Gianni Infantino is keeping his seat at the top of FIFA, but not without some turbulence. Senior officials gathered in Morocco this week reaffirmed their full support for his presidency after the organization publicly apologized for errors made during Infantino's failed push to sell stakes in the World Cup. The admission is notable — FIFA rarely says sorry for anything.
Shifting to the Bronx, Aaron Judge gave Yankees fans exactly what they needed to hear. The slugger was re-examined Tuesday, cleared for light activity on that fractured rib, and came out of the facility saying flat out he will be back this season. He hasn't played since May thirty-first, but Judge sounded like a man who knows his body and is not ready to call it a year.
And in the football world, two years after walking away from the game as arguably the most dominant defensive tackle of his generation, Aaron Donald laced up and worked out with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday. No pads, but he wore a helmet and used the team facility. Whether this turns into a comeback nobody saw coming remains to be seen, but Donald showing up at all changes the conversation overnight.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
