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 being tuned in and locked in all over North America.
I'll be hanging out with you for one more hour. This show gets started every weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. I don't care if you are in Hawaii. I don't care if you're in Alaska. You could be in Miami. You could be in Montreal. You could be in San Diego.
You can color in the rest of the map and oceans and countries. I don't care where you are. Thank you for being here on the Free Odyssey app, your local affiliate, Sirius XM375, and a smart speaker if you got it. Me, I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm being joined by super producer and host Ryan Hickey in New York City.
And we've had a lot to discuss since we got started at 6 Eastern, 3 Pacific. We've had a great guest. Thank you so much to coach Lonnell Hollins. All my people in Portland remember him.
My people in Memphis remember him. He's coached in a lot of places. He coached for the Rockets as an assistant. He was with LeBron on the Los Angeles Lakers as an assistant coach when they won a championship. Great conversation with him, who he thinks is going to win the title. Man, he even gave me some thoughts on Draymond Green coaching. And of course, we talked about the Lakers with Luca and the Mavs. Thank you to coach Hollins for joining us earlier in the show. We also had a great conversation. And this was certainly a fun one because the Chicago Bears, they having some fun this off season. They added some offensive line help. Thank you to Patrick Finley from the Chicago Sun Toms for joining us.
And of course, it's a Wednesday. I just gave you a new top six list with so many wide receivers wanting out so many wide receivers being traded. Asking for trades. I gave you a top six list of wide receivers of wide receivers available in 2025. And number six, I gave you Stefan Diggs. And number five, I gave you Keenan Allen. And number four, I gave you DeAndre Hopkins. And number three, I gave you Amari Cooper. And number two, I gave you Devante Adams.
And number one, I gave you DK Metcalf. Some wide receivers that did not make the list. Well, T Higgins, where the hell is he going? Are the Cincinnati Bengals really going to trade him? Are they going to tick off Joe Burrow?
Are they just going to, you know, bring him back on the tag, drag him around, decide not to tag him next year, and then upset Joe Burrow. I'm not giving the Cincinnati Bengals any credit in anything. There's no Cooper Cup on the list.
Sorry. Didn't put him on a list. Not trusting that guy to stay healthy for more than about 10 games.
Not doing it. We had a great question. Great question by one of our callers said, Hey, J.R., why the hell do you have Stefan Diggs on the list coming off of a torn ACL?
Meanwhile, there's no Chris Godwin on your list. And I said, did you see it? Did you see this guy break his ankle? Did you see his ankle going in the other direction? I don't care what he was doing before the season got started.
Ain't nobody ankle supposed to go that way. I mean, the general manager, Chris Light of the Buccaneers, for good reason says, I'm not tagging that guy. I want him back. I believe in him. But we have to use some some caution here. He's not a dummy. If the guy didn't suffer an injury, they would have probably figured out a contract extension by now. But he has to be smart.
You don't just throw him the bag. And so, yes, most certainly is a very good chance if he is healthy, if he's not still recovering, that he comes back and has a better season than some of the individuals that I mentioned here. All things considered, if he is healthy, he'd be one of the best wide receivers on this list, along with Devontae Adams and maybe even better than him. But the fact is, in due time, people in due time and time is not today, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Of course, at the end of the show, we'll talk about a few things that took place this day in sports history. Today is March 5th. The year is twenty twenty five.
But let's talk about a few things that took place today. Like the number one wide receiver on my list is saying that he wants out of Seattle, a 27 year old freak of nature, D.K. Metcalf, Ian Rappaport. He was on the NFL Network. And when asked whether or not he's going to return, if he could return to Seattle, let's just say he didn't sound all that optimistic. Yeah, I mean, it's always possible. And if Seattle doesn't get what they want, you know, certainly could return. But if he's going to return, I would expect it to be with a new contract going into the final year of his deal, wants a new deal. Generally, just speaking generally and historically, when a team, any players say, you know what, you can seek a trade. Usually that means a player is getting trade. So we'll see what happens with D.K. Metcalf.
