PM Roundup: Hilary Duff; Aaron Rodgers Gets Massive Extension; Clint Dempsey Retires
The Big Lead’s PM Sports Roundup, which has not yet been traded for a late-round draft pick.
Hilary looks back: Hilary Duff couldn’t believe it had been 15 years since the release of her “Metamorphosis” album.
A-Rodg gets paid: Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have agreed to a massive contract extension. It’s a four-year, $134 million deal that could be worth as much as $180 million. It includes roughly $103 million in guarantees.
Deuce hangs em up: Clint Dempsey has announced his retirement from soccer. Dempsey had a brilliant career and is firmly in the debate as the greatest American soccer player of all-time.
ape Cod beach closed for sharks: Meadow Beach in Truro, Massachusetts closed earlier this week thanks to a great white shark sighting just 75 feet from shore. All kinds of NOPE on this one.
