I might be in Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to our super producer and host Ryan Hickey in New York City. New York sicky? What the heck is that? Hickey sicky? There's too many ickies. Hickey, what's wrong with you, man? Damn.
Destroy the name. I know, right? New York hickey? Sicky? Hey, t-shirt idea for you. Hickey, right? New York hickey? No? No? Okay, look, I don't know who would buy it, but sure.
Yeah, Finn's friends family? I'd buy one. Okay, so I'll buy five t-shirts. I'll sell them to you at a good cost.
Okay, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you to Chris holding it down as well on the boards, and we've been hanging out for two hours. Two hours down, two more to go.
There's so much to do, so much that we've done. We got Thursday Night Football coming up in about 15 minutes. We got the Baltimore Ravens. We got the Bengals. Ravens trying to compete for a Super Bowl.
Bengals just trying to turn things around and get to the postseason. How about that? We talked about Billy Napier.
At least he's turned things around from Florida Gators. That's pretty nice. We already had a guest who came through. A thank you to Derek Bottner from PHLY Sports to talk about these Philadelphia 76ers. How about this? In about 20 minutes, we'll have a chat. Speaking of Billy Napier, Cole Thompson, SEC Unfiltered.

That's 855-212-4227. I'm waiting on this game, man. AFC North matchup, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens. They had one of the best games a couple of Sundays ago, week five of the NFL season. Ravens came back to beat Cincinnati 41 to 38. They went back and forth so damn much. I couldn't even remember what happened.
I'm like, whoa, there's a lot. Do I think we're going to get that today, tonight? I'm not so sure. What I do know is that the Baltimore Ravens, they've added Tredavious White. I don't know how many snaps he's going to play tonight, but I do know that they give up a crap ton of passing yards. And the Baltimore Ravens, guess what? They have the number one defense against the run in the entire NFL. And the Bengals, well, let's just say they're one of the worst rushing teams in the NFL.
Joe Burrow is out here working overtime. He has 20 touchdowns this year. He's completing 70% of his passes. I told you these Bengals have a record of four and five. Man, they've won three out of the last four. They're always trying to turn the tide, turn things around.
They're taking the Philadelphia 76ers approach to football. Yeah, let's think early and try to win late. We've seen him turn things around, but I don't know if they're going to be able to do so this season. Bengals have won three or four, but let me tell you this. They are 0 and 4 versus teams that have winning records. Yeah, don't try to bank on them too much. Would anybody be shocked if the Bengals got in as a wildcard?
I think not, but there's just too much that's just unpredictable. It's Joe Burrow. If they had an average quarterback back there, the Cincinnati Bengals would be playing for nothing.
They'd be playing for a number one pick because they would be worse than what they already are. Really looking forward to this matchup. AFC North teams always like to punch each other in the mouth and Joe Burrow. Well, I'm not going to say he echoes my sentiments because I said they suck.
He says we gotta get. Yeah, look, we played great on Sunday, but I'm not going to ignore when there's things that I felt like we could have done better. You know, maybe I could have not let my emotions show quite as much, but it's also something that I've tried to do more and I know people in the locker room have wanted me to do a little more, whether good or bad.
Yeah, whatever. Y'all need better plays. How about that?
Is that good enough? They just beat the Raiders 41 to 24. Joe Burrow needs to do nothing. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He's been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL over the past several years. The only thing that can slow Joe Burrow down are injuries. Like last year to his damn hand or the year before that when he blew out his knee like this. There's typically always something with Joe Burrow. Maybe if they were able to protect the guy a little bit more, he wouldn't be running for his life.
Good luck. Reigning NFL MVP. Dammit, Lamar Jackson might get a third the way that he's performing and playing right now. Almost a perfect passer rating this past Sunday as the Ravens knocked off Denver 41 to 10. He only threw 19 passes and had three touchdowns. Quite efficient for a guy. A few years ago, people said he's no quarterback.
