He'll thank you, and I'll thank you. So appreciate that. Let's jump right into the ballgame, Ocho. The Bucs just handed the Eagles the loss uh 32 to 9 if I'm not mistaken uh I

walked away once they got that last touchdown so I don't think the Eagles I don't think the Eagles scored anymore out of that but uh I remember I foretold this Ocho we go way back now I've been trying to tell you the man them boy playing possum the boy playing play impossible and i also told you i said ocho bradbury ain't it yeah i said ocho bradbury ain't it now are you hating i'm like guys i played the game too long my eyes you know they what they used to be but they not fooling me right right that was that was excuse my language that was piss poor effort on that tackle that was that's like you know what hey we already getting beat we gonna go home let me have fasted the season's over yeah go ahead i was now it it bothers me you know how much it pains me to

to to to have to be critical of players, be critical of one's play, be critical of coaching. From the start, it didn't look right. And obviously I said the team was playing possum, starting 10 and one. You started 10 and one, everything was good. You lost five of the last six, if I'm not mistaken like that. So I was very optimistic. I was looking glass half motherfucking full. You know what? They're going to turn it on when it matters most. Coaching staff, the players, they understand the importance of this game.

Making the playoff after having success early in the season despite injuries. They'll find a way to get it done. A.J. Brown is out. Okay, boom. Devontae Smith is there. They have other players. They have other adequate players that can run the offense and often can still be efficient. But tonight, it seemed like they were damn near outcoached. Forget the play on the field. The play on the field was abysmal. That was atrocious. But the coaching as well, offensively,

we ran the ball. We ran the ball, what, twice? And I'm saying we because I'm an Eagles fan too. We ran the ball twice. We couldn't find a way to run the ball. We couldn't find a way to pass the ball. We had no answer for them, for the Bucs. Defensively, we had no fucking answer. We couldn't stop. We couldn't stop the run.

We couldn't stop Mike Evans. We couldn't stop Baker Mayfield. We couldn't stop no goddamn body at all. Nothing. Everything seemed to work. The first four possessions, the goddamn Bucks had the ball. They got points. On the first four possessions, we were 0-3, 0-3 on third.

What? 0-3 on third down. The tush push didn't goddamn work. Nothing seemed to work tonight. Since when do teams stop the damn tush push? One of the best things we had going. Well, you knew it was going to be a long night. For the past two years.

You knew it was going to be a long night there, though, Cho. The touch push doesn't work. We couldn't stop nothing. We couldn't stop anything short. We couldn't stop anything intermediate. We couldn't stop the deep ball. I don't know what it was. I think we got outcoached.

Not only did we get outcoached on both sides. Hell, fuck that. We got outcoached in all three phases of the game. We couldn't play on the field. It looked like they didn't want to be there. The tackling, we couldn't tackle nobody. What are we doing? This is the playoffs.

If there's a time to show up, this is the game you show up. That's your resume. Everybody ain't going to be there next year what you put on tape tonight come on now you can't do that you got to play if you're not going to play for the Eagles

if you're not going to play for the coaches you got to at least play for the goddamn name on the back of your jersey you got to at least play for the name on the back of your jersey man that was piss poor all the way around offensively, defensively

hell shit those special teams in there, too. And Mike Evans didn't have a great day. Mike Evans dropped a touchdown early. I thought he was going to have a big day. I just knew Mike Evans was going to have a crazy day. I was like, oh, yeah, Baker Mayfield. I want to give Baker Mayfield some credit

because I've beaten Baker Mayfield over the last couple of years, and I think I thought he deserved every criticism that I labeled, that I bestowed upon him. He played extremely well tonight. 22 of 36, 337, three touchdowns. Only the second Bucs quarterback to ever have a 300-yard passing day.

The first is Tom Brady. Give him credit. I thought he did a great job of spreading the ball around. Cade Otten was his leading receiver, had 11 targets, eight catches, 89 yards, and then more. Guys did a great job running after catch because it seemed like the Eagles didn't want it. They thought they were just going to lay down. Okay, I'm going to lean on you a little bit,

and you'll just go to the ground, and they didn't do that. But Gil Baker may feel credit. He played extremely well tonight. Now they go back. I think it's a rematch. I think they played earlier in the year, and Detroit did beat the Bucs earlier go back. I think it's a rematch. I think they played earlier in the year, and Detroit did beat the Bucs earlier in the year, so it's a rematch, but

think about it, Ocho. The NFC East, both teams lose. Cowboys lost yesterday, and it wasn't close. The Eagles lost tonight, and it wasn't close. I mean, what is it about the NFC? What is it about the NFC?

What is it about the NFC and the teams that play phenomenal? You're beating up on bad teams in your division and it doesn't prepare you for the playoffs. You see what happens when you play the Commanders? You see what happens when you play the Giants and you play each other? Now you get into the playoffs and look what happens, Ocho. Boop, boop, boop. Okay, I'm sorry.

See you next year. Yeah, but we playing a 9 plan a nine and eight bucks team. We plan a nine and eight bucks team where the basic fundamentals of football that you learn when you're in Peewee, that you learn when you're in junior high, that you learn when you're in high school, simple tackling, wrapping up effort, having discipline. But they hadn't done that all year. Why did, let me ask you a question. So you expect a team or a player to do something one week that they

hadn't done in 18 weeks. Is that what you're telling the people? Is that what you want to tell our chat? That's not what I'm telling the people. But I'm just saying, listen, let's say if we at the YMCA, right? Yes. And we play 10 games. We play 11 games. And we win 10 of them games, right? Yeah. And we go and we play 10 games. We play 11 games

and we win 10 of them games, right? Yeah. And you understand what you need to do. If you understand you won 10 but it wasn't enough. There are holes

in why we winning. And those holes can get exposed when it matters most. Right. And that's the playoffs. So what do you do when you get to that point?

You know, you motherfucking pin your ears back at your position and you do all you can. The simple stuff, tackling, you learn, you start, you learn that in training camp. Ocho, but you're not, Ocho, you're not. Tackling. You've been telling me. They're not even taking the tackles. But you've been telling them you're not going to do anything different than what you normally do. They haven't been tackling all year. They haven't played good football all year. And when I said you were accepting things and wins, you never would have lost.

They said I was hating. You say we win in the ballgame. And you told me winning cures a lot. So what does it cure? You know, when you're winning you're able to overcome the mistakes and the things that you don't do well

or the things that you're not doing well when you're winning so when you get into the playoffs when it matters most you can't overcome those things you can't even against a 9 and 8 bucks team that played goddamn well tonight. Offensively.

They played well tonight. It seemed like the Eagles didn't even show up. Nine points? Nine points for this offense. Ocho, but here's the thing. Unless you got a very, very mature team and players that really,

really care, it's hard to correct players when you win because they're going to brush you off and say, man, we won. Man, stop. Right. It's when you lose is that you can get their attention because now you see, this is why we lost. We didn't do this. We missed this. We missed that. Okay. We didn't do this on the back end. We didn't do this, we missed this, we missed that okay we didn't do this on the back end we didn't do this right here but when you win you're accepting things

because you're winning that you wouldn't have lost if I didn't take anything away from Mike Shannon in all my years of coaching that was the one thing that I took and it took me a while to understand because I couldn't understand Ocho the man was correcting me and getting on me.

I got eight catches. I got nine, ten catches for a buck 80. Right. And he's telling me this effort right here will cost us a game down the road. I'm like, Mike, I got 10 for a buck 80. I led the league in receiving. I'm a tight end. He said, he said, 84.

That's not good enough. he said he's a day four that's not good enough and once I accepted that then I could see the big picture of what it really took to become a champion and then I could

bestow that now I could talk because I was always able to stand see a lot of people see Ojo here's the thing when I was just having this conversation a little earlier a lot of people talk very few people can speak right now i'm able to speak and tell the guys this is what we need to do this is how we're going to win let's correct the mistakes even though we won let's correct the mistakes. Even though we won, let's correct the mistakes. They're small.

Small things come large things. Yeah. So the Eagles, they never, and all their fans, all they cared about was win, win, win. Cowboys, win, win, win. What couldn't the Eagles do all year, Ocho? Run the football. Run the ball.

And they couldn't run it tonight. They couldn't run it tonight. Well, here, it's very difficult to run on that goddamn that Bucs front line. The Bucs are not an easy team to run on now. They're not an easy team to run on. But then, okay, if you can't run the ball, you still got to establish something. You got to establish some

type of run. They only rushing forward. They only rushing forward and getting pressure every goddamn time. 15 attempts is not enough though, Ocho. 15 attempts is not enough. What you gonna do with 15 attempts? Not much. Not much because

if you want to open up the pass, you ain't got no choice but the run. You got to keep it going. But then you're getting sacked in the backfield. Not only sacked, you're getting pressure when you do drop back. You're going five wide when you try to run it, every time you try to run it. Man, condense the goddamn splits. Go heavy.

Do something. Change it up. You kept doing the same thing over and over and over. You know what the definition of insanity is? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. You understand,

know your personnel, know the team you're playing against. If it's not working with five wide, take that shit out when you need to run the ball. Change the formation. Go double motherfucking tight end. Hell, bring a goddamn fullback

in if you got to. But you're going five wide, you're still trying to run draw, you're trying to stretch. It's not working. Then third down, they bring five way, you're still trying to run draw, you're trying to stretch, it's not working. Then third down, they bring a pressure and you're throwing screen to the flat. I've never seen the motherfucking Bucs

tackle the way they did. They made every goddamn tackle. Every tackle. They're a good tackling team. But here's the thing, Ocho. Okay, you see they're getting pressure. Get out of that scab protection. Why the hell are you in five wide? You can't protect with five linemen. Now you got to go max protect.

