49ers Are Cooked (Hour 1)

It is! The JR Sportbreef Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Happy Friday to you. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you so much to Super Producer and Host Ryan Hickey coming to you live from New York City. We got a lot to do over the next four hours.

This is when the show gets started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Of course, we're going to talk about Odell Beckham Jr. being released from the Dolphins. Of course, we're going to get into the Heisman. They're finally going to give it away tomorrow.

Well, not give it away. They're going to award the Heisman tomorrow in New York City. We're going to preview some of the NFL action this upcoming Sunday. We got some good games.

Come on now. We got Buffalo at Detroit. We got Pittsburgh at Philly. We got teams trying to get into the playoffs like the Colts and the Broncos.

And then, of course, we're going to talk about what happened last night. No, not Deebo Samuel stinking a joint up, dropping passes. The 49ers had worse. The 49ers had a guy who quit.

What a world it is. How about this? Next hour, we're going to be joined by Eric Edholm, writer for NFL.com.

I want to go through everything going on in the NFL. Bronny James actually had a good basketball game in G League. Couple of people not impressed. LeBron James.

He's out again. Personal reasons. Personal reasons.

He's almost 40 and he's tired. I understand. New York Yankees making some moves here to fill in some gaps with no one. Soto will fill you in there.

And then LeBron James might be out for personal reasons. Of course, we're going to talk about Devondrae Campbell, the soon to be X 49er who decided to quit on his team. We got no quit here on the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you to everybody listening on the free Odyssey app. Your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate, Sirius XM Channel 158. You got a smart speaker?

Ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. And then of course, it's Friday. We're going to formally introduce a new segment in about two hours from now. Friday, funny. We always get the I don't want to say the wackiest of callers on Friday. And it's understandable, understandable. But at the end of the week, people get a little loose.

I have a couple of drinks, it seems like, and they just decide to call up and say wacky things like, hey, why doesn't Lawrence Taylor team up with Bill Belichick on the campus of North Carolina? That is not a joke. That's actually pretty sad.

But you get my drift. And so we had a lot of people calling up last week to lend some humor to North America as we head into the weekend. And so in about two hours from now, we are going to present to you the Friday funny. We're going to give you an opportunity to call up and entertain North America.

You got a good joke? Come on through. We'll get to that in a few hours from now. But before we get there, we have to talk to Eric at home. We'll do that next hour. We have to get into the Heisman. Can't wait till they give that away.

Yes, give it away tomorrow. But we got to we get to the DeAndre in a minute. A new quitter in the NFL every bunch of years we get a new quitter. And now we got one on ask my main man here.

He is no quitter is Ryan Hickey. How are you on this Friday the 13th? Ryan, I just realized it was Friday the 13th because the TV told me so. Oh, yeah. Wow.

I didn't recognize that either. Good call. Good. Well, I guess considering today's Friday the 13th.

No bad luck so far today. So I'll take it. Good. No ladders. No nothing. No.

What did it? No. No black cats.

No weird magic. Although it wasn't Times Square to actually as with some of the Heisman Trophy finalists. They like a lot of media availability earlier today. Beautiful, beautiful in the heart of the worst place in America Times Square. No, the worst place in America Times Square. It's funny some tourists. I was walking near going there.

Yeah, they were in awe of all places. What was it? Not Red Lobster. It was Raising Cane's. That was it.

The new rate. I haven't even seen that out there. I don't know. Well, I guess Raising Cane's is a chain everywhere. It's a chicken place.

They could not be like they were overjoyed. Look, there's Raising Cane's. No. Wow.

Okay. I should go to New York City to get some Raising Cane's. I didn't know Raising Cane's was in New York. But there you have it. I guess it's the only one north.

Chicken and french fries. How exciting, right? To some, I guess so.

That's why you come to New York City now. How big is Ashton Jensie? Is he taller than him?

Of course. Well, not to brag. I am taller than him. Three, four inches, right? He's probably like five nine.

I'm five eleven. Okay. But he's solid. He's solid. I bet. I bet.

Travis Hunter, you know, I was a little surprised. Then a little slender. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He he's he's about he's he's about your build. Well, no, no, he got muscles.

But then he's also. Are you saying I don't? You got muscles like him?

I go to the gym. I mean, like him. Okay, maybe not. Can I play one hundred and fifty snaps a game at the college level? Probably not.

