Josh Conerly Jr. got a prank call, too
To those who ask, 'wHy aREn'T yOu TaLKinG aBoUt oThER pLaYeRs wHo wERe pRaNk CaLleD?' We have, and we will.
Commanders first-rounder Josh Conerly Jr., the 29th overall pick in round one, told 106.7 the Fan on Tuesday that he was on the wrong end of a Jerky Boys skit during the first night of the draft,
'I got one prank call,' Conerly said. 'It was somebody in Colorado acting like they were the Broncos. Mine wasn't as bad and as cruel as some of the other ones.'
The Shedeur Sanders prank call has gotten the most attention, because Sanders has gotten more attention than any other player in the draft — and because the prank call happened when Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich allowed his son to see Sanders's number on an 'open iPad.'
Colts tight end Tyler Warren also received a prank call, as did another player who was called roughly 30 minutes after he was drafted. He was told he'd been traded.
While the Sanders prank traced to a team, other players could be pranked by folks who already have their numbers. That's why the best alternative could be to ditch phone calls and use FaceTime.

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Dominating 'Imaginary Football' in June
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Dominating 'Imaginary Football' in June originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the calendar flipped to June exactly one week ago, there are many in and around the Cleveland Browns who have already crowned fifth-round draft pick Shedeur Sanders as the starter in Week 1. Advertisement There's just one problem. ... He doesn't appear ready, yet. While Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and fellow rookie draft pick, Dillon Gabriel, stockpile OTA reps with the first teamers, Sanders is playing with everyone else. That would indicate his current place on the depth chart is fourth out of four. Jason McIntyre, co-host of The Herd with Colin Cowherd is trying to bring some reality to the situation and spoke up on Thursday, even as Colin was on vacation. "And the Shedeur Sanders drama continues. Folks, listen. You never want to overreact to ... can we call it imaginary football in June? They're not playing with real effort. It's basic stuff. And the division that we're seeing is massive. What you see people saying about Sanders, you would think he's ready to start Week 1. You see former NFL quarterbacks on social media breaking down every pass. ... You see Colin Cowherd, who's not even on this continent, but is checking in on Shedeur Sanders' OTAs. Despite all the hype for Shedeur, he's the only quarterback on the Browns who wasn't playing with the [first team]," McIntyre said. Advertisement "You guys need to go do some more homework before you crowns Shedeur Sanders. ... The guy's got 'Be Legendary' as his motto. He's throwing really lavish NFL Draft parties. And he's fourth on the depth chart, decidedly." None of this bodes well for Sanders as the starting quarterback in Week 1, or at anytime this season for the Browns. Coach Kevin Stefanski is known as somewhat of a quarterback whisperer. If he can't find a spot for Sanders in the top three positions in the quarterback room, no one can.

Browns, Joe Milton III Paired in Wacky Trade Proposal
Browns, Joe Milton III Paired in Wacky Trade Proposal originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Cleveland Browns have had enough conversations about the quarterback position for one offseason. Between signing Joe Flacco, trading for Kenny Pickett, and drafting two rookies, Cleveland has added more volume than talent to the quarterback room. The Browns left the 2024 season with the conference's worst quarterback play and will enter 2025 in a similar spot. Advertisement The best path forward is unclear, but it is likely to reveal itself in the coming months. Flacco, with over a decade of starting experience, makes sense as the frontrunner. Dillon Gabriel, the first of two quarterbacks drafted by the Browns, may have the backing of the coaching staff. Shedeur Sanders, who's more talented but slipped due to pre-draft concerns, could make the case for playing time, too. The answer to Cleveland's long-term quarterback issue might not be on the roster, but it is abundantly clear that there is little use in adding another passer to this mess. Yet, the Browns were paired with freakish quarterback Joe Milton III in a wacky trade proposal that sent Sanders to the Dallas Cowboys. The proposal coincided with speculation about acquiring Anthony Richardson as he stumbled his way into his third season with the Indianapolis Colts. 'But rather than take on the remaining two years of Richardson's four-year, $34 million contract, for a player who has played just 15 games in two seasons, winning eight, it may make more sense to flip Sanders for the high-upside Milton whose contract pays him just $3.2 million over the next three years,' Jonathan Vankin wrote. Advertisement 'Or — make another trade with Sanders and give up a Day Three draft asset for Milton.' Simply put, adding another unproven starter to the gaggle Cleveland has amassed already doesn't solve the issue. Milton spent his college career as a non-prospect, flashed just enough to be a sixth-round pick, and played meaningful snaps in a single game against the Buffalo Bills' B-Team. He'd be the most-talented passer in the room, sure, but if the Browns were looking for an unpolished gunslinger, they could have drafted one. Instead, they passed on the opportunity to trade for Milton and took two passers with more valuable picks. For better or worse, Cleveland is set to sleep in the bed it made earlier in the offseason. Further, there's little evidence to suggest that the Cowboys want to deal Milton. If his mobility creates a path for him to see sporadic time in a one-off package, he'd be a priority over Sanders. Dallas passed on Sanders – and the attention he'd bring – three times. Advertisement The Browns aren't in a position to waste draft capital on another backup-level quarterback, and the Cowboys can't afford to go into the season with a backup they don't trust. As uninspiring as it may be, Cleveland's quarterback room is probably set.

