It is the JR Sportbrief show on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Super producer and host Ryan Hickey is holding it down for us on the boards in New York City. Thank you for being here.
The show does get started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. And we've had a hell of a show. We had a busy show. We spoke to a couple of guys who played in the NFL, something that I could never do.
Not big enough, not fast enough, too lazy. Pete Bursich joined us. He used to hit people for the Minnesota Vikings. Now talks about people hitting people for the Minnesota Vikings. He agreed the Minnesota Vikings need a quarterback to, well, they need somebody else besides J.J. McCarthy.
How about that? I think we know that guy hasn't thrown a pass in the league yet. We had a great conversation with Max Starks. This man won two Super Bowl championships with the Pittsburgh Steelers. And now he also talks about people hitting people in the SEC and the NFL.
He's just all over the place. Thank you, Max, for joining us. And by the way, we still don't have a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's nobody. They'll figure it out anyway.
This is bad. Not the Tennessee Titans, a bunch of losers, the other loser team in the division with them, the Indianapolis Colts. They got two quarterbacks now.
They do. And if you got two quarterbacks, you got none. Daniel Jones looked at Anthony Richardson and said, I can take your job. And he very well might. Daniel Jones is a cult.
Good for him. People are worried about the San Francisco 49ers as they have a jettisoned many of their starters, 10 of them. Forty nine has got 10 players gone. Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, we just had a call or worried about the Eagles.
I'm like, how? Like, they just won the Super Bowl. They can't keep everybody. Eventually, some of the younger guys, like the rookies who helped them win the Super Bowl, like the two cornerbacks who were drafted last year, Mitchell and Dejeane, like, wouldn't it be natural for them to step up?
Come on now. You still got Reed Blankenship there, too. Hickey, they got the Philadelphia Eagles got the amazing whites. How come they can't be better? What are people worried about? I have no idea.
When you have those two guys back there, what is there to worry about? I don't know. The amazing. That is so hilarious to me. The amazing whites. Hickey, we live in such a crazy world. Well, we're going to get a cornerback tandem that shows up in T-shirts that say, what is it? What are they called? The amazing whites. The amazing whites.
That's right. The exciting whites. Is it exciting whites? Exciting whites. The exciting whites. Is somebody got two black guys going to show up and be the exciting blacks? Is that next?
Why not? The exciting Samoans? This is. Do you know where the exciting whites comes from? Tell me. I don't know. There's a meme going around, like from a wine store. I believe this is real.
I think it's Photoshop. Was it in Philly? I don't know. I'd like you just to just see the sign and for the aisle. And it said exciting whites from white white wine.
Yeah, that's funny. That is exciting whites. Eagles. That's the first thing that comes up. Let's see.
Exciting whites wine. Let's see. Here we go.
Where's the mean? Wow. And this is all from the wait. Wow. This is all from November.
Time flies. Oh, this is hilarious. Hickey, this looks like the this looks like the wine racket at Publix when I go to the market, man.
What is this? I mean, that looks I would go down that aisle. Exciting whites.
Let's see what we got. I like wine like red wine. I mean, how many wines are there? Red wine, white wine, sparkling wine, rosé.
That's its own category. It's a sparkling red wine. Yeah. OK, OK. You like rosé? You like it sweet?
No, I do not. I'm not a big wino. Oh, you don't got to be a drunk on the street to like wine. Come on, Hickey.
It's not. It's too bitter for me. All wine? Yeah, I'm not a red wine guy. I would be a white wine guy.
Like, I'll, you know, suck it down if I have to. There's too much sugar in the white wine. But it's not enjoyable. Well, I'm not sorry. I like champagne. Give me a shit.
Yeah, I find a reason I'm not supposed to drink any of this. But I will find a reason. I'm alive. I'm celebrating. Give me some champagne.
Easy. I will find a reason to celebrate. You made it to Tuesday. Might as well celebrate. Hickey, don't give me a reason to celebrate Wednesday, OK? Listen, as I say, not every day is guaranteed. I'm getting over the hump. That's a reason. Live it like it's your last.
That's right. Shout outs to people. I was going to say shout outs to people drinking, but shout out to that. Hopefully you are not drinking and driving.
