Just go to YouTube, type in the Infinity Sports Network, type in the Infinity Sports Network, and boom, you can watch the JR Sport Brief Show. Technology. Technology is amazing. What a day we've had. Well, who am I fooling? We're just waiting for the Super Bowl.
We're just waiting. Thank you to Ross Tucker for joining us. Former NFL player, host of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He's on CBS. He's on Westwood. He came through and talked to us about Philadelphia having to knock off the Chiefs and offensive line, how amazing the line is for the Eagles says that they have to. They basically, well, we know they got to beat the Chiefs, but they got to leave no shadow of a doubt if they want to win.
I get it. Talked about some of these new head coaches in the NFL, Pete Carroll, Liam Cohen, Aaron Glenn, Schottenheimer. Who's going to have the most success with the new team? We found out Jimmy Butler isn't the only guy who wants to trade in the NBA. We got the Aaron Fox looking to make his way out of Sacramento. NBA trade deadline is next Thursday, by the way.
And then how about this? Anthony Davis. This man had to exit tonight's game against the 76ers with some type of injury to his midsection.
What a shock, right? Anthony Davis. He was so healthy last year. He was basically due for an injury.
Get well soon. And for everybody who follows the WNBA, Alyssa Thomas is heading from Connecticut to Phoenix and then Brittany Griner. Yeah. You haven't heard that name in a long time, right? She's been a home in America. Good for her.
God bless her. She's coming here to Atlanta. Brittany Griner is going to play for the Atlanta dream, which means that I will go see her play basketball. She's going to block some shots. She's going to rebound, block some more shots, hit a jumper, block some more shots. Hickey, I'm going to give you a detailed report on Brittany Griner. I mean, if you have seats at the dream, like you do with the Hawks, you'll get a very good view. And I'm looking forward to it. She may block the view. She's like six, nine, bro.
That's true. Put one of those basketballs right in your face. Better be on alert. I'll be okay.
Those blocks are coming in fast. One-on-one. She destroyed me, right? Oh yeah. Six, nine. She destroyed me.
11 nothing. Oh man. Straight to it. I don't think you'd get a basket. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.
I can't wait to see Brittany Griner here. What if you had two on one? What, me and you? Yeah, verse her. No, she'd beat both of us. You're probably right. I think we can get three points.
No, I don't think so. Bro, she's six, nine. Yeah, but she's got to guard two people.
Man, she could stretch one arm out and stretch the other one out and intercept the pass and then block a shot. Easy. I wonder if she's, she's from Texas. I was going to say, I wonder when she's had Waffle House. It's probably been a while. Hey, when you were here, you didn't have Waffle House, did you? I hate to say it. No, I was coming off a wedding weekend in which I ate like crap. So I tried to go, well, I did go to Hooters for the first meal and then I tried to go a little healthier the rest of the trip.
So in Atlanta, how terrible. And who am I to say that? I eat, I eat leaves every day. What am I to say? I will say I got room service for dinner on Sunday. I got a, a margarita pizza. It was delicious.
From room service? Delicious. Oh man. Hickey, you already hurt my feelings when you told me you ate at Hooters last week.
Okay. You want to join? No, I didn't want to join. I would have, I would have taken you somewhere better than Hooters. And now you're telling me you had room service pizza? I didn't want to leave.
I was watching the game. Monday night? No, Sunday night. This is getting ready for the show. After Hooters? After Hooters before the show.
You could have got food here on Peachtree Street near the studio. This is great. I don't know.
This is great. Nervous or what? Being late, not knowing where I'm going. Oh, come on. I could have given you advice. I dropped the ball, but I wasn't, the pizza was good.
It was so heavy. Heaviest pizza I've ever had in my entire, I only had two slices. Whatever. Whatever. I don't need to hear about your crap pizza. Margarita, I suggested Westin Hotel. Okay. All right.
