Will Stefanski, two-type coach of the year? Andrew Berry, I don't know who we blame the Haslams for the Deshaun Watson debacle. The questions and the criticisms are more about ownership than anybody on the sideline or in the GM. He's the head coach of a franchise owned by Jimmy Haslam, so who knows if you put him in a more stable situation with a less volatile compound in the owner's box, maybe you get more.

I went outside, it was Feeling chilly here in Atlanta. Chilly f 80 degrees, chilly. Um anyway. You can call me. Here's a phone number.
Pay attention. seven ten four is n That's 888-710-4ISN. If you use the internet So scroll It's a waste of your time. to educate yourself. to look at ridiculous things, horrible, horrific things.
I'm there. Trying to avoid all the negativity. I am at. J.R. Sport Brief.
on whatever the heck you use on social media. You got Instagram, I'm there. Twitter, I'm there. The one thing I learned today on social media, besides avoiding negativity, is they're coming out with a new iPhone, iPhone 17. What the heck do these stupid things do?
I don't know. What is an iPhone 17 gonna do that a 14? I don't even know what phone I have. They don't even have the number. Bacha, didn't they used to put the number on the back of the phone?
No. I don't think that's ever been a thing. They've never put the I don't even know what phone I have, man. Does it have the uh fingerprint? Then it's been really old.
Fingerprints? It was a certain. Oh, the button? Nah, not the cutting. No, not the button.
There used to be like a. Instead of the button. Just being a button, and you put the password in, you could use your finger as like a fingerprint and it opened your phone. Nah, this thing looks at my face, and you know, they got all my biometric data, so one day they can clone me, okay? Hey.
I wouldn't mind a clone version myself. Excuse me? I have like a best friend. It's basically myself. What?
If I have a clone of myself, unless it's like made to be evil. It should just be like me, which is great. You want to have another you? What are you going to do? Play video games together?
Not even video games. You know the thing? Take out the trash? Yeah, take out the trash. You know the TV shows where you're in two places at once and then you guys switch spots to give you something like that.
There's a lot of possibilities you could do with the client.
Now, okay, I know you're younger than me. Have you ever watched The Twilight Zone? Uh Depends what episode. I haven't seen a clone one.
Okay, all right. All right, good.
Well, you've seen the guy you've seen the one with the one guy who got locked in the safe and then the world blew up and then he was the only man alive? I've I've heard of that one. I've seen the I think the one with the airplane. Oh man, look, watch it. If you're gonna see any episode of The Twilight Zone, you gotta watch the one where the guy stepped into the bank vault.
And then the world blew up around him, and he was the only guy. Watch that one, okay?
Okay. And stop thinking about cl we do not need two of you, all right? You can get a robot. You want somebody to take out the tree? You know what?
I'm not advocating for this. I was just saying, just go have a kid, okay? Just have a kid. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
It takes what? Like when the kid the kid has to grow up a little bit before you can like, you know, take out the trash. Yeah, they can't.
Well, they teach 'em early, you know. It bring hey, bring that over here to me. Get the remote control for me. You know, it's it's great. It's terrific.
Don't have to get up. It takes time. Yeah, we'll talk to Marco Belletti about this. before Marco delivers the news. He knows, he understands.
888-710-4ISN is the number. You're speaking to kids. Looks like Deion Sanders is missing his kids.
Well, at least the one who played quarterback last year. We know Shador is standing around for the Cleveland Browns for now.
Meanwhile Dion is figuring out life, Post. Shador. Colorado, like most teams, they played their powder puff school this weekend. They took on Delaware. Shoutouts to Delaware.
And they beat the hell out of them. 31-7. And so this game for Deion Sanders was nothing but a It was a practice game. That's all it was. They were like, hey, we're going to win.
Let's see what each one of our guys got. And so Caden saw to who they just got from Liberty. He went out there 13 to 16 for 102 yards. He rushed for a touchdown. Great.
