It is. The JR Sport Brief Show. On the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Shout out to everybody listening, locked in, all over North America.
We appreciate you. I get going. Every weekday, that means Monday through Friday. And since I've been here for three hours already, that means we've discussed. A lot.
Thank you so much to Tomeir Azarli for joining us from Clutch Points to talk some NBA. Thank you so much to Jason Lockenfor. And I felt Odyssey Insider for coming through and talking to some football. Speaking of football, Patomic. It's Thursday.
It means it's Thursday night football in Detroit right now. The Lions lead the Dallas Cowboys 10-3. They just got underway here in the second quarter. Jameer Gibbs was able to punch in a one-yard touchdown not too long ago, and so the Detroit Lions trying to. Turn the tide for their season.
They are losers of three out of the last five games. They are trying to improve their record to eight and five and not. Fall to seven and six. The Dallas Cowboys have won three straight games. They're trying to also improve their playoff stock.
Whoever loses this one is going to take a major hit to their playoff hopes.
Okay, we got so much more to get into as we continue on with the show. We talked about Giannis and his injury to his calf. He has a calf strain. God bless him. Not a torn Achilles throughout all of his Trade rumors and rumors about his future.
Mark Andrews. His future is going to stay in Baltimore. Shocking. They gave him a three-year contract extension. Jalen Carter is out.
But the Philadelphia Eagles had a a procedure on both of his shoulders. We ain't going to see him against Justin Herbert with his busted hand on Monday night football. And so we've discussed a lot, we got more to get into. We talked about Russell Wilson. He's going to be in studio with CBS this Sunday.
The New York Giants, God bless them, they're not playing football. Nobody has to sit down and watch them lose.
So much to do.
So much to discuss. Eight at eight, seven ten, four ISN That's eight eight eight seven ten four I S N. I am online everywhere at JR Sport Brief. Damn. You know, right before we went to break, I told you that a change, a major change that's going to happen in the NFL.
It's gonna be their field. The NFL is mandating that playing surfaces for all stadiums meet new standards by twenty twenty eight. Yeah, you got to wait about two years. I know, almost two years, because it's almost 2026. But basically, the NFL and the NFL Players Association, I guess they finally come together in consensus and have said.
Some of these fields suck. Like, we have heard so many complaints about the fields. We've seen so many injuries. I mean, you take a look at, and this was of note a couple of weeks ago, it's of note every year. Heinz Field, whatever they calling it now, Acrosshere Field or Acry Shore, whatever the hell it's called, is Heinzfield.
The fact that Pitt plays their college football games there. And then the Steelers turn around and play there as well. And it's all on grass. By the time the Steelers get to it, It's a dump. They got to re-start it.
They got to regress it. It's just a mess. You got players slipping and sliding. Do you want old ass Aaron Rodgers on there? You want old ass Cam Hayward running up and down on that crap field?
Listen to Cam Hayward just a couple months ago call out the Steelers Field. Honestly, I lost one of my teammates and kind of makes me sad for that. Do you still like the grass over the turf, even if it's turf? I like grass, but that wasn't grass for me. What can you guys do differently than this turf?
I can't do anything, so. I mean, the team, though, the team, the steelers. I'm not a landscaper, I'm not going to ask like I am, but, you know. Hopefully see you by the next time we play. You're like, yeah, I can't do nothing.
I'm not a landscaper. I don't know about the grass, I just work here. They make me play on it. I know it sucks. It ain't grass, it's it's slop.
And whether you're on grass or in the turf of MetLife, where it feels like every other player is blowing out his knee. I mean, Josh Jacobs was just out there playing in Green Bay, and he's like, yo, the turf sucks. I think you're the first player ever to get hurt on MetLife and only miss one day of practice. Man. Where does that rank on your favorite stadium surface?
Oh, it's definitely the worst. It's always been the worst. And I kind of. I know if I ever play there again, I would never talk about it because I talked about it all week, how bad it was. And it bit me in it, so yeah.
Oh, wow. And so, this is where it stands. This is how the NFL. is going to try to maintain. a certain level of quality when it comes to services, okay?
