Talk about all this crazy movement going on. Hey, we found out that you could Airbnb Michael Jordan's old Chicago house.
If you have a You know, six figures and seven days to stay, okay? We talked about Andrew Reese and RG3 out here beefing. RG3, I think he just needs to shut up. He's like, oh, you know, don't be racist to Angel Reese. But by the way, I still know that she hates Caitlin Clark.
What a guy Anyway, Of course, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. We'll do that at the end of the show as we always do. And then this is going to be pretty fun. You know, I've been talking about the Club World Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup. I went and saw a Paris Saint Germain here on On Saturday, We're going to have a chat with one student from Morgan State University in Baltimore.
Because some of the students at Morgan State, they actually they took a class to learn how to, you know, follow and and cover games. And so, as a result, I'm like, you know what? Let's go ahead and talk to one of the students.
So we got Julia from Morgan State University. She's going to come through. She's been to like five. FIFA Club World Cup matches. And I just want to get her perspective because soccer is growing here, football is growing here in the United States of America.
And I want to learn more about what she did, what she learned, what's going on, who she thinks is going to win. Batra, I know you're you're you're getting into the game. Are you going to take some time to watch on Sunday? On what time? What time Sunday is the question?
3 p.m. Eastern Time is the finale, okay? Who's playing? Because I Like five years ago, I gave a small Part of my heart to Tottenham. And I don't know if I want to follow that still.
Tottenham is is not here.
Okay, it's not here. The final is between Chelsea and P S G.
So, because Tottenham is not here, because they're in no hotspur, you're not going to watch. No, I'm going to watch. I think it's going for PSG then, right? Because they're in a different league. Then different.
Yeah, they're French league. That's English Premier League Tottenham is. And is uh Mbappe still on P S G? 3 teams. Mbappe is on Real Madrid.
He got beefed with PSG right now.
Okay, because he left there. He did.
Okay. Yeah. Mm. Look at you. Look at you know some stuff.
How about that? But who who's the star player now? There's quite a few guys. I would say, listen to me. Dembele is probably the best player.
Look out for Dembele. I prefer that name. The few times I did play FIFA. I saw him play. He was here on, he scored a goal yesterday as they wiped out Real Madrid 4-0.
And then this past Saturday he Here in Atlanta, he scored a goal. He came on late, I don't know, maybe in the 80th minute or so. And he came on, people were loving it. They were cheering, ah, and then he scored a goal, everybody was happy. It's fun.
Watch, this should be a good one. I'm gonna. Hey, if you're gonna put some money down botcher, root for PSG, okay? I don't know. I don't like betting like that on things I really have no idea what's going on.
Oh, boy.
Okay. Well, sometimes those are the best bets. No, no, right. Yes, no, so.
Sometimes. Possible. Anyway. Hey, if you want to make a bet, Make a bet on Jalen Williams. 'Cause this guy today He got Paid, listen to this from CBS Sports.
HQ. We've got some breaking news out of the NBA where Jalen Williams and the Thunder have agreed to a five-year rookie max extension, which can reach a maximum value of $287 million. That is according to ESPN.
So the deal will reach its max value if Williams is named to an all-NBA or defensive team, wins MVP, or wins Defensive Player of the Year. Williams was named to his first All-NBA team last season and, of course, helped lead the Thunders their first title since moving to OKC. He averaged a career high of 21 and a half points, five boards, and five assists per game. The Thunder have now committed $822 million to their core three over the past week and a half. And that includes, of course, the MVP, SGA, Chet Holmgren, and now Jalen Williams.
Yeah, committed. Commitment. Yeah, they've committed $822 million to all three of those guys. I hope Chet Hongram holds up. Botcha, you think Chet Holmgren will gain five more pounds in his career?
I hope so. I don't know if that man every year in healthy, not healthy, healthy, not healthy. What do you think? And I'm not saying he does. Of course, he eats.
I'm sure he's downing thousands and thousands of calories a day. How much food do you think he eats? He eats all day, probably, right? He's got to have at least 4,000 calories a day. Just how tall he is and probably how much he weighs.
And he just burns it. He probably burns, he probably has more than that. He just burns all of it. He's like seven was he seven one, seven two? Yeah, I think he's about seven think about seven one seven.
I'll think he's seven two. Think about seven seven flat, seven one. Yeah, so he's got he's always moving too, so Yeah, he needs to see it a lot. This is gonna sound crazy. Big dudes, tall dudes, they sweat, man.