You might have to leave a back end. You might have to leave a tight end in and say, okay, we're not going to be able to get five out. We can only get three to four out. Because it doesn't do you no good to empty the backfield if your quarterback's on his back or he's running for his life. I mean, that's simple. I mean, it doesn't make – I mean, it doesn't take a rocket

scientist to figure that out. We can't hold up with scat protection, which is five wide, which is everybody all eligible receivers are out and around. And so basically we got five offensive linemen to protect the quarterback. Okay, we can't hold up against that.

So now we've got to give up one of those wide receivers. We've got to give up one of those, one of those wide receivers. We've got to give that up to go a six man protection. Yeah. It's really that simple, but because, well, this is what we do.

Okay. Now you got all off season to figure out what you need to do next, next year. Right. But that's where you make the adjustments. That's what you make the adjustment of the halftime. Okay. Boom.

Look, we can't run the ball. Okay. All the plays that we do have out of five wide or four or three by one sets, everything is deep. All the route combinations in the scheme,

everything is 12 yards and you don't got no time. You got Jalen. They making Jalen uncomfortable. He has no time to throw. He's already in the gun and running for his life. It's simple.

Change the formation. condense the splits shorten up the routes make it one two three steps, get the ball out of his hands right away, nigga crosses anything, nigga have the short game, work the short game more and more and more

everything they're doing is they're throwing the ball down the field they're trying to run digs. None of it's working. Change it. It seems to me, team is like, okay, let's take away his first read. Get him off his first read, Jalen Hurts.

We're going to get him off his first read and see if he can go two to three. He didn't have no time to go two to three. His first read was number six every time. Okay. That's the only person he could count on. Right. Right.

Well, look, AJ's out now. So now I'm not really worried about... I'm not really worried about... I mean, look, I know Julio's there, but that's not Julio from five years ago. Right. He's not that guy. Goddard couldn't get a rhythm

quiz. Watkins gained well. Zacarias. Come on now. So now, I mean, and you can't run the football. So all this now, okay, Jalen, I hope you brought your cape with you because there ain't no Clark kid. You got to be Superman for the entirety of the game.

And it's all on you because we can't run the football and we need you to be special tonight. Minus your Pro Bowl player in A.J. Brown. Yeah, that's impossible. That's an impossible feat. And we saw this and it's been building up. Sleeve Urkel says the Eaglesagles are one in five since bosa had that eagles blueprint quote nick tried to tear y'all he said it he said we gave teams the

blueprint now i don't know what that means i mean i would have to go back now and look at the tape but it seems like hey we take away your first read we're gonna pressure you we're gonna condense the pocket keep it in the pocket we're not gonna let you just run outside and, you know, keep you up. We're going to keep you away from your dominant hand. If you force you, we're going to force you to your left. Make you throw across your body. Yeah. And we're not going to let you jump out.

We're not going to let you jump out the window on us. But this, I think this is one of the most predictable endings for the Eagles. I think this is predictable. I don't even think Eagles fans thought the season would end any other way based on how the last month and a half of the season went. I don't think they thought it would end any other way than the way it ended tonight. I was hoping I was right, though. I was hoping because of what they were able to do,

even though you're saying they didn't beat any good teams when they were 10-1, but they had so many flaws, so many things, even though they were winning. I really thought, I really thought, because, listen, they ain't too far removed from a Super Bowl now. Yeah. They ain't too far removed from a Super Bowl now.

Yeah. They're a Super Bowl winning team. You get to the playoffs, you know what it takes. Yeah. So I't too far removed from the Super Bowl now. Yeah. They're a Super Bowl winning team. You get to the playoffs, you know what it takes. Yeah. So I'm thinking that team is going to show up. Defensively,

they were amongst the last year. This year, the front line, it hasn't been good. They're not getting the pressures or the sacks that they did last year. I think last year they had damn near 70-something sacks.

This year, they're around 30-something, something like that. Right. And what happened is because the front line is not being good, not good defensively. happened is because the front line is not being good, not good defensively, hell, now the back line is exposed.

Right. Or the back line can't hold up like they want to and allow the front line to get there. But the thing is, Ocho, the mistake that people make, people think like if you scale Mount Everest, you get to say, I scaled it twice. No, you got to go back down to the bottom and scale it again. So whether you went to the Super Bowl and lost or you went to the super bowl and won that ain't got nothing to do with this season you've got to start back at the bottom

just like everybody else and there's no guarantee because you went somewhere last year you're going to be able to get back there this year and i think the eagles thought it was going to be simple well we brought a lot of our key guys back. Man, there's a reason why a whole lot of teams don't repeat. If it was easy, there would be more repeat champions than what we have. Yeah. Very difficult. It is very difficult.

And the crowd shot of Jeffrey Lillard told a story of his night. This finished for the Eagles. The agony of a team that started 10 and won the best record in the league at the time. Finished one in five. His face told you everything. for the Eagles. The agony of a team that started 10-1, the best record in the league at the time, finished 1-5. His face told you everything. Told you everything. I mean, you know, a once promising season. He's probably thinking to himself,

where did we go wrong? What turn did we take that I didn't see? That Howie didn't see? That Sirianni, the head coach, didn't see? What happened that caused this series of events? didn't see that how we didn't see that sirianni the head coach didn't see what right what happened that caused this series of events but you think jaylen hurst is hurt i think i think jaylen hurst is injured i think there's the injury there that he's not talking about that that you can you can you can clearly see based on his play him trying to scrimp him trying to scramble him trying to run it just he he's that he's elusive he can move a little bit i'm not saying he's no michael yeah

i'm not saying lamar jackson but he's been a he's he's has the escapable ability to to elude pressure and it just it doesn't seem like he can move something something is wrong well he didn't he didn't he didn't look this year once he hurt that knee like he looked last year or before he hurt the knee but let's not let's not make that an excuse because there are a lot of guys i'm not making no excuses i'm not making excuses i got you but at the end of the day ojo you know you we got you got to go get it done because all they see all the eagles fans see is one hurts on the back of the jersey. They don't care enough about that knee brace on his knee.

They don't care enough about them dislocated fingers on his throwing hand. Right. They just want results. We want results. They just want results. And they didn't get the results the last month and a half of the season. They didn't get the results they wanted in the regular season, and they didn't get it tonight and therefore their season is over so uh uh a very a very very disappointing season for the eagles considering

how it started but this is not the finish that they uh that they wanted or they hoped for but you know campbell played really really well tonight like i said baker mayfield was unbelievable uh white ran the football well. They were over 100 yards rushing. Baker threw the ball with accuracy, with conviction. Guys made plays. Godwin came with a bomb blitz. Godwin located

the ball. Maddox didn't. Moore, great run after catch. Palmer, great run after catch. And that's what happened. So give Tampa credit. Give Baker Mayfield credit. Give the team the defense got after. Jalen Hurts did a great job of tackling.

And they're moving on to face the Detroit Lions next week. Yeah, that's going to be a good one. In Detroit. Yes. In Detroit. Yes, yes. That's going to be a good one. The earlier game, the Bills beat the Steelers 31-17.

There's the Josh Allen. That Josh Allen there can represent the AFC. Oh, yeah. When he doesn't turn the ball over. And that's the – see, the thing is, it's not like – it's not like, you know, look, turnovers happen. But for him, they seem to come in bunches because he'll turn one and before the blink of an eye, it's three. Three, yeah.

At the wrong time, too. At the wrong time. He's taking points off the board because he's throwing interceptions in his own end zone. Yeah. When you're about to, you're going to get three at worst case scenario. But they played well today. Josh Allen, that was a spectacular 50-yard run.

George Pickens rips the refs after the game, saying, refs, refs, refs. That's the only thing on my mind. You're not going to win a game when you have to beat the Bills and the refs. That's what I really feel happened to us today. The refs, I guess the refs made him's what I really feel happened yesterday. The ref, I guess the ref made him fumble. He did, you know. Yeah, I think he's more so talking about

that holding call, too. There was a third down. It might have been fourth down. It might have been fourth down on the slant route. Yeah, on the slant route. He felt he was held a little bit on there. Didn't he drop a TD catch? He dropped it? I don't know.

I'm asking you. I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just asking. I mean, I ain't see the game. I mean, my TV was freezing up and sometimes I had to come downstairs

to rewind. So you tell me. I ain't see that play. I was on my flight. And, you know, the Wi-Fi, the bandwidth on Spirit, it wasn't that good. But I had my Wi-Fi working, so the game was going in and out. Did he drop one? No, I'm not even playing.

I'm dead serious. I'm dead serious. Because my flight left Miami at 3.30. So I actually was on the flight. Ask the chat. Hey, chat, what y'all think? Let me look at the chat real quick Did he really drop it

Or it got tipped or some shit? Like for real But give the Let's get to this game Let me get the stats pulled up here For you right quick Oh Joe Oh Let me get the stats pulled up here for you right quick. Oh, Joe. Save on travel.

Oh. But still, I mean, the Steelers hung around. I mean, Mason Rudolph didn't play bad. 22-39, 229, two touchdowns. He had an interception in the end zone. The guy ran a great, I mean, undercut the route, made a heck of a play. That was a heck of a play the DB madecut the route, made a heck of a play. That was a heck of a play

the DB made. Man, that was a heck of a play. Listen, the Steelers fought back though. They, they show, they show want to,

they show fight as opposed to what we saw from the Eagles. They were down, listen, down 21 zip, you know. Let me ask you a question.

