It is the JR Sportbrief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Happy Friday.
I hope you're having a tremendous evening. Maybe you're out and about. Maybe you're getting to the money. Maybe you're leaving the money. Maybe you're going back to your family.
Maybe you're just hanging out with me. This is the final hour of the show. I get started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Shout out to all my folks out West dealing with the heat. Much love to everybody dealing with the rain and the clouds.
Whatever it is you're dealing with. I'm glad that you're here. We've had a busy show. Thank you so much to Eddie White. Covers all things Indiana Pacers for Pacers.com, Pacers overtime.
Thank you to Sean Powell. Covers all things NBA for NBA.com. We talked about the Knicks and the Pacers. They play Game 6 tomorrow. We talked some Stanley Cup Finals as they get going next Wednesday between the Edmonton Oilers and the Florida Panthers.
Part 2. Panthers have been to the Stanley Cup Finals three years in a row. We talked about Kyle Pitts. He could be done in Atlanta. Bryce Huff, he is done with the Eagles. He's going to be traded to the San Francisco 49ers.
You wouldn't even have missed Bryce Huff. He didn't really play last year for the Eagles because he stunk. Zion Williamson, oh my goodness, this guy's career, it's really starting to stink.
Every time that you think it's not going to get worse, it does. Zion Williamson has been accused of rape. Dating back to his time at Duke. His lawyers say, uh-uh, this is lies. I mean, you never know these allegations though. We'll see how things play out in the court system.
But Zion is just, his career has been pockmarked with just unfortunate issues. Okay. Man. And of course this is the end of, well, not the end of the show. We got one more hour. At the end of the show, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. Oh, I didn't forget.
We got that, uh, that young man who won the spelling bee last night. Yeah. I'm going to, we're going to see how smart I am. Yeah.
It may not end well. Okay. Uh, here's the number again. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN.
If you use the internet, if you have a mobile device, you have a laptop, a computer, a desktop, maybe you're using AOL dial-up, uh, maybe you got two tin cans that you put together on an end of a string. Well, in that case you can call me, but any other way you can find me on the internet. I am at JR support brief and because there is no NHL tonight because there is no NBA, nothing going on in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes hasn't changed his mind.
He's not going to play in the flag football league. Uh, I decided that, you know, for today, you know, we can, we can bring back the Friday funny. If you have a joke, you have something hilarious that you want to share with America. Maybe you are a comedian. Maybe you want this to be a big break. If you want to be on air, maybe you could use this as your launching point. You can create a demo based off of it and be like, Hey, I was on national radio and I made Jr laugh. Or maybe not. 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. And then we did talk about some jokes like, uh, Paul George saying that Tyrese Halliburton is the face of the NBA. What? I think some of these guys really be smoking before they start their shows. They smoke a lot of stuff. Okay. We had that Greg Doyle guy, the man who said that he met Kaitlin Clark in a news conference and said, I love you.
Like what type of creep ass guy is that? And last night he's bothering Pascal Siakam. Hey Pascal, why didn't you, why don't you guys win? Well, the New York Knicks played hard. They outplayed us. How could they outplay you in a game five where you had a chance and an opportunity to close them out? Huh? What do you mean?
They played harder than us, but how, how did they play harder than you? Who let this guy in here? Yeah. Don't, don't be a creep. That guy has a history of being weird.
He's a weird guy. 8 8 8 7 7 4 ISN. That's 8 8 8 7 7 4 ISN. Listen, people, it is Friday. I don't care where you are, what you're doing. Do not be a creep. Don't get into anything crazy.
Think about Zion Williamson. Do the complete opposite in any regard. Don't eat too much. Don't do anything.
Be respectful of people's space. Okay. 8 8 8 7 10 4 ISN.
That's 8 8 8 7 10 4 ISN. Let's go to Maryland and talk to Catherine. Catherine, you're on the J.R. Sportby show. What's up? J.R., I am 94 years old.
I'll be 95 on July 19th. I watch Art Listen. Kids Say the Daughters Things was hosted by Art and Kelly. My kids are all grown.
I have six sons and they used to watch Art Listen. Kids Say the Daughters Things. Yeah. So for anyone who's not familiar, last hour I talked about the crazy things that that we heard like, well, Pascal Siakam dealing with the crazy reporter. I had mentioned Paul George saying that Halliburton is the face of the NBA. And I said that we got a bunch of athletes who are just saying wild and crazy things.
