What Will Bronny Call LeBron On The Court? (Hour 4)

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 everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America.

I might be in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much to super producer and host Ryan Hickey. He's holding it down for us on the boards in New York City. And I don't know where you're at. I don't know what you're doing. But thank you for tuning in.

All my people on the West Coast, my people on the East Coast, people in the Midwest, down South Canada. Hickey, you want to bet Alan in Toronto is listening right now? No, because you're doing that bet. Oh, okay. Okay. I was going to say he wasn't listening. I was going to say he's on a road trip somewhere, you know, because he's retired right now.

What he said. Yeah, but you think he's on the road trip in the car, not listening to the show. You're right.

You are right. What do you think he drives when he does these road trips? Slow. No, he seems like someone in the left lane going 40.

And I love you, Alan. That's that's how he comes off to me. You mean to tell me he's not? No, he rents a Camaro, not a Camaro. What's a faster car now? I don't know. He picks up like a Ferrari. Is that faster?

A Ferrari Lamborghini. Come on now. You think he's moving? I think he is.

He drives like the Georgia football team. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, what a shot. Whoa. Whoa. It's out there at TI to take it. Stand up is in your future.

Oh, yeah. When you coming to Athens, when you going to come down for a weekend? I would love to go.

Penn State, Georgia, college football playoff. Let's make it happen. Although you already said on the air that you wouldn't go. So I'll go.

Whoa. I said that was my reasoning. Because you said it'd be an ass beating. Oh, it would be. I'm not going to.

And I wish I could say different, but yeah, I don't think so. I would go just for the food and the libations. Right. And then you would not go to the game. No, I'd go to the game.

Okay. No, no, no, no, no. I wouldn't. No, no, I wouldn't. I would love to come to Athens though.

That's a bucket list stadium for sure. Man, you say when you come stay in the city, we drive out piece of cake, man. Nothing. Wow. I like work.

I'm like, let's see. It's just a, just a day's work, man. I got friends who drive out there and come back.

It's easy. How far is an hour? You want to drive normal? You want to drive like one of the football players you refer. Let's say normal so I can get there in one piece. It's not going to take more than, you know, I don't go out there if there's traffic.

Why you laugh? You're very specific. You only go out there certain times, certain games. There better not be traffic. If so, you see any red in the GPS, he's turning right around. No, I know when they'll be ready. I know, I know when not to go. You know, it was like 45 minutes. Is it not?

No, no, no, no. It's 45 minutes. If you're driving like one of them Georgia, it depends on if you're leaving from, if I'm leaving from the studio right now, this minute is going to take me, I'd be there in less than 90 minutes, much less than 90. Okay. Less. So it's like, it's roughly an hour and a half, let's just say conservative. Yeah. And if I'm further East, you know, it's going to take me even less.

It's just partially getting out of the city is, is pretty much part of it. Okay. All right.

Interesting. Come through, watch, watch. You want to watch a winning team? Just come on down. I'd love to. I'm just saying, Hey, you know, heck yeah, by the way, I got, I got family at Penn State, so I may make my way up there.

Yeah. Probably November 2nd, Ohio state. Let's go show you what a real game day atmosphere is like. I would root for Ohio state. I'm sorry. Damn. I would. They treat me nice in Columbus.

What'd you want from me? Well, I'm sure they treat you better in state college, but yeah. Are you sure about that? Oh, I'm very sure. That's a guess.

Are you sure? That is a promise. Define treat, treat me better.

Like what is that? I'm not a hard guy to please, but what does that mean? The treat me better. You get a warm welcome whenever you want. We make sure that the red carpets rolled out for you. So a nice drink on the house.

There's plenty of nice places that are upscale. Drink on the house. Okay.

Yeah. I bet you they're in Columbus. Now it's school hours. They can't. What do I look like walking in and they hand me booze?

They can't do that. I didn't make it to a football game. So maybe next time, maybe next time. Anyway, shout outs to all the, the wonderful universities and state colleges are doing amazing things. Uh, yeah, I love school.

