Starting point is 00:07:28 Oh Joe, let's get right into it. The Cowboys go on the road. Very, both defenses played really, really well tonight, 20 to 17. They went a wild game at the end. Both teams are now three and two give Dak press got a lot of credit. 29 or 42, three 52, two touchdowns, two interceptions. I say the mark of any great offense or defense. Can you get done what you need to get done when you absolutely positively have to
Starting point is 00:07:54 that press got got done, that office got done what they needed to get done. It took them fourth and go, but a great throw, a great catch. And they walk away with a 2017 victory. Ocho, what did you like about what you saw from the Cowboys? Listen, when it came to the Cowboys tonight, I didn't expect, obviously because of the conditions, the rain delay, I'm not sure what Cowboys we were going to get tonight. From a defensive standpoint, the Cowboys played better defense than they did all year.
Starting point is 00:08:21 This is kind of defense that I think if they had played in other games, they would have won. Dag Prescott being clutch, like you said, being clutch when he has to be clutch. When you got to make the plays, you say the game of football is all about moments when the moment arrives and he had to get it done. He got it done. Tolbert had a hell of a game. He has seven catches for 87 yards in the TD. Um, no, this is. had a hell of a game. He has seven catches for 87 yards in the TD.
Starting point is 00:08:50 No, this is, I don't know how to say it. I'm trying to say it without saying anything wrong. What we saw tonight from the Cowboys is perfect. Now what we don't need after tonight's performance in a hostile environment against a very, very good, very good team in the Steelers is we don't need, you know, who come and talk about. You know what I'm trying to say? I'm trying to, I'm trying to even jinx it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I only want to jinx it. Let Dac do the talking. Oh, Jerry talking. Maybe I already got Jerry. They already got Jerry Jerry before the, before they go into the locker room. They already got Jerry down at the front at the door. Listen, allow, allow that momentum, allow, allow that chemistry, allow all that to jail within the team and not how not allow him to come in and
Starting point is 00:09:35 interrupt things. Oh Joe, look, congratulations to the Cowboys, but they're not going to play very many offices that are as anemic as the Steelers. The office is anemic, Ocho. And I told you, this is the problem that they have. 28 rushes, 26 rushes, 92 yards. Justin Fields, 15 of 27, 131, Ocho. Ocho, you're not going to win very many games throwing the ball for 131. And today's NFL. Now, once upon a time, Ocho, you could win games like that. But it's harder and harder.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And as good as the Steelers' defense is, their front seven is good. Their back end is a little inexperienced. And you see they got out of position. Jalen Tovar ran a shallow cross from one side to the other. Elliott, like he was unsure. Bro, you got to get on your horses and beat him to the point So he was like do I got him? Damn, I don't know what I supposed to do and he like bro
Starting point is 00:10:33 Ocho that's gotta be a dead sprint Because he's on a shallow cross and you ride it. You got to realize you going over so you got me Ocho if he options back he got me Ocho. He got me. He got me. Okay. Hey, he got me, Ocho, if he options back, he got me, Ocho. He got he got me. Hey, he got me. They game plan me. But you got to think in that situation, they're probably not going to run the option because you don't want to run the chance of getting back in the back of the head because you don't know if they're coming with pressure or not. So more times than not is going to be on the dead run.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Elliott seemed unsure of himself, like, do I got him or not? And he wasn't booking it like he was supposed to book it. But I want to give him that credit, though, because Dak, I thought, played a well of a game. TJ Watt and what's the other linebacker? Hebring? Who is it? Yeah, Hebring. Herbig? What? How do you pronounce it? Is it Hebr her big. What? How the plastic is it? He bring a herbie. But anyway, they were, they were constantly in the backfield pressuring that. But that last drive showed me a lot. It showed me a lot.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I think the biggest thing that helped Jalen Tolbert is that CD lab was out right training camp and he got those reps. He looks like a different receiver from last year to this year. And sometimes all it takes is a guy getting reps to get his confidence. Like, yeah, I do belong. Yes, I'm supposed to be here and I can make plays. If you look at him now compared to where he was last year, Ocho, he looks like a different receiver.
Starting point is 00:12:03 You know, the good thing is, is that's not only a good thing for Justin Tolbert, but that's a good thing for that. Yeah. Now that he won't second guess itself when he know, you know what? I can't, I can't, I can't go to city lamb on this. Who are my other reliable targets that I can count on to make a play when I need a play to be made. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And Tolbert showed that tonight. And listen, stuff like that. That's always in your quarterback head. That's always in your quarterback head. That's always in your quarterback head. So now he won't hesitate. He won't hesitate to come to you next time. We know a play needs to be made. Dowdell played well.
Starting point is 00:12:34 He ran the ball 20 rushes, 87 yards, had a great touchdown catch. That did a great job of throwing the ball. But the biggest player of the night was that jumping on that fumble. Fumble. Yeah. Landon Roberts did a great job, put his helmet right on the football. That could have ended up badly, Ocho. That could have ended up real, real bad. We've seen plays like that happen before.
Starting point is 00:12:53 But give that credit. Didn't try to do anything spectacular. Let me just get on this football. We got another down. Let's see what we can get done and give him credit. But the Steelers going to have to open Ocho. You can't play it close to the vest. You can't play it close to the vest like that and hope at the end,
Starting point is 00:13:11 your defense hangs on. So what you're saying, we're going to have to open up the offense. Fifth to nine. You're not Ocho. You're not going to win very many football games with 200. With 225 total yards. You know who they could open up the office with? Who? Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Oh, kind of like the Broncos over the top with Bo Nicks. Oh, nevermind. But we'll talk about that a little later. We're going to talk about them a little later. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you see the Broncos, 34 straight on the Raiders. Hadn't beaten the Raiders since 2019. Oh, whoa Whoa, we talked about the Raiders now. Come on. Don't don't do that. I
Starting point is 00:13:50 Don't think they play football. That's what you tell me all the time when I be saying that come on You got you got a little bit too much dip on your chip man So they don't play foot so Oakland don't play NFL football huh I mean they do they do. Oh you know they're going through some things right now you know you know they're going through some things right now so I really wouldn't really wouldn't get too hyped and confident about about when you're hyped because I know somebody got a better record than you know who but we're not talking about that we're gonna get to that a little later.
Starting point is 00:14:21 know who, but we're not talking about that. We go get to that a little later. Anyway, the Cowboys three and two now, they're three and, uh, uh, 20, 2017 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. They go on the road Sunday night football and they went a hard fought ball game. And now I think they come home to Detroit. I think their next game was against the lions. A team that can run it cowboys. So at home, yes, against the lions. That's that could run it. Cowboys, so at home.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yes, against the Lions. That's gonna be a challenge. Yeah. It's gonna be a difficult challenge. Especially on defense. Well, you gotta be solid. You gotta be solid in the run game. Then you gotta be on point in the pass game.
Starting point is 00:15:02 They gonna test your all game and all three phases of the game. The Lions are nice. They do a great job. Obviously, you say the one-two punch with Montgomery and Gibbs running the football, but they stress you horizontally and vertically because Jameson Williams can get down the field in a hurry. And now they got those down, they got those horizontal on my St. Brown and they got other
Starting point is 00:15:24 guys that can get the ball They signed Tim Patrick who's doing well LaPorta. So there are very there are very Vast offense that can do a lot of different things. They're not a plate They're not afraid to take your chances down the field. They're not afraid to open up their playbook This is gonna be a very big test for the Cowboys But it's all going to be a test for the Lions defense because the Lions defense a little on the back end, they can get a little shaky too at times.
