It is the JR Sportbrief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network.
I'm coming to you live from Atlanta Georgia. Thank you to everybody tuned in and locked in all over North America. Happy Friday to you.
You made it through the week. I'll be hanging out with you for the next four hours. This is when the show gets started.
Every weekday at 6pm Eastern, 3 Pacific. And we are, well damn it, now we're about 24 hours away from the final four. The start of the final four as we crown a national champion in basketball on Monday in San Antonio, Texas. Of course we got a lot to get into. We'll talk about the games that will take place tomorrow.
Matter of fact, we're going to bring on an expert. This is one of the biggest college basketball hoops fans, freaks, hosts and analysts that I know. His name is Deshaun Tate from Tates Talks Hoops. He'll be here with us next hour to talk about the tournament. Last night, John Moran thinks he's, he thinks he's anybody with a gun. Name a cartoon character. Quick draw McGraw. He thinks he's everybody. John Moran got fined by the NBA today. Good for him.
I'm going to get into that. A lot of the responses to that irritate me. Apparently Travis Hunter not working out at Colorado. Feels very comfortable about where he's going to get drafted. Talk about Luka Doncic.
This man is slumping. Shout out to all my folks in Baltimore. The city of Baltimore is suing both FanDuel and DraftKings.
What a world. Alexander Ovechkin, not too far from Baltimore. Ovechkin is three goals away from having more goals than anyone in NHL history. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore related as well.
He got a beef with Dale Earnhardt Jr. What the heck could they possibly be beefing about? I will tell you. And of course at the end of the show, we'll go through a few things that took place this day in sports history. Hey, you want to be a part of the show? You can.
It's easy. We got a phone number. It's a new phone number and it works. You want to call me? It is 888-710-4ISN.
That's 888-710-4ISN. Friday before Final Four weekend. Here in Atlanta it's 404 Day. People are celebrating everything. Atlanta all over the city.
You can't miss it. The Braves got their home opener. Maybe they'll actually win a game here in Atlanta for once.
They've decided to start the season with zero victories after getting smacked around by the Padres and then also the Dodgers. But anyway, those are losers. We're going to get into some winners. And even before we do that, I don't know where Ja Morant falls in this.
I don't know if it's a matter of too much hubris or he's just being a jerk and he's having to pay for that. We'll get into that in a second. A big shout out and thank you to our producer helping to hold things down today in New York City, Nick Theodoro. Nick, how are you, man? You doing well? You've been good?
Yeah, I'm doing great, man. I'm ready for the Final Four. I'm watching the Yankees beat the Pirates. So life is good right now.
That's so beautiful. The Yankees have already... they're already playing on Friday? Yeah, they're playing right now. They had an early game today.
What the heck? It's already the bottom of the fifth and they're winning 7-1. What time did they start the game? When was the first pitch?
It was around like 4, I think 4.30 maybe. Baseball has all these weird start times. I get it, it's Friday. Are the Yankees playing at home or are they in Pittsburgh? No, they're in Pittsburgh. What the heck is going on in Pittsburgh?
They got a start up. And that's central time as well. I don't know. It's three o'clock start time in Pittsburgh.
I don't know. And shout outs to everybody in Pittsburgh. Those fans in Pittsburgh for the Pirates.
They are some real diehards. I love Pittsburgh. They got some good food.
Put some weight on your bones, meat on your bones. They also have a good whiskey bar out there in Pittsburgh. Never been to their stadium though. I hear it's really, really nice. PNC is beautiful. Everything over there at the river's intersection. That whole area is pretty nice. Is there any stadium you haven't been to?
MLB? Oh, there's plenty of stadiums I haven't been to. I don't know.
A lot. I haven't been to a lot of them either. I haven't been to that dump. I bet you've been to more than I have.
Maybe. I haven't been to that dump. I'm trying to think of where I've been. So I've been to, I'm just trying to geographically think about this. I've been up in Fenway. I've been to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium. I've been at PNC out in Pittsburgh. I have not been to the, I want to call it the vet, whatever they call it, Bank National, whatever the hell the Phillies play. I haven't been there. I've been to the Nats place a bunch of times, but the casino, never to go inside. But what comes after that?
