It is the JR Sport Brief Show. On the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much for being here. We appreciate you.

This show gets started every weekday, 6 p.m. Eastern. three Pacific. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. Our producer hold him down in New York City?

is Ryan Botcher. And speaking of New York City, The New York Yankees and the Bronx New York. They're currently trailing the Toronto Blue Jays three to one. and the top of the third. The Blue Jays lead this series.

Two games to nothing. If the Yankees lose tonight, their season is over.

Meanwhile, In Detroit, Michigan, downtown Detroit. The Mariners lead the Tigers Five to one. It's the bottom of the six. This series is tied up at one game apiece. The mariners are trying to go up.

Two games. To one. We'll keep you up to date with all the baseball action as we continue on. And we've already had a busy, busy show. Thank you so much.

JP Shadrick coming through to talk to us about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Starting the season 4-1 after beating the pass last night. Or excuse me, beating the Chiefs. Also, we had a great conversation with Jonathan Peterlin. 92-3, the fan in Cleveland.

He came through. to talk about Joe Flacco being moved. From the Browns So the Bengals. Yes, Shador Sanders is now QB two. Dylan Gabriel is QB one.

God knows if we'll see.

Well You know who, Deshaun Watson. We'll see you sooner than later. Damn it, what we just saw is Vladimir Guerrero score again. Damn, Toronto's Bontra, is it appropriate to say they're beating up on the Yankees? Yes, that is.

It's it's four to one now. The phones are starting to ring. Rodan is gonna eventually get the boot. Vlad Jr. is diving headfirst into scores.

He's hyped as hell. You're not looking good for the Yankees right now. Anyway, you want to be a part of the show, you can. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-48.

For ISN. You can find me online. I exist. I'm on the internet. At J.R.

Sport Brief. Missed a minute of the show, go ahead, hit rewind. On the Free Odyssey. At Damn. Uh oh.

You gotta get Rodon out of there quick. you know, give up another run or something. Further away from them to try to win anything.

Okay, wow. Botcher if the Yankees lose tonight. Who and what is on the back page of the New York Post getting killed? Uh Aaron Boone. It's gotta be him.

Just even though we don't, I don't think it's personally Aaron Boone's fault when your pitcher goes out there and can't. get outs And then on top of that, your defense has been... Average at best.

So The only person that's gonna get blamed is Boone just because he's the head of the team. But it's it's a complete failure. You're not going to get judged for not hitting the home runs all over the place. I don't think so. 'Cause the Blue Jays well they can start to complain that they can't get to the Blue Jays bullpen.

But It's just an utter mess everywhere. with them and it's It's like they're not hitting in situational times. Their pitching has been Bad. And now Third. struggling to play good defense.

Yeah, well, I mean, they struggled to play good defense last year in the World Series.

So, look, this. Yankees may not even get to no damn World Series this year. Yeah, we'll keep you up to date on this game as it continues to progress. I told you meanwhile in Detroit, after a long rain delay, hours long rain delayed a Seattle leads Detroit five to one. Gotta really suck to uh sit around in the rain, Just to see a team get demolished.

Well, there's still time. It's the bottom of the sixth in Detroit. And so they still have time for them to put four more runs up on the board. Let's see what happens there. 888-710-4ISN.

That's 888-710-4ISN. There's a lot that's going on today. NHL season has started. It is underway. Maybe you didn't notice.

Understandably so. And then the bigger news, I guess you could say. Like we had a whole twenty four hours to kinda guess and Think about what LeBron James' message was going to be. Like he teased that there was going to be a second decision made today. We know his first decision took place in 2010.

He told everybody he was taking his talents to South Beach. And then we found out Lebron had another decision to day. And it was either going to be a publicity stunt Or it was going to be him letting everybody know. You know, this is going to be my last year.

Well It turned out that LeBron James' decision was, well, take a listen for yourself.

Well Everyone's on pins and needles across the country. You ready to go, LeBron? Where's the powder? Left it at home. LeBron, fans want to know where you're taking your talents this year.

What's your decision? And this fall Man, this is tough. In this fall, I'm gonna be taking my talents. To Hennessy VSOP. The SOP.

And this was the conclusion you woke up with this morning? That was the conclusion I woke up with this morning. Yeah, I mean Underwhelming me? I think most of us understood that it was probably going to be some type of publicity stunt, and that's exactly what it is. LeBron James is selling Hennessy.