And then I said, it's like that show. Kids Say the Daughters Things. So that's why Catherine called up with the reference to Art Linkletter. Hey, Catherine, you said your birthday is when? July 19th.
July 19th, probably 95. Well, you know what, Catherine, God bless you and all that you have and all that you've done and all that you are. What what's your favorite teams, Catherine? Who do you like? Are you an Orioles fan? Yes, I'm an old Orioles fan, but they haven't been playing their best.
But I still listen to them. I'm in Maryland. Yeah, I know you're in Maryland. Do you like the football too?
You like the Ravens? Oh, listen, let me tell you a story. I have six sons.
I didn't have any girls. So they played sports. They were scouts and they are professional and everybody's retired. My youngest retired last January. So he's been retired.
All of my sons are retired and all of them are professionals. Oh my goodness, Catherine. That's a lot. I have a lawyer. I have to be.
Excuse me. I have a computer. I had a list. I had, I have a chemist.
Their dad was a chemist. I was a mathematician. Oh my goodness.
Yes. And listen, I have, I have a, my youngest son just retired January a year ago and he's a director. It was a director of athletics in Virginia. All of my boys were professionals. I lost two sons.
Diabetes is bad in my family. But let me tell you something. We're about a, we're almost about two weeks past mother's day, but it sounds like you were and you still are an awesome mom. So I don't care if it's May 30th.
I don't care if it's almost June. Catherine, I want to wish you a happy mother's day and forget mother's day. You are just an awesome mom and I'm so happy that you took the time to call me. I appreciate you, Catherine. Okay. Well everybody says that and everybody calls most people, even at our church called me mom, Adam. Well, as they should, they better put some respect on your name. They better Catherine. Okay. Miss.
Yes, they do. Everybody, everybody respects me for good reason. Well, July the 19th, I'll be 95 if I live to be there. I'm still walking on my own. I'm living in a senior housing by myself and I have a son that comes all the way from Baltimore to Aberdeen to check on me every day since Saturday and Sunday.
I tell him to stay with his wife. I would come by and see you if I could miss Catherine. But listen, you call me up anytime.
I got to get to some more callers. It was a pleasure. Let me tell you something is Catherine speaking to you.
It was the highlight of my week. I'm not lying. Okay.
Miss Catherine. Thank you so much. Well, that makes me feel that you are highlight of my life cause that's why I was before to get to something like, Oh, like this and I couldn't get on.
So this time I got off. I feel like you just made my day. You made my day.
You and you made my week. You have no idea. This is not even, you probably let's miss Catherine. I think anybody who listens to me knows I don't necessarily exercise in a radio hyperbole. I'm not out here sitting around giving a, what do you call it?
I'm not doing, I don't play radio. I don't make stuff up. Talking to someone real like you, miss, miss Catherine, you know, it put a smile on my face. You know, we all got our ups and downs.
I'm in a down. Yes, go ahead. Miss Catherine, go ahead. Let me say this before you go off.
Okay. Listen, I listen to you every night. I listen to you on the radio because I'm not a TV person.
I'm a radio person and every night I tried to get on once before and I didn't get on. But I am, I feel like, Oh, you don't know how this made my day. It's just made my day.
That makes two of us. And people tend to forget that there's human beings on the other side of phones and speakers and all, all this stuff. Being a human is good every now and then. Miss Catherine, you write down, you write down the number and you listen to me every night. You feel free to call me whenever you want to. Okay. Oh, okay.
The number is eight eight, seven, seven, four. Yes. And you call me, you'd be like, where's Jr. Okay.
And these guys were, they'll, they'll find me somewhere. If I'm not here, y'all be back later. Okay. Okay. Okay. You have a wonderful evening and you have a great weekend. Okay.
Miss Catherine. Thank you. Okay. Have a good night. You made my day. You were, you, we made each other's week and thank you, miss Catherine.
Talk to you later. You made my week too. You made my year, whatever. I love you. I love you. Love you too. Love you too. Good night.
Enjoy your show. Cause I love to do it every night. I do too.
They make me sit here. Thank you, Catherine. Yeah.
You're welcome. Okay. Bye bye. Shout out to miss Catherine.
Yeah. She made, she made my week. Nico, she made my week.
She put a smile on my face. That what it might've been. It's only, it's only what?
May 30th. But that so far is the call of the year. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. If I didn't have that conversation with miss Catherine, I would have locked out this studio to punch somebody's lights out for no reason.
