If you doing that.

We got a lot to discuss a lot to talk about tonight. It's a jam packed Monday. First of all, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys. There they playing something that looks like football here on Monday night. Dallas Cowboys currently lead 623 yet not a lot offense here, not a lot. I guess between Cooper Russian Daniel Jones and online Daniel Jones. By the way he's been sacked five or six times a ready tonight so not looking all that great for the New York Giants and their their offense to try to put some points on the board. Obviously I will talk about this Dallas is trying to move its record to two and one and the New York Giants of trauma moved to three and though if you can actually believe that some will keep you up-to-date on this again as it progresses. Obviously, this is the conclusion of week three of the NFL season. We had quite a few surprises. Last night or yesterday all day Sunday. First of all, the Buffalo Bills taken on the Miami Dolphins that was a good game.

Bills to canal Miami came out on top the box.

Is it really a surprise that the box loss to the Packers. I mean Tom Brady is trying to figure out who to hell with the ball to the raters don't have a victory on the season. The Jaguars beat the Chargers.

Russell Wilson still wasn't finding all that success throwing the football around for Denver.

Now the research Amos Winston and also outside of the football space media day today was like the first real kick offer media day in the NBA.

We had quite a few teams. I got things going over the weekend and in on Friday because there traveling overseas the Hawks the war years, but today we heard from people like Kevin Durant.

We heard from the Boston Celtics. We heard from Psion Williamson looks like a completely different human being. So we got a lot to get into a lot to discuss his idea. You want to talk to me. We have a number 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS. You can also contact me on one social media everywhere that is at JR sport brief at JR sport reform all social media before we dive into the football before we get into some of the comments on basketball shop. How was your weekend man, did you watch any of these games I we absolutely JR and and just like you said, man, the Miami Dolphins, you talk about surprising teams. I know you can hit on this.

I never would've anticipated you talk about all that talent in the AFC East and it's the Miami Dolphins of the team better three and oh and look like to just scratching the surface. Yeah, I mean wealthy you think about how the Miami Dolphins were able to end last season are certainly on the up and up with Brian Florez, the defense really started to take control in here now with new head coach Mike McDaniel. They been able to move the offense in a different direction, especially with to its envelope or having the threat of a Tyree Colbert was well and so were going to get into all the gains but let's go ahead and start there because that was the game that I watched a fake God, thank you NFL Sunday ticket. They didn't you know crap the bed. This time I was able to actually watch the football game and the bills they lost to Miami. They lost to those dolphins 21 to 19. Josh Allen statistically had another amazing game 400 yards to touchdowns, but this was a close one. It came down to the wire. The Buffalo Bills are trying to stay in the game. The trauma come back in and went on top. Josh Allen basically takes the bills on an eight minute drive.

They can't convert 1/4 down and this just like okay is game is over.

Miami is going to get the ball back to be able to get a couple of first downs and run out the clock and that will be all she wrote.

It's not what happened.

Miami couldn't do a damn thing Miami attempted to punt the football in their own end zone, and it was blocked by their own offense of lineman into his ass.

Yes, this was the water they call it shop the butt part is that what they call that you would be correct in Mark Sanchez is now off the hook in Mark Sanchez even had some some fun about it, he said you're loud he is still a month under the Miami Dolphins were trying to just advance the football just to run clock their puncture ended up putting the ball in someone his own teammates asked were asses. Is it acyl asses is a plural shop I believe will go with the singular term ass he punted the ball into his own guise as it was a safety Buffalo gets the ball back to 21 to 19.

At this point Buffalo has the rock they drive in a ball down the field that Shawna get the ball into field goal range and work when the final passes goes out to Isaiah McKenzie is about 3 yards away from the ideal spot and instead of just trying to run out of bounds ease ease, trying to get extra yardage for the kicker and they couldn't get back to the line of scrimmage.

