Steelers training camp fight breaks out after massive hit on rookie RB Kaleb Johnson
Esezi Otomewo decked Kaleb Johnson on a run. Team is only in spiders and the OL especially took swung at him. Lots of jawing back and forth. Steelers tempers were high at training camp, as fists flew between the offensive and defensive lines. According to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, DT Esezi Otomewo delivered a huge hit following a run by rookie RB Kaleb Johnson during a team drill on Wednesday — despite players wearing lighter spider pads at practice. The offensive line didn't take the overaggressive behavior lying down, leading to a physical altercation over the massive hit — in which OT Troy Fautanu was spotted taking a swing at Otomewo. With the Steelers' preseason opener just around the corner and nearly 30 days until the Week 1 regular-season matchup against the Jets, it's no wonder the offensive line took exception to the hit — especially as injuries continue to pile up at training camp, including rookie QB Will Howard's preseason-ending hand fracture. Hopefully these fiery altercations result in a better game-day performance — which fans will get a first glimpse of when the Steelers face off against the Jaguars in the preseason opener on August 9 at 7:00 PM EST.

Hulk Hogan's Wife Sky Daily Denied He Was in a Coma Days Before His Death at 71
Sky Daily shut down rumors that her husband, Hulk Hogan, was in a coma and near death just days before the professional wrestler died on Thursday, July 24. Daily reportedly responded to a fan question about Hogan's health via her Instagram Story on Friday, July 18, denying there was any validity to the claims. 'No, he's definitely not in a coma!' she wrote at the time, according to PennLive. 'His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage. None of those rumors are true.' Daily, who married Hogan in September 2023, explained that her spouse had been dealing with a few health issues recently. Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan Marries Fiancee Sky Daily 2 Months After Engagement 'He's been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusin (ACDF), which is an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process,' she explained in the since-expired Instagram Story. 'If you look it up, you'll see what the last six weeks have involved … not just for his spine, but also for his vocal cords, and the eating/breathing tubes that are clamped over during surgery.' Daily noted, 'We've been in and out of the hospital to support that recovery.' (Us Weekly previously confirmed in June that Hogan was recovering from a 'pretty serious heart surgery' and was 'doing well afterward,' according to a source.) Brooke Hogan Explains Why She Didn't Attend Dad Hulk Hogan's Wedding to Sky Daily She insisted on Friday, 'So truly, there's no need for the drama or panic some people try to stir up. He's healing and we're taking it one day at a time with love, strength, and patience.' Less than one week later, Us confirmed that Hogan died on Thursday at the age of 71. The Hogan Knows Best alum suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, according to the Clearwater Police Department. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Hogan (real name Terry Gene Bollea) made his professional wrestling debut in August 1977 where he earned his 'Hulk' nickname after noticing during a talk show with Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno that he was taller than the actor and bodybuilder. Hogan soon became a household name after becoming a big star on WWE. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 and in 2020, the second time as a member of the New World Order wrestling group. He retired from the sport in 2012. Meet Hulk Hogan's Family: Details on His Multiple Wives, Kids and Public Estrangement On a personal note, Hogan found love several times before his untimely death. Hulk married first wife Linda Hogan in 1983. The pair welcomed daughter Brooke Hogan and son Nick Hogan in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Hulk and Linda, 65, announced their split in 2007 after more than 20 years of marriage. They finalized their divorce in 2009. He was then married to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021 before finding The One in Daily. Hulk proposed to Daily in July 2023, and they tied the knot that September.

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' first pass intercepted by Pro Bowl defender at training camp
New Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers' first pass of the team period didn't go as planned — it was intercepted by two-time Pro Bowl LB Patrick Queen. According to PennLive's Nick Farabaugh, Rodgers attempted a pass to star WR DK Metcalf but was picked off by Queen — leading to a loud reaction from the defense and Steelers fans alike. This speaks to the success of the re-tooled Steelers defense, as Rodgers doesn't typically throw many interceptions — having topped 10 in a season just four times in his 20-year career. Still, it's far from an ideal way to kick off training camp — and you know the defense is letting him hear it. Here's to hoping this isn't a sign of things to come — and he's simply feeling the first-camp jitters after making the historic walk down to practice at Saint Vincent College.

He Walked Into an Amish Home and Killed a Pregnant Woman with Her Children Feet Away — But What Brought Him There?
Shawn Christopher Cranston, 52, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing 23-year-old pregnant Amish woman Rebekah Byler and second-degree murder for killing her unborn child Investigators linked Cranston to the crime through a shoe print and his belongings found at the scene, including Nike sneakers and guns Cranston, who had previously provided rides for a nearby family, had allegedly exhibited strange behavior, including wandering the property in black clothing with a pistolA truck driver was convicted of shooting a pregnant Amish woman to death inside of her rural northwestern Pennsylvania home while her kids were in the next room over. Shawn Christopher Cranston, 52, was convicted of first-degree murder for killing Rebekah Byler, 23, and second-degree murder for killing her unborn child, the AP reported. 'It is hard to fathom conduct more heinous than brutally killing a young expectant mother and her unborn child in her home,' Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said to the outlet. 'Our homes are supposed to be our safe haven — this defendant violated the sanctity of home to commit these truly evil acts.' On the morning of Feb. 26, 2024, Rebekah was at her home while her husband was being driven to work, the AP reported, citing authorities. When her husband, Andy Byler, returned home from work, he found her dead. 'I didn't really believe it,' Andy said at a preliminary hearing for Cranston, the outlet reported. 'I walked in and saw her cap laying inside the door.' Rebekah and Andy's two other children, a 2-year-old girl and a 3-year-old boy, were at home when she was killed but the children were left unharmed, PennLive reported, citing court records. The boy later reportedly told police that a man in a green truck entered their home with sneakers and killed his mom. Investigators later found a shoe print inside their home resembling a Nike Air Force One sneaker and later found the shoes in the family's home, the outlet reported, citing police. Police also found some of Cranston's clothing, five bank bags, a box of gloves and seven guns with was a driver for an Amish man who lived a mile away from Rebekah's home, PennLive reported, citing court documents. Court records said the family had 'very odd experiences' with Cranston, saying that after he provided the first ride, he would randomly show up at the family's home. Amish people rely on drivers outside of the community since they do not drive vehicles. They also do not traditionally wear sneakers, according to their community rules. In one instance, Cranston allegedly drove a Jeep to the Byler's home, parked it in their driveway and wandered around the property wearing black clothing head to toe, PennLive reported. He allegedly had a black pistol in a holster on his belt and walked aimlessly, not making any sense when he interacted with neighbors. Neighbors have told police that he is a member of the War Dogs motorcycle club, where he serves as sergeant at arms, the outlet reported. Police are still not entirely sure what Cranston's motive was for killing Rebekah, local outlets reported. They're continuing to analyze his Jeep for evidence. Cranston is scheduled to be sentenced in July. Read the original article on People