I mean, what's your chance saying? Look at your chance. See if he dropped that ball. Dropped. Yeah, he dropped it. Dropped it. Dro see it. Look at your chance to see if he dropped that ball. Dropped. Yeah, he dropped it. Dropped it. Dropped it. He dropped that bitch. Damn.

Honestly, I'm not even playing around. I was in flight. So the game, the bandwidth on Spirit was a little weak. So the game kept freezing. Then it come on. Then it freeze and it come on. So it was very difficult to watch. What you talking about, the mariachi band? Huh?

You talking about the mariachi band? Because I know you ain't got no broadband on Spirit. No, no, no. My Fubo app. My Fubo app to watch the game. My flight left Miami at 3.30 to get here to Philly. So when the game started, I was still in the air. Okay.

Yeah, but look, the Steelers, I mean, considering what the Steelers, I mean, the Steelers was meddling around and then all of a sudden they make enough plays at the end of the season end up making it to the playoffs. I think they got as much out of this season as they could possibly hope

given the inconsistent quarterback play More than expected. More than expected, actually. Yeah, actually. Yeah, yeah. Between Pickett and Trubisky, and it took Mason Rudolph coming in and playing extremely well. Give them credit.

I mean, they did what I thought they would do. I didn't think they could go to Buffalo and win that ball game. But they had a chance. Maybe a play here or there. Maybe if Rudolph doesn't throw that interception because the game is really close, and then all of a sudden he turns the ball over in the end zone. But Josh Allen was really good today, 21 of 30, 203, three touchdowns, a clean game.

James Cook, 18 carries, 79 yards. Josh Allen, eight carries, 74 yards. Johnson, eight carries carries 26 yards. So when you run the ball like they ran the ball today, it's going to be tough to beat them because now they're going to play action off of that. Now, look, it's hard to account for Josh Allen's

because, I mean, he can scramble. I mean, that's what he can keep the drive. He can keep the drive a lot. I mean, perfect coverage. We got everybody deed up and then he can take off running and he's going to get a first down lot. Perfect coverage. We got everybody D'd up, and then he can take off running, and he's going to get a first down like he got today. So it's hard. I mean, it's hard

to play mobile quarterbacks, and especially when everything's on the line, guys aren't sliding. I mean, you saw Mahomes on Saturday night scramble and get extra yards. We saw Josh Allen today. Go ahead. do you see how players a little bit cautious too you see how players the defenders are a little bit cautious and not

knowing whether the quarterback is going to slide or not right oh should i hit him should i not because of the way the rules are because you don't want to you don't want to get a flag right so everybody being a little hesitant that josh allen the josh, Josh Allen run. Okay. Dude, thudded him up. Didn't even wrap him. He bounced right off. Yes.

He bounced right off. Yeah. A, a, a, a six, a six, five, two 50.

Well, if they throw a flag, they throw a flag. You got to hit him, boy. Boy, I'm trying to knock the stuffing out of it. You got to,

you got to hit him. Exactly. And if you don't, if you don't hit him, you got to wrap him up. Yep. Is he going to bounce right off of you? He's going to bounce right off it. So we get the matchup that we thought we get. Kansas City going to Buffalo.

We know what the playoffs have been for those two teams. Kansas City knocked Buffalo out of the playoffs two years ago and a year, three years ago. Buffalo is going to want to get their revenge back. I think it's going to be a really really good ball game. The Texans on the road. Lamar Jackson gets an opportunity to see C.J. Stroud up close. C.J. Stroud gets an opportunity

to see Lamar Jackson up close. It's the first time that we've seen the Ravens starters in about three weeks. So I'm excited to see how this game unfolds. I know they're anxious. I know Baltimore fans are going to be chomping at the bit because they've waited a long time to be back in this position. Get back into the playoffs.

We're healthy. Everybody's healthy, if I'm not mistaken. They designated Mark Andrews for return. Already? I thought, look, and this is no slight on Mark Andrews for return. Already? I thought, look, and this is no slight on Mark Andrews, but I thought his injury really opened up the offense and it forced Lamar Jackson not

to be dependent because Mark Andrews wasn't there. So now Zay Flowers, now all the OBJ, Lively, all those guys, excuse me, Likely, got to get some opportunities where he was so dependent on Mark Andrews, he could know he had Mr. Reliable, but it forced him to go elsewhere with the football,

and I thought it made him more of a complete, more of the complete quarterback, and it helped this offense. And so it's going to be very interesting to see if he's up this week or maybe they wait another week, and if possible, we probably try to hold him off until the Super Bowl if they're able to make it that far. Likely got the hot hand right now too, man. He's playing extremely well. He's playing extremely well.

Do you really want to sit him down just because Andrews is coming back? I understand Andrews is a starter. Yeah, for sure. He's the one, you know, making the money. You know how that go. Money always got to play. Money always got to play, but man, Likely is hot right now, man. man oh he's playing extremely well he's played extremely well he's playing extremely well uh but you know you can never have too many good players on the field

at once right and if you know our mark andrews can come back and he can protect himself and he can do the things that he normally could do prior to this injury i don't see why you wouldn't have him up but it's going to be very interesting. I'm anxious to see, I'm anxious to see Lamar back in the playoffs again. I know he's anxious. There's a pressure, a pressure pack situation.

He's going to be the MVP. He's going to be the MVP for the second time in his career. Yeah. And the first time 2019, he was the number one seed. The Tennessee Titans. The thing, I don't know if you noticed this, but if you notice, when teams are at home,

when they get off to great starts, boy, it's hard to hold them down. Dallas got off to that slow start. Everybody else did the playoff pretty, got off to a pretty neat start. You look at the Lions got off to a nice start. The Bucs got off to that slow start everybody else did the playoff pretty got up to a pretty neat start you look at the Lions got up to a nice start the Bucks got up to a nice start the Texans just whoo off the gate

out the gate first play of the goddamn game it set the tone set the tone so damn I'm mad about my Eagles man damn man the Chiefs on the the Chiefs on the road because you know

Kadarius Tony lined up offside come on you ain't had to bring that up man that's it you ain't had to do that it would have been interesting it would have been interesting to see because that would have given Kansas City the lead,

but Buffalo still had enough time. I mean, but they didn't have much time. They've been like 20-something, what, 30-something seconds? So they'd have had to go down the field. I mean, but Josh Allen is more than capable, more than capable of getting down the field in that length of time and kicking a field goal. But all is lost.

Kansas City is going on the road. For the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career. He's playing a game away from Arrowhead. He's playing a game away from Arrowhead. That's going to be a good game, boy. I don't think the weather is not going to be as bad as it

was this go-round. We're going to have clear skies. No excuses. It's going to be a little nippy-o, but no excuses. Yeah. Play ball. Look, the weather shouldn't impact either quarterback. Both of them got strong arms.

Both of them can throw the ball through the, you know, from sideline to sideline, you know, from hash to sideline. So the weather shouldn't inclement weather. Now, I mean, obviously, Ochoa, the winds start gusting 30, 40 miles an hour, but that's a different fact. That's a problem. But you're talking about five, you know, five, 10 mile an hour winds and cold. It shouldn't have an impact on the ball other than not them

throwing it. Maybe them catching, maybe catching football in that situation. So we'll see. I'm anxious like you are. There was 125 left in the ballgame, so there's more than enough time for Buffalo to go down the field and get a touchdown or who knows, maybe even a field goal

just to win it. Mike Tomlin walks off the podium. Reporter had a question. Mike, you have one year left on your contract. Mike Depp. I mean, as a journalist, why are we not talking about the game?

Why are we not talking about the game? Why are we not talking about the loss? They had already talked about that. They had already talked about that. So I guess you could wind down, hey, Mike, you got one year left on your contract. Mike just said, I'm not going to even entertain that. Yeah. Okay. Okay.

I mean, rightfully so. If you've already covered the game and everything else and you got the answers you want to, then I guess asking that and about his future is okay. But the timing of it, though, the timing of it, God damn, we just lost. You talk about contracting money already.

I don't know. I guess they have a job to do. They do. That's why they do what they do. They have a job to do. Right. I don't want to say it's unethical, but come on now. There's a time and place. There's a job to do. Right. It's just, I don't want to say it's unethical, but come on now.

There's a time and place. Well, there's a time and place. Well, the time was there. The place was there because I got him at the podium. It's not like I can call him on the phone and say,

hey, Mike, what's going on with your contract? Because here's the thing, Ocho, if five, 15 reporters, there's only so many ways. Okay, Mike,

what happened in the ball game? Blah, blah, blah. Okay, hey, Mike, you know, you had this situation and this down in distance, and what were your thought process in this? Well, Mike, you had an opportunity. You had a good play call.

You got a holding call. So after 10 different guys, okay, let me go somewhere. Let me take, let me throw this out there. He might answer. Yeah, but you know what? I think if you dress it up a little different, hey, let's not address the contract and the money that's left.

Let's address just your future in general. Do you feel you're still going to be here? Mike, how do you feel about going into next year? Yeah, that's a better way. But as soon as you bring up money and a coach and like, come on, man. Why are you in my pockets now? Well, the Steelers hadn't fired a coach in 50 years.

Do you think Mike shouldn't be fired? No, I don't think he's going to be fired. I mean, he made the playoffs. No, I don't think he's going to be fired. The foul was announced. Go ahead. Go ahead. You want to add something to that?

