Hit rewind on the free Odyssey app and you will be all locked in. I'm being joined by super producer and host Ryan Hickey, and we are 25 hours away from the NFL draft in Detroit, Michigan. Can't wait.

Like once we get past the Chicago Bears, that's when the draft really starts, right? Everybody knows where Caleb Williams is gonna go. And now that it's almost a foregone conclusion that he's gonna go to the Bears, now we start to get the positive stories about Caleb Williams, right? Good teammate. Everybody likes him. Coaches dig him.

All right, cool. Let's see how he plays in Chicago. He's gonna have to start his career outdoors. But earlier today we saw the renderings for a new stadium, a new downtown stadium on the lakefront for the Chicago Bears. So if Caleb Williams sticks around for a few years, he could have the benefit of playing indoors. Congratulations and good for him. Some other news throughout the course of the day.

Trey Hendrickson of the Cincinnati Bengals starred defensive end. This man wants out. He wants to be traded. He wants more money.

Of course, the Bengals, those cheapskates. They're like, hey, we got to pay Joe Burrow $55 million. Here's a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

Here's a carton of eggs. Shut up and showed up to work. OK, they don't want to trade him. They want to keep him, but they don't want to pay him. So we'll see how that ends up.

The Detroit Lions, actually a winning franchise for once in a long time, a very, very long time. They're handing out some money. Penay Sewell, Amon Ra's St. Brown. They both get new four year contracts. Amon Ra's St. Brown $120 million coming his way. Penay Sewell $112 million. And in the case of Amon Ra's St. Brown, he's making $30 million a year. He's making the same amount of money as Tyreek Hill.

Amon Ra's St. Brown showed up big time last year, 1500 yards receiving to go along with 10 touchdowns. And here he goes. He's on a damn way. And so we got a lot more to do here over the next several hours. In an hour from now, I'm going to give you a new top six list. We're going to take a look at some of the biggest busts. Quarterback busts in NFL history. We'll talk some more basketball, talk some more quarterbacks.

And in a few minutes, I want to talk to you about Reggie Bush, because earlier this morning, Reggie Bush was in the news for some positive reasons. And it involves his Heisman Award. I know we always talk about everybody getting an award in trophies. And like your little kid, your son, your daughter, they could absolutely suck at sports. But just because they show up, they get a participation trophy just for trying. Shouldn't be that way.

You should earn what the hell you get, right? Reggie Bush earned what he got and they took it from him. We'll talk about Reggie Bush in a minute. 855-212-4227.

If you use the Internet and you can do it safely, you can find me at J.R. Sportbree. Let's talk to Dick. He's calling from Myrtle Beach. Hey, Dick, you're on the Infinity Sports Network. What's up? J.R., how you doing? I got a bone to pick.

I got a bone to pick with you. So you're mixing in all these drivers, the UPS and the Ubers and Lifts. What about the cab drivers? The cab guys out there?

I am. Let me tell you, I'm the cab guy in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I am the number one cab company in Myrtle Beach.

You guys ought to show us a little love. We were here before Lyft. We were here before Uber. We will still be here when Uber and Lyft is gone. We're still out here. We're Chicago Bears fans. We can't wait to close drafts. Reggie Bush, I'm glad he's getting his highs up next.

Oh, thank you, Dick. You know what? The guys from Detroit, they deserve what they got. I'm excited for the season. I'm excited to pick up a new Madden 25. I think that's going to be cool.

Madden? OK. There's a lot to be excited about.

Yes. OK. You got new coaches coming in, new players coming in. It's going to be an exciting, an exciting off-season and I can't wait. I'm happy for you, Dick. Thank you.

Yeah, you got to get the cab drivers some love. We're still out here, brother. Well, hold on, Dick. How long have you been listening? How long have you been... Dick, how long have you been listening?

I've been listening to you for a very long time. In fact, I called you on Thanksgiving. You didn't call me on Thanksgiving because I wasn't here. Well, it might have been the day before. I called you sometime before Thanksgiving, talking about, we were talking about giving thanks about things we were thankful for.

OK. It might have been the day before Thanksgiving. It might have been a day after something like that. You were there. I remember we talked. We talked. Well, that's fine.

It wasn't the day after Thanksgiving either. But anyway, I'm glad we spoke. So listen, Dick, you've been listening for a long time. Thank you very much. Wow. I'm a big fan of yours.

