Massive Wide Receiver Moves (Hour 2)

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. Much love and many thanks to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. The show gets started every single weekday at 6 p.m Eastern, 3 Pacific.

I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to our super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down for us in New York City. We've had a busy day. It's about to be a busy night.

Game four of the World Series is going to, well, first pitch is going to be in about, I don't know, about an hour, an hour and change. Well, I do know. Forgot momentarily.

I had a lapse. I had myself and Anthony Richardson, except I didn't sit out. Well, Anthony Richardson is going to be sitting out for a while because Joe Flacco has taken his job. It's one of the big stories in the NFL today. Stephon Diggs is out for the season, touring ACL. Damn, he's going to be a free agent too. Just got traded from the Bills to the Texans.

Wow, it stinks. Also, we had another issue going on here. We had a trade in the NFL. Deontay Johnson is no longer a member of the Panthers. This man is now a member of the Baltimore Ravens. Ravens trying to make some moves here, not trying to make some moves.

They did make a move. We're going to talk about it all. George Bremer is going to join us next hour to talk about the Indianapolis Colts going with Joe Flacco instead of Richardson. You know, we had a caller ask about the Steelers. I'll talk about the Steelers.

We'll get into them. Next hour, later this hour, New York Giants played last night, Daniel Jones. Hickey, I had to read that. Is he one and twelve or is he one? I think he's one and fifteen in primetime games.

I forget the exact number, but it is very bad, very bad. And I can't even remember the one when he got. Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't matter. Well, it matters for the team that he beat.

It's pretty embarrassing. No, no, I don't know. Grand scheme of things. No, you're right. It does not matter.

It doesn't matter. He's going to be a backup somewhere. When? Next year? Backup QB? Yeah, I bet you he gets one job where it's like come in to compete for the job and maybe he wins, you know, quote unquote wins it. But then by week eight, it's either hurt or benched. You think somebody is going to bring him on to compete as a starter?

It happens far too often. I mean, Mitch Trubisky got that option. How ass does this team have to be? Pretty, pretty ass, you know, with no real like a Raiders situation from this year. Raiders. I mean, I really I don't think we'll get to this level, but I mean, if if the Colts I mean, if they give up on Anthony Richardson, I don't think they're drafting a quarterback this upcoming year. I pray that's how the situation that Daniel Jones comes to.

But that's a team where if you're trying to win and you can't really acquire a quarterback, I mean, all of a sudden he looks better than some other options. Daniel Jones? It's like vegetables when you're five. It's vegetables when you're five.

That one. Yeah, nobody vegetables when you're five years old. It's like peas, man. He's like peas. Nobody wants peas. I don't even know. How do you make good peas now?

It has to be in stuff. Rangers don't eat peas by itself. Has to be in some rice or something.

I don't know. Yeah, it's a psycho move to just have peas on the side. They're just peas. And that's that has to have rice. You got to be mixed in with other vegetables, not just be pasta. You know, I've seen peas and pasta.

Right, right, right. So why they try to do kids dirty? Why did you say eat these peas? What are you doing? You won't eat it.

Why are you getting to me? Right. Shut up. Eat your piece.

I just eat them because I said so. And nobody wants peas and peas are like, maybe that's why the Jets colors are green. I don't know all the colors they could have made the New York Jets. Do we know why the color is green? I've never heard of an explanation. Yeah, we don't know. Jets could have been red, it could have been red, white and blue, but they agree. Like peas, something that nobody wants. But let's talk about something that people did want. Congratulations.

I told you about it. Imagine going from one of the worst teams, probably the worst team in the NFL, to a team that is out here competing for a championship. Congratulations to Deontay Johnson.

This man is moved. He's gone. Carolina Panthers are moving him to the Ravens. The Ravens get Deontay a 2025 six round pick from the Panthers. In exchange, they give up their fifth round pick in 2025.

This sounds like a whole lot of nothing for this team, for the Baltimore Ravens, whose top wide receiver. And take your pick. Is it Zay Flowers?

