Thank you. Tune in on Sirius XM 375. You got a smart speaker? Ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. And if you got access to YouTube, what's up to everybody watching on YouTube?
All you gotta do, go to YouTube and search the Infinity Sports Network and boom, we pop right on up. Let me tell you something. It's been a hell of a day. We've had a hell of a show. Thank you so much to Merrill Hodge, former Pittsburgh Steelers running back, former NFL analyst, still an NFL analyst. He came through to chop it up with us about the big game.
Yeah, the Super Bowl. And then we talked about the Steelers and then we got into quarterbacks. He said, man, the Steelers shouldn't just look at Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. They should look at everybody. I'm like, okay, tell me how you really feel, Merrill Hodge.
Hit rewind on the free Audacy app. You can go ahead and check out that interview. What a day. We found out the NBA All-Star reserves, no Trae Young, no LaMelo Ball.
The NFL Pro Bowl games have started tonight down in Orlando, Florida. They got a bunch of 300 pound men doing jumping jacks and speed racing. How exciting. We talked about Adam Silver suggesting that he thinks the NBA should possibly shorten its games from 12 minute quarters down to 10 to align with the international basketball play.
How about you just speed up the game at the end? Okay. And then earlier today, oh my God, it was some wild stuff. Justin Tucker, allegations of sexual assault. You thought things would just stop with Deshaun Watson and these masseuses? Is that what the, Hickey, is that the plural of masseuse? Are they masseuses?
What are they? I don't know. masseuses.
Yes. They're not like moose where it's just one term, plural or singular masseuses. Well, apparently Justin Tucker saw, well, he should have stopped that one masseuse allegedly. And now he's sitting down with more. Listen to this report from earlier today, ESPN, NFL live about one of the greatest kickers, arguably the greatest kicker of all time.
Certainly the most accurate. Listen to this. To some serious allegations against Ravens kicker, Justin Tucker. Tucker is accused of inappropriate sexual behavior by six massage therapists in Baltimore. In that area, according to an investigation by the Baltimore banner, the allegations reportedly occurred between 2012 and 2016, which were Tucker's first five seasons in the NFL. About an hour after the banner article was posted, Tucker called the allegations quote unequivocally false, adding, I have never before been accused of misconduct of any kind.
And I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other body work. League spokesman, Brian McCarthy said they would look into the matter. And the Ravens said in a statement, they take allegations of this nature seriously and would monitor the situation. Man, we know he sucked at the beginning of the year.
This man was missing everything. And then he picked it up at the end of the season. That's not to say that they still won't give him the boot.
I'll tell you this much. If the allegations come to be true, and I know they're from 2012 to 2016, but if an investigation finds that he was doing a little too much, he should be penalized for it. He should be punished. The NFL takes forever with these investigations. Let's see. Deshaun Watson got 11 games. That was more than two dozen allegations.
Okay. Deshaun Watson had to pay a settlement. Justin Tucker has not been tried criminally.
Nobody is trying to tap him into pockets civilly. Yet, this is not going to go away. Justin Tucker's statement, as you just heard, he said, I didn't do nothing. And his lawyers are just saying some of these allegations aren't true, but then other elements of it happened to be, well, you know, naturally sometimes, you know, body parts can be exposed during a massage. Go ahead and read the Baltimore banner. I will not get into some of the details that are in the paper because this is not that, not that type of show or channel.
Okay. We'll find out what happens with Justin Tucker. He's not the only person that got into a little bit of hot water today.
The only person being investigated. He might be a little less famous because he jacks up shots. Yeah. Actually making more money than Justin Tucker. It's Terry Rozier.
Yeah. The shot chucker for the Miami Heat. This guy's making $96 million, but he's currently being investigated by the feds for potentially fixing games.
