Chargers star Quentin Johnston knocked out cold after sickening blow to the head
Johnston was going out to catch a pass in the first quarter when the Rams' Tanner Ingle hit him underneath his facemask and knocked him to the ground.
The receiver also slammed his head onto the turf as he fell, and appeared to display the 'fencing' concussion response as he briefly held his arms up.
Johnston laid on his back for several moments before being attended to by trainers and ultimately being helped to his feet.
He was then carted to the locker room, and could be seen holding his head on the sideline.

Michael Jordan's ugly legal battle with NASCAR presses on as judge rules on 'falsifying documents' claim
A judge denied a motion filed by NASCAR in a legal battle between the stock car racing circuit and two of its race teams - including one owned by NBA icon Michael Jordan. Jordan's 23XI Racing joined forces with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) to file a lawsuit against NASCAR last October - alleging that the governing body's actions violate anti-trust laws. The lawsuit accuses NASCAR and the France family (which has owned and operated the league since inception) of monopolizing American stock car racing. The family has denied this claim. The ongoing suit has been brutal and is set for trial proceedings to begin on December 1. On Monday, a judge in North Carolina passed down an important ruling in the case. NASCAR demanded that the court issue an order to show cause - forcing 23XI, FRM, and their lawyers to explain why sanctions shouldn't be imposed against them for presenting 'manufactured evidence'. On Monday, the court denied the racing organization's motion for an order requiring the two teams to show cause. In the motion, NASCAR's attorneys accused the plaintiffs of making false statements in declarations made in December 2024 - as well as manufacturing evidence which was submitted to support a second motion for a preliminary injunction. The racing circuit presented messages from the agent of 23XI owner and current Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, 23XI president Steve Lauletta, 23XI drivers Bubba Wallace and Corey Heim, FRM owner Bob Jenkins, and FRM general manager Jerry Freeze. NASCAR also accused one of the plaintiff's attorneys of writing emails which 'were false' and were relied upon to grant an injunction which has since been vacated after an appeal from the racing organization. 23XI and FRM's lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, dismissed NASCAR's claim as 'another baseless distraction intended to try to divert the Court's attention from the overwhelming evidence that demonstrates that Jim France and NASCAR have been operating an unlawful monopoly that has hurt not just my clients, but all of stock car racing.' The suit filed against NASCAR accuses the league of monopolizing American stock car racing by owning a majority of the tracks NASCAR races on, imposing exclusivity deals on NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, acquiring its biggest competitor (ARCA), preventing teams from participating in any other stock car races, and forcing teams to buy parts from single-source suppliers chosen by the racing organization. Also central to the suit is the 'charter system' - where teams pay tens of millions of dollars per car for the right to a guaranteed starting spot and a share of a preferred purse. While locking down that starting spot is important in the search for sponsorships, the cost of charters have fluctuated through the years. It's believed to have cost about $30m per charter this year. FRM and 23XI are the only two teams who declined to sign a new charter arrangement which runs from 2025 to 2031. Tyler Reddick (L) is currently the lead driver in the points standings for 23XI Motorsports Speaking on the suit last season, Jordan said, 'Everyone knows that I have always been a fierce competitor, and that will to win is what drives me and the entire 23XI team each and every week out on the track. 'I love the sport of racing and the passion of our fans, but the way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors, and fans. Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins.' Both FRM and 23XI are still racing in NASCAR for the 2025 season. 23XI has four drivers: Tyler Reddick (7th in driver's standings), Wallace (10th in standings), Riley Herbst (35th), and Burt Myers (42nd). FRM's three drivers - Zane Smith, Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson - are 27th, 31st, and 33rd respectively.