Good. Good. Hennessy is getting free advertising all over the country. It might have ticked some people off, but. It worked out for Lebron now, doesn't it?

Good for him. Good for Hennessy. And I also think that. This is a real indicator unless there's some major injury or you know, LeBron and his talents fall off the side of a cliff. I think this would lead us to believe that there's a good possibility that LeBron James isn't just going to play this year.

But that he might play the following year as well. because I still find it wholly impossible That LeBron James goes into an NBA season. and just quits at the end without a farewell tour. They will try to maximize the hell out of this. You got to show up.

He has to go to all these arenas. He has to be, you know, tossed flowers and showered with praise and pregame ceremonies, and teams have to give him gifts and He's gonna love it. The NBA is going to monetize it. He's not done. I think he'll be playing for another year after this one.

At this point, why not? Go play 25 years, LeBron. Go get it in. Damn it, the Blue Jays are getting it in. They left Rodon in that game.

Blue Jays now lead the Yankees six to one. In the third inning. Yeah, not looking good for the Yankees in their season to continue on. I mean, when you got some matchers like Judge out there and Stanton, who, by the way, haven't hit home runs yet. You got some other guys.

Trent Grisham hit a career high in home runs. He hasn't done anything. Yeah, not looking good in the Bronx, New York. Yankee season might be coming to a close. Very, very soon.

888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-500. Caden is calling from Ohio. You on the Chair Sport Brief show? What's up, Caden?

Hey man, how you doing? I'm amazing. How are you? Good, man. Hey, I just wanted to.

Uh show out a little point of uh the Ohio State Buckeyes this year. I think they're playing really, really good and Just some stats for you. Ohio State, their defense is only allowed two touchdowns all year long. Um They have an average of 5.5 points per game for their defensive allowed. Julian Stain has the highest completion percentage in the country.

And I just really think that this year, Ryan Day kind of needs some praise because Myself personally as an Ohio State fan from Ohio, after we lost to Michigan last year, I was like, I'm not really sure what's going to happen here, you know. And then we went out and won the national championship, and the This year we're coming in and Everybody wasn't really sure. You know, a lot of people from ESPN were saying that Texas was going to. not dog walk us, but pretty much won the game. And then this year, you know, We're coming out and playing really good.

And I think Matt Patricia needs a lot of praise. But I just wanted to see what your guys' thoughts were on that. But all righty, thanks guys. Go Bucks.

Well, thank you, Caden, for calling from Ohio. Nobody cares.

Now, I'm being honest, nobody cares until November. Like tell me when you play Michigan, nobody cares. Like Texas has looked like ass.

Okay, you got Arch Manning running for his life. And the Ohio State University, they're doing everything that they're supposed to be doing. And so the fact that things are pretty pretty much quiet. I think that's all the praise that you need. Like if I'm a fan of the Buckeyes, I'm like, hey, just get us to the playoff and let's roll.

That's it. Or, if you're a fan of the Buckeyes, excuse me, you want to take on Michigan, and then you want to roll. Like it's a it's a non-story, which is a great thing.

Okay, the reason why Texas is in the news and people are talking about what the hell is going on with them, it's because they're disappointing. By the way, I didn't hear anybody saying that Texas was going to dog walk them and whoop that ass. Like, who cares what other people say? Enjoy winning. You're a Buckeyes fan.

Enjoy whatever the hell they end up doing with Michigan. He'll probably beat Michigan, should beat Michigan at the end of the season. And then let the chips flow where they may. He's like, oh, you know, Ryan Day needs credit. What, out outside of Ohio, outside of Columbus?

Like they won a national championship. Like there's It's a beautiful thing. That there's nothing to talk about with the Buckeyes.

Okay. And outside of Texas, I mean, yeah, beating up on Grambling, Ohio, Washington, Minnesota. like they're doing what they're supposed to do. Let's see what they do this Saturday. Against Illinois.

They'll probably go out there and beat him too. It may not be no fifty to three ass whooping. But just nobody think about the Buckeyes. It came back to me in. November.

And if there's nothing to talk about, that means they're winning. They're doing their damn jobs. 888710-4ISN That's 8 at 8710-4ISN. Dave is here from Tucson, Arizona. You on the J.

