Best & Worst NFL Week 6 Games (Hour 2)

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you 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. Happy Friday to you. I hope you're good. I hope you're safe. I hope you had a good week.

I hope you're getting ready for the weekend. I'm going to be hanging out with you for the next three hours. This is a four-hour show. I get started every weekday, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I'm being joined by super producer and host Ryan Hickey. He's in New York City.

Me, I'm in Georgia. Nice. Anyway, we talked about a lot already. The Sooners versus the Longhorns tomorrow. We took a look back at last night's action. Man, we had some good games last night. New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. New York Yankees beating the Royals.

I guess it's not good if you're George Brett. We talked about Bob Costas and his boring ass calls. Hey, we got into the NFL.

The 49ers with a victory over the Seahawks. And it looks like we have more of a time frame on the return of Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey, it looks like they're trying to get him back onto the field by week 10 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And so the world continues to spin. The world goes on and we have more sports ahead of us. Joining us in about 20 minutes, we'll have Bobby Carpenter used to play linebacker at the Ohio State University. We know that's another big game as well as the Ohio State is going to be up in Oregon to take on those Ducks in Eugene.

And so we'll talk to Bobby not just about that matchup, but some of the other games that we need to pay attention to this weekend. If you want to contact me in the meanwhile, you sure can. The phone number here is eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. You can find me online. I'm on the Internet. I am at J.R.

Sport Brief, every place that humans and robots and trolls exist. Hickey, did you see the robots, by the way, that Elon this guy's name, Elon Musk, Elon, did you see the robots he made? No.

OK, I'll send it to you. I just. Oh, boy, that's concerning. You can. I don't know if it's a human inside the well, not inside the robot.

The robot is a robot by himself. You can you can have a conversation with the robot. That's for. No. Yep.

No. And the robot can. It can make you coffee. It can take the trash out. It can play blocks with your kids.

What psychopath would say, you know what? Kids, go play with the robot. That seems like you are wishing death upon your kids. You don't think one day that's not going to happen? You don't think one day that's not going to be a common practice, that one day the robot helps you with the children?

Come on. I hope not. That seems like humanity is just on a true downfall at that point. We might be there already. Well, you're right about that.

But if that is let's just say you're correct. And one day that is normal parenting behavior. Hey, kids, go play with the robot. Uncle Robot's here to watch you. Well, no, the robot is in the house with you at all times. He just comes off the wall. Oh, off his charger, I guess. He comes out of the garage in the morning and he he makes breakfast and he throws.

He's like a modern day Rosie from the Jetsons, except for he's scary looking. Maybe that is the path we're going down. Yeah. But I would not want to be one of the first test parents to say, all right, bring the robot in, because, you know, nothing is perfect. How many iterations of robots we have to get before they finally perfect the art of, I guess, babysitting?

Ten? We got driverless cars, OK? Yeah.

Would you want to get in one of the first driverless cars? No. Same. No, I think I had to do that. I think I had to do that.

Same. No, I think I did. I get one. You've been one. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. Were you in were you in Phoenix for the Super Bowl? You didn't go, right? You were. I was partly in Phoenix. I had food poisoning at the beginning, so I was literally getting out there. But I was there for the last two or three days.

I was like, damn, I don't think I saw you at all, did I? Well, I was down pretty bad for for most of that week, I will say. That stinks. That's hickey.

This my brain is so much mush. When was that? That was last year, right? That was last two years ago. No. Last year was Vegas.

No, no, no, no, no. Last year, calendar twenty twenty three. Last year.

Forget the stupid Super Bowl. OK. Yes. Technically. Yes. It was last February. Yeah. Last year. Right. Yes. No, I'm not football seasons ago.

But calendar wise, yes. Man, I talk years. I can't keep up with the stupid NFL.

What Super Bowl are we coming up on? 50 what now? Oh, I have no idea. See my point is no idea. I mean, I do years, man.

I do years. Can't keep up with the numbers. Fifty something. Anyway, I was standing on a corner in Phoenix right outside of downtown trying to go downtown to that convention center and a driverless car, a Waymo. It pulled up to the light.