Is he throwing stuff? Listen to this ESPN. Now to a developing story, the NBA confirmed Thursday that suspicious gambling activity surrounding guard Terry Rozier in a game nearly two years ago is now being investigated by federal prosecutors as a part of the same probe that led to the lifetime ban of former Raptors player, Jontay Porter. Now at the time, Rozier was playing for the Hornets, the wall street journal. They first reported the investigation and NBA spokesperson, Mike Bass said in a statement to quote in March, 2023, the NBA was alerted to unusual betting activity related to Terry Rozier's performance in a game between Charlotte and new Orleans. The league conducted an investigation and did not find a violation of NBA rules.
The league said they are cooperating with the U S attorney's offices investigation here. Man in that game a couple of years ago that they're referring to before the game, he was available. And then they took him off the board for some prop bets.
And then he had an amazing first quarter. And then he all of a sudden had a heel injury and people like, Whoa, what the hell is going on here? Is he hurt? Is he not hurt? Like, how's he playing so well?
And why was he there? And just, he's being investigated by the feds. You don't want that. You do not want that.
Ask Ipe Mizuhara different reasons, but ask Ipe. We'll see what happens. The NBA said they looked into this.
They didn't find nothing, but the NBA is not the feds. Okay. Hickey, I'll be, I'll be here tomorrow. Right?
Nothing going to happen to me. This has been a rough, rough day for people. I mean, I, I, I know you are not a believer in jinxes. Right.
But I would believe so. But I'm knocking on wood for you, just to make sure that nothing crazy happens between now and 6 PM Eastern tomorrow. Oh my goodness. Well, as I said earlier, as the show ended yesterday, I'm like, man, we'll be back tomorrow. Can't wait to see what happens in the world of sports.
Hickey, I'll say that again. When we're here tomorrow, it can't be like today. It can't, can't, can't be, can't. Unlikely. Unlikely is the word, right? Unlikely. And I will say, hopefully not.
Hopefully not. Oh man. And by the way, Max Scherz are good for him. One year deal, 15 and a half million dollars with the Blue Jays to, to have back spasms.
Okay. He went to the Joel Embiid school of contract negotiations. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. And we have Santos here from Arkansas. You're on the JR sport ratio. Santos, what's up? Hello there. How are you doing, sir? I'm feeling good.
What's up with the West coast. But I do apologize. I am a legally blind individual myself, but I'm curious, what was your favorite cartoon in the fourth grade?
And I love the TV show beach and the band. That's what I asked him the most. Hold on.
Santos. I'm trying to, I'm trying to hear you better. Did you, it's okay. Did you ask me what my favorite cartoon was in the fourth grade? Correct. That's very specific. The fourth grade.
Oh my God, bro. I don't know what the hell I was doing in the fourth grade. Okay. I don't know my teacher in the fourth grade. I don't know what I was doing. I'm trying to figure out what year it was. Fourth grade.
I remember third grade better than fourth grade. Hold on a second. Santos don't hang up. Okay. Hold on. Don't hang up.
No problem. Don't don't go nowhere. Hickey is that, is this, is this going somewhere? Is he the feds?
Is he the feds? Santos is trying to figure out what I was doing in the fourth grade. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know who my friends were in the fourth grade. You don't remember the fourth grade Jr. What you're watching, what you were doing.
Shame on you. I remember third grade. I remember fifth grade.
I do not remember fourth grade. Rugrats. Did you have rugrats? Rugrats. I did not watch rugrats. No, nothing like rugrats.
Uh, fourth grade. The Simpsons. Does that count? Santos.
I was watching the Simpsons. Does that work? Yeah. Okay.
Now, now, now I hope there's a method to, to all of this. Go on. Oh no, just curiosity, but I'm legally blind myself.
So I am, I lost my sight when I was 25 years old. Okay. And um, so I, you and me lost my two favorites on this program. Well, thanks. I appreciate that, man. Oh, I love your humor. Thank you.
You ain't, you ain't missing nothing. There's a lot of ugly people out here. Okay.