That's all she wrote the Miami Dolphins when at the end of the game because Buffalo couldn't consult the ball down for field goal couldn't spike it took to kick it through the uprights, the bills, their record is now two and one Miami they are at the top of the AFC East. They have a record of three and all Miami has been Roland. So the Buffalo Bills we got quite a few visuals out of that game yesterday offense of coordinator Ken Dorsey absolutely losing his mind in the coaches booth this one viral lots weeded out. He's ripping up his papers. He's thrown the papers away is just he's upset that they didn't get that final plan.

So head coach Sean McDermott. He talked after the game and is what he said that they learned what he learned from the team about their effort after the yeah is a heck of an effort never want to come up short. No no no ribbons her for second place and they know it they know it, so can we go back we learn from this and I think we didn't I think will learn things that were really good about today one of those is the guts and heart and intangibles of a football team and I think will learn some things that were very today and nobody is going to go 17 and all. Come on now you gotta lose some time coming.

People called me over the past several weeks and just crawled about Buffalo I did to my change of mom mom because they lost of the dolphins.

This is the same Buffalo Bills team that beat Los Angeles to start the year off smoke them. 31 at 10 this is the same team that beat up on the Titans 41 to 7 and you got the Buffalo Bills. I mean, dammit. The defensive backs of broken air hurt and they played another good seaman Miami in this town they came out on the short end of the static so there's no reason to be overly alarmed about Buffalo losing again is gonna happen then it lose to know Paul mass squad. They lost to a legitimate seem here even though it took a little bit of a no uncommon instances like a but punt Tyree kill wide receiver now for the Miami Dolphins. This is his thoughts on what took place in knowing that because of up but punt. We did give Buffalo another chance to potentially score this would tie Rico how to say everything about pump for man, but I'm sure you know you know Trent is very very smart and you know I so for him to come to the sideline. Note that ownership in all that is exactly as you go to the family knowing they found his onus slicer catch the ball, which butt cheek strong but she's okay.

Not something I look forward to seeing at an NFL game but okay if outside Rico says we can look out for them, then certainly we will what about coach Mike McDaniel. This guy is just rotten.

He is started off this NFL career as a coach with a three and oh record Miami.

They beat the Pats Miami. It's a whole lot of touchdowns from tour in a come back.

They beat the ravens.

They just beat the bills and they almost lost because of up but punt safety. This is what Mike McDaniel had to say after that occurrence.

I was very encouraged and you had to go the length of the field and I and I knew our defense was ready that they've been working for this for a long time.

They enjoy those opportunities so I thought there and bail us out. Make sure they sure did so is pretty exciting and a clock due to but that's part of the gay.

Gotta play the clock at the end of the game two-minute warning. Can you get down the field. Can you get your team set up for field goal range. All of that is probably good that Buffalo lost. Everybody needs a good kick in the ass to wake up everybody needs a little bit of an adjustment. Everybody needs a little bit of a wake-up call and so I'm not overly concerned with the Buffalo Bills losing again Buffalo will be fine. The next matchup should be fun, will take on the ravens Lamar Jackson to teams led by two quarterbacks who are ultimately just trying to quote on quote get over the hump like AFC championship game. Maybe a Super Bowl. I'd love to see it. Congratulations to Miami and kicking ass in the bills.

They will be fine. That game took place earlier on in the game that took place in the afternoon also involve the two teams are at least two quarterbacks who know what a championship looks like. That's Tom Brady. He knows what all the championships look like this Arun Rogers with the Packers, the box they lost down in Tampa 14 to 12 let me save you some time here.

The Buccaneers couldn't they couldn't put a score to save their damn lives.

It wasn't so late in the game that Tom Brady was able to go out there and throw it CD is reminiscent of taken on the saints. It's taking forever Arun Rogers.

He threw two touchdowns and I guess this is not really a surprise when when Tom Brady's major weapons are gone.

Mike Evans suspended because he wanted to fight with Marshall Lattimore Godwin coming back from a blown out me now unfortunately dealing with a hamstring's a bad situation for Tom Brady and oh yeah Julio Jones Julio Jones just needs he needs her legs.

