Top 6 List: Biggest Crybabies In Sports (Hour 3)

It is the JR Sportbrief show here with you on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in all over North America, my people at home, my people on the road, my people at work. You're leaving, you're going, you're coming, you're staying. Thank you for being here.

I'll be here for the next two hours. This show gets started every weekday, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. Thank you to super producer and host Ryan Hickey holding it down for us in New York City. We appreciate you for being here. If nobody told you thank you today, thank you.

Really, thank you. Anyway, today's the first day of the league year in the NFL. The league year officially got started at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Aaron Rodgers still doesn't have a job. Russell Wilson still doesn't have a job. At least Russell Wilson is looking. Come on, Russell Wilson is a proactive type of fella. This man is going to go meet with the Cleveland Browns and then he's going to meet with the Browns and then he's going to meet with the Giants. That's Russell Wilson has taken a beating and you know he's flying on a private jet to do this too. Man is spending like, I don't know, $250,000. I don't know, maybe he got a deal.

That's a lot of money just to meet with a bunch of losers. Anyway, I hope you're having a better Wednesday. In about five minutes from now, maybe less than that, it is Wednesday.

Every single Wednesday I bring you a new top six list. I know Alan in Toronto is at the edge of his seat in America. Hickey, you think he's in America or in Toronto right now? He's probably in Canada, right? I think so, yeah. He never, he comes to America a lot but he always calls the thing from Canada.

I could be wrong. He's called me before from Florida. I had to go, what?

Whoa. I think it said Alan in Florida. I said Alan from Florida.

He's like, this is Alan. I'm like, from Toronto? He said, yeah, but I'm in Florida. Like, whoa, you drove?

He's like, yeah, I drove. I can see that. That's about a 24-hour drive probably.

Oh man. Yeah, it takes about that much from New York, doesn't it, right? Almost 18 hours, 19 hours? Yeah, something like that.

I guess depends where you're going in Florida, but wow. Long trip. I don't know. Hopefully Alan isn't beefing with us, you know?

Her Canadians have been angry at us for a while now, okay? I don't know. You think Alan will call us? I think so. I think in about 20 minutes we can expect Alan in Toronto talking about some diva who complains at a million miles an hour. So he's not going to call and boo us? I don't think so, no.

Alan seems above that. Okay, just making sure. They were booing the national anthem, okay? But that was hockey. Oh, I get it. Competition. Right. No competition here.

Just everything is friendly. Friend's banter. Yeah, but there used to be a guy who called from Toronto. That guy was a pain in the ass.

I cannot remember that guy's name. That guy called up and I'm like, yo, why do you want to fight me every day? Like, what am I doing? Just sitting here talking about sports.

Why do you want to fight me? This is not first take. Was Skip Bayless on first take? It was originally him, right?

Yeah, I think him and Stephen A were the OGs. Yeah. Like, man, this ain't first take. You don't got to call and yell at me every day. Damn. Give me a break.

Anyway, we talked about a lot. Ryan Clark was on ESPN. He's like, oh, 49ers need to get rid of Christian McCaffrey. I'm like, who wants him? Who wants that guy at $20 million? 49ers are stuck. Even if they wanted to get rid of him, they can't. Talked about how the Bears are doing better.

Good for them. We discussed Shaquille O'Neal not knowing anything going on in the NBA. He thought Chauncey Billups was the Pistons head coach. And Chauncey Billups has been coaching in Portland for about two years now.

Been a while. And by the way, he hasn't been a coach in Detroit since he played in Detroit, like 20 years ago. Cooper Cup officially released from the Los Angeles Rams.

Rico Daddle. This man is now a Carolina Panther. I guess him and Chuba Hubbard are going to share carries until Chuba Hubbard exits the building.

But it is a one year contract. We'll see how things go. Talked about Joey Bosa now with the Buffalo Bills, DeAndre Hopkins to the Ravens is just a bunch of good teams trying to get better, ultimately trying to get to the Super Bowl and win. We'll see. And then I mentioned Russell Wilson.

This man is taking trips to Cleveland and the New York Giants. Maybe he's trying to. Hey, if I get on a plane, if there's a root, Hickey, do you think he? Well, I guess he did. Right.

Word gets out. I was going to say, do you even think he got on the plane or is he just leaking this to scare the Steelers? Now we finally retract is like playing all of a sudden is just still parked wherever he keeps it. He's not even actually in the building. He never left. That plane is still in Los Angeles somewhere, whatever the hell he's staying, you know, come on. But they'll find out.

