Social media reactions to Steelers DT Cam Heyward's contract dispute
The contract stalemate between the PIttsburgh Steelers and defensive tackle Cam Heyward extended completely through training camp and is threatening to spill over into the regular season. To summarize, Heyward signed a contract extension last offseason, didn't think it was good enough and after a big 2024 season wants a big raise. Meanwhile, the Steelers seem content with not paying Heyward and see if he blinks or sits out games despite having already been paid $13 million this season. In going over social media, it seems the Steelers fanbase isn't as unified in Heyward's cause as they were for edge defender T.J. Watt. Here are some reactions from social media. The sticking points for fans with Heyward is about his comments he made prior to Aaron Rodgers signing with the Steelers in comparison to his comments about his own contract situation. Many fans also note how much money Heyward has made in his career and feel no sympathy for his plight, demanding even more millions.

‘Am I crazy to think my partner secretly wants to get back with his wife?'
Question I have been in a relationship with a man for the past seven years and I feel that we are in constant stalemate. He was previously married, for 15 years, and has three children by his first wife. I don't know why I am saying 'first' wife as they have not divorced and I am beginning to lose hope. She cheated on him, and her lover moved into the family home for a long time, but that too broke up and she is now on her own with the teenage kids. My partner does not bring me to any of the kids' events and, at first, I was relieved not to have anything to do with them, but now it feels like I am not important enough in his life. He goes to all the school meetings and to the sports events, and I know that he is meeting her there. Am I crazy to think he secretly wants to get back with this wife? READ MORE I have met some of his family, but I'm not close with any of them and I think they disapprove of the age difference between us – I am almost 10 years younger than him. I have invested some of the best years of my life with this man, and I've given up on having children of my own because he said he did not want any more. I want to be central to his life but every time I bring it up, he fobs me off. My friends mostly live abroad and none of them are in stable relationships, so they are not that supportive and tell me to leave him. I love him and really want to grow old with him so feel that I have no option but to hope that he'll see sense and ask me to marry him. Answer Seven years is a long time to be in an undefined relationship, and from what you say there is no sign that the situation is going to change. Particularly disturbing is your lack of involvement in your partner's children's lives, as this shows how compartmentalised he has made his life. You say that you love him, and this is no doubt the main reason you have stayed in such an uncomfortable situation for so long; however, the effect on you of being somewhat sidelined is intense and negative. What we expect from our primary relationships is to feel secure in the knowledge of our importance – that is, that we are number one in the list of priorities in our loved one's life. You do not have this but neither do you have another crucial factor: kindness. Your partner is not being kind to you by partitioning you off into a section of his life, and presumably you have asked to be more central and for your position to be made official. [ 'I've been blind to the fact that my partner is actually married to his mother' Opens in new window ] In order to make an informed decision, we need two things, information and experience, and after seven years you have ample amounts of both. Putting off making a decision for another few years is unlikely to improve the outcome, so now is the time to muster your courage and face the reality of this relationship. You have outlined all the information that you need, and your experience has told you that the habit of so many years is set and its effect on you is soul destroying. When we are not listened to for a period of time, our confidence suffers, and you have not been heard or been validated for years, so the assumption is that your self-worth has taken a huge hit. This can result in a struggle to believe enough in yourself to act with decisiveness or faith that you can do better, and so lethargy sets in. You need to invest in your own self-worth and confidence – perhaps take some time to visit those friends who are living successfully without partners, listen to their concerns for you and allow their care for you to sink in, as this may help to break the cycle of stasis in your relationship. Check if your work allows sabbaticals, or unpaid leave. If your partner reacts by inviting you back into the relationship, be clear that the only way back is divorce followed by marriage, as you have said that this is what you want. You will need support to maintain this stance, so make sure you have backup plans so you don't slide back into familiar territory. Any action you take will contribute to your self-confidence, and with time your sense of self will grow so that you are happy to make demands for yourself. Loving someone does not mean you are blind to their faults or that you have to sacrifice your life for theirs. Your life is the one that needs your energy, attention and devotion, so prioritise it now.

