QUEEN TALKS MADDEN
For many, playing in the NFL is a dream. However, not everyone makes it to that level. Thanks to the Madden NFL video game, though, fans can still try to simulate what that would be like. It’s been popular for years, giving fans a slight taste of the NFL experience.
The game isn’t just popular among fans, though. Many NFL players enjoy playing Madden, too. The Steelers recently released a video on their YouTube channel where Patrick Queen spoke about the game. He gives some interesting answers, including revealing that Aaron Rodgers used to be one of his favorite players to use. Now, he gets to actually play alongside Rodgers.
Watt’s House Tour – And Massive Check
T.J. Watt offered a tour of his house, or, at least, his basement, as part of a wide-ranging interview with Graham Bensinger. He showed off his and his wife Dani’s hardware collected throughout the years, including the subtle flex of the NFL yet to send his third Deacon Jones Award for leading the league in sacks. Less subtle was the $5.6 million check from the Steelers after signing his 2021 contract extension.
He also showed off his personal recovery space, which includes a cold plunge tub and a massive, state-of-the-art sauna. Check out the entire clip below.

Mars held off North Hills, coming away with a 13-10 win.
