My people leaving work, my people going to work, my people getting ready for Thanksgiving, my people on the road. Shout outs to people sitting behind that jackass in traffic.
Please drive safe. Either way, I'm going to be here with you for the next four hours.
Okay, this is when the show gets started. Every weekday, At 6 p.m. Eastern, Yeah, yeah, yeah. And soon, I'm going to be sitting behind some jackass in traffic, okay? This is going to be the last show for me for the week, okay?
But let's enjoy it. Let's. Have a good time. We got a lot to get into.
Well, I mean, Monday night football last night, when we were live on the air, that was not a good time. That was uh pretty pathetic. Trying to watch Brock Purdy and And Bryce Young go out there and throw the football to the right guy.
Okay, well we'll talk about that because if you're Brock Purdy People are looking at Mac Jones saying, that guy's going to take your job. You don't want that. Speaking of a job, Justin Tucker, remember he tried out for the Saints? He didn't get a job. They didn't pick him.
It stinks for him, right? Huh? How about this, Brandon Cooks? He got a new job. Yeah, he was dropped by the Saints.
Now he's with the Buffalo Bills. We'll get into that in a second. Aaron Rodgers looks like he'll be back. Joe Burrow looks like he'll be back in two days for the Cincinnati Bengals as they take on the Ravens on Thanksgiving. Brian Kelly.
He's mad they won't let him back. He's like, LSU was not allowing me. to get another job. LSU looks real messy right now. They look ridiculous.
Okay. Hey, we got Sed Nguyen who's going to join us. Talk about the San Francisco 49ers. Can they really hang? With the Rams.
Okay, said Nguyen will be here with us from the athletic. We got Lindsey Rhodes joining us to talk NFL all the stats and numbers from Sumer Sports. Hey, we got the next reveal next hour. Of the college football playoff rankings. That's going down.
We found out a couple of guys who are now semifinalists. And so going to the pro football, Hall of Fame. We've had a couple of MLB trades over the past several days. We had another one, Sonny Gray, moving on. And then of course at the end of the show we'll talk about a few things.
that took place this day in sports. History. It's real simple. You you got internet service? You got internet access?

the Infinity Sports Network. I am in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much to our producer. He's in New York City. His name.
is Ryan. Botcher. I said some congratulations already. Congratulations, Brandon Cooks This man is now on a contending team. Brandon Cooks who just got cut and dropped by the saints.
The saints looked at this man and said, Ah He's done. He's cooked.
Well, pardon the pun. They said he's finished. And so the Saints said we don't want him. And the Buffalo Bills said, let's bring them in. I mean, the Buffalo Bills are looking for any semblance.
I don't want to call this. A a a desperation move. But when you think about the weapons that the Bills have had at wide receiver over the past several years, the best option they had was Stefan Diggs, and he was just a complete. Pain In the ass. I mean, this is this is where we went.
You think about Keon Coleman, he can't even show up to work on time. It was all fun and games when he was joking about buying suits and coats and Macy's. And now he can't show up to work. And Khalil Shakir, he's okay. Josh Palmer, they're okay.
But every game Josh Allen is expected to be The guy, and of course, you're the starting quarterback, people expect you. to be the guy. But there's too many times that Josh Allen has to wake up and just be Superman. You know, every now and then you just want to sit at home and be Clark Kent. You know, put your feet up.
Hang out with Lois Lane, take her on a date, and I don't know, watch a movie, Netflix and chill. You don't be outside whooping Lex Luthor's ass all the time. Nobody wants that. And so good luck with Brandon Cooks. Do I think it's going to make a massive difference?
No. I think I don't want to call Brandon Cooks washed up. I mean this year for the Saints only 19 receptions for 160 Five yards. We know he's at the end. But maybe going into the Buffalo Bills, going from basically worst.
To almost first, one of the best, the seven and four Buffalo Bills. We know they're still Super Bowl contenders, I'd say. Uh maybe that'll put a battery. In his back.
So you got a little bit of NFL news here. I don't know. Maybe you can just. Make some money off of Brandon Cooks now if you're a degenerate gambler. But even outside of that, let me talk to you about what took place last night.
Because if you were gambling on that game, I hope you didn't have no money. on Brack Purdy. The 49ers went out there and beat the Carolina Panthers. I had to sit right here in the studio and watch it unfold in front of me. Every time I looked up at the TV, There's a Brock Purdy interception.
