Will Cam Newton Apologize For Comments? (Hour 4)

It is the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody listening all over North America. I hope you're well. I hope you're safe. I'll be hanging out with you for the next hour. This show gets started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific, and we've had a busy show. It is Wednesday. Every Wednesday, I bring you a new top six list.

Today, thank you Anthony Rendon for the inspiration. We talked about some of the worst contracts, the six worst contracts in sports today. Congratulations Deshaun Watson for being number one.

Earlier in the show, we talked about Travis Kelce. Is he retiring? Is he sticking around? He says he doesn't know. I think he's going to collect his $17 million later on this year.

Just a hunch. Kevin Durant wasn't excited last night as he surpassed 30,000 points. Deshaun Elliott, his safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, not all that excited on the prospect of Aaron Rodgers potentially joining the Steelers. We talked about Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, their appearance on the Jimmy Fallon show last night. I guess Jalen Hurts can finally have fun. It took him long enough. Dan Hurley, head coach of the UConn Huskies. It doesn't look like he's going to win another championship this year, but he is certainly having a lot of fun talking smack to the opposition. Matt Patricia is on his way to coaching college ball. New defensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes. If you've missed a minute of the show, you can go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. You can find me online.

If you use the internet, you can go ahead, you can find me. I am at JR Sport Brief. That's at JR Sport Brief everywhere on social media, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, all of it.

X, whatever they're calling it today. 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27. That's 8-5-5, 2-1-2, 42-27. We gave you that top six list. Deshaun Watson might be number one on the list. Worst contracts in sports.

I had Anthony Rendon at two, Joel Embiid at three, Chris Bryant at four, Bradley Beal at five, Javier Baez at six. And plenty of other bad contracts in sports. Let's get some more of your calls. Of course, at the end of the show, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history.

And then I guess to the shock of maybe probably nobody. You know, last night, we talked about Steve Smith, the wide receiver, not being a fan of Cam Newton. Cam Newton has made a lot of comments over the past several weeks about, well, let's just say his comments have been selfish. And more recently, he called his teammates when he came into the NFL with the Panthers, he called them losers. A couple of weeks ago, he's just like, yeah, if I had a choice of keeping my MVP or winning a championship, I would keep my MVP because it speaks more to me that I did my job. And yeah, he's real into himself. Well, Steve Smith said, you need to relax.

And there's a bunch of other players that played on the Panthers that, uh, let's just say they don't agree with Cam Newton and his character, his characterization of the locker room. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, a super producer and host Ryan Hickey's in New York. We're going to get his thoughts on a bad contract in a bit. But let's go ahead and talk to Buck from Birmingham.

You're on the JR Sportbreeze. Show us up, Buck. Thanks for taking my call, JR. You know, I'm a frequent listener and a long time life with 76er fans. And what Joe LMB did the other night when he did his rendition of Ben Simmons, that's just too far, man. Oh yeah, that was last night. That was last night. He had an open three to basically win the game and he decided not to take it. I believe he was one for five from three.

So, uh, yes, yes. You think a trade to the Suns for Bow Bow might be of any good liking to 76er fans these days? I had it with Joe LMB after last night. After that Ben Simmons, that was just too far. Well, yeah, well, the money, the money doesn't match up, Buck.

But even if it did, uh, I guess the Phoenix Suns, if there would be a dumb enough team to do it, it'd either be the Suns or the Dallas Mavericks. You gotta get him out of Philly one way or another. Well, take care, man. Thank you, Buck, for calling from Birmingham. He might have to leave Philadelphia in a body cast, okay? They got Joe LMB until 2029. And that's just a hunch that he is, uh, he's going to opt into that final year of his deal. 28, 29.

Just the, just the hunch. I don't think Joe LMB is going to, uh, opt out of that one. 855-212-4227. Lincoln is calling from Tennessee. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Lincoln?

