It is! The JR Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down for us in New York City. And thank you to you for listening.

Cause if you ain't listening, there is no show. So thank you again. This is when we get started. Every single weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. You can lock in on the free Odyssey app. You can listen live and local on your affiliate, wherever the hell you live. If you got SiriusXM, it's channel 158.

And if you have a smart speaker, just ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. A lot of news here when it comes down to USA stuff. Basketball team is losing a player. Kawhi Leonard, what a shock, right? The US men's national team. They lose a coach. Greg Berhalter has gotten the boot. A lot of people looked at this guy, man, you lost to Panama.

You couldn't put up a fight at least against Uruguay. They gave him the boot. No boot for us. We're here.

We got a lot to get into over the next four hours. Of course it's Wednesday, so I'm giving you a new top six list in honor of Kawhi Leonard. I'll give you a top six list of NBA players that never play.

These guys would make the all injury team if they had one. Big 12 Media Day continued. Deion Sanders spoke. Hear from Deion Sanders, some of his quotes in about 20 minutes.

Rory McIlroy is sitting around telling everybody he's ready for the Scottish Open after another choke job at the US Open. Hard Knocks is interesting. This new edition with the all season edition with the Giants is pretty fun. Justin Jefferson is running around promoting his new show, at least wide receivers. He had some words to say about the exit of Kirk Cousins.

We'll get into that. Ari Temkin is going to join us. Speaking of Deion Sanders, Ari was out at Big 12 Media Day today in Vegas. Nice news there. Got some video game news as Jason Tatum and Asia Wilson will be gracing the cover of NBA 2K25. Arch Manning finally got some money.

He said, yeah, you put me in. Hickey, what the hell is this game? College Game Day? What is it? EA Sports College Football 25, I think is the official name. They can't shorten that name. That's why I can't remember.

What is this? I hope I got that right. I don't even know the name honestly myself. EA Sports College Football 25? Yeah. Have they shook? CFB? College Football? No. I mean, the NBA's got it right.

2K, that's it. Boom. Simple. Yeah, 2025.

Well, maybe they've been around about 10 years in college football. Get it together. We'll get into that as well. Of course, at the end of the show, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

Unless you've been living underneath a rock or you're like me, you just wake up. What do I got to do today? It doesn't matter what day it is. It's July 10th.

We'll give you an update there. And today is a unique day in the WNBA. This is like kids' day in the WNBA. So we had matinee matches or games.

Look at me. Interchange in soccer and football. We had matinee games that were like at 11 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock. All with the purpose of allowing younger folks who are in camp to be exposed to the WNBA. So at least they figured out how to market something over the past few years. I think as the years go on, you're going to have a matinee day? Yeah, sure.

But they're going to want to make money. It's true that kids at camp make their parents pay to take them to a game. But we'll talk about that as Angel Reese continues on with her double-double streak in an interesting way. And then you also have Kaitlyn Clark who just, well damn it, she lit it up today in a loss.

She actually had a stat line I'll tell you about later on that we have never seen in the NBA or WNBA. So we got a stacked show between college football, NFL football, USA stuff, WNBA, injured people, Deion Sanders, Big 12. We got you covered. If you want to participate in the show, it's simple. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Let's get with the news that popped up earlier today that is like a shock to nobody. Kawhi Leonard, a member of not just the Basketball Hall of Fame, but a guy who you would look at and say to yourself, this guy would be in the Injury Hall of Fame. As a matter of fact, Kawhi Leonard is on the list of one of the top 75 players of all time. He also happens to be one of the most injured. You think about a guy who's a two-time Finals MVP.

You also think about a guy whose knees just go to the toilet like every time it's time to play basketball. Kawhi Leonard couldn't just finish this past season for the Los Angeles Clippers. The guy wasn't available to play in the postseason and how the hell he was going to be available for Team USA was a joke.

