Okay. Yeah, there's no, nobody would save me. I just choke here in the studio. What a way to go. What a way to go.
Well, anyway, I'm alive. I'm happy to be here. The show gets started at 6 p.m. Eastern 3 Pacific. Dodgers are taking on the Brewers right now.
They got a two to one lead in the fourth inning. Man, this game is moving. Damn. If the Dodgers end up winning, They take a 2-0 series lead. back to Las Angelus.
Thank you to Hub Arkish for coming through and joining us to talk about the Chicago Bears. And thank you to all of you for being here. Got calls coming in from, I don't know, Boise to Baltimore or New Jersey People hitting us up. all over the place. And as we continue on with the show, of course, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day.
in sports history. We talked about the parody that exists in the NFL right now. We'll get into Giannis or Teracumpo. He every week is something about where he's going to go. He has made one solid statement about his future.
We'll get into that. There's so much going on. If you want to be a part of the show, you can do that too. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N. That's 888-710-59.
Four. I SN If you use the internet He's scrolling at work. Scrolling at home. Doing whatever you do, you can find me everywhere at. JR Sport Brief.
It's been a fun show. Falcons are looking good. We're able to talk about them. Bears look good. Made fun of the Titans for the unfortunate realities that their fan base sits in.
Yeah, it's it's been a it's been a good show. 888-710-4IS. Uh-oh, here we go. I know what's coming on. People in Baltimore we had one a shout outs to Fran for calling from Delaware.
Everybody, not everybody. There are people ready to get rid of Harbaugh. They're like he gots to go. And I'm like, not over the bye week. What you want to fight?
What is that doing now? Like you gotta you gotta get regardless of how you feel about him Just give him through the end of the season. You really become a joke, a laughing stock. If you just give him the boot now, you don't do it. You're moving into, I don't want to say uncharted territory.
You're one in five. And if your thought process is, oh my God, the Baltimore Ravens are one and five, you know, let's just take it all, and this season is over anyway. That may very well be the case, regardless of who is coaching the team. But you don't want this to have to get into the locker room where the players have to answer this all the time. You don't want to be the Browns, you don't want to be the Titans, you don't want to be the Jets.
This is a team that has been good. And we know they have not gotten over the hump. But they have been good over the past several seasons. and so just to yank the rug from underneath him at the end, It's going to cause more harm than good. At the overall it's not.
A good Lock. At all. Eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's 888-710-4ISN. And then the reality is If I'm another NFL head coach. And the Ravens are not going to do it.
Okay, they're not. They would have to hit. The skids completely To fire a hardbar in the season.
Okay, I'm not saying that it won't happen. They'd have to really hit the skids and be embarrassed. At the end of the year, Get rid of them if you think the team is going in the wrong direction, okay? But if I'm another coach and I'm going, man, look at look at how they treating him. And they just find him in the bye week.
Why do I want to go work there? Unless you're some schmuck. Looking for your first job. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's 888-710-4ISN. Trippy.
It's Colin from Baltimore. You're in the JR Sport Brief Shop. Hey Jay, y'all, look good, man. Long time I ain't talked to you, man.
Well, thank you. I can't remember the last time you were here, but I'm glad you're here now. What's up? Yeah, remember I remember I said we was gonna pack the bills up, I think, and we lost, you know, I you know, in the playoffs. People tell well, listen, people people say a lot of things to me uh all the time, so.
Yeah, but I just followed you back on my new Twitter page. It's suspended, Miles. But let me talk about the Twitter. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They suspended your Twitter?
Botcha, do I want to ask why? Should I ask? Yeah. Hey, I was on my way to Buffalo week one and I Accounts suspended.
So, I mean, they say behavior, but I don't know. You were harassing Buffalo Bills fans on social media? No, I mean, I was driving on my way on the highway, you know, and you just lost. Oh, you know, I drank. I was drinking a little, you know, a little, no, no.
Nope. No. No. But look, let me ask AJ y'all. How many games the Ravens played so far?
