‘I’m So Sick Of This Gaslighting’: WNBA Fans Blast Sue Bird For Supporting Katie Nolan’s Divisive Rant About The Caitlin Clark Effect

WNBA legend Sue Bird is under fire, following a podcast moment that many viewed as a slight dig at Clark and her growing fanbase. Clark fans always accuse former legends such as Bird of downplaying Clark’s impact on the WNBA since she arrived. The fans attribute everything from private plane travel to increased ratings and viewership to the former Iowa star, basically spinning a narrative that the WNBA was nothing before Clark arrived. 

The controversy erupted from an episode with Katie Nolan that dropped last Thursday, where she discussed the league’s various tensions and divisive narratives from last season without naming Clark specifically.

Caitlin Clark Fans React To Katie Nolan Comments On “The Casuals” Podcast With Sue Bird

Most viewers automatically assumed Clark was the Nolan’s target given her centralized role in every huge WNBA story. She was also at the center of controversy and forced to respond to accusations of racism among her supporters.

Nolan said: “I feel like we had one of those particular growing pains, where some of the people that are coming in and watching the sport, and are fans of the sport, I feel like maybe, they’re there for a weird reason. And now they’ve found, maybe one player to hyperfixate on that they feel stands at odds with what a “WNBA player” is in their minds, and they passionately love that player in a way that actually just feels like hate being disguised that they want to have against the rest of the league.”

“They have no reverence for the fact that, like buddy, this conversation’s been going on without you for years and years and years and now you come in here and think that you can…just because you love this one player, and this one player is very good. She’s very, very good. And I would love to just openly love them. Those are the types of moments that as a woman’s sports fan I just really bristle against. I hate that we have to go through this, but we do have to go through this.”

Fans Blast Sue Bird For Feeding Into Divisive Conversation Alluding To Caitlin Clark’s Impact on WNBA

Fans also acknowledged that Bird was very into the conversation, smiling, chuckling and nodding her head in agreement while Nolan took her subliminal shots at The Caitlin Clark Effect. Bird has said some complimentary things about Clark in the past, but she’s also made some questionable comments upon Clark’s arrival in the league that 

“Sue bird is a double agent,” one fan said on X/Twitter. Sick of you mfs thinking CC fans chose women’s basketball of all things to “pretend to like”, with other sports we could watch on some weekends/things we could do, we CHOSE watching CC play basketball on many of those because She’s EXCITING! That’s IT!

Most fans agreed that it was a shady move and another example of the WNBA being unable to get out of its own way when it comes to dealing with Caitlin Clark’s tremendous brand, which has often overshadowed the entire league. Alienating a fanbase that is actually helping the league isn’t the answer. 

“Katie Nolan is a miserable human,” one fan said on X.” Same reason why so much of the W is unlikable. CC moves the needle. She brings people in just like MJ, Steph, Tiger, Serena then it spreads from there. Love so many players who seem to be lovely humans. AB, Kelsey, Lexie, Sophie, Syd, Tash, Aari.

“I have never been more angry bro,” said one fan in response to Nolan’s comments. 

“That’s so right. The average guy choosing to watch WBB in the middle of the summer because they love a certain player is a good thing right?  If it was for hate I’m thinking the average guy may find something else to do in July. Dear lord… what are they talking about?”

Said another fan:

“Sue Bird should be ashamed for having a podcast with the same old tired talking points. No one that I know has ever said players that came before CC were trash. This CC fans are problems is not true. Ask Jonquel Jones. She said she likes playing in Indiana because of their fans.”

On the flip side, presenting an image that one player carries the whole weight in a league that houses 156 women and 13 teams and is expanding over next few seasons, isn’t a good perception as Collective Bargaining Agreements continue and players are demanding higher salaries and a larger cut of the overall revenue.

Why Will Sue Bird Be Working With Caitlin Clark In 2028 Olympic Games ?

So we understand why players and WNBA executives like Bird, particularly in her role as managing director of the USA women’s national basketball team, don’t want to express any bias towards one player.  

In this role, she will be responsible for identifying the coaching staff and players (such as Caitlin Clark)  for major international competitions, including the upcoming 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics. 

Bird is a five-time Olympic gold medalist and 13-time WNBA All-Star and she aims to continue the legacy of the USA women’s national team, which has won every Olympic gold medal dating back to 1996.

Caitlin Clark fans made up their minds a long time ago that anything said about the pony-tail-rocking, sharp-shooting 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year that isn’t adulation is a false misrepresentation of her worth.

Bird and other informed members of the WNBA community have had to tread lightly when trying to acknowledge Clark while not discrediting past pioneers.

Though Clark’s identity remained concealed, her tribe felt the remarks were a direct shot at her again. Somehow blaming her popularity and captivating court swag for the WNBA’s social media ills. Rather than praise her for elevating the sport.

Sue Bird Attacked In Past For Comments On Caitlin Clark Effect

Bird, her former teammate Diana Taurasi and most recently, 2025 WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, had been forced to respond to accusations of being “petty and jealous” toward Clark on previous occasions.

But let’s not forget Bird was the one who also said that Clark’s fan base didn’t bring racism to the WNBA. Some listeners criticized Bird for gatekeeping, while others accused her of fueling the divide that exists in the WNBA fan base.

“I’m done with this damn podcast. I do not trust Sue Bird,” one user posted. Another added, “My love is actually hate? ! ? I’m so sick of this faux psychology and gaslighting bull—-.”

Another dismissed Bird’s comments as “a wild mischaracterization of the problem,” accusing prominent voices like Nolan’s of framing these discussions and blaming the fans. 

Bird credited Clark’s game, her maturity during an injury-plagued season that limited her to 13 games and her leadership in contributing to a championship run from the bench. “I thought what was most impressive was the way she stayed engaged,” Bird said. None of Clark’s fans remember that for some reason.

‘Worst Starting Quarterback’: Fans War Over Shedeur Sanders Being Top 10 In Pro Bowl QB Voting Outpacing Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow

The ups and downs of Shedeur Sanders’ rookie season in the NFL and the fever-pitched discussions surrounding his fifth-round draft plummet and tumultuous time with the Cleveland Browns has filled the news pages, blogs and debate shows with fodder for days. 

RELATED: Shedeur Sanders Denies Buying $500K Rolls Royce, Saying “It’s Another Lie…I’m Focused On My Team Not a Car Purchase”

From his career day against the Las Vegas Raiders to a career-worst performance the following week against the surging Chicago Bears, Shedeur always steps to the microphone and speaks his truth. 

Shedeur Sanders Top 10 Quarterback In Pro Bowl Voting So Far: More Votes Than Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts

Whether you like him or hate him (there doesn’t seem to be an in-between) Shedeur’s impact on the fans – particularly the younger generation – is undeniable. 

Despite making just four career starts and playing in five games for the 3-11 Cleveland Browns, Sanders is currently 10th in Pro Bowl voting among quarterbacks. The rookie, who was thrown into the fire with no starting reps in the third quarter of a game against the Ravens after starter Dillon Gabriel was knocked out, has thrown for five touchdowns with six interceptions for 946 total yards. He 1-3 as a starter. 

Sanders inexplicably ranks ahead of established NFL superstar quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and reigning Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts. Also, Baker Mayfield and established first-round young gunners such as Bryce Young, C.J. Stroud, and Bo Nix, whose team is alone atop the NFL at 12-2. 

Pro Bowl players are determined by a vote of fans, coaches and fellow players, with each group’s vote counting as one-third toward determining the selections. As far as rookie QBs are concerned, Jaxson Dart and Cam Ward are also getting out-voted by Sanders. Both have played more games and posted better statistics.

NFL Fans React To Shedeur Sanders Top 10 In Pro Bowl Votes For Quarterbacks

Shedeur Sanders fans familiar with his rough road to this point celebrated his voting position.

“Shedeur Sanders is keeping the haters big mad,” one Shedeur fan wrote on X. 

“I’m all for this because of what the NFL did to him,” another Shedeur fan said. 

“I’m about to go vote for him right now.  Ya can stay mad,” a third fan wrote.

Then, of course there were people so incensed by the fact that Shedeur is a likeable guy with a load of potential and probably a long career as a quarterback in the NFL, that they spew words with an obvious dissension that is hard to understand. 

“He is just like Bronny James. Way overhyped just because  of who his Dad is, and media buzz,” said a fan on X. 

“This is why letting fans vote for this is silly,” said one netizen, upset with the love Shedeur is getting from fans. 

“Easily the worst starting QB in the league, but his fans think he is a franchise guy and a pro bowler. They have excuses for everything. This guy can’t even keep his wristband on,” another fan complained. 

“Cleveland should trade him!!!,” another anti-Shedeur fan quipped.

ESPN Jeff Saturday Says Kevin Stefanski Handling Of Shedeur Sanders Is ‘Malpractice’

Sanders has been thrown into a situation that would crush most rookies.

ESPN’s Jeff Saturday said Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski should be led out the door for “malpractice” with the way he handled Shedeur, who went into training camp as the Browns’ fourth-string quarterback.

After an offseason of certain fans and analysts justifying his selection as the 144th best player in the 2025 NFL Draft, Sanders put in work as the franchise continued to show why it has just three playoff appearances in 22 seasons by underperforming on the field and in its executive offices.  

With a few games left in the season, including what should be an ugly affair against a Buffalo Bills team thirsty to get into better position for a Super Bowl run and possibly even catch the NEW England Patriots in the AFC East, Shedeur has an opportunity to bolster his Pro Bowl campaign. 

Shedeur Ranked Third Among NFL Draft Prospects In Preseason Jersey Sales

Despite the backlash and character assassination campaign, Shedeur still had one of the highest selling jerseys in the Spring. As a starter, he continues to move the needle when it comes to explosive NFL stories. In addition, Shedeur has a huge fan base that continues to grow. I’d bet that his fan votes were overwhelming, thus his position as a Top 10 quarterback that they want to see in a Pro Bowl. 

RELATED: ‘He’s Definitely Been A Supporter’: The Love Affair Between President Trump and Shedeur Sanders Is Prime Example Of Why Sports and Politics Don’t Mix

He also continues to receive support from President Donald Trump, who called out the owners as “stupid” for letting Shedeur drop so far in the draft. Then after his 364 =yard and three TD passing performance against the raiders, Trump posted: 

“Shedeur Sanders was GREAT. Wins first game, career start, as a pro (for Cleveland). Great Genes. I TOLD YOU SO!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The numbers speak for themselves, and Sanders remains a talent that the fans want to see on the field. Not for a game or two but for the long haul and given a chance to earn all of the love and respect he’s already getting from NFL fans.

‘Mistress Paige Is After Big Pocket University’: Fans Doubt Claims By Lawyer That Sherrone Moore Was ‘Very Dangerous’ With ‘Long History Of Domestic Violence’

Court documents show that the Michigan executive assistant, Paige Shiver, who recently ended a two-year affair with ex-Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore described a harrowing tale to law enforcement of an unhinged Moore grabbing butter knives from a drawer and pointing them at her after storming into her apartment uninvited.

