And not just keys, as some commenters to the article point out.

I just learned something,that apparently has been going on since 2020 in baseball--the "free runner".

As I looked up today's Chicago/Detroit game result,the summary mentioned a "free runner" scoring in the tenth inning to win the game for Chicago.

Free runner?

It turns out,when a game goes to extras--this,in place for four years--each team gets a free runner to start the 10th at second base. I never heard of it,which goes to show you my interest the last few years.

But not in the playoffs.

What else?

TAKING A PAGE FROM THE JETS(WHO SIGNED JOE NAMATH TO A "COMEBACK" 3 YEAR CONTRACT)PITTSBURGH STEELERS SIGN AARON RODGERS TO COMPETE WITH TERRY BRADSHAW FOR
WHEELCHAIR QUARTERBACK POSITION


(cbs sports)After weeks of waiting and mulling his different options, Aaron Rodgers has chosen his new NFL team. The four-time NFL MVP is signing a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones. Rodgers will attend Pittsburgh's mandatory minicamp next week.

GRA:Pitt GM Omar Khan(who should be with Arizona--a desert team)related that since the NFL added an optional wheelchair quarterback position,signing Rodgers to back up probable starter Terry Bradshaw was a smart move.

" You never know when Terry's 'Ironside-mobile' might not work during a snowstorm or such,so Rodgers is a perfect backup for Terry,as he can still move slightly without a scooter. "

NFL rules allow a team to sign a wheelchair quarterback as long as they are deemed 75% unable to walk without assistance,but could,in a pinch.
