A Pasadena, California man admitting to breaking into the Taco Bell on Fair Oaks Avenue because he was drunk and hungry.
22-year-old Jose Cruz admitted to police that he broke into the Pasadena Taco Bell to snack on taco shells after a night of partying. “He said he was drunk and hungry and broke into the business to eat taco shells,” Lt. Pete Hettema said. Lt. Jesse Carrillo said it appears 10 Doritos taco shells were removed from the counter.
According to reports, Police received a call of a possible burglary at the Taco Bell, 2050 Fair Oaks Ave, at 3:15 a.m. Saturday and a witness gave a description of the suspect. The Pasadena Star-News reports that about four hours later, a man approached a sergeant who was standing in front of the police station at 207 N. Garfield Ave. Hettema said the man wore clothing that matched the description given by the witness. The man, Cruz, then told the sergeant he broke into the restaurant.
Cruz was arrested and faces commercial burglary charges. He was being held on $20,000 bail and made his first court appearance on Tuesday, May 1.
Michelle Wolf went from relative unknown (despite having an HBO special and upcoming Netflix show, still pretty unknown) to a national talking point in less than 24 hours after she delivered a scathing stand-up comedy set at this year’s White House Correspondents Dinner.
Now, while people from both sides of the aisle have been quick to praise or condemn the outspoken Wolf, comedians all seem to feel the same way about Wolf: they respect the hell out of her. And you can add legendary comedian Dave Chappelle to the list of people who respect the performance Wolf put on that night.
Speaking to PBS Newshour, Chappelle discussed Wolf’s routine and why it was so important that she didn’t pull any punches.
“I really respected what I saw. I don’t know who those people are that she—she can’t say that to them, ’cause they offend people all the time,” Chappelle said of the Trump administration’s pushback against Wolf. “And I think that for many people, not everybody who watched it, but for many people, it’s cathartic to watch that woman speak truth to power like that.”
“And whether they understand it or not, there was an enormous amount of levity in what she did. But it was very flat-footed and it was grounded in her truth, and whether I agree with it or not, I gotta respect the artistry. I gotta respect the gangsta. I know how hard it is to do what she did in front of that lame-ass crowd. And she—I think she nailed it. I thought it was beautiful. And I—I didn’t see her pander once and I thought that was beautiful,” Chappelle said.
Authorities have arrested a 17-year-old Plano High School student identified as Matin Azizi Yarand who was allegedly planning a mass shooting at Stonebriar Centre shopping mall in Frisco, North Texas; according to reports, the alleged shooting was planned to take place sometime this upcoming May. Officials were alerted to the plan when they found Yarand’s “manifesto,” that gave more information to the planned attack.
What happened?
According to police, the “manifesto” supposedly claimed that Yarand swore allegiance to ISIS. Authorities also believed that he was planning on recruiting others into helping him with the planned mass shooting spree, although authorities otherwise believed he wanted to be a “lone wolf.”
According to CBS 11, Yarand was believed to have spent $1,400 on weapons for the planned attack.
According to Dallas News, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis issued the following statements in a news release:
“We are fortunate that the brave men and women of local and federal law enforcement work around the clock to prevent acts of terrorism and mass shootings.”
“I’d like to thank the FBI’s North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Frisco and Plano Police Departments for their efforts in this case and their vigilance in protecting the citizens of Collin County.”
Frisco Police Chief John Bruce also issued the following statement:
“The facts of this case, though alarming, serve as an example of the power of cooperation and the importance of each individual remaining vigilant in the spirit of ‘see something-say something.'”
Who is Matin Azizi Yarand?
Yarand, whose name has also been stylized as “Matin Azizi-Yarand,” was a 17-year-old student at Plano High School in North Texas.
As mentioned, a manifesto developed by Yarand gave details about himself and the planned attack; in addition to allegedly pledging himself to ISIS, he reportedly also wrote a “Message to America” that supposedly listed his reasons for planning the attack.
