SPORTS.YAHOO.COMFake audio changed the course of hearing that punished defenderFake audio changed the course of hearing that punished defenderThe fake audio used by Internacionals legal department in the defense of center-back Victor Gabriel ended up carrying decisive weight in the punishment handed down by the STJD.This was the same content that went viral on social media (see below).The voting was already underway when auditor Aline Jatahy questioned the authenticity of the material released by Inter.Messages had already been circulating on social media about the likelihood that the content was not genuine, since it came from a parody page called O VAR Brasileiro.That information reached the members of the STJDs Sixth Disciplinary Committee. And the situation changed, as reported by Uol.Rogrio Pastl, Inters lawyer in the case, did not deny it as he tried to explain himself."Obviously, we submitted it as authentic, but I would have to check that information now. In any case, out of procedural fairness, since your vote will be decisive on this matter, you should disregard this evidence or suspend the trial until we can provide that information. The information from the staff who gathered this evidence inside the office was that it was indeed the VAR audio, but I have no way of giving you the source right now, at this moment, unless I stop here and go check the origin of these audios," he said.At that point, the score was 2 votes to 1 in favor of a heavier punishment for the player.Aline Jatahy revealed that she had been considering opting for the lighter penalty, six matches, following auditor Rodrigo Bayers vote.A possible tie would have resulted in the lighter punishment for Victor Gabriel."I confess that I was leaning toward agreeing with Dr. Rodrigo (Bayer), considering that I did a quick search here and saw that Mr. (Victor) Gabriel had his first sending-off as a professional. That shows he is not a violent player," she began.But her vote ended up following those of auditor Eduardo Xible and president Jorge Lavocat Galvo."But in light of all the arguments and this new fact... everyone has their own value judgment, you already asked for it to be excluded, but everyone has their own interpretation and autonomy to judge as they see fit. I will follow in favor of applying paragraph three."Paragraph three of article 254 states that "theaccused must remain suspended until the injured athlete is fit to return to training, subject to a maximum period of 180 days."The decision was made at the first level, and therefore an appeal can be filed with the STJDs Full Court.They did not let the controversial audio slide...There was no shortage of reactions on social media over what happened at the STJD.Could it be a scene from The Office?This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMPackers sign tight end Thomas Yassmin, designate him as international exemptionLAS VEGAS, NEVADA - DECEMBER 02: Thomas Yassmin #87 of the Utah Utes runs with the ball during the fourth quarter of the PAC-12 Championship football game against the USC Trojans at Allegiant Stadium on December 02, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Utah Utes won 47-24. (Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesWhen it was reported earlier on Tuesday that international kicker Lenny Krieg was signed by the Green Bay Packers, but that Krieg wasnt designated as the Packers international exemption player moving forward, it raised some eyebrows. That role, apparently, was going to go to tight end Thomas Yassmin following the release of edge rusher Dante Barnett, who previously served as the Packers exemption player.In total, here were the moves that the Packers made on Tuesday, following a nine-man workout on Monday:Signed K Lenny KriegSigned TE Thomas Yassmin (international exemption)Waived EDGE Dante BarnettWaived K Lucas HavrisikBelow is the blurb we wrote about Yassmin yesterday:Yassmin is a former rugby player who is eligible to be designated as an international exemption player (currently a spot taken by edge rusher Dante Barnett). Yassmin transitioned to football in South Wales before joining Utahs football team. After six years of college football, he got his NFL start with the Denver Broncos and was also a member of the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. He was drafted in the CFLs global draft as the 14th overall pick in the 2024 class, becoming the second tight end off the board (five of the first nine picks were kickers or punters, for perspective).When the Broncos signed Yassmin, he received $47,000 in guarantees. For reference, the Packers signed R.J. Maryland to $15,000 in guaranteed money this offseason. Yassmins initial signing cost dwarfs more than half of Green Bays 2026 UDFA signings.Between being let go by the Broncos and signing with the Chargers, Yassmin also worked out with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025. Yassmin was waived by Los Angeles in May.Notably, the Packers worked out three tight ends (and four running backs) on Monday out of the nine players they brought in. Green Bay placed both Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.On paper, the following tight ends are healthy at the start of camp, following the addition of Yassmin:Josh WhyleLuke Lachey (signed post-draft this offseason)Messiah SwinsonDrake DabneyR.J. Maryland (UDFA rookie)Thomas YassminFor what its worth, the Packers can add the international exemption status to Krieg in the future if they would like to. This is to say that if the team wanted to move on from Yassmin once Kraft and/or Musgrave get healthy, Krieg can slide into the international exemption slot and free up another roster spot for an American player.0 Comments 0 Shares 101 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMEverything Greg Schiano said during 2026 Big Ten Media DayJul 28, 2026; Chicago, IL, USA; Rutgers Football head coach Greg Schiano speaks during Media Days at Hilton Chicago. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectRutgers was present during the first day of Big Ten Media Days from Chicago.On Tuesday morning, head coach Greg Schiano took the podium before joining the Big Ten Network, along with player representatives KJ Duff, Antwan Raymond, and Kwabena Asamoah.Here is what Greg Schiano had to say during his appearances about the upcoming season.During Big Ten Media Days Press ConferenceOn program changes people do not see:I believe strongly in protecting the football but also taking the football away. We did a great job protecting the football and I expect to do even better. Its a programmatic thing that goes throughout our entire coaching staff, every player, our trainers, our equipment manager. Anyone is allowed to coach ball security within our program. What we need to do is get better at taking the ball away. We need to get better at defense period. That is why we hired Travis Johansen as our new coordinator. I am really thrilled and excited to see the chemistry between the players and the coaches.On matchup with Indiana and Curt Cignetti:First of all, congratulations to Coach Cignetti and the entire Indiana program. Were all very proud. Three different national champions, different programs. Thats what one of the things that makes the Big Ten the best conference in the country. Im excited about the opportunity to coach against Coach Cig. I havent had that chance. Family relationships, Ive worked with his brother so were familiar with each other. Thats just another great Big Ten football game that we expect to be competitive in.On defensive scheme under Johansen:Its going to be a little different. I think its going to be a mix of a lot of things. I think Travis has an understanding on what we need to do with the personnel that we have. That to me is coaching. Using the players, putting them in the best position to make plays. I think Travis is a really talented coach, not just in the Xs and Os. Like I said earlier, hes building relationships and chemistry. Im excited about the course where were headed.On managing personalities to enhance culture:Its becoming more and more of a factor as college football grows. To me, its about relationships. Theres nothing about relationships that are easy. It takes time, it takes investment. You have to be willing to do that. One of the things that thrills me about the vertical alignment at Rutgers is that I get to take more time to take interest in the players lives. My goal is to win a national championship at Rutgers, but my purpose is to make sure that every young person thats put under my watch, that were developing them as husbands, as fathers, and being a productive member of society. To be able to do that because Im not running all over New Jersey and New York to raise NIL funds, thats what I mean when I say vertical alignment.During Appearance on Big Ten NetworkOn what needs to improve from 2025:We had an offense that I thought was good enough to win nine, 10, maybe even 11 games, but we were really poor on defense. It was no mystery on what we had to fix. Weve been fixing it for the last eight months. We went out and hired Coach Johansen. It doesnt mean that we start where we left off on offense. You have to adapt.On having sons on staff:It is the best part of the job for me. The fact that I get to see my sons everyday at work. Theyre all spread out in different units but theyre learning from great coaches. Theyre helping our program. I see how hard they work. Youre coachs kids and your sons the head coach, you want to help anyway you can.On quarterback competition following Kaliakmanis:This is a little different. He (Kirk Ciarrocca) has worked with AJ for two years and Dylan has come in and really himself with the program. Thats how Kirk is. Kirk is gonna lock himself in a room with the quarterbacks and probably not unlock for a few hours. They both performed very well this spring so I was not ready to make a decision. Well make one at some point during camp.On hiring Travis Johansen:It didnt happen fast. I thought I had a guy picked right away and accepted then kind of backed out of it. Sometimes the best things that happen are the things that dont. Once I got with Travis, I knew this was the right guy. Ive been excited about what hes done since he arrived. Organized, really fine technically fundamentally, and he builds relationshipsI have all the faith in Travis. Well be a much better defense. Its just how much better.On