Welcome into the show
It has been far too long without you guys
It was unplanned of a break
So my apologies to you guys for not announcing
And staying more communicative
As far as letting you guys know scheduling
I'm usually a lot better in that
My apologies, Justin Time Sports Podcast
Brought to you by IMS Productions
Along with of course myself
But again, my sincerest apologies to you guys for that
It was again, it was unplanned
I usually do take a break during the summer
Right after the NBA finals, right before the NFL training camp
I usually take a break about a couple of weeks
Never truly this long
But it is a couple of weeks that I usually take a break
If you guys notice, going back to my previous seasons
It's usually, like I said, right after the finals
It's a couple of weeks and I usually come back
But I took about a month this time
It was unplanned
Little life stuff, like I said, first time
I've done two sports in the summer
I was doing girls basketball and football
And then honestly kind of just wanted to enjoy life a little bit
And I enjoy doing this, I really do
It always makes me happy to get in the booth and talk to you guys
But it just wasn't the right time, honestly
For like I said, about a month
And I had the itch last week
I'm like, man, I hadn't recorded in a while
I hadn't done a podcast in a while
I was trying to get stuff finalized to the production company
And it was a bunch of stuff happening behind the scenes
Peeling back the curtain a little bit
While I haven't talked with you guys
But I am back
I plan on going balls to the wall
Weekly from here through football season
So that's two balls in February
So from now, which is August
You guys will hear this August 6th
Through the first week of February
So like a six month grind
I plan on being weekly from here on out
Shout out my man B-Roy again for the intro song
I was a little nervous coming back
I hadn't done this in a month
So just putting the stuff together and getting everything set up
And then I heard the intro song
It got me hype, ready to go
But I am excited to be with you guys
Like I said, I'm recording this late Monday night
You guys will hear this Tuesday morning
But our first topic
We're going to tackle the world stage
And then we're going to come back more local
We're going to start off with the Olympics
2024 Paris Olympics
They'll be in LA in 2028
Fingers crossed I'm in LA
For the Olympics I would love to see basketball
At the Olympic stage in LA
I feel that would be insane, right?
It won't be the GOAT Tour like it is now
Like Steph, Katie and LeBron
They're all should be past that point
But you'll have your Anthony Edwards, your Cooper Flags
Your Tyree Caliburdons
And B-Roy may go one more
Bama the Biola loves international game
That may be AD's last ride
Especially because it will be in LA
But, no, Kawhi is not going to play
I don't even know why I said that
Kawhi don't play for the Clippers
He ain't going to play for Team USA
But that would be pretty dope
But the Olympics right now are in Paris
And despite all their controversies
We had opening ceremony controversy
We had the Sin River controversy
Where they were trying to do the triathlon
And the water levels were like
Toxic or whatever, it was dirty water
And then now like reportedly people are getting sick
All over the place
Because they said they cleared it
And now people are getting sick all over the place
From a random assortment of diseases
Due to the Sin River water
Which conveniently or interestingly enough
There was a movie that came out recently on Netflix
About sharks in the Sin River
And it was like the president of France
Or whatever she was, whoever ruled
Whatever the lady's title was
That ruled over the France
Was like, no, we're going to have this big swimming competition
In the Sin River anyway
Because there's no way there's sharks in the river
Kind of thing like that
And then Hordes of Gaite
They ended up blowing it up
Flooding all of Paris
By blowing some stuff up
Because it was a long
And it had those movie endings
And a sci-fi movie where
Every little thing ends in this massive
Like I said, they end up flooding Paris
Like under multiple feet of water
And but again
It was like the Sin River was the center of it
So now fast forward to real life
You have a pollution issue with the Sin River
And the people cleared it
And then people popping up sick left and right
Due to the water
So hey, that's the risk you take
Swimming in a natural body of water
Now, of course, the triathlon
Like when they go to LA
I'm sure they're going to swim
In a river in LA if there is one
Or they'll find a river
In nearby like Long Beach
They'll find somewhere to swim
To do the swimming part of the triathlon
Wherever they can
But it'll be better than it is in the Sin River, right?