You know, Phoenix has those downtown that the it's why like the street in one direction was like maybe four or five lanes. And I'm standing at the curb getting ready to cross the street. And one of these things pulled up because it was loaded up with cameras, cameras on the top, cameras on the sides, cameras everywhere. And I see a passenger in the back and I look in the front and I go, oh, crap, there's nobody in the front. And like this car was driving itself and the light shortchanged and the car went straight ahead.

It drove like every other car was going in traffic. And for a minute, another day I was getting ready to do it. And I was like, I got better things to do. I don't got time to play with a driverless car. So I never did it.

Yeah, that's going to take a while for me to get used to slash be willing to get in. Just never you can never be too safe. And I'm sure I don't be in the car that defects. And all of a sudden I'm toast.

It's OK, bro. I'll get you out. Well, maybe not. I don't know the cost on a robot, OK? Oh, we can't afford a robot. No, a robot may cost, take a row or 250, maybe. I don't know.

There's no price and not selling it yet. They're just, I guess, practicing with it. And Elon Musk's dungeon, I don't know. Oh, God. Yeah, that makes me if the robot was free, I'd say no, thank you. Oh, man, we've seen these movies before. It's all good until the robot wakes up and says to the human. No, I'm the captain now. Oh, my God. Oh, man.

It's like, hey, can you unlock that? No, the robots are going to be on, which is going to lock all the humans in the house because they're a danger to themselves. I've seen this before. I've read it for years, Isaac Asimov.

This story is 150 years old about the robots. Anyway, not talking about a bad thing, but something also bad. Sunday Night Football is going to be bad. If you thought Sunday Night Football this past Sunday, lots of Sundays, if you were as disappointed as I was that Mother Nature decided to have a thunderstorm in Pittsburgh, wait until you actually have to watch this game between the Cincinnati Bengals in the New York Giants. Why is this game on TV? Why the Giants are on television? Because it's New York. There's no other reason. There can't be another reason because I haven't found an NFL. Hickey, do people have Daniel Jones jerseys?

Like two. Two Giants fans? Two Giants fans have Daniel Jones eight jerseys that are ugly. There's New Yorkers all over the place, but nobody wants to see the Giants. And I guess if you're NBC and the NFL, you thought the Bengals would be better.

They are one and four. Their defense is pathetic. Maybe that's the saving grace for the New York Giants. Because by the way, Malik Nabors, their superstar rookie wide receiver from LSU, shout outs to LSU, Louisiana, Baton Rouge, this man is still in concussion protocol.

We're going to have to see Juanel Robinson go out there and try to help the team win and then go on Instagram live after the game. I'm going to tune in and I'm going to hope it's a blowout so I can turn the game off. I'm rooting for the Bengals to smash the New York Giants to save us all time. Because let's be real, these are two teams going nowhere. The New York Giants are a ticking time bomb waiting to get rid of Daniel Jones because they already got rid of Saquon Barkley. And the Cincinnati Bengals are not turning their season around.

They're one and four. I'm supposed to believe that all of a sudden they're going to go on a winning streak and be competitive and get a wild card spot? Hardly. I don't think so.

With Joe Burrow knowing that they stink and also, by the way, telling everybody earlier in the week, the Cincinnati Bengals are obviously not playing at a championship level. He says he's not letting a one and four record deter or slow them down from anything. Listen, I don't know if you balance that. You know, your record is record.

Doesn't matter how you lost him. Mm hmm. You know, the goal this week is to go one and 0 for the week and then move on. Oh boy. Well, that's really pretty much all all you can do, right? Can't do nothing else.

Daniel Jones on the opposite end of the spectrum. He's happy to be at home in New Jersey. Playing in front of the giant fans and the two guys who will be wearing his jersey. Listen, yeah, I feel like it's, you know, I'm excited to play at home.

I'm excited to get in front of fans and and looking forward to the opportunity. How exciting. New York Giants are two and three. I guess they're feeling real high after beating Seattle with that blocked blocked field goal for a touchdown. Seattle, man, Seattle just losing all the games now. Lost last night. Lost against the Giants.

Pathetic. Come on. Bengals, you got to win a game here.

Go two and four. It's the Giants. Offense stinks.

Bengals defense stinks too. So maybe the game will be interesting. I have the Bengals beating the New York Giants at home.

Go ahead. Put money on it. You want to make some money?

You know what to make some money? You lose. Blame me. You know who cares? Not me.