Free plug. Listen, I may go to, I may go to after the show and if it's crap, I'm going to tell you about. Like this is the great pizza that Hickey told me about. Not so good. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. James is calling from Pennsylvania. You're on the JR support brief show. What's up, James? Hello, JR. Thank you.
I appreciate you having me on again. Um, last couple of times I called, I forgot to shout out my boy Hickey. He, uh, I think he, I think he did a show on Sunday.
He did his thinkity thing, thing, thing. Whoa. Shouts out to Hickey. Forgot about my man. I apologize. My brother. Okay. Question for you. If Patrick Mahomes wins the Superbowl this year, go ahead. Faster.
Every everybody. He's going to surpass Tom Brady as the goat. Now I disagree.
I'll tell you why. He's had too many weapons. Tom Brady didn't have the weapon. Let's talk about the wide receivers that Patrick Mahomes has currently. Juju Smith Schuster. I know he's not a number one guy, but he was very close at one point. Same with DeAndre Hopkins. Well, James, in the, in the, in the interest of time, I was asked this question yesterday on the air and I answered it and I was asked, Hey, if, if Patrick Mahomes wins three in a row, is he now surpassed Brady as the greatest of all time?
And I said, the answer is no. Like three in a row is nice and it's great. And it'll be something that no one has ever done before in the history of the NFL. Uh, but when you got seven championships, I still think you got some more catching up to do now. I will say this, even if he does not win seven, he can still accomplish some things that, that might, might put him in that space.
But that's the beauty of paying attention and watching the story is because everybody's story is different. I mean, he may do some, well, he is, cause there's no such thing as everybody having the same exact career. He may do some things that Tom Brady never has. He may play just as long or he may quit early or he may accomplish almost as much and decide to retire and quit while there's still more left in the tank.
Like we have no idea. This is the beauty of watching him go out there and play. But no, if he wins the Super Bowl and another Sunday, uh, I do not believe that all of a sudden now he's the greatest, he's the best, uh, past, uh, Brady. No, there's still more to do.
So I say let's enjoy it while he's rolling out there. Okay. Agreed. Agreed. Last question for you.
I appreciate you as always. This is heavy for me on my heart because I'm a Steelers fan. So I got, I got it. This is going to be beaten for me. Here we go. We got a lot of call. Let's make it quick. Yes, sir.
Here it comes. Why can't the Pittsburgh Steelers go at the situation with Justin Fields as if he was a rookie? Why is everyone saying, Oh, we, we got to, well, they're not going to draft a quarterback.
Hey, I got an, I got an answer. It's called salary. You ain't going to pay him like a rookie.
And he, and thank you, James, for calling from Pennsylvania. I'm going to elaborate here. If you bring on, no problem. If you bring on Fields, you ain't paying him no measly ass salary. You Justin Fields is going to get the money.
Well, yeah. Well, it's not about having the money. You know, it's definitely about having the money. It's all about the money. What are we talking about? I heard you earlier talking about, you were talking about teams and billionaires and yeah, it's exactly the money.
What do we mean? It's exactly money. Well, you're asking why you don't treat him like a rookie quarterback. You don't treat him like a rookie quarterback because the salary would not be commensurate to a rookie quarterback as he makes approximately 30 plus million dollars a year. How much are rookie quarterbacks making coming into the league this year with the NIL? What are they making now? What are they making in college football?
NIL doesn't have to get to the NFL. I'm just asking. Oh my God. Well, you're doing a lot of talking and less listening. I love listening. You're so good at it. Oh, no thing.
I tried that. No, I tried to hang up on you a few minutes ago, but my computer is frozen. I'm being honest. I tried to hang up when you kept on talking. I'm going to call back tomorrow.
So it doesn't matter. That's fine. Hickey, can you do me a favor and hang up for a second?
Thank you. Hickey. Is he gone? Hickey?
He is gone, sir. Yeah, the computer. Yeah.
Hey, my call screener was interrupted, Hickey. That's why. I was like, I'm trying to answer this guy. He's still talking. There we go. Now I'm connected back.