I can't even say it was a shock. Anybody with a brain would look at it and go, why the hell is he on the team? Kawhi Leonard with the torn ACL, Kawhi Leonard with the meniscus, Kawhi Leonard with the thigh, Kawhi Leonard with this and this is the same dude that they just gave a $170 million contract. Somehow, someway, Grant Hill showed up to this dude's hotel and said, welcome to Team USA. And then even yesterday, as tonight, by the way, the United States of America is going to play a friendly against Canada. Kawhi Leonard was asked about this yesterday.

Kawhi Leonard was asked how he felt, how his knee is feeling and listen to his response. I think I'll suit up tomorrow. I mean, everything's been good so far. It's been at a neutral state and hopefully it stays that way. Everything is good so far. Everything is in a neutral state.

Hopefully everything stays that way. His own head coach, Tyronn Lue of the Clippers. Tyronn Lue has to coach this man away from Team USA basketball. He knows what it's like to not see him on the court. He knows how much more work they have to do. I can't wait until there is no Kawhi Leonard at some point this upcoming season and we all know Paul George is not there. James Harden is probably going to think he can just go down the court and shoot whenever the hell he wants. Tyronn Lue even said yesterday that this man Kawhi Leonard is moving as well as I've seen him since before the injury.

And I'm like, what are we shoveling here? And so he was going to play against Canada tonight until, quite frankly, he wasn't. Because we got this message from earlier today. Team USA basketball sent out this tweet. Kawhi has been ramping up for the Olympics over the past several weeks and had a few strong practices in Vegas.

He felt ready to compete. However, he respects that USA basketball and the Clippers determined it's in his best interest to spend the remainder of the summer preparing for the upcoming season rather than participating in the Olympic games in Paris. No details here.

None. By the way, Grant Hill is the guy who runs the U.S. men's basketball team. Do we need to know the details? I don't think we do.

I think we all know them. At some point between yesterday and today, Kawhi Leonard woke up and said something is with my knee. It's not feeling good. And all Team USA could do is just, alright, bro, you got to go home. They said, like, we're not going to keep you around.

You gots to go. And so to think about why they even offered him the spot and the opportunity was comical when they did it for a guy who wasn't even playing for his injury history. It was basically a crap shoot as to whether or not he was going to be available. So nobody was surprised today.

And the memes and the jokes have been flowing. And from the minute that we found out that Kawhi is not going to be participating, not going to Paris, but I guess going back to L.A. to rehab again, whatever the ailment is, maybe it's just soreness. We find out that Derek White is the replacement for Kawhi Leonard. I'm going to get to Derek White in a second. Hickey, why in the hell did they give this man a jersey in the first place? Grant Hill is a smart guy. What the hell were they thinking?

Great question. I feel like we talked about this like two months ago when the news came out that he was going to miss the rest of the playoffs. And it's like, you didn't hear anything about Team USA. It's like, how can you even think this guy is going to be relatively healthy to put him on the roster and think he's going to contribute?

Like you say, it's not a surprise, but it's just a head stretching of like, why waste your time? Why waste a roster spot, you know, through training camp? Why even give him a jersey? Like, I guess he can keep the Team USA jersey, so good for him.

But it's the least shocking thing ever. It makes no sense why he was even in this position to potentially play in the first place. This is the bad part when it comes to Kawhi. He's washed up. He's 33 years old and he's washed up. Can he go out there and give you 25 points a game? Yeah, when he plays. But with his history of thigh issues and knee issues and ACL issues and meniscus issues, he's cooked, man.

Like, I still even struggle to wonder. And I can understand not giving either one of these guys gigantic contract extensions. But Kawhi Leonard just earlier this year, they gave him a contract extension, one hundred and fifty million dollars over three years.

And Paul George sat around and said, well, dammit, I want that money, too. Well, man, you barely play either. I mean, God bless.

