Starting point is 00:08:22 in 23 early 24 24 counts of Christmas. Got all them going to nightcap, Punk and Ocho. In one way or another. All right, Ocho, let's get right into it. The worst kept secret probably since Shaq, LeBron, and Tim Duncan came out. Who's going to be the number one overall pick in the WNBA draft? And the Indiana Fever selected. Kaitlyn Clark,
Starting point is 00:08:46 guard out of University of Iowa. No surprise there. The Sparks chose Stanford on Cameron Brink. She'll stay in California. We'll give the Sparks a two-way player, a prolific scorer, Nate Smith, a defensive player of the year.
Starting point is 00:09:01 The Sparks also needed to replace Nneka Abumake, who left for Seattle in pre-agency. Angel Reese went seventh to the Chicago Sky. So here's the picks. Indiana Fever selected Kaitlyn Clark, number one. The Sparks selected Cameron Brink, number two. Chicago Sky selected Camilla Cardosa, number four.
Starting point is 00:09:26 The Sparks also had two top five picks. Ricky Jackson of Tennessee. The Dallas Wings, J.C. Sheldon, Ohio State. Washington Mystics selected Aaliyah Edwards forward out of UConn. Angel Reese was selected seventh out of Chicago
Starting point is 00:09:41 Sky. The Minnesota Lynx made a trade. Alyssa Peely from Utah. And Dallas Williams, Carla Lett from France. So that was your top 10. No surprise. Really, I don't think there's any surprises, especially the top four. We know Clark was going to be number one.
Starting point is 00:10:02 All indications that Brink was going to be two. Cardoza was going to be three. Ricky Jackson was going to be number one. All indications that Brink was going to be two. Cardoso was going to be three. Ricky Jackson was going to be four. But the Chicago Sky traded back up to seventh to select Angel Reese. And so that's how it played out. Any surprises to you? No, no surprise to me. Honestly, I thought Miss Reese would have went earlier. uh no no no surprise to me um i'm honestly honestly i thought i thought miss miss reese
Starting point is 00:10:27 i thought miss reese would have went earlier but those that that went before her all fit very well and they were team needs you know based on where they went but i think um what i really like is camilla cardoza and angel reese actually going to the same team yeah so you go from competing now you go to playing together and. And I think that's really dope for them. Outside of that, I'm excited. I'm excited. The funny thing, I'm a little bit more excited for watching the WNBA coming up this following season as opposed to I am watching NBA.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I ain't really watching NBA all season. I've been to two games all year. I've been to that Philly game, that Philly game when the meter dropped 70. And I went to that Knicks game not too long ago when Jalen Brunson was out. But I had a chance to, you know, sit in the garden. But I'm more excited to goddamn watch the WNBA this upcoming season. So this is dope. I think this is something I'm going to get myself into so I can talk a little bit more about it.
Starting point is 00:11:20 The way I can talk about soccer, the way I can talk about boxing, and the way I can talk about tennis. So, and football for that matter, but I'm excited. Yes, Kaylee McClark going number one overall. She goes, she teams up with last year's number one overall pick, Aaliyah Boston, who's from University of South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:11:38 And so now she's going to have better players around her. We know she has a great shot, has great basketball IQ. She can facilitate the basketball because she led the nation in scoring and she led the nation in assists. Those things translate. So if she's having an off-night shooting,
Starting point is 00:11:53 she can make it easier shots for her teammates. You know, her impact on the game is already being felt because 36 of her games are going to be nationally televised. Never in the history of the WNBA has that ever happened before. That is impact.
Starting point is 00:12:09 But in seat, that is impact. Yeah. Look at the Lakers. When they go on the road, there are more teams there to watch LeBron and the Lakers. Then watch the team plan. Same thing with Steph Curry.
Starting point is 00:12:21 That is impact. She's going to have that type of impact. And we see this rise in women's sports. And so that's great for all women because there was a time that there was no WNBA. And the women had to go overseas. It's nice to see
Starting point is 00:12:37 that sponsors and advertisers and fans alike are starting to get behind these women's sports. And we're starting to see because it's something to give the young girls that's growing up something to look forward to. We know our young guys, young men, boys, they have football, they have basketball, they have soccer. They have so many sports to look forward to.
Starting point is 00:13:00 But women, it's not like that. So for them to have the for the WNBA to have a rise in popularity yeah it seems like advertising the sponsors are starting to get behind I think Caitlin Clark is going to be at the forefront of that but this is a great this is a great great group of young ladies Cameron Brink, Camila Cardoza, Ricky Jackson, Jason Sheldon I am so excited and Angel Reese rounding out going to Chicago that's great. I think all things being equal, she could have gone to Los Angeles, which would have been great.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Go to New York. That's great. But Chicago is not a bad option. Not at all. Big city. That's a big market. That's a big market. Very big market. I'm excited. I'm excited for these young ladies. Congratulations to all the women. And as I tweeted out earlier today, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:13:45 this is not the end of your journey. A new journey starts now. Just starting. Now, hey, the greatest ladies play here. Show your why. Show your why now. It's not about what you've done. Everybody at this level has accomplished something.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Now you're zero and zero. You've accomplished nothing in the WNBA. Now go show your wife. So I'm excited for all these young ladies. Congratulations, young ladies, to all those that stood behind you, moms, dads, coaches, grandparents, brothers and sisters, and loved ones alike. This is a dream come true, but this is not the end of your dream.
