Johnson and spokesmen for several other nonprofts that received donations from Jordan said they were told not to disclose the size of the donation. Jordan once again slipped out a back door of the Berto Center and in his burgundy Corvette zoomed by the mass of television crews and photographers gathered in the parking lot, leaving several. Sarahjane Johnson, director of resource development at Casa Central, said Jordan's gift will help fund education programs for kids at Casa Central and the donation is "especially helpful" as it comes at a time when state funding is tied up in the budget impasse in Springfield.

On a warm July day, John Anderson is walking down the block where the shelter, the Auburn Family Residence, stands watch. 'I'm back.' Jordan announced his return to basketball after a nearly two-year retirement including a stint with the Chicago White Sox minor league system.

The Golf Club was just four years old in 1995, a state-of-the-art, celebrity-friendly Tom Fazio-designed course on 317 acres only 30 minutes west of Greer Stadium, home of the Nashville Sounds in Tennessee, the Triple-A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. If Jordan played basketball today, he would have been able to send a message to the masses via social media. " This does not pass the smell test, and can and should be admissible as evidence of Cook's consciousness of guilt," Cragg's filing said. In a two-word fax, 'I'm back,' Michael Jordan announces his return to the Bulls as reported in the March 19, 1995, edition of the Chicago Tribune. Michael Jordan crafted the famous fax himself. Former Minnesota Vikings star running back Dalvin Cook offered $1 million to a former girlfriend to absolve him of wrongdoing even though she had previously sworn to abuse allegations against him, according to a document filed in Dakota County District Court.Īccording to a court filing obtained by The Star Tribune, Cook offered sums of both $800k and $1 million to his ex-girlfriend, Gracelyn Trimble, to bar testimony at his trial and have her send a letter to the NFL absolving Cook of any wrongdoing.Īttorney Daniel Cragg wrote that Cook's initial cash offer was "not only evidence of a crime," but was admissible at trial to show that he tried to persuade Trimble to commit perjury by changing his sworn testimony.
