You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The NFL is staying quiet on a developing story out of Pittsburgh — the league declining to comment on whether the Steelers failed to properly disclose Aaron Rodgers' illness ahead of their playoff loss. That's a transparency question with real consequences, and it's not going away quietly.
Speaking of Rodgers, Dr. Anthony Fauci's attorney is firing back at the quarterback, telling him flat out he should stick to football after Rodgers made public comments targeting the former public health official. It's a sharp response, and it puts Rodgers back in a spotlight he's clearly comfortable with — just not always for the right reasons.
Shifting to baseball, the New York Mets snapped a three-game skid in Cleveland in convincing fashion. Luis Torrens was the story, going three for four with a three-run homer in the second inning and four RBIs on the night. Bo Bichette and rookie Carson Benge also went deep — Benge's blast measuring out at four hundred fifty one feet to center. The Mets had dropped six straight against the Guardians before Tuesday night changed the narrative entirely.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