You got Ryan Starbucks who came out. He's been backing up Shadur. for a couple of seasons now. He was seven to ten for one hundred and fifty seven yards, two touchdowns. And then you got Julian Lewis, who's just uh a freshman.
Okay, he passed for eight yards. They were just like, all right, you just go in there to close the game. It's going to take some getting used to you. And so Ryan Stobb impressed so much. He's been hanging out behind Shador the past couple of seasons.
Dion appreciates him there. And so people are looking at their next contest. People are looking at their next game. And they're saying. You know what?
Ryan Staub is going to be the the starting quarterback. They're going to take on the Cougars. Shout out to the Cougars out there. Love Cougars. These Houston Cougars are on Friday.
Uh that's who Dion's team is going to face off against. And so people are like Starbuck is going to be the starting quarterback.
So earlier today, Deion Sanders was asked that exact question. Hey. Is Staub going to be the guy? And Dion went on one of his famous. Uh well just listen to what he said.
I'm not confirming nothing to y'all. Y'all know that. We ain't like that. Yeah. We're good.
We have capable guys. Stob has been doing a phenomenal job doing and getting the majority of the reps, but I haven't made that assessment or decision yet. I coach you. We don't care about being correct anymore. We just want to be first.
and there's no subjection to you when you're wrong. Nobody says nothing. Go with it. I'm not saying that's the case, but that's where we are in media. Nobody gives a darn about being correct, being right.
Everybody just want to be first. It di that don't make no sense to me. I I like I would love the integrity that we once had. With media. I would love that.
Ah What? I I feel like It it's always him. Like, I got no problem with Deion Sanders. I'm glad the guy's alive, beat cancer, and. foot problems and uh the I'm glad he's here.
Let's put it that way. But I feel like he's always taken Folks to no, not folks. He's a very broad question about the media, and he's entitled to his opinion like everybody else. But it feels like on a quarterly basis, exaggerating, but every now and then he's always taking. The media to task, or what things work, bro, we in a different time.
It's 2025. He is 100% correct, but they know going backwards. Man, there's misinformation and people lying out their front, their back, their side every single damn day.
So just leave it alone. Like, leave it alone. I mean, for all the platforms that that Dion broadcasts to, Whether it's his own podcast, his own show, these press conferences. Just put out the information that you want. Don't begrudge the fact that we live in a different world and that the media has changed.
We know it's changed, it ain't going back. It's not. Enough. Dion continued on. And he said about his quarterback situation, Are you going to take on a better team?
Sorry, Delaware. He's like, man, we ain't going to play three quarterbacks and four and five. We're not going to get a guy out the stands. I just want to have one. Listen to what Deion had to say.
Coach, just last thing on the quarterbacks. Do you envision a scenario where it's just one guy this week? There's the goal. I don't want to play musical chairs, the quarterbacks. Why would I want to come to the game and do that?
Yeah, is he chewing ice? Botch, what was he chewing ice? Yep, chew nice out of a Gatorade cup.
Okay, alright. Yeah, I don't know.
Well, I wouldn't advise you to do that as a public speaker. That's just. That's not becoming of uh somebody to sit up there. Look. He was the guy a couple of weeks ago.
He's just like we're gonna see more of of of Julian Lewis. Along with Caden Salter, He's the one who inserted Ryan Stark. He's also the guy that says, yeah, we're going to sprinkle Julian Lewis in there, but we're not going to tell you.
So it's a legitimate question. It's not about musical chairs with the quarterbacks. You the guy who said that two of your guys was going to play. I don't know. Maybe he's forgetting what he said.
It's uh everybody gotta be mad about something. Just Figure out your quarterback situation. Do does he want to go you go back to media, Dion. Go back to the NFO network. Do that.
888710. I think that's the only thing that I've seen. eight eight eight seven ten. For ISN. Marty is here from Westchester.
You on the J. R. Sport Reshow. What's up, Marty? Here's good.
