DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — MAP Digital Network and Tech Legacies are proud to unveil The Execs Collect Show, an extraordinary new series that explores the fascinating intersection of elite business leaders and high-demand collectibles. Featuring top executives who have mastered the art of collecting investment-grade memorabilia—sports, artifacts, pop culture treasures, rare coins, and more—The Execs Collect Show offers viewers an unprecedented look at this growing trend and business of collecting. The upfronts are off to an interesting start for the media industry, with political media attacks, tariffs and stock market uncertainty leading the way to nervousness and flexibility for all parties. “Rolling out new shows with this as the background has led to major New York media companies responding with spin-offs and more comedy, sports, superhero, animation shows that will positively influence the hot sports and pop culture collectibles market” says Jacob R. Miles III of Miles Analysts Partners and the co-host of the Execs Collect Show.

Monday marks the beginning of upfront week, the annual ritual of programmers pitching advertising buyers. The theme for this year is flexibility given the level of uncertainty in the marketplace.

NBCUniversal, Fox, Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount are still leading the way, though they continue to face stiff competition in the form of Amazon, Netflix and YouTube. The three tech giants will all take part in the main upfronts week in person for the second straight year.

HIGH SCHOOL

Ki’ele Ho-Ching, Long Beach Poly Softball

Long Beach Poly star junior Ki’ele Ho-Ching had a big game in the CIF-SS championship for the Jackrabbits. The Oklahoma commit went 2/3 with 3 RBIs, two runs, and inside the park homerun, and an intentional walk.

Jillene Wetteland, Long Beach Poly Track and Field

Long Beach Poly senior Jill Wetteland claimed the state championship in the high jump with a clearance of 5-7. The Harvard signee ends her decorated prep career with an individual state championship.

Wyland Obando, Wilson Track and Field

It was a busy day for the junior sensation Wyland Obando. He ran the 800, the 4×800, and the 4×400 at the CIF State meet, claiming an individual state title in the 800 with a 1:51.24 that saw him storm back from fifth to first in the final 100m.

Teams across the NFL are well underway with their OTA training programs. The Patriots have dealt with some offseason controversies over the last few weeks, but for the most part, attendance and health hasn’t been an issue.

Cook remains away from the team and training on his own as he seeks a top-dollar extension from Buffalo.

“Yeah, we’re staying in touch, like you’d expect a player and a coach to do,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said (via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN). “So, James will be here when he’s ready to be here and we move forward.”

There’s no doubt that the 25-year-old will command a handsome salary when his rookie deal is up at the end of the season, but his demands seem to be top-five running back numbers.

In a recent Instagram live video, he pinned the words “15 mill [per] year,” which, presumably, means that’s the money he’s looking to get in his next contract. If Cook were to sign an extension that would earn him a $15 million annual average value (AAV), he would be tied with Derrick Henry as the third-highest paid running back in the league.

The current top-five highest paid running backs in AAV (per OverTheCap.com):

  1. Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million)
  2. Christian McCaffrey ($19 million)
  3. Derrick Henry ($15 million)
  4. Jonathan Taylor ($14 million)
  5. Alvin Kamara ($12.25 million)

Aside from Ashton Jeanty, who was obviously just drafted, Cook is younger than all the backs mentioned above. He was tied with Derrick Henry and Jahmyr Gibbs for the most touchdowns among all running backs with 16 last year, so he has a solid case for a top-five deal.

However, he only registered 1,009 yards, which is at least 400 fewer than any of the guys mentioned above – again not including Jeanty and Christian McCaffrey, who was injured for most of 2024, so his 2023 statistics give an accurate depiction.

Now granted, Gibbs had only 207 carries in 2024 – Barkley, Henry, and Taylor all exceeded 300 – but that could contribute to the Bills’ hesitation.

Bosa “pulled a calf,” said McDermott, he “more than likely” will not train for the remainder of the OTAs but is expected to be ready for training camp. The injury this early in the offseason could be worrisome for their near-30 free-agent signing, who has dealt with various injuries over the last few seasons.

“Listen, it is concerning,” McDermott said, via ESPN. “Durability, availability are key ties to our roster. And so, we basically look ahead in terms of what he’s doing now, which is getting himself the treatment that he needs and he’s working hard at it, and that’s all that he can control right now, and we get him back when we get him back, probably at this point [for] training camp. So, we’re going to do the best job we can, and I know he is as well, and just take it one day at a time.”