It's unfortunate. There is no time machine to throws back into Julio Jones in his prime doesn't matter Tom Brady wanted them or not. This what you have it. Buccaneers added Colby easily to look for a little bit of offense of help as they move on into the future and so the box alludes to the Packers. Meanwhile, the Packers lease Arun Rogers. He feels good about himself.

What is new young weapons can go out there and say that they're learning that they're progressing Tom Brady. Despite all the missing pieces he still has high expectations he sets our group. The offense is all we need to do better, to a place where your ground sticks and knock on third down and penalties turnover's missed opportunities no defense by great replica of an offense or do a better job we haven't scored many points all season so three games regular better listen Tampa Bay's defense has been holding them down.

Both Green Bay and Tampa now sit at Sue and one sample obviously had a chance to go three and all, but they they go ahead and and drop this game in Tom Brady's also smart. He understands that it is just a game. Singular one. Take a listen return one block from the left.

Keep working on it and doesn't get easier next week going up against chiefs, but don't feel sorry for us. Nor should we go back to work. Damn writes on writing in a body feel sorry for you time when we feel sorry for you for mean besides personal stuff we have no idea what's going on there. And speaking of the box. It's it's not gonna be easy preparing for the next game against the Chiefs because there's a hurricane hurricane EN is getting ready to swing up towards Tampa so the Buccaneers they are moving down to Miami to prepare for the next game is not going be easy and so whether it's on field injuries. Whether it's personal life or weather happens to be nature or act of God things and I go to get any easier here for Tampa Bay and so you can look at Sunday you can look at the entire slate of games and were going to talk about a lot of the bills, lost Super Bowl contenders. The box lost.

Sure you got Tom Brady. I'll call you a Super Bowl contender Tom Brady said it perfectly. It's just one game.

Not wrong with taking it out just so you could you'll learn from your mistakes and be better in the long run I think that's where the bills are in the box.

I think it's just a matter of health's the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio bills are not done. The boxer not done but the NFL has traditionally done something once a year. I'm happy to tell you that the Pro bowl is done will go to talk about that on the other side is the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio willing to talk.

The Pro bowl will get into the Raiders the jags the Dolphins will even tell you who just scored a touchdown here on Monday night football's the JR sport preshow on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio show your wants to hear from you call him know at 855-2124 CBS. That's 855-212-4227 the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio you know what happens on Monday in September, NFL football yeah Monday Night Football the New York Giants are hosting the Dallas Cowboys right now and it wasn't too long ago that I told you that the Giants and Cowboys were attempting to play NFL caliber football and it looks like we had a score in a we might actually have another one right before we went to break the New York Giants were able to they were able to put some points on the board say Quan Barclay 836 yard rushing touchdown. The New York Giants go ahead and currently take the lead have the lead 13 to 6 but at this current minute as I talk to you as I watch the game.

The Dallas Cowboys have entered into the red zone, the Dallas Cowboys, trying to put some points on the board themselves less than two minutes here left in the third quarter and they are our first and goal neutron the gonna punch the ball and so obviously will keep you up-to-date with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys as they continue on with their game, but to open up the show.

I wanted to step into the world of reality for people not to overreact to both the Buffalo Bills losing and also the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They both lost the bills, lost to Miami. The box lost of the Packers you can have people who jump off the ship, which I think is a terrible idea and a terrible thing, because it's one game and it's not over and were going to get into some of these other football games and were going to talk about NBA media day, but I do want to tell you about something that is done that is cooked that is complete, the NFL Pro bowl was some of the first news to drop earlier today, the Pro bowl is gone. The All-Star game for the NFL, which is not an All-Star game which is basically a bunch of millionaires in some of the greatest players paint playing patty cake. This is not the Pro bowl is going to be replaced with weeklong skills competitions and a flag football game. Peyton Manning is going to help you lead the way his production company. Omar productions will participate in this. The Pro bowl is cooked. I got started in 1951 and I don't know if I want to call this an advancement.

