This week’s Beauty Unlimited feature is the lovely Sara. Her very presence invites people to want to get closer to her, but she’s very careful about who she lets into her inner circle. Sara said it’s only the beginning, and she’s prepared for the real hard work that lies ahead. Congratulations to Sara as this week’s Beauty Unlim- ited feature.
Tyrann Mathieu grew up not really knowing his bi- ological father, but the two appear to have established an amicable relationship in re- cent years.
Mathieu hinted at that following the Kansas City Chiefs’ win in the Super Bowl, and he gave his father another shout-out on social media on Wednesday.
Mathieu’s father, Dar- rin Hayes, has been in
TYRANN MATHIEU prison for almost Tyrann’s
entire life. Hayes was in jail
for robbery when Mathieu was born, and he shot and killed a man the day he was released.
Hayes was then found guilty of second-degree mur- der and sentenced to life with- out parole.
Mathieu celebrated his 28th birthday on Wednesday, and he gave Hayes credit for always being one of the first people to wish him a happy birthday.
Several NBA Stars Want To Resume Season
CHRIS PAUL
Several NBA stars want to resume the current season, ac- cording to a report.
Yahoo’s Chris B. Haynes reported on Tuesday that Chris Paul, who is the presi- dent of the players’ association, arranged a call with many other top players in the league to discuss the resumption of the season. Haynes says the call included LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kevin Du- rant, Giannis Antetokoun- mpo, Kawhi Leonard, Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard and Russell West- brook.
All players agreed that they wanted to resume the current season when it is safe. The be- lief is that the superstars all being on the same page will in- fluence the direction of the league.
With the exception of Curry, Durant and Lillard, the players on that call mostly are on championship-contend- ing teams, and therefore would have more incentive to resume the season. Haynes says many players not on playoff con- tenders feel the season should only resume with playoff teams to minimize the risk of virus exposure.
