Brandin Cooks' record-breaking touchdown catch is the Saints Play of the Day
There's a 98-day stretch between us and the start of the New Orleans Saints' 2025 regular season, and we're counting down the days by looking back on some of the most iconic plays in franchise history. This time, our Saints Play of the Day is the 98-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees to Brandin Cooks back in 2016, which you can watch here. It was a classic grab-and-go reception by Cooks streaking down the left sideline. Brees dropped back to throw from his own end zone and found Cooks in one-on-one coverage against cornerback Sean Smith. Once Cooks put a step on his opponent, he was gone, and safety Reggie Nelson wasn't able to make up the distance in the open field. Advertisement Cooks broke a Saints record that had stood since their inaugural 1967 season on this play, outgaining Walter Roberts' 96-yard catch to achieve the longest play from scrimmage in team history. And he just returned to the Saints this offseason after spending time with the New England Patriots, Los Angeles Rams, Houston Texans, and Dallas Cowboys. They're hoping he can still uncork some big plays downfield like this one. This article originally appeared on Saints Wire: 2025 Saints season countdown: Brandin Cooks' TD is the Play of the Day

Adult Film Star Considering Lawsuit Against Zion Williamson After Recent Allegations Against Him Surface
An adult film star and influencer, Moriah Mills, is reportedly considering taking legal action against NBA star Zion Williamson, just days after Williamson was sued by another woman alleging he raped her in 2023. According to TMZ, Mills, who reportedly had a relationship with Williamson in 2023, contacted attorney Tony Buzbee about potentially filing a lawsuit against the New Orleans Pelicans player. Buzbee, a lawyer known for handling high-profile cases, including lawsuits against Jay-Z and, more recently, Shannon Sharpe, told the publication that Mills reached out to him about seeking legal action against Williamson "just hours" after another woman's lawsuit against the athlete became public. Details of Mills' potential lawsuit remain unclear; however, Buzbee said he's "evaluating her claims." When TMZ caught up with Mills in Los Angeles on May 30, she declined to comment on any potential legal action. She did, however, offer words of encouragement for Williamson. "I just hope you change your ways because your job and your family and your legacy is on the line," she said. Mills' comments aren't the first time the adult movie star has spoken about Williamson, 24. In 2023, Mills blasted the former Duke University player on X, formerly Twitter, after learning he was having a baby with another woman. According to Complex, Mills and Williamson had a "sneaky link" relationship; however, their feelings for each other developed into something more. Consequently, Mills said her heart was "broken and shattered" by the news of his child and called the baby a "deal breaker." She later mocked the basketball player on TikTok after he exited a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. "They don't play about me, like, that's all I'm gonna say," she said in the video. "Honestly, you'll never beat the GOAT, you're not the GOAT. You're not LeBron James. You'll never beat LeBron James. Goodnight." On May 30, news broke that a woman going by the pseudonym Jane Doe filed a shocking lawsuit against Williamson, claiming he repeatedly raped and assaulted her in September 2020. In the documents, the plaintiff alleged Williamson called her "stuck up" and a "b-tch" during an argument inside his Beverly Hills home. Doe then claimed Williamson told her she couldn't go to sleep "without having sex with him," which allegedly resulted in him forcibly pinning her down while sexually assaulting her. According to Doe, Williamson repeated his actions a month later after she expressed her desire to visit friends in San Diego. The legal documents further allege that after the assault, Williamson then took her phone and laptop, preventing her from contacting help. 'These two incidents were not isolated,' the lawsuit reads. 'Williamson continued to abuse, rape, assault, and batter Plaintiff in California and other states, including Louisiana and Texas, until the relationship ended in 2023.' In a statement, Williamson's attorney fired back at the allegations of sexual assault, calling them "categorically false and reckless." The lawyer continued, "We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and we unequivocally deny them. The allegations contained in the complaint are categorically false and reckless. This is the plaintiff's third set of attorneys. This appears to be an attempt to exploit a professional athlete driven by a financial motive rather than any legitimate grievance." Williamson's legal counsel also claimed the basketball player "never dated" Doe; however, the attorney admitted the pair had a "consensual, casual relationship that began more than six years ago when he was 18 years old." "That relationship ended years ago. At no point during or immediately after that relationship did the plaintiff raise any concerns. Only after the friendship ended did she begin demanding millions of dollars," the lawyer added. Elsewhere in the lawyer's statement, they revealed that Williamson reported the "plaintiff's extortion attempts to law enforcement" and that "an arrest warrant" was "issued in connection with that report." They also shared that Williamson plans to "file counterclaims and seek significant damages for this defamatory lawsuit." "While these allegations are false, we recognize the seriousness of the claims and welcome the opportunity to prove the truth in court. We are confident that the legal process will expose the truth and fully vindicate Mr. Williamson," the attorney said.

Big Taylor Swift News Drops After Pop Star's Announcement
Big Taylor Swift News Drops After Pop Star's Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has now been nearly four months since Taylor Swift made her last major public appearance. In February, the "Cruel Summer" singer attended Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans to cheer on her boyfriend, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately, the Chiefs failed to make history during the big game. Kelce and Co. were denied of what would have been an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat, as the Philadelphia Eagles secured the title with a 40-22 win. Since then, Swift has been keeping it low key as she reportedly spends as much time as she can with Kelce while their respective schedules still permit them to. Despite her current career hiatus, however, Swift still continues to make waves in the music scene. A testament to this fact is how she achieved another incredible milestone on Spotify. Swift's 2008 hit "Love Story" has now hit 1 billion streams on Spotify, making it her sixteenth track to surpass this amazing mark. It is worth noting that on top of the original version of the song, the re-recorded version, "Love Story (Taylor's Version)," is also on track to hit a billion streams in the coming week. In fact, "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", which was released in 2021, is reportedly expected to surpass the original version in a little over two weeks' time. Swift's latest milestone comes after she made a big announcement on her website on Friday. In a lengthy letter addressed to her fans, the 35-year-old revealed that after a roller-coaster journey, she now officially owns all of her music. "All of the music I've ever made... now belongs... to me," Swift announced. She went on to say that this is her "greatest dream come true" after she re-recorded and released four of her albums, calling them "Taylor's Version." This decision came after an ownership dispute with her former label, which is a battle that Swift has now clearly won. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on May 31, 2025, where it first appeared.