At this time, Yarand faces charges of making a terroristic threat and criminal solicitation of capital murder; currently being held with bail set at $3 million, he could face up to life in prison if convicted.
Hattiesburg police in Missippi believe that a missing teenage boy may be with a former teacher, Nicole Jackson, who has been accused of sexual battery.
Police say that 16-year-old Oscar O’Neal II, who was last seen at his home on the morning of Monday, April 30 and was reported missing around 7 a.m., may be with 30-year-old Nicole Jackson, a former teacher at the Earl Travillion Attendance Center.
Jackson surrendered to authorities on April 10 during the ongoing investigation. She was reportedly out of a jail on a $10,000 bond for sexual battery in a position of trust or authority.
Authorities say that the two may be traveling in a dark blue Chevy Impala with Mississippi License Plate FRA-4454. There is an active warrant for Jackson’s arrest at this time and police are asking anyone who sees either Jackson or O’Neal to contact police.
Jackson is just the latest teacher to be charged for an alleged relationship with a teenager student. Over the course of just a few months, educators across the country were arrested for entering into an inappropriate relationship with their students, Tennessee teacher Janet Smothers,LaToya Parker, Florida teacher Caroline Lawson, 26-year-old Allyson Moran and Katherine Ross Ridenhour were all arrested on similar charges.
42-year-old Heather Butts of California was arrested on a second-degree felony charge, Nancy Leigh Ann Brann, a former Christian school teacher, was arrested for having sex with a student, Coine Audiat pleaded no contest to having sex with a minor in 2016 and 23-year-old Darci Lake was arrested for an inappropriate relationship. 27-year-old Brittany Zamora from Arizona was arrested on similar charges. Keri Hoffman, 35, was also arrested for an alleged relationship with a student.
Danielle Renfrow Constante has been allegedly identified as the woman in the viral video posted on Twitter by @svndy_v that shows a woman, who is allegedly Constante, harassing another woman by saying “You should not be here, you should not work here, you should not work at a school. I’ll be calling ICE if you continue working here.”
The incident happened at the Founders Classical Academy of Lewisville in Lewisville, Texas, which is located at 1010 Bellaire Blvd, Lewisville, TX 75067. According to the original Tweet, the victim is a teacher that has been working at the Founders Classical Academy “for months.” After the video went viral, comments on the Founders Classical Academy of Lewisville Facebook page are calling for Constante’s firing.
The school’s website says that Constante serves as a “Grammar School Lunchroom Coordinate” and as an instructor in the After School Care program. Prior to being employed at Founders Classical Academy, Constante was an administrative assistant at a “large church” for over 9 years. Furthermore, the school’s website says that Constante has two children who attend the academy, and her “favorite things” include date nights, spending time with her family, and thrift shopping.
We reached out to the school in Lewisville for a comment, but they referred us to the Founders Classical Academy’s corporate office for an official comment. The Founders Classical Academy has yet to return our call for comment. We’ve also reached out to the alleged daughter of the victim, who has also yet to return our request for comment.
So my mom has been working at a school for months now and she finally found a job she loved. This RACIST ass lady has been bullying her everyday. My mom came home crying today because she has to quit her job out of fear that this lady is going to call immigration service on her pic.twitter.com/HzU12lSAzd
The Founders Classical Academy website says the school “employs highly qualified teachers who are passionate about educating children and who love the content they teach”, who “foster the idea of learning for the sake of learning and engage students in the pursuit of the good, the true, and the beautiful.”
There has been a noticeable change in soccer in the past couple of years– a lot more scoring is occurring. Instead of the 2-1 matches we’ve been used to in the past, the wins have now become more significant. A prime example is Liverpool’s 5-2 lead over Roma in the first leg of the semi-final. The 2017/2018 Champions League season has followed suit. It has become the highest-scoring season ever in the history’s league. It’s been goals galore. Out of the 123 games so far, 391 goals have been made, which is about 3.18 goals per game. So what’s caused this change?