I don't care. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Jay is calling from Virginia. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show.

A long time listeners of the show. Thanks for taking my call. I just wanted to ask you, if the Bengals show a really good defensive and offensive performance on Sunday against the Giants, how do you feel the rest of their season is going to go? I think their season is cooked, man.

Like, I don't... Like, when I think about... You play for one thing. When you're the Cincinnati Bengals and you've gone to a Super Bowl and you've gone to an AFC Championship game, there's an expectation for the Cincinnati Bengals to be in the same space of, not as good as, but of in the periphery of the Kansas City Chiefs, of the Buffalo Bills, of the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals are not there. And so even if they were to go on some type of run, run to what? To a wildcard spot to get smacked up?

That's the best case scenario. I don't see them turning the season around. They can't stop anybody. They were routed by Baltimore last week, back and forth a shootout.

The week before that, their only victory of the season, they still gave up 24 points to the Panthers. Like, I got no confidence in them. Sorry. Understandable. Thanks for taking my call. I appreciate it. No doubt about it, Jay. Thank you for calling from Virginia. I wish I could be more optimistic, but I can't.

I'm just telling the truth. Bengals, you could put money on it. Put money on it today. Or maybe not. Bengals are not winning the Super Bowl. That's what I care about. I care about champs. Being good enough is not good enough.

Who cares about being OK? If you're a B student, you're a B student. Whatever.

Whoopty freakin' do. Right now, the Bengals are a D student. This is not a graduation. You either win the championship or you don't. You don't graduate from the class.

Everybody doesn't move ahead. We get one champion. Bob is calling from Wisconsin. You're on the JR Sportbree show. What's up, Bob? Hey, JR. You and yours are doing well.

I'm Bob from Wisconsin and I'm retired living the dream, baby. God bless you. I want to tell you about that thing back there with the robots. I mean, just think, I mean, OK, now they're playing games with your kit and then eventually it won't be that hard for them to teach them to make you like breakfast, maybe lunch. And then the next thing, what?

Oh, can you watch them while I'm at work just for a couple of hours? The robot to watch the kids? Oh, my God. And then they go on and on.

And can I get away for a weekend? Oh, my God. Next thing you know, they're raising our kids. What kind of kids are we going to have? Excuse me, Bob. I got to tell you this. It may not be a walking, talking robot, but robots are already raising our kids.

Yes, I can. In a way, I guess you can say that. I mean, we're being watched everything we do. No, no, I'm talking about the I'm talking about the phones and the computers and the apps and the algorithms they already program in the kids brains, all type of funky things. Oh, come on, JR. You're not out on that limb, are you? Really?

You're not getting programmed by something. We still think. Wait, hold on a second. Have a beer. We can go have a beer. They're not telling us.

No, you can't. Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. Let me let me tell you something. OK. For someone who works in media.

The art of program, the art of programing isn't necessarily programing, it's scheduling things out so people program their behaviors. It's no different than advertising or signaling. Hey, Bob, you don't have you got Facebook. I do, and I don't like looking at it because they got all the bull out there. Yeah, well, yeah. Facebook will think about think about Instagram and TikTok and and what the younger people are looking at. They're being programmed.

They are. What do you like? What don't you like? I need you to come back and watch this. Watch me instead of the television. It's it exists, Bob. It does. I understand it does, but I'll still go sit out on the lake and fish before and I'd lose my phone over it. Do I want my phone or do I want to go fishing? Well, the freaking phone. I'm going fishing. Well, good on you. I think the majority of younger people growing up don't want to go fishing.

I think they want to be like they wouldn't go fishing without their own. It's not two of them. Yeah. Well, Bob, you are it's better.

It's better. I'll tell you. Thank you so much, Bob. Take it easy. You that's that's called programming, Bob. Not putting your phone down. Programming is the J.R. Sportbreeze show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We're going to take a break due to our programing. On the other side of the break, we're going to have a conversation with former Ohio State linebacker Bobby Carpenter. I'm going to ask him about this game against Oregon. I'm going to ask him about Ole Miss. I'm going to ask him about the Red River rivalry. I'm going to ask him about everything.

Don't move. The J.R. Sportbreeze show, the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the J.R. Sportbreeze.

