Caitlin Clark Set For Postseason (Hour 4)

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to everybody tuned in all over North America. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope you're safe. I hope you're well.

I hope you're good. All my friends in Canada. All my friends here in Georgia with me. All my friends hanging out in New York with super producer and host Ryan Hickian and everybody everywhere. The show gets started every single weekday.

6 p.m Eastern, 3 Pacific. How can you listen? On the free Odyssey app, your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate, Sirius XM Channel 158. A smart speaker. Ask the speaker. Yeah, talk to the machine.

Ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network and we pop right on up. Today has been a day of history. Shohei Ohtani becomes the first player in baseball history to have a 50-50 season. Kaitlyn Clark, she finishes up what has been an amazing rookie season. She's going to the playoffs. And then, well, we got the New York Jets playing the Patriots.

How is that one of the least exciting things of the night, right? So far, New York Jets currently lead the Pats 7-0. The Patriots are trying to figure out what an offense is. New York Jets got Aaron Rodgers now.

They can score the football. I'll give you an update on it all momentarily. The phone number here is 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227.

I'm going to walk you through everything. And thank you to our amazing guests that have joined us as well. Kyle Goon joined us from the Baltimore banner to talk about the Ravens. They're getting ready to go take on the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas, or at least Arlington, I should say, this upcoming Sunday. Baltimore Ravens trying to avoid an 0-3 hole.

Also, thank you so much, Anwar Richardson. He came through and joined us from orangebloods.com. We found out some, I don't want to call it game-changing news. I think we all assumed it, but Arch Manning is going to start for Texas. After the man helped generate five touchdowns, including what, a 67-yard run. Yeah, you didn't know a Manning could run like that, did you? He's getting a full start against Louisiana Monroe. Against the opposing quarterback, General Booty.

That's his name. Steve Sarkisian, he spoke to the media today, and he said, Arch Manning, he's the starter. Arch is going to start at quarterback Saturday. You know, I feel like Quinn has made great strides ever since Saturday night into where he's gotten to. But my decision is, I'm looking forward to his future as a player, but also the future of the season for us and the longevity. And getting him possibly one more week healthier for the long term, I think is good for us as we're getting ready for SEC play.

So, Arch is more than capable, as I think we all know. He's got a lot of confidence from his teammates and trust from his teammates to go out and play. He had a really good week of work, understands the plan, but it's different. It's different when you're the starting quarterback as opposed to coming in cold off the bench as a backup. So, different challenge for him, but I know that he'll be more than ready to go out and operate and play football at a high level for us. Okay. Yeah, he will.

Playing them, of course he will. Louisiana Monroe. Huh. This is so funny. I want to hear it again. The defensive coordinator was like, oh, we're not afraid of Arch Manning. A lot of our students played against him in high school and beat him. Okay. Yeah, sure.

Listen to this. We actually have some kids on our team that played against him in New Orleans and, you know, a couple of guys, you know, a couple of guys done beat him already. So, they don't hold too much fear against him.

So, you know, they're not going to hold any fear against him. Okay. What up? All right. We'll see what that game looks like. Sure.

Sure. We got to wait until Saturday. Something we did not have to wait on today. And this is one of the best experiences that I've had on the radio.

I've been on the radio since 2018. This is one of the best things. Oh, they're toasting champagne. I didn't see this. They were toasting. They got champagne flutes in the Dodgers, the clubhouse. Did you see a video of Shohei drinking a champagne flute? He has one in his hand. Is he going to drink it?

Let's see. I see Dave Roberts toasting. He's speaking. Bruh, he looks even bigger when he takes off his... He took his... Yo, Shohei is a big dude, man. They didn't show him drinking it. They cut to a graphic. I wonder, you know, if he...

Poured it out? Yeah, I could see him not consuming alcohol. Nothing wrong with that, but... I could see it too. That guy is huge. He looks... Seeing him in the element of the clubhouse, he just untucked his jersey. And, you know, typically when he's standing at the plate, he has all that armor on. Shohei Ohtani is jacked. Have you seen this dude?

No. Hickey, you got... That guy is jacked. Well, anyway, he had three home runs today. He entered into today's game against the Marlins. He had 48 home runs. He had 49 stolen bases.

And so you do some simple math. He needed two more home runs to go ahead and reach 50. He needed one stolen base to reach 50. He got three of each, or three home runs and two stolen bases. He stole the two bases.