Starting point is 00:14:22 This is only the beginning of it. So congratulations to all those ladies and much success. And if I'm not mistaken, mistaken, I think the first game is what, May 14th? So less than a month away. Wait, already? Already, yeah. And the ladies were impeccable.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Kayla Clark had on Prada. Cameron Brink had the slit. Nice, like he's walking the red carpet. And you know Angel was going to do it. You know Bayou Barbie was going to come out with it. Yeah, she's going to kill it. She's going to kill it every time. Everybody has their own unique look and own unique style and fashion
Starting point is 00:14:54 and fashion forward way of expressing themselves. Yeah. I like it. I do too. That's one thing I like about the WNBA players. Man, them girls, man, them girls put that shit on now. Oh, they put it on? They put that shit on. But when it's time to come play about the WNBA players. Man, them girls, man, them girls put that shit on now. Oh, they did put it on? They put that shit on.
Starting point is 00:15:07 But when it's time to come play, man, I enjoy it. Some very, very, very, very stylish women. Very stylish. Yeah, they were very stylish. They put on. But pretty soon, it's time to put that hair up on the ponytail. And put them gym shorts on. Now it's time to put up the couture.
Starting point is 00:15:24 It's time to put on some gym shorts. And let's go do this. Let's go do this. This is what we came to do. So congratulations, young lady. Well-deserved, well-earned. Congratulations to all the people that stood behind them and backed them. Because no one gets here alone.
Starting point is 00:15:40 And so, again, congratulations. And I'm extremely happy for each and every one of these young ladies that was drafted uh now it's time for our first segment of the night ocho yeah and it's a news cap the eagles have extended former heisman Trophy winner, first-round pick Devontae Smith to a three-year deal, $75 million. Devontae Smith contracts call for $51 million in guaranteed money. Devontae Smith is the Eagles' third major extension of the offseason. Landon Dixon, four years, $84 million.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Jordan Maialata, three years, $66 million. The Eagles now have Devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts, Landon Dixon, and Jordan Maialata all secured to the year 2029. Devontae Smith has the most receptions 240 and receiving yards 3,178 through the first three seasons in Eagles history.
Starting point is 00:16:36 The Eagles appear to have wanted a head start on wide receivers market as they extended Devontae Smith prior to the extension of other notable receivers, Smith was selected 10th overall in the 2021 draft. The notable receivers from the 2020 NFL draft who are still in line for a contract extension have not received them yet.
Starting point is 00:16:56 T. Higgins, C.D. Lamb, Brandon Ayuk, Ayuk, and Justin Jefferson. So Smitty says, you know what? Hey, bro, y'all do what y'all do, but I got to do what's in the best interest of my family. And in the best interest of my family, I'm going to get a head start on this thing. So y'all do what y'all do. I'm going to take this 75 three-year, $75 million, 51
Starting point is 00:17:17 guarantee, and I'm going to get on up out of here. And the most important thing about it is the guarantee. What is guaranteed? What am I getting? Forget what the numbers look. I know it looks pretty, 3 for 75. No, let me see the real numbers.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Let me break down what I'm really earning within that time frame and what is coming to me, coming hella high water if I get hurt, no matter what, it's going to be in my pocket. It's going to be in my pocket. Yeah, for sure. Them three years from the go-back so fast, he's going to double up and come right back to the bank. Yeah. He's going to double up and pocket. For sure. Them three years when they go by so fast, he's going to double up and come right back to the bank. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:46 He's going to double up and have that Brink truck back on up because I don't see Smitty slowing down anytime soon, especially in that offense that he's in.
Starting point is 00:17:54 He's going to be productive the next three years. So he's going to see another payday. I like the fact, Ojo, he's not waiting around To see what others
Starting point is 00:18:06 Because the worst mistake People can make sometimes Is to measure your value By what somebody else got Right We see that an awful lot Well he got that Wait what
Starting point is 00:18:16 That ain't got nothing to do with you You not over there You right here I mean How am I going to tell a man Hey They got cake over there And I'm in a hardware store. I can only get hammer and nails or salt.
Starting point is 00:18:30 That's all I get. That's all I can get over here. That's all I can get in a hardware store. They're in a grocery store. So you're not where they are. So you can't say, well, they did this. Never measure your worth by what someone else got. And so if you do that that you'll be fine and so he's like look this good i gotta worry about my financial me he got
Starting point is 00:18:53 a wife i think he got a wife or a girlfriend a kid i think he just had a newborn within the last six months and so if he feels comfortable with it let let that rock. Let that rock. Like you said, hey, get that money early. How old is he, 24, 25? 25. He number 25. 25, yes. He number 25.
Starting point is 00:19:14 He go ahead and ball out like he's been balling out. They'll come back and see him again at 28. Oh, yeah. Yeah, most definitely. Real quick. So congratulations, Smitty. He's one of the first guys that I had on my podcast at Club Shea Shea.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Actually, we did it here in my backyard in the garage. And so he had just won the Heisman. I won all the awards that year. So congratulations in order to him. Yeah, yeah. And he's very deserving. And you know what else?

I'm telling you, he done put on some weight this offseason. You know, he done bulked up. I guarantee you, when you see him this year, you're going to be like, God damn, boy, you been working.

