"He looks miserable": DK Metcalf appears unhappy in viral video as Steelers fans worry their $150M star already regrets joining the team

When the Steelers landed
DK Metcalf
in a blockbuster trade and locked him down with a five-year, $150 million deal in March, Pittsburgh fans were over the moon. But just a few weeks later, one viral video has flipped the mood completely. DK's arrival at the team facility was meant to be a feel-good moment. Instead, his dead-serious face and low energy sparked a wave of memes, fan concern, and speculation that he's already regretting the move.
The clip that started it all: DK Metcalf looked absolutely over it on day one in Pittsburgh
The video, posted by the Steelers' official X (formerly Twitter) account, was supposed to be a standard 'Welcome to the squad' post. Instead, it showed DK Metcalf walking into the facility stone-faced, hands in pockets, barely looking up. No smile, no dap, no excitement. Fans were hyped when Pittsburgh signed DK Metcalf. But now, one video has everyone asking, does he even want to be here?

Pittsburgh's shaky QB situation might be the reason behind DK Metcalf's somber energy
Here's the real tea: while Metcalf is a Pro Bowl-level wide receiver, the Steelers still don't have a solid quarterback to throw him the ball. At the moment, their QB room includes Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson, with the hope that the 2025

Draft will add someone more promising.
Fans expected a big-name vet, maybe even
Aaron Rodgers
but that hasn't happened. And if you're DK Metcalf, used to catching bombs from Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, this QB drop-off might feel like a nightmare.
If the Steelers don't fix their QB situation, this could become a full-on saga. But if Pittsburgh grabs a franchise quarterback in the draft or signs a vet late in free agency, it might be just the spark DK needs to feel fired up again.

What if Matthew Stafford was a Steeler? The surprising scenario reshaping Aaron Rodgers' future
The buzz around Aaron Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh made quite a news through the NFL community—and not just for what it means on the field. As the Steelers hope to break their playoff drought dating back to 2016, speculation has already begun about the future of longtime head coach Mike Tomlin. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The question isn't just whether Rodgers can deliver wins—it's whether failure to do so could signal the end of an era in Pittsburgh. How the Rams' QB drama almost changed everything for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers On a recent episode of Unsportsmanlike, ESPN's Evan Cohen and Super Bowl champion Chris Canty dove into that very topic, peeling back the layers of Tomlin's decision-making over the past few months. One point of discussion? Whether the Steelers missed a golden opportunity by not aggressively pursuing Matthew Stafford before the 2024 season. 'It's not like he wasn't allowed to scream and yell and say, 'Go get me Stafford,'' Cohen said, suggesting that Tomlin may have held more influence over Pittsburgh's offseason strategy than he utilized. The idea that the Rams could have been tempted by a hefty trade offer—perhaps two first-round picks and a second—wasn't out of the question. In fact, the Atlanta Falcons offered a future first-rounder to the Rams during the April draft to move up the board, proving the market for Stafford was alive and well. Had the Steelers matched that offer, there's a world in which Stafford dons black and gold this fall. But it wasn't just about trade compensation—it was about the money. According to the New York Post, the New York Giants were reportedly willing to go beyond $100 million for Stafford's services. The veteran quarterback ultimately chose to restructure with Los Angeles, buying into a more favorable Super Bowl window. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Would Pittsburgh have made a compelling enough offer? That remains a what-if scenario that might haunt Steelers fans if 2025 doesn't end in playoff success. In the midst of this speculation, some believe Aaron Rodgers now carries the weight of Tomlin's future. But NFL insider Dan Graziano doesn't see it that way. 'If Mike Tomlin is not going to be the Steelers coach anymore,' Graziano remarked, 'I think that's not going to be because of Aaron Rodgers. That would be because the organization decided it's time, or he's decided it's time, or both.' That nuance is key. Even if Rodgers doesn't lead Pittsburgh deep into the playoffs, Tomlin's legacy is still secure in many circles. Yet, as Graziano pointed out, 'if they flame out… there'll probably be some conversations.' Not because of Rodgers, but because time—and expectations—waits for no one in the NFL. As Pittsburgh navigates the high-stakes season ahead, all eyes will be on both Rodgers' arm and Tomlin's decisions. Also Read:

