He's coming to us live from New York City. Wherever you're at. I hope you're well. I hope you're safe.
I hope you're good. Shout outs to all my delivery drivers out there. All my people working at the restaurants, the hospitals, the highways, the byways, the service workers. First responders, firemen.
Police, military, security. Shout outs to everybody. I'll be hanging out with you for the next two hours. This is a four hour show. It gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. You want to be a part of the show?
It's simple. The phone number is 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. You can find me online. I'm on the Internet. I am at JR Sport Brief. JR Sport Brief everywhere. We talked about Olympics, NFL preseason, who's playing, who's not playing. A Team USA basketball barely got by Serbia 95 to 91.
Noah Lyles. He ain't won the 200 meter like he said he was. He lost.
He was in third place. And then he told everybody, I got COVID. What you want from me?
I got COVID. What a wild world that we live in. Anyway, Brandon Iup didn't get traded yet. If you were looking for that one, Nick Foles decided to quit. Nick Foles is retiring. NFL Korea is done. It's been a day, folks.
It has been a day. And right now, the Patriots in New England is 0-0. Exciting as Jacoby Percette is interviewed on the sidelines. Drake May was playing the last I looked. I think, nope, he's not out there. No Bryce Young and Drake May is probably done any second now.
You just can't make this stuff up. You want to see the Colts? Do you want to see Anthony Richardson playing in the preseason? No, I don't.
It's tough. He's barely played last year, but I mean, three different injuries. No, let's wait till week one. Yeah, I don't want to see.
I like the Jets. I don't want to see Aaron Rodgers playing in the preseason. For what?
What's the purpose of that? If his leg is crap or as good as they're going to give out it, let it do it in a regular season. Don't need none of this, this quote unquote stuff. As much as I don't like the idea of 18 games. I can understand taking away preseason because nobody, nobody gives a damn anyway. Let's just get to the real games.
And speaking of the real games, NFL dot com is already set for the real games because the NFL on their own website has already decided to release its own power rankings prior to the season. And I want to share with you is some of the teams that are here. The Chiefs are number one. The 49ers are number two. What a surprise, right?
Brandon, are you not traded yet? The Ravens are number three. Not a shock. This is a team that went to the AFC Championship game and lost to the Chiefs because all of a sudden they thought Lamar Jackson was Dan Marino. The Lions are number four.
No surprise there. NFC Championship game. The Eagles are five. Even with that disastrous end to the year last year, they're stacked on offense, on defense. They seemingly fixed the holes. Now they just have to fix how they get along in regards to, you know, play calling.
Good luck, Nick Sirianni. And then they went to the Super Bowl the year prior. Have you noticed a team that's missing? You know, Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Bills. I mean, you think about the past few seasons. Josh Allen every year expected to be in the MVP race. Josh Allen expected to take the Buffalo Bills to new heights. And now the Buffalo Bills, especially on defense, a lot of those those injured guys, older injured guys are gone. Tredavious White is gone and Micah Hyde is gone and Poirier is gone and on offense. Mitch Morris is gone. Supposed to help out Jared Allen or Josh Allen.
Excuse me. And it's no bigger name gone. Then Stephon Diggs. In comes a rookie, a funny rookie and Keyon Coleman. But this Buffalo Bills team is different. So with the NFL's power rankings, the Eagles at five, the Houston Texans are at six and the Buffalo Bills clock in at seven.
With all of these changes and Buffalo with this different is everything is right now. Buffalo Bills spoke to the media. Josh Allen spoke to the media. And he was asked about Stephon Diggs, who is now a member of this Houston Texans team, which, according to the NFL and its power rankings, is ranked ahead of the Bills.
Simple question to Josh Allen. Hey, Josh, do you miss Stephon Diggs? He was a great receiver, right? Jeff's a great player and what he brought to this team was was special.
So miss is I don't know if I'd say miss. You know, he was a guy that was reliable. You can you can look to he's going to have the juice each and every day. I'm sure he's bringing over there in Houston. So definitely, you can't say that you don't miss that.
