Stressless. eight eight eight seven ten four I SN That's 888-710-4ISN. David is here. From the City of Angels in Los Angeles. You're on the JR Sport Breeshow, David.
What's up? Uh Hey, good evening, JR. Thank you so much for taking my call for one last time here. I want to get to my message of thanks in just a moment, but let me briefly talk about the Eagles for a moment here. The win against the Raiders last week was big for the Eagles.
I know it's the Raiders. I'm not going to make that much of it, but to shut out an opponent, to hold them to under one hundred yards of offense, that's huge. Hopefully, they can build on this momentum against Washington. My hope is this: let's assume the Eagles win against Washington on Saturday, which they should do. My belief is that should they win against Washington, they should start considering resting starters to get ready for the playoffs.
Well, we've discussed that. I don't want to call that I'm not to be mean or a jerk. We discussed that yesterday, a couple of days ago. The rest of this. Did not know that.
Yeah, the rest of the season is basically a cakewalk. Like, there's no point. They got to take on Buffalo and it's sandwiched in between two appearances against Washington. Washington made it v very clear there's no more Jaden Daniels. They're not playing for anything.
And so wh why the hell do the Eagles want to do anything but just try to hope things settle down before the postseason? There's nothing for them to do. Yeah, yeah. My my belief is The number two seed might be a bit of a stretch. Number one seed is probably impossible at this point.
So why not just rest their starters, get ready for the postseason, hopefully make another run? Anyway, that's my point about the Eagles. I have to say thank you so much, JR, for this unbelievable, wonderful show. I'm sorry I discovered it so late in its cycle. I only started calling in this year.
Never imagined I'd become a regular caller, but I definitely appreciate you hosting this great show, being able to give us this platform to, as fans, to kind of voice our thoughts on the world of sports. I'll never forget my first call coming in. I was in a panic mode because the Eagles had just traded CJ Gardner Johnson, and you kind of assured me, like, hey, don't worry about it. They're still the Eagles. They're going to be fine in the long run.
Giving us this platform, being able to talk to you this whole time. I just appreciate everything that you do, everything that you allow us to discuss with you. And I'm going to miss it a lot, JR. Unfortunately, I won't be able to call in on Monday because I won't be driving home from work during this time when the show is on. But kudos to you, kudos to Botcher, kudos to everyone who works on this show for putting this whole thing together.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything. Have a great Christmas, have a great New Year, happy holidays. You as well. And by the way, aren't you glad you don't have that complaining ass CJ Gardner Johnson on the team? Uh Kind of, sort of, yeah, but he kind of knew what our offense was running when the Bears were playing us.
So I was a little frustrated about that. He's talking his way out of the NFL. Hey, David, thank you for the kind words. You as well. Have a wonderful holiday and keep in touch.
I'm not a difficult person to find, okay? Thank you so much, Jay. I will. Thank you, David. Appreciate you for calling from LA.
Yeah, that's nice of him. Yeah, I remember he called up. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Hey, we have Alex.
Calling from Phoenix. Arizona. You're on the JR Sport Ree Show. What's up, Alex? Hi, JR, longtime listener, first time caller to the show.
been listening to you since the pandemic of twenty twenty. My question was about the Packers. Do you think they will win the NFC North once they sweep the Bears this weekend? You've already hit the fast forward button on that one, huh? Are you thinking ahead?
I have, I have. Listen. I am not. This is difficult. And we've had this conversation a couple of times this week, especially with Michael Parsons going down.
My opinion on on the Packers has has shifted. It's not so much for me about the Green Bay Packers winning the NFC North because whether or not they were above the Bears or below the Bears, they're going to be one of these wildcard teams. That's my belief. I think they're going to be a wildcard team. They're going to get into the postseason that much, we know.
Regardless of how they got there, how I feel about them has kind of downshifted. Because they don't have that game record on the edge anymore. They don't have 12 plus Sachs and Michael Parsons. And I think in years past, we've really seen if you as a defense can have that one game record, you can have multiple great players, good players, but you need that X factor. You need one guy to be the next best player, or maybe the best player on the team to win.
And I think the Packers are now missing that on the defensive side of the ball.
