Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was rushed to a local hospital following a back injury sustained in their 21-17 victory against the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Initially labeled as doubtful to return at the start of the second half, Garoppolo was swiftly ruled out of the game, leaving Brian Hoyer to take the reins at center for the Raiders. Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels confirmed Garoppolo's hospitalization, stating, "I know he (Garoppolo) left, and everybody knows that he left.

They are just doing tests, you know, and making sure they take care of all that stuff. I do not have an update on Jimmy." During the first half, after a field goal drive, Garoppolo displayed visible frustration on the sideline before engaging with the team's trainers while seated on the bench.

He eventually walked under his own power to the locker room, with a few seconds left on the game clock in the first half. At that point, the Raiders were leading 13-3. Garoppolo's departure came after a solid performance, completing 14-of-22 passes for 162 yards, including a touchdown pass to Jakobi Meyers and an interception.

Facing the Patriots, who selected him in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft, Garoppolo led the Raiders on three scoring drives in under two quarters, with Hoyer taking over in the second half, completing 6-of-10 passes for 102 yards. This season, Garoppolo was signed by the Raiders, reuniting with his former Patriots offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, who now serves as the head coach of the Las Vegas team.

In four-plus games, Garoppolo completed 100 of 147 passes for 1,079 yards, seven touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Unfortunately, he has already missed one game due to a concussion, and now the Raiders are left anxiously awaiting news on the extent of his back injury and the potential impact on his playing time.

Image
Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt. But I made him hit me because I knew he didn’t like wrestling. My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead.

Ireland Turns Away From Conor McGregor After Guilty Verdict

Image
Photo: Conor McGregor / Instagram   Conor McGregor , once celebrated as Ireland’s biggest sports star, now faces a wave of backlash following a jury’s verdict in a civil case that found him guilty of sexual assault . The case was brought by Nikita Hand, who accused McGregor of raping her at a Dublin hotel in 2018. She was awarded nearly €250,000 in damages, though McGregor has said he will appeal the decision. The verdict has led to significant consequences for McGregor’s reputation and brand.  Products linked  to him have been pulled from shelves in both Ireland and the UK, brands have cut ties, and murals of him have been painted over. His whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve , will no longer use his name or image in marketing, and the creators of the Hitman video game announced they have ended their collaboration with him. Even Ireland’s National Wax Museum has removed his statue. Gym owners, like Gary Scully of Scully Fitness in Galway, have painted over murals of McGreg...

Ex-NBA Star Says Lakers Coach JJ Redick Should Be Fired

Image
Photo: JJ Redick / Instagram   The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling. They’ve dropped to ninth place in the Western Conference after a crushing 109-80 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, their worst of the season. This is JJ Redick ’s first year as an NBA head coach, and he’s already under pressure. Even with stars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis , injuries to key players like Jaxson Hayes, Christian Wood , and Jarred Vanderbilt have hurt the team. The Lakers replaced former coach Darvin Ham during the offseason, but Redick has the same 12-9 record Ham had in his first 21 games. After the embarrassing loss to the Timberwolves, critics are questioning Redick’s ability to lead the team. Photo: JJ Redick / Instagram Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas didn’t hold back, saying Redick should lose his job.   “If it were up to me, J.J. would’ve got fired last night,” Arenas said on his show, Gil’s Arena.

Bronny James Sets Lakers Record That Even Legends Couldn’t

Image
Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The Los Angeles Lakers, known for their legendary players and rich history, have made headlines again. This time, it’s not because of LeBron James, but his son, Bronny James . Bronny, who recently joined the Lakers, has already made history—but not for his basketball skills just yet. Bronny and LeBron became the first father-son duo to play for the same NBA team. While Bronny’s time on the court is just beginning, he’s breaking records off the court. His jersey sales have skyrocketed , setting a new Lakers record that even the biggest stars couldn’t reach. After Bronny’s draft, over 500,000 of his jerseys sold, each priced at around $100. That’s over $50 million in revenue—an achievement that eclipses even LeBron’s jersey sales. Lakers owner Jeanie Buss is surely thrilled, as Bronny’s popularity is boosting the team’s finances in a big way. Photo: Bronny James / Instagram   The excitement around Bronny isn’t just with fans.