Attack Pressing
Between 1992-2009, the Premier League saw an average of 2.7 goals per game in one season. Since 2010, the average has risen to more than 2.7. This can be accredited to a different style of play, specifically attack pressing. It’s not exactly a new tactic, but it’s one that managers have been using more frequently. In fact, it has been used since the 1970s; however, there’s a slight difference as to why the tactic is more effective now.
Modern players are more fit and perform at higher-intensities. The players operate at two extremes. The current algorithm is quick sprints followed by low-intensity play. This is completely opposite from how soccer players performed in the past. Those players functioned at a more steady pace, so when they pressed on the attack, it was not as severe as the ones we see today.
—-ADVERTISEMENT—-
The Biggest Supporters
Liverpool is the most notorious user of the attack pressing tactic. Manager Jürgen Klopp is an avid believer in it, and his team’s standings demonstrate it’s success. Liverpool pushes it’s midfielders forward with the intention to win the ball further up the field, and once possession is won, to quickly send the ball out to the strikers. Opposing teams usually become overwhelmed and lose their formation in the process. This could explain why Liverpool’s James Milner leads the Champions League in assists.
The Non-Supporters
Though the tactic is designed to make plays, there is a downside. Attack pressing does create more opportunity for scoring, but it also leaves a weak defensive line. With the majority of players pushing forward, a loss of possession in midfield could rapidly lead to an advantage for the other team.
Despite the growing use of this trend, not all managers have adapted it. Manchester United manager José Mourinho has his team play with a more defensive approach. Mourinho has been criticized for this because not only do people think he’s forgoing the full potential of his players’ skills, but the stats speak for themselves. Manchester United scored only 13 goals in the Champions League as opposed to Liverpool’s 38.
Deyana Mounira is a Lebanese Instagram model living in California. She has over 315K IG followers and if you take a stroll through her gallery you’ll know why. Mounira has appeared in music videos for artists like G-Eazy and Future but has made recent headlines for being sued by millionaire Tony Toutouni.
Tony Toutouni is a nightclub owner, property developer, and self-proclaimed King of Instagram who regularly posts pictures of himself with scantily clad women.
After a shoot at his Los Angeles mansion with Mounira, Toutouni sued the model for $1.5 million for “arousing” his dog Hef during a poolside bikini photoshoot.
Deyana hit back at his claims and accused him of sexually harassing her throughout the shoot.
“During this entire amateur shoot with Tony, I was very uncomfortable because Tony was harassing me. He provoked his dog to hump me and told me to allow it.”
“I have a video posted in my IG that has Tony’s voice telling me to allow his dog to take these actions and says ‘let him do it’, ‘f*** her’ and ‘just stand there and let him sniff your butt’.”
“I felt vulnerable in this situation and tried to get myself out of this environment as best as I could.”
Mounira posted this disturbing video on her Instagram as proof of Toutouni’s torment.
Toutouni’s lawyer responded by saying she was “explicitly told NOT to post any videos of Hef as it reflects poorly on my client who is a public figure.”
On May 6th the WWE Universe will see its first real taste of the post-Wrestlemania 34 world. Yes, we had the Greatest Royal Rumble on April 27th, but that was more of a one-off event. Backlash will see feuds settled so that the WWE can officially move into new stories and angles. This will also mark the first PPV in which WWE returns to the shared event format. For the past year, the fans have had two PPV’s per month, each catering specifically to Raw or SmackDown with only the big four (Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor Series, and Royal Rumble) bringing the two brands together. It was a good experiment and a valiant effort to get as many superstars on the card as possible, but it also gave the fanbase a little show fatigue. It’s hard to expect the fans to watch four weekly shows and two major PPV’s in a month.
At this event, we’ll see three rematches for titles from Wrestlemania and four total title matches. In the WWE “rules” recently usurped champions have the chance to get their titles back, and we’ll see three former champions try and reclaim their prizes from their Wrestlemania and post Wrestlemania losses. There are also some new feuds budding and an old feud being reborn. There’s a lot to see in the fallout of Wrestlemania 34 and here’s where you can see it, and what you must see.
