I'm in Atlanta. Thank you to our producer in New York City, Ryan Botcher. Thank you to everybody tuned in all over North America. It's Friday. It's the weekend.
That means we have football tomorrow in college. We got college basketball season underway. We got the NBA going on. We got the NHL going on. The World Series just ended.
It's a great time. to be a sports fan. And we've discussed a lot. Over the past several hours. I get started at 6 p.m.
Eastern 3 Pacific. You can always listen on the Free Odyssey app. Your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate, SiriusXM Channel 375, and a smart speaker, Be Smart, Ask It to Play. the Infiniti Sports Network. We talked about the fact that Jaden Daniels Well He he doesn't need surgery.
That's great. We just heard from Draymond Green apologize for calling Dak Prescott a bum. Great. We talked about the Denver Broncos win. Over the Raiders yesterday.
Even had Brandon Christal come through and join us. He covers all things Broncos to talk about whether or not the Broncos are really contenders. or whether they are pretenders. They got an eight and two record, a seven game winning streak, but so many of their games are just Oh, so close Got the 49ers and Rams going after it in the NFC West matchup. Talked about the Chargers.
The Chargers are going to host the Steelers. On Sunday night football we talked about the game in Berlin between the Falcons and the Colts. There's so much going on, and we got more to come. At the end of the show we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. It's a day, and it's been this way all day.
It is November seventh. twenty twenty five.
Now we got more to get into. You know, Draymond Green wants Dak to Well, he doesn't think he's gonna win, but he'd welcome him with open arms. Uh to the Steelers. We have we've had a couple of people that have been given uh the boot.
Well, Mark Sanchez got the boot from his uh broadcasting job. And then we got another guy. How the heck is. Luke Fickle's still having a job. I don't know.
It's some of these things that you uh Y you just can't make up. Anyway, if you want to call me, I know it's Friday. If you haven't spoken to anybody all day, you can talk to me, you can listen to me. Here's a phone number, eight eight eight seven ten four I SN. That's eight eight eight seven ten.
For ISN. You can find me online. I exist on the internet. I am at JR Sport Brief, at JR Sport Brief, all over the place. on social media.
Thank you to our producer, New York City, Ryan Botcher. You know, we talked about a lot. Let's go around the world on.
Some of the uh Some of the largest stories. This is good news, if you're a Commanders fan, I guess. I mean, they got a record of three and six right now. I know this season's going nowhere. You gotta A quarterback whose arm bent the wrong way against the Seahawks earlier this week.
But despite all of that, Um apparently Jaden Daniels is not going to need surgery on that busted up elbow. Listen to what Dan Quinn had to say about Jaden Daniels. Yeah, I thought it was a good process to go through like all the players do, get second opinions and getting all the information of what to do and how to do it. I thought they guys nailed that. Dr.
Nunziata ran a point on that, but consulting all the people, and Jaden was involved with that as well.
So it's a good deal with no surgery. Obviously, that makes a big difference. We have an injury not to have to go down that road. I hope to give you guys an update after the bye week about where he is and you know where we go from there. But after that, I'll give you an update on what.
where it's at and gives a couple weeks to get to that space. Oh How sweet of him? Yeah, Dan Quinn sounds like a sweet football coach. What a nice guy, right?
Well,. He doesn't have to worry about his quarterback getting cut open. It's pretty much his fault that he was out there to still be annihilated. Moving forward, if we take a look at the NFC West, we have the 49ers. Who they still got uh Mac Jones out there.
Brock Purdy still dealing with that turf toe, getting ready to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Matthew Stafford leads the NFL with 21%. Touchdown passes. And so there's a lot of questions about Brock Purdy. When is he coming back?
Is he close to coming back? And I told you that Dan Quinn sounds like the the warm, kind coach.
Well, Kyle Shanahan, he's the complete opposite. Hey, Kyle, is is Brock Purdy close to coming back? Yeah, it'll be Mac again starting. I haven't decided whether to make him active or not, but he's further along this week than last week. No, just okay, all right, Mac is Mac Jones is gonna be starting again, okay.
Tell me how you really feel.
Now, God bless the 49ers. They got a record of 6-3. I don't know how they're doing this. All the injuries. Surprise Christian McCaffrey's body is not on football life support right now.
With all the injuries that they've had to deal with. And Mac Jones is running around with that big old brace on his leg.
