NFLPA exec director Lloyd Howell Jr. steps down amid controversy

NFLPA exec director Lloyd Howell Jr. steps down amid controversy

Lloyd Howell Jr. stepped down as executive director of the NFL Players Association on Thursday night following weeks of scrutiny for multiple blunders, including a reported conflict of interest and a decision to hide key parts of an arbitration ruling from the players. "It's clear that my leadership has become a distraction to the important work the NFLPA advances every day," Howell said in a statement. "For this reason, I have informed the NFLPA Executive Committee that I am stepping down as Executive Director of the NFLPA and Chairman of the Board of NFL Players effective immediately. I hope this will allow the NFLPA to maintain its focus on its player members ahead of the upcoming season. "I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish at the NFLPA over the past two years. I will be rooting for the players from the sidelines as loud as ever, and I know the NFLPA will continue to ensure that players remain firmly at the center of football's future." Last week, ESPN reported that Howell held a part-time role as a consultant for The Carlyle Group, one of a small handful of private equity firms that the NFL has approved to pursue minority ownership in franchises. ESPN's reporting included a former lead outside counsel for the NFLPA, Jim Quinn, calling it "an outrageous conflict for the head of a labor union to have an interest in a third party that is aligned with the NFL." It was not the first blow to Howell's reputation this offseason. In June, the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast published an arbitrator's report from January, when the NFLPA and the league were at odds over potential collusion by team owners to tamp down the growth of quarterback contracts. The arbitrator, Christopher Droney, ruled that there wasn't sufficient evidence of collusion between owners -- but he went on to say that "by a clear preponderance of the evidence," commissioner Roger Goodell and the NFL's general counsel encouraged owners to restrict guaranteed money in player contracts. Howell and the union reportedly had a confidentiality agreement with the NFL to keep the full report from getting out. Howell briefed the players but didn't provide them copies of the report, according to ESPN. Furthermore, Howell sits on the board of OneTeam Partners, a group licensing firm that is under investigation by the FBI. --Field Level Media

Damian Lillard finalizing deal to return to Trail Blazers after suffering Achilles injury during playoffs: Reports

Damian Lillard finalizing deal to return to Trail Blazers after suffering Achilles injury during playoffs: Reports

Damian Lillard has a new team after he was surprisingly waived by the Milwaukee Bucks at the start of NBA free agency. Lillard is finalizing a three-year, $42 million deal to return to the Portland Trail Blazers,according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Per Charania, Lillard, Portland GM Joe Cronin and head coach Chauncey Billups had multiple meetings in recent weeks en route to Lillard's comeback. Lillard heads back to Portland after an injury-riddled season, in which he played just 58 regular-season games due to hamstring, groin and calf injuries. When healthy, he performed like his usual self, averaging 24.9 points, 7.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds. Lillard didn't miss significant time until the end of the regular season, when doctorsdiscovered a blood clotin his right calf. As the NBA playoffs approached, however,Lillard surprisingly recovered, and returned to the team during its series against the Indiana Pacers. Lillard now will have a 2025-26 set salary of $70M between his Portland and Milwaukee deals, and a salary of $141M over the next two years ahead of an opt-out in 2027. Blazers officials and Aaron Goodwin of Goodwin Sports Management are finalizing terms this week.https://t.co/m8JqsjzXVE — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania)July 17, 2025 His return lasted just two and a half games, as Lillardruptured his left Achillesin Game 4 of the team's series against the Pacers. Lillard was ruled out for the rest of the season, and the Bucks went on to lose the series in five games. With Lillard facing months of recovery, the Bucks opted to waive the star guard when free agency started in July. Lillard is still owed $113 million, which the Bucks will beallowed to spread outover multiple seasons to lessen Lillard's cap hit. Following the move, anumber of contending teams, including the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers reportedly reached out to Lillard's camp looking to sign the veteran, per The Athletic. The injury adds a fair amount of uncertainty to Lillard's career moving forward. The 34-year-old has been among the league's best shooters over his 13-year career. After winning the Rookie of the Year award during the 2012-13 season, Lillard went on to make nine All-Star teams, seven All-NBA teams and has five top-10 MVP finishes. Despite his age, Lillard was still putting up solid numbers before his season was ruined by the blood clot and the Achilles injury. With the move, the Trail Blazers are hoping Lillard can remain an effective scorer coming off the injury. While it's unclear when Lillard will be able to return to action, you can bet he'll be motivated to prove he still has plenty left in the tank, especially after his shocking release by the Bucks.

