Insider reveals Steelers HC Mike Tomlin 'led the charge' to sign Aaron Rodgers
Insider reveals Steelers HC Mike Tomlin 'led the charge' to sign Aaron Rodgers Mike Tomlin isn't done channeling his inner Pittsburgh GM — as insider Jeremy Fowler reported that the long-time Steelers head coach "led the charge" to sign Aaron Rodgers. On ESPN's SportsCenter, Fowler was asked how the Steelers finally got Rodgers' pen to paper — and this is what he had to say: "Mike Tomlin led the charge to bring that man, Aaron Rodgers, to the Pittsburgh Steelers. I'm told they had several meaningful conversations over recent weeks and months to hash all this out," Fowler explained. "I was told that things started to intensify Thursday morning inside the Steelers' building. That's where people there felt, 'Okay, this is gonna get done,' and there was a sense of relief — because they really hadn't gotten a full assurance just yet." There were previous reports that Tomlin may have been behind the George Pickens trade as well — but if the Rodgers-Steelers union works out, there will be no complaints over the head coach's extracurricular general managing duties.

Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady signs new 7-figure softball NIL deal before College World Series Game 3
Pitcher NiJaree Canady signed her second seven-figure NIL deal with Texas Tech, keeping her on campus through her senior season. On Friday, Canady's manager, Derrick Shelby of Prestige Management, told ESPN about her new deal with Texas Tech's Matador Club collective. The Topeka, Kansas, native signed a historic deal in 2024 that included $1 million in direct payments and $50,000 for living expenses after transferring from Stanford. Advertisement The news comes just hours before the Red Raiders face the Texas Longhorns in a deciding Game 3 in the Women's College World Series Friday night. The details of her new deal were not disclosed. "Nija Canady is the most electrifying player in softball. She's box office and she goes out every day and competes," Shelby told ESPN. "The decision to stay at Tech was not difficult. This program has taken care of her. They have showed how much she is appreciated. The entire staff, her teammates, the school in general have been great. Tonight she is playing for a national championship and she is making history. Everything she wants from this game she can get here at Texas Tech." Canady is now in her third straight College World Series after leading Stanford to back-to-back appearances as a Cardinal. She posted a 0.97 ERA during the regular season, and has been a stalwart for the Red Raiders on the mound this WCWS. Advertisement Canady pitched 6 innings (4 hits, 2 earned runs, 7 strikeouts) in Texas Tech's 2-1 loss in Game 1 of the WCWS, and 7 innings (6 hits, 2 earned runs, 6 strikeouts) in Thursday's 4-3 Game 2 win to force Friday's clincher. A national title would be the crown jewel in Canady's decorated career, which includes several All-conference and All-American Honors. Canady also won the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year in 2024.

There may be a medical reason why Tyrese Haliburton's voice changes
Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton has continued his heroic postseason run, but if you listen to him talk about it, you may notice something. Haliburton, who represented Team USA during the Paris Olympics, occasionally sounds like he has two entirely different voices. Just press play on this clip of Haliburton talking about the improbable comeback that Indiana had against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game of the NBA Finals. Advertisement In the beginning of the interview on national TV, Haliburton is speaking with a slightly deeper voice. Then (ironically) right as he said the words "why would that change" later in the conversation, his voice suddenly had a much higher pitch. More: Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers keep pulling off the impossible It happened during his postgame press conference as well: This is something that some fans noticed when Haliburton appeared on The Young Man and the Three with JJ Redick. Then it happened against before the 2024 NBA All-Star Game hosted in Indiana as well: Haliburton has acknowledged that this is indeed something that happens to him. It is something he has talked about with ESPN's Pat McAfee. Advertisement Here is what what he says: "I do. People say that all the time ... I never catch it. I watch podcasts after and I'm like, 'Dang, my voice changed.' I didn't do that on purpose. It just happened. It just happens that way naturally sometimes." Haliburton added that he feels he has no control over it, and it's something that just happens to him. So why exactly does that happen? Brianna Williams reached out to Dr. Michael M. Johns from USC's Voice Center, and he provided a possible explanation (via ESPN): "Vocalization is a lot like athletics; people don't think of it that way because it happens naturally," Dr. Johns told ESPN. "It's like putting aluminum foil on a guitar string; the sound changes when the vibration is irregular." Regarding Haliburton's voice, Dr. Johns observed: "When you listen to Tyrese's voice, there's a rough quality to it, and that would likely be a change of what's happening at the vocal cords, like that 'tinfoil on the guitar string' analogy." He speculated that Haliburton might be compensating for vocal fatigue by changing his resonance, shifting the shape of his vocal tract or resonator. "Athletes are using their voice a lot, and they're using their voice loudly," Dr. Johns explained. "They're hollering across the court. There's a huge amount of noise around them. They've got to be heard over that noise. And so they, like other vocal athletes, can develop some injury to their vocal folds, vocal nodules, or vocal swelling that can cause some rough quality to the voice." This is fascinating and something that makes Haliburton very unique. This article originally appeared on For The Win: There may be a medical reason why Tyrese Haliburton's voice changes