Nepo baby influencer with over 526K followers has a VERY famous dad... do YOU know who it is?
Sometimes you find your passions through your parents. And Ava Raine - born Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson - is a professional wrestler just like her very famous father. You might have heard of him: he goes by 'The Rock.' Ava was born to Dwayne Johnson and his ex-wife Dany Garcia in 2001. And at just 23 years old, she has become a huge name in American wrestling just like her iconic dad, grandfather Rocky Johnson, and great-grandfather Peter Maiva. Being born into wrestling royalty through her dad and getting a business mindset from her mother - who became the first woman to ever own a major sports league - Ava was set up for success from the beginning. So when an injury in 2019 stopped her from attending New York University for undergraduate studies, she took it as a sign to pursue her dreams of wrestling instead. Ava was accepted into the WWE in 2020 and made her debut on stage two years later. But after Schism - the faction Ava aligned herself with - lost a match in 2023 and it began to fall apart, Ava made the career decision to switch from in the ring to behind the scenes. Starting off as an assistant, she worked her way up and became the youngest General Manager of NXT in history at just 22 years old. By 2024, she created the NXT Women's North American Championship, launching the first-ever secondary women's title in WWE. And Dwayne wasn't just proud - he said Ava's interest in wrestling actually saved their relationship. 'I had [Ava] when I was young, in my 20s,' The Rock said on The Pivot podcast in 2023. 'So when I had [Ava], I was flying by the seat of my pants. I was wrestling full-time, I started transitioning into movies full time, I had so much s**t going on. 'I like to say that me and [Ava] grew up together, but we had a relationship where I was always gone, and we tried to keep it together. 'Now, years later, as she becomes a pro wrestler, it's actually brought us closer together.' Dwayne credits pro wrestling to mending his relationship with his daughter who had to grow up mostly in his absence due to his thriving career He explained that when she came to him about wanting to get into pro wrestling, it helped them spend more time together and understand one another more. Dwayne is considered one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He is a 10-time WWE world champion, a two-time Intercontinental Champion, a five-time Tag Team Champion, and the winner of the 2000 Royal Rumble. He was the sixth Triple Crown Champion in WWE history. He was also named the Most Popular Wrestler of the Year in both 1999 and 2000 as well as Wrestler of the Year in 2000. And although Ava - who is also an influencer and has over 526,000 followers - still has many ways to go before even coming close to her father's legacy, it's clear she's using her nepo baby title to pave her own path in the wrestling world she inherited.

After rare recent win, Mets meet Mariners in Little League Classic
August 17 - Nolan McLean became the youngest pitcher on the New York Mets upon his promotion from Triple-A on Saturday. The Mets hope the boost the 24-year-old provided will carry into Sunday night when the Mets travel to the symbol of youth baseball and face the Seattle Mariners in the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pa. Clay Holmes (9-6, 3.71 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against fellow right-hander George Kirby (8-5, 3.71). The contest will serve as the finale of a three-game interleague set. The Mets evened the series Saturday after McLean allowed two hits and struck out eight over 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his major league debut. By virtue of New York's 3-1 victory, McLean joined Matt Harvey as the only Mets pitchers to earn a win while striking out at least eight and not allowing run in their major league debuts. Harvey struck out 11 over 5 1/3 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 26, 2012. McLean's strong start sparked a rare complete and efficient performance by the Mets, who recorded only their third win in the last 17 games to move 1 1/2 games ahead of the Cincinnati Reds in the race for the last wild-card berth in the National League. New York squandered leads in each of its previous six losses entering Saturday's game. Francisco Lindor, however, snapped a scoreless tie with a run-scoring double in the third inning before Juan Soto (sacrifice fly) and Pete Alonso (double) each added an RBI in the seventh. About McLean, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said: "We felt the energy since the moment he took the mound. Definitely something that maybe we were missing, especially with how hard this stretch has been." The Mariners have lost three of four games on the heels of a 10-1 run. Seattle fell 1 1/2 games behind American League West-leading Houston but is tied with Boston for the league's top wild-card spot. But each of Seattle's last three defeats have been by two runs or fewer. The Mariners loaded the bases with one out in the third inning on Saturday before McLean turned a 1-4-3 double play on Julio Rodriguez's sharp comebacker. "A nifty little play with the bases loaded, and they get the double play," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "It took the wind out of our sails early." The Mariners avoided their first shutout since July 21 thanks to Eugenio Suarez, who homered with one out in the ninth inning. Holmes didn't factor into the decision last Tuesday after allowing five runs over 3 2/3 innings in the Mets' 13-5 win over the Atlanta Braves. He is 0-2 with a 4.73 ERA and two saves in 12 career relief appearances against the Mariners. Kirby earned the win Tuesday after throwing seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball in Seattle's 1-0 victory over Baltimore. He is 0-1 with a 5.14 ERA in two starts against the Mets. --Field Level Media