Starting point is 00:21:36 and of course, Colleen Wolfe. This is their window right now. This is their Super Bowl window. Why would they trade him away?

Starting point is 00:21:58 And who doesn't want that? Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What happened with C.D. Lamb, what? Here we go. C.D. Lamb and Justin Jefferson skipped workout amid contract talks. The pair of NFL top receivers decided not to show up to voluntary workouts on Monday in the midst of contracts talk. I don't blame them.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Both players are set to hit for agency in 2025 and will attempt to work out a long-term contract in order to stay with the organization. CeeDee Lamb will be playing on a fifth-year option worth $18 million. CeeDee's coming off a career year in which he led all
Starting point is 00:22:40 NFL players with 135 receptions. He racked up 1,749 yards while finding the end zone 12 times. Jefferson has a base salary of $20 million. After the Vikings exercised his fifth-year option, the 24-year-old skipped
Starting point is 00:22:56 voluntary workouts in 2023, although he showed up for the team's mandatory minicamp. I don't blame him. Anything that's voluntary. Voluntary means it's on my own free volition. I decide to come. That's what volunteering is. I volunteer my service. You want me
Starting point is 00:23:12 to come? Make it mandatory. I ain't giving you no money back. Just Jefferson and the Vikings nearly reached an agreement in 2023, although the deal fell apart and never was finalized. What you got? Man, them boys, listen,
Starting point is 00:23:28 them boys ain't playing by their money, man. They ain't playing by their money. And sometimes, you know what? You got to, it's one thing to love the game of football. It's one thing to love it and be passionate about it as a player. But you know what that business, you know what this business will do to you? They'll use it against you when it's pay time.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Oh, absolutely. Listen, they will lose your love for the game of football and use it against you when it's time to get paid because they know, you know what, he love the game so much, he going to come in anyway. Or he going to show up to camp anyway. He going to show up to camp. So that notion, you got to be careful. You got to understand you got to play the game especially when it comes to this business it's one thing to love and be passionate about the game and love your team and be loyal to your teammates and all this there's no i am a team player all that shit
Starting point is 00:24:15 sound good until it's time for you to get paid and the business shows you exactly how dirty and ugly you can get there's no reason cee Lamb should not be paid at this point because the resume speaks for itself. There's no reason Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, I'm sure it takes time.
Starting point is 00:24:31 You know, you got to do the numbers and all that stuff. You got to do the books. There's a lot that goes into it. But you already know these individuals
Starting point is 00:24:38 are coming up. You already knew you had budget, voluntary. You already knew you had voluntary camp coming up. You would want your best players in camp at that time.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You wouldn't want them in time. So why even play this game? You did the same goddamn shit in Dallas. Did the same shit with, with a goddamn, um, Ezekiel Elliott. You had Zeke out there on the beach in Cabo,
Starting point is 00:25:01 wherever he was at working out, he was training, keeping himself. Why even play this game? And then they come into camp. You know how different it is. You could train 100 times a day away from football, but when you're in that
Starting point is 00:25:14 structured environment, it's completely different. It's completely different. You think you're in shape working by yourself until you get out there with 11-on-11 and 7-on- 707 and you're getting pushed around and moved around it's a little it's a little bit different you get it you get in shape by playing football that's how you get in football shape period guys play basketball they do open
Starting point is 00:25:37 runs yeah because you get in shape playing basketball yeah and so that's what you need to do and look but i don't have a problem with the guys. Look, it's early. Now, once training camp roll around and they're not in camp, now we're going to have something to really talk about, Ocho. That's even worse, though. Why do teams play this game? Why? Why not allow him to be in camp happy, for one, like you do your quarterbacks.
Starting point is 00:26:05 You take care of your quarterbacks to make sure they're happy and have nothing going on in their head mentally so they clear they have a clear mind ready to go in but when it comes to the skill position they always got to fight tooth and nail you got to drag them through the mud no matter how good they are you wait you last you wait to the last minute i don't know what point you trying to prove okay we're gonna take care of that. Two minutes before camp starts. Two minutes before camp starts, he'll go cross the ticker. Oh, so-and-so finally signed.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Oh, Joe. The Cowboys won the Super Bowl. Emmitt Smith's contract, he won and negotiated. He missed the first two games of 93. Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher. And they made him hold first two games of 93 emmett smith is the all-time leading rusher and they made him hold out two games they lost both of those games and jerry came to his senses and got him in yeah yes so from an owner's perspective i know it's hard for us to think like owners i think from that business business mindset on the other side of the spectrum, what is it that they're doing?
Starting point is 00:27:05 What purpose are they, as owners, do they do in withholding, giving the contract until the last minute? They don't want... The word, you remember last week, Ocho, I asked you to spell
Starting point is 00:27:18 the word precedent? Right. They don't want to set a precedent. They don't want a situation where I ask, okay, the team just gave in. Let's just say CD wants 35 million. A year.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Team probably offering 25 million. Oh, no, no, don't low ball it. Okay, but go ahead. That's a, okay, now, okay, you come down, I come up. You come down, how soon do we meet? Right. That's how they're trying to look at it. The problem that they're running into is that
Starting point is 00:27:52 you got that beast over on the other side of the ball, Micah. Oh, yeah. You see what Miles Garrett got? Yeah. You see what Joey Bosa got? You see what T.J. Watt got? Right, right, right, right. Yeah. And that was two and three years. You see what T.J. Watt got. Right, right, right, right, right. Yeah. And that was two and three years ago.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Inflation. Yeah. What you could buy, what you could get with a hundred million guarantee, you can't get today. Mm-hmm. Michael said, give me my money. Yeah, you're right. Because here's the thing, Ocho. This is a bottle of water.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah. That's all it is. Now, some places, that bottle of water, you can get it for a dollar. Some places, you can get it for $2. Right. Go to the ballpark, it might cost you $10. The value of the water is determined by where you are. You see, sometimes, Ocho, you have to look at it.