But I am very happy with what we got going on here and how hard the guys have been working. Damn. The answer is no, then, right? Don't miss him.
Answer is no in a roundabout way. No, he does not miss him. The Buffalo Bills go to Houston on Sunday, October 6th. I'm going to watch that game and for the sole purpose of seeing what Stephon Diggs does. Against his former team. That'll be the only time that Houston and Buffalo meets this upcoming season.
Let's see what they do. You want to know who else is not missing? Stephon Diggs, the head coach, Sean McDermott, who's no longer going to have to answer questions about his. Diva like, passionate wide receiver. I mean, he didn't necessarily say the guy's name, but he says he likes the wide receiver room because we don't got no divas in there.
Listen to this. More than anything, I like where the where the kind of the unselfishness is in terms of that position, you know, in terms of just every day. I think if you charted it, there's so many different catching the ball. I'm talking about all through ones, twos and threes, you know, and I think Joe and Adam and RC have done a really good job. I'm talking about Adam Henry, our receivers, receivers coach, of making sure the ball gets spread around. Damn, nobody. Nobody misses Stephon Diggs.
That sucks. I really do think the Buffalo Bills will be fine. They'll be fine. Are they going to be like Super Bowl contenders, AFC championship contenders like years past?
I don't think so. I think at this point they're just they're good. They're good enough to go to the playoffs. They're good enough to win a round.
Maybe they're good enough to win another one, but that might be pushing it for the Buffalo Bills. And my apologies to everybody in Buffalo and all my good friends in Rochester. Please visit the brewery for me. Genesee, Genesee.
Yeah, Genesee, please have a beer on my behalf. This is thanks for them. They had so many injuries to key defensive players over the past few years.
Now they're gone. The offense, I think they're going to be too reliant on a lot of these these unproven commodities. Keon Coleman is hilarious in a press conference. And how's he going to perform on the field?
I have no idea. Dalton Kincaid going to be the next big time tight end in the league? Is Josh Allen going to be asked to run the ball the majority of the time?
Was James Cook going to be even healthy enough to help balance things out? And so, hey, NFL NFL dot com has the Buffalo Bills here at number seven on their power rankings heading into the year. I think you look at the AFC East. It ain't the Buffalo Bills. I don't think they're going to be on the top anymore.
I don't think that's a given. I think they're going to split victories along with the New York Jets. The Dolphins might win.
And we know the Patriots. They're pretty much going to be the bottom feeders of the division. Hickey, what do you think about the Bills, man? I think they've been knocked down a peg.
They have. I think they are, like you say, good enough to win the division. If they were in any other division in the AFC, I wouldn't pick them to win. So I think they're in the right one for this year. But like you said, I think they can win the division. I think they can win a first round wild card matchup depending on who it is.
And that's really it. Like, I don't think they're better than I mean, any of the teams listed above them, the Texans, the the the Chiefs. I would even put the Bengals into NFL dot com, has the Bengals lower output, the Bengals ahead of the the Bills like I would. They have taken like you said, they've taken a step back. They lost a lot of players.
They didn't add any talent. Yeah, the Bengals. And so let me continue on, because right after the Buffalo Bills, you have the Green Bay Packers at eight. I would maybe put the they're unproven, but I put them right. I'm not mad at their placement.
Now, let me just put it that way. I wouldn't be surprised if into the season the Packers are better than the Bills, even though they have to play in the tough NFC North. The Bengals are at nine. Yeah, I put them in the same space as the Bills.
I kind of think they're even. Dallas Cowboys are ranked 10th. Yeah, nobody expecting out a damn thing out of them. The Miami Dolphins are 11. Who's expecting anything out of the Dolphins?
The weather will get cold and they'll they'll crack. The Browns are 12. They may surprise people if the Sean Watson can play out of a high level, like a Houston Texans level. I think the Cleveland Browns may surprise a whole lot of folks. Pittsburgh Steelers at 13.
