Pitt Football Defense Preview 2025: The Panther Pass Rush Will Dominate
It's the Pitt defense. You know how this pass rush will be otherworldly, with the plays behind the line coming from everywhere. Pitt was sixth in the nation in sacks and fourth in tackles for loss.

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth's reaction to Aaron Rodgers signing revealed
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth's reaction to Aaron Rodgers signing revealed Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth's initial reaction to the Aaron Rodgers signing has been revealed — and he's ready to chase a Super Bowl. ESPN's Brooke Pryor reported that Freiermuth was on a plane when the Rodgers signing news broke — and this is what the Steelers tight end told her: "I'm excited that Aaron [Rodgers] is a part of the locker room and we can focus on doing all the right steps to compete for a Super Bowl." It's comforting that the team still hasn't lost focus on what truly matters — bringing the seventh Lombardi to the Steel City — as the Rodgers waiting game did little to instill confidence in Pittsburgh's 2025 season. While the Rodgers-to-Freiermuth connection is one Steelers fans can excitedly look forward to, let's not forget Pittsburgh's WR1 DK Metcalf, who spent time catching passes from the four-time MVP during the infamous UCLA throwing session this offseason.

Paraguayan Olympian Luana Alonso fires back at country's officials year after allegedly creating ‘inappropriate atmosphere' amid Olympic Village exit
Paraguayan Olympic swimmer Luana Alonso shot back at her country's claims she was kicked out of the Olympic Village last year for creating an inappropriate environment, slamming it as a lie and 'false rumors.' Alonso, 21, competed for her native Paraguay in the women's 100m Butterfly at the 2024 Summer Games, but failed to reach the semifinals. During her time in France, Alonso was accused of creating an 'inappropriate atmosphere,' forcing the Paraguayan Olympic Committee to remove her from the other athletes.

Facebook /Luana Alonso She had waited 11 months to address the situation. 'Let me make this clear: I left the Olympic Village on my own,' Alonso wrote on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday. Advertisement The two-time Olympian reportedly became problematic after she failed to make it out of the heat races and took a day trip to Disneyland Paris instead of supporting her compatriots, angering the country's Olympic officials. She documented her trip to the theme park on social media, posing for a picture wearing Mickey Mouse ears and holding a champagne flute. 'Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,' Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, said in a statement published by The Sun at the time. 6 Alonso points at the Olympic Rings hanging on the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, during the 2024 Olympics.

'The Paraguayan Olympic team claimed I created an 'inappropriate environment simply because I decided I didn't want to swim anymore,' she said. 'They tried to take my accreditation away, but that's not something they had the right to do. I chose not to hand it over and apparently that was 'inappropriate' to them.' Her dress style, which featured 'skinny clothing' and socializing with athletes, was also noted as a distraction during her stay at the Olympic Village in Seine-Saint-Denis. She made headlines before the start of the Paris Games when she debuted a new tattoo on her hips of the five Olympic rings.

The Southern Methodist University alum claimed Paraguayan swimming officials had pleaded for her to return to the pool for the Pan American Junior Games being held in the country's capital, Asunción, in August. 'If I had been treated with basic respect, maybe I wouldn't have stepped away,' she added. Alonso says she always had 'given everything' for her country but when she stood up for herself it was viewed as a problem. The two-time Olympian threatened to sue news outlets who ran stories about the accusations brought against her by the Paraguayan Olympic Committee.

Who came up with that nonsense? Well that it's not true,' she wrote. Alonso also teased that she would be releasing a video to better explain her thinking. 'Seriously this (sic) lies are wild and affecting my life and that's why I decided I'm keeping my life lowkey,' she said. Alonso retired from competitive swimming shortly after the Olympics concluded, but made a sudden about-face weeks later when she returned to training.
