It is the JR Sportbrief show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia.

Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. I hope you're doing well. I hope you're safe. I hope you're good.

I'm going to be hanging out with you for one more hour. This show gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I'm being joined by super producer and host Ryan Hickey.

Ryan Hickey is holding down for us in New York City. You can always listen to this show on the free Odyssey app. You can start beginning. You can hit pause. You can hit rewind. Thank you to everybody listening live on their local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. Thank you to people listening on Sirius XM Channel 158.

And if you have a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. We have a lot to do here in this remaining hour because we have a lot of sports going on. Of course, at the end of the show, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. We just told you, we heard from Cam Newton giving advice to Jayden Daniels.

He has a big game coming up. It's going to be a fun one. We're going to get the Washington commanders taking on the Baltimore Ravens. Not only is this a battle of the 202. Man, that traffic on the 202 sucks between Baltimore and D.C. Traffic is awful. Two lanes of hell.

Two lanes up and two lanes down. Help me save me. Oh, my God. Terrible nightmares about that.

But anyway, we'll get into that. Speaking of NFL football, the San Francisco 49ers are in Seattle right now. The 49ers have a record of two and three. The Seahawks have a record of three and two. They've lost two straight games. Seattle leads 13 to nothing.

About four or five minutes have gone by here in the second quarter. And the big play, Deebo Samuel, a 76 yard touchdown catch from Brock Purdy. San Francisco leads 13 to nothing. If San Francisco wins, they tie for the division lead. They go to three and three. The Seahawks fall to three and three.

And let's see if the 49ers can go on some type of roll while they await the return of Christian McCaffrey, who, by the way, we still have no idea when this guy is going to return. Meanwhile, on the WNBA side, you have the WNBA finals. They're underway.

The New York Liberty are beating the Minnesota Lynx 44 to 36 in game one of the WNBA finals. And then on the baseball side. Hickey, this is a lot, man. There's a lot of action.

Fun time of the year. It is. It is.

It is. The Detroit Tigers, they're trying to do some work here, trying. The Guardians lead them in Detroit. The score is four to three. It's the top of the ninth. Cleveland has two guys on base with one out. Detroit is trying to hold this, this lead or this deficit to one so they can come up in the bottom of the ninth and see if they have some magic. If Detroit wins this game, they advance to the American League Championship Series. If Cleveland holds on to win, the series is tied to all. And at that point, you would think Cleveland has the momentum and that Detroit is basically screwed. Meanwhile, hey, in Kansas City, the New York Yankees, they lead the Royals one to nothing in the fourth inning.

Garrett Cole is on the mound and he seems to be coasting right now. Hickey, I think I gave everybody most important most important updates outside of like Roaches racing outside. No one needs an update on that. No.

OK. I'm just saying Roaches, I don't even know. Did the Roaches and Joe's apartment, did they have names? I don't get the reference. Joe's apartment was a movie in the 90s about Roaches and a guy's apartment. Oh, well, self-explanatory. Hey, no, Joe's apartment. Go ahead, Google it. You'll see Roaches dancing in a guy's apartment.

Very New York City-esque, I guess. Yeah, I guess I add that one to my movie watch list or? I've never seen Joe's apartment. Oh, you still have the premise. OK. Well, Roaches and a guy's apartment, a guy named Joe.

When I see this. Yeah, I don't I don't need to watch that movie. I think I think I know what it's it's about. But anyway, yeah, we got a lot of sports going on tonight. We'll keep you up to date as I'm here in this remaining hour. I'm really interested to see what these Detroit Tigers do. Can they they bounce back?

Oh, crap. And Cleveland gets another run. It's now five, five to three. Hickey, you know, the Detroit teams are typically screwed. Do we have a miraculous comeback tonight or Cleveland is going to tie this up, right? It looks like Cleveland will tie it up. I would not be surprised, though, if they go back to Cleveland for a game five and we see the Tigers win. Oh, OK.

I don't think the series is over if Cleveland wins tonight. Mr. Positive in Michigan will be calling us any any well, I guess tomorrow, maybe looking for the positivity.