I think that's too high. Come on now. You Russell Wilson and fields.
Come on. There's a lot of faith. I trust the defense, not them. The Rams at 14.
Pukanaku is running around on a bad leg. Cooper Cup has been running on a bad wheels for like the past two years. The New York Jets are ranked 15th. I don't know about that. I think the Jets have a better chance of doing something in the Rams charges at 16. No chance in hell rebuilding Jacksonville Jaguars 17. No faith in them. I think they should be higher. The Bears at 18.
I guess that's appropriate. Vikings 19. They don't know what they're going to get out of J.J. McCarthy. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20th. Wow. What a step back for them.
I mean, what are the odds that they go to the playoffs again and knock off the defending NFC champs or low? Yeah. Hickey, your Colts are 21st. What say you?
What do you think? I like it. You know what they are this year? Underdogs.
Snake in the grass. Don't see them coming. All right. If you say so. The Falcons at 22.
Oh, my God. Can can they really be this bad? They can't. They got to get a quarterback now. Falcons are going to be. Falcons are going to the playoffs this year. You're going to playoffs. That was the one. The ranking, at least I have a few more to go.
That was the one I was most surprised at. That's I mean, I'm with you. I think they're I would say right now the favorites to win the division. I think they are going to the playoffs.
Twenty two for them is low. Yeah. Look, they got a quarterback.
That's the most important thing. Kirk Cousins. The only thing that could slow him down is injury.
I don't think that's the case. They got a lot of weapons on offense. They have weapons on defense to help out as well. At minimum, I think they have an average defense. They have some good defensive backs. Can they rush the passer?
No. That's why a lot of people were just like, why the hell did they draft Michael Pennock's junior? So they still have their work cut out for them. Grady Jared is not getting any younger. Twenty two, though.
Come on. Falcons are going to be good this year. Finishing up these power rankings. Twenty three is a team that I don't want to watch Seattle. Number twenty four is the Saints.
Those bums. Twenty five are the Raiders. How long before Devante Adams wants to leave? Number twenty six is Washington. Jayden Daniels.
This is his learning year. Arizona Cardinals. Yeah, well, they've been burned to the ground.
They got to rise up. Marvin Harrison is not helping them out the gate. Tennessee Titans at number twenty eight. They're like a slap together team. The New York Giants at twenty nine. No hope for Daniel Jones.
Not shocked. Number thirty. Denver Broncos.
You got to throw Bo Nix out there with Stidham. The Patriots are at number thirty one. Carolina Panthers slotted at number thirty two.
Yeah. The Falcons are the most egregious thing here on this list. I don't think anything else is all that nuts or crazy. Even the Cleveland Browns, I think, are ranked too low at number twelve. And the Steelers, I think, are too high at number thirteen. I would maybe swap out the Steelers. I would swap out the Steelers and put them at twenty two.
Not necessarily, but just Atlanta Falcons are too damn low. But the thing here, Hickey, about these these lists. You know what they mean? Nothing. Nothing. They just got to go out there and and play play the season out. What are the odds that we get the Chiefs in the Super Bowl again?
Like it has to be the odds would tell you it'll be like the Ravens and the I don't know who comes out the NFC, the Eagles. Right. We get two birds. Oh, OK.
I'd sign up for that. An avian, right? Avian Super Bowl. Yeah. Others are going to say avian flu, not avian flu.
No, no, no, no. Not the flu, please. I've had enough plagues recently. Oh, avian. Just the avian Super Bowl. The ASB.
ASB. Coming to the Big Easy. Oh, that's right.
It is in New Orleans. How about that? Let me tell you, if that's if we get a ball, I guess a different bird would have to be in the Super Bowl for fans to really enjoy it. But a different bird. What bird is that?
Falcons is going to say Falcons go to what's the rival city? Oh, my God. Oh, man. Hickey, I might. You know what?
It's so close. I should go down there this year. I should. You should.