I love school so much. I left to do this good stuff. Anyway, I'm only going to be here with you for one more hour. You want to call me up? It's simple. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. As you can tell, Hickey and myself, we're in a good mood. We're happy. We're jolly. There's some people that are not happy and jolly today.

No, not you listening. A couple of NFL players. They might be former NFL players because they got cut. Today was cut day. NFL teams had to get their rosters down to 53 players by this afternoon.

And there were no gigantic names cut. Uh, Kadarius Toney, you know him, right? Kansas City Chiefs.

Also, uh, uh, Butterfingers dropping the ball every chance that he could get. He got cut by the Chiefs. And if the champs don't want you, who's picking them up next?

I don't know. Let's say, uh, the Patriot. No, Patriots ain't touching that guy. Anyway, a future hall of fame coach, Andy Reed, he just told us a couple of days ago, he said that Kadarius Toney, this man got to work. If he wants to make this NFL roster, listen to this. Wouldn't say, I mean, we, we went through last year with him, so we, we kind of know what he is.

He's a talented kid and, uh, um, you know, he's in a battle to make the team and all that, but he, he's, uh, you know, we've never questioned the talent there at all. So it's just him staying healthy. It was the main thing. Oh, okay. Just him staying healthy.

Not really. Come on. This guy was either hurt when he was healthy enough to play, which dropping passes. He was an embarrassment. This guy has made enemies everywhere from New York with the giants, all that. Well, Hickey, they, he's not, they don't have enemies in Kansas city was on a super bowl championship team. Not this past year when they told him don't play, but no enemies in Kansas city. Right? No, but I mean, like he had the one touchdown catch where it was wide open.

If he dropped it, he probably would never have seen the light of day again. Oh crap. Like, okay, sure. He's not hated. The giants fans hate him.

He's not leaving Kansas city, you know, with everyone basically pushing him out of town, but is he going to be missed? Hell no. Oh, wow. Is Bailey's that, well, I guess not.

Nope. Nobody's going to miss Bailey's app. He got the boot in new England.

No Mac Jones. They, they got Jacoby preset. They drafted Drake may.

And so what does that mean? Bailey's happy. He got fired today and it was only a couple of weeks ago, Jerrod Mayo, the new head coach of the Patriots. He was asked, why isn't Bailey's happy playing? Like how come he's not getting reps with the first team and Jerrod Mayo and the nicest way possible said he ain't our guy. I mean, we still talk about competition.

And once again, I would say it's about the quality of the reps and those guys earn your reps. And I think that's how we want to operate. That is the hickey. That's almost a good enough. No, no, I'm not going to call him a liar. Not going to do that.

I was going to put him in the kind of stallions category, but that's not fair. That's not nice. Not nice at all. Oh, I feel like there he's telling the truth if anything. So the guys that are getting reps are earning them. And the guys, I mean, without saying it, the guys that are not are not earning them. I need to get to a play and it won't happen. But we need to get to a place in sports where can the coaches be honest?

Like, you're right. He was honest, but he can't say Bailey's happy is not our guy. He's not good enough.

Come on now. We just drafted a guy. Why the hell will we play him? He doesn't have enough experience. Why can't he be honest and just say we brought in Jacoby because he has more experience. I don't I get it. It's a business. Everybody has to play the game. I know the answer, but I just wish coaches would just say what's on their mind.

I'm going to do. Hey, do you remember? I think it was a skit. I think this was when Obama was president. Remember, there was a skit.

Wasn't somebody like translating for Obama to, like, say what was on his mind? You remember that at all? No, I remember the handshake skit. I don't remember the mind reading skit. There's another skit. I think it's I can't tell the difference.

It's key or appeal. I don't know the difference. OK, but one of them is stand the taller one. He said, yeah, he's standing next to I think Obama. This might have been at the correspondence. Yeah, this was like a bit at the correspondence dinner. And then he was like translating what Obama was saying.

