Bre Tiesi shares why she broke up with Johnny Manziel

Bre Tiesi Johnny Manziel

News came out recently that Johnny Manziel’s divorce from Bre Tiesi is finally being settled. This comes two years after Tiesi filed for divorce in March 2019.

The two began dating in 2016, got engaged in 2017, married in 2018, and split in 2019. One major event per year.

As the story of their divorce settlement was in the news, Tiesi responded to a comment she received on Instagram about her breaking up with Manziel.

She shared her reasons for doing so in an Instagram story.

Her were her reasons:

– “I chose not to suffer anymore.”

– “Chose to stop accepting his BS apologies.”

– “Chose to let him go be in those girls dm’s and liked pics.”

– “Got tired of his zero patience for me and disrespect.”

Tiesi saying she let Manziel go be in those girls “dm’s” suggests that Johnny Football was flirting with other women. In 2019, Tiesi indicated that Manziel did not stay true to his wedding vows.

The details about her divorce settlement are being determined in court.

Video: Willson Contreras disrespects Brewers after big home run

Willson Contreras shush

Willson Contreras continues to keep things heated between himself and the Milwaukee Brewers.

Last week, Contreras got upset with the Brewers after he was hit by a pitch in an April 6 game. Contreras was oddly upset about being hit despite literally leaning in to try and get hit.

Fast forward to Tuesday, and Contreras was hit on the finger in the fourth inning. The next inning, the Cubs retaliated by throwing behind Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff.

So guess what happened when Contreras hit a 2-run home run to put his Cubs up 3-2 on Milwaukee in the eighth? Yep, he stared down the Brewers and gave a serious bat toss.

Contreras also shushed the fans:

Contreras is known for giving huge bat flips, so this isn’t new. His actions after big hits have even upset his teammates in the past.

This time, Contreras’ Cubs got the win 3-2 thanks to his big hit, but the tension between him and Milwaukee will continue.

Video: Aaron Rodgers has funny reaction to ‘Jeopardy!’ contestants missing Packers clue

Aaron Rodgers Jeopardy

Aaron Rodgers had a funny reaction to the contestants on “Jeopardy!” missing a clue about his team, the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers recorded 10 episodes as the host of the popular quiz show. His episodes are airing over the course of two weeks, with the seventh one airing on Tuesday. In the episode, there was a clue about a Midwestern team winning NFL championships. Not only did Rodgers have a funny reaction to the contestants missing the question, but his reaction after they got the next clue correct was good too.

Rodgers was a little stiff at first when he tried out as the show’s host, but he improved as he got more comfortable in the role. His reaction to the miss on the Packers clue shows how much better he became by his seventh game.

Even though he won NFL MVP last season, Rodgers has a plan to host “Jeopardy!” even while he continuing his playing career.

Nick Saban shared a great story about his trying to date his wife Terry

Nick Saban

Nick Saban often gives his wife Terry tons of credit and recognition for her role in his success as a coach. If you ask her, she deserves it. At least that’s what Nick says.

Saban was recognized as an AFCA regional Coach of the Year in 2018 and spoke at one of their events. In his speech, Saban shared a great story about his wife and how she believes she’s a big driver in his success. The clip went viral after a coach shared it on Twitter Tuesday. Watch the entire thing — Saban tells the story so well.

That’s a fantastic story.

Sadly, the Mick Shaffer Saban references in the story appears to have died in December at the age of 70. He ended up getting married and had a few children at least. So even if he didn’t end up with Miss Terry, at least he did have a family. As for Miss Terry, you can’t really argue with her choice of marrying Nick!

Deshaun Watson gets one accuser to drop lawsuit

Deshaun Watson

One of the women who was accusing Deshaun Watson of sexual assault has dropped her lawsuit.

Watson’s attorney Rustin Hardin provided an update on the case to NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero. He says they have the names of 20 of the 22 women. One woman has dropped her suit, and they are seeking the name of one other accuser.

Watson’s legal team got a legal victory when it was ruled that the women had to be identified. That apparently has led him to begin discussions with the accusers.

Legal cases can often be settled outside of court, typically through an amount of money and other terms agreed upon between the parties. It’s unclear what led the one woman to drop her suit.

The Houston Texans have begun to distance themselves from Watson, who has been their quarterback since 2017. Watson demanded a trade from the team prior to becoming the subject of numerous lawsuits. He could be facing a suspension from the NFL regardless of the outcome of the cases.

Video: Timberwolves rookie has no clue who Alex Rodriguez is

Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez is one of the best-known baseball players of the last 25 years, but one Minnesota Timberwolves player has never heard of him.

