It is! The JR Sport Brief Show here 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. I'm being joined by super producer and host Ryan Hickey in New York City. Thank you for being here. We'll be here for one more hour. This show gets started every single weekday. Doesn't matter where you're at, what you're doing, you can always listen.
Starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Where the hell have you been? We talked about a lot. Thank you oh so much to Andrew Brandt, former contract negotiator and vice president for the Green Bay Packers. He came through and talked to us about money.
We got a player at UNLV. Matt Saluca said, hey, they didn't pay me my money so I quit. He quit today, last night. Yeah, we got college athletes quitting in the middle of the season because they're not getting their money. The Oakland Athletics, tomorrow, they're done. They're quitting Oakland.
The White Sox, they quit a long time ago. And damn it, I mean, this might be the end of Kaitlin Clark's season tonight. We'll talk about that momentarily. If you want to participate in the show, you can. The phone number is 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. You can find me online. I am everywhere at JR Sport Brief. Yeah, listen on the Odyssey app, your local affiliate, Sirius XM Channel 158.
If you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. Hanging out here in Atlanta, Georgia, trying to avoid the rain. Hurricane Helene is coming through.
Dropping water. Shout out to everybody in Florida. I hope wherever you are, whatever you're doing, no matter if you're in Florida, the South, Georgia, be safe. Just do yourself a favor. Just try your best to be safe.
855-212-4227. Of course, it's Wednesday. I just gave you a top six list as well. Took a look at some of the biggest crooks in sports.
We had a lot of people not happy with their pay, who's paying them, who's not paying them. And I gave you a top six. The phone lines are open 855-212-4227.
I'm going to get to the phone lines momentarily. I told you that tonight could very well be Kaitlyn Clark's last game of her rookie season. Right now, the Connecticut Sun, who have a one to nothing series lead, first team to two victories wins. Which means if the Fever loses, Kaitlyn Clark and them are done.
The Sun lead 57 to 52. There's a minute left in the third quarter. Kaitlyn Clark played like crap the other day after she got poked in the eye. Only scored 11 points on 4 of 17 shooting. Tonight a little different. Kaitlyn Clark with a bounce back. 20 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 of 9 from 3. So 3 pointers are not going down. But she certainly has time to turn things around.
Because if she don't win tonight, if they don't win tonight, Kaitlyn Clark's season, well, it's done. 855-212-4227. I told you about my top six list. Taking a look at some of these crooks in sports. If you missed the list, the explanations, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. And number six, I gave you Brett Favre, allegedly. And number five, I gave you Ipe Mizuhara. Shohei Ohtani's former, well, he was a thief, but he was the interpreter by day or maybe by night. Gave you Kawhi Leonard at number four. A guy can't even play in training camp. He has to rehab.
And number three, I gave you Deshaun Watts and the Browns deserve him. And number two, Anthony Rendon of the Angels. Anthony Rendon is just like, hey guys, baseball's not a priority. And you want to talk about the biggest crook in sports right now. His name is Ben Simmons. This man left Australia to play at LSU, to quit at LSU, to quit on the Philadelphia 76ers. And now he's going to play hard for the Nets before he quits on them so he can get himself a contract.
And someone who understands and doesn't appreciate this is one of the greatest players of all time. His name is Shaquille O'Neal. Shaquille O'Neal also says, I don't care about his back surgeries or injuries. Now Shaq, take it easy there. This is what he said on his big old Shaq podcast. Ben is sensitive.
He came in with a lot of hype, played, nobody, but when he got exposed, we saw like when he didn't want to shoot in Atlanta and he kept passing the ball and everybody's jumping on him, he got exposed. Now the back thing, I let that go the first year. I'm not letting that go three years in a row.
This is 2024. You got shots, you got pills, you got treatment. I don't want to hear that. And I could tell when he came back and played, he's afraid of what people are going to say about him. He's still in Shaq mode. Again, he didn't play last year.