You should go either way. But I mean, if the Falcons make a big time run here. Oh, forget the Falcons. Can only imagine what the fan base must be like going down to Enola.
I forget the excuse. Wait, did you say something? Why are we talking about the Falcons going to the Super Bowl? Well, that bird Super Bowl and had me thinking that it's really in New Orleans.
I'm like, oh, that the rivalry between the you know, the Saints and the Falcons is a good one. So I'm just saying to be like maybe, I think, fun to see that fan base of Atlanta go down to New Orleans and invade the city in which you hate. And it wouldn't be a big deal besides for anybody on the news.
That's it. The news, the news stations down in Louisiana, they'd make a deal out of it. They'd be making jokes. But nobody would care. You're saying it's that rivalry is more hype than substance.
No, I'm saying in terms of NFL miss. Like the only people it's it's a real local thing like nobody. Yeah. Nobody would hear about it. Like it wouldn't be if there would be no noise about it. Besides, you know, the the people on TV in Louisiana going, oh, yeah, the Falcons and the Super Bowl. Like that's all. That's it. Nobody else would care.
OK, I think it could be interesting. I mean, they don't put the name on the scoreboard, right? Is that is that one of them doesn't do that, right? Who? Oh, here? Yeah.
Oh, they draw like a stupid photo and doesn't put the name up. It's just some good old fashioned hate there. Yeah, just it is. I don't know why everybody. Why can't we all just this two fun cities?
Why everybody hate each other so much? Because you only only can have one fun city. Not enough room in this country for two fun cities in this. You know what? They're fun in different ways.
They're fun and that sounds about right. Atlanta versus New Orleans is. I don't even know how to describe it. New Orleans is come have a drink and eat fun, right?
OK. Atlanta is I don't know this. I don't even know how to describe it, man. Just different fun. It's just different, different, naked fun, I guess. Oh, OK. And parties and just it's two people do too much out here, man. It's too much. Like, let's let's eat and spend too much and get dressed up to do what? I don't know. And be out all night is just too much going on, man.
J.R. wisdom right there. Too much going on. Too much. What is there an acronym for that? Is it appropriate acronym? T.M.
too much. T.M.G. Oh, C.M.G. Oh, that that has no ring to it. Let's get that one.
That acronym sucks anyway. Oh, this man, they showed somebody in a home run in Pittsburgh. This guy ran over a kid to get the ball. Oh, what a guy.
Talk about doing too much, doing too much. Just let the kid get the ball. It was a toddler just this this grown adult ran past the toddler in the outfield just to get the home run ball. I give the ball to the top.
Not that the toddler would give a damn, but whatever. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

It is the J.R. sport we show here on the Infinity Sports Network. The Dallas Cowboys are comedy. They're not even trying to be comedy. Here, let me go back to the. These rankings, the NFL had them ranked, I think, at number 10.
So this is this is funny as hell. Jerry Jones spoke to the media not too long ago. Jerry Jones was asked about C.D. Lamb and his contract.
C.D. Lamb is not with the team. He wants a contract. We already know what Justin Jefferson got. Thirty five mil CDs. Lamb's numbers are comparable.
Jerry Jones on contract talks with C.D. Lamb. I don't have any urgency to get it done. The response by C.D. Lamb. He posted his response on Twitter. His response.
L.O.L., period. Just laughing. He said, Hickey, any thoughts on this response by C.D.
Lamb? Just nothing to see here, right? Nothing. Nothing. Nothing to see here.
This is like almost an exact replica, maybe minus the tweet of the whole Ezekiel Elliott fiasco. Like, what is it now? Five years ago.
Oh, my God. When he's like working out in Cabo, like on the beach. And that I mean, he got signed. I think it was like I think it was a week of the first game. I'm pretty sure something like that. So, I mean, if Jerry, I don't know. I don't know.
Do you call it stubbornness to call it extreme patience? Why is he what why is it even I have no I have no urgency to get it done. Why is he even bothering? Why is he talking about he can't help himself? Because we haven't talked Cowboys enough recently.
