Ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. I get started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. It's a four-hour show. Where the hell you been? Hit rewind. We've had a fun show.
Hey, thank you so much. A 17-year NFL quarterback and current analyst for the Dallas Cowboys, Steve Berline. He just joined us last hour and we talked about a lot. Talked about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback situation. He said he believes that Bryce Young needs to be out there playing right now just to, at minimum, earn the respect of his teammates. We talked Notre Dame football where he played, young quarterbacks in the league. We talked about coaching and some of the sensitivities of players because even today, remember, Tuatanga Veloa might have thrown Brian Flores under the bus yesterday, but today we actually got a response from Brian Flores. And even Steve Berline was just like, yeah, sometimes the sensitivities of the players is it's a different era.
It's a different time. And a matter of fact, if you weren't listening earlier in the show, we actually talked about that. We got a response from Brian Flores talking all that, well, reported crap to Tuatanga Veloa. And Brian Flores says he has grown as a coach. He has grown as a man since he was with the Dolphins.
Listen to this. Part of coaching is correcting. You know, I'm always going to correct. I'm always going to have a high standard. And I think, you know, look, I've done a lot of reflecting and on this situation. And I think there's things that I could do better for sure. And I've grown in that way.
And I try to apply the things that I could do better than the things that I've learned over the last two, three years. But I would say over the long haul, I've had a lot of great relationships over my 21 year career here in the league. Then he continued on by saying that, you know what, if I saw Tua walking down the street or I saw Tua, you know, I'd be cool with him. I don't I don't know if Tua would be cool with even talking to him, but that's what we heard from Brian Flores. He did say he is happy that Tua is happy and that he's a good quarterback. Listen, I'm happy, genuinely happy, genuinely, genuinely happy for the success that was had.
And I really wish him nothing but the best. And you know, I think the player relationships are very important to me. They I think that's kind of the foundation of coaching. And I got into coaching because I was impacted as a young guy by my high school coaches, my college coaches, my going all the way to Pop Warner. I got into coaching because I want to make that same kind of impact, positive impact, pour into young people, help them become, as Kale says all the time, the best versions of themselves.
And, you know, that's really my goal, always in coaching. So I wish nothing but the best to Tua. All right, book close. Hickey, nothing else to see or say here, right? This is done, right?
Nothing else? I hope so. Yeah, I don't think we need to at the next. Well, I'm sure he'll be asked about at the next press conference. Oh my God. What did you think about what Brian Flores said? OK. Would you be down to meet with him?
No, that'll be a question. Will you meet with him? He's like, man, I got better things. Do you see what I'm doing right now?
I got to play quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, man. Like leave me alone. If I see him, I see him. We'll figure it out. Nothing else to see here.
Keep it moving. Everybody looking for a story. Everybody looking for a story. People sometimes they make up stories.
Everybody. And then I think we've narrowed down. We've started to really eliminate some of the stories here in the preseason.
And thank you so much to our other guests earlier in the show. Zach Stevens came by, a Denver Broncos beat reporter for DVR Sports, and he believes that within the next 24 hours that Denver, the Broncos, Sean Payton, they're going to name Bo Nix as their starting quarterback. So now that we've kind of put that down to rest, what stories are there? We got Brandon. Are you hasn't been traded? No new contract. We have CeeDee Lamb.
No new contract. At this point, Hickey, can we start the season? Am I missing something? Oh yeah. Dak too. But besides that, we're done, right? Like everything is settled. Like what else are we waiting on? Yeah.
I'm trying to think no other, right? There's no other quarterback. Well, the Steelers have to figure out their quarterback situation.
We need an announcement there. No, you don't think, you don't think that Russell Wilson is going to, you got to start him. You have to start Russell Wilson and then allow him to fail. You have to, you can't have it the other way around. Interesting. So it's not a competition in your mind. It is.
It's a competition because it's the spirit of competition. But in reality, we've heard this, I mean, from, from months ago, Mike Tomlin is like, Hey, Russell Wilson, given his experience is going to get the go ahead. Unless Russell Wilson is looking like complete garbage.
You, you, you have to give him the go because then if you do a reverse and you put fields out there and then he stinks and now you're yo-yoing him back and forth. Wouldn't you think that Russell Wilson, if all things being equal, let's say that they're kind of the same. Russell Wilson would get a little bit longer of a leash and he's, he's had two years of getting talked to like he's crap. So I think he'd be okay with it at this point.