What is this? I know you go to the gym, but you're not built like a college football player. I'm built like that guy. He's probably six one and one really six one one eighty five.

Wow. And he looked it. Yeah, he was pretty thin. Ward is.

Yeah, he looks it on TV. Ward Ward is the biggest dude out there, right? Yes. Yeah. Kenmore is pretty big. Yeah.

The guy's like a truck. And so what do they do? I saw I actually saw some of the video. That's why I'm asking. These guys are just standing around in New York looking miserable. Like, what's the deal? I wasn't there for that part. They tore him around. I think some of the great offerings that Times Square has has to get like the Elmo that wants to rob you in Dirty Mario.

Exactly right. I think one guy in the street was like Sonic the Hedgehog. He was out there today.

It was by the Hulk as well. Was the naked cowboy there? Not that I saw. No, I'm sure he was there somewhere, but just not in the streets.

I was walking busy hustling somebody. Oh, that's all. That's all Times Square is. What giant hustle warming warming himself up in the hotel lobby somewhere. I don't know.

I know one of those heaters. Yeah. I mean, what else is he going to do?

So naked cowboy that got been out there for like twenty five, thirty years. He's not ready to retire. Crazy. He hasn't. He's not ready to pass that on to a kid or something. You'd think he'd make enough money.

Just hang it up, man. No taxes, at least allegedly, of course. Well, there was that woman out there, the naked cowgirl. But I don't know. Was he making money off of her? I don't know. Oh, I didn't.

There was a there was a female version. I did not know that. If that guy was smart, he'd be out here franchising naked cowboys and girls and families and cities all across the world, man. He'd be a pimp, is what you're saying. He's not already. I don't know what that guy does.

Let's get him on there. I'm sure if we asked to talk to him, he'd be here in two seconds. But I'm sure you have some crazy stories to tell as well. And I do not want to hear that. Yeah. A naked cowboy needs to quit. Find something better to do. Guys have got to be almost 50 something.

I don't know. Whatever. Screw that guy.

Forget him. Speaking of telling somebody screw y'all. Last night in what was a boring ass Thursday night football matchup in the rain. And we talked about it here on the air. Sean McVeigh standing around in the rain.

Hair doesn't move. It was boring while we were here on the air. And it was boring afterwards as well. There's really only three stories that came out of Thursday Night Football. The Rams beat the 49ers 12 to 6. The 49ers this season is cooked.

They're done. There's nothing else to discuss when it comes to the 49ers in their year. Or at least making it to the postseason. They have now fallen to 6 and 8. The Rams improved their record to 8 and 6. And we have a look at four field goals.

How exciting for the Rams. And then we saw a great catch by Pukunakua who is just, he's a bully. He's the NFL's new bully wide receiver. There's a, he's tough.

What can I say? Outside of him and Metcalf, those are probably the toughest wide receivers we got. And so the first story is the 49ers are done.

The second one is, and we'll talk about this in a little bit more detail later. Deebo Samuel who complained about not getting the ball earlier in the week. Well, they force fed him the ball and he couldn't catch it.

Next time learned how to shut up and not complain. And then the biggest story and what has just been a sad season for the 49ers when it comes down to injuries is that Devondre Campbell decided he wanted to take his ball and go home. Dre Greenlaw, the starting linebacker, started for these 49ers in the Super Bowl, blew out his leg and last night he made his return. Devondre Campbell has been in the NFL since 2016.

I remember him. He started his career right here in Atlanta, Georgia with the Falcons, went to the cards for a year, was with the Packers the past few, and he was basically holding it down this year for the 49ers as they dealt with injuries. And let's go through some of the injuries. A fellow linebacker in Fred Warner has been playing with what I believe is a broken ankle. They are shooting this man up every game so he can go out there and play.

All right. I just told you about Dre Greenlaw. He just came back last night and it needed to exit the game due to knee soreness. This is when Devondre Campbell said, I don't want to play.

I'm not going in. Do I even need to dive deeper into, you know, Ricky Pearsall getting shot in August? A tragedy, more recent tragedies for the 49ers. We know about Christian McCaffrey out for the season and Brandon Aiyuk out for the year. Trent Williams is currently hurt. He also had a tragedy with his wife and a stillborn son. Personal tra- Trevarious Ward.

