You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you're listening to your support on CBS radio. That's right, this is CBS sports radio and are locked in to the JR sport brief show, do you live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home in a simple way to get it rockets can. I will be hanging out here with you for the next three hours. It's a four hour show how can you listens every minute, every second on the free Odyssey have a you DAC why shut out the people listening on your local CBS sports radio affiliate. All my friends listening on Sirius XM channel 158 and everybody listening on smart speaker here being drawn by super producer and host Dave Sheppard being drawn by your very happy about that. You want to give me a holler here at CBS sports radio. It's simple. The number 855-2124 CBS.

That's 855-2124 CBS also contacting social media that is at JR sport brief football is back. The NFL is back in in the first game of the regular season here on Thursday night football. The Buffalo Bills currently lead the Los Angeles Rams 31 to 10 is little more than two minutes left in the game.

A timeout was just taken by the Rams before they hit the two minute warning and the reality is that was a few minutes away right before we went to break from the Buffalo Bills scoring again the Rams turn the ball over Josh Allen. The bills got it. They went right towards the end zone and they fumbled the ball and so now the Rams have an intron to stay alive and for the life of me.

This will be their final, and last stand only takes a touch down to scores three scores to get them back into the game while the things have happened, but we have her oh so much about Matthew Stafford and his damn elbow but I'm like what we doing here what we why you need him out there throwing Hail Marys you trying to limit his throws in the off-season you trying to limit his throws in practice while we adding to the tally and again that's pretty much out of reach. And sure you want to go down to every last play. You want to get as much juice out of the squeeze that you can. You gotta know when to stop. Matthew Stafford after learning today that he did have off-season surgery on that elbow. He spoke to the media.

And he said listen folks, everybody chill. It's fine. It's fine, I'm fine.

Listen the limitations you know still think is a great play can always be better if you like and 21 again will keep trying, but not feel like a really good throw on the senior from you. Unfortunately he can make every throw is going to the other team tonight and not every interception is his own fault. Some of them have been tips Matthew Stafford has thrown three interceptions.

This is the version that people don't want to see some zombies not sometimes is not. He went through a stretch last season were Matthew Stafford was just just throwing pics you Todd for the NFL lead last season. If you think about the stars guys who actually have a chance to throw the ball. He had 17 of and so he continues that trend tonight. People will be talking about him his elbow. The offense like the Rams didn't just win the Super Bowl. So prepare yourselves is Los Angeles Rams are chaps and Cooper cup dammit he's Dan Cooper cup might score a touchdown here might be too late though Los Angeles Rams, put some points on the board. He will keep you updated on that game as it continues. Matthew Stafford Super Bowl chant Sean McVeigh by the way, got an extension today and overwhelm a college football side.

This is is a little hilarious and I want to fill you in on it throughout the course of this off-season. This is been the time for college football coaches to be paid Kirby smart. Finally, finally beats Alabama and what Nick Sabin calls a rebuilding year and so how was Kirby smart rewarded year after year after year.

I sit down to watch the Georgia Bulldogs. They lose they choke they go to the SEC championship game they lose they stank they don't get over the hump this past season actually went Kirby smart for single-season he gets his salary up, he gets a contract extension. It pays him $11.2 million a year. He finally got over the hump and he was rewarded for it and so what happens as a result, Nick Sabin says there's no way in hell I'm going to let Kirby smart make more money than me in any season, and a Crimson Tide give Nick Sabin $11.7 million a season, and so Kirby smart couldn't even enjoy the fact that he was the highest-paid coach for few months he couldn't even go into the start of the college football season being the highest paid coach because Nick Sabin said mama mama if Kirby smart is going to make 11 to you better pay me 1/2 million dollars more in Sophia Kirby smart fine.

It's Nick Sabin. No problem today Kirby smart got jumped again. He's not number to which he typically is to Alabama this time he falls to number three Dabo Sweeney of Clemson, basically moving into its 15th year. It sounds crazy to say that already is 15th season as head coach Dabo Sweeney. He just got a new contract. He just got an extension and how much money is he going to make well if Nick Sabin is making 11 seven if Kirby smart is at 11 to the Dabo Sweeney yes the fit somewhere in the middle right 11 and I have million dollars a year.

Dabo Sweeney is extension takes in over the next 10 years. That is $115 million. His contract will take him through 2023 and we know about the success that Dabo is that he is Mr. positivity he's Mr. I'm going to cheer everybody up, he is Mr. awesome two national championships 80% winning percentage seven ACC championships.