Like just being that big, being that huge. Like, your heart has to work so damn much. Listen to me, I'm not a doctor, but your heart is working so much. When I worked at NBA TV, shout outs to Brendan Haywood and Shaq and all of those guys. They'd be in the green room, and I'd be in there right there with them, and it's just like.
Damn, why the AC so high all the time or so low? Like you would step on to set to work These guys would have fa I'd be freezing and they'd have fans with them. Because they would be sweating just by sitting. And it's just like, well, you're 7-1, and you're 7-1, and you're 7-1, and you're 7- and they're all just sitting around sweating like pigs. Just b just by being alive, Bacha.
I'm like, damn. I get it. You know, you think somebody, the body's working overtime just by being alive, okay.
Well, that makes more sense now. But but then they have to counter that by eating so much and it's absurd. Not no, not no, no. I'm talking about the older guys. I'm talking about the The mole guys, you think See, out see hit his he's running up and down a basketball court.
Major half the year if he's healthy. I don't think Chet Holmgrim sits down and just starts sweating. Shaq, on the other hand, Shaq sits down. And he starts to perspire, unless he's in a nice box. It's just how it goes.
Yeah. I could see that.
Now that you bring it up, a lot of people who are tall or kind of sweaty.
Okay. Yeah, okay. Between being tall and sweaty, yeah, because you just big. I don't know, your body got to work overtime. Like a big person sitting down is like me running on the treadmill.
Is that equal? No, no, no. Probably not.
Okay. I got the point. The cardio they have just by being alive. Cooper flag has 10 points. He's 5 of 15 from the field with 3 rebounds and assist.
One assist.
So. He's doing a damn thing. I guess. Not not shooting great, though. Five of fifteen.
Bronnie James tried the Defend them and a referee called the foul. But these are like. I don't even want to say G-League refs, but they are. We don't know where these referees are coming from. You don't know where they're going either.
They might get fired after this. Speaking of someone we don't know where the hell they're going, Yanis Atela Kumpo. I don't know how much longer he's going to stay in Milwaukee. It might be a year. Who knows?
and we had a great chat. Earlier in the show. with Keith Smith from Spotrack. And I said, What's the deal with Giannis? And he's like, Well, Giannis.
To me, it appears that Giannis doesn't want to pull the trigger. He doesn't want to be the guy that said, I wanted to leave, I wanted to go. And so he's waiting until This is almost this is Botri, do you you know about this? You ever been in a relationship or seen one? Where it's just like you don't want to be the one to break up, you want the other person to do it.
Well, I've seen that before. I've never been in one, but I've seen that. Yeah. It's like It's like, let me be a jerk here. And so this person breaks up.
And so, I don't have to be the one to break out.
So, I don't got to be the bad guy.
So, it happens. That's what I feel like what's going on between Giannis and the Bucs. And naturally, they want to give it a crack. The Bucs don't want this guy to go anywhere. And I think that he doesn't want to go anywhere.
But I think they both know. This relationship is not going anywhere. Giannis was having a chat with the guy, I show speed. This streamer guy, I don't know what he does besides run and do exercises. He was having a chat with Giannis.
And they were talking about destinations, it was like New York, and Giannis is like.
Well, they asked me to go to the Knicks, and I showed speed. It's like, oh, the taxes are bad there. Just listen to this. LA to tax is bad. New York tax is bad.
Yeah. Hell no. A lot of people try to convince me. Try to convince me to go and play there. And stuff?
Oh no.
So you staying in Milwaukee? Uh pr probably. Probably. We'll see. Probably a low manufacture.
Probably, probably, we'll see. Anybody that says probably, probably, we'll see about any relationship. Is in a crap relationship. You cannot probably, probably will see anything. when it comes to being with anybody.
A basketball team. A girlfriend, a wife, a significant whatever the heck it is. You like that person? You want to be with them? Are you going to stay together?
Probably, probably. We'll see. Yeah, no. That's not going to uh elicit. uh a lot of confidence from uh From anybody And so apparently they've been getting a lot of calls.
When I say they, The box Brian Winhorse says that Giannis is Probably, probably we'll see. Has made some of the other people around the corner come and knocking. Listen. We'll see is the basis of why a bunch of teams are considering holding their assets to try to make a trade for Giannis sometime in the foreseeable future. We'll see is enough in the NBA.