This man, he had a daughter who passed about a month ago. Like the 49ers, this is an awful season, not just on the field, but personally for these guys as well. And when you're in a locker room, and I've never been in an NFL locker room, not as a player, but you know that there's a kinship. These guys are around each other all the time in the season, in the season, you know, outside of an off day here or there, you got to dedicate yourself to the other 52 dudes in the locker room with you. This ain't Tiddlywinks. These are not accountants. These guys are busting ass.

Like there's a, this is a fraternity. And Devondre Campbell decided to quit when it was his time to go in. Why? I can only imagine because he was mad and upset that he got benched because the star came back and now you got to take a back seat.

Well now the star needed a blow and you just blew the team off. He's a quitter. He's a crybaby. I don't know.

Is there a larger mental issue here? I don't know. Don't matter to me. He quit. If you weren't going to play, why did you even get dressed? I mean, it was, it was crazy after the game. Kyle Shanahan from the player, from him, the coach to the players, everybody said, man, we, we ain't doing that here.

We don't want to be with no quitter. Kyle Shanahan, after the game, he talked about Devondre Campbell quitting Devondre Campbell. He didn't play and he went into the locker room at some point. Yeah. He didn't say he didn't want to play today during the game or before. No, that was in third quarter. Has that ever happened to you where a player said they didn't want to play a game?

No. Did they create a dissension amongst amongst the team or did it not really affect anyone? No one really noticed people notice, but when someone says that you move on, you don't deal with that anymore. Coach with Devondre opted to not go into the game. What do you need to do to ensure that you don't lose the rest of the locker room?

I haven't lost anybody. That's somebody who doesn't want to play football. That's pretty simple. I mean, I think our team and myself, we know how we feel about that. So I don't think we need to talk about him anymore. Oh, we don't need to talk about him anymore. Wow.

That's the coach. Yeah, I need you. I need you to get into the game. We need you right now. No, I'm not playing. What the hell you out here for?

Why are you here if you're not playing? He just left. He just walked off the field. He had a staffer with him. I don't know if the staffer was trying to convince him.

Hey, man, you screwing up or like, are you sure you want to do this? We don't know. Don't matter. He left third quarter. This man walked off of the field. Reportedly, he was asked in the second quarter to go in and he didn't go in. And then he was asked again in the third. He didn't go in. And then Kyle Shanahan had to talk to the defensive coaches and ask, what the hell is going on with Devondre? And then he went to spoke, speak to him and he said, I'm not going in. And he left. Charvarious Ward plays on the defense for the San Francisco 49ers. He was very prophetic. And really, he's going to be accurate. He says he don't give a damn about this guy because they're going to cut him.

Definitely hurt the team because, you know, D went down and we needed a linebacker, you know, and I think Pham was named up too. So for him to do that, that's some sucker stuff to me. In my opinion, like, it's probably going to get cut soon. So, you know, it is what it is with that. Called him a sucker. Picky that sucker stuff. I like how he called him. He's a sucker. He should have just called him a sucker. He did, really. Yeah, no, he didn't. And very blunt.

He's going to get cut. So who cares? Damn.

Yeah. And Kittle, George Kittle said it as well. Kittle didn't call him a sucker. But George Kittle basically said, man, I don't I don't understand this guy. He's a loser. Don't ask me about this guy.

I don't like distractions on the sideline. I think that's ignorant. And I think it's just dumb. It's just stupid. And it's very immature.

And I just don't I don't see how that's a I just don't see how you can do something like that to, you know, to your team. We've seen this before. OK. Antonio Brown. And he's no longer here.

God rest his soul. Vontay Davis. We have seen NFL players quit. This wasn't the or as an emphatic in fashion as when Antonio Brown decided to rip off his clothes and kind of jog through and off the end zone and went scorched earth and ended up calling an Uber.

We didn't get all of that. But Devontre Campbell has been made very clear. He's done with the 49ers.

It's just a matter of how. Are they going to just cut him? That hasn't been made official yet.

Kyle Shanahan did speak to the media again today and said that he's done with the team. But are they going to suspend him? Are they going to withhold pay?

Are they going to make him not get them paychecks? You know, why? Why would they just release him so he could just end up with somebody else?

And let's also be frank. Why would somebody else want to pick him up? He's a quitter.

