UPDATE: Over the weekend Attorney Robert G. Del Greco Jr. released a statement from his client David Sunseri. Sunseri is the retired Co-Owner of the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company who was facing a misdemeanor charge of terroristic threats after an alleged incident that happened at a building in Pittsburgh on September 15th, 2025 . Below is the statement:

Statement made by David Sunseri as submitted by me as his lawyer:

On September15, 2025, I went to Pennsylvania Macaroni and had an argument with my Brother.  The reason for the argument is private amongst family.  The firearm alleged to have been picked up  on the sidewalk was my cell phone that I dropped . I never possessed a firearm. Thank you.

David Sunseri

Sunseri allegedly banged on a window and yelled, telling someone inside to come outside so that he could fight him, later allegedly saying he would kill that person inside. A criminal complaint confirms that Sunseri tried to get in the building when he went to the back of the building but could not get into it. Then, Sunseri allegedly went back to the front of the building and continued to make threats and yell. According to the criminal complaint, the victim told police that Sunseri eventually went back to his car and, while getting into the vehicle, picked up a firearm that was lying on the sidewalk. Police gave the victim advice to get a protection from abuse order against Sunseri, who has a misdemeanor charge of terroristic threats against him.

Nexstar and Sinclair bring Jimmy Kimmel’s show back to local TV stations

(File Photo: Source for Photo: Jimmy Kimmel poses in the press room with the award for host for a game show for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” during night two of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. (Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group brought Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show back to their local TV stations on Friday night, ending a dayslong TV blackout for dozens of cities across the U.S.

The companies suspended the program on Sept. 17 over remarks the comedian made in the wake of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s killing. Disney-owned ABC suspended Kimmel the same day, following threats of potential repercussions from the Trump-appointed head of the Federal Communications Commission.

The companies’ dual moves Friday mean “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to local TV on Nexstar’s 28 ABC affiliates, from Topeka, Kansas, to New Orleans, along with Sinclair’s 38 local markets, from Seattle to Washington D.C.

Kimmel’s suspension lasted less than a week, while the affiliate blackout stood for just over a week.

When the boycott began, Sinclair, which is known for its conservative political content, called on Kimmel to apologize to Kirk’s family and asked him to “make a meaningful personal donation” to Turning Point USA, the nonprofit that Kirk founded.

When Kirk was killed, Kimmel called it a “senseless murder” and shared a message of support for his family and other victims of gun violence on social media, which he reiterated during his Tuesday return.

Kimmel’s original comments didn’t otherwise focus on Kirk. He instead lambasted President Donald Trump and his administration’s response to the killing. On his first show back, the comedian did not apologize, but did say “it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man” and acknowledged that to some, his comments “felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both.”

He also used a blend of humor and pointed messages to emphasize the importance of free speech.

Maryland-based Sinclair and Texas-based Nexstar continued to preempt the show for three days even after ABC and Disney returned it to national airwaves.

New episodes of the show air Monday through Thursday. Friday night’s rerun will be of Tuesday’s show — so the previously blacked-out stations will air Kimmel’s emotional return to the show. Viewers will have to wait until Monday to get the host’s take on the new developments.

In its statement Friday, Sinclair pointed to its “responsibility as local broadcasters to provide programming that serves the interests of our communities, while also honoring our obligations to air national network programming.”

The company added that it had received “thoughtful feedback from viewers, advertisers and community leaders,” and noticed “troubling acts of violence,” referencing the shooting into the lobby of a Sacramento station.

Sinclair said its proposals to Disney to strengthen accountability, feedback and dialogue and appoint an ombudsman had not yet been adopted.

In a similar statement Friday, Nexstar said it appreciated Disney’s approach to its concerns and that it “remains committed to protecting the First Amendment” while airing content that is “in the best interest of the communities we serve.”

Both companies said their decisions were not affected by influence from government or anyone else.

Disney representatives declined comment.

As a result of the boycott, viewers in cities representing roughly a quarter of ABC’s local TV affiliates had been left without the late-night program on local TV. The blackouts inflamed a nationwide uproar around First Amendment protections — particularly as the Trump administration and other conservatives police speech after Kirk’s killing. They also cast a spotlight on political influence in the media landscape, with critics lambasting companies that they accuse of censoring content.

Ahead of his suspension, Kimmel took aim at the president and his “MAGA gang” of supporters for their response to Kirk’s killing, which Kimmel said included “finger-pointing” and attempts to characterize the alleged shooter as “anything other than one of them.”

These remarks angered many supporters of Kirk — as well as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who accused Kimmel of appearing to “directly mislead the American public” with his remarks about the man accused of the killing. He warned that Disney and ABC’s local affiliates could face repercussions if the comedian was not punished.

Carr later applauded Sinclair and Nexstar, for their decisions to preempt the show.

Sinclair Vice Chairman Jason Smith on the day the blackout began called Kimmel’s comments “inappropriate and deeply insensitive,” and said that ABC’s suspension wasn’t enough, calling instead for “immediate regulatory action.”

