It is the JR Sport Brief show here on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in all over North America. I hope you've had a tremendous Friday, a good day. Hope you're having a good start to the weekend. I'll be with you for one more hour.
And then I gotta shut up and leave. The show gets started 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I'm in Atlanta.
Super producer and host Ryan Hickey is in New York City. It has been a busy day. It's been a busy night. It's been a busy evening.
We got the Masters underway. We got Derek Carr dealing with a shoulder injury. He may be out for the year.
We don't know. What does this mean for the New Orleans Saints? We have Joe Flacco. He found a new team today. Joe Flacco is now a member of the Cleveland Browns. He's returning to the Browns, one-year contract, $4 million. They got him.
They got Kenny Pickett. What the hell does this mean for Kirk Cousins? We know Kirk Cousins, he was yearning.
Yes, yearning. Kirk Cousins was yearning for Cleveland, Ohio. I don't know how Cleveland are going to bring him in now. They're going to trade for him?
Hell no. Now he has to suffer here in Atlanta carrying water and bags for Michael Penix Jr. NBA season coming down to a close. Last weekend of the regular season before they start that stupid play-in. And then we watch a bunch of teams just jockey for position. John Marrant trying to throw grenades.
Nico Iamaliava, he's out here jockeying for a new contract with the University of Tennessee, trying to get that money while he can. And then us, I'm just having a good time. You want to be a part of the good time?
You can do that too. Not here for a long time, but a good time. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Shout outs to the Uber drivers, the Lyft drivers, the Amazon drivers. Shout outs to the chefs, the people in the hospitals, my people holding it down, the law enforcement, the firefighters, my people on call, my people in submarines and airplanes, people in Alaska, people in Hawaii.
I like y'all too. Much love to people listening in Canada, all over the place. Anyway, 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. What a day. Hickey, where do we, do we start with, we've had some guests on, amazing guests too. Thank you to Matt Adams for joining us from the Golf Channel. Thank you to Dana Scott for joining us from azcentral.com and covers all things Phoenix Suns.
A superstar team with, that's not going to the playoffs. How about that? There's so much. Hickey, where do we start? Where do we even go from here? Do we do a wrap up? Do I talk about golf first? What's the deal?
What do you think? I think a wrap up start with golf works first. Okay. Yeah.
Let's start here. Masters is underway here in Georgia. There's no guy named Scheffler at the top right now at the leaderboard. There is no guy named Rory at the top of the leaderboard. They're all close, but right now, the man leading the Masters after round two, his name is Justin Rose. Bryson DeChambeau, he's a spot behind him. It's seven shots under. Rory McIlroy is tied for third. You got Scottie Scheffler here. He's five shots under. And so we still got a lot of time to go. But in the case of Rory McIlroy, it has been 11 years, 11 years since he climbed the mountaintop.
This guy gets close and he falls off the side of a cliff. Yesterday he had a bad day. Today he was able to bounce back. He's up. He's down.
As we even discussed with Alexis Belton yesterday, she told us, she's like, yeah, it has to be in between his ears. What's going on with Rory? Earlier today, he spoke on ESPN and he talked about bouncing back after stinking a joint up yesterday. I just had to remind myself that I was playing well. You know, I couldn't let two bad holes, you know, sort of dictate the narrative of the of the 16 good ones. And I just had to remind myself that I was playing well. I had a lot of good shots.
And then I also had to remind myself this morning not to try to push too hard, too early. Oh, well, he's in a good spot now. He bounced back from that crap yesterday. Meanwhile, we got Justin Rose here. He hasn't won a major period in about a decade or more, about 10 years.
And he's trying to hold on and win. Is it likely? Probably not. Probably not.
This is what he had to say about winning the Masters if he's able to do it. I think sometimes if it happens too early in your career, you got a lot to live up to. And I think if it happens now, I would enjoy it. I think probably a lot more, you know, come, come a bit more as a gift towards the end of your career. So I think there'd be a lot of satisfaction in it for sure.
A lot of satisfaction in it for sure. We'll see what happens. I'm still picking Scottie Shuffler. Is he not the best option to go out there and win? He doesn't get arrested between now and Sunday.
Good possibility. Anyway, something that happened earlier today, we learned that Derek Carr could potentially be out for the season with the New Orleans Saints. They just readjusted his contract. He was looking for more money.