Inter Milan & Atalanta Stalemate Over Lookman Likely To Hold Until Next Week
The stalemate between Inter Milan and Atalanta in talks for Ademola Lookman is likely to continue to hold until the start of next week. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Libero, via FCInter1908. The explosive transfer saga with Atalanta and Ademola Lookman has come to define Inter's summer. Inter have made two offers for Lookman. And Atalanta have flatly rejected both of them. Lookman himself reacted furiously to his club's refusal to sell him to Inter. The Nigerian international very publicly demanded a transfer to Atalanta last weekend. This after Atalanta had rejected a second offer from the Nerazzurri. Then, Lookman took things a step further. The 27-year-old – who had already scrubbed all traces of Atalanta from his social media accounts – began no-showing training. Inter & Atalanta Stalemate Over Lookman Likely To Hold Until Next Week TURIN, ITALY – MARCH 09: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the Serie A match between Juventus and Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium on March 09, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Right now, Inter and Atalanta are taking a fairly patient and cagey approach. The Nerazzurri are waiting for a signal on the valuation for Lookman. Meanwhile, La Dea are waiting for another offer from Inter, or a bid from abroad. It is only Lookman himself who is really losing patience. However, Libero report, right now the stalemate is not going to end anytime soon. The newspaper anticipate that there is unlikely to be a decisive development before this week. On the contrary, Libero anticipate, the decisive next move may not come until the start of next week.

What's going on between the Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga?
The stalemate between the Warriors and Jonathan Kuminga continues, with the restricted free agent forward reportedly eager for a fresh start with the Kings — but Golden State brass is uninterested in the compensation Sacramento has offered for a player the Warriors clearly believe still has value … even if it's not to them. ESPN reported last week Kuminga and his representatives had declined Golden State's offers of a two-year, $45 million contract, due largely the Warriors structuring the deal with a team option for Year 2 and insisting — as Marc Stein has detailed — Kuminga waive the de facto no-trade clause he would receive as a player signing for one guaranteed season with a team that holds his Bird rights. That framework would grant the Warriors a significant amount of ongoing control over Kuminga's future; the 22-year-old does not want to grant Golden State that kind of control, given the frustrations he has communicated over what he sees as years of inconsistent opportunities and stunted growth under head coach Steve Kerr. At this point, Kuminga wants a clean slate and a new role elsewhere. Like, for example, a couple of hours north at Golden 1 Center, where the Kings would love to slot the 6-foot-8 forward into their starting lineup, according to Marc J. Spears of Andscape: The Kings are ready to pay Kuminga like a starter, too, according to Sam Amick of The Athletic — but the Warriors remain unmoved by the players-and-picks package Sacramento has offered to get Kuminga in-house: As for the Kings, who last spoke with the Warriors earlier this week, team sources say they've offered a three-year, $63 million deal for Kuminga in a proposal that would send veteran guard Malik Monk and their 2030 first-round pick (lottery protected) to the Warriors (that deal would require the Warriors to move more salary elsewhere to stay under the first apron, likely Moses Moody or Buddy Hield). If that pick didn't convey, then the Warriors would get the least favorable of the Kings' or San Antonio's first-round pick in 2031. Those protections have been the primary sticking point, team sources said, as the Warriors have insisted that the first-rounder be unprotected. Thus, the stalemate. Tim Kawakami of the San Francisco Standard also reports Golden State wouldn't be interested in folding Hield (who made more 3-pointers last season than any Warrior save Stephen Curry) or Moody (who made a career-high 34 starts and played a key two-way role after the Warriors' season-saving trade for Jimmy Butler) into a potential Kuminga deal. And if the Warriors aren't getting the kind of picks they want … or the kind of young players they want … or the kind of contract structure they want … then, well, the nature of restricted free agency means they don't have to do something they don't want.; More from Kawakami: The word I got when I checked in with a Warriors source on Sunday: Kuminga won't be traded this summer. He'll be back on the Warriors' roster to start the season. And it'll either come when he signs the Warriors' offer or accepts the $7.9 million one-year qualifying offer. Now, of course, we all can read some or most of this as Warriors positioning in lieu of making a final push for a more favorable sign-and-trade agreement. The Warriors have definitely had some discussions with other teams about Kuminga. And once you start having discussions, you can always finish one of them, no matter what your public stance happens to be at the time. But several sources have indicated that the Warriors have been unenthusiastic about the general idea of a Kuminga sign-and-trade from the outset. The broad context is that [Warriors owner] Joe Lacob remains a fan of Kuminga's and is determined to either keep the 22-year-old on the roster or get real value in return. And he's willing to wait it out. The Warriors' willingness to wait means Kuminga has to play the waiting game, too … and, as a result, play fewer actual games. Stein reports Kuminga's not expected to play for his native Congo in this summer's FIBA AfroBasket tournament, slated to tip off Aug. 12, as he looks to mitigate injury risk with his contract status still up in the air. We know, then, we won't see Kuminga on the floor before NBA teams reconvene for training camp this fall. Which camp he'll be reporting to, what kind of deal he'll be playing on, and how he feels about it all, though, very much remain to be determined.
