Jeffery Simmons is staying in Tennessee, and he's getting paid like the force of nature he is. The Titans and their defensive tackle have agreed to a three-year extension worth one hundred five point eight million dollars, making Simmons one of the highest-paid interior defenders in the league. Nashville just sent a message to the rest of the AFC.
Shifting to Shinnecock Hills, Xander Schauffele is firmly in the conversation at the US Open after firing a four-under sixty-six in round two. He sits at three-under for the tournament and had some notable things to say about world number one Scottie Scheffler, acknowledging the pressure that comes with chasing the best player on the planet. Schauffele already has two majors to his name, and this weekend he's hunting a third.
And on the pitch, the United States women had to sweat through a VAR review before celebrating Alex Freeman's goal against Australia, but the call stood and the goal counted. The review confirmed Freeman was onside, giving the US a crucial second goal and sending a statement to the rest of the field as tournament play heats up.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