Starting point is 00:15:51 So it's going to be very interesting to see how this thing plays out. But give the Cowboy credit. They go on the road, get a hard fought victory 2017 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cowboys next six games at home against the Lions at 49ers at Falcons at home against the Eagles at home against the Texans at Washington. Hey, that next four or five, that's a gauntlet. That could be a make or break for them. Uh, the Lions, uh, they didn't, they got Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:16:22 Didn't they got Sunday night against the, uh, against the 49ers, the app Falcons, they got Eagles, uh, they got that Monday night. It looks like it's a Monday night game against the Texans. And then they got the commanders who's playing exceptionally well. So very well. Cowboys get a mug, get a win. They needed it. Um, now they're three and two Pittsburgh fall to three and two
Starting point is 00:16:44 and a tie with the Ravens the Ravens beat the Bengals in overtime 4138 Lamar Jackson spearheaded the comeback double digits multiple times in the fourth quarter But Lamar Jackson would not let this team lose Lamar picked apart the banged up bingo secondary to the tune of 348 yards he also had passed before touchdowns and he rushed for 55 yards. In the first five periods of the game, the Ravens put up 520 yards on 31st down. They needed every one of the big division wins. After the game, Burrow said it was frustrating that a team that
Starting point is 00:17:17 started the year with title aspirations is nowhere close. We're not a championship level team right now. We're not. I like to think that we'll come back and prove throughout the season to get to that point. But right now we're not. We have to get it together. Ocho, do you want to play and change your playoff prediction? No, no, not at all. Not at all. Listen, we in a hole, huh?
Starting point is 00:17:39 But we in a hole. I feel bad as a Bango fan, as a Bango player, as a former player. The game was good though. Offensively the game was good. It was good to see that offense look like it should have looked starting in week one. It was good to see that bangle's offense.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Look how they always look by the time they get to week three and so on. Defense, still a little shaky. Still a little shaky. A little shaky? Well, I, still a little shaky. Still a little shaky. A little shaky? Well, I mean, we shaky shaky. We shaky shaky. I don't know what the statistics or the stats are,
Starting point is 00:18:13 but we might be, when it comes to stopping the run or end the pass, we might be damn that at the bottom half of the league, at the bottom half of the league, in both of those categories. But from an off-finger standpoint, what you saw from T Higgins today, what you saw from Yoshi, what you saw from, from goddamn Jamar chase, who's showing you that's why you pay him.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Even if he has two years on his contract, I can take the ball. I can take small smoke screens and take him 70 something yards. I can go deep. I can do everything no matter where we at. Just put the ball in those hands. Then we get the overtime. When we get to overtime, you have a $250 million fucking quarterback. That's not the time to play conservative. You put the ball in your $250 million quarterbacks hands and allow him to win you the game when it matters most.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Like you said, the game of four all is all about moments and a moment like that, and a game that you need to win an important division game to allow your $250 million quarterback to earn that goddamn check. Whoa, whoa. Hold on, all game, all game. Y'all, they be killing me. All game on all game. Yeah, we're all game.
Starting point is 00:19:26 We've been very successful. We dish and we dish and we Duncan. We do it everything. But all of a sudden, when it matters most, everybody has got tight. You run the ball three times in a row. Hold on. Now you run the ball three times in a row, right?
Starting point is 00:19:43 And you put the pressure on McPherson to make a 50-yard field goal when you can just ran a normal offense. You've been running all game. That's been working all game. Open up your playbook. You got your quarterback. Come on, man.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I went hot. Why are we conservative and we supposed to be trying to win the game? You already won in three. Throw the kids a sink at them motherfuckers, man. Damn. It's allers, man. Damn. It's all about your offense. Godly. I'm looking at some of the goddamn stats.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Hey, touchdown passes. Joe Burrow 12. He leading the NFL. Passing rating, Joe Burrow first 113.8. He leading the NFL in completion percentage. Joe Burrow 72.2%, he's second. Pass yards 1370, he's third. 40 plus completions, yardage.
Starting point is 00:20:38 He's tied for first. So what does that tell you? What does that tell you just based off the stats and what he's doing at the quarterback position despite it not reflecting what the record may show? When he has the ball in his hands, he's getting it done from a quarterback perspective It's just not enough because we motherfucking won it for but again and overtime What do we do? We take the ball out the man's hands and we give it to the running back Three times first down second down third down. and we give it to the running back. Three times, first down, second down, third down.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Are we not trying to win the game? Are we running the ball? Why playing conservative in that? Come on, man. Give it at least give us a chance. At least, at least give us a chance. I mean, we paid him that kind of money for a reason. Can I ask you a question?
Starting point is 00:21:23 What role did that interception play in the Ravens getting back into this ball game and getting into overtime? It played a big role. It played a big role. Listen, when you, when you say something, I'm with you when you're right. You can't, you can't make those kinds of mistakes. You can't make those kind of costly mistakes. And the fact that they made that mistake,
Starting point is 00:21:48 I think that's another reason why they took the ball out his hands and ran the goddamn ball over time to make sure the mistake didn't happen again. What do I do? So I just want to know why Bingo fans mad at me because I point things out. Oh, OK, OK, OK. I just want to know why y'all mad it mean. Oh, they got five touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Okay, Ocho, you know your defense currently is not playing very good. The last thing you can do is turn that ball over. Right. You can't do that. So now keep moving it, keep moving the ball down the field. Even if you set up for a field goal, now they need a touchdown to beat you, as opposed to a field goal to tie you. Right. The five touchdowns, yes, he's playing well. At last, the difference is, what,
Starting point is 00:22:37 are you gonna blame Joe Burrow? Last week, he set up for field goals. He got two field goals before he got those three touchdowns. The Washington commanders got touchdowns when he was getting field goals, they were getting touchdowns. That's the difference, okay? They had two double digit leads in the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:22:58 At one point time, the score was 24 to 10. 24, 14, let me take that back, 24, 14, 14, 24 14 because the Ravens, it was 14 nine. They got a touchdown to what? Yes. It was 24 14 in the fourth and Lamar Jackson went into that phone booth, changed into that cake and became Superman again. At some point in time, Ocho is not at the, you, you can look at the numbers. We used to kill Peyton.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Peyton had gotty numbers every year and everybody would say stats are for losers. Because Tom Brady would throw for 200 yards and win the ball game. Peyton have 300. Peyton will play a team. He throw for three, 400 yards. They lose stats off for losers. But it's funny how it changed. If we like somebody.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Joe Burrow is a very likable guy. I've met him a couple of times. He's great. He's a great young man. But at the end of the day, Ocho, you know what it comes down to. You can't make those kinds of mistakes that he made knowing that my defense is not very good currently.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Because think about it, if they're going up and down the field driving seven and 80 yards, what the hell you think you gonna do if you put them on a short field? They go get the ball to end zone. They got very conservative. He scared them. Zach Taylor got scared.
Starting point is 00:24:18 He turned the ball over late in the fourth quarter. They tied a ball game. And now instead of, Ocho, instead of like going for it, they pull the reins back. But you can't do that though. Listen, from a coach standpoint, listen, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm in no position because I ain't no goddamn coach. All I do is play goddamn Madden, but from the outside looking and understanding
Starting point is 00:24:41 how we're doing as a team collectively, understand how our defense is not really playing well. No, they're not. They're not playing well. They're not playing well against the run. They're not playing well against the pass. Who do I put the ball? Who do I put it in his hand? He's, he's, even, even, even with the mistake, even with the mistake of the
Starting point is 00:24:59 turnover in the fourth quarter, you have no choice. There's a reason we paid him the money. We paid him because money we paid him. Correct. Because at times like that, in moments like this, when we need a win, you put it in his hands. The offense had been looking good all goddamn day. Just run your regular offense.
