And if you have a smart speaker, all you have to do is ask it to play CBS Sports Radio. I get started 10 Eastern, 7 Pacific. Thank you to super producer and host Dave Shepherd.

He's coming to you live from New York City. And thank you so much to Basketball Hall of Famer, Nuggets legend, Dan Issel for joining us last hour. And this has really been, it's been quite a time here over the past two nights.

Let's think about this. I'm going to tell you something else that just ended. The Las Vegas Golden Knights are your Stanley Cup champions. Last night, the Denver Nuggets became your NBA champions. NBA season, done. NHL season, done. I'll tell you something else that just finished. The Oakland Athletics, done. Well, oh wow.

I don't know if this is good. The Oakland Athletics just won a baseball game here. They just beat the Rays at home in Oakland. And what is to be a reverse boycott game? Boycott game. And so the Oakland A's have now won seven consecutive games.

Don't worry about it. They still suck. And tonight the purpose was for fans to show up and basically say, screw you. I was going to say something else to say, screw you to owner John Fisher. The fans are in the stands with shirts that say sell. Fans after the winning of the game where Oakland won, they were throwing cups and beer, et cetera, out onto the field. And unfortunately this is not going to do a damn thing to keep the Oakland Athletics in Oakland at this point in time, because it's been reported that Vegas and the county has pretty much come up with the cash to help finance their ballpark in Vegas. And so the Oakland Athletics ballpark bill passed in the Nevada Senate and it looks like it's going to be curtains.

We even had a fan who ran out onto the field at the end of the ninth or the top of the ninth. And it's just sad. There's no other way around it. What has taken place here with the Oakland Athletics as they get ready to go to Vegas, fans asking for Fisher to sell the team, too late. And it's the worst thing possible. Even Hal Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees, pretty much said, listen, I am fine if baseball wants to put in a salary cap so the Yankees and the Dodgers and the Mets just don't go out and outspend everybody.

But he said, we also need a salary floor because what's going on with some teams like out in Oakland isn't fair that you have teams that just won't spend. And this is such a, I don't want to call it pathetic. It's just real sad. The Oakland Athletics are being interviewed on the field after the game right now. And in the outfield, fans are just still throwing just trash onto the field. It sucks. There's no other way to put it. So to think that the Oakland Athletics are going to be leaving Oakland is just, it stinks.

I haven't been out in the Bay in a few years, pre-COVID really. And it was always just cool to say, oh man, the Giants are on. Oh man, the A's are on.

And you get double bang for your buck. But hey, all good things I guess got to come to an end. Not really, but that's what it is. So let's go through this again. The NBA season over. The NHL season over. It looks like the Oakland Athletics closer to being over out in the Bay.

And then this also took place on Tuesday. Shannon Sharpe, his time on Fox FS1 with Skip Bayless, that's also over. You know, we learned about two weeks ago that when the NBA finals were done, Shannon would be done too.

And if you take a look at all of his tweets and things that he liked, it's pretty much that he's sick of this guy Skip Bayless. I think a lot of people are, but today at least on his way out the door, Shannon Sharpe on FS1, he gave an emotional goodbye and thank you to the man who drove him nuts. Later than gentlemen, this is officially my last day at work.

After seven years, the train stops for Shannon Sharpe and Undisputed right here. I just love everybody. I'm going to miss this. I'm going to miss this.

I'm going to miss this. To the fans that made all this possible, you've embraced me and allowed me to become your favorite TV uncle. And for that, I'm forever grateful. And last but not least, Skip Bayless, you fought for me, brother.

Did I? I'm here because of you. You've allowed me to share the stage with you. You allow me to share the platform.

I'm going to cry in the car, but I'm not going to cry now. The opportunity that you gave me to become what I became, I'm forever indebted to you. I'll never forget what you did for me. You've helped me grow more than you ever know. All I ask is when you lay your head on that pillow at night, you know, I gave you everything I had. You did.

I gave you everything I had. Which is why I want to thank you. Oh. Oh. If you saw about the guy got on his I guess that's classy by Shannon Sharp to thank him. I give him credit for that because it certainly appears that the man ran him up a wall. What you heard there is pretty much a one off.

What you are going to hear from a few months ago seemingly was more a normal whether it was public on television or whether it was behind the scenes. Think about what you just heard. The thank you.

The grace and the graciousness. Now think about this trash right here. Listen to this.

