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 for tuning in and being locked in all over North America. Whether you're at work, at home, on the roads, the highways, the byways, maybe you are on a submarine. Shout out to Joe Cardona. We had a US Naval officer on the show yesterday and not only as a US Naval officer, this man plays for the Patriots. Thank you Joe for coming on through. Probably protecting our asses right now.
Shout outs to all of our service men and women. This show gets started. The JR Sport Brief show gets started at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific every weekday. That means Monday through Friday. You missed a minute of today's show?
Hit rewind on the Free Odyssey app. We had a conversation with Dr. David Chow to talk about the season ending injury to Victor Winbenyama. He had a blood clot in his arm. He's out for the year.
Dr. David Chow, he's optimistic that there will be a positive outcome in a return for Victor Winbenyama, hopefully sooner than later. We had a great chat with Liam McHugh from the NHL on TNT. We got Team USA. We got Team Canada.
It is the four nation final. It's going down in Boston, Massachusetts in about 20 minutes. We'll keep you up to date with everything going on in that game. Thank you again to Liam for joining us.
And we have so much more to do here over the next two hours. Thank you for listening live on the Free Odyssey app. Thank you if you're listening live on Sirius XM375. Thank you if you are listening live on a smart speaker.
Well, all you have to do is ask it to play the Infinity Sports Network. Right before we went to break, we talked about the University of Texas, that beautiful city down in Austin, Texas. Everything is beautiful, I think, except for Sixth Street. Have a few memories on Sixth Street. Not a lot. Not a lot. I mind my business.
I stay in my hotel room. I find my... Hickey, I think I told you my story about running into Vince Young out there, right? Yes, he knows the area quite well from what I've heard. He knows how to find the things in Austin, Texas. He does the things. The things, that's what they call them, the things.
Yeah, them. Yeah, he knows where to have a good time. Shoutouts to Vince Young. I don't know what he's doing. Hickey, maybe he's getting ready to, he's probably having dinner, getting ready to go see the things. I wouldn't be surprised if he was at the basketball game tonight. I hope he would be, from one legend to another.
Yeah, I'm trying to think. He would, would he have been there at the same time? I feel like they were in the same era. I think they just, so Texas, his last year, right, that national talent game was 05.
Right. Yeah, Durant came after. He was what, 06? Was it like 06, 07? Yeah, so Kevin Durant played at Texas from the 06 to 07 season. Vince Young left in 06. He was drafted in 2006. So he actually, yeah, he played there from 2002 to 2005. And so by the time he finished up, it was, wait, wait, that would be the intersection.
Wait. No, I'm assuming Vince Young graduated in May. The year after, yeah. And then KD got there in the summertime. Durant came right after, yeah, so they just missed each other.
Ships crossing in the night. Yep, yep. He was playing his rookie, he was playing his rookie year for the Titans when Kevin Durant just got started at Texas. Could you imagine though, if that actually, like the star power, if it just happened where KD was born one year earlier and they were on the campus at the same time? It would have a, wouldn't that have like a Colorado-esque type of feel in regards to celebrity?
No. Yeah, no, you're right. And obviously the benefit of hindsight feel like even greater, but you're right. And this is, this is, I don't want to say pre, but 2006 is, we don't have like, I'm trying to remember, I got to relate things to when I was in high school and college, but social media wasn't what it is. Like it was really, I don't, MySpace and I don't even think Facebook was widely distributed at this time. I think Facebook might've still been maybe in its infancy and maybe just for a few colleges.
It's crazy to think that the business model was to start with colleges and then kind of spread out to the world. And now Facebook is for, it's for everybody. Hickey, Facebook is for everybody. For everybody. Used mostly by those that are a little bit older. I said a little bit and mostly.
You got to see pictures of the grandkids. That's, that's, uh, you mean share your political beliefs and a long rent and you type in and says, how are you doing? Well, I'm glad you asked. Oh my God.
Cause these weeds and my neighbor has, are pissing me off. You mean to tell me that that high school is aren't jumping head over heels to be on Facebook? I don't think so. Okay. I think they're posting their own videos over on the Tik TOK. Uh huh.
Okay. And probably whatever else new is out there. What a world we live in, right? We've seen the, the exchange of social media, which begs the question, and I understand Metta is involved in a whole and Hickey now we're going off on a tangent. I understand Metta owns a lot of other things. They own Instagram, which I think also skews a little bit older, obviously older than Tik TOK. What are they going to do? Like when the time comes, they just going to snatch up. They're going to buy another young person's app because what happens when you know, people on Facebook are just real old and then eventually people stop signing up. They have to have already reached critical mass.