Do not do not do that. Hickey, sometimes I see some of these old commercials and. Hickey, think about what a world we live in. All right. Do you do you remember there used to be ashtrays and cars? You ever got in a car with an ashtray? I don't think so. And maybe if I did, I can't remember.
But like on the time on the side, like by like the window, windows, center console and cigarette lighters. Yeah. That's all I remember growing up, man. You smoke on a plane, too, back in the day.
Oh, my God. Times are different, man. Say remember, no seatbelts down on if you remember, but that was was the time. No, well, there was smoke on there was smoke on a plane. Was it last week? A lot of stuff going on with planes recently. Another one? You didn't see the plane was sitting on a tarmac and they had like smoke in the cabin and they are like, all right, we ain't taking off.
So we just got to turn around and park this bad boy. Yeah, I did not. Jeez.
What is going on? I don't know. Just normal stuff.
Normal stuff. I get in a plane before I get in the car every day, but I get in a plane before I get in the car. Hmm.
I got no worries. I tell you where I'm not going. I'm not going southwest. You see they charge for bags now. I did see that. And you can no longer it's no longer pick your seat when you get there, right?
Well, that was from like a year or two ago or something, man. They are a lot of the perks that separated them by the wayside. Look, all these flight places, they want to take away your miles and I don't know, flying and stuff. I got to build my own plane, bro. Right, brothers. Here I come.
They got nothing on me. OK, I'm going to build my own plane and figure it out. Paying our jet that rolls right off the tongue. The J.R. I say it was a jet.
I don't know. Well, it could be the company, you know, JetBlue, JetBlue is not, you know, not just jets. J.R. Jet. And not another failing airline, right? Well, the airline industry not doing too hot now, is it? No, it isn't. Neither are the I don't know what's doing good.
There's a lot of things I think about it not doing good. I don't want to go down the list. It'll be here a while.
It'll be here a while. I'm not going down the list. Speaking of not doing good, here we go. Perfect correlation, Nicky. You ready for this one? You know where I'm going?
I do not, but I'm excited for it. The Indianapolis Colts not doing well. Yeah, that's very fair.
That stock is, I mean, at an all time low. Hey, they basically have to choose. They are in the wine aisle going, they choosing between two expired wines. One is like three years too old and the other one just got here and it's already gone bad.
The Indianapolis Colts have added Daniel Jones to their quarterback room with Anthony Richardson. Awful. It's terrible. Not a decision that you want to make.
This is like showing up to the bakery when the bakery is getting ready to close and you really want a doughnut and you're just like, man, I know these doughnuts are old, it's hard. Do I want the one that's, I don't, it's just a bad, bad decision. And Anthony Richardson, he wouldn't even be in this position right now to have quarterback competition. If he didn't quit on a football game last year, cause he was tired. I don't care. I know he took a playoff that man sat down and quit.
And then also if he didn't throw interceptions and then also if he didn't get hurt and also if he could be a quarterback who completes more than 49% of his pack, like who in the NFL, what NFL QB cannot complete more than 50% of your passes, you're going to be out the league. Forget Daniel Jones taking your job. It's pretty hilarious last year. Just listening to him talk about how tired he was. He's like, damn, I was running a lot. I got tired. I needed to, I needed to sub out the game. This is hilarious. Maybe he'd still have a job if he didn't quit.
This is from October. Man, it's hard. That was a lot of running right there. All I did. And I don't think I was going to be able to go to that next place.
So I just, you know, just told saying I just needed a brick right there. Man, it's your job to run. The man's job is to run and I get it. They get tired. They suck oxygen.
They getting hit for a living. Lamar Jackson has never said nothing about being tired. All I got does is run. I've seen Patrick Mahomes scramble miles behind a line of scrimmage. I never heard that guy say I'm too tired. I've seen that guy getting hit and sacked.
I'm too tired. Man, he deserves competition. And if Daniel Jones takes his job, Anthony Richardson, man, he just needs to find another line of work. He's very athletic. Join the circus. They need performers, right?
