The Dallas Cowboys now lead the Eagles Fourteen. to seven The six points by the Eagles come at the hands or the feet of Jalen Hurts, a four-yard touchdown rush.

Listen to me very carefully. We'll talk about this in about twenty minutes. We're gonna have Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight Mike Tyson? You heard me correctly.

Apparently, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Mike Tyson are gonna Get it on. for a few million dollars. Or a lot of millions of dollars. A lot, a lot, a lot of millions of dollars.

No reason to watch up.

Well, two retired legends, one heavyweight, one welterweight, and get it on. They're going to make money, people will tune in. And then that'll be it. Also, breaking news here. The Indiana Fever, they got three games left in their season.

There will be no more Caitlin Clark. What a dud of a season this was, huh? Caitlin Clark just had the thigh of a hamstring, and Now it's our groin she's cooked. She's got. They're still trying to compete for a playoff spot.

So I can tell you who won't be watching any more Indiana FIVA games, even though I probably only saw one all year. That would be Me. No Caitlin Clark?

Now I ain't watching. I'll wait one for the fever. I'll wait to see what some of these other teams do when we get to the finals. Then I'll probably go ahead. and pop on in.

Hey, if you want to be a part of the show, you can do so. eight eight eight seven ten four 4ISN is the number. That's 888-710. For ISNL.

So, quite a few things breaking here over the last hour. Caitlin Clark is out for the season. Floyd Mayweather's gonna fight Mike Tyson in an exhibition just so they can make money. And then of course the NFL season started about an hour ago. I just told you the Dallas Cowboys lead the Eagles 14 to seven.

Javante Williams has two rushing touchdowns, one-yard liners, or rushing touchdowns at the one-yard line. And then we got Jalen Hurts. accounting for the Eagles' touch down, With a four yard touchdown rush, But the big story and what you'll hear about all the way up until to morrow. when the chiefs and the the chargers get after it, all the way up until Sunday when we get the full slate of NFL games. is the fact that the NFL season started before we even got an official snap after the kick off.

with Jalen Carter, Spinning On Dak Prescott, you heard me correctly. If you weren't here with us last hour, if you weren't listening to the game, if you're not watching the game while listening to the radio, The ball was kicked off. The Dallas Cowboys had the rock. Before they could even snap the ball, Jalen Carter is waiting at the line of scrimmage. He goes nose to nose.

with Dak Prescott. Nothing unusual. not something that we've never seen in the NFL before. The only difference is Jalen Carter decided to spit On DAC, Before we even got an offensive play in, before the ball was even snapped. And not to say that this is an excuse for it.

The referee was standing right the hell there. I guess Jalen Carter was so locked in on spittin' on a guy. He didn't realize that he'd be tossed for it. I don't know, maybe Jalen Carter didn't realize that, you know, the television cameras are kind of everywhere. When you're standing on the middle of a football field, that maybe every camera could probably see you.

Uh Um the stupidity is just It's beyond me. Maybe he was so amped up he was immediately thrown out of the game. And so when you think about what we currently have, and yeah, there's a lot of game left. It's only three minutes, four minutes have gone by here. In the second quarter, The fact that the Dallas Cowboys already have fourteen points on the board Just makes me go.

Hmm. I wonder what things would look like. If Jalen Carter One of the best defensive linemen, one of the best guys in the entire NFL. if he was actually out there on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. Would the Dallas Cowboys already have fourteen points?

The world will never know. I wonder if this is something that Jalen Carter is thinking about thinking about. in the back, in the locker room. The fact that he didn't even play a snap this game, he was ejected. right out of the gate.

Nixiriani Always a pretty funny guy. You know, he's like, oh, we can't accept, and we're not talking about last year's championship. We're not going to be present for them raising the banner, and last year is last year, and this year is this year. Nick Siriani says that our habits need to take over.

Okay?