The wonders of technology. Let's see. There we go. Hickey, did I answer his question or did he just talk over me the whole time? I think you answered it, but like you said, it's tough to hear when you're talking. He's talking. A lot of words being thrown between the two of you. Nobody is paying a quarterback $30 million to treat them like a rookie.
All right. It's one thing to be on a rookie contract and you're making two and $3 million a year. And then all of a sudden over the next four years that explodes.
And then you got to pay, I got to pay you 40 and 50 and 60. There's, there's the answer. A matter of fact, the Steelers, their owner Rooney, he came out and he pretty much said that we need to make a choice. Like I would prefer to have either back Justin Fields or Russell Wilson.
It's as simple as that. I mean, we've heard some of the nut cases earlier in the show, we have Woody Johnson tell us all that he needs to kind of step back from being an impatient owner. And we have art Rooney, listen to what he told Steelers.com. I think we saw enough out of both Russell and Justin to think that we'd like to have at least one of them back. Probably unlikely to have them both back, but I think we had enough success with both of them at different stretches during the season. That would be our first choice is to have one of them back. But at the same time, you know, we have to look at the draft. We have to look at what else is out there. It's a, you know, we, we have more than one job opening in the quarterback room and we've got to bring in some people to help us. Yeah.
Well hope, I mean, the quarterback room wide receiver room. Oh my God. I don't even want to know what Pickens is doing right now.
Are you playing video games? I don't know what he's doing. That is a wild dude. George pick.
They make that man is screw his head on straight. You know, at this point I would go, I would go all enough and on fields. Like I think, you know, what you have at Wilson is as bad of a passer as fields is. I would bank on the fact of, of maybe he can improve. I know there's so many people who already sick and tired of the Steelers and their rock fight offense, but losing five consecutive games with you got, you got to, you got to pick your poison. Russell Wilson can throw the ball and open up the offense, but at the end of the season, this man could not move to save his life. And it's stunted the offense. And then you got Justin Fields, who is not a good passer, but can certainly open things up with his legs.
Do you want to take that run heavy approach? They're likely to end up with a new running back next year. Najee Harris is probably going to be gone.
He's always had this prickly relationship in the organization. I would go in on fields, let Russell Wilson go play and reunite with his old buddy, Pete cow. It looks like those guys have a kissed and made up eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Greg is calling from Alabama. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Greg? Thank you, sir, for taking my call.
I'm driving home from work and I enjoy listening to you guys. And you were talking about Atlanta and Brittany Griner coming back and all that. And I was just going to call in and tell you my one of my greatest sports memories is when I was a senior in high school and our basketball season was over. They took us to Atlanta to see the Hogs play and they were playing the Jazz when the Jazz had Maravich and the Hawks had been kind of chirping. Some of them had been chirping about Maravich, you know, that they he kind of had lost a couple of steps and he probably had at that point.
And the Atlanta Constitution, you know, they were putting out in the headlines and all that. So on that night I saw Maravich scored 34 in the first half and he scored four in the second half. But in the first half it was ridiculous and it was the most insane thing I've ever seen with shot he hit. It was like he was playing horse in an NBA game. He was so good. But I just love that. I remember that very vividly when y'all were talking about Atlanta.
I just thought I'd share it. I also went to a Hawk game one time and saw Dan Roundfield block one of Kareem's Skyhooks and which showed you, like I mentioned, it shows you how old I am. I was about to say, you don't have no recent, this is, I mean, you telling me about stuff that took place like, I don't know, 40 and 50 years ago. Yeah, I need to get over there more often. You don't have no recent Atlanta sports memories? You telling me about stuff from the 70s and the 80s?
Well, I've seen Trey play a couple of times and he lit it up pretty good, but he didn't light it up like that. But yeah, I've been over there since. I enjoy y'all's show and I really listen to it on the way home from work. Well, thank you, Greg.
We appreciate you. You're going to come visit Brittney Griner. You're going to watch Brittney Griner play here. Oh yeah, absolutely. I'm probably not going to get to a Hawks game this year.