Good uh good evening, Jaya. Good to talk to you. Uh I know you touched uh briefly earlier in your show about uh the giant situation with Russell Wilson. Uh disaster of an opening day game. for them was just Russia.
I think that's a good question. I'm telling you, he has really slowed up. I think there might be a reason why two future. Yeah. cultures.
Uh Sean Pate. And then Mike Tarman. Part of company with him. I understand he was on a middle Sunday. But uh he I mean his mobility.
gone and I think you're gonna see Jackson Dart sooner more than later. this continues.
Well, I mean, if you're the New York Giants, what what do you got to lose, right? Like nobody nobody w what is the expectation for the New York Giants this year? Is there a positive? Into the season, I was hoping. that possibly they could play meaningful games and Some are not even talking players.
Just be relevant.
Well But uh And I know this is uh A hot seat situation for Brian Dables.
So if he sees that Wilson can't. uh cut the mustard. I think he will definitely Make the change pretty quickly. Oh, I think so. And I think, even outside of that, if he feels that Russell Wilson ain't doing nothing, does he buy himself a little bit of time if there's a little bit of progress?
with Jackson Dart. Because one thing that you probably don't want to do If you feel that Jackson Dart has a future, I don't know if Mara, and he's pretty much making the football decisions for the Giants. I don't know if he's going to want to pull the plug. On just all, we got a rookie QB in here, and he looked good, and now we're just going to start over by firing the coach. I don't know.
About that. The other thing is. Yeah, that works in Daples's favor. The fact that he really wanted Texas.
So that might give them some. Save him some time. But then at the same time, you got you got Shane there. I I think Dayball and Shane at this point are pretty much connected. Their futures are connected at the hip.
I think if one guy goes, I think you'd have to get rid of the other. I don't think Shane would be listening to Mara going, hey, you got to fire Brian Dayball, because then he's next up on out the door.
So. They got to figure things out with Jackson Dart. I think we will see him, and they're going to try to. Roll him into next year. I think we've reached the level of self-preservation here.
Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean, and also after watching That giant came suffering through it. It was so great to watch that Raven.
Yeah. on Sunday night. Oh, you watched that whole New York Giants game. I'm a I'm a lawyer. Oh, damn.
Okay. game from time to time. That was a good game, at least, with the Streets. True, it was. Yeah.
Oh, man. All right, Marty. I wish you and your eyeballs of luck watching the Giants this year, okay? Thank you. Appreciate it.
Okay, J. Have a good evening. You too. Shout outs to Marty for calling from Westchester. Yeah, anybody who has to sit down and watch a Russell Wilson tried to stretch out his career.
They deserve some things. Oh, man. He can't move. The guy can't move. He used to be able to scramble and run, and they say he lost weight, and now he could run better.
I don't know. Botcha, who's faster, him or his wife, Siara? Ooh. Sierra does perfor the dancer on the stage too, right? You get that quick first step.
Yes, she can she probably move, right? Yes. I don't know, Russ is getting up there. Sierra got a nice uh I don't think I could say any of the words on her songs, but she got she's got some nice music, Sierra. Level up.
That's what I guess I Level Up? Level Up. You like Level Up? Yeah, that's that's a good song. It's an older song, right?
Think so. I don't know. Level up. It's the only one I really know off the top of my head. You know, for a lady who do she's such a great dancer.
A lot she well, she's uh she gotta make the slow songs too. Yeah, she made a slow I forgot the name of the slow song, but I like it. Shoutouts to Sierra. Anyway. Shout out to Atlanta.
888-710-4ISN. That's 888 is 710. For ISN. Yeah, I'm all here for Sierra. Sierra's nice.
Uh anyway. We're going to take a break. When we come back, I want to tell you about.
Well, I've been gone for a couple of days. It's good to be back. Good to be here. This is something that took place while I was gone. Angel Rees gets in more trouble.

