It is the JR Sportbrief 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 and locked in all over North America. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down for us in New York City. I'm only going to be here for one more hour.
It sucks, I know. The show gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m Eastern, 3 Pacific, and we've had a fun one. Thank you so much. So much to Amy Trask, former CEO of the Raiders, for joining us to talk some football.
Thank you a lot. To JP Hornstra from Dodgers Nation and Newsweek to talk about the greatness of Shohei Ohtani. Thank you oh so much to Jerry Palm of CBS Sports. Came on through to talk about some college football action over the weekend. My apologies in advance to the Florida Gators.
Anyway, we got so much more to get into. We talked about week three of the NFL season. We got into Joel Embiid. How the hell are the Sixers giving him a contract extension? Do they understand this guy's injury history? Are they that big a sucker? I guess they are.
And then we talked on, well maybe not a lot. Kaitlyn Clark is going to be in the playoffs. She's actually going to play her first game against Connecticut on Sunday afternoon. If you haven't noticed, there's football on Sunday. I guess the audience, Hickey, the audience that watches the WNBA is different than the NFL audience, right? Am I wrong here? Like the diehards, I would say you're right about that.
I think there's been a lot of casual fans this year that have watched more than ever, but no casual fans on Sunday. I would probably say no. No.
Nope. People will be watching the Dallas Cowboys and the Ravens, I think. I think highly of that. We'll get into that as well. And we have more to do this hour as well. Of course, I'm going to tell you about a few things that took place this day in sports history.
It has been September 20th, all day long. And so we'll go back in time. We'll do that, of course, at the end of the show. But I do want to take a moment to address one of our callers in the last break.
Thank you so much, Damon, for calling from Virginia. He was worried about Jalen Hurts and his demeanor during football games. On Monday night, we saw what happened between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons. The Eagles ended up losing at the end of the game. The final score was 22 to 21. There was no A.J.
Brown. It looked like the Eagles had the game in hand. If Saquon Barkley didn't drop the ball, things would be very different.
I think in both Atlanta and also in Philadelphia. And so as a result, the Eagles now stand at one and one. And Damon had brought up what a caller earlier in the week had said that Jalen Hurts doesn't seem. Engaged that Jalen Hurts just seems detached from the team. And I asked Joe Giglio of WIP in Philadelphia, also the Eagles pregame host, he was on the air with us on Tuesday.
And I asked him to respond to that question specifically from a caller. And he said he doesn't understand or feel that that is the case, that Jalen Hurts is just he's he's a quiet guy. He is who he is, but he does not lack the respect of the locker room that guys appreciate him, that you know, that he is who he is.
You know, Damon brought up the fact he's not dancing and this and that. Who cares? Everything stinks when you're losing. If Saquon Barkley had caught the ball on Monday night, nobody would be saying a thing about Jalen Hurts. And why? I mean, they went to the Super Bowl a season ago.
And yes, last year sucked and they collapsed at the end of the season. I get it. We get it.
We all understand. But what's Jalen Hurts got to do with it? He's the guy who played through injury all last year. When I see him on the field and he has a big play, the guy is screaming his neck off.
He's the guy who's being pushed and shoved through tush pushes and scrums. I mean, give him some credit. And Damon brought something up that maybe he's just built to be second place, replaced by Tua in a national championship game, a losing to Patrick Mahomes in a Super Bowl game.
Maybe he's just built to be number two. You know what I actually find admirable about how he's composed himself in every moment where he had an opportunity to cry and whine? His temperament has been easy. His temperament has been even is a better word. He ain't saying nothing crazy.
He's not wiling out. The guy was replaced in a national championship game. And you know what he did? He left. And he didn't complain. You know what happened after that Super Bowl?
He didn't sit there and whine and cry and pout. I've seen that before. I saw a guy named Cam Newton after losing the Super Bowl, basically just be one of the worst sore losers ever. And I get it. You're upset.
