JR SportBrief Hour 4

You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you're listening to the JR support on CBS radio, this is the JR sport ratio on CBS sports radio.

You heard the fancy voice man say that you heard me say you live on the rocky mortgage Studios what you're looking to purchase a new home or refinance yours. Rocket mortgage can help you get there for home loan solutions that fit your life rocket can congratulations adopted as one a baseball game, the Dodgers, they beat the Padres. The final score 523. The Dodgers now Lee the National League division series matchup against these Padres wanted nothing good for them.

Dodgers trying to go out there and just you know what another World Series like it's nothing. Maybe there run into those I don't know defending champion Atlanta Braves the Braves lost today. They tried to come back they do 76 thinking about some of the winners New York Yankees. They were able to go out there and take game one in the Bronx against the Cleveland guardians and also the Astros able to bounce back a walk off you think Alvarez Astros beat the Mariners 827 so the divisional round is underway in major league baseball, the NHL season is underway. They started up your ship. Mention this is a beautiful time in the sports world. The NFL is in full swing. College football is in full swing. What more do you want if you want an excuse.

This is a poor example that I support I can't. I can't say that about Tom Brady.

I was going to say if you want to just be stuck in front of the television and run away from your family and turn on the TV swap sports all day all night but anyway we talked about Tom Brady earlier on in the shop because Tom Brady says that the quality of the NFL.

The play is declined in its turning into more of a skills competition, which I agree Tom Brady also says that that's a misnomer that you know he's the poster boy for roughing roughing of the pastor because that typically happens for quarterbacks with get outside the pocket, something that he doesn't do. We also understand that the calls always roughing the passer penalties their bogus their garbage.

The NFL needs to do a better job. We talked about Devante Adams earlier on in the shop. He shoved the cameraman down.

I said that I believe that Devante Adams should be suspended. We definitely know that he will be fine. I think it sets a terrible terrible terrible precedent.

It is just bad optics to see a play or just go out there in Shaba. Cameraman.

There were a lot of conversations a lot of thoughts I had people calling me saying it was the camera guys fault the photographers fault and that's just mind-boggling to me. Oh, he asked to be shoved to the ground, the other end of things. The cameraman decided to file a police report today said that he was assaulted. He had to go to the hospital and hey could be a cash grab the guy could legitimately be hurt.

We have no idea at the end of the day. It is very very simple, regardless of whether you think the font they should be fine suspended. He did apologize. God bless him twice what he did was wrong. This guy who got shoved to the ground. He did not do a damn thing wrong at all. Simple as that. Okay. As we continued on. We talked about Ron Rivera the Ron Rivera who says the reason lies team sucks is Carson Wentz and then he says 01 while I misspoke oh yeah, we know there are other reasons that the Washington commander suck.

By the way, the guy who filed a police report in Santa Clara.

It will get knocked out by Bobby Wagoner that God claims that he got a concussion. It's just a bad day for people on the field. People who don't play football unless you're the Raiders it's just a bad day for you every day and then right before we went to break.

I gave you an update on Tremont Green minutes ago minutes ago Steve Kerr spoke to the media and we know Tremont Green. He apologized for punching Jordan Poole Tremont Green talked about the implications that this would potentially have one Jordan Poole and his family.

The team, etc. in over the weekend Tremont Green said he be going away for a few days while Sean just reported told us that Tremont will return to team activities on Thursday. Steve Kerr is what he said listen, he's going to come back to practice on Thursday and find not be suspended, expected to play Friday or last preseason game.

We spent the last week. Deep discussions with all key figures in the organization. Jordan and Raymonde, of course, staff all over players so I can tell you a lot of conversations individual ongoing discussions. Players only discussions everything they got all the different combinations are possible as exhaustive process. We feel like we have a great feel for team continuity on this team's players string feel like this is just processing everything for never easy matter what decision you make in a situation like this.

This is the biggest crisis that we never had since I think culture really serious stuff were not perfect. Our team is perfect and I would have deftly made sure to lean on the experience together last night years and trusted.