We're finding out more about Kawhi Leonard. Apparently, his uncle has just been trying to get side money for a long time. There's a lot of funny business going on. And we'll get into that on the other side of the break. and gets your calls as well.

You know, right before we went to break, I took your calls. We heard what Deion Sanders had to say about his quarterback situation. He's just like, I don't know who the quarterback is. I haven't picked him yet. I'm not going to tell you.
We heard from Deion, and then he talked about how the media is not what it used to be. Yeah, what is? What's what it used to be? I can go on a list of things that I used to like that I don't anymore because it changed. I'm not going to give you that list, but there's a lot of things.
Okay. You gotta be careful what you say to the media, how you speak to the media. Last week we heard and learned the same damn thing with Angel Reese. I've been saying for a long time, like. You got to pick and choose.
You got to be careful.
Now, you can say whatever you want to say, and maybe you don't care what the repercussions are, but last week. In an interview, she basically threw her teammates under the bus.
Next season, we need better teammates.
Next season, we need better players.
Next season, things need to change. Otherwise, I'm not going to stay here. And it's just like, damn. And of course she she got suspended. For half a game, conduct and words and statements detrimental to the team.
You can't throw your teammates under the bus. That's what athletes do when they're trying to leave. Maybe she's trying to leave. Then she said her words were taken out of context and she wanted to apologize. No, they weren't taken out of context.
You said what you said. We need better players.
Okay, all right. That sounds like a crap teammate to me. Listen to what our head coach had to say. And they say this team stays.
Well, they do. They got a record of 10 and 32. That's a lot of losing. Head coach Tyler March. That's what he had to say about the suspension of Anjou Ree.
She got popped because she got an eighth technical of the season.
So she's just getting hit all over the place. That was funny. top down as a uh organizational decision.
So And I don't want to get into specifics. I think that. Uh again, the matter has been resolved. Uh Um and we'd just like to focus onto that. The comments were the comments.
I think everybody had a chance to see it. Again, um All the discussions that needed to be had and were had. Yeah, so they take on the Chicago sky. Tonight Right, I mean I'm I'm Bach, are you going to watch the game when you leave? It starts well, it starts in thirty minutes.
What channel? Oh, here we go. Ah, oh, yeah. Is this a game? Do you got game show music and a computer?
I I can find some. Yeah, fi how fast is it gonna take you? I'd say like 25 seconds. 25 seconds.
Okay, well, if you can find a game show music, go on ahead. The Chicago Sky are going to take on the Aces. This sounds like it should be a nationally television. Maybe it is. We got Indiana taking on Minnesota right now.
That's on ESP, and I'm watching that in the studio. Yeah, there we go, yeah, yeah. Uh I'm gonna take a wild guess. This game is going to be on ESPN. Am I right?
I have no idea. I should look it up. Let me look it up. I I was gonna guess Ion, if we're gonna be so real, ion. Hey, turn turn the game show music down just a little bit, just a little bit.
There we go. Ion? Yeah, why not? Yeah, I know WNBA got a lot of Ion games. Here's a better question.
You ready for this one? Yeah. Where do you find Ion? Um I think it's Cool. Uh depending on your television provider, above 11.
A buff. I don't know what I hear that. I'm not trying to be a jerk. Does anybody know what Ion is? I don't know where Ion is.
I don't know where it is, but I know they have a lot of good episodes of NCIS. Oh, so you know what's on Eye? I don't know what's on Eye. It's like crime shows. Oh, Ion.
What game am I talking about? Sky vs. Aces. What channel? Here we go.
And we are all wrong. Wait, hold on, hold on, wait, uh. Let's see. Oh, it NBA TV? No.
That's not what I have.
Okay, give me another.
Well, Ion ESPN. It's not NBA television. Oh, there is no there is no national uh broadcast. Nope, it's streaming on the WNBA league pass. And if you're local Vegas 34.