They converted his cash into a bonus that he has shut up, take the money and leave us alone. And now he may not even play this season. The New Orleans Saints have the ninth overall selection in the draft. And if you don't have a quarterback, I'm sorry, Spencer Riley doesn't count. If you don't have a quarterback, what do you do with that spot? I mean, it's kind of late in the game to just sign a QB. You just going to sign Aaron Rodgers? I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to New Orleans and they got to pay him. Kirk Cousins, he ain't being traded and Falcons sure as hell ain't moving him to a rival. And who wants to pick up that guy's contract? The best case scenario right now for the Saints is the draft. I would take Chidor Sanders. How about this? Minutes ago, Louis Riddick was on social media and he said the ninth pick is going to be all kinds of interesting fingers crossed. Deion Sanders puts up the eyeball looking emoji.
Yeah, just getting everybody going. I think Chidor would be great in Louisiana, maybe not even playing out of the gate, but just playing inside, I think would be a benefit to him. I think the fans in New Orleans and Louisiana, they would be grateful and patient with him.
It's an amazing place, an amazing city, amazing people. He'd have a real opportunity to grow. Let's see what happens with Chidor Sanders. I disagree with this, but on the Saints block party podcast, NFL draft analyst Tony Pauline yesterday, he actually said the Saints, they are interested in drafting a QB.
It's just not Chidor. But as of a couple of hours before I came on with you guys, I asked specifically about number nine and someone told me, no, I said, no, they don't think it's going to be Chidor Sanders at nine. Look for Quinn Ewers in the third round because evidently the Saints like Quinn Ewers a lot and Quinn Ewers for some asinine reason has been the forgotten quarterback in this whole process. People have just dismissed him.
But that's what I was told a few hours ago. The quarterback carousel will continue on. Quinn Ewers can't even stay healthy.
Forget about that. Come on, man, you got Chidor. You got Cam Ward.
You keep things moving. Let Quinn Ewers get drafted somewhere in the second round. A team that has to basically settle for seconds. And speaking of seconds, Kirk Cousins, apparently he's going to have to settle for second fiddle in Atlanta, Georgia. Kirk Cousins was lobbying to get to Cleveland, Ohio. He's just randomly taking photos and restaurants and responding and putting it up on social media.
It is the quietest trade request I've ever seen in my life. But today, the Cleveland Browns apparently became a less likely destination because the Cleveland Browns, they decided to bring back Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco back to the Browns.
One year deal, $4 million. And Kirk Cousins, well, he just has to look around as things develop around him. Ian Rappaport was on his YouTube channel and he basically said, yeah, Kirk Cousins, he's he might be asked out. They were a team to me that I thought was a possibility of trading for Cousins and other teams that had conversations. It didn't sound like it was easy to figure out how much money the team would pay the Falcons or really how much money the team would would take on of Cousin Sauer to do the deal.
And then the traffic was complicated. They ended up moving on to sign Flacco. So does this mean Cousins stays with the Falcons for 2024?
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. Falcons are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Atlanta Falcons out here signing Kirk Cousins to big money coming off of an Achilles injury. They then draft his replacement.
Kirk Cousins gets hurt, doesn't tell everybody the extent that he's hurt. He sucks. He gets replaced with the guy they drafted. They paid him so much money. Now they can't move him. And now he's the world's highest paid backup. There's things that you just can't make up. And speaking of quarterbacks, we just talked about this.
Nico Iemalayeva, welcome to 2025. He is refusing to show up to work with the Tennessee Volunteers because he wants his pay up. And this is not the school paying him. This is the marketing agency semi-attached loosely to the school that's getting him his marketing deals. He wants more than two and a half million dollars to show up to work and throw for Tennessee.
This is a first in college football. Hey, I'm not getting paid. I'm not getting paid enough.
I'm not showing up. It sounds like a lot of other people. Let's listen to former LSU running back Jacob Hester and former FSU quarterback E.J.
Manuel. Talk about this situation on Sirius XM. Look, I'll be honest. I don't love this.
I don't love any any portion of it. I know that leverage is leverage. It is what it is. But this is teammate stuff. If I was a running back and my quarterback was doing this, I'd feel a certain type of way. I'm going to be honest with you. I just would like, hey, you're the leader, like, hey, you're the leader.