Paige Shiver’s Lawyer Calls Sherrone Moore ‘Very Dangerous’

RELATED: ‘Crash Out’: Prior To Michigan Firing and Knife Wielding, Sherrone Moore Allegedly Forced Mistress Paige Shiver To Terminate Pregnancy Then Doubled Her Salary

In legal transcripts, her lawyer Heidi Sharp, describes Moore as a “very dangerous” man. 

Before Moore was publicly charged last Friday, Detective Jessica Welker of the Pittsfield Township Police Department offered her sworn testimony concerning the actions underlying the ultimate charges during a “complaint authorization hearing.”

Magistrate Odetalla proceeded over the hearing before Moore was formally charged. Detroit Free Press obtained a transcript. Moore ultimately didn’t get charged with assault.

Michigan Police: Shiver Initially Said Sherrone Moore Was Attacking Her 

According to court transcripts, law enforcement “dispatch,” indicating the executive assistant’s lawyer first called police, saying, “her client had called her saying Sherrone Moore was inside of her home, attacking her.”

That proved to be false. 

The transcript later indicates police met Shiver’s lawyer Heidi Sharp, at the Michigan football executive assistant’s Ann Arbor apartment. That’s where another layer of the case took shape. Details that would better ensure that these current charges were as harsh as possible.

Paige Shiver’s Lawyer Heidi Sharp Accuses Sherrone Moore Of Past Domestic Abuse 

When they arrived, the lawyer “advised that Moore had a long history of domestic violence against (the executive assistant),” and that the 39-year-old coach was “very dangerous.”

We had never heard about Moore’s relationship with Shriver until she turned informant and his termination from Michigan hit the social media mosh pit. So nobody knows the dynamics of their relationship over the two-year span that is being reported.

Detective Welker Describes Alleged Confrontation 

Detective Welker, provides some disturbing details from the alleged confrontation, saying: 

“(The executive assistant) advised that she continued to back up, telling him to leave, and he continued towards her with the knives, backing her towards the living room,” the transcript states.

“(The executive assistant) advised that she was trying to call her attorney, and it wasn’t until she got her attorney on the phone and put her on speaker — and Moore heard her voice — that he immediately backed up and turned the knives on himself, pointing them at his neck, saying that he was going to kill himself and that she was going to watch.”

Detective Welker further describes her interpretation of the events per Shriver. 

Paige Shiver’s lawyer, Heidi Sharp said Sherrone Moore was a dangerous man with a history of domestic violence against her client, prior to him being charged. Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit said there was not “sufficient evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, an intent to assault or batter the victim.” (Screenshot/News)

“(The woman) advised that she was carrying her belongings downstairs to leave, and while inside of her apartment she heard footsteps outside. (She) indicated that she ran towards the door to secure it, but before she could, Mr. Moore swung the door open and barged into her apartment with tears in his eyes,” the court document reads.

“(The woman) indicated that she was approximately 5 feet from the door when he made entry. She advised that she began backing up and as he was approaching her. (She) advised that Moore grabbed two knives out of her drawer and pointed them at her, ‘You ruined my life. You ruined my life.’”

Judge Doesn’t Find Enough Evidence To Charge Sherrone Moore With Assault 

Shiver’s lawyer also provided police with text messages purportedly from Moore to the executive assistant. One, allegedly shortly before Moore arrived at the apartment, said, “I hate you. My blood is on your hand.”

Moore, 39, admitted to having an affair and removing the knives and threatening to unalive himself. However, he denied brandishing any weapons or moving aggressively toward Shriver, and insists he was never physical with her, prior to posting a $25K bond on Dec. 12. 

The Detroit Free Press released a statement sent to them by Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit which described his charging decision.

“As was stated at the arraignment (Friday, Dec. 12), the evidence that is available at this time indicates that Mr. Moore had an intent to terrorize and harass the victim — which is the basis for the stalking charge. Given that his statements were those of self-harm, however, there was not sufficient evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, an intent to assault or batter the victim,” Savit said.

“As indicated in our release (Friday) announcing charges against Mr. Moore, this matter remains under active investigation and, as with any case, we may add or amend charges as new evidence comes in.”

Fans Not Sure What To Make Of Domestic Abuse Claims: Is Shiver Setting Up Huge Lawsuit?

Fans had different opinions about the latest details emerging.

“her lawyer alleges,” one cynical fan said on X under a New York Post story on X. “Think she is going to sue the University big pocket big time? I knew this when she said stalking. Mistress Paige said I will not be ignored I want 10 million or leave your ugly wife. No rabbit stew time. Mistress Paige is after the big pocket University.

“Long history means long affair and she should gotten out instead of trying to keep that job with benefits,” another fan suggested, showing no sympathy for Shiver.

“The more info we get on this Michigan situation the more bizarre it gets,” added a third fan, suggesting that something doesn’t seem right with the information coming out.

Question Of Paige Shiver’s Salary Jump Indicates Pay-For-Play

Some salary records published by the university list Moore’s alleged mistress as an administrative specialist. It’s a job description the football department uses to cover a wide variety of roles, with salaries ranging from $44,000 to $360,000.

RELATED: ‘She’s Half Of The Problem’: Paige Shiver Outsmarted Sherrone Moore By Breaking Up, Snitching and Weaponizing School Policy To Keep Her Plush Job

Shiver moved up the ladder quickly, with her current salary listed as $99,000. Records indicate that Shiver, who is still employed at Michigan, began at the school with a salary of $58,000 before being increased to $90,000 last year and then to her current rate. It’s also interesting that there’s no record of what her actual duties are as an employee.

Speculation on social media suggested that the dramatic salary raise came after Moore made Shiver terminate a pregnancy. That hasn’t been confirmed but the jump in salary can’t be denied. Common sense would tell you there’s  correlation between the two. 

There seems to be plenty of details about the nature of Sherrone Moore and Paige Shiver’s relationship that the public may never be privy too. 

Ring-Thirsty Knicks Fans Embrace ‘Creepy’ Thumb Love Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson Have Because ‘We Don’t Judge The Methods, Just Track The Results’ 

The Knicks know how to turn a potentially great basketball moment into a freak show. Let’s just be honest. They did it last season when obnoxious fans basically rioted in the streets after advancing to the Eastern Conference Championship for the first time since 2000. There were even incidents of harassment outside MSG and other over-the-top behavior, only to lose to the Indiana Pacers with Reggie Miller in attendance and never make it to the NBA Finals.

Josh Hart Sticks Thumb In Jalen Brunson’s Buttocks During 2025 Emirates NBA Cup Championship Celebration Creating Viral Moment

So, when this new Knicks team with first-year head coach Mike Brown and one of the best starting 5’s in the game defeated Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Tuesday night to capture the first NBA Emirates Cup in franchise history, everyone was hoping the fans could temper their enthusiasm. Fortunately, the finals were in Las Vegas and not Manhattan, but Knicks guard Josh Hart found a way to make the entire situation uncomfortable. 

He also helped the Knicks, himself and superstar Jalen Brunson go viral for something that happened on the court during the post-game celebration. As New York partied on the stage following its 124-113 victory at T-Mobile Arena and Karl Anthony Towns lifted the NBA Cup Trophy, Brunson turned to help his No. 2 by turning his backside towards his best buddy Hart. 

For some reason, Hart then grabbed Jalen’s buttocks, poking his finger right in between Jalen’s cheeks. Brunson turned around in shock and gave Hart a look of shock. The moment instantly went viral and Hart, who signed a four-year, $81M extension with the Knicks in 2023, hopped on the X app to lighten the mood and claimed it was A.I.

NBA Fans React To Josh Hart Poking At Teammate Jalen Brunson’s Booty Cheeks

Fans understand that Hart and Brunson are like brothers, first playing together for two seasons at Villanova (2015-17) and winning a national championship.

If you’ve ever watched their “Roomates Show” podcast you know these guys clown around like they are still in college, despite Hart being married and father of twin boys Haze Dana Hart and Hendrix Aaron Hart who were born in May of 2023.Brunson is married to Ali Brunson, and they have a daughter named Jordyn James, born on July 31, 2024.

Knicks’ Jalen Brunson Drops 61 After Asking Teammate Josh Hart, Who Makes $13M Per Season, “So What Do You Get Paid To Do?”

Some fans chalked it up to two friends horsing around and celebrating a great moment in their weird way. Others felt it was definitely weird, but also believe that the 30-year-old Hart was doing too much. 

“Part of the culture,” one fan said, suggesting that it was innocent jock interaction.  

To which another replied, “Based on Jalen’s reaction I don’t think it was part of his, lol.”

“Workplace harassment,” joked another fan on X. 

“How bromantic,” a third fan quipped. 

“Freaky ahh boy,” said one netizen. 

AYO!!!  WTF is going in the NBA!? Josh Hart got some explaining to do and Brunson, too, for not swinging,” a disturbed fan said.

Some fans see a trend and don’t like it. 

“When did this start becoming ok?,” one fan asked. I see kids in high school sports do this all the time to their teammates.”

“I thought this was hilarious. Then I saw Hart’s face when he did it, and it immediately became creepy AF…,” another admitted on X. 

Knicks Fans Want Results, Don’t Care About Thumb Pokes

Knicks fans could care less as their team is winning and proving to be among the elite clubs in the sport. 

“Hey, we don’t judge the methods… we just track the results. And honestly? Whatever is happening in that locker room is working. That chemistry is paying out everywhere.” 

It was an awkward moment, but not too unfamiliar to those who understand jock culture and the wacky brotherhood between Hart and Brunson.

‘She’s Half Of The Problem’: Paige Shiver Outsmarted Sherrone Moore By Breaking Up, Snitching and Weaponizing School Policy To Keep Her Plush Job  

Sherrone Moore‘s life hit rock bottom, and a very important element to his dismissal as Michigan football coach was the complicit nature of staffer Paige Shiver, who is still employed by the school, despite being the key co-conspirator in “an inappropriate relationship” with Moore, a husband and father of three. 

Moore has been dragged through the coals, and the stress of the sudden axing even caused him to have a mental breakdown, go to Shiver’s home and threaten to unalive himself. He’s blown millions of dollars and now has legal hurdles to overcome, a marriage to repair and a reputation to rebuild before he can ever think of coaching again. One thing for sure, it won’t be with Michigan.

Sherrone Moore Mistress Is Still Employed By University of Michigan

Meanwhile, Shiver is back to business as usual. Job and reputation intact, despite conducting a relationship with Moore for several years, while allegedly following his wife on social media and working closely with the football program. She’s definitely not free of sin here. 

However, due to the school’s policy regarding supervisor-employee relationships, the school told USA Today, Shiver’s not at risk of losing her employment. Sinking an entire football program and head coach a few weeks before a Citrus Bowl game against Texas (Dec. 31) and crossing unethical lines in the workplace apparently is not enough for the school to part ways with someone who probably didn’t deserve the job she had considering the nature of the relationship.

As Supervisee Who Self-Reported Intimate Relationship, Paige Shriver Is Free From Termination Under School Policy  

Policy 201.97 details “intimate relationships between supervisors and supervisees,” which Moore’s affair fell under, and states: “A Supervisor may not, implicitly or explicitly, initiate or attempt to initiate an Intimate Relationship with a Supervisee over whom they exercise supervisory authority as defined in Section III.A. of this Policy.”

The guide states that any relationships between a supervisor and employee must immediately be reported to the “immediate superior,” who would then inform an “appropriate Higher Level Administrative Authority” such as a dean or executive director.

