Starting point is 00:02:08 I'm Simone Boyce, host of the Brightside podcast, and on this week's episode, I'm talking to Olympian, World Cup Champion, and podcast host, Ashlyn Harris. My worth is not wrapped up in how many things I've won, because what I came to realize is I valued winning so much that once it was over, I got the blues and I was like, this is it. For me, it's the pursuit of greatness.
Starting point is 00:02:32 It's the journey. It's the people. It's the failures. It's the heartache. Listen to the bright side on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Days before he plays against the Packers for the first time in his career, Aaron Rogers made it clear. He will retire as a Packer when that day comes.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Roger said this past summer he's pretty sure 2025 will be his final season. And if it is indeed, he plans to own a ceremony, ceremoniously leaving the game as a Packer. I was up there for 18 years. Regardless of when I hang it up, that's the bulk of my career. I'll retire Packer and see what happens after that. I've got a lot for that organization and my time there. They asked this week, is it a revenge game or whatever?
Starting point is 00:03:20 What do I got to be a vint? What do I got to avenge here? they made me ton of money true i grew up there spent some of the best years of my life there i've got nothing but love for this organization listen anne rogers is in a good place and rod is in a good place for the simple fact that he gets to control his future yeah the steelers the stillers don't have an answer to the quarterback position no and rogers is coming back mike tomlin and the runy's going to ask anne rogers to come back how much you need what you need is to give you because the way he's playing the way he's playing this year
Starting point is 00:03:53 year, there's a resurgence in him. There's resurgence in him, you know, and if they're going to have a chance, if they're going to have an opportunity, if they're going to be able to compete as an organization, as a franchise, they're going to want number eight to come back and they're willing to give him what he need to do so. He's not going to retire. I'm even at 41, 42, whatever it may be. He's going to be feeling that much better because whatever they pay him is going to make him feel
Starting point is 00:04:18 better. It's going to make him feel better. I agree. I think the thing. is Ocho is that he wanted to be wanted. He wants to feel appreciated. That's all we want. And he feels that for the first time and a long time.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yes. Because what happened is that when you don't extend him, you're telling me you don't want me. Then you go draft a quarterback. You're really telling me you don't want me. And then all this stuff starts leaking out. Well, Aaron Rogers was not informed about the quarterback. Nobody needed to know that. Right.
Starting point is 00:04:53 nobody need to know that. The owner, what was the name? Picks up the call and say, Aaron Rogers, don't you be the problem. Nobody don't need to know that. Right. So he felt they were going behind his back, undermining him, making them look bad.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Yeah. When it wasn't necessary. Yeah. He goes to the Jeff. The Jets wanted him for whatever reason. It didn't work out there. And then you hear all the stuff start creeping out of the locker room. now you really haven't heard anything come out of Pittsburgh Mike Tomlin wants him he says
Starting point is 00:05:28 Mike Tomlin did not put no pressure on me said when you're going to sign when you when you're going to come up here yeah when can we show you around he said Tomlin didn't do any of that and he was very appreciative of him giving him his space and allowing him time to make the decision that can I commit can I give them a year can I give them an absolute year where I'm totally focused on the game of football he seems to be able to better a place in his life. He's gotten married, reports. I mean, that's what he said. I didn't know reports. He said he's gotten married. He says he's in a great head space. He's playing like he's in a great head space. But at the end of the day, he wanted to be wanted.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah. He wanted to be appreciated. And he felt his last several years in Green Bay. Now, he might have felt that, but that doesn't, they still took him in the first round. They still, he won four MVP there. He won a Super Bowl there. He won an MVP there. He cut his teeth as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:29 No matter what happened in New York or Pittsburgh, everybody's going to remember him as a Green Bay Packer. Absolutely. Absolutely. So those New York years, these years in Pittsburgh, whether it be one, whether it be two, whether it be three, would never override or overshadow what he did in Green Bay. He will always be a Packer in the eyes of those
