It is! The JR Sportbreeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you everybody coast to coast, Canada, everywhere, over the ocean, through our ocean, under the water, under the sea. Thank you everybody for tuning in. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Super producer and host Ryan Hickey is holding it down for us in New York City.
Thank you so much to Connor for helping as well. It's good to be here. I'll be hanging out with you for one more hour.
The JR Sportbreeze Show gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. Pacific. It's been a busy Wednesday. I'm trying to get you over the hump and keep you informed.
Here, let me inform you on this. The Major League Baseball playoffs, they're still rolling on. We got a couple of teams that have already been eliminated. We got a game that's even going on right now, this minute, this second. The New York Mets, they lead the Brewers 3-1. It's the end of the fourth. The New York Mets win, they advance.
Meanwhile, we have some other games that are already finished and we got teams that have gotten the boot. The Astros are gone from the postseason. The Tigers eliminated them 5-2. The Royals knock off the O's. The Royals win 2-1. Braves got a lead over the Padres 1-0.
We'll keep you up to date on all the baseball as the night continues on. We talked about Devontae Adams and his trade. He hasn't been traded yet, but you know he wants out. We had Antonio Pierce not really give us too many answers of anything.
No shock, no surprise there. Talked about Christian McCaffrey, his dad Ed, famous wide receiver with the Broncos. Ed McCaffrey says, my son has just been working too hard. He'll be fine.
His legs will be fine. And thank you to Vincent Bonsignor for joining us from the Las Vegas Review Journal. And it is Wednesday and I gave you a top six list.
We took a look at some of the most dysfunctional teams, some of the most dysfunctional franchises in the world of sports. And if you missed the full list, you can hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. You can listen to all of the explanations and the fancy audio. And we just played it last hour. So just get the Odyssey app and hit rewind. Thank you as well to people listening live on their local Infinity Sports Network affiliate, people on Sirius XM Channel 158, and a smart speaker.
If you got a smart speaker, you ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. And number six, talking about dysfunctional teams, I gave you the Wizards. And number five, I gave you the Cowboys. And number four, I gave you the White Sox. And number three, I gave you the Raiders. And number two, I gave you the Jaguars. And then number one, I gave you the Athletics. Yeah, I'm not associating them with the city.
I gave you the A's. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Phone lines open.
If you got a team that's dysfunctional, they need to do better. Maybe they need a new owner. Call me up.
855-212-4227. Let's go to Baltimore and talk to Mike. Mike, you're on the JR Sport Reshow.
What's up? Yeah, I know it's kind of hard to believe, but don't you consider Buffalo Bills dysfunctional? No, Mike, no. I mean, think about it. Think about it. I mean, they have the most postseason appearance. Four constant Super Bowls and never won a Super Bowl. Loyal fans. Definitely loyal fans.
And then the Buffalo Bills came to Baltimore and laid a flat aid against our Raiders. No, Mike, no, no. Okay, well, I just want to congratulate Kansas City, pretty much have a number one us in the past 40 years. Okay. All right. Thank you, Mike. Appreciate it. Thank you as well.
Thank you. No, Mike. Today, right now, the Buffalo Bills are not dysfunctional. No, Mike.
No, sorry about that. Like, we got to go back almost 40 years to include like that. That makes that makes them lose. This doesn't make them dysfunctional. Like, come on, man.
Dysfunctional are the ones that want to set tables on fire and jump through that. But come on. What did the Buffalo Bills do to you? Stop it.
Come in here with that Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens beef. Cut it out. You just beat them. Leave them alone.
Neither one of y'all have beaten Patrick Mahomes for a championship yet. So cut the crap. Stop it. 855-212-4227.
It's 855-212-4227. Next thing you know, we're going to have people calling from Buffalo to go back at that guy. And then we're gonna have more people from Baltimore, Baltimore, Buffalo.
Save it. Ironically, here we got a guy from Buffalo. Matt is calling from Buffalo. You're on the JR Sport Reshow. What's up, Matt? Hey, Jay. I really can't believe that that guy from Baltimore just said that. I mean, the bill like 15 years ago?
Sure, go for it. Like, we were definitely in that category. But since McDermott's been here, we've been the second winning sports team or sports franchise in all four major sports next to Kansas City.
