It is! The JR Sport Brief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Happy Tuesday to you. Coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Much love and many thanks to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. This is when the show gets started.
Every single weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. We got listeners coast to coast. You could be on the West Coast, the East Coast, somewhere in the middle. You could be in Canada.
What's up? We got all of North America listening right now. This is where we'll be for the next four hours starting at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific, every single weekday. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much to our super producer and host Ryan Hickey in New York City.
We got a lot to get into. New York Jets fired their head coach Rob Salah. Walked him out the building. Damn.
Didn't even say body of coworkers. Damn. Derek Carr, his oblique hurts.
Ouch. Gonna be out for a few weeks with the Saints and drive the Saints further into the toilet than they already were going. And then the New England Patriots, a team that's been swimming in the toilet. They're telling Drake May, hey man, jump in.
It's your turn. Jacoby Percette being told that he needs to have a seat. And then meanwhile, in Major League Baseball, NLDS, the New York Mets currently lead the Phillies.
Right now, this minute, this second, one to nothing, top of the fourth. You can thank Pete Alonso. Hit a home run in the second. Pete Alonso is trying to get paid. He's like, listen, I sucked in a regular season. I need my money.
I'm going to earn my money when it counts the most. Let's see what the New York Mets do. The Phillies and Mets tied here in this series.
Keep you up to date on everything that'll go on later on tonight. We got the Dodgers and the Padres. Padre fans have been warned. Don't throw anything. Don't hurt anybody. Try your best to act like a decent human being. I doubt that that happens, but we'll see.
Let's hold out a little bit of hope in humanity. We got so much to get into here over the next four hours. Of course, I'm going to get into the New York Jets in a second. They've been the story that has dominated everything and everybody all day. Ryan Dunleavy, he's going to come through in about two hours from now to talk about the New York Jets.
He works for the New York Post. And then we had a great chat with this man on Friday. Well, we both thought it was going to be a quiet weekend in the world of college football.
It was not. Dan Walken is going to come through from USA Today to have a chat with us about some of these upsets that we saw over the weekend and how this might affect things moving forward. Hello, Loser Tennessee. Hello, Loser Alabama. Y'all guys lost over the weekend.
Not my fault. If you want to communicate with me, it's simple. The phone number here is 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. You can also get ahold of me. I exist everywhere. I am at JR Sport Brief, at JR Sport Brief everywhere. Thank you for listening on the free Odyssey app, your local affiliate, Sirius XM 158, and a smart speaker if you have one.
And if you have one, you've already told it to play the Infinity Sports Network. And boom, here you are. Super producer and host, Ryan Hickey. How the hell are you? You doing good? So far, JR, I'm doing very well today. New York Mets are winning so far.
You're OK. OK, so far, so good. Peter Lanza looks like that home run he had the other day really unlocked him now for hopefully what could be a deep postseason run. We can all hope. Hope.
Right now, the Phillies on. Oh, no, we tagged them out. Got them out.
Good, right? Got them out. Out. Out. We tagged them in his head. That's not nice, right? When you got a lot of hair, you know, that's one of the drawbacks. A lot of area for you to get tagged out.
That's part of it. We'll see how things continue on. We'll keep you up to date with the Mets and the Phillies. And then in the latter hour of the show, while I'm still here, of course, we'll keep you up to date with those Dodgers and the Padres. That's if they actually play a baseball game and not try to beat the living hell out of each other.
That includes all of the fans in the stands as well. But let's get down to brass tacks. We're going to get into Drake May. We're going to talk about, you know, Derek Carr. We're going to talk about the other New York baseball team. They got a giant six foot seven guy that sucks right now. His name is Aaron Judge.
Let's let's stay in the New York metropolitan area. Let's go ahead and talk about what shocked the living hell out of everybody this morning. Robert Salah is no longer the head coach of the New York Jets.
He's gone. Now, was this really a shock? The answer is no. Is it slightly surprising that it took place now? I would say kind of, but not because it's the Jets.
Let's think about this. The Jets are so damn bad that they have hitched their future. They've hitched their present.
