On Nov. 25, 2024, consumed by a gambling addiction and soon to be evicted from his home, Ray Mikesell took his own life.
Two weeks later, DraftKings sent him a text about becoming a VIP.
“It’s a vicious thing going on right now,” his father said. post-gazette.com/sports/2026…

"I have to go here."
Read about Andrew Destin's nothing short of stellar journey from The Daily Collegian to The Athletic.

Back for his second stint with the Steelers and reunited with Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy, Marquez Valdes-Scantling is ready to “plug and play” — maybe as soon as Sunday in Paris.
“I know Aaron was excited to get him back.” post-gazette.com/sports/stee…
“Hey, we got a game on Sunday.”
The Steelers largely eschewed any concern about the ongoing protests in France, but the situation remains a “continuing conversation” ahead of the Paris game:post-gazette.com/sports/stee…
Practice battles with Carnell Tate at IMG.

ICYMI, a story on Steelers rookie CB Daylen Everette and the ambition and competitive drive that has teammates talking about his "bright future" ⬇️
“If you have 22 Daylens - and everybody plays with an attitude like that - you can win a championship.”
Steelers rookie Daylen Everette was thrown into the fire earlier than expected. Those who have been around him for years know he’s been there before: post-gazette.com/sports/stee…

After a decorated 24-year run at ESPN, Nicole Noren resigned in protest.
She couldn’t go along with the network’s all-out embrace of gambling.
For the first time publicly, in @CJR, Noren shares the deeply personal reasons behind her decision.

Western Pa. is sending far fewer players to the NFL than it did a decade ago. Why?
Interesting story here from @BREAL412, @MattPress23 and @mwhiteburgh 👇 post-gazette.com/sports/high…
In 2012, Western Pa. boasted 31 players in the NFL.
Now, for the second season in a row, there were 11 on Week 1 active rosters.
“It’s definitely surprising.”
@BREAL412 and I talked to WPIAL coaches, retired local NFL players and more to find out why: post-gazette.com/sports/high…

Mike Ditka in Kicking and Screaming will always be one of my favorite movie cameos. He was the best part of the movie. RIP to a legend.

On Saturday, Pitt will bring back members of its 1976 national championship to celebrate the “magical” season’s 50th anniversary.

So many memories.
“Superhuman” Tony Dorsett, whom Notre Dame tried (and failed) to slow down on their long grass.
The Sugar Bowl, where “rabid” UGA fans chanted “Dog meat!” all around NOLA before Pitt’s 27-3 win.
And so many more, “forever imprinted.” post-gazette.com/sports/pitt…
More from last night: Filling in for Mason Heintschel against VT, backup QB Holden Geriner felt like he was “playing free.”
He said he feels ready to lead, regardless of how long it lasts.post-gazette.com/sports/pitt…
“They believed all the way until the end. Faith and belief, that’s what this football team’s got. They’ve got a lot of guts.”