Therefore, the obligation to report the improper relationship is on the supervisor — in this case, Moore. Shriver apparently understood the playbook and Moore didn’t. 

According to policy, the couple must also agree to a plan to manage and rectify the infraction, “with the outcome being to remove supervision and/or influence over a Supervisee when an Intimate Relationship exists.”

Michigan’s policy also states there cannot be retaliation against anyone who reports a violation of the school’s protocols for said relationships. Therefore, terminating Moore’s mistress in this specific scenario would have violated the University’s standards, and opened it up to a messy lawsuit. 

Social Media Says Sherron Moore’s Mistress Paige Shiver Should Be Fired Too

The “Bubba Army” podcast was very vocal about Shiver being just as much to blame in this incident, accusing her of spreading information about the intimacies and challenges of her relationship with Moore that lasted “at least a year” 

The account posted a caption above a video clip on X that read: 

“Paige Shiver isn’t “caught in the crossfire.” She’s HALF THE SCANDAL!

She broke the same rules, benefited from a promotion and salary jump, and was at the center of an affair with Sherrone Moore that alumni were tweeting about before the firing even happened.

If he’s out… how is SHE NOT?!”

“Why isn’t Paige Shiver being held accountable as well” one woman asked on X. “She was a willing participant until “allegedly” she was fired and she brought receipts to prove the affair. Paige nor Sherrone Moore are innocent.”

Paige Shiver Was One Step Ahead Of Sherrone Moore 

According to prosecutors, the woman in question reported their relationship to a school official after Moore kept calling and texting her after she allegedly ended the affair. 

“Retaliation against a person who reports a potential violation under this policy, assists someone with a report of a violation, or participates in any manner in an investigation or in the resolution of a report made under this policy is strictly prohibited,” the policy reads. “Retaliation includes, but is not limited to threats, intimidation, reprisals and/or adverse action related to an individual’s employment or education. Adverse action may include inappropriately unfavorable treatment of others as the result of the Intimate Relationship. The University will take appropriate steps to ensure a person who in good faith reports or participates in an investigation pursuant to this policy will not be subject to retaliation.”

According to prosecutors, Paige Shiver reported her inappropriate relationship with former UM HC Sherrone Moore to a school official after Moore allegedly kept calling after she ended the affair. (Screenshot/Instagram)

So basically, the whistleblower gets immunity as long as said whistleblower is a subordinate by title. 

Shiver has not been publicly named by Michigan police, but she has been confirmed as the staffer whose apartment Moore allegedly broke into. With other information leaks, it wasn’t hard to piece the story together. Washtenaw County prosecutors say during the arraignment that the female victim was in an “intimate relationship” with Moore for several years. He confirmed that the confrontation happened at a residence, which public records show belongs to Shiver, two days after the woman called off the affair.

A source told CBS Sports that Moore’s affair was the school’s “worst-kept secret.”

Moore had just one more game left in his second season as the Wolverines’ coach, leading the team to a 9-3 record this year and an 18-8 total record as the team’s leader. Moore signed a five-year contract with a starting salary of $5.5 million. He will leave over $14M of that on the table after his “just cause” designation for the dismissal.

‘I Blame Kim Kardashian For The Women We See Today’: Paul Pierce Blames Iconic Influencer For Plastic Surgery Epidemic, Thirst For Athletes

NBA legend Paul Pierce is not happy with women of this generation’s obsession with plastic surgery, and he blamed Kim Kardashian, the American pop culture icon for influencing this epidemic of physical alterations, asserting that everyone wants to look like her.

Paul Pierce Blames Kim Kardashian For Explosion Of Plastic Surgery

“I blame Kim Kardashian for the women we see today,” Pierce, 48, said on a December 15 episode of his “The Truth After Dark” podcast. “What we glorify on TV when we see these beautiful women with big old sexy lips and these big old eyelashes and eyebrows and butt and lips banging out the window.”

“She is one of the most influential women that ever lived, and you know she had the plastic surgeries and made it cool to do that,” he continued. “I feel like every girl looks like Kim.”

Kim Kardashian Set New Beauty Standard: ‘Give Me The Kim K’

Pierce said women are walking up in their plastic surgeon’s office and saying, “give me the Kim K.”

While Kardashian, 45, has admitted to having several minor cosmetic surgeries such as butt implants, Botox, laser treatments and surgery to have her post-pregnancy stretch marks removed, she has repeatedly denied having significant work done to her face and never had a nose job.

She does, however, consider herself among the 10 percent of people in the world who “genuinely care about looking good,” the KKW Beauty founder told “Allure” for their August 2022 cover story. “I probably care more than 90 percent of the people on this planet. It’s not easy when you’re a mom and you’re exhausted at the end of the day or you’re in school and I’m all of the above. I do my beauty treatments usually late at night. After everyone’s in bed, I’m doing laser treatments.”

Kim K also said in the past that she “never had eyelash extensions. I’ve never done anything. I have a drop of mascara on today. I’ve never filled my cheeks. I’ve never filled my lips.”

Pierce might not know the specifics or extent of work Kim Kardashian has gotten done and that’s really not his point. It’s the way she has influenced other women who may not possess her natural attributes or Armenian roots. 

Pierce continued: 

“Like, damn, everybody wants the straight black hair and the lips and the curvy booty and the eyelashes, and everybody’s cutting their noses up and chin up and cheeks up,” he said. “I blame her for the way our girls are, but now they get out of control with it. They’re like, ‘Give me the Kim K.’ But now they OD it and now they start looking crazy. Like, she is really the reason why the women look the way they look today. Good or bad. That’s just what I feel.”

Social Media Reacts To Paul Pierce Blaming Kim Kardashian For Women’s Obsession With Plastic Surgery 

Some fans agreed with Paul Pierce, while also acknowledging the influence Kim’s younger sisters Kylie and Kendell Jenner have had on society. Khloe has also expressed an appetite int he past for Black pro athletes.

“Kim definitely got these chicks chickening 😂,” said one fan on Instagram. 

“Kim influence on women’s looks was crazy 💯,” one netizen agreed. 

“The fact that homegirl isn’t trying to defend Kim at all tells me everything I need to know and yes Kim Kardashian don’t have them lips but her sister Kylie sure does and we all know those little girls look up to her like crazy,” one netizen quipped. 

According to some fans, Pierce was just stating “The Truth” about the Kardashian’s schooling other women on how to beautify enough to snag a millionaire baller or billionaire provider. 

“The Truth said, what a lot people think inside. Get the tail package, insert some new headlights. Now you ready to finesse a baller, with the baller package,” one fan posted on IG.

“It’s the Kardashian klan as a whole, because although Kim didn’t have the fake full lips, Kylie did. She was even the reason behind “The Kylie Lip Challenge” since 2015, exclaimed another Instagram netizen. 

Fans Say Black Women Influenced Kim Kardashian First

As far as Black cultural influence goes, fans offered the names of women who they feel influenced Kim Kardashian’s look.  

“I mean, Lil Kim came before her tho🤷🏿‍♂️,” one netizen said under a video of Pierce’s comments on IG. 

“Lil Kim was not nearly as influential as Kim Kardashian, nearly every chic out here is trying to replicate her, and they’ve been doing it for years now,” another commenter replied. “And nearly every black man wants a woman that looks like her, especially black men running around LA and California.”

Not sure if he’s referencing Queen Khalifah, the mystical black queen that ruled a State of California inhabited by all women, but that too was refuted by a Kim Kardashian fan.  

“NONE OF THEM…THE BBL x PLASTIC SURGERY GEN WAS INFLUENCED BY KIM KARDASHIAN…BLACK WASNT EVEN GETTING BBLs AND LIP EJECTIONS UNTIL KIM KARDASHIAN…SHE MADE IT A TREND FOR BLACK x ALL WOMEN,” one fan insisted. 

Pro Athletes In Heavy Demand By Women Rap Stars With Plastic Surgery

Rap star Cardi B has had plenty of work done to her face and body. How much she’s willing to admit is another story. She recently had a baby with NFL star Stefon Diggs, and they are allegedly in a committed relationship, recently seen doing Yoga together.

Memphis rap bandit GloRilla has been publicly dating NBA star Brandon Ingram. The rapper reportedly has already gotten her teeth, breast and butt done, and is just getting started.

Megan Thee Stallion, after years of rocky relationships with men considered rough around the edges, has locked down NBA legend Klay Thompson as his illustrious career winds down.

There’s only one way to attract these kinds of men, and that’s being the ultimate eye candy.

Kim Kardashian Once Said She Would Eat Poop Everyday To Look Younger

Kardashian, who shares four kids with ex-husband Kanye West, is still seen as an icon of fashion, branding, beauty and boldness. She’s continued to share herself with the world as she enters middle aged years. She’s starring on “All’s Fair” an American legal drama television series on Hulu, as a high-powered lawyer. In real life, she’s working her way through law school and being honest about the challenges she’s faced raising Northwest and her other children without having a good relationship with their father.

You never know when the next love interest, opportunity or Paparazzi is lurking and Kim K stays ready for any situation. If that includes a nip and a tuck here and there, so be it.  

“If you told me that I literally had to eat poop every single day and I would look younger, I might,” Kardashian told ‘The New York Times’ in 2022. “I just might.”

That dedication to creating a perfect image is what Pierce says has been influencing the younger generations.

“I Can’t Believe You’d Wait To Attack Me Like That’: Alleged Text Messages Leak Of Sherrone Moore Confronting Ruthless IG Model

What began as a simple workplace scandal that led to the firing of former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore has taken on a soap opera feel with breaking and entering, threats of unaliving and hard-to-decipher rumors, confirmations and denials about an elicit relationship with OnlyFans model Mia Sorety.

(Screenshot: Mia Sorety (L) at a Michigan football game and Sherron Moore (R) in jail)

Sherrone Moore’s Alleged Text Message Immediately After His Arrest Has Leaked

A text message that Moore allegedly sent to an Only Fans model that was making damaging public claims about him after his release from jail, has been leaked according to reports by Yahoo! Sports. 

Reports have surfaced of a communication from Moore to Sorety, denying the claims and allegedly telling the Instagram model:

“I can’t believe you’d wait to attack me like that. I just want to say I’m focused on family and God and I wish you nothing but the best.”

Kelli Moore Is Standing By Her Man

Family and God is exactly what Moore needs to be focused on right now and he’s lucky to have both still in his life. Earlier this week, after Moore was released from custody, he was spotted with his wife of 10 years, Kelli and their youngest child leaving a lawyer’s office in Michigan.

“The couple put on a united front after being seen for the first time since the scandal broke, with Moore making threats to k*ll himself after his firing,” the Daily Mail reported.

Reports say, “Moore pushed a stroller with a pink blanket after having a meeting with his lawyer for around two hours, with Kelli walking a few steps behind him. It is the first time that the couple have been seen since his explosive firing and arrest, with neither issuing a statement on the incident.”

In between, the dejection of losing his dream job, the embarrassment of his affair with staffer Paige Shriver gone public, and the criminal charges Moore is now facing, his wife of 10 years, Kelli and his three daughters were also devastated by the negative ramifications of Moore’s actions.