So looking forward to seeing the Rams and the 49ers get after it. This weekend as well. And of course, we talked about this. The Sunday morning matchup, nine thirty Eastern, six thirty Pacific, is going to take place in Berlin, Germany between the Indianapolis Colts and the bipolar. Atlanta.
Falcons Okay, this is going to be very interesting. Raheem Morris, the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. A lot of Falcons fans want to get him the helip on out of Atlanta. They want him.
Well, they want him out of here. They may want to leave him in Germany. He's happy to be there. Let's put it that way. You know, it's just an honor to be able to come out here and play.
I think it's the first time in, you know, 10 years since the NFL has been able to come back over to Germany and actually be a part of it, but the history that's here and with Jesse Owens and everything that went on and all the great stuff that's happened within that stadium and playing in an Olympic-like stadium. And it's just an honor for all of us and our whole team. And we're honored to be able to go out there and play with these guys and be able to do some really good things for you guys and play well. Oh wow. Yeah, NFL going international.
They're going to keep going international. We talked about it earlier in the show. Great, great idea. The NFL is already making twenty billion dollars a year. I mean the rest of the world is not going to fully embrace or incorporate, you know, American football into their Their appetite or into their diet with already having traditional football or soccer, but being able to introduce flag football or utilize American football to introduce flag football, that is something that the NFL could definitely monetize all over the world.
If it can get picked up. And you know, speaking of all over the world, how the hell did we get here? I just told you the World Series is done. There is another Japanese player Coming to the United States of America. And no, it's not Shaw Hiltani's little brother.
We don't got another guy coming over to hit and pitch. But this guy, what does he do? He just hits. And he just mashes, and you never know how players translate coming over to the big leagues, but Munetaka Murakami. is the next big dude from Japan coming over to the United States.
And uh big dude Yes, this guy is known as a prolific home run hitter. He actually has the most home runs in the na of the Nippon Professional Baseball League. This man swatted fifty six home runs in twenty twenty two. I want you to take a listen to this. This is CBS Sports HQ talking about the next guy that the Dodgers can just pretty much add to the damn roster.
Yeah. Big news coming from the world of baseball. Japanese slugger Munataka Murakami is posted today. That's per multiple reports. That will open up a 45-day window for major league clubs to negotiate with Murakami and his Japanese club.
The 25-year-old corner infielder is considered one of the most significant bats to come over from Japan in recent years. In 2022, he set the NPB single season record for Japanese-born players with 56 home runs, breaking the record set by the great Sadaharu Oh back in 1964. He's twenty-five years old. The guy's coming to the United States of America in his prime. Come on, man.
Bacha, have you seen him play like in a World Baseball Classic or anything at all? I think I watched him a little bit. The best comparison I would say. is Prime Miguel Sono. Uh so high chance to hit 30, 40 bombs.
but he does strike out a lot. and his contact rate is the only issue that's holding him back. But it's hard to translate it.
Well, it sounds like a lot of major league baseball players, anyway. These guys out here just. swingin' and missin' at the world. Um Yeah, I mean, is he going to come to America and and hit 50 bombs? I I doubt it.
Uh yeah, you probably put him in that that twenty-five to You know, like you said, 30 range. I remember when Hideki Matsui came over, he was a prolific. Home run hitterin for the New York Yankees, I think. In the season, maybe he maxed out at what, like 25. I looked at him as like a 20-25 home run hitter if he got there.
Uh Good. Good. I don't know. Maybe he'll end up when he plays third base. He can play first base.
He's 25 years old. I know it's a common joke to just go, Oh, yeah, let's see if the Dodgers at 'em. Botcha, the Dodgers not. And they got Freddy Freeman and Muncie on the other side, right? If they didn't just pick up Muncie's option.
I would have said, yeah, he'd be a great option for the Dodgers. Will uh The thing is, I think teams will actually make real contract offers for him. It was easy for Roki Sasaka to come over just because it was international money and the Dodgers had the most cash. Yeah, cheap. It was just.
Yeah, it Realistically speaking. The Dodgers what they want to spend. They could get him. Yeah. But what are you going to play him?
Okay. Exactly. You could you can't DH him, of course, because you have Otani's. Freddie Freeman is still there, you know? Unless you want to rotate Max Muncie every now and then, there's no point in having him.
Yeah, he he'll go, I don't know. He'll he'll end up somewhere. I don't know. Maybe he'll he's either going to stay on the west coast You're gonna end up in Chicago.