I don't know. Here in Atlanta a million times is 15 minutes from me here in the middle of the city. Another beautiful stadium over there. Oh, Truist Park you've been? No, I haven't, but it looks good on TV.
It looks nice. Listen, man, I don't want to be a jerk, but once you make a stadium, once you've been in one, I can't say you've been in them all. It's a modern place. I've been in the one in Arizona, whatever that place is called, Chase Field. I've been there a couple of times. I've never been to Dodger Stadium. I've been to Safeco.
Yeah, I've been up in Safeco. It has a new name probably now. I don't know what the hell they call that. Globe Life I think I've been to. No, I don't know.
You're making me really think about all this stuff, Nick. I don't know. I've been to the one in Houston. Yeah, is it Houston?
No, no, no, no. Globe Life, one of them two I've been to. I don't remember. They changed their name so many times it's hard to keep up.
Yeah, but I can tell the difference between Dallas and Houston. I'm trying to remember which one I've been to. I don't remember. Oh, I've been to Comiskey, whatever they call it now.
I think Garbage Rate Field, Guaranteed Rate Field. I've been to Wrigley. Yeah, you know what?
Now that you asked me, Nick, I have. I've been to more than I've ever realized. Thank you.
Yeah, no problem. That's what I'm here for. Yeah, I'm like, damn, wow. I'm like, I haven't been to that many.
I'm over here going across the country. I'm like, I've been in a lot of them. Damn, there's not one that I want to go to though.
Let's put it that way. What's that trash can they got in Miami? I don't want to go there. The one with no roof in Tampa.
It's not currently functional. I don't want to go there. Oakland A's, they don't got a place. They're hitchhiking in Sacramento right now. Yeah, beginning of the baseball season is actually a very good friend of mine. Shout outs to Mr. Bloom. He goes and has been to every stadium imaginable. Like he does it on purpose.
That's his thing. He wants to visit every ballpark in America. And I'm going to text him in a second.
I'm going to tell him, Hey man, I just talked about you on the radio. Um, yeah, but you got a ballpark that you want to go to Nick? Uh, well of course Dodger stadium I would say cause it's in LA.
Looks really nice. Like I mentioned before, Pittsburgh seems nice. You know, not really too many that are on my bucket list. Pittsburgh in Los Angeles.
Those are the two I can think of right now. Not too bad. Not too bad. Good deal on both.
Yeah. LA there's a lot to do out there. And then Pittsburgh is downtown area. Pittsburgh is, is kind of, kind of sort of walkable and they got that little train tram thing out there too. So, uh, it's shout outs to everybody in Pittsburgh. It's shout outs to all my folks in at point park, a university in downtown Pittsburgh and good luck to the Braves. They're getting ready to try to win a baseball game if they got enough healthy talent to go out there and do so.
You know what? Let's, let's get this out the way cause I want to talk about some positive things. I want to get into what we got going on with the final four.
I want to talk about Florida. Obviously we had a David Lee, former New York Nick and Florida Gator. He joined us on the show yesterday. This man, John Moran, Ja Moran. He had a gun guy. That's what he is. I say, John Moran, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Guns, guns.
That's it. Because he is the guy who was at a strip club and decided to flash his guns on social media, on Instagram live. This is a guy who's eligible for like a 250, $300 million contract and he wants to flash guns at the strip club. This is the man who was basically warned and punished by the NBA, suspended eight games and then was flashing guns on the internet again. The NBA then said, we're going to suspend you for 25 games. This is a couple of seasons ago. And in the process, this man, he got taken off of commercials. Nike halted the sale of his shoes is the release of his new shoe.
He lost between 50 and $70 million. You would think that he would have learned his lesson. And it's not that Ja Moran is waving around guns on social media and Memphis like he's, I don't know, like he's Scarface. This man allegedly was with a group of individuals who flashed a gun in the back of an arena after a game.
Come on now. NBA didn't find enough evidence there to get him. John Moran is somebody who punched a kid, one of his next door neighbors.
