Sometimes I'm walking around my house and I got a plan on the phone and move it to a speaker in and I got the phone in my back pocket and I'm walking around in just taking what you anywhere. It's simple thank you to folks who have no choice. They got a listen on Sirius XM thank you everybody listening stationary somewhere on a on a smart speaker less than 24 hours away from the start of the NFL season, what you doing. Where will you be where you will watch the game got your fantasy lineups all set. What are you going to eat what you going to send me to eat. I'm perennially hungry all the time. Hey Shep, you think about a problem, no okay I like the man I will eat all day every day multiple times a day and I just like food man like healthy like phytochemicals, greens, you only like Calen carrots and broccoli right now that's that's not true that you're very healthy. I yet this is called balance. I am like I love a good kill Sally get some chickpeas and is carrot some salmon you know quinoa, how I love it. But if I'm feeling it all out to down a whole Domino's Pizza none press Sasha know now you speak my language not my my stomach just growled I had been taken sounded so good right about now I'm hungry. I got a relaxing number.

It was that what to three months ago we had callers telling me where I could find Wendy's and remember that yes at 3 AM I people calling me from I don't know if somebody call from Topeka Kansas and said hey JR, there is a there is a Wendy's open on the south side of Atlanta. You just go down there and in the open until three on my thank you very much. Thank you for googling that for me. We have some great listeners and so listen as we continue on with the show.

I will continue to engage in is also I'm here for.

I want to sit here and just talk to my damn so what will that that's crap. Not doing that.

So here's the deal in abound, 15, 20 minutes from now. About 15 to have a conversation with someone who played in the NFL right before we went to break. We talked about Jason peters. The fact that this man I'm sure he's out quite a few Wendy's and Domino's and maybe not, but he's an offense of line the now for the Dallas Cowboys want to talk to a three-time Super Bowl champ someone who's had experience in the NFL on an offense of line marks F is going to join us so we'll have that conversation with him I'll ask him about peters and speaking of the Rands Whitworth is gone. He retired old graybeard offense of lineman he's gone now he's going to be calling games and so will talk to Schley Ruth about some of these offense of lineman also exciting and then I'll ask him about food as well and will get it to some some NFL you should know this as well.

It's Wednesday night. What is that me this to be a new top six list and so an hour from now I'm going to give you my list of the top six teams heading into this 2022 season and so we we went to somebody's games last hour. I told you about the games and I'm ready to see obviously the bills and Rams kick things off tomorrow.

It's extremely difficult to say all men.

This team is going to win a gold bloated squad out and so I'm just going with the home team I'm picking Rams. These are two awesome teens we know Von Miller went from the Rands where you want to Super Bowl got a six-year contract. Now with the Buffalo Bills and now he's going to try to destroy Matthew Stafford and Von Miller is also going to try to pick up his third Super Bowl ring with his third team in the bills are definitely definitely a team that a lot of people are looking at even though the Rands just won the title.

We look at some of the other matches to start the year. Start the season Tampa Bay and Dallas Sunday Night Football Russell Wilson goes back to Seattle Monday Night Football and then we have Baker Mayfield the whole world.

Can't wait to see Baker light up the Cleveland Browns right sure you write your miles.

Garrett will probably pummel this man into the ground. Or maybe Baker Mayfield throws three touchdowns. Who knows maybe you'll connect with his best friend Robbie Anderson and so it's nice to have the NFL back. It's nice to get the season started, but I gotta tell you this. We went to a lot of teams last hour we talked about the commanders. Someone mentioned the New York Giants yet Four Winds is probably the max what they can do and then not yet we we talked a little bit about the.

The NFC East. Obviously there with the cowboys but I want to hit this real quick.

Lamar Jackson has given the Baltimore Ravens an ultimatum. Lamar Jackson has said y'all are going to pay me and were going to come to an agreement by Friday. Otherwise will going to have to wait on the agreement at the end of the season and like fat Joe has said if we have to go through a full season here. Would Lamar if he is healthy. The price will go up if they franchise tag. Okay fine you just continuing to delay the inevitable. The price will go up. And then, in the case of Lamar Jackson every day that that man runs around in and I think people don't give him credit for not being hit. He doesn't get obliterated. Man darts weaves and maybe he gets pushed he darts with leaves and then runs out of bounds.

He had out there treating people like a battering ram. He sees now I cam Newton you got catch him first.