R. Sport Brief Show. What's up, Dave? Uh yes. Uh is Lamar Jackson going to play on Sunday.

I don't know, man. Do you do I who knows? How am I supposed to know that? I don't know.

Well, I don't know. I was so you might have read the injury report. I don't know or or if they stated or not. No, there's nothing. I don't know, so I don't know what to do.

No, it's Tuesday. Like, I don't know. Nobody knows. No. I mean, they were so tight-lipped with his hamstring the first damn time.

I have no idea. I could tell you he asked me about my hamstring. Go ahead.

Okay, how's your hamstring? M my hamstrings are good. They've been pulled once in my life and I don't want to experience that again.

Okay. Well, thanks. I was hoping to find something out of I know they're tight-lipped about it, but I hope you might have heard something. The game is on they play the Rams on Sunday. It's Tu it's Tuesday.

They just played two days ago. Yeah. Yeah, sometimes they release. Information early, but only if he was going to be out for a very, very, very long time. Oh, actually, I'm a Steeler fan.

That's what I was hoping to hear. No. Well, I don't have that information for you. Be happy you don't got to worry about him right now, okay? Yeah.

All right. Thank you, Dave, for calling from Tucson, Arizona. He's like, JR, I don't know. Lamar Jackson probably doesn't even know. You're just like, man, my legs are a big part of my game.

I can't go out there and run. Let's also keep in mind nobody nobody Probably not even his own family. Nobody wants to see Cooper Rush going out there playing football. Nobody. Nobody.

eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's 888-710. four I S N Yankees are down six to one damn already. A Seattle beating Detroit five to one. We got Mac calling from Buffalo. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show.

Mac, what's your question? My question is. coaches, 'cause I I played back in the days I didn't play, but back in the days of Gary Williams and Case Boost and all that stuff, where they could build a a team. You know, they might leave the junior year or something, but how do these coaches figure out how to build a team when they know that they have? um the opportunity to leave at any time for more money.

You're referring to you're talking about colle college coaching. Division yeah, college coaching, division one. And you know how college coaches are, all right, we got our freshmen and we got so and so and they're building a team. In my opinion, and how I've watched Maryland, for example, I was there for about four years. And um Watson builds a team, meaning we want this person, we want that person.

Well, things are a little bit different. Things are a little bit different, and thank you, Mac, for calling from Buffalo. Things are different in the college ranks. I mean, if you take a look at the pros, the The coaches basically exist to get fired. 'Cause you're in a space where the star players and In a lot of cases, these dudes are getting 50 and 60.

and $70 million a year now. If you're a coach, it's grand opening, grand closing. If things don't work out, you're gone. I think what you're seeing on the college side of things right now College coaches still have some clout.

Okay, if there's one guy who's going to be sticking around, it is the college coach. We know about NIL and the transfer window. And yeah, if you are a coach and you can kind of climb the the tree of success and you can be, I don't know, Caleb DeBoer and go from you know, Washington and then take over for Sabin. You know, that's not a lateral move. That's an upswing coming down to coach football in the SEC.

It's big time, that's big money. I mean, we got coaches, even though they're having down seasons. A guy like Dabo Sweeney is running around telling everybody: hey, it doesn't matter what we look like. Go ahead and take a look at my resume. Like these are dudes, case of Dabo Sweeney, he's not going anywhere.

And he knows regardless of what he looks like right now, his buyout is prohibitive. And paying him to just go away. And leave. And so, unless you happen to be some young coach and you stink, It's going to be a little bit hard to get you the hell up on out of there because the coaches who've been around a long time. they still have these big buyouts.

And so the coaches at the college ranks You can still have players making money. A guy like Carson Beck is pulling in, what, three, four? Million dollars a season now playing in Miami. The coach has got a little bit more pull. You just can't old nilly willy, year after year, unless you just really suck.

And go ask UCLA about that one with Deshaun Foster. It's different right now. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. In a lot of cases, you got a successful coach. College coach is going to be the face of the entire A football program or the basketball program, we've seen that.

888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. You could talk about coaches moving around. Quitting Getting fired? I already told you about Jerry Jones getting fined a quarter million dollars for uh flipping a bird at jet fans.

We got a couple of players across sports, a couple of athletes in sports. who've been punished today.

Okay, Odell Beckham junior? He got suspended for what? I'll tell you on the other side. Conor McGregor. When is the last time this guy had a fight?