Santos. Well, I'm not going to see no God, but I'd like to see a female, but I was talking about, I was talking about the women. Okay. So now you don't got to apologize.
I'll be back in the newspaper tomorrow. Okay. Don't worry about it.
Anything else you got Santos? That is it, sir. But, um, you have a great day and I love the program. Oh, thank you, man. I appreciate you for listening. You call anytime. All right. Oh, I plan on, you know, you and Amy are my favorite. All right. Thank you, my man.
I'll talk to you. Hey, what's your favorite cartoon from the fourth grade? What was it? Star blazers. Who? Star blazers. Star blazers?
Yup. I don't know what that is. Thundercats? Thundercats? I don't know. Looney Tunes?
I don't know. It was the late seventies program. Late seventies. Uh, yeah, that's right before me, but I think I, I think I would've known what it is. Starblazers.
Oh man. I don't know what the heck this is. It's a Japanese anime show. I don't know what that is, bro.
It was, but it was box American renamed. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Well, thank you. I got to get up on my anime.
I know nothing about it. Thank you, Santos. Thank you, sir. You be safe.
Peace out brother. No doubt. I mean, there were a lot of those cartoons that just came over from Japan and they just slapped American names and voices on it. Like, Hickey, you ever seen them dubs for power Rangers?
Like let's, let's put Americans on it and interweave the Japanese fighting guys. You ever seen that before? No. Oh no. I'm sorry to say that.
Oh, okay. You've never seen power Rangers in your life. I have, but I don't recall them being dubbed. Well, Hickey, they took the animation and the story and they threw American actors there.
That's what they did. Like the actual trons and that came from Japan. Oh, the fighting and the transforming and the, the, that, that was from Japan.
They just took American actors and weaved it all together. Oh, I should have no idea. Interesting. Yeah. Power Rangers is not American. They took it. Huh?
I guess he had to rewatch it and see maybe it's more obvious. Don't waste, don't waste your time. When I was younger, I was a big fan. No power Rangers.
And I guess I was too young and dumb to realize what they were doing to me. Yeah. Let's do some Americans on there.
8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Tony's calling from Syracuse. You're on the JR sport reshow. What's up, Tony? Hey, Jr. How are you? Happy new year to you.
Haven't talked to you in a minute. It's it's it's, wait a minute. It's it's February 1st, tomorrow or Friday or Saturday. What day is it? It's Saturday, I think. Right. Or no, actually Sunday. No, no. February is second.
So Saturday is the first, I think. Okay. It's too late for happy new year, isn't it? No, no, I, it's still in January, man. And I haven't talked to you in a minute this year in 2025. So I figure, so I figured it's a belated one anyway. Okay. Well, happy new year to you.
I want to talk football primarily, but real quick. Yeah. Like Star Blazers was a very cool cartoon. Cause like as a nine year old in fourth grade in 1982, they were still actually showing it.
And then we had heckle and Jekyll and Mighty Mouse and then Brady Bunch, Gilligan's Island. Yeah, yeah. All of that. But I know everything you just said. I don't know no Star Blazers. I watched. No, it was like, it was like a, a battleship Yamato that was a, became a spaceship and it had all these cool different laser guns on it for a nine year old kid that was in the Star Wars.
It was like the coolest thing. Listen, I like Star Wars. I don't know no Star Blazers, but forget about that.
It sounds like a terrible show. What else you got about football? Okay. Real quick about, about basketball, you know, they're lazy. They don't want to play.
And now they're overpaid. And now why don't you play five minute quarters instead? Okay.
Moving right along. That's all I got. Listen, this chief's game, I count seven missed penalties against the Kansas city chiefs. I don't want to complain about the officiating, but dude, come on, man.
It is a problem. That was not a catch. Travis Kelce should have had a penalty for hunting.
There's a face masking penalty. Josh, you know, was back to pass, pointing at a pass interference penalty. Listen, if you don't want the guy to win, then you don't call all these penalties that are, or don't call penalties.
