Former NFL coach Jon Gruden lost a Nevada Supreme Court ruling in a contract interference and conspiracy lawsuit he filed against the league after he resigned from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021. But his lawyer said Tuesday he will appeal to the full seven-member court. A three-justice panel split 2-1, saying the league can force the civil case out of state court and into private arbitration that might be overseen by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. League and team representatives did not immediately respond to messages about the ruling. Gruden’s lawsuit accuses the league of forcing him into resigning from the Raiders by leaking racist, sexist and homophobic emails that he sent years earlier, when he was an ESPN analyst.

Anchoring the space outside the Tops supermarket targeted in the attack is a sculpture entitled “Unity.” It features purple metal pillars representing each person killed and three gold pillars for those who were wounded.

The Honor space also includes a pear tree seedling gifted to Buffalo through the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s Survivor Tree Seedling Program.

Jacksonville would chip in another $150 million to get EverBank Stadium ready for construction in 2026. Jacksonville won’t levy any new taxes to pay for the build. City councilmembers are expected to vote on the proposal in late June. It would then advance to NFL owners in October. Construction would begin following the 2025 season.
Former Michigan star quarterback Denard Robinson is no longer part of Sherrone Moore’s coaching staff, school spokesman Dave Ablauf confirmed. Robinson was suspected of driving while intoxicated last month after he was in a single-car accident, less than two miles from the football team’s training facility.

Moore initially suspended the 33-year-old Robinson before parting ways, two months after defensive line coach Greg Scruggs was suspended and later resigned following his arrest for suspected drunken driving. Former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh hired Robinson in 2022 as assistant director of player personnel and Moore retained him.

The study was released by the World Weather Attribution group of scientists, who use established climate models to quickly determine whether human-caused climate change played a part in extreme weather events around the world.
