That's right, Mrs. CBS sports radio and you are locked in JR sport show coming to you live from the rocky mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home in a simple way to get it rock it can okay I can and will be here with you for the next three hours. Thank you to everybody listening all over North America are you in California right are you here in Atlanta, Georgia Whitney three New York terrific Boston WEEI New England all is busy as hell update.

We will talk about email Delco in a little bit south my friends in Florida, Texas, Houston, Houston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Boise, Seattle, Arizona.

I can go on and on but I'm going to stop. Thank you. Producer Carlos Ortiz. He's here with me in you tonight and how about this, and by the way, of course, there's a lot to discuss tonight when I get some NFL football this upcoming Sunday.

What else is new. This is what happens in this time of year. In a few minutes.

I just told you I will my friends up in New England. If you haven't heard from the Boston Celtics ownership and management group to share with you what they had to say about email Delco and moments will not momentarily just a few minutes ago less than three minutes ago Albert Poole.

He hit a homerun number 699 in Los Angeles to run shot by Albert Poole holds out the left-field in absolute bomb St. Louis leads to all the top of the third and not as we sat here in the commercial break was having a conversation with the producer Carlos about Albert Poole holds. He struck out swinging in his first at bat, and then he e-filed the ball off and I told Carlos I said listen Albert Poole holds is over here wobbling like even watching him walk is now little bit of a lamp and sure enough he walked into the batter's box and he delivered a bomb. This was Albert Poole holds this was his first homerun since the last Friday.

It's his fifth homerun here for the month of September. He hit eight bombs in August. He now has 20 homeruns on the season and we know this is Albert Poole holds this is his farewell and so he is now one homerun away from joining the 700 club and no not the one that comes on Sunday mornings and they ask you for your money.

The 700 club that includes Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Barry bonds absolutely amazing here and he has some time and is about a week and 1/2 left the games. Albert Poole holds has time to get to 700 and I guess if there's one bad thing about it. Albert Poole suggested this homerun on Apple TV and Apple TV is been in the news a lot recently over the past week, especially as our and judge has also been on his way to creating history as he looks to become the man who hit the most home runs ever in the American League. He is one homerun away from tying Roger Marist at 61 Aron judge did not do that tonight no home runs by Arun Judge struck out couple times.

He would 144. He still has a batting average of 315 and he did not home or and so everybody can relax at least for one more day. No homerun by Arun Judge. She'll be back at it tomorrow 1 PM and but Albert Poole OC delivered on his and thank you Albert Poole holds the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio and now is the time where things get a little funky were going to get into Kenny Pickett going to talk about Tom Brady's hand will talk about the normal dysfunction of the Cowboys will talk about Justin Herbert and his his rib cartilage. We will get there but it's crazy in the world of the NBA. The week started off with Robert Sarver deciding that he is going to unload the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Mercury that his behavior over the past 20 years has put him in a position where it's best for me and everyone involved to leave. Good riddance, Robert Sarver play nobody talk about that no more.

It's all about email Hoo Doka, the man who I guess, we can call him the guy was the head coach. He he is the head coach you just so happens to be suspended by the Boston Celtics and we don't know if he's going to return we know is not going be this season based on what is happened. It doesn't appear that it will actually be ever. It was right here Wednesday night with the news came down the pipe and it was very vague in it, still is fake that email.

Delco was about to be punished for violating just workplace protocol, it was an hour later that we found out that he had a sexual relationship with a female staffer. It was initially reported that this relationship was consensual. Well it was yesterday that we found out yesterday evening that email will Doka would be suspended for the entire season. People don't know all the details and said wow this is pretty egregious, suspending him for an entire year. But none of us know the details and then today we had a press conference by the Boston Celtics. Wick gross back will gross back, excuse me gross gross man.

I don't have his monies not given me any. So there you go. He's the owner of the Celtics. He sat down with someone who I am very familiar with his name is Brad Stevens he's the president of the Boston Celtics, he was elevated to president of the Celtics when Danny Ames decided I'm doing is here no more.