Well, yeah, I don't know. Outside of that, he just fill in the blanks. I don't know. I'll be the big markets. New York, Chicago.
Or anywhere in California. Oh, we're Se Seattle, right? Yeah, west west coast. New York or Chicago. That's that's the Biggest.
There's no guarantee that Eugenio is going to stay in Seattle.
So. You know, if they want to pick up a bat and probably have it at the cheap, I mean, we know what EU Henio can go out there and do, but. And then we know that Japan is, that's why I say West Coast. Anywhere but the angels, bruh, okay? Anywhere but the Angels and you'll be A-O-K.
Just don't. Don't go to the Angels. That would be a. That'll be a pathetic start. to your career.
So just the Dodgers out here just finding new guys That they could potentially just steal. It's an ongoing joke.
So at least he's coming to America to get a job. Good for him. That's what people do. They come to America. That's a good work.
Yeah. Okay. Eight eight eight seven ten four I S N That's eight at eight seven ten four IS. And speaking of work, there's a guy who just lost work. Yesterday we talked about Antonio Brown.
Well I mean, he walked off the field. He just quit his job a couple years ago. Yesterday he was extradited back to the United States of America from Dubai. To face attempted murder charges down in Miami following a celebrity boxing match. I don't know celebrity, I use that word loosely.
Uh but the fact of the matter is we got another guy who has been in trouble. His name is Mark Sanchez. I can now say this, Mark Sinch has used To work for Fox. That is no longer the case after his incident in Indianapolis. Take a listen to this WTHR report.
About Mark Sanchez, the Jets didn't want him and now Fox doesn't either. And we have some news just in. Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is officially done at Fox Sports. We're getting this news. This is according to The Athletic.
And all of this follows the late night Indianapolis stabbing that we've been reporting on. And this is the stabbing that police allege Sanchez was involved in that put a 69-year-old in the hospital.
Now, currently, Mark Sanchez is facing charges of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, battery resulting in bodily injury, an unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication. Again, we have just learned that Mark Sanchez is out at Fox. We also know that he is being sued by the victim, the 69-year-old stabbing victim, as that investigation continues. Ibacha, did you hear that? Don't do any of the stuff that Mark Sanchez did.
Uh, don't be drunk and disorderly. and don't start fights and don't get stabbed and don't do that. It don't stab old people, either. Yeah, don't do that. Damn Da damn, man.
If you would have told if you would have told me That one day I would uh tell you a a story or fill in two stories. One about how Antonio Brown is facing murder charges. And the next sentence that would be, you know, Mark Sanchez is also in in legal trouble for beating up an old man allegedly. I'd have to go, what? What?
What? Am I am I in the Twilight Zone? I mean, in what world would I ever have Mark Sanchez and Antonio Brown in the same damn space? But here we are, it's 2025. And you know, Bacha, last night we talked about the moon and how bright it was, how gigantic it was, it was red and all of this stuff.
Here it is. A slightly less bright I don't know what you call it. It's not a full moon. Whatever it is. Like one-eighth of it is obstructed.
You're smart, man. What the hell is that called? Waxing Crescent? Is that one of them? At that's a that's a phase of the moon.
A waxing crescent and then there's like a The something, something. I'll get Google it. This is why you don't like to go outside, but you know the phases of the moon. I didn't like fall asleep in class. I just yeah, they taught you this in earth science, I think.
You tho you think they taught me this in school? Maybe. I don't know. You are closer to being in school than I am. Look, you got a full moon.
You got a half moon. You got a crescent moon. It's a waning gibbous. It's actually a waiting. What side of the moon is covered, the right or the left?
Excuse it's the the right the top right corner. Top right corner, so it's a waning gibbous. Is that named after a guy? Probably. I'm assuming.
Gibbons. Or Weening, one of the two.
Some guy named Gibbons who looked at out the clouds and looked at the sky late at night, and they named it after him.
Okay. Well, he named it after himself. Good for him. Alright, yeah.
Well, this moon is out, so maybe that's why, uh We got all this wild stuff going on. Antonio Brown. Mark Sanchez losing his job. And then how about How the how the heck does Luke Fickles still have a job? like that part I cannot understand.
Like this guy st Wisconsin is two and six. I guess they don't want to pay. You know, the buyout for him, I think, is about $25 to $30 million. Everybody's getting their buyout, but Luke Fickle is just basically going to keep his job. And I know a lot of people are ticked off in Wisconsin about the fact that he's being kept.