Starting point is 00:06:49 that understand and watch the game. with football over the years. Always. Yes. And so, you know, I think that's great when the guys that spend the bulk of their career somewhere and they get an opportunity to come back and the team is welcome them with open arms, you sign the one-day contract and you retire, you retire as a member of the team that you broke in with and you're most commonly known for.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I don't know if Brady did that. I don't know if Brady, but even though Brady won a Super Bowl, Brady's going to be remember as a patriot, no matter what. I think he had three years. He won a Super Bowl. He threw for 5,000 yards. But in the eyes of everybody, he's a patriot. He's a patriot.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Absolutely. Hey, matter of fact, but you know what, Ocho? Huh. A lot of people still, they look at Peyton Manning as a Bronco because they see him at all the Bronco games. He lives in Denver.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He lives in Denver. He lives in Denver. He's so, I mean, he's at all the games. I know he wants to be the teams of skyrocketing, the value of teams. He wants to own a team. But the own 40% of a team, Ocho, you're talking $4 billion. Yeah. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:08:05 You're talking 50%. Oh, so you want to be the majority owner, so you got to own at least 50% of the team. Right. That's five, that's, you know, four, five, four billion, three and a half, four billion dollars. Damn. And the value isn't, they aren't coming down. No, listen, the mad market would never come down. No.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Ever. Damn, man, that's crazy. So it's going to be, look, at the end of the day, and that's what I say, that's why all the time. It's hard to go to work when you're not, when you're not happy or you feel unappreciate. You feel you're not appreciated. It's hard, Ocho. man you make all that money i don't give a deal about this money money don't mean money don't mean nothing man i'm happy hold on uh we know what it feel like for one to be happy
Starting point is 00:08:56 yes what it feel like to be appreciated and happy yes and then you add someone actually wanting you on top of that well you talk about that's a trifect that is undefeated for individual whether it be whether it be in sports whether it be in the corporate world or whether it be in a relationship with somebody man there's nothing better than that feeling of being appreciated and being wanted. It's one of the greatest feelings in the world. Like, I love when my kids ask me for something, huh? I love when they ask me for something.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And there's an appreciation to it that I'm able to provide whatever it may be that they want. Sometimes it's not within reason because you don't need it. But the fact that I can tell you why you don't need it, but the fact that I can, I'm in a position to be able to do. Like, that shit feels good. I told my kids, don't ask me for nothing until 2027, because I ain't got it.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I ain't got it. No, they know they're solid. They know, hey. Hell no. Look, when they come to me, I already know they didn't. They thought. long they thought long and hard before they asked daddy oh yeah oh yeah listen what one one my baby hit me today daddy what you doing i responded back how much i mean listen i wait listen i i would call to see

Starting point is 00:11:45 Right, right, right, right. Well, you got to get him something new, huh? Would he want to raise him? And still, so if I call, I still got to call Triple A or the total company to get it. Right. I say, oh, man.

Starting point is 00:12:16 in front of the vehicle like this here. Hey, he got something new, huh? Yeah. Hey. Hey. That's dope. My son, my son, my son, LeCJ, LeCJ has got his first, his first little Tesla.
Starting point is 00:12:32 He's got his first little Tesla without my help. Oh, did he? Yeah, man, yeah, man. Hey, that, that felt good. That was pretty dope. That was pretty dope. All my kids, everybody got, everybody got their car. everybody squared away, you know, hand laid in this.
Starting point is 00:12:47 I'm feeling, I'm feeling, I'm feeling, so, so, but, look, the whole, why they're, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:00 So, so, but, uh, it's, uh, but, look,
Starting point is 00:13:06 that the whole thing is, is that why we work so hard and do what we do. Yeah. And I've never, uh, me, I really don't buy a whole lot of stuff from myself. Yeah, I'll see something here or there I'll get. But for the most part, it's so my kids,
Starting point is 00:13:20 but they work. I say, look, this family ain't got room, but for one lazy mofo. I mean, yeah, yeah. Everybody else that's younger than, the younger than me, you got to get it. Now, look, I ain't got no problem. Like I say, when they call me, I know they had their wits thing. I know they didn't try everything. They didn't call their mom. And the mom, like, look, you know I ain't got it. Yeah. You know I ain't got it. Yeah. You know, I ain't got it. Yeah. You know what, as long as you're working. And this ain't just about no kids in general. This is, when you're calling on somebody, you ask for help,
Starting point is 00:13:54 as long as you're trying to help yourself and you're doing something. That's it. That's all I ask. That's all I ask. Just be doing something. If you're doing something, I have no problem helping you at all. Just show me you making some type of effort. That go from the kids. I mean, just for anybody, enjoy it, especially at close proximity in my small circle.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Man, you're good. to show me. Everybody else, everybody else that I'm going to really help to that. Then I got too old to really work. My mom I got my mom a car. She probably put two miles on that car. But anyway, she wanted a new car.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I got her car. My brother took care of him. My sister, my sister's like, I don't, hey, the drive right around here in Glenville, I don't need nothing. But I love the fact that, you know, they work for themselves. They do, they do their own they do the best they can.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I say, long as you're going to work hard and you're going, hey, you're going, you're going to, you try. Right. I got you. But don't call me and say you without no job. I don't care if you switch a hundred jobs. Right. Just before you lead that job, you make sure you got another one lined up.