They've hitched their now. They've hitched the idea of winning a Super Bowl around the neck of Aaron Rodgers, a guy who wanted to retire and then not retire, a guy who wanted to leave the Packers but didn't want to leave the Packers, a guy who was motivated by them selecting Jordan Love and then a guy who still left anyway, a guy who went up into a mountain to disappear, a guy who went to Egypt when the rest of the team was practicing, a guy who told everybody, we, the New York Jets, need less distractions. We need to be all in on football. But he sits around on a damn ESPN show every week. This is the guy with the New York Jets. Oh, by the way, he's 40 years old.
I'm going to be 41. Oh yeah, by the way, this guy tore his Achilles last year. Oh yeah, by the way, I don't care how many visits to a hospital he does for little children. This guy's a jerk. He's not a leader. He's the boss of the New York Jets. So when the New York Jets selected Zach Wilson to lead the way, and then they had Mike LaFleur as the offensive coordinator, and then when the New York Jets said that we failed Zach Wilson, and then when Zach Wilson failed so damn much, he sucked too, by the way.
That wasn't just the Jets. They said, we can't have this guy out here. We got a great defense. Zach Wilson won't even take accountability for who and what he is. It's like, hey, you suck, Zach. Do you feel bad about the defense?
No. All right, we can't do this. We got to get this guy out of here. So they begged Aaron Rodgers to come in. The defense is great. We have no QB. Now they brought in the QB. The offensive line sucked.
The guy lasted four plays last year, needed to have his Achilles stitched up, stitched back together, and now he's here. And the New York Jets, they suck. They're scoring the same amount of points as they had last year, right now. The offense looks pathetic.
That game in London was garbage. And so I've been saying this for months. A matter of fact, I've been saying this for years. I've been saying this when the New York Jets still had options. Derek Carr, Aaron Rodgers, they had options. You might as well swing for the fences if you're the New York Jets because you're used to being trash.
1969 is the last and only time they won a championship. But it was dangerous because you can swing for a grand slam. But if you miss, you're done for years. And pretty much this might as well be strike two for the Aaron Rodgers experiment. He gets hurt last year. You're done season done.
Rob Salah sticks around. This man came over to the New York Jets as their head coach in 2021. Nobody gave a damn what happened last year. Oh, Aaron got hurt.
We just got to forget about that year. Aaron Rodgers is back and then he doesn't want to fully work and goes to Egypt. The team sucks.
They have a two and three record. He's scoring and, you know, he scores a touchdown. Robert Salah is trying to give him a hug.
Aaron Rodgers is pushing him off. Well, what the hell type of body language is that? I mean, poor body language. They're arguing about the cadence there.
They're telling everybody how great of a relationship that they have. Come on. Now, who believed this?
Last week on the Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rodgers sat down and he said, me, Rob Salah? We're buddies. We're friends.
Listen to this. I don't get into what the conversation is going on outside the building around myself, the relationships that I have. The most important ones are looking a guy in the eye in the locker room or in a meeting room and knowing, you know, he's got your back, you get his back. Rob and I have a great relationship. We have since day one when I got here. You know, we have, you know, text message conversations, threads that we're in. Uh, conversations about a number of different topics outside of football. Um, we got a good friendship.
We got a good friendship. Yeah. He was interested in Egypt for sure. Yeah. He fined him for going to Egypt cause he didn't want to show up to work. It's a funny comment. Egypt. Yeah.
Egypt. And Rob Salah said it too. He's like, yeah, I love Aaron Rodgers.
I love him. Listen to this from last week. There is no cadence issue.
There never was a cadence issue. It was created. What is your relationship with Aaron now? Aaron and I are fantastic. Love the guy. Oh man. I've been saying this for a long, I said this from last week.
I said when he's no longer the head coach of the New York jets, which happened sooner than I thought would happen, but eventually figured it would. Are they still friends? Are they still buddies? Did Aaron Rodgers send him a text message? Hey man, thank you so much.
Love working with Diddy. Hickey. Did he send him a text? No chance.
