(Pittsburgh, PA) After causing a crash in the South Side Flats area of Pittsburgh on May 31st, 2025, former NFL player Terrelle Pryor is now being sued. Three people that were injured in that crash, which occurred on East Carson Street, filed two lawsuits against Pryor, alleging he was speeding when he ran a red light and crashed his Tesla Cybertruck into another car that was trying to turn into the GetGo at the intersection of 33rd Street. Pryor was uninjured, but according to court paperwork, Pryor “violently struck” the Nissan Rogue, flipping it and pinning it against the traffic light post. The lawsuits note that the three people in that car inside the Nissan were hurt, but Pryor did not get injured. No charges have been filed against the former standout football player who played for Jeanette High School, Ohio State University and nine different NFL teams.

(AP) Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting after a celebrity boxing event in Miami, police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Dubai, said Miami police spokesman Mike Vega. He was flown to Essex County, New Jersey, where he is being held pending extradition to Miami, Vega said.
It was unclear why Brown was taken to New Jersey first or how long he had been in Dubai, although he has posted several times on social media over the past few months from there.
According to an arrest warrant detailing the May 16 shooting, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after the boxing match and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.
It was unclear from court documents whether Brown has an attorney. It also was not immediately known when Brown might be returned to Miami.
A second-degree attempted murder charge carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence and up to a $10,000 fine in the event of a conviction.
Brown, who spent 12 years in the NFL, was an All-Pro wide receiver who last played in 2021 for Tampa Bay but spent most of his career with Pittsburgh. For his career, Brown had 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and 83 touchdowns.
Brown has dealt with several legal problems over the years. He previously had been accused of battery of a moving truck driver, several domestic violence charges, failure to pay child support and other incidents. During a 2021 game with Tampa Bay against the New York Jets, Brown took off his jersey, shoulder pads and gloves and ran off the field, leading to his release by the Buccaneers and effectively ending his football career.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored twice and Bryan Rust delivered the go-ahead goal midway through the third period as the Pittsburgh Penguins edged Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals 5-3 on Thursday night.
The 39-year-old Crosby’s two first-period power-play goals boosted his season total to an NHL-best 11. Rust’s fifth of the season helped the Penguins avoid a second straight collapse. Anthony Mantha picked up his seventh of the year for Pittsburgh. Connor Dewar added an empty-net goal in the final minutes.
Rookie Ben Kindel collected the first two assists of his young career for the Penguins. Arturs Silovs made 28 saves as Pittsburgh stopped a two-game skid.
Ovechkin fueled a second-period rally by collecting a pair of assists the night after becoming the first player to reach the 900-goal plateau.
Ryan Strome, Tom Wilson and Rasmus Sandin scored for the Capitals, but the 99th all-time meeting between longtime rivals Crosby and Ovechkin ended with the surprising Penguins maintaining their composure after blowing a three-goal lead.
Pittsburgh has been an early-season surprise under first-year coach Dan Muse, though the Penguins’ hot start hit a bump on Monday when two dominant periods in Toronto morphed into a third-period meltdown in which the Maple Leafs ripped off four straight goals to pull off a stunner.
Not this time. Pittsburgh’s second-ranked power play scored three times, including a pair by Crosby in the first.
Pittsburgh appeared to be in firm control when Mantha pushed Pittsburgh’s lead to 3-0 just over 2 minutes into the second.
Washington responded by scoring three times, the last a nifty shot from his knees by Tom Wilson that tied the game 5 seconds before the horn sounded to end the period.
The Penguins steadied themselves, and Rust put them ahead to stay with a pretty redirect off a cross-ice feed from Evgeni Malkin.
Capitals: Travel to Tampa Bay on Saturday.
Penguins: Visit New Jersey on Saturday.