Starting point is 00:15:01 You got to have some lined up. That's it. That's all I ask. That's all I ask. You ever been in a situation in general? Like, um, was someone that wasn't working? No, I got nothing for you. But see, Ocho, the way I am,
Starting point is 00:15:16 I'm only going to give you what I give you money. I don't lend money. Right. So you get what you can stand not to have get back. You give what you can stand not to get back. Okay. That's it. I'm going to give you what I can afford like a walk away,
Starting point is 00:15:29 just walk away from it. Right. That's what I do. Right. So when my home, when they ask me for money, that's what I do. I'm going to give you whatever, whatever I give you, I don't expect nothing back.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I don't mention it. Right. I don't bring it up. I don't talk. We don't talk about it. Right. Hey, hey, man, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:51 I know I owe you. Bro, you good. I ain't mentioned it. I ain't brought it up. Right. You good. So, but that's the whole,
Starting point is 00:16:00 that's the whole point of it. Oh, Joe? Yes. Yes. I'm going to die and do what. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I mean, I can't take none of that with me. I can't buy my way in the heaven. And I can't, hey, keep my way out of hell. So somebody who will get some use out of it? You're right, you're right.
Starting point is 00:16:18 But also you've got to be careful what people are taking advantage of you just because you do have it. Just because you are going to do. I hate that. I hate that part. But, oh, I'm kind of insulated. So ain't nobody really got my number outside my close, close friends. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:36 And, you know, you got to go through my sister. You know, anybody that's on that side. You got to go through my sister. Right. She ain't going to give you my number, and she goes just tell you no. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down. Unlock Elite Gaming Tech at Lenovo.com.

Starting point is 00:17:15 The force is shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand.

Starting point is 00:18:44 It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory. Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre? Bad faith political warfare, and frankly, bullshit. We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. You put two and two together. Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy? Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going. on for the last 20 years.

A third round pick out of the University of Tennessee, a volunteer. He grew up the youngest of 13 siblings. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Byron Young, Rams, Los Angeles, Ram, bro. How you doing? I'm doing great, man. Appreciate you having me. Nah, bro, appreciate you coming on. Seriously. You on one side, Jerry Burst on the other. You got the big guy pushing collapse.
Starting point is 00:21:37 in the pocket. How fun is it rushing the passer in that situation? Because it's first come first serve. You know you got to get off because verse on the other side. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's always a, you know, race to the quarterback. You know, I seem like just, you know, saying, you know, meet me there, beat me there. You know, having Braden fist, Kobe turned in the middle with Jared versus on the other end, you know, you have no choice but to get off. So, you know, they just motivate me and push me to go harder. I was reading the story. Back in 2018, you was working the ship at Berger's King and Dollar General.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You saw a flyer on a store bulletin board that's like Georgia Military College holding open trials for football. Hold on. You're like, hold on. Man, let me take this apron, this fry cap off and get back. So did you play football in high school?
