It is! The JR Sportbrief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia.
Super producer and host Ryan Hickey is live in New York City. Happy Tuesday to you. Thank you for listening to the show. I appreciate you because if you're not here, there is no show.
Much love to you. The show gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. You can listen live on the free Odyssey app. You can listen live on your local Infinity Sports Network radio affiliate. If you got Sirius XM, it's channel 158.
And if you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. I'm going to be here for two more hours. This is what we call halftime. And two hours down, two more to go. I'm coming out hot third quarter, okay?
Anyway, we've discussed a lot. Rob Salah being fired as head coach of the New York Jets. We just talked about the Kansas City Chiefs.
And how about this? Man, the optimism there for the Kansas City Chiefs when it comes down to Rashee Rice? Not as optimistic.
So it's good news. It's not an ACL tear. He has an LCL tear. He had surgery. He's still likely out for the season, okay?
So things have changed. He's likely out for the season. Doesn't appear that Rashee Rice is going to come back. Kansas City Chiefs will still get a wide receiver, okay?
Come on. It may not be Devontae Adams. The Raiders are dumb, but they're not that dumb.
I don't think they are. And we'll see. We talked about Derek Carr. He's out. He's out for a few weeks. Messed up his oblique. Hickey, did he really?
Did I understand correctly? He really hurt himself throwing the football. Nobody hit him? That's what he's saying as he was dropping back and kind of through and twisted in a way that that's what hurt him not to hit. That drove him to the ground. That's yoga, man. See, that's his fault. That's his fault. Simple.
I learned from you today. Yoga cures all. That's it. Yoga.
That's the answer. Movement? I mean, an oblique. You pull an oblique if it's, you know, if it's tight. And I'm not no physiotherapist or, you know, I'm none of that stuff. But you pull an oblique if it's tight. You know, it's overuse. So either he's working just as hard as Christian McCaffrey and throwing the football or he's not loose. Get loose. So that they have the finest massage.
Hickey, he can get a massage every day if he wanted to. I would hope he does, honestly, with how physical football is. For free. For free. That's right. Not bad. Not a bad gig. Why not take advantage of this, right?
Should be everything right. Do everything you can. Shame on him. Anyway, good luck to the Saints.
Good luck. I feel bad for them. They started 2-0. They lose three straight. They're going to keep on losing people.
Come on now. I love New Orleans. Love the Saints. Derek Carr's OK. I think I feel the same way people in New Orleans feel about him. He's going to be gone a while.
How about this guy? He's coming back. He's coming back. Russell Wilson is returning to practice tomorrow. What's tomorrow? October 9th.
About four or five weeks too late. Pittsburgh Steelers started off hot. Now they're 3-2. They just lost to the Dallas Cowboys, 20-17. The offense has never been hot, but now it's starting to look worse. Fields is fumbling the ball.
Thank God for him. All these fumbles aren't ending up with the other team. And so everybody's looking for a little bit of a jolt right now. I mean, the Pittsburgh Steelers fans have already entered into the space of, oh my God, we have to fire Mike Tomlin. Oh my God, the New York Jets got rid of Rob Salah, but why do we have Mike Tomlin?
What's wrong? Who do you want to replace Mike Tomlin? What's worse here? Mike Tomlin or the quarterback? Come on. Mike Tomlin had to bring in two rejects.
Let's be real. Justin Fields is a reject from the Chicago Bears. He is. It's not all his fault, but he's a reject. Russell Wilson is a multiple-time reject at this point. Pete Carroll didn't want him. He didn't want Pete Carroll.
And sure as hell, neither did the Denver Broncos. He's a two-time reject. And so because the offense stinks and they can't drive the ball down the field, and George Pickens is the most reliable pass-catching option, and Najee Harris, he's a good running back, but he's not one of the best. He's just good. He's okay. We got to blame Mike Tomlin for this? Stop it. It's not Rob Salah here.
Stop. So Russell Wilson is returning to practice tomorrow. He's going to participate as the number two quarterback.
And let's be real. He is being warmed up to start. As we continue on here in the season, the Pittsburgh Steelers, they owe it to Russell Wilson to see what he can go out there and do. Like, why would you go through this season, especially if things are not going all that great for Justin Fields? Why would you tell Russell Wilson, just, just, just have a seat. We never want to see. What a waste. See if Russell Wilson still has some juice left.