Starting point is 00:25:17 You can't pull the reins and then have your ass tight when it matters most because that gets you beat. It does. That got us beat. Even with the pick, we had the opportunity to win the game. I mean, Joe was 30 or 39, 392 five touchdown. He normally plays well against the Ravens. I think he has a 500 yard passing day.
Starting point is 00:25:36 He has a 400 something yard passing day. So he normally plays well. But, uh, in that situation in your running game, Oh, show 23 for 71. You really haven't now. I'm not saying it's not gonna get better, but as of right now, you haven't replaced Joe Mixon. What he gave you in the run game, you had a couple of false starts that set you back behind the eight ball, killed some of your momentum.
Starting point is 00:26:01 But you just gotta find a way to win these games. T and Chase were unbelievable. They had 276 yards combined on 19. They had 16 targets. No, they had 12. 26 targets. 19 catches. 276 and four touchdowns. Well, your star guys, skill position players, they did what they were supposed to be. They did what they were supposed to do. They did the thing. Sometimes it comes down to one play, an interception now, because you probably you might have could have run the clock out, because the one thing I don't want to have happen with the way I see Lamar Jackson
Starting point is 00:26:36 playing, I don't want to give the ball back, Coach. Oh, no, I don't want to get back to it. It's the guy Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, guys like that. Okay, hold up, man, man, damn, they done came back. They only one score down. We can't give them that ball back. He gonna find a way. Now, first of all, you got, that was a face mask on Andrews. You got face mask on, and the referee standing right, the official standing right there, side judge, and didn't call it. Andrews is his thing, he's getting tackled. He came up off of it fast now.
Starting point is 00:27:08 I think it was Pratt. I think it was Pratt making the tackle, huh? Yeah. He was making the tackle. Andrew was screaming. Andrew's got the ball in one hand, he face masked me. He face masked me. But it was a very exciting game.
Starting point is 00:27:22 This is what, you know, shoot out in the AFC North, we don't normally get games like this. It's normally a black and blue division. It was normally more physical. Uh, but when you got these types of quarterbacks, Ocho, and I don't want to pat myself on the back. But what did I tell the Ravens how to use Derrick Henry and over time, you tell the people at home and over time what they did, either shoot him downhill, shoot him downhill, straight downhill, a gap, B gap, or just toss it to him with a full back in front.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Put him in the eye. But yeah, put him in the eye. You exactly what they did on that goddamn toss sweep.

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba.
Starting point is 00:29:45 I shook up the world. James Brown said, said love. And Mekia said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important that anything else is going on in the world at the time made this fight as important
Starting point is 00:30:05 that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be. We all came from the continent of Africa.

And our podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Both Nate and I are journalists who moonlight as poker players. We've both won and I have to say lost hundreds of thousands of dollars playing poker. And poker is a lens that we're going to use to approach this entire show because poker isn't just about playing cards. It's actually about how to make good decisions. It's an entire framework for thinking about the world. In addition to poker, we'll be talking about the wide world of gambling, so sports betting, for example, plus the news, politics, it is an election year, and personal decisions too.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself. Tune into Risky Business every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packer star Kabir Vajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. HGV explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Listen to Spiral'd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Derrick Henry is a long strider. Yeah. You put him in the offset, he's four yards from the line of scrimmage. He doesn't get a chance to adequately read it. His heels need to be at eight yards. Put that Ricard who weighs 300 pounds at the fullback, put him in front of it and say, so I'm picking a hole.
Starting point is 00:33:04 Oh yeah. And he go. And soon they put him in front of him and say, so I'm picking a hole. Oh yeah. And he go, and soon they put him in the offset the first play, they line his ass up in the second play, off to the races he go. It's not that, and I get it, I get it. Because Lamar works best with the offset, the zone read scheme, he needs that threat,
Starting point is 00:33:22 he wants that threat, I get it. But to maximize both of them, because with the toss and the fake handoff, when he's in that high, guys are gonna be wide open. Guys are gonna be wide open. But it was Lamar played, Lamar can't play any better than what he played.
Starting point is 00:33:39 26 to 42, 3.48, four touchdowns, only one set. And the play that went to Lively. Yeah. That was a nice play. I think the one that he fumbled on, Joe, because the clock was running down. I don't know if he thought they was gonna call a timeout or he wanted to get one more look at the defense. Because they snapped the ball,
Starting point is 00:34:04 the ball hit him in the chest. In the chest. It went right through his hands a little bit. Right through his hands. He wasn't ready ready. Maybe he was trying to get one last peek at the defense, Ocho's like, okay, I think that's what they gonna do right here.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Or maybe he didn't anticipate it because the last thing you wanna do is take a delay game right there, Ocho, back yourself up five yards. And it looked like he went in looking to pick it up like he did the likely play earlier. Remember he fumbled that one. He really did pick it up. That was nice. That was nice.
Starting point is 00:34:33 But they dodged a bullet because he probably would have like, man, he was a problem that that's on me. I got I got to be prepared. I'm calling for the snap. I got to be prepared for the snap. But fortunately for them, they dodged a bullet. Joe Burrow Lamar outdo Joe Burrow. If you can say that Joe Burrow 30 or 39, three 92, five touchdown. The one costly turnover.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Uh, they scored 38 Lamar Jackson, 26 or 42, three 48, four touchdown, clean game. Well, he had to turn over, so I'm sure they're gonna attribute that turnover to him. Zay Flowers, seven for 111. Kohler played well today. Bateman played well today. Andrews, this is the best. Mark Andrews has looked since he returned from that broken ankle. Ocho, likely is likely.
Starting point is 00:35:21 He's gonna make his plays. He can start for a lot of different teams. And King Henry. King Henry's King Henry Damn they want you. Oh Joe Levin carries for 30 yards and regulation what that man's supposed to do with that He's not on that. He's not one of those backs. He's a back that the more you give him the ball Mm-hmm the heart he's like a diesel engine. The longer he runs, the cooler it gets. So the more you give Derek Henry, the ball. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Now I'm starting to get warm. He don't feel warm to the 15 carry. Yeah. What are you doing? A 15 carry old joke. They haven't even went to the house. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:01 We play, we play the run really well. We play, we play, play the run really well. We played, we played, played the run really well. I think that's why, you know, from a, from a, from a passing standpoint, why Lamar looks so good because he actually can, he can pass. The fact that you have Derek Henry, it just adds an additional threat to that offense outside of this, not Lamar's legs, but to his arm, to his arm as well. So, I mean, in no means are they one dimensional,
Starting point is 00:36:27 but Lamar did play a damn near almost perfect game outside of that one fumble that hit his chest. And actually we should have, when it comes to us, for some reason we always bangle. We always bangle. Y'all got one, don't you know, remember Huntley? Remember Huntley in the playoffs? Oh, the guy picked it up in with, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:47 The scuba score? Yeah, because he tried to go over the top, it got punched out, and your guy ran it all the way back. So y'all don't know. Yeah, you right. Y'all don't normally botch those. That would normally go through the house. But Gil Lamar, he scrambled around, hit the guy,
Starting point is 00:37:04 gave his office alignment enough time to get back there and recover and make the tackle, because that Lamar, he scrambled around, hit the guy, gave his offensive lineman enough time to get back there and recover and make the tackle. Because that would have been the ball game because obviously that's overtime. And so a walk up any score is the ball game. After rushing for 175 yards against the Bengals, the Ravens have outrushed their opponent by at least 100 yards in all five games this season. That's the longest such streak by any team to start a season since 1933 when yardage was fully tracked. They have now out rushed their opponents by 754 yards. Out rushed them.