OnlyFans Model Mia Sorety Used Relationship With Sherron Moore To Clout Chase Off His Troubles

Runors surfaced that Moore was pursuing $3M per year OnlyFans model and Michigan fan Mia Sorety and even offered season tickets for a foursome. While Sorety admits that Moore pursued her and contacted her on Instagram after his firing and arrest, she denies that he offered her tickets in exchange for a foursome.

After getting more recognition than she deserved off the pain of Moore and his family, the clout-chasing Sorety blamed the circulation of the false information on her ex-assistant. She explained that it was a miscommunication of sorts, and made several clarifications and apologies on social media.

Moore was fired by Michigan on December 10 and then was arrested on charges of trespassing and stalking. The former Michigan coach, who was 18–8 in his two seasons after serving under current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh for years, was fired for having an “inappropriate” relationship with staff member Paige Shiver over a number of years. The couple allegedly covered for each other and Moore even doubled Shiver’s salary as the relationship progressed, according to alleged receipts. 

A week after she allegedly broke off the relationship, Shiver also turned whistleblower and put the finishing touches on an internal university investigation into the alleged affair, by confirming the relationship with the school.

‘Yelling At The Ref’: Kelsey Plum and Paige Bueckers Exploited Caitlin Clark’s Defense At Team USA Training, But She’s ‘Still Ramping Up Injury Wise’ 

The USA Women’s National Team held a three-day training camp in Durham, North Carolina, mixing all-star WNBA veterans like Jackie Young, Kelsey Plum, and Chelsea Gray with rising stars Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston, Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Lauren Betts and Rickea Jackson. Paige Beuckers was also in the mix and her all-around skills stood out among the league’s finest talents. 

RELATED: Paige Bueckers Made Sure She Showed The Respect To GOAT Sheryl Swoopes That Caitlin Clark Fans Did Not

Per usual, Team USA has a deep talent pool of women’s basketball players as the team has won every Olympics gold medal dating back to 1996. The three-day pow wow along Tobacco Road excited fans, especially because it gave many their first glimpse of CC going at full speed against competition. 

The WNBA’s most popular player and 2024 Rookie of the Year hasn’t been seen on a basketball court at 100 percent since July 15, 2025 against the Connecticut Sun. Just 13 games into the season. Clark played the role of spectator and referee antagonizer for the rest of the season. 

Caitlin Clark returned to the basketball court after a 5.5-month break rehabbing lower body injuries suffered during the 2025 WNBA season, which limited her to 13 games. She is still showing signs of defensive rust at Team USA training according to reports. (Photo by Jacob Kupferman/Getty Images)

Reporters Say Caitlin Clark Was Hitting Step Back Threes, Still Beefing With Refs At Team USA Training

It’s good to see Clark is rounding into form. Reports out of that training camp says Clark was in peak form as far as barking at the referees are concerned. 

On the No Offseason edition of ‘The Athletic Women’s Basketball Show,’ reporter Sabreena Merchant discussed what she saw in the long–awaited return of Caitlin at Team USA camp

“Caitlin starts guarding Kelsey and Kelsey keeps knocking her off the ball and Caitlin gets called for a foul and she starts yelling at the refs, she’s grabbing me,” Merchant said, describing the level of competitiveness.

Caitlin Clark Hasn’t Played In Competitive Pro Game Since July

“She’s suffered a lot of injuries in her sophomore season,” Merchant continued. “This is her first real 5-on-5 action since that (lower body) injury with the (Indiana) Fever and there was a combination of USA players vs USA players and USA players going against a scout team. She looked like Caitlin, the step back three was there, the passes were there. When she wasn’t playing with Aliyah Boston some of the big didn’t know what to do with her passes.”

Merchant express some surprise that Caitlin would be going this hard this early.  

“FIBA is a lot more physical than other levels of basketball even the WNBA,” Merchant told the podcast. “So having to see Caitlin go at scout team players who are instructed to play at a FIBA level of physicality is interesting considering how long she’s been out and the fact that she’s still ramping up injury wise. She was just happy to be back…be part of the basketball process.” 

That apparently includes being very vocal, but she definitely has some competition from the rambunctious Kelsey Plum in those regards. Plum is a veteran of USA Basketball, having won a 3×3 gold medal in 2020 and following that up as a member of the 2024 5×5 legendary Olympic team that ran the table, winning its ninth gold and eight straight.  

Indy Reporter Describe Watching Caitlin Clark Try To Defend Kelsey Plum and Paige Bueckers As ‘Funny’ And ‘Telling’

Indy star reporter Annie Costabile got an up close look at Cailtin and offered her opinion, particularly when she went up against Kelsey Plum and Paige Beuckers.  

Costabile said:

“That shot of hers that we’re all so familiar with is very much so there. Her speed is coming back. Her timing on passing was still effective. Defensively, anyone who watched Caitlin’s game knows that is an area where she needs to improve. Watching her go up against Kelsey was funny…and still knowing that she had this rust to shake off was a bit telling.”

Seeing her and Paige go against each other, don’t think it’s a matter of one versus the other, you’re watching and evaluating how these two players are going to work together one day. 

Team USA Women’s Basketball Has Won Eight Straight Gold Medals Dating Back To 1996

This combination of players is being lauded as the most talented Team USA team yet. That will ultimately be decided in how thoroughly they obliterate other squads. The 1996 team that started this Olympic gold-medal winning streak that will be over 30 years running by the time the final team is selected to go to Los Angeles and snatch another gold, was a Dream Team of talent in itself. And to tell you the truth, every season after. 

The 1996 Dream Team in Atlanta was as dominant as it was popular, winning the gold medal in its home country, in front of sell-out crowds. Legends like Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes, Katrina McClain, Ruthie Bolton, Teresa Edwards, Nikki McCray, Jennifer Azzi, Dawn Staley and Rebecca Lobo were all on the same team. (Screenshot/Team USA)

Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark. Kelsey Plum. Paige Bueckers. The saga continues. All on the same team. Let’s see if these fan bases, who are used to going at each other’s throats, can call a peace treaty during FIBA play.

‘Better Than Luka…Nico Was Right’: Cooper Flagg’s Record 42-Point Explosion Has Fans Calling Him ‘White LeBron’ and Sending Apologies To Former GM Nico Harrison 

The Dallas Mavericks aren’t winning many games, but the emergence of rookie Cooper Flagg has put the NBA world on notice and the future in Dallas is bright less than a season after franchise player Luka Doncic was traded to Los Angeles in a swap that rocked the world and eventually led to General Manager Nico Harrison’s inevitable firing earlier this season. 

RELATED: Can Cooper Flagg and Caitlin Clark Save American Basketball?

Despite all of the backlash and calls for his job, Harrison knew the golden nugget in that Doncic trade was Duke rookie Flagg if they could nab the No.1 pick. Whether you believe it was luck, destiny or pre-ordained, Dallas hit the jackpot and selected Flagg to launch a new era. The Mavericks are 12th out of 15 teams in the Western Conference with a 10-17 record. However, Flagg’s game has exploded after a slow start where Mavs coach Jason Kidd had him playing out of position at point guard.

Cooper Flagg’s 42-Points Against Utah Is A NBA For 18-Year-Old, Surpassing LeBron’s 37

In Dallas’ 140-133 overtime loss to Utah on Monday, Flagg scored the most points ever by an 18-year-old in an NBA game. His 42 points (seven rebounds and six assists) surpassed the previous record of 37 set by LeBron James in 2003.

Flagg has scored 20 or more points in five of his past seven games, and he is averaging 25.7 points per game during the stretch. The rookie was proud of his accomplishment, but the loss tempered his enthusiasm, telling reporters, “Obviously, we didn’t win. So, it’s tough for me to want to be happy or any of that. But obviously, it’s a success.”

Cooper Flagg Becomes Third Teenager In NBA History To Record 40 Points, 5 Rebounds, 5 Assists In Game 

Flagg’s coming out party put him in rarified air as a teenager, joining legends Kevin Durant and James. The No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft was lauded with the usual hype descriptions coming out of Duke. Some said he was “generational” and others called the 6-foot-9 multi-faceted baby baller, who’s just turning 19 on Dec. 21, the next great White hooper.

RELATED: Is Cooper Flagg The Next Larry Bird ?: He Gave Team USA Numbers

The greatest one birthed on American soil, since Larry Bird. Who knew it would be a kid from Newport, Maine of all places? Bird put French Lick, Indiana on the map. Flagg is doing the same for his hometown, which is not considered a basketball breeding ground.  

Fans Are Now Saying Former GM Was Right To Trade Luka, Draft Cooper

Flagg’s impact as a brand and the interest fans immediately take in his career was obvious dating back to one season at Duke. Now he’s actually living up to his potential, averaging 18.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game, elevating him to the top of the Rookie of the Year conversation. 

Fans are talking.

“The fans who claimed he would be a bust have been real quiet of late.” said one Flagg fan. 

“That boi really is the White LeBron. This draft class looking like 2003 and 1996 best draft classes ever,” added another excited fan. 

“18 years old Cooper Flagg is better than 18 years old Michael Jordan,” one Flagg supporter exclaimed. 

“I’m starting to like to watch this guy,” said one hoops fan on Facebook. “Better than Luka. This guy was a smooth criminal. Kyrie not even back yet. What if Nico was right.” 

Cooper Flagg Is Much Younger, More Versatile Than Luka Doncic

Harrison was fired by the Dallas Mavericks after a disappointing 3-8 start to the 2025-26 NBA season. The decision followed his highly scrutinized decision to trade superstar Luka Dončić last season, which came a little more than a year after Harrison received a contract extension.

Fans lost their minds and Harrison, who fell on the sword and accepted all of the blame for trading Luka away, used the popular phrase, “Defense wins championships” which most perceived as a knock on the scoring machine’s lack of a defensive prowess. 

RELATED: ‘This Is Loser Behavior’ | Dallas Mavericks Fans Blast Man Who Ran Up On GM Nico Harrison While He Was Having Dinner With Family

Assistant GMs Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi took over on an interim basis. Harrison was roasted on social media by fans who believed that he woke up one day on his own and decided to trade the NBA’s current scoring leader (34.7 points per game) because he’s inept. 

So after the dust cleared and things fell into place for everybody, it was basically trading away a one-dimensional superstar for the No. 1 overall pick; a much younger and versatile player, who also has a strong defensive backbone and is getting buckets as a rookie on a compromised team during a very tumultuous season. The stroke of luck has fans re-assessing their emotion-driven treatment of the talented GM. 

Was Nico Harrison Just A Fall Guy For Ownership?

Back in November of 2025, as Mavs fans still hurt by the Doncic trade celebrated Harrison’s dismissal, Rob Parker said Harrison was just the fall guy, taking responsibility for decisions that ownership made about parting ways with Luka. 

“This was the same general manager who led his team to the NBA Finals in 2024,” ‘The Odd Couple’ host ranted. “He is being used as a scapegoat. He traded Luka Doncic not because he wanted to trade him but because ownership didn’t want to pay him. Those are the facts.” 

“It ain’t like he’s got the team he put together,” Parker continued. “If he had that team together and they were 3-11 (that’s different) …AD’s hurt, Kyrie’s hurt. Cooper Flagg, out of position.” 

