NFL fans spot concerning detail in Aaron Rodgers' Steelers team photo
Aaron Rodgers pulled on a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey for the first time this week - but fans were quick to spot one bizarre detail in his profile photo for the team.
The legendary quarterback signed with Pittsburgh last week to finally bring his NFL limbo to an end three months after he was released by the New York Jets.
After he put pen to paper on his one-year Steelers contract, which is worth $13.65million, Rodgers was seen going through the gears with his new teammates in mandatory minicamp as he looks towards his 21st season as a professional.
He also posed in the team's famous black-and-gold jersey as he capture his official team portrait, which the Steelers shared on social media.
However, NFL fans quickly noticed something very unusual about Rodgers' left eye in the snap.
'Bro why is one eye drifting off to the side,' one user questioned.

Another asked: 'what's wrong with his eye?'
'That one eye look like it's been knocked loose a few times,' said a third.
While one simply put: 'This is odd'.
Back in 2016, Rodgers admitted he once lost vision in his left eye after suffering a concussion early on in his Green Bay Packers career.
'I had a bizarre metallic - one eye went metallic,' he said in an interview on Bill Simmons' show Any Given Wednesday. 'I could only see out of my right eye.
'I got hit. We were playing Washington. I got hit by like three guys on a blitz. London Fletcher came around and he was one of three guys that kind of hit me. Side of the head... Yeah.
'It went out, it was just metallic. It was like a silver metallic in the left side.'
It is unclear if that concussion had any lasting effect on Rodgers' left eye and caused the unusual detail fans spotted in his Steelers photo.
At his Pittsburgh unveiling, Rodgers stunned the world when he made the bombshell announcement that he secretly got married earlier this year.
The four-time MVP was speaking to reporters when he made the big reveal, following weeks of speculation.

Shane Baz helps Rays complete sweep of Mets
June 15 - Shane Baz pitched 6 2/3 effective innings and Jonathan Aranda hit a two-run double in the fifth inning after scoring the first run in a three-run second inning as the visiting Tampa Bay Rays continued their surge with a 9-0 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday afternoon. Baz (6-3) held the Mets to three hits during his second-longest start of the season and New York's top four hitters of Francisco Lindor, Brandon Nimmo, Juan Soto and Pete Alonso were a combined 1-of-9 against him. Baz threw a career-high 106 pitches, won his third straight decision and the Rays won with him on the mound for the fifth straight time. Baz struck out six and issued two of his four walks to Soto. Baz's biggest strikeout occurred when he got Alonso on a foul tip with the bases loaded to end the fourth and protect a 4-0 lead. After getting three hits in the opener on Friday, Aranda helped the Rays become the first team to sweep the Mets this season. Aranda opened the second by drawing a walk and scored the first run when Kameron Misner grounded out. Danny Jansen added an RBI single in the second when New York's Griffin Canning threw 33 pitches. Misner scored on a wild pitch to the backstop and Junior Caminero scored on a grounder in the fourth when Jake Magnum beat out a double play. The Rays knocked Canning out when Caminero walked with one out in the fifth, putting runners at second and third. Aranda followed by lining a 1-1 fastball from reliever Max Kranick down the right field line for a 6-0 lead. Caminero capped Tampa Bay's big day with a three-run homer in the ninth after also homering in Saturday's 8-4 win. The Rays won for the 18th time in 24 games, scored 24 runs in the series and drew a season-best nine walks. Canning (6-3) allowed six runs on four hits in 4 1/3 innings. The right-hander struck out two and issued five of New York's season-high nine walks. The Mets lost three straight for the second time this season and were shutout for the fourth time this season. --Field Level Media