So I don't know how that's dysfunctional. That's like a model franchise, basically. But to my point, our other AFC doormat for the last 12 years has been the Jets. So I don't know how they're not in the category for being dysfunctional because they have the longest playoff drought. Their head coach right now is losing his coach in team history. Their owner is constantly meddling and doing all kinds of crazy stuff with the team. They basically cater to Aaron Rodgers, and then he gets hurt like last year within four plays. And they have all these players that they brought in and their coordinator to cater to him. And it's just basically a giant dumpster fire. Oh, and on top of that, they traded a very good pass rusher in Bryce Huff to the Eagles and a pick for a guy that they knew wanted a new contract and then refused to give him one who's now holding out in a Redick. I mean, who does that?
How are you going to know a guy wants a new contract, still trade for him and then refuse to give him a contract and he doesn't show up? So I don't even know how they're not number two or how to out the NFL teams because they have the definition of a dumpster fire for like 10 years now. Well, man, how often do you listen to the show, man? Uh, occasionally, like coming, you know, if I'm driving back and forth somewhere this time of night, well, I got to I got to spread the wealth. I unfortunately talk about how crappy they are all the time.
The New York Jets are not on tonight's list because I took a crap on them for about three hours earlier. So I got to spread the wealth, Matt. That's fair, I guess.
But I mean, they are dysfunctional. Yeah, I know. I'm a Jets fan. Thank you, Matt. My condolences. You don't you don't have to write the obituary every week on WFAN in New York. Hey, thank you, Matt, for calling from Buffalo.
Appreciate you. Yeah, you know how many times I make fun of the Jets? They are dumb. We know they're dumb stuff.
They are dysfunctional. I mean, I can't. How many more jokes can I make about Rob Salah carrying Aaron Rodgers bags? I made that joke three hours ago. I had to pick on the Cowboys in Washington.
Every now and then you got to spread things out, man. It's programming the show. Easy. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Hey, just because a team isn't on a top six list doesn't mean that they're not dysfunctional. Come on now. Like I could think, you know, I could think of another dysfunctional team. I make fun of them all the time, too. They're not on the list. I think the team is deplorable.
I think the team is awful. I think their quarterback, if he was old enough, he might be at one of those. What's that, guys? I forgot his name.
One of those guys parties. Let's just leave it there. Now, 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. JT is calling from Baltimore. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show.
What's good, JR? I love the show, man. As sad as I am about the O's, I got one issue with your list. I probably would have put Cleveland in over the Raiders. I do agree the Raiders are dysfunctional, but I feel like my whole life, and I'm only 33, I feel like the Raiders have, I think, rectified themselves a little bit higher than Cleveland. Even though Cleveland has won a playoff game recently, I just think the way they do business is crazy.
So I would have put the Cleveland Browns over the Raiders. But other than that, I love the show, man. I think it's good work. Thank you, JT.
Appreciate you for calling from Baltimore. No, the Raiders have been bad, bro. They have. They've been bad. Every year, it's a series of just being bad. And the Browns, they just got here.
And when I say just got here, I mean, I'm not saying I'm old, not by any stretch of the imagination, but they just got here. And I just said they're paying a qua- I didn't say the name. Deshaun Watson, okay? I talked about another NFL team being dysfunctional.
I meant it's the Browns. I said they got a quarterback who might have- if he was old enough, he would have been at one of- Hickey, am I allowed to say his name on the radio? Don't say his name, right?
Yeah, it's not Voldemort. Oh, man. Did you see the story how Tony Busby- did you see that, Hickey? That he's representing, like, almost everybody? 120 people against Puff Daddy? What? Yeah. What? Isn't that this Tony Busby is- he went after Deshaun Watson. Now he's going after Puff Daddy?
That he is. Where are these 120 people calling Tony Busby? I'm afraid probably there's a lot more, too, you would think, right? Oh, my God.
What is that? From one Puff Daddy party? From the details you read.
Oh, sickening. I can't call a guy Diddy. Never. Never called this guy Diddy. We call it a grown man Diddy.
What is that? It's enough that he was Puff Daddy. Puff. Like, that was my era growing up because Puff, that's it. When he changed his name to Diddy, I'm a grown man myself.
I'm not calling no grown man Diddy. Hickey, just with the name change, not surprised. Allegations not surprised. Right there, that was a dead giveaway. Hickey, if you came to work next week and you said, J.R., I'm no longer Ryan Hickey, you got to call me. I don't know. I can't even say the things. I'd be like, I'd be like, Ryan, no. I hope you say you're fired. Get the hell out of here. No, no, I respect for you. I'd have to talk to you, but I'd be like, Ryan, no, we're not doing this.