Might as well. It's still early enough in the season. The Steelers are going to take on the Raiders on Sunday.
They'll be in Las Vegas. The Raiders are a disaster all by themselves. Christian Wilkins is now hurt. He needed surgery and Max Crosby's been dealing with an injury. He came back and had two sacks on Sunday. And they don't know whether or not they want Aiden O'Connell to start or whether they want Gardner Minshew. That's a disaster of epic proportions.
The Raiders, not quite the Jets almost, but they're, they're pretty bad. Having said that, Mike Tomlin, he let the world know that Russell Wilson is going to be ready to go and practice tomorrow. Listen to this. Tomorrow will be the first Wednesday that he'll be a scheduled full participant. We'll see where that leads us. First, we'll see if he's able to obviously pull it off and, and get through the, through the session. And if he does, what does the quality of that work look like?
His ability to protect himself, et cetera. Some of the conversations that we've been having, but just been having more in a hypothetical way. He's at the point of health now where we can work on a Wednesday without restrictions. And so we'll do so. He'll get reps with the second unit as to not disrupt Justin's preparation. And then we'll see where all of that leads us as we push through the week. Hickey, uh, he gets a start. No, well he gets in the New York Jets light up Justin Fields and then Russell Wilson takes over, right?
That sounds about right. He won't play this week, give him a week or two, kind of get settled back in. You know, he's not really practiced at all.
So knock some of the rust off. What are you going to week six right now? I would say by week nine, the latest. Okay. He'll take over. He'll take over.
Also keep in mind. So the Steelers next bunch of games. They got Las Vegas on Sunday, which I just told you about. They have the New York Jets at home. They have the New York Giants at home and then they have their buys.
So they're not playing that first week in November. Now I don't know, over the next three games, something has to give. Something has to give. We got to see when Russell Wilson gets his chance. Is it coming via injury?
Is it coming via poor performance? It's not out of the range. If Max Crosby starts eating fields alive, will we not see Russell Wilson in relief? I don't know. We'll find out as sooner than later. The eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. And speaking of the Raiders, now that Rob Salah has been fired, now that the New York Jets offense looks pathetic, even with Aaron Rodgers, we all know about Devontae Adams and that situation. He probably wants to go to the Jets.
We'll probably throw the Saints out the window now that Derek Carr is hurt. What the hell is the latest? When is Devontae Adams going to be traded? When is he going to get moved? Jake Lazer, he gave an update yesterday on Dan Leboutard about where the hell he thinks Devontae is going to end up. Listen to this. Last Sunday, everything's fine before the game, during the game, after the game. Great. He comes in Monday morning, calls up a Tex Antonio Pierce like, hey, I need to meet with you.
And AP thought it was about the hamstring. And all of a sudden he's like, hey, I'm out. You got to get me out. I don't want my career ending like this.
I've gone out. Look, you know, the Jets are in, the Saints, they're in, they're, you know, Steelers play them next week. So maybe they'll look at it also. The Ravens, though, the Ravens love their team chemistry. I don't see the Ravens making this move. And it's also it's there's not a lot of teams who have the cap space to just bring them in as it is like if the Saints want to do it, they're going to have to like redo his deal or have the Raiders take on some of the money, which they don't want to do. So they'd have to like redo them to an extension where a team like the Jets don't have to do it.
So there's a lot of factors involved. Yeah. So the countdown is on for the New York Mets to just go ahead and bring this guy on. Hickey, did I say the Mets or the Jets? It sounded like the Mets. Well, maybe it's because the Mets just won.
Davante Adams isn't going to the Mets. Congratulations to the Mets. The Mets just beat the Phillies seven to two. The Mets now have a two one series lead against these World Series favorite Phillies. They play again tomorrow.
The New York Mets have a chance and an opportunity to go up. Three one now. Now, Hickey, my understanding is you're going to the game, right?
Your understanding would be correct, sir. Are you going to wear something special? Are you superstitious? How are you? How are you Hickey fan number?
I don't know. One million five thousand hundred, whatever, whatever. How are you going to help influence the game inside that building? I'll be wearing my Francisco and George jersey and I will bring a lot of energy. I'll be all the way up in the stands and probably need some binoculars here. But that place better be a zoo tomorrow. And I'm going to do my best to make it like that as hostile as possible.
