Yeah, my young would that mean Okay, okay, let's play a game with that with mean? Listen, we ain't never rehearse this. Right. On the count of three, what does my man mean? One, two, three. My man. Oh yeah, I'm getting that.

Well, I'm getting that. I'm getting that, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But listen, listen, I'm getting it it right, but I ain't spinning it So ain't nothing change. It's still coming in but I'm still pretending like I'm broke. I Swore for God cuz this shit ain't real He can't be But see I told you listen see you well you were good for nestle boy I would have thought if I ain't know any better I would thought you were from Atlanta

Cuz it's some chug is this something else is this a scam We'll talk our way out of anything I still be scamming that yeah My god, I tell you I still I know cuz the lights hitting it look good on it. Yeah, see this ain't gonna lie to you. I know, because the lights hitting it, it look good, don't it? Yeah. Shit, this ain't just from the lab, nigga. Nah. She fix it, come on, you got food, go. Straight from the lab. You say you were disappointed that your former coach was there when you got there.

Y'all came in together, if I'm not mistaken, Ron Rivera, didn't call you when he was in Washington. Why did that upset you so much? That was my dog. Like we've been through so much. I always hear his voice in my head. Yeah kiddo, you know, man this that like... I say this respectfully. He raised me and I raised him.

He was a rookie head coach, I was a rookie player. I was not going to allow him to fail in Carolina, not under my watch. Because there's the oath and it's just in us as athletes that when somebody takes a chance on you no matter what round it is, you feel obligated to give. Because they, no matter what you wanna say, they've allowed you the opportunity to take care of your bloodline. So when what was happened or what had happened

in Carolina with me and Coach Rivera, we had numerous talks and discussions About the game of football and about life So when I was going through the transition of being out of Carolina, I was like yo, I was damn coach And it wasn't just him see that's the thing. I can't blame a head coach because he may not have picking power But Marty Herney the same thing he was he drafted me right he was in DC and he said it's

I'm gonna take it a step further the head trainer that they had Ryan Vermillion was there nobody so me going through this whole resurgence, like yo, like, damn, I kept asking about Asian. I'm like, yo, they ain't called? Washington ain't called? I know what's going on. So maybe you weren't as close as you previously thought? Man, I'm an action person, bro.

I'm an action person, and I teach my children this. Man, I could tell you anything, but if I don't prove on a day-to-day basis that I love you. What I showed you. Dog, that don't mean nothing to me. Have you had a conversation with him? Have you spoken to him? No, sir.

Not like we said, no, it's not no beef, and I don't want nobody to kind of take what I'm saying is that I'm angry because there was a business decision that has to be made. And I was, and I knew I was coming off a shoulder injury. It's that. That's all it was. That was like for me to just say,

hey kiddo, how you doing? Hey, how you feeling though? Let's come up here for a physical. Let me really. Do a deep dive. That's the relationship we had and It was the things and I told coach Rivera. I was like yo, this was in Carolina I was like in any short yardage situation coach Give me the fucking ball here. Here's ladies gentlemen, Raheem Morris. The man changed the script guys.

I just want to know do you need some fresh legs out there at camp? Say that again? Do you need some fresh legs? I can still go, I promise you. I tell uncle all the time, I still got it. Even at, listen, even at 56. I'll tell you this. Ocho definitely can give me a couple of releases.

There we go. And then we're going to stop right there, guys. We got no routes. You know, when you talk about quarterbacks, we understand how important that position is. Obviously, in order to sustain a consistent success for any team, if you look at the top teams in NFL, it always comes down to the quarterback position. to sustain a consistent success for any team, if you look at the top teams in NFL, it always comes down to the quarterback position. Is there a disconnect in any way

with the quarterback competing with each other, understanding the pressures that are on Kirk Cousins if he doesn't play well, that job is in jeopardy? I think the message was clear coming in. It was open, it was honest, it was clear. Kirk's our starter. Kirk's gonna take us to places that we want to go to. And Mike is gonna come in and he's gonna watch what it

looks like, what it feels like. He wanna see what it looked like when you had your quarterbacks in your day with John Elway. He wanna see what it looked like. You ain't having no quarterbacks, but what it looked like to go out there and play. You've won Super Bowls at two different stops. You've been an assistant under a lot of different head coaches. What is the common denominator between winning and losing? The people. It's the people first business in everything we do. When you were a Raven, I watched it live in hand.

I came into that stadium and I watched the confidence in the people, I watched Ray Lewis talk smack, I watched you talk smack and we went in there like, man, we about to beat them and then y'all let us know after the game that y'all wasn't. And it was the people that was involved with the organizations, it was all about that. And here we're building a people first business and we're doing it with us, we're doing it with our people, with our fans and like I just think that's just the messaging. You gotta have that type of mentality. It's gotta be a people first mentality.

It has to be at all times. In everything we do, we're talking about with the fans, we're talking about with our community, we're talking about in the building, we're talking about with myself and Terry Fontenot and our relationship, Arthur Blank and how he communicates with everybody, how we go about our whole process.

It's the people, it's the people, it's simple. Obviously you had other opportunities. How do you convince coaches that look like you, that don't feel like that opportunity's ever gonna come? Because you had, think about it, there was a 15 year gap between the time that you were the head coach until you got it again. And you had interviews, and did you ever think like,

man, I don't know if I'm gonna ever get another chance to be a head coach again. So you ready Shana? It's real simple for me right? I was a 32 year old head coach and I did it again and people were telling me you should have had it a long time ago. I don't give a damn what you people were saying. I'm gonna work for it. I'm gonna go get it. And when it happens, I'm gonna be ready. So I'm gonna keep developing my skillset that when it happens again, there's gonna be no denying on what you can

and how you're gonna be able to do it and go about your business. And I don't give a damn what color I am. Results don't know color. I like it. I like it. I like it. You look at what you've done. You've got Grady Jarrett.

