David Bakhtiari pokes fun at Aaron Rodgers's mystery wedding
David Bakhtiari could be heading to "The Island." Then again, maybe he's already there. On Monday, the former Packers tackle tweeted a video from the recent wedding of current Packers quarterback Jordan Love. Bakhtiari added this: "Just happy at least one of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding." Advertisement Love and Bakhtiari had limited time together. Bakhtiari started only one game in 2023, Love's first year as a starter and the left tackle's last year in Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers and Bakhtiari had many years together with the Packers. Making the Bakhtiari remark even more interesting is the general haze of uncertainty surrounding the Rodgers wedding. Up to and including whether a wedding even happened. We know, we know. Rodgers doesn't want anyone to talk about his wedding. When you're one of the most famous players in the NFL, however, you don't get to dictate the terms of the attention you receive. Especially when you show up out of nowhere with a wedding ring. Before showing up without it. Before showing up with it prominently in the photo of you signing a contract with your new team. With Rodgers cloaking so much of his life in mystery, it's impossible to know when, where, or who he married. Or if he even is married. Advertisement Maybe the ring is a Costanza-style sociological experiment aimed at seeing whether women will hit on guys who wear wedding bands. Regardless, Bakhtiari went there. We don't know much, but we know Rodgers won't be happy about it.

Wimbledon 2025: No. 3 Jessica Pegula eliminated in first round in shocking loss to Elisabetta Cocciaretto Jessica Pegula entered Wimbledon with lofty expectations. As the women's No. 3, Pegula was expected to make a deep run at the event, not running into trouble until the later rounds. Any hope for that push ended Tuesday, as Pegula shockingly lost in the first round of the tournament to Elisabetta Cocciaretto. Pegula lost in straight sets to the women's No. 116 player (6-2, 6-3). It was an uncharacteristically sloppy day for Pegula, who notched four double faults in the loss. Advertisement For all of Pegula's success, Wimbledon remains her toughest Grand Slam event. Entering Tuesday, Pegula had just a 62 percent winning percentage at the tournament, her lowest among all Grand Slams. That number decreased following her first-round loss to Cocciaretto. This story will be updated.

Third seed Pegula suffers shock Wimbledon exit
American third seed Jessica Pegula admitted her shock straight-sets defeat against Italy's Elisabetta Cocciaretto in the Wimbledon first round was her "worst result of the year". Pegula was demolished 6-2, 6-3 by the world number 116 in just 58 minutes on Court Two on Tuesday. Advertisement It was a bitter blow for the 2024 US Open finalist, who has never been past the quarter-finals at the All England Club. The 31-year-old played with heavy strapping on her right knee and never looked comfortable in a lacklustre performance. "She played incredible tennis. Do I think I played the best match ever? No. But I wasn't that bad. It was just her day today," Pegula said. "I think I could have served better but I was having trouble with the conditions. It was very humid and the court was slow. "I tried my best to match her level and I thought I would close the gap in the second set. But she didn't drop her level at all. She was forcing a lot of my errors." Advertisement Since losing last year's US Open final against Aryna Sabalenka, world number three Pegula has been eliminated before the quarter-finals in all three of her Grand Slam appearances. "It's probably the worst result I've had all year. I haven't lost in the first round of a Slam for a long time. That sucks," she said. "I feel like I'm playing as well as I was at the end of last year. But it's hard to put it all together over two weeks. Sometimes it doesn't align. "I managing the knee and I have a bit of a neck injury as well. But I feel good overall. That's why it's disappointing. Advertisement "The most frustrating thing was I wasn't able to figure it out, which I feel I should be able to. " It was only Cocciaretto's second win against a top-10 player. The 24-year-old has never been past the third round at Wimbledon and her best Grand Slam performance was a run to the last 16 at last year's French Open. smg/jw