They're basically going to team up with the Players' Association. And it's going to be like you buying a carpet, like you going into the store. And feeling all the textures and what it is and what it's not, they're going to have an agreed-upon library. whether it is artificial turf, whether it's grass. And you're going to have a limited amount of options as to what you decide.
to put in your stadium. And this is going to be agreed upon between the Players Association and the NFL. And this is something that they plan to have in place by 2028. Of course there was a lot of of issues. I looked at a lot of the stadiums across the league, especially the ones that will be participating in the upcoming World Cup here in the United States of America, where they said, wait a minute.
Why can the soccer players come to America from all over the world and play on grass? But the NFL players Like, we got to be relegated to crap, whether it's crap grass or astral turf, whatever the hell they call it, field turf. And it we know it's simply because of money. That's what it boils down to. You can do a one-hit a quitter, and everybody's happy to have the World Cup in a global game.
But hey, our NFL players, who gives a rat's ass? You know, you're replaceable. We're still making money. You're making money. If one guy gets hurt, then on to the next one.
That's ultimately been the mentality. In soccer, they're not going for it. Come on. Messi came over to the United States of America. And this dude was just like, I ain't playing in some of these games on that turf.
You can forget it. Like, I need some rubber pellets and fake grass eating up my kneecap so I can get caught in that. come to America to to get hurt? No the hell, thank you. No thanks.
And so look, the NFL, I'm surprised for once. The Players' Association. And the league, they come together to at least try to fix one problem. I mean, they got a lot of problems, don't they? 888-710-4ISN.
That's eight at eight seven ten four ISN. Andreas is calling from Chicago. You and the Chair of Sportby Show's Up Address. Good morning, or good afternoon, good evening. Thanks for taking my call.
No problem. What's up? I got a fix for the college playoff football system.
Okay. Mm. I think it's a good one.
So there's one hundred and twenty eight teams In Division One, So what I propose is Taking top sixty four as a tier one. The other tier sixty f out of out of sixty four, tier two. You break them down to two conferences, thirty two, no, sixteen, thirty two teams each conference. You have eight divisions. Four teams.
In each division, And you get rid of all the ball games, playoff committee, computers. records dictate themselves, You keep the rivalry games together. and you're always playing good opponents throughout the year. And Two conference each division. In my eyes, you'll have people that would want to sponsor these divisions, conference names.
Andres, I gotta. Are you done? Keep going. I'm sorry. No, no, that's uh that's pretty much The fixed work because as an avid culture ball viewer, I'm tired of hearing.
This team got the win over this team, over this team. I'm like, it's too much. Let's fix it. Wow. I have a simpler solution.
I don't know if it's better or worse. I think one of the worst things that I got no problem with them having 12 teams right now. This is what I'm saying. I got no problem with what they're doing. Look, you're going to be a loser, you're a loser.
That's your fault. But if there is an issue, and I think a big part of what we see right now is. Like, there's still an element of we have to have a wild card. That we include in this 12-team playoff. We have to give away a piece of candy.
to a potential Cinderella. And the fact that you can put in a team From I don't know. The Mountain West or the American Conference, the fact that we just added in another team outside of the big four or the power four. That's where things are kinda crooked. Like there should be no reason there should be no reason why Miami has to go.
Well, you mean to tell me that, I don't know, Duke can go in? I mean, what are we doing here?
Well, they may win the ACC championship, but. It it just It's not fair. Why do we gotta hand out a I don't want to call it a uh It's a participation trophy. That's ultimately what it is. If you got rid of that and you just had the top 12 teams and you just counted in the big four, the power four, and then you added in the additional.
A spots. The eight spots, then that'd be fine. We don't need to give away a participation trophy to the other group of five school, the best conference group of five school. That's that's a waste. I'm from Dallas, so to think that you and T.
Okay, right. UNT can play in the cost of they're going to get destroyed. Same thing happened to TCU a couple of years ago. Yeah. But at least they went to the champ yeah, but at least they went to the championship.