I don't know. Go do something else where you won't get tired. Sit down somewhere. What a guy. Daniel Jones might take that man's job. Anthony Richardson should be insulted. Anyway, got people complaining about the Philadelphia Eagles today. And he wasn't complaining, but we had a caller in the last break. You can call as well.
855-212-4227. He's like, oh, JR, Eagles traded CJ Gardner Johnson. People are like the heart, the soul of the team is gone.
And how are we going to do anything? I'm like, man, it's called talent. And Howie Roseman has done an excellent job drafting and bringing in talent. He warned everybody about this just a couple of weeks ago, just last week at the NFL Combine.
This man got hit in the head with a beer bottle at the parade. You don't need to give this man a break or you Eagles fans. He says he has an idea of what this roster is going to look like. He's like, everybody be patient.
Relax. We have a vision of how the team is going to look, what's really important for us to continue playing at a high level. And, you know, I think it's my job every year to make sure that we have that as a starting point, as a base when we start the offseason.
And after that, it allows you to get creative. You know, if you don't really have the pillars of your football team, if you don't have those, it doesn't matter how creative you are. It's going to be hard to win. Yeah, you would think some of these Eagle fans, y'all know you won the championship. Just everybody always got to find something to complain about. There's always something wrong. And I guess that's human nature. We can't just be satisfied and happy when things are good.
We have to got to find something wrong, right? Something. Listening to some of the Eagles fans, you would think y'all are the Browns. That you're selecting number two overall. That you're going to end up with a rookie quarterback. And then you also might end up with Kirk Cousins. Man, what a bum Kirk Cousins is. He wants to leave Atlanta to start in Cleveland.
OK, good luck. Speaking of Cleveland with Jerry Judy, hilarious news on up and Adams actually caught this earlier today. He was asked, you know, where or where he wants the team to go when it comes to the quarterback position. Does he want like a Cam Ward to come in and throw the ball at him? Or would he prefer an Aaron Rodgers? And let's be clear. Aaron Rodgers ain't going to no damn Browns. But listen to this conversation.
Pretty funny this morning. That is hard because you know what Aaron Rodgers is going to bring to the table. But, you know, he's he's at the at the end of his years, you know, but you also know, you know, Cam's a great quarterback. That's just up into the league. So I don't know.
I can't answer that. Do you think Aaron Rodgers still has it? Can he win a Super Bowl? Are you if he signs with the Steelers, your rival, are you going to be like Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like you might want him. Yeah.
Yeah. Aaron Rodgers might come over here. Now, we had this conversation with Max Starks earlier in the show who used to play for the Steelers and played for Mike Tomlin and won two Super Bowls and played with Ben Roethlisberger. He prefer if the Pittsburgh Steelers stay away from the old ask you B's reasonable reasonable.
If you can get a young guy that you can kind of, you know, break in and half of the next few years, that'd be awesome. But unfortunately, the Steelers would have to suffer through a broken season. Now, how would the fans react to that?
Like stealer fans like what do you want? You want Mike Tomlin to win? You want him to win with what he got? He don't got enough. And then if he sucks and has a terrible year and the terrible year helps to get a new quarterback. Are you prepared for that?
Some people will never, ever be happy. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Mark is here from Jacksonville on the JR Sportbreeze show. What's up, Mark? Hey, JR. How are you? I am absolutely amazing. How are you?
Good to hear that. Let's talk about, let's talk about my Baltimore Ravens and how they can upgrade to surpass the Buffalo Bills to guarantee, guarantee. Go ahead, sir. No, you said guarantee.
Go ahead. I interrupted you. Guarantee what? Guarantee that they can step one step over the Buffalo Bills.
Over the Buffalo Bills and knock out that AFC East. Well, they ain't no guarantee of that, but well, they did pick up DeAndre Hopkins today. I don't think anybody's expecting him to, you know, turn back the hands of Tom and, you know, play like he was, you know, back in Houston.
But that's, that's a good move. You don't like Hopkins being added to the Ravens? I'm thinking about 10 years in the league, 12 years in the league. Is he past his prime? Oh, well, yes, he's past his prime, but he's not cooked.
He's going to be 33 in the summer. Nice. Oh, yeah.
