It is the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network.

I am JR. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody for tuning in being locked in wherever you might be anywhere across North America. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. Our super producer and host Ryan Hickey is in New York City.

Thank you for being here. This show gets started every weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific, and we've had a chance to talk about the NFL Combine. We talked about Matthew Stafford, where he's going, where he's not going. We talked about Aaron Rodgers.

He gave some thoughts about his future, says he wants to play somewhere where he is wanted. And that also happens to be a good team. What a shock. What a shock.

The Bengals shocking absolutely nobody by still being one of the cheapest teams in the NFL. That's according to the NFL Players Association survey. That survey also said Jets players, they found their owner, Woody Johnson, to be the worst in the entire NFL. They gave him an F. No other owner received an F. Man, and we got so much more to do here this hour.

Of course, it's Wednesday. I just gave you a new top six list. We took a look at some of the absolute worst owners in sports right now.

I gave you that top six list a few minutes ago. And of course, at the end of the show, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. And then, you know, we got an owner who's actually doing a good thing.

Yeah, we got an we got an ownership group who did a good thing. I can't wait to share that with you. And as I sit here in the studio, this is ironic. Watching the New York Knicks in Philadelphia, whoopty freakin do no Joel Embiid. What else is new? Paul George is here. Paul George had an announcement about his podcast. And we'll share that with you in a little while as well. We found an athlete who said, you know what, maybe during the regular season, maybe I need to focus on my job and not, you know, being a media star. Wow, what a world. Someone not not itching to be famous. Anyway, 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. It is Wednesday. I just gave you a new top six list. And today, inspired by the NFL Players Association survey, I'm pretty much told everybody today's top six list wasn't just going to be about terrible NFL, excuse me, a lot of T's and terrible things. Terrible NFL owners. We're looking at some of the worst owners in all of sports. And number six, hey, I'm watching this team right now.

It's James Dolan in the New York Knicks. And number five, I gave you Jimmy Haslam of the Browns. And number five, I gave you Jimmy Haslam of the Browns. And number four, I gave you Artie Moreno. Artie Moreno owns the Angels. And number three, I gave you Jerry Jones. Might be a great businessman, terrible sports owner. Number two, I gave you Woody Johnson. And at number one, I gave you the A's, the athletics. What city, what state, whatever the hell they represent, I have no idea.

Nothing. They're nomadic. They're going to be spending this upcoming season in Sacramento. It's a damn shame that they're no longer in Oakland.

And I guess eventually in three years or so, they're going to be setting up shop in Las Vegas. It's bad, bad, bad all the way around. You know, right when they were finishing things up in Oakland, ABC 10 spoke to fans and pretty much asked, how do you feel about the A's leaving? How do you feel about this, this this billionaire that inherited this money from his family, John Fisher? He's the worst owner in sports. Listen to how the fans feel about him out in the Bay. Well, tonight at the Oakland Coliseum was unlike anything I've ever seen before.

It was called the reverse boycott. And basically it's A's fans saying they're sick and tired of how the ownership has been running the team. Tonight, they had a message and best believe it was heard. The attendance started dropping a couple of years ago, probably about right after COVID when they doubled the prices, they tripled the parking.

They took away a lot of the fan perks. We still care. We want to come to games, but they got to put a quality product on the field and the ownership has to show that they care.

Would you keep going to a restaurant that's serving you crap food? I mean, you know, give us a good team. Give us a good product. Even not even a good team. We've been here through the bad times.

We've been here through the good times. Yeah. Give us a competitive team.

But no, he tried to rip the team away. That's it. A lot of bad owners all over sports.

You have an idea on the turbo owner? Call me eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. We have more than six terrible owners. Let's go ahead and talk to Lee from Cincinnati. You're on the JR sport show. Lee, what's up? Hey, Jr. Thanks for taking my call.

And all I have to say is you're absolutely correct. Fisher is the worst owner that there is in sports known to mankind. Just not because the fact that he wants to move the A's. I mean, if you want to move the A's, OK, move them somewhere to where they were.

They'll be appreciated. OK, why not Oklahoma City? I look at that because they started in Philadelphia, went to Kansas City and now they're in Oakland.

All right. And everybody still appreciates them in Oakland. But I think if they go to Oklahoma City, that's much better than Las Vegas.

