The Dolphins should take a cue from one of their AFC East rivals and make a free agent move to give a franchise legend his proper sendoff

Rob Gronkowski, who last played in the NFL in 2021, was most recently a New England Patriot in 2018. He retired in 2019 but came back out of retirement to play in Tampa Bay with Tom Brady in 2020 and 2021. He'll now get a chance to formally file retirement papers as a member of the Patriots organization after signing his one-day contract. The Dolphins have their own standout in the organization who played with Miami most recently in 2018, too. Cameron Wake, who posted 98 career sacks as a member of the Dolphins organization from 2009 to 2018, was the team's most dominant player across the decade. Wake's story was an incredible one — a former undrafted rookie out of Penn State who failed to stick with the New York Giants before heading to the CFL and honing his craft as a pass rusher. Wake signed with the Dolphins as a prized free agent in 2019 and promptly posted 19.5 sacks in his first two seasons in with the team. By the time he left Miami as a 37-year-old veteran, he was two short of triple digit sacks. He would go on to log 2.5 sacks as a member of the Tennessee Titans in 2019, his last season of NFL play. Cam Wake's Miami Dolphins career by the numbers 146 career games 98 quarterback sacks, 213 additional QB hits 97 tackles for loss Five time Pro Bowl selection, First-Team All-Pro in 2012 There has been no public reporting of Wake formally filing retirement paperwork. His playing career? Certainly over as a 43-year-old who has been out of the league for half a decade. But after posting nearly all of his NFL brilliance as a member of the Dolphins, why wouldn't Miami embrace him and give him the chance to retire as a Dolphin? The Patriots' gesture to Gronkowski should be viewed as inspiration that Miami should strongly consider following. Wake's 98 sacks in Miami rank second all-time in franchise history behind Jason Taylor's 131.0. He was a five-time Pro Bowler and named first team All-Pro in 2012 and three other times voted second-team All-Pro. Wake finished as the runner-up to Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson in AP Comeback Player of the Year voting in 2016, posting 11.5 sacks while returning from an Achilles tear the year prior, at 34 years old, no less. So Stephen Ross, Tom Garfinkel, Champ Kelly, Mike McDaniel...whoever needs to hear it. Take note of what just went down in New England.

Noughties singer Akon arrested after warrant issued

Noughties singer Akon arrested after warrant issued

The Locked Up singer was booked in DeKalb County on November 6 but released after only six hours. The 52-year-old’s arrest stemmed from an out-of-county warrant from Roswell, in Georgia’s Fulton County, over a suspended license, it was confirmed on Wednesday. The warrant stemmed from September 10 when a police officer noticed Akon’s Tesla Cybertruck “stranded” with a dead battery, according to an incident report obtained by Page Six. While waiting for a tow truck to arrive, the officer realised Akon had a suspended license for failure to appear for a January 2023 court date - so the songwriter was issued a citation. The songwriter wore a black hoodie in his mugshot. The Grammy nominee, born Aliaune Thiam, is best known for his hit songs, Lonely and Smack That. His personal life recently made headlines when his wife, Tomeka Thiam, filed for divorce after 28 years of marriage. In September, Thiam sought joint legal custody and sole physical custody of their 17-year-old daughter, Journey. Her filing confirmed that Akon has nine children, three years after the American Music Award winner said in a VladTV interview that he is the father of “seven boys and two girls.” During the 2022 sitdown, however, he refused to set the record straight on whether he was a polygamist. The crooner decided to “let that stay a rumour.” He explained, “I like the fact that people are guessing now, I love it. I’m not confirming nor denying. You go online, you may see nine, you might see seven, you might see four. “I love it, though,” Akon quipped. The following year, he gushed on the Zeze Mills Show that he is “there for every single one of” his children. This story originally appeared on Page Six and is republished here with permission.

