Shout out to my main man, Argentry. Shout out to everybody listening in San Francisco, in Texas, in Houston, in Austin, in San Antonio, in Dallas. People listening here in Atlanta. What's up, Miami?

Much love to everybody tuning in on the score. Hello to WEEI. Hi to my friends in Kansas City. What's up, Omaha? What's up, Boise? We've got people listening in Wyoming, Seattle, Toronto, Canada. Hello to my friends in Buffalo and Rochester. Hey, Minneapolis.

What's up? We've got people listening everywhere. Hana Lulu. Yeah, people call up from Hana Lulu.

They live the life out there. Nobody's ever invited me to come visit Hana Lulu. Where's my damn invite?

I get invites all over the place. Hey, JR. When you're here, come have a beer. Hey, JR. Stop by my place in Atlanta. Hey, JR. Come to the rest.

And I will and I do. Where's my invite to Hawaii? Hey, Shep, you want to go to Hawaii?

What I was about to say? Well, of course I would love to go to Hawaii. Here's my promise to you. If I can make it big in like the next year, when I go on my honeymoon, I will make sure I get an extra room for JR. And therefore, you finally get that well-deserved invite to Hawaii. That's my promise to you. You're getting married in a year? Yeah. Yeah. No, I've talked to you about it. You're going to come.

I'm definitely inviting you. Oh. Yeah. Okay. I like this. I love this. Thanks, man. Are you engaged?

I'm going to be soon. Oh. Yeah.

She don't listen to the show, does she? Let me tell you something, JR. In today's age, you have to know exactly what they're looking for.

And what I mean by that is the cut and the expense of the ring. And so most women know it's coming well before it actually pops. Yeah. So you've been talking to her about some of these, you've been like slyly asking questions. Oh, we've been talking about kids. I'm going to be a kid probably in less than two... I'm going to be... Excuse me.

I am a kid, but I'm going to be a dad in probably less than two years. Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. Okay.

Look at Shep. Thank you, JR. Putting in that word. Giggity-giggity. Quagmire. Oh, let me tell you something.

The best investment I've ever made. What? Well, you said put in that word. Put in that word. Put in that word. Well, you said put in that work.

And then I said best investment I've ever made. Oh, you're talking about with the woman. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know what you were talking about. No, no, no. This isn't like buy a bride or anything. No, that's not what I was referring to.

No, not as in buy her, but I was talking about putting in work as in making a baby. I didn't know what you were talking about. No. Well, I mean, that's the best...

The best time to work? I'm going to stop after I say this. You can get paid for that. You can get paid for that work too.

It's called OnlyFans. So let me tell you something. When you are doing that, to me, there is no work needed. Let's put it that way. Quagmire on TV, he makes it seem like a lot of work. Let me tell you something. If Quagmire had the type of lady that I'm with right now, he wouldn't have to put in any work. It would just feel so good and so natural.

It would be effortless. Okay. Yeah. All right. All right. Well, I'm happy, man. Thank you, JR. That's a beautiful thing.

Yeah. I'm excited for that day for you too, my friend. What day?

What day for me? Well, there's no way that JR Sportbrief is going his entire life without having that special someone. How do you figure? Because I know you. It's too much work, man. All right. Well, not... Too much work. Been there, done that.

Too much work. Fair enough, but you're still really young and the right one is not going to feel like any work for you. Can I find her in a book?

Don't they still do that? Well, listen, if you come to New York, I will ask my lovely bride to be soon enough. You know, if she knows any beautiful women that are around her age and I have a feeling that she'll put you in good hands. Man, been there, done that. Okay. All right. You say that now, but... I can go any...

I was in New York over the weekend. I don't need no help. No one said you need help. Right. But it's all about connecting. It's all about just meeting the right people at the right time of your life. It's not that you need help, but let a friend be a wig man every once in a while.

That's all. I need somebody to come over to my house with the laminated book and they sit at the coffee table. They just open up the book and I just go...