But certainly that is a at least strong possibility. It's not a man to the Raiders, OK? Send him to the Raiders. Go ahead and send them to the Chargers. Come on, you got Myers, you got Brock Bowers in Las Vegas, D.K. Metcalf scenes custom made for Vegas. And then come on now, we know that Harbaugh and the Chargers, they want to run that ball.
He wants to punch it in between the numbers. But first, you've got to have a deep threat. Is there a better deep threat than a runaway train and D.K. Metcalf?
The answer is no. Jackson Smith and Jigba is going to get that cash. I know he's only moving into his third year now, but he's going to get that paper and they're saving it for him.
Speaking of paper, Max Crosby got a lot of it today. Now, the second highest paid player in the NFL or excuse me, he's the highest paid player in the NFL who's not a quarterback. The Las Vegas Raiders decided to bless him with a new contract that's going to pay him thirty five and a half million dollars per year, which happens to be a five hundred thousand dollars more than Justin Jefferson.
The full extension taxed on an additional three years and one hundred and six million dollars to the two contractual years that he already had. Max Crosby, well, they had a press conference for him already and he sat in between new GM. And then he also sat down with Pete Carroll and he had a whole conversation about why he decided to stay with the Raiders. Certain people are meant to be in your life for a reason. We're building our relationship just like, you know, all of us up here. But we all have the same goal and that's the win. And that's what I'm all about. So it's truly humbling. And there's so many people, like I said, that can be involved involved and thanked along the way. You know, my agent, C.J.
Doug, these guys have put in so much work and helped me along the road. But Coach Carroll is one of the best to ever do it. His resume speaks for itself. And it's an honor to be, you know, to be held to that high of a standard. So I take it very seriously. And like, you know, John Spitek says, you know, it's not about what I've done. It's about what I'm going to do. And that's what my focus is right now. OK, sure.
All right. We'll see. He wants to be with the Raiders and win. I guess he thinks that Tom Brady is going to hop out onto the field and play quarterback. But we got to see is it Sam Darnold? Is it Chador Sanders? We have no idea. None. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Max is here from Alabama. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show.
What's up, Max? Right on. Great show, JR. Hey, I got to stand up for you on that Godwin stuff. And like Diggs, I tore my ACL my junior year, but I came back tonight and I actually had a scholarship offered from University of Arkansas Pine Bluff. And then I broke my ankle, just not as bad as good one Godwin.
But I never came back from that. So I lost my scholarship as Metcalf. I mean, his nickname should be Metcalf, the monster. And I would love to see him go to Las Vegas with Brock Bowers. I bet them two would be a tandem like Chelsea and Hill was.
OK, yeah, well, different type of players, but it'd be absolutely awesome to see. Look, the Raiders and their fans deserve everything positive that comes their way because they've been they've been suffering for a long ass time. And Brock Bowers, I get it. He's a rookie. Man, they worked that dude into the ground last year. He was option number one, two and three. And Myers was right there. So a D.K.
in Vegas would be awesome. Yes, sir. Appreciate you. Have a good night, sir. You as well, Max.
Thank you for calling from Alabama. Yeah. And I get it. And you know what? This hasn't even been brought up. Like Chris Godwin tore his ACL a couple of years ago. All right.
So, I mean, I don't want to say he's he's going to go for the trifecta, but what else is there for him to rip up? Ankles are supposed to Hickey, which direction ankles go, they go, I don't know, up and down. They go right. They tilt. Yeah, I think up and down sounds about right. It's a look at mine right now. Yeah.
Yeah. They go up and down. They rotate.
They go up and down. Your ankle isn't supposed to go to the left. It's not supposed to go to the right.
Definitely not. It's not supposed to. Chris Godwin was on his hands and his knees on the damn field and his ankle and his leg made a backwards letter L. OK, an ankle is not supposed to go that way. It makes me shiver thinking about it. Eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.