Viewers shocked by TV stars’ candid marriage ‘arrangement’ confession

Viewers shocked by TV stars’ candid marriage ‘arrangement’ confession

The frank chat started when Housewife Bronwyn Newport, 40, opened up about allegations she’d been hearing about her husband Todd, 65, who she wed in 2016. A person on social media alleged that they’d been sat behind Todd on a flight and watched on as he looked at photos of a lingerie-clad woman in the messages app on his phone. Bronwyn said she believed the claims: “They knew where Todd was sitting on the plane, they knew what flight he was on …” she told castmate Whitney Rose over lunch. But Bronwyn insisted it wasn’t the alleged infidelity she was mad about. “If it was someone sending him photos, and we’d talked about it ahead of time? It wouldn’t bother me.” “I don’t know that I could say that to anyone else in this group,” Bronwyn confessed, saying their younger age and their shared distance from the Mormon church made her feel comfortable opening up to Whitney. “If Todd said to me, ‘I’d like to sleep with other people, or I’d like to do it together’? I’d at least try it,” she revealed. Bronwyn’s revelation was met with a shocked expression from 39-year-old Whitney Rose – but soon she was confessing some secrets about her own marriage to husband Justin, who is 18 years her senior. They’ve been married since Whitney was in her early 20s. Whitney said that, while she wouldn’t call hers an “open” marriage, she and Justin did have an “agreement” which she outlined. “If there’s something that I wanna do,” she explained, “then I would bring it to Justin, and we’d talk about it. The minute you break trust with the agreement, it’s over. So you can’t do anything behind each other’s backs.” “You have to live your life, and they’re older than us. It’s a natural thing that’s going to happen. So agreements need to be had,” Whitney told her friend. “And we need to be evolving in the same place,” Bronwyn agreed, saying she was hoping to come to a similar agreement with her husband. “The same direction at least.” “I don’t want to be done with Todd. I want to evolve with Todd. And I need him to evolve with me.” Fans of the show applauded the duo for their candour on social media. “Bronwyn is a god-tier reality star for this, some housewives could learn a thing or two,” wrote one fan. Another called it “one of the most amazing conversations in housewives history. So vulnerable; so smart; so real.” Another joked that Bronwyn and Whitney were “low key sending swinger signals to each other.” Not everyone agreed though: “[Bronwyn’s] trying to justify her cheating husband it’s transparent and sad,” said one viewer. While Salt Lake City fans will know Todd as a gruff, frequently combative presence on screen during his brief appearances on the show, Whitney’s husband has opened up a lot more – so much so that it cost him his job. The couple stripped near-naked and covered each other in body paint for one early scene on the show, shot in their bedroom. Whitney later confessed that her husband was later fired from his high-flying corporate job over their racy on-camera antics. Meanwhile, singer Lily Allen is another celeb who’s also recently made headlines for speaking about an unorthodox marriage “arrangement”, if her brutal new break-up album West End Girl is to be believed. On the album, which traces her divorce from actor David Harbour in forensic detail, Allen shares that the couple opened up their marriage to deal with long periods spent apart, but that it ended badly when he failed to adhere to their “arrangement”: “Be discreet and don’t be blatant / There had to be payment / It had to be with strangers.” With listeners poring over the album’s candid lyrics, Allen has insisted that, while largely autobiographical, not all details on West End Girl are 100% factual.

Seven out of 10’: Rogan warns US sliding towards ‘civil war’ after celebration of Charlie Kirk’s assassination

Seven out of 10’: Rogan warns US sliding towards ‘civil war’ after celebration of Charlie Kirk’s assassination