Hello, JR. I think Kirk Cousins has a awful contract. Still, I mean, he got bench in Atlanta. He's guaranteed $100 million and he's still looking for a home. Yeah, well, the Falcons were dumb enough to give him that money.

I know, I believe it's $65 million guaranteed over the $180 that they gave him. But nonetheless, to know that Kirk Cousins got that deal and they had Michael Penix Jr., I think that speaks more to how dumb the Falcons were than, uh, you know, him having that deal. I, you know, to be honest, I wouldn't be surprised now that Kirk Cousins admitted that he came back and then he was hurt and then he didn't want to admit it. I wouldn't be surprised if Kirk Cousins, wherever he landed, if he had a decent season. When I say decent, starting 15 plus games, throwing for 3,500 plus yards, you know, giving you more touchdowns than interceptions, that, that would not, would not shock me. I don't think he's completely cooked. And as he admitted, not, not during the season, but afterwards, Kirk Cousins was hurt.

It's just the nature of the beast. And the Falcons, they're the ones who decided to, they spun the bottle twice. They did.

And now they landed on Penix. And now they got to get Kirk Cousins the hell up on out of here because he's a liar. Uh, Hickey, a lot of bad contracts, a lot of bad deals.

Is there anyone that stands out to you in particular? Yes, I will go with Tua Tungavailoa's contract. Ouch. Fifth highest paid in terms of average per year at $53 million. And in terms of guaranteed money, he's top 10 for a guy that has health issues, right?

Has problems staying on the field and in the big games does not perform, has never, will never. That just, to me, seems like a colossal waste of money. It seems like one the dolphins will be regretting.

I mean, they should be kind of already, but if not now, will be very soon. A lot of bad quarterback contracts out there. I think this one takes the cake. Wow. So why?

Because I don't, I don't want to, I don't want to be morbid or be dark. He's a quarterback. He's already been knocked around.

He's not a big dude by any stretch of the imagination. Is it because he's, he's going to be concussed again? Is, is that, is that part of it? Does it not feel inevitable? You're not wishing it on the guy, but it seems likely given his injury history. Yes. And it's sad, but it's a fact, just like the Embiid contract, right? When they gave that extension tumor sitting there going, what are they thinking is going to happen?

He's not getting healthier as he gets older. So it's like you have, right? Don't you have to look at past history to kind of see, okay, how can we project Embiid or in this case, will they be on the field for 17 games a year? Oh man. It's like, if you're the dolphins, that answer's probably no. Well, that draws us right into what happened now at this point. I can't believe in a couple of days, there's going to be two weeks that Luca Doncic has been traded, you know, to the, uh, the Los Angeles Lakers.

I don't know. I think GMs, they are so under the gun. They are so under fire. I don't care if it's the NFL or it's the NBA that they make these decisions just to keep the stars regardless of how ugly or how bleak things are going to be. You know, we talked about Bradley Beal. I got Bradley Beal here on my list.

He's number five, fifth worst contract in sports today. If you're the Washington Wizards and you are already bad and Bradley Beal is already hurt, there's only one reason to sign him. And that's just for name brand value to try to sell tickets to hope that the fan base in Washington is stupid enough just to come through and say, you know what?

I'm going to show up and buy tickets because Bradley Beal might play even though he's already hurt. And you know, here's a newsflash and I hate to share this with a lot of people, not every owner of a professional sports team. And a lot of you know this already. Not every owner is out here trying to win a championship. Some of them are just trying to make money. And if a championship comes by accident or they can luck into something, then good for them.

But they want butts in seats. And so now these these teams get saddled with these awful contracts that people just got to go, why the hell does he have this? Like, Daryl Morey must think he's the smartest guy on planet Earth. I'm going to get Joel Embiid and I have Maxie and I'm going to sign, you know, Paul George, who looks like he's a square peg trying to fit in a round hole in Philadelphia. Like, I'm going to sign all these guys and then I'm going to get McCain.

