Police have resubmitted a misdemeanor aggravated menacing charge against Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon.
The 26-year-old running back is facing the charge after allegedly waving a gun in a woman’s face on January 21. However, the charge was dismissed the following day.
At the time, police said they needed more time to collect evidence before they re-submitted any charges,
“This decision was reached following the discovery of new evidence during the investigative process,” a statement from the Cincinnati Police Department said.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes could not stop himself from laughing at the terrible first pitch his star tight end Travis Kelce threw out ahead of the Guardians home opener against the Mariners on Friday.
Moments after the pitch—one that Kelce spiked, sending the ball to the ground and rolling past home—the two-time Super Bowl winner and NFL MVP likely had his biggest laugh of the day.
“Ayyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 @tkelce,” Mahomes tweeted.

Travis Kelce is one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history, so obviously he spends more time catching balls instead of throwing them.
This was crystal clear when the Super Bowl champion tight end took the mound to throw out a ceremonial first pitch at a Cleveland Guardians game on Friday.
Maybe it was the fact that his mom — star of Super Bowl LVII, Donna Kelce — was watching, or maybe it was the gravity of being an Ohio native and throwing the fist pitch in Cleveland.
Whatever, the reason was, there’s no denying that Kelce completely muffed the first pitch.

Travis Kelce is exceptional at a lot of things and surely an outstanding tight end for the Chiefs. 
But his pitching skills might need some work. 
The eight-time Pro Bowler threw out the first pitch at the Guardians’ 2023 home opener against the Mariners on Friday and it was certainly not a Cy Young Award-worthy effort.
As he gathered his confidence on the mound, Kelce fired up the crowd. However, when the moment to deliver came, his pitch didn’t come close to reaching home plate.

Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons will continue anchoring the Titans defense for the foreseeable future after reportedly agreeing to terms on a massive extension on Friday.
Tennessee inked Simmons, 25, to a four-year deal worth $94 million, including $66 million in guaranteed money and a $24 million signing bonus, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. News of the Pro Bowl defensive lineman’s extension was first reported by ESPN’s Turron Davenport.

UConn star shooting guard Jordan Hawkins, an instrumental member of the national champion Huskies, announced Friday on ESPN’s NBA Today that he is declaring for the 2023 NBA draft.
Hawkins enjoyed a stellar sophomore season in which he averaged 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. The first team All-Big East member was one of the nation’s top shooters from beyond the arc, hitting at a 38.8% clip from deep.

Less than a day after facing ridicule online over a new sponsorship patch, the Mets announced on Friday their decision to go in a different direction ahead of debuting the rebranded jerseys. Except, the club’s plan may not exactly do it any favors when it comes to avoiding more criticism from MLB fans.
Mets general manager Steve Cohen addressed the commentary (and jokes) that went viral following Thursday’s unveiling of a buzzworthy, red and white uniform patch in partnership with New York-Presbyterian Hospital.

Over 235,000 Major League Baseball games have been played in the history of the league, but somehow the sport still manages to give fans things they haven’t seen before—or have rarely ever seen, at least. That was the case with the outing for Marlins starter Edward Cabrera against the Mets on Friday afternoon. 
Cabrera was chased out of the game early, throwing 85 pitches in just 2.2 innings before exiting. He struggled to find the strike zone, throwing just 47 strikes on the day.