Listen, every day you're alive is a good one. I'll take it. Amen. Um, is Hopkins, is Hopkins Ravens number one? No, that's Zay Flowers. No, that's, that will be Zay. And then I know everybody, I know everybody's still probably ticked off at Mark Andrews.
He will still be the escape hatch. And let's also think about this Mark. You want to guarantee, there's no guarantee that the Baltimore Ravens are going to jump in front of the Buffalo Bills, but they are literally one Mark Andrews catch away from blowing everything to hell. What happens if Mark Andrews catches that ball?
Yes, sir. Listen, I'm an Oklahoma Sooners guy in Jackson. Ooh, uh, ooh, tight end might be a one year past his prime also.
Mark Andrews. Okay. He's okay. He's, he's 29 years old. Okay.
I would think he was right in the middle of his problem, but okay. Are you past your prime Mark? Are you? Oh, yes, sir.
Oh damn. Yes, sir. Approaching 70. Oh, you're approaching 70. Oh, that's a good age.
That's a good age. Yeah. Yes, sir. Do you, how often do you go to the gas station? Uh, I'm asking about gas gasoline. Of course. Ask about gas. Yes, sir.
Every day. Okay. All right. Yeah.
Booming everything. Hey, thank you Mark for calling from Jacksonville. Appreciate you. Thanks. Nice talking to you. A pleasure. Call me anytime.
Anytime. Oh, Hickey. What else is he buying from the gas station besides gas? How much is he driving? If he's going every day? Oh, I don't think he's, I think he might be going to gas station and going home. I think. What do you think?
What do you think he's getting there then? Breakfast, coffee, gas stations. Oh, the good ones have bananas. You know, they have fruit. He definitely seems that he buys a newspaper like the printout newspaper at a gas station every day.
No doubt about it. To be honest, I don't, I don't know the last time I saw a physical newspaper. They don't still happen in like delis and gas stations anymore. No, man. No, I haven't seen one here in Georgia. No, not in Atlanta. Well, why, who's delivering a newspaper?
Who's doing that? Well, I figured at least, you know, you deliver it to one spot. People could pick it up instead of going house to house. Remember the newspaper truck early in the morning would drop the newspapers off. Remember that?
Oh yeah. I haven't seen a newspaper truck in forever. Never again. Maybe like 25 years.
Probably won't. You seen somebody deliver milk? You seen that?
No, never been alive for that. No milkman. No milkman. Those milkmen were dangerous out in the communities. Okay. Those milkman, you take a lot of DNA tests.
They're popular, huh? They deliver more than milk. Oh my God. It's like, Hey, where's your husband?
He's at work. Great. Well, here's your milk. Goodbye. Oh man. How do I Hickey?
How do I have a job? Goodness gracious. Don't answer that. Oh man.
Oh man. Uh, anyway, we can pose the same question to guys like Anthony Richardson and Dan. How did these guys got jobs? I mean, Daniel Jones got a job. They're paying him $14 million a year to throw a ball to the wrong team. Must be nice.
And another world. I'm going to come back as a being six foot five and I don't know, two 20 and making mistakes. Let's see if I can make 14 mill a year. It must be nice. It's the JR sport pre-show on the infinity sports network.
Eight five five two one two 42 27. We're going to take a break and we come back. Daniel Jones got a job. I'm going to tell you about some of the NFL players, some of these free agents that still don't have a job.
We'll get into that. 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 speaking of a job, I think it's time for one of the, well, I'm going to tell you about Tiger Woods. Does he still have a job? Can he compete at his job? Is he healthy enough to show up to work and doesn't appear so he's getting ready for work and he's getting hurt in the process.
We got more to do. It's the JR sport pre-show the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief, the JR sport pre-show on the infinity sports network. Eight five five two one two 42 27.
That's eight five five two one two 42 27. DeAndre Hopkins on his way to the Baltimore Ravens, a one year deal, $6 million. Lamar Jackson has another weapon to get the ball to. We know he's going to be 33 years old by the time week one rolls around.
