Matthew Sluka was born in Locust Valley, New York to Robert and Lorraine Sluka.
He grew up playing football, lacrosse, and basketball, but it seems that football stole his heart.
He is extremely talented and has a high caliber of gameplay, which is sure to win him a successful career.
He graduated from Kellenberg Memorial High School in New York while bagging a lot of accomplishments, earning “All-New York state, All-Long Island and All-Metro honors”.
Also, his young age could not stop him from being named the most valuable player of the CHSFL championship game in both 2017 and 2018.
Fresh out of high school, Sluka, probably an 18-year-old, then headed to Peddie School in Highstown, New Jersey, to play for head coach Chris Malleo for one postgraduate season in 2019.
He led Peddie to a perfect 8-0, winning the Mid-Atlantic Prep League title.
This just solidified his place as a Champion.
In 2020, he started his new journey in Holy Cross Crusaders Football Team in the collegiate American football program of the College of Holy Cross.
Even as a freshman, he showed remarkable prowess, was named Patriot League Rookie of the Year, and became a finalist for the Jerry Rice Awards.
Sophomore year at college was a busy one for Sluka. He started all 13 games at quarterback, became the Three-time Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week (9/6, 9/20, 11/15), and was named to the All-Patriot League second team.
Nearing 20, Sluka went on to earn the New England Football Writers’ Association Gold Helmet Award.
It seems like he had a blast in his second year of college!

He continued to start all 13 games at Quarterback, won the Gold Helmet Award in Weeks 1 & 2(9/4, 9/11), and maintained his streak as the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week (10/31).
He also became the finalist for the Walter Payton Award.
Starting off his senior year strong, 2023 was a golden year.
Sluka, now polished as a player, didn’t leave any stone unturned.
He showed efforts, dedication, and discipline that is rarely seen for young people of his age.
The team captain, who earned the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year, Bulger-Lowe Award,FCS Football Central All-America (first team), Stats Perform All-America (second team), Associated Press All-America (third team), Phil Steele All-America (third team), and named the MVP, he is a source of inspiration for football players, whether they be in high school or college.
It seemed like there was no stopping him, and he climbed without a break.
By the time of his graduation, he ranked first in program history in career pass efficiency.
Curious about this over-achiever’s age? well…his exact birthdate remains veiled.
However, judging from the available information and tallying up the ages, we can assume that in 2023, he would have been about 22 or 23 years old.
Matthew Sluka played for the Holy Cross Crusaders for 4 seasons, from 2020-2024.
He then joined the UNLV rebels for the 2024-2025 season but is now in talks for his decision to leave the team.
Matthew Sluka’s agent at Marcus at Equity Sports said that Sluks agreed to join UNLV Rebels because he had been verbally promised $100,000 for the transfer, which is why Sluka agreed to join.
Facing a NIL dispute, contrary to their promise, Sluka did not receive the said amount and has now decided to utilize his “Red Shirt Year” and will not be playing in any additional games this season.

]]>Key Takeaways
- Yandy Smith’s pregnancy with their first child, Omere Harris, was featured on season 3 of the show.
- Her second pregnancy with their daughter, Skylar Smith Harris, was also featured on the show, in the 5th season.
- There are rumours going on about a third pregnancy, however, no announcements have been made from any of the involved parties.
Yandy Smith-Harris is a well-known reality TV star, entrepreneur, producer, and activist.
She rose to fame through her appearance on the reality TV show” Love & HipHop: New York,” which is a show where they showcase the everyday lives of women working in the male-dominated world of Hip-Hop.
She is married to her longtime partner Mendeecee Harris, and both of them work in the music industry.
Yandy Smith was pregnant with their first child, Omere Harris, while they were airing the 3rd season of the show.
Yandy and Meceendee were nervous and excited to welcome their first child together, Omere Harris, who was born on July 16, 2012.
A few years later, she became pregnant for the second time, with their daughter, Skylar Smith Harris, which also got to be featured for 5th season of the show.
Yandy also officially signed to change her name from “Yandy Smith” to “Yandy Smith-Harris” during her baby shower.
They have a total of five children, Omere Harris, Skylar Smith-Harris, Infinity Gilyard, Mendeecee Jr., and Aasim Harris.
However, Yandy has only been pregnant two times, i.e., with Omere and Skylar.
Infinity Gilyard was fostered, while Mendeecee Jr. and Aasim Harris are children from Mendeecee’s previous relationship.
Mendeecee got Samantha Wallace pregnant from a previous relationship, which gave birth to Mendeecee Jr. on October 11, 2005.
After his relationship with Samantha ended, Mendeecee got into a relationship with Erika.
From this, Mendeecee fathered Aasim Harris, born on September 7, 2011.
Although they are not Yandy’s children, Yandy seems to treat them like they’re her own.
Their family of seven seem to get along very well, sharing fun and goofy moments with each other.
They’ve had their fair share of thick and thins, with the case going on, emotional turbulence, and mentally draining situations that have tested their love for each other many times, and Yandy and Mendeecee have gone through it, holding each other’s hand.
Though they share such great love for each other, they make sure to focus and include their children in all occasions whether it be big or small.
Seeing such a happy family, one is likely to assume that there will be more additions to the family; however, there have been no official announcements of pregnancy for their third child.
Recently, Mendeecee has been facing allegations about him cheating on Yandy, which has stirred up another turbulence in their relationship.
From what we know, in response to those allegations, on April 25, Mendeecee posted an Instagram story where he added, “I don’t even play on the internet however leave me alone! First and last time”, as a clear warning for people to stop.
At the same time, Yandy also posted a video of her evening at some event, probably signaling that she and her husband are going strong and that there is no backing out on their commitment to each other.
This seems to tell us that they are not bothered by the allegations and that the claims are likely to be false.
They have been quite open about their private lives, so we can be sure that they aren’t going to shy away from announcing good news, especially Yandy’s pregnancy news.
Looking at Yandy’s recent social media activities, it seems unlikely that she will be pregnant.
There is no way she could be in the early stages of pregnancy or not pregnant at all; only time and their announcements can tell!
In Case You Didn’t Know
- Yandy’s full name is Yandielle Unique Smith, born on March 19, 1982, in Harlem, New York, USA.
- She graduated from Howard University, where she earned her degree in business.
- Before she became a reality star, she built a reputation as a skilled talent manager and entrepreneur.