But that's not to say once you get into the open field. It's common sense you open yourself up you are more susceptible to injury. That's just discussed the laws of nature have watched hey Shep you ever watch those old National Geographic films like set in the Serengeti or something know what good feature films is not a feature film is a documentary something that you learn something from like five years ago. 30 if I don't watch it you mean it's all me you've never seen a lion just snaps up something in an open field called YouTube going to Michael and I went to watch the stuff in which you seen it before seen it, but rather watch. I'd rather be entertained. Watch films not documentaries… Like a 30 for 30 we have to broaden your horizons anyway. I think most of our listeners are familiar old Nat Geo films it you got an animal out in the open field and in and something ridiculous just snatches it up yet you and open space you're there for the picking and so in relation to Lamar Jackson.

I'm not saying he's he's ripe for the picking get abused in the backfield. For all I know once you stepped past that line of scrimmage and only takes one.

And so it might only take one to I want to see ruin his career. I'm sure he has an insurance policy out if he should be hurt or injured. I don't think the man is going into the poor house, but if you think about the potential money that he could make is he gonna get 230 guaranty probably not.

Is he going to get a more than Kyler is going to exceed 190 and maybe so here we have the game of chicken. He's pretty much the last domino to fall. If you have to think about a quarterback in his contract for the rest of this off-season we got the shock and the surprise would you be garrotte below you'll be sticking around in San Francisco. I want to say he would be babysitting Trey Lance with the reality is, it doesn't matter what Shanahan or Lynch or anybody wants to tell you Jimmy grapples will be looking over that man shoulder and Trey. Lance cannot be comfortable with the current situation.

Everybody got paid or traded. Aaron Rodgers got paid the Sean Watson regardless of the circumstances his ass got paid. Tom Brady left and came back.

Russell Wilson got traded, passively aggressively over the course of 2 Years Forced His Way out, but Lamar Jackson. He still wait and now he has a deadline, but he did speak. He was asked today if there any closer to a contract than a few weeks ago. This is what Lamar had to say how much closer do you feel now as opposed to when you start this process.

Then you begin your training camp or last few weeks. I feel now toward the novel target to talk to Jim about her man is he's a funny he's a funny dude and he is not. I don't think he's intentionally trying to be funny just being himself know how close I worry.

I don't know asked GM you want to gonna go agree to a De La Soul when I want to ask him is he change his mind change her mama like this.

This is a stare down man, it's going be fun. By the time we get you on your Friday night.

I'll have Lovett do they have a contract agreement or do they not is going be fine either way.

And this is where you actually have to say this when he laid down that deadline is a run. I was just talking and we do not over yet but soon to be cut off, kick a ball would not be on Vega Street just kick off Tahoe is a deadline and it is we, as we Friday you have it you will be think about the Jets and I guess that's an easy easy dream to think of sacral Zimbabwe will not be playing for the New York Jets Joe Flocka will be in social flock. Oh, that you can expect to see him probably for the first month of the season. Zach Wilson recovers from a another knee injury. I don't think God, he must hate the Jets think he does one not 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS's get some your calls and before we have a conversation with Mark Schlatter if let's go and start in Colorado was just in Colorado. Let's talk to JJ your CBSSports radio sub JJ JJ got me.

I have you now.

What's going on perfect perfect body. I want to talk about a game tomorrow. Number one I got called in and will shout out how much you love the bell going out there – and how great they are going to pay Josh Allen yeah dog, Dr. Mark dog Devon Singletary dog Devon big dog James Cook. I mean, they got so many great players but going to give their name chance and you're out of your mind. You you think the defending champ that are bringing back their same team are knocking to come in and win that game I've got the land all the way there was one more thing that I wanted to put on here. I do not understand, and I am brewing through Minnesota Viking fan but worry why why they would Kirk Huggins when he seven and 37 against winning team will let me ask you a question what is with all that is been invested. Up until now it's a Kirk cousins when you think about the roster that is surrounding him.

It's almost like the Minnesota Vikings are stuck in purgatory, and if they are going to remove Kirk cousins from the situation which they if they think it's a tough deal to just say get the hell out of here. It will be a complete tear down and so they are so far deep so far into the whole. Even with a new regime, even with a new coach, a new general manager. I don't think they are enamored or in love with Kirk cousins but it's like it's like that, relative that you send your family that you love them, but where you do with where you put them you can't get rid of you, stucco on here but you like your program don't like but he bear in it.

