The Marine Corps identified Staff Sgt. Joshua Braica, 29, of Sacramento, California, as the service member who was killed over the weekend in a tactical vehicle accident at Camp Pendleton.

The Marine Raider, who was part of an elite special operations team, suffered critical injuries and was medically evacuated for additional care to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, California, but died on Sunday night, according to the Marines. Two other Marine Raiders were also injured in the one-vehicle crash, which occurred during a unit training exercise on Saturday.

(U.S. Marine Corps) Staff Sgt. Joshua Braica, 29, of Sacramento, Calif., was identified as the Marine Raider who was killed over the weekend in a tactical vehicle accident at Camp Pendleton that occurred on April 13, 2019.

Braica had served in the Marine Corps for more than eight years and had deployed twice to what is now referred to as the Indo-Pacific Command region. He first deployed with the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit in 2011 and later with the 1st Marine Raider Battalion from July 2017 to January 2018, according to the Marines. Braica served as an intelligence specialist with 1st Battalion, 4th Marines, and with Marine Aircraft Group 36, and had received several honors since he enlisted in July 2010.

Braica's identity was announced Tuesday after his relatives were notified. He is survived by his wife and son. An investigation into the accident continues.

"Our thoughts are with his family and teammates," Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command tweeted on Monday.

Last week, three Marines were killed by a bomb blast outside of Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan. They were identified as Cpl. Robert A. Hendriks, Sgt. Benjamin S. Hines, and Staff Sgt. Christopher K.A. Slutman.

He was there at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on June 28, 1997, the night of his father's most famous-er, infamous-fight, one row behind Queen Latifah, inside the belly of his pregnant mother as she jumped and screamed and received Are you supposed to be here? glares.

When Mike Tyson gnawed into the ear of his father, Evander, his mom shouted so loudly she thought she might go into labor right then and there.

But it wasn't concern or horror that made Tamie Pettaway shout. She didn't want to sprint into the ring to save Evander from the assault. To hell with sewing that ear back on. She wanted the fight to go on.

"I was like, 'He's ready! Let him go!'" Pettaway remembers. "He doesn't need that ear right now. He needs to fight right now!"

Because she had seen the look in Evander's eyes that night. The drive. She knew he would crush Tyson and was ticked he didn't get to finish the job.

And maybe part of that night has lived on in Elijah Holyfield, the baby who would be born five months later.

Pettaway saw the same look-this feverish desire to finish the job, no matter the circumstances-piercing in high school, when Elijah became a star running back, and in college, when he played for Georgia. Before one game against LSU, seeing Elijah get off the team bus, Mom had flashbacks to that night in '97.

"I saw the eye of the tiger. I saw in his mind. There's nobody out here I can't compete against. I can do this. I'm built for this. This is what I'm made of," Pettaway says. "I believe in my heart that this is what my son believes he's made to do. What he's built for. And that excites me every time I say it because I can see it.

"How can he be denied? He can't."

So never mind that Elijah didn't get to finish his own fight that night against LSU, receiving only seven carries in a loss. And never mind that the ATV-shaped, 5'10", 217-pound back who ran for 1,018 yards and seven touchdowns on 159 attempts last fall has had his name dragged through the mud for two months leading up to the NFL draft thanks to lackluster 40 times.

The underdog role is nothing new to a Holyfield.

"I think I'm the best back in the draft," says Elijah, soft-spoken and stoic. "I feel like my tape proves it, and I feel like I have a lot more that I can show.

"I don't feel like people have seen the full Elijah."

And when they do, he believes, they will see what everyone around him, including Evander, sees. That he inherited what made the champ great. That he's wired differently.

The 4.78 40 he ran at the combine and the 4.8 at his pro day were glacial for a running back.

He faces the same uphill climb Dad did when he was a 25-1 underdog the first time he beat Tyson and 2-1 before the bite fight.

He knows what an underdog can do.

What's the feeling behind that look? Evander can't explain. Elijah can only try.

"You can't get into that mode until it just happens," Elijah says. "It's kind of a feeling of being fearless. You're not worried about anything."

This fearlessness, he explains, is a gift inherited from Dad.

Elijah, the eighth of Evander's 11 children, grew up as part of a huge, "blended" family, as Tamie puts it. She has been married to Chris Pettaway for 20 years, and he had kids of his own before the marriage too. As a kid, Elijah learned as much as he could about Evander, watching clip after clip, fight after fight. No. 1 on his list is the first time Dad fought Tyson. He loves seeing Tyson walk to the ring in no robe, only a black cutoff sweatshirt, staring ahead, knowing full well his dad wasn't intimidated at all. Holyfield shocked the world with an 11th-round TKO.