But if you wanted to do this, you should have done it in December. OK, because we could have found our guy if you leave us. I understand why these players in college are kind of looking at the rules, which there is none. And they're going to go as far as they can with it. Is it an awkward thing for this kid to do?
Is this going to piss off a lot of Tennessee fans? Yeah. But but you know what I mean?
Like it's like butt shrug. Like, hey, it is what it is. Yeah, you got to get your money when you can.
Right. Just go out there and get screwed. The teammates, I guess for the college athletes at this point in time, it's always a business, right?
I mean, in the professional level. Hey, what you do with your contract is your business. Everybody understands it's a business.
I think that same ideology and thought process is going to have to be adopted at the college level. Hey, what the quarterback does. That's his business. They just they have to be a structure.
There has to be a structure that gets figured out sooner than later. And then we got a guy with all this going on with the quarterbacks, the pros at the college level. We got a wide receiver slash cornerback. Think about this with the Cleveland Browns bringing in Joe Flacco, having Kenny Pickett unlikely to trade for Kirk Cousins. How the hell they would do that with Deshaun Watson still on a roster makes absolutely no sense. The tea leaves are starting to show that Travis Hunter is likely to be a Brown. I feel bad for him, but that looks like where he is going to end up.
It stinks for him. Adam Schefter was on his podcast earlier this week and he says, yeah, it looks like the Browns are going to get the two way star. But the latest Intel now is that I believe Travis Hunter is the more likely pick at two today, a couple of weeks out of the NFL draft for a couple of different reasons. I think the Cleveland Browns watched him on Friday. It is pro day and they saw somebody that could move like nobody else. I think that going into that day, they viewed him as somebody they could play a wide receiver and I think sprinkling defensive back. So I think he could play two ways for them, but I think they may think of him more as a receiver than a cornerback. Well, Andrew Berry, who is the GM of the Cleveland Browns, he basically said as much. Now we just got to see whether or not he's going to select them. That's what it sounds like.
They don't need a quarterback. Now you can throw that on out of the window and that is no joke, but it is Friday. And so, you know, I think this is a good chance and an opportunity to go ahead and hear a joke or two. Every Friday people typically call up. They, I don't want to say they're drunk, they're loose, they're happy.
They're not at work or maybe they're going to work, but they're trying to just settle down. And so Friday's call is always, let's just say the most interesting. So we started a segment called the Friday Funny, where we want you to call up. If you have something funny, you have a joke you want to share with America, you can. Here's the number 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. And you know what? We even have accompanying music that is, I guess it's funny. Let's listen to this. We've made it. The end of the work week is here. Let's head into the weekend on a good note with the Friday Funny, only on the JR Sport Brief Show. Yeah, well this is like festival weather.
It makes me want to punch a clown in the face. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Hey, we got Reggie calling up from Louisiana. I hope this is funny. Reggie, you're on the JR Sport Brief Show. What's up? All right, JR. Here we go again.
Don't worry, baby. This would here be funny. I worked for three days. You worked on this joke for three days? Is it going to take three days to tell the joke or is it going to take 30 seconds?
No, no, no, baby. This would here be short, JR. I got you a short one, but Reggie can't be going too fast.
Reggie, an 83-year-old brother, baby. I go too fast, so I mess around and have me a stroke. Oh, don't have a stroke.
Have a baby, but don't have a stroke. Go ahead, Reggie. Here goes Reggie's joke, JR.
This would here be nice and short for you. Okay, so the man and the lady be laying in the bed and the man go, baby, I ain't tying the TV on the nude. So the lady grab hold of the remote and throw it on the TV. So the nude man on the TV say, okay, queen a little bit been on the throne for 70 years now. And so the man showed a man go 70 years. He go, oh Lord.
He looked at it. He looked at the man lady and you go, baby, did you know the queen a little bit been on the trolls for 70 years? And the lady go, yeah, baby, I know that. And the man go, do you, do you think queen Elizabeth tried prune juice? Oh, there we go. You need, you need me to break it down for you, baby.
I understand prune juice will make you poop on the throne. Thank you, Reggie. All right, baby. All right. Thank you. You have a good evening. Okay.
I hope you don't need it. No, no, no, no, no. J R R R R R Reg be regular, baby. Take me out.
