Avery Johnson had an opening game to forget, with his Kansas State losing to Iowa State in Saturday’s 2025 college football curtain raiser.

The game kicked off after the White House marked the return of NCAA football with a hype video and was held in Dublin, Ireland, with Iowa State leaving with a 24-21 win.

While Johnson impressed in the loss, throwing for 273 yards and two touchdowns, running one in himself, no one is discussing his performance.

Running back Dylan Edwards’ costly muffed punt may have dominated the headlines if not for the fact that the QB’s father and his brother got into a fight 0utside the Aviva Stadium after the game.

Avery Johnson Advised To “Disown” His Family

247Sports’ Tim Fitzgerald initially reported the altercation, but a video has since surfaced on Twitter/X, which can be seen below:

 

“Nah man I’d disown my family after that and NEITHER are coming back to another game,” one fan claimed.

“Guinness is a hell of a drug,” another joked.

A source told Fitzgerald that no arrests were made.

That’s definitely not the way Avery Johnson expected to start the season.

As if losing wasn’t bad enough, he now has to deal with the aftermath of his family members scuffling in the Dublin streets.

Fortunately, it doesn’t appear that any of them were hurt.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