Starting point is 00:28:53 If my value isn't right here, I might be in the wrong place. I might need to go somewhere else where my value is a little higher. Now, that's a bottle of water. I don't care what they say. It could have been in the old day, could have packaged it in Switzerland or Antarctica or the Ozarks. Right. But at the end of the day, it quenches your thirst. And some of it costs you a dollar. Some of it costs you five dollars.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Some of it might cost you 20. The only difference is where you purchase it from determines the value of it. Where you're playing determines the value. So maybe you might, hey, Ocho, because guess what? If I take this watch, I might take it to the pawn shop. Pawn shop might say, man, I know what it's worth, but you coming in here, so obviously you need the money. I ain't going to give you what it's worth. I might give you $5,000.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Your homie on the street said, man, I like that. I ain't never seen that. I might give you $10,000. Right. You might take it to the auction. They're like, well, dang, Rolex only produced 100 of these. This was in great shape. I think it might be worth X
Starting point is 00:30:05 you see it's the same watch three different people valued it differently yeah I like that okay you don't value also in a relationship it's the same yeah
Starting point is 00:30:20 he might not value you you might have to leave. Right. And where somebody else value what you do more than what you're currently being valued right here. But you can't be afraid to leave. I like that. You can't be afraid to leave. You can't, Ocho. A lot of times people are afraid. They're afraid of the unknown. See, this is why people are afraid of the dark and not the day.
Starting point is 00:30:53 Because I can't see that well at night. Something might be lurking behind that door. The boogeyman might be out there. See, that's the difference between that's what faith is. You know what? people need to hear What you're saying right now
Starting point is 00:31:07 Especially with that faith And that afraid to leave Because of the value And whoever you You might be in a situation Where you're not feeling valued Or you're not valued in general Ladies
Starting point is 00:31:17 If you listen Fellas If you got somebody you're dealing with It's not easy though Joe It's not easy I know it's not easy at all, Joe. It's not easy. I know it's not easy, but still, just to put a little bug in your ear,
Starting point is 00:31:31 just to put a little bug in your ear, you saying this tonight for a reason. It's going to hit somebody. Yes. You saying it tonight for a reason. This came up tonight for a reason. But somebody that's listening, I'm telling you. Because you're in a situation where the person you're with is not valuing you and whatever it is you bring to the table it's a very it's a situation no joe where
Starting point is 00:31:53 my trainer thought it's the bible teaches us it says god says have faith see faith is is believing with not knowing. God said if you believe, if you say you got to believe first, then I'll show you. What is man? The opposite. Man say show me and I'll believe you.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Right. And so most people, you need to show it to them before they believe it. Right. But faith is taking that leap of faith is the unknown. But believing.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Someone asked me, said, well, Shannon, when your situation ended at undisputed, how did you know? I say, I don't gamble anymore. I said, but if I go to, if I go to Vegas
Starting point is 00:32:43 and I play roulette, I'm betting on black. I'm going to bet on me. Come on now. You see, the problem that people underestimate me because they forget where I came from. Yeah. This is the easiest situation that I've ever had to leave. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:03 This is the easiest situation that I've ever had to leave. Right. Do you understand where my family came from and how my brother and I got it out of the mud? Literally? Right. So you mean to tell me I can't? Remember, what did I tell you? If I'd done it before, I can do it again.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Oh, yeah, most definitely. Every time. Barney Porter used to tell my brother and I, he said, boy, anytime I take y'allall somewhere you should always be able to get back if i take you somewhere he would always tell me and my brother if i take you somewhere one time you should get back well hell i was on tv before doing what i did you mean to tell me I couldn't get back on TV and do it again? If I got an opportunity, you mean to tell me that if I
Starting point is 00:33:49 did this with Club Shay Shay, you mean to tell me I couldn't get with a host, a co-host and create Nightcap? You lying to me. Y'all nothing to tell me what I can't do. Just tell me it hasn't been done yet because sometimes people try to force their beliefs off on you
Starting point is 00:34:09 just because you can't do it that don't mean I can't do it I can't everything is possible everything is possible you put your mind to it you put your mind to it you got your little discipline you put your mind to it and you're willing to execute a plan to get it done
Starting point is 00:34:24 everything and anything is possible and you know why to execute a plan to get it done everything everything and anything is possible and you know why i knew i could do it ocho because think about how hard i work for the broncos how hard i work for the ravens how hard i work for cds and fox so you mean to tell me i'm almost i'm gonna deny myself vacation and everything for them but i can't do it for my own i can't do it for club shea shea i can't do it for nightcap that's mine yeah and that's what people don't understand people will work themselves to the bone on somebody else's job and will give less than half the effort for their own and then wonder why i don't know think about it. If you had worked as hard as you did on Mr. Charlie's job,
Starting point is 00:35:06 as you did for 10, 15 years, when you got your own, well, I don't feel like going to work today, so I ain't got to go to work today. See? No. I'm going to show up coming hell or high water. I'm going to have to be gravely ill not for me to show up.
