Landlord sues Cowboys’ Trevon Diggs for up to $250K over rent

Trevon Diggs, a star cornerback on the Cowboys, has been sued by a former landlord for a total “up to” $250,000 over unpaid rent and property damage.

WFAA reports that landlord Rose Marie Yadegar sued Diggs in Denton County, Texas, stating that the defensive back entered into a one-year lease in March of 2022 for $5,500 a month. Diggs is accused of only paying the first month on time.

The landlord claimed Diggs owes $33,500 in past due rent plus late fees, $3,400 in repairs, as well as carpet cleaning and lawn maintenance fees.

Diggs was evicted in July but the landlord has not found a new tenant for the property. The landlord is claiming Diggs also owes $2,500 in eviction fees, and $11,000 for the final two months of the lease.

Diggs’ attorney, Scott Becker, told the outlet that the lawsuit came as “a bit of a surprise” to his client.

“This appears to stem from some misunderstanding or miscommunication going on with this rental property that ended sometime last year,” Becker said. 

Becker attributed the circumstances to acquaintances of Diggs, not the cornerback himself.

“He thought this matter was completely resolved,” Becker said. “So, to have this situation arise out of the blue was a bit of a shock to him … We certainly feel badly for her if that’s the case that there’s damage to the property. My client didn’t cause that damage and we look forward to working it out with her … [When you are successful], you become a target for things and that may be happening here.” 

The 24-year-old Diggs was selected by the Cowboys in the second round of the 2020 Draft. He has been a Pro Bowler each of the last two seasons; in 2021, he was a first-team All-Pro and led the NFL with 11 interceptions.

Why Tom Brady’s Fox delay is worth $7 million to Greg Olsen

Greetings, before we get to today’s newsletter, please check out my review of the Super Bowl game broadcast on Fox.

We are calling it the “Brady Bonus.”

Tom Brady’s decision to take a gap year before potentially starting as Fox Sports’ No. 1 game analyst will be worth $7 million for Greg Olsen next season.

If Brady showed up for Fox next fall, Olsen not only would be knocked down to the No. 2 game analyst spot, but his salary would drop from $10 million to $3 million. The $3 million is a livable wage, but the extra $7 million is a significant difference.

Last offseason, Olsen signed his contract after Fox announced Brady would join the network. (The Post subsequently reported that Brady would receive $375 million over 10 years.) Olsen’s contract could be worth $50 million over five years if he remains in the No. 1 booth. It would have fallen to five years and $22 million if Brady started this fall. Now, at worst, Olsen will receive at least $29 million over those five years. Olsen also has an opt-out if he is bumped down and an opportunity to be a lead NFL game analyst for another platform arises.

Derek Jeter stopped by the Super Bowl on Sunday to announce he would be joining his former teammate Alex Rodriguez, and former rival David Ortiz, as an MLB analyst for Fox.
Fox Sports

The biggest part of the Fox Sports Super Bowl pregame was the announcement that Derek Jeter would be joining its MLB pregame show. Though it got a little lost because of the enormity of the Super Bowl, it is a big deal. Alex Rodriguez was one of the folks who presented the news, which was funny considering their frenemy history. Jeter has been gravitating toward doing more media and has had talks with YES about doing games. Jeter didn’t say much as a player, but Jeter is expected to only be on during big events, so it won’t be heavy lifting. He will be able to joke with A-Rod and David Ortiz, so while he probably won’t set the world on fire, he should be OK. … Fox Sports insider Sean Payton had a funny, “Everybody wants to cover sports media” report when he revealed that the new Denver Broncos coach and former Fox Sports analyst interviewed current ESPN analyst Rex Ryan for the Broncos’ defensive coordinator position. Payton worked the Super Bowl pregame on Sunday. … ESPN had Oz Pearlman, “Oz The Mentalist” on “Sunday NFL Countdown.” If it wasn’t staged, it was kind of crazy as he predicted things that would seem impossible to get right without a cheat sheet. … Early in its pregame, Fox Sports used actors to portray the undefeated 1972 Dolphins on the 50th anniversary of their Super Bowl win. It could have been cheesy, but with Larry Csonka narrating, it was quite good. … The big question that will be answered in the next few days is if this year’s Super Bowl will be the highest-rated game in history. It would need to reach 115 million viewers to top the 2015 Pats-Panthers game.