It's the J.R. Sportbreeze show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Getting ready for a full slate of college football action on Saturday, we've already talked about the Red River rivalry. We have another big matchup going down in Eugene, Oregon, to talk about those two games and more and everything going on. It's time to have a conversation with a man who played in the NFL, a man who knocked people out, knocked skulls around at the Ohio State University. You can now catch him all over the place on radio and television. Joining us right now is Bobby Carpenter. Bobby, thank you for the time. I think you brought me on. I'm excited to be on with you guys. And, you know, the more you start talking about knocking skulls around, I mean, at 41 years old, that seems almost like a distant memory as I watch these young fellas run around and see the speed and violence of the collisions. No doubt about it. Well, I'm sure you, how many more hits you got left?

You can get a call, right? You know, it's funny, Bill Parcells used to always say I have one good fight left in me, don't let it be you. I told somebody, I got one game left in me and I'll go run and do stuff with the guys in Ohio State still and train with them. I go, it's not the game that's the problem. It's the waking up the next day and trying to go train and prepare for another game.

It's never the activity, it's always the recovery. Now, Bobby, let's talk about those guys that every now and then you still show up with out in Columbus, the Ohio State University. What are your thoughts on what you've seen so far this season? We know this is pretty much the first big game going out to Oregon. You know, the season, obviously, they didn't have the big non-conference game this year.

And, you know, when you have conference realignment, Washington was supposed to be on, they got pulled off because of, obviously, the scheduling and the Big Ten merging with a lot of, you know, the top tier teams in the Pac-12. So, they've kind of had this slow build, this methodical build. And when you look at this offense with what they've been able to do, there's some questions on the offensive line to start the season. Chip Kelly comes in at the offensive coordinator, does a fantastic job. They've been able to run the ball extremely well with Trey Dunhurst and Quinn Shunjuckins.

Both of those guys have been highly impressive. They've got a top five offense in scoring. They've rushed the ball well. They've been passing the ball very well. Everyone's seen the Jeremiah Smith highlights.

The Mecca Ibuka, you know, is the senior leader at three touchdowns receiving last week. But really, that offensive line has been spectacular. So, when you can run the football, that travels.

When you have a veteran quarterback, a fifth-year senior, that travels who can use his legs, he's used them a little bit. They put some on film last week, you know, and we've watched them be able to throw the ball very well and very effectively. So, it's been pretty impressive with what they've been able to do. And defensively, you know, they haven't had crazy cuts. Michigan State has some good wideouts, a good quarterback. But the secondary is really good.

Caleb Downs coming in. The defensive line's been pretty good. The linebackers have been developing. And so, they've got this really, really talented team. Now, they're going to have to see if they can take this talented show on the road and take it out to Eugene, Oregon, and play in a very hostile environment at night.

Former champion with the Ohio State Buckeyes, Bobby Carpenter is here with us on the JR Support Reshow. All things considered, this is a welcome to the Big Ten when you take a look at Oregon. Do you expect them? It'll be a good game. But don't you think Ohio State is going to beat them? Especially, you mentioned Chip Kelly returning to Eugene. I know it's been a while, but Ryan Day and Chip Kelly going out up there. I would say Ohio State.

Yeah, you know, I think they're three, three and a half point favorites. Like, we've been waiting for this. We got a chance to see USC and Michigan play, which was a great iconic matchup. Like, these used to be Rose Bowl matchups. So, now we get to see them in the regular season. Penn State's heading out to USC this weekend. Now, Ohio State's heading out to Eugene. And I know everybody's really excited about it.

I am for sure. And having Chip Kelly out there. You know, I joked with Chip the other day. Like, he decided to go back.

You know, when was the last time? He said, well, we went there a couple times with UCLA. So, I'm excited to go back with this squad of players. Because the talent that Ohio State has helps a lot. And talent ultimately wins games.

I think this Ohio State team is as talented as anybody in the country. They've been playing really, really well. So, it's going to be a hostile environment. It's going to be tough. But this is the conference realignment, while it's ripped apart some rivalries. And, you know, there's some issues with it. And I'm not in favor of everything that's happened.

It does give us some gems like this. And this is going to be exciting to watch. Well, you talk about rivalries, Bobby. We see that even heading over to a new conference hasn't stopped Texas and the Sooners. I'm looking at Texas to beat Oklahoma. I don't think Oklahoma has the offense to keep up with them. What do you think about that rivalry?