I don't even you think C.D. Lamb probably just rolled his eyes. He's like, let me let me type this L.O.L.
real fast. And he's probably having dinner right now. We think he is. You think he's in Texas or Los Angeles or something like that?
I think Texas. So maybe having some barbecue. No, of course not. No, no brisket. No, this man is getting ready for the season plan for his contract.
The one that's coming up in his final year with no extension. No, he's having he's eating clean. Hickey, come on. Right. Broccoli, salmon and. Rice, brown rice, grilled chicken.
Yeah, the finest, the finest of brown rice. That's why I couldn't be an athlete ever. I couldn't eat that every day. The discipline you need to eat clean.
Not for me. You'd have a nice chef. Right. Tastes good. Make anything taste good. Well, I mean, I don't think it'd be that good. So I don't think I can afford chef. What wouldn't be that good? No, I'm saying I don't think I would be that good. Oh, as an athlete, meaning I'm going to be making millions and millions of dollars. We're pretending that you see.
Oh, OK. Yeah, we're pretending you see the land. So in that case, yeah, I would ball out for sure. Says the guy who told us yesterday that, you know, he wouldn't eat pizza for breakfast. That's right.
Clean, by the way. The number is pretty much the same across the board. It's about about 90 to 90 to 10.
90 percent of people are going to eat pizza the day after and 10 percent are going to throw it out. And nine to one, Hickey, 10 percent is not 10 percent. You got to you got to try it.
Hickey, try one time. OK. You know what I've learned about that poll again? I will admit I'm in the minority.
I have no problem with that. You had 10 percent of people. Yes. I think part of the reason why the poll was so skewed is that people are not confident in themselves enough to admit they are willing to partake in what we can call a social anomaly. No, that I think is just almost like, oh, like, what an idiot.
Like, of course, I would I would have pizza. Oh, no doubt about it, because they're ashamed to actually admit it. I'm putting myself out there. I am vulnerable. And there's not enough people out there that are willing to be vulnerable as well. That's your problem. You're painting yourself as brave. I am a martyr.
You're stepping out on a limb, letting everybody. I will not eat. What is it? There was a whole show about it. Hickey, remember? Yes. Frozen pizza.
Remember? Cold pizza. Yeah. Come on, man.
There's a whole there's a whole thing about what I call it. Frozen pizza. Now, let me tell you, I will I will eat cold pizza before I eat frozen pizza.
It's better. The frozen pizza comes out of the package and, you know, you got to throw it in the oven or something. I'd rather have the pizza delivered and then put it in the fridge the night after and eat it in the morning. Cold pizza. That's better.
That I would. Yes. That premise I 100 percent agree with, because at least the hot pizza was fresh at one point. Who the hell knows what the frozen pizza, you know? Is it pizza? Well, we don't know what it is. Some of those brands won't name any names.
Is it bread? OK, should I name? No, let me not name one.
So there's definitely a question of is this actually pizza? I'm not naming. No, I'm not. I'm not.
I'm not trying to get in trouble with nobody. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Lee is calling from Cincinnati.
You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. Hey, thanks for taking my call, JR. And I actually think that, first of all, the one problem with what Dickie's thinking is, let's face it, when you leave a pizza out on the on the on the stove or on the counter. Man, it caramelizes the crust, you know, it makes it that much more delicious and it just makes everything a little bit more stiff and it makes it more crunchy. I love it like that. So the next morning when it's sitting out, that's just that much better.
But anyhow, that's not what I called. I think it's going to be Miami and San Francisco like a repeat of Super Bowl 19. Miami? What? And you think Miami is going to represent the AFC and the Super Bowl? Why? Did you see what they did last year?
I saw they did last year. Yeah, but I think they've got the ability to overcome that this year. OK, what's the difference? Maturity.
Help me. Maturity. I guess the best way to say it.
