Headline Sports podcast Jessica Kwong:

#1 Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had surgery done on his left thumb to repair a ligament. Love is said to be ready for the season opener. Love tried to practice with the thumb Monday and work through the injury but it was decided that he needed the procedure.

#2 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rogers said he did not like the fit of his helmet during practice saying the Schutt Air XP Pro VTD II helmet looks like a space ship out in practice. Rogers said the face mask needs to be change because it’s an old facemask. Rogers words as you can imagine matter as he’s asking for a new helmet saying it doesn’t pass the safety standard.

#3 Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris ran drills for the first time in training camp. Harris had suffered a “superficial eye injury” during a July 4 fireworks mishap. The injury put Harris on the non football injury/inllness list. Harris’ agent said Doug Hendrickson said Harris should be back in time for the season.

#4 Former Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that leaked emails by the NFL forced him to resign as the Raiders head coach in 2021. Gruden said the league’s decision disrupted the 2021 season. Gruden said emails were leaked showed that he made racial slurs. What went wrong for Gruden who said the emails were leaked to the press before before Gruden had signed a letter of resignation. “The league’s actions disrupted the whole season,” Gruden said. “We were leading the division at the time, and they completely blindsided me.”

#5 New York Jets quarterback quarterback Tyrod Taylor is undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out for the rest of the pre season according to Jets head coach Aaron Glenn. The Jets could not say when Taylor will be back from his knee surgery and will he be ready to start against the Pittsburgh Steelers for week 1.

#1 The New York Jets Aaron Rogers still has it he threw four touchdown passes against the Miami Dolphins in a 32-20 on Sunday. Some had doubted Rogers ability to return but he turned it up a notch against a playoff bound team.

#2 After losing six straight games the Tennessee Titans have clinched for a shot at the No.1 NFL draft pick a quarterback. The Titans benched their starter Will Levis and can choose either one of the top college quarterbacks Colorado Buffaloes Shedeur Sanders or Miami’s Cam Ward that they can acquire in a draft or a trade.

#3 The New York Giants win last week over the Indianapolis Colts 45-33 on Sun Dec 29th cost the Giants a shot at the No.1 draft pick. With the win the Giants moved into third place at a shot for the top pick. The Giants could try and trade for Rogers if Rogers wants to stay in the number media market and play for the Giants who struggled all season.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders after losing ten straight games and won two straight lost their chance at the No.1 draft pick slipping to six place in the top sweepstakes lottery. The Raiders are looking for a quarterback Minority owner and Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady who has a great relationship with Rogers might try and entice Rogers to consider coming to Vegas and continue his career there.

#5 The Indianapolis Colts who drafted quarterback Anthony Richardson as their overall fourth pick in 2023 has not been the kind of quarterback that they expected. The Colts have not been in the post season since 2020. They also fell short in 2021 when they went 9-8 with quarterback Carson Wentz and were no better in 2022 going 4-12-1 with quarterback Matt Ryan . The Colts are hoping that Rogers will consider coming to Indianapolis and help Richardson with some tips to help improve for the 2025 season.

#5 With Adams joining the Jets there is no doubt the re-union between Adams and quarterback Aaron Rogers is something that the Jets and Rogers are looking forward to.

On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 The San Francisco 49ers took care of business with a convincing win over Aaron Rogers and the New York Jets. It seems like every player at every position for the 49ers successfully did their job in getting the 32-19 win.

#2 The Las Vegas Raiders lost on what critics say on a decision by Raider head coach Antonio Pierce deciding to punt rather than go for it on fourth and one with just over seven seconds left in the game. Pierce reasoned the defense would their job get the ball to the offense and score which didn’t happen Sunday afternoon.

#3 Turning to baseball, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes had himself a Monday night striking out nine batters over six innings and has a strike out total of 151 which is a franchise record. Skenes 10-2 allowed six hits in the 3-2 win over the Marlins and lowered his ERA to 2.10.