I go, her. And that's how it works and how it used to work, right? It still works like that in certain parts of the country or the world. I mean, the way most people meet nowadays is apps or online dating. I didn't meet... Oh, I can't do that.

I know. So that's not how I met my person. Can you imagine if I popped up on an app like, I can't do that. You'd have a pretty unique, you know, first impression. It'd be like, hey, who are you? I am JR. JR Jackson. Well, what do you do? What do I do? Do I lie or do I say I'm a broadcast?

Like, what do I do? Well, the thing about that is everyone is so technologically savvy these days. All you'd have to literally put is radio slash, you know, TV host.

They'd be able to find everything about you in five minutes. Well, that's terrible. That's why I can't do this stuff. I agree. Well, there are, but there are also, I don't know if I would qualify.

I think so. You would definitely qualify. There's like celebrity apps and dating sites. I don't need that.

I can walk around here in Georgia and do that. I don't need that. Got it.

See, this is why I don't want to do none of this stuff, man. Oh, it's just a wife. Well, JR, hold on, hold on a second. Yeah, hold on. Let's see here. Uh, one second. I'm just going to randomly pick somebody here. Okay. Prepare yourself with this one. It's not going to be fun.

Nobody knows how to pay attention or follow directions. Hey, JJ, call him from Pittsburgh. You okay?

JJ. Hey, what's going on? How are you? I'm hanging in there.

Good. Are you married? You got a wife? No, I'm single and ready to mingle. Oh, so do you want a wife? Uh, I don't know that I want a wife, but like, um, I, I'm enjoying the process of, oh, um, finding, um, maybe a girl that kind of, uh, jives with me, you know, I, uh, I actually lost a bunch of weight.

I lost about 312 pounds. So I'm like kind of shot out of a cannon now, so to speak. Oh man. So you've ready to get it in, huh? JJ.

Yeah. I'm feeling really confident. So I'm like, Hey, let me throw myself out there. You said you lost how much weight? 312 pounds. I mean, unfortunately I was close to 600 pounds.

Now I'm about 250. Um, and I'm, I'm like super excited about it and I feel really great. Oh, good for you.

Hey, JJ, you're going to get a lot of buns, man. Good for you, brother. Good. Hey, I appreciate it. Hold on, hold on.

I'm going to bring you right back. I got to ask somebody a question. I get right back to you. Okay. Yep.

Okay. Shout out to Jay Shep. You hear him? That's incredible. JJ, that is a heck of an accomplishment, my man. Good for you. Yeah. Good for him.

That's, he's going, he's a different type of buns now. He getting it all. Hey, Brian is calling from here in Atlanta. Hey Brian, you married? Yeah.

Was that the Sheps Skidimax segment? We're not talking about that. I asked you, are you married? Uh, no, sir. I have too much work. Oh, are you looking for a relationship with anybody? Uh, no.

Okay. Hold on, Brian. Don't go anywhere. Josh is calling from North Carolina. Hey Josh, are you married?

Been there, done that. And why are you no longer married if you don't mind me asking? Uh, I guess it just wasn't the right one. Was it your fault? Uh, I guess it could be both ways. Oh, well, whose fault was it, Josh?

Come on. Uh, yeah, it was mine. Oh, it was your fault.

Hey, were you, were you doing stuff that you weren't supposed to be doing? Uh, a little bit. Okay. Hold on. Don't go anywhere. Can I say something quickly?

Yeah, go ahead. Josh, you sound like a young man though, man. You know, like, like this is not your only chance at true happiness and long lasting love. Well, he said he's been there, done that.

Man, leave the man's wallet alone. No, but I don't want him to be disappointed by that. Yeah. Well you, have you been married yet?

No. No, but I've been in relationships where I've, where I've been a jackass and, and, and you, you become much better in that next relationship because you realize the error of your ways. Yeah, but there's a difference, there's a difference between being a single jackass and a married one. There's a difference, Sean. Yeah, that's, that's fair, but I always find it very hypocritical that so many people we look up to and admire that are quote unquote celebrities get to marry three or four times, but the average person can't do it twice.

