Browns Having Regrets About Deshaun Watson? (Hour 1)

It is! The JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, I hope you're safe, I hope you're well, I hope you're good, I hope you are amazing. I'm going to be hanging out with you for the next four hours.

This is when the show gets started every single weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. It's Wednesday, it's the middle of the damn week. It's my job to try to get you over the hump. I'm going to do my best.

Nah, nah, I'm not going to do my best. I will get you closer to the weekend. You can always listen to this show on the free Odyssey app. Your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate is Sirius XM Channel 158. And if you got yourself a smart speaker, ask the speaker. Talk to the machine.

Ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. It is Wednesday. Of course, I'm going to bring you a new top six list. We're about halfway through the NFL season and two hours from now, I'm going to tell you about some of the legitimate contenders, six contenders that could actually win the Super Bowl. Yeah, we'll do that two hours from now. How about this college football playoff rankings?

They were released yesterday. Barrett Salie is going to join us from Sirius XM. Talk all about the college football playoff, why some teams were ranked, who's upset, who's mad, who needs to go where.

We'll get into that next hour. Also, Travis Henter of Colorado pretty much confirmed what we already knew. This man is going into the NFL draft next year. Got a bunch of college coaches who are on the hot seat, guys who are nowhere close to a college football playoff ranking, let alone a bowl game, most of them.

We'll get into that. And then we also got some news on Deshaun Watson and his future with the Cleveland Browns. Not that the Cleveland Browns have much of a future. And in the immediate future for somebody like Bryce Young, Bryce Young is going to get another chance to start.

He took a sprained thumb in a car accident, not a serious one, by Andy Dalton to get Bryce Young back on the field. And well, now Germany can watch him. What a great American export.

The Carolina Panthers and the New York Giants got a game coming up in Germany. Yeah, how exciting, exciting, exciting. Thank you so much to our super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down in New York.

Thank you so much to Chris as well for helping make sure that the show moves on. If you want to participate, easy 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. You can find me online. I'm everywhere that the Internet exists. I'm at JR Sport Brief.

Pretty easy to find. Super producer and host Ryan Hickey this Wednesday, November 6th. How the hell are you? Doing well. It doesn't feel like Wednesday. I feel like this week has flown by so far, but otherwise doing well. You're saying it feels like Thursday? Like what are you talking about?

Yeah, I don't know. It feels like it has flown by where it's just feel like the week has felt very long already. Thursday feels good. You're going to be here the next two days, huh? I will be, yes. Yes. All right, just making sure.

I don't know. Maybe you're going to make it a shortened, I don't know what you call that, a three-day week and maybe you're going to jump the gun. No, I can't leave you alone like that. I can't ditch you. I got to be honest. I was going to leave you today. I was going to leave everybody. I was. I was. No, I got credentials to go to the Hawks, all the games. I can go to all the games. I got offered, invited to go to the Knicks game today. And I was like, man, I said, I want to go to work.

Is there something wrong with me? Yes. Oh, okay. I was like, man, I just, I gave the tickets away here. Give them away, man. Wow.

Free tickets to watch a real basketball team. You said, no, thank you. I don't, I don't. I can go. I can go anytime. I was like, you know what?

I could take a day, invite some people. And I said, no, I'm going to work. I'm a man's man. I go to work.

For second, you're selling Mike Gundy. I'm a man. I'm a man. I'm 40. No, I'm not 40. Not yet, but I'm a man. Not yet.

No, not 40. Not yet, but I'm a man. I said, I'm going to go to work.

I said, if I don't come to work today, people are going to think that I chickened out because of the election and stuff. You can't do that, man. No, sir.

That's true. You are a front facing man that's ready to handle all discussion. Yeah, I'm here. Ain't no doubt about it.

855-212-4227. I don't want no parts of that discussion. Call me about the trade deadline yesterday. Call me about the college football playoff. Hey, call me.

This is a big day too. How about this? In about 90 minutes from now.