But I'm telling you, man, you know, all we're asking is for fairness, dude. Do you, have you, have you watched games besides Bill's game? So you watch all the football and do, would you say that the referee and sucks all over the damn place? Yeah, the referee, the referee, the officiating completely sucks.
Yeah. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to, I'm not going to, so I agree with you, but I'm not going to lean on the Kansas city chiefs because they're the best team. And so of course when they win and the officiating sucks is going to be emphasized because it's not like somebody, it's not the Jacksonville Jaguars where nobody cares. It's not the New Orleans Saints or the Minnesota Vikings.
It's not the redheaded stepchildren of the league. Now I agree with you. There needs to be an adjustment and I'm going to go in a different direction here. Tony, thank you for calling from Syracuse. I, I don't, I don't, I don't blame you for being upset, but the officiating sucks across the board. It's tough being a ref at an NFL game.
It just really is. And so I made the point earlier and Hickey and I talked about this, about shortening NBA games is nuts. I can't stand what they've done with major league baseball, with some of the rules that they've implemented to try to speed the game up. We know the NFL is certainly changing things.
Roger Goodell has been an advocate now for years, even a couple of weeks ago about adding an 18th game and eliminating one of these meaningless preseason games that the stars don't plan in the first place. But one thing that I've said, and I've said it for a long time, there's enough technology where we can figure out what a first down is. Come on. Whether you have to use these cameras that are in the stadiums, oh, it costs too much money.
No, it don't. Come on. Or whether you got to put a stupid chip in the football, you can, you can grid the, you can computerize the grid on a football field. We don't need two 65 year old guys who are out of shape, standing on a sideline with a stick and a chain to figure out a first down. Like we can do better than that.
We still got chain gangs and sure, I'm not trying to put people out of a job, but why can't we use more modern technology? We got, we got cameras and pylons and I get it. You want to keep the drama. You want to keep the intrigue of the game.
You want to keep things interesting. Is it a first down? Is it a touchdown? Did he cross the line? Did he not cross the line? Use, use technology. How about this? As someone who knows a thing or two about winning and losing, well, last Dallas Cowboys quarterback to win anything worth a damn.
Troy Aikman was having a chat with Sports Illustrated and Troy Aikman said the same thing. We got all this technology in the world. We can send a guy to Mars or well, picky. We didn't send no guy to Mars yet. Just that the rovers, right? Right. Is it? We didn't send a human out there yet.
I don't believe so. I don't think anyone's touched down on Mars yet. A dog, a chimp? None.
None of the above. I think just robots or Peter would have a fit if they did. Well, you're right. They'd be on the next, next rocket out there to save that chimp. Remember they sold that. They sent that chimp out there. Did he ever come back? I hope he did. I don't, I don't know how that story ended. Did he come back?
Did he crash into an ocean and they go get him? Right. That's how they used to do it. That's right. No, no parachutes. Yeah. Well we can send, we can send a rover to Mars and they, Hickey, they sent something to the sun. Did you see that?
No. They sent like something close, as close as you can get just to try to understand it. And so we're waiting on it.
I don't know if it did like to send the data back because it's far, it takes a while, right? Long time. And I want to have a closer game. Like what's the closest you can get? I wonder into the sun. I don't know. Let's shoot you out there and find out. I'm okay. How long? I'm going to Google that in a minute. How long does it take to get out there?
A couple, it gotta be a couple of years. Space just blows my mind. It is. You should have been an astronaut. You'd be a good astronaut too. Why? You're very explorative and you're a good thinker. I saw Interstellar recently.
I said, no, thank you. I got to Google what that is, Hickey. I don't know. Oh boy. That's a new movie or an old movie? Old movie. Well, within like a decade. Okay.
That's considered old. I'll look it up, but you would be a great astronaut. You're good at what you do, Hickey. You'd be a great astronaut. I get motion sickness on the launch.