We won in five, right? Six games. Let me tell you how many games I went to this year. Five. Can you tell me how many wins I saw this week?
I mean, this out of them five games? Did you go to Cleveland? Cleveland? Borough. Yeah, yeah.
Well, let me tell you something, right?
Now I understand everything you said about hardball, right? Maybe it it it might be dumb to fire. Only be stated is right, all right, we play the Bears next. I'm looking at it like if we can't beat The Dolphins. Why not fire him now?
Why wait to the end of the season? It's stale.
Now, just hear me out, right? Every press conference, yeah. We just gotta learn from our mistakes. Bro, we've been trying to learn from our mistakes since 2019. Hello?
Is I'm lying? Like, come on. Is this still? I just think it's time for a new change. And another thing, JR, this is my opinion.
I just feel like them coaches baby up the players too much. They make mistakes. They don't yell at them or nothing like that. Like, this is the pros, man. This is the pros.
Well, I think outside of outside of a lot of the and I I can't even Look at a guy like uh Hamilton and They are more of a veteran group that exists. I mean, they've been able to draft some grown. Do you think Kyle Hamilton is a veteran?
Well, he's been around for like two or three years, and he's one of the best safeties in the game. They just gave him a massive contract. My point is, outside of really the cornerbacks who exist, and they brought in a lot of young uh cornerbacks, the team is is for the most part It it's led by veterans. I mean, who's yelling at the the star quarterback? When you say hey, they uh when you say cornerback's not to cut you off, I I hope name the cornerbacks 'cause I hope you ain't about to say who I think you're about to say.
Hello? What what like uh bringing in a Nate Wiggins from here in Atlanta, Georgia? I love Nate Wiggins. That's my dog. Shout out to Nate.
Well, he's young. My point is, and I'm not looking at, I'm looking at all defensive backs. We can start looking at the Marlon Humphreys. My point is, you're saying that they're not aggressive with the players. You also bring up a point about how, you know, well, I get it.
Things are stale. Let's fire. What I'm telling you, just in a very simple way. And this is not something for Baltimore. This is any organization.
When you've had an amount of success, the Baltimore Ravens have been one of the best teams in the NFL. You brought up 2019. Yes. Since 2019, over the past five years, they've been one of the best. Have they advanced to an AFC championship game?
Have they won a Super Bowl? We know the answer is no. They haven't gotten over that big hump. Have they won a championship? Hell no.
They've been good. There are a lot of teams when you look from all the way from the top to the bottom. That have been horrific. The Ravens have not been that. And so yes, the expectations are high to get over the hump.
But when you're good...
Okay, and when you have expectations and you're in a vacuum. It's tough to just go, let's fire this guy, fire that guy. It's not too long, J.R. Allow me to finish. Go ahead, my bad.
Go ahead. I apologize. It's not. That It's simple. There's a thin line between being a dumbass organization and being a patient one.
If y'all are gonna be crap. There's not a damn thing that's gonna change between now and January 7th, 8th, 9, and 10th. That's gonna make a difference. What you don't wanna do is start rocking the Apple cart. Just because you feel or the fan base feels things are stale.
That's just an organizational standpoint. I mean, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it all depends on the talent that you have on the team. People want to get rid of Mike Tomlin.
Okay, they want to get rid of him for years.
Okay, look, the Steelers, do I think they're winning the Super Bowl? No. Do I think they'll go to the postseason? Yes. And if they end up losing, you're going to have a lot of people in western Pennsylvania.
We're going to be screaming from left to right about how we need to get rid of Tomlin and we need a young quarterback with Rod. Everybody knows this, we all know this. When Tomlin won, you know what he had? He had a great defense. He had a quarterback, a guy who stood there and took every hit.
You watched him get his ass beat by the Ravens, but he stood there and he took the beating. There's a process. Don't rush things if they're going to suck. You let this guy suck and you let it stink and then you move him. But to do it right now, Just be patient.
