Did Victor Wembanyama Get Scammed? (Hour 4)

This day in sports history is going to be a lot of fun, but we'll do that at the end of the show. This is the last hour of the show. How the hell we got here? I have no idea. They say Tom flies when you're having fun.

I guess that's true. I'm having a good old time. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you for listening wherever you might be. All my people in Hawaii, to Maine, to Canada.

I don't care if you're in Vancouver or Montreal. Thank you for tuning in. Shout out to my people in Florida.

I guess y'all are being warm, I guess? Super producer and host Ryan Hickey. He's in New York City. Wherever you are, you can always listen to the show starting at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific on the free Odyssey app. You can listen on your local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. Wherever you live, I don't know where you live. I don't know what radio station it is.

Depending on where you live, I probably do, but I don't know where you live. Hey, Sirius XM Channel 375. If you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. And then if you if you have YouTube, I mean, most people watch YouTube.

Right. I think you can watch a live stream of this show. Shout outs to everybody watching me live.

On the Infinity Sports Network, YouTube, just search Infinity Sports Network, YouTube, and then the stream will pop right on up. As I said, I'll be here for one more hour. I've been hanging out for three.

It's Wednesday. I gave you a new top six list. We took a look at some of the best coaching jobs and opportunities in the NFL right now for coaches. And I gave you the worst. I'll give you a quick recap in a second.

And we've we've gone through so much more. Quinn Ewers letting everyone know that he's moving from Texas, no longer a Longhorn. He's looking to throw the football in the NFL. Good luck.

Good luck with that one. We talked about Jimmy Butler telling everybody again he wants to be traded from the Miami Heat. They could trade him to Mars right now for all I care. Mike Tomlin says I am being traded anywhere. So don't even bother calling the Steelers. We talked about the Dallas Cowboys and Dion. Michael Parsons is missing. Mike McCarthy.

So is Dak Prescott. We talked about that crazy jackass fan in Philadelphia who verbally assaulted that woman Packers fan. And did you see this guy who got fired from his job who was yelling at this lady? He says that the couple they were egging him on. That's what he said. Hmm.

They were going back and forth. Hmm. Hmm.

Who do you believe, Jarrah? I don't know. I know there is no justification for that. I know that much.

I would agree. How do you say that? How do you say that to a woman or let alone it? She just she's just there.

I don't know. How do you say that really in public? But that's a strong, strong verbiage. Oh, yeah.

To say the least. Anyway, Philly, but Philly needs a hug and they need a hug. I'm going to set up a hug stand in Philly.

Hickey go right into the center city and I'm going to get a desk. I'm going to get a kiosk and I'm going to give away free hugs. No, no, no. You don't like that idea? No bad idea. Bad idea. Why? If I give away free hugs, won't people be kinder and warmer? Some bring some love to the city.

Real love. Hmm. I don't know. I think you're setting yourself up there. Here's an here's an idea. Why don't we do a show live from Center City and in commercials and before we do the show, we give away hugs. And then we do the show live from outside. I think we're setting ourselves up here for a major disaster.

I don't know if the free hugs would be reciprocated. I feel like this is just screaming H.R. lawsuit right now.

H.R. lawsuit? What? To give hugs? There's always someone that takes it the wrong way. A free hug?

Isn't there somebody who stands in New York City in one of the parks just like free hugs? You know what? I don't know. You know what, Hickey? Forget it.

Forget all of that. You want to know why I know this is great? Here in Piedmont Park in Atlanta. There's a there's a friend of mine, a friend of mine. She's a she's a mother.

There's a group of moms like when we have festivals, they have a tent, which is like moms giving away free hugs to people who need them. And I think it's a wonderful. On the surface, it sounds like a very good idea. That's what I'll say. I think I think that, you know, the problem is with this day and age there in general is that people take advantage of the rules. They bend them.

They take things too far. I'm just I'm just saying. I see free hugs all day. I'm going to Google free hugs. And you go if you walk by someone that says free hugs, you're going to give a hug. No, I give I give them free hugs in Atlanta because I know them.

If you didn't know a stranger on the street and you walk by and they had a little booth that said free hugs, you're giving them a hug. A man. No woman. Woman, yes. Yeah. See, if I get I begin scanning to set me up to like where they're going to give me a hug and then dig in my back pockets to my wall and get out of there.