Okay, whoopty freaking do. He has 51 stolen bases. And then he started to lose his mind at the plate.

A matter of fact, he lost his mind at the plate the entire game. Shohei Ohtani finished today six for six with three home runs, two doubles, two stolen bases, and 10 RBIs. The Dodgers beat the Marlins 20 to 4, and he made history. Because he got that 50-50. And when did he start cranking those home runs to do it?

Well, let's take a listen. All of this is courtesy of the Dodgers Radio Network. This is home run number 49. It happened in the top of the sixth that made the score 9-3, Dodgers over Miami. Here's the 0-1 pitch coming to Shohei. Swings hits a drive! Deep right field! Number 49 for Ohtani! An upper deck shot! It's a two-run homer!

The Dodgers lead it 9-3! Shohei Ohtani is now tied for the all-time Dodgers single-season home run record with 49. And he is one away from the first ever 50-50 season. Oh, what a blast by Shohei Ohtani. He is a one-man show. Oh, he was one home run away?

Well, he didn't waste any time. Because the very next inning in the seventh, Shohei Ohtani says, I'm coming back for more. Here he is breaking the 50 mark by hitting the 50 mark. He swings, hits a drive to left! This ball's back!

There it is! Number 50! The first player in the history of Major League Baseball to have a 50-50 season! He is incredible! Shohei Ohtani with an opposite field home run!

50-50! What a day for Shohei! He is the new all-time single-season home runs leader for the Dodgers in the first ever Dodger with a 50 home run season! Shohei Ohtani is incredible. He is one of a kind. Who are you telling?

I know he's incredible. Hickey, why wasn't he done after that? That wasn't enough? I guess when you're in the zone and you're just locked in like that, you just keep running about Who is Dave Roberts to say, you know what, Shohei, I'm going to break this trance that you're in. We're going to take you out. Shohei Ohtani came back the top of the ninth. He said 50 home runs? Well, damn it, I got another one!

Listen to number 51! Here's the pitch. Swing and a drive! Deep right field!

He has done it! It's the first time Ohtani in his career has had a three home run game! Can you believe this? 10 runs batted in for Ohtani! That's also a career high! 51 home runs for Shohei Ohtani! This is the show that never ends! Can you believe this man?

No, I can't. The Dodgers beat the Marlins. The final score was 20 to four. You got your money's worth if you went to this game. And it was in Miami in the afternoon.

They started this game, I want to say, at 440 in the afternoon. People didn't get their money's worth. There wasn't a lot of people there, which is a shame. Hickey, could you imagine if that did take place in Los Angeles? Whoever caught that 50th ball, they could be in a world of pain right now.

Oh, man, getting their ass beat. Also, at the same time, that place, man, they would have had an earthquake. That's also true. They would have caused one in Los Angeles. 50,000 people jumping up and down raucously at the same time? Yeah, I think you're right about that. And these home runs that he hit tonight were not cheap.

They were not cheap. Like his first one, he launched into the upper deck. Like, bro, what are you doing? And then the next two, he hit the left. He's like, I got power to all fields.

What you want from me? This is one of the greatest games that a baseball player has ever had. I'm going to say it again, because it's so amazing. Six for six, three home runs, two doubles, 10 RBIs and two stolen bases. He basically had a perfect game. Like what he did, I feel, is even more rare than a perfect game. And I think in baseball history, I think since 1901, we've only had five players who have gone six for six with three home runs in a game. That would indicate that it is even rarer than a perfect game, which I believe, let's see, I think we've only had 23 of those in history. How many or maybe 24 now? How many perfect games in major league?

24. Yeah. What we saw today is special.

Crazy. I don't think I'll see a game like that ever again. Somebody will go six for six in a few more years, maybe be five or 10. Somebody will six for six and hit a grand slam and whoop-de-freaking-doo.

Not in no 50-50 game. Shohei Ohtani now has 51 home runs and 51 stolen bases. I'm going to laugh if he ends up with more home runs than Aaron Judge. Judge is currently sitting at 53 home runs.

Now, Hickey, you can only do what you can do. Of course, Aaron Judge knows what's going on and Shohei Ohtani knows what Judge is doing. And naturally, you would think that there's like, oh, I can't let him have more than me, right? Like, he's not thinking about that when he's on the field because he has to, you got to focus in on the plate. You got to look at the ball. You have to make these microsecond decisions.