The athletic director, Chris McIntosh, he spoke to the media. And he was basically explaining, like, what he's expecting moving forward. Listen to this loser's mentality. The priority for me is to continue to grow the pro continue to grow the program. in a way that puts us in a position to achieve those expectations.
That comes in many forms. It's not limited to wins and losses. Um You know, there are so many factors that contribute to that, and that's where my priority is. I think Uh just to reiterate I am. excited about where the program can go.
There is a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done. It will not be easy, it will require. All of us, this is why I'm so grateful for the support that Chancellor Mnuchin has given us, the level of alignment that we have right now. Is at a level that I've not experienced here in my time at Wisconsin. It will require our fans and our supporters and our donors to be part of it.
But it's for those reasons that I'm optimistic about our chances. Oh my goodness. We're basically going to throw money at the problem and then. Money is just going to to fix the issue? I don't know about that, man.
I know the fans are not happy about that one. They're not going to be happy either because tomorrow they got to take on Washington. Washington is going to wax. the floor. With Wisconsin.
This is going to be ugly. This is going to be an ugly end. This is one of those divorces. uh that you should probably get to sooner rather than later. 'Cause it's not gonna get better.
You're not gonna get better. You're still going to have to pay the guy. That's probably why they don't want to do it. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Here's a phone number.

I told you we got a couple of NCA players, more than a couple, that have been banned for life. You can betcha behind it was for Betting for gambling. We'll talk about that momentarily.
And in somebody who's just he's gambling with his reputation, Jalen Brown has has kinda become a joke here. in the NBA, I mean, it's just a A bad situation for this former finals MVP. And we'll talk about it all. 888-710-4ISN. Mike is here.
He's calling from Chicago. You're on the JR Sport Reshow, Mike. What's up? J.R., how are you doing, buddy? I'm okay.
What a crazy world, man, we're living in with these players. What the heck's going on? Was it that full moon? Yeah, well, Mark San I don't I don't know what the moon looked like when Mark Sant just fought that old guy, but he got some problems on his hand. Yeah.
Man, I'll tell you what. Anyway, Jay, I want to ask you about I've taught I've called you before to speak to you about the Chicago Bears, but I want to talk more about the league. The whole league by itself. It seems like watered down. Too many games, seasons too long.
Players, there's not, I don't know, there's not as many good players as there was, you know. I mean, there's a lot of good players, don't get me wrong, but it's more. I don't know. It watered down. Does it seem to you like that?
I mean, it's just. No. I don't know. No, I I know that I I don't agree with 17 games. Like, I don't need a 17-game of football.
That much I know. I know that they don't practice as much as they used to just for preservation. Look, the. Players were able to get a collectively bargained where they didn't have to practice as much throughout the course of the season. They don't have to practice as much before the season with training camp, and they don't have as much contact.
And God bless them, they're the ones out there that are Beating the living hell out of everybody, and they're making more money than anybody has.
So, do I think things are watered down? No. I think if we look at the NFL, we've always had some teams that were better than others. We've always had a select group of quarterbacks that were always in a different echelon, upper echelon, beyond the the normal group. And so I think this is just business as usual, man.
You you just don't like this NFL? Is it too much offense or what? No, I like the NFL, but I listen, I'm 64 years old, and I've been watching football. since I was five years old and played played football. till I was in high school.
You know, the thing is that when I watched When I watch games with my dad as a Big Bear fan and watch the way the players played back then, and I know the league has changed, I know it's become all about you know, speed and points And let's not kid ourselves, you know, JR, it's a joke because I know for a fact. This is all how's the NFL making their money? They they don't make their money Filling a stadium with people, their money's made on the revenue, and their money's made in Vegas. And then when they get these guys that are I don't think well n well no. Without me having the numbers directly in front of me.
And we had this conversation with Hannah Van Bibber yesterday. And she is uh a betting expert and is a sports betting editor. For the athletic, I would venture to say every one of the major professional sports and leagues right now, pick the big four here. in the United States of America. The money is made primarily off of television revenue.
That's what I mean me and Bacha talked about this earlier. As I stand here in the studio right now, there's the San Antonio Spurs. And there's the Houston Rockets, okay? They are no more than not even probably 20,000 people max inside this arena. Watching this game.
