We talked about the return of LeBron James. Ah, man, it's been a busy show. And we got more to get into. Steve Sarkeesian says I'm not leaving Texas. I mean, he was more forceful than Lane Kiffin, who just said he was not given an ultimatum.
Major League Baseball, we got some new uh contracts that they announced.
Well, not on the baseball side, but uh how you'll be able to watch baseball in the future. might be changing. Michael Porter Jr. My goodness Apparently the New York Nets the New York Nets. Botch, I can call him the New York Nets, right?
Is that disrespectful? It's a little bit. Disrespectful to the Knicks, not the Nets.
Well, they used to be the New York Nets, right? Yeah, when they were in Long Island. Yeah, yeah. The point is, nobody cares about the Nets. Just you and how many other people?
Twelve. Yeah, not not bad. The Brooklyn Nets told this guy to shut the hell up.
Now he's over here saying crazy things about Women playing basketball. What is this guy's problem, man? Michael Porter Junior went to Brooklyn and uh He found out what a podcast was. Hey, Bacha, let's uh later on in the show, next hour, let's uh. play a few clips from Michael Porter junior because he's um He's kinda out there.
He's an out there dude. Maybe being in Denver kept him quiet. But uh he's breathin' some of that Brooklyn air. Maybe he's now a hipster. Apparently the Brooklynettes have told him to just shut the hell up, man, okay?
He's just Doing too much D. T M.
Okay? Thank you to everybody listening on the Free Odyssey app. People locked in on their local Infinity Sports Network affiliates. You got SiriusXM, it's channel three hundred seventy five. And if you have a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play.
The Infinity Sports Network.
Okay. Boom. This is the fun stuff right here. This is the this is the good part. Every Wednesday, I share with you a new top six list.
And it could be a variety of things. You know, best top rookie seasons of all time, top six, this, and Top six that top six rivalries in sport. It's it's always fun. Today It's not just going to be fun, it's going to be interesting. Because there's nothing uh statistically driven Today, about this.
We're not talking about the best. Catchers of all time, the best clutch performances, the best coaches. No, no, this is a different top six list. Because on Monday On WWE Raw. Yeah, wrestling.
Okay? We had Camp Scatterboo. who is an injured New York Giants running back. This man broke his leg. His his foot was bent the wrong damn way.
about two and a half weeks ago. and on Monday He was at Monday Night Raw, in New York City. New York giant, New York City. Not bad for Cam Scottaboo, right? Not bad.
Here's the thing, not also a bad thing, to sit down at a sporting event or an entertainment show, not bad. But then he got involved physically. And I get it, we all know the WWE is scripted. Nobody out there for the most part is trying to kill the other guy, but you want to make it look like it. And he just got into a little bit of pushing and shoving.
And he had a boot on his foot. Oh, you just broke your leg. Cam Scatterboot said, Hey, you know, anybody who wants to take away from me and, you know, I'm at the worst part of my life and I can't do what I love, playing football, and I'm just trying to have fun, unfollow me. He sounds like a Sounds like a young guy. A, to go online and complain and and B, to have the thought process of I need to go online and defend myself just sounds like something a young person would do.
And I'm just like, man, what are we doing here? Like i and apparently the New York Giants knew that he was gonna be at the event. Did they know he was gonna get physical? And I I know I don't care what they they said was okay. The New York Giants' owners had to roll their eyes when this took place.
You mean to tell me our star running back who we are now investing in is over here, uh at a WWE event, they rolled their eyes. They may have said no big deal, but I know deep down they were just like, This is what we're paying for? And then the guy has to just defend himself. I'd be happy I'm getting a chuck for the Giants. And I go to the event and I just I just chat, but who am I?
You know, I'm just the guy on the radio. I'm not busting my ass, breaking my leg. Just running my voice, running my mouth, and every now and then I lose it, okay? There it is. Could you imagine if he legitimately, accidentally got hurt?
Could you imagine if he slipped out of the chair? Could you imagine if he was pushed too hard by accident? Could you imagine if one of his teammates fell on him, or one of the extras, or one of the referees, or the fake security guy? Could you imagine if he further damaged His ankle. That would have been One of the worst sports injuries, one of the worst disasters.
ever in sports.