And now I'm going to I'm going to beat the Celtics. Like, why are we betting on Joel Embiid? Like, let his hurt ass walk. Like some of these players are running out of leverage. Who was it? Nobody wants to trade for Joel Embiid.

Who would have signed him? Everybody's so afraid. Oh, my God, I'm so afraid.

I'd rather have flexibility than be saddled with a seven foot tall, 300 plus pound hospital patient. Eight, five, five, two, one, two, forty, two, twenty seven. That's eight, five, five, two, one, two, forty, two, twenty seven.

But with Tua, yeah, every time I watch that guy play, there's not a moment that I don't go. Well, damn, is he going to get up? Kevin is calling from Montana. You're on the JR Sport Brief Show. What's up, Kevin? Hey, JR, how are you doing tonight? Excellent. How are you feeling? You know, I'm doing great. Hey, I'm just giving you a shout out from up here in the great north hold.

We're about eight degrees above zero right now. Oh, nice. Yeah. And so I like your show. This is just nothing but a shout out.

I don't have a lot of nothing intelligent to really say to you short of that. I enjoy your honest approach to everything and just enjoy listening to your to your program. And so I just wanted to let you know that we appreciate it. I don't know if you get a lot of calls from up here in this area of the country, but just, you know, your your wealth and knowledge and your take on everything is much appreciated all the way across the country and up to the far north as well. Well, thank you, Kevin.

I certainly appreciate you for calling from Montana. So eight degrees is nothing to me. Well, here's a better question. Well, what you mean for dinner tonight? What's what's on what's on the plate? Well, see, that's a good question.

I just got off work and I live by myself. So I'm thinking probably just like a bowl of Campbell's chicken noodle soup is going to do it. OK. All right. Well, yeah, eight degrees outside. I don't know if you killed like an elk. I didn't know, man.

I don't know. Well, you know, there's a lot of people that would be dining on elk and stuff like that. But yeah, I'm just I'm a bachelor type guy that whatever is quick and easy to get to. That's that's usually what I go for. And listen, Kevin, I certainly understand. I'm in the same boat as you, Kevin.

OK, I don't know if I'm I have chicken noodle soup today, but I'll find something delicious. OK, well, you listen, my man, you can hear yourself. Like I said, I enjoy listening to your program. All the best. You call any time, Kevin. Appreciate you. You got it. You take all the best.

No doubt. Eight degrees. That's nothing.

Nothing. Eight degrees I could do. Come on. Hickey, what was it? Has it been eight degrees in New York recently?

Like a month ago, it was very cold for like a week and a half. Oh, yeah. But you're a tough guy, man. You're very tough. Of course. I made it. You know, I made it to work.

Nobody. Eight degrees is nothing. Snowed last night is nothing. Look at us. We're still here.

Yeah, we sure are. Speaking of tough, as I look up on the screen, I say tough. I look up. Elmo was talking to a Roger Federer.

What are you watching? It's a it's a commercial. Oh. Come on, man. Elmo has has Elmo not met every major celebrity on earth. Yeah, I guess you know, when you think about it, Elmo is pretty popular. You can throw out a name. Most names you could throw. I think Elmo has met every. You could just name somebody Elmo's met him.

Like I'm trying to think about this. Barack Obama. You think Barack Obama and Elmo have met? Probably.

OK, probably. Jimmy Fallon, he's met Elmo, right? Probably laughed just at the side of him. What, Elmo laughed at him? No, Jimmy Fallon laughed at Elmo. OK, I laughed at everything.

OK, OK. All right. Well, he's a comedian. Didn't he do SNL? Is that how you got famous, Jimmy Fallon? I have no idea.

Maybe. I think he did SNL, I believe. So it should be featured then on the 50th anniversary coming up. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. SNL is celebrating 50 years. Oh, you haven't. Oh, yeah, it's been all over TV. They've been running ads like crazy recently. I thought they did this like five years ago. Well, I feel like every year is like the 50th anniversary or something. I guess they don't have much new content, so they got to, you know, they need an excuse to bring the oldies back. Hey, it's our 53rd anniversary. Let's bring all the old heads back.