He punched a kid doing one of these pickup basketball games in his own house, in his own backyard, punched a kid, got into a altercation with his family at a footlocker. And so at what point in time do you just go, maybe I'm the problem. Maybe I'm the issue.
Maybe I need to chill the hell out. Ja Moran hasn't found that moment yet. Not yet. Because here he is, his coach was just fired in Taylor Jenkins. He has an opportunity, a new lease at life.
Couple nights ago, Memphis Grizzlies are playing the Golden State Warriors. Ja Moran threw up a kind of a gun symbol, pointed at a guy, but he healed and gave him like two finger guns and pointed at him. I'm like, man, NBA is going to find that man. This is the gun guy. They're going to find him. Why is he still, these are not real guns.
They're only his fingers, but why are you acting like you got a gun? The NBA patted him on the back and said, listen, don't do it again. And you want to know what Ja Moran did last night after he was warned by the NBA, after the NBA decided not to find him this time or suspend him. The Memphis Grizzlies last night played the Miami Heat early in the game. Ja Moran, after scoring a bucket, I want you to take a wild guess if you're not familiar, take a guess at what Ja Moran did to celebrate.
This man put up his fingers and pointed like they were guns. Come on. The NBA just told you to knock it off.
The NBA just told you to stop. You can't celebrate. I don't know. You can't clap your hands and celebrate. You can't do a back flip.
I don't know. You can't twirl around in a circle with your finger in the air. You can't find another celebration. You have to use guns. I mean, outside of Gilbert Arenas, you are the poster child in the NBA for guns. Thank God you didn't bring a gun in the locker room as far as we know. And so the NBA just told you stop with the gun celebrations.
They're giving you a warning. Your very first game last night, you utilize a gun celebration and then you actually punctuate the game down in Miami by hitting a game winner. Yeah, Ja Moran actually hit a game winner.
Memphis beat Miami 110-108. And Ja Moran, because he hit the game winning shot, drove into the lane, stepped back, knocked down the two to win the game. He spoke to Taylor Rooks afterwards.
Okay. And he's on TNT. And of course, he was asked about the game and how it ended.
And let's just say Ja Moran had a little bit of a toothed after winning. Listen to this huge game winner. Take me through what you saw on that final possession.
A pigeon. Guard me. Don't get in a bucket. Win the game. The way you're answering that and the energy we had in this game, this one felt personal.
What was different about this one? The crowd get to booing me. They just woke me up for the second half. I'm pretty sure they ain't happy going home now. Well, I mean, the home team lost. Why would they be happy leaving? Because you hit the game winner?
I'm sure they're miserable. At the same time, Ja Moran continued on. This man said. That he's always the villain. But excuse me, I mean, if I'm Lex Luthor and I'm, I don't know, starving kids at an orphanage orphanage, then I'm a villain, OK?
If I'm the Joker and I'm just randomly beating people up on a train, then I might be the villain. OK, this is not Mother Teresa. Ja Moran isn't feeding the homeless before games. He's not, you know, curing cancer. He's not promoting world peace. He's not doing any of that. I mean, based on your actions, if people are going to look at you as a villain. Then that's your fault.
Come on, man. And Ja Moran. He's not a kid. He's still young, but he's not a kid. He's not a baby. He just needs to grow up. Ja Moran will be 26 years old in August. He's talked about having a daughter and having a family. And when are you going to grow up?
And this is the part that kills me. The NBA today, after his latest I'm going to put up my guns and shoot him pow pow. The NBA fined him seventy five thousand dollars. Good.
OK. Knowing how the NBA works, if he does it again, they're going to pop him for one hundred thousand dollars. Like, why do you want to be so brash and brazen and defiant against the NBA? Because they warned you. Like, you have no self-control whatsoever. You don't understand the magnitude of your actions. Like, what are we doing here? And this is the part that kills me. I find it pretty hilarious.
I'm like, how dumb is so many people? OK. There are folks online who are going, well, other NBA players do the gun celebrations. Why don't we ban the other guy? Why don't we why don't we find the other guys?
