Lakers Already In Trouble? (Hour 4)

It is! The JR Sportbree Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Shout out to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope you are safe.

I hope you are well. Happy Tuesday, November 5th. Yeah, we're pulling up to the end of Tuesday. Getting closer to Wednesday. Let's see what the hell the next 24 hours has in store for us.

We gonna find out. In the world of sports, we know what the hell happened today. First college football playoff rankings come out. NFL trade deadline, it comes and goes. We got some teams that got better.

We got some teams that, well, just made some dumbass decisions. Hi to the Cowboys. And we were here to talk about it all. We've had a full show for you. I get started at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Where the hell have you been? You just getting out of work? Just getting into your car? Just turn on the radio?

That's fine. You can always listen to the show on the free Odyssey app, A-U-D-A-C-Y. You can tune in on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. If you got Sirius XM, it's channel 158.

If you got a smart speaker, ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. We had a legend join us. A Detroit Lions legend.

Thank you to Lomas Brown. Talk about these Lions getting better. Thank you to Frank Schwab. Frank Schwab coming through from Yahoo Sports to talk about the trade deadline. What a day, what a day, what a day. And we've had ourselves one hell of a night. I'll be here with you for one more hour. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey.

He's in New York City. Thank you so much to Chris helping hold things down as well. Of course, I'll give you a quick update on everything that you've missed in the show. And then at the end of the show, we'll go back in time. We'll take a look at a few things that took place this day in sports history. Tom flies. Hickey, I feel like I just sat down. How the hell I get here?

I mean, you have been having, you know, having a lot of fun for the last three hours, which is good. Why can't I get that money that Joel Embiid has to give up? It's a great question. That and that, you know, it's all marketing. Every time a player gets fined a random, you know, like some sort of lottery and a random thing gets the money. That'd be interesting.

Oh, wow. That'd be very interesting. Yeah. They should do it like Price is Right, right? Like they should play every time a player gets fined, they should make the player sit in the audience and then they give away that money as a part of the game show. That'd be cool, right?

They're very cool. I think ratings will go up. I bet you this attendance for sure is going way up. That seems like that seems like some type of game that would take place into the future. Like we are. I was going to say we're too modern of a society to do that, but I don't think so. It's somewhere down the line.

Players get punished and the fans get the money back. That that that's pretty cool. I'm going to hold on to that one for when I'm older and grayer.

I might be able to use that concept. Well, maybe one day when you're NBA commissioner. No, no, no, no, no. Not for you. Not enough law school for me, Hickey.

Not enough law school. That's right. That's the background you need. Really?

You don't need it. All the commissioners have been lawyers, man. Yeah. Come on. Interesting. I guess it makes sense in this perspective of it.

Yeah. I was going to say you got to know how to be a shyster, but you know, lawyers are good if you need them. That's true. When you need them.

When you don't. No, no, thanks. Very true. Decline. Shout out to all the amazing lawyers practicing and doing amazing things while they listen to the J.R. Sportbree show. Thank you. We appreciate you. Don't sue us. Don't sue us. 855-212-4227 is the number.

It's 855-212-4227. A lot of trades come down or came down the pipe earlier today. NFL trade deadline was at 4 p.m. Eastern, one Pacific, the biggest trade that we had today.

I would say, how about this? Congratulations to the Washington commanders. We showed them a whole lot of love because they've picked up Marshawn Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints. And these are the commanders. They just keep getting better and better and better.

And I mentioned this last break, new ownership, new GM, new everything. And now they have one of the best cornerbacks in the game. Congratulations to the Washington commanders. Next up for them. They got Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Also, congratulations. And this is what we had a chat with Lomas Brown about the Lions. They got things going early. The Detroit Lions picking up Zadarius Smith. This man has five sacks on the season for the Browns. I don't want to say he's replacing Aiden Hutchinson because he ain't replacing anybody. That man cannot be replaced.

But certainly you've got a guy who can help break up a game. And if you're the Lions, this is probably best case scenario. This is the news that broke earlier today on CBS Sports HQ. Well, it's a busy day. We've got breaking news in the NFL.

Trade deadline day gets off to a fast start this morning. The Browns have traded their address churches, Darius Smith to the Detroit Lions. Smith has been a prime target this year's market and fills a hole for the Lions with Aiden Hutchinson. Of course, possibly done for the season with that broken leg. Smith registered five sacks for the Browns before the deal. He's the 10th season they are currently in the NFL.

