Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America on the free Odyssey app, your local CBS Sports Radio affiliate, Sirius XM Channel 158, Smart Speakers. Yeah, ask it to play CBS Sports Radio. You can listen to this show, simple. Listen to this. CBSSportsRadio.com, what a shock.

Get the Odyssey app though, much easier. Super producer and host Ryan Hickey is holding it down for us on the boards in New York City. This show, I get started. I'm not just here for one hour. I'm not here for two hours. I'm not here for three. I'm here for four hours.

Every single weekday, starting at 6 p.m. Eastern Time, 3 Pacific. Listen on the app, and yell at your local affiliate. Do something. I'll be here regardless.

Anyway, we've had another busy day. Shout out to all my folks up in Baltimore. You got Derrick Henry.

We took quite a few calls on this last night. People were saying, oh my God, JR, I hope the Ravens get Derrick Henry. And oh my God, one guy said, I hope they get Aaron Jones. Well, Aaron is going to be up in Minnesota for the Vikings. And so if you're in Baltimore and you got Derrick Henry, congratulations.

We talked about this last break or last hour, I should say. Jonas Schaeffer joined us from the Baltimore banner, and we all know adding Derrick Henry is good for the Baltimore Ravens. We just need to know, is it going to be good when it matters the damn most? We know that the Baltimore Ravens, they can win a bunch of games in the regular season without Derrick Henry. It's certainly going to spell Lamar Jackson, hopefully some wear and tear throughout the course of the year. But what's going to happen when they might have to throw the ball in the postseason?

That's it. That's all I care about. Who cares if the Ravens win another 12, 13, 12 games?

Who cares? Let me know when you can beat Patrick Mahomes for once, damn it. Same thing for the Buffalo Bills.

Good stuff though. Nice moves. And we've had other moves. Danielle Hunter is going to be playing for the Houston Texans. Jordan Poyer, no longer a member of the Buffalo Bills. He got a one-year contract to now play for the Miami Dolphins. We got people moving all over the damn place.

We talked about this. Jameis Winston is going to be backing up backing up Deshaun Watson until somebody falls onto Deshaun Watson's shoulder. And then Jameis, boom, starting quarterback for the Browns.

Be interesting to see now, wouldn't it? Deontay Johnson, he's been traded from the Steelers. He's now a Carolina Panther.

He's going to give Bryce Young an option, some weapons. And so just a busy day. Free agents can start signing with their teams tomorrow. Now we can stop a lot of this rumor nonsense, or at least what do they, hey, Hickey, what they call us? The legal tampering period? That's right.

Legal tampering. Hey, is there a move? We've had two, three days of this now, even if you count the weekend and Russell Wilson and Kirk Cousins and what have you. Is there a new guy on the team, on a new team that should be playing for the team, on a new team that you're really interested in seeing? One today, I mean, Derrick Henry, I'm very excited to see him with his field, the Ravens. Saquon Barkley, I'm very interested in seeing too.

Cause of the hate. Yeah. I like that. The hate, if he gets a healthy, he's a great fit in that offense. I mean, he's also going to a team that's sort of in turmoil, but not really, but also sort of is it's there's a chance that could combust next year. The Eagles chance. You think it'll be a Giants fans will be happy about that, right?

They throw a parade. Yeah. He goes to Philadelphia. There's a disaster that that'd be best case scenario for Giants fans.

Yeah. I'd say those are the two biggest moves. I mean, and then you have the quarterbacks it's I feel like the NFL has stepped into the place of like NBA free agency. I don't think that that years ago, and I know free agency is still relatively new in the NFL, give or take 30 years. But I feel like in more years past, there's a larger emphasis on who ends up where and who gets traded and who gets signed. I don't feel like there was ever this much hubbub. And this has really all been manufactured by the NFL on the calendar to get people hype.

No. Oh, I'm with you. This is I mean, it helps when you have some big names, you know, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Saquon Barkley, like that's also part of the reason why NFL free agency was not fun for most years is you didn't have a lot of big names moving.

It was just kind of some names. We know some decent guys that got elevated because there's no one else out there. But now there's actually some big names reaching for agency. And now I'm with you like it's replaced NBA free agency. It's I mean, NFL is just completely taken over, including Christmas Day, the entire calendar, for the most part from the NBA, I guess outside of the finals.