I told you, we discussed this briefly last night. Jason Tatum is going to light up the Golden State Warriors. I already have that set up here in the studio so when it comes on, I could watch all the bloodshed on the basketball court, of course. Bloodshed?

Wow. You rooting for him to throw a dunk down over Draymond? I wish anybody would dunk on Draymond. Has he ever been dunked on yet or does he move out the way?

He's never shoved anybody. I think we see it, right? Right. Yeah, we would definitely know about it now. I guess if that happens tonight, I'm sure Draymond would take exception.

When we get to the break, I need to Google Draymond Green dunked on. I don't think it exists. I think you're right.

He'd probably chin check you before he even gets a chance to do anything. Yeah, I'll be paying attention to that. So yes, we have a full night for you, a full afternoon, a full evening, depending on where the hell you live. But speaking of full, you know, yesterday we talked about the NFL trade deadline. It came and went. It was here. It's there.

It's gone. A lot of big teams making some moves and then a team that's not big, just a dumb one. The Dallas Cowboys making a move as well by bringing in a little used wide receiver, Jonathan Mingo. But it's crazy to think here we are, November 6th, we talked about last night how we have immediately jumped from Halloween to Christmas and holidays. The NFL season, I feel like it just started. Teams have played eight, nine games. We no longer have a nice round of 500 number. We now got 17 games.

You don't got an eight and eight, 16 anymore. And so we're about halfway through the year and good on the NFL for actually positioning the NFL trade deadline at a spot that a lot of people. Well, you figure out whether you're good or you're bad.

You suck. You know, it's a good time to have the trade deadline. And so we know and we'll get into this later in the show, teams that are actually worth a damn. I'm going to give you my top six list of teams that I think are really legitimate Super Bowl contenders. And we got some teams that have certainly tried to bolster their rosters with what they did.

Nobody could tell me that the commanders who now have a record of seven and two have not improved flat in period. They needed to improve their defensive back rooms. The past defense they bring in Marshawn Lattimore from them.

Terrible saints and sorry to the Saints. Adam Peters. This man just got to the Washington commanders. He is thrilled that he's bringing in one of the best cornerbacks the NFL has seen over the past four, five and six years.

Listen to this. We're really, really excited to get one of the best corners in the entire league and a guy who fits how we play. He's a he's a four time Pro Bowler. He's a dog competitor. He's you know, he's what you want in a corner.

And it's really cool as we were able to know a lot more about him with he's one. You guys probably read a cool story about this, but we have four players from the Ohio State 2014 recruiting class now. And so we're trying to corner the market there. Those guys are pretty good. I don't know how they lost any games, but so there's some guys in this locker room that knew him already.

And so that that's going to make this transition even easier. And we're just we're pumped to have them. OK, I bet you are one of the top corners here in the game. Washington trying to shock some folks. We'll talk about Washington later on. Maybe are they one of the top Super Bowl contenders?

Are they? We'll figure that out. Somebody else.

How about this? A veteran. Bobby Wagner. Yeah. You didn't think he was still in Seattle, did you?

You didn't think he was still on the Rams, did you? Bobby Wagner playing in his picky. What year is this for Bobby?

Like year year twenty five thousandth. Yeah. Been around a while. And he is still cracking skulls, man.

I would want to be tackled by him. What what the hell does he eat? Is he on that LeBron? This longevity? What is he doing?

TB12, which is honestly more impressive. Tom Brady wasn't tackling anybody to not eat tomatoes because it has too much acidity in it. Avocado ice cream.

I know you love the weighted pajamas. Oh, my God. Somebody needs to throw a tomato at him and just see what he does. Like a cherry tomato. Like, Tom, eat, eat some tomatoes. Like, well, I guess that would add in hives. Right.

Hickey is what he is. He allergic or is he just being weird? Definitely weird. But like if you skew tomatoes that long, maybe just has a negative effect on you.