Take me my every, every morning, baby. I don't miss. I don't miss. Okay.
Steph Curry of the dumps. Okay. Thank you, Reggie. Appreciate you. I love you and hickey show, man.
I can't wait for pride in my favorite show. Oh, well, thank you so much, Reggie. Appreciate you. Go take your dump. Thank you, Reggie. That's it.
I'm done. He was at Kirk cousins. Who said that? Joey Votto. Joey, that's right. He did say that was his retirement split.
Joey Votto. Didn't he have a retirement speech? He said, that's it. I'm done. His 32nd retirement speech was basically that. And also I think he's probably listening live and just chimed in and said, okay. After Reggie said that I'm done tonight. He said, I'm done.
Yeah. I was listening to that joke and I was like, wait a minute. At first, I didn't know if he said he was in the bed and the nude, or if he was watching the news, I didn't, I didn't get it. That was one part.
And then when he said queen Elizabeth was on the throne for 70 years, I knew exactly where that joke was going. And by the way, God rest her soul. Piggy, she gone, right? Is she gone? She gone, right? She gone. Uh, she is. She gone.
Yeah. She's gone. Five years, six years.
She been gone. Less than that? After COVID? Two or three years.
It's been more recent. All right. 2022. Wow. Wow.
Time flies, man. Damn. Where are all the royals at? We don't hear about them no more, huh? Well, yeah.
Yeah. Tell me, tell me about, well, man, they've had it rough. They had, they've faced plenty of controversies and hardships. It's like every other family and every other human being on earth, right? That is true.
We all have our trials and tribulations. Yeah. They're still human.
They get to live for free based off some stuff from thousands of years ago. I mean, but Piggy, could you imagine? I don't know. Could you? King Hickey?
You know? Sounds good to me. Prince Hickey, King Hickey? King Hickey. I like that.
King Hickey. Okay. Possible.
Kick my feet up and boss people around, even though I really have no power, but still. Oh. Do they pay taxes? No.
The taxes pay them. Yeah. Exactly right.
Exactly right. Oh, what a world. Yeah. I think, well, I'm not going to say that. I think they, well, they're the biggest monarchy.
Last big one, I guess. I don't know. And keep up with that stuff. I live in America. My taxes don't go to them. My taxes don't even fix the potholes down the street.
I don't know. We're about potholes first. It's the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. I don't know if this is a joke or if this is sad, but when we come back on the other side, I got to talk about another joke. His name is John Marrant throwing grenades.
Don't move. You're listening to the JR Sport Breeze. It is the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. So we talked earlier in the show about the Phoenix Suns. Their season is over. There's no playoffs. There's no playing. There's no Kevin Durant. Probably will never put his son's uniform on again.
What a massive disaster. Kevin Durant gets passed around like a library book. Constantly getting checked in and checked out?
Going from one house to another? Never be returned. You have high expectations on the book and it's bad. I can't even say you know like a blockbuster tape because there's no blockbuster anymore. R.I.P.
R.I.P. Blockbuster. A lot of those things are gone, man. Remember you used to go to Blockbuster, right?
Oh yeah. Had one in the next town over. Never forget where it was. Those were the days. Remember you used to go? They had the food and the candy and stuff in there?
Come on. The thing that always grinded my gears though, it wouldn't happen often but enough to always get you pissed off, is either scratch on the DVD or back in the VHS days when they would not rewind the tape. Oh my god. They used to have the big lettering in there. Please rewind. Remember that?
And plenty of people disregarded that. Now this is kind of seedy. I think you remember there was Blockbuster?
This big national, right? There was Blockbuster. And then there was the neighborhood place where you rent the video.
You remember that place too? They had everything that Blockbuster didn't have. And they didn't have candy and popcorn that you take home.
They just had... What did they have there? They had other videos. But those were in the back. Those videos were in the back.
You had to ask them specifically? Yeah, if you were old enough to go back there, I guess. That always killed... Hickey and my neighborhood, they had one of those things down the block from Blockbuster. And Hickey, it was twice the size of Blockbuster. It was like in a warehouse and it was huge. And not only did they have the other stuff, but they had everything else. Blockbuster had a limited selection.