Well, how did you hurt yourself? I was just rough housing at a WWE event. after I already broke my leg. I think that's stupid. He says he wouldn't put himself in harm's way.
Well, ain't no guarantee of that, man. And wrestlers try not to put themselves in harm's way the majority of the time, and they practice hurting themselves, and they still get hurt. Come on now. And so to day, Thank you so much to Cam Scatterboo. But it's time for a new top six list.
We're going to take a look at some of the dumbest sports injuries of all time. Let's go. Six five Four, three.
So One It's time to get JR's latest top six list. only on the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Reef Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're taking a look at some of the dumbest sports injuries of all time. You know what?
We gotta go to my main man. We got to go back to Phoenix. We got to go to somebody who won an MVP, and then he went to an NBA Finals, and then the very next season. He burned his eyes. Yeah, he burned his eyes before the season started.
He burned his eyes at a concert. And who the hell am I talking about? It's Charles. Barclay. Because In 19 95.
Charles Berkeley had lotion on his hands. rubbed his eyes. and burned. his corneus. he missed the opening of the season.
That you know what? Because it's Charles Barkley. He made a joke about it.
Okay, I want you to listen to this clip from the NBA on TNT as just. Shaq and Ernie and And Kenny, they're like, how the hell did you burn your eyes before the season started? What the hell were you doing with lotion?
Sorry. You had lotion in your eye and you couldn't play? No, dude, the colours are in the body. When did you burst lotion? Why were you at a concert with lotion?
Exactly. It was on my own. Why? Wait, no, no, no, it was on your hands. Yeah, I was sorry.
I was having a great time at the Eric Clapper concert. Why would you be buddy, bro? I had it on my hands and I accidentally rubbed it in my eyes. We understand you had it on your hands. Why did you see that lotion?
Man, I was serious, bro. Kidding. Kidding. Hey, I had a great time at the concert. In the middle of a concert, did you also get a bracelet that night?
I didn't come tell y'all, man. Y'all paid this. I was scared to get it. Damn, Star Kiss. No, dude, I was rushed to the hospital that night.
We want to know why. You were rushed to the hospital from the concert? No, yep. When I got home, I couldn't see it. And Charles Barkley had lotion on his hands.
He rubbed his eyes. And he needed to wear an eye patch, and he missed the beginning of the Phoenix Suns season. He missed the season opener because he burned his eyes with a hand lotion. That is the most Charles Barkley thing ever. I got that at number six as one of the dumbest sports injuries ever.
If that is number six, where are we going next? Number five. Top six dumbest sports injuries. At least Charles Barkley, well, no, it is at least nothing. At number five, We've seen this a lot.
Athletes get overzealous. They get hyped, they get excited. They do something amazing. They win a game, and guys, they go down, they hurt themselves, right? I mean, I remember watching Gus Ferrat run into a wall and sprained his neck.
Okay, that's not on the list. But we got another guy, he's a kicker.
Okay, you're a kicker. I'm number five. It's when Bill Grammatica Hit a field goal. He was a rookie.
Okay, he had a 42-yard field goal. This was the first quarter. He's over here jumping up and down, he jumped in the air. His leg planted and he ripped the ACL in his right knee. Come on, man.
This is why kickers have no respect. I mean this is one of the most widely circulated pieces of footage. over the last 25 years, anything sports related. The guy kicks a field goal. He's jumping in the air, fist pumping, and he goes down in pain.
Let's take a listen. Let's throw it back to the NFL on Fox. This is Bill Gramatica doing too much. This one will be from 43 yards out. Yeah.
It's got the accuracy. It's got the distance. Martin Gravanica, 15 for 19 this season. And he hurt himself leaping up and down. He just strained his knee.
He uperextended his knee. It's not his kicking knee, it's his planting leg, which is even worse. Who cares what leg it is? The guy, he ripped his AC out. Celebrating You you can't You can't make this stuff up.
Just holy ridiculous. That's one of the dumbest. Any injury where you get her celebrating is horrific, but being a rookie kicker. Yeah, that's uh that's absolutely Horrific. Top six dumbest sports injuries of all time.