He can't play a quarterback. Lamar Jackson said, of course I'm doing well. You want to know why? Because the game is becoming so much more easy for me. Me just watching film, seeing a lot of blixes and seeing different schemes of high team holding blixes and trying to disguise stuff for me. So we just studying and studying the bad plays, you know, as well. We just studying and just memorizing everything. What I'm seeing is helping. It's helping the process of the game for me. Just everything just slowing down. Oh, come on now.
This is this is the type of stuff. This is what his head coach John Harbaugh had told us in the off season that he takes a look at Lamar Jackson and he believes that Lamar Jackson is on his way, that they are trying to build this man up to be the greatest quarterback ever. I mean, well, damn it. Three MVPs. If he gets another one, he needs a Super Bowl out of different ways to skin a cat. Do I think Lamar is going to walk around with four and five, six Super Bowls?
I think not. But if you're a Swiss Army knife at a Swiss Army knife at quarterback. If you have the best Russian quarterback ever. And you could be one of the most efficient passing quarterbacks of which he has been.
How could you argue? I want to see it for a few more years. I got to see if his body is going to last. And we know his body.
Well, damn it. Last week they were talking about his back, his knee. He didn't practice. I feel like there's an annual issue in training camp where he has to take off because he has a cold.
I don't know. There's seemingly always a little something wrong with Lamar, but then he balls out. And so Coach Harbaugh, he's like, man, we just played on Sunday. We got to play again on Thursday.
These guys are tied and so am I. That's a two-edged sword too, because they have a lot of familiarity with us. So every game is different.
Every game is unique. You just kind of take it as it comes, attack the circumstances as they present themselves. And that's what we'll try to do and do our best. Man, Hickey, even thinking about an NFL coach preparing on a short week, you got to get ready for the game on Sunday. You got to coach that game on Sunday. You then immediately have to shift and then move towards a game on Thursday.
The coach is not getting knocked around. He's not playing. We talked about having coffee earlier on in the show. Like these guys just must be caffeinated at every hour of the day, right?
Absolutely. I feel like they barely sleep when it's a normal Monday through Sunday week. Now when you're talking about a short week, do you think John Harbaugh slept more than what, four hours total this week? Oh my God. That sounds awful. Dan Campbell, he said he drinks coffee black, right? Am I making that up? Yes.
No, I think you're right. But it's like two gallons worth. Two gallons of coffee. Now caffeine is like everything else. If you drink enough of it, your body is just like, all right, this is normal. So maybe he has to drink two gallons to feel something. It's a lot of coffee.
Immune. A gallon of coffee? He talked about like, it was like, you know, his coffee order is like insanity.
I'll pull up here. It was like, it's, he was talking about like, when he goes to Starbucks, I think it was like, it's a lot of coffee. It sounds like Dan, and that would have surprised me. That's why he's always going for it on like fourth down. He probably uses the bathroom once a week. He gets two venti coffees.
That's the biggest size, right? With two shots of espresso in each. Oh my God.
Whoa. Wait, wait, wait. Two at a time? Two at a time.
Now, according to Google. Two shots in each coffee? Yes. Four shots? Of espresso, 40 ounces of coffee.
Bro. And apparently it's according to Google, it's 1100 milligrams of coffee or caffeine, excuse me, which is equivalent to drinking 10 Red Bulls. That checks out. At one time?
That checks out. I know this is a big dude, but 10 Red Bulls at one time? Now this might be, I think maybe spread throughout the day.
Oh my God. But even still, I mean, if you're having this throughout the day, even spread it out over call it 15 hours, that's so bad for you. Hickey, I think I had a, you know what? No, I didn't. I had, I took a five hour energy one time, right? Cause I was driving. I was driving overnight.
So I said, you know what? It's three in the morning. Let me have a five hour energy. I finished my five hour drive, right? Man, I was up all afternoon. I was like, you know what? I could take the five hour energy drink, drive my five hours and then, you know, lay down and go to sleep.
