George Pickens is in the building. The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver showed up at The Star on Monday to take his physical, putting to rest any early drama heading into the team's mandatory minicamp this week. After the blockbuster trade from Pittsburgh, all eyes are on how quickly Pickens integrates into Dak Prescott's offense.
Shifting to the octagon, Tom Aspinall is fired up after watching Ciryl Gane trade elbows with Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom two hundred fifty at the White House last weekend — an event Aspinall wasn't even invited to. The reigning heavyweight champion called out what he sees as illegal strikes from Gane and has agreed to a rematch in Paris this September. That fight just got personal.
And in New York, the champagne is still flowing. Mikal Bridges opened up on Instagram about Knicks owner James Dolan's reported request that players abstain from sex during the playoffs. Bridges, fresh off his first NBA championship after New York took down San Antonio in five games, addressed it with the kind of energy you'd expect from a man holding a title. Let's just say he was not complaining about the outcome.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
