Starting point is 00:04:20 ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] ["DKNG"] Nah, let's get back on track. Malik Willis gets away in Tennessee. It took just the first half of Willis to set career high with 158 passing yards in two
Starting point is 00:04:36 quarters. He finished 13 of 19, 202 yards with a touchdown. He added another 73 yards on the ground for another score. Will Levis, whoo, his three turnovers, this season totaled to eight most about through a quarterback through his first three games over the past three seasons. Tennessee is minus eight in a turnover ratio. Uh, Jai Alexander picked six. You remember last, uh, his first week he threw one underhanded, picked six and then all of a sudden he got in trouble. He threw a lateral that ended up turning it over. So he's having a, he having a rough
Starting point is 00:05:10 time but taking care of the football a little joke. Got it. You got, you in the gun and you have a short route. The DB on short routes, anything three step, especially the gun, he's looking at the corner. Yeah, he playing off bro bro he ain't going nowhere and then you pat the ball you you get the ball instead of letting it go you pat it and then throw it by the time it get there because he's not looking at the he's not looking at the receiver he's looking at you he winding up man Jair was already breaking on the ball. Yeah. He almost ran past it. Yeah, Ocho, first of all. They gotta fix that.
Starting point is 00:05:50 They gotta fix that. They gotta fix that. But the receiver can do a better job knowing you gotta take it deeper because the quarterbacks in the gun, he's not a, Ocho, he doesn't have the ball in his hand. You gotta realize he's gotta take the snap. He's gonna back up a couple of steps.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Then he's gonna throw it. Well, Jahir sitting back there clueless. He take a couple of steps. When he see that quarterback pull up, oh, he's driving. Right. He driving on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I mean, they gotta fix his mistakes though. His decision made him really bad. He's not even giving his team a chance. He's not even giving them a chance. Oh Joe, you know you make outside throws, you better miss outside. Cause if you don't, he got a reservation for six and he's on his way.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Every time, every time. Yeah. Who's the backup in Tennessee? Who's the backup in Tennessee? I think Malik Willis was still there. They obviously, they traded Malik. If Malik Willis was still there, they obviously, they traded Malik. If Malik Willis was still there, boy, listen, I don't think there's anybody
Starting point is 00:06:52 where it makes Will Lepus nervous to be better with his decision making, where they would bench him and sit him down. No, well you kind of hitched your wagon to him. Yeah, once you let Malik go, basically. You kind of hitched your wagon to it. Yeah. Once you let Malik go, basically. You kind of hitched your wagon to him, and so it is what it is, Ocho. But listen, look, Ron Payne's.
Starting point is 00:07:13 He had two touchdowns, two interceptions, D-Hop, 6-4-73. Calvin Ridley had one reception on three targets. You got Calvin Ridleyilla and DeHop. Hey, you should be man be eaten. But they can't run the football. Tony Pollard, six for 14. Will Leavage, three for 12. Spears, two for seven.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Levin carries 33 yards. That ain't gonna get you now. No. You gotta have a heavy dose of balance on both ends. And if your canister happens to run, it's gonna make passing that much more difficult. Yep, you're exactly right. You're exactly right.
Starting point is 00:07:53 So, who we got? Justin Fields and the Pittsburgh Steelers are three and oh. The Steelers finished with 346 yards, a total offense. Charges 168. Steelers scored a 346 yards, a total offense. The charge is 168. Steelers scored a season high, 20 points, with two field goals by Chris Boswell, and a rushing touchdown by Justin Fields to go with a fourth quarter touchdown
Starting point is 00:08:14 strike to Calvin Austin III. Still, the Steelers struggled to convert in the red zone with drive stalling at the 10-yard line and the 12-yard line. Justin Fields also had his first interception of the Steelers' career, but threw for 245 yards, following at the 10 yard line and the 12 yard line. Justin Fields also had his first interception of his Steelers career, but threw for 245 yards, the most in his three game stint as a starter. Ocho, here's the question.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah. You still think Russell Wilson getting that job back? Man, Justin got the hot hand, bruh. Justin got the hot hand. Yeah, you know how I feel. You know how I feel, but Fields got the hot hand. Yeah, you know, you know how I feel. You know, you know how I feel, but Phil's got the hot hand right now, you know. Another one who was in a
Starting point is 00:08:50 situation similar to that of Donald. Similar to that of Baker Mayfield. They're surrounded Arthur Smith. The play calling. Playing to Justin Phil's strengths. It's just a fit. It looks like a perfect fit for him, you know?