No, thanks. And they train you for things like that. You can't train your body if you get motion sickness to fight through it. They do. That's why they train them to be at, they put them in zero gravity and all of that stuff.
You can train your body to not become motion sick? I didn't know that. Interesting.
Human body continues to amaze. Resistance, Hickey. Resistance. Okay. Hmm.
Resistance. 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. When we come back, I'm going to Google how long it takes to send Hickey to the sun. I'm going to get some more of your calls. I'm going to check in on the stupid, uh, pro bowl games. That is a ridiculously, uh, exciting. And then of course, at the end of the show, we're going to talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history.
Don't move. It's the JR sport reshow coast to coast on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's 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. I told you it's been a busy show. Justin Tucker, sexual assault allegations and Terry Roger investigation for gambling improprieties. Uh, just, uh, just this is a wild day. NBA all star reserved announced reserves announced Nola mellow ball, no Trey young cam Newton said he'd rather keep his MVP award than win a super bowl.
Okay. Not a shock. Very into himself. We spoke to Merrill Hodge, talked about rule changes in the NBA, Adam silver floating ideas to shorten games. Josh Allen might get himself a new contract despite recently losing.
He deserves it. There's a lot going on. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. And yes, I did some, uh, some great work in a break in the break. I found out how long it will take to send Ryan Hickey to the sun.
We will look that up in a second. Let's talk to Lee from Cincinnati. You're on the JR sport reshow sub Lee. Hey, Jr. Thanks for taking my call.
And I've just got a few things I want to say. First of all, I think the problem that we have with what you're talking about with viewership, you know, do you know that, um, within the, since 20, since the year 2000 people's, um, attention band has diminished by almost 30%. And that's why when you were asking about the call, the internet, yeah. Well, yeah.
I mean, unfortunately that, that takes away from everything that, you know, that you might want to watch that you might want to see. And so when you're talking about why, you know, get people pay attention to this or that, that's what it is. But like the question I want to call and ask you about that was this, do you think that the college football playoff was a success? Do you think it did what it was supposed to, or do you think that it didn't be around? In my opinion, I think it did what it was supposed to because it took a team that actually had lost. And, but they still showed that just by playing the games on the field that they were the best.
I want to know what your opinion is. They made money and people were entertained. Uh, this, I think it did what it was supposed to do. That's it. They wide in the field. They put, they, they wide in the field. They put more teams in it. Those teams got, they asses whooped hello to SMU and what have you. And we saw what we saw.
I don't understand your question, Mike. It made money. That was the goal. And people watched that was the other side. Well, yeah, that's always the goal is to make money.
You're absolutely correct. But do you think it really showed who the best team was or do you think that it was a farce? Yeah, no, it's not a farce.
It's not a farce. We saw the most talented team with the best defense and ridiculous offensive weapons as freaks go out there and win. Like it's a, it's, I don't want to call it a toss up year to year, but we know the system in college football has completely changed year over year.
You know, I think we'd be hard pressed to see any team, not just an Alabama kind of run roughshod and start many dynasties like them. Those days are over, especially given the transfer portal. I mean, the goal was to eliminate the idea of, hey, we have a select group of individuals who select who is deserving to go to the college football playoff.
They expanded it to 12. Other teams got in, got their asses whooped, and we saw the best team win. End of story. Well, I agree with you about that completely 100%. But do you think this is better than the old system to where you used to have people voting on who the best team was? I'm fine with this.
They don't need to expand it any further. I'm cool. To me, if you're asking me personally, I do not care because to sit down and watch a bunch of, I don't want to call a middle rate, but these are not contenders.
Like I don't need, I'm not all that interested outside of, you know, most people. Let's think about this in basketball terms. We got 64 teams and then we got another four teams to have a tournament just to see if there's a chance to create stories, to see the upsets. I got no issue with college football doing that. And if they keep with 12 teams or they expand, maybe they'll have a team that does that. I think it'll be much more difficult than football than basketball.