You bring him back. You signed Justin Simmons. You signed Matthew Judon. You just gave AJ Terrell a boatload of money. You locked him up. I drafted him too, don't forget. You did. You did draft him.

So what is the expectation of this defense considering you've got guys that have been Pro Bowls, that have been to the All-Pro. AJ Terrell is one of the better young corners in the league and we know Gerrity Jarrett is one of the outstanding defensive linemen in the league. What is the expectation? That's your area of expertise. As you know, as you know it's really simple right? Stats are for losers. Yes. There are expectations that go out there and beat dogs. Right? We got to find ways to affect the quarterback and make them just feel uncomfortable at all times.

And once you find a way to make them uncomfortable and you dominate rundowns and you get the ball back, then just go watch our offense shine, right? That's what winning teams do. That's how you form your identity. That's how you make things move. That's how the needle moves. And the next thing you talking about it on your shows about the stats, we don care about none of that we care about the dog mentality is gonna take to get there That's what our that's what our goal is. That's what our that's that's what the expectations are from the seaport

Let's put some hands together for miss flow. J. Scott's son. Have a seat. Have a seat. Let's do it Whatever you want to say wherever you want to say How you doing I'm good I'm good I'm good I don't know if people know this but you're from the seaport you grew up about three outside of here in Savannah, Georgia Most of them are P camouflage. That's what we do at the seaport Let me ask you this. How do you balance the two because obviously you're good at this rap game You play basketball at an elite level. What's the schedule?

How do you find time to, because basketball, you own a basketball scholarship. Yeah. But you still, this is your passion also. So how do you balance that? I mean, it is hard, but I mean, it's not impossible, right? You just gotta, it's just time management. But I know in the summer, I gotta take full advantage

of my time in music, you know what I'm saying? So I just try to go full throttle while still working out and trying to get better in the off season. Because during the season, Coach Moki like, all right, this is my time, you know what I'm saying? That was kind of our deal. You give me everything you got in the season, and in the summer I'm gonna let you rock

and do your music, so yeah. Tell us the story. I saw you over at Cannes, and you got in the season, and in the summer I'm gonna let you rock and do your music. So, yeah. Tell us the story. I saw you over at Cannes, and you was telling the story that you had a concert one night. You had to do the concert, but you had to fly back, got back early in the morning. You were sleepy, you was tired, but you know you had to get it because Coach Moqui was gonna be on your, you know what, had you not. Yeah, no. So what happened was Rod Wave,

he gave me the chance to open up for him in Atlanta. So we had a game that night. The next day after games, we always have off days. So I flew to Atlanta on my off day, and then I drove back seven hours to go to BR, right? And I'm already knowing it's a stigma of like, nah, she can't do both for real, you know what I'm saying? So I don't even wanna give people a thought to even be like, oh, she can't do both for real. Like, you know what I'm saying? So I don't even want to give people a thought

to even be like, oh, she came to practice and she was tired. No, when I came to practice, I was like bouncing off the walls for real. Like, because I knew that I had to come in and kill, you know what I'm saying? And I was the first one in the gym, last one out, like always. So I mean, my mindset, you know what I'm saying?

I think it's more mind over matter. I think your mind can make you do things that your body sometimes won't allow when you determine. And that's how I feel like I work all the time. You know what? We all have dreams when we growing up as kids. Obviously my dream I want to be an NFL player. One of your dreams I'm sure is to play in the WNBA.

Will you continue your path as far as, I don't want to word it the right way, actually wanting to rap as well and be able to balance both at the highest level. Yeah, I think it'll be easier honestly because I don't have as much commitment. Yeah, like oh my gosh, school, you got school first of all, then you got tutoring sessions and all of that, and you got weights, and you got all the other, you know, requirements of an athlete, practice, everything. So I think it'll be easier, you know what I'm saying, to be able to build my schedule

and how I want to do. My goal is to like play an arena during the day and then sell out that same arena at night like playing basketball. So that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's a lie. You're gonna have to work that out with the coach. I don't know if she's gonna be going for that one.

She better go. When did you realize that you could rap? When I was on America's Got Talent. I was on America's Got Talent when I was about 14 and I got the golden buzzer. And like Simon Cowell came to the back. He was like, you know, one day you could be a superstar. And I'm like, but I'm like, that's Simon Cowell. Like he don, he was like, one day you could be a superstar. And I'm like, but, I'm like, that's Simon Cowell,

he don't even like singers for real. So him telling a young black girl that she can, he sees some type of superstar power in her, that kind of just gave me the confidence that I could do it. Because right before America's Got Talent, I was on the rap game with Jermaine Dupri and I lost. And so that was like, when I lost that, I went into my room and I just wrote all day

and then America Got Talent called and I was ready for the opportunity and I got that validation that I kinda needed as a 14 year old. And ever since then, nobody could tell me nothing for sure. I'm Keri Champion and this is season four of Naked Sports where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down to history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't never heard them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day,

and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?

And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.

["Fantasy Footballers Dynasty"] Our last guest of the night, guys, he really doesn't need any introduction.

