Shannon Sharpe will not return to ESPN as a commentator on 'First Take'
Shannon Sharpe will not be returning to ESPN, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who is not authorized to publicly discuss it. The development comes weeks after the former NFL star settled a $50-million lawsuit that accused him of rape. Attorney Tony Buzbee, whose firm represented the woman who filed the civil lawsuit against Sharpe earlier this year, announced the settlement on July 18 in a statement posted on Instagram. Sharpe's legal team said at the time that Buzbee's statement should be considered the 'final word' on the matter. Terms of the settlement have not been disclosed.

Sharpe's accuser sought damages for claims of assault, sexual assault, battery, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress after multiple alleged non-consensual sexual encounters in her Las Vegas apartment between October and January. The sports media personality has denied the allegations. He announced days after the lawsuit was filed that he was temporarily stepping away from his duties as a commentator on ESPN's 'First Take' but would return in time for the 2025 NFL season. At that time, an ESPN spokesperson said in a statement emailed to The Times that 'this is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon's decision to step away.' Sharpe has remained on his popular podcasts 'Club Shay Shay' and 'Nightcap.' The Athletic was the first to report that Sharpe won't be returning to ESPN.

Gunman who opened fire in a NYC skyscraper bought his $1,400 gun from his casino boss
The gunman who opened fire in a New York City skyscraper, killing four people, including an off-duty cop, bought his $1,400 gun from his boss at a Las Vegas casino where he had worked, according to officials. Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old from Nevada, had driven cross-country over the weekend and then walked into a Midtown Manhattan building, which houses NFL offices, on Monday, where he fatally shot people in the lobby and on the 33rd floor before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. Police have been trying to piece together the events leading up to the shooting, though a motive is still unclear. Tamura had worked in the surveillance department of the Horseshoe Casino, the Associated Press reported. The M4 assault rifle that police said he used in the shooting was purchased from the man who supervised him at the casino, The New York Times reported, citing New York police officials. In a briefing to reporters, police did not say whether the gun sale was illegal. They said the seller was not being charged in New York and was cooperating with law enforcement. According to a CNN report, citing a law enforcement official, Tamura's supervisor also sold him the car that he used to drive to New York. That official said the gun was first purchased by Tamura's boss legally. The Independent has reached out to Caesars Entertainment, which owns the Horseshoe, and the New York City Police Department for comment. Tamura was raised in Santa Clarita, California, where he played high school football. In a note discovered by authorities, Tamura claimed he was suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease linked to former athletes with repeated head trauma. CTE can only be diagnosed after death, with no specific symptoms tied to the disease present while a victim is alive. 'Terry Long football gave me CTE and it caused me to drink a gallon of can't go against the NFL, they'll squash you,' the note reportedly read, in part. Long was a Pittsburgh Steelers player who died by suicide in 2005 after drinking antifreeze. Officials said CTE contributed to his death. Tamura had a 'documented mental health history,' according to officials, and his old teammate, Tobenna Okunna, told The Independent, 'I do remember Shane taking some big hits' on the field.

Dentist who spent 10 days slowly killing his wife by poisoning her morning smoothie is found guilty of murder
A Colorado dentist accused of murder by slowly poisoning his wife's protein shakes over the span of 10 days, has been found guilty of first-degree murder. Jurors reached their decision on Wednesday afternoon after deliberating for less than a day following closing arguments on Tuesday in which the prosecution painted James Craig, 47, as a manipulative husband who devised a scheme to kill his wife, Angela, and make it look like she took her own life. 'Angela Craig was innocent,' prosecutor Michael Mauro said during his closing argument. 'She had no part in her death, and the only person who says otherwise is this man. The person guilty of the ultimate betrayal – her murder.' Angela Craig, a 43-year-old mother of six, died on March 18, 2023, after being hospitalized three times in 10 days for severe headaches, dizziness, and vomiting. An autopsy revealed lethal levels of cyanide and tetrahydrozoline, an ingredient found in over-the-counter eyedrops, in her system. Arsenic was also listed as a contributing factor in her death. Prosecutors accused Craig of poisoning his wife over time, culminating in a fatal dose they say he administered on March 15, 2023, while she was in the hospital. She was declared brain dead shortly afterward. Craig's defense team acknowledged his serial infidelity and dishonesty but argued there was no concrete proof he killed his wife. Defense attorney Lisa Moses cited Angela Craig's old journal entries to suggest she may have died by suicide and questioned the thoroughness of the investigation. 'This case is really about broken people, broken marriage, broken perceptions, broken investigation,' Moses said. During the two-week trial, the prosecution called 48 witnesses and introduced evidence that Craig had ordered cyanide and arsenic online and made internet searches such as 'how to make poison' and 'Top 5 Undetectable Poisons That Show No Signs of Foul Play.' They also argued Craig had attempted to stage a murder-for-hire plot from jail, targeting the case's lead investigator and two inmates, while also soliciting help from his daughter and others to lie and fabricate evidence. Angela's brother-in-law, Mark Pray, testified that he unwittingly gave Angela cyanide-laced pills at Craig's instruction. Moments later, she became weak and unable to stand. Craig did not testify during the trial, and his attorneys did not call any witnesses. In cross-examinations, the defense suggested Angela may have taken the poison herself and argued that investigators had tunnel vision by focusing solely on Craig. Police recovered a document from Craig's phone titled 'timeline,' in which he claimed Angela had asked him to help her die after he sought a divorce. He wrote that he agreed to obtain poisons but not administer them, instead placing cyanide in capsules and preparing a syringe. According to his timeline, Angela ingested the toxins herself before her final collapse. Detective Bobbi Olson, the lead investigator, testified that Craig's version of events shifted frequently and conflicted with statements he made to others. At one point, Craig allegedly accused Angela of trying to frame him. The defense entered Angela's journal into evidence, highlighting years-old entries about the toll of Craig's affairs. But Olson noted the entries ended in 2018 and made no mention of suicide. Angela's sister, Toni Kofoed, pushed back on any suggestion Angela wanted to end her life. 'She had a broken heart,' Kofoed testified. 'But not a broken mind.' Craig now faces a potential life sentence without parole.
