Brandon Aiyuk is making noise and it has nothing to do with the forty-niners. The wide receiver posted an Instagram story Sunday night shouting "Go Commanders, Raise Hail, Take Command" — and just like that, trade speculation is back on the front burner. San Francisco fans are not going to love this one.
Shifting to the pitch, Lionel Messi is one goal away from becoming the World Cup's all-time leading scorer as Argentina take on Austria in Group J. He needs just one to surpass Miroslav Klose's record, and the entire soccer world is watching. If tonight is the night, it will be one of the most historic moments this tournament has ever seen.
And in a moment of genuine weight, Jason Collins will be honored posthumously with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at The ESPYS in July. Collins, who broke barriers as the first openly gay active player in major American pro sports, will have his twin brother Jarron accept the award on his behalf. A fitting tribute to a legacy that changed the game far beyond the box score.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