Yeah, but they got decimated and, you know, they were they had no chance to But that is my call. Thanks for taking my call tonight. No problem. Thank you, Andres, for calling from Chicago. Yeah, I was getting ready to tell Andreas, man.
I felt like I was sitting in a lecture. He was picking up food, I know he was. Bacha, did you follow what the hell he was saying?
So basically, he wants to split the 120, I'm assuming, FBS teams. into Two conferences. and eight divisions in the conferences somehow based on s like Strength.
Somehow, or NIL?
Okay, now. And then they play each other and then the the winners of each division makes the playoffs.
So, eight divisions, he said?
So, eight divisions in each conference.
So, it'll be a 16-team playoff. Based off division of winners. Oh, man. That's why I was listening to him. I was going, bro, this is doing too much.
DTM doing too much. I was doing two. Do you agree with that? That sounded kind of convoluted to me. No, there's no way you can actively make.
Fair and equal divisions in college football. Why not the teams? that deserve it win. Uh there shouldn't be arguments if I'm on the bubble here, if you deserve it And if you are a true contender. I know I know Ohio State had a rough go and they still won the championship last year, but If you are truly a strong threat to be in the Constra Pole playoff and make the championship, win your games.
Like Miami, Notre Dame, win the games. It's just you shouldn't have to rely on strength of schedule. Uh I agree. Projected better. Is it gonna be somebody to complain?
You know, it's like, hey, well, we only got four teams now, and the fifth team got left out, so we're screwed. It's not fair. And now we've expanded to 12 damn teams, and now we got 15 teams, 16 teams that can legitimately compete. Don't get me started on no damn top 25, doesn't matter. And you got people who are ticked off about that, oh, we didn't do this.
Well, if we were down to four teams, I know we're not down to four. People would be. Out here complain, people always gonna complain. It's human nature. Control what you can control.
Just try to win every game. As simple as that. I know we got people out here trying to now think of of of strength of schedule and How can we beat up? On a powder puff and and then how can we uh you know do what we need to do in conference play? It's just It's all just doing too much, man.
But what he said. Nah, just eliminate. one of these group of five schools. Picking one of them, the highest-ranked group of five schools to get a bid. Just to have a Cinderella, nah, it's it's a waste.
Like, you're either good or you're not. And we know these power five schools, they're not doing nothing against no Big Ten or SEC champions.
So just go ahead and. and throw it out the window. Yeah, I don't think do you think we need that botcher? Yeah, I think like I don't want to disrespect Powerfies, but you know, it's just the reality. It's the reality.
They can't compete with. The SEC Or The big 12. It's just not going to happen.
So, I mean, how many years do one of these schools got to get their asses with before they go? You know what? Adding this fifth school here is a waste of time. But at the same time, The only Like Boise State last year. They had Ashton Genti, who was.
in there for the Heisman Real.
So I get certain teams like that. But in years like this where there's no real guaranteed star on these teams. that is going to be drafted probably top 10 the NFL draft. It's just not. realistic.
to have them in the playoff. Yeah, it well, it's it's to feed interest. I understand. This is all a A television property, and it's all for entertainment purposes.
So, everybody wants to know, you know, what a You know what Cinderella is going to pop up? This is not the NCAA tournament where you got 64 teams, or I guess it's 68 teams now. And you're naturally going to have a bunch of teams that are just like, oh my God, they knocked off this school. Oh, my God, this team won. Like throw that out the window.
I mean, this is football. There's less teams. They can't play as many games.
So, of course, you have a shorter. And quicker feel. But to really think about this. A group of five school, what are we doing? I I love Tulane.
Damn it, I'm gonna I'm I'll probably walk around all weekend. In my Tulane stuff, I love Tulane. Love New Orleans, love Louisiana. Does Hulane win the championship? No.
Is North Texas gonna win the championship now? We looking at boise and no, the answer is. No. They're just going out there just to go, oh my God, it could happen, and just to ultimately get punched in the mouth.
