Chiefs cut Isaiah Buggs after domestic violence, animal cruelty arrests
NY Post
The Chiefs have parted ways with defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs following a series of troubling incidents this offseason.
The team on Monday announced it was cutting Buggs — whom they signed to a futures contract in February — roughly one week after he was arrested and charged with domestic violence/burglary.
Two weeks before that incident — in which Buggs allegedly dragged Yamya Johnson, the mother of his child, down the stairs of her apartment — the 27-year-old turned himself in to Alabama police on May 30 following misdemeanor warrants regarding animal cruelty.
Two dogs were found on the back porch of a home Buggs was renting without access to food and water, according to court documents.
Buggs’ agent, Trey Robinson, denied any wrongdoing by the former sixth-round draft pick and that the animals were not his.
“Under no circumstances does Mr. Buggs condone the mistreatment of any animal,” Robinson said, per NFL.com.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
