Hi, xxxx xxxx for sports in sixty on Friday, August seventh, twenty twenty-six. In the N.F.L., Jahmyr Gibbs signs a three-year, sixty-seven-point-five million dollar Lions extension — about fifty-one-point-five million guaranteed — becoming the highest-paid running back in league history after a week that also reset the market for Bijan Robinson and Jonathan Taylor.

In baseball, the Red Sox survive a thirteen-inning, twelve-eleven marathon over the White Sox for their eighth straight win — thirty-one of thirty-six since late June. In soccer, the Portland Timbers make a Leagues Cup statement, routing Club Puebla five-two at Providence Park. And on the PGA Tour, Virginia product Ben James sits atop the Wyndham Championship at eleven-under as FedExCup playoff spots hang in the balance. Your sports on demand anytime, anywhere!