Thank you, football.
— Raphaël Varane (@raphaelvarane) September 25, 2024pic.twitter.com/zTC5ebqclB
Varane started his journey in 2011 at Real Madrid, where he spent nearly a decade of his professional career.
During this period, his salary increased progressively, approximating over €12 million per year towards the end of his contract.
In August 2021, Varane joined Manchester United for around €40 million.
As one of the highest earners at Manchester United, with a staggering weekly wage of £340,000, which translates to about £17.6 million.
Varane earned a substantial amount from his successful career as a footballer at clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester United, as well as from his endorsement deals with major brands like Nike and Adidas.
While exact figures of Varane’s net worth are not publicly available, we can make an estimate based on his career earnings, and endorsements.
Due to his dealings with Manchester United, Raphael Varane’s net worth is estimated to be between$50 million and $60 million.
Additionally, his yearly income during that period would be in the range of $16 million to $20 million.
He briefly retired from international competitions in 2022; however, he continued his club career until a recent knee injury in 2024.
Raphel Varanewas briefly signed as a playing member by “Como 1907″ on a two-year deal with an option to extend with a deal of around £34 million, which is over $45 million.
“We are excited to have Raphael in our family. His experience will greatly complement our ambitions to grow on and off the field.”

However, he got injured on his very first game in the Serie A, making him unable to play any further, ultimately resulting in his retirement.
With his retirement and his estimated net worth up till now, we can say that the figures will most probably be in the range of $70 to $80 million.
All this most likely is the direct translation of his rising fame and his efforts to be a better player, better defender, better team-mate, and a better provider for his family all while enjoying the game he so dearly loves.
He has made a name for himself in the Football world as well as the entrepreneurial world through his endorsement deals.
However, we can only estimate the probable monetary worth as most players often don’t disclose their actual financial net worth.