That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. Rob is here from Connecticut. You're on the JR Sportbreeze show us up, Rob. Hey, JR, what's going on? How are you doing tonight? I'm excellent. How are you?
I'm very well. By the way, I just want to let you know that I did catch the Monday show and I heard my boy Johnny Damon on and I enjoyed it immensely. And I actually have a game in the Amazon shopping cart.
Can't wait. Wait a minute. You bought a game because Johnny Damon was here and told you to. Well, he didn't tell me to, but Johnny Damon was one of my favorite players.
2004. He crushed it against the Yankees. I'm a Red Sox fan. I was jumping up and down when he hit that Grand Salami in Yankee Stadium. I think I think a lot of people remember that that grand slam that went into the upper neck. I remember that. Yeah, that was beautiful. That was a beautiful thing. I was jumping up and down on the bed like Dennis Hopper in the movie Hoosiers when they won the state championship.
So anyways, you know what? I was going to let you know that Chris Godwin is going to be a OK because I dislocated my ankle and broke my tibia at the same time. And when I was screaming and yelling, my dad came out and said, stand up and be a man.
And my friend stood me up and my foot was pointing backwards and I got through it. And Chris Godwin is going to get through it and he's going to tear it up. So the guy down there in Tampa Bay, Don, don't worry about it.
Chris Godwin will be back. But I enjoyed your I enjoyed your what? Top six. Well, thanks. I got I got how many how many 1000 yard, you know, receiving seasons did you have after you turned your ankle the wrong way? Well, unfortunately, I never got a chance to play football after that. Okay. I did. I did play hockey with a hip replacement.
And thanks to Bo Jackson, because he played baseball with the hip. Well, how many how many goals are you away from Wayne Gretzky? Oh, that's going to be a tough one, bro. That's a tough one. Alex is on his way to it, though. I see that.
Let's see if he does it this year or next. Well, thank you, Rob. Appreciate you. I hope you had a nice walk today, by the way, if it wasn't raining.
It did rain here a little in Atlanta, and I didn't get too much walking in besides walking into the building. All right, Jr. Thank you very much. Always a pleasure.
Appreciate it. Yeah, I wish I had some leisurely time to walk. I got no free time. I need a twin. I need a clone.
I need three of me. Man, I like how everybody goes, Hey, I broke my ankle. He'll be fine. What do you do? You got like a six foot guy, you know, that runs a four two trying to stop you from catching the ball. Could you run a route? How many passes that's Tom Brady throwing your way? So I have broke my ankle. So that guy will be fine. Okay.
We'll see. 855-212-4227. It's 855-212-4227. Jay is calling from Las Vegas, maybe the future home of DK Metcalf. Hey, Jay, what's on your mind?
Hey, I wouldn't mind that at all. Thanks for taking my call, man. Listen, I got to stick up for the NBA, bro.
I listen to infinity pretty much in between work and a bed. Everyone keeps taking a shot at these NBA players. Look, this is, I believe I'm a hoop head straight up. The hardest game to play in sports hockey. I've never skated. I can't even roller skate let alone ice skate, but you draw the line.
We're never done it for 48 minutes, 32 minutes. Jump around. Shoot.
I don't know why. And you know what this guy called you today, Dylan, I think in Utah, who is so sad about the NBA, you know why? He's a freaking jazz man. I've watched some, some, some throwback games channel called hardwood classics.
I watched the game from 1989 warriors versus Sixers. You know how God awful that was to watch so boring and so slow. Like, I don't know. Well, are you, are you okay right now? Are you running a marathon? What's going on? I'm walking the strip right now.
Of course. Oh, you're walking the strip, the Las Vegas strip. Well, yeah, not the entire strip, but I had to go play a couple of bets for tomorrow's Arnold Palmer. You know, where's, where's Spiderman is, is a Spiderman out there and Batman. I haven't seen any of them yet.