And so today they had to sit in front of the media and explain their reasons as to why email will Doka has been a suspended and then be why hasn't he been fired, and then we know there's just been rampant speculation over the past 2448 hrs. As to who is on the other end of this relationship with email will Doka will get to this as well. His partner Neil long famous actress. She even released a statement before we do anything Wick gross back. This is what he had to say earlier today about who Doka situation I can say that we, as soon as we learned there was a potential situation. We immediately brought in a respected law firm to conduct a thorough investigation and impartial investigation and they took some time and we are to conclude that investigation with the report. Two days ago so that's the reason for the timing here. There were leaks by the way around that time we would have nothing to do that and nothing to gain from that.

In any insinuation about the leaks.

We don't know where they come from the part of the NBA as we all know in this room but it's really unfortunate and it's unfortunate also that female staff members of the Celtics have been dragged into the public eye unwillingly and inappropriately, and we take a strong stand against unjust regret it for them. It's really a really unfortunate and not necessary. Yeah well it didn't just stop there, Brad Stevens, I told you he chose email will Doka to lead the squad and we know this. He led the squad who Doka did to the NBA finals, the Boston Celtics, they have that hot of a start. They were what 18 and 21, they were able to turn things around at the turn of the the calendar year here in 2022 and they ran straight to the finals and so in that regards this team in the first season under email Doka. They were success, Brad, Steve, Brad Stevens, he selected the right guy for the job today when he spoke he said that will Doka was that it everything that that you would hear was all glowing and that this situation just it evolved.

This is what Brad Stevens had to say.

You reiterate that it was a long thorough process and you obviously spent spent a hard time but I think the only thing I would like to say is that I thought and Wick mentioned it already.

I thought you know we have a lot of talented women in our organization and that yesterday was really hard on them and I think that you know nobody can control twitter speculation rampant, but I do think that we as organization have a responsibility to make sure were there to support them. Now, because a lot of people were dragged unfairly and are you, man, this is people want twitter going through the entire staff directory just putting people and throwing them underneath the bus. Brad Stevens said that they had meetings there is an organization to notice, talk through an in with their members and their female members of the team and the organization of to be supportive of them and us this all is a disaster and just like everything else in the world right now because of social media and technology.

Everyone has an opinion.

People are throwing out jokes and people of being wild and people are focusing on every element in aspect of this. Why did the Celtics leak this. It's like a I don't I don't know. Are we sure that they did someone in the organization obviously leak that probably what you think happened all the Celtics management sat down and had a meeting, etc. let's let's text Psalms and let them know people go role is no guarantee that they leaked it at the same time is even been conversations about all the Boston Celtics have done their own female employees a disservice Boston Celtics let their employees is hanging out to dry the people who say well what the hell are you you suspending email Doka for instead of just firing him.

This is almost a situation where you you can't win.

So what at the end of the year. If the Celtics have a lot of success do you bring back will Doka, probably not. If they stank you won't bring him back then either. This is this is all brand new and when I say brand-new no, not people sleep in around. Not all people do that every day in so many capacities, but this is brand-new and this time, this date, this hour the space with technology and having a shout box and people being able to pick up a phone and share their thoughts, whether informed or misinformed. This is the world that we live in. Everybody has an opinion. Everybody has to share and unfortunately a lot of those opinions shape the thoughts of others. It's thanks especially if the opinions being shared are not informed and so amongst all the controversies there were a lot of people felt that email will Doka should not have been suspended an entire year. Psalms came out from his initial report and he change things up. He initially said that the relationship was consensual.

The Celtics say that they found out about this situation over the summer time. Psalms also been said that maybe this relationship was not consensual and that email Doka, seemingly was the one who at some point in time. Maybe it started off as consensual with things certainly changed and so we didn't get word from the Celtics whether or not this move into a space of harassment. They did not get into details and you can trust and believe that the details are all likely to come out former NBA player, analyst, host of the older smoke podcast and ESPN Matt Barnes. He set his set of drama. You might recall, it was only 105 E. six years ago that a former teammate and NBA player and Derek Fisher was dating his ex-wife hanging out with his kids, Matt Barnes didn't know you probably heard the stories of map bonds driving to his house to try to beat up Derek Fisher.

It just made for television right so Matt Barnes was one of the individuals who didn't find it fair initially that email Doka was suspended for year and so Matt Barnes went on social media, and he let everyone know he didn't find it fair. He said that relationships in situations like this are all commonplace and for him who Doka to be suspended the same amount of time is Robert Sarver initially was his ridiculous but then today Matt Barnes.

