Are You Believing In The Thunder? (Hour 2)

It is the JR Sport Brief show on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia. Happy Thursday to you. I'm going to get you closer to Friday. I'm going to get you closer to Saturday. I'm going to get you closer to the weekend. I'll be hanging out with you for the next three hours. This show gets started every weekday at 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm being joined by super producer and host in New York City.

His name is Ryan Hickey. You've already been hanging out for an hour. Where have you been? Don't worry, we're here now.

You can always hit rewind on the free Odyssey app. We heard from Kenny Pickett who said he is looking forward to being quarterback one for the Browns. Okay, that ain't gonna happen. We talked about Cooper Flagg, the most exciting male college basketball player for Duke. The favorites to win the national championship, number one team in the AP poll. Cooper Flagg went down with a high ankle. Well, he went down with an ankle sprain. I don't want to call it high.

I don't want to call it low. We can best be assured that he will not be playing in the rest of the ACC tournament. We don't know if he's going to play starting next week in the big dance. We have no idea.

We'll wait to see. Speaking of injuries, we learned that D'Aaron Fox of the San Antonio Spurs, he's going to have finger surgery. He is out for the rest of the regular season. We heard from Joey Bosa, the newest member of the Buffalo Bills. He said he was excited to be a member of the Buffalo Bills. But I think if you've ever heard Joey Bosa speak, he never sounds excited about anything.

Nothing. And we got so much more to do as the show continues on. We did mention briefly the Oklahoma City Thunder. Last night they beat the Boston Celtics in what could be an NBA Finals preview. And after the Oklahoma City Thunder won and beat the Celtics, Shay Gilgas Alexander, this guy's, I didn't know he had a logo, by the way. This guy's logo was shining on landmarks all across the city, including the TD Bank Center Garden, whatever the hell they call it, the home of the Celtics.

Imagine beating a basketball team and then branding it with your logo and lights outside. We'll get into that in a minute. Talk about the Bengals still trying to figure out life. This deal with Trey Hendrickson. Coach Tibbs, Tom Thibodeau is back in the news for, you know, making his players play basketball for 48 hours straight, not minutes, hours. People are complaining about that. Bill Belichick is trying to figure out his emails.

And so we got a lot to get into. And by the way, Aaron Rodgers still doesn't have a job. And Russell Wilson doesn't have a job. But he met with the Browns today. That's bad news for Kenny Pickett. I know Kenny Pickett is shaking in his boots. And then who knows, even maybe Aaron Rodgers retires.

Pat McAfee had some words and some thoughts on that. Maybe he just disappears into the wilderness. We'll see. 855-212-4227. That's 855-212-4227. Jerry is here from South Carolina. Here on the Gerald Sportbree Show. Jerry, what's up? Hey, JR. Thanks for taking my phone call. Sure. How are you doing today?

I'm OK. What's up? Good, man. Yeah, I think Chris Paul paid exactly two years wait for us.

0304, 0405. I also want to talk about OKC. Big win in Boston last night.

That was a big win. Lakers couldn't win in Boston last weekend. The Thunder did it. Kind of makes me feel like the Thunder can beat the Lakers in the playoffs if LeBron's healthy.

But still, it's going to be a good series there. But yeah, Cleveland's 15-game winning streak is impressive. I think that's their second 15-game winning streak. Yeah, very impressive.

It's probably them. They'll have to get by Boston. It's going to be a really good series if they happen. And then I think Shay Gillis-Alazan is definitely the NBA MVP.

He's going to be a really good NBA MVP this year. What do you think of that? Yeah, we talked about this the other day. And thank you, Jerry, for calling from South Carolina.

This is definitely going to be a conversation that goes on for the next month. Who's the MVP? Is it Shay Gillis-Alexander? Is it Nikola Jokic?

This is what we know as fact. Nikola Jokic has three MVPs. Nikola Jokic is also averaging a triple-double this season.

He's top three in the top categories. Points, rebounds, and assists. So it's not like he's out here just filling up the stat sheet with nothing. A couple of years ago, I guess it's not a couple of years ago at this point, maybe eight years to a decade ago, Russell Westbrook was being accused of just stat padding. He was inefficient when it came down to his shooting and what he did.