So I'm not on that high on them. I think it really sucks that they have brought in and invested so much into Michael Parsons from the trade to the picks to the contract. And now he's gone. It sucks. It really does.
I I just I'm not a I was looking forward to see if they can go on a run, but I'm not I'm not optimistic about it.
So are you picking the Bears to win the division then or? Uh, I'm not thinking about the division. I don't think about things that way. It's like you wanted the best, and everybody can go on a run. I mean, outside of that one team that's going to get a buy, and it's going to be one of the two teams that are actually playing right now, that doesn't matter to me.
Like, at the end of the day, one team is going to get a bye all the way through the postseason, and the rest of that is irrelevant. And we know that's not going to be the case for the Green Bay Packers either way.
So. I'm I'm not all that concerned about who wins the NFC North. I I don't think it matters. I understand. Yeah, that's a complete way.
I mean, for you, you're a Green Bay Packers fan, you don't like the Bears, you're a Bears fan, you don't like Green Bay, it's irrelevant to me who wins that division. It doesn't matter. That makes sense. Yeah.
Well, sorry.
Sorry I put a I put a dent in your thoughts, but I mean, what do you feel? You you feel good about the Packers? You feel good about 'em? No, actually you didn't. I I was just asking a question.
I was just wanting your opinion and I I'm glad you gave it honestly. Yeah.
No doubt.
Well, who's your team? Who are you rooting for? Yeah.
Oh My team And it's been gone for For a while. Oh, wow. It it's the G-Men, but uh go, Pack, go. You asking me all these questions about another old ass NFL team. And your team is another old ass squad that uh that teams are looking at going the quarterback as a running back.
But I do like Bart Winkler, and he's a Packer fan coming up next. And Okay. You're just you're just doing everything to avoid the Giants, huh?
Well, they're out of it, so there's not really much to avoid at this point.
Well, I mean, the franchise isn't going anywhere. They're going to have an offseason. They've got a couple more games to play. They're going to head towards a draft. I mean, they're thinking about their quarterback of the future.
They're hoping their wide receiver comes back. They're trying to figure things out with the coach.
So, I mean, there's a lot to discuss, even though they're not going to the postseason, Alex. That that Well, it's just a broken franchise.
Well, enjoy enjoy uh what's left of the season and uh Good luck next year for the Giants. Enjoy the Packers, okay, Alex? And maybe I'll talk to you on Monday. Possibly. I will be right the hell on here.
And after that, not again. Alex, have a good weekend, okay? You too. Thank you so much. Alex Coleman from Phoenix asking me about the Packers, but he's a.
New York Giants fan. They're found by me. Don't matter to me. 888-710-4ISN. That's eight eight eight seven ten.
For ISN. Let's go to South Carolina. I don't know if it's. Columbia, I don't know. Let's talk to Mike.
Mike, you're on the JR Sportbreak Show. What's up? Yeah, J.R., how you doing? I'm good. How are you feeling?
I'm doing flying. I'm a first time caller.
Well, thank you. And and I wanted to let you know that I listen to you every night. It's six o'clock here in South Carolina. And when you're not there, it's not the same program. I really like you a lot, and I wish you all the luck.
and I hope you have a Merry Christmas. You as well, Mike. Thank you so much for calling. I appreciate you for listening. You have a terrific Christmas, okay, Mike?
All right, take care. You too, be well. Shout outs to Mike for calling from South Kackalackie. eight eight eight seven ten four I S N that's eight eight eight seven ten four I S N. We are down to only Well, damn it, we got one show.
So we got four hours and about. Bout forty minutes here. Of the JR Sport Brief Show left. If you want to call up, you can. eight eight eight seven ten four ISN.
Of course, I'll be here for the remainder of this show, which is about another forty minutes, and then I'll be back for the finale on Monday.
Now listen, on Monday, I ain't doing nothing spectacular. You know, last night I gave you a top six list, some of my favorite interviews of all time. You know, told some stories of about, you know, how I got here from YouTube and. And just, we had fun yesterday. We had fun today taking your calls.
And when we do, when we get to Monday, we're going to do a lot of the same. I'm just gonna play some of my favorite calls. You know, I've always looked at sports radio as a way to interact with people. You know, I come from online, I come from a digital space. I had to build my audience.