But, you know, when in a little all time, they have to think about this, right? I don't know. Like, if you're Aaron Judge, I guess, you hit 63 home runs two years ago. And does it, do you have to lead the league in homers this year or are you more worried about the playoffs?

Both. I mean, that's, there's there's personal and then there's team. You have, if you're Aaron Judge, you're like, of course, people are going to say, hey, I go to the postseason and I suck. But for today, if I'm Aaron Judge, I just want to crank out as many home runs as possible. We have just clinched the postseason appearance. I want to lead Major League Baseball in home runs.

I'm going to be pissed if Shohei Ohtani hits one more than me. All right. I think I think that's natural. No. Yes, like, yes. But I think because he's done it like he's led the league before, I think if you almost get a little like jaded of just like I've done it before, like this is the first time I could see like, oh, well, he's not having more than me. Like, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to make sure I'm number one.

He's led the league, what, at least once, maybe twice? No, every year. When you got a rival and you have an equal, you want to best them.

It don't matter what year it is or what you want. You want that. Are they a rival, though? Yes.

Not in the, not in the sense of Red Sox, Yankees or Chicago Bears, Packers. But there has to be some sort of, some sort of but there has to be some, some personal, oh, he's the best. No, I'm the best. No, let me show them. I think that's natural when you're an athlete.

Rival may not be the best word, but from a competitive standpoint, I don't care what happened last year. Like it's me. I'm the best guy in baseball. No, I'm the best. Like that.

I think that's, that's natural. Aaron Judge and Ohtani, they might be, they might have like choir boy personas, like Shohei Ohtani doesn't even speak English or not publicly. And Aaron Judge is a robot. He's very quiet and guarded. You don't get anything from Aaron Judge.

So these guys, they don't even really showcase too much of a personality. Could you imagine if Aaron Judge had the personality of say, let's Anthony Edwards, could you imagine that? That would be fun. That would be very, that would be great for baseball. He'd be the most popular athlete in America right now.

Could you imagine, like really, could you, like you be Shaq. Man, Barry Bonds, he wasn't that good. Those pitchers back then stunk. They only threw 93.

They threw puss back then. That would be fun. Could you imagine? Aaron Judge is already, I feel like he has done the late night shows and what have not that they have importance as much as they used to.

He'd be everywhere. Hickey, when's the last time you saw Aaron Judge in like a sit down introspective interview? Couldn't remember. And even if it was recently, I could not tell you one thing that he said. The one interview I ever remember him is when he first started with the Yankees and he went into Bryant Park. I think this was on Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon. And he was asking people, he was, he was in, he was in New York City down the block from Times Square. And he's asking people, you know, do you like Aaron Judge?

And they didn't, didn't realize it was him. Like that's the last and only interview I ever remember him doing. That wasn't even an interview. It was like a skit. Wow. So one of the first he's, one of the first media things he's done, it's not gotten any better since.

I don't remember anything else. And maybe he likes it that way. I mean, with his contract, his money, to not have to talk to anybody, just show up, hit home runs and leave. He's living the Derek Jeter life without the Derek Jeter stuff. You know, you get what I'm saying, Hickey? Yes.

I do know what you're saying. Cause he's married and good for him. No gift baskets. No gift baskets with the balls.

No Dayton Mariah Carey and Tyra Banks. What a life Derek Jeter lived in the 90s. What a guy.

And he still showed up to work. It was good. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Not bad at all. It's the JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we'll give you an update on the New York jets score.

We'll also take a look at Kaitlin Clark. She had the final game of the regular season. I'll tell you what happened as she gets ready for the playoffs or is she going to the playoffs?

I'll let you know on the other side of the break. It's the JR sport brief show on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network.

What a day, what a day, what a day? Oh, Tony goes 50 50 first dude in major league baseball history to do it. 51 home runs, 51 stolen bases, six for six, three home runs, 10 RBIs, two stolen classic game, all time great game. The season for the dodgers continues on. Shohei Ohtani is actually going to go to the post season for the first time in his career. And speaking of the first time, somebody else is going to the post season.

Her name, Kaitlin Clark. The season is now over for the Indiana fever. The WNBA season is done. It's curtains.