Starting point is 00:09:07 Obviously I would have liked to see Russell Wilson at the helm based on what he's done in the past. His resume, obviously he speaks for himself. He didn't have that bad of season. And then for last year, I would have liked to see him pick up where he left off there and try to continue that with the Steelers. But it didn't happen to Justin field is playing some goddamn good ball, man. He's playing some good ball and he's not turning the
Starting point is 00:09:28 ball over, which is the most important thing. Yeah. He's giving his team a chance every time, every time he's giving his team a chance. Justin Herbert was really limited in what he could do. I think they lost Bolsa. I think the right tackle goes out. Maybe the left tackle goes out. I know I think the right tackle goes out. Maybe the left tackle goes out. I know Justin Herbert ended up leaving the game and Tyler Heineck ended up coming in for him. Right. But when you look at the charges, how would all that talent,
Starting point is 00:10:00 Ocho, defensively, they got talent. Well, they got talent offensive. Well, they used toly, they got talent. Well, they got talent office where they used to have a lot more talent office when they had Mike Wave, Kenan Allen, and you know, Austin Engler. They had some talent, but defensively, yeah, you got Bolsa, you got Derwin James, you got Khalil Mack. I mean, you got some really, really, really, Assante Samuel Jr. Jr., yeah. I mean, you got some, I mean, you got some, but how about I get it turned around? He'll get it turned around.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Absolutely. Absolutely. But the quarterback gotta get healthy. Justin Herbert was a shell of himself today. He couldn't get away. And he's hurt, huh, too? Yeah, he had high ankle sprain. Yeah, it's bothering him. Yeah, it's bothering. But Justin Fields is now 3-0, 25-32, 245.
Starting point is 00:10:54 One touchdown, one interception, he was sacked. But hey, Najee Harris had what, 18 carries for 70 yards. Cordell Patterson had 4-33, Fields six for six. And they ran the ball 31 times for a buck 14 and they allowed Justin Fields to throw it 32 times for 245 on a touchdown. So the Steelers sit atop the NFC North with a 3-0 record. And Baltimore is one and two in Cincinnati is over. We own to will be one and two tomorrow night. Who y'all play? We play the commanders Monday night football. I'll be there. I'll leave. I'll leave. I'll leave. I'll leave Vegas on the red out of night at 1240, the Cincinnati.
Starting point is 00:11:39 And I'm going to be good luck. Corey Dillon going in the ring of honor tomorrow. OK. Yeah. Yeah. Who they am. Yeah. Yeah. And we're going in the ring of honor tomorrow night. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Who they? And yeah, yeah, and we gon' win. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix looked more poised in his third start and the Denver Broncos responded accordingly.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Nix rushed for a touchdown through for 216 to help the Broncos knock off the un, the Buccaneers 26 to seven. He earned his first career start. His first career win as a starting quarterback on the first drive, Nicks went four for four, 70 yards capped off by a touchdown run of two yards. Nick ended completing 25 or 36 passes
Starting point is 00:12:19 for 216 yards. Hey, you don't find it weird how the NFL works week to week Teams that have been playing bad the first two weeks all of a sudden come out and beat a team that had the hot hand The first two weeks and beat him, you know Bucks had the hot hand and all of a sudden bow necks who hasn't looked good the previous two weeks for some reason They beat the Bucks. Like it's weird. And I played the game, played the game for a long time. I watched the game obviously now since I've been since I've been retired and still can't
Starting point is 00:12:53 forget why this happens time to time in a league. Because they underestimate the teams. You know, players don't go into the game. They don't know. They look at the Broncos and how they look and you look at Tampa the way they've been looking and you look at these teams. You don't think the Raiders went on the road and beat Baltimore. You don't think they were looking at plans Carolina as bad as Carolina has been played
Starting point is 00:13:22 over the last 14, 15 weeks. Absolutely. They look past that team and that's what happens. And next thing you know, Carolina doesn't jump out. Got 21 seven. Now you got your hands full because they believe they can beat your ass. Same thing with the Broncos. The Broncos jumped out 14. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I think they was like one time it was 17. Nothing. And the next day it's like, hold on. They're like, hold on. We can win this game. Yeah. Now you got a fight on your hand instead of coming out there taking care of business earlier.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Right. Oh Joe, that's what you do. You respect everyone. You underestimate no one. You'll be fine. Right. But you go in there thinking about, Oh man, you know, we did blah, blah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I know you did. blah, blah. OK. I know you did. Oh, yeah, no. Oh, Baker Mayfield, 25 and 33, 163, one touchdown, one interception. He was sacked seven times. Chris Godwin had six catches for 53 yards, Cade Arton, seven for 47. Mike Evans had two for 17. Patrick Surtain. That's one of them games.