Yeah, because I think it was better. I think that, you know, they've got. Based on what?
He lost weight and he got paid. I mean, what are we doing? No, I just think he's that good. And I think the defense is going to be better this year. And it sure as hell better this year than it was last year.
But I think they've got they've got a shot. All right. I mean, OK, I don't know. I'm not going to trust him in the cold weather.
I mean, here's the deal. If you are the Dolphins and thank you so much, Lee, for calling from Cincinnati. The teams that you're going to go up against to get to a Super Bowl.
They know, you know, let's go on vacation type teams. I know Buffalo is probably falling off a little bit. You got to go to Buffalo. Not fun.
I don't know. Maybe you got to go to New York. Maybe that means nothing with the Jets.
Maybe probably nothing. You got to go through Cleveland. You know, I guess if you get lucky, you go to Houston or maybe. Yeah, this is this ain't this ain't easy land, man. Think about the whole AFC North. This is not this. There's no powder puff cities. There's none. Mickey, am I wrong?
Like, what am I missing here? Every every team that the Dolphins would have to play in the postseason that's worth a damn outside of Houston. They got to they got to play in the cold. Yeah, absolutely. And even if they are in a dome, whether it's in Houston or even if they have a home playoff game, I mean, to have showed you when they play their best opponents, he doesn't play well home or away. So it almost even in a way doesn't matter where they play as long as they're a good team. If you're in the playoffs, you're a good team to a struggles big time. Yeah.
Listen, listen to some of these these potential. I think I named most of them. The bills. Not easy in the playoffs. The Jets.
OK, fine. Whatever is the Jets. What do we got here? The Ravens, the Bengals, the Browns, the Steelers. Not easy. You got the Texans.
Maybe, maybe they take on the Jaguars. That'd be a saving grace. That's it. And eventually you can't play just both of them. Eventually, you got to you got to play somewhere cold and tough.
I don't know. Unless the Dolphins if the Dolphins go back to the Super Bowl, they just have to be world beaters. That's it. Like people have to look at them and have to favor them to go ahead and win the Super Bowl. It's an angle sneak up from behind anybody because after you sweat your ass off in Miami for like five months. And then by the time the weather turns, y'all are cooked. It's all mental. It's all upstairs. Dolphins are not tough. They're not. I'm sorry. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
It's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. I told you about a team visiting the White House. We'll get into that on the other side of the break.

Only on the outside. Me too. Me too.
It really sucks. I got a lot of friends and I don't want to say politics, but I got a lot of friends in D.C. and they are in politics. Like, I feel like there's so many people I know. They go inside, they go to these parties, events, and maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Hickey, I need to get an invite, man. I probably probably politicians are fun to party with. I don't get that. Oh, no, not necessarily the politicians. I got friends who work in D.C. It's all it's one big ecosystem, you know. Right. And just in general, I think there's people down there are fun. These people are my friends. Hickey, that ain't fun. Maybe you're saying I'm not fun.
No, no, no. I'm just saying like you're saying your friends are going to parties. So I was like more associated with thinking about the people at the parties they're going to, not your friends specifically. Oh, they they work for people there. Some of them are media. You know, they do TV, they do radio. They work, you know, for some of the politicians. Some of them work for other groups. They're fun people. Hickey, they're still human.
They are known that they are just, you know, politicians, those around politicians in those circles just don't seem like the most fun people to hang around. That's all. Damn. Well, anyway, it's hard to bring the mood down. Oh, well, you know, burst my bubble. You basically said I'm not fun. It's OK. It's all right. You'll see, says the man who won't eat pizza in the morning.
One day you will. The Rangers were at the White House. Nothing, nothing about politics.
None of that. You know, the team that wins a championship goes to the White House. The Texas Rangers, I don't know about no championship this year.
They stink. They got a record of 54 and 61. They've lost seven out of their last 10 games. But they beat the Diamondbacks last year in that World Series that nobody expected either one of them to be in. And so on an off day, the Rangers are getting ready to play the Yankees.