Nah, bro. There was no sleep. I felt like, you know, the carts, Tom and Jerry, I don't know, pick a cartoon cat with eyes and getting ready to pop out the thing's head and you see the veins.
I feel like even if I wanted to close my eyes, I felt like my eyes were just bursting through the front of my face. No sleep, man. None, none at all. Right. So one of the few companies that falsely advertise on the lower end, right? Usually they sell five hour energy and you got two hours before you crash here. It's like five hour energy. They're giving you a 10 hours of energy before you crash. Geez.
I think at the gas stations, I think they do sell 10 hour now. I think, am I bugging or do they? I don't know. I try to stay away from that stuff. So I not looked, but I wouldn't be, I mean, everything's getting bigger now. Right.
So why not? If I decide to run a New York city, will my heart explode if I take a five hour energy drink and pour it into like an espresso shop? Well, you're asking for a heart attack. Well, I was going to say, well, I have one probably right now, man.
I would say so. And then running 26 miles on top of that. Yeah, bro. I haven't had a five hour. If I see a five hour, I'm like, no, I don't.
I do not need that. Not at all. God bless these NFL coaches.
What a, what a short turnaround Sunday to Thursday. It's kind of crazy. I wonder if Lamar Jackson, I think he drinks coffee. I think he does. And Zach Taylor, he says, man, trying to stop this guy. Yeah. I needed the coffee to try to figure it out.
They're doing a lot of really good things. He's playing with a lot of confidence. There's a lot of things that are double edged sword when you're attacking him, whether you're pressuring and he makes the extra guy mess. And now you had a whole world problems because he's as unique as it gets in terms of his athletic skillset, but his ability to beat you with his arm creates real challenge. He didn't have no coffee.
He didn't have none. He sounds miserable. I'd be, I guess I'd be miserable too. I'd have to try to figure out how to stop Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. We say this all the time. This is a squad that's trying to run to a Superbowl to finally get over the hump.
Like that's the expectation. The Bengals, here we are another season. They are just trying to get into the post season and go on a run.
They're four and five, as I told you, they are on four against teams with a winning record. And head coach Zach Taylor, he says, we still believe in ourselves. I'm glad they believe in each other.
Cause I don't. I think we always have great hope. I think this team believes that whoever walks in the field against us, we have a tremendous opportunity to find a way to win these divisional games.
Again, it's, it's always stated when you play these games, we know them well, they know us well. It was a great game. The last time we played them, we came up short and up excited for the opportunity to, to get another crack at them in third place. Let me tell you folks hope, hope does not win you football games.
It doesn't. It's nice to see that the Cincinnati Bengals are inching towards 500. It is absolutely where they want to be before the end of the night. If they fall to four and six, they, they should, they might as well just kiss the season goodbye. I already think they're done. Good luck.
Good luck. This is going to be a good one. I told you the last game that they played 41 at 38, just the back and forth. Let's see if the Ravens pass defense can catch up with this rushing defense, which is number one in the league. I'm going to take the Ravens at home. I think the Ravens are going to help bury the bangles, but it wouldn't be shocked if the bangles win because Hey, they got Joe burrow.
They got one of the best QBs in the game. They ain't going to run that damn ball. They going to throw it around.
It's the JR sport reshow here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back on the other side, we're going to continue chatting it up about some football. We're going to be joined by Cole Thompson of SCC unfiltered.
We heard earlier on in the show, we talked about it, Billy Napier, not going anywhere, sticking around with the Florida Gators. We got some big SCC matchups coming up this weekend as well. So we'll have that chat with Cole Thompson.
It'll be pretty damn fun having that conversation. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport reshow here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network, man, we got Thursday night football underway. We got the bangles. We got the Ravens. We got more football coming our way tonight.