You're not doing this. Let somebody else call you that. I'm not calling a grown man Diddy. Hey, Diddy, how you doing? What?
No, no, no, no, no, no. Anyway, you talk about dysfunction, he's on a whole nother dysfunctional list, allegedly. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Jim is calling from Pennsylvania. You're on the J.R. Sportbreeze show. What's up, Jim? Hi, how you doing, J.R.? I'm amazing. How are you, Jim?
Good. Hey, I want to put forth the Pittsburgh Pirates, who have an owner that has no desire to win. Bob Nutting.
And they just fired their bullpen coach as their big move. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, they got Bob Nutting. I mean, what do you, what do you want? Bob Nutting. I want an owner that wants to win.
Yeah, he's a cheapskate. Good luck. How many billions of dollars you got, Jim? You got any hanging around? Oh, if I did, I'd buy them tomorrow. Oh, yeah, I hear you. Well, good luck.
Hopefully spend some money. All right. All right. Thank you. And have a good night. You as well. Thank you, Jim, for calling from Pennsylvania. Uh huh.
Yeah. Bob Nutting ain't gonna spend no money when the Pittsburgh Pirates are actually winning. He's like, yeah, I'm going to put some of this money into the team. That's what he said. And then he didn't. And he said, I need the fans to show up. Like, which one is it? The fans showed up, the team won, and then you still didn't spend no money. You lying. You know what? 855-212-4227.
855-212-4227. We're talking about dysfunctional franchises. These teams are awful. Their owners are awful. The buildings are awful. The management is awful. Terrible clown show. Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey. They're coming back, by the way.
No animals. Nils is calling from Denver. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Nils? Hey, JR. How are you doing? I'm amazing.
What's up? I'm just saying you didn't mention the Broncos yet over the last decade. That team has been trash.
I mean, quarterbacks, coaches, ownership. I want to thank them, though. They've given me back my Sundays because they're not even watchable anymore. Oh, my God. Damn.
Wow. I'm trying to think about dysfunctional teams right now. Are they are they dysfunctional today? Like now? Well, the first two games I actually watched a few quarters. Our genius coach had a rookie quarterback lined up with five receivers. No running game. I just. Yeah.
I have no idea what the plan is. They beat the Jets. They won. They won.
It was ugly, but they won. But the Jets, Ross versus the Jets, he's one of them has to come out, right? OK. Well, thank you, Nils. You drive safe, OK? Thanks, JR. All right.
No problem. Shout out to Nils for calling from Denver. It's so bad. It's a joke to Nils. He's laughing. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We're talking about jokes of a franchise dysfunction. We got Steve from Boise, Boise, Idaho, you on the general support show. What's up, Steve? Hey, JR. What's up? But I want to talk about the California agents. Oh, boy. I want to talk dysfunctional. Oh, boy.
You got OK. I got an owner that won't spend money on anything as far as fighting players. And then he buys players. And the first thing they do is they break down and go on. Oh, oh, man, they players in baseball, trout and and Otani.
And couldn't even make it to a five hundred or the playoffs. What the heck is that? Oh, Steve, your phone connection is not good. Sorry about that. I agree with you. The Angels suck. They do. They got an owner in Artie Moreno.
Now, if any, if they were going to move a team and I said this last week, if you're going to move a team to Las Vegas, move the Angels, ain't nobody going to miss them. Nobody. This man said, I'm going to sell the team, and then he backed out of it.
Who does that? He had everybody excited and he's like, I'm going to keep the team. A loser. Players are losers, too. Sorry. And the manager said his players are losers.
Ron Washington was just like, I ain't got nobody on a team that I can win with. Are you serious? 855-212-4227 Fran is calling from Delaware. You're on the J.R. sport show. What's up, Fran? Hi, J.R. J.R., can you define your term dysfunctional for me? Define it for me. Clown show.
Can't get out the way. Losing organization, losing culture. The owner is nutty. He hires nutty people.
It's just awful all the way around. OK, I'm going to I'm going to focus on the owner, the Indianapolis Erse's. The Erse family is a clown show.
The Erse's, if you recall. Oh, boy. Well, hold on, Fran. Is Jim home? Is he safe at home? Is he in recovery? What was Jim doing? Oh, he's got a bag full of pills in a limousine and seventeen thousand dollars in his briefcase pulled over by the Indianapolis police.