And I feel that's what we need when we when we have coaches standing up like like what what is forget coaches. What is really going through Russell Wilson's mind when he's saying this stuff? Does he actually believe it or is there some other subtext we can get? That one might be I think he believes what he says. No, he doesn't come on.

I mean, that's what we talked about before. It's not a lie if you believe it. He has like 20 people helping him to craft these messages.

Even after a game, he has an idea what he's going to say. Come on. You know what? I take back what I said. I think it's probably what you just said. I don't think he's lying or maybe believes what he says, but he wants a certain image out there. He'll say whatever it takes to uphold that image. He's going to Mr. Positivity. He may not even be thinking he may not at this point be programmed to think negative thoughts, but he'll have those lines in his head just running through like a politician where no matter what the question is, I'm going to say these three phrases. Is Sean Payton said that last? She said, I need a quarterback, not a guy running for office.

That's what he said. Like if you ask Russell Wilson, hey, man, you ever have a bad day? What's he going to tell you? No, I've never had a bad day in my life. Every day is a learning experience.

Like, man, shut up, brah. You ain't never had a bad day ever. Well, every day is an opportunity to get better. And that's the part about life. And look, if you can be that optimistic and it makes you happy, then maybe I'm living life the wrong way. I probably am.

But I need some honesty. You know, let's keep on going down the list because we've had quite a few people talk. You know, we mentioned Hassan Riddick. Hassan Riddick is still not with the New York Jets. The New York Jets are so much suckers. They decided to trade for a guy who they know wanted a contract and now they're beefing. And so we've reached the point now where Rob Salah, the head coach of the Jets.

This man has had the live from day one. No, he's not even lying. He's just following the party line from when Aaron Rodgers got into the building. Hassan Riddick is still not at work. Trent Williams still not at work. At least we know Trent Williams will actually show up when they pay him. Rob Salah was asked, is there any way that the guy who's never played on the Jets before and wants a new deal? Is there any way that we're going to see him week one? You tell me whether or not Rob Salah is telling the truth.

Take a listen to this. Yeah. Well, um, you know, depending on, I'm assuming he's in phenomenal shape, you know, like I said, he's a, he's a veteran. He's, he knows what he needs to get ready. He needs to get ready. Um, you know, he's had success in multiple buildings and multiple schemes, uh, with multiple coaching staffs. And so he's going to know what he needs to do to be ready for week one. So he still has plenty of time. Uh, Rob Salah ain't telling no lies.

That man is telling the truth because he knows it doesn't matter. They could, let me choose my words carefully right now. Rob Salah will play anybody from anywhere. If he's going to help the New York jets win a football game, because all these guys that we talked about that have gotten fired today in the NFL, all these guys that, that got cut every single one of them here, I'll give you a list again. You're ready for it. Here we go. Kaderius, Tony gone. Hey, Desmond Ritter. He got the boot from the Arizona Cardinals gone. Bailey Zappi gone. Alan Robinson from the giants gone. Anders Carlson, kicker for the Packers, gone. Even cut Frank Gore Jr's son, the Buffalo bills didn't even keep the guy's son around gone. If Rob Salah sucks, if the jets suck, he's going to be gone too. Hickey, you think they fire him in the middle of the season?

If things go sideways, they would, right? Oh yeah. If Aaron Rodgers says, get this guy out of here, he's gone. Hey, Nathaniel Hackett, you're up.

They would fire. Yeah, that's his friend. It's his friend.

Sean Payton hates him, but it's his friend. They would do him like Mayweather did that referee over. Could you see Aaron Rodgers in the middle of a game? He go, Hey Rob, he could go upstairs. He'd get on the phone.

Rodgers would go to the sideline. He called upstairs. He wouldn't even call a Joe Douglas. He called Woody Johnson. He'd get on the phone to Woody Johnson and just say, Hey, it's telling Nathaniel.

He got to run this just like the way Mayweather did that referee over the weekend. This is the New York jets are hilarious. They're the jets. Good luck to them this upcoming season. Hey, when you got the power, you use it.