From scratch, I had to build it by communicating and not just having a one-way dialogue with people, but actually building conversation. And I just always thought that that was the way that I wanted to do radio, and that's what I've done. I always wanted to share my opinion and share my thoughts and then solicit the thoughts and the opinions of others because I thought. From an auditory standpoint, I think it's one of the best things possible. Like, I don't want to be on the radio just talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking.
I want to hear and learn. I want to know and get the opinions of others. I want to make it entertaining. I've always looked at radio. as an art form where you can pretty much have a community quilt.
like we can all bust out one giant quilt, in the church and the library. And then we can have one person who is kind of leading the charge, who starts everything off. But then at the end of the day, you want everybody to put their own patch on the quilt. You want to make a piece of art. And every time I I I came on the radio, I come on the radio.
I wanted to uh you know start the conversation. I wanted to kind of put the first markings on the canvas, and then I wanted everybody else to kind of come through and do the same, whether it was our producer Bacher. Whether it's our listeners, whether it's our news guys, my main man Marco Belletti, whether it's our guests, you know, it's art. And it's the theater of the mind, it's the theater of getting your brain going, and that's always been my approach.
So I appreciate everybody who's called, everybody who's listened, and we got up out.
Well damn it. four more hours plus what we have left for it today. 888-710-4ISN. You can find me online, whatever social media you got. There's a good chance I got it too.
Just go ahead and punch in. JR Sport Brief. Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. I am all over the damn place. Right now, Thursday night football.
Los Angeles Rams are attacking. They are down 7 to 6. The Seahawks lead the Rams 7 to 6. It's about five and a half minutes to go here in the first quarter. Los Angeles Rams have two field goals.
Zach Charbonnet has a rushing touchdown. Early in the first quarter, that gave the Seahawks this 7-6 lead.
So, not a lot going on here. The Rams have maintained possession of the ball. a whole hell of a lot. I don't know what's the exact number. Hey, it's just I don't think the Seahawks have had the ball.
For more than the total of let's see, what is it? Yeah, f six minutes. Yet Los Angeles has had the ball for twenty minutes. and Seattle has had the ball for the other six.
So Seattle is gonna have to uh get some get some things going when they get the ball back. If they want to uh check Keep this one competitive. It's going to be a good one. Two close teams. 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. Elijah is calling from New York City. You on the J.R. Sporty Show. What's up, Elijah?
Yo, what's up, J O? How are you? I'm pretty good. I can't complain. I just want to say, brother, I've been a big fan of you for years.
And this is going back to when you was on YouTube. Like, I was in middle school or high school watching you stuff.
Well, thank you. Well, now that means your ass is old, man. You old. Oh, no, no, no. I I turn dirty next month.
Okay, yeah, you are old.
Okay. I'm giving you a tough time, Elijah. Go ahead. Yeah.
So, I want to talk to you about the New York Knicks. I'm still riding the high of that NBA Cup win. Do you think that win was a statement throughout the rest of the week that we hear? Nah, I don't think it's a statement. I just think it's a nice, it's a nice stepping stone.
I think it's a hey, you know, we won the NBA Cup. And we're a legitimate threat. You know, we didn't choke. We didn't embarrass ourselves. We won the damn thing.
And I think the league has to take them serious. I don't know if I'd call it a statement. But I will say I think it's more of a confidence builder for the Knicks to say, okay, fine, we did this, we won this, now we got to keep on winning. And that's it. I mean, look, when the Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau last year, It was very apparent.
They didn't need to fire him. They fired him and then they improved the roster. It's one of the biggest criticisms: how he utilized the roster, and then they ended up going out there and proving it. Look, man, it it's finals a bust. Otherwise, people are going to start looking at Carl Anthony Towns, going, What are you doing?
I think Jalen Brunson will always get a little bit of a break unless he just has a horrific series or postseason. I don't expect that. And so I think the heat will come down on on Mike Brown and Carl Anthony Towns, but This is a good chance for the New York Knicks to go to the finals, something that they haven't done since 99.
