Current Events Dec. 9-13

CLEVELAND -- Browns running back Nick Chubb broke his foot Sunday in the third quarter of Cleveland's 21-7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said.

The injury ends Chubb's season with three games remaining.

Stefanski said he believed Chubb's foot was stepped on. Chubb's last snap came with 10:59 remaining in the third quarter, one play after an 8-yard run.

Chubb missed the first six games of the season while he rehabbed the severe left knee injury that he sustained in Week 2 of the 2023 season. In eight games, Chubb rushed for 332 yards and scored four touchdowns (three rushing). In his return from the injury, he averaged career-low marks in yards per carry (3.3), yards before contact per rush (1.25) and yards after contact per rush (1.72).

A four-time Pro Bowl rusher, Chubb is slated to become an unrestricted free agent after the season. He said earlier in the week he would like to finish his career with the Browns, who selected him with the 35th pick in the 2018 draft.

"I can't tell you how much I respect him as a person, what he means to this football team," Stefanski said. "So, really, really disappointed about this injury. Does not change the fact that he continues to inspire this football team with how he approaches every single day. And I know this is another obstacle that he will overcome."

Luigi Mangiones steam video game account has been uncovered

 The account believed to have belonged to the UHC CEO shooter, Luigi Mangione, was discovered. The fact the shooters name was shared with Mario brother "Luigi" was a joke not lost on the individual, as the video game mascot is his profile picture. Coaming through the account reveals he has played many popular games for long periods of time, such as PUBG, Terraria, Disco Elysium, and most infamously "Among Us". A popular social deduction game where players try to figure out who is the "impostor", an assassin among the group who works to take out everyone else and remain undetected. The Among Us social media account on Twitter tweeted out the word "um" following the news, and the post received 436k likes.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo plans to play Thursday night against the Los Angeles Rams despite his sprained foot, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Guerendo, who is listed as questionable, insists he "feels good," sources said.

The 49ers (6-7) also have defensive end Nick Bosa (left hip, oblique) and linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) listed as questionable for an NFC West matchup they likely need to win to get back in the playoff hunt. The Niners ruled out left tackle Trent Williams (left ankle), safety Malik Mustapha (chest, shoulder) and guard Ben Bartch (high ankle sprain) on Wednesday.

Jamie Foxx reveals he suffered a brain bleed and a stroke, says ‘I don’t remember 20 days’

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has opened up about the medical emergency he faced last year, revealing that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke. “It is a mystery,” he said. “We still don’t know exactly what happened to me.” They ended up at Piedmont Hospital, where a doctor told them that Foxx was having a brain bleed that had led to a stroke and that he would die without an operation, he said. Almost a month later, he remembers waking up in a wheelchair and not being able to walk, and reacting in shock when his friend told him he’d had a stroke.

Redden pleaded guilty but mentally ill in September to attempted murder and other charges. His trial ended shortly after Holthus had testified that she was scared for her life when Redden jumped over her 4-foot-tall bench and landed directly on her.

Bears QB Caleb Williams has improved with Thomas Brown's playcalling

The Chicago Bears have lost seven straight games, most recently by a 38-13 demolition at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers in Thomas Brown's first game as interim head coach.

But these losses have not been the result of the Bears' rookie quarterback tossing a bunch of interceptions. In fact, the Bears are the only team to go on a seven-game losing streak without committing multiple turnovers in any of their losses since 1933, when turnovers were first tracked, according to ESPN Research.

US asks court to reject TikTok's bid to stave off law that could ban the app

 The Justice Department late on Wednesday asked a U.S. appeals court to reject an emergency bid by TikTok to temporarily block a law that would require its Chinese parent company ByteDance to divest the short-video app by Jan. 19 or face a ban.

TikTok and ByteDance on Monday filed the emergency motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia pending a review by the U.S. Supreme Court. They warned that without court action the law will "shut down TikTok — one of the nation’s most popular speech platforms — for its more than 170 million domestic monthly users."

Bill Belichick is now a college football coach. It's going to be harder than he thinks.

Bill Belichick is a college football coach. That is a sentence that is factually accurate, as Belichick has been hired as North Carolina’s new head man in a stunning move made official Wednesday.

Belichick, 72, who worked in the NFL in some capacity from 1975 through 2023 and won six Super Bowls as the head coach of the New England Patriots, has never coached in college football. He spent some time around the sport this fall with his son Stephen, who was the defensive coordinator at the University of Washington. Still, he’ll soon learn a lot more about the differences between college and pro football.

And though there’s a narrative surrounding Belichick’s shocking move that implies that it’s a step back from coaching in the NFL, it’s really not true. College football isn’t the junior varsity version of the sport. It’s harder.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Jefferson County Public Schools employee caught giving a THC vape pen to a student now faces felony charges.

Eric Burnette, 38, worked at Hudson Middle School as an in-school security monitor and is being investigated for giving one of those vapes to a 12-year-old student.

According to court documents, surveillance video caught Burnette exchanging the vape with the student and waiting outside the bathroom while she smoked.

Other staff members at the school reported smelling marijuana in the restroom, and brought the student to the office.

When being questioned, the student allegedly admitted that Burnette gave her the vape pen, which she took two "puffs" from in the bathroom before giving it back to him.

A search warrant uncovered that Burnette had four THC pens and two loaded handguns in his vehicle on the campus of the middle school.

Road rage shooting on I-65 ramp in Clark County leaves 1 hurt, police say

HENRYVILLE, Ind. —

A man was shot on an interstate ramp in southern Indiana, and officials say it was the result of road rage.

Indiana State Police said there was a sideswipe collision on I-65 around 2 p.m. Friday.

Both vehicles were "speeding up, slowing down, and just not pulling over," ISP Trooper Philip Hensley said.

Eventually, both vehicles, a Ford Bronco and a Chrysler Town & Country, stopped on the I-65 ramp in Henryville.

Hensley said both drivers got out of their vehicles armed with guns. A passenger was present, as well.

ISP said the driver of the Bronco, a woman, fired four shots and hit the other driver, a man. The firing driver had called 911 and dispatchers could hear the gunshots.

"The shooter actually said, 'Yes, I fired shots,'" Hensley said.

The victim went to the nearby Circle K and then was taken to UofL Hospital in unknown condition.

Hensley said the driver of the Bronco stayed on the phone with dispatch until officers arrived and was taken into custody. Her information has not yet been released.