And I know they have messaging apps and WhatsApp and I G and what is Metta going to do? Say we're going to buy a Tik TOK. I don't know, man. I mean, at what point do you go back to where it started, right? Everything is cyclical history repeats itself. Do you go back to a different form of Facebook where now everything is short, short, short, right?
Like whether it's videos, whether it's tweets under 280 characters and the less, the better. At what point we're going to be like, now you want more. That's where the app is going to be. I don't know. You talk about somebody's grandparents using Facebook, but what about when their kids don't want to bother using it? I don't know. That's where the new Facebook comes in, whatever that may be. Now you can post longer. I don't know. Hold on. Let me go to myspace.com. Let's see what's there.
Buy that backup could come back. Oh, look, uh, Idris Elba. Okay.
Idris Elba is moving back to Africa. Okay. All right. There's something about venom.
Dolly Parton. I don't know what this is on myspace. I know myspace became a music page.
Um, I was going to say it's not up and running and still, well, it works. I think it's on by Viacom. I believe.
Well, if you can buy that up now for a small price, that can be worth a lot in about 30 years apart. Wait, a part of the people slash entertainment weekly network. I don't even know what that is. That people, people like the magazine. I don't know. I mean, that makes sense.
Magazine business. Yeah. Let's buy a myspace. It makes sense. Yeah. I know Fox at one point bought myspace. So, uh, did they? Wow.
Yeah, they did. And quickly sold that or the world. Where's Tom at? I don't know where that guy is.
Yeah. Tom for myspace. One of those guys on the show, maybe one day, what are you still doing using myspace? I don't know.
I ask a lot of questions. What a world look at this. We talk about Vince, not Vince Carter. Oh my God. Vince young in Kevin Duran at Texas.
It makes me think of myspace. That's how long ago it was 20 damn years. And we heard Kevin Durant right before we went to break. Happy to be back playing at the university at Texas. It's a one-off type thing for the San Antonio Spurs.
No one Benyama obviously with this, uh, uh, blood clot in his arm. Now he's out for the season and that's not the only bit of Texas news that we got today. Let's see what if Durant goes out there and puts on a show where he played about 20 years ago. Crazy to think he's still in the NBA. One of the top scorers in the NBA. Then 20 years ago he was in college.
What a world we live in. But earlier today we heard from the football coach at the university at Texas. We heard from Steve Sarkeesian and as he sat down, he had some words about spring football. We know the season didn't end the way that they wanted to at Texas.
Okay. They lost to the Ohio state university, which ultimately won the championship and SARC was given a little bit of an insight as to what we might see this spring. And one thing that it will not include is a spring game.
This is what SARC told up in Adams. Over the last two years, we played 30 games and that's a lot for college football. 14 two years ago, 16 this year. And I just mentioned, we've had 25 guys get invited to the NFL combine the last two years. So we've got a lot of young players on our roster.
We have 21 mid-year high school kids that just showed up. And so the development that's needed for these guys to get ready for the fall is a little bit different than it used to be. And so our approach is going to be a little bit more NFL driven, kind of more of an OTA style early on. And as we grow into more of the scrimmage formats in the second half of spring ball, that I just don't know rolling the ball out, playing the game. And when we only get 15 practices is the best for us to maximize the opportunities that we get. So it's going to be a little bit of different approach, but I think college football is changing right now and we need to do a great job as coaches of adapting to college football. Well, I mean, everybody has said that, right? Like the college football is ever-changing.
The transfer portal every day. I feel like every other week we get the news that the SEC and the Big Ten are trying to figure out how they can slot more of their own teams into the playoff and expand it. Things are always changing, but this is not a shock. I mean, he could talk about development of players and less practice.
He could do all of that that he wants. We had Matt Ruhl who came out a couple of weeks ago, three weeks, and he talked about Nebraska not having a spring game this year. And his reasoning sounded a little different. Last year, we were one of the more televised spring games and I dealt with a lot of people offering our players a lot of opportunities after that. So to go out and bring in a bunch of new players and then showcase them for all the other schools to watch, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
The word tampering doesn't exist anymore. It's just absolute, free, open, common market. And so I don't necessarily want to open up to the outside world. I don't want these guys being able to watch our guys and say, wow, he looks like a pretty good player.