Yeah. But if we have a radio set up there and microphone, I'm doing free hugs. People give us hugs. Come on. Maybe in a different city. Besides Philly. OK, damn. The free hugs campaign.

Free hugs is a real life controversial story of one man, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. This is why we need to do this in Philly. Come on, man. You've been a patron saint of Philly. You turned around the attitude of everybody just by giving away hugs every day.

Am I getting like somebody on jab me in my torso with a sharp object? Like probably. We'll have the yeah, but I don't know. Virtual hugs. We'll do virtual hugs first.

I would that outside. I think that's a good idea. How do you virtual hugs? How do you do a virtual hug? And if you sign up right now, we'll give you a virtual hug and a can of free air or I'm sorry, a free can of our premium marriage.

That's the better way to free. We have levels we have. Of course, we have to have levels. We have regular free. We have regular air.

And then we have. What's the difference between regular and premium? Nothing. We're going to sell it up. Sell it. Let people think there's a difference.

Just like most things that are upscale. Right. So you're just telling everybody against scam. OK, well, all right. We're just going to delete this this this. I'm just I'm just taking notes again.

And also VIP is where I got a VIP level. Hickey, we will sell. We will sell shirts that say leader of men.

We will sell cans of free cans of free air. All right. Just continuing the list.

That's it. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. As I did give you with you and share a list of some of the best coaching jobs available in the NFL. And number six, I gave you the Jets. Who wants to work there? Nobody. And number five, I give you the Cowboys. Who wants to work there?

Nobody. Not for Jerry. And then before I gave you the Saints. Number three, I gave you Jacksonville. At least they got a quarterback and a patient owner.

Naive owner. And number two, I gave you the Bears. I like the Bears. They got a quarterback. I believe in Caleb as the future. I'd love to coach him. There's a reason to Ben Johnson's the Aaron Glens is a reason why all these guys are interviewing with the Bears. They're not stupid. And you got the Raiders.

One reason. Tom Brady. Good luck.

Hickey, what do you think is the best job available? I think it's the Bears. I'm still a believer in Caleb Williams, like the offensive talent around him as well. I know it's a tough division, but I think that's a team with the most talent, quickest turnaround. And I think best, at least in projecting the future, I think that the quarterback with the most potential. That's wow. Good for them.

Bears have been looking for a quarterback in the team's entire existence. What do you think is the worst job, Hickey? I agree with your list. I think it's the Jets slightly over the Cowboys. Terrible. Just Woody Johnson doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

It's so bad. The only thing that I will give him credit for it. I do kind of teeter totter back and forth between the Jets and the Cowboys. Because at least while Woody can't get it right, the motivation for him though is to try to get it right. Every move he makes is to try to win. I can't say that about Jerry Jones.

A lot of moves he makes I think are more about attention and headlines than winning. And so if you have an owner that is not motivated or his sole focus is not on winning, I think at that point incompetence is more attractive than ignorance. There's no winning without one of these teams.

The Dallas Cowboys one day will win a championship before the Jets. It might be like 15 years from now. Or 20. Or 30. Yeah, Jerry won't be around in 30. Hickey, can Jerry Jones be around in 30 years? I would not put it past. I was about to ask, at least there will be an ownership change. That sounds pretty harsh.

I take that. Well, his son will still have that. Will his son know better? Is his son going to be like, I'm going to be like my dad? Could you imagine that? I mean, he can't.

No, I don't think so. He could think that he's a know-it-all. Definitely. And I have to make the decision. That would be the worst decision. Or he could be like, hey, I'm not going to be like my dad. I will own the team, but then actually bring in help to actually run the football operations. That would be the best case.

Or he could just be an idiot like his father. I'm going to hire a GM and let them do the work. You're a billionaire. Do you really want to be scouting? Do you want to go to the Senior Bowl?

Right. Do you want to be watching, you know, South Dakota State tape to watch a linebacker? You may take in a sixth round. I'd be on my yacht.

I would too. Not looking at Dak. Hey, bro, how's your leg?

I don't care. I'll see him when I see him in September. Somebody will tell me about his leg.

You're looking at other legs, not his leg. Come on, man. You know, Rex Ryan. Yeah, I'd be doing the Rex Ryan. Jerry Jones is more concerned with his players legs and feet and Rex Ryan is. Well, let's leave Rex Ryan alone. Rex Ryan is a very confident man. I give him credit for that.

Very positive man. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Connor is here from Ohio. You're on the JR sport show.