The U, whatever that is, in W C I U. This is streaming on. The WNBA has league pass? Yes. And some games are only on League Pass, too.
Which is bad. I guess all of them would be on League Pass. Right, I'd hope so, unless it's blacked out. I really doubt there's blackouts. Wow, wow.
Alright, there you have it. We just played our game. Where do you find the WNBA game? Yeah. Well Andrew Rees, she should be back, right?
She should be playing in this game. Yeah, she had the one game suspension and the half a game suspension. Right. She's very dumb. She got hers.
The team said we're going to hit you with half a game. for insulting your team mates, And the WNBA said, hey, you got too many damn technical fouls, you got your eighth tech here. And so now you gotta you gotta sit down a whole game. Um I don't know. People say, and I believe it, they had Teresa Weatherspoon as the head coach last year.
And they got rid of her. And that they got a new coach in, and the team still stinks. And so I think it's reasonable to believe that the organization is a dumpster fire. and she might absolutely be telling the truth. About needing a new roster because if you go 10 and 32, I gotta tell you, the team is not all that good.
Uh but at the same time How good are you? Like, are you really that good to be like, oh, you know, we need to do better? I know her and Camilla Cardoza. That's all I know. I don't know nobody else on the team.
I know her teammates were like, hey, we don't want to talk about this because you insulted them. But I know the last time, every time I look at Andrew Reese's numbers, and we had that, Lisa Leslie was here on this show. Talking about nor her improvements on offense and She needs to do better at the basket. Like I'm saying, come on now. Her last game was last week against Connecticut.
who might be moving to Boston or might be staying C Connecticut, who knows? She had 18 points and 13 rebounds, four sits and four steals. That's great. She was four of twelve from the field. She's supposed to be a big, right?
Okay, she's gotten better, okay. 7 of 12, 5 of 11, 3 of 10, 5 of 10, 6 of 9, 9 of 13.
Okay, she's gotten better at the bat. But then she also. She needs to be consistent. She has some of these ugly games. Six or sixteen.
Yes, she's gotten better. Good for her. Yeah, but you uh are you making that much of a difference? I don't know. We'll see.
I I just hope one day she just Maybe one day she'll care. More about the media, how to interraise. She's only 23 years old, so I'll give her a little bit of grace. Just a little bit, but you can't be throwing your teammates under the bus. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N It's eight eight eight seven ten four I S.
And speaking of uh You know, using the media, that's something LeBron James does a lot. Lebron James just came back from China. He did. doing a tour with his new Nikes and LeBron James shoes that I don't I don't see people wearing LeBron James shoes, but anyway LeBron James came back, he went to the Hall of Fame. up in Springfield.
And then LeBron James, Actually, wrote a note which is crazy. Crazy. LeBron James wrote an op-ed in the the Chinese media. And now he's saying that. Bacha, did you hear this story?
I saw it. I I I Didn't believe it when I first saw it that he wrote it for a Chinese newspaper that just. It's crazy to me. It was odd.
So there was a story earlier today how LeBron James wrote an op-ed. In the Chinese media about how basketball can bridge everybody together. We all know about the Dar Maury situation where he pledged his support. for for Hong Kong being independent separate from China, And LeBron James kind of butted in, like, bruh, just don't talk about things that, you know, just stay out of it. And then Dal Murray had to apologize.
And then Hong Kong, at China, period, China was just like, whoa, wait a minute. You got a guy in the NBA? Who's saying that, you know, we need to stay away from Hong Kong and not take them back?
Well, mind your business. And the China basically. Severed its relationship with the NBA, which is a massive basketball market, huge, probably second biggest. Outside of America, of course. And so there was no relationship.
And so the NBA has been trying to foster Of that relationship formally. There was a point in time where the games weren't broadcast in China, which is crazy. to think about. And so LeBron James, as I just said, he just came back from China. And there was this report that he wrote in op ed.
And now the Associated Press has withdrawn its story, about him writing that. One of James's representatives says He made the comments attributed to him during media sessions. But he did not write. In op-ed.
