Trevor Lawrence opens up on dad's viral NFL draft moment: ‘That picture is crazy'
During an appearance Monday on Barstool Sports' 'Pardon My Take' podcast, co-host Dan 'Big Cat' Katz brought up that Jeremy Lawrence looked visibly uncomfortable and crammed on a couch with his family while Jacksonville was on the clock with the first overall pick.
'Why didn't you guys give any space to your dad on draft night?' Katz asked Lawrence, referring to a viral photo of the Pro Bowl quarterback sitting next to his wife, Marissa, mom Amanda and dad Jeremy.

Katz brought up his old tweet that showed him asking the same question during the 2021 NFL draft.
'I remember this, and I was dying.' Lawrence, selected first overall by the Jaguars in 2021, said of Katz's tweet.

'I said, 'Can we give Trevor's dad a little nut space, talk about squeezed out,'' Katz said, reading his tweet.
'No disrespect to your dad, but you guys basically made it like he doesn't have [privates],' Katz added.

Lawrence, who couldn't help but laugh, covered his face with his hand.
'My dad is such a nice guy,' the quarterback said. 'He's selfless. He wanted to give the couch away to me, Marissa, my mom — just a stud.
'That picture is crazy. He's also sitting there and you can tell he's not comfortable.'
'You guys squeezed the hell out of him. Did you apologize after?' Katz asked.

'No, I think I showed him [your tweet] after and he was just like shaking his head — didn't even say anything,' Lawrence said. 'That's hilarious. Sacrificing nuts for the draft … Love you, dad.'

2025 NFL Odds: Which QB Will Lead NFL In Interceptions?
A quarterback's worst nightmare often comes in the form of a pass caught by the other team. Last NFL season, Kirk Cousins and Baker Mayfield led the NFL with 16 of those nightmares. Which QB will lead the league in interceptions this upcoming season? Let's see the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of July 21. Most regular-season interceptions thrown Sam Darnold: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) Matt Stafford: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) J.J. McCarthy: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) Cam Ward: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) Baker Mayfield: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total) Trevor Lawrence: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Michael Penix Jr.: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Jordan Love: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Drake Maye: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Dak Prescott: +1500 (bet $10 to win $160 total) Brock Purdy: +1600 (bet $10 to win $170 total) The five quarterbacks tied atop the oddsboard are each at different phases of their careers. Sam Darnold had the best season of his career last year in Minnesota, throwing for 35 touchdowns and 12 picks. However, his Vikings flamed out in a 27-9 loss to Matt Stafford's Rams in the wild-card round, and Darnold is now the starter in Seattle, his fifth team in eight seasons. Stafford is a Super Bowl-winning QB entering his 17th season after throwing for 20 TDs and eight picks last season. Only four times in his career has he thrown fewer than 10 interceptions in a single season, and the previous three occasions took place in seasons when he played fewer than 10 games. J.J. McCarthy is the QB that will replace Darnold in Minnesota after missing his rookie season due to a torn meniscus. During his final season at Michigan, he threw for 22 TDs and four picks. Cam Ward was the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and will take over the quarterback reins in Tennessee. In his final season at Miami (FL), he threw 39 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. The last rookie and No. 1 pick to lead the league in picks was Trevor Lawrence in 2021 (17). As for Mayfield, as a starter, he's been somewhat of a turnover machine during his career. In seven professional seasons, he's thrown at least 10 interceptions five times. And in one of the seasons when he didn't reach 10 picks, he only started 10 games for two teams, amassing eight picks. Mayfield has thrown 26 interceptions over the past two seasons. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Supreme Court Urged by NBA To Clarify 37-Year-Old Law
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The National Basketball Association (NBA), along with support from the National Football League (NFL), is urging the United States Supreme Court to provide a definitive interpretation of the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA), a law enacted in the 1980s to protect consumer video rental and viewing records. Why It Matters As digital content and streaming services have redefined the modern viewing landscape, federal courts are divided on whether this decades-old law should apply to those accessing free online content. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd and 7th Circuits have ruled that the law does apply to consumers of a videotape service provider's non-audiovisual goods and services, while the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected this interpretation. "Only this Court can resolve the split," Shay Dvoretzky and Raza Rasheed, attorneys for the NBA, wrote in a brief filed Wednesday. Newsweek has reached out to the NBA for comment. A general overall exterior view of the Supreme Court, on January 1, 2023, in Washington. A general overall exterior view of the Supreme Court, on January 1, 2023, in Washington. Aaron M. Sprecher via AP What To Know The case centers on Michael Salazar, who in 2022 filed suit against the NBA after subscribing to its free online newsletter and watching complimentary videos on while logged into Facebook. Salazar alleges his video viewing history was shared with Meta, Facebook's parent company, without his consent, via tracking software incorporated on the NBA's website. The NBA argues that Salazar is not protected under the VPPA because he subscribed to the NBA's free email newsletter, not its audiovisual content. In October 2024, the 2nd Circuit ruled that Salazar was a "consumer" under the VPPA because he had exchanged personal information for access to NBA content. The 7th Circuit agreed with the 2nd Circuit's decision, but the 6th Circuit rejected those decisions, holding that the VPPA's protections only to those who subscribe to videocassette tapes or similar audiovisual materials. "This case is an excellent vehicle for addressing both the VPPA split and whether Salazar had standing to begin with," attorneys for the NBA wrote in a brief. Salazar's attorney, Joshua I. Hammack, argues that the Court should not consider the case because a final judgment has not been reached, and two amended complaints have been filed since the NBA petitioned the Court for certiorari. "This case is far from an 'ideal' or 'perfect vehicle,'" Hammack wrote in a brief. Newsweek has also reached out to Hammack for comment. In May, the NFL filed a brief supporting the NBA's petition and emphasizing the potential industrywide repercussions. The NFL argued that Supreme Court intervention is necessary to address a rise in class action lawsuits against content providers under the VPPA. "Absent the Court's intervention, sports leagues and other online content providers will continue to face a slew of class actions under the VPPA," attorneys for the NFL wrote in the brief. What is the VPPA? The VPPA was passed by Congress in 1988 and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan. The law is also referred to as the "Bork bill" because it was passed after Robert Bork's video rental history became public during his Supreme Court nomination. The law states that a "videotape service provider" who knowingly discloses information about any of its consumers is liable to provide relief. What People Are Saying Shay Dvoretzky and Raza Rasheed, attorneys for the NBA, in a brief filed Wednesday: "The parties agree that the petition presents an important, certworthy VPPA question. This case is an excellent vehicle to resolve that question and whether Salazar has Article III standing. The Second Circuit's decision on both questions was wrong, and it threatens widespread damage to the modern internet economy. The Court should intervene." Joshua I. Hammack, attorney for Michael Salazar, in a brief: "Nothing about 'subscribing' is unique to audiovisual goods or services. There is simply no basis to rewrite the VPPA's definition of 'consumer' to impose a limitation that appears nowhere in the text." What Happens Next The NBA has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. The Court has yet to decide whether it will hear the case.