If Flagg continues to develop at this rate and fans continue to galvanize behind his rise, putting him in conversations with the all-time greats before he’s ever played 30 NBA games, then that energy for Flagg can’t do anything but boost Harrison’s decision to trade Luka. this would also change the negative narrative that drove Harrison out of town just two seasons after going to the NBA finals. 

That’s why in sports they play the entire game and don’t award anyone a trophy until the final tick on the clock. Did The Mavericks panic by firing Nico? Maybe that’s just how ownership always planned it.

‘That Was Classless’: Diego Pavia Apologized, But Cam Newton and Stephen A. Smith Think Vandy QB Might Have Blown His 2026 NFL Draft Hopes With Lewd Heisman Post

After falling short in the Heisman Trophy race, Diego Pavia made sure he went out in style and typical to the standard that his family has set as uninhibited straight shooters who seek out smoke wherever they can find it. Usually at the bottom of a bottle in the case of Pavia’s brothers. Mom is cool. She just likes to twerk it up at the games and feed off the energy. The cameras fell in love with her to the point that College Football Analyst Joey Galloway expressed his annoyance with her multiple cameos during the game.

A polarizing family no doubt, with the talented Pavia driving the media train with his stellar play. As the 2026 NFL Draft looms, reports say Pavia isn’t even guaranteed to get drafted and his latest reaction to the Heisman voting won’t garner him any points with scouts. 

Diego Pavia Takes Heisman Loss To Fernando Mendoza Hard: Sends Flagrant Message To Voters Via Social Media

The Vanderbilt quarterback sent a flagrant message to voters after Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, a projected top 10 pick in the NFL Draft, took home the prestigious award on Saturday night in New York City. 

The Vandy Dandy Pavia took to social media following his Heisman Trophy loss, reposted a photo of himself posing with a few of his Commodores’ teammates and captioned the message with a direct shot at the voters.

“F- all the voters, but family for life,” Pavia wrote, accompanied by a thumbs down emoji.

Cam Newton, Stephen A. Smith Blast Pavia’s Behavior Over Losing Heisman

Cam Newton and ESPN’s $100M Man Stephen A. Smith had some elderly advice for the NFL hopeful on “Monday’s “First Take” episode.

“I’m one of those voters, Diego,” said Newton, the 2010 Heisman winner. “When you start to think about these types of actions, there’s a quote that says, ‘Do not do anything that you’re going to end up apologizing for.’ Diego, that was classless. That was senseless.”

Newton emphasized that Pavia’s actions could lead to long-term ramifications, particularly as he looks toward a future at the professional level as a prospect that most draft analysts describe as a border line draft pick. Perception matters, ask Shedeur Sanders.

“You don’t handle business like that accordingly, especially if you want to be a potential franchise quarterback,” Newton added. “That is not the type of behavior that’s going to get you far.”

SAS says Pavia, 24, is old enough to know better.

In response, Stephen A. Smith echoed the criticism but placed responsibility squarely on Pavia himself:

“He’s old enough to know better,” Smith said. “I’m not going to blame his family or his friends. He did that on his own.”

“He didn’t deserve it?” Smith asked. “And then you’re in the club posting like that — how do you think NFL teams are going to judge that?”

Diego Pavia Says He’s “Undoubtedly The Best Player In College Football”

The race wasn’t close as the 23-year-old signal caller finished a distant second to Mendoza. Out of 930 ballots, Mendoza collected a total of 643 first-place votes compared to Pavia’s 189. Mendoza lifted the Hoosiers to a perfect 13–0 record, a Big Ten title and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. 

With Pavia’s NFL prospects already questionable, or uncertain at the least. His combined performance, interviews and workouts will be crucial as he goes forward with his dream of becoming a pro. Fans immediately started clowning him with one posting a graphic of suggested spots for employment for Pavia after college in light of his recent F -u to the Eisman visitors.  

The person who made the post wrote: 

“Diego Pavia has a BIG decision to make after the bowl game.” 

Then he offered a list of jobs; Footlocker, GameStop, Kroger, Car Mechanic, which the fans undoubtedly ate up, offering their choices on what job would be best suited for Pavia after he meets Iowa in the ReliaQuest Bowl  

“Sources say the Browns are very interested,” one fan joked. 

“He seems perfect for the Raiders,” quipped another. 

“Low class, big mouth, limited talent….but thinks he’s awesome,” a third fan added. 

“Car mechanic is actually a pretty decent job. I envision him more as a drug dealer,” one netizen suggested.

“Prison is the #1 answer with his obnoxious brothers,” said one fan.

“I don’t think he can see over the counter at GameStop,” one cruel fan said about Pavia, who is barely 6-foot, if that.

Pavia Apologized For His Post: Considered A Borderline NFL Prospect

Pavia took the advice of everyone around and offered a lengthy apology via X/Twitter.

“Being a part of the Heisman ceremony last night as a finalist was such an honor. As a competitor, just like in everything I do I wanted to win. To be so close to my dream and come up short was painful. I didn’t handle those emotions well at all and did not represent myself the way I wanted to. I have much love and respect for the Heisman voters and the selection process, and I apologize for being disrespectful. It was a mistake, and I am sorry…”

While Pavia — who threw for 3,192 yards, 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions while lifting the Commodores to a 10–2 record and a No. 14 national ranking, but according to The Athletic, Pavia is considered a borderline NFL prospect who has earned mostly “priority free agent” grades from NFL scouts so far, but they’ve also indicated that they wouldn’t be surprised if he’s selected in the later rounds (5-7).

Pavia’s family has a history of mixing it up and even getting arrested at games in wild drunken 

Earlier this month, his mother’s exuberant performance for the cameras from the stands garnered the criticisms of some sports announcers such as Joey Galloway who felt that ESPN’s excessive coverage of Antoinette Pavia at games was overkill.

Diego Pavia’s Brothers Javier and Roel Arrested Several Times This Season

While his mom may attract attention, Pavia’s brothers have been straight renegades, having broken the law on multiple occasions this season, including during last Saturday’s regular-season finale, a 45-24 thrashing of SEC rival Tennessee.

According to reports, Diego’s brother Javier was arrested by Knoxville Police and charged with public intoxication. The 25-year-old reportedly “got mouthy with an officer” when told to take down a large flag that was obstructing the view of other fans inside Neyland Stadium. Pavia was later released under his own recognizance after spending the night in jail. Photos show him pressed up against a truck looking quite flustered and embarrassed. 

Diego explained previously that the behavior is just how it is when you grow up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

“The thing is, Albuquerque is like a real-life GTA (the “Grand Theft Auto” video game series), so it’s always been kind of like normal to us, you know,” Pavia said. “And these have been the first two years where it’s been like, alright, we have to chill out.”

Pavia isn’t concerned about his family getting arrested or acting drunk and unruly at football games. In fact, the Heisman Trophy candidate says they are good luck to the Commodores.He had a great season, but it appears that the 24-year-old, sixth-year senior still has a lot of growing up to do. Let’s see what NFL scouts say.

‘Be Careful They Coming For U’: Sherrone Moore Still With Wife Kelli, While Fans Attack $3M OnlyFans Model Mia Sorety For Lie She Blames On Ex-Assistant

Things seem to be getting better five days after former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore had the crash out of a lifetime, getting fired from his job at the prestigious university which led to his bizarre arrest following a reported home invasion involving scissors and two butter knives.

Kelli Moore Is Spotted With Husband Sherrone Moore Outside Lawyers Office

Many speculated about the health of his marriage to wife Kelli Moore and their three daughters, who are all innocent victims in this drama. However, Moore, at least publicly, has decided to stand by her man and her family. 

According to pictures shared by the Daily Mail on Sunday, December 14, Sherrone Moore and his wife, Kelli, were taking a stroll with their youngest child outside of his lawyer’s office. The former head coach was back to Daddy duties, pushing a stroller with Kelli following behind him.

This sighting comes in the midst of OnlyFans model Mia Sorety claiming that Moore slid into her DMs and even tried contacting her after he was released from custody. 

RELATED: ‘I Declined Because I Am Already Rich’: OnlyFans Model Claims Disgraced Ex Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore Offered Her And Others Tickets For Foursome 

Another report surfaced that he offered Sorety season tickets to facilitate a foursome with other OnlyFans women he was allegedly following on social media.

Sorety recently claimed that the story, published by Outkick, was “false,” and that her “ex assistant” was responsible for the whole thing. In other words, it was a clout chase and opportunity to throw herself into the news cycle and a flaming hot story and get some attention. 

Mission accomplished.

First Sorety cleared the air via video. 

She then posted on December 13, saying, “Hi this is a false story that I never approved of. There was miscommunication and I want to apologize for this false narrative.”

Fans Think OnlyFans Model Mia Sorety Should Be Sued For False Accusations Against Sherrone Moore By Her Ex-Assistant 

Now she might have to deal with the consequences as fans gave Sorety a piece of their minds despite the apology. As often happens when scandal hits the social media mill the facts of the case get embellished along the way and people start taking and twisting angles about race and men in positions of power. 

“Yeah, that’s so wrong…,” one fan said.

Another accused her of leaking the information to her assistant by mistake and now trying to do damage control. 

“I mean it’s clear you’re lying, either to your “ex-assistant” or us right now because the information had to come from somewhere and you (more than likely) were bragging to your assistant and didn’t expect this fallout to happen. Either way he definitely asked you for something.

Others suggest that a lawsuit is on the horizon. 

“damn if they dont retract someone will get sued to death,” said another fan. 

“Hoe said what a hoe does. Be careful they coming for u….,” warned another 

Outkick Story Cited False By Mia Sorety: Moore Never Wanted Foursome

“Outkick” cited a series of DMs with Sorety recounting the allegations, which allegedly occurred after the Wolverines won the 2024 National Championship at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.

However, after the piece was published, Sorety posted a stern denial on X, saying that the DMs came not from her, but from an “ex assistant.”

“For clarification, Sherrone did not ask me for anything in exchange for tickets,” she wrote. “That story was false, and I at no point posted about it anywhere in my socials. Any communication has been with my ex-assistant. This story was all a misunderstanding.”

That’s pretty vicious on her part to put that information out there, let it take on a life of its own so she can get noticed and then blame it on her “assistant.” 

How Much Money Does Mia Sorety Make On OnlyFans?

According to reports, Sorety, an OnlyFans model, earns between $80,000 to $100,000 monthly from her platform, contributing to her estimated net worth of around $3 million as of late 2024. Her earnings come from subscriptions, pay-per-view content, and tips. So she’s in high demand for her fitness and lifestyle content.

Sorety makes a pretty penny as an Only Fans model so she doesn’t need the money. She wasn’t trying to extort Moore or anything, just tell a little white lie and embellish the story so that it sparks further interest.

Why Did Sherrone Moore Get Fired As Michigan Head Football Coach?

Moore and his wife Kelli are in odd positions because all he has done for the past 10 years is gush about his wife and family on social media. After being fired on Wednesday that image that he worked so hard to portray came tumbling down in one fell swoop, when he was terminated for engaging in an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member, allegedly named Paige Shiver. Moore made matters worse when he allegedly went to Shivers house and threatened to unalive himself and threatened her, saying, “My blood is on your hands.” 