He played what, 70 plus games last year. That's the aberration. I feel bad. Maybe there's five of them, I think. If I go to Facebook, I'm sure the Clippers Facebook page is full of bots. I think the Clippers really have five fans, Billy Crystal and Clipper Darrell.

I don't know who else is a Clipper fan, but I feel bad for him. Like, this is a team going nowhere. It was only a couple of seasons ago that Kawhi Leonard shows up and then Paul George says, I want to leave Oklahoma City and I want to go with Kawhi in Los Angeles. This is a dumpster fire. As they move into the new Intuit Dome, everybody who's going to show up early for those fancy seats and the amazing toilets courtesy of Steve Ballmer, they're going to go out there and witness James Harden just throwing up bricks.

I don't know. Maybe they keep Russell Westbrook on the team now instead of trading him, knowing that, well, Kawhi will probably go down and this is just a disaster. The Clippers suck. Sorry.

There's no better way to put it. Now, back to Team USA. Derek White of the Boston Celtics is replacing him on Team USA. And I know, I know when you think a Team USA, you think of stars, you think of big names. Derek White was named replacement like 30 minutes after this announcement. Even his own teammate, a Finals MVP, Jalen Brown, who just won Finals MVP, decided to tweet out a message where it's just like question mark face.

Like, well, damn it. How come I didn't get picked? I mean, there are a lot of other stars. Jalen Brunson in his own right is a star. Kawhi Leonard plays forward, by the way. But there would have been other players, people looking at Damian Lillard.

No, let Damian Lillard get in shape, OK? Does not need to be playing in no damn Olympics. But the fact is, how many more stars does Team USA need? Fill me in.

How many shots are going up? They don't need any more stars. They don't need any more all stars. And I guess, you know, maybe Grant Hill is smarter than us all. Maybe he knows he's not stupid. He knows Kawhi is injury prone. Maybe he said, hey, I'll just add Kawhi. If he can't do it, then I'll just throw in Derek White.

And that's what we got. Never in my life would I, God bless him coming out of Colorado, by the way, never did I think Derek White would be on Team USA. But look, the team needs somebody who's going to dive on the floor and break his face. The team needs somebody who's going to shoot. They need somebody who's going to play defense, even against smaller guards.

They need somebody who will rebound, who will steal, who will play hard, because let's be real, not everybody can do that. Man, I'd be damned if I see LeBron getting, you know, floor burns. I'd be damned if I see Devin Booker diving into the stands. I'd be damned if I see Joel Embiid. Well, a knick-knack injury is coming for him next. I hope not. I'm not wishing an injury on anybody. But if you would have asked me who's next on the line that you would say goes down with an injury, yeah, it'd be Joel Embiid.

Good luck to him. But I'm not mad at Derek White making the team. Come on now, they got Steph Curry and Booker and Anthony Edwards and LeBron and Kevin, oh that's right, Kevin Durant has a calf strain.

Hmm. Maybe there will be space for Jalen Brown anyway. Or maybe Joel Embiid will sprain his toe between now and Paris.

I have no idea. I'm sure Grant Hill has a contingency plan. And either way, Team USA is going to be fine, man. They don't need Kawhi Leonard. They don't. They'll still probably walk away with the gold unless some of these old guys just get hurt.

Fingers crossed that they don't. I mean, between Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid, they were most likely, and one of them has already gone down. Good luck with your rehab, your sore knee or whatever the hell happened. Things just don't change overnight.

I hope Kawhi Leonard feels better in perpetuity because he's never better. Anyway, it's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I told you, we got a busy show. We're just getting started. We got a top six list. We're going to talk about some of the most injured players in the NBA.

It's the all-injury team, okay? We're going to get into NFL hard knocks. We're going to hear some of the comments that Justin Jefferson made about his former quarterback and Kirk Cousins. Get into some WNBA action as Angel Reese and Kaitlin Clark continue to light it up.

