It is! The JR Sportbrief Show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America.
I hope you had a tremendous week. We're about done with all the talk. We're about done with all the fluff. It's about time to play some football. This is about to be the culmination of the 2024 season. Let's get to the Super Bowl already. I'm ready for it.
I'll be here with you for one more hour. This show gets started every weekday, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. How can you listen? Easy. The free Odyssey app is free.
Put it on your phone, put it on your tablet, laptop, all that stuff free. Thank you to everybody tuned in on their local Infinity Sports Network affiliate. If you got Sirius XM, it's channel 375.
If you got a smart speaker, ask the speaker to play the Infinity Sports Network. We've had a busy show. Of course, plenty of football talk.
That's, come on. Thank you to Carrington Harrison for being here with us. You can listen to him throughout the week in Kansas City on 610 Sports Radio.
You can catch him tomorrow morning here on the Infinity Sports Network. Thank you to Martin Frank for joining us. He covers the Eagles on behalf of the Delaware News Journal. Martin thinks the Eagles are going to win. Carrington believes the Chiefs are going to win. I said I believe the Chiefs will win. Hickey says he believes in the Eagles.
I just hope we have a good game. And this is the part that really, really stinks. Somebody has to lose. When we get to the best of the best of the best, and I understand there's a lot of people who absolutely hate the guts of the Kansas City Chiefs. Oh, they win too much. Oh, the games are rigged. Was it rigged when they lost to Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game? Was it rigged when they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals? Was it rigged when he lost and they lost to Tom Brady again against the Buccaneers? Were all those times rigged? Are the Kansas City Chiefs just winning every single game at every single moment, every single time? Ain't nothing rigged about the NFL. Too much money, too much gambling money, two billions and billions and billions, and there's nothing rigged.
Get over it. And I know there's going to be folks on Sunday after the game is over, the confetti has fallen, the speeches have been given. We know who's going to Disney World. We know who the Super Bowl MVP is.
We know all of those things. I can't wait to hear what the conversations are like on Monday. Always rigged. This guy rigged, rigged this, rigged that. Oh, stop it with the rigged.
Quit it. I hope we have a good game. I'm just disappointed that we either get a three-peat and Jalen Hurts loses again, or Jalen Hurts wins, which would be amazing.
But then we don't get a three-peat. This is a legacy game for Patrick Mahomes and I want you to listen to what Jalen Hurts had to say this week. And Jalen Hurts a man of very few words, Jalen Hurts gets right to the damn point. In the simplest terms, Jalen Hurts said the Chiefs, they are, they're a good team. Yeah, they are.
You're right. This is a great opponent. We're about to play a really good opponent.
Well coached, great players, smart, and it'll be a great challenge for us. Yeah, we know it was a great challenge for you two seasons ago and y'all lost via field goal. And for as an amazing game that he had accounting for four touchdowns, they still lost. He had that turnover led to some points that fumble led to some points. They still lost. Let's see if the Eagles can turn things around, do something a little bit different now that they have Saquon Barkley.
That's one thing the Kansas city chiefs do not have, but they have a potential game breaker in their own Xavier worthy can go bust one down. Hey, they got it. It's going to be a fun one. I am looking forward to it. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. You can find me online at JR sport brief. You know, outside of, of taking your calls and the conversations that we got from the Orleans from both Martin and then Carrington, we talked about the MVP that was awarded last night to Josh Allen. I said very, very clearly. Congratulations to Josh Allen. I think when you take a look at Lamar Jackson, when it comes to who and what he is and what he needs to accomplish in a lot of cases, the goalpost is always moved.
I think that is factually accurate. We talked about the individuals who did go into the hall of fame last night, Eric Allen, Jared Allen, Antonio Gates, and Sterling sharp. I told you about some of the candidates for next year, including Drew Brees. And then we gave you the Friday funny of which I heard one of the worst cowboy jokes ever.
Thank you for that. That last call, how Hickey, what was the joke? Was it even, how did the guy Dallas Cowboys win another game? How many guys does it take for the Cowboys to win a game? Is that what it was?
Yes. How many guys does it take the Dallas Cowboys to win a game? And the answer was as many as it takes.
And what did he say? He said all of them and a good owner. Okay. Yeah.
A new owner or a good one. Yeah. Okay. Either one interchangeable. It doesn't, it doesn't change a joke.