Miss Catherine saved everybody. 8 8 8 7 7 4 ISN. That's 8 8 8 7 7 4.
Man. She says she got six boys. She had six boys. They all prefer running a athletics program.
She was a mathematician. I wonder if Nico, you think I could get a set up to fix my taxes? I don't see why not. Give it a shot. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Shout out to miss Catherine.
She going to be 95 years old. That's amazing. Hey, 8 8 8 7 7 4 ISN.
That's 8 8 8 7 7 4 ISN. We got Daniel here from Florida. Daniel, you're on the JR sport reshow. What's up? Um, my question is, um, hold on, Daniel.
Hold on a second. Daniel. Hello. How are you? Oh, how are you?
Yeah. When you talk to someone, you say hello. You know, there's this pleasantries here. How was your day? You good?
Oh, mommy. I'm good. My bad. Okay.

I don't see too much, but turn the radio. Oh, my goodness. Daniel, hold on, man.
You got to talk to me and not the not listen to yourself at the same time. You know how to use technology, Daniel. Come on, man. And let's go to Andrew in Colorado.
I think he can do better. Hold on, Daniel. We'll get back.
888-774 ISN. Andrew from Colorado. What's up, man? How you doing, JR? Good to be on the show with you, my man. No doubt about it.
What's going on with you? Well, you know, I'm a little sad about my nuggets, but, uh, you know, I'm glad they gave the OKC a run for their money, at least to the 17th. And they gave Adelman the job. So, I mean, you should be happy with that.
He did good in a couple of weeks. You know, I mean, you know, it'll work at least. I think it's just a one year thing for now. No, no, no. We got us.
Well, everything is a one year thing. It's more important. It's more important to see what they do with that roster. But what else you got? Well, I mean, I think OKC is going to take it all.
That's my prediction. But I do have a joke for you. And I'm super pleased to just be able to listen to you every night.
I'm a delivery driver, so it's cool to talk to you on the phone. But here's my joke. Yes. So this guy went to get his checkup and the doctor came back to. Well, I got some bad news for you. Unfortunately, you have cancer. And you also have Alzheimer's disease. OK. And the guy says, well, at least I don't have cancer. What?
What do you want? You get it? I didn't. I thought you said he has cancer and Alzheimer's.
I'm like this. He does. But the patient, he didn't remember that he had cancer. Oh, my goodness.
He already forgot. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hey, Nico, do we have a sound effect that the guy just says that joke sucks?
That Nico, that's somewhere, I think. Oh, my God. Oh, thank you, Andrew. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Come on. You know, there's this new thing where people do the thumb just kind of straight across.
That's what I'm doing right now. That's not. Oh, brother. Yeah, there we go.
Oh, boy. All right. You laughing is making me laugh. That joke. That was OK. Good. Good.
Next time I'm calling with a Scandinavian joke. Well, this is stupid. Yeah.
If it's not about the Minnesota Vikings, save it. Thank you, Andrew. OK. All right. Yeah. Take it. Take it easy. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, damn it. Anything that starts with cancer and Alzheimer's is I'm like, this is going to be a joke.
I don't I think not. And I was correct about that one. Eight eight eight, seven, ten for ISN. That's eight eight eight, seven, ten for ISN. Yeah, we got some booze in the back.
There's some booze out there, too. Let's talk to Jim from Arizona. It Jim you on the J.R.

He was a physicist. I don't know. She made my day, too. I got a Friday funny. Yes. I'm sorry. I got a Friday funny joke. Yeah. Yeah.
All right. So it's Italian time for him to tell me this joke. OK, so young Italian man about ready to graduate from high school, goes home one evening and goes in the house. And his dad said, son, come with me. He takes him into his den and there's he said, this is for you.
This is your graduation gift. There's a mahogany box on the desk. He opens it up and it's chrome plated coal forty five pistol. He looks at his dad kind of quizzical and says, well, thank you, dad. So then about two weeks later, he comes home and he's wearing a gold Rolex watch. And his father says, Giuseppe, well, you'll get that gold watch. And he said, oh, dad, you know, the the co pistol that you gave me, I traded for it.
And this is worth a lot more. So his dad says, Giuseppe, you come with me. So he takes him in the den, goes to the door, says, Giuseppe, have a seat. He says, Giuseppe, you go to college, you graduate from college, right? And Giuseppe goes, yeah, yeah, dad.
