Former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe pulled a braid out of his ex-girlfriend's hair during an argument where she called him a "druggy".
Ibe, 30, ****** aulted his former partner Amie Mayson outside her home in Lambeth, south London, on 14 December.
The attack happened after she confronted him and demanded he repaid her money she said he owed her, Croydon Magistrates' Court heard on Friday.
Prosecutor Aya Alshekhili said that after Ms Mayson asked to be reimbursed, Ibe told her: "No, I'm going to be a ****** ."
Ibe had a bag containing drinks, snacks and flowers, but when she called him a "druggy" he grabbed her arm "hard" and then grabbed her hair, the court was told.

This one is going to be one of the more impossible opponent previews you'll see, as the ECU Pirates have nearly turned over their entire team after a nice 9-4 record last year under coach Blake Harrell. Guys like running back London Montgomery and safety Ja'Marley Riddle (two of their top players last year) have made the jump up to join the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs, and even starting QB Katin Houser transferred to Illinois. Ultimately, the Pirates lost 24 players to the transfer portal, and the best I can tell, wide receiver Brock Spalding and linebacker DJ Johnson Jr. are the only returning starters on the team.
Not only was there major roster turnover for the Pirates, but they also lost both of their coordinators. Offensive coordinator John David Baker, who's taken a promotion up to be the OC for Ole Miss, was replaced with North Texas OC Jordan Davis. Davis was the OC behind the Mean Green's nation-leading 44.8 points per game offense in 2026. It was an up tempo, air raid-like offense and there's a lot of reason for ECU fans to be excited – however, Davis comes with a big caveat: he was the OC in name only, as UNT's head coach Eric Morris was actually the playcaller.
Eric Morris runs many of the same concepts he learned from being a player. He has expanded the run game using a lot more gap runs. WSU and MSST under Leach used mostly inside and outside zones with some DART (backside tackle pulls and leads) to change things up.
How much will Davis's iteration of this offense at ECU look like the Morris offense at UNT? We'll just have to see, so this will be an experience for everyone.
Defensively, the Pirates lost DC Josh Aldredge to USF, and replaced him with Memphis's DC, Jordon Hankins. Memphis was decent on defense under Hankins the last couple of years, and generally ran a 3-high safety look

Chicago State University kicked off a new chapter in its history Saturday, taking the field for its first-ever college football game as it opened its inaugural season at SeatGeek Stadium against Roosevelt University.
Tailgates, grills and enthusiastic fans filled the stadium grounds ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, which drew alumni, students and supporters eager to witness the program's debut.
For some Chicago State alumni, the moment was years in the making.
"There was promises of it when we were in school 20 years ago and it didn't happen so 20 years later to see it were excited," said Chicago State alumni Tameca and Jordonna.
Others said they wanted to support the university as it launches its new program.

Twin brothers Jordon and Mitchell Ricker have done just about everything together, from playing football at MacArthur to earning their degrees from the same college institutions.
But Thursday night was something new in the Rickers' intertwined history.
The Rickers faced off against each other for the first time as head coaches as Jordon's MacArthur Brahmas faced Mitchell's Burbank Bulldogs in their season opener at Alamo Stadium. The brothers enter their second year as head coaches in the first-ever meeting between the two schools.
Jordon emerged victorious with MacArthur downing Burbank 32-10 to earn his first career victory as a head coach. The victory was a long time coming for Jordon, who last season had the difficult task of navigating a juggernaut district that included state champion Smithson Valley as a brand new head coach.
"I'm just so proud of our guys," Jordon said. "We talked all offseason about building our culture and getting in the right direction, and our kids really bought in."

SYDNEY (AP) — Five Australian rules footballers have been banned for the remainder of the AFL season by the Sydney Swans for breaching player codes of conduct during a stay at a Melbourne hotel that has led to a police investigation into allegations of ***** ual ***** ault.
The Swans issued a statement Wednesday saying "Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner will not be considered for selection for the remainder of the 2026 AFL Season," ruling them out of a regular-season game this weekend and the playoffs series.
The Swans said the club-imposed sanctions were independent of an investigation by Victoria state police. No charges have been laid, and no player has been identified as being involved in an alleged ***** ual ***** ault.
Police were called to a hotel in East Melbourne early Monday when a woman made a complaint to staff there.
"We respect there is an ongoing investigation by Victoria Police and the actions we have taken today are independent of this," the Swans statement said, adding that the Australian Football League "is supportive of the club's sanctions."

Five players in the Australian Football League (AFL) have been banned for late-night drinking and inviting women to a hotel after a weekend match in Melbourne.
The Sydney Swans' Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice have been stood down from Australian Rules football's top league for the rest of the season, the club announced.
The suspension comes after detectives in Melbourne began an investigation into an alleged ******* ual ******* ault, said to have to taken place in the early hours of Monday morning at the Pullman Hotel where the players were staying after the match.
None of the players have been arrested or charged in the investigation.
Sydney Swans chairman Andrew Pridham apologised to fans, players and the wider community on Wednesday.