Sometimes you just gotta take it now. I mean, I get you, though. I just, you know, I'm for the people, man. You know, I'm a super fan, J.R. My bad.
I'm just for the people. And I've been a John Harbaugh fan, but I just, I don't know. Maybe it's his post-games. And I just look at the players' body language. I just feel like they don't want to play for him no more.
Like I said, I might be wrong, but I do agree with you. Like, just let them play out the season. I mean, maybe I'm confused because you don't want to be a. You want to know some teams across the country. That are jokes, and sometimes, and a lot of people, you can fall into success for a stretch of time.
Okay, the Cincinnati Bengals ended up with Joe Burrow, and it's like, oh my God, they're in the Super Bowl. God bless them that they have him. And he's been hurt and busted up. God bless them. The Bengals historically as a franchise have been a joke.
The Tennessee Titans, as it stands right now, are a joke. The New York Knicks, I mean, this is a team that almost went to an NBA Finals. The most success that they've had in 25 years, they fire the coach because the bench was ass, and they make up an excuse and they fire him. The Knicks have been a joke. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim with Artie Moreno, they've been a joke.
The Oakland, they're teams that are horrific here. And I get it, it's easy, and thank you, Trippy, for calling from Baltimore. It's easy as fans. to really get sucked into your team. But sometimes you gotta really look outside the box and understand reality.
It ain't easy to win. It's not. It's not It's not. And so just because your team ain't winning Like the New York Yankees, everybody wants to blame Aaron Boone. Why?
Because he made this decision. He's bad and bad. Maybe the roster he has ain't all that good.
Okay?
Okay, maybe some guy named Grisham who all of a sudden has a career year and he's blasting home runs all over the place. Oh yeah, and now he sucks in the postseason. Wh what are you gonna blame Aaron Boone then? You can always take a look at the decisions made by the manager and the coach and blame him.
Sometimes all you gotta do is look at the roster.
Sometimes all you have to do is look at the owner. Who's spending? Who knows how to stay out the way? Who knows how to put people in? Like, this is what it is.
Come on, we got Jerry Jones. How about this?
Now, Jerry Jones, he did not want to speak. for like the first time in forever. And so what he's gonna do, all of a sudden become mute? I get it. The Ravens are 1-5.
You expected them to be 5-1. You expected them to compete for a championship. You're looking at Mark Andrews dropping a pass last year in Buffalo and going, oh my God, and now we've got to start over. Yeah, join a club.
Well, we got Buffalo Bills fans. That can go back to when they went to four straight Super Bowls and lost. Like come on, you don't win them all Sometimes you don't even get there. It's tough. 888-710-4ISN.
And when you start firing guys and doing this, you look like the dumbass Tennessee Titans. Come on. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N eight eight eight seven ten for ISN. Dan is calling from Northern California. You're on the JR Sport Re Show.
What's up, Dan? Hey, JR, really respect. your intelligence in in the area of the NFL? Other areas of sports. I'm a forty-niners and And Sunday was rough.
Well As you know, we lost Fred Warner. Can you give me a player wrong? Can you give him a turn? What you think, sick? Nick Boss is off out for the season, and Warner's out for the season.
Which one should we spend the money replace? I don't think we can for this season, I mean. I don't think we could afford to replace both of them with a high end player. What do you think? I don't know how you replace either one of them throughout the season.
And I think when you think about Nick Bosa. What is what is this, ACL tear number four throughout his life? I don't, you know, like, what are you doing with him? It's probably best to. To call him a spade.
And then when you think about Warner, he's one of the best coverage linebackers in the entire game. I hate to tell you this. The 49ers took a risk. And this is how the game goes. They said we're going to give Brock Purdy all this money.
We're going to go young on our defense. We're going to go young overall so we can spread this money out. And now they gotta pay for it because they don't have the same type of depth. They spent all these years with the veterans trying to get to that Super Bowl, trying to win the Super Bowl. And it didn't happen.
And so they're paying for it. And so, look, I'm shocked that they're 4-2.