Be like, somebody makes this is one phone call. Did Russell Wilson come visit you guys? No. Oh, he's lying. OK, all right.

We're not going to move anyway. We'll see what the Steelers do. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. In a few minutes, I'm going to share with you a new top six list. We're going to take a look at some of the biggest crybabies in the world of sports today. There's just so much complaining on podcasts and microphones and locker rooms. I'm sick of it.

I really am. And I'm going to tell you, I'm going to call out a few people that just don't shut the hell up. I'm like, man, y'all make all this money.

What is this? So miserable about the media. We find something better to do, miserable about each other. The top six list of crybabies in sports is coming your way in a second. Dan is here from Wisconsin. What's up, Dan? Hey, I am.

I'm one of those few people that are actually commissioner of the NCAA tournament that, you know, selection Sunday comes out and I got to put the sheets out. Wow. Amazing. How much are you getting? None of my business, none of my business, but go ahead. That's fun. What else is next?

What else you got? Well, okay. I work at a convent that takes care of retired sisters, which your listeners would call nuns.

Yeah, I know nuns. Yeah. So we, obviously it's not real gambling.

The facility basically gives certificates, right? What? You help nuns gamble on basketball? Well, they, oh man, you wouldn't believe how they talk about sports and gambling.

They ask you about the lines all the time. What's that nun in Chicago? What's her name? Sister Jean. Remember her?

Was it Loyola? She's a nun, right? Yeah. Oh, they're into it. But anyway, I do it. And the first year I had to get people into it, right? And there's no money upfront by any of the employees or the nuns. We give them money, but I jotted down like five of them real quick.

And so the people I'm trying to convince to play to get some people for the next year, this will be our third year. What about the whole country, Dan? We want to do the top six list. What do you got to tell us about the whole country? Not the nuns. Come on. Oh man, I don't know anything. Okay. So let me, so do me a favor.

Let me do the top six crybabies in sports and then call me back after. Okay. I do love nuns. I love a good nun, but not right now. Okay. Okay, Dan, I'll be back.

Dan loves a good nun too. Anyway, it's time for a top six list. These are big old crybabies in sports. I can't stand them.

They're getting on my nerves. Six, five, four, three, two, one. It's time to get JR's latest top six list only on the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport brief show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. Oh, this is going to be fun. I hope it's fun. I'm going to get a few things off my chest. I talk for a living. I'm not, I'm not making Tom Brady money, but I talk for a living. It's my job to talk and have fun and talk about sports.

Fine. It's my job. It's what I get paid for. The other peoples that get, they get paid to play or coach, but some of these individuals just, they just go on and on and on. You would think that they got the worst job in the world, complaining and whining and crying and boo-hooing and why this and why that.

It's annoying. And so today, inspired by every individual on this list, I had to think deep and sometimes not so deep about the biggest crybabies in sports today. It's a top six list, which means we start with this number right here. Number six.

This is an easy one. I got to get him the hell up on out the way. Anthony Rendon.

Oh yeah. He's not just one of the highest paid guys in all of sports. He's not just one of the most injury prone guys in sports.

He is just, he's a, he's a whining crybaby too. Remember he tried to punch that fan. He tried to punch a fan in spring training. Remember that time he told everybody that, you know, baseball isn't like a priority.

It's not the number one priority. Remember that? Well, I want to remind you, you may not have ever even heard this, but last year, Anthony Rendon sat on the Jack Vita show and he was asked what he wanted to change about the game of baseball. And sure people may hate the pitch clock or the bases are too big now. And no Anthony Rendon, who is making ungodly amounts of money here with the angels. There's one thing he wants to change about baseball. By the way, he's always hurt. The guy just had hip surgery. Anthony Rendon wanted to change this.

Listen to this. We got to start in the season, man. It's too many dang games, 162 games in 185, three days, whatever it is, man. No, we got to shorten this bad boy up.

Let's go. The man is making $245 million. He never plays baseball and he wants to shorten the season. That's something I complain about and I don't even play.

Like I don't mind the 162. I just can't imagine going out there and playing every day. That's a part of why you get paid, man.

You're a part of the entertainment. Give the money back. If the baseball season is too long and by the way, you never play. This guy's getting paid $245 million to rehab. Just last year, he played in 57 games, hit zero home runs.