And what do you think about this new alignment? At least we've kept this rivalry, even though they're in the SEC now. Yeah, it's the SEC version of the Red River rivalry. Down at the Texas State Fair, being in Dallas with the Cowboys for a number of years, I get to be around that. It was pretty sweet and getting a chance to see just how different and unique it was because it's that neutral site. You see the stadium split at the fairgrounds and it's at the old Cotton Bowl.

And, you know, as much as we try to modernize everything, it's in a stadium that's super old and doesn't have all the frills. You know, I like Texas in this, you know, even if Quinn Ewers is 90%, I think Texas is good enough to win it unless Hawkins, you know, he would have to do what Dylan Gabriel did last year. And ironically, like we're talking about him with Ohio State and Oregon. You know, he was the Oklahoma quarterback for a couple years. You know, you look at what he did last season, they won that game.

I mean, it's like 100 on the ground and 300 through the air. I mean, that's basically what Hawkins would have to be able to do, I think, to give them a shot. The reality is Texas is so deep and even if Ewers is nicked up, he's not 100%, I still think they have enough. And if he's so bad that he's got issues, they have to pull him out.

I mean, Arsh Manning has proven that he's more than an adequate backup and he gives you a little bit of juice with his legs as well. So, I like Texas in this one. I hope it's close just for my viewing pleasure. I don't want to see this thing getting stressed by more than 10 heading into the fourth quarter, but it should be an exciting game.

But the Longhorns, I think they're one of the best teams in the country. Do you trust Quinn Ewers to be healthy? I know you don't have a crystal ball, neither do I, but it seems that every time he gets on a roll, there's a small injury. I think one of the reasons he's still at Texas and not in the NFL is because of the injuries. Do you trust his durability through the rest of the season?

I think he'll be okay. He's not the biggest guy in the world. He doesn't have a huge frame, but he throws the ball well. He's not an amazing athlete, but he's a good athlete. He moves well for a quarterback. He's just going to have to continue to add mass to his body.

And that's the reality. Even though he's a fourth-year player, he reclassified, came to Ohio State early. And so, this is literally his third year in college. So, I think by the time he gets in the league, he finishes himself up, I think he'll add another 10 pounds to his frame.

I like Quinn. He's a hardworking kid. He's got a great arm. I think he'll be okay.

It's just some of these guys, the maturation process physically takes a little bit of time. Bobby Carpenter is here with us, played for the Buckeyes. You might remember from the Dallas Cowboys, as well as the Lions. When you look at some of these other matchups over the weekend, I take a look at USC. They've taken on Penn State. They've already lost to Michigan. They just lost to Minnesota. Can I kind of like wipe USC off of the map here for the rest of the year? Well, they're playing Penn State. If they find a way to win this game, they are at home. And the Big Ten record, when you're crossing two time zones this season, has been 1-7. The one outlier has been Indiana. They've smacked UCLA. And it was Kurt Cignetti that Indiana team's pretty darn good. But I don't think they're going to win it.

I'm holding some reservations back. The reality is Michigan went and they could not throw the ball on USC at all. And they still won that game. They just pounded them.

Minnesota is the nearest talented as Michigan. And they just went in and invoked their will. And they ran a quarterback sneak on fourth and goal from the half-foot line. When it's a tie game, a field goal wins.

If there's 53 seconds left, then they do that. And so that's them saying, we're tougher than you. As good as USC is, they always got big-boyed by Utah. That's most of the Big Ten. That's the teams you're going to play. So if they can find a way to stop Allen and Singleton, kudos to them.

And you know what? Indiana, I think, has done a better job there as their coordinator. They've still got some work to do as they can find a way to get some stops. And let's ignore Moss as a heck of a quarterback. They've got a good offense. But you can't just be big brain offensive guy, Lincoln Rowley, as head coach. You've got to coach the entirety of your team. And he can coach offense, but they have to find a way to get stops.

They've got to get tough. If they beat Penn State, they've got a shot. But if not, this year, I think, is a lost cause. You mentioned Texas being one of the top teams. Obviously, it's number one in the AP poll right now. What are the teams that you think can elevate to legitimately win the championship? We got Ohio State.

