Lyerla, a tight end who was picked up by the Green Bay Packers after he wasn’t drafted in 2014 but cut that summer after a knee injury, was serving a six-month sentence for drug possession.

    LaVar Ball explains why Lonzo's new shoe costs $495 and says Nike and Under Armour are free to battle below him

    The Ball family created yet another firestorm on Thursday when they unveiled Lonzo Ball's first signature shoe under the family brand, the ZO2, with a price tag of $495. Last week, it was reported that Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas were spurning the younger Ball as a potential athlete endorser because his father, LaVar, rejected a traditional endorsement deal and demanded the family's Big Baller Brand cobrand with one of the athletic-shoe giants. On Friday, LaVar was asked on "The Dan Le Batard Show" why he decided to charge $495 for the shoes.