So, hey, that's one way to easily.
solve and fix the college football playoff. Get rid of one of these group of five teams that get in. It's nice. There's a lot of things nice, you know, just. Giving candy to a baby is nice.
You know, giving your kid a sticker for completing their homework is nice. Bach, people still do homework? Kids still have homework? Yeah, of course. Of course.
Is it digital? Most likely. I don't think they have to do handwritten stuff. Man, some of these teachers were ruthless when it came to that stuff. Did you?
You said you were a nerd. Did you like homework? Depends what it was. Like, I hated reading. Did you do it?
I did it. But at the same time, it was like math I could get through easily. History was just annoying to write essays and other stuff like that. Don't you think there's a point in time where there's a good amount of homework and sometimes it's way too much? Yeah, I feel like homework should be Twice a week?
Three times a week.
Okay. For 45 minutes. Yeah, uh 45 minutes. An hour. An hour of total, like per, an hour each night is kind of a lot.
I'd say 30 minutes per. 30 minutes per hour. 30 minutes of homework, but also. There should be balance. I felt that I also flew by my homework.
It was just. Thirty minutes per subject is fine. There were some teachers when I was in element as I got older, this sounds awful. Maybe it's it's normal. As I got older, you want to know what I've done, Bacha?
Less work. I mean, outside of being an adult, I've worked my ass off more than I've ever had in my life. Guess I'm working backwards. Uh When I was in elementary school, sometimes they would give us homework in middle school. I'm like, yo.
Are you trying to murder us? Do you understand I've been here since eight AM? And sometimes I'm not doing work until 8 p.m. Like, I'm working harder than my family, and they got real jobs out here. I'm just going to school.
Like where is the balance for a child? Like, this should be a balance. Like, yes, I believe in homework to reinforce and practice what you learned in school. But not to just have me dying all day long. I should be able to.
Have recreation. I should be able to be in a club. I should be with my friends in the neighborhood and after school, a sport, an instrument, go swimming. You should do something. It shouldn't just be.
Five times five a million times, five times six, and now you got to do social. Like, that's too much school, man. Yeah, I think nowadays it's a little different. I think it's more of just reinforcement.
So I'm old. I'm old.
Well, it was, it was, when I first started in school, I think I thought it was a lot. And then when I got to high school, I don't want to, I had a great high school experience and education. It was just. Besides for essays and having to read books, The homework itself, it was just. Reinforcing what you learned in class, and it wasn't a lot.
But if you i it's not fun or engaging like this, got it. They need to let well, no, that'd be a bad idea. I was gonna say they need to just let me. L let me do school. Like, let me...
It's a bad idea. Aren't they trying to do something with the Department of Education? Aren't they trying to get rid of it or something like that? I don't think they're trying to do that. I think they're reworking it and fixing.
I don't think so. I think from the federal level, they're just like, I'll let the states handle it.
So. What we'll have are some states that are already you know, good and some that are already not good. Let me handle education. I got it. I can do it.
Okay, trust me. You would trust me with that, bacha, right? I can do it.
Yeah. How hard could it be? You gotta learn how to do math. You gotta learn how to pay your bills. They don't even do that.
You should have a general understanding of history. All of it. Um Yeah. That's you know, that's it. What else do you need to know in life?
Nothing.
Well yeah there's no For me at least, if I didn't have a senior year class in high school of like how to do personal finance. There was nothing in my education system that taught you how to write a check, know your social, all the other stuff that you need for when you grow up.
Well, man, listen, good for you. Man, I didn't even finish my senior year of high school. I told them I want to leave. And I graduated early. I had no desire to sit around and just do what am I sitting here doing?
Nothing? Did you do anything your final semester of high school? No? Exactly. I went to them in early in my junior year and I said, get me out of here.
I said, what do I need to do to study to get out of here? And they told me and I left. I got my degree and I left. I had no patience for it. None.
Yeah. I just if I left early, my parents I think would kill me. Yeah, what does it matter? You get a high school diploma, what what difference does it make if you sit there for three years or four?
Well, i I the Regent's diploma. That really doesn't matter anymore. I don't think it mattered at all. Yeah, I don't care about that. Who cares?