So what does that mean? We'll see Maya Rudolph. Is that who it is?

And she's there. Yeah. Eddie Murphy will be there? I would assume like you think you'd bring back the ones that are funny if he wants to.

They got the show off the ground. OK, all right. Well, you said it's Sunday, Sunday night. Yeah, I'm not going to be watching. Well, it's not the All-Star game.

So I was going to say, what are the choices? Oh, my God. Yeah, I'll be I'll be watching that NBA All-Star game. The four on four. Is that what it is now? A one on four?

Isn't it so far? I have no idea, actually. Is it five on five or four teams in a tournament? What do they call it? Is it it's calling it a tournament? What else can you call it? It's like a round robin, foursome. NBA All-Star.

They get some extra streamers just by people typing in the wrong thing. This is not what I was looking for. What the hell is this?

By accident. What, NBA foursome? Yeah, I don't know.

You mean don't look that up. Adam Silver will be bragging on Monday about the ratings. Best ratings we ever had. This this new format's the right one. We don't even know. What are they calling this NBA All-Star?

Here's the schedule. I don't know what they call it. Does it have a name?

I don't know. I found out that I believe Steph Curry and Sabrina Unesco are going to have another shootout. Oh, exciting, right? Well, Caitlin Clark said no.

So I kind of took a lot of excitement out of that. And she's listen, she's a boss. She could put her own shootout on pay-per-view and make more money. So that is true.

That's a good idea. Celebrity boxing, like she just does like different competitions. So on Sunday, it says that it is the young stars versus the global stars and then the OGs versus the rising stars. And then at ten o'clock, we'll have whatever the two teams that want. So I don't even know what the hell they call them. So. Whatever one of them on stars playing, what time is that?

I don't know. Whenever LeBron summons them from whatever it is, I have no idea. Listen, NBA got to try whatever the hell they can try. I know people are real excited about Mack McClung in the dunk contest.

I just can't emphasize, overemphasize. The NBA has had a guy who's played a grand total of five games in the dunk contest the past three years. We used to have Hall of Famers. Vince Carter was in the dunk contest.

Michael Jordan, the best, the greatest of all time, if you ask me, was in the dunk contest. Now we have Mack McClung. Who?

Exactly. No respect for that. Well, I don't know who he is. Just seen him in the dunk contest. It's the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break.

We come back. Speaking of no respect, Cam Newton's been talking a lot of crap about his former teammates. That's not being respectful. And a lot of his teammates outside of Steve Smith, they got some words for Cam Newton. I can't wait to hear what Cam Newton has to say in response. I'm going to tell you who else is ticked off at camp. Of course, we'll share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history.

You can still call me up 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. You're locked in to the JR sport re-show the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief.

It's the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. Now, last night we talked about Cam Newton, how he has been very vocal about his former teammates and their quality of play. He said when he showed up to the Panthers, the guys in the locker room, they were losers. They didn't know how to win. A few weeks before that, Cam Newton was asked whether or not he would trade in his MVP trophy in 2015 for a championship. Cam Newton said no. He says this MVP shows that I came and showed up and did my job and that everybody else. Well, they didn't do their job.

Go do yours. He said he would choose and keep an individual award over the ultimate prize. It comes across as selfish.

It seems like it. And so Steve Smith, eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, former receiver for the Carolina Panthers. I shared the message he gave Cam Newton directly on X on Twitter. He said, I've watched and listened from afar, Cam. None of us are perfect. Yes, we were two and 14 before you blessed us with your presence. The way you've talked about the Panthers lately, I'm very disappointed.

I wish you nothing but the very best. I am done. That's from Steve Smith.

It didn't stop there. When you start insulting your teammates, that is really the ultimate sign of disrespect. Like you're a team you want as a team, you go down as a team. It's simple as that. Everybody has their role to play and you might have been the best player on the team, but you don't win squat diddly if it's if it's for them. And to garage your teammates is just. Nobody wins by themselves.

