• Mixed verdict: Jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial acquitted him of the most serious charges — racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking — but found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.


Mmm

• Sentencing outlook: Combs could get a prison sentence of up to 20 years — the maximum is 10 for each of the transportation counts. The defense has asked that Combs be released while he awaits sentencing, and the judge is expected to make a decision on that request soon.


• Reactions: After the verdict, Combs faced the courtroom gallery and clapped. A lawyer for accuser Cassie Ventura said the verdict is not their desired outcome, but Ventura is grateful for the two convictions

 ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. has provided his analysis of the 2025 NFL Draft's first round, highlighting the standout selections, surprising decisions, and value picks.​ ESPN mmm Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft kicked off with a bang. It was an unpredictable, action-packed night that delivered surprises early and often. As expected, the Titans opened the evening by selecting quarterback Cam Ward. But things quickly got wild when the Jaguars stunned everyone by trading up to No. 2 to grab two-way standout Travis Hunter. The Giants followed up with a bold pair of moves: first taking edge rusher Abdul Carter, then later trading up to snag quarterback Jaxson Dart—even with Shedeur Sanders still available. In a long-awaited move, the Packers finally selected a wide receiver in Round 1, ending a decades-long trend by picking Matthew Golden. Meanwhile, the Falcons doubled down on defense with two edge rushers, and more guards than quarterbacks flew off the board—a rarity in modern drafts. So,...

He now awaits his opportunity as teams prepare for the start of Round 2. In a video shared on social media following the conclusion of the first round, Sanders acknowledged he didn’t expect to still be on the board but remained positive and in good spirits.

 Is the 12-day Israel-Iran war really over – and who gained what? mmm Since Sunday, the Middle East has lurched from escalating war to fragile ceasefire. A truce seems to be holding, and what US President Donald Trump called “The 12 Day War” between Israel and Iran seems to be over – for now. Meanwhile, Trump, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iran’s leaders have all claimed that the pause in the conflict happened on their terms. So, what’s the truth? What did Israel achieve? Did Iran manage to defend its strategic assets? And is the truce a pathway to peace? How did events unfold? Late on Saturday night, at Israel’s behest, the US entered the Israeli-Iranian war with strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, “completely obliterating” them, in Trump’s words. On Monday, Iran struck back, firing missiles at the largest US airbase in the Middle East, Al Udeid in Qatar. It appeared as though the Middle East was poised for a broader, longer war Bu...