Okay, alright, whatever. Is this what happens when you go to Marco, is this what happens? You go to the other side of the world, people just make stuff up that you said and you wrote? I think that happens at a lot of places.
So, yeah, I don't know. Other side of the world, you know, around the block, a lot of places.
So LeBron James says something to a media member. And somebody in America goes, LeBron James wrote this in an article? I mean, what are we doing here? Look, there's a lot of lost in translation to a lot of stupid things, but we've had our own issues with this. But yeah, this is.
Aren't you supposed to attribute? Aren't you supposed to like really read that with your own eyes? I would hope so.
Somebody read something on some website. It was like, oh, LeBron James wrote, I don't know. Yeah. Did he write it in English and it got translated? Or is LeBron...
Fluent. I'm sure he or the AP read The Mandarin was just wrong. He didn't write anything. They said he made the comments at a media session. And then somebody at the AP attributed it to an op-ed that LeBron wrote.
What? Okay. Did he make the comments in Mandarin? No. I don't think so.
No. I've I saw him say knee how and then he spoke English all last week. Aha. What do you say after that? I don't know.
That's as far as I've gotten. My oldest is taking Mandarin right now. That's the only thing I've learned so far. Oh, my God. Nares I'm serious.
I'm trying to. He's 11. He's in. Sixth grade. That's the hello.
How do you say goodbye? I don't know. That's the only thing he's taught me so far. I ask him every day. Like, he learned certain things.
I was like, so you took like a quiz, they said something, and then you had to figure out what it was. I'm like, so you can actually translate that? He's like, ah, you know, some context clues. I knew a few things, but I don't really know exactly what the words are. Is it alright?
So I'll let you know if I learn another word yet. I ask them every day. All you know is how how long has he been taking this? Uh, what are we, September 9th, two weeks? He's been taking which one?
Is it a Mandarin or Cantonese? Mandarin. He's been taking Mandarin. Mandarin won. Mandarin for sixth graders.
So I don't know how much I'm going to learn in JR. I got to be fancy. What type of fancy school is this? Whoa. Yeah, public school in New Jersey.
You got to do. Mandarin. Did he have an option? Did he want to learn Spanish or French? No.
What they do is, I actually kind of like this. Mandarin, first marking period. I forget exactly what the order is. He's got to take Spanish, another marking period. He's got to take.
I forget, maybe French and something.
So they give them four, and then in seventh grade, He has to decide which one he wants. Oh, yeah. And he has to move forward with that. That's good. I like that.
I was going to say. It's exposure to everything. I like that. Yes. No, that is good.
That is good. He'd be like, hey, man, you got Spanish or French? And then you just take one and just go with it the whole way. Right. Well, the whole way.
From, yeah, I don't know how far he's going to go with it, all that. But yeah, through sixth grade, he's got to learn four different languages. I know Mandarin, Italian, Spanish. Those are three. I don't remember what the fourth one is.
I would imagine French. Oh, well, that's good. That's good. So what is it? Like like three three teachers teaching all the languages?
I don't know how many teachers they have doing each individual one, but like the teacher that's teaching Mandarin is not teaching French. Uh they're they're They're consistent in the languages that they know. That's better than my school, man. We had one teacher teaching all the classes, okay? That's rough.
Social studies teacher was the math teacher. Math teacher was the gym teacher. I'm like, hey, I can't. Can I teach a class? Can I get a check?
What are they doing? That was me too, but that was K to 8, and that's where you get problems with the schools. These are nicer schools. Although I will say, my father taught Italian and Spanish. Oh, that's nice.
What is sister languages, right? Cousins or something like that? Ah, he's fluent in a bunch of languages, so he, you know. Yeah, Po what is that, a poly? Poly who?
Uh sure. Want a cracker? I don't know where you're going. There's a what? Poly, poly, poly, polygot, polyglot, something like that.