Starting point is 00:37:39 I ain't say out gained them in total yards. They out rushed them. Yeah. that's crazy hey that that would hurt though man that would hurt all right hey Ravensbane aren't y'all glad Jerry couldn't find no money for King Henry damn man hey at 104 it's it's it's never been done before. What? But if, I mean, at 104. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, please make the...
Starting point is 00:38:09 Do you say playoffs is off the table? No, no, no, no, no, no, because they take seven teams. Yeah. Listen, we got the Giants next to we got the Browns. Now, to me, and this is no disrespect to those organizations, what they have going on. The Giants, they won the day against the Seahawks. Went on the road and did it. I'm assuming it's a possible win. The Browns really not playing well, but again, it's a division opponent.
Starting point is 00:38:36 You know each other very well. So those games most of the time are close and really aren't blowouts. So I'm hoping, you know, those are two wins that we can get and get us to, you know, a better record than we're than we're at now. Hopefully we're three and four, you know, after after the at the seven game. So man, it's tough, man. Yeah. Oh, Joe, who talks more trash, bingles, players or the fans? Because remember, Britt was talking, Chase said,
Starting point is 00:39:07 everybody know we're the team to beat. Nobody goes into the season and the AFC is thinking the Bingo's are the team to beat. Let's take a listen at this video. Beat your ass tomorrow. What's his gonna go? What's his gonna go? What's his gonna beat us? Who day? The Bingo! Woo!
Starting point is 00:39:27 Shake it, shake it, girl! Ah! Shake it, shake it, girl! Yo, I'm gonna get hugged! See how y'all behave, Ocho? Who that was? I don't know who that was. That's some fan. Now she's a little tipsy, got her hands all on the man.
Starting point is 00:39:42 You see how y'all behave? Listen, one thing you gotta believe in your team, just like you believe in the Broncos. You gonna talk your ass? I ain't gonna be putting my hands all on the play of that play for the opposing team. Tell them, yeah, we gonna beat y'all and we gonna beat y'all ass. Hey, listen.
Starting point is 00:39:58 You know what that's called? That's called sportsmanship. That ain't called sportsmanship. That's called sportsmanship. Keep your hands to yourself. Huh? Keep your hands to yourself. Damn that was a good game man. I'm, I'm, I'm, but, I'm a damn man.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Oh, get out of here. When you gonna run me my Hyundai? No. I cash out for you right now. I ain't got no cash out. You got cash out for Ash? Ash got it. You got it?
Starting point is 00:40:17 Jordan got it. Send Jordan money. We'll get you the money. Jordan give it to me. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm not gonna give it to you. I'm Ash Ash got it. George you guys there. George got it. Send Jordan money
Starting point is 00:40:26 We'll get you the money Jordan give it to me. All right, I got you but I knew money out of sight calls a fight every time Listen ain't gonna be no fighting. I'm saying i'm saving these hands for one person in particular, you know a former stealer so i'm Waiting on that bad. Oh, it's your bad. Y'all y'all gotta get. Bad. Oh, Joe, bad. Y'all, y'all got to get it together. Oh, Joe. Yeah, man. Hey, listen. I mean, listen, I watch football and I love it because I'm invested into it as far as, you know, enjoying it. When we ran that ball on first down and then we came back again and ran it on second down. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:03 I said I sat back in my chair, I say, I know we not doing this. I know we not doing this and making a mistake and putting all the pressure on McPherson to kick a 50-yard field goal. You mean we not gonna run out often just to make the field goal a little bit more feasible even though he has a good leg, he has a strong leg,
Starting point is 00:41:21 he's efficient from 50 yards and plus out. Why make it that much more difficult for him? And lo and behold. That but that wasn't even close, though, Joe. That wasn't even close. Right. The placeholder dropped the ball. He did. He dropped the ball. Nervous. Nervous. How you nervous? That's your only.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I ain't going to say nothing. I only I don't say nothing. I ain't gonna say nothing, but you're right. You're right. That's what you're gonna do. That's what y'all did. They what y'all gonna do. That's what y'all did. Ready?
Starting point is 00:41:56 Three straight times. If I'm not a reporter, I'm not a reporter. But from the outside, looking in as a concern, not just for my player, but as the outside looking in as a concern, not just form a player, but as a concern fan in situations like that, you have to put your trust in your quarterback, even with the mistake that happened in the fourth quarter, you're paying that kind of money for a reason. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Run the office. We've been running the entire game, even in overtime, even in overtime, you got to put the ball in trust in Joe's hands in that situation. I guarantee you we come out with that win. Hey, Ravens, y'all want to send me a small donation for recommending how y'all should use Derek Henry. I accept all I said bitcoins, US regulation coins, pennies, dins, Penny's Dive, Nichols Quarters, Kennedy Half Dollars, Silver Dollars, and Susan B. Anthony Dollars.
Starting point is 00:42:50 So any of the domination will work for me. Ocho, now it's time for our next segment, Gas on Grass, brought to you by our friends at Scott's Lawn Care.

Today's most electric touchdown play of the day came deep in the fourth quarter and courtesy we can't show it because we're not paying $2 million to show you this video. Lamar Jackson, Bob of the snap.
Starting point is 00:43:50 He's still farm Sam Hubbard, not once, but twice as he's running, rolling off balance, falling out of bound. He discarded a pass. Russia took a shot to the face, extended a play and threw a touchdown pass to Isaiah likely. How Lamar how? You saw it. You know Jack. Listen, I tweeted it too. I Say I tweeted it too when the game was going I say well god damn it Lamar just won't go away. That young bull is Unbelievable. I've been watching Lamar. He was at Boyden Beach High School.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I used to go. Why I used to go and watch just to see like he was a superstar. He was a superstar back then. What are you doing in NFL now? I've been seeing that before he even got to Louisville. He was doing the same thing at Boyden Beach. But he don't eat a real deal, man. I just, man, that hurt, man. We had an opportunity.
Starting point is 00:44:44 We had it right here. It was it was it was in our hands. And I was man that hurt man. We had an opportunity. We had it right here. It was it was it was it was in our hands. And I was at Twin Peaks. They you know, I watched the football game to Twin Peaks because they put on multiple TVs for the one o'clock games. Yeah. At once. So I you know, so I can enjoy them. Right. There was a table of Ravens fans that sat that sat adjacent to me
Starting point is 00:44:59 where I was sitting, you know, about two, three tables over. And every time we made a play, you know, I look on Daniel. I look on Daniel. I ain't talking no trash now. I ain't told him track is I ain't want to put my foot in my mouth. And we, when we recovered that fumble, we covered that from an overtime. I told the waitress, I like, uh, miss, you could put this, this coconut ice. You can give me a to go cup of styrofoam cup right before they kick the bar. I went over to the section and I sat there and I just smile.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I didn't even say that. I just smiled because we're going to get this kick and we're going to win. When that goddamn place over bobbed that snap and he got down and all the Raven fans went crazy, I would hurt. Yeah, I would. That that crazy. I would hurt. Yeah. That hurt. That hurt. Because you know, the momentum swung.