I've gotten to some in the past once or twice and I would definitely go see her play, absolutely. Okay, well next time you go to a Hawks game, look for me, okay, Greg? You got it. Yeah, I'll talk to you later. Safe travels.
No doubt. Yeah, that's me. I'm the guy behind Harry the Hawk, not really. 855-212-4227.
Yes, 855-212-4227. Mike is here from Birmingham in Alabama. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Mike? What's up, Mike? What's up, JR? What's up?
Hey, so I'm probably jumping the gun a little bit. I heard you talk about, you know, college football coaches that have a chance to get to the national championship here coming up. First off, I gotta say, man, on the YouTube, man, we got to get you a little, we got to get you a little cream going on, man. We got to get you some, some background going on, man, like some, some team logos and some stuff like that. That'd be good in the background with you, with the YouTube, you know what I'm saying? The team logos?
Yeah, just like some, you know, some like some something in the background, you know, a little bit, you know, dress you up a little bit, man. Okay, we don't want no team logos back here. We ain't gonna pay enough money. They going to pay me?
I don't know about all that. How about this? We're going to put up a JR Sportbreeze sign. That'll be good enough. Yeah. Yeah.
Put up a JR Sportsbreeze sign. That'd be great. All right.
So, all right. So I got a, I got a top 10 list of college football coaches that have the potential to get the national championship. Do you want the top five or you want the top? Do you want, you want the A, you want the tier?
I don't want neither. I don't do a top 10. I do a top six tomorrow. Give, give me one. Give me Oon, the number one. All right.
I'm going to give you number one. It's Stark from Texas. Yeah. He got Arch Manning. He got Arch Manning.
Why the hell not? Right. That's right. Okay. So number two, Dan Lanning.
I said one. Where the hell Mike come from with what, what, what is he doing? He said, I think he said Dan Lanning. I would agree. Who says, who's his next QB?
Because the 80 year old Dylan is gone. Right. And he is Dante Moore from UCLA is next in line. This stupid transfer portal. Oh my God. Got this school is now in the, the big 10.
Yeah. I can't keep up with all this stuff, man. Did you see, speaking of transfer portal, Oregon, this last recruiting class got a kid from high school. He enrolled, he's on the sideline for the Rose bowl right after the game jumped in the transfer portal.
Now it's a different school for two weeks as a true freshman in and out. See you later. Listen, this is why everybody says that they need some type of regulations for this stuff, man. This is crazy. This is my, and I agree with, with Mike.
Hey Mike, thank you for calling from Birmingham. We got to keep things moving. Okay. All right, man. All right.
Thank you. So he's disappointed. He said he should have listened. He should have listened.
Follow directions. Yeah. The list probably had the reasoning, probably did two hours with the research to give you a top 10 list. And you said, yeah. Do I got time for, if he gave us a picky, it takes us how long to do a top six, 40 minutes. Yeah. We would not have enough time for 35.
It takes me, it takes me 35 minutes from the top of the hour until I reveal number one, takes 35 minutes for a top six list. He had a top 10. No, we can't do that, but he's good.
I agree with him on SARC. You got arch Manning. Good enough reason for me. I need, I need arch to win the Heisman next year. I need it.
No more of these transfer portal guys. I don't need no running back coming out of nowhere. I need arch Manning to ascend to the top of the throne. I need him to climb the staircase and sit on the throne of Manning.
I'm ready for the next Manning arch, please get the job done. If I'm SARC, I'm kissing that ass. And who wouldn't want to play for this guy?
SARC, right? Hey, let's listen to him after the cotton bowl. He said he is proud of Texas and everything that they did.
Who wouldn't want to play for this guy? Two really good teams, a ton of credit to Ohio state. They're very good football team, well coached, hard fought game. I'm really proud of our players for the resiliency they showed tonight to fight back, to get into the game, to have an opportunity first to go on the one and weren't able to put it in. So as I told them, you know, that today's game is, is the life of a competitor. You put yourself in this arena.