8 bands divided by lawsuits: It's not just Jane's Addiction

8 bands divided by lawsuits: It's not just Jane's Addiction

Bands behaving badly? It's only rock 'n' roll. Members of alternative rock bandJane's Addiction filed dueling lawsuitsWednesday over singerPerry Farrell's onstage scufflewith guitarist Dave Navarro at a Boston concert last year, a fracas thatprompted the cancellationof the rest of their reunion tour and a planned album. They join a long and storied tradition of bandmates suing one another, taking interpersonal and legal troubles from the recording studio to the courtroom. Here's a look at a few very famous cases. Jane's Addiction WHAT HAPPENED: Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Eric Averysued Farrellin Los Angeles Superior Court seeking at least $10 million, alleging that Farrell's behavior on their recent tour had ranged from erratic to out of control, culminating in an assault where Farrell punched Navarro both onstage and backstage. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: It hasn't been; it's just getting started. Farrell and his wife, Etty Lau Farrell, sued the three bandmates in the same court Wednesday, blaming them for the conflict and the violence. The Beach Boys WHAT HAPPENED: How much time do you have? Thelate, great Brian Wilson,the Beach Boys' leader,feuded with his cousinand bandmate Mike Love over songwriting credits dating back decades. Love had sued Wilson several times, beginning in the 1990s. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: Wilson often wasn't the victor — except in 2007, when U.S. District Judge Audrey Collins threw out one of Love's lawsuits against Wilson. In it, Love alleged that a free, 2004 promotional CD of re-recorded Beach Boys songs cost him millions of dollars and violated Love and Wilson's partnership. Oasis WHAT HAPPENED: The sibling rivalry between Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher is well established. Their brawls not only led to the band's dissolution in 2009,before their 2025 reunion,but also a legal upset. In 2011,Liam sued Noelfor saying Liam's hangover caused the cancellation of a 2009 festival performance. He said in a statement that the lawsuit was not about money, but that he wanted an apology and for Oasis fans "to know the truth" — that laryngitis prevented him from performing. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: The lawsuit was dropped. Creedence Clearwater Revival WHAT HAPPENED: The post-breakup decades ofCreedence Clearwater Revivalwere marked by so much legal and personal infighting that you might think CCR stands for Conflict, Clash, Repeat. In 1996, singer-songwriter-guitarist John Fogerty sued ex-bandmates Doug Clifford and Stu Cook for performing under the name Creedence Clearwater Revisited. That case settled in 2001, but the bandmates sued Fogerty in 2014, alleging he was violating the settlement by continuing to publicly slag off the Revisited name. And they said Fogerty himself was now illegally using Creedence Clearwater Revival in concert advertising.Fogerty sued back in 2015, saying Cook and Clifford weren't paying him proper songwriting royalties for their performances. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: A federal court merged the two cases, and the resulting hybrid was settled under confidential terms in 2017. Fleetwood Mac WHAT HAPPENED:Fleetwood Macand feuds are practically synonymous. Breakups and divorces between members are essential to some of their best songs. The conflict resumed in the 2010s when the band kicked lead guitaristLindsey Buckingham off their 2018 tour, and he sued. Buckingham claimed he was told five days after the group appeared at Radio City Music Hall that January that the band would tour without him. He says he would have been paid at least $12 million for his share of the proceeds. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: Later that year, Buckingham said they had settled the lawsuit. Journey WHAT HAPPENED: At some point, two key members ofJourneystopped believin' in each other. And all over an Amex. Longtime guitaristNeal Schon sued longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cainin 2022, saying Cain was refusing to let him use the band's American Express card. A counterclaim came from Cain, who said that Schon was running up enormous personal charges on the band's account. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: A judge in 2024 appointed a custodian over the band's financial decisions, specifically empowered to settle disagreements between Schon and Cain. Hall & Oates WHAT HAPPENED: In 2023, Daryl Hallsued his longtime music partnerJohn Oates, arguing that Oates' plan to sell off his share of a joint venture would violate the terms of a business agreement theHall & Oatesduo had forged long before. The move quickly prompted a judge to temporarily block the sale. HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: The lawsuit and arbitrationare ongoing. The Beatles WHAT HAPPENED: Their artistic partnership had been over for months, butthe Beatleshad to break out the barristers to break up their business.Paul McCartneywent to London's High Court of Justice in 1970 to dissolve the Fab Four's 1967 contractual partnership, which included the Apple record label. McCartney above all wanted to get rid of manager Allen Klein, whom John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr wanted to keep as overseer of their business. "The only way for me to save The Beatles and Apple," McCartney told British GQ in 2020, "was to sue the band." HOW IT WAS RESOLVED: The court ruled in McCartney's favor and appointed a receiver to oversee their ventures in 1971. But negotiations and wrangling continued until a long-term solution that would become known as "The Beatles Agreement" was signed by all four members in 1974.

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham cryptically post lyrics, prompting landslide of reactions from fans

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham cryptically post lyrics, prompting landslide of reactions from fans

Hope (silver) springs eternal. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham posted matching excerpts from their 1973 song "Frozen Love" on Thursday, promptingspeculation among fansthat something more may be coming. Nicks, who is scheduled to begin a solo U.S. tour in August, shared on X a white background image with black cursive text that read, "And if you go forward …" About an hour later, Buckingham posted the lyric's second half: "I'll meet you there." The lyric is the final line of "Frozen Love," a track from "Buckingham Nicks," the only album the two released as a duo before joining Fleetwood Mac in 1975. Nicks and Buckingham — and more pointedly their tumultuous personal relationship — remain a pop culture symbol of intense romance followed by even more intense heartbreak, fueled in part by a live performance of "Silver Springs" that hasremained a fixture online. The pair had a complicated personal and professional history — both as former romantic partners and as bandmates. Their arrival in Fleetwood Mac in the 1970s helped usher the band's most commercially successful era, but Buckingham wasdismissed from the band in 2018, and the pair have not performed together since. The apparently coordinated nature of the posts, which came just one day after Mick Fleetwood shared an Instagram video of himself listening to "Frozen Love," raised questions about whether the former bandmates might be planning something together. In the video, Fleetwood removes his headphones and calls the song "unbelievable." "The marriage of Stevie and Lindsey, the marriage of coming into Fleetwood Mac when they did, it's all in this song," he said. "It was magic then, it's magic now." Buckingham and Nicks both liked Fleetwood's post and recently began following each other on Instagram — a change noticed by fans who flooded the comments of both musicians' posts asking if a reunion was in the works. As of Thursday afternoon, neither Nicks nor Buckingham had commented further on the posts. Nicks confirmed that singer and keyboardist Christine McVie's death in 2019 meant the end of Fleetwood Mac. Representatives for Nicks and Buckingham did not reply to requests for comment.