No, I was just going to say, what he had to work with, with the quarterback carousel and, you know, the, what's the word? The inconsistent play that he had to deal with and making the playoffs. I mean, that says a lot. It says a lot. Yeah.

What do you think is the most desirable landing spot for Coach Belichick? And there are reports that they're interested in trading the eighth overall pick for Justin Fields. I think that'd be good. That'd be good.

I think that Mr. Is it Arthur Smith? Arthur Blank. Not Arthur Smith. Arthur Blank. Arthur Blank. I got my names wrong. He is one that will allow Bill to do what he needs to do,

to do his due diligence as a GM, as a coach, and building a team that he needs to. Listen, with Bill coming in, if you get Justin Fields, boom, that's one centerpiece out the way. Then look at what he has to work with. You got B. John Robinson. You got Drake London. You have Kyle Pitts. You got Cordell Patterson. You have some great

DBs that I like. I love A.J. Terrell. I love A.J. Terrell and the Young Bull. What's the Young Bull name? Jesse Bates. They got him from you guys. Jesse Bates is there. Isn't Jeff Okuda on the other side of A.J. Terrell and the Young Bull. What's the Young Bull name? Jesse Bates. They got him from you guys. Jesse Bates is there. And isn't Jeff Okuda on the other side of A.J. Terrell? Or am I tripping? He might be.

But I think he got injured. Yeah, I think I heard. But I mean, I like that combo. I like that combo. But that'd be dope. That'd be dope. I think that'd be a great landing spot for Bill. Because that's somewhere where he can take control

and handle the team and do the things he wants to do to build a winning team. Yeah. Or a team that can be consistent, especially in that division, because that division wasn't very good. No. It wasn't very good at all.

No. And if the Falcons were to trade for Justin Fields, trade the eighth overall pick, Chicago would then have the first overall pick, the eighth, and the ninth overall picks. Yeah. Ooh, that's nasty. So they're taking Caleb Williams off the board, number one, Bears, right? I believe they would. I believe they would. I believe they would.

Me personally. Because they don't have a choice. If Justin Fields goes to... That's my point. They don't have a choice. If you trade a quarterback, you damn sure taking one. Yeah, you got to.

You got to. So that's a no-brainer. Now, Caleb Williams, Drake May. Caleb Williams. Okay. Come on now. But I think what you're trying to get at is that where they're going to go with the ninth.

Do they move the eighth pick and maybe a second round pick to try to move back up to get in position to take Marvin Harrison? Or junior, excuse me. Or do they need to move eight and nine to move back up into the top five to get him? You have to.

I don't think Marvin Harrison get past three. Hell, he might not even get past two. But Marvin Harrison is like that. Marvin Harrison Jr. is like that. We talk about a player coming in, playing right now, changing your franchise, changing your offense, changing the dynamic of your offense right now. Off rip.

Same thing with Jamar Chase. Same thing with Justin Jefferson. You know, players that come in and is ready to play right now. Marvin Harrison might not go past too. I like Drake May. I think they pumped Drake May up just a tad too much.

I don't think he's going to come in and do what a goddamn C.J. Stroud has done or do what a Jordan Love has done. You know, make an immediate impact even though Jordan Love had to sit behind Aaron Rodgers. Nah. Well, right now, mock drafts have Caleb Williams going

one overall to Chicago. Drake May going two to Washington. Jaden Daniels going three to the Patriots. Marvin Harrison Jr. going four to the Cardinals. Brock Bowers, tight end, all-world tight end, going to the Chargers. And Malik Neighbors, the wide receiver, going six to the Giants.

I don't, you know, they always take quarterbacks first. Goddamn, Jayden Daniels and, and, and DC going to be nice. You said the red, the Redskins. Oh,

I'm sorry. My bad. My bad. I apologize. The commanders pick third, right? The commanders pick second. Drake may would,

the mock draft that this is just a mock. Drake may would go second overall to the commanders. Jayden Daniels would go third overall to the Commanders. Jaden Daniels would go third overall to the Patriots. And Marvin Harrison Jr. would go fourth overall to the Cardinals. I would flip that. I would flip that. I would think Drake May would probably go third. And Jaden Daniels would end up in D.C.

I can see that. I can see that. I mean, I still don't see I don't see how to get past Omar Harris and Julia man You think Washington is going to take back to back Carolina quarterbacks Because they took Sam Howell a couple years ago

And then there's Drake May That's why I flipped it Wait wait The Redskins picked before the Patriots, right? Yes. Yeah. I think they take Jaden Daniels and Drake May goes to the Patriots. Goes to the Patriots. Yeah.

It's going to be very, very interesting. That's a decision that you look at C.J. Stroud, the Houston Texans, and say, well, we're going to take whoever you don't want we're not moving, we're going to sit right here so if you take Bryce Young

we're going to take C.J. if you take C.J. we're going to take Bryce Young and it just so happens Carolina took Bryce Young and C.J. was on the board, we took C.J. we ain't look back, we live happily ever after and then look at what we and they still got Cleveland's first round pick for the Deshaun.

Let that sink in for just a second. Yeah. I mean, when you look at, they got, they got Anderson Jr. They got him in the Deshaun trade. They got Nico Collins in the Deshaun trade. They about to get another top flight player into Des the Sean trade. They got Nico Collins into the Sean trade. They about to get another top flight player into the Sean trade. They made out like bandits. Yeah.

Sure. They made out like bandits with no, with no ski mask. And that's what you're, that's what you're supposed to do. If you give up one of these, it's, it's supposed to be,

it's the Herschel Walker. Cowboys got over. Yeah. They got in. They ended up getting Russell Maryland, got Darren Wood. They built a Super Bowl team thanks to the Hershel Walker trade. Walker trade, right.

You see, they've already built a division winner with the Deshaun trade. Right. And this thing could get even stronger because they got another, they got another, get Cleveland's first round pick this year. Mm-hmm. So I love what the Houston Texans are doing. I love CJ Stroud to where they're playing.

It's going to be very, very interesting to see what they do moving forward but on this draft right here they have Dallas Turner the edge rusher from Alabama going to the Falcons if they don't if they don't move if they don't obviously if they don't move the pick if they move the pick who knows

what what Chicago would do with it. But right now they have Dallas Turner, Edge, Rome, Agunzi, the wide receiver from Washington. Right now, if everybody stayed packed, going number nine to Chicago, Joe Ott, old tackle from Notre Dame going 10 to the Jets, and Michael Penix Jr. going 11

to Washington no he's going Minnesota the quarterback from Washington right going to Minnesota and Latutu Latui how you say that name he must be Samoa

yeah man Latu I know the last name is Latu How you say that name? He must be Samoa. He's Samoa, huh? Yeah, yeah, man. Latu. I know the last name is Latu. Latu? Latu. But he's an edge rusher from UCLA. They got him going 12 to the Broncos. We have 47,000 in the chat.

Come on, do that for you. Eagles fans, I apologize. I thought they was playing positive. Nah, Eagles fans, y'all should make the Eagles apologize for getting y'all hopes up like that. Eagles fans, I was optimistic. I was optimistic, but I'm with you. Fly, Eagles, fly, baby.

Dolph, Excuse me. Dolphins. La-ah-too La-ah-too. La-ah-too. That's a lot of L's. Can you say Giannis

last name? Antetokounmpo? Okay, okay, okay, okay. Most people just say Greek freak, but it's Giannis Antetokounmpo. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Most people just say Greek freak, but it's Giannis Antetokounmpo. I say Greek dude. Antetokounmpo. Okay. Dolphins GM Chris Greer says the goal is to have Tua with the fans long term.

Do you believe Ochocinco, Miami native, Liberty City, do you believe that's the right move long term for the Dolphins? I mean, yeah, there's no other choice. Now, if there were options, if there were options that we could have for Tua, oh no, if

there were options for us at the quarterback position, then, okay, it's a question. Is there a trade or something of some value somewhere else? But no, there's not. What Tua was able to do, he is worthy of an extension. The supporting cast that Tua has around him, they have matured together.

They have chemistry. And I think they're going to be all right. He is the future for the Dolphins right now. He's not Patrick Mahomes. You know, he's not Josh Allen. But in the system that he's in under Mike McDaniels with Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, A-Tan and Mostert, he's extremely well and an adequate quarterback to get them where they need to be. Yeah.

Oh, Troy. I mean, what hurts is they had a three game lead with five games to play. Yeah. And they had three straight losses. They lose to the Ravens. They lose to the Bills. They lose to the Chiefs. They got outscored in those games. One hundred to the Ravens. They lose to the Bills. They lose to the Chiefs. They got outscored in those games

103-40. They're 1-6 versus playoff teams or teams with a winning record. It's the 11th straight franchise losses in temp 40 or below. No playoffs win since 2000.

That's not all on tour. But, since 2000. That's not all on tour. No. But, Ocho, with a three game lead with five games to play, Ocho,

you got to get us home. Yeah. You got to get us home, Ocho. You got to get us home. You got to. You got to, but again, in those games,

those games you talking about, that Bills game, that Chiefs game, listen, that Ravens game, you talk about? That Bills game? That Chiefs game? Listen, that Ravens game? You talking about making a motherfucker uncomfortable and having him running for his life? It's different, man. It's different.

There are certain teams you're going to play that are going to make things that you do well extremely difficult. And the Raven defense is one of them. The Chiefs defense is one of them. Did you see Ladarius Sneed the other night? Yeah. I mentioned that the first time they played.

One of the few people that I said that does extremely well when you're playing Tyreek. And he plays aggressive. At the point of attack, he initiates everything first instead of it being the opposite way. It's different. Getting Tua off the spot.