Starting point is 00:22:28 Yes, sir. I played in high school. I just really went and recruited for real. Really? Nice, yeah. So you go, so you go, you go you go trial so so what what did they have you do you had to run drill you had to run a 40 so what did you what did you what did you what did this trial encompass uh basically it was the 40
Starting point is 00:22:48 kind of like what you said you had to do the bench press at 225 um you had to do like change directions and like they basically were doing like measurements yeah and see where you were at and that was kind of like it for the most part it was like 100 hundred guys there were you the only one that made it uh i was i was the only one that made it off the spot so like it was other guys that got called back because you kind of like it's like two trial you kind of like have the second triangle in the spring when you kind of have spring ball but i was like the only one to make the team from that though wow hey most of the time when you're growing up too obviously in in the NFL you play deep as in when you were younger what position did you play i know you i know you
Starting point is 00:23:29 i know you i'm playing d back then now i play running back what You were toting that ball. You were to tone the P of what? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I played a running back all through high school. That's why I'm like always big fans. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:42 So at what point did you, did your body, did your body, you know, grow into actually, now I can be on the defensive side of the ball and you got a little bigger? Well, actually my senior year, like I always like big in high school, but my senior year, I played both sides. Right. And I play a stand-up linebacker, my senior year high school. So it's kind of like transition after that. Are you from Georgia?
Starting point is 00:24:05 No, I'm from Georgetown, but I moved to Georgia after I graduated high school in 2016. Georgetown, South Carolina? Georgetown, South Carolina, yes, sir. Hey, matter of fact, you know what? I got a little, I got a small look. You ain't know this, right? See? A, B.Y., you ain't know I know this.
Starting point is 00:24:17 You and Melissa Jefferson come from the same small town, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, we went to the same high school. It was on the same track team. Ah, but you ran track, too? Yeah, I ran track my senior year. Wait, what, what race? I went on the 4 about 1. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Okay. Okay. So you, you get called. So how did you, how did you end up in Tennessee? Honestly, that was the first powerful school to offer me. So, really? Yes, sir. Yes, I felt like it was a sign from God. So, you know, I just went with them. Man, and you, hey, you got a, hey, playing the SEC. So was that always your dream to play in the NFL? You just had, hey, took a little detour, took you a little while, but, hey, you ended up where you ended up. and you got to ultimately your ultimate destination. Was that always your goal? So what was, what did Byron wanted to be when he was growing up?
Starting point is 00:25:08 When he was a kid, he was eight, nine, ten years of age, what did you want to be? I always wanted to be in NFL. I always wanted to go in the NFL. I'll be lying to you if I told you that I just knew this would have happened, like based off my journey. But like, my mindset was I just never wanted to quit, you know? I always wanted to somehow get back into playing football. But I really just didn't know how that would look like, you know, growing up,
Starting point is 00:25:30 like just being around a lot of people that really didn't really make it to the NFL. So it's kind of hard to kind of navigate and find your ways through there. So like, you know, it was just unpredictable, but I always kept fade. Wow, that man, that's an unbelievable story. So you go to University of Tennessee, you have an outstanding collegiate career, and now it's draft. So what were the scouts telling you, did you know you go, did they tell you, okay, you might be a first round pick?
Starting point is 00:25:56 You could be a late first round pick early second. Did they tell you day one, day. two? What were you hearing when you were coming out? I was really hearing day two. Some said possibly day three, but mostly it was day two. My biggest knock was my age, so I was like an older guy. Right. They liked how mature I was with my age. So it really was always day two, but possibly day three because of that. So you found the home now rushing the passer. This is your third year, right? Yes, sir. So you got one year with AD?
Starting point is 00:26:30 Got one year with AD. Oh, yeah. Man, can you, do you sit back and think, say, man, can I imagine me versus AD right now, knowing what I know now versus knowing what he knows now? And you're talking about arguably the greatest defensive tackle to ever play one of the five greatest defensive players. And the way our offense can score and be,
Starting point is 00:26:51 and we're ahead. And now I just get to hunt the quarterback. They got the double 99. They got to. I think about that every day. I just feel like I took some, you know, I feel like I took it for granted a little bit more rookie year, but I just said I was learning, you know, I was growing,
Starting point is 00:27:05 but like now I just look back in my 30, I'm like, man, if we could have him too, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, I'm just thankful that I had one year, you know, with him and him, you know, teaching me things and, you know, just being my mentor and stuff. What was some of the things that he taught you? So to watch him, obviously, he plays the three to five. It's a different.
Starting point is 00:27:25 You're mainly an edge. You're on the edge over normally. Occasionally you put your hand in dirt, but you like to rush to pass him from a stand-up position. Sir. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Stand-up. I kind of was doing that at Tennessee for the most part. That's when I kind of started dropping, though. So, yeah, stand-up, I'm outside linebacker.