Brian Rolapp, the NFL’s chief media and business officer.
YouTube/Sports Business Journal

We had the NFL’s top business official, who is considered the No. 2 executive in the league after Roger Goodell, Brian Rolapp, on “The Marchand & Ourand Sports Media Podcast,” and he talked about Sunday Ticket becoming more “interactive.” He didn’t detail what that would mean, but I kind of wonder if that may eventually involve fantasy sports or betting. To be clear, this is a bit of speculation on my part. I agree with Rolapp that the main viewing experience will not be focused on gambling. (It also won’t be on fantasy, but Rolapp did not address that in the interview.) The mainstream viewer doesn’t want gambling or fantasy to be the focus — and I’m not sure they ever will. Gamblers know what their bets are on games, while fantasy players know which players they are looking out for. With the unlimited channels available on streaming, bettors will be able to seek out an alternative viewing experience that caters to gambling. For fantasy players, and Rolapp is one, could the NFL and YouTube create a way that you could view your players and your opponent’s players in real time? It seems very feasible with the current technology. … Rolapp made it sound like it will use “Monday Night Football” flex scheduling as sparingly as possible. It will begin next season and I’ve heard it could be put in effect six times, however it likely will be used on much fewer occasions. The idea is to not have really bad games later in the season. For MNF, there is a big difference between moving games later in the same day, like the NFL does for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football,” as compared to switching a matchup to a completely different night. It is also going to put late season trips for fans in flux. If you travel for a 1 p.m. Sunday game and it gets moved to 8:15 p.m. on Monday, that would be two more hotel nights and a change in airfare for fans. …


NFL commissioner Roger Goodell raised the possibility that Amazon could get some flex scheduling for its ‘Thursday Night Football’ schedule, which had its share of unappealing matchups in Year 1.

During his Super Bowl press conference, NFL commissioner Goodell mentioned the possibility of flexible scheduling for Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday night games. The NFL has a vested interest in making Amazon successful. It had a very good first year, but the NFL wants to see it build. Still, I think they will see how MNF goes before lessening the amount of 20-year-old Mazdas Al Michaels has to sell. … Condolences to the family and friends of longtime ESPN producer, Barry Sacks. Sacks passed away from a heart attack at the age of 63 this weekend. An Ithaca College alum and a huge Giants fan, he had a huge influence over ESPN programming and those on-air. Suzy Kolber mentioned during “Sunday NFL Countdown” that when Chris Berman said his trademark “G-Men,” it was an ode to Sacks’ fanhood. A common tribute from broadcasters was how Sacks always said, if you say, “Wow” when viewing a play, then it belongs in the highlight package.

Chiefs’ Harrison Butker overcomes miss to seal Super Bowl 2023 win

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Harrison Butker grew up an Adam Vinatieri fan, and anyone with a firm grasp of the early Patriots dynasty understood that Vinatieri, the kicker, was always one of the toughest players on Bill Belichick’s team. 

So there Butker was in the final seconds of Super Bowl 2023, the score tied and the world waiting to see if he could boot the Kansas City Chiefs to a championship. One of the NFL’s most reliable kickers, Butker had injured his ankle in the season opener in this very building, State Farm Stadium, causing him to miss some games and to tweak his technique. 

“The only reason he had problems [this year] was the high ankle sprain, and that’s rough on a kicker, especially on that front leg,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “And so it was a matter of just getting through that, and the tweaks that that thing presents to you really for the rest of the season from when he was hurt.” 

Overcoming all of that was one thing. Overcoming an early field-goal miss in the Super Bowl is quite another.

But sure enough, on his first field-goal attempt against the Eagles, Butker pulled his 42-yarder and bounced if off the left upright, leaving him to confront an unforgiving truth on the sideline. 

