Jed York arrested for engaging prostitution

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York used an alias when he sent text messages over two days to a woman he believed to be a prostitute before he was arrested in a sting operation in Ohio, according to a police incident report obtained Tuesday.

The report from the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force had more than two pages redacted but provided more details about what led to York's arrest and ultimately to him pleading no contest Monday to two misdemeanors.

York initially responded to an advertisement placed by police on a known prostitution website on Saturday, according to the report, sending two messages that went unanswered and saying his name was “Joe” and that he wanted to visit the woman.

49ers Owner Jed York arrested

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested over the weekend in Ohio and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.

York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, and was released after posting a $5,000 bond. He was sentenced to one day in jail for both offenses to be served concurrently and was credited with one day served when he pleaded no contest Monday morning. He also was fined $1,150.

Court records show that York initially was charged with engaging in prostitution, but prosecutors amended that to disorderly conduct. Records also show that York had a cellphone returned to him and that $160 that was seized was to be given to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of the plea agreement. York also completed on online course.

The 49ers and the NFL didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The 46-year-old York took over day-to-day control of the 49ers from his parents in 2008. He became the team’s principal owner in 2024. After some initial struggles under York’s leadership, the team has been a consistent contender since hiring coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch in 2017.

Mahomes is confident he’ll start the season

Patrick needs a serious bounce back season. An injury free season and a season with teammates that have the desire to win. If it were up to Patrick Mahomes, he would have suited up for Saturday's preseason game. Though he didn't, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback says he should be ready for the team's regular-season opener Sept. 14.

This is a good sign….. Mahomes told the broadcast during Saturday's exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he's "extremely confident" he'll play Week 1. But you need to wonder how much truth is there to this statement.

Mahomes, who suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee last December, said he wanted to play Saturday, but the decision wasn't up to him. He is hoping to feature in the Chiefs' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 28. Maybe things will progress and continue to improve give the Chiefs their starting quarterback to begin the season.

Buckle up, will Patrick start? We will see.

Puka Nacua leaves with injury

Yikes, Puka Nacua leaves early with injury. This could definitely hurt the Rams if he doesn’t return quickly. The question becomes, how severe is the injury and how long will it take to recover. That’s what the Rams will be uncovering as soon as possible.

Defensive end Myles Garrett was held out of the Los Angeles Rams' joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, while wide receiver Puka Nacua left the workout early because of an apparent injury.

Sean McVay said Garrett did not participate as a precaution because of swelling in his knee, which has the two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year who was acquired in a blockbuster trade in June feeling 85% healthy, according to his new head coach. Garrett missed time earlier in training camp because of what McVay described as lower body soreness.

Gibbs signs HUGE contract with Lions

Oh wow, huge contract alert!!!

The Detroit Lions are signing running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a three-year extension worth up to $75.75 million. This is insane people….. can anyone please explain to me how or why one player can make this kind of money? Honestly, think about it. It’s ridiculous when we have millions of people struggling and starving all over the world.

The new deal makes Gibbs the NFL's highest-paid running back ahead of Bijan Robinson, who inked a three-year contract worth up to $75 million earlier this week.

Gibbs' deal is worth $67.5 million before the incentives that could bump it to $75.75 million and contains $51.5 million in guaranteed money.