Is it Rashad Bateman? You take your pick. Mark Andrews is the number one target when it comes to I'm in a load of crap, I need to offload the ball to somebody. But Lamar Jackson is again having one of these MVP caliber seasons. And we know the Baltimore Ravens, who have a record of five and two, they've been going for it. I mean, think about it last year. Think about the past couple of seasons, picking up guys. Odell Beckham Jr.? Hey, let's bring him in. It'll help expand the offense. Well, Odell is cooked.

Deontay Johnson is 28 years old. For the poor Panthers, 357 yards, three touchdowns. His best year was with another NFC North team.

It was with the Steelers. 1,161 yards passing or excuse me, receiving to go along with eight touchdowns that he hauled in. He's capable of grabbing a thousand yards. He just has to have somebody who can throw him the ball.

He was happy to see Andy Dalton out there, not necessarily Bryce. And so Deontay Johnson, who was just sitting out with a little bit of an injury, I think that's his way of moving towards a trade. Deontay Johnson is gone. The Panthers don't need him.

They stink. I guess Adam Thielen will probably be next. Listen to this news as it broke earlier today on CBS Sports. And really the relationship started to go south. I wonder why. So Deontay Johnson's been on the trade block for several weeks for the Carolina Panthers.

This is a relationship that it was a failure to launch. They attempted and did trade for Deontay Johnson this off season, thought he was going to help out Bryce Young. Two weeks into the season, things were not going well between Deontay Johnson and the team, between Bryce Young and the team.

Then you bench Bryce Young. Deontay Johnson has a baller game against the Las Vegas Raiders and everyone seems happy at that point. And then things continue to go back to the way that they were.

Communication issues was how it was described to me. The word was out across the league that Deontay Johnson was not long for the Carolina Panthers. And so now he ends up with a Baltimore Ravens team that seemingly doesn't need him. But you know, that's what good teams do. Doesn't need I mean, they didn't give up a lot.

They basically brought him in swap fifth round picks. No, no big deal here. Don't need him. He's another weapon. Come on.

Not a bomb. I think he's bigger than these other guys, too. Why don't they need him? Because Lamar and Henry are just going to run wild.

I don't know about that. What were they going to give up to bring in a wide, a top wide receiver? We saw the biggest one. He's gone. Brandon Iyuk, that flew out over the summertime. 49ers going to win.

Out over the summertime. 49ers gave him a contract. Now he out for the year. OK. You think about some of these other wide receivers, man, going Devante Adams is with the New York Jets. You went from one train wreck with the Raiders to the New York Jets. My goodness.

Can't make this stuff. Hickey, how does Devante Adams feel? He's like, I flew all the way out here for this. The memes have been tremendous where it's like he's pulled out.

I've seen the one that's like a goat where it's like you go from one now two and six team to another, and it's like the goat gets pulled out of the hole, like starts jumping around, jumps right back into the hole. He's I mean, he can't be surprised, though, right? But it's surprised at what? He thought he was going to be with his friend. It would work out. Look at all the talent that the Jets have.

Of course it was going to work out. But he can't be surprised. You could be surprised that you lost to the Patriots.

I don't think anybody said that coming. Losing to the Steelers with this team. Like you talk about the talent. Like, where's the talent?

Where is it, JR? People always talk about how talented they are. And then you see him play and it's like, well, this offense is not very good.

They can't block anybody. Defense stinks now, too. And the defense just like you said to go right down the field, by the way, since they fired the last head coach, the one that was going to help them turn things around.

Now the defense sucks. Thanks, Aaron. Really?

You really have to prove a point here. Thanks, Woody. You really helped turn this team around. Remember what he Johnson said?

This is the most talented Jets team he's ever had. Oh, he does. Oh, he did say that. Great job, Woody. What a joke.

Losing to the Patriots. What a joke. Can we put a clown nose on him and sell that? That's that's what Barstool did, right? But that was the commissioner. That's right. Yes, that's right. Uh huh. Wow. Wow. Wow.

Damn. Man, this is really going to it is unbelievable how bad they're going to be. It's going to be so bad. Like they're going to be. They're not even going to be bad enough to get a great pick in the draft.