He's also been suspended. I'm going to tell you what these two idle individuals did. to get punished. And then by the time I come back I wonder if uh The Toronto Blue Jays will put up another run against the Yankees. I'll tell you on the other side, it's the J.R.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network.

Well, how about this? The Yankees uh they got life. Aaron Judge with a uh A run scoring double the Yankees now lose well, They're down 6-2. Go ahead and put it that way.

Meanwhile, In Detroit. The Mariners they still lead the Tigers five to one it's the top of the eighth. The Mariners are trying to take a 2-1 a series LEAD 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710. Of 4ISN.

You know, we discussed some of the punishments that were handed out earlier today. You had Jerry Jones fined by the NFL a quarter million dollars for flipping a bird. double bird to New York Jet fans. Jerry Jones says it was an accident. He meant to give the thumbs up to the Cowboys fans.

Okay, what a jerk that guy is. And then. On the other hand, you have an NFL head coach in Jonathan Gannon, who was fined by his own organization one hundred thousand dollars, for kinda putting his hands and and getting physical with DiMarcado. Uh when he didn't take the ball across the end zone. And instead You know, decided to let the ball.

You know, fall out of his hand.

So instead of a touchdown, it was a touch back. For the Tennessee Titans.

So Jonathan Gannon fined $100,000 by his own team. For being a little Little too aggressive. with his own player.

Now It's not the only guys that have been uh punished today. How the hell did this happen? Old Dell Beckham Jr. This man is trying to get back into the NFL. He's 33 years old.

Last year, he played for the Miami Dolphins, had nine catches in nine games for 55 yards. Let me say that again. In nine games. He had nine catches for fifty five yards with the Dolphins. Odell Beckham, junior has been suspended, It's six games.

for PED use. And then Old Dell was sitting down on the Pivot podcast as this was announced today. And he says, I don't know if I took PEDs. I didn't. I didn't get an explanation.

If I did, I didn't know. Listen to his excuse. I don't even know. Like I couldn't tell you. We sat there with my main PTV, we questioned everything.

What is it? Could it have been this? I don't have no new supplements. I don't have nothing that just. I can't put my finger on it, and I'm being honest with you.

And to say, like, and then for me to ask the questions, I'm like, so what is it? And they're just telling me it's Your testosterone levels were high. That's it? They didn't s I I don't know. They didn't tell you what triggered the results?

And so basically h he's suspended. He can't join a team for another, what, six weeks? It's a six-game suspension. He's trying to get back into the league or trying to get onto a team. As a matter of fact, he even started naming teams that he'd be happy to go to, like reuniting with the New York Giants.

I guess he just wants to play. Going to the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, do the Chiefs need him? Would they want him? Yeah, it's uh It's kinda odd.

I'm going to bring on a thirty three year old injury prone wide receiver I got to bring him on, and he's suspended. We may have seen the last. of O'Dell Beckham Jr. He's not a fan of the testing system, of course, being the fact that he is a Not currently playing. Six games.

So last year I was dealing with this, and for me, This was like tough because We talk about those dark times. We talk about the things as a man, like I cheated myself. As a man As a father, as a son, a brother, like I I cheated myself in ways that were hard to like forgive myself for, you know? Whether you're doing things you shouldn't do, you just know. Like, I'm cheating myself, but like, I've never cheated.

the system You know? And it's hard for me like... To come back and play football, I have to come out. And deal with while I was in Miami, hearing that you get charged. And someone says you failed for PEDs, which I've been in a program, you know how to go.

We're grown man. I'm in the program because I didn't tell them I was in Arizona and I was going to Vegas for one night, and now I'm in Vegas, and you want to come take a drug test, and I'm not here. And then all of a sudden, It's kind of a crazy thing. Like, if you wanted to. If you was in Orlando and you like, I'm going to Miami tonight.

To go kick it. You're not going to call moms and be like, yeah, moms. Maybe you'll update your mom, but like, you don't need to. As a grown man, I don't need to be telling another man. where I'm going, logging into a computer, like, hey, I'm going here, like.

You know, there's a couple things that are just kind of You know, we talk about the system and that's Talk about the system. Man, he he's done. I think he's finished. I think this six game suspension might have put a fork in him. I mean, it would take a team having to go through massive injuries to their wide receiver group.

