Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers hints at retirement: 'I'm pretty sure this is it'
Aaron Rodgers appears to be ready to hang it up after the 2025 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
On Tuesday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers was asked if this year would be his last — and this was his response:

'Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it,' Rodgers said. 'That's why we just did a one-year deal. Steelers didn't need to put any extra years on that or anything. This was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun — and peace for the career that I've had. I mean, I played 20 freaking years. It's been a long run and I've enjoyed it. And what better place to finish than in one of the cornerstone franchises of the NFL with Mike Tomlin, and a great group of leadership, and great guys, and a city that expects you to win.'
Rodgers has two records to break this season before he rides off into the sunset — another bow on what has been a legendary, Hall of Fame-worthy run.

Little Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle
Let's be real: if snacks had a VIP section, Little Debbie would already be in it—heels kicked up, sipping a Yoo-hoo. And now? She's back with a new flex: Old Fashioned Donuts. That's right—our beloved childhood snack queen is rolling out a classic cake-style donut that's about to make your pantry feel brand new (and highly snackable). These golden rings of greatness are dense, buttery, and dripping with that sweet, signature glaze. Each box comes with six individually-wrapped full-size donuts, which means your summer snack stash just leveled up. Think: classic coffees shop vibes, but with Little Debbie convenience. No mess, no sharing listen, if you've seen Ice Cube's iconic 2002 film Friday After Next, you already know the truth—Baby D would've been all over these. After all, "Baby D knows all the new snacks before they even hit the street.' From the crispy edges to the moist center, they're built for sneaky bites, midnight cravings or the classic coffee setup next to your morning brew. What makes them special? They bring big nostalgia energy. If the tasty new item is giving you deja vu, it's because they may remind you of the brand's legendary Donut Sticks. This time though, the donuts offer a thicker, richer and way more satisfying bite. Dare I say, they might even snatch the crown from Hostess Donettes. Yeah, I said teasing fans on National Donut Day, Little Debbie officially confirmed the launch, and snack fans everywhere went wild. One person on Instagram said, 'This is generational,' and honestly, I felt that. Expect to see these on grocery shelves nationwide by the end of June, with some retailers already stocking shelves now. Whether you're packing them in your beach bag, hiding them in your desk drawer, or just unapologetically living your best snack life, they're coming for your cravings. Bottom line: Little Debbie just pulled off a glow-up on a classic. And if Baby D was right? You better grab yours before the streets Debbie Just Gave Us a Delicious Reason to Revisit the Snack Aisle first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 18, 2025

Louis Rees-Zammit will try the NFL for another year or two before returning to rugby
When Welsh rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit announced last year that he would move overseas to try to make it in the NFL, he was taking a big risk by giving up stardom at home for a sport he had never played before. So far it hasn't paid off, but he says he's giving himself a year or two to keep trying. Rees-Zammit originally went to the Chiefs and played running back for them in the preseason last year, then was cut by the Chiefs and signed to the Jaguars' practice squad as a wide receiver. He's still in Jacksonville and said he thinks he's got some more time to figure out the American game. 'International players get probably two to three years to make it in the NFL,' Rees-Zammit told 'So I wanted to do it at a time where I maybe could come back to rugby. I'm 24 now, probably got one to two more years to try and make it depending on how this year goes. I'll be 25, 26 when I go back to rugby. I like to think I can still play at the highest level.' Rees-Zammit said he thinks training in the NFL may prove to make him a better rugby player in the future. 'When I was playing rugby, I went to America twice to train and the things I learned there I knew straight away would help my game. Now, having two years of it, I think if I did have to go back I'll definitely be able to excel again,' he said. But first he'll try to excel in Jaguars camp, and hope they keep him around for the regular season.

Taco Bell Just Secretly Dropped a Cheesy New Menu Item and Fans Say It's 'Amazing'
Taco Bell has no shortage of menu announcements. The fast food chain has already launched five new menu items this year, like the Loaded Steak & Jalapeño Topped Fries, announced a new Crispy Chicken Taco, and even dropped a new collaboration with Tony Hawk. Now, there's a cheesy menu item in town—but it's only available in select locations. Taco Bell is testing out the $7 Steak & Cheese Tacodilla, which has recently been spotted by customers on social media. The menu item has even made its way to the chain's main website, with the ingredients including a corn and flour shell, marinated steak, mozzarella, pepper jack, cheddar cheese, and "a new bold and savory red chile sauce."Taco Bell originally revealed the news of the Tacodilla at the Live Más Live 2025 event, along with 12 other menu items spanning from sauces to desserts (such as a Purple Chile Sauce, Crispy Fajitas, Mexican Pizza Empanada, and more). According to AllRecipes, the test kitchen brought the Tacodilla to life on June 17. It's currently available in select Detroit, Michigan locations for a limited-time. Customers are particularly excited about the launch, with Reddit thread users describing the meal as "amazing," adding that they "hope these go nationwide." A second Reddit thread commenter cited the Tacodilla as "huge and pretty good," advising Taco Bell visitors to order it with extra sauce. Related: "The shell was both soft and a little crispy with a little chew…I would absolutely get it again," this Facebook user wrote. You can order the Tacodilla on its own, or as part of the Steak & Cheese Tacodilla Combo, which consists of the Tacodilla, a large fountain drink, and chips with nacho cheese sauce. With a slew of tested menu items yet to see the light of day, we certainly don't expect this latest kitchen innovation to be the last. And hopefully we'll see the Tacodilla as a permanent addition in the near Bell Just Secretly Dropped a Cheesy New Menu Item and Fans Say It's 'Amazing' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 24, 2025