Nobody. Well, obviously, Cam Newton didn't apparently was interested in winning. Captain Mutterland spoke to the athletic. He said that for Cam Newton to say that we were losers is a slap in the face. This is a team that was two years removed from playing in the NFC division around against the Cardinals. He said we lost a couple of pieces. We had checked down Jimmy Claussen at quarterback ouch. Speaking of killing your teammates and we had a bad year for him to say that we were losers was crazy.

Charles Johnson. One of the most respected guys in the NFL over the past decade, 15 years. He says a professional calling his teammates losers will never sit well with me. I don't care what anybody says, we all battle together, not just one person. It's never one person who will win a game that's ego talking team game.

Respect the guys. Jordan Gross Pro Bowler won that two and 14 team. He says they were iconic Panthers playing when Cam got there. And you'd be foolish to say that he wasn't a gigantic addition to the success of the organization when he arrived. Also, when Ron Rivera got there.

So there's a pretty damn good argument that Rivera had a lot to do with it as well. And Hickey, Captain Mutterlin is pretty much answering a question that we discussed last night. Why the hell is Cam Newton doing all of this?

And it's really because of attention at camp. Captain Mutterlin said it says he wants to still be relevant. He's in the media world where he does his podcast and first take, which is good.

He says he's happy for him. He's proud of him, but he still thinks he says a lot of this stuff to be relevant. And if you know Cam Newton, you've been around him for years. That's cam. He just wants to still be relevant.

He doesn't have to do all of that to be relevant. You're freaking Cam Newton. You changed the franchise. You're probably one of the biggest players that's ever played here. You don't have to do all that other stuff.

You're already six, six, 200 plus pounds. You don't have to do that to be relevant. You're Cam Newton. Hickey, do you think Cam Newton will apologize on his podcast?

I don't. Yeah, he should. And I think how he's going about his business and his relevancy is sad, but it sounds calculated, right? I think it sounds like many players are not surprised that this is the route that he went down. This seems like this is his personality as a player. Now, as a podcaster, I don't think he now will all of a sudden walk back his comments because a few former teammates are upset with how he characterized the locker room.

I don't think he cares. We've had athletes that have gone nuclear and destroyed. I don't want to say destroy teams, but we have via their behavior. Like what a guy that comes to mind. Manny Ramirez was just we've seen plenty of guys just lose their you know what and all of just be too goofy. And the team goes into the toilet. I can't remember an athlete that just woke up and just quote unquote, for lack of better term, chose violence against his teammates or to be this blatantly disrespectful about the people that he bust ass with. And I never been in no NFL locker room, but that that is a shared experience unlike any other to think that, you know, y'all are all battling it out through pain, through injury, through organized violence.

And then 10 years later, just here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bunch of losers.

Oh, man. Like, I agree with Captain Muddling. Do you do you got to beat people down to elevate yourself? Like, let me call somebody lose because I got no skin in the game. I didn't play.

Let me do that. But to hear that from your own team, like nobody, nobody wants that. And Hickey, I agree with you. I do not see an apology coming. He's just going to say, hey, well, we lost.

What are we? Maybe he cleans it up. Maybe he says, I'm a loser, too.

Is that a way that he puts lipstick on a pig? No, he will not say that. He would never say he's a loser. He'll apologize before he says he's a loser.

OK. All right. What a world. Speaking of losers, we mentioned this last night.

Hickey, is is this a joke? Are we really going to see Patrick Mahomes, senior in a fight versus John Rocker? Are they really going to fight?

You said it yesterday. I'm like, there's no way that can't be true. And Dave Portnoy put out a video today saying that the paperwork is signed.

There's a date sometime in April. And in West Virginia, Pat Mahomes, senior, is going to fight John Rocker. That's good. That's just the fact that that just those words came out of my mouth is just. It should be shocking. It sort of isn't, but it still is.