There might be Half a million, a million, you know, 1.5, 2 million people. Who are streaming this game? Just and maybe even illegally, there may be three more people, three million people on earth, maybe four or five. that are just watching this all over the world. And so the money primarily comes from the Amazons, the ABCs, the ESPNs, the NBCs.
And then the next bucket of money. comes from the gate. Is it going to move towards a place where the leagues have a bigger hand in the gambling pot? Maybe, but as of right now, the money is made. On the television and streaming, and then it's made via what you get at the gate.
in the arena at the stadium. Gambling hasn't gotten there yet for the leagues. Not yet for the yes, for the it's because it's new, it's brand new. Right. Like, if I'm running revenue, and everything's Peacock and Amazon, but that's kind of, you know, like Aaron Rodgers, listen, I don't agree with everything the man says, okay, he's a little bit crazy.
But Aaron Rodgers was saying something the other day about how it's these Thursday night games, how it just used to be Thanksgiving. And that's for all the money and they got their the players. The reason players are is 'cause Yeah, Christmas. They got games on Monday now. I mean, on Saturday.
And, you know, it's just. Yep. It's it's it's crazy. But the league just changed. I I I'm not saying there's not talent.
I mean These players, JR, are gifted, man. They're faster. They're stronger than they ever were. But don't think for a minute they're not using performance-enhancing drugs because I no, no, no, I'm just saying. My best friend went to to Iowa.
Okay, and he was a linebacker 15 years ago. Uh-oh. Uh, I'm telling you, his son I say not I said my friend my friend's son went to Iowa and he Graduated as a Hawkeye fifteen years ago, glued both of his knees out. He was going to be drafted in the second or third round for sure as a middle linebacker. and his best friend was drafted as an offensive tackle and played for the Minnesota Vikings for like twelve years.
And he even said, if you think If you think that there is not performance enhancing drugs, you're kidding yourself. I worked out with weights for 50 years, and I see guys that took juice and H G H and all that, there's a there's a There's a bigger one.
Well, I'm not on the juice, but you got to know when to cycle on and when to cycle off. I mean, that's just. That's right. It is. I didn't say nothing, Mike.
I didn't say anything. I love your brother, man. I think most of the guys are clean. Hey, Mike, thank you for calling from Chicago. Thanks, man.
No problem. Yeah, I think the the good majority. Of players are clean. Is there guys who can get away with it here and there? I do believe so.
But I don't think guys get away with it like that. And we know there's. There's the Wizinator. Bacha, remember the Wizinator? Remember, I told you about the Wizonator?
100%. That's still nasty.
Well excuse me? Oh no, it's the person that watches, right? No, the person that watches is the fake prosthetic, right? That's a thing. No, wait a minute.
The wizenator. Marco Belletti, you're not the expert, right? No? Yo, you're on your own on this. You ain't bringing me in for the Wizenator, okay?
You explain that. You go ahead.
Okay. Bacha, the Wizonator is the prosthetic. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, I know what it is. Yeah, I forgot what they call the guy who watches.
Yeah. The Wizonator, too. No, no, no. That guy's not called the Wizenator. The Wizwatcher.
No, he has another name. I don't know what they But Letty, I was gonna say the guy who watches is the P-Man, but then I forgot that's that. Remember that boxer, Bulletti? P-Man? Yeah, P-Man.
No, I don't remember the boxer than the P-Man. Oh. When and one of the first Hard knocks When uh Mayweather oh, was it a Marquez? I forgot the name. You know how Posada used to pee on his hands to harden his hands, right?
Yeah, most guys that are don't wear batting gloves. Yeah, that's been a trick for a long time. Yeah, but I think yeah, it was Man Juan Juan Manuel Marquez.
Okay. I think he took it a step further. I think Juan Manuel Marquez, when he was training, He would drink his urine, Why? Because it's sterile and he likes the taste. Um Uh I I think you know, obviously there's a he uh you know, there's some medical um you know, something there surrounding it.
Um Sure, sure. Yeah, and So they called him, I remember they Mayweather called him P-Man. Yeah. I got to tell you, I feel like I would remember that story if I had heard it. I don't remember that story.
Juan Manuel Marquez is known for publicly admitting to drinking his own urine as a training regiment before a fight with Floyd Mayweather, junior in two thousand nine. believing it to be a way to replenish lost vitamins. Uh I feel like you could probably hit the pharmacy and Okay. Get those vitamins back? Flintstones, gummies.
