Stefon Diggs took tusi, cocaine in viral boat video? Mike Vrabel addresses controversy
Star New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was spotted partying on a boat with unidentified women. Videos of the 31-year-old show him passing a bag of a 'pink substance' to the women, and now NFL fans are speculating if it was 'pink cocaine' or the recreational drug 'tusi'.
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel addressed the controversy on Wednesday. 'Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him, I and the club,' Vrabel said before an optional practice. Diggs did not attend the practice.
'It's something that we're aware of. Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field. … The message will be the same for all our players, that we're trying to make great decisions," the head coach added.
NFL officials are yet to confirm if Diggs was distributing drugs in the video. The WR's team has not issued a statement.
Meanwhile, several fans speculated that Stefon Diggs was distributing tusi, a recreational drug.
'Stefon Diggs made them junkies beg for the tusi then pulled it out like how the cops show their badge on Law and Order LMAO,' one person said on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
'I did not have Stefon Diggs being a tusi fiend on my 2025 bingo card,' another one added.
'not stefon diggs whipping out a bag of tusi 😭,' a third fan tweeted. They also attached a video from the boat.
Tusi, or 'pink cocaine', is a recreational drug, typically a pink-dyed powder. It's a mix of ketamine, MDMA, and sometimes caffeine or methamphetamine, but rarely contains cocaine or 2C-B.
Stefon Diggs, a two-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowl selection, is third in receptions (857) since his debut in 2015. From 2018-23, he posted six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.
Diggs had 107 receptions for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns for the Buffalo Bills in 2023. He was traded to the Texans last offseason and got off to a fast start with 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games before being injured.

Why the NFL's Olympic flag football plan could be a national embarrassment
Many fans believe the NFL Dream Team concept could dilute the essence of the sport (Image via Getty) As flag football prepares for its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games, excitement across the sporting world is undeniable. But amid the buzz, a growing wave of concern is rising among fans and grassroots athletes, especially with the prospect of NFL superstars dominating Team USA's roster. With Olympic gold at stake, fans question whether fame should trump skill While names like Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and even a potential Tom Brady return generate headlines and global attention, many fans believe this "NFL Dream Team" concept could dilute the essence of the sport. Unlike tackle football, flag football is a game of agility, speed, and precision not brute strength or hard hits. It thrives on quick decision-making, efficient flag pulling, and a rhythm that many argue NFL players aren't trained for. For years, flag football athletes have honed their skills outside the spotlight, building a community and culture deeply rooted in strategy and finesse. Fans fear that allowing NFL stars to jump in at the last moment, simply because of their celebrity status, disrespects the journey of those who've carried the sport to this point. On social media and sports forums, supporters of the game are voicing a common concern, the Olympics should be a celebration of the best in each sport, not just the most famous. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Egypt: New Small Electric Car For Seniors.

Electric Cars | Search Ads Undo They question whether the inclusion of big-name players could come at the cost of seasoned flag football veterans who've worked tirelessly without fanfare. To address the backlash, USA Football has introduced a rule limiting NFL participation to one player per team, in an attempt to balance popularity with merit. Still, the move hasn't fully quelled criticism, with many arguing that even one high-profile inclusion could skew the competitive and cultural balance.

Geno Smith and Pete Carroll reunion in Vegas has the Raiders hoping for repeat success
HENDERSON, Nev. — The Raiders were stretching before practice Thursday when coach Pete Carroll wandered over to quarterback Geno Smith. As the two chatted for about a minute as Smith continued to go through his stretches, it was a clear reminder of the strong relationship the two built in Seattle — and what that could mean now that they are reunited in Las Vegas. 'I think Coach Carroll is extremely relatable," Smith said. "I think he understands that guys have got to be themselves in order to be their best selves. He's a fun person to be around. You see just how positive he always is, he's always got a bright smile, he's always laughing, joking around. It's not him above the team or anyone above the team. It's everyone together, collectively.' The Raiders hope the success the two had together with the Seahawks translates to their new home. Carroll took Seattle to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances — winning once with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Later, Carroll resurrected Smith's career by signing him in 2019 as the backup. Smith, a second-round pick in 2019 by the Jets, had lost his starting job with New York and spent one season each as a backup with the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers. Smith took over as Seattle's starter in 2022 and led the league by completing 69.8% of his passes while throwing for 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He was selected as the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year. The Seahawks posted winning records all three years with Smith as the starter, but his career there reached a crossroads after last season. The two parties failed to reach a contract agreement, leading to the March 7 trade in which the Raiders gave up a third-round draft pick. That means Smith is starting over again. 'There's not a lot of guys that would have shown that resiliency,' offensive coordinator Chip Kelly said. "There's not a lot of guys that would have persevered through all of that. ... He's so relatable to everybody in this program because he's kind of lived that life. "The fact that he has done it and come out and to be the way he is now is really a testament to him.' Smith said his up-and-down NFL career has helped him 'cherish it a little bit more.' The Raiders are putting their hopes and money — they signed Smith to a two-year, $75 million extension that takes it through the 2027 season — that he can help make the franchise at least competitive again. Three AFC West teams made the playoffs last season. The Raiders, who went 4-13, were the only ones taking early vacations, meaning hopes of ending a playoff victory drought that dates to the 2003 season would continue. Smith also has the burden of trying to win in a division with fellow quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix. But Smith also takes over an offense that includes tight end Brock Bowers, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and running back Ashton Jeanty. Bowers comes off a rookie season in which he was named an All-Pro after catching 112 passes for 1,194 yards. Meyers, who took over as the top receiver after Davante Adams was traded to the Jets, broke the 1,000-yard barrier for the first time. Jeanty was drafted sixth overall this year out of Boise State after finishing second in the Heisman Trophy balloting. 'Winning is something that we want to do right now,' Smith said. "Just seeing the direction everything's going and how hard these guys are working and just how bad everyone wants to win, I'm fortunate to be a part of this thing. I just want to continue to build it, to continue for this thing to grow. The sky's the limit for this team, this organization. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.' At 34, Smith provides a veteran presence at sports' ultimate leadership position, and Kelly said he even has impacted how the coaches go about their business. 'He's just been emblematic of what a leader should be, by his habits and by the way he brings himself every day," Carroll said. 'He's the first guy out here, he's the last guy to leave.' Meyers noted that time commitment as well. /hub/nfl
