00:00And that's where we'll begin here on the show today with some football.

00:07We'll go off the field, though, to begin.

00:08For those of you who are waiting to get your check from the NFL or from DirecTV for buying

00:14NFL Sunday ticket, well, I think you're going to have to wait a little bit longer for some

00:19reparations there because a judge has ruled that the jury did not act appropriately when

00:25they deemed the NFL was not in compliance with how much money they charged to people

00:30who purchased NFL Sunday ticket through the years via DirecTV, very specifically.

00:36Subscribers against the NFL said that the NFL did not do the right thing.

00:41They charged too much.

00:42They had a monopoly.

00:43But apparently, this U.S. District Judge, Phillip Gutierrez, made the remark saying

00:47that the jury did not understand the final reparations in terms of what they ruled and

00:53he may order a brand new trial because the eight-person jury came up with its own calculation

00:59for damages.

01:00So if you're looking for your mailbox or you're looking for your direct deposit to get a few

01:03hundred dollars back from your purchasing Sunday NFL ticket in, let's say, 2013, I don't

01:10think that's going to happen anytime soon.

01:12Stay tuned.

01:13All right.

01:14Paige Beckers, congratulations to her.

01:15How about this new NIL deal that she gets from Women's Basketball?

01:18I mean, this is just incredible.

01:20Think about this.

01:21She's the first NCAA athlete to receive ownership equity in a league.

01:26Beckers is expected to play in Unrivaled, which is a new league that allows players

01:31to have a share in the ownership.

01:33She's also going to play in the WNBA as well.

01:36So she'll have 10 to 15 percent ownership, which is what the pool is allowing.

01:40And essentially, there's a league cap for the 30 players, and that'll be about $7.5

01:45million and an average of $250,000.

01:48So Paige Beckers and some others cashing in, getting ownership of a new league, again,

01:52called Unrivaled.

01:53But again, still will play in the WNBA.

01:55All right.

01:56Venue Sports makes a big announcement.

01:57For those of you who are sick of streaming sports and paying for extra services, this

02:00story is not going to make you feel any better, because here's another one.

02:03Venue is a sports streaming platform through ESPN, Fox, Warner Brothers, and Discovery.

02:10The cost, $42.99.

02:12They will launch in the fall.

02:14It's being considered by some to be the equivalent of Hulu for sports.

02:19It'll include the NFL, the NBA, baseball, hockey, WNBA, NASCAR.

02:25And then if you're like me, you forget to cancel, or you don't even know how many subscriptions

02:28you have.

02:29I'm just not signing up for any new subscriptions right now.

02:31I got to keep it to a minimum.

02:33I need like a list somewhere to keep what I bought.

02:37I don't need a list to know what's going on at the Olympics, my producer Frank tells me.

02:40So this is pretty simple.

02:41Right now, Carlos Alcaraz comes back with a huge win at the Olympics in tennis.

02:45He was down 2-5 in the second set to Tommy Paul, and ends up reaching the semifinals.

02:49He'll play for a medal tomorrow, 11-match winning streak at Roland Garros as well.

02:54He's got that going on.

02:55Also, Lorenzo Mussetti beat Alexander Zverev.

03:00This just happened as well.

03:01Zverev, by the way, won the gold back in 2021.

03:03Keep an eye out later this afternoon for El Costa Coast 3 o'clock for more announcements

03:07there.

03:08Spytek loses this morning to Qin Wengjiang in the semifinals.

03:13Spytek was minus 250 to win the gold.

03:15She will not win it.

03:16It's the first loss for her since Roland Garros in 2021.

03:20Zhang has an opportunity from China to capture the gold, which would be incredible.

03:25I mean, this generally does not happen for their country, so congratulations to them.

03:29Also, Leon Marchand completed one of the most incredible doubles in swimming history on

03:34Wednesday night.

03:35200-meter butterfly, and then the 200-meter breaststroke about two hours apart at the

03:40Paris Games.

03:41I mean, two different competitions here, and two different strokes, and two Olympic records,

03:48and also two gold medals.

03:50So people are comparing Marchand to Michael Phelps, and I think that's fair at this point.

03:55He's had a great run.

03:56So has Katie Ledecky, eighth Olympic gold medal of her career, 12th medal overall with

04:01a runaway victory in the 1,500-meter freestyle Wednesday at the Paris Games.

04:05She also confirmed after the race she ain't going to retire.

04:08She wants to compete in LA in a few years, and she's only 27, so why not?

04:13So she ties fellow Americans Dara Torres, you heard her, Natalie Coughlin, and Jenny

04:17Thompson for the most medals ever by a female swimmer.

04:20Ledecky said that she doesn't care about history, so we'll just give it to her here.