He has 63 when it comes to his sack numbers and maybe more coming now. Heading to the big D with the Lions contending for a Super Bowl this season. Oh, come on.

It's sticking and moving. It's a good look. That's the news that broke this morning. I told you about Marshawn Lattimore going from the Saints to the commanders. Mike Williams, former New York Jet, former charger.

I don't even know if I want to call him former Jet. Guy that got dissed by Aaron Rodgers. He's now one of the Steelers. The Steelers also pick up Preston Smith. Trudavious White?

No. He's more so a former Bill until he got hurt all the time. Now he is a member of the Baltimore Ravens. And then the Dallas Cowboys did something pretty stupid. They decided to trade for a little used two year Panthers receiver in Jonathan Mingo.

Dallas Cowboys just find more ways to be creative and lose. They they traded this guy for a fourth round pick. He has let me see. He has 12 catches this year. He has zero touchdowns last year.

He has zero. He has yet to score a touchdown in the NFL. Dallas Cowboys said, Yeah, yeah, why not? You know, moving into the second half of his full season, second season, moving into his third year, zero TDs. Why not trade a fourth round for him?

I don't know. Cowboys are just dumb. And then we also learned, well, yesterday we learned that Dak Prescott is going to be out for a while.

A while specifically. Jerry Jones is on one of five three. The fans today didn't threaten to fire anybody. But let everyone know. I think that he's going to be on injury reserve. I don't know what I think.

Listen to Jerry Jones. Not thinking it's safety, but it's extended period of time here. So we wouldn't dare make a prediction when it could be. It's likely we'll hour him and so we'll see kind of how his rehab goes. Was he taking bites of food in between what he was doing?

I don't know. Good for Jerry Jones, whatever keeps him entertained. Good, good for him. Speaking of entertainment, about two hours ago, we got the top 12 for our college football playoff rankings. Well, damn it, we got the top 25. But in the first rankings of the season, Oregon is the number one, the Ohio State University is the number two, Georgia's at three, Miami is at four, Texas is at five. Penn State is at six, Tennessee's at seven, Indiana.

Oh, my goodness. They're at eight. BYU is nine. Notre Dame is 10. Alabama is 11. And Boise State is 12. Of course, we got more season to go.

This is the first this is the first drop of it. And just to even think, Indiana undefeated nine and O ranked eighth here, likely to make the playoff. You just got to scratch your head and go, well, damn, this is a team that just stunk last year. Couldn't even get to a bowl game. Indiana is out here making major moves. Ward manual on the college football playoff committee. He told everybody why Indiana is eighth and then why you got BYU ninth.

How about that? Two great teams, like you said. I mean, Indiana, their strength of schedule is not as strong as BYU. But what Indiana has done on the field when we look at those games, they're winning by double digits, averaging thirty three points a game more than their opponents. They're solid on both sides, offensively and defensively. They're just a really, really great team. And so is BYU.

And so as we contemplated, as we discussed, as we looked at everything, Indiana was was ranked number eight by the committee and and BYU is right behind them at nine. Man, they got they got Michigan next. Beat them, please. Beat them. Go 10 and O on Michigan. Please do it.

Entertainment purposes. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Todd is calling from Maryland. You're on the J.R. Sportbreeze, show us up, Todd. Hey, J.R., I got a new nickname for you, bro.

OK, entertain me. Be smooth. My nickname is just Smooth? It's Smooth. It's Smooth. J.R. Smooth? OK. No, no, no.

No relation to J.B. Smooth, right? No? Oh, you're funny. What's up? All right. Well, Chidora Sanders going to get drafted by the NFL into the NFL. Yeah. And my question is for you is Deion Sanders going to become a quarterback coach with Chidora or not? Now, take it off there, brother. Well, thank you so much, Todd.

Thank you for calling from Maryland. No, I don't think so. Deion Sanders, a quarterback coach? Why the hell would he move? I mean, I know why he would, but why would he want to?

Does Deion need the money? I don't I don't know. I don't think so. Right. I don't know.

He got it good. Why does he why would he want to be bothered in the NFL with grown ass men? It's enough dealing with the young guys he has to deal with.

Can you imagine I have to deal with grown ass adults in their problems? I don't. Does Deion Sanders want that stress?

Is it the stress or is it the I don't know, the hunt for attention? I don't know. By the way, Colorado ranked 20th in a college football playoff. Top twenty five rankings.