Date: Sunday, May, 6th Time: 8:00 P.M. EST (5:00 P.M. PST) TV Channel: WWE Network Location: The Prudential Center, Newark, NJ
Matches:
Seth Rollins (c) vs. The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship
Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe
Nia Jax (c) vs. Alexa Bliss for the Raw Women’s Championship
Braun Stroman & Bobby Lashley vs. Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
Daniel Bryan vs. Big Cass
Carmella (c) vs. Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Live Women’s Championship
AJ Styles (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship
Predictions & Must-See Matches
Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe is back on the main roster and made a significant statement at the Greatest Royal Rumble. The fatal four-way ladder match was the best match of the night, and Joe was no small part of that, using the ladder as a blunt object of destruction in convincing fashion. Roman Reigns is coming off of a Greatest Royal Rumble that was a little strange, to say the least. Reigns took on Brock Lesnar in a steel cage match, and the finish left a lot of people wondering… was that on purpose? Reigns did his signature spear to Lesnar and broke through the side of the cage. Even though the announcers continued to remind us over and over that whoever had both feet touch the ground first while trying to escape the cage was the winner, and Reigns rolled over and had his feet touch first, Lesnar was still declared the winner for “touching the ground first.” If this wasn’t an accident, then the story was handled very haphazardly. The plus side is it added fuel to the fire that is Samoa Joe’s Promos. Joe and Reigns have had issues in the past, and Joe has been cutting amazing promos at the expense of Reigns continuous struggles against Lesnar. Backlash will be a perfect place to let that simmer over, mainly because after the event both men will be on separate shows again. This will most likely give them the green light to put everything into this match. Love him or hate him Reigns puts on good matches, and Samoa Joe is always solid. Look for these two to put on a real slobber knocker.
Carmella vs. Charlotte Flair
On the SmackDown Live after Wrestlemania, Carmella took advantage of Charlotte Flair being attacked by the recently promoted duo, The Iconics and cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase. With the help of the beating put on by Billie Kay and Peyton Royce, The Princess of Staten Island successfully cashed in the first ever Women’s Money in the Bank Briefcase to get her first SmackDown Live Women’s Championship. Charlotte was not happy. Now she has her rematch. This will be a big moment for Carmella. She has limited singles action under her belt, and she will be facing off against arguably the most talented Woman working right now. Carmella has had good moments in her matches and is a hard worker, so if she steps up this could be a great match. Look for The Iconics to come out and ruin things for Charlotte before it’s over.
AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura
Will this finally be the dream match that WWE has long promised us for these two? Their Wrestlemania match was good. Their Greatest Royal Rumble match was really good. Could their Backlash match be great? It seemed that the heel vs. face angle at the Greatest Royal Rumble worked far better for the two superstars then their original face vs. face angle used at Wrestlemania. It gave Nakamura the ability to make his already brutal style even more so and caused the anger that Styles fought with believable and justifiable. I mean wouldn’t you want to kick the crap out of a guy who seemed to have a homing beacon for your groin and wouldn’t stop punching it… They had their blow-off match at Greatest Royal Rumble, with both men getting disqualified via count out because Styles was more focused on punishing Nakamura then getting him back in the ring, and thanks to champions advantage he held onto his title. Now that we’re back on the main line up of WWE PPVs we could see a more technical fight, and quite possibly a title change hands.
The PPV after Wrestlemania is usually somewhat of a throwaway event, but that’s the exact reason WWE could end up shocking you. They need people to keep watching and if we all start to think that Backlash is one to skip then WWE will have to kick up the excitement for this particular event. We’ll find out what they have planned on May 6th.

It’s no secret that fighting in the sport of hockey has taken a backseat in recent years. Player safety and other things of that nature have led to the decrease in fisticuffs. There are still a few players in the league that have that fighting mentality, but over the time the NHL has been around, there have been some legendary players who were best known for dropping the gloves at a moments notice. These warriors made their name and created their own legacy by doing what many didn’t. Let’s take a look at the most recognized fighters of all time.