You've heard me mention him on several occasions. He was the guy that raised me. He was the guy that I wanted to be the most like. My brother, Sterling Sharp. I was a real big fan of the show until I had to follow the discussion about angle. My religion wasn't around me to be around people bad, but I'm glad to be here. Do you realize I grew up with him, but tonight was the first time I met him. Yeah, yeah. And I've always been a big fan, and we say that a lot, but you know guys that have a

passion for what they do. It ain't about money, it's not about cars or diamonds, although we have them. I enjoyed watching you play and do what you did. Now the antics I probably could have did without, but I really did enjoy you as a player. I really appreciate the way you play. Thank you, I appreciate that.

Coming from, and this is one of the things, if you, for those you that watch when I played, obviously I was vilified through the mainstream media because of my style of play with the antics and having the fun, but to get the credit from my peers and those that came before me, you don't know how much that means. Definitely one of the best ever. Thank you, I appreciate it. Definitely one of the best ever. Appreciate it. A lot of times people ask us, ask me, they ask you, man, how much of what you say, how

much of what your brothers say about your grandparents, what your grandfather said, what your grandmother said, how much of what he's saying did they actually say? I'm gonna do it this way. For those of you who have grown up in a, I'm gonna say a black church, you know when they talk about Christians and Jesus, the shepherd and the sheep smell alike. Whatever he says, He got it from somewhere

He didn't come up with it on his own So when he says my grandma used to say dust and so she actually did say it When he said, you know, my grandfather used to say this definitely used to say it so Camp cam and I had a moment backstage and I was sitting in the audience So, Cam and I had a moment backstage and I was sitting in the audience listening to Cam and he said something that I've been saying for years that I never thought anybody heard, but obviously he felt the same way. And if you look at Tiger Woods and Venus and Serena and Shannon Sharp and Sterling Sharp,

and I don't know Chad's background so I'm gonna leave him out but the successful people that came from nowhere were told what to do. What does Richard Williams know about playing tennis but we have Venus and Serena. What in the world did Earl Woods ever know about playing golf but he gave us Tiger Woods. I will say this, my brother and I have never had a fight. Now, he used to cheat and I used to beat him down, but we never had a fight. The only time my brother told me what he wasn't going to do

was that he wasn't going to go to Savannah State College. And I said, that's good because I'm on the way. I'm leaving Columbia. I was in school at South Carolina. I'm leaving. Bro, you're not going to the army. That's not going to happen. The only time he and I ever had a disagreement, I have never in my 59 years on this earth tried to be his father but We were always taught that if you have to look past your own dinner table to find a role model There's something going on in your home. I only wanted him

Bobby dandridge His nickname was Mr. Clutch. We had Franco Harris and Tony Dorsett. I wanted him to look at his own dinner table and be like, remember it's the shepherd and the sheep thing. I never told him what to do. I never tried to instruct him. I never led him. to do. I never tried to instruct him. I never led him.

I lived my life. But the wonderful thing, and for those of you who have kids, you know this, the wonderful thing is, he was watching. And I am so proud. I'm proud of that guy right there because I'm proud of Chad

because the perception, the perception, the persona and who he really is is actually two totally different people. You don't realize how hard it is for him to come out here and do that. That ain't who he is. That is not who he is. I'm ruining it for you. And for him, he didn't go through anything.

He's led by a higher power that put him where he wanted to be. And what he went through on TV, he needed to go through that so he could get here. And sometimes... Many, many times in a family, you go through things that are hurtful. But he had to go through that to get to here. And he had to be here to get him. And those two together doing some really good stuff. They're fun to watch. They talk about really good things, not the anal part, but they talk about really

good things and I'm very proud of both of them. When we did the same things, when we both played football, we could talk football. When we both did TV, we could talk TV. I play golf, he doesn't, so we don't have anything in common right now. But we can still find out how each one of us, how we're doing and I'm very proud of how he handled the skip situation. He almost, he almost lost it. The, the, the Afro-American almost came out. I know you saw it when the glasses went on the table. Skip, I'm in the F and O of fame.

I was like, I said to myself, that is the end of the sharps on TV. Cause I knew what was going to come next. And I was like, Skip, I hope you can fight. But no, I say that in jest. I never thought he would lose control. I was really shocked that he yelled and screamed. But he yelled and screamed not because of what Skip said.

He yelled and screamed because he was so hurt that someone he liked and trusted would say or do that to him. And he would never say this, I'm not on TV. I don't do anyone else's media at all, except PGA Tour Golf, I go on their show. But I don't do anybody else's because you can't ask me about him

Because I'm not going to give you anything about him Do I like his success? You're gonna have to use your own imagination Do I think he is doing the right thing? You're gonna have to use your imagination. I do not Talk about him Everybody goes when you gonna be on Club Shay-Shay? I was like, I was first. Before it became Club Shay-Shay and Chad, they were famous. I went on then because I was like, I see where this train going and this is way before Catway. I do not want to be anywhere near

Where this thing's going so club Shay and nightcap I Could say this this is probably the last time you see me publicly Because they are going in a totally different stratosphere and and I want to thank him new not to cam Backstage I am very impressed by him Totally different stratosphere, and I want to thank Cam Newton. I told Cam backstage, I am very impressed by him because they are a lot alike. And you have to admit, Cam is the largest human being you've ever seen.

Dude is gigantic. And now it's time for you guys, one of you guys's favorite segment the rail report come on out here Hey, we'll need a mic right red rail might Hey real Hey Are you doing real I'm going amazing you just flew into town today, you know rail sprung in town today We ain't doing amazing.

And it's easy, like when you get upset with your partner, I'm speaking from experience. And it's easy, like when you get upset with your partner and the first thing you go, let me see, I don't know what she's effing up with. I'm the dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm an Ocho Nance.