It's somebody who speaks all of the languages, all of them. But he Most of them. Again, born in Italy, so he knows obviously Italian's his first language. He's Spanish, fluent in English. He's got a bunch of them that he knows little things, but those two he's fluent.
He can curse people out with the best of them. Yeah, he's been an interpreter for a bunch of different languages, so yeah. Yeah, a little bit more than just a curse words. I don't know any more than that. Oh yeah.
Well the curses? Yeah, 'cause again, I was getting taught by people that were teaching gym and lunch and So, I should have gone to a different school. You got to be careful with your kids now, okay? You start coming in, you ask them to do something, they start saying things.
Well, I'm going to be all kinds of screwed up. He's going to be four languages. He's going to be able to curse me out now. Mandarin, by the end of the year, he's going to have four different languages, five. I learned that the new iPods.
What are these stupid things you put in your ears? I don't like them. The iPods, earpods, right? EarPods? AirPods, okay?
See, I told, I don't like them. I don't like them. I don't wanna plug in. I gotta wear headphones here for four hours, okay? When I leave here, the last thing I want to do is put something else near my ears.
I don't want it. What are they called, Bacha? AirPods? Yeah, the AirPods. Are they easy?
No, okay. I didn't think so.
Well, you said iPod. I was confused. You said earpod. Yeah. Uh But they got the ones now I read I heard today I read today that it'll automatically translate any language.
That's gonna be messy. Get out. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I read it today. Like the stuff they wear in the UN?
Get out of here. Did I get flim flammed like the uh Associated Press? Like, I think I saw what I saw. I saw something like that too. That's gonna have if you have it in one your ear, it'll hear what the language is said and it'll translate it.
Into your lobe. Seriously, that's the stuff they've had in the UN for years. Yeah, which you gotta, but there was a human doing it. Wow. I know, but again, so the idea that you were able to translate it in real time.
AirPods Pro 3 can translate conversations live in your ear. Damn. And again, they can also now measure your heart rate. No, thanks.
So, is it like your surroundings, or is it like on a phone call? Because if you're sitting in a room. with people speaking other languages and you can like hear what they're saying now. That's huge.
So that would be yeah, but hear what they're saying. That would be like a. I don't know, almost feels like it would be somebody in your head. There's just 17 different things going on. That's true.
Look, I don't want to know what people say anyway.
Okay. I don't want to know what people say. I think I'm okay in English. I think I'm okay. I don't want to know what people are saying to me half the damn time, let alone in another language.
No, thanks.
Now you got another excuse to talk to people. No, thank you.
So now you can be the fly on the wall for everything, so you can pretend that you're not paying attention because you have your AirPods in, but you're actually translating what other people are saying? I do that already without headphones.
Okay. Damn, CIA. Come into our block.
Somebody tried to get my attention the other day down the block. I acted like I didn't hear him, just kept going. That's how it is. Any language. Anyway.

With Downey Unstoppable, you just toss? Watch. Wow. all day freshness. It's not coming from Brent Veach and Andy Reid, and it's not coming from Sean McVay.
It's coming from the Cleveland Bronze. And you're seeing exactly why it's not outside of Cleveland. You know why it's not coming from those guys? Because they didn't draft him. They didn't want him to begin with.
This was the one team that wanted him. And they're telling you he's behind. Maybe it's not a grand conspiracy. Maybe everybody is right. And the Shador fans, you wackos, maybe it's your guy is just not ready.
Maybe you got to come to grips with it. The Ken Carmen Show with Anthony Lima on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcast. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast. On the infinity.
Sports. Network. Hey, I just told you about Angel Reese. Today was supposed to be the day she's coming back against the Aces. Not really.
She's out with a back issue. I don't know. Maybe she'll have a back issue the rest of the season to not play. I don't know. We'll see.
Anyway, it's the end of the show. Which means it's time for a few things that took place this day. sports history. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore.
However 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.
