Ron Rivera recalls how unstoppable Cam Newton was on 4th down, Super Bowl stories
The Carolina Panthers have found out the hard way that no number one overall draft pick is a slam dunk. While the jury is still out on Bryce Young, they at least got it right back in 2011 when they took Cam Newton out of Auburn with the first pick in what became an all-time great draft class.
Newton went on to have one of the most-impressive rookie seasons by any quarterback in modern NFL history, then he made three Pro Bowl teams, earned one All-Pro honor and won an MVP award and an NFC Championship. Newton’s greatest claim to fame may have been as the greatest dual-threat quarterback of all time, but he’s since been surpassed by Lamar Jackson by his own admission. However, when it comes to converting short-yardage situations, Newton is still in a class all his own among QBs.
Here’s former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera talking about how great Cam was on fourth down, and how much harder it became without him.

Before he became a coach, Rivera also enjoyed a storied career as a player. While he never made a Pro Bowl team Rivera played linebacker pretty well from 1984-1992 for the Chicago Bears, including being a part of the greatest team of all time in his rookie season.
In addition to being the most dominant defense ever, those Bears came with a host of legendary personalities and larger-than-life characters. Here’s Rivera talking about an epic Super Bowl week hangover from quarterback Jim McMahon.

After getting fired from his job in Carolina, Rivera went on to coach the Washington Commanders for four seasons, but he was fired last year. All together Rivera has a 102-103-2 career record, but he also has won two Coach of the Year awards.

The Cleveland Cavaliers Announce Their Summer League Schedule
If you’re currently going through a bit of Cleveland Cavaliers withdrawal, you won’t have to wait much longer. Sure, you won’t see Donovan Mitchell or Evan Mobley, but some of the younger, intriguing players could be seeing the floor in the NBA’s Las Vegas Summer League 2026.
This summer, the games will begin on Thursday, July 9th, and go through Sunday, July 19th. All 76 games will air across ESPN platforms and Amazon Prime. Each team will play at least five games. The first four will take place between July 9th-16th. Semi-Final games will take place on Saturday, July 18th, airing on Amazon Prime, with the Championship game airing on July 19th on ESPN.
The Cleveland Cavaliers Schedule:
The Cavs will kick off their Summer League schedule on Friday, July 10th at 4:30 PM EST vs the Indiana Pacers. The game will air on ESPN2. Their schedule of games will be listed below.
Friday, July 10, 4:30 PM EST vs the Indiana Pacers at the Cox Pavilion, airing on ESPN 2.
Sunday, July 12, 4:00 PM EST vs the Detroit Pistons at the Thomas & Mack Center, airing on Amazon Prime
Monday, July 13, 8:00 PM EST vs the Miami Heat at the Cox Pavilion, airing on Amazon Prime
Wednesday, July 15, 5:30 PM EST vs the New Orleans Pelicans at the Cox Pavilion, airing on Amazon Prime
The Cavs will find out their 5th opponent after their first four games are completed, and will see if they are to move on to the semi-finals for the final weekend.
The Cavaliers Potential Summer League Roster:
While the roster should be announced in a few days, the Cavaliers have been building organizational depth, starting with drafting Meleek Thomas in the second round of the 2026 NBA Draft. The team reportedly signed Ernest Udeh, Jr. out of Miami (FL) to a two-way contract and has added Texas A&M forward Rashaun Agee, and Florida guard Xavian Lee to Exhibit 10 contracts.
Tyrese Proctor is also a possibility to play for the team, but we know he will be playing with the Australian national team this summer. Expect fellow two-way player Tristan Enaruna to play as well but the Cavs may need to fill their final two-way spot as Riley Minix has been reported to sign with ASVEL in France.
Summer League is a great opportunity for players to get eyes on them and show their potential. This is also how the Cavs have succeeded over the years, finding diamonds in the rough who contribute to the main roster down the road. Let’s see if the Cavaliers find another hidden gem in a few weeks.

Cleveland boy, 13, dead following ATV crash in Erie County
ERIE COUNTY, Ohio (WOIO) – Ohio troopers said a 13-year-old boy died Thursday from injuries stemming from an ATV crash on Sunday afternoon.
The highway patrol has identified the victim as Lamonie Campbell from Cleveland.
The crash, which also hurt a 10-year-old boy, took place around 1:45 p.m. in the eastbound lane of State Route 113 in Milan Township.
The 10-year-old was operating an ATV, with Campbell as the passenger, when the crash happened.
A Toyota, operated by a Berlin Heights man, struck the ATV as it entered State Route 113 from a private drive, troopers said.
According to the highway patrol, the ATV caught fire as a result of the crash, which also sent the Toyota off the roadway before it rolled and struck a pole.
First responders first took the boys to Fisher-Titus Medical Center for treatment.
Troopers said the 13-year-old was later flown by medical helicopter to a Cleveland hospital.
There’s no update at this time on the 10-year-old’s condition.
State Route 113 was closed for approximately one hour and 50 minutes.
The highway patrol will continue to investigate the crash.