If he quit on them, who's to say that he won't quit on you? This is like an old episode of, I don't know, Jerry Springer, Ricky Lake. Hey, you ever seen any of them shows with the cheaters? I have. I've never heard of Ricky Lake, but Jerry, definitely Jerry.

Ricky Lake was a classic. The same concept they used to have the couples on. And it's about, it's all about trust, right?

You bring somebody up on stage and I don't know, one, one partner in the couple is, is a cheater. Been cheating a million times. I cheated 50 million times and I, but I've changed now. I'm different. I'm a new man.

I'm a new woman. And they say once a cheater, always a cheater. Well, if this guy, Devondre Campbell, I mean, if he quit on the San Francisco 49ers, which happened to be one of the best organizations in the NFL, they happen to be one of the more successful organizations in the NFL, not just over the past decade, but historically, if he's going to quit on the San Francisco 49ers, dammit, the guy might as well just leave the league. Maybe some loser ass team will give him a chance because they just need to fill a roster spot. Who the hell wants him? If I'm the 49ers, I'm suspending him. I'm suspending him for conduct, conduct, detrimental to the team. He's only planned for a mill and a half.

What he's kind of, I don't know, Hickey, unless there's a mental issue, he's kind of stupid as well. You only plan for a mill and a half and you're just going to quit at the end of the season. Maybe he is financially secure.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe this year's a drop in the bucket, but I'm trying to collect all my money. I'm not quitting. And the 49ers, unfortunately for them, ain't too much left in this season.

Okay. They got the dolphins. They have the lions. They have Arizona left. The 49ers are cooked. And De'Vondre Campbell, he basically put a stake in them in what was ultimately a winnable game. They could have stayed alive.

Now they're six and eight. Let's be real with all these injuries I told you about McCaffrey, Ayuk, and Trent Williams. There should be no rush for him to come back. Everybody's been hurt. They're done. And this is just a sad way to go out for a team that has just been smacked from the beginning of the season to the end with injuries. I don't even know what to say.

De'Vondre, I hope whatever the hell you do next, I hope you're happy. I just don't think it's going to be any NFL. And it shouldn't be because who the hell wants a quitter?

Nobody wants a quitter. It's the JR Sport Reshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to talk more about the 49ers later in the show. We're going to dive deeper into Deebo Samuel who complained about not getting the ball and then wasn't able to catch it last night. We're going to get into the Heisman. They're going to award the Heisman tomorrow. Is it going to go to Gentsy?

Is it going to go to Travis Hunter? Next hour, we're going to be joined by Eric Edholm to talk some NFL football. We have some good matchups that are coming up this weekend, week 15 in the NFL season.

And there's so much to get into as well on the college side. Quinn Ewers looks like he's going pro. We found out about Bill Belichick going to UNC, but how long is he going to stay? There's a lot to discuss. A matter of fact, speaking of quitting, there's a Miami Dolphin and the Dolphins, they decided to quit on each other. I'll tell you who that is on the other side of the break. We're just getting warmed up on a Friday, Friday the 13th in December. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Hey, shout outs to Manny Pacquiao. That guy always gave you a punch's chance. He always gave it his all. He never quit. There was never a no mas. There was never I'm going to stay down. You only stay down if you got knocked down.

Manny Pacquiao, not a quitter like Devondre Campbell. Sorry. That's that's some bad company. And I know Vonte Davis is no longer here for his own issues. And yeah, look, the NFL and football is brutal. If you don't want to play, I get it.

And I can certainly understand if you're having some type of issue on the sidelines and you just you just can't do it. But like in the game, just just don't get dressed. Don't just don't don't get dressed. But you know what?

He's all these three gentlemen. They're not the first and not going to be the last. I mean, maybe there comes a point in time and you know, I get it. If you're injured, if you're just going through something, if you just come to the realization that, man, this this sucks, I don't want to do this anymore.

If you just don't want to enter the game, then why even show up to work? Hickey, what type of jerk would I be if I just said, Hickey, I'm done. See you later. Bye. Could you imagine if I was seven thirty? I'm out of here.

Yeah, just just left. So I'm going to take it the rest of the way you do. You would do an amazing job. You always do. But I mean, damn, I just left if I just imagine if you just left, if you just left, what will we do?

There'd be no show. Nothing. Oh, you know what? You're right.