There's a Brock Purdy interception. There's another Brock Purdy interception. He's throwing interceptions in the end zone. He's missing out on points. He's giving a ball back to the Panthers.
The Panthers couldn't do anything. What the damn ball. I mean, outside of Purdy throwing that first and well, the first touchdown to Jawan Jennings, He jest throwin' that rock. To the wrong team. You don't want to throw the ball to the other team in the other colored uniform.
You want to throw the ball. To your teammates. an' he was missin'. And so we know Brock Purdy was coming back from the toe injury. We know that his mechanics might be off.
I don't know, maybe he's rusty. Bri Purdy says, Listen, man, shut up about my foot. My foot is fine. I just sucked last night. Listen to this.
Toe is fine, feels good out there. It's really just seeing the the play develop in anticipation and letting it rip at the end of the day.
So it had nothing to do with my toe. No, and nothing to do this tell.
Well, Brock Purdy, what happened on the three interceptions? Like, what how did that happen if it wasn't your foot? I mean honestly like the decisions of going to those spots I was fine with it's just the execution of throwing uh a better ball. Um feel like on Really, all of them, I needed to just drive the ball a little bit more, and I kept it up in the air too long on multiple of them. That's again, that's on me, man.
I thought our receivers did a great job of getting separation and winning. And so it's just execution-wise, I gotta throw the ball. uh more on a line and and put it there. Yeah, leaving the balls in the air too long is not a good thing for an NFL quarterback. Bad idea.
Let's listen to his head coach. Carl Shanahan. Was also asked, not about the balls in the air, but about his foot. What's wrong with his foot? Uh Kyle Shannon here and says, I don't know.
No, there's there's no narrative to a late throw. You're just a little late and when you do it, which people are late a lot, you just can't throw behind them when you are. You gotta put it in front of them and he had a little behind them on all three and all three of those corners made him pay. Mm. This is with, and keep in mind, this is the team that won the game last night.
The San Francisco Forty Niners won the game. They have a record of eight and four. They are likely going to the postseason. They. got their starting quarterback back.
But keep in mind, yeah, he did have a toe injury. That's why there's so many damn questions. about his foot. There's also questions because Mac Jones held things down, as the starter when Brock Purdy was gone. Mac Jones.
In the eight games that Purdy was standing on the sidelines. Help take them to a five and three record. With a depleted offensive roster? I mean, you got to think about Mac Jones. He was running around with that gigantic brace on his leg.
He was getting smacked to high hell. And they were still out there one end. And so naturally there have been questions about okay. Do we need to put Mac Jones in the game and tell Brock Purdy? To sit out?
Kyle Shanahan was asked about that. Hey, Kyle Uh after Brock Purdy threw all them damn interceptions. Uh did you look at maybe uh switching a quarterback? Did you think about it? When Brock lead the third pick, did you at all consider going to Mac considering how well he'd been playing?
No. Okay, no, simple as that. All right.
Well, we will uh We'll see what happens next. Brock Purdy he ain't he ain't worried about he's like, listen It's like anybody. You go wake up. and have a bad day. You could wake up and have a bad game, bad day at work, bad day at school, bad day in your own damn house.
Those are the worst. Brock Purdy's like, Listen, man, I'm gonna be okay. I just had a bad day. That's football, man. It's four quarters for a reason.
Obviously, I don't want to have that kind of performance, but I'm an NFL quarterback and you have games like this and it's all about how you prepare and get better and move on to the next. I feel like you don't the greats and the good quarterbacks, man, they don't dwell on the past. They're able to go through some bumpy trials and stuff and then learn from it and keep going.
So that's the challenge ahead of me and I'm excited for it. That's the game of life, right? Not every day is goin' be smooth sailing.
Some days are gonna suck. But nobody gets up and says, you know what? I hope I hope today stinks. Nobody wants that. Just try to do your best at every part of the day to kinda move things forward.
Brock Purdy is going to be moving forward. He is going to be the quarterback here. the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are paying this guy. more than fifty million dollars a season.
Mac Jones is expendable.
Okay, they got this dude on the contract this year. He can get traded next year if they want to get rid of him or move him. He's the loose change. Brock Party ain't going nowhere, so people might as well get used to it. But here's the unfortunate part: when you throw out the future.