Let's go get him. Yeah. Like that sounds a whole hell of a lot more reasonable than sitting around talking about, well, we don't get as much practice time. We need practice time. So instead of practice, time, I'm not doing the scrimmage. I'm not doing the spring game. Why do I need to entertain the fans? I just need to get my guys ready.
That seems a whole hell of a lot more practical. I don't want my team to get pilfered. Why am I putting on the world's greatest show? Why am I putting on this expo for people to sit down and watch and just go, oh, look at that guy. Oh, they're not going to play him. They're hiding him in the weeds.
I'm going to come get him now. Does this suck for the fans? Yeah, it does.
It does. You got to wait a few more months. You got to wait until the end of August, beginning of September, before you really get some college football action. And let's be real. If you're going to the spring game, oh, yeah, it's nice.
It's great. But if you're a student, are you all that invested? Are you, you're really out there just looking for a reason to park yourself in college football? Are you really out there just looking for a reason to party? OK, but if you're the school, if you're the coach, I agree with Matt Ruhl.
Why do I want to display my players, my talent for somebody else just to pluck out of the portal at the next chance and the opportunity? Let me run these guys into my program first. Hickey, man, USC is not even doing or having a game.
I mean, James Franklin, how do you feel about him? He's going to go through with the game. Are you going to go? I am not going to go, but I think it's a I think it's a disservice to the fans by canceling the game just because like it's more I always viewed the spring game as like a thank you to the fans. It's a party.
No, right. Essentially, it's a party. Most of them are free, if not, the tickets are super cheap. So it's like an opportunity to go to a game if you normally aren't able to. It's an opportunity then, nonetheless, just like you said, get kind of some football back in your life, have a tailgate in the middle of April and kind of get closer to football and usually write some schools will let you on the field after the game.
Maybe there's an autograph session with players before it like there is usually some sort of like community event where like the access you get is closer than you'll ever get towards the team any time in the fall. So I was just viewed as like, OK, the game, the game, whatever. No one cares about the game. I don't like if you want to still have an event and maybe some of these schools will. But I think it's a I think it sucks for the fans that this whole weekend is canceled just because coaches really just don't want to go through it anymore. I think it sucks. Having college football fans ended up with the short end of the stick in a general sense anyway.
No, you know. Well, in what sense? When you think about the the conference realignments and teams jump in a different conference, like everything, everything. And this is it's become such a business that everything is is about money. Now, I would always argue the fact that college athletes should have gotten paid years ago for what they provided and what they did for the game.
But the structure surrounding it and how it was implemented basically made it the Wild Wild West. And so if you think about rivalries, you have rivalries that that no longer take place or don't matter. We got teams that are playing cross country that that have no real nothing tying them together outside of, well, we're tied together because of television rights. So this is why we play. Why do I got Los Angeles teams going out to New Jersey, New York? There's there's no reason it serves no purpose. It's not even fair to the players.
So how can I say this? I don't want to say the heartbeat or actually the fabric of what college football was outside of financial. It's just changed so much.
It's just it's very sanitized. How can we squeeze as much money out of this as possible as opposed of thinking about our regions and our rivals and our schools? All of that has gone out the window.
And so to say now that, hey, there's no spring game, that kind of falls in line with everything else. Hey, it ain't doing me no good. So I'm not going to do it. Who gives a damn about the fans? Who cares about the players?
Let's just take everybody's money and keep it moving. It's it's more corporate. I guess there's a better way to put it.
It is. And that like that sucks. Like, I think like I would like some some schools may benefited from the movement like versus others, whatever. But overall, things have gone, you know, tickets are more expensive, travels more expensive now, more playoff games. If you want to go to multiple games, it's a lot more expensive. So everything is going up like this was always viewed as like a thank you to the fans or the closest to it. And to now have these spring games seemingly go away. I just think, again, it's just another thing where, yeah, I think it makes it like it just makes growing the game as maybe dumb as you think that sounds for a spring game. I think it makes growing the game of college football a little bit more difficult now. Listen, but here's the deal.
Correct me if I'm wrong. As long as people are showing up and paying money to get an education. As long as people go to school. They're going to have an audience, you have all of the alums already, you have all the people who just love football already, and then you have a pipeline of people who show up and put their money on the line to go to a school like the pipeline is there. It's just less where the people going, it's still going to show up. It doesn't matter how much you change things.