It's now the Pro bowl games. It's going to Take Pl. in Las Vegas. The flag football game will take place at allegiant Stadium. Peyton Manning will help things out and I got it so you this is basically what we've gotten ready and nobody out there playing buddies trying to get hurt plan at full tilt is no way in hell that you can have an All-Star game for major league are not major league baseball. That's a whole separate situation with can have a an All-Star game for the NFL in the middle of the year. So by the time you get all the stars together, the ones that actually participate and the ones who are going to the Super Bowl, which is the majority of their own vacation are ready. Who the hell is trying to get hurt after the season, heading into the off year as I like to make an additional money or getting additional funds is going to break the bank. So it's taken a long time. The Pro bowl is done should've been done years ago and now they want to play games will now will will see how that goes when you don't have guys who want to raise sin and go full tilt in a race or give a damn about a passing competition like there is zero way to make the Pro bowl interesting and going to the Pro bowl games is not going too much of a difference. I'm pretty sure I'm going to see and talk about it because dammit I got no choice I have to. I got no interest in all Pro bowl games mainly seen some of these mini games are tiring kill race Michael Parsons and was supposed to believe that Michael Parsons would would beat Tyree can a 40 yard dash like coming out with something is better than nothing in the Pro bowl games is better than us, masquerading, the Pro bowl out there like it's a legitimate football contest. We know it's crap.

Not worth anybody's time. Shep Pro bowl is none.

Do you even care. Did you watch, no, no, I mean we think of the All-Star game in baseball. We think of Barry bonds you alluded to many times on your show are getting robbed by Torri Hunter. We think of Ray Fosse.

You know, getting knocked over, barreled over by Pete Rose and we think the NBA All-Star game you think. Hope you Michael 98 MSG care for the life of me, and football has been America's game for God knows how long.

I'd say 4050 years. At this point I can't tell you one single hot okay. One exception that Sean Taylor hit that's it. All yeah that's it.

That's the only thing I can think of in a global and it when a 60 year gave history of the full blessing and engineer. This is all about.

This is all about money. It doesn't it doesn't sell. It doesn't advertise properly and the realities we are now going to what looks like to be more than 17 game sooner than later. This is for the safety of the players the right decision without question, all absolutely and in you just set it there is there's no standout moment in the Pro bowl this game ends up being a blowout almost every year. The AFC smacks of the NFC bodice score around only store an arbitrary number out there 40 to 35 or 40 does not own or don't matter game socks boring.

These games used to be like a free trip for the players to go to Honolulu with their families, and then they stop plan him NFL is like a month not send in 100+ players out to Honolulu to take their families on vacation they so they cut back, went to Orlando and then he went to Vegas and they said these guys still aren't plan and so we have slowly seen the that that this Pro boat is gold just down the toilet as it should. It's a crap game and a toilet is where it belongs, nor flag football and Pro bowl games go make too much of a difference that quick ideas that would run by as the Pro bowl. I did it say it's a it's a celebration of football idea and it scratches niche that a lot of people have had for a long time catching scratching ditches is pretty good. Go ahead take the top team in college football.

Ohno have been on your loan going? Ego, have them play and I understand you know you have bowl games are coming to factor in the and in the college national championship game. I get all that, but figure out a way to get the team to win the national championship, the Alabama's of the world and have them play against what looks like in Osaka to Jacksonville as you think I played them against the worst team in the NFL. I think a lot of people would be fascinated by that. So you want to insult the worst NFL team in the league and you want the worst NFL team in the league to obliterate young men I what I was gonna call them children that that be a little too much you you want to see blood know why I want to see and in an age-old debate be settled once and for all and we talk about all the time of the NBA's a little different because you know the NBA. You see the best guys all the time in college. The Adam worsens of the world you prefer that they don't last, sometimes more than two, three years, you know, but in the NFL. It's pretty much a lock when you're picked in the top five taught tenure and non-quarterback player can have a very prolific NFL career, I'd love to see that once and for all.