And again, what do you do? You say my back hurt. Everybody knows in this world, the back injury is a thing that you can't really check. But your back ain't been hurting that long because while you're not playing, you're supposed to be doing rehab. This is 2024. Ah, okay. He had two back surgeries.
Give him the benefit of the doubt. Come on now. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. A big shout out to one of our callers last hour. I think it was Hickey Brent. Is it Brent from Illinois? Brent in Illinois.
Yes, sir. Brent from Illinois. Brent said the guy from the Jacksonville Jaguars who was stealing from the financial department. Yeah, that guy's a crook too. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227.
Yeah, we got a lot of quarterbacks stealing money too, not just Deshaun Watson. Hey, Brian is calling from Arkansas. You're on the JR Sportbree show. What's up, Brian? Hey, JR, man. Good hearing you.
Hello. Listen to your show. I want to tell you the best con man crook in sports.
You got it wrong. It's Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones has sold people on the fact that we're going to get back to the promised land for the past 29 years. In fact, he sold us so much this year, he tried to tell us that a school broken down running back and no running game and not changing the defensive line at all was going to help us. Get past Green Bay beating us.
Well, two games, three games this season and two teams that can run have showed us differently. Yes, dad got paid. Yes, he got paid.
But man, we should have paid some other people to him. We looking horrible, but Jerry Jones again says, Hey, it's my bad. Okay. All right. Well, thank you, Brian, for calling from Arkansas.
I appreciate that. Now, is Jerry Jones a crook or is he senile? Is Jerry Jones a crook or is Jerry Jones naive? We talked about this last night. We actually shared the clip with you and I still am scratching my head that he said it. Jerry Jones said we are in the same pack, the Dallas Cowboys as the Kansas City Chiefs.
He says we have been in the same package. No, you're not. You're behind them. You're behind them and you're getting lost on the way to the end of the race. You're behind. You don't know where the hell you're going. And you're the one who's leading them astray. And I always say this kudos to Jerry Jones for all of his accomplishments and and the valuation of the Dallas Cowboys most valuable sports franchise on planet Earth.
But when it comes to actual management and managing of the team, allowing them to win something like compete for a championship. No, sir. Hell no. I don't know if he's a crook or we just senile.
Like, how about this? If a old person walks into a store and accidentally pays for the candy bar, Hickey, are they a thief? No. Well, I guess technically, yes, but. It's all about intent, right?
Yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, it has to be if I if I forgot the candy bar in my I don't know that the shopping cart and I roll out with it. Now, am I now a criminal?
Am I old? Jerry Jones is not a crook. He's a old, old businessman.
That's what he is. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Ian is calling from Ontario.
Is that Canada, California? You're on the JR Sportbree show. What's up, Ian? Hey, JR. Thanks for taking my call.
It's Ontario by the Earth, Ontario, Canada, by the way. I just wanted to say about Josh Allen. I've been a Bills fan for a long time, and this is the best I've seen Josh Allen play in his entire career, and I think it's more impressive by the fact that he doesn't have a wide receiver like he did with Staphon Diggs or Gabe Davis anymore. So, yeah, I just I just wanted to say that Josh Allen for MVP, go Bills. Thanks for taking my call.
Thank you, Ian, for calling from Ontario. Well, I mean, if he keeps this up, then hell yeah, right? The man is thrown for seven touchdowns. He has yet to throw an interception. The Buffalo Bills are now undefeated with a 3-0 record. They got the Ravens up next. That should be a good game. They may have their first loss there. That'll probably be an ass-whooping or a tight game, I should say, not an ass-whooping. Probably go back and forth at each other.
But who cares? Like, how many years how many years have we been talking about Josh Allen MVP candidate, a Buffalo Bills Super Bowl candidate, and how often has it, you know, bared any fruit? And so if Josh Allen continues playing like this and we got a lot more football to go, more than three games, we got 14 more games. Good for Josh Allen. But what does any of this mean if he ain't winning no Super Bowl or at least going to a Super Bowl?
