Karrueche Tran stayed by Deion Sanders' side during life-saving surgery. Here's more about her
Karrueche Tran's emotional response as she waited with NFL legend Deion Sanders for him to have surgery for bladder cancer has caused speculation that the pair are dating. Tran appeared in a YouTube video titled 'For Your Glory: (Part 1),' which documents Sanders' treatment around his surgery, and includes the 'Claws' actress visibly emotional while at the hospital as she details what Sanders is being admitted for. The video – which includes Tran holding Sanders' hand on the way into the procedure – was shared on Monday. The pair haven't confirmed or denied the nature of their relationship, and CNN has reached out to representatives for both seeking comment. Tran, meanwhile, has a life and career beyond the internet's curiosity about her and the football player turned college football coach: Tran's first listed acting gig on IMDb dates back to 2014, and she has enjoyed roles in TV shows like 'The Last O.G.' and 'Bel-Air' along with films like 'The Nice Guys' and 'Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.' But it was playing the pivotal character Virginia on the popular series 'Claws' opposite Niecy Nash-Betts that made her a more in-demand actress. From 2010 to 2024, Tran starred as Vivian Johnson-Garrett on the digital series 'The Bay,' which has won more than 20 Daytime Emmys, according to the show's site. She took home the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a daytime fiction program in 2021. This year, she appeared in three episodes of the Paramount+ with Showtime series 'The Chi' as Zuri. Some may recognize Tran for having had a tumultuous relationship with singer Chris Brown from 2011 to 2015. Soon after their split, she appeared on the OWN reality series 'Iyanla: Fix My Life' and talked about the betrayal she said she felt after discovering that Brown had fathered a child with another woman. The host, Iyanla Vanzant, coached her into revealing that she felt devastated because 'the man I loved hurt and betrayed me.' Tran has also dated NFL receiver Victor Cruz and Quavo, a rapper with the group Migos. Fans are curious as to the timeline of when Tran and Sanders became close. The outspoken former athlete's last known relationship was with Tracey Edmonds, who is the former wife of music superstar Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds and was with Sanders for over a decade. The pair were engaged for four years, but announced their split in 2023. 'We have mutually decided that it is best for us to move forward in life as friends and have made this decision with love in our hearts, respect for each other and appreciation for the time we've shared together,' they said in a joint statement posted on social media.

Bills QB Josh Allen Hits Breaking Point With Patrick Mahomes Question
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are on of, if not the top rivalry in the NFL right now, and Josh Allen versus Patrick Mahomes is arguably the top quarterback-versus-quarterback rivalry in the league as well. But for as entertaining as their matchups have been, the rivalry always seems to favor the Bills during the regular season (they have a 4-1 record against KC), and the Chiefs during the postseason (they're 4-0 against Buffalo). And perhaps the most frustrating part about it for Allen and the Bills is that they've been so close to exorcising their demons against the Chiefs in the playoffs only to fall just short. Buffalo lost 32-29 to Kansas City in the AFC Championship just last season — a game many feel the Bills were robbed in after Allen was ruled short of a first down on a QB sneak on fourth down early in the fourth quarter after taking a 22-21 lead that could've put the game out of reach for the Chiefs, who scored a go-ahead touchdown to take a 29-22 lead on the very next drive. More NFL: Jon Gruden Says This NFL QB Reminds Him of Joe Montana Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, Missouri. Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills talks with Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs after an NFL game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 10, 2021 in Kansas City, marked the third time in the last three seasons that Allen and the Bills had their season ended by Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's no surprise that after all those heartbreaking defeats, Allen has been incessantly asked how he can finally break through against Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs — a question he recently admitted he's sick of being asked. "You've got to make sure that you're doing everything right on your side of the football and not giving him short fields and turnovers," Allen said, via D.J. Siddiqi of Esports Insider. "Getting over that hump, it's been the question. I hear it all the time. I'm getting a little tired of it. But the way to stop getting that question asked is to go out there and do it." The Bills have lost twice to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game and twice during the divisional round of the playoffs. More NFL: Rams' Sean McVay Drops Concerning Matthew Stafford Injury Update Back in 2023, Buffalo fell 27-24 after leading for the first two quarters and taking a 24-20 lead into the fourth. In 2022, the Bills came up just short in overtime (42-36) after coming back from a nine-point deficit to take a three-point lead with just 1:54 left in the game before the two teams traded touchdowns and KC hit a field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Their 2021 meeting was the only one what wasn't particularly close (KC won 38-24). The way things have gone over the last handful of years, it wouldn't be surprising to see Allen and Mahomes meet in the playoffs again this season.