The biggest game of your life you just lost. But his temperament was just like, oh. Jalen Hurts sat there answered every question and the theme of it was I need to get better.
That was it. And so I appreciate that. I'd rather have a guy with an even temperament who's not going to get too high, not going to get too low than somebody who's just going to dance around and gritty. Well, I don't know why we've seen Tom Brady, you know, throwing stupid tablets all over the place. I mean, there's different ways, as long as the guy's winning and going out and busting ass. And I know they're not winning right now, but the season just started one and one. Like, let's slow down. Could the Eagles completely hit the craps this entire season?
Yeah, they could. You want to know who's going to get the bulk of it? Not not Jalen Hurts is going to be Nick Sirianni. People already lighten him up.
And I'm not a fan of the guy. We heard last year, Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts, they weren't vibing together. But Saquon Barkley drops a pass and everybody's already up Nick Sirianni's backside about it.
It's only been two weeks. And so they're going to take on New Orleans. The Eagles are. They're going down to the Super Superdome.
And they might get lit up. I'm going to pick them to win the game. I know they don't have AJ Brown. I think it'll be another good game.
But if the Eagles go one and two, it's going to be another disaster. But if anybody is going to get a finger pointed out of it should not be Jalen Hurts. The guy shows up and he plays whether he's hurt. He plays. He doesn't complain. He plays. He runs. He plays.
Threws a battering ram. Give him a break. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Hickey, what are your thoughts? Am I overreacting?
Is he overreacting? Like what? He needs to jump for joy all the time.
I'm with you. And I'm surprised that I guess the reaction or the surprise that people are looking at Jalen Hurts and thinking that he's a different person now compared to even two years ago. He started as a true freshman in Alabama.
He's kept the same temperament this entire time. And like you outlined, and we're talking about a guy that got benched in the biggest moment of his career at halftime of the national championship game. If he wasn't so, if he was more emotional, I don't know if he's coming back from that. Like that is really tough to rebound from when you get your job taken out from under you. Your replacement goes on to win the national title.
You're back next year as the backup after starting your true freshman year. A lot of guys would I think fold and have their careers willed to weigh after that. He did it and got better in part because of that easygoing, never going to get too high, never going to get too low mentality that's got him to where he is now. Even in 2022, he wasn't sure he was gritting a little bit. Was he dancing all over the opponent?
Is he putting social media videos up? No, that's not who he is. He was very soft-spoken in the media anyway. He didn't say anything outlandish two years ago. There's really no difference. And like you said, this is not even a topic or conversation. If not Jalen Hurts does his job, Saquon Barkley does his job.
And the pass is perfect. I'm with, I'm with you. The criticism, the questioning of Hurts is bizarre and wrong. I don't, I don't know. I guess everybody is so, we're so used to the eccentric athlete.
Like this is what it boils down to. And obviously the, the championship success is not there. One of the reasons that I really appreciated when Tim Duncan played, he just balled out. He did not care. He didn't say that was Tim Duncan, less of a competitor than Kevin Garnett. Kevin Garnett will tell you stories about how Tim Duncan was unmoved. He was not bothered.
He didn't care. Some people need to scream and yell. And some people need to let you know they're here. Some people need to get themselves hyped up to the umpteenth degree. And some people are just cold.
Some people are just surgical. And Tim Duncan, what did he ever say or do? It was a joke. The guy got ejected one day at the end of his career for laughing on the bench.
Come on. That was the most excitement you got out of Tim Duncan. He was laughing on the bench and he got the boot and he couldn't believe it. I don't give a damn what Jalen Hurts is doing as long as they win and he keeps them competitive. Like I appreciate that.
We got enough athletes who are running around doing podcasts and you know, screaming and cursing and dancing and just being complete idiots and jackasses. Jalen Hurts just shows up to work and he leaves. And he leaves. There's no fluff.