I don't know. He's he's like a toddler diet. Right. Like I can't eat tomato. Tomatoes.

Yucky. Like, bro, you are grown man. You're almost 50 years old.

You don't made all this money. And so it's time. Here's a question for you. Not that you know, it's Tom Brady as a result of his diet. Now that he's done in the NFL, it's Tom Brady going to live to be 300 years old.

Am I missing something? He might. He definitely I think will push that human record for longest person that stayed alive was 108.

Do we make it to 110? Wasn't Moses like 400 years old? 500 years old.

I don't know. That's true. I don't think he's making it that long. But come close. Tom Brady tack on another 20 years.

He'll look like the Cryptkeeper. Watch. Well, that diet, the fake diet. Tom Brady. Nothing.

Eat a tomato. Bobby Wagner around just as long. Bobby Wagner. He's excited. Marshawn Lattimore is on the team.

Listen to this that we want to win and we want to win now. And so I think it was cool for them to do that. And, you know, it's a great player to bring here. OK. Yeah.

As you know, he's been around a long time, man of few words, not sitting around on Twitter and Instagram, putting out stupid messages and emojis. It's straight to the point where seven and two, I cracked skulls at linebacker. Now I got some help right behind me as a defensive back.

Good for him. Terrific. Then you got the Steelers. Are the Steelers one of the best teams in the NFL? They are like a Super Bowl contender. They got Preston Smith on the defense on the defense. They go ahead on the offense and they get Mike Williams, whose best days are probably behind him. His best days were probably left in San Diego.

Sorry. Not even Los Angeles, San Diego. And Mike Williams, useless for the New York Jets, useless for Aaron Rodgers. He's going to find plenty of use opposite George Pickens as a target for Russell Wilson. Listen to Mike Tomlin talk about what makes that to be discovered.

I didn't say that. And so we get to know him. We get to know his skill set and we'll figure those things out along the way. OK. His skill set. OK. Don't don't ask Aaron Rodgers.

Don't don't take advice from Aaron Rodgers. Let's also be honest. The Steelers wanted a few other wide receivers like guys who are better.

Just weren't available. Brandon, are you Cooper Cup? Yeah. Bargain basement for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They'll be OK, though. And Russell Wilson will be out there cooking.

That's what he does. And then you got another team. Here we are halfway through the season. Their owner has lost his mind. Their owner's mind has been lost. Talking about the Cowboys and Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones had the temerity to talk to the media, talk on the radio and say, yeah, we're going to be buyers. Buyers of what?

We get a new sucker born every day. Somebody is is in a back alley right now, you know, buying parts to their car that doesn't even fit. Like the Dallas Cowboys are bargain shopping and they ended up with crap. They're overpaying for nothing. Dallas Cowboys decided to trade for Jonathan Mingo. This guy's been in the league for two years.

Let's really think about this for a second. He really hasn't cracked. First string for the Carolina Panthers, the Carolina Panthers have no receivers right now. If Thielen didn't get traded, God bless him.

Deontay is gone. Now a member of the Baltimore Ravens. Xavier LeGette is probably their number one wide receiver option. They drafted him this year. The guy that they drafted last year. The Panthers don't even want him. What does that say for the Dallas Cowboys? It didn't matter if he sucked on the worst team in the league. We liked him before the draft.

Who cares what he's done more recently? Listen to Mike McCarthy. Lie through his teeth or try to convince you that Jonathan Mingo is the guy worth a fourth round pick. Just like anything, as you go through, you know, the draft process, it's important.

And I remember first time I heard it from Ron Wolf back in the 90s when I worked for him. You know, you got to trust the draft process because you put so much into it. So that grade always carries weight when a young man does go somewhere else and it becomes available. So we definitely liked him in the draft process. And, you know, he has a lot of the characteristics that you look for that I believe are necessary in the receiver.

So we're excited for the opportunity to have him part of it. OK. Spoken like a coach who in a few months is not going to have a job. Just saying anything. That's what people do.