Hickey, this this pops up every now and then. Deion Sanders going to the pros. Deion Sanders turned the pro.

Deion Sanders going to the pro. Does the guy want to be bothered? Like, does he really he doesn't seem that he wants to be bothered too much.

I'm being honest in college. It seems like he's doing this to be with his kids because it keeps him involved in the game. I'm sure that he does enjoy working with the students. But from everything that he said, I don't. Does he want to deal with grown ass men? Does he want to deal with the stress of the NFL?

I don't think so. I'm with you. I mean, he said it. He that he doesn't think his message and his style would translate to the NFL in part because those guys are grown men making millions and millions of dollars.

I would tend to believe that logic is correct. And so, yeah, I don't think he's going. I mean, I don't think he's going to be a head coach in the NFL. I don't think he's definitely going to the NFL to be a quarterback coach and take commands from somebody else. Right. Right. Ain't doing that.

No way. I wouldn't be surprised if he just went back into media. You know how many it's not like he's what is he going to coach his grandkids next? I feel like he's coached all his boys through high school now into college. I don't think he has any other younger boys that are there for him to coach unless I don't know.

I'm not keeping up with Dion's kids. Well, I would think he would go back into doing media. Or just stick to coaching at college before I see him move on to the NFL like it is too much, man. And if you're an NFL team, like how many NFL teams really would want to bring on Dion?

It's like bringing in the opposite of Belichick. It's one thing when Dion is the whole show at Colorado. He's been able to change and alter, you know, people who are signing up to go to Boulder.

He's been able to help boost the economy and bring attention. There are stars like Kaitlyn Clark is a star. LeBron James is a star.

Dion Sanders, even though he's still not playing, he's a star. Like money moves when he's around like this guy has money. He has he has an aura around him. Attention is on him. That begets money.

Also his attention. Do you want this if you're an NFL team? Like, is Dion Sanders going to help recruit guys to a team because Dion is there because he's the coach? Maybe a little bit.

But there's always so many question marks. He marches to the beat of his own drum. He's not going to, quote unquote, conform. Isn't that what the NFL is about? And if you have an NFL head coach who is just he'd be an outlier. The most eccentric head coach we have right now in the NFL today. Is coaching the Lions and that's Dan Campbell. Like that's the most eccentric. And as eccentric as he is, he seems pretty rigid in his message and what he wants to get across.

I think in the case of Dion, we've seen him in the NFL as a player. What would we get as a coach? Honesty. Combativeness. Being on the defense.

I don't know. It's just a team would have to be nuts to bring him in. Dion is I'd be shocked if he coached in the NFL. Some idiot team would have to throw him money. Like the Raiders. Hickey, a new idiot is born every day, right?

That is true. And Mark Davis does check a lot of the boxes in terms of idiocy that you're looking for here to make this move. I don't know if Tom Brady would encourage that or dissuade it.

I have no idea. Tom Brady be like, no, no, I could be the pseudo coach from my Fox booth. He's like, if Tom Brady had a mustache, he'd be twisting his mustache like a bad guy. Oh, yeah, I could be the coach from the booth and nobody would know. NFL is an interesting business, man.

Very interesting business. But Dion, he's not going to be there for more than two years. I'd be shocked. I agree. And look, they've done a lot better than I thought this year. So maybe the future is brighter than it otherwise would have been if they were sitting here at three and six.

Oh, he'd be out of there. Right. Do you think he stays now? Well, because they're winning. Yeah.

A year. I don't know, man. I don't know.

Maybe it makes it easier. But so what does he there's only three options. The guy can go back into doing media, which is like, I'm not coaching. I don't think he just said at home he'd be on somebody's television set. He goes to another program.

Mm hmm. Like that is I guess that's most likely they throw him a lot of money and say, come fix us. And then he leaves.

Is that is that what it is? I mean, the third option, right, is I'm assuming you're going to say stay. Yeah, but that doesn't he's not staying for long. Right.

That feels like the least likely option. He ain't coaching the Colorado. Even saying five years sounds like an eternity, man. Like, hell, no. I mean, he's he didn't get into coaching, it seems like because he loves it. I mean, he likes obviously.

But he didn't get into it first and foremost to be around his kids. Well, right. I think so. So now that they're not there. See, he's out of it. Right.

I mean, if the love's out there, why would you continue to do it? I'm going to follow my. Yeah, because he cannot he cannot coach on Saturdays and then say, hey, I'm going to just follow my son around the country for the next four months. He can't do that. Right.