There's no extra. I appreciate that. When we start hearing about how his teammates don't like him or he's alienating himself from the locker room, then let's have a conversation. But as it stands right now, I admire how he's bounced back from the adversities that that were mentioned. It has nothing to do with being always the second place.
I know enough dudes who, if they were in his position, they'd be whining and crying and moaning. Oh, I got screwed. I didn't. Oh, Nick Saban should have benched me. Oh, no, I'm I'm just as good as my homes. Oh, no, I need to get a chance.
No, we don't do nothing. I need to get better. That's it.
I wish we had more athletes like him because there's too many damn athletes right now. It's all it's all talent. More show and less tell.
I don't know. Show and tell. Just do. Don't do anything. Just do. Just do it. Steal from Nike.
Just do it. Everybody talks to talk. How many people walk the walk? Angel Reese got a podcast and Draymond has a podcast. Kelsey Brothers have a podcast. I mean, damn it. Travis Kelsey, we talked about this two days ago. Travis Kelsey sitting down on the podcast with his brother like, yeah, yeah, I sucked. I need to do better.
Yeah, just just just go do it then. We don't need to hear you. I mean, the fans in Kansas City, do they want to hear about it on a podcast or they want to see it?
There comes a point in time, especially in the world where we live in, there is such thing as as overexposure. Like, we got bench guys. We got bench guys in the NBA doing podcast. Angel Reese couldn't even finish out her first regular season before she broke her wrist. She's sitting around doing podcasts.
Team is still eligible for the playoffs. She's done an amazing job building her brand and making money. She's on the front of cereal boxes and and has shoe deals and all of this. God bless her. Win something.
And that's not to say she never will. But for I don't know if I'm doing one thing, I want to be real good at it before I start just kind of scratching that. But that's me.
If you got the chance to make the money and take the money, go ahead and do it. I'm not mad at you. But for a professional athlete, you know, the criticism is there. That's the difference.
If you ain't winning and you're doing it all over the place, then you're going to get criticized. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. He's speaking to criticize. Remember the guy called last night? Was it Lee from Cincinnati? I don't know.
I mix everybody up. He said that it was unethical for the guy to take the ball from Shohei Ohtani. Yes, it was Lee. And so we heard that the guy who caught the ball, he left with it. He left. It's his ball. Good for him.
Security got him ushered him into a space. Reportedly, the Dodgers offered him three hundred thousand dollars. He said no. He smartly said no. Tough, right?
Well, that ball. Reportedly is worth at today. Half a million dollars. So he's probably going to sit on that rock until somebody and he's up.
I don't know. I'd push it to seven. I'd say give me 750. IRS is going to skim almost a quarter of that off anyway. True.
That's very true. So you're saying a quarter of a mil bare minimum or quarter of a quarter of a mil bare minimum here before you've been thinking about selling? And I would try to get some of it in perpetuity. I don't know if you could like final auction, like, I don't know, whatever the price. You have to pay me this now for what it's worth. But then I need a small percentage of what it gets sold for. I don't know if it gets sold three times in, you know, 10 years for X, then I need this amount of money on that sale. That's what I'd be saying.
You need to pay it to me. That's what I'd be saying. That's smart. I don't know if that's actually possible. I think it is.
Anything is possible. Right, Nick? And what Kevin Garnett said? He did. And Jason Tatum repeated. Yeah, he stole it from me.
He didn't know what to say. Oh, my God. I see Jason Tatum has a tattoo of himself kissing the Larry O'Brien trophy. Is that not too much? That is a that's a choice.
Also, that back tatty has is also another choice as well. To get a tattoo of yourself with a trophy? I mean, at least he won something to go back to your old argument. So, I mean, it's not him like, oh, this is a trophy and all that's missing is the date on it because I'm going to win.
At least he did win one. But but I'm thinking, but a portrait of yourself? A little much, no, like I get you and your kid, your kid. Hickey, if you got a face tat of your own face on your back, I'd have to look at Hickey.
What are you doing? That, yes. Alan Robinson has a tattoo of like an iconic catchy hat over a Michigan defender. And he was at Penn State.