He's not the same player that he used to be. He is one of the one that has been one of the most short handed wide receivers in the league over the past decade. And so DeAndre Hopkins adding some some versatility, a veteran weapon to the Ravens.
It's needed. We know Zay Flowers is going to be number one and you still have Andrews and Hopkins might have a resurgence. He may not have the big numbers and his 10 catches in a game and nine catches.
But when he gets the rock, he's going to go out there and make some noise. Last week, as I gave you a top six list of the best wide receivers that would be available. DeAndre Hopkins, he was on that list. You think about some of the other available wide receivers. Amari Cooper is still available. We still have Stefan Diggs available coming off of that ACL tear.
And you know what? Speaking of Stefan Diggs, Maurice Jones Drew was on the NFL Network yesterday and he made up, he actually had a great point. Stefan Diggs would be great opposite Jackson Smith and Jigba playing in Seattle. Listen to what Maurice Jones Drew had to say. To me, it's just Seattle Seahawks. Makes sense. We talked about they need a guy, right?
You only have JSN there. You bring in Sam Darnold. Well, guess who was with Clint Kubiak in Minnesota in 2019? The year when he really took off before he went to Buffalo and was traded, right?
Stefan Diggs, get back into that system where you were the man, you were dominating, you were finding those windows. To me, I believe if you add him with JSN in that running game, now all of a sudden, this offense is starting to look like it needs to. The other team I would say too would be the San Francisco 49ers, but you would have two guys coming off of knee injuries in that situation as well. No, no, no, no, no, no. He don't need to be in the 49ers.
No, no, no, no, no. Stay away from that one. Go to Seattle.
And he was hanging out with Cardi B or at least there were a Valentine's video of them hanging out. Take Cardi B with you to Seattle. I'm sure she'd love it up there.
I'm sure she'd love it. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. We got Jay calling from Houston, Texas. You're on the JR Sport re-show. What's up, Jay?
What's going on, Jay? Hey, first, man, that join the circus line was crazy. Let me, uh, he does backflips.
He does backflips. I'm still laughing. I'm still laughing about that. Anyway, look, man, uh, I heard the, uh, the, uh, the Hopkins move is trashed in me, man. It's straight up trashed. I'm originally from Baltimore.
I live in Houston now. No, that, that, that, uh, Hopkins thing is trashed. There's no separation left. I don't know why they didn't go after DK Metcalf. Um, he costs, he costs money. You saw how much money they gave that man. 30 mill a year costs money. That's what the NFL is now.
That's what you have to do. You still have a salary cap. You got a salary cap, Jay. They got to go to Lamar. They got to tell him restructure. They got to be, they got to move Humphrey. Humphrey could go, but look, let me, let me move on to the, to the next thing. You and the guy from Jacksonville said that, um, what the Ravens have to do to go past Buffalo. The Ravens are already better than Buffalo. You know what, they flowers didn't play that game.
And to me that made all of, all of the difference right there. Well, I brought up the point of, I got, I actually talked about the guys who played, like if Mark Andrews caught a, caught a pass. Mark Andrews is trashed. Mark Andrews is good. Mark Andrews dropped passes all the time. I watched all of the Ravens games. When the fans normally see, and you could see it cause you know, you, it's just Jay.
He drops passes every game. That's nothing new. Jay. The reality is the Buffalo bills beat the Ravens.
That's it. It don't matter. It don't matter what you think via roster construction, who the better team is. This is you as a Ravens fan should know this. Hold on, Jay. It's it's real simple with the Baltimore Ravens. We've gotten the same thing every year. Like I don't need no, it's not coaching.
No, it's not coaching. They hold on. Damn Jay. Damn. Damn Jay. Hold on.
I have to put you on hold. Damn. Jay.
Damn. Give me a break. Hold on a second.
I need to take a breath. I didn't get a word in. It's not coaching. Harbaugh has built the entire team. And I think maybe rightfully so given the talent that he has a Lamar Jackson around Lamar. It's it.
It is March 11th. If I never, ever said another word about the Ravens between now and September, I think I'd be justified because nobody cares. And to be quite frank and to be honest, outside of watching, just to see what they do, if you're a Ravens fan outside of making it through the season healthy, and maybe we're on the up and up, the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills are in the same damn spot. Who cares what they do? Unless they're just stripping the team bear and ripping everything apart. Who cares when it comes to the bills and it comes to the Ravens?