This is best decision for Revlon work to do all of us players, coaches Bob in the front office committed to doing that work together and this really successful season. Yeah I said that last week they were not going to try and rock the boat a professional sports franchise in a general sense. I don't care what the team is aware yeah what you do you just want to minimize distractions. This was a big enough and large enough issue. If the Golden State Warriors was suspended Tremont Green and they could've been justified, they would've been justified if they did so I won the blank tub in my okay suspended for game were two games man, yet they would've dragged out, they would have made it worse. From an organizational standpoint, you just her with Steve Kerr set they had to weigh every element of this decision.

If we suspend him.

Well now everybody has to answer questions about it.

This thing gets dragged out the decision that they came down to was this is not going to hurt the team is going to hurt Jordan Poole's feelings.

Maybe, maybe not. This is going to affect the team not enough for us to give a dam right now they want move forward. That's what they're doing and by the way, when the Golden State Warriors go out and just when 10 consecutive games to start the season.

No one will care and they'll be another controversy for people worry about maybe Ben Simmons will quit on the Brooklyn Nets who knows, maybe James Harden will find Twinkies again who knows will be another story. This one will go away and the warriors did not shock. They did something that would minimize what is already been a distraction and a role it simple as that. Also speaking rolling on Tremont Green's mom. Prior to this message that we just heard from Steve Kerr. She put in her two cents yesterday. She tweeted in regards to this. That wasn't a sucker punch and Raymonde didn't delete or excuse me drain didn't aggressively go to pool his hands were down man-to-man you go over to talk to ask what's up what you say he got shoved and reacted. End of story. Okay, not a lot of clarity. I think I get what she's saying but I don't agree Tremont didn't aggressively go to pool that. Did I miss something he got in the guy's face. He walked over from one side of the court and went on that old hoop and got in his face that looks aggressive to me what Tremont is she referring to and Raymonde's hands being down what until he pushed me was all over. The guy will open a space that's aggressive they just went over to talk, not in the space.

And yet, these things happen should the bitterness facing what I got shoved shop. I guess tonight is just let's all make excuses. Right. Is this what this boils down to is just a bad look for. Honestly to bad luck for the Green family must be real about that like no disrespect to the mother.

I know she's in a wonderful job in raising Tremont who has so many wonderful attributes about him, but in this specific regard the apple does not fall far from the tree. My God, aggressiveness, right will sheet by the way she deleted her Twitter account she jacked and she told everybody sheet. This is this is the irony of of social media and this is why I find it hilarious. This is why I do things that I respond to, and a lot of things that I just had to respond absolutely comical. She says enjoy Twitter I'll just leave the chirping for the birds and let them suite I'm going to deactivate this app so no one can say what I think or believe. I hope it will work itself out for the betterment of the Dobbs have a great day.

Twitter nation retweet this. I hope everything can be fixed for the warriors. Everyone has an opinion. Teammates have disagreements and some time's fights.

If we let it go. It can mend. Signing off family business. Just me personally.

I have used social media to business purposes for money. I've used social media to build up JR sport brief and boom here I am on a radio TV. That's what I have done it for. I'm not going to catch me out here arguing anybody I could care less. It's it's hilarious to me when people go online and just just spew and go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth in every now and then I'll go back and forth I'm saying to myself on a hilarious because for the life of me I can't understand why everybody wants to have an opinion if you not get paid for it.

That's just me. I get paid to voice my opinion. Maybe my perspective is different, but in the case of Tremont's mom.

I went what are you doing like what a wise everybody have an excuse for bad behavior. We know teammates fight.

We know athletes fight brothers fight teammates fight families fight friends fight. People disagree that that's just what it is and Raymonde was in the wrong. In this instance, yet we know teammates by but he was in the wrong. You know for his mom to come on board and just want to say pylon but to now defend her son. Of course it's a mom's job.

Mom's going to defend it to kids is just what it is but Tremont is a grown man and now she deleted her account or deactivated it as she should. That was just terrible point to make. Leave well enough alone.

Why you come in one afternoon.

