NFL long snapper causes commotion in church after interrupting service to demand answers over porn claims
NFL long snapper Jake McQuaide was escorted out of an Ohio church by police after he demanded that a Catholic priest explain his alleged use of a diocese computer to view pornography.
McQuaide — who formerly played for the Vikings and the Dolphins — was at Our Lady of the Visitation in Green Township, Ohio on Saturday and demanded answers from Cincinnati Archdiocese Chancellor Jason Williams, who was addressing parishioners about allegations that priest Martin Bachman had used a church computer to watch porn.
One of the church members, Todd Zureick, claimed he saw images on a laptop containing "thumbnails to pornography sites and links to multiple virtual reality role-playing sites involving pornography, sexual assault, group sex, rape, and occult themes," WCPO reported.
He filed a complaint with the church earlier this year, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
During the Saturday meeting at the church, Williams read a letter from Archbishop Robert Casey saying the rumors weren't true.
'These have been investigated, and no wrongdoing — either criminally or ecclesiastically — has been substantiated … consequently, like gossip, the spreading of rumors is sinful, and we should all work to overcome this tendency of our fallen human nature,' the letter said.
McQuaide wasn't satisfied by the letter's blanket rejection of the claims, and stood up and made clear he wanted more information.
'Please take a second. We want to put these rumors to rest. Can you answer this for me … fact or fiction,' he said, according to WCPO.
The broadcaster reports that someone at the altar told the NFL players that it wasn't the right time for him to push for more information, but he disagreed.
'I'm sorry, sir, this is the time and the place. I will stand up. … Did the priest use our parish computer to look at pornography?" he said. "You can look at pornography at your house, but you cannot do it here.'
Green Township police officers, who were asked to attend the Saturday meeting to keep the peace, then escorted McQuaide out of the church.
Captain Mitch Hill of the Green Township Police Department said the NFL player was not detained and has not been charged with a crime.
Hill noted that even if a priest had looked at pornography using a church computer, it's not illegal.
'We were not provided any complaints from parishioners, but absent an aggravating factor, viewing pornography in and of itself would not be illegal or cause to launch a criminal investigation,' he told WCPO.
The priest at the center of the allegations is reportedly going to be away on a sabbatical that the Archbishop insisted was not related to the rumors.
Green Township police have said their investigation found no evidence of crimes committed by any members of the clergy.
According to WCPO, more than 700 people from the surrounding area have signed a petition demanding transparency about the issue.

As Justin Fields energizes Jets, we'll know soon if Steelers goofed with Aaron Rodgers
As Justin Fields energizes Jets, we'll know soon if Steelers goofed with Aaron Rodgers Show Caption Hide Caption ESPN's Mike Greenberg on what the future looks like for the Jets ESPN commentator and die-hard Jets fan Mike Greenberg chats about the team's offseason moves that included cutting Aaron Rodgers and signing Justin Fields. Sports Seriously Editor's note: This story is a part of a series by USA TODAY Sports called Project: June. We will publish at least one NFL-themed story every day throughout the month because fans know the league truly never sleeps. It's a legitimate shame that Aaron Rodgers waited so long to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers – for no other reason than the entire country won't get to see him face his most recent team, the New York Jets, on a prime-time stage during the 2025 NFL season. Naturally, reunion/revenge games – apply your label of choice – are typically fun, and the league did slot Rodgers' first matchup with his original team, the Green Bay Packers, into the 'Sunday Night Football' window in Week 8. Yet nearly three years removed from his final appearance with the Pack, that contest could be more reunion adjacent. But the Jets? The team that summarily cut Rodgers, according to him, after he flew across the country for what turned out to be a very brief sit-down with new head coach Aaron Glenn in February? Not only will that Week 1 meeting be saturated in spice following the failed Rodgers experiment in New York, it will also provide the initial exit polling of who won what will wind up being a de facto trade of quarterbacks after the NYJ signed Justin Fields, Pittsburgh's opening day starter in 2024 and a player the Steelers tried to bring back this year, per reports. In words rarely uttered or written, I'm guessing that, in the aftermath of this