Starting point is 00:45:50 You guys had the momentum after Lamar fumbled the ball in overtime. Now you guys got the momentum. Heartbreaker. Moving on, Texans overcome miscues and escape on the last second field goal, a 59 yard field goal as time expired, beating the Buffalo Bills 23 to 20.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Houston got off to a hard start, sprinting to a 14-3 first quarter lead, 67 yard bomb from CJ Stroud to Nico Collins. But Nico suffered a hamstring injury and missed the rest of the game. Without the big play target, Stroud offense struggled with consistency for the rest of the game. Without the big play targets, Stroud offense struggle with consistency for the rest of the game. The offense put up 425 yards, but only nine points in the final three quarters. It says a lot that D'Amico Ryan clubs haven't played a complete game, but it's still four and one. Sunday marks the worst passing day of Josh Allen's career. He completed nine of 30 passes for 131 yards in a touchdown. The 30% completion rate was a career low
Starting point is 00:46:50 for a star quarterback and the lowest percentage in a game with at least 30 attempts in the past 30 seasons. Allen has never had a sub 40 rate before today. Here's Stefan Diggs on what it meant to get the win over his former team, the Bills. Honestly it meant a lot to me. Held it in all week energy wise. Trying not to bring it up too much. Obviously we had an interview earlier in the week. I just try to keep it professional but obviously in the background mind it meant a lot to me and I wanted to do more showing than telling.
Starting point is 00:47:18 You know I play with a lot of passion and a lot of love. I can't say I didn't think about this game when I got traded, you know? I wondered if we played it, and then obviously it was on a schedule. But I take it one game at a time, and I knew when this game came about, I was just trying to take advantage and get a win for my team.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But obviously it's emotional. I can play with a lot of emotions. I'm emotional. Josh Allen was God awful. Well, I know, Ocho ain't no way around it. If anybody else, if any quarterback, regardless of it being anybody, but anybody have nine of 30, 131 yards, we ripple and they had a chance to win Had he done anything Had he done anything?
Starting point is 00:48:12 They win this game or Joe they got to run yard 28 rushes 150 yards check Okay Wasn't the game out of hand at one point one to 24 10? Yeah, when 24 10 at one point. Yeah. And they couldn't get one more fugal or one more touchdown to extend that lead. And again, when it comes to having the right weapons around you and you don't have to be motherfucking Superman. We don't have to be Superman. He has to. Josh Allen has to put his cape on.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Josh Allen has to do everything. Oh, we don't need Stefan Diggs. Again, the numbers, the numbers, the numbers, the numbers look like that for a reason, man. It's different when you don't have a reliable target you can go to and count on every time you get under center Whether you're shotgun or whether you're under center, you know what come hell or hot water. Who can I count on every time? Who can I bet on every time?
Starting point is 00:49:17 If you think about it, oh Joe, they lost Gabe Davis And they lost digs. They're two starting wire receivers. So basically the only guy secure was the slot guy King came out can kick. Yeah He on Coleman is he coming oh, he's not there yet, but he's going to be he can be that that reliable target He can be that security bank of a Josh Allen, but a little bit more consistency. They got the integrated into the goddamn office more man. Yeah, you got you got you got to integrate him to the office.
Starting point is 00:49:52 I don't know. I don't know what they're doing over there, but it looks good. But they look good. But they know what they're doing over the island. But Josh has to play better. See, the thing is. We don't need him to be historic, but he can't be historically bad either. Let us think in now, think about how bad he was
Starting point is 00:50:13 in the only loss by a walk. They took a 59 yard field goal to beat him. So they have enough talent, don't you? They do, they have enough talent. But if he plays like that Yeah, they're not gonna beat anybody And he can't he can't he can't He can't he can't he can't play like that. He can't he didn't turn it over
Starting point is 00:50:37 He had some big runs, but you know, he got tremendous legs is a big man once he gets ahead of steam It's hard to get him down. Yeah, but they got to be better. They got to be better. It's really, it's really that simple. CJ, uh, 28 to 36, three 31, one touchdown, one of the exception. Um, Cam makers nine for 42, uh, Ogimbo, uh, a goon, the Wally was 15 or 30. Uh, hello. No, that was, uh, that was 15 or 30. Hello, no, that was in the other game. We'll get to that. CJ had three for 27.
Starting point is 00:51:09 But like you said, once Nico went out, now all of a sudden the big play to be able to push the ball down the field. Now, hey, we gonna let y'all work all that underneath stuff because now here's the thing. Once you get into the red zone, what you gonna run out the back of the end zone. Mm hmm.
Starting point is 00:51:26 It feels good. It gets condensed and condensed. It gets harder and harder to score. Red zone is not an easy place to score. People are all bad. You in the red zone, bro, where you going? They know you're not finna run no nine. Where you gonna run it?
Starting point is 00:51:40 Damn, man. Listen, the Texans pulled it out. The Texans pulled it out. The Texas pulled it out. See, they throughout see they throughout played. OK, he played OK. It wasn't a normal game that we used to see him from him. I don't like the
Starting point is 00:51:54 fact that the offense stalled damn there the entirety of the game after what? Maybe maybe the second or third quarter. They weren't able to put up put up the points, but they did move the ball just enough, you know, to be able to win the game. Yeah, they set up a field goal, Joe.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Yeah, what they have 14 points early in the first quarter and they got nine over the last three quarters. Right. Yeah. But. Somebody tell Nico Collins, how let me. The Vikings beat the Jets in London, the Vikings were in their bye week undefeated. Sam Donnell's five and O. Ocho, do the Vikings sign him to a long-term bill at a discount or, or they wait for JJ to come back.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Wait a minute there. Now see, this is perfect. This is perfect for Sam Donnell because you. Because you not putting together this type of season this early to stay with the Vikings. Right. Oh, there are teams that you are a former number one pick,
Starting point is 00:52:52 right? If I'm not mistaken, huh? Yeah, he's number three pick in the draft, I think. Oh yeah. He's number three behind Sam. He was number three. Baker went first, Saquon, and I think Sam Donnell was third. Number three? Okay, yeah, yeah. The only problem is you just went to the wrong team.
Starting point is 00:53:04 That's all. The wrong team drafted you just went to the wrong team. That's all. The wrong team drafted you. No, it's perfect. You said it earlier. It's perfect. Because he went to a team, and the guy gets hurt. He's not coming back. Now you give me an opportunity, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:53:16 to build a perfect portfolio. OK, OK. I know. I was saying what he had to do. Because think about it. I'm not going to be able to show you anything. Because J.J. McCarthy is going to start. So I'm not going to be able to show you anything. Guess what I. McCarthy is going to start. So I'm not going to be able to show you anything.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Guess what I get to do? I get to put together a portfolio over 17 games, potential to play off. OK, come get your boy. Yeah. OK, OK. Now, I was saying when he got drafted out of USC, he went to the wrong organization. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that's that's what I'm that's what I'm trying to say.
