Bengals to induct Dave Lapham, Lemar Parrish into Ring of Honor
The Bengals will induct two of their former players into their Ring of Honor this year. Cincinnati announced on Wednesday that Dave Lapham and Lemar Parrish will be given the honor midway through the season. Lapham, an offensive lineman, played his entire career with the Bengals from 1974-1983. He appeared in 140 games with 105 starts before becoming a radio analyst with the team. He is entering his 50th season with the franchise and 40th as a broadcaster. Parrish played eight years with the Bengals from 1970-1977, before continuing his career with Washington and Buffalo. A defensive back, he recorded 25 interceptions with four returned for touchdowns, plus another 10 fumble recoveries with three returned for TDs in his time with Cincinnati. Parrish finished his career as an eight-time Pro Bowler, with six of his selections coming with the Bengals. Lapham and Parrish will be inducted to the Ring of Honor during halftime of the Bengals' Week 8 matchup against the Jets.

Buccaneers' Improved Position Group Gets Sour Offseason Ranking
Buccaneers' Improved Position Group Gets Sour Offseason Ranking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and general manager Jason Licht worked hard this offseason to improve an underperforming defense from last year, and specifically, the secondary. Advertisement Todd Bowles' unit was plagued by injuries and a lack of depth, and it showed, as the secondary struggled in pass coverage and in taking the ball away. Licht used his second- and third-round picks on cornerbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish are new additions that Licht and the team think can contribute immediately in some capacity. Other additions from free agency and undrafted free agents could help, too. But Pro Football Focus doesn't think the team did enough to improve. In ranking the secondaries of all 32 NFL teams, PFF put the Bucs' unit at No. 22. "After struggling in 2024, the Buccaneers addressed their secondary by selecting cornerbacks Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish in the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft," PFF wrote. "They also added one of the league's most physical cornerbacks, Kindle Vildor, in free agency. If Jamel Dean continues to play at a consistently high level and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. bounces back, Tampa Bay's secondary should show improvement in 2025." Advertisement Both Morrison and Parrish should improve the unit as long as health isn't a factor. Morrison, who played for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, had hip surgery in October and arthroscopic shoulder surgery last year, too. Bowles mentioned at the NFL combine that he wanted "ball hawks" for his defense, and with Morrison and Parrish, he got just that. Parrish is fast, clocking a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the combine. It was the fourth-fastest time among DBs this season, and per NFL Next Gen Stats, he reached 23.84 mph. But what possibly attracted the Bucs to him was his 19 pass breakups since 2023, with five interceptions in that time, for the Kansas State Wildcats.

A council was gridlocked over development charges. Then Ontario promised $1.3B
It wasn't unprecedented — but it was a rare move — when councillors from Brampton and Caledon walked out of a regional council meeting at the start of June, forcing proceedings to halt. The decision to abandon the meeting was made by the two municipalities over a motion Mississauga Mayor Carolyn Parrish brought to slash development charges in half for more than a year to spur building. Parrish said the move was necessary to restart new home construction, which has almost completely stopped; Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown and Caledon Mayor Annette Groves said it was financially irresponsible. Heading into the next council meeting two weeks later on June 26, it looked like Parrish would bring her motion again and her colleagues would walk out again, leaving the region paralyzed. Instead, after a lengthy recess where staff and councillors passed compromises back and forth, a very lightly modified version of the motion was allowed to pass. Story continues below advertisement A news release from the Region of Peel proclaimed the move both 'landmark' and 'historic' — offering developers a 50 per cent discount on the fees they pay to build until November 2026.

Parrish and Brown say it was a delicate negotiation with the promise of more than $1 billion from Housing Minister Rob Flack. The day before the meeting — as Brown and Groves worried about the cost of lost revenue from developers — Flack wrote to the region to encourage them to pass the development charges cut. 'I appreciate the Region's proactive approach to reviewing and reducing their municipal DCs to support building more homes faster across Peel Region in a way that works for all municipalities within the Region,' a June 25 letter from the housing minister said. It included the promise of $1.3 billion from the Building Ontario Fund to be handed over as part of the Ford government's plan to create a public utility company in the region, taking the responsibility away from councillors in Peel Region. That money can be used to offset the costs of losing control of water and wastewater utilities, and to cover lost development charges, the ministry said. The motion passed by Peel Region councillors says that if by October the funding from the province looks like it won't show up, the development charges cut will be axed. Story continues below advertisement The promise of more than $1 billion proved to be the key to unsticking Peel Region's warring mayors. A spokesperson for the Brampton mayor said having the promise of funding written down and on the record allowed him to vote in favour of the development charges cut. 'He requested their proposals in written form and says the letter was impactful in achieving a compromise at the regional meeting today,' they said in response to questions. 'Mayor Brown wanted assurances that any concessions to the development industry wasn't at the expense of critical regional infrastructure.' Parrish also said she felt the housing minister had helped to steer the council to being able to cut charges. She said she was confident developers would leap at the cut of development charges and start building again. 'We have 11,000 units in letters of commitment,' Parrish said. 'They're putting up, they want to build … they're at the point where they can build now as long as these two big fees stay out of the picture.' Flack's office said the $1.3 billion coming to Peel Region would be used as 'financing' to help with the utility transfer, which is a move they hope will also phase out development charges on water and wastewater infrastructure. 'We will continue to ensure Peel Region has the tools and support they need to build more new and affordable homes,' a spokesperson said.

Zip Trips: Roebuck
ROEBUCK, S.C. (WSPA) – Roebuck was one of the first settlements in the Upstate, settled in 1790. It all began at Walnut Grove Plantation, the oldest home in Spartanburg County. The Moore family received eight land grants spanning five square miles from King George III following the French and Indian War. Local historian Tim Fowler said it may be thanks to a few travelers who stopped at Smith's Tavern, a lodging place near the plantation, that Roebuck is what it is today. 'A couple of travelers were passing through in the late – you know – 1790s,' Fowler explained. 'They decided to come back, and they established a church which is a Bethlehem Baptist church, which was established in 1800 and that was mainly the general gathering area.' The church still stands today. 'I get a little emotional sometimes, you know I'm so proud of our folks who they were and where they came from that's why I've spent so much time and money making sure my two sons and my grandchildren know all about them,' said Tim Foster, a seventh generation at the church. Throughout the centuries many, like Foster, said Roebuck has stayed the same. They describe it as a quiet, laid-back town where people can take a break from the hustle and bustle of other booming cities. Lifetime resident Joe Parrish described Roebuck as a 'piece of countryside.' 'Oh, it's just a beautiful community,' described Parrish. 'You have all the growth of Spartanburg County, but in Roebuck, it's like the untouched, so to speak. You still have nature, you know, you can go to Spartanburg or wherever, but you get Roebuck and it's peaceful.' All whom we spoke with said they quietly hope Roebuck always remains the same. 'I think that this is a spot where you're close to the city, but you're all of a sudden immersed in nature and you're sent back in time, ' said Lauren Preston-Friedrich. 'I really think that's special.' 'We're hoping Roebuck gets to be Roebuck for as long as it can,' said Parrish.
