A civil lawsuit has accused Texas Tech sophomore Pop Isaacs of sexually assaulting a minor. A copy of the lawsuit was first obtained by ESPN. 

The alleged incident took place in November during a Red Raiders team trip to the Bahamas. The team traveled to Paradise Island to compete in the Battle 4 Atlantis basketball tournament. 

The alleged victim was 17 years old at the time. An individual must be at least 16-years-old in order to give consent in the Bahamas. However, the lawsuit states that the female was under the influence at the time, negating her ability to give consent.

The lawsuit is seeking $1 million in damages. Texas Tech released a statement on Friday saying that Isaacs, “remains in good standing.”

The lawsuit also stated that the plaintiffs contacted Red Raiders coach Grant McCasland on December 14. He then reported the incident to athletic director Kirby Hocutt and other university officials. Isaacs has played in four games since then.

The school said in its statement the accusation was “immediately and properly” reported to its Title IX office, and that an investigation began promptly.

The athletic department “reached out to the Title IX office on two occasions and was informed both times that, based upon the information, Pop Isaacs remains in good standing, and there is no reason to withhold him from university activities, including basketball competition,” the statement said.

The school said its Title IX investigation will continue until it is completed, “regardless of the civil lawsuit.”

The lawsuit was filed in Lubbock County by the parents of the girl who says she was assaulted.

The lawsuit alleges a Texas Tech booster bought alcoholic drinks for Isaacs and a teammate. They were in a room with two girls, ages 17 and 16. The lawsuit says that Isaacs and the 17-year-old went to another room, where she was sexually assaulted after she “attempted to fight him off,” according to the ESPN report.

Isaacs, a 20-year-old sophomore from Las Vegas, is averaging 15.8 points and 3.4 assists per game. He is 10th in the Big 12 in scoring and shared conference player of the week honors this week with West Virginia’s RaeQuan Battle.

Fox Sports sideline reporter Erin Andrews has covered the NFL for a long time, so she’s bound to have an interesting story or two about her interactions with the fans. 

On the latest episode of the “Calm Down” podcast with Charissa Thompson, Andrews discussed a rather aggressive fan who wanted a picture. 

“I was standing – name-drop – with Baker Mayfield before the game, talking, because I haven’t seen him for the past year,” Andrews said on the podcast. “And as I’m standing there, this guy was like ‘Erin, come over here! I want a picture!'”

“And I was just like, ‘Am I an animal in a zoo?’”

The fan’s behavior even drew a reaction from Mayfield. 

“Baker tapped me on the shoulder, he’s like, ‘Have fun with that one,’” Andrews continued.‘

“‘I want a picture!’” Andrews said while imitating the fan. “You know what? I want a lot of things, but am I screaming at you?”

It wasn’t the only story Andrews told of her interactions as a well-known sports media member.

On the way back from covering the Miami Dolphins versus Dallas Cowboys game on Christmas Eve, Andrews recalled an interaction while at the Fort Lauderdale airport as she tried to get a quick bite to eat. 

“This guy is clearly over-served,” Andrews said. “I don’t know if his flight was delayed, or he was over-served.” 

“We got 10 minutes before the bar closes. Can I get a quick burger? No cheese, fries. I don’t care what you have. Can I have something? I haven’t eaten since 8:30 in the morning,” she continued.  

Andrews said one of the workers agreed to get her food and a drink before the man decided to give her some unwanted advice.

“The guy turned around and the bar, and he goes, ‘I know who you are.’ And I was like, ‘Cool. Anyway, thank you so much. Here’s a tip.’ And he goes, ‘You need to smile more.’ And I said, ‘I didn’t ask,’” Andrews recalled. 

Andrews said the man accused her of not being very nice before she responded with a “not nice word.”

The final week of the NFL season kicks off on Sunday, highlighted by the game between the Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East title. 

The Los Angeles Lakers were crowned the first In-Season Tournament (IST) champions just under a month ago. 