I just hit up the, the, a couple of spots where I play some bets and then hope for the best. You know what I mean? So tell y'all you're the best. Hey, guess what?
What can you name one? Cause I love your rejoins. You're a hip hop head like me.
Can you name one of the tech crack commandos? I'll hang up in this and buy. Oh my goodness. Thank you, Jay, for calling from Las Vegas. You don't, you don't, well, you're on the Las Vegas strip. You don't get high on your own supply. Like, come on now. I can name all the 10 crack commandments. Come on. Ask a guy asking me about that on the Las Vegas strip, picky house.
Are you on it? Is he running from people trying to steal out of his pockets? I, he was out walking. What was he doing? Sprinting.
He was out of breath, man. They got the, they got, uh, they have crackish Spiderman out there on the strip. They have meth Batman. They got those ladies out there with the head dressers, the flapper looking ladies with the, uh, that are naked and got the body paint on Hickey. I like Vegas for like two days.
I mean in the city, man, I gotta be careful. But you know what I don't like is because you're in the desert and specifically on the strip. I know there's more to Vegas than the strip laws.
I know it's just there last year. If you forget something, you're screwed. Like if I got to buy a toothbrush and I'm on the strip Hickey, it's going to cost me $10 for a toothbrush because where the hell else in the desert am I going to get a toothbrush? Nowhere.
Damn $10. Oh, you want some breakfast in Las Vegas? Oh, well you're here in this casino. You want Starbucks. You just want a breakfast.
I don't know. You want a croissant $8 JR. Oh, you're drunk. Oh, you're drunk. Like the rest of the drunks here. You know how much this bottle of water that's eight ounces is going to cost you $20 you're drunk. This is what you get. Next time drink water out the faucet.
That that's the only thing Hickey. I want lunch. I don't want a turkey burger or a salad. I got to spend $30. No, thanks.
No, thanks. The only time I've gone, I got a similar feeling where it does feel like you're kind of getting taken or everyone's there trying to take you for something. Kinda. I didn't like that. That I did not enjoy. Oh my goodness.
Kinda. I can't do anything. You can't do anything. You can't breathe. I'm not, I'm not breathing.
They said it's 20 bucks right now. Well, it cost me my life. I got to breathe all the cigar smoke and the cigarettes and the marijuana. I got to breathe everything. If I go outside, I got to breathe the sand, you know, everything in Vegas is a cost, man.
I like it though. Go for a couple days. I'll tell you this one day I went out there a few years ago, Hickey. I used to go to all of the fights. Well, most of them, some of them. I met these guys, Hickey, they worked in construction in like Indiana. I stayed at, I went to visit them and they had a, they got, the MGM has, they got homes that you can rent back there. They got mansions that you can rent back there. Did you know that? What? No.
On the strip as a part of the casino at the MGM, they got mansions back there. Wow. I went into one of these guys, you know, they had, they had the whole mansion for the weekend and telling me it costs like, you know, 50 and 60K.
I might be shortchanging it for like a day, Hickey, a day. Goodness. Construction guys? Well, yeah, I need to do construction now. Okay. Sounds like a front. Well, maybe.
I don't know what they're moving besides concrete. Like 50 and 60K a day? So for Vegas, give me that type of money. I went into their place, Hickey. They had a barbershop as a part of the, the, the, the suite, the mansion suite as a barbershop. It was fresh of the fight. Yeah. There was, there was a pool in there, you know, and a fountain like outside of the, the bedroom.
And so lo and behold, one day I was watching one of the fights at the MGM when I guess boxing was still important on HBO or Showtime. And I saw, I recognized, you know, the area, it's like an Italian mansion village and that's where they put the fighters before they get the asses whooped. Wow. Yeah.
You step outside your little mansion. It looks like Italy in the middle of Vegas. Wow. And how did you meet these guys? You said construction workers from Indiana. Yeah. Yeah. They're from the Midwest somewhere.