Dad could see right through Tyson, Elijah says, and that's how you need to attack all obstacles.

"It's something in you," he adds.

Father and son don't talk about specific fights often, but son can relate to that fearlessness.

Whereas Evander played football as a kid before fully committing to boxing, Elijah boxed before fully committing to football when he was about 14 years old. It's no shock Elijah gravitated toward running back, where he could punch away at defenses like a boxer. That's his running style-he prefers to blast through you.

Says Elijah: "I always love those physical, tough runs, where I could go around, but I don't want to. Those are tone-setters. As somebody told me, 'It's like when you run the ball, [for] the whole team, it's an emotion-builder.'"

One specific game in high school put him on the map.

He knocks on the table, says, "I don't fumble," and explains how he always held on to the ball until coughing it up multiple times in the first half of a game as a junior at Woodward Academy in College Park, Georgia. His team trailed 21-0. His coach told him, as Elijah remembers it, "F--k it! You're going to run every f--king play!" And, as Elijah remembers it, he then ran the ball 24 straight times. He never tapped his helmet to come out. No, he wanted more. From the stands, Mom screamed to the Woodward Academy coach, "You're killing my kid!" Chris calmed her down. He knew Elijah could take it.

Woodward lost the game 21-20 because of a blocked extra point. But Holyfield finished with 260 yards and two TDs on 38 carries. The more he touched the ball, the more he punished defenders, the better he became.

"I was in one of those zones where it was like, 'If I need to do it, I'll do it,'" he says. "It was one of those defining moments in my career: If you need me to do it, I'll do it."

Adds Mom, "Everybody in the stadium-even the other team-was giving him a standing ovation."

On the spot, people started to know Elijah Holyfield for more than his last name.

Not that that's the only thing he wants to be known for.

Holyfield doesn't run from the shadow of his father. He welcomes it. But he also makes it clear he's his own man. He's a steak afficanado and says it has to be a ribeye cooked medium, no matter how much his well-done-favoring friends make fun of him for it. He's a Netflix junkie and points to Spartacus as his favorite show ever. His favorite athlete isn't Dad or a football player but Kobe Bryant because of that rare "mindset" he represents.

And he knows the Holyfield name can, unfortunately, be a negative at times.

Like in youth sports. Mom remembers other parents instructing their kids to take out her eight-year-old son, just to brag. She didn't want the "Holyfield" name on the back of his jersey because there were times he wouldn't even have the ball and kids would blindside him.

Or when Dad's financial troubles became news. She remembers being in the checkout line at Walmart and trying to create conversation with Elijah so he wouldn't hear a loud nearby conversation about his dad losing $230 million.

Or at school. In eighth grade, three classmates attacked Elijah in the boys bathroom, cornering him. Rather than flee, he fought, standing his ground to preserve his reputation. He pummeled all three. The bad news? Even though this was self-defense, he was suspended. The good news? Nobody messed with him again.

That became a theme.

In high school, whenever opponents played dirty, he returned the favor. "I became a person you didn't want to mess with," he says. Nobody talked smack because they knew they'd pay. And when fans tried taunting Elijah with pictures of Tyson in the stands, he only laughed. Why would that scare him? Tyson never frightened his father. In fact, he loves the story of Evander randomly bumping into Tyson at a hotel months after the second fight.

Their rooms were next to each other in New York at the NBA All-Star Game.

Tyson exited his room. Holyfield exited his. And Holyfield simply said, "It's all good."

It's always been much better to be a Holyfield than not.

The name means nothing, Evander says. Nothing, unless you do something with it.

He wants all 11 kids to be better than he ever was. "Not like me," he says. "Better than me. That's the key to what true love is. Each generation's supposed to be better."

Maybe this is why Elijah never gets irritated by all the questions about Dad. Never tries to steer the conversation away from him. Because he knows the truth: What makes Evander great can also make him great. In the NFL.

"A lot of people try to make it like I should be upset or feel a certain way about my Dad," he says. "I'm like, Why would I ever be mad that my Dad [is] one of the greatest boxers of all time? I'd never be ashamed. It doesn't bother me that way.

"It's more of a...it gives me something to go at."

And a reason to never quit.

Forced to wait behind Sony Michel and Nick Chubb at Georgia, Holyfield was a non-factor for two years. Then, as a junior, he split work with D'Andre Swift. While other running backs would've bolted to another school, though, Holyfield stayed put. To him, it was simple. He felt he was always the best of the bunch.