veritable swap, the Jets come out looking like the better run organization than the Steelers. Admittedly, it's dangerous to draw conclusions from what occurs on NFL practices fields in May and June. However it's natural to glean impressions, and the ones Fields has been giving off in Florham Park, N.J., lately have been almost universally positive. '(H)e has this quiet confidence about himself. He leads by the way that he wants to lead, alright. His influence with the guys out there, I think you guys can see it. He can galvanize a group of men,' Glenn said earlier this week when asked about Fields' progress. Galvanize a group of men. Rodgers certainly electrified the Jets' fan base upon his arrival via trade two years ago. But his 2023 season was infamously short-circuited after four plays by an Achilles tear. And there was definitely no galvanizing apparent amid a 5-12 campaign in 2024, one that incrementally saw former coach Robert Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas swept aside before the rest of the staff and then Rodgers were pink slipped. And now? As he typically does regardless of circumstances, Rodgers proceeded on his own timeline this spring − though, in fairness, he recently revealed that some people close to him are battling cancer and made him reluctant to immediately jump back into football. As the Steelers stood by and waited, the most notable thing that occurred with their otherwise pedestrian group of quarterbacks was longtime backup Mason Rudolph's recent appearance at a Donald Trump rally in suburban Pittsburgh – one that forced the Steelers, whose Rooney family ownership has long leaned Democratic, to respond to enraged fans who were upset when Trump was presented with a team jersey. Meanwhile, Fields, who was largely impressive while leading Pittsburgh to a 4-2 start in 2024 before coach Mike Tomlin's decision – some would call it misguided, as I did then – to pivot to Russell Wilson, has been all business so far with the Jets. (Ironically enough, that's probably for the best given Fields' current boss, team owner Woody Johnson, was the American ambassador to the United Kingdom during Trump's first term.) But let's stick to football, right? Again, it's June. But Fields has looked spry this spring, something Rodgers hasn't really been since leaving Wisconsin. How quickly we forget this is a guy who rushed for more than 1,100 yards with the flawed 2022 Chicago Bears, who made Fields a first-round pick the year before ... and then did next to nothing to help him, usually a stratagem reserved for quarterbacks the Jets draft. Lately, Fields, 26, has been busy organizing team-building events with his new mates, several of whom initially deified four-time league MVP Rodgers but didn't necessarily connect with him on a personal level. Importantly, on that very front, Fields has resumed vibing with star wideout Garrett Wilson, whom he played with at Ohio State. (Also, it's fair to say Wilson, who's now open to a long-term extension and wants to be 'a Jet for life,' was quite clearly not galvanized by his former quarterback last season.) '(Wilson) has been my guy for a long time now, so I really feel like we haven't skipped a beat out on the practice field. It's been great so far just being with him,' Fields said last week. '(W)hen I came here it's like we really didn't miss a day. He's been great.' Whether the Jets will be great in 2025 or the near future remains to be seen. But Fields seems to be in the optimal spot. After getting benched for Russell Wilson, who initially soared then predictably sank the Steelers last season, Fields is now with a team that is showing him the love after showing him the money – even if two years and $40 million are bargain bin bucks as it pertains to NFL quarterbacks. But he's reunited with Garrett Wilson and working behind a heavily resourced offensive line, a luxury he's rarely had during his four NFL seasons, and seems to have a chance to fully leverage his dual threat ability and potential. 'I think I can be great, and that's been the goal for me my whole life, my whole career,' says Fields. 'I think the sky's the limit for this team, for this offense. 'I mean, we have all the guys we need, we have all the talent. So it's really just going to come down to discipline and execution when the games come.' And the first one comes Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. ET, when the Steelers – and Rodgers – travel to the Meadowlands. '(I)f Aaron decides to play, it probably just makes many – if not all – the Steelers games a little more interesting,' league scheduling czar Mike North said last month after the NFL released its 2025 docket, even as Rodgers remained in limbo. 