Oh, I think he did. Come on. You think, Hey Rob, sorry to hear what happened. Love you bro. Talk soon.
You really think Aaron Rodgers sent that today? Yeah. Sorry. Sorry for what happened. Yeah.
I do. Sorry. I had to do it. Oh no. Sorry.
I had to do it. What? Give him the boot. I guess he wouldn't take accountability for that.
He would say, sorry. What? He made that decision.
I think there were, I think there was some type of community or I think there will be communication over the next several days. I think I could be wrong, but this is what I know I'm not wrong about. And this is what everybody knows. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to surmise this.
It didn't take a rocket scientist to surmise this when it took place. I've been saying this too. Aaron Rodgers, everybody works for him. Woody Johnson now works for Aaron.
Yeah. He's the owner of the team. He works for Aaron Rodgers.
That ain't no big old shock. The guy walks in with a Superbowl ring. He's one of the most efficient quarterbacks that you've ever seen. He's a walking computer, but he's getting old now.
Okay. He can still play. I think Aaron Rodgers is still a decent quarterback. I still think he's a good quarterback. Is he MVP caliber? Not for what the hell we've seen. Hell no.
But he's the boss. The New York Jets just, they put all their chips in the middle of the table. They went to Vegas and they're on the verge of losing it all.
They're about to figure out how they can even get a plane ride home. The New York Jets, here's step one. Aaron Rodgers got hurt last year. Last year was a waste. The beginning of this year, the New York Jets suck. The offense sucks so bad. They need to probably go out there and get Devontae Adams from the Raiders.
They're terrible. Offense stinks. Rob Salah gets blamed for that. What a funny story that the report comes out that Rob Salah was considering hot firing the offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett before he got fired. Nathaniel Hackett? Why is he with the New York Jets? Because they basically hired him to help lure in Aaron Rodgers. Come on.
And so, yes, I told you. Rob Salah carried the bags for Aaron Rodgers. The body language was disgusting. Shoving him off, even if that's, you don't shove the, come on.
Undermining him. Come on. With these stupid, even last year. Like you're not even playing. You're doing poor, small, postmortems of the jet games after they're finished, man.
Go rehab your legs. Shut up. Joe Douglas, he's just stuck in the middle. Who is he? He just manages the team. Okay.
And then Woody Johnson. He didn't got no choice and nothing. He's like, I'm the owner.
Okay. The buck stops with me. And you know what?
That's exactly what he told everybody today. Woody Johnson, the owner of the New York Jets. I call him the Band-Aid man.
Why? His last name is Johnson. He didn't just wake up and buy the team. He's of the Johnson and Johnson family. The Band-Aid people, the gauze people, whatever the hell else Johnson and Johnson sells, it's him, baby, baby oil. Pete Diddy knows him.
Yeah, that's their baby oil. He bought it from him. Besides all of that, Woody Johnson spoke to the media and he says the decision to fire Rob Salah, it was mine. I did talk to Joe Douglas about it, but in the end of the day, this was my decision and my decision alone. And, you know, I've had enough experience doing these things. It's the first time I've done it this early, but I thought, you know, once again, I thought and think that this will help the team, help this talented team achieve the goals that the team wants and that I want and the fans want. Oh boy. Oh, this was the, oh man. You know what? I'm going to give my more of my thoughts on this second.
Let's continue on. Woody Johnson talked about the expectations of these New York Jets because Woody Johnson told everybody, since I bought this team, this is the best version of it ever. We needed to win this year.
I needed to fire this guy. This is one of the most talented teams that has ever been assembled by the New York Jets. I want to give this team, I wanted to give this team the most opportunity to win this season. I feel that we had to get the most out of this I feel that we had to go in a different direction and that's why I did that today. This change, the change that we made today that I made, I believe will bring new energy and positivity that will lead to more wins starting now.
You better hope so. This is what the New York Jets have set their whole future on. Winning with Aaron Rodgers. Winning a Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers. There ain't nobody behind Aaron Rodgers to lead the way. Jordan Travis is way back on the depth chart hoping that his leg works and maybe one day he can become the New York Jets quarterback.