Rory McIlroy hasn't lit it up in a very, very long time. We'll get into what the hell has been going on with him. I told you Ari Temkin is going to join us from Sirius XM. Covers all things Big 10. We got a lot to do, and we're just getting started. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Congratulations, you're locked in to the J.R. Sportbree show here on the Infinity Sports Network. Hi, I'm Angie Hicks, co-founder of Angie.

Download the free app today and make the most of your summer with AllTrails. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. Let me tell you something. And I love the green wave, I do. Shout out to all my folks down in Louisiana. Shout out to everybody listening in the world and shout out to all my people who love WWL. Shout out to all my people who love Tulane. I love your back. Tulane has always treated me so nice.

I need to hit up my friends at Tulane. I'll holler at y'all. I love Louisiana. I'll tell you what else I love. I love Colorado. I love Boulder. Boulder, Colorado is beautiful. Beautiful mountains. Nice little town.

Beautiful landscape. And Boulder, Colorado became a centerpiece of football last year. And I don't care if you're talking pros or college, but obviously I'm talking about the Buffaloes. I'm talking about the team that Deion Sanders led to a 3-0 start, but a squad that finished 4-8. I'm talking about a Deion Sanders squad that had everybody and their mother rushing out to Boulder, Colorado. I mean, college game day in Boulder was just, I don't know, was I watching a football game or was I watching the Oscars or the Emmys? I mean, Dwayne The Rock Johnson showed up.

I think I saw Lil Wayne show up. This is for a college team and only one guy can do this. Create this type of buzz. He's been creating this type of buzz for the past 30-35 years. His name is Deion Sanders. And so what's different about a Colorado team that was shot out of a cannon last year? People are like, oh my God, look at Deion Sanders, a genius.

And then, well, his son got sacked to hell. I mean, Colorado might have got sacked more than anybody, more than 50 plus times last year. They need a new offensive line. They had a bunch of dudes transfer out.

I think they got 50 plus transfers that have come in. Deion criticized on how they ended the season with a six-game losing streak. So I think, as we all know, get ready for the cliche, people. Please get ready for the cliche.

And Hickey helped me out here. It's not how you start, but it's how you finish. And they finished terribly. Six straight losses. I mean, Deion's son, Chidor.

This man lit it up, but at one point in time, I mean, not one point in time, he had to start running for his life. If they were a winning program and he was alive and healthy enough to get through the season, he would have been in more Heisman consideration. OK? You think about another otherworldly talent in Travis Hunter. He's playing wide receiver. He's playing defensive back. He's playing everything until he got his liver popped.

OK? This man was lighting it up. Stars were carrying too much of the burden for them to win. Offensive line wasn't doing its job. The defense wasn't doing its job.

And yeah, what did they say? You win the game in the trenches. And so Deion Sanders, with his team now moving away from the Pac-12, who plays in the Pac-12?

Two teams now, forget them. You move over to the Big 12. And now you have this conversation about what do you do in the new conference?

How do you win games? What comes next? What's different?

What's going to change? Deion Sanders spoke today out in Vegas, Pac-12 Media Day, and he pretty much said, yeah, year two is going to be different than year numero uno. The offensive line and the way they train, the way they work, the way they go about their job. When I see the defensive line coaches and the way they're on their kids and the way they're demanding excellence and the way these young men are working. When I see the receiving corps staying at the practice to work with their quarterback coming over, quarterbacks coming over there on off days to work with one another, I just see the warmth and the fire and desire from our young men. And I can't wait till you get an opportunity to see it as well. So I'm very optimistic on what we have on our plate this year. He better hope so. I don't know anybody who wants their son beaten to a pulp.

I don't know anybody. I don't care if you're a coach, if you're on the sidelines or in the stands. I don't know anybody who wants to see their son taking and absorbing punishment, especially a guy who is an NFL prospect in Chidor Sanders.

Kind of crazy, right? Dad, one of the best defensive backs of all time. His son on his way to the NFL as a quarterback, his son being tutored by somebody like Tom Brady.