Of Brock Purdy. Forget about that for a second. Who's trading for a guy? With $53 million attached to his name per season.
Okay, only a dumbass team like the Falcons would be out here paying two quarterbacks and can't use either one of them.
Okay, leave that to the Falcons. If you got to think about this season. The San Francisco 49ers. They they're not good enough. God bless them.
They are eight and four, but don't let the number and the record deceive you. And I understand what everybody says. Bill Parcells years ago, almost 30 years ago, oh, you are what your record says you are. You're damn right. A forty nine is a eight and four.
They ain't no Super Bowl contending. eight and four. Too many injuries. I mean, we still got to talk about the starting quarterback and his toe. Man, every single game, the 49ers where they come on the television.
On the phone. I guess. I don't know. However the hell you consume NFL football. I guess I don't know if I could say TV anymore.
People watching on all types of screens. But I see Fred Warner. Sitting up in a a suite. with his leg elevated, okay. I see Bosa.
Sitting up in another suite. I guess these guys want their space. They don't like each other. I can't blame them. Maybe I'm making stuff up.
But Nick Bose is sitting up in there. They have to cut this guy's knee open again, another ACL. And so, when you're missing two of your biggest defensive pieces, When you got another offensive piece in Brandon Ayuk, who God only knows where he's going to be, he's been trying to get out of San Francisco for more than a year now. Yeah. They they don't got enough juice.
They don't have enough juice offensively. I mean, you take away Christian McCaffrey. Who the hell else is scaring you? He just kidded by himself? Maybe a couple years ago, but not right now.
There's no Debo, there's no Ayuk. It's on the offense. I mean, they got no defense, or their biggest players on defense are hurt. The 49ers are nice. Every year they hang in there, they get close, but.
Not close enough. This year's goin' to be no different. Have you seen the bombs? That Matthew Stafford has been throwing to Devontae Adams. He leads the NFL with 12 touchdown receptions.
Matthew Stafford is out here. This dude got, what, 30 touchdowns to two interceptions? He's going to win MVP. 49ers can't hang with them. Maybe they can get lucky against the Seahawks.
But the the forty-niners, if you got any hope in them this year, That ain't nothing. But fools go. That's it. Nothing else going on here.
Now congratulations to the forty niners they won last night. Uh don't expect. Anything else after that? Waste of time. Waste of time.
Oh, yeah, by the way, congratulations to Carolina. At least they're good. They made it back to Monday Night Football. But they ain't good enough. I mean, there's six and six.
Whoop the freak into.
Okay, I mean, Bryce Young is going to be able to stick around. He'll get a contract extension. He ain't getting no big money. He threw two interceptions himself. What the heck was his game last night?
Five interceptions between us, two starring quarterbacks. I thought Monday night football was supposed to be a showcase of the good teams. Last night was garbage, okay? I mean, more interesting thing we got is when uh Jawan Jennings tried to fight that no name guy for punching him in the crotch. And I'll tell you one thing Kyle Shanahan appreciated.
It wasn't the fact that Brock Purdy was throwing interceptions. He was happy Jawan Jennings didn't try to punch him back in a crotch during the game. Ah yeah, the guy took a cheap shot and hit him in the b then. I was real proud of Joan for not losing his mind out there. Get him to the sideline.
Ibacha, what was the bleep? What did he say? Uh, it was already in our system, but I'm assuming it was a private parts area mentioned. That's how long that bleep was, private parts area. No, but yeah, I don't want to hit the dump button just in case.
The dump button, in case. Brock Purdy was just talking about leaving the balls too high in the air. That's what he just said. Yeah, yeah. That's what Brock Purdy said.
Kyle Shanahan, that's what he said, right? I hope so. Oh, okay. What? Whoever edited it in the system?
I trust them. Oh, my God Basha, who was in the you have no idea. You wouldn't know. Who the heck was in this studio before? Why they got fruit they got a fruit fly in here, man.
What are we doing? I would say it's that time of the year, but it's the winter.
So I have no idea why there's a free time. Man, I'm going to spend the commercial break in here trying to bust. Hold on a sec. Botcha. Pick that.