Like when you know the time is up, you just do whatever. You just say what it doesn't matter what you just say stuff. Mingo ain't going to be around and neither is Mike McCarthy. Neither one of these guys are going to be around the next time the Dallas Cowboys are worth a damn. I'm just saying. And America, congratulations. Because on Thanksgiving, if you want a good football game, you've got to rely on the Lions.

When is the last time you heard that? Because imagine sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner. Dallas Cowboys are in the background and you have an opportunity to watch, I don't know, Cooper Rush and Daniel Jones.

It'd be a lot of people just shaking their heads, maybe vomiting at what they'll see. The Dallas Cowboys are a vomit fest. Congratulations to the teams actually helping themselves.

Ahead of the trade deadline. Congrats again to Washington. Congrats again to the Steelers.

And the Cowboys. Well, same old day, same old joke. Nothing new there. It's the J.R. sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. There's so much to do here with you over the next four hours. I told you next hour, we are going to have a chat with Barrett Salie. He's going to come through and join us. Let's talk about some college football. Joining us from Sirius XM. I'm going to give you a top six list as we dive deeper into six NFL teams that legitimately have a chance to win the Super Bowl.

I'm going to tell you which six teams have the best odds. Hey, how about this? Scott Boers has some words on Juan Soto and his contract. Speaking of contracts, when we come back on the other side of the break, the Browns have spoken. Andrew Berry, the GM of the Cleveland Browns, he spoke today about the status of Deshaun Watson. And I don't know if he's kind of getting ready to give him the boot or if they're just going to continue to pay this dude for the next two years. We'll talk about it on the other side of the break. We'll hear from Andrew Berry as well. You are listening to the J.R. sport brief. It is the J.R. sport 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. You know, right before you went to break, thinking about where we are at this point of the season, we have seen the trade deadline come and go yesterday afternoon. Washington is improving. Dallas Cowboys doing stupid things. And then we've even seen a couple of coaches who have gotten canned already.

Robert Salah is probably laughing his ass off, you know, somewhere. Former head coach of the New York Jets and Dennis Allen just this past Monday, he got the boot from the New Orleans Saints. And it's kind of crazy when you think about this, how fast and how the tide could turn in the NFL. We know it's a violent game. We know an injury could take somebody out and they could just be cooked.

Just period. Is there a team that is more cooked? Is there a team that's sitting on more of an island that went to the playoffs last year, thought that they had some hope this year? And it's not the New York Jets, but the Cleveland Browns.

You thought bringing it in and it was always risky bringing into Sean Watson, which is why I cannot feel sorry. I cannot feel bad for the Browns. I can't feel bad for their owners and the Haslam's.

I can't feel feel feel bad for anybody. Because they brought in a guy who has almost 30 cases of allegations of sexual assault. These dumbass owners decided they hand him two hundred and thirty million dollars in guaranteed money. And then knowing that he was going to be suspended.

And so not only was he suspended in the first year that you're paying him all this money. The next year, last year, he gets hurt. Has a broken shoulder this year. He looks more than rusty. He looks cooked. He looks like a guy who hasn't played football in, I don't know, two, three years.

He looks like ass. The Browns look terrible. They would have still been better off with just bringing back Joe Flacco and saying, here, man, this is your job.

But you've already took you've already committed to this guy for two hundred and thirty mil. So the Sean Watson has to get his chance, has to get his opportunity. And the Browns look pathetic. They look awful right now.

They have a record of two and seven. We know the Sean Watson, this man tore his Achilles after seven games. We're now forced to sit and watch Jamis Winston be both good and bad. The first game he started against Baltimore, they won. He threw three touchdowns. This past Sunday, he throws three interceptions against the Chargers. There you have it. Jamis Winston in a nutshell. But with the Sean Watson in charge, they never scored more than 20 points. And keep in mind, forget the two hundred and thirty million dollars. They gave up three first round picks for this guy and now they owe him forty six million dollars. Each.