We got Georgia. What are you thinking? So like there's teams that I say are like playoff contenders, and then there's teams in my mind that are like national championship contenders.

And so I look at that like in two kind of different scopes. Can you make the playoffs? Could you get there? Yes. But once you get there, could you win it?

And so I kind of try to segregate that out. Like Texas, I think, can have a chance to win it. I think Ohio State can win it. Oregon, I think, can.

We'll find out a lot tomorrow. Because even if they lose to Ohio State, you've got a tight game. You're getting in.

You're going to probably be lost. Maybe they play again in the Big Ten championship. So I think they have a shot. I think Penn State has a shot. I'd say Georgia has a shot. Bama has been obviously hot and cold, but they have the talent to do it when they're really good. I think Tennessee has a chance to do it. I think Ole Miss, they're a little hot and cold like Bama. They have a shot, and they're playing LSU, so we'll find a lot out about them. I think Clemson can get in, but I don't think Clemson can win it. I think they're a really good team. We wrote them off too soon.

I don't think they have the same power to get it. Miami, I got to find out more from. Kim Ward's been great, but have you beaten anybody that I really feel good about?

And so that's kind of my list right now. Like handful of SEC, handful of Big Ten, maybe Miami. I don't think Clemson, I think Notre Dame can get in.

I don't think they can win it, and that's kind of where I'm living right now. Bobby Carpenter is joining us here on the JR Support Reshow Coast to Coast. Let's switch over to the NFL right quick. Two of the teams that you played for, the Dallas Cowboys and the Lions, are going to go at it against each other down in Dallas or up in Arlington.

What are your thoughts on what the Lions have been able to do and how you expect them to compete in the NFC this year? Oh, Dan Campbell. I never got a chance to play with Dan. He had left Dallas the year I got there. He's a college station guy, grew up in Texas, played at A&M, and him and his wife, Holly, they stayed in Dallas in the off-season. So I got a chance to know him. We're good buddies, played against him in Detroit. Dan Campbell's the guy you want to play for. He is tough. He is physical.

He might smoke a pack of Marlboro Reds with a chew in at the same time, and people are going to pass that off with him being this tough, meathead guy. But Dan is a smart football guy. He gets it.

He knows it. His players love him. And they're going into Dallas, and make no mistake about it, players hold grudges.

No matter whether or not you're done or maybe you have a better option, when you leave somewhere, you always hold it against them. And Dan going back to Dallas, his home state, he's got a really darn good squad. And I think Dallas is dangerous, but I don't think they're going to be able to come in. Listen, as well, Aaron Glenn, AG, their defensive coordinator, he was with me in Dallas in his last season.

He's a guy I grew up watching. He's done a great job revamping that defense, but really that line is offense. I mean, with Gibbs, they're tough.

They're physical. Goff, when he is locked on, he may not have the best, crazy physical skill set, but he's been really stinking good. I like to all Lions to win that thing. And honestly, guys, I think they're the best in the NFC.

Yeah. Well, you look at the injuries to the 49ers and McCaffrey, I would put the Lions right there up at the top. When it comes to the Dallas Cowboys, you know about the intensity and the expectations of the fan base.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong. I see the Cowboys, it seems that they're, they're just running in place at this point in time. What are your thoughts on where the franchise is in regards to trying to get to a championship? So you look at them like they, they had to divest some of their older players, some of their more expensive players when they trade Dak. You know, Parsons is hurt right now. I'm not sure if he'll be back this week. You know, Dak, I think, I don't think that's a top five guy, but I think he's probably top 10.

And when he gives you like somewhere between six and four, they're really good. The problem is if he's somewhere around like 10, 11, 12, I don't know if he's good enough when he's not at his best for them to win and beat good teams. So I think, yeah, they're going to make the playoffs. They'll probably go 10 and seven. Maybe they win the division. Maybe they go 11 and six. I don't see a playoff win in their future. I definitely don't see them making the NFC championship. And if that's the case, like I don't think Jerry Jones stays, stands pat with the current coaching structure with what they have. Oh yeah. Jerry Jones. He's itching to get to the end of the season.