Flintstones. There's a lot of ways to get vitamins. You got to pay for those vitamins. I mean, if your body's already producing and releasing them, just put them back, I guess, right? Yeah, I feel like you got paid pretty well.
I mean,. If you need iron, I feel like there's a different way to go get it. A couple million dollars? I mean, he's saving time. Who wants to go to the pharmacy?
Well, now they deliver to the house, right? Yeah. Okay. Warm? Cold?
Did we get into that? I don't know. Did you refrigerate? I'd assume it was warm. I don't know.
Was it on ice? I don't know. Anyway, Bacha, I don't know what the guy who watches the NFL players P. I don't know that guy's name. The the Whizz Watcher.
That's what I'm calling him. Cuck the Wizwatch.
Okay. Alright. All right, I didn't know we'd be here, but here we are. It's the JR Sport Re Show here with you, Coast. It's Friday.

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.
Well, you know what? In order to send those tingles up your spine, It is Friday, november seventh. It is twenty twenty five. Here, let's make everybody's spine tinkle. Let's go back in time to a few things that took place this day in sports history.
Sandbox. 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 the JR Sport Reshow on the Infinity Sports Network.
It's been November 7th all day long. It's the year 2025. If we go back to November 7th, 1991, Magic Johnson. Announced that he tested positive for AIDS. He had the virus, and that he would be retiring.
This is a very different time than where we live. in uh 2025. Listen to this report from TSN. Because of the The HIV virus that I have attained. I will have to retire from the Lakers.
I don't know today. This is not like my life is over because it's not. I'm going to live on. Everything is We're still the same. I can work out.
Um Now, you know, I just be like one of the old timers in a sense. Wow. Yeah, people thought it was a death sentence. People didn't want to touch him or shake his hand. And I mean, here he is.
The guy is almost 70 years old. He's 66. Magic Johnson is, well, he just won a championship as a part owner. Of the Dodgers.
So, God bless him, and we've had a lot of medical advancements. Hopefully, we get some advancements for a lot of other things. But Magic Johnson announced his retirement due to testing positive for AIDS. This was in 1991. November 7th, 1999, Tiger Woods.
He became the first player since Ben Hogan that took place in 1953 to win four straight tournaments. He won the American Express Championship. And listen to Tiger Woods talk about that win at the tournament. Listen. I've had a great season and it's nice to to end it.
This way, and to get a victory, and to beat a great champion like this on a Tough the tough tough day. But it was a great way to end the year and hopefully next year I'll be able to play the same type of golf. Mm-hmm. We'll see about the number of victories, but see if I can just continue to improve. Ah, young Tiger Woods.
Now he's old and I don't need tiger wood suing me. I was gonna say old and perverted, but I I thought it, but I didn't say it. November 7th, 2008. Jerry Sloan. He's the first NBA coach to win 1,000 games with one team.
Because the Utah Jazz went out there and beat the Oklahoma City Thunder at 104-97. Jerry Sloan had a record of 1,596 with the Jazz. He can go ahead and thank some guys named Stockton and Malone. Gordon Hayward, who played with the jazz under Jerry Sloan, he actually talked about how Darren Williams drove this guy crazy. Shoutouts to point guard Darren Williams.
Enough that Jerry Sloan said, you know what, I'm done with this crap. Coach Sloan had been there for 27 years. D. Will was our all-star point guard, face of the franchise. Both gone within a week.
We were playing Chicago at home.
Something happened in the first half, and I don't remember what exactly happened in the first half, but it set off Coach Sloan.
So we were losing at halftime, and we come in during halftime. Normally, he comes in and he says something a little bit to the team before meeting with the coaches and coming back. And he just stormed right through the locker room. Then D. Will came storming through the locker room right after him and followed him.
Around the corner. And they went around the corner, but you could still hear like the yelling them back and forth. Then Coach Sloan came out and walked straight back onto the court. Didn't say a single word the rest of the game. And then after that, didn't say anything to the team after the game.
Next day, we got text messages: like, practice, no practice tomorrow. And it was like, Coach Lloan resigned. A week later, D. Will was traded. And he sent him to the the Brooklyn Nets.
Yeah, well I I actually remember that time frame. That was uh Crazy, yeah, he's Jerry Slow was sick of it.
Okay, November 7, 2010, the Indianapolis Colts.
Well, this time they started Peyton Manning. He started his 200th consecutive game. Unfortunately for him and the Colts, it was a loss to the Eagles. Manning joined Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to start 200 consecutive games. Listen to Peyton Manning.