I don't admire none of them folks. Let's ask Mike from Chicago. Hey Mike, you're on CBS sports radio. You, you've been, you married, man? You married? Hey, I am, JR. How are you, Dave?

Oh, thank you. Finally. One out of four, we got somebody who's married. Hey Mike, what's the, your marriage is successful, would you say? Yeah, 20 years, three kids, uh, dropped two off to college this year for the first time.

Yeah, very happy. Congratulations. What is the key for all of us single people? What's the key for your, uh, your success here? You, you just lie to your wife, like, how does this work?

No, you know, I, listen, I, I'm very fortunate. I was able to follow some of the things that my parents did and some of the other family members checking my ego at the door and listening. That's the two things that, that probably made the mayor successful.

And she did the same thing. So it worked out for both of us. Ah, no ego, no ego.

Oh, I like that. Admitting when you're wrong. It's most difficult thing to do, but it, it helps. What about this thing? I hear a lot of times how you have to admit fault, even when you're not, you got to shut up and swallow your pride.

Is that true? I, you know, something we've never had to do that. We've been very, very fortunate that we could talk through things. I can't remember a time. I probably happened, but the communication is pretty solid between us.

And I, I don't think I've ever had to do that. Oh damn. Does your wife have like a twin somewhere that single what's going on, Mike?

Yeah, the line, the line is around the block. No, she does not. Oh damn. All right. Well, what else you got? Well, what's on your mind, Mike? But you didn't expect to come here and talk about your model life, but what else you want to discuss? So I want to thank you.

So I wanted to say this. I can't name the name, but I have a family, a family member who is a minority owner for the White Sox and you talking about them tonight, JR is tip of the iceberg stuff. How dysfunctional that franchise is.

First of all, Jerry Reinsdorf is possibly the luckiest man in the world, but he locked into Michael Jordan because without Jordan if you look at his track record, he has decimated this franchise and most likely it is going to move and I'll get to that in a second. Oh my God, bro. Come on.

Don't say that to me, man. Here's, here's the deal on this. So he has already stated that once he passes, his sons will sell the team. They'll keep the bulls because the NBA, as you know, is an ATM.

It's a cash, it's a cash machine. The White Sox in this town are, are an afterthought, mostly because of what he's done. But if you go back and look at some of the things that, that he's done is under the things that have happened under his ownership from the Latin American player personnel scandal to what happened with Omar Biscall when he was a minor league coach, look at Daryl Boston, who's the first base coach there.

And you would, you literally will be shaking your head, but what's happened right now is he has, he has really has an echo chamber around him. The people, the people that are there, it's almost a good old boy network that it's, it's his friends and family who are running the team. They really cut back on everything. And what you're going to see over the next three or four years there is absolutely going to gut the team and really force them into selling and probably moving. Are you telling me the White Sox are on the Oakland Athletics pathway? Yes. Yes. Think about it. Think about this way.

You're, you're in the second or you're in third you're in third largest TV market in the United States. They signed their most, their, their, their richest contract this year with Ben attendee. It's not even a hundred million dollars. And you look at how he spends and what he does with the organization. And when he does sell it, the minority owners sell it.

There is already groups lining up from Nashville looking to buy this. I know, I know who wants teams. I know Mike, Hey, Hey Mike, you brought me, you brought me positivity and enthusiasm and great advice when, when talking about a wife and how to find one. And you have literally just depressed me by talking. I've worked with the White Sox, man. And you just depressed me. I don't want to think about that.

And fingers crossed that it's not the case, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't shock me, man. Hey Mike, I appreciate you and congratulations and good luck to your kids and your family, man. That's, that's good on you. You said two in college now?

Two heading off to college, one going to University of Florida, one going to University of Illinois. Oh, beautiful, man. Yeah. You have gator, gator land, man. You might give, if you swing by Atlanta on the way down, make sure you shoot me a holler. Okay.