Over the next two years. For a guy to wake up. And do nothing. To go to rehab. This is the quarterback who said, oh, yeah, no, I don't think I'm going to run anymore.

They don't pay me to run. And then as he was trying to lunge forward. This man blew out his Achilles.

That's life. And then he cried as they were, you know, wheeling, carting him. Off the field.

I don't feel bad for the Browns. And so today, their general manager, Andrew Berry, he spoke. And of course, the questions were about Deshaun Watson and his future suspended the first year pervert. The second year broken shoulder, the third year Achilles. And so he's going to come back next season and do what?

Exactly. We don't know. And it appears that the general manager, Andrew Berry, he doesn't know at all either because he was asked, what the hell are the plans for Deshaun Watson?

Can you tell us? Really, our focus with Deshaun, I would say for any player with a season ending injury and a major injury is, is first and foremost with the recovery and to make sure that he gets healthy from the Achilles injury. You know, everything else we'll deal with at a later moment. Ah, everything else. OK.

He's a broken down human being. We'll worry about it later. OK. All right, Andrew Berry. So we saw him play seven games. We saw the Browns go one and five with him. I just told you they never scored 20 points.

The offensive line is crap. He was sacked like a human pinata. He didn't want to run. He just he just wanted to collect his money.

Why not? Two hundred and thirty million dollars. I don't. Hickey, how much do you think?

Well, we don't. Did each person he settled with, what did you think they got? A couple hundred, maybe.

I was going to say a mill each to steep 30 mil. Wow. I mean, he's making two thirty. That's the king of the pervs right there, right?

This guy has to dole out a million dollars per accusation. Wow. Wow. Right.

Is that too high? Like what? I don't. I mean, wow. I don't know. We don't know.

It's disclosed. Right. And we may never know. We may never know. Wow. Until somebody.

Now, nobody will write a book because then they're going to have to cough that money up. Wow. Either way, I don't think he's heard a couple of athletes not hurting this despite the issues. He's not hurting. Joel Embiid is not hurting after pushing a columnist.

Draymond Green could go on a WWE tangent. He's not hurting. Hickey, I should have been an athlete, man. You could like physically assault people and then still get paid.

Not a bad life, right? It's not. No, you know, let me not say that physically. Not not not Deshaun Watson assault.

I mean, like Draymond assault or like Myles Garrett is swinging a helmet. Yeah. A little bit more kosher than what this other guy did. Right.

Sure. That's dangerous. That's you tell a violent right there. That's violence.

Yeah, that's that's a different type of violence. But either way, Andrew Berry, he was asked about Deshaun Watson, how he played this year. And he basically said, man, you know, the whole team sucks.

What do you ask me that for? We haven't played well as a team and we haven't played well as a unit on offense. And I think oftentimes when you don't play well on offense, obviously your starting quarterback, your play caller will get the most you will get the most criticism. But the reality of his offense is it's it comes down to organization and synchronous synchronization. And, you know, there's just a lot of shared ownership across the different position groups in terms of why we didn't perform. Uh huh. He basically said the whole team is ass, including the quarterback who can't play right now.

Why are you asking me this question? We are bad, bad, bad, bad. They're two and seven. We're just going to pin this on the quarterback. He's like, no, the whole team stinks. Brown's fans of. The Browns and Jet fans got a whole lot in common, right? It's like one team is in the Midwest and the other one is on the East Coast. And you could swap out the teams and and share disaster story. This is bad.

Awful, terrible. Meanwhile, I guess because the media and this is maybe this is why Joel Embiid is like, hey, we need to push the media around. Because these reporters in Cleveland, they were going at him. They were asking him about the trade and whether or not it's a good one.

You all know the trade is bad. Why are you asking this guy this? I'm really not in reflection mode. I think that's probably, you know, I remember I got asked this about Dobbs last year. It's really more not really my focus at this point in the year. Our focus is really on finishing out the twenty, twenty four season, having the team play at a higher level.