But that is not what I want to talk to you guys about
I'm talking about the Sin River and diseases
This got off track early
Anyway, let's go to the medal count
Again, this is as of 10.50 p.m. Central Standard Time
This is the medal count from where Team USA is sitting
Currently, we are up 79 to 53 in medals
And we are tied with China with 21 goals
China is actually this country in second with 53 medals
So that was a team champion
America's first, China is second
Big kudos, I mean, America's supposed to
Right? Like we had 300 Olympians
We had our own boat and was packed to the brim
Like sardines in a can
On the opening ceremony
Again, on the Sin
The opening ceremony was like
With some iconic shots of Team USA
That was, you know, we were
We had the most Olympians
We're the best at a lot
We have the goats at a lot of stuff
So there's certain events where you're as a country not going to win
You're not going to win basketball, men or women
You're not going to win all around gymnastics as a woman
Simone Biles had an off-Olympics, quote unquote
You're not going to win
Like you just start thinking you're not going to win
There are certain people who come into the Olympics with the expectation of they're going to win
You come in with shot put, you're not going to win it
You're not going to be there for shot put
It's just that certain stuff
You come in with an expectation to win
You get that a lot with like
You know, back in the olden days, the Russian gymnasts
Like she's going to come in, she's going to win the Olympics
It wasn't until 2012
I want to say the Gabby, not the Gabby
Yeah, the Gabby Douglas Olympics
Where Team USA Women's Gymnastics
For the first time took down people
And was like, oh my God, they can actually do this
And then the Simone Biles reign begins the next Olympics
But speaking of Simone Biles
And what I believe is her final Olympics
She went out almost as good as any, as you could've
She wins, she participates in the four by four team
In the team all around event
Affectionately known as Effron and Findout
More formally known as the Golden Girls
And they got the name Golden Girls
Because, well, Effron and Findout came from
One of the former teammates of Team USA Women's Gymnastics
Basically slandering the team
Saying a bunch of derogatory stuff about the team
That, you know, if you're a supporter
Especially an ex-teammate, you shouldn't be saying that sort of stuff
But she said a lot of derogatory comments about the team
And so Simone Biles, after they won
Treated out the team nicknamed Effron and Findout
And then it comes out later
That catches fire
Because it's not something you get from athletes often in general
Especially you don't get it from Simone Biles
She's usually pretty diplomatic and pretty formal
And for her to go to Effron and Findout
It's like, oh, okay
And then knowing the controversy of what happened
That led to that moment
Really, really sparked the interest of a lot of people
And so then she had to come out like a day later
And be like, no, no, no, no
Like the team name is truly and truly the Golden Girls
Because we're older and they're like the oldest US team ever
Or something like that
Because Simone herself is 27, which I'm 27
But like her 27 in gymnastics years is like 47
It's like 37 in any other sport
Like, you know, it's supposed to be done at 23
Like you're a 23-year-old gymnast, so you're kind of old
Like you really get two cracks at Olympics
You really get that Olympic between 16 and 20
Then that Olympic between 21 and 24
You don't usually get a third crack at it
Like if you hit it, if you hit it the first time at 16
You hit it again at 20, you might get it at 24
You don't get it at 28, right?
So the fact she's 27
And there's a possibility she comes back at 31
To compete in LA is insane
But she wins, she participates in and she leads
Let's be honest
She leads the team event all around gold
She wins the individual event all around gold
She does not medal in vault
No, she doesn't medal in balance beam
It's because she fall off the beam
And I think she silvers or bronzes in vault
But her event's the floor
Her mastery level's the floor
And everybody knows it
Her difficulty is routinely 6.97
And everybody else's difficulty is 6.1
So you're coming in with a 8 tenths of a point advantage
And gymnastics is massive
They'd be like in a basketball game
If you came in the game, you were up 15 to start
Like you started off up 15
Just because of the way you played or whatever
So because in the ladies' winning
Ketika, her first neighbor, her life seems to be Andrade from Brazil
Her routine difficulty is a 6.1
Simone's a 6.9
So there's point 8 of a difference
She has to make up just from the difficulty standpoint
Now there's no way on the planet anybody beats Simone Biles in the floor
Unless Simone Biles basically gives it to you
Because she can execute her routine way less crispy
Than the person with the lower difficulty
And as long as she doesn't step out of bounds or commit a fault
She's going to win
Because she can have point 6 lower on execution
And still beat you by point 2
Because of her difficulty level
Well, that's what Simone Biles did on the floor
She was battling
It was reported early in the Olympics
She had an ankle calf injury
I didn't watch the women all around
But I did notice in the individual all around
She was wearing a calf wrap
Interesting
Usually she's bare-legged at the bottom
Some gymnasts, they wrap their feet almost like
They end up making shoes with the wrap
They get a really heavy heel wrap
A really heavy arch wrap
They almost make shoes with their wrap
Usually Simone is pretty bare-legged
As far as protection
So she has a calf wrap
But she wins gold
Balance being
I saw her fall off in the individual
She basically did her skill
Which is what we say like a trick, a flip
She did her skill
And then she just kind of stepped off
Whatever feeling she wanted to get when she landed
She didn't like it
She didn't volunteer to just step off
But it wasn't the fight
She would normally have had to balance herself on the beam
Just to stay on
She did her skill
And then she just went off
It was like
Was it a situation where she's injured and she feels it?
