50. JusT&T Married, Jonathan Cooper's Case Escalates, and Baker Mayfield Draws a Line in the Sand

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521851/fan_mail/new] PICK SIX: TAYLOR & TRAVIS TIE THE KNOT, JONATHAN COOPER'S CASE ESCALATES, AND BAKER MAYFIELD DRAWS A LINE IN THE SAND Victoria is broadcasting from Miami for the first time — new apartment, new city, same Pick Six energy. This week: the wedding of the decade, an engagement that's been a long time coming, a beef that's either staged or very real, an assault case working through Douglas County Court, Tyreek Hill's murky 2026 outlook, and three contract situations worth watching before training camp opens. Listen for the full breakdown. Show notes and timestamps below. In this episode (00:00) Miami, at last. A year of recording from hotel rooms, Buffalo, Hawaii, and her mom's house ends with Victoria finally on the ground in her own Miami apartment — plus training camp tickets for both coasts. (02:47) Story 1: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married. The July 3rd Madison Square Garden wedding, officiated by Adam Sandler — a Happy Gilmore 2 friendship come full circle. Taylor in Christian Dior haute couture (reportedly Dior's first-ever bridal haute couture). No bridesmaids or groomsmen; Austin Swift and Jason Kelce stood as man of honor and best man. Over 1,000 guests, zero phones, and a guest list that doubled as an NFL WAG roll call: Brittany Mahomes, Kelly Stafford, Camille Kostek, Anna Zemmer, Claire Kittle, Sierra, Maddie Major, Emily Mayfield, and Samantha McAfee. Simone Biles claps back at the internet for doubting she and Taylor even know each other. And the NFL's conspicuous silence on the wedding — will Vogue get there first? (11:43) Story 2: Brooklyn Adams and Amon-Ra St. Brown are engaged. The Game's second-ever guest and the woman running the St. Brown Foundation is officially becoming a St. Brown. A win for the Lions' notoriously tight-knit WAG circle. (11:43) Story 3: Jaden Daniels vs. Brandon Ayuk. A World Cup heckle, a "mama's boy" callout tied to Daniels' mom-slash-agent Regina, a mutual unfollow, and an "I'll run it 5-on-5" Instagram taunt. Insiders are split on whether it's a real rift or a trolling bit — bad optics either way for an unsigned free agent. (15:36) Story 4: Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper faces a felony assault charge. Two arrests in one week, conflicting accounts of a domestic violence incident, a forensic exam documenting a choking injury, and a consolidated felony case. Cooper was released on personal recognizance bond July 3rd with a strict no-contact order; a disposition hearing is set for July 24th. The Broncos have excused him from mandatory minicamp but haven't taken a public stance. Victoria's take: the league's fines don't match the severity, and it's time for real accountability. (18:57) Story 5: Tyreek Hill's 2026 is a question mark. Still rehabbing multiple torn knee ligaments and a dislocated knee, still unsigned, and without a team to manage the injury narrative for him. A 2026 season on the field is looking less likely by the week. (22:46) Contract watch: Pickens, Lamar, Mayfield, and Hopkins. George Pickens signs his $27.3M franchise tag and reports to minicamp — holdout over. Lamar Jackson's restructured deal pushes $84.49M to 2027, and owner Steve Bisciotti wants an extension done before free agency, but nothing's signed. Baker Mayfield is pushing for $50M/year and has drawn his own line: a deal by July 30th or negotiations wait until after the season — no holdout regardless. And DeAndre Hopkins is taking his time, naming Joe Burrow as a dream QB and drawing rumored interest from the Bengals, Vikings, Chiefs, and Commanders. Fantasy football fans: pre-sign-ups for The Game's all-women fantasy league drop in the coming weeks. League reopens in August with new features.