What's up, Connor? Hey, you have a fantastic show. And I, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you. So thank you for putting out your best on the airwaves each and every night of the weekday. So I appreciate you, JR. Well, thank you. I appreciate you taking my call.

Now we have a great drop. Thank you. And except two things. Yeah. Number one, I disagree putting the same as the Saints before Jacksonville.

And the reason is because you put this may not sound like it relates at all, but I'll make it really trust me. You put the Jets in the last and as the worst, the worst job for coaching. Yes. And you said because of the owner, correct? Yes, correct. So you also said that Jacksonville's owner is naive and happened to have the twenty two million stolen from him. Correct. So doesn't I'm not saying he's a bad owner.

And I guess technically Woody Johnson qualifies as a bad owner. But it doesn't it kind of fall on the same line of naive owner is perhaps no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, wait, wait, wait. I'm not I'm not I'm not going where you think I'm going. No, I don't know. No, I don't know where you're going. I'm going to respond to what you said already. OK. Well, the answer is I know we're running out of time. I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no. It's all good.

We got a lot of people here. But here's here's the deal. I am not putting Woody Johnson in the same category as shot. And neither am I. Neither am I. And if we want to talk about just who they are as as owners, Woody Johnson has to defend himself and his team.

Against allegations that his teenage son is providing advice on roster decisions for the New York Jets. I know. Yeah, I've already I've already made jokes about it. Well, great.

Well, let me finish. That isn't that's Woody Johnson's category shot. Khan's son is a grown man and his son is doing AEW professional wrestling, which is seems like a whole lot more sense. Hey, instead of having my son make football decisions, I'm going to give him money to have a wrestling show. Yeah, he might be getting robbed by his own employees. And by the way, I'm not saying this in a joking way. Working for Shaq Khan is not a bad idea because, A, he's patient and then B, he's naive enough to get robbed.

I think if you're looking for a job who doesn't want a job where they can just show up to work and make money, you don't really got to worry about the boss breathing down your neck. It's not the worst thing in the world. I actually think it's a good thing. OK, fair point. Fair point. Except, OK, I you know, you swayed me here, but the one the other thing that I'm also not quite sure is a good reason to talk about and put out there that Jacksonville is a good spot. It's saying that you can just make money going.

I don't know if you're joking about that or not. Make money. Make money. Just make money.

Just go in there. Of course, you're going to make money by stealing from the owner. I don't know if it's all that. Well, he's my point overall is he's patient. He's just that is a great, great trait to have.

And it's very, very good. And he's naive. Who doesn't want to work for somebody and just steal money?

Why not? Urban Maya went there and stole money. Except for he was too stupid. He messed his money up. He's a dummy and he still made that money.

By the way, he just got fired. Yeah, I like people make their own decisions. Idiots will steal money from other people. We know that. So they would know any translator. He was an idiot. Cheating on your wife.

That's what Urban Maya did. I appreciate you, Jayar. You swayed me and you have some great points. I appreciate you, man. Have a great rest of your show. You too, Connor. Don't cheat on your wife. Don't plan on it. OK, good stuff, Connor.

Thank you so much. Picky, that was Jayar wisdom, right? Don't cheat on your wife.

That was maybe the best Jayar wisdom that has been given out on the show so far. Unless she cheats first. Yes. Yes.

I know. Oh, you're not supposed to agree with me. Well, she's cheating first. And at that point, the man, if she's cheating first, is it still cheating if you do it, too?

I would probably say no. Oh, you're a cutthroat, Hickey. Oh, my God. I am just being honest now. Like if I'm just thinking that happened to me. I'm not feeling bad. Oh, I'm breaking up with them. Oh, so it's not cheating anymore. No, but, you know, maybe I'm also spiteful.

Maybe before I break up, I say, you know, I find I want you. I don't want you to get in trouble here. No. Well, I would never do it.

And my girlfriend would do it. I'm just saying if I walked in tomorrow and all of a sudden I see someone that's not me. Well, what's going on here? Oh, man, that's. Yeah, I'm going scorched earth. And if that means doing get a little payback, then I'm. Whoa.

I'll do what I got to do. That'll never happen to you. It will never happen. Never happened.

Never. So I agree with your wisdom. Oh, good. Yeah. I forgot with my wisdom.

I said, don't cheat on your wife. Period. Period. Stop. That's an incentive. Nothing else.