He didn't back away from that fight in the bathroom and wouldn't back away from this.

"I've just never been that type of guy," he says. "I've just never been the type to give in. Sometimes, it hurts. Sometimes, it's not always the best thing. But I've always had this attitude that when I do something, I do it all the way. Either I'm in or I'm out.

"So I said to myself: 'Your dream was always to play at Georgia, and your dream is still in front of you. You don't want to go somewhere else.' ... Through my whole college experience, I became a whole lot more mentally tough. And I think it's helped me grow as a person."

Of course, it helps having a dad around who knows what it's like to be counted out.

Evander can point to precisely when he was counted out, when he was in the position Elijah was in early at Georgia and is again now: his first title fight, against Dwight Muhammad Qawi, in Atlanta. Evander was 23 years old, Qawi 33, and Evander still remembers Qawi sniping, "I can't believe they sent a baby to do a man's job." He let Qawi talk. He knew the truth would be told.

Evander won, and his career took off. To him, the reason is simple. He believed that if he didn't quit, ever, he'd be the best.

"I didn't quit," he says, his voice tough, weathered. "If I would've quit or got mad because things didn't go my way, then I would've never made it. This message-'Don't quit'-means that something is going to come up. Somebody's going to aggravate you. Something's going to happen that's going to make you want to quit. Some type of distraction is going to always be there. Things aren't always going to go your way."

So that's the message to Elijah now.

Evander didn't grow up with a dad, and his mom, Annie, didn't have much money. He remembers wanting to go to Six Flags, only for Mom to tell him, "You have to eat to live." Any idea that Elijah was fed with a silver spoon in his mouth is dead wrong. Evander stressed humility.

Meanwhile, with Evander busy boxing until 2011, Tamie and Chris raised Elijah. And in their house, he didn't get away with anything. He didn't do his homework? Didn't take the trash out? Mom would grab him by the jacket, smack him with a shoe-"shoes, punches, everything," Tamie says. Usually, the sound of her voice and disappointment in her face were enough.

For one full year before high school, Elijah did move in with Evander, who at the time was living in a 44,000-square foot mansion that is now occupied by rapper Rick Ross. On the surface, that would seem like a life of luxury and leisure, but in reality, Elijah would wake up at 5 a.m. each morning to work out with Evander and a trainer. And he loved it. The next year, Elijah attended a military school-after that three-on-one skirmish, Dad had a reason to send him-and continued to train. And train. He took weightlifting as his last period of class and always stayed to work out extra.

Elijah can't remember the last non-Sunday he didn't work out. He describes it as a "constant," in his head, that he can't quite explain.

Adds Mom: "His mindset is amazing. He's a competitor. Their work ethics are very similar. So knowing the type of person Evander is, it's the same thing with Elijah. I know who he is. I know what he's made of. I know what he's built of."

The result is that son is a spitting image of Dad.

In mindset and physique.

"He's always working out," Evander says. "And...you don't have to tell him to work out. This is what he wants to do. He's focused. He wants to be the very best."

So he cannot stop.

Elijah trains with John Lewis, the older brother of ex-NFL back Jamal Lewis. Has since childhood. Never late, Holyfield called one day in college to tell Lewis he'd "had a little incident" so was running late. The tire on his car had blown out. Minutes later, he pulled up in an Uber. He'd decided to deal with the tire later. It couldn't interfere with that day's intense cycling. "You can't teach that!" Lewis says.

Elijah also lifts weights with Buddy Primm, the Mickey Goldmill-like trainer whom Terrell Owens asked to stand up at his Hall of Fame induction. Primm was the miracle-worker behind T.O.'s physique, the one who put him in the Super Bowl seven weeks after the receiver had broken his leg and torn an ankle ligament. And Holyfield, Primm says, is just as tireless of a worker. "He has one gear: That's wide-open and straight ahead. He has that boxer mentality."

To top it off, since the combine, Elijah has been training at David Buer Fitness. He must hold certain poses, he explains, be it a wall sit or an ab raise, to the point of literal collapse. The first day, you're asked to hold one for five minutes. Which is impossible. Which is the point. From there, he rips through three-minute poses at a time in sets of five, 10, 15, 20 and 25. The goal is to restructure the body by getting typically dormant muscles firing and to teach his body how to handle going all the way to the brink.

"It pushes my mind to places where I've never pushed my mind," Elijah says. "It definitely pushes you. The only time you stop is when your muscles stop. When you fall through the pose. When your muscles give out. Collapse. My mom said she wanted to come. They were like: 'Nah, you probably don't want to see him like this. It's intense, it's intense.'"