That's the same amount of home runs I hit last year, zero, and had a batting average of 218. That's pathetic. You want to talk about a crybaby? Baseball will be better when he finally disappears, which he's already done, except for when he opens up his mouth and complains. Anthony Rendon, one of the biggest crybabies in sports right now.

They say there's no crying in baseball unless it's him. He's at number six. What's next?

Number five. Top six crybabies in sports. We got to go to college football. This is a grown man. All he does is whine and cry. He's a coach. He's a coach in the SEC, and he doesn't just cry. This guy will complain at press conferences. This guy will go on Twitter and complain.

I'm like, man, don't you got something better to do? It's Lane Kiffin, the head coach of Ole Miss. What is he complaining about now? The college football playoff. Well, we playing the SEC and, you know, we're better than all these other bum teams getting in from these other conferences and the college football playoff is crap. And why can't we get it?

It's just a mess. I mean, he actually tweeted this out on one of the selection Sundays. He's like, he's talking about the committee. You guys actually meet for days and come up with these rankings.

He put this on X. He added the college football playoff committee like a teenage girl. He goes, do you actually watch the quality of players, teams and road environments or just try and make the ACC feel relevant? Like this is a head coach in the SEC acting like some, I don't know, a little boy in a basement. Like he's a head coach.

And then when you get him in front of a microphone, he's no better. This is from back in December, Lane Kiffin, bigging up the SEC and saying, Hey, all these other teams and the conferences, the ACC and Mountain West, they suck. What about us? Listen to this. It's why it's just different. It's just totally different in these comparisons of other conferences and ACC and big 12. I mean, it's just like, it's, you might as well be in different leagues, not conferences, different leagues, you know, like here's the NFL, here's the SEC, here's those few big 10 teams, and then here's everybody else. So you're going to see it in the draft, you know, it'll be different. Like it always is with the SEC, the amount of kids drafted out of here and there. And, and so it's really a bad system.

Here you go. You got me going. It's just a bad system.

It's a bad system. Well, man, maybe Ole Miss would, would make the playoff if you consistently beat the teams that are better than you in the SEC. It's like the, like the Baltimore Ravens or the Buffalo Bills complaining, oh, we play the AFC. We got to beat the chiefs and oh, we should automatically go to the Super Bowl because no, stop it, man.

Georgia, Tennessee, and then Texas when you mad at Texas, join the SEC. I'm sure he is. He's always complaining like he's in middle school.

There's a grown man. Stop it. Lane Kiffin, one of the top crybabies in sports. I got him number five on the list. What's next?

Number four. Oh man, we're going from bad to worse. You thought Lane Kiffin was bad. Imagine if Lane Kiffin actually won a championship. Imagine if Lane Kiffin won two championships. Imagine if Lane Kiffin was requested to come back to the NFL, not the Raiders, but to coach, I don't know, the Patriots. And number four on the list, I got Dan Hurley because this is basically what happened to him.

This man won two titles at Yukon. This man was offered a job by the Los Angeles Lakers and Dan Hurley has let it all completely go to the top of his head. He is unbearable.

Complaining about referees, complaining about officials, complaining to his players, complaining about calls, complaining about everything. Do you remember earlier this year, Dan Hurley was unhappy with a call and had the temerity to look at a referee and go, hey, do you know who I am? Don't turn your back on me. I won two championships.

Do you remember this man had the nerve to say that? Don't turn your back on me. I'm a champion. I'm the best coach in the business. He said this to a referee in a game.

And by the way, Yukon is not that good this year. So shut up just a little bit. Nobody cares about your two titles, OK?

Clinging is in the NBA somewhere blocking shots. Dan Hurley back in January was asked about just berating this official. Do you know who I am? Listen to this crap.

You know, I'm going to sound like an asshole here. The TV likes me, camera. I just wish they put the camera on the other coach more. You know, obviously, I had a moment with coach dad, Mona today, because he was so far out of the box that I figure I would just go over and have a pow wow at him and Pat, you know, but like I just wish they would show these other coaches losing their minds at the officials in other Big East games that I'm coaching, where I look going into a time out when I'm not talking to officials.

I see the other coaches as clips of me from a game and they look how big the monster he is. He's yelling at a ref again. What a monster.

Oh, my goodness. How sarcastic. He is snarky. He is smarmy.