“You’ve got to focus on the next kick, and that’s what I was doing,” Butker said. “You do look at the scoreboard and think, ‘Wow, if I did make that field goal, we’d have three more points.’ But is that going to help me make the next kick? Probably not. You’ve got to get that out of your mind and just focus on the process and the next opportunity you get.” 

And that opportunity came when the Chiefs executed their decisive drive in the final minutes, refusing to take the touchdown that was there and choosing to bleed the clock and try the field goal instead. It was only a 27-yarder, a gimme. But with the Super Bowl on the line, try telling a kicker who had missed an earlier attempt that anything is a gimme with 100 million or so people watching.

Butker handled the pressure like the pro’s pro he is. He nailed the kick, and soon enough the Chiefs were celebrating and the confetti was flying. 

“I didn’t grow up a kicker, but it’s hard not to notice a kicker like Adam Vinatieri,” Butker said. “And as a kicker, that’s how you get noticed — those big kicks and those big moments. It’s just very surreal to be sitting here right now to have won a second Super Bowl in six seasons and to have it come down to a field goal.” 

Why did Butker have the poise to win a Super Bowl in Vinatieri form? 

“Normally the kickers aren’t the toughest guys,” Reid said. “But this one here, he’s a tough nut, man.”

Nick Sirianni had Eagles on brink of Super Bowl 2023 title

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Before kickoff, Nick Sirianni shed more than a few tears.

By the end of the night, it was Andy Reid who had the last laugh.

There is no doubt the Eagles play the way Nick Sirianni coaches. There is an “I don’t give a damn’’ attitude that permeates his team and all of that attitude was needed Sunday night during a wild and tense Super Bowl 2023 battle at State Farm Stadium.

Sirianni, the 41-year old in his second year as a head coach, got his team out of the gate fast but could not get his team across the finish line first. The Eagles dominated the first half but got overrun in the second half, losing 38-35 on a late field goal by Harrison Butker.

As country singer Chris Stapleton was singing the national anthem, Sirianni could be seen getting quite emotional, tears flowing down his cheeks. During the week, Sirianni predicted standing on the sideline before the game would lead to an introspective moment.

“I’ve been dreaming of this since I’ve been 2 years old,’’ Sirianni said afterward. “I was telling the guys some of you have been dreaming about this since you’ve been 2 years old. We’ve all been dreaming of it. Growing up in the family of a football coach, this is what you dream of being in this moment, just emotional in that moment.’’


Nick Sirianni’s aggressive play-calling had the Eagles offense rolling, but his team couldn’t quell the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes-led attack.

The Eagles were dominating the game but not the scoreboard, tied at 14 after Jalen Hurts dropped the ball for a fumble that Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton scooped up and returned 36 yards for a touchdown. On the next Eagles offensive series, Sirianni showed either the aggressiveness or the arrogance that has come to define the sensational start to his NFL head coaching tenure.

The Eagles were on the Kansas City 45-yard line and faced a fourth-and-5. Clearly, they were not in field-goal range and this was not a short-yardage situation. Sirianni certainly could have called for a punt and no one would have questioned his decision. If he opted to go for it on fourth down and failed, he would hand Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs the ball near midfield — not an attractive option.

Sirianni does not think much about failure. He never hesitated at all as he kept his offense on the field. Hurts made his head coach look smart, taking advantage of a gaping hole up the middle to scoot 28 yards to the Chiefs’ 16-yard line.

Three plays later, Sirianni did it again. It was fourth-and-2 on the Kansas City 8-yard line, a chip-shot field goal for Jake Elliott. No chance. Not for Sirianni. He goes for the jugular. The Eagles, the most lethal team in the NFL in converting quarterback sneaks, never had to snap the ball. Defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi was called for a neutral-zone infraction, handing the Eagles a first down. Hurts ran untouched into the end zone from 4 yards out and it was 21-14.

Sirianni was on the ball late in the second quarter, alertly calling his first timeout with 1:33 remaining before halftime before the Chiefs lined up to punt, realizing he should save some time for a final scoring thrust. Sirianni used two more timeouts during the possession, leaving just enough time for Jake Elliott to hammer home a 35-yard field goal for a 24-14 lead at the break.