Still playing at a high level at 45 when you had to stop at 35. That's what you that's the point. That's what you do every time somebody every time I call something in the question, I'm jealous. No, I did. I never said you were jealous of Baker Mayfield. I did what I did. You make it seem like I was a bum. I'm in the F Hall of Fame.

He's way better than you were. You take personal shots. You would take a personal shot at me. Wait a minute.

You're talking about you would take a personal glasses back on. Can I finish? You're willing to take a personal shot at me to say this man is better than me because I say he's playing bad because you just go disrespect him. It's just so you know what is beneath me to support him? No.

Well, I'll support him over anybody because he's the greatest player ever played your game and it's by far going to have at it because I'm going to have that you. Yeah. Can you imagine having to deal with that stress every day? And even if it doesn't come across or come through the show, just the animosity of man. Okay. Yeah, sure.

This guy was an advocate for me to get the job, but now he's just he's a complete pain in the ass and he's he might be jealous and he's making more money. And but it's just whatever Shannon Sharpe does, I wish him nothing but the best. And so let's let's go through this one more time. NBA Finals in the NBA season. Done.

Shannon Sharpe on FS1. Done. The Oakland Athletics.

It appears with Vegas or Nevada saying, yeah, we'll give you some public money. It looks like Oakland, the A's of Oakland are done. And then I told you about the Stanley Cup. Yeah, Florida Panthers, they're done. A matter of fact that that ass whooping, they lost nine to three. That's abuse. At some point, you need to call in the mercy rule.

Nine to three. The Vegas Knights won the Stanley Cup tonight. Hey, listen to the final call from the radio network. The noble charge from Bill Foley was cup in six. They talk about dreaming. The Golden Knights are going to make that dream a reality.

A devotion to destiny. Misfits the champions. The Vegas Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup in 2023. The first Stanley Cup championship in Golden Knights history comes in their sixth season.

The Silver State is home to the greatest silver trophy in all of sports. The mob is behind Aiden Hill's goal. All the players swarming one another, jubilant in celebration. The fans on their feet can't stop.

The streamers down from the rafters, sticks and gloves and flamingos. The Golden Knights are Stanley Cup champions. Yeah, that's wild. The team got started in 2017. They went to the Stanley Cup finals in their first season. They lost, but here they are. Yeah, six seasons in, now they finally win it. If only every expansion franchise can have that that type of success. I mean, the Jacksonville Jaguars had early success and then they hit the toilet. And then it's like, oh damn, they're competitive again.

And then they hit the toilet again. And now they got Trevor Lawrence. So hopefully they're good for the next 10 years.

And so let me go through this again. NHL season over. NBA season over.

Oakland Athletics, soon to not be Oakland Athletics. They are basically over. NBA over.

Shannon Sharp on FS1 over. Let me see, what else? Oh man. I mean, you know what?

I'm actually going to get into this after the break. Is Stefan Diggs in Buffalo? Is he over? This was probably the biggest story in the NFL today.

And it's around Stefan Diggs and treating him like Waldo. Was he at the facility? Was he not at the facility? Did he practice? Did he not practice? Well, Josh Allen says he was there and their friends and head coach Sean McDermott says he's very concerned.

Like we're still beefing from stuff from last season, but I'll explain and we'll hear from Josh Allen on the other side of the break. I do want to get this in here because this is news that recently broke over the past hour or so. We all know about LivGolf and I'm not going to tell you that the PGA or Liv is over. We know about this merger, if you want to call it that, between the PGA and Liv. We've already heard from the PGA Commissioner Jay Monahan about this deal that took place where the Saudi Public Investment Fund is basically investing money into the PGA and the PGA could no longer afford its lawsuits against Liv. Not the purses, not the lawsuits. They basically ran out of cash and said, I ain't got no more, take me.

And that's exactly what took place. And so Commissioner Jay Monahan has been under ridiculous scrutiny over the past week for being a hypocrite. PGA Tour players have basically said the PGA sold them out.

Well, here's some unfortunate news. Jay Monahan is now recovering from an undisclosed medical condition. Jay Monahan and the PGA announced this tonight. Ron Price is going to be running the PGA in his absence along with Tyler Dennis who's the Vice President and their statement reads as follows. Jay Monahan informed the PGA Tour policy board that he is recuperating from a medical situation. The board fully supports Jay and appreciates everyone respecting his privacy. The two dudes that I just mentioned will lead day-to-day operations of the PGA Tour with the assistance of the great team Jay has built ensuring seamless continuity.