And it was just pushed under the under the law. He's he's he has addiction problems. That's not nice. I don't know what addiction problems. What are the next problem? The next owner? Well, they don't got billions of dollars now.
Do they have more money? You can get out of stuff. We know that, Fran.
Come on. So when he left Baltimore and stole the team and left to go to Indianapolis, took all of the history, the memorabilia, the colors, the horseshoe, the blue and white, and never left it behind in Baltimore, unlike Art Modell, who did do that for Cleveland. And Art Modell is not in the Hall of Fame until Art Modell gets in the Hall of Fame.
The Cleveland Browns will never sniff a Super Bowl. The vendetta is there. The curse of Art Modell lives. OK, well, thank you, Fran. Appreciate you for calling from Delaware. You have a good night, OK?
Go Ravens. All right. Thank you, Fran. Damn. Ouch.
You know what? I need to lift some spirits. I need to make people feel better.

Get guaranteed low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. You know, I gave you my top six list. Most dysfunctional teams in sports right now. And number one, I told you the athletics. I don't know what to call them anymore. I don't know if I want to call them the leave Oakland out of it. But I got a lot of calls. People like the Jets, the Browns.
I'm like, yeah, of course, they all dysfunctional. I got six slots. Come on now. Make fun of teams all the time. I can't put every team on a bad list all the time.
Get some more of your calls momentarily. I do want to give you an update on some of the baseball action that we've had. And I got to show love to Detroit. So, you know, every now and then a team becomes good and you show them love. When they suck, you don't.
Unless they're on one of these lists. Right now, the Brewers put some runs on the board. New York Mets are trying to put some on the board themselves. The Mets lead the Brewers a three to two in the sixth inning.
Earlier today, this really sucks for everybody listening in Houston. But we saw the Astros go down. I know it's only two games. The Tigers swept them. They won five to two. A matter of fact, I want you to listen to this highlight. Andy Ibanez, this man hit a three run triple in the eighth.
This is basically what gave them the victory and ultimately allowed them to win their first series since 2013. This is from the Tigers radio network. Peter works third base side place that right foot in front of the left when he sets the one to swing the line drive down the left field line, looking for the corner ball up against the wall. Fierling is in. Torkelson is in.
They're waving him home. Torkelson around third. He will score. Ibanez ends up on third. It's a three run double and the Tigers take a five two lead in the eighth.
And that's that's pretty much all she wrote. Houston is going home after going to every American League Championship Series, which feels like for the past decade. Now they go home.
No one stays on top forever. And I know who's happy. Yankee fans are happy. Houston Astros have just been their boogeyman. Also, right now, the Padres are smacking the Braves five to one in the bottom of the third. Padres win today and the Atlanta Braves, they take their injured behinds home right back here to Atlanta. The Royals eliminated the Orioles two to one. Orioles I guess a little too young.
Not old enough yet. The bats fell asleep in a big moment. They did it last year, too. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. It's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Mike is calling from Birmingham. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Mike? What's going on, JR? How are you?
Not too bad, man. Yeah, two teams that I was going to talk about, you know, SEC and all that is Florida and Auburn, right? So we've got problems with the Gators. You know, you go from Urban Meyer, you go to Dan Mullen, now you've got Billy Napier. What's going on with Billy Napier and the Gators, you know?
The other thing is with Florida, you know, with the Auburn Tigers, you get you had Tuberville, you go from Gene Chiswick, Malzahn, you go from Kevin Steele, Brad Harsin, and then Cardale came in for a bit. What's going on with Hugh Freeze, you know? They got a lot of problems now on the plane. Is there anybody else for him to blame? Is he going to blame himself or the players? He's blaming the players, man. You've seen that.
That's my, that was a rhetorical question, Mike. Yeah, that's, I mean, yeah, I'm not too sure what's going on with that. You know, I mean, the play calling, you know, they had it last week, you know, with the Oklahoma Sooners, you know, they had the Spilock linebacker, you know, straight in the center, you know, what does he do?
He throws the pick six. They, you know, they just can't get right down in Auburn. So I'm just, I'm not too sure what's going on with Auburn. But the other thing is, you know, the Gators, man, I mean, you, they got to have winning coaches down there. That's a tradition.
So it's, it's hard to watch. They're gonna be, they're gonna be paying Billy Napier a whole lot of money to take a hike. So they better start taking.