So it's a push that button. Hey Bobby, I appreciate the time and your expertise. Where can people follow you? Keep up with you, your radio work, everything that you do, fill us in. So it's a local show on Columbus 97.1 The Fan, but I'm on X at B-Carp3. You can find, I got a YouTube show, do a ton of college football. Check it out at Bobby Carp Show. That's on 1230 to 130 daily. Dive into there a lot. And I'm on it Sirius XM 84 a couple of times a week from three to six.

So all over the place. Appreciate you having me on. Thanks for letting me talk.

Plug it. It was a pleasure. Thank you so much. And you enjoy the games this weekend. Take it easy, Bobby.

You too, have a good one. No doubt about it. That Bobby Carp is a former champion with the Ohio State Buckeyes, former linebacker as well for the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. It's the JR sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network.

Yeah, I agree with what Bobby just said. Dallas Cowboys, what are they running to? Not a championship. You're not as good as the lines. I got the lines beating them down in Dallas. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, we're going to talk about two teams that are going to be competing for a chance to get closer to a championship. And they're going to do that in about 30 minutes. We're going to talk about the Padres and the Dodgers. This is going to be a good one tonight.

The winner advances to the national league championship series. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport re-show here with you our coast to coast on the infinity sports network.

Thank you so much. In our last break, we were joined by someone who used to knock people out for the Ohio State Buckeyes, for the lions, for the Cowboys. Thank you so much to Bobby Carpenter for joining us in the last break to take a look at everything going on in the world of college football, including his Buckeyes, as well as two of his former teams as well, the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions. If you missed any part of that conversation, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app.

A U D A C Y. He said the lions are probably the best team in the NFC. Dallas Cowboys not equipped to compete for a championship. He thinks that by the time the season is over that Mr. Mike McCarthy might be out of work.

Maybe he might want to consult with head coach or former head coach of the New York Jets, Rob Salah. But that's for the end of the season. I want to tell you about something that is going to take place tonight. This is going to be pretty cool because in about 30 minutes from now, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the San Diego Padres are going to go at it in Los Angeles. This is game five of the division around.

This is winner take all. At one point in time, it looked like the San Diego Padres were in control until Wednesday when the Dodgers just battered them eight to nothing out in San Diego. And so now they return to Los Angeles. The Dodgers are trying to go to face the Mets. Padres are trying to face the Mets. Whoever wins is going to get home field because the New York Mets are the wildcard team in the situation.

And this this matchup might as well be a blood sport. The fans in San Diego, they hate the Dodgers. The Dodgers hate the Padres. We had people throwing baseballs at the play. This was just nuts. We had players throwing baseballs at managers. This was a wild situation. And we got a match up between Yamamoto, the man who got a 12 year contract, three hundred and twenty five million dollars. He never threw a pitch in Major League Baseball. They gave him this money. Versus you, Darvish.

What gives you? Darvish has been up and down, did have a solid game two, seven innings, one earned run. Yamamoto only pitched three innings, gave up five runs in his only appearance here in the series. So something has to give because somebody's season is going to end tonight. If you take a look at the Dodgers, you can say, oh, man, they're pitching all year. It's stunk. I mean, now you got Walker Buehler coming back from injury. The guy's E.R.A.

is like five and six. Terrible. All this money the Dodgers have spent, you expect the World Series and then the the Padres, they've gone for broke. Bringing in guys before the trade deadline, Luis Arias and just bringing in everybody early in the season, right before the season.

Dylan Cease, A.J. Preller, all these relievers. He is going for it. He's going for the championship. And so tonight we'll see if the Dodgers bats can do the job and whether Yamamoto can even show up and pitch more than, I don't know, four innings. I'm not going to count on it. This is going to be a good one. One of the big villains in the series. I think he's a villain everywhere he goes.

Fernando Tatis Jr. He says it's win or go home. I mean, go out there. And like you said, when it's like, oh, it's still a lot of baseball to play in front of us. So it's going to be a fun game five. Let's see how fun it is.

Hickey, name some of the words the Dodger fans are going to yell at him when he gets to the plate. Oh, geez. The clean ones. Oh, clean. Clean, right.

I don't get fired on Friday. I'm sure they will use some sort of version of cheater. Oh, yeah. Maybe like juice head. Oh, juice boy. Juice boy. Fraud.

A fraud. Wow. These are the clean ones?