He was basically the whole team when Kevin Durant decided to leave. Nikola Jokic is efficient. He ain't taking bad shots. It's like every shot he takes is a good shot.

Every decision he makes is a great decision. And the only reason why Nikola Jokic won't win MVP is because people don't want to give it to him again. It's as simple as that. It's not fair, but it's what it is. Like there's so many storylines when it comes down to MVP. Who won the MVP? How many times have they won the MVP? Oh well, we can't have a three-time MVP and now give him a fourth.

Like that's just basically what it comes down to. But without a doubt, Nikola Jokic is just the best player in the NBA. Would I give him MVP? Yes. Is he going to get it?

No. It's going to go to Shea Gilgus Alexander. This man is leading the NBA in scoring at almost 33 points a game. And last night he did something that was impressive. He went into Boston and he helped the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the defending champs. The final score in Boston, 118 to 112. Shea Gilgus Alexander had 34 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds.

Chet Holmgren, I don't know, he's like the opposite of Wim Benyama. He had 23 points and 15 rebounds and God bless him, he was healthy. He made it through the game. Kristaps Porzingis did not play. I feel like Kristaps Porzingis has been out with a non-COVID injury or virus or whatever, sickness.

Feels like for weeks now. So Tatum had 33. Brown had a terrible game, 10 points on 5 of 15 shooting.

He could not hit anything to save his life. And OKC now improves their record to 54 and 12. Last year they had a record of 57 and 25. They were booted out of the postseason by the team that eventually went on to represent the Western Conference, and that's the Dallas Mavericks. And so the Thunder, they're young.

Shea Gilgus Alexander and Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams didn't play last night. Everybody's young. Lou Dort, like Sam Preston and the Oklahoma City Thunder, they find a way to young talent that just get the job done. We've seen this before with some guys named Durant, Harden, and Westbrook. Ultimately, these three guys are all going into the Hall of Fame. They're all one MVP, and they were all on one team.

They were just too young at the time. It's Oklahoma City. Is this version of the Thunder, are they going to win a championship? Well, according to Brian Windhorst, yesterday before they beat the Celtics, he was on first take. And he says, you know what, all these teams in the West, they ain't afraid of the Thunder.

Listen to this. I don't mean to have to be the guy who is defending Oklahoma City day in and day out on this program. I'm not even arguing that they are a lock or that they are one of the great teams of the last decade. But my God, is there an incredible amount of disrespect for this team.

And Mad Dog, it's not just you. I hear it every day. I hear it in my head. I hear it implicitly from other people I talked to in the league. I hear it implicitly from players out there who were like, yeah, yeah, we'll be fine with on the same side of the brackets, Oklahoma City. They just don't respect them.

Yeah, they got to beat somebody. I'm saying, I'm sorry. Piggy, why was he so up in arms about that? Because he was doing a morning sports show.

He sounded exasperated. I mean, I get it just because they've been so dominant all season long to the best team in the West now for the second year in a row. I get you have to prove it in the postseason and losing the second round. Now, albeit to the team that went to the finals, at least in the Mavs last year, still losing the second round is not, you know, kind of maybe proves to the point of, hey, their regular season champs and come postseason time, we can exploit them for their inexperience. I mean, I guess they have to prove it in the playoffs, right? But I guess where Brian Windhorst's exasperation comes from is there's really outside of just that getting it done in the postseason. What other thing can you criticize and or question right now about the Thunder? Nothing.

We just got there like a lot of teams. We just got to wait and see. That's it.

Is that is that reason we just got to wait instead? No different. And in a shorter amount of time, they're no different than the same conversation we had yesterday about the Buffalo Bills and the Ravens.

Like, when are you going to get over the hump? I get it. This is a young team. But who cares what they do in a regular season? Like, is this not to be expected what they're doing right now?

Like, is it shocking to anybody? Like, why should anybody care what the Thunder are doing? Is Chet Holmgrum going to be healthy in, I don't know, next month, May and maybe June?