Now we got to go do it. We got to let our habits take over in the game as coaches. We got to let our habits take over in the game as players. But I feel good about where we are right now. And this will be a really good test against a really good opponent.

Yeah, Nick Siriani is always good for uh A solid quote here or there That quote is uh I don't know, spitting on a guy is the type of habit that uh anybody would necessarily want to embrace and in any type of way. I mean, we had so many conversations about Michael Parsons over the past several months and his contract and. Man, we had people calling me up. Michael Parsons is a distraction to the Dallas Cowboys. I'm glad the Dallas Cowboys got rid of Michael Parsons.

I'm like, okay, then you like losing. Just tell me you're a loser.

So many people worried about Micah Parsons. They won last year with Jalen Carter. And he's supposed to be an improved player into his third season now coming out of Georgia. Right? This ain't the type of activity of a of a leader And nobody confuse him with any of that.

I mean, damn Nixiriani Telling everybody the habits need to take over. That conversation is going to be a good one. We'll see. Anyway. Outside of that, Brian Schottenheimer.

the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys before the game, he talked about his team. and he says, with everything goin' on, He doesn't want them to play Tights. Listen to this. What I don't want these guys to do, and I think the coaches are a big part of this, is go in there and try so hard. Oh, we're playing the Eagles.

I'm going to do so hard. I'm going to. They're going to make mistakes if they do that. Play free. It's football.

Fly around. Love being around with your brothers, man. Just run to the football. Celebrate. Have fun.

Yeah.

SAD Pathetic. Oh, Jalen Carter is going to be ripped to shreds to morrow. On WIP in Philadelphia. Yeah, he's gonna be cooked. Shout out to my main man, Hugh Douglas.

I can't wait to hear what uh What Hugh has to say about a fellow Defensive end. A quarterback getter. They're just goin' out there and spittin' on a guy. to start the season. Yeah, Jalen Carter not even playing a snap tonight because he's in He's an idiot.

I got no shame in saying it. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4. 4ISN. I just told you Caitlin Clark.

Well, forget a snap, forget a play, forget anything. You won't see her with a basketball. at all this season. She shared this message I just told with you. I'd hope to share a better update.

But I will not be returning to play this season. I spent hours in the gym every day. with the singular goal of getting back out there. Disappointed isn't isn't a big enough word to describe how I'm feeling. I want to thank everyone who had my back through all the uncertainty.

This has been incredibly frustrating, but even in the bad, There is good. Yo, all the money she's making. The way the fans continued to show up for me and for the fever brought me so much joy. And important perspective, I am so proud of how this team has only gotten stronger through adversity this year.

Now it's time to close out the season. and claim our spot. N The playoffs. Ain't nobody thinking about the Indiana fever in the playoffs. If Caitlin Clark, is not there.

And I'm also happy that Caitlin Clark being on the scene. Has kind of opened up some eyes to the WNBA. I'm glad that she's helped them garner some attention. I'm glad that they've been able to move their games with Caitlin Clark and others into the arenas. Good for them.

But let's be real. She's the main draw. An' if she ain't playin', which she really didn't this year, I I think the league hurt as a result. But good for her I hope she gets some time off. I hope she uh you know gets healthy.

Because if she's not gonna be active, If the basketball is going to catch up to her body, she's still young, God bless her. The WNBA isn't going in the same type of direction. If she's not out there On the f on the court. We'll see what happens with uh Caitlin Clark. Philadelphia Eagles just scored another rushing touchdown.

I guess Javante Williams. And then Jalen Hurts are just exchanging touchdowns. Jalen Hurts just ran for another one. The extra kick is now good. The game is tied up at fourteen points all.

About six minutes and forty six seconds left here. In the first half of this game. That will not see Jalen. Carter. Uh botcher.

I know how huge of a WNBA fan you are. No Caitlin Clark the rest of this year. How invested are you going to be? With just the regular with the fever itself or just the league? The league.