Good for him. We'll keep you up to date on what goes down. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. You know, folks, I do need to share this with you. You know, last break we heard from Cam Newton, who had advice for Jayden Daniels. And we know Cam Newton basically shot out of a can, an offensive rookie of the year, Heisman Award winner, ended up being an MVP, took his team to the Super Bowl. He's one of the greatest Russian quarterbacks of all time. And he was so damn good at being a Russian quarterback that his body betrayed him because he was bigger than everybody.

And then the injury started to take over. And that was pretty much all she wrote for Cam Newton. And now we see that Cam Newton is going to be an analyst or at least a voice, a commentator on ESPN's first take. And we heard the words that he had for Jayden Daniels.

He basically told him not to buy in to the hype. And how could you not buy into the hype right now for Jayden Daniels? He's having an amazing season.

I mean, that that Monday night football match up watching this guy stand in there and take the hits and deliver the victories. Eleven hundred yards passing. Four touchdowns. Seventy seven percent accuracy.

This is nuts. And that's fallen from eighty three percent. Oh, what a terrible what a terrible passer. Three hundred yards rushing. And four touchdowns. People are taking a look at the next match up for the Washington commanders who happen to be four and one, by the way, who would have thought that they'd be four and one? They're looking at the match up against the Ravens and they're going. This man is the next Lamar Jackson.

Now those some big old shoes to fill. And it shows you how much the NFL has progressed over the past several years, because even after Lamar Jackson's first full season as a starting quarterback, when he won MVP, by the way. Think about Lamar's numbers.

Think about these numbers. If it wasn't Lamar Jackson, how many people would be going, whoa, this guy's a freak. And Lamar's first year as a starter, thirty one hundred yards passing, thirty six touchdowns. So only six interceptions, he rushed for twelve hundred yards and had seven touchdowns.

That is that that's a machine. If you're a standalone running back in the NFL, you want twelve hundred yards rushing and you want seven such that, damn it, you might go to the Pro Bowl with rushing statistics like that. And I told you about his passing numbers. The three thousand yards passing to thirty six. That's a that's a MVP caliber performance by a quarterback.

Lamar Jackson did both of those in his first season. And so naturally people are going, whoa, OK, maybe Jaden can be the next Lamar. Maybe he could grow into this so he can throw. He can he can run.

Oh, my God. He's the next this. You want to know who doesn't want to know who doesn't want to hear any of that? Jaden Daniels doesn't want to hear any of that.

He addressed this. He said, I don't want to be compared to anybody. I just want to be the next who me. I'll say for me, it's kind of just, you know, go out there and it's trying to be unique and try to be not really different from everybody, appreciate what they could do, because you always learn stuff from other quarterbacks within the league. I'm not close minded. You know, I always want to be able to grow.

But, you know, at the end of the day, I want to be known as Jane Danza, not the next such and such. Well, I mean, outside of the Heisman's, think about that there in that club. Jaden, he didn't have to sit around in the green room the way Lamar Jackson did. They were in conversations about, oh, my God, this guy isn't a quarterback, this guy's a running back. Those conversations, they never existed and popped up for Jaden Daniels. And Jaden Daniels basically popped up out of nowhere, going from Arizona State University, being able to turn that, turn this around, get drafted number one overall here. He's special.

I'll tell you this much. I think out of the gate, he's a better passer than Lamar. As a rookie, most definitely. Who completes 77 percent of their passes? And it actually appears that Jaden Daniels, to me, watching him when he receives the snap, it's like he wants to stay in the pocket. He wants to go through his reads and his progressions before he goes out there and just just hoofs it. I think he wants to be a quarter. Lamar Jackson is both.

He's doing whatever the hell he wants. He's a machine back there. But I think Jaden Daniels is more I think he can be built into more of a prototypical passer, especially as he gets older. I mean, do you want him taking the hits? He's smart enough to get the hell out the way, unlike another quarterback.

Sorry, Hickey Anthony Richardson. But Jaden Daniels looks like the real deal. And so, yeah, if you want to think about the ability to run.

Yes, I think it kind of stops there. I see him as a passer first before I see him as a runner. And I wouldn't necessarily make that comparison to Lamar.

What do you think, Hickey? I'm with you. It is like I think it's easy on the surface to say, oh, of course, these two are one in the same. But you are right in terms of the style. I do agree that he tries to pass first more than being a runner. But also, I love the attitude of Jaden Daniels of I'm my own guy. And I think that you're starting to see that more across the league in general of just people being their own individuals. But I think it also helps just in terms of expectations, I'm sure, for himself of just I'm not Lamar.