And she's kind of like
I can't do what I want to do
Because I just don't have the body right now
Or the situation was it was just that bad of a mess-up
And she had no choice
But then in floor, individual floor
Which again, she starts off with almost
A near point advantage
Maybe like you starting off with almost 20 point lead in basketball
Or you're starting off up 10 in football
I have to make ups
I have to execute so much better than you
Just to beat you
Because of your advantage
So fast forward to floor
A few girls are going
They're really battling for bronze
Because you think in your brain
Silver and gold are going between Andrade and Simone Biles
And Andrade's had a hell of a story
She has three torn ACLs
She's older
Like she's bigger
Like you don't typically have
I mean everybody looks giant compared to Simone Biles
But she looks like she's above 5'5'5'6
Which is tall for a woman
With multiple ACLs
Like usually that story doesn't happen in gymnastics
But you go into the floor thinking
Okay, it's Andrade or it's Biles as far as gold
Bronze is up for debate
You had Suni Lee and you had a few other women
That were all vying for bronze potentially when they showed up
So some of those women start going
So Simone Biles sneaks onto the mat
And I say sneak but of course you're in an arena
She goes into the mat to basically test her ankle
And her ankle calf
And she goes for a flip and she goes for a skill
And when she does it
She just looks like her feet barely touch the ground
She just sits back
And almost like blows her coach's knee out
And her coach is like what's wrong
And you can see her mouth
It's about like her calf doesn't straighten or something
And so they go back to rapping
They go back to rapping
And she's basically trying to nod at herself
And tell herself like you got one routine
You can be hurting later
You got to do this one time
Andrade lays down a nearly perfect routine
Especially considering her skill was not that high
So I'm going in thinking
Okay, Andrade wins with a 14.1
14.1 is how I got a whole small
She's going to start off with a 7
So that means in order for her not to pass 14.1
She's going to have to have the execution of a 7.0 or lower
That's almost impossible
And she didn't do that
Instead she had her majors
She was pulling her stuff out
But she stepped out of bounds twice
Each out of bounds step is minus 0.3
She would have won by 0.477
She ends up losing by 0.133
Andrade takes the gold
Simone Biles takes the silver
And Suni Lee after a re-score
Gets the bronze
In floor
Look, to me Simone Biles is the greatest gymnast of all time
You can put whoever you want up there
That's cool
She's the most decorated American gymnast ever
She has five or six skills named after her in gymnastics
One on each event
One on vault
One on balance beam
One on uneven bars
One on the floor
She is truly a legend who changed the game
There is multiple stories about how she
One of her teammates
I want to say it's Suni Lee
Suni Lee, I'm sorry
Or Jordan Childs
One or two
But they were basically on the verge
If not quitting gymnastics forever
And she got the person to move down
To Bible Studio in the Houston area
And it's like, no, you're going to work here
And then I think it was
I don't know why
But I think it was Jordan Childs
But then they end up going to these games and meddling
And it's like, you know, like my career was over
I was throwing in the towel
It didn't work for me
It is what it is
And then Simone steps up
And she invites me to her house
Her house, her camp, etc.