That joke is sucked. Oh yeah. By the way, Hickey, I was, I was, I received the message for the Friday funny. This is a request.
It has been requested that we add Kawhi Leonard's laugh to the, the options of joking. Okay. Now I'm just saying it's a, it's a request. Look, I like to, I'm here to try to grant as many requests as I can.
I can get on it as soon as possible. Is that a nightmare though? Is that a huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? I don't know, man.
I'll leave it to you. Oh wow. Oh my God. You tell me that was in the system already in the system already.
I guess when the laugh is that, you know, memorable. You got to do is type in Kawhi. Oh my God. Terrible. Yeah. That's nightmare fuel. Okay.
I'll leave it to you to play whatever the hell you want at your own discretion. Right before we went to break, we heard a real joke. Jimmy Butler said that fans of the golden state warriors can expect the championship.
That is absolutely hilarious. And then we heard from Chidor Sanders. He says that if he's not selected number one overall in the draft, he's okay with that. It's about fit. It's about, it's not about being number one. We've seen plenty of guys get drafted number one and just get fitted into a, a cast, you know, a body cast. They've been fitted. There's a lot. Number one doesn't guarantee you anything.
Nothing. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227.
Now I did tell you before the break and we're going to, I'm going to share this with you at the end of the show. I was contacted by a good friend. There is an international football player who happens to be down in new Orleans. His name is Sammy Kadira. Now, if you don't follow international soccer, I understand you may not know who he is. This man won a world cup with Germany. He played on Juventus. He played for Real Madrid. He won basically every championship in every league that he ever played and participated in. He won the biggest accomplishment of the world cup with his club, Germany. This guy has 9 million followers on Instagram.
Okay. This guy is a global football star in America. He can walk by and kind of mind his business. He's at the Superbowl. He likes American football. And so I'm going to talk to him in the break.
We're going to give him a call in the break and I'm going to ask him, you know, what's going on down there. And I know later on this year in June and July in the summer, we got the Club World Cup here in the United States of America in 11 cities, first of its kind. And then we got the big world FIFA World Cup next year. Also here in North America. This man is an international football. Hickey, imagine being famous and then going to another country like famous all over the world. I mean, all over the world.
And then you go to another country and you could just you kind of just kind of blended with everybody else. Do you think that would happen to Patrick Mahomes? Yeah.
If Patrick Mahomes, let's say, what do you want to put him? India? That I mean, you said Sammy's from Germany. Like if we just flip flop them like, I mean, German NFL games. Yeah, they have NFL Deutschland. Yeah.
Okay. India. If we put Patrick Mahomes in India, nobody knows who this guy is. Middle East. Russia. No, they would not know Netherlands. Like probably not right.
Netherlands. Yes. They they made a couple of. Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
Okay. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
Maybe. Oh, I'm gonna ask Sammy this. So, you know, we got a lot of calls here. Let's get to the calls. Hickey, let's call Sammy in the break because he's he's having a good old time in Louisiana. What if he's eating gumbo?
Drinking those hurricanes? Oh, come on. This is well, he's retired now. But this is the time. So now we got this man's coming from Germany. He drinks the best of beer. And now we're just going to give him hurricanes. Come on.
I mean, when in Rome, right? Okay. All right. Well, we'll get him in the break and we'll we'll play his answers at the end of the show. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Let's talk to Eric. Eric is calling from Texas. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Eric?
Hey, Jerry. I got a little joke for you. Well, before your joke, who you got winning the Super Bowl, man? Man, I got Kansas City because Nick Fangio's 0 and 8 against the Chiefs all time. So I think it's going to be 0 and 9.
But I think it's going to happen since Luca got traded. That's a sign that our nemesis the Eagles are going to win, I think so. OK, I didn't I didn't expect that type of a correlation. But what's your joke? My joke is so. Listen to this here in North Texas in about three weeks, the tornado season is going to start.
So they're already putting out a public service announcement here in Dallas that's telling everybody if they there's possible tornadoes, you know, about to be formed on the horizon, directing everybody to go to Jerry World to the Cowboy Stadium because the Jerry World that's a least likely place to see a touchdown. Oh, my God. Oh, thank you, Eric. Yes, sir.
OK, thank you. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK. Yeah. Won't see a touchdown.