He retracted his own statement, Matt Barnes went on social media, and he posted a video and this is what he had to say about the same amount and I tried not to be like a charter important talk with facts and honesty and I clearly had to say last night without knowing all the facts. I spoke on humane notice defense and after finding out the facts.

After I spoke I was what I posted because the situation in Boston is messing 100 times uglier than any of us thought and that's why race is something's happened, I can't condone I can't back and is not my place to tell you what happened, not an amount that was the reason why I raised my post last night after I posted it I got a call from some of the details so everybody involves no this yet, we gotta pray for everybody involved coming to even think about what has taken place. This is kind of crazy and we have no idea. But while everybody runs around and says why did the Celtics release this while people go on and say the penalty was too harsh while will run around and say all know what will Waddy get a year wanted, they just fire him. People are looking at the wrong thing.

The man has a contract like this is very simple to me is is very simple and straightforward email Doka has a contract email Doka sign on the dotted line. He works for major company.

He's a public figure. A major one at that. These are the type of things. Unfortunately that happened.

No not not sleeping with somebody but your personal business becoming very public, because your public figure. I'm not gonna blame the Celtics. There is no handbook for this.

I'm not going to blame any other woman I don't care little woman as I could care less. I could care less really about the situation outside of its in the news is something that that I've I have to talk about is something of interest is affecting the basketball team should be told about Grant Williams and his knee surgery but here I am.

If you want to look at anybody.

It's not the Celtics and how they handled the situation. It's not who is the woman and what happens with her don't care doesn't matter if the guy who has the power in the scenario and the situation. It's the guy who screwed this whole thing up email Doka, he did it and he put out a statement and he said sorry to every body and point the finger at him, we wouldn't be here in this scenario with the situation with everybody else having to make difficult and tough decisions if he just did what most people in positions of power.

You know they try to do, or at least they tell you this in a corporate setting don't have a relationship with the help don't screw that help because it can actually hurt in the long run. A lot of people have been hurt, email Doka didn't have to put on an apology because he was, you know, made one mistake and hurt one person here at the organization you hurt whoever the woman involved in this is he hurt the fancy artists is as players and more importantly the artist partner knee along knee along her or her representative said the outpouring of love and support from family, friends and community drawings difficult time mean so much to me. I asked my privacy be respected as I processed the recent events. Above all, mother and I will continue to focus on my children. CMC also reporting that she did not know about this until the past several days, when obviously the Celtics knew about this for months. We can all point the finger at this person in that group and this one point the finger at email Doka and keep it moving. He's the one to blame the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS email isn't the only one in the news will talk about Brett Favre on the other side as well. He's been bubbling on social media for something that he allegedly did.

You were listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio listening on CBS sports radio role in go everything you want to say my love love everything that you all man they call us with a safe, a tree falls in the forest I'm screwing the thing up. You know if alexandrite tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it make a sound. Both Carlos is amazing.

We just had a major tree fall and people are going to hear about it. This is a beautiful thing. A few minutes ago before the break.

We talked about email Doka and the Boston Celtics.

I told you I'll fill you in on Brett Favre and I still will do that but we gotta hit you with some good news. How about this Albert pool halls seconds ago. He just joined the 700 home. Ron club two home runs tonight for Albert pools he just it is 700 in the top of the fourth inning of three Ron bomb number 700. It was a whole lot hell of a lot of the net in the third inning. Albert pool holes went out there and hit a two run bomb that was number 699 and so with homerun number 700 Albert pool holes elite company elite company. Only the fourth man in major league baseball history to hit 700 Barry bonds leads the way with 762 hammering Hank 755 Babe Ruth 714 home runs and tonight at 42 years old Albert pool holes adjoins that club at 700. He has accounted for every run on the board tonight the Cardinals lead the Dodgers five to nothing. Number 699 or two run shot number 783 Ron shot and Albert pool holes Mr. nice guy. I couldn't think of a better individual to hit 700 someone who's carried himself with classes entire career, someone who's been a Superman on and off the field and someone who you will not hear a negative word uttered by anyone who's ever been in his vicinity.

He's also now the second player behind Hank Aaron with 3000 hits and 700 home runs. Albert pool holes.

That was is 3377th hit.