We will provide further updates as appropriate. Jay Monahan is 53 years old. I ain't gonna call that old. Some people might, I will not. But I'll tell you this, and I will not speculate on what took place. I think we can all assume what may be the case is or maybe we don't.

I know this much. I know this man has been stressed. I know this man has been getting his ass kicked in the court of public opinion and so could it be a coincidence? Yeah, sure.

Could it not be? Yeah, sure. I wish this man nothing but the best but when you go out there and you kind of talk out of both sides of your mouth and you gotta deal with it, how many people have even known who Jay Monahan is outside of last week? Not a lot. I got a question for you, JR.

Please. So yeah, I mean, you mentioned talking out of both sides of your mouth. Obviously, you have played this clip multiple times when he links and correlates Saudi Arabia with what took place given 9-11 22 years ago.

You mentioned it. He is stressed. He is completely frustrated. He is frazzled. He is at a point where he doesn't know what to do, the point of no return. People get stressed at their jobs all the time.

They get told what to do because of the pressures of money and financially lacking resources, something that the PGA has known to be accustomed to the last few months given the resources, the endless resources that, of course, live golf does have. Take a breath. Slow down. Yes.

How much? Well, I'm disappointed by this leadership. I'm disappointed by this commissioner. So there is going to be a little bit of animosity that I have towards him. You seem to have more empathy. You mentioned stress. How much of this stress, being 53 years old, is 100% because of his complete own doing? That would be my question for you. Well, without a shadow of a doubt.

Without a shadow of a doubt. I mean, it's not, I don't think it's stress because, you know, they you know, they threw him a surprise birthday party. You know, whatever he's dealing with is what he's dealing with. Yeah, I got empathy because, you know, regardless of whether or not he's a hypocrite, of which I believe he is, stress kills people, man. And so to that end, I'm not going to speculate as to what his issue is. I can surmise, and I could be wrong, that one of the issues is definitely stress. He's in a high-stress job from the get-go.

You know, typically you want to hang out in the background. You're highly paid. I believe he makes, I think between five and eight million dollars, maybe more a year. And so yeah, he's living a good life. But that doesn't take away from him being in a situation now where people are coming out of his head or coming at his head. Is it his fault? Hell yeah, it's his fault. But if I'm not going to tap dance on a dude who had to go to a hospital because he's a jackass, you know? So yeah, he made his bed and he got a lay down in it. And I'm sure they'll come up with something or nothing or we'll find out what it is a week from now or a month from now or two weeks from now or I don't want to say maybe never.

Everything typically gets out at this point in time. But just, I can't even call it ironic. Ironic might be the word. Interesting timing that Jay Monahan is recovering from a medical condition. Whatever it is, I'm sure all of the stress, all of the justified attacks at him, I'm sure that hasn't helped whatever the hell he got going on. Hey, all the best to him in his recovery.

This still doesn't change anything about him being a hypocrite. It's the JR Sport Reshow here with you on CBS Sports Radio. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. NBA done. NHL done.

Oakland Athletics soon to be done in Oakland. Shannon Sharp done. Jay Monahan. I don't know. Is he eventually going to be done as commissioner?

Maybe. Stephon Diggs. Is he going to be done in Buffalo? We'll talk about it on the other side of the break and you will hear from Josh Allen and his coach as well.

What the hell's going on with Diggs? We'll talk about it here on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. Hey JR, thanks for taking my car. You have a great show.

I listen to you on my midnight shift every night. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It is the JR Sport Brief Show on CBS Sports Radio and this portion of the show is brought to you by Wesley Financial.

That's WesleyFinancialGroup.com. Oh yeah, it's that time of year.

People out here beefing about what they buy and what they share and what they can in this. Shout out to the folks at Wesley Financial Group. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. Before we went to break, we took a look and this is the time of year. It's kind of quiet. Baseball is getting ready to take center stage to go along with NFL training camps which are going to take another month from now. We got mini camps, OTAs, etc.

Kind of been going on for the past couple of weeks. Some teams like the New York Jets have already shut down and closed shop until training camp next month. And we looked at the NBA season over. NHL season now over.

