It is! The JR Sportbrief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Happy Wednesday to you.
I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. This is when the show gets started.
Every single weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. Thank you to our producer holding it down for us tonight in New York City, Jack Carty. And thank you to you for listening.
Because if you're not here, there is no show. And it is Wednesday, so we got a lot to discuss. We got a lot to talk about. So much news about quarterbacks and who's ready, who's healthy, who's not playing, who's rolling, who got benched, who's injured. I'm going to give you a top six list in two hours of NFL quarterbacks that by the time we get to the end of this year, I think they're cooked. We'll do that two hours from now.
How about next hour? We'll have a conversation with Stewart Mandel from The Athletic. We got some other news. Eli Manning. You can turn the music up. I like the music. There we go.
Thank you very much. We're going to talk about Eli Manning. We got a full list of players nominated for the first time to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Eli Manning always a controversial subject. We're going to get into that. Justin Herbert, how is he feeling? Got an ankle injury, did not practice today. John Gruden, trying to make his way back into coaching, gave an exclusive interview with CBS.
We'll talk about that later on in the show. PGA and Liv got a deal going on, or maybe they don't. And then we even got news earlier today, earlier this morning. We got a basketball news break.
I don't know what the hell else to call him, a reporter, a journalist, whatever he calls himself. He's gone. Woj is gone. Adrian Wojcickowski is gone.
A lot of phones will be silent for the next, God only knows how long. This man is deciding to be a general manager of a college basketball program where he went to school, St. Bonaventure. Who would have thought? We got general managers at schools now? Okay, fine, whatever. New era, new time, new day. And somebody else to get a paycheck.
He's leaving a lot of money on the table to do so. Listen, if you want to participate in the show, it's easy. The phone number is here.
It works. The bills have been paid, as far as I know. The phone number is 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. You can also find me. I'm online. I am everywhere, all over the place. I am at a JR Sport Brief, whether it be on X, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, whatever the hell exists.
You can go ahead and find me there. Jack Cardi, how are you on this Wednesday? I'm doing well, JR. How about yourself? I'm alright. I got nothing to complain about. Thank you for being here. Appreciate you. You ready to roll? I'm ready to rock and roll.
Yeah, you're here. I came to work. And somebody early this morning, I just mentioned to you, he decided to, I guess you could say he quit his job.
He left $20 million on the table. His name is Adrian Wojcickowski. This man has been at ESPN since 2017.
Feels longer than that, doesn't it? Because before he was at ESPN, he was at Yahoo. And this man has made an entire living out of being a PR machine for NBA teams and agents. That's it.
Nothing else. We got to get some news out. It goes to him. This man has made relationships, enough so that NBA teams trust him to use him and he in turn used them to disseminate information before anybody else, especially in the new world that we live in, the social media world that we live in. Woj became a big deal on the internet. A matter of fact, when the news broke earlier this morning, I want you to listen to this out in St. Bonaventure.
I'll get to that in a minute. That's where he's going next. On WIVB-TV, this is the news that broke. We have what they call a Woj bomb this afternoon. Longtime ESPN, NBA reporter and St. Bonaventure alum Adrian Wojcickowski is returning to Olean. The school announced this morning he will become the new general manager of the Bonnie's men's basketball program.
In this role, Wojcickowski will help the program with NIL opportunities, the transfer portal, recruiting and fundraising. It's crazy. You got a guy who didn't pick up a basketball, a guy who doesn't throw a football. Guy doesn't throw a baseball is probably the biggest story in sports today. Just because of the world that we live in, just because technology, everybody is tethered to their phones. And Adrian Wojcickowski, he was the guy always tethered to his phone, sharing the information. I'm not surprised he decided to call it quits. We've heard over the past couple of years, he's like, oh, man, one day I want to toss my phone out into the ocean. It's like, yeah, we get it. This man is going east coast, west coast.
He has to deal with everything from the Boston Celtics to the Los Angeles Lakers and everything in between. And is that that that race, especially nowadays on social media, it doesn't matter whether you're posting content, reposting content, sharing of video, sharing news, reacting to stuff. You have to be first, especially with the news.