Because I would say the league on a scale of one to ten, it's probably like a three. Three being like, okay. turn it on if it's on the playoffs and there's no football on. But the fever I have no interest in watching. no disrespect to Leah Boston, but like It's just It's not my favorite team.

It's probably not on a good time. It's just Everything is against them at this point without Caitlin Clark.

Well, it it's kinda odd. I know the Las Vegas Aces they have been surging. I know the New York Liberty, they've been falling. I know the Atlanta Dream Atlanta Dream are are pretty good. But we got uh we got people here in Atlanta, well people on the team that are like, Hey, how come Las Vegas comes to town and you're cheering for the opposition?

Maybe because uh they're better than you. Yeah, I don't think picking a fight with the home team is the smartest thing to do in the world. And then we got the Minnesota Lynx. I I I mean Uh Caitlin Clark is is is what it is, so. I'll probably pop in once the playoffs start.

Game is on in the background. I kind of check in. Uh but I'm I'm not not all that invested. Damn. At least she got her new shoe coming soon.

Hopefully she'll be healthy enough to debut her shoe. when the WNBA season starts next year. Caitlin Clark out for The season. It's the JR Sport Ree Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I told you it's been a busy day.

Started the NFL season. We got more NFL action tomorrow. The Chiefs and the Chargers. We got a full slate of NFL games coming this upcoming Sunday. And then, damn it, I told you.

We got something else coming up. I cannot believe it. Is there never enough money out there? My I well, I guess there's more money for the taking. We got two legends in the boxing world.

Then I'm gonna go toe to toe. Mike Tyson. vs. Floyd Mayweather, junior Am I joking or am I serious? Have I been Flim Flam?

Have I been led astray? We're going to discuss this on the other side of the break. Is it April Fool's Day? No, it's. September 4th.

We're going to talk about this on the other side of the break. In in regards to uh April Fools, Mark Davis has some Incriminating words about Tom Brady. We'll get into that. And then, of course, it is September 4th, it is not April Fool's. I'm going to give you a few things that took place this day in sports history.

We'll do all of that as we continue to roll on. You're locked in. You're listening. It's the JR Sport Brief Show, Coast to Coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Why does every recipe I try need 18 ingredients, including a jar of something paste I'll never use again, but will sit in my fridge for nine months?

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infiniti Sports Network. Yeah, one of the the valet guys in the front of the office needed an umbrella one day. He took my umbrella on the way into work, I swore up and down on the air that I would never get that umbrella back. and sure enough, when I left the studio, He had the umbrella waiting downstairs for me. and I had a new respect and appreciation for that man.

You never know. That's the umbrella story. That's the short version. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, Coast to Coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles still tied at 14 points apiece.

We got two rushing touchdowns from Jalen Hurts. We got two rushing touchdowns from new. Dallas Cowboy, Javante Williams, used to run that football, used to run that rock for the Denver Broncos. And right now, the Dallas Cowboys are trying to put some more points on the board before we get to halftime. I told you that.

Well, Jalen Carter, he was well, not suspended, not yet. he was kicked out of the game. Six seconds into the game, before we even had an official snap, All we had was the kick off. A jail and Carter spat on Dak Prescott before he even played a snap. And he was ejected from the game.

So we'll keep you up to date. As the show continues on, 888-710-4IS. That is the number. That's eight eight eight seven ten four I S N. Told you that Caitlin Clark Now out for the rest of the regular season.

And then this is also some news that we found out about that I just have to go. If it can make money, why the hell not? And why not do it? Apparently Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. have signed a deal.

to go one on one. With the fight expected to take place in the spring of 2026. We don't have any details, we don't have a date, we don't have a location. I assume this thing will take place somewhere in Las Vegas, or maybe they'll make the fight happen in Saudi Arabia somewhere. I I have no.

I did. But what I can tell you is this Mike Tyson said This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen.

However, Boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable, and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. I still can't believe Floyd wants really to do this. It's going to be detrimental to his health. But he wants to do it so So it's signed and it is happening. The fight is going to be an exhibition.

So Floyd Mayweather, who has a Perfect record at fifty and oh. is what it is. He doesn't have to worry about taking a an a legitimate L. Mayweather says, I've been doing this for 30 years. There hasn't been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy.

You already know that if I'm going to do something, it's going to be big. It's going to be legendary. I'm the best in the business of boxing. This exhibition will give the fans what they want. I can tell you something.

Neither one of these guys wrote what you just heard, which is uh not surprising. You might recall Floyd Mayweather Jr., his last exhibition was the final real fight. That was not an exhibition. when he knocked out Connor McGregor. He also had an exhibition this was an exhibition against Logan Paul.

And uh we saw what Mike Tyson did. Against Logan Ball. Floyd fought Jake in an exhibition down in Miami.

So, um,. Hey Uh A heavyweight or welterweight, this isn't something that you typically see. Mike Tyson. Five ten. Floyd Mayweather.

5a. Sure. Great. This is where things are are typically different. Different weight classes.

Okay, you're talking about a a heavyweight being over 225 pounds. A welterweight is going to be somebody that's one forty seven.

Okay, there there is the difference and the discrepancy. Mike Tyson is fifty nine years old. Floyd Mayweather is forty eight.

Now there was a lot to be said. when Mike Tyson fought Logan Paul last year. Oh man, I'm mixing them up. Bacha, it's Jake, right? It was Jake.

Jake was Tyson. Logan was Floyd. Logan was Floyd. Yeah.

But that fight kind of went to the back of my mind immediately. 'Cause it was more of a hug fest more than a fight. Yeah, well, if Floyd want Floyd could have killed the guy. He wanted to make sure that everybody got their money's worth. That's what that was.

And it's no different than when Jake Paul. Fought Mike Tyson, They just wanted to make sure that folks got their their money's worth. and at this point At Mike Tyson at fifty nine years old, look, I I know you've been beating people's ass your whole life. I know he is a well-conditioned athlete.

Well, not used to be a well-conditioned athlete. I'm not worried about Floyd Mayweather Jr. This guy, I'm sure, he can get up to morrow and go run a couple of miles, even still here at the age of forty eight. I'm not worried about him. What I don't want to see, and what I think a lot of people are going to be tuning in to see.

What are we getting out of Mike Tyson? Like, he had a bad leg. This is a train wreck, ultimately, potentially for Mike Tyson. Floyd is going to do his best to go out there and protect him. Keep him alive, make sure he's not working.

too hard. This is just going to be an elaborate dance to make money. Mike Tyson ain't knocking out Floyd Mayweather. 'Cause if this was a real ass fight, Floyd Mayweather would beat him at this point in time.

Okay. He's forty eight. He'd get up in him and he tied him out and he'd just punch him a bunch of times and Mike Tyson would go down. Mike Tyson is about to be 60 years old. What I'm hoping doesn't happen.

Forget last fight, and all of it was a sham anyway, like this one is going to be. I don't want to see Mike Tyson in no boxing ring. Dying.

Okay, who wants to see that? He's been broke, he's been rich, he's been wealthy, he's lost money, he's been locked up. At this point in time, he's like, listen, if I can make some more money. $100 million, $50 million, $60 million. Take it, why not?

I'm not mad at Mike Tyson. I'm gonna tune in. Why do I I'm not looking for a train wreck? I'm going to watch just out of curiosity. But they're gonna be people who are really gonna tune in.

thinking that this is going to be some type of uh competitive Masterpiece. What is an old Mike Tyson going to do against a Mayweather? If they were fighting in the street, Yeah, Mike Tyson might get him with one punch. But in a boxing ring, Mayweather, Mayweather would beat his ass. But they're not going to do that.

They're going to do a dance, they're going to make some money, They're gonna laugh. And they're going to keep it moving. Good for them. This is where boxing has gone. I mean we even got this match.