Look, piece of paper, piece of paper. Either stupid or you're smart. Pick one. It's the JR Sport Brief, you're smart, botcher. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.

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. Oh, my goodness A Dallas Cowboys fumble. It leads To a Detroit Lions touchdown.
The Detroit Lions just scored again. David Montgomery up the middle. a thirty five yard touchdown.
So Jameer Gibbs gets a one yard touchdown. David Montgomery gets a thirty five yard running touchdown. And the Detroit Lions, they lead the Cowboys seventeen to six It's about four minutes to go here. In The second quarter.
So the first half is almost done. The Dallas Cowboys had the football, they fumbled it, and the Detroit Lions don't waste any time. And going out here and converting. And we know, as we discussed early in the show, this game has massive playoff implications for both teams. The Detroit Lions currently have a record of seven and five.
The Dallas Cowboys, 6-5 and 1. The Dallas Cowboys on a three-game losing streak. The Detroit Lions really need this victory. As they have lost three out of their last five. They trail both Green Bay as well as the Chicago Bears when it comes down to the NFC North.
You know what? Let's take a listen. Right now, everybody knows this is a very important game. Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Detroit Lions. He talked about how important it is.
Listen to this. field must win. And you know, you say that, but there there's there's a lot of things that can happen. And of course you want to win every game. And we want to win this one.
This one's very important and certainly it's an NFC opponent, a team that's in the playoff hunt, just like we are. And so yeah, it's a very important one and and we want to win. It's an important game. You got to win. If they don't win this game, they play off chances of Cooks.
So, as it stands right now, they're alive. But we know the Dallas Cowboys, man, they could put up points and they can do it. Quickly, very quickly. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN.
Now listen, don't get me started. On why in the last break, we talked about educational homework. Bacha, do you remember? Uh, we were talking about Education, uh school, college, I don't know. Yeah, we talked about the college.
We talked about the college football playoff. And we had an explanation by one of our our callers. He basically broke down. What he thought the college football playoffs should be. And then I I said it made me feel like I was in school.
And then we started talking about school and how ridiculous it can be at some points. Shout out to everybody who went to school, shout outs to people who did not. People like me didn't give a damn. Um And I said, I could lay out the curriculum. I can't teach everything, but I think there's a good balance for being educated, but also being well-rounded.
Everybody should have some balance. And ironically, this week, if you didn't know, I don't blame you because the NFL has certainly changed things a lot. We have a new addition. of hard knocks in season That just launched. and it features teams.
In the NFC East. NFC East teams, which you should know, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas Cowboys, Washington. There you have it. NFC East.
Now, this is the part that stinks. Speaking of education. Jackson Dart, Yeah, quarterback of the New York Giants. He's been in concussion protocol. Theo Johnson.
A tight end? for the New York Giants. They were caught on camera as they were mic'd up. Hang a conversation about geography.
Now, none of these guys are are native. To New York City. And so they're learning their surroundings, they're learning where they are. But let's just say they didn't come across as the most stopped. Aware of their surroundings.
Listen to this. So I've been trying to figure out like where Where does this wind come from, bro? Like, there's no. There's no like canyon, you know, there's like nothing that's like blowing through. It's just meadowlands.
We're in the meadowlands. Massive ocean that's like two miles away. The ocean's that way? Ocean? I thought the ocean is that way.
Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's a a river, ain't it? He said there's That's a river. On the other side of those buildings, it's nothing but blue water. Are you an ocean?
Dude, there's an ocean. I think the ocean was that way. Oh my god. Yeah. Like, look at the map.
Like, New York? The Atlantic Ocean. But where are we? Where are we? We're not on the water, though.
Howard? That's New York. I know. Right there, on the other side of that. I thought it was that way, Jersey.
No, no, no.
Okay, you're committed. Wow. The ocean is not on the other side of that place. Bro, you don't know what you're talking about. You're miles away.
If I go that way, what's past those buildings? New York City is Pennsylvania. Long Island, Jesus. Oh my god! Long Island's now.
