A bear was apparently spotted on ESPN's Bristol campus
An ESPN radio show shared some absolutely frightening information with its listeners on Thursday: a bear was located on the grounds of the network's Bristol campus.
During ESPN Radio's Joe & Q program with Joe Fortenbaugh and Q Myers, Fortenbaugh talked about how a "yellow emergency light" flashing at the network campus eventually sparked the revelation that none other than a bear was present on the facilities.
'There's a bear on the campus here of ESPN,' Fortenbaugh said on the program. 'It is the bear alert. So, everyone on campus stay inside. There's a black bear on the campus at the current moment.'
Perhaps that bear was trying to find who to complain to about Around the Horn going off the air?

We don't know what happened with this bear exactly, but hopefully he just got some souvenirs, took a selfie with Tony Kornheiser and went back to the forest.

Zion Williamson rape accuser seeking eye-popping $18 million to $50 million in bombshell lawsuit
The woman alleging Zion Williamson raped her is seeking 'anywhere from $18 million to $50 million' in the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles superior court, a source told ESPN. Williamson denied the allegations to The Post on Friday via his legal representatives. The woman, identified as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, claims to be the Pelicans star's ex-girlfriend, having allegedly started dating when Williamson was a freshman at Duke in 2018 until 2023. 'During the course of their relationship, Defendant engaged in a continuing pattern of abusive, controlling and threatening behavior toward Plaintiff,' the lawsuit reads, as obtained by The Post. 'His wrongful conduct occurred in Louisiana and continued thereafter across several states. The abuse was sexual, physical, emotional and financial in nature.' The lawsuit contains graphic details from a pair of 2020 encounters. Doe alleges in the lawsuit that she arrived on Sept. 23, 2020 to the Beverly Hills home that Williamson rented at the time and he requested sex. When Doe told the former No. 1 pick she was tired and wanted to go to sleep, he allegedly called her 'stuck up' and a 'b—h' and said she could not go to bed before sleeping with him. After she said no, the 24-year-old Williamson allegedly 'pinned Plaintiff down on the bed with her hands behind her back and raped her.' When Doe attempted to grab her phone, Williamson allegedly threw it across the room before choking her and yelling at her for 'talking too much.' A second alleged rape is claimed to have occurred roughly one month later on Oct. 10, 2020. Doe alleges to have told Williamson she wanted to visit a friend in San Diego and he said that she could not go while throwing items in the house. Williamson is then alleged to have 'picked her up, threw her down to the ground, and pinned her shoulders down so she could not move. Defendant violently raped Plaintiff in multiple ways.' Doe alleges Williamson then took her cell phone and laptop to prevent her from contacting anyone. The lawsuit alleges Williamson 'continued to abuse, rape, assault and batter plaintiff' in multiple other states until the relationship ended in 2023. Doe also claims Williamson threatened to kill her and her family, including an allegation of him threatening to pay his security guard to shoot her in the head and kill her parents. 'Our client is very adamant about this — it's not her desire or our desire to litigate this case in the press,' Doe's attorney, Sam Taylor with the Lanier Law Firm, said to The Post. 'It's a very serious case, as reflected in the allegations. Our client looks forward to her day in court where she can go and explain to a jury what happened to her, the things she endured for this defendant and getting justice.' Williamson's legal counsel said in a statement they plan to file a counterclaim against Doe and seek 'significant damages for this defamatory lawsuit. 'We take these allegations with the utmost seriousness, and we unequivocally deny them. The allegations contained in the complaint are categorically false and reckless,' Williamson's legal counsel told The Post. '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.' The representatives added that Williamson has reported 'the plaintiff's extortion attempts to law enforcement' and allege that an arrest warrant was issued 'in connection with the report.' His representatives claim the two had a 'consensual, casual relationship' but never dated. '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 statement provided to The Post on Friday read. '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.' Williamson just completed his sixth season in the NBA — he did not play in 2021-22 — all with the Pelicans, and has struggled to live up to expectations due to injuries. He has played at least 60 games only twice, with the ex-Duke star appearing in only 30 games this past season. Williamson has dealt with off-the-court drama during his career. Adult film star Moriah Mills claimed in 2023 that the two had a relationship and she threatened to release alleged sex tapes featuring the pair. Ahkeema Love, the mother of Williamson's daughter, was arrested in April and charged with home invasion, aggravated battery and stalking after breaking into a woman's home and hitting her with keys, Kenner (La.) police said, as reported by NBC News. Williamson was not named in the probable cause affidavit from the incident.

Dodgers star Mookie Betts sustains freak toe injury while walking to bathroom
The Los Angeles Dodgers were without star Mookie Betts in the team's 8-5 win over the New York Yankees due a freak toe injury he reportedly sustained walking to a bathroom. Betts, 32, said he banged his toe into a wall as he walked to the bathroom in the dark, according to the Los Angeles Times. X-Rays revealed Betts fractured the toe, according to ESPN. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Betts will miss games against the Yankees Saturday and Sunday, but he doesn't expect the eight-time All-Star to go on the injured list. "I feel confident saying it's day to day," Roberts said, "but putting on a shoe today was difficult for him." Betts is having a down year, relative to his career numbers. The 2018 AL MVP has a .254 batting average with eight home runs and 31 RBIs and a .742 OPS in 53 games this season. In his 12-year career, Betts has a batting average of .293 and an .891 OPS. Betts' freak injury is not the first for the Dodgers this season. First baseman Freddie Freeman had a similar incident that caused him to miss nine games after he slipped in the shower and aggravated his surgically repaired right ankle. "Mookie's toe, that's kind of freaky, like what happened to me," Freeman said after the Dodgers' win. "You hit the speed bumps along the way. We did it last year, and we did all right. Hopefully, we can do that again this year." The Yankees (35-21) and Dodgers (35-22) will play the second game of their three-game series Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET on FOX.

Survivor 50: Boston Rob explains why he turned down Jeff Probst
For many Survivor fans, it seemed inconceivable to put together an all-star cast for the 50th season that didn't include Rob Mariano — better known as Boston Rob. The five-time castaway, who finished runner-up to his eventual wife Amber Brkich on Survivor: All-Stars before finally winning Survivor: Redemption Island in season 23, is arguably the most well-known player ever marooned. But when the season 50 castaways were revealed, Boston Rob was nowhere to be found. SURVIVOR 50: Mike White's return has an obvious White Lotus problem It turns out, this wasn't an egregious snub. After fans voiced numerous complaints about Mariano's absence for the milestone season, Boston Rob took to Twitter/X to set the record straight. Wow!!! I got all of your DM's and messages so so many thank you all!! ♥️ But literally don't be mad @survivorcbs and @jeffprobst early on they called and asked… I wanted my spot to go to someone else. I am truly fulfilled with my Survivor Journey and I'm eternally grateful!🔥 — Boston Rob (@BostonRob) May 30, 2025 It's somewhat comforting to know host Jeff Probst at least reached out to offer Boston Rob a spot on the island, but Rob essentially confirming his Survivor days are over definitely stings. Many fans have called for Rob to replace Probst as host if and when the latter ever decides to hang up his torch snuffer. It seems like that might be the only chance we get to see Mariano return to Fiji. Until then, we'll have to just tip our cap to one of the most entertaining castaways to ever play the game.
