Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say
- During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.
- Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.
- The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.

NFL owners approve a radical overhaul to kickoff rules, AP source says, adopting setup used in XFL
mercurynews.com/2024/03/26/nfl-owners-approve-a-radical-overhaul-to-kickoff-rules-ap-source-says-adopting-setup-used-in-xfl/
Quick Glance: New NFL Kickoff Format to Promote Increased Returns
- The NFL has approved a change to the kickoff format to encourage more returns. Kickoffs will have a different appearance starting next season as the league's owners have given the green light to the hybrid kickoff model.
- With the new rule, kickers will continue to kick off from their own 35-yard line, while the other 10 members of the kicking team will be positioned at the opposing team's 40-yard line.
- The fresh kickoff rule was designed to promote more returns and reduce injuries on kickoffs, taking inspiration from the XFL's kickoff rule.
- The NFL will implement the new kickoff rule on a one-year basis, with the option to either extend or abolish the rule in 2025, and has also approved other rule changes like moving the trade deadline back by one week to the Tuesday after Week 9.