It doesn't, it doesn't bother me at all. People complain about the teams that didn't get in. They widened the range of the teams that can compete. And so people now have less to complain about. Now you got into the playoff and if you get your ass whooped, then there's nothing to complain about. End of story. You can't believe 12 teams though. Nobody should complain about anything because 12 is the limit.
There's no way that any team that's going to make it. But do you think that there might be a Cinderella story sometime? I think there will be. I think that's what it gives everybody. It gives everybody hope.
You understand what I mean? And that's why I think that it was a great thing that happened. Well, good. Well, good.
Thank you Lee for calling from Cincinnati. Yeah, hope is nice. And maybe one day there is some team that goes on a Cinderella run. How often is that going to happen? I just think that that is so much more unlikely in football because eventually you're just going to meet a better team and we can't run the same stretch. And maybe it comes down to a team has to suffer and deal with an injury. They widen the field. There's less to complain about.
Go figure it out on the field. That's it. Was it a success? Yeah. People watched. They made money.
Done. There was interest in other teams. Great. We had a guy call up. Hickey, how long did that guy call up about SMU winning? Like for like for, for two months? Yeah.
It was a while. Yeah. So I mean, if, if you're going to be happy, if, if the guy at SMU was happy, this is a school that didn't even have a football program. And now they got one now they're in a college football playoffs. So yeah.
What do you do for everybody? Not less to complain about. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Hickey, I don't know why we talked about sending you to Mars. Uh, not Mars. Did I say Mars or the sun? No, you said Mars. Then you said, did you see that they are getting close to the sun and sent a Rover out there or some sort of spaceship? They sent a solar probe, which is about the size of a car.
It took six years to get to the sun. This is the fastest thing that a human being has ever made. I think it traveled.
I don't even know. I was going to say, did you see how fast it was going? I read the article. You sent me 430,000 miles an hour and it took six years to get there. That's insane. Yeah. And now if it was, I don't want to say normal, I believe it was a, a plane, not a plane.
Yeah. If you took a plane, 550 miles per hour, it would take 20 years to get to that same space in the sun. 20 years in a plane, just straight going 20 years. How do you have enough fuel for that? I don't know. Hickey, they be doing stuff.
Hickey, come on, man. I can, that's, that honestly is actually crazy. How do you travel that far? Six years worth of fuel to get there and then another six years back. Here's a better, how powerful is the rocket? Is it the rocket? Is it the fuel?
Is it a combination? Like at what point? So it has to lift off from earth, right? And so it's already going fast and now it's in the atmosphere. You got a great question. What's propelling it to go that fast?
Ain't no slingshotting out of space. That's just winding it up and letting it go. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't even think about that part either. It just seemed like the engine, but I mean, that seems. Maybe it has a lot of, that's, you're right.
It's six years of fuel. I don't know. Hickey, why don't we have flying cars here? I don't know.
Government regulations. Why not? I don't know.
Yeah. If we're doing all this stuff, like also how come we can't have planes that go faster? If you can build a rocket that goes 430,000 miles an hour. Have you seen some, I think they like they have and want planes that could get from here to London in like two hours. Hmm. Feels very feasible. Fastest plane to London, New York, the London, New York. What are they doing?
High speed jet will fly from London to New York in an hour. Oh boy. Wow. Come on, man. Wow.
Buckle up. The Concords record breaking flight time was three hours, two hours and 52 minutes. 1996. The supersonic passenger jet.
No, they haven't been able to break a record in almost 30 years. Hickey, you could, you could fly back to Atlanta in how long would that 10 minutes? I mean, it took me almost three hours. Well, like two hours.
How the hell? Yeah. Come on.
Yeah. Let's make travel even easier. I should have been a scientist. What am I sitting here talking about it for? I should have been a scientist. Is there such thing as science radio?
