A program giving Georgia drivers extra time to pay toll amounts is ending soon. The Georgia State Road and Toll Authority said in a recent announcement that their Fee Freeze program ends June 30.

The full toll amount listed on the notice must be paid on or before June 30.

NFL Explores Foreign Team Ownership, Says Ex-Commanders President
Summary TheNational Football League (NFL)is reportedly on the cusp of opening its doors to foreign investment in team ownership, according to Jason Wright, the former president of theWashington Commanders. Speaking on a sports business panel last week at Gabelli Funds' annual Media & Sports Symposium in New York, Wrightstatedthat his 'experience in NFL circles suggests the league is close to opening itself up to foreign investment.' While sovereign wealth funds from regions like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates have already taken significant stakes in global sports like soccer, golf, and auto racing, major U.S. leagues have historically resisted such direct foreign ownership. However, with the NFL's continued business surge and its ambition for international expansion, Wright sees the diversification of its money pool as an 'inevitability.' Wright explained that the NFL, being a 'slower mover,' will likely 'test the waters' initially through large-scale 'partnership deals with companies and brands that we know foreign governments are behind and supporting.' He suggested that once these significant sponsorships, such as naming rights deals at the team level or marquee league partnerships, start emerging, it will signal a direct investment from foreign entities is on the horizon. These discussions, he revealed, 'have been happening in the background.' Wright, who served as the first Black president of an NFL franchise from 2020 to 2024, emphasized that smaller leagues might see sovereign investment more directly first due to greater need, but the NFL's move is a matter of when, not if. This shift could significantly impact the financial landscape of the league, potentially unlocking new capital for team operations and further international growth.

Bears player D.J. Moore sells Lincolnshire condo for $870,000
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore on June 6 sold his three-bedroom, 3,272-square-foot duplex penthouse condominium in a building in Lincolnshire for $870,000. A Philadelphia native, Moore, 28, was traded to the Bears in 2023 with several other draft picks in exchange for the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He signed a four-year, $110 million contract extension last year. Through an opaque land trust aimed at masking his identity, Moore paid $825,000 in 2023 for the duplex condo. Located in a building constructed in 2008, the condo has 3-1/2 bathrooms, crown moldings, a dining room with a recessed ceiling, a living room with a custom Carrara marble fireplace wall and custom built-in floating cabinets and shelves, and a kitchen with Calcutta gold marble, white-beveled subway tiles, white shaker cabinets, a stainless steel Samsung refrigerator, a stainless steel Bosch dishwasher, a stainless steel Frigidaire range and microwave, a breakfast counter and a coffee bar. Other features include a primary bedroom suite with two custom-designed walk-in closets, double sinks with custom stone counters and Kohler fixtures. The unit also has a laundry room with finishes to match the kitchen, a private entrance from the second floor, a second-floor family room with a vaulted ceiling and skylights, a custom walnut dry bar with soapstone counters and Hinkley and Hudson light fixtures throughout. Outside, the condo has a large private outdoor terrace, an outdoor balcony with a gas hookup for a grill and parking for two cars in a heated garage. Moore first listed the condo in February for $950,000, and he found a buyer in May. Listing agent Jeff Ohm did not respond to a request for comment. The Lincolnshire condo had a $20,168 property tax bill in the 2024 tax year. It also costs its owner another $12,492 each year in homeowners association dues. Moore has owned other properties. He sold a five-bedroom, 4,498-square-foot house in Charlotte, N.C. for $1.3765 million in 2023. And he long has been trying to sell a five-bedroom, 9,757-square-foot mansion on 3.9 gated, waterfront acres in Charlotte for $5 million. That mansion is located on Lake Wylie, a man-made lake on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina.