Just to say we're going to bring an old out. And especially knowing what he did last year wasn't good with Miami. And now you you gotta wait until what, week week 12, week 13, before you just bring them in? We'll see if somebody gets thin. They'd have to be thin and desperate at the wide receiver position to bring in Odell.

We might have seen. uh the last of them. Speaking of suspensions, this came on the same day. Conor McGregor suspended? For for what was he doing that uh, well, I don't need a lawsuit.

Uh what did he do? Was it an injection? Was it a pill? Did he inhale something? I don't know, apparently.

Connor McGregor, who, by the way, he hasn't fought, since twenty twenty one. and Dustin Poirier. Think it was when he broke his leg and talked that crap to that guy's wife. Connor McGregor is out. Because he missed drug tests?

Huh? What? Listen to this from CBS Sports. We have breaking news from the UFC where superstar Conor McGregor has accepted an 18-month ban for violating the UFC's anti-doping policy. McGregor missed three attempted sample collections last year leading to this ban.

His period of ineligibility began on September the 20th, 2024, and will end on March 20th, 2026. The standard ban was reduced from 24 months to 18 due to his cooperation and the fact that he was injured or not preparing for a fight at that time. This would not affect his potential availability for the UFC event at the White House, which President Donald Trump announced is set for June 14th next year, McGregor. has not fought since 2021. Uh, come on.

What big deal, right? It's like a retroactive suspension for missing drug tests. Like, what are we doing here? And he's what is he going to do? I can't even say come out of inactivity.

He was supposed to fight a guy last year, and it didn't happen. Does does anybody is anybody itching to see him fight? Conor McGregor hasn't had a fight in the UFC in four. Years. Four years And if we fast forward to July 4th next year, if they actually do have this UFC event at the White House, which I.

I think it's one of the tackiest things ever. Let's celebrate America with UFC on the grounds of the White House. Like, do it down the block at the. MCI Sun or Verizon Sun, whatever the hell they call that dump in Chinatown. Just do it there.

The White House grounds? Oh. Tacky. Anyway, if he is to fight at this event, They're going to be five years. And so we're just going to throw him into the octagon and I don't know.

At that point he'll be what thirty thirty eight years old? Connor McGregor is an easy gotter. Root for to get his ass kicked. And so, yeah, maybe he gets his ass kicked at the White House. Who knows?

Just uh. You can't make some of these uh things up.

Well, let's see if this big event happens at the White House next year to uh Celebrate America's birthday. People punching and bleeding on the White House.

Okay, we'll see about that one. Anyway, something that you may not see anytime soon outside of Conor McGregor and Oldell Beckham Jr. Its tailor swift performing, At the Super Bowl. Yeah, we learned what last week, two weeks ago, that Bad Bunny was going to be out there performing? Taylor Swift was sitting down or sitting down with Jimmy Fallon last night.

Why the hell not? She just came out with an album on Friday, so you might as well walk around and do the rounds. Taylor Swift gave us some insight as to why you shouldn't expect to see her. especially while Travis Kelsey is still playing. Listen.

Jay-Z has always been very good to me. Our teams are really close. Like, we're always able to tell him the truth, which is that, like, I am in love with a guy who does that sport on that actual field. Like, that is violent chess. That is gladiators without swords.

That is dangerous. I am. The whole season, I am locked in on what that man is doing on the field. Can you imagine if he's out there every single week, like putting his life on the line, doing this very dangerous, very high-pressure, high-intensity sport? And I'm like, I wonder what my Choreo should be.

Oh my gosh, honey, let me have one thing. I think we should do two verses of shake it off into blank space, into. Girl Summer would be great. Like, it's just like, this is, and this is nothing to do with Travis. He would love for me to do it.

I'm just too locked in. Oh Botcha, we're missing out. We're missing out. What am I going to do with my life? I I I don't get it.

I don't know how Travis Kelsey doing his job. will interfere with her doing her job. when there's a small chance at this point that the Chiefs will even make the Super Bowl. Also, it's like Travis Kelsey, is he planning the entire halftime show?

So And she wants to watch the football game. That's it, right? She doesn't want to be a week. She doesn't want to. Yeah, but she has to.

You just heard her. She has to do the choreography and dance and sing and. And then she has to go to pract it's not just one day. If he advances, she wants to see him play. You know, it's probably the end.

I can respect it. We all know he's closer to the end. She ain't going nowhere. Right, big deal. I don't know.

