9.6.22 - JR SportBrief Hour 2

You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you're listening to your support on CBS radio and we are coming to you live from the rocket mortgage Studios when you need cash out of your home in a simple way to get it rocket can. I will be hanging out here with you for the next three hours. I hope you had a tremendous Tuesday. Hope you had a damn good Labor Day weekend shut off everybody listening all over North America on the free Odyssey Apple phones, tablets, laptops, computers, VCRs, eight tracks, arming whatever you know, I'm glad it's a lesson we got people listening on our many CBS sports radio affiliates. We got people listening on Sirius XM channel 158 your folks listening on smart speakers. We got a lot to do I get started till 10 PM Eastern time, 7 PM Pacific. Thank you to super produce and host Dave Shepherd and thank you to you for listening 855-2124 CBS is how you reach me on the phone lines at JR sport brief is how you reach me on all social media is shop you got you got a CD you still got CDs I used to.

I may not last 20 some years ago. You haven't had a CD in 20 years.

Yeah, and I'm with the timeshare right you would expect any less now that I'm saying you 20 years is a lot you the last time, use a CD was 20 years ago I probably exaggerating little bit but is in a long time 10 years ago, people still at CDs but not me. You know you had iPod you graduated early.

No more CD right that I appreciate that the only time in life and graduate early in anything. So thank you for that. You're welcome. How many times you get love back old zero times, but I wasn't. You know I'm in I was Mr. Einstein. All of a sudden okay with that. Yeah that people of somebody out there will know.

I wonder someone has know the answer is no more.

Maybe. Maybe somebody is recording like CBS sports radio playing it back on a CD just like one person doing it right. If that yet. Let's pray for that purpose. Let's pray for them anyway right before we went to break.

We might as well but have a moment of prayer for Pete Carroll because Pete Carroll believes that the expectations for the Seattle Seahawks should still be in that 10 when range. I don't know if he believes that Russell Wilson is somehow inside of you know Gino Smith for if he thinks Bobby Wagner's still anchoring the center of his defense but someone please check on and pray for Pete Carroll he might have to go back to what USC to find some type of success and he might have to pay some players as well when anyway to get into college football momentarily. You know, last hour we took a look at Tom Brady and listen to some of his points from his podcast as to the why he's returning in going to get into Jason peters going. You know he's a Eagles legend and now this man is going to be playing the Cowboys, Patrick Beverly is teamed up with Russell Westbrook, NFL start of this season is only two days away with the Buffalo Bills in the Los Angeles Rams. We got tennis a lot of tennis that has gone on over the weekend while I was on my short Labor Day vacation.

So we have a lot to do but before I say anything I want you to hear one more time and then were going to make fun of Brian Kelly LSU will get there in a second listen to Tom Brady on his let's go podcast on Sirius XM basically describe the every body Wada. Hell, he's coming back. I just felt like I had a little left and want to give a shot and I owed it to my teammates and our great coaches in our organization. We built some pretty special here in Tampa last few years and you know, we're pretty close. Last year at the end of last year we lost to the Super Bowl champ. You know they made a few more plays and we did not came.

You know the competitive fire still burns in. I guess the competitive fire burns more than the fire to stay at home but anyway if you want my full thoughts on that and you missed it last. I will go ahead and hit reply on the free Odyssey at but were going to hit fast forward because the NFL season is getting ready to launch on on Thursday night.

Thank God.

Thursday night football. How do we get here. It's Tuesday, September 6.

How did we get here. I feel like every day is one big day. Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm living in an alternate dimension but anyway the NFL is coming up college football is in full swing. And I gotta be honest you. I like football like the next person. Some people have their preference NFL over college. I don't care as long as I can see people hit each other in a not hidden me I'm I'm fine with it.

But the thing about college football.