I didn't think about that. Good leverage for me. I deserve a pay raise. I'll walk out at any point.

No more Jr. No show. Oh, wow. Hmm. Be back on Monday without you. You know, that's true. Hey, look, if I left, it'd still be a show here. Just wouldn't be me. You know, what can I say?

It's tough, man. Hickey, do you have any any sympathy for him leaving and quitting? Not at all.

No, no. He wasn't getting his way. He's upset about his role and he quit on his team. I mean, I respect the 49ers basically saying, oh, you're done because the same thing happened to the Ravens, right? With Deontay Johnson, where they said, hey, get in there. He said, no, thanks. Game a one game suspension that said he should be off the team.

Like, I don't know how you get the respect back from your other teammates at that point. You're right. You're right. The audacity to just quit.

Chris quit. Cross your mind. It had to like the Campbell had to be stewing about this for days.

Had to be thinking about this all day. He's like, oh, Dre is back. You knew that you knew they won't give him his job back once he was healthy. But now he's back and now you're in your feelings. Come on, man. Some of these guys are just I don't understand. I get it.

Emotions run high. I never tackled nobody in the NFL. I never ran after anybody. Nobody ever hit me. I'm trying to keep it that way. And I ain't good enough. But there's just certain aspects of people given up that that just don't jive with me.

I don't give a damn what what job it is. We'll get more into the 49ers later on in the show. Earlier today, not too long after all this Devondre news was just bubbling from last night into the morning. We learned early this morning that Odell Beckham Jr. Yes, he has played in the NFL this season. Maybe you missed them.

It wouldn't be hard to. Odell has been released from the Miami Dolphins. They're done.

They say it's you know, this is a mutual decision. Well, it's probably mutual because Odell wasn't getting a ball. And not unusual that Odell wouldn't get the ball because let's keep in mind they have Tyreek Hill. They then have Jalen Waddle. They then have John O'Smith.

Those are the three top pass catchers in order. Then you have A-Chan coming out of the backfield who is certainly a weapon. And I mean, you got this rookie Washington who has almost as many catches as Odell.

Like Tuatanga Veloa. And then let's also keep in mind Tuatanga was out. He was out cold for a few weeks or not a few weeks, but he was out because he was not cold. And now, you know, we got Tuatanga Veloa back and he's going to deliver the ball to the people he's most comfortable with and Odell is not a part of that. Let's also remember Odell was gone throughout training camp because of a knee issue.

Another one. Odell missed the first four games of the season on the PUP list. And so Odell won the season.

It's bad. These numbers suck if you are Odell. By the way, he turned 32 years old last month. Odell Beckham Jr., nine catches, 55 yards in nine games. This is someone in his prime when he was healthy.

You could count on Odell to get you out on 1200, 1300 yards, you know, five to 10 touchdowns with them days are over because he's just been hurt, man. He was the offensive rookie of the year. 1300 yards, 12 touchdowns. He did that in 12 games.

He made you go, whoa, what can he do in a full season? Well, it's like, we'll never know. Broken ankle. Sad. Torn ACL. Sad.

Tore his ACL again in the Super Bowl. Sad. Missed all of the 2022 season.

Sad. Played for the Ravens last year. Not bad. 565 yards, three touchdowns in 14 games. And then they get to the postseason and he has to have another knee procedure that is vague and quiet. He signs with the Dolphins late. Doesn't practice like this is we will not see Odell.

His days are behind him. Like what we saw last year is probably the max of what he'll get the rest of his career. I mean, I'd be shocked if he went over a thousand yards in another system. Shocked. He's probably due for half of that. Somewhere else. If he can stay healthy.

That's the part that stinks. He and Rappaport, NFL Network. He talked about the Dolphins releasing Odell. Odell Beckham Jr. and the Dolphins are mutually parting ways, according to colleague Tom Pellicero. He's got nine catches, 55 yards on the season.

Simply was not working out. So he now heads to wait. Yeah. Now he he'll be eligible to go anywhere. I don't know. Is he going back to Baltimore? No, I don't know. Going to the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know.

I mean, they're hoping that Hollywood Brown comes back. Is he going to the Buffalo Bills? I don't know. Does he need to play somewhere cold? I don't.

Probably not. Going back to the Rams, what they need him for. Pukas catching all the balls. I mean, Cooper Cup didn't even have a catch last night. Picky, what you think is next for Odell?