You compete your tail off, but we have nothing to hang our heads about by the way they competed not only tonight, but this entire season. Oh yeah. As long as he's not here in Atlanta, he's good. And then Dan Lanning. Oh my God. I remember that. I think it was at halftime pregame. Dan Lanning is a nut gets his guys going. This is from halftime versus Washington.
Started talking about cracking skulls and mashing people up. Nobody came here for one half right now. Our office has rushed for 105 yards. They've rushed for 34. Our physical, your opponent defense, you're starting this job, right? Here's the ball back. We talked about mashing heads and mashing heads, not quite Dan Campbell, but everybody got to start somewhere, right?
You got to start somewhere. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. We're going to take a break. Of course, at the end of the show, I'm going to talk to you about a few things that took place this day in sports history. I'm going to get some more of your calls. We got an update.
We got a lot to do. The JR sport reshow, the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief, the JR sport reshow here with you on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. You know, we, we got the NBA trade deadline coming up next Thursday. We, we shared earlier in the show that D'Aaron Fox is now the latest NBA star to likely end up in a new location. We, we assume it's the San Antonio Spurs.
If they want them, if they can get their hands on them. I think that old light, the beam thing has been dead. I never believed in it in the first place. And they're playing no defense. And then of course we have the, the Jimmy Butler situation. Jimmy Butler is still mad about Pat Riley telling him to shut the hell up. You know, last off season, it was one of my favorite things to hear because we really don't get NBA executives or sports executives. They don't, they don't tell the truth because they afraid of the players and the power. And Oh, these guys are scared.
They don't want to come to my team. Pat Riley has been a winner for so damn long. Like he got carte blanche to say whatever the hell he wants to say. Like, like this, I loved when he said this to Jimmy Butler last year, listen to this. You know, for him to say that, you know, I thought, is that Jimmy trolling or is that Jimmy serious? You know, if you're not on the court playing against Boston or on the court playing against the New York Knicks, you should keep your mouth shut.
Yeah. It's that the comments, Jimmy Butler made. So yeah, if I was playing, I would have beat this team to beat this and Pat Riley's like, man, he wasn't playing. And so for everything that we got going on now, Jimmy Butler suspended indefinitely.
Brian Windhorst was on ESPN today. And he said that Jimmy Butler, yeah, this man is likely to get moved. Jimmy Butler is going to get traded.
I wasn't sure about that. Maybe seven to 10 days ago, I really am more sure than ever that that's going to happen. The Heat are trying to make it happen. They have backed down on their asks to teams that they had two, three weeks ago when this whole saga really started, they're willing to do more. And I think that there is a really a chance now that more teams, I think are going to wade in here, because the price on Butler is going to be lower than just the Phoenix Suns, which is the way it's been.
But I have to say, working on this story every day for six, seven weeks, this is truly one of the most immovable forts meets impenetrable objects I've ever seen in my 22 years covering the NBA. Yeah, I just hope he goes somewhere and doesn't win. I mean, for all this complaining and whining.
I remember I know the guy was homeless at one point in time. And I don't know how much money you got to make where you you no longer have, you know, a little humility in your body. You just want to make money. But I mean, damn. I wish this would just end. And when it ends, I hope he hope he doesn't win a damn thing.
How about that? And if he does good for him, you're gonna change my life one bit. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Let's get to the phone lines. Oh, man, I got to do this too. Speaking all this basketball stuff.
There's a player getting his jersey retired. And at first glance, I had to go, him? Yeah, I'm gonna tell you about it a little while. Who do we have here? Paul is calling from Rhode Island. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Paul? JR, thank you for taking my call. You know, it's been a while since I get through. But I have to say I'm gonna have to as far as the Super Bowl. I'm gonna have to have my honest opinions. Oh, let's get to it, Paul.
We don't have all day. Okay. I'm gonna go with Jalen Harris. Very simply, because the man, I think he's hurt last year.
But I think this year, the guy is smart. He doesn't run. Do not run.