Really teach that person how to be a gymnast again
And instilling that confidence in them
And then now they're meddling
So she's the most accomplished female gymnast of all time
And the only reason why again
Is she works to participate in all four individuals
And their woman all around
And the team all around
She can get the sixth gold medal to the Olympics
Michael Phelps was like undefeated in Beijing
He went eight for eight
But again, swimming to me is a much easier thing
There's four different swimming events just for the 100 meter
Like there's the backstroke
There's the breaststroke
There's like freestyle
And there's something else
Like just for the 100 meter
So it was like we did it for 100 meter
And 200 meter
And four by one
And four by two
There's 16 medal opportunities
Just in the 200 meter and shorter swimming
Like and then as opposed to, you know, Simone Biles
There's six total events she can enter
And really and truly it's almost impossible
Like I don't think I've ever heard anybody enter all six
So like that is something that I think needs to be taken into consideration
But to me she's one of the greatest Olympians of all time
From the United States
I mean what she did historically
She's on the Mount Rush more of Olympians
What she did historically is unmasking its own rival
And I think it's going to remain that way for quite a long time
But if she is done
If the floor was her last routine
If her moment in the spotlight for the last time as a competitor is
Giving credence and props to Andrade who had a hell of a life story
Then she's earned that to be her way out
And hopefully we'll get her in front of camera
Accepting some sort of lifetime award in the not so distant future
Team USA basketball
Oh man, so team USA basketball
They're both teams are 3-0
I'll start with the women and go to the men
So the women's side of 150 straight game
They have not lost the game in the Olympic tournament
I believe since 1996
Was the last time that a women's team lost in the Olympics
The most dominant team of all time
Think about they haven't lost the basketball game in 22 years
They are truly like that
It was funny
So funny in that first game we were playing Japan
And Japan's tallest player was 6'1
And team USA could legitimately put a lineup on the floor
Where the whole thing is 6'3, 6'4 taller
Brittany Griner, Alyssa Thomas, Nafisa Kalyan, Aja Wilson, Brianna Stewart
They can legitimately put a lineup on the floor
That is 6'3, 6'4 taller
And the Japanese tallest player was 6'1
It's just
You know the old thing where it's like man
The players of the world are catching up to the NBA players
They don't even have that discussion on the women's side
No they're not
We get it, you want a story for the men's side
We get it, we understand
Don't bring that nonsense over here
Because it's not even relatively close between the women and the men
Now I will say this
There was more dogfights this year than in times past
Definitely that
Team Germany gave team USA a scare on the women's side
Who were they?
Because the Netherlands?
I think it was the other team
Gave them a scare
It was a scrap up until lately
So it's not a situation where they're catching up
I think that they are more together
Because they get the chance to play together
Unless you're dropping in a WNBA player
Then your senior national team pretty much is already in your country
So unless you're dropping in a WNBA player
I'm sorry that's not a whole lot to adjust to
Even then it's running through a couple sets
So that's what's happening on the women's side
Aja Wilson and Brianna Stewart are just flat out unfair
Those are two best players in the W
Those two best female players in the world
Those two being on the same front court
It's fine in fact no one can do anything
Even when those two quote unquote struggle
They're still dominating their opponents
So that's a hard pill to swallow
Is that those two are balling
Now they've run into the best of their potential
And you're still getting punished
And on the men's side
Impressively the men got out of the group stage undefeated
Now the world is getting a lot closer to the USA men
Than they are to the USA women
However the problem with the world is that they're so spread out
Luka Dantzis plays for Slovenia
Janac Antsatokounmpo plays for Greece
Joel Embi plays for Team USA
Victor Wimbenyama plays for France
But who's he with? Rudy Gobert?
They don't have any guards
So the rest of the world may have a star here
Luka Dantzis playing for Serbia
The rest of the world may have a star here or a star there
But ultimately Team USA is expected to win the basketball tournament
Hell we invented the game
So 3-0 through group play
Now the other three top teams in the world
On the other side of the bracket
So there is a chance that
A. Team USA don't play anybody in the finals
But B. If you are Team USA men
You end up playing somebody with a grudge in the finals
What if it be Canada?
If they get to the finals they're going to be talking a whole lot
And trying to do something to get people's skin
So what if it be Canada?
That would probably be the one team that Team USA wouldn't want to see in an Olympic finals
Shifting over to Noah Lyles
So Noah Lyles is the track runner
Who came out
Was it right after the Celtics?