We'll not see anything touched down in Jerry's world. OK. All right. That's better than some of the jokes that we got last hour. All right.
That's a start. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Kevin is here from Oregon. You're on the J.R. sport show. What's up, Kevin? Hey, how's it going? Oh, it's going good, man. You just rolling down. Well, hold slow down, Kevin. Am I the first person you talk to today? Sorry, I came in a little hot there.
Yeah, well, I'm going to get right down to it. I got the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. So I got Saquon Barkley is going to break off 70 yard run late in the game. I'm going to say that Eagles are going to go up four. So the Chiefs can't win it by a Super Bowl. Patrick Mahone does what Patrick Mahone always does.
Marches downfield, game winning drive, game winning touchdown. Travis Kelce. And I got to say, it's not Rick. You know why it's not Rick?
Because he does it time and time and time again. And I'm not even. All right. Thank you. OK. All right. Thank you, Kevin.
Appreciate you, man. Hickey, was that bad Bluetooth or was he going 200 miles per hour down the highway? I think the ladder with a window to open as well. Oh, my God. Some nice fresh air.
I was going to say, I hope he flies out, but that not really. Jeez. Happy Friday. Not really. I'm here for say, yes, sir.
Not really. I'm here for safety. No, you are your Mr. Safety. Not for him, but for the other drivers. No one to see no flying objects. Hickey almost ran over a thing of ice today. Like, what are we doing out here?
OK, wait, what didn't you say was 75 degrees? Yeah, but somebody on the highway on the freeway. Oh, Jesus. What's that thing you get from in the front of the grocery store? You know, like a bag of ice. Yeah, bag ice.
And it's just sitting there. And I had to figure out how do I swerve around this ice to a not hit a bag of ice, which I don't want to know what happens if you had a bag of ice and not swerve into the lane next to me. You know, did you swerve around it or drive right over it? Like, no, I went around it. OK. And there was nobody next to me. So I was able to kind of swerve around and get back in my lane. Good, because, yeah, that was a bag of ice. And it was a big bag ice to fall out like a pickup truck. Yeah, I'm guessing. Right. And it's 76 degrees outside. People are like, I don't know.
I don't know what you need a bag of ice for. None of my business. 8552124227 Jay is here from Maryland, Maryland. You're on the JR sport show. Jay, what's up? Hey, how are you doing?
I'm good. What's up? Oh, not much. Not much. Just hanging out on a Friday night. Just listening to you. Good. I'm listening to you.
Not really. But what's going on? Oh, well, I'm well, it's a Friday night and I'm just out and about.
I see a lot of stray cats every day. So I'm out and about feeding my strains and listening to you and Ryan. So that's that's that's that's what's going on with me. Not nothing spectacular. Is there anything else that you want to say or is that that's why you called to tell me about your cats?
No, no, no, not at all. You asked me what's going on. So I just I felt like I should tell you what what you know, I that's just what's going on with me right now.
No, I called today because I have a Super Bowl pick and I've got a and I got a joke. So I quickly I don't know which which order you give me. Give me. OK, just give me the team. We don't need the explanation.
What team are you going with? Well, one quick explanation is all it is. I'm going with the Chiefs because I just you know, I told all my friends two weeks ago that there's not a player that's going to be responsible for the Chiefs beating the Bills. It's going to come.
The reason that they're going to beat them is because Andy Reid. OK, OK. You said you said you had a quick explanation. That's a long one. What's your joke? That's quick. OK, well, one of my two favorite comedians of all time.
No, no, no, no. Just tell the joke, Jay. I'm going to tell the joke.
It's a Red Fox joke on Stanford and son Red Fox. Lamont took his dad to the hospital and and and Fred Pamper did what he normally does. He started hitting on the on the young, beautiful nurse.
And and Lamont would tap his father in the shoulder and cut that out, cut that out. You know what you are? You're just a dirty old man.
And Fred Pamper said, yeah, and I'm going to be a dirty old man till I'm a dead old man. That's that's that's one of my favorite jokes. Well, that's OK. Well, thank you, Jay, for calling from Maryland. Appreciate you. All right.
They are. Have a great night. Take you to you to that. That was Hickey. That's not a joke. What is that?
Eating that trash? Oh, my God. What was the joke? Did I miss?