I don't know. If he's not healthy, you can this team is cooked. And we've also never seen Chet Holmgrum, you know, stand in the postseason next to Shay Gilgus Alexander and say, I'm going to be I'm going to be your Robin. Like if SGA has to go out there and do it by himself, man, OKC ain't winning nothing. Like if they played the Boston Celtics and everybody was healthy, Porzingis was healthy and Holmgrum was healthy and Williams was healthy. I'm I'm still picking the Celtics, man.

I'm not ready. And so let's let's see. Let's see. OKC do it. Let's see him do let's go to the finals first.

OK, forget that. Go to the Western Conference finals and let's see if Chet Holmgrum can play in a playoffs where things are going to be much more physical. I guess one thing to run around in the regular season, nobody wants to touch each other.

What are you going to do when the game slows down? I've seen Chet Holmgrum fly in the air. He lands on his backside and now he's out for three months. I've seen Chet Holmgrum land on the dunk and he's busted up his foot. He's fragile. Guys like eight feet tall and he weighs 100 pounds. It's quite treacherous. I am I'm not I'm not looking all that deep into the thunder until they actually go to the go to the West finals.

Do that at a minimum. But last night was good. You beat the defending champs. There was no Porzingis, speaking of somebody who's not healthy, no Jalen Williams to their side. And they won and Che Gilgas, Alexander, he said, you know what? Coming into Boston and beating the Celtics, it's a big deal.

It's huge. Like just because they've done it, like because they've done what we're trying to do, the games against them are always going to be heightened. They're always going to be a little bit more exciting. They've, like I said, achieved what we're trying to accomplish and there's no better test than NBA. Like you play for late June and the team that won late June. So playing against them is always fun, always a really big challenge and something that we get to test ourselves against.

And I guess we passed two tests so far. And whatever. You see, he's not even that excited.

He started the club by saying it's huge. Oh, he knows he has to win when it matters, bro. You think they're going to the finals?

I do. I would agree with what you said before. I think Boston's repeating. I don't think it's anything to hold your head down about if you're the Thunder. But I think they're the best team in the West. I mean, now the LeBron injury, I think that really throws a monkey wrench into the Lakers chances.

They also have some size issues as well. But I think the Thunder, this is the least in the Western Conference, prove it and prove any doubters wrong. Well, I would think so, too. Right. Is anybody trusting Memphis?

No, not really. They're number two in the West. Nobody talks about them. I think Denver, I don't think they ultimately have enough. It's like Jamal Murray and Porter got a ball out.

And whenever they ever done that consistently, never. And a lot of their pieces that they've won with, like Kentavious Caldwell Pope, this guy's gone. You got the Los Angeles Lakers concerns about LeBron and his groin.

We don't know when he's going to be back. The Houston Rockets are, well, they're young. Golden State, I'm rooting. I like Steph Curry. I will root against Jimmy Butler. I don't think they got enough. Minnesota, Julius Randle.

Hell, no, not him and Edwards. Picky the Clippers, right? They can.

They don't have enough. There is a second of optimism. The Clippers. Kawhi has been playing. He's been he's been playing surprisingly. He has. He's been playing well. And James Harden maybe has found the founding youth.

He had a 50-50 burger recently. And so, yeah. And after that, you can just forget about it. OK, after the Los Angeles Clippers, you have the Sacramento Kings. Waste of time.

You have the Phoenix Suns. They are sub 500. Oh, my God. Picky, how are they this bad?

Oh, my God. They are really bad. The Phoenix Suns are 30 and 36. The San Antonio Spurs with Noem Benyama, De'Aaron Fox. We found out it's just going to have finger surgery.

They're only two games ahead of San Antonio. No wonder they fight. Last night, I saw Plumley put a fist and I don't know who was he fighting? That that big guy from New Zealand? What's that guy? What's the dude's name on which team?

New Zealand. He used to play used to play on OKC. Then he played. He's always the muscle, the muscle.

