Those are the kinds of stories I'm diving into on my podcast something off Caterpillar infestation in Maine that is rethinking our relationship with insects talking about time 300 million years ago there was a dragonfly 2 foot wingspan to search for something off Odyssey app or wherever you get your podcast listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio listening for your support on CBS you. That's right, this is CBS sports radio and you are locked in the JR sport brief show that you owe so much. The super producer and host Dave Shepherd and thank you so much that everybody listening all across north America we are coming to you live from the rocket mortgage Studios simple.

If you need to know what it takes longer fit your budget and your family. Rocket can't. It's been an amazing historical Friday afternoon Friday evening and I would be here with you for the next several hours to get you closer to Saturday morning. The NBA has done something which is absolutely out-of-the-box. Bill Russell his number six has been retired we know if we take a look at the MBA works usually major league baseball major league baseball has done a tremendous job in honoring the legacy of number 42 that is Jackie Robinson. And so Bill Russell, the number six is pretty much in that same elk as it's currently retired. You think about the biggest names will be grandfathered into that situation. Lebron James. You can also go ahead and look at someone like he's not Lebron James not by any stretch of the imagination. It's Christophe sports Angus and so it's not just a matter of let's build the patch let's let's throw logo on this is something that will continue on, really throughout the entire season.

Magic Johnson unfortunately after the passing of Bill Russell. He said very simply, the MBA needs to retire. The number and I would've been fine if they did not out in find if they did with the moving in that direction. No one no one will with the number six again and and I can't complain. Not at all yet shuffle to get your thoughts on this.

This is new for the MBA 7576 years old is not that long to have people hear the sound of my voice remember it vividly.

But in the grand scheme of things it's it's it's not a long time. Of course not. But but this decision as as we've alluded to JR, is it is long overdue. The way in jail you know this a lot better than I do because you been doing this nationally for three years. You can do in the Fannin and Atlanta and YouTube channel for forever, so I'm not saying anything you don't know, but we gone the direction and sports where so much of it is predicated on negativity and entitlement in being coddled and just being narrowminded and for lack of a better term, JR selfish, Kevin terrain is one of the top three or four players in the entire world and he has hogged the basketball headlines these past two months because he can't make up his damn mind about what he wants, or at least publicly, he wants to throw the Mets organization. Specifically, Sean Mark Steve Nash under the bus is the antithesis of what Bill Russell was which is you do your job to the best of the ability you handle everything behind closed doors and in the locker room and by the way JR he did this while being the hero of Jackie Robinson while being a confidant of Martin Luther King Jr. excuse me, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and then you look at the athletes we have today and how they are going against the individuals that they wanted to coach their franchise in the first place and they have hundred and $98 million contract may have not set foot on the court to represent a second of that contract and they are still wanting everything changed in their direction.

In their vision is just amazing where we have gone in sports and so it's so fitting and could be more appropriate that the MBA is deciding to retire. Number six that there needs to be more done JR a lot more done absolutely. And when you talk about more beings on it might not come in.

So the next iteration of the collective bargaining agreement which will basically be two seasons from now. But we know this to be fact. If you buy a ticket to an NBA game if you spend your hard earned money to go see one of the top players in the world before, depending on Betsy. Depending on the time of year, depending on injuries you got nothing you love holding the bags. Are you paying money confidently to see Lebron James what are you paying money confidently to go ahead and see Kari Irving play are you paying money to see. I don't know Anthony Davis well good luck.

Let's go to the guard position is sure Garr James Hardin yeah everybody will show up when the sun make money. Kari Irving playing on the last year of his contract. James Hardin just re-upped on his contract, but has a one year route. Basically a one year deal +1 if he doesn't perform. He's gone. Everybody will tell you up and down, up and down but they are about to see that they are about doing what moves the team closer to a championship, but they at the same song we have a lot of individuals were about themselves first.

My talents trumps the team. My talent will get us closer to a title than everybody else here is, we this is an interesting situation if we go ahead and take a look at right now the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tom Brady is back. Tom Brady is ready to play ball, but Tom Brady right now has been excused. Tom Brady will be gone for weeks personal reasons.