That makes sense. This is like correct me if I'm wrong. Is this not like one of the lowest forms of entertainment? Can we call it that? It's definitely entertainment. I would say that the whole goal is really to, you know, and people are not watching for the fight. People are more watching to watch people embarrass themselves, which that's kind of what this is. Yeah, it's a bleep show.

Right. So, yeah, I guess that does kind of clearly say maybe Jake Paul, Mike Tyson, that kind of felt made the lowest of the low just because that was more of a stage. Like, at least they're going to actually throw punches in this fight.

But, you know, I think it's going to be the lowest of the low. Like, at least they're going to actually throw punches in this fight versus. But this is this is the father of one of the most famous athletes in America. Like, it ain't none of my business, but what is this makes me think, what is the relationship right now between Patrick Mahomes Sr. and his son? Like, do you think I find it real hard to believe that Patrick Mahomes said, you know what, dad, go ahead, take the fight, go ahead to do it? Like, I don't know. Like, why would you even entertain this unless you you need the money?

Like, what are you doing? And yeah, Patrick Mahomes, his money is his money. He doesn't have to give it to his dad. Obviously, his dad will all the DUIs, DWIs. He has a problem. He's been on probation. He probably still might be on probation. But I don't know.

This is actually very, very sad. I can't remember the last time I've seen John Rocker and every time I see my home senior. Unfortunately, it's a mugshot. And if you're Patrick Mahomes, I guess at this point you just shrug your shoulders and go, man, I don't know. He's going to get to minicamp. You'd be like, man, that's my dad's business.

I'm not talking about my personal life like Hickey. We this this might be the villain turn for Patrick Mahomes. He has generally been affable. He answers questions. If things have been, you know, private, he just says, I'm not talking about that as he has in his dad in the past. I wouldn't be upset if he just kind of shut the world out at this point. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what other honestly choice he has. Like, think about like we talked about, like this guy does everything by the book, like, again, even to the losing press conference of a Super Bowl in which he had three turnovers and they got blown out, like he's there taking every question, accepting responsibility, like doing the right thing.

And it's like to live in a world where you do everything right and the people closest to you feel like they're doing everything wrong to make your life as difficult as possible and sometimes as embarrassing as possible. Like, at what point do you just like maybe you're I mean, that's his answer. He just totally shuts down, doesn't I don't know. But like, I mean, he's such a public figure, right?

He's he's in the State Farm commercials. His wife is very expressive on social media. I believe I don't follow any of them, but I don't they share their kids? Don't they put their kids on online and stuff? Don't they do all of that? I don't follow I have seen pictures, I feel like, or yes, I think they do.

Yes, they're announcing a baby like I know they just had a kid. You know, every it's an each his own. I mean, if you're like, hey, I'm a celebrity, I might as well tell people my kid is he is going to be out anyway and knock yourself out. But, you know, people have a certain degree of what they can control. And I think most of us can relate to having a family member or two or three or maybe more than that.

And you just got to shake your head at their actions. Patrick Mahomes is one of the most famous people in the country. And the people closest to him that are famous are all into some you know what, like there's always something you know, his wife with her political choices, people have beaten her up over that and then asking him about he's like, man, leave me alone. Okay, his dad is like, can't get behind the wheel of a car without picking up a drink. He's just like, that's a personal matter.

His brother, his brother was accused of assault, grabbing a woman in a place where he's not supposed to and just. Patrick Mahomes is like, yo, can y'all get it together? Hickey, can we send him a drink? Can we? I was going to say, let's let's ask those criminals where he lives. But can can we send a drink to the practice facility or something? I don't know.

A few. I think he needs a few drinks. I want to give that guy a drink.

This sucks. He's a sympathetic figure. I know a lot of people hate him and are sick of the winning and the Chiefs. He doesn't do nothing. But he no, he doesn't at all. Mark, not at all.