Exactly right. You won't be able to watch his games or forget about going to them. Watch him even.

And you're really game planning, practicing, looking at film. Yeah, he's out of here, man. He's out. Hey, good luck to Chador. Let's see where he gets selected. There's somewhere in the first round, of course, is the J.R. sport. We show here with you coast to coast 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 are going to take a break when we come back on the other side of the break. You know, we talked about Joel Embiid, this man just getting suspended, missing three games, a little more than a million dollars for putting his hands on a columnist. And then we just talked about Dion and family matters to him.

Right. He wants to follow his kid around. Well, he couldn't bring his kid into the NFL with him.

He was gone already. We're going to get into the Lakers. Things are not looking good for them. Anthony Davis, what else is new? Anthony Davis is hurt again.

Dabo Sweeney had a little bit of issues trying to get his vote in today. We have so much to do before we roll out. It's the J.R. sport. We show on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief, the J.R. sport. We show here with you coast to coast 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.

I need to do this before I get traded. The defensive player of the week is sponsored by the Navy Federal Credit Union, who proudly serves the armed forces, DOD veterans and their families. Their members are the mission. You can learn more at Navy federal dot org Rams defensive back Cameron Kinchens. This man took on Geno Smith, beat him up on Sunday, intercepted this guy twice, including a one hundred and three yard pick six Rams. They beat the Seahawks twenty six to twenty in overtime. The interceptions were the rookie's first two of his career and both of them came in the red zone.

Not bad. Geno Smith, the gift that keeps on giving. I know we're talking about how close we're getting to the holidays and Geno Smith just. Giving people opportunities right out the damn gate. Good for him.

Good for him. Same old, same old. Some things never change. And speaking of things that never changed.

Oh, my God. Last night, this morning, taking a look at this same old, same old. I hope not. I'm going to tell you about the Los Angeles Lakers. Yeah, they've only played seven games so far this season. They have a record of four and three. The sky is not completely falling, but the Lakers open up the season at three, you know. And last night, as the Lakers took on the Detroit Pistons, they lost the final score 115 to 103. Kate Cunningham had a triple double.

Congratulations to him. It seems like the Pistons are not as bad as they have been in the past. But for the Lakers, this is one thing you never want to see. Anthony Davis on the floor. Anthony Davis was on the floor yesterday, despite having 37 points. And it's still early, but he's averaging 32 on the season. He's leading the NBA in scoring. Anthony Davis went up to catch the ball on a pass.

He came down with the ball. And the next thing you know, he's grabbing his foot. This man's foot has been bothering him since the end of last season.

I had no idea. But this man's foot, they said, has been bothering him through the Olympics. And Anthony Davis looks like he's finally, you know, given LeBron James a damn break by being the number one guy on the team. LeBron James still amazing. But you don't want to see Anthony Davis on the floor. And so now he's questionable to play against the Grizzlies. Well, last night, while it was all still fresh in everybody's brain, Anthony Davis lying on the floor, grabbing at the back of his foot. He was in the locker room. LeBron James was sitting down. LeBron James was answering questions about the health of Anthony Davis, who, by the way, played a career high as 76 games last year. Still can't believe it.

LeBron James didn't appreciate the questions, asking me dumb questions about the importance of Anthony Davis. Listen to this. Yeah, I don't want to put it up again, you know, going for a detail to see how he feels over the next couple of days and go from here.

We'll check the rocket science and all these babies. Oh, damn. Ouch.

Ouch. He not nice, right? Not nice by LeBron and not nice. Very stern.

He was not in a jovial mood at all. Well, we all know the answer, though. Like he is asking a question that it's pretty generic question. I think harder. Come up with a better question. Don't ask anything or go back to any year that LeBron and idea played together since eighties always hurt and just take whatever.

I'm sure LeBron said the same answer every single year. What's it like playing without a day? He's out for two weeks. You know, what's it going to be like?

How tough is it? We need to step up. What do you guys need to do? All the questions have been asked. The answers are out there somewhere.

Yeah. You know, LeBron didn't have to answer that way. That wasn't the nicest way. But can you blame him? That is pretty much a boilerplate question.

LeBron might have. Hey, what are you going to do if you stop? What happens if there was no air?

If you couldn't breathe air right now, what would happen to you? Not the same question. I don't think LeBron's trying to kill a guy, but. We know the answer, bro. I don't know. Hickey, that's why sometimes some of these press conferences, people are asking about who guys are dating now. And I get it.