And then kind of we'll get to like those maybe longer term or big picture reflections at a later point in time. Oh, my goodness. Hickey, we talked about this yesterday. LeBron James looked at a reporter and said. Why are you asking me questions, you know, to answer to ask them about Anthony Davis?

Hey, what's going to happen with no Anthony Davis? He's like, what a type of dumb ass question is that? What happens if I'm not here? Why do they ask why they ask him that question? Why do they ask him that question? What do you what did you possibly did you have to ask? What do you possibly think he's going to answer? He's going to go, oh, man, the trade is awful.

They should they should fire me, even though they forced me to make it. You know, I think you know the answer you're going to get, but I mean, it doesn't hurt. I don't think it hurts to ask just because everyone's thinking it. Everyone's been talking about it. We've talked about it for four years now.

Honestly, the only person who's yet to talk about it, mention it, acknowledge it as the guy who made the trade. If you can get him in a moment of honesty, I think it's like the worst thing you could that could happen when you ask that question is exactly what we just heard. A dance around a non answer.

I think it's worth it. What is he going to do? Just instead of answering the question, just put a sign on this. It just says, fire me now. What is he going to do? Yeah, it's not worked out as we thought. Maybe lights a fire under Sean Watson.

Maybe just I don't really know actually what it can do because you're some of them. But yeah, I've never heard a GM go at the time while like in the midst of things. Hey, I made a bad decision. And I think we all know, you know, he might have been in favor of it. I don't.

But there's something in me that goes. The Haslam's wanted this all the way through when it was time to sign him. And yet it's their team, their organization, they're the owners.

They jumped through hoops to let everybody know, hey, we approve this and we agree with this. And we sat down with the Sean Watson and we believe in him and this and that and his moral character and this and that. And Andrew Berry was kind of like he's second fiddle to the owners when it came down to this decision. And so I don't know, maybe the owners can kick him in the ass afterwards and just go, yeah, well, we did it. But you're the GM. It's your fault.

We're still going to fire you. This is just a cold world, man. It's just it's just it's just the Browns being the Browns. And we told you, dumb ass team with a dumb ass name, Browns. And get what they deserve. They're brown like the color of you know what. And that's what they are. It's 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. It's never easy taking responsibility when you're wrong. Never is.

And in the world of sports, why would you ever do so? And this guy, Andrew Berry, he's the GM. You think he's going to be like, I screwed up? No, that man wants those checks to keep on coming. It's the J.R. sport we show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break when we come back on the other side. We're going to take a look. Speaking of checks coming, we're going to talk about some college football coaches. They're going to have some checks that keep on coming. But will they be coaching teams and earning these checks or will they be on vacation because they got fired? We're going to talk about some coaches that are not going to the playoff, but they might be going on vacation sooner than later. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief. It 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. Deshaun Watson might get the boot from the Browns. I don't know how the hell they just going to do that and just cut bait and let that dead money sit around for a couple of years. But they're going to be bad. Might as well be bad all the way.

I can't believe this is one of the worst trades, one of the worst contracts given out in NFL history. That is that is already the case. They got two more years left of this.

Hickey, is this is this this is dumb. Like, I remember a few years ago, 2019. Right. Kevin Kevin Durant coming off of a blown out Achilles. The Brooklyn Nets said he is so damn good. We are still going to sign this man knowing that he's going to miss a year.

That's how good he is. And then he showed up and he was basically a one man gang until the Brooklyn Nets went to hell. The Cleveland Browns trade for this man, Deshaun Watson.

They know he has legal issues. You know, he's going to be suspended a year and then he has more legal issues. And then he gets hurt for two consecutive years. Is this not the worst? This might be the worst trade outside of Herschel Walker and the Cowboys and ended up with with multiple Super Bowls. This got to be one of the worst trades in sports history.

What did you say? Feels even worse than the Saints when you're talking about Herschel Walker. I mean, this is this is bad.