Starting point is 00:35:26 Show up, right. Because guess what? There were some times I didn't feel like taking my ass to work, but I went and got on that man clock. I can get on my clock. Yeah. That's the approach you have to have, people. That's the mindset that you have to have.
Starting point is 00:35:42 If you can work that hard for somebody else, you should be damn willing to work that hard for your damn self. Yeah. You got to want it. Can't nobody want it for you. Can't nobody want it for you. Nah. And that's the number one thing I tell my kids.
Starting point is 00:35:57 I can't want something for you more than you want it for yourself. Right. Because at the end of the day, oh yeah, daddy pushing me, daddy pushing me. And then as soon as daddy turned around, you were like, nah, i don't really want to do that yeah and i always told him you know hey do what you want because i've lived out my dream my whole dream was to get great out of
Starting point is 00:36:14 this environment and now if that's not your dream they say you're not upset your son didn't play football hell nah that was my dream that wasn't his yeah yeah the last thing i wanted for my kids to be was 30 years old and say, well, daddy, I only did this because of you. No, here you did. You chose that. You chose that major because that's what you wanted to do. You chose that job because that's what you want to do.
Starting point is 00:36:35 Shannon did what he wanted to do. Right. Shannon didn't push you in any direction. Once you chose the direction, I said, okay, because this is what you're going to have to do. So no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't, I didn't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Did I push my kids? Yes. Be better. Be humble, but not just, oh, son, you got to play football. Now you don't want to play. Okay. Fine. That was my dream.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Right. I don't force my dreams off on my kids the hard work yes absolutely absolutely i'll make sure you're gonna work hard now i said hey at the sharp household it only got it only got one room for one lazy mofo i'm in i'm the only lazy mofo that can lay here. Right. So, Devontae Adams rejects trade chatter. If I wanted to be gone, I'd be gone. For more than a year,
Starting point is 00:37:32 trade rumors surrounding Devontae Adams have circulated based on multiple factors, including coaching change. And he's 31 years of age, seeking to play for a clear contender. Speaking to Sunday at his youth football camp in Las Vegas, Adam told reporters he had no desire to be traded.
Starting point is 00:37:47 If I wanted to be gone, I would be gone by now. This is where I want to be. I like, yeah, I mean, listen, sometimes you don't know when something is real, but even at 31, Devontae to me, still the most prolific elite route runner in the nfl now uh he is highly inspiring highly sought after if he was a secret you know to want to be traded um some contenders some thoughts on places that he would he could go and and fill that role very good buffaloills being one of them. You know, Buffalo Bills being one of them.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Getting that same type of monster player that Stephon Diggs was that is an elite route runner that you can put in any position, can play from the outside, can play from the inside. He can beat man, he can beat zone. He can do it all. He can do it all. He built a nice home. He got do it all. He's like, look,
Starting point is 00:38:45 he built a nice home. He got a wife. A couple of kids. No state income tax in Nevada. Buffalo ain't it, dog. Buffalo ain't it. No. I don't think he wants to move. I don't think he...
Starting point is 00:38:59 Listen to the words he said, man. He said a contender. That's what speculation said. He said if I wanted to be somewhere else, I would. Oh, yeah, I thought he said, okay, my bad, my bad. Go ahead, go ahead. After spending your time in Cincinnati, you ain't really trying to go back.
Starting point is 00:39:17 You ain't trying to live in no cold weather, are you? No, I like the cold, man. Ain't nothing wrong with that, man. I like that. I'm in Vegas. I'm in a controlled environment. Eight games a year it's gonna be perfect not maybe nine games so this might be the year the afc have nine home game right perfect weather okay yeah i'm sure he would love to play with a quarterback like a roger hell he take derrick carl over again because hell he would
Starting point is 00:39:41 have 50 on the yard that was first team off-road with Derek Carr. He just doesn't like the quarterback carousel. Quarterback for four games, another quarterback, another quarterback. He doesn't like that. He likes certainty. Talk about certainty. Who's the quarterback right now for the Raiders? That's what
Starting point is 00:39:59 I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Aiden O'Connell is the quarterback right now. It's going to be interesting. He and Josh Allen. Don't disrespect him, but I'm saying. Aiden O'Connell is the quarterback right now. He and Josh Allen. I don't disrespect him, but I'm just saying. I would like, I love Devontae to death, but I'm just saying if you could go to a contender, it would behoove you to do so
Starting point is 00:40:19 because I want to see you get back to where I know you can still play and I want the numbers to show. I want the numbers to show back to where I know you can still play. And I want the numbers to show. I want the numbers to show that. So people can stop talking this, you know what, gibberish about, oh, I ain't even going to go there. I ain't even going to bring it. I'm not going to give a table legs and bring that up. Well, you know, Gardner Minshew is also the backup.
Starting point is 00:40:40 They signed him. I mean, hey, while you're bulljiving, he got Michael Pittman Jr. 100 plus something catching 12, 13 other yards. So if he could get gone, that's no disrespect to Pittman Jr. But I think Devontae
Starting point is 00:40:58 might be, but you know, hey, different city, different situation. I think the thing is, I mean, Ocho, he's like I said, he's a family man. He got kids. He ain't trying to really uproot his family at 31. And but here's the thing, Ocho. And sometimes, you know, we all will. I won't.
