Luis Enrique is not hiding his respect heading into the Champions League final. The PSG manager called Arsenal the best team in the world without the ball, a striking bit of praise with ten days to go before the two sides meet in Budapest. High compliments, but make no mistake, Enrique means it as a tactical warning shot.

Speaking of Arsenal, their Premier League title celebration had one notable absence from the early photos, and that was manager Mikel Arteta himself. Arteta did join the squad later in the evening, but he wasn't pitchside when the trophy moment was confirmed. The story behind the timing is still fuzzy, though his arrival didn't dampen the mood one bit for the newly-crowned champions.

Shifting to the NFL, the Rashee Rice situation in Kansas City is forcing some big conversations. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer is urging the Chiefs to go after A.J. Brown in a blockbuster trade, arguing that Kansas City cannot afford uncertainty at the receiver position heading into another Super Bowl run. Patrick Mahomes needs weapons, and Brown would be a seismic addition if the price is right.

That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