So, statement: not so much. Confidence builder? Yeah, I I'd say that a little bit more so. And so If things don't go the way of the Knicks, and they just so happen to not make the finals. And that's the honest anti de Cumpo is still in Milwaukee.
And not offseason, do we do that trade? I If he's just so happy and it's Stay put.
Well, I I think that he might be gone before then. I don't know if Giannis is gonna last up until the trade deadline. And if you're the New York Knicks, you have to kind of tread softly and lightly. You know, do you wanna screw up what you currently have? I mean, if you think about the depth pieces that they'd likely have to give up and You know, are they the same shooting team if they bring in Giannis and have to give up Carl Anthony Towns?
Do the Milwaukee Bucks, would they want Carl Anthony Towns? Is there not a better deal for the Milwaukee Bucks elsewhere outside of making a deal with the New York Knicks? I mean, there are a lot of question marks there. I think the trade would have been easier to make if it took place in the summer, as we heard it rumored was. I actually think it's a tougher thing to do now.
And I just don't know if Giannis is going to last all the way to the summer. And even if he does, you know, now that the cat is out the bag, so to speak. I think it's going to be even more difficult for the New York Knicks to land him. I I'd be surprised. Period now or later, next year.
I I'd be surprised if he ends up on the next.
Okay, well thank you for taking my call, thank you for answering my questions. I love this show. I'm gonna follow you on the socials to see where you're heading to next, brother. Um well, thank you. You do great work.
Oh, thank you, man.

Hey, we got this Thursday night football game going on right now in Seattle. We've just hit the two minute warning. The Rams lead the Seahawks thirteen to seven. Seattle is just trying to get it going. They have not been able to maintain the ball and time of possession leans heavily in favor of the Los Angeles Rams.
Jackson, Smith and Jigba has zero receptions here. You know, in this first half of the game so far, the Rams scored a touchdown about 90 seconds ago. Matthew Stafford, who I believe is going to be the MVP at the end of the season, he connects with Terrence Ferguson. For a three-yard touchdown pass. And as it stands right now, with about a minute to go in the first.
Now the Seahawks are trying to get some more points. up on the board. Right now they're at about the forty-three yard line. Trying to advance in their own territory. We'll let you know what happens once they.
They reach halftime. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. And right now, it's time to talk to someone very special.

Well, we only got two more nights left to tingles.
Well, for you at least, I'm gonna make sure all my nights are tingling, okay?
Alright, and in a few minutes we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. Hey, let let let Nice Cube play. It was a good day. Let this play. Yeah, just waking up in the morning gotta thank God.
I don't know, but to day keems seems kinda hot. No barkin' from the dog, no smog. and mamma cooked a breakfast with no hog. Go ahead, Botser, finish. Go ahead.
I forgot the rest. I gotta watch, uh, what is that? The movie with De Niro, where he sings it? Oh, the song's about to end. Oh.
It's okay, Bacha. It's okay. That's ice cube. It was a good day. I know the song, I just don't know the words past that part.
No, no, no, I I've heard the song, I just don't know the words to the song, like word for word. That is uh that is one of the best written songs in any genre of all time. It kind of gives me, okay, in a weird way, don't hate on this. It kinda reminds me of the Will Smith In West Philadelphia, kind of like that. It's like a story.
You know? What don't sigh. Is there not some similarities? That predates. Will Smith That predates Fresh Prince of Belair.
So, so. Tell me, Will Smith copied Ice Cube. Kind of. I'm not gonna say Will Smith in any way, shape, or form copied Ice Cube. That is an impossible thing to say.
Two totally different things, completely. I don't know. To me, I might be a little deaf. But they sound kind of similar. Oh, the the style.
Okay. Two black guys, one from California, one from Philly? No, there's like the rap song, the song. Tells a story. One's about his day, it was a great day, and the other one's about he had to go live in his My uh auntie uncle in Bel Air.
Okay. Alrighty then.
Okay. You doing okay, Bacha? You having a good day? You happy with the show? Oh, great show.
Okay. How were you I mean, how were you feeling otherwise? You all right? Otherwise, uh Normal? Is that is that a normal thing?