That's the value of a superstar player is so high. And the impact that one franchise-changing player can make is so great that a player simply saying we'll see, whether it's on a stream or it's behind the scenes at a party or to another player on a court, we'll see, has gotten teams to tear up future plans and to plan years in advance and to hoard cap space and picks. I've seen it happen.
So, while on one hand, it's not Giannis saying he wants to do anything but be in Milwaukee, it does explain why teams are keeping a very close eye on this situation. And I would say that Giannis provided no clarity on his future with those remarks. And no clarity is what's been driving the speculation around Giannis. Yeah, that's Taking It's akin time bomb may be a little too strong. But that situation the clock is ticking.
And I compared this to like when not quite. I don't think Giannis would do this. I don't think he's uh as obsessed or obsessed as much with uh his His public perception is Russell Wilson. Bach, remember when Russell Wilson was trying to leave Seattle? And he had his agent basically You know, start putting out statements about, you know, where he's looking to go.
But, you know, so he could basically. He could blame the agent. And he can kind of wipe his hands of it because he never wanted to come out and say, I wanted to leave. He had his agent go out there and do the dirty work because Russell Wilson could never be looked upon as the guy who wants to quit. He can never be the guy who wants to leave.
Somebody else has to do it. He just wanted to cook? That's all he wanted to do. Oh, boy.
He wanted to throw the pet cow wouldn't let him cook. Yep. And that was probably the main. storyline that pushed him out of there, he wouldn't fit in the offense. He wasn't cooking anymore.
And then the agent stuff comes out and then you next thing you know he's in Denver. Yeah, you see w well, we see how he's been cooking the past couple of years, right? He wasn't so bad last year. Do you want his cooking? He started to stink.
He started off hot and then he started to stink. He can't move the way he used to. No, but it was it wasn't as bad as the Denver years though. Oh, no well, no well, I mean, I'm not comparing them. There's nothing bad.
We can you won you got Sean Payton on speed dial? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah. How do you think Sean Payton feels about him?
You think he sucks, right? 100%. Yeah, okay. Well, just making sure. Yeah.
I think we know that. I think we know that. I think Mike Tomlin, does Mike Tommin think he sucks? Yes. He's better than Justin Fields.
You know that. Uh uh They're both in New York right now, ironically. One place for the New York Giants, one place for the New York Jets. Yeah, so yeah, you gotta say One got benched for the other. Do you think Who do you think is going to have a better season?
This year, I think, Fields. 'Cause he actually can just have no pressure with someone behind him. He's just going to play.
Okay, then we agree. I I think so too. I don't know if Russell Wilson is going to last this season. No, not at all. Was he going to pull a hamstring?
Not hamstring. What do you do? Like, his calf? He's going to pull a calf? His calf might hurt or.
You just keep losing till they'll put Jameson and then they'll put Jackson Darden. Oh my god. You think we'll see Jackson Dart start this year for the Giants? Yeah, late in the year. One yeah, you'll get a game.
It'll be December, and everybody will be up in arms, and then we'll have an entire eight-month controversy until the next season as to who should be the New York Giants starting quarterback. We'll have Giant fans screaming for Jackson Dart. Even if he throws four touchdowns and five interceptions, he'll have one good game. People are like, oh my God, he's the future. We need to put him out there.
Meanwhile, Tommy DeVito When are they going to cut him? Can they cut him? Are they allowed to cut him, or is he like a national treasure for New Jersey? They could hire him as a mascot. Is isn't that what he already does?
He's m he he he's a part-time player. At this point, but he could be a mascot. Like, he goes around with chicken cutlets and throws them in the crowd. Oh, man. Pfft.
Okay. All right. What, from his mom from mom's house? His mom's gonna make him? Yeah, put 'em in like a you get like a a wo woven basket and have chicken colours in there and toss them to the crowd when they're losing by thirty.
Okay. Alright.
Well, it's July. I give him until He's gonna get cut on final cut day, huh? They're going to put him on a practice squad. No, no, no. There's an NFL team.
Is there another NFL team that would put him on their squad? As the backup or the third string? Oh, damn. No, he can't be nobody's backup. He'd have to be, he'd be a third-string quarterback on another team.
Yeah, but that basically means you're on the practice squad, right? But would he accept being on the practice squad just to stay at home in New Jersey? Yes, I think he would. This poor guy was charging for autographs. At a local pizzeria, and now he's about to be in a practice squad.
