Aaron Rodgers says Steelers' offense is starting to click
During training camp on Wednesday, the Steelers' offense looked like it was closing the gap with the defense, which traditionally starts off stronger. Before practice, quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed optimism about the progress his unit has made, noting significant improvement over the last few practices.
'I mean, there's conversation, I think, is the most important thing. So talking through every issue. Art's done a nice job of allowing me to take some time in some of the meetings to kind of go through the film with the guys,' Rodgers said. 'So it's good for me to speak up from time to time. And also you pull them aside in the locker room, pull them aside on the field, and then I've got an open forum in my room or one of their rooms after practice.'
Rodgers said the offense has really been clicking the last three of four practices, building chemistry on and off the field.
He says players have really been taking advantage of the open forum, where they can suggest ideas or get on the same page. Ben Skwronek, Rodgers says, doesn't even really knock anymore before coming in to talk.

IndyCar officials and Pato O'Ward shocked by ICE-related ‘Speedway Slammer' post
Mexico Federal agenciesFacebookTweetLink Follow IndyCar driver Pato O'Ward and series officials were shocked by a social media post from the Department of Homeland Security that touts plans for an immigration detention center in Indiana dubbed 'Speedway Slammer,' and includes a car with the same number as the only Mexican driver in the series. 'It caught a lot of people off guard. Definitely caught me off guard,' O'Ward said Wednesday. 'I was just a little bit shocked at the coincidences of that and, you know, of what it means. … I don't think it made a lot of people proud, to say the least.' The post Tuesday included an image of an IndyCar-style vehicle with the No. 5 that had 'ICE' imposed on it multiple times similar to the display of a sponsor. It appeared to be a computer-created image, with the car on a track and a prison-like building in the background. Indiana is home to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and is where the IndyCar Series is based. 'We were unaware of plans to incorporate our imagery as part of yesterday's announcement,' IndyCar said in a statement Wednesday. 'Consistent with our approach to public policy and political issues, we are communicating our preference that our IP not be utilized moving forward in relation to this matter.' O'Ward said he didn't see the post until a friend texted him about it. 'I haven't really read into it too much because I don't think I want to,' he said. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a separate post used 'Speedway Slammer' when announcing the new partnership with the state of Indiana to expand detention space by 1,000 beds. The 26-year-old O'Ward, who was born in Monterrey, Mexico, is second in points, though Alex Palou can clinch the IndyCar season title as early as this weekend in Portland. O'Ward was in Texas to promote next year's inaugural Grand Prix of Arlington. That race on March 15 will be on a 2.7-mile layout that goes around the home stadiums of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and MLB's Texas Rangers. O'Ward threw a ceremonial first pitch before the Rangers' game against the New York Yankees.

Dodgers warned Padres better in two areas that could decide NL West
Dodgers warned Padres better in two areas that could decide NL West originally appeared on The Sporting News Two games separate the San Diego Padres from the Los Angeles Dodgers as the race to win the NL West is brewing to be tight. So, who will come out on top? Foul Territory's Cameron Maybin gave his take on which team will be left standing at the top. San Diego was busy leading up to last month's MLB trade deadline, securing Mason Miller from the Athletics and trading for Baltimore Orioles' Ryan O'Hearn. The Padres made moves that not only have them in the postseason race, but also give them a chance to win the division. This month, Los Angeles and San Diego will collide for six games that likely determine who wins the NL West. On Thursday's edition of "Foul Territory," Maybin explained why he sees the Padres coming from behind to take the division from the Dodgers because of pitching and defense. MORE:Padres' Michael King set to return for Saturday start "Things just feel right for the Padres," Maybin said. "When you talk about being able to shorten the game and make it a five-inning game, the Padres have just that. I mean, if somebody gets in trouble at the bullpen, they can go to another guy. They can go to another guy. They don't have to wish and hope that, 'Hey, this guy figures it out a batter or two from now.' And I just think that lineup—right now—I love the pieces that they added. "Defensively, I think they're better. I think the starting rotation is better right now. I don't know how healthy those guys will be. And then, too, just coming into the season on the back end, thinking that these guys are going to dominate—the Snell's of the world and some of the other guys that they'll have come back. Yeah, I'm leaning towards the Padres on both ends for sure." Los Angeles have an edge over the Padres this season, winning five of the seven games they have played between the two sides. Nonetheless, that was before San Diego made moves leading up to the trade deadline, so the Dodgers will face a slightly different team. The first three-game series between the rivals will take place August 15-17 at Dodger Stadium. The final three games are scheduled for August 22-24 at Petco Park.