It's a wrap. Kaitlin Clark finishes up tonight. Not the greatest game. Washington beats Indiana. Kaitlin Clark didn't play a lot. They didn't give a damn.

Only played 20 minutes. She had eight points, five rebounds and eight assists. Nobody cared, but this is what it boils down to with Kaitlin Clark. She wrapped up what was an amazing rookie season. She wrapped up something where she was just criticized early on about what she was or what she wasn't going to be. And she's jacking up shots and she can't do this. She had a great season period. She had an MVP caliber season.

Ain't going to give it to her. She's going to be rookie of the year without a shadow of a doubt. Kaitlin Clark finishes the season as a rookie, averaging 20 points, six rebounds, eight assists leading the WNBA. A steal and here's something negative if you want it, the six turnovers.

Here's the deal. In the month of September heading into tonight, Kaitlin Clark averaged 25 points, nine assists, six rebounds and a steal in about 38 minutes a game. And you would expect her to be better next season. But this year technically isn't done because she's going to the postseason. Kaitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are going to start the first round against the Connecticut Sun. The Atlanta Dream get the last spot in the playoffs. They're going to take on the New York Liberty who's seeded number one. The Minnesota links will take on the Phoenix Mercury. The Aces will take on the Storm and they are your eight teams in the WNBA playoffs. The playoffs for the WNBA, it begins on Sunday. And if there is a matchup that I would want to see, not that I think we'll see it, not that I know that the brackets line up that way. Picky, it'd be cool if the Indiana Fever end up advancing in the first round and if they take on Phoenix and Diana Taurasi. I would, I would watch every game of that, every game, every game. And I would, I would want to see Kaitlin Clark wax out. You know how, you know how you get the guy with, you know how the kids come on, not the kids, but you see the younger people, what they mop up the sweat.

Yes. I would want, it's like curling, right? Not curling.

Yeah, curling. I would want to see her get Diana Taurasi's ass off the court like that. Just wax her ass off that basketball court. Tell me that would not be like the, like you talk, everybody talks so much crap against her. Oh, she needs to earn it. She's not going to do it. Man, she busting ass, man.

She busting ass. I was going to ask you, let's just say what you just outlined comes true. Waxes the sun or the mercury, excuse me, knock them out, ends Taurasi season. If you're Diana Taurasi, do you retire then? You say, screw it, come back for another year. I can't go out like this. Nah, you gotta, you just gotta leave.

And then she comes back at like 44 or whatever she is, 45 years old. Oh, you gotta leave. Oh my God. And how about this? I read the bracket correctly. If the Indiana Fever beat Connecticut. And so, okay.

Okay. So Minnesota, the links, we got a long way to go here. The Minnesota links are ranked number two, the mercury is seven.

And so both of the teams would have to advance for us to get that match up. And the Connecticut sun, the last time I looked, I think they have the young lady, De'Janae Carrington, is that? Yes, you are correct. She's the one who, she be getting an agrilla, Kaitlin Clark. And she gets on social media too, right? That's right. And she's a very good player as well. Backs it up. Yeah. So that's going to be a matchup in and of itself. Look, I'm just here and I understand, you know, professional jealousy and everybody's upset, but the way that they have just beat up on her. It's like y'all are flying private and y'all are getting more money and yes, Angel Reese contributed as well. But that's the one, her.

Kaitlin Clark is the one. And it's hickey, this is this like, and it's early. It's early. But there can be a Michael Jordan parallels here.

You know what I'm saying? This guy is not that good. He's only an athlete. He can't shoot. Oh, he just scores a lot. He's not good. He's not a winner. And then it started to, Oh my God, this guy's just waxing all of us.

Like we beat the living the hell out of him for a bunch of years. And then he just said, ah, it's my time now. I would love to see that with her. And I think eventually we'll get there. You know, she's probably going to get disappointed.

I don't expect no championship this year. It's going to be her time sooner than later. A matter of fact, she spoke to the media earlier today prior to, I don't want to say losing, but yeah, she lost. They didn't give a damn about the game. She played 20 minutes.

Kaitlin Clark from yesterday. She says, you know what? We are ready for the damn playoffs. I think for us, like, you know, no matter who it is, we believe we can go on the road and win a game and who knows maybe two, but at least one to try to get back here and have our fans behind us to try to win the third game. So I think we're excited. We're continuing to work hard, trying to refine some things like today we came in here and we were pretty competitive for about an hour. So I feel like we still have some areas to improve and just continue to refine to our habits are going into the playoffs. And I think we're all excited to get there at the same time.

