2025 Belmont Stakes: Rain clearing, but muddy track conditions to remain
The 2025 Belmont Stakes is being impacted by stormy weather around Saratoga Race Course on Saturday morning. The skies are set to clear and conditions are likely to improve in Saratoga Springs, New York after a morning of rain, but muddy conditions could remain on the track for Saturday evening's race, according to The Weather Channel. Nearly 1.5 inches of rain fell from Friday at midnight to Saturday at noon ahead of the race, according to a weather station in Saratoga Springs, which could contribute to muddy track conditions. The race day schedule has already been altered, with the Belmont Stakes sharing on social media that four races have already been moved off the turf to the main track — Races 3, 6, 10 and 14. Sunshine will become more frequent throughout the day, with temperatures in the low 70s at race time (7:04 p.m. ET). Saratoga Springs is not under any significant weather alerts as of Saturday afternoon, but there is a flash flood warning nearby in Albany, New York, which is roughly 35 miles away. [MORE: Belmont Stakes winners: Complete list by year ] Journalism (+160) is the slight favorite over Sovereignty (+200) for the 157th Belmont Stakes — the third and final leg of the Triple Crown — per DraftKings Sportsbook. Baeza (+400), Rodriguez (+600), Hill Road (+1000), Crudo (+1500), Heart of Honor (+3000) and Uncaged (+3000) round out the field. [MORE: Sovereignty, Journalism, Baeza are 'top tier' in crop of Belmont Stakes horses] Sovereignty won a rainy and muddy 151st Kentucky Derby last month on May 3, outlasting 3-1 favorite Journalism. It was 58 degrees and cloudy, and a downpour of rain made for murky conditions at Churchill Downs. Journalism dug out a victory in the 150th Preakness Stakes a few weeks later on May 17 at the old Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland for the last time before it's torn down and rebuilt. There were less-than-perfect conditions leading up to the race, but things turned around in time for the big event. It was a sunny to partly cloudy day, with the race running under mostly clear and warm conditions. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

Pittsburgh Steelers' Ceiling Questioned ... Even After Signing Aaron Rodgers
Pittsburgh Steelers' Ceiling Questioned ... Even After Signing Aaron Rodgers originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers were finally taken out of the Aaron Rodgers holding pattern and have officially landed at Acrisure Stadium with the four-time NFL MVP in tow. Advertisement But what's it all mean? According to some, it could mean everything. Some pundits have the Steelers poised for a Super Bowl run in 2025. To others, it could mean more of the same. Another disappointing end to the postseason, or worse, no playoff appearance at all. Inside the NFL's Mina Kimes believes even with the addition of Rodgers, there are still questions on offense, namely, the rushing attack. 'None of this will work, even if Rogers does buy-in, which I'm skeptical of. None of it will work, regardless of what the offense looks like, if they can't run the football better than they did last year. And that's something that they've invested in,' Kimes said. Advertisement 'They spent a third-round draft pick on a running back this year, Kaleb Johnson, who I do think is a very good fit for the Arthur Smith sort of wide zone run game. But the offensive line is very strong in the interior tackles, tackle's a question; Broadrick Jones at left tackles is the player that I think could be the pivot point of this season, both in terms of run blocking and pass protection. Rogers needs to be part of a more balanced offense.' She's not wrong. The rushing attack still has to prove it can be effective enough to open up a passing game for Rodgers. Oh yeah, and then there's Rodgers himself. Advertisement As I wrote after the announcement that he'd officially be a Steeler, he struggled mightily last year in New York and posted very un-Rodgerslike numbers. "Rodgers, who turns 42 in December, led the Jets to a 5-12 mark in his only full season in New York. Don't forget (Jets fans won't) that he missed all but four plays of the 2023 campaign after rupturing his Achilles on the first drive of the first game after joining the team two offseasons ago," I wrote on June 5. "Last season should be one to forget for Rodgers. He finished below the league average in passer rating - a stat of which he's the all-time career leader, and 31st in the league in QBR - behind names like Aidan O'Connell and Kirk Cousins. "His five wins last season are his lowest win total since 2017, when he played just seven games for Green Bay and posted a 4-3 mark. Rodgers' previous low win total was six, which he posted three times since taking over as the Packers' starting quarterback in 2008." We won't know for sure until after the season starts, but Steelers fans can only hope they get the Packers version of Rodgers and not the guy who played for the Jets last season.

Former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick announces retirement after ten seasons
Former Kansas City Chiefs draft pick announces retirement after ten seasons The Kansas City Chiefs' former offensive weapon has decided to call it a career this weekend, with intentions to begin a new life outside of football. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Veteran wide receiver Chris Conley, who most recently played for the San Francisco 49ers, has decided to retire after a ten-season career. The message was sent from his agent, Jonathan Perzley of Sport Stars NYC. Conley plans to return to film school at the University of Georgia to pursue his dream of being a filmmaker. After being selected by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Conley spent four seasons in Kansas City. During his first stint from 2015 to 2018, he battled injuries and was in and out of the starting lineup. He notably played during the transition from Alex Smith to Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, missing out by a season on becoming a Super Bowl champion. He made stops with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and 49ers. He briefly had a second stint with the Chiefs in 2022 on the practice squad.