But watch now we'll have some sort of June event that will try to take away some steam from the finals. Man, I couldn't even tell you, like, who the hell is moving in the NBA come June and July? Like LeBron James is? Well, he has a player option. Like who's the biggest free agent Damar DeRozan? I think that is I don't even think I'm joking.

I nobody. This year, NBA free agency doesn't have the same type of juice. The NFL has just completely smashed everybody when it comes to attention, how they have garnered the attention, how they're keeping the attention.

And I do want I do want to go back. You know, we did mention Derrick Henry. It was only a couple of months ago that he sat down on Bussing It with the Boys and he talked about what he would be looking for in his next team.

Listen to what he said and tell me if the Baltimore Ravens fit this description. I want to be somewhere that whatever happens, that gives me the best shot of winning the Super Bowl. You know, the business side is the business side.

You know, at the end of the day, I mean, it has to make sense. I'm just not going to, you know, just accept anything at the same time because, you know, it's a long season, put our bodies through a lot. But at the same time, I definitely want to be on a roster that, you know, can go out there and put ourselves in position and be able to win games and get in the playoffs and contend for a ring. Yeah, that sounds like a guy that spent too much damn time in Tennessee. That also happens to be a guy that helped his team go to an AFC Championship game.

And so I'm not going to completely bury him like he hasn't had any experience. But damn it, he may not get any further than what he experienced a couple of years ago with the Titans, except for the Ravens a little bit closer of a sure bet to get into the postseason. And the Ravens got a fight through the AFC North.

I would still put them at the top of the list. We know it's going to be a dogfight in the AFC North. But he did himself a solid. He ended up with the Ravens. He's avoiding the circus of the Dallas Cowboys.

And good on them and good on him. You'll have an opportunity to compete something that he was not going to get in Tennessee because the man was the beginning, the middle and the end of their offense. He was everything.

It was it was nothing in between that. Congratulations to all the Ravens fans. And I guess if you want to feel bad for anything, it's the fact that Patrick Queen is now going to be kind of tackling people for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 8 5 5 2 1 2 for CBS. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 for CBS. There's been so much news today in a free agency with the NFL.

To omit this, I would smack myself. Nick Saban was in Washington, D.C., today, and he was talking about his brand new favorite subject. It's the fact that free agency has pretty much taken over college athletics and taken over college sports. I'm going to take a phone call or two or three, and then we're going to talk about Nick Saban. And then I got to fill you in on the other news. If you thought Aaron Rogers was just going to be the quarterback of the New York Jets, he might have another job opportunity staring him in the face.

Yeah, we're going to talk politics in the most simple way possible. 8 5 5 2 1 2 for CBS. Lee is here from Baltimore. You're on the JR Sportbree show. What's up, Lee? What's up, JR?

Well, that's a high pitch. What's up? Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Christmas came early for Baltimore. In March? Yeah. Okay, good. Yes.

It's like Christmas in March. We got a nice gift handed to us by the GOAT himself, Eric DaCosta. He's really been showing up since he became our general manager, man. He's a great guy. You know, he makes the right decisions. And it seems like everybody that he gets, they come here to Baltimore and they play like a raven. You know what I mean?

I mean, like the new addition we have the Derrick Henry guy. We talked about this. I told you his middle name was Lamar. You remember that yesterday, Gerald? I have a good memory. I do.

Yeah. So even some people say he might not have those treads on his tires anymore. He's 30 years old and all that. But for some reason, when players come here to Baltimore, they like their career revamp or something. Is there something in the water, in the bay? Like what's going on? It may be the crab cakes or something. I don't know, JR.

But I'm so excited. Ryan Hickey doesn't like crab cakes. He don't like crab cakes. Right, Hickey? Who doesn't like crab cakes?

JR's right. I'm not a big seafood guy, Lee. So you don't eat shrimp, salmon, you don't eat fish? Mussels, that's it. Outside of mussels, all for you. Mussels?

Ah, I'll pass on them. Give me some salmon or shrimp or something like that. I don't care too many about mussels. But I do care about dairy, care too many about mussels.

But I do care about Derrick Henry's mussels because he's going to be running over a lot of people. All right. Okay. I didn't know which direction we were going in there, but great. Well, we'll pause that, the rest of it. But you know what I mean, JR. It's looking good for us. And man, I just can't hold.

And Patrick Queen, since he's on the other side, I can't wait to see Derrick Henry run him straight over. Okay. Well, let me know what it looks like in the postseason, okay?

