Former NFL star Brown wanted for attempted murder: police
Former NFL star Antonio Brown is wanted by police in Florida on charges of attempted murder (ELSA) Police in Florida have issued a warrant for the arrest of former NFL star Antonio Brown on a charge of attempted murder, authorities confirmed on Friday. Super Bowl-winner Brown is wanted in connection with an incident at an amateur boxing event in Miami on May 16. Advertisement A copy of the warrant said "several" witnesses saw Brown fire shots following a physical altercation with another man. The warrant said Brown had grabbed the handgun from a security guard. An off-duty police officer providing security for the event detained Brown before other police arrived on the scene. No gun was found on Brown, and the other man involved in the fight with the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver was not immediately located. The arrest warrant said two spent shell casings were recovered from the scene along with a discarded firearm holster. Brown later addressed the incident in a post on X on May 17, saying he had been "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me." Advertisement "Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me," Brown wrote. "I went home that night and was not arrested." The incident is the latest in a long line of legal problems faced by Brown, who spent most of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers before later winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021. Brown was accused of sexual assault by a former trainer in a 2019 civil suit which he later settled, and also pleaded no contest to burglary and battery in 2020 after an incident with a removal truck company outside his home. Brown's NFL career came to an end after he famously removed his jersey and stormed off the field during a Tampa Bay game against the New York Jets in 2022. rcw/bb

Former Steelers Star Delivers Major Key for Aaron Rodgers' Success
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are headed into a 2025 season that has just one goal attached to it. They want to win a Super Bowl. Signing a 41-year-old quarterback is a clear sign that they want to win. Rodgers has the talent still to help them pursue that goal. However, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have been successful throughout his tenure with the franchise. He has never coached a losing season. That simply isn't good enough this season. Aaron Rodgers #8 of the Pittsburgh Steelers in action during Minicamp at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on June 11, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Photo byNot only does Pittsburgh want to have another winning season, it wants to make a deep playoff run. It's clear that the Steelers truly believe Rodgers can help them do that. Read more: Steelers Linked to Elite New Weapon for Aaron Rodgers Last season with the New York Jets, Rodgers showed flashes of his old self. In his first year following a torn Achilles, he completed 63 percent of his pass attempts for 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Those numbers gave reason for optimism. One of the most important keys to making things work this season between Rodgers and the team will be open communication. That is something former Pittsburgh cornerback Joe Haden spoke out honestly about when giving advice to Rodgers about his new chapter. "You just got to be a grown man, go there, be honest," Haden said. "Coach Tomlin does a great job of being able to build real, genuine relationships with people. Me and him had a relationship where you could just talk... One thing he's going to do, he's going to be blatantly honest with you, so you just need to be honest with him. Coach Tomlin is so real. There's no fluff, there's no fake, so when he tells you something, he means it." Read more: Steelers Receive Major Promise From Aaron Rodgers Entering 2025 Rodgers has never been shy about speaking up and making his voice heard. He will have no problem being honest with Tomlin about his thoughts on the team and direction. It will be interesting to see how the 2025 season goes for the Steelers. They have a talented roster put together that will lean heavily on Rodgers being able to play at an elite level. Haden's advice is sound advice and Rodgers is sure to take it. His job is to come in, play at a high level, and take over a strong leadership role within the offense. Those are roles he has played at an elite level in the past and should be able to do so again.
