Motive for Manhattan Murder? - CNN This Morning with Audie Cornish - Podcast on CNN Podcasts
As today's show begins we learn of a possible motive in the murder of four people in a midtown Manhattan mass shooting. The gunman, identified as 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas, walked into a Park Avenue high-rise with an assault-style rifle and opened fire. That building is home to the corporate offices of the National Football League. A source tells CNN a suicide note was found on Tamura's body, and the shooter wrote he was suffering from CTE, a brain disease linked to head trauma, which can be caused by contact sports.

Inside Commanders' Plans to Unleash Deebo Samuel: ‘It'll Be Huge [for Jayden Daniels]'
National Football League Inside Commanders' Plans to Unleash Deebo Samuel: 'It'll Be Huge [for Jayden Daniels]' Published Aug. 7, 2025 1:10 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Early in the offseason, Deebo Samuel asked Kliff Kingsbury — politely — for more deep targets. Samuel, normally a slot guy, wanted to line up outside and run go-balls. Kingsbury figured: Why not? And so, lined up outside, Samuel hauled in his first target on a go-ball for a big play. The obvious takeaway? "Alright, we'll get you out there more," Washington's offensive coordinator told Samuel. It's a big part of what drew the Commanders to Samuel. Not the deep game. That has actually expanded the team's plans for Samuel. No, it's his ability to do just about anything. That's why Washington inked him to a three-year, $71.5 million deal after acquiring him from the 49ers this offseason. As the former Arizona Cardinals head coach, Kingsbury watched from the opposite sideline while Samuel and Christian McCaffrey caused fits for his defenses. And now, Kingsbury said he's "honored" to have the opportunity to make the most of Samuel's talents. Deebo Samuel is all smiles in Commanders camp working with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and QB Jayden Daniels. (Photo by John McDonnell/For The Washington Post via Getty Images) It should be a treat to watch one of the NFL's truly unique weapons and one of the NFL's brightest offensive minds in the same offense. "There'll be some things that people haven't seen with how we feature him," Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday. That's what I was hoping he'd say. It's a big win for Kingsbury. And it could be an even bigger win for Jayden Daniels. "I think it'll be huge [for Daniels' development]," Kingsbury told me. "Those hidden yards that you can get with a player like Deebo, whether it's a screen or a quick pass when he makes the first guy miss, is so valuable for a quarterback. The pressure is not always on you to hold on to it and throw it down the field, and so that's kind of an outlet that can be a real peace of mind. When things are getting harder, OK, how do we get Deebo the ball? Let's get him involved. He can get it going. It doesn't have to be all on the QB." ADVERTISEMENT Terry McLaurin has long been a deep threat for the Commanders. Often connecting with McLaurin, Daniels led the NFL in go-route success last season, per Next Gen Stats, with nine touchdowns and no interceptions. Daniels still sees room for improvement, and he said the repetitions will be the key to opening up that element of the passing game. There should come a point where McLaurin stretches vertically and Samuel challenges the width of the defense in the intermediate and checkdown areas — with tight end Zach Ertz eating up yards in the middle of the field. Terry McLaurin (left) had a career-high 13 receiving touchdowns last season while rookie Jayden Daniels led the NFL in go-route success. (Photo by) But because McLaurin is holding in amid a contract dispute, Samuel is getting more of those go balls that he asked for upon arriving in Washington. "I think the route-running ability is way better than I anticipated," Kingsbury said of Samuel. "Yeah, he really has some natural feel, whether it's inside, outside, downfield, making plays." That much was clear in joint practices between the New England Patriots and the Commanders on Wednesday. Daniels looked early and often for Ertz over the middle. But it was Samuel who helped Daniels use more of the field. A swing pass here. A deep post there. And a deep crosser here. And no doubt, that unpredictability helped open up the middle of the field where — you guessed it — Ertz predictably attacked. Late in practice during a seven-on-seven red zone period, Daniels found Samuel in the back left corner of the end zone. The receiver ripped the ball out of the air over cornerback Marcus Jones' helmet. Samuel kept both feet in-bounds while backpedaling, and he secured the ball through Jones' swatting and the impact with the ground. It was a touchdown — and probably the most impressive