Perfect for a player who, as a kid, asked Mom for training with Lewis as his only Christmas present. A player who lives at full speed. If a team wants him at anything less than that for a practice, Lewis says, that team had better hand him a note that says "No tackling." That's when you will see the player who seemed so out of his element at the combine and his pro day.

Holyfield lives for contact and competition, and no, a few sprints in shorts don't quite show what makes him special.

Son is an underdog. There's no disputing that.

Heading into the draft, which begins April 25, Bleacher Report's Matt Miller has Holyfield ranked as the 11th-best back and 132nd-best overall prospect. The 40 time is a red flag. Elijah's camp didn't agree with the media times on site at the pro day, but one AFC scout assures that Elijah did, indeed, run in the 4.8s. Lineman territory. A reason to forget the name entirely. Teams simply aren't in a mad rush to add a slow back-let alone a slow back who spent most of his collegiate career buried on a depth chart.

Evander rants about the 40. If someone were trying to tackle his son out there, he says, nobody would catch him. It's a contact sport. Not track.

Lewis agrees. He imitates how Elijah ran the 40, his legs extending at exaggerated 45-degree angles, like he was looking for someone to hit while he ran. That's his nature. That's a strength.

Elijah brushes this all off as just another obstacle to overcome. "I've never had anything come easy to me," he says. "Everything I've done in my life is what I've worked for."

That's why he's confident he will thrive in the NFL. He believes he gets better as the game grinds on, as opponents start running on empty. And he plans on being an all-around back anyway, like his favorite, LaDainian Tomlinson. That last season in Athens, Elijah knew he needed to improve as a receiver, so he started catching 100-plus balls every day after practice. And during practice-whenever there was a lull-he'd have someone throw him 10, 20, 30 balls. In all, he estimates he caught 500 balls a day. Georgia never showcased him as a receiver, but the talent's there, as NFL scouts also saw at his pro day.

And nobody, Elijah assures with a cold stare, will ever outwork him. He plans on obsessing over his craft, like Kobe.

Adds Lewis: "If you have a guy who runs a 4.3, fits all the criteria, but is the kind of cat who will shut down, who's not going to give you all his effort, who doesn't really practice hard...we'll see how long he lasts. You'll either want to cut him, or you'll be mad you gave him all that money.

"But if you get a guy with a mentality, heart and the willingness to say, I am a football player, that's the difference. He doesn't want any hand-me-outs. He wants to earn it.

"He's going to earn it at that next level. Because now? You're saying I'm slow. You're saying I'm this. I know him. He's mad right now."

Evander knows the feeling. For him, any time things got tough, any time he was doubted, "Woo-hoo!" he shouts. That's what got him going. He'd never shout into a mic like other boxers, never talk trash to intimidate. He quietly ramped up the work behind the scenes. So Dad knows what's going through his son's mind right now.

The same thoughts Evander had before taking down Tyson.

"He wants it," Dad says. "He has something to prove."

Kyler Murray will not be enjoying a trip to our nation's capitol, after all.

Previously scheduled to visit the Washington Redskins this week, Murray no longer has plans to make the trip, NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported, per a source with knowledge of the situation, on Tuesday afternoon.

This is likely a sign that Murray or his representation is confident the reigning Heisman Trophy winner out of Oklahoma will have been drafted by the time Washington picks at No. 15 in the first round.

Murray has long been predicted to be the No. 1 overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals due to how well he would presumably fit in to the offense of first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury. Cardinals general manager Steve Keim has stated the team hasn't made a decision yet, though.

And last week Murray took a visit to the New York Giants' facility and had a visit scheduled for the Redskins. As of now, a trip to D.C. is off the books as Murray will presumably be off the board for the Redskins.

A 71 year old man from Louisiana is charged for 100 counts of rape, including girls under the age of 13. He was charged with 50 counts of first-degree rape on April 9 and 50 additional counts on April 12.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Louisiana man was charged with 100 counts of rape for multiple sexual assaults that included children under the age of 13, according to police.

Harvey Fountain, 71, was arrested and charged last week in connection with a string of rapes that allegedly date back to the early 1970s, police said.

Authorities have not disclosed the suspected number of victims, but they said the alleged assaults occurred in and around his hometown of Pineville, Louisiana, located just outside of Alexandria.

(Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office via AP) Harvey Joseph Fountain is seen in this undated booking photo provided by the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office.

Officers with the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office said investigators were made aware of the accusations on April 1, when it received a complaint about sexual misconduct involving children, according to a statement.