Right after somebody had won
And they asked him about it
He was like how could you be the world champion
If you never beat the entire world
Basically saying that the NBA doesn't play outside of its borders
So how can you be a world champion
And you don't play outside of the National Basketball Association
It's not like you're going to play teams in Spain
And teams in England
And teams in France
Because I didn't lose any of them
I'm the king of the world
No? No?
So that's going to be our discussion on Noah Lyles
So he gets an opportunity
He runs track of course
So there's an NBA Twitter hate watch basically
Like everybody is sitting there waiting on him to run the 100 meter
Because if he loses there's going to be a near infinite amount of slander
And in the closest race in my lifetime
I've never seen a track race closer
This is like when you hold out your hands
And there's a little kid you tell people to race
And they slap your hands
And you really don't know who slapped you first
Same concept
Noah Lyles was awarded the victory
Because his chest crossed the line
At 5 one hundredths of a second faster
Than it was closed
And he was locked out
Like any other decision, path, flight novel
Any of that barely made it
And so that is humongous pressure
He goes on and he wins by 5 one hundredths of a second
He's officially the fastest man in the world
He kind of backs out all the talk
He's been quite inspirational since then
But he's the fastest man in the world
So congratulations to Noah Lyles
Alright, so before we go
US Soccer is a joke
Just put it out there
US Soccer is awful
Now the women's side is really good
They play 5 matches, 4 wins, no loss and a draw
That's really really good
They're my pick every year to win
The gold is the women's US women's soccer team
The men?
Oh the men, pooh
We have to do something with the men in soccer
I don't know if it's bringing a man early
To where they are identified as first talent
At 10 to 12 years old
And now they're in this academy
Where they get to learn how to play
Senior national level soccer
I mean it's just bad
It was our first win in a match in the Olympics
It's like 04
And the women are like
Oh we had a down year, we got bronze
And it's like
You guys are like
We had an up year, we came in sixth
It's just
It's mind boggling
How bad the US soccer team is
Especially with the kind of resources
That we have at our disposal
But up next we're going to shift to the NFL
And talk about what's going down there
Welcome back to the show
And now we're going to discuss the NFL
It's training camp time
It's hope time
It's no matter how bad your team is
How many negative reports come out
Common sense
You're mad and raiding
People slandering you on Twitter for being a fan of the team
No matter what happens
Training camp time
Time to be hopeful
It is a time to have hope
It is a time to have little discernment
It is time to have all the best means
And read all the articles that you want to read
And it is just a time for an information overload
On the consumer
But along with the team
You know, if the team is being asked about a different report every day
It is a worn out time in this calendar
Like I said, it's just a period of hope
Mostly irrational
But you're hopeful
And so let's go through some training camp stuff that's happening now
Pittsburgh has a legitimate battle for QB1
Between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson
Russell Wilson is making, you know, $50-something-odd-a-million a year
But Russell Wilson is only costing Pittsburgh a couple of million
Because most of the contract is still being paid off using the dead money from a Denver Broncos
So financially they're under no major obligation to play him
Also, they sent a little compensation to the Bears and got Justin Fields
Because everybody in their grandma knew you kind of had to remove the returning quarterback to get the new guy in
And so because of which they gave Chicago basically nothing for Fields
Which again, same thing
I'm in no obligation to play him either
So because of which it allows you to have a true quarterback battle
Where you're not financially obligated, you're not tilted in the fact you have a returning starter
You don't have a locker room favor, you don't have a guy with a tape-ridden uniform
Like there's so many different things that usually a quarterback, quote-unquote, battle has that's behind the scenes
The GM doesn't care
He traded for one and signed another for cheap
The QB coach doesn't care
He was with the guy for 10 years and the guy made the QB coach and now he's up for all these other jobs
No one cares besides having a best guy on the field
And that is reportedly a very interesting battle
The rest of the team was sick for a couple of days, missed a couple of days
So Justin Fields stepped up and took first team reps
He looked pretty good
So that's one of the most intriguing QB battles in camp
Which is a rarity
Like I said, there's usually so many outside forces
It's hard to try to think of a big money quarterback like Deshaun Watson
For instance, it didn't matter how well the backup played
You can't trade Deshaun Watson, you can't cut him financially
And I'm not going to put $50 million on the bench
So he's the starter, you know what I'm saying?
But there's no financial obligation in Pittsburgh to play either guy
So the best guy will get the job
So that's going to be intriguing to watch through the preseason and through camp
Who becomes the week one starter?