Obviously it’s very early, but the Cooks situation in particular is something for Patriots fans to keep an eye on. If the dispute persists into training camp and further it could signal some turmoil within a division rival.

Thompson alum Bradley Franklin qualifies for NCAA track and field national championship with Samford

Published 2:43 pm Monday, June 2, 2025

By ANDREW SIMONSON | Sports Editor

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Bradley Franklin has wasted little time carrying over his high school success to the collegiate stage as he will compete for a national championship as just a true freshman.

Franklin punched his ticket to the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championship for outdoor track and field with one of the top times in the men’s 110-meter hurdles on Saturday, May 31 at the East Regional at the University of North Florida.

Competing for the Samford Bulldogs, Franklin qualified for nationals with a time of 13.46 seconds in the event, which was good enough for fifth place in the regional field. He was the only member of the Bulldogs to reach nationals.

Franklin’s regional performance is just one of many standout times from his freshman season. He broke the SoCon record for the 110-meter hurdles at the SoCon Championship on May 13 at the Samford Track and Soccer Stadium, securing the conference championship in the process.

His individual title helped Samford secure its fifth-straight conference title in men’s outdoor track and field.

Franklin was named the 2023-24 Shelby County Male Athlete of the Year after placing sixth in the indoor men’s 60-meter hurdles at the 2023 New Balance Nationals and third in the men’s 110-meter hurdles at the outdoor New Balance Nationals in 2024.

He also finished undefeated in his senior indoor season in the hurdles. Franklin finished 7-0 in the 60-meter hurdles, including the Class 7A state championship with a personal-record time of 7.62 seconds. He would beat that time at nationals to record a 7.61-second time.

Franklin then won eight of his nine starts in the 110-meter hurdles and set a new state championship meet record with a time of 13.37 seconds to win his second-straight title in the event. His then personal-record time beat out Hoover alum Marlon Humphrey for the state record.

Franklin also won the 300-meter hurdle state championship after going 5-0 in the event and finished in fifth place in the 100-meter dash state finals in 2024.

Franklin will compete in the 110-meter hurdle national championship at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. The semifinals will be Wednesday, June 11 at 7:08 p.m. central time on ESPN and the finals will be Friday, June 13 at 7:42 p.m. on ESPN2. Both will also be streamed on ESPN+.

In other county news, Pelham native Erin Long competed in regionals for Samford but missed out on qualifying for her second-career nationals. She finished in 18th place with a throw of 47.97 after winning the SoCon Championship in the event earlier in the month.

ROCK SPRINGS — Rock Springs High School has announced the hiring of Casey Rood as the new head coach of the Lady Tigers volleyball program, set to lead the team into the 2025 season and beyond.

Rood, a former multi-sport standout and collegiate volleyball player, brings an impressive athletic and coaching résumé to the program. She returns to Rock Springs with prior experience on the Tigers’ sideline, having served as an assistant coach during a three-year stretch in which the team won a conference title and made three state tournament appearances.

Most recently, Rood worked as an assistant coach at Green River High School, helping guide the Wolves to a second-place finish in conference play and a state tournament berth.

As a high school athlete, Rood helped lead her volleyball team to a state championship and two district titles while earning Idaho State Journal All-State First Team honors. In track and field, she played a major role in capturing a state title and four district championships, and still holds four school relay records.

At the collegiate level, Rood’s success continued. She contributed to two Region 9 championships and two NJCAA Final Four appearances, later going on to record the third-most blocks in a single season at Montana State University Billings.

Rock Springs High School praised Rood for bringing “a wealth of experience and a winning culture” to the program. In addition to her on-court accomplishments, she is known for building strong, disciplined teams and creating a positive environment focused on athlete growth both in and out of competition.

Rood’s coaching philosophy emphasizes leadership, accountability, and resilience. She draws on lessons from both long-time mentors and local coaching colleagues, aiming to prepare athletes for success beyond high school.

The volleyball program’s summer activities are already in motion. Rood encourages student-athletes to attend summer weight training beginning Monday, June 9 during the girls’ session from 6:30 to 8:00 a.m.

The first open gym session will take place Tuesday, June 17 from 8:15 to 10:00 a.m. in the lower gym at Rock Springs High School. Athletes and parents are invited to attend and meet Coach Rood. Open gyms will continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer at the same time.

Rock Springs High School staff and community members have welcomed Rood’s return to the program with enthusiasm as she takes the helm of Lady Tiger volleyball.

For additional information about the program or summer activities, families are encouraged to attend the first open gym.