I remember watching this man come up the machine and that's exactly what he's been. He took that massive contract from the Angels didn't turn out the way he wanted to wasn't the same player but you want to talk about being able to book and a career. Albert pools is going out with a bang and he made it clear very very clear a few weeks ago. Listen folks, I don't care if I get the 700 or 699 or or I doesn't matter.

This is my last stop. This is my final year and I'm going to walk away, regardless the only thing that he can do besides this is walk away with a World Series championship. If the Cardinals get it done. Albert pool holes look like he was cooling off just a little bit eight homeruns in August for in September. Heading into tonight while Albert pool holes is hot again to bombs tonight the Cardinals lead five to nothing and Albert pools makes history 700 home runs only the fourth man in major league baseball history to do it. Good on him.

One of the good good guys in major league baseball amazing athlete amazing ballplayer and man, it's good to see the good guys come out on top. Every now and then I went over the phone lines. That's 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS Albert pool holes 700 career bombs take your calls. On the other side and I want to paint you the picture as to what is taking place at dodger Stadium is the JR sport ratio on CBS sports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio.

Your wants to know why 52124 CBS. That's 855-212-4227 JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio about history has been made tonight in major league baseball and not not our judge. No not Ty Roger Marist for 61 home runs he does not time for the American league single-season mark. He got a single though, we gotta wait for number 61 from our judge. But what we did get moments ago was homerun number 700 by Albert pools of three Ron bomb in the fourth inning as the Cardinals took a five to nothing lead in Los Angeles against the Dodgers and that's not all Albert pools came into this game with 698. Yes, the inning before the third inning. He hit 699 or two run shot so he had to 99 or excuse me, he hit 699 with the children. Homerun in the following inning. Albert pools it's a three run homerun for homerun number 700 and he's an exclusive space now Ruth Hank Aaron and Barry bonds only the fourth player ever to hit 700 bombs good fiber pools. This game is taking place on Apple TV so I'll know how many people watching it now, having said that, the people who aren't in attendance at dodger Stadium is Adrian Veltri. Is there yes. Surprisingly, Adrian Veltri is not playing baseball on those look like he was going to plan, so he was 100 and then Dave Winfield is front and center.

He's getting a lot of TV time as well and so very classy move by the Dodgers you saw images of Mookie Betz giving a round of applause. Dave Roberts, manager of the Dodgers. He certainly didn't look happy with the homerun. Of course he's not.

But he said he respected what took place because it's Albert pools and not let's see what he does. We still have more baseball to play not just for tonight with Albert pool holes as this game is in the top of the fifth inning he got. He got more than a week to put a couple more homeruns on the board. So, something tells me that Albert pool holes who has been on absolute fire in the second half of the season. He might not be done. See we can do 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS Alan is here from Toronto. Your CBS sports radio what's up Alan here Albert the last five years, maybe six. Or that he reduced to part-time player and that you note that it may well prepare better not welcome very quickly washed up but you know that Henry Aaron if he hadn't kept up the momentum. St. Louis you know is that I'm glad he got the 700 because I like this guy is a class I could never tell your client that you know I been disappointed with the writer know how you feel but the last five years I've been disappointed adamant is no way to be going to St. Louis for plated.BPH be a full-time first baseman writing, you're overlooking the fact that he's been struggling the last five years. What about my overlooking 700 homeruns a month. I'm not breaking down every one of the seasons. I actually mentioned out of my own mouth because that's how would be mentioned the fact that he had an amazing career to start off with St. Louis. And I said when he signed his deal to go out to Los Angeles was a little bit of night and day is injuries took over that that came out of my mouth. Alan, I am disappointed you're not a lot of people are people are but I think he should of beaten egg. Record what does he owe you money on the side as well. Okay, I'm just I'm just a little confused while you telling your mobile to my where my overlooking. He's all struggling the last five years.

So what is that line once.

What does that have to do with his accomplishment tonight exactly I told you I'm happy that he got a 700 and I'm happy I most accurately as a writer I can't had a right okay well we we agree on that one. Thank you Alan for calling from Toronto. I mean, well, damn, what we will be supposed, overlooking pool, yet he stunk the past few years we pulls out the put on a Dodgers jersey he exited from Anaheim.