These are the clean ones here. Yeah. I think they're going to say, I think that's if you're Fernando Tatis and that's all you're hearing, that's probably a win.

And what, well, what about Jurex and Profar? What are they going to chant at him? Oh, boy. They're going to throw stuff at him again? Like a baseball game? Like a baseball game? Like a baseball game? They're going to throw stuff at him again?

Like baseballs? The chant will start with peace. Then it'll go of, and you can fill in the third word there. Oh, oh, cake. Yes. Piece of cake. Piece of cake. Everybody loves cake. Yeah. A piece of cake. It's going to be fun.

Wow. You know, this is tight. If you're a Padres fan, do you dare show up? Do you, do you want that abuse?

Do you show up? Now, do you think the abuse is equal towards the players or towards the fans, I should say, as it is the players? Oh my God. Well, the players are protected. Right. I mean more like, obviously the Padres fans or the Padres players, right? They, like the Dodger fans have a lot of vitriol towards the players.

I guess it's the same for the fans too, I'm guessing. I don't know. I guess my question is like, I've not seen many videos of fights at these games, thankfully. Or you have? You have? I don't know. Listen, the Padres and the Dodgers.

Just because we haven't seen the video doesn't mean there's no fights. True. Would you, would you wear a Padres hat to the game tonight? To Sydney Outfield, or sit in left field at Dodger Stadium? Would you wear a Padres hat? If I was going to the game, I would.

I don't believe in, I don't believe in going scared. Like if I'm going to go to the game and I'm a Padres fan, I'm not going to try to be incognito, sit there quiet anytime that the Padres score and just like that, like that's not enjoyable to me. Like if you're going to go be a fan, wear the hat, cheer when they score. And get cursed out the whole time. Get cursed out for four hours. I mean, you kind of know what you're getting into, right?

Like anytime you go into enemy territory, you have some sort of idea. Have you gone, have you gone to a game and been cursed out? Oh yeah, I've, well, I've gotten spit on in previous times. Excuse me?

Yes. Who spit, a Phillies fan? It was actually, I'm not a Phillies fan. It was a Rutgers University student back in the day. A Rutgers University student spit, where were you? Were you at Rutgers or Happy Valley? I was at Rutgers.

First and only time I'll ever go there. Those New Jersey, what do you call somebody from New Jersey? New Jerseyan, I think? New Jerseyite? Well, there's some other words we could use that. What, people from New Jersey?

Are not, are not applicable here. Oh my God. What'd you get spat on for?

What did you do? Well, it was the first ever Big 10 game for Rutgers. So they were juiced up. And of course you could imagine the Sandusky jokes were flying. Oh my God. I'm not going to pretend to be innocent here. I will say this was around the same time the whole Ray Rice thing did happen.

Oh my God. So there was just a lot of barbs being traded back between Rutgers fans and Penn State fans. Not the classiest tailgate scene, we'll say. You had a tailgate, not inside.

Yes, this was, yes, in the tailgate fields well before we got in the stadium. Some guy said something. So I said, you know, I had enough. I'm going to say something back. I say something back.

He walks up, spits on me. I'm like, all right, I'm ready to go. I turn around. All my friends left.

It was like five dudes. And I'm like, all right. I'm like, I've never gotten to find my life, but right there, I was ready to go. And I look, I see him alone.

And it was one of the most defeating moments ever. I had to just walk away. Oh my God. What am I going to do at that point? Karma got him, Hickey.

Don't worry about it. I hope so. But at this point in time, somebody spit on him. His wife left him, took his money. Kids don't like him.

Robots are going to raise his kids in a few years. Yeah. Who's laughing now?

Who's laughing now? Yeah. Karma got him. You know what, Hickey? I was about to curse him out on your behalf.

It was a long time ago. Don't get fired over that clown. No, I'm not. I'm angry now, Hickey. I'm angry. Now you got me mad.

I need to take a break. I'm so angry. You spit on Hickey. That's disrespectful.

Now I'm hyped up, Hickey. Now I got to go play football. Now you want to go to LA and wear a Padres hat and ready to mix it up?

No, not quite. It's the JR Sport Reshow here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. Hey, I got the Padres beating the Dodgers at home. I do want to talk some more baseball, get into some football as well. It's the JR Sport Reshow, the Infinity Sports Network.