"Fountain perpetrated the sexually based crimes upon juveniles while at various locations that he resided in the Pineville area," the statement said. "The crimes allegedly began in the early 1970s and continued through the early 1980s."

Fountain was charged with 50 counts of first-degree rape on April 9 and 50 additional counts on April 12. The sheriff's office said it added the second round of charges after identifying additional victims.

"Through their investigation, detectives were able to gather evidence that supported the original allegations which lead to sufficient probable cause being established," the office said. "As Fountain remained in jail, detectives continued their investigation and additional victims were identified."

Fountain was being held on a $1 million bond as of late Tuesday. It's unclear if he has retained an attorney.

Police said the investigation is ongoing and urged anyone with information about other possible victims to come forward.

A church in Pataskala, Ohio apologized after a disturbing video surfaced showing a youth pastor asking kids to spit on him, slap him, and then cut him with a steak knife in an Easter message gone wrong.

"The illustration went too far," Justin Ross, the lead pastor of Impact City Church, explained in a video on Facebook, "and it was inappropriate for the audience that we had, that was students."
THESE EASTER EGGS SHOW KIDS THE 'TRUE MEANING' OF THE HOLIDAY
Part-time youth pastor Jaddeaus Dempsey says he was trying to illustrate what happened to Jesus leading up to the crucifixion, so he asked the students to spit on him and they lined up and did so. Then to slap him, as several students expressed that it was "enough," but then he picked up a knife and asked them to cut him.

"Are you serious?" a student asked, as screams are heard in the background. Dempsey responded: "I'm very serious."

The next student brought the knife to his back as "light" as he could.

Dempsey told him to bring blood so the student tried again, saying he could see blood. Then the video stops.
WARNING: DISTURBING VIDEO CONTENT
Many students were taking videos and posting them on social media. One of them was posted by Lola Hatfield, who called it "disturbing."

Mandy, one of the parents whose kid was handed a knife, told 10 WBNS she was "appalled."

"Many of you were disgusted. Many of you were hurt by this. Many of you were very confused on why this would be taking place at a church and a youth event, and we agree," Ross said. "It was inappropriate for this audience and there's really no excuse for why it happened."

But he said the intent behind it, which was not seen on social media, is important to clear up.

"After Jaddeaus allowed them to spit on him, slap him, and cut him, he sat them down and explained to them about this guy named Jesus, who thousands of years ago, he was put on trial for a crime that he didn't commit, and he was beaten, he was broken, he was whipped, he was crucified, and he died as an innocent man."

The pastor explained that Jesus could've stopped it at any point but "chose to take the debt we call sin."

Jesus did it out of love, the pastor explained, adding that the youth pastor was trying to "share" in Jesus' pain.

Dempsey said some students felt bad and he told them it was completely his idea.

"It was completely my idea. Not Justin, not any of the other leaders, including my own wife, knew the illustration that I was about to perform," Dempsey said. "I crossed the line, and it was over the top and it was just not appropriate. It was in bad judgment. I'm so sorry for misrepresenting the community, the church, the parents, the students, anybody that I hurt. It was not my intention."

The goal was to show the students how much Jesus loved them, the youth pastor explained.

"In no way do we condone that students or anyone else should spit on someone, should slap them, or use a weapon to harm anyone or harm themselves," Ross said, "and we have a lot to evaluate to ensure that a situation like this doesn't happen again."

Mike Freeman's 10-Point Stance: Mahomes Next 'Money' QB at $45 Million a Year?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
1. The $45 million man?
This is, without question, the era of the big-money quarterback. Decades from now, when we look back at this period of NFL history, we will marvel at the money. The cash. The bucks. The lolly.

This list of average annual salaries, composed by The MMQB's Albert Breer, is simply staggering:

Albert Breer @AlbertBreer
Highest paid by APY ... June '16: Andrew Luck, $24.6M June '17: Derek Carr, $25.0M Sept. '17: Matthew Stafford, $27.0M Feb. '18: Jimmy Garoppolo, $27.5M March '18: Kirk Cousins, $28.0M May '18: Matt Ryan, $30.0M Aug. '18: Aaron Rodgers, $33.5M April '19: Russell Wilson, $35.0M

That's an increase of more than $10 million per year in just three years. At the time, Luck's deal was seen as huge. Now, it's like quarterback minimum wage.

The Wilson extension (four years, $140 million) is huge, but in just a few years, it will pale in comparison to what Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes will receive.

Based on Wilson's deal, and Rodgers', we could see Mahomes earn a five-year, $200 million deal, averaging $40 million a season.