I think a lot of people tune into that chair more sales skills competition and talk about a lot of people would but it's just like let's get grown ass men to play adolescent since Washington be destroyed. I don't know about the destroyed part all killing dad so it we would settle that once and for all I know where you stand on that for you your your your certain that if you meeting any job is if we took. So let's let's go by this race. If we took just just fall out six and purposes if we took the Jacksonville Jaguars just like today, right now, right and actually want a football game yesterday. Congratulations. Amen. They beat the charge in convincing fashion mind nonetheless mean Justin Herbert was runaround would like half along and ripped but anyway we'll talk about that if we took the Jacksonville Jaguars today and said go ahead and play.

I don't know play the Bulldogs Jacksonville Jaguars would work that ass man were five guys on defense alone. That contract in the round on that defensive unit of Kirby smarts yet, but this still over not talking about five guys write ups to the burger people you have been Berger's shop turn over there and I'll complement too much belly fat that I've had in the past is delicious. In five shutouts to five Hundred year yeah sorry about that. It's not just the five guys from Georgia Kobe Dean's etc. no talk about the whole roster. The defensive line. The offense of line. These poor guys would be annihilated, annihilated is nothing there's nothing doing this little different and people joke about it. What's a bad NBA team you you want to take the magic right I would say rockets are even worse right. How all, let's take the rocket and let let them play against. I don't know for limited seen any college team. I made it on you and see you in season pretty date they had a hell of a run.

Last year it was only going to get Ryan to go to get waxed. These college kids can play with pros if they're not ready, not even physically slight grown man strength like it that exists yeah but JR I mean you know this game so well. I mean, you do have a little off center was an exception. Obviously, and then later on to Barney.

Kareem was the best player from day one when he entered the NBA and you can say for Zion Williamson.

Now he clearly was never as good as Lebron's rookie year in and in those guys of that nature, but Zion Williamson from day one was a top 15 NBA player right and imagine if he came in like with bullying as his head coach my first year the struggles of individual talents talk about the team. You still gotta go out there and have for the guys which you in the case of basketball became a football, you have 10 other guys out there with you on offense and defense in its excellence on I'm not disagreeing with you in the absolutely amazing to see NFL players take on model Noah college stars or college championship team. They would still get obliterated. It's just as grown men distance the laws of nature maybe one game made one by mistake, but no go with the pros on that when they people up and out as the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio we just talked about the Jaguars yet they one a football game. They beat up on the Chargers than I want to tell you about another team dammit they just been naming the BMP all year.

The raters don't have a victory going to talk about it on the other side is the JR sport preshow on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio will rather happy birthday Pablo a man you JR you might like there you go Dialogue about.

I love you to not net the fungal missing.

We know he did it okay.

Only now, with 855-2124 CBS the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio and my birthday is a nowhere damn near close were in the past. So thank you Kevin know anyway.

Listen Monday night football going on right now, the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys they are tied at 13 all in the Meadowlands of MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants and the unit will keep you up-to-date as that game progresses. We've already updated you on on quite a few things tonight the bills in the box losing. Fortunately we heard about Miles Garrett in his car accident, leaving the Browns practice facility is Porsche overturned no broken bones, so he appears to be okay wish of nothing but the best in his recovery. We talked about the Pro bowl being done in one of the things that we didn't discuss Chargers that actually play football and they lost to the jags 38 and in this is, I can describe things keening down the store hurt.

Then the guy was hurt the most. His name is Justin Herbert.

We know that this man has like fractured cartilage. He was asked after the game. How did you prepare and said I'm not going to talk to you about. You know what I do to my body, which lead you to believe that you have this man got he got one of those shots to go out there and play, and it's well within his right to do so, but there is no way in hell that the Jacksonville Jaguars are supposed to go into anybody's building and bead him and that's what the jags did beating the Chargers 38 to 10 snapping in 18 game losing streak on the role Trevor Lawrence. I guess he likes football again Jacksonville. He scored three touchdowns. James Robinson got the job done on the ground. He had 100 yards rushing and you just gotta go wow these these charges here are in for another season like this that that they wanted to on the year. It's disastrous what they got going on, and so there's always controversy when it comes to the charges in the end of the game, but this time it's not positive reasons.