That's, that's how life works, right? It's the JR sport show here on the infinity sports network. And we're going to take a break when we come back. Speaking of power, LeBron James is on a, I guess a victory tour. And he recently sat down on an episode of the shop.

It's his own show. It's what happens when you have power and LeBron James detailed how his working relationship will go with his son. What will he call him? How will they work this out on the court? LeBron James has answers.

And LeBron James is a funny guy. You can hear him on the other side of the break. And I didn't forget speaking of power. There's somebody else who has their own show. I'll detail. You tell me if you want to listen me, I'll be here.

I'm not going anywhere. It's the JR sport reshow, the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief.

It's the JR sport reshow here with you on the infinity sports network. Okay. Okay.

A little outcast, a slick Rick, the art of storytelling. Okay. It's like that. Y'all all right.

It is the JR sport reshow. This is the art of storytelling. Unfortunately, I have to tell you about a few individuals, individuals who lost their job today. Bailey Zappi, Kadarius Tony. We talked about some guys who haven't even showed up to work.

Trent Williams, Hassan Riddick, Odell Beckham Jr. is not healthy enough to start the season to work. This man is on the PUP list, physically unable to perform. Hickey, imagine if they had that.

This is going in the wrong direction. Imagine if they had that list for, I don't know, just, just normal people, not, not, not doing athletic activities, but you would just put on the PUP list and everybody's just like, you put it on your, your shirt or your forehead. You got to walk around with it all day. I'm trying to think like, that would be funny.

First of all, especially if they let, you know, label what happened physically unable to perform. Why doesn't, why isn't somebody walking around in an NFL stadium with that, like on a shirt or a hoodie, I'm missing out here, man. You know, I'm really missing out. I can make money off of that, don't you think? I don't think you're missing out. I think right now you just kind of walked into an untapped market. Take it.

Just put it on a hat, put it on the shirt, physically unable to perform. It's conversation starter, right? Oh, absolutely. You show up to Thanksgiving, you meet your in-laws for the first time and you got to wait, wait, wait. You can't meet your in-laws for the first time. That don't make no sense, does it? Well, maybe it does, right?

Could be. Maybe your future in-laws will say. There you go. No, but you could also meet your in-laws for the first time.

You could. True. People run away and do things. Dynamics are all different.

Yes, they are in 2024. Imagine meeting a family, let's put it that way. And you have a shirt on that says physically unable to perform. You'd be the talker, you'd be the talk, you'd be the conversation point for the next five to ten years. You would be. Sorry honey, I can't do the dishes. I'm on the PUP list.

Physically unable to perform. You'd sell a lot of shirts, I think. I think I would. I would.

I think I would. All right, so no one listening take that idea. It's JR's, all right? Yeah, it's mine. Take, don't steal it. Don't steal it.

I'll work on it. Anyway, someone who doesn't have to work on anybody stealing his ideas because he's a billionaire is LeBron James. He doesn't have to worry about getting cut or fired. He's the one professional athlete, I guess outside Aaron Rogers, he's doing the cutting and the firing. He won't admit it.

He's even doing the hiring. I mean, he got his son drafted even though his son unfortunately dealt with a life threatening scare. And now he's a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. What a good life. Not bad for LeBron James. Nice genetics.

Good job. Anyway, this man just won another gold medal. And so now he can tell jokes.

He can crack jokes because he doesn't have to answer tough questions from reporters or stupid ones. So LeBron James has his own show. Of course he does.

The Shop. And so he was sitting down enjoying this victory lap and how great he is, which he is. And LeBron was asked, what's the dynamic going to be between you and your son on the court? Like you're his dad. But when y'all are on the court, how is this working relationship going to go? And LeBron James is just full of jokes.

Life is good for LeBron. Have you thought through, not relationship because you always be his dad, always be a son, but what's your working relationship? Is he going to call you dad at practice in the locker room? No, we already laid that. No, we already laid. No, he can't.