Tremont sat in front of the media shop we have that right which Raymonde sent from the media himself and talked about the families and stuff I would use her to Tremont sat in front of the media and out of his own mouth. He said oh my God I can imagine it's embarrassing to the pool and his family. Just listen to what Tremont said over the weekend so as a set. After that, this is mom why you even said anything and show everybody is entitled to have an opinion and this is what people do they share more Twitter and Facebook. There's somebody right now listening to me arguing with somebody on Facebook. They did this somebody listening to me right now at work. They just scrolling through Twitter and Instagram arguing with a stranger for what it's like there's a need wit was so program to have to share their opinion and at this point which Raymonde situation was none so I don't know if his mom deleted or deactivated her account on her own, or whether she was told pages mom just pipe down even Tremont green when asked a man wanted to just make a podcast about this like you always do.

I want to be held accountable wanted to be able to have this conversation with you in public and not in front of a computer screen while I record my podcast I got a given credit for that but I mean damn tonight is just somebody else's fault night. We talked about the violence atoms had people telling me all those it was the photographers for what how we talked about Ron Rivera. He screwed up in the MEC said sorry for you.

By the way, if you can hear Brett Favre. He finally put out a statement.

Brett Favre said all you guys out in I didn't know where the money came from and I'm just being smeared right now okay Brett Favre. It took you a while to come out and say something and Raymonde Greene's mom is his lie was not my son's fall. What is this just everybody passes the buck. Nobody takes responsibility for bad behavior that leads the violence atoms we got people calling and telling me it was the photographers full wanted the want to apologize twice. Why did he come across sincere in his apology, why haven't you ever heard a bad word but it's the photographers will want to go to be punished because as the photographers will everybody has an excuse and Raymonde will be back. The warriors will be fine until Tremont does something else to take somebody off and despite all of that, who knows their win a bunch of games or maybe you'll cost them a game in finals again 855-2124 CBS it's 8552124C.

B. S. Lewis call from Rochester on JR sport Risha was a blue bear. I think it downgraded a bit in January he made a last guide to welcome at claim saying that Donatello become now some sort of skills competition totally critical. He's done nothing but pander for wrapping the pastor penalties out throughout his career and he received a multitude of them including the last one the other day because it resembled unfortunately in the since he drove to but you got on his broadcast career that followed it is drivel. Well, I'm not going to disagree with what Tom Brady said because it was accurate. I don't know if I want to quote "shoot the messenger because it is his job and this is any quarterbacks job then going to lobby for calls that's that's that that's accurate. Why should it be any different because Tom Brady was telling the truth is a difference between what takes place in between the lines.

During the course of the game and I would say there's no one more qualified to talk about the changes in the game then the league's longest tenured player while I disagree. I think in general are okay that's you're entitled to your opinion. Thank you for call from Rochester. It went when your plan again to try to win it. That's it. I'm not going excuse Tom Brady was kicking a great job the other day that ain't fair. That's not cool.

Why wouldn't a quarterback say hate his guy hit me, but don't flag you can't do that in knowing a couple days later Tom Brady's actually been saying this for as long as I can remember. I believe he first said talked about the quality of play it for about a year. He's at the end of his career he's opened up about this not the first time he sees mention this not to say it's disingenuous is telling the truth why he's out there plan while Whitney Pastrana win the game.

855-2124 CBS. That's 855-2124 CBS on the gets more your calls and speaking of just winning again winning again.

Steve Nash mentioned Ben Simmons to tell you what Steve had to say about Ben, and it includes patients JR sport Risha here with you on CBS sports radio more your calls, we come back you were listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you have a platform you always tell your flat ability that I look up. You only know 552124 CBS that's right it's the JR sport Risha we're with you on CBS sports radio. Let me tell you about this verse, the defensive player of the week is sponsored by the Navy Federal credit Union proudly serves the Armed Forces DoD veterans and their families, their members on the mission. You can learn more@navyfederal.org you know what let love show some love this guy is a defender place of the cowboys. He scored only his second touchdown in his nine year NFL career, it's DeMarcus Lawrence's man.

