Former NFL player Kemoko Turay involved in post-game CFL brawl

Details
06 July 2025

Saturday night's game between the CFL's B.C. Lions and Montreal Alouettes ended with a walk-off field goal. Followed by an all-out brawl.

Former Colts second-rounder Kemoko Turay was at the heart of the fracas. Now with the Lions, Turay and Alouettes defensive lineman Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund began arguing. And then it got physical, with Turay landing a punch to the face of someone from the Alouettes who was not in uniform.

3DownNation.com has the full story, along with a link to the video of the brouhaha.

Drafted in 2018, Turay spent four seasons in Indianapolis and one with the 49ers. He last played in the NFL in 2022. This is his first season in the CFL.

The Lions won the game, 21-20.

Eagles are still waiting for their Super Bowl LIX rings

05 July 2025

For a team with aspirations to win a second Super Bowl in a row, it's important to turn the page on the first one. The Eagles are still waiting to do that.

Nearly a month after the initial date for getting their championship rings, the Eagles are still waiting for the most coveted piece of jewelry in American sports.

The rings were supposed to be distributed on June 6. The event was postponed due to production issues, and there has been no news on when it will happen. (We asked the team on Friday for an update, but got no response. Which is fine, since it was July 4.)

At this point, the ring ceremony likely won't happen until the team has gathered for training camp. When coach Nick Sirianni is hoping to have the team focused fully on the task at hand, and not navel gazing over last year's accomplishments.

While they deserve to properly celebrate getting to the top of the NFL's mountain, they're about to retreat to the Valley of 0-0. Along with 31 other teams, all of which will be trying to do what the Eagles have done — and which will be using the Eagles as the ultimate measuring stick.

Every week, the Eagles will get the A+ game from each opponent. While they're talented enough to do it again, it will take full focus and commitment and concentration.

Which means that, no, it's not ideal for the players to be getting their Super Bowl LIX rings once the climb toward Super Bowl LX has officially begun.

Former NFL LB Bryan Braman fights rare form of brain cancer

05 July 2025

Former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman is fighting a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, at the age of 38. Diagnosed in February, he has had multiple surgeries while undergoing treatment in Seattle.

Via ESPN.com, a GoFundMe page has been created to assist Braman with expenses arising from his treatment. As of this posted, more than $53,000 has been raised. Former teammate J.J. Watt has given $10,000, and other former teammates have contributed.

Braman and Watt joined the Texans in the year — 2011. Braman was undrafted, but he made the team and remained in Houston for three seasons.

He played the next four years with the Eagles. Braman capped his NFL career with a win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

En route to the championship, Braman blocked a punt in the divisional round win over the Falcons.

Braman, who appeared in 97 career regular-season games, contributed mainly on special teams. One of his more memorable moments came in the final game of his rookie season, when he lost his helmet and still made the tackle on a punt return.