Yeah. You hear them practicing. They're ready.

They're getting ready for Sunday. Good luck against Connecticut. I'm rooting for Kaitlin Clark all the way through until she maybe takes on the New York Liberty.

I'm rooting for the Liberty. I've been rooting for them since they started to exist. And they lost to everybody. It seemed like in the finals every year.

I mean, damn it. They went to the WNBA finals last year, a sold out Barclays Center. I went to the game. I went to this game one. I went and they lost. They lost a series. Hickey, the Liberty finally going to win. I would like to see them win.

Yeah. Local team. I mean, New York needs a championship badly. So oh boy, New York needs a chip.

It's not going to be the fever, which would be cool. And Kaitlin Clark's first year. Aces have won back to back.

They've won enough. Yeah, let's go. Let's go, Sabrina.

Go Liberty. Get him one. Tell me about it. I told you if Shohei Ohtani didn't go 50-50, I was going to write him a letter. We don't need that no more.

He exceeded that in one night. If the New York Liberty, if they don't win a title this year, I'm going to have to write them a letter. I'm going to write a letter to that elephant. You've seen that elephant mascot they got? Oh, yeah. Ellie. Ellie the elephant.

Yeah. One of my friends went to go meet her. I met her.

She gave me a kiss. I was shocked. You were shocked.

I didn't realize she did. All I saw was an elephant. I didn't realize it was a female elephant with a purse. Oh, yeah.

And so when she gave me a kiss, I was just like, oh, I got kissed by an elephant with a crown. Well, OK, all right, whatever. That's that's my life. What a life I live anyway. Speaking of animals, Marco, Marco Belletti, is Marco Belletti here with us?

Yo. How the hell did we get? We I told Hickey.

Hickey was not here last night. I told him earlier in the show, I said, Hickey, how the hell did me and Marco get an email from Peter? I got to tell you, when I saw that text, J.R., from you, because I didn't see the email yet. I thought you were joking around. You thought I wrote that? I don't know. I thought, yeah, what are you found something and you kind of changed the wording around?

I didn't think it was real. How the hell is Peter following? You know, I know you got a big following there, J.R., but I didn't realize Peter was, you know, sitting on pins and needles of every word that was coming out of our mouth.

I mentioned them, too. I said, Peter, if you're listening. You almost had me going to, I don't know, Peter jail for joking around with the owl. What did you say? See, I did not go back and listen to the segment yet.

I am. Did you say something about harming an owl? Is that what you said?

In Jest, if you remember the movie My Cousin Vinny. Oh, yes, you did. I said there were the owl that kept me up all night. I said I wanted to be like Joe Pesci and my cousin Vinny and come flying out of the cabin with the handgun and find the owl. Oh, obviously, I did not. I am. I am joking. Peter took some mercy on me and they realized that it was a joke. Yeah, you know, what was that message at? Oh, my God. I got so many messages. Here it is.

Let's read. Hi, J.R. and Marco. We heard our name, Peter, come up on yesterday's conversation about your encounters with wildlife and thought we'd reach out and say hello. At this point, I'm like, oh, it's not going to be good.

Marco first name like, oh, she's good. Not me. We're so glad to hear you were only joking about harming the owl and J.R. You're right that raccoons are super smart and devoted to their families. And like all animals, they're just trying to eke out an existence on an increasingly paved over planet. We appreciate you pointing out that we are indeed guests in their world, but we can coexist peacefully.

And it sounds like you're trying to do just that. So thank you. If we can ever serve as a resource for you on an animal issue, don't hesitate to ever get in touch.

We love to hear from you both at any time. There you go, Peter. I might need them. Like I said, I'm new to this wildlife, suburban life, so I'm coming across all kinds of things that I don't know what they are and what they do and what I'm supposed to do about it. Listen, by the way, Peter, if you're listening, I am I am going to respond.

I will reach out to you. I love the animals. I love them.

Even the bandits. Yes, I just leave them alone. Yeah, the raccoons leave them alone. I leave them alone.

They leave me alone. We good. You know, for all these sports teams that we have, we have everything right. We got horn frogs and toads and bison, buffalo bill. We have all of these animals. Do we have a team named the raccoons?