They're not. They're going to be middle of the road again. Aaron Rodgers is going to ride off into the sunset. They're going to have to go through another year of just stinking a joint up to try to get the next quarterback. Unless Jordan Travis wakes up and he's fully healed and they go, oh, man, this is the guy. They talk about a dark place that the funny thing is, Aaron Rodgers is the one talking about the dark place. When it gets really dark, he's going to leave. He's going to be the one out the door finding the light and the organization is going to be left behind to patch things together. This stinks, man.

It's bad for them. Do you think this is his last year? He's under contract for one more year, bro. I think when this season is over, do you think they won enough to just look decent to finish just below 500? I mean, so they're two and six, so they have to be four games better, essentially over the rest of the season, over the last nine games.

So that's I'm trying to do quick. But they basically got to go seven and two, six and three just to be around 500. I do not see that coming.

I don't either. And I see Joe Douglas getting fired. And if Joe Douglas gets fired, you just bring in a new GM who has to babysit this crap situation?

Here, bro, take a mop to this and fix it like this. This is the most New York Jets thing. Do you even remember when the Jets brought in Joe Douglas? I believe Gase was still the head coach and he was temporarily the GM. Do you remember Adam Gase being in charge? Do you remember that? Because they brought in Joe Douglas. Didn't they bring him in after the draft?

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Adam Gase, maybe not after the maybe not after the draft, but Adam Gase was like the boss of the organization until they hired Douglas. What are we doing? What what order is this? What order is this?

This is dumb. He was hired, JR, in June. Joe Douglas. He was hired after. You're right. That is just unbelievable.

Oh my God. Now we know why Bill Belichick didn't want to come to this team 25, 26 years ago. What did he know about Woody Johnson that we did not know 25 and 26 years ago? It looks like Bill Belichick made the right decision.

OK, I know people don't care for him and his words and what he says, and now he's too outspoken. Hickey, I forgot. Oh, Hassan Reddick, a New York Jet. How about that? A New York Jet wasn't happy with the words of Bill Belichick.

Come on. You like that? You like that tweet? Oh, what did he say? He needs to find something to do.

He doesn't have a job. That's what he said, right? And he's got, yeah, he's got too much time on his hands.

He keeps putting my name in his mouth. Oh my God. Yeah, just one of the most successful coaches in football minds in NFL history. Yeah. Did you notice at all Hassan Reddick on Sunday, JR? No, no. And I noticed what Bill Belichick said.

He was overrunning the quarterback. Why is everybody so damn sensitive? All these players, Hickey, you would think, and I guess, no, it's the law of balance and power. You would think with the amount of money that they make right now, that the players would be less concerned. They'd be like, man, I'm stinking filthy rich. I could be Anthony Richardson right now.

I could quit forever. I'm good. But no, they got to respond to tweets and messages and whether it's some bum sitting at home eating Cheetos out his belly button, whether it's one of the most successful coaches of all time and Bill Belichick, whether it's a sports writer, everybody just has the need to pick up the phone and argue back. In the words of Erykah Badu, put the phone down.

Just put the phone. What is the big deal? Why, Hickey, why do people, I know the answer, but why do people care so much about what other people say about them?

People that don't have no direct bearing. You know, it's one thing if your mother says, hey man, you suck. If your mother says that, you're like, damn Ma, give me a break.

Why? Whoa, whoa. I thought you're my mother. You're supposed to love me. But if a stranger says, Hickey, if a stranger walked Bobby down the street and said, hey, JR, you suck. Hickey, you know what I'd say? Either, okay, thanks or thank you. I appreciate that.

What do I care for? You're a stranger. Ain't changing my life. Makes no sense.

I don't get it. I'm with you. And that's a good point to think about. You would think the money would make them apathetic. If anything, who cares?

You're making 10, 20, depending on, you know, who you are, 20 times what the reporter that is tweeting about you saying, why do you care? It doesn't make any sense. But like you said, it's only now more popular.

Yeah. You know, it's, it comes with the same, the same way that everybody has an opinion has just, everybody feels the need to respond and everybody, I don't want to say soft, but that's just the way society is right now. It's awful. Not everybody's opinion matters.

It's just doesn't. That's when somebody has access to the internet. Not everybody deserves it.