You got guys like like Shams and Wojcickowski, who's going to be first? It's annoying after a while, right? I couldn't imagine having a job where you're just racing the dude for news. I mean, if it makes you happy, then God bless you.
Adrian Wojcickowski was a man of his 50s. Put out a whole statement saying, I'm sick of doing this, sick of it. You put on social media earlier today. I've decided to retire from ESPN in the news industry. I understand the commitment required in my role, and it's an investment that I'm no longer driven to make.
Time isn't an endless supply, and I want to spend mine in ways that are more personally meaningful. He's sick of picking up the phone. I saw a photo of this man at the beach standing on a boardwalk in California. Phone in his hand.
Everybody else just enjoying the beach. This man is in his phone. You don't think this man had the phone on all day? You don't think he went out with his family with the phone in his hand? I don't blame him for calling it quits. This guy was so tethered to his phone when he finally got to ESPN and he became a part of the studio shows and the draft coverage. He would sit on the stage during the NBA draft, excuse me, and he would share the picks via social media online before ESPN, who, by the way, is paying for the draft, before ESPN, his own his own brand, his own company, paying him before they shared it on TV. I mean, he actually had a whole conversation about this.
He sat down with Ryan Rossillo and he said, listen, man, sharing the draft picks. You're right. I'm not going to do that anymore.
Listen to this. You know, I found it has it's funny you ask that going from Yahoo to ESPN and sort of seeing what the responsibility is on the broadcast and feeling like I probably not probably I need to be more fully engaged in the show. I'm not doing the picks this year. Now, that doesn't mean, yeah, at the top of the draft, if all of a sudden something we're tapping at two or three.
Yes. But the pick by pick, I don't think it has value anymore for me or for ESPN. Yeah, I think ESPN told them as much. Do you know how much money we're paying the NBA billions? We are paying to broadcast the NBA draft and you are sitting on your phone scooping us of what we're paying for. Stop it. Yeah, just talk about the draft. We don't need you sharing the results on social media.
We should take the money out of your salary. We're paying for this. What are you doing? And is there a place for this?
Yeah. The people who want to be connected, they need to know everything at every minute, every second. The news breaks. They have to know what's going on.
Woeshop delivered that. Shams is probably now going to take it over. Is anybody going to rise into that space? I don't know. Maybe in a year, a couple of years. Who knows?
I don't know. This man was in a space where he just had to always be on. This is the biggest news breaker in the NBA. This alert pops up on your phone and it's just like, whoa, OK, there it is. There's some information that I absolutely needed to know right now, that minute, that second. Welcome to the Internet over the past 10 years. You could not have a Shams.
You could not have a whoosh. Outside of the past almost 10, 15 years, the technology didn't exist. It did not used to be like this. You got it over the radio. You got it on television, on the news. Maybe you got it in the newspaper the next morning. Maybe you got a late edition of the newspaper.
Maybe you were lucky to get it in the evening. Word of mouth on the telephone. Not no cell phone, but the actual telephone hooked up to the wall.
But having cell phones and technology, I mean, dammit, it gave me a job. I started the J.R. sport reef show online. I want to be no news breaker like these guys. Endless, thankless job.
Always on. Not surprised that he left. And the world is so connected now, the man would have to break news online and then immediately hop on television to talk about it and dissect it.
Want to talk about being worked into the ground? You have to break news like this, like last year. And this didn't work out well for the Milwaukee Bucks.
My apologies to all of our wonderful listeners in Milwaukee. But when he had the go on ESPN, the man broke the news online on Twitter. And then all of a sudden we get the famous sports center. Whoosh.
Listen to this. Key news from the NBA. Adrian Wojnarowski is the man behind the news. Damian Lillard from Portland to Milwaukee. Woj, give us the details and all the players involved in this trade. Jay, blockbuster deal that lands the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Attenta-Cupo, all NBA guard Damian Lillard. It's a three team trade that brings Lillard to the Bucks. And it didn't work out, by the way, unless you forgot. Damian Lillard showed up being in the worst shape of his life.