I personally think of Russell Wilson
But Russell is a couple of bad quarters away from Justin Fields job and all
And I do think that's the one thing though that the Steelers are dancing with
You can go pretty easily from Wilson to Fields
Wilson starts, he's 2-2, starts the fifth game, it's kind of rough
You yank him, you go Fields, and it's Fields' show
It's hard to go from Fields to Wilson
Same scenario, except now Fields gets yanked and it's Wilson
You can't ever go back to Fields
Like the Fields experiment didn't work, now you're on the Russell Wilson thing
So I think that whenever you make the switch, you gotta switch it and you're stuck
I feel like once you put Fields in the game, Russell Wilson's time is over
Once you put Russ in the game, Fields' time is over
Once that person gets switched, it's hard to do
I just think that you'll get a lot more PR positivity going from Russ to Fields
Just as opposed to going from Fields to Russ
So I think that's something that is in the back of the mind of the Pittsburgh organization
So Mike Thomas usually doesn't want to care about the media things
Speaking of QBs, it doesn't matter because the financial situation is the Atlanta Falcons
Everyone's favorite NFL draft is officially in camp
Of course they have their two quarterbacks
They have the guy who they paid $150 million to in the offseason
And then subsequently dropped the age replacement two weeks later
A couple months later they subsequently dropped the age replacement in the first round
Top 10, I don't understand it either
But that's what they did
And again, it doesn't matter how good Michael Panix plays
Kurt Cousins owed a lot of money
Kurt Cousins is going to be the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons
Now, Kurt Cousins is also routinely, habitually the 10th best quarterback in football
Some guys go above, some guys come below
Kurt Cousins always ended up at 10
And I always say this, like man
People hear me say that and they go, man, he's not a T-Line
Kurt Cousins is the 10th best quarterback in the league
Kurt Cousins ain't top 10
And I always go, name 10 guys better
You start to falter at about 7 or 8
Then guys I know that are, I strongly believe are under, I just start naming them
And people go, no, Kurt, Kurt, Kurt
So I was like, okay, you get to a couple names you debate below
You get to a couple names you debate above
Right in the middle, name's your 10th
He's always the 10th best quarterback, it just is what it is
Even in the, I think in the Madden ratings he's 10th
When they did the top 100 players, I think he was like the 10th quarterback
Like, that is what it is, like he's the 10th best quarterback
So because you had a top 10 quarterback, turning around and drafting another quarterback is an interesting situation
But hey, they seem to be making it work
Reportedly Cousins is none too keen on helping the young fella
However, it is two years on the line for what even matters
Like, at the earliest it's two years from now
In the perfect final situation it's three years from now
You have to make a choice on Penny's his fifth year option
Without really seeing him play meaningful snaps
If the decision is to move on from Kurt Cousins after three years
So, that is something to keep your eye on there
Another dual-quarter situation, the New England Patriots
They have a few things going on, we'll kind of tackle them all at once
So they have a two-quarterback reported situation as well
Of course they went number three overall
Jarek May out of North Carolina
I have my concerns with him pre-draft
Most of which based on the video I've seen have been cleaned up
However, the New England Patriots also drafted a walking howitzer
Of a quarterback named Joe Milton III
I remember when Joe Milton was at Michigan
Man, that was a great game
He was so big and so physical
It looks like being big and intimidating in maize and blue just looks cooler
He was so big and so intimidating and throwing a country mile
Especially in that offense system where it was pro style
Where they had to run the ball 60% of the time
Out of too tight end
When he got those shot opportunities, he was letting it fly
But all the team moves on to Tennessee
He gets into the SEC up and down and gets a starter again
Some of the stuff he did not clean up in Michigan
Well, his trash just followed him to Tennessee