I'm not trying to be somebody that maybe I could be, but not fully am. I'm going to be me and not deviate from what I do well. Yeah, this is going to be a fun matchup. And so Washington, the commanders are going to be down in Baltimore or up in Baltimore, I should say. That'll take place on Sunday. That'll be in the early window on CBS.

So I'll be I'll be checking that out. And because, to be honest, I've never seen Jaden, I've never seen Lamar Jackson take the hit that Jaden Daniels did in that game against Cincinnati on Monday night, where Jaden just kind of stood in the pocket. He's getting rushed.

He got cracked. He threw an accurate bomb. He wasn't scrambling around.

He wasn't trying to recreate and make something that wasn't there, make something out of nothing. The guy was a QB. He got the ball down the field, but he's also not afraid to run. And this is what makes this era of QB so amazing and so special. I know a lot of people will say the game is different. This is now the college game at the NFL level.

They've done the game down. I like it. I like the versatility. I like the offense. You know, I don't mind a little bit of a rock fight every now and then. A little bit of Steelers football never hurt anybody.

But it's cool what we got now in the league. Everybody, every quarterback has their own style. They have their own way of doing things. Unfortunately for the Washington commanders, I'm going to give this one to the veterans on this side. I'm going to go ahead and take the Baltimore Ravens to beat Washington at home. These Baltimore Ravens are trying to round into form after knocking off the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens can go out there and beat anybody.

We know that. Ravens sit at three and two right now. I think it's due time for them to improve that record to four and two. The Ravens can beat everybody. We know their most difficult foe, some guy named Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. I think the Ravens are going to win this at home and let's see what Jayden Daniels does.

This could be a little bit of a coming out party, even though I think he's had that already. 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27. That's 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27. Cleveland has now taken, well it's still a 5-4 lead over Detroit. It's the bottom of the ninth. Tigers are now down to their final out.

This is looking ugly. Meanwhile in Kansas City, the New York Yankees have two runners on. A runner on first, a runner on third. Yankees still lead Kansas City one to nothing. Yankees are trying to get some runs up on the board themselves there, trying to create some more distance. I need to let you know about the Dependable Player of the Week sponsored by Depend and the Prostate Cancer Foundation, reminding you that health is a long game and screening for prostate cancer is easier than ever.

You can learn more at depend.com. Francisco Lindor, the man carried the New York Mets to the National League Championship Series. He knocked in a grand slam in his sixth inning yesterday. The New York Mets beat the Phillies 4-1 to win the National League Division Series against them 3-1, Lindor's go-ahead home run. It was the second he hit in 10 days. This MVP candidate, sorry, he's going to come in second to Shohei Ohtani. This man has driven in six runs so far this postseason.

You better love Francisco Lindor. 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 on the other side, I'm going to get to your calls. I'm going to give you an update. We'll get another update on what's going on.

The WNBA Finals, the finals, the Major League Baseball playoffs, Thursday Night Football. You know what? I just educated you on something very special with depend. There's a tennis player. He's not elderly. He's not old.

He might need some depend sooner than later. I'll tell you who's retiring. It's the JR Sportbree Show on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sportbree. JR Sportbree Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. One of our Major League Baseball playoff games is over. Unfortunately for the Detroit Tigers, they could not close out the Cleveland Guardians. Cleveland wins tonight. In Detroit, the final score is 5-4. The series is now tied at 2-all, which means this series is going back to Cleveland winner take all. Whoever wins this game, or the next game I should say, advances to the American League Championship Series.

Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the New York Yankees lead the Royals 2-0. It's the bottom of the 5th. Cleveland had to come from behind to ultimately win this game.

Because by the time we got to the bottom of the 6th, Detroit took a 3-2 lead. But then we got to the top of the 7th and David Fry hit a 2-run home run. It put the Guardians up 4-3.

Take a listen to this courtesy of the Guardians Radio Network. The 2-2 delivery in the top of the 9th hit a sacrifice fly that scored a run. Cleveland ended up taking a 5-3 lead. In the bottom of the 9th, the Tigers were able to get a run up on the board on a ground out to make it 5-4.

