Shedeur Sanders fan sues NFL
As the National Football League draft happened a couple of weeks ago, one fan has now filed a lawsuit against the NFL for 'Emotional distress and trauma' after Shedeur Sanders' late draft pick. Many reports have said that Sanders's late pick comes from him 'tanking interviews' or being 'too cocky.' The anonymous fan out of Georgia is going by 'John Doe' and is suing for $100 million in punitive damages.
Musk and 16-foot fence fight
Elon Musk, one of the world's richest men, has some neighbors by his West Lake Hill home frustrated as he has a 16-foot fence around the nearly 7,000 square-foot property. The neighbors debate the fence and how the home appears to be used as a security office rather than a home.

Derrick Henry's spot in future Adam Sandler film hinges on cracking this NFL milestone
Coming to the big screen near you: Adam Sandler and Derrick Henry (maybe). This week, Baltimore's star running back revealed to Dan Patrick, a good friend of Sandler's, that Sandler is his favorite actor and that he'd love to meet him one day. Patrick then upped the ante as he told Henry, who compiled 1,921 rushing yards last season in his first year with the Ravens, that if he could surpass 2,000 yards next season, he'd make sure to get him a spot in a Sandler movie. Advertisement 3 Adam Sandler spoke to Derrick Henry in a video to agree to the deal that would land Henry a role in a Sandler movie. The Dan Patrick Show The iconic actor and comedian agreed wholeheartedly. 'Yo Derrick, I just woke up, you know that. That's why I look disgusting — on top of the fact that I am disgusting,' Sandler joked at the start of a video message for Henry. 'I love ya, congrats on everything, 2,000 yards-plus gets you not only in the movie, but we have a nice dinner together and we talk about Dan Patrick's facial hair and how hard it is to grow it.' Advertisement Henry watched the video, grinning ear to ear. 'That's my dog, man,' Henry said as Sandler's message concluded. 'Hell yeah, man, that's cool as hell.' Henry then sent a heartfelt message to Patrick to thank him for getting him in contact with his favorite actor. Advertisement 'Dan thank you for sending the message for the video, that was really cool!' the Ravens running back wrote. 'Much love!' 3 Dan Patrick helped Derrick Henry get in contact with Adam Sandler. The Dan Patrick Show So, the stakes have been raised. Henry has reached 2,000 yards in a season just once across his nine-year NFL career — hitting the mark in year No. 5 of his eight seasons spent with the Tennessee Titans. Advertisement In his inaugural season with the Ravens in 2024-25, he just barely missed the mark. 3 Derrick Henry came up just short of 2,000 yards last season. AP But by coming up just 79 yards short, the 31-year-old — who was awarded a $30 million extension with the Ravens last month — certainly showed that he's got some left in the tank as he looks to jumpstart his movie career on the one condition that Patrick and Sandler laid out for him. The five-time Pro Bowler and 2020 AP Offensive Player of the Year has appeared in plenty of advertisements and commercials across his NFL years, so he's got some acting chops already.

Jaguars' Travis Hunter is not looking to become trendsetter, just being himself
WATCH THE FULL ACTION SPORTS JAX INTERVIEW WITH TRAVIS HUNTER IN THE VIDEO PLAYER ABOVE From a young age, Travis Hunter, the 2025 first-round draft pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars, knew his dream was to play in the NFL. Advertisement Growing up in South Florida, his father was a football and track athlete for Boynton Beach Community High School, so football was simply a part of who Hunter was as a young boy. 'Since I first picked up a football, when I was about four years old, always wanted to be on the biggest stage,' Hunter said. Hunter has played with that same level of energy his entire life. It's fairly common to play both sides of the ball in high school. The twelve-minute quarters, running clock, and simplicity of the game at that level make it far more of a possibility than in college or the NFL. Advertisement RELATED: 1-On-1 with Jaguars' Travis Hunter: To understand the player, you must first understand the man While Hunter might have been an elite athlete playing on both sides of the ball, it was simply his love for the game that led him to become who he is today. 'I think because a lot of people tell me I can't do it, but also I love just being on the football field, I grew up playing both sides of the ball, and never coming off the football field. I have high energy, as you can tell. I just love being on the football field and do my job,' Hunter told Action News Jax. RELATED: 'Beyond the Smile:' Travis Hunter scoring points in Duval before taking his first snap with the Jags Advertisement Wherever Hunter seems to go, dreams become reality and success follows. Whether it's his five-star rating, state championship, Heisman trophy, or draft pedigree, Hunter's success and the way he plays the game have never been seen before in the modern era. It's that propensity to break records and to change the way the sport is played that makes Hunter so intriguing as a player. Every play, Hunter is doing something never before seen. RELATED: Jaguars' Travis Hunter is fitting in just fine in Jacksonville It certainly helps that he does it out of pure joy. Few seem to enjoy the game as much as Hunter. Advertisement It's wholesome and endearing. That said, Hunter isn't looking to become a trendsetter and get more young athletes to attempt to play both sides of the ball. It's just the path he chose. [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] 'A lot of people play high school ball or Pop Warner and play both sides of the ball pretty natural thing for an elite athlete, but do you think more people will try to do what you're doing?' Action Sports Jax's Brent Martineau asked. 'I don't think they will try to do what I do. I hope they go out and be themself and if it comes to them, they go and do it, but I'm not trying to be a trendsetter, my journey is what I do,' Hunter said. Advertisement While it isn't Hunter's intention, it might be naive to think that kids won't be looking to emulate the Heisman winner's ability to play both sides. [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter] Hunter has immediately become one of the NFL's most popular players, and intriguing stories. Much like Shoehei Ohtani opened the way for two-way players in MLB, Travis Hunter has made the impossible possible in football. The jury is still out as to what extent Hunter will play both sides of the ball, however, he's certainly got the talent, and if his prior success is any indication, NFL fans may see history being made in Jacksonville.