I hope pretty much open up the game the Dallas Cowboys against the Los Angeles Rams. This man he ended up at a football at his feet went out there scored a touchdown he couldn't even believe it himself. I'm going to call him the defensive player of the week just because by the way Dallas Cowboys there. Therefore, in one Giants of foreign one equals a father no and we got to watch the one in four Washington plate of bears on Thursday night football, prepare yourselves.

Speaking of preparing yourselves were still in the preseason for the NBA. Ben Simmons is already in a let's just say he's not performing up to task just in their limited amount of time.

So much so that Steve Nash is already having to pretty much defend him.

Steve Nash says to be patient with Ben. He's an incredibly talented and unique player but he's not going to be at his best in the short term and he's just got to continue to slog through this period of returning to play in getting his confidence, timing and rhythm back no shock or surprise. Therefore, God who hasn't played in more than a year. Last time we saw Ben Simmons on the basketball court. He was afraid to take a layout and so we have seen video of Ben Simmons going go viral just over the past week there was an intended just shot that hit Kari Irving in the face of rebound or not to rebound the ball caromed off the hoop and hit Kari in the face and there was another shot of Ben Simmons at the open practice that the Brooklyn Nets at outside it and Brooklyn peer Brooklyn Borough Park and he took a shot and it hit absolutely nothing and that went viral. Then Simmons has already been booed by the home fans after missing two free throws. This man hasn't taken a shot at really away from the basket. He has eight turnovers to nine assists. And yes, it's preseason, but damn he's also coming off of a back surgery. He's been ridiculed relentlessly by every body. A good portion of that is his own doing on his exit out of Philadelphia and how it was handled. Then Simmons has taken some responsibility. But then of course he lay some at the feet of the Sixers as well. I'm sure if you asked him to to weigh it out. They probably blame them completely, or more than he should. Matter fact a couple weeks ago. This man decided to sit down with his old former teammate JJ Reddick on the old man in the three podcasting. This is what Ben Simmons have to say about outside criticism.

But I also know it comes with Playboy room so uncomfortable with people say what they want. Majority the time I delisted really wrong and some people are just say just to try to bring you down or which is that just shows more AR which is fine.

Something tells everybody what's been said all okay. It doesn't seem like he's he doesn't care. Seems like everything is in his head main part of his exit from the Sixers.

He talked about you know his his mental health issues and I don't know he was fun to watch. He was a lot of fun to watch. He is a unique player, 6 foot, 10 appoint gargle right to the basket get everybody involved.

You know you didn't shoot the ball. He's more of a slasher. He ain't shooting most shots we've seen him put up is typically in the off-season, and these Instagram videos. He has to go out there and just play dammit Kevin Durrant was asked about Ben Simmons during practice after practice, Kevin Behrendt came out of his mouth and said I'm not his babysitter. I'm not Ben Simmons babysitter Mike Danielle and he's right he's not, said Ben Simmons knows what he needs to do and we are all here to support him but I'm not as babysitter.

Wow Brooklyn that's going to be interesting to watch Kevin Durrant babysitter. Does he have one should have. He can afford one. For a lot of babysitters, but he's the biggest baby. Sometimes we have the NBA. Speaking of which, nobody taken care of now. It's it's it's it's funny and it's not funny but it is so while he doesn't want and in this, it's fine. It's not for everybody but for someone with so much talent it has become so clear over these latter years of his career he has zero interest in being the leader none. He just wants to show up and play ball like he's the Donald the fourth guy fifth guy on the team might it if he wanted to be a leader. I wonder how his career would have changed, but he is who he is, but hearing comments like that are not as babysitter light will damn makes you put into a different perspective already well you decided to join the team that beat you and you want to believe in and they still had success after you were gone and they did have more success year you obviously by winning a championship after everybody came back from injury you want to quit on the team soft yeah he saw one of the greatest basketball players of all time. A leader, at least from a verbal perspective of camaraderie perspective.

He is not. He literally just wants to show up and play basketball and God bless and that's that's not the top of the heap from a competition standpoint and that's disappointing.

He doesn't need to be Ben Simmons, babysitter.

He's right, but I mean damn tell us how you really feel about Ben Simmons. Benson is probably crying in his own milk somewhere right now is terrible.