But they couldn't score another run to tie things up. Take a listen. This is the final call from the Guardians Radio Network. Clase brings the hands up, chin high. He lets it fly. A swing and a miss. Ball game. And this incredible division series has one more game remaining. A deciding game 5 winner take all. Saturday in Northeast Ohio as Cleveland comes off the map to beat Detroit 5-4. Yeah, that game is going to take place. Game 5, the final game of the series goes down at approximately 4.30 Eastern Time. So let's see who ends up winning.

I picked the Guardians from the get go. Didn't expect Clase to blow that save earlier. He didn't blow no save tonight. Little bit of a get back for him. Unfortunately, the Tigers, well, they didn't get the job done.

I was hoping they could. Hickey, I've been looking for my photo where I'm hanging out the Tiger's mouth. I can't find it. Yeah, I'm very curious.

I would love to see that. Yeah, I'll find it. Apple Photos is good when you don't need it. Like to remind you of terrible memories. But when you want to find something, you can't.

Technology, right? Always kind of works in that way. Yeah, reminding you of the bad times. 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27.

That's 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27. Hickey, there's a lot of fans in Detroit who took photos tonight at the stadium. And then, I don't know, next year, two years from now, five years from now, they're going to look at the photos and it's going to say, hey, this is what you did five years ago. You had a baseball game where your favorite team lost. Remember that, right? As you're trying to block it out of your memory. Here it is, right back in your face.

Yeah, technology. They're already starting to get back at us, stupid robots. Yeah, let's go to Arnold. Hey, Arnold, calling from Arizona. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up?

Yeah. Who do you think is going to win the World Series? Who do you think? I want to know who you think. I am favoring the Padres right now. Between their pitching, all their stupid guys in the bullpen, all the additions they've had.

I think AJ Preller finally put together a team that's going to win something. So I'm going to take the Padres over the Yankees in the World Series. Does that work for you, Arnold? That's it?

Okay. Thank you, Arnold, for calling from Arizona. Hickey, that guy was just, what was he shot out of a cannon? What was his deal? He sounded like somebody who maybe has to pay for every word that they say. Is that a strict word count? I don't know.

Much love to everybody listening in Arizona. He was short. He was to the point. And you know, I told you this prior to the break.

The man I'm going to talk to you about right now, nothing short about him. This guy has had a long, long career because at the age of 38 years old, Rafael Nadal, Rafa, is deciding to hang it up at the end of the current tennis season. Listen to this courtesy of Fox Sports Australia. 22-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal has announced his retirement from professional tennis. The 38-year-old will make his final appearance in November at the Davis Cup finals. After struggling with various injuries, the Spaniard finally caught time on one of the most dominant careers in the sport, announcing his decision on social media. Nadal is widely regarded as one of the greatest players to step foot on a tennis court. The 38-year-old leaves the sport having won 22 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals.

He holds the record with 14 French Open victories, a tournament he dominated unlike any other player in the sport's history. When is Djokovic going to quit? When is he leaving? I mean, he's still winning.

He just won a gold medal. Why does he just go home? Not anytime soon, I guess. Would you quit if you were still winning at the top?

No. Then why is LeBron still here? What is he sticking around for? Play with his kid? Rafael Nadal, he has 22 Grand Slams, Roger Federer has 20, and Djokovic has 24.

This is leave already. And I heard Carlos Alcaraz, who already has four himself, wow. Carlos Alcaraz, a former, not a former, a fellow Spaniard, he actually said, he's like, I'm going to miss him.

I'm like, bruh. Nadal won his first championship, his first Grand Slam. It was 2005 at the French Open. He dominated Clay. Why are you missing him? He's been playing forever.

Like you're next up, you're the latest Spaniard to destroy everybody in tennis. I don't think Carlos Alcaraz, he can't be older than what, 22 years old? Is he old enough to buy a beer? Let's see. He's 21 years old. In other countries, I'm sure maybe he was drinking at 10.

I have no idea. But the fact is, don't be sad for this man. He's one of the greatest male tennis players ever. Let Rafa Nadal sit around in retirement. I don't know what he's going to do. Hickey, he's going to be a commentator in Spain. What is he going to do? I don't know what he does. Maybe. I mean, that or I mean, like you said, he's won enough, made a lot of money, enough money.

