Chargers troll Tomlin-led Steelers winning tradition in Minecraft schedule release video
The Steelers' winning traditions were recently blasted by the Los Angeles Chargers' schedule release video.
In 2021, the Chargers released their PowerPoint-styled schedule reveal, mocking their opponents in hilarious fashion — and ever since then, Los Angeles has released these annually. The Chargers followed with anime-themed schedule reveals in 2022 and 2023, as well as a 2024 reveal focused on The Sims.

Los Angeles took a different route in 2025 — a Minecraft-themed schedule release to capitalize on the success of the hit movie adaptation that took April by storm.
Complete with a chicken jockey movie reference, Sam Darnold leaving the Vikings for the Seahawks, and even acknowledging the recent George Pickens trade — the Chargers' release video spared no feelings, especially not those of HC Mike Tomlin and his standard of finishing above .500 every season.
Chargers schedule release roasts '9-8' Steelers:
The Steelers, who will face the Chargers in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football, were symbolized by a 'Flint-and-Steel mine.' Two Minecraft avatars, who appeared to be Steelers fans, entered and took two different tracks — one labeled 'contend' and the other 'rebuild.' Both led straight into a pit of lava, but before they met their fate, Mike Tomlin was seen standing in a cave system by two signs that read 'track ends in 9-8' and 'We do not care.'

Both signs were clearly directed at the Steelers head coach, who the NFL world continues to praise for his inability to coach a losing season despite a poor playoff record — as well as for his infamous 'we do not care' line.
This segment was clearly symbolic of Pittsburgh's recent philosophy on whether or not to fully rebuild the team — and the Steelers' refusal to commit led both tracks straight to their doom. Another hilarious dig included an Aaron Rodgers-themed avatar taking the perilous drop.
Clearly, the Chargers' social media team — or whoever is in charge of these schedule release videos — deserves a raise. But what's also evident is that Los Angeles will need to beware of the Steelers' wrath when Pittsburgh comes to SoFi in Week 10 of the 2025 season.

Jared Leto Breaks Silence on ‘Inappropriate' Behavior Allegations From Nine Women
Academy Award-winning actor Jared Leto has been accused of sexual impropriety by multiple women in a shocking report from Air Mail. The report interviewed nine women about their experiences with the Dallas Buyers Club actor, 53, which date back to the mid-2000s. One, model Laura La Rue, told the outlet that she had a bizarre encounter with Leto in 2008 when she was just 16 years old, adding that he would often text her to visit his house. 'I remember him teasing me the whole time I was there,' she said, revealing she accepted his alleged offer. 'He was flirting with me. He'd lean in close, then pull away, like it was a game.' She added that he once walked into a room she was in completely naked. 'He just walked out, d--k out, like it was normal,' La Rue, who was 16 at the time, alleged. 'I thought maybe this was just what adult men do.' Leto's representative denied any 'sexual or inappropriate' messages sent to La Rue in a statement sent to Air Mail, adding that La Rue later applied to work as Leto's personal assistant, 'further underscoring the absence of anything inappropriate in any of their interactions.' La Rue denies ever applying to work for Leto. Another woman, who was also 16 when she met Leto, described receiving increasingly sexual and inappropriate late-night phone calls from the actor over several weeks. She told Air Mail that the calls would always come 'at 1, 2, 3 a.m., and the conversations turned sexual. He'd ask things like, 'Have you ever had a boyfriend? Have you ever sucked a dick?'' The young woman, who was in rehab at the time, said the calls terrified her. 'He changed—his voice, the way he talked. It scared me,' she told Air Mail. 'That was the first time I thought, 'Oh my God, that's not just in movies.'' Other women described similarly chilling behavior from Leto, with one woman telling Air Mail, 'He'd be sweet, then suddenly really demeaning. It was a switch.' Another told the outlet about hooking up with Leto at an 18-and-older nightclub when she was 20, which eventually resulted in her visiting his home several times. She was disturbed by her experiences, however, telling Air Mail, 'He was weird. Look, I know some people are kinky, and that's fine. But his kind of kink—it just didn't feel right.' An actress who started texting Leto when she was underage echoed this sentiment, telling Air Mail how visits to his home would quickly become uncomfortable after he would ask her questions such as, 'Do any of the little boys you hang out with fuck you?' Once she turned 18, he became more sexually aggressive, and on one occasion, 'he suddenly pulled his penis out and started masturbating. Then he walked over, grabbed my hand, and put it on him. He leaned in and said, 'I want you to spit on it.'' The report also details parties organized at Leto's home in the 2000s by entrepreneur Brent Bolthouse that required headshots of potential attendees be provided beforehand so that they could be vetted, with Leto requiring 'cute girls only' attend. Rumors have dogged the actor for years; the Daily Beast reported on them following his performance in 2021's House of Gucci. In 2012, LA-based music producer Allie Teilz posted a Facebook status that read, 'Youre [sic] not really in L.A. until Jared Leto tries to force himself on you backstage… In a kilt.. And a snow hat.' Last month, she reposted that status to her Instagram story and added, 'I was assaulted and traumatized by this creep when I was 17. He knew my age and didn't care. What he did was predatory, terrifying and unacceptable.' Teilz's posts triggered an overwhelming number of responses from women with similar stories, prompting her to share more than 50 of those stories. Teilz's allegations, Leto's representative stated, are 'demonstrably false.' In fact, Leto's representative told Air Mail, 'All of the allegations are expressly denied.'

Woodlake High softball caps dream season with CIF SoCal title, plus Corcoran in action
Woodlake High softball coach Ramon Lara had faith in his team that they could have a magical season. With just one loss all season, the second-seeded Tigers were on a mission to make sure that they would not lose another game. Woodlake capped a dream season Saturday with a 4-3 victory over No. 1 Pioneer Valley in the California Interscholastic Federation Southern California Division IV championship. 'Many years of having a good group of girls that work together, and it all came together,' Woodlake coach Ramon Lara said. 'We've had a good core of girls that have played together since they were about 12 ... seventh graders. They're all junior and senior and they've become kind of a family where they know each other really well.' Woodlake scored one run in the top of the seventh inning, which proved to be a decisive win since Pioneer Valley scored a run in the bottom half of the inning. Audrina Rodriguez finished the season 22-0 after pitching a five hitter. The Tigers (30-1) celebrated their SoCal title with 15 pizzas at Mountain Mike's in Pismo Beach. The Tigers' lone loss this season was to South 10-4 at the Woodlake Tournament. Woodlake won the Central Section Division IV title after an 8-1 victory over Coalinga at Margie Wright Diamond on May 31. No. 1-seed Corcoran trailed 4-0 and rallied, scoring a run in the sixth and two runs in the seventh, but lost 4-3 to No. 3 Pioneer-Whittier in the SoCal Division V championship. The Panthers finished the season 27-5 and a Central Section V title after an 18-6 victory over Shafter.