#4 You gotta talk about the near catch that turned out to be a home run when Philadelphia Phillies centerfielder Johan Rojas had the ball in the glove but the ball was jarred loose when Rojas’ arm made contact with the top of the padded fence and went over the fence for a home run.

#5 Los Angeles Dodgers Shohei Ohtani just might swipe 50 bases for the season yet. Ohtani closed in on 50 stealing his 47th base against the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Ohtani was the lead off hitter in the contest who also scored twice and got two hits.

On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 What has happened on the Pittsburgh Steelers after the Steelers have won four straight games they have dropped their last two games and frustrations are starting to heat up after last Sunday’s 13-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns were no different. The Steelers Dionte Johnson and Minkah Fitzpatrick nearly got into a fight in the dressing room after the game but teammates Cameron Heyward and TJ Watt broke it up. Head coach Mike Tomlin had a team meeting afterwards and emphasized that they had to work as a team and move on.

#2 Despite getting clobbered by the Miami Dolphins on Friday Night Football 34-13 the New York Jets are staying with starting quarterback Tim Boyle. The Jets starting quarterback Aaron Rogers is back fulltime with the team trying to recover from his Achilles tendon injury. Rogers is expected back in the coming weeks but for now Boyle is the starting quarterback for New York.

#3 It was also announced that Rogers would be under center for the Jets when the Jets come calling in Green Bay in the 2014 season. Rogers was the former longtime quarterback for the Packers. A Rogers return would be a moment that Green Bay fans would be anticipating on as well as the television networks.

#4 Charlie, when you watch Dolphins linebacker Jaelin Phillips come off the line to run a play against the Jets you could see the back of his right thigh pop and he fell to the ground and had to be carted off the field. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that Phillips will be lost for the rest of the season. Running back Raheem Mostert said that the turf field at MetLife Field is trash and they need to get it replaced with real grass.

#5 The Raiders who are in a two game losing skid and took a tough loss against the Dolphins 20-13 in they’re last game are hoping to spring back but they got some bad defensive news as Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby is doubtful because of a knee injury. If Crosby is out of the line up it’s just one less defensive weapon the Raiders would have had to put pressure on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes this Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.

On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica:

#1 Jessica, we lead off the program with the New York Jets and their acquisition of quarterback Aaron Rogers. Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that getting Rogers was historic for the franchise but critics are questioning at what price the Jets had to fork up a 2023 second round pick, 2024 conditional second rounder that will increase to a first rounder if Rogers participates in 65% of the regular season. Is it worth it Douglas seems to think so.

#2 The Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds got a rich eight year deal worth $106.5 million. The deal for Reynolds is the richest in Pirates history. Before signing Reynolds the Bucs were one of four big league franchises who had not signed a player for $100 million and over. The Kansas City Royals, Oakland A’s and Chicago White Sox remain the only teams who have not signed a $100 million player.

#3 New York Mets star pitcher Justin Verlander is reportedly on target to return May 3rd. Verlander has been injured since spring training and will make a rehab start this coming Friday. Verlander is recovering from a low-grade teres major strain. Verlander said it’s been frustrating but was told that his time will come and he’s just a week away.

#4 Jessica, it seems that Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout memorabilia especially from his rookie year is through the roof his 2009 Red Refractor card sold for $1 million. Turns out a Mike Trout signed little league ball went to auction and sold for $15,600. Trout’s uncle Kevin had the ball for two decades. Trout signed the ball when he was 12 years old. Uncle Kevin says if your kid is in Little League and makes it big in the big leagues get him to sign the ball now.

#5 New York Rangers head coach Gerard Gallant says the Rangers simply didn’t show up during Monday’s game on home ice at Madison Square Garden losing to the New Jersey Devils 3-1 and now tied with New Jersey at 2-2 in the series. Gerard referenced the offense scored only one goal through three period and it was the third and last period when they got on the scoreboard. On defense the Devils scored twice in the third period on Devils goaltender Akira Schmid who faced 23 shots.