There's a difference between a postgame and media day. But how we know the answers to a lot of these questions. What are we doing? Not necessary. Not necessary, but right.

Isn't I don't say there's a need per se, but doesn't the questions. To say that, to just validate the obvious. Right. Right.

So, hey, I saw me saying it's LeBron saying it, you know, or it's whatever. That's that's why some poor schmuck of a reporter has to take the bullet. Right. How screwed are you guys? Ad is out. Come on. We all know. But just just say, come on, just say it.

And LeBron, he is it back? What type of dumbass? He's like, you know, the answer to that question, like, what do you want me to say?

I don't ask it. I don't know. Oh, anyway, Anthony Davis, he knows why they stink. He says that they need to get better. I guess he was able to stand up on his foot.

He was. Listen to this. There's two different teams right now. One, you know, one game where. You know, this team who, you know, who we showcase to be one of the better teams in the league to the next, you know. We're a team who we know who we are. So it's got to be better. We got a full 48 together, but we can't continue to do this.

We expect to do anything just either. And whatever happened to J.J. Redick is the greatest coach up. Whatever happened to that? That lasted all of what, three days?

Come on now. He's three and oh, and now they lost three out of four. So is J.J. Redick ass now?

I don't know. We'll find out when Anthony Davis is healthy. He is questionable to play tomorrow. It's early in the season, but welcome to life with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Also very interesting tomorrow. We will not have Jalen Brown. He's dealing with a hip issue with the Golden State Warriors.

They will be in Boston. Yeah. Jason Tatum is going to be, I guess, the first time that he faces off against Steve Kerr.

Since Steve Kerr decided to sit his ass on the bench in the Olympics. I don't know what the number is. But I'd probably take the over on Tatum tomorrow. Picky, what is he hitting? Over 30, right? Has to be over 30.

50? That or he's I mean, he's taking 30 shots in this game. We have seen him now at stretches.

Keep on chucking and keep on missing. No, I think tomorrow he's hitting. You think tomorrow he's just going to clank all over the place?

I think he is hitting tomorrow. Come on. No, no.

It's like 317 performance. Nah, bruh. I think that's the type of game where if the threes aren't falling, you just attack the rim murder. Tomorrow is murder time. OK, they are going at it in Boston. He is going to light up the Warriors. He is. Do we get a stare down like he hits a three looks at the bench?

I think he will. I think he is. I think he is a nice guy, but he's going to do something and he's not going to like bark. He's not remember when Latrell Sprewell went at Dolan after he got traded. And he's just cursing at him on the sidelines.

And I think he got fined for it. Tatum is a nice guy. He's not doing that. He's going to he's going to look at him one time, even if it is a passing glance or glare. We're going to get something interesting from Tatum. Something. I'm looking forward to it.

That'd be nice to see from him. Is this a nationally does? Yes.

I can't keep up. Does ESPN do basketball on Wednesday still? Right. I don't know. They have some action on them.

They may have some action tomorrow night, too. Look, since everybody has bought rights, I can't keep up. I'm waiting for next year, I guess. I don't know. Let me know when the NBA is on Amazon and NBC. I can't keep up.

Tom flies eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Don is calling from Wisconsin. You're on the chair of sport. We show us up, Don.

I just I'm sorry, but I felt so disgusted by that Packer Detroit game. OK. What do you want? What do you want to blame? Well, the receivers were dropping. I don't know.

I think it was eight passes, but I think the coach could be a little bit more aggressive. Maybe it's toward that. Matt, Matt, Matt, the floor.

Yeah, the floor. Yeah. OK. Maybe, maybe, maybe the Lions are just a better team. Did you think it may be also the quarterback for the the Packers? Maybe. Unfortunately, he's been busted up all year.

Maybe, maybe those factor in. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree with you. I think I don't think you should have played him. But because he's not he's not a good enough coach to say, no, no, love.

Yeah, let Willis play. He doesn't have enough guts to say that. That's what.

No, I don't. I think I think I think the whole thing and thank you, Don, for calling for Wisconsin. I think it boils down to guts about, hey, we are two teams that are competing in the NFC North.

Like we're both trying to win the division. If Jordan Love can get a shot in his side and go out, not his side, his groin or whatever medicine they can give this guy. I don't know who wants a shot to the groin.