Yeah, normal is good. Normal is good. 888-710-4ISN. That's 8 at 8710-4ISM. Before we talk about a few things that took place in sports history, let me also remind you the Rams currently need the Seahawks 13-7.
Rams have had the ball for 22 minutes. The Seahawks have had the ball for eight minutes. The Seahawks haven't even gotten a chance to do anything. And when they've had the ball, well, ask Cooper Cup. They just gave it up.
888-710-4ISN is the number. Man, we got one more show left on Monday, and that's it. Everybody keeps asking: where can you find me? Where can you keep up? What's next?
What are you doing next?
Well, Be patient. Stay tuned. And follow me at JR Sport Brief, okay? At JR Sport Brief. Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube.
All the places. Mark is here from California. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. What's up, Mark? What's going on, JR?
Just uh You know, off of a fresh off of a very good win right now, these New York Knickerbunkers, man. Good. I'm hype. You know? I don't know if I could be as hyped as last year, because last year's score was pretty good, but this year, This kid Tyler Kolick near him.
I love a coach that played. You're calling to tell me about the Knicks backup point guard? 16 points, 11 of this was the best win all season. We just went into a building. That are like, it's like the house of horrors for us.
You know what I mean? We can never win this building. We're missing Josh Hart, missing Mitchell Robinson. Cat. doesn't matter.
Still getting a down sixteen at the half. Damn hard at thirty one. I mean listen. I thought we were losing this game. But.
All right. Why not? But hey. Let's just get there.
Okay. Well, I'm I'm glad I mean we had one guy who said uh this day in sports history gives him tingles. I I never thought that the uh The backup point guard for the New York Knicks would give somebody tingles, but I'm happy for you, Mark.
Well, I mean, we need a point guard. I mean, Miles McBride's out.
So, you know, question to JR: Is Brunson an MVP candidate? Yeah, I mean, he was MVP candidate last year, wasn't he? What did he end up? Fifth place, fourth place? He got votes.
Yeah, yeah. What about chat two? 19 double double? You're doing too much now. Unless something crazy happens, Shea Gilgas Alexander will probably win MVP again, especially if they approach anywhere near 73 wins.
So I think it's kind of early. Let's see how the season bears out. But no, Brunson is definitely, we know he's one of the best players in the game. Last year with the NBA Awards, they gave out these stupid awards now. He ended up being Mr.
Clutch. We know he's great. I could care less about MVP. Let's see what the Knicks do in the playoffs. Do you believe in the Lakers are a threat to OKC?
No, not at all. I don't think the Lakers have enough depth. I don't think they have enough youth. I don't think they have enough size. They're certainly going to be perfectly fine in the regular season.
But when the Lakers get to the postseason, I think the younger teams would probably run them out of the building, especially the the Reining Champs. One last question to you. What about do you think San Antonio or Denver is more of a threat to To Casey in the West?
Okay. That's a tough one. I mean, we have to see. Denver is pretty much and probably at maturity, given some of their players. Yeah, they got younger players and guys you need to see what they can do.
I don't know if San Antonio is ready yet. It depends on how their younger players continue to develop throughout the course of the season. I mean, we've seen what they can do. They beat them on Saturday to advance to the cup final. They also happen to be a very young team.
They play fundamental basketball. We just have to see how they play in a postseason. That part. We have not seen yet.
So I think Denver would probably be a better matchup given that Jokic is one of the most consistent players that the NBA has ever seen, consistent and efficient. And they know what they are doing.
So I'd probably lean towards Denver. But there's plenty of room for San Antonio to grow. I think anything that the Spurs do this year is a plus, it's a bonus. I think it's what do they do next year? Yeah, I haven't even talked about Houston.
Well, they're 69,000 too. I haven't even spoken about that. No need. We'll see what they do if they're healthy with Durant and those young guys around him. We'll see.
And if they the point guard situation for them.
Well, thank you, Mark. Thanks, Eric. No doubt.
Shoutouts to Mark for calling from California. It's the end of the show. It's time for a few things that took place this day in sports history. Oh boom. Shut up.
Back fast back. Back in the days when I wish 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 18th, 1976, Ken Stabler had 14 seconds left in the game for the Raiders, and he helped stage a comeback victory over the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Playoffs. The Raiders ended up winning 24-21. Listen to Ken Stabler in that rushing touchdown. On second down from the New England one, Kenny Stabler dealt New England the crushing blow.