Starting point is 00:53:39 But what are you doing right now? It's beautiful. What are you doing right now? Listen, when J.J. McCarthy went down, obviously when Kirk Cudden left, I'm like, well, God damn, who the hell gonna get the goddamn ball to Jay Jay? Who the hell gonna get the ball to 18? OK, they drafted Jay Jay McCarthy. I'm like, OK, OK, this is one national championship. When I thought about it, I'm like, but damn, all Michigan did in college,
Starting point is 00:54:00 all them boys did was run the goddamn ball. Is he one that could facilitate the ball through the air? I didn't know. I didn't know. He goes out, I'm like, but damn. Who's up next? Sam Darnold. So I think about Sam Darnold on the 49ers.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Ah, didn't look too good. Sam Darnold on the Panthers. Ah, it didn't look too good. Like, okay, Sam Darnold, they got drafted by the New York Jets. We know how that worked out after three years. So I didn't know what Sam Donahue we gonna get. I didn't know the Vikings would be this good.
Starting point is 00:54:28 This is the Sam Donahue that's playing with confidence. This is the Sam Donahue that's letting the rest of the NFL know and putting them on notice. Listen, like you said, I'm putting the portfolio together. I'm putting the resume together. For those of you that need a quarterback after the season is over, this is what I can do when I had the right pieces around me come and get your boy That's the thing. Oh Joe if you look at it, he didn't have these pieces. He didn't have a Justin Jefferson
Starting point is 00:54:53 Oh, he didn't have an Addison. He didn't have who do they got now Hawkinson, even though he's not there right now Yeah, the other guy month the tight end caught a couple of passes. They brought in Aaron Jones, who caught it, who, Quincy Williams, but after, at the end of the day, Aaron Rodgers need to play better. Yeah. He threw three interceptions. There haven't been very many defenses in the history. I mean, you gotta be a historic defense
Starting point is 00:55:24 to overcome three turnoversovers because what you do, someone might be a pick six, which one was you put them on a short field. But so now they're scoring basically on your possessions. Make it make them score on theirs. I'm not gonna give you ish on my possessions. possessions and he threw three other sections, including two in the first quarter, a career first included a pig six, putting the jets up 17 to nothing. And then the two or the three, uh, the Jets are two and three for the first time in Aaron Rogers under 500 through five starts with 2012 Quincy Williams. Jets linebacker was ticked off after the loss. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Oh, I ain't get it. Like I said, people got to start taking accountability, bro.
Starting point is 00:56:04 People get tired of hitting the same thing every week. For you, what do you taking accountability, bro. People getting tired of hearing the same thing every week. For you, what do you need to work on? I'm tired of saying the same thing every week. For me, I need to start working on being a leader more. That's the main thing. Accountability. Yeah. Aaron didn't play good.
Starting point is 00:56:21 Those interceptions was terrible. Why would you throw on a... OK, you're trying to throw a back shoulder fade. How you going to throw a back shoulder fade that far inside, Ocho? That's stuff that you work on in MendeCamp. I'm sorry, Ocho, I shouldn't have went there. My bad. Ocho, that's me. That's on me, Ocho. Take off. You notice? I have a question.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Hey, chat, listen to me. Think about the Aaron Rodgers at Green Bay. Think about the Aaron Rodgers at Green Bay. Think about the Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay in the back shoulder fades that he continues to hit over and over and over and over, whether it be Davante Adams, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver. Oh, should I do I do I need to go home? It worked consistently over and over and over and over and over.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Now we're Garrett Wilson. Now we're out of Lazard. The chemistry ain't there. Mike Williams. It ain't there. Mike Williams. The chemistry ain't there. I haven't seen him hit the back shoulder fade with the back shoulder. I haven't seen it work yet. And it's a huge chunk play.
Starting point is 00:57:24 They give the DB no chance to make a play on the ball. I haven't seen it work yet. And it's a huge chunk play that gives the DB no chance to make a play on the ball. I haven't seen it work yet. I seen it skip the ground. I see it hit the ground. I see it be too far right. I see it be too far left. And he missed, and he missed Garrett Wilson
Starting point is 00:57:36 on the throw that would have won the game probably. Remember when the game, Wilson put a stop and then wheeled up the sideline and he overshot him. Overshot him, yeah. But things like that, but you know, don't worry about it. He don't have to he got four MVP That's what the fans tell me. He'll need to work on it. So Don't work on it
Starting point is 00:57:55 You don't know you've never thrown one ball to those guys. I mean you did it in camp but Garrett Wilson and you see a lot of times in men and training camp, there was on the sideline having a discussion. Garrett Wilson's like, okay, where you want me? I want you here, but I want it over there. So those are things that you work on. Mike Williams had no chance. That ball was so far inside that the DB, I mean, think about how far it was inside because the DB is on his inside shoulder.
Starting point is 00:58:23 That's why the back shoulder works. Because he's inside, so when the wide receiver opens up, DB, I mean think about how far it was inside because the DB is on his inside shoulder. That's why the back shoulder works because he's inside. So when the DB, so when the wire receiver opens up it's on his back shoulder. There's nothing. Cause I got your pin here. You already here.
Starting point is 00:58:33 So when I open up and do that, now I got your pin here. Yeah, that was a good play. That was a good play by, that was at the end, right? When Gilmore picked it off. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that was a good play. But that's what needs to happen.
Starting point is 00:58:47 Listen, the thing is, is that what Rogers need to understand, they can't run the football lit. So it puts an immense amount of pressure on them to be great in the passing game. Right now they haven't found a chemistry. I mean, this was Garrett Wilson's best day. He had 13 for a buck, 0-1.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Ocho, he had 22 targets. I've never heard somebody have it. Okay, let me take that back. When T.O. called 20 passes, obviously he had to have 20 plus targets. When Brandon Marshall broke T.O.'s record, he had to have at least 20 targets. But do you, Chad, do y'all understand
Starting point is 00:59:24 how many 22 targets is That's a lot, right? Man, I go five. I might go five games and I get 22 targets. Yeah If they try to get him that ball today they try to give him that ball a day and get him rolling and try to get him in that ball and get him rolling today and just I Don't I don't know, I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Listen, whenever you have a quarterback like Ann Rogers, you have a chance. It gives you a chance because of experience and what he's able to do with the ball in his hands. But when it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, it's bad. Not with 14 rushing for 36 yards. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:03 I don't believe at this stage of his career, he can consistently beat win games, throwing the football like he's throwing it today. But the four champs, hell, hell no. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. Hmm. They got to clean up. JJ, you got to put that in your back pocket, though. You almost threw it back to sauce gardener. You that I already ran on Joe late the ball game. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah He almost threw it back in the sauce his hands. Mm-hmm
Starting point is 01:00:32 Gotta put that one in your back pocket. That's why that's why you the highest paid That's why they look at the bank about oh Joe. They would just look at him on that last on that left They were just looking for him. Yeah, They ain't thought about him, you. We pay you 35 million, go get it bro. Mm-hmm. Go get it. Gotta put that in your back pocket, JJ. But good game overall, Nick Mullins came in,
Starting point is 01:00:55 oh Joe, he came in and threw one. After Sam Donah got hurt. Mm-hmm. But. Hey, what's the extent of Sam Donah injury? Is it bad, bad? Well, they're on a five week, so he has an extra week to recover. I don't know. Okay but The Jets they're not good enough to overcome the kind of play that Aaron Rodgers
Starting point is 01:01:15 What's the difference between what he did and Sam Donner? What's the difference between exact Wilson and him? He just got he just got he just more Distinguished he just more distinguished. He just more credentialed. That's the kind of play that Zach Wilson gave you. Three interceptions. Defense, they're not historic. They're a good defense.