After his bombshell firing for an inappropriate relationship with Michigan football staffer Paige Shiver and explosive arrest, former Michigan HC Sherrone Moore was spotted with wife Kelli Moore and their youngest child this week as they try to pick up the pieces. (Screenshot/Instagram)

There were also rumors and alleged receipts circulating online about a possible pregnancy that Shiver had and Moore allegedly making her terminate the pregnancy, but that has not been confirmed. The alleged sources are people familiar with the inner-workings of the Michigan program. 

Michigan athletic director, Warde Manuel shared a statement on Sherrone’s removal and stated:

“U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”

One positive for Moore is that Morety admitted that the rumor about the foursome was false, so as his family deals with the drastic changes and impending serious legal action 

What is Sherrone Moore Charged with? 

According to reports, Sherrone Moore was charged with one count of third-degree felony home invasion, one count of misdemeanor stalking related to a domestic relationship, and one count of misdemeanor breaking and entering, and was granted a USD 25,000 cash surety bond under the condition that he does not contact the victim and that he wears a GPS tracking device on his ankle.

‘Your Search History Is Usually Bad’: Jemele Hill Explains Why Husband Ian Wallace Was Able To Wife Her and Why Cam Newton Is Still Single

Former ESPN analyst, journalist, writer and media personality Jemele Hill is known for always speaking her mind, even if it meant coming for President Donald Trump. Famous for candid discussions on the intersection of sports, race and politics, the highly intelligent and very outspoken media queen doesn’t miss the opportunity to share her opinion. 

Jemele Hill Drops Relationship Advice On Unmarried Cam Newton

The former co-host of ESPN’s “His & Hers” recently stopped by former Heisman Trophy winer and NFL MVP Cam Newton’s “Funky Friday podcast. Let’s just say she dropped some jewels as she always does. Hill told Newton that athletes choose the wrong women because they don’t care enough to see or find out what type of discipline that person has. Or what type of goals they have. In her words athletes typically move too quickly and don’t care if that person has ever accomplished anything of substance. 

After describing how she met her husband, Ian Wallace AKA H. WooD, whom she married in 2020, she offered some advice to Cam and other athletes who haven’t been able to find that one they want to put a ring on.

“What I have noticed in seeing the dating habits of professional athletes is that the things that you focus on that you value are not actually often the things you should be focused on. I don’t care where she sees the world. I don’t care about her career. You should care that means she has been disciplined enough to have done something or achieved something.

You know she ain’t about the bullshit, and so many of you guys engage in relationships with women who are clearly about the bullshit. Your search history is usually bad, that’s what leads you to making these choices.”

Hill’s Comments Drew Plenty Of Fan Feedback

As with anything Hill says, the feedback is always a national treasure. Fans took to Instagram to give their opinions her witty and direct comments. 

“If she has no goals… don’t be surprised when you find out the goal was YOU,” a fan said.

A stunned Newton hair nodded his head, causing another fan to say this…

“She HIT a NERVE BAYBEE!!!! Preachin!!!”

Other fans chimed in with comments like these….

“She told no lies they lead with money and then get upset when these women leave them after they get out of the league,” another fan mentioned.

“If she’s a beautiful steward over her own name, reputation, finances, and relationships she’ll be a good steward over yours,” another fan said. 

“Everyone needs to have and maintain a purpose outside of romantic partnerships.”

Newton Tells Hill Why He Thinks He’s No Longer In The NFL

In a later segment of the podcast, Hill asked Cam… “why does he feel he’s no longer in the NFL.” 

Newton’s response went right to his big personality that for all intents and purposes scares teams away. Hill also asked him if “he would be okay not being a starter?” Newton answered with a halfhearted yes, and that his only request was to be given an opportunity to compete for the job. This is something he felt he wasn’t given a fair shake in New England with Mac Jones or in Carolina the second time with Sam Darnold. 

The word Newton referred to was “grace”, and from his perspective he wasn’t granted that. 

Fans also chimed in on this segment with their opinions on Cam’s answers…

“This is powerful! Cam recognizing his personality is bigger than the limitations football tries to place on his message,” a fan said.

“He’s just not the good anymore, plain and simple,” another fan said.

Hill also continues to be a contributing writer for The Atlantic. As for Newton he’s focused on continuing to grow his brand while moonlighting on ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith. 

‘He’s Not Ready. He’s Not Close’: Shedeur Sanders Fans Accused Of Making ‘Pitiful’ Excuses For Rookie QB After 31-3 Loss to Bears

Shedeur Sanders came to play on the road on a cold and windy day against a Chicago Bears team (10-4) that wanted blood from the beginning of Sunday’s game. But Shedeur Sanders’ teammates wanted none of the smoke. Early in the 31-3 loss, Shedeur was blasted on a sack by an uncontested rusher who had a red carpet to the QB. It was an indication that this would be one of the stiffest tests of his four–game career as an NFL starter.

Shedeur Sanders Has Three-Interception Day: Fans Blame Ineptitude Of Supporting Cast

Sanders’ perfect pass to Jerry Jeudy in the endzone that unfathomably ended up in the hands of a Chicago Bears defender pretty much summed up what Shedeur is working with. It didn’t get much better as Sanders followed up a career game last week with a rough performance against a Bears defense that had him under rush pressure 70 percent of the time. 

No. 12’s fans immediately realized that Shedeur was basically balling for self on Sunday, with one pointing out Shedeur’s positives and insisting that the poor results are not the fault of Deion’s son.

“Shedeur Sanders with 2 GREAT throws:

1) A perfect dime again downfield to Isaiah Bond while getting hit!

2) A perfect TD dime to Jerry Jeudy, only for him to drop the ball into the hands of Jaylon Johnson.

If it’s not Kevin Stefanski, it’s others costing Shedeur.”

“Let’s name Shedeur Sanders the starting QBs rest of the year but let’s pull his offensive line from him & send him out there with 3s & 4s lmfao this is bullshit to say the least,” said another fan unhappy with the way the franchise has handled Shedeur.

Another fan couldn’t hold back the disgust with Jerry Jeudy who has sabotaged several potential great gains for Sanders and the Browns with amateur plays since Shedeur took over as starting quarterback.

RELATED: ‘Nobody Is Checking For You’: Cleveland Browns Fans Say Jerry Jeudy Is Not Justin Jefferson Elite So He Shouldn’t Be Screaming At Shedeur Sanders

“The fact that Jerry jeudy was trying to big time shedeur sanders on the sidelines the last two weeks jus to do this is nasty.”

Anti-Shedeur Contingent Says His Fans Are Making Excuses Because He’s Not Ready TO Start In NFL

Other fans weren’t buying the excuses for Sanders and used the rough outing – another in a long season of embarrassing losses for the 3-11 franchise – as fuel to rekindle the narrative that the Cleveland Browns rookie isn’t a good player and has no future in the NFL. 

“He just took a sack after holding the ball for 8 seconds. He’s not ready. He’s not close,” one fan criticized. 

“The excuses they make for this guy is pitiful,” another fan quipped.

“Anyone but the guy who can’t complete more than 33% of his passes or put anything more than a FG up,” said another fan noting the excuses that fans are giving Sanders for his performance in a blowout loss to the Bears.  

“Yall blaming everybody but the real problem. Sanders.” 

Shedeur didn’t come close his 364 yard and three touchdown performance from last week. He had just 177 yards passing, three picks and no touchdown pass. It was just one of those days along the road of a losing season with a team possessing no incentive beyond personal pride to win.

Shedeur Sanders Outshined By Caleb Williams On Sunday

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams made some fabulous plays, and the second-year QB continues his progression as a rising star in the NFL at the position. Williams completed 17/28 passes for 242 yards with two passing scores. He had a robust 112.5 QB rating and solid 60.7 completion percentage.

Shedeur Sanders hasn’t started five games in the NFL and every single game he starts is an indictment on who he will be five seasons from now. It’s rather comical when you think about it but it’s also very telling how polarizing he is and how passionately people want him to fail or succeed. It’s a phenomenon the likes of which we haven’t seen in some time.

We knew that when Shedeur did hit the field with this terrible team that he would be challenged. So far, he has met most of the challenges and is surviving the dig days of a lost season where the organization prefers the team lose anyway and no one is playing for anything other than the starting quarterback.

‘I Declined Because I Am Already Rich’: OnlyFans Model Claims Disgraced Ex Michigan Coach Sherrone Moore Offered Her And Others Tickets For Foursome 

It’s been an ugly week for former Michigan Wolverines head football coach Sherrone Moore. Early in the week Moore was fired with cause by the school for an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. In the aftermath of his firing, Moore reportedly went to the staffer’s home threatening to harm her and himself for ruining his life. 

‘Crash Out’: Prior To Michigan Firing and Knife Wielding, Sherrone Moore Allegedly Forced Mistress Paige Shiver To Terminate Pregnancy Then Doubled Her Salary

Moore was later arrested and charged with breaking and entering, home invasion and stalking. He posted bail on Friday. As if his wife and three kids haven’t suffered enough, now rumors are Moore attempted to have a foursome with three OnlyFans models during the Wolverines’ title run in 2023-24. Per reports Moore even offered incentives if it were to actually happen. 

OnlyFans Model Tells It All

According to popular OnlyFans model Mia Sorety, Moore, who likely will never coach at the collegiate ranks again, offered her and others season tickets in exchange for a foursome after the Wolverines beat the Washington Huskies to win the program’s first national championship since Charles Woodson led the Maize and Blue to a natty. 

Sorety told media outlet Outkick this about alleged Moore’s request:

“He was offering me and 2 other onlyfans girls season tickets in exchange for a 4 sum [sic] hotel fun.” 

She said he even used text language for four-person sex. 

Sorety told Outkick that she didn’t accept the offer. 

“I declined because I’m already rich and can buy my own tickets.”

RELATED: ‘All In My DM Trying To Risk It All’: OnlyFans Model With 1.7M Followers Says Michigan Coach Who Attended Diddy Party, Charged With B&E Blitzed Her DMs

She even mentioned how Moore was found it comfortable to even talk about he and his wife’s issues with her

“He was venting to me about his wife and side chick drama.”

Sorety, who is a bit of a Michigan football superfan, later backtracked and claimed the report was actually false, but the damage had already been done. 

Moore Pissed That Story Got Out

The IG model also claims that in the aftermath of his release from jail on Friday following an arraignment, Moore quickly let Sorety know he wasn’t happy about the story being leaked, and she posted this via her X account. 

“He is really pissed at me and im not even the one that broke the stroy [sic] @nypost is!”

Moore should be pissed with no one but himself for putting he and his family in this mess. It’s an utter embarrassment and extremely disrespectful to his wife and children. 

Michigan Searching For New Coach Amidst Investigation 

Add Moore’s stupidity and subsequent firing to the ever growing list of scandals around the athletic department. Because of that an investigation of the department and AD Warde Manuel will commence in an effort to see if there was a cover-up somewhere. 

Especially after Moore and the staffer vehemently denied anything was going on when questioned earlier this year. 

In the midst of all this the program is now searching for its next head to lead the winningest program in all of college football, the first and currently the only one to reach 1000 victories.