(Pittsburgh, PA) The University of Pittsburgh college football team made it into the initial 2025 College Football Playoff Rankings Top 25 released yesterday. Pitt earned the #24 spot after a five-game winning streak since going 2-2 in their first four games. Pitt is now 7-2 overall and 5-1 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. Since making the switch to freshman quarterback Mason Heintschel on October 4th, 2025 for their game that afternoon against Boston College, Pitt has not only won five games in a row, but also during that winning streak, they lead college football with scoring 200 points, they are second in the nation with 2,229 total yards and they have put up 24 touchdowns.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the practice squad on Tuesday, reuniting him with former teammate Aaron Rodgers.
The well-traveled Valdes-Scantling played alongside Rodgers from 2018-21 when they were both in Green Bay.
The 31-year-old Valdes-Scantling, who won a pair of Super Bowls with Kansas City in 2022 and 2023, was most recently with the San Francisco 49ers, catching four passes for 40 yards before being released last month.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin downplayed Valdes-Scantling’s arrival, which came a week after reports that Valdes-Scantling’s signing was imminent, only for him to hold off while waiting for a chance to join a 53-man roster instead of taking a practice squad spot.
That opportunity did not materialize, and now Valdes-Scantling finds himself on his fifth team since 2023. His most productive stop during that stretch came in New Orleans, where averaged 22.6 yards per catch and scored four touchdowns in eight games with the Saints.
“He is a really special guy, and I think MVS can still really play,” Rodgers said last week. “You saw last year when he was in New Orleans, he had opportunities. He had a lot of big touchdowns. He can still run.”
Valdes-Scantling caught 123 passes for 2,153 yards and 13 touchdowns during his four seasons alongside Rodgers in Green Bay and has averaged 17.3 yards per reception in his career.
The Steelers are in first place in the AFC North at 5-3, but have struggled to get consistent production out of their wide receivers outside of DK Metcalf. Metcalf leads the team with 29 receptions. Their next four top pass catchers are either running backs or tight ends.

(Pittsburgh, PA) Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes was voted by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America yesterday as one of three finalists for the 2025 National League Cy Young Award, which is given to the best pitcher in that league. This is the second year in a row that Skenes became a finalist for this award and he joins fellow finalists Cristopher Sánchez of the Philadelphia Phillies and Yoshinobu Yamamoto of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Skenes finished this year with statistics including a 10-10 record, a 1.97 ERA and 216 strikeouts through 32 starts and 187 and 2/3 innings, with one start as a complete game. Skenes’ 2025 ERA along with his 0.95 WHIP, 2.36 FIP and 217 ERA+ this year were all first among pitchers in the National League. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, if Skenes wins the 2025 National League Cy Young Award, he would be the fifth-youngest Cy Young Award winner. The Baseball Writers’ Association of America Awards’ broadcast for the Cy Young Award to announce the winners of that award for both leagues will be on the MLB Network on Wednesday, November 12th.

TORONTO (AP) — William Nylander had two goals and an assist in the third period, helping the Toronto Maple Leafs rally for a wild 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night.
Auston Matthews had a goal and an assist for Toronto, which trailed 3-0 going into the third. Bobby McMann snapped a tie with 6:17 left, and Anthony Stolarz stopped 34 shots.
The Maple Leafs won for the fourth time in five games.
Ben Kindel had two goals for Pittsburgh, and Erik Karlsson also scored. Tristan Jarry made 16 saves.
Kindel became the fifth 18-year-old in franchise history with a multigoal game, joining Sidney Crosby, Jaromir Jagr, Jordan Staal and Craig Simpson.
Kindel’s power-play goal made it 3-0 at 11:50 of the second. It was his fifth of the season.
Matthews started Toronto’s rally when he converted a breakaway 3:31 into the third. Nylander, who missed three of the Leafs’ previous four games, added two more, including a tying one-timer at 6:55.
McMann then gave Toronto its first lead after Nick Robertson took the puck hard to the net.
Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev returned to Toronto after being stretchered off in Saturday’s 5-2 victory at Philadelphia. Coach Craig Berube said the veteran blueliner “is in a good spot” following an overnight hospital stay.
Penguins: Host the Capitals on Thursday night.
Maple Leafs: Host the Mammoth on Wednesday.