They know how to beat the living hell out of the Georgia Tech we know that much and so how much is that worth more than Kirby smart not enough is Nick Sabin. Nobody will ever go past them and if you do, Nick Sabin will say pay me more and so Dabo has the cash he also has to championships in our Kirby smart one. And so Dabo he talked to Rich Eisen about his new deal about his money and this what he had to say something that our new ADD granddad approached know my age is about really last December and so something that I think he just wanted to be really kinda drove the timing to be honest, reviewing and so disdainful and mumbled grateful to him at a boarding just in all the players and staff that we had for all your sharing and not have opportunity to know call comes in our home then here's my 20th season and you know in my 14th head coach so in operation.

As you said you got three kids of Guthrie kitchen they all have grown up here. Clemson my baby was born here and so it's been a good two graduates of Clemson and my youngest just became a freshman. So certainly a place that that we love and not respectfully got the opportunity to continue to do something that I love the place.

Hello all that money.

Money is not too bad either.

Monies going to be absolutely amazing and they might have started talking more than a year ago. They just came down to the financial implications of it slotted in the middle we got a final score here in Los Angeles to start the NFL season. The Buffalo Bills steamroll the Los Angeles Rams. The final score 31 to 10 and I say steamroll. There was a point in time at at halftime I should say that the score was tied all 1010 even at halftime with the score being side wasn't indicative of how Buffalo started off his game before throwing an interception that was basically a tipped INT. Josh Allen started off the game. Perfect. I want to say he completed I think around 1314 consecutive passes before he was picked off, which was not his fault. Turnovers with the name of the game to start and finish but Buffalo completely took over so he is reminded to you tonight the Buffalo Bills.

They defeat the Rams.

The final score 31 to 10 and you can bet you know as the Super Bowl talk is justified, it will be hyped. It will be exaggerated and maybe it won't be exaggerated if the bills just go through this entire season, beating the living hell out of everybody and they were not perfect tonight and they still took down the Super Bowl champs.

It's one game but it was a helluva statement to make right out of the gate 855-2124 CBS. That's 8552124CB asked David is calling from Buffalo your CBS sports radio AJR appreciated Greg Mike Albright man what a win but don't buy a real statement when they got contributions from everybody you know God, but we know how great great record backyard calendar. They made a lot of good prose that I think the running the running plate. He made where he gave that our bid Nick got that with the Bateman in that game worth the I'm the leader of the team that you guys might of the world championship of work were proving to everybody tonight. There were the best in the world and not the bells. The big moment in that game and that the defense of wind bond. Miller had given that the effect of wind and attitude of swagger and egg whatever you want to say and they did cook it to the Rams all night. They dominated them at the point of attack and that was the difference in the game. I felt like go great way to start with even the long season, but the that's a good way to start man inductively upon your play ball like that. No, absolutely, David. There's a lot of reasons for optimism. When you think about the Buffalo Bills is tons of the drill and happy about things started off great. Matter fact is we talked about someone who was formerly on the team when I say on the team from out the squad that lost the Rams and now he's a member of the bills. His name is Von Miller. He wasted zero time introducing himself to Buffalo to the fans. Von Miller went out there. Of course, earlier on in the first staff and he got himself a Sacco matter fact he finished the night with two sacks three tackles for loss. But how about right now you listen to Von Miller's first sack as a member of the Buffalo Bills courtesy of the bills radio network on second and sick, telling him to throw it again. This time Stanford surrounded by building a 49 yard line and brought him down the future Hall of Famer with its first set in a Buffalo Bills uniform and intake long that it that was early in the game, and would basically put a punctuation mark at the end of the game was Josh Allen and everything that he did today was a punctuation outside of those those INT's which he wasn't always responsible for to end the game last score Josh Allen.

I told you about that such down 53 yards of bomb straight into the hands of Stefon Diggs who falls in for the touchdown.

Listen to the end zone while those upon the score the game right there. We gotta about eight more minutes left but 31 to 10. That was the final score the game in the Buffalo Bills are abusers. Let's see what they got up this leave for the rest of the year.

The first game of the NFL season is underway.

I want to call it underwhelming, but it was a statement I was hoping for more of a close again last night we had this discussion. Taking a look at what might take place on said man the Rams of the home team.

These are two great teams. I'm just going pick the team that plays at home knowing at the same time that a lot of fans and in Los Angeles that will root for anybody.