Well, what did you just play? Trash. Oh, my God. Yeah. Bubba Dubb, a comedian.
Bubba Dubb is a comedian. He said that was trash. Wow. Was that a real do we call that a reenactment?
What was that? He said, yeah, I guess. I don't know. I was under the impression it was like a a joke that was built off of the bit that I've never heard before. Yeah, it was a it's a bit from a sitcom. I watched Sanford and Son. It's a like what I'm supposed to sit here and tell jokes from The Simpsons that I watched. I don't know.
So it was a direct copycat retail. He told he told us about it. He basically told us about a scene from a TV show. Oh, geez. Today's nothing. We've had some great jokes over the last few weeks and months of it.
We've been doing this. Today sucks. So far. Today's been terrible. Yeah.
The tornado touchdown one from Eric in Texas is by far the best. And and that's not saying much. I say it's not a joke. But, you know, I'm not losing my breath over that from laughing too hard. Yeah.
Oh, boy. We still got time. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Don is here from Milwaukee.
What's up, Don? Hey, JR. Yeah, my Super Bowl pick the way I look at it. There's four things going for Kansas City. Number one is Andy Reid. Number two, a quarterback.
Number three is defensive coordinator. And last but not least, you got Taylor Swift as a cheerleader. OK, you like Taylor Swift.
You like her. Oh, yeah. OK, I think she's well, actually, she's going to be in attendance. Isn't the president going to be there, too? Yeah, we talked about who's the more famous out of the two of them.
So well, I hope they show her more than that dried up prune. OK, anyhow. Hey, I want you to do me a favor. You want me to do you a favor? Go ahead.
Right. Let's say this one phrase for me. It always I always get a kick out of this when you say it. I don't know when you say beat that ass. You want to get my call, JR?
You're welcome, Don, for calling from Milwaukee. He wants me to see. Should I repeat that? Does he want me to say that? I think he wants to repeat it.
He's recording and just have, you know, have that for safe keeping. Hickey, give me give me two. Give me a team that that I can reference it for this guy.
Go ahead. Give me some of the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland Browns.
The Cleveland Browns are used to getting their ass beat. OK, that's close enough. Thank you for calling from Wisconsin. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We're going to take a break when we come back. I'm going to get some more of your calls. And you know what?
You enjoyed what I just said. Thank you. We got to show love to someone whose career is going to end on Sunday.
It has nothing to do with the Super Bowl. I will explain. And then also, before we get out of here, I told you we're going to call up in the break. Sammy Cadera. This is a global football celebrity. I got to track him down. And he's in Louisiana. Like, wow. The global football man is in Louisiana for the Super Bowl.
I have no idea. We're going to hear from him. We're going to share with you a bunch of things that took place this day in sports history.
We got a lot more to do. The J.R. sport show, the Infinity Sports Network. Don't move. You are listening to the J.R. sport brief. It is the J.R. sport show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. It's football season and Uber Eats has the best deals on game day food. No matter what you're craving, Uber Eats. Officially on demand.
The official on demand delivery partner of the NFL. Go ahead and order now. You know, Uber Eats sounds good to me. That may be what I have when I get out of here. Got everything.
Just have it delivered to your door. Shout outs to all the Uber drivers out there. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Now, right before we went to break and I'm gonna get to your calls in a second. We all know the Super Bowl is on Sunday taking your predictions, taking your jokes.
This is not a joke. On Sunday, there's going to be a career that's going to end. Hubie Brown, who has coached in the NBA, has been a broadcast analyst here in the NBA. Hubie Brown is 91 years old.
Hubie Brown is going to call his final game this upcoming Sunday as the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Milwaukee Bucks. Hubie Brown has had to deal with so much tragedy over the past several years. His wife has passed. His two children have passed. It's been a rough go for Hubie Brown.
Now I've made fun of plenty of his calls, because let's just say they have been very, very descriptive. But you can't take away from what the man has contributed to basketball. And this is exactly what you call a basketball lifer. Hubie Brown at 91 years old is going to call his final game this upcoming Sunday. So if you don't feel like sitting down and watching 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 hours of pregame. Yeah, maybe you don't want to watch the Bucks and, you know, the Sixers, whoever's going to play.