It's just it is not fun. I told you tonight. I was here would produce a call Olson looking at Albert pools in the break in and e-file the ball often right before he hit number 699 it's just like whoa Albert pools is limping around like he could barely walk like he is ancient because he is in any hits a homerun. You need to do a whole lot of walking to be a gigantic manner hit home runs and so this is not a a breakdown of of Albert pool holes and being all we know he's old.

We know he has struggled over the past several seasons will dammit he's going out with a bang.

You gotta love it. Mike is going for Madison, Wisconsin. Your CBS sports radio JR sport ratio March the lack baseball player.

I remember having a career insert like that with the Roger Clemens after he stunk for a couple years with PRA it's over for them. Somehow he got really good.

I wish I could appreciate Albert's accomplishment here, but maybe I'm just too cynical. I can't believe anything anymore.

So while you watch I don't I'm listening to you.

I don't want Albert so so why do you feel so compelled to comment on something that you're not interested because it used to be my favorite part of all. I grew up with that and Ed got them have that meaning to me anymore. Unfortunately, and it's really bad. Let us give me a time of celebration and time at band that the part I'm concerned all will you will you just sound like a sad individual. My coming will damn whistles be celebrating what took place with Albert pool holes not not be in sad when we do we.

We ended up with the sad brigade like clowns. I guess some people like clowns and and other people.

People get freaked out by the town from Toronto set him happy daddy. He broke the record will went. Pastore hit 700 tonight, but he sucked the past for use like it. We know that we got this guy says I don't like baseball but I'm listening to you and yeah you still like it, and then Albert pools. I can't believe that he did anything clean me there's a better example than Roger Clemens who throw a baseball. There was a was Barry Bonds. Okay Barry Bonds was using a little bit of the juice. He said he didn't know was the juice though and so is is that where Atwood baseball everybody who breaks a record right now was a cheater there using performance-enhancing drugs in a in a masking agent is that where were at. You would look at Albert pool holes in his career are you wouldn't have to listen anymore to just Alan from Toronto. Alan just told you how bad pool holes is been the past few years, surgeries, team swapping, and now he's back where it all started. There was no known massive surge from Albert pool holes Albert pools didn't go to the Angels and staying for a few years and then turn it up to historic level.

He did it.

He's been able to play a very very long time 22 years in the league. What evidence do you have that Albert pools cheated anybody. And anybody got anything now okay this is almost like an hour and judge for the life of me. Okay fine you want to be cynical. You don't want to believe anything I been asking us all week now couple people want to call me up a hour and judge. I think our judges using and I go okay based on what the guys are cheap and that that's the best you got. It's not that he's on don't know don't like a defensive end. It's not that he is actually probably bigger than a lot of defense events that he's 6 foot seven 275 280 pounds that that doesn't have anything to do with the ball leaving the yard. I mean listen baseball gives a lot of people reason not to like it. Baseball has created a lot of problems for itself. So what are we going to do never believe anything they been testing for performance-enhancing drugs since 2003, 20, 22, if Albert pool also going to get pop by now were got popped I would think Amber and judge unless he's using super drug somewhere he would got got and it's unfortunate that two of the guys who seemingly come across just through their community service in their work and the fact that there has been no inklings or reason that that that baseball has money. This so much that she can't even be happy about it from throat for Albert pools. I remember when a guy came up. The machine was the accurate description and it was a great nickname.

It should be no reason a guy can play a full season in bad I'll know 350 with 45 home runs and 940 RBIs and do it every year like it's nothing. So what's the shock of surprised that yes 700 if your cynical if you don't believe baseball is real. If you think every body accomplishing anything is a cheater, then you're here right don't watch will complain either stick to the NFL watch the Boston Celtics see what they can do, but for tonight and how about this for the future as well. Whether it's Albert pool holes or whether it's an hour and judge until someone comes out with concrete evidence. Chillout enjoy the history that's taking place, or just ignore.

It's not that difficult.

A lot of people are doing that anyway. Damn people feel one way would about baseball or another no in between the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio Albert pool holes at 700 home runs our judges sitting on 60 for this season and we come back we are going to talk some football to take a look at some of the upcoming games not really want to highlight this one coming up Arun Rogers and Tom Brady to be on the same field, not as often as you think will talk about this game coming up this Sunday afternoon is the JR sport ratio right here with you on CBS sports radio.