OK, I think Jason Tatum is better. I think I'd rather I think it's more acceptable to have you kissing a trophy than to have a just an iconic play. It was a great win.
Don't get me wrong. But is it winning championship? No, they won eight and four that year. So what happens when Tatum wins another one? If he does, he has to get a tattoo of himself holding the other championship on the other side of his back. I guess he wins 10 trophies. He's going to have 10 tattoos.
Let's keep adding trophies to each one. Well, look, if Bill Russell had that, uh, thought idea, he'd be covered in tats, wouldn't he? He would. Full body. Yeah.
God bless his soul. Good problem to have, though. What, just running out of space? Yeah, because you're winning so many championships. Well, you know, a lot of Olympians, they go to the Olympics and I don't know if you win or lose. You'll notice a lot of Olympians have the rings tatted on their body. Oh, yeah. And that looks pretty cool.
And what happens if I get one? Am I a loser? Um, no, I wouldn't say a loser.
Maybe a poser. Hey, would you compete in? Ah, nothing. I'm just a big fan. Love the summer Olympics.
I can say the winter Olympics. That's true. Yeah.
You could love both. Well, there was that poser. What did, what did that guy, Ryan Lochte, what did he lie about?
I forgot in Brazil. I was out there too. He made all Americans look bad. Oh, yeah. I don't remember what it was. Was he at the gas station and said he got robbed or something like that? Oh, geez.
That's a lion ass Americans just traveling abroad, making everybody look bad. Oh man. I remember that story. Oh, Ryan.
And that's a real poser. He probably has Olympic rings, but then he, he's a, did he win gold? He has some, he has some, I thought he has some metals, right?
He's got some hardware. Yeah. He's like, uh, he's like one, one G to, uh, what's the, what's our super swim is named Michael Phelps. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, Michael Phelps probably looks at him and just, just doesn't even close. Doesn't even look at his direction. He's like, who are you? He's like Ryan Lochte. Who are you?
Get this and Nat out of here. Oh, I don't think he has any metals, bro. Really?
I'm looking, I don't know. Wait, wait. Okay. Now a 12 time Olympic medalist. Oh, wow.
Third most decorated. You know, you have to retraction here. You know, now I'm just being real. Yeah.
Somebody is going to get mad at me and that's fine. You know, Michael Phelps is so bad ass when nobody, when you're known as being a liar and not the third most decorated swimmer in history. Come on now. That is true. Not good.
He is the third most decorated swimmer in Olympic history, measured by total metals behind Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky. Come on, man. And he's known for LA yell. That's listen, people.
It pays to be a good person sometimes. Wow. Some real loser stuff right there. You know, Ryan Lochte. Yeah.
The, uh, the liar, six gold, three silvers, three bronze. Wow. Wow. Damn. What would have been great if you could have been like the early version of Jeff Darlington on the scene as like the cops are getting them. Oh no. There's JR just on the scene reporting. What, when they ended up getting, uh, what's the golfers name? Uh, Scotty Scheffler. Oh my God. No thanks.
Nikki. No, I wasn't. I was in Brazil when this happened. I was saying you could, you could have been there. Listen, I could have been almost the liaison. I don't want to be a part of no near crimes and nothing committed in Brazil.
No, thank you. Now you're going the other way. I enjoy my freedom. My freedoms that I do have here in America. I got enough problems here.
I don't need problems. Uh, international. I'd call you as my lawyer.
I'd be like, Hey, call your lawyer. Him. Hickey. Yeah. Sure. In trouble. You are screwed. Like there's my lawyer, uh, Ryan Hickey, him Esquire, Ryan, my cousin Vinnie, but worse here to save this Hickey, show up in a suit and a tie.
Please just tell him something. Anything. Just get me out of here. This is crazy. Hey, shout out to Ryan Lochte.
I don't know how he got into his lion ass, but we did. It's the JR sport re-show here on the infinity sports network. Uh, but I got something for you people.

