Former Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly suspended by CFL over sexual harassment claims
SUMMARY: Chad Kelly, the reigning MVP of the Canadian Football League, has been suspended for at least nine regular season games and two preseason games amid sexual harassment allegations. A lawsuit by a former strength and conditioning coach of the Toronto Argonauts accuses Kelly of sexual harassment and claims wrongful termination, seeking damages from both Kelly and the club. Despite denying the allegations, Kelly must undergo assessments and attend counseling sessions on gender-based violence to be reinstated. The league emphasized the importance of player conduct and the need for Kelly's self-reflection. No sanctions were announced against the Argonauts.

Senate neglects to reconfirm Bentz as wildlife commissioner amid illegal hunting investigation
SUMMARY: Leonard Bentz, Jr. will not return as a Mississippi Wildlife Commissioner after he faced criticism for illegally hunting turkeys in Holmes County. The legislative session ended without Governor Tate Reeves nominating Bentz for reappointment. Despite Bentz's assertion of ignorance regarding the illegal baiting with crickets on the property, his citation added to previous concerns from outdoors enthusiasts questioning his qualifications, particularly concerning chronic wasting disease policies. Bentz, who formerly served as a public service commissioner, was appointed to the wildlife commission by Reeves but is no longer listed as a commissioner on the MDWFP website.
