Tyreek Hill speaks his mind on Dolphins teammate, Steelers trade target Jalen Ramsey
The Jalen Ramsey-to-Pittsburgh rumors had begun to simmer down — which is music to Tyreek Hill's ears.
At Fanatics Fest, the Dolphins' All-Pro wide receiver made his desire to keep Ramsey in Miami known:
'I'm going to hang out with Ramsey next week, man,' Hill said. 'I'm going to get him back. Full-court press, I'm getting Ramsey back in a Dolphins jersey. I don't care what they say — it's tampering, whatever. We need Ramsey. He's a dog. He's one of the best corners in the league — great leader, great teammate too, though. That's what he doesn't get a lot of credit for … We just need him on the Dolphins, man.'
On last Friday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show, insider Adam Schefter boldly claimed that 'Ramsey will get traded' and preferred a landing spot on the West Coast — clearly bad news for a potential Steelers trade.
Will Hill's sales pitch to Ramsey work in Miami's favor, or will Pittsburgh give Steelers fans what they're asking for with a blockbuster trade?

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.

Kobe Bryant's words inspire Tyrese Haliburton after ‘shock' Achilles injury in Finals
A day after having to leave the biggest game of his life, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton shared his first public comments since tearing his right Achilles tendon early in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. 'Words cannot express the pain of this letdown,' Haliburton wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after undergoing surgery Monday to repair the tendon. 'The frustration is unfathomable. I've worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.' But for the majority of his five-paragraph post, which Haliburton accompanied with a photo of himself smiling and forming a heart with his hands from a hospital bed, the two-time All Star also delivered a message of optimism and determination. And he did so, in part, by quoting late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, who overcame the same injury in 2013. 'I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation,' Haliburton wrote. ''There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.' 'And that's exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.' Bryant's words were part of a lengthy Facebook post early in the morning on April 13, 2013, hours after tearing his left Achilles tendon while driving to the basket during a game against the Golden State Warriors the previous night. After suffering the injury, Bryant famously stayed in the game long enough to sink two free throws. In his post, Bryant describes his raw emotions and even uncharacteristically expresses some self-doubt before his famous Mamba Mentality inevitably surfaces. 'All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions of times!' wrote Bryant, who was 34 at the time. 'The frustration is unbearable. The anger is rage. Why the hell did this happen ?!? Makes no damn sense. Now I'm supposed to come back from this and be the same player Or better at 35?!? How in the world am I supposed to do that?? 'I have NO CLUE. Do I have the consistent will to overcome this thing? Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was. Maybe this is how my book ends. Maybe Father Time has defeated again maybe not! 'Its 3:30am, my foot feels like dead weight, my head is spinning from the pain meds and Im wide awake. Forgive my Venting but whats the purpose of social media if I wont bring it to you Real No Image?? Feels good to vent, let it out. To feel as if THIS is the WORST thing EVER! Because After ALL the venting, a real perspective sets in.' That's where Bryant writes the words that Haliburton quoted. 'We don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run,' Bryant wrote later in the post. 'We endure and conquer.' True to his word, Bryant returned to the floor with the Lakers on Dec. 8, 2013. He dealt with several other injuries — including a knee injury that ended his 2013-14 season just six games after he returned from the Achilles — before retiring at the end of the 2015-16 season, his 20th in the NBA. More than a decade later, a 25-year-old star is using Bryant's words as inspiration, days after being unable to help his team in a 103-91 loss to the Thunder with the NBA championship on the line. Here is Haliburton's full post: 'Man. Don't know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I've worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense. 'Now that I've gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I'm going to 'come back stronger'. What a cliche lol, this s— sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what's hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I'm rambling, but I know this is something I'll look back on when I'm through this, as something I'm proud I fought through. It feels good to let this s— out without y'all seeing the kid ugly cry. 'At 25, I've already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I'll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don't regret it. I'd do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special. 'Indy, I'm sorry. If any fan base doesn't deserve this, it's y'all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don't doubt for a second that y'all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. 'There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.' And that's exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right. 'My journey to get to where I am today wasn't by happenstance, I've pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I'm grateful. I'm grateful for every single experience that's led me here. I'm grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don't 'have to' go through this, I get to go through this. I'm grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I'll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton. 'Proverbs 3:5-6 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.''

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers is 'pretty sure' the 2025 season will be his last in the NFL
Aaron Rodgers is 'pretty sure' the 2025 season, his first with the Pittsburgh Steelers, will be his last in the NFL, the 41-year-old quarterback said Tuesday. The four-time MVP signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh earlier this month after two injury-marred seasons with the New York Jets. Rodgers' base salary is $13.65 million and he could earn up to $19.5 million with incentives, according to Spotrac. 'I'm pretty sure this is it. That's why we just did a one-year deal. The Steelers didn't need to put any extra years on that or anything,' Rodgers said on 'The Pat McAfee Show.' 'This was really about finishing with a lot of love and fun and peace for the career that I've had.' Rodgers agreed to sign with Pittsburgh after regular conversations with coach Mike Tomlin over a few months, characterizing the decision during the Steelers' recent minicamp as 'best for my soul.' '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 said Tuesday. Rodgers also explained why he has not disclosed more details about his recent marriage to a woman he has identified only by her first name, Brittani. 'I lived in the public eye for 20 years. I had public relationships. How did that work out? I had people leaking my home information and leaking stories that we bought a house together. I had people calling paparazzi,' he said. 'Didn't want any of that, didn't like any of that, and now I'm with somebody who's private, who doesn't want to be in the public eye, didn't sign up to be a celebrity, doesn't want to be a part of it.' 'When this is all done, it's Keyser Soze. You won't see me,' Rodgers said. 'I'm not going to be in the public eye.' On the field, Rodgers hopes to provide stability — at least for one year — for a franchise that has cycled through several quarterbacks since Ben Roethlisberger retired after the 2021 season. 'For this year, I'm going to give the Steelers everything that I got and empty the tank and be super comfortable and satisfied with whatever happens,' he said.
