House committee accepts Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder's offer to testify but only under subpoena​


The House Committee on Oversight and Reform accepted Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder's offer to testify via video conference on July 28, but said he could not do it voluntarily as his attorney had requested. In a letter Tuesday from Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-New York) to Snyder's attorney, Karen Patton Seymour, the committee said it would accept his testimony only under a subpoena. The committee reissued a subpoena for Snyder and gave his attorney a noon deadline on Wednesday to accept. The committee had first issued a subpoena on June 24 for a deposition six days later, but that subpoena was not accepted. Maloney wrote that the committee wants Snyder to testify under a subpoena to ensure that his "testimony will be full and complete and will not be restricted in the way it would be if the deposition were conducted voluntarily."

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay pays $6M for Muhammad Ali WBC championship belt at auction​


Colts owner Jim Irsay made a major late-night acquisition at a hefty price tag. Irsay's latest move wasn't football-related. Instead, it is the newest addition to his growing historic collection: Muhammad Ali's WBC championship belt won in the fighter's 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" victory over George Foreman in Zaire. Irsay acquired the item for $6 million at auction after a bidding process that lasted until nearly 4 a.m. Sunday morning. It is considered one of the most treasured examples of boxing memorabilia in existence. The belt sold in 2016 for $358,500 and then sold in 2017 for $120,000. According to Heritage Auctions, the belt is one of just two known Ali WBC belts; the other is held in a private museum collection and unlikely to be sold, according to the company.