You don't know who's going to play in an NBA game. Listen to Hubie Brown. A matter of fact, ESPN, they already took some time out to show Hubie Brown a whole lot of love.
Listen to this. Hubie Brown has been the soundtrack of the NBA. Hubie has educated thousands of people who watch basketball from his early days in the 80s CBS through 40 years later, working at ESPN at ABC.
Hubie is still teaching his secret sauce folks. He can give it to an all three levels. He can give you the entry level basketball. He can give you the mid-level basketball explanations of tactics, or he can give you the PhD level and all make it sound very digestible.
One of the brightest basketball minds, I think who has ever graced the league. Yeah. He loves Hickey. He loves to talk about that painted area.
Okay. No, that he does that fundamentals. He loves, he loves the game.
The passion still at 91 has not wavered one ounce. Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm gonna miss that part.
That's the only thing we're going to miss when he's at least I can pull it up on YouTube. I guess when he just says painted area. Well, you just can't call it in the paint. I don't know. God bless Hubie Brown.
Hickey. I'm if I remember I'm going to, well, I'm going to remember, I'm going to tune in for a little while. I'm going to tune in. I hope to remember.
I do. You're going to watch, you're going to watch all the pregame all day. No, no, but like also I'm not going to be sitting on my couch or at least I hope not on Sunday. I don't know what I'll be doing. Right.
Get out and about, do take a walk. I ain't turning that television on where specifically that game probably until like five 45 is that I don't need to see nothing. Give me the national Anthem and play the game. Okay. That's it. I don't need nothing else. I've already planned Hickey. I am watching all of the commercials ahead of time.
You can do that. They're all been released. Remember? Yeah. Well not, I think almost all of them.
USA today ad tracker. Remember? Right.
I wasn't sure if that was like live in the moment. Um, or a few of them were released. I didn't realize they all were released beforehand. Interesting.
I don't know if it's all, but I went on the site. There's a lot of commercials there because I was flipping through them like not going to watch this, not going to watch this, but I'm a, I'm a flip through them all. Yep. Okay. So maybe text me on Saturday or Sunday morning so you know what to look out for. I will not, I will not, I will not, uh, have to be glued to the couch so I can get up. My guess is we will have two commercials that are good slash funny. Okay. The rest will be ass.
Rest will be terrible. Okay. We can discuss it on Monday. Eight five five two one two 4227. That's eight five five two one two 4227 Reggie from Louisiana. Go ahead. I really like you brother. I mean you got, you, you talk a little, a little trash.
You uh, but you back it up. You got what we call down here, but a little bit of swag with you. And that's what I like.
Oh thank you Reggie. What else you got? I like a man with a little bit of swag. Me too. So I like that.
But uh, I'll tell you if you want to know my game pick that I, I don't have a pony in the race here, but I would like to see somebody other than uh, uh, Kansas city. But, but I know in my heart, my homemaker to let that happen. Okay. So here's my quick joke. I heard this one the other day.
I think, I think he's going to make up for all that mess. You've been here. Okay.
All right, here you go. Uh, they had this, they had this old country town and uh, the, the town kind of inherited old, old road dog in the area. Then they'd feed him, they'd water him, they even cut doggy doors in their, in their garage to kind of take him in for the night. So this dog used to love to hang out on the railroad track behind the cul-de-sac. It can lay on a rock and if you stay warm in the sun and every day about five o'clock, this railroad, this red tree to come along and he got used to it.
Old red knew that train would come along. Well, one day Jr, he made a mistake and he left his, a part of his tail on the track. Okay. Okay. And he, and the train ran over the tail and with old red turn around, the tree cut his head off. Okay.
And so the moral of that story is never lose your head over a piece of tail. Ah, okay. Hey, okay. Reggie. Okay. Okay. Little freak joke that thank you Reggie.
That's a, Hey, that's life advice. Thank you Reggie. Have a good weekend sir. You as well.
You as well. Hey Marco, did you, did you learn something? Uh, a little bit. I was wondering where we were going, but a decent payoff.
Long way to get there, but decent payoff. Never lose your head over a piece of tail. Yep.
Many men, many men have learned such a lesson. That's sound advice Jr. It is. It is.
I don't know. That's a joke. That needs a, that's a sermon. Okay. Yeah. That, that's, that's more Dr. Phil, man. That, that's not really a joke. Yes. That's, that's, that's facts.