“They’re Not Friends” | Rapper The Game Has Baby With Daughter Of “Basketball Wives” Star Evelyn Lozada, Who’s Friends With His Last Baby’s Mother…Weird

One thing Los Angeles-based rapper “The Game” is gonna do is keep his name intertwined in some way or another. The “Hate It Or Love It” emcee is known for his brashness and bravado when speaking of his place in West Coast rap scene, and during his recent appearance on the “Club Shay Shay” podcast with Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe opened up on a bevy of topics, including his youngest child and who he conceived that child with. 

Ever since it was announced that the Compton native was having a child with Shaniece Hairston, the daughter of reality television star Evelyn Lozada of “Basketball Wives” fame, folks were quick to call him trifling. That’s because they believed his ex (Tiffney Cambridge) and mother of two of his children was friends with Lozada, but during his sit-down with Sharpe the “Celebration” emcee cleared things up a bit. 

Games Says They’re Just Associates 

When asked about that situation by the eager to be messy Sharpe, Game, whose real name is Jayson Taylor, put it like this;

“They’re not friends.”

He even expounded on the only place anyone had ever seen them together, and per him it was just a baby shower that they happened to be in the same place. In fact, Game’s comments only piggyback those that Lozada has spewed over and over again since it was revealed that Hairston was indeed carrying Taylor’s baby. 

Game Tackles Bradley Beal Wedding Photos 

Following Game’s remarks on that topic, Sharpe didn’t miss the opportunity to mention pictures from Los Angeles Clippers star Bradley Beal’s wedding. In the pics Game can be seen all over Beal’s wife, Kamiah Adams-Beal, causing speculations that maybe he and her may have had a past. 

“That’s like my sister, man. The internet is terrible,” Game said. 

Clearing up any false pretenses or rumors about why he was there and who the aforementioned Adams-Beal was to him, Game let it be known that the reality television star was also raised in Compton. 

Fans Chime In On The Interview

Of course fans couldn’t wait to give their opinions on Game’s appearance, and they had this to say about his situation.

“Women don’t invite random women to their baby showers lol but aight game,” one fan said.

“She invited someone she not friends with to her baby shower… booooyyyyy stfu,” another fan said.

“Game we are not slow like you brotha. Women never in life invite ppl that aren’t friends to their baby shower. Even men know this bruh,” another fan quipped.

Speaking on his pictures with Bradley Beal and his wife at their recent wedding, fans aren’t buying the whole “that’s like my sister” act. 

“Nah that’s unacceptable to do to another man’s wife at his wedding,” one fan said.

“I wouldn’t even hug my blood sisters like that,” mentioned another fan.

“So the game did an interview with nothing but lies,” another fan quipped.

“Get your hands off my wife like that dawg ‘sis’ or not your crossing the line,” a fan said. 

The Game has long been accused of fabricating stories, and this instance is no different. 

‘I’m a Whole Football B*tch’: Cardi B Is Dedicated To Becoming NFL’s First Lady of Hip-Hop With Baby Daddy Stefon Diggs While Wanting All Patriots Smoke

Life is pretty good for New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The former Maryland Terrapins star is not only having a bounce back season (64 receptions for 704 yards and three touchdowns) for the upstart and very surprising (11-2) Patriots. Diggs, a ten-year vet has been a godsend for an offense led by MVP candidate and second-year quarterback Drake Maye that lacks proven experience at wide receiver.

Off the field Diggs is having the time of his life. The former 2015 fifth-round pick who’s known as a bit of a ladies’ man, has had his share of attractive women. But none move the meter like his current girlfriend and baby mama Cardi B. The female emcee who recently gave birth to her fourth child and first with Diggs, is now claiming her set (or NFL team) and she’s made it loud and clear for everyone. 

Bodak Yellow Songstress Is All In On The Patriot Way

In a video recently shared to X (formerly known as Twitter), the “WAP” femcee had this to say about her man’s squad. 

“I’m a football b*tch now,” Cardi B said. “I like football. I ain’t really grow up watching football and none of that sh*t. You know, I’m a Dominican b*tch.

“I grew up watching baseball, basketball from time to time, but now I’m a whole football b*tch. Like I’m all in it. I want smoke. I want smoke over the Patriots any time, any day.”

Not really surprising that the “Outside” rapper is all in on the Patriots, especially after enjoying the team’s early season win over the Atlanta Falcons from team owner Bob Kraft’s suite.

Huge Game In Foxboro This Weekend

As the team prepares to face AFC East foe Buffalo (9-4) on Sunday in a huge late division tilt with a lot at stake, one has to wonder will Cardi make her way to northeast part of the country. It’s a game with huge playoff ramifications for both, a Patriots win and they will win the division for the first time since Tom Brady left after the 2019 season. A Bills win and they’re just one game behind the Patriots with three games to play. 

New England stunned the Bills in Orchard Park earlier this season behind the aforementioned Diggs’s best game as a Patriot (10 receptions for 146 yards). It was his finest game in two seasons.

Patriots Underdogs Despite Early Season Win And Success

Heading into Sunday’s tilt the Bills are 1.5-point favorites, and in Diggs’ opinion that’s even better. 

“I feel like that’s good for us,” Diggs said. 

“Being an underdog, people like us have been an underdog our whole life, we’re going to have something to prove regardless of it. The main thing is, it gets exciting when you’re the underdog, when you’ve got a lot to prove, when you’re playing with that edge and playing aggressive. 

Nobody believes in us but us. The record is surprising to everybody and we just take it one game at a time and we’ll do the same thing with this one.”

Cardi is all in with her NFL allegiance and this is her moment of WAG glory. Like everything else she’s done in her life, she’s leaning into her new identity and all haters and fans can do is watch.

‘You Couldn’t Keep Your Pants On’| Sherrone Moore Must Accept Hard Truths, Make Amends With Los Angeles Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh, Others Who Support Him

Former Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore, had it all until he didn’t. Once the offensive coordinator of current Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh, Moore became the head coach following the program’s national title win in 2023 and Harbaugh departing for the NFL. All seemed fine on the homefront as the Wolverines went 18-8 in Moore’s two first with a win over archrival Ohio State and Alabama in 2024. 

‘All In My DM Trying To Risk It All’: OnlyFans Model With 1.7M Followers Says Michigan Coach Who Attended Diddy Party, Charged With B&E Blitzed Her DMs

That is until it was revealed that Moore was involved in an improper relationship with a female staffer. In the aftermath of Moore’s transgressions the coach was immediately fired with cause and even arrested for what authorities are calling home invasion, breaking and entering, and stalking. Per reports the woman staffer ended things with Moore who was insistent on still reaching out to her. 

According to Washtenaw Count prosecutors, Moore threatened his mistress after grabbing scissors and a butter knife.

Moore Makes Threats With Knives In Tow

After learning of his firing Moore reportedly went to the home of the woman staffer making threats and acting belligerent over his monumental screw up. 

“I’m going to kill myself. I’m going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.” 

Moore, the husband and father of three becomes the latest Black head football coach in the state of Michigan to let a woman cause him to lose his job, joining former Michigan State head coach Mel Tucker who threw away a 10-year, $95 million contract over a woman. 

Fans Chime In On The Drama

It didn’t take long for fans to give their opinions on the events currently surrounding the Michigan football program.

“In the immortal words of Frank Barone, “If you got a problem with your woman, don’t get another one. Now you’ve got two problems,” a fan quipped.

“A weak man will always look to blame others instead of take accountability for his own actions,” another fan said.

“The Michigan way, everyone elses fault but your own,” another fan mentioned.

“And Mel Tucker was never spoken of again,” another fan said.

“What a creep. Blaming his mistress for losing his job and probably his family. Dude, you are a rich man who had one of the top jobs in college football and you couldn’t keep your pants on,” another fan spewed.

Michigan Alum Rich Eisen Wants Dusty May Clone For Football Program

Speaking on the matter during the most recent episode of his hit podcast “The Rich Eisen Show” the longtime sports analyst and broadcaster Rich Eisen didn’t mince his words. 

“I want the football version of Dusty May. That’s what I want. If you can find someone with a similar background and a similar self-made builder, someone who comes from a smaller pond, if you will. Someone who has made more with less and now can do more with the more that Michigan will be able to equip this coach with. That’s the one I want.”

Eisen’s comments pale in stark comparison to that of another former Michigan alum, Adam Schefter who came under fire for saying Moore deserves a chance to tell his side of the story. 

No Word From Jim Harbaugh On Moore’s Demise

At his introductory press conference with the Los Angeles Chargers, former Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh declared that the university “got it right” and that Moore was “the right man for the job.”

“Sherrone is the right man for the job,” Harbaugh said. “That’s the guy, and (Michigan) got it right.”

With his Los Angeles Chargers riding high and in the thick of the AFC playoff race, facing a key game against the desperate Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Harbaugh doesn’t have time to be distracted. He hasn’t spoken on his former assistant coach’s situation. But at some point, he will get in touch with his protégé whom he vouched for, and one could say, has let him down.

Sherron Moore Fired For Inappropriate Conduct With Young Staffer: Arrested For Home Invasion Of Mistress Paige Shiver


On Wednesday, Moore was fired for an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with a staffer and, just hours later, in a bizarre twist of events that allegedly involved a breaking and entering, a suicide threat and a knife, Moore was detained for assault at an apartment complex in Ann Arbor.

The apartment is allegedly owned by Shiver, Moore’s alleged mistress. Reports surfaced that Moore was “going crazy” after his termination, broke into Shiver’s house and made threats. 

Pittsfield Police responded to the apartment on the 3000 block of Ann Arbor Saline Road at 4.10pm Wednesday, just moments before it was publicly announced that Moore was fired from his $6 million-per-year coaching job.

Police audio, which was later released, claimed that Moore attacked a woman with a knife after stalking her for months. Details of the incident are still coming out. 

OnlyFans Model & Michigan Fan Mia Sorety Says Sherron Moore Was In Her DMs

As if this situation wasn’t messy enough, now OnlyFans star Mia Sorety has come forward and claimed that Moore was in her DMs prior to his arrest on Wednesday.

Internet sleuths have been going crazy as details of Moore’s sad saga at Michigan unfolds. Sorety became a person of interest after one user on X posted a screenshot of Moore’s ‘Following’ list on Instagram – which included the influencer and a number of other OnlyFans stars. Not a good look for a married father or three.

On X, Sorety replied to a post about Moore’s ‘inappropriate relationship’ and wrote: ‘i wasnt surprised, he was all in my DMs trying to risk it all with an OF model’. 

In another post on social media, one user on X wrote:

‘$50 bucks he was probably AT LEAST in @miasorety‘s DMs’.

She replied: ‘should have bet more because he absolutely was’.

When fans asked for more evidence over the alleged DMs, Sorety wrote:

“i cant do that, screenshotting DMs and posting is slimey behavior”.

Internet sleuths caught interest in Sorety after one user on X posted a screenshot of Moore’s ‘Following’ list on Instagram – which included the influencer among other OnlyFans stars favorites.

Shortly after, fans quickly searched through her Instagram posts and found one which showed the OnlyFans star chilling at a Michigan Wolverines game in 2023.

OnlyFans Star Mia Sorety has 1.7M followers on IG and said that former Michigan Wolverines HC Sherrone Moore pursued her by sending direct messages on social media.