He says, when you become a successful, you open your business, you become a successful Italian businessman, right? And he goes, yeah, dad. Then he says, you marry a beautiful Italian woman some day. He goes, yeah, dad.
He said, then one day you come home early from work. He said, you go into the living room to greet your wife. She's not there. Then you go to the kitchen. She's not there. Then you go to the bedroom, Giuseppe. There she is with another man. What's you going to do, Giuseppe?
Point to your watch and say, time's up. Okay. Yeah, I get it. Yeah.
You want to use the pistol? Well, thank you, Jim. Jim. Okay, Jim.

We come back on the other side of the break. I did tell you about the national spelling bee. That was the second most watched thing in America yesterday sports wise. Even behind, you know, NHL was behind the spelling bee. It was. I don't know.
I didn't look up no stupid ratings. We'll talk about the spelling bee. We'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. I will get some more of your calls. If you haven't, we've had a couple of jokes.
I haven't yet to laugh at one of them. 888-710-4ISN. It's the JR Sportbreeze show coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Oh man, when this, when this came out with Pharrell, oh my goodness. This was jamming. This song was called fronting.
This song was crazy. Hey, anyway, no fronting here. It's the JR Sportbreeze show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm going to get to your calls. Man, y'all got, today y'all got some lame long jokes. These jokes are taking 30 seconds and 40.
Just tell me a joke. Knock, knock. Who's there? Nobody. Nobody who nobody a business.
I don't know. That wasn't a joke, but it took me five seconds to do that. Anyway, I'll get to the phones in a second and talk about this young man who won the national spelling bee. If you got a brain, you could win $50,000.
I guess you got to be a kid too. But anyway, this NASCAR race preview is sponsored by Weatherguard Truck and Van Equipment. They're justice driven as the hardworking pros they serve. This Sunday, the NASCAR cup series heads down the Nashville Speedway for the Cracker Bow 400. Kyle Larson is the current favorite while Joey Logano looks to defend his title. The race gets underway this Sunday at 7 p.m. Eastern. And so yeah, watch the Knicks tomorrow.
Watch the Pacers and then check out this in Nashville on Sunday. 888-710-4ISN. 888-710-4ISN. Who's this? Jim from Idaho. You're on the J.R. sport re-show. What's up, Jim? How you doing, J.R.? I'm amazing.
What's up? Hey, I'm a 76 year old retired military veteran and I want to wish you a great Memorial Day belated. Well, thank you so much. Well, thank you for being here. Thank you for your service.
I appreciate you, Jim. Thank you. I mean, I'm a Vietnam veteran, Desert Storm veteran and a weapons being a veteran, all three. And I want to say God bless America and I'm proud to admit I was able to serve my country the way I did. Well, thank you for your service.
Thank you. But anyway, enough about me. I'd like to tell you a joke. I had another one I was going to tell you, but I'll shorten. I'll tell you a shorter one. And it's a clean one. Jesus and Moses are off the golf course.
Oh my God. And Jesus is ready to tee off the first ball and he gets in his bag and he pulls out the three iron. And Moses said to Jesus, no, Jesus, you need a 10 wood. And Jesus says, no, no Tiger Woods would use a three iron and he hits the ball straight down the fairway and kapalunk right into the drink. And Jesus says, Moses, go get the ball, park the water.
So Moses gets the ball, bring it back to him. He does it three times. Yes, he does this three times. And finally, finally, the fourth time he said, Jesus, you need to use a 10 wood.
And he hits it down and goes kapalunk again. Did Moses go get the ball? And Jesus said, and Moses said, no, you go get a Jesus. So Jesus is walking on the water and the next group comes up behind him and says, hey, hey, who does that guy think he is? Jesus Christ.
And Moses says, no, he thinks he's Tiger Woods. Okay, Jim. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah. I like that.
That was it took a while, but I like that one better than all the others, Jim. Thank you, man. You're welcome. And have a great day. God bless you. You as well.
Thank you so much. Yeah, it took us a while to get there. I didn't know where it was going. I'm like, oh boy, here we go.
You got Jesus and Moses. I said, this guy's going to have me back in the New York Post again. I don't need that in my life. New York Post has never written anything nice about me. Hey, New York Post writes something nice for once. Okay.
It's like they sit around and wait for one bad thing to happen. Anyway, I was like, here we go. New York Postman.
