Kwon Alexander Tweets Out Support For Jameis Winston
KWON ALEXANDER
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is reportedly facing a three- game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
While criticism has been flying from every direction, and rightly so, Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander took to so- cial media Thursday with sup- port for his teammate: “We gotcha back @Jaboowins ! I'm riding with ya foreva! Family!!”
Alexander and the rest of the Bucs defense will certainly have to pick up their game if Winston is indeed unavailable for the first three games of the season, all of which are against teams who went to the playoffs last year.
Derrick Brooks Won’t Pursue USF AD Job
DERRICK BROOKS
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hall Of Famer Derrick Brooks stated Friday he's not a candi- date for USF’s athletic director job.
In a three-paragraph state- ment, Pro Football Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks said his commitments to Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School, his charities and family would not enable him to devote the time necessary to do the job effectively.
“As flattered as I am to be publicly mentioned for the (AD position), I do not believe the timing is right for me to pursue any new opportunities,” Brooks said in the statement.
Of all the names mentioned for the job, he becomes the sec- ond one with strong area ties — and huge support among the fan base — to essentially with- draw from candidacy.

Louisville Sex Party
When Floyd May- weather, Jr. took on Conor McGregor in August 2017, it was said the winner of that an- ticipated Las Vegas crossover fight would take home a min- imum of $100 million.
It should be no surprise, then, that Mayweather, who ousted his MMA-turned-box- ing opponent with a 10th- round knockout, ranks first on Forbes' 2018 list of highest- paid athletes. Leapfrogging soccer stalwart Cristiano Ronaldo, the 41-year-old boxer earned an estimated $285 million in 2017 alone -- $275 million in pay and an- other $10 million in endorse- ments.
The undefeated "Money" Mayweather has been a sta- ple of Forbes' annual ranking of rich athletes, topping the list from 2012-2014.
Besides Ronaldo, the Real Madrid and Portugal na- tional star who brought in $61 million in pay and $47 million in endorsements for the No. 3 ranking, future NBA Hall of Famer LeBron James may have been the most well- rounded earner of 2017. The 33-year-old Cleveland Cava- liers star and free agent-to-be ranks sixth on Forbes' 2018 list but had a relatively even

Escort Katina Powell
Evicted From Home
The woman who was at the center of the scandal that re- sulted in Louisville having to vacate its 2013 national cham- pionship is being evicted from her home.
According to a report from WDRB in Kentucky, a judge ruled on Wednesday that Katina Powell has 30 days to move out of the public housing complex where she currently lives. The ruling stems from Powell allegedly violating her lease agreement over an incident involving her daughter, Lindsay, and a gun.
The younger Powell was in jail on a gun charge as of Saturday.
Powell blew the lid off the Louisville sex scandal when she revealed that the basket- ball team hired her for numer-