Maybe just enjoy life, relax. I forgot the name of the island. Mallorca, I think he's from an island in Spain. He may just disappear onto that island, never to be seen again with his headband attached to his head. Yeah. He stopped wearing that headband when he went bald. Did you notice that? I guess I haven't watched him enough recently. I was assuming he still doesn't wear it anymore, huh? I don't know. All I know is I see he used to have a full head of hair. Right. And now it's wispy.

Very, very, very wispy. Even Djokovic kissed his ass on the way out. He put up a long post about traveling and playing against him and what have you. And I'm like, you know, Djokovic looks younger than than Nadal. Roger Federer looks younger than Nadal and Roger Federer got to be, I don't know, three, four years older than him. I don't I don't know what tennis did to Nadal, but it wore him out. How old is Federer?

Oh, he's 43. OK, man, these tennis players, tennis chews you up and spits you out. I know you played you played pickleball. Did you ever play tennis? No, just like with friends, like recreationally.

Have you taken? Yes, I played tennis. It's it is. Oh, my God.

It's tough, bro. I have never I've been more growing up when I used to finish playing tennis. I would be more tired than when I played basketball.

Wow. My body would be hurting. I think is why my knees suck today from all the tennis, because the one on a basketball court, you know, you have all these you got all the sharp cuts and turns, the running, the jumping. My knees hurt thinking about it. But on tennis, it was constant. It's it's it's move left the right, back the front, back the side, the side, the the torque on the on the the serves.

Hickey, my Hickey, I'd be I'd have to sit in the tub afterwards because my body would be in so much pain. Wow. I don't envy any of these tennis players. And one of the issues that they have right now with the current tour is that they they make them play basically all year long, all year. And they don't necessarily get the break. And it's I don't feel when when you got Naomi Osaka saying I play no more, I'm taking a break.

I get it. Kudos to Rafael Nadal for going out here, having an amazing career. I'm just waiting on the American guy and we don't have him. I don't know why we don't have him.

We don't have no no kid. I don't know, chained to a tennis court somewhere practicing like why don't we have a great tennis player? They all playing basketball and football.

What am I missing here? I guess that's the problem. They're doing other sports that are, quote unquote, cooler, if you will.

These tennis players, man, they make. Well, you can you can make it's tough. Let me not say that. Let me back up.

Let me back up. That's not true. If you're good, you can make millions of dollars every year and not even be the top of the top of the top of the top. I guess these other sports pay so much money. Just just go play baseball or football or whatever.

It's tough. Anyway, Marco Belletti, why don't we have American tennis players? Well, what's going on here? Why why they don't win?

We got Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Federer. Where's the American at? I don't know. But I mean, doesn't don't you have to start at like nine? Isn't that kind of part of it, too, where you have to kind of be good by the time you're 12, 13, 14. So maybe it's just hard to figure it out at a young age or get kids at that age. I don't know.

They haven't they've gone different avenues or they're still exploring other things. Once you have to be locked into tennis by like 10, otherwise you're too old. We don't have enough tennis courts in America, I guess.

Is that what it is? You know what? I don't know.

Florida, California. You can't play nobody playing tennis in Texas. I mean, you could play inside, but who wants to do that?

Yeah, I don't know. It's one of those sports though, because it's almost like gymnastics. Like you got to get into it young and you better be good by the time you're, you know, hitting your teenage years.

Otherwise you're too old. And that's weird. But you the U.S. is competitive. How come we could be so damn good at gym?

We've been good at gymnastics forever, competing against countries. Right. That, you know, they I sound like an ass right now. You know, they overwork these kids. Oh, you know what I'm saying?

I'm not going to name no country's names, but come on. I know they got these kids up at five a.m. in the morning. You're going to eat breakfast. You're going to practice. You're going to stretch. You're going to practice. You're going to eat lunch and you're going to practice.

You're going to take a nap and you're going to. And they're doing this seven days a week. We don't. Well, we don't treat the kids like that here. I would think I don't think Simone Biles has been abused like that throughout the course of her trials, but we've we've produced world class athletes in gymnastics. We can't do this in tennis. Like, I don't think you think Nadal were they waking him up?

Did they treat him like Otani? Come on now. I really like I said, I don't know. I don't know if it's other sports. I don't know if it's the specialization. I don't know if it's, you know, you've got to have the right coaching.