No, you're right. And I mean, look, I hope college football is okay. And I think it will be going forward, like you said, because that connection is never going to go anywhere just by the fact that the schools are still open. But also like, again, if you want people to fall in love with your sport outside of just the alums of the school and the students that go there, make it easier to do. And I feel like right now with all the movement going on, there's just pure chaos. And now again, like in this instance with spring games going away, I just think college football is making it more difficult for itself to bring fans in.
Yeah, it is. Well, we know we live in a world, especially in sports of if you do it, then I'm going to do it and I'll catch less heat for it. And so when we when we got USCs and Nebraska's and Texas, when they're going like, man, we ain't doing no spring game.
We're going to have we're going to have other schools that are just going to continue to follow suit. It sucks. I get it. It's just a massive party. Hickey says it's a celebration. We're going to have more teams that are just going to decline for whatever reasons that they decide to share and disclose publicly. It's the JR Sport Reshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We are minutes away from the puck dropping Team USA versus Team Canada. Four nation final. We'll see what happens on the other side of the break. Speaking of moving and going somewhere and things changing, it doesn't appear that the Cleveland Browns are changing their minds about Miles Garrett and still referring to a a college player. There's a college player. Well, he had some changes, too.
He had some things taken away from him. I'll explain on the other side of the break is the JR Sport Reshow coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief. It is the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We're minutes away from the puck dropping in Boston, Team USA, Team Canada. Who's going to win the four nations final? We'll keep you up to date as things start and continue on. And before you went to break, we talked about things on the the college side, college football and college basketball.
Kevin Durant back at Texas tonight playing against the Spurs with the Suns and Sark in Texas no longer having a spring game. Yeah, we we we we talked about all of that. And I told you, there's a couple of guys that that may not have to deal with some changes. I'll get to that in a second. But while we were in the break. They played the national anthem for both Team USA and Canada up in Boston. You know, we discussed this earlier in the show last week or last weekend, I should say, up in Canada, the United States anthem. It was booed. OK, they booed. The Canadians booed the anthem. And tonight there was a wonder whether or not, you know, everybody in Boston would do the same thing. Where are we going to boo the Canadian national anthem? Well, it appears that we have an answer, because before the puck drop during all Canada on ESPN, it it sounded like this. Oh, Canada.
No, sorry. True patriot love that only us command. OK, I think he could have been worse, right? That was could we call that mild booing?
I guess when when Liam McHugh was on, I agreed with him. I thought to be like a smattering of boos. OK, maybe one guy or a small group is pretty loud and hear them booing. But the singing overtakes it. And again, most of the arena being quiet or enjoying it, if you're Canadian, kind of drowns it out. Yeah, that sounded I mean. It sounded pretty loud.
And universal. They're pushing and shoving. They're pushing and shoving already. No fights, no fights.
They're pushing and shoving. Thirty seconds in a record. Yeah. How about that? It could have been worse. Yeah, no, no. I agree. It definitely could have been worse. I guess I didn't really expect. I didn't expect booing much, so this is more than I anticipated. Ah, OK. Yeah, I think we've heard athletes.
How about this? Reggie Miller, just a couple months ago, maybe last year, he's back in Madison Square Garden. He's like, I own the Knicks. He said this on the TV broadcast.
Reggie Miller is not playing, but he's broadcasting. And you it's not a boo, but they resoundingly chant that he sucks like it was louder than that. So I mean, if Reggie Miller could get booed louder in Madison Square Garden, like booing the Canadian national anthem, that was tame in in comparison, I think. That's fair. Yes. Yes, that's fair. And you know what?
If there was an option or choice, I would always hope that Reggie Miller got booed louder. So. No problem there. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Obviously, this this final is going to go past our time here on the air, but we will keep you up to date with everything going on as Team USA takes on Canada and what's just been a success here for the NHL. Before we went to break, we talked about all these changes going on in college football, from the conferences to the rivalries to the spring games. Earlier today, we learned that there shouldn't be an expected change for an NFL superstar. And that superstar's name is Miles Garrett. We learned the week before the Super Bowl that Miles Garrett, well, we didn't learn. He publicly requested a trade from the Cleveland Browns. He basically said, y'all ain't going anywhere.
I'm in a problem in my career. I'm trying to win the Super Bowl. I'm not trying to sit here and be a loser. He doesn't want to be the defensive version of Joe Thomas.