We already laid that down. You cannot call me dad in the workplace. Once we leave out of the private facility and the gates close, I could be dad again in the car.

If we ride together at home, I could be dad. No, he got to call me like two, three, or Brian, or go if you want to. It's up to him.

I mean, it's up to him. But it's easy for me. It's easy for me. Cause it's easy for me. Cause I've been calling him Bronny for so long. It's not like I've been called a son, a son.

Like, so it's easy for me. It's going to be the adjustment for him, but he cannot, we cannot be running down the court. And he'd be like, dad, no, you cannot do that. Why not? Why not?

Why not? Hey LeBron pass. He's like, first of all, he ain't saying nothing to that man. He can't pass the ball.

Damn it. I'm hoping he can't say anything. There's a reason you're open.

There's a few things here. We don't know how many games Bronny is going to be playing next to LeBron. That's first of all, we have no idea how many they're going to be picky, 10 games, 15 games. Like when they're actually on the court together. Yeah.

How many? Well, forget that. How many games is Bronny going to play as a Laker? Come on. Yeah, that sounds, I mean, I can see maybe a little bit more just if it's a 30 point blowout either way. Is he playing 20 games?

Come on. No, he'll play 20 games max, max, not even impact. And so this kind of fantasy land for LeBron a little bit. How many opportunities is LeBron going to have to just get the ball himself? You know, or pass him the ball.

Not a lot. He'll throw him an alley-oop and that'll be it for the year. Come on. But if they are on the court for any extended amount of time, Bronny's not saying nothing. LeBron is either going to pass you the ball or he's not. There's no situation where Bronny is standing in the corner.

You're going 23, Bron, dad, Pat. He's not saying nothing. He just, he has to kind of quote unquote, eat what he's given.

That's it. This is like being a kid. It's like, do you want dinner? Like, yeah, you want dinner. You, you don't have, you don't have the, uh, you don't have the status in the house to just demand what you want to eat.

You're going to eat what you're being served or you eat nothing. This is what, this is Bronny's lot in life. I hate to turn it so dark for Bronny, but not going to call him anything. If he wants to get his attention in the hut, like, and under what circumstances is he going to talk and say anything in the huddle, on the court, when at practice, what he's going to say, switch, that's going to be it. Do you know how many times I've played basketball with people?

I don't even know their names because there's a language in basketball. You don't need to say nothing. It's just directions. What are you doing? Cut, switch, rebound. I got it. I got it.

You got it. Pat, like Pat, like this, watch your back. There's nothing else to say.

I don't need to know nobody's name. You know what he'll be saying? Water or Gatorade. Oh my God. No, come on.

Oh man. You want to double with that one or just one glass will do. Does LeBron, does he have one of those special cups that are just for him or does he, is he drinking water Gatorade? You're right. It's probably some combination, you know, special water bottle he has with the, with the tape around it.

So nobody knows what it is. Or maybe it's a brand he likes, but they're not paying him. Isn't LeBron a Gatorade athlete?

Not what he is. He's Gatorade, right? I believe so. Yeah.

Still used to be. I would think every brand deal that LeBron James got when he came into the league, he still has it. Guy got a lifetime Nike deal. Made that. Well, that, that movie wasn't a lifetime deal. Thank God.

Yeah. Good for him and good for Bronnie and funny old LeBron. Can't call me dad.

He's not calling you anything. May not even be on the court. Anyway, somebody, she doesn't have this, this type of cache, but she is certainly cashing in on everything that she does. Angel Reese. Every week is something different. Last week she gets a Reese's deal. Yeah.

The chocolate company. And today, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to say any more. We got this courtesy of her social media. Listen to the gloriousness of it all. Hey guys, I'm super excited to be announced on my podcast.

Unapologetically angel. I'm looking forward to this so much. Y'all going to see your favorite celebrities, actress, artists, um, anybody. I'm going to see you from anybody that y'all want to see. We're going to be spilling the tea from our voice, our narrative, our perspective, but for the blogs, which I think y'all clocking to y'all not clocking no tea. Cause we can split the tea on our real lives.