There's a guy who's trying to call us. Man, by the time this stupid thing moves in front of my face He's over here crawling on the console. By the time I get ready to bust his ass, He's gonna move away. I just I know how it goes. These stupid animals.
And people why are they putting st why is there food in the studio anyway? Ah. Anyway, it's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Yeah, I mean, it's not even Thanksgiving and people are already uh Leaving a mess. It's ridiculous out here.
Okay, here's a phone number if you want to call: 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Yeah, I hope all the football we get on Thanksgiving. I mean, at least we got three games. It got to be better than that crap we got last night.
Where everybody is just. Just throwing the damn ball.
So they're wrong. Theme.
Okay? And thank you to the 49ers. Y'all look good, but y'all ain't good enough. We got a lot to get into.
We got Lindsey Rhodes joining us from Sumer Sports. We got Ted Wynn joining us from the Athletic. They're both going to come on at different points to talk about the NFL. We're going to find out, speaking of Thanksgiving. Is Is Joe Burrow going to play?
Looks like it. Aaron Rodgers got to wait a little while longer, but is he going to play? uh coming off of that broken wrist. What's gonna Well, what are the college football playoff rankings? What are they going to look like?
We know the Pro Football Hall of Fame semifinalists. I'm going to drop some names later on in the show. We'll talk about some of the MLB trades that have taken place. There's a lot to get into. 888-710-4ISN.

Network Huh. Bacha, I did, I killed it. Like fully like clean is dead. Boo. Oh.
Why you saying that? Why you say it's So next thing you know, Pete is on your. Oh, you're bad. Oh, crap. Oh, crap.
Oh, boy, here we go. Because I killed a fruit fly. Yeah, it's an animal. Oh boy, here we go. Thanks for the.
Why didn't you tell me that when I threatened to do that in the last break? I don't. I don't think there's gonna be a complaint, but I don't know. Listen. I've heard from the Peter.
The Peter folks have been positive. No, you know what? That's not true.
Well, it's a combination. I got an email from the people at PETA. Like the next morning. I was talking about it, and we're going to get into the LSU Tigers because I think they're being petty right now with everything they got going on with Brian Kelly. And yeah, sure, you don't gotta like the guy, and yeah, you might have been out there faking the funk.
you know, trying to coach that team. But they they just giving him a rough time. We'll get to that at the top of the hour. But yeah, Boch, I mean, a couple of years ago I was uh Uh I I just Like I like animals. I mean, I'm not going to kill a tiger.
A tiger will kill me. A fruit fly, yeah, I will kill a fruit fly. I don't care what Peter says. But I was talking about Mike the Tiger. Have you been down to Baton Rouge?
Not at all. But I isn't there like a pet tiger on campus? No, don't say that. Don't call him a pet tiger. He is not a pet tiger.
There is a tiger. Tiger's name is Mike. Don't ask me what number or iteration of Mike this is, but yes, there is a tiger out there. His name is Mike.
Okay, and and he's not a pet. He is there for preservation purposes. As far as I know, that's what LSU says, I think. And so he sits outside the stadium. He has his own uh enclosure.
And it's it's it's a nice size, I guess. Um And I just, every time I've gone by there, I just go by there. I look at the Tiger, and I've never been on game day. I don't want to be out. It's too many people for me.
Well, you know, I I've been out there game day, but never at the stadium. I go by in the middle of the week. I go by the School of Journalism. Shout out to the wonderful people at LSU. And I walk by the tiger's cage and I just shake my head.
And I say to myself, We got a tiger. By his damn self. In the middle of Louisiana, Man, I'm out here scorching, burning up. 100% humidity, 90 degrees. I'm like, okay, it's a tiger.
Sure, fine, whatever. I guess he's hot wherever he's used to coming from, maybe. Probably. And I'm just like, why they got this one solitary tie guy? There's no place better.
I get it. If you're fixing a tiger up and you're making him feel better and he's good and and you're sending him back somewhere, then terrific. But there's no place better. Couldn't imagine being the only human on earth Or away from your people, and they just stick you in the middle of nowhere in a cage. I'm like, damn.
And so, Bacha, I said that on the air. and the wonderful people like Peter, They sent me a note, And they thanked me for standing up for Mike the Tiger. They thanked me. Because technically speaking, It's true. Most of the time, like, zoos have multiple tigers because.
they need to like get rid of the endangered label. And they wanted to go out there and procreate, right? I guess. Yeah, that's the premise of keeping them safe, one, and then procreation. Yeah.