He's just looking for the lowest rent that he can and trying to find all the money that he can. And look at the great teams that the A's used to have. My goodness, you know, there's sevens under Dick Williams and then Tony La Russa. And they have been that great since then because ownership hasn't wanted to pay for the players, which you have to do in any sport.

So I don't know. I just my opinion, I think they need to if they want to move, they should move to Oklahoma City, not Las Vegas, not Sacramento, not anywhere else. Little too late in the game. And thank you, Lee, for calling from Cincinnati. Yeah, for me, for all of that, just stay in Oakland.

We don't move to Oklahoma City. I mean, it's all business. That's what everything is about. It's about making money. Look, I don't fault any team, any league, anything for saying I need a team in Vegas. There's money there. It is and legalized sports betting.

There's less of a stigma about showing up. We have the Aces. We have the Knights. We got the Raiders. We're going to have an NBA team. Look, they're going to move to Vegas unless there's a massive change or a massive disaster. If you're John Fisher, I can't fault anybody for following the money. That's what business people do. Period.

No matter who you are. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Rob is calling from Connecticut. You're on the JR Sportbreeze. Show us up, Rob.

What's going on, JR? Thank you very much. I appreciate your show tonight. It's been hilarious. And my fiancé definitely loves listening to you as well.

She says you're the most entertaining. So I know this is going way, way back, way before we were born. But as a Red Sox fan, 107 years ago, Harry Prezzese sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees for $125,000 to produce a play or finance a play, which started the Curse of the Dambino. And I think that is the worst owner ever back then. Well, he needed money, so he sold him. I mean, yeah, but look what happened. Look what happened.

He died and then he had to die for them to win more championships. Yeah, I saw. Yeah, exactly. But I mean, you know, for me, that was the worst thing ever. You know, you don't remember that, do you? You said no, right?

You weren't allowed. Well, I learned of it as time passed on, you know, as I got older as a Red Sox fan. And when I found out about that, that we could have had Babe Ruth all that time. But he sold him for a play, to produce a play, to finance a play, for $125,000. And look what Babe Ruth did with the New York Yankees.

Well, I'm just- But that's okay, because 2004 was a beautiful, beautiful time for the Boston Red Sox. I'm sure. What do they call him?

The Band of Idiots, what do those guys call? Yeah. Right. Oh, you're gonna like this, Robert.

Johnny Damon is gonna be with us next week, okay? So pay attention for that one. Oh, absolutely.

He actually has this thing with this drink called A-Game that he's got his hands dipped in. Well, I'm sure he's gonna tell us about that. I think you should become a comedian, JR. Nah, I don't got time for that. Yeah, you're hilarious, bro. I don't got time for that.

Hey, you- I adore you though, trust me. You booked me, it's not gonna be too much, it's not gonna be too funny when I'm sitting on the stage with a glass of Jack, okay? Maybe you could come over and have three leaves and carrots with my- my family some night. You guys eat three- well, the guy- did you hear the guy call last night? He says he eats steak and potatoes every day. No, but I was referring to the Tom Brady and- I know, I know. That was funny, that was funny. Three leaves and a carrot.

Well- As long as they don't cut their esophagus open. Oh, look at- yeah, well, listen, listen. How about that, right? Hey, hey, Rob, thank you for calling from Connecticut. Always a pleasure.

Thank you so much, appreciate it. Hey, that- hey, Hickey, that's a P1 listener right there. It's a P1. Rob is a true fan. Die hard, we appreciate him.

Yes. I'm still- Hickey, how am I mad at a guy for- what did they say he did to his esophagus? He tore it? He tore it eating a salad.

Not good for the salad industry. Now, are the guys in the locker room really gonna give him- he almost died, but he's alive. They're gonna give him crap over that, right? I think you have to.

I mean, how can you not? First time he's like back at a, you know, a team event eating a meal, as long as you got to kind of put like a caution tape around the food or something like that? No, Hickey, what someone has to- this is what I would do. You ready for this? Sure. This is not appropriate.

Listen to me very carefully. I would go to the store, okay? You know what store I'm talking about, right? The store?

The store. I would go to the store and I'd find one of the- it'd be- I'd find- it'd be big, okay? Okay. And I'd leave it in his locker and I'd put it in the salad. That's what you would do, huh? Yeah.

It's like- how do you- how else do you- you tore your esophagus with a salad? Are we sure? Hmm. Think he was covering it up for something else? I don't know.