But here's the unfortunate part. Whenever Aaron Rodgers decides to wake up and leave the New York Jets, like I don't know, go on a permanent vacation into the woods in Portland, beautiful woods of Portland, Oregon, drink some ayahuasca, go to South America, go to Egypt. Whenever Aaron Rodgers decides that he doesn't want to be in New Jersey anymore with the Jets, the Jets are screwed. And this is what we all knew. The New York Jets were either going to win a Super Bowl or they were going to go into the depths of hell the minute that this guy decides to leave.
It looks like the depths of hell are more likely. Yeah, they might get Devante Adams in the trade. Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure that they're going to look good with their new head coach Jeff Albrecht.
You know, you always get a little bit of a oomph, a little bit of a bump when you finally go out there and make the change. Do I think the Jets are underperforming? Yes, I think we all know that given the talent that they have.
The defense is not a problem. So ironically, they fire the head coach whose forte was defense. They don't allow him to fire the offensive coordinator whose team is underperforming because you can't fire the offensive coordinator because he also works for Aaron Rodgers.
Everybody works for Aaron Rodgers. And when you look at the entire NFL, I think there's some other teams that are better equipped to win a Super Bowl. It'll still be a massive disappointment if the Jets don't get into the playoffs. I still think they'll get in. Wild card, what have you. Maybe they'll fight to the death with the Buffalo Bills. They'll get in. Am I going to favor them to win the championship this year?
The answer is no. That'll be the greatest miracle, the greatest comeback that the world has ever seen because this is the New York Jets. And unfortunately, what's more likely and what is most likely is that one day Aaron Rodgers packs his bags and says, I want to leave. The New York Jets don't have a quarterback. The New York Jets don't have a coach. The New York Jets are likely going to have to fire the general manager and the New York Jets are going to have to start from scratch and suck for many more years because another Green Bay Packers experiment quarterback. Hello, Brett Favre.
Screwed him. Or maybe the New York Jets here have a history of screwing themselves. Aaron Rodgers gets hurt.
You bet on the old quarterback behind a crap offensive line. The head coach gets blamed. He gets the boot. What's next?
I think I've seen this story before. The superstar player you bet everything on. The aging guy decides to leave and the franchise is tanked. The writing is on the wall for this situation. Good luck to the New York Jets. You're going to need it. You haven't had luck since 1969. Good luck with that diva ass Aaron Rodgers.
This is what you wanted. You swung for the fences and so far you're missing. It's the JR Sport re-show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network.
We have so much to get into. I told you about Derek Carr and his oblique. We're going to give you an update on Devante Adams.
What the hell is going on? Is he going to be a Jet? Is he going somewhere else? Drake May has a new job.
The starting quarterback for the New England Patriots. The New York Mets and the Phillies are still going at it right now. New York Mets are up two to nothing against the Phillies. We have so much to get into. If you want to be a part of the show it's easy. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Unlike Robert Salah, I will be here to do my job on the other side of the break. You're locked into the JR Sport re-show but right now I need to tell you this. So sports fans listen up because one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and bladder leaks can be a side effect. That's why Depend is teaming up with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to encourage screening because health it's a long game and it's yours to win.
Now here's the cool part. Through November Depend is contributing up to $300,000 to prostate cancer research by donating 40 cents for every purchase of shields, guards, and real fit products. Void in Mississippi.
Learn more at Depend.com. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It's the JR Sport Brief show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Rob Salah has been fired as head coach of the New York Jets. You knew that.
The owner of the Jets, Woody Johnson, he says it was his decision and his alone. Of course it was. I mean, you got to make Aaron Rodgers happy, right? Of course. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. Here we got Gary from Jacksonville. Then we'll talk about what the Patriots are doing with their quarterback. Gary, what's up?
Hey, long time no speak. You know, Robert Salah, he was obviously made a scapegoat. I mean, we all know what Woody Johnson and Aaron Rodgers talked about last night.
And, uh, you know what he is? He's a Lebron killer without the championships. Well, at least Lebron won championships when he got the coaches fired. Aaron Rodgers won Super Bowl, a bunch of playoff failures where he failed to put points on the board.