Period. Make sure y'all follow on all my social media platforms. Unapologetically show on Instagram, Tik TOK, Twitter, all that. Make sure y'all follow to stay up to date every Thursday. We drop it.

We drop a T we drop a T every Thursday. So I'm looking forward to this. I'm super excited. Let me know what y'all want to see.

The questions y'all got from my perspective, from my voice. Unapologetically angel. Hickey not interested.

You interested? I'm interested to hear if she hates Caitlin Clark or not. Oh, come on. We're not going to get the Draymond. This is not going to be a Draymond green version of, of, uh, angel Reese's podcast.

Is it unapologetically angel? I sure sure that mean then nothing is off limits. So I should not, she would never say that, but like, that would be something I would eat. I would listen if she talked about that for sure. Damn, man, you a negative man.

No, not negative. I'm just curious. I want to hear, I'm sick and tired of like the fakeness. If you don't like her, that's fine. Just say it. Right.

It's like Michigan. You cheated. Just say it. Don't try to lie to my face.

Just admit it. It'll sheet is up there stealing signs, sending people to go steal the signs, bunch of cheaters. Um, so I admitted this earlier in the show when it came to, and I've said this plenty of times, the Kelsey brothers, they got a $100 million deal from Amazon and it's probably a whole production deal.

There's a lot that goes into, you know, what, how that 100 breaks down. But either way, they're still making bank. They got a new podcast. I haven't, I've never sat down and said, let me listen to the Kelsey brothers talk about anything. And if there's something worthwhile, there's a good chance I'm going to just find it online.

I'm going to see it. It's going to be newsworthy and it's going to grow. I don't, in all honesty, I don't know too many people with all the podcasts that are out. If I really sat down just in the sports category, I could probably name 30 to 50 athletes who have podcasts. And it's just like, is everybody saying worthwhile, quote unquote stuff answers? No. And so angel Reese, I'm happy for her.

Utilize the platform, maximize the money, get everything that you want. The WNBA needs it. But I'm also a little conflicted because like you're starting this at the end of the season, the Chicago sky, they got a record of 11 and 18. And for all her amazing work with the double doubles, every game, like she can't, she's, this is it.

This is not an exaggeration. She's the worst finisher in the WNBA can't make a jump shot. Can't make a layup. People are making jokes. They say, oh, our rebounds are coming from her misses.

That's not accurate. She would still be the best rebound in the game. If you took out her misses, which is crazy, but I would just, this is just me. I would want to do the brand deals and perfect my personal craft, as opposed to now sitting down on a weekly show at my own weekly show at the end of a season, I would just be trying to win. Like you, you're not going anywhere, launch the podcast and the off season, launch it next year. I just, I get it.

Make all the money you can and get the attention, but don't you want the attention from actually like winning? I don't know. Everybody just wants to talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. I'm pretty sure we'll, we'll hear stuff from angel Reese, but I'm not interested, man.

Marco, do you, do you want to hear angel Reese's podcast? No zero interest, nothing. And I can answer Hickey's question. She doesn't like Caitlin Clark. She's just not going to tell you. So no, I don't have it. There's nothing there. There's no substance. And what you kind of mentioned too, with people, they want to talk, they want attention, but it doesn't matter what the attention's for. And that's, to me, you're a rookie at the end of a season. That's not going your way. This is what you need right now. That to me, it's the mindset.

I don't like it from any of the athletes. Guys, put your head together, figure out what you got to do to perfect your craft. You want to do it later in your career.

Go ahead. I understand the aspect of making money. So maybe I'm being silly, but to me, if you can get better and become the best version of you on the court, on the field, whatever it is on the diamond, the money will be there.

If you can do that. Yeah, this is easy money, but here's the other part about it. Everybody we've gotten to the point where everyone can scream into the silo. Let's stick specifically to the podcast.