None. Is it like a minor league baseball team named the raccoons? I don't know.

I mean, there's the iron pigs. I'm familiar with them. So I don't know if there is a raccoons, but does that really strike fear in your opponent that you're, you know, like garbage dumping, diving? I don't know. What the heck am I looking at? Rocket raccoon, trash pandas unveil logos. What is this? Rocket raccoon. That's Star Lord, Guardians of the Galaxy.

North Alabama Southern League. One step closer to blast off rocket raccoon. That is. Oh, my God. It is literally this one.

Twenty eighteen. This team might not even exist anymore. The artwork is a raccoon a raccoon blasting out of a trash can. Yeah, because I told you raccoons is what they do.

They go into the trash. No, I know that. But that's what I'm saying. Like, I don't know.

Does that really instill fear in your opponent? Now, is this a raccoon or a panda? They're called the trash panda. I guess because pandas and raccoons are similar with the black and white. I don't know.

They are. The trash pandas won't make their own field debut until twenty twenty. Following the Mobile Bay Bears relocation to a new ballpark, the team that did something about Los Angeles Angels. A trash panda is a slang term for a raccoon recently popularized in Guardians of the Galaxy two. OK, in that film, a raccoon character named Rocket is referred to as a trash panda.

There we go. OK, so I don't know if that. All right.

So it's Kim's from the movie. It's not exactly I mean, that's where you start your email there with PETA to find out if it's actually a raccoon is a trash panda. I feel like that's that's going to be a negative on that one. Yeah, OK. All right. I don't think they want you to disparage the raccoons or the bandits or the trash pandas calling them trash pandas. No, no, no.

Probably not. Shout outs to Peter. I'm going to email you tomorrow. I'm going to send you a nice email back.

Thank you so much to Peter. I love animals. Anything that I could do to help out the animals. I will propose that to our PETA listeners right now. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.

We're going to take a break when we come back. Unfortunately, there's a Detroit Lions coach. He had things worse than bandits. He had fans showing up to his house.

He had to move. I'm talking about Dan Campbell. I'll fill you in on the other side of the break. We'll give you a few things that took place this day in sports history. You're listening to the J.R. Sportbree.

The J.R. Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I need to let you know about the Dependable Player of the Week. The Dependable Player of the Week is sponsored by Depend and the Prostate Cancer Foundation, reminding you that health is a long game and screening for prostate cancer is easier than ever.

Learn more at depend.com. Jets rookie running back Braylon Allen. He scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter in New York's 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. The rookie from Wisconsin not only scored two TVs, he became the youngest player in modern NFL history to score.

He is only 20 years old. Tonight right now, you just heard it from Carlos Ortiz. The New York Jets, they lead the Patriots. The score right there, the New York Jets 14, the New England Patriots. Well, they got three points and this is what it should be.

But what unfortunately is one of the story of the game right now, or what is the story of the game? On the second touchdown, Aaron Rodgers walked back to the sideline. Robert Salah, I gave him a slap high five, went in to give him a hug and Aaron Rodgers put his hand up and kind of shoved them away. Whoa, we don't know what he said. We got some mouth readers who will let us know. It sucks that the Jets will probably win this game. And they're going to ask Rob Salah about this. And if the Jets blow this game, they're going to ask Rob Salah about this. The New York Jets have 252 yards in the first half.

The Patriots have 40. Wow. That stinks.

It stinks. Can't wait to hear somebody ask Rob, hey Rob, what was that about the push? Why did Aaron Rodgers shove you away?

Oh, we were just joking around. One will say it's a joke and then Aaron Rodgers will say something slick. It's crazy that God becomes a bigger jerk every two weeks. It's like just when you think Aaron Rodgers could have become more jerkier, the star quarterback is shoving his head coach. Could you see Patrick Mahomes shoving Andy Reid away? I could see Tom Brady throwing a tablet. Could you see Tom Brady putting his hand, just shoving his coach away? The power dynamic with the Jets, it's always been obvious, but this is just poor body language. To even do that, to leave anything up for interpretation, Aaron Rodgers is self-centered as all hell. He can't help himself. He needs a reality check.

Anyway, speaking of reality checks, reality sucks. He's been dealing with human beings here. This story today was unfortunate.