Tomorrow was Saturday. We had college football. It's been a busy week. The first edition of the college football playoff rankings have dropped. We got some big SCC games coming up this weekend. We got Georgia, Ole miss. We got Alabama LSU. We found out our coach in the SCC today coaching down in Gator land. Looks like he's going to keep his job into the future to talk all things college football, all things SCC. Joining us right now is Cole Thompson from SCC unfiltered. Hey Cole, how are you? JR, I am so glad to be on with you tonight.
I'm so glad that Hickey was able to reach out to me. We got a lot to break down when it comes to college football playoff. There are elimination games this weekend and more importantly, there is now a question of what is the best job left on the market with Billy Napier going to be back in 2024?
Well let me ask you this and we'll get into the college football playoff. Knowing that Billy Napier is going to be sticking around, what are your initial thoughts? Is it strictly because of the buyout?
Is it NIL? Is it players sticking around? Why is he sticking around?
I think it's a lot of things JR for being honest. The first one is naturally the buyout. It's 26 million dollars if they were to let him go after this year. The point of the matter is that that revenue money could easily go towards NIL, towards the recruiting aspects, towards the transfer portal funds to allow players that are maybe a few pieces away from joining this roster and being able to build off of this upcoming season. The other point that I think a lot of analysts are kind of forgetting about at this moment is this schedule doesn't change next year at all. It is the exact same schedule. The only difference is well instead of going to Starkville and play Mississippi State, Mississippi State's coming to you. Instead of having Texas A&M come to the swamp, you're going to Aggieland. So the expectations for a new coach to come on in is to be a much more stable stoic version than what you saw with Billy Napier, but you're also going to have a roster turnaround because whenever a coach leaves they bring in their own players and players that were committed to the previous staff, they want to go elsewhere.
So it's going to be the same results. If you keep Billy and results don't speak volume then ipso facto congratulations, you can move off him with just cause. The third point is was there a coach available to be able to kind of build off of what Billy is currently doing? Now you and I both can agree that after the first two games they started off one and two with losses to Texas A&M and Miami where they looked awful, the writing was on the wall. He was probably going to be shown the door, but now we are seeing a version of Florida that has kind of rejolted since winning the Mississippi State. And I'm not saying that you take participation trophies and call a close well loss to Georgia a good moral victory, but if you don't have somebody signed on the dotted line that can come on in and have the same type of atmosphere for that player locker room then it really doesn't matter the results when you know that everything else is still going to be a year away from transitioning. The final thing is that JR, they don't have a president right now. They're in an interim president situation to where Scott Strickland really would be making a call to if the new president comes in and doesn't like the vibes of the current coach, not only is Strickland shown the door, but they're already paying one buyout to pay for another buyout just to be able to bring in somebody that the president feels comfortable with. The timing just fell off, the team is sitting at four and four. The announcement I thought was very risky because depending on what the season looks like down the stretch they're gonna have to play a certain brand of football, but Billy may feel like the guy if he gets the right pieces in. The organization at this point has to say we are all in because you see people in the SEC stick out their chest and boast about we can afford whoever we want.
We can do this our certain way. And then when the push comes to shove and you say all right prove it that they take a couple zeros off of that checkbook and go here you go use this money to go bring in the right players. Well you don't get told no a lot at Georgia and you don't get told no a lot Alabama or Texas or LSU and you're trying to get back to that level of being in that conversation. So boosters and NIL collectives have to realize if you're going all in with Billy you're also got to go all in on the actual process of NIL collectives. Bring in the right players, bring in the right recruits, continue to build the foreground and hopefully things turn the corner. But Billy is certainly on thin ice going into 2025.
Nicole Thompson is joining us here from SEC unfiltered. You named some of the other the big dogs well specifically the the Bulldogs and and we saw that they they're not necessarily you know kind of just going through the season skating on by. Florida had a lead against them and Carson Beck is throwing the ball everybody except for his teammates and so we see them they're going to take on Ole Miss. People looking at Lane Kiffin and going here we go again the guy who can never kind of get over the hump. What are your thoughts on both the Bulldogs and Ole Miss?