Starting point is 01:01:37 They're not historically good. They're good defense. They're solid. Solid. Not, they're not, ooh boy. Oh man, Ocho man, we got our work cut out for. They ain't that kind of defense. No.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Man, we got our work cut out for us. Today, Ocho, woo woo. I don't know how we gonna, they're not that. They're not the 70 Steelers, 85, 86 Bears. They're not 2000 Ravens, 02 Bucks, the Legion of Boom. They're not that. They're good solid defense. the Legion of Boom. They're not that. They're good solid defense. In today's game, they're solid defense.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Nothing today. They like, like I said, ooh, hey, ooh, Ocho. I don't know how you feel about this one, Ocho. They don't get that kind of response. But- It nice. Hey there, it's Michael Lewis, author of Going Infinite, Moneyball, The Blind Side, and Liar's Poker.

Listen on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, James Brown, BB King, Miriam Makeba.
Starting point is 01:04:10 I shook up the world! James Brown said, said loud! And the kid said, I'm black and I'm proud. Black boxing stars and black music royalty together in the heart of Zaire, Africa. Three days of music and then the boxing event. What was going on in the world at the time made this fight as important
Starting point is 01:04:30 that anything else is going on on the planet. My grandfather laid on the ropes and let George Foreman basically just punch himself out. Welcome to Rumble, the story of a world in transformation. The 60s and prior to that, you couldn't call a person black. And how we arrived at this peak moment. I don't have to be what you want me to be.
Starting point is 01:04:51 We all came from the continent of Africa. Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman and the Soul of 74 starting October 9th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packer star Kabir Vajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. Hey, GB, explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
Starting point is 01:05:37 I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns in church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked, voila, you got straight away.
Starting point is 01:05:56 I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse if that's possible. Listen to Spiral on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Maria Konikova. And I'm Nate Silver. And our podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions. Both Nate and I are journalists who moonlight as poker players.
Starting point is 01:06:18 We've both won, and I have to say lost, hundreds of thousands of dollars playing poker. And poker is a lens that we're going to use to approach this entire show because poker isn't just about playing cards. It's actually about how to make good decisions. It's an entire framework for thinking about the world. In addition to poker, we'll be talking about the wide world of gambling, so sports betting, for example, plus the news, politics, it is an election year, and personal decisions too. Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.
Starting point is 01:06:53 Tune into Risky Business every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Minnesota five and oh Jeff's fall to two and three who did just bills next week. Well, y'all, y'all, y'all. We'll never through just one interception. Bro, y'all had the same record. Y'all were last year with Zach Wilson. Y'all just got, y'all just got, y'all just got a nicer car that you can't drive.
Starting point is 01:07:42 What's the difference? Oh, so y'all happy, y'all got a quarterback that's distinguished, that's credentialed, but your record says the same. I'm confused. Oh, taking a pretty lady out and she ain't gonna do nothing. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:07:58 What is that, Ocho? You say taking out and she ain't gonna do nothing? Yeah, you get them ball of cards, bought flowers, took it to the movies, got a fancy dinner. And she's like, I'm ready to go home. And not with you. What is that? They got to get this turned around. You think you hold on.
Starting point is 01:08:21 Y'all, you're just playing. Y'all brought y'all brought Aaron Rodgers in to be two and three or five games in Is that what y'all brought him in there for I just want to know y'all just let me know what y'all so okay fine If that's what y'all brought him in there for okay? Then Aaron one those MVPs in Green Bay Did y'all hear Tom Brady? Tom Brady said when he went to Tampa, this is what Brady said.
Starting point is 01:08:46 I said the same thing on air because I had done it before Tom. I was a back-to-back Super Bowl, four first team All-Pros, seven straight Pro Bowls. What they gotta do with Baltimore? I ain't do none of that for Baltimore. Tom says what I had done in New England, that ain't got nothing to do with Tampa.
Starting point is 01:09:07 I wasn't going there riding that. But I know somebody that is, but we gonna move it along, Ojo. We gonna move it along, we gonna move it along. The commanders beat the Browns 34-13. Washington might have the NFL's best offense. No team has been as high powered as the commanders over the past four has been as high powered as the commanders
Starting point is 01:09:25 over the past four games. During that stretch, the commanders are averaging 34 points a game, 409 yards. Washington is not averaging 31 points for the season. Jayden Daniels, clearly in the MVP race, can't hurt teams even when he's struggling. He did not have his best, you know, best game. 238 yards passing, but he ran for 82 more Ocho. Washington has a mass 298 of his 434 total yards on just eight plays. The offense hurt Cleveland all game long with explosive plays. The commanders are the first team since 1970 merger to score 150 plus points in the first five games of the season while starting a rookie quarterback.
Starting point is 01:10:12 It's amazing. It's amazing how a franchise turns completely around when you get a quarterback. It's amazing how you look. The commanders were four and 12 last year. Yeah. The commanders were four-12 last year. Yeah. The Commanders were 4-12 last year. You get a quarterback, not just any quarterback, a very, very good quarterback. You get a 10-year franchise-changing quarterback, and this is what you get.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Yep. This is why you pay them the big bucks. This is why you invest in them. This is why you go back and you talk to the elementary teachers before you draft him number one and number two overall. Yeah. This is what you get. You get an adequate quarterback, a dual threat quarterback who is by way before anybody tries
Starting point is 01:10:59 to say he's a running quarterback. No, he's a past first quarterback and he only runs if they he has no other choice. Then he's accurate on. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Today today wasn't it. But oh, Joe, but he was throwing some high risk stuff. He was throwing the ball down the field. Oh, yeah. He was letting the rip that he was letting the real gunslinger.
Starting point is 01:11:24 You know what? McLauren down there somewhere. He was letting the rip now. He was letting the rip. Gun slinger. You know what? McLaurin down there somewhere. That homie Brown, he down there somewhere. They got me. Yeah. I'm gonna ride that wave with him too. Shit. I'm gonna command this thing.
Starting point is 01:11:42 You can run the football, Ocho. 34 rushes, 215 yards5 yards Jane Daniel 11 for 82 Austin Eckles 6 for 67 McNichols 7 for 44 Okay Okay, that'll work now. Oh y'all gotta stop the run now. I'm gonna play after you give Pliff Kingsbury his credit. Oh, yeah, He didn't have his finest showing as a head coach But there's no denying this man offensive brilliance and when it comes to ability to to be on the same Wavelength as his quarterback. Mm-hmm give DQ Dan Quinn
Starting point is 01:12:21 Okay, this quarterback. I Need somebody that can work with a quarterback that has these kinds of legs, the zone read, that's collegey. And we can work this stuff and integrate into an NFL system and be successful. I know a guy and that mofo out of work. Hey, clear. You want a job? One thing about it, you know, the most important thing you can do if you're
Starting point is 01:12:47 taking a quarterback high is to get somebody that can work with it. That is the most important thing. You get a defensive guy and then they hire another, they got somebody that's not good that can work with his skill set. Because all quarterbacks, I mean I wouldn't hire somebody to coach Peyton Manning like I would Jane Daniels Right. I'm just not I'm not gonna have somebody to coach Tom Brady like I would Caleb Williams. I'm just not They have two different skill sets Completely but man that young man dealing Ocho But man, that young man dealing, Ocho.
Starting point is 01:13:26 But you done took your glasses off, what? You all right? Ocho, I don't know what to say about Deshaun, bro. I'm running out of words, Ocho. At some point in time, Ocho, just gotta stop now. Cleveland has the top more than 18 points in the game this season. The Browns in a week five with the worst third down offense in the NFL, and they failed.