I will be driving down in a couple of days hitting, going through Atlanta and I will definitely give you a shout. Yeah, please do. Thank you, Mike, for calling from Chicago. Yeah.

Yeah. I like, I like hanging out with the listeners. I do, man.

I like going through the stadium, the arena, walk around, say hi to everybody. Hello. I'm not just a voice here.

I'm just a guy. Let's go back to JJ from Pittsburgh. What's up, JJ? Hey, how's it going? Well, what's going on, man? What's on your mind?

Thank you for the other beautiful story and good luck getting all that ass. So what's on your mind? Oh, I appreciate it. Well, um, the, the penguin signed, I guess it's Carlson. I don't know anything about hockey. Um, but I listened to enough sports that I know they signed this block, uh, blockbuster deal. Um, but I never could get into hockey and I don't know, is, is it for me, as far as that goes, I mean, or could someone convert into liking a sport after a certain period of time?

Or is it, should I just give up on it? You're asking, you're asking me. I used to really, really, really love hockey. Like, like 20 years ago, love hockey when the devils were good.

Uh, I I'm, I'm, I'm whatever on it right now. I keep up with hockey, but I'm not, I'm not, I'm not into the day to day. It doesn't have the excitement factor.

It doesn't have the same type of off season drama and stories. If you were to ask me for my favorite sports here in the United States, just in a general sense, and I'll watch anything, I got a problem with hockey, but I love the NFL, the NBA. I love major league baseball as much as the rule changes have driven me up a wall. I like the older version of baseball. I love soccer.

I love overseas football, man. I, I watch cricket. I love tennis.

Absolutely love tennis. I'll watch gymnastics. I'll watch ice skating. I'll watch the NHL. I'll watch the WWE.

I'll watch anything, but it doesn't have the, the, the same oomph to it as a lot of the other sports. I'm more of a MLS fan at this point than I am an NHL fan. So you're asking me, you're in Pittsburgh, man.

It's NHL crazy up there. Yeah. I, but I don't know. I, I always think that maybe if you've never played a certain sport, you don't get into it. I love baseball and I played, you know, in little league, but maybe that's the key.

I don't know. JJ, I grew up in the Bronx, New York, uptown, Washington Heights, a home of Manny Ramirez, and I can go on and on. I love baseball. You know how much baseball I played growing up?

None. And I absolutely love the game. I just played a game a couple of days ago with Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera, and I got a hit, but I stunk while I did it, man. I don't swing no bat. I shot a basketball growing up. I played tennis growing up. I ran growing up.

I blew out my knees growing up. I don't play anything but to try to stay healthy. And I love these sports. I play football in the street. I never played organized football. I played two hand touch where you literally got tackled playing on concrete, man.

I'm, I'm crazy. And I love sports. I never played an organized anything in my life.

I just played in the street. So I don't know if I'd go as far to say, you got to play to be invested. There's different reasons. We got people who are invested into sports just for the gambling aspect of it, you know? Yep. To each his own. Hey, JJ, I appreciate you for calling from Pittsburgh. And stop. You like the Pirates?

Yeah, I called. My first call to you was a while back and talking about the Pirates, and now they completely fell off the map, but it's fun to kind of see the young players come up and, you know, see what they got. So I, I, well, I love Pittsburgh. First of all, it's one of my favorite cities to visit for the food. I like the city.

I feel like I'm Batman when I'm walking around the city. I like all the, the unhealthy food. I like the whiskey that you have there. I know we talked about drinking responsibly, but there's some good restaurants, but do me a favor.

Tell the Pirates to stop hitting Ronald Acuna. Okay. I'll make sure I'll give them a call. I know some people, so I'll take care of that for you. I'll talk to you soon, man. Take care. Sounds good.

No doubt about it. Brian from Atlanta. What's up? What's up, big boss?

How are you? Welcome back. No, my first thing was that guy a minute ago. I literally thought he said that he was coming to Atlanta to evict crack houses. I was like, that's a bold move, man. So anyway, that guy did say that about an hour ago. Yes, he did. Okay.

