Nebraska offensive lineman Teddy Prochazka named to Wuerffel Trophy Watch List
Prochazka has been a mainstay for the program ever since his arrival. Injuries have hampered his career in Lincoln, however, and 2024 was an unfortunate reminder. He sustained an injury during fall camp and missed the entirety of the season.
His best year in terms of production came in 2023. He returned from injury and was able to start the final 10 games of the season. Now, he is looking to contribute to an offensive line that has seen an increase in depth over the last year.
This nomination is certainly a reminder of what Prochazka can do off the field as well. He has been named to the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll eight times, and was named to the Academic All-Big Ten team in 2023 and 2024. In addition to being a contributor on the field, he is a role model off it.

Analyst says Notre Dame fans should be \
Fighting Irish fans might like Kenny Minchey's mobility The debate about the starting quarterback for the 2025 Notre Dame Fighting Irish rages on. CJ Carr or Kenny Minchey? Well, analyst/pundit J.D. Pickell is making the case for the latter. Pickell says Irish fans should be "stoked" if Minchey wins the job. His reasoning? If Minchey wins, that means Minchey is a good enough passer to take advantage of a potentially very good receiving corps while also bringing mobility to the table in the way that last year's starter Riley Leonard did. Pickell points out that Leonard's mobility did a lot of damage to opposing defenses last year -- and if this year's receiving corps is that much better, then it stands to reason that the Irish will have more ways to attack a defense and keep an opponent off balance. We'll see soon enough who wins -- and, if Minchey is the guy, we'll soon see if Pickell is right.

Minnesota Vikings WR Submits to 'Wet Reckless' Plea Deal
The Minnesota Vikings are preparing for the start of training camp next week. Outside of some former players making their way into the news cycle for a variety of reasons, it's been a rather quiet summer break, since the team broke from minicamp last month. Of course, that wasn't the case last season. The series of unfortunate off-field events last summer began when Khyree Jackson, who had been standing out during offseason workouts after being picked in the 4th round of the 2023 NFL Draft just months earlier, tragically died in a car accident that occured on 4th of July weekend. Jordan Addison's original plea: 'Not Guilty' Days later, 2023 1st round pick Jordan Addison was arrested on suspicion of DUI near LAX Airport in Los Angeles. Police reportedly found him asleep at the wheel of his white Rolls-Royce that was blocking the the number one lane of the freeway. Related Headlines A-Rod, Lore Trying to Bring KG Home… Among Other Former Timberwolves To Whom It May Concern: Good Luck Prying Joe Ryan Out of Minnesota Potential Minnesota Twins Buyers Spooked by Massive Debt Addison's arrest launched a full year of court proceedings that, early on, we originally thought were being strategically pushed back and delayed by Jordan, his council and the Minnesota Vikings, in order to make sure the No. 2 wide receiver would finish out the 2024 season without the NFL levying a suspension on him. When everything started to move forward, however, Jordan Addison submitted a plea of 'Not Guilty', proving he and his team of attorneys were determined to fight the charges. He maintained his innocence throughout the pretrial process too, until the actual trial was set to start on Tuesday. Jordan Addison pleads guilty to lesser 'wet reckless' charge Instead of moving ahead, onto jury selection etc, Addison's courtroom appointment for Tuesday was taken off the schedule. In its place, another pretrial hearing was set for Thursday. Earlier this week, former practicing attorney, Mike Florio ( wondered if something might be up. [Thursday's new 'pretrial hearing'] label is too broad to permit a reliable inference as to what it means. Some think there will be a plea deal that is formalized at the hearing. That's possible, but 'pretrial hearing' doesn't convey that clearly. The lingering employment problem for Addison continues to be this — any outcome that suggests responsibility will trigger a baseline suspension of three games without pay. Mike Florio – Related: And sure enough, Florio was proven right today when Jordan Addison's attorney took to Twitter and announced that his client was pleading guilty, but not to the original 'Driving Under the Influence' charges. Instead, the 23-year-old former No. 23 overall pick is pleading guilty to a lesser 'Reckless Driving' charge that assumes alcohol was involved. In California, the plead down charge is better known under its informal moniker, a 'wet reckless', which is what Younger & Associates used to make the new plea public on X. A 'wet reckless' is a negotiated plea. Specifically, 'wet reckless' is the term given to a plea whereby the prosecutor originally charges a DUI (under Vehicle Code Section 23152), but later drops those charges in exchange for the defendant pleading guilty (or 'no contest') to a charge of reckless driving (under Vehicle Code Section 23103). The 'wet' in 'wet reckless' means that there is an acknowledgement that the reckless driving involved alcohol and/or other drugs. This disposition is authorized by Vehicle Code Section 23103.5. You cannot be arrested for or charged with a 'wet reckless'; it is not a stand-alone crime. It is exclusively a negotiated plea. Essentially, it is a disposition in between a reckless driving conviction and a DUI conviction. Think of it as a reduced-penalty DUI. Now we wait for the NFL to rule on possible suspension for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver This is a big win for Jordan Addison, outside of football. Sure, the reckless driving charge probably means it'll cost him a lot of money to get into Canada for the next decade or so, but this plea deal means he will no longer have 'DUI' on his driving record. If more details come out on exactly what led to today's plea, we will add it to this article. But on the football field, we do not know what this change will mean for a possible Jordan Addison suspension. As Florio noted earlier this week, the standard operating procedure for a DUI suspension is three games. Related: Clearly, a 'wet reckless' still has legally binding alcohol-related implications. Thus, the NFL would still be well within its right to suspend Addison, even after the plea deal. Will they? If they do indeed go through with a suspension, will it reach the three game standard, or will the league bring Addison's punishment down as well? We'll soon find out.

Sixers star Tyrese Maxey explains tweet firing back at smack talkers
Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey has had a long offseason when considering the Sixers did not make the playoffs following a 24-58 season. That has given Maxey a lot of time to reflect, work on his game, and also take some time to read what the great people on Twitter have to say. Maxey had a tweet recently that went viral as he had a message for those on Twitter talking a lot of trash about him or the Sixers, in general. Essentially, he said he sees what people are saying and he is taking everything to heart. In an interview with ClutchPoints, Maxey explained why he posted the tweet: 'Yeah, that wasn't even for me personally. That was just in general. I mean, I had a lot of time on my hands, sadly, because we lost early. I just got a chance to really read people's tweets, not just that pertain to me, just pertain to everybody in the world. It's just like, 'man, people are really getting stuff off their chest.' Hey, I get it. Get it off, man. I'm not mad at it at all. Hey, if you've got something to say, speak it. That's the world that we live in. That's why we live in America.' Maxey is somebody who doesn't need much motivation as he continues through his career. The Sixers will be looking for him to lead the way in the 2025-26 season and get them back on track to winning their first title since 1983.
