TRB Sports: Erik on the NBA Draft and Brandon Aiyuk/49ers drama

TRB Sports: restoring the feeling of REAL sports media.

What about all the other potential future stars and big trades that were made around the draft, with what should be a hectic free agency period looming? Also, as we head into July, we inch one step closer to the start of NFL training camps and preseason. With that, Erik chronicles one of the most diabolical sagas of the offseason: Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers' significantly strained relationship. 0:12 Intro 1:29 NBA Draft winners and losers 30:22 Early NBA offseason reaction 44:42 Brandon Aiyuk/49ers drama