I enjoy you, too. Well, thank you. Well, Dick, you would know this.

I thank a lot of people and I thanked in the past cab drivers. I can't go down the whole list every hour. Come on, Dick. Come on.

You can't do that. Hey, I just had to bust your chops. I've heard you do it before.

I've heard you skip the cab drivers and I'm going, hey, wait a minute. We are out here. Now, don't get me wrong, a lot of people forgot about us, but we're still here. Well, it's it's well, you know what? Hey, Dick, I'm here in Atlanta.

I'm dead smack in the middle of the city in Atlanta. Yep. Dick, if I stood outside on the curb for like five, six, seven hours straight, just with my hand up in the air with a wad of cash, I am more likely to be robbed than I am to get a cab because they don't exist. You know what? And honestly, and I will I'd be willing to I'd be willing to bet that also. But do you know why that is?

Go ahead. Tell me. But do you know why that is? It's because the city and states are getting checks monthly from Uber and from Lyft that is putting a lot of these cab drivers out of business. Well, Dick, I got some advice. Move to London.

The cab drivers out there fought, man. Move, move out there. Oh, no. And here's what I don't need to these guys. I don't even know these guys exist down here.

And the smallest cities like Myrtle Beach. Yeah, we're still here. We're killing them. All right. Well, let's go with the list. Well, listen, when I show up to Myrtle Beach, just give me some free rides, OK? Hey, brother, when you show up here, I got you. I want you.

You can hop in my and you just let me know. I got you. I got you. Thank you so much, Dick, for Myrtle Beach. Appreciate you.

No problem. Hickey, I mean, it's not like most like in New York, I could still stand outside and get a cab like this cabs everywhere, everywhere here in Georgia. No cabs.

I can't go outside and get I wouldn't know when I grew up in New York. Yeah, I could go outside and get a cab. I also knew the local cab places. You know, you call a cab. He shows up in front of your door and boom, he's there. I wouldn't know who to call today to get a cab.

I know car service. Thank you so much, Dick. Let's go to Kansas and talk to Anthony. Anthony, you're on the Infinity Sports Network, the J.R. Sportbrief show.

What's up, Anthony? I want to say thanks for showing us Uber drivers some love. Appreciate it. Much appreciated.

You're welcome. Hold on. Hold on, Anthony. Oh, my God. Hickey, if the Uber drivers are doing so good, what's Anthony sound like?

He got a recording device on his phone. Is he OK? I hope so. I will say, hand up. That's on me there for not maybe doing a better job.

But I figured brevity in terms of just throwing them on would be faster than trying to get maybe a better signal that may not be possible. Nah, Anthony appreciates. Let's try Anthony again. Anthony, your phone sounds like you got rocks in it, but go ahead quickly. I hope it sounds better now. Does that sound better? No, it still sounds terrible.

If you want to try to call back, do that. But it doesn't sound good. OK. All right. All right. Thank you. Thank you, Anthony.

No problem. He showed up, he called to show love to the Uber drivers and he embarrassed them. Maybe Dick is right. Dick has his own cab so he can roll around with a better phone.

I don't know. I think Dick calls from a car phone. What is that? A car phone?

What do you mean? Like a phone embedded into the vehicle? The old school car phones.

What from like 1990? I mean, this is no disrespect, but this is just truthful. A lot of the cabs are older cars.

Or like Crown Victoria, right? So I just maybe maybe Dick has a leg up of he's got a clear connection because he still has a car phone. And so I've got that hard line, if you will. Yeah, I'm sure. Oh, my goodness.

Anyway, what am I doing? 855-212-4227. It's 855-212-4227. Oh, man, I didn't think at the top of the hour we'd be having a beef between the Uber drivers and the cabbies. The next thing I know, the next thing I know, I'm going to have callers from I'm going to have UPS versus Amazon. That'll be the next venture.

Maybe somebody will call me from I think there's one blockbuster left in Oregon. Oh, I'm going too far now. Anyway, congratulations to Reggie Bush. Reggie Bush got his Heisman back. If you've been living under a rock for the past million years or you're not a fan of college football, you'd probably know Reggie Bush, who was in the NFL not as long and as successful as I thought he would be. The man was taken number two overall in 2006. He had a 10 year career and he did slip and bust his ass on that concrete.

