
Bass issued a public apology for his social media post, but some fans in Toronto still weren’t pleased.
On Wednesday, Bass made his first appearance on the mound since the social media post, and he was greeted with a chorus of boos from Blue Jays supporters.
The Mexican side had not played an official game since May 7 but they were certainly up for the task in leg 1, defeating LAFC 2-1 at Estadio León.