Long Island? I thought Long Island was that way. No, Long Island's on the other side of that way.
Well, if you just jump in. Long Island. I have to drive through the city to go to Long Island. The city's right there. I did go.
I did go that way. But I thought it was that way. Oh, my God I can understand being in any city. And not understanding the full geography if you haven't lived there for a long time. I I get that, I understand that.
Me, I I like to know where the hell I'm at. I will look up anything on a map. I love looking at maps, I love topography, I love all of that stuff for a guy who just said he doesn't like school. But to to ask a qu the first question is what got me. There's no canyon here.
Where's the wind coming from? What? Where is the does the wind have to and I get it? Jackson Dart is from Utah.
Okay? Theo Johnson is from Canada. I'm pretty sure they're used to looking at mountains. They don't know nothing about no damn ocean. They certainly don't know anything about.
New York City, which just looks like a land of skyscrapers built out of Legos. I get that. But where's the wind coming from? Does he not know the wind blows and it just blows across the whole country and it comes from north and every now and then we get wind that comes from the Oshawa? Where's the wind coming from?
You know, the wind can get caught up and swept into a stadium and spin around. Am I stupid? I'm not outrocher. But what are we doing? Marco Belletti, is that did you hear him ask where the wind is coming from?
There's no mountain here. I did. I got to be fair, this whole conversation, I think I'm out of my depths because I don't know what the hell everybody's I was confused by the whole damn thing. That all of it made no sense. They were trying to figure out the first question.
Yeah, you're looking for wind. You're looking for like, where are you looking? I don't understand what they're doing. They were trying to understand where the wind is coming from if there is no mountain. Doesn't it feel like a dumb skit?
Like when you're standing around going, where's the wind coming from? Like when you utter that sentence, don't you look around and be like, What the hell did I just say? Yeah, but I guess I guess if i i in their minds If there is no mountain, and it's not like the mountain is like this is a Bucks Bunny cartoon, you know, where the mountain pops up eyes and he just goes, What's what I'm saying? Like, what's And I've never seen a mountain sprout hands and push air either, so. I mean, to their stupid point, like, there's no mountain where's the wind coming from.
I did not know mountains produce wind. I just thought it was here and it was created by pressure on planet Earth. I don't know. You know, insert the joke here. You wonder why you guys suck.
She's standing around talking about the wind. You don't even know the hell's going on.
Well, at least they I would say at least they know football, but they not they don't know that either, right? Two wins tells you they don't know much about that either. Jackson Dart will tell you he's only been in concussion protocol, what, one time? Uh he's I guess he's gone in to check. He's passed like three or four times.
Oh, okay. They checked him like four straight weeks. He only failed once.
Well, the next time he goes into the blue tent, they're going to ask him where the wind is. Which direction is the wind blowing? God, geez. He'll never play again. That'll throw him for loop.
None of them will play again. You won't know nothing. The whole thing's over. Hey, Bacha, you said that you. Biletti, did you know he was a nerd, a self-proclaimed nerd?
That's what he said. Who, Botch or Dart? No, for Dart. For Bacha, no, I did not know that. No.
Yeah, he told us in the show. Botcha, where's the wind come from? There's air basically in the atmosphere, the the ad like the moisture pop. There's hot air, cold air, they mix.
Sometimes they create some breeze. They move and they hit each other and it makes wind, especially off the ocean, because it's more moisture. Why don't you drive through the tunnel Go to the meadowlands and explain that to them. No. I I can't physically explain it.
It's just just life. You don't have to physically explain it. Wind just exists. Don't question it. It's kind of like Oxygen.
How is there CO2 in the air? How is there oxygen? Just don't question it. It's life. You know what?
If you want the answers to any of these questions, there's a movie I watched one time. I think, is it a. I think it's Prometheus.
Okay? Have you bachelor? You've seen that one? I've seen. Prometheus, yeah.
That's where the giant white alien thing with no human features. His DNA falls into the water, and then thus the beginning of life, right? And then what happened? And then. Space companies try to recreate that said species and then they make The xenomorph, and the xenomorph then kills a bunch of people.