Can you do that at minimum? I mean, I've had enough of the between the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens. I've had enough of the projections. I've had enough of the MVPs.
Yeah, we know Lamar Jackson has two of them. Who cares anymore? If Lamar Jackson gets a third MVP this year, what am I supposed to do?
Good for you. Win something. Win when it matters. Win when it counts. If somebody has to get past Patrick Mahomes, he ain't going to win every single year. Who's going to do it? Maybe it's Josh Allen's year. I think that's more important than anything that he would have to do with the MVP.
Anything. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Hickey, we didn't get your opinion. We have so many callers here. Is there a crook in the world of sports that stands out to you? Somebody that has not been mentioned or spoken of?
Yes. I will go back to baseball. Javier Baez of the Tigers.
Oh my God. That guy still exists? He still exists, unfortunately, for Tigers fans. Got that big six-year, $140 million contract.
Has done nothing so far to back it up. He swings at pitches that I think are in the dugout. You know what he's hitting this year, JR? In 90 games, he is batting.184. Oh my God. Oh my God. I knew he created the tornadoes and all that other stuff with the bat. 184. Woof. No coincidence, he's out of the lineup with an injury and now all of a sudden the Tigers are white hot.
It's a black hole. Is that worse than Rendon? Rendon? I mean, he's at least trying. Baez? I think he's trying. Oh yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.
I mean, not trying very well, but I'm assuming he's trying. 184? 184. Six homers, like 30-some RBIs for a guy you're paying $140 million to. And by the way, still three years left on that deal and you've got a long way to go.
So it sounds to me that he's just clocking in and clocking out. How do you not bat 200 by accident? 200. Come on, man.
For the whole year, you could do better than that. What a shame. Maybe they did bring him down here to Atlanta and he could combat the the hurricane. Hurricane Helene.
He swings the bat and send the winds the other way. That's that's pathetic. And I get it. Everybody has their their ups and their downs. Players are going to have their good years. They're going to have their bad years.
But some dudes just don't appear to care. He's one of Javier Baez. Did you miss him when he was on the Mets? I know it was a short amount of time. You miss him?
No, no, no, no. I was very happy when they did not resign him. That kind of he.
What do you do? He he didn't boo the fans. Give him a thumbs down. I think he did. Yes, he tried to fight Mets fans, essentially. It did not work out. He did.
We need a we need a team where the Mets have him. We need Cespadus back. OK, with the Cespadus. Yeah, with the with the wild boar. Yeah.
And his two broken ankles. Yeah, both of them. Oh, man. That's it.
That's a guy that was stealing money. Oh, broke his ankle stack, stepping in a hole, chasing a wild boar, then went AWOL one day. Just that was it. Never saw him again. Wait, wait until we get a top six list of worst injuries like that.
That's that's that's got to be there. How did you hurt yourself? Well, any anyway, wild boar. What? Hickey, I'm not coming to work tomorrow. Wait until the excuse I give.
OK, I can't wait. Yeah. And wild. But what can be worse than a wild boar? I bit a toad flew up from Florida in the hurricane. I got sick.
I don't know. That's just somebody. The baseball injuries sometimes are the worst. Yeah, I cut my finger on a on a drone. Hello. Thank you, Bauer. Jeff Kent on the motorcycle.
He was washing the motorcycle. Somebody else cut his hand on an apple. Joel Zumaya busted his he got carpal tunnel from Guitar Hero. That's what that's right. That's what Hickey.
That's what he said. OK. His hand and wrist went numb from Guitar Hero. What do you think he's doing instead? This ass puffed daddy. I don't know. Oh, geez. Oh, I don't know.
Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven is eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Matt is calling from Baltimore. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up, Matt? Hey, Matt, you're live on the radio. Yep, you're live on the radio. What's up? Hey, JR. Just calling in. You are so funny, man. You should have your own like sports stand up or something. You're hilarious.