And I guess it's close enough. Why not make a stop in D.C.? Quick trip. They were at the White House, their general manager, Chris Young. He says it's an honor to be at the White House. It's a huge honor to be here today celebrating the twenty twenty three Texas Rangers in the World Series Champions Championship. And at this time, I'd like to ask Bruce Bochy, our on field manager and leader, to present President Biden with a couple of gifts on behalf of the team. Thank you.
Way exciting, right? Never mind. Never mind.
I was going to ask if. But what gives what they gave him a jersey. Right. So they gave me a forty six jersey and they also I saw they gave him cowboy boots. OK. With the Rangers logo on the front. Wow.
So what is he going to do? He's going to put that in his garage. Right. You can't wear those.
Yeah. I don't think he's wearing those. You imagine he shows up to deliver like a state of something tomorrow. He's wearing Texas.
I couldn't find my other shoes. How appropriate that would be. Right.
That would be very funny. Wow. Wild stuff. A congratulations to the Rangers. Now, I remember a few years ago, was it was it Clemson? The Clemson was it was Clemson or the Bulldogs. One of them went to the White House. And what they eat, was it Burger King, McDonald's or Chick-fil-A or something like that? Right.
I think it was LSU in twenty nineteen and it was McDonald's. Oh, my God. Happy. Well, I guess not happy meals. Big Macs for everybody. I can I can get that outside.
If I'm going to the White House, I want the best of the best of the best, man. You serve me some food I can get outside. What are we doing here? You turning around? Are you denying that invite? Somebody going to stop you from leaving the White House? Can't stop you, right? I guess not.
If they wanted to, they could. That that's that's awful. Imagine going to see. Well, she's not here anymore. He's sick.
Damn. Who's running things out in England? Who's who's running the show out there?
Everybody's sick, right? Beats me. I have no idea. The queen is gone. She's gone. All right. Now it's the king, right? Yeah. Her sons, the son, the son, Charles. Right. Charles.
I thought Charles was sick. Unfortunately, what's the one that the son married? The daughter.
She was at Wimbledon. I don't know her name. What's her name?
Oh, I'm blanking now. The wife. Kate. Kate.
Middleton. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. She she is battling cancer right now. She looked good at Wimbledon. She did.
In good spirits, which is good. What's her husband's name? What's that? Harry. Charles. Oh, here we go.
When it comes to the royals, I got nothing for you. Oh, boy. No, who's the one that lives in California? That's Harry. Yes.
Yes. Prince Harry and Prince William. William. William. Good call. Thank you. William. Sure. A lot of Brits are listening right now.
Banging their radios. Everybody know that off the top. Now, William, he has to be. Well, he can't be running the ship, but. Dad is sick.
His grandma's not here. Imagine going out. What happened? What? What? The way that's phrased.
Man, what would I say? Now, I just just lay at the facts. Just not here consecutively.
Just doesn't sound great. No, she passed when she passed away. Two, three years ago. Yes. Sad.
What is it? Queen Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth the second.
And she was queen since she was like a kid. Crazy, right? Yeah.
What year did she die? Oh, two years ago. Wow. Damn. Yeah.
Twenty, twenty, twenty two. Could you imagine getting invited to go eat out there? And they bring out McDonald's. Could you imagine that? At the Buckingham Palace?
No, I would be my job on the ground. Hello, good sir. Would you like a Big Mac? Well, here we go. Yeah.
Well, that's what we did here. Ellis. Ellis, you call some White House. These this the one time you go. This is the one. This might be the one time you go to the White House for playing football. Right.
This might be your one time you go to the White House and they serve you Big Macs. Oh. Anyway. Oh, my God. I know.
No, I just like come on. Big Macs. So you're saying the Rangers ate good today? They had to. I know they had a spread.
He's some giant dudes, man. Come on. They were there for lunch, though, like lunchtime hour.
Does that change at all the menu, you think? Like, are you having steak at one o'clock, bro? Come on, man.