You can, why not? In venture? It's a niche. Science radio.
Make it happen, captain. Talk to nerds. Is that what it is? You could say that because you'd be in the community. So you're talking about your own people, right? So yeah, yeah, yeah. Talk to nerds.
What would you talk to them about? How the sun? What said nerd stuff? The sun. Okay. How, what type of fuel do you use to get there?
We're going to get calls from somebody about this Hickey. That is when you really think about it, like kind of mind blowing. How do you have enough fuel to basically travel 12 years straight?
I don't know, man. I get sick and tired of gassing up my car. And in an electric vehicle, I got to stand here and I got to charge it up.
You got an EV? No, I don't. I guess.
I need to move over. Why, why do you say it like that? No, I need to step my game up. I don't know. I honestly, I'd be afraid of just standing there and having to charge it too long.
That seems annoying. Hickey, I like to drive. I don't, and I know these things have changed over years.
You know, before he is who he is today. I remember, I remember when Tesla came out, I went to the place and I looked at the Tesla's and I'm like, yo, this is pretty cool. And then they told me, they were like, man, it can go 300 miles. And I'm like, I like driving. I think I may go more than that.
I may take a little bit of a trip and go. I'm like, I'm not stopping to charge my car. I can put gas in here and keep on going faster than that.
Car. I can put gas in here and keep on going forever. And then we got, we got, we sending probes to, to the sun and I got to stop and put gas in my car once a week, man. I feel like I'm gypped here on earth. I need to leave getting screwed over short end of the stick.
Take the next probe out to the sun, I guess. And now you're trying to send me to a fiery death. Thanks Hickey. I was trying to save you.
Thanks a lot. Oh man. It's the JR sport pre-show here.
Coast to coast. Hickey, why are we trying to eliminate each other? What's the deal, man? You started, you're going to send me to Mars. I'll send you to the moon. The moon, it seems a little bit safer.
I heard guys have been before, right? Oh, not the moon, the sun. Sorry. Yeah. No, the moon is, I mean, people will probably be living there in the next 10 years or so.
I'm sure. I see the moon all the time. That's old hat, man.
The moon is nothing. Anyways, the JR sport pre-show when we come back, we're going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. You're listening to the JR sport brief.
Let's go. 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. Oh, January 30th, 1994. I'm sorry to the Buffalo bills fans. The bills lost their fourth straight Superbowl.
They lost to the Cowboys, got smashed 30 to 13. Emmitt Smith was the MVP, 132 yards and two touchdowns. Jerry Jones, after the game on NBC, he was let me first say that this is possible because a man has worked and given everything and that he could give and I'm talking about Jimmy since we came here and his spirit and his effort is reflected in the way these players play. This is a great honor for every fan of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm honored to be in the NFL. At that point, he was kissing the ass of Jimmy Johnson and he thought he didn't need him anymore and he won one more and what did he win after that?
A whole lot of nothing. Sorry, Jerry Jones. January 30th, 1996. Magic Johnson, he's back.
1991, he was gone. HIV, comes back in 96. First game back against the Golden State Warriors. He's like, he has 19 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. Listen to the introduction, courtesy of the NBA. And Magic Johnson returns to the NBA after the free throws. How would you like to be taking those free throws? Crowd on their feet, savor the moment.
Pretend from the floor. Oh my, they're on their feet. Magic's first two points on the return. Yeah, they actually went to the playoffs and then Magic Johnson said, all right, I'm done.
I'm just going to make money everywhere else now. Good for him. January 30th, 2018. Speaking of like triple doubles and big points, James Harden, NBA record, a 60 point triple double. The Rockets beat the Magic 114 to 107.
This is what James Harden had to say about his tremendous feat. I mean, we need this win. A big game for us before going on a four game road trip. It was important for us. Well, you beat Calvin Murphy's single game team record by three points.