And I'm motherfucking real. So, with that being said, look, this ain't nothing we can't overcome. We family. How about we have, how about this here? Like when I go on vacation next year, you and Ray are host nightcap. You said you wanted you what a I want to be on first date Bro when I'm going on first date when I take my two months off

but on God, we really beefing. Well, you gotta keep reiterating. Just so they don't think this ain't serious. This shit serious. We beefing for real. And I'm mad. Let's give it up for the biggest boss you ever saw, Mr. Rick Ross. Ross?

What's happening, what's happening, what's happening, what's happening? I'm proud of y'all, man. Y'all make some noise for these two right here, man. I had you on the podcast. You were one of my first guests on Club Shashe. And you was telling the story how you was always a hustler that you would, hey, for a little extra money,

you was washing cars, but for a little extra money, hey, I'm gonna rearrange your cassettes, I'm gonna put them things in there in alphabetical orders, all this, I'm gonna do all this stuff. You always had that entrepreneur skill. You always had the ability, the foresight, to see, like you know what? The homie's gonna like this.

That's what it's all about. Take it to that next level. Whatever you got going on, whoever your business partners are, surprise them. Take them to that next level. You see I got my brand up here. I wanna try yours as well, but that's what it's all about.

I got my homie Jeremy, Slippery Soap. He in here tonight. So it's just all about always sharing that platform with my team. And that's what we do. We all see the progress, we all grow. You look back a decade later, god damn. Listen, you gotta think, well we go way back, boy.

We go way back. Way back. So I'm trying to think, When I think about artists today, how important do you think it is for them to build their brand the way you have outside of the music industry? But the thing is, you had the success to be able to do it through music,

which made the transition that much easier. Right. So how do you answer that question? It's one thing about building a brand, but you gotta be good at the first part, that is your profession. Right, right. What we all gotta accept and be realistic about it

is like going to the league, everybody won't make it to the Hall of Fame. You being an artist, everybody may not know how to go out and really become that product, or sell products. It's a lot of huge artists that can sell records, but the young kids don't want to dress like them, so they can't sell clothes, they can't sell shoes.

Nigga won't even wear they socks. You know what I'm saying? So everybody can't do everything, but what you do want to make clear is the opportunities that are out there. So if you're a young athlete, you know what I mean, it's the NIO, the game changer right now, but it's all about making sure you understand

you are a business, you the CEO of your life, and every day you wake up, you run it just like you would want to run your business. Alright guys, the next guy that's coming to the stage is a Houston rap legend. Hold on. I gotta use the bathroom. Boy, you got kidneys like an old person.

I got a pee pee. Go ahead. Alright. I'm sorry. Lord have mercy. You see this? See what I go through this? He ain't got no mic on. He go. Lord have mercy, you see this, see what I go through this?

He ain't got no mic on, he go. You good, you good, that's it. I'm filling in for my homie Chad Ocho C. Okay, that's what's up. What's up everybody, what's up Houston? What's good? Did you fly in for this or are you here now? I'm here, I'm local, My daughter's at Prairie View. Okay.

She's going to Georgia. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee. Pee-Vee.

What's been circulating lately is that Tyreke racing Noah Liles. Tyreke, I don't know what much more attention that he needs. I mean, he already has enough attention as it is but he's not beating Noah Lyles. I don't care what it is, what it is. He barely like we we did a we made a bet like probably three years ago he said he would give me like ten steps it was like nine yards and we'd raced a hundred hundred yards he barely made up a yard. If I get a good start I can beat Tyree and that's not there's no cap

That's just me being realistic and understanding who I am and what my ability believe you You believe you got a great start if I work if I were if you got a speed coach and says, okay Oh Joe, we're gonna work with you for three months. And at the end of the show now, he ain't doing nothing But at the end of those three months and it says okay you raised Tyreek what you want to race him in a 40 a 60 100 what you want to race? He has no chance in the hundred cuz I'm I'm one of those back you want you unwind once. Yeah, I pick up at the end 50 60 that's very competitive But if I get a good start he he gonna have a problem. He's gonna have a problem, but he's not beating Noah Laos

That's not no. Why do you why do you think he keeps challenging Noah Laos? I don't know what much more attention that he needs But it's not possible. He's not about to he's not about to be an Olympic gold medalist Or nothing. Oh, it's like you could beat him in a 50 Ocho ain't beat me in a fit Thanks Tyree Tyree can be no, he's not beating him in a fit. Hello. Hello. Hello It's about a mindset. There's as football players like said Tyreek is good football speed, right? He no hands down. He's one of the fastest in NFL and there are some guys that will probably challenge him on that right He didn't raise DK Metcalf

Why if you're that fat you think that fans like race DK mega? There's Mark? He's good when who was a track guy right Olympic guy? Why aren't you racing these guys to save your word that you just ran the fastest 40? Man, you bite enough a little bit more than you can chew when you mess with no allows Like what is it? What is it? you're trying to get out of this, but you're not beating Noah Lowes? You think he's beating Noah Lowes? I said in the 50 or 60 it'd be close.

He's not. Because he'd get out so fast. And we've been going at this for years. Yeah. You're not even faster than me. I would admit. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You're quicker than me.

No, you're not even a better receiver, B. Stop playing with me, boy. I'm Ocho, boy. It's me, boy. I'm going not even a better receiver, B. Stop playing with me, boy. I'm Ocho, boy. It's me, boy. I'ma go sit over this, on this couch with that. This the yellow jacket couch over here. You know what I mean? Hey, hey homeboy.

Oh hey, this the yellow jacket couch over here. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You buy yourself a, you know, I got love for you. But this is what you gotta check. I got a jacket too, I made my own. So look, hey, it's three, listen, hold on, hold on. I had my own too before I got my real one. Nah, hold on.

