Jets' Schedule Wish Sees Justin Fields Get Prime Time Revenge
Justin Fields was moved on from the Pittsburgh Steelers and found a home with the New York Jets as he looks to reignite his struggling career.
The former first-round pick has bounced from the Chicago Bears to the Steelers and now the Jets as he looks to finally cash in on the glimpses of talent we have seen over his first couple of years in the league.

In what is somewhat of an ironic twist, Fields will face the Steelers in 2025 at MetLife Stadium, but we will know when and where until the NFL releases its full schedule later in the week.
But if the Jets had a schedule wish, CBS Sports thinks it would be a prime time revenge game for Fields against the Steelers.
"A prime-time home game against Pittsburgh, so Justin Fields can take on the team that let him walk," CBS Sports writes.

That would make for quite the spectacle, and Fields would no doubt want to get one over the team that thought it was better to go with Russell Wilson last season after he was 4-2 as the starter, and then thought it was better to go ahead with Mason Rudolph and others in 2025.

That will surely stick in Justin's mind.
So what better way than to face the team under the bright lights of prime time and hopefully show them what they're missing?
Justin has a clean path in 2025 with the Jets already announcing him as the starter for Tanner Engstrand's offense, but Fields will want to show the rest of the NFL world that he isn't another first-round talent to go quietly into that good night.
He's gotten a chance in New York, and he might just do a number on the team that gave up on him a year ago as he looks to kickstart his NFL career in the Big Apple.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe misses second game this season after being hit in the left elbow
NEW YORK (AP) — Anthony Volpe was not in the New York Yankees' lineup Saturday against the Boston Red Sox, a day after getting hit in the left elbow by Walker Buehler's pitch. The durable shortstop missed just his second game of the season. 'Just another day,' manager Aaron Boone said. 'I actually put him in the lineup overnight that I sent out and had him in there up until a couple of hours ago when he got here. Strength, everything's good. He's got a pretty good size swelling in there still. 'Just kind of talking with the trainers, they're like, I think it would do him well to try and get one more day and just get a lot of treatment in there and hopefully he'll be back in there tomorrow.' Volpe followed Jazz Chisholm Jr's three-run homer with his own two-run shot in a five-run first inning during New York's 9-6 victory on Friday. In the second inning, Volpe batted with the bases loaded was hit on the left elbow by Buehler's 88.2 mph changeup. He exited starting the fourth inning when the elbow swelled after he took off his brace and compression sleeve. Volpe had an X-ray at Yankee Stadium that was negative and went for a CT scan at New York-Presbyterian/ Columbia University Irving Medical Center that also didn't show any break. 'It's painful and stiff,' Volpe said Friday night. 'Knowing that it's structurally sound and you've got to just get the swelling out, definitely optimistic.' Volpe winced in pain but remained in the game after he was hit by the pitch, which forced in a run. The 24-year-old Gold Glove winner played the field in the third inning, then was replaced by Oswald Peraza at the start of the fourth. Volpe is batting .241 with eight homers and 37 RBIs and 11 of his last 19 hits are for extra bases. Volpe has played in 61 of 62 games, skipping May 4 game against Tampa Bay, a day after hurting his left shoulder on a dive trying to get to a grounder. ___ AP MLB:

Walter P. Carter Neighborhood pool opens in Northeast Baltimore
The rain on Saturday morning did not stop Baltimore City from unofficially kicking off summer. Local leaders and community members made a big 'splash' as they welcomed the brand-new Walter P. Carter Neighborhood Pool in Wilson Park. Jill Carter said it is more than a pool— it's her father's legacy. "Walter P. Carter was my father. Walter P. Carter was a man, a living, breathing man who stood for uncompromising principles and integrity," said Jill Carter, Walter P. Carter's daughter and former District 41 State Senator. Carter's father is the reason she spent her Saturday morning celebrating the grand opening of the brand-new pool. "His last words on Earth— public words– were I will commit the rest of my life to making this city a fit place where our kids can live, and this is a testament to that. This is a legacy of that. This is a place where our children can come," Carter explained. Community members, Mayor Brandon Scott, and Baltimore City Recreation & Parks jumped in to help mark the occasion while emphasizing the importance of having a safe place to swim. "We want them to come and have fun in a safe way. Never swim when there isn't a lifeguard. Make sure your parents sign you up for Rec Pro so you can get into the pool," said Mayor Scott. New Baltimore City pool renovations The Walter P. Carter pool is part of the City's "Rec Rollout" initiative. It's one of three redesigned facilities opening this summer. "It is right there in their neighborhood for them to go to, to swim with their friend, and swim with their neighbors, and enjoy their pool," said Karen Jordan, the Deputy Director for Baltimore City Recreation & Parks. For years, Rec and Parks has been prioritizing renovations and repairs to address the aging infrastructure of city pools. Throughout 2024, the city made upgrades to multiple community pools. Patterson Park Pool reopened in May 2024 after being closed the previous summer for extensive renovations. The closure angered community members due to the sweltering heat in August 2023. The pool now features a brand-new mechanical system, piping, plumbing, drains, and a pool liner. Neighborhood pools, like at Walter P. Carter, will operate Monday through Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. "If you want to exercise, we have lap lanes. If you just want to come and get wet and enjoy yourself, we have that as well. But we also have furniture and other amenities so that you can come and just enjoy yourself at our pools," Moore told WJZ. Park pools will expand their schedule starting June 17, operating Monday through Thursday from noon to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Weekend hours remain 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
