Shedeur Sanders has been in the news lately, and not for sports reasons. After he stole the headlines for his speeding ticket, it wouldn’t have been the first one this month.
The first ticket he received in Ohio was on June 5 according to a filing in Medina Municipal Court. Sanders was traveling 91 mph in Brunswick Hills, a 65 mph zone. He was then stopped by Strongsville police on June 17 for driving 41 miles per hour over the posted limit (60 miles per hour). As if that wasn’t enough, he also failed to appear in court on either ticket.
Shedeur Sanders forgets about trouble with the law and concentrates in another sport
This, in addition to stirring up controversy among Cleveland Browns and fans, also uncovered a confession from a Denver Broncos and NBA legend who experienced a similar situation as the former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback.
Two tickets in one night
Shannon Sharpe wasn’t a rookie like Shedeur when he was pulled over for speeding, he was in his third year in the league. On one such night, police caught the Hall of Famer driving 108 mph in a 60 mph zone.
Ten minutes later, however, he was caught again driving 92 mph, earning Sharpe two tickets in one night.
Looking back on it, Shannon revealed, “So, speeding, I get it. It’s something about speeding and young people. You got a lead foot. I got a lead foot.”
“I’m the only one who gets pulled over”
Another story that was revealed was that of NBA star Joe Johnson. During his time in Atlanta, he and some of his teammates were traveling over 100 mph on the freeway.
When the police got their attention, only Joe was pulled over. However, he recognized him and was sympathetic to him.
“Them Challengers had just come out. I had one, Jeff Teague had one, and Josh Smith had one. So we get back to Atlanta one night off the road, about 2 a.m. in the morning. We’re on 285, tan and rolled up,” Joe began.
Then, he continued, “Man, I’m the only one who gets pulled over. We always over 100. I had a black police officer pull me over, and he knew who I was. He gave me some grace. I was very respectful,” he finished.
However, both agreed that carrying the Sanders name was not a burden they had, let alone competing among four candidates for the starting job as is the case with Shedeur.
With Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel vying to be the Browns’ QB1, this situation could hurt him, as it is not the first time he has been fined or had his name highlighted in controversy.

Behind the Wisconsin v. Miami tampering lawsuit over transfer DB Xavier Lucas that was months in the making
The legal enforceability of a revenue share agreement between a football player and institution is at the crux of a landmark legal case between two Power Four schools that could have wide-ranging implications. The University of Wisconsin sued the University of Miami on Friday over alleged tampering and tortious interference of a two-year agreement with defensive back Xavier Lucas, a member of the Badgers' 2024 team. Lucas is not mentioned by name in the lawsuit -- only referred to as Student-Athlete A -- but all of the details line up after he left Wisconsin in January to join Miami's football program as the No. 1 cornerback in the transfer portal. Wisconsin alleges that Miami intentionally interfered and tampered with Lucas' deal with the Badgers not long after he received a substantial payment following the deal's execution. "Miami's interference caused Student-Athlete A […]

Palmeiras pode faturar até R$ 27,5 milhões com fase de grupos da Copa do Mundo de Clubes

If the internet/social media had existed during this game, it would have broken into a million pieces. This game had a little bit of everything.By 1968, the Lakers had lost six times, once in Minneapolis and five times in Los Angeles, to the Celtics in the finals, and twice in seven games (1962 and 1966). The Lakers had enough.In July 1968, Los Angeles acquired the game’s greatest force — Wilt Chamberlain, who led the league in rebounds and assists the previous season — and combined him with Baylor and West: the NBA’s first superteam.After dispatching the Hawks and Warriors, the Lakers were in the finals again against an aging Celtics dynasty that had finished fourth in the Eastern Division.By this time, Russell was in his second season as player-coach, and in 1968, his first season at the helm, Russell’s Celtics […]
England’s Harry Brook and his uneasy relationship with India
Perhaps it should not have come as too much of a surprise to see Mohammed Siraj aiming a verbal barrage at Harry Brook during his helter-skelter performance on his home ground.The dark art of sledging — usually bowlers letting batters know exactly what they think of them— is less common than it once was in these days of cricketers from opposing countries becoming more and more familiar with each other in franchise competitions.AdvertisementBut England’s white-ball captain is something of a rarity in having an uneasy relationship with the most powerful country in cricket, which was evident in Siraj’s outburst and India’s joyous celebrations when they dismissed him one run short of a century in the first Test.This was an eventful first Test innings against India for England’s gifted 26-year-old. There were spectacular shots in front of an appreciative Headingley audience […]