Marcus Thornton’s brother, Adolpd Thornton Jr., also known as Young Dolph, was born on July 27th, 1985, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
He was active as a rapper and songwriter from 2008 until he passed away in 2021.
The then 36-year-old rapper was shot and killed on November 17, 2021, inside a local cookie shop; Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookie Bakery on Airway Boulevard, while he was visiting the area for Thanksgiving.
The shooting case faced trial on Monday, September 23, 2024.
Four primary suspects are involved in the case: Justin Johnson, Cornelius Smith, Hernandez Govan, and Jermarcus Johnson.
Justin Johnson, also known as “Straight Drop,” is one of the accused gunmen who shot Young Dolph.
He was associated with the other two suspects through a network of criminal, illegal d*ug dealings and possible gang affiliations.
Cornelius Smith is believed to be the other accused gunman.
Smith has been implicated through fingerprint evidence found on the stolen Mercedes-Benz, which seems to be the vehicle involved in the incident, as seen in the footage.
Hernandez Govan is believed to have solicited the whole mu*der, possibly due to past disputes between him and Marcus Thornton’s brother, Young Dolph.
He was arrested over the weekend in Southaven, Mississippi.
Jermarcus Johnson, Justice Johnson’s half-brother has pleaded guilty to three counts of accessory charges and has been sentenced to 12 years in jail.
He played a role in helping the suspects evade law enforcement after Marcus Thronton’s brother’s mu*der case.
Justin Johnson was finally arrested in January 2022 after a nationwide manhunt.
— No Jumper (@nojumper) September 25, 2024Cornelius Smith said he was shot by Marcus Thornton, the brother of Young Dolph, who was at the cookie shop and needed to have a "wound kit" to clean up his injuries.
Smith said he was shot in the shoulder, and a bullet grazed Johnson on his back
The hearing for Marcus Thornton’s Brother’s case has finally started after being pushed back many times.
The Trial
On Day 1 of the Trial opening statements were made and the court was informed that the suspects, Cornelius Smith and Hernandez Govan would testify against Justin Johnson.
Justice Johnson and Cornelius Smith both face charges of First-degree murder, illegal possession of firearms, and theft of property.
While Hernandez Govan is charged with first-degree murder, criminal attempted first-degree murder and conspiracy to first-degree murder.
The attorneys of defendant Johnson sought to discredit Smith’s testimony stating that it was Smith’s self-serving attempt to lessen his punishment.
Day 2 of the Trial has seen an unexpected turn of events with Smith’s testimony.
According to Smith, Justin and himself were hired to shoot Young Dolph.
When questioned about his relationship with the other two suspects, the previous assumption turned out to be true.
On further questioning and analysis of the footage, the court came to know about what had happened.
Then the two gunmen shot Young Dolph from outside the store, when Marcus Thornton came running from inside the store, with a handgun and tried to shoot back at the two gunmen, trying to defend his brother and trying to nail down the assailants.
In his testimony, Cornelius Smith also revealed that, in the firing, Young Dolph’s brother, Marcus, shot him in the upper arm and the legs, and Justice Johnson was grazed by the bullet on his back.
Marcus Thornton is a central figure in this trial. His presence at the scene has made him a key eyewitness and is expected to provide his testimony at the court.
It was also revealed that Smith and Johnson were paid $40,000, while Hernandez Govan was paid $20,000 for planning the hit.
According to UPROXX, A new suspect has been brought to light with Smith’s testimony,
“…the contract killing was one of several marks on Dolph’s Paper Route Empire label roster, which he was made aware of after by another Memphis native, Big Jook, who reports noted was the older brother of Dolph’s rap rival, Yo Gotti. Jook himself was shot and killed this January, and theinvestigation is ongoing.”
With the verdict not being given by the court, Marcus Thronton’s brother, YoungDolph’s partner, Mia Jaye, has taken up-to social media to seek justice.
She shares her frustration about the justice system, not being able to finalize the verdict for the perpetrators even when the involved assailants have already given their testimonies.
“I have never followed or understood the intricacies of how the justice system works, until I was impacted by crime and forced to demand justice……”
Via Instagram
She also shares a post showing how reluctant she is to be used as a pawn, and questions if Steve Mulroy really stands for his word or just needed endorsement and votes for the election.
“DID YOU REALLY STAND FOR THESE WORDS OR JUST NEEDED AN ENDORSEMENT & VOTES DURING THE 2022 ELECTION? THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DIDN’T ENDORSE ANY MEMPHIS POLITICIANS OUT OF RELUCTANCE THAT MY VOICE & CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD BE USED AS A PAWN, RATHER THAN BEING HEARD FOR TRUE CHANGE… CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING, BUT CHANGE HASNT TAKEN PLACE… PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING LET OUT ON BOND…SO REMIND THE COMMUNITY WHAT YOUR OFFICE IS DOING TO BRING FORTH CHANGE?!”
Via Instagram
RESPECTFULLY,
Mia
Mia Jaye, Young Dolph’s children, the Thornton family, must be going through a very hard time, especially Marcus Thornton, who saw his brother being shot in front of his own eyes.

Charlie Blackmon, the beloved Colorado Rockies outfielder and designated hitter, has left an indelible mark on Major League Baseball (MLB) history.
Born on July 1, 1986, in Dallas, Texas, Blackmon’s journey in the big leagues began on June 11, 2011, when he made his debut for the Rockies.
After an illustrious 14-year career, all spent with the Colorado franchise, Blackmon announced his retirement on September 23, 2024, bringing an end to an era that saw him become a cornerstone of the team.
Throughout his career, Blackmon’s on-field success translated into significant financial gains.
His journey began with a $563,000 signing bonus in 2008, setting the stage for a lucrative career.
In his early years, Blackmon earned relatively modest salaries, ranging from $414,000 to $517,500 during his pre-arbitration period.
However, as his skills developed and his value to the team grew, so did his earnings.
The turning point in Blackmon’s financial trajectory came during his arbitration years.
In 2016, he secured a contract worth $3.5 million, followed by $7.3 million in 2017 and a substantial $14 million in 2018.
These figures reflected his growing importance to the Rockies and his status as one of the league’s top outfielders.
Blackmon’s most significant payday came in the form of a six-year contract spanning from 2018 to 2023.
Valued at $108 million, with an average annual value of $18 million and a $2 million signing bonus, this deal solidified his financial future and demonstrated the Rockies’ commitment to their star player.
For his final season in 2024, Blackmon signed a one-year extension worth $13 million, bringing his estimated total career earnings to an impressive $139,545,937.
These earnings reflect not just Blackmon’s skill on the field but also his consistency and longevity.
Over his 14-year career, he achieved numerous accolades, including four All-Star selections, two Silver Slugger Awards, and the 2017 National League batting title.
Each of these achievements likely played a role in boosting his earning potential and overall net worth.