But I digress. This man was at USC. OK, the man rushed for like 3100 yards, was a dual threat coming out of the backfield, caught about 1300 yards, had a 43 touchdowns, helped USC win a championship in 2004. And then the hammer got dropped on the man. Almost almost like five years after he left, they said that his family, him. They would take in houses and furnishings and they were living in the agent's house and and years later, the NCAA even said that, hey, man, you participated in a pay for play type scheme at USC.

And so what happened? Not only did USC get kind of stripped of their championship. Reggie Bush got stripped of his Heisman because they were like this man was ineligible to even play. I mean, USC, for a point in time, even banned Reggie Bush as a part of their punishment. And Reggie Bush was just like, man, we we ain't do nothing.

And at this point in time, given all the rule changes and NIL and how much money you can make and where the money can come from. The NCAA is pretty much just like, yeah, whatever, but the Heisman Trust, which basically followed along with the NCAA, they're like, hey, the rules have changed so much here, man, take your trophy back. And I'm like, this is what we had to go through.

This is what we got to deal with. Reggie Bush had to get dragged over the coals as one guy in something that I mean, even before there was NIL, everybody was doing this. But Reggie Bush had to, quote, unquote, pay the price. Two years ago, Reggie Bush was on the I Am Athlete podcast and Reggie Bush was telling everybody, wait a minute, all these these new athletes getting money and they took my trophy away and I didn't do nothing. And listen to Reggie Bush explain. Listen, I never wanted to give my Heisman back.

Never. I didn't want to give it back. I was forced to give it back because the Heisman Trust.

So here's the thing. I never interviewed with the Heisman Trust or we had a conference call. So they made a decision to take the Heisman Trophy based on a conference call and based on, you know, some information that was given that they basically got through the NCAA. The issue with that is the NCAA didn't do their homework. I got to be honest, I did not know when it will come back, but I knew at some point in time I was going to get the Heisman Trophy back. Yeah, well, two years after he recorded that, it came back and he's had some some big time help.

I mean, just a couple of months ago. How about another Heisman Award winner, NFL bust due to I mean, do I say man's out? Do I do I blame it on drugs, preparation, partying, all of the above, right?

Yeah, that's one all of the above. Just every box that would make somebody a bust. Johnny Manziel checked all of them. But Johnny Manziel, he's a reformed man now.

I think he wants to be a professional golfer. He was sitting down with Shannon Sharp on his show and he basically said, man, it ain't fair what they did to Reggie Bush. Look, listen to what Manziel said a while back. Do you believe Reggie should get his Heisman Trophy back?

Without a doubt. In the grand scheme of things, I probably did way worse than Reggie. The last three, four years, I've been walking back into the Heisman. I've been rallying the boy, talking with the guys. There's chatter, there's chirp going around that nobody in this crew, in this Heisman fraternity, it sits right with us that Reggie ain't up there with us every year.

It makes every one of us sitting there choice myth. All these guys that I sit next to on it, he deserves to be on that stage with us every year unequivocally. I'm gonna continue to do everything that I can in my power, whatever that may be. I'm just a little guy. I'm just the old first freshman to win it. I don't have no, I ain't got the clout like I used to, to be able to really make that happen. But for what I can and my part, I will always stand on this table right here for Reggie Bush and do anything that I can in my power to make sure that it's possible for him to even get his trophy back.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, he might be the old hard party and drunk Heisman Award winner. But you did have some respectable individuals. My main man, Tim Brown, was someone who said, this don't sit right with me. And so when the news broke today, what a glorious day, but we shouldn't have had to go through all of this. Listen to the news when it broke this morning. That's how I heard it with CBS Sports HQ. We got breaking news in HQ from college football. Reggie Bush is getting his 2005 Heisman Trophy back.

That's according to ESPN. The Heisman Trust is expected to announce a formal reinstatement today amid what is called, quote, enormous changes in the college football landscape, end quote. Bush forfeited the award, if you remember, in 2010, after the NCAA hit USC with multiple sanctions, including Bush, for receiving improper benefits. But in light of NIL sweeping the college football landscape calls for Bush to get his trophy back and be re intensified in recent years.

That's nice. It shouldn't have taken this long. All these dumb ass stupid politics, everybody holding on to what for what to be self-righteous. Like, what was the big deal? Big deal.