I'm sorry. Joe Thomas played forever for the Cleveland Browns. One of the best offensive linemen we've seen. And what did he get for it?
A whole lot of nothing. Miles Garrett doesn't want that. He requested a trade. The Cleveland Browns, before he requested it, after he requested it, they basically said, no, we're not going to move you. The Cleveland Browns, I guess they feel confident that they can get a quarterback in at number two overall, probably Cam Ward, and that they can retain Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett has two years left on his contract. He signed a five-year contract extension back in 2020, readjustment of money.
In essence, it's time to pay up. This guy's looking for money and he doesn't want it from the Browns who, once again, suck. They went three and 14 last year.
And most certainly you can blame Deshaun Watson for doing his part as to why they are trash. But according to Diana Rossini this week, she said that Cleveland has not changed their mind on moving Miles Garrett. I think this is a waste of time right now.
It's February. I think if you really and legitimately want to have a conversation about moving Miles Garrett, it's not today. It's as we get closer to the NFL draft.
As simple as that. A lot of this is smoke and mirrors. This is no different than, you know, what's going on with Aaron Rodgers. Like, there's nothing to be done today.
I know the league year starts on March 12th. Everybody's going to say a lot of nothing. People are going to try to keep things status quo. Nobody's making a move in February. Nobody's making a move next week. I still think Miles Garrett will be traded from the Cleveland Browns.
Why not? You think he's going to get moved? You believe the Browns that they're not going to move them. Oh, he's definitely getting moved. They can say they're not moving them now because it doesn't matter. Like you said, it's February.
The league year doesn't start for another month. There's no there's no there's no downside right now of them saying we're holding on to Miles Garrett. All they're doing is essentially trying to drive up any offer from any of their team anyway. When it's all he's getting traded, there's no doubt about it. So probably in there, would you argue to the Browns best interest to trade him? Get the picks, right?
Like you got to restart and rebuild. So, I mean, if you're already selected at number two overall, can't you add in additional draft capital at a cheaper price? We get it. We understand Miles Garrett is someone who is on a Hall of Fame trajectory, but you're going to have to keep paying him and paying him and paying him. And yet what are the odds that you go ahead and can, you know, pick up another defensive player of the year?
I mean, it depends on on who wants him and what you get in return. Let's think about it. What are the type of teams that would bring him on? Teams that are already competing? You think about some of the names and some of the teams like the Washington commanders.
You think about their recent success. They need another pass rusher, but are they going to go forth and just give up a number one pick to kind of get over the edge? I guess if you're the commanders, it'd be worth it.
But for the Browns, like you're picking a pass rusher later on in the first round, is it worth it for them? For the commander, I mean, probably not, but is it a first? Is it two firsts? Is it a first and a second? Is it a first and a player?
That's also two. Sure. I mean, a lot of the teams, right, that are going to be on a short list of teams and make sense of trade to get Miles Garrett, the Bills, the Commanders, the Eagles, right? All teams picking 25 and later. The first round pick may not be great, but also still it's a first round pick. If you hit on it, you can get two players in this draft in the first round.
And again, you maybe get a few extra picks down the line as well that could help build to the future. Yeah. You know, I guess if you're the Browns and you suck, keeping Miles Garrett around is nothing but vanity, right?
That's it. What's the expectation? Miles Garrett is 29 years old right now. And so if you legitimately have a realistic chance of competing for a Super Bowl, best case is what, two, three years from now. So now Miles Garrett is making more money. Now he's 32 and there's no guarantee of it.
I don't I don't know, right? That's it. The window for him and his peak to win a Super Bowl in Cleveland has expired.
Yeah, you move him. Yeah, the Browns screwed up, man. They didn't want to let Baker Mayfield throw the ball when they had him. And I get it. They didn't have Godwin out there to go along with. Oh, man, throwing a brain fart. Evans, you had Landry and you had was would you say Jarvis Landry was his best wide receiver while he was there?
We know his Odell and his dad hated him. Well, I'm trying to think, is there anyone else from Missings? I don't I think it is. Yeah. Wow. I don't know. Maybe if they had Mike Evans, they'd be better, too.
I mean, a thousand yards and 10 touchdowns guaranteed every year, even when he rips the hamstring off the bone. Well, it looks like the Band-Aid has been ripped off here at Team USA in Canada. It's pretty sad. You know what? Let's take a break. It's the James sport we show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We come back.