The other guys can do the gun celebrations. Listen, people. Life ain't fair. There's a few things to keep in mind here. One, life is not fair. That's it. Just understand that. Two, you make your own bed.
You got to lay down in it. And so, yeah, the NBA could take a wide brush and just just paint everybody suspension, suspension, fine, fine, fine. No more gun celebrations. The NBA can annihilate it completely. The NBA doesn't want those problems.
They don't want that attention. There'd be more attention on things, what they did, as opposed to John Moran doing any of this. John Moran is the one who had a gun in a strip club.
I never seen another NBA player do that. John Moran is a guy who had the gun at the strip club and then put it on Instagram live. John Moran is the guy who was then warned and apologized and had a meeting with the commissioner and then right afterwards went back on Instagram live and kind of waved the gun in front of a camera and then was just like afterwards, it's not a real gun.
It was a lighter. Come on, man. Like he thinks he's Teflon. He thinks he's stupid to me. That's what he looks like to me.
The guy will never talk to me. I know that much. But the guy is stupid, if you ask me.
What are we doing? These are guns. I mean, you think about America, like we got a huge gun problem in America, unfortunately. Up to you what you feel about how to solve it and fix it and all this other stuff.
But it's absolutely terrible. It's a fact that we got this guy out here who just is is gun gun everything in defiance of the NBA. And next time, I don't care if they suspend the dude. And so for people to defend him is kind of lost on me because his actions are stupid. The guy's a multimillionaire. OK, if he doesn't mind losing 50, 60, 70 million dollars, I'm pretty sure his life is still good.
Then he just doesn't care. But he's being a jackass. Let's stop. Let's chill.
Let's relax. He's not proven to me anything but how stupid he is. Waving around guns, brazenly taunting the NBA after being punished. I wouldn't mind if the NBA punished him again, because what is he is he just automatically going to grow up?
We've had about two, three years of incidents with John Moran. But there's a double standard here. How come he gets punished and nobody else gets punished? Because he's a dummy. He's over here taunting the commissioner in the league office like, stop, man. Well, maybe they should just let him ban gun celebrations.
I wouldn't mind. I don't care. But to come to the defense of this guy.
Spare me. John Moran, grow up, man. Some people grow up and some people never do. Not a fan of this guy. Kids love him.
Can't stand him. Let's me know I'm not a kid anymore. The JR sport show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. We are just getting warmed up. Of course, next time we're going to take a deep dive into the final four.
We got it all set up. Okay, we're going to talk some college basketball. We're going to get into some some football and look into some of these prospects. Guys like Travis Hunter, not working out of Colorado.
He's like, what do I need to work out for? We're going to talk college basketball with Deshaun Tate covers all things NCAA. Looks like Baltimore, not the Ravens, but the city has a beef with fan duel and draft kings. Alexander Ovechkin is three goals away from saying Wayne Gretzky. This record is mine. We got a lot to do. You want to be a part of the show? You can 888 710 for ISN.
That's 888 710 for ISN. A matter of fact, now that we got that negativity out the way with John Moran, let's talk about some positivity because there's a college athlete who won a big time award today. And I think he may be winning something even bigger on Monday night. I will explain on the other side. Happy Friday to you. I'm getting warmed up. It's the JR sport re show the infinity sports now it is the JR sport re show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. You want to call me you can. Here's the number 888 710 for ISN. That's 888 710 for ISN. Right before we went to break, we unfortunately talked about John Moran just find $75,000 because he doesn't know how to just I don't know just stop pointing fake guns at people.
It's just like stop making gun motions with your fingers. And that's, that's nuts. I'm pretty sure he'll do it again.
But anyway, on to some positivity. Congratulations to Cooper flag for winning National Player of the Year. I got a call like I don't even know maybe about a month ago. Somebody called up and they're like, Hey, Jr, who's winning National Player of the Year? Is it going to be Jenai broom? Is it going to be Cooper flag? And I'm just like, Hey, bro, I think it's going to be Cooper flag. Like I don't care what Auburn is doing like Cooper flag is gonna win. Like he's a freshman.