Love listening to you. Just wanted to get your Nikki's opinion on Jalen Hurts in the Philadelphia Eagles fan about do you think he's like legit dropback quarterback where he can like drop back, make his reads, go through his progressions and see the open receiver? Or is is that something that can be taught and ingrained into him? Because I like to think that he's at that level. But right now, when the offense isn't working for the Eagles, it's either handoff to Saquon or, you know, like let him make a play.
But it doesn't seem like, you know, he's really, you know, getting into the quarterback play. I'm not worried about it. We have to remember that. No. And you know, this is well like Kelsey is gone.
Kelsey is gone. This is a transition period for him. We've seen him at his peak as they were going to a Super Bowl.
His touchdown to a turnover ratio was not high. The man is also capable of going out there and getting yards on the ground when he's rushing. He was hurt last year playing on that bum knee. This is a transition year. And having all of these weapons, especially now with AJ Brown out, you got to think about Devante Smith having been concussed. Saquon Barkley.
This is going to be a year in transition. All the injuries is not lending itself to Nick Sirianni, who's also on a hot seat, and they had beef. And so if I am least concerned about anything or anybody, it'd be him. Because first of all, he's not going anywhere. We've seen him lead them to a Super Bowl. We've seen how athletic he can be. He's not afraid of anything.
I personally like his demeanor. He's the same whether they win or whether they lose, which I think is important. I just think they're in a transition period right now, and the coach is not helping, and neither are the injuries. So I'd be fine with him. I think they got bigger problems, namely the wideouts are now hurt.
Right. Yeah, I'm not sure about if this is going to, because of the lack of weapons now, because of all our injuries that we've had, is this going to be a test for him that he needs to take over and do more? But I'm afraid of that because of Carson Wentz and how he played back in the day when he was always like, I got to do more. So I'm just hoping that he can run the offense and not make bad decisions. I feel like that is most paramount. I see him making decisions on throws, and it's not like, I don't know if it's his reads or what he's seen on the field, but sometimes his decision making, it gives me a little bit of a pause. If I now got to choose from Jahan Dotson at being my best wide receiver, then I may look kind of skittish as well. Let's see how the season kind of bears out. I think if they suck, I would not think it's going to be his fault.
I think there may be some other reasons. Let's see, Matt. Appreciate you for calling from B-more. Thank you. I appreciate you taking my call. Call up anytime, no doubt about it. 855-212-4227. J.J. is calling from New York.
You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. Hey, what you said before about those worst injuries, Francisco Andorra with those tall doors, got to be up there. Excuse me? Why are you whispering? I don't, I can barely understand what you're saying.
Francisco Andorra's got to be up there with those worst injuries. OK. Explain. Educate us. No, like he slammed his finger on the tall door and also the guy who ironed his shirt while it was still on him.
OK. Thank you, J.J., for calling from New York. I remember the finger one. I also remember the little fight in the dugout over what him and what's the second bait McNeil called a raccoon in a dugout. Hickey, was he on the Mets with the with the shirt or was that in Cleveland? I don't remember the shirt.
So maybe that was Cleveland. I don't remember the shirt like he got. Was that him? I remember that story. Was that him? I don't know. I don't think so. No, that was somebody else, man.
So the story is what? That he wears a shirt and then someone irons a shirt while he's wearing it? Somebody burned themselves while ironing their shirt. I don't think that was Lindor. Because the shirt was on them?
Yes, they were on in the clothes while the clothes were on and they burned themselves. Oh, that sounds stupid. Let's see. We got to see who this is.
I've never heard of that. Oh, that's John Smoltz. OK, come on. That's a mistake. I don't know. John Smoltz. And he's just he's just throwing injuries out there.
Now, what are we doing? That's a bad one. That's I mean, God, John. John Smoltz said this. Burn his chest while ironing the shirt. He later debunked the story. He said he wasn't actually wearing the shirt when he was burned and that it was hot water from the iron that splashed on him.
OK, there we go. OK. Well, hot water from the iron. I thought the water doesn't get hot until there's any iron. Do you iron your clothes a lot, JR? Do I iron clothes? Yeah, I iron clothes, steam them.