Not necessarily that way, but does that make sense? He's going to still show up the word. His confidence is not going to be crushed all that bad. He's going to give you Russell Wilson isms. Which one would you start if they were kind of the same?
I would start Justin Fields. Damn. Get right to it.
Get right to it. And also too, you watch this offensive line with how bad they are. I think you need a more mobile guy just to give your offense any sort of chance of succeeding.
Damn. And to your point, to your point about Russell Wilson and Mr. Positivity, that could work as a positive if he's benched of, you know, he won't be a distraction. He won't, you know, be hanging his head, talking to the media, saying how he felt disrespected or lied to. I'm sure he'll be a great teammate.
Coach Justin along. Man. Know he'll play at some point.
You have basically, you're like the grim reaper of Russell Wilson's career, man. You're just trying to sit the guy down already. He's going to be cooked.
Korea might as well be done at this point. Damn. Someone who's a big Russell Wilson fan up till two years ago even.
You? I predicted when he went to the Broncos, they'd win the Super Bowl. Oh, I was all in on Russ. Let's ask Sean Payton how he feels about that. I think he might like Jack Wilson more than he ever liked at any point, Russell Wilson, which is, wow, that's bad. Sean Payton over the past year doesn't come across as particularly liking anybody at this point. I mean, well, damn.
Sheesh. Anyway, Russell Wilson, can you imagine? He has to play him. He's going to play. That'll be another prediction you get wrong because he has to play. When it comes to Russell, that'll be. No, he has to play him.
He's the veteran. You got to let the old dude, you know, get some get some. You got to let him fall on his face before you just pull the rug from underneath him.
OK, what point is that in your mind? I mean, it could be two games, could be three. You have like a quick you're not afraid of a quick hook here. You're not saying play him and then, you know, you won't think about it again till like week eight.
This goes south end of September. You're pulling them. Does Mike Tomlin look like he's wasting time? I find like if like if I'm Mike Tomlin, I'm like, yo, come on, bro.
You got to sit down like you stinking a joint. If Russell Wilson is out there, interception, interception, he's going to get to the point where he's just like Justin, bro, what you got? And then if Justin stinks, you're going to pull him. So how many yo-yos will we get? How many different starting quarterbacks will we have in Pittsburgh? Are we factoring in an injury?
I'm going to make up one. One of the guys will get hurt and then we'll get stuck with one for the long haul. And Russell Wilson will pull a hamstring and another guy. I don't know. I don't know, man.
I don't know. I could see four like if you're right, Russ starts. He struggles.
Feels them by second week of October. He struggles. Back to Russell in like week 12. He struggles and then it's like the last two games on the round, but I just put Fields in there.
It's who the hell out of it. I was going to say and at the end they somehow and Mike Tomlin has a winning record. That's just that's how it goes for the Steelers and then they'll go and they'll be eliminated in the first round and then they'll have to figure it out again next year. That's just that's the Steelers way, man. I don't know about that.
It'll it'll certainly make for in a very interesting story and we've had we've had a lot of interesting stories. I mean, we've talked about the flag football guy being offended. No, he didn't. Did he say offended?
What word did he use? It was disrespectful. If NFL players are on the USA's flag football team, that that guy might have to get over himself. We talked about Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray is just like everybody's counting us out and okay, I get it. Nobody's talking about us at all.
Why would we? Coming off of a ripped up ACL. You played half the season last year. Now you're fully back.
You got a new wide receiver. Now you're worth talking about missing that. And how about this? This is actually something that was said by Mike Gundy.
This was yesterday, a couple of days ago last week. This man is known to put his foot in his mouth. The last time I remember him saying anything worth a damn and it was actually sickening was the punishment or lack thereof of Ali Gordon for, for having a DUI.
Hickey, I can't even, even repeating it is unbelievable. The man actually was just like, he kind of downplayed driving under the influence and said it was something that he's done plenty of times that that actually came out of an adult human being's mouth. Like it was okay. Not only an adult human being, a guy that's in charge of what, 115, 18 to 22 year old men. And the storm hit him for 24 hours.