We know kind of going in two different directions here. So for Ole Miss this is an elimination game which makes them for my money the most dangerous two lost team in the country because if they don't win it doesn't matter what they do against Mississippi State and the Egg Bowl or Florida and two weeks after the bye their season's over and they have been planning this out for almost a full year. JR we remember what happened last year in Athens Georgia where it was 7-7 after the first quarter and then Georgia said okay let's go to work and the final score was 52-17 and Lane Kiffin went into the press room and said we need to build our offensive and defensive lines our track. It's got to be better if we are going to win a conference championship and so that was the point of emphasis throughout the off season with NIL, with the transfer portal, Walter Nolan, Prince Lee Nguyen, Manley Ellen, Chris Paul from Arkansas. These are players that not only were proven at their former schools they were players proven at schools that already played against Georgia while in the SEC. So they put an emphasis on making sure that this game had been circled on the calendar they were in a competitive nature. On the opposing sideline Kirby Smart even said this past week this may be our toughest test and it's a major testament to what Ole Miss has done because they feel like the most balanced team in the SEC and the numbers back that up they're number one in scoring they're top five in passing they're top three in rushing they're great on third down and defensively they win in two major areas they're number two in the country in run defense which is usually a bread and butter for Georgia on the ground game and they're number six in red zone efficiency they do not allow a lot of teams to score from within side to 20 and if they do it's usually a field goal and this is a game that can easily be turned over people are looking at the roster and saying well how can we trust that we're going to see anything different overnight because Ole Miss spent over six million dollars in NIL collective to go out and add in the right players if there was ever a breakout game that needed to occur for Carson Beck this is the one if you look back at his first 17 games he had 31 touchdowns against five interceptions his last five games 10 touchdowns 11 interceptions this is one of those games where you need Carson back to wake on up I'm not sure he can do so this has been a game that I think Lane Kiffin has been preparing himself for I actually like Ole Miss in this matchup the conversation for the college football playoff we haven't seen a good rushing attack from from Georgia and the passing attack is too inconsistent the one area you can beat Ole Miss is through the air I don't think Carson Beck does it oh wow Nicole Thompson here from SEC unfiltered well obviously a win here would give Lane Kiffin a little bit of grace because we know he typically he can't win the big one no he definitely can I think it also it does wonders for the conversation of putting them in the college football playoff hunt because right now they have two losses by a total of six points including one in overtime on the road in Death Valley against an LSU squad that still is in the hunt for an SEC title and a conference championship at a playoff berth so with the win against the number two team in the country or number three team in the college football playoff rankings that would justify everything that we need to see about Ole Miss they would room with style points they would win with flair they would win with the stats they have a quarterback in a category five Jackson Dartnado as I like to call him going on to the conversation about making it to the Big Apple for the Heisman Trophy as a dark horse there's a reason to believe that with a win on Saturday in front of the home crowd Lane Kiffin has not only secured himself another pay raise from Keith Carter and the athletic staff he's put Ole Miss in a great position to at least make the college football playoff well Cole you mentioned LSU that's another big matchup we have we know Alabama is going through its own transition now that Nick Saban is sitting around on TV Kellen DeBoer is running the show and it feels that LSU things have been pretty quiet for Brian Kelly I mean he's not banging water bottles on tables it seems things have been pretty quiet what do you expect for these two teams out of battling now to four spot in the playoff well as Les Miles once said it's Death Valley a place where dreams truly come to die the only exception to the rule has been Alabama they have won every single night game in Death Valley under Nick Saban until last year in 2022 uh two years ago in 2022 spoiler alert it is a more Nick Saban it's the Kaelyn DeBoer era so does do things change in that vicinity do things end up voting well in favor of Brian Kelly and this really is a playoff elimination game you're not getting in at nine and three unless you have a bunch of other chaos occur throughout the Big 10 throughout the ACC throughout the Big 