The unemployment line? I think so at this point, just with the injuries, his inability to get on the field, stay on the field, produce on the field. I mean, I get it's a low risk, right, for any of the teams you just listed and for teams like the Chiefs who are getting healthier, but still could use another weapon. The Bills, you know, never really going to say no to another weapon. I just I don't know how you can expect anything from him at this point. If we think about the teams that are currently in playoff position, could the Chiefs use them? Yeah, whatever. Do the Bills need him?

Not really. The Steelers. Maybe the Texans.

Give him a look. I don't think so. Right. I mean, Diggs is out. No, Ravens probably not. The Chargers. You go to Chargers. We know this man is not going to the Broncos is cold.

I wouldn't put him in a cold weather city because of his legs. And then if you think about the the NFC side, Lions sure as hell don't need him. Eagles are still trying to figure out how to get the ball to A.J.

Brown. They're not taking him on. Seahawks don't need him. Jackson Smith and Jigba.

He's sucking all the air out of the room. Metcalf is a blocker right now. Only has two touchdowns on a year. Why would Odell go to the Bucks? They could use a wide receiver opposite Mike Evans.

I don't know. Maybe a little career rejuvenation there. Vikings don't need him. Packers don't need him. Commanders?

I don't know. Hickey, maybe the Bucks might be the best option. Win the NFC South because the Falcons suck. You know, have a good chance to get some catches in.

Baker will throw you the ball. They did play together in Cleveland. Do you remember how that time in Cleveland ended? Oh, with his dad on social media?

I don't know if that would work out. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right.

His dad was killing Baker. You're right about that. And the Browns basically were kind of forced to choose, right? Quarterback of the receiver. They chose the quarterback rightfully so. Yeah.

And it seemed like even there was a divide in the team. I don't know if there'll be a welcoming back there from Baker. This is why you don't burn. Well, listen, Hickey, let's put it this way, by the way. Baker Mayfield is suing his own dad, OK? Maybe Baker Mayfield doesn't get along with anybody. Maybe Odell's dad was right, OK? I don't know.

I don't know. Who am I to say? Damn, suing his own dad. Hickey, I don't want to joke about that. I'm not going to joke about that. But that's tough.

He's suing his dad for stealing from him. Man, damn, bruh. Very sad. How do we get there?

I don't know. You pray that that never is going to happen to you as a parent. Oh my God. But I don't have any kids, so I can't exactly relate or have an idea of why you ever think about that from a father's perspective when I steal from my son. Hickey, if I got older and my son sued me, I'd have to punch him in the face. Have to punch him. What if you had to steal from your kid?

Punch yourself in the face. Oh my God. Well, we don't know. We don't know. It appears that he did steal from his own dad. Allegedly right. There allegedly everything. Allegedly everything. No lawsuits here. Can you imagine what his dad is sitting around doing?

His dad is sitting around, man. I had to wipe that kid's ass and now he's suing me for money. Maybe he stole it. Maybe he did it.

I don't know. It's tough, man. That is tough.

Imagine being Baker. This is supposed to be the most trustworthy person in your life. And all of a sudden I go in my bank account and oh, where's all the money? He stole 12 million bucks. No small sum. Didn't give it back.

Allegedly. Didn't give it back. What you're stealing, man, is worse than it. Pay Mizzou Harris stealing from Shohei. Oh my God.

Marco Belletti, what are you doing? If one of your kids sues you in like 15 years, if I stole 12 million from them, they deserve it. What if you did and they just wanted to sue you? Yeah, we got a problem. Yeah, no, we got a problem. I'm you punching my kids in the head.

Then we got real problem. That's where allegedly comes in. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly.

A lot of allegeds. Yes. Man, that's tough. Hey, you got a good point. This is why you don't burn bridges. Odell Beckham Jr. would have had the perfect spot to latch onto a team, get the ball thrown in his direction, and then maybe try to make a good showing for another contract next year.

But you brought up an excellent point. Odell's dad was on social media putting up videos about how Baker Mayfield could not throw him the ball. That's why players don't talk about other players, man, let alone have their dads go out there and do it. Sometimes, you know, these folks need to just just shut up. Don't burn no bridges.