Starting point is 00:27:39 But, you know, being with AD and some of the things, he kind of taught me, just be patient. You know, I feel like as a rookie, you're always trying to be perfect. You're always not trying to make mistakes. So I feel like coming in, I'm scratch so much about, like, I'm trying to be perfect. I'm not trying to do this wrong. And, you know, he always said, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:54 just be patient and just let it come to you. You know, like, you're going to make mistakes and just learn from him. But, you know, that was something that always stuck with me. And so, coming into the season, obviously, would it be your third year? Obviously, you have team goals, but have your personal goals. Obviously, I'm sure the sacks and the trajectory you are on right now so far this season, are there any other goals you have set in mind from an individual's perspective going into this season? Oh, definitely, making my first pro goal, you know, being all a pro.
Starting point is 00:28:27 You know, that's always been a dream come true for me. You know, that's something I always wanted, you know, just, you know, just watching the guys that I looked at to like Bonn Miller and those guys like that, like one of my favorite players ever and just watch how they just go about business and, you know, every year making a Pro Bowl. And it's just like, that's something I always wanted to do. So coming into, you know, my third year, my goal is, you know, Alfred of course, as a team, make it to a Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:28:51 But for myself, all pro, you know, pro bowl, you know, and defense player at the year, that's what I'm reaching. You know, every day I work, that's why I'm trying to accomplish. You know, B, Y, the easiest thing you'll do is make it to the Pro Bowl once. Now, what happens when they get that? You know what? We're going to sit our game playing to BY. Now we slide the protection.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Now we have the back chip on his way out. Now we have the tight end that chip on his way out. Now, the second Pro Bowl, the third Pro Bowl, those are the ones that get hard because now they know what you can do. And now you have expectations for yourself. The fans, management, they have greater. expectations because they saw what you've done. You've gone to the Pro Bowl.
Starting point is 00:29:31 You're like, hey, I got nine sacks. Hold on. I think we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. We got nine more. We got nine, ten game. Hold on. If I get a sack of game, get a couple of two sack game, man, I can get 20 sacks.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Oh, yeah. And now you're like, hold on 20 sacks. Hey, they don't have to come see you, they pay big bucks for 20 sacks. They don't have to come see you. Hey, hey, I go back and buy, I can go back about all. of Georgetown. Yeah. Hey, you tell them,
Starting point is 00:30:01 tell you, hey, what's the name, Stan? Stan, what, Unk? Stan Kronky? Yeah, tell Stan, we want 49 a year. Ooh. Yeah. Yeah, hey, uh, 50. Fit.
Starting point is 00:30:12 No, very, fake. Hey, so coming into the sea, obviously, you know, your third year, what are some of the things you work on? Look, you got great get-off. Obviously, you can convert speed to power. So, so what, what was you working on? And obviously, each year you work on something to try to improve, to get better.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Because sometimes the move that you worked on that worked this year, it might not work. I'm not getting rid of them, but I got to have another trick in my bag that I need to pull out, especially when I got to get off the field. We got to make sure we get off the field. We got to make sure we keep them out of field goal range. We got to make sure we keep them out of the end zone. So what were some of the things that you were working on this offseason, B.Y? You know, this off season going into my third year, just looking back at my first two years,
Starting point is 00:30:55 I just feel like I wanted to take a different approach. So I took on, you know, Pilates. I started doing Pilates three days out of the week just to build my body and, you know, just strength of that core, get flexible. Yeah, working them little muscles, you know what I'm saying, with longevity and stuff like that and to help prevent injury. So I felt like doing Pilates definitely helping my body type and help me being able to big, then, getting off the ball faster, you know, flexibility and everything,
Starting point is 00:31:19 bend in the corner, you know how I do. So it's like those are some of the things that I was doing, I was really consistent at it. I feel like I've seen the different things that helped and just putting into actual work, you know, getting more get-offs, working my technique more, getting more film studies, studying myself, you know, and studying where I lacked my last two years, and I was just trying to improve from that. So my goal, every time I step on the field is improve, you know, something that I didn't do good yesterday, whether it's get-off, whether it's foster, whether it's used my hands, you know, whether it's hell of I always try and just like get better
Starting point is 00:31:50 at something, you know, every practice. So that's kind of my approach that I was taking OTAs They didn't count. You guys still run the hoop, that circle that, you know, you try to ride it and stay as low as you possibly can. Y'all still do that? Well, we kind of do that. We kind of do something else with the medicine ball. We, like, have the medicine ball.