defensive changes:Some of it was schematic. You cant talk out of both sides of your mouth. I felt sometimes we were down the middle and Im part of that. Im guilty as charged. Im excited about fundamentally what were doing and I think that will lead to more takeaways. But mostly sound defense. If theyre going to score, theyre going to have to work for it.On right time to pick QB:You wish after that first scrimmage. I think our first scrimmage is practice 12. But if its not time yet, its not time yet but it better be the week after. I dont want to go much more than that because right soon after that, youre getting into your first game prep for UMass.On vertical alignment:I think its a big thing, especially in this league. The first four or five years of NIL, it was a one or two man shop in our building. To compete in this league is hard to do. When President Tate was hired, Keli Zinn got hired. Now, all of a sudden, the President, athletic director, and head football coach, we all saw winning at Rutgers the same way. We also saw the investment that must be made to do that. We dont have to be at the top, we learn to do more with less, but you cant be that much less. I think its in a good spot and its only going to get better.As long as we have vertical alignment, I think NIL and all those things will help Rutgers make a faster climb. I also thing when you have access and expand the college football playoff, that access will make for much more exciting games in November.On priorities in NIL:I love going heavy offensive line in high school kids. Its probably the position you hit on the least so throw your developmental money there, get guys in the program and develop them from there. By the time you have to pay them, you know if theyre good fits for your programs. I think the needs of your team are going to dictate that as well. You can have your philosophy but if a couple guys walk out the door, your philosophy is going to change quickly.0 Comments 0 Shares 121 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMSeahawks waive former Georgia running backThe Seattle Seahawks have waived running back Kenny McIntosh, a former Georgia Bulldog. McIntosh won Super Bowl 60 with the Seahawks last season, but it was bittersweet because McIntosh tore his ACL prior to the 2025 NFL season, so he watched Seattle's triumphant season from the sidelines. McIntosh was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on July 20. Seattle elected to waive McIntosh, which means he is likely not healthy yet. McIntosh was expected to make $1.1 million in 2026 and was entering a contract year. He will now hope to find a new niche in the NFL. McIntosh was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft. He's appeared in 20 career NFL games including all 17 in 2024. McIntosh has 31 carries for 172 yards in his NFL career. He won national titles at Georgia in 2021 and 2022. McIntosh notably had 126 total yards and a touchdown in Georgia's comeback win over Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals.Seattle is also placing running back Zach Charbonnet on the PUP list. Charbonnet tore his ACL during Seattle's playoff run and is seeking to return in Week 1. The Seahawks drafted Jadarian Price in the first-round of the 2026 NFL draft to help fill the void with Charbonnet possibly out and Kenneth Walker leaving via free agency. Seattle also has backup running backs George Holani and Emanuel Wilson.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COM49ers HC Kyle Shanahan clarifies the details of his accident on July 14LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 21: Head coach of the Wildcats FFC, Kyle Shanahan looks on before the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium on March 21, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images for OBB Media - FANATICS STUDIOS) | Getty Images for OBB Media - FANInitial reports about San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan claimed he was not at fault for the car crash that occurred on July 14.According to the California Crash Reporting System database Case ID 5249308 Shanahan was allegedly holding and using his cell phone prior to the crash. Still, Shanahan was not considered at fault. It was determined that the 21-year-old woman driving made an unsafe turn, which resulted in the crash. Both airbags were deployed.The state of California prohibits holding and operating a cell phone while driving, according to Vehicle Code 23123.5(a), but Shanahan was not cited.Chris Simms said he received pictures from Kyles wife, Mandy. Simms said, He was this close to maybe losing his right eye. The scar is so big right here. And hes still battling with this concussion. Hes healing. His face looks a whole lot better, but this concussion, of course, being part of that kind of accident, is lingering, and its giving him issues.Heres more from Simms, via PFT live on Monday:I dont think hed have any problem with me sharing this. It hit him hard, right? He was emotional about it, because he realized how close it was to being just a complete, you know, utter disaster. Like, really, it was a disaster anyways. But, you know, when youre that part of that accident, like I said, he could have