His intention was to hype up the crowd, but it had quite the opposite effect for two people.Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, is married to Megan Kerrigan Byron. They have two children together.

Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Trail Blazers, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Sources: Damian Lillard reaches deal to return to Trail Blazers
Nine-time NBA All-Star Damian Lillard agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract to return to the Portland Trail Blazers, sources told ESPN on Thursday.Lillard's deal includes a player option in 2027-28 and a no-trade clause.
Lillard joins the Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James as the only NBA players with a true no-trade clause in their contracts. Bradley Beal had one before coming to a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns earlier this week.
Lillard and the Trail Blazers both deeply cared about a reunion in recent weeks -- with multiple meetings among the Portland franchise icon, general manager Joe Cronin and head coach Chauncey Billups to bond together and move forward united on a new deal, sources said.

Lillard tore his left Achilles in late April in Game 4 of the Bucks' first-round playoff series with the Indiana Pacers and underwent surgery in early May.
Lillard will use the 2025-26 season to rehabilitate his injury, but a return to the franchise and Portland, where his family and children reside were of the ultimate importance, per sources. He also had multiple midlevel exception and minimum offers from NBA contenders, per sources.
Portland traded Lillard to the Bucks for Jrue Holiday, Toumani Camara, and assets in 2023 and then sent Holiday to the Boston Celtics for Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon and assets (one led to Deni Avdija).
Now, the Blazers have both Lillard and Holiday (reacquired in a trade with the Celtics this offseason), plus Avdija, Williams, Camara, a 2029 first-rounder and two Bucks pick swaps.

Skull Session: James Peoples and Austin Siereveld Are Under-the-Radar Players to Watch, Garrett Wilson is a Top-10 NFL WR and Julian Sayin is Rated the Nation's No. 31 QB
James Peoples and Austin Siereveld are among the top under-the-radar players to watch in the Big Ten and Garrett Wilson is a top-10 wide receiver in the NFL.
UNDER THE RADAR. You can always set your watch to what kind of content will be produced by college football outlets in mid-July. Preseason predictions, watchlists, media days content and anonymous-sourced pieces where college coaches give their true thoughts on teams and players for the upcoming year.
Well, one piece that fits the final category was released on Wednesday, as 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz polled sources around the Big Ten to gather intel on 25 under-the-radar players to watch for the 2025 season.
Two Buckeyes were mentioned in the piece: Running back James Peoples and right tackle Austin Siereveld.
Here’s what the sources said on each player.
- On Peoples: “Compact, explosive runner with a thick lower body and has really good short area burst.”
- On Siereveld: “He's been looking like a dude this offseason.”

With that, Rogers' ability to be a playmaker wherever he is lined up on the field is what differentiates him from the rest of Locklyn's room.
"We felt like, based on what we saw him do this year, he was lined up as a receiver a lot. He was a returner," Day said. "So he kind of gives us a little bit of that hybrid where he can line up a receiver, he can come into the backfield, he can return kicks. Haven't had a ton of those guys. Xavier Johnson was probably the guy who was probably the best comp that way. ... So guys who can do multiple job descriptions, I think their value is going to continue to increase, and I think Turbo is one of those guys.”
While it might be tough for Rogers to see significant snaps at running back in his first season in Columbus, his ability to be a game-changing returner paired with his versatility to play both running back and wide receiver increases the likelihood that Day and Brian Hartline will find a way to get him on the field, even if it is only on special teams early on.
Whether it be in the backfield, in the slot or as a returner, expect Rogers to carve out a role by his second year as a Buckeye and become an impact player in Ohio State’s offense by his third year in Columbus.
Better Know a Buckeye: Anthony Rogers’ Do-It-All Playmaking Ability As a Hybrid Running Back Makes Him A Unique Weapon for Ohio State’s Offense
Immediate Impact
While Ohio State's running backs might lack experience, with West Virginia transfer CJ Donaldson being the lone one with any major playing time at the college level, the room makes up for it with talent and depth. James Peoples and Donaldson seem to lead the way for Ohio State’s one-two punch at the position this year, while Jackson, Sam Williams-Dixon and West are also candidates for playing time behind them.With that, Rogers' ability to be a playmaker wherever he is lined up on the field is what differentiates him from the rest of Locklyn's room.

Long-Term Impact
With Donaldson entering his final year of eligibility, Rogers will have a chance to push for real snaps at running back in 2026. Even if Peoples and Jackson are the one-two punch a season from now, Rogers' skill set will give Ohio State incentive to find a role for him with his ability to line up in multiple spots and create mismatches.Whether it be in the backfield, in the slot or as a returner, expect Rogers to carve out a role by his second year as a Buckeye and become an impact player in Ohio State’s offense by his third year in Columbus.
