David Bakhtiari shades Aaron Rodgers with Jordan Love wedding photo
Bakhtiari, who became close with Rodgers while protecting him for 10 seasons on the Packers offensive line, said he wasn't invited to the Steelers quarterback's recent wedding with his mystery bride.
'Love is love. Congrats to the Loves,' Bakhtiari wrote on X, including a clip of Love and Stone dancing at their wedding reception. 'Just happy at least one of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding.'
Bakhtiari, who included a bulging eyes emoji, added that same message on his Instagram Story.
The three-time Pro Bowler also responded to a tweet that said, 'So happy you and [wife] Frankie [Bakhtiari] were there, hope to see some pictures!! That other one probably had a 'commitment ceremony' to a ghost he saw in the dark,' and seemingly referred to Rodgers and his wife.

Bakhtiari replied with a few crying-laughing emojis.
It raised some eyebrows because Rodgers was close with Bakhtiari and his family off the field.
He also didn't get off to a hot start with Love when the Packers selected his then-eventual replacement in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

After the Packers traded Rodgers to the Jets in 2023, Bakhtiari said, 'The chapter is over on this one, but this friendship is a lifetime. You've been so instrumental in my life and I just wanna say thank you. And I love you brother.'
It's unclear if the former teammates had a falling out.
Last year, they were photographed together at the Kentucky Derby in Louisville with their former Packers teammates, Davante Adams, AJ Hawk and Jimmy Graham.

Rodgers has yet to publicly address Bakhtiari's comments.
Earlier this month, the former league MVP told reporters that he's been married 'a couple months' when asked about the black ring he had been wearing in the weeks prior.
During an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Tuesday, Rodgers explained that the person he married will remain private amid speculation about his wife's identity.

'My private life is my private life and it's going to stay that way, and I'm with somebody who wants to be private, and if and when she wants to be out and there's a picture, she'll choose that,' Rodgers said.
He first revealed he had a new girlfriend during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' last December.
Rodgers passed his physical Saturday and signed officially with the Steelers on a one-year deal that could be worth up to $19.5 million.

‘Get well, daddy': Here's why David Beckham was just seen in the hospital
On the mend. David Beckham fans may have been a tad concerned Friday when his wife Victoria posted a reel of him in a hospital bed. The ex-Spice Girl's caption: 'Get well, daddy, with no explanation. Turns out what landed him there wasn't that serious: Beckham underwent a procedure to fix an old injury. Surgeons had to remove a screw that had been placed in the retired soccer star's right arm after a fall that broke his wrist during a game between England and South Africa back in 2003, The Sun reports. The British outlet posted a clip of the painful run-in with Thabang Molefe four minutes into the second half. The screw was apparently intended to dissolve over time, but did not, causing the father of four considerable discomfort through the years. In a followup video, Victoria, 51, posted a video of her 50-year-old hubby tending to their garden at their Costwolds compound in the U.K., as per People magazine. 'Overperforming on the cucumber front, Sir David!!!' read the designer's text over screen, referring to the knight to be's impending title. The Inter Miami co-owner was well enough by Sunday to attend the FIFA Club World Cup game vs. his old team, Paris Saint-Germain, in Atlanta. On Instagram, Becks shared pics from the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium sporting a large bandage. 'It's fine. It's an old injury that needed surgery,' he said in an interview with a reporter before the match-up. 'It's all good.'

Packers' rookie Matthew Golden projected to be better WR than Davante Adams
The Green Bay Packers spoke volumes with their 2025 NFL Draft decisions — particularly with the selection of wide receiver Matthew Golden in the first round. Golden marked the first receiver the Packers took in the opening round since 2002, when they drafted Javon Walker. While Walker lasted just four seasons in Green Bay, the expectations for Golden are far greater. The hope is he'll surpass not only Walker but even Davante Adams, the last truly dominant receiver to wear green and gold. Advertisement AtoZ Sports' Wendell Ferreira took a deep dive into grading system from the last 12 draft classes. His findings showed just how highly the Packers view Golden — and how rare this moment is. 'He got a 6.42 grade, which equates to a player who will become a good starter within two years,' Ferreira wrote. 'The only other receiver in this category drafted by the Packers since 2014 is Davante Adams. A second-round pick in 2014, he took a little longer to develop into a great player, but eventually became an elite weapon. Adams had a 6.40 grade.' Adams, now entering his 12th NFL season with the Los Angeles Rams, blossomed into one of the league's most consistent pass-catchers. He narrowly missed 1,000 yards in Year 3, finishing with 997 and 12 touchdowns. From there, he stacked six 1,000-yard seasons playing with the Packers and the Raiders. That's exactly the kind of production the Packers are now banking on from Golden, drafted No. 23 overall. He's being tasked with becoming the WR1 the team has been chasing for years — and the pressure is already on. Advertisement Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp 'Golden's starting-level traits and big leap forward as a go-to playmaker have him primed to become a productive catch-maker with the potential to develop into a WR1 in the future,' scouting report said. Golden's arrival also aims to fix one of the Packers' biggest issues last year: drops. Green Bay's receivers were tied for the league lead with 25. With his elite traits and opportunity, all eyes are now on whether the rookie can live up to the hype.