You gotta put up with it because I married your cousin okay out of the we were going to this I thought this was going in a different direction, but I did it. This is an in law and in law and in law LK and people hate that you have one. Yeah, we all got them all, all while I'm not married. I don't like yes I do have all the in-laws. I guess they would be but not not be a marriage yet they would be viewed but not not me. I'm not married but do you hate you hate your in-laws you hate no, no, I am logged in the far get in law and not that one standout person that like there to be around yet a company a house they eat your food and don't bring anything when they come over. They don't know what's on the leave like that type of person right yet in bringing going there or something that or like you said, good, valid that some kale salad with control you like kale salad and chickpeas you like that so oh yeah yeah so I brought that to my house have to be upset at them a lot.

I'll eat that on my own but don't bring that to my house and bring anything.

Oh yeah I know that's been in there worthy of of hate.

Hate is a strong word.

I don't I wouldn't say I hate anybody but that's worthy of it.

But man Kirk Krugman went after somebody obviously probably not a good Sean Watson but maybe they should when operating Russell Wilson or somebody else to change your already in the change.

Margaret might as well revamp and get prepared for the next 2 to 3 years will let me tell you this and JJ thank you for calling Colorado a whole, but everything we do in-laws a fine. Don't take my advice, you end up on the street but the fact is man they have so much of an investment into Kirk cousins in the past extensions. Even now, and recently I know Colleges, but I know enough that they just cannot dump this guy. Otherwise they would have. It's gonna be a slow burn for him.

Minnesota Vikings are they okay there in purgatory.

Okay fine you got some rowdy here and you got Kevin O'Connell in the building and and I don't know if you guys remember I was up in Minnesota. I was at TCO at the practice facility a few months ago and we did a beautiful piece with Harrison Phillips. By the way no longer a member of the Buffalo Bills and we did a shoot at Special Olympics and so I had a chance to meet and talk to a lot of the Vikings.

We spoke to new head coach Kevin O'Connell who helped the Rams won the Super Bowl as their OC and now he has this job as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings and it's a it's a new start.

It's a new beginning Avenue GMA have a new coach got a new everything. It's it's going to take time, but how many years do we have to run around the Minnesota Vikings being slightly above 500 or slightly below Kirk cousins getting you close to winning a game, and then ill just falling asleep and taking a nap because he is trying to be to perfect. We only had that one. How did you like that from Kirk cousins in one of those is not enough. We have so many damn conversations about food to take a break and we come back we'll talk to someone who was an offense of lineman.

The NFL. He knows about food him and ask him about food lineman who he thinks will potentially win the Super Bowl marks Solaris is going to join us here in a few minutes is the JR sport preshow right here on CBS sports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio is the JR sport preshow right here with you on CBS sports radio you know college football is back about 24 hours away from the NFL being back in right now we are being joined by someone knows all about the NFL use of three-time Super Bowl champion is a former pro bowler tell us about some of these upcoming games this season and also something that I like to do is going to tell us about be a joint by March Larimore how argument that I am doing great things that can get better.

I love this, you're my favorite time of year. The kickoff of the National Football League season is going to be just to be an awesome.all the time.

You know that's the case in your formal offense of lineman when you get into your food momentarily, but I gotta start the conversation off by talking about a few offense of lineman they been in the news recently. A few minutes ago before you joined us. We may share with everybody about Jason peters going from the Eagles being a legend they are spending time with the Bears and now he's a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

How much do you think he has left in the tank than what can you contribute to a Cowboys line which is been decimate the scent Jason peters is not human. Tell you right now that is from a different planet, and even last year plan for the Bears. He was still playing an exceptionally high level is four years old and he's not running out probably weaker to get a couple weeks to take out a get into the groove and and to get into comfortable for you know we always joke around with Joe are the only thing you need to get the football shape is play football so it's gonna take a couple weeks of practice, not only submitted a football shape but also to understand that the terminology is with the offenses but I will tell you, Jason peters is still a top-notch NFL left tackle and so you know that that's a great move for the Dallas Cowboys to build pick him up at this late stage again when we think about some of the offense of Guam and we've seen recently still have amazing careers. It's like guys are are are lasting longer.