The idea of a $40 million Mahomes was first brought up by ESPN's Adam Schefter. It seemed absurd at the time in January. But no longer. The Rodgers and Wilson deals show not only is that probable, it might also be low.

The number could actually be $45 million.

That's because the health of the NFL remains strong, and the league continues to increase the salary cap significantly every year (about $10 million a season). This gives teams more money to pay their most important players in the quarterbacks.

Mahomes was drafted in 2017 and is eligible for an extension after this coming season. Teams are often nervous about giving players bank vaults full of cash so soon after they're eligible, but Mahomes will be the exception. He's proved not just to be one of the most explosive and game-changing players in all of sports, but he's also studious and grounded.

So, yes, Wilson's contract is immense and also well-deserved.

It's also possible Mahomes' deal will blow it out of the water.
2. Wilson's greatness
A few pieces of Russell Wilson data, courtesy of NFL Research, that are somewhat staggering:

69 passing touchdowns since 2017 (most in the NFL).

75 quarterback wins in the first seven seasons (most in NFL history).

A 100.3 passer rating (second-highest ever).

The third-most rushing yards by a quarterback in his first seven seasons: Cam Newton, 4,320; Michael Vick, 3,954; Wilson, 3,651.

Third-most passing touchdowns in the first seven seasons in NFL history: Dan Marino, 220; Peyton Manning, 216; Russell Wilson, 196; Brett Favre, 182.

The most stunning part of all this data is the number of touchdowns in his first seven seasons. Wilson is only 20 behind Manning despite spending so much of his career in run-based offenses.
3. Next big vet QB deal will be Rivers
Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did not attend the start of the team's offseason program this week. It wasn't because of his contract or because his wife, Tiffany, had their 78th child; it was because of a family vacation.

But make no mistake: Rivers is getting an extension. His contract expires at the end of this season, and neither Rivers nor the Chargers want him going into the year without a new deal.

It'll happen. It's just a question of when.
4. A new Andrew Luck?
If you ask a lot of NFL players what one of their biggest offseason challenges is, they will tell you it's turning off their football brains and taking time away from the sport.

Players are high-achievers, and generally, those personalities have a difficult time stepping away. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is one of those players.

The team's general manager, Chris Ballard, challenged Luck to decompress, and as Mike Chappell of CBS4Indy.com notes, Luck accepted the challenge.

"He kind of challenged me to turn my mind off in a sense," Luck said. "It took a while, but I did get away. I feel refreshed. I got a chance to catch up with a lot of family and friends and folks, and obviously getting married. It was a very nice offseason."

If you're a Luck competitor, this is alarming. This should scare the hell out of you.

If he's learned to compartmentalize during the offseason and truly recharge and rest that big brain of his, we could see the most dangerous Luck yet.

One of the first conversations I had with a star player about how important it was to refresh his mind in the offseason, and not just his body, was with Hall of Fame Giants defensive lineman Michael Strahan. He was one of the smartest, most driven and relentless players I've ever been around. Early in his career, he pushed himself constantly in the offseason with film study and worked almost as hard as he did during the season.

Then Strahan realized his mind needed a break too, and learning to step away from the sport, he believed, prolonged his career.

All NFL players are driven. It's what makes them special, but even among that elite group, there are some who work harder than others.

Luck, like Strahan, believed pushing himself constantly, even in the offseason, made him better. More than that, Luck had a hard time stopping himself from obsessing even when the games weren't being played.

"I couldn't get off that high, if that makes sense," Luck told Chappell. "Emotionally it felt weird not going to work for a while. It took a while to say, 'This is OK to reset.' But I do think it was necessary. Also a chance to regroup, refresh."

The challenge of offseason calmness isn't solely about the players putting pressure on themselves. There was a time, in the 1980s and before, when players disappeared for almost the entire offseason. They worked out but were mostly able to chill. In the decades before that, some even had jobs in the offseason.

When teams began requiring players to participate in extensive offseason programs, things changed. Things also changed as players began using more high-tech training methods year-round.

None of this is to say that Luck will now spend all of his offseasons in the pool drinking beer. He will still be the same driven guy. He might just do what he did this offseason, which is take a deep breath.

This could make Luck more dangerous than ever.
5. Cardinals still seem locked on Kyler Murray...
While some mock drafts are starting to show the Arizona Cardinals trading out of the No. 1 overall spot, everything still seems to point to them taking Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray.

Nothing is certain in the draft, and now comes my daily reminder that errrrrrrrrrybody lies around draft time. Yet Murray to the Cardinals seems like the safe bet.
6. ...but watch the Raiders
My belief is the Raiders are not totally sold on Derek Carr as their quarterback of the future. Every time I say this, Raiders fans get irritated and say bad things about my momma.