Yeah. Have you ever had water just shoot out of the iron and just burn? No, never that. Yeah, I've never heard of an iron. There's a lot of dangers with iron in your clothes. That's I don't think one of them with the hot water come from John, where the hot water come from. I mean, now I've seen water drip out of an iron. OK, if you put too much in it, the water can drip out.
But how's it dripping onto your chest? Maybe John Smoltz was at one of those. Never mind. Oh, no, no, no, no.
Interesting. No, I'm sure I've had my share of. Of that guy's no more references to him. I'm done for the week. OK, I'll leave. I'll leave 50 Cent to make fun of him.
I'm not done. How the hell are they letting 50 Cent do a whole documentary on Puff Daddy? How do they allow that? How? How?
Money talks, I guess, right? That's like if Netflix went to Scottie Pippen and said, hey, Scottie, you want to do a documentary on Michael Jordan? You want to produce the last dance? Yeah, you want to do your version of Scottie? Yeah, I'll do it. I don't. Anyway, no, no more references to that that that Puffy guy the rest of the week.
I'll try. It's the J.R. Sportbrie show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm going to talk to you about a baseball player on the other side of the break. He doesn't have to worry about injuries or not.
Now, at least he might even get his ball back. I'll explain. It's the J.R. Sportbrie show on the Infinity Sports Network.
Don't move. You're listening to the J.R. Sportbrie. Sportbrie show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. This is very important for you to know that you should think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all of your car care needs. Your guaranteed low price is an excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. I told you right before the break, as we were talking about all these thieves, Shohei Ohtani, the victim of thievery. You think he argues for that money back? Probably not. Doesn't care. He is the only person probably does not care about 40 million dollars. Yeah, the money. The money is stolen. The money is stolen.
OK. Now, here's the deal. Speaking of Ohtani. They're going to auction off that baseball. The guy who caught it allegedly reportedly turned down three hundred thousand dollars from the Dodgers. It says that, you know, guy, the ball is probably worth five hundred thousand dollars, half a million dollars right now.
Well, we now know that it's going to go up for auction. He hit the home run last Thursday on Friday. Ken Goldin, the founder who's put it up on auction. They heard from him on Friday. He contacted them on his own through social media. They flew a security guard down to Miami on Monday with him and a guy flew with him, met him and flew back on Monday.
The guy wants to remain anonymous, even though we all know who caught the ball. We have photos. And we don't know the deal. The opening bid is five hundred thousand dollars. Prospective buyers will have a chance to purchase the baseball outright.
Oh, my God. For four and a half million dollars exclusively between September 27th and October 9th. If bidding reaches three million prior to then, the options of purchase will no longer be available.
All interested parties must complete a bid. Wow. Hickey, we don't we don't even know how much this guy got the ball for. I like the numbers, though, you're throwing out. Wow. Wow. Not bad.
Aaron judges. What was that? Sixty second home run in 2022. That ball sold for one and a half mil. Really?
Yeah. The guy who caught Aaron Judge's sixty second ball turned down a three million dollar offer for the ball. Put it up for auction.
The one point five million dollar pay for judges. Sixty second. Still the most expensive baseball ever sold at auction. Wow.
The guy turned down a three million dollar offer for the ball and it only sold for one five. That guy must feel like a loser, right? Yeah. What an idiot.
Imagine losing one and a half million dollars. Couldn't be me. Yeah. Hey, they offered me three and then it ended up selling for one five. OK. It means he got it less.
Wow. We don't even know how much this guy sold the ball for. But they think the bidding can go up to. Oh, no, they're going to auction the ball. Like who's paying outright unless you're some billionaire guy who's saying, hey, I'm going to buy this baseball for four and a half million dollars. Nobody's doing that.
They're going to start the bidding at three hundred and then everybody's just going to go from there. But what this guy got eyes. We don't know the guy who caught the ball. He must be happy with what he's going to get. I would have held on to the well, I don't know. You never know. Marco Belletti, what would you have done with that ball?
