Whether it be disgruntled star quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, Simone Biles' uncertain future in Tokyo or Team USA's swimmers, there was constant news to digest overnight. 

The Packers traded for Randall Cobb, one of Rodgers' favorite targets, in an attempt to try and convince the less-than-enthused quarterback to stay in Green Bay beyond 2021. Rodgers returned to Green Bay's training camp, and Nate Davis broke down the winners and losers of the situation. It's Super Bowl or bust in 2021

Meanwhile, Simone Biles' unexpected withdrawal from both the team final and individual all-around final cast uncertainty over whether the star gymnast will compete in any of next week's finals. Biles thanked the public on Twitter for the outpouring love and support she's received.