At the finish, though, Sirianni — a guy who make his reputation as an offensive assistant — did not have the answer on how to prevent the Chiefs from piling on 17 points to take the game.

Bradley Cooper shows Eagles fandom all over Super Bowl 2023

One of the Eagles’ top A-list fans has been an active participant in Super Bowl 2023 against the Kansas City Chiefs. From a Super Bowl commercial to a meme-worthy moment with some nachos, Bradley Cooper has been everywhere.

The 48-year-old is a lifelong Eagles fan, growing up outside Philadelphia in Abington Township. His links to the city don’t stop there. The nine-time Oscar-nominated actor had a lead in “Silver Linings Playbook” — a film set in Philly that features several game-day moments — and he was the voice for an Eagles apology to Santa Claus in an ESPN promo for the infamous snowball-throwing incident.

Cooper has made a number of appearances at Lincoln Financial field over the years, sporting notable fashion pieces including an Allen Iverson shirt and vintage Eagles bomber jacket sitting alongside team owner Jeffrey Lurie.

For the year’s big game, Cooper called up his mom to act opposite him in a T-Mobile commercial, advertising their 5G services. The ad opens with T-Mobile explaining they tried to create a commercial with the mother-son duo, with Cooper as a company rep while his mom plays a customer. The commercial shows the two’s endless laughter as they mess up several takes.

Cooper was also the narrator for Sunday’s game introduction and was the voice behind one of the Eagles’ hype videos.

“We have an obsession around here,” Cooper opens with between flashes of video of the team, Eagles fans, and the city itself. “To stay in the moment. To focus on every single detail. The next minute. The next meeting. The next practice. The next game.”

Cooper is in attendance at State Farm Stadium for the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona, wearing an Eagles shirt. He even fueled up on some pregame nachos to cheer on his hometown team.

“Together, we’ve got one goal: Bring that Lombardi Trophy back home,” he concluded in the hype video.

JuJu Smith-Schuster wears kilt to Super Bowl 2023

JuJu Smith Schuster turned heads when he arrived to Super Bowl 2023.

The Chiefs wide receiver rocked a light green kilt as he strolled into State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday.

Smith-Schuster, who’s known for his eye-popping fashion choices, paired the knee-length skirt with a white collared shirt with long sleeves and black boots. He accessorized with a black hat and sunglasses and carried a black bag.

“This sh-t not for everybody,” the 26-year-old wideout wrote on his Instagram Story, including a photo of his pregame look. He added a graphic that said, “Paris.”

The Chiefs captioned their post: “JuJu on that Super Bowl beat 😮‍💨.”

Meanwhile, Smith-Schuster’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, looked dapper in a patterned suit and mirrored Oakley sunglasses. The two-time NFL MVP joins Tom Brady as the only quarterback all-time to start three Super Bowls in their first six seasons.

Smith-Schuster made a fashionable entrance to play in the first Super Bowl of his career.

The receiver, who signed a one-year $10.75 million max deal with the Chiefs this past offseason, will earn an extra $1 million if Kansas City defeats the Eagles in Super Bowl 2023 and he plays 50 percent of the snaps.

Smith-Schuster finished his first season with the Chiefs with 933 yards and three touchdowns. 

The former Steelers receiver, who’s set to become a free agent in the offseason, told NFL Network’s Mike Giardi on Saturday that he’s hoping to remain in Kansas City.

“Yeah, I want to come back,” Smith-Schuster said. “Of course, man. Look where I’m at? I want to come back to this.”

Eagles and Over is way to go

Richard Witt predicts the winner of Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs:

Eagles -1.5 over Chiefs, Over 50.5

We find it hard to stray too much away from the fundamentals of the Chiefs-Eagles matchup. We’re more comfortable where we stand than we were just a few days ago, but our basic perspective has not radically changed.

