Longtime 22News Anchor Rich Tettemer retires after 37 years

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – After 37 years at 22News, our longtime 22News Anchor Rich Tettemer is retiring. Rich's career in broadcasting began back in January 1984 as a videotape editor at WFLA in Tampa, Florida. He then went on to become a Weekend Sports Anchor at KODE-TV in Joplin, Missouri. 22News' Rich Tettemer awarded Garry Brown Excellence Award night before retirement Rich joined the 22News team on April 18, 1988, which was Patriots Day with both the Boston Marathon and the Red Sox morning game, and handled the busy day smoothly. He stood with us through the glory years, covering all the unforgettable Patriots Super Bowl victories. In locker rooms, on parade routes, and in the hearts of fans, Rich captured the emotion behind every win. From Salt Lake City to Torino, he showed us the world stage at the Olympics. In 2004, an event would be what Rich calls the pinnacle of his sports career. After 86 long years, the Red Sox finally broke the curse, and Rich was right there, bringing the magic home to fans who had waited a lifetime. He was then moved to anchor the morning newscast on October 16, 2006, after 18 and a half years on the sports desk. He has been the morning news Anchor for another 18 and a half years. Year after year, through rain or shine, Rich was front and center at the Holyoke St. Patrick's Parade, hosting, celebrating, and bringing our communities together. He helped shape important conversations, moderating debates, holding candidates accountable, and always putting facts first. When the world stood still during the COVID-19 pandemic, Rich stood tall, guiding us with steady hands and trusted words when we needed them most. During his career at 22News, he was voted by the readers of the Springfield Advocate and the Valley Advocate as Best Sportscaster. Rich has also garnered 13 Associated Press awards from 1994 through 2006. Additionally, he has served as co-host of the Children's Miracle Network Telethon since 1989. He was also just awarded the Garry Brown Excellence Award. Rich will be replaced by current 22News Reporter Julia O'Keefe. Starting on Monday, Julia and 22News's Kaelee Collins will be the new morning anchor team. From all of us at 22News and around western Massachusetts, thank you, Rich Tettemer. WWLP-22News, an NBC affiliate, began broadcasting in March 1953 to provide local news, network, syndicated, and local programming to western Massachusetts.

Insider reveals Steelers, Aaron Rodgers' salary ceiling: 'Money was never the issue'

Insider reveals Steelers, Aaron Rodgers' salary ceiling: 'Money was never the issue' Aaron Rodgers is heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers — but contract details still remain a blur. It has been confirmed that, pending a physical, the four-time MVP will sign a one-year contract with the Steelers — and insider Gerry Dulac hinted at what the maximum amount could be. Responding to rumors that the Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh delay occurred due to financial disagreements, Dulac explained what really took place — and what Rodgers would play for in 2025: "Money was NEVER the issue in deal with Aaron Rodgers. It was always a one-year offer for less than $20 million." Previously on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers also set the record straight that he didn't care about the money — claiming he'd play for "$10m." The last time Rodgers made anywhere near $10 million to $20 million annually was during the first two contract extensions he signed with the Packers back in the 2010s.

Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown claims Aaron Rodgers tried recruiting him back to Pittsburgh

Ex-Steelers WR Antonio Brown claims Aaron Rodgers tried recruiting him back to Pittsburgh The Aaron Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh news set the NFL world ablaze — but former Steelers WR Antonio Brown revealed he tried to bring him along for the ride. According to MLFootball, Brown reached out and reported that Rodgers had tried recruiting him to Pittsburgh in February — seemingly confirming that the four-time MVP had plans all along to sign with the Steelers. MLFootball is hardly Adam Schefter, but Brown didn't dispute the report — in fact, he retweeted the claim, as seen below: Brown is actually just three years older than 33-year-old WR Robert Woods, who was signed by the Steelers last month. Still, his attitude and off-the-field antics led the Steelers to part ways for a reason. Back in March, Brown attempted to confirm the Rodgers-to-Pittsburgh signing early — but not many took the wideout seriously. Could Rodgers have genuinely tried to recruit Brown back to Pittsburgh, or is this simply AB being AB on social media?