The one thing that I don't like is when we start off the season and it's just like asphalt and spray everybody because some of these scores. I look at the teams and I identify who's playing and I go I watch and that and I go on checking on that game and I say all I'll try to see what this game looks like and I'm going to quit and we got a lot of that in court "week one. I don't even pay attention to that that that weeks 09 cents and so we saw a lot of teams that will ultimately be competing in the college football playoff annihilate teams and by the way. Give it a few years and I college football playoff will include every body and their mama and so if you don't like blowouts at the beginning of the college football season before they really start getting into their own conference games.

Wait until you start getting blowouts and asked weapons and the actual college football playoff when it expands, but that's a conversation for another day. If you got a look at some of the action over the weekend. How about I start off what what what my local team here, the Georgia Bulldogs play right on down the road in Athens. They were able to launch this past weekend against Oregon against the ducks. The defending national champs, which basically sent almost half of its damp defense straight into the NFL is supposed to be a little bit of a drop off right.

The Oregon ducks.

They came in ranked number 11 they got their asses whipped so bad that they fallen out of the top 25 you now number 26 of the Bulldogs beat the living hell out of the ducks, 49, 23 here in Atlanta. It is so bad so ridiculous I watch that game and said I want to know more this anymore life for what the Bulldogs scored a touchdown on their first seven possessions and Kirby smart the man who is now paid $11.2 million a year.

Only Nick Sabin gets paid more than 11.7 Kirby smart he spoke after the win and he talked about his team's mindset for the rest of the season came here again is really simple call is a great staff right now is is that you are going to work together.

When I got up and shut up.

What is he a stenographer in a press conference of applicant's.I will say this though. Once that's invented man a lot of people that made an apology for what he ate. One of the best he's good he's okay. I mean, did you not yet listed yourself in the beginning my long in the sour do not. Did you not to say seven touchdowns in their first stop in possessions you equally well I mean we know any good.

1119 JR yes do you think he's he ate no Stroud man, while no Stroud Fry think he's ovulating coming and that the Heisman favor. All the sudden and illegal.

You know, meanwhile the guy wanted. Listen, let's not you can throw Stetson Bennett all the flowers that you want. This is also still someone who had an if he was so damn good he be gone okay.

Maggie Haskell met Leonard stated next year. He should have either this guy to stay an extra year. Yes he did, because this man wants all the extra breakfast is in lunches and dinners in Athens that he can get his hands on and so yes cool to him. I think that's Morgan Mrs. Morgan indication of the strength of the Bulldogs and people probably looking at the docs and giving them a little bit too much. Love you guys. The last JR yet half the dam squad. Guess that's about this though, I I am given him his due good and he still ain't one of the best damn quarterback.

He's not in the upper echelon your tough oh you damn right I'm tough. I'm also honest we know who the top QB's are. He's good.

He's deserving of praise gain at the top of the top and so the Bulldogs will be right there at the end of the season and the college football playoff which is no shock, which is no surprise but Stetson Bennett man. He's good. He one of the best and if he was, they wouldn't have been so many conversations about whether or not he's going to return what he's going to go home. What he's going to try again. He's trying again because he's good because he has experience in this is pretty much going to be the ultimate penalty met last stop on his career mean if he can sneak in somewhere in and be a prone and God bless and but this man is at the top of his game and good for him as he continues on to throw you know touchdowns in the first seven possessions. Every game no this is my point. This is the asked weapon time of the season so the Georgia Bulldogs.

They were favored to beat Oregon by about 16, 17 points in a been about 46 let's see what happens as we get a little bit later in the year because we know the other team and they certainly do have someone who's one of the best QB's probably flat in the entire college football system right now.

Someone was definitely going to the NFL. They got Bryce Young in Alabama went out there. They beat the living hell out of Utah State 55 to nothing yet. I watch this game.

I look at the score I looked at the opponent I said night watch and and that's all it is. Alabama will probably beat up on Texas this upcoming Saturday trying to slowly but surely indoctrinate Texas into the SEC over the next few seasons in Alabama.

We know is going to going to the college football playoff and then we got a team last night. This was another asked what come on now. What was this crap last night we had Clemson they beat Georgia Tech 41 to 10. I can walk to Georgia Tech from right here on Peachtree Street in that way I can walk over to Georgia Tech.