Tom Brady will not be throwing the rock away with the Buccaneers and we heard all the rumors. All my God, the Miami Dolphins want Tom Brady to join the slot in 2019 oh my God, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers want Tom Brady to join a team as an owner only a few months ago. What is that that desire has disappeared. It's gone. Are we supposed to ignore the fact that in NFL franchises and Anna want to say.

I guess I can say tamper because that's what they got punished but in NFL team has taken the position of Mangano doing me they can make money, but whistled to make billions of dollars, so who cares. You look at the MBA. It's nice, at least for right now, this moment, the second ethics matter integrity matters, saying that we don't want to highlight this individual for the rest of the season because of their lack of commitments of the team. It matters. Dammit, the MBA that money means a whole hell of a lot more. We don't hear so much about silver your files all the Psalm here Botta to Rossi. Why is that the WNBA is a is a beautiful game is basketball. Are you going to sit down and watch for you and appreciate what you looking at all. Are you going to look for the Russell Westbrook dong are you going to look for the llamas that that a cool bowl block is so much is going on. She gotta give credit where credit is due Bill Russell number six is retired and it means also much to every individual outside outside of the MBA or even the WNBA. Jeff is going from Georgia your CBSSports radio go ahead Jeff hello for current crawler hermeneutic require regarding Bill Russell number skirt been required of third.

William excuse what it's going to be retired. Effective now, no one will ever be able to pick it up outside of being grandfathered in America longer inspired Bill Russell right, no grandfathered their members to fill employee from opting will garner going through the drawer drawer Bill Russell Booker started allowing other people remember until I retire. Yes, I don't. It's not that big of a deal is very few in the visual system where the number and one of the individuals where the numbers one of the greatest basketball player's vaults on someone who also has never been afraid to speak up is Ron James he's wearing number 600 mi.² regard to your very total bird who Bill Russell was. The requirement that familiar. I will listen to Jeff.

He is is is a situation. What want to be in right now.

August right right you are self you know that right now he is this all basketball right now. Bill Russell unfortunately passed away two weeks ago and so to go ahead and stripped the number off of everyone.

I don't think it's a matter of disrespect the grandfathered and I think is absolutely appropriate. Lebron James is the biggest name in the biggest individual to wear that number I can go ahead and think back to the number 42. Jackie Robinson obviously wore number 42 and if I have to go back and think about Jackie, one of the last individuals to wear number 42 was Mariano Rivera of the New York Yankees, classy, and every single respect of what he did.

If you wanted to think about someone so we have a number 42 on the way out the door. It was Mariano Rivera. Nobody woke up and snatched it off his back.

After he retired when no one else is left. It was just him and so look at Lebron James in his career and hear a lot of individuals who do not like Lebron James for what he has talked about and his issues and matters of equality with his sons and his family and his business and thus far, no one can say that Lebron James is never stood up been an advocate for quality and I don't think it takes away from anything having to do with Bill Russell to allow people who currently have that number to finish out their careers with it.

Nothing, zip. Greg is calling for Michigan your CBSSports radio. Are you might call Mr. positive. How do I follow up of very erudite perspicacious analysis.

But here's the problem and I'm torn with this. It's the idea that we talk about superstars being babies yet.

We need superstars to become the champion that we want our teams to be we don't have a superstar, a bona fide star in Detroit whatsoever in any sport were never going to be a champion because we don't have those superstars and people surrounding them to make them who they are. So we need superstars but yet I'm torn that because they are like babies and like Chuck said, you know they wind they want all this money made on the step on the court the field but yet arguably we need them. Even though the crybabies I the contradiction. I just don't know what chair so let's be real here. How many of those those players.

How many of those individuals in the world of professional sports have that influence how many of individuals. How many of those individuals have to pull the slim far and few in between. Right right I mean that's that's that's my point. It's listen we can be upset at all. My God, this guy wants to go here and that guy wants to go there and this true, it's a complete pain in the ass.

How many athletes in the grand scheme of things have that chance or have that opportunity and I must tell you that element of sports of professional sports. It's about to be corrected is no owner wants to be bullied by someone in the case of Kevin Moran. I just gave you $10 million in your contract you're sitting down at a table with me telling me that you want out paying fair then he feared Joe sign and so it will be corrected at the same time Kevin Moran and every other individual in the world of professional sports still looking out for themselves because let's be real, who's looking after them. Nobody I want to use you. I want to play you to put you out on the court, on the put you out on the field.