And now he's doing the same stuff in Tennessee
So because of which, because of this point
He falls in the draft much further than he should have
But he's into the Patriots as well
Now again, back to the reports
There are reports that are saying that Milton's outplaying May
I find that hard to believe throw for throw
Whatever
I do believe however there's been more wow moments with Joe Milton
Because people are saying that Drake May is Mac Jones reincarnated
There's nothing about Drake May besides being a white Caucasian male that is Mac Jones
He is more accurate than Mac Jones
He throws the ball a lot harder than Mac Jones
He has more natural arm strength than Mac Jones
He's more athletically gifted than Mac Jones
It's just again, Mac Jones is semi undersized, weaker arm, marginally athletic
Drake May is none of those things
The problem is he's usually standing beside a giant with a cannon who's athletic
And that's Joe Milton
So by comparison, yeah, it may be 75 yard pass versus a 55 yard pass
60 yard pass
60 yards is still impressive as heck
55 yards is still impressive as heck
But he's not 80
Joe Milton throw for ball 80 yards
When they were doing this warm up video
Drake May like flipped it
It goes like 20, 25 yard with a good arc
Milton flips it and it goes like 35 yards, moon ball
It's like there's just a level of arm talent you can't coach
So I think that there is, if I just never seen the practice footage
Just seeing the report and knowing the two players
I would say that it's probably not playing better
It's probably playing with more excitement, more wow, more pop
Because of the ability to run and again the absolute cannon
The absolute howitzer known as his right arm
Attached to his shoulder
Also New England Patriots land
Matthew Judon is still without a contract
There was a bunch of weird like hugging and walking off practice fields
And other stuff that is trying to bubble its way into the conversation
Regarding Matt Judon and his contract
But that is a situation that hopefully is resolved soon
Whether that is by trade or by agreeing to a contract
So hopefully that gets done too
Well ingrained in a contract extension
But going out wide
We're going to start East Coast and go West Coast
Brandon Malik neighbors
He looks legit
Like every pass I've seen from Nathan Jones looks off
But he looks absolutely legit
He looks like the kind of guy that when Burrow got chased
It looked like Burrow walked in the stadium differently
Like okay I got him
So where's the worst I got him
And the team got us
We're going to be A-R-I-E
We're going to be fine
Absolutely Malik neighbors is just
He's that guy
He's unquestioned
The number one receiver
He's A number one receiver in this league
And the dude is ridiculous
As far as the stuff we've been seeing out of camp
I mean he's so good
I made a joke to my friends
He may save Daniel Jones' job
He's that good
Where Daniel Jones made a couple of bad passes
And then neighbors make some crazy catch
And falls into the end zone
You know what I'm saying
Daniel Jones' job is saved
That is how much of a talent that young man is
We have a talented receiver and we're going to go to the west coast
So in the west coast there's a receiver named Brandon Iuke
Now he is seeking a resolution
I tweeted about this on Instagram etc
He is tweeting a resolution to his contract situation
Whether he gets paid again by the Niners
And this time market value he's looking at about 35ish
A year 33ish a year per reports
You know so he's looking to be fairly compensated for his production
Or he would like to be traded
To a situation that could fairly compensate his production
So the two teams that are in it now
Reportedly after the Steelers bow out
And the Steelers and the Ravens bow out
It is the Steelers and us
As far as
And by us I mean the Patriots
As far as landing Brandon Iuke
So both situations have the financial capital
Both situations have the draft pick
It will ultimately come down to Brandon Iuke's agent and the new team
Why these are that?
I can almost guarantee it
If I had to bet my life I wouldn't but I think about it
Iuke has been already in Iuke's camp
Has already been negotiating with teams regarding a contract for Iuke
When he lands on the wing
Like when he gets on the plane and passes a physical
Where is the contract we talked about?