I don't know. A salad. I've never heard that in my life, but a salad almost took him out. That's what he said. That's what he's claiming. So, I think, again, if you're, you know, cook, teammates, maybe put some caution taper on the salad, maybe say, hey Dustin, this is not for you.

Go somewhere else or go the route that you decide to go down and leave something there. Hickey, I keep- did you hear- have you heard some of the- there's more and more stories coming out about Shaq. Have you heard these stories about him in a locker room?

No. You remember Lou Amundson? He was a center. They said that Shaq took his mouthpiece.

Oh boy. And put it in his crack. Jason Richardson told this story, okay? A great dunker, by the way, Jason Richardson. Jason Richardson said Shaq took his mouthpiece and put it in his crack. And then Lou Amundson had no idea. And so, they were playing a game, and all of the sons were sitting on the bench. And Lou Amundson was on the court. And he took the mouthpiece and he put it in his mouth and the bench started rolling. Jason Richardson had to tell him- no, no, no, no. That's not what happened. They were telling him, hey, that was in Shaq's crack and he didn't believe him. And I think they said Matt Barnes had to tell him, listen, everything in your bag has been in Shaq's crack.

You may want to get rid of everything. Yeah. That's a story that's told by Jason Richardson. Oh boy.

Shaq does seem like quite the prankster, the right word. Hickey, they said he took a crap in somebody's shoes. Oh, I feel like I did hear that one. Somebody went to put the shoes on and it was a crappy situation.

Oh boy. There does seem like a line to cross. I think both of those stories seem like that's a line or maybe a bridge too far for teammates.

But I guess that's, I mean, I guess thank God I was never a good athlete. I wouldn't be dealing with that. Yeah. Some guys never grow up, right? No. I mean, you see how Shaq and Charles talk.

Those are two guys that are postal children for that. I threatened Shaq to a fight once. What? Yeah, I threatened him to a fight. No, you didn't. Yeah, I did. I did. I turned into a fight.

Why? He told me he was, he said, I'm from New Jersey. I said, so what? I said, I'm from the Bronx. And I said, I'll fight you.

I said that to him. And then we went back and forth and, you know, he wasn't going to, what is he going to do? If he hit me, Hickey, I'd never work a day in my life. And what do I care if Shaq hits me? I'd live.

I'd hope so. It's a big punch coming your way. You have to get me first. Okay. You have to get me first. Not the most fleet of foot. Okay.

That's true. Wow. You know, I owe him an ass whooping. He had a show on TNT and he was talking about people criticizing him. Hickey, why did he take, he took footage of me when I was doing a morning show on a hip hop station here in Atlanta, V103. They manipulated footage of me to put in his a, his documentary to make them look bad.

What is it like? What do you mean by that? They just like context took here.

Yes. Out of context. This is like, oh, people criticize Shaq. And I'm like, yo, I was, I said something about Shaq doing something, but it was, it was mocking people, you know, getting that Shaq.

And they took that, they took that out of context and put that there as I was mocking. I'm like, I ain't say this about this man. Yeah. You do owe him an ass beating. Wow. I do click right there. I kick him in the hip.

It'd be over for him. It would be, could you reach that high? I can't, I can't. Yeah. I'm familiar with the guy. I get him next time. I see him on whoop his ass.

Uh, eight five five two one two 42 27. Speaking of whooping ass, uh, Alan is here from Toronto. Uh, let's hope that he slows down. Alan you're on the JL sport reshow going ahead.

Hickey. Alan doesn't realize that he's not on the air yet. Hold on. Let's see if he's talking.

Yeah, they're now we're on the air now. Okay. Go ahead, Alan. Go ahead.

Okay. Before I get to my name of a worst owner, I'd like to give a message to Jerry Jones. You recall December the 6th, 2019. He, after a loss against the Chicago Bears on a Thursday night, he, he got on the radio station and he, he got a little testy. He said, get your damn act together. Well, a message to Jerry Jones, you get your damn act together too. You know, you've been a failure since 1995. And, uh, the worst owner is, has to be David Tepper.

She's taking over ownership in, uh, from the disgraced Jerry Richardson back in 2016. His reputation is awful, just awful, deplorable. Since then the Panthers have lost, uh, they've had seven consecutive losing seasons and he's had seven, that's right, seven head coaches during that time.

