Which Teams Will Make Noise Before MLB Trade Deadline Tomorrow? Too Much, Too Soon As NFL QB’s Get Paid! TNT Duped By NBA? Early Olympic Storylines! Feeling Blue After FL Trip?

I’m honored to welcome in a new partnership to the podcast. Are you familiar with OLIPOP soda?  Please go to www.drinkolipop.com, use promo code JAYREELZ for 15% off of your purchase.

Good to be home, although I was feeling blue on Friday, I’ll unpack that and everything that’s taking place in the world of sports. On deck:

(2:53) Back in the New York groove at the home studio as opposed to the lovely back drop of palm trees and greenery of Florida. I’ll deliver some details of my trip to Florida at the end of the podcast.

(3:21) I have to mention the good folks at OLIPOP. Please see promo above.

(5:17) Baseball’s trade deadline is tomorrow at 6pm. Teams are searching for reinforcements in order to qualify for postseason play. There have already been some big moves to date (Phillies get closer Carlos Estevez & OF Austin Hays. Yankees acquire Jazz Chisholm. Orioles obtain Zac Eflin, Siranthony Dominguez & Cristian Pache. Mariners trade for Randy Arozarena and the Mets pickup Ryne Stanek and Jesse Winker) What other key players are still out there for the taking? Will other teams get involved in any last minute transactions? I’ll take a peek at the latest in the division and wild card races as the dog days of August are almost here.

(37:13) It must be nice to be a quarterback in the NFL. Two more guys get signed to enormous contract. Dolphins signed Tua Tagovailoa to the richest contract in the history of the franchise. While the Packers get Jordan Love to sign on the dotted line. Was this too much money for a QB that’s been injured with concussions in the past? Or a guy that only has one year of starting experience? It’s an interesting commentary on the state and market of what the cost of the QB is in 2024?

(44:30) TNT is looking to get back into the new media deal signed by the NBA where the network was left out. Warner Bros./Turner Media certainly has something to say about it as they may take this to court as they felt they were grossly misinterpreted of their contractual rights. How will this play out when it’s all said and done?

(47:37) One major signing in the NHL wasn’t much of a surprise. The Flyers and Travis Konecny have agreed to an eight year deal.

(48:34) I have a few interesting takeaways from the first two days of the Summer Olympics in Paris. How hurt is Simone Biles’s leg? Will anyone care about Novak Djokovic vs. Rafael Nadal? US Men’s Basketball Team rolls over Serbia, but how come Jayson Tatum didn’t play? Will NBA Rookie of the Year and France’s own Victor Wembanyama carry them deep into a medal game performance?

(55:10) Always transparent and accountable as I missed out on Saturday’s latest UFC matchup.

(56:23) I wrap up with sharing the rest of my trip to Florida, this time in Miami, which brought me home feeling a certain type of way.