If you're Patrick Mahomes, what do you do? Just tell everybody mind their business at this point, right? Yeah, I think you also have at some point, you got to sit down a lot of your family and be like, what the hell are you guys doing? Like, is it possible for you to go a couple of months without me hearing something that you screwed up with?

Is it that difficult? Just go live your life, man. I think he might have had that conversation. Probably look, he's smart enough not to say anything in public and he's not going to go into it and he's just going to deflect. And that that's my family.

It's not going to answer those questions. And he's smart because you can't go down that road because the only thing that's going to do is going to make you look worse because we're going to blast him. Yeah, you're right. My father's a mess. Like, what do you want me to tell you? Yeah, you're right.

My brother is a disaster. What do you want me to tell you? Like, you can't do that. You can't say you could think it. You could say it to your friends. You could say it when nobody's around.

You could say with no cameras, but you can't say that in public when you start checking off. You know, in DUIs, DWIs are terrible. You know, you don't just have the potential to screw up yourself. You have the potential to screw up other people's lives. But there's another box of goofy to check when your dad is now doing BS nonsense, garbage, slop, celebrity box.

And that's like another checkbox of embarrassment, man. I don't know. We may see Patrick Mahomes the next year. He may throw 60 touchdowns. That's what the NFL needs. Nobody can, I mean, the Eagles just embarrassed them, but nobody can get past the Chiefs. The Bills are probably looking around. Geez, that's what we need.

We need more incentive for Patrick Mahomes to light us up next year. Thanks. Appreciate it. Yeah. Thank his dad. Oh, John Rocker. Could you imagine John Rocker knocks his dad out? Oh my God.

I was really hoping that that wasn't real. I mean, he probably will. John Rocker's huge. But at some point, Rocker's got to be what, 50 something years old? Like at some point. He's going to pull a hammy.

Yeah, but that's what I mean. Like at some point, don't you look around and like look in the mirror and go, what the hell are you doing? You're an old man. What are you doing?

All the stuff that you did when you were 18, like stop. Well, Marco, are you shocked that he's, I think we learned about 25 years ago, he's an idiot. No, he's, I mean, beyond stupid.

I'm sorry. The guy did it himself. I'm not doing it.

Go look at his comments. Do you think, oh, you know, he's actually younger than a while. He's 50 years old.

That's what I'm saying. I thought he would have been older than that. He's only 50. And they're contemporaries. I mean, they played at the same time. They definitely played against each other. I don't think they ever played together. Yeah, my home's gotta be a little bit older than him. Has to be.

By a year or two, but not by much. Yeah, 54, 54 years old. What a world. Hey, Marco, let's do a fight, Marco, me and you.

I just, I can't fathom. Like at some point, like when you get older, like, oh, I'm going to fight this guy. You're 55. You're going to pull a hamstring getting out of the car. You, you could barely get out of bed this morning with the Charlie horse.

What are you doing? Marco? Some people, I think, you notice some people never learn. That's just what it is. Some people never learn.

And who's a Patrick, my home senior, his money line might be cut off. And I think it's understandable if it is. And then John rocker, who knows? Okay. Who knows? I can't even say I wish them both the best. I wish them both common sense. That's it.

And, and Goodwill. That's, there's nothing else I could, I could share. I'm sure I'll see the clips online, but I ain't, I'm not watching that crap.

Not at all. It's the JR sport reshow on the infinity sports network. When we come back, we'll wrap things up with a few things that took place this day in sports history. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport reshow here with you on the infinity sports network.

It is the end of the show. And we've talked about a lot top six list, some of the worst contracts in the world of sports right now, Deshaun Watson takes the cake. We looked into the reality of, of Travis Kelsey really retiring. I don't think so. I don't think he's going anywhere.