Yeah. Not allowing him to get in rhythm. Right. Just messing up everything. Yeah, I take it away, first read. You know, you got to be careful. Like, when they send Tyreek in motion and they expand, they're looking to try to get the ball to Tyreek deep.

They, I think it was Duffy. Duffy didn't do a great job of, of, of locating the football. Tyreek made a great play on the, made a great play on the ball. They ended up scoring a touchdown on that. But other than that,

I thought they, they, Spagnolo did a great job of, of scheming, diagramming, pressuring him just enough to get him uncomfortable, get him off his spot because he's not the most accurate throw of the football on the move.

He likes it to be ideal, likes to play in that phone booth. And Spag did a great job of getting him off that spot. But he needs lanes because he's not a Josh Allen. He's not 6'3", 6'5", that he can see over the linemen. He needs lanes in order to throw the ball through. Can throw a nice deep ball. But normally what you try to do is I try to get him off his spot early. I try to rattle him early.

I don't want him to get comfortable. I don't want him to get settled in. And then we're going to play football from there. But you're probably right. Excuse me, Ochoa. You're probably right considering that what's available at the quarterback position and considering teams aren't trying to give up those guys because they realize how hard it is to get them and they're not in position because they're

at the bottom of the draft you're not in position to draft one of these guys that probably have a high grade on them so you're probably you're probably going to have to deal with you have to have two or at least two to three more years yeah most definitely unless you find a gym I mean unless you find you know a Brock Purdy yeah something like that yeah

yeah you never know that's a huge gamble there oh man we just go get a quarterback you know hey we just have him around you know yeah Tom Brady. Oh, man, we just going to get a quarterback. You know, hey, we just have him around. You know, blah. Hold on. Yeah.

Hey, listen. And you know he's special or he's going to be something is when he's slicing up your defense and scout team. Yeah. Yeah. That's how it all starts. He's slicing up your defense and scout team. And then when the bright light's hitting, you get the opportunity. Hey, you know that Wally Pipp story.

Is it Wally Pipp? Is that Wally Pipp? You know the story. Somebody get hurt, but you never get your job back. Yep, that's why you think the quarterbacks don't want the other guy to take a snap. Brady wasn't trying to, once Brady got that job, he wasn't trying to let nobody, he didn't want Bill Belichick to see anybody

else because he understood how he got the job. Peyton Manning was even taking Neal down. The guys, hey, they're like no, bro. Uh-uh. Right. Mm-mm. Hey, you better get your scout team or something like that, but you're not going to get no reps in the game. No meaningful reps.

Reps, right. But the Dolphins, look, the Dolphins had a lot of injuries on the defensive side. And I understand not being able to put the pressure on Patrick Mahomes that they would have liked with Chubb being out, Jalen Phillips being out, Xavier Howard being out. And they're going to have to make some decision because, you know, Achilles, that's a serious injury.

Very hard to come back from, especially the first year. Because that first year is normally like that's the rehab. That's the rehab. Your Ocho is normally once you're one year removed. So you excuse me the second year. Now you're back to yourself. Chubb is going to be coming back from an ACL. Probably going to have to have a brace. Now the fluidity, being able to drop and bend, they're not going to be there

like it was maybe after the first year. The second year. So they got some decisions they got to make, but that don't explain they only scored seven points. I get the defensive side giving up 26 points to Mahomes. Okay, fine. They held in there as long as they could.

But what they got to do with my home scoring seven? Yeah. That's the same thing. Man, the Cowboys defense, the Cowboys defense, you're absolutely right. The Cowboys defense sunk. But, you know, Dak was allowed to get 48 points too. The score at one point was 48 to 16. You know,

like when, when, when the Packers score, you know, Dak's allowed to score too. Yeah. This ain't no make it, take it in basketball.

When you growing up, we play, make it, take it. As long as I keep making it, I keep taking it. Yeah. No,

you, you, you score touchdown. What you got to do? Kick it off. You got, you got to answer. Okay.

You got to answer. But I mean, listen, that Cowboy game, they was off rhythm, man. Off the jump. Off the jump. It just wasn't clicking. No, Green Bay's offense was in rhythm. Six in their first seven possessions,

they got touchdowns. Yeah. They got tubs. Man, do you know how hard that is to do? Let alone in a playoff game. I'm talking about a regular season game. On the road. Yes.

Like that. Yes. You're supposed to be at a disadvantage. I told you that's what happens when you got all them young boys out there. Ain't no pressure. They don't know it. Ain't no pressure. Listen, we out here just playing football.

We not even supposed to be here. Yeah. We ain't supposed to be here. But we just out there having fun. Mm-hmm. Happy MLK Day. supposed to be here yeah we ain't supposed to be here but we just out there having fun happy mlk day uh hopefully you guys got an opportunity uh i don't know how many people had to work maybe you had it off unfortunately i was one of those guys that had to go to work today uh but i did take a moment to think and i understand being i have a minor degree in history understand the significance of dr king and what what he meant to a lot of people,

not just people of color, but people that society didn't seem to see or seem to have forgotten. And I think sometimes we don't realize what this makes because see he played the ultimate sacrifice it's one thing to say well you know I picketed

and I boycotted and I did all that but to play the ultimate price the ultimate sacrifice is your life and that's what he gave up and at the time that he was doing it, he was not very popular, even in the African-American community. The same thing with Muhammad Ali, because Muhammad Ali refused to go to the draft. He says, you know, I can be a Kong and call me no N word. The Viet Congs ain't spraying water holes.

They're turning the dogs on me. I ain't going over there to kill them. Is there my people right here in the street that's suffering. But a lot of times we don't realize sometimes we don't realize the sacrifice and how special a person is

until years and years and years later. And then you realize like, man. Because think about it. We were talking about we were talking about it we were talking about we were talking about what were we talking about the salaries and how you know

hey we need to band together and bro and he wasn't doing this for no lot of money especially not back then there wasn't no money at all maybe some speaking engagements here or there, but to have the water holes, he got stabbed, he got beat,

he got the dogs turned on him, he got put in jail. So I just hope that people realize what he did, the sacrifices that he and many, many others, not just him, and many, many others that paid the ultimate sacrifice. So Shannon Sharp and Ocho Cinco and a lot of others get an opportunity that they probably would not have enjoyed had he not paid the ultimate sacrifice. So, Dr. King, I want to thank you, his wife, Miss Coretta King, Bernice. I know the daughter, her and I used to text back and forth

thank you for the sacrifices that your family made for us, thank you and that fight, we still got a long way to go now, for sure, we got a long way to go, even this late if you think about it, it's somewhat masked a little bit more as opposed to

as opposed to being at the forefront as it was when Dr. King was marching and preaching. But that same stuff he was talking about and fighting for back then is still prevalent today. Yeah. It's still prevalent today. Again, those that are in positions of power, they don't wear the robes. They don't wear the right robes no more. They don't. Now they're in positions of power.

Sometimes they're judged. Sometimes they're in robes. Sometimes they're police officers. I can go on and on about that, but I don't want to make this a political thing. But the fight, we got a long way to go, man. We got a long way to go. You know, Ocho, this is, and I said this about a month ago,

if you're not careful, you need to look around and realize that this is the first generation that's starting to take things away from you. Because they gave it to us in the 60s in bits and pieces. They gave us civil rights. They gave us

voting. That was in the 70s, 73. And then they gave us voting rights in 65, 66. They gave us fair housing. They started giving us things, but incrementally. Now, look at what they're trying to do. They're trying to

take it back piece by piece trying oh they taking it back now piece by piece and before you know like oh you're fighting over here and it's like oh they take it Roe v. Wade what Roe v. Wade all the while they got another group

over here trying to take these voting rights and diversity now you see they sued, okay, these companies that had these diversity. Now we suing because there shouldn't be diversity. Yeah. So come on, come on, Gen Z. And what about school? History lessons, what you're allowed to teach now?

They're erasing what we're allowed to teach the kids based on they're trying to erase history in general. Oh, yeah. Slavery and this that happened. You know what? Come on now. We know what slavery was. There was no volunteer. There was no compensation.

Yeah. So, we understand. I like to call it psychological warfare that's all it is, it's mind games if you control the mind of the masses, you can control

everybody at once so if you take away the lessons in the history then you're able to control the narrative on what we're to believe moving forward, because there will be a generation and two generations that won't know what actually happened what actually happened bingo oh mac boy what do you do uncle ocho love the podcast question what do you think the bigger collapse cowboys losing in the first round with home field

advantage or the eagles squandering a 10-1 record? What's the biggest collapse? You know what? The Eagles have gotten to a Super Bowl. The Eagles have gotten to a Super Bowl. They've shown they can do it. Obviously, starting 10-1 and obviously the collapse of losing six of the last five. Excuse me.

Five of the last six. Me being very optimistic optimistic thinking that things would change but obviously it didn't i think the bigger collapse is the cowboys because they had so much to stake every year is their year every year is their year the owner is always at the forefront saying i forgot what game it was when they beat the redskins this is the best i've felt since we won the super bowl in 1995. you could you really, the commanders, is that what we're doing? Saying some of the stuff that he said. And hell, he had me believing that this was their year.

And I thought that. And I think the bigger collapse would probably be the Cowboys and losing like that at home. Having that advantage. Playing at home, you're supposed to have an advantage. having an advantage, playing at home, you're supposed to have an advantage, and just seeing them get steamrolled like that so early from jump off the rip and really not having any fight. The score at the end of the game made it seem like the game was closer than what it really was.