Maybe I can help coach Jeff Colson plays maybe I can help him out with time management. Because ultimately, Clemson should've beat the living hell out of them earlier than they did and they still beat them 41 to 10, but he is a problem with Clemson. Trevor Lawrence is gone to Sean Watson is not Taj Boyd been gone. DJ we underlay he ain't the guy and we been looking at this dude since he helped replace Trevor Lawrence on Trevor Lawrence's way out the door and he got a little bitter taste and he hasn't shown a whole lot since then and somehow someway dabble Sweeney with Kate club Nick pretty much that the quarterback who might take his job dabble Sweeney always look at the positive that he feels good about DJ. I think it's all DJ do things tonight did you know we needed to see that he did new last year. Many made a lot of plays with his legs. He showed great leadership, great moxie. It stop it may be dabble Sweeney and Pete Carroll had a call together about quarterback optimism. Pete Carroll is in the NFL talking about Gino Smith and yeah yeah yeah I'm not lower my expectations lower than 10 wins in it. We got dabble Sweeney talking about DJ.

We underlay saying all man yeah is great. What is legs will it be nice if the man could actually identify a Pastor Pastor's first option is not that good and DJ I will probably run all over Farman what are you going to do when the games actually count me actually matter and not playing teams that are just showing up to collect the check. Come on now is come to earth.

And speaking of checks this game on Sunday. I told you I was going to get the Brian Kelly.

This was hilarious. People actually get there. Looking for Brian Kelly to fail. They really are.

He left Notre Dame high and dry basically ditched his players at the end of the season, as if trying to complete a pretty much for playoff spot a bowl game. Shauna make something out of themselves. He's like I'm out takes a 10 year deal $100 million to go down the Baton Rouge and LSU and take their money and try to really take use of their recruiting pool and do some damage and in this first day, what happens, LSU loses the Florida State Seminoles without them often parts they lose on a block point after attempt.

Brian Kelly looks like a full out there and people are killing him online. After one day and maybe he'd get a little bit more of a grace period, if he didn't just leave Notre Dame as a jackass if he didn't show up to LSU would all of a sudden a fake accent and if he also wasn't just a jerk.

I mean who can forget when he showed up, and by the way Brian Kelly is from the Northeast. I'm talking about way up in the Northeast. I am talking about Massachusetts. Dick accent North East and all of a sudden he gets down to Louisiana and he sounded like this. I believe that I can make a significant difference here and and you want to be able make a difference in and I along with the support our president president take the administration collaboratively to make a big difference. Well, that was some some a little bit more normal. But when he got there he sound like a complete jackass. You sound like a transplant who thought and try the force transplant like it so you what's even more ridiculous Brian Kelly. After getting his ass what the looking ridiculous against Florida State having a team that was not disciplined in any regard, he actually stood in front of the media and he talked about what they did and what they didn't do well. Despite all of those things. I stand here in front of you with an opportunity to bring the game into an overtime situation so what we did well.

As we battled proud of the way we battled what obviously we needed a better display with a sense of urgency for four quarters, which we did not. I almost got us into overtime or something to hang your hat on right almost got there we battled, then you better do a lot better job battling sure LSU can give them $100 million to just quote "when game one but every game that he loses an embarrassing fashion. He's going to be reminded about how much of a jackass he is especially way he left Notre Dame people are never going to forget that and he's not set himself up on the right foot because today during his press conference and speaking to the media. Brian Kelly wasn't happy that some of the reporters arrived late. He decided to call them out on it and kind of I guess make a joke, then sound like a joke in one of the reporters responded. You'll hear her off-camera. She pretty much says well maybe if you won the football game arrive on time. Ouch. Listen with that will will open up to this late arriving media crowd that that most of the joint to the weekend at usually $10 report in the kitty for what will will have a big bash at the end of the year at my place.