Let's have this conversation in January. Oh, absolutely, JR. I'm going to enjoy the rest of the show, man. Have a good night.

All right. Thank you so much, Lee, for calling from Baltimore. See, he's like, hey, I don't care about mussels, the food. But I do care about Derrick Henry's mussels. Yeah, he's got a lot of mussels.

He's running people over. I don't think Derrick Henry is Mr. Hickey. Derrick Henry looks like he was born like that, don't he? Yeah, I mean, you look at some high school film. I mean, I don't know when he grew, but he's been the same size, it feels like, since like 15. How the hell did they let him play high school football?

Does not seem fair. And I think if you look at the stats, they also like show that. Yeah. And you average like 300 yards a game or something like that. It was like insanity.

How are you another parent? And then look at that guy and just go. You sure? Like he's he's 16. Get out there, Johnny, go tackle him. Meet him in the hole. Yeah, that's a grown man. Somebody check his ID.

Like we've seen this happen. Do you remember Danny Almonte? Oh, yeah. The Bronx, New York. Little League World Series. Little League World Series. How old was he? He was what, 16 playing with 12 year olds? Something like that.

I don't know. Five years older. How fast was his fastball? His fastball was like 80 miles per hour, right? Not for a 12 year old. Not that fast.

There should have been. This guy's over here mowing down 12 year olds. It's like, whoa. It's like the New York Yankees want to sign this guy tomorrow. He's a bigger cheater than A-Rod. I was just like, wow. Not his fault he's a kid.

And I heard he was a coach. So, no, I mean, you can't blame the kid for going out there and cheating. You got to blame the adults, right? Kid can't take culpability for that. Can't. I'm with you. You just do what the coach says. Hey, get out there. Okay, coach.

Bunch of cheating ass adults. I remember that. I remember that vividly. It's like, oh my God, we found the Randy Johnson of Little Leaguers and oh, just older than everybody. Anyway, that's Derrick Henry as a child. It's the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. A lot of talk about free agency. Well, Nick Saban was in DC. Nick Saban was in our nation's capital today.

He was on Capitol Hill for an NIL hearing. And yes, Nick Saban continued beating up on the current state of college athletics. We're going to hear from Nick Saban on the other side of the break.

And there's an NFL quarterback who legitimately, seriously is contemplating a run at political office. Take a guess at who it might be. Take a wild guess.

No, it's not. It's not Jameis Winston. I'm going to tell you about this on the other side of the break. It's the JR Sport Breeze Show on CBS Sports Radio. You're listening to the JR Sport Breeze on CBS Sports Radio.

It's the JR Sport Breeze Show here on CBS Sports Radio. Listen, folks, I just, I just try to do my part. And sometimes I share news with you that just makes me go, what? What? Like there's things that I'm like, I got to talk about this.

I don't have to, but it's newsworthy. Let me get this out the way for a minute. We know Nick Saban is like, I ain't doing this no more. Nick Saban has no patience to coach young men who don't want to be developed, who only want a job. How many plays, how many minutes, how much money are you giving me, Saban? And so Nick Saban's like, I ain't doing this in Alabama no more.

I'm gone. This is not college football. This is not college athletics. This is, it's like the pros.

I'm not dealing with this. Well, Nick Saban wasn't joking about being a public mouthpiece because Nick Saban is already utilizing his influence in Washington, DC. Nick Saban is already utilizing his influence on Capitol Hill because that's where he was today, seated next to Ted Cruz on an NIL Capitol Hill summit.

Yes, they brought the greatest of minds together to discuss name, image, and likeness. And who else better to discuss it than Nick Saban? I mean, they even got to the point where Nick Saban was pretty much asked, Hey, well, why did you step away?

And he was very clear. Everything that I loved and appreciated and my wife loved and appreciated about the game, it's gone. All the things that I believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics.

So it's always about developing players. It was always about helping people be more successful in life. My wife even said to me, we'd have all the recruits over on Sunday with their parents for breakfast. And she would always meet with the mothers and talk about how she was going to help and impact their sons and how they would be well taken care of. And she came to me, you know, like right before I retired and said, why are we doing this? And I said, what do you mean? She said, all they care about is how much you're going to pay them.