Justin Herbert, the man with the the fractured rib cartilage.

This game was a blowout and he was still out there late. They were losing about 28 points is the end of the game and Justin Herbert was still there. He didn't want to quit on his teammates, but head coach Brandon Staley of the Chargers. This was this explanation as to why Justin was still out there? We want together with his teammates and he felt good. Many wanted to finish the game you want to give our group home some energy and you know we were protecting there again with no really some protection as best we could, but he knows more about you and want to finish with his guys. Not a good enough reason coach your coach is a player. What the hell is it will what Justin Herbert does he have a magical play where he's going to score. I don't know what 28 points at one time not work that way. This man had to take a shot. I'm assuming to go play the game. The last time we saw Justin Herbert last week against Kansas City. The man was just writhing in pain, walking off the field and paying how you keep them in again for your comments on the set I get done.

No more for you tonight. What a waste.

855-2124 CBS Paul is calling from Rhode Island you're on the JR sport preshow Mike Walker managing I don't know what the hell is going on well but I want to keep going this way, nobody is going to have 12 wins is not just no way that's going to happen. Okay, there's no way I mean you're talking about. Teams are on the 500 in the past and now all brilliantly married by miracle are just, you know, like tonight.

Okay, it just it just can't happen. These guys make a $50 million a year and it losing games away at home and in the universe can happen. You know, polishing… Fan base, wallet it all is, like all okay just agape does not again. What is not. Again, because you are predicting what's going to happen and late late new season and is going to be like a wildcard game the raters the lions New Orleans like what the hell is going on man is saying. So are yeah are are you upset that the postseason is going to be watered down.

Are you concerned with the win loss record in the regular season of scenes which one is it I am concerned in the win loss season. In the beginning I know standing in the beginning. It takes a little while but the way it's activating it's impossible to predict as your team has high market team to this cannot go on. It's impossible yeah well it's it's it's going to go on Paul and thank you for calling from Rhode Island a little confused by that call you go have some winners and you will have losers. I mean dammit if I got a thing about the NFL standings from last year you did to be hung up on one who is or is not getting 12 wins Dallas Cowboys had 12 wins last year. The Rams had 12 wins, we saw them go to a championship and when it the Packers had 13, the Buccaneers had 13, the chief said 12 and we know that they started off like crap. The Titans have they taken a step back. If you asked me the Tennessee Titans last year, 12 victories, and so is is 12. The magic number to get into the postseason.

Typically it is but I'm knocking to be overly concerned. Like what we we doing here.

We didn't yes just complete week number three is a no no major rush. He had just draw interest raw ridiculous conclusions about what's going to be all seasoned nobodies going to win 12 games were going to get crap in the playoffs. While we might, but can we get there first.

Even the thought that nobodies going to win 12 games is just this, in and of itself can can we play games know Herm Edwards is no longer Sun Devils goals, but he said that the best you play to win the game you play to lose and so when you have 17 opportunities to go out there and actually walk away with a W in the good teams. They, they going to pick up 10+ now we got 17 think about 12.

This is ridiculous and sure the pool has been diluted when it comes to postseason play. Sounds like every sport.

Let's try to keep the fans attention for the regular-season and then we get to the postseason.

We we have more games in inventory to sell all our many many advertising partners. NFL is light.

Yeah let's just make more money, more playoffs sure more regular-season action sure more money for everybody involved. Even the losers is the JR sport preshow here with you on CBS sports radio, no loses on the side.

Let's not truth that's not true at all. Limits organ of the set of loses. When we come back the raters going to get into NBA media today.

We got a lot to do the JR sport preshow here. CBS sports radio looking for stories about the black community, and you don't want to wait until out.

I don't know February, then check out Leon Black history month. The podcast that tells inclusive stories and year-round like how today's labor movement is connected to the civil rights movement and why black neighborhoods keep getting hit with water crisis after water crisis will still be in charge for water that we can use listen and subscribe to be on Black history month on the Odyssey at or whatever you get your podcast problem