I don't think it is a loser with when it hasn't been on time. Ouch. Maybe if you win I'll be on time and even more of a kick to the stomach. If she said well did you lose because maybe you were partying over the weekend. I have no idea Brian Kelly needs the pompous breaks just coastal football team that his press conferences, and every time he opens up his mouth is going to be fodder for people like me to remind him about how he treated Notre Dame on the way out and he better get the winning otherwise you just can be criticized all the damn time and if you look at the college season the college football season, which we all know culminates in a 14 playoff you know, last season we got some usual suspects I'd say Michigan was able to make its way and Cincinnati made its way and I don't expect to see that again become all let's be real. Looking to have some combination of Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan. Maybe somebody else jumps back in there. I don't think it's going to be Clemson unless Trevor Lawrence goes back to college and this is this is the way things are.

So get used to it will go to see Alana ASP opens here to start off the college football season when it's all said and done, I would not be shocked or surprised if we saw the Bulldogs in Alabama again must be reminded Nick Sabin looked at last year where they actually lost the Bulldogs Nick Sabin said are you that was just a rebuilding year for us. Ouch. What a way to stick at the Kirby smart and demand that you make 1/2 million dollars more than it's a hard knock life the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio 855-2124 CBS.

That's 855-2124 CBS after the first full weekend of college football action man.

I look at all the beatings that were handed out a look at all the blowouts I say to myself, this is the this is same old same old.

You know what the ball down to Alabama and Georgia.

The Bulldogs in you know whoever else will decide to occupy the other two spots I don't think Cincinnati is going to bounce back last year was pretty much an outlier would be surprised if Ohio State got back in it between Ohio State and Michigan. I guess they can battle it out for one of the two spots it is will be tougher both within the grab both spots, but I mean damn the same old same old. Every year I guess this is why Nick Sabin is run around saying give me $11.7 million why Kirby smart is now get 11 to and we got Brian Kelly, who at some point over the next 10 years will be expected to win a national championship but for right now. Things did not start off all that great.

855-2124 CBS Alice: from the wall is your CBS sports radio and I'm excellent now.

What's on your mind to quick bring Brian Kelly. No real quick. I've never really followed right at your new up you know you follow if you know I bought what I can't say I do remember when Brian Kelly left Cincinnati I think you left the same way that there were like going to all of the major and so I'm kind of confused why people hope it all of that a while how you love the bankruptcy done before the I don't think it's anything you don't, but you you you. What don't you understand, he pretty much it's one thing to do something one go-round. It's another thing when you get your ass within the court of public opinion, and you come back and do it again at a larger program and you you you have upward mobility. He pretty much looked his students in the face after the news already broke and told them all. Hey, I'm, I'm sure you know this but I'm I'm gone. I mean where is the honor and that it's not about all will. He did it. A ready it's about hey if you do it. It don't matter it is. It's not right no matter if it's the first time second time third time aforethought at the group. I look at it like that you I don't know.

Partly out of the good Lord you know when it was wedded. Well college NBA. You know you think that money rolled in IL and with you know now changes you know I will states, I agree with you, and it's not it's not take it a step further.

It's not. I don't agree with you what you just said this fact. But this is where this is where line does need to be drawn don't shovel people you know what you get what I'm saying yeah like don't don't roll up in people's houses, recruiting don't stand in front of the media. This is really what it boils down to it thank you Alpha: from from New Orleans don't shovel people you know what get to be honest, shoot straight, we are always people who make all this money and the checks are going to cash either way.

But what you don't want your feelings hurt. You want to be called out for being a liar for being a jackass. Kimono students didn't care how he Brian Kelly hey guys, a money send let me send my students a group text message hey guys, let's meet. Let's meet at that you know 8 AM on Tuesday morning. I'm sure you saw the news. The news is all over the place like with Pharma student while my showing up. If I'm a student I might be getting ready to play in the biggest game of my career as a student athlete all Brian Kelly was my guy and I helped recruit me. They help bring me in and he's bailing you. You can even tell us, we know it's all about money.