I'm just I'm just asking. Do you do you think anything in the what? Typically speaking, speaking, do you think anything served at the not that you've eaten there?
I have. Do you think anything at the White House tastes bad unless you just don't have a taste for it? Do you think the food is not good?
I would assume no. I mean, this is not like visiting. What's that stupid place in Vegas? We talk about the heart attack cafe or grill heart attack grill. Yeah, this is not that, man. I'm pretty sure you go to the White House and you show up.
You had the team, right? They put you all in a room. They're handing out hors d'oeuvres. They're just walking around.
People are walking around. You don't even know what you're eating. They're like, what is this? They're like, well, it's it's shrimp tartare. And, you know, here comes some green thing.
It's bright green, but it tastes good. And it is walking around like that for 20 minutes. And depending on the time of day, if it's the afternoon, maybe you don't get a cocktail or a drink or something.
I don't know. And then they go, OK, now it's time to line up in the room and the president walks in and you're just standing there. And now you've got to give this guy gifts. And then afterwards, they put you in a room and you eat dinner and you take pictures and you leave. I would think that's the whole experience. I would think the food is good.
Has to be. Texas Rangers are good. They need to let LSU go back. Get some real.
Not no McDonald's. Come on. Bring back Coachella.
Yeah. What's he up to? He got so much money to disappear. What's he doing? Sitting on a lake somewhere?
That or an ocean. You do it. Was he doing TV? No, he can't do TV. Why? Because he's saying something foul? Because no one understand what he's saying. I know what he's saying. Nobody knows what he's saying. Ed O?
Coach O. Didn't he get in trouble for. Wasn't he also something or another with a young lady? Am I making that up? I'm not trying to get sued here.
I don't know how. Yeah. Like I think it was there was a picture of him shirtless in bed. There you go.
That's right. When he was I think it was after his divorce. So he's on the rebound. The woman was she was younger than he was. Let's put it that way. If you're taking a picture of Coach O in bed, I assume you're on the younger side.
I don't think anyone his age is. What a what a world we live in. It is crazy. If you really think about it, it's like a step back. We got this. We got Bill Belichick doing the walk of shame. Like what's next? We'll have Pete Carroll just like.
Oh, it was true. He is do Pete Collins. What is he going to do? You're going to start a homie fans or something like that. What are we doing? Goes like a Vegas strip club one night with Pete Carroll, like a Tuesday night by himself.
Just he's on the corner. He's going to wear khakis with those gum. Those those Nike Air Monarchs.
They only supposed to wear when you drive the car or mow your grass. You know, I just. What a what a world.
We live in such a while. Like I just told you, Jerry Jones, Jerry Jones, old wide receiver who he's negotiating a contract with. Just laughed at him on social media. Like there was no social media for for C.D. Lamb or Michael Irvin specifically. There's nothing for Michael Irvin to go on.
You had to go talk to a journalist. Now, C.D. Lamb can respond to comments by Jerry Jones in an instant. Like technology has changed for the good. And for the bad. And for the ugly. I guess we just got to accept things for what they are.
Speaking of ugly. Yeah, that's why I didn't get rid of preseason. New England has beaten Carolina in the rain. The score is seven to nothing. It's the third quarter. All those fans enjoying some great NFL football tryouts. Anyway, it's the J.R. sport we show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, we're going to talk about the Olympics. We're going to recap what took place today. I do want you to hear from Charles Barkley what the future is going to look like on TNT, especially as it relates to basketball, even though they're probably not going to have basketball. And Travis Kelce is into more things. That guy ain't bored yet. We got a lot to do.
The J.R. sport we show the Infinity Sports Network. Here's why April chose to vaccinate her child. I think actually meeting someone who was not vaccinated and now has a lifelong struggle with a childhood disease. Really cemented for me that it's super important that we as parents continue to vaccinate our children. Talk to your pediatrician or visit Y vaccines dot com. Brought to you by Merck.