I want to go down to Florida because there's some wild things going down in the whole state. Major League Baseball is testing something out. There's a New York Yankee that got a contract extension. Yankee fans hate him. And then there's a football player in college.
Let's just say he may want to leave Florida. I'll explain on the other side. It's the J.R. sport we show here with you coast to coast. You're listening to the J.R. sport brief. It is the J.R. sport we show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.
You just heard it. Four nation final between Team USA and Canada. Team Canada already leads the United States one to nothing. Well, we're going to see how it goes. I guess all that booing of the Canadian national anthem has had no effect on Team Canada.
Not that you would expect it to. But I do want to take a trip from Boston, Massachusetts where the game is taking place. I want to go down to Florida because there's always interesting things going on in Florida. Everybody knows the running joke about a Florida man. Florida man, I don't know, fights alligator. Florida man gets arrested. Florida man this. Hickey, what's the craziest Florida man thing that you've ever seen?
Does it stand out or there's just too many? Oh, wow. Oh, that's a great question. I wish I was prepared because I'm not going to have an answer right now. But there are a million things I feel like I've read where a Florida man does something and you're like, that's impossible.
And that happens. Florida man. Well, we got we got two cases of two Florida men. One is a good thing and one is a bad thing.
Hickey, which which which one do you want to go for first? The good or the bad for the Florida man? Let's go bad first and end on a good note. Oh, I think both of these might be bad depending on how you feel.
But this one is certainly bad. There is a reformed Georgia man who became a Florida man that was I can't even say he was robbed. Let's just take a listen to this Florida man. WPLG Local 10 News down in Miami and you'll hear who the new Florida man is. Well, Miami Hurricanes new quarterback Carson Beck has become the latest athlete targeted by thieves, and we've learned three luxury cars were stolen at his home. Local 10's crime specialist Bridget Matter is alive in South Miami with the details.
Bridget. So Miami-Dade police, they are telling us in the last hour, they are actively working this. These two officers have just pulled up to the home in the last few hours and they are at Carson Beck's home. Police also confirm that to us that this is the residence of Carson Beck. So we're going to confirm that to us that this is the residence of Carson Beck. They tell us three vehicles were stolen, including a Land Rover, which has been recovered near this home, a Mercedes and a Lamborghini. You mean it's on me Carson Beck isn't sleeping in a dorm, huh?
I am shocked to hear that him being a multimillionaire, his girlfriend being a multimillionaire are not staying on campus. I can't believe it. Oh my God. And they're not driving, I don't know, Toyota Camry. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like a Toyota Camry from like 1995.
This is driving Lamborghinis? Shocked. Wow. That's why Carson Beck isn't going to the NFL, huh? Too much money in college. What a world. This guy just transferred over from Georgia.
Couldn't play because he needed surgery on his elbow before he even throws a football for the Hurricanes. This guy goes down to Miami and both him and his girlfriend, who is a famous twin, Cavender, right? Hickey Cavender twins. Is that what it is?
You know it. And one of them quit basketball. Are they both playing or they just made so much money they don't give a damn anymore? I have no idea, to be honest. I don't know. I think they're both, I don't know. I know one, I know one, one, one quit and then the other one said, I'll come back and join.
I can't keep up with twins, man. I don't know. I don't know. I just don't know what's going on. Yeah. Just, just whatever. Good for them.
They live their life. Carson Beck doesn't even throw a pass for the Hurricanes and he gets robbed. And I hope this isn't a sign of things to come because him, he should have stayed at, I don't know.
He followed the money. Hickey, what are they paying him? Is it four or five? Four, maybe more.
Oh my God. But at least four. And we know when he gets to the NFL, how long, how long is his career in the NFL? Three years back up, four years back up?
Yeah, I'll go three years. Probably like, I think he'll be around, I feel like backup quarterbacks. I mean, he has a good arm, not much talent behind it, but he has a good arm.
Those will keep him around. He throws a football to the wrong team all the time now. Yeah, but in practice as a scout team, people always talk about, you know, the potential.
What does this guy have? He's got potential, you know, that team couldn't figure him out, but we can do it. Well, let's just say he's probably making more, he will probably make more money right now than he will in any given year in the NFL. And so Carson Beck, I don't know if this is good or bad, starts his tenure as a Miami hurricane. Let's also say it's highly unlikely he comes anywhere close to what Cam Ward did last year. It's a tough act to follow. Come on. This guy was a Heisman candidate, Carson Beck, Heisman candidate only on, on paper before the season.