I want to get the most that I can get out of you and then shut things up. I want to shut you up.

Clarence called Mississippi your CBSSports radio. There are, of thank you I will talk about my great room.

Yes, make you proud to be over black man waited very on Nehalem so probably hear mama what to do alone on your particular call. That's it you have anything else to say. Clarence Dan want to leave on a high note.

JR shut what the hell do you just say to me.

He just said is that I he said as a black man. I believe that I believe Clarence is is is black and said that he makes them incredibly proud to identify with that specific race and not and it was a very, very well said, and articulate and intersecting Clarence. We know can be synced about his work with you any any also led with you are still number one Dan's that was a that was an interesting call and I will I will gladly take on the night complainant, why not. It's the JR sport ratio here with you on CBSSports radio went on to take a break and we come back. It's not so much about the NBA or the NFL is rather interesting. We have another great right now is MI a is name is Tom Brady is the JR sport ratio was CBSSports ready I'll talk about on the other side you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio.

You were listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio where were going for. I am new to your show but I happily love it off the bed or talk radio show on the airport or barn on Coley now with 855-2124 CVS so we learned that the NBA across-the-board will be retiring the number six number six yes, the number six of Jackie or not Jackie that's 42, a major league baseball in the number six of Bill Russell Lazio this was still in the space in professional sports right now we have games going on.

Yeah it might be summer. It might be the dog days of summer. That's why I'm looking at Bill Russell and I'm like damn Jackie Robinson, 42, and six is not the same thing.

We have NFL teams that are getting ready to play. We have NFL teams out in the preseason mode right now NFL teams that are getting ready to start the regular season tonight. This is so crazy to me.

The Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans. We have the New England Patriots and the New York Giants and everybody wants to play, pattycake as who will play who will not play Lamar Jackson even played tonight for the Baltimore Ravens and then dammit.

If I think about the New England Patriots and the Giants we see Matt Jones this is still a team that's in and out. The Ambala model and say correct me if I'm wrong, but this is still a team that's post Tom Brady. That's PT may Matt Jones and amazing year last year, at least for a rookie, he was the best rookie quarterback in the entire NFL and now he has met Patricia on board, hoping to lead the offense on official title of offense of coordinator you have Joe Joshua came over from New York Giants and then you have the biggest man who runs the whole joint from top to bottom. Yet Bill Belichick insult tonight I'll tell you this, not that the school really matters due to a field goal, the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 23 to 21 hey Shep, I got a question for you, man.

You ready for this, I believe so you believe so Baileys that if Baileys that walked by you in the street. Would you know we as man know I could I contact I can tell you more about owes those arrestors last night. The wrestlers named yeah that bed that finished bronze in the Olympics and liked what the last Olympic so he's more, I will now chat or something. Coyote Kyle Drake good I guess I know more about him than I do.

The gentleman you mentioned. I want to say Kenyon Drake, but I know he's running bantering back yet.

He's more famous than this gentleman college rate.

It's a hard knock life if you want to make your bones if you want to make your money. This is the time you that you have to go out and do so and so, yes, sure, the New York Giants beat the patriots 23 to 21 Daniel Jones played Taira Taylor play yes Rod Taylor that I feel like the last time we really saw him in any action was before he got a needle to the ribs, allowing Justin Herbert to go out there and snatch up the job.

This is the funky part about preseason football it's not for you. It's not for me, is for the coaching staff to see who will round out the end of that 53 man roster who will actually be a part of the team moving forward. Who the hell cares who the third string quarterback is not me and everything is so secretive. The New England Patriots have been secretive for ever going to play who's going to start, who will be injured. Who's on the pupae not like we don't know.

It's not like Bill Belichick is all cuddly and warm and welcoming, not by any stretch of the imagination, and now we have three only three preseason games and that's fine because for four preseason games would help us watch and anything.

It's all background noise. It's crazy to think about this.

We are a bout a month away. Still, we are about four weeks away from legitimately watching NFL football not people competing for job not individuals fighting in and clawing and scratching. We are about a week away from watching the best of the best and it's tough getting through this.