They better start taking up a collection or something. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. Well, thank you, Mike. Appreciate you. Yes, sir.
No problem. No doubt about it. Yeah, I mean, you got all these new SEC teams coming in. You got Texas lighting people up.
And you got the Florida's and Arbors that they continue to take a backseat. 855-212-4227 dysfunctional sports franchises. Mike is calling from Chicago.
What's up, Mike? JR, you're the best voice on the radio. I love your reasoning. You're just an intelligent man.
I just want to give kudos to you because you are a good man. I just got to say this. I don't understand how the Chicago Bears aren't in this conversation. The Chicago Bears, and the reason I'm going to say this, yes, I know they went to the Super Bowl in 06.
They won in 1985, which was a long time ago. But they were the storied franchise of the NFL. George Hallis financed the Green Bay Packers into existence. If it wasn't for George Hallis, we wouldn't have NFL football. The Chicago Bears were well respected up until the mid 80s, until the early 90s. The McCaskey family took over.
It's just been a debacle. Yes, I know there's teams out there that haven't been to the Super Bowl. I think the Vikings are one of them. I think the Lions are one.
I'm pretty sure I'm not 100% sure. No, I think the Vikings were. The Lions were never at Super Bowl.
There's a couple other teams. But the Chicago Bears are pathetic. Right now, their coaching is terrible. They could draft a quarterback, but they wreck the quarterback. They don't know how to develop the quarterback. And I'm going to make a guarantee. I'll call next year at this time and prove to you that they have wrecked Caleb Williams.
Oh, my God. Oh, Mike, I'm just talking about teams that are dysfunctional like right now. They're dysfunctional right now. I mean, the season just started. Hit me up at the end of the year, not right now. Let the rookie quarterback play. Well, we'll let them play. But Justin Fields, I said, I swear to God, honest to God, you can ask anybody of my friends if I got him on the phone.
I said last year, they better not get rid of Fields. This guy is a generational talent. He's a great athlete.
He can run. And they said, build a team around that man. And they didn't do it. Well, they're trying to build one around Caleb.
So we'll see what happens. Give it time, Mike. They took two years back, J.R. They took two years back. Justin Fields is in his third year. Caleb Williams starting over again.
I mean, this is what they do. One step forward, three, four steps back. Well, the fact, yeah, but then you have you have the financial implications of sticking with Fields and he's already been traumatized. It was time to kind of move on. It's time to move on. I hear you, man. Thanks a lot, buddy.
No problem, Mike. Thank you for calling from Chicago. Give the rookies a chance.
Let the rookies play. Come on. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Let's get another one in here. Dustin calling from Michigan. You're on the general sport reshow. Hey, how's it going? Great. Hey, I just wanted to let everyone know that there is hope out there as a man from Michigan, been a Lions fan all my life. I'm finally in the winning bracket.
It's amazing. It can happen to me if it happens to me. Who are you talking about? What team? I'm talking to Detroit Lions, man. Oh, OK. Yeah. Round of applause. OK. I just wanted to give people hope.
I mean, I know all about a dysfunctional management and ownership. All right. I just want to be that that beacon of light. I appreciate it. Well, thank you. Dustin is a Reverend Dustin calling from Michigan.
Thank you, Pastor Dustin, giving everybody a little bit of hope. Hey, you feel inspired? You feel good? Very much so. Yeah, very much so.
Yeah. Thank you, Reverend. What was his name? I've got his name already. Dustin. Reverend Dustin, Pastor Dustin, thank you so much. All need a little bit of hope. No hope. What's this?
Kansas City of Royals, Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals and the Yankees start Saturday at six thirty. OK. All right. Anyway, it's the J.R. sport reshow here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break.
The phone line's open if you want to continue to call me. I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. We're going to get ready to roll out. You are listening to the J.R. sport brief, the J.R. sport reshow here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. What a day. What a show.
What a day. We got all this baseball. We have all the Devante Adams trade news. We talked about Rob Salah and Aaron Rodgers' relationship. We talked about how bad Florida State is. Sorry to all my Seminole fans. I gave you a top six list.
Some of the most dysfunctional teams in sports right now. I gave you the athletics at number one. It took a bunch of your phone calls. I'll still get some more. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Hickey, let me ask you. We talked about a lot of dysfunctional teams right now. Is there a team that I mentioned or one that I didn't mention that stands out to you?
I am shocked nobody has mentioned the Carolina Panthers. Wow. Are they dysfunctional or just bad? Oh yeah, they are bad. They're dysfunctional.