Let me know what you do in January. And so the gentleman who called from Jacksonville, rightfully so he said, I want to know what we can do to finally, you know, get beat, beat Buffalo and this and that. It's like, man, y'all in the same boat running the same race. And maybe the Kansas City Chiefs have taken a step back, you know, given everything that's going on with them, but that the Kansas City Chiefs, y'all got to get past them. So don't worry about being better. How you're better than Buffalo.
Who cares? You both have been in second place for the past few years. You both can't get past Kansas City. And it's just like, let's slow down. I don't want to say it's like two ugly people trying to have an out ugly duel, but there's no, there's no big difference here.
Two ugly people shouting at each other. Does that make sense, Jay? Now you know what? I totally agree with you on that.
They are in the same boat and they do have to get past Kansas City. Well, we got, we got to, well, hold on, Jay. We got, we got some news I got to get to, and then they're going to tell me to shut up soon. Okay. All right. All right. Thank you, Jay, for calling from Houston.
I got to shut up too, every now and then. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport re-show here with you on the infinity sports network. Joey Bosa. He's now remember the Buffalo bills. One year contract instead of playing for his brother. I guess they're just like, damn, we fired everybody.
I ain't getting no job up here. He's going to Buffalo. Now the biggest question is whether or not he stays healthy because Joey Bosa guy had five sacks and nine games last year. He has just been injured at every chance and opportunity and how he performs up in Buffalo.
When it gets cold outside. I mean, the guy couldn't stay healthy in California. I'm supposed to think he's going to be healthy in Buffalo. This is all good. If he's healthy.
Okay. I could see him out in the snow. I pulled the calf. I pulled the hamstring Buffalo bills. They brought him in and hopefully he stays healthy.
8 5 5 2 1 2 40 2 27. Randy is actually here from Buffalo. You're on the JR sport brief show. What's up, Randy?
They are my man. I'm glad I'm calling in right now. It's the perfect timing. I got a few quick statements I want to make, but then I'll ask you a question.
First things first. I typically work midnight. So I always remember back in the day, you'd be on that like 10 to two shift, right? So 10 o'clock till 2 a.m. If I remember then back in the day and a couple of years ago.
Yes. Couple of years ago. I just want to say, I miss your brother. I miss hearing you there in those midnight hours, man. He used to get me through the night, but I also want to say to you back then five bag scene with that at peak when you were at five magazine way back in the day. I used to read those articles all the time when you were with them.
So, Oh, I didn't write the articles. I just helped throw the parties, man. It was all good though.
That that's when they were, you know, they were at their, their, their top and you were over there, but they had this joy, Joey both the news, you just, well blow me out the water. What, uh, they are going to ask what, what exactly are we getting here? Well, if the guy's fully healthy, is it something that's going to be good or what? If, if he's healthy, but, uh, you know, I don't want to be a Debbie downer or not like that.
My apologies to anybody out there named Debbie. Uh, you know, it's just, he's always hurt. And I'm supposed to think that him playing outside in Buffalo. Yeah.
Maybe September, October to be fine. But by the time we get to December and the turf is hard and you got to run in the snow, man, they're going, they're going to monitor his snaps. So let's, let's be, uh, they're going to treat him with kid gloves. Let's just put it that way. I'm not mad at the move, but they're not going to run them into the ground.
I got you Jr. So just to mention off though, the last caller who had that whole debacle about the bills and the, the Ravens dilemma, just real quick. Now, you know, they'll throw a little piece like Joey both on their say, he's healthy. He's healthy going into January. Do you think we possibly could be looking at a new number one team in the AFC?
I'll hang up and listen to your brother. Oh, of course, Randy. The possibility is there all the time. There's always a possibility that the Buffalo bills could be number one. The chiefs can do it every year, right? I mean, have we seen peak Kansas city chiefs as a possibility, but it ain't nothing guaranteed.