Because everything is background noise. 855-2124 CVS. That's 855-2124 CVS John. He is calling from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Your CBSSports radio and they are what's going on with Erica. I talked about Brady yeah I was wondering why the big deal about how they're not easy to go and we start well there will that's that's been reported, and thank you John four: some Ann Arbor.

Anyone who is not familiar Tom Brady has been away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for several days now Tom Brady just had a birthday gob bless 45 years old girlfriend him we see and know that he's one of the greatest of all time.

That goes without saying, but it's been extended here in spring training Tom Brady has been able to take a couple of days off Tom Brady. As of right now is not just missing from the Buccaneers because of his birthday. He's missing due to quote on quote personal reasons.

Tom Brady is not with the Buccaneers. Their new head coach Tom Bowles had a chance, and an opportunity to talk about this and he did but sod Bowles doesn't seem all that concern.

He does not seem worry sod Bowles spoke to the media and he explained the absence of Tom Brady.

Take a listen, then excuse the day he will be taken anywhere they will be back sometime around at the Tennessee gun.

There was some personal thing is something we talked about before training camp started.

We a lot at this time because he want to get in and get chemistry with the guys and go for two weeks of training camp. Knowing he was going play the first two games.

I didn't want to take away rep complaining Kyle and as well as Griffith Park going into these next two games and is something you need to handle. We trust him. We talked about it.

It was like it was schedule way before training camp and he will not be here until after the tenancy I will. I guess that's what happens when you have one. I don't know seven championships when you're one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

What are we supposed to do a few supposed be up in arms about Tom Brady missing action, are we supposed to be up in arms about Tom Brady not participating with the Buccaneers what it what is he going to he is 45 years old and a number my business walking point personal reasons, not injury, personal reasons, so it is. I mean his arm is sore examining. He's tired does that mean he wants to allow other players to get the repetitions. All you that's fine. Obviously, when you're the best at what you do when you have more success than anybody at what you do you can afford to take some time off and so Tom Brady obviously this is pretty much the last stand here with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has a chance he has an opportunity and we parted the Miami Dolphins alike.

Please Tom Brady. Please come here to it's on the below I can live through his teeth. All he wants or will they tried to get Tom Brady in 2019. Listen man if they wanted Tom Brady in 2019. What makes you think that they don't want Tom Brady in 2022.

Someone who still is walking around and running around in the MVP conversation.

Why wouldn't they want him. If you're Buccaneers fan nine's wetness. This is still best case scenario, let's be real.

Do you want Tom Brady throwing the football in a preseason game for a week or two weeks or three weeks or do you want Tom Brady throwing the football. When the games actually matter game one to three. It's simple. What the hell you will wear him out for in the games don't matter is that simple. A freak athlete. I hell of a success and Tom Brady. He can take over as much time as he wants.

He's not damaging the team.

He's not damaging the bubble locker room and its chemistry from all indications, everyone who has ever opened up their mouth has talked about how great of a teammate Tom Brady is well at 45 years old, you carry away. You do what's best for the team in the couple weeks. Tom Brady will show up and he'll do his job and his job typically means moving you towards a Super Bowl everybody and equipped for that is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBSSports radio 855-2124 CVS.

That's 855-2124 CVS you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBSSports radio traffic every night you get a great topic that I was interested. JR Bartlett. Still another great topic.

As usual, sort of like John Dale Coley now with 855-2124 CVS that's right is the JR sport ratio here with you on CBSSports radio man. It's tough when you think about all these legends we talked about Bill Russell having his number six retired the first NBA player to have his number retired flat.

Across the board in the game and then on the NFL side as we continue to look like start winding up towards the actual games the New England Patriots they took on the New York Giants and it's not that it matters. They lost 23 to 21. You know wouldn't play almost every first stringer in a Mac Jones. He wasn't out there and so every body is anxiously waiting for Bill Belichick and his team to start making the move. Tom Brady is long gone.

At this point and this is the part that sucks even for the New England Patriots James White dual threat wide receiver running back, etc. he decided to call it quits. He spoke to the media less than 24 hours ago. He spoke to the media on Thursday and he talked about stepping away. I mean in you also talked about having the most important such now and it seems history James White.

