Sean Payton: Darren Rizzi was 'very serious candidate' for Saints coach job
Sean Payton: Darren Rizzi was 'very serious candidate' for Saints coach job The New Orleans Saints had a tough decision to make in the 2025 offseason before free agency even began, in hiring their new head coach. They ultimately came down to the selection of Kellen Moore, foregoing interim head coach Darren Rizzi as well as other candidates Anthony Weaver and Mike Kafka. However, the viability of Rizzi was high for the opening, and former Saints head coach Sean Payton believes Rizzi was an extremely strong contender for the job. As shared by Luke Johnson, Payton expressed confidence in Rizzi's viability as a candidate for the Saints' head coach opening. "With respect to the process, he was a very serious candidate (in New Orleans) and I think will be a head coach in our league as well,' Payton added, speaking with the media at the NFL Scouting Combine this week. This makes sense given the two worked together for many seasons and are once again on the same staff for the 2025 season, but it also provides some intriguing clarity into the Saints' selection of Moore over the others. With Alvin Kamara having previously voiced his support of Rizzi for the head coaching spot, it makes sense that maybe some players believed he was a strong option. Ultimately, New Orleans chose otherwise, going with a non-Sean Payton route and allowing Moore to fully set up his new coaching staff. It will be very interesting to see if Rizzi gets another shot elsewhere during the 2026 offseason or beyond.

Police: Olyphant woman assaults officers, hospital staff
OLYPHANT — An Olyphant woman assaulted police officers and hospital staff as they were trying to assist her into a hospital bed, according to a criminal complaint. Michelle Rizzi, 41, of 420 Lackawanna Ave., is accused of breaking into a neighbor's apartment, tipping over a refrigerator and throwing around dishes and other items before being transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital, Dickson City, for a bump on her head. She faces felony charges of aggravated assault and criminal trespass. According to the criminal complaint: At about 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 24, police responded to the apartment building on a report of a woman who broke into a neighbor's apartment. When officers arrived, they found Rizzi shouting and being disorderly in the hallway outside the apartments. Officers spoke with Jason Altemose who said Rizzi broke into his apartment because she believed he stole a package from her several days earlier. Officers noted a tipped refrigerator, broken plates and a broken door in Altemose's apartment. Altemose said the two had been friends until the argument over the package. Police put Rizzi in handcuffs and attempted to escort her from the building, but she resisted by twisting her body and raising her legs. When an officer asked if she had taken any medications that might be causing her behavior, she said, 'You did not vote for Trump,' and followed with an expletive. While Rizzi was at the Dickson City police station, officers noted she had a bump on her head and transported her to the Lehigh Valley Hospital, where she continued screaming obscenities. Rizzi was placed in a hospital bed without restraints because she appeared to have calmed down. About 30 minutes later, she got up and tried to leave the room. She was then placed in handcuffs and restrained to the hospital bed. While restrained, she used her legs to kick and scratch police officer Clayton Devoe, causing his hand to bleed. She also assaulted hospital staff, according to the criminal complaint. She is remains at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $25,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. on March 10 before District Judge Paul Ware.

2 people are dead in a small plane collision at a southern Arizona airport
A midair collision involving two small planes in southern Arizona killed two people Wednesday morning, authorities said. Federal air-safety investigators said each plane had two people aboard when they collided at Marana Regional Airport on the outskirts of Tucson. One plane landed uneventfully and the other hit the ground near a runway and caught fire, said the National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation and cited preliminary information before its investigators had arrived. The Marana Police Department confirmed that the two people killed were aboard one aircraft and said responders did not have a chance to provide medical treatment. Sgt. Vincent Rizzi said the two people on the other plane were uninjured. The municipal fire department helped extinguish flames, Rizzi said. Neither the Lancair nor the Cessna 172 was based out of the airport, according to a statement from the town of Marana. The collision came more than a week after a plane crash in Scottsdale killed one of two pilots of a private jet owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil. That aircraft veered off a runway and hit a business jet. It also followed four major aviation disasters that have occurred in North America in the last month. The most recent involved a Delta jet that flipped on its roof while landing in Toronto and the deadly crash of a commuter plane in Alaska. In late January, 67 people were killed in a midair collision in Washington, D.C., involving an American Airlines passenger jet and an Army helicopter, marking the United States' deadliest aviation disaster since 2001. Just a day later, a medical transport jet with a child patient, her mother and four others aboard crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood on Jan. 31, exploding in a fireball that engulfed several homes. That crash killed seven people, including all those aboard, and injured 19 others. The airport in Marana has two intersecting runways and operates without an air traffic control tower. A multimillion-dollar project was underway to build a tower but delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic pushed back construction. Tens of thousands of flights arrive and depart from the airport annually. Most airports in the U.S. do not have air traffic control towers, only those with commercial traffic coming in. At those airspaces, pilots use a designated radio channel to announce intentions for landing and taking off, said Jeff Guzzetti, an airline safety consultant and a former Federal Aviation Administration and NTSB investigator. Just because an airport doesn't have a control tower doesn't mean it's unsafe, he said. 'All the pilots should be broadcasting on this common traffic advisory frequency. And there's also a responsibility to see and avoid. Each pilot is responsible to see and avoid so they don't collide with each other,' Guzzetti said. ___ This story has been corrected to reflect that 67 people total were killed in the Washington, D.C., collision, rather than 67 people aboard the American Airlines jet. —- Lee reported from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Govindarao reported from Phoenix.

At least 2 dead from 'aircraft collision' near Marana Regional Airport
At least two persons are dead from a midair collision involving two planes Wednesday morning at the Marana Regional Airport northwest of Tucson, according to Marana police. "Two confirmed dead and both planes were smaller fixed wing single engine planes," the Marana Police Department posted on X. Rizzi also confirmed two small fixed wing aircraft were involved in the collision. The airport is closed and landing aircraft are being diverted to other airports, Vincent Rizzi, a Marana Police Department sergeant, said at the scene. The Marana Regional Airport is located in a rural area surrounded by farm fields and desert brush. The Northwest Fire District responded to the scene, Rizzi said. Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are expected to arrive later Wednesday to help with the investigation, Rizzi said. Photos posted on X by KGUN9 reporter Blake Phillips show a plume of black smoke from the site of the collision near the airport. The collision in Marana is the latest in a sting of incidents involving aircraft, including one on Feb. 10 at the Scottsdale Airport where a smaller Learjet 35A owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil crashed into a larger Gulfstream aircraft, killing the pilot of the Learjet. On Monday, Feb. 17, a Delta Air Lines regional jet flipped upside down while landing at Canada's Toronto Pearson Airport, officials said Eighteen of the 80 people on board were injured. On Jan. 29, an American Airlines regional jet carrying 64 people and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying three people collided near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. Sixty-seven people were killed. A small medical jet carrying a child patient crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood on Jan. 31 killing seven people while a small plane carrying 10 people crashed in Alaska on Feb. 6, killing all 10 prior to the Scottsdale plane crash. On Nov. 4, a business jet crashed into a vehicle near Falcon Field Airport in Mesa, killing five people, including four people on the plane and the driver of the vehicle. Reporter Perry Vandell contributed. This story is breaking and will be updated. This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Aircraft collision near Marana Regional Airport kills at least 2