Anyway, good luck to the Milwaukee Bucks as they get older. The fact of the matter is there's nobody, nobody who's who's a robot. Nobody. The man has been doing this at least with ESPN since twenty seventeen. Here's the breaking news. Got to be first.
Here's the tweet. Got to be first. Here's the trade. Have to be first. Here's the draft pick.
Have to be first. At what point do you just let your brain relax? Woj said enough is enough. And so what is he doing? He's going to be a general manager. At St. Bonaventure, the man has made enough money over the past 15, 16, 17 years, 20 years.
I say I'm done not doing this anymore. Most of our listeners probably have no idea where St. Bonaventure is. It's in western New York, south of Buffalo and Rochester and everything that's out there.
Shout out to our listeners out in Rochester. And so he's going to utilize his resources. He's going to utilize his contacts and with brands and sponsors to help out the school that he graduated from in 1991. Who says that you can't go home?
Adrian Wojcickowski just did. And he left 20 million dollars, 20 million dollars on the table to do so. No, I know damn well St. Bonaventure is not paying him 20 million dollars. I'm sure he's getting a nice check, maybe a couple of mil over a couple of years, a bunch of years. No, he's not going there to work for free. But who says you can't go home?
And if you are Wojcickowski, if you should choose, as long as he is not too far removed from the space. He can always go back into breaking news. He can always go back and be an analyst. He can always go back to television or he could just relax and live his life in western New York.
Go on a vacation, hang out with his family, put his phone down, step away from social media. It's actually a good thing from time to time. Congratulations to Wojcickowski. Never met the guy. I think I've heard he's not that nice of a guy. That's just what I've heard. It could be wrong. What do I know? And just good luck.
Just go do what the hell you want in life. Because I know I know it sounds crazy. Everybody wants money. But there comes a point in time. I think we've all heard this. Get ready for the cliche. Get ready for it. Get ready for it. It can't always buy you happiness.
I know he got a lot of it in the bank. You don't got to worry about it. There comes a point in time where you just you just want to be happy. Me, him leaving, don't care.
Doesn't matter to me. I don't want my phone going off. I don't want an alert. The phone goes off for enough. How many alerts and breaking news and e-mails and texts?
How many can you have before you just want to jump out the window? I'm not missing nothing from Wojcickowski. I didn't need to find out his news instantaneously. Five minutes doesn't hurt me.
Finding out five minutes later. Good luck to him in his retirement from news breaking. And good luck at St. Bonaventure. And let's see if he can help Coach Schmidt. You know, I don't know. Turn things around.
They were a good winning team last year. Maybe he's going to recruit some guys. Maybe he's going to send some guys to the NBA. He'll help out the school. He'll be fine.
Just be weird not hearing his name. Congratulations, Shams. I guess it's all your space now. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network speaking of college next hour. We're going to talk to someone who is the editor in chief and senior columnist for all things college football with the athletics. Stewart Mandel is going to join us next hour.
Of course, I told you it's Wednesday. I'm going to bring you a top six list. There's so many quarterbacks. Guys getting hurt. Guys are getting benched. I'm going to talk about some quarterbacks that by the end of the year, I think these guys are cooked with their current teams.
I'm going to share that top six list with you in two hours. Shohei Ohtani is still trying to chase some history here, trying to become the first 50-50 player. The WNBA is going to be adding a new team. Live and PGA are trying to figure out a working relationship.
I don't know if they ever will. Eli Manning trying to make his way into the Hall of Fame. What's the latest health update on Justin Herbert into a Tonga Veloa? We got a lot to do. You want to talk to me? It's simple. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. We're just getting started. Happy Wednesday.
It's time to get you over the hump. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network.
It is the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Learn that one of the biggest news breakers in the world of sports decided to call it quits. He's sick of his phone. He's sick of the news.