Kevin Duran, 30,000 points last night. I had mentioned by the way, Kadari is Tony, uh, here in Georgia, not too far from Atlanta. This guy was arrested last week for putting his hands on a woman. I think his career is over. Deshaun Elliott, Pittsburgh Steelers safety says he doesn't want Aaron Rogers, Anthony Rendon. He inspired the top six list. Uh, apparently he's going to be out and hurt for quite some time.

I think both he and Anthony Davis, they might have each other on, on speed dial. You showed love to Saquon Barkley. I'm happy for him, but I think teams, unless you're in a winning position, don't necessarily go jumping through the window for a running back.

If your team sucks, you wouldn't do what he did on the New York giants. We talked about Dan Hurley being a jerk. What else is new? Telling everybody about his two championships and then Matt Patricia. Congratulations to him. He can now torment the students in college or the student athletes, whatever the hell we call them today. Uh, he's now going to be coaching defense as coordinator for the Ohio state Una versity.

It's the end of the show. It's time for a few things that took place this day in sports history. 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.

Today is February 12th. The year is 2025, but if we go back to 1937, shout outs to Cleveland, you guys rock. You didn't get the Browns until about the forties, but Cleveland got its first NFL team. They got the Rams.

Yeah. The Rams were playing in Cleveland before they moved to Los Angeles in the forties. The Rams played in Cleveland for nine seasons. We know they went to Los Angeles and then they went to St. Louis and now they're back in LA.

A little bit of history. How about this day in sports history, February 12th, 2023, man, I keep telling you, I felt like the Super Bowl just keeps on getting later and later. On this day, two years ago, it's when the Chiefs first beat the Eagles 38 to 35 to win the Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes was magical that day.

I know. Not on Sunday. He got his ass whooped. But two years ago, he basically helped set up the game winning drive for Harrison Butler to kick a 27 yard field goal, eight seconds left on the clock. The Chiefs ultimately won 38 to 35.

Take a listen to this. Townsend will hold 11 seconds left in Super Bowl 57 35 35 tie. The kick is good and Kansas City leads 38 35 with eight seconds to go in regulation in Super Bowl 57.

And that was courtesy of the Chiefs radio network. Hickey, I got to ask you, what? Why didn't he sound excited?

He sound like he saw he was on punishment. I have no idea. I mean, there was eight seconds left after the kick.

So is it kind of one of those great? We're winning, but there's still I don't I don't know. I mean, it's a Super Bowl.

I don't know. I'm like, where's the juice? Where's the excitement? Anyway, and then they won again last year. You might remember that me call Hartman running in at the edges. And now this year they lost. So for everybody that wanted to see the Kansas City Chiefs suffer, there you have it. They got the ass whoop this year.

And Patrick Mahomes is getting embarrassed by his dad, who's gonna fight John Rocker in a I don't even know what to call it, man. No idea. None. Just a nonsense fight.

That's pretty much what it is. Anyway, Nicky is a fun show, man. We didn't fight. Nobody here got in trouble.

We didn't fight. So I'm happy with that. I'm cool. I agree. Yeah.

There's a lot of fun talking about other people fighting that I like. And then what's going on? We're getting closer to the NBA All-Star. Is it the break or the game? Whatever the hell they're calling it. Both. Garbage, right?

NBA All-Star. Vacation for most. Yeah, these guys are vacation for most.

So, yeah, we're getting closer to that. The Philadelphia Eagles are going to have their parade on Friday. I hope everybody in Philadelphia is safe come Friday.

I have no idea what that's going to look like. And so we got a lot to get into as we approach the weekend. We will be back tomorrow at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. If you've missed a minute or a second of today's show, you can always go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. You can find me online at JR Sport Brief. Nicky, where can they find you? Ryan underscore Hickey three on Twitter. And tomorrow, hopefully Cam Newton doesn't diss another teammate. And hopefully you'll be back with us.

6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. The JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network is done. It's over.

It's a wrap. Please be safe. Be well. Be cool. Be smooth. Bart Winkler is coming up next. Thank you for listening. Thank you to Ryan Hickey. Be well, folks.