It took until the 12th day of training camp, but we finally got some fights in practice in Green Bay. The first scuffle was between running back Chris Brooks and linebacker Zaire Franklin, but the second one was more involved. Defensive lineman Chris McClellan landed hard on running back Pierre Strong Jr., which led to McClellan and offensive tackle Travis Glover punching and shoving, and the sidelines clearing.
On top of that, edge rusher Barryn Sorrell, who has been starting opposite Lukas Van Ness all camp, pushed tackle Anthony Belton all the way into quarterback Jordan Love. Sorrell was ripped from the drill and was "tore into" by head coach Matt LaFleur, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
At some point during camp, players get tired of banging around with the same guys over and over again. Apparently, the Packers crossed that threshold today.
Beyond the chippiness, here's what happened at practice on Sunday.
The PUP list remains the same, with tight end Luke Musgrave (neck), defensive lineman Jordon Riley (ankle), edge rusher Micah Parsons (knee) and Matt Orzech (calf) still not being activated. The non-participants in practice, beyond the PUP list, were running back Josh Jacobs (groin), offensive lineman Darian Kinnard (ankle), edge defender Lukas Van Ness (shoulder), edge defender Dani Dennis-Sutton (illness) and safety Javon Bullard (foot). Notably, though, Bullard was no longer in a boot in practice, as he's making progress on his bone bruise.

NEW BERLIN, New York: Lachlan Turner overcame a modest start to move into the lead on the second lap of the WMX Moto 2 in the Unadilla National. Along with her win on Friday, Turner swept the motos and extended her winning streak to 10 races after going eight-for-eight in the Australian WMX series.
Charli Cannon also had to come through the pack after starting outside the top five. She passed several riders in the opening laps and once she got into second around Taylah McCutcheon for second, she managed to hold the leaders pace.
Mayla Herrick scored her first overall podium in the WMX series with finishes of fourth in Moto 1 and third in the second moto. Her highly anticipated WMX debut in High Point ended with a crash and concussion in Moto 2 after she won the first race.
Jordon Jarvis overcame a modest start in back-to-back races. On Friday, she got some help after multiple riders crashed on the tricky track. Jarvis finished third in that race, but could only manage to climb to fourth in Unadill's Moto 2. She finished fourth after losing the overall podium on the tiebreaker (best finish in Moto 2).
Mikayla Nielsen rounded out the top five in Moto 2.

Could some things going on behind closed doors have a significant impact on this season, depending on how these conversations go regarding the potential discipline for a handful of players that we believe will be handed down by the start of the regular season?
In the NFL, some players might be hit by trouble, with names like Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs coming up. According to reports, more clarity might come during the regular season or maybe even sooner.

The Green Bay Packers are planning on playing healthy starters against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Before practice on Tuesday, LaFleur stated that even quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play versus the Steelers, though he added that he has the right to change his mind between now and kickoff.
Here's what you missed during the Packers' final practice of preparation leading up to their preseason opener.
Cornerback Domani Jackson's injury has finally been identified. Per LaFleur, Jackson had surgery to his core over the offseason, but he's hopeful that Jackson will "be out there shortly."
Receiver Jayden Reed (ankle), receiver Matthew Golden (toe) and tight end Josh Whyle (neck) all returned to practice today. I think we can all collectively exhale for the status of the pass-catching group. Cornerback Carrington Valentine (hamstring) is also back out on the field.
Running back Josh Jacobs (groin), edge defender Dani Dennis-Sutton (illness) and safety Javon Bullard (foot) join Jackson as injured players on the active list. Meanwhile, tight end Luke Musgrave (neck), edge defender Micah Parsons (knee), defensive lineman Jordon Riley (ankle) and long snapper Matt Orzech (calf) remain on the team's PUP list.

Adam Vinatieri on Bill Belichick's absence at HOF: 'He's judging his girlfriend's cheerleading competition' originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Hall of Fame speeches always have their fair share of humility and humor, and former New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri emphasized the latter during his time on the podium in Canton, Ohio.
It's no secret that Bill Belichick has quite the age gap with his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. It's been the punchline of many jokes around the football world, with Vinatieri adding his name to the list of jokers.
Vinatieri noticed ahead of time that his old coach would not be present at the Hall of Fame induction, and the NFL's all-time leading scorer capitalized on the opportunity.
Here's what the former New England kicker said about his old coach's youthful girlfriend.