Okay, I don't know the deal with Brock Purdy's foot. I don't have high hopes for the 49ers as the season continues on. Are they going to be competing for a Super Bowl? The answer is no. Maybe they get in as a wild card.
But even in their own division, I mean, Seattle is performing well. There's just too much. going on. I don't feel good about the Niners, do you? Uh no Seattle's actually formed too.
And the Rams are four and two, and I think they're both better teams right now with The injuries That the Niners have. They've lost George Kittle for maybe another game or two, also. Yeah, and this is opening up the seams. Bosa, Warner, Kittle, Pearsall, and Purdy, Mac Jones, the backup QB. is running around on one leg.
So what are we what are we doing here?
Well, I I hate to say it, but since you're Yeah. I'm a I'm a good fan. I've been a fan since nineteen seventy of the Niners. Wow. And I hate to say it, but I think they might be going the way of Baltimore as you just kind of alluded to.
I mean, They can't keep this up. I mean It was done a little bit with smoke and mirrors to get the four and twos. I think Pampa Bay totally exposed them on Sunday afternoon. back there, but I don't know. It looks like they're going to have an easy schedule, so people were putting them in at ten and seven or eleven and six and when in their division.
Well Sorry to say the NFL Changes quickly. And the Rams Rams are better than people thought they'd be this year. Seattle's better.
So they got two challengers in their own division. And then they play the NSB south. And the AFC south And you know, there's things like the Indianapolis Cold Dan, we gotta put. We don't gotta run how how much ass they're gonna be the rest of the way. Dan Put a fork in a nine as they're done.
And hopefully, Christian McCaffrey, his legs last the whole season. He's getting a lot of work.
Okay, Dan? He's a great guy. Yeah, he is, when he's healthy. Hey, Dan, good luck, okay?
Okay, thank you, sir. And shout outs to Dan for calling from Northern California. Yeah, when it's done, it's done. 49ers are done, folks. I mean, come on.
They can't sustain all these injuries.
Sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles. The JR Sport Brief Show here with you, Coast to Coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. The 49ers are done. We come back on the other side of the break. I'm going to tell you about, well.

As it stands right now, the Dodgers still lead the Brewers. Two to one. They're in the fifth inning. This is the same score that we had last night, although it was the final. Yamamoto has pitched four innings with four strikeouts.
Peralta, five innings, four strikeouts. Peralta at this point has already thrown 83 pitches.
So he's going deep. I was giving him four or five. He's already gone a little bit longer than I expected, so let's see if he can hang things on. And meanwhile, Yamamoto It looks like he may go deep. He only has 47 pitches, a little bit less stress.
Than what Peralta is doing. Marco Belletti will be here in a few minutes to give you an update. 888-710-4ISN is the number. That's 888-710-4ISN. Man, we had a lot of callers trying to give coaches the boot.
Trying to finish guys off. People want to get hard by the helipon out of Baltimore. And like, ah, the team is stale. We got to move on. I'm like, give it.
Give it some time. Just at least go through the season. It just doesn't look good. from an organizational standpoint, unless you got a complete Just Just a disaster of an organization. Things are horrific in the locker room with the coaches and the players.
You don't pull the rug under a guy who's had the success that he's had. It's just. not a good Look. But nothing lasts forever. We certainly see what took place with Bill Belichick up in Boston with the Patriots.
And uh, you know, sometimes when it's time to go, It's time to go. And speaking of time to go, there's quite a few things, people and places that are going to be moving on. Ironically, there have been so many conversations around Igana Satetakumpo. whether or not he wants to be in Milwaukee. He says he wants to stay in Milwaukee now, but he's a human.
He's he's apt and prone to change his mind. And then we even got a A quote from Giannis That At the end of his career, He doesn't want to finish in the NBA. Giannis is 30 years old right now.
Okay, he's going to be thirty one on December sixth. Giannis just said. I want to finish my career in Greece After I'm done, In the NBA.
Okay, he's currently in his 13th season of what's getting ready to start next week. and he says quote I'm thirty years old. I can play in the NBA until I am thirty six, thirty eight. I'd like to end my career. In a Greek team.
