Steelers' Aaron Rodgers predicts two offensive linemen to be involved in first camp fight
"No fighting something starts kick his ass" 😂😂@AaronRodgers12 #PMSLive Steelers training camp on Wednesday was filled with hilarious moments — courtesy of the relationship between Aaron Rodgers and one of his closest friends and fellow Yinzer Pat McAfee. Rodgers appeared on a special edition of The Pat McAfee Show live from Latrobe, where he joked that everyone is taking bets on which players will be the first to get into fights at training camp — picking two offensive linemen as his prediction. "We're all taking side bets on who the first fight is gonna be," Rodgers said. "And if I'm a betting man, I'm saying that either Zach Frazier or Mason McCormick will be involved in the first fight." Rodgers then added a hilarious one-liner when discussing the expectations at training camp. "That's one of the rules, no fighting," Rodgers said. "But if something starts, whip his a--." Jokes aside, the revamped Steelers roster checks a lot of boxes — including fiery personalities and trash talkers like CB Jalen Ramsey and WR DK Metcalf, two new acquisitions who continue to turn heads as camp rolls on.

NYC primary that included dead voters' ballots is finally decided, but criminal probe swirls
A winner was finally certified in a hotly Brooklyn City Council primary marred by the revelation that ballots had been cast for dead voters — but a criminal investigation will continue. The city Board of Elections certified George Sarantopoulos as the winner of a Republican Party primary over GOP chairman Richie Barsamian on Tuesday after an expose by The Post that showed accusations of voter fraud that included the revelation absentee ballots were cast for at least two dead voters. A third voter said he hadn't voted but received a 'cure notice' that is sent to voters when their ballots contain errors such as a missing signature.

Elections officials uncovered two alleged incidents of voter fraud — the dead voters as well as 22 ballots that were discovered during the manual recount that could not be attributed to specific voters. Advertisement 'In a small Republican primary, unlike a mayoral contest, there were multiple ballot irregularities — including two absentee ballots who were casting for people who are deceased, and obviously the one person who was a living voter who did not vote at all,' Sarantopoulous said. 4 Voters feed their ballots into scanners during the first day of early voting at the Brooklyn Museum on Saturday, June 14, 2025 in New York City. Michael Nagle 'We can't let this stand,' he added. 'Democrats, Republicans and independents. We all need to know that we have a system we can trust. Period full stop.' Barsamian, who has the power to appoint BOE workers as chair of borough's Republican Party, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Advertisement Sarantopoulous ultimately beat Barsamian by a mere 16 votes to challenge Democratic nominee Kayla Santosuosso in November. 4 The Brooklyn District Attorney's office is now probing the claims, according to sources. George Sarantopoulos / Facebook 'Hot take: we shouldn't count ballots cast by dead people and shouldn't certify election results until we know the scale of the fraud involved. Voters deserve nothing less,' Santosuosso said in a statement. The winner of the general election will replace Councilman Justin Brannan, who will reach the end of his term limit at the end of this year. Advertisement The BOE maintains it has been thoroughly transparent throughout the recount process. 4 Brooklyn Republican Party Chairman Richie Barsamian attends a small protest outside a vacant lot at 2481 McDonald Avenue on Sunday, April 6, 2025. Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post 'We have completed a comprehensive and transparent review of all valid ballots, including a full hand count,' BOE Deputy Executive Director Vincent Ignizio said in a statement. 'The outcome of the race has remained consistent at every stage,' Ignizio said. 'In accordance with New York State Election Law, all valid votes have been properly counted. 'Our responsibility now is to certify the results and proceed with preparations for the general election in November. Any specific allegations of fraud will be handled appropriately by the District Attorney's office.'

Former Iowa football QB re-enters NCAA transfer portal
In a continuation of a whirlwind summer for the native of Jacksonville, Florida, former Iowa football quarterback James Resar announced Tuesday evening that he has re-entered his name into the transfer portal for a second time. Resar, a 6-foot-4, 212-pound quarterback, signed with the Hawkeyes as part of the 2024 class. Resar was regarded as a four-star signee, as the No. 23 overall and as the No. 41 recruit in Florida in the 2024 class, per 247Sports. Though he arrived as a quarterback signee, Resar switched positions to wide receiver. Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz revealed that Resar sustained a non-contact knee injury after the position change. Resar then announced his initial entrance into the transfer portal back in December eventually committed to UNC-Pembroke on June 4. After close to two months with the Braves program, Resar will now be searching for another landing spot for the upcoming season. Resar was also a tremendous track athlete when he signed with the Hawkeyes. The Florida product earned four varsity letters in track and was a 100-meter district champion with a personal best of 10.67 seconds. Per 247Sports' 2025 transfer portal rankings, Resar is listed as the No. 58 available quarterback and No. 807 player overall. Wherever he commits out of his second transfer portal experience, the former Hawkeye will have four years of NCAA eligibility remaining.