Nobody. But if he can tough it out and go play them, then why not? Like if this was some team at the end of the season, it didn't matter. He wouldn't be out there. But it's the Lions. It's the middle of the year.

Go out there. I'm not going to look at cultural floor for not pulling him. And I know they got a bye week and he could have got extra rest and what have you. Now he can rest. And the last time I checked, he didn't come or walk away with an aggravation of that groin injury.

Looks perfectly fine. And let's see what they can do the rest of the way. Unfortunately, Jordan Love has been busted up since they went down to Brazil and then he busted up his knee. Let's see what they do. I'm not going to worry too much about the Packers. We don't got to blame the coach. Maybe the Lions are just a better team and not even maybe they are.

And by the way, if you take a look at what the Packers did early last season, you should be shocked and surprised at how they finished last year. You should be cool with what they're doing now. Just keep Jordan Love healthy and everything will be perfectly fine.

Yeah, they'll be all right. It's the J.R. sport. We show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.

I'll get some more your calls before we roll out eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Of course, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. And then we know today is Election Day of a big name in college sports, college football. He could not cast his vote.

They said, no, not you. I'll explain on the other side is the J.R. sport we show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief.

The J.R. sport we show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Man, what a day. What a day.

What a day. And it's not over yet. There's going to be a I don't know, maybe a long few days. We don't know. NFL trade deadline.

It came and went. Thank you to Lomas Brown for coming through and join us, joining us to talk about everything good that the Lions got going on. Thank you all so much as well to our guest earlier in the show. Frank Schwab came through from Yahoo Sports to talk about the trade deadline. And so, yeah, we trade that line.

College football playoff got those first rankings that came through. USC is quitting on their quarterback, Miller Moss. NBA is telling Joel Embiid your suspended three games with no pay for pushing a reporter. Lisa didn't punch him. Hickey, if he punched him, suspension for the season, right? You think it'd be that long? Half the season. I guess. I mean, I guess a whole season is. I mean, it is justified. Interesting. If you punch a reporter, like, yeah, maybe the whole season, maybe depends on the severity of the punch.

Does that matter? If you barely graze him versus knock him out. Well, he knocks him out. He knew enough to shove him and not punch him. He could have punched him if he wanted to.

You know, that's true. He could have. His wingspan probably reaches across the room. Nowhere for the reporter to hide. Right.

And good on Joel Embiid for showing some type of restraint, I guess. Even in the back, he was doing some chatting. Then they say he told the reporter, I'll do whatever, something and pay with the consequences. Isn't that what he said? I don't remember that exact part, but if that's true, that is.

I would have been running for the hills reporter. Next time, just punch him. Like, don't talk. Just do it. You're advocating for it. Yeah. If you know, if you feel that strongly about it, don't threaten somebody with I'll do it. I whatever.

And I'll pay for the pay with the concert. Just punch him. Like, don't give nobody a warning.

Just do it. You know, I'm not advocating violence. Not at all, but just too much. Hickey, too much talk and not enough action that I definitely agree with you with.

I'm just saying too many people chatting it up and just just do it like Nike says. Anyway, it's the end of the show. It's going to go back in time to a few things that took place this day. November 5th in sports history. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore.

But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history. 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 coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. It is Tuesday, November 5th. The year is 2024. But if we go back in time to November 5th, 2011, we had LSU, we had Alabama, we had a team that was number one, a team that was number two. We had two SEC teams that were undefeated until they weren't. A field goal was kicked in overtime. And LSU ended up beating Alabama nine to six.

Take a listen to this courtesy of CBS, the Game of the Century. And this is for the win. LSU remains undefeated. Our team's got real character and they want to compete. They, you know, they were going to overcome anyway.

They came in here with that attitude. Congratulations to Alabama. What a great game they played. What a tremendously talented team they have. And Coach Saban is doing a great job there as well. Thank you, Coach Les Miles. Not too long after that, I hate to tell you, Alabama, if you don't remember, they beat LSU in the national championship.

We smoked them. 21-0. Revenge. Yeah, best serve, Cole. November 5th, 2022.

Speaking of a dish, this guy could, well, he could put a straw through the hole in his face because he's missing a tooth. Alex Ovechkin, he scored his 787th goal against the, well, Arizona Coyotes, Phoenix Coyotes, the team that's no longer in Arizona. These are the most goals scored with a single team. He passed Gordie Howe. This is from the NHL.