When I, oh, no, you know, Hickey, let me, let me back that up. The internet is a human right. It is.

Some people don't deserve to be on it. Okay. Some of the stupidity that people say, oh my God, get a life for real. Hickey, remember when get a life meant something? Get a life meant something? Yes.

That was always a good diss. Yeah. Get a life. Get a life.

That was basically the PG version of F off. Yeah. Just get a life. It never has been more applicable than ever before.

People are so easily distracted because we have so many options to be distracted. It's like, get a life. Maybe that's what they should have told Trayvon Diggs. It's like, man, get a life. What would he, he would have punched him in the face, right?

Lawsuit. Could you imagine brawling with a reporter for a tweet he put out right after the game? That would be all time. Hickey, if I can remember, that's going to be my retort. Not that I'd be, I don't get into nothing with nobody. I'm going to have to use that one day.

I'd probably use it on a stupid call one day. It's man, get a life. It's going to be like that guy that dated. So he's like, JR, shut up. I told him to shut up. And he said, JR, you shut up. And at the end, I'm going to punch you out. I'm going to say, Hey man, get a life. That's going to send Hickey.

That can send people like over the edge and get a life. Whoa. That's serious. Serious.

That is a serious, serious businessman. Too many people just in the phones. Put the phones down. It's the JR sport re-show here with you on the infinity sports network coast to coast. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. You know, speaking of getting a life, you know, I want to talk to you about another wide receiver. Unfortunately he's hurt. His name is Stefan Diggs, but down in Miami, there's a football team. It is showing a lot of life right now. It might be showing more life than any football program in all of Florida. It's in Miami.

It's not the Dolphins. We're going to talk about the you on the other side of the break. You're locked into the JR sport re-show. I got plenty of life on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. I do want to show love. You know, yesterday we talked about the Ohio state university. We know they can certainly still win out and go ahead and win a national championship.

I want to show love to the Miami hurricanes. Am I putting them in the same category as Ohio state? Uh, no, but I think this is pretty cool that this, this, this team has been able to, I don't know, evoke some hope, kind of turn things around. It's kind of crazy. And, and I don't believe I'm happy for them playing out here in the ACC.

They're 8-0. Every time I see a game or turn our highlights on it's cam ward running wild. And they're like, Hey, Heisman award. And I'm like, uh, he's going to be a candidate. He ain't going to win it. Probably go to Ashton gente and Travis Hunter. If he could stay healthy, I don't think you'll win it though. But then I go, Hey, this is, this is a team coming out of the ACC.

Like who the hell is going to look at Miami and look at their schedule and just go up. Yep. Yep. One of the best. One of the best.

They're not out here, you know, hard hitting. It's not the SCC. It's the ACC. But I give him credit. Michael Irvin is, is there seemed like every hickey.

Does he have, well, the last job he had, he got fired, right? The super bowl. That is correct. Yes.

Did they settle on that? What happened there? Right. It was a settlement that he says is he was innocent.

Uh-huh. He's accused of sexual harassment of a hotel employee in a lobby. No less. He's just like, okay, we got him fired from the NFL network. Michael Irvin is that every game we got Edren James at games now Ray Lewis is that games doing his, I forgot. Hickey was the name of that dance called the people in Baltimore.

Gonna be mad at me. The pit, not the pigeon dance. What'd they call it? The Raven flock.

I don't know. Did it have a name? The dance had a name. It did.

Oh, I don't know that people in Baltimore are going to be mad at us now. Apologies. I mean, well, I can't do the dance, but I know what it looks like.

Yeah. You left, you do the left and then you swoop down and then you go right. And then you, you slide out a little bit, right? Slide back the other way.

And then you kind of lift up and go, ah, I think he screamed a little more manly than that, but yeah, you got the, just Hickey. I am. I need my vocal cords for my living. Okay. Fair. I am not Ray Lewis screaming out here. And I know he had the screen for a living too, but damn it.

I'm not blowing out my vocal cords. The squirrel dance. That's what it was. The squirrel dance. Yeah. That's what it's called.

That can't be right. It is squirrel dance. I don't know why I looked into it. I did not know that that was the name. Interesting. Okay.