They're both. With David Tepper throwing a drink on fans, meddling in the front office, benching their quarterback after two games. You know, now it seemed to kind of work out a little bit, but still like it just the logic did not really match up what they were doing. You fired a head coach in Frank Reich after nine games hiring him months earlier. This is just, I mean, he gave Matt Ruhle that big contract that just flamed out in his face.
Everything David Tepper has touched has gone to crap. And they got a mascot. His name is Serper. That's right. That's a stupid name. I thought you were going to say that's the best part of the franchise. No, no, no, no.
That's dysfunctional as well. Yeah, you're a Panther. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're the Carolina Panthers. We bite and we fight. And what's your mascot's name?
Serper. Very, very, yeah, very aggressive and threatening. Not that I expect a real Panther on the field, but I mean damn. That, maybe that's how they get the franchise back.
A little intimidation on the sideline. Listen, you understand, remember Peter, Peter emailed us. Remember that?
Yes. They like us over here. We don't want to give Peter a reason not to like us. Okay, let's remember that. Okay.
That's fair. You know what? Let's do this though.
I'm going to go into a few things that took place this day in sports history. I'm going to do that. And then I want to get to some more of your calls before we get out of here. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. You know what? Let's go back in time. It's time for this day in sports history. You see, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything and it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show.
I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. And we are going back, back, back in time. Today happens to be October 2nd.
The year is 2024. But if I go back to October 2nd, the year 1994, Don Shula, he took on his son in a game, the first father-son game ever. And then, well, Don, his Dolphins beat Dave's Bengals 23-7. Listen to Don Shula. Well, the thing that you can't ever let take over is emotion in this business. And it's our football team against Dave's football team. And that's the important thing. My responsibility is to get our team back on track. We lost a tough one last week to Minnesota and we needed this one. And I know that Dave needed it bad too.
But, you know, you just can't let your own personal feelings or emotions enter into it. Yes, well, we know about Don. He's won more games than anybody in NFL history. And well, let's just say Dave, his son, not a lot. He had a record of 19 and 52 with the Bengals.
Hey, we all can't be like our dad, can we? Not Dave. Anyway, this day in sports history, October 2nd, the year is 2001, is Sammy Sosa. This man hit his 60th home run. He set a Major League Baseball record, his first guy with 360 home run seasons. Listen to slamming Sammy Sosa. Here's the 3-1. Sammy hits a high drive. Get out the tape measure.
Long gone. 60 times 3. Sammy Sosa launching one onto Waveland Avenue.
And he becomes the first man ever to hit 60 or more home runs in three different big league seasons. Yeah, Sammy Sosa, that man was drinking a lot of milk. A lot of milk. He went from being a bean pole to being a tree. A lot of milk. Then he forgot how to speak English when he needed to explain it.
It was a lot of milk. Just believed that. Hey, October 2nd, 2016.
I can't believe it was 2016. Oh my goodness. One of my favorite, if not my favorite broadcaster of all time. Vince Scully said, I'm out of here. He chopped down his schedule. He's like, I ain't traveling. I ain't flying.
I'm not doing a whole game. But Vince Scully signed off this day in 2016. The Giants beat the Dodgers 7-1.
But I want you to listen to one of the greatest voices you will ever hear in your life, courtesy of Spectrum Sportsnet. Sergio Deal slider, hit in the air to left center, coming over is Padani. Puts it away. And the Giants are the wild card team. The city is going wild, appropriately enough. And they are heading for New York. No runs. One hit for the Dodgers.
They managed to leave four men on base because they were the only four they got on base. The Giants in the Western Division are 45 and 31. The Dodgers are 43 and 33.
So inside the division, they certainly were the better team. That was awfully nice. The umpire just stood up and said goodbye. As I am saying goodbye, seven runs, 16 hits for the winning Giants, one for one for the Dodgers.
The winner, Matt Moore, the loser, Kenza Maeda. I have said enough for a lifetime. And for the last time, I wish you all a very pleasant good afternoon. Man, he passed away two years ago. Tom Fly, everything flies, man. Vince Scully was the man. I used to love listening to Vince Scully, especially when the Internet was really going. I used to I could listen to Major League Baseball radio on on the Internet. I listen to Vince Scully TV rate.
I love Vince Scully. Anyways, we get ready to wrap up. Let's get some calls in quick. 855-212-4227.
