It is Tuesday on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast and there are a variety of stories the crew discussed today. A tragic mass shooting at 345 Park Avenue—a Midtown Manhattan office building housing the NFL and major finance firms—left five dead, including NYPD officer Didarul Islam, and injured others as the shooter, identified as Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura, took his own life.  Authorities found a note suggesting Tamura blamed the NFL for degenerative brain injury (CTE)—though his exact motive remains unclear. 

In brighter news, NFL legend and Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is officially cancer-free following bladder-removal surgery performed to remove a high-grade tumor. Sanders revealed he drafted his will during the ordeal, describing the journey as emotionally intense. Despite ongoing lifestyle adjustments, Sanders is set to return to coaching this fall and hopes his transparency will raise awareness about early cancer detection. On the entertainment beat, rapper and mogul Jeezy celebrated 20 years of his debut album Thug Motivation 101 during his appearance on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. He reflects on performing the album with an orchestra and discussing the legacy of the Snowman—tying it into broader conversations about his entrepreneurial evolution and cultural impact.