They don't care about how you're going to develop them, which is all what we've always done. So why are we doing this? Damn, Nicky, that's, that's a sad story. I guess Terry come with the heat. Yeah, I could see her sitting at home, you know, making biscuits on a Sunday morning and everybody's having a good old time. And Nick, we're getting ready to sign this guy. We're going to take care of you and this and that. And, and they get to the point, she's like, I don't want to do this no more. You know, you done messed up when you done, you done turned off old lady. That's foul, man.

That's terrible. And Nick Saban, I mean, sheesh. I mean, he's already on Capitol Hill. He didn't waste no time. If he's doing this, what's next? Is he going to run for office too? Nicky, he's eligible. Maybe Nick Saban will be president, right?

You know what? If with some of the other options we got, I'd vote for him. Nick Saban for president. Nick Saban for president. We have to, we have to put together a role of his most famous quotes.

What is it? Maria Taylor pulled up on him, right? And what did he say? He said, quit asking. Isn't that what he said? I'm not telling you, all right.

Quit asking. Yeah, he sounds like, yeah, he sounds like he could be a president. I mean, presidents every now and then got to get snippy, right? He's been getting yelled at as a people. That's for sure a lot. What, if Nick Saban was president? Oh yeah. A lot of stern public addresses.

He'd be talking about how the country is changing and I don't know, maybe it already sound like a lot of the stuff we got to hear already. Well, maybe, maybe not. Anyway, this, this story threw me for a loop today.

You just can't make this stuff up. I'm reading you a headline as I speak. Aaron Rogers and Jesse Ventura top Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s list for running mate.

You heard me correctly. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was running on the presidential ballot, attempting to as an independent. He is considering Aaron Rogers, the football player, Aaron Rogers, the New York jet, Aaron Rogers, the man who just blew out his Achilles and is under contract to the New York jets. He's considering Aaron Rogers to be his vice presidential candidate. Kennedy has said he has been speaking with Aaron Rogers pretty continuously for the past month. So what he's doing, he's, he's getting a policy, potential policy advice from Aaron Rogers? Like what, isn't Aaron Rogers supposed to be rehabbing when he's not rehabbing, he's, he's mulling a potential run as a vice presidential candidate?

This is what the New York jets signed up for, by the way. I think Rob, Hickey, how many kids does Rob Salah have on him? He got like 20 kids, right?

Yeah, he's got a ton, seven, something like that? He got a crap ton of kids. Do you think his kids distract him from garbage like this? Oh, probably not. No, because this, his phone's gotta be blowing up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, look, Rob Salah's like, man, I got, I got kids to feed. I got, I got mouths to feed and I got a quarterback out here who's thinking about being on a, a presidential ticket as vice president. Like, so what is he going to do?

He's going to stick around and he's going to be on the ballot and just in case in the small, small, tiny percentage that RFK wins, what is Aaron Rogers going to do, announce his retirement? Where's Brett, well, Brett Favre got bigger issues. Like where's, where's Brett Favre?

Maybe he could call up his old, his old teammate and get some advice here. It's just a wild world that we live in. So not only are we in, I guess we are in the Twilight Zone. Nick Saban's at Capitol Hill talking about the changes in college football.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is considering adding Aaron Rogers as his vice president on the ticket. And then let's take it a step further. Why the hell was Steph Curry on CBS mornings on Sunday? He has a new book out. He's thinking about life after basketball. And Steph Curry was asked about any potential political aspirations.

Listen to, listen to this interaction. Steph Curry for president. Yay. Nay. Maybay.

Maybay. Do you have an interest in politics? I have an interest in leveraging every part of my influence for, for good in the way that I can.

So if that's the way to do it, then I'm not saying the presidency, but if that, if that's politics, that's maybay, but I'm saying if politics is a way that you can create meaningful change, or if there's another way outside of politics, you know, that we can do. You're not ruling it out. No. 2028. You never know. Not that soon.

Not that soon. Okay. Well, that was, that was more joking. Right.

Hickey. Right. Right. Yeah. Joking until, you know, you start getting the ball rolling.

The more the rock was on television last week saying that like half of America would endorse him as president. Like whatever happened to public policy experience? No, we don't want that anymore. Right.

We just pull anybody off the street. Just learn as you go. Right. Is it, is that what it, how it is?

Well, I think Donald Trump showed you four years ago. Oh yeah. Right. That's possible. The apprentice. Is that what he did? Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Good show by the way. I've never watched it. You're fired. What did he do?

He sat around and he gave business advice to like Dennis Rodman, right? Omarosa. Like what happened? I don't know. I never watched it.