Just just what I need. Oh, wow. Yeah. Who does that guy think he is? Jesus? No, he thinks he's Tiger Woods. The whole time I'm saying to myself, Tiger Woods wasn't around two thousand twenty five years ago.
I guess two thousand fifty five years ago. I don't know. Anyway, eight, eight, eight, seven, ten for ISN. Oh, Daniel is back from Florida. Let's see if he's he's ready. Daniel, you good? Oh, no, Daniel. He said he was 15. I guess he went out on a date or something.
OK, Andrew, that's what Nico do. Fifteen year olds go out on dates. They're too young, right? No, my first date was when I was 13. So excuse me, you went out on a date. You somebody let their daughter go out with you when they were 13. So I guess I should clarify, me and this girl went to the movies, but her two friends sat like three rows behind us.
So it wasn't legit, I guess, technically. So families, it wasn't a date. I mean, yeah, it was I brought flowers. It was nice. Me and her sat alone and then the two friends sat a couple of rows back. Her parents knew that you took her out.
I would hope so. How does. Oh, so you don't know.
How does that we met there. So it's not like I like picked her up or anything. An eighth grade, an eighth grader can just do what they want. I guess so. Man, you driving a car when you were seven. Man, I don't know what was I doing at eight. You know what?
I would go to my friends houses, but I didn't go on no dates. Damn. Wow. Man. Wow.
Nico. Impressive. That's impressive. Wow. Eighth grade. Wow.
Damn. Eight, eight, eight, seven, ten for ISN. That's eight, eight, eight, seven, ten for ISN. Alan is here from Florida. What's up, Alan?
Hello, Jay. I have a lust for congratulations on the six o'clock slot. I used to listen to you all the time later.
And yeah, it was really nice. You spending time with a 95 year old lady. But man, you got a 95 year old lady listens to you every night.
How strong is that? I got a lot of ladies that listen to me every night. I just can't talk about him, Alan. Well, I understand that.
But 95 years old, man, that's that's unique. You know, OK, I got a short joke for you. What?
OK, go ahead. Thank you. What does a basketball player do when he loses his eyesight ? I don't know. Tell me.
Becomes a referee. OK, that's a good one. Short and sweet.
Tied it in together. That was a thank you, Alan. That was a good joke. I appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah.
Tied up together. All right. Thanks for your time. Of course, Alan. Hey, Marco, you like that joke, right? I like that one. That's not bad.
Short and sweet. That's the best part. I know. And there's a lot of referees that actual now I think there may be a couple of them that actually played in the league. So there you have it. Really? They actually made it to the league.
There's like one or two referees that actually played in the league. Yeah. No kidding.
I didn't know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
The more you know, there's some good stuff. Nico, before we before we hit the news. Can we talk about the kid who won the spelling bee?
Yeah, let's do it. He's not going out on no dates, right? He's no, he's not going out on dates.
Not that I know of you. Marco, did you hear Nico say he went out on a date when he was in the eighth grade? I did hear that.
That's good job by Nico. I won't say I can't imagine the ability to have parents involved and be able to do all that stuff. I mean, we hung out in eighth grade, but we had no money. So we didn't really go nowhere.
There were a lot of stoops sitting. You know, we did that. But I don't know about no movies. Good for you. Shout outs to Nico. Well, this kid who won the spelling bee last night, we know he ain't go to no. He's not going on dates.
This guy's going to solve the world's problems. Nico, how do you want to do this? Because obviously we want to make fun of me and my inability to spell.
So what are we doing here? So I can play just the guy saying what the word is. We won't include the little kids spelling it and then we'll see if you could do it first.
OK, so I follow your lead, Nico. What's the young man's name? Faizan Zaki. He won the spelling bee. He last year he came in second.
This year he won. So let's hear this word. Your word is. A Claire C. Small. Oh, what?
Play it again. A Claire C. Small. A Claire C. Small. Nico, I should ask you for the definition, right?
Do you have one now? I do, actually. What's the definition? Well, actually, it's not in English.
So hang on. It's OK. It's the foreign word for enlightenment. The foreign word? What?
The country of origin, please. Come on. It's no, no, it's not telling me.
OK, and play it again. What's the word? A Claire C. Small.
I feel like I'm on ESPN like the kid. Marco, I feel important. E. C. L. A. I. R. Eclair. Eclair. Eclair C. Eclair C. Eclair C. Eclair. Eclair C. C. Eclair C. Small. Small.
Small. S. M. A. L. L. Right? No? Did I get it wrong? You were close.