Starting point is 00:32:09 We kind of feel up our hips, but we kind of, like, do it around the whole hoop. But we don't, I know what you're talking about. We don't really do that too much. So when, at the end of this season, look, hey, your third round pick. Oh, they got to come see you after this year. Yeah. They got to come see you. be what? Oh, so you're going crazy. You really try to leave.
Starting point is 00:32:29 I'm sure, cheer, cheer, cheer, cheer, chill, chit. It's your God on me. Oh, Joe. It's your God on me. What he's doing? Hey, man, they're going to go to this. I'm going to get this 20 piece out here. Hey, that's, that's always the goal is just, you know, try to get to that second deal. So I'm definitely working for that for sure. Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. man congratulations on all your success man i mean it wasn't oh let me ask you this the youngest of 13 how many how many how many brothers how many how many boys how many girls

Starting point is 00:44:50 You don't think you can get 20? Yeah. I mean, Scott's the limit at the end of the day. Scott's always the limit. But it's not going to be easy. I'll tell you that. Like, I don't want bubbles as five catches, 10 catches, you know? Is it on the air?
Starting point is 00:45:06 Yeah. No, no, no. No more goals are up. No more? Super Bowl. That's it. That's it. You understand?
Starting point is 00:45:18 I like that. understands, they look at receivers that have Super Bowl rings different. I understand not only the quarterback is really judged heavily. Right. But, you know, when they throw, when they talk about Jerry, what is the one thing Jerry can have over Randy,
Starting point is 00:45:33 what he can have over T.O. What he can have over Fitzgerald, Chris Carter, all those guys. What do you have? Super Bowl. Rings. Yeah. Yeah. And so Chase, like, oh, no, yes. I'm going to have a bunch of catches. I'm going to have a bunch of yards, considering where I am, where my career started,
Starting point is 00:45:49 right but at the end of the day they're going to be looking at me sideways i don't get no jewelry especially with the quarterback that i got yeah well uh when he's healthy yes thank yeah you got to stay healthy old choke my goddamn bangles but we're gonna be all right boy we we're fin to run the table man we're gonna run the table i'm i feel good about that. It's bad. Oh, Joe, let me know what you think about this. Tyreek Hill is weighing its option after suffering a season-ending injury last month.
Starting point is 00:46:29 He said on the set podcast that he's undecided about whether to retire or continue playing. Right now, I'm happy being with my kids. I'm happy with the career I've had and I love playing football. I love it. But it, man, but it takes a lot, man, to be the best and to stay at the top. And I'm at the point now where I need to have a conversation with my mom. family and everybody like I said wherever my mind is at the time the decision to be made but I just right now feel like I haven't had time to just live in the moment I just I just be in
Starting point is 00:46:59 the moment with my family he's not retiring he's not retiring he's going through he's going to the withdrawals of not being able to play right now you can't run you hobble you're injured right now you got to rehab once he gets back in form however long that takes the thought of retiring is far gone he has too much football left to play yeah he had too much too much football left to play not only does he have too much football left to play there's a new journey there's a new chain there's a change of scenery waiting on him i'm not sure where it may be i'm sure will be a place that can use his skill set and even if he's not as fast he once was he'll still be fast and everybody else.
Starting point is 00:47:47 You're absolutely right. Everything that you said is true. Yeah. Yeah. That's the damn, man, I got hurt. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's a serious injury. He dislocated in the knee and he tore ligaments.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah. He'll be back, though. Yeah, for sure. And the exciting part for Tyreek Hill is I know I'm coming back, right? I got to get my, I got to whip myself back into shape. Get back, get back close to 100% as I can. Right. and get ready to contribute to a new team.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Where that is, I don't know. That's the exciting part for me. How much money Tyree got guaranteed next year? It was 54, 50-something. That's what's cap number. I'm talking about how much does he have guaranteed. Okay. Because this is the first year of a three-year $90 million deal, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:48:53 First is maybe the second year, I think, I thought. This was so he had one more year left. Wow. Where they won't owe him any more money, huh? Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But we knew, look, I knew one way or another.