I'd asked him, well, he didn't end up charging. I think it came out, and he's just like, no, I'm assigned for free. I'd give him his autograph back. No, not good. I it's kinda memorable at this point.
He came in, won a couple of games, ruined the Giants' odds of getting a good quarterback. Yeah. Jane Daniels. Who did you meet? I met I was gonna say Dandy DeVito.
I met what's his name, Tommy DeVito? Oh, I met Tommy DeVito. You met Danny? No, Tommy. Who's that?
Oh, anyway. It's the JR Sport Reeshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Hey, we got the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks playing out here.
For people that are real interested, Bronnie James has eight points. when two or four shooting Cooper flag, has ten points on five of fifteen. Los Angeles Lakers are leading the Mavericks 51-50 in the NBA Summer League. Yeah, this is the matchup. I'm not watching one after this, sorry.
And the summer league for me is over. I watch the highlights. We'll take a break when we come back. Let's talk about some of the highlights from the FIFA Club World Cup. We're going to have a chat with Julia, one of the students from Morgan State University in Baltimore, who's been able to go out.
and and see the world from a different perspective, from the media's perspective. Don't move here on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I know we got Bronnie James and Cooper Flag going on.
I know we got tennis going on, but on Sunday, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, we're going to have the finale for the FIFA Club World Cup. We're going to see PSG go out there and take on Chelsea. But right now, I want to talk about a school that I've worked with for a few years out in Baltimore. Shout outs to everybody listening up in Baltimore. I've been working with Morgan State University on a few things, and their students have been able to learn a few things in order to go out and cover the tournament.
I was able to connect them with some folks. Shoutouts to JT.
So they could go out there and get a full-on experience covering soccer, which we know is the world's most popular sport. Right now, I'm being joined by one of the students from Morgan State University, Julia Fosa. Julia, how are you? I'm great. How are you?
I am terrific. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for having me. Absolutely. Explain to everybody the program that you were in this past semester.
Yes, so it's a collaboration with the School of Global Journalism and Communication and Black Soccer Lab.
So we worked on a show called Gold Keepers. And we basically just followed around and told untold stories about the FIFA Club World Cup, and also the USA team was going through their Gold Cup tournament. And we really just went to the games, told stories about black players. kept up with game stats and just different stories here and there that we wanted to tell. Awesome.
Now, with the FIFA Club World Cup, it's been going on for a month now. You went to a few matches, you went to a bunch of matches. What were you up to? We went to five different matches. We did stay kind of on the East Coast, but we went to Miami, MetLife, we went to Philly.
So we've been to a couple matches. Julia Folsa is here with us from Morgan State University. And so, what are you studying in school right now?
So, right now, I'm a junior multimedia journalism major, and I think I'm going to add on a history minor this semester, but multimedia journalism is what I'm all about.
Okay, great. Yeah, learn to tack on some history. If you don't learn your history, you don't know where the heck you're going. But outside of that, you were able to get out to so many. Of these soccer matches.
You saw some of the best teams, some of the best players in the world. I saw PSG here in Atlanta this past Saturday. Dambele was out there, had a goal. I know you saw him, what, yesterday, and he scored another goal in that deep down that they gave. What have you learned from this hands-on experience going out and covering being credentialed these matches?
For once, being in the room tells you so much. And also looking around in the room and seeing who's also in the room with you also speaks a lot. But not only that, you know, I didn't really grow up being a soccer fan. My family's Cameroonian and my brother's obsessed.
So I kind of was a soccer fan adjacent. But this summer definitely reignited that spirit in my heart to, you know, keep up with soccer because I only really keep up with soccer during the World Cup. But this club World Cup, I was tuned in. I'll be tuned in again next year. Absolutely.
Well, the next time they swing it around, we're going to have the FIFA World Cup. From a journalism perspective, you went to the class. You attended the matches. What did you pick up from the storytelling perspective? For one, I picked up How to just find stories on the fly.
Most of the time we're there, we're just looking around, and it's like, okay, come back with a story the next time we meet after the game. Also, I learned. Not only storytelling, the camera work, the business side of things, but the storytelling thing, I am definitely going to bring that on with me as I continue through my college journey because Just hearing from different experts and Trying to find a story that's soccer-related, but not necessarily about the game. Like, that's a skill and that's a talent. And I do appreciate that.