He's all of it. At this point, I wish he would have gone to the Lakers. He would have been eaten alive with a Los Angeles Lakers. And then at that point, maybe he would have been humble. He's not a dummy.

Maybe he would have been smart enough to shut up. But this is why he stayed at UConn so he could just bully around refs and yell at everybody. Do you know who I am? I won two championships. I'm the best coach in the business.

Man, that stinks. He's so damn good. Then then why is your team about to probably get bounced out of the tournament? Good luck in the start of the Big East tomorrow.

Good luck with that one. UConn ain't winning again. These will get a chance to shut up. We won't have to hear from him real soon. Dan Hurley number four on my list. We're talking about the top six crybabies in sports. What's next?

Number three. Oh, man, it's LeBron James. OK, it's LeBron.

I got LeBron in number three on the list. Now, I wouldn't even necessarily put LeBron James in the crybaby category. I know we see in the games, you know, you may be flopping around here and there trying to draw calls, but the fact that he's he's he actually complained about his son went up to Stephen A. Smith during a basketball game, walked out of the huddle, got off of the bench, got in his guy's face like you, the one who brought all of this upon yourself. You're the one who told he put out a whole tweet about his son was better than half the NBA. It still exists.

You can look at it today. You did all that yapping and talking about your boy. And then when the criticism came, you just like let him just play basketball guys.

OK, like you can't have it both ways. And maybe it's different because it's his son. LeBron James has been in the public spotlight for about a quarter of a century. OK, three quarters of his life. The guy's been famous.

But the fact is, you should know better, man. I get it. It's your son. It's your boy. But LeBron just let Bronny play. You're the one who hyped him up. And now he didn't play up to it.

We didn't expect anything else. Now you got to shut up. Don't yell at Stephen A. Smith. Don't yell at Stephen A. Smith about it.

And then LeBron even complained about the face of the league like LeBron. Stop complaining. You're a billionaire.

The world is at your fingertips. Just relax. This is what he said around All-Star when Anthony Edwards said, I don't want to be face of the league. LeBron is blaming the media and everybody else. Listen, why do you want to be the face of the league when all the all the people that, you know, that cover our game and talk about our game on a day to day basis on everybody and say, you know, I mean, obviously I didn't ask for it, but I knew it was a responsibility for me, not only to my family, my friends, my community and whoever that was going to follow my my my journey throughout my career, not only in Ohio when I started there, but all over America and all over the world when I travel all over the world. So I've always taken that seriously and understand and understood from the beginning what being a professional is all about and being a role model is all about. Yeah, I didn't want to be the face of the league, but I am the face of the league. I understand what it means to be the face of league, but why would anybody want to be the face? Man, just relax.

Things are good for you, bro. This guy's going to retire, have every record in the NBA. He's going to play for 50 million years and people are putting him in the same space of Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan was better. But come on now. Stop complaining, man. Embrace all of the positivity that's there. I'm standing up for your son.

You put your son in this position, LeBron. Stop complaining. It's the J.R. Sportbree show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We're going to take a break. And when we come back.

I'm going to share with you. The number one and number two crybabies. In the world of sports today, number two and number one on the other side of the break is the J.R. Sportbree show, the Infinity Sports Network. You're listening to the J.R. Sportbree. It is the J.R. Sportbree show on the Infinity Sports Network, eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven.

That's eight five five two one two forty two twenty seven. I am in the midst of a new top six list, as I do every single Wednesday. And today I'm sharing with you the top six crybabies.

In the world of sports like right now, today. I only got two more people left on the list. The number six, I gave you Anthony Rendon, who is once again unavailable for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. What a dumb, long, stupid name. He's out with left hip surgery and he's always hurt.

But I remember last year this guy sat around and he said, oh, yeah, if there was one thing I wanted to change about the baseball season, it'd be the length of it. I brought you don't ever play what you complaining about. It's just a thief.

You're a crook. I had him in number six and number five, Lane Kiffin. Man, I sure he got his phone in his hands right now, getting ready to complain about something. Here's a college head coach just on Twitter, on X complaining college football playoff this. Why don't you beat somebody worth it in the SEC?

Stop complaining. And before I gave you Dan Hurley, another coach, I'm a two time champion. Do you know who I am? Don't turn your back on me. Oh, that's so sad.