Where do you sign up for that, huh? LeBron James wishes. Sorry, LeBron. Chidor Sanders threw for more than 3,200 yards, 22 touchdowns, only had three INTs last year.

He was also smashed into the ground. What's next for Chidor? Well, Deion explained how he's gotten better. Listen to this. He told us the ESPN. He works on the little things and not just the mechanics of footwork and everything and ball placement and releases, but getting to know his players, his receivers where they want the ball. You could see after 707s and practice, him grabbing a guy, pulling him to the side, and he's telling him what he want and what he saw. The workouts that are not structured or scheduled, that he has those guys come out there and they can't wait to get out there. The relationship with his linemen. And they don't just love him as a football player, but they love him as a friend and they want to protect him and they want to go the extra mile like they went for you guys. So, he's just a very headsy young man, a very smart man. He's a forward thinker as well and I'm proud of him in every aspect of life. Oh, that's nice.

That's real nice. Yeah, what good are friends if they're not going to protect you? You might as well make friends with the offensive linemen.

You want them to care if they make a mistake because, I mean, let's be real, I think there are some offensive linemen that if they don't like you, that's, oh, I'm sorry, my bad, my bad. Well, they need Chidora Healthy if they want to flip the script, if they want to compete in the Big 12. They'll probably finish at an average record, right? Six wins, seven wins. Dickey, would you peg them for more than seven, eight, if that? Seven, right? I would say seven, yeah, as a ceiling for this year.

And that would be, look, seven and five after a four and eight season. That'd be a good turnaround. That'd be an improvement.

It certainly would. Now, what about his other star player? What about his other star pupil? What about Travis Hunter? He talked about him on ESPN and is he a wide receiver?

Is he a defensive back? Dion, give me some answers here. It's so funny that everybody has an opinion on what he should do and they've never done it. He has a coach that's done it. So I know when to give him rest. I know how many days a week to give him off. I know when he's getting on my last nerve on the bench.

So I need to put his butt out there so he can leave me alone by getting in the game. This kid is a flat out playmaker, man. He is something that we hadn't seen in college football. Charles Wilson was him. Champ Bailey was him. I mean, these guys are unbelievable. But that guy right there, he's the best receiver in college football and he's the best quarterback in college football. Well, damn, we don't got an answer now, do we?

We don't know. He can't do it all right. By the time he gets to the NFL, if you want to make some money, I assume he's going to want to play wide receiver. Come on now.

That makes the most sense. And so knowing you got two stars here on their way to the NFL, knowing that all these other transfers that have come in have to help out and shoulder their part of the burden, these guys in the trenches on the offensive and defensive lines. What are the expectations? Like, what is Deon getting judged on? He was shot out of a cannon last year, 3-0 start, losing six straight games to end the year.

His star players, including his son, are hurt. You're now moving over from the Pac-12 to the Big 12. Well, Deon, you're going to be criticized a little bit differently, right? No?

What do you think? I'm judged on a different scale. My wins are totally different than your wins. Your wins, you're just judging football. That's why I have to start out and give you education and academics and so forth.

I have to give you those things so you understand there's a greater scope. I can't win nine games and we, our GPA suffers. Our GPA can't be high, but we lose another eight games.

We can't not go and grab high school players and you got a bunch of guys in the portal, out of the portal that's getting concentrated. My wins are different. We have to win in every area.

That's the way we're judged and I'm cool with that. That is the most Deon Sanders thing to say ever. Like, we get it. You're coaching. You're not just coaching football. You're coaching men.

You're trying to teach young men how to grow and get an education. We get all of that. We get it. I'm sure, and I'll say we, but I'm sure they were just asking about football. Like, we don't have to deflect. We know you're getting judged differently.

What can we expect this year? Yeah, you're a coach. We know that.

