McCoy being sued by ex-girlfriend — LeSean McCoy’s ex-girlfriend is suing the Buffalo Bills running back for failing to protect her after she was bloodied, beaten and had $133,000 worth of jewelry stolen during a home invasion last month. Delicia Cordon also alleges in a lawsuit filed in Fulton County, Georgia, on Friday that McCoy would “often brutally beat his dog,” and would also “aggressively, physically discipline and beat his young son.” Without blaming McCoy for playing a role in the home invasion, Cordon accuses him of breaching his duty to protect her because he owned the home. She also says McCoy “permitted a hazardous condition to exist” by installing a new security system and cameras and denying her access to arm the system. Details of the lawsuit were first reported by WKBW-TV in Buffalo. Cordon’s face was bloodied during a home invasion in the early hours of July 10. Police in Milton, Georgia, are still investigating and have not identified a suspect.

WNBA star Whalen to retire at end of season — When Lindsay Whalen retires from the WNBA at the end of this season, the gritty Minnesota Lynx point guard will not have trouble figuring out what to do next. She has already started the next stage, after all, as the head coach at her alma mater. Even before she was hired in the spring to take over the program she initially elevated at Minnesota, Whalen was already considering ending her playing career following a fourth championship with the Lynx. She agreed to return for one more year with her friends on the league’s longest-lasting dynasty, one more summer of inspiring all those basketball-loving girls around the state and beyond. “There were different times this offseason when I kind of felt like, ‘What can I give? How much more can I give?’” Whalen said, adding: “Coach reminded me of all the amazing times you have with your teammates.”