I think twice he, they had the NSC championship game in Green Bay and he lost both those times when he had the home field advantage. Uh, so it was three interceptions in London and it was 10-9 the week before, but somehow this is Robert Salah's fault? Come on. We know somebody, somebody has to pay. And typically in a world of sports and who's more expendable, the head coach of the players. So you get rid of the coach. Exactly. Cause you can't fire all 53 players. He can't find me.
Yeah. He's been miserable. I don't know why people thought that Aaron Rodgers at 40, 41 years old coming off an Achilles injury who, uh, is actually 22. He was terrible last year in Green Bay.
Why did they think he was going to be the savior? I mean, they were going to turn back and get an Aaron Rodgers of 10 years ago. I don't think they were looking for an Aaron Rodgers of 10 years ago.
And thank you guy for calling from Jacksonville. I think the New York Jets looked at the quarterback position and said, dammit, Aaron Rodgers cannot be worse than Zach Wilson. And granted Zach Wilson is not playing football right now. And do I think we're going to see Aaron Rodgers continue to run around and throw three interceptions a game? Uh, no, I do not. He obviously isn't a quarterback that he was four and five years ago, but I do still think he's a serviceable starting quarterback in this league. Do I think he can take the jets to the playoffs?
Yes, I do. The story isn't done. Okay. The New York Jets. I don't think they're going to tank completely into the toilet and I'm still going to give them, I'm going to give them a chance to make the post season. Now am I putting them in a super bowl? Uh, no, I'm not.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if that were the case. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Paul is here from Rhode Island. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up Paul?
Thank you JR. Listen, you know, the NFL, the business is shambled right now. And my original call was why, why would you fire this guy? You're still, you're not done.
You're not done. Why would you fire this guy comparing to your division is that and compare it to all divisions. Now I know Woody Johnson very well. I know he wants to fabricate the national media. Listen, the national media is a lot stronger in New York than it is in Boston.
And my Patriots are not doing very well right now. Hold on, Paul. You know, you know, national media doesn't mean what you just described is, is local media. When you talk about national media, it's like me, I broadcast to everywhere. So this is national.
You mean local. Go ahead. Go ahead. Listen, I want to tell you right now, Boston media is not, not easy at all. I like my Jacoby, but you know what? Here we go.
We're going to play a kid that had half of the season and North Carolina. Well, Paul, I'll do the describing of Drake May. Thank you for calling from Rhode Island. Anyway, Hickey, did you, did you understand that?
Did you learn something today? The difference between local and national? Uh, I thought I knew until Paul tried to describe it there. He said the national media in New York and the national media in, in Boston.
Yes, yes. And apparently the New York one is more powerful and stronger. The New York national media. He also knows Woody Johnson very well.
I'd love to know how and what that relationship means. He has lots of stock in Johnson and Johnson. I mean, he's at the shareholder meetings.
He probably is. You think he'd get a word in? Oh, I think he may get all the words in. He might get all the words in. Let me tell you.
Yeah. So, so what, one thing that he, uh, the gentleman here, Paul from Rhode Island alluded to, he didn't say that the gentleman's name, he just said, Hey, you got a kid from, uh, you know, North County. The guy's name is Drake May and the New England, this is why I do this for 11. My apologies, Paul, let me do it. The New England Patriots told Jacoby, we don't want you to start anymore.
Your time is up. It's time to put Drake May out there behind this awful offensive line. So you can get the hits or maybe you take less hits because you're more mobile. Jacoby per set has been hit 17 times. Let me, let me correct that. He's been sacked 17 times so far this season for the New England Patriots. They just lost to the dolphins. Come on now.
15 to 10. They can't generate any offense. We heard last week from the New England Patriots internal website, one of their own reporters who works for the Patriots said that they were on a verge of a mutiny. And all of a sudden the Patriots wiped that away. All of a sudden their, their, their new head coach, Gerard Mayo, he's not getting fired.