Congratulations to the Golden Knights for winning this evening. And so the NFL is going to take more center stage. And so today, unfortunately, the Buffalo Bills were at center stage in the NFL. And it has to deal with Stefan Diggs.

And let's go for a little bit of a recap. The Buffalo Bills were just expected to run to the Super Bowl last year. They were the favorites. One of the top defenses in the league. We know Von Miller went down. One of the top offenses in the league. And unfortunately, we know the Buffalo Bills also had to deal, not deal, deal is the wrong word. They had to live through just front and center with Damara Hamlin and his experience. And God bless him, he's back out on the field right now with a helmet on. Crazy to think that that was six months ago.

It feels like an eternity. And then the Buffalo Bills, they go into the postseason and they beat the Dolphins. Barely. They take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They get smacked. And as the season continues on, whether it's because of the situation with Damara or not, Buffalo Bills didn't finish the season the same way that they started, even though they finished with a 13 and three record. And so in that final game, Cincinnati versus the Bills, we saw Stephon Diggs on the sidelines, just yelling at Josh Allen, going at his guy, you know, wide receivers.

We see him all the time. The wide receivers are the divas. The wide receivers need the ball.

They need the attention. You would think that would be done and over with by now, right? You would think that Stephon Diggs would kind of be at work and this would be done, right?

No, of course not. There were reports today, conflicting reports from Sean McDermott. Buffalo Bills head coach. He was asked about Stephon Diggs. It's like, hey, man, did he show up to work? And listen to what Sean McDermott had to say.

It wasn't too much. Steph is not here. Everybody else is here at the current time. How concerned are you about that? Very concerned. Yeah, very concerned. I'm not going to get into and listen, I respect everyone's everyone's questions and what they want to know about our team right now. I'm just I'm not going to get into into that anymore. So we'll talk about practice. Happy to do that.

Happy to answer those questions and we'll move forward from there. Oh, okay. He wasn't at practice and then it was, oh, he didn't show up to work and then his agent said, yeah, he was at work. He was there, took a physical and he had a meeting and then he left. He didn't participate in practice. So and so now we have ridiculous back and forths.

Now we're really getting into the minutia. Well, did he show up to work? Yeah, he was at work, but he didn't actually practice. Well, he wasn't at work and it's ridiculous.

And of course, Sean McDermott is the head coach. He wants everybody to show up to work and basically go out there and participate. Now, after that fact, Josh Allen also spoke to the media and knowing that this was a situation that bled in from last off-season, Josh Allen said that, man, if we got to take a look at last year, we could have all communicated much better.

Listen to this from today. I think that there are some some things that could have gone better last year and didn't and just, you know, I think we're just as a as an organization, maybe not communicating the right way with with everything. So again, just trying to talk and listen at the same time and hear him out. And like I said, just try to move this forward is as quickly and as respectfully and as respectfully as, you know, as possible.

Yeah. Oh, Josh Allen didn't stop there. He said, yeah, we could have communicated better through the the course of the season and last year.

Yeah, the end of the season went to crap, even though they went into the postseason and getting smashed by the Bengals the way they did not expected. Despite that, Josh Allen said, Stefan Diggs, that's my guy. I know internally we're working on some things, not football related, but, you know, Steph, he's my guy. I love him.

He's a brother of mine. You know, this does not work what we're doing here without him. You know, we wish he was in here today and was out there on the field with us. And that's that's not the case, but I've got his back no matter what. And again, I I've got no doubts that that we will figure out what's going on and freaking love him. I can't stress that enough.

You know, there's a things that I could I could do better and, you know, to help out with this process and try to get him back here and, you know, be the Buffalo abilities that he's meant to be. So what's the problem here, right? I mean, what's the deal? He's upset at at at not getting the ball at the end of last season.

Like what's what's the deal? Let's keep this in mind at about a year ago last year, he signed a four year one hundred and four million dollar extension. His contract runs through 2027. Now you can pick and choose who those his comments were kind of posted to. And when I say his comments, I'm talking about Stefan Diggs. He was on Instagram, of course, Instagram. And he put out a comment, I just let people cap. If the lies help you sleep better, then go ahead and tell them. Who's he saying is lying? This is all very ambiguous.

I just welcome to 2023. Get your message across on social media, of course. He was a little bit more direct when speaking to Dan Patrick earlier this year during the Super Bowl. This is what he had to say about what was going on during that time and why he threw a fit.