I'm just waiting for all the football to start the waiting on all the football to start. I did tell you all that the WNBA and not that not that they care. The WNBA is going to start its playoffs this Sunday, kind of dead smack in the middle of all of the football action. Caitlin Clark is in the is going to play the Connecticut sun at 3pm Eastern time. Like that's in between the first game ending and the second game of the NFL starting.
And I guess and Hickey said we both agreed maybe not the same audience. And now that the season is over, Caitlin Clark, the numbers that she's been generating have been absolutely ridiculous. The WNBA just released some of the top six games ratings wise of the season to the shock of absolutely nobody.
Every single game, every single game features Caitlin Clark. The most viewed game, Caitlin Clark versus the Chicago sky and Angel Reese 2.3 million viewers. The other matchup, a rematch 2.2 million viewers. The storm versus the fever 2.2. The fever versus the sun 2.1. Hickey, I know we joked about what the hell the ION network is.
They had one and a half million viewers when Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese went at it again. Wow. On ION. I still don't know where to find ION.
I have no idea. Wow. Good for ION.
It's a big boost they're getting because otherwise I never even would have known they existed. Could you find it today, ION? I remember I looked at it here in the studio. It is, we don't have a lot of channels here. It is one of them so I could find it probably within five minutes.
That's a long time. What they broadcast outside of that, no way. They are playing Little House on the Prairie right now. I bet you they are.
How they got in the market of getting a game, let alone a level of magnitude of that game is beyond me. I think I saw a TCU. You saw that, right? They were making fun of, who were they playing? I don't even know who they are playing. No, they're playing a, I forget who it is, an ACC team. Yeah, TCU takes swipe at the ACC with a spoof. They're getting ready to take on SMU, which is not all that bad, but they're like your games are on, what are you on, a CW? CW.
Yeah, Saturday's meeting between TCU and SMU is a 103rd. The Horned Frogs aren't impressed that the game will be televised by the CW network, which has a rights package with the ACC rather than a network more traditionally associated with college football like ABC, ESPN, CBS or FOX. The CW. They literally tweeted out from their official football count, the caption was Frogs on the CW, unfortunately, and made a video about it. For those that don't know. You gotta, you gotta help people find the, you gotta, it's awareness, Hickey. That's true. I don't know what's on the CW either, I have no idea.
People are definitely aware now, but man. The CW, let's see, what's on CW right now? Wasn't like One Tree Hell on CW for a while. The WBCW, I guess. A broadcast schedule, let's see what we got here. Oh, right now, NASCAR.
Okay. I think that's something NASCAR. Do you know who is one of the CW? I don't know for this game, I'm not sure, but one of the CW 11 broadcasters. I don't know. Tom Brenneman.
What, for tomorrow? I'm not sure about tomorrow, but CW has like an ACC package. I think they have multiple broadcast teams. He is one of the CW college football broadcasters. Well, good for him getting a check. He's back.
I guess FOX wasn't, well, damn. Wow. I know they got Liv golf too. So that's a strong start, isn't it? That they do. And those ratings are. Want Liv?
Not exactly booming. I might as well stream it on YouTube. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Ralph is calling from North Carolina via Miami. You're on the JR sport. We show us up, Ralph. Happy Friday to you, JR. See you as well.
What's up? So quick question to you is like, just in case I know it's basically a typical question, but just in case if Tyler Thompson does play good for the remaining four games, it's like, do you think they should sit to a down for the remainder of the season or just bring him back here? No, man. They're going to bring that dude back in.
He's making $52 million. Come on, man. Like if Skylar Thompson is doing okay, they're going to tell him to sit down. Like the only way to two, it doesn't play as if they find his brain is an operable outside of that. You, you gotta play it. You gotta pay. You have to play him. He's getting paid. I understand.