And like we do in society, moved right past. Can, can you, he said it, I can't believe he said that. I still can't, even rehashing it is just like, did that idiot say that? Well, he did. And now last week, couple of days ago, he said something else. He said, now that we're getting close to the football season, which starts on Saturday, by the way, in Ireland, Mike Gundy said he is sick of NIL. He doesn't care about it.
I don't know, players, you know, drinking under the influence and driving a car or driving under the influence, but he is sick of NIL. He basically said he wants his players to stop having their agents ask for money and focus on football. Listen to this. That's what I told the players. There's no negotiating now. Portal's over. All the negotiation's history. Now we're playing football.
You can enjoy just coaching and playing football. And a 12 team playoff and everything being so different, just the newness of it. Yeah. And you know, the business side of what we do now is, is we have to have those conversations with them. You know, tell your agent to quit calling us and asking for more money.
It's non-negotiable now. Get them to start again in December. So now we're able to direct ourselves just at football. And that part is fun because there's been so much other stuff going on. It's been hard to really focus on football. Here's, here's the irony.
He said that a couple of days ago. Today, the whole school, Oklahoma state announced that the football players, they will have QR codes on the back of their helmets. So if you are sitting at home, you can donate to their NIL fund. Hickey, is this, is this feed the children? Is this, is this a fundraiser? Like, what are we doing?
I get it. The big 12 is trying to raise money in every way possible and everybody wants cash. People are going to, I know people are going to donate. We're putting, they put a fundraiser on the back of a helmet.
You know what it is? It's nothing. It appears like they're doing something. It appears like they are ahead of the NIL fund. It appears like they're placating the players wants for more money.
In reality, it's doing nothing. You don't think people are going to, so by the way, if you're sitting in this, I think any, and I'm, are you sick of QR codes? Yes.
No, I take that back. It depends on the, on the setting. Like a restaurant, I don't mind a QR code for a menu.
I don't think they work. I want, I want, I want a physical menu. It depends on where I'm at. If I'm going somewhere and I'm quick and just give me a stupid code and I pull it up on my phone. But if I'm at a restaurant, like really sitting down, I want to, I want to look at the menu. You know how fast I can look at a menu, Hickey, as opposed to having to open up my phone and I'll scroll through this and I'll compare this. I can do it when it's right in front of me. Take QR codes at a restaurant for the most part. I hate it. I only hate it when it's dimly lit and then you're struggling to get it, you know, angled correctly.
Need more light to, you know, how'd the camera pick up on it? You've been getting wings at the strip club again, huh? No. Oh, okay.
If my girlfriend is listening, I would never do that. No, no, just some, yeah. What? Yeah, just some restaurants that just are, want to save some electricity.
Dimly lit. Okay. All right.
Yeah. Don't get, don't get in trouble. I got, I got Hickey in trouble. Now I'm in trouble. Damn. You want me to say something to fix it?
You, you went to no dimly lit place. I just say wild things on the radio, Hickey. That I just was talking, one of my friends told me, this is, you know, this is not my personal experience.
It's just what friends tell me that they do. Okay. All right.
No problem. Well, you, any place that QR codes do not work, you said, you said television? Yeah, they don't work on TV. Well, that's what these guys are going to be doing on the back of their helmets. You think that people are not, I mean, they're not going to make money hand over fist. You don't think somebody's going to point their phone out of television and just go, Hey, I'm going to put $5 into their fund. People are going to do it. How?
Like, think about it. Have you ever seen the commercial where they put the QR code in the corner? I don't know about you. I don't watch TV with my phone out, pointed at the TV, waiting for a QR code. By the time you pull out your phone, open the camera and you have to get up.
Let's just be honest here. Cause the camera's not strong enough. You got to get up to go to the TV. No scan it. No, 20 feet away. You, you're fine.
Can't scan. Yeah. iPhone is zoom the hell in real good, man. Yeah, it can. Okay, fine. I take that back.
Let me tell you Hickey, let me tell you, this is the world we live in. It's crazy. Have you, you got an iPhone, right? Yeah, you do.
I text you all the time. Have you realized, well, we know the photos, everything in the photos can be identified, right? You know that, right? Yes. Which is creepy as it is, but Hey, there it is.
Okay, fine. Do you know that? Like, I don't know when the update came at some point over the last year, the phone can identify like plants and animals and insects. Did you know that I've seen the commercials for it?