Okay, I can dig it. We got Julia Fosai here with us from Morgan State University. Has been out to five different FIFA Club World Cup matches as we boiled down to the finale on Sunday. I saw PSG, you saw PSG in person. Who are you going with to go out there and pick up the victory?
Are you going with Chelsea or Paris St. Germain? Email after PSG beat up my team, Real Madrid. The way they tore them up on that field, you can only go with them. It's like, I.
I did see the Chelsea game too, and they did play well. But PSG, they're just on a whole nother level right now. They're on a high. They're on a winning streak.
So I'm going PSG.
Okay. That sounds like a good bet to go out there and make.
Well, Julia, thank you so much for taking the time to join us and tell us about your experience covering the FIFA Club World Cup. It goes down Sunday, 3 p.m. Eastern Time, the finale, East Rutherford, New Jersey at Met Life Stadium. Julia, good luck to you and all of your endeavors. Time flies, so enjoy it.
Keep on learning. Never stop.
Okay. Yes, thank you so much for having me. Of course, of course, of course. Shout outs to Julia for coming through. Shout outs to Morgan State.
a university. A boncha, that's two people you heard who told you you should probably go for a PSG. You still going to hold off on this one? Uh all I'm hearing is that it's plus money. For Chelsea.
Oh crap. That's all I'm hearing. All right, you Googled this? What did you learn? No, no, I'm just saying.
Two people are favoriting PSG, which means it's probably. the better odds. The the the m the money line's probably shifted towards A smart bet being on Chelsea. The okay.
Alright.
Night Botcher. Wow. We we'll see what happens on Sunday and we can talk about it on Monday, okay? Yep. I'm looking up the odds right now.
I gotta go to Google though, I don't have betting apps.
Okay. Ah, well, you be super connected to your phone. You said you could never live without your phone. Is that what you said? Yeah, but not gambling.
I'm not a degenerate gambler. You said that you could never go outside without your cell phone. You'd never do it. Yeah, no, but I don't have like DraftKings on speed dial. Yeah, I'm not talking about DraftKings.
I'm talking about your phone in a general sense. Marco Belletti, we had a conversation earlier on in the show. and I asked Botcher if he could go outside for a few hours without his phone. And he said, yes. He says, I just listen to music and I put the phone on, do not disturb.
And I said, no, that's not. going outside without your phone. I said, could you leave your phone in your house and go outside and function? And I don't think he could do it. I gotta be fair, I'm not surprised, especially by his age, but it's sad.
It's just flat outside. What if I got a Walkman? Would that work? Oh, you want to get where are you going to find a Walkman?
So now you want to go into a time warp and go back to 1987? Just to prove a point, yes. Uh-huh. If you want a Walkman, I could find you one in my storage, okay?
Okay. What do you want to listen to? What cassette do you want to listen to? I have some cassettes in the basement.
Okay. My dad collects them, so I got some. Oh, your dad collects.
Okay, all right.
Okay. He plays it on his Walkman, his Sony a Walkman? I don't think he's listened to any of those since I've been born.
So that's something. It is no it is it is really no reason. It's pretty cumbersome. When one of my cars got totaled and I had like a garbage bag full of cassettes, but it was the last car that had a cassette player. And what the hell was I going to do with these?
So I threw them out. I was like, it's almost like you had to go through. How many times did you have to redo? Like your music collection, now it just sucks. It spent so much money.
Yeah. Well, now everything is crazy.
Now everything is at the. A tap of a button, right? He just. Listen to whatever. You don't need a C D.
This sounds crazy. It sounds great. This is why maybe Marco, remember you You got a fanny pack or a bag to carry all this stuff around in? No, I never did the fanny pack. No.
I stayed away from that. I got to be fair. Not to sound too cool, but even then, I was kind of like, what are you wearing? The Rock had a fanny pet. I had one.
I had a fanny pet. Yeah, no, no, no. No, a lot of people had them. I know. They were very popular.
I had the leather one, and you put the Walkman in the front. Yeah, no. They're back in style. Yeah, no. Are they?
Yeah. Who who's wearing a fanny pack? Uh I own one. There's a couple giveaways.
Okay. That go around, and then there's some people that need to wear them to carry, I don't know. Talk about a satchel. No, not like a man purse. You know what I mean?
It's like a like a fanny pack. One you wear at like amusement parks to carry your glasses. Yeah, stuff like that. I don't go to amute.
Well, I assume I am. I'm I'm retired from uh amusement parks. I'm done. Not for me. No doing that.