You know, I'm talking about with the long hair and the tattoos. Steven Adams. Yeah. Yeah, he tried to. I did not see that last Plumley. What Plumley went now they didn't try to fight class. They were tussling like under the basket and Adams got hooked on the Plumley and Plumley tried to push him down and then he fell on top of Adams and somehow Plumley was the one who ended up bleeding. I don't know if you want to hit Steven, does he feel pain?

No, not at all. Well, I feel like if you punched him in the face, I feel like he wouldn't move. Like he would eat anybody's punch. He if there's one guy in the NBA, you said, who can take a punch in the league?

I'd be like Steven Adams. The guy's jaw looks like it's made out of granite not to be moved. He probably was smiling the whole time. He's getting that gigantic travel tattoo.

Probably felt no pain for hours on end as he's getting tattooed. Yeah, don't they say he eats or he can't because his body would destroy itself. That's how Brock is the total side note. Do you know Brock Lesnar got like his intestines or whatever?

I forgot what it is. He had to have part of it removed because all he ate was meat. No, really? Yes. Come on, man.

I mean, that doesn't this man didn't know. Bro, you got to have a vegetable every now and then. Can you have one one, but like eat as much steak as you want. Can you have one head of broccoli with that something? Me, every meal every day.

I don't know. I don't know every day, but just like no vegetables. Is that what bacon every day? Sausage?

Like what are you having for breakfast? That's like what's that thing called caveman? Like just eat meat all day. Yeah, not the opposite. Well, I don't have a keto somewhat keto. Oh, that's I like.

Hey, here we go. While there's no definitive public statement from Brock Lesnar about a complete exclusion of vegetables from his diet, his focus on a high protein meat heavy diet coupled with his background as a farm boy suggests he likely consumes minimal vegetables. Brock Lesnar is known for building muscle through intense weight training and a high protein diet. This is just a preference for protein rich foods like meat, which would lead to a reduced intake of vegetables.

Oh my, he was an or guy, not an end guy. Huh? I'm not having steak and potatoes. I'm having steak period. No steak and broccoli.

Oh, here it is son. I was feeling much healthier than before. I would joke around a lot about never eating my vegetables before, but diverticulitis changed my outlook.

Well, damn hickey. If I need part of my insides ripped out because I didn't eat vegetables, what a world. Like they tell you that from when you're a kid, like they eat your vegetables. They tell you that when you're a kid. I'm going to learn his lesson at least because there are plenty of stubborn people out there.

So I'm going right back to it. He's got to be about 50 years old. It took him. He probably wasn't.

Yeah. He was probably in his early forties when he's just like, you know what? Like who wakes up and goes, yeah, I'll have some bacon.

I'll have some steak, give me some pancakes. I guess they were right after all. Go for who would have thought vegetables were good for him, man. The doctors, I guess they were right. Doctors a lot.

My bad. Go figure. It's like, well, could you imagine him going to the doctor's office and looking at Brock Lesnar go, Hey man, so what do you eat? Like meat and what else? Meat, protein shake, meat, protein shake. Uh, do you eat fruits and vegetables? Uh, cow like, no, that doesn't count. Oh man.

Yeah. Steven Adams. I got, I'm gonna look up his diet in the break. Cause I can't imagine his diet is, uh, is any better. There are some people you're going to give something up, give up, give up some meat, throw some vegetables in there. It's called the balanced diet.

It will save you insides. Ask Brock Lesnar. It's the JR sport pre-show here with you on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. Speaking of giving things up, Hey, we heard from the newest member of the Buffalo bills. Last hour, Joey Bosa spoke and explained why he joined the Buffalo bills. The Buffalo bills quarterback spoke today.

Yeah. Josh Allen and Josh Allen explained why he gave something up money. This man left money on the table for the Buffalo bills.

And then apparently it's work. We're here from Josh Allen on the other side. And then Aaron Rogers might be calling it quits.

We'll talk about it. It's the JR sport brief show on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It is the JR sport brief show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. Oh, it's explosive. 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27.

That's 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. This portion of the show is sponsored by Hyundai. The Hyundai getaway sales event is going on now. Get deals. So right. It almost feels wrong, but don't wait.