Since defeating the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas to win the tournament, the Lakers have gone 3-10 and have now lost four straight games after Friday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. 

A down LeBron James spoke to the media at his locker following the game and offered a blunt assessment of his team’s play.

“I’m not thinking that far in the past, to be honest,” James said when asked whether the Lakers’ issues presented themselves before their current stretch of games. “We just suck right now.”

James put the IST victory, which the Lakers celebrated by hanging a banner at their home arena, in perspective. 

“It was two games though. That’s a small sample. Everybody is getting so cracked up about Vegas. Keep bringing up Vegas,” James said when asked whether the team that won the IST “still exists.”

“It was two games. We took care of that business. That was the In-Season Tournament. We played. We won it. But that was literally just two games.” 

On Friday night, the Lakers lost 127-113 to a Memphis team that earned just its 12th win of the season. The Grizzlies hit a season-high eight three-pointers, including five from center Jaren Jackson Jr. 

“Wearing this uniform, you get a lot of flack, and guys are watching you under a microscope as a team,” Lakers forward Anthony Davis said. “You have a couple of bad games, lose a couple in a row, you can’t lose your confidence. Can’t be on social media, listening to whatever people are saying. We’ve got to stay together in this locker room and find our way out of it. There’s no help coming. There’s no cavalry. We’ve got to do it with the guys we’ve got and remain together.”

Before the game, Lakers head coach Darvin Ham said he continues to have the support of the decision-makers in the organization. 

“I’m solid,” Ham said, according to ESPN. “My governor, Jeanie Buss, the boss lady; our president, Robert Pelinka, we’re all aligned. As long as they’re not saying it, I guess I’m good. Which I know how they feel about me and the situation we’re currently in.”

The Lakers next face the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.

Trevor Bauer has some burned bridges to rebuild, and lots of amends to make.

The 2020 NL Cy Young Award winner made himself into one of the most polarizing figures in baseball, long before bombshell sexual assault allegations that are extremely graphic.

Bauer’s personality on and off the field was either loved or hated – mostly the latter – during his first few years in baseball. Whether it was his sword celebration on strikeouts, or tossing a ball over the center field wall from the mound when Terry Francona was about to yank him, or lambasting a female on social media, Bauer constantly made headlines.

Then, in 2021, he was alleged to have knocked a woman out during sex without her consent – because of the allegations, he served a 194-game suspension from Major League Baseball.

Bauer says he never did anything “from a criminal” standpoint, but that doesn’t mean he never did anything wrong at all.

“I never sexually assaulted anyone – that’s the first thing I have to say. But I did put myself in precarious positions where something like this could happen. I made myself a target,” he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.

That’s why he’s in the process of fixing relationships with three separate parties, the first being women.

“I was completely undisciplined in my personal life…” Bauer said, adding that he’d let people “come into my life, no questions asked” immediately upon a direct message on social media.

“Having casual sexual relationships and just not paying attention to the things I was doing in my personal life. Obviously, that puts you in a position where stuff like this can happen. It’s reckless, for sure. Even though I didn’t do anything from a criminal [standpoint], from my perspective at the time, it was like ‘well, I’m not doing anything wrong, so what can go wrong?’ And that was just naïve and immature. 

“I made a lot of changes – I’m not having casual sexual relationships anymore, I’m applying a lot more scrutiny that I let into my circle and keeping things small, my circle small, not agreeing to do certain things in the bedroom. Made a lot of changes in that area to try to live my life better and be a better person.”

TREVOR BAUER MAKES SALES PITCH FOR RETURN TO MLB: ‘I’M ONE OF THE BEST PITCHERS IN THE WORLD’

Bauer also said he regrets a lot of the “contentious” behavior he’s had with members of the press and fans on social media, firing back at anyone who ripped him.