I know Jenai broom has been around for years now. This is like his fourth year in college, fifth year, maybe I don't want to be too much of a jerk. I'm gonna have angry people from Auburn upset at me. But he's been around.
People like hot new fresh things. Me personally, I don't care. I don't lose no sleep over who wins or who loses. But I thought just in regards to his impact and what he does on offense and defense and the fact that he probably he should be a senior in high school right now. I thought that Cooper flag was ultimately going to win. I feel like we're a long ways off from the concern surrounding Cooper flag. Oh, is his ankle gonna be good enough to play in a tournament?
Listen, we haven't talked about that guy's ankle all tournament long. And let's be real, there was an expectation that Duke was going to start steamrolling through the competition and not just make it to the final four but ultimately compete for a championship. And that's what they're on their way to right now. They beat Mount St. Mary's smoked them 93 to 49. I fell asleep. They took on Baylor. They smashed them 89 to 66.
I decided to sit down and do some work. Playing Arizona 100 to 93 a little bit closer, right just a little bit closer. That score isn't as indicative of what took place, how do candle them. Alabama just this past Saturday, elite eight.
They beat him 85 to 65. And here's the thing about Duke that Cooper flag isn't out there going, I need to get buckets. I need to get buckets.
I need to get mine before you get yours. He's doing everything. He's playing defense. He's blocking.
He's passing. He's shooting. He's doing it all. He's going down low. He's popping jumpers. He's blocking shots.
He's doing everything. And I think when you start thinking about the size, Duke is a big team. And some of these scores, it's just, I think they got Houston. They both play defense. Houston is the best defensive team, best defensive school here in the tournament. They like to knock down those threes. Duke is just big all around. You got that Knipple guy shooting. You got that giant Malak. How tall is that guy?
Like seven three. They got some giants on that squad. I got Duke going to the championship game on Monday. David Lee spoke to us yesterday and he pretty much said the same exact thing. So congratulations to Cooper Flag winning National Player of the Year. And what do I think is next? National championship.
Unless there's a major upset either tomorrow or there's an upset on Monday, I think Duke, I think Duke is going to be your national champions. And someone who absolutely loves Cooper Flag is his head coach. Head coach John Shire was having a chat ESPN Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt and he couldn't say enough glowing things about Cooper Flag. Listen, now he looks like the number one player in the draft, which we all thought he would be. What was the key to kind of unlocking what he is and allowing him to become comfortable on this stage? Well, you know what, Scott, for me, I mean, I think he's always looked like the number one pick in the draft, even earlier in the year. And, you know, for him, I don't know if I prepared him well enough early in the season for some of the moments he'd be in. He has such a killer instinct and part of his genius is the fact that he can win a game of scoring, rebounding steals, blocks, you name it, whatever that game requires, he finds a way to come up with those plays to help us win. Yeah, that guy, he does everything. He's an all around basketball player. You got to appreciate it. I think we see that it doesn't matter what level.
Someone who can do a little bit of everything is going to go out there and have massive success. That's going to be the late game tomorrow. Houston versus Duke. That'll be the second game and we get things kicked off tomorrow with Florida and Auburn. Yeah, you want to give me a call?
You can do that. 888-710-4ISN. That's 888-710-4ISN. Let's go to Milwaukee and talk to Marshall. Marshall, you're on the JR support reshow. What's up? Well, good evening, JR.
It's been a little while. I hope you're doing great there. I am excellent. How are you? Well, I'm doing good. You know, I still have some health issues, but they're stable for now.
I have some checkups coming in the near future, but we're hopeful that everything's going to go well and more important, my heart health is better. So I appreciate everybody's prayers during the earlier this year and late last year, by the way. And I can't disagree with you at all. I mean, you know me, I'm a UNC alum, so it doesn't warm my cockles right now, the way things are going, but hey, you got to give credit where credit is due.