It was, you know, you give them tasks and people had to lead the task, two teams, whichever one didn't make it out to go in the boardroom, explain what happened to Donald Trump and each episode he would fire someone. Omarosa for that reason, you're fired. Wasn't she supposed to be his right hand woman or something like that? Yes. And like most people, it did not work out. Yeah.

That seems like that works a lot for his relationships in the general sense. I don't know. I can't even think about an athlete being president. Like I can't. I can't. Aaron Rogers. Like I can't. This is what the New York Jets signed up for. Rob Salah, this is keeping him up at night because he's saying to himself, it's March and this is the crap I have to deal with. It's March. This man's trying to go to sleep.

He got six kids jumping in the bed. You got to think about all the money that it costs for food and groceries. And Aaron Rogers is running around entertaining, I don't know, being vice president. Is there a point where it's not worth it for the Jets? No, they're in too deep. They're in too deep. Like what? I don't want to say what could be worse. Like there can be worse things, right?

Just in a societal sense. Aaron Rogers, you know, is behind a car with a DUI. We never heard any of this crap, right? And I guess it could be worse than the quarterback having political aspirations.

But while he's playing, I can never recall this. What do you think? You think the Jets are just, if the Jets cut their losses, then Joe Douglas might as well just pack up his bags and he might as well tell Salah to do the same, right?

I guess, yeah, in that sense, you're folding up the whole operation at that point and starting from scratch. And it's gonna, this is the bad part for Jet fans. It's eventually going to happen. Like, of course, any given Sunday, anybody could win. Any week, anybody can win. Any year, anybody can win. I'm not, I'm not necessarily putting the Jets in like, oh my God, they're going to be right there with the Chiefs.

It's, they're a contender, but you got to hope for a lot. Like last year, the guy blew out his leg four plays in. Like, what can be worse?

Marco Balletti, what the hell? Like, the Jets are screwed with this, right? They cooked. Again, you got no choice. You, you, you went down the Aaron Rodgers road. You put your eggs in that basket. What else are you doing? You can't draft a quarterback because you're not in a good position to do that.

And who are you going to get now? This is like, this is like, it's like talking to that crazy guy in the street, you know? Like, he's crazy. And then you, you, you just, you just walk by him every day. He's crazy. You ignore him, you ignore him, you ignore him.

And that one day you give this dude two seconds of attention and now you're done. Like, he got you hook, line and sinker. The New York Jets have entertained the crazy guy for two seconds and they are now just down the wormhole.

And the crazy part is, and this is part of what the Jet organization is, he's still by far the best quarterback they've had in what, 50 years? It's not even close. Can we still say that even today? Yes. It's not close. I don't know.

I don't know. I, I, I said that last year. Jared, who are we taking? Chad Pennington? No, no, no, no. But it's just the fact that he is one step away. Okay.

Let me put it to you this way. Would you be shocked? I'm going to give them to game number two for the New York Jets, right? Would you be shocked if Aaron Rogers suffered a season ending injury at any point throughout the course of the year? Would you be shocked? No, but the caveat with that is one is the NFL.

So I wouldn't be shocked with anybody. And two, he's 40. So we get all that. Yes, it's heightened. Yeah, it's heightened.

But at the same time, I will say he has been, for the most part, healthy in his career. So you, you have to, you have to believe if you're, if you're the Jets. No, you don't.

You have to, cause you had no, you have no other choice. Well, that's what I'm saying. The solid Douglas thing, it's like, look, I might as well just quit if I'm going to have to get rid of Aaron Rogers. That's that I get.

So that's self-preservation. But if you're Woody Johnson, who no one's going to strip you of the team, you don't have a choice, but to keep going down the road with Aaron Rogers for at least another year, because you don't have alternatives. This is just, this is sad.

This is miserable, miserable. Wait until he does an interview. The interview is coming. You know that, right? When do you think we get the interview? Is it next week? No, that's way too soon.

We got to drag this out for a while. The whole point of Aaron Rogers is to, for people to talk about him. So the longer we talk about him, cause the idea that he actually would be the vice presidential candidate. I don't buy, unless the fact that he looks at RFK Jr.

He goes, you know what? I'll be your vice president candidate, but I don't have to actually do anything during the season because Aaron Rogers is not going to walk away from the Jets. Cause he's not going to walk away from football.