Visit your local Hyundai dealer today. Oh, is this still going on? We're going to get to Josh Allen in a second. Tiki Stephen A. Smith went on another show. He was on Fox complaining about LeBron again.

Are you? I mean, he's on Fox. Complated about LeBron. We should not be surprised if there was one person to milk a store like this. Is it not him?

Oh my God. He was number one. What was he? Number two crybaby yesterday. Number two ahead of LeBron. Who's number three.

This guy's doing a whole tour. And then I saw somebody rip him to shreds again. Stephen A. Smith. I forgot who it was, but they were just like, oh, you, you know, it was, I was, was it Ryan Clark? I got to see, I don't know. Maybe not. I want to put words in his mouth.

Shout outs to New Orleans. No, but there was somebody who pretty much said, look, Stephen A. Smith has been saying for years. If anybody has a problem with me, you come talk to me. I'm in all the arenas, you know, come talk to me. Well, LeBron came and talked to him and he didn't do anything. I got to see who that was, but damn next to Hickey, he's going to be on Sesame street complaining about LeBron the way he's going.

He's like been on like eight different shows already. Oscar the Groucher needs an explanation. He needs to know Oscar the Groucher to tell him to scram get in the dumpster and never come out.

What Steven nation getting a dumpster and come in there. Oscar, he got a whole world in there. Don't he? I believe he does. He might, he might have the biggest house of everybody on Sesame.

You jumping head dumpster with Oscar. I feel like it's another dimension, man. Never ending. Yeah. He got like a whole community. Aren't there like a community down there? A family of grouches. I don't know. Underground hidden family. Well, let's take, it takes place in New York, doesn't it?

Sesame street. I mean, makes sense. If you go into his world and it's just a world in a dumpster. Yeah. Well, man, have you seen the train station? It might as well be, maybe Oscar lives in the train.

I don't know. That would be very fitting. That dumpster connects you to the New York city subway. Oh my God.

It'd be possible. Man, Oscar is living the life. Bet you don't pay no rent in that dumpster.

No, you're right about that. Living rent free in New York. What a guy and good for him and good for Steven that he can afford his own dumpster. He's making $20 million a year now. Anyway, besides that, speaking of big, big, big big money, there's somebody making big money. His name is Josh Allen.

Over the weekend. We learned that Josh Allen now has a contract extension. This man's money has been up to $55 million per year. Oh yeah. He's living good. Isn't he?

Right. $330 million over the next six years, $250 million guaranteed. I guess it pays to win an MVP award in the NFL. And so Josh Allen is now tied for the second highest paid quarterback in the entire league. Dak Prescott, who has no MVP, has no championship game appearances.

He's number one. He's making $60 million a year. And so the question exists to Josh Allen specifically, why did you settle? You could have made $60 million a year. You, Josh Allen could have been the highest paid quarterback in the entire NFL.

Josh Allen spoke and he pretty much answered a question as to why he didn't take more money. And he sounds like a human being. Listen to this. What's five more going to do for my life that I can't already do right now. Right.

So like it, it's not that crazy to me. Right. Like I live a pretty good life.

Um, I've got a house, got a car. We're good. Um, but I wasn't looking to, to absolutely kill them in every, every chance that I could.

And I told my agent that I was like, Hey, if this, this has any impact on the pack, um, or impact on the cap, I should say, um, let's figure out a way to, to not do that. Wow. Wow. Oh, he's reasonable. Like for him.

Yeah. What's, what's five more million dollars. I just signed a $230 million deal. That's, that's cash.

That's liquid. That's being deposited into his account. And yeah, he got to pay half of that in taxes. Half of that is going out the door, but still a hundred million dollars, $150 million. Uh, it doesn't matter how much he pockets. That's still a lot of cash. What's $5 million.

I'll take $5 million today to him. It's, it's nothing. And we've heard this before. People like to bring it up every so often. Maybe now, you know, Josh Allen will be the next example. People proclaimed for years that Tom Brady was never the highest paid quarterback that Tom Brady was always out here getting the money that Tom Brady, Oh, he only made 25 mil only made 25 mil was never the highest paid.