Todd was calling from Maryland. Go ahead, Tyler. Go quick. How you doing, J.R.? Good, man. Hey, man. Look, yeah, I'm Baltimore through and through.
Not a lot to complain about. I've seen a Ravens Super Bowl in 2013. I also went for the Wizards and the Caps. So I've seen a Stanley Cup. Not necessarily anything but the Wizards.
So I was talking about the Orioles. Quick, quick, Tyler. Quick. I said quick.
I'll go quick. So last year we get swept by Texas. It was it was hurtful. We've had three home playoffs in my lifetime.
I was born in 96 and I just got back from the game tonight against the Royals. We lose again. We got all the young talent in the world. You're talking about dysfunctional franchises.
You know, we moved on from Anglos family. Yes. Rubenstein now. You have, Tyler, you have you have a new owner. You have young players. Let them develop and wait for the pitching to get ready. OK, Tyler? Where do we go from here? Tyler, it's called development and getting older.
I can tell you about a Yankees team that, as you very well familiar, spends a lot of money, buys guys, and they haven't won a championship since 09. You have a young nucleus. Just wait a little while. OK, Tyler?
Be patient. OK, brother. OK. Thank you so much.
Appreciate you. David calling from Washington. Hopefully, David, you understand what go quick means.
Go ahead, David. All right. I'm from I live in D.C., but I'm from Cleveland originally and I'll talk dysfunctional teams. There's a lot of bad ones right now, but I'm talking long term. Cleveland Browns.
Come on now. They've got a lot of badness in that in that franchise for a long time. Some great players and some serious dysfunction.
And they're never going to get good until they fix that toxicity and cancer that they have in that organization. So I'll close with this real quick. Detroit Line, no Super Bowl. Browns, no Super Bowl. Buffalo, four losses in the Super Bowl. What are those four teams have in common?
Three teams have in common. I don't know, David. Go quick.
I'm not doing a show in town. Go ahead. They border Lake Erie. So I'm just saying there's something in that water. OK, thank you, Dave. All right.
You're supposed to play a guessing game about Lake Erie. Come on. Go back to Cleveland, David. Come on.
You don't have to convince me to Cleveland's dysfunctional. We know that we do. We all know that. Anyway, what a fun show. Oh, I got to say this.
Hickey, I forgot to tell you the other day. Did you hear that they they announced FIFA announced all the sites for the Club World Cup and they're going to stage some of the games at MetLife near you? They're going to have some down here with me in Atlanta and Mercedes-Benz. You hear about that? No, you said the Club World Cup? Yes. So we're going to have like the World Cup, but it's going to be the best team.
So, you know, I don't know. I like BVB. So Borussia Dortmund is going to go and take on, I don't know, you know, Real Madrid. And we're going to find the best club. So remember that guy, Noah Lyles, complaining about the best teams in all this in the world?
Yes. FIFA is basically going to do this with the best soccer team. So instead of representing country, we're going to have the best clubs. Interesting.
You have a club from Brazil, you have a club from Germany. And then so Noah Lyles can just shut up. Maybe you can stuff him in a closet for a little while. Go find something else to complain about.
He will. So we got 12 stadiums in the United States. And so MetLife near you, Mercedes-Benz here in Atlanta near me. A shout out to everybody in Charlotte Bank of America Stadium, Lincoln Financial in Philadelphia. And it takes place next year, starting in June of 2025. And the final is going to take place in New York.
So Hickey, we might have some some good stuff to see in MetLife Stadium. We normally get crappy Jets and Giants. Yeah, you're right about that. At least we'll finally get some winners. Yeah, lots of winners. Not not the Jets and not the Giants.
Rob Salah will probably be going by that. Yeah. Listen, people, go ahead and check out the FIFA World Cup. Hickey, you should come to Atlanta. I'll come up to New York. Piece of cake.
Deal. You got it. Hey, it's the JR Sport Reshow.
If you missed a minute or a second, hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. And thank you to everybody who called up. We got some baseball. We'll see what happens into tomorrow as well.
Hey, thank you so much. We had a great guest as well. My main man came on through Vincent Bonsignor to talk about the Raiders and Davante Adams. We'll have plenty more tomorrow Thursday. You've been listening to the JR Sport Reshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.
Don't move. Bart Winkler is up next. Thank you so much. Ryan Hickey. And yeah, thank you, Connor. I appreciate you all. Thank you for listening.