What does that mean to you? It's one of the greats, man. One of the greats that were put on the Rockets uniform. So it's great to be in company with Cal. You know, we just gotta rack up as many wins. Yeah, and then as we know, James Harden, not too long after he quit on the Rockets, said that they're not good enough to win. And he said he wanted to leave. Good for him. Anyway, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history.
It's been January 30th all day. Today in sports history is going to be bad, OK? Justin Tucker accused of.
Anyway, just keep your private parts to yourself. Allegedly, the allegations 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. We got some call is here. Please be fast, be quick, very quick. Matt from Baltimore. You're on the JR sport. Bresha, go ahead. Hey, what's going JR? First of all, Justin Tucker, I don't really buy that because if he did that to any chicken Baltimore, she just stabbed him. They're tough like that. Now, about the space travel, there are exactly what you said.
There are slingshots in space that are propelling this thing faster, and sometimes it takes six years because if you looked it up, some space travels actually go to a planet, come back to Earth, using the gravity from each planet multiple times to get to gain speed and propel it further out of the solar system. So you actually hit it on the head by denying that it existed. Oh, great.
I'm a modern day scientist. Thank you, Matt. Appreciate you. Thank you for letting us know about women in Baltimore stabbing men.
8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Tom is here from Hawaii. You're on the JR sport.
We show Tom. Go ahead, quick. Hey, JR, really quick. Long time listener.
Third time caller. I wanted to nerd out for you really quick. There actually is a science radio program every Friday on National Public Radio. It's called Science Friday. It's two hours, and it's awesome.
I recommend that. Add a listen to NPR. It's on NPR? Yeah, Science Friday, like two hours every afternoon.
Who hosts it? Shoot, I think it's Ira Glass, I think. Anyways, the Concorde, the supersonic flight thing, there is actually a startup called Boom, and they are in the process of bringing the supersonic flight back. The biggest thing that was the problem was the sonic booms over populated areas were prohibitive. But because of new, lightweight technology and stuff, they're making it so I think it's not going to be as bad. And last thing. No, ain't no last thing. You got to be real fast. How long is it going to take for me to fly to London faster? How long? 10 years, 15 years, I'll be dead. How much longer I got to wait? They're saying that.
They're saying, I mean, they're thinking they're going to be able to get started up in the next three to five years. I don't understand. All right. You got to go fast, Tom. Ten seconds, quick. OK, really quick.
Harking back yesterday, I'm from Utah. My sister was actually a personal assistant to Carmelone, and she told me some stories that would make you blush. She had a he had a condo, a condo that that was locked always in a room that was full of nothing but moonshine and and and guns.
And she would have to bravely move him, move those about for him all the time. Not not surprised, Tom. He is a hunter amongst other things. Thank you for calling from Hawaii. OK. Mahalo, my friend. Aloha. Bye bye. Peace out.
I don't know. Aloha. I know. Peace out. I know later. Peace. Hickey, not surprising on the Carmelone side, huh? No, no, no, no, no, not at all.
And we can go to London real fast in a couple of years. You try first, OK? No, thank you. No, no, no, no. I'll be the last one to go. I'll let everyone else have the fun, have the joy. Try it out.
Let me know how it works. Yeah. We'll put you on a boat. OK, you can bet your way. People did take a couple of months, right? I don't know. Yeah, a long time. Yeah.
No, thank you. Yeah. Anyway, we're done. We'll be back tomorrow.
Six p.m. Eastern, three Pacific. I hope tomorrow's news is not as bad as a lot of the news that we got today. All right. Thank you to Merrill Hodge for joining us. Thank you to Ryan Hickey. Thank you to Greg for holding it down on the boards.
Excellent job. We'll be back tomorrow. Six p.m. Eastern, three Pacific. You can find me online at JR Sport Brief. The JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network is done.
Bart Winkler coming up next. Be safe, people. Much love to you. Thank you. Thank you, Greg.