Today, as it's been all day, is September 9th. The year is 2025. If we go back to September 9th, 1965. Sandy Colfax. He threw his fourth career no-hitter.
It was his first perfect game. The Dodgers went over the Cubs. One to nothing. Listen to this courtesy of the great. Vin Scully on MLB.
It is 9.46 p.m. Two and two to Harvey Keene, one strike away. Sandy into his windup. Here's the pitch. Swing out and miss the perfect game.
Yeah, he had.
Well, he had that one perfect game. He had those four. Career, no hitters. That was his last. A no-hitter.
September 9th. 1987, I mean, this is all this guy did. Nolan Ryan. He got his Four thousand Five hundredth Strikeout. Astros beat the Giants 4-2.
In that game, Nolan Ryan struck out 16 guys. More strikeouts than anybody ever in baseball history, 57. Hundred John Smaltz. I didn't have to strike people out all the damn time. It's what he had to say about Nolan Ryan on Foul Territory Show.
Let's just say that guys can never pitch over five innings ever again. They still can't stay healthy. It's not an inning problem. What's impossible to do is train for max velocity and max spin and longevity. It's just impossible.
Nolan Ryan in our generation was a freak. They're supposed to be freaks. They're not supposed to be 20 of them. There's not supposed to be genetically 30 Nolan Ryans. Would you argue that there's at least 30 potential Nolan Ryans or more in the game today that have been manufactured that are not necessarily freaks?
And I think that in and of itself, when I look at the whole history of the game, at some point, we got to level off and move towards the act of what you're supposed to be doing as a starting pitcher. That's all I'm saying.
So that if we can train guys to stay healthier, this would be great, even if it was only five innings. I hope so. I'm sick of five innings. I'm sick of that. Give me seven innings.
Seven innings is what a start is. Five minutes of crap. No thanks. September 9th. Another legend.
1992. Robin Yeon. becomes the 17th guy. To get three thousand hits. In Major League Baseball, the Brewers, they beat the Indians 5-4.
Let's listen courtesy at MLB. The O1 pitch. Swing! Select opposing the rights there. He's got it three thousand to run.
It's September 9th, 2018. How about this? Good for the Green Bay Packers. They start their 100th season. A 24-23 comeback over.
Sorry. The Chicago Bears at Lambeau Field.
Okay, this is the first time the Packers came back from 17 down. to come back and win. Matter of fact, Aaron Rodgers had a big touchdown to Randall Cobb late in the fourth quarter to get the job done. Listen to this from NBC. Third and ten.
Graham's been awfully quiet. Rogers surveying fire. That's caught. Randall Cobb into Chicago Territory. Randall Cobb inside the 20-yard line.
Randall Cobb is going to score. 75 yards. That is crazy. My goodness. I heard an announcer one time say, I don't believe what I just saw.
On a third and 10, 75 yards. Al, he can't even stand on this left leg, and he is making play after play after play. Man, I guess this is the part of the show where we got to listen about another old ass quarterback because on September 9th, 2021, Tom Brady. He becomes the first player in NFL history to start 300 regular season games. His Buccaneers at the time beat the Cowboys 31-29.
It was opening day of the 2021 season. and Ryan Suck up. Hit a game-winning field goal to go out there and beat him. Let's listen to Kevin Harlan. on Westwood 1.
Trenner will snap it. Opinion will hold it. Suck up from 36. Ball put down in the grass. Right-footed kick is up and it's called!
Two seconds to go. The Buccaneers have taken the lead. Man, Kevin Harlan could make a taking out the trash.
Sound entertaining. And shoutouts to Kevin Harlan. And I think his daughter, who also uh recently got married, I think this year. You think? Maybe I'm late.
Anyway. Hey, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. Yeah, we went back all the way to nineteen sixty five with Sandy Colfax. Ah, but right now, at this moment, I'm just going to tell you what took place in the past four hours. Hey, thank you so much.