Georges Laraque
Georges Laraque played in the NHL for 14 seasons and was one of the most feared enforcers in the sport. At 6’3, 245 pounds, the Montreal native was an undisputed heavyweight among his peers and combatants in his seven seasons with the Edmonton Oilers. Laraque racked up over 1126 penalty minutes in his career, and, participated in 138 fights according to hockeyfights.com
Stan Jonathan
In the fight-filled era of the 1970’s, Stan Jonathan was revered as one of the most-feared enforcers. Playing for the “Big Bad” Bruins of that decade, Jonathan, the 175 pounder, wasn’t afraid to drop them with anyone. Jonathan would play for seven years in the NHL — ending his career in Pittsburgh — but even in that short span, was a fighting machine.
—-ADVERTISEMENT—-
Derek Boogaard
The late 28-year old big man from Saskatoon, Boogaard in his six seasons, was the consummate NHL enforcer. Boogard. In his time in the league, Boogaard became the most notorious for his knockouts, so much so, that his fellow counterpart, Georges Laraque, retired because he knew it would end badly if he faced him. Totaling 66 fights, it was a shock around the league when he accidentally overdosed. Boogard was one of the last of his breed.
Terry O’Reilly
It’s no surprise another member of the Big Bad Bruins finds his way on to this list. O’Reilly — on those famed Bruins teams — would throw his weight around at anyone, and if the opposition came back at him, he had no problem obliging to get into an old-fashioned donnybrook. Over his 13-year career, O’Reilly tallied up to 2100 penalty minutes and a mind-numbing 172 fights.
—-ADVERTISEMENT—-
Dave Semenko
Oh, how much fun it must have been to be this guy, who was in charge of having Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky’s back on the Oilers Stanley Cup winning teams of the late 80’s. Semenko played his role to perfection in Edmonton as the bodyguard, and if needed, as a goon who would throw down with anyone who tried to hurt The Great One. From 1979 to 1988, the Winnipeg native fought over 70 times in the regular season and postseason.
Dave Schultz
Known as “The Hammer” and adored by Flyers fans, and hated by every other fanbase around the league, Dave Schultz was as mean and tough as they came. As one of the most iconic members of the Broad Street Bullies, Schultz wasn’t intimidated by anybody. His 472 penalty minutes in 1974-75 will never, ever be broken. Being that hated, Schultz ended up fighting 158 times in just seven seasons of playing.
—-ADVERTISEMENT—-
John Ferguson
Considered by many as the original enforcer, John Ferguson played a huge part in that nasty, blood riven time, known as old-time hockey. Ferguson was an engine, taking a boatload of penalty and fighting anything or anyone that could move. Even standing at 6’0, 178 pounds, Ferguson didn’t let his size affect him, as he partook in 49 fights from 1963 to 1970.
Marty McSorley
One of the most recognized names of the 1990’s for his dirty play, Marty McSorley was a maniac on skates. People say he was not just a simple goon, and McSorley proved them right. He is fourth all-time in penalty minutes for an NHLer, and just like Dave Semenko, he was another one of the famed Wayne Gretzky protectors. As for dropping the gloves, in over 16 seasons, McSorley fought a record 225 times.
—-ADVERTISEMENT—-
Tie Domi
For someone who only stood 5’10, Tie Domi had no problem taking on whoever was in his path. Described as a sideshow, Domi would put on a show every single time fisticuffs were involved. Those antics earned Domi the third-most penalty minutes for a player in the history of the game, with 3,515. By the end of his career in 2005-06, Domi had been in a staggering 255 fights.
Dave “Tiger” Williams
Aside from his awesome nickname, Dave Williams was like a tiger out on the ice: Imposing and Ferocious. Williams was seen as a real entertainer anytime someone would challenge him to a fight. Another tough kid from Wayburn, Saskatchewan, Williams threw down with the best of them, ending his career as the most penalized player in NHL history with 3, 966 minutes. Oh and as for how many fights he had? Try, 246 times.