Fans Find Old Tweet By Sherron Moore Discussing P.Diddy Party He Would Attend

It got especially slippery for Moore when internet sleuths continued to investigate Moore’s social media and discovered he attended a P.Diddy party.

The post continued: ‘@trifectagala hosted by @Diddy tonight to start it off! #BonjourBlue #CantStopWontStop’.

The mention of attending an event hosted by disgraced music mogul P Diddy perked the interest of fans and some backlash, given the recent revelations made about the rapper’s ‘Freak Off’ parties. Diddy is currently serving 50 months in prison for various sex-related offenses.

Fans were very interested and all too willing to make a connection between Moore’s drama and the fact he shouted out a P.Diddy party. 

Meanwhile, another post on X, made by the 39-year-old back in 2012 read: ‘Bet there are some sore ladies out there right now [smiling emoji]’.

It’s unclear as to what Moore was referring to. However, one post claimed Moore had held ‘a women’s only football clinic’ on that day during his time at Louisville.

Make of that what you wish, but social media has already been let out the cage with this Sherman Moore send scandal and people way situations like this up like soap operas in the 70s and 80s. 

The OnlyFans model knows that her comments would get her attention and they haven’t been disputed yet, so chalk it up as another black eye for Moore right now. 

In the meantime everyone anxiously awaits a statement from Moore. 

‘Your Own Fans Don’t Believe The BS You Saying’: Matt Barnes Blasts Emmanuel Acho For His Crazy Switch Up After Shedeur Sanders Wins NFL Rookie Of The Week

All Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders needed was a chance, and now he’s proving why he should’ve taken much earlier than the fifth-round of last April’s NFL Draft. Named the Browns starter for the remainder of the season following Sunday’s epic 393 total yards and four total touchdowns in a heartbreaking (31-29) loss to the Tennessee Titans, Sanders picked up some hardware on Thursday. 

Shedeur Sanders Wins Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week

The former Colorado Buffaloes gunslinger was named the Pesi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week as he joined Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow as the only two signal callers who tallied at least 350 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the same game in the Super Bowl era. As Sanders racks up the accolades while showing a humble and professional side many didn’t know he possessed, he’s also the talk of the sports world.

Matt Barnes Reminds Emmanuel Acho Which Side Of The Shedeur Sanders Fence He Was On

The play of Sanders has drawn a rise out of many analysts, but the back and forth between former Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho and “All The Smoke” podcast co-host Matt Barnes has hit a fever pitch. In the aftermath of Sanders’ huge day on Sunday, the aforementioned Acho heaped praise on the Coach Prime’s youngest son. That praise was called fake and nothing more than him becoming a bandwagon fan by the aforementioned Barnes …. 

The former NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors told Acho this …

“I don’t hate for clicks and views.” 

To which Acho during an episode of his “Speakeasy” podcast with Shady McCoy didn’t mince his words, and he brought Barnes’s co-host into the mix. 

“You’re a fan. I’m an analyst. There’s a large delta between you and I. Matt and Stan, they do this often. They tether themselves to polarizing black issues… they need that to leverage their brand. 

Barnes rebuttal went a little like this… via his Instagram account. 

“So this is it??? Your own fans don’t even believe the b***s*** you saying right now. Read the room and your comment section.”

Barnes wasn’t done and finished with this. 

“You played 3YRs in the NFL 2012-15, as became an analyst in 2016. I retired from the NBA in 2017 after a 15-year career and went right into an analyst role. So you got 1YR on me. I woulda got here sooner but I was playing!”

“Someone tell Acho he could be as loud and as performative as he wants LOL The receipts are all over the place you quite literally said you don’t think Shedeur could succeed without his daddy LOL,” one fan captioned above a video compilation of clips of Acho dissing Shedeur and then recently switching up and praising him for his performance.

Another fan posted a list of the media members who currently walking around with egg on their faces as Shedeur Sanders had a record performance in his third rookie start.

“List of haters: Tony Grossi Mary Kay Cabot Immanuel Acho. Yall can’t spin this narrative YOU put out on Shedeur or the Browns.”

What’s Next For Shedeur?

Now that he’s secured the starting job for the remainder of the season, Sanders will look to improve every week. While the Browns schedule isn’t the most favorable as they’ll face three current playoff teams (Bears, Bills and Steelers) and conclude the season against in-state rival Cincinnati. Nothing will be easy, but Sanders wouldn’t want it that way, as he will look to stay in the moment as he told reporters this week.

“That’s not in my focus,” Sanders said. “My focus right now is the team we’re playing ahead, the Bears. So anything past that I’m not really focused on, honestly. I’m thankful for it, but I’m not content with my situation with everything.”

Sanders And Stefanski Looking For Strong Ending To Season

As the season winds down not only is Sanders auditioning for next season, so is his head coach Kevin Stefanski who could be replaced at season’s end. How he manages Sanders and the team down the stretch will likely determine if he returns next season, as he’s 6-24 in his last 30 games. As for Sanders it’s more opportunities to prove he can lead the team heading into 2026.

‘That 5 Percent Growth Was THE Caitlin Clark Effect’: A’ja Wilson Isn’t Hating But Caitlin Clark Obsession Threatens To ‘Erase’ Rich WNBA History

A’ja Wilson won another WNBA title in 2025, her third, and her second MVP. Both are accolades she also achieved prior to Caitlin Clark bum rushing the league in 2024 and shifting the culture. 

WNBA Didn’t Start With Caitlin Clark

While Wilson is a record-breaker and the best player in the “W”, Clark is clearly its most popular player. At times, especially during her Rookie of the Year season in 2024, Clark’s presence was considered a shadow covering up the accomplishments of other WNBA players of past and present because of the way her brand crossed over, brought in an untapped male fanbase and became the focus of media attention that started and stopped with news about the sensation out of Iowa.

Wilson and her fans have been quick to remind people that the WNBA didn’t start when Clark arrived, although some consider it to be that way as new collective bargaining negotiations suggest there will be strong spikes in salary across the league with max deals finally surpassing $1M.

A’ja Wilson Says Obsession With Caitlin Clark Has Overshadowed WNBA Foundational Pioneers 

After being honored as TIME magazine’s 2025 Athlete of the Year, an accolade Clark won just a year prior, Wilson said that the narrative following Clark’s arrival felt like years of foundational work were suddenly erased. She blamed Clark’s rambunctious and protective fan base more than CC herself. 

Wilson says it bothers her when people assert as absolute fact that Clark single-handedly saved the WNBA. As if the league was sputtering and in danger of folding. 

“It wasn’t a hit at me, because I’m going to do me regardless,” Wilson declared. “I’m going to win this MVP, I’ll win a gold medal, y’all can’t shake my resume.

“It was more so, let’s not lose the recipe. Let’s not lose the history. It was erased for a minute. And I don’t like that. Because we have tons of women that have been through the grimiest of grimy things to get the league where it is today.”

Wilson Challenges Notion That Clark Helped WNBA Explode On Her Own 

Wilson, who is dating Miami Heat star Bam Adebayo, challenged the notion that Clark — as suggested by teammate Sophie Cunningham on her podcast — was the sole catalyst for the league’s significant value explosion after her 2024 debut. Wilson was already in the midst of a potential GOAT career, and she did have motion before Clark’s entry helped shine a light on the rest of the league. 

The problem is that the light wasn’t always a positive one when discussing Black players not named CC or not a member of the Indiana Fever. Something the magazine article pointed out.

“Clark’s emergence created a toxic, racially divisive narrative that she was almost singularly responsible for salvaging a league whose foundation had been built by a mostly Black player base…

WNBA Ratings Reported Spiked 5 % Despite Caitlin Clark Playing Just 13 Games

After joining the league as the No. 1 pick in 2018, emerged as one of the generational players in league history. Her Nike deal, signature shoe and growing endorsement list has elevated her to the face of an expansion franchise on the brink of dynasty status. Don’t forget her Olympic gold medal and tournament MVP in 2024. 

Wilson doesn’t dispute Clark’s influence but her narrative is that the WNBA was already growing and the arrival of that 2024 class was perfect timing as huge transitions in the league’s future loomed. 

This entire women’s basketball explosion says Wilson just underscores how WNBA players “continue to rise to the occasion. She says the past two seasons have been proof that that increased visibility was always the key ingredient needed for the WNBA to get embraced by mainstream sports fans

 “We have been invested in each other and our craft for a very long time,” she noted.

“It was just like, they’re going to pay attention.”

WNBA Growth Was Also Influenced By Angel Reese, Paige Beuckers & Others

Wilson also has a problem with the overblown narrative about Clark’s influence, reminding everyone that it was a collective effort by several young guns, including Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Sonia Cintron and Paige Beuckers, who helped introduce the league to fresh faces and drove ratings, attendance and social media engagement.

Proof of Wilson’s claims were further cemented as Clark played just 13 games this season and missed the entire playoffs with lower body injuries, however, ratings and social media viewership continues to climb as ESPN’s regular-season and postseason ratings increased by five to six percent per game.

Social Media Reacts To A’ja Wilson Comments In Time Magazine About Caitlin Clark   

Social media was split as usual on the story. Some accused the magazine of creating drama by inserting Clark’s name into the copy when Wilson never mentioned the Fever star’s name. 

“Gotta say the blame goes mostly on TIME here by mentioning Caitlin for engagement and it’s working for them,” said one fan. 

“A’ja didn’t say any of this. It’s the magazine that shoehorned Clark into the conversation,” another fan said, defending the Vegas Aces star. 

“A’ja can’t stop talking about her… but Time bring up CC. Rage bait” said another fan dismissing any notion that Wilson is concerned with Clark. 

On the flip side, anytime Caitlin Clark fans hear anything negative benign spun about their WNBA savior they strike back with a vengeance. The fact that Wilson is the undisputed Queen of the WNBA makes her an even larger target. 

“Wilson can’t help herself. She is so unlikable,” said one Clark fan on X.  

“She’s jealous ain’t no way around it,” another fan suggested. 

“She’s such a terrible person,” a third hater added. 

The Clark Clan will never share some of the credit for the WNBA being in the financial position it’s reportedly in. 

Said one fan on X: “nobody paid attention at all but a few small peeps till cc arrived then they all lost it cause a straight white girl was kicking all their asses every one of them her first year, the records she secured that first year prove everything.”

“Even that 5% “growth” was THE Caitlin Clark Effect,” added another netizen. “Anything good that has come to the WNBA over the past two seasons has been THE CC Effect. Science. The evidence is everywhere.”

A third fan bluntly said, “If CC walks away after the new pay structure goes thru the league will collapse. I hope she goes pro and tries to tackle golf. Her money is already made”

Caitlin Clark vs. A’ja Wilson Is Matchup Fans Are Dying To See In 2026

Caitlin Clark indeed has the bag and a bright future regardless of what kind of salaries the WNBA is dispensing. With expansion teams coming, a new $1B media rights deal to take them through the next decade and increased viewership, Clark will remain at the forefront.

The 23-year-old who averaged 16.5 points, five rebounds and eight assists per game in 2025, always tries to avoid questions that set her up to belittle her colleagues or could possibly fuel any racial flames. She doesn’t claim sole responsibility for the WNBA’s rise and doesn’t hesitate to give praise to tube pioneers such as recently-retired Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, former Indiana Fever legend Tamika Catchings or any of her contemporaries.