Bengals owner Mike Brown optimistic about Trey Hendrickson deal as players report to training camp
Cincinnati Bengals training camp is set to get underway Tuesday, but the team still faces some significant questions about which players will be there. The Bengals remain locked in a contract stalemate with All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson, leading to questions over whether he'll report to camp and take part in drills. Despite that uncertainty, though, Bengals owner Mike Brown expressed optimism that a deal with Hendrickson will get done. Brown told reporters, "I think it will get done," in regards to a new deal for Hendrickson. Brown doubled down, saying the team was not looking to trade Hendrickson and is "working on getting [a deal] done." If that happens, it would end months of posturing from both sides. Hendrickson, who is entering the final year of his contract, is looking for a long-term deal after racking up a league-high 17.5 sacks last season. That performance earned Hendrickson his fourth selection to the Pro Bowl and his first All-Pro selection. After starting his career with the New Orleans Saints, Hendrickson has blossomed into a superstar with the Bengals, making the Pro Bowl in each season with the team. The 30-year-old has been vocal about getting a new deal, saying he will not play for the team on his current deal. While he was a surprise show at the team's offseason training, he skipped mandatory minicamp. That decision spurred renewed contract talks between both sides. That contract hasn't come yet, leading to questions about how Hendrickson will handle training camp Tuesday. Team director of player personnel Duke Tobin said he expects everyone "under contract" to report to the team. That would include Hendrickson, who is signed through 2025. Tobin also confirmed both sides have continued to talk about a new deal. He later added that he's not sure if they'll be able to reach a deal before the start of the regular season. Hendrickson isn't the only prominent player stuck in a contract-related tiff with the team. First rounder Shemar Stewart is the only player drafted in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft who has yet to sign with his team. Stewart — who has been working out at his alma mater — has not signed with the team over unusual contract guarantees that are not typically included in rookie deals. Brown took a different track on the Stewart negotiations Monday, saying it was "a form of foolishness" that no agreement has been reached.