Speaking to comedian Brian Redban on Wednesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, the host said he had been shocked to see the reaction to the September 10 shooting of the Turning Point USA founder while speaking at a Utah university. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged over the shooting. Police allegedly discovered “anti-fascist” messages engraved on bullet casings left by Robinson, who had embraced “leftist ideology”, according to authorities. “Charlie Kirk gets shot and people are celebrating,” Rogan, 58, said. “Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you want people to die that you disagree with? Like, where are we right now on the scale of one to civil war? Are we at seven? Because I thought we were at five. But after the Charlie Kirk thing, I’m like, oh, we might be like seven. This might be step seven on the way to a bona fide civil war. “As soon as you start seeing regular people celebrating somebody getting murdered in front of their wife and kid on television in front of the whole world, as soon as you celebrate that, like, man, you’re in dark territory. “And if the worst thing you could say about that guy is that he said some things I disagree with, and you’re celebrating that he got shot in the neck in front of the world, whoa. And you work at an insurance company? This is nuts. And you thought that it was OK to say that on Instagram? This is nuts. Like what are you guys on? What is happening here?” Redban, 51, joked, “Oestrogen pills.” After the 31-year-old Trump-aligned political activist’s death, many liberals took to social media to justify or outright celebrate the shooting. Conservatives in turn sought to identify and contact employers of those who had shared offensive posts about Kirk in an attempt to get people fired. Last month the US State Department announced it had cancelled the visas of at least six foreigners who had made similar comments. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio “will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws”, the State Department said at the time. “Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.” Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau urged social media users to continue alerting him to relevant posts, saying he was “disgusted to see some on social media praising, rationalising, or making light of the event” and had “directed our consular officials to undertake appropriate action”. The killing of Kirk, while the most high-profile political assassination in decades, was just the latest incident in a disturbing rise in politically motivated violence in the US. Mr Trump, 79, faced two assassination attempts on the campaign trail last year, narrowly surviving being shot in the ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 in an attack that claimed the life of retired firefighter Corey Comperatore, 50. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, was shot and killed by US Secret Service snipers at the scene. To this day little has been revealed publicly about his potential motivation or political ideology. In June this year, a would-be assassin targeted two Democratic state legislators in Minnesota in their homes, killing one of them — Melissa Hortman, 55, along with her husband Mark Hortman, 58. Vance Boelter, 57, faces charges of murder, stalking and firearms offences over what the Department of Justice described as “heinous political assassinations”. In April, the home of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was firebombed in another act of political violence. Cody Balmer, 38, was sentenced last month to between 25 and 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges including terrorism, arson, burglary and aggravated assault. Balmer targeted the Democrat, who is Jewish, over his views on the war in Gaza, the suspect said in a call to a 911 operator after the fire, according to search warrants. Governor Shapiro, 52, said after the plea deal that it was important the US not grow “numb” to acts of political violence or accept them as “the normal course of doing business”. In December, UnitedHealthcare chief executive Brian Thompson, 50, was shot in the back and killed while leaving a hotel in Manhattan. Luigi Mangione, 27, currently facing state and federal charges of murder, has also attracted a controversial army of mostly left-wing supporters. Speaking on Wednesday’s podcast, Rogan argued there had been a “rejection” of much of the “woke” ideology that was “rotting people’s brains”. “But the scary part is what we usually do is we do something like that and then we overcorrect,” he said. “And then we go like white nationalists and ‘we’re all Christians, get rid of the Muslims’. Like, it gets scary when there’s hardcore ideological conflict because people push back. That’s what people are doing on the left and the right.” Only around four in 10 US adults are concerned about political violence directed at conservatives or liberals, according to an Associated Press survey last month. The AP poll found younger adults were less concerned about political violence, and that there was a substantial partisan divide, with Republicans and Democrats expressing high concern about violence against their own side but not the other.

Need for speed? Why Smith thinks England’s pace attack could struggle Down Under

The Optus Stadium deck promises to be the quickest and bounciest of the summer, followed by the Gabba’s day-night Test pitch in the first week of December. However, the likes of Fergus O’Neill, Nathan McAndrew and Jackson Bird, along with quicker Test squad members Scott Boland and Brendan Doggett, have dominated the Sheffield Shield with less express bowling in recent summers. Smith noted that England’s previous attacks – built around fast-bowling champions James Anderson and Stuart Broad – may have been better suited to the current pitches. “It’s different on the wickets now, I think,” Smith said of one of the fastest attacks England have sent to these shores.