You made good progress. It was E. C. L. A. I. R. C. I. S. S. E. M. E. N. T. Don't we have the kid spelling it? Yeah, we do. You want to play that?
Let's do it. Yeah, we don't want to hear you get a kid. Your word is a Claire C. Small. A Claire C. Small. E. C. L. A. I. R. C. I. S. S. E. M. E. N. T. Eclair C. Small. That is correct. All right, forget that kid.
All right, whatever. Nico, a Claire C. Small? There's got to be French.
That was my thought, too. Yeah, there's not a damn thing in English that's meant, M. E. N. T. ends in ment. Small as S. M. A. L. L. Marco, were you trying? Could you have got that? No, I'm maybe hungry, though. I was thinking of a Claire's.
But other than that, no chance. Yeah, that kid, he got like $50,000. No wonder he was so excited. You hear that little voice go up at the end.
You knew he had it. Well, how old is he? Let's see. I don't know, like 12, 13.
What are they? Old enough to go on a date to the movies, right? That's right.
If you can get your parents to take you. Faizan. There you go. This is named Faizan Zaki age.
Here we go. How old is this guy? Oh, he's 14 years in eighth grade.
Yeah, but he's not. You think he goes on dates? If you can spell that in the eighth grade, you going on dates?
I'm going to go with no. But you know what? The world's changed, man.
So I don't know what's cool and what's not at 14 when I was 14. No, no. Yeah, he's going to be playing in the NBA sooner than later. Watch Faizan Zaki won the spelling bee and he's going to be number one overall pick in about five years.
Congratulations, Faizan Zaki. It's the J.R. Sportbreeze show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break when we come back. We're going to talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. We're going to start to wrap things up.
The J.R. Sportbreeze show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We've talked about a lot. The Pacers and the Knicks talk some Stanley Cup finals action that we have to wait until next week for. Unfortunately, Zion Williamson has been accused.
Keyword accused of rape in a relationship that dates back to his time at Duke. Oh, man, we've had some great guests on. Thank you to Eddie White, who covers the Pacers.
And thank you to Sean Powell, who covers all things NBA on NBA dot com. We've had some jokes. We've talked about Kyle Pitts possibly being done here in Atlanta. Bryce Huff looks like he's going to be traded from Philadelphia back. Well, not back.
Well, he's going to be traded back to Rob Salah, who's now the defensive coordinator out in San Francisco. We've had a busy, busy show. And then we've heard some ridiculous things like Greg Doyle just bothering Pascal Siakam. Well, what do you mean they played harder than you? How did they play hard in you?
Why did they play harder than you? Just the same guy who has told Caitlin Clark, I love you. I love you with every ounce of like, what are we doing anyway? We're getting ready to talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. I'm going to get some more of your phone calls. We're going to end on a high note, I hope with some Friday funny jokes.
You know what? This is a good opportunity to go back in time. It's time for a few things that took place this day in sports history.
It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. It is May 30th, 2025. By the time I'm back here with you on Monday, it will be June.
Wow. We're almost halfway through the year. How did we get here? I feel like it was only months ago I was sitting in a giant bucket of Cheez-Its on national television. Oh yeah, I was. I was sitting in a bucket of Cheez-Its. And six months later, what am I doing?
Standing here in my favorite box, the studio. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Hey, let's go back to May 30th. Speaking of hockey, 1985.
I know everybody in Edmondson. I hope they want the same thing. The Oilers. They beat the Philadelphia Flyers in game five. They smoked them. Oh my goodness. Eight to three. So we're not only their second championship all-time, their second consecutive championship.
I know everybody in Edmondson. They want this thing to happen again. Take a listen. Time running down the line. Yeah, that was courtesy of USA Sports. I mean, in that playoffs all the way through Wayne Gretzky set a playoff record.
What else is new? He had 47 points. That's a lot.
That's a lot. Hey, May 30th, 1987. Mike Tyson knocked out Pinklin Thomas. He just won the heavyweight title at the end of the year before.
Should be 86. And then he decided to knock out my man from Michigan. Shout out to people from Michigan. Listen to this. This is courtesy of home box office. It's over. It is over.
Did not make it by the count of 10. Oh man. Mike Tyson was that guy was Pinklin. Thomas was almost 30 years old at that time. Mike Tyson was 20. Man.