You could go and get wrestling tapes. This place had every video game, every magazine, every video imaginable. And so if Blockbuster didn't have it, you went to the neighborhood place, it was next to a furniture store. Everything you need on one block.
What do I need? A couch? I can get a couch, get a bed, get a VCR from the warehouse place that has the DVDs and the VHS.
Get everything in there, man. You want to call that? Simple living. It's simple living. Yeah, I know. Simple living.
Yeah. Who needs a bed? Give me some water and a couch. I'm good. Put some vodka in the fridge.
I'll be okay. Yeah, now we're talking. Yeah.
Eggs, milk, a couple of slices of bread and get the job done. Sustenance. There we go.
There's someone who has no idea about that, at least not now anyway. It's John Morant. This man is throwing away money. $75,000 last week for continuing to do the gun celebration after the NBA said, what are you doing? Stop. So he got fined $75,000. And so John Morant, instead of doing gun celebrations, instead of pointing finger guns at the opposition, John Morant has taken to a hand grenade celebration.
Quite intricate. No, he's not getting on the floor. But after he knocks down a three, this man pulls like a fake grenade from his waist. He pulls the pin out with his teeth. He proceeds to throw the fake grenade, imaginary grenade into the crowd. And then he covers his ears to not damage his eardrums during the explosion.
And he does all of this while running back on defense. Taylor Jenkins, good for him for not being there. They fired him.
Who wants to get fired? But good for him. So John Moran is just he's pushing the buttons of the NBA and we have yet to hear a response. The NBA hasn't doubled down and said, hey, you idiot, we're going to fine you a hundred thousand like you talking crap to us.
We tell you not to do the guns. And so you move to the the grenade like knock it off. John Moran is such a knucklehead and he thinks he's like he's being like picked on and victimized here by the NBA.
And he's the one who's acted like a jerk over the past several years. He told the Associated Press about this new celebration with the hand grenade. That's my celebration now until somebody else has a problem with it.
And I'll find another one. Like, what are we doing? He's going to start knifing people up after a three. Like what?
What is this? Can somebody tell this guy to grow up? Like, let's keep in mind, this is somebody who already cost himself between 50 and 70 million dollars because he wanted to show off his guns at a strip club. And then he apologized and he gave everybody this crap loaded apology to Jalen Rose. Do you remember this from two years ago?
This is what he said on ESPN. It's not who I am. I don't condone any type of violence, but I take full responsibility for my actions. Made a bad mistake. And I can see the image, you know, that I painted over myself with my recent mistakes.
But in the future, I'm going to show everybody who John really is, what I'm about and change this narrative. Yeah, I don't condone violence, but I'm going to bust my imaginary guns. And then he waved around a fake gun. That's what he said, a fake gun after this.
And then he got a 25 game suspension. And it's just. And now two years later, he's like, oh, they won't let me do the gun celebration.
So now just throw a grenade. He's not a joke. He's just a.
It's a sad, sad kid. He's a grown. He's a man child.
That's what they call. Like the NBA wanted this dude to be the face of the league. He's just a jerk. And Nike has some sound to this big deal. He is just a jerk.
The NBA on TNT got in. Kenny Smith basically said, man, this is dumb. He has a history that maybe he should be doing.
Yeah, maybe just keep the celebrations with people might die alone. You know, they don't keep talking about pull up here. No one person happy right now. Who's that? Taylor Jenkins ain't got to deal with this crap. You're going to get another job that he deserves. And I ought to deal with this.
It is. Yeah, spoken by Charles Barkley. He got to get fired, though, to get away from this crap. And Kenny Smith, he said he should have a job where maybe people don't a celebration where people don't die. What, Hickey, what could possibly come next if the NBA says knock it off with the the grenade celebrations, like what is he going to. I don't even know what. There's nothing else after that, but a knife. You are nice.
Somebody up. I think. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, didn't Draymond know he I don't know what he was doing. I just thought there were some words that he accompanied with that person getting shipped. Is he ever going to learn like, no, he's not going to learn, right?
I hope so. I mean, I hope he learns before it's too late. He's in this like defiant 15 year old mindset for whatever reason. I don't I mean, I don't get this is now with a third different time that he's pushing the NBA.
Well, he didn't care from the get go when he gave everybody that phony apology with Jalen Rose on ESPN. And then like a week later, he's back on on social media waving around what appears to be a gun. And he's just like, no, it was a lighter.