Starting point is 00:41:17 I won't guys to win as much as anybody. But ain't no guarantee. That's the thing that we love about sports. Ain't no guarantees. That's the thing that we love about sports. Ain't no guarantees. Because what happens, he get there, then the quarterback go down halfway
Starting point is 00:41:30 through the season. Sometimes there's certain examples you got to take. You know, sometimes you're like, damn, man. I mean, Brady was always
Starting point is 00:41:40 helping. Think about it. In 20 years, with the exception of one year, so 22, Brady came in at 20. So for 22, 23 years, one season, you had to worry about Brady not being up on the center.
Starting point is 00:41:53 But every Sunday, every Monday, every Thursday, you trotted out there for 20-plus seasons, you know 12, if you was in New England or Tampa, 12 was going to be on the center. And if he's on the center, I got an 85% chance of winning. Every time. Everybody don't get that old joke.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Damn, man. Just think about that. Damn. So, at the end of the day, what's important to Devante because everybody doesn't view championships as the end all be all now us we've done that well you a bum I don't I don't believe I don't believe guys are bum if you don't win a championship I just believe and I've been on record and I still believe this I believe you can be great
Starting point is 00:42:42 without a ring but when we want us to add EST to it, you got to have that. And that's not to diminish anybody that doesn't have that. Because someone asked me, said, well, Shannon, which would you rather have?
Starting point is 00:42:56 A Super Bowl ring or a Hall of Fame ring? I said, well, I ain't glad I got to make that decision. Yeah. I'm sitting pretty where I am. well, I ain't glad I got to make that decision. I'm sitting pretty where I am. Well, hold on.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I got a ring, too. And I got a jacket. You about to have a wedding band. Yeah, I got my own jacket. I got one-on-one. Yeah. But so, people like, oh, he wasn't no no
Starting point is 00:43:26 are you trying to tell me because Dan Marino didn't win a Super Bowl ring he wasn't one of the great quarterbacks but the reason why they don't put him like as the greatest is because you got Brady and you got Montana and you got Mahomes and you got
Starting point is 00:43:42 Manning and you got Elway with those rings and Bradshaw so you got Mahomes and you got Manning and you got Elway with those rings and Brad Shaw so you got guys with rings and multiples but Marina but Dano I played with Dano I played in Dano's era sometimes
Starting point is 00:43:57 it's unfair how we take a team accomplishment and it's not, how do I say it the right way? Super Bowl ring, a ring, it's obviously it's a team accomplishment. So sometimes it's out of individual players' control. Just so happened, maybe you're part of that team that happens to go. I don't know it just it's weird how that works and how it's looked upon where you're you're you're you're
Starting point is 00:44:31 seen in a different light as a as an individual based on a team accomplishment yeah when it took a whole group to get it as opposed to you as the individual but you don't put that they sometimes when we talk about the greatest quarterbacks, they don't put Dan Marino in it because of a team accomplishment that his team wasn't able to achieve, but other quarterbacks were. If that makes...
Starting point is 00:44:54 I don't know if I said it the right way. But that's just... Well, that's just the way we do it now. That's just the way that rings... You know, we had that debate that rings. I mean, in order to be in the discussion, I think you have to have at least one. Now, it's not the end-all be-all.
Starting point is 00:45:16 Right, right, right. But I think in order to be considered great test, you need a championship because that's why you play. There's a reason why name a sport that doesn't have an, you need a championship. Because that's why you play. There's a reason why. Name a sport that doesn't have an end of the year championship. Name the sport. Be it ultimate frisbee, be it what that is, cornhole.
Starting point is 00:45:36 They got tag. They got all kinds. Ocho, you know right, I watched on ESPN, they got pillow fighting now. Yeah. They got pillow fighting. I would, yeah. They got pillow fighting. I was the champ because I used to beat the brace. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:51 They got pillow fighting. But at the end of the year, what did they have? A thing called a championship. Yeah. So if it didn't matter, they wouldn't have those, Ocho. Football, Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, the Olympics. What do they say? The finals.
Starting point is 00:46:07 They have gold, silver, bronze. There's a reason. Look at Osafo Powell have all those fast times and got no goals to show for it. So how can I say he the greatest when he ain't got no goals? Right. If Usain Bolt, nobody would consider Usain Bolt the greatest sprinter without those gold medals. You got to have them.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah. There have been a lot of great sprinters. There have been guys that hold the world record that didn't have gold medals. We got to remember those are individual accolades, though. They're in control of their destiny. Now, when we talk about basketball or we talk about football, those are team achievements. But then when it comes to talking about it,
Starting point is 00:46:55 it's talked about in an individual manner, like it's just the quarterback that got it done when it took a team effort to get it done. It still took that same team to get you that MVP. It was a team. Did he not took that same team to get you that MVP. It was a team. Did he not play? So did he not play on the team to get that MVP? Or was he just playing by himself?
Starting point is 00:47:10 And then once we got to the finals, we needed a team. Right. You're right. You're right. That's a good combo. That's a real good combo. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast, NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal.