I was wrong last night. I told you I got the Buffalo Bills number one on my list. I think the bills have the best chance of going out and winning a Super Bowl in tonight in the first game of the season. They showed why. And were going to continue to talk about is the JR sport re-show here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS the Buffalo Bills when the season opener for the entire NFL. The final score 31 to 10, we'll talk more about the game. I do want to mention more of dabble Sweeney before we roll on. There's a lot to do including the start for Thursday night football. We got you covered all bases is the JR sport re-show your CBS sports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio writing. Are you are clear insight accurate on I love listening to you calling now with 855-2124 CBS the JR sport re-show here with you on CBS sports radio. The NFL season. It started now it's underway.

The first game.

The opener is done. The Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams 31 to 10 Sean McVeigh has now suffered his first loss to open up a season as head coach of the Rams first loss. Previously he was father no and by the way Sean McVeigh if you did not know he got a contract extension.

Earlier today, in addition to the general manager less need. They will be around running these Rams until 2026. This game was tied 10 all at halftime. The Buffalo Bills just took over 31 to 10. We run you through some of these numbers, Josh Allen.

He contributed to four touchdowns, including 190 condos extended his arm in entourage you want to talk about a debut for Von Miller Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times tonight seven Von Miller had two of those sacks, three tackles for loss and Matthew Stafford to manage the run around a bum elbow three interceptions and I told about those seven sacks a better the BenGay the better get the ice they better get it all ready for Matthew Stafford if he's going to go ahead and and make it through this season and not only was this the first time that Sean McVeigh lost in opener.

This is his worst loss since 2017.

Yes 21 point L by Sean McVeigh.

There are too many situations will scenarios where yogis sees outcoached was the outcoached tonight was his team ready. Were they coming off of a Super Bowl high Odell Beckham Junior was in attendance to help them celebrate the start of the year. Obviously he's not officially on the squad or on the team yet, but man that hasn't been the team. The repeat of Super Bowl champions since the patriots did it in 2005, 20, 22, and an easy to wake up roll out of bed and just win championships in the NFL. I know that the New England Patriots made it look easy for stretch, but anyone at all the time either. This, of all the conversations that we can have about what the Rams can do is still going to be one of the best teams are the odds in their favor that they gonna go ahead and repeat know that not just reality. In one of those reasons is Von Miller why told you two sacks, three tackles for loss is a bad man hit in every body right before we went the break I shared with you. His early sack in the game against his former teammate Matthew Stafford here, take a listen. Bills radio network. This is what sack number two sounded like second 941 now would not blindside second all the way back to my 9 yard.net sent must be nice to be born. Must be nice to just wake up and say yeah well I want a Super Bowl with the Broncos MVP one Super Bowl here with the Rams and just the hired gun, and now I can just get up when I feel like it in the sign with the Buffalo Bills.

Obviously there's a reason why he took the money while they through $120 million.

Adam said he a complete here for six years to end your career. I guess he feels more confident about their Super Bowl chances and what he can contribute.

Let's keep in mind he was on the Broncos last year. He finished his season with the Rams estate in Los Angeles, but he decided to leave sometime pastors are greener.

Let's be real here. Josh Allen has more runway because of his age. What Matthew Stafford acid same time we've heard about Matthew Stafford and his elbow. So Von Miller already making an immediate impact for his new team in one of the things that was already discussed and in one of our callers pretty much pointed this out last night. He said bills fans are going to take over Los Angeles and they did and that's not a shock.

Bills fans. One of the best fan bases in the entire NFL that one of the best traveling fan bases.

If you have to think about a season or excuse me if you have to think about the team the city to go ahead and visit it could be the middle of the year, but the open things up Los Angeles your Super Bowl contending SWAT bills fans. They show the hell up and they showed out and they were loud and they made themselves known me let everybody know that they were there and I gotta mention this as well. Speaking of seeing that they were there and loud. Shep did did you realize that Ozzy Ozzy Osbourne was not doing 1/2 times did you see that no I didn't even know he still performed. Ozzy Osbourne was standing up, bet everything that I have that he was lip-synching almost definitely. Of course he was 73. We know he's had many a health problem, smelled old 73 yet his 73 he ages like what Micah was something of ages old are not wine, not wine know he's not aging like find you.

He's aging like someone who unfortunately has had many life issues that way.

He stood there with a band and I guess you could say he performed and they had his music with his voice playing in the background on. I tried to understand how how is this even recorded one Ellie native shut up performed tonight was the team got the memo. Who's that I'm talking about the Rams I mean didn't show up in the second half. That's I mean that's embarrassing. Come on, I thought you were talking about one particular player. Well, I mean did I mean all I mean keno cup started well. A God-given nap above my God I'm not Stafford Stafford look like a deer in headlights tonight. Yet this was the open so the game was was fools gold. It really was. Seeing that the score was tied at 1010 at halftime was almost like how how is this even possible because the bills dominated the game.