Do we respect Patrick Mahomes and the monstrous, versatile Kansas City offense, even against a defense as good as Philadelphia’s? For sure, but to not respect the defensive proposition in a game this significant would be folly, unless multiple significant injuries come into play in short order.

We continue to suspect the offenses will maintain a meaningful edge versus the defenses they’ll be facing. The two worthies you’d expect to garner the bulk of the MVP attention (those top-drawer quarterbacks) continue to draw numerous hearts and eyeballs. It’s a challenge to tear your attention away from Mahomes and the Eagles’ Jalen Hurts.

The four most recent Supes have trended toward more moderate Over/Under ledgers, with the last quartet featuring 43, 40, 51 and 16 points. The last two scoring explosions came when the Eagles made the most of their opportunities and took out the Patriots, 41-33, in the Super Bowl LII overtime hard-knocker.

The Chiefs are blessed with a multiplicity of talented athletes on both sides of the ball. Even more impressively, they displayed an uncanny improvement advantage during the course of the season, though much of that could be attributed to their facing lesser quarterback talent during the final third of the campaign.

We’ll also readily agree that the Chiefs have proven themselves to be effective in varying defensive sets — not the least of which is their broad effectiveness when playing many varieties of zone defense, which has posed the Eagles’ offensive talent sustained difficulties. And when you’re talking about Hurts, you’re talking about a quarterback who has been less than bulletproof when attempting to make optimal throws to his right, causing him considerable discomfort on multiple occasions.

At first glance, I was considerably optimistic and bullish about the Eagles in this affair — especially if they came to the game relatively healthy, with most of the major players in reasonably good form and optimistic about the likely outcome from their sides’ perspective.

I currently believe that I was simply too optimistic about the level of stalwartness of the Eagles’ defense during my early research, especially when you consider the degree of schedule (not all that tough, boys and girls) the Eagles found themselves coming up against during the course of the long, hard season.


Jalen Hurts
AP

Bottom-lining this, I can’t deny that the Eagles could turn out to be excruciatingly vulnerable to the size, type and style of offense that the Chiefs are likely to pitch at them for well over three hours on national television.

I can still envision the Eagles winning, but they’re going to have to get off to that snappy start that many of the optimists expected they will generate. When they have wrested early command, they have been the devil to beat, but when many things don’t quite go precisely as they’d like, they’re not quite the locks to overcome all obstacles we originally envisioned.

Last week: 1-1
Season: 124-118-3.

Brandon Marshall doesn’t want Aaron Rodgers on Jets

PHOENIX — One former Jets wide receiver does not want to see Aaron Rodgers come to New York. 

Brandon Marshall, who set receiving records for the Jets in 2015, said Rodgers would be a short-term fix to a long-term problem. 

“Aaron Rodgers is the best thrower of the football our game has ever seen,” Marshall said at the site of the Super Bowl, where he is doing media work. “This is our opportunity to really get it right and be in position to be contending next year. So, you can go Aaron Rodgers and feel like you’ll get there, right? But what’s going to happen after next year? I feel like a Derek Carr, even a Jimmy [Garoppolo], with that defense, with Elijah Moore used the right way and then Garrett [Wilson], we’re set up for the next five to seven years.” 

Marshall, a six-time Pro Bowler, gave his pecking order for possible Jets QBs. 

“If I was Woody Johnson Marshall, I would go Derek Carr as my 1, Jimmy G as my second option and then Aaron Rodgers as my third option,” Marshall said. 

Marshall said he would also be concerned about how Rodgers would fit the Jets. 

“It’s his age, but also the fit in the locker room,” Marshall said. “Guys are definitely going to respect him, but I just feel like Derek Carr can get you there. Derek Carr is the first one in, last one out. Derek Carr, he meets people where they’re at. The chemistry and continuity is everything. Remember, we tried this before with Brett Favre. We did this, Woody. We did it. We tried this before with Brett Favre. Derek Carr, that’s all we need. We don’t need the best quarterback. We need the right quarterback.”

Marshall also believes time on the bench will help Zach Wilson improve. 

