-United hosted Lyon (Ligue One) in Edinburgh and beat them 1-0 in a club friendly. The Red Devils will head to the US now as part of the Premier League Tour with 5 other clubs. -One of those, Chelsea, is in Chapel Hill tonight to take on Wrexham. I’d say that Wrexham is the defacto home side, but Chelsea has a unique relationship with youth leagues in North Carolina and I kind of feel like they’re going to get the majority of the supporters. -Women’s World Cup starts in the middle of the night tonight with the US women playing on Friday night at 9 pm (no clue what time or day it will be in Auckland) against Vietnam. -North Carolina FC will host Sunderland from the EFL Championship (Spent about a decade in the PL before being relegated in consecutive years down to League One, but two years ago bumped back up and last season reached the promotion playoffs so this should be fun. Sunderland has only been playing football since 1890… -And, it’s Lionel Messi week…. Not sure if we’re about to see an uptick in offensive linemen tweeting about how disrespected they are as a group, but Dallas’ Zach martin is considering a hold out because he feels like he’s underpaid. -$11 million cap hit this year and his $14 m annual value is 8th among guards in the league….former BC OG Chris Lidstrom is first at $21…Quentin Nelson from Indy is second at $20m Everything yesterday seemed to be about Saquon Barkley and his situation with the Giants. -didn’t sign for $10m -Wants long term deal and wants to be in NJ -In addition, there is another factor and this this is why so many running backs have been upset about this… Not that this is just about the NFL’s New Jersey teams, but there’s a reason why the NFL wanted the Jets on Hard Knocks…. -Incidentally, the Jets will not make this easy. They’ve said that they will not show players being cut because it’s inhumane! -We all know why the Jets are the fascination….Aaron Rodgers….Super Bowl or Bust???? Martin Slumber of the R&A is not ruling out accepting investments from the PIF in the future…

This Week on the Podcast: The landscape in baseball has certainly changed after the trade deadline, with the Phillies surging and four teams in the AL East are at 10 games over .500 or more, and the Cubs trading away their core players. John outlines the impacts of arguably the most dramatic sports trade deadline in recent memory from two weeks ago. Plus, John focuses and chimes in on four stories in NFL training camps as preseason games for most of the league get underway: Dak Prescott and Mike McCarthy's comments on HBO's "Hard Knocks" season premiere, star quarterback Josh Allen signing a new six year contract extension last week, how the Chicago Bears should manage their quarterback situation, and why Colts fans should be optimistic and feel relieved about early returns from injury for quarterback Carson Wentz and All-Pro left guard Quentin Nelson. Then, John discusses the Russell Westbrook to the Lakers trade, and the Knicks beefing up their roster by retaining several key free agents and adding ex-Celtics Kemba Walker and Ryan Fournier.

The NFL Live crew discusses Melvin Gordon's demands for a new contract. Plus, a recap of the ESPYs.
A major injustice has occurred in the NFL this past week. Rookie offensive lineman Quentin Nelson was docked almost $27,000 because he made an incredible block. Way to go NFL, way to continue making bone-headed decisions. All frustration aside, we talk about the current state of the NFL and what we think that future holds for Le'veon Bell.
Matt Waldman's RSP Cast has Matt Bitonti (@DraftDaddy) on the show for an in-depth discussion about NFL offensive lines heading into the 2018 season. Whether you're a student of the game or a fantasy player — especially a fantasy player — you cannot ignore offensive line play if you're seeking knowledge that will help you understand the game. I'll be having several knowledgeable offensive line analysts on the show in the future, but I invited Matt Bitonti at this early stage of the podcast because there's a lot that I like about his grading process for these units. First, Bitonti factors cohesion into the process where many analysts only grade players separately. Second, Bitonti grades the units weekly with the expectation of growth. For example, he's not trying to project in his July rankings where the Colts will be by season's end if Quentin Nelson plays to expectation. Instead, his rankings reflect what he's seeing as a present snapshot of the unit. He may explain his future expectation but he's not ranking predictively. Bitonti saves that analysis for Footballguys subscribers in a weekly article with Justis Mosqueda about trench matchups between offensive and defensive lines. This week's podcast features a productive and insightful discussion with Matt about offensive lines as a unit and previews where these various NFL units stand at this point of the year: What makes a good offensive line? How does Matt evaluate offensive line play as a unit? Who were some of the best lines last year according to his system? Who were among the worst? Which lines does Matt expect improvement? Which lines does Matt expect a decline in performance? Detailed thoughts on nearly half of the units in the league from top to bottom. Why the right tackle is often a good indicator of ground game performance. You can find Bitonti's analysis at Footballguys.

Notre Dame's Trevor Ruhland finds himself behind NFL prospect, Quentin Nelson at left guard. Trevor could be in the mix at the right guard position but most likely will play sparingly this year with a chance to make a push once the starters move on.