Let's put it that way. Eventually somebody else has to emerge out of the AFC. We've seen it happen with the bangles. And so why can't it be the Buffalo bills or the Ravens eventually one of those teams is they ultimately have to break through.
We'll see how long it takes. And speaking of breaking through and breaking injuries and guys being hurt, man, when I heard this earlier today, I had to go down again. Tiger woods needs Achilles surgery. This man, he hurt himself training at home.
This is when you know, you need to quit. This is what I heard earlier today on CBS sports HQ. And we're still following that breaking news out of golf where Tiger woods has suffered a ruptured Achilles and will be out indefinitely.
The 15 time major champion underwent surgery this morning in West Palm beach to repair that injury with some playing at TGL over the past few months, but hasn't participated in a PGA tour event since the open back in July of last year. Come on, man. Stay home. Like coach your son. Stay home.
Like there's no LeBron James here. Okay. Just stay home. And I know it as golf. You don't have to retire. You could play on a senior circuit, man.
You could be out there swinging them clubs until there's no more swinging. Okay. Just, just he's prepared for the masters. Oh, come on. The only green jacket that Tiger woods is going to get is the same one I get.
If I got to buy it from the store, there's no, there's no more green jackets. Stop it. Tiger woods is old. Oh man. They're not speaking old. Unfortunately, this man passed away. Junior Richmond. I heard that in the newsflash 71 years old.
This man was played for the bucks and he made, I think he wasn't making $30,000 a year for the Milwaukee bucks. And he ended up being a billionaire. The story is amazing. God bless. God rest his soul. Junior Bridgman passing away at 71 years old.
Here's the deal. He made less than $3 million playing 12 seasons in the NBA. He went on to own 450 restaurants. He passed away with a net worth of almost one and a half billion dollars. Also had a minority portion of the bucks.
And that's an amazing story. And Charles Barkley, he was on club Shay Shay with, uh, Shannon Sharp. And he talked about how low key he was about his money and his moves. He made a whole lot of something out of nothing, relatively speaking.
Listen to this. Probably being the first billionaire athlete, to be honest with you for a guy who didn't make a ton of money. That's what's so impressive. He didn't have the name, didn't have the name to learn how to handle business.
And he's probably got 500 to a thousand restaurants now and like does is so low key does it so low key, like every time around here, I try to pick his brain because to, to, to be a businessman in our day and become a billionaire, you are great at business, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Hickey. We still got a chance to sell air, man. We still got a chance. We got a few of those ideas out there that I think could be billion dollar ideas. No hyperbole is selling air. We got to sell air.
A lot of places could use that. We can sell air too. Well, we can sell. Well, Hickey, we got America first, right?
And how it goes now, right? That's right. America first. We got to sell air to America. And then we can, we sell air to China. They, I mean, they definitely could use America's air. They need air, right? They fresh air. They got a lot of air over there. They need some fresh air. You send it.
Well, there's a lot of places. We just got to worry about the, the tariffs now. Right. And we got to worry about, we're good. Right.
Sending it out. It's not the problem. Well, the tariff war now. Okay. That's true. We're going to have to upcharge for our air, clean air.
Well, most focus on like LA, like California could, you know, use. No, no, no. Hickey. I got a better idea now. Okay. Novelty.
You ready for this? Very. We have to sell New York City subway air across the world. Bottle it up. Novelty gift. And like gift shops, like the same places that sell like the, I love New York or I heart New York shirts.
I, you know what? No, just, just, just as like a tour. Well, you want to sell it in New York city for the tourists. Take back your subway air, take it back home. Right.
I think that's actually a good idea. Let's bottle up the air in the subway. Which station do you want to go to? Ooh, 34th street, Tom square. I was going to say time square.
Let's go to 42nd street. You know, there's, there's a good mix there of chaos. You know, you got a good stench in the air.
It's that that's true. New York right there. Selling air coming soon from the summertime, by the way, has to be from the, Oh my God.
So that air is a hundred degrees. It's going to have a rat disease in it. Oh yeah. Smell like pizza and must.
You can tell your friends about it, right? Oh, I went to New York city on this. You should have smelled the subway. Well, guess what?