So that's what, that was my typical question. Cause that's been basically in my mind all week long. So asking me if you, if you should continue playing him for the remainder of the year or give him a time to at least rest. So he could at least heal to be honest with you. Well, he's on injured reserve. He's going to be out for the next month. I don't expect to see him. I mean, Skylar Thompson has career numbers of one touchdown and three interceptions. Well, we'll see what we have on Sunday, but thank you for, thank you for taking my call JR. No doubt, Ralph.
Thank you for calling from North Carolina. No, whenever to a tongue of Aloha is ready to play, they're going to tell him to go out there. That's it. I mean, it took what less than a week for all of us to learn that to a tongue of Aloha was not going to retire that went out the window, right? Antonio Pierce. Oh, he needs to retire. He needs to retire. Oh no, he's not going anywhere. He's going to collect his coin.
He's going to collect his cash. And how about this? I did see a clip of Warren moon, the great Warren Warren moon hall of Famer. He spoke to TMZ and he said, listen, folks, I have had six noted concussions in my career. And if it says six noted, then there might be some more than that. Okay.
So they had six of these things. I talked to Warren moon. I feel like I talked to him once a year, right here with you on the infinity sports network. When I talk to the man, he's sharp as a tack. I don't know if he's forgetting his keys before, after that conversation. I don't know. But he says he's perfectly fine.
Now. I don't know what that means for two. I mean, where were Warren moon's concussions spread out over? I feel like two is concussion here. Concussion here.
One week of concussion, another week in concussion, no concussions last year, concussion now done. What happens if he gets another one this year? We're going to tell him to quit again. Like who's the manager of to his brain besides tour. The dolphins are screwed either way. They got to pay him. And if two can last through the deal, he's going to get his money.
It's really that simple. Eight five five two one two four. Oh, one's got eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
It's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Hickey, I caught myself. I caught myself.
Good job. No tripping up here on a Friday. Yeah, no tripping up on Friday.
I'll save my tripping up for when I get out of here. Hey, Marco, you good? What's up, Joe? I'm good. How you feeling today? Pretty good. It's Friday. OK, feel solid. Any any plans? Is watching football and stuff? Yeah, no plans.
No, I'm an old man with three kids. We don't do plans. This is when when can I figure out get myself on the couch and not do anything? That's that's the plan. That's the goal. Oh, you may have a plan to, I don't know, take them outside and breathe some air.
I don't know. Yeah, there's a lot of plans in the mind that you want to do that you may or may not get to. There's also goals.
And again, my goal is to be in front of the TV on the couch as much as humanly possible. But things don't always work out as planned. This conversation reminds me of a guy a couple of weeks ago. He says he has concepts of a plan. Mm hmm.
Mm hmm. Do you also have concepts of a plan? Yes.
It's called fatherhood. Yes. Yes. And everything you want to do doesn't work. But you have a concept of what you want to do.
And that's a concept of a plan. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Hickey, what do you agree? You agree here? Yeah, no, I do. Also something Marco kind of you could have a little bit of a stand up future here. Dad humor.
I think a lot of people like. Oh, yeah. And no one's cornered the market on that. No, we can.
Daddy daycare, too. Right. There it is. Boom. Did they do it on the line?
Did? Well, listen, if Adam Sandler could bring in Travis Kelsey in a movie, why can't we have Marco? You know what I mean? You know what I mean?
He's making Happy Gilmore, too, right? I don't know. Are they? Yes. Oh, my God. They make everything a two.
That's what it is. There has been no daddy daycare sequel. Yet.
Yet. Again, you want to make that and want to pay me? I'm in. I'm in. Well, we'll listen. That's a concept of a plan right there. We have had Adam Sandler here on the J.R. sport brief show. We had Peter magically call us this week. Let's put it into the atmosphere that you will receive a call from Adam Sandler, that you will receive an email saying that we need to cast Marco Balletti as the lead in Daddy Daycare, too.
Let's put it into the atmosphere. OK, I'm all in. I don't know how to act, but I'm a quick study. I'm willing to gain or lose weight, whatever you need to do. I'm good. All right.