Like that is how
Because it's a financially driven decision
So he's going to be looking for that contract the second he lands
Wherever he decides to go
So that is going to be something that
Is incredibly tough
To deal with for the 49ers is trying to make this work
Because at the same time
At the same time
That they're dealing with this they're dealing with Trent Williams too
So now back to the trade itself there's a double prong situation
So on the Cleveland Brown side reportedly it's Amara Cooper plus picks
Now Amara Cooper just guaranteed
A significant amount of his contract
The last two years of his deal is officially guaranteed
So unless the Niners agree to pay the guarantees off
It makes him being traded this year unlikely
The other team is the New England Patriots
Now reportedly their offer is Kenji Bourne plus picks
I would like it to be Kenji Bourne plus you just said
Schuster plus picks but hey everybody can't be choosy
And so that is what is going on there
With the Brand I.U. deal we'll keep you guys posted
On that whenever we are
And then of course there's been some big contracts
Handed out in the recent days
Just let me pull up the list
I have a relative list
I'm trying to figure out if I want to go back
Alright so Tyler Decker
Taylor Decker was the left tackle for the Lions
He signed three years $60 million with the Lions
Jordan Love got his back four years $220
With a $75 million signing bonus and $155 million guaranteed
Juleph Jibril Peppers and the New England Patriots went $30 million
The Seattle Seahawks and Julian Love went $36 million
DJ Moore and the Chicago Bears went $4.1 million with $82.6 million guaranteed
Devon Garshaw and the New England Patriots went $21 million with $16.5 million guaranteed
Tristan Wurst sets the record for the Office of Liming
He goes five years $140.63 million including $88.24 million guaranteed
He's the highest paid office of lineman ever
Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins renegotiate his contract that pays him
He gets basically three years $90 million with $65 million guaranteed
Harrison Bucker sets the record for Kickers
He goes four years $25.6 million with $17.75 million guaranteed
So that is the breakdown of the major contracts that have happened in the NFL over the past few weeks
I didn't get all of them but all of them are tweeted on the Just In Time for what social media is
Shout out to my new Instagram fans huge shout out to you guys
Glad that you are part of the Just In Time Sports family
But up next we're going to have Jack's hot take which is going to be about the WWE
Welcome back into the show
And now we're going to discuss Jack's hot take which is going to be about the WWE being cool again
And I mean really cool again
That was kinda like Triple H, Paul Lavesque who is like the COO of the company now
Basically the head man in charge
He said that wrestling is cool again like it is
The storylines were having like it's insane like SummerSlam was insane
As far as storytelling, long term storytelling, stuff being wrapped up, stuff being started
You had the, I mean ever since it's been a year long, year and a half long process of wrestling in year 39
You know Roman defeats Cody, then there's a year long story that ends up bringing The Rock back
And all these new Samoans and then Roman beats, Cody beats Roman, sends Roman off to the ether
The Rock goes back to Hollywood
And then now Cody's the man, but now there's all these new Samoans showing up, the Fatus, I'm sorry the Tungans
And then Jacob Fatu and then you get rid of Paul Heyman, Roman's gone, Roman's back at SummerSlam
His return has 100 million views in 24 hours or 48 hours which is more views than CM Punk or John Cena's return has on WWE socials
Some of the loudest pops I've ever heard in my life, for those who don't understand what a pop is in WWE, pops are like crowd reactions
So like when you have music hit the crowd yells, when you do something the crowd does it with you, like those are considered pops
So some of the loudest pops I've ever heard in my life
And it's just like, it's cool again, like people talk about it openly
It's almost like when you were a kid in WWE, we talk about it with your friends
But now it's like no, it's like active discourse on social media, people are talking about it in schools
Older kids are watching it, like it is something that adults are tuning in and having open conversations about it
It is something that was not possible two years ago
Like you know, and credit to all the people in WWE for sticking to it and battling their guns and fighting their cash cow and riding that cash cow
Until we get to this point, until he felt, you know, everybody felt comfortable enough that he could pass it on because it's stable
But then that cash cow returned and no one cared about anybody else
And it was funny, it was like when Roman was like seven years ago, and this is kind of off topic
But like seven years ago Roman was getting booed religiously and not because he was a heel, people just hated him
And then he goes away, he reinvents like this head of the table persona, people love to hate him
Then he's gone and everybody's like, he left everybody's like, oh my God, he's exactly what we always wanted
And now he's back as a baby face, I guess, he's back as a face or auntie face in order to try and take down his family and the rest of the blood
Like it's insane, right? Like the level of detail, level of storytelling, and it's just, and I can't wait to watch, right?
Like I cannot wait to tune in, there's all kinds of stuff happening, there's implosions happening, like it's wild to see
And like I said, it's WWE being cool again, it's fun again, pro wrestling is fun again, in the words of Paul Levesque
And I don't see it slowing down, they have the right engines behind it, they have the right machines behind it
They're making all kinds of deals, they're going to Netflix soon, in which everybody's saying they will not be censored when they go to Netflix
Like this is going to be drastically entertaining
So we'll see how long ago, I mean, it's the longest running weekly episodic show in history, but like Raw is
But shout out to everybody that's involved in WWE, those at the top, those at the bottom
Huge, huge momentum, hope they continue going
But that is all I have for today