Damn. Like everybody always somebody always got to be made an example of. Who cares? Yes, this is a business, but for the business of college football and athletics, I mean, you would think that this was like the pearly gates of heaven and we had to kick Reggie Bush out. It's like, oh, well, we can't have this and we we can rob the players of money, right? We, as a college football organization, an NCAA and in a husband, like we can go out here and stop the players, prevent the players from making money.

We know a lot of them are making money. But then we're going to punish you for it. Like, this sounds like a bad guy from a movie, like the NCAA is the ultimate gaslighter, like they're stealing from everybody, preventing everybody from making a living. And then they're going to stare at you in the face and say, hey, what you're doing is wrong.

You're the thief. Good for Reggie Bush, but what a joke of a process that this was eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. It's such a double standard. That's why Mark Emmert, the former president, is gone.

He didn't want to deal with all the changes on his watch. Kevin is here from Indianapolis. You're on the J.R. sport re-show. What's up, Kevin?

Hey, J.R., I hope you can hear me. I got to be hands free, man. I'm a UPS driver, feeder driver. I just thought I'd come in and give us some feeder P.S.

love, too. You know, we're out here moving these packages and stuff. I used to call you on the night side when I used to get off work, the Raider fan living in Indianapolis there. But I'm an L.A. transplant, hardcore USC fan. I mean, the people, they were jealous of Reggie coming to school and that drop top six four convertible sixty four Impala, you know, and then the house down in Lemon Grove.

I know what did a man remember with the name and the cement in front of the house from this guy with the record company and all that stuff, you know, and you know, and you know, he was kind of shady, too. But with all this money coming on and all these people here living in Indianapolis at this headquarters of the NCAA, all of them coming to work, are they coming to work with bags or burglar masks on? Because there's a bunch of crooks down there robbing this system of money. And anybody mad at what these college players are making today, you are, number one, you're jealous.

But these kids deserve it all. I had a stepson son was at Nevada. Now, he's got to call us all the time for this extra cash. I used to tell him all the time, you see those little gray haired white folks up there, excuse the expression, up there. That's what you need to go get friends with.

Use what you got to do. Now he kind of see what I'm talking about because they wasn't giving the money back then. But I'm so glad Reggie got his trophy back. I was at that game at the Orange Bowl with him and Matt, played against Oklahoma at, what, at an Orange Bowl.

Well, Matt Leinart, yeah. Yeah, that's a hard core. I am a hard core, you know. You know, from L.A. you got to be down with the Raiders and down with USC, you know, and if they can ever... Hold, hold, hold. Guinness, finish up, Kevin.

I got to hit the break, finish up. Okay, but if they ever, if USC can ever, ever keep the kids that comes around SoCal, look at all the top quarterbacks who's going to be in the trap. Where are they from?

SoCal. You know, there's something about that and of course, Long Beach Poly, all those schools out there, the Bishop, and stuff, and then let's... All right, Kevin. Okay. All right, brother. We love you, man. Drive safe. Appreciate you, Kevin.

All right. 10-4, bro. 10-4, for what? What does that mean?

Hickey, what the hell does that mean? Is that... 10-4, like over and out, right? Oh, oh, oh, 10-4. 10-4, yeah, yeah. That's probably, you know, driver talk right there. Oh, yeah, it is.

I thought he said it. 10-4. Oh, like a conspiracy?

Yeah, I was like, is that like a secret message? Like to me, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. 10-4? You calling me from a like 10-4? I don't know. But thank you for clarifying that.

Yeah, 10-4. Shout-outs to the Uber... I'm going to get in trouble again. Shout-outs to the UPS, FedEx, DHS, Amazon, and everybody else with a truck, okay? Maersk, is that how you say it?

Here for everybody. 855-212-4227.

It's 855-212-4227. Right before we went to break, we talked about Reggie Bush. The man got his Heisman back. He was selected at number two overall in his draft class. And he had a good career.

The man lasted until like, what, 2016? Not too shabby, not too bad for a running back. Now, having said that, we know the NFL draft is tomorrow. I will remind you, we will have every single first round pick for you right here on the Infinity Sports Network.

Starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 Pacific. Myself and Bart Winkler will be here with you for every single pick. We got analysis, you'll get updates and trades and everything going on. We got a busy, busy night tomorrow. So if you're gonna be in the car, you're gonna be in your vehicle, don't worry about it.