They don't cheat on your spouse better. Everybody. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Kenny is calling from Georgia. You're in the chair. Our sport.

We show us up, Kenny. Hey, J.R., how are you doing tonight? Excellent.

Good. Staying warm. I know it's getting cold down here, too. But this weather sucks in Georgia right now.

Yes. No fun. But yeah, I just want to say, you know, if I'm a if I'm a guy like Ben Johnson looking forward to next year, I might just go ahead and focus on the Super Bowl this year and try to win that in Detroit, see if they can do something they've never done, rather than taking one of these jobs with the franchise that's been stuck in mediocrity for 20 years. Well, you know, you want the pay bump.

I mean, if he wins the Super Bowl, then he can get a job and make more money. Why not? Right. That's that's true. That's true.

You know, breaking up something that that might be special up there. But, you know, if they do win the Super Bowl, then you accomplish what you want to do and go somewhere else. But if they fall short, then I don't know if I'm leaving for one of these six jobs still available. Do you think you just stick around and try to win a Super Bowl again?

I mean, there comes a point in time where it's just the money that's staring you in the face is this. And, you know, these coaches are not dumb. These guys get hired to get fired. It's really that simple.

And so, you know, you're going to a team and you want to look. I don't think Ben Johnson is waking up and going, I'm going to coach the Jets. A matter of fact, the Jets aren't even dumb enough to request an interview with the guy. They don't want to be embarrassed. Don't blame them.

That definitely makes sense. And no doubt about it. Hey, Kenny, you stayed. You stay warm to OK. You too. Thank you, sir. No doubt about it. Kenny called from Georgia eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. I'll get some more your calls on the other side of the break. I'm telling you, there's always somebody trying to scam somebody out here, even if it's the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a matter of fact, when we come back, I'm going to tell you, like, did Victor Wenbanyama get scammed? Did he get scammed? We talked to somebody mentioned Ohtani getting hustled. And I'm telling you about Shaad Khan and one of the most popular players in the NBA.

Did he get flim flam? We'll talk about it on the other side. It's the J.R. sport we show coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.

Don't move. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief. 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. Man, today's show's been a lot about love. And hate. We had the disgusting fan in Philadelphia who was verbally assaulting that lady.

This guy lost his job because he went viral. Talk about love. Eagles players talk about how much they love and appreciate Nick Sirianni. Taking the proverbial bullet for them in their actions. Hi, A.J.

Brown. Hey, we got the Dallas Cowboys, Dak Prescott and Michael Parsons. They're like, yeah, we're gonna miss Mike McCarthy. We love that guy. I suggested to Hickey, I said, listen, I said, we should give away free hugs in Philadelphia. He's like, no, man, that's a bad idea.

Trying to give away some love. And he said that the people may hate me or us. Hickey didn't want to participate.

And that's that's fine. We live in such a world. Where is the Hickey? They had a whole song about that.

Remember Black Eyed Peas? Where's the love? Where is the love?

Where is the love? Yeah, that was it. I wasn't accused to sing. That was a theme song. No.

Where's the Hickey? We need the world needs that song every year, every day. I would wake up and play that song if it didn't drive me crazy. Wait, so you don't like the song?

I like the concept of this. So I feel with that Pharrell song. How many times do I need to hear Happy? Oh, my God. Is that done? Are we done with that yet? Happy and his hats, too. Oh, Pharrell hats. Yeah. Wasn't that movie was with penguins, right? Despicable was penguins, penguins. Where did that where that song come from?

Oh, oh, you think I'm happy with the penguins, right? Happy Feet is yes about paying. I don't know if that's what that's what the song came from. It was a soundtrack to a movie or was it.

I think it was Despicable Me with the little yellow guys. Yeah. Oh, I know it is a soundtrack. Interesting.

The minions, I think they are the minions. Yeah. Look at you. I've never I've never seen a movie. You know enough. I think. Yeah, I know what they are. They've been around. I think they have they've had spin offs, I think. Yeah, they're pretty popular. The minions, the minions. I know they don't talk. I've seen them.

I've seen a minion or two. Anyway, speaking. Well, no, let's stay away from that transition. Victor, when Benyama saw a small child. OK, Victor, when Benyama is seven foot four, seven foot five basketball phenom for the San Antonio Spurs, the guy who blocks all the shots. Shoots threes dunking from the free throw line. He had a basketball freak from France. He was playing against the Brooklyn Nets a couple of days after Christmas.