She flew. half cross halfway that halfway across the world to watch a football game. I think she can I don't know, fit some time to learn a choreography if you want to do the halftime show. She's going to miss a game. She's going to miss a couple of games.

I doubt that.

So it's some work, Bacha. It's a lot of work, man. I know. We're planning for half-time. Everybody just can't wake up and make fun of Drake, you know?

Well, that was a good halftime show, Kendrick Lamar, though. There was a lot of stuff going on. Yeah. Yeah, but I think it's easier to make fun of Drake than whatever the heck she does, right? Or maybe not, I don't know.

What does she do? A lot of dancing, a lot of set changes.

Now I'm not being an ass here. Does she dance? Can she really dance? It's not great. Oh, they're not.

Okay. It's choreographed stuff. It's the effort.

Okay, all right. E for effort, she gets. Yes, and she sells tickets, so it works. I guess. Yes, yeah.

Listen, I've had some conversations with some friends. I'm like, what's the big deal about this lady? I don't get it. People all over the world like her because she makes breakup music? I just don't get it.

Look, I am not the demographic for Taylor Swift. I think most people would understand that. I just. I don't get it. I guess you teenage teenage women all over the world, teenage women, grown women, I don't know.

Not a woman. Hey, this guy's not a woman at all either, but maybe he has some insight. Marco Belletti, why do people like Taylor Swift? Y'all, I'm out of my depth. You can.

You're in the same boat as me. I have no idea. I got to be fair. I found out that Shake It Off. I thought that was the pig song in that movie.

I didn't even know that was her. I don't know any of her music.

So I am not the demographic that people are shooting for. I had no clue. I had no idea. I just, I know she's. Boss, don't be laughing at me, man.

I seriously, I thought that was the pig. I thought it was Renee Zellwiger over whoever sings that song in the movie. Oh, my gosh. I had no idea. From Sing, Sing.

Sing, yeah. No, the first sing. The first one.

Okay. Yeah. Sung well by the pig. I had no idea that was Taylor Swift. I don't know any of her music.

It's uh three grown men on the radio. None of us know uh Why'd Taylor Swift is popular? It's catchy. Yeah. But she she's been around for, what is it now, since O six.

So it's been 19 years of Putting out radio songs that are on 24/7 so she grows an audience, and then on top of that, I guess. I don't know.

She's won a lot of words, so people see her all the time, so they're going to keep listening.

Okay. Oh, you are A and R now? Like what what Yeah. Yeah. Like, did you write the plan?

Well, you said nineteen years. That's barely how old were you when this came out? She was five when she really came out with her debut album. Oh boy, okay.

So it's like I I've seen Taylor Swift. You've grown up with Taylor Swift your whole life. Basically, I get it. And she, I don't know, she's kind of like Disney Channel adjacent to me, where it's like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift are like kind of similar, but they're not. You see on that?

No, no. That's the thing. Oh, okay. But Billy Ray Cyrus, I think, was in a movie with Miley Cyrus.

Well, that's their father. No, no, I messed that up. Yeah, I understand the fame of Billy Ray Cyrus. I also understand the fame of Miley Cyrus. I don't understand the fame.

Outside of making breakup songs, and that's all I get, I understand, is Taylor Swift.

So, hey. She doesn't make the music for me. She doesn't make it for Marco. Does she make it for you? You don't get it either.

Not anymore. No. The first couple of albums were really good. Oh really? Yeah, and then I haven't listened to, I don't know.

I mean, I will. I will never find out. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. Anyway.

There's a lot of things to find out now. New York Yankees trying to show some life. Tigers made everybody wait in the rain. God only knows what's going on with them. The NHL is underway and.

Hey, amongst everything that's taken place to day, LeBron James' decision to let you know that he's uh promoting Hennessy. Jerry Jones getting fine, Jonathan Gannon getting fine for smacking around his own player on the side line. Baseball going on right now. The New York Yankees. trailing the Blue Jays six to three and a fourth, the Mariners, Yeah, it looks like the Tigers, everybody's sitting in that rain delay.

They got a whole lot of nothing in return. The Mariners smacking them eight to one. Looks like the Mariners will go up. Two games to one. They're in the bottom of the night trying to close things out.

Amongst all of those things, The NHL started their season today. They did. The Panthers raised their banner. They beat the Blackhawks 3-2. We got the Avalanche and the Kings.

