On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce Magowan:

#1 Bruce, just wanted to get your take on San Francisco 49ers Brandon Aiyuk whose been pushing for a trade. The Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of the business day on Friday made a bid for Aiyuk and the New England Patriots who were talking turkey but Aiyuk turned the Patriots offer down. The deal with the Steelers is a matter if there is something the 49ers and Pittsburgh can agree on. There is also a chance that Aiyuk could remain with the 49ers without an extension as this is his last year with the 49ers.

#2 It didn’t take long before the 49ers had sustained it’s first injury and that’s what happened to cornerback Ambry Thomas who broke his forearm in Saturday’s first pre season game in Tennessee. Thomas tried to tackle Titans quarterback Mason Rudolph but missed and collapsed on the field and when Thomas got up tried not to move his right arm and ran off the field letting the arm hang from the shoulder.

#3 Turning to baseball the San Francisco Giants have taken the first two games of this current series with the Detroit Tigers on Friday the Giants won it on a Chad Pinder sac fly that allowed the winning run to score from third base in the ninth and on Saturday the Giants rallied for three runs in the sixth inning and that’s all they needed for a 3-1 win over the Tigers. The Giants are now three games over .500 the for the first time since last season.

#4 Paris Olympics in men’s basketball The Team USA on Saturday put the Team France to bed in a 98-87. Team USA’s Stephen Curry led with 24 points five assists, and eight three pointers. Curry started out slow in the beginning of the games but is now into his rhythm. Curry hit four 3’s in the last 2:48 of the contest.

#5 Too much injuries in pre season football continues as the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown went to the hospital for an exam after injuring his shoulder against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday. Brown ran for an 11 yard gain on a pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes but after a gain of 11 was tackled and landed on his left shoulder. Word from the Chiefs Brown is expected to be out for significant period of time.