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's one of them games. I hate those games like that. But they got after- Well, we know who not gonna beat us. We not gonna let 13 get nothing. Everybody else gonna have to get it done. Yeah. Well, you put your best corner.
Starting point is 00:14:47 That's Pat Sartain. You know, he's one of the highest paid corners in the NFL. That's what you get paid the big bucks for. You take the responsibility of going against the opposing teams number one, and you do what you're supposed to do. He's going to win some, you're going to win some. But you make sure you win more than he does. And then that increases our chances of winning. and you do what you're supposed to do. He's gonna win some, you gonna win some, but you make sure you win more than he does.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And then that increases our chances of winning. But the Broncos, that's what we do. We go on the road in your house, beat you down. See, I brought the lockout. When I brought the lockout, you laughing. Boo, there it is. Brought the lockout, look at what happened. I mean, you brought the lockout.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Y'all went on too after you bought the lockout. No, I showed the locker last week. We done brought it out. We went on the road. Tampa. You showed the locker. You showed the locker before the season started. No, I just showed the locker last week.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I just got it last week, coach. That was that. That wasn't last week. That was two weeks ago. Did I just tell you that was last week? You worried about you. You worried about your team. You worried about the bingles. Oh we good. Jane Daniels. I guarantee you, you know we got T Higgins back tomorrow night,
Starting point is 00:15:53 right? You know Chase is back. You know we got the whole squad, the whole office is healthy. You know that right? Dan Quinn gonna be dialing it up. Dial up what? That pressure. Huh? Alan Payne. Listen, this is not the team you want to dial the pressure against. It is. No, I. OK. You want to bet some on the game? Nope. OK, I sure don't. I just need to go ahead and give me my money. But you know, my Russell Wilson. You just need to go ahead and give me my money. But I don't owe you no money.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Russell Wilson. Wait, he had an injury now. I don't know what he had. I just know he ain't got a starting job. He's hurt. That's why he didn't have a starting job. So it's different. It's like if there was a competition and Justin Fields outright beat him,
Starting point is 00:16:43 then the bet was still going. Now we- Who was starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers? Justin Fields. Okay, that's all I need to know. Jazz first round- No, but who was- Y'all, you cheating.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Jazz first round rookie wide receiver. Hey, boy, he the real deal, boy. Had a brilliant outing and the team's victory over the Browns, neighborhood eight catches, 78 yards, two touchdowns, and what turned turned out to be Jones best game of the season. The Giants like giving the ball to neighbors so much that they gave him two rushing attempts and also allowed him to throw a pass. This built off a 10 to 127 yard one touchdown performance last week against the Washington football team. This is what Warren Moon had to say about the Sean. The lawsuits are affecting his play.
Starting point is 00:17:29 You think so? He don't know. He don't know. He lock and shell of himself. Right, right. I mean, listen, based on what Warren Moon said. The football field. The football field for me now, it might be different for other players. Whatever is going on in my life during my tenure when I was playing, no matter what it was, whether it was good or whether it was bad or I had no turmoil with family or whoever I was dating at the time, we might've been arguing, we might've been fighting.