That's why think a lot of what goes down in college athletics for years is just been a sham. But, we got the coaches a lot. We got coaches want to complain. Some of them about the structure and who's getting the money and where the money is coming from, and now we basically have/bonds to help bring in a particular players into programs: where is the honor were we going to do one day all we ever do we ever are we ever going to have a college culture college football coach stand up in front of everybody and say hey you, I'm leaving Walmart, leaving I'm leaving to go get the money. I'm sorry I'm leaving. They don't pay me more money to have a deeper recruiting pool to grab players from going to the SEC on out we have a guy have somebody do that no because everybody can come to tiptoe around it and everybody needs to hold hands. That's why Brian Kelly can sit at a news conference today and you don't talk to the reporters and tell them all you you you guys you guys were you guys were you guys were late or who have the student reporters work for you Brian Kelly man just shut up" call out the report will call out the coaches. Nobody, the coaches can make all the money in the world. But the minute a player make some money all men. We got getting together.

Stop it, stop the Shan stop the mockery. That's why Brian Kelly him remind people here all the time we got people who want to come out and just leave the students high and dry. Leave the student athlete high and dry not be honest in front of the student athlete. The minute the student athlete makes a dime or buck the coaches. The first one the Juan pitch Mona complain about it.

Brian Kelly will probably find success of Atlas LSU.

At some point over the next 10 years he might find his way into a national championship or he just might be a joke, and I'll be here to remind you, because yeah it's all about the business and it's all about the money but I'm going remind you, hey, you may be honest about it. So what's the big deal. This is a double standard that that the coaches can come out make all the money in the world and they can operate like that on some type of high cloud in the sky within the players. They just gotta is gotta yell Sylvia play maybe get scrap school BS is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio BS is something I try not to deliver similar to the man with him to talk about on the other side of the break. You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio your credit your profession. You are a rare radio personality balance.

Back with whatever colors Collingwood also called Grayling for Crystal. Thank you. Love you Coley now with 855-2124 CBS's the JR sport ratio here with you on CBS sports radio.

We talked about quiet a few quite a few coaches here when it's a Pete Carroll decal, delusional looking at the Seahawks and saying that his expectations are anywhere less than 10 wins well. He needs to get hit with the reality stick and he will. Gino Smith will probably head and would it given to three weeks over on the college side, something that Pete Carroll is very familiar with. We saw Brian Kelly in his debut here with LSU, not some pretty undisciplined seeing smacked around here not all that great, undisciplined squad, back LSU losing the Florida State, but right now want to talk to you about. I won't let let's get to two coaches, Deion Sanders, by the way, with Jackson state agent being people out. Well at least the first game they beat the rattlers Florida A&M 59 to nothing. I didn't then starter did make a mistake.

59 to nothing and all week long. All week or excuse me, I do give me if your goal 59 23. My apologies.

Florida A&M sorry Mr. fugal hey Shelby think I get a call or email but I forgot the three points gets no probably not. Deion Sanders, his son should our he's the starting quarterback. His numbers five touchdowns.

He completed 29 of 33 passes for 323 yards and everything with Jackson state. Unfortunately, Jackson, Mississippi.

They had the flood last week while they were preparing and they have to find somewhere to practice in somewhere to live. They had no problems. They destroyed him in every single week. Deion Sanders and Jackson state. They garner more and more and more attention. I just hope that the attention that he's gonna ring helps, spread out the love to other HBCUs and it it certainly is garnering attention hope it continues to be the right attention and so congratulations to Deion Sanders in this program so far here on their start. Let's see what they can continue to do in the slack and for other HBCUs now.

Meanwhile, in the NFL. There's another head coach, someone who I think deserves the utmost respect and and who has continued on and on and on to just prove that he's worthy of being one of the youngest is still crazy to its crazy thing about this a shot.

Mike Tomlin got the job after tower at 35 years old 35 still looks it. It does all right now. He sees 49 years old a matter fact. Apologies, he just turned 50. Congratulations to Mike Tomlin, the man has yet to have a losing season is got a couple of 500 years has yet to have a losing season and yes, things gotta be very different with Ben Roethlisberger now gone and he brought in Mitch Stravinsky from the Chicago Bears. This is his second chance.