Diddy's ex, 'Jane,' is now his 2nd accuser to describe being sex-trafficked by violence
"Is this coercion?" Combs' ex said he asked her after leaving her covered with bruises last June. Combs' 2nd sex-trafficking accuser, "Jane" told a jury he then forced her to have sex with an escort. "Take this fucking pill," she said he demanded. "You're not going to ruin my fucking night." Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex told a federal jury Monday that the mogul once covered her face in bruises before posing a taunting question: "Is this coercion?" The rap mogul then demanded she put on makeup, pop an ecstasy pill, and have sex with a male escort, the woman, "Jane," testified, describing a June 2024 dinner date at her Los Angeles home. "Take this fucking pill. You're not going to ruin my fucking night," Jane, who is testifying under a pseudonym, said Combs demanded as she screamed, "I don't want to! I don't want to!" Through this harrowing testimony, Jane became the second of Combs' ex-girlfriends, after R&B star Cassie Ventura, to take the stand at his Manhattan trial and describe being sex trafficked through coercive violence. "He just looked at me, right in my face," from an inch away, his voice "forceful," Jane said, when lead prosecutor Maurene Comey asked her to describe how Combs appeared and sounded when he asked her, "Is this coercion?" It was the third day of testimony for Jane, who described herself as an OnlyFans lingerie model and the single mother of a child fathered by one of Combs' rap world rivals. She dated Combs between 2021 and 2024. Jane told the jury Monday that while she took the ecstasy pill on that violent night, she did not answer Combs' question about coercion. Instead, only three months later, federal prosecutors would answer the question for her. Combs would be indicted in September 2024 on racketeering and sex trafficking. Both Ventura and Jane were sex trafficked by means of Combs' false promises, violence, and coercion, according to the indictment. The legal definition of coercion includes any scheme or pattern that causes someone to fear serious harm. Defense lawyers argue that there was no coercion because the sex was consensual. They say that this is borne out by years of texts and emails in which Ventura and Jane display enthusiasm for these drug-fueled nights of sex with as many as three men, plus Combs himself. The racketeering allegations against Combs include bribery and witness tampering, and here Jane's testimony from Monday could also help prosecutors. Jane told the jury that in the days after Ventura filed her explosive November 2023 lawsuit, Combs threatened to send her sex tapes to the father of her child, offered her cash, and pleaded, "I need your friendship." "Charge me. Charge me, so we can just move on," Jane testified that a desperate-sounding Combs told her during a FaceTime call. "He was wanting me to come up with some sort of number," Jane told the jury, describing what she called a rejected offer to pay for her silence. The Ventura lawsuit quickly upended Combs' life and his multimillion-dollar music and lifestyle empire. In it, Ventura accused Combs of forcing her to have sex with male escorts while he watched, masturbated, and filmed. These so-called "freak off" performances involved heavy drug use and lasted for days, Ventura said in the suit, previewing her own testimony at the start of the trial. The lawsuit, which settled the next day for $20 million, was the catalyst for dozens of similar lawsuits and for the indictment itself. "I just reacted, like, I can't believe I'm reading my own story," Jane told the jury Monday, tearfully describing her reaction to reading Ventura's lawsuit for the first time. "I almost fainted," she told the jury. "In fact, I think I did." Combs' reaction to the lawsuit was more extreme than Jane's own, veering, in her description to the jury, from anger to accusation to fear. Before Ventura's lawsuit, Combs would react with scolding denials when she told him she wanted to stop what she called "hotel nights" and to enjoy romantic dinners and trips instead. "You're tripping," he would tell her, according to the texts shown in court. "Please, woman," and "You're fucking crazy," he'd tell her. "So, we're breaking up?" he'd threaten. But in the days after the Ventura lawsuit, Jane couldn't bring up "hotel nights" without Combs asking if she was out to get him. "You trying to set me up?" he asked her in one November 2024 phone call that was recorded by Combs, later recovered from the phone of his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, and played Monday for the jury. "You recording my phone calls?" he demanded. Jane testified she was not — and that she had no idea that Combs was the one making a recording. In one of two recorded calls, Combs attempted to spin their nights together as "Just some kinky shit that I thought that we, you know, we both enjoyed." When Jane answers, "I just want you to know that's not how I saw things," Combs asks again, "Are you recording me?" Jane's cross-examination is set to begin on Tuesday and may last through Thursday.