'We tried to play it down the middle. If we knew for certain that Aaron was going to be the quarterback of the Steelers, we might've done something a little different in Week 1 with the Steelers game." Still, when the topic is 'different,' there's no doubt the Jets and Steelers both look vastly altered in 2025 – and that seemed inevitable some time ago for Gang Green, spanked 37-15 in Pittsburgh last October and falling to 2-5, when Russell Wilson made his Steelers debut. Fields didn't play that night, and Rodgers was miserable (two interceptions). Forging ahead, it's hard to envision the Steelers, who clearly needed a quarterback, and Rodgers, who clearly needed a team, accomplishing much more than averting Tomlin's first losing season. It's reasonable to expect Rodgers, especially if he can remain healthy all season, to be a superior option to Wilson behind center – though it must be noted he has far less familiarity with the Steelers from schematic and personnel standpoints than he did with the Jets … and, aside from private throwing sessions with DK Metcalf, that's hardly changed this spring. As for Fields? He now seems to have a longer and more promising runway – one the Steelers might have had by keeping him in the saddle last season and allowing him to potentially flourish into the franchise quarterback they haven't had since Ben Roethlisberger was at his peak. Yet how ironic would it be if Fields fills the same role for the long woebegone Jets, who have been effectively grounded since Hall of Famer Joe Namath was at his peak five decades ago? Not that Glenn wants to apply that kind of pressure. 'Listen, obviously he's a talented player, and I'm happy that I have him as my quarterback,' the rookie HC said of Fields, who presented numerous problems when he was with the Bears and Glenn was in charge of the NFC North rival Detroit Lions defense. 'I really am,' continued Glenn, 'because I think the sky's the limit for this player, I really do. Listen, I'm not going to go out there and say that he's the next Joe Namath or anything like that. But I will tell you what, man, he's going to be a good player for us. And I'm excited with what he's going to do for us this season.' And it absolutely could be significantly more than Rodgers manages in Western Pennsylvania, where buyer's remorse could set in quickly. All NFL news on and off the field.

Bills' All-Pro Speaks Out On Newest Addition to Offense
Bills' All-Pro Speaks Out On Newest Addition to Offense originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Buffalo Bills have spent more money than any other team in free agency this year. There's a reason for that. Advertisement After another conference championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bills are doing everything they can to finally end their championship drought. That means top free agents like edge rusher Joey Bosa, wide receiver Joshua Palmer, and Michael Hoecht got long-term deals with the organization. Following the first wave of free agency, though, the Bills agreed to a few additional veterans as well. One of them, cornerback Tre'Davious White, is making his return to Buffalo after a year away from the team. Finally back in Buffalo, White is speaking out about another newcomer to the team: Wideout Elijah Moore. The former second-round pick signed a free agent deal with the Bills after the draft, and is already turning heads. Advertisement While speaking about work ethic during a post-practice press conference this week, White explained just how impressive Moore has been. "Elijah Moore, like he's gonna be a big-time player for us, too. Like route running is amazing, getting in and out of his breaks is amazing. That's a guy that's gonna make the defensive backs better, too," said White. Moore has never recorded over 1,000 yards receiving in his career. Because of that, he remains a player that has underachieved through his four-year career. The Bills believe a part of Moore's lack of numbers has to do with the quarterback position, though. And pairing him with the league MVP at quarterback in Josh Allen should certainly help in that regard.

Handicapping the Eagles' position battles as they look to defend their Super Bowl championship
PHILADELPHIA — One week remains before the Eagles break for the summer. Two viewings of OTAs have so far afforded the first looks at how the Eagles are handling the position battles within a reigning Super Bowl champion aiming to prolong its golden era. Too early to handicap starters? Never. Here's a breakdown of five key positions. Advertisement Who replaces Mekhi Becton? 