And I don't want to call it a tantrum, but why he was so emotional at the end of the game. Listen to this point, like we've seen quarterback and receivers as far as like tandems and guys who play at a high level and every quarterback has their guy, you know, in those moments like you you are the guy standing up to this point. I've been a guy for my team, for my quarterback.

So in those moments, of course, I want the ball. I'm saying I'm never apologize for that. I I show you a good loser.

I show you a loser. So what's the problem? If it's not related to his contract, is he is he got a beef with his coaches? And well, obviously, right? Is it a beef with Josh Allen? It doesn't seem like it, but maybe it is. And everybody's pretty much just in the dark right now. And I get it. It's it's it's it's it's all a business.

But if the beef isn't about your money, and you've met with the coach, why don't you practice? You want more? Like why do why do we need this?

And I don't know, let's say June. Obviously, Stefan Diggs wants something. Does he want more influence over the offense? I know one thing that a wide receiver always wants. They want the ball. They want the ball. And so I assume between now in July, or next month, the end of next month, he's going to be out there and he's basically pushing buttons to make it very clear to everybody that I want the ball.

And I don't want the drop off or the fall off that we got from last year. Does he have to go through all of this? Probably not. Is it something I would be concerned about if I was a Buffalo Bills fan? I don't think so. I think as long as Sean McDermott doesn't run around and and destroy the guy in public, I think things are fine here in Buffalo.

I'd be less concerned with Diggs and more concerned with how the organization handles it. 855-212-4CBS. That's 855-212-4CBS. Ricardo, he's calling from Oakland. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up, Ricardo? Can you hear me? I can hear you.

How are you doing? JT, I'm very emotional tonight. So just bear with me. Okay. Call me JT. JT. I'm sorry. It's okay.

I'm sitting in the parking lot. One of the most amazing events. I'm not talking Major League Baseball.

I'm talking about sports history. Tonight, my city of Oakland showed the world Commissioner Manfred how passionate fans are. What we did tonight was special. Forget about the game. The game was okay. We're not talking about the game, but the game was special JT.

It was in JR. I'm sorry, man. I'm just a little emotional about putting on here. Oakland is soul searching tonight and it came through.

My little kids, my little grandchildren and all that in the future are going to know about June 12th, 2023. I wish you could have been there, man. I wish you could have seen what happened tonight. Everybody was there.

The whole media was there. This is not going to go away tonight. It's going to regurgitate tomorrow. I just want to say one more thing. I'm going to let you go. Thank God for the Oakland Athletics and the city of Oakland. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Ricardo. Wow.

It sucks they're going to move into Vegas. Rob Manfred doesn't care about your tears. Sorry. It's the JR Sport Brief Show on CBS Sports Radio 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. I hope he's not the only person sitting in the Coliseum parking lot just crying. That'd be very sad. Go have a beer, man. Beer will make it better. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. Hey, JR. How are you, buddy? I really appreciate your show.

Night in and night out. I agree with the last caller, once again, from Seattle. You do a good common sense approach to the show. Thank you for having me on.

Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It's the JR Sport Brief Show on CBS Sports Radio. Right before we went to break, we talked about whatever the hell this situation is between Stephon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills. Diggs right now, we know he wasn't happy at the conclusion of last season and how it ended with the Cincinnati Bengals. One of the last images we saw was Stephon Diggs just basically yelling towards Josh Allen.

He did not speak to the media. He pretty much talked during Super Bowl week in Phoenix to Dan Patrick. And he's just like, yeah, man, I was passionate.

I wanted the ball. Our offense changed as the year went on. And I think we need to adjust that. Josh Allen said today that, yeah, we need to do a better job communicating. He signed a four-year extension, approximately $100 million last year.

And so, this can't be about money. This seems to just be an exercise from Stephon Diggs to kind of push buttons to get change. It was reported, or I think it's clearly stated, he was with the Bills today or Tuesday. He was at the facility. He did speak with the coach, but he didn't practice. He didn't do anything else. He showed up and he left. And I think we got a good month before we see Stephon Diggs kind of settling in with the team. I just think he's expressing his displeasure.

Best way to do it? Maybe not, but it's one way to get the job done. You know, utilizing it, but it's certainly a distraction to the team. And I'm sure Josh Allen doesn't enjoy talking about it. 855-212-4CBS.