It wasn't. It wasn't. You know what O Ochoa? I mean, to be dead honest, this is the ending that I expected for both teams. And I told you this. Right. Because I had seen what the Cowboys had done. I had seen it the previous 25 years.

I mean, I remember they had 10 pro bowlers. Look at all the all pros they got. Their left tackle is an all pro. Their left guard is an all pro. Their wide receiver is a first team all pro. Dak Prescott is an all pro. Their right guard is an all pro. Their left corner, Blaine, is an all pro.

We've seen this before. Yeah. So why – you said, and Sandy is doing something over and over and hoping for a different result. We've seen the Cowboys go 12-5 and lose in the first round. We've seen them go 13-3 and lose their first playoff game with home field advantage. So I'm just trying to figure out what was the difference.

And when I look at the Eagles and once the tide started to turn, who thought they was going to be able to fix this in the playoff? It don't work like that. You got to remember the Eagles and the Cowboys had two quarterbacks that were in the MVP conversation. Yes, they were in the MVP conversation. So that also leads you to believe, led me to believe and also other fans, fans of both teams that, you know what? We're going to be in contention come goddamn late December, January. Now, I just watching the Eagles and looking at them play and seeing the things like i said

the untrained i can't see what you and i can see because they didn't play in the intricacies of when you look at and you analyze a play on offense or defense and what's going on i was always hesitant about them but just based on the Cowboys and looking at their inability to run the football, their inability to stop the run caused me some concern. And I've always felt the true

is like, oh, the Cowboys are good offense, they're good defense. Well, can you get done what you need to get done when you absolutely have to? When they needed to run the football, they still couldn't run it. When they needed to stop the run, they couldn't. When they needed to get pressure on Jordan Love, they couldn't. And we have saw this in the regular season when they played Brock Purdy,

when they played the 49ers, when they played the Cardinals, when they played the Dolphins, when they played the Bills. You can see things if you're looking. Now, if you just want to say, oh, he scored a touchdown. I won my fantasy. I won my parlay. Well, OK, you're going to just be happy with that.

But that's not that's not how I watch the game, Mocho. I'm not looking. I don't care about no parlay. I don't care about no fantasy. I'm trying. I'm looking to see. That's unsound. That's not a smart way to play football.

And you could see things that were happening, especially with the Eagles and the Cowboys, that was going to cause them some problems. So I'm not surprised. But I would probably say 10-1 and losing 5-6. So basically you lost 6-7. You didn't lose 5, you lost 6-7 because you lost your first round of the playoff game also.

So you went from having a number one seed to number two seed to number three seed to number four seed to being a wild card to being out in a matter of a month and a half. That's tough, man.

So for me, I would say it would be as cataclysmic as everybody think the earth is falling, the sky is falling with the Cowboys losing. For me, it would be the Eagles. The Eagles? They lost six or seven games. Right. So.

Damn. This is the second collapse of the Eagles after a Super Bowl. Do you think they have organizational issues? There's speculation that Harry Roseman purposely hires inexperienced coaches he can control. No, I don't think that's the case. I mean, guys, it's hard to repeat. See, the Patriots got you spoiled because Tom was in this situation every day of the year, and you think everybody does that.

No. It's difficult, man. It is. It's very difficult. First of all, it's difficult to win in the NFL. Period. Week to week. Now you're talking about championships, not to win playoff games consistently year in and year out. That takes a toll.

And it's not easy. So, no, I don't think, honestly, Snake, I don't think that's the issue. I don't think Howie purposely hires inexperienced coaches. I think he just, you know, you have to have a guy that you have a rapport with. You have to have somebody that you believe that you can work with you can build a championship caliber team with and you know there has to be you know mr lori howie the coach and you know it has to work it

has to work any relationship sometimes the most beautiful woman you already know ocho there ain't no way this is gonna work because of her personality and my personality. Yes, she's gorgeous. She has a degree from Duke. Oh, my gosh. But you just know from talking and the way

she's wired, the way you're wired, that y'all not going to work long term. And that's okay. But you've got to think, and Howie Roseman has to think, how not going to work long term. And that's okay. But you got to think and Howie Roseman have to think, how does this thing work long term? We can't get in here, you know, a higher coach

give a five-year deal and six months in, we already fighting. Right. So I don't think that decays. Faith. Hi. Faith. Hi, Faith. I like to wish my Saras an Alpha Kappa Alpha

sorority a happy 116th Founders Day. If either of you could join the Divine Nine, which fraternity would you choose and why? Me-fi-me. Me-fi-me? Me-fi-me? Yeah. That's real? And why? MeFyMe. MeFyMe?

Yeah. That's real? I'm all about MeFyMe. I love me some meat. Oh, man. You got me thinking you talking about a real fraternity dude, man. I was a member of T5T. Anybody that went to Savannah State, I know y'all in the chat.

They better tell them about T5. T5. What color they wear? Orange and white. Okay. And we ran the yard. If I was a pledge, what would I be? I don't even know what I'd be.

What would I be? If I had to pledge... What would I be if I did pledge? That's a good one probably I would say you would probably be

a sigma or a kappa sigma blue and white and white right okay and the Kappa is the one that do the do the yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I like that I'm gonna be a I'm gonna be a Kappa cuz I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying to with the cage okay that's what's up yeah Yeah. I'm a word to the shoulders, man. I'm a word to the shoulders.

No, I never wanted to be in a fraternity. It never piqued my interest. Mary Porter sent me to get a degree and go to the NFL. That was it. That was the only thing that was on my mind, Ocho. I ain't going to lie. God's honest truth I got approached had an opportunity joined the Capos

joined the Q's that didn't interest me and plus bro Ocho I had a car Ocho I had a car wasn't nobody driving my car I had nice clothes I had Azad I had Fox I had Lee Jeans Levi's Darksiders ain't nobody driving my car. I had nice clothes. I had eyes on. I had Fox.

I had Lee jeans, Levi's, dark side of, ain't nobody wearing my, come on, bro. And I wasn't buying nobody, no food.

Come on, man. Y'all got me screwed up, bro. I'd have fought all them dudes. You got to do it for the brothers. No, I don't.

My brother, my brother sent me enough money for me. He had, he had 15, $2,000 in my pocket a month for me. Yeah. And plus, Ocho, think about it. Everybody know me.

I'm the BMOC. Man, you know they're going to be trying. Man, please. Right. I'm not built for that. I'm not built for that, Ocho, to be honest with you. I'm not built for that. Because I don't do that. I don't built for that. Because I don't do that.

I don't do that humiliation. I don't do that degrading stuff. So you wouldn't be able to get through the hazing? No. No. You're not going to throw my food. You're not going to throw my food on the floor and I eat it. You're not going to have me walking around the yard like a dog.

Come on, bro. They don't do all that, man. Have you walk around the yard like a dog yes you sure that was in a movie bro I went to HB I don't know how they do it at PWI I'm talking about HBCUs

back in the day when I went you know remember I went to Oregon State for four months I was on there for four months. I was a knucklehead, so I didn't get the chance to experience what it's like to go to a PWI for four years or an HBCU institution, so I don't know what it's like. I missed that train.

I'm not knowledgeable. I'm not really knowledgeable on how the hazing works. I remember there was a guy he was pledging Sigma that Hayden works. I remember there was a guy he pledged, he was pledging Sigma. Yeah.

Man, they had dude, he walked the entire game around the track doing his little... While the game was going on? Yes! That ain't bad.

That ain't bad for Hazen just walking. Nah, but bro, I don't want to get nobody in trouble, but everybody understands that went to an HBCU, that Hazen is there. Look, bro, they've closed down organizations on campuses for Hazen. So it's

on a different level. I'm just saying it wasn't for me. I mean, sometimes it could be for someone else. I'm just saying for me and my just saying it wasn't for me. I mean, sometimes it could be for someone else. I'm just saying for me and my personality it's not for me. Damn. That's crazy. It sounds fun though, man. It sounds fun.

The camaraderie, the fun, and then actually getting through the hazing and when you finally cross over, that got to be a great fucking feeling. I saw the movie, was it Stomp the Yard? Yeah, was it Stomp the Yard? Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, just that atmosphere, I wish I was able to experience that. That shit, it just looked fun. See, like, you know, like when you're in camp,

like when you're the upper, you know, you're the veteran player and you make the rookies come in and sing or you make them buy you donuts. See, that stuff, that cutting hair, we ain't cutting nobody's hair.

You know, we tie the guys up. We know how to bottom them up. We tie them up to the goalposts. The veteran guys be Mike McQuarrie. We put them in the cold tub and stuff like that. But you know what I'm saying? We not going to, you know, I wasn't big into, like, putting, you know, popcorn in people's car and messing up their stuff and stuff like that.

You know, just routine stuff. Okay, hey, Rook, bring me breakfast in the morning. Or, you know, you got donuts or stuff like that. You know, just, you know, saying, no, I don't want to hear your album. First of all, I don't even like your school. So I don't want to hear nothing but no fight song. You know, sing Maxwell, sing Luther Bandraw,

sing, you know, Baron White, stuff like that. So that's the type of guy I was, you know, sang Maxwell, sang Luther Bandraw, sang, you know, Barry White, stuff like that. So that's the type of guy once, you know, obviously as a rookie, I had to sing and do stuff like that. But I was like, man, you know, once I give me about three or four years in the league and I take over this, that's what I want the guys to do. So that's the way I look at it, though, Joe. That's live.