So. just one tiger by itself. It's kinda like every other score where it's like the buffalo at Colorado, the bulldog at Georgia. But like they're I don't know what they do. The dog goes home to live in a house.
the dog has air conditioning. Like that dog gets treated nice. this tiger It stays in this enclosure. He doesn't go nowhere. He's just there.
He doesn't go back to, you know, I don't know, Buffalo, you send him back to the ranch and he eats and he hangs out with his Buffalo friends. It's not like they import other Tigers in for him to hang out. He's just out there by himself. Yeah, it's pretty rough. In Louisiana, I don't know.
Let me take a cow and just, well, cows are everywhere, a bad example. Um Let's see. Let me take a rhinoceros, okay? And let me just put him up in Boston outside of a Gillette stadium by himself. And just leave them there.
Like, I don't know. And so the people at PETA wrote me a nice note. Uh 'cause I was here for uh advocating on behalf of Mike the Tiger. But now you're telling me the people at PETA are gonna come after me because I killed a fruit fly in a break. Maybe.
It might be an option because aren't they against all animal violence, right? No, it's. Even does a who does anybody care about a fruit fly? Ah biologists maybe? 'Cause they somehow in their Fly ways, they keep the ecosystem running.
It's kind of like mosquitoes. It's like, why what's their purpose? Oh, suck blood, right? And be a pain in the ass and spread disease. There's nothing fun about them.
Yeah, like their only purpose is to be killers.
So there's nothing, there's malarial. Listen, there's certain things on earth that we do not need. Mosquitoes are one of them, and so are fruit flies. Don't fruit flies grow out of rotten stuff and maggots and things. Isn't that what they do?
Yeah, they grow out of dead things. But in the same way, They also I don't want to say pollinate, they might spread something. Man, we don't we've fruit flying never done nobody good. How big do you think his brain is? Does he have one?
Does he care? Does he just exist? Just exist, probably. He got killed and didn't even know what happened. He didn't know if he was alive.
Who cares? Screw him. And shout outs to all the wonderful listeners in Louisiana. Shout outs to everybody tuned in on WWL. Everybody running on 10 in between Baton Rouge and Louisiana.
Speaking of Louisiana. We told you yesterday about the uh the New Orleans Saints they tried out Justin Tucker at Kicker.
Well, they said no, thank you. They said we don't want this guy here. A Cade York. is going to get the job now. They said we are going to take Cade York Over Justin Tucker.
Justin Tucker, you might recall. Uh well Suspended 10 games by the NFL for sexually inappropriate behavior. These allegations come down from about 16 massage therapists. in the Baltimore area. And so the Saints said this was a good idea to give him a kick and give him a try.
And ultimately, they said, no, thanks. It was just yesterday that Kellen Moore, the head coach of this. A pathetic team. He talked about what the upside of having this guy in would be. Yeah, he's been a really good kicker in this league for a really long time, and he's had a ton of success.
And he's been a leader for Baltimore for a long time as their team. He's been one of their leaders for an extended period of time with a very successful team. Yeah, obviously, um There's been some stuff that's been unfortunate. He's gone through an experience, and I think it's about collecting what that experience was. And we'll evaluate the football aspect of it, and we'll evaluate everything else as well.
Oh, well, they evaluated everything and said, No, we ain't bringing em in. They got Kate York out here kicking. The guy hasn't kicked the football this season.
Okay, this man last kicked for the Bengals last year. The year before that, he wasn't even in the NFL. But I guess if there is a benefit, he went to LSU. And so maybe being a few miles away from Baton Rouge will help him out with the Saints. Probably not, but it's a better story than uh bringing Justin Tucker into the locker room.
Cameras are going to be in this guy's face. Is that the distraction that you need? Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. He's a kicker.
Talk to the kick if he loses the game or if he goes out there and he uh you know, has a good one. The Saints next game. is going to be against Miami. And so Kate Yorke will be able to go down to Florida. And then complain about the humidity on the football as he, I don't know, goes wide left or right.
quite a few times throughout the course of the game. It just never. never made sense. to bring Justin Tucker in. Because you bring them in the locker room.