I not only agree with you on Cooper Flag and I would give it to him right now. Johnny Broom to me is number two, but he's just, as you said, and as Coach Shire said, he can do everything. It's just incredible when you think that this guy could be a senior in high school right now and what he can do, how he's matured, how he has just progressed in such a short period of time and how big they are. And of course, Tonkin Nipple is from here in Milwaukee. He went to Wisconsin Lutheran, a little private school here in town. Okay. Didn't know that.
Yeah. He's Milwaukee. And of course we have Seth Trimble from Menomonee Falls, a town just a little west of me. And you know, so ironically there's Wisconsin ties in the rivalry on both sides right now, except Duke has gone much farther this year, but we hope to have Seth back next year too if we're a senior year. He's been, he's been a real trooper for the heels, but, but, uh, but I think Duke's going to win tomorrow. I think Houston's, as you said, a very good defensive team. Calvin Sampson's done a wonderful job with that team and that program. It's different from type from, from my days where there was five slam a jam, but they put the defense so well and everything, but I think Duke's just got too much offense. Uh, what they did to Alabama was just incredible. I mean that Alabama team that put up 113. Houston would need Akim Olajuwon to show up in his prime in order to go out there and beat Duke. It's going to be a fun watch. You know, this is what I want.
I don't got no, I don't got no skin in the game. I just want good basketball games. I mean, over the years we've had some matchups, we've had some championship games that, that end in buzzer beaters.
I, I want, I want, I want a good game. I don't want to sit around on Saturday and turn the basketball on and just, well, I think Florida and Auburn, I think that'll be a close one. Uh, Duke and Houston, I think Duke has the opportunity. That could be a close one too, but I really think that Duke, they, they have a propensity to potentially run away on that one.
So I think it could happen. I've got them winning by nine or 10 points just right up front and it could be more, I think Auburn, Florida will be like three, four points. I like Florida, but it's close. Uh, you know, Bruce Earl coached at UWM here.
I remember that about 20 years ago when he was young and up and coming. Uh, I would love to see Auburn get there. I think Florida is just playing really good. Clayton's just been incredible.
And, uh, I, I think Duke Florida could be, could be a heck of a final and we'll just see what happens. I, I just, that's what David Lee, me and David Lee, we both said it, David Lee and I, we said it yesterday, so we'll, we'll see. Well, thank you Marshall. He was a, he was a good player on the 2000 Florida team. I remember that guy well, and he had a very prolific NBA career too. He did. I mean, he thought he was just a hustle guy. He ended up being a multiple time all star, right?
What a deal. He was tremendous. And, uh, that was the young Billy Donovan. And of course, Wisconsin and North Carolina got there as eight seeds that year. That was a, that was a fun year too, even though Wisconsin and Carolina got beat as expected in the seventies. But that was a great tournament.
25 years ago. I know I'm old, I'm old, but, uh, but enjoy the basketball. You too, Marshall. Thank you for calling from, uh, from Milwaukee. Thank you as always. Take care.
No problem. Yeah. Billy Donovan is suffering the Chicago bulls. This is crazy. Marco, why haven't they fired him yet? Like they should put them out of his misery and just fire him. You know, you say it and it's almost the fact that you forget he's there cause he's been there so long and they've done nothing.
Yeah, they've done absolutely. When I turn the bulls on and why would I turn the bulls on Marco? I couldn't even tell you. Let me see.
Marco. I think, I think I've seen the Chicago bulls play this year in person here in Atlanta. I think I'm not even sure.
Uh, I've seen them on TV maybe a handful of times. I see, I go, there's Billy Donovan. I go, what is he like? Why is he there? I don't know.
Honestly, you say that it's almost like you forget truly. How long has he been there? They've done nothing. Let's take a guess. I want to say Billy Donovan has been head coach of the Chicago bulls for the past, you want to say six or seven years? I'm going to go higher. You think he's been there longer than six or seven years?
Yeah, I do. Oh my God. Let's look it up right now. I think he's pushing 10. Let's see.
Coaching record NBA. Oh my God. Yeah. Well, it's Chicago. He started, what has he been doing? It's 2020. And so 2020 in Chicago. So that's five years in that one, two, three, six seasons. You're right.