Starting point is 01:13:44 They failed to convert all 12 of their third down offense in the NFL and they could, they failed. They failed to convert all 12 of their third down attempts today with Deshaun in the game. Ocho at some point in time, Ocho. Hey, I got a question. Listen, what's the issue? What's the issue? Is it mental? Is it the play calling? I mean, the issue? Is it mental? Is it the play calling?
Starting point is 01:14:07 I mean, what do you think it is? And I'm confused. I've been watching football for a long time, for a very long time. And the nose dive that I've seen, from a personal standpoint of R to B, maybe a top three quarterback when he was with with the Texans to what the version of the Sean Jackson I'm sorry
Starting point is 01:14:30 that the version of the Sean Watson I'm seeing now he's not even close to himself how in such a short amount of barring an injury the only time the only time oh Joe I can say I've seen this kind of drop-off from any kind of Hold on is through injury Injury, if you have a significant injury that would explain it. I could offer you Ocho man You know the man towards he towards patellar tendon. Oh, so, you know the man towards Achilles He had back-to-back ACL surgery O Oh, he almost had his shoulder ripped off the bone. So that would explain the cataclysmic drop in his plate.
Starting point is 01:15:12 But I don't see an injury that would cause it. This is up here. Yeah, it's mental. It's mental. Huh? Wait, listen, do you know how hard that is to get back, especially at that position? Yes, because they're going to be. Hey, listen, if you messed up mentally here
Starting point is 01:15:33 and at the quarterback position, you got the ball in your hands every time. So your judgment and your mind, it already got to be clear because if you judge me in your mind and you're not healthy as well on top of that. You'll never be you'll never be able to play well. You'll never be able to excel in that position. I think I was thinking about it. I'm looking at I'm thinking about the early today.
Starting point is 01:16:00 Well, God damn, I'm looking at what they're in the Browns, got a Mark Cooper. Jerry, you got Nick Chubb coming back soon, maybe I think maybe two weeks, maybe even one more. In Joku. Elijah, you. Elijah Moore, you bought in, you bought him a young bull. Yeah, well, I'm going blank right now. You got you bought him a young boy, Jerry, Judy, you know. I'm like, well, OK, we good. We good. We I, okay, we good. We good. I'm talking about we good.
Starting point is 01:16:26 I'm just saying from a, as a fan, as a fan of the Sean Watson, as a fan of some of these young bulls over there, man, that I enjoy watching, I'm like, okay, they gonna compete. They gonna compete. They gonna have a chance, you know, in the AFC North. And it just is not what I envisioned based on what I've seen in the past.
Starting point is 01:16:46 And I really can't put my hands on it on why they look the way they do. Oh Joe, he don't even move the same. You don't look the same in the pocket. And I think, you know, look, I'm not here to try to rehash and rethink anything, but I think that weighed a lot on his mind. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:08 I think a way to a hell of a lot on his mind. And he, what he's, he hasn't been the same. And I think everybody knows that I'm not breaking. Ocho, you and I are not breaking news. No, no, no, no, no. Everybody knows they saw, I saw the guy. He led the league his last year starting in Houston. He led the NFL in passing yards.
Starting point is 01:17:30 He did that. I'm not so sure Dishon, he's a, the 28, 29, 30, 31st, 32nd. He's a bottom five quarterback currently. Look at Joe Flacco in Indy. Look at what Joe Flacco did in Cleveland. Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco is, if I'm not mistaken, I think I read this, is eight days younger than Anthony
Starting point is 01:17:57 Richardson's mom. Hey, Joe, Joe, Joe, that. Oh, yes. Yes, it's because I think sometimes, oh, Joe, when you have. An image, yeah, and. And then all of a sudden, that image is not what was being portrayed. And people start to like, you start to think, how do they, how do they look at me now? How do they perceive me? And that plays with you. Because you're out in the public.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Yeah. It's. If somebody I would have been so out of lost a lot of money, Ocho, if somebody would have said, Shannon, he's never going to be the same again. I said, you are at your mind. Yeah, hold on, hold on, hold on. I bet. I'm a hold on. Is he going to have each other?
Starting point is 01:18:59 He's not going to have a career threatening injury. He's not going to have anything. No, he's just not going to be the same. I said, but. I would I would have bet it on He's not going to have a career threatening injury. He's not going to have anything. Nope. He's just not going to be the same. That's a bet. I would have bet it on the, I would have bet it with the quickness too. I know, I know it.
Starting point is 01:19:11 I know what I've seen from him. I know what I've seen. And I've just, I've just never seen a performance decline in such a fast rate, especially when you have a better supporting cast than what you had at Houston. And he's young. And Ocho, it wasn't like he's 30.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Deshaun is 30, is he 30? He can't because he came out, he's 29. He just turned 29, Ocho. I got a better question for you. How do we get him back to the old Deshaun? How do we fix the problem? Let me ask you a question. How do we fix the issues?
Starting point is 01:19:52 In professional sports, when have you seen a guy have this kind of precipitous drop and bounce back up? Name the sport. Football, basketball, baseball. Ain't never happened. It's hard. Oh, Joe. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Because so much of sports is physical. Yes, we've seen guys that had talent, but you're weak-minded mentally that's what you have to be the strongest yeah what do they say the best athletes have what the strongest mentality yeah cuz that's everything you have every self belief that I'm the baddest mofo on this field this court this diamond this whatever the case move whatever your avenue this court, this diamond, whatever the case may be, whatever your avenue, this court, Serena, whatever your arena is, you have the mindset that I'm the baddest mofo here.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Right. Cause a lot, bro, Tom Brady ain't the most talented quarterback. Not even close. He might not be in the top, he might not Brady, the most talented quarterback, not even close. He might not be in the top. He might not be in the top one as far as I'm talking about. I'm talking about physical talent. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:14 I'm talking about the ability to run, jump, arm strength. But that joke of mine, that's that's where they beat you at him and Peyton. Drew Brees, that's where they beat you at. He man, Peyton, Drew Brees. That's where they beat you at. They beat you upstairs. All that coach speak to Tom. Oh, man, that's a great time. Listen, and I just tell people, how do you know? I said, I'm telling you how they think.
Starting point is 01:21:36 Let me tell you, we did a lot of this too. They're going to tell you what a great team that is. And they're really, really tough. They're really disciplined. They're really well coached. But great team that is. And they're really, really tough. They're really disciplined. They're really well coached. But in that closed door behind that meeting, Belichick is telling them we're going to kick their ass.
Starting point is 01:21:50 And Tom Brady is in that meeting telling them at practice, we're going to kick their ass. They don't deserve to be on the field. But we're going to keep hyping them up. He actually believed that. And what great leaders can do, they can convince others around them to believe just like they are. Right. They believe just what Tom was so great and so believable.
Starting point is 01:22:16 Guys, we're going to keep we're going to do this. We're going to do this. Here with Tom said, man, we're down 14 times said we're coming back. Yeah, we coming back. Yeah, we coming back Uh-huh. That's how it works. I Don't think the Sean I don't think is What happened same thing look at Ben Simmons? Look at Ben Simmons and basketball locho Oh All defensive all-star all, all NBA rookie of the year. Yeah, he got hurt.
Starting point is 01:22:52 But the mentality was, is that what happened in Philly? Y'all remember I said, I said, he's never going to be the same. His coach criticized him and the best player on the team criticized it. I say, it's over. I said he done it fairly. But stuff like that shouldn't break you. That's that's motivating right now. Oh Joe, but you have to motivate.