And they're no longer talking about playing against Miami. They ain't talking about any of the games against Tampa Bay or the Falcons. That's done. They want to talk about him. Hey man, how you feeling?
You didn't get sued. You feeling okay? Did allegations done? You know, nobody wants to deal with that. NFL teams are all c hypocrites.
But the fact remains that for the most part they they want to avoid distractions unless they're they're stupid enough to create them. themselves. eight eight eight seven seven four I S N That's 888. 710 for ISN. Trey.
is calling up from uh Alabama. Yeah, you're on the JR Sport Brief Show. What's up, Trey? Hey, what's up, J.R.? I just wanted to touch on your first time calling, by the way.
I'm from Birmingham. I just wanted to say. I hope the Venn diagram of Key to listeners and sports and JI Sports Brett fans. Are in the same kind of way as you kind of I think you might have disrespected the the fruit fly just a little bit. Oh, boy.
But. I know, I know. I mean, but you know, I should have gone. You think a fruit is a fruit fly, does he have an aim in life? Does he know what's going on?
Is he aware? Is he conscious? I mean, I don't know to get you getting exercised with it. You know what I'm saying? I don't personally, I don't know.
But I just want to say that it's. He's the size of a, you know, not a, you know, a clothespin for your clothes when you're sewing? Yeah. Yeah, just his head is about the size of a pin. Like, how big can his brain be?
I mean, you stepped out to quote Robert De Niro, you stepped out alive a little bit. You said that you have a brain. You know what I'm saying? I'm pretty sure everything, you know, out. You think everyone jellyfish does not have a brain.
Well, see, you know what or not, dude. You're a wiser man than me. Anyway, I just want to call in and say, what's up? I think you and Bosh have a great back and forth, and I appreciate your show, man.
Well, thank you so much, Trey, for calling from Alabama. Thank you so much. Yeah, see, not every But See, jellyfish, they are living things.
Now I'm gonna have all the animal people calling me um. No. Jellyfish do not have brains. As far as I understand, they have nerve endings and electrical stuff in their body. that helps them function and move.
But they just out here, they ain't got no brains. And so, yeah, sure, a fruit fly a fruit fly can have a brain. But I don't mean he's he's worth here we go off here we go Ah, fat. Google helped me out here. You ready for this, botcher?
I know you probably looked it up yourself, huh?
Well, which part? Because I saw the jellyfish. No, fruit. You didn't believe me that a jellyfish don't got a brain? You know?
No, I'm just not. I wasn't well-versed in the aquatic. You didn't know a jellyfish does not have a brain? I knew they had nerves because they reacted. They don't have brains.
Now, a squid on the other hand, squid and octopus, those are some of the smartest things on earth. They will open up a doorknob and they will, yeah, they're smart. But anyway. I screwed myself here. The fruit fry the fruit fry Fly brain.
is a complex of small organ. Containing a bunch of neurons and a million k a bunch of connections, okay? Due to its structural similarities.
Some mammalian brains. That's your brain botcher. and the ability to perform complex behaviors. It is a valuable model for studying neurological functions in diseases. Great.
Okay. Aye. Uh I called the fruit flies stupid and they obvi they have complex brains like mammals. Uh I doubt it.
Okay, they're widely used in research. They share about 60% of their DNA with humans. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Peter's going to message me.
despite their small size. They exhibit complex behaviors such as navigation. Who cares? Oh, here we go. Ah, botcho, I'm done.
I'm done. navigation, learning, memory, and even courtship rituals. Mm-hmm. Yep. The fruit flower blank brain uses many of the same neurotransmitters as humans.
such as dopamine, which is involved in arousal, sleep, and memory.
Okay. I've never seen a fly sleep. Just a heads up. Where do they sleep? I'm just being honest.
But yeah. Yeah, yeah. Their brain's obviously complex, and I'm. Maybe the people on PETA are on vacation for the holiday already, okay? Hopefully.
Hopefully, they're not sitting in the car listening.
So, anyway, I still don't give a damn about the fruit flies. It's the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Speaking of Thanksgiving, I'm going to tell you about a quarterback. He will be back.

This wasn't a human being that I saw. There's something here in this house.
