Das nächste Kapitel in seiner Strafakte?
Wide Receiver Rashee Rice (25) ist wieder einmal Mittelpunkt eines möglichen Skandals. Seine Ex-Freundin Dacoda Nichole Jones, mit der der Teamkollege von Quarterback-Superstar Patrick Mahomes zwei gemeinsame Kinder hat, hat schwere Missbrauchsvorwürfe gegen den NFL-Star der Kansas City Chiefs erhoben.
So postete Jones am Mittwoch auf ihrem Instagram-Account Fotos von Prellungen und Wunden an vielen Stellen ihres Körpers. Dazu erhob sie Vorwürfe über jahrelangen Missbrauch. Den Namen von Rice nannte sie nicht. Allerdings schrieb sie, dass die Person, die sie misshandelt habe, Vater ihrer Kinder sei.
Und: „Ich bin es leid, zu schweigen und seinen Ruf zu beschützen. Ich musste in den acht Jahren so viel durchmachen, und ich habe genug!“ Seit der Trennung von Rice vor ein paar Monaten „ist es nichts anderes als die Hölle.“
Mittlerweile hat sie den Post wieder gelöscht. Bis Mittwochabend hatte Jones auch noch keine Anklage wegen häuslicher Gewalt erstattet.
Rice wurde bereits letztes Jahr verurteilt und gesperrt
Auch die Chiefs haben die Situation zur Kenntnis genommen und mit einem Statement reagiert. „Der Klub ist sich der Anschuldigungen in den sozialen Medien bewusst und steht in Kontakt mit der National Football League.“ Und: „Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt geben wir keinen weiteren Kommentar ab.“
Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass Rice negativ auffällt. Bereits im vergangenen Juli wurde der Passempfänger in Dallas zu 30 Tagen Gefängnis und fünf Jahren auf Bewährung verurteilt. Er hatte sich zuvor ein Straßenrennen geleistet, dabei eine Massen-Karambolage verursacht, bei der es Verletzte gab. In einem Video des Unfalls, an dem sechs Fahrzeuge beteiligt waren, war zu sehen, wie Rice mit Freunden zu Fuß flüchtete, statt sich um Verletzte zu kümmern.
[–>Vor Gericht bekannte er sich dann in zwei Anklagepunkten (Kollision mit schwerer Körperverletzung und Straßenrennen mit Körperverletzung) schuldig. Er erhielt eine bedingte Strafaussetzung. Auch die NFL reagierte damals und sperrte Rice für die ersten sechs Spiele der laufenden Saison. Nun droht der nächste Eklat.
Auch sportlich lief es für Rice und Co. dieses Jahr nicht. Zum ersten Mal in der Mahomes-Ära verpassten die Chiefs die Playoffs. Diese beginnen am kommenden Wochenende mit der Wildcard Round.

Sources: Clippers, Cavaliers engaged in James Harden trade talks

Mariners finally make their big offseason move, bolster infield by acquiring Brendan Donovan from Cardinals
With a little help from a familiar facilitator, the Seattle Mariners finally executed the deal they’d been pursuing all winter on Monday, acquiring Brendan Donovan from the St. Louis Cardinals. The deal is a three-way swap including the Tampa Bay Rays, Seattle’s most frequent trade partner during president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto’s decade-long tenure leading the front office. After months of reports indicating Seattle’s interest in Donovan — and uncertainty about whether the Cardinals would actually part with him as part of their dramatic offseason of offloading — it’s fitting that the Rays’ surprise involvement helped push this deal across the finish line.Here’s the breakdown:AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMariners receive: INF/OF Brendan Donovan (from Cardinals)Cardinals receive: RHP Jurrangelo Cijntje (from Mariners), OF Tai Peete (from Mariners), OF Colton Ledbetter (from Rays), Competitive Balance Round B Pick (currently No. 68, from Mariners), Competitive Balance […]
Stefon Diggs reflects on coming up short with Bills ahead of his first career Super Bowl with Patriots: ‘Wish things were different’
The Buffalo Bills traded to acquire ascending wide receiver Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2020 season, hoping that he was the missing piece to unlock quarterback Josh Allen's potential and propel the franchise to its first Super Bowl championship.Diggs delivered on a lot of that promise. But the Bills ultimately came up short.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn his first season in Buffalo, Diggs went from a no-time Pro Bowler to a first-team All-Pro selection while leading the league in receptions and receiving yards. It was the first of four straight Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro teams in three years for Diggs.And he indeed, helped Allen unlock his NFL potential. Allen went from completing a dismal 58.8% of his passes in his second NFL season to 69.2% in his first season playing with Diggs, a remarkable jump in accuracy that […]
Super Bowl 2026: Drake Maye says his shoulder is doing well: ‘I’ll be just fine’
SAN JOSE, Calif. — If it were late September or mid-November, or practically any other week, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s shoulder might not be such a big deal.But this is Super Bowl week, and any small bit of news becomes a big deal. Especially when it’s an injury issue surrounding an NFL MVP finalist at quarterback.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMaye hurt his shoulder in the third quarter of the AFC championship game, when he scrambled and was tackled by Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga.

Charles Lee apologizes for ‘foolish’ collision with star LaMelo Ball in win over Pelicans: ‘I took a play off’
Charlotte Hornets coach Charles Lee knows this is completely on him.Lee collided with Hornets star LaMelo Ball during their 102-95 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, resulting in what was a scary moment near the scorer’s table. Lee and Ball slammed directly into each other head-first while trying to grab a ball that was going out of bounds, which sent Ball to the court grabbing his head. Lee looked pretty banged up, too.Ball went to the locker room briefly after that but ended up returning to the game.“I took a play off, and you’re not supposed to take any plays off, and I thought the ball was going out of bounds,” Lee said. “I was gonna save it from going into the stands, and he was going to save the ball. We went head-to-head.“Credit to him, he didn’t […]
As another NFL coaching cycle lacks minority hires, Roger Goodell defends recent absence of diversity program
SAN JOSE, Calif. — On the heels of another hiring cycle that lacked racial diversity, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league must continue to evaluate its systems — while not believing its recent decisions contributed to the trend.The NFL scheduled an accelerator program for minority coaches last May, with Goodell saying a year ago that the league remained committed to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives even as the Trump administration discouraged them.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThree months later, the scheduled program was deemed “postponed.” It has yet to happen.The hiring cycle that followed featured the hiring of nine white head coaches (the Las Vegas Raiders cannot officially hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak until after the Super Bowl, but are expected to, per multiple media reports) and no Black head coaches. Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh, who previously was at the New […]