Starting point is 00:48:48 Puka revealed that he's been training with teammate Cooper Cupp. His conditioning days were some of the tougher ones. The 22-year-old admitted Cupp was ready to get right before the Super Bowl. He's already starting integration to get ready to work out. A lot of mobility
Starting point is 00:49:03 stuff the first part. then continue to stay explosive a lot of top end speed we're working on the first I came back I think I threw up every day of the week he wasn't a fan of that because he was
Starting point is 00:49:15 he was on his lawn Pook also revealed that he's changing his diet during the season cutting back on some of the fast foods I think Cooper would definitely not advise me
Starting point is 00:49:23 to eat McDonald's as much as I did during the season. He wasn't a fan of that. Ha ha! I see. This is what's wrong. This is what's wrong with us at times. We allow others to influence us.
Starting point is 00:49:38 We allow others to get in the way. And it's the same thing. Tiger, when he was playing extremely well You see what he did off the field, right? Yeah Stay with me real quick You see what he did off the field
Starting point is 00:49:49 And then once that diminished It seemed like everything else diminished with it Now Puka Nakua I need you to pay attention Look at the season you had last year Yeah Understand your nutrition and your intake And what you consume
Starting point is 00:50:04 Throughout the entirety of the season and the numbers you put up. Now you go around and you come back the following season trying to change up the whole scenario and change up what you did, which was working. If it ain't broke, there's no need to fix it. Regardless of what Cooper Cupp says or might say or advise you do what works for you, do what works for your body Okay, we'll try it out then. He said I'm going to try it out. I'm going to try to go with no fast food. No, no, no, no. Oh, whoa,
Starting point is 00:50:34 whoa, whoa. Don't even, don't try it. So you'd add nothing. If you had a season like that eating the way you do stay within your What if I could have a better season? No, you wouldn't have a better season. How you know?
Starting point is 00:50:48 Because what you eat don't make or break you. Yeah, it does. Made it time. No, it don't. Made it time. I ain't never get tired. No, it don't.
Starting point is 00:50:58 No, it don't. No, it don't. There you go, Cooper. Gotta be willing to switch it up. No, you don't And you know what If his numbers Are not reflective
Starting point is 00:51:08 Of what they were last year It's because of The goddamn nutrition First of all He might have a better season But not have the numbers That he had I ain't trying to hear that
Starting point is 00:51:18 I ain't trying to hear all that So numbers is the key So that's what you're telling me When it's time to get paid They gonna use the numbers. So numbers is the key. So that's what you're telling me. When it's time to get paid, they're going to use the numbers. Yes, numbers is the key. Thank you. Ain't that what you always say? He's going to get paid, don't you?
Starting point is 00:51:33 When it's time to get paid, they're going to look at the numbers. And when you was eating McDonald's, the numbers was astronomical. He said I cut it out. Is that a word? Was that a word? Yeah, astronomical. Okay, I'm just making sure it was a word. I made that shit up on the fly.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Yeah. He said, I ain't eating that McDonald's like that no more. No, no. He said he's not going to eat as much of it, but he's still going to eat it. No, he said he's not going to eat as much fast food. Yeah. Oh, he's still going to eat it, though.

I'm going to tweet him. Don't change no goddamn diet. Hell, no. I made that look. I ate a certain way. I mean, to each his own. But there's a reason why they hired

Stop eating like a goddamn jackrabbit, and you play a goddamn sport where you run into each other at 30 miles an hour, and you... You know what? Don't worry. Ain't nobody going to listen to me.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Y'all keep... Y'all keep... Listen, y'all keep eating green... There you go. There you go. That's what you're doing. Hey, keep eating your green stuff. Keep eating all that healthy stuff, and wonder why your body and Y'all keep, y'all keep, listen, y'all keep eating green. There you go, that's what you're doing. Hey, keep eating, keep eating green stuff. Keep eating all that healthy stuff and wonder why your body and y'all keep getting hurt. Keep eating it.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Watch what happens. And nothing but a money grab. That's all it is. Oh, you got to eat this and you got to eat this, right? And it help with performance.
Starting point is 00:53:40 It help with explosion and all this other stuff. And you're pulling this and you're pulling that. You can't run. you can't explode. Man, please, don't get me started. I'm hot. Now I'm mad.
Starting point is 00:53:54 What you mad at? What you upset about? Because, I mean, I'm just, they allow all these new stuff and technology and food and all this green and all this this is healthy, that is healthy. You ain't playing Nintendo 64. Why you ain't playing Nintendo 64?
Starting point is 00:54:09 What was wrong with Nintendo 64? Why you got all them gaming apparatuses? Why you got that chair? Why you got all those monitors? If you saw against advancement Where's the advancement? If everybody's going backwards. Everybody getting hurt. Everybody don't get hurt. Where's the advancement? If everybody's getting, everybody is going backwards. Everybody getting hurt.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Everybody don't get hurt. Where's the advancement? Injuries, injuries are up. I believe the injuries are up because guys aren't practicing. No, no, no,
Starting point is 00:54:36 no, no, no, don't try, don't try. Stop trying to say, so you mean to tell me, so you mean to tell me guys don't do no kick,
Starting point is 00:54:43 no, no hitting and just go out there on Sundays? They hit on Wednesdays. They don't hit nothing. Oh, I can't. I don't going to put no practice. You only get, what, 13 padded practices a season? Hold on.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Hold on. So you're saying the reason they're getting hurt is because they're not hitting? I tell you, you're not going to blame them eating like. No. Look, it might be a combination. But here's the thing No. Look, it might be a combination. But here's the thing, Ocho. It might be a combination. It might be not hitting.