You ain't going to give us an answer the same way you didn't give us an answer about what the hell Travis Hunter was going to do. But every now and then, when Deon needs to kind of, you know, dance into the end zone to avoid a question, Deon is going to get a little philosophical with you. And there's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes, Deon, we know it's about academics.

Sometimes. We know a lot of college athletics is a sham. But come on, man.

They were just asking about football. We know you're judged differently. But ultimately, Deon, you fall into the category of everybody else. You'll be judged on wins and losses. And unless the meter moves up from four victories to, I don't know, six or seven, people are going to start looking at prime time and saying, when is the show over? That's just the reality, especially as his two stars move on to the NFL. I mean, come on now.

And how long is Deon for the ride? And he said he's not going to follow his son. And I believe him. He doesn't need the LeBron James. He doesn't need to be no coach. He don't need all of that.

I believe him. Did he got that next star coming up? He going to stay at Colorado and his son is gone and Travis Hunter is gone? If they don't have some type of success, I'd say that Deon, he'd be on his own clock to move on, go back to high school, or at least stick around in Colorado, count the money and then leave before they fire him. Because you can't fire prime time, right? Deon's going to leave before he gets the boot.

Picky, what do you think? He will leave. There'll be nowhere in the hell he gets fired. He'll leave on his own accord before. He would, yes. But I think in terms of leaving, like, where is he going to leave?

For a new job? I would say no. I think he'd probably retire. High school?

That'd be close to, just about close to it, no? He is a great wordsmith, so he will have some sort of long, you know, soliloquy about why he's leaving, why it's the right thing. Maybe it's high school, maybe he's retiring, maybe he wants to just watch his sons, something, but I'm with you. He has too much pride to stick around long enough to get fired, so I think he will leave, but I don't think he's going to be leaving for a better or even equal job. He'll be right back on television. Oh, he will be.

I'd love an audience for that. Marco Balletti, with an average season, with his son, star, leaving, what do you see Deon doing in another two years? Oh, he's gone.

There's no way. I didn't think he was long for it anyway, and that's not necessarily a knock. Deon Sanders doesn't strike me as a guy that's going to be a grinded out head coach for ten years at Colorado to build the thing into a superpower. It just doesn't strike me that that's what he wants to do.

Now, I kind of agree with Hickey. I don't know if we'll ever get that Deon was fired. I think it would be a mutual parting that they'll word properly so that Deon doesn't actually say he's getting pushed if he happens to stay long enough to get pushed. But I think he'll walk out long before that. Yeah, he'll be gone. It's prime time. You can't cancel prime time.

Oh, you can. And they will eventually, but I think his name still brings enough, even if it's not wins, and he'll walk away fast enough. Again, do you see, like, does Deon Sanders strike you as a guy that's seven years in, has gone from four wins to six wins to nine wins? He's not going to grind it like that. It's not in his way. He'll be gone.

He'll count his money, and then he'll leave, and then he'll get a job on TV, and then he'll watch his son, and then the same old prime time that we got before he got to Jackson, or before he coached high school. No argument. The only one that I will say that's a wild card, and I know people threw it out last year when you had the good start at the beginning of the year, it's just because of what it is and where it is and the star power. No. The Cowboys. No.

Never counted out. Come on. Jerry Jones loves his stars. He loves the media.

He loves to stir the pot. And if he wanted to go that way, if things fell apart, and he couldn't get the Bill Belichick to walk in, don't be shocked if Jerry Jones goes knocking on Deon's door. So I think all things considered, it's likely that the Dallas Cowboys are good or not good enough, and then they have a disappointing end to their season.

I'd say that's probably most likely. At that point, McCarthy is likely to get the boot. We know that. This guy is on borrowed time. You're telling me by the time we pull up to, I don't know, January, February, that Deon Sanders could be the coach of the Cowboys? And Shador Sanders gets drafted in the first round?

We don't need no more LeBron. Come on. You don't tell me that Jerry Jones is not dreaming about this? No. No. Deon and Shador to bring the Cowboys back to prominence?