Yeah, that makes sense to me. Marco, you never seen Prometheus? I did not. I did not. I don't know.
It's a prequel. It was. The prequel alien. Is it? Yeah.
Okay. I did not know that. It's great. It's great. Is this new?
Five, ten years. It's got to be close to 10. Damn. All right. No, I missed that one.
It's one of those creepy movies that you only watch it when you're stuck in a house sick. No, no, no.
I like that stuff, and I like Alien. I've seen a bunch of different Alien movies. That one just, I guess, maybe from the name. I don't know. It flew over my radar.
No, it's Prometheus, bro. Take two and a half hours out your day if you can and just one day just watch it. I'll definitely watch that. I still come back to like all those guys sitting around talking about the wind in East Rutherford, you're in the middle of a swamp. Like, no one's asking, like, why does it stink like hell around here?
Or, like, why are we in this area? Like, those are the questions that I could see asking.
Now, where's the wind coming from? Isn't that plastics/slash/oil refinery up and down the turnpike? There's a bunch of them. Yeah, but I don't think the stink from that is by the Meadowlands. No, I think it is.
Is it? Yeah. I don't know if, like, you're if you're in the practice facility, yeah, it's a different, that's a different smell. The swamp has got a different. Whatever the hell that is, it's got a different vibe to it.
It's got a different feel. You can taste the stuff on the turnpike. The swamp's a little different. I don't like that place out there, okay.
Well nobody thanks. I'm never coming back. Never coming back. That stuff was depressed. Every time I ever had to drive through New Jersey approaching New York City, I just got the heebie-jeebies.
Like driving up towards the George Washington Bridge made me just. Oh man, it was just like, what am I looking at? You know how you start seeing the buildings peeking over the, I can't even say the horizon. It's peeking over the concrete bridges of the turnpike exits. You start looking and going, oh, hey, there's World Trade Center.
Oh, my God. I see all the buildings. And then I'm looking to my left and I see Swamp and the stupid stadium. And it just looks stupid. Ah, home.
Oh no fact. I grew up here, so I I know all this Jersey stuff all over the place. It's not as bad. It's not as bad when it's part of your daily.
Okay. All right. It's when you leave, and you realize when you come back to it, and then you're like, what the hell? But just try not to leave. Don't go on vacation, which shouldn't be a problem.
You want me to come back? Yeah, come on back. And do what?
Well, but see, again, you left. You see better things. I don't leave. American Dream. Yeah, that's one thing.
American Dream. I live in a forest. Oh.
Well, Atlanta's a forest. It's a city. They just dumped it in the forest. They put some train tracks here, and people came. End of story.
Boom. There you have it. I think Botch wants you to see the big ski lift at the American Dream Mall. He wants you to see that. Oh, the SpongeBob amusement park?
What a waste of time. For any tourist who goes to New York City to get suckered out to New Jersey to look at a mall, it's one of the biggest hustles ever. You're in New York City. Stay in New York City and look at stuff. Why are you going to a mall for?
I can't argue any of that. I will say I've only been to that mall once. I went there for the aquarium. I got to be fair, JR. Pricey.
But for the kids, I was stunned how much stuff in the aquarium was actually awesome inside the mall. Is this one of those? Was there one of them giant whales in there? Wasn't a whale. There was definitely some.
It wasn't. I'm talking about something massive where you just go, oh my God. There was a, I wasn't, I don't want to say it was a full shark, but there was a shark that was big enough that you were like, when you walk underneath, whatever, the other hang, like you could see the aquarium kind of go above you and onto the side. You saw a pretty big shark swimming around. This sounds worse than Mike the Tiger in Louisiana.
They got a shark in the middle of a swamp inside a mall in New Jersey. Come on, man. This sounds horrific. No, no, no, no, no, no. An aquarium.
Yeah, but it's ba but why is it there? I you know, I don't I look, when you gotta take little kids to a place and you you need to, you know, sp Basically, kill a day. I didn't realize that they would have an enormous aquarium in a mall, but I will give you a fair thing. I'm saying it killed a day because the kids were enthralled. And there's a lot of fish.