And because Victor, when Benyama is a nice guy, he was outside playing chess with fans. And after the Brooklyn Nets game, he saw a tiny little fan. Dare I call this child? Is it OK to call a kid a minion?

Is that all right? I think I say different and word minion is perfect. That's that's not a nice word. You can't say that anymore. I know.

And that's why I was I was afraid for a second. I said, oh, thank you. Right. You could we could say this, right?

Former college football coaches can say it. I think I know what you I'm trying to remember who you're from. It's an older clip from the course. I was actually pretty funny. Oh, yes, I know. Yeah, yeah. That's why I remember.

No, you can't call. Well, he's a child. He's a short child. He's whatever he is. This short child had on a Victor when Benyama jersey. And this is the holidays, right?

Everybody's supposed to be in a loving and friendly, amazing mood. So what did Victor when Benyama do? This man is seven foot six.

This kid isn't even two feet tall. Victor when Benyama goes over to him and he hands him his jersey, his game worn jersey that night. And Victor when Benyama and a cute little, you know, show of appreciation, he took this kid's jersey, which looks like in Victor when Benyama's hands that it could fit on a Barbie doll. OK, or can whoever the hell you like, whatever. And so they did a jersey swap.

A matter of fact, listen to this. This is the most adorable thing over the holidays. The little kid, the giant. Oh, they switched jerseys. This is from the Yes Network.

Ninety six to eighty seven. Victor when Benyama comes to Brooklyn gives fans something to remember. Somebody's getting the Wendy's jersey. Lucky kid. Lucky kid. Oh, yeah. Switch it out. Yeah.

Switch it out. Love it. Love it.

Well, it was so sweet. Giant basketball player, little child, the jersey is taller than the kid. Well, the kid doesn't have the jersey.

This kid's father was standing right next to him getting the photos. This jersey that Victor when Benyama gifted this young child. It's up for auction. Ten thousand dollars is the starting bid. Victor when Benyama's jersey that he gifted to this child.

It's up for auction. Now, wouldn't this jersey be much more down the line? I don't know that the parents did the dad.

I don't know. Maybe he needed the five thousand bucks, the eight thousand bucks. I know he's not getting a 10. I just you never know anybody's financial situation, but I would think holding on to that jersey, if you wanted to sell it, would it be a couple of weeks later for a couple thou? Victor when Benyama and yeah, you never know. But it'd be worth more money after this man was in an all star break or in an all star game like that. That would be a completely different situation. What a short sell.

I mean, I guess they needed the money. Who am I to say anything? But damn, hold on to it for a little while. And then the kid. How is the kid going to feel about this when the kid actually understands what took place? I don't know. Like five, 10, 15 years. Like you.

You hustled me to get a women. Yeah, I'm a jersey that we got a lot of parents who do this. They take their kids. They shove them in front of athletes.

They try to make money. Kind of creepy to me. Hickey, would you do something like that?

Do you approve of what they did? Not at all. That's very scummy.

That feels very dirty. Well, Victor when Benyama he saw the post. Then he just he had the emoji where he's crying his eyes out like, oh, my God, that's just what he that's what he tweeted. Now, what part is scummy utilizing the child or the fact that they just automatically like put the jersey up and sold it for auction? Utilizing the child because the kid doesn't know any better. The kid's like, what, six years old? He has no idea like he has no idea what it means. He has no idea like how like the once in a lifetime opportunity he got to be able to meet Victor women like he won't recognize it and really realize it till later on. That's all the daddy again. I don't know if he did it, you know, put him down there on purpose for this.

And of course, no intention. Who bought that? You think the kid said, Dad, I need a kid in Brooklyn said I need a woman.

Maybe that. How old is this kid? Do we know?

Five or six. I mean, look pretty small. He might know who when Benyama is. Does he got money to buy a wimpy jersey?

The kid does not know. No, he does not. The dad had enough money to get courtside, though. So, right. You know, I don't think they're doing that bad financially.

But the only thing I don't know is do you think this is I don't know if it was premeditated the entire time. Hey, we're going to go down here. We're going to get this jersey. We're going to try to, you know, get women to swap it out and then we're going to sell it. Or, hey, this happened.