Yes. I didn't know it was a commercial. I took a photo of a bug on my window, Hickey. And I looked at the photo and it had a little icon that was blinking. I'm like, what is this? This is new. And I tap it and it tells me what this obscure bug is. And I'm like, you gots to be kidding me.
Like what? This is creepy. It's pretty insane.
Like it is insane what technology can do. Hickey, I'll take it. I'll take it a step further. Okay. There was a bug that landed on me outside over the weekend. This thing was tiny as hell. It was tiny and it was caught in my arm here.
Yeah, I got an arm here. Okay. This bug was tiny and white and it was furry. And I looked at it and I said, Oh man, cause this is the world we live in. I said, I have to take a photo of this just so I can see what it is.
Right. This is the most obscure thing ever. The phone knew what it was. This was some little white thing that flew out of a tree that eats tree sap.
And somehow it ended up on me. Maybe I look like a tree. I don't know, but this is technology's too much. So if I can do this with my phone, I can look at a QR code on TV.
And if I know the football game is on and I'm like every five seconds, I'm looking at the back of some running back or the quarterback's head. You don't think people are going to go, I'm going to donate to the fund. They will.
I think they will. I just don't think like they're going to be on TV long enough to scan it. Like they're moving or unless you are consciously standing in front of the TV camera open, waiting to whip it out. Anytime they put the QR code on like you watch football, it moves too fast. Well, they stand there. Like when they, when I call them the plays and they break in formation, they stay. They don't zoom in on one player. These camera angles are, you know, the cameras, TVs are good because they know our attention spans are short. So they, every two seconds, it's a new angle.
It's a new look. They will do it now because they know the QR code is there. They will. Why?
They will. Like if you're whoever broadcast their games. The big 12. I don't know. Why do you care? Is that not Fox, right? Yeah, it's Fox.
Yeah. A lot of Fox. Let's say it's Fox. Why would Fox care?
Well, this is a bad evolution. Maybe Fox doesn't. People are going to scan bro and wait until we get QR codes on the front of jerseys. Wait until that happens.
Buy this now. We just talked about Jeff Bezos potentially being interested in purchasing the Celtics. Jeff Bezos has already bought NFL rights. Jeff Bezos just got NBA rights. If Jeff Hickey, could you imagine if he does buy the Celtics, what the hell is he going to do? He's going to slap an Amazon logo on, it's going to have an Amazon logo on the front of the Celtics jersey. Can you imagine that?
Oh, definitely. Well, just like the Knicks have the spear logo on their jerseys as James Dolan owns the spear in Vegas. I think night and day, night and day, James Dolan is poor in comparison. He is poor in comparison to Jeff Bezos. Let's see, Jeff Bezos network we already established is 200 billion. James Dolan net worth. What is, what is this inherited money that he has?
Let's see. What is he like only worth a billion dollars? I bet you he's in the high hundreds of millions. He's not even a billionaire. Ah, he has a reported net worth of two bill.
Ah, the, the family about six bill. So yeah, he's, he's about Jeff Bezos. If James Dolan walked into the same room with Jeff Bezos, James Dolan would have a short man syndrome.
He would, he'd be serving them cocktails. Oh, you better relax. Oh, no. Remember James Dolan. Remember he's a, he's a, uh, wasn't, he's a recovering alcoholic. He's sober now. Right. Remember? Uh, I did not know that actually.
Yeah, he was. All right. Interesting for a guy who threatened to stop selling alcohol at his own venue to, I don't know, threaten the liquor authority. Listen, Hickey, wealthy people got, they, their problems are crazy. Their problems. What, what, what do you think Jeff Bezos is worried about in the world right now?
Anything at $200 billion? I don't, I don't think so. I mean, your, your company's where, I mean, maybe his girlfriend, I don't know. His girlfriend leaving them, right?
Probably. Do you see the old picture from Jeff Bezos from like 30 years ago? This guy looks normal.
He looked like Pee Wee Herman. This guy, this guy is big. He's big as Brock Lesnar right now. That's what 300, that's what 300, $200 billion will do for you. It can literally buy anything.
It can buy your new body. It went from Pee Wee Herman to Brock Lesnar. He's eating the finest protein.