You should get money back. Everybody ain't Josh Allen. Josh Allen now has the highest paid contract in NFL history with the most guaranteed money. He jumped ahead of that guy who played in Cleveland or still plays in Cleveland. The Sean Watson making 230 mil Josh Allen is guaranteed $250 million. He didn't give no money back on his first contract.

He sure as hell did it. The name of the game is to get that cash, to get the money, get the money, get the cash first and then worry about everything else. So Josh Allen isn't a good place. This is a lot of other players who aren't in a place to just give up money and think about this. For all the hundreds of players who are in the NFL, the fat more than a thousand, are you talking about 1300? You think everybody's in a position they gotta be?

I don't know. But 10 guys, 15 guys who can legitimately say, you know what? I want to leave some money on the table and they're all star quarterbacks and not even. There might be three, Hickey, who are quarterbacks who could leave money on the table? Him, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Dak if he wanted to. I mean, would you put like Tua, Trevor Lawrence? Yeah, guys, Jalen Hurts.

So what, 10 guys, maybe 10. Maybe if you want to project ahead, like probably Jayden Daniels, probably on the pathway. Oh my God. How much is he going to make when it's time? Unless he just goes backwards. Was he going to make 70 a year? That 65, at least you would think, right? You're probably right.

Closer to 70 by the time two or three years comes around. That's right. Damn. Hickey, I'm going to start robbing banks. Yup. That's the move, huh? I'm going to start. There's no other way. This is robbing banks.

My time has passed to make 50 and 60 and 70 throwing a ball or kicking a ball or shooting a ball. How much did you think you could get in one looting of a bank? A looting? Robbing, you know, whatever.

I don't know where to start, man. If you were to go tomorrow to the local bank, they don't even have money back there, right? I mean, I don't, I think you can probably get a few thousand dollars. I don't think you're getting away with, you got to put a note to the teller.

Like how does it, how does it even work? I don't know. I guess so.

Right. You pull out the gun and say, give me the money. That's all I need. The movies. I need to go watch the, what's that? The Batman. You seen Batman, right? When a joker robbed the bank.

No. Hickey. I've never seen any of those movies and I really have no. What?

No motivation to Hickey. Listen to me. Listen, the opening scene. I don't know what it is.

I may send it to you in the, in the break. Okay. The opening scene of Batman. I don't know. I don't know which one is the dark night.

I don't know. I got to figure out what your name is. The opening scene with the joker. Robs the bank is one of the best opening scenes of a movie I've ever seen. And I'm not no movie aficionado. I don't like movies.

They're too long. I don't got the patience for it. It's one of the best scenes I've ever seen.

You have no idea what I'm talking about. No idea. I'm down to watch it. I'm very open to watching it, but I have no idea.

It's literally the scene is maybe like three minutes. I'm going to send it to you in a break. Okay. Okay.

I can watch you. You got homework for the break. Ac is I know you got other things to do. Hey, Ac, you're here, right? You're here.

I'm here. Have you, do you know what scene I'm talking about? I believe so. It's been a long time since I've seen that movie, but I believe so.

He, he, he, he has a mat. There's like, they're all dressed as clowns and they go to the bank and they, wasn't that an excellent, like the thought process of it was genius. Absolutely.

Absolutely. So my point, Hickey is after you watch the scene, Hickey, after you watch the scene, Hickey, you will understand me, you and Ac and maybe Marco Balletti. I don't know who else, maybe Sophia, if she's there, we can ask Zach what he's doing. We got to ask a couple of people. We just put on masks and we just rob a bank. Problem solved. Or you could do like, you know, Woody Allen, take the money and run, give him a note. I have a gun. I don't know if that'll work. It's too much technology and panic buttons. You know, this is true.

But the best part of the joke was nobody could understand his handwriting in the note. Yeah. You caught on the way out.

Yes. I'll figure something out. I'm gonna send that to Hickey in the break. It's the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Good for Josh Allen. This man makes so much money. He can afford to leave some on the table.