Why not?
Okay, I don't want to live in the United States. As soon as I leave the NBA, I want to return to Greece. I could end my career here. Whether it is Philonthenaikos, Olympiakos, Panathenaikos, or Aries, I'm talking about all the teams now. What's what's the big deal?
Like the guy wants to go home. Not everybody wants to play until they're you know, forty and forty-five like LeBron James. In the NBA, Giannis is not even from America, so I don't blame him. What is he supposed to do? Just stay in Milwaukee?
His whole damn life? The guy's making all the damn money He's probably going to finish his career with, I don't know, what, a half billion dollars in earnings, maybe more than that. You gotta pay taxes for that here in America. And then you can go home. I mean, there's apparently even reports that his wife, his young wife, his young kids.
are already in Greece. It's a report. Who knows? Not everybody's going to play forever. He's not American.
You might be out here busting ass. But this guy has made it very clear over the years how he feels about about Greece. Listen to what he had to say about playing for for Greece in the Olympics. Being able to qualify to the Olympics after 16 years, you know, that was awesome. I think the experience in the Olympics was one of the best experience that I've had as a basketball player, probably that and the championship.
It was one of the most amazing experiences being in Paris, you know, going through the open ceremony. and being the flag bearer for your country, you know being the first black you know, flag bear for a My country that was also awesome seeing my mom and my family coming out there to support me and just feel. Feeling all the Olympic. spirit, you know, the spirit that all the athletes are talking about that have participated in the Olympics before. Yeah, I mean, he's he's from Greece.
What do you want? He's from Nigeria via Greece. He knows about Greece. He grew up on the streets of Greece. He's peddling goods.
In the streets of Greece. He was founded playing basketball, encouraged to play basketball in Greece. He got drafted by the Bucs. He's been one of the best NBA players to ever step out onto a court. Much to do about nothing.
So at least now you know, and this is maybe not the case. You got about This still sounds crazy. You got about six to ten years left of Yannis Terakumpo in the NBA. All right. And then if he finishes in Greece, I don't know, was he just gonna be busting ass out there?
Giannis is an interesting player. This game is built off of strength, athleticism. Pure willpower, his ability to to handle the basketball. He's not the most skilled. And so it's going to be very interesting to see how his his game ages.
especially given the fact that he's not the most consistent shooter. Uh Bacha n this ain't no big deal. He wants to go back home. Plenty of people want to go back home. Yeah, also if he's not going to be efficient in the NBA at the end of his career, why not play in Europe?
There you go. Playing at an elite level at the NBA. It's just, you see this a couple other times where, like, Marcus. Went to Spain to play to finish his career. It just, it happens.
It tons. And you got guys who have to go earlier. I mean, shout outs to my guy, Sergi Baca. Sergei Baker was a freak athlete at the power forward position. could knock down a jumper.
But couldn't move as well and couldn't extend his range, and the next thing you know, he's. He's over here in the NBA Finals and he's out of the league. It's The NBA has changed. There was just a post that I saw from the Houston Rockets. They put out their big lineup.
Like everybody on the court was 6'11, or this is about 6'11, except for Amen Thompson, who's 6'7. That's the smallest guy. on the court. And so the league has changed. You can you shoot, can you move?
Can you dribble a little bit? Like having a team with just a bunch of six eleven freaks is just, uh It's crazy out there.
So yeah, who who knows? I don't know. At the end of Giannis' career, what is he going to be? Gonna be Marcus Canby? Oh no.
Marcus can be shooting threes. I mean, we even had Shea Gilgis Alexander. He pretty much also said he doesn't want to play into his 40s. Not everybody's going to be LeBron. She Gilgis Alexander quoted in G Q as Hey, can I play a long time?
I definitely can. I won't, though. I won't want to miss that much of my kids' life. There's a certain point in your career where you reach your peak. And I don't fault guys for still playing.