My apologies to all of my friends here with me in Atlanta.

They don't want to hear that James White stepped away.

Tom Brady is now obviously in Tampa Bay, at least for this season.

You have Matt Jones who had an amazing year last year as a rookie quarterback. He performed better than anybody else did, rookie position on the field here play tonight. Bill Belichick is playing those games.

Bill Belichick is trying to hide Mac Jones. He doesn't want anybody to find any adjustments he doesn't want anybody to have any film he doesn't want him out there. Everything that he would need to see was doing practice, but Matt Jones, of course, Matt Jones. He wants to play right any competitor wants to play and not everybody is confident in Mac Jones.

This is what he had to say earlier this week about the naysayers will of the day you have your ups and downs with anything new. I've learned a lot of different systems and the guys have to know what football looks like we know wouldn't complain.

Looks like the schematics behind it is not just the results.

The process of how looks glum play hat pass protection. I don't have consisting of the day I was on the field. Do you trust your teammates.

Do you trust the coaches in our book Laurel emphasis on coaches. Do you trust the organization already told you that Mac Jones had the best year the best season that a rookie quarterback had in 20 2122 touchdowns 13 INC's almost 3800 yards passing. That's not too shabby for a guy who played never really in the NFL. The patriots went 10 and seven and so are they going to do better this upcoming season all man I'll know about that. I would venture to say no. It's a quarterback league. You will only go as far as your quarterback takes you Mac Jones is still learning and good for him. He doesn't have the same situation as Justin Fields in Chicago where just like who quarries guys and know by the way you Matt Jones as a the greatest coach of all time, and Bill Bala check and there will be people who will dispute that, especially knowing that he coach Tom Brady. Well Tom Brady did not have to build the system. Tom Brady did not have to go out there and lay the foundation.

Tom Brady did not have to go out and build the culture of the New England Patriots Tom Brady just showed up and he went to work good for him. Scalded team for reason Bella check and Brady and now Bella check will try to do the same with Jones. Sounds real dirty to say 855-2124 CVS Daniel is calling from Louisiana your CBSSports radio know what they are, know how to speak about psychology lot, and call about a week but you have a young man, every young man into the shadow of the greatest that ever played the game is wearing the same colors same code.

I think you might be under more pressure than any of us can possibly it he's even mildly successful, we should give him kudos because of what Tom Brady is gone and I grew up in living new kind of porn here just thinking about what this young man must be under the pressure. Yeah, I met like it like being a good. The next thing your journey.

You know me I say while some don't stop believing in you guys probably really really like Ada Crossroads. As far as like his ability and then and then the pressure to duplicate, so it's got to be a lot of the guy so if he's even slightly prophetically taken to the layout he wins a couple games get the guy from credit. Lisa deserves a contract extension at that point, no, not at all okay what I'm what I'm saying is he's got a coach who coached the greatest of all time.

You know way that all that time flowed out. Everything happened in succession, and yet it was the now. I watch that game and Bledsoe got hurt, but I don't know the names of every player and heavy pain, but I think I can talk about the mentality of a young man and you please let JR 2223 let no younger. Please Mac Giles and correct yet correct. Yes, any initial weight must be very heavy to carry so I think we need to look at giving a chance and also know Bella check argument greatest coaching from Barty well medicine talent lot talent Sally Wenzel and thank you so much Daniel for closing Louisiana.

I appreciate you. You can have a name you can have a national champion. You can ask someone who goes out and wins it all when you get to the NFL.

Everything is basically it's moot as 00 what are you going to take the college. What are you going to translate over into the pros and how was I going to translate over into success.

It's not easy, not by any stretch of the imagination and and this is the awful thing for Bill Bala. Check he's going to get what in the court of public opinion. People can take a look at Tom Brady and what folks will remember is that he left and at Tom Brady won a championship with the Buccaneers that Tom Brady left the New England Patriots and he had success with these Buccaneers and so here we happen moving into the last year of his contract. Tom Brady could disappear tomorrow. He could disappear at the end of the season. He could disappear midseason. We know that angle happen we gotta give him a break. Let's put it this way.