You are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio you are listening to the JR sport brief on CBS sports radio show about cooling now with 855-2124 CBS and I appreciate you it's real simple. Before we get ready to rollout. Let's ignore your goals. It's been an eventful night.

We talked about the atoms we talked about Josh McDaniels in his decision to go for two talked about Bobby Wagoner that guy Bobby Wagoner.

It says he suffered a concussion. We talked about roughing the passer.

I mentioned Brett Favre weeding go deep into it. Brett Favre is like listen guys I didn't do anything wrong. Tom will sell talked about Ron Rivera screwing up. I just told you about Steve. Now she's telling everybody to have patience with Ben Simmons who hasn't played basketball in more than a year and then we actually just heard from Steve Kerr.

He spoke to the media tonight and he said that Tremont Green is not going to face a suspension.

He will be fine or he has been fine and that he will return to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday so it's been a busy night as we rollout to take some your calls and I'll be back with you tomorrow at 10 PM Eastern time, 7 PM Pacific. Also, as we know Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Always bring you a new top six list we know were fondly into the divisional round of the major league baseball playoffs and so were going to look at some individual players who have the most to prove. So the best time of the year for baseball who has the most approval talk about it tomorrow. But let's get to some your calls now before have to rollout 855-2124 CBS Chris Scola from Jacksonville sub Chris JR paper agree with you said earlier that in late October is the best time for sports, whether it basketball regular football or baseball all great sure now so I have wanted to talk about the Meyer Jackie Frommer Lawrence. I can't believe it.

I'm saying this, but there are brand our core uncle Jack Spann who are legitimately calling him Laurent the bus after 22 games. Now imagine in the Buffalo Bills bank that that would Josh Allen when he was a rookie and your mind.

Josh Allen didn't inherit a disaster which I know when your brother and I out that within you happen I mean that's what adulatory man named John Elway, for example, but this was a different one. Just like Jean was just bad. It will become a comparably myopic that year and it no core back there been a condition where when the head coach walking to the meeting room Gorbach is still the most mature guy in the room and that's just all the fieldwork you know the coeds or whatever and kicking player on the field watching all winter. Laurent was a rookie and I could make it like you know there was a phone app or you could download and then vote on what you want to see that the mental one. Anyone who's calling Trevor Lawrence of Boston is just there that they are lost. They lost this this will all intent and purposes is a progression season for him and and how he looked last year versus what he looks like right now I want to call it night and day. But GE has progressed, and in his development last year. Unfortunately was stunted in a disaster scenario it was. It was awful that Urban Meyer had this job and now you move ahead to Doug Peterson who not only has experience a coaching at sea. Not only does he have championship experience. He also played the position and so I think I think Trevor Lawrence is in a good spot to to move forward and succeed with Doug Peterson. I know that things aren't necessarily moving the full direction of what you wanted, but to start the season off so far. The team did look competitive. I think they all collectively laid an egg. A couple of days ago against Houston, but this is better than what they did last year, which is look like garbage. So anyone who's worried about Trevor Lawrence. I gotta tell you, Chris signal all my people gotta find some to complain about rights. I would go's market Scola from Callie your CBS sports radio submarket dog. There was a van. Did you watch a little game.

I did Garrett Coley. He only gave up a homerun in the Yankees I got a little bit of help from you know folks that they wouldn't necessarily expect to, so it's good that they had a victory out the way not judge everything all every single game treatment will start to hit that doll homerun really really beautiful party computer void of not running out, but that you have even run the effective date of the played looking at the right fielder like even and hit the first patent panel I got hit a home run run out and then it 20 offered offered embolic view of the planet. Like holy moly and he would pop in Yankee fans alike alike got love on the very next inning is a huge error] leg to him what a bricklayer and publicly looked at a lot of drama going on like mouse job that often stuff though. Everything I think that on twitter. The cottage is like really dumb run fan at Cleveland in five Duluth well that's what ISO stands do they talk trash and and and we know about the incident that happened earlier on in the season.

The fans at the batteries in all types of trashing crap.