Now, we know why Soto changed his number and didn't talk to any of the Yankee players. Cut off all the ties from everybody. Why?

Walk away. He's cold blooded like what? There you go. Oh, they were talking about his belly yesterday. Did you see that? I did see that.

I got to be I got to be fair. I thought it was photoshopped when that I saw that that was all the picture. This is belly. Oh, that's a problem. It's December.

What's he doing? Drinking beer and eating, you know, steak? Probably right. Yeah, man. But like seven sixty five, I could get in shape between January, February, show up in March like nothing.

Twenty six. And start to expand like Cabrera did after that big contract. Miguel. Miguel Cabrera. Yep.

It'll look like Miggie soon. They're going to put him at first base and put him at DH. Oh, man. Wow. It's stupid. National League rules. Now I got DH. Stupid baseball rules. Do we get and not just the golden at bat? Do we get like the golden you swing the bat and then somebody else has a can run for you the second you hit the ball?

That'll come in soon. And then you don't have to leave the game. Somebody can run for you and you can keep on swinging. Take take you at bats.

Yeah, that's coming soon. Right. Well, if that's the case, then you could play until he's 60 and just swing in the bat.

I don't think the guy, you know, God rest his soul. He ain't Tony Gwen, you know. So he's starting to look like Bartolo Colón soon. Hickey, go ahead. Say something. No, I just love the Yankee bitterness. This is this one move. I've never seen an entire fan base shock the way the Yankee fan base is shook. Juan Soto now sucks.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I saw him in the pool shirtless twelve hours before that picture came out. It looked pretty good to me. But pretty chiseled to me.

Well, I got a guy who hit thirty five home runs driving one hundred twenty twenty up guys to me. Not at the belly. He's in the pool. You can't see his belly, his upper body. You saw most of the stomach. He looked pretty ripped. But we can brand the video again. Look, if this is one of those cases where the picture is not actually accurate, just a bad angle like the Jeter one when he was there. Yeah. And it wasn't legit.

He actually wasn't fat. It was just a bad angle. Then so be it. Then it's fine. It's nothing. If it wasn't and that's actually his stomach, brah, you better start getting the cardio going because that's not 26. You shouldn't be that big. He's fine.

Hickey, don't worry about it. I'm rooting for the Mets and the Yankees, OK? So you're a winner either way.

You're damn right. I'm rooting for the Yankees. One side of Pincharz for the other. No, I will root for the Yankees at all times unless they play in the Mets. And then I'll root for the Mets. You're going to get a Mets-Soto jersey? Hell no. Come on. No. The last Mets jersey I had was Derrick Bell. OK, so it sounds like you're due for a new one.

It's like twenty five years ago. Am I due for it? Am I really? No, I don't think so. How about Lindor? You want to Lindor 12?

I can get it for you for Christmas. No, I'd rather have their money, not their jerseys. Give me give me money. OK, find me some money. Go rob a bank.

No, I got to do the dirty work. I got to get you a nice Mets jersey and not now all of a sudden commit a crime or I'm going to jail for a decade. Listen, we got we got a lot of examples of how you could commit a crime and get away with it. So go ahead and try. Well, get away with it for now.

A couple of days. Don't mess around. Go away. Go to Altoona and go.

Not that tough. You know, let's just put my whole plan on the radio. We're going to go to Central Pennsylvania, rob a few houses, leave.

I'll give you the money. No one's going to know. I'll avoid McDonald's. No, don't wear a mask. You'd be good. Piece of cake.

Well, wear a mask and make sure not to pull it down for cute girls trying to talk to me and I'll be good. Yeah, no, no. Isn't that what happened in the Garden of Eden? It happened a long time ago. Adam and Eve?

Yeah. He listened. He was trying to talk to the woman. And yeah, it wasn't the woman. I thought it was a woman who got him in trouble first. Now we're all screwed right now.

What happened? Well, I know Adam did listen to the serpent. The serpent was the one tempting him.

I don't know who told him to go. It was Eve. Eve. Eve. The serpent told Adam what not to do and then Eve convinced him to do it.

I mean, Jay's right. That's the story. I don't think that's... Oh, that's the story. No, the serpent, no. God told Adam, this is what you should not do. He told both of them. The serpent was saying, oh, just come on over and take the body of the apple, whatever it is. And she convinced him.