A starting price at three hundred thousand bucks. What would you have done? Maybe hold on to it, but it depends on how much he's getting for it. I mean, we don't know.
We don't know. Exactly. So it's because if there's it's a decent number, I'm getting rid of it and you take your chances because I still feel like even the one and a half, which he lost half, you know, basically half the money that he should have made with three million on the first offer. These balls, like everybody seems to think at the first sight it's going to be worth so much. But when you go over time, these things really worth that much. I feel like everything loses value.
Depreciates. Well, it has to doesn't have to move hands multiple times and then the price goes up. Yeah, but that would also mean that we never see this type of accomplishment again. Yeah, but we also like we said, we don't know a deal that this guy had. I mean, so look, if Aaron Judge's 60 second ball went for one point five million, he was initially that guy was initially offered three mil. Right. And he said no.
And he's like, hey, take it. We don't know what deal he got. I'm sure it wasn't that much.
No, I get it. But I also think back to like way back, 98, like with Maguire, like 70. What did that go for? And then a few years later, bonds at 73.
And you're like, oh, man, this thing's not worth anything anymore. But a 50 50, though, like I get it. Are we going to see somebody come through and crack that? You know, Acuna was 40, 70 last year. I mean, it's possible. It's possible. I get Otani is a big name and that, you know, the international aspect.
I understand. I just wonder if the thing is going to hold its value. So I would probably lean towards let me get as much as I could possibly get right now, because I don't know what maybe I should be playing the stock market. I don't know what the hell it's going to be in 10 years from now when everybody puts up bigger numbers. The record paid for baseball is a little more than three mil from Maguire's 70th in 1999.
What's the thing worth now? I don't know. Todd McFarlane from what's that guy's name? What's that comic book guy? What's that guy's name? Seth McFarlane? We're talking family guy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Todd Todd Todd McFarlane spawn. No, no. OK. All right. Yeah.
You know, he big comic book guy. Yeah. He bought it for three five.
And I thought he sent it into space and somebody blew it up or something. I don't know. Maybe that was Barry Bonds ball or something. I just like I said, I don't know all the numbers and forget the steroid aspect of it, too, because we didn't know that was coming. But just the idea that, like, who knew that Maguire's record was going to last for three years?
Like, who knows if this thing is going to be for that long? I don't know. I don't know if you can do it. There's always a clever way around things. I would like I said, give me some money today. And after this ball moves around a few times for giving it up, you got to give me some money on the back end, too.
I might be scoffed at and curse that, but I'm going to try. Well, good luck with that one. I don't think anybody's going to give you that kind of deal. The deal's once, J.R., once. Once I take possession, then no, then you're going to keep it because once I take possession, now it's mine.
You don't want the ball that much then. Well, you give me some interest. What are you going to sell it on? I'll give you some now and then I'll take a percentage of whatever the sale is. Now, if you if you want it that bad, come on.
A guy offered some a guy offered the dude who caught Aaron Judge's ball three million bucks. Come on. You could do better than trying to, you know, shaft me. Hey, man, here's three hundred.
Here's half. I mean, screw you. Nope, it's mine. That's what I'm saying. Then you're selling it because there's no one's going to give you money and then give you a percentage later when I sell it. No, they won't. If you want it that bad. Yes, you will. Nobody's given. If you got three million, if you got three million to offer me in your back pocket today, you only come in with half. Oh, yeah, you will. Or you don't have it.
Simple as that. My ball. And I'll go to show you. You want this?
Pay for it again. I might create three million dollars. What did you think you were going to sell it for and when? Well, that that well, that guy's I don't want to say stupid, but but that's that's kind of part of this whole thing, though. Like even to get a million and a half. Like if it's worth whatever it's worth.
But how the hell are you going to get more money for this? That's Aaron Judge's guy. Forget that guy. OK, so there you go.
Tiny guy. So let's say whatever. It goes for three and a half million. Somebody buys this thing for three and a half million dollars.