You will win the Super Bowl, my brother. That's all I have to say. All right. Thank you, Paul, for calling from his little brother.
Okay. Connor is calling from Ohio. That made me uncomfortable.
Connor, you're on the JR Sportbreeze show. Go ahead, quick. Oh, man. That was a long wait.
Almost two hours. But I'm glad to be on and I appreciate you taking my call, JR. Sure. Go ahead. Yes, I know.
I'm short on time. I respect that. So, Super Bowl. I feel like we're kind of beating the dead horse here.
I apologize. So, I believe, I think that this year's Super Bowl is gonna be pretty low viewership and just ratings in general. I feel like it's a Super Bowl for two fan bases and two fan bases only, that being the Eagles and the Chiefs. And here's why. Because they're both hard teams to root for. The Chiefs, you know why people don't like them?
Because of the success and the level they've reached. So, everybody likes to, not everybody, but a lot of people like to pray on the downfall. Wait, give me a second. One second. Don't worry. I'll be quick.
You've been taking a long time already. Yeah, true, true. The Eagles, in their case, their fan base is what makes it hard for them to root for. That's why it's hard to root for the Eagles. Well, I'll give you some data.
And thank you so much, Connor, for calling from Ohio. Listen to this. The AFC Championship game, and I get it. I mean, we could have some of the Buffalo Bills running around saying that they're America's team now. The Chiefs and the Bills averaged 58 million viewers.
All right. This was the most watched AFC title game since 1988. People watch the Super Bowl regardless of who's in the game. To think that this is gonna be one of the lowest rated or it's gonna be a disappointment. I don't think that at all.
We talked about this earlier in the show. People want to tune in to see if somebody can knock off Goliath. If David can knock off Goliath, that's what people want to see. Are the Chiefs gonna lose? Are they gonna get smashed?
Are the Eagles gonna embarrass them? I think the majority of America tuning into the Super Bowl, they don't know Jalen Hurts from, I don't know. There's not another guy named Hurts. Marco, is there another human you know named Hurts? I don't know none. I do not. Do the Eagles have anybody I could use that analogy on? No, right. I don't know another Saquon.
Most people, hey, how about this? His name is Barkley. I was gonna say, there's gotta be another Barkley, no? Yeah, but people know Charles.
Everybody. You don't even know basketball. You know Charles Barkley.
He's heard of him. I don't know. Matt Barkley, the old USC quarterback? America?
America? America doesn't know that, no, I'm aware. I'm just thinking of another Barkley. I can't think of another Barkley. America doesn't know Jalen Hurts from, I don't know. And they don't know Saquon Barkley from, I don't know. America doesn't know these, they don't care about the, I know the Eagles fans.
Marco knows them. You know the fans. Hickey knows about the Eagles fans. They got a six-year-old who'll flip you off. They got a guy who berated a woman in the stands the other day.
This guy no longer has a job. But most people won't equate that to the Eagles specifically, man. People are just gonna tune in because there's nothing better. What opposes the Super Bowl? Like what else is, does anybody know what else is on? They got the Puppy Bowl at halftime. I don't know if they do that. Marco, what comes on during the Super Bowl?
Anything? You know, I was thinking about it. I don't think any other network or any other channel is dumb enough to put any new programming up against the Super Bowl because you're gonna get blown out. Like what's the point?
Yeah, I don't know. Would you ever put up, even if it's a show where you go, oh this has nothing to do with anything. Okay, but whatever is the latest show, would you want to get blown up in the ratings?
For what? What's something, if you're not watching the Super Bowl, you're watching, not everybody watches the Super Bowl. Half of America is watching and then another half is not even caring.
Right. You know, so half of America is watching and then the other half is not. And I guess they're just watching movies.
I don't know. Could be watching movies, but I was thinking, if you're watching TV, you're watching a rerun because I don't think anybody, again, I don't, why would you, whatever show, I can't think of any like Housewives. Yeah, but if it's a new episode, like why would you put a new episode up to get destroyed in the ratings?