That's the bull strategy, man. Well, have you ever evicted a crack head? Uh, no, but I've seen enough.

I've had to get them off my patio. Oh, I'm not going to ask you where you live in Atlanta, but, uh, what else is, well, keep going, Brian. Go ahead. The second boy was how close was Shep to using the dump box on his own self. Ask him. He's right here. I kept it clean there, Josh. He's in love. Brian, I kept it clean, man.

He's in love. What you want from the man? Come on.

Okay. So the reason I called my father is a huge nets, jets, Mets individual. Um, can I guess those one day if at the end of Aaron Rogers tenure, he has a worse playoff record than Chad Pennington, that would be two and three. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Chad Pennington. What would chat?

What are you talking about? Chad Pennington, Chad Pennington's playoff record with the jets was two and three. Okay. If Aaron Rogers has a worst playoff record with the jets at the end of his tenure, can I get to this one day?

You want to guest host? Yeah. Well, you said Aaron Rogers hasn't played a game. He's the best Jeff quarterback. So I was just saying if by the end of Aaron Rogers tenure, she has a worse record in the playoffs. No, no, you can't guest host here.

That's the first thing. And then, uh, and second of all, Aaron Rogers is the most, I didn't say he was the most accomplished. I said, he is the most talented quarterback that the jets have had. Oh no, I wasn't, it wasn't a, it wasn't a slide on you.

It was just, uh, I had to go back to the other quarterbacks because there are some people in New York who still argue that Chad Pennington should be on the Mount Rushmore quarterback. I don't know who they are and I don't pretend. No, Brian, nobody says that. Nobody says that. Hey, look it up. It's actually a thing I read before I talked to you. I don't want to be done with the guy with Baltimore. People in New York say stupid things.

Just ignore them. Okay. I know. Do you think the guy from Baltimore got up this morning and watched, uh, good morning football or good morning America and ate his own words? Oh, is the guy who was telling me the Orioles, this, this Kevin guy, isn't the biggest story.

It was literally cringing to listen to how we wouldn't let you talk and just try to make it your fault. Yeah. What do I know? I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm talking on my own show, trying to have a reasonable conversation. So what do I know? Right?

It's okay. Once he went past about nine media outlets, since you actually understand and follow, uh, he was pretty much just put up and hung up dry. Well, he says he talks to his granddaughter. So what do I know?

You know, she's an authority on sports. Hey Brian, I'm going to see you soon. Okay. All right. Cheers guys. Have a great show. And, um, you know what?

I'm not going to finish that for Russia. Yeah. Don't I holler at you soon.

I want to come by soon. All right. All right. Cheers, big dog. Shout out to Brian for calling from Atlanta. I'm gonna hang out with Brian. I'm gonna get something to eat. Hey, chef, when you come down, we go, we go to his restaurant.

He has a nice one here. Absolutely. Uh, Jr in the break and it's up to you if you want to go, uh, talk about it at all. There's something that's trending.

That's very disturbing. I'll tell you about it in the break and then I'll leave it up to you. Obviously, if you want to discuss it. Oh, yeah.

Oh crap. It's the Jr sport. We show here on CBS sports radio. We going to talk about whatever chef wants to talk about on the other side of the break.

I'll get some more of your calls as well. We're going to talk about the defensive player of the week. We got a lot to do 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.

Jr. I would like to say you are the most levelheaded and coolest sports radio host in the world, man. I love listening to your show. I always get off around this time of night.

Always love to hear your takes. You're always a really cool customer, man. I appreciate your show, bro. Call in now at eight five five two one two four CBS. It's the Jr sport brief show on CBS sports radio. Eight five five two one two four CBS.

It's eight five five two one two four CBS. You know, there's a there's a lot going on related to the the commanders. Shep, what's going on, man? What happened? You told us before the break. You said that there was something that was trending online.