I'll be the guy with 700 things in his pockets before I bust out the fanny pack. I can't do it. I'm done. Yeah, yeah, but see, you have to have, you used to, this sounds bad. You had to have money, like physical money.
There was none of this tap to pay.
So you needed a walkman, you need your ID, you need your money, the credit card, you need some change. I don't know, you need uh maybe you needed a a knife in there or something like that. Like, you put these things in your fanny pack. Again, with the pocket knife. We're Davy Crockett.
We're gonna go kill game with our wits and our and the and then and the the the pocket knife that we have and all this stuff went in my pockets. My jeans probably weighed 43 pounds with change, with money, with all. Everything went in my pockets. It didn't matter. I was not gonna wear the fanny pack.
I had a mental block. could not wear the fenny pack. There's nothing worse than going into a pocket. And uh You know, it just. Like hurting yourself, like getting cut by something in your pocket is dangerous.
Keys and change and all that. Apparently, pocket nights for you because you're killing game everywhere you went. Yeah, but for me. I'm doing that before I'm doing the fanny pack.
Well when you get pulled over, the police never want to go in your pockets 'cause it's dangerous. Um No, it doesn't stop 'em. They they drag. Good check. All right, Marco.
Yeah, no, they checked. Yeah. They have their ways. They weren't shy. Shout out to all the officers listening all across North America.
It's the JR Sport Re-Show on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. We're going to talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. But right now, it's time for a newsflash with Marco Belletti. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.
Hey, we all love tingles. Everybody loves a good tingle in your spine. Hey, it is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I don't know who who half these damn guys are.
Well. I don't know who three quarters of em are. But we got a good game at least between Dallas and the Lakers. Seventy two seventy Dallas leads. Last I looked, Cooper Flag will probably uh people will be making fun of him.
I think he has like 10, 12 points, but he's having a poor shooting night. Last I looked, it was like 5 of 18. Hard to get. Up-to-date stats on summer league, they really don't exist. Bronnie James has about 10 points to himself, so.
And we'll see what happens. It'll be Overreaction City. Regardless of what happens right when this match ends. But this is the end of this show.
Okay? You know what happens at the end of the show? We send tingles up your spine with things that took place this day in sports history. Shape. Back, back, back.
Back in the days when I wish 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. See, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything, and it was primitive and lousy, and we liked it. The JR Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is July 10th, 2025. But if we go back to July 10th, 1999, Team USA, they won the Women's World Cup over China and they did it in sudden death. USA won 5-4 in penalty kicks. You might remember Brandi Chastain.
She kicked in the game winner and she took off her top. She was, her sports bra was out. It was 1999.
So people are like, oh my God, oh my God, it's crazy. This is what she had to say about that celebration on the overlap. I think a long way, and not intentionally so, to be honest with you. It was very organic, authentic, in the moment. You've won many championships, so you know that your emotions, you're not quite sure how you will respond.
What I love about that moment is that it resonates differently with different people, and so every time I hear someone say, I watched that game or I was at that game, I stop and I say, please tell me all the things. The why, who, where, you know, what were you doing? Where were you in your life? What did it mean to you? That's fascinating to me that 25 years later I'm still having those conversations.
Well, it was a big deal back then. Like, people were like, oh my God, oh my God, what did she do? How dare she?
Nowadays, you just walk down the block and it's just like, where are your clothes at? Anyway. Uh July 10th. 2011, the United States advances to the semifinals. This is one of the craziest matches we've ever seen in the Women's World Cup.
USA beat Brazil 5-3 on penalty kicks after a 2-2 tie. Abby Wombach. She scored a goal to tie it in the 122nd minute. Yeah, they played forever. And goalkeeper Hope Solo, well, she stopped the Brazilians again.
I want you to listen to this. Abby Wambach, tying it up. Courtesy of FIFA. Lloyd's got to get this pass-off. to Rappino and everybody's got a bomb forward now.
Rapino gets the crossing. It's towards one there. Man, we need some announcers that sound like they from Texas, okay? We need some announcers that sound like they from Louisiana. That's what we need.
July 10th. 2016 Andy Murray He won his second Wimbledon title. Andy Murray talks about his display of emotion compared to when he won the other time in 2013. I don't know, I mean I I definitely I feel a lot different these days to how I did uh a few years ago. I'm kind of you know I put so much pressure on myself before so much stress to try and win this event and you know I was obviously extremely emotional at the end of both matches but you know I feel like I'm gonna enjoy this one um a lot more.