Eddie Goldman is here reconnect with mumbo sauce and stop the run
This wasn't necessarily Eddie Goldman's goal, but his mother calls it full circle: It would be impossible for either of them to forget about the pictures of Goldman as a boy wearing Washington's football jersey. 'I don't look at the baby pictures too much, but I could tell you I was a die-hard fan,' Goldman said. 'When we played the Cowboys, my heart would be racing.' The goal, really, was just to get to the NFL. It didn't matter where. Goldman completed that in 2015, when he was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round. Now, the 31-year-old defensive tackle is living out his childhood dream wearing a Washington helmet as he takes the field at training camp. Goldman signed with the Commanders this offseason to add an experienced presence to the defensive line. Goldman grew up in Washington's Trinidad neighborhood, attended Friendship Collegiate Academy, a charter school in Southeast, and received more than 50 scholarship offers. He was a first-team All-Met pick (as an offensive lineman) and was rated as a five-star recruit. He picked Florida State and later played six seasons with the Bears. But Goldman's career has been jagged this decade. Goldman opted out of the 2020 season because of the coronavirus pandemic and played 14 games in 2021. He signed with the Falcons ahead of the 2022 season but retired 13 days later; he did not say why. He came back to the Falcons and practiced during the offseason before leaving the team again in July 2023. Last year he relaunched his career with the Falcons and played in all 17 games. Why did Goldman come back? He couldn't stand watching NFL games from afar. He realized he still wanted to play. While in his short-lived retirement, Goldman said he played with his two Rottweilers, Kane and Nala, on Sundays. It was something to avoid seeing games. But when he peeked over at his TV, he missed football. 'I found myself at home watching the season go by, and I'm thinking about what I would be doing at this moment,' Goldman said. ' … I just couldn't stay away from it too long.' One strong season was enough to convince Washington that Goldman could contribute. So here he is, trying to do so for his hometown team. Goldman is frequently asked what it's like to be home, and he says it's 'surreal.' Goldman hasn't lived in the area since he was in high school. When he returned this spring, his mother, Sharon Davis, said he noticed many changes around the city from what he remembered as a kid. 'I know he missed some of the food that he couldn't get wherever he plays,' Davis said. Goldman was particularly excited about a reunion with mumbo sauce, she said. Quinn expects him to be a relied-upon part of the rotation, especially for his ability to stop the run. The Commanders allowed the third-most rushing yards in the NFL last year, not including the 229 they gave up in the NFC championship game loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Commanders released defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and saw Dante Fowler Jr., who led the team in sacks last season, go to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency. In addition to Goldman, Washington brought in Javon Kinlaw and Deatrich Wise Jr. to sure up its line. Goldman, Kinlaw, Daron Payne and Carl Davis, who the team resigned, each weigh more than 300 pounds. The Commanders list Goldman at 332 pounds and hope more mass can help them compete against rugged teams such as the Eagles. Payne will play inside along with Goldman and second-year defensive tackle Jer'Zhan Newton, who led all Commanders defensive linemen in tackles as a rookie. In training camp, Goldman has played mostly with the first- and second-team defensive lines. Quinn believes the team has several options on the line, which allows flexibility with Goldman's role. 'In the first six practices here: Square, strong, really committed that way in the run game,' Quinn said. 'That was our vision, him coming here to add things to the defense on the early downs. As we're getting started, we've only had one padded practice, but I've been impressed by what I've seen.'