This is really, really bad. We just look at like there's no bright spot. There was because it's one of those trades where at least when you make it in the moment, you can quote unquote win the day. Right. Like when you make a big trade like that, there's no there was no winning the day for the Browns immediately.

Sure. I'm sure. You know, I bet some fans are excited. But obviously that in giant, giant dark cloud hanging over to where once you learn about the suspension, all that excitement still goes away because the first year is basically wash with when you suspend 11 games. Like there was no there was really no moment at any point so far through these first three years where you actually felt good about it.

No, and I don't think there will be any point agreed where anybody will. This is going to be one of the worst trades in sports history. And I just wonder how much of the blame the owners just put on Andrew Berry.

There's no escape like that's the boss. They're not going to fire themselves. And I go, oh, we suck as Browns owners. We're going to just give the team up. They got to fire somebody. Good luck to to Andrew Berry. I don't know how this is going to turn out for him. Speaking of getting fired and getting the boot. You know, yesterday we talked about the release of the college football playoff rankings.

The first edition. We'll talk more about that in a few minutes at the top of the hour. But there's some other teams. Well, not so lucky. There's some other teams that, well, they've disappointed. They stink. They're not going to a playoff. I mean, damn it. They are so bad that their coach might get fired. I still cannot believe.

The great people in Tallahassee shout outs to everybody at FSU. It's still crazy to think. They are one.

And eight. It was looking ugly early on. Oh, let's blame the quarterback. No, the whole team stinks.

OK. They are bad. They just lost to North Carolina.

Thirty five to eleven. They have Notre Dame next. The Seminoles are going to get smashed.

I talked about Jamis Winston earlier on in the show. Well, he's the replacement quarterback for Deshaun Watson. Things can't get any worse for Florida State. And the fact of the matter is you got a head coach. You want to talk about people getting fired.

Anybody getting fired. Mike Norvell. It would cost them sixty five million dollars to get rid of this dude. His contract ends in twenty thirty one. I know somebody called last night and asked about Billy Napier. And I'm like, hey, one of the only reasons they're going to keep this dude around is because they would owe him a crap ton of money as well. Twenty six million bucks.

And yeah, OK. They've been a little bit more competitive against Georgia and Tennessee. But I don't know what's going on with the Florida schools. Like, depending on how the season ends, I mean, unless they're raising enough money, Mike Norvell would typically get fired. But I think they're going to keep him like what collective is walking around saying, hey, here's sixty five million dollars to give this coach the boot.

Bring in somebody else. We got a guy who keeps calling. Who's the guy that keeps calling, asking for Lane Kiffin to move over to Florida? I forgot that guy's name. That would be Lee in Cincinnati.

He says that once a week. I think both of these guys are going to survive because of the money that they owe. Do you think we're going to see both of them around next year? I think Norvell is going to stay, especially considering that he went undefeated in the regular season last year. That and the buyout, I think, is enough to bring him back in twenty twenty five. I mean, I will say to his credit, Mike, excuse me, Billy Napier is done.

I think he's done a good job this year. I mean, that's that that schedule was murderous row. He lost the quarterback and then he just lost another quarterback last week.

I don't know what the hell his hamstring is going to look like. And they're competitive. They lost running. They've had a ton of injuries and they're hanging in some of these games.

I really thought he would have been already fired at this point before the season. Just with the roster and the schedule, they're playing tough and hard and winning some games that are up there. They haven't really, for the most part, gotten blown out maybe outside of A&M early in the year and obviously the Miami debacle.

And also, too, honestly, considering that, two blowouts early in the season, I think it's easy to give up if you're a player on that team. So, you know what? He's done. He's cooked. Like, why play for this guy? Why listen to him? He's going to be fired in two weeks. He has kind of captivated the ear of that team.

Yeah, we've gotten the best of both worlds. You talk about Miami. They smacked them 41 to 17. They were competitive with Georgia this past weekend and then they were competitive with Tennessee. They won 23.

