It started out as a joke, of sorts. Rams linebacker Jared Verse found out that former Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald was dead serious. The duo worked out at Donald’s house in June. On Thursday, Verse was asked about the experience. Here’s his version, from the transcript distributed by the Rams. “I’ll tell you exactly what we did,” Verse said. …

In any given year, roughly a dozen teams are in the Super Bowl window. Earlier this month, we took a stab at identifying this year’s team. Our list didn’t include the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers’s list does. “I think that there’s really only six to eight that really have a legitimate chance,” Rodgers told reporters on Thursday. “Sometimes it’s 10 to …

LATROBE, Pa. — It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood in the hometown of Fred Rogers, American TV icon, as the Pittsburgh Steelers opened camp amid rolling hills and old brick buildings and towering steeples that rose toward the sky. Only on this summer afternoon, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood officially became Mister Rodgers’ Neighborhood. Aaron Rodgers came bouncing down one …

Go hug a Jets fan. They need it. Thursday morning was another one of those days for those who bleed green. You could feel it this week; Jets fans were just starting to believe again. The good vibes were flowing. New coach Aaron Glenn has brought a different energy to the team. Stars Garrett Wilson and Sauce Gardner had freshly …

In the first throw of his first team period at his first Steelers training-camp practice, quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw an interception. At his first training-camp press conference at St. Vincent’s College in Latrobe, Rodgers brushed it off. “I’m gonna throw some picks,” he told reporters, “but I’m gonna throw some touchdowns, too.” He laughed when first asked about the miscue. …

Former NFL star J.J. Watt cautioned against reporters and fans taking too much stock in training camp stats on Thursday morning. That is wise advice for those checking in on Aaron Rodgers’s first training camp practice with the Steelers. Rodgers made his long-anticipated Pittsburgh training camp debut Thursday afternoon, making a dramatic march down the hill to the practice field …

Ten years ago (yes, it’s been ten years), breathless reports tracked then-Titans rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota, who went umpteen practices in a row without throwing an interception. At that time, then-Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said, essentially, that practice is the time to throw interceptions. In his first pass of his first team period of his first training camp with the …

Apparently going through customs strips the Yankees of their defensive capabilities. Yankees manager Aaron Boone curiously called his team a “very good defensive club” after committing four errors in an 8-4 loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday that made his team look anything but, and attributed his squad’s recent Benny Hill tribute while playing north of the border to …

TORONTO — On a night when his club fell apart defensively, Aaron Boone found an outlet for his frustration: home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez. Boone was upset early on about a high called third strike to Oswald Peraza that Gonzalez later owned up to missing. But then in the seventh inning of the Yankees’ sloppy 8-4 loss to the Blue …

Although it appeared for months that Aaron Rodgers was going to join the Steelers, the quarterback didn’t actually sign a contract with the team until June 10. The Steelers, even as they publicly insisted they were comfortable with Mason Rudolph, never doubted Rodgers would be their starter this season. “I probably was pretty comfortable well before you guys,” coach Mike …