He's sick of racing to be first. Adrian Wojcickowski's like, I'm going back to college. He's going to be the general manager at the school that he graduated from in 1991.
St. Bonaventure. He's moving on. He's leaving $20 million on the table at ESPN. That's how it is. Hey, Jack, you ever you ever left money on the table to do something? You just get every bit of it. I just get every bit of it. I don't know if I could walk away from that.
OK. Yeah, absolutely. We don't know how much he has in the bank, but oh, I'm sure he's happy and he'll be able to afford a meal. Speaking of leaving money, let's get this out the way. I saw this story and I just had to go, OK, not a shock, not a surprise. You don't have to be a golf fan to have maybe heard of the story of live golf and in the Saudi Public Investment Fund, their investment into creating live golf, how they have pilfered some of the PGA Tour's best golfers and some of the contracts that they've given out have been astronomical.
Live golf launched in June of twenty twenty one. And outside of some of the ethical concerns, be a Saudi Arabia being involved in and funding and creating this league. The money was nuts.
How about this? You had guys like Jon Rahm. He is making three hundred million dollars lured by the Saudi money. Phil Mickelson gotten a little bit of trouble, maybe a lot of trouble by even admitting, yeah, who cares if they're bad guys?
I'm going to take the money. PGA, maybe this will make them get their act together. Phil Mickelson, two hundred million dollars. Brooks Koepke, one hundred and thirty million dollars. Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, one hundred and twenty five million dollars to say goodbye to the PGA and say hello to live golf. Now, live golf, did it have the best distribution on TV?
No. The CW network, I think that lasted like a week. Then the next thing you know, it's just streaming on YouTube.
OK, all right. And so you have to you have a fractured you have a fractured league. Imagine if the NFL and we've seen this in the past with scabs and new leagues that pop up and it's not good for anybody. But imagine the league being funded by an outside entity that is known, unfortunately, for suppression. Now, for some people, you take the money.
Jon Rahm had no problem taking a 300 mil. And look, there comes a point in time where a lot of money, a lot of things and sources where you get your money and what you spend it on may not always be the best of things. And so eventually we move on and there's a concern about the viability of both leagues. These guys are suing each other.
Well, I mean, live doesn't have distribution. They have money. The PGA is trying to raise money to continue to grow the game so you have less players who are leaving. And so it was natural instead of just kind of burning out on money wise, the PGA was not going to compete with them when it comes to financing.
So why don't we all just get along? And so they started talking about a merger in June of last year. You want to know what merger has taken place? None. There is no merger. Nothing has taken place yet. The Department of Justice is still looking at this deal. I wonder why. Got to be real careful where you get your money from, especially if it's coming from Saudi Arabia.
You continue on. I think there's even more reasons. How about this? Rory McIlroy is still trying to go into the end of a tournament and actually win. He spoke to the media and he actually said that they are probably athletes, not even probably. He said there are folks on both sides because of their own financial interests who don't want to get a deal done.
Listen to what he said. Because just like anything, everyone's looking out for themselves and their best interests. It would benefit some people for a deal not to get done, but it would obviously benefit some people for a deal to get done. I think there's different opinions amongst the players about what should happen. I think when you have a members-run organization, it complicates things a little bit. Oh, don't you say?
Let me get down to brass tacks. There was a report out that they are certainly trying to figure out a merger, but they're trying to figure out how to reintegrate and how to bring together some of the names that I mentioned that have already decided to leave the tour and take the gigantic money and the gigantic contracts. Basically, it's been reported that there are some golfers on the PGA Tour who are saying, if Jon Rahm comes back and we're all back together, he has to give some of that $300 million up. We have to figure out a way to spread out that wealth. How are we going to reward the guys who were defectors who took these gigantic contracts and we're just going to welcome that back in like nothing happened?
Now, that's certainly understandable. These players, Jon Rahm and Phil Mickelson, even though he's older, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, they basically said, screw you. So the PGA in a tour, they said, screw you, we're going over there and we're taking the money. And so here you have players who decided to stay loyal to the tour. I'm not counting Tiger Woods. I mean, Roy McElroy was a part of that. He's like, I'm staying loyal. And Tiger Woods, he needs to be loyal to his body.