A Francisco Lindor and a lot of energy. That's nothing. What? What do you mean? That's nothing.
That's not. You would go out there and play. I'll play. You want to pinch run? I can't. Listen, I'll have a lot of energy.
I can't steal second, third and home if you want me to. What are you going to do? Have coffee before you go? That and a few few beverages. Yeah, sure. Oh, a few. Okay.
That's a lot of energy. Have one for me, please. You got it.
Thank you very much. Have as many as I would have by myself and then have whatever you have. Have a combination.
If you were in my spot here, what would you do that I'm apparently not doing well enough? To support the team? Yeah. You want to bring a baseball and throw it at somebody? No, we're not.
We're not a Dodger fans. No. Okay.
No, we wouldn't do that. I don't know. Not a lot of options. I'm trying to throw in stuff. Tell the opposition they suck.
Like I've been too far for that. But you don't want to yell at Bryce Harper that you suck because he hit a home run, right? He probably would.
Knowing my luck, yeah. Bryce, you suck. You're going to go 0-4 tonight and he'll go like 3-5 with like three home runs. He hit a home run and then he look at you when he rounds the bases. That'd be good. Thank you for firing me up. Oh, boy. That'd be a great story to tell. We've seen him do that in the past.
Good luck. Pete Alonso hit a two run. What is it? Two run bomb he hit earlier? A solo home run. A solo home run. Got them going. Get the scoring going.
Open up the floodgates as they say. Yeah, 7-2. Yeah, Pete Alonso solo home run.
Oh, your winker. Yeah, he hit that home run. That made it 2-0. Yeah, good for the New York Mets. Yeah, Hickey, if they win, man, I'll be happy for you. What else can I say?
That's it. JR, I appreciate that. Your happiness makes me feel better. And I did see, I'm happy to say, when the game concluded, Mr. Met was there. No grimace. Oh, wow. Did you see the videos of the subway in New York City going to the game today?
What a grimace. He got on the 7 train. He took the train.
He took the train to the game. McDonald's is milk. You know what I thought about today?
Because my brain is a little different. How does Shake Shack feel about all this? Do they still got that Shake Shack in Centerfield?
Oh, they do. If I'm Shake Shack and I got no mascot and I'm paying all this money to have a restaurant in Centerfield and all of a sudden a stupid purple freak from McDonald's is getting all this marketing and publicity and McDonald's this and grimace that and this and if I'm Shake Shack, ain't I mad? Am I not mad?
Can you be mad though because you were, if you want to say, dumb enough to not have something similar of your own? It's Shake Shack. They ain't got no mascot. It's the pigeons and pigeons, right? I don't know. On the outdoor scene. That's all you got.
You got nothing. Maybe they should have a big old pigeon and put them in a shake. They wear aprons, don't they? I believe so. Yes. Well, once you get a giant shake.
No, no. A giant pigeon and put it in an apron. That too. I mean, grimace is stupid, so that could work as well.
Yeah. What is grimace? What is he? A blob? I couldn't tell. Honestly, any other description, I have no idea.
Outside of a purple blob. Is it he, she? I don't know. He has a family.
That much I know. They used to be different in the back in the day. Back in the day, there were multiple colors of grimace. Like he had a like a yellow wife and it was just weird. It was real weird.
Used to see it on the box and he, his family lived in like the forest in a house or something like that. Yeah. Makes you wonder.
Ask questions. Why isn't the family basking in this, in this run here? It's been long enough. Hickey, I got a, got some news for you.
Ready? Uh oh. They're all imaginary. Can't be. I saw grimace.
Can't be. I saw grimace. He's real.
You saw him, but they decided to financially bring him the light. But the rest of the family, figment of some freaks imagination from the eighties. Okay.
That is true. Who thought of that? Makes you wonder. Look, there's a lot of things. There's Fraggle Rock. There's a lot of weird, who thinks, who thinks of anything?
Fraggle Rock, the Flintstone, Hanna-Barbera. There's a lot of things. A lot of weird stuff. Green eggs and ham. Who thinks they're writing a book about green eggs and ham? Dr. Seuss was, he was a doctor of what? I don't want to know. Rhymes? The doctor of rhymes? Listen, man, with that stuff, that guy was writing, that was, uh, he's a weirdo too.
