Mike Tomlin addresses timeline around Steelers’ ongoing Aaron Rodgers pursuit
NY Post
The Steelers don’t appear to be in too big of a rush when it comes to Aaron Rodgers.
While Pittsburgh doesn’t have their quarterback situation sorted out, presumably waiting for Rodgers to decide on what he wants to do, the Steelers aren’t rushing the future Hall of Famer to make a decision.
Rodgers has been linked to the Steelers and the speculation only grew stronger after the Giants signed Russell Wilson to a contract last week and the ex-Jet visited Pittsburgh’s facilities on March 21.
But when Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin met with reporters on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida, for the owners meetings, he had little news on what would come next.
“It’s been reported that he spent a day with us and it was a really good day,” Tomlin said, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette.
The Steelers coach was limited in what he was willing to share on Sunday about the potential union with Rodgers, generally stating that the organization was still evaluating the quarterback position and possible fits for the role, ESPN reported.

Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.

PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