Now, all of a sudden we got a wimpy jersey. Like, let's capitalize on it. Either way is very scummy. You know, I'm not going to draw a conclusion that he had enough money to get courtside seats. Hickey, some some of these guys and I will say guys, because typically it feels like it's the men who do it, like they find their way. Like they're those guys who stand. They know the entrance and exit at a Madison Square Garden where like that.

We there are people who exist that are just autograph seekers and they find their way into places. Now, yeah. Being up on top of Wimbenyama. If you just got a little kid and I'm waving a five year old in the air going, hey, he loves you. He loves you like Wimbenyama. He's more likely to turn around and me yelling at him.

He's going to go get this creep away from me. Right. Absolutely. So that's that's coming.

Would you not say you're using your kid? It is. It is.

It is. And if I'm the kid like, yeah, I'm real interested to see how he feels about this years from now. I mean, we don't know what Wimbenyama is going to turn into.

We certainly know the potential. Imagine. Imagine being a kid and I don't know, pre Michael Jordan championship. Imagine it being eighty seven.

Imagine it being eighty seven. And, you know, Michael Jordan actually, you know, gives a child a child child, a baby damn near his jersey. And a parent immediately flips it like how does that child feel in a year? I don't know. Nineteen ninety nine. The kid has to go, wait a minute.

What the hell did you do? Or maybe not, because it's Michael Jordan. Is that different or is it the same? No, it's the same in the sense of like, no, I agree.

No. Number one, again, I think it'd just be cool to have a player of that stature's jersey in the story behind it. Be very cool. But those two point, I think the longer you hold on to write, the more valuable becomes. If you're going to try to make money off of it. Wait. This is like the lowest you're going to sell for. Like you said, if he does pan out the way he's on track to.

Brian, when Binyama is about to make his first All-Star team. They could have waited three weeks and they would have made more money. Like, what are we doing? They should get slapped. I'm just saying.

And Marco Belletti, how do you feel about this? This is what's wrong with the world, basically summed up into one little conversation. Damn. Damn.

What, using the child to make money? Yeah. And also being a dumb ass because you could have made more money if you just wait a little bit. So it's not only that you're basically garbage. You're also stupid.

It's on top of it. So you have no monetary sense. You have no business sense. And you're willing to put your child up there to be able to get you to prosper in any way.

It's awful all the way around. Maybe. And if the jersey is on auction, if it's on an auction block for ten thousand dollars. How much money do you think they got for it?

Seven. Man, that's that's maybe this is like a short. I mean, I can't even call it a flip because there's no guarantee when Benyama is going to give you the jersey. But maybe they had the idea of if I get court side seats, that'll cost me one, let's say, or one and a half.

And then I can flip the jersey. There's no guarantee. So I don't even think that's the intention. Like, honestly, if that's the intention, you're really I mean, just awful in business because the odds of this happening with the money. Yeah. I mean, it's it's so not worth it.

And again, what profit? Yeah. Yeah.

You know, you got to learn how to bet. Yeah. This happened in any this had to have happened. They didn't expect this to happen.

It was maybe a thought, you know. Hey, we're in the but where are you getting a weapon? I'm a jersey inside the arena. Not in Brooklyn. Ain't selling.

They ain't selling no women. I'm a jersey. You can't buy the opposing team's jersey at a game.

Is bad. I hope the kid grows up and hates his dad. Can he sell it? Can he sue him later? And we have like, can we do that?

Can you consume and say, look at all the money that you cost me after women? Yama wins three titles with the Spurs exploitation. Hey, I'm suing my father for exploitation. Well, in bad business sense, the jersey was given to me.

You have no rights to this jersey. Wouldn't that be cool? Like in 15 years, this kid sues his dad.

Why not? I remember that story. I remember this kid. I think I'll still be here in 15 years.

Well, not here, but I think I'll be alive. I remember this. I mean, I don't I don't know the business sense, but if somebody gives the kid a whole bunch of money or whatever it is, does it automatically have to be the that's not yours just because you're the kid's not old enough to be able to use it. Let's find his dad and kick him in the shins. He needs a good talking to.

What are you doing? That's a start. That's a good start to kick him in the shin. Yeah, to start.

But it's a good start. Hickey, which shin do you want? Left shin or right shin? Oh, I'm a righty kicker, so if they kind of cross body hurt more, let's go left shin. OK, you take left, I'll take right. Marco, you kick him behind the knees. That's not bad. I might go in the front, though, you know, really try to put him where he can't walk too well. Tabletop him. We'll get the shins and you get the kneecaps. It's a good start.