It was a lighter like their 12 year olds who have more maturity than John Moran. It's just and if you're the NBA, if they come down and go, hey, if they find him now, people have a big old fit. I don't know.
I want to find him out the get go. It's like, oh, you're playing games with us now. Like you understand, this is the premise. Like you were walking around with guns and you were waving them around on social media.
And now you're taunting us like I'd find them. I take the heat that comes with it. They can call me soft. I'd suspend him. Conduct detrimental to the league. Like you'd be in a jerk. And now you're taunting us some more by saying, oh, that's my celebration until somebody has a problem with it. Now I find another one.
I don't like grow up like you're not happy making tons of money like us. Marco, what comes next? He naturally has to pantomime stabbing somebody after this, right? That sounds right.
I think the shiv would probably be the next thing. Yeah. Makeshift. Does he show you how he has to make it?
Make it, you know, homemade shiv. But how can he, how can he knock down a three and then do that while getting back on defense? He can barely, you know, throw a grenade. Well, he got back on defense while he was throwing a grenade yesterday. Apparently this is more important. So whatever he's rebelling against, because apparently we've persecuted him for his own mistakes. Yeah. So getting back on defense, I don't think that matters.
Whatever this point is that he has to prove, that's the most important thing. You know, it's crazy. The team can't even say something. There's nobody on the team.
They, of course, they got Adelman is, no, that's the, that's the wrong team. Who the heck is their who the heck is their coach? His name is, he has an Italian. Is he Italian? He's European something.
Very European. Right. Man, they got a new coach.
He, nobody in the entire Oregon is the owner. Robert Para can't get him and go knock it off. I hate to say it, but we've gotten to that point where we're afraid and the royal we, like he's too good. He's too important.
So you can't annoy him. You can't anger. I gotta be fair. Every one of them, you're all culpable, your teammates, your, your coaches, your owner, your dad, every one of you and including the NBA, because I'll be fair.
And I'm the first one to say, we talked about this before. The first time he did the celebration, I'd have suspended him then because you're sticking it in the NBA's face. They suspended you for this.
You're basically giving them the finger. You are not more important than the league and the league has enough issues where they don't need this as the center point going into the playoffs. You've got a crazy Western conference.
You got great teams. You got the Luca Doncic angle, whatever Nico Harrison being dumb or the Lakers being bad, whatever it is, you got people talking about the NBA. And instead of that, you got them talking about this clown. No, you want this. So you want the publicity.
However, when you get it, I don't feel bad for you because you should have nipped this. I agree. But I think the NBA on the reverse, if they go ahead and suspend him, it becomes even more of a talking, well, not suspend, punish him in any way. It becomes more of a talking point.
I hear you. But to me, when you find him, it becomes a talking point because he does this. And we discuss it when you suspend him and he's gone. When he wasn't playing a couple of years ago, did we talk about Ja Morant? He does that naturally. He gets hurt all the time.
We don't spend time talking about anyone when they're not in our face. If you're suspended and not eligible to play, once the playoffs start, no one would even mention it because he's not there. Yeah. And Ja Morant right now, he got eight points. He knocked down two threes.
And Memphis is leading Denver 35-28 after the first. You think he did a grenade celebration tonight? I'm sure he did. Yeah, two threes.
So two grenade celebration. Let's see. And again, we go back to it. And I know a lot of people are like, oh, come on. It's just a stupid thing.
Why would it? Because this is not your right. You play for someone.
It means you have owner, you have your bosses, you're an employee. You're not allowed to just do whatever the hell you want. You can own a gun. Sure.
Of course you can. You could do whatever you want to do on your own time, as long as it doesn't mess up your company. We're all in this, every single one of us. And none of us get paid minus certain players, the kind of money that they get. It comes with some responsibility.
If you can't handle the little bit of responsibility and accountability that comes along with it, then you don't get to play. That's just a simple thing. To me, I don't think this is in the gray area. To me, this is a lot of black and white. And I don't understand where we got so skewed where it's like, ah, we're in a weird spot.
Why was it weird? Have you seen the internet? This is the stuff that makes me nuts.
It really does. Yeah. I'm not asking a whole lot from you. I'm not asking you to go to the hospital and visit kids and spend your time with charity.