12 and even then it would be very challenging for a team like LSU because of the head-to-head loss for Texas A&M this isn't going to still be I think for my money the old version of this matchup physicality in the trenches and who can fight for the last yard that is what is going to make this game both of these teams have been stagnant at times when it comes to allowing teams to rush against them Alabama is averaging around 130 yards allowed on the ground but right now they don't really feel like LSU can run the football which is kind of shocking jr when you look at them having one of the best offensive lines headline by Will Campbell and Emory Jones and them having talent out running back Kayden Durham showed you in that Arkansas game he can be an enforcer and a bell cow workhorse when given the opportunity but on the flip side you have the same thing with Alabama Jaylen Milro I talked to some people out in the Alabama country last week they basically said he was playing on his last leg crawling toward the bi-week going up against Mizzou nobody in college football needed a break more than Jaylen Milro they have the passing attack but they have a good ground game in Justice Haynes and Jam Miller can Nick Sheridan dial up schemes that allow them to live in third and short to open up the playbook by putting an emphasis on the ground game can they win between the trenches can they get up to the second level of the defense can they force LSU to have to make some adjustments because if so Alabama still feels like it's Alabama but we were told we have to judge Brian Kelly in year three he mentioned that when he left South Bend came down to Baton Rouge decided to embrace his inner foghorn like horn and made it clear that we judge him in year three we're gonna judge him and we're gonna ponder is he the right guy for the job because even though it is a new era of Alabama football I think Jaylen Milro wants to guarantee him in the college football playoff one more time I got Alabama winning this one by a touchdown okay Cole Thompson here with us from SEC unfiltered final question for you you mentioned some of the warts and typically the warts that the quarterback has for the Georgia Bulldogs do you not see them as potentially being in the championship game is Carson Beck gonna hold them back you know it's a possibility J.R. what's really shocking and don't say this too loud because there's going to be people out there that come for me in the comment section there's a shot that Georgia misses the playoffs all together they still have another game ahead against Tennessee and the one thing about Tennessee this year is even though Nico Iamaliaba has not lived up to his Heisman hype Dylan Sampson has he is the best running back in the SEC far and away he's averaging 6.7 yards per play and Tim Banks the defensive coordinator needs to be a front runner for not just the boils award but also any g5 job that is made available this offseason they are playing ferocious they're doing a great job eliminating explosive plays by wide receivers and this will be another game where they're going to have to trust Carson back to have to win through the air they have got to at least walk away with a victory either against the volunteers at home or on the road against Ole Miss to guarantee a 10-2 season let alone making it to the SEC championship game sometimes it's okay to actually miss the championship though I think a Georgia team that feels like it's confident and can find a way to host a playoff game at the eight seed or the nine seed it might end up being beneficial rather than getting an injury occurring in Atlanta and then they get the first round by or they get the five seed and then we talk about them potentially losing to like a Boise State at home because of inconsistencies I think honestly they would much rather maybe miss that chance as long as they're guaranteed in the dozen dance damn Cole Thompson coming through with the nightmare fuel for all my folks here in Georgia man we'll see what happens I'm confident I don't like Carson back but I got a little bit more confidence in him than you do Cole I'm trying I'm trying I believe that they're going to the playoffs don't take that at all they're going to find a way to make it I still believe that the pathway through the SEC championship resides in Athens Georgia because you got the coach and you got the personnel well good deal well listen I'm I agree with you there they'll go all the way to disappoint that's uh the bulldog way and we'll see what happens hey Cole where can people follow you and all of your work with SEC on filter yeah if you want to check me out it's at mr Cole Thompson on twitter we do live instant reaction shows after every major game on Saturdays we do a live post game show on Mondays we do live reactions

conversation I was like him doing why why do all these Georgia quarterbacks they get hyped up oh man I don't get the hype hype is this look at the horizons look at the NFL look at the guys running around playing QB where the hell do these guys fit in Stetson Bennett where the hell is he doing right now knocking on doors it's the Jr sport re-show here with you coast to coast on the infinity

