Nelson Pizarro was charged with shooting a cop during a drug bust in January 2022. He’s now a for-hire driver thanks to Ryan Grant after the Super Bowl-winning running back bailed him out of jail.
Pizarro spent 11 months locked up after being charged with shooting Detective Dominick Libretti in Staten Island. Grant, who won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in 2011, paid his $500,000 bail.
According to the New York Post, Pizarro was put on house arrest as he awaits his trial but has been given permission to work as a livery driver.

The NBA announced its 2022–23 NBA All-Rookie teams on Monday, celebrating the brightest young stars in the league.
The first team is headlined by Rookie of the Year winner Paolo Banchero of the Magic, last year’s No. 1 draft pick. He was the only player who received a unanimous first-team selection. The 20-year-old forward averaged a team-high 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season.
Jazz center Walker Kessler, Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin, Kings forward Keegan Murray and Thunder forward Jalen Williams round out the All-Rookie first team.
Suns owner Mat Ishbia says he does not want Nuggets star Nikola Jokic to be suspended or fined over their altercation Sunday night in Game 4 of Phoenix’s playoff series with Denver.
Texans owner Cal McNair said Monday that neither he nor his wife forced the selection of C.J. Stroud in this year’s draft.
A $30-million legal battle between Tiger Woods and his ex-girlfriend has escalated, with Erica Herman accusing him of beginning their sexual relationship when she was his employee and threatening to fire her if she didn’t sign a nondisclosure agreement.
ESPN baseball analyst Eduardo Perez made a controversial comment about Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. during Sunday Night Baseball this past weekend. During the broadcast, Perez questioned Tatis’s superstar status, comparing him to Dodgers star Mookie Betts and saying, “That’s what a superstar looks like, Nando.”

“I made a comment last night … and as soon as I said it, I cringed.
Former Michigan State wide receiver Keon Coleman is one of the most sought-after players in the transfer portal. The 2021 four-star recruit was the Spartans’ leading receiver last season and caught 58 passes for 798 yards and seven touchdowns.
He stands 6-foot-4, 210 pounds with next-level burst and great hands. His tape speaks for itself.
After two years in East Lansing, Coleman entered the transfer portal just hours before the most recent window closed. Nobody saw it coming.
That was on April 30.
Now, eight days later, Coleman has his pick of the litter.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla has been under fire after Boston lost Game 4 vs. the 76ers Sunday 116–115, as his decision to not call a timeout during overtime proved costly. Instead of stopping the game to draw up a play with 19 seconds remaining, Mazzulla let the Celtics play despite having two timeouts remaining.
Initially, Mazzulla defended his decision after the game and argued that he’s trusted his team all year in those situations.

Aljamain Sterling is for real.
He continued his reign as bantamweight champion this past Saturday at UFC 288, defeating Henry Cejudo by split decision. Following the fight, a defeated Cejudo spoke highly of Sterling, who has now set the record for most title defenses—three—during a single bantamweight title reign.
“He beat the ‘Triple C,’” says Cejudo. “Put him at number one [among all bantamweights]. Look at the people he’s already beat.
New Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said in a pre-draft interview with Uninterrupted’s The Shop that he felt “disrespected” when Ohio State brought in five-star quarterback Quinn Ewers in the fall of 2021.
Ewers, who was ranked as the No. 1 player in the high school class of 2022, reclassified up one year to join the Buckeyes early in fall camp ahead of the ’21 season. That move didn’t sit well with Stroud, who already had sat behind Justin Fields in the 2020 season.
“I kind of felt disrespected. I didn’t like that,” Stroud admitted.
