Episode 217: Top Tier Ham

This week on In A Pickle, we start with a major update on Terry Rozier. Last week we talked about the bribery allegations surrounding the former Hornets guard, and now an arbitrator has ruled that Rozier violated his NBA contract with the Miami Heat and must forfeit a significant portion of his $26.6 million salary from the 2025-26 season. While the exact amount remains unknown, the ruling found he breached his contract. Miami was required to continue paying him during the process, but it appears much of that money will be heading right back. We also discuss the changing court restrictions involving Heat and Hornets personnel. Then we revisit Floyd Mayweather's lawsuit drama. Former manager Jona Rechnitz is calling the lawsuit "fraud" and "nonsense," claiming he has text messages, photos, and videos proving Mayweather knew about the jewelry being pawned and where the money went. Rechnitz also addresses the mysterious jet allegations, saying the funds were used to pay off a multi-million-dollar loan attached to the aircraft. His biggest claim? That Mayweather is facing serious financial problems and is lashing out at those closest to him. We also discuss NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell declining to testify before the House Judiciary Committee regarding media rights deals and what that decision could mean. News: * Former NBA player and longtime Bulls broadcaster Stacey King has passed away at age 59 following a reported fall at his home. * A private jet scheduled to transport Yadier Molina and his family crashed in the Dominican Republic after declaring an emergency shortly after takeoff. Both pilots were killed. * Nicole Brown Simpson's sister is calling on the NFL to retire O.J. Simpson's number 32, saying the number remains triggering nearly 32 years after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. * Brandon Aiyuk reportedly has an arrest warrant stemming from a misdemeanor speeding case tied to a video allegedly showing him speeding near Levi's Stadium. This Week's Biggest Pickle: Jonathan Cooper Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper earns this week's honor after a domestic dispute led to his arrest on two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal mischief. According to reports, both Cooper and his longtime girlfriend, Jade Fiegen, were arrested following the incident. The allegations range from grabbing a phone and physical confrontation claims to accusations that Cooper threw Fiegen to the ground multiple times. Cooper has entered a not guilty plea, and both sides now face charges. The case heads to a motions hearing on July 6th, with a jury trial expected later in July. As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on the developments.

Episode 216: Shots Fired

This week on In A Pickle, we dive into the latest gambling scandal involving Terry Rozier after federal prosecutors alleged he accepted a $100,000 bribe to leave a 2023 game early while with the Charlotte Hornets. Rozier has denied the allegations, but the case continues to raise questions about sports betting and game integrity. We also discuss the concerning situation surrounding Max Domi, who is out indefinitely after complications from offseason surgery. Reports indicate Domi struggled to walk following the procedure, leaving fans worried about much more than just hockey.