We just soar with work decide to hang it up. These, in his 40s we you mentioned peters once the key now the longevity is there something different that you see going on now versus what we saw 20 years ago when you played wall may not be in the living's not out yourself and practice anymore in Alameda. We used to have families of fulltilt scrimmage.

No Wednesday Thursday Friday before you ever got to the game so completely different, how they manage the health of the athletes now.

You know, obviously, training camp where we had to practice a day full pads like fulltilt scrimmage level and they practice once a day. Half the time they're not in pads anymore, so it's really about the league trying to manage the health of their players and doing a much better job that I think creates longevity.

If you're a good player a can also there is a double-edged order that you know if you if you need the work and you're a very wall player. It's hard. It's much harder for you to develop as a player without those practice reps would you like I said, I think most people are willing to trade that development for longevity and health, so I think that's probably one of the big reasons that guys seem to be lasting a bit longer. March letter joining the JR sport preshow CBS sports radio. We know the gods lasted the longest place quarterback Tom Brady at 45 years old. We seen his offense of line the changes we saw him take his two week of personal leave what you foresee for Brady that offense of line in the Buccaneers this season.

Are they still going to be in that Super Bowl conversation be okay. I may know, I get it.

They lost some of the offense of line and Ryan Jensen hopefully will be back this season and so you know he's a really good player but it's funny I was at this old-line conference couple months ago and yelling and Ryan Jensen was there. So were just talking about you know be in the center of Tom Brady because half the time you know where we identify the micro changer protection and Bradys just like a screw we don't worry about it. Y'all have been gone before you ever got a chance to block the second level player number four blitzing linebacker even get to me so like Brady takes a lot of pressure off the guys up front because he did get rid of also quickly as could be so incredibly accurate.

So yeah there are some concerns there for me, but I think you know over the first 3 to 4 weeks of the season.

They iron out most of those things that be okay. I still think they have an elite level just talent level from the receiving standpoint for the running back standpoint and obviously you know with their quarterback, so I think they're gonna be okay. There and in Brady and always I was marvel at his ability at this stage again still play at that level you know. I asked him – last year as I do, what is it about everybody trying to write your bid for the last 12 years you know and people you know and love the people love to write that obit but he just keeps showing up there can so you guys still playing an incredibly high level and I don't expected drop in all this year and why not another 4500+ yards and 30 touchdowns. Let let's get to teams that you played for obviously being a Russell Wilson going from Seattle now to the Denver Broncos. My main man Dalton Reisner will be out there helping to protect them. What you foresee for the Broncos and also not a lot of people talk about washings and the obviously known for the hogs just laid there as well.

What are your thoughts on those two slots.

Anytime you have a franchise go to back like you doing Russell Wilson you got a chance general franchise quarterbacks cover looks and and you know and and essentially your backup quarterbacks expose wards in the Broncos for the last six years. Read about your backup plan for and you knowing and exposes the works of the football team. Now the Brussels and you have a legitimate shot out to be a playoff contender.

I know it's a tough division of the AFC West with Justin Herbert Holmes and Dirk all is incredibly tough, tough division, but you get a chance to compete for the meal wild-card spot.

I still think Kansas City is the class of that class of that division, but I think it's Teichman I think it's tight with all 14 so that's good be incredibly exciting and that the NFC East is interesting. I don't think there's been a repeat. I know there's been a repeat champion of CE since the early 2000 when the Philadelphia Eagles did it so balanced when the division last year means that I can win again this year so it's anybody's ballgame. I think the Eagles are incredibly talented team, but I think Washington is is probably speaking good and it just depends to me on course and winced and that she continue kind of regaining his form he did last year to degree.

Now they miss the playoffs. They lost a game at the end of the season at Jacksonville which you know is inexcusable but the bottom line is he. He rectified some of his rose from his late days in Philadelphia because he was training early in his career before the injuries to be a star quarterback in this league so can he continue that progression that he started last year. Kenny played a high level because they can play at eye level defensively man especially depends upon seven.

They got great players and their offense of line is probably underrated that some receivers he can flat out play in Washington will market think, all things considered.

You probably got a little bit aghast but think that will help out a lot.

Not as long as it is not inmate is the thing that is the thing that would determine read some suitable chant. March letter.