That's not something that's dancing through his head when he puts himself on that giant pillow at night? No, he's thinking about the salty Egg McMuffins and money, not Deon. Yeah, that's money.

Deon and Shador will equal money. Yeah, it ain't gonna equal no Super Bowl by the time he... Does that matter? Hasn't mattered in 25 years. That guy's ego is so sky high. Come on, man.

He thinks money absolutely is the most valuable team in America, maybe on Earth. But the fact is, I think before he, you know, expires, I'm not wishing that on a man, but he ain't long for Earth. Why are you... That's not funny. That's not a funny... Hickey, tell him to stop. He's like milk in the fridge all night past the expiration date.

No, but you did not help. How do you properly say someone is old? You don't want to be on the radio, hey, before the guy dies. Nobody wants to say that.

Come on. Expires is an interesting term. I get what you're saying. For a human, one day I will expire, okay? Hopefully it's not soon or maybe it's later than sooner. But, you know, Jerry Jones, he's not gonna be around for another, let's say, 20 years, 25, 30, maybe years.

But not to remember what the hell is going on. I would think he'd want to strike while he's hot. Bring back Dak, get a new head coach, and keep the shipper running, man. Come on. Again. Not Fantasies or Chador and Dion has already said, and I get it, if I'm Dion Sanders, why in the hell do I want to coach grown-ass men?

Why? It's not to coach grown men. It's to coach Chador with the Cowboys.

He's alluded to, there's only a few places he wants his son going, right? We know the Cowboys. McCarthy, I'm pretty sure, is on the last year of his deal. We know Dak's on the last year of his deal. This thing goes south and Jerry Jones blows it up. You would be surprised if he taps Dion and then drafts Chador and says, take me to the promised land?

I'd be, I'm surprised that everybody hasn't thought of this already. You know, let's see how the season goes. Let's see what the Cowboys look like, what their draft status is. I don't think they'll be that bad.

Or they could be. Let's see what happens with some of the other quarterbacks. I mean, Quinn Ewers, leave. Like, leave already, okay? I get it. You want to compete for a national championship, but just leave.

I want to see Arch Man in play. So, we got a lot to get to. Balletti, we're going to have this conversation again at some point, I don't know, in another seven months or eight months. I'll be looking forward to it, okay?

Yeah, I'll be here. I'm telling you. I didn't realize I cracked the case on this one, but yeah, it's coming. Alright, I'll ask you for the lotto numbers if you get this one right, okay? You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Man, Marco Balletti thinks we're going to see Deion on the sidelines for the Cowboys? I don't know if Deion has the patience.

I just got to wait eight months. Hickey, you think he'd take the job? I don't see it. It'd have to be money, like the Pistons coach that just got the boot. Monte Williams. Yeah, Monte Williams got, he got like $60 million left on his contract. It'd have to be one of those, I don't want to coach, but I'd be stupid not to take, but I don't even think Jerry Jones is just going to say, Deion, here's, you know, here's 15, 20 mil.

I don't see it happening. That seems like a PR disaster slash nightmare. It turned the Cowboys into a real circus. I was going to say, I'm not even sold that he would be offered the job just because like, I don't, at this point, I think Jerry Jones cares more about the attention than he does winning. I think he likes that he's always a center of attention and like, he ultimately is the, like, Dak is obviously a big name. We talk about him a lot. Mike McCarthy's a big name.

We talk about him a lot. Jerry is the king. If you hire Deion, Deion's the king.

He's the king of the Cowboys. I don't think Jerry's reluctant or I think he is reluctant to kind of hand over that power and that attention to someone else. Too much ego, huh? I would say so. Would you agree?

I agree. You know, Jerry Jones, he does appreciate somebody that he can step on and keep in a cage. We know he ain't keeping Deion Sanders in no cage. We'll see what happens. We got, we got months to see what the Colorado Buffalo's do. We have months to see what the Dallas Cowboys do. And I think I have a good idea what they'll both do. And that's disappoint, or at least be average. In the case of the Dallas Cowboys, they, they might be bad.