Coming up Bacha, what what did they just announce? Jake Paul versus Tank Davis. on Netflix. You got Javante Tank Davis is in the prime of his life. He's a he's a prime boxer.

And even he is like, I'm going to take an exhibition bout. This is like boxing is almost like WWE at this point in time. I feel that The with the with the label of exhibition boxing has just lost its integrity just because It's kind of like I don't wanna say it's scripted 'cause it's not, but it's not serious. Boxing. It's not like these guys are fighting each other to get the belt.

It's more of just name versus name. and it kind of waters down the product. to where The viewer only wants to stop and see the celebrities or stars who are now out of their prime.

Now, I've I've heard I agree with you on that one.

Now, I can also agree with a point that some people have countered to me. I've heard this from boxers. I don't want to put words in in in somebody's mouth. I I don't know if it's Roy Jones who told me Roy Jones fought. Uh Mike Tyson and the pandemic.

At some point I spoke to a boxer and they told me You know what? This, all this celebrity boxing, these exhibitions. It's not the worst thing. And I'm gone like, Well, why?

So to your point, it kind of takes away the integrity of You got two fighters. Who are beating each other up and beating people up and trying to climb the ranks? And they ain't doing none of this. you know, celebrity stuff. and then they get overshadowed and they lose out on money, Because some you know internet guy who who's athletic says, Well, I'm gonna take the cash.

We know it's a dog eat dog world, so I I understand that. But the boxer told me, he's just like Having these celebrities fight. brings more attention to boxing. And I'm just like, eh. Does it?

I don't know. Like we got a real fight next week. We have Canelo Alvarez. And we got Bud Crawford. People are looking forward to seeing this fight.

As a matter of fact, this is going to be an allegiant stadium. It's not going to be an NGM garden arena. They're putting it in the football stadium, the home of the Raiders, So we got a real fight there. Is it going to make as much money as Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather? Probably not.

Is it going to make as much money? as the uh the other one I told you about, Tank Davis and Jake Paul. Probably not. And this is where you got real fighters who are just like Man, w we're getting X'd out here. Like boxing has always been niche.

There was a point in time where it was more widely accepted. but if you can get two celebrities out there, or two legends, People are just doing it for the money. I don't know. I I'm gonna watch. Maybe I'm just as guilty.

But Mike Tyson getting ready to fight. Floyd Mayweather, junior. I just You can't make this stuff up. 888-710-4ISN. Marco Belletti, here we are with another celebrity fight.

At this point, though. We discussed this when it came down to Jake Paul taking on Mike Tyson. But Mike Tyson is now even older. And I know Floyd is not going to go in there and kill the guy. He's probably going to protect him and keep him.

But that's not to say that Mike Tyson still doesn't just. I I have a fear he he'll croak inside the ring. Uh Wow, I didn't think we were going to go there. Yeah, no, that's not good. And obviously, he had to do two minutes, I think it was two-minute rounds because he couldn't.

And you could tell he was gassed after what, two rounds in? This is not good.

Now, granted, at least Mayweather's older too, and Paul was in better, you know, he was younger. I don't know if he's in better shape, but he's younger. Look. It's a problem just for the fact that he's going to move around. And yeah, you're right.

At some point, I mean, Mike's old. You know, you shouldn't be in the ring anymore. You could do the ring stuff to train to keep yourself in shape so that you're good in your age, but you shouldn't be taking shots with it in front of everybody else because you know the mind goes back to where you want to be when you're younger. And that's a dangerous, dangerous concept for Mike. Yeah, we saw him.

He h he didn't have the the energy. He was gassed. He apparently had some type of leg injury. He was kinda dragging along in the ring. And, you know, even with Mayweather's age, Mike Tyson's fifty nine, Floyd Mayweather is forty-eight.

Mayweather is supremely, was supremely conditioned. I'm sure he can just get up tomorrow and start jogging.