On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers had their final practice leading up to Friday's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field. It was closed to the public, but the media were able to attend the practice. Want some good news? There was confirmation today that the Packers will be streaming Family Night on Packers.com for a second straight year, which means that even out-of-market fans will be able to get a look at the team with their own eyes before the preseason starts.
If you want an extended look at the starting offense and defense, this is probably going to be your best shot, considering how conservative the Packers have been with their starters in preseasons past. For perspective, starting running back Josh Jacobs got all of two snaps in the 2025 preseason.
Be sure to join us during the Family Night practice tomorrow, as we'll have a watch thread where we'll be discussing what's going on the field.
Here's what happened in practice today.
There have been no changes to the Packers' reserve/injured lists, as running back Chris Brooks (hamstring) remains on the non-football injury list (he was hurt outside of the facility) and tight end Luke Musgrave (neck), defensive lineman Javon Hargrave (knee), defensive lineman Jordon Riley (Achilles), edge rusher Micah Parsons (knee) and long snapper Matt Orzech (calf) are still on the physically unable to perform list.

The Florida Gators made finalizations to their roster for the upcoming season ahead of Wednesday's fall camp, adding seven players since the end of spring camp in April.
The Gators brought in five freshmen who can help on both sides of the ball: wide receiver Mason Jordan, defensive linemen Stive-Bentley Keumajou-Yondui and Jayden Gross, safety Eric Parks Jr. and long snapper Lincoln Anderson. The program also brought in two transfers, who are both fairly unconventional: tight end Jaylen Jordon and cornerback Javier Jones, who round out the summer acquisitions for Florida.
The Coral Gables, Florida, product was a surprise addition to the 2026 roster. The defensive tackle was originally in the 2027 recruiting class for Florida but reclassified ahead of July 31.
Keumajou-Yondui is a unique prospect — he moved to the United States from England in 2025 and decided to sign with Florida over Auburn, Georgia, Miami, Texas, and Texas A&M, among others. The 6-foot-3-inch, 295-pound prospect was rated a three-star recruit by 247Sports.
The Gators continued the in-state recruiting by bringing in Parks and Jordan. Parks played at Tampa Bay Tech, along with current Gators wideout Dallas Wilson. Parks is a 6-foot, 193-pound three-star who recorded 115 tackles with 15 for loss, two interceptions, and six defended passes over 37 varsity games.

The University of Hawaii baseball team has promoted **** istant coach Jordon Twohig to hitting coach and recruiting coordinator.
Twohig, in his second year with the Rainbow Warriors, also moves into the hot-corner office. Twohig will succeed head coach Rich Hill as the ’Bows’ third-base coach.
“I’m super honored Rich would trust me with something like that,” Twohig said, “and trust the ability of decision-making.”
From the coach’s box near third, Hill would issue the stop or go signs to baserunners, relay strategy and call timeouts to encourage hitters and throw off a pitcher’s rhythm. But Hill said he probably is better “served in the dugout,” among his players, with a macro view and the timing to call changes and plays.
“I said if I felt like that,” Hill added, “I’m going back in.”

MUMBAI: Virat Kohli has made significant progress in his recovery from a hamstring injury and is on track to return to the Indian team for the upcoming ODI series in England, TOI has learnt.

"Kohli has started his rehabilitation, and his injury is healing quickly. He is expected to report to the BCCI's Centre of Excellence for his fitness ***** sment and clearance soon.

If his recovery goes as planned, Kohli is expected to make his comeback to the team in the upcoming England series," a source said.
The Indian ODI squad for the tour of England is set to be picked later this week.

"The selection committee meeting to pick India's ODI team for the England tour will be held in the next three to four days," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia told TOI on Thursday.

The three-match ODI series between India and England will be played from July 14 to 19, with matches scheduled in Birmingham, Cardiff and Lord's.

The 37-year-old Kohli missed the ongoing home ODI series against Afghanistan due to the hamstring injury, with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal replacing him.

The superstar batter has been consulting renowned orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwalla, who is based at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Mumbai and serves as the BCCI's consultant orthopaedic surgeon.
Kohli had suffered the hamstring injury during his unbeaten 75 off 42 ***** in the IPL final, which helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru chase down 156 against Gujarat ***** ans and clinch their second successive IPL ***** le.

On Tuesday, several pictures surfaced online showing Kohli spending time in London, where he currently lives, with English batter Jordon ***** , his Royal Challengers Bengaluru teammate. The meeting came hours before the 25-year-old was named in England's playing XI for the second Test against New Zealand, which began at The Oval on Wednesday.
While announcing India's squads for the series against Afghanistan in Mumbai on June 6, chief selector Ajit Agarkar had indicated that Kohli could be fit for the England series, but added that there was "no clear timeline" from the physio regarding his return.

"With Virat, it's just been less than a week since he injured himself in the IPL final. We don't know the timelines yet. But it looks like he might be fit for that England one-day series. It's not a definitive answer, so don't hold me to it. I haven't had a clear timeline from the physio yet," Agarkar had said.