Even reading that at times was comical. So we heard about the criminals that have been robbing professional athletes all over the country. We had seven guys from Chile. They were arrested.
And I mean, these idiots were taking photos of the chains that they stole. So hopefully things work out perfectly fine for Carson Beck. Not a great start for him down in Miami. So that's the good news, Hickey. Wait, no, no, that's not good news.
I was about to say, hold on. That can't be good news because the cars have not been recovered yet. Yeah, that's bad news all around for Carson Beck. Now let's go to another Florida man. He's like a lot of people. He spends his winters in Florida. He spends his summers up in New York, part-time Florida man, Aaron Boone.
Congratulations to him. The New York Yankees have looked at Aaron Boone and they've said, Hey, you're getting a two year contract extension for every New York Yankees fan that wanted to give Aaron Boone of the boot. He's going to be the Yankees manager or will at least get paid for the next two years until 2027. Aaron Boone has made the playoffs in six of his seven seasons. You might recall outside of his time playing for the Reds and for the Yankees. This is someone who was in the broadcast booth for ESPN before the Yankees hired him. He is a baseball lifer. We've had his brother Brett here on the show. His brother Brett has always told him, man, don't pay attention to the media.
I know you are part of it. Let's listen to Aaron Boone react to his new contract extension. He's happy. Thrilled. I'm just excited. We were able to kind of knock it out and get it out of the way. You know, as I've said to you guys before, no other place I want to be, no other team, organization, group of people that I want to be doing this with and and to get to do it in New York in front of passionate New York Yankee fans.
You know, this is this is the end result that I certainly wanted and I'm glad I was able to work out. Oh, man. A lot of Yankee fans. I don't even think it's Aaron Boone's fault.
All right. If we got to think about this past postseason, I know you can look at some of his decisions and pitching and Nestor Cortez. But as an overall, I feel it's the players.
I think it's some of the talent that Brian Cashman has put out there on the field. The Yankees are going to win 90 plus games, it feels like every year. But more recently, they haven't had the pitching. And then you got Judge who's like, hey, I'm MVP in a regular season. And then he sucks in the postseason. That's that's not Aaron Boone's fault. And so a lot of Yankee fans will be mad at Aaron Boone. I don't think they haven't won a championship because of him. Give him a break. The general manager of the team, Brian Cashman, pretty much said, if we let Aaron Boone go, there'd be a bunch of other teams ready to snatch him up.
Now, I don't know how true that is. But I mean, hey, you work for the Yankees, he'd get another shot, another chance. The New York Yankees are operating opposite from the Dallas Cowboys. New York Yankees aren't letting their head coach, they're not letting their manager just kind of twist in the wind. They're doing what normal organizations do. They're giving him an extension so at least he can go to work and feel comfortable.
Piggy, what are your thoughts? I got no beef or problem with this. What are they going to do? They didn't they didn't fire him. So, like, you might as well keep him around forever.
The extension's fine. I think Boone's a fine manager. I don't think he's one of the best. I also don't think he makes many decisions. Like, I think he honestly is a glorified yes man.
The Yankees want someone who takes orders from the front office, who has the lineup dictated to him by the analytics department and has, you know, the pitching changes pre-planned, pre-meditated. So he executes what they say for them. Like, I don't, I can't really point to situations where he's the one tinkering with the lineup or making moves. You saying he has no balls, he just shows up to work, huh? I think that you, you said it. Yeah, he's got no balls.
That's it. He just listens to what the higher ups say. I think Dave Roberts is the same way. I don't think Dave Roberts is a great manager. He just has great talent and one of the best front offices. I could, I could manage that team, bro.
You absolutely could. Hey, Otani, you need me to get you some water? And Freddie Freeman, you tired? You good? You know, hey, Otani, how do you guys want to order yourselves?
One, two, three. Tell me. I don't know. Easy. Hey, Clayton, you still here? You are?
You're good? Yeah. I don't know. I think that, and I could be wrong. I think that's a little bit of a misnomer. I think that Aaron Boone has a little bit more say so than people would get him credit for. I think, look, the Yankees hired him because they, they figured and thought it'd be collaborative. I still think he has a little bit more juice. It's the JR Sport Reshow here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Hey, we got more to get into on the other side. This day in sports history, Bill Belichick dissing the Jets again, so don't go anywhere. The JR Sport Reshow, Infinity Sports Network.