We got you covered here for the NFL draft. And I'll be here before then as well at my normal time, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. And so yeah, I'm gonna be here. Hickey, let's do some, is that six hours? Did I do that correctly?

Six hours of air time with JR. They made me do this, right? They made me? I think you volunteered. Well, they asked, right?

Know what they did? And you could not say yes fast enough. Like, why would I say no, right? More titleism. You're giving the people what they want. More of you. More people, okay. I should have a twin. I should. No one would know the difference, right?

Is that how that works? Would your twin then, would he do the first two hours of the show tomorrow and then you would come in for the draft show? Would you do the first two hours, have your twin do the draft show? No, I'd have the twin do all six. I'd be on the beach. You know what we'd do? We'd alternate week to week. Not, you know what?

Not bad. But twins, their brains work different, right? You know how that goes?

I don't know. I've never had a twin. You could look the same, but the brains are different. So maybe one day JR makes sense, the other day he doesn't. We'll know who's on and who's off. Nobody would know.

People would be like, one day he's drunk, one day he's not. I've dated a twin. Have you ever dated a twin? No. Have you? They're different.

Yeah, they're different. Did you ever do the old mix up? No, no, no, no. Knock, knock. Oh, I thought this was Jenny's room. Wow, Jamie, I didn't see you here. Whoa. Whoa, Hickey. No, heck no. I never dated a twin? I don't know.

You don't know until you, well, well, you're in a happy relationship, so don't worry about it, right? That's right. I never will, hopefully, have to date a twin.

Yeah, hopefully you never dated a twin ever. Good, good stuff. Now, what are we talking about? 855-212-4227. It's 855-212-4227. Hey, Lester is calling from Kansas. Hey, Lester, what's up? You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's going on? Hey, what's going on, JR?

Thanks for having me on today, man. No doubt. Hey, I just wanted, you guys talking about Reggie, and I just wanted to put out there, you know, I played Division Two ball back in the day, and from Division Two to Division Three to the big guys up there, Notre Dame, Florida State, Alabama, everybody was getting paid. It's just somebody just sat there and singled Reggie out to make an example out of him, but I guarantee you, if you sent out a survey to any player that played NCAA football, and I guarantee you, they would fill out a questionnaire saying, yes, they got paid. So what they did to Reggie, I think was unfair, and he should never have been stripped of his NCAA husband.

And that's all I have to say, man. No, absolutely. I agree with you, Lester.

Thank you for calling from Kansas. No, it's true. I mean, whether your uncle's getting the money, your mother's getting your money, especially if you're going to go pro.

And this is what happened with Reggie. There were agents all over the place, and everybody's trying to, you know, buy their favor, and these are what you call quote unquote advances. I want to sign you. I'm not hanging out with you because I want to help you in college.

I'm hanging out with you. I'm trying to help you because I want a piece of that bread when you make it to the pros. I don't believe in the NFL, and I haven't looked at the percentages in a while. I think in the NFL, the agents only get about 3 percent on each contract.

Okay. These agents ain't making major dine or for every deal. That's why the big agencies in a lot of cases, man, you got to have multiple clients. It's a it's a small space. You know, there's a lot of agents and professional sports, but there's there's very few who sit at the top of the totem pole and they're able to scrape a couple of mil, a bunch of mil off of like five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 players. And then everybody else got to fight for the scraps. It's tough being an agent and a part of being an agent means you got to put your best foot forward and you got to try to attract and build a relationship and a rapport with the athletes while they're in school.

And how do you do that? I'll help get your mom a car. I'll help you out with your training on the side. I'll pay for the personal trainer and you better hope that you get a deal in the contract.

And here's the facts. In a lot of cases, even after that player turns pro, man, these ain't lifelong agreements. You could help steer a guy's career. You could have paid for his training. You could help pay for his food.

You got to help got his parents a house and help the family out. You could have busted your ass thinking about that future commission. And the player can wake up and go. I'm signed with Scott Morris, OK?

A player could wake up and say, I'm signing. Hickey, what's the guy from Florida that everybody gets angry at every now and then? What's his name?

What's his name? I think he's Rosen House. Yeah, Drew Rosen House.

Yeah. You can wake up and say I'm signed with Drew Rosen House. Like these are the names that people know. These are the dudes making tons of money off these big contracts. And to be honest, there are a lot of agents and want to be agents. They're struggling to pay the fees to be an agent. They got to pay for the test.