I'm good. So whatever you got to do, Adam Sandler, who's going to do it? I'm going to whatever you got to do.
Adam Sandler, whoever's sure. I am 100 percent all in on this. You're going to get an email from Los Angeles tomorrow. Watch. And I'm already union. That helps. Yeah, OK. Oh, yeah, it does.
Tell everybody you give more of a resume. Go ahead. Come on.
Go ahead. Well, I did have about an eight second role, like an indie film, about like 30 years ago. OK. We can't find it.
It'll never be unearthed again. But I did do it. And I was there on set for, you know, a couple of months. I was going to ask, I mean, what what was this?
But I don't know if I want to know. It was in Jersey. It was in Jersey. It was based at a gas station. So they shot for a couple of months. I hung out a lot.
I was in it for about maybe 10 seconds. Were there shovels and garbage bags involved? No, man, that's kind of messed up. But no, I don't know.
I'm asking you said New Jersey and gas station. Next thing I thought of was like, oh, wow. No, no, no. This wasn't like a Sopranos prequel. No, no, no, no. This was actually a comedy, but nothing to do with any of it. I was just I hung out a lot and I was in it for 10 seconds. Sopranos is a comedy, if you ask me, but maybe as humor.
So was Goodfellas. But again, I think we have different, you know, sense of humor. OK. All right.
Sounds good. If you find it, send me a copy. No chance. I don't have it.
I don't know anybody that does. It's one of those movies. I would love to actually see it, though.
I mean, it's probably we're talking like 97. It's on VHS. No, never released. It's on VHS in somebody's garage. Yes, it is. Come on. Maybe the guy who directed it, maybe.
Yeah, he has it on VHS. Maybe something good is going to come your way, Marco. I'm in. You wait and see. We'll even stand there. I'm in. We'll get you get Hickey a role in it.
Hickey, what do you want to do in the film? What do you want to do? Babysit?
Sure. I like the cool babysitter, though. What does that mean? The cool babysitter. You just ignore the children?
Yeah, that can be it. Teachers from discipline. So Hickey's in the back watching Penn State while the kids eat glue? Is that what we're doing? Gotta grow up somehow.
No better way to learn than just by surviving. We got a lot of kids that have eaten glue. Some of them are listening to us. I don't know how great they turned out. OK. No, no. OK, fine.
I'm just saying. Don't worry about it. I'm just wondering how many of, you know, out of the three of us have eaten glue back in the day.
So, you know, that's what I mean. I don't know. Hickey, did you eat glue? Not that I can remember. I didn't eat glue. Marco, did you eat glue?
I actually wasn't. I figured Hickey was a glue eater. You just struck me as a glue eater. What? You did.
What does that even mean? I don't give glue eater energy. I don't know. Glue eater energy. I don't know.
I feel like as a little kid, you were in the back of the room eating the glue. Oh, no. Maybe that's how you ended up at Penn State. I don't know. That's possible. Gonna get angry emails from. Where did this turn all of a sudden? Hold on here.
It's crazy. I got it. I got a niece at Penn State right now today.
Yeah. Defend her honor. Forget about my honor. Defend her honor, JR.
Studying economics. I just said she eats glue. Here's Marco taking a pee all over it. I'm destroying my friend here. I'm destroying my cousin. I hold no bar. Listen, I just say whatever. Don't be offended.
Nobody. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here on the Infinity Sports Network. We're gonna come through and wrap things up. Tell you about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

It is the end of the week. And it's time to go back in time to a few things that took place this day in sports history. The JR Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. September 20th, 1924. Grover Alexander Cleveland won his 300th career game. Did you remember that? No, you don't.
September 20th, 1973. You might remember this. Maybe Billie Jean King, a woman, beat Bobby Riggs in a tennis match. The Battle of the Sexes. Remember this? Maybe from ABC. You'll watch Bobby.