It's 300 of y'all, this is only one of me, nigga. That's all good, that's good. Nah. Like you said. And I look better than you. Nah, not happening, not happening, not happening. Hey, our next guest, an iconic figure in the Houston area, a legendary player for the Houston Texans.

A Hall of Famer. Yeah! Who lives in Houston now. Don't get it confused, by way of Miami. He he he he he he he. The GOAT. Andre, the better of the Johnsons. Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! As you a first player in the Houston Texans to go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What did that, when you got the call and it says, they knock on the door, Andre Johnson, welcome to football heaven, you've been that not you know so I don't think words can really describe it if you like I had to take a moment to literally go sit on my couch

you know and I have my hands in my head and I just you know to be it's been over 30,000 guys to play this game. It's only 378 people in the Hall of Fame. That's not even 1%. That's correct. To be mentioned with that, man, that's special. It's special. It's special.

It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. It's special. Listen, obviously being from Miami, growing up together, did you ever think that the story that we are in control of, being able to write, would have gotten to where it's gotten now?

Hell nah. I'm not even going to lie, Chad. you know how we grew up, like, in a neighborhood, we just wanted to be able to provide a better life for our family. That was always our goal, like, we just want to make it out. And to have, to get to the level of being a Hall of Famer, like I never woulda imagined that in a million years, bro. You know, so, I ain't gonna lie, man, just having you here and enjoying this with you, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, appreciate it, appreciate it.

A lot of people really don't know, man, how far we go back, bro. Oh, way, way back, way back. Matter of fact, the funny thing about it, for those of you that don't know, Dre and I used to train in offseason, you know, during our day when we were playing. Me, Tana Man, Tony O'Brown, crazy ass. Who else we had out there, man. Man, it was a lot of us. It was a lot of us. So, you know, it was a certain connection that we all kept, like we was family. You know, obviously we all played on different teams,

but everybody from that area, we all got back together and we always, man, shit, worked our ass off in the off season, man, and it's awesome. You know, as someone that has always looked up to you, even from afar, during the times we were all so close, man, I'm proud of you. I'm really proud of you. Appreciate it.

Appreciate it. But I'm pretty sure they showed on your highlight clip that fight. Yeah. Oh, I forgot about that. I'll do that when it's coming. I had only met you once, I came here early in your career. And as a matter of fact, I think,

I think Koo Koo was the coach. He was the coach. And you were very quiet and you're still quite quiet. And I remember that happening. And I'm like, what did this man say to get him? He don't even talk, let alone fight. What did he say to get you so like, you like, F it, I'm in Liberty City right now.

I'm swinging, bro. Nah, it had been going on for about three years. Damn! You know that it built up that long? Yeah. Yeah, it had been going on for about three years. Man, I never shared this story with nobody but because we all night, Cap would give it to me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, there we go. So, Chad, you remember club play? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Old Cristal. Yeah, yeah. So, man, this is no lie. Like,

they're driving up to the club. It's my little brother and Rudy. My brother's sitting in the passenger seat. Rudy's in the back seat. And we're on pulling up in valet and they jump out the car while the car's moving. Right. And I'm pulling up in valet and they jump out the car while the cars moving. Right. And I'm like what the hell y'all doing? They was like there you go. So I'm like what are y'all talking about? It's Cortland. He's standing at the front door of the club. Right. I didn't even see him. They wanted to get on them right then and I'm like nah like we not doing that? So that happened like a year prior, so, I don't know man, like we was up 20 to nothing,

and I told Kube, I was like, hey man, I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass. I'm finna beat his ass on one. Ready, break. So that was just, that was just it, man.

Like, I just had enough of, you know, the stuff he was doing, so. So it was mainly cheap shots, not so much talking. It was the cheap dirty stuff. No, no, no, the talking. You could talk all day. I don't give a damn about talking. Right. But, you know, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. he was doing so uh so it was mainly cheap shots not so much talking it was the cheap talking you could talk all day I don't give a damn by talking right but it was the cheap things he would do at the place okay yeah y'all cool now y'all cool now y'all see I don't know I ain't never seen I see him one time since that whole situation so long but after that he ain't chief shot you no more, huh? Nah, he ain't gonna do that. No. No.

No. No. I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I know I'll go down to history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese

have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?

So, like, listen, I'm in shape if you need a set of extra legs.

We need you. We can get a workout on Tuesday. You ready? Swear to God. Serious, don't do me like that. Because I'm trying to get out of the house. Sir, don't do me like that, because I'm trying to get out the house. Hey, we got somebody to get you the ball.

There we go, that you do. Go ahead. I got a job, y'all. Coach, in your wildest imagination, when you got drafted to this team at the first round draft pick, and went rookie of the year, you have a stellar career,

did you ever imagine that you'd ever come back and be the head coach never never in my lifetime what I've imagined being a head coach of the Houston Texans the team that drafted me but it's that it was that surreal moment right it's uh I had other options other teams that were vying, but it was like, man, to go back to Houston. Where it all started. Where it all started, like struggling a little bit, like it meant more to come back home to Houston. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I don't, coach, obviously you've been around the game of football for a very long time. For those that are on the outside looking in, I don't think they understand how special a season that was for you to have. Obviously you understand the difficulty when you draft the rookie quarterback

and understanding you have a program that is trying to build itself back to winning consistently and to be able to have a successful season. Obviously not winning a championship but still having a successful season knowing that you can build off of that. Do you understand how great your season was last year? Yeah, I do understand.