lost his right eye. It could have been a lot worse. You know, hes very concerned about the woman he got in the accident with and how she is and handling that situation. So theres just a lot there. And I think it was a lot for him to process . . . at first as well. And then, of course, with it being, you know, a few days before youve got to start going to the office and worrying about football and everything else on top of it, where your breaks ending and youre dealing with that as well, yeah, it was tough for him. Its tough for their family. Their kids were in shock, and, you know, you just realize how fragile life can be, and how it can all change in just one split second. And thank God hes okay. But, yeah, hes gonna have to deal with this and, you know, hopefully get his mind cleared up here over the next few weeks.Speaking of PFT, Mike Florio continues to focus on why this story didnt come out sooner and why Bay Area media isnt going down a rabbit hole to find out information about the case, as opposed to Shanahans health.He wasnt at fault in a serious, traumatizing accident. We are not entitled to every detail that happens with the 49ers or Shanahan. It does not matter when we get this information. The only reason we can access details about the car accident is through Shanahans friend, Simms, or public records. Thats more than enough.The official language for cell phone use: A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a base fine of twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense and fifty dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense.Lets not pretend to act all high and mighty because Shanahan had his phone in his hand. Its something everyone does, and you can see it if you look to your right or left when youre driving. If the state of California felt like it was a serious offense, the penalties would be much more severe. Thats not to excuse using the phone, but the potential fines speak for themselves.Kyles update, 12:33 p.m. PT: Kyle Shanahan met with a few media members to clarify details from the accident. According to Matt Maiocco, Shanahan said, I was going 20 miles an hour. I was not on my phone, but I dropped my phone, and it was stuck in my seats. It was on my lap, and it slid off, and I went down to look for it, and took my eyes off the road for two seconds, and I was coming up; the airbags hit me in my face.Shanahan corrected reports saying that he was not at fault. Shanahan said, I hit her. I dont know why it was reported that way. Apparently, this all stemmed from a clerical error in the California Crash Reporting System database that is being corrected.Shanahan continued, saying, It just crushed me that the other driver gets blamed for it. Theres nothing for Shanahan to hide in this situation, so good on him for coming out and stating the truth.0 Comments 0 Shares 103 Views 0 Reviews

SPORTS.YAHOO.COMMLB Reacts: Tarik Skubal could change the future of MLBANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA - JULY 18: Tarik Skubal #29 of the Detroit Tigers looks on during the third inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on July 18, 2026 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Ryan Sun/Getty Images) | Getty ImagesThere is really nothing like the trade deadline in MLB. Yes, other leagues have an in-season deadline, and it can be a season defining moment for those leagues as well, but in Major League Baseball the ripple effect of a deadline deal could last for a decade or more. Teams at the deadline are basically debating between their ability to win a championship in the next two years vs. five years down the road. Those are the stakes for every trade involving an All-Star level talent. But this year has at least the possibility of a trade that would hit the league like a tornado. The Detroit Tigers are currently 50-57, six games back in the A.L. Central and four games out of the Wild Card. Far from insurmountable, but with the amount of teams in their way it would be a heavy lift. Its been a letdown season for the Tigers who had World Series aspirations. Now they are faced with an organization defining decision. Should they trade arguably the best pitcher in baseball? Tarik Skubal is a two-time Cy Young winner who is still four months away from turning 30-years old. He could, if healthy, be in his prime for at least another five seasons. Thats five seasons of an ace who can lead a team through the postseason. That kind of pitcher isnt often available, and any trade would require an absolute haul of prospects and young talent in return. It would take an all-in move by a team ready to win now and not worried about depleting their Minor League organization. On the other side of the coin, the Tigers arent a team that looks to be in desperate need of a rebuild just yet. There is plenty of talent on that team in a division that feels gettable in the near future. But with the uncertainty looming next season, maybe the time is right to cash in? For this weeks MLB Reacts survey, we want to know if you think the Tigers WILL trade Skubal before this years deadline. Get your answers in quick and be on the lookout for results later this week!0 Comments 0 Shares 101 Views 0 Reviews