It's just not going to happen. He just likes to be talked about and he likes to do the dance and he likes to have the spotlight. He's not going to be on a view. I mean, yeah, sure now, but that's, he's not going to tell you his intentions. He'll give you vague nonsense. I'm waiting on his next podcast appearance that I won't listen to.

You're right, but here's the thing. He has to stretch this out. When's training camp?

In July. He has to stretch this out as far as he can until Kennedy either has to make a decision, but let's be fair. He's not going to be the president. So if he wants to do the dance with Aaron Rogers for a long time, go ahead. What's he going to do?

Hurt his chances? So like, what's the difference? Here's the thing. Does Rob Salah, and this is to both you and Hickey, does Rob Salah or Joel Douglas at any point over the next month, two months, three months, four months, will they have to answer a question about this?

Yes, no doubt. Cause you got the draft coming up next month so they can't hide. Eventually they're going to have to get in front of a microphone and at some point when they do, someone's going to ask him about this and they'll smile and they'll go, you know, Aaron has to do what Aaron has to do and all that stuff. And they can't say anything, but they won't know. If you're telling me Rogers is going to squash this before the draft, no chance, no chance.

Hickey, we got to, we got to hear about this. Somebody's going to ask Salah or Douglas about it. I'm with Marco. Absolutely. The last thing Aaron Rogers is going to do is come out tonight, tomorrow, any point this week and say, this is not true.

I'm not running for VP. Bare minimum, he's going to be quiet. And like Marco said, I think 100% agree with, let it fester, let the attention be on him for a long time. And it's that vague rise smile. Oh, well, you know, that's what he's going to give you. He's never going to give you a straight answer. Like when Jimmy Kimmel threatened to sue him, right?

There you go. And you're going to get what he gets, right? So you'll get little like shots at everybody. The idea of why he could do it because he's smart enough and all that little, little digs at here and there at different people, but never a definitive statement because he knows he's smart enough to not pin himself down, to be able to do whatever the hell he wants to do. And it gives everybody enough chance just to talk about it.

And that's all he wants. The New York Jets, they couldn't have imagined this. Like they couldn't. Well. They could have imagined a lot, right? A lot.

Not this, even as goofy as it is. You're probably right. But I would say when you were, you know, deciding whether or not you wanted to go down the Rogers Road, I would think you did some investigative work. You probably talked to enough people in Green Bay that they were like, look, man, don't put anything past him. The one thing you know he's going to do is he's going to have attention. He's going to want to talk. So any crazy situation. I mean, the guy talked about he saw aliens like anything he can talk about to get somebody to talk about him, he's going to do. So maybe not this specific thing, but you had to know something was coming. He wanted to be the host of Jeopardy.

Nothing wrong with that, right? He wanted to replace Alex Trebek. And basically made it known that, yeah, we can do this. I've got however many months outside of football. We'll tape every episode during that. Oh, OK. We'll shut down all the production just for you. Well, shut down the NFL season so he could be VP.

Why not? It's more important than football, isn't it? Well, in his brain, in his brain, he is more important than everything else. He's a fun. I give him this.

He's a fun story to talk about. Thank you, Aaron Rodgers. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. I don't think any of the three of us are running for public office, so you don't have to worry about it.

Not that you would care. You're listening to the J.R. Sportbree on CBS Sports Radio. You're welcome. And thank you. No, seriously, thank you.

I appreciate you. It is the J.R. Sportbree show here on CBS Sports Radio. What a busy, busy day. A busy two days in the NFL. All the movement, all the signings, all the trades.

Well, everybody being traded except for Justin Fields. I feel like he's the last guy at the end of the prom. Nobody wants to go home with him. Well, I guess you don't do that at the prom.

He's like the last guy or the last woman at the end of the bar. Hickey, help me out. I'm mixing these things up. Help me, help me. Well, he wants a prom date and no one right now is asking him to the prom. Ah, there you go. He's asking females and they're saying, no, thank you.

OK, there you go. He's by himself. He's stuck. Stuck with the ugly girl, the Bears. Anyway, 855-212-4CBS. It's 855-212-4CBS.

The Bears going to leave with something, though. Hey, Henry's calling from Minnesota. From the J.R. Sportbree show. What's up, Henry? Hi. Hello. I just wanted to talk to you about the Vikings for a minute.

Sure. So obviously quarterback situation isn't great. Not a huge fan of the signing. What do you think they're going to do? You think you think they're going to do more? I think they got to draft someone.