Yet general manager Mike Mayock and coach Jon Gruden consistently waffle on Carr. It also cannot be emphasized enough that this isn't their roster, and when Gruden traded Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper, he was making a statement that anyone can be usurped.

Michael Gehlken of the Las Vegas-Review Journal reported the Raiders are expected to pass on a first-round quarterback. That might end up being true, but I find it difficult to believe they would rule that out now.

The Raiders have the fourth, 24th and 27th picks in the first round. They have a draft arsenal, and this allows them a great deal of flexibility. Few in the NFL would be surprised if they made a big move up for Ohio State's Nick Bosa or even Murray.
7. Will Jadeveon Clowney's contract get done?
The Texans pass-rusher was franchise-tagged by the team, and his tender is $15.967 million. That won't be enough for a player of his caliber, and as the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson notes,it isn't surprising Clowney is skipping the team's offseason workouts.

This situation should be watched closely. Clowney and his representatives have watched the deals of other great defensive linemen roll in. Mack signed a six-year, $141 million deal, and the Rams' Aaron Donald signed a six-year, $135 million contract.

Clowney is just as impactful as both of those players. He's one of only a handful of defensive stars who affects a game almost like a quarterback.

He will be looking not to get paid but to get paid. Just as he should.
8. Chiefs still waiting on Tyreek Hill case
Tyreek Hill joined the Chiefs this week for their offseason workouts as local authorities investigate an alleged battery of his three-year-old son at Hill's home. The NFL continues to wait for the conclusion of those investigators and then will make its own decision on punishment, if any. It's possible the league will also conduct its own investigation at some point.

The bottom line is that Hill will be with the team until there's some type of official conclusion to this case.

No one in the league (I believe including the Chiefs) has a clue what the investigation is finding. We will likely all know soon enough.
9. NFL players pushing for change
Doug Baldwin Jr @DougBaldwinJr
I agree that discipline is a vital tool in teaching our children how to be healthy and productive members of society. But I believe we must be more intentional and compassionate in our approach. #EndCorporalPunishment @playercoalition https://t.co/qHPty8FrIc

Seahawks receiver Doug Baldwin and Saints linebacker Demario Davis wrote an op-ed for TheHill.com opposing corporal punishment in schools.

First, I didn't even know there was still corporal punishment in schools. Second, it's a really well-reasoned and smart piece.

There continue to be players who use their power to affect societal change. Sometimes we don't acknowledge this enough.
10. Saquon's influence
We know the influence Tiger Woods has had not just on golf but also on American sports.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley isn't as much of an influencer (few humans are), but Barkley has impacted more than just Giants fans. He's got a fan in Woods' caddie, Joe LaCava.

LaCava wore a Barkley jersey under his jumpsuit (is that the proper word?...seems like a very 1960s word) during Woods' Masters win Sunday. He's a huge New York sports fan.

After the Giants win the Super Bowl this season, maybe Barkley can wear a LaCava jersey.

man pretended to be a ride share driver and boonk ganged women's purse and hasn't been caught yet

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Police in Maryland have released surveillance footage in hopes that the public will help them identify a man seen on video attempting to steal a woman's purse after pretending to be a ride-share driver.

It was around 4:46 a.m. on March 30 when the victim, who was returning from a night out, called a ride-sharing service to get her back home, according to the Montgomery County Department of Police.

The man seen in footage released by police Tuesday arrived to the woman's location and the woman, believing that he was her ride-share driver, got into his car, police said.

After the man drove her home to Bethesda, Maryland, he then "demanded" to be paid, officials said. The woman told the driver that she'd already paid him via the ride-share app and that she was not paying him additional money, according to police. In the video, the man wearing a dark hoodie, dark jeans and dark shoes can be seen walking up and talking to the woman as she's entering her building with a key.

"I panicked because my 24/7 concierge was not there, and there was no one outside, there was no one in the lobby," the woman, who spoke to ABC News on the condition of not being named, said. "So I was pretty scared. He proceeded to tell me that I owed him money. I said you can call the police on me but you need to get away, you need to stop."

(Montgomery County Department of Police ) Authorities in Maryland are asking the public's help in identifying a man who pretended to be a ride-share driver and then robbed a robbed a woman in her apartment building.

"The suspect followed the victim into her apartment building and then followed her into an elevator," police said in a statement posted with surveillance video on its YouTube page. "While in the elevator, the suspect unsuccessfully attempted to steal the victim's purse."