Believe that he says, I don't know what you're talking about. Well, it took one more loss to the dolphins without Tua Tonga Veloa. It took a loss at the hands of Tyler Huntley to say, all right, we putting Drake May out there against the Texans. Now what he looks like and how he inspires or whether or not he has his head on his shoulders at the end of the game, that's something to see.
I mean, maybe he inspires them. I still got the Texans winning. Come on now.
Every now and then you get a jolt. I don't know if they have enough of a jolt to be favored over the Texans. Gerard Mayo just yesterday, he was asked if he still believes Jacoby Percette gives the Pats the best chance to win.
This is what he said on WEEI. It's a local station in Boston, not national. Look, we haven't had our full staff meeting today. Um, that's a conversation not only at that spot, but all the spots, you know, how we get better as a football team. We're not playing well. It's not a secret. Um, and being the head coach of this team, like I have to accept all the responsibility for that. Yeah.
Well, they made a change today. You want to know who really believes in Drake May. You don't know who feels positive about Drake May and what he could bring to the table. The man who will be opposing him as the starting quarterback this upcoming Sunday against the Texans. It's their starting quarterback, CJ Stroud, who had arguably, not arguably, he did have one of the best rookie seasons for a quarterback that you have ever seen in your life. It might be the best rookie season you've ever gotten from a quarterback. And so this is high praise right before the draft. And we see what Jayden Daniels has done. He's been the best rookie quarterback this year. CJ Stroud earlier at the draft 2024, back in April, he told everybody Drake May, he's the quarterback that's ready to play today.
Listen to this. I feel like Drake May is, um, you watch his tape, um, just his arm talent jumps off. I mean, he's one guy that, like to me, like the one mistake that I did early on and like his first couple of games was I moved around too much, but I didn't get the ball out on time. Um, I started taking, um, risks that I weren't even downfield or necessarily, uh, scrambling. And when you watch his tape, he scrambles when he needs to, he throws guys open.
Um, he has, he has like right here, he has rollout ability, like different arm angles. Um, so I feel like when you watch Drake May. All right.
Okay. Well, it sounds like you described Jayden Daniels to me. Hic, you sure CJ Stroud didn't make a mental mistake? I mean, the highlights in the video were up as he was talking about him. So I'm assuming he saw the highlights. I mean, you are right.
It does sound a lot like Jayden Daniels, what we've seen so far, but maybe CJ Stroud see something different that we don't. Yeah. You think, you think he's going to win that game first game against the Texans? Uh, I do not.
Um, I would, to your point before, I would say considering it a win would just be leaving the field in one piece. Oh wow. Okay. Remember what Caleb Williams went through, uh, on Sunday night at Fubuccio and Houston. Oh my God.
Oh, that was rough. And this is a lot worse offensive line. This is going to be a welcome to the NFL. Do you remember Eli Manning's first game?
I do not. Oh my God. Eli Manning's first game where they threw him out there was against the Baltimore Ravens. He was destroyed, murdered in that first game. He was on the back page of the New York daily news and the New York post.
I could probably Google their headlines. He was a pinata. They showed this guy getting stretched backwards and beat to a pulp. That might be Drake May. He plays in new England.
I don't know. Maybe they're going to throw him on the back of the Boston Herald. I don't know, but I hope he's not beaten to a pulp and that's likely his destiny. I wouldn't be shocked to be honest, if we saw Jacoby Brissette again at some point this season and not because Drake May stinks, but because their entire team and their offensive line sucks. It doesn't matter who's back there at quarterback. You can put Lamar Jackson back there.
This man would be running for his life just like every body else. It stinks and good luck to new England. Hopefully Drake May works out if you can stay healthy. It's the JR sport re-show here with you on the infinity sports network. 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, I told you the Patriots, their offense, it stinks. The offensive line, it stinks. The New York Jets, their locker room, it stinks. I'm going to tell you about a six foot seven baseball player. This guy stinks in the post-season. Where are those home runs at? This guy's a Yankee. I'll tell you about him on the other side. It's the JR sport re-show here with you on the infinity sports network.