It was just a few turnovers here and there, not to diminish what the Rams did to stand again, but it wasn't indicative of what the bills were doing to them, just going down the field even on the, the, the opening drive. Watching Buffalo just marched down the field for a touchdown without being touched was just absolutely ridiculous. There was a statement game, and so at least right now. Yeah, I guess there's a there's a huge difference when I know bills fans take great pleasure in saying this New York football is actually good. The New York Jets play in New Jersey. The New York Giants play in New Jersey and the only football scene that actually plays in New York play New York City Clapham Buffalo. Congratulations to all the fans up in Buffalo and Western New York and in every body who also loves them via proximity in Toronto got for somebody. I guess it's the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio going to take a break we come back we'll talk more about this game, we got a lot to get into as the Buffalo Bills have made their statement.

You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio all very never been on national or all of your all really appreciate to call JR first article are the children of always enjoyed your stove.

Thanks for taking the call the JR love to show you almost every night appreciated coldly now with 855-2124 CBS that's right it's the JR sport ratio here with you on see be asked sports radio 31 send the Buffalo Bills be the Los Angeles Rams and we get to the top of the hour going to go through the big plays of the game will even hear from Von Miller going out there and making his debut with the Buffalo Bills. Especially coming off the heels of the championship that he just one with the Rams. 2/7 sacks it. Matthew Stafford was sacked seven times tonight Von Miller handed them to level Sean McVeigh is the first time under Sean McVeigh that the Rams are under 500 and yeah sure it's one game but the Rams been pretty damn good. Sean McVeigh has already shown himself to be an amazing coach's man is 36 years old 36 years old. He just got a contract extension.

He outsmarted himself when he took on Bill Bella check three years ago that's even that's wild to think about getting the opportunity and going to a Super Bowl with Jared Goffin and actually winning the Super Bowl a couple seasons later and this is an amazing story, so we hear from Sean McVeigh as well at the show continues on Justin is having a chat with the media and he is really straightforward guy's a great coach and to be honest I got it. I gotta tell you year's contract extension takes them through 2026. Whether it was a matter of negotiation, which is highly likely probable saying that he was going to potentially step away your Amazon had offered him a gig where he was going to go into TV you think about the money that's being thrown around right now he can go ahead and make $10 million a year as a coach. 12. Whatever the case might be to make more as a broadcaster not have to go out there and spend all season all year long.

The hiring guys firing dies.

But it's competition. Sean McVeigh is a young man at 36 years old and he's going to have plenty of time to step into that television role. If you should choose. It also would not surprise me if they are able to win another Super Bowl will retain more success if you were just gonna step away similar to what he wants. He threatened to do, but the possibility was certainly floated around that he might do so and so good for him.

A contract extension handed out to Sean McVeigh, and a few hours later they loose one game one game out of 17 will and I have some overreactions I wouldn't go crazy about what the Rams did or did not do tonight.

It was certainly ugly but we do know this and it what it what is the shock of what is a surprise. Buffalo Bills have been good for a few years now they've gotten better with Josh Allen at the helm. Why would we think with all the talent that they now have after the opportunities that have been presented to them over the past few years, especially the way they lost in the playoffs to the Chiefs earlier this season. Why would we think that they they wouldn't be ready for this moment or this opportunity. Status: a few great neck CBS sports radio what's up Scott hey pretty sure that would laugh a lot and this is a brand-new season and Buffalo is ready. They came out and I like what the announcer said the Rams put up a banner, but the bills put on a show and tenant halftime could have been a lot better Bill but turnovers big difference is the bills defensive line, and I von Miller creating opportunities for other players. They don't even miss. I mean, you know, knock on wood. What's going happen when they get their starting cornerback sedan West light where we live in big right now.

Bills were on opening night in the NFL. It's an amazing time to be about how to send it back to you on that will thank you, you damn right, absolutely, and we had a whole inside conversation about this last night I sat here and gave you my top six list and I said the team that is most likely with the team that has the best chance and opportunity to go on when the Super Bowl is the Buffalo Bills. We got a lot of will not. Not to say a lot but old guys can't sit at the top the mountain forever. Here, Tom Brady won his championship is another one coming.