A lot. I knew there was a SpongeBob Nickelodeon thing in there. I knew that. I knew there was a stupid ski lift because I watched it sit unoccupied, looking like a staircase to hell. Yeah.
For what? 20 years. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the first thing that they built out there.
And you just drive by forever. Are they done? Are they running out of money? What are they going to do? Are they going to turn it into?
What are they going to do with that? Yeah. And so, but I had no idea they put an aquarium in it, which that makes it even worse. Eventually, again, it was maybe a year ago. I found out that day.
It was one of those we need to kill a day with these three kids. What the hell are we doing? We found the aquarium on the drive and just kind of pulled in. I didn't really, I will say, it killed the day. They enjoyed it.
If you're in the Jersey area and you got nothing to do and you got smulch kids and you want to kill the day, Aquarium's a good place. Kids love aquarium. My kid asked me to go to the aquarium every other week, and then when I say, Do you want to go to the aquarium? He goes, No, thanks. I go, man, forget you, bro.
It's like the zoo, man. Yeah, get up. Yeah. Anyway, it's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you, coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to come back, talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

The JR Sport Brief show here with you, coast to coast, on the Infinity Sports Network. Hey, it's December 4th, it's 2025.
Let's go to a few things that took place this day in sports history. Back, back, back, back. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore. But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history.
See, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything, and it was primitive and lousy, and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. December 4th, 1988, Barry Sanders, rushing for Oklahoma State, he won the Heisman Award. Take a listen to a speech.
The 1988 winner Of the Heisman Award is Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State. University. I thank God for putting me in this position. Uh You know, I couldn't have done it without him. Secondly, I'd like to thank my offensive line and my fullback, Garrett Limbrick.
You know, they've done such a great job. Uh You know, I couldn't have asked for a better season out of those guys. And I'd like to thank William and Shirley Sanders. for being so inspirational in my life and bringing me up the way they know I should be brought up. Thanks a lot.
Oh, I love the sentimental music. December 4th, 2010, Cam Newton, he threw for 335 yards, four touchdowns. We had Auburn go out there and beat South Carolina. And Cam Newton, he was on ESP, and they asked him why he should win the Heisman. Six total touchdowns to just cap off a tremendous season.
And a lot of people will probably say that maybe you don't deserve to win the Heisman because of what happened. What do you say to that? I'm an SEC champ. That's all that matters. There's some resilient guys on this team.
I said that a billion times. But without these guys on this team, I wouldn't have the success that I did. I just want to thank God and thank the players on this team and Coach Chiswick and the whole coach staff for giving me a chance. Yeah, ultimately, Cam Newton walked away with that Heisman. December 4th, 2013, you might remember this on Thanksgiving.
Mike Tomlin got in the way of Jacoby Jones on the sideline. He kind of stepped into the way.
Well, The Ravens? They ended up winning 22 to 10. And Mike Tomlin, he got fined $100,000 for getting in the way. I know people may want to bring this up if they want to make a case for him being fired. This is what Mike Tomlin, matter of fact, this is Mike on interfering, getting in Jacoby Jones' way.
He said, I ain't know what's going on. My descriptions of my actions on that play are a lot of things: embarrassing, inexcusable. Um illegal, um a blunder. Being many of the things that I use to describe it. I think probably my biggest error on Thursday night is not realizing that that play.
Jeopardize the integrity of the game from a perception standpoint. But here we go. Don't say that now. People will fire you. December 4th, 2016, Tom Brady picks up his 2001st victory.
New England went past LA 26 to 10. Listen to Tom Brady talk about how great he is. I'm grateful to, you know, for all my teammates and my coaches. and for my family and friends. Um Been a lot of football over the years, so um You know, it's always been about winning and And uh you know I've been very fortunate to be on a lot of great teams, so I feel very grateful.
Yeah, that's all Tom Brady. Win, win, win. He's winning everything except for the Raiders. But give him time. And there you have it, folks.