Bill Grammatica at number five. What do we got next? Number four. At least Bilgrammatica. got into the game.
At number four, I want to take you back to, you know, a flamethrower in baseball. You know nowadays everybody's a flamethrower. Dudes are throwing a million miles per hour, but we had a pitcher, and everybody in Detroit might remember this guy. He literally had a flamethrower. He had flames tattooed on his arm.
I'm going to tell you about Joel Zumaya. Because in 2006 Pitching for the Tigers, he was lighting up. The radar gun. They bring this man out of the bullpen and he's like, boom, 103. Yeah, 104, and he's just out there.
Throwing gas. And you might remember his team back in 2006, the Tigers were good.
Okay, they went to the American League Championship Series and took on the A's. Damn it, this team even went to the World Series, but they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals. You want to know who wasn't available in the postseason because of an injury? Joel Zumayev.
You wanna know what happened? No, he didn't throw too hard. No, he didn't strain or sprain his arm. Joal Zumaya, hurt his wrist. he developed carpal tunnel.
From playing. A video game. Yeah, excessive use of the wrist. And to get your mind out the gutter, he was playing Guitar Hero. I mean, what are we doing?
The guy missed out on the American Elite Championship Series because he overused his wrist. Playing a video game. You cannot make this up. I want you to listen to this YouTube clip from Stark Raving Sports. Joel Zamaya threw the fastest pitch in baseball history to that point.
104.8 miles per hour. We're generous here, we'll call it 105. Joel was on top of the world. You could say pitching dominance for him was as difficult as slow ride on EZ, but that would be the last time he would pitch in this series. You see, the 2006 ALCS is when Zamaya suffered his first injury in the major leagues.
He missed the rest of this series with a sore wrist, and after the season, the Tigers GM said it was because he got hurt. Playing Guitar Hero.
Well done, man. Epic gamer moment. Zumaya has never truly confirmed or denied this, but it's generally believed this is what happened. Guitar Hero ran with it. In the credits for Guitar Hero 2, the game developers put the following message in: No pitchers were harmed in the making of this game, except for one, Joel Zumaya.
He had it coming. Oh my goodness. Joe Zumai will tell you that it was a cover-up. But he still won't tell us what the injury is. A guy playing a video game Getting hurt.
Missing postseason action. Yeah, that's gotta be one of the dumbest sports injuries ever, man. Put the fake guitar down and pick up a baseball. Top six dumbest sports injuries ever Joel Zumaier getting hurt playing guitar hero. Is number four here on the list?
Is there a worse injury than that? Where are we going next? Number three. At number three. I just figured I gotta get this guy's name in here.
Okay, this man, you want to talk about injuries? Oof. He might be facing 30 years behind bars. He's currently facing a murder rap. At number three on the list.
It's It's Antonio Brown.
Now this has nothing to do with him killing anybody. Uh but if we go back If we go back to Antonio Brown's time, With the Raiders. Oh, yeah, and by the time he, the team he never played for, by the way, when he was with the Raiders. Antonio Brown didn't just complain about his helmet and Just everything. You might recall there was a point in time where Antonio Brown burnt His feet.
Yeah, you heard me correctly. He was in a cryotherapy session. And he did not wear the right footwear. This guy burned his feet. And I mean outside of that and calling the uh The Raiders, various racist names.
He ultimately got released and cut before he even played a game. With the Raiders. And this was all documented, God bless you, on HBO. Listen to Antonio Brown with uh Let's just say he had worse or better problems than he has now. Listen to this.
You want to see it? Are you sure you wanna say that? You look like you're walking a little funny. Yeah, my feet is pretty much getting circumcised, right? Yeah, like circulation?
Yeah, no. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. With the new skin, yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's kind of like a pullback right now.
Yeah. Got circumstances on my feet, you know. Hopefully my feet born again and I figured I'll run faster. Feel sorry for me later. Thank you.
Yeah, does this sound like a guy who has his uh You know all his marbles? Yeah, he just came back from where? Dubai? He was hiding from the US authorities? All right.
Yeah. Antonio Brown, one of the dumbest sports injuries ever. Yeah, he has an issue going overseas and and things happen. Unless he's in Miami and he's You know, shooting at a guy because he feels threatened anyway. Antonio Brown, number three on my list.