1. Tyler Steen: The depth chart in OTAs was initially difficult to observe. Landon Dickerson, who'd dealt with a knee injury during the playoffs, was absent during the first viewing of workouts. At that time, Matt Pryor was the first-team left guard and Tyler Steen was the first-team right guard. Dickerson attended Tuesday's workouts. Steen remained as the first-team right guard. This signals that Steen is the frontrunner for the second straight summer. The 2023 third-round pick knows what a position battle requires. At this time last year, Steen said 'I've got to prove that I should be able to play.' The Eagles signed Becton in an effort to secure a reliable right guard along one of the NFL's most consistent offensive lines. Steen was briefly sidelined with an ankle injury in training camp, and Becton took the job and never looked back. Steen has now had two years to develop under position coach Jeff Stoutland. Steen fits Stoutland's mold. The longtime coach compared Steen's 6-6, 321-pound frame to that of former Eagles guard Brandon Brooks (6-5, 335). Brooks serves as Stoutland's prototype for the position. Steen still has room to improve after surrendering 12 pressures in 399 snaps in 2024, according to Pro Football Focus. But this is Steen's most favorable position battle since he arrived in Philadelphia. 2. Matt Pryor: The seventh-year veteran embodies Steen's biggest challenger. The Eagles signed Pryor, 31, to a one-year, $1.35 million deal partly due to their familiarity with him. Pryor, a sixth-round pick by the Eagles in 2018, started in 10 games for the Eagles in 2020 (six at right guard, three at right tackle, one at left tackle). Pryor has since spent four seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears, and, last season, he was the Bears' primary starter at right guard. That the Bears had the NFL's highest sack percentage in 2024 (10.7) doesn't make Pryor's return altogether promising. But the 2023 New York Jets had problems, too, before Becton's turnaround in Philadelphia. Pryor is another massive blocker at 6-7, 332 pounds. If Steen at all stumbles in this position battle, Pryor is, for now, the most proven guard to usurp him. 3. Kenyon Green: This is a debatable selection. Green and Trevor Keegan have alternated reps during OTAs. But Green still has powerful traits that made him the No. 15 overall pick by the Houston Texans in 2022. That the Texans changed offensive line coaches and overhauled their personnel this offseason says plenty about the kind of environment in which Green didn't adequately develop. A change of scenery should help. It's to Green's benefit that the scenery includes Stoutland. But at this point, a summer of triage doesn't seem enough to suggest Green is ready to start over Steen or Pryor. Training camp will offer an intriguing view into how far Green has already come and how much farther he has to go. Advertisement 4. Trevor Keegan: As stated above, it can be argued Keegan belongs above Green at this point. But the 6-5, 306-pound 2024 fifth-round pick hardly played as a rookie, and there's therefore little tape to go on. He's got a leg up on Green and Pryor by having already spent the past year in Philadelphia. He spent most of the season inactive on game days but played well during his Week 18 debut against the New York Giants, against whom he logged 35 snaps. Offensive linemen typically have a long runway of development under Stoutland. The burden of proof for advancement is on Keegan. Training camp awaits. Who starts opposite Quinyon Mitchell? 1. Kelee Ringo: The Eagles front office and coaching staff have projected confidence in Ringo. Given the team's budget and the way the draft fell, Ringo is arguably their most realistic choice. After releasing Darius Slay, the Eagles stockpiled depth at low investments. Multiple things can be true: these are the CB2 options the Eagles could acquire given their other needs; they believe Ringo is ready for an opportunity. Ringo's physical talent is self-evident. He's 6-2, 210 pounds and is one of the fastest players on the team (4.36-second 40-yard dash at the scouting combine). But he hasn't yet proven he can be a reliable starter. The overall dysfunction of the 2023 Eagles' secondary compounded his difficult rookie season. In 2024, Ringo only saw 21 regular-season defensive snaps until a Week 18 start against the Giants. (He was the dime defender who tried to chase down Olamide Zaccheaus on a coverage breakdown that turned into a 49-yard touchdown in a Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders.) Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio seems intent that Ringo will get his shot. He quoted something coach Nick Sirianni said in a recent staff meeting — 'repetition is the burden of leadership' — and added that 'it's up to us to get (Ringo) enough reps in practice, expose him to all the things he needs to be exposed so he can … be a competent corner through a full game and a full season.' 2. Adoree' Jackson: If Jackson is starting opposite Mitchell in Week 1, the ninth-year veteran is most likely either experiencing a revival after serving as a depth corner for the New York Giants in 2024, or Ringo isn't yet prepared to start. Jackson was once a high-profile target in free agency. A 2017 first-round pick by the Tennessee Titans, Jackson chose the Giants over the Eagles in 2021 by signing a three-year, $39 million contract. It's strange to think of Jackson as the cornerback who started against the Eagles in their divisional-round showdown in 2022. But the Giants brought back Jackson on a one-year, $1.75 million deal last season. Jackson is entering the stage of his career where he's more expected to provide reliable depth — not beat out the homegrown youth the organization has spent years developing. 