He was a 4-time All-Star, 2-time Silver Slugger, and won the 2017 National League batting title. pic.twitter.com/j2oKdpUXi3
While exact figures of Blackmon’s net worth are not publicly available, we can make an estimate based on his career earnings, potential investments, and endorsements.
Considering his total career earnings of nearly $140 million and factoring in taxes, living expenses, potential wise investments, and endorsement deals, it’s reasonable to estimate Charlie Blackmon’s net worth to be in the range of $50 million to $70 million as of 2024.
This estimate takes into account that professional athletes typically retain about 40-50% of their career earnings after taxes and agent fees.
It also considers potential income from endorsements and investments, which can significantly contribute to an athlete’s overall net worth.
However, it’s important to note that this is an estimate, and the actual figure could vary based on Blackmon’s personal financial decisions and investment success.
Known affectionately as “Chuck Nazty” by fans, Blackmon became a beloved figure in Colorado, which likely opened doors for additional earnings through endorsements and local business opportunities.
As Blackmon retires from MLB, he leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond his impressive statistics and financial achievements.
His consistent performance and dedication to a single franchise throughout his career have endeared him to fans and likely set him up for a comfortable retirement.
The official announcement of his retirement by MLB on their Twitter account showcases the impact he had on the game and the respect he garnered within the baseball community.
As he moves into the next chapter of his life, this financial cushion reflects his successful career, cementing his place not just in Colorado Rockies history but in the annals of the sport itself.

]]>Key Takeaways
- Nicholas Alexander Chavez (born September 6, 1999) is an American actor who plays the role of Lyle Menendez in the Netflix drama Monsters.
- His parents divorced when he was five, so his dwellings alternated between his mother’s house in Denver and his father’s in Arvada.
- His parents had a crucial role in shaping him into what he is today.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez (born September 6, 1999) is an American actor who portrays the role of Lyle Menendez in the Netflix drama series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story 2024”
The drama depicts a tragic parent-child relationship that has made people wonder who Nicholas Chavez’s actual parents are and how he could portray the character so beautifully.
Nicholas Chavez was born in Houston, Texas.
He lived in Sugarland, Texas, before his family relocated to Denver, Colorado.
However, after his parent’s divorce when he was five, he alternated between his mother’s house in Denver and his father’s in Arvada.
Regardless of the divorce, it seems that his relationship with his parents is great.
Nicholas Chavez refers to his mother as his source of emotional support and talks about her with deep affection.
He attended the East High School in Denver, where he was recruited by his former debate mentor, Matt Murphy to play a role in the school’s production of “To Kill A Mockingbird” when he took over the school’s drama department.
His mother lives in Denver, which might be the reason, why he got involved with the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.
By the end of high school, all these minor coincidences and deflections helped secure his interest in the field of acting and theater.
Nicholas Chavez’s father, Nicholas Chavez Sr., and his side of the family were more athletic.
Most of his family members played football and so did he for a brief period, which helped shape his work ethic and discipline.
A “big football family,” as Nicholas calls it, had a major influence on his outgoing and adventurous nature.
This is probably where he gets his “Workout is essential” attitude.
In an interview with Daily Drama, he recalls how his father became so emotional after seeing his theater performance that he thanked his son’s mentor.
When he saw his father do that, not only was his father shocked, but Nicholas was also.
Nicholas mentions that he was completely new to the acting and theater field, and his family played a major role in his decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting.
However, much information about his parents remains undisclosed, but we do know is that, his parents had a crucial role in shaping him into what he is today.
Contrary to the role, he plays in the drama “Monster“, Nicholas Chavez enjoys a healthy and loving relationship with his parents, far from anything he had to act as Lyle.
His parents are very supportive and cheer him on to live a life inspired by his own ideals and goals, which is evident in his acting roles and his ability to act convincingly enough to make the audience deeply immersed in the plot.
In Case You Didn’t Know
- He is best known for his role as Spencer Cassadine on the soap opera General Hospital.
- He has won the Daytime Emmy Award for “Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series” and The Soap Hub Award for “Favorite Newcomer.”
- He is in a relationship with actress Victoria Abbott.