Yeah. And you just met them happenstance in Vegas and they said, come on over to our mansion. I got friends, Hickey. Okay. You know, a lot of people, it sounds like, you know, the right people. If you're going to hang out at a mansion, I wasn't Hickey.
I didn't have to pay for anything. Let's put it that way. It's pretty nice. It's another, you definitely know the right people. Yeah. You guess who, guess who wasn't paying to stay there though? Not me. Not me.
50, 60 K a night. What? That's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Vegas. Great place. That guy's running down the street on a strip. The tale of two towns. You got meth head Spiderman outside.
And then right down the block, you got guys paying 50, 60 K to stay in a Italian Villa in the middle of the desert in America. You can't make some of his stuff up. You can't. It's the JR sport reshow on the infinity sports network. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. Just shout outs to everybody. In Vegas. I love y'all. When we come back from break, I told you about the Tennessee Titans and what they may or may not do with the number one pick.
And then also speaking of spending money on ridiculous things like, I don't know, 50, $60,000 hotel rooms, give me the money next time somebody bought somebody's phones. I'm going to explain on the other side. It's the JR sport reshow, the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief.
It is the JR sport reshow on the infinity sports network. Hey, this is for our last caller. He's just like, Hey, JR, can you name, I know you like hip hop. Well, yeah, I've done more than light hip hop.
I used to work in hip hop. He's like, Hey, can you name one 10 crack commandment? I'm like, I can name all of them. I can recite every word. I will not recite every word, but I could do all of that. And shout outs to Chuck D voice. You just heard there at the beginning of the sample. Anyway, 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.
That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. You know, we we've discussed a lot today. What the Kansas city chiefs are doing as they reconstruct their offensive line. We discussed all the wide receivers that are available. I gave you a top six list of, of wide outs that are here for the taking.
Some are going to have to wait longer than others. It's like musical chairs with the wide receivers, you know, where Deandre Hopkins ends up and, you know, Godwin isn't going anywhere. I think that the Buccaneers are going to give him a deal. I know a lot of people calling me, telling me how great his leg is going to be.
Okay. You run on his leg. Tell me how his broken leg is going to work out.
Let me know. But some of these other guys, the Metcalfs, the Hopkins of the world, the Maury Cooper's, the Cooper cups, it's going to be fun to see. Talked about LeBron James and stuff. And then we had a whole story about the, the opulence of Vegas.
Yeah. You know, people, people make wild decisions when they go to Las Vegas. We've seen the movie.
You've probably seen a movie to hang over. There was a whole guy walking around with a baby that did not belong to him. Mike Tyson is hanging out with tigers and people are pulling teeth out of their mouth. Wild things happen in Vegas. People make bad decisions. Well, I want to let you know about another bad decision. Bad decision. Well, a bad decision by the guy who made it. It's a good decision for Walsh.
Yeah. Remember Walsh. He was the guy breaking all the NBA news until he said, I need a life. Like I can't be connected to my damn phone all day getting text messages from, I don't know, Nico Harrison. Like who wants to live that life?
Nobody. And so Walsh decided to go ahead and be the general manager of his old college, St Benedict's. Okay. Good for him. He's trying to raise money for the school.
That's his job now. So we do at college, we actually acknowledge that, uh, you know, it's a business. It's not just a handing out pieces of paper. It's about making money. So as a part of making money, Walsh decided to auction off some of his phones, some of his equipment just to raise money for the school. Well, if somebody decided to buy his equipment, I don't know if this is a good decision.
It sounds like a bad one to me. Listen to this report from the athletic Adrian Wojnarowski. He is auctioning off a bunch of his old media stuff for money toward NIL for St Bonaventure. You can bid on the iPhone that he used to break the Paul George Kawhi Leonard trade. He's got the iPhone that he used to break the NBA suspending its season due to COVID in 2020. Ooh, the iPhone he used for his farewell tweet. This guy was, this guy was selling like, like useless ass phones.