This guy, you know what? We got to go to break. It's the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. When we come back, speaking of buying a new body, there is a tennis player. This man got in trouble for steroids. He's the number one tennis player in the world, but he's not getting all that punishment. We'll talk about it.
Don't move. It's the JR sport re-show. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. We have certainly gone down an interesting rabbit hole here, going from talking about NFL QBs to college QBs to comments made by Mike Gundy, who said he's sick of NIL. He doesn't want to talk about money, no negotiations. And then the school makes an announcement today. That they will be putting QR codes on the back of player helmets.
So you can go ahead and make a donation to Oklahoma state. Just by watching, you can pull out your phone and say, Oh yeah, I want to give him $5 or a 20. Did you imagine watching like, well, not that we'd see this in the pros, but they're going to be selling stuff, quote unquote, on the back of jerseys. Watch, just take out your phone, show it on the TV and boom, by the Jersey, you want a LeBron Jersey, you want a LeBron Jersey by it. You think NBA or the NBA moving over to Amazon was just some television ploy? No, they're going to be selling you everything just by watching on your phone, on the TV. I mean, we are moving into a completely different world.
So for everybody who hates streaming, the point of it is to not just stream, but to sell, sell, sell and sell us some more. And we also talked about Jeff Bezos, who is maybe potentially trying to buy the Celtics. We heard that he was trying to buy the Washington commanders before Josh Harris got his hands on them. And then I made a joke that before this guy was worth the $200 billion, he looked like Pee Wee Herman. Now he's built like Brock Lesnar.
And I guess $200 billion would do that for you. But in the case of the world of tennis, we got some real news earlier today that the world's number one male tennis player, he got in a little bit of trouble for, let's just say using a substance or having a substance on his body or in his body. This is almost unbelievable, but I guess it is. Listen to this report from the tennis channel. Breaking news for you this morning, Yannick Sinner tested positive for a banned substance called Clust Ball. The good news is he will not be suspected positive for that substance in two different urine samples back in March.
Here's how it happened. His physio Giacomo Naldi was using a topical cream for a wound that he had. Apparently one of the ingredients in that over the counter topical cream had Clust Ball in it. He then gave full body massages, not using gloves as a part of his normal routine with Yannick Sinner.
That's how he transferred the Clust Ball into Yannick Sinner's system. This is where we're at in the world. Well, the world's number one tennis player, the male ranked number one in tennis tested positive for a steroid because the guy giving him his massages was using a cream that went through this guy's skin.
What? And so here he is. He's not going to get a ban. He's not getting the boot.
He had some prize money taken away from him. And that's, that's pretty much it. I like the fact the way they described it, they said the physio was not wearing gloves when he administered these massages. I get, there's some wild stories. Hickey, did you know that some of this stuff was that damn strong?
It would end up in your urine? Come on, man. Nope. Never would have guessed. This is tough. Marco Baletti, did you ever hear anything like this before? That is one thorough massage. Come on, man.
Look, I realize I'm a pessimist. He peed it out. That's what they said.
I'm struggling with this. I'm really shocked. I know they did like a whole big thing and tested positive twice for it. I'm sure they did their whatever report. The substance entered into his system unintentionally through a massage from his physiotherapist. And that's what Barry Bonds was saying. Like 20 years at the cream and the clear and him and Gary Sheffi and then what they were saying, right?
It it's possible. But they put that on their own body. And then like, I'm struggling with the massage. So this was just like a hand, whatever cream to fix this guy's whatever wound. He gave him how many massages that that thing went through his body.
He's a world class athlete. He got a massage every day, I guess. Right. Six a day. One a day.
Right. Two a day. One a workout. Afternoon workout. After a tournament workout.
I don't know. Did he apply this substance every time he gave him a massage? Was that like the the last thing that he put on his hands before he? Well, they say did he not wash before he gave him in his massage at any point? I guess he's a physio is a filthy guy. They said he wear no gloves. Come on. But he's thorough.
He's thorough. No, he's he was taking care of his own wound. Like let's think about this in normal terms. Right.
Hmm. If you have lotion on your hand that you need enough steroid cream or whatever, and you're going to touch somebody else when you put something on it, wear some gloves, right? So something I mean, when you probably put like a Band-Aid and then put gloves so that you're not I don't know.