Starting point is 00:17:58 My safe haven and my peace was on that gridiron between those between those lines. Anything that was going on outside in my personal life. Once I walked on that field, it all went away. It all went away. I was on my playground. And whatever issues I know once that game that once that fourth quarter hit and it went it was zero and that whistle went off in those issues and those problems. I'm back to reality.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah. You have to be able to ask them in the last, but I don't see nothing. Nathaniel, everybody's different though. Maybe they make it. That's just me. You definitely have to be in a situation where you compartmentalize. I got things going on outside of football. I'll deal with those once I'm outside of football.
Starting point is 00:18:47 But when I play in the game of football is tunnel vision. My brothers, coaches, that is the most important thing. They got my back. I got my back. I got their back. Once the game is over, you go back and deal with what you have to deal with. I don't know. I like I said, I've met the Sean a couple of times. you go back and deal with what you have to deal with. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I like I said, I've met Deshaun a couple of times. He was cool with me. That's all I can speak to guys. I don't know him. I don't know him know it. So I don't know his mindset and what he's made of. Know his situation. He grew up in Georgia, Gainesville.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I know a little bit about it, but I don't know enough to. I can imagine. I can imagine. I can imagine, um, right. With the allegations that were alleged against him, some of the settlements that that obviously it changes perception. It changes the perception of people. Yes, sir. How they perceive you.
Starting point is 00:19:51 Having been on this side of it, you just have to realize people don't say what they want to say. They're going to believe what they want to believe, and there's nothing you can do to change people's minds. Once a person believes something about you, there is nothing you can do to change their mind. They've already got this perception of who and what you are. And the thing that I've been working on myself personally, I am speaking for the Sean, I'm talking about Shannon. It's like, Shannon, they're going to say what they want to say. They're going to believe what they want to believe. You ain't changing nobody's mind. There is nothing you can say. There's nothing you can do. To change people's mind. If they have, if people have
Starting point is 00:20:27 an opinion of you, that's it. That's it. Ain't nothing you can do because anything you do, you say, Oh, he tried to make you think that he's not this or he's that. Right. So why, why, why even bother? Yeah, right're right. Why even bother? Watch, The Expert. My next season is all about fans and what the rise of sports betting is doing to them, to the teams, and even to my family. I'm heading to Las Vegas and New Jersey and beyond to understand America's newest form of legalized gambling. Listen to Against the Rules 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
Starting point is 00:21:32 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. I got swept up in Kabir's journey,
Starting point is 00:21:59 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.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiral'd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

["Wake and Jake"]
Starting point is 00:25:23 I had that mentality of not giving a fuck mentality for a real long time. It ain't matter. I don't care what you think. You have to think about it. Just a small example. Think about the manner in which I played the game at the highest level. One, you used to get my... Man, you used to tear me a new asshole, pause,
Starting point is 00:25:47 when you was with the media. I'm just saying, what you used to, let me have it, because I was playing in such a way that you didn't agree with and you didn't see fit, you know, and I'd never change. The media, boy, they used to lay me out, and I didn't care, because I really didn't give a, you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:08 I felt I played the game the way I would have played. I think if I had changed and conformed to how the, how the people and the media pundits think I should have played the game, I wouldn't have been happy. I would, I would absolutely regret it. People ask me today, boy, do you miss football? I say, no, I don't regret it. People ask me today, boy, you miss football? I say, no, I don't miss it. Because when I did play, I played at the highest level and I did it my way.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Having fun with a smile on my face. You know what, Ocho? As long as you didn't get a penalty, I wouldn't care. You could have ordered Uber Eats and they could have delivered you a piece of some wings on the damn field. As long as you didn't get a penalty, I didn't care. The only thing I care about is just don't hurt the team. I want you to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:26:48 I want you to be excited because I know what it takes during the course of the week to get into the end zone on Sunday or a given day. Yeah. But let's not forget that the end of the day, our job is to try to win the game. Now we want a game. And all of a sudden you get a 15 yard penalty. Now we backed up, we kick it off. Now all of a sudden they get the ball. Damn near midfield. See, I never, I never, I wasn't, I wasn't that malicious and never, never got any
Starting point is 00:27:14 penalties. I think you owe me. Oh, I know. You know, you got on me when I tried to bribe the referee with that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. when I tried to