We weirdos. Anyway, it's the JR sport brief show here with you on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, congratulations to the New York Mets, a two, one series lead against the Phillies now, but we're gonna, we're gonna go to New York because New York had the big news today. Firing Rob Salah, the New York jets telling him, take a hike. We're going to have a chat with Ryan Dunleavy from the New York post.
We're going to get into the Dodgers and the Padres. We're going to hear about, or hear from Peter Lonzo and New York. We got a lot to do, but Ryan Dunleavy from the New York post joining us on the other side. 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. The New York jets decided to put some spice into the NFL season, letting everybody know right out of the gate.
It's still a circus right now to talk about that circus is someone who covers the jets, covers sports, covers NFL, covers football for the New York post. We're being joined by Ryan Dunleavy. Ryan, how are you, man? Good. What's up?
Thank you for taking the time to join us. So how much of a shock or were you shocked that the New York jets decided to pull the plug on Rob Salah when they did? Yeah, I was. I was very shocked. And, you know, it's kind of my job not to be shocked, but I think there's usually more rumblings.
There's usually more signs that a guy is on the hot seat. We knew it was getting close. I thought it was still probably a couple of weeks away. I mean, they're playing for first place on Monday night. They looked really good a couple of weeks ago against the pages. They've had two awful, hideous offensive games.
And that's kind of where I thought this was going to go. Like if you, if I woke up this morning, you said, Hey, Ryan, somebody's going to get fired with the jets. I'd say, okay, Nathaniel Hackett got canned and Robert Sala. That's his last desperation, blame worthy move. He's probably got two weeks. So to see Sala get fired and Hackett still have a job and Joe Douglas, the GM still have a job.
It's very surprising to me. Well, Ryan, we heard the owner of the New York jets, Woody Johnson say that this was his decision that yes, he spoke to Joe Douglas, but this was his decision. How much input realistically do you think Aaron Rogers had in this?
Look, it's hard to believe that he had very little. I believe it's what he Johnson's call at the end of the day. But I mean, if you see how the jets have been operated in for the last two years, and look, let me say that's actually, everybody's going to say, Oh, they had that weird, awkward hug push.
And they were paid in state a couple of weeks ago. I don't think those things did it, but that's not what makes me think Aaron Rogers had some, uh, some pull in this. It's just the way that everything in this opera in this operation runs through Aaron Rogers. You want to trade for Devante Adams, then that's what we'll do. You want to trade, you want to sign Allen Lazard. You want to find Randall Cobb. You want to find Billy Taylor. You want to hire Nathaniel Hackett.
That's what we'll do. So everything runs through him. Do I think he, you know, uh, Godfather movie, uh, Robert Sala. No, I don't necessarily think that, but I don't think he would have stopped it if they said, Hey, this is what we're thinking about. I think he would have said, okay.
So, uh, that's kind of what I think. I don't think, I don't think Aaron Rogers took him out, but I don't think Aaron Rogers did him any favorites either. Cause look, Aaron Rogers hasn't gotten along with Mike McCarthy late in his career. He hasn't gotten along with LaFlore late in his career.
He's not exactly the most easy guy to coach. Ryan Dunleavy is joining us covers all things NFL for the New York post. What do you expect for the New York jets moving forward? Jeff Albrecht is a new dude. Uh, Davante Adams is still on the table. How do you think the next week or so is going to look for the jets?
I mean, tell me who's calling the offensive plays. Cause like Jeff over, it's going to bring a new energy to the jets, right? But Robert Sala's thing is energy, right? I don't think he was, uh, got, I don't think they need a new energy. I don't think technically I guess teams usually get a boost for a couple of weeks when they make a change. Cause all of a sudden guys can't, can't slack on things.
Right. And you realize you're, Oh, he got fired. I could be next. I got to pray for my job. I got to impress my new coach.
But like all that stuff is real. There's history to it. But like if the, if Nathaniel hack is still calling an offense from the stone ages, then like, I don't know how they're not going to score any more points. I don't know how they're going to win more games. So like to me, I would, the first thing I would do if I was over is I'd change the offensive coordinator. I would make Todd Downing and this is by no means caught down and he isn't exactly Ben Johnson, the lion's offensive coordinator, but he has play calling experience. He did it for Del Rio with the Raiders. He did it for Ray ball with the tightening. So he's done it before.