It all starts with, like you said, the rookie quarterback. Everybody now, they expect rookies to come in and just ball out from the start. That doesn't happen. Especially at the quarterback position, you've got to have a special person to do that. And we were fortunate enough to get CJ at number two. this kid is special. Yes definitely. You know he's fun to work with but and he didn't start off that way like we didn't we started off with a

rough season like we had to go through some growing pains and he learned a lot our team learned a lot of how we had to play to win games and that growing that growth process throughout the season that made it even more special to know we didn't just come out just beating people and I told our guys too you know we talked about how special of a season it was you look up we had I think it was ten games that were in the last minute of the game we were right in the game and I think we won seven of those ten in the last minute of the game, we were right in the game. And I think we won seven of those 10 in the last minute of the game.

So that just shows the margin for error in this league. It's still tight, even though it's a great season. But man, I tell our guys, you have to work hard. You gotta grind those wins, and you gotta be smart in those situational moments to close games out. Coach, but you understand, you were a rookie head coach. You had a rookie quarterback. The expectations this year, given what happened last year,

are a lot different than they were last year going in. You mentioned CJ came in and played unbelievable. Tank Dale, Nico Collins, you signed us, I mean you traded for Stefan Diggs. Your defense, Stingley Jr., Will Anderson Jr. What are your expectations from this team? Number one!

I hear you. No, I still tell our guys our expectations is just to get better every day. Like, I tell, like, we can't get everybody know when we suit up like you guys have, like, everybody wants to go win it all, right? That's always the goal, that's why we do what we do. We're trying to go get that Lombardi,

but we don't get there overnight. So, enjoy the process of just getting better every day, and when we look up in February, and we're there, playing for that Lombardi, that's what's gonna make a man special. Right. There's something I always wanted to ask you. There was an issue obviously with Brian Flores and Tua in the way he talked to him.

Obviously it rubbed Tua the wrong way. And I just want to know how do you navigate being able to coach certain players certain ways and how do you approach it? Because some players you can coach hard. You understand those that are built like that. You can coach them a little harder. Some of them you got to pat them on the back and guide them. How have you been able to do that with your players?

Yeah, with it, man, that's a great question. Right, I was just talking to one of my coaches about that earlier today. Man, you have to have a relationship with guys. Like, if you don't have a relationship with guys, then you don't know how that guy's gonna respond. Yeah. Right, some guys I could coach hard.

Some guys I know like, I can get it out of him, but I don't need to go as hard with him. I just gotta tell him, hey man, you're doing a great job, hey, keep it going young fella, we gonna get there. But if you don't establish that relationship outside of football, you just gotta sit down, you gotta eat with guys, you gotta meet with guys, just talk to them one on one, like what's got to sit down, you got to eat with guys, you got to meet with guys, just talk to them one-on-one like what's going on outside of football

so you can really get to know that young man and what's going on in his life. That's how you are able to relate to guys and coach. Now once you get that relationship, I can coach him up hard, right? But everybody, you can't coach hard. Everybody doesn't need hard coaching, but as a coach, it's our job, right? And that's one thing I learned about coaching. I thought, man, when I finished playing, I thought I was gonna hop in like, hey Kyle, I can come coach the linebackers right now. But that's what I learned when I was in San Fran. I truly learned like, man, you got every guy is different. How do you teach every guy? Alright, every guy learns different.

Everybody, you gotta explain things differently, and they pick it up different. So for me, that's where I learn, like man, you have to be adaptable as a coach. But you gotta know these guys outside of football. You know, go ahead, give it up to. A lot of times, sometimes, coaches try to hide hard coaching behind disrespect. It's like if I'm working for you, I want you to coach me, Harold, I want you to say what

I'm doing wrong, but there's a very, very fine line between hard coaching and disrespect. Now you have, guys have to understand, that's a grown man you're talking to. This ain't college. He's not trying to get to the NFL. He's already here. He's not in high school trying to get to college, so those guys, you can coach, I mean, when we grew up, coaches Custer Sal, all kind of that.

You do that now, you're gonna turn a guy off, or the guy might wanna fight you. He might wanna fight you, or he might just leave. You know, these guys, it's a different era, and I've never tried to cross the lines of cursing guys out. I feel like if I have to curse you out, like, I got the wrong guy. Correct. First off, right?

I don't even have time for that. Like, we're men, we're working together, and I tell our guys, my first meeting, I was like, this is what you can expect from our coaches. Our coaches are going to be respectful. They're going to tell you the truth, and they're gonna coach everybody in this room, right? Because they care. Your success is their success.

So we have to find that common ground to work together for us all to be successful. You played for Coach Saban. I don't know, your high school coach, you played for Cooke. What are some of the things, what's D'Amico Ryan's coaching style? Did you take a little bit from Coach Saban because as hard as he is, he does a great job of patting the players on the back

even when they make mistakes. With my coaching style, I took a lot from a lot of different coaches that I was around. I think, you know, it all starts from, I spent the most time around Robert Sala Okay, right and in that coaching profession like I just learned from him like man You you got to bring great energy every day right and you got to be able to relate to all these guys in the same room How can you relate to them like storytelling like whatever keeping it light with with jokes like it's's a fine line, just coaching all the guys. Even Wade Phelps, Wade Phelps, man, he was your head coach, he would come into the meeting room,

Wade would just tell a joke to everybody in the room, and he'd talk to you. He always told a story about you, like, hey man, like, we had a guy on scout team, I told him. Don't worry about covering him, he's better than the guys that are playing. So it was always Wade found a way, in a playful way to get guys' attention, draw guys in.