I wish they wouldn't always put the camera on me. Oh, just be quiet, man. He's the worst type of champion. This is a guy who wins the Wreck League championship at your local YMCA, and he's showing up the next day with a I don't know, a towel on his neck and a championship rings like, bro, we playing football.

We're playing in a Y. Act like you better than everybody. He's an NCAA champion, but you ain't better than nobody. Shut up.

Cry, baby. And number three, I gave you LeBron James. LeBron, why is he on this list? He hyped up his son. He picked up his son.

He got his son a job and then is upset when people verbally call him out for it. Come on, LeBron. Like, you can't do that. You can't hype up your kid and then complain when people get after him. You can't do that. LeBron James, a crybaby about his son.

It's reality. If I got LeBron James at number three. Who's a bigger crybaby than LeBron James? What number are we up to?

Number two. It's the man that LeBron James confronted. I got Steven A. Smith at number two on my list of crybabies.

Come on now. Steven A. Smith gets paid a lot of money to talk. We found out he's getting 20 million dollars a year to talk. It's his job. God bless him. It's good for him. 20 million a year to talk. But there comes a point in time where it's just like, bro, you are dragging this LeBron James stuff.

You are dragging it into the ground. Just like, stop. Steven A. Smith had an opportunity and he said it last week. LeBron James came up to me and he confronted me as a father, not as a basketball player. I understood it. Remember, I was a basketball player. I understood it. Remember what Steven A. said this last week about the confrontation with LeBron?

And people have said to me today that I'm looking pretty damn sad. I'll fess up. I am. Because something like that is not something that should make any of us comfortable. I didn't anticipate it. I don't know why I didn't anticipate it, but I'm not here to blame LeBron James. That wasn't a basketball player talking to me last night. That was a dad. He rolled up on me as a father.

That's what he did. That was not a basketball player talking to me. I understand it. I respect it as a parent.

I'm a father of two daughters. And in all honesty, I couldn't definitively tell you that if I were LeBron James, I would not have done the same thing. Oh, okay, fine. That was Steven A. Smith last week.

That's him last week. He's like, oh, LeBron came up to me. Talk about his dad. Well, since then, there was there was audio of LeBron James going up to Richard Jefferson telling Richard Jefferson, hey, you know what? It was fine. You say whatever.

But you know about me and me and me being a father and this and that. And so Steven A. Smith now took the opportunity. And somebody called last week was like, I'm disappointed in Steven A. He basically, you know, bent over backwards for LeBron James.

He should have just he backed down a little bit. Well, that was last week. Well, hearing what LeBron said to Richard Jefferson about, yeah, you kind of questioned me as a dad. Steven A. Smith was sitting around on Gilbert Arenas' show, which is a terrible thing. And Steven A. Smith sounded like a completely different human being with this new information.

Listen to this. You said you f***ing with my son. I wasn't. I was talking about you. I was talking about you. I wasn't about your son.

I know he's number 55. I ain't rooting against nobody. But I was talking about your ass. You. You did this. You're the one that had us as reporters, as a league, as an NBA franchise.

All of us got to sit back and be quiet and capitulate to your s***. Come on now. You did that. Whoa. That's very different than what we heard last week, isn't it?

The many faces of Steven A. Smith. Listen, how angry. Picky, let's hear again how he was he was angry yesterday and last week he was sad. You said you f***ing with my son. I wasn't. I was talking about you. I was talking about you. I wasn't about your son.

I know he's number 55. Oh, yeah, that's enough. It's just angry. Last week, he was sad. Just sad. Sad man. Enough. Enough.

Steven A. Smith is going to beat this into the ground. What are we going to do? Get a special episode of the shop from LeBron James about this, too?

Like what do we do? Leave it alone. Like LeBron James was right there in front of your face and you decided not to do anything because you didn't want to jeopardize your new 20 million dollar contract. What were you going to do? Yell back at LeBron James? You could have yelled back at him. Don't talk to me like that.

Who are you talking to? You decided not to do nothing. And so now don't talk tough sitting with Gilbert Arenas. Don't be a crybaby, man. Shut up about it.

You had your chance, your opportunity to discuss and retort. LeBron James didn't want to hear it. The six foot nine guy shut you down. Don't cry. Steven A. Smith, who would have thought? I got him at number two on my list. Top six crybabies in sports right now. Give me a break.

Enough. Steven A. Smith, number two on the list. If he's number two, this guy seems to be number one on a lot of lists. What was the number?

