Former Ohio State offensive lineman Kirk Barton has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide following a fatal crash early Saturday in Dublin, Ohio, according to NBC4.
According to the City of Dublin, Barton, 40, is suspected of driving a Ford F-150 Raptor pickup truck “at a high rate of speed” before entering Historic Dublin, where he crashed into a Lexus on West Bridge Street around 3 a.m.

The driver of the Lexus, 24-year-old Ethan Perry, died on the scene, according to the city.
Barton sustained non-life-threatening injuries. He was eventually released from Riverside Methodist Hospital into Dublin Police custody, the city said.
Barton was then moved to Franklin County Jail.
NBC4 reported Saturday that Barton was charged with a second-degree felony count of aggravated vehicular homicide while operating a vehicle under the influence, according to Franklin County court records, which also show Barton has been charged with multiple traffic-related offenses in the past.
Barton is scheduled for an arraignment Monday at 9 a.m., per NBC4.

Once a 2008 seventh-round NFL Draft pick of the Chicago Bears, Barton bounced around the league during his three-year pro career. In addition to the Bears, he also spent time with the Miami Dolphins, San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers.
Barton played at Ohio State from 2003-07. He earned first-team All-American honors at right tackle in 2007. That season, the Buckeyes went 11-2 and finished No. 5 in the AP Poll. Ohio State was ranked the No. 1 team in the country before losing the BCS championship to LSU, 38-24.

NBA Cup: Is Victor Wembanyama the only hope to curb a Thunder dynasty?
LAS VEGAS — By the time a sweat-drenched Victor Wembanyama took his seat on the Spurs bench, having played the first three and a half minutes of action in a month, a meeting with the champions that previously seemed out of reach suddenly wasn’t.If the first quarter of Saturday night’s semifinal was a reminder of the reign of terror the 24-1 Oklahoma City Thunder have enjoyed for months, the second was a reminder of the French force that refuses to bend the knee.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHis introduction to the game — coming off the bench for the first time in his career — changed everything.

Sparta se chce přiblížit Slavii, Bohemians chystají oslavy výročí
Dvanáctí Bohemians prohráli poslední tři ligové zápasy a propadají se tabulkou, navíc jsou doma po Baníku druhým nejhorším celkem soutěže. Ale slaví 120 let od založení klubu a v utkání se šestou Karvinou budou chtít fanoušky potěšit nejen výročními dresy a doprovodným programem, ale i třemi body. Jenže to nebudou mít lehké. Karviná za posledních sedm kole prohrála jen jednou, byť šlo o kolaps (0:6) v deseti proti Liberci. A bodově je na tom stejně, jako třeba o dost ambicióznější mančaft z Plzně.Právě pátá Plzeň hostí čtrnáctou Duklu. Viktoria z posledních sedmi soutěžních duelů vyhrála jen jediný s Mladou Boleslaví, je ale třeba zmínit, že tři bezbrankové remízy v Evropské lize (Fenerbahce, Freiburg, Panathinaikos) rozhodně nelze označit za průšvih, Plzeň naopak přiblížily postupu do jarní fáze. Viktoriáni právě v Aténách ubránili remízový výsledek i přes brzké vyloučení Václava Jemelky. Dukla z posledních pěti duelů posbírala tři body za stejný počet remíz a pokud prohraje o více než tři […]
College basketball winners and losers: Melvin Council rescues Kansas, Kentucky turns it on late vs. Indiana
During the final minutes of regulation of Kansas' game vs. NC State on Saturday, Jayhawks star Darryn Peterson -- the projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft -- checked out of the game twice. Peterson, who returned last weekend against Missouri after missing his team's previous seven games due to a hamstring injury, appeared to reaggravate the injury. "I think he was getting tight," Kansas coach Bill Self said postgame. "I haven't talked to the doctor yet or the trainer, but he said he needed to come out." Even without Peterson down the stretch, Kansas walked away with a dramatic 77-76 overtime upset win over NC State on Saturday, in one of the best games of the 2025-26 season thus far. The hero for Kansas was Melvin Council Jr., who scored a career-high 36 points and knocked down nine 3-pointers. […]