3. Cooper DeJean: Fangio appears intent on keeping DeJean at nickel. That's good news for the nickel position. DeJean blossomed into a rookie of the year finalist who broke Super Bowl LIX open with a pick six. In an effort to keep DeJean on the field, Fangio is experimenting with playing DeJean at corner and safety in OTAs. Given the makeup of the cornerback room, DeJean is arguably the team's second-best corner. I laid out how the drop-off at nickel behind DeJean factors into keeping him there. Fangio's 1A plan is clear: start Ringo at corner, DeJean at nickel, and replace Ringo with DeJean in base packages. If that plan no longer becomes viable — for myriad reasons — there's a realistic scenario in which DeJean starts on the outside. Advertisement 4. Eli Ricks: Ricks is quietly operating in the background. He was the second-team cornerback with Ringo in 7-on-7s during the first viewing of OTAs and was the second-team cornerback with Jackson in team drills. He saw similar reps in Tuesday's drills. Ricks was once a pedigree prospect, a five-star recruit who initially signed with LSU, transferred to Alabama, and signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent after battling injuries during his final college season. His physical traits are enviable (6-2, 190 pounds). He's twice made the initial 53-man roster and carved out a career as a core special teamer. The volatility of the 2023 season gave him a unique opportunity for playing time at nickel as a rookie. Can the 23-year-old climb the depth chart in the final year of his contract? 5. Mac McWilliams: As with Philadelphia's other Day 3 rookies, McWilliams is still finding his footing. He's not as big (5-10, 185 pounds) as others in the room, nor is he yet as physically explosive. During individual drills, cornerbacks like Mitchell and DeJean are quickly tracking down passes, surging upward off one foot and high-pointing catches. McWilliams is still actively tracking down the passes while grounded. He's notably seeing time at nickel. He played almost a fourth of his junior snaps at Central Florida in the slot. The conversation for McWilliams right now is whether he'll make the initial 53-man roster, not whether he'll start opposite Mitchell. Who starts opposite Reed Blankenship? 1. Drew Mukuba: It's notable that Mukuba is already getting first-team reps. The Eagles had a position battle at cornerback when OTAs began in 2024, and neither Mitchell nor DeJean saw first-team reps initially — Isaiah Rodgers did. General manager Howie Roseman has often said need met value when the Eagles picked Mukuba, spending a second-round pick on a safety for the first time since 2011. The Eagles needed to backfill the safety spot the C.J. Gardner-Johnson trade left vacant. But they entered the offseason with Sydney Brown, a third-round pick in 2023, still under contract. Mukuba also spent two seasons as Clemson's primary nickel, which suggested the Eagles secured an option in the slot that would've afforded them to move DeJean outside. But Roseman underlined Mukuba's skillset as a 'cover safety' and Fangio said 'we've focused him at safety right now.' Given the signs, Mukuba is on a favorable trajectory to start immediately for the Eagles — as he did at Clemson. 2. Sydney Brown: Brown may have tenure on his side, but the ever-blunt Fangio consistently brings up that the bulk of Brown's defensive snaps were in 2023 (335), not 2024 (79). Of course, that's because Brown suffered an ACL tear in the regular-season finale as a rookie. He didn't return to practice until October, and he made his debut in Week 7 against the Giants. By then, Gardner-Johnson, one of Philly's high-profile free agency signings, had solidified himself as the starter, and Tristin McCollum's nearly two years of development made him a difficult backup to immediately supplant. Brown found a role on special teams. Brown is a uniquely tenacious and determined player. Former defensive coordinator Sean Desai may not have been as successful as Fangio, but Brown's 99-yard pick-six as a rookie against the Arizona Cardinals originated within a system that used similar principles. (Desai spent four seasons working for Fangio.) Brown draws enough motivation from his personal story. Could Mukuba's arrival light a productive fire? 3. Tristin McCollum: When a reporter asked Fangio to comment on the position battle between Mukuba and Brown, Fangio was quick to add that 'Tristin's in that, too.' McCollum has been working with the second-team defense in OTAs, often playing in tandem with Mukuba, Brown