Well, it's a while watching someone, but it's a wild way to test positive for steroids right through through a massage. It just penetrated. He rubbed this so deep into your skin. Now you're peeing it out. You know, man, if somebody comes by when you're eating food, you're like, yeah, no, I don't want it like and they want to give you the dap up. You're like, yeah, no, let me let me finish or let me wash my hands. This guy's putting whatever cream for a wound is going that deep into somebody else's body from a massage numerous times. I'm struggling here. I'm struggling. Listen, there's one man that we need to ask about this and maybe not.
Deshaun Watson. He knows he has the answer. He knows he has the answer. Is this enough to? I don't know. This is I don't know. So many jokes on the layoff here because I feel like I'm in trouble. Listen, I don't know. Early in the shift, I think I should lay low here. I get it.
I hear you. So you think Yannick Sinner is a cheater? Yeah, probably, probably, yes. Hey, you think he's a cheater? You don't believe this? I mean, Marco makes a very compelling case.
Yannick Sinner is a cheater. I mean, if this guy is an open wound, I mean, is his blood then not also going into his skin? Well, I kind of took it as more like a ward.
No? Oh, that's the way I thought. I mean, because what do you need a cortisone for? They didn't say that it was on his hands. I mean, it could have been on his, you know, his arm or his back or his chest. His back? His leg. How will we give him massages with his back?
Now we're getting into another set of... No, no, no, no, no, no. But I'm saying if you put the cream on your hand and then you just apply it to your arm or your shoulder or your back. And as you said, if you don't wash your hands properly and now you're giving a guy massages, it's going to transfer into his skin. If that's the case, then there is no way that Sinner is not a cheater, because you can't tell me that you put on whatever you're putting on for your body to fix your ankle and you're not washing your hands before you touch another human being. I'm not buying that for a second. It's got to be on his hands.
Has to be. Of course, it's his hands, of course. No, but I'm saying, like, if you put it on your arm, you put it on yourself, you massage him. Yeah, but you're telling me you don't wash your hands before you touch another human being? Well, I guess a massage therapist should.
I mean, they should, right? Maybe. How did this happen? This massage therapist guy's dirty. And Yannick Sinner, listen to his statement. He will now put this challenging and deeply unfortunate period behind him. He will continue to do everything that he can to ensure that he complies with the rules of anti-doping programs. And he has a team around him that are very meticulous, not very.
He says they are meticulous in their own compliance. Just a mistake. The physio treated Yannick without gloves and coupled with various skin lesions on Yannick's body. It was on Yannick's body. Lesions on his body caused the contamination. So this wasn't just skin to skin. It got absorbed via the open sores on Yannick's body.
Yeah, yeah. I think the only word that I was focused on there was deeply, because I feel like this is one deep massage and this is one deep pile of BS that I really struggle to believe. I believe I didn't believe Barry Bonds. I believe Yannick Sinner. So Sinner has the lesions and the masseuse still didn't wear gloves? That's awesome. It's even worse, isn't it?
JR, he's right though. What are we doing? Would you ever rub another man's back if he has three open cuts? If your friend asks you, hey, put Suntan Lush on my back, and he has cuts on his back, I'm like, no. Get away from me.
And meanwhile, you've got some sort of gaping wound on your whole hand. You know what? Let me rub these together. Let's see what we get. What is this, like yellow and blue, man? Green?
What the hell are we doing? The man's last name, I know. He's an Italian man out of Germany. The man's last name is Sinner, okay? So I don't know.
How did USTA believe this? The only way is if, because just hearing this nonsensical story, it's almost like you have to sit somebody down and go, wait, are you serious? This is the story you're going to tell me?
This is what we're going to go through? Is there video of these apparently disgusting massages with open lesions all over the place? Well, he got lesions on his body, and the guy didn't use gloves.
Maybe they weren't noticeable lesions, okay? All right. Y'all have convinced me. Yeah, he's a cheater, okay? Alcaraz all the way.
Alcaraz all the way. It's the JR Sportbree Show here on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm going to go wash my hands, come back, and I'm going to tell you about a few things that happened this day in sports history. You're listening to the JR Sportbree. It's the JR Sportbree Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.
Man, what a show we've had. Former NFL quarterback, 17 years Steve Berline, he came through and joined us. We talked about everything going on with the Panthers, the Cowboys, everything across the league.