What was going on? Yeah, well, I mean, Jr, it has to do with what happened with with Kevin Brown, obviously, because an announcer basically got suspended for a few days because he said something accurate. Meanwhile, you have someone in our business who has probably 15 people working on that show. And I don't know if you even feel comfortable naming it. I'm sure when people hear this clip, they're going to be able to identify who it is pretty quickly. But basically, he was talking about the quarterbacks right now that are starting or supposed to be QB number one on their respective teams that cannot win a Super Bowl.

And you won't believe a name that he mentioned when he was talking about these 20 plus quarterbacks that cannot win a Super Bowl. What what what what? What station is this? It's it's on Fox Sports Radio. So let's let's Fox Sports one.

Yes, let's let's hear it. Category is 20 guys who are not getting to a Super Bowl and certainly not winning it. And that's everybody else. From Baker Mayfield. Teddy Bridgewater, Dwayne Haskins guys, guys that are just not that. Yeah, that it says can win Super Bowls. It can't can't win Super Bowls. Okay, so six stars, four high end starters and 20 guys that can't win a Super Bowl.

What would I miss? Oh, you obviously heard who he referenced as one of the quarterbacks starting the season that can't win a Super Bowl. Let me hear it again. Maybe I'm deaf.

Play it again. Category is 20 guys who are not getting to a Super Bowl and certainly not winning it. And that's everybody else. From Baker Mayfield. Teddy Bridgewater, Dwayne Haskins guy. What?

Dwayne Haskins is not you're not alive no more. It's that's not old. That's from that's from that's from earlier to that's from Tuesday. It's from Tuesday. If you're on the west coast and obviously time that is today. Yep. And I'm on his I looked on his Twitter feed.

I look for anything Fox Sports 1 related. There's no retraction. He didn't say sorry. Not that I'm seeing this is this is this is inexcusable. This guy got hit by a truck on the side of a road a year and a half ago.

Like this is this is I don't know how you I don't know how you come back from this. Uh, well, I mean, it's called money. Sure. He ain't going anywhere. Mike, there's been reports and rumors that he might go elsewhere.

Sure. But but JR the person that put this on a graphic on a full screen a deceased quarterback for a year and a half to put that on a list. Now, August 8th, 2023 as a quarterback that cannot win a Super Bowl. The guy obviously has been eulogized for the better part of a year and with good reason what he stood for. Obviously, some people felt like he didn't live up to his potential in the NFL.

That's besides the point. The guy's life was taken prematurely. He had a lot of promise. You can't make that mistake in our business, especially when you have that much gravitas and spotlight every single day on your show. Well, I can assure you that that everyone having anything to do with that got yelled at so that that much I know ramifications money talks and so I mean outside of his own contract issues or where he might go next or what have you.

That's that's a tough one. It is that is that is embarrassing look. Everybody makes mistakes and when you have a public job in a public position the mistakes are going to be amplified. But how that mistake is made is beyond me, especially when you have the resources and you have the staff.

There are individuals and I don't know maybe it's the summertime. I mean you don't just have the producer overseeing that they go through production meetings where they talk about all of this. They they they have a researcher off the side of the set whose job is to analyze everything that gets said.

I don't know if they're cutting corners, but how that made it to air. That's like me sitting down here for for five minutes and talking about how Dwayne Haskins isn't going to even cut the rotation for the Steelers. That's like me sitting down here and saying that and people going. Well, what the hell is he talking about the guy been gone?

Absolutely terrible. I would assume shop that he is going to provide a verbal apology tomorrow. But JR and I and I respect everything you just said, but when you have the kind of salary that he does he is he is as established as they come in our business like Dwayne Haskins. That was a that was front page headline news right on not just sports but network television. How do you not win that the second that name leaves your mouth?

How do you not recognize the nanosecond that happens? Wait a minute. This was a major big-time NFL prospect. Well that that is deceased for a year and a half. You you know, this not everybody who talks about sports knows what the hell they're talking about.

Jr. I and I'm serious. I get what you're saying about about the money and about the financial security.

He has because of the law. It's not about the money. How do you how do you have any credibility from this?