and Andre Sam. McCollum, a former undrafted free agent the Eagles signed in 2022, worked his way up from the practice squad to play in 14 games during the 2024 season with two starts. He was twice targeted for touchdowns last season, according to NextGen Stats, and his command of Fangio's system still needs to be refined. But that Fangio felt it important to remind people that McCollum is in the mix shouldn't be ignored. Who starts while Nakobe Dean recovers? Advertisement 1. Jihaad Campbell: Fangio said Tuesday that Dean 'won't be back any time soon.' The defense's Mike linebacker is still recovering from a torn patellar tendon sustained in the NFC wild-card round; a league source said Dean could miss the start of the 2025 season while recovering. It may seem a strange choice to project Campbell as the Week 1 starter, given Campbell has yet to return from labrum surgery. But the Eagles are pointedly invested in the development of Campbell, a top-10 player on the Eagles' draft board. Fangio, who cut his teeth as the linebackers coach with the Dome Patrol Saints, said he's personally taking Campbell to the side to do individual drills 'that's suited to what he can do right now.' There's little question Campbell has the talent to see the field quickly. If he has a long enough runway in training camp, it's not hard to see the No. 31 overall pick winning the backup job — and, if Dean's absence is prolonged, staying there. 2. Jeremiah Trotter Jr.: The 2024 fifth-round pick essentially has a summer's head start to keep Campbell at bay. He was an effective member on Philly's special teams as a rookie. Upon Dean's injury, Fangio initially considered fielding Oren Burks and Trotter Jr. in a rotation. (Such an arrangement would've been unusual for Fangio, who rarely rotates his linebackers if he can help it.) Burks performed well and started through Super Bowl LIX. It seemed Trotter would be elevated to the backup role when Burks signed with the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency. Then the Eagles drafted Campbell. Still, it's easy to see how Trotter starts in Week 1. Fangio didn't rush Cooper DeJean onto the field in 2024. DeJean, who missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury, didn't start at nickel until Week 6. 3. Smael Mondon Jr.: OTAs is a poor setting to observe linebackers. There's no tackling. There's hardly any contact between linebackers and blockers. Any evaluation of Mondon at this point is insufficient. His 6-3, 230-pound frame invites attention during individual drills. Roseman clearly has a deep regard for Georgia defenders. Mondon is entering the phase Trotter did a year ago. It'd be unfair at this point to expect anything more. Who replaces the snaps Milton Williams left behind? 1. Moro Ojomo: Williams is leaving behind a sizable hole in Philadelphia's defensive interior. He fulfilled his 47.85 percent snap share in 2024 in a versatile role in which he lined up in multiple alignments across the front. Fangio deployed Ojomo, a seventh-round pick in 2023, in similar fashion at a lower rate (37.1 percent snap share). Both viewings of OTAs revealed that Ojomo is Williams' successor. That Ojomo is in position to start marks for a considerable success story for someone who was 11 picks away from not being drafted at all. There's, of course, a financial factor to consider. If Ojomo indeed solidifies his spot with the first-team defense, the Eagles will have replaced Williams with someone who won't be larger than a $1.2 million cap hit in either of the next two seasons. 2. Ty Robinson: The key here is Robinson's inside-outside versatility. It may be soon true that Robinson has the most range of anyone on the Eagles d-line other than Jalen Carter. Robinson also may be a rookie, but Byron Young hasn't played since 2023, and Gabe Hall has yet to make his NFL debut since the Eagles signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2024. There's plenty to like about Robinson's tape at Nebraska. He works well with his hands to get off blocks, make tackles and force fumbles. He was also a consistent problem against Ohio State last year. His consistent play with a high dose of snaps should also endear him to Fangio. Robinson, 24, is a mature prospect who'll have to hold his own against NFL competition after establishing himself in six collegiate seasons. 3. Thomas Booker: Booker was fairly productive in 2024 (18 tackles, one sack, two tackles for loss) for playing 15.9 percent of the defense's snaps. His size profile (6-3, 301) affords a different skillset than Williams (6-3, 290) or Robinson (6-5, 288) — especially on slots in between the guards. Booker's half-sacks against the Cleveland Browns and Dallas Cowboys underline how he's capable of creating pressure from the interior. Will it be consistent enough and frequent enough to secure more snaps in 2025? (Top photo of Tyler Steen: Eric Hartline / Imagn Images)