04:25Top 20 times ever in women's 1,500-meter freestyle.

04:28I mean, it's kind of funny that we made this graphic, because you could just see how many

04:32times that she's done it.

04:33One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, the eighth fastest yesterday.

04:37And then I guess we have another graphic that's going to show you nine through 20.

04:41Did we emphasize the point here just how many times she has been able to win and has swum

04:48faster than anybody else?

04:49I think you got that there.

04:51All right.

04:52So now the other story that's percolating from the Olympics, among others, as you may

04:56have heard, has been this Canadian women's soccer team that's been penalized for spying

05:02on another.

05:03In fact, their coach is out, and they were docked points in the Olympics.

05:06But that has not stopped them.

05:07They continue to win.

05:08So keep an eye on this story as we go, too.

05:11Vanessa Giles is on Team Canada, scored the 62nd minute, and Canada wins one to nothing

05:17over Colombia.

05:18And now they're in the quarterfinals in Paris.

05:20Again, they've lost six points in the tournament because of the drone that they flew over to

05:25beat New Zealand.

05:26They probably didn't even need to do it anyway.

05:28But regardless, Bev Priestman is out.

05:30Team Canada rolls on.

05:32As far as on the basketball court for Team USA, there were 30-point favorites yesterday.

05:37There was never any opportunity for them to cover that spread, if you watched it, although

05:41the game did go under the total of 191.

05:43103 to 86 yesterday, Team USA beat South Sudan, and they're 2-0 in Olympic play.

05:51And now they're in the quarterfinals.

05:53The bench had 66 points for them.

05:55Joel Embiid, by the way, never got off the bench.

05:57Jason Tatum ended up playing in the starting lineup.

06:00Bam Adebayo had a big game off the bench, 18 points, 8-for-10 shooting.

06:04The U.S. men still the favorite to win the gold.

06:07As far as this three-on-three men's competition, I don't know if you've seen this.

06:11This is new to the Olympics.

06:14It's a three-on-three tournament.

06:15Team USA is just not faring pretty well here.

06:18Jimma Ferdet, who is the lead of that team, they end up losing 19-7 to Poland on Wednesday

06:24night.

06:25They're 0-2 in this three-on-three play.

06:28Also, Coco Gauff is now out of the Olympics.

06:30She lost in the women's doubles and mixed doubles at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday.

06:35And really, really tough run for her.

06:37She said, quote, at the end of the day, it's over 20 years old, she'll take the positive

06:40out of it.

06:41Still very young.

06:42Coco Gauff can compete in L.A. in four years.

06:44Also, Simone Bas, on the other hand, she decided to jump back into the Olympics again.

06:48And boy, that has gone well.

06:50There's a chance that she can aim for the gold later today.

06:54So we'll see what happens.

06:55Keep an eye on her on the mat.

06:57And she'll compete in the gymnastics all-around final.

07:00And eight years ago, she earned the gold.

07:01And here she is, eight years later, competing again.

07:04Over in Major League Baseball, Jackson Holliday recalled by the Baltimore Orioles.

07:08They placed Jordan Westberg on the injured list.

07:10And Holliday ended up hitting his first career home run.

07:12It was a grand slam in the game for the O's yesterday.

07:15He almost hit a second home run as well.

07:17Westberg, by the way, was hit by a 95-mile-an-hour fastball in the fifth inning.

07:20He's going to be out for an extended period of time.

07:22You would imagine Holliday is not going to go down now anytime soon.

07:26They just traded one of their other infielders to Miami.

07:29Jack Flaherty, there was a lot of teams interested in him at the trade deadline.

07:32L.A. was the one who made the deal.

07:34Apparently, there were some imaging issues, some medical issues.

07:37But that didn't stop the Dodgers from acquiring him.

07:39Some other teams, not so much.

07:41Clayton Kershaw, by the way, had a streak of 432 regular season starts with one strikeout come to an end.

07:46He's just coming back off injury.

07:48The Padres ended up winning that game 8-1.

07:50Over to the National Football League.

07:52A new contract for an offensive lineman.

07:55The guy who used to protect Tom Brady is now protecting Baker Mayfield and their quarterback.

07:59It's Tristan Wirfs.

08:00A five-year deal, $140 million contract extension for the highest-paid offensive lineman in football.

08:06Jonah Jackson for the Rams was hurt yesterday in practice.

08:09And no word on how long he'll be out.

08:12We'll know later today.

08:12They're on the West Coast.

08:14NFL game tonight, Houston Texans, Chicago Bears.

08:17It is the Hall of Fame game.

08:19Houston's a slight favorite.

08:20If you bet on it, you're crazy, but just go right ahead and don't tell them I told you so.

08:24Gordon Hayward fires in the NBA after 14 NBA seasons.