Bob Probert
The greatest fighter in the history of the National Hockey League, Bob Probert was and still is in a class of his own. He is seen as the most skilled fighter of his day, that even legend on this list, John Ferguson, said that he was nowhere near the level of fighter Probert was. His iconic battles with Tie Domi and Joey Kocur, just to name a few, made Probert a household name. Fifth all-time on the penalty docket and 230 fights under his belt, nothing else needs to be debated that Probert will go down as the king of fighting.

Danielle Constante is allegedly the woman in the viral video that shows a woman harassing another woman by saying threatening to call ICE. In the video, the woman, who is allegedly Constante, says: “You should not be here, you should not work here, you should not work at a school. I’ll be calling ICE if you continue working here.”
The racist incident happened at the Founders Classical Academy in Lewisville, Texas. According to the Tweet, the victim is a teacher that has been working at the Founders Classical Academy “for months.” After the video went viral, comments on the Founders Classical Academy of Lewisville Facebook page are calling for Constante’s firing.

Yaira Cotto Flores, 26, has been found guilty of transporting a 14-year-old male student to a motel with the intent to have sex. The teenager claims that Flores bought condoms and taught him how to use one.
According to Fox News, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said that Yaira Cotto Flores was the student’s English teacher at a school in the western town of San Lorenzo. Officials said Cotto gave him several gifts including an acne treatment kit and an expensive watch before taking him to a motel in March 2016. They reportedly went to the Oriente Motel in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, where the English teacher paid $30 for a room.
Cotto was ordered to remain under house arrest until a sentencing scheduled for August. Fox News reports that her attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.
Flores is just the latest teacher to be charged for an alleged relationship with a teenager student. Over the course of just a few months, educators across the country were arrested for entering into an inappropriate relationship with their students, Tennessee teacher Janet Smothers,LaToya Parker, Florida teacher Caroline Lawson, 26-year-old Allyson Moran and Katherine Ross Ridenhour were all arrested on similar charges.
42-year-old Heather Butts of California was arrested on a second-degree felony charge, Nancy Leigh Ann Brann, a former Christian school teacher, was arrested for having sex with a student, Coine Audiat pleaded no contest to having sex with a minor in 2016 and 23-year-old Darci Lake was arrested for an inappropriate relationship. 27-year-old Brittany Zamora from Arizona was arrested on similar charges. Keri Hoffman, 35, was also arrested for an alleged relationship with a student.

Sportstalk host Jimmy Hyams helped break the news on Twitter:
“BREAKING NEWS: Sources: UT chancellor Beverly Davenport has been fired by Dr. Joe DiPietro. She was hired Dec. 15, effective Feb. 15. She made the controversial hire of John Currie as athletic director, then fired him Dec. 1 and hired Phillip Fulmer as AD.”
As he continued the story on his official Twitter account, he added that Davenport was the first woman to lead the school and been hired by DiPietro in the first place.
“Davenport, 63, was the first woman to lead UT Knoxville. She was hired at DiPietro’s recommendation. She served as interim president at the University of Cincinnati before being hired by UT. Her base pay: $595,000 with additional compensation.”
“Davenport was hired Dec. 15, 2016, came on board Feb. 15, 2017.”
According to SEC Country, during the time the news came to light, the school has not yet confirmed Davenport’s dismissal from the school, adding that the nature or reason for any potential firing is unclear.
The Tennesseean later confirmed the news, even publishing the full text of Davenport’s termination letter, which was signed by President Joseph A. DiPietro himself:
“I have decided that it is in the best interest of The University of Tennessee to change the leadership of our flagship campus and terminate your appointment as Chancellor of The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.”