Footage from cameras inside the elevator captured the man showing the woman his cellphone repeatedly before finally trying to grab her purse from her. The woman holds on to her purse as she exits the elevator with the suspect still following her and gesturing toward his cellphone.

Though the video footage ended in the elevator, police said the man entered the woman's apartment and "stole property" before leaving.

"I beat myself up everyday," the woman told ABC News. "Why didn't I scream, why didn't I do this? Why didn't I do that? But maybe in the end it was actually to my benefit, which is why he didn't hurt me."

She said the man stole her cellphone so she was unable to check initially if he worked for a ride-share, but once she got a new phone and checked her history, she saw she never confirmed her request for a car.

"Further investigation by detectives determined that the suspect did not work for any ride-sharing companies," police said in a statement.

Police urged the public to call the Major Crimes Division at 240-773-5100 if they had any information about the suspect seen in the surveillance footage or the robbery.

Canadian authorities saw surveillance footage of a suspect who shot a women with crossbow while he posed as a delivery person.The women is left with life-threatening injuries.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Canadian authorities have released surveillance footage of a suspect who shot a woman with a crossbow on her front porch while posing as a delivery person.

The video, released Monday, showed a masked man approaching the 44-year-old woman's home near Toronto with a large cardboard box in his hand and a hidden crossbow. He rang the doorbell, chatted with the woman for a few moments and fired an arrow into her chest, leaving her with life-threatening injuries.

Officers with the Peel Regional Police are investigating the November 2018 attack as an attempted murder and asked for the public's help with identifying the suspect, who ran and fled the scene in a vehicle parked nearby. He is still on the run.

(Peel Regional Police) Canadian authorities released surveillance footage on Monday, April 15, 2019, showing a suspect who shot a woman with a crossbow on her front porch.

"The victim suffered massive trauma that was both life-threatening and life-altering," Peel Regional Police Superintendent Heather Ramore said at a news conference Monday. "It is clear that this attack was meant to end the victim's life."

Ramore said the suspect may have been hired to carry out the attack.

"Comments that were made to the victim by the suspect indicate that the victim was targeted and that the suspect may have carried out the attack at the request of another individual," Ramore said. "This was not a random act."

Investigators declined to offer details about the victim, citing the ongoing investigation, but said she did not know her assailant.

(Peel Regional Police) Canadian authorities released surveillance footage on Monday, April 15, 2019, showing a suspect who shot a woman with a crossbow on her front porch.

Peel Regional Police Detective Sgt. Jim Kettles said the woman spent several months in the hospital and will be "in a recovery phase for the rest of her life."

"The injuries that she sustained were absolutely devastating. It involved damage to a lot of her internal organs," Kettles said. "She'll be still undergoing medical treatment for her injuries. Her life will never be the same."

The department said it released the video in the hopes that someone may recognize the suspect.

A teenage hunter on Colorado has been fined almost $20,000 for shooting, killing and abandonment of a moose last November.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A 19-year-old hunter in Colorado has been fined nearly $20,000 after shooting, killing and abandoning a moose in November 2018.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) was tipped off about the young man's actions by a fellow hunter who found the dead moose, according to a news release. Officials responded to the scene and recovered a .270 caliber bullet from the animal's spoiled carcass. Along with the tracks of the suspect's boots, police were able to use the bullet to positively identify the hunter who shot the moose at a nearby hunting camp.

The man admitted to shooting the moose while out hunting elk, though he said the animal was too far away to positively be identified. He did not have a moose hunting license.
TENNESSEE HUNTER BAGS RARE WHITE 'TURKEY OF A LIFETIME'
On Aug. 9, Callan Hyatt pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor violations, including hunting in a careless manner, failing to locate wounded game, failing to dress wildlife, illegal possession of wildlife and hunting without a license, according to CPW.

Hyatt was sentenced to pay almost $10,000 in fines, in addition to a mandatory $10,000 fine for killing a bull moose that would qualify as trophy game. He also faces a possible five-year suspension of his hunting and fishing privileges in 47 states.

"We understand hunting mistakes and accidents will happen, but we expect sportsmen and women to take immediate responsibility for their actions," said CPW District Wildlife Officer Jeff Behncke in the news release.

"Thankfully the vast majority of hunters are ethical and do the right thing in cases like this; unfortunately, there are a few that may prefer to try and evade authorities. We offer everyone this advice; if you accidentally kill the wrong species, you should call us right away and field dress the animal immediately so that it does not spoil."

Behncke suggested that hunters who follow the regulations for killing the wrong species in Colorado may be subject to fines of only $70.50, rather than $20,000.