I would probably do that and hope that I could get some more offense. And if I can get more often, look, I'm the fool who picked the jets to be the AFC representative in the Super Bowl started. And so they've disappointed me. Woody Johnson's right about one thing. It's an incredibly talented roster. Well, what are your thoughts on them picking up Devontae Adams?
Is that still a formality? We heard about the Saints as a possibility. We see that Derek Carr is now going to be out for weeks. So is Devontae Adams just on a fast track to the Jets? I think it definitely throws a wrench into that plan.
Uh, for sure. Uh, I would guess it's still we're done. I don't have insight into this, but I would guess it's still where Devontae Adams wants to go. Uh, especially like you said, Derek Carr is injured now, so I don't know that he wants to go to New Orleans. If it was really between those two, I would guess Aaron Rogers still wants the Vonte Adams. Uh, is Devontae Adams is going to want to go to a place that is, uh, coaching, uh, up in the air like this. Probably he would still do it because he's still going to play with Aaron Rogers.
And again, he's another guy who played in Green Bay with Hackett. So he probably knows, uh, what he's probably close to Hackett, like Lazard and Rogers are, uh, the question is really, is Woody Johnson going to do it? Is he going to allow Joe Douglas who let's face it, he's got to be on the hot seat now too.
I mean, it is, I mean, if it wasn't, you know, play off the bus for Joe Douglas, it certainly is now, right? What's he going to hire the next coach? I mean, he's already hired Adam Gase and Robert Sala. So, um, I would say, yeah, is he going to allow Joe Douglas to make this trade? If he does and dip into future resources that might hurt Joe Douglas's replacement, that's a tricky spot. And is what are you going to trade for him? If Devontae Adams wants a new contract, look, he hasn't opened up his wallet for Hassan Reddick.
Who's still holding out. If Devontae says I want a new contract is what are you going to open the wallet and rearrange his contract? Because Aaron Rogers wants them. Ryan Dunleavy is joining us from the New York Post. What do you expect the rest of the season to look like for the Jets? You said earlier on preseason, you expected them to win the AFC. What are your expectations for this team as it stands right now? I think they'll probably end up scrambling it together and being in the wild card hunt at the end of the season. Like I picked them to win the AFC East. I'll be surprised if they do that at this point with what they've looked like.
I guess Devontae at trading for Devontae Adams could give them the boost over the top. But we're asking me right now, what do I think the Jets are? I think the Jets are probably like a nine and 18. And right now they're two and three. So is it crazy to think they go from one game under to one game over 500? No, I don't think so.
I think they're probably about a nine and 18. And whether that gets you seventh in the AFC or ninth in the AFC, that'll depend on how things shake out around the league. But I certainly don't look at them as a Super Bowl contender anymore.
There's just too many problems I didn't foresee. I thought the talent would overcome and it has not overcome. So the New York Jets, they go to the playoffs as a wild card. They win or they lose, they're eliminated, they don't win a championship. Are the New York Jets now in hostage mode? Are they being held hostage by Aaron Rodgers? I mean, it feels that way, right? I mean, it feels that way. But I don't even know that that's a bad thing, right? Like this is what they did. They sold their future to him two years ago, right? So like, people are like, oh, if you were having me on yesterday, we wouldn't be talking about Robert Sol.
We'd be talking about the Vontay Adams. That's a big story around the chest. So people have been like, should they do it? I'm like, yeah, they should do it. Cause this is it.
This is their window. Like as soon as they traded for Aaron Rodgers, it was like everything else had to be for right now. So like, yeah, I think they probably are being held hostage by Aaron Rodgers.
But like that, that's good. You don't want to have Aaron Rodgers and then like think long term, like that doesn't make any sense. You don't have Aaron Rodgers and then like, okay, well we're gonna build through the draft.
No, you're going for it. So yeah, I mean, they're being held hostage, not necessarily by Aaron Rodgers. They're being held hostage by a two year window for their starting quarterback. Well, if things don't work and he decides to go, does this team not sink further into the toilet? I mean, is Joe Douglas around? Aaron Rodgers is gone. Salah is gone.
Doesn't everybody, the house gets cleaned completely, no? Oh yeah. I mean, if that's what we're talking about, if we're talking about that far down the line, yeah. If we're talking about Aaron Rodgers isn't here, then they're going to, they're going to start completely from scratch.
