Prayers Up for Victims After NFL Headquarter Shooting in NYC
Roger Goodell and the entire NFL community are receiving an outpouring of support following a deadly shooting that shook the league’s headquarters in New York City. Goodell, 66, has led the NFL since 2006 and remains one of the most prominent figures in American sports. But on Monday night, his workplace became the focus of a horrifying incident. A man opened fire in a major office building at 345 Park Avenue. And the same building houses the NFL’s main offices. Tragically, four people were killed, and the shooter ultimately took his own life. Authorities later identified the gunman as a former high school football player who reportedly blamed the NFL for long-term effects of CTE, a brain condition linked to repeated head trauma in contact sports. “He did have a note on him,” said NYC Mayor Eric Adams on CBS Mornings. “The note alluded to the fact that he felt he had CTE and blamed the NFL for his injury.” Goodell’s Office Believed to Be the Target According to reports, the shooter intended to reach the NFL’s floor. But took the wrong elevator and ended up at a different office: Rudin Management, where the fatal shootings occurred. One longtime NFL employee, Craig Clementi, was also injured. Clementi, who works in the league’s finance department, was struck in the back by what may have been a ricocheting bullet. Despite being wounded, Clementi showed incredible courage, calling fellow employees to warn them and urge evacuation as he was rushed to the hospital. NFL insider Dianna Russini reported that Goodell later confirmed Clementi was in stable condition and praised his bravery. The NFL community is now grieving alongside the families of the victims. And many are sending prayers for Roger Goodell, the league’s employees, and everyone affected by the tragic attack. Though it’s unclear if Goodell was in the building during the incident, the emotional toll of this attempted attack on his workplace is undeniable. Our thoughts remain with the victims and their families. May they rest in peace. Read More: Class Act From Patrick Mahomes: ‘Prayers Up, Man’
Jordan’s NASCAR Future in Jeopardy as Charter War Escalates
Jordan’s NASCAR Future in Crisis Over Charter Drama Michael Jordan isn’t used to playing from behind. But in NASCAR, that’s exactly where he and co-owner Denny Hamlin now find themselves. Their team, 23XI Racing, is locked in a legal battle with NASCAR over its highly controversial charter system. And the fallout could shake the very foundation of team ownership in the sport. Back in October 2024, 23XI and Front Row Motorsports (FRM) filed a bold antitrust lawsuit against NASCAR. The claim is that the charter system, introduced in 2016, acts like a monopoly, especially with its clause preventing legal action from teams that sign the new 2025 charter deal. Of the 15 teams, only 23XI and FRM refused to sign, setting off a courtroom clash that has grown more intense by the month. The lawsuit initially gave the teams a win: a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that let them keep their charters temporarily and even acquire two from the now-defunct Stewart-Haas Racing. That meant guaranteed race entries and millions in TV revenue. But in June 2025, the tide turned. NASCAR Charters Court Verdict The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals revoked all six charters held by 23XI and FRM. Without those, they’re now “open” teams, forced to qualify weekly and risking major financial losses. Charters, valued in the tens of millions, provide more than just race access, they unlock sponsor deals and long-term team value. Hamlin has warned publicly that the loss could drive sponsors and drivers away. FRM echoed those fears, saying their entire business is now on the line. Even with top-tier talent like Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace, the future is murky without the safety net that charters provide. NASCAR isn’t standing down. In a fiery countersuit, it accused 23XI and FRM of acting like a “cartel,” trying to reap the rewards of the charter system while suing to change it. NASCAR also took aim at Jordan’s longtime business manager Curtis Polk, accusing him of forming an alliance to pressure the league and threatening to boycott races. The trial is set for December 1, 2025, but key decisions will come sooner. A judge will rule in August on whether NASCAR can resell the disputed charters before the trial starts. Meanwhile, NASCAR has eased its rules to allow up to six open teams to qualify via owner points, offering a temporary lifeline for Jordan’s crew. Read More: The 10 Most Tragic NASCAR Accidents We’ll Never Forget Will 23XI Lose Sponsors Without Charters? Fans have been debating this exact question online—and the reaction has been surprisingly optimistic. On Reddit, one fan argued, “If anyone lost a sponsor, it wouldn’t be because they’re an open team.” They pointed to Jordan’s unmatched global brand, suggesting it shields 23XI from typical fallout. Another wrote, “Very unlikely. Monster, McDonald’s, Columbia, they’re not going anywhere.” The belief is that these big sponsors are aligned more with the drivers and the Jordan brand than with technical team status. Some fans pushed back on legal warnings that top talent might bolt. “Reddick isn’t leaving mid-season,” one fan said, noting 23XI’s elite equipment and steady performance. Even past sponsor exits, like MoneyLion, aren’t raising red flags. Fans say their departure predated the legal feud and isn’t a sign of wider trouble. Ultimately, most agree that 23XI’s identity — driven by Jordan, Hamlin, and a winning culture — is what sponsors are buying into. So long as they continue to perform and qualify, the charter loss may not be as devastating as some fear. And with Wallace’s recent Brickyard 400 win, the team is proving it can still shine under pressure. Final Lap: Stakes Are Sky-High This fight isn’t just about Jordan’s team, it’s about the entire future of NASCAR ownership. If 23XI and FRM win, NASCAR could be forced to open its system and share more power with teams. If NASCAR wins, the charter system’s grip will only tighten. One thing’s certain: the road to December will be anything but smooth. Read More: These 15 NASCAR Drivers Are Dominating the Track Right Now

Tom Brady’s Subtle Jab at Ex-Wife Sparks a ‘Great Parent’ Debate
Tom Brady Reflects on Fatherhood In a recent newsletter to fans, Tom Brady appeared to subtly address his highly publicized split from Gisele Bündchen, suggesting that his dedication to football was part of being a committed parent, not a neglectful one. Brady wrote, “I think part of being a great father is being a great example of doing what it takes to take care of your family. I chose to do it by playing football.” The statement sparked speculation that he may have been addressing past criticisms from Bündchen, who had urged the former NFL star to retire out of concern for his health and to spend more time with their family. A Message Rooted in Football and Family Brady and Bündchen divorced in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. At the time, reports suggested that Brady’s decision to return to the NFL after a short retirement contributed to tensions at home. Bündchen publicly expressed concern about his safety and the lack of family time. Now, Brady seems to be offering his perspective: “Reading bedtime stories and helping them with homework are not the only ways to be a great parent. And neither is winning Super Bowls or MVPs.” He added that showing up every day, staying committed, and providing through hard work were his way of setting an example for his children.

Nobody is,” he said. “But if you stay committed to your goals… then you can be confident that you are living a life of integrity and purpose.” The NFL legend also touched on the backlash from his controversial Netflix roast, which included jokes about his divorce. Brady later admitted it impacted his children more than expected, calling it a personal “[expletive] up” as a father. Since their separation, Bündchen has moved forward with her new partner Joaquim Valente, welcoming a child with him earlier this year. Meanwhile, Brady continues to publicly reflect on his role as a father, partner, and public figure. Whether his recent comments were a jab or just an honest reflection. They’ve reignited conversations about what it really means to be a “great parent.” And how co-parenting can carry different definitions for different people.