Well, the Yankees, it would be a massive disappointment if they don't they don't win the series. I favor them to go ahead and take care of the guardians they have they have more offense. A lot of times Yankees offense can look real hit or miss our older nothing. I think the better position that waving Cleveland will see what happens right in Cleveland of really cool around your to gain but Yankee learning is strictly the whole gamut core 3400, like how they did today so I think it will be a done deal, but when I will make it well. Last week in London I did, I did not. The giant, winning a game about to crash back to earth. 17. Three. We came back to if we beat Marge Echo this week we got five and one week real. No, no, no, consented to do what look at the next board game after we play the correct and complete. So all in all help me out here I can look at the schedule at the New York Giants a contender to do what like just go to the playoffs so I would say a contender I would not really fair Super Bowl contender, I got deafened and a few very weak year so I marketplace. I'm going to tell you what I think about the New York Giants.

Kenny can they fall into the playoffs. Yes, yes they can, I would not be shocked or surprised.

If at some point in time, and if they have a week schedule. The NFC East is just plain crap. Seems this year anyway so can they fall into the playoffs. Yes, you know, I tweeted this out a couple of days ago, you have to give the New York Giants credit for how they been able to play.

Up until now, with a rookie had your I know.

I would say so mark yes I would, but he is my point.

You have a rookie head coach you have a a quarterback who is in the last year of his deal. He's not throwing the ball.

He's hurt. He's third in rushing those sake want Barclay as a resurgence of they have no wide receivers because a either a all hurt or be there on the outs of the team. I don't care what the Giants record looks like at the end of the year.

I don't care how they finished the season. This is still a rebuilding spot for them. Best case scenario if they should choose they can go out there and franchise tag Daniel Jones but let's be real man. He sees not just is not delivering the ball as like a superstar QB at the same time to sit to give them some love who the hell is he throwing the ball to. He doesn't have anybody to build a ball to so I'll tell you this, enjoy the New York Giants for what they are right now.

They haven't success there moving in an upward direction, but I wouldn't be overly optimistic as to where they can totally end up still know where they still got building to do, but it's a beautiful scenario that they're in right now absolutely beautiful riches going from Chicago your CBS sports radio for your well or talk but I would greatly have we got a little, we only got a few seconds. So whatever you want to talk about.

You have to hit it right now. Well, that I will go to church or talking about the Volpe Adams and limited what my solution is to poke you're very fair about this and I don't think anybody deserves the credit. You have got to get you. I think the answer to do a bath because he does not have a history as you point out, and I know that as well. I think they'll find him not suspend him and I'm an ex-corporate sponsor special Olympic about finding him $1 million for Special Olympics I let it go and let them keep quiet while not I would. I would like to.

I would personally like the donation to come in from anybody, but I hear you. Okay Rich, thank you for closing Scott listen, I'll take anybody want to donate to Special Olympics.

This is me Garrett is called from Charlotte your CBS sports radio; JR II think NFL trying to prevent the inevitable bars QB get 900 I think they need to find the sweet spot as far as our training goes, I think there are to earn a fine line from really messing up the game because a lot of people do like momentum swings in there there taken love the way and in effect on really come don't really, frequently yet. Other than that, other than that I really got nothing. And I really appreciate. I really appreciate technical no doubt Gary thank you for closing solid yet they do walk a fine line in the rules committee, which is consistent of of of owners really didn't have conversations next week about this.

This roughing the passer penalty because on one hand, the onus of pain. These guys like $40 million $40-$50 million now for top quarterback.

You don't want this got busted up on the other hand, you want to maintain the integrity of the game. When I say maintain the integrity of the game you don't want to quarterback out there. You know, floating on a cloud when everybody else has to suffer. Okay, so it's a fine line to walk. They going to do what is is in the best interest of the viewers eyeballs. That's it. The integrity of the game, but please believe it over the next several decades as authority, taken place. The game will always change over time is gone look different next decade in two decades and 30 years from now. That's just how it is you been listening to the JR sport preshow right here with you on CBS sports radio I'm gonna return tomorrow 10 PM Eastern time, 7 PM Pacific.