“Your performance evaluation for Calendar Year 2017, a copy of which is being provided to you under separate cover, describes numerous areas of unsatisfactory performance. In several areas, even after I raised concerns early in your tenure and addressed them multiple times since then, you have been either unwilling or unable to improve, including”
The letter added that, while terminated from her position of chancellor, she will stay at the school as a professor, with a significant pay-cut:
“Effective July 1, 2018, in accordance with the terms of your appointment letter dated December 6, 2016, your appointment will be converted from your current administrative appointment as Chancellor to your full-time faculty appointment as Professor, with tenure, in the School of Communication Studies. As approved by the Board of Trustees, your compensation as Professor will be $438,750.00 (which is 75% of your initial base salary as Chancellor of $585,000.00) for four years. Beginning with the fifth year, your compensation in your faculty appointment will be adjusted to the average base salary of full professors in the department. Effective immediately, and until June 30, 2018, you will be placed on administrative leave with pay.”
“Obviously, this is not where either of us hoped we would be when I hired you. Personally, I am disappointed that this action is necessary, but as President it is my duty to make decisions that are in the best interest of The University of Tennessee. I wish you the best as you return to the faculty.”
Who is Beverly Davenport?
As mentioned above, Davenport was the first woman chancellor for the University of Tennesee, Knoxville.
Before serving as the University of Tennessee chancellor, Davenport served as the 29th President at the University of Cincinnati. Beforehand, she served as the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost for three years.
Prior to this, she also served as Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs at Purdue University, a senior fellow at Virginia Tech, a divisional dean for the social sciences at the University of Kansas, and chair of the Department of Communication at the University of Kentucky.

Ty Cobb is an American lawyer. No, he doesn’t play baseball, nor was he part of the first class of inductees into the Hall of Fame. He is, however, a distant descendant of the late MLB great with the same name.
Attorney Cobb is an experienced lawyer with a long track record of defending corruption cases and white-collar crime. He was a partner at Hogan Lovells in Washington, D.C. until July 2017, when he joined the Trump administration’s legal team. He joined the president’s special counsel, serving as part of the legal team that is handling the ongoing Russian investigation. In May 2018, Cobb announced he plans on leaving the White House and his position at the end of the month.
Ty Cobb Net Worth As Of 2018: $25 Million
When Cobb was brought on to Trump’s legal team he was given a salary of $179,000 – a far drop from what he was making at Hogan Lovells as one of their top corruption lawyers. Let’s take a look back at how this non-baseball playing Cobb made it to the White House.
Early Life
Cobb, born in 1950, is the son of Grover C. Cobb, a Kansas radio station owner who was senior executive vice president of the National Association of Broadcasters. He spent his childhood in rural Kansas, before receiving his bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and his J.D. from Georgetown Law Schoool.
1976-1988

Cobb served as a law clerk for a federal judge, and then in the U.S. Attorney’s office in Baltimore as chief of the criminal section and head of the region’s drug enforcement and organized crime task force. In 1986, he joined the Baltimore law firm Miles and Stockbridge. Two years later, he joined Hogan & Hartson, which became Hogan Lovells.

Throughout the 90s and into the 2000s, Cobb made a name for himself as one of Hogan Lovells’ top corruption lawyers. In the 90s, he served as special trial counsel during an independent investigation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Cobb successfully defended Hudson Foods against allegations that its executives lied to investigators after a recall of beef tainted with E. coli. The executives were acquitted on all charges. Other high-profile clients have included John Huang, Mary McCarthy, AIG, Office Depot, and IBM.
2017-Present
In July 2017, Cobb joined the White House to manage matters related to the ongoing investigations into Russian election interference. Up until his departure in May 2018, Cobb was part of the White House internal legal team and reported directly to President Trump. Cobb said that he accepted the White House assignment because “it was an impossible task with a deadline.” He elaborated further that he had “rocks in his head and steel balls.” Cobb was recommended to Trump by John Dowd, who was a member of his private legal team.