No, those are difficult things. Just don't be a jerk. You know what?
And don't put the finger in my face. If you're the NBA, like we suspended you for gun issues. We did that. We went through that. We're done with that, right? Now we got to do guns on the court and grenades.
And you're basically telling me, I'm going to keep doing whatever the hell I feel like doing because you're never going to do anything for me. What? The Memphis Grizzlies are going to try to get him the hell up one out of there. And maybe he goes somewhere where he can actually grow up. Let's see what he does the rest of the postseason. I don't expect the Grizzlies to do anything.
How is he going to whine and cry and complain when they get eliminated? We'll find out soon. This is, this is, I don't even think we've reached peak. John Moran, there's going to be more. It's coming.
It's honest. This is, this is the restart. This is the bubbling up. I think we're going to talk about him quite a bit throughout the course of the summer, or at least July. I think he's going to get moved. And if he doesn't get moved now, he's going to get moved next year. I think things are, things are heating up. He's a complete nut.
Where's Ron Artesto album in the head? But that's not good. I shouldn't say that, right? No, no.
I think that's frowned upon. And I still keep coming back to you're rebelling against what? Nothing. That's the part that makes me nuts. Like what are you rebelling against? His own stupidity. Hey Hickey, not Hickey or Marco.
I'm so used to calling Hickey. Look, everybody is persecuted nowadays, right? Even people who do stupid things, because people just got to, they got to argue to be argued just to be right. I'm really, I almost feel like I need a nap. It makes my head hurt. You're persecuted and you're rebelling against your mistake. Who are you upset at? It doesn't make any sense at all. And then everybody's afraid to tell you. It's so stupid.
It is so stupid. You can take a trip to Memphis. I'm sure he's not hard to find. I'm pretty sure you can get a hold of his dad even easier.
Let his dad know. Who also happens to be an enabler. You know what? Is there a job for this? Can I get paid for this? Because I would love to sit people down and explain to them how stupid they are. Isn't that what the psych, what is it? Psychologists?
That's what they get paid for. No, no, no, no. They don't tell you you're stupid.
They just let you talk and then they go, that's good. We'll work on this next week. No, no, no.
I want to actually sit you down and tell you how dumb you are. Oh, well, isn't that part of being a parent? Yeah, but I don't get paid for that. Oh, you're right about that. You're right. What a world.
This is backwards. I got to figure something. I don't know. Hickey, figure something out. Help us. I don't know. I'll figure it out for you, fellas. By Monday, we'll have a solution. All right.
Done. I know John Morrere will be eliminated from the postseason soon, so we'll see when that happens. What a world. It's the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. When we come back, we'll tell you about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

Lowe's. We help you save Lionel Messi in Miami. They're back on a pitch this Sunday as they host the Chicago Fire FC into Miami. They have yet to lose a league game this season because Messi is a big reason this guy has heated up four goals and an assist in the last three games.
Shout out to Messi. I heard he's going to be sticking around till 2026. That's in the future. Right now, it's time to go back in time. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore.
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history. You see, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything. And it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR Sport Breeze show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. April 11th, 2004. Phil Mickelson, he won his first major. He drained an 18-foot birdie on 18 to win the Masters. Listen to Phil Mickelson back in 2004 drain that final putt courtesy of CBS. I kept saying to myself all day that this is my day. This was the day. Even when I heard Ernie Eagle on 13 and I heard the roar and knew what had happened, I had a putt on 12 to pull within. I was three back pulled into and I just kept believing that something good was going to happen, that this was going to be it. And I cannot believe that I shot 31 to win by a shot.
It's just it's an amazing feeling. Well, he last won the Masters in 2010. The last major that he won was the PGA Championship back in 2021. April 11th, if we go to 2021, Hideki Matsuyama, he became the first Japanese player to win a major as he won the Masters. And by the way, he hasn't won a major since. Listen to the final call from CBS. Just line this up, make it roll and he should make it. It's OK.
Right, that's the why. Who predicted that by one? Matsuyama is Japan's first Masters champion. Hello, golf clap.
Golf clap is nice right now in the Masters. He's tied for twelve, three shots under. Good for him.
Yeah, be shocked if he wins. There we go. Anyway, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. What a hell of a show, what a hell of a week. Thank you so much to our guests.