Everybody can just have a podcast and just shout their opinion and shout their opinion and shout their opinion. But on the other end of the spectrum, like we got, we got athletes now who, who don't want to answer questions, you know, when they're at work, which is a part of their job. I mean, we got a coach at Colorado and Deion Sanders and yeah, he didn't like what the guy said. And he's just like, I don't want to answer this guy's question anymore. I'm done.

Deion Sanders is sitting around doing shows and podcasts. So nobody, yeah, people, people are lacking cojones. Accountability.

That's a lot of it too. Accountability because they want to be able to talk. I'm sorry, Jared. They want to be able to talk about what they want to talk about at all times. But anytime there's a pushback, then you're a hater. You're, you're coming after me, whatever. No, there's, there's a responsibility that comes with some of this stuff.

I understand some of it may not be exactly what you want, but I'm pretty sure when you cash your check, you didn't ask the questions of what comes along with this other than what's on the court or the field or whatever. There's responsibility that comes with it. Yeah. That's, that's slowly being eroded and washed away. It's just what it is. You know, I don't think athletes look at it as, well, these people pay my salary and the media is supposed to be an intermediary. As we know, media has changed.

It continues to change. And unfortunately the attitudes of a lot of the athletes, you can't stand up and face fire anymore. And it doesn't have to all be negative. And yeah, the world has gotten real negative, but sometimes it's not that complicated. It's just because someone doesn't agree or questions or has a question for you. And yeah, there's some dumb ass questions out here. It's not all as you just said, oh, there's some haters here or just stand up and face the fire. It's it's not that tough.

Angel Reese. Good luck with the podcast. I ain't listening. I'm sure we'll talk about it here and there, but I'd rather just see her in the playoffs and see success. They are not her addressing the haters and getting the tea. This is someone who's talked about being bullied and cyber bullied and, and people are getting at her. Well, this is you're opening yourself up for it when you're feeding into it.

That was the premise of the entire promo. We're going to give you the tea and I'm going to tell you what I think before the blogs and stuff do it like for the life of me, whether it's her or Deion Sanders, why feed into the hate and the negativity? Why, why you're just feeding the beast, leave the trolls alone.

They starve to death and they go away. It's the JR sport reshow here on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break.

Speaking of everybody going for money, the NFL is going for money in a unique way. Of course, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport reshow 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. Everybody reaching for the money and why not? We talked about LeBron James and we know about his situation with Bronny. He made a nice little joke.

He can't call me dad at work. That's funny. Angel Reese is reaching for the money. Got us off a new podcast. I'd say I can't wait, but I'm not interested. The Kelsey brothers, they making themselves a lot of money. They got like a $100 million production deal to continue on with the new Heights podcast and good for them.

They're doing live shows and all types of stuff. Good for everybody. I'm I just want to watch the games. If you're going to give me some insight into the game, that's fine. And outside of me standing here on the radio every day and talking about it, I just show me the games. I'm also interested in business and money. So, you know, speaking of money, I found this.

Well, this was to be expected. You think about the valuations of sports teams to keep going up and up and up and up and up. Dallas Cowboys were 10 bill.

You got the commanders. They sold for what? More than six with Josh Harris. The NFL today, the owners voted to allow private equity. Yeah, guys on Wall Street to buy portions of NFL teams, which historically, as you may or may not know, look at Jerry Jones. They've been owned and operated like mom and pops. Not anymore. The NFL is going to allow private equity firms to buy into teams no more than a 10 percent.

That's it. You think about some other leagues, the NBA, you can have 20 percent. NHL is the same NFL. We know they're about money. They're just hopping on board. Listen to this news clip.

This is from earlier today on CNBC. And what the plan involves is that they're going to be four separate private equity groups that are going to be allowed to invest in the NFL. In total, they've committed 12 billion dollars of capital. The NFL is going to allow each of these groups to invest up to 10 percent of a team and invest into six different teams. So when you work it out, what it basically comes down to is maybe five hundred million dollars of investment per team. Basically, the NFL, they want more money to come in and they want to make more money because the money ain't going down.