The man is having another back surgery. Come on. Stop playing golf, Tiger. Play recreationally.
Chill out. But how would you feel if you stayed loyal? The guys that you played with and work with decided to leave under controversial circumstances. They got paid the big money. And now they're just just going to come back and we're all going to work together like you didn't just help screw us over and you got paid. And now you're just like, like I'm being punished financially, but I could have left.
I can understand the resentment. And so maybe this is going to stop a deal or maybe, I don't know, maybe, maybe Liv is going to have to invest more into everybody that's there. With some of these contracts that they gave out to start the league, you can't walk that one back.
You can't. I think the current players who did not leave to join Liv, they're just going to have to take it out or there is no agreement because let me tell you something, if you are Jon Rahm. You given back some of your three hundred million dollars. Are you itching that much to go back onto the PGA Tour or you just saying this is my money. I decided to take it.
Now you you want it back so I could participate. Hell no. Listen, sometimes it doesn't pay to be the nice guy, right? Sometimes it doesn't pay to make the right decision.
And also, it doesn't matter what you think about right or wrong. What's mine is mine and yours is yours. Jon Rahm ain't giving up that money. Bryson DeChambeau is not giving up his. Phil Mickelson at the end is not leaving his two hundred mil. They're not giving up that money.
The Saudis have enough of it. Tell them to pay the PGA guys to relax. I don't know, pay retroactively. Give some of the bigger names, figure out a metric to give some of these guys cash. Give give Rory some cash for being loyal.
How about that? And at the same time, does he even want the money because he knows where it's coming from? Decisions, decisions. And this is sometimes why deals.
They don't get done. But if the players who are on the tour, if they want to make the big bucks, you've got a choice. You know where the money is going to come from. You're just going to stop playing golf.
Take the money and relax. These guys who love for a living, giving up their cash. It's the JR support we show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Speaking of cash, when we come back from break. I'm going to tell you about an individual. He's just making cash everywhere on the football field. Podcasting. Hanging out with his girlfriend in television and movies. And I don't know, is he distracted from actually doing the main thing, playing football?
I don't know. Making so much money elsewhere. Is football still the main thing? Travis Kelce had some words about his performance so far here through the start of the twenty twenty four NFL season.
We're going to hear from Travis Kelce what he had to say about his performance or his lack thereof on the other side of the break. You're locked into the JR sport we show here on the Infinity Sports Network. It is the JR sport we show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We talked about wolves retiring back to college. We talked about PGA and live not being able to complete their deal as of yet. And we also know that we're heading into week three of the NFL season. Now, there is a bunch of players that haven't lived up to their deals yet. I mean, we spent the past few days talking about some of the own two teams currently in the NFL, teams that have not looked good. Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence needs to live up to his deal.
You think about Tua Tonga Veloa. Unfortunately, he's not able to live up to his deal with his third recorded concussion. We know this man has probably had more than that. And there's another guy on a championship team.
He hasn't lived up to a damn thing as of yet. His name is Travis Kelce. Yeah, the same Travis Kelce. This offseason, after already going back to back being a Super Bowl champion, got himself a contract extension. Two years. Thirty four million dollars.
This contract will take Travis Kelce through twenty twenty seven. Man is 34 years old. And if you haven't noticed, he's dating one of the biggest celebrities on earth, if not the biggest celebrity, Taylor Swift. He's hosting television shows.
Man is in movies. I mean, damn it, he just got a podcast deal here. He and his brother, Jason, they got a podcast deal. It's overall one hundred million dollars.
I'm sure it's the whole production deal. You didn't just pocket 50 mil, but it's still a lot of money. He has options. He doesn't have to play football, but he has always been so quick to tell everybody. Football is the main thing.
I love football and I'm a play until I cannot play any longer. Well, to start this season so far. Kansas City Chiefs.
