Detroit Lions suffer major blow as defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is ruled out for entire 2025 NFL season
Detroit Lions training camp opened with terrible news for the reigning NFC North champions as defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike was ruled out for the 2025 season following ACL surgery. The procedure took place earlier in the offseason, and while Onwuzurike was already added to the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list entering training camp, Sunday's announcement proved to be the final word on his season. 'Levi's surgery was significant, but it needed to be done,' Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday, as quoted by ESPN. 'Out of his control, but needed to be done, so he will miss the season.' The injury complicates an already difficult situation along the Lions' defensive line, where Pro Bowler Aidan Hutchinson is returning from a fractured tibia and fibula. The second-overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has been cleared to return to football activities. Unfortunately for Detroit, defensive tackles Alim McNeill and Mekhi Wingo were also placed on the active/PUP list, which means rookie first-round pick Tyleik Williams could be forced into early starting duty for newly promoted Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard. Standing 6-foot-3 and 334 pounds, Williams started 13 games for Ohio State en route to a NCAA title in 2024-25. The Buckeyes star finished his final college season with 46 tackles, including eight for a loss. And the Lions' injury issues extend beyond the defensive line. Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez is starting training camp on PUP after tearing his ACL during the 2024 season, while cornerback Khalil Dorsey was also added to the list for an undisclosed injury. On the offensive side the ball, where the Lions already lost free-agent guard Kevin Zeitler to the Tennessee Titans, Detroit added left tackle Taylor Decker and guard Miles Frazier to the PUP list. Fortunately, Campbell expects Decker to return before Detroit faces the Los Angeles Chargers at the Hall of Fame preseason game in Canton, Ohio on July 31. 'He's good. He just cleaned out the shoulder a little bit, and we're going to work him back when he's ready to go get the strength back,' Campbell said. 'But he's in a good place.' The Lions were considered to be a Super Bowl contender in 2024 before the upstart Washington Commanders upset Detroit in the Divisional Round of the NFC Playoffs. Detroit's offense ranked first in scoring and second in yardage, but while the defense limited opponents to fewer points than all but six NFL teams, the unit ranked only 20th in yards allowed. The Lions predominantly struggled against the pass, allowing more yards through the air than all but two other NFL teams while struggling to compensate for the loss of Hutchinson. To help the secondary, Detroit added former New York Jets cornerback D.J. Reed.

Astros, Mariners send out All-Star pitchers in AL West battle
July 20 - Games just mean more after the All-Star break. After losing Friday night in the opener of a three-game series in Seattle, the Houston Astros altered their pitching rotation to send All-Star Hunter Brown (9-4, 2.43 ERA) to the mound Sunday afternoon. On Saturday, the Mariners announced they'd start their own All-Star right-hander, Bryan Woo (8-4, 2.75), as they go for a sweep of the American League West-leading Astros. Houston's division lead is down to three games after Seattle rookie Cole Young singled with one out in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Mariners a 7-6 victory Saturday. It was the fifth consecutive victory for the Mariners and Houston's seventh loss in eight games. "What a ballgame," Mariners manager Dan Wilson said. "Not sure where to start or where to finish, but just a heck of a ballgame. First and foremost, I think you talk about the fight that's in that clubhouse. We talk about it a lot, and tonight it showed up again." The Mariners tied the score in the bottom of the 10th off Astros closer Josh Hader on one of the flukiest plays of the season. With Cal Raleigh at third base, Hader threw a high, inside fastball to Dylan Moore. The pitch went off the knob of Moore's bat and dribbled toward the mound as Moore began hopping around like he was hit by the pitch. Raleigh alertly raced home as the umpires signaled the ball was in play. Astros manager Joe Espada asked for a video review, but it confirmed the call. "You definitely heard contact with something there, and it just sounded like it hit something solid," Wilson said. "But you know, until you see the replay, you're just not sure. But stranger things have happened in this game and it's crazy sometimes. The way the ball bounced for us tonight, it went in our favor." The injury-riddled Astros will likely be without All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes in the series finale. Paredes left in the third inning Saturday with right hamstring discomfort after a single off the left-field wall. Paredes began limping midway down the first-base line and hobbled off the field with a trainer. Paredes missed three games last month after straining his left hamstring. "He's pretty sore right now, we're going to run some tests," Espada said of Paredes. Despite the loss, Espada couldn't fault his team after rallying from a three-run deficit to take a 5-4 lead. "We fought back, we were one hit away from getting a win there," Espada said. Brown is 1-3 with a 3.97 ERA in seven career starts against the Mariners. He took a no-decision in a 7-6 loss April 9 at Seattle despite pitching six scoreless innings. Brown suffered a 5-1 loss to visiting Texas last Sunday as he allowed four runs over five innings. Woo took a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his last start before the All-Star break, July 10 at Yankee Stadium, in a game in which the Mariners blew a five-run lead and lost 6-5 in 10 innings. Woo is 1-1 with a 2.55 ERA in three previous starts against the Astros. The loss came in a 2-1 decision May 24 at Houston. -Field Level Media

‘I've always loved my wife.. but it was bad' – Boxing legend Butterbean opens up on sex addiction in honest interview
BOXING cult icon Butterbean revealed he battled sex addiction during his glory years. The famous fighter rose to prominence during the 1990s thanks to his unique four-round matches that saw him dominating with a whopping record of 77-10-4, which included 57 knockouts. 2 2 The now 58-year-old reached immense levels of fame that also saw him crossing over to Hollywood with a hilarious cameo on Jackass as well as WWE where he knocked Bart Gunn out at WrestleMania 15. However, heavyweight rivals weren't the only big challenge the American dealt with during his heyday as he also faced addiction with sexual intercourse. The Georgia native admitted he had a lot of trouble beating his demons but managed to overcome and stay happily married to his wife Libby Gaskin. Butterbean told The Mirror: "It was pretty bad. I've been married for a long time and I've always loved my wife, but that was something that I've always had trouble getting over. "Now, I'm good. I'm confident in myself now. I don't have that problem. I'm a good boy now." Butterbean previously admitted that his addiction stemmed from his school years as he was bullied for being overweight and was ignored by female classmates. But now the boxer feels better than ever after also overcoming some chronic weight problems. The brawler ended up weighing more than 500lbs (35.7st) after his retirement in 2013 and found himself bed bound. Butterbean added: "When you can't walk and you can't walk into the store and get something to drink, you do get depressed. "I was in bed for almost a year, not got out of bed, just to go to the bathroom. And I ate in the bed. I mean, I didn't even leave the bed." However, thanks to immense help from WWE Hall of Famer and fitness guru Diamond Dallas Page as well as his famous DDPY programme, the boxing icon managed to lose 200lbs (14.3st). Butterbean said: "I went and moved to DDP for a while, did his yoga programme, and I'm in the best shape of my life right now. "I feel better now at 50-something than I did when I was in my 20s, which is insane. I can't explain it, but the Fountain of Youth, I dove in it and I come out so much better."