George Russell hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri ‘keep throwing away points'
George Russell said he hopes Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri will continue to throw away points to propel him into this season's world championship fight. Russell won from pole position at the Canadian Grand Prix to claim his first triumph of the year and just the fourth of his career. The British driver has been one of the grid's standout performers this season, and his win in Montreal takes him to 62 points behind championship leader Piastri. Russell is 40 points behind Norris after he failed to score following a collision with McLaren team-mate Piastri. Runner-up Max Verstappen is 43 points off the championship pace. 'I don't know how both Max and I are so close to those two (Norris and Piastri) in the championship because McLaren clearly have the dominant car,' said Russell. 'I cannot imagine they will keep throwing away points in the manner that they are doing but of course we hope that continues to be the case. 'I don't foresee us getting in the championship fight through pure pace as Lando did last year. We will only be there if things like today continue to happen.' As it stands, Russell is out of contract at the end of the season with Mercedes boss Toto Wolff having previously stated he has explored Verstappen's availability. But when asked if his performance here will help him get his next deal with Mercedes over the line, Russell, 27, continued: 'It doesn't hurt at all. 'I am not concerned about next year. I know I am going to be on the grid. I feel I am driving better than ever. I have got more in the tank and I am ready to fight for a world championship. 'I am not talking with anybody else, and any teams that have shown interest I have been quite open to them to say to them that my intention is to stay with Mercedes. 'That has always been clear. I am loyal to Mercedes. They gave me this chance to get into Formula One. And there hasn't been any hard feelings with any of the talks going round, especially around Max because why wouldn't teams be interested in Max? 'If every driver did not have a contract for next year, Max would be the number one of every single team and that is understandable. 'But here are two seats for every race team and I knew if I would continue to perform as I am doing I would not be under threat. I am in a good place and there is in no rush to do contract negotiations.'

Astros rally in ninth, sweep Twins with walk-off in tenth
June 15 - Mauricio Dubon hit a walk-off single to left field with two outs in the 10th inning, and the Houston Astros completed a three-game series sweep of the Minnesota Twins with a 2-1 win on Sunday. Dubon drove home Jake Meyers with a high fly ball off Twins reliever Cole Sands (3-3) that left fielder Willi Castro failed to catch at the wall. Meyers opened the bottom of the 10th placed at second base, but had not moved up after a ground out and a strike out. The Astros rallied against Twins closer Jhoan Duran for a second consecutive game, pulling even in the ninth when Victor Caratini hit a sacrifice fly to left that scored Jeremy Pena, who walked to lead off the frame. With one out, Pena stole second base and advanced to third on a Jose Altuve infield single. Josh Hader (4-0) earned the win for Houston with a perfect 10th. The Astros completed a six-game homestand at 5-1. Brooks Lee extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a solo home run for a 1-0 lead in the top of the third. Lee finished 3-for-4 and homered for a second consecutive game. He owns the longest hit streak by a Twin since Carlos Correa produced a 16-game hitting streak last season. Lee, who belted his career-best seventh homer 374 feet to left, represented the lone blemish for Astros left-hander Brandon Walter, who excelled while making his third spot start for Houston. Walter retired the Twins in order in the second, fourth, and sixth innings and worked a career-best 6 2/3 innings. He worked around a two-out single from Castro in the first and stranded Correa and Castro by getting Ty France to fly out to right field in the third. Castro, who finished 3-for-4, struck out with Lee and Ryan Jeffers in scoring position to end the fifth. Walter sandwiched strikeouts of Harrison Bader and Christian Vazquez around a Lee single before departing in the seventh. He allowed six hits and did not walk a batter while recording a career-high nine strikeouts. Twins right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson logged five shutout innings. He needed only 26 pitches to complete one trip through the Houston order and retired the top of the Astros' lineup in order in the bottom of the fourth. Woods Richardson didn't throw more than 11 pitches in any frame before he surrendered an infield single to Meyers with one out in the fifth. Cam Smith followed with a 10-pitch walk to nudge Meyers into scoring position, but Woods Richardson rallied to escape that inning unscathed. He threw just 53 pitches. --Field Level Media