It sounded a lot less manly than I thought it would be like, imagine telling your teammates, Hey, you know, before the game, I'm going to get the crowd riled up. You ready for this? I'm going to give them the squirrel dance. The squirrel. I don't know.

I don't, I don't know the origination. Oh, first thing that came up. Oh my God.

Do I want to see this? Ray Lewis teaches Mary J Blige the squirrel dance. Now I love Mary J Blige from where I'm from in Yonkers. I love Mary J Blige, but let me tell you this. Mary J Blige is not known for her dancing. Okay. She is no Beyonce?

Is Beyonce known for dancing? I guess. Right. Right.

I don't know. No, Jennifer Lopez. There we go. There we go. Now I'm going to have Beyonce people messaging me, right?

The beehive. Should I say something about Taylor Swift? She don't, I know she don't dance at all. Does she not have good dance moves? She doesn't dance at all.

No. So what do you do? You go to one of her concerts. Do other people dance? She has dancers. Oh, I think she does.

I don't know. She moves like there is, you know, there is like movement. She's not just sitting, you know, idle singing her songs, but yeah. I think the singing and dancing is for a select few.

Okay. Taylor's not one of them. Jennifer Lopez, who's a great dancer.

I don't know. Shakira? She can move it. Yeah, Shakira is. She's not evading her taxes, but.

Evading her taxes? Didn't she go to jail? Shakira? No. Shakira went to jail.

No. No, she's got, she got, you know what I'm talking about? She got in big trouble. No, I know she, but she's always dating those footballers.

A guy plays in Portugal and another guy plays here. Like maybe that's why she don't pay taxes. She's just hanging out with these other guys.

I don't know. She expects them to pay the taxes. Don't footballers don't pay their taxes either. That's true.

That's a problem. There was a whole thing about, I think it was Messi. I think there was an issue with Messi paying his taxes, man. So it's just, Hey, look, when you're making, you know, a billion dollars in cash, who needs taxes, right?

Yeah. She reportedly did not pay 14.5 or she did pay, excuse me. The sediment was $14.5 million, but she apparently, yeah.

Committed tax fraud in 2018. Man. That's a lot of money to make to not pay that much. That's a good point. I don't even think Wesley Snipes owed that much, man.

They put him away. Shoot. Goodness gracious. Wow.

Anyway, how do we go from taxes? I was talking about my, my, the squirrel dance. Yeah, there we go. A hurricane. Miami hurricane named Ray Lewis with a squirrel dance. Well, anyway, they beat Florida state. We know Florida state stinks. We know the gators stink. And so the U as recruits are just dropping left and right and D committing to all the other Florida schools.

The hurricanes are like, this is, this is the place for us to be. If you play in Florida, if you're in high school in Florida and you want to be a part of a winning program, don't go to Tallahassee. Don't do it. Don't go to Gainesville.

Don't do it. Come to Miami because Miami is about to be attractive again. It is.

Take a listen. Mario Cristobal after the win against Florida state, he says, we're the best in the state. All recruits in state out of state can now clearly see the trajectory of this program versus the trajectory of the other programs.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Tallahassee is not far from me here in, in Atlanta. It's a short drive. I have an affinity for the great people at Tallahassee. And to hear what he just said is, is it hurts, but it's true.

It's true. If you're in Florida right now and you're saying to yourself, Oh man, I got the pick of the litter. Where do I want to go? I want to go to Gatorland. I want to go to Tallahassee. Do I want to go to Miami? Easy Miami. I hope they don't build you a statue that looks like Dwayne Wade.

You'd be good. Cam Ward, he ain't getting no statue. He's going to be in competition for a Heisman, almost 2,800 yards passing 24 TDs, five interceptions.

You run on all over the damn place. His coach as well. He says, this guy's great. This is what he told Peyton Manning's company.

I've been lucky to be around some great players. This guy, he's, he is really like one of one. He is, his mindset is that of a linebacker that's trying to kick your ass on every single play. That's what he is. He's an alpha dog. He wants to do nothing but win is completely disinterested in personal accolades. He just wants to push people around them.