Well, they're two and oh. Now, this hasn't been an easy two and oh for the Kansas City Chiefs. And it hasn't been easy for Kelce at all, because just this season. He only has four receptions for thirty nine yards this past Sunday in that victory against the Bengals, where they barely beat him.
Thank you, Harrison, but good for your big foot. He only had Travis Kelce did one reception. For five yards now, Travis Kelce had a slow start to last season. Didn't feel like he really got going until the postseason. Last year in past one thousand yards receiving. That's something that he always does. Only nine hundred and eighty four yards and five touchdowns.
You would typically think this would happen as a guy gets older, and I think it is. And he sat down with his brother because what the hell else are they going to do? Jason and Travis looked at the game from this past Sunday against the Bengals, where he only had one reception for five yards. And he pretty much said, I need to do better and I need to live up to my deal.
The blame falls on me. Listen to Travis Kelce. To really become another Super Bowl caliber team, I put that on me, you know, I think it starts with the leaders. I think it starts with, you know, making sure you're going with the right mentality.
I didn't play my best. It spreads if you don't fix it. So I got to get that thing fixed, man.
There's one thing that doesn't change anything for anybody. It's father time. I mean, for all the advancements in technology, iOS 18. And we got that sucks, man. We got pages blowing up all over the world, depending on where you live.
Terrible stuff. Technology is crazy. We just talked about Woge. He wouldn't be out here breaking news. He wouldn't have the career he had if it was not for technology. But that's what happens. Technology advances and people take advantage. We don't have anything. Anything.
That sends you back in time. And I think for the Kansas City Chiefs, they're always going to have some life in them. They're always going to be competitive. I mean, they got Patrick Mahomes out there as the starting quarterback.
But they do need to be some type of concerns as to how they're going to continue to move forward. Xavier Worthy will get better. As he gets more repetitions and as he gets more time in the NFL coming out of Texas, the fastest guy to ever run in the combine for 240 is blazing. Buffalo Bills wish they had him. I know Keyon will be fine.
Buffalo people, OK, don't call me up and get angry. Rashid Rice, it looks like he's going to make it through this season just because of how slow the legal system is. I think you can expect Rashid Rice to miss some time next season because the guy's not even going to step into a courthouse for driving like a jackass until January at the latest. And so Travis Kelce is supposed to be all reliable. This man is going into the Hall of Fame.
We know that already. Travis Kelce has been a nine time pro bowler. Travis Kelce is a four time all pro. He is already along with, you can thank Mr. Mahomes as well. He's a three time Super Bowl champ. This guy gets the job done year in and year out. And let's just put it this way.
It's only two games into the season. But the more games that you go out there and you're kind of, you know, laying eggs, shooting blanks. People are going to start looking at you and going, oh, I guess it's the trips to the U.S. Open with Taylor Swift. Oh, I guess it's hosting who's smarter than I don't know a fifth grader.
I don't know what show he's doing. Oh, maybe it's that that movie with Adam Sandler. You don't want to be the guy. And I get it. It's 2024.
Everybody has options. You're a professional athlete. You want to be a podcaster.
Hello, Draymond Green. You want to be an athlete. Be a fashion staple.
Angel Reese. But then when things don't go your way, you you can't run. Don't hide.
Take on the responsibility of everything that you've done. It's one thing to sit down with your brother, Jason, on a podcast and say I can do better. And I think Travis Kelce is an upstanding dude.
I don't think he's going to run away from a question. But, man, we got enough athletes who are afraid of the heat. We got enough athletes who can't take the criticism when things don't go their way. And I think the Chiefs will be perfectly fine. The defense has been fine. The offense hasn't been where you would want it to be.
And Travis Kelce is a big reason why that's the case. Now, coming up, I don't know if this is a good or bad thing for my my Falcon fans here in Atlanta, Georgia. The Chiefs got the Falcons next.
There's a full expectation. Even though Isaiah Pacheco is out and Kareem Hunt will probably be elevated. You would favor the Kansas City Chiefs in a match up against the Falcons.