Yeah, I think they will. But if they draft anybody, it's it's not going to be toward their benefit this year. I think for everything that we see in front of us right now, this may not be what you want to hear. But Sam Darnold is likely to be your starting quarterback.

That's that's looks like what it's going to be. I'm sorry. Yeah, fair enough. Also, I had one trade idea with Justin Jefferson, if I can share that quick. Oh, who do you think wants to trade and give up stuff for him and pay him 32 plus mil?

Who? I thought trade up for the Chargers, the five, get Jayden Daniels or Drake May, maybe. Wait, you want to trade Justin Jefferson to the Chargers?

Out of the conference. Yeah, but why tell me why would the Chargers want to do that? And then pay him 30 plus million dollars a year? I new coach, they want to win. I think the new coach wants to beat the living hell out of people at the line of scrimmage, not not pay a wide receiver. You know, 30 plus million off. Yeah.

Hey, Henry, I appreciate you trying to come up with the ideas, but hey, look, things are going to be on the up and up for Minnesota now that Kirk Cousins is gone. OK, sorry about that. Yeah. Yeah.

No problem, man. If I just to pile on, Hickey, I saw an article that talked about some of the ugliest buildings in North America, or at least the United States of America. Oh, US Bank Stadium is on the list. Really? One of the ugliest, you know, just buildings in the country. Yeah. Have you seen it in person? I have.

It's a giant cube ish thing. Yeah, I've seen it. Would you agree with that being on the list?

Nah, I wouldn't. It's not the ugliest thing I've seen in America. Some of the ugliest buildings in America are like the old ones from the 70s that look outdated. They look like prisons. For instance, the water. Have you seen the Watergate buildings?

No, no, I have not. In D.C., looks looks ugly. Looks like you're in Mars.

It looks like a looks like a colony that they built with terrible windows, terrible architecture. Yeah. US Bank Stadium is just the giant glass thing on your way outside of Minneapolis.

Really? Yeah, there aren't are there ugly stadiums? Mad life is brutal. It just it just looks like a giant slab of concrete in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, it's just boring. It's just boring as hell. Very boring. US Bank Stadium, not that bad. Besides the fact that when they built it, a bunch of birds would fly into it because the birds thought that it was clear and the birds are dead.

I forgot what they did to rectify it, but maybe that's one of the reasons that it's ugly. Anyway, quickly, this day in sports history, March 12th, we got to go back to 2011. There's a guy named Kemba Walker who absolutely lost his mind at the Big East tournament. UConn beat Louisville 69 to 66. Kemba Walker had 19 points. And because this was a tournament, UConn, they had to play five games in five days and they won them all. Take a listen to ESPN as Kemba Walker got busy. Under five minutes to go now. Walker.

Walker into the traffic. Man, that game put Kemba Walker on the map. And I don't know if we're going to have any moments like that. We got all these conference championships that have pretty much already started and began.

I know we have more that get underway tomorrow. We're moving towards March Madness. And it's just a crazy reminder that that was 2011. Kemba Walker is 33 years old. He's already out of the NBA. This man has had so many knee troubles. And he's small, he's six feet tall.

It's just been tough. He's playing out in Europe right now in Monaco. And I hope that he's good.

He's a Bronx product, the product of New York City. Four time All-Star. It's crazy to think about. Kemba Walker made four All-Star teams. Michael Jordan just had the worst of luck, right, didn't he? Michael Jordan had so bad luck that he sold the damn team and made even more money. Even when Michael Jordan loses, Michael Jordan wins. Good for him. Hey, Hickey, there's your next president.

Maybe he could team up with RFK and Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, Jordan, Jordan for president. Anyway, what a wild world. What a wild day. What a wild two days it's been. You've been listening to the J.R. sport re-show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. Oh, man, just just just a wild day. Thank you to. Hey, Hickey, you joined us.

There's so many people that came by today. Lorenzo Neal. Yeah, Pro Bowler and Jonas Schaefer. Hey, came by, talked about the Ravens. Thank you to both of them for coming through and dropping that knowledge. And Lorenzo said he's going to play one more down in the NFL for us. So if you missed the conversation with Lorenzo Neal, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app.

Thank you to Jonas as well for providing his perspective on the Ravens. The J.R. sport re-show here with you on CBS Sports Radio. It's done.

It's a wrap. I'm gone. I'll be back tomorrow. 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. But don't move here on CBS Sports Radio. I'm leaving. I'm gone.