They got to pay for their license. Like it is a cost prohibitive system to even be an agent. It really is. You really got to work for it.

Shout out to all the agents that are listening right now and the people that want to be agents. In a lot of cases, it ain't all it's cracked up to be. It's tough. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. You don't got some guys at the top of the draft. And in a lot of cases, if you're not a part of a big agency, the CAA is the excels and what have you, it's a hard knock life trying to be competitive.

At the top of the hour, it's one of my favorite things to do throughout the course of the week. In about 20 minutes from now, I'm going to share with you a new top six list and ahead of the NFL draft tomorrow night. It's going to be a top six list. Some of the biggest quarterback busts that we have ever seen in NFL history. Because as we know, there are a lot of quarterbacks in the draft and there's a lot of teams who need a quarterback.

Come on now. We can take a look at the Bears, the Commanders, the Patriots, the New York Giants. Who else needs a QB? Denver needs a quarterback. The Raiders need a quarterback. There's a lot of teams that need a lot of help and then we got a lot of quarterbacks who are available.

Where is JJ McCarthy going to end up? Are the Giants going to take a quarterback? Who's going to trade out of the top 10 to get additional draft capital? Who's going to trade up because they got a guy that they really, really want? And so there's a lot of question marks, but between the McCarthy's and the Daniels and the Nix's and the Pennix's of the world.

Where the hell are all these guys going to go? There's a lot of speculation that we might have more quarterbacks selected in the first round tomorrow than any time ever before. Adam Schefter was having a chat with Rich Eisen and Adam Schefter says, I think we're going to have six QBs get selected in the first round tomorrow. Listen, we've got what we know are seven teams with quarterback questions in the first 13 picks. I could give you a few more teams behind them. The Rams, the Seahawks, the Cowboys that have their own quarterback questions, not to mention any others that are out there. There aren't enough quarterbacks to go around.

There just aren't. So even if you're not as good, even if your grade is not as high, the chances are you're going to get elevated and because of the need, the demand exceeds the supply. So based on that, I'm going to say we get six in the first round. Well, Hickey, is he teaching economics or is he talking about drugs?

Like what's all that about? A lot of numbers, a lot of need, a lot of numbers. But like you said, end of the day, it feels like this could be a record number of six QBs going around. I mean, forget round one. It can be like the top 15 picks.

15. Not not all quarterbacks, you mean amongst what are you saying? No, no, I'm saying like teams trading up and moving up, like by the time like the first 15 picks are set tomorrow. Yeah, we could like you. I think we'll have six quarterbacks taken. Yeah, I think so. Chicago definitely.

That's one. Washington will take a QB. We don't know what New England is going to do.

Do you think New England is going to sit at number three? Think they're going to trade out? I. I think at the end of the day, they're going to trade out. Yeah, I yeah, I think after messing around with Mac Jones, I think the next time they bring in a QB, they want to feel very confident about him. I don't think they want to just take the guy whoever the hell is going to be there because he's there. You know, is that still going to be Drake May or Jayden Daniels?

I don't. Somebody is going to move. Is it going to be the Patriots? Is it going to be the Cardinals? You know, Chargers will probably stay, you know, where they're at to get somebody for the offensive line. Maybe they'll take a wide receiver of the New York Giants. I mean, no, they'll stay. You think they go wide receiver tomorrow?

Wide receiver, right? They should. I think they will. Yeah, they they need a lot of help around quarterback first. They let let.

What's this guy's name? Let Daniel Jones fail on his own or get hurt. Giants are going to suck anyway, regardless. At least you have Jalen Hyatt already on the team. That man didn't see the ball last year until the end of the season. And then you got another wide receiver to work with. And yeah, there was no reason to keep Saquon on because you're rebuilding that team.

Like, come on, why just pay this running back money when your team is going absolutely nowhere? Atlanta Falcons, they pick at number eight. They don't need no damn QB. Tennessee Titans, they're not picking a quarterback.

They're going to roll with Levis and see what he has. Chicago Bears are probably going to end up picking up another wide receiver of the New York Jets will probably go wide receiver if they don't get offensive line help. Minnesota Vikings, are they going to go quarterback? I mean, keep in mind, the Minnesota Vikings will be selecting at both number 11 and number 23. They're a candidate to move up in the draft. I expect them to. The Denver Broncos, Raiders, two teams that also need QBs.