So I think you draw them in, you get their attention, you relate to the guys, right? Also with Saban, I know he's hard on guys, but the only way you can be hard on them is you gotta love them too. Right, right, you gotta- Love them just as hard as you come and you have to and guys got to know For me, I had a Strength and conditioning coach. He called me as soon as I got into coach and he was like D'Amico

Players do not care how much you know Until you they know how much you care about them, right? And so that was the one thing that's always stuck to me like I tell our guy man how much you know until they know how much you care about them, right? And so that was the one thing that's always stuck to me. Like I tell our guy, man, I care about you as a man, first and foremost. This football, we gonna get to the football. I'm gonna correct you, I'm gonna coach you up.

But man, I care about you as a man being successful after football is over. Like I want you to be a great husband, great father, great leader in the community, because that's what's gonna last. and then the fall is over, I want you to be a great husband, great father, great leader in the community, because that's what's going to last. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Your approach to the game of football, obviously when you played, I'm not sure if you had any superstitions or not.

As for myself, there was a certain routine that I stuck to. And to me, I felt this routine that I stuck to during my playing days would probably give me the success that I wanted, despite putting the work throughout the week. Now that you're a coach and you play, obviously, do coaches have routines and superstitions

once you get to that point as a leader of men? Or you just allow the work that you put in during the week to take care of itself? Yeah, I think you fall into those kind of superstitions. You kind of fall into them because it's like, oh man, we smoked them this week. Like, hey, we got whatever I did, whatever I ate last week, whatever I listened to on the way to the state,

like, run it all back. But I don't believe in that. That's the reason why. I think you just get into a habit. But I don't believe in that, that's the reason why. I think you just get into a habit, but I don't believe in the superstitions. But sometimes you get off, it's routine. It's routine, it's a routine a lot of coaches fall into, whether it's working out before the game,

running stadiums, or hitting the treadmill, certain things. For me, my deal is I'm watching film up until the last minute before I have to go out. Like I'm trying to find another advantage. Like I'm looking at third down again. I'm looking at two minute for as long as I can. They come knock, hey coach, we gotta go. It's like I'm trying to get that edge

up until the last minute. We're talking about the Rooney rule. There's a lot about that. And you had great success. Were you ever concerned because you see so many black coaches like go 10, 15 years before they even get an opportunity to go interview for a head coach? You didn't have to wait that long.

You had about a two year, maybe two year, once you became the DC at San Francisco, your name immediately went into that pool. So you didn't have to wait long. How do you tell your brother and fellow black coaches like just to be patient when some of them have been patient for 10-15 years. Yeah, that's uh, You know, I think for for me being in the position I am Man, I'm standing on the shoulders of guys who paved the way before me. All right a lot of a lot of coaches who

Grinded and they didn't get that opportunity. I know one coach in particular, you know Coach Bobby Turner. Yep. You know, Coach Turner, that was my role model. I was there in San Fran, that's the guy I looked up to, the OG, like he's been coaching for over 30 years, and he never got that opportunity, and I know he deserved the opportunity.

So I always tell Coach Turner, man, I love you, I thank you for you providing me this opportunity to become a head coach and when I became a head coach, I'm like, man, I gotta do this for you, Coach T. I gotta be successful for you. And it's the same thing I tell all other guys, like man, I'm representing a lot of guys who are still trying to get that opportunity, a lot of guys who are coming after me to get that opportunity, and I just

I want to represent the right way. That's a good thing about it. The fact that we get so few opportunities to be a leader of black men, be in a position of power, does it add any more pressure to you as a head coach or do you just don't even think about it and just do what you need to do? It doesn't add pressure to me because I know at the end of the day it's about doing the job the right way. Yes sir. Right it's surrounding myself with the right people, right coaches staff, the right players. I guess not just about me it's about my entire

support staff everybody in that building helping me to be successful, right? I can't do it by myself. So it doesn't add any pressure to me. It's just, I know the task at hand and it's just about us going out, dominating the process every day, being as good as we can be every single day, getting a little bit better,

and we're gonna, the wins, the results, all that stuff will show up when we work the right way. I think the question that everybody wants to know, you and Ocho still beefing? God damn right we beefing. He is in time out. I don't know why he act like I'm in a dog house, but he's in the dog house.

Nah, we beefing. You know what, it's something that's really funny. You know how you look at Instagrams, you look at Twitter, you look at just pictures in general when it comes to couples you ever notice how they always show you the good everybody's always smiling everybody's always fucking happy they don't never tell you about the motherfucking ups and the motherfucking downs why you gotta curse so much because I'm mad I'm trying I'm trying to share my experience to let you know that it ain't always fucking happy.

It ain't always fucking smiling. She make me fucking mad and I Love her, right? I love her. That's my dog, but She in a dog house. Well, if you love her give her a kiss. Uh-uh. I don't know. I'm in a dog house. Oh. I can't kiss him. I got chapstick on.

And he been smoking cigars. He been smoking cigars. You don't like cigars? It's funny. When we met, when we met, I was smoking cigars. It wasn't no problem. And it wasn't no problem. But you brushed your teeth and you had a mint in the back of your mouth

Now you got complacent right and you think you're supposed to just kiss on me without doing all that so that's not love That's not love. I got it. I got to do all this extra stuff But I got you now So crazy thing is chat has always been my celebrity crush. OK. Like, ah, girl. We're going to have to ask him. No.