And you really again, they've got to be able to find it and be able to translate it at a young age and really almost kind of like put you into the whatever you want to call it, into that tournament type of style. I don't know. I don't know if it's just against the way we look at things or it's just it's flying under the radar. I don't I really don't know the answer. Americans aren't good at soccer because we don't care about it as much.

That's just what it is. We don't we don't we're not into it that much. It's growing, growing by leaps and bounds. We got the Club World Cup.

We got the World Cup in two years. And soccer is growing. But people don't have the huge interest. Yeah, but that's also the money too, though. I do think that's part of it. But there's lack of money in soccer in the United States.

You got to go overseas. Yeah. And there's that's part of it. So if you get the absolute best athletes that are doing that at a younger age, they get away from it. Yeah. Yeah. But there's no reason that we don't have more.

I don't want to call them country club kids. But why don't we produce too many good at Yannick Center? I mean, the guy with the wounds and the massages. Yes.

Deep, deep, deep massage. And hey, Giancarlo Stanton, give him a name. Never mind.

Three, you know, let's see if he can run the bases again. My point is this. Stop it. You see, I stopped myself.

Yes. A deep, deep massage. Anyway, Yannick Center is built like a basketball play. Why can't we take one of these six foot three guys with arms and legs and speed and power? Let's put it this way. What would LeBron James do if you gave him a racket?

All right. Let that you're right. But he would do that in every sport.

But that's my point, though. You don't know that at 10, 11, 12. And I feel like that's when the kids are already really into tennis and they're already with a personal coach and they're already. I mean, we watch the Serena Williams and all the stuff with her dad. But like, even when she was.

Yeah. Even when she was starting to work with the you know, the coaching and she still wanted to go to school, which was different for what tennis is. I mean, Jennifer Capriotti was already in the, you know, grand slams or whatnot.

She was like 12. I feel like tennis is one of those sports where if you're not into it at that age, like, yeah, sure, if you can find a 16 year old kid and turn him into. But you're already too late. And it's almost like you haven't learned it yet. It doesn't really work. And they look at you like you're old.

By the time you hit 23, 24, your knees are gonna be shot. Yeah. Well, you guys both tell me if I sound like Gilbert Arenas.

OK. I'm sick of all these other guys winning. I need an American. I need I need to watch an American win. I mean, Andy Roddick, come on. These these matches used to come on.

I go, these guys are going to wax them. What are we even doing here? I'm like, I'm rooting for Andy Roddick.

I feel like I'm rooting for the I don't know, I don't know, a loser. Well, you just start hitting the court, start finding all the kids playing in the sand lots and all the different things. But you got to look at the eight year olds and the nine year olds, get the best athlete and start playing, making them play tennis, because that's what it is. You got to get them really, really young.

Otherwise, you know, again, you said tennis, pitch up a choose. Yeah. Eighteen.

You're like, ah, geez, guys already on the other. He's in the back nine. I'm going to Paul Millsap has a gym here. He has a whole basketball team full of kids. The teenagers are ready, I guess, too late. That's too late.

Too late. I'm going to find his youngest group. And I'm going to steal a couple of kids and make them play tennis. There you go. I'm going to start my own tennis academy.

Right here in Atlanta, J.R.'s, J.R.'s Tennis Academy. That would be the name, of course. Oh, come on, man. Well, I can't be more creative than that. Well, now you got to be a little bit crazy. I don't. I don't. What the hell am I call it? I don't know. When you when you steal that eight year old kid that's really good and athletic and you're going to make him a tennis player, get him to come up with a better name.

They're smarter than us. An eighth grader? No, no, no.

It's too late. Eight year old. You think so? Yeah. Yeah. Can an eight year old walk in a straight line without a phone in his hand?

He made me depressed. I'm saying I don't know. Can they sit at a dinner table and hold a conversation? No, no, they can't do that at all. No, they're terrible at that. Yeah. Let me know when they can do that.

Then maybe I'll trust them. Not now. It's the J.R. sport re-show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Yeah, I'm being pro America right now. I am.

Need tennis players ASAP. Anyway, it's the J.R. sport re-show. We're going to take a break when we come back. We're going to wrap things up. I'm going to fill you in on a few things that took place this day in sports history. There's quite a few things that have already taken place tonight in the world of sports.