You would. You would think that maybe, I don't know, Travis Kelce would have a little bit of a breakout game here. But the Falcons, the secondary is actually a strength that is. Jesse Bates here in his second year. Justin Simmons just signed here. AJ Terrell just got one of the biggest deals by a cornerback in the NFL that puts him past the 20 million dollar per year range. Kelce can beat anybody.
This guy's played in some of the biggest games in NFL history. He'll be fine unless he's just old and washed up. And then the Chiefs are just going to have to be on a hook through 2027.
Now, I would think they know better than me and they would know better than you what his standing and how his body feels. But damn it, we're in 2024. You want a 37 year old tight end out there? Oh, one thing we know in life, it's it's always about change. Patrick Mahomes is he ain't going anywhere.
He's going to continue to get older. But eventually they're going to have to, you know, replenish the group. They have to bring in new bodies to go out there and get to work because everybody's surrounding the Chiefs. We know everybody's great.
We know everybody's good. Everybody's going to the Hall of Fame. Patrick Mahomes could quit tomorrow and go into the Hall of Fame. Andy Reid, as it stands today, Andy Reid is already one of the greatest coaches of all time. If Andy Reid quit tomorrow, Andy Reid for all of his success in the NFC, the AFC with the Eagles and now the Chiefs. Andy Reid is going into the Hall of Fame. And Travis Kelce, he's going to go into the Hall of Fame, too. And I think he's going to retire as a Kansas City chief. What he doesn't want. Is for his time and his career to end. Like Klay Thompson's kind of did in Golden State. Everybody wants to be on that one team all the way through.
Unless it doesn't work. And I'm not telling you that he's going to leave Kansas City. Everybody wants to go out on top. Nobody wants to go out being a show of themselves.
Nobody wants to go out just kind of lingering around. And when you have the career opportunities that he does. It's easy to get distracted. I see Travis Kelce at the U.S. Open. I say to myself. He could be in a cold tub or hot bath and none of my business. He spends his off time. I don't see a lot of the other guys doing that. And when it comes to professional athletes now with their varying interests and. The lack of inhibition to, you know, even slow down to share it. That's where it comes in.
Come on. I told you about Angel Reese. She got her own podcast, too. Everybody has a podcast. Alex Rodriguez has a podcast. And Gilbert Arenas has a podcast where he can sit around with Cheryl Swoopes and destroy Caitlin Clark. Mookie Betts has a park. Everybody has a podcast except for Shohei Ohtani.
I wonder why that is. Draymond Green is sitting around doing podcasts during the NBA finals, even when he sucks. He's like, yeah, I suck today. Everybody has a podcast. These people are winners. None of the loser ass guys got podcast. Even Giannis Atteracumpo's little brother. One of the biggest mascots in the NBA, even he has a podcast.
It's all good until you stink, though. Is it? Angel Reese got a broken wrist. Her team has been eliminated from the postseason and going down the tubes. All her double doubles have been, I don't know, overshadowed by Caitlin Clark.
She's sitting around doing a podcast telling everybody about the hate with her and Caitlin like there's nothing better for you to do, but focusing on the season. Everybody has to be a. Jack of all trades, master of none. And I guess utilizing social media is the best way to make money. I mean, come on. Even Travis Kelce before he even became a Super Bowl champ, before he dated Taylor Swift, went on a date before he won a Super Bowl. Travis Kelce was doing reality television shows about dating Travis Kelce. The man wants to be famous. He might love football, but he loves the fame and he loves the attention to just be very careful.
That it doesn't bite you in the ass in a negative way, because if you start stinking on that field, the NFL and the fans. They're going to tell you. And if, man, God forbid that Taylor Swift breaks up with you. Yeah, you might still be a big celebrity. But wait until she writes a song about you. That's it's not fun either. Then you got a whole nother group coming to hate your guts. Hey, be careful out there.
You're making all that money doesn't always come with positivity. It's the J.R. sport re-show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