it looks like to me it's on 34th street where is it 605 fifth avenue it's on fifth avenue between 49th and 48th street oh my god no right by st patrick's cathedral and the rockfeller center plaza it's an office it can't no no no no impossible no well okay are you maybe looking at a supercenter here maybe that's what we need to go to there's a supercenter five miles away from me okay valley stream yeah that probably okay so you're right it was an office because everything else says supercenter so that's on that's on me I think if there was a walmart in new york I don't know they've been fighting walmart forever I didn't know there's a big fight wow interesting you want to have I don't want to say mom and pops not that manhattan is built on mom and pops but could you imagine if they just slapped a walmart in the middle of manhattan like everybody else all those stores in midtown are going out of business the ones that already did like I don't know bed bath and beyond and home is home depot still over there I don't know in that area but I'm sure there's a home depot around somewhere oh my god yeah I guess you're right about that that would just suck up all the business yeah let's put a walmart smack dab everybody is just going out of business yeah walmart is everywhere yeah if you want a t-shirt don't give it to your partner just tell her to go to walmart how about that

being booed unless you you do like that type of thing some people like that they want to be motivated they want to be booed they want to be jeered they want some negativity they feed off of the energy especially in sports last night we talked about it while we were here on the air thank god that the man woke up at the end of the game his name is Jason Tatum well he fell asleep at the end of the game he missed a big play allowing somebody to score the Warriors won 118 over the Celtics 112 Steve Kerr was in Boston and what the hell does anybody care for well Steve Kerr obviously coached Jason Tatum in the Olympics and he told him to have a seat I was expecting like 45 50 points it did not happen Jason Tatum in a loss 32 points 10 or 20 from the field 5 of 10 from downtown there was no no brown he was out with a hip injury and then Steve Kerr he got booed the fans booed him and he appropriately he decided he waved he waved back to the fans how sweet of him Steve Kerr after the game after the boos after the win Steve Kerr was asked do you regret benching Jason Tatum you better give us an answer Steve I mean that's that's this job you know from the beginning in Vegas the whole whole thing was hey we're we're in this together we got 12 hall of famers and we're just committed to winning and we won the gold medal so I don't give it a whole lot of thought other than yeah I didn't I didn't enjoy you know not playing Jason against Serbia not playing Joelle against South Sudan those are those are not fun decisions but our guys were all amazing they committed to each other they committed to winning the gold medal they brought brought the gold home for their country they all handled themselves with incredible dignity and class and that's the real story oh okay the long the short answer is well the long answer is all that nonsense he just said the short answer is no I don't regret not playing Jason we won what the hell is there for me to regret it's not like we went out there and lost and if he did lose they would have whooped his ass in the court of public opinion Steve Kerr what a bum what a loser how do you lose with this team nay one is nothing to regret and Steve Kerr is he does not care good for him golden state warriors pretty damn good this season too happy one of the league best records seven and one as Steph Curry finished last night with 27 points and Buddy Heald is like hey I'm just I'll help you he's 16 man good stuff also getting booed last night Paul George returning to Los Angeles with the Sixers they lost 110 and 98 Paul George 18 points we know he just signed a four-year deal with these Sixers and Paul George said my hometown fans I just left the Clippers why the hell they booing me I wanted to stay yeah it's stupid um I mean I was a free agent you know what I mean I was afraid it wasn't something that I demanded to trade or you know went against the team here like I was a free agent the team presented something that was team friendly um and I did what was best for you for me in that situation um so there was the cheers I appreciate them those were the ones that I played hard for um the boos I I didn't get it I still don't get it when I go to uni um but it is what it is it's sports you know that's that's what's in sports yeah he's like hey I'm a free agent I didn't want to leave I left you know they didn't offer me a deal so I bounced the hell you would you want to stick around out there anyway come on I get it it's home for him even though he's from the desert still close to home uh Hickey did it's Kawhi Leonard