“He’s super talented. He has the moxie,” Marshall said. “He does have the makeup to be successful in that city. But you’re in the big city, you’re in the big leagues. We need it now. You don’t [usually] have time to sit there. Now, you’re going to have 12 months, maybe 24 to earn the trust back of not only the Jets but the other 31 teams and organizations. What are you going to do?”

49ers star Fred Warner’s wife reveals ‘NFL secrets’

Even NFL WAGs have to pay for their own tickets to games.

Sydney Warner, the wife of 49ers Pro Bowl linebacker Fred Warner, took to TikTok over the weekend to share “NFL secrets” that left some fans shook.

“Get ready with me while I tell you guys some surprising things about the NFL that I didn’t know before meeting my husband,” Sydney said. “These are all things that are specific to our team, our organization, our city and our situation.”

Sydney — a former contestant on Season 24 of “The Bachelor,” before tying the knot with Warner in June 2022 — started off by saying she was surprised by how NFL players are paid.

“They get a paycheck just like every other normal job, just like everyone else,” Sydney said, joking that she thought a Brinks truck delivered a lump sum of cash to their home. In 2021, Warner agreed to a five-year extension with the 49ers, worth more than $95 million.

As for the night before games?

“You’re not allowed to spend the night with your significant other on away games or home games,” Sydney said. “For away games they are obviously in a hotel, but if I choose to go to the same hotel, we’re not allowed to be in the same room and then home games they also sleep in a hotel.”

San Fransisco 49ers players also have to be in bed by 10:30 p.m. on the night before games and they have a “bed check” so that the team can “control the environment” before games.

Yes, WAGs are required to pay for their tickets. They also need permission from the team to go on the field before the game and snap cute couple photos that Sydney and Olivia Culpo have done many times before.

“All your tickets to games, home and away, aren’t free,” Sydney said. “They are at a discounted rate, but they’re not free.

“… You have to ask for those passes and if you get cleared you get one, you don’t just get them every game. You have to ask and be approved.”

Levi’s Stadium provides daycare for women with babies, according to Sydney, who said “you have drop them off before the game starts and you pick them up in the fourth quarter.”

Sydney waits about an hour for Warner after each game until he’s done showering, doing media and speaking with his coaches and teammates. Then when they get home, Warner will watch film for hours.

In a second video, Sydney explained that the NFL prepares players’ families for the transition to the league, including meetings on money management.

The 49ers supply Super Bowl tickets to the team even if they don’t make it to the big game.

“If you don’t make it, like we didn’t make it, you get to resell them,” Sydney said, adding that the seats are located in the “nosebleeds.”

Ex-NFL star Vontae Davis arrested for DUI after alleged crash

Former NFL cornerback Vontae Davis was arrested Saturday by the Florida Highway Patrol and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to Broward County arrest records.

Davis had a bond amount listed at $500, per the record.

Though there’s only one DUI charge listed, Fox Sports 640’s Andy Slater reported Sunday morning that Davis “allegedly crashed into a disabled car on the side of the highway, which then hit a person next to it.” Officers then allegedly found Davis sleeping, and when they asked why he was sleeping on the shoulder, Davis replied, “I was tired.”

Slater, citing anonymous sources, reported that Davis claimed he was driving home from a club, where he had two mixed drinks. The person Davis allegedly struck was taken to a hospital with “multiple injuries,” according to Slater.

Davis, a former first-round pick of the Dolphins in 2009, spent his first three seasons in Miami before a 2012 trade sent him to the Colts. He proceeded to spend the bulk of his remaining career with Indianapolis, though he made a brief — and controversial — cameo with the Bills in 2018 by signing as a free agent in the offseason, but then retiring at halftime of the season opener.

“This isn’t how I pictured retiring from the NFL,” he wrote in a statement published on the NFL’s Twitter account the next day. “But today on the field, reality hit me and hard. I shouldn’t be out there anymore.”

Davis was selected to consecutive Pro Bowls in 2014 and ’15, a pair of seasons when he combined for eight interceptions, 34 passes defended, and two forced fumbles. He’s the brother of former star tight end Vernon Davis.