Okay. This is his fifth year. And then he, he started in Oklahoma city in 2015 and he was there for five years. So all in, he's, he's been 10 years all in five seasons and OKC. I don't remember nothing because Kevin Durant said, no, thank you. Nope. Uh, and then in Chicago, what the hell have they done in the past?
I don't know. This Michael Jordan, two time defense, two time national championship and he's had nondescript NBA coaching career. Well, I know that I was going to say the money is probably better than the NBA, but probably not at this point, right? He can go back to college and make some bank. I guess, but he'd have to, it's totally different. He deal with all that NIL crap. Yeah, it's totally different now. And it's not about recruiting.
It's not about, I mean, it's about money is about being able to raise money as it is talking to recruits and their families and whatnot. Well, look, he is 59 years old. He doesn't look at, God bless him. Yeah. He used to be a young, used to be a good, you remember, he used to be one of the young guys, the youngest coach in the league. Yeah. And now he's 60 about to be 60. He's, he's turned 60 May 30th. You know what?
Now I take it back. 60 years old. You want to go back to sitting on couches for 17 year olds and trying to give them money with NIL. Hell no, man.
Give me the pros. He's waiting on it at 1130. He doesn't have to talk to anybody. He's going to retire soon and just be like, thanks, bye. What a life. You know what?
Congratulations. Billy Donovan got his two national championship championships in Florida with the old six and Oh seven. And now he can just, uh, who the hell is he coaching? Kobe white. You know, if you asked me, if you were going to say, can you name a bull?
I can name Kobe white. Now you took them away. I don't think I, here we go. Let's go.
Let's go. Zach. Levine's gone.
So I don't know. Ball is there. Oh, Lonzo's still there.
Okay. He's playing. Is he? I don't know.
Uh, is Vusevich still right? Man trade him. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. They didn't trade him. Right. No.
Is he, he used to be in Orlando, Chicago. Can't move him. Uh, what did they get back for Zach Levine? Something right?
Probably, probably, probably. They got that. They got that young guy.
He's like seven feet to, uh, bazillis Matas bazillis. If you say so. Well, that was in this year's draft. Yeah. Here we go. Here's some bulls that we know.
Uh, yeah. Boozellis is a rookie. Kobe white.
We know him because of his hair. Uh, Vusevich. They got Josh Getty hit that a half the other day.
Getty from OKC. I think that was part of the trade with, with Levine. Isn't it? I think so. Yeah. They got Patrick Williams from a Florida state Tallahassee Lonzo ball.
Uh, I owe the soon where I remember him from Illinois, Kevin hurters on that team. Oh, okay. Wow.
Oh really? Okay. Okay.
And now we've really gone into the, I'm like, right. Okay. Yeah. Hawk Sacramento. I guess he got traded in the trade too.
Wow. And these other guys, I don't know who the hell he's got. All that to fight for the play in. They're not playing eligible. Are they?
No, I think they're done now. But I'm saying that's, that's when you start the season, you go, Hey, we can fight for that 10 seed. That's, that's not where you want to be. Oh man. They, Derrick Rose fell apart and it was curtains for them. And then, uh, Jerry is going to be bad because Jerry Ronsdorf ain't selling the bulls.
And then, uh, you know, he's, he's up there in age, so they might have multiple years of suffering ahead of them. Um, well, it's only been 25. Oh, okay.
It's the JR support. We show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. We're going to take a break when we come back. And speaking of college players and NIL and what have you, there's a player.
He's like, I'm done with college. I'm about to make money in the pros. I'm not even going to work out for the pros.
They're just going to draft me. Anyway, I'm going to tell you which athlete from Colorado this is. We're going to get into an athlete that retired.
His name is Julio. And matter of fact, I'm going to leave the news to the man you just heard. Here he is with a newsflash. You were listening to the JR sport brief. Oh, JR, you always be saying, keeping it moving. So I'm going to let you know something you're not aware of, man. The energy you bring to your show, bro. You always sound like you're ready to return a kick, man.
Is there any truth to that? Well, listen, I'm quite the athlete. I could bust some out here. Here's JR.