It's unfortunate that it was a major mainstream news story. It involves the head coach of the Lions, Dan Campbell, who's become a celebrity because he's a winner. He helped the Lions win.

He has a huge personality. He had to talk to the media today and fill them in that he had to move. And why does he have to move from his beautiful multi-million dollar home in suburban Detroit? Well, take a listen to Fox 2 Detroit, break it down. Contractors to his house to make repairs that were not needed as a prank. Again, after a loss against the 49ers last season, the harassment ramped up. The family filing police reports with Bloomfield Township PD.

Campbell saying this week the security concerns necessitated them to move. Man, that sucks. Hickey, there should be whatever the prosecution is for these people. You got to really get them, bro. Like you really got to get them. Like you should go like you should be away for a year, maybe more for them. Maybe it's harsh. That's like, what are you doing? You got nothing better to do.

That's that's. Could you imagine if somebody did that, why would you? Where's the golden rule? Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. Could you imagine you do that to somebody? Would you like somebody coming over to your house like and just scaring the hell out of you and your family? It's hateful.

That's some of the earth stuff right there. Like we're all passionate. We all want to start, you know, see our teams win. And sometimes we react maybe worse than we should. It's a game. But what do we do? Like there is absolutely a line that should not be crossed, you know, yelling certain stuff at players, obviously anything physical. And this is why that's just scary when you feel like, you know, people are watching, you know, where you live, you know, you know, if your family's at risk, that's insane.

What are we doing? There are people being jackasses and they were, you know what? I have some worse words for them. And you can use your imagination if you're hearing me, if you're listening to me, I got worse words.

I mean, the man had to move. What you should do is, hey, you should be in an octagon with Dan Campbell. I'm sure he would whoop your ass, OK? And then you should go to jail for a long time. Forget jail. Jail is too short.

You should go to prison. That is awful. I feel bad. I mean, anyway, it's the end of the show.

You know what that means? It's September 19th. We saw history today with Shohei Ohtani. We've got to go back in time. The J.R. Sport Brief Show.

I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. September 19th, the year's 2000. Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 400th career home run. He was the first dude that ever hit it as a pinch hitter.

He was also the youngest to hit 400 doing it at 30 years old. Unfortunately, the Reds lost to the Giants seven to three. But here's the home run courtesy of the Reds.

Trouble starts in the fifth or sixth inning. Ken Griffey Jr. has just hit his 400th career home run. So Junior does it on his dad's birthday.

That's some kind of birthday present. So the youngest to 400 all time, 30 years, 141 days. September 19th, 2001. Only a year later, Roger Clemens became the first pitcher ever to start a season at 20 and one.

He was 39 years old. The Yankees beat the White Sox six to three. Listen to this courtesy of MLB. Clemens pitched well in his first two seasons in the Bronx, but it seemed those were just a warm up for one of the most dominant seasons of his career. Starts the game with a strikeout only sitting on the outside court. Roger Clemens goes 20 and one, the first pitcher in the history of baseball to begin 20 and one. Clemens finished the season with a 20 and three record and a 3.51 ERA, earning his sixth Cy Young Award at the age of 38, the most by any pitcher in history. That's still a crazy season.

I wonder if he was shooting it up. Hey, September 19th, 2004, Jerry Rice, 274 straight games with a catch. That streak, it ended. And speaking of ended, this show is done. Hey, thank you so much to Anwar Richardson.

Yes, Anwar came through from orangebloods.com to talk about Texas. Thank you to Kyle Goon for joining us to talk about the Ravens. And thank you to Shohei Otani for giving us one of the greatest baseball performances that I've ever seen in my life. Tonight, the guy goes 50-50. And thank you so much.

He's now 51 and 51. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey. Ryan, thank you so much. Appreciate you.

JR, a pleasure as always. Be back tomorrow, right? Oh, of course. Is Peter going to throw stuff on me when I leave here?

No, the only thing they'll throw you? Praise. Oh, thank you, Peter. And thank you, Hickey. And thank you, listeners.

If you missed a minute of the show, hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. We'll be back tomorrow, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Y'all be safe, be well, be smooth, be cool.

You can find me on the internet everywhere at JR Sportbrief. Don't pull over. Don't do that. Just drive. Get to the phone later, OK? JR Sportbrief Show done. Don't move. Bart Winkler coming up next. You're listening to the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you, Hickey.