As a part of that Well what the heck is this? Hey, Botcha, what the heck is that, man? The wrong team? Oh, did I write the wrong team? But he threw a crucial interception to the Patriots.
But he played the Eagles. They played the Eagles? Oh, then I must have got in the wrong game. Yeah, we don't need to listen to him throwing in there. He played.
He had a big forehead and a long neck. Eventually, that long neck got him busted up. We know Peyton Manning is one of the greats. November 7th. 2016, speaking of a great Steph Curry.
He set an NBA record with 13 threes on this day, November 7, 2016. The game before that, he missed every one of his threes.
Okay, so Steph Curry was getting a little bit of a get back.
Okay, the Golden State Warriors beat the Pelicans 116 to 106 with 13 threes. He finished with 46 points. Yeah, this man is a nut. We know Steph Curry is a nut. Listen to him knock down all these threes from the Warriors radio network.
Draymond to the front court to Curry. Curry for three. It's a new NBA record for Steph Curry. He's got 13 at the Warriors league 109-97. 46 points for Curry.
13 of 17 outside the arc. History may cut an oracle and a timeout for the Pelicans. And Steph Curry, he's a great. And there you have it, folks. November 7th, a few things that took place this day in sports history.
Speaking of a great, this is a good opportunity to give you the MLS game preview, sponsored by Lowe's. Lowe's knows that saving is always top of mind, especially this season.

Selections vary by location. Here's a legend. Lionel Messi.
Okay, him and Into Miami are getting ready to take on Nashville as See. It goes down tomorrow at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. It's game three of the first round best of three series in the twenty twenty five Audi MLS Cup playoffs. The series is tied up And of course, we want to see Messi and what he can do, one of the greatest of all time.
So, and let's see what takes place. And thank you so much to Lowe's for helping us out with this MLS game. Preview. This man is not a legend, but he's been in the news. Man Botcher, why doesn't Jalen Brown just Why is he still?
He did all that talking about a haircut saying he's gonna get hair plugs and hair transplant in Turkey. He was taking on the pistons. He rubbed his Beijing painted head on somebody else again. What are we doing? Yeah, I think he's.
In the process of just contemplating going bald, and at this point, I don't think he wants to give up his quote-unquote youth. Everybody is getting after him. I mean, Brian Scalabrini was on NBC Sports Boston and said the guy is a victim. Listen to this. Oh this is not an offensive foul.
Oh no. Taylor Brown got another victory. Right there. Yeah. Yeah, he's leaving hair marks on people's heads.
He's he's lowering his head, driving to the basket. And he's leaving paint marks on people because his head is full of paint. I mean, it Shaquille O'Neal was making fun of him. Oh Jalen Brown, I see you, Shackle the Food. Did you just come from Beijing?
Yeah, Beijing is the hair product that you basically plaster on your head to make it look like you got hair. I mean, even Rick Ross, Rick Ross, the musician. I mean, we got musicians just dissing him. Listen to this stuff. Jalen Brown, y'all.
It's time to end the madness. It's time to end. The madness Whoever your barber is, tell him to stop. Chill with the hair follicles. Those hair follicles.
It's like a jaw, and he's spraying like hair from another human on there. But you playing ball, my nigga, you gonna. That's it's causing trauma. It's time to let's stop the madness. Stop the madness.
And then we got Christine Williamson on ESPN. She is a bald woman. Even she's saying stuff like: man, stop it. Remember when you talked to LeBron James about what exactly he should do because he's balding?
Well, apparently the thing that he learned was that he needed to spray his hair with hair black. As a bald person, I think everybody should just embrace their bald. I need a high-five from Jordan right now who's also bald. I don't understand why men just don't embrace the fact that they're balding. They just need to let it go.
But I do, you're in the darkness. I do think that Jalen Brown eventually will probably shave his head. Bald is beautiful. Just do it. Shave it all off.
It doesn't matter. Man, if the season wasn't worse or bad enough for the Celtics this season, I mean, what does his teammates think about? They about to be killing this guy. like bra. Embrace the buzz.
Just take the hair off, man. Take their hair off, all right? Anyway, oh, yeah, and by the way, we got six NCAA players. They have been banned for sports betting.
Okay, that's the. You want to talk about whether or not the players can go out there and gamble?
Well, I think it's a bad idea, but people go and gamble anyway.
