Former Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott signs with playoff contender

Last week, the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with running back Ezekiel Elliott. The former Ohio State star requested his release so he could pursue an opportunity with a playoff contender as his years in the league are growing shorter. It didn’t take long for Elliott to find a new home.

The former Buckeye will be heading to the West Coast to join the L.A. Chargers. Los Angeles is currently prepping for a Wild Card game with the Houston Texans. Zeke may be past his prime in being a productive runner in the NFL, but his veteran leadership, short-yardage prowess, and excellent pass-blocking ability make him a valuable asset for the Chargers.

Elliott will be joining former teammate Joey Bosa in L.A. Bosa was the No. 3 pick by the Chargers in 2016 followed by Elliott as the No. 4 player drafted. He will also join fellow Buckeye running back J.K. Dobbins who has had a resurgence with Los Angeles after an injury-filled time in Baltimore.

It remains to be seen if Zeke will be able to have an impact on such short notice but he’s always been a guy willing to do the dirty work. That alone may get him some reps.

The Chargers take on the Texans in Houston on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Ohio voters literally can’t believe our eyes. Danger of AI ads not overblown | Letters

Ohio voters literally can’t believe our eyes. Danger of AI ads not overblown | Letters

Letters to the Editor

We can’t believe our eyes

Re “AI political ads bring fears over ’26 election,” May 27: I fully support House Bill 185. It probably doesn’t go far enough. This is a prime example of “don’t believe everything you see on the Internet.”

I am being inundated with emails and text messages from organizations and people I do not know. I block them as spam, but it doesn’t seem to do any good. About the only way to combat this is to attend a live debate between candidates, but most people do not have the time to do that.

I use AI every day with caution. We need better ways of identifying AI-created falsehoods.

Edwin Heller, Dublin

Tell voters what’s real

Re “AI political ads bring fears over ’26 election,” May 27: I don’t think AI should be used in political ads, but there is no way to stop it.What we can and should do is require campaigns to certify that their ad did or did not use AI to generate or edit content that:

Makes a real person appear to say or do something they didn’t say or do.
Alters footage of a real event or place.
Generates a realistic-looking scene that didn’t actually occur.

We grade movie content. Why not political advertising? The public needs a way to help distinguish truth from fiction.

Richard Wires, Columbus

Ban political ads, already

Re “AI political ads bring fears over ’26 election,” May 27: Political ads should be banned. Those using – AI-generated or not. I don’t trust anything I read online anymore, and especially political ads.

People read/see those ads, don’t research the information in them, and vote according to, oftentimes, the misinformation in those ads. The huge amounts of money being spent on ads is sinful!

Food cuts hurt hungry families

While President Donald Trump and Republicans continually find new ways to enrich their billionaire funders and friends, they’ve made the largest cuts to SNAP in history, making it more difficult for over 40 million Americans, including 16 million children and 8 million seniors, to access healthy foods and forcing them to rely on the cheapest foods (usually the most ultra-processed}.

They’re especially hurting American children and setting them up for worse health outcomes than previous generations by making it harder for them to access healthy foods.

They’ve cut funding to support farm-to-school programs and food banks, passed the largest cut to food assistance in history, and are pushing to end the decades-old practice of putting fluoride in water to reduce tooth decay. Most appalling, they’ve even allowed food companies to use cancer-causing chemicals in snack foods targeted to children.

Meanwhile, they’ve allowed food companies to take advantage of inflation to raise prices to increase their profits. A Kroger executive suggested that inflation is good for business when he testified the chain has hiked the milk and eggs prices beyond the costs from inflation.

This is one more reason that we must do all we can to get Republicans out of office.