You're listening to the JR sport brief. And I love Parolin in Texas. I love it. Shout out to my folks in Parolin. Shout out to my folks in Houston.
Everywhere. I love Texas. Hickey, you like Texas?
You love it? Love Texas. Everything is big in Texas.
They love Texas. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Speaking of big, this six foot seven baseball player. Ain't that too big? I don't know.
I guess not. Aaron Judge proved it's not too big, but we'll talk about him in a minute. 855-212-4227. Sam is here from Michigan. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up, Sam? Hey, JR. How you doing, man? I feel amazing. How do you don't feel?
You don't sound amazing. You OK? Oh, I'm great, man. I'm great. I'm tired.
Just got had a long day, but I'm great, man. I just wanted to say I love your show. I'm a new listener. You're funny. You're like the comedian of sports radio, man. Oh, are you calling me a joke? Think I'm funny? Dude, you're hilarious.
And I'm saying this in a complimentary way. Oh, I thought you were calling me a joke like I had. Oh, I got paint on my face. You know, like I'm Jack Nicholson. And who's the one who plays the Joker right now? Right. Do you know Robert Pattinson or something? No, Robert Pattinson. Oh, the Joker.
Yeah. Joaquin. Joaquin. They stuck him with Lady Gaga. I heard that movie sucks. Oh, man. My son said he said he walked out.
Oh, my God. He did, because they turned a joke. They turned a joke into a musical. Come on, musical.
Come on. Nobody want to see people. People want to see the Joker being a sick freak.
They don't want to see him singing around with Lady Gaga about how nutty he is. Terrible. No, no. Worse than the Jets. But let's talk about something positive. How you feeling?
I'm good, man. I just want to shout out my Tigers and my Lions, man. Like we are. It's exciting here in Michigan, man. It's exciting.
So I wanted to see what you thought. Who's going to go farther? Tigers or the Lions? OK, so I think it's going to be the Lions.
And the reason why I say the Lions is we saw what they did last year, getting a step away from the Super Bowl and then the head coach being a little too aggressive. Nothing wrong with that sometimes. And the reason I'm not picking the Tigers is who the hell do y'all have pitching after Scoble? Yeah, man.
Like y'all are putting, y'all are putting bullpen games together for every game that he doesn't pitch? Yeah, I know. I know.
You sent Flaherty out of town and now you got nobody else. Come on. You're right. You're right, man. I'm just saying.
But is this the first time in your life that you've ever been happy for both the Lions and the Tigers at the same time? Absolutely. Wow. I'm 54 years old, man. Wow.
Yes. It's been rough, man. It's rough. It's rough.
That's why we're excited, man. But hey, it was great to talk to you, man. Sure. I'll call in again. Well, Sam, you call me any time, OK?
We're going to clip the nice thing you said and we're going to play it to make fun of me, OK? I'll do that. We know we are. We will. I appreciate you, man. All right.
I'm serious when I say you're funny, man. Oh, thank you. I appreciate you, man. You take it easy.
Get some rest. You too. No doubt.
Sam from Michigan. Hickey, I heard that movie sucked. I heard it sucked.
Yeah, I will. I've not seen a lot of Joker movies, to be honest with you. I'm not going to race to the theater to see this one.
No, don't. The first one was good. The original whatever the hell that was good.
That was a good movie. I'm happy. I'm happy.
I didn't go see this last week. Happy. Sing song and ask how to screw this up so bad. They said, oh, we got Lady Gaga. So we got to sing now. Come on. That's what they did.
Come on. So we got we got Lady Gaga. We got to make her do something. So she's going to sing with the Joker for like, I don't know, two hours. Well, the next remake of Joker be like he's a comedian and have like Will Ferrell be the Joker.
You're trying to get rid of the Joaquin already. Well, I'm just saying how many remakes have they done? They're doing a musical now. So why not just make the next one a comedy?
No, they haven't done. This is the first time Joker got like a movie origin story. First time. It's just the first one was great. And the one that came out on Friday or Thursday last week is garbage. It's terrible.