855-212-4227. We come back, we'll talk about an NFL team. Well, they don't like paying anybody money. And then we'll talk about a quarterback. Well, he may not make another dime in the NFL. I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers.

We'll get into the Bengals and Rodgers on the other side of the break. You're listening to the JR Sport Breeze. It is the JR Sport Breeze Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. We just heard from Josh Allen. The man said he is not trying to break the bank with the Buffalo Bills. He's like, what's five more million dollars going to do for me? Nothing.

Nothing. He says I'm good. I got a house.

I got a car. I think he's, I think he got a fiance. I think too. Good for him. He's a happy man. What else does he need? All he needs is a Super Bowl, right? For his professional life, he got an MVP.

Vince Lombardi would go a long way. He don't need no more money. He does not need to rob a bank. Hickey, did you see that, that bank robbery scene from Batman? Did you see it?

I did. Wow. That's amazing, right? That is amazing. I was more mind blown by just the process of killing off basically everyone else so you get all the money yourself. Right.

Then the actual, you know, heist of going in there, holding everybody up, using that giant machine to undo the lock. Wow. That's cool. Well, if we, if we robbed the bank, I wouldn't off you. I wouldn't do that.

We could share the money. Thank you. I will say now that he's not here, I would not trust ACK.

I'm just going to throw it out there right now. He wouldn't trust who? ACK.

Wouldn't do it. Oh, Ackerman? He wouldn't kill us. He would sell us though down the river right away. Oh, no doubt about it. He would make a deal with the feds in a heartbeat. Oh, so don't, we shouldn't involve him in the bank robbery. I don't think so.

I think he would crack. Okay. All right.

No taking. We, well, I was going to say we haven't be the first guy as a part of it, but let's not include them at all. No, Marco's Google guy. He would be 100% with us.

No doubt about he's loyal. Okay. All right. Let's be a little afraid. All right. Marco can be the bus driver.

He come through. Well, in this scenario, isn't everyone dead, but the joker. And if you're the joker, maybe me and Marco will do her own thing. Yeah.

You're right. You think you go rob your own bank. I'll meet you guys outside. Okay.

We'll go from there. Amazing that what Hickey, if you, if there's one Batman movie, anything, watch that movie. He played the hell out of that role of being a psychopath. And he was such a good, crazy person.

It was Hickey. He existed just to drive crazy. It's not even like he wanted to get caught. It's not like he wanted to be rich. He just wanted to drive that man crazy. And he did. It was pretty hilarious and sick.

It was good. I respect the petty level. Your existence is there just to bother somebody else. It's like the neighbor that does everything just to piss off the other neighbor. I don't even like my lawn being, you know, mowing the lawn at 7 AM, but I know piss him off.

So I'm out there mowing the lawn at 7 AM. Yeah. Hickey, there was a scene with Batman. He, he intentionally got caught by Batman, right?

In prison, in jail, Batman literally beat the hell out of him. And he is on the floor laughing. He's laughing. Batman is mad as hell, dragging him all over tables.

He's laughing at Batman. He's, I love that guy. That's sick.

That is sick. I love the joke. I love him. I love him.

Anyway, 8 5 5 2 1 2 42 27. And speaking of another level of sick, Hickey, I don't know if he's Batman level of sick, but he might be there. For all his talk about Aaron Rogers.

We, we got so much work. The New York giants are begging for him. And Pat McAfee is saying, Oh, he might go to the Steelers and now he might quit Aaron Rogers. He might be like the joker of the NFL, except for the joker.

I think in a odd way is he's a good, bad guy. I think Aaron Rogers is just a pain in the ass. I want you to listen to Dan Graziano earlier today from ESPN. He said the Steelers and the giants are basically desperate at this point to sign Aaron Rogers.

Listen, it's sad. Like like the Steelers and the giants are like flagship franchises of the league and they're waiting on a decision from a guy that jets just cut. Like think about that. Like they're like $49 million in dead money on the jets cap to not have this guy on the team. And the giants and Steelers are begging him to sign with them. It's desperate. Everybody's desperate.

Although Aaron Rogers, he might be playing everybody, right? Like what's so difficult about the decision. Does he need the smoke to make his decision? Does he need to get high?

