Troy Aikman accused Joe Buck of betraying him during a heated argument at SoFi Stadium, basically telling him, “You f*cked me over!” Sources in a new report say the confrontation came after Aikman learned his longtime partner had secretly finalized a six-year, $108 million extension with ESPN, while Aikman was still waiting for a new deal. Aikman reportedly felt blindsided that Buck, ESPN and their shared agency had kept the agreement from him for months. Aikman, who currently earns $18 million annually, was reportedly seeking a deal worth as much as $30 million per year. The report described Aikman as increasingly distant and frustrated in the weeks leading up to the argument, with Buck eventually confronting him. The situation escalated to the point where Buck apologized to Aikman and the entire Monday Night Football production team ahead of Monday's broadcast, but Aikman reportedly offered no response after Buck finished speaking. After 25 years together in the broadcast booth, their partnership could now be coming to an end, with Aikman's ESPN contract expiring after this season. #NFL #TroyAikman #JoeBuck #ESPN (Via Puck/NBC Sports)

Jaromir Jagr: “I worked out so hard that summer. I thought, ‘Okay, this year I’m going to catch Mario'. " 👀 His training included 1,000 deep knee bends/bodyweight squats a day, lunges and side lunges, sprints and running, weighted-vest workouts, ankle-weight training both on and off the ice, medicine-ball exercises, hockey-stick resistance and cable exercises, weighted-puck shooting, resisted stickhandling, sled/resistance running, and extensive extra skating sessions 💪 "I came to camp, we got on the ice, and he was still twice as strong as me. He didn’t lift a single weight all summer, and I couldn’t even budge him. Mario hadn't skated all summer. I realized right then that some people are just born different.” ✨ 🪄
