Kentucky’s Buford Pusser 👮🏼‍♂️
In 1961, a mafia in Kentucky drugged a former NFL quarterback and put him in bed with a stripper. George Ratterman had played for the Cleveland Browns. Now he was running for sheriff, promising to shut down the gambling and prostitution that had made Newport, Kentucky the original “Sin City.” The mob lured him to a hotel suite above the Tropicana nightclub and drugged him. When he came to, he was undressed and in bed with a stripper named April Flowers. Three Newport cops burst in the room to arrest him. But instead of ending his campaign, he fought back and the set-up fell apart. A blood test found the drugs in his system and the stripper later admitted he was unconscious. Ratterman won the election. And with help from FBI agents sent by Robert Kennedy, he cleaned out the town. “In four years I got rid of the gambling and the prostitution,” he said, “and I didn’t get killed.”

NEW: Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts out for the season after blood clots were found in his lungs and leg. According to CBS Sports, Hurts was told not to sleep and was awake for about 36 hours before last week's London game. The outlet reports that Hurts was initially diagnosed with a "superficial blood clot." Doctors told him not to sleep, but he was apparently allowed to play in the game. Despite not sleeping for 36 hours, Hurts threw for 220 yards and 1 touchdown. After the game, a follow-up scan found that Hurts had "bilateral pulmonary emboli," which means multiple blood clots are also now in his lungs. Reporting suggests that the blood clot was "provoked" when Hurts was cleated in his calf in Week 4. "Jalen was initially diagnosed by specialists in London with a left calf superficial vein thrombosis. After further testing and monitoring, the current diagnosis is a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli," the Eagles said. "He is clinically stable and has no significant functional limitations. His treatment should only involve anticoagulation (i.e. "blood thinners"). During this time, he will not be allowed to participate in any contact activities, including football."

Hitting a sliding quarterback on 2 & 28 to give the opponent an automatic first down does not illustrate genius potential 🧐