How do you recover from this? Well, people don't a lot of people are on autopilot man. A lot of a lot of hosts who have a lot of producers who have a lot of producers and have a lot of money and do a lot of talking.

They they get on autopilot. This is we've we've heard this I've seen I've heard and I don't like I don't watch under this stuff because I got to talk about it for four hours myself. I could care less with these guys say but I've seen clips of Stephen A. Smith making mistakes where people go man. Do you even watch baseball and it comes a point in time where you're on TV and you're promoting and producing so much content.

It almost becomes impossible to consume it all impossible. And that's and that's fair and I remember there was that mistake he made when Teddy Bruschi was the analyst and he was talking about Chargers and the and two guys were not on the team that that's that's one thing but this guy was a first he's a first round overall draft pick. He won the Sammy ball trophy as a quarterback back in 2018 for one of the most prestigious universities in all of college sports. He was one of the household names coming into the NFL and his career lasted no more than four years because of tragic circumstances. You have to get this you can't get this one. Yeah well yeah shut up you can beat it into the ground but he he screwed up I mean how and why he screwed up I can't tell you but more so than he's checked out and he's on autopilot. Look these are these are manufactured shows where people sit down and they come up with topics and ideas that they're going to yell about for a few hours a little bit different than this one you and I put together the show I talk about it we talk about it and that's it okay a whole lot different when you just when you're putting the other grand construction to just yell points like a lot of these shows just are yell machines all right yell yell yell yell yell sit down make a list look I got a top six list and I do it for fun these guys make these top 20 top 10 lists to argue mindlessly over nonsense and so when you argue mindlessly over nonsense you're going to have garbage that slips out and unfortunately he made this point and I expect an apology from him tomorrow is it unexcusable is it tough yes all of it is all of the the above is true I would be surprised if he doesn't apologize verbally on air tomorrow hey we made a mistake I made a mistake the buck stops with me my producers and this and that we can't allow this I expect him to say everything I can probably write the script for what will come out of his mouth tomorrow and if he doesn't then I think he deserves the full-on ass-whooping but listen these guys are manufactured shout machines you put a quarter in they make noise they scream they evoke emotion they're good at their jobs otherwise they wouldn't have it they wouldn't have it but when you are uh just paid to scream and make noise and yell wild crap hey you're gonna have things slip through the cracks it's unfortunate RIP to Dwayne Haskins and you know Colin Cowherd will be okay he ain't going nowhere in a couple of weeks people won't be thinking about this and he'll be shouting some other crap it's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio we'll talk about the commanders on the other side you're listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio you are listening to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio hey JR man I'm good I'm so excited to be on your show I listen to you every night on my way home from work call in now at 855-212-4CBS oh well thank you that warms my heart it is the JR Sport Brief Show here on CBS Sports Radio this doesn't warm my heart but I'm gonna do it anyway I'm gonna tell you about the defensive player of the week sponsored by the Navy Federal Credit Union who proudly serves the armed forces DOD veterans and their families their members are the mission you can learn more at navyfederal.org the defensive player of the week he's not a player but he's a general manager you would think he'd be above the fray to defend himself against a player that he traded away this individual is Rick Hahn the man who runs the Chicago White Sox he pretty much said that Keenan Middleton he's gone but here he is defending against Keenan saying that the culture with the White Sox was poor first of all he said well he contributed to some of the uh the lack of professionalism in the organization but then he went further he defended himself he's like oh yeah but we already told you that we had a cultural problem or a culture problem in our clubhouse listen to this you've heard fairly directly from both Pedro and me and others that we realized we have we had a bit of a cultural problem in this clubhouse that we didn't have a group that was all pulling the same direction that was necessarily supporting each other or going about their business the way that we had wanted this team to go about it oh yeah he gonna get fired ain't no other way to put it i'm not trying to put the guy out on the street like that guy who called us he's uh i don't know what he was we had a guy who called us and he says he evicts people he didn't sound like the sheriff he sounded like the muscle but anyway that is your defensive player of the week defending his own ass before he gets fired somebody else defended himself and we might have to really get into this in tomorrow's show and of course i'll bring you a new top six list but the commanders eric the enemy is already having to defend himself with how he communicates with the commander's players because it's been reported out of ron Rivera's own mouth the head coach spoke to the media and told everybody i got players here that are concerned about how direct and how intense eric the enemy is let's know what ron aurora had to say listen to this yeah i mean they have and i had a number of guys come to me and i say just go talk to him i said understand what he's trying to get across to you you know and i think as they go and they talk and they listen to him it's been enlightening for a lot of these guys again you get a different kind of player from from the players back in the past um especially in light of how things are coming out of college football so a lot of these young guys you know they do struggle with certain certain things they're soft that's what it sounds like right well eric the enemy had an answer and a response to that listen to what he had to say hey you got to understand we're in a grown man's business we're in a grown man's world my job is to make sure that i'm doing the best possible job of over communicating clarity i take a tremendous amount of pride in that they also know when i'm getting on them ain't nothing personal what's personal is that i want us to win i expect that particular player to be great at all times i expect the effort to be a standard that's uh accepted by all of us so when you're not reaching that it's my job to address it so sometimes they may like the highlights and the praise but sometimes they may not like it and i'm perfectly fine with that because that's my job because if i ain't doing my job my ass gets fired he ain't lying maybe we also find out why he he never got a head coaching job maybe because the players are maybe they're punks maybe they can't take criticism and we know coaching has changed you can't yell at somebody you can't cuss them out you can't treat them like they're beneath you you can't do that you can't do that they're beneath you you gotta work with them and so maybe eric bienem he got a little bit too much old school at him i don't care like you getting played to play football man just take your ass whooping and and get corrected and go about your day they're not that difficult we got a lot of people i i think people in society in a whole just can't take criticism they can't bunch of punk ass people running around eight five five two one two four cbs chris is calling from baltimore go ahead chris good morning jr go ahead um a couple questions um as a leader right and somebody puts you in a position to lead right isn't your job to lead that is an odd-ass question well jr the reason why i asked you that because the head coach of the commander his job is to lead and he made this second he made this mistake a second time again he did it with his head quarterback and now he turned around and came back and did it with his offensive coordinator he should not have called him out that player who came in and complained to him should make an example out of that player get rid of that player to show them they got to listen to that offensive coordinator that's what a leader's supposed to be not complaining and going crying to the media that my player said this about this guy it's not right jr that's not how football has been done you you're stabbing your own man in the back it's wrong he should be fired i'm not calling for somebody losing their job jr come on i'm not sure i i think that this it may come more so down to talent on washington on the offensive side of the ball and what the quarterback does look every team is going to have its issues every team is going to have its problems we know washington i mean every bunch of years they go to the playoffs and then they miss them for like three or four years the last time they went was with heinecke and we knew they weren't going to win a damn thing there with that losing record i'm not gonna i'm not gonna destroy ron revere on this one uh he had a case before though jr he called out his quarterback before and got rid of the quarterback that time now he comes out he's calling out the offensive coordinator because he wants to get rid of him too yeah that's why he's doing that jr come on you know that i'm not i'm not i'm not jumping to conclusions there i think it's it's so early in the process eric bien ami just got into the building you have a new owner in joshua harris i don't think anybody is trying to quote unquote rock the boat here in august as you just mentioned ron revere has a history of speaking and saying what's on his mind sometimes to his own detriment but i don't think he's in the process of trying to sabotage his own assistant head coach give it some time is he laying the groundwork to get rid of him i mean why look if i got a new boss you know what i'm doing minding my business and going to work i'm not trying to kick the offensive coordinator down down the hallway because the players came and said they don't like him can can this and should this have been kept in house yes sure it came out somehow didn't it listen folks i'm out of here the jr sport reshow on cbs sports radio it's a wrap i'll be back with you tomorrow 10 p.m eastern 7 pacific thank you to super producer and