He made about, he made about what? $18,000 like selling phones and like, what are we doing? He sold a credential from the all star game for a thousand dollars. He sold his used phone that he used for his farewell. He said, I'm not doing this crap anymore. He sold it for 1700 bucks. He had the phone that he used to break Kawhi Leonard and Paul George to the Clippers in 2019. He sold that for $5,000. What are we, what are you doing with this stuff? Picky, what are you doing with a, you just gotta, you gotta be one of the guys in the Midwest who work construction. You have to be spending 50 and $60,000 a night, you know, to be in fake Italy and Las Vegas. You, you gotta be spending that type of money to say, I want a guy's old phone that does nothing.
That's the only way to justify it. I mean, I'm, I have so many questions, including, okay, you bought the phone, you spent a thousand too much for whatever. What do you do with it? Like, do you frame the iPhone?
You put it in the man cave. Do you use it is now that your new phone, Hey, look at me. I'm, this is my phone. Guess what also happened on this phone?
Rose tweeted out that Kawhi and Paul George go to LA. Like, what do you, now that you bought it, which is a mistake in general, what do you do with it? What do you do? What do most people do with used phones anyway? They just end up, all you do is sell them again, right? That or turn them into the company to get, you know, so let's break on the next one. If you got an iPhone from 2019, I know it doesn't sound like a long time ago, but I don't know how many iPhones have come out since then.
I don't know, three, four, at least probably one a year. Right. You would think it feels like it. And I don't know, you go to the store and say, how I want to use, I guess they can turn it on for you, but do you, what's the purpose?
What are you using it for? I don't know. I am assuming, right. The phone is, I mean, it is definitely wiped.
It's not getting any contacts. I was going to say, Oh, you just, yeah. Right. If the Adam Silverstone numbers in there, that'd be the worst in the world. Kind of cool. Oh, Hey, Hey, here's LeBron James. Oh, here's Adam Silver.
I just call them until they eventually pick up or block me. One of the two, but you, you know what? Of course that's the case, but it didn't occur to me. You're correct.
There's nothing. So what do you think he deleted from the phone? Oh, just, he did like the hard reset or he just said, I'm going to delete the contacts and just the text messages.
I'm going to take off my information and give it to you, which I guess that would be the same thing. Wouldn't it? I'm assuming hard factor reset. There's like you turn that thing on.
There's nothing there. We're going back to factory settings, huh? I'm assuming. I mean, how much you can get in trouble if you have some text messages on there that maybe, you know, news, he didn't break.
Of course. How much is a phone from 2019? This guy paid $5,000 for it because it was in this guy's back pocket. Come on. Like I'm buying a guy's phone that was in his back pocket. He took to the bathroom with them. Like, okay, I bought Woj's phone.
All right, good. I don't know, man. And the credential, like an NBA all-star connection. What are you doing with that? Who cares?
You can't brag to your friends about that. It's look, people pay for, you know. What's the difference between this and memorabilia?
Besides Woj is or was a broadcaster reporter. And he's not Aaron Judge, he's not Otani, but his stuff got to be worth something, right? I mean, your stuff is worth whatever somebody is willing to spend on it. True, but I'm assuming if someone buys Aaron Judge's batting gloves like the second game of the year, I'm assuming they're Yankee fans.
OK, these are Aaron Aaron Judge's batting gloves. Cool. Is anyone a Woj fan? Yeah, he got fans, of course. Well, we've been proven that he does. Well, I guess you're right.
I mean, enough to spend a couple of thousand dollars. I got credentials. Hey, you know, you know what?
I've been offered credentials outside of places. People like I buy them off you. I go, no, I go, do you look like this? Like, what are we doing? Like people try to go to boxing, boxing matches.
Boxing is so such a mess. You know, you don't have your face on a credential. And so maybe not in that case, but people try to buy credentials. And like, yeah, man, I give you 100 bucks for him. No, it's so hickey. I guess everything is worth something.
I guess I'm the stupid one. I was going to say 100. I mean, a thousand bucks. I would say, you know what?