He wants to make people better. He's like, you know, those, the elite elite guys, they have a common trade. One of the common traits they all have, I would say is they're just restless. You know, they're just always uncomfortable and they make people around them uncomfortable in the right kind of way because he pushes people and he pushes himself, holds himself to really high standards.

I wish I could hold him. I'm happy about them when it comes down to Florida. I really am. But when it comes to like a championship this, we know they're going to get into the playoff. God bless them.

They are. They got Duke next, got Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and then they have Syracuse. They might finish the season undefeated. Do I think they're going to run this into a championship?

I think not. Hickey, who the hell, the closest and best win that they have is like a comeback against Cal. And that's one they should have lost if the officiating got it correct.

And how do you, how do you feel about that? I mean, just they may go undefeated and it's going to look good, but then it's just going to go to the playoff and get punched in the mouth by somebody. You're 100% right. And that ACC title game, whether it's against Pitt, whether it's against Clemson, who's playing a lot better after they got their doors blown off in week one against Georgia. I mean, it's crazy to say they may be an underdog in the ACC title game, even if they're sitting there 12-0.

So it's been a bumpy ride. But like you said, even though the record is unblemished, they have not given you a lot, a whole lot of reason to have confidence in them that this is a team that could compete with the best teams in the league. I'll tell you this, though. It's nice that they are in the standing of Florida and maybe that needs to be the emphasis. This is what we're building towards. Good. What else can you say?

I mean, good. Just the ACC ain't what it used to be. Clemson is not what it used to be. They need, they need Trevor Lawrence back and then they need the guy who is, I don't know. Well, not that guy. You don't want him on a college campus at all. Deshaun Watson, I don't know.

Hickey, how come he waited until he was a pro to do this stuff? Not that you would know, but damn. We never heard a thing at Clemson. No, and I'm sure if you're Dabo Swinney, you're thankful for that, obviously. But yeah, yeah. Interesting.

It is interesting. Well, that's the last time Clemson was worth a damn with those two guys at quarterback. Hey, look, good luck to Miami. I think they're on a better track.

Well, it depends on who their quarterback is as well in the future, but I think they're on a better track right now, sure as hell, than both Florida and then also FSU because you look at both of them cases, both of those coaches, they might be gone sooner than later. It's the JR Sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Sooner than later, it's come for Stephon Diggs. The man is out for the season with a torn ACL. We're going to talk about the Texans on the other side of the break. We're going to spend more time taking a dive into what the hell is going on with the Indianapolis Colts of the World Series. First pitch is almost 30, 40 minutes away. We're going to get into the Steelers.

We're going to talk about the Giants. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Hickey, somebody just called to tell us about the Ray Lewis dance. Are you serious? Somebody called about the Ray Lewis dance? Yes, and they tried to offer a correction as you looked it up and it was called the Squirrel Dance, right?

His pregame dance coming out of the Ravens Tunnel. A caller from Wisconsin tried to claim that the dance was actually not indeed called the Squirrel Dance, but the Chicken Dance. Does that call I have Google?

I guess not because he was dead set on telling me that we were wrong and he was right. Tell him to call back. He can call. He knows how to call us.

855-212-4227. The Chicken Dance is a whole put. That's a chance. That's a dance you teach kids. It has a whole song that goes along with it. That's that. Yes, that's that's the chicken dance. Ray Lewis did not take his ass out onto the field singing a kids song. What are we doing?

They play. I know what happened. They played Nellie's Hot in Here and this man came out with flames out of Edgar Allan Poe's hell and did the Squirrel Dance and he did it to Nellie's Getting Hot in Here. There was no chicken dance.

What are you talking about? Why scroll the Squirrel Dance? I don't know, but I know it was obscure enough that that's what it was. I remember it's the Squirrel Dance. The Chicken Dance?

Oh, Chicken Dance is for kids. Get it together. Come on. If you can call us, you can use Google. I think. You should call me on a rotary phone. 855-212-4227.

855-212-4227. Hickey, when's the last time you saw a rotary phone? The one like that, that spins with the numbers. Oh my God. It's been that long. You don't even know what a rotary phone is.

How about that? What is a rotary phone? Like one just starts on the wall? Yeah, it's the one that you spin.