Uh, but they're all playing now for the jobs. It'll be a, um, a total sense of clean slate, urgency, panic, and we'll see what, uh, what they do against the bills. I mean, that's, we always say winning is the great elixir that Robert Salah didn't do enough winning. If they come out and beat the bills, everybody's just say, oh, they made the right move at the perfect time. Look, they just beat the bills. It was the perfect, uh, the perfect motivational tactic. So that doesn't mean they wouldn't have beat the bill if Robert Salah was here. It's just they, Woody Johnson was looking to kick it, kick his team in the butt.
And that's, that's what he, how he chose to do it. Well, Ryan, let me, let me ask you this final question. It, regardless of whether Aaron Rogers plays another four months, whether he plays another year and four months, do you think that the New York jets are going to win a super bowl? Like ever or this year? No, no, but this next four months or a year and four months over the next two seasons, do you see them winning a super bowl?
No, no, definitely not. And I just, yeah, no winning a super bowl. No, like they could get in the playoffs, which for this franchise is an accomplishment.
Let's not forget. They have the longest playoff list drought in North American sports. I think the, them are the Buffalo savers. And, uh, so no, I mean, no, they're not a super bowl contender.
I thought so I'll eat it. They were, I thought they had enough talent and you see brief hall struggling. You see the offensive line is much worse than it was. And that falls not on Robert Salo. That was Joe Douglas is off season priority.
And it looked like he did not do a good job building an offensive line. So no, they're, they could sneak into the playoffs this year. They could sneak into a playoff two years in a row. I don't see this as a super bowl team.
Unless Jeff Albrecht is a schematic and motivational wizard that we, you know, more than just an interim head coach, unless they catch lightning in a bottle. Yeah. Wow. Jet fans better pray for that. Hey Ryan, where can people follow you and all your work with the New York Post?
Uh, yeah. Uh, nypost.com has all our guest coverage. My colleagues, Brian Costello, Mike Picaro, Steve Serby, Mark Anazaro, all guys you should know if you follow this team, uh, tons of jet coverage on this and every single day out of practice.
And me, I'm on Twitter or X or whatever we call it now at Ry Dunleavy, R Y Dunleavy. Hey, thank you so much, Ryan. Enjoy the circus, the New York Jets. I feel like we're only on maybe the second or third act of the season.
We'll see what else they do. Thanks for having me. Thank you, Ryan.
Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post. It's the JR Sportbree show here with you on the infinity sports network. The phone line's open if you want to give me a holler. That's 855-212-4227.
That's 855-212-4227. We're going to take a break. And you know what? The New York Jets, they aren't the only disaster right now in the NFL. We got a couple of other organizations who are operating as a clown show, but the New York Jets right now, today, this minute, this second, they probably have to take the cake. We're going to talk about some other teams that are kind of out there. We, we gave you a dysfunctional list.
You know, more recently a top six. Well, I'm just going to tell you a few other NFL teams that are, they're glad the New York Jets have taken away some of the attention. We're going to talk about the New York Mets and we got the Dodgers and the Padres that are getting ready to go at it.
We have more to discuss. You're listening to the JR Sportbree. It's the JR Sportbree show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. Thank you so much to Ryan Dunleavy for joining us from the New York post, taking a look at what the hell is going on with those New York Jets. We're going to get into the West coast. We're going to talk about the Dodgers and the Padres in a bit. You heard it from Marco Belletti, the New York Mets, they just beat the Phillies. The final score there, seven to two. The New York Mets take a two one series lead. Sean Minai gets his first postseason victory.
The man goes out there, pitches seven strong, strikes out six. In the fields, they are, they're one game away from elimination. That's tomorrow. Hickey, if they lose tomorrow, it's your fault.
What's my fault? Yeah, like if you go, you're bad luck. No, I'm just saying if you go tomorrow and they win, you're good luck. If they lose, you're bad luck. So this is going to be more than just one game. This is now my legacy in a way on the line.
Oh boy. Well, let's see if the New York Mets can go to their first NLCS since 2015 when they did advance to the world series and lost to those Kansas city Royals. Who knows what they're going to get a little bit of a rematch from 2015 in the world series.
We'll see. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Hey, we got, we got a, we got a kid from Minnesota. Jared, you're on the JR Sport.
Show us up, Jared. Hello. Hello. How are you? Good. How about you? I'm excellent. How was your, did you go to school today? Yeah.
