One day after collapsing on air before Real Madrid’s 3–2 exhibition win over AC Milan at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, ESPN analyst Shaka Hislop took to Twitter to update fans on his health.
“Well, that was awkward. What a 24 hours this has been,” Hislop said in a video tweeted by ESPN on Monday afternoon. “Every so often in life gives you a moment to pause and this was mine. There’s so much I have to be thankful for—my wife, kids, family, loved ones, friends.”

The NFL suspended Broncos defensive end Eyioma Uwazurike for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, and it attracted a range of reactions on Monday as the league continues to bring the hammer down on offenders.
Uwazurike, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of Iowa State, received an indefinite suspension for “betting on games” during the ’22 season. The violation will sideline the 25-year-old for at least the ’23 season, with Uwazurike “eligible to petition for reinstatement no earlier than July 24, 2024.
A Division-III college in New York unveiled its first new stadium playing surface since 2006 last week and it immediately set the internet on fire— not unlike the field itself. SUNY Morrisville rolled out its brand-new, all-black turf.
Every inch of the field is jet black, except for hashmarks and boundary lines for multiple sports. Boise State, Eastern Washington, Eastern Kentucky, Coastal Carolina, and Central Arkansas all play on non-green turf fields. Not one of them is black.
SUNY Morrisville has the first all-black field in the country.