You got to put your finger in there and then you got to turn it and click and then you got to put another finger in there. Have you ever used one? I have never used one. I've seen, I'm trying to think to my grandparents, like not even have one, but like, do they have one? When you were a kid, they probably did have one.

So, so 20 years ago, 25 years ago. Yeah, bro, you could kill somebody with that phone. You could pick that phone and crack the living hell out of somebody with that sucker.

That is, we are long gone. You could do some damage by flinging a cell phone. If you hit somebody in the right way, you can go to town on somebody with a rotary phone. You can find me one. I think there's, isn't there one in the, the hallway, in the studio where you're at? Did you go to the cafe? Um, rotary, like in the glass? Yeah, in the glass. There's a rotary phone in there. Yeah.

So I got like display, I believe. I think you're right about that. I need you to break it. I need you to break into that glass and send that to me. Sure. I mean, I'm just gonna pretend you didn't say that on radio. So when I do do it that I can't be guilty of doing what you just said, but absolutely. I will not do that. Wink, wink. Okay.

Thank you so much. Now I like collecting. Man, if I had time and space, I would have held onto a lot of things.

I would have. Oh, so you're a collector. So I see you in like 20 years from now, like an American pickers or like, you know, these, uh, I'm trapped in my house. Can't get out.

No, no, no. Not the hoarders, not the hoarders. Like American pickers, like other shows, like, you know, the, they go to the pot war, I guess in this case, like they go to like, um, they'll go to like the, uh, the storage lots that people don't pay. And then you open it up and see what's in there.

And you know, you got to evaluate quickly what's valuable, what's not, you're not going to be one of those people. Nah, nah, I just, I just got vinyl. That's, that's, I stopped that.

That's nice. Just got vinyl. Is anything new on vinyl?

Anything cool? No, no. Oh, oh, like a thriller.

I got thrilled. Okay. Thriller.

Teddy Pendergrass. Oh, Barry white. Yeah.

Motown. I got, I got to go back further than that. Yeah. Smooth.

Yeah. I got vinyl. I ain't collecting nothing else. I'm a, I'm a minimalist. I try to be minimalist, man. I had, I had magazines, I had old magazines and stuff. Got my work cut out for me. Anyway, eight five five two one two 42 27.

Someone who has plenty of time to collect stuff, got plenty of money to do so. It's Stefan Diggs. This man blew out his ACL and stinks. Houston just took on Indianapolis Colts. And you had one guy who quit at least for a play, Anthony Richardson. And you got another guy who just went down with a non-contact injury and Diggs is out for the year. This is their big acquisition that came on through from Buffalo.

They ended up adjusting his money. Stefan Diggs is now going to be a free agent at the end of the season. And his season is over.

496 yards to go along with three touchdowns. You think about this team already dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position, Nico Collins on injury reserve with that busted leg. Tank Dell is still there, Robert Woods. And the Texans, they may, they may just kind of hold off on what are they going to trade away somebody? I don't know if there's a wide receiver available like that.

Unless you take a look at, at Cooper cup, he'd be the best available. It was like the Texans are certainly going for it this year. Otherwise they wouldn't have acquired Stefan Diggs to already fit in with Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

You still got Joe Mixon now running the football. Maybe they hand that off to him. Maybe they just say, well, trade for Mike Williams. I assume they're going to get somebody else. I wouldn't get advice from Aaron Rogers about Mike Williams.

He threw him under the bus. Adam Thielen is available, but he's a veteran. You want to put him in that mix.

I think the Texans are going to get somebody. Uh, keep in mind, this is actually from, from last week because when Cooper cup returned, Sean McVay told everybody that the rumors that we're trying to move this guy, don't believe him. Take a listen to this. Here's what I'll tell you. Teams reached out.

Some of the things that I've seen out there, they're just not true. Um, you know, we've addressed that with those individuals. Um, teams have called, um, about him. Um, and, and really we, we let him know what the dialogue was there. And then there's a lot of stuff out there where there's not a lot of accountability to the reports.

And that's, that's unfortunate. Do you think the performance tonight makes you guys more apt to keep, to possibly entertain off? I don't, I don't think about those things. I think about coaching our team. You know, I think a lot of the things that were out there, speculation was, um, exactly what that was speculation.