So I'm not worried about Mayweather in any stretch of the imagination. Um I don't know. Yeah, but you said it too about him in like, you know, he had a leg injury. Of course he did. He's 59.

It's called old and busted. Like, something's going to hurt. You think you're going to walk into the ring and feel good? No, you don't. You don't feel good when you wake up in the morning.

How the hell are you going to feel good when you're in the ring? Like, how's that possible? It doesn't make any sense.

Well, however much money he's going to make out of this. 20, 30, or 20 is on the low end. 30 is probably on the low end too. Forty, fifty, sixty, fifty to one hundred. I think that'll make that better for Mike Tyson, I think.

And that's the thing. And if you tell me it's for money, like I get it. I understand why they're doing it. We can argue whether or not we should be watching it. But I understand why they're doing it.

And unfortunately, it's also on us because we crave this stuff because it's got the things that we want, which is name recognition. Yeah, and it's. Look, there's the train aspect, there's their name recognition, and let's be fair, as we all get old and busted, we all want to relive our youth. And Mike Tyson and Floyd Mayweather in the ring makes us feel like we're younger when we're not. Nah, bro, no it doesn't.

Not for me. No, no, they make me feel older. Yeah, when you see them move and they can't move, but when you hear the names, you go, Oh, I want to watch this. And then you see them in the ring and you go, What the hell am I watching? Because that's what we did with Tyson and Paul.

We talked about it. We knew it wasn't going to be good. But we wanted to watch it, myself included. We were trying to figure out how to get Netflix here in the studio. Like, we wanted to see it.

And then the second you look at it and you go, oh, that's right, this sucks. Yeah.

It'll be a train wreck. They'll get rich and the world'll move on. And then I guess uh I don't know. Floyd Mayweather, who's the next person he could fight after this? I don't know.

There's no more Paul brothers. There's only two of them, as far as I know. Um Here's the problem with boxing.

Sorry, but we're running out of name recognition.

So, like, all these guys are old.

So, like, in 10 years, who are we going to watch? We're not watching Canel Alvarez in his prime. You think we're going to go out of our way to watch him fight somebody from YouTube 20 years from now? I find that difficult to believe. Give it a little while.

We'll we'll get to uh Justin Bieber. He'll be fighting one of the Paul brothers next. That is uh Oh, that we're headed to. Yeah.

No, that, like I said, I just boxing, that's the, I agree with you of the idea of eyeballs on and attention, but we're running out of the name recognition from the guys that we used to watch 15, 20, 30 years ago because they're going to get too old. Medley Mann Manny's still out here fightin'. Yeah.

He don't need to be fighting either. He's He looked good, but he don't need to be fine. He's looking for a bit. You want Beaver Pacquiao? What?

Is that you what you want? You want Bieber Pacquiao? No, I don't want to. Yeah.

I'd watch that. You know what? How long would Bieber last in the ring with Pac? How long would that one last? People get knocked out in thirty seconds.

I'd say he'd probably run away for a little bit, so maybe one round. Yeah.

Hey, Marco, hey, you promoted. Make it happen. Get some money. You know what? That's not a bad idea.

Trademark on that one. Anybody that's listening, that one's all mine. Pacquiao Bieber is me. His album comes out tonight, so he might be uh looking for marketing tools. I know Manny Pacquiao would take that fight tomorrow.

The man was born without a right hand? He went out. And he pitched himself had A no hitter. Against the Cleveland Indians at the time. The Yankees beat him.

Four to nothing. Jim Abbott went out there. had three strikeouts, overcame five walks, And this is still one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Born without a right hand, he was out there pitching and it got a no-hitter. You can't make this up.

First game of the NFL season, oh, we got a lot of points. I guess the defense is going to tighten up later on in the season. Maybe the defense will tighten up for the Eagles if Jalen Carter. isn't out. He is spitting on the opposition.