He lost his left hand when he was four years old. His team was “robbed” of a national championship. At first, he wasn’t even invited to the NFL Combine. But time and time again, Shaquem Griffin has proved everyone wrong. He had 12 tackles, including 1.5 sacks in the Peach Bowl against Auburn. He ran a 4.38 40 yard dash at the Combine. Now, he has a chance to shine with the Seattle Seahawks, who selected him in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
This pick is special for so many reasons, but none more touching than family. Shaquem’s twin brother, Shaquill, was a third-round pick of the Seahawks in 2017. Not only are the brothers on the same team again, but they have a chance to shine together. Shaquill is currently listed as the number one cornerback on the roster after the Seahawks parted way with All-Pro Richard Sherman. Shaquem might not get a chance to start right away, but as any college football fan knows, he can prove us all wrong. The Seahawks might need some pass rushing depth, and Shaquem just might be the guy to help. If he isn’t able to get on the field a lot on defense, he will definitely be able to wow people as a gunner on special teams. His speed and strength give him the potential to be a Pro Bowler as a special teamer.
The Seahawks might have gotten rid of a lot of key players this offseason, like Richard Sherman and Michael Bennett, but they’ve definitely brought in a fan favorite. While he might not be on the field a lot next season, expect his jersey to be among the top sellers. The Seahawks did a great thing by giving Shaquem a chance, and by pairing him with his twin brother, it makes the story that much more impressive. Be sure to keep your eye out for the Griffin brothers this year as they ball out in 2018.
Paige Ginn is an American Instagram model and Youtuber known for her peculiar sense of humor. Ginn first gained attention on the internet for her hilariously brutal videos of her falling down in public places. Ginn’s videos have evolved some, as she now focuses primarily on … farting in public places. Yes, farting. The things pretty girls get away with — I swear.
Ginn first come onto the scene a couple of years ago when preposterous videos of her falling and farting in public began to go viral on social media, and it’s easy to see why: a pretty girl practicing physical comedy is a rare sight, so when it happens, it’s hilarious. Can it be a little gross? Sureeeee. But sometimes that’s what it takes in comedy. Regardless of how you feel about her sense of humor, you have to give Paige Ginn credit for finding her niche and running with it.
Ginn has grown to over 200,000 followers on Instagram and is rapidly closing in on a quarter of a million.
Now that the NFL Draft is over, most teams are pretty happy about their rosters. Defense still wins championships, and it showed three of the top five defenses made it to the championship games this year. The New Orleans Saints defense snuck up on a lot of people last year, after acquiring great pieces in the draft like Marshon Lattimore and Marcus Williams. Now the question is, who will be that team in 2018? We have three possible answers at the end of free agency and the draft.
Green Bay Packers
The Packers quietly had one of the best offseasons on the defensive side of the ball. After signing Muhammad Wilkerson to pair with Mike Daniels and Kenny Clark, they have an excellent defensive front. They also now have arguably an elite group of young cornerbacks that they’ve drafted. After picking Washington corner Kevin King last season, they doubled up this year, going with Louisville’s Jaire Alexander in the first round and Iowa’s Josh Jackson in the second. The combination of size, speed, ball skills and athleticism that these guys bring to the table is going to be a force to be reckoned with heading into 2018, especially after pairing them with a defensive front that can really get after the quarterback.
Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons lost a big piece in Dontari Poe but gained another big one through the draft in Colorado cornerback Isaiah Oliver. Oliver gives the Falcons another excellent part of the secondary, to go along with Desmond Trufant, who is quietly one of the best corners in all of football, and Keanu Neal, a young safety who has made a significant impact from day one. Dan Quinn prides himself on having a fast, hard-hitting defense, and Isaiah Oliver is the perfect guy to add to this team. Watch out for the Falcons secondary this year, even if the front seven can’t get a great pass rush.
Houston Texans
This isn’t really a sleeper, but more of a what-if scenario. If everyone on this team is healthy, the Texans could have a top 10 defense in the NFL. After signing Tyrann Mathieu and hitting a home run on their first pick, which came in the third round, Stanford safety Justin Reid, they will have an excellent, ball-hawking safety pair. Combining that with a healthy front seven that includes tackling machine Zach Cunningham, and a trio of exceptional pass rushers in J.J Watt, Whitney Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney, this defense has potential to be elite. They definitely need an upgrade at cornerback, but if the front seven can stay healthy and hit home, it might not matter.
