Brandon Aiyuk Bought a Mansion Next to a Team That Hasn't Signed Him. Seriously?

Brandon Aiyuk — still under contract with the San Francisco 49ers, still on the reserve/left team list, still unsigned by anyone — just went on Instagram to announce he purchased a $10 million estate in Loudoun County, Virginia. Right around the corner from the Washington Commanders' practice facility. A team that, as of today, has zero reported interest in signing him.  Also ... LeBron James made his final decision.  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $150 in lineups instantly if your first $5 lineup wins: https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/  For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #49ers #brandonaiyuk #nfl #nflnews Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This Is the 49ers' Last Best Shot at a Super Bowl — And They Know It

The 2026 San Francisco 49ers are staring down the most important season of the Kyle Shanahan era — and everybody inside that building knows it. The greatest collection of talent this franchise has assembled since the dynasty years is getting older by the day. The salary cap is squeezing. The injury history is real. And the margin between Super Bowl contender and first-round exit in January is thinner than it has ever been. 2026 isn't just another season. For this group — it might be the season.  🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a DB+ livestream  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $150 in lineups instantly if your first $5 lineup wins: https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/  For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.

The NFL Is Not a Sports League. It's the Most Powerful Business in America.

The NFL generated over $20 billion in revenue last year. Seventeen of the twenty most watched television broadcasts in American history are NFL games. The average franchise is now worth $6 billion. The lowest-rated Thursday night game outdraws the NBA Finals. And the Super Bowl doesn't just win the night — it stops the entire country cold for four hours and becomes the only thing anybody talks about for a week in either direction. We're going LIVE to make the case that the NFL stopped being a sports league a long time ago — it's now one of the most powerful, most profitable, and most culturally dominant businesses operating in the United States of America. Sunday afternoons from September through January, and has turned watching football into the closest thing America has to a shared religion. No sport is chasing it. No sport is close.  🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a DB+ livestream  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $150 in lineups instantly if your first $5 lineup wins: https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/  For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co  Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #nfl #sportsbusiness #football Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

NFL Owners Just Put a Price on Player Safety — It's the Cost of a Grass Field

The NFL is the most profitable sports league on the planet. Thirty-two franchises. Billions in revenue. Owners worth tens of billions of dollars individually. And they won't put grass in their stadiums. This isn't a new conversation. It's just one that never gets loud enough. Nick Bosa tore his ACL on turf. Davante Adams. Deebo Samuel. The list of players who have gone down on artificial surfaces and never fully come back is long, it's painful, and it's completely preventable. The NFLPA has been fighting this battle for years. Players vote turf among their top safety concerns every single season.  🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a DB+ livestream  Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/DAMON  Snapp AI: Use code "DamonBruceFree" when you sign up at: https://www.trysnapp.ai/  For advertising opportunities: contact@hogmedia.co  Support the show by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcs13VXhiObJg6jGDw2xbZg/join  All Damon Bruce Plus content is available on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1681177856.  #49ers #nfltrainingcamp #sanfrancisco49ers Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