They love the game. But I just feel like I play this game ultimately to see what the best version of me can be. Once I figure that out and I start going down, then it's like, okay, what am I playing for now? And as soon as that happens, I'll be on the first ship. Out.
I don't blame him. These guys are making. 60 and 70 And I don't know, is Victor Wembanyama gonna be making s eighty million dollars in a year? Like, can I blame any of these young dudes for going? What do I need to play 20 years for?
I'm getting this cash and I'm cashing out. I don't I don't I don't knock any of 'em, so hey, good luck to Giannis. At the end of his career, we don't know where he's going to end up. In February, let alone at the end of the season. Good luck to him.
And then Shagilgas Alexander, these are two dudes already. who have championships. As the NBA gets ready to move on, uh to a new era. Uh speaking of a new era, Joe Missoula, who's always been Uh weird coach number one. Just super intense.
Incense is the best word. Very unique. You know, typically, in a lot of cases, a lot of these teams. just to have camaraderie and build a good relationship. They hold media games.
Like they'll let the media. Who covers the team all year long? Just have a game just before the season starts early in the season, just to have fun and say, hey, you know, you asked the tough questions, but we want to have a relationship with you guys. Here's something for you.
Well the Boston Celtics today planned a media game, media versus media. And in Joe Missoula, coach Captain Intensity, whatever the hell he is. He stood in front of the media and he told everybody He's like, y'all aren't gonna play each other. You're going to play us, the coaches. Listen to this.
Uh No, but I don't want to bring it to you, but you're not playing against each other, you're playing against the coaches. Yeah, the the coaches on the Boston Celtics staff are former NBA players. We got God Sham God who's basically a street ball legend. We got Phil Pressy, who played in the NBA as well. They got a whole bunch of other guys who played in college and played in the league as their.
They're they're coaches on the squad. Bacha was the. Did I read this right? The score was 57 to 4. Yes.
And it wasn't it was only a 12 minute game.
So Excuse me? They played 12 minutes. They played 12 minutes and the the coaches for the Celtics Beat the media fifty-seven to four. Yeah. So, what is that?
Three after three after three after three after three? Yes. Probably a dunk here and there. Reportedly, some of the media who cover the Boston Celtics are guys who. Played in college, okay, but I guess.
Not like the Celtics. Uh, you know, prose. That's just. Why is Joe Missoula just. He likes to punish people?
Is this what this is? It was funny. I think because they got to play the media versus media after.
So it's like. Hey, let's see how you can actually play against people who actually coach and know what they're doing. And then they'd beat them by 53. And then they guys would be like, Yeah, go have your fun. Yeah, Joe Missoula is the guy who uh You know, he makes he makes his own players watch MMA fights to inspire them.
I mean, the only thing missing, I guess, from the media versus the coaches game was Just just let's put a ring of fire around the basketball court. and and see what these media schmucks can do. And then uh You had guys like Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown, the entire team. They were sitting around watching the the media get annihilated, so I don't know. Maybe we'll get a question from one of the media members in the season, and Jalen Brown will be like, Well, I remember watching your jump shot.
You suck. That's a rough one. Hey, Marco Belletti, you want to see more of these games? They should broadcast them next time, huh? Yeah, let's embarrass them even further.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I'm not a big fan of this, I gotta be fair. That's a tough one. Why w why not? Joe Missoula's a sicko, but w why are you not in favor?
Look, the whole point of this is to have some fun and not to embarrass people to try to put them in their place of the idea that they know that they can't. Question or be on the same level. I think that's what he was doing. Yeah, I think I 100% think that's what they were doing. That was taking out frustration because they're tired of answer questions from people that they feel like are inferior.
And they're right, they are inferior when you play the sport, but that has nothing to do with what this is. And I feel like that was a way to get back at them because the whole point of this thing was to have some fun. And it's not fun. Anybody that gets their head kicked in in any sporting event, none of that's fun.