Maybe I wouldn't discount him but Tom Brady's been around Alan Rogers will not be shocked if you want another one know I wouldn't. But it's been about 12 years now. At this point Russell Wilson is out here trying to prove himself to the world with a new team as our entire article today about how they all a lot of people in Seattle who felt and feel that Russell Wilson is washed up so that he is on his way that his mobility has declined that he can't move around that he can't run the way that he used to that he ain't worth. So he's in Denver. Ben Roethlisberger is gone, Phil Rivers is gone.

Matt Ryan is not gone, but he's pretty much on his last legs and his last stand here with the cults were in a New World of NFL QB's get used to it. You gotta be shocked if Josh Allen once a championship hell no you won't, you'll think Justin Herbert is is likely to to take that next step this year Super Bowl earlier this season, we saw a man wanted championship at LSU. We saw Joe borrowing the Cincinnati Bengals in the Super Bowl. It's nice that we got a new era. That's why I was looking at Tom Brady earlier this year and he finally retired in and of 40 days. Ladies, I am back. I thought Alan Rogers is known to be the graybeard guy running around if I'm being honest year. I wouldn't be mad or upset if Alan Rogers and Tom Brady never won another title. This is new.

Our new time.

Herbert more homes. Alan Jackson dammit I guess you can while you he got to the playoffs and he got is as warped you throw, Murray and still exciting facia board yet that I leave out young quarterback Joe Burrow, Matt Jones, Zane and getting ready now. I think you should you should leave out Zach Wilson Zach Wilson plays football yes that's my point.

I didn't know he plays football I mean by me eventually scummy price young Caleb Williams, Anthony Richardson. I'm a debt I mean when an organ to be in five years. JR is gone be very exciting. You know I we might have to move the needle when it comes down to like the tears of quarterbacks right is a slight outbred I always say it starts you got that top third got the guys in the middle got a whole bunch of bombs in the bottom third. You mention Watson not help.

If you want to come.

I think the seat is he playing football will not for the foreseeable future. Not 11 games and can we still consider him to be in that young guy space. I want to say without without looking up he sees he's more homes is H Rice, who is 26 right so he's still up to the young quarterback Amy Brady was an easy target.

26. He actually has a birthday Sean Watson's birthday is next week. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be celebrating that with the theory you good for him he will be 27 years old, but based on the incoming rookies and in some of the guys that you just mentioned we might be in an NFL where it's it's half-and-half maybe maybe maybe I don't know you think about these quote quote young guys. They're not going anywhere and by the time some of the other quarterbacks reach maturity.

They're going to still be hell in their primes man so we might realistically be in an NFL if we fast-forward for five years from now wishes like you either got a good quarterback you got a bomb it's is probably going be pick one.

One of the other. Who do you have more homes isn't going anywhere. Allen isn't going anywhere for all intent and purposes yes to shut mentioned in the Sean Watson isn't going anywhere.

Joe Burrow, haven't nobody even talks about Trevor Lawrence and who knows, maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars is a franchise as an organization will eat him alive. But Trevor Lawrence was a the best quarterback prospect that the NFL has seen since Andrew luck, and maybe he needs to watch the stench of urban Meyer off of him.

You can go ahead and throw him in that group when it comes down to potential insults. A beautiful time to be an NFL fan as our previous and prior colleges said it's a beautiful time of your family Buffalo Bills because you have one of those quarterbacks you have a Josh Allen you have someone that you can potentially look at for the next 10 maybe 15 years knowing that you got a chance and opportunity in the league is built for right now it's a passing league somebody one day real soon small throw for 6000 yards. We've already seen it with someone like Lamar Jackson. We will have a guy throw for three and 4000 yards and give you another one thousand 1100+ on the ground.

The NFL is built for offense.

It's built for scoring this a reason right now that the quarterbacks again pay $50 million. Alan Rogers is sitting on a 50 mill Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow are going to blow that open Josh Allen got his money. 43 million per what you think Josh Allen's next deal will look like and what you think Josh Allen's next deal will look like if he can actually help lead the bills not just of the Super Bowl before the bills to actually win it.

That's not a far-off possibility that's realistic as all hell, even if it doesn't happen this year, but the bills are certainly built for and let's see what they can do the rest of the season think we know they don't will pass okay and heat.

Meanwhile year. The Rams just one game they got some work to do and hopefully right now, this minute, this second Matthew Stafford hope he has that elbow wrapped please get a massage or some BenGay maybe have a glass of wine. I don't know the JR sport re-show your CBSSports radio when we come back within a play you some audio Von Miller just spoke to recap the game you will hear from Von's the JR sport re-show CBSSports radio