It is the JR sport show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. Yeah, my athletic days are over. I walk to the gym.
I do a couple of things and I leave. I'm not, I'm not Travis Hunter. Okay. I'm not playing offense. I'm not playing defense. I'm not playing nothing. I play the couch.
I do a good job. Sit down and get up. Sit down and get up. I'm not running. If I don't have to, I'm not chasing. If I don't have to, I ain't catching nothing. I'm not pivoting. I'm not turning. I know my role.
Is he on a microphone? I can't get hurt doing this. I think anyway, shout out to that guy at the Atlanta Hawks game a couple of days ago, the poor guy was playing one of these halftime games, you know, timeout games. And here in Atlanta, they got this game where it's like tic-tac-toe. You put the giant tic-tac-toe thing in the middle of the court. You got two guys, you got to make a layup and then you get to come back and move your piece. And so they started the game.
You got two dudes. They say, go two guys are jetting to opposite ends of the court to make a layup so they can come back and get a piece before any of these guys could even get a layup in. The first guy, well, one guy went up and tore his entire ACL. He didn't even get the ball up for the layup. He tore his ACL. They had to delay the game to put him on a stretcher. Yeah, game was delayed. The man went up, tore his ACL. If that's not a message from God that you probably shouldn't be out there on a basketball court. Well, what else do you need? Tore his ACL on national TV? Was the butt of jokes all online on the Internet?
It's just, it's terrible. Good luck to that guy. Also not an athlete. Me, I'm smart enough to not even try.
I don't need no problems. Anyway, speaking of a spectacular athlete, today, Colorado had its own showcase. It had its pro day. You want to know somebody that did not participate? Travis Hunter. There was no Travis Hunter today.
He wasn't expected to participate at all. How tall is he? We don't know. How much does he weigh? We don't know. How fast is he?
We have no idea. Travis Hunter, he didn't participate at the combine. He's not working out here at Colorado. And why would he? This man is a once in a lifetime prospect, a guy who can play offense, a guy who can play defense.
And what he did do today, he ran out there and ran routes for Chador Sanders. That's it. Nothing else.
You don't need to see me do anything else. So we know what he does. This man just won the Heisman. He plays offense. He plays defense. He doesn't take a break.
And how about this? Deion Sanders, he spoke recently with Skip Bayless and he basically said, listen, as he goes into the NFL, there should be a full expectation from whoever's coaching him that he's ready for this. He's not going to get tired. Don't waste his talents.
Listen to this. You know, we rested him. We had a tremendous plan. We you know, we practiced with the guys that didn't play 70 percent on Sundays, but he always played that. So he didn't practice on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. So he came back to work on Wednesday. Well rested. So in the pros, they don't go at it like they used to go at it once upon a time. You know, this is Chador blowing me up right now.
So they know they don't do that. So he he he's going to be OK. He's going to be better than OK. It's just going to be a fool to have him on the sideline and your secondary is getting bombarded and he's over there. A fool that has him on the sideline and you can't move the ball and he's sitting over there right next to the coach. That don't make any sense to me.
Well, let's also be honest. Is he physically built for the NFL right now? He's automatically just going to jump from from A to B like you got it. You got to slow down.
This man, it steps this this levels. He needs a slow integration before he's out there playing full time offense and defense. This man would be split in half. See, he's already had little knickknacks, injuries and what have you already at the college level. Look, Travis Hunter is going to be great. He's expected to be a no later or fall no lower than third. We have to see how things kind of shake out between the quarterbacks and maybe Abdul Carter fitting in somewhere before you get to a Travis Hunter. He's going to get drafted top five and whatever team drafts him, they are going to utilize him on offense and defense.
It just can't be every single play. I don't think anybody's built for that at the NFL level. Let's see if he decides to be one of these Shohei Ohtani type freaks.
I don't expect it. It's the JR Sport Reshow here on the Infinity Sports Network. Travis Hunter, his career is starting. I'm going to tell you about a wide receiver whose career is ending. On the other side is the JR Sport Reshow, Infinity Sports Network.