That's live. Hell, shit, I got them. That fraternity stuff is dope man you know having brothers having that union having that that connection even once you're done

with school and always just being friends what the hell you got your teammates for okay you right yeah but you know teammates they got families

everybody's separated when you don't play no more and you know it's hard you don't come together as one like you used to fraternities men and boys go back to homecoming. You ain't seen your homeboy. Well, what's up, boy? How you been?

Your big rough ass better not be at no homecoming. You 50 years old talking about something homecoming. Ain't that what they do? Isn't that the point of homecoming? Homecoming? It's not for the kids. It's not for the one that's already there. It's homecoming. It's called homecoming for a reason. Your big rough ass don't need to be there. Well, I mean, it's not for the kids. It's not for the one that's already there. It's homecoming. It's called homecoming for a reason. No big rough ass

don't need to be there. Well, I mean, it's not me. I didn't go to HBCU. I'm not part of fraternity. They have homecomings at PWIs also. They just don't have them at HBCUs. It's just different at HBCUs. Right. Right. I've never been to one. Hell, I went. I went. I

ain't even go to goddamn class. So Lord have mercy. See, that's why you ain't see the women. See, I went to class. That go to goddamn class so oh lord have mercy see that's why you ain't seen the women see I went to class that's where the women were huh that's where the women

were that's one thing about no women in I was trying to get to the league I was ready to leave too but hey I had to go there for four years

so I might as well go to class and see them oh see you had the opportunity to go to school for four years I didn't you gotta remember I started at Lankson University

in Oklahoma. NAIA, you know Lankson University, right? Yeah, I do. I got thrown out for fighting at Lankson. I'll never forget Ernest Holloway, Dr. Ernest Holloway. Rest in peace. He threw me out for fighting. I went back to Miami with my grandma. So in Miami, I was a red

shirt at Lankson. So that's one year down. Went back to Miami. My grandma was like, listen, baby, I've done all I can. This is my grandma. Rest in Miami, I was a red shirt at Langston. So that's one year down. Went back to Miami. My grandma was like, listen, baby, I've done all I can. This is my grandma, rest in peace. Her favorite line,

I wash my hands. I've done all I can with you. You got to go live with your mama because you can't come back here. So that's how I ended up at Santa Monica College in LA with Steve Smith in 1997. Right, Smitty.

Yeah, so I was with Smitty in 1997. So that's two years down. 1998, my black ass is in 1997. Yeah, so I was with Smitty in 1997. So that's two years down. 1998, my black ass is ineligible. So I got... If you'd have went to class, see? If you'd have went to class, you'd have been eligible.

I told you I wasn't going to class. So boom, I lock in because now my back is against the wall. My opportunity, my window, my window of opportunity is shrinking to get to the next level. So I went there. I took classes at Southwest.

I took classes at Santa Monica. And I took classes at West L.A. Just to get the credit so I could play in 1999. Boom. My year. Now that's four years out the window. That's four years right there. I mean, three years.

Three. Boom. Dennis Erickson happened to be at Oregon State he gave me that shot he gave me that one for one man I went to Oregon State man a cut a fool I just need I needed to get on the big stage so they could see me it didn't matter where I played I just need to get on any type of stage right and show. And I got to Oregon State that one year, man, and cut a fool. I was there four months and got drafted in April. That's all you need, see? Look how bad I made it, though.

I made it bad. You made it tough on yourself. You made it tough, a lot tougher than you needed to. I did. I did. Because I missed the experience of what it's like to be at a four-year institution. I missed it. I missed the experience of what it's like to go to a four-year institution. I miss it. I miss the experience of what it's like to go to an HBCU.

Listen to Against the Rules on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Man, that's the part. I mean, the homecoming, the pageantry, the buzz that you feel when you're in the student center, when you own the yard. And, you know, we had parks with the Sarovs and the fraternities. They're in this thing. They're dancing because they're going to have a step show

that Saturday night after the game, even that Friday before the game. I mean, it's just buzzing. You just feel it. And everybody's talking about, hey, hey, Sharp, you know, hey, my mom them coming, hey, we need to turn this thing out. I'm like, oh, okay, you know, I'm going to do what I do. And it's just, there's just

something about an HBCU homecoming week. And I've said this many, many times, and I've said it on a lot of different programs. I think everybody should have to experience everybody just one

HBCU homecoming. It doesn't matter which one. You can go to Grambling, you can go to Howard, Savannah State, A&T, Central, it doesn't matter. But you got to experience

just once to understand Maine. I haven't had the opportunity to experience it. I can't wait. I can't wait. Just once to understand. Man. I haven't had the opportunity to experience it. I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm an ambassador for FAMU. Yeah.

And I was hoping, you know, I was able to attend maybe two games this year. But because of my work schedule and other things I had going on, I wanted to experience homecoming. I have yet. I have yet to experience homecoming. I have yet, I have yet to experience homecoming and see what it's like seeing the football game, seeing the atmosphere, the band, the Marks and the 100, Miss Tiffany Sykes, the AD. If the atmosphere at a simple game is like that. Yeah. When they play, then they play in Jackson State, even with Prime gone,

just still, the atmosphere was fucking crazy. So I could just imagine what it's like at homecoming. Oh, man. I've yet to be able

to experience it because I'm always working. Yeah, because the thing is, and then you get all the former players coming back. Hey, man, I want to see that boy, Sharp Wade.

Man, that's Sharp. And so now, oh oh you know hey hey sharp hey turn it out hey turn it out yeah so everybody everybody geek because you know i was you know they they're gone now and i was a freshman now i'm a sophomore but everybody's heard man they say that boy sharp bad i told you it's gonna be. And so, man, the student body, the love that they gave me. Right, right, right. Come Saturday? Yeah.

Man, I wouldn't trade that. Look here. I wouldn't trade that for all the tea in China. And you know there's a lot of tea in China. But I wouldn't trade that experience at SSU. Because if I had to do it over again, I go right back to SSU. Let Haynes Walton be and Norman Elmore and Steve Smith and Gay Hewitt and Dr. Brock, all the ones.

And man, that student body, they rock with Shannon Sharp. Yeah. From 86 to 89, SSU rock with Shannon Sharp. That's live, man. Oh, man. It was unbelievable, O live man it was unbelievable Ojo it was unbelievable that's a tuba section

Ojo I hear that thing we start coming into that stadium and they start, hey, I hear that thing. We start coming into that stadium and they start playing that. Yeah. Man, man, I start getting, I said, oh boy. I said, ooh, y'all in trouble. Hey, number two about to get y'all this work.

Yeah. Oh man, homecoming. That got to be a great feeling, man. Yeah. I remember I was playing in high school and inner city schools. And I went to Beach High. My grandma forced me, made me leave Liberty City and go to school on the beach because I got to keep an eye on you. She was a teacher, a counselor at a junior high, daughterless middle school on the beach.

So I had to play against Edison. I had to play against Miami Northwest and Miami Jackson, all the inner city schools where all my homeboys at. And the only thing, the way I would get hype was when that goddamn band crank up. Man, it does. When that band crank up,

man, it's a different feeling, man. Yeah, baby. It's a different feeling, man. It is. That thing gets you hype. And man, just to see the crowd just rocking,

going back and forth. Everybody's so excited. My freshman year, we won homecoming. My sophomore year, we ended up losing, man. I remember telling coach,

I said, coach Davis, I got two more years. I ain't never lose another homecoming. I mean, it puts a little damper, but everybody's so excited to see everybody that they like, oh, no, I'm not losing. I say, I tell you what, I don't care who you put on the schedule.

We ain't losing another homecoming. Right. We're not losing another homecoming. Because I know my grandma, my mama coming next year, and then my last homecoming, my grandma came. Man, you think I'm about to lose my first game my grandma ever see me play? I'm about to lose that? Man, y'all watch y'all mind.

I play offense and defense. When I first got to Savannah State, Ocho, we used to be aired by the homecoming. I think we played by five homecoming because we push overs. What you mean? Because you schedule cream puffs for homecoming. You want an easy victory. Okay, okay, okay. You want that easy dub. Right, right, okay. You want that easy dub.

Right, right, right, right. I said, okay. All right. That stopped. Y'all, y'all, you changed it? Fort Valley, okay, put us on homecoming if you want to. Fort Valley, Albany. Your band's going to be mad.

Right. You're going to be mad. You're going to be sad now. When you played, did the band... I love the band. Honestly, I played saxophone and played piano only because of my mama. My grandma, my bad. Did the bands have

fifth quarter? Did the bands stay after and battle each other? They battled each other during the game. You're not supposed to be quiet. Man, please. Man, they're going back and forth. Right.

But they have something called the fifth quarter that they normally do now. Like when the game ends. After the game, yeah. Yeah, and after the game, they go back and forth. I love the fifth quarter, man. I love the fifth quarter. Chad, I know in the chat there's a lot of people that went to HBCUs, but there's the fifth quarter that you got to check out on YouTube between

Southern and Alcorn State in 2014. Oh, unbelievable. I know I'm off topic right now. Unbelievable. Alcorn State and Southern, I think it's 2014. That's one of the

best fifth quarters that I ever heard. I don't know about your band, but Ocho, I I'm telling you, if you played, if you played SSU, if SSU was on your schedule. Yeah. From 87 to 89. I don't know what your band was playing for. They had nothing to play for. We put bussing for. Y'all had a nice band?

We had a nice team. Wait, way back then? Oh, you mean, oh, you talk about the team, the football team. I was on it. Oh, yo. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all were nice. I did my homework. I did my homework on you. I did my homework.

