The Pat McAfee Show could be coming to Steelers training camp, thanks to Aaron Rodgers
On Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers asked McAfee to come to Latrobe and 'do a little live show at training camp with the Steelers.' Here's how he responded:
'Maybe we should go do a training camp,' McAfee said. 'I don't know if we're allowed — that would have to be approved by the Steelers. I think the Steelers would approve that.'
Tone Digs, a co-host on the show, chimed in and said Steelers Senior Director of Communications Bert Lauten approved it. That led to McAfee all but confirming the event:
'Alright, we will.'
McAfee, a yinzer through and through, has a proven track record of Steel City entertainment — as evident by his successful Big Night AHT in Pittsburgh show.
McAfee has done live shows all over the country — and if Rodgers gets his way, Steelers fans may soon have a front-row seat at training camp.

Oklahoma reviewing potential gambling activity from QB John Mateer
While college sports feature ads for different gambling sites every other commercial, the act of collegiate athletes gambling is still strictly prohibited and often a fast-track ticket to suspensions or worse. The latest saga around gambling activity in the college football world has the spotlight shining squarely on the Oklahoma Sooners and their new transfer quarterback John Mateer, just before the 2025 season is set to begin. Images of John Mateer's Venmo activity bubbled up on X and showed payments that raised some eyebrows about potential gambling activity from the quarterback. In November 2022, multiple payments were made with titles referencing sports betting and a game between UCLA and USC. Pete Thamel of ESPN has reported that Oklahoma is aware of the situation and is currently reviewing any gambling activity from John Mateer, which he has maintained did not occur. John Mateer is entering his first year with the Oklahoma Sooners after spending three years with the Washington State Cougars and brings hope to the fanbase that he can ignite a Sooners offense that struggled at times in 2024. Last season, Mateer threw for 3,139 yards and 29 touchdowns while completing 64.6% of his passes. He also showed off his legs, adding 826 rushing yards and 15 more touchdowns on the ground.

ESPN's Seth Walder predicts Broncos will bench Bo Nix in 2027
The hits keep coming for Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. In an ESPN article detailing future power rankings for NFL teams, the Broncos came in at No. 7, just behind the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. "The Broncos look like they have a solid starting quarterback in Bo Nix and have arguably the NFL's best offensive line and best defense, led by star cornerback Pat Surtain II. What a turnaround for coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton," wrote Ben Solak, who discussed Denver's reasons for hope. The Broncos' area of concern, with valid reason, is their running back situation. "Do the running backs have the ability to provide the physical, rugged presence that is needed in December and January, when the run game becomes a focus," asked Louis Riddick. "The combination of J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey and Audric Estime has to improve on the Broncos' 1.63 yards after first contact per rush (25th in 2024). If this group gets going, Denver can challenge Kansas City for the AFC West title." Denver's strength has been the offensive line. "Denver's offensive line ranked No. 1 in both pass block win rate (73.8%) and run block win rate (74.9%) last season, but it's a bit older than most other lines, ranging in age from guard Quinn Meinerz (27) to tackle Garett Bolles (33)," wrote Aaron Schatz. Despite all the praise, the boldest prediction related to quarterback Bo Nix. "Nix will lose his starting job during the 2027 season, which will be his last as a Bronco," ESPN's Seth Walder wrote. "There's optimism around him now, but there's reason to be skeptical in the long term. As a rookie, his rushing led him to be decent efficiency-wise. But he ranked 28th in completion percentage over expectation (minus-2.4%) and 22nd in yards per dropback (6.16) despite playing behind a top-tier offensive line. The roster around him is great now, but it won't always be." In his first season, Nix threw for more yards and more touchdowns than 2024 NFL MVP Josh Allen, leading the Broncos to their first postseason appearance in nearly a decade. It will remain to be seen how Nix performs in the coming seasons, but with his trajectory, it's hard to imagine Walder being accurate in his assessment. Time will tell, indeed.
