BREAKING NEWS Aaron Rodgers to sign one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Rodgers is finally set to end his NFL limbo and sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, according to reports.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero claims Rodgers has informed the Steelers that he will fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign ahead of next week's minicamp.
Pelissero's colleague Ian Rapoport also added that he will be putting pen to paper on a one-year deal with Mike Tomlin's team.
The four-time MVP quarterback had been agonizing over his next move for close to three months after being released by the New York Jets in March.

Hamlin undeterred by ruling siding with NASCAR in lawsuit filed by Jordan-owned 23XI and Front Row
Denny Hamlin is unfazed that a three-judge federal appellate panel vacated an injunction that required NASCAR to recognize 23XI, which he owns with Michael Jordan, and Front Row as chartered teams as part of an antitrust lawsuit. 'That's just such a small part of the entire litigation,' Hamlin said Saturday, a day ahead of the FireKeepers Casino 400. "I'm not deterred at all. We're in good shape.' Hamlin said Jordan feels the same way. 'He just remains very confident, just like I do,' Hamiln said. NASCAR has not commented on the latest ruling. 23XI and Front Row sued NASCAR late last year after refusing to sign new agreements on charter renewals. They asked for a temporary injunction that would recognize them as chartered teams for this season, but the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, on Thursday ruled in NASCAR's favor. 'We're looking at all options right now,' Hamlin said. The teams, each winless this year, said they needed the injunction because the current charter agreement prohibits them from suing NASCAR. 23XI also argued it would be harmed because Tyler Reddick's contract would have made him a free agent if the team could not guarantee him a charter-protected car. Hamlin insisted he's not worried about losing drivers because of the uncertainty. 'I'm not focused on that particularly right this second,' he said. Reddick, who was last year's regular-season champion and competed for the Cup title in November, enters the race Sunday at Michigan ranked sixth in the Cup Series standings. The charter system is similar to franchises in other sports, but the charters are revocable by NASCAR and have expiration dates. The six teams may have to compete as 'open' cars and would have to qualify on speed each week to make the race and would receive a fraction of the money. Without a charter, Hamlin said it would cost the teams 'tens of millions,' to run three cars. 'We're committed to run this season open if we have to,' he said. 'We're going to race and fulfill all of our commitments no matter what. We're here to race. Our team is going to be here for the long haul and we're confident of that.' The antitrust case isn't scheduled to be heard until December. NASCAR has not said what it would do with the six charters held by the two organizations if they are returned to the sanctioning body. There are 36 chartered cars for a 40-car field. 'We feel like facts were on our side,' Hamlin said. 'I think if you listen to the judges, even they mentioned that we might be in pretty good shape.' ___

WR Chris Conley retires from NFL to attend film school
June 7 - Wide receiver Chris Conley is retiring from the NFL after 10 seasons to pursue a career as a filmmaker.

Phillies place 1B Bryce Harper (wrist) on injured list
June 7 - The Philadelphia Phillies placed first baseman Bryce Harper on the 10-day injured list Saturday with inflammation in his right wrist. The move is retroactive to Friday for the two-time National League Most Valuable Player, who was 0-for-8 with five strikeouts in losses to the Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday and Thursday. Harper, 32, returned to the lineup Tuesday after missing five games following being struck by a pitch on the right elbow on May 27. The eight-time All-Star is batting .258 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 57 games this season. His .814 OPS is his lowest since finishing the 2016 campaign at the same number. The Phillies, losers of seven of eight entering Saturday's matinee at Pittsburgh, called up infielder/outfielder Otto Kemp from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Kemp, 25, is in line to make his major league debut. He is batting .317 with a 1.018 OPS, 14 homers, 55 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in 57 games this season at Lehigh Valley. Philadelphia also recalled right-hander Daniel Robert from Triple-A after optioning right-hander Alan Rangel there following Friday's 5-4 loss in Pittsburgh. --Field Level Media
