Transcript
00:00Welcome to TMZ Sports. I'm Mike Babcock with my guy Mojo Moutadi who I missed very much. Mojo,
00:12the Paris Olympics are in full swing and because of that there are a lot of athletes that are
00:19going for gold. And Mojo, we're going to start with a big one because Simone Biles and the United
00:26States women's gymnastics team won gold today, Tuesday morning in the team gymnastics competition.
00:35Mojo with the gold medal. Simone Biles who may very well be the most, the greatest gymnast that
00:41we have ever seen. She has now become the most decorated U.S. gymnast with eight medals. Mojo
00:48passing Shannon Miller, five of those medals being gold. Now this, and it always is, the gymnastics
00:56are one of the premier events and because of that you had a bunch of celebrities in the house
01:02including Serena Williams, Natalie Portman, Mojo and the one most important to Simone Biles,
01:10her Chicago Bears defensive back hubby Jonathan Owens who got a little break from training camp
01:18Mojo to fly across the world to Paris and to watch his wife compete. Here was Jonathan Owens today.
01:31Got the gold!
01:41You could hear him screaming Mojo, he was so pumped up. This obviously is the first time that he has
01:47been Simone's husband, first time getting to watch her compete in the Olympics and it was a pretty
01:53cool moment. Absolutely Babcock and the best part about this is that Chicago Bears' Jonathan Owens
01:59is not at training camp so hopefully the Bears will have a worse season for it. Go Pac Go!
02:06Hey no, what a cool thing I mean to be able to go to the Olympics especially again
02:12during training camp to have this opportunity. It just says a lot right about how important this is
02:19to you. Players do not miss camp. That's not a thing but I suppose when your special someone
02:25is competing for gold you get the one-time exception. This is huge. I mean winning the gold.
02:32Hey now while the U.S. is dominating the total medal count right now we have been a little light
02:39in the gold department you know for this Olympics so tightening the gap here so this was huge but
02:46I mean Simone Biles you look at her her career that she's had sitting out dealing with some
02:52issues earlier and then coming back and putting on a performance like that my goodness the world
02:59was ready for this and she totally dominated. So awesome to see and I have a feeling she's
03:06just getting started. Mojo as a former football player as a guy who has been a part of an NFL
03:12training camp do you have an issue if you're a teammate of Jonathan Owens the fact that he's not
03:17there I mean look it's his first year with the Bears. He doesn't know his teammates that well
03:23yet let's be honest do you have a problem with him not being in training camp and being across
03:27the world I should say watching the Olympics any issue? No absolutely not I mean she's literally
03:33going for gold representing the entire country he's not missing games right he's not missing a
03:39playoff game or a Super Bowl as if the Chicago Bears would ever make it to one it's just camp
03:45and it's the beginning of camp so you totally get a pass I mean look if you're Travis Kelsey and
03:50you're going to one of Taylor Swift's 100 concerts that she has in probably like a two-month period
03:58yeah then maybe that's a bit more of an issue you start to question motives and start to
04:03you know really analyze what's more important to a person but this
04:07is the Olympics and again it's just practice right now it's so early no issues whatsoever
04:13and obviously he's there for a reason it doesn't seem that any of his teammates
04:16or coaches have an issue with it either.