Ken Stabler and the Oakland Raiders specialize in come from behind last second wins. The snake once again had slithered into the victory column with a superb clutch performance. one of the gutsiest in modern football history. December 18th, 1983, Wayne Gretzky. He becomes the first, well excuse me, he becomes the fastest player.
To get to 100 points faster than anybody in NHL history. He helps the Oilers with a 7-5 victory over the Winnipeg Jets. He had two goals and two assists. Wayne Gretzky says, the great one: I don't care about records, I care about the team.
Well, I think that all the records are in range. I think the fact that uh the hockey club is playing well as a as a team makes it easier for us as individuals in the sense that you can't concentrate putting one or two guys on myself or Yeri and uh With the other guys playing well, it opens up a lot more room for us.
Now let's go from one great to another. December 18th, 1995, Jerry Rice. The man holds in 289 yards receiving, catches three touchdown passes, and the 49ers beat the Vikings 37-30. At the time, it was the fifth highest yardage game by a receiver in history. Listen to Jerry Rice haul in one of his three touchdown passes.
This is very smart. And a big Dungeon on the right. Big defensive play here to try to keep him out of field goal range on third and fourth. And you get Oh, cherry rice again. Touchdown.
Well they came with just a conventional four-man rush that time. Got no pressure on Steve Young and paid dearly for it. And a 31-yard touchdown. Yeah, the greatest NFL player of all time. There you have it, Jerry Rice.
Sorry, Tom Breakie. December 18th, 2016. The New England Patriots, they beat the Broncos 16-3. They won the AFC East for the eighth. straight Time.
Okay, the Patriots, all they do is win, win, win. It was the longest streak in NFL history. Yeah, pain in the ass. That only team won 13 division titles in a 14-year span, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Listen to this courtesy of Pats Radio.
Shotgun snap to Simeon. Floats one to the left. Catches made by Norwich. Circles to the right at the 30. Lost the ball.
Frumbled into the arms of McCourty, who sits down at the Patriot 22. Look at this defense. Look how excited this defense is. Ball poked out by Kyle Van Neum from behind the second fumble of the day, lost by Jordan Norwood, who started the afternoon with a muff punt that led to the Patriots' first score. There you go, AFC East Champs again.
No, damn it. Winning, winning, winning. How about this? Speaking of winning. December 18, 2022, they had to play the game in Qatar in the winter.
It was the FIFA Club World Cup final. Yeah, you couldn't play this in the summer, otherwise, everybody would die in the heat.
Okay, Argentina. That guy named Messi, they go out there and they beat France 4-2 in a penalty shootout. They will all tied up three three. Having to go after extra time, Messi had two goals for Argentina and Mbappe. He scored three goals for France in the loss.
Let's listen to Messi's second goal in the World Cup as he finally got himself. or World Cup. 4. Latoro Martinez is going to get to that one, knocks it down from Messi. Into the middle, Fernandez.
Latoro Martinez. T-A-N-G- Save Messi, clearly. Why did it cross the line? Did it cross the line? Yes, it did.
Our continuous lead! Yeah, a few years after that, Messi's just like, yeah, whatever. You know, I'm just gonna play in Miami and vacation and... Messi just won best player of the league, and Miami just won the MLS Cup, and Messi's going shopping at Publix, and Messi's going to India, and they're building statues for Messi, and it's just uh. Yeah, a lot of people in America have no idea the the stardom Of these soccer stars.
Imagine LeBron James. Oh, they put a statue of him in China, and then they put a statue of him in Brazil, and then they put another statue in Africa, and then they put a statue in China. I mean, this is the celebrity. That soccer players have globally outside of the United States of America. It's just.
It's crazy. It's nuts. Speaking of crazy and nuts. Seattle answers back quickly. Only had the ball for two minutes.
And they have tied the game. I think it was Kenny Walker. Yeah, Kenneth Walker. scores a long rushing touchdown. And now the Seattle Seahawks are going to have an opportunity to take a 14-3.
Lead. Wow.