catch by any player on the day. For Daniels to avoid a sophomore slump like we saw from Texans QB C.J. Stroud last year, Samuel might just be the key. Now, it'll take hard work. The 29-year-old receiver is coming off one of his worst statistical years in 2024, when he dealt with a calf strain, rib and oblique injuries, a wrist issue and pneumonia. But Samuel is grinding hard to make sure he understands Daniels' preferences in terms of routes, timing and coverages. And Kingsbury is working hard to conceptualize the best ways to get Samuel the football. Jacks of all trades are often masters of none. It's one thing to bring in someone as versatile as Samuel. It's another thing to properly utilize his talents. You can't always plug and play. Often, a unique player like Samuel requires a unique game plan. But that hard work is also a great opportunity for Kingsbury to flex his creative muscles. "You nailed it," he told me. "It's more of an honor for me to have a player like that, where you see all these different possibilities and plays. It really expands your playbook. It expands the personnel groups — trying to get mismatches with the defense. As an offensive mind, that's something that you can't put a price on getting that opportunity." So far, the Commanders haven't truly shown all their cards on how they'll use Samuel. Think of it like blackjack: one card up and the other down. Ertz admitted they're still fairly "vanilla" in terms of scheme. Kingsbury told me he "can't wait to game plan" around Samuel's unique skills. But Samuel did not line up at running back during the joint practice and hasn't spent much time there during training camp. Kingsbury said he wanted to establish Samuel's comfort in the slot spot and "build from there." And likely, when these practices close from the public eye in a few weeks, the Commanders will experiment with Samuel under the cover of privacy. McLaurin's recent trade request could emphasize Samuel's importance even more. Even if McLaurin returns to the Commanders on a new deal, we've seen receivers need a few weeks to recalibrate after a holdout or hold-in. For example, Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase had just 97 total yards in his first two games last year — both losses for Cincinnati. Early in practice on Wednesday, Samuel sidled up beside Daniels to chat and watch backup quarterback Josh Johnson run the second team offense for 11-on-11s. They could have been talking about the weather, about politics, about why the sky is blue. But I'd like to think they were talking about how that practice was a sign of things to come — an indicator that Washington's offense is about to get a whole lot more dangerous. Because of Samuel, the Commanders should get a whole lot more dangerous.

Mishandling Of Micah Parsons Latest Case Of Jerry Jones Choosing Headlines Over Wins
National Football League Mishandling Of Micah Parsons Latest Case Of Jerry Jones Choosing Headlines Over Wins Updated Aug. 7, 2025 12:52 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link OXNARD, Calif. — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said it plainly when he was asked about his penchant for keeping his team front of mind for NFL fans 365 days of the year. "I was the first one to ever put a camera in our draft room," Jones said. "I've found that our fans like getting behind the scenes. … All of this is a part of sport. I've always believed that. And that's why in my 35 years I've always encouraged a lot more visibility, a lot more candor, a lot more of this regarding a lot of times very sensitive subjects. But all of it related to the Cowboys and sport and having some kind of interest. "Fun is not what's happening. What's happening is I'm enjoying the whole show. I don't know if I've worked a day in my life since I've bought the Cowboys." If only Jones were that relentless in building and sustaining a championship culture. You know the numbers: The Cowboys haven't played in a Super Bowl in 30 years and have won four playoff games over the last 20 years. Their NFC East division rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, have won two Super Bowls over the last eight seasons under the direction of innovative GM Howie Roseman, and are a strong contender to win a third title this year. Jones seems more interested in generating headlines in a made-for-TV contract negotiation with star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who escalated the situation when he requested a trade last Friday. Later this month, Jones will be the star figure in a Netflix docuseries titled "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys," chronicling his life during his tenure as Cowboys owner. ADVERTISEMENT While Jones is focused on getting more eyeballs on his product, the team the Cowboys scrimmaged against