It's the JR Sport Brief show here on CBS Sports Radio, getting you all set and all ready for the weekend. I hope you had a great week. I hope you had a good night. Hope you all set for the weekend.

I'm going to be rolling with you for one more hour. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Shout out to super producer and host Dave Sheppard. He's holding it down for us in New York City. We've had a busy night.

There's been so much that's gone on. Before we went to break, told you about Jalen Brunson. Tonight for the New York Knicks, he dropped the career high 50 points. He was perfect from downtown, 9 of 9 from 3. The New York Knicks, they go out there and they beat the Phoenix Suns in Phoenix, 139 to 122.

Hell of a performance. Victor Benyama and the San Antonio Spurs, they beat the Lakers tonight. No Anthony Davis. So the San Antonio Spurs actually win a game after snapping. By winning the game, they snap an 18 game losing streak.

The Spurs win 129 to 115. So we've had some interest in basketball games tonight. We've had a busy, busy week. We've had a busy, busy day. We've had a busy show. We've talked about everything from some of the social issues in San Francisco, maybe slowing down free agents from going there. We've talked about some of the football games we have on Saturday, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh at the Colts, Denver at Detroit.

That's the primetime game, the primetime matchup. So we've gone up and down and round and round the world. It has been a busy night. It's been a busy week.

Especially when you start rolling into holiday time. NFL is getting ready for playoffs. The NBA has been hot thanks to the tournament. It's been hot for some other reasons.

Guys beating each other up. Getting ready for college bowl season. It's a good time in a sports calendar where you can just kind of sit back and expect something to be on.

And then of course, yes, we also have Major League Baseball hot stove. So it's a good time to be a sports fan. If you want to talk to me here in this hour, you can go ahead and hit me up.

It's 855-212-4CBS. A little bit of a newsflash. This is going to be the last Friday that you hear from me in 2023. After Thursday, I'm doing what most people do. I'm going to try to disappear for a little while.

And so I know things kind of get wild and crazy here on a Friday night. This will be the last one for 2023. I won't be back on a Friday until 2024. I can say the same thing hanging out here with Shep.

Shep, what do we got? Two weeks left in this year? Yeah. Yeah, JR. It went by too fast, man.

You're really good. The year or the month? Both.

Both. You want to turn back the hands of time? I mean, I wouldn't mind.

I legitimately and genuinely enjoy working with you. So if there's that possibility, I would take it. Yes. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would go back to the year.

I don't know. What's a good year? Wasn't 2020.

Hell no. I'm thinking further back. But it was a good year for CBS because it got you full time. The 2020?

Yeah. That's when the JR Sport Brief came into existence. So 2020 wasn't all that bad. We know it was horrific for a plethora of reasons, but there was that silver lining. There was no sports.

I took the job and in like a week, not even a week, a month later, it's just like, hey, there's no sports. Yeah, but in fairness, people then got to see even more of your personality, right? Touché. A lot of people wouldn't be able to do what I did. I know that.

Yeah, exactly. Anyway, I'm trying to think of a good if I could go back to a year. Well, I mean, 2001 sucked. OK, what about what about mid 90s? You had the Yankees who were up and coming.

You had the Cowboys who were still a dynasty at the time. Man, I think about damn sports. Oh, you're thinking about it from a personal perspective.

You think about no damn sports, man? What's wrong with you? Got it. Got it.

Well, you think I live my life according to what happened in 1994 and 96 and 99? Yeah. What was that? What was I thinking? JR Sport Brief? I'm sorry.

I didn't know your life didn't involve sports. Yeah. Come on, man. Think about that. It's like, oh, well, I could think about what happened in 2001.

It stunk. I don't care. OK, so what was if you look back in the 30 plus years of your life, what was the best year of it?

The best year? Yeah. Take me to. I don't know. OK, I have no idea. Well, I've never asked you this before. Every year comes with a challenge.

Right. When you're a kid, you don't want to be in school. You know, I don't know. Maybe two. Maybe when I left school. I don't know.

Maybe 2003, something like that. You know, it's funny and I know people can relate to this. JR, I know you can as well. The idea of not having to be responsible financially for yourself and your only job is to learn and be with your friends. Like, man, did I wish I appreciated that time.

If I could go back and do high school again, I'd do it over in a heartbeat. You know what I need to do? And this should be easily obtainable here in Atlanta.

What's that? I just gotta find me a sugar mama. Problem solved. Find me.

I need to find me somebody who's about, let's say, 15, 15 years older than me. Well established. You know, handle some business and she handles the bills. Why not? Is Kerry Washington single? Kerry Washington is from the Bronx, New York. She lives in California now. She's not here in Atlanta.

It doesn't matter. Between your guys' success, between the two of you, you guys can very well have a private plane. Two Bronx people get together? Let me tell you something.

Kerry Washington, there's such a thing as like, you know, everyone has like that list, like of who they would. Hey, hey, hey, hey, don't you got a partner? Relax. She's gonna kick you out.

She would understand if it's Kerry Washington. You think? I know. All right. Yeah, I know. Okay. It's Kerry Washington.

All right. The Halle Berry, same stratosphere. Listen, I could find somebody here who's quiet and established.

They don't need to be no Hollywood person. But do they give you the same type of butterflies that a Kerry Washington and a Halle Berry would? Have you seen what some of the women look like down here?

I have not, no. They look like Halle Berry and Cat Man. The women down here are beautiful. Really? Yeah, what?

She was taking you up on coming to Atlanta sooner. Yeah, I told you, come to Cheetah, man. I mean, there's a different type of woman at the Cheetah. Right, right, right. A little younger. Well, I could say naked on the radio, right?

Of course you can. Yeah, they're younger and naked. They're not sugar mamas. You're not going to find a sugar mama at the Cheetah. You're not.

Yeah. Never mind. Let me slow down. If you are a sugar mama in Atlanta, and I know there's a sugar mama listening, just hit me up.

I'm looking for a sugar mama to pay my bills. There it goes. Is that fine?

I said that okay? Yeah, this really is your last Friday in 2023, I take it. Well, yeah. Well, it is. It'll be my last Friday. You're shooting your shot.

I respect that. Am I shooting my shot? Nah, I'm not shooting my shot. Any word on J.R.'s love life? You barely broached that ever.

No, there is no word. I'm going to go to the cigar bar and look for a sugar mama. Okay. I just sat here on the radio and told all the sugar mamas in Atlanta to hit me up.

Right. And they're all out right now. We got a big concert tonight at, shout out to all my people at Winterfest. They're hanging out at Winterfest, they're going to Sweet Lounge, they're going to Cheetah and Magic City. They're having all types of fun around Atlanta without me.

Shout out to all my folks at V103. So yeah, nah, there's a big old sugar mama alert, Shep. You want one too? No, I'm good.

I'm good. I got the real thing and I'm sure you... Real thing? Yeah. Your girlfriend is 15, 20 years older than you? No, no, not that kind of real thing. Oh, okay.

I have a relationship where there's, not to say there's not mutual respect if you have a sugar mama or a sugar daddy, but we balance each other out very nicely. We're the same age, 37 years old. Beautiful. Yeah, man.

That's nice. Well, if you ever want a sugar mama down here, just let me know, okay? I appreciate that, J.R. Thank you, man.

Find me one easy. That's just like you. Always thinking about other people, man.

That's why you're a beautiful human being. Oh, I try my best. I try my best.

I try my best. 855-212-4CBS. That's 855-212-4CBS.

Yeah, I'll open things up. If you're a sugar mama in Florida, maybe Birmingham. I ain't going past Birmingham. And maybe Chattanooga. No, not Chattanooga.

No thanks. Anyway, let's talk to Paul. He's calling from San Diego. You're on the J.R. on Sportbreeze. Show us up, Paul. Hello, J.R. This is the first time caller Paul.

Now, can I talk to you about Spanos? What he did when he left this town, San Diego, he didn't tell the newspaper. He didn't say thank you to the city or nothing. And so because of that, San Diego is pretty a chill town. You can walk around. But if you're wearing a Chargers T-shirt or Chargers jersey, you're going to get your ass whooped. Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. People in San Diego are nice, man. They're nice. And I'm walking my dog and people are driving by and they're honking.

And I'm thinking, what's going on here? Is it because I'm a white guy or what the deal is? Oh, it's because I got a Chargers shirt on.

There's a lot of charts, but there's still a lot of fans of the Chargers in San Diego. Well, girls can, you know, wear their jerseys and stuff. Don't be disrespectful. I know I was talking about sugar mamas, but don't be worse than me. Oh, I got to find me a sugar mama down in Atlanta. Oh, you sound like a sugar daddy, Paul. Relax, OK?

It's not a sugar mama for you. Hey, you guys are great, man. I got chafed down there. OK, OK. I'll let you go now. All right.

Thank you. Did he say he got chafed down there? What did he say? I don't know what he said. He sounded too old to find a sugar mama.

His sugar mom would have to be 90 years old. Eight five five two one two four CBS Matthews calling from Detroit. What's up, Matthew? Hey, how are you doing? It's been a while since we talked. How are you doing? I'm good. When is the last time we spoke?

I don't know. I think the last time we talked, we were going through a White Castle driveway. And I told I told you a Harbaugh should call his own number and blitz Ryan Day, which was a little absurd. OK, do you want to have a conversation on the radio now? Go ahead before I get tired.

All right. I want to talk about the Pistons. You know, again, they expanded their losing streak to 22 games. You know, it's real unfortunate, but I think there's one guy, if they bring in, they they might be able to turn around that losing streak and maybe make a run at like the third pick in the draft. And I don't know if you remember him, but Cameron Crutleg played for Loyola, Chicago. He's got potential. He's 24 years old. He's good in the paint.

And this is a really lacking a center. So I think it'd be a really good ad for him to give somebody to give Kate Honey. I'm somebody they sort of pick and pop.

What do you mean? Tell me, Frosty the Snowman. Frosty the Snowman is not available. Frosty is not. No, I'm Cameron Crutleg from Loyola, Chicago.

OK. You know, you get some fans in the seats. You know, you remember Sister Jean, right? Yeah.

Yeah. Sister Jean would be a sister. Jean would be a great sugar mama.

Listen, man, nobody got time for you and no nonsense. Sister Jean could do a better job. They could wear her out there and she could help the Pistons win a game. These these guys have lost 22 in a row. They got Monty Williams basically gave this dude an 80 million dollar contract and they suck. They got too many guards. It's it's a sad situation. There's there's nothing I can say about the Pistons, but to continue to update you on their losing streak. And then at some point go, oh, my God, they finally won a game.

That's that's really the extent. Daniels calling from Chicago. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. Hey, how are you? I'm excellent.

How are you doing? It looks like I'm going to be coming to Atlanta for it. You're coming to Atlanta for the what? I'm going to be coming to Atlanta to come to the Cheetahs. That's that place you just said now. Oh, Club Cheetah?

Oh, my God. You're going to come to Cheetah? Yeah. OK. You're not going to get in trouble with your family?

No, I'm not. I'm not going to take it out. I'm not going to take it out. Right. I mean, you can check whatever you I mean, you could check whatever you want out.

That doesn't mean your family's going to approve. That's right. That's right. So I'm just going to check it out.

Right. Make sure you make sure you bring Shep with you. OK. OK. Bring bring bring dollar bills. A lot of them.

A lot of dollar bills. OK. I'm going to tell them I'm a Uber driver too. So they know. So what?

What's that for? What is if you tell a stripper you're an Uber driver, what's that supposed to do? Oh, they know I'm a pony. Oh, they know you make money? OK, well, you're going to give them a ride home after the after their shift.

OK, that's right. You're going to give the strippers for you. OK. Hey, that should be. Do you have an Uber code? Do you have a Uber code for the strippers? Is it free rides with you? No, that's going to be on me. That's going to be my personal quote. OK. All right. That's that's that's good to know. I'm glad that you're very business minded.

I'm happy for you. So, you know, you know, you know about the Chicago Bears. The way I think about it is like I think they should keep Justin Field.

Get the coach, the coach and fire the offensive coordinator and build a lot of players around Justin Field. Everything is going to be all right. That's that's the way I feel.

Well, that that is certainly a possibility. I mean, there's a lot of conversation about, you know, what's going to happen the rest of the year. Do they get him? Do they get help in the draft?

Do you get a quarterback? I think the next few games are going to help us out there and they're going to they're going to take on the Browns. So it'll be interesting to see what happens in that one. We're going to dig the balance. You know, we're going for the win. OK. All right. I'm not I mean, it's not like you got to face Deshaun Watson out there. So, I mean, I'm not going to argue.

That's right. So I'm going to I'm going to try to call you before you go on your vacation. All right. Well, my vacation will start. You know, Thursday will be my last day and then I'm going to disappear. OK, I'll call you so that I can send you a sugar. If you got money, if you got to get money to you're going to send me a sugar mommy. Well, thank you.

I appreciate that. Chicago, you're going to send me. Do I need to pick her up in Chicago? You're going to send it here to Georgia? No, I'm going to I'm just I'm just going to send you from Chicago. You tell me you want to meet her. Then I'm just going to send it to you. OK. Make sure you fly her first class.

I need her happy when she gets here. OK. That's right. We're going to drive.

It's going to take you back from the airport to your house. Oh, well, thank you, Dan. Appreciate you.

You drive safe. OK. OK. Thank you. The man of respect. I think I sound like a man of respect.

He's sending sending women in my house. Relax, man. Stop it. It's not fun. That's not nice.

Not nice stuff. Eight five five two one two four. CBS is eight five five two one two four.

CBS. We're going to take a break when we come back on the other side. I want to give you a quick recap on what has been a crazy week in the world of sports. We've seen punches. We've seen guys getting chased down for balls. We have seen guys get fired.

We've seen seven hundred million dollar contracts. We have had a wild, wild week and we've had a lot of crazy commentary to go along with it. We're going to hear some of it. It's the J.R. Sport Show on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. I'm going to get off the radio. I want to let you know I commend you for what you're doing, J.R. That's great what you're doing to speak and engage and talking to these college students. We need more of that. Call in now at eight five five two one two four.

CBS. That's sweet. See, life is all about balance. When I'm not going to colleges and universities talking about media and how not to be a jerk with Special Olympics, I'm on the radio talking about, you know, sugar mommas.

Life is all about balance, I guess. Anyway, it's time to take a look at who's got home field advantage this weekend in our NCAA football preview sponsored by Fairfield by Marriott. Fairfield by Marriott is the official hotel partner of the NCAA. With over 1000 locations around the country, you'll always have home field advantage. Visit Fairfield dot Marriott dot com to book your stay. We know it's bowl season here in Atlanta, Georgia. And less than I don't know.

Yeah, less than 12 hours. I think I'm gonna make my way over to Mercedes Benz Stadium and check out the cricket celebration bowl. We're going to see to see two HBCUs going at it. We're going to see Howard take on FAMU. Shout outs to everybody representing Howard from D.C. and everybody representing FAMU down in Tallahassee. Let me tell you something. I think the Rattlers are going to beat Howard's ass.

That's just me. So shout outs to everybody participating here in Atlanta at the cricket celebration bowl. It's the JR sport show here with you on CBS Sports Radio.

That is going to be on Saturday. We have had a busy, busy week. And let's walk through some of the things that took place. Draymond Green. Punching Yousef Nurkic.

Swinging wildly. And now he's suspended indefinitely. But I'm never going to forget when Draymond Green tried to explain it away as a hunting for a foul.

Listen to this crap. He was pulling my hip and I was swinging away to sell the call. Made contact with him.

As you know, I'm not one to apologize for things I meant to do, but I do apologize to Yousef. Because I didn't intend to hit him. I sell calls with my arms. I don't fall to sell a call.

I'm not a flopper. So I was just selling the call because he was grabbing me and pulling my hip back. So I spun away and unfortunately I hit him. And so, like I said, I apologize to Yousef. Because I didn't intend to hit him.

OK, so I guess when he goes to counseling or whatever, he's going to work on that deal, try to help him to not be Pinocchio. And that wasn't even a wildest thing that took place. It was pretty wild because it was Draymond. I don't think I've ever seen Giannis as mad as he was this week.

This man goes out there and drops a franchise record 63-64 points for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pacers allegedly take the game ball. They don't give him back the game ball. He's running to the back to retrieve it like a crazy person. He's running back out onto the court to retrieve it. And then they finally give him a ball and he's just like, I don't even know if it was the real game ball.

And this man lost his mind. Listen to Giannis. I have the ball, but I don't know if it's the game ball. It doesn't feel like the game ball to me. It feels like a brand new ball.

I can tell from, I played, what, 35 minutes a day. I know how the game ball felt. The ball that I have, which I'll take and I'll give it to my mom for sure. But I don't know if it's actually the game balls. But it's okay, you know.

I just continue. I don't even have the game ball from, which hurts me. I have the game ball from game six in the NBA Finals.

I don't have the game ball from that either. Yeah, enough of Giannis with the ball game. That man is upset about the, it's like, man, you got all these balls, like, relax. It's one of the greatest players of all time. Like, okay, you got a ball.

Anyway, be upset about anything else. I can't wait for them to take on the Pacers. At least they got something to beef about now. And then we had Shohei Ohtani. The man accepted a $700 million offer last Saturday. He was introduced to the media with the Dodgers on Thursday. And Shohei Ohtani, he was asked, why the hell did you join the Dodgers? I don't know what the hell he said. I had to listen to his interpreter.

Let's listen. Of course, the biggest goal is to win that World Series. And personally, I have not experienced the playoffs yet.

So that's one of the goals to make sure we make the postseason and World Series after. But Jung Hoon Lee, he signed with the Giants today and he spoke English. He comes from South Korea. He wants to let people know that, yeah, I'm here for fun.

Listen to this guy. Hello, Giants. My name is Jung Hoon Lee, grandson of the wind from Korea. First, I would like to thank the Johnson family, Larry, Farron and Pete. Also, special thank you to my lawyer, Scott Boras and Boras Corporation. Man, you would think, is Scott Boras like threatening people in back rooms? Does he got like a secret cult? He has every big superstar. It's like, you want some money, you got to go to him.

Oh, this is some wild stuff. Well, congratulations to Jung Hoon Lee. Let's see if he is a slap hitter or whether he's actually going to be worth a damn in Major League Baseball. They're paying him enough money, about one hundred and thirty two million dollars over the next six years. He's not afraid of San Francisco. He's just going to take all of their money.

And then, of course, somebody who's going to get paid the lead. This is not hilarious because it sucks when somebody loses their job. But how about Brandon Staley? That was big news over the past week and it just happened last night. His team loses. The Chargers lose 63 to 21. And Brandon Staley, after the game, is asked about his job security.

And then he got fired. Listen to this. Do you expect to be the coach here tomorrow? I don't know that. Do you think you should be?

Yes. Why? I know that what I've done here for three years and I know what I put into this and, you know, I know that we're capable of going. I know the type of coach that I am. I believe in myself. But again, this isn't about me.

This is about a group that's hurting in there. We got to get some rest and we got to get ready for Buffalo. Wow. And then he got fired. He got fired. Like when you got to stand there in the NFL as a coach and defend your merit. That's that's never a good sign. What a wild week. What do you think was Draymond had to have been the biggest story? Would you say so?

Probably just because people scored 64 recently, especially in the pace of the NBA today. A lot of people anticipated Ohtani going to the Dodgers and he hadn't spoken yet. And when he does speak, it's tough to understand that because most people don't know Japanese.

No disrespect to Shohei. We don't really take a lot from his translator. And then honestly, the individual that you talk about Jr.

I don't think Jung Hoon Lee am I getting that right? Like I don't think a lot of people are paying attention to him. We don't really miss hard core baseball fans are so people are fascinated by Draymond because Draymond is a very strong personality. He's a four time champion. He's a Hall of Famer whether we want to admit it or not. I know a lot of people don't want to admit that, but he is. But the NBA has never dealt with someone this out of control and they've had a lot of out of control characters. Middle World Peace, Dennis Rodman to name a couple.

The NBA hasn't seen someone like Draymond Green yet. So you know what? Yeah, you said that that's the biggest story.

How could I leave this one out? John Moran. John Moran spoke to the media today, right? And John Moran, he we know he was punished because of the guns and then the guns again, or maybe not the gun.

We don't we do know that he's in civil proceedings right now for punching that 17 year old on his property because of a pickup basketball game. And John Moran, he said, man, yeah, I went to therapy and the therapy helped me out. Listen to John Moran. Therapy learning from, you know, me, obviously, I feel like I learned some stuff about myself that, you know, I didn't during that process, very eye opening. Kind of gave me a, you know, a new look, you know, on life with, you know, how I go about my days, how I carry myself.

You know, just being grateful and thankful, you know, that I'm still here and in a position that I'm in. OK, John Moran will be back on Tuesday. And then we had the Connors play each other, too, in the NHL. So there you go. There's your hockey reference. 855-212-4CBS.

That's 855-212-4CBS. Get to some of your calls before I have to roll out. It's my last Friday here.

It's our last Friday. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the J.R.

Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio. I listen to you every night. I'm John manner. I'm John gentlemen. I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John I'm John to the JR Sport Brief on CBS Sports Radio.

I listen to you every night. In the whole hospital that I work at, I got 50 guys listening to you. I walk around this hospital now and all I hear is JR. Call in now at 855-212-4CBS. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. Thank you to everybody tuned in all over the country, all over North America, and especially, yes, to those folks working in the hospitals taking care of folks. I'm just trying to keep you entertained, trying to keep you entertained while you out there looking out for other people, okay?

855-212-4CBS is the number before we get ready to roll out. It's the last Friday of the year for the show. I ain't gonna be here next Friday so you can forget about it.

And then, you know, as we went to break, I was thinking about this. We took a look at some of the biggest stories over the past week, Shohei Ohtani, Draymond Green, Brandon Staley getting fired. How the hell could I forget Zion Williamson? Like, it was only a couple of days ago that he was just being destroyed for being fat.

Like, just, that's it. And he did come back to play basketball tonight. I know he missed the last game with an ankle after he scored that 36 points after Stephen A. Smith called him fat. The Pelicans beat the Hornets tonight, 112 to 107. Zion Williamson had 21 points and 11 rebounds. Good for him.

It's a good production. Paul, let's call it from San Francisco. I wonder if he's using that poop app. You're on CBS Sports Radio. What's up, Paul?

Hilarious. Hey, so 1975, I'm a junior at San Diego State. That's where I want to go back to. And I was on the basketball team. Okay, how many points were you averaging?

0.4. But then, the first night I heard you, you guys were talking about brushing your teeth, Shannon Sharp, and I kind of got into that because I brushed my teeth four or five times a day. Hold, what? Wait, wait, wait. The first time you heard who and what?

You guys. We were talking about brushing teeth, Shannon Sharp. What was the context? I have a good memory. I don't remember that. It was like three weeks ago. It was the first night. Maybe it wasn't you guys.

It was the first night. Yeah, hold on a second. Shep, what the hell is this guy talking about?

I'm not sure. He was very informed about what he wanted to talk about. But the last time, Jared, the last time we talked about Shannon Sharp was when the substitute makeup lady did wrong by him.

We never talked about him brushing his teeth. Okay, thank you, Paul, for confusing us. What else do you got, Paul? All right, so I apologize for that. It's okay. I'm listening to you guys on KMBR, which is San Francisco's flagship.

Yes, I'm familiar, yes. It's huge. And you know, I mean, you need to be a little more sensitive and informed about our area because like San Francisco's a big, big area. It's not downtown. There are neighborhoods everywhere. Well, Paul, I don't, well, hold on.

I gotta be honest here. I don't know how much you heard of the show or how much you listened to the show. I listen every night. Well, if you listen every night, I don't think you would make a comment about being informed of the area that there's more than downtown. I talk specifically about the areas surrounding the stadium, where Chase is at, where the baseball stadium is at. I've defended San Francisco.

I've told you the region as a whole, the whole bay is the most beautiful part of the entire country, if you were to ask me. And so what is your ultimate point? Well, just like know your audience. And I'm a journalism guy. I'm for you, I like your show.

I like what you, I mean, I really, I'm into you. But it's like, just, you have a national audience in San Francisco, try to just be balanced about it. No, no, no, no, no, be balanced about what?

Be balanced about what? Look, look, there's a bias against San Francisco politically in our country, and it's not a big deal to me. But I just, I'm for you. I want you to- No, so, no, no, no, Paul, I'm gonna leave. I want you to listen. I'm not hanging up on you because I want you to listen. I will listen. I don't believe you have listened to this show.

Because if you were to actually, if you were to actually listen to what people have said and called up and said, versus what I have said in defense of the city, and to say it's been overblown and it's not fair, you wouldn't be making the comments that you're making now. And so if you're gonna call me and say that I am- I'm trying to help you. No, you're not helping. I'm trying to help you get a national audience.

No, you're not helping me. You have no idea what you're talking about. You said you were gonna listen. Stop talking. If you actually listened, I am very conscious of every word that comes out of my mouth. If you actually listened, it's the same way that the first comment you made was about me talking about Shannon Sharpe and brushing teeth and not a word about that ever came out of my mouth, I think you're misinformed about anything that I've said about San Francisco.

I'm very well aware of where I broadcast, the stations that I reach, and where I go, which is all over North America, including the Bay Area and everything in between. And so I appreciate you for listening. I appreciate you for calling.

What I would say to you is actually pay attention. Thank you, Paul, for calling from San Francisco. Guys calling me, oh, you need to be more balanced in your coverage. Man, I have sat here for days and picked up San Francisco. This guy's calling me going, oh, it can never please all the people.

I know that already. Tony's calling from Houston. You're on CBS Sports Radio. What's up, J.R.? How you doing, sir? I'm excellent.

How are you? Man, first of all, I'm an ex-program director. You are good radio. You're very good radio. I know that, thank you. Hey, Shep, where's the clip where the guy says when I'm not here, we lose customers.

Where's that guy? Can you give me a second to fight it? Yo, the whole time. Hey, man, I'm an HPD. I know good radio when I hear it.

Yeah, well, thank you. First of all, I know you got Sugar Mama alert going down. Maybe I need to move to Atlanta.

I don't know. Nah, listen, man, I've had some times in Houston, man. Woof, I've had me some times. I don't even wanna know about them, man. Yeah, they start at like 7 p.m. They don't end until like 5, 6, 7 a.m., okay?

Well, you're welcome back anytime. Come and check out 610 Radio. Oh, The Loop? Oh, I'll be out there with The Loop. Come on, man. You don't know that?

I'll stop by. I go up to the station, yeah. What? Exactly. But what I wanna ask you, I like the Texans, but I'm a Patriots fan. Oh, no. Who do you think, don't do that, man. Who do you think is gonna be Belichick's replacement?

I don't know. Wouldn't it be cool if Rabel left, but he got a quarterback now, you know what I'm saying? Like, why would Rabel go up to New England and not have a QB? And he don't have no pressure in Tennessee.

He don't. He's gonna have a new stadium. They're gonna have a new stadium. It looks like Will Leviss is just gonna be busting people ass for a long time.

Like, why would he, I get it, it's a glamor job, but you said it, pressure? Ain't nobody bothering him in Tennessee. If he goes up to New England, his head is gonna be on a stake from day one, the first mismatch or first wrong. They're gonna give him a hard time. I don't know. You know what's happening this weekend, right? They wear the oldest uniforms this weekend.

So what are you saying? Well, you know, in Houston, it's a big deal about it in Houston. You know how Houston was about Love U Blue. Right, yeah, there wasn't there, well, no, it was actually a, wasn't there a lawsuit? That was with a college team, wasn't it?

U of H, University of Houston. Right, right, and they tried to sue him to tell him, like, cut it out. It's, I'm like, give him a break, it's college.

But the Adams family owned the Orleans, so that's a different situation. Right, so what do you think that there's gonna, what do you think, there's gonna be a little bit extra of a beef when I tune into the game? Well, Houston is sentimental about it, but what I can tell you is that, man, every night I'm DJing a club, when I'm on my way home, I listen to your show. I love it. Well, thank you. Thank you, Tony. You great, man. When I come back to Houston, I need to check you out. Hit me up on IG, okay, Tony? I will do, man. You the best, man. You the best.

Safe travels. When you're not on, they lose customers. Exactly. You hear that, Tony?

It's facts. Salute, salute to you, man. Peace, brother, thank you, Tony.

Yeah, when you're not on, they lose customers. John is here from Rochester. Go quick, John, go quick. Hey, Jer. Hey, I just, congratulating on your time off, and is Shep gonna fill in for you? That's a good question. Ask him. John, thank you for the question.

I am not, unfortunately, we don't have enough producers at CBS Sports Radio, so I need to- What? That's the truth. What?

That's the truth. You know what, Jer? What the hell? So, John, so they need someone to be me in order for me to host them. We don't have that right now, but thank you for inquiring, John, and you're the best, man. Well, I gotta tell you, because every time I've tried to call your last three shows, I can't get through to you.

The lines are, like, busy all night. I can get through to JR every time I call. Well, that's not true, John. Well, trust me, everything I know, I know from JR.

So, thank you. Well, John just said, my show sucks. Damn.

No, he didn't. John said, my show sucks. I've been looking at the phone. John, how long you been on hold tonight?

About an hour. Okay. My show sucks, though.

This guy been on hold for an hour, my show sucks. I just had to throw that out there, but I didn't hear your bill's take, but you know what? It's okay. This is a playoff game.

Every bill's game's a playoff game, and I think they're gonna kick Dallas' ass. Okay. Well, thanks, John. Hey, Shep, can you play that clip about when I'm not on again? You're the best, man, you're the best.

When you're not on, they lose customers. You hear that, John? Well, you know, you gotta have yin and yang. You gotta have the positive and the negative, right? Well, which one am I? You're the positive, man. You are the positive. I just wanted to give Shep his props, man, because he's the best producer in the business, but you're the best host in the business.

So we're like peanut butter and jelly? Yeah. All right, thank you, John. No doubt.

We appreciate you. We gonna send you a sugar mom, okay? How old do you want her? You know what, actually, at my age, about 40 is pretty cool with me, man.

Ah, nah, sugar momma gotta be older. Hey, John, thank you for calling. We gotta leave, okay? All right. All right, stay warm in Rochester. Hey, Shep, are you gonna be on Sunday? Yes, that is the mainstay.

That we do have enough producers for, fortunately. Well, tell them what time. Shep, hurry. Oh, 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Eastern time. Thank you, JR, for another great week, my friend. I can't wait to be with you next week, as always. Yeah, it's promotion. The JR Sport Reshow is done.

No more Fridays, not for this year. Ryan Hickey's coming up next. I like him. And listen to Shep, too.

I like both of them. Don't move. We'll be right back after the show. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.