Y'all were nice. I had to go and see what that two were hitting for. I heard two were nice. They better stop playing. They better stop playing. Who your quarterback was? My junior and senior year, we had a guy named Richard Basil.

He made it to the league? Nah, he was small. My sophomore year, we started with a guy named who started? We started with a guy named Bobby Kenner and then we had a dude named Kenny Ham

called Ming Buck. He passed away and then Johnny Jeffrey a dude named Kenny Ham, called him Mean Buck. He passed away. And then Johnny Jeffrey, called him Bobby Brown. Okay. I put that head on like, hey, I would ran him off before ran him off. I throw that head up. It's coming.

Bobby Brown throw that thing out there for the boy. Yeah. Oh, I would like that. Oh, I would like that, though, Joe, for real. Hey, I'm trying to think, man. When I was at Langston University Who was my quarterback Matter of fact you know who went to Langston University with me Remember Matthew Hatchett

Yeah For the Minnesota Vikings Matthew Hatchett was that boy when I was at Langston Matthew Hatchett was there And the quarterback The quarterback at the time I'll never forget his name was Waylon Jones He's from somewhere in Houston I'll never forget. His name was Waylon Jones. He's from somewhere in Houston.

I'll never forget. Waylon Jones and K-Money. K-Money. I can't remember his real name. They used to call him K-Money, man. But, God, that was dope. And it was just some days. I'm so mad they got thrown out, man.

Like, I was at Langston maybe three months. Three months, and I was gone. Man, Dr. Ernest Holloway say, man, listen, son, we can't have that here and we don't tolerate that type of... That behavior. ...shit me right back to Miami.

I think it's Uncle with all those suits. Oh, yeah. Ocho can't see me with clothes. Who? Ocho, you can't see me with all those suits. Oh, yeah. Ocho can't see me with clothes. Who? Ocho, you can't see me with no clothes. You got no rag.

Me? Yeah, you. You got no rag. Hey, yo, man. You don't want to see me. You got no rag like me. Ocho, you got no rag like me. But you don't want to see me.

You don't want to see me in them suits, man. Don't do that. You got some nice stuff. I just don't... I don't have very many places to go where I have to put a suit on. But when it's time to step, I don't play. I'm just telling you, I don't play.

I don't play. I'm different. I'm different in the suit now. I'm different. Sometimes you ain't even going to know it's me. I'm different in the suit. I ain't going to know it's you. Yeah, I'm chipped.

Boy, you can chimp. All right. Boy, I ain't know to noise you I ain't up I ain't know you Boy I be cleaning In the board of health Boy in a suit Well you already know I jump so you know

I do what I do Yeah you be doing Your thing now You be doing your thing I ain't taking Nothing away from you But listen If they was

Listen If they was grading me I'm getting an A Every time You getting an A I'm cleaner than the board of health every time I put on a suit. 98% of the time, I look like a bum.

But when it's time to go somewhere and I got to wear a suit, well, I ain't nothing to play with. Kobe 20 asked, Uncle Nocho, coming from the South, how did y'all handle playing Nicole in Denver and Cincinnati? Every time, man, you know what? I love the goddamn cold, bro.

Nah, I went upstairs and got that check on that Monday. It kept me warm for about a whole month. It was easy, Ocho. I got that check. You get, once you start to practice, the hardest part was practicing in it because you don't have the same adrenaline. You ain't got no heated benches, no things of that nature like you have in the game.

So once you can master, like, practicing in it, the game became a lot easier. Now, it ain't no preparing yourself to play what Kansas City played in. No. That-hmm. No. That's different. Yeah. I mean, we had some, it was like 10 for like three or four days, like, whew, Lord, have mercy.

Mm-hmm. Because you want to be as warm as you possibly can, but you want to be able to run and catch the football. So I couldn't be out there like a snowman, like the Michelin man can't move. You warm, but you can't get open. You can't move. So there was a fine line between having enough on,

but not too much. Yeah. I think I enjoyed the cold. Obviously, being from Miami, rarely does it ever get cold. And if it does get cold, we talk about 70. You know, with 70 in Miami, you out there with a goddamn jacket and Ugg boots on. Right.

But I had appreciation. When I got to Cincinnati, I had appreciation for the cold and enjoying the seasons. I enjoyed the buildup to the cold. And by the time it actually got cold, you know, late November, early December, mentally I was already prepared. Right. I was already prepared. And I couldn't wear no sleeves. At times I did, more so a fashion statement.

But when it got cold, gripping the ball, the ball would always slip. Yeah, you have sleeves. Yeah, you have sleeves. You can't feel the ball. So I was good. As long as I had my jacket and i had the heated bench and we had to eat on right i was good to go i didn't it didn't matter how cold it got yeah yeah that's how i was i didn't i couldn't have anything i i mean i didn't i didn't wear uh uh thermals uh uh up

under my you know some people have like those those leg warmth i couldn't wear those I need to be light right right right light as possible yeah light uh Damien Flowers is it a stretch for Green Bay to make it to the Super Bowl Uncle Ocho was talking crazy last night he needed one of them diamonds I mean look

obviously they're going to be underdogs going to San Francisco the great equalizer turnovers. Can they coach Brock Purdy to do what Dak Prescott did? Throw him one early, give him a pick six a little later. Can they force him into one of those days? That's how you go on the road and beat a team that the experts say you shouldn't win.

You shouldn't beat. You got to go. You got to do. You got to. Obviously, you got to play well. You can't turn it over, but you got to coast a couple of turnovers out of the bill. And if you can do that, you have a great chance. You don't like the chances, huh?

you don't like the chances huh you don't seem convinced you gotta damn near play perfect football man you gotta damn near play perfect football they did on Sunday yeah they played a perfect game remember who they playing though?

Yeah Gonna be a different ball game A little added pressure Stakes a little bit higher Mistakes You gotta minimize all mistakes You do You do You do Mistakes. You got to minimize all mistakes. You do.

You do. You do. So you don't like Green Bay Chances, huh? I do. I do. With the way Love is playing. With the way Reed and Melton, Dobbs, Christian Watson, with the way them boys playing.

Just carefree. But obviously young, not very experienced, being in the playoff atmosphere. If they're able to minimize those mistakes, them boys might shock. Them boys might shock the world. Them boys might shock the world. I wouldn't be surprised Marcus B asked a

My brother was in the sixth in those Steelers jerseys. And we were, so I've been a Steelers fan ever since.

for an athlete? Also, Ocho, is Crespo on the back of your jersey? No. Somebody know they shit. see legend no there's no bigger honor um to have a statue that's foundational that's not going anywhere um that means not only were you good on the court you were exemplary off of it and so for for you to have a statue that organization thanks the world

the sun the moon and the stars of that individual uh d wade is very deserving so no no i mean obviously you know because if you get a statue, obviously, you're going to get your number retired. Right. But, I mean, if you go to Miami, who would want to wear number three? That's D. Wade. Yeah, you don't want to follow up behind that. Nah, hell nah.

You don't want to follow up behind that. Nah. Not at all. Yeah, shit, I want me a statue, too. To do what? A statue to do what? Put it out there in front of the Bengals stadium. I'll pay for it myself.

I probably, if Joe Burrow wins the Super Bowl, Joe Burrow will probably be the first one to get it. Yeah. Oh, he damn, shit. I'll build a statue for Joe. He'll get a goddamn Super Bowl. Yeah. Shit, he was almost there.

I don't see it. I don't see it. You'll see it because I'm going to grow my hair out on purpose. Matter of fact, hey, for Super Bowl,

And I'm going to come in with a piece, with a little fade, with a little part. Who want for the killer? I don't think that's possible, Ocho. I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, Ocho, but I don't think you got no... As you can see...

How we look at that? 63% say Ocho you ain't got no hairline bro see they don't know me yeah we do know you yeah we do I know you

they don't know me I got a hairline my hairline was clear as day before I even sat down you right it's clear it is clear we can see right through it

it's clear it's clear alright I don't know Ocho I'm saying but a bald head You can see right through it. It's clear. It's clear, all right. I don't know, Joe. I mean, I'm saying, but a bald head because you got a little pea head. So it works for you. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, listen, I had, you know, my helmet, my NFL helmet was the same helmet I wore back in high school. The size. I wore a medium.

Yeah. I mean, you probably wore what you wore, like a seven and a quarter? No, my hat I wear six, seven, eight. Yeah, see? Little peanut head. Yeah, small, man. Little head. Like, perfect. It's perfect for my body, though. Perfect for my body.

No, it's perfect for that bald head. So, when you got a little head that small, most people got heads that small, they go bald. Nah, man, I'm not bald. Because you look like a monster cheat. If you had hair, you look like a little monster cheat. Nah, nah, nah.

I can grow an afro. I can grow an afro. I had dreads in high school. I had dreads in a mouth full of golds. Nah. Nah, I'm for real. I had dreads in a mouth of the goal in high school. Yeah, I'm from

out of the city now. I don't know, Ocho. I'm trying to look. Turn a profile. Do a profile. That man ain't got to lick a line.

Man, that joker ain't got to lick a line. What line? I couldn't even lick of line. Man, that joker ain't got a lick of line. What line? I couldn't even draw a line. Well, I cut my hair. How you going to draw a line if ain't nothing? You can tell, even if somebody got a bald head, you could tell if they had a hairline in the front.

You ain't got no line, Ocho. No, you can't. No, you can't. I ain't been in the sun. I've been in the cold. What the hell that got to do with anything? Because everything is blending in. Everything is blending in from the face to the scout. It's thin.
