Deadspin | After DWI arrest, Aviators coach Ted Ginn Jr. sidelined for loss to Renegades Columbus Aviators head coach Ted Ginn reacts in the second half of the Columbus Aviators’ inaugural home game at Historic Crew Stadium on Friday, April 3, 2026 in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus Aviators head coach Ted Ginn Jr. did not coach his team’s UFL game against the Dallas Renegades on Sunday after he was arrested and subsequently released from jail on Saturday in Texas on a charge of driving while intoxicated. The Renegades improved to 3-0 with a 28-23 victory over the Aviators (0-3) in Frisco, Texas. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who served as the Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach from 2009-11, stepped up in Ginn’s stead. Ginn, a former second-team All-American at Ohio State who was hired as head coach for the Aviators’ inaugural season in December, was booked into Tarrant County’s jail at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time and released on bond at 8 p.m. Ginn turned 41 on Sunday. “I want to address the situation that took place over the weekend. I made a serious mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I’ve always believed in accountability and now it’s my turn to live that standard,” Ginn said in a post on his X account. “I understand the responsibility that comes with being a leader & role model, and falling short of this is not something I take lightly. I’m committed to learning from this, making better decisions, and earning back the trust of my players, our organization, and the fans. “I appreciate the support of my family and the United Football League, and I respect the process as it moves forward. My focus now is on taking the necessary steps to grow from this and represent the Columbus Aviators and this community the right way.” I want to address the situation that took place over the weekend.I made a serious mistake and take full responsibility for my actions.

The Aviators lost their first two games in franchise history under Ginn, who was a 14-year NFL veteran receiver, amassing 412 receptions for 5,742 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns for the Miami Dolphins (2007-09), San Francisco 49ers (2010-12), Carolina Panthers (2013, 2015-16), Arizona Cardinals (2014), New Orleans Saints (2017-19) and Chicago Bears (2020). He also had seven return scores (four punts, three kickoffs) and rushed for two touchdowns. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #DWI #arrest #Aviators #coach #Ted #Ginn #sidelined #loss #Renegades

For every attempt by India’s Sarvesh Kushare in the men’s high jump final of the Commonwealth Games at Scotstoun Stadium here on Monday, the modest gathering of spectators responded with warm applause and cheers. But when the Indian stepped up for his third and final attempt at 2.28m, expecting a gold medal – after Jamaica’s Romaine Beckford had also failed at the height in his final attempt – a sepulchral silence descended over the stadium. It was evident that the crowd wanted the 31-year-old Indian to win.

However, it wasn’t to be. Kushare had to settle for the silver medal on countback as Beckford had cleared 2.25m on his first attempt, while the Indian national record holder managed the same height only on his third.

“I am happy to win a medal in my second Commonwealth Games. The cold weather affected my warm-up and warm-down routine. I was a bit confused, but it was a good learning experience and a lot of fun. My competitor Tejaswin Shankar was also advising and encouraging me. I won’t relax now and will focus on the Asian Games,” said Kushare.

However, it turned out to be a disappointing and emotional day for Tejaswin, the bronze medallist at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Initially, there was confusion when the official Commonwealth Games website displayed a DNS (Did Not Start) against his name. When queried, officials said it was a “technical glitch”. A few minutes later, spectators saw Tejaswin on the stadium’s giant screen waving to the crowd.

But the 27-year-old failed in his opening attempt at 2.05m before retiring from the competition.

Speaking to mediapersons later, Tejaswin said he withdrew because of severe pain caused by tendonitis in his knee.

“I think I’ve always had tendonitis in my knee. There isn’t a high jumper in the world who hasn’t suffered tendonitis. It was just one of those days. I was confident of doing well and winning a medal. In fact, I was feeling good and was in great shape during my warm-up,” he said while trying to control his tears.

Tejaswin said he would now focus on recovering in time for his next event, the men’s decathlon on July 31.

“I’ll try to fix this injury. I’m not on vacation. There are two days before my next event, and I’ll get started on my recovery,” he said.

Meanwhile, Tejas Shirse finished eighth and last in the men’s 110m hurdles final with a timing of 15.39 seconds and was seen limping towards the end of the race.

“I felt pain in my left ankle during the warm-up before the race. I apologise to the nation for my performance,” Shirse said.