Okay. What'd you learn in school? Nothing. Oh, you had to learn something.
It's that you learn, you learn math or numbers. Like, what did you learn? Something right? Nothing.
Okay. What'd you eat for lunch? A sandwich. What type of sandwich? Peanut butter and jelly. Okay. Listen, man, you live in a good life. P, B and J. Well, what else do you have to share with us?
What do you want to talk about, Jared? How about them tigers? Yeah, them tigers are looking good. You like that home run yesterday, three run bomb? Yep.
As long as we get Jared's school pitching, we got this thing in the back. Oh my goodness. He can't pitch every day, can he? No, right?
No, it's 4 o'clock daybreak. Oh my goodness. I wish he could pitch, if he could pitch every day, A, he'd be super man. And then B, the tigers would be going to the, the, the world series, but he can't. Fair.
I know, right? You play baseball, you out there playing baseball, a little softball. What you doing? Yeah, I play baseball. What's your favorite position? Shortstop. Oh, your shortstop. Okay. How's your defense? Your defense is good? Okay. Well, what are you? Okay. So that's good.
And a lot of shortstops, their defense stinks. What do you want to do as you get older? Do you know yet? Um, people analytics. You want to do what Atlanta or who analytics, what? People analytics. Peak analytics? People analytics. Spell that. P-E-O-P-L-E analytics. Oh, people as in human, people, people. What is people analytics?
What is that? So like you basically graph how much money you'd be making and you're going to say, let's try to get them to stay in the business longer. And like, if they've been in for this much time, they're making this much money, they're doing this much work.
You add that up and you say, try to figure out how you can get them to stay in your business longer. Oh, look at you. Is someone close to you involved in people analytics? Um, my uncle. Oh, good.
Oh, your uncle's a good man. And you, you be good too. Okay.
Jared, you call me anytime. Okay. Okay. You have a good night. Is it bedtime? When are you going to sleep? 10 ish.
10 ish. Oh, you got, okay. You got bills to pay or something? What's the deal? No. Lucky.
You live in a good life. Well, make sure you go to school. So what time is school? What time is class start tomorrow? Eight o'clock.
Eight o'clock, man. You need to take it. Go to sleep. Okay.
Get some rest and make sure you learn something tomorrow. All right. You have, Hey, you tell them, uh, uncle Jr said hello. All right. You're not my uncle. I am now because I said so.
Jared. Okay. Okay. You have a good night. You too.
Thank you. Bye-bye. I am your uncle.
Hey, can you hear how disrespectful these kids are? You ain't my uncle. Yeah.
Well, you want to bet? Go find your auntie. Go find her.
How about people analytics? I'm saying I didn't know what he said. Smarter than me already. Jeez. Yeah. It's both of us people.
I didn't know what he was like. Pico analytics. What is that? He said people analytics.
How do you get the people to stay at work? Okay. No, it looks bright, huh?
Does it? I'll trust Jared. And if we had like a million more Jared's, I feel pretty good. I should have asked him how old he is, but I didn't care that much. What? No, I just, I appreciate the honesty. I'm just saying, I was like, Hey, I don't want to, I didn't want to, I don't want to intrude.
That's pretty much what it was. I didn't want to, you know, you ask, you ask a young man or anybody how old they are. They, you know, they're going to lie anyway.
If he's, if he's six, he's going to be like, Hey man, I'm eight. I wasn't going to get a real answer, but I put it to you this way. If he is studying and understanding people analytics, at whatever age he is eating his peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a delicious choice, by the way, why doesn't he just work for major league baseball for an office? Right? True.
They do people analytics, too many analytics. Why not? White Sox could use him. Oh my God. By the time he's old enough to have a job, the White Sox may still need him.
So that's a good, good point. What was that young man's name? Jared from Minnesota.
Hey Jared, you're doing some good stuff, man. Go to school and learn something. He said nothing. I guess you learned people analytics.
He, what, what, he's ahead of everybody. He's learning nothing right now. What'd you learn today? Ah, nothing. Nothing. No.
What did they try to teach you? I guess is the better question. I don't know, man.
He had me looking at one plus one and I'm trying to teach them the Pythagorean Theorem. I don't know. It Chris is calling from California. You're on the JR sport re-show. What's up, Chris? Hey, how's it going, man?