And he was fined $300,000 for throwing a drink at a fan, you know, $300,000 is like 30 cents to you and I, but still it's, uh, you know, his reputation just flew off. And the Panthers this year, they, they set a record for 533 points allowed, one more than the 19, 1981 Baltimore Colts. You don't remember them, but I sure do. And they were deplorable too. So seven consecutive losing seasons and they were two and 15 in 2023.

And, uh, oh wow, gee whiz, they were five and 12 this year. So, you know, they just been absolutely horrible the last seven years. We, we talked about him being an ass. Uh, we mentioned that as he is once again, he was second behind. I don't know if this is a company that you want to be in on the NFL players association poll, David Tepper.

He was right behind Woody Johnson is, uh, the worst owner in the NFL. So yeah, Alan, you, you a hundred percent correct there. Thank you for calling from Toronto.

That was a great show. The man is absolutely right. You are entertaining the previous caller. He's absolutely right.

Well, thank you, Alan. Give me a raise. Okay. Yeah, sure. If I could, I would. Absolutely. I'll tell you, I'll give you, I'll give you some email addresses. Okay.

For me and Hickey. All right. Yep. Yep.

All right. Thank you, Alan. Hickey does he call from a landline where we going to hear like the slam and a click? Probably knowing Alan, I think. Yeah. I think he still has one of those landlines with the long cord, probably like four feet. So you can walk around a little bit.

Got that rotary phone going there too. What do you think an email looks like from Alan? Is it just one long run on sentence that just never stopped? No punctuation, no periods, no commas, no pauses, no exclamation points. Just this goes hit send, just keeps on typing then. And it's like three or four emails.

Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. He treats the, he treats the email like it's the typewriter from years ago. Are you hitting the typewriter? You have to go ding. You got to slap it to the side. Slide. Yeah. Here's, here's an interesting question. You ever use a typewriter?

You never used one probably in life before. Right? Never. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

Wow. It'd be kind of, I don't know about cool cause it seems like a hassle, but like, Oh, you have to put Hickey, you got it. You have to put the paper in there the correct way. You have to make sure the stupid thing had ink.

Oh my God. Hickey. I had one of the, I had a modern typewriter, electric typewriter. I had one of those ancient ones from like the fifties and sixties in my basement. Like man, it, we opened that sucker up. It was a suitcase. It was the keys.

If I caught my fingers in there, I'd break them. Wow. Yeah.

I wish I still had it. I don't know where it is. I have no idea.

No idea. You're such a typewriter connoisseur. Hickey, I like, I like technology.

Okay. Analog, digital, I like cameras and typewriters. I like all that stuff.

Hickey, I do. Quite the historian. You and Alan could, I'm sure he knows a lot about typewriters.

Alan does. I'm sure you're gonna have a long conversation. On my off time. I'm going to start a typewriter podcast with Alan. Talk about things from the past. Okay. Good luck getting a word in. I hope you're not getting paid by the word you speak.

Well, it'd be easy work. I just sit there, let him do all the talking. Talk about typewriters and landlines and dinosaurs. We'll get it all in. Hey, Alan, the big bang. Alan, call us back.

What is your favorite dinosaur? Call me up. Okay. All right.

Now I'm a jerk. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Alan, I'm joking with you.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. We're going to take a break. We've talked so much about some of these bad teams.

We got to hear from a good one. The Eagles have some thoughts on how they're going to continue their well, their championship run. I guess it's a run after you win one title and consecutively, at least they have to go ahead and try to win another one. We'll hear from the Eagles on the other side. And then the other Philly team, how about this?

Philadelphia is on a run right now. Paul George is doing good things in Madison square garden. Maybe it's because he's quitting his side jobs. Speaking of podcasts, I'll tell you what's going on. You're listening to the JR sport brief show, the infinity sports network.

You're listening to the JR sport brief, the JR sport brief show on the infinity sports network. I mean, we've been talking about these terrible owners and how bad everybody is. I did tell you that the 76ers, they plan on doing, on doing something good.

I guess they plan on being good somehow, some way. Howie Roseman, who at this point in time for the Philadelphia Eagles can walk on water. He's not the owner.

He is the GM. Howie Roseman said that, yeah, we want to win, but we gotta be patient. I need all the fans to be patient with us and free agency and how we build and put this team together.

He said, you know what? We want to keep the super bowl window open as long as possible. Listen to Howie Roseman. We have to do whatever we can to make sure that we keep this window open for as long as possible. The most important seasons, this one coming up 2025 and doing whatever we can to maximize that. But we have to get creative to make sure that we're keeping as many of our good players as we can.