Have have at it. If somebody was giving me a thousand bucks for a credential, they'd probably be giving me fake money to that. It would be fake money. I know it would be. Here's this check.
Don't cash it till next week, but I promise you can go to the bank. It's going to go through. Oh, sure. Definitely. Okay. You got yourself a deal, buddy. People out here be lying. We know that.
855-212-4227. Ray is here from Arkansas. What's up, Ray? What's going on, Gerald, man? Hey, man, I love your show, bro. I listen to you every night at work, bro. And you, you put it down, man.
You put it down. Thank you. What else is one of them? That's it.
This one, man. No, it's raining, man. Oh, damn. And it's cold.
No, damn. You're further out than me in Arkansas. So I hope it ain't doing whatever it's doing here.
I'm looking out the window. It's not. So, well, thank you.
It was kind of slacking up a little bit. Oh yeah. No doubt, man. Keep rocking it, bro. All right. No doubt. Thank you, Ray, for calling from Arkansas.
And now we have a new drop. Thank you, Ray. It's the JR sport re-show on the infinity sports network. When we come back, I'm going to tell you quickly about how dumb the Tennessee Titans are. I think we already knew that. And then we'll talk about a few things that happened this day in sports history.
One of the things that happened involved a couple of wives and their children. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport re-show here with you on the infinity sports network.
Man, we, we just, I can't believe this. We just had a game go final in the NBA. Boston Celtics beat Portland 128 to 118.
Hickey and I were talking about this in the break. Hickey, Derek White and Peyton Pritchard, they lost their damn minds tonight, huh? Peyton Pritchard, 43 points on 10 of 16 from three. Derek White, 41 points on nine of 17 from three.
The 19 combined three pointers, most ever by a pair of teammates. Most not, this is not Klay Thompson and Steph Curry. No, these two guys? These two guys, somehow. Chris Mullen, Reggie Miller, these two guys?
Peyton Pritchard and Derek White. They getting drug tested tomorrow. Okay. They got to go see the P the P man is going to be knocking at their door tomorrow when they wake up.
Like, Hey, come, it's a random, random drug test. Okay. NBA probably text him tonight and drink a lot of water. Yeah. No reason.
Make sure you're hydrated because we're going to need you in the morning time. Wow. That's crazy, man.
Yeah. Like I said, nobody talking about the Celtics, but, uh, yeah. Well, when we spoke to Lionel Hollins, he, I got to go back and see, well, he picked the thunder. I feel like we spoke to somebody a couple of days ago. They picked the Celtics.
I can't keep up. I think it was Justin Termini, I believe. Ah, yes, yes, yes. And Justin is up in Boston as well.
So look, only thing stopping the Celtics is if not even Chris, that's Porzingis goes down at some point. And, um, would anybody be surprised if that happened? I don't, I don't think so.
Not at all. Anyway, it's the end of the show. That means it's time for a few things that took place this day in sports history. Back in the days when I was young, I'm not a kid anymore, but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again. It's time for this day in sports history.
You see, back in those days, we had radio and you couldn't see anything and it was primitive and lousy and we liked it. On the JR Sport Brief Show. I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your ass.
It is the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity Sports Network. Today is March 5th. The year is 2025. But if we go back, Oh, what the hell is this?
Wow. This is a doozy. If you go back to March 5th, 1973 people do this all the time.
I don't know if this is a big deal. There were two guys playing for the New York Yankees that decided they wanted to swap their wives and their kids. Uh, listen to the New York Post. By most accounts in the summer of 72, the two families were just close friends. Then New York Post sports writer Maury Allen had a party at his place during which the two couples committed to an off-the-field trade. The two players left with each other's spouses and then engaged in some Yankee Panky for the next several months, officially moving in with each other's families in December of that year. Days after the announcement in March, Suzanne Kekich spoke to the Post about how the big swing just sort of happened and that everyone was really happy with the situation.
