Super Bowl media night is usually a wild event attended by crazy characters acting as reporters to ask questions of the players. But this year's was more subdued Monday night in the wake of the tragic death of Kobe Bryant.

The event in Miami's Marlins Park began with a moment of silence, which ended with chants of "Kobe! Kobe!" Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes spoke about the L.A. Lakers great, saying, "I wasn’t lucky enough to get to meet Kobe. But the impact that he made in my life, it was huge.”

 

Browns' River Has Drugs, Vodka Found In Car

Dashcam video of a traffic stop released Monday by the police department in Rocky River, Ohio, shows Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt saying he'd fail a drug test for marijuana, and had an open container of vodka in his vehicle. Hunt was pulled over on for speeding last week, and police found marijuana in a backpack.

After the officer found the bag of marijuana, Hunt said it was his brother's, but when asked if he'd fail a drug test, he admitted he would. He said, "It's the offseason. Sorry, I was having a good time." The officer said he would only write a traffic ticket, but would take the backpack, and also warned Hunt about the vodka. The Browns have said they are “aware and looking into” it.

Berger Suspended From Grand Valley State

Offensive coordinator Morris Berger of Division-II Grand Valley State University has been suspended after he told the school’s student newspaper he’d like to have dinner with Adolf Hitler. Berger, who was just hired three days earlier, said when asked what three historical figures he’d most like to have dinner with: "This is probably not going to get a good review, but I’m going to say Adolf Hitler. It was obviously very sad and he had bad motives, but the way he was able to lead was second-to-none. How he rallied a group and a following, I want to know how he did that. Bad intentions of course, but you can’t deny he wasn’t [sic] a great leader.”