Yeah. Baughn is a free agent. McGott-Becton is a free agent. Sweat is a free agent. But most of the team, the core is going to be intact. So what you want to do is take advantage of Saquon Barkley while he is still in his prime with that great offensive line.

That is certainly going to help them in that process. Speaking of another Philadelphia team, when we gave you the top six list, James Dolan of the New York Knicks was number six on the list of the worst owners. The 76ers are in New York right now facing the Knicks.

The Knicks lead 105 to 102. And Paul George, who has had just a miserable season, averaging 16 points a game. They gave him a four year contract north of $200 million. He has 25 points tonight. Paul George has reportedly had to get injections into his knee on a daily basis just to.

On a continuing basis, just to be able to compete, not at a high level. We know the Sixers stink because they don't have Joel Embiid. This is a disappointment of a year. And we heard him earlier this week on Monday after they got smacked by the Bulls. Paul George came out and said, we're not a title contending team. We're not a championship team.

We're not a good enough team. Well, I'm glad you just figured that out. So Paul George said that on Monday today. He put out a podcast to let everybody know that he will not be podcasting as he hopes to help turn the season around.

Oh, how sweet. Listen to him on his podcast. Well, I want to let the podcast P family know that after today's episode with Dwight, I plan to take a break from the pod just to focus on get my body right.

Get mentally right. And, you know, help this squad make a push towards our goal to finish the season. I'll give ourselves a chance to be in contentions to compete for a championship. I won't front the desire to get back to shooting in person with my guys as well as the forefront of, you know, this hiatus as well. I look forward to us three being back together and doing this as we once started this.

Yes, yes. Why does it take you losing and stinking a joint up to decide that you're going to stop your podcast? Why? I mean, it's not a surprise. Everybody has a podcast.

Everybody wants one. Draymond Green was getting his ass whooped, looking real bad in the NBA finals. And he was putting up podcast episodes after games. It's just like, man, go to bed. I don't know, put on some NormaTech boots and go to sleep. Like, I hope that we have more and more athletes who focus in on the games during the season.

If you want a podcast in the summertime and instead of being on vacation and go ahead and do so. But it has always been ridiculous to me that you, you know, you open yourself up to criticism like Angel Reese. I get it. She's young. She's getting every penny and dollar that she can right now. God bless.

I would, too. He got McDonald's meals and she's selling cereal and candy Reese's piece. God bless Angel Reese getting all the money. But for someone her age who I don't even think she's twenty three, can't be twenty four yet. You know, she's she sees and feels all the social media heat.

Like how old does she get to go? You know, why am I doing this podcast? I need to focus in on on playing and winning and making money, not in the season. Shout outs to Paul George for, I don't know, shutting the hell up. Like, it's all good when you win it. But you suck the six or suck in your podcast and shut up. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Mark is calling from California. You own the J.R. sport re-show. What's up, Mark?

Well, what's going on, J.R.? Yeah, this Nick game is just it's getting out of hand already. Like I was telling a buddy of mine in the fourth quarter, they just self implode. Nicks are good for three quarters come fourth quarter.

It's atrocious. I understand. You know, you don't have talent today within the injury. OK, you got Brunson, you got the All-Stars on a team to make like a whole All-Star team.

It's hard and under Novi and Mikael Bridges. Like, come on. Right. And then you have those right off the bench. Those are all All-Stars, huh?

All of them. Right. Oh, OK. Well, listen, OG is having a fantastic season.

They pull up his numbers right now. Tell me that that's not a great season. No, no, no, no, no. That's not. Oh, be quiet, Mark.

Damn, brah. That's not what you said. That's not what you said. We not talking about great seasons. The first thing that came out of your mouth was All-Stars. And I said All-Stars, All-Stars, they are not. The Knicks have two All-Stars. One you mentioned is hurt and the other one knocked down a big three.

That's Brunson. So we could talk about having good players, but that's the problem and issue with the New York Knicks. The New York Knicks have a bunch of good players. They have two All-Stars, but they don't have enough depth to ultimately win anything. Done.

Simple as that. You know, agree to disagree. OG is a former All-Star. That was Josh Hart. That was Mikel Bridges.

But I mean, listen, we have enough people. Mikel Bridges. How many times has Mikel Bridges been an All-Star?