He'll behave like a perfect gentleman. And so this is what it's come down to here in the Houston Astrid Nome. A long-awaited match, hustled and promoted ceaselessly and shrewdly by Bobby Riggs. Excitement engendered all over the country as Billie Jean hugs her husband Larry King and began to become a cause celebrity. Equality for women.
Equal rights. It was Billie Jean who fought for equal pay for women in the U.S. Open Tennis Tournament and got it. All of the women of America, or at least most of them, seem to be caught up with the anticipation of this match. Billie Jean went into virtual seclusion. There was talk before the match about her health. Whether or not she'd even be able to go ahead with the match as scheduled or have to be, the match would have to be postponed. It turned out instead that Billie Jean King was perfectly ready.
And not only ready, but willing and able. Hickey, didn't old ladies beat you in pickleball? Yes, multiple times, actually. So, there's nothing to be ashamed about.
That's right, nothing wrong with it. There we go. Hey, September 20th, 2003, Rashawn Woods. He set an NCAA record, seven touchdowns in one game.
Listen to this, Oklahoma State radio. Now Rashawn Woods splits to the near side, two tight ends out of the eye. Fields under center, gets a snap, floats a pass toward the near part of the end zone. Rashawn Woods leaps and he makes the catch. Touchdown, Cowboys. Fields gets a snap, drops back, floats a pass toward the near side of the end zone and the pass is caught by Rashawn Woods. Fields gets a snap, drops back to pass, has all kinds of time, throws it deep toward the end zone and the pass is caught by Rashawn Woods. Touchdown, Oklahoma State.
First and 10. Fields gets a snap, fakes a handoff, drops back, floats a pass toward the end zone, wide open. Rashawn Woods makes the catch.
Touchdown, Cowboys. That is the fourth touchdown reception for Rashawn Woods tonight and that sets an Oklahoma State record. Snap, drops back, fakes a handoff, throws it deep down the middle for the end zone and it's caught by Rashawn Woods. Making five touchdown catches for Rashawn Woods and this one covers 25 yards, touchdown.
Woods split to the near side, second and goal. Fields back to pass, throws to Rashawn Woods. He makes the catch and he's in the record book. Rashawn Woods with touchdown catch number six, matching the NCAA record for touchdown receptions in a game. Fields gets a snap, drops back, sets up, throws it to the end zone for Woods and he makes the catch. There's the record. Seven, count them, seven touchdown receptions for Rashawn Woods as he takes a stride into history. Oklahoma State, they play tomorrow.
Old people pay attention to them. Not a bad one against Utah. Anyway, September 20th. What year is this? 2009 Jerry's World opened up except for Lawrence Taun kicked the Giants to a 33 to 31 victory. Listen to this. To win the game.
And it's good. And so the New York Giants can celebrate on the home turf, the new home turf of the Dallas Cowboys in a wild game. Oh, Hickey, you were right. Al Michaels, he's not excited on Amazon. He's not excited on NBC.
When does he get excited? I mean, that's 15 years ago. Could we get some juice out, please? He's too old now.
No more juices gone. Yeah, that was 2009. September 20th, also 2009. Brett Favre broke the NFL record. 271 consecutive starts.
That's what happens when you wear copperware. September 20th, 2021. Salvador Perez. This man is still going, by the way. He broke Johnny Bench's record for home runs in a season. Got a catcher out here with 46 of them. Listen, courtesy of MLB. High fly ball, deep left center field. And Salvador Perez has the Royals third two run home run today.
That's what you do with a hanging curve. I mean, it's like he knew was coming. I'm thinking fastball and he's thinking, ah, he's going to go soft and make a mistake.
And I'm going to make a deposit for my 46th home run. Well, yeah, well, I'm only impressed by Otani home runs. Everybody else not impressive to me. Man, what a fun show it's been. What a fun week. Hey, thank you so much to all of our guests who came on by. Thank you, Jerry Palmer from CBS Sports to talk college football.