So you're gonna put up a rerun. When the Super Bowl has been on and my whole life, I've never watched anything but it. I don't know. I think you ever watched something besides the Super Bowl when it's on? No. Do you have any idea what would be on?
Like somebody is running an animal show or something, right? I don't know. I was trying to look at college basketball because I know they have a few games, but the last game for college basketball on Sunday tips off at two o'clock. So college basketball knows we're clear in the deck early. Wait, wait, wait. Didn't we learn that Hubie Brown is also working Super Bowl Sunday? They got Hubie Brown working?
You know what? You're right now. Yeah, but I would think the schedule is done though by the time they kick off. Cause why would you, you wouldn't go to the game.
You're not going to get anybody in the crowd. Marco, you're missing a point. Hubie Brown's last game is hours before a Super Bowl. Wait, that's his last game? Yes. Oh, see that's, see that's wrong. Yeah.
I didn't realize that. It's the 76ers and who is it? The Bucks. Tips off at two o'clock in Milwaukee. Who's, it's on ABC or ESPN? Uh, ABC. It'll be a nationally televised assault, I guess. No, man. Cause it's going to get buried. Come on, give Hubie a send off.
What the hell is that? How many people, I am not watching 12 hours of pregame. Okay. What time are they kicking that ball off at six 30?
Roughly. I will start tuning in at five 59 Eastern time. I am not watching 20 hours of pregame. Yeah, but even again, it's not just the pregame that you're not watching after the game is over. You talking about anything that night or the next day other than the Super Bowl. So Hubie Brown gets completely lost.
Hubie Brown would be lost anyway. Let's be real. Oh, come on, man. That'd be five minutes here or there. Something.
I mean, the guy's what, 95 years old. Wednesday night. Oh, you're right. You're right.
When's tomorrow? That'd be perfect for him. So celebrate, let the whole night be a celebration of his contributions to basketball.
I agree. One night. Why the hell not? And again, once the Super Bowl is done, what do we got for a couple of weeks? We're not watching anything. So you want to, you want to know the day after the Super Bowl, you want to know who's going to show love to Hubie Brown? Me. Leading the show six o'clock Eastern, February 10. Chiefs three, Pete, the hell with that.
Hubie Brown. Let's hear his final calls. We'll get it in. We'll get it in.
Picky, remember to get it in. Also, it sucks for him. I mean, the Sixers, to your point, and people watching four hours of pregame, probably not, but you have one of the two teams there playing with a fan base.
That's going to be almost focused. No, it's in Milwaukee, but still. Joel Embiid doesn't play ball. Right. The basketball was, he called himself the zesty basketball player. Is that what he called himself?
McCain, right? Oh. You saw that, right? I did not see that. He called himself the zesty baller. That's what he said. So one way to put it.
That's what he said. He's not playing and he's great. They just have Maxie. Why do I want to watch Maxie and Eric Gordon take on Giannis?
For what? On Super Bowl Sunday, Giannis would rather, Giannis is not even American. He would rather watch the Super Bowl than play against the seventies.
He's like, let's get this over so I can go home. You know, I wish that game was in Philly now. Cause I would, I would love to see what the paid attendance would be for that game. Zero.
Zero. It'd be Joel Embiid on the sidelines in a, in a stupid t-shirt and some baggy pants. Then have a TV timeout. Let's all honor Hubie Brown, his last game, like one person's in the stands. All right, Hubie, send him out that way. Don't be looking for chicken though. Oh my gosh. The one guy's running behind the basket. Chick-fil-A, no one avoids it. You guys are terrible. Not me.
I'm an angel. It's the JR sport re-show here on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. We're going to tell you about a few things that took place this day in sports history. And then I'm going to tell you about the NBA player. Well, he's getting his Jersey retired by one team. You're listening to the JR sport brief. Yeah. Everybody watching on the, on the YouTube stream.
They could see me and one of my favorite sweatshirt. I love Tulane. I love Louisiana. I love new Orleans. I love Baton Rouge.