It's 855-212-4CBS. On the other hand, for a different reason, we have another star wide receiver who did show up to work. His name is Odell Beckham Jr. Odell, back with the Ravens. I should say back in the NFL after tearing at ACL again in the Super Bowl. We know he didn't play this past season. There was a lot of conversations about whether or not he was going to be ready, but he just signed that $13 million, $14 million deal with the Ravens.

He can make anywhere between 15 and 18 depending on how healthy he is along with incentives. And today, Tuesday, first day back. First day catching a pass in practice from Lamar Jackson, but it's all going to take time to get him all ramped up. His head coach, John Harbaugh, talked about Odell and what we can expect going forward. Well, you know, he's going to be full go in terms of health and all that, but I also expect us to ramp up a lot of our guys. You know, we're going to see where guys are at. We're not going to be in a hurry to throw guys out there too much, too many reps. We want to get a feel for everything. He's learning the offense for the first time just like a lot of guys have been. So I think it will be a kind of a see as we go, go through individual, take a few reps in group and team and see how he and the other guys feel and we'll go from there. Okay, one step at a time.

Reasonable, reasonable. The man has tore everything in his knee and has dealt with leg issues for a good portion of his career. It's not like Odell is getting any younger. It's crazy to think about it. He's going to be 31 later on this year.

Time flies. Now, having said that, Odell spoke to the media himself. He was asked how he's feeling.

This is what he said. I feel good. It feels good to be able to get out of bed and not feel, you know, pain. It feels good to feel like if I need to take off running right now, I could take off running. You know, it's been a long journey this time around and it was its own process.

So I just had to take that for what it was. Yeah, I mean, look, if the Ravens, if they are healthy, if the offense is healthy, and I know that's a huge if. Zay Flowers, Bateman, Odell, Odell, DuVernay, Lamar Jackson isn't just going to have to go. Where's Mark Andrews?

This could be a good look. I hope Odell can make it through the season. And you know, even if it's not his knee at times, it's his hammy. And there's always something with him. I hope he can stay healthy because the Baltimore Ravens and specifically Lamar, man, I know he's been looking for wide receiver help for a long time.

Hopefully we don't have to have any of those. Well, if he had the receivers or the help that Patrick Mahomes had and dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, I hope his receivers can stay healthy this year. 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS.

And that line keep them upright as well. Bane is calling from Buffalo. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. Yeah, man. I'm just going to say that again. I agree with their fine.

Cause I mean, I'm thinking they, you know, they, they're not putting enough people around them. And I mean, number two, if he's my guy, I'm going to shove the ball down his throat, you know, as much as possible. And then second, I'm wondering if Brandon means not just trying to save a loan job, you know, like the Rams, everybody's going back to the round of the one year wonder, Hey man, bring a championship to Buffalo.

You know, do I care if it's a one year wonder and they're not competitive for the next three years, if you bring a Superbowl? No, you know, I don't, I don't, I don't think, I don't think he's, he's sweating. He, well, sweating is a different thing. I don't think he's out here worrying about his job, like right out of the gate when you're coming off of a, a 13 and three, I know the New York giants have basically become the, the Buffalo bills South. But all things considered, I don't think he's sweating that now on the other hand. Yeah.

Yes. Now they always call it the not for long lead. So I'm saying me being might be worried. Hey, we win a Superbowl the next few years.

We're not competitive. Maybe I'm out the door. Well, I think every, I think everybody believes that when they, they, they get the job right out of the gate. You know, if you're working in management and professional sports, you are taking the job with an understanding that you know what?

I might not be here for long. You know, these are, these aren't jobs that you get and go, Oh my God, I'm the general manager of this. It's, it's based on performance. If the team is not performing, it's real simple.

You get the boot. I think having Josh Allen locked up with the Buffalo bills, I think that keeps them in a, a decent spot to be competitive. And I can agree with you with the Buffalo bills. Josh Allen can do a whole lot more than just run around himself. And I think he can rely on his offensive, his weapons a little bit more than trying to do it all. But I think that's the position he's been in, especially when you think about the running backs that he's, he's had to work with and the receivers. I don't think Stefan Diggs wants competition with him getting a ball.

I think he just wants to go out there and get it himself. 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 4 CBS. I'm going to take more of your calls on the other side of the break. It looks like DeAndre Hopkins is finally going to make another stop.