Right. Four million. Call four. Let's go. Let's make it nice and even. You're going to sell it for more than four.
When? At what point is somebody going to sell it for more than four? Yeah, you take that money. I'm talking about if somebody offers you a few hundred. No, I understand that. I'm talking about the actual person that buys this thing.
That's the part that I'm confused with. Now you have the ball. You just spent four million dollars.
You have the ball. Is it just to have it and put it in a trophy case? Or do you truly think that you're going to be able to sell this thing for seven million later?
I think part of it is. Well, I think it's a vanity and some rich guy once said, hey, guess what? I got my my garage. What? OK, that makes more sense to me. Like it's just it's going to be mounted up to say I have it. Unless unless over time, you know, you have to have throwaway money to do this or, you know, you figure either I can keep it and I don't care or oh, someone wants to buy this for me. Oh, great. That's it.
You have to have, you know, screw you money to even even bother about. Yeah. Like I said, I'm just looking at it from if that's the case, then I get it. I understand people could spend money on whatever they help where they want because they have money. So it doesn't matter. Like art.
Yeah, that's fine. But when the idea that like, you know, no, no, no, this is a business decision for what? How the hell are you going to get more money that you just shelled out for this? When is this thing going to grow in value? When when a new schmuck walks into your house and says, I want to buy that off your wall. I can't imagine.
I can't imagine. That's well, well, we don't have all tiny money. We don't have three, four million dollars for baseball. See, that's the thing that I would wind up doing. That's the only way this thing could get to me more value is if you call a tiny when he starts getting that deferred money. You know, the 68 million per and you call him up and you go, remember that 50 50 ball from, you know, 10 years ago, 12 years ago.
How much you want it for? Maybe he's got enough money to go. You know what the hell with it. I just want to put that thing in my house and maybe you can get a tiny to give you 10 million straight because he's got more money than he knows to do with one man's trash is another man's treasure.
It only takes I'm not I'm serious. It only takes one person to say I want that. How much you want it for takes one person is it. And there's enough people running around with a lot of money that may just say, oh, I want it.
How much is it? Damn, there's some stupid people with a lot of money. I don't know if they're stupid. Well, have you seen some of the things that, you know, considered. We're talking about a round ball. OK. All right.
Let's talk about a round ball that does nothing, but it has value because a guy hit it. All right. It shows you the world that we live in. Give me some of that money. We got people starving out here. Give me some of that money. It's the J.R.
Sport Breeze show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Oh, my goodness. I'm going to cry. America is going to cry.
A big portion of America is already crying. It's not looking good. For Kaitlyn Clark.
It's the J.R. Sport Breeze show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break when we come back. I'm going to shed one solitary tear. I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history.
September 25th. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Breeze, the J.R. Sport Breeze show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. You just heard from Marco Belletti.
It's real sad, I guess with some people. Kaitlyn Clark's season is over. You got a couple more days to hear about her until next year. WNBA players rejoice. She got the boot. Connecticut Sun beat the Indiana Fever 87 81. Sweep them in two games. Kaitlyn Clark tonight.
Twenty five point six rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block. You see Kaitlyn Clark next year. I assume she'll be better, right?
She has to be better. First year was absolutely amazing. Anyway, I look forward to seeing next round series between the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces.
That should be a fun watch. Anyway, we've had a full show, a full show. Gave you a top six list. Andrew Brandt came through, former V.P. of the Green Bay Packers to talk about money and contracts. We got into the situation involving the former quarterback of UNLV. Matt Sluka decided to quit three games into the season. He's like, they didn't pay me my one hundred thousand dollars. I'm out.
I quit. What a day. Tomorrow's the last day for the A's. The White Sox suck.
They're trying to avoid history. It'd be hilarious if they go on like a five game winning streak to avoid holding the record. Worst team ever. One hundred twenty one losses.
Right now, they lead the Angels three to two. Funny stuff. Those are all things to check out in the future. It's the end of the show. It's time to take a look at the past. Where's the funky music? 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. Back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything.