Maybe they won't have to rely on taxpayer funds to build stadiums. And what do I know? Anyway, what's today? August 27th. It's time to go back in time.

I don't know. I guess it was a simpler time in sports because podcasts didn't exist. And maybe a few of these things. Let's take a look or listen to a few things that took place this day in sports history. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history. You see, back in those days we had radio and you couldn't see anything.

And it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show, I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. Yeah, it's August 27th. The year is 2024.

But if I go back in time, how about this? 1982. I don't think this man formally retired his name. It's Ricky Henderson. He stole his one hundred and nineteenth base of the season. He broke Lou Brock's single season record that this man established a few years prior in the 70s. Ricky Henderson, take a listen to this from ESPN classic. Ricky Henderson of the Oakland A's, recipient of this week's Gillette Special. Against Milwaukee on a pitch out, Rick the Quick made history. Stolen base number 119, breaking in 26 fewer games. The record of Lou Brock, who was mighty impressed. Tonight, Ricky Henderson, you have just called your name upon the game of baseball.

So congratulations to a job well done. Yeah, well, congratulations to him because the A's, they lost five to four. Ricky did steal four bases that night.

He finished the season with a still standing one hundred and thirty stolen bases. Could you imagine a guy stealing one hundred and thirty in this year? This generation?

Hell no. Congratulations, Ricky. Anyway, this day, August 27, 2018.

This is not good news. Simona Halep. She just won the French Open. She was the number one seed in all of tennis on the women's side. She lost in the first round. That doesn't happen.

Listen, courtesy of ESPN. For the first time in the open era, a number one seed goes out in the first round. Kaia Kanepi, six time major quarter finalist. She's beaten the number one player before, but nothing like this. And nobody wants to be a first loser.

Nobody wants that. And those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. You got to give me a break. Come on. It's the end of August.

How much sports is going on? Give me a break. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Donald is here from Wisconsin. Go ahead, Donald. Quickly. Hey, hey, there. Hey, how are you? What's up? Quickly.

Oh, well, I was just thinking the Packers finally get to play the first regular game in Brazil against the Eagles. And I was like, I wonder what the heck is the point that's going to be? Go ahead. Go ahead. What's the question? What's the question for me, Donald?

What do you think the point is going to be? Oh, Donald, that game is next Friday. OK, can we get through this week first? OK. All right. All right. Let's go back to the day. I remember talking about making six hundred fifty dollars a week and I'm like, can you imagine?

Yeah, well, now you got guys who are making that in a minute. Well, thank you, Donald. Call me next week, OK? All right. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Thank you, Donald, for calling from Wisconsin. Hickey, everybody's ready for the NFL season. That or he's trying to get betting advice. I mean, how about that?

A little bit of both. Yeah, why not? Everybody's ready for the season. Let's just let's just fast forward to Brazil. Why not? I guess I wonder how many Eagles fans and will they have more Eagles or Packers fans, more Packers fans will be in Brazil, right?

That'll be my guess. I think they're more popular global team. Yeah, they think and I think the fans will travel. Well, why not leave Green Bay to go to Brazil? Sounds like a good idea.

Maybe for the people in Philly as well. Anyway, I love all the places. I love you and I appreciate you for listening. We'll be back with you tomorrow at six p.m. Eastern, three Pacific. Got a lot to get into. Of course, it's going to be Wednesday.

I'll be sharing with you a top six list. Be counting down the days until we get a little bit closer to more NFL football. We're getting closer to more college football and Buffalo's are going to be playing Colorado.

Buffalo's be playing on Thursday. So it's that time of year. You don't have to wait too much longer.

This day in sports history is going to start to get filled up with upcoming games that we can address in future years. I guess I just take one day at a time. If you've missed a moment or a second of the show, all you got to do is hit rewind on the free Odyssey app.