They drafted Kenny Pickett. They did not draft Kenny Pickett suggests, you know, sit up on the shelf and collect dust. Ultimately he's going to get his chance to play and start especially for player who came out of pit easel get his chance and so it was finally announced and showcased to the world on their official depth chart that your biz. He's going to get the start now who shot no one should be shocked you got a veteran here regardless of what you think about Mitch Stravinsky. He has had some type of success playing for the bears, not the success that they wanted and then you have Kenny Pickett who has yet to throw an NFL pass typically common sense will tell you just in order to keep the locker room and the highest place a confidence. It's not be a clown show you give the veteran that you brought in a shot unless Kenny Pickett has absolutely outplayed and that's not the case yet because Kenny Pickett has yet to play in an NFL game.

Yes, he's look great in the preseason is going be a whole new can of worms. When team start opening up their playbooks. It's different. Mr. Bilski is seen it let Kenny Pickett see it on the sidelines first and so of course Mike Tomlin, one of the best coaches in the NFL someone who always for the most part as much as he can be is pretty much honest and straightforward Mike Tomlin. He was very clear on who the hell they're starting quarterback is Mr. Bilski is our starting quarterback in our captain that we just really comfortable. What Mitch is showing us he's got it came to us with the franchise quarterback experience. If you will. He's comfortable in those shoes is been the focal point of a football team and organization before this man is he doesn't mince words eat. That's one thing I appreciate about my Tommy gets gets right to the point in yellow coaches.

Half of the job is to be honest. At one point and can't be reserved on the other nobodies other than the shoulder cards when he gets right to the point in he's beloved by his players for that same point someone else and I guess this is Ben Roethlisberger chiming in. He's the latest athlete to have his own podcast shop notices. Oh my God, what is Ben Roethlisberger's new podcast called MRI.

He has like ball and at the end of the name what what what is this called this is very very football and it's called wise a cold football and wooden H help me out.

Do you know why you better to know I'm going to name our podcast football and within a football and yet that that's something to why the name it added.

I sure as hell didn't make you guys can find something to read the NFL didn't want to summons going to want him, but it sure his name will anyway. Ben Roth is slow's better name than that nevermind anyway football and let's see how long it takes me before I say something else and get the name confused Ben Roethlisberger on his own podcast football and he talks about why Mitch Stravinsky should be the starting quarterback and model Hall of Fame QB would I continuity answer.

Listen he's the guy that brought me here for reason. I think he's going to mentor Kenny. I think you'll really help Kenny a lot right but in my opinion it's all it should be Mitch's job for the time being and in Mitch plays well, keeping them in their you know. And even if even if Mitch has a bad game or something doesn't mean just yank like your people and people are so eccentric, in which the sugar music pit. Write your play. And so the they're super excited form, but I just don't. I just hope the fans don't like the first time in Mitch doesn't play well they don't start like the water yank and produce on that because this is going to happen. You could give a guy a chance to keep going or whatever all so it'll be a nurse to see but I do in my opinion feel that it is Mitch's job. He hasn't dieting to lose the job he's played well enough as well to keep it in our starter but ultimately coached his decision to go to the hard thing that people think about is that it's really hard to back-and-forth or think you Ben Roethlisberger hey shop he played in the NFL for almost 20 years to deliver that to us want to say 18 what we out and play the identical one pass in the NFL. One is what is Ben Roethlisberger going to give us something a little bit deeper on his knees is a Hall of Famer, or Ben Roethlisberger's or is also the whole thing was that what was so difficult to understand about that. There's nothing I just saying AZ's Mees made his dutiful boys got nothing left to prove right given the benefit of doubt of what audience anything is breathtaking in that in that clip all exactly. That's why look. I don't know. Maybe he'll tell some stories and some of episodes will talk more about than some of the up and comers on the other side of the break. The JR sport ratio CBSSports radio