It was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the J.R. Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is the J.R. Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Today is September twenty fifth. The year is twenty twenty four. Let's go back to nineteen ninety five, because on this day, Jerry Rice recorded his fifty first game with one hundred plus receiving yards. He broke Don Maynard's record for most in NFL history. His forty niners took on the lines.
Take a listen to this. Courtesy of ABC. And a lot of career still to come for Jerry. Jerry Rice had one hundred and eighty one yards receiving in that game. The forty niners actually lost to the Lions. Twenty seven to twenty four. How about this? September twenty fifth.
The year is two thousand. Team USA. Vince Carter dunked over a man. He dunked over a guy. A guy bigger than seven feet tall. I mean, he jumped over him. Frederick Rice.
Do you remember this? Listen. Bonato gets a little sloppy pass. Carter.
And the crowd responds to a spectacular dunk from Vince. You see why Frederick Vice is going to go play in Greece. He didn't want to see that on a nightly basis.
My goodness. He was shot out of a rocket. If Frederick Vice never showed up for the New York Knicks, he never showed up. He never came to play in America. The Knicks had his rights. He never came over smart. He was afraid of Vince Carter, who's going to have his jersey retired by both the Nets and the Raptors.
Raptors first. Hey, this day, September twenty fifth, twenty fourteen. Everything always seems to go perfect for Derek Jeter, right? Except for the Diamondbacks.
Yeah, we know that. Anyway, the Yankees beat Baltimore six to five in Derek Jeter's final game at Yankee Stadium in 2014. Of course, he hit a walk off single to win it for the Yankees. Meat deals, bases to right field. Here comes Richardson. Here's the throw for Marc Jacobs.
Richardson is safe. Derek Jeter ends his final game with a walk off single. Derek Jeter, where fantasy becomes reality. Did you have any doubt?
As Michael K from the Yes Network, of course, everything always works out for Derek Jeter. Come on. Hey, you know, it's a fun show. That was a lot of fun.
It's fun. Talked about the crooks and sports and great conversation. Andrew Brandt. Hey, we got a guy and let's talk to this guy before we roll. He got to go quick. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Brad is here from Boise. Hey, Brad, you got to go fast. You on the JR sport show.
Hey, thank you, JR. I think you're looking at the wrong thing in your villains. They're just tools. They're pawns. You got to look at the master players in this. What's millions to multi billions is really malfeasance the way they manage their teams. Like Jared Jones, man.
He's passed over so much. He had. OK, Brad. Yeah, I'm just saying I told you I appreciate you. Thank you.
I just had to go quick at the end of the show. Yeah. Come on. How many terrible. How many jokes can I make on Jerry Jones and owners? I did a whole top six list of the worst owners in sports.
We did that. We're talking about crooks, the people who are stealing money from them, not their overlords. OK, I get it, though. Jerry Jones is a wealthy crook.
If he's stealing anything, it's joy from all of the cowboy fans. You'll be OK. Anyway, if you missed a minute or second of the show, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. OK, just go ahead.
Odyssey app, JR sport brief. Boom. The show will pop right on up. We will be back with you tomorrow at six p.m. Eastern, three Pacific.
Thank you to Andrew Brant, who came through. Great conversation about money. I'm sure tomorrow we'll talk about Caitlin Clark or hear what she had to say. Maybe the last time in a while we talk about her.
I know a lot of people are happy about that. But thank you for listening. OK, you can always listen on the free Odyssey app, your local affiliate. You can find me online at JR sport brief. Hickey, where can people follow and find you?
Ryan underscore Hickey and the number three on Twitter. Yeah, we appreciate you. We hope you enjoyed the show.
The JR sport show here on the Infinity Sports Network is done. But don't leave. Don't go anywhere. A, because I said so.
And then B, Bart Winkler is coming up next. Don't miss anything. Thank you for listening.
Be smooth, be cool and be well. JR sport show is done. You're locked in here on the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you.