“I think my viewpoint on it at the time was that I was defending myself. I was bullied a lot as a kid, and my life got a lot better when I started standing up for myself,” Bauer admits. “But in reflection of the past couple years, I should have just had a professional conversation, man-to-man, woman-to-man, conversation to understand perspectives. Probably would’ve made the situation a lot better over the years. 

“I’m not trying to downplay the severity of the allegations. If they happen, they should absolutely looked into. They’re very serious. They didn’t happen, but having that contentious relationship with the media certainly blew this thing up. It didn’t make things better for me, or for the Dodgers organization, for my teammates, for Major League Baseball, and that caused a lot of collateral damage.”

TREVOR BAUER ‘MORE THAN OPEN’ TO SIGNING WITH METS AFTER 2021 OFFSEASON FIASCO

And arguably most importantly, he has a lot of work to do with Major League Baseball in general.

Bauer has publicly been harsh on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred in the past, but now that he’s a business owner himself, he says he had a “big perspective shift.”

“I can’t imagine what I would do if an employee came out and said the things about me publicly that I said about Rob, especially without having those conversations with me privately first. So I look back on those comments with a lot of embarrassment and regret,” he says.

“I wish I would have handled things differently,” he continued. “As everyone grows, you make mistakes, you learn from them hopefully, and you’re better in the future for them. I’ve certainly made a lot of mistakes, and I’ve made a lot of changes in my life to try to repair some of the wrongs that I’ve done and also not make the same mistakes.”

All the above is now Bauer’s elevator pitch to MLB teams, as he looks for his first opportunity to pitch in the majors in nearly three years.

“Anyone who’s willing to listen: I want to make things right and do things better. Whether it’s MLB teams or media members or members of MLB, whoever. I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on the last two and a half years. There’s a lot of things I would like to do better, a lot of severed and damaged relationships I’d like to repair.”

Seventeen weeks have flown by, and we are once again at the end of an NFL season. But we are about to get one of the best final weeks in recent memory because 11 teams have a chance to clinch a playoff spot with just five spots remaining.

Ten games on the slate could potentially affect who makes the playoffs, and some teams could have an easier path with players sitting out to stay healthy for the playoffs.

Some players have contract incentives on the line.

Let’s take a look at the biggest matchups of the weekend.

Games with playoff implications

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens, Saturday, 4:30 p.m.

For the Steelers it’s simple. They need a win and one of the following to happen: Bills loss, Jaguars loss or tie or a Colts-Texas tie. They’re not eliminated with a loss or tie, but it’s rather wonky.

But they are getting a bit of a gift. Since the Ravens have already clinched the No. 1 seed, likely league MVP Lamar Jackson will not play.

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts, Saturday, 8:15 p.m.

This one is pretty simple: Win and in, lose and out. 

A Jacksonville loss or tie gives the winner of this game the AFC South crown.

If this game ends in a tie, though, all hell breaks loose in the AFC.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans, Sunday, 1 p.m.

The Jags are division champs with a win. But if they lose, they will need a lot of help to make the playoffs as a seventh seed. They would need losses by Pittsburgh and Denver and for the Colts-Texans game not be a tie.

Trevor Lawrence remains questionable.

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints, Sunday, 1 p.m.

Neither team can make the playoffs solely by winning this game. They both need help, but whoever loses is out.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers, Sunday, 1 p.m.

The Bucs win the NFC South with a win over the lowly Panthers, who don’t even have their first-round pick next season, which will likely be No. 1 overall.

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers, Sunday, 1 p.m.

The Packers control their own destiny. Win and they’re in the playoffs. But…

Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions, Sunday, 1 p.m.

If the Packers lose and the Vikings win, the Packers are out.

The Vikings are holding on for dear life. They need a win, a Packers loss, a Seahawks loss and then either a Buccaneers or Saints loss.

Anyone ever see “Angels in the Outfield?” It can happen.

The Lions are already NFC North champs and will get either the No. 2 or No. 3 seed. The Lions and Dallas are both 11-5, but Dallas has the tiebreaker after last week’s controversy.

Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals, Sunday, 4:25 p.m.

If the Packers lose (or tie) and the Seahawks win, Green Bay is out, and the Seahawks are in. But if Green Bay wins or Seattle loses, the Seahawks are done.

Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins, Sunday, 8:20 p.m.

The winner of this game clinches the AFC East, but if Buffalo loses, the Bills could miss out on the playoffs.

SAQUON BARKLEY SAYS IT’S A ‘POSSIBILITY’ WEEK 18 WILL BE LAST GAME AS GIANT: ‘IT’S OUT OF MY CONTROL’

If the Jags and Steelers both win, and Saturday’s Colts-Texans game doesn’t end in a tie, Buffalo will need to win to stay alive.

If the Jags or Steelers lose or tie, or if the Colts-Texans game is a tie, Buffalo is in the playoffs.

Got all that? Good. Now, let’s take note of who will not be playing this weekend.

Inactives

Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes

The Chiefs clinched the AFC’s No. 3 seed, meaning they’ll be in action next weekend. Mahomes will rest after maybe the worst regular season of his career.

San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy/Christian McCaffrey

The Niners are locked into the No. 1 seed, but they’ve opted to give two of their top starters an extra bye week. McCaffrey is also nursing a calf injury.

EAGLES’ A.J. BROWN ADDRESSES RUMORS OF LOCKER ROOM TURMOIL AS LOSING SKID CONTINUES

Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson/Odell Beckham Jr.

The Ravens earned a bye in the AFC on the back of likely MVP Jackson. We’ll see if Baltimore rests anyone else Saturday. 

Cleveland Browns’ Joe Flacco

Flacco has turned back the clock since joining the Browns, but with Cleveland locked into the No. 5 seed, he’ll rest before trying to continue his magic carpet ride.

Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford/Kyren Williams/Cooper Kupp

Note how Puka Nacua isn’t on this list. That’s because he’s 29 yards away from setting the all-time record for most receiving yards in a rookie season.

But with the Rams set to be either the sixth or seventh seed, they will rest players who have been battling injuries already this year.

Tennessee Titans’ Will Levis

This could be Ryan Tannehill’s farewell in Nashville.

For the gamblers out there, we’ve got you covered. Some players will be playing for extra cash this weekend (all incentives via the Action Network).

Incentives

Tennessee Titans’ DeAndre Hopkins

Maybe Tannehill and DeAndre Hopkins can connect a few times. Hopkins would like that. He’s 49 yards away from a $1 million bonus. He’d get $250,000 more if he can grab seven catches and another quarter million if he scores twice.

LIONS FANS HAVE 2-WORD REBUTTAL FOLLOWING OFFICIATING CONTROVERSY IN TEAM’S LOSS TO COWBOYS

Houston Texans’ Devin Singletary

With a playoff spot on the line, the running back will be fighting for more. If Singletary can total enough snaps to be on the field for 55% of the snaps for the entire season, he’ll net $250,000. He’s slated to make $125,000 for playing half of them so far, and since he’s become the featured back in recent weeks, it seems likely he’ll get a quarter million.

Atlanta Falcons’ Bud Dupree

Time to see if the Falcons care more about winning or money. 

Dupree has played 62% of his team’s snaps this season but will make $1 million if he plays 65%. He’s played over 65% in 10 of the Falcons’ 16 games this season.

Seattle Seahawks’ Geno Smith

The quarterback has some extra motivation to make the playoffs — $2 million to be exact. That’s his bonus if the Seahawks clinch a playoff spot.

Green Bay Packers’ Jordan Love

Love gets $500,000 if the Pack make the playoffs.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Baker Mayfield

Mayfield is likely to earn $1 million for playing in 85% of snaps this season, but if the Bucs make the playoffs, he’ll earn another million.

Kansas City Chiefs’ Chris Jones

One sack this game will mean a $1.25 million bonus for Jones.