We're an inside out organization. I'm really glad to have Cooper cup back with us. Um, and that's what I expect to stay that way.

Oh, whatever. I like when the teams that are going, everybody thinks they got hope and that they can go on some magical run like out of Rams and not going on a run. They'd be lucky if they get into the post season as a wild card again.

And if they do, they'll get punched the hell on out. They need to just move on, like get some assets and built for the future. This is still for the 49ers to win specifically. If you want to think about the NFC West, I'm not thinking about that. Send Cooper cup to a team that's, that's worth a damn. And then the Steelers too. All the good wide receivers that are worth anything are gone. Davante Adams are from one bad team to another. Congratulations.

8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Bob is here from Wisconsin. You're the JR sport.

We show us up, Bob. Hey buddy, I hope you and yours are doing well. Thank you. I'm doing fine.

I'm retired and living the dream. Good for you. Tell you one thing, man.

Yes. We go back there to that little chicken dance thing. And well, I guess I'm older. We used to do that stuff at the weddings and, and have fun. And then I went down, saw that he was down there and those people line dance. Boy, they can kick some serious what they're line dancing.

Slow down, Bob. I know what a line dance is. Have you, do you know the dance Ray Lewis did?

Do you remember it? I do not, sir. I don't. And sometimes when they name these dances after a different dance, I get lost and that's why I called him. Oh, okay. Yeah. Cause Ray Lewis, he was not doing no chicken dance.

Okay. I never seen a line dance. Oh, Ray Lewis. I don't think he would. Well, you wouldn't chicken dance against them. Well, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do his dance or chicken dance against him. I wouldn't do either.

I would just, well, I wouldn't be on the field with him anyway. So I've met him before. Nice guy.

I didn't meet him outside the club. So nevermind. Well, thank you, Bob. I appreciate you. Hey, good luck to you, man. Hey, good talking. He was well, no doubt about it. No problem. Yeah.

Ray Lewis did have that incident here in Atlanta. Yeah. Hickey. I met him. He's a nice guy. Just stop that sentence.

Just put the breaks on, put the period. Yeah. Look, come on. He's I met him once. He's a nice guy. I met him at a wrestling. Did you know he wrestled? No. He told me he wrestled in high school. Not a shock, right?

No, not at all. He said he wrestled. Yeah. I'm like, why are you here? He's like, I wrestled, bro. I said, Whoa. Okay. You playing linebacker in high school and wrestling. It makes sense. Know how to tackle somebody in drag them to the ground.

Why not? Shout out to Ray Lewis. Hickey. Nice guy. Nice guy.

I'm not, I never met him. So I can't say otherwise. Yeah. Not from Tom.

Nice. I never met OJ. Hickey.

Never met OJ. No desire. Right.

Yeah. Probably for the better. Never will.

Never will. Hey, Dustin is calling from Knoxville. You're on the JR sport. We show. Go ahead, Dustin. Hey, man.

Uh, I was really just wanting to ask you. I know you kind of moved on from it, but, uh, who's your, uh, cosmic pick so far? Uh, you see, if gente wins the running back title, not even a running back title, if he breaks Barry Sanders record, then I would go ahead and give it to him.

I know he slowed down. It might go to one of the quarterbacks. Maybe you look at a Dylan Gabriel.

I want to see gente winning. What about a Dylan Sampson? Dylan Sampson. Yeah. When the Heisman, are you, are you serious?

Are you just giving me a name? I'm just saying how's the contention? Nah, bro. Like ain't nobody worried about no Tennessee volunteers, bro. Oh, come on, man. Now then because you're in Georgia, are you a bulldog?

Oh, I'm a bulldog, but I make more sense first, bro. I don't have no bias in anything. You know, who writes me a check?

None of these damn places. Why do I care? It doesn't matter to me.

Thank you, Dustin. Come on. We got one running back that people give a damn about.

Ain't nobody think about no violence here. It's the JR sport. We show on the infinity sports network. We'll be back with more football and Hey, the Dodgers are getting ready to beat the Yankees again. First pitch coming soon.
