Ryan Garcia downward spiral has went into full gear. The disgruntled boxer is making way more headlines outside of the ring then he is making inside the ring. Recently the 25 year old made racist remarks on X spaces. He used the N-word and invoked the Ku Klux Klan. Also discussed George Floyd, who was murdered by Minneapolis police in 2020.

More trouble for the star boxer

Without a doubt those remarks didn’t sit well at all with The WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman. He released his statement about the troubled boxers remarks.

“Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Sulaiman wrote on X. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being as he has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

Ryan Garcia wrote on X before that suspension came out that he was “trolling,” in regards to the remarks that he made on Spaces.

“Also I was trolling I want all the killing to stop Humanity needs to stop killing people I love everyone sorry if I offended you,” he wrote in one post.

Ryan Garcia pulled off one of the best performances this year by defeated Devin Haney. Despite intentionally missing weight by three pounds which is considered cheating and to make matters worst he was busted for PED’s. The New York State Athletic Commission suspended him for 1 year. In June Garcia was arrested for felony vandalism in Beverly Hills, California at the Waldorf Astoria after he caused $15,000 in property damage, according to police reports.

Garcia seems to be crying out for help at this point. But it’s up for Garcia himself to actually seek the help that he needs. The more he stays away from social media, the better at this point.

Why Wommack feels Alabama football’s secondary can compete at ‘higher level’

Alabama football’s defensive coordinator, Kane Wommack has been impressed with the growth the Crimson Tide’s secondary has shown in comparison to last year. Alabama’s secondary was tested during the 2024 season. They battled injuries and some tough moments in games, where the Tide were defeated. These challenges prompted what Wommack describes as an ‘aggressive turnaround.’ “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, saying this here, but I do think to this point, we have shown a significant amount of maturity and development from our defensive back room,” Wommack said. “You think about where we were going into the Tennessee game a year ago, I think I mentioned this to you guys before. We played six players for five positions up until that game, right? And I’m talking the vast majority of the snaps when it mattered most, right? And then five of those guys went out. We are in a much better position now, with the depth, and I would say probably one of the more aggressive turnarounds that I’ve ever seen from one year to another year in terms of guys that you trust to be able to get on the field.” Wommack attributes this turnaround to the work Alabama football’s General Manager Courtney Morgan and the Tide’s defensive staff had done on the recruiting front. The Alabama defensive coordinator also feels Alabama’s coaching staff deserves their fair share of credit. “I think that’s a tip of the cap in terms of what Courtney Morgan and our defensive staff have done in recruiting, and then I think the development that you’ve seen from Maurice Linguist and Jason Jones to bring those young guys along has put us in a position to go compete at a much higher level this year than from a depth standpoint than we were a year ago,” Wommack told reporters on Wednesday. Alabama’s secondary returns multiple starters from last season and has added some talented young players.

Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani reaches yet another incredible milestone

Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani entered Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals on the precipice of another milestone. Ohtani had recorded 999 hits in his career, an impressive number considering he continued to hit while rehabbing after a pair of elbow surgeries and the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. He notched his 1,000th career hit in the third inning, belting a two-run homer off Cardinals pitcher Matthew Liberatore. While that home run temporarily gave his team a 2-1 lead, the Dodgers' bullpen failed to hold on in the 5-3 loss. Ohtani has put together an impressive season as he slowly works himself back as a starting pitcher. He has posted a .276/.381/.606 batting line in 521 plate appearances, hitting 39 homers and 15 doubles while stealing 16 bases. Ohtani also has a 2.37 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP over 19 innings, striking out 25 batters with just five walks. His 1,000th hit is another milestone in a career that is on track to end in Cooperstown. The 2018 American League Rookie of the Year, Ohtani is a five-time All-Star and three-time MVP, joining Hall of Fame outfielder Frank Robinson as the only players to win the MVP award in both leagues. He is one home run shy of his fourth season with 40 or more homers and is the only player in major league history to hit 50+ homers and steal 50+ bases in the same season. Ohtani's exploits on the mound have been equally impressive. He has reached the double-digit mark in wins twice and has struck out more than 150 batters in a season three times. Ohtani finished fourth in the 2022 AL Cy Young race after posting a 15-9 record with a 2.33 ERA and a 1.012 WHIP over 166 innings, striking out 219 batters with 44 walks. It is sure to be one of the many milestones Ohtani reaches as his career continues.

Patriots stars react to HC Mike Vrabel getting bloodied while breaking up camp fight

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel likely won the respect of his team Wednesday. However, he may have needed a few stitches afterward. The Patriots hosted a joint practice with the Washington Commanders at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. New England rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson took a Commanders pass-rusher to the ground in pass protection, resulting in a scuffle. Vrabel then jumped in to help stop the fight. His face was bloodied after both teams calmed down. Patriots second-year quarterback Drake Maye loved that his coach was willing to step in. In a news conference after practice, the 22-year-old passer said that's the mentality the team needs. "That's what we're trying to build," he said. "The intensity, bringing it every day, taking no cr-p when we're out on the field. But also, it comes a time where, with our guys offensively, and getting over there and getting some tussles and kind of having some penalties, and extra after the whistle, can get us in trouble. But for mentality, I like it. I mean, I almost got in there, but I think maybe another day, maybe." His new coach doesn't want the QB to get in any brawls. The Patriots are banking on the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft being the franchise's future. Plus, he doesn't need to worry about the Patriots' intensity with Vrabel in the building. New England wide receiver DeMario Douglas noted the former linebacker didn't seem rattled after breaking up the scrap. "I said, 'Coach, what's wrong with you?' And he said, 'You should have seen the other guy,'" Douglas told the media while smiling. "I just saw the scar on his face but didn't know what was happening." Vrabel likely sent two messages at Wednesday's practice. He won't tolerate an undisciplined team but also has his players' backs. That could go a long way for a Patriots squad aiming to improve after a 4-13 season.

Jalen Milroe Surges Past Former NFL Starter on First Seattle Seahawks Depth Chart

Despite being viewed as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe ended up sliding into the third round. The 22-year-old who was the starter for Alabama for two seasons was selected with the No. 92 pick by the Seattle Seahawks. Although every player's dream is to go in the first round, Milroe likely couldn't have gone to a better situation. There is virtually no pressure on him as the Seahawks signed former Minnesota Vikings quarterback, Sam Darnold, to a three-year, $100.5 million contract this offseason, and also have Drew Lock, who has started 28 career games on the roster as well. However, based on ESPN's initial depth chart, Milroe may be climbing the depth chart sooner than most expected. Seattle Seahawks Depth Chart As reported by ESPN, the Seahawks depth chart goes as follows: QB1: Sam Darnold QB2 Jalen Milroe QB3 Drew Lock If this truly ends up being the case, Milroe has taken major strides following his final season at Alabama. During his final year in Tuscaloosa, Milroe was criticized heavily for forcing passes into windows that weren't there after being late on reads. In his final season at Alabama, Milroe threw a career-high 11 interceptions to just 16 touchdowns, an increase of five more interceptions than he threw in 2023. Although training camp is still ongoing and the preseason games have yet to be played, clearly, Milroe is finding some success in the pacific northwest.