I'm with JR. I've heard this story. I'm pretty sure that's what it was.

She convinced him. That's what I'm saying. You got to explain a lot. You got to be careful. That's the case. This guy was trying to get sexy with the lady and he got caught. Okay. That's the moral. Yeah, that's the moral of the story. Don't get sexy with the ladies.

It's the worst thing that will ever happen to you in your life. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Speaking of sexy with the ladies, we're going to talk about the new head coach of North Carolina on the other side of the break. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. We talked about Odell Beckham Jr. They say it's a mutually, a mutual parting of the ways between he and the Dolphins.

Don't believe it. He wasn't getting passes thrown his way. He's like, I don't want to be here. That's basically what happened and they're going to cut him. And we all know about Devondrae Campbell, who decided to quit on the San Francisco 49ers last night. As someone who did get hired this week, introduced to the media yesterday is Bill Belichick. And of course we know Bill Belichick sat up on that stage in Chapel Hill. He basically said, listen, I am not here to leave, but it has been reported that in his contract there's a buyout clause that Bill Belichick, he has to pay back all $10 million if he decides to leave before the summer of 2025.

Let me remind you, the summer of 2025 is six months away, five, six months away. And so basically if Bill Belichick wakes up and just changes his mind, man, there's no first year contract. He has to give the money back. There's a buyout. Hey Bill, you, you gotta pay us. Basically ensuring that Bill Belichick sticks around in year number one, year number one and does his job.

And so there is a great safety precaution for North Carolina just in case things do change once we get past the Super Bowl and jobs open up. You know, who's to say that there's not a feeler out there? I don't know. Let's say, I don't know. The Philadelphia Eagles come calling in and saying, man, we, we would love to have Bill. Bill, would you reconsider? I gotta be honest though. Wilder things have happened. Bill would look like a massive jerk. If he went through all this pomp and circumstance and beat Duke and my dad was here, he'd look like a gigantic ass, not as much as Devontre Campbell, but he looked like a super jerk if he just left.

He absolutely would. But I will say at least timing wise for 2025, it's not realistic. Like who, the, the buyout drops right June 1st.

Who's hiring him on June 1st? Oh, well I'm saying it is before it has to take place before, right? Right.

So if he decides to leave, he has to pay. Yeah. Okay. No, yes. I agree. I think he took this job because no team's going to offer him a job. Oh, he'd have to, he'd have to have strong feelings against that. Uh, feel strongly that that is the case. Ah, the safety precautions there.

People. I think Bill Belichick, even for his own, you know, I don't think Bill Belichick is no, no shyster. We know he's a cheater.

Sorry. Uh, he is, he got the flake Gates by gate. We know that, but I don't think he's going to damage, damage his reputation at this stage in life.

If he was younger than maybe sure. Oh, I changed my mind. I had a change in heart. We've had plenty of coaches and speaking of people quitting. Well, we had, we had a Patrino quit. This man quit and just left the Falcons.

I know we talk about players. This man, this man's just said I'm leaving and he wants to coach Arkansas. This guy's just a quitter. I don't think we're getting Belichick doing that for a job before he left. I think he would damage his credibility. I don't see it happening. Uh, one thing that, that is actually going to happen, we learned via a report that Quinn Ewers is actually gonna leave and go to the NFL. Thank God.

I'm sick of this guy. Let's see what he does in the college football playoff. And then let's see what Quinn Ewers does in the draft because that is exactly where he's going. Making way for Arch Manning.

Fingers crossed. All of the way to see Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers. Well, I think you said first round, what late first round you said somewhere in the first round.

I think it could be even higher than late. Quinn Ewers, uh, the second round draft pick. Don't show up on the first day, Quinn.

I don't, uh, don't think it's going to work out for you. I think we got some other QBs, guys like Chidor Sanders and Cam Ward. I think these are guys that'll be selected before him. Is he going to be the third guy taken? Dylan Gabriel going before him? We got more football to play. And a matter of fact, we're going to take a break.

When we come back on the other side, let's talk about a few of those men, those young men I just mentioned, because they are in New York City. The Heisman will be awarded tomorrow. Will it be Travis Hunter? Ashton Genti? Does Cam Ward?

Do Dylan Gabriel, do they stand a chance? I'll tell you on the other side. It's the JR sport re-show. Infinity Sports Network. Don't move.