Okay, there's never at any point. Have you ever played in a game where you were completely lopsided and you knew that this was no, you were no match? Did you have fun? No. So, next year, instead of having the coaches, why don't they just put Tatum and Brown out there if they're healthy?
Why not?
What the hell's the difference? Why not?
Yeah, right. Look, it's the same concept. And I'm sure that there were some smiles with it. But it smiles with a purpose. I don't believe that any of this was.
All in good fun. There is no all-in-good fun when I kick your ass for the next hour. I'm sorry, it just doesn't work like that. Here's a better question: Have you ever seen Joe Mazzullah smile? I don't think so, no.
There you go. When they won the championship, did this man smile? No, not really, no. They had a parade. Did he smile?
No, I don't think he did. Yeah. This man has a, I've seen photos. He has a beautiful wife, he has beautiful kids. Mm.
Maybe he goes home, he smiles. Right? He has to. It's possible. It's possible he doesn't.
Is this an act? Is this a charade? Is he Belichick Jr.? Like, what are we doing? Nah, no, no, no.
He's a singer. That's him. That's him. Which, again, that's why, like, I'm sorry. Maybe if it's coming from somebody else.
If it's coming from a guy that's almost like tongue-in-cheek, like, if this was, I mean, we'd never do it in football. If this was like Andy Reid, you would know that there's nothing behind it because he's just kind of messing with you. Joe Missoula, I feel like there's no line, man. Like, he's he's sending a message, he's proving a point. He's nuts.
A little bit. He's insane. I wonder how long he's going to last if this team is. He's either going to be there forever or he's just going to drive people nuts. One of the two.
One or the other. But I don't know if he doesn't strike me as a guy. Like. You always have to teeter the line of burnout when you're this intense. He doesn't strike me as a guy that's in that regard, though, because I think he's a lifer.
I think he doesn't know what to do with himself if he's not competing. Yeah, well, it it may not be with the Celtics. I don't know. That's a different story. Yeah.
Look, he's like Joe Girardi times a million.
So We'll see how this works out with uh Joe Missoula.
Next year, he'll bring in Tigers to uh you know, scare the media. I I I have no idea.
Well Gotta get it in when you can. The JR Sport Re Show here on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break when we come back.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. A Max Muncie home run. makes it three to one. Dodgers over the Brewers here, In the sixth inning. If the Dodgers hold on and win, they advance.
Well, they got two more games, they go to Los Angeles. with a 2-0 Series lead. Look at me tryin' to hit the fast forward button.
Sorry. My bad. Plenty of time for the Brewers to get a victory. People pissed at me in Milwaukee. I don't need that.
Anyway, it's the end of the show. You know what that means? It's time for us to take a look at a few things that took place this day in 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. On the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass.
It is October 14th, 2025. If we go back to October 14th, 1973. Willie Mays was 42 years old.
Okay, he got his last major league baseball career hit. It was in the World Series. The Mets beat the A's. They didn't beat him in the World Series. They lost in seven games.
But ultimately. After 24 all-star appearances, being rookie of the year, 660 home runs. It was over. For Willie Mays even fell in the sun and then That iconic photo of him falling down, it's like, damn it, one of the greatest of all time. He's done.
Uh listen to Willie Mays with his farewell to the fans at Shea Stadium. With my farewell tonight. you would understand what I'm going through right now.
Something that I never felt that I would ever quit baseball. But as you know, it always come a time for someone to get out. And I look after kids over here. The way they are planned. And the way they'll find for themselves Tells me one thing.
One minute. Say goodbye to America. Thank you very much. Yeah, shout outs to Willie Mays, God rest his soul. I mean, about a decade ago, he got the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He got everything october 14th 1979 some guy named wayne gretzky Well This was goal number one out of 894. Listen to this. Then with Smeal off, the Oilers pulled Dryden, and Wayne Gretzky finished off a three-way passing play with McDonald and Calligan to tie the screen. Forward for it. Bretzki on the backhand with the Rollers tied for the second time tonight.