While local TV affiliates broadcast their own programming, such as local news, they also contract with larger national broadcasters — and pay them to air their national content, splitting advertising revenue and fees from cable companies.

Matthew Dolgin, senior equity analyst at research firm Morningstar, said he wasn’t surprised by Kimmel’s return to the local stations.

“The relationship with Disney is far too important for these firms to risk,” Dolgin said. And setting aside legal rights from either side, he added, “Disney would’ve been free to take its affiliate agreements elsewhere in 2026 if these relationships were too difficult. That scenario would be devastating to Nexstar and Sinclair.”

Steelers backup quarterback Skylar Thompson robbed in Dublin, report says

DUBLIN (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers confirmed that backup quarterback Skylar Thompson was involved in a incident this weekend after a report that the player had been robbed.

The Irish Independent newspaper reported Sunday that Thompson was assaulted and robbed either Friday night or early Saturday in Dublin.

Irish public service broadcaster RTE reported that police, called Gardaí, “were aware of an incident involving a man in his 20s in the Dame Street area in the early hours of yesterday.”

The 28-year-old Thompson has been on injured reserve and wasn’t eligible to play Sunday in what is Ireland’s first regular-season NFL game. The Steelers beat the Minnesota Vikings 24-21, and Thompson was at the game.

“We are aware of a situation involving Skylar Thompson on Friday night in Dublin. We will have no further comment at this time as we are working with NFL security to gather more information regarding the incident,” Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten said.

Gardaí did not immediately respond to a request to comment by The Associated Press.

The Independent reported that Thompson was briefly treated at a local hospital for minor injuries.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin did not mention Thomson’s status at his postgame news conference.

Linebacker T.J. Watt was asked about it and responded: “I don’t have enough to comment on that.”

The NFL Players Association said it was “relieved to know that he is okay.”

“The NFLPA is actively gathering more information and working to understand the full circumstances surrounding what took place,” it said in a statement. “As always, our priority is the health and safety of our player members — especially as we continue to work on the player protections and well-being while playing international games — and we will continue to support Skylar in any way he needs.”

The NFL declined to comment.

Steelers hold on for 24-21 win over Vikings in NFL’s first regular-season game in Ireland

DUBLIN (AP) — Even though he’s relatively new to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers fully understands the Rooney family’s connections to the Emerald Isle.

They didn’t want to disappoint Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland’s first regular-season NFL game.

Kenneth Gainwell did his part by running for 99 yards and two touchdowns in the 24-21 victory at Croke Park, and Rodgers connected with DK Metcalf on an 80-yard touchdown.

And the Steelers held on to improve to 3-1 going into their bye week.

“There were a lot of us that wanted to win a little bit more for the family, knowing how much affection they have for this area,” Rodgers said.

The Steelers’ victory gave quarterback Rodgers his first international win and capped a Rooney family homecoming in front of a decidedly pro-Steelers crowd of 74,512.

Rodgers was 18 for 22 for 200 yards and the touchdown to Metcalf, who had five catches for 126 yards.

“We made it a little bit more entertaining than maybe it should have been, but the Vikings had a lot to do with that,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.

Carson Wentz, making his second consecutive start for the injured J.J. McCarthy, was 30 for 46 for 350 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions for the Vikings (2-2).

T.J. Watt’s interception of Wentz’s pass — tipped by Cam Heyward at the line of scrimmage — set up the Steelers on the Minnesota 35 in the third quarter, and Gainwell scored from 4 yards for a 21-6 lead. It was nearly identical to Gainwell’s 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

DeShon Elliott had the other interception and the Steelers sacked Wentz six times.

“I think this is the first game we really stopped the run to an extent, and then that led us to really teeing off on the pass rush,” defensive lineman Cam Heyward said. “There was always someone in his face, and he was uncomfortable.”

Rodgers found Metcalf on a crossing route and the wide receiver zoomed by safety Theo Jackson and into the end zone for a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter.

Minnesota’s Isaiah Rodgers blocked Chris Boswell’s 30-yard field-goal attempt with 1:42 left in the half to keep the score 14-3. Last week, Rodgers scored two defensive touchdowns and forced three turnovers in a 48-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Vikings’ subsequent drive stalled in the red zone and they settled for Will Reichard’s 28-yard field goal just before halftime. Reichard opened the scoring with a 41-yard field goal in the first quarter after Patrick Queen sacked Wentz on third down.

Trailing 24-6, Wentz threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes.

Wentz found Zavier Scott in the back of the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown pass. The 2-point conversion made the score 24-14 midway through the fourth quarter.

Pittsburgh then drove and went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 3 from the Gainwell was stopped short, leaving the Vikings with the ball on their 1-yard line with just over four minutes remaining.

Wentz hit a wide-open Jordan Addison for an 81-yard reception before he was tackled at the 1, setting up Jalen Nailor’s 2-yard touchdown reception on fourth down.

The comeback came up short when Wentz threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-17 from the Vikings 32, and the Steelers ran out the clock.