It's a 17. So it's going to be interesting to see what happens. He might have saved his ass more recently. They got Texas up next. I don't know if they're going to keep up with them, but if they can put up any type of fight, especially if you're now dealing with the third quarterback, that will certainly say a lot. I mean, after that loss against the Bulldogs that they kept competitive this past Saturday, Billy Napier, he was not shy. He talked about how proud of his team. They've been competitive all year. I'm extremely proud of our team. I think the throughout this entire year, I think the character of this group has showed up.

I think it's a tough group. And I do think that I'm proud of the way they competed in the game today, the effort in which they played and the pride and way in which they took in representing Florida and competing. And whatever I told you, the most exciting thing in that game, it wasn't the interceptions, it wasn't Georgia bouncing back. It was it was the fans fighting in the stands. It appears that there might have been some racial language thrown around to the officers. Yes, it does seem like thanks to some video by other fans that maybe the officers weren't totally in the wrong. Oh, no.

The guy deserved to get his ass whooped. Yes. Yes. Justice was served.

Both of those both of them. So it seems like from what I saw. Oh, my God. And they were those were punches, right? They didn't even they didn't bring out.

No. Could you imagine if they were using nightsticks? I thought one officer was. Oh, he had a baton or not. I don't tell by like his back was to the camera, at least the one the one video I saw.

It looked like he was swinging like like the the motion looked like more like a nightstick motion that it would be just like raining blows down with your fist. You know, that's tough. This is not not a kosher question. Where can I get a nightstick? Can I just get one? I hope not, because if it's easy to get, I don't need some crazy wackos here in either New York City or Atlanta or anywhere across the country walking around with the access and ability to get a nightstick. There's a lot worse that people can have access to. That's true. Then a night.

That's true. I'm like, if I can walk into a Wal-Mart and walk out with something else, then why can't I get a nightstick? Right. You know, if you if I can buy a wrench, what's the difference between a nightstick and a wrench or crowbar to me? There's plenty of tools you could use around the house if you want to just really have fun, but go off.

Yeah. Crowbar. Hammer. Hammer. There's something different about a nightstick or baton. It sits on your waist perfectly ready for action. Like a sword you're drawing out of its sheer. Yeah.

You just like whoosh. You make this sound really romantic. What? Having a nightstick? Yeah. Walking around with it as you're ready to beat somebody's ass. Not not romantic if you're throwing out disgusting words. You know, that's this is totally now we're going off on a tangent.

I'm going off on a tangent. For whatever reason, I saw the name Lucille the other day, Hickey, and I thought about B.B. King's guitar. And it made me go, man, you could just name inanimate objects after after whoever.

And imagine having a nightstick and just giving it a name. Lucille, Lucy, Betty. Yeah, I'm taking Betty out tonight. Oh, where are you two going? Oh, I'm just going to walk down the street.

See, he looks at me the wrong way. Betty's a woman. No. Betty could be a firearm.

Where are you going to the range? I don't know. You just never know. Never know. You never know.

Those guys got their asses whooped at a college football game. Good luck to Billy Napier. Not not that he needs it. He's getting twenty six million dollars either way. Must be nice to be mediocre at your job and still get paid. I'm not speaking from experience. I don't know. I have no idea. And shout outs to Mike Norvell, too.

It's sixty five million dollars if they find him. Must be nice. Must be nice. I need to go back down to Tallahassee. That's what I need to do.

Ask them for some money. It's 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 come back on the other side of the break. Hey, we're going to take a deep dive into the college football playoff. The latest rankings, the first edition of the rankings.

Barrett Salih is going to join us about 30 minutes from Sirius XM. And I want to keep this talk going because. Yeah, it's not just losers. We got some teams that have been ranked. People are like, why is BYU here? Why is Indiana here? Why is Miami here? We'll talk about it. It's the J.R. sport we showed on move.
