NFL suspends Vikings' Jordan Addison three games after DUI case
The NFL has suspended Jordan Addison three games after he violated the league's substance abuse policy, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Vikings' wide receiver pleaded guilty to a 'wet reckless' last month, taking a lesser charge in a DUI case from last July after being found 'asleep behind the wheel' near Los Angeles International Airport. He was determined to have a blood-alcohol content higher than the legal limit of .08 percent. Advertisement Addison was placed on 12 months of probation and forced to pay a $390 fine and complete two online courses. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (3) takes part in drills during an NFL football team practice Wednesday, May 28, 2025, in Eagan, Minn. AP 'While Mr. Addison's case would have made for a great trial, I admire him for taking responsibility by accepting the city attorney's 'wet reckless' offer,' Addison's attorney, Jacqueline Sparagna, said in a statement after the wide receiver entered the plea deal. 'Now he can put this incident behind him and solely focus on his promising career.' Advertisement The third-year pass-catcher will miss the Vikings' first three games, a road game against the Bears in Chicago and home games in Minnesota against the Falcons and Bengals. Wide receiver Jordan Addison #3 of the Minnesota Vikings warms up prior to an NFC Wild Card game against the Los Angeles Rams, at State Farm Stadium on January 13, 2025 in Glendale, Arizona. Getty Images Addison will still be eligible to take part in training camp activities and play in the Vikings' preseason games without restrictions, per Schefter. Shortly after his arrest, Addison admitted that he was in a 'dark place' after the incident, and would 'stand tall' through 'whatever disciplinary actions that come [his] way.' Advertisement In July 2023, Addison was cited for driving 140 mph on I-94 in Minnesota. Since being drafted No. 23 overall by Minnesota in 2023, Addison has 133 catches for 1,786 yards with 19 touchdowns over two seasons for the Vikings.

Watch: Rams stars hilariously call key plays from 2024 season
The Los Angeles Rams had a lot of huge moments from the 2024 season. One of the biggest was Jared Verse's fumble recovery for a touchdown in the NFC Wild Card win over the Minnesota Vikings, which set the tone for the 27-9 win. So to relive that moment, ESPN LA gave a few Rams players the microphone to put their own spin on the broadcast. Verse himself had some funny comments about his own play, while others like Braden Fiske and Steve Avila also tried out commentating. Earlier this past season, running back Kyren Williams flipped into the endzone for a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 3 win. Puka Nacua and Matthew Stafford had the chance to put on their announcer voice to remember that play, too. Take a watch: Subjectivity aside, Verse has a knack for the theatrics of the broadcast booth. His enthusiasm and excitement for the game oozed out of his voice, and he knows how to make the most of any moment with a microphone.

Former Jets head coach Todd Bowles earns extension from Buccaneers
Former New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles did not enjoy a fruitful stint with the franchise. The current Tampa Bay Buccaneers head honcho was in charge of the Jets for four seasons (2015-18). After a dreamlike 10-6 debut campaign, Bowles never managed to repeat that success. He compiled a lackluster overall record of 24-40 in East Rutherford and was fired at the end of 2018. Bowles then became the Buccaneers' defensive coordinator and won Super Bowl LV in that role. Bowles was promoted to the lead job in 2022 following Bruce Arians' retirement. He's been significantly more successful at his latest stop. On Thursday, he and general manager Jason Licht signed multi-year contract extensions with the Bucs. The Buccaneers have captured three consecutive NFC South division titles under Bowles' tutelage. In 2024, Bowles arguably enjoyed his best season yet, leading the Bucs to a 10-7 season, their first double-digit win campaign on his watch. The one caveat is the Buccaneers are 0-3 in the postseason under Bowles. This past season, they were upset at home by the Washington Commanders in an NFC Wild Card game. If Bowles wants to see out the entire terms of his new contract, he'll have to win a playoff game at some point. Either way, Bowles left the Jets and found head coaching success.