What's my type? I guess he's counting money or smoking and nevermind. May 30th, 2011. Oh man, this was crazy. Jim Trestle. He quit. He said, I'm out of here. This is when the NCA was investigating him. His players were selling stuff to the guy in the neighborhood. This was just a wild story.
Listen to this, uh, as, as shared by the associated press. Jim Trestle has resigned as Ohio state football coach. He stepped down amid a scandal in which players traded memorabilia for cash and other considerations among them star quarterback Terrell prior, who with other players has been suspended for the first five games of next season. It was found that Trestle knew of the violations, but didn't notify university officials or the NCAA until nine months after we found out. I guess we don't have to worry about stuff like that anymore. Right?
Guys are getting paid. Now it's just about gambling and wait until a college athlete gets caught up in that. It is a, it's just, just a matter of time. Hey, and yeah, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. Let's go to some, forget history. Let's talk about the now eight, eight, eight, seven, seven, four ISN.
That's eight, eight, eight, seven, seven, four ISN. Let's get to some of your, uh, your calls here before we roll out. Hey, let's go to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Let's talk to Bella. Hey Bella, you're on the JR sport re-show. What's going on?
Hey JR, I've followed you for a long time. It's the first time I've talked to you. How are you? I'm amazing. How are you Bella? I'm good. Um, I have a stupid joke for you.
I'm ready for it. Yes I am. All right. Why do hummingbirds hum? Why do hummingbirds hum? I don't know.
Because they don't know the words. Oh, okay. Okay. All right.
See, it's on par with the other jokes, right? Yes. Because I'm in Calgary.
Yes. We hate Edmonton. They're like two and a half hours away from here. We hate them. We hate them.
I'm sure you like your flames fan, huh? Thank you. Thank you. All right.
I'll let you get to other calls. Thank you Bella. Nice to talk to you. Okay. Take care. I appreciate you. Bye you and thanks to Nico. Bye. Thank you.
Thank you Bella. I like that one. Nico, did you like that joke? I liked it. Yeah, that was pretty good.
It was second to the blind referees. It's Sean from Baltimore. You're going to get the last crack at this. I hope it's funny. Sean, you're on the JR sport reshow.
Go ahead. Sean, you're live on the radio. Sean, is this the joke?
I guess this is the joke. Yep. Sean going once.
Sean going twice. Gone. Bella's was the best joke. Nico, you don't have no jokes, do you? No. Comedy's not my, my, my thing.
Me neither. Hey, here's a joke. Aaron rod. Here's a report that just, well, first of all, here's a couple of things as we leave, uh, Mookie Betts stubbed his toe. He's day-to-day Aaron Rogers has not told the Steelers he's signing with them.
Okay, fine. I mean, what do we expect them from Aaron Rogers at this point in time? I expect a whole lot of nothing. Uh, Paige Becker's, uh, the rookie in the WNBA who is not hated on, uh, she's in concussion protocol. And yeah, I mean, we talked about some of the other news items that came down the pipe earlier today.
Unfortunately Zion Williamson, I told you this man was accused of, of rape. Uh, did we miss anything? I feel like we've had a, a, a busy show.
Nico. Like I feel like we've hit upon everything on earth. I mean, we talked about the spelling bee. Yeah. This was a very eventful four hours. Yeah.
Yeah. What the heck are you doing for the weekend? You making money? You'll be here. I will be here tomorrow night and Sunday night living the dream. Just take, take the money.
Nico, just take the money as much as you can. I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on this weekend. I mean, besides watching basketball, I got to find something to watch on Sunday. What the heck is going on on Sunday? We got spring football still going on.
Is that a thing? Well, like the UFL and all that a UFL XFL. I don't, I can't keep, did they have the championship already?
I don't know. I think there's some playoff games going on tonight. So man, you know, I guess I watched the college world series, right? There you go. Ladies are still playing softball.
Yeah. They just started, I believe yesterday was the first day of games. And I was watching that last weekend, so I don't know what the heck they, I was watching lacrosse on a Memorial day. They always have the championship.
That's always a good watch. And shout out to everybody in Baltimore. That's what I actually saw the championship a long time ago in Baltimore and shout out to everybody playing lacrosse, man.
The first time I saw lacrosse and I'm like, man, they are beating the living hell out of each other with these sticks. You can get out some legal aggression. I like it. Anyway, thank you so much to Eddie White who covers the Pacers for joining us. Thank you so much to Sean Powell who covers all things NBA. Thank you to Nico Nico. Great hanging out with you, man.