Number one. We're talking about a crybaby. It's that Aaron Rodgers guy.

OK. The free agent who's just keeping everybody waiting. The free agent, we don't we don't know what he wants to do, where he wants to go. The New York Jets have cut him.

Aaron Rodgers for the first time as a free agent in his career. Is he in a cave? Is he sipping on that that special juice? I don't know what he's doing. He's smoking on that stuff.

I have no idea. But I know he's enjoying every minute of it. This man is so out of the loop. He's he's the biggest distraction on the New York Jets. And he has a podcast every week and tells everybody that they need less distractions.

What? How self-aware is this guy? Aaron Rodgers is pretty funny. Pat McAfee even brought this back up as he's thinking about going to Pittsburgh potentially. From 2021, Aaron Rodgers was sitting with Pat McAfee telling him how much he loves Pittsburgh.

Listen to this. You know, it's a great blue collar town. There's a lot of, you know, a lot of great people that live there.

It's got a lot of history, that city. Mike Tomlin, you know, been there forever. One of the, is he second longest tenured head coach in the league after Bill?

I believe so, yeah. But I have a ton of respect for Mike. I think he's a fantastic coach. I think he's, I love the way that he leads. I love the way he talks after the games. He always seems to keep things, you know, really even-keeled. And, you know, it looks like he's somewhere that the players, players love playing for him.

Yeah. And he has to, you know, keep playing. And he has to figure out whether or not he wants to.

Now he's 41 years old. Do I want to keep playing? Do I want to play with Mike Tomlin? Do I want to retire?

What do I want to do? I don't know. Come on. Doug Whaley used to be the general manager of the Buffalo Bills. Doug Whaley, this man, he's from Pittsburgh and he was on 93.7 a fan earlier today. And he basically explained why Aaron Rodgers is one of the biggest crybabies in the world of sports. Listen to this. If I'm Omar Khan and I'm the Pittsburgh Steelers, one, you shouldn't be surprised.

And two, you have to sit down and really think about, do we want to sign up for this? Because he's setting the table and the precedent early. It's all about Aaron Rodgers. And it has nothing to do with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's going to hold the whole franchise hostage on waiting for him to make a decision. But that's par for the course when you deal with a guy like Aaron Rodgers.

So you have to make sure you really want this not only in your locker room, but to be the face of your franchise. It's not going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers anymore. It's going to be Aaron Rodgers, Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, is that what the Steelers want?

We're about to find out. Aaron Rodgers has been one of the biggest crybabies for years now. From the minute that the Packers selected Jordan Love talking about, I got to sit down and have whiskey and all of this. It's been a crybaby for years. Aaron Rodgers, number one crybaby in the world of sports.

The phone lines are open. That's 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Who is the biggest crybaby?

Who are some of the biggest crybabies in the world of sports? And number six, I gave you Anthony Rendon. And number five, I gave you Lane Kiffin. And number four, I gave you Dan Hurley. And number three, I gave you LeBron James. And number two, I gave you Stephen A. Smith. And number one, I gave you, we don't know where he's going, Aaron Rodgers. I'll get to your calls on the other side. I'm going to get Hickey's thoughts on a crybaby.

Like there got to be more crybabies and sports people whining and complaining and coaches and players, executives, people that just won't give it a break. Get to your calls on the other side. You're listening to the JR Sport Brief.

There's a bunch of whiners and complainers and crybabies in the world of sports right now. And as I do every Wednesday, I just gave you a new top six list. I'll give you a reminder and phone lines open if you want to give me a holler. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227.

Anthony Rendon is number six. Lane Kiffin is five. Dan Hurley is four. LeBron James is three. Steven A. Smith is number two. Aaron Rodgers, chief crybaby. I got him at number one.

855-212-4227. All right, Hickey, did I miss any crybabies? We got a lot of them. We do.

That we do, unfortunately. One, I was a little surprised to not make the list. Luka Doncic, who feels like he makes shots and when he doesn't, he's barking at the refs. He's already got suspended for the amount of technicals he's gotten this season. I thought about Luka Doncic. You see, he's a basketball crybaby.

Like some of these guys I got here on the list, like they go further than in between the lines. I did think about Luka. He got smacked around the other night against the Brooklyn Nets, but is he the biggest winer in the NBA? He's probably supplanted Chris Paul now, right?