But it's where things get interesting. One of those teams is going to end up jumping into the top five to get a quarterback that they want. Wouldn't surprise me as well. If the Tennessee Titans, they they end up jumping out of that spot as well. Hey, Hickey, what your cult selecting a number 15?

What the hell you want from them? A guy in your neck of the woods, Brock Bowers. You think he's still going to be around at 15?

I'm getting more nervous by the day. I really hope the Colts are aggressive, trade up, maybe the Bears who need some draft capital and get ahead of a team like the Jets. But the closer we get to the draft, the more and more I see people prognosticating that Brock Bowers going in the top 10. And that scares me.

Yeah. I mean, when you think about all of the tight ends in the NFL right now, how valuable they are to like the good teams. We got the Mark Andrews of the world.

We have the the kiddos and the Kelsey's. You would think that if you want to be competitive, you've got to find a pass catcher up the middle. And Brock Bowers, I mean, outside of busting up his leg, you know, this past season from the day he ended up on on campus here at Georgia or down the road.

This man has been busting ass since he's been a freshman. And so, yeah, wherever he ends up is going to be good. And if he were to be paired with Anthony Richardson, at least that would give him some type of escape hatch than trying to barrel down the middle, trying to tackle everybody. I don't know how you have confidence in this man. Every time I look at Anthony Richardson, I'm just I say, man, injury waiting to happen. I am optimistic. I'm hopeful. I mean, he's not frail, which is good.

So it's now about falling the right way and being smart. I'm praying, fingers crossed here, that he learned his lesson from last year. But there's a reason that Joe Flacco decided to sign that contract. There's a reason why as a backup, what is he in? Eight million dollars, eight million dollars to be a backup.

Nice. Pretty penny, right? They are all anticipating this man to just fall apart at the seams.

And speaking of falling apart at the seams, I see the owner is what is it? Erce, how do you say this man's name? Erce, Jim Erce.

Jim Erce says he's not going to be at the draft. And he said that the. He said the rumors about him being addicted or having an overdose, he said, that's wrong, right now, what he said. Yes, the medical incident, I guess, if you want to phrase it that way, was something with leg pain.

Oh, OK. At four in the morning, that is what Jim Erce is claiming happened. He said he had a he's now had a million surgeries, right? Yes.

Yes. He's been holed up for a while. And didn't he have didn't he have a drug addiction painkillers? Didn't he admit that? He did. He definitely admitted that, amongst a lot of other things.

But yes, he has fought addiction for a lot of his life. OK, unfortunately. Right.

So yes, very sad. I'm not going to sit here and no, just make things up. Wouldn't it be wouldn't it be OK to say that he might still be on drugs? No, then that makes sense. That's what the police said.

The evidence definitely suggests that maybe it wasn't just a leg injury that the cops got called for. All right. Look, not great. All the best to Jim Erce, the owner of the Indianapolis Company.

Look, not great. All the best to Jim Erce, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts. And good luck to your Colts tomorrow, man. They need a quarterback amongst other things. It's quite competitive now in the AFC South. Let's see what the Jags continue to do and what the Titans do.

Yeah, things things things looking kind of. How about your judge, J.R., should we go crazy or do you want to draft a quarterback one year? Aaron Rodgers then have, you know, his his successor waiting in the wings for twenty twenty five. Let's get nuts. So he can complain for the next, what, eight months?

No, thanks. How many TV shows is he going to go on the next day if that happens? He's going to bitch, whine, complain. How dare they take a QB? I demand a trade. You send me to Mars.

I need to go on a wilderness retreat to Oregon. I don't know. Look, the New York Jets need to just get him a wide receiver and just call it a day.

All right. Just take whoever the best is there. There's a lot of wide receivers.

I assume by the time the Jets select that 10, a dunes they will be there. He would be a nice complement to Garrett Wilson, a big receiver to complement the smaller slot ish receiver. So look, you put all of your eggs in Aaron Rodgers basket. You might as well keep keep the man happy before he decides to run for president, come up with conspiracy theories. Whatever else he's been doing. Sure, we'll have a nice word from Aaron Rodgers on Friday about the draft pick. Wild dude, he is the J.R. sport show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.

We're going to take a break on the other side. It's time for a new top six list. We're going to go down a list. Top six quarterback busts in NFL history.