That was just a fantastic call, man. It's hard to follow it up, but, uh, I got to tell you, man, back in 2015, I took my grandson miracle to the med Dodger game on July 4th. We were on Fox TV, the whole game, you know, putting our beers on the med dugout, my cousins in New York, sending those pictures. I'm like, you know what the worst part was? JR? Getting started at four o'clock.
Cause Fox TV control, you know, TV controls everything. Game's over at seven. It's like 120 degrees. And we got to wait till nine 15 for the fireworks show. I'm like miracle. Let's just cruise, man. And he's like, grandpa, I came for the fireworks show. So guess what? He had another 10 hot dogs. I had, you know, eight sodas. Excuse me? The fireworks show.
Cause that's what he wanted. And I gave him a call today and I said, Hey miracle, I'm rolling down to San Diego tomorrow on your favorite train, the Amtrak surf liner. Would you like to go? And he goes, grandma said no. So I'm rolling down there by myself and let's show doctors.
We need the doctors in the meds, man. Yeah. Yeah.
I'm I'm with it. Wait, wait, wait. You said he ate 10 hot dogs.
Yes. He was a big boy. Where do you put, where do you, if I ate 10 hot dogs at a baseball stadium, I don't think I'm making an out of there at one piece. Well, let me tell you this.
Um, I was carrying a one day down Hollywood Boulevard and he was five years old and this lady said, that's a big baby. You got to go, Hey, I'm, I'm grandpa and his parents, uh, you know, they're tripping out right now. So I'm going to just do what he wants to do. And boy, if they're playing the world series, I'll find a way to get them down here, man. We'll go to VIP tickets.
I'll find a way to hook it up. All right. Don't, don't need 10 hot dogs. You or him. All right. Thank you, Chris.
Good luck, man. Later. All right.
Peace out. Oh, he could, he's about to, well, no. How many does Joey eat in whatever? He eats 70 hot dogs. That was, that's what he does, right?
Yeah. Miracle's like seven times short of that. How long does he have to eat those hot dogs? He like 10 minutes, 10 minutes, 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes.
That doesn't sound like I'm not, now that I think about it. Seven dogs a minute. You think you can eat seven dogs in one minute and then do it again 10 times?
If I trained? Yeah. Oh my. I wouldn't know.
Hell no. Seven hot dogs in a minute. You, you think that's, you think that's difficult? I think it's very difficult. I bet you, if you tried, you would get, I think you get two and a half in a minute, in a minute?
In a minute. They eat, they eat the hot dog by itself and then they put the, the bun in water. Disgusting.
So what's the most difficult part? Is it, is it chewing it in a, an appropriate way or? Do they chew? You can't just swallow out, you see them munching, you can't just swallow a hot dog whole, can't do that. All right, maybe you cut it up. They don't cut it up.
No, they just. I'm feeling sorry, I'm in with their teeth. That's called chewing. Three chews.
For a hot dog? Maybe two chews per dog. One, two, three, swallow, right?
They're pretty efficient. That's for a whole dog though. Yeah, one, two, three, swallow. Do they do, do they alternate with the bread or do they do all the meat first and then the bread?
I think they go meat, bread, meat, bread. So I think, I think you get, you know, the full hot dog in there one at a time. I believe you got to do seven of these in a minute. You really think you could do that?
Seven hot dogs in one minute. If there was money on the line, I would. Oh yeah. What amount of money would it take for you to do that? Like, would you do it for a hundred bucks? Uh, no. Thousand bucks?
Yes. Okay. Thousand bucks. Well, you're going to find, you're going to find a thousand bucks and give me.
I won't give it to you, but I can try to find some. Sure. Let's raise a little fundraiser here. Give me a thousand bucks.
I'll give it a JR, seven dogs in one minute. See if you can do it. What do we got to do?
Find Nathan's? We could. Yeah. Let's make them do it. They don't got, who cares about Nathan's besides 4th of July?
Exactly. Let's do like maybe middle January or so, like the half 4th of July anniversary, January 4th, midway point, the JR Palooza. Palooza? We got to make it a party. I mean, the whole thing's an event. No, I could do it right here in the studio.
Yeah. I'm sure Odyssey Atlanta would love it. We'll make sure you guys stream that. People want to see you try to stuff. You see me vomit. I don't know what anybody wants. It's the JR sport reshow. We'll be back. Don't move. We'll talk about sports.