Wow. It's the Jr Sport Breeze show here with you on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break when we come back. Phone lines are here. If you want to give me a holler before we roll out eight five five two one two 42 27 that's eight five five two one two 42 27 in the break. We're going to go ahead and give Sammy Kadira a call as he is running around in new Orleans, Louisiana.
Yeah. One of the most famous footballers on planet earth is basically, I don't want to say undercover. He ain't wearing nothing. He's just not, he's not known in America.
To a lot of people. We'll talk about him. And matter of fact, let's try to record him on the other side. You're listening to the Jr sport brief. It is the Jr sport Breeze show here with you on the infinity sports network. Before we get ready to roll into a few things that took place this day in sports history, we've had a lot of big names that have joined us all week long. We spoke to champ Bailey. We had Warren moon. We had Herm Edwards. He was here. Well, I just told you in the break, we had a great conversation because he's running around Louisiana with someone who is an international football star.
This man's name is Sammy Kadira. Now this is what's amazing because here in the United States of America, we have plenty of amazing football fans, but we got our American football, we know soccer slash football all over the world is global. Sammy has won a world cup with Germany. This man has played for some of the biggest soccer clubs on earth.
You Ventus real Madrid. He's won champions league titles. He has played with Cristiano Ronaldo.
He's played with Marcelo who just retired. He's a big deal. He has 9 million followers on Instagram. He is a big freaking deal all over the world. He's also a fan of our football. He's down in new Orleans. He's checking out the super bowl and he's also telling people about the FIFA club world cup that we'll see later on this year in the summertime, June and July across 11 cities here in the United States of America. Now that's the, that's, that's the fun part because next year we get the FIFA world cup where all the countries are represented. And so first things first, I asked Kadira about, you know, walking around and he told me that every now and then he'd take some photos.
People recognize him, but he enjoys being in the United States of America and just being able to not be hounded by people all the time. And then I asked him about being an NFL fan and he's like, yeah, I like the NFL. Yeah, I do. Come on. I have an NFL fan. Yeah. So, uh, some people told me like, yeah, you're a Ravens fan by the next step into the Eagles.
So if the Eagle had, I've been to the chief. So I really love the sport. I love the competition. Um, I love the organization and uh, yeah, there are so many great players who are speaking the NFL supporter from Germany right now. Yeah, there's, Oh, we know NFL Deutschland, NFL got a lot of fans out in Germany and I guess they made one in Sammy Kadira. I also asked Sammy, man, what's the deal with the FIFA club world cup in June and July.
Listen to what Kadira told me. The first ever, uh, club FIFA club, um, world cup, uh, ever played. So, and, uh, North America, USA. So it will be the right place for big, big competition. Um, and easy to speaking very two teams all over the world, um, or qualified coming to the U S uh, uh, 13 teams from Europe. Like, yes, you mentioned the majority event was PSG Massey, like really big teams, uh, uh, with MPAPI with Erling Haaland.
Uh, then we have, uh, into Miami with, uh, Leona Massey. We have a few of South America, uh, um, Asian teams, some African teams. Uh, so my dad is from Tunisia. So I'm really proud that Esperance Tunis is part of the team.
So it's super global and there, uh, over four weeks they're competing at a group stage and another stage who was the best team in the world or the best club in the world. Wow. That's amazing.
Now here, let's get to brass tax here. I asked Sammy who he thinks is going to win the super bowl. Listen to this.
I watched a few games, uh, let's say many games and, uh, but I have also friends who are working or broadcasters, especially in Germany. And there's a never bet against Patrick Mahomes. I'll go with the chiefs. Yeah.
Never bet against Patrick Mahomes. Even the German footballer recently retired a few years ago. Even, even he knows that and Sammy's a cool dude. I look forward to seeing him here in Atlanta, Georgia, Atlanta is going to be one of the sites of the FIFA club world cup here in June and July, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Charlotte, LA, Miami, Nashville, New York, New Jersey, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle, Washington. And by the way, FIFA is looking for volunteers.
If you live in any of those cities, go to fifa.com slash volunteer. I look forward to getting out to a lot of these matches. This is going to be a fun time. First time FIFA club world cup. It's the JR sport reshow here on the infinity sports network.