He burned his feet, okay? Top six dumbest sports injuries ever. What can be worse? Tell me. Number two.
Oh, I found it. Forget injuring your feet. What about What about blowing off your hand? What about blowing off your fingers? What about just just hurting your damn self?
I mean, yeah, number two on the list, it's Jason Pierre Paul a decade ago. This guy had too much fun on 4th of July. It just... It was just horrific. He blew off part of his hand.
This was a guy who could get you 10 sacks a year. He's a physical freak coming out of Florida, and he could have derailed his entire career. He almost did. Listen to this report from CBS back in the day. Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback CJ Wilson lost two fingers on one hand.
During a 4th of July fireworks accident, NFL.com is reporting the injuries are career-threatening. Wilson was set to compete for a spot on the Bucs roster after appearing in two games last season. We are also learning more about the severity of injuries suffered by the New York Giants Jason Pierre Paul in a separate fireworks accident. ESPN reports the defensive end had to have his right index finger amputated. He had been in contract negotiations.
The Giants had reportedly pulled a $60 million offer they had on the table. Yeah, what that is, two idiots out there, but Jason Pierre Paul. Man, we had no idea what was gonna happen. He missed the first eight games of the 2015 season. He played with a club cast after he came back.
And you know what? He actually continued the rest of his career. He played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's kind of crazy, man. It's nuts.
Listen to Jason Pierre Paul. He spoke to Sports Illustrator. He said, Yeah, I blew off my finger, but uh I wasn't gonna stop. You know, this is going to stick with me for the rest of my life. You know, I look at football totally much different now.
You know, now when guys be like, oh, I'm hurt, you know, you don't know what hurt is, you know? I could sit here and moke around about things, but in reality, yes, there's people that's going through worse. than me. I'm still capable of living my dream and doing what I, and providing for my family and for my son.
So That I'm very proud of. Yeah, I'm come on He won a Super Bowl with the Giants. He ended up winning another one with the Buccaneers. He could acquit Jason Pierre Paul. blowing off part of his hand, is one of the dumbest sports injuries ever.
And God bless him, he was able to... To come back from it.
Okay, we got Jason Pierre Paul at number two on the list. Dumbest sports injuries. We're going to take a break. and when we come back on the other side. Yeah, I'm going to tell you about the dumbest sports injury.

You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. And we all love tingles. Yeah, we're going back in time, taking a look at some of the dumbest sports injuries. Of all time. Yeah, we're we're getting down to number one.
I'm about to tell you. About the dumbest sports injury ever. Here's a quick recap. And it's tough narrowing this down to six. Because we've had so many incidents just across the world of sports of ridiculous things happen.
But here we go. At number six I gave you Charles Barclay. The man burned his eyes, missed the sun's uh season opener, about thirty years ago. because he put lotion in his eyes by accident. Yeah, you heard me correctly.
Charles Brockney, thank you. And number five, Bill Grammatica was a rookie kicker. decided to celebrate a field goal in the first quarter, jumping up and down like an idiot. He tore his ACL. And number four, Joel Zumeier?
Flame throwing reliever for the Detroit Tigers.
Well, he had to miss the American League Championship Series. because apparently he had carpal tunnel. He had too much action with his wrist and his forearm. He was doing a repeated motion that caused him injury. Joel Zumaya was playing too much.
Guitar Hero Yeah, he heard himself playing a video game.
Well that back and forth action with the guitar, it it injured him. And number three. Top six dumbest sports injuries of all time. I figured, let me just fit him in here. Why not?
Antonio Brown. I mean, his tenure with the Raiders was pretty disastrous. He never even played a game. It was just an off season of nonsense. Uh he he froze his feet.
Cryotherapy he didn't put on the right footwear, and he burned the soles of his feet.
Alright, just one of the dumbass things that he's done in his life. And now he's uh looking at a murder charge. What a surprise Top six dumbest sports injuries of all time. Jason Pierre Paul blowing off part of his hand. I don't I mean, these athletes, I I guess they're just fearless.