Does he need to drink that juice that makes you vomit? Like what is, what is he waiting on here? We got Russell Wilson taking meetings with the giants and the Browns and Aaron Rogers is just loving the speculation.

He is basking in the attention and I'm certainly giving it to him. I want you to listen to this from Pat McAfee show. He said Aaron Rogers is hanging out on the beach and he doesn't even know if he's going to return. Listen. Seems like he was contemplating a lot of things. I think that is currently what he's in the middle of. I think, you know, do I want to play still?

Is this something like did the last two years at the New York jet? And it's not coming from messages to me. Cause once again, I've been trying to get answers and have not been getting answers.

I don't think a lot of people have been. Cause I think Aaron's trying to find answers right now on what does he want to do? Does he want to commit to another year? Did the jets situation make him want to play football improve himself or did the jet situation make him say, I don't know if I want to go through all of that again. We don't know still at this case at this point, if Aaron wants to play.

Oh, come on, man. He's returning, right? He's not going to quit. He's just basking in all of this. And you know, he's being the master of his own destiny and I'd be surprised if he retires. I don't think he's going out this way.

Same. I'd be shocked. I don't know if for me, at least talking about how you go out, I think for him, it's just the attention. Right. Right. He'll still get attention. I'm sure we'll do a podcast or whatever when he retires, but there's, he will still has a lot more attention playing than ever will have in the media. And so I think he's going to milk every second of it.

I think that's what he's doing right now. He knows in football. He's the biggest story right now. He holds the cards for us.

The quarterback dominoes, every big name, free agent, quote unquote has already been signed and off the market. Like he is a story. And this guy loves dragging out and being at top of mind as long as possible. You think he's going to do a podcast when he quits?

Like a mindfulness podcast? Wouldn't be surprised. He's doing something. He's not just going away and hiding.

He, his ego could not handle being forgotten. He keeps talking about how when he's, I watched all four episodes of his, whatever the hell it was. No, you didn't. I did. Or was it Netflix? I watched it. Why? He was going in the woods.

He took a couple of NFL players on him to do that stuff. Ayahuasca. Why? I wanted, I try to be educated about my, about sports. Did you sound like a bad guy now for now watching, I'll watch the Celtics. They got something out on, on HBO. I watched that.

Did you learn anything from Aaron Rogers that you didn't know before? No. Okay. Fair. No, no.

They didn't learn anything. No, he took, he took a couple of NFL players with him to, to do the stuff. Oh yeah. Who joined him? Do you know? Uh, Micah Hyde, I think.

Okay. Is he in the league anymore? Got hurt. I know he got hurt. Yeah.

I don't know. He came back from retirement with the bills. Micah Hyde, Aaron Rogers. Uh, okay.

Oh, they played on the Packers. Hyde was out there. Okay. Oh wait. No. Micah Hyde.

I need to put the bills. I need to put Ayahuasca with his name. Yeah. Yeah. I don't remember him being on that scene. Let's see.

Alcoholism, Ayahuasca and the enlightenment of an NFL player. Okay. Okay. All right. Uh, Oh no. Poir, Poir, Poir. Oh, Jordan Poir. Yeah.

Mixing up my defensive backs here. Well, they were never teammates. Interesting.

No, they weren't. Yeah. So Poir and Aaron Rogers were doing the stuff together. I like that. Doing the stuff.

You could take that a million different ways by the way. The Ayahuasca. Doing the stuff. Jordan Poirier was introduced to Ayahuasca by Aaron Rogers. There we go.

Jordan Poirier has been successfully using plant-based medicine to improve his mental health after learning about it from Rogers appearance on the Pat McAfee show. So Aaron Rogers is influential. Jesse, we need him. He can get every, he can get everybody on this stuff. Oh, okay.

I don't know if his wife likes it, but that's a story for another day. It's the JR sport reshow here with you on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break. When we come back, I did mention Trey Hendrickson and the bangles, and then we're going to get into an NBA coach who might be destroying his own players. I'll tell you who on the other side, the JR sport reshow don't move.