And these things continue on. You're listening to the J.R. Sport Brief. It's the J.R. sport re-show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We already told you about the Tigers.

They lost to the Guardians 5 to 4, forcing a game 5. It's going to be fun on Saturday. Right now, the New York Yankees have a 3-0 lead against the Royals.

You just heard that from Marco Belletti. Almost had a little bit of a beef. Things getting physical in Kansas City. Volpe tagging Garcia at second base.

Volpe a little aggressive on the tag. A little forearm in the top of the clavicle. Hickey, I said clavicle or not.

What's it called? Collarbone? There you go.

Fancy too. Yeah, you're a doctor over there. Yeah, I'm a doctor. Yeah, Dr. J.R.M.

Yeah. You know, there was a doctor out here giving people fake teeth. What? There was a doctor here in Atlanta. He's giving people fake teeth. He was doing one of those things.

Veneers? Is that what it is? Oh, like there was like a real, yes, like a real operation, not like a fraudulent operation, right? No, no, no. The doctor was fake. I don't think people knew he was fake. Oh, he was giving people veneers and people were trying to figure out why, you know, after a couple months, you know, things were terrible in their mouths. And they found out that doctors are, he's not a real doctor.

Fake doctor giving out fake teeth. Oh my God. How appropriate, right? Exactly right. That's funny. Yeah. And not funny if you got fake teeth. Well, that's true. You're right about that.

Now you got to go see a real doctor to get it fixed. Pay double. Yeah.

Well, you know, you're not getting that money. It's almost as bad as the guy. It's almost as bad as the Jacksonville Jaguars. Not only are the Jaguars, what is it, DraftKings? They tried to sue DraftKings. Now the guy who committed the crime is trying to sue DraftKings as well, but if not, let them know how dangerous gambling is. You exploited me. Oh man.

You could just sue anybody for anything nowadays. This is just, it's nuts. Anyway, Garcia was mad at Volpe and dugouts kind of sort of cleared and we'll see what happens the rest of the game. They're in the bottom of the sixth. Now for baseball, as fast as all of these games go, this game feels like it is going real, real slow. You know what? It's the end of the show. This show is almost done.

So I think we need to do this. Go back in time. Today is October 10th, 2024. It's time for this day in sports history. 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, October 10th, 2024. That's today. But 20 years ago, October 10th, 2004, the New England Patriots, the team that sucks in 2024, they won their 19th straight game, setting a new NFL record. They beat the Dolphins.

The final score was 24 to 10. And this was a streak they started the year before because they ended up winning almost every game that year. They went 14 and 2. They beat the Carolina Panthers then in the Super Bowl and then they kept on winning. And then they won the Super Bowl again against the Eagles. But let's take a listen to this final call as they won their 19th straight game.

This is on CBS. It has not been the best offensive performance of the season by far by the Patriots, but they've had the goods again as they go for 19 consecutive wins has never been accomplished in NFL history. And now Tom Brady with a kneel down, no timeouts left for Miami.

It's just a matter of running it out. And there's the litany of victories going through now. Three seasons, 19 in a row. Bob Kraft, who has been the mastermind of building this franchise. Ladies and gentlemen, you go back 85 seasons to 1920, the first NFL year. Tens of thousands of men, including my partner, Deidre, have played this wonderful game, but no team of men has ever put together 19 consecutive victories. And we're just seconds now away from that being accomplished. Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. We know about their six Super Bowl titles.

I'm glad they suck now. Hickey, you excited for Drake May? I'm excited to see him.

Sure. I'm not excited about what's awaiting him, which is going to be a ferocious pass rush. Oh, the Texans are going to eat him alive. Oh yeah.

They eat him alive. Everything comes in cycles, you know, here today, gone tomorrow, I guess. I guess, unless you're Aaron.

Well, Aaron Rodgers, one day he's just going to wake up and quit. What a day. What a show. What an afternoon. What a night.

What an evening. 16 to three, the 49ers are leading the Seahawks in the WNBA finals this minute, the New York Liberty, they're beating Minnesota 81 to 69. The Yankees have a 3-1 lead here in the bottom of the sixth against the Royals. There's still plenty of time for the Royals to say, let's tie this game up. Let's tie up the series.

We saw the guardians do it, forcing a game five on Saturday. It's not the holidays, but we're getting close. This is close to being the most wonderful time of the year.