Something not of this world. There was a woman moving through the hall. I stepped back and I was completely alone. Radio Rental is available now. Listen for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast. on the Infiniti Sports Network. And we talked about uh some players that are sticking around in their current jobs. If Brock Purdy ain't going anywhere, stop asking Kyle Shanahan about Mac Jones.
Justin Tucker doesn't look like he's gonna get another shot to kick. In the NFL so far this season, he's certainly running out of time now that his uh A 10-game suspension is done. New Orleans Saints said, Let's bring him in for a tryout. And then they said, No, thank you. And so I don't know when we'll see Justin Tucker back, if at ever.
Uh but there is there's one guy who's gonna be coming back. And if you're a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals, I guess you should be happy about this? Joe Burrow is back. Yeah, the Cincinnati Bengals. Why is he coming back?
The Bengals are 3-8. They just lost 26-20 to the New England Patriots. Joe Burrow had to deal with a turft toe. His damn self, and I mean, he's been playing behind a crap offensive line. for years here.
And so the Bengals are out of it. You got Jamar Chase, who didn't play in that game against the Patriots, by the way, because remember, he spat. on Jalen Ramsey the week prior against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Don't don't spit on people. That's a that's a bad idea.
But in the next game, Which is going to be Thursday against the Ravens. Joe Burrow's going to be out there, and for what? Right? The Bengals aren't going anywhere. And Joe Burrow, unfortunately, due to that crap offensive line, he has a history of injuries.
And so is it not dangerous? To throw him to the walls. I'm going to enjoy it because why not? We get Jamar Chase, who spat on a guy, and then we get Joe Burrowback, who's one of the best quarterbacks in the game. These are two of the top talents in the game.
I'm gonna see the best out there. I want to see Joe Burrow. I want to see Lamar Jackson. And so, you know, Joe Burrow was asked today. Speaking to the media, about just Goin' out there.
And playing. and he made it very clear. He says, I'm not afraid of nothing. I'm a football player. If I'm healthy, I'm going to go play.
I ain't no punk. I think just like a lot of kids, you you grow up going through Thanksgiving, you have your meals with your family and then you go and sit on the couch and Typically there's not a lot on. Except Football back in the day it was lions and somebody. You go watch Matthew Stafford throw for 300, 400 some yards with Calvin Johnson and probably lose the game. But it was fun to watch.
You know, those are memories that you have and so I I always wanted to be the person. Out there. Oh, screw that. I mean, he's talking about Matthew Stafford. Come on.
That's how far.
Well, I guess he's. younger than me. Uh forget that. What about his foot? Is he afraid?
Um we'll see. We'll see. I think I'm feeling good, good enough to go out there and move and extend. Um obviously pick my spots. Uh when when to do that and when not to.
Uh But I feel confident that in certain moments I'll be able to do that. Oh wow.
Okay. certain moments you'll you'll be able to go out there or not. and move around.
Okay. All right, good on Joe Burrow. We'll see him out there. He says, I am a football player. It's like if I'm healthy, I'm going to go out there and get the job done.
Speaking of healthy, we get that game. On Thursday.
So we get to see Joe Burrow on Thanksgiving. Good for him. Uh Aaron Rodgers. Looks like he's going to be back against the the Buffalo Bills. We just saw the Bears beat the Steelers.
Aaron Rogers has made a career. Out of going out there and beating them up. But he didn't get a chance to play. He tried to play, but with that broken left wrist, they ultimately sat him out. Mike Tomlin spoke to the media today.
And he said that Aaron Rodgers, yeah, I feel good that he's going to go against the Bills. Aaron, obviously, man, worked his tail off to get to us last week. But as I mentioned, over the course of the weekend, it was a prudent and appropriate decision. Um We'll start this week with great optimism, although we certainly will limit him at the early portions of the week, provide opportunities. for the other quarterbacks while preserving him and And but again, we're comfortable with the general trajectory.
But I'll keep you updated and his level of participation and the quality of his participation over the course of the week would be the greatest indicator. What? That's a lot of stuff he just said. He's just saying stuff. Mike Tomlin, he's old.
He's about to be, what, 42 years old in a week or so? You ain't worried about this old man busting up his wrist again? I think time will tell. There were so many unknowns last week because it just is lack of work during the course of the week. that there'll be less unknowns regarding that.