Point position, Manta. Slap shot of the way. Score! Alex Ovechkin, the great eight, is number one with one team. Now he's trying to beat most goals all time. I just, I hope he never does it. Leave it to the great one that belongs to Wayne Gretzky. This one record I don't want to see broken.

That's just me. How about this? 2022. Houston Astros win the World Series. They go over the Phillies four games to two. Dusty Baker, who came out to be the mop up man, mopping up all the issues with the Astros. We need a manager because we was a bunch of cheaters.

Dusty Baker becomes the oldest manager to win a World Series. Listen to this courtesy of Fox. There goes the runner. Fly ball down the right field line. Tucker comes on.

Kyle Tucker. This time they finish the job. The Houston Astros world champions. Let's see.

This morning, Dusty Baker had managed the most games ever without a World Series title. Not anymore. Not anymore. Now they quit talking about it. Has it hit you yet, Dusty? Oh, it hit me all right. It hit me since that ball.

You're not hit over the moon out there. That's when they hit me. Dusty Baker, he was 73 years old at the time. Tom Floz, that was two years ago.

Damn. Now he's 75 years old. Good for him. Now, Dusty Baker is on television. I think he's on TNT or Turner or whatever the hell it is. He's there.

Good for him. And the Astros, well. Well, they didn't win.

What can I say? Congratulations to the Dodgers. Shohail Tani had surgery today, by the way.

Shoulder surgery to repair his torn labrum. If you want to blame his labrum for why he sucked in the World Series, fine, he's still a champ. Better off than Mike Trout. Hickey, you think Mike Trout is jealous of him?

Probably not, right? Oh, why? Why wouldn't he be? Mike Trout, he's been so content to be sticking with that loser ass team. True.

True. I'm sure, though, he would love to win a World Series. I have some I mean, how about any postseason experience outside of three games? I don't know.

No. Maybe if he was on another team, you think his body would have held up? Impossible to know, but I mean, especially given his back issue, it seems like that would have cropped up anywhere.

But I don't know. He's had so many chances to leave and he just stays there suffering with Artie Moreno like misery loves company. Good for him.

He's going to be old with a beard and gray by the time he gets to the playoffs. It's just it's what he wants. So I don't I don't envy him at all.

And speaking of envy, I don't envy this guy. Dabo Sweeney tried to go vote today and he basically told him no. Take a listen to Dabo explain why he could not vote today. They're like, hey, coach, you know, then they hit the thing like, I'm sorry, I can't give you a ballot.

That's what I'm thinking. I'm like, hey, they done voted me out of the state, lost the game. We're six and two and five and one. Man, we we didn't ship me off. But no, they said he said he said I'd already voted. And I was like, no, I can assure you, I hadn't voted since we issued you early ballot. I'm like, and you voted like no. And as it turns out, will my oldest voted last week and they somehow messed it up.

Didn't verify his birthday or something. And they counted me as the vote. And so, yeah, it was what was going to take 10 minutes. Took an hour. Next thing, I'm on the phone with some director name. I think her name was Amy. Super sweet lady.

And she's trying to tell me this whole process. I'm like, there's going to be some hearing on Friday. And, you know, they're going to I had to do a paper ballot stuff.

And I'm like, it was it was quite an experience this morning. But apparently they're going to fix it on Friday. And me and Will, our two votes will count on Friday. I don't know if it'll matter on Friday. Hickey, is this is this what the hell we have to look forward to for the next, I don't know, five hours, 24 hours, 48 hours. Is this the next three days, five days, two weeks?

Yeah, I hope it's sooner than two weeks. But I mean, I mean, if it could happen to Dabo and you would think it would be easy to identify who he is. It could happen anywhere. Oh, boy. Yeah.

I hope that's not a lot of people's experiences. Well, anyway, good luck to Dabo. Hopefully his vote counts on one Friday, maybe if we have a resolution by then.

We'll see. Hickey, great hanging out again on another Tuesday. Likewise, you're always a lot of fun. College football playoff, NFL trade deadline. We'll be back tomorrow, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Of course, we'll be bringing you a new top six list.

That's what I do every single Wednesday. Thank you so much to Mr. Schwab. Thank you to Lomas Brown coming through. Talk about the trade deadline, the Lions, everything, all of the above. You can find me online at J.R. Sportbrief. Hey, don't move.

Rich Herrera is coming up next in place of Bart Winkle. J.R. Sportbrief Show is done. Be safe, be cool, be smooth, be well. Thank you, Hickey.
