Chandler Jones was arrested in Las Vegas on Friday morning, a day after the Raiders star’s bizarre social media allegations and behavior. Jones was booked into Clark County Detention Center on charges of violating a domestic violence protective order. On Thursday, the Super Bowl champion took to social media, crying in a livestream and baselessly implicating Raiders coach Josh McDaniels — the former Patriots offensive coordinator — in the death of Jones’ ex-New England teammate Aaron Hernandez. Hernandez took his own life in prison on Apr. 19, 2017. The accusation came after he tweeted he was forced into a mental...

Aaron Rodgers to Vegas? I can dig it. Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams is waiting to see who his quarterback will be in 2023, and he suggested on Twitter that that quarterback could be Aaron Rodgers — and they could be living in the same neighborhood as well. Adams was taking questions on Twitter when one user asked, “Which neighborhood is @AaronRodgers12 moving to?” referencing the rumors that Rodgers could soon be in Sin City. And Adams didn’t do anything but add fuel to the fire with a simple response. “Mine.” This would make complete sense for the...

Tell that to Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback. Rodgers tried to execute a play-action vax, and now he's in major trouble for his incomplete vax. According to veteran NFL reporter Ian Rapoport, Rodgers "received homeopathic treatment from his personal doctor to raise his antibody levels and asked the NFL to review his status.
