Justin Tucker hopes to thread needle between claiming innocence, accepting responsibility
When the NFL announced on Thursday that former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has received a 10-game suspension under the Personal Conduct Policy, the initial reaction based on the bare-bones statement was that the league completed its investigation and its in-house legal process with a finding that Tucker had done what he was accused of doing during one or more massage-therapy sessions. It quickly became clear that the suspension didn't result from the procedures created by the NFL. It came from a negotiation between the league, the union, and Tucker. And that's what made aspects of the statement issued by Tucker's representative confusing. Especially at the outset. 'We are disappointed with the NFL's decision,' Rob Roche began in the comment that was widely distributed to reporters and for the most part disseminated with little if any context or explanation. The NFL's 'decision' wasn't to suspend Tucker 10 games. It was to propose (presumably) a longer suspension if the process played out and to offer Tucker a 10-game suspension. It was Tucker's 'decision' to accept the 10-game suspension. That fact, obscured by Roche's statement, is an important one. Tucker accepted a 10-game suspension for something he loudly insisted he didn't do. 'Justin has always strived to carry himself in a way that would make his family and community proud,' Roche added. 'He stands by his previous statements.' But does he? Who accepts a punishment for something they know they didn't do — especially when reasonable minds will be inclined to include that accepting a 10-game suspension represents an admission of responsibility? 'In order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible, we have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter,' Roche said. 'The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband, and friend.' It's one thing to advise Tucker to take a one-game or a two-game suspension. Ten games sends a much different message. Ten games suggests that Roche and others feared the league would emerge from the hearing before retired judge Sue L. Robinson with a much longer suspension. And so, on one hand, Tucker still says he didn't do anything. On the other hand, he has accepted a TEN-GAME SUSPENSION for something he swears he didn't do. That's a difficult needle to thread, especially if he plans to eventually sue the Baltimore Banner for defamation based on the reporting that sparked this situation in late January. For a defamation case to fly, Tucker will have to prove that the information was false (and that the Banner knew it was false or acted with reckless disregard to the truth or falsity of the information, since Tucker is a public figure). The suspension means, as a practical matter, that Tucker will also need to show that even the NFL was duped by the false allegations.

Justin Tucker had a decision to make. Will it help him return to the field?
Justin Tucker didn't issue an apology Thursday or acknowledge any wrongdoing after the NFL suspended him 10 weeks for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Instead, in a statement released by his longtime agent, Rob Roche, the former Baltimore Ravens kicker stood by his previous denials and said he's disappointed with the league's decision. The statement also made clear that he will not appeal the decision 'in order to put this difficult episode behind him and get back on the field as soon as possible.' Advertisement Thursday's ruling by the NFL came after a four-month investigation following allegations from 16 Baltimore-area massage therapists via The Baltimore Banner that Tucker engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior during bodywork sessions from 2012 to 2016. Tucker has not faced criminal or civil charges, and the statute of limitations in Maryland makes either scenario highly unlikely. The most accurate kicker in NFL history was released by the Ravens in early May after starring for the team for more than a decade. Then came the ruling and a decision to be made. If he and his high-powered legal team had made it known they planned on fighting it, his status likely would have gone unresolved for months. The matter would have likely landed in the hands of Judge Sue Lewis Robinson, the hearing officer for alleged violations of the personal conduct policy. She would have been charged with making a ruling and then releasing the findings of the investigation. That process would have surely taken a lot more time and would have opened the door for a suspension longer than the 10-week ban Tucker accepted. 'We have advised Justin to accept this resolution and close this matter,' Roche said in the statement. 'The people who know Justin best know his character and understand that while he remains fully committed to excellence as a football player, he is deeply dedicated to his most important lifetime roles as a father, husband and friend.' Attorneys Michael Belsky and Catherine Dickinson, who are representing 13 of Tucker's accusers, praised the league's investigation, calling it 'incredibly thorough and thoughtful.' Dickinson said the league interviewed 15 of the accusers. Yet, Belsky said Friday at a news conference at the SBWD Law office, which is just down the street from the Ravens' M&T Bank Stadium, that Tucker's refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing left 'many of the victims, our clients, with the stain of a denial.' Advertisement 'There was an opening here for an early discussion between Mr. Tucker and the victims and the NFL,' Belsky said. 'There was a way that this could have happened and gone down in a way that was different than how it did. Unfortunately, Mr. Tucker dug in with his denials, and we are where we are today.' Belsky was asked what's next for his clients and said they were still digesting the results of the investigation, and any responding course of action was 'TBD.' Meanwhile, as a free agent, Tucker is free to sign with another team. He can participate in training camp and even kick in the preseason. However, he would officially revert to the reserve/suspended list on Aug. 26, roster cutdown day around the NFL. He wouldn't be eligible for reinstatement until Nov. 11, two days before the official start of Week 11 and 10 days before his 36th birthday. Bringing Tucker into a training camp would surely generate questions and criticism for an organization and probably be a distraction that football decision-makers wouldn't want to deal with in late July. Most teams carry only one kicker. Signing Tucker now so he'll be available in mid-November would be a clear message to a team's current kicker that he almost certainly isn't in the long-term plans. The most recent version of Tucker as a kicker was a diminished one from the ridiculously high standard he set early in his career. Tucker had his worst NFL season in 2024, missing eight field goal attempts and two extra-point tries. The Ravens stuck with him, and he had a strong finish to the season. But for the only time in his career, Tucker was one of the primary reasons Baltimore lost a few of its games, rather than being the prominent reason for winning. His 73.3 field goal percentage was fourth worst among kickers who were active for more than 10 games. Advertisement But what if a contending team with an established and well-respected general manager and head coach enters the second half of the season with major questions at one of the game's most important positions? Year after year, in a league where the margin of victory and defeat is so small, promising seasons are sometimes made or lost on the foot of kickers. Would a team view Tucker, a seven-time Pro Bowler, as the final piece to a championship puzzle? Would an established GM be willing to absorb the heat if he felt Tucker would help his team win games in December and January? By not appealing, Tucker left that door ajar.

Former NFL Star Has Disgraceful Message For Jason Kelce
Former NFL Star Has Disgraceful Message For Jason Kelce originally appeared on The Spun. Earlier this week, former Philadelphia Eagles star Jason Kelce ditched his pants for a really good cause. The Eagles Autism Foundation held two events in New Jersey on Wednesday. There was a 21+ event Team 62 at Ocean Drive that featured Kelce and a few of his "celebrity friends," per the website. When the former All-Pro offensive lineman showed up to this event, he immediately established himself as the life of the party. Advertisement Kelce, 37, ripped off his American flag shorts to show off his patriotic underwear. It was a wild scene that generated plenty of awareness for the Eagles Autism Foundation. "Doing this puts eyes on the cause/foundation. He's good at marketing," one person wrote on X. "That's pure Jason Kelce right there. Most players retire and disappear. Kelce climbs on a lifeguard chair in a flag Speedo because he genuinely loves his people," another person saids.

This post from Brown immediately went viral on social media. Countless fans lectured him for using insensitive language. Brown is no stranger to making headlines for the wrong reasons. It was reported two weeks ago that he's facing a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. "I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown wrote on X. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me."