Swifties blamed for Travis Kelce interview leak as Bussin' With The Boys crew relives ‘hacked' moment
The Bussin' With The Boys podcast team faced a major setback when their unreleased interview with Travis Kelce was leaked online (Getty Images) In a surprising and chaotic turn of events, the Bussin' With The Boys podcast crew recently opened up about a behind-the-scenes disaster involving their unreleased interview with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce . According to the show's editors, a leak of the unlisted YouTube interview caused panic within the team—and they believe Taylor Swift's passionate fanbase may have been behind it. Travis Kelce interview clips mysteriously leak before release, sending podcast team into panic On a recent episode of Back of the Bus, a spinoff of Bussin' With The Boys, crew member Mitch recalled the shocking moment when footage from their yet-to-be-published Travis Kelce interview surfaced online. 'He was so big that we kind of got hacked. We weren't recording with Travis at the time. Clips started hitting Twitter, 10-minute clips,' Mitch recounted. 'You look at me, and you were like, 'Did you post the episode?' I'm like no.' Mitch had uploaded the interview as an unlisted video on YouTube—a common practice for internal sharing before a video officially goes live. However, even unlisted videos can be viewed if someone obtains the direct URL. Somehow, Swifties—Taylor Swift's notoriously tech-savvy and devoted fandom—appeared to have found it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

Jack shows me these videos on Twitter, and I'm like, What did I do wrong? I had to go tell Will and Taylor. I don't know what happened, but somehow the episode was leaked. I don't know how somebody got the URL. Swifties hacked us,' Mitch concluded. Swift's fans are known for their unmatched online detective skills. From tracking her private jet to decoding song lyrics, Swifties spare no effort in supporting—and sometimes protecting—their queen. When Swift started dating Kelce nearly two years ago, their attention naturally extended to every detail of his public appearances and media engagements. In this case, their deep-dive internet sleuthing may have inadvertently compromised a podcast team's entire rollout strategy. Despite the chaos, the Bussin' team had nothing but praise for Kelce and his team, even giving a shout out to the New Heights podcast, which Kelce co-hosts with his brother Jason. They specifically acknowledged their respect for New Heights' social media producer, Jake Chatzky—known online as Jets Jake—for how he handles their digital content.

Bengaluru stampede: Cops had warned against feting RCB at legislature
BENGALURU: Three days after a stampede outside M Chinnaswamy Stadium killed 11 peopleat RCB's IPL win celebration, it emerged that senior police officer MN Karibasavana Gowda had red-flagged the risks just before the event. His written warning to top bureaucrats on June 4, the day of the tragedy, also cautioned against the felicitation at Vidhana Soudha. "Lakhs of cricket fans are likely to come to Vidhana Soudha. Since there is a shortage of security personnel, making bandobast will be a problem," Gowda, in-charge of security at the legislature, wrote to department of personnel and administrative reforms secretary G Sathyavathi. Sidda, DKS have blood on their hands, they're trying to wipe it on cops: BJP In the letter, which TOI is in possession of, Gowda also pointed to the venue's sensitive status and lack of adequate CCTV coverage. Hours before the surge, department of personnel and administrative reforms secretary and senior IAS officer G Sathyavathi, overseeing arrangements at Vidhana Soudha steps, publicly urged fans to head to the stadium instead - a short distance away. The team was feted at the legislature and the celebrations then moved on to the stadium. But fears of overcrowding had set in well in advance. Despite the warning, RCB's IPL victory celebrations were allegedly rushed through - less than 24 hours after the final match - without proper crowd control or safety protocols.

But permissions were still granted. Adding fuel to the political fire, Union minister and JD(S) functionary HD Kumaraswamy alleged Saturday that the celebrations were "pre-planned" even before RCB won. "The FIR says permission for the June 4 event was sought on June 3 at 6pm - 90 minutes before the final even began. Did they dream about winning?" he asked, demanding accountability from CM Siddaramaiah , deputy CM DK Shivakumar, and home minister G Parameshwara. He questioned the need for a felicitation so soon. "Was such a slipshod felicitation needed? Who put pressure on the police commissioner at 7.30am that day for permission?" BJP's Bangalore North MP and Union minister Shobha Karandlaje echoed the outrage, calling it a "misuse of govt space". "The grand stairs of Vidhana Soudha have always been used for swearing-in or state functions. You used it for a private team," she said. Accusing the Congress brass, Karandlaje said: "Siddaramaiah and Shivakumar have blood on their hands. Now they're trying to wipe it on police officers. Where are KC Venugopal and Randeep Singh Surjewala hiding?"