on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Rams, were more intent on improving their product on the field in the hopes of Sean McVay making his third Super Bowl appearance in his nine seasons. The Rams finished 22 yards from knocking out the Eagles in the division round this past season, reloading a talented group that's made the playoffs in each of the last two seasons. Defensively, the Cowboys had no answer for Rams running back Kyren Williams and the Los Angeles running game, along with struggling to keep up with receivers Davante Adams, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell. And on offense, even with the addition of a new running back in Javonte Williams through free agency and rookie draft pick Jaydon Blue, the Cowboys couldn't get anything going on the ground. "They were great hosts today," chirped an always-energetic Rams head coach Sean McVay at the start of his press conference at the joint practice. Jones and the Cowboys were hospitable hosts, making the Rams feel very comfortable on their training camp stomping rounds in Oxnard. Yes, receivers KaVontae Turpin, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens created some highlights with Dak Prescott in the passing game for the Cowboys, but those successes were few and far between. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who is also calling plays for the first time in four years, emphasized the Cowboys were vanilla in terms of scheme, but also acknowledged his team has a ways to go. "Quite honestly, they gave us some fits," Shottenheimer said. "We had some communication errors. The run game wasn't great on offense. Some of the run-through linebackers, we've got to do a better job against that. But we got a bunch of work against a bunch of different looks. We'll go watch the film in a little bit, and usually it's not as bad or as good." Look, the Cowboys are missing one of the best players in the NFL two weeks into training camp – someone Jones said could miss the team's season opener against the Eagles because of a contract stalemate partly created by Jones, who believes Parsons should be on the field honoring the final deal of his rookie contract. "I bought the Dallas Cowboys with a handshake," Jones said when asked about a handshake deal he believed he had with Parsons in March. "It took about 30 seconds. I gave the number, shook hands, the details we worked out later. As a matter of fact, one of the details involved a lot of money and I had to flip a coin over that. But the fundamental, 'I'm buying and you're gonna sell it to me for that range,' that's done. And those are done with eye contact and a handshake. "Just so you understand the way that I communicate with people that I negotiate with. Let's leave it at that. There's no question that in the case of a player contract, you have to have it in writing. All parties do. We have a contract in writing, yet we're still talking about renegotiating." Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons' relationship hasn't been too friendly as of late, with the star edge rusher requesting a trade as the two sides have struggled to come to terms on a longterm deal. (Photo by) The Cowboys need all the help they can get, as they are led by a rookie coach who most NFL observers question whether he's qualified for the job, fair or not. Jones has the highest-paid quarterback in the league, but has failed to surround him with a legitimate running back, even when one was available last year and wanted to play for him in Derrick Henry. After passing on signing a top-flight receiver in free agency, Jones finally made a move for a difference maker in trading for Pickens, but the Cowboys still have holes along the offensive and defensive lines, and do not appear to have the roster makeup capable of competing against the likes of the Washington Commanders and Eagles. However, across the field from them on Tuesday stood a team that quietly got better in the offseason and avoided any self-inflicted headaches. They re-signed Matthew Stafford and recently extended Williams. They brought in a big-time playmaker in Adams and improved their run defense with the addition of defensive tackle Poona Ford. Jones is haggling with Parsons over a principled contract stance and chasing eyeballs with a historical team documentary while teams like the Rams are building a roster that can legitimately win a Super Bowl. Jones, 82, understands he's closer to the end than the beginning of his football legacy. He says he's all in, and if that's the case, signing one of his team's best players to a deal that keeps him on the team for the foreseeable future and eliminates a distraction for a new coach should at the top of the priority list, not creating a side show for a fan base pining for the salad days of the 1990s, when the rest of the league feared "America's Team."