They get started in about 45 minutes. Then we got the Penguins and Rangers going at it as well. The Penguins currently lead the Rangers one to nothing. At the end of the second period. And so, yeah, the NHL is here.

Let's see if the Panthers can three Pete. That's gonna be tough, I doubt it. But yeah, we got all the way to June to figure that one out. It's October. I don't really really want to think about June.

It's too far in the future. But one thing that we will do, always do at the end of the show, We go back in time.

So a few things that took place this day in sports history. Back, back, back, back. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore. But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history.

See, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything, and it was primitive and lousy, and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is October 7th. The year is 2025.

If we go back to October 7th in 1984, Sweetness, Walter Payton. He broke Jim Brown's career rushing mark. of twelve thousand three hundred and twelve. Yards. He did it.

Now Chicago took on the Saints. In a victory where Chicago won 20. to seven. Take a listen to this, Walter Payton Breaking Jim Brown's Mark. Second play of the second half of the 21-yard line.

Walter needs two to break the record. High formation, wing to the right is McKinnon, golf wide to the left, they send McKinnon in motion through to the left side. Quick pitch to Walter, looking for the record, cuts back, he's got it, he's out of the 25 to the 26-yard line. Walter Payton becomes the national football league all-time leading rusher, surpassing Jim Brown on his second carry here in the second half, and that's the equivalent to Hank Aaron breaking Bay Brew's all-time home run record, and listen to the standing ovation. Yeah, shout outs.

The sweetness. Damn. And we know ultimately Emmett Smith came through and he now owns and has. the all-time rushing record. October 7th, speaking of a legend, I can't believe he's not here as well.

It's kind of nuts. 2001. Ricky Henderson, he was playing for San Diego at the time. He became the 25th player in baseball history to get to 3,000 hits. He did it with a bloop double.

Unfortunately, San Diego lost to Colorado 14-5, but Ricky... Man, did Ricky ever retire? Probably not. Listen to Ricky get his 3,000 hit. Rookie's had some success against him.

He's 4 for 13 with a home runoff, Thompson. And a flyball, right field. Is it gonna fall? Is it gonna fall? There it is, there it is, number 3,000 for Ricky Henderson.

And the Padres come streaming in. but congratulate their teammate who in his first advanced has garnered his 3,000th career hit. Man. Damn, Ricky. Ricky, 3,000 hits.

Ricky just played forever. Did everything. October 7th, the same day, 2001. From Ricky to Barrett. Yeah, Barry Barnes.

This man hit his seventy third home run.

Okay? Yeah, we know. Anyway, listen to uh Barry Bonds gets 73. Here's the payoff. A floater to bonds.

Yeah, he hits. And ha. He hits it D and it is up here Number 73 That's incredible he might start laughing on his way home Well, that's it he's hit every pitch he could throw Yeah, yeah, the Giants they beat the Dodgers In that game, eight to nothing. You could tell I don't care for Barry Bonds. And shoutouts to Hank Aaron.

Okay, how about that? October 7th. It's 2012. Drew Brees Lighten it up. He threw for three hundred and seventy yards.

Had four touchdown passes. As the Saints beat his former team, the Chargers, 31, To 24 in this game. Drew Brees, he broke the NFL record by throwing a touchdown in his 48th consecutive game. You're not supposed to do that. But Drew Brees did.

Take a listen to this. This is NBC and Al Michaels. Zone blitz, Priest steps up. Nice time wide open, and there it is. Drew Brees to Debree Henderson.

Drew Brees setting one of those records for the ages. Drew Brees has just set a new NFL record by throwing a touchdown pass in 48 consecutive games. He passes the great Johnny Goinatus who set the previous mark 52 years ago. Yeah, San Diego was like, hey, your shoulder sucks. Get out of here.

He found new life in the Super Bowl and a Hall of Fame career. in Louisiana in New Orleans. October 7, 2017. Alexander Ovechkin, this man scored four goals. to become the first player in 100 years.

with back to back hat tricks to open the season. His caps beat the Canadiens. Six to one Ovechkin's like, I got all six goals, give me. Delivers for Ness, bluffs the slapper. Guznets off fire, score!

Um And did he get a piece of money? Yeah, he did. Wow. Another hat trick for Alex Ovechkin. Just enough, and then just misses the glove of Carrie Price.