Thank you so much to Zach Stevens from DNVR Sports for coming through. We talked about Flores, Brian Flores' response to Tua Tonga Veloa. We talked about Tom Brady saying that the quarterbacks that are coming into the NFL right now, these guys, they're dumbing the game down for them.
He's disappointed in it, disappointed in it. We talked about Mike Gundy. He's sick of NIL, even though his school is basically putting QR codes in the back of helmets to help raise money. We talked about Kyler Murray. His head coach says he's back, looking good. We talked about Miller Moss at USC. We gave an update on Iyuk and Lamb. Neither one of these guys have new contracts yet. NFL players playing flag football, some of the current flag football players representing the USA, where I have no idea.
Well, one in particular feels disrespected that Joe Burrow or Patrick Mahomes may take his job. And we talked about Jeff Bezos and the Celtics potentially buying him. What a busy show.
And then, yeah, last segment, Yannick Sinner. He tested positive for drugs because his massage therapist had a drug on his hands. Anyway, whatever.
I wasn't in the room. I have no idea. It's time to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. Today is August 20th. On the JR Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here on the Infinity Sports Network. And on this day, August 20th in 1990, George Steinbrenner at the time, the man stepped down as owner of the New York Yankees. He paid a gambling guy to kind of dig up dirt on Dave Winfield. He was basically given the boot and told to step down. He was gone for two years. He came back in 1992. But at the time, Major League Baseball's Commissioner Faye Vinson, he explained why he told George Steinbrenner to beat it.
This sad episode is now over. My decision in this case and this result will serve our trust to vindicate once again the important responsibility of the commissioner to preserve and protect our noble game. Could you imagine if, like, I don't know who's in a bad contract? Could you imagine if Artie Moreno of the the Angels was just like, hey, Mike Trout sucks so bad. We try to dig up some dirt on him so I could void his contract. That's some wild stuff, ain't it? George Steinbrenner sued the hell out of them, and eventually he dropped his lawsuit and he was ushered back.
Helps to have money and power. God rest George Steinbrenner's soul. Hey, how about this day?
August 20th, 1995. This was some good news. Monica Seles, she came back, wins the Canadian Open, her first tournament back. I might remind you, in 1993 she was stabbed by a crazy Steffi Graf fan.
Take a listen to this courtesy of Eurosport. It's been an amazing week for me. I mean, for such a long time.
I wasn't sure if I would be back and playing tennis again. And there's so many emotions here from the first day till the last day. And it's just amazing. I can't believe that this is real. I mean, I remember that story. That was some wild stuff. Let's fast forward. Another good story.
This is good news, right? Tiger Woods, peak Tiger Woods. August 20th, the year 2000. Tiger Woods wins the PGA Championship. This man becomes the first golfer since Ben Hogan in 1953 to win three majors in a year. This is courtesy the PGA Championship. Tiger for his fifth professional major championship. And he's in the history books as the only man besides Hogan to win three majors in a year and as the only man to repeat his PGA champion at stroke play. Two days earlier on that same cutting surface, Nicholas had passed the torch and now Tiger was sprinting with it.
Then Tiger Woods, he might, he might be getting a massage right now. That man has been through. No, I'm just saying I got him been through some hell over the past. Damn man. It's been like 15 years now.
He's really been through it. Have you seen the picture of his leg when he wore shorts like a month or so ago? No, I didn't. Oh, rough. It does.
It can't be like Alex Smith leg, right? No, no, but it's not that far off. Whoa. Okay. Okay. Man, how come Tiger Woods doesn't have a movie? How come he doesn't have one of these made for TV movies? Yeah.
Cause he would sue the living hell out of them, right? Yeah. Yeah.
I think you're right. It's coming. You know it. Oh no, we're going to get a Tiger Woods movie. We will. You got all these other movies, all these other athletes, but nothing on Tiger Woods yet. Oh, it's coming, baby. It's coming.
And it's going to be, it's not, it's going to be very colorful. Let's put it that way. He's lived an amazing, interesting life, all the best to Tiger Woods. And those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. Hey, thank you so much to former NFL QB, Steve Berlin, going to be calling the games on the radio for the Dallas Cowboys. Thank you to him for joining us.