That's coming up in June and July. Let's go back in time to a few things that took place this day in sports history. 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 February 7th. The year is 2025, February 7th, 2010. The saints beat the Colts in the Super Bowl 31 to 17. Drew Brees was the MVP, but do you remember that onside kick to start the second half? Yeah, Sean Payton went for an onside kick and they kicked. They ultimately scored a touchdown.
Listen to NFL films break down that decision. You know, they say the who helped the saints win the Super Bowl because the halftime show was so long, but half times 35 minutes, you know, somewhere between teenage wasteland and pinball wizard, you know, decided that this was, this was going to be the time to run this. We're going to start this half kicking off. All right. Ambush.
Let's go get this game. Thomas Morrison has this awesome quote. He says, I wasn't worried.
I was terrified. That is the ballsiest play in Super Bowl history. Marcel said it, you got to hit balls to win this game. You set the record. Man. Yeah, they got that onside and then scored a touchdown and ultimately won. Hey, February 7th, 2016, the Broncos beat the Panthers in the Super Bowl in San Francisco, Santa Clara, but 24 to 10, Von Miller lost his mind.
Okay. Six tackles, a pass defended two and a half sacks, two forced fumbles, two quarterback hurries. Yeah, he was dangerous.
He was the MVP. Listen to him beat up on Cam Newton, CBS. The Panthers have a third and 10.
Here comes pressure and they've gotten to him. The ball is out in the end zone and it's recovered by Malik Jackson for the touchdown. It was Von Miller with the strip sack and Jackson with the recovery. Rushing forward ball comes out of the hands of Newton. It's on the ground and still on the ground picked up by TJ Ward at the four yard line. Von Miller did it again. Yeah, yeah. Cam Newton is reminded all the time that he didn't go on the floor to grab that football. Okay. Did not want to recover that fumble.
No piece of kit. No, no piece of Von Miller he wanted. February 7th, two years ago, 2023, LeBron James becomes the NBA's all time leading scorer passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He had 38 points in a loss against Oklahoma City. Listen to LeBron pass Kareem. This was on TNT.
Yeah. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 38 points in a loss against Oklahoma City. LeBron has 38,300 plus points. LeBron James in the span of two years. Man, he is pulling up on a 42,000.
LeBron James has 41,599 points. That's a lot. Let's try to get your calls in please. You gotta be fast.
Otherwise you might get cut off. We want to get everybody on. Rick is here from Baltimore. Go ahead, Rick. Quick.
Hey, thanks for taking my call, Jay. Gotta go faster. Gotta go fast.
Yeah. The other day I'm going down the road and in this field off to the left, I see this Turkey running through the field coming towards the road. And then I'm getting closer. He's going faster.
And then the last second before he gets to the road, this chicken comes out of nowhere and says, Hey man, stop, stop. Don't do it. You'll never hear the end of it. Okay.
That was fast, Rick. Thank you for calling from Baltimore. Nice joke. Take care.
You too. Hickey, did you get the joke? Yes.
Thank you. Now why the chicken crossed the road now be why the Turkey crossed the road. I got the joke to make me laugh. Different story. Don is calling from Washington. Nope.
He's not in Washington, Wisconsin. Don, you gotta go fast. You're on the JR sport reshow. Hey JR, the last time I went to tell you this joke three weeks ago, all my phone did. Uh, Don, you're, Don, you're wasting precious time. Tell the joke.
Okay. First of all, I'm taking the toad up the Eagles and the joke is back in the day when they made moonshine and a regular basis down south, they could educate the kids. So the school said, let's give them a little more education.
Give an example. When the teacher goes, here's a glass of water and here's a glass of whiskey. I'm going to take a worm and drop it in the glass of water. Worms slam down to the bottom and stuff. Then she goes, I'm going to take the worm and drop it in the glass of whiskey. Curl up into a ball and die.
She goes, where's that teacher class? And Johnny goes, teaches me to drink it up. Good whiskey.
You'll never have worms. Good idea, Don. I'm going to teach that to the children. Okay. Thank you Don for calling from Wisconsin. Yeah. Hickey, I was going to go for the long boo.
Let's do the long boo. Is it there? Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, thanks for the jokes. We'll be back on Monday. 6 PM Eastern three Pacific. I'm going with the Kansas city chiefs. Hickey has gone with the Philadelphia Eagles.