Anthony Edwards, who was the No. 1 pick by the Timberwolves in last year’s draft, was asked about A-Rod buying the team. He was asked whether he was a fan of Rodriguez and seemed clueless about why he would be asked that question.

“I don’t know who that is,” Edwards said. “I know he’s going to be our owner, but I don’t know nothing about baseball.”

It’s hard to believe that Edwards, who plays a professional sport, would be so clueless about Rodriguez. What’s arguably even worse is the amount of disrespect and apathy shown by Edwards.

The news about Rodriguez buying the team was reported on Saturday. Edwards couldn’t even be bothered to look into who the team’s new owners would be? That’s pathetic. Then again, this is the same guy who said he wasn’t really into basketball, and the same guy who brought Popeye’s to a press conference. He just operates on a different planet, apparently. Or maybe he will claim he was just trolling us all.

Jim Harbaugh got paid good money for a Downy commercial

Jim Harbaugh

Jim Harbaugh already makes millions as the head coach at Michigan, though he did agree to a pay cut recently. Beyond just the money he made from the school, he also made some money on an endorsement deal. Good money.

Sportico published a story about how much numerous college coaches were making in additional compensation. In the article, they brought up that Harbaugh was paid $250,000 to appear in a Downy Wrinkle Guard commercial.

Harbaugh was wearing his usual khaki pants in the commercial and asked “Do you think you can keep these khakis wrinkle-free all season?”

For that, he pocketed a quarter-million dollars. Good work if you can get it.

The full story shares other examples of gigs coaches secured and how much income they reported for the deals. The $250,000 for the Harbaugh commercial was on the high end. Maybe it’s just pay back for all that Harbaugh’s khaki pant-wearing has done for the industry.

Mike Trout had cool gesture for Angels fan in Kansas City

Mike Trout

Mike Trout was able to come through on Monday for one of his biggest fans.

In 2019, Trout was shut down by the Angels in September due to a foot injury. Fan Jason Pedigo, who is from Wichita, Kansas, says he took his son to a September game in Anaheim, but Trout didn’t play and was shut down for the year the next day.

That was a real bummer for Pedigo and his son. But Trout made it up to them on Monday.

Pedigo informed Trout over Twitter that he and his son would be in the first row in center field at Kauffman Stadium for the Angels’ game against the Royals.

Trout threw them a ball during the game. After the game, Trout was seen giving Pedigo’s son his batting gloves — ones the slugger used while homering during the game.

That’s so cool. Hopefully it makes it up to the Pedigos for not playing in the 2019 game they attended.

Ex-NFL scout says 49ers taking this player would be ‘arrogant’

John Lynch

The San Francisco 49ers have moved up to the No. 3 spot in the NFL Draft. Their big trade with Miami indicates they feel strongly about a player — one who they believe is a franchise quarterback.

The 49ers have not tipped their pick, but there are numerous reports indicating they will take former Alabama quarterback Mac Jones. One former scout thinks that would be an “arrogant” pick.

“I think it would be one of the most arrogant picks in NFL history,” John Middlekauff said in an interview with “The Colin Cowherd Podcast.”

“Every single year, there are Mac Joneses in the second and third round.”

Middlekauff obviously does not think too highly of Jones, at least not as a No. 3 overall pick.

Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that the 49ers pick Jones. We are pretty certain San Francisco will take a quarterback. But the 49ers will likely have their choice of Jones, Trey Lance and Justin Fields. All the discussion about a pick being “arrogant” may be moot. But we know of at least one draft analyst who would be a big fan of the Jones pick.

Joe Johnson could return to NBA with this top team?

Joe Johnson

Joe Johnson starred for many years with the Brooklyn Nets. Now he could end up with one of the Nets’ biggest conference rivals.

Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reported on Tuesday that the seven-time All-Star has a workout scheduled later this week with the Milwaukee Bucks. The team currently has one open roster spot to fill.

The 39-year-old Johnson has not played in the NBA since 2018. He recently starred in Ice Cube’s BIG3 league and became the first player to get an NBA contract after playing in the BIG3. Johnson received the contract from the Detroit Pistons in 2019 but was waived before the season began.

Milwaukee would be an intriguing destination for Johnson. He used to be teammates with Bucks center Brook Lopez in Brooklyn, with Bucks forward PJ Tucker in Houston, and with Bucks guard Jeff Teague in Atlanta.

The Bucks have also previously had interest in Iso Joe, who could offer them scoring punch off the bench at best and quality playoff experience at worst.