Starting point is 00:55:10 It might be overtraining. Ocho, this guy, he said Cooper Cup was ready to start training before the Super Bowl. The season just ended. You got to give your body some recoverability. I don't like it. Eat what you want. Understand what works for you. Understand your body. Injuries up, and I know why
Starting point is 00:55:35 injuries up. It's because the bullshit they putting in our system. That's it. I have nothing else to say. You got to find food. But anyway, Kevin Durant said the key to healthy season was avoiding floppers and crash dummies. Tonight, Kevin Durant was included in what are reported 11 players projected to lead U.S. basketball into the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics.
Starting point is 00:55:56 The Team USA is finalizing 11 of its 12-man roster. Kurt Roge, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Jason Tatum, Devin Booker, Holiday, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo, Tyrese Halliburton. They have room for one more. That inclusion was anything but a surprise, but KD is coming
Starting point is 00:56:15 off a strong season in which he also played in 78 of 82 games for Phoenix. With the backdrop, KD spoke to the Arizona Republic and delivered some unbelievable quotes that helped lead to durability. No players flopped into my legs this year. Last two years, I had a teammate
Starting point is 00:56:31 flopped into me and an opponent flopped into me two straight years and caused me MCL injuries. If it wasn't for that, I probably would be out there the same amount of games, but I'm glad nobody flopped. Just stay away from crash dummies, you know. These dudes who try to sell calls don't mind hurting people by diving on the floor and trying to sell a call i know who those guys are i try to stay away from them like katie calling
Starting point is 00:56:55 our team mason and some of the other guys that flopped into his knees because that caused lebron james lebron james one year i believe was having an m season. Yeah. And I think the guy was, I hate to mention your name, Solomon Hill. All of a sudden, he's diving on the floor like he tried to make the team and go right into LeBron's and end up messing up his ankle or his knee? Ankle. End up messing up his ankle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:17 And Damn. I mean, you're surprised. Think about how much they jump. And more guys don't come down on somebody's ankle. Yeah. Think about it.
Starting point is 00:57:31 I mean, I get it. It's just hard. And I understand, you know, some guys, that's how they made it into the league, diving. But going at a ball, like you said, it's not like KD has the most sturdiest foundation. The dude's seven foot tall. So you know what I'm saying, Ocho? You know, just a little tweak.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Mm-hmm. Oh, man. Damn. So what, you okay with him? Yeah, yeah. KD, I mean, KD cool. You know, I talk to him. He don't eat. He not one of them healthy eaters either. He ain't one of them healthy eaters.
Starting point is 00:58:06 That's my thought. I done been to five guys with Kevin. I done been to five guys with Durant down here in Miami. No, that one five guy. It's a little burger spot. So I know he flipped back and forth between eating what's right, and he got a combination of both, which is why he had... You see how skinny Kevin Durant is?
Starting point is 00:58:28 Yeah, but that's his frame. His frame is just like that. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do to that. Kevin Durant, I guarantee you, it could be raining downpour. Kevin Durant standing on the clothesline and not get wet. I'm just telling you what it is, though. I'm telling you now.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Saw it myself. Saw it. I mean, some guys just have that frame, no matter what they eat, Ocho. Right. I mean, look, we've all had teammates. I had teammates. They needed to go out on Friday
Starting point is 00:59:02 night. They were going to get drunk. Right. Hey, man, come on. Hey, Sean, look, shut up. I play better. All right. Long you do you. Hey, some guys ate what they wanted.
Starting point is 00:59:17 I wasn't that guy. In my mind, I had convinced myself, Ocho, that if I ate a certain way, I would perform better. The mind is a magnificent thing. Yeah, it is. It is, but that's how you became you because you believe you was better
Starting point is 00:59:35 than everybody else. That might have not been the case, but you couldn't tell Ocho that he wasn't. Oh, no. See? Oh, no. Hold on. I'm going to go out there and show you i'm gonna talk it and i'm gonna walk it and i'm gonna back it up everything everyone huh stop playing
Starting point is 00:59:51 with me now you know what it is i'm coming i'm coming to the party uninvited uninvited i'm now front door hello i'm here we finna have. Yeah, you ain't getting nothing today. I bet I'll leave with more catches than I had coming into the game. What you want to bet on that, Big Mouth? It was some fun days. Man, please, Ocho. Hey, don't get me hyped in here, man. Don't get me hyped, man.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I don't even know why you talking. First of all, why are you talking? You on special teams. You not going to even see me hype, man. I don't even know why you talking. First of all, why are you talking? You on special teams. You're not going to even see me on the field. Yeah. When you see me, I'm running off the field or running on or you running on. We'd never go, why are you talking?
Starting point is 01:00:35 You don't have to guard me. You're doing all that talking. Yeah. I had some fun days, man. You know what it's always like? It's like the dude, you're not driving the car. You're in the back seat or or you in the passenger seat, and you trying to holler.
Starting point is 01:00:47 It ain't even your car. First of all, if you in the backseat, you definitely shouldn't be trying to holler. Ain't nobody hollering nobody in the backseat. None. You don't like that? You ain't never did that? Oh, me?

Starting point is 01:01:26 you know, back then, Ocho, you could flag women down. They would stop. You ain't flagging, ain't no woman stopping for you. Now you flag them down,