It means a lot. It's been a few years now since I won a slam and I've had a few tough losses and in that period and yeah, I'm just really really happy to have won one again. In 2016, he beat Nilos Ramsic. He beat him in three stats. The three sets, excuse me.
How about this? Oh, this seems like yesterday. Because he never plays. July 10th, 2019. Damn.
He didn't waste time. He's like, I won a championship and I'm leaving. Kawhi Leonard, he signed his three-year contract, $103 million with the Los Angeles Clippers. Kawhi Leonard, always so excited about everything. He's so excited about.
Why did you choose the Clippers, Kawhi? With Doc being a championship head coach. You know, that's something that I wanted, experienced coach. And the front officers, you know, very transparent with me. You know, they want to win.
I want to win again. And um It's an opportunity for us to just build our own, you know what I mean? To make history. They haven't been to a finals. They haven't won a finals.
So um, you know, that was something big and exciting for me to, you know, make my decision. Doc Rivers was one of the first reasons? They fired Doc Rivers in September the next year, okay? They're like, man, you blew a 3-1 lead against the Denver Nuggets. They fired him.
Okay. That's what happens when your doc brothers. You get five, you blow three, one leads. How about this July 10, 2022? Damn, this guy always wins.
Novak Djokovic, he won his fourth straight. Wimbledon title. His seventh. Wimbledon single style. He bit oh this guy the guy from Australia who never shuts up Hey, what bacha, how do you Nick Kyrios?
Kyrios, right? Kyrios. Yo, he he's a jerk. That's another internet jerk. Anyway, listen to Novak Djokovic, one it all.
Fourth straight Wimbledon. I lost words for what this tournament, what this trophy means to me, to my team, to my family. I've said this many times. It always has been and will be the most special tournament in my heart, the one that motivated me, inspired me to start playing tennis. In a small little mountain resort in Serbia where my parents used to run a restaurant.
I was Four and a half, five years old, and I saw Pete Sampers win his first Wimbledon in 92. And I asked my dad and mom to buy me a record. And my first image of tennis was grass and Wimbledon. And I always dreamed of coming here, just playing in this court, and then, of course, realizing the childhood dream and winning this trophy. Every single time it gets more and more meaningful and special and so I'm very blessed and very thankful to be standing here with the truck.
This guy has a chance and an opportunity to win Wimbledon again. Like, are you kidding? Like, what are we doing? He again. On Friday, He takes on Yannick Center.
With a chance to go to the Wimbledon final. Like, retire already, bro. Go away. Please, Federer gone, Nadal gone, you go beat it, scram. There you have it, a few things that took place.
This day in sports history. Botcher, did did uh did the segment succeed in sending tingles up that guy's spine? Hopefully. There wasn't many play by play besides one back, but So he didn't get enough tingles? We need more play by play for tingles?
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, wow, yeah. And Brandy Chastain. That was a big deal. That was a big deal.
If somebody if Trinity Rodman who was in the news recently, she's the first soccer player that came to mind. if if she scored a World Cup winning goal, and she ripped off her shirt to her sports bra. Would there be uproar about it? No, they'd be like, oh, she's just copying what happened in the past. Oh, they'd say she's copying it.
It'd be a. It wouldn't be authentic.
Okay. This is sort of like when Jason Tatum won the title last year and he just said every phrase imaginable. Yeah, and then he took the picture like Kobe and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, that was such a big.
Well, 1999. Damn, it was 260. Damn, it was 26 years ago. Damn. Damn, I remember that.
That is one of the most iconic. Sports images. And I would say US sports history. That image, you know what image I'm talking about, right? The photo, you've seen a video on the photo, right?
Yeah, I watched it today. You've seen it in the past, too. Yeah, it's i it's it's iconic. There we go. I'm not gonna put it up there with uh That Muhammad Ali photo.
We've had some great photos in sports. You got a lot Michael Jordan in the air. Pumping his fist. Yeah, there's a lot. Anyway.
He basically come to the end of the show. Botcher is going to be Cooper Flag. He's going to be a bum and a bust in like. Five minutes, huh? And we'll see it's a game owner.
Oh, if he hits the game runner, everything goes away. Yep. He's the next greatest thing. He might do so. I mean, we are entering into overreaction city, so we'll see what happens.