Stinks. I don't think they're going to make another one after this, but I hope not with the reviews so far. And we don't need another joke. Like if they put Will Ferrell as a joke, that's too much. That's too goofy.
That's way too. The Joker has never been goofy. He's been a sick, twisted freak. Look at Jack Nicholson's face. Does that look like a funny guy to you? No, no, no, no, no, no. Not at all.
That's a tough guy face right there. Sick freak. Yeah. Yes.
Anyway, I don't know. I haven't seen him at a Lakers game in forever. I hope he's well.
I know he's getting old. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. It's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Jay is calling from North Carolina. You're on the J.R. sport.
We show a subject. Hey, what's up, brother? Hey, how are you? I was I'm good. I was listening to the show. I appreciate it. And I don't want to I certainly don't want to keep this a hater segment.
But you schooled our guy over there on the national versus local media. And in the in the last half hour, I've heard you stick up for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets. And I think we're about to have an Aaron Judge conversation. If I if I heard your description right.
It sounds like we might be have a local New York show going on. Oh, my. Hold on a second. Can you hold on for a second, Jay? Yes. All right. Thank you. Hold on one second.
A New York hickey. Where's the show emanating from? You, sir, are live from Atlanta. And I think we talked about the Saints. I think I said I'm going to talk about the Patriots.
I think we're going to get into Davante Adams. I think that'd be Vegas. We're talking about the Major League Baseball playoffs. I can't help it that there are two teams in New York right now. We're going to get into Russell Wilson. That appears to be Pittsburgh.
We're going to talk about the Padres and the Dodgers. I think I mentioned all of that at the beginning of the show. Jay, does that kind of help you out anyway? I love it. Thank you for the retort. But it all sounded in a New York accent. Oh, OK. Well, I happen to be from New York in Atlanta, and I don't know where the New York bias comes from.
I'm just messing with you. Love the show, man. Take care. Thank you so much, Jay, from North Carolina. Next time, I'll talk about your teams in North Carolina. Hickey, are there any good teams out there right now? No, sirree.
Oh, there won't be any North Carolina bias. Greg is calling from Michigan. You're on the JR Sport Reshow. What's up, Greg?
JR, Mr. Positive. Thanks for taking my call real quick. Go Tigers. We're going all the way, buddy. We're going all the way. I know. I know. Should I be concerned about my Josh Elvis Allen and the Bills?
No, they're going to be a good enough team to go to the playoffs, and we'll see what happens from there. That's it. Very good. Hey, and real quick, love you and your post on Facebook about Aaron Rodgers. You are so spot on. It wasn't even funny. Everybody go to Facebook.
Find JR Sports Brief. It's fantastic. I think I told Jay Sizzle Bizzle or R Sizzle Bizzle that Aaron Rodgers is the antithesis of chemistry. You're right.
It's the Aaron Rodgers team. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Help me out here.
I want to learn something, and so does everybody across North America. Got it, buddy. What's the opposite of chemistry? What's the opposite? He's the antithesis of chemistry, and that is the chaos and disorganization. Ah, okay. All right. Because I was going to say, I didn't like chemistry in school, but I think I would have liked chaos.
I don't think I would have liked that. You got it, buddy. Hey, everybody go for your dreams. Thanks, JR. Love you. Yeah, I love you too.
Thank you, Greg, for calling from Michigan. Hickey, I did not expect an answer on that one. That was good.
Same. I didn't know where he's going to go with that. What's the antithesis?
What's the opposite of chemistry? I didn't know what the answer was, and he had one. He was like, is it chaos? I guess, yeah, yeah, I guess it would be. Yeah, I think it makes, it could work.
It could work. No, what's the real definition of chemistry? You put one thing together and something else happens, right, chemistry? Two things mixed together well? Yeah, I know. I haven't done chemistry, and I don't even know how many. It's a long time.
The branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change, and the use of these processes to perform or to form new substances, chemistry. Okay, you learn something new every day. It's the JR Sportbree show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk about more quarterbacks like the Saints quarterback. I'm going to get some more of your calls, and then we're going to get into the Steelers quarterback, who it might be Russell Wilson. Don't move.
