Longtime college football coach Jim Leavitt was arrested in Pinellas County, Florida, Monday on felony and misdemeanor charges.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s website, Leavitt is facing a felony grand theft charge and misdemeanor charges of simple battery and domestic battery after the incident. Per Andy Slater, Leavitt allegedly grabbed his ex-girlfriend by the arm and took her Louis Vuitton purse, among other items.

Leavitt, 68, was the head coach at South Florida from 1997 through 2009 and was the school’s first football coach. The Bulls were 95-57 in his time with the school, but his tenure ended days into 2010 after the school found that he had struck a player in the locker room during halftime of a game against Louisville. Leavitt denied he struck the player, but USF said that witnesses corroborated the story and the school also found that Leavitt had interfered with the investigation by contacting witnesses to the incident.
His firing came two seasons into a seven-year deal he had signed with the school thanks to its success on the field. USF was 75-44 in 10 years at the top level of college football and had won at least eight games in each of Leavitt’s final four seasons.
In June, the school announced that Leavitt would be inducted into its sports hall of fame despite the way he departed the program.

Before he was hired at South Florida, Leavitt was an assistant coach at Kansas State from 1990 through 1995. He was the Wildcats’ defensive coordinator for his final four seasons with the school as Kansas State’s program became one of the best in the Big 8 under coach Bill Snyder.
Leavitt was an assistant coach for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-14 before returning to college football as Colorado’s defensive coordinator in 2015. After two seasons with the Buffaloes, he spent two seasons at Oregon and was most recently SMU’s defensive coordinator in 2021.

Canelo Alvarez is singled out as the cause of eliminating emotions in the super middleweight division
Canelo Alvarez has been the king of the super middleweights since 2018, when he won his first title in the 168-pound division. During this time he has faced opponents with different qualities and has beaten them clearly, although since 2019 he has not achieved a knockout victory or since 2021 by TKO. For several boxing analysts, this is because Canelo has had opponents who are not up to the level of a world champion. His last six fights have been won by "unanimous decision".On September 13, the Mexican will defend his belts against the four-time world champion, Terence Crawford, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a fight that could clear his name from criticism from experts and fans alike. However, the American belongs to the welterweight division (147 pounds) which means having to move up three divisions to face Canelo Alvarez, […]

Ryan podcast, where the host pressed her about recent rumors linking her to the world of football. "Is she dating right now?"

The Dallas Cowboys spent months insisting they would not budge on Micah Parsons' contract demands. Now, their former defensive cornerstone is suiting up in green and gold, armed with a record-breaking contract and a few pointed words that leave little doubt about where the breakdown began.Parsons, traded to the Green Bay Packers in one of the most stunning moves of the offseason, signed a four-year, $188 million deal that instantly made him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $120 million guaranteed at signing and a $44 million signing bonus, numbers that underline just how far Dallas was from meeting his value. For the 26-year-old, the new chapter is not just about money, it's about respect."I would never leave the best agent in the world! It's just that simple!" Parsons wrote on X, thanking agent David Mulugheta for […]

Těžká chvíle pro Muchovou. Zaskočil ji bývalý přítel, rozhozená tenistka ho prosila, aby opustil hlediště
Kdo ví, jak by zápas dopadl, pokud by Muchová neustála nepříjemný moment ze šestého gamu úvodní sady za stavu 1:4. Devětadvacetiletá hráčka za stavu 30:30 začala gestikulovat do hlediště, po vyhrané výměně se jí oči zalily slzami, takže chvíli nemohla pokračovat. „Jste v pořádku?“ ptala se sudí na umpireu a Muchová naznačila, že ano. Po gamu si ještě utřela obličej ručníkem. Komentátoři zápasu spekulovali, zda obhájkyně semifinále nemá nějaké zdravotní potíže, ale problém byl psychického rázu.„Netýká se to tenisu, takže se o tom nerada bavím. Ale naproti mé lavičce si sednul můj expřítel, který se občas objevuje na místech, kde by neměl být a kde jsem já. Takže mě to trošku vystrašilo, ale řekla jsem mu, jestli může jít pryč. Nešel, ale potom odešel. Bylo pro mě těžké se soustředit v ten moment na tenis,“ sdělila Muchová v New Yorku zpravodaji serveru Tenisový svět.První sadu nakonec dotáhla do […]