Cam Scatterboo is like, I got a broken ankle. I could play fight on WWE. Jason Pierre Paul is just like, yeah, what's the worst that could happen? Me shooting off fireworks. Yeah, I may lose an eye.
I may blow off my hand. What's the worst that could happen?
Well, he did blow off his hand.
Okay, he did. God bless him he came back. He's tough guy. Matter of fact, l let's listen. To Jason Pierre Paul.
Before we get to number one, JPP, what the heck happened with you, man? This is what he told: Good morning, America.
So, normally on the 4th of July, got a lot of fireworks, you know, got cook-off for the kids, you know, music. They have certain firecrackers. No, the one I was holding it, you know, I thought it was a different one, but it wasn't. And it just went off in my hand right away. But you didn't have time to even throw it?
I didn't have time. I was throwing them all night, you know, and then I lighted the last one up and it blew off my hand. What exactly are the details? How many fingers did you lose? I lost one finger, which was my index.
They did a flap on my middle finger. I lost the tip of my thumb. Yeah. Yeah, he got about three fingers. He still won the Super Bowl Law.
They made a special glove for him. Shout outs to Jason Pierre Paul for still going, man. He could have just said, man, I'm done with this. I'm done. But I got him at number two.
Despite him overcoming the odds, he's number two on my list. Of dumbest sports injuries. And that issue is self-inflicted. I mean, all of these are self-inflicted, but to blow off your hand is a tough one. It's preventable.
And that that kinda leads me. to what I have here. At number one, we're talking about the dumbest sports injuries of all time. Let's hear the fancy voiceman say it. Number one The dumbest sports injury ever.
We have to go back. to two thousand eight. We have to look at an NFL player who just helped a team win a Super Bowl. and just a few months later, He shot himself. You want to talk about the dumbest sports injury of all time?
It's when Plaxical Boris shot himself. in a club in New York City. put the bullet right through. his thigh Come on, man. You can't make this up.
Yeah, this was in 2008. The Giants just beat. The New England Patriots they just beat em a few months earlier, and here we are in the season. It's November and Plaxico Burris is is pew-pewing, he's shooting himself. Uh listen to this this report from the Associated Press.
New details are emerging about exactly what happened last weekend when New York Giants wide receiver Plexico Burris accidentally shot himself inside a Manhattan nightclub. It's now known that Burris arrived with linebacker and teammate Antonio Pierce just after 1 a.m., quickly heading to the VIP section. It was around 1.50 in the morning that Burris fumbled with his glass, his .40 caliber Glock slipped down his leg. That is when witnesses reported hearing a pop. According to investigators, Iberis then said, take me to the hospital.
Despite the gunfire and blood, no one at the club called police. In fact, no one, not the players or the hospital, reported the incident. After the shooting, a club security officer grabbed the gun, unloaded it, and held it while Piers helped his injured teammate. Less than 15 minutes after the shooting, Burris arrived at New York Presbyterian Hospital, registering under the alias Harris Smith. Burris was arrested on Monday and now faces gun charges which could land him in jail for more than three years.
His next court appearance is scheduled for March. Come by the Planter Leberse shot himself in the club. He had an unregistered gun. And it it didn't just get get worse.
Well, it did get worse from there. Because the mayor at the time in New York City, Mike Bloomberg, yes, of Bloomberg, yeah, the billionaire guy. Mike, we were from a billionaire mayor in New York.
Now the mayor is a man of the people, apparently. Anyway, Michael Bloomberg at the time was just like, oh, no, no, we got to make an example out of Plaxical Burris. We got to put this guy away. We don't play with guns in New York. Listen to this.
Our children are getting killed with guns in the streets. Our police officers are getting killed with guns in the hands of criminals. Because of that, we got the state legislature to pass a law that if you carry a loaded handgun, you got automatic three and a half years in the slammer. And I don't think that anybody should be exempt from that. And I think it'd be an outrage if we didn't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, particularly people who live in the public domain, make their living because of their visibility.
They are the role models for our kids. And if we don't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law them, I don't know who on earth we would. It makes a sham a mockery of the law. And it's pretty hard to argue the guy didn't have a gun and that it wasn't loaded. You've got bullet holes in and out to show that it was there.
Now listen, Plaxical Burris he was slapped with a two year sentence behind bars, He served twenty months?