It's a good start. This guy's terrible. Then Victor went big. Yeah, at least he just laughed about it, I guess, but I wonder if he's going to be just handed this. This is the reason why a lot of athletes, people will call them jerks. Sometimes they won't sign because people, especially for kids, they exploit the kids. Parents are just shoving them into railings and guard rails and they yell for this.

And they stand in the background hoping to get a lottery ticket. I'm glad you said it, because as much as athletes can be jerks and as much as we can paint them and all the money. Why can't these stories and these types of things they know? Well, they know all about it because it happens in their lives. We don't hear about it as much.

And this is something that paints the players in a bad light, because once you hear that once or twice, I can see how jaded you would get. I'm not doing any of this stuff no more. I get it.

I do. If when Benyama sees a child and he says, screw them kids in French, we know why. It's because of this guy in Brooklyn.

Of course, it had to be a guy from Brooklyn. Anyway, it's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. When we come back, we're going to talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.

And trust me, you don't want to miss it. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history.

You see, back in those days we had radio and you couldn't see anything and it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Today is January 15th. If we go back in time, how about this?

1967. Today was the day that the first Super Bowl took place. The Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs, a meeting of an NFL team and an AFL team. The AFL team being the Chiefs. Hey, Packers won 35 to 10.

Listen to this final call, courtesy of NFL films. A magnificent performance earns Bart Starr the game's most valuable player award. For the first time in seven years, Vince Lombardi's Packers, 35-10 victors over Kansas City, can claim an indisputable world championship. Yeah, and Bart Starr, he won MVP. Vince Lombardi, winner of a bunch of NFL championships. He won the very first Super Bowl and then the next year he won another one. This is why it's the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Hey, that was 1967. January 15th, 1994, Lawrence Taylor said, I'm done.

He retired from the NFL, an MVP, two Super Bowl championships, Defensive Player of the Year. Hey, Phil Simms, he told a Lawrence Taylor story, one that he could tell. Listen to this. We go in the stadium once, he goes, I can take this club and hit it out of the stadium.

I said, no you can't. He goes, so of course we bet. We bet on everything. He goes out there and swings, hits the ball.

It's going around all the suites. I'm like, and of course he didn't hit it out. Then he says to me, I'm throwing the ball once. Oh, I can throw it in the second tier.

I said, no you can't. So he throws two or three and we're, of course, wagering and it just keeps going, double or nothing. And I said, again, I went in and he took his, carried a lot of cash. He takes it and throws it on the ground. Oh, I'm so embarrassed.

I'll have to pick it up. I went on a golfing trip. I said, I'll drive. Lawrence goes, no, no, I'm driving. I go, oh my God, I don't want to let him drive. First take a breathalyzer.

So I look at Jim Burt, who was our nose tackle. I said, I'm in the back. He goes, no, you're not. You're in the front. We're flying down the turnpike. I'm sitting there, oh my God, slow down.

We're doing like 90 to 100. A policeman pulls up besides us and goes on his mic going, slow down. You know, rah, rah, rah. And you know, I think he recognized Lawrence. And Lawrence goes, oh, got it. You know, the cop takes off. Lawrence floors again.

It's Lawrence. Oh, he won't come back. He was dipping. And so he threw his dip out the window. He goes like this and he throws it. And we hear ding, ding, ding. His ring came off and lost it out the road. Yeah, those are the clean Lawrence Taylor stories.

I don't want to hear any other ones. OK, January 15th, 2023, LeBron James. He surpassed the thirty eight thousand point mark joining Kareem Abdul Jabbar. He did this in a game that the Lakers lost in L.A. against the Sixers. LeBron James went out there and had thirty five points.

Listen to this from what is this spectrum sports net. And you mentioned obviously one of the favorites against this year. Here's LeBron. He has thirty eight thousand and one for his career. I tell you, he's really feeling it tonight.

Six out of seven. Twelve points in seven minutes. As I said, they still lost the game. Ultimately, LeBron passed Kareem. Now LeBron has passed Kareem. He has forty one thousand points and counting.

Good for LeBron. Hey, and thank you to you for listening. OK, it's been a it's been a fun show. Thank you to everybody for watching on the stream on the Infinity Sports Network YouTube. The people listening all over North America be back with you tomorrow at six p.m. Eastern, three Pacific.