Starting point is 00:49:30 He wasn't going to be there. Either he was going to get traded or he's going to be cut. Yeah. I know he wasn't going to be there after this year. Yeah, I think if he, if he hadn't got hurt, he would be traded by the deadline. Correct. He traded by the deadline.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Mm-hmm. I think the thing is Ocho in a situation like this, you know, because it's going to take him a little extra time because he had a dislocation and he told a couple of, I think he tore two ligaments in his knee, ACL and, yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 00:50:01 he reckoned it pretty good. Yeah. So that happened in October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, eight months, July, July, August. I could come back in 12, 10, 10, 11 months. 10, 11, 2, 3, October.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Yeah, they said he tore multiple ligaments and, and there's a, he'll be ready by the start of the season. Oh, Joe, he tore multiple ligaments and he dislocated the knee. I think he'd be ready. be ready home. And you got to understand, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:50:49 that's a lot of planting and cutting. That's a lot of speed. Think about when you run a comeback at that kind of speed. Yeah. That thing got to be solid. Yeah. Not only does that have to be solid, up here got to be solid too.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Yes, absolutely. Yeah. Ocho, it's time to play play a fade presented by prize picks. I'm going to cash this one out. Brandon Ingram, more than five rebounds versus Milwaukee. That's tomorrow. More. Jalen Johnson, more than four assists versus Orlando.

Starting point is 00:52:13 And he doubled us up. Norman Powell is going to have more than three and a half rebounds. Victor William Benyama is going to have more than nine and a half field goals. Kay Cunningham is going to have more than five and a half rebounds. How many, how many, oh, yeah, he was 17 to 21. Yeah, oh, yeah. We're going to average at least 25 this year. 25 a game?
Starting point is 00:52:36 Yeah. How many blocks are you going to average? Probably about three, three, three and a half. Yeah, he liked me. $25 to win $250, download the app. Use code Shannon to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup. It's good to be right.
Starting point is 00:52:59 All right, Ocho, we're going to get your hat on this one. It's time for our final segment of the evening. And it's time for Q and A.

It's Savage, Uncle, Oklahoma Native here. How are we looking, man, OKC Thunder. SGA sets a career high 55 points. The first team to go back to back, double overtime, and win.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I know it's early, but what do you guys take on the up? You guys look good. They're doing this without J. Dove. The second best player hasn't been there. You know, Shea's going to be Shea. I think he shot like 26 free throws. He's going to get to the file line. He's a tough cover.
Starting point is 00:57:00 You know, he can get to the rim, mid-range, you can shoot the three well enough that you can't just leave him open. Right. And then he puts pressure on you because he's going to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack, and attack. And he's going to make the officials. Either they're going to swallow their whistle or they're going to blow it. I hate that people call him that. I hate that they call him a free throw merchant because he's able to manipulate his game.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Yeah. Drawing fly, drawing files and getting to the free throw line. Hell, D. Wade does it too. D. Wade did it too. Goddamn James Hardin is also a master class when it comes to doing it as well. I mean, I'm not, why do, why do people do that? Well, they got to have a, they got to explain why he's playing the way he's playing. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:42 So instead of getting, hey, the guy's immensely talented, most guys drew a lot of free throws. George used to draw a lot of feed throws. Right. He used to draw a lot of free throws. Braun, for the amount of the time that he drove the ball, Shaq didn't draw no free throws because Shaq had been shooting 30 free throws a game and then nobody wanted to see that. So they just let people beat the hell out of Shaq.
Starting point is 00:58:02 Right. But most of the guys, Carl Malone, shot a lot of free throws. The really good players normally shoot free throws, especially if you attack the rim. Tyson saying, hey, could you give my family a shout out? We recently lost our father, Wilkins Gustav. Yes, so sorry to hear that, Tyson. Your family, hopefully in this time of sorrow, you have understanding, you find comfort and you find peace. And God give you that.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father, but just know he's in a good place now. No more pain, no more suffering. And you know what? If we live the life, you know, we shouldn't fear death. If we live the life that worthy of living isn't, that's the way we get to our ultimate destination is through death. So I guess that's the celebration that we should have. But Tyson, I agree for you and your family.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Kristen Fields says, Chaunze and Rozier tipped over dollars tried to pick up pennies. So sad, Uncan Ocho, now would y'all feel if your teammates sold the game for money? Yeah, yeah, I will feel some type of weight. Yeah. You're going to give out information?