Okay, plastic bursts went away. He was gone for almost two years.
Okay, the New York Giants, of course, before they even got to the conviction, the New York Giants said, See it. They said, Goodbye. We don't want you. He just helped them win the Super Bowl and he shot himself. The Giants said, All right, no, thank you.
And then. After after like two years of being out of the league, Plaxico came back. In twenty eleven, he played with the New York Jets. He had eight touchdowns. And then the very next year, he tried to go back to where he started his career with the Steelers, and let's just say he only had three catches.
And that was pretty much it. for Plaxico Burris after he shot himself. We have heard stories over the years of him, you know, going broke and paying for legal cost. Yeah, Plaxco Burr shooting himself. It's number one on the list.
Dumbest sports injury. Abbur Listen. Li matter of fact, don't listen to me. Listen to Plaxico Burris. He told ESPN a few years ago he talked about his worst day in prison.
F the first day. Because it's an out-of-body surreal experience because. You know, you sit there, you're like Okay, somebody's going to come get me in a few seconds. You know, this is going to be over. And then you sit there for a few hours, and you don't know how long an hour is in a day until you're sitting there 17, 18 hours a day just by yourself and reading and doing everything to keep yourself busy.

and miss the rest of the season. for the Jaguars back then.
So, uh took the act. once he hit the tree stump and instead cut his own leg. Yeah, I don't they didn't have the axe in the locker room after that, I bet, uh. They still have it. They have it in uh in under glass.
Oh, yeah.
Well, yeah, ain't nobody chomping anything. Shout out to Jack Del Rio. Yeah, you can't grab it. Yeah, just just do that. Hey, thank you, Craig, for calling from Myrtle Beach.
Have a good one, JR. You you as well, yeah, man. You take an axe to your leg in the locker room? Ouch. 888.
And I mean, it's not to say you're the kicker, but to chop an axe into your own leg by accident? Like, what are we doing here?

Hey, JR. Always enjoy uh listening to your show. Hey, I I can never forget Vince Coleman getting rolled up by the tarp, I believe it was in Jay Stadium. Yes, I remember yeah, I remember that. Yep.
Enough. Uh one other one I was thinking of too was uh Gus for Roth. The quarterback uh celebrating the touchdowns. Yeah, headbutting on a concrete wall. Yeah, he drove out of the game.
Sprained his neck. Yeah, I I it's that's certainly one I considered, but I said Martine Grammatic is a kicker. That that little bit worse for me, Randy. That's right. That was unbelievable.
The yeah, the Bill Grammatica jumping up and down, celebrating. of winning field goal and uh And going out to the season? No, it wasn't even a win. It was in the first quarter. It wasn't even a winning field, bro.
Oh, really? Oh, I thought it was a game-winning field goal. It's like in the first quarter. I'm like, what are you doing, man? Just sit your ass down, stupid rookie.
What a genius. Thank you, Randy. I do. No doubt. Shoutouts to Randy for calling from Tampa, Florida.

You're on the JR Sport Re Show. What's up, Ben? Hey, how you doing, JR? Good. I I remember uh I think it was Cordova.
He was an outfielder for the Orioles. Would have been like early 2000s. two thousand one or two and uh sat in the tanning bed and got burned his face so bad that the doctors told him he couldn't be in direct sunlight while healing, so he had to miss games for it.
Well, you know Ben. I thought about that and I I was going to put on the list and I did a a little bit more deep of a dive. Or yeah, yeah, deep of a dive. Is that how I say it? A deep dive.
There you go. Yeah. He says that it wasn't a sunburn, He says that he was getting ingrown hairs removed from his face, that were lasered off that caused the the the issues and the burns. he said that it was a cover up, and he did not want to out the doctor and ruin his business, because the doctor burned him by accident.
Okay. Yeah, I mean I believe it sounds reasonable. Yeah. I mean, burning yourself in a suntannin' booth sounds, uh, you know. It sounds dumb.
But it does seem kinda reasonable that And he he he makes the point of I didn't have any other injuries but to my face.
Okay, if I was in a tannin bed, wouldn't I? be burned all over, so? Good point. Good point. And then.