With talk about the food model? Will we get into the grubbing and butchered on the program with over the weekend to share with everybody. My top six list of manifold scene setting into the season. Who do you see as having the best chance to walk away with the Vince Lombardi. By the time we get to Windsor well I think may, I think you look at the AFC and I know a lot of people are picking the bills. I understand that they get such a outstanding roster with a young quarterback see is just loaded, you know, we talk about the homes we got about Justin. Herbert was out about Job or we got about.

Should Lamar Jackson would I like every young clearly back to the National Football League's person AFC.

It it's really Phyllis and then the NFC is more the old guard right we got air arrived yet. Tom Brady.

We got AEW would get those little quarterbacks so you week we kick off the season with with the Rams going as well so like I just bills is probably one of the best chances that it would be great. You know Josh Allen versus Tom Brady. I think that would be a tremendous tremendous manager not be nice to see and look forward to. You know something that we all do Super Bowl time rolls around in every Saturday to college and Sunday to sit down and eat man urine offense of lineman. I know you're much more spout then back in the day what you send down the rub on as we watch these games like one of things I love about the basil brings us together as a community as family unit we get together we need to watch so you home gator tailgating the TVs where I started running 65 inch: C2 series best picture quality, realistic colors, crystal images, no blowing during fast motion scenes, movies, gaming, and what we love sports is the best place to watch her. The best way to watch it LG.com love pizzas well right, no party is complete without pizza Papa John's right now has therefore been pizza thin crust pizza like the shape of a real football and this is I love this.

It is a holiday even know we just came off of one. I would encourage you to take some time off. But that might not be wise and so before we get to the top six list. We do have are quite a few callers who have been waiting also patiently to hop onto the line and so if you want to give me a holler before I share with you my top six list of teams in a few minutes the number here is 855-2124 CBS that is 855-2124 CBS was go out to California. Let's talk to Scott your CBS sports radio what's up Scott Buffalo Bill Super Bowl this year but I like for like 49 year we lost four capable Buffalo Bills so all you like the immediate near corner is not talk about it that night. Michael ever to be the MVP this year. I thought about that. Well I guess I Kevin O'Connell will have to be a miracle worker. This is that things no I don't I don't listen to every word out of the mouth of my and I don't is a lot of people this will will Scott there's a lot of people are just say things I don't know and all of the creed. Well, I've actually spoken to Michael Irvin before, and he's a he's a funny guy. He's a very nice guy you know I don't I take everything set as law like like like like radar and price and I would probably prefer to all and I and all you know their expectation that's really I really try know this is that this will yes we have to play out the season's time thankful: California I don't know if I want to call the Minnesota Vikings team which basically hovers around 500 every season.

I don't want to call that a a sneak up on you. I think I'd rather be in the position of the Buffalo Bills than the Minnesota Vikings and Kirk cousins MVP. What if Michael Irvin said that to me. I just I would even exercise okay yeah okay fine he wins MVP okay I Michael Irvin, you you man on got all Super Bowl rings. I'm not a great while receiver will have none of that man, but sure sure Kirk cousins MVP of what Sidley winks a Shapiro plate Sidley winks no but I played backgammon that close, not enough for less. As Dave Davis call from Alabama your CBS sports radio hey Dave, your plate Sidley winks never heard of it again anyway, what, how, how do you know it's a kiddy game. If you've never heard of it never bothered to find out whether there that advocate again. Okay, so maybe maybe Michael Irvin wins, you know, Sidley winks maybe Kirk cousins is the MVP of Sidley ways. But what's on your mind. Okay hello talk with your producer ASAP and he is.

Mr. Kovach must be cut from the same call with it that that's when she didn't know our nomad everything the pictures yet know they're not excellence, not by no I want to start out just like the NFL ready for cry that dog.

The war crack dislocated collarbones fracture hammers and think will be back in the world and that's just like Warren.

Well you are in part impaled enrollment posted. I even out of, just picked the wait-and-see approach. Okay, yeah, I think you won't be steamrolled and what else did you say toasted and impaled and posted it sounds like Mortal Kombat instead of the NFL game about output so you this way if he can look past his his first option is he, goes through his progressions. I think you'll be okay day long. Right you good okay will thank you so much appreciate you for call from Alabama Roger and he was well life.

Top six list come in soon man patient. Dave is a modern poet man of little what women in him.

You had member that not don't would have gone for six minutes. Oh, he was going to every NFL is just going through everything.