No more shoulda. I brought it back to you. Here it is. Now you can like, you could tell your friends you're in New York herself. Take a whiff. Yeah. Smell this air.
I like that idea a lot. I do. All those gift shops right around time square.
Let's go to, you know, Rockefeller center. Yeah. Wow.
Right where the tourists go. I think this is a G that's this might be number one on the list. It might be. Let's speak. Damn it. You know what? Speaking of air, this is a terrible transition. Oh my God. You can't make this stuff up.
I don't do it on purpose. I really don't. Please believe me.
Speaking of selling air, clean air or dirty air, prepare yourselves. It's time for a few things. Well, damn it. Just, just time for one thing that took place this day in sports history is not going to be good. 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. 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. Oh my goodness. Speaking of selling air, if Hickey and I could sell clean air a couple of years ago, we would be billionaires today because on March 11th, 2020. Oh my God.
This is just brings back horrible memories. The NBA shut down like a lot of things in the world. Rudy Gobert was joking about COVID he's touching stuff. And then lo and behold, Rudy Gobert. Well, uh, jazz. Okay. See canceled because Rudy Gobert got COVID.
I want to take you back to look reluctantly, take you back to March 11, 2020. This is Wojo on ESPN. Rudy Gobert has tested positive for the coronavirus. Uh, that was learned in Oklahoma city prior to that game between the jazz and the thunder right now, the thunder and jazz I'm told are both quarantined in that arena. And the NBA has made the decision. They have just announced that they are suspending play finishing after tonight's games. They're going to let tonight's games finish, but starting tomorrow, NBA play is suspended. And then the league is going to use that hiatus to decide their next steps, how they'll go forward.
But this is the last night of NBA games for the foreseeable future. Man, man, I don't want to think about nothing else that happened that year. They started in the bubble, July 22nd Lakers won the finals, October and October, the Lakers won the final. And I remember this. I was in, I was in, I was doing NBA TV at the time. I wasn't even here on, uh, the infinity sports now.
Right. I wasn't even here yet. Or was I here? No. Was I here? No, I wasn't here yet. What year is this?
Picky? What year is this again? 2025. Oh yeah, no, I wasn't here yet. I must've started. Yeah. Yeah.
Cause I started like a couple of weeks after this, I was sitting in the NBA TV studio getting ready to go on TV. They said, but go home. I'm like, damn, go home. And they shut that studio down.
I saw the inside of my four walls of my house for the longest. Damn. Damn.
Picky. We got to sell that air. Okay.
Forget Bill. I think we could have been trillionaires if this idea was born five years ago. Oh, we would have been, we would have been sending people to Mars ourselves. Okay. Space JR. Yeah.
Well, not, it's not space. JR is selling air. Come on, bro.
I said, we still got a chance. We got to sell air in specific cities too. No. Miami air put a couple of, uh, you know, beach particles in it.
Uh, Oh, I can get the club smell in Miami, you know, going to the club before I am just out of that up. I was going to say something that would definitely get me in fired. Uh, I won't say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm going to say it. Uh, I won't say that.
Okay. Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It smelled like the club.
What would Buffalo smell like? Chicken wings. That's it. Yeah. We got an idea. We got an idea. We got a sauce.
Yeah. Let me write this one down. This is pretty good. So what do we use? Scented air scented air Philly. We got, you know, we'll go to a kitchen of a Philly cheesesteak store.
Oh my God. We got to find a scientist. Now, Hickey, you got to make this air because of course it's going to be fake. It's not going to be real air, but most cases, right?
I guess I don't know. Well, I was going to say, why not just have, you know, you know, older people or people that need help have a breathing tubes ready for this flavor there. You want them to breathe flavored air, whatever they want. If they want it, they want to breathe Philly cheesesteak air. We can provide it to them. You're doing too much now. I think this is where we take off. Okay. We're going to make some money.
We won't, we won't be here tomorrow cause we're going to make some money. You've been listening to the JR sport reshow on the infinity sports network. If you missed a minute or a second hit rewind on the free odyssey app. And thank you to Pete. Thank you to max. We had NFL players here, Bart Winkler coming up next. Thank you. Hickey don't move.