That topic, and that's what makes this week an encouraging one, and that's why we're hopeful. Nah, they're hopeful. Good for them. We can all be hopeful. We all got to be hopeful.
about something. As you get around your family and Or maybe not. Maybe they get on your nerves. Either way. When we pull up on on Thursday, and start week 13 of the NFL season.
We got Green Bay at Detroit. We got Kansas City at Dallas. And then in the night game, But we got Cincinnati. at Baltimore.
So we'll we'll have an opportunity to see Joe Burrow play on Thursday, a Thanksgiving night. By then, maybe you'll want to kick people out your house. Maybe a few people will be intoxicated or inebriated. Hopefully not. Hopefully they're doing it safely.
And then also we got a Black Friday game. We get the Chicago Bears taking on the Philadelphia Eagles trying to bounce back after that loss, that choke job. Against the Dallas Cowboys.
So we got a lot of football here to start the week off. I guess week 13. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. We got Jim.
From Chicago, you're on the J.R. Sport Brief Show. What's up, Jim? Hey, J.R., how are you? I'm feeling good.
What's on your mind? All right, good. Hey, Dad, uh, you just were talking about the games just uh Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and I'm thinking, uh, Detroit over Green Bay, Chiefs over Cowboys. Ravens over Cincy and Philly over the Bears on that game Friday. What do you think?
Yeah, I'll I'll take Detroit, I'll take Kansas City, I'll take Baltimore and Philly. Uh-huh. You're right. Yeah, it's kind of funny because now the last, what, two, three years they've been doing that on the Black Friday. They're like when they're busting in on the NBA on Christmas.
Now they're doing college games on Black Friday at the NFL. They just keep on moving forward. Yeah, well, Amazon is paying them a lot of money to broadcast the game, so why not, right? Yes, right, that's right. And that's true.
And then with Thanksgiving coming up, I got a Jive Turkey for you here. Jive Turkey Award. Fred, that guy last night kicking that guy in the giblets on the 49ers. What the hell? Punching him.
What the hell was that all about? I mean, every now and then, that's the one that we saw on camera. They be punching each other in the giblets in them piles, right? That's something else. Yeah, that definitely that definitely merits a giant turkey award in my estimation.
No doubt about it.
Well, last I mean, every week we got something different, okay? I mean, Jamar Chase spat on a guy last week.
Now we got another dude. punching a guy in the crotch and um I don't know. Maybe next week somebody will bring back the Ndamikin Su stomp. It's possible. Yeah.
Who knows? It's always something. There there was a guy way back in the day. I don't know if you remember him or not. They used to call him Ka.
His name was Conrad Dober. They used to call him Dirty Dober because he was always doing something stupid in those pile-ups. He was an offensive lineman with the old St. Louis Cardinals, and he was known for that and just that kind of stuff. Yeah, listen, nobody wants to be prone laying on the ground, and next thing you know, you got body parts getting twisted around.
That's uh. Not what you sign up for when you play football, but I guess you do. That's all. Yeah, and it says something. All right, well, hey, happy Thanksgiving.
I know you said this is your last night for the week, and you and Ryan Boucher and all you guys have a great holiday.
Well, thank you so much. We appreciate you, Jim. You too, all right. Yes, sir. All right, no doubt about it.
Nobody wants to get punched in the giblets. I didn't think I'd be saying giblets on the radio, I didn't think I'd hear it. But Jawan Jennings, he spoke after the game. He's the one who got punched in the giblets. Uh he says uh Shanahan was happy that he didn't punch him back in the giblets.
We talk about all the time how small this window is for us and so you know being seven rounder, cut, come off, I don't want to make any mistakes. You know, I'm trying to go out there and play the hardest I can and you know I like the rest to help me out when they can. Yeah, don't retaliate. Don't punch another man in the giblets. Bad idea.
It's the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you, Coach. A coach? Yeah, coach says don't punch him to giblets. Coast to coast.
On the Infinity Sports Network. We are going to take a break. If we come back, We're going to talk about an individual. He must feel right now. That he is getting punched.
10. The Giblets. Brian Kelly is mad at LSU. LSU is mad at him. Yeah.
And they're just being petty. Why people gotta be petty? I'm going to explain on the other side of the break, and the college football playoff rankings are coming up too. We'll talk about here on the Infinity Sports Network, the JR Sport Brief Show.