Starting point is 00:59:15 I ain't, I ain't even talking to my people. Yeah, and, you know, the funny, too, the funny thing about it is, is the people that are in position to actually impact and effect games wouldn't be muffling and gambling anyway. Mm-mm. They wouldn't be in position doing that.
Starting point is 00:59:31 But they talk about the information. Oh, the information, okay, okay, okay. Hey, you know, Carson ain't going to play this week. Don't say nothing, though. Right. And TJ, man, I don't know. I don't think TJ's going to play this week. You see, hey, just like that.
Starting point is 00:59:44 Right. You know, you ain't even thinking nothing about it. Mm-hmm. Man, Ocho, right. Man, Ocho, say Carson ain't going to play this week. Just like that, Ocho. They didn't got you caught up. You just, hey, man.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Just that fast. I don't even know a car. cars are going to play. Right. You're just saying just, hey, that's why you can't, no pillar talking. Yeah. Triple S cop Saturday. NCAA approved the rule change on Wednesday that will allow athletes and athletic director department staff members to bet on professional sports. Look, college football is coming just like the NFL. The reason why the coaches make so much money and the players are getting paid. That's why they're not putting up with that. You're not going to get nobody.
Starting point is 01:00:32 You're not going to keep losing. Dap or not, I, no, they're paying too much. Brian Kelly probably going to walk out and walk away anyway because he said he wanted to go somewhere where he can compete for a championship. He ain't come close to compete. And they spent a boatload of money at LSU. He left Notre Dame because he said he wanted to compete for a championship. That's what he said.
Starting point is 01:00:57 If it's a lie, he told it. He ain't come close. losing the Alabama and Georgia. Okay, I get that. That's Alabama and Georgia. Vanderbilt putting foot senior now. Oh, yeah. Vanderbilt, hey, Vanderbilt ain't nothing to be joked up with this year now.
Starting point is 01:01:14 So, but, boy, look here. It's perfect, college football is professional sports now, Ocho. You look at the money. You look at the money to coaching staff and the coaches make. They got, you know, 50, to $20 million tied up in a coaching staff. Yeah. You got somewhere between $8 and $15 million tied up in your team.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Yeah. I call it, you know what I call it? I call it a starter kit. College football is now the starter kit before you make it to the league. We're going to get your small semicides and what it's going to be like at the next level. You're absolutely correct. Dagnate Cobbins.
Starting point is 01:01:56 You got to know when to hold them. You got to know when to fold them. You got to know when to walk away. Know when to run. You never count your money at the table. Kenny Rogers, that's the gambler. You do. But here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:02:08 You got to be careful if your professional athlete sitting at that table. Yeah. Because you never know. That's why you got to be careful how you talk to and who you talk to, Ocho. Let's just say I'm in the airport and I'm talking to somebody.
Starting point is 01:02:25 I don't even know who it is. Somebody take a picture. He'll monster. Now, how do I explain that, Ocho? I'm just having a conversation. I don't know who this man is. You mean to tell me you don't know who he was? No, who is he?
Starting point is 01:02:39 You mean to tell me you don't know who that is. Mofo, I told you I didn't know who that was. Now, who is he? You see, got caught up just that quick. You're having a conversation. You're in a restaurant, Ocho. Hey, how you doing, Mr. Sharpe? Hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 01:02:52 I'm such and such. There you, if you don't say Sammy the Bull, I don't know. You know what I'm saying? Sammy the bull. Yeah, you don't say something like that. I ain't going to know who the hell you are. Right. Lucky Luciano, Amir Lansky, you don't say no name like that, rest of their soul.
Starting point is 01:03:08 I don't know. Yeah. And then obviously, you know, they don't look like that no more. Exactly. They don't dress like that no more. Timothy Humphrey, Salute Uncle Ocho, y'all, y'all talking facts. The Giants Idiot Kicker calls me my parley. Breer Carter, the NBA, is definitely rigged,