Justin Jefferson had 10 catches for 126 yards and Addison had four catches for 114 yards in his first game of the season after a three-game suspension.

The Vikings were 4 of 14 on third down.

“We just didn’t do enough things to overcome either our own execution or the injuries or whatever,” Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell said.

Rooney legacy

Tomlin addressed the team Saturday to remind them of the late Steelers chairman Daniel M. Rooney’s love of Ireland. He was the U.S. ambassador to Ireland from 2009-12.

“I know he’s smiling at us today,” Tomlin said. “I’ve been thinking about him a lot on a personal level.”

Luck of the Irish?

Late in the first half, the 41-year-old Rodgers scrambled on third down from the Minnesota 31, then fumbled when he was tackled, but the ball bounced to Broderick Jones and the lineman took it 4 yards to the 15. The quarterback said this week that he has some Irish heritage. But the drive ended with no points because of the blocked field goal.

Injuries

Vikings: Center Ryan Kelly was ruled out with a concussion. … T Brian O’Neill was helped up after a Vikings field goal in the first quarter. He was later ruled out with a knee injury.

Steelers: WR Calvin Austin III was slow to get up after a play in the second half. Tomlin said the receiver was at a local hospital getting his shoulder checked. CB Jalen Ramsey was “in and out of game” with a hamstring injury, Tomlin said.

Up next

Vikings: They travel to London to face the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Steelers: Bye week. They host the Browns in Week 6 on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Marc-Andre Fleury receives emotional farewell in final game with Penguins

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Returning to Pittsburgh for one final farewell just felt right for Marc-Andre Fleury.

Fleury stopped all eight shots he faced during the third period of his final game with the Pittsburgh Penguins, a 4-1 preseason win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

“It was a little surreal, a little crazy, but also comfortable,” Fleury said. “When I played here with other teams, I always felt a little weird, but this felt normal … like it used to.”

Fleury officially retired from the NHL as a member of the Minnesota Wild at the end of last season. But the beloved 40-year-old goaltender signed a ceremonial professional tryout contract earlier this month to see old teammates and friends, come full circle and complete a 21-season NHL career that began in Pittsburgh.

“I feel bad because I’ve done so many laps and goodbyes and I keep coming back,” Fleury said. “I’m thankful I got the opportunity to come back for one more go-around.”

Fleury, a former Vezina Trophy winner who also played with Vegas and Chicago, is second in NHL history only to Martin Brodeur with 575 wins and 1,051 regular-season games played, and his 76 NHL shutouts are tied for 10th in league history.

But this night was meant to celebrate Fleury, who is most well-known for his time in Pittsburgh where he won three Stanley Cups and holds nearly every major goaltending record in Penguins’ history, including games played (691), wins (375), goals-against average (2.58), shutouts (44), playoff games (115), playoff wins (62) and playoff shutouts with 10.

Fleury, who practiced with the Penguins on Friday, wore his familiar bright, yellow pads and a specially made mask to commemorate the special weekend. Fleury was offered a choice as to when he could play on Saturday and he opted for the third period to try to win one more game with the Penguins.

The sellout crowd rose to its feet in unison and gave Fleury a standing ovation as he led the Penguins’ from the tunnel to begin the third period. Loud chants of “Fle-ury” “Fle-ury” and “One More Year” filled the arena minutes after the puck dropped to begin the period. Fans erupted with thunderous applause each time Fleury made a save or touched the puck, including stops on Hudson Fasching, Cole Sillinger and Erik Gudbranson.

In the final two minutes, with the game in hand, the crowd showered Fleury with chants of “Thank You Fleury.” When the final horn sounded, fellow franchise cornerstones Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang embraced Fleury one more time in the crease.

“Every time he touched the puck, the reception was unreal,” Crosby said. “It felt like a playoff game. It was nice to get him the win.”

Fleury spent the first 13 seasons of his career with the Penguins. He helped Crosby, Malkin and Letang win the Stanley Cup in 2009, 2016 and 2017 before Vegas selected Fleury in the 2017 expansion draft.

Pittsburgh traded up to draft an 18-year-old Fleury No. 1 overall in 2003 during a tumultuous period in which the franchise nearly moved. More than two decades later, Pittsburgh is no longer a playoff fixture, but Fleury helped stabilize the franchise and turn the Penguins into one of the NHL’s marquee teams.

His signature moment with Pittsburgh came June 12, 2009, in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit. Fleury made a last-second desperation, post-to-post diving save on Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom to seal a 2-1 win and deliver Pittsburgh its third Stanley Cup.

The fans remembered on Saturday.

Before the game, crowds gathered multiple rows deep behind the Penguins’ goal hoping to catch a glimpse of Fleury during his final pregame warmup with the team. Many took photos and video to commemorate the moment, wore familiar No. 29 jerseys and held homemade signs expressing their love for Fleury, who lobbed pucks over the glass in between facing shots.

“It was surreal to be back with the Penguins and seeing the guys in front of me,” Fleury said. “It was amazing. It was just like old times.”