Yeah, Wayne Gretzky playing for Edmonton at that time. Who's taking on the Canucks? They ended up in a 4-4 tie. But Wayne Gretzky, he had goal. Number one, we know a vetchkin passed him last year.
October 14th, 1990, Joe Montana, he passed for a career high, 476 yards, threw for six touchdowns. And Jerry Rice, he's like, I got this too. Five PDs. The 49ers, they beat the Falcons 45 to 35. They lit them up.
Listen to this. Second and goal by 15. What's coming again? Weiss goes to the corner, wide open touchdown, his fifth. And that ties an NFL record.
Held by Kellen Winslow when he caught five touchdowns. From my partner, Dan Fouce.
Well, and let's include Bob Shaw in this and now Jerry Rice. I guess this was a day in NFL history for people to light other people up. October 14, 2007, Tom Brady lighting them up. 388 yards, a career-high five touchdowns. The Patriots beat up on Dallas 48-27.
Listen to Tom Brady. This touchdown mark. He had three in each of the first six games. Of course it was Tom Brady. Listen.
Didn't blink it. Nor is Brady as he hits stalwarts in stride. And he stiff arms his way free. He's going to take it in for a touchdown. Sixty nine yards.
And that's not all. Aaron Rodgers did the same damn thing almost in 2012. He went out there and threw six touchdown passes. Three to Jordy Nelson. and the Packers beat the Texans forty two.
to twenty four. Listen to this. Second and 11, and Rogers will throw. Is it one-handed? Yes, for a touchdown by Jones.
James Jones has now scored two touchdowns. Each of the last three games. 18 yards, Rogers throws touchdown pass number six. Again, just the off-inside man-to-man coverage that if you're going to try to pressure the quarterback, you have to do. And James Jones, Jordy Nelson.
have just won the battle with Tremendous catches just like that. Yeah, I mean... The legends, right? For whatever reason, they all did amazing things on the same damn day. The years apart, of course, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Joe Montana's Tom Brady's idol, and an Aaron Rodgers who's in his own world.
And he's doing good this year. God bless him. We don't hear from him. Let's try to keep it that way. And there you have it, folks.
A few things that took place this day. in sports history. Speaking of all those uh quarterback legends. There's a young man running around with a legendary name that is Arch Manning. I had mentioned this earlier in the show.
He was asked about being, quote-unquote, labeled a failure. You know, not living up to the billings so far with the Texas Longhorns, even though to this point he's thrown 12 touchdowns to five interceptions. Yes, we know that they took that L to open up the season against the Ohio State, but I think he had a great showing by not turning the ball over and helping them score as they just beat another great defense in the Sooners. Here, listen to Arch Manning talk about people who say he's a failure. I feel like I try to do my best of blocking out the noise and then you get 100 text messages, keep blocking out the noise.
Like, there must be a lot of noise. Yeah, I try my best. Were you aware that someone were calling you one of the biggest blocks in college football? deal with that. Yeah, I didn't know that.
I guess I do now. No, um I mean, look, I wasn't playing well and I I am I'm gonna continue to get better but you know everyone has their own opinion and You know, that's That's what's good about America.
So you get the freedom of speech, so Um it doesn't bother me. What does it do for you when a guy like Michael comes out and says, what are they going to say about you now, QB1, on IG? Like, how does that kind of help you out? Yeah, I didn't see that either. I think it's it's important to not um Like we we won a game Yeah, but you know.
There's a lot of work to do. And I think Michael's a really good leader. He's a the leader of this team. But, you know, you can't ride the highs and lows. You gotta stay even and uh And keep going.
He's like, My last name is Manning. You think I care about what peonce say about me? I'm still going to the NFL. Y'all can kiss my ass.
Okay. Where's that guy who called a couple weeks ago? A couple months ago, it's just like, hey, JR, you know, he's only here because his last name is Manning. He's not that good. Where's that guy at?
I don't know. Anyway, the Dodgers, we know they're good. They lead the Brewers 3-1. We'll have an update on that tomorrow for you. If you've missed a minute or a second of the show, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app.