I would think so, yeah. It's pretty frequent. When are they going to... Well, I give credit to the refs. What are the referees going to do? They blow the whistle. They give these guys a technical foul. Do they stop at all? They just keep going.

How about this? Bigger fines for the winers. Do they need bigger fines?

Is that what it is? I think it's like 25 for a tech or maybe a couple foul. It's not enough money.

I don't know. Even still, was it 50, 100, maybe? If you just drastically increase it, it could help kind of temper the frustrations and the, I guess, airing of grievances. But these guys making two, 250, I don't know if 100K is going to stop them from letting the refs hear it. Oh, I thought, I mean, the stars are making 50. So first of all, the stars are the ones that are really laying it in and complaining. They're making like $50 million minimum. Yeah, listen to this.

According to AI, I just think this is accurate. Yeah. Technical fouls, you know, they increase in the fine amount. The first five technical fouls, only $2,000.

And so who cares at that point if you're an NBA player? The next tier for technical fouls is six through 10, a $3,000 fine each. By the time you get to technical fouls 11 through 15, it's a $4,000 each. And then by the time you get to 16 fouls, it's $5,000. It's a fine and a one game suspension.

So, and every technical after that is $5,000. So who cares? Like Draymond Green certainly doesn't care. It's just like, and I think he's making only $25 million a year. Like, like big deal. NBA players is certainly out there complaining. Hickey, you know what?

You, you had brought up another one, interestingly. Joel Embiid is a crybaby. Isn't he a big baby? He, he is literally a big baby. Yeah. Like he doesn't complain a lot. Seven foot one.

Why doesn't anybody like me? Why can't I wear MVP? Like it's just, and he doesn't even, what is he doing? Did he, Hickey, did he just have surgery again? Is he gone? What's the deal with him? I, from what I've seen, I think they're still debating it. I don't know what the debate is, but all they do is just prolonging that timeline for him to return next year.

Oh man. Didn't Joel Embiid, he said, why was he angry? He was angry at the media or the fans? Who questioned me? I broke my face. I play like, I remember that, right? That was the, you're talking about the one in September with the, when he's upset with the media member who said he does too much for the city to get criticized? The guy brought up his brother, which understandably he was upset about, but then he went a little bit further and he just like, ah, I do too much for this city.

I play with a broken face. It's just like, all right, bro, just, just, just go play basketball. You know, at least, at least Ben Simmons, Mike, at least he shut up. He put up videos, you know, in the off season. I work out.

People say I don't care, but I'm working out. And Joel Embiid complained. No matter, Hickey, we have Joel Embiid complaining, being a cry baby.

We do. This is from the one back in September, October, when he got upset with the reporter and said he does too much for the city. I do too much for the city.

I break my face. Hey, let's listen to Joel Embiid. I've done way too much, you know, for the city and, you know, putting myself at risk, you know, for people to be saying that. So I, I do think he's, he's like, he's not here.

Marcus, whatever his name is. I've done way too much for this city to be treated like this. So don't wait, wait too much. But like I said, I wish I was as lucky as other ones, but that doesn't mean that I'm not trying that, you know, I'm not, you know, doing whatever it takes to be out there, which I'm going to be here pretty soon. Joel Embiid is not as lucky as other like, like lucky like who?

Lucky like who? At the end of his contract, which I think takes him to 2029, Joel Embiid is going to be making $70 million a year. He can't even play basketball.

He won an MVP. He's not as lucky as who? And this is the part that kills me about all these guys.

It's not about the money at this point. They are so out the lunch from reality. They're so high and mighty. Like they, they forget what just like normal life is. Life is so good.

They got everybody and this is just human nature. Human nature is, is we complain. I don't get something that I like. I don't have it the way that I want. It's human nature to complain.

Even when you climb a little bit further up the financial totem pole. What does LeBron James ultimately have to complain about? People talking about his son, who's not ready for the NBA, which we all knew. Lane Kiffin is complaining because he can't just go beat, beat Georgia all the time. Then you can get into the playoff, man. Shut up. Dan Hurley, why do you complain about the officials? Go recruit better players. Stephen A. Smith, stop complaining about LeBron. You got 20 mils. Shut up. And Aaron Rogers.

Go find a doctor. A decent one. Not in the woods. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Come back, talk some NFL, get into a few things that took place this day in sports history. And speaking of coaches, we got a coach who has some common sense. I'll explain. Don't move.