Damn, oh Joe I Just happened to have my phone in my hand Yeah, okay, okay phone was in my hand, okay, but it wasn't five seconds about 30 seconds It was because I had to scroll through the pictures first and make sure she was

Yes, two two two twenty2 equals 8 in the year 585 our next guest coming to the stage is Dallas born and bred and raised let's give it up yellow beasy doing what you did because for me like all I want to do was make money to get my grandmother get my family out that environment I mean I really didn't think about like 70 80,000 fans cheering for me that wasn't what I really wanted I wanted I wanted the fortune the fame I could have done without but obviously

that's a part of it is it everything that you imagine that when you like in your bed and you thinking about man I'm going on this journey and one day I'm gonna be 60 70 thousand in a in a stadium not arena a stadium Is it everything you thought it would be? Yeah, like it's like a bittersweet feeling cuz like you pray for a lot of stuff and then when you actually live in your dream Bro, like you got to understand like it's a lot of people out here praying to be in your position You know I'm saying it's a lot of people been here praying to be in your position. You know what I'm saying? There's a lot of people been chasing dreams 30, 40 years and they ain't seen no success with it.

So I'm one of them that can actually say that I made it. So every chance that I get, bro, I'm gonna pray about it, I'm gonna thank God and be grateful for everything because, like, there's a lot of people that want to be in my position. Yeah. That's good. What are some of the things that came along with this fame that you came with that you didn't expect? Yeah, for sure.

A lot of hate, a lot of everything. It's one of those situations where it's like damn if you do, damn if you don't. And it's like one of those situations where you gotta just really just, you gotta be built for it because a lot of people, if you're not built for this, success will turn you down too. That's a side to them too. There's a lot of critics if you're not built for this like success success will turn you down too. That's society they don't tell you. There's a lot of critics like they gonna critique everything you do.

They gonna think whatever they think about you know I'm saying if you want to change the narrative you can't but at the same time you got to have tough skin because people gonna hate they gonna be jealous they gonna envy you they gonna just say anything there and if you let it get to you like it'll turn up motherfucking down like you know I'm saying but I ain't never been a type that let it turn me down but I didn't know it was gonna be like so much bullshit like to come along with you know what I'm saying yes yes the funny thing with the bullshit it only happens because of success so now that you have this

success what has continued to inspire and motivate you to continue to want to climb that mountain and ladder in your craft? I just want to shit on motherfuckers who don't think it's still in me. Everybody that hate it, I'm glad y'all hating on me, I'm glad that you feel like you're something sweet because I love proving motherfuckers wrong. I'm here for a reason, you know what I'm saying? God ain't bringing me this far just to turn his back on me So I damn sure ain't finna let no motherfuckers tell me like otherwise, you know Listen you could you you've collaborated With some dope ass major artists.

Now that he think about the names he just named right? like some of the biggest in the world. man what's the process like do you get a phone and be like hey I got something I want to send it to you I want to work with you how does that work? I really think that go off like relationships like you've got to be at the right place at the right time. I tell people all the

time relationships worth more than money. You know what I'm saying? Certain shit you just can't buy. People just gotta wanna fuck with you genuinely. And that's why I get a lot of my features. People be thinking, I know he paid for this, he paid for that, but I don't be paying for nothing. Niggas literally be looking out for me just off the strength, just because of who I am and what type of

genuine soul I have, which is a blessing. You know what I'm saying? I don't be thinking like I'm gonna get it for free just need I fuck with you it would really be fucking me up though you know I'm saying but relationship is being solid having a good face card to take a motherfucker far in life. Our next guest coming out Eric Kendricks tell us about the transition to becoming a cowboy. Crazy. What's it been like? It's different you know football is crazy out here you know I heard about Texas football I'm from California right there's good football out

there but you know football is different in Texas for sure a little bit more you know you know a little bit more pressure yeah yeah for sure play for the Vikings the Seahawks if I'm not mistaken. No my brother played for the Seahawks but I played for the Vikings, the Seahawks, if I'm not mistaken. No, my brother played for the Seahawks. Okay, that's your brother. But I played for the Chargers. Chargers, yeah. You're reunited with Zim.

Right. So how has being reunited with a former coach, because obviously you know this defense, and so you've been able to partake some of the wisdom, the keys of where guys need to be, what Zim is looking for in a particular defense. So tell us about somewhat being a coach on the field. Yeah, you know, I feel like at first, you know,

we're all trying to learn the basics, you know, I mean, obviously I have a little bit of a head start, but everybody's learning the basics, you know, we're trying to get the concepts down. They kind of carry over to different coverages, you know, we can run split coverages, things like that. But, you know, I feel like with Zim's defense is always about like, you know,

the player is taking a little bit of ownership too. you know what I mean? We have to be at work. We're the ones that are quarterbacking it out there. So, you know, at some point, you know, we got to be the one making the calls and checks and be confident in when we're doing so. And I feel like now that's, you know, we obviously we're in camp for a month and stuff like that. But now we're transitioning and we're about to play this first game. And I feel like now we're starting to transition into having that confidence where everybody's kind of like okay we're running this now let's run this now you know so it's been a lot of fun and you know obviously we have a

different pieces than I had in Minnesota but you know the heart of the the heart of the the scheme is the same you know. Listen, Zim was the defensive coordinator at Cincinnati when I was there, so Zim is really cool. He cursed a goddamn lot. He cursed a lot. But what is your expectations, your personal goals for you throughout this season or this upcoming season? Your own personal goals?

My personal goals is to be just the voice that everyone can count on, just the constant communicator, be overdoing my communication to the fact that we're all on the same page. You know, I wanna definitely be the anchor right there. But shoot, you know, I just wanna just keep stacking these years. I feel like, you know, 100 plus, you know, three and something, you know,

I don't wanna get too specific. I write them down and everything like that, but you know, I wanna win a Super Bowl, man. That's why you play. You know, it's cliche, but you know, my brother won one, you know, I got kinda close, but you man. That's why you play. It's cliche, but my brother won one. I got kinda close, but not really. So I wanna get it going. ["The Volume"]