I love Baton Rouge, red Baton and that food out there. I'd be so obese. Anybody can do that. It's time for a few things that took place this day in sports history. It's time for this day in sports history. 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. Nobody within the sound of my voice remembers this January 28th in 1901, the American league is founded and had a 140 game schedule with 14 player teams.
That means you pitched and you hit. Okay. As simple as that. Nobody remembers that because nobody is 124 years old, January 28th, 1990, the 49 is they beat the Broncos 55 to 10. This was the most lopsided result in super bowl history. George Seifert after the game, he said, man, I know when the super bowl was going to be this easy.
Thank you coach. Well, I think as a football coach and as a football team, you, you put plenty of respect to your opponent and none of these games are easy. We played three great teams in these playoffs. They would have had to been great teams to get to this point. So we're just proud of the effort of the team and this entire organization. And I'm proud of the teams that we played against. I'm proud of this team, obviously. Oh, that's great. That was courtesy of CBS.
Must be nice to take over for coach Walsh. January 28th, 2017 Serena Williams. She won her 23rd grand slam single championship by the, by beating her own sister, beating Venus in the Australian open. This is tough stuff. Listen. Championship point for Serena Williams. Okay. And she beat her sister.
Piggy. What's more impressive, uh, the Serena beaten Venus beating a big sister or this, uh, fight we're going to have between the Paul brothers. Oh, definitely Serena beating her sister because that's real. Okay. Not going to, yeah, that was real.
Paul brothers fight is, uh, likely to be rigged. And you know what? I had mentioned this and this is important.
There's nothing to do with a sports history. We learned earlier today that the golden state warriors are going to retire the number of Andre Iguodala. Yeah. Andre Iguodala. They're going to put his number up in the rafters for the golden state warriors.
Listen to this video that they released earlier today. This year more than anything is going to be full of joy and really looking forward to ending the chapter whenever it may end here. And when you did, you conquered again. And we all say, God has a way for you, a purpose for you.
This is my purpose. That's a lasting legacy. And because of that, we'll be the last warrior to wear number nine.
Our name lives forever because of you. You know, I heard that Andre Iguodala, I think about him. I'm like, yeah, he, he played a great part on that team. They were all moving around with, with Steph and Draymond. And he was a great defender, gave LeBron James Fitz.
And then I had to remember, that's right. He won finals MVP that first year that they won in 2015. I had to remember he was on every one of those championship teams, even though the last one, I don't remember him playing too much. So look good for him. I remember Andre Iguodala starting off as the other AI in Philadelphia.
I'm like, we can't have two AIs. That man had a long, long career. Now he works with the NBA Players Association.
Good. They're going to retire his number. Part of me wants to go, they will retire anybody's number. They being professional sports, they will retire anybody's number. And then on the other hand, he won a finals MVP.
He has four titles. Why not? Who am I to judge? If he makes them happy and they made him happy and he certainly made him happy, why the hell not? Who am I to say that the guy deserves his number retired? He's going to get it.
Hickey, Hickey, did it make you kind of double take when you heard about it though? Yes. Oh, big time.
Especially when you have bare minimum, right? Steph coming, Clay coming. You got to imagine Draymond, right?
I mean, does this open the door? Does this open the door for KD? KD is not getting his number retired in Golden State. Or maybe he does.
I don't know. Hickey, me and you never played for the Warriors. Maybe they'll retire our numbers next.
Zero and zero. It's just like, why not? Congratulations, Andre Iguodala. Hickey, we didn't play defense against LeBron, though. So I guess that counts for something. That it does.
You're right about that. Congratulations, Andre Iguodala. We're not retired. We'll be back tomorrow. 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. If you've missed a minute of the show, hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. Thank you to everybody watching live on the live stream on YouTube. The show's free. Odyssey will be back tomorrow. Don't move.
Infinity Sports Network, Bart Winkler coming up next. Thank you, Hickey. Thank you for listening. Thank you for watching the stream. Bye.