I hope not, but they, they might be. They're used to choking. You know what? Speaking of choking, sorry to Rory McElroy ahead of time. My apologies, Rory. This man has not won a major in a decade. How you, how are you one of the best, but you keep getting close and you choke it away. He hasn't won a major since 2014.

Come on, man. Just at the US Open. This man had a two shot lead with five holes left and then he went straight to bogey city. He ended up finishing second behind Bryson DeChambeau. Like this is all mental. This dude was a prodigy.

Okay. 24 years old. You're like, oh, he's the next guy and he can't get over the hump. And so every single week, it seems he has some explaining to do because he's finishing always here in the top 10 and the top 15 this past week, the US Open. He's top two and he blows it.

It's all in between his ears. It's crazy. Matter of fact, with the Scottish Open starting tomorrow, Rory McElroy talked about why he choked again. The way I've described Pinehurst on Sunday, it was like it was a great day until it wasn't. I can vividly remember starting to feel a little uncomfortable waiting for my second putt on 16 and the putt on the last was a really tricky putt and I was very aware of where Bryson was off the tee. So I knew I had to hit it really soft. If the one back didn't matter, I would have hit it firmer and it would have been. But because I was sort of in two minds, I didn't know whether Bryson was going to make a par or not.

It was one of those ones where I just had to make sure that if the putt didn't go in that it wasn't going 10 feet by, which I very easily could have. I look back on that day just like I look back on some of my toughest moments in my career and I'll learn a lot from it and I'll hopefully put that to good use. It's something that's been a bit of a theme throughout my career.

I've been able to take those tough moments and turn them into great things not very long after that. Hickey, if I get a polo shirt and it has Reggie Miller with the choke photo, can I wear that on the golf? They're going to tell me to turn my ass around, right?

Oh, geez. I don't think so. Can I wear that? I mean, they can't stop you, right? Look at my shirt, man.

You have me removed. Would you do the signal as well? No, that'll get you the boot.

You taunting? I might as well do my favorite combination of emojis. I might as well do the throat slash. What emoji was that? It was the shush with the knife on the sickle? The butcher knife? I know I had to combine two emojis to deliver the point. It was the shush emoji with the knife.

That's what it was? Yes. Okay. Yeah. You know what? Hickey, I just had a genius idea. I'm going to sell shirts with emoji combinations on it.

Oh, okay. Have we seen that? Somebody's going to steal it. It's going to be stolen. I'm sure maybe a Jersey Shore boardwalk or an Ocean City boardwalk.

You know, those t-shirt shops. I'm sure maybe. Although it was just down there recently.

I didn't see any. So this could be a market that's right now untapped. Why don't I just share my idea? Can you verbalize a trademark? I don't know.

You can't. JR just said, okay, emojis on t-shirts, TM. Apple makes so much money, they're not going to come after me for using emojis, right?

They can't. No. It's like, hey, stop selling them. Okay, fine. I'm done. I made my money already. Anyway, Rory McIlroy, I got to figure out what a choke emoji would look like for this guy.

It's all in between his ears. Like, he plays golf like I play miniature golf. I start off good, and then I suck at the end. And I never win. I quit. That's how he plays golf.

I'm sorry. Maybe he'll win the Scottish Open, you know, being outside of America. I don't know.

We'll see. It's the JR sport re-show here on the Infinity Sports Network. Be better than Rory McIlroy is at finishing. It's not how you start.

It's how you finish. It's JR wisdom. We're going to talk some NFL on the other side. I watched Hard Knocks last night. I heard Justin Jefferson and Saquon.

Justin wasn't there, but I'll tell you about it. Don't move. Look around. What do you see? Cars? Lots of them. And guess what? They're probably on Auto Trader.