One time. And for who? Brooklyn? Phoenix? For Phoenix, I believe. I think it was Phoenix or. Wait, wait. Are you are you are you telling me he was an All-Star?

You sure about that? And then he averaged at one point in. No, Mikel Bridges never been an All-Star. OK, let's let's go ahead and knock that one down.

Let's see. OG and an OBE All-Star. No, OG and OG and an OBE never been. Josh Hart, I know, has never been an All-Star. Where are you coming from making every Nick an All-Star? What are you talking about? Maybe I just think they have All-Star seasons and you know what I mean?

Just because they're not voted to the All-Star game that they're not. Mark, do you do you smoke? I do not. OK, go have a cigarette for me. Call back tomorrow, OK? All right. All right.

Thank you, Mark, for calling from California. Picky, what type of misinformation, disinformation master is that? Precious Ochoa All-Star. He's like, they have he's like J.R., they're all All-Stars. I'm like, when?

He's like, like what? Julius Rando was an All-Star with the Knicks a few years ago. Forget that he's not on the team anymore, but he was a former All-Star. That counts.

Count it. Latrell Sprewald, too. Carmelo Anthony, bring him back. All-Star.

He's like, Josh Hart was an All-Star. What? What are we talking about?

Whoa. Marco Bellini, did you hear that? Cameron Payne, Landry Shammett. All-Stars. The whole team, nothing but All-Stars on the New York Knicks. He's like, OG Ananobie's having a great year. Was he an All-Star?

Did I miss something? Dussef Bry, don't forget about him. Six Man of the Years. Right. Right. OK. What about R.J. Barrett?

He's in Toronto. Oh, my God. Same year as Emmanuel quickly, no? I know, right? I know, huh? Is this what Knicks fans do? Is this what they are? Like everybody on the team is an All-Star? Delusional?

Yeah, that sounds about right. Ah, delusional. OK. Remember our fellow Harrington? Remember him?

Of course. All-Star, right? Kurt Thomas was an All-Star. Chris Dudley, All-Star. Didn't he a politician now or something like that? Dudley? Yeah, Chris Dudley is like a politician in Oregon or something. Is he?

Did he get his soul back after Shaq dunked on him 25 years ago? You know what? I remember that. That was a Sunday. That was a Sunday afternoon on NBC.

OK, I remember that vividly. I was embarrassed for Chris Dudley. That was not nice. So it was Arrested Country. Yeah, that was not nice. And that was a widely watched game. Everybody watched it. Patrick Ewing was out that game, right?

That sounds about right. I'm pretty sure he would have to be for Dudley to be on the floor against Shaq late in the game. Oh, here we go. In October 2018, it was reported that Chris Dudley and current United States Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh were in a bar fight in September of 1985, which involved throwing ice and a drinking glass at a man who allegedly resembled Ali Campbell.

OK, all right. The more you know about Chris Dudley, I'm he ran for office. He didn't get it. Oh, wait. Chris Dudley, he's a he's a minister. Wait, what? Oh, no, his dad was sorry about that.

OK. He never he never up. He was the Republican nominee for governor. He lost in 2010. So what is Chris Dudley doing in 2025?

Just being seven feet tall. That's it. Good for him.

Anyway, it's time for a few things. No, wait, that's wrong. Hickey, why am I already putting Chris Dudley into history? And then you hear one guy get things in All-Star and also now just your whole brain is scrambled. Chris Dudley, All-Star.

Oh, man, like a career, 37 percent free throw shooter. What do you know when you go to school in Harvard? Right. You go to Harvard. I don't remember. Oh, he went to Yale.

Yeah. Man, Chris Dudley, what an amazing year. Three time all Ivy League basketball player. I can't believe it.

Listen to this. In his NBA career, Chris Dudley had more than 3400 points. Could you could you imagine that Hall of Famer forget All-Star?

Where the hell he get all these points from a long time, a lot of putbacks. 1994, 95 for Portland. He averaged 27 minutes a game, nine rebounds and five points. Good for him. Enough for Chris Dudley. That's not nice dissing that man.

He did it to himself, though. Anyway, it's the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network. We'll come back with a few things that took place this day in sports history. You are listening to the JR Sport Brief.