Mike Kekich, however, had a completely different story to tell the press, explaining that he and Marilyn Peterson had already split up and that he wanted his old wife and family back and that somewhere inside he'd like to kill Peterson. Oh my God. Hickey, stop the music. Stop the music.
Stop the music. He wants his old wife back. He wants his old. He wanted his old wife back. They swapped wives and kids and they were doing a hanky-panky. They were moving it all about. The guy at the New York Post said they went for the big swing and then the guy wanted his wife back after all of that? After all that, wanted to revoke the trade.
Maybe like a lot of Mavericks fans wish they had with Luca. Oh my God. Undo it. Wow. I'm gonna take it guys. This is what you get.
But the other guy, what a punishment. Wow. What a world. Damn.
Anyway, what else happened this day in sports history? Do we know? Okay. Hey, we do. March 5th.
This has nothing to do with swapping wives. A bunch of nerds playing basketball. March 5th, 2016. Yale. They won the Ivy League tournament and they clinched their first NCAA tournament for the first time since 1962. That's the second longest drought ever in college basketball.
1962 to 2016. Of course, there's a bunch of people at Yale. No disrespect to people at Yale. Let's listen to the final call as Yale beat Columbia to advance to the tournament.
This is courtesy of the Ivy League. Kendall Jackson picks it up. Down to two. Down to one.
Long three at the buzzer. No good. And your Ivy League champions for 2015-16 are the Yale Bulldogs. They come in the levee and beat the Lions handily and they are heading dancing for the first time since 1962. Oh, good for them. Yale ended up actually, wow.
Yeah. Well, they ended up beating Baylor in the first round of the NCAA tournament and then they lost to Duke. So Yale was rolling and they've been to the tournament three times since then.
Congratulations. Yeah, good for them. Basketball playing nerds. Now them nerds be getting into stuff. I know the nerds, they swap wives too. Hickey, I can't get over that story.
That's an incredible one, huh? People swap lovers. It's common, okay? But it's just, he got mad. One of them got mad and wanted his wife back.
That I find hilarious. You should have known better, you stupid idiot. Now you got no wife. Now you got no wife. Now you got no kids. You just asked out. Everybody else is happy except for you.
And even worse, that insult to injury, because he's your teammate, you see your wife probably, what, every day mostly? See the kids coming to the game? No, you got to ask for a release.
Trade me to the Mets, I don't know. Do they have for agency in 73? I don't think so. Oh, no.
Kurt Flood was fighting for it, yeah. Oh, man. I don't know. Hardship waiver, I don't know. Retire. Get another job. Well, if you listen to JJ Reddick, you just go be a milkman somewhere, I don't know. Oh, my God. Oh, man. What a world.
Yeah, those are a few things that happen in sports history. Nerds playing basketball and people swapping wives. There's somebody right now listening to the sound of our voices, Hickey.
Somebody's swapping a spouse right now, okay? Going to that fishbowl. The fishbowl?
Excuse me. What you talking about? Isn't that, well, I guess I mean, it's a swinger thing more than actually just the full switcheroo. But isn't that like a swinger thing?
You put your keys in a fishbowl and I don't know what you're talking about, bro. You pick out and I don't know. I don't know. That's what you heard? What?
That's what I've heard. Okay. All right.
That's how things go down sometimes. Ah, okay. All right. I've never heard of that. I'm not familiar. Oh, yeah. No, no. Big party.
A lot of people there. Ah, okay. No questions. Thank you to Lionel. Thank you to Lionel Hollins for joining us. That's not something that we discussed with the coach.
He talked about his relationship with LeBron James after LeBron scored his 50,000 point. And thank you as well to Patrick Finley for joining us. He covers all things Chicago Bears for the Sun Times. The Bears are trying to do their best to protect Caleb Williams. Of course, I gave you a top six list.
Some of the best wide receivers available this season. And if you missed the minute or second of the show, you can go ahead and hit rewind. Start from the beginning. Start at the middle. Hit pause.