It is the JR Sport Brief show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We have talked about and gone through a lot. Talked about Luka Doncic last night, taking on his former team, the Dallas Mavericks. We talked about Sean McVeigh letting everybody know, yeah, we want to keep Matthew Stafford, but hey, right now he has to go out and figure out what the price is, whether it's here or somewhere else. Talked about Anthony Richardson. The Indianapolis Colts basically said, man, we got to find this guy some competition so he can get better. We heard from Aaron Rogers. He told everybody what he wants to do. He would like to play for a team that's good.

And a team that wants him. Well, good luck finding that, Aaron Rogers. We talked about some of the worst teams in the NFL, as told to you by the NFL Players Association. The Bengals hate families and the New York Jets. Well, damn it, they just hate their players. Not a shock there.

And of course, I gave you a top six list of some of the worst owners in sports. We saw, what's this guy's name? He's a bum. Paul George.

Paul George says he's going to pause podcasting to focus in on the 76ers. Well, you should have done that from day one, bro. You should have done that first. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Before we get out of here, I'm going to share with you a few things that took place this day in sports history. But let's talk to Jay from Las Vegas. You're on the JR Sport Reshow. Jay, what's up? Hey, JR, man. Love the show. First time, semi-long time. I just love your rejoins.

They bring you back to my semi-childhood, I guess. But what I'm saying is this. I think what the other call was trying to say is that all those Knicks aren't all stars.

But listen, your number one for John Fisher was amazing because he is the worst owner in sports. Yet, I live here now in Vegas and there's a brand new ballpark that can be built that I can go watch any team, any time and go gamble as well. Just a little heads up.

I just hit a grand on a $1.25 bet. Peace out. Bless out, bro. Later. OK. Thank you, Jay, for calling from Las Vegas. I appreciate you, man. Send me some money.

Want some money off the strip. Anyway, it's that time of the show. It's time to go back in time to a few things that happened this day in sports history back, back, back, 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 like the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass. It is February 26.

The year is 2025. But if we go back to February 26, 1989, only days, only a day after purchasing the Dallas Cowboys, Jared Jones decided to fire two times Super Bowl champion Tom Landry. Tom coached the team from 1960 to 1988, and then he got that boot this day in 89.

Let's take a listen to Tom Landry react to getting the boot. No, I'm not better. You know, that's just my nature is not to be better.

I think right now they could have done it a lot better, you know, obviously. But, you know, they were excited when it's all over with, you know, the things you're going to remember are not the Super Bowls. You're going to remember the players.

You don't remember the situations that you went through. Yeah, well, we saw what Jerry did. He brought in his buddy Jimmy. They won some championships and then they've been flat ever since then.

It sucks. RIP to Tom Landry. This day in sports history, February 26, 2012, you might notice, man, he's one of the most famous bowlers of all time, Pete Webber. He won a record fifth U.S. Open bowling championship by throwing a strike in the final frame. And then he yelled this on TV.

You might recall this from ESPN. It was 12 years ago already. Damn. Strike to claim it, a strike to claim it. And he got it.

Damn, Nicki, that was some WWE stuff. That's what that was right there. How do you think you are? I am. Yeah.

Man, what a line. Why didn't Vince McMahon sign him? You know what? Great question.

He would've been a star. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he wears he wore too many clothes for Vince McMahon. I don't know. What do you think Vince McMahon is doing with his free time? What's that guy doing? I don't want to know. Honestly, with some details that come out about how he spends his time, I don't want to know. Oh, him and Shaq have a few things to comment.

Oh, my goodness. If you missed the comments about Shaq this hour, go ahead and hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. Shaq was known to, let's just say, take a number two in some interesting places to prank his teammates. Vince McMahon allegedly has taken a number two. Just go read the lawsuits involving Vince McMahon.

Just do that in your own private time and private moments. Okay. Anyway, those are a few things that took place this day in sports history. Hey, thank you so much for tuning into the show.

Like I said, not just to hear stories about Shaq pooping in shoes and Vince McMahon poop in other places. If you missed anything about the top six worst owners in sports, you can listen on the Odyssey app. You want to hear us or you want to hear from Sean McVeigh talk about Matthew Stafford, Odyssey app?

A lot of laughs. Yeah. Had a chance to, well, speaking of dumps, take a dump on the A's, specifically not the A's, John Fisher, who happens to still be today the worst owner in the world of sports. We'll be back with you tomorrow at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. You can find me online everywhere at JR Sportbreef. Hickey, where can they find you at? Ryan underscore Hickey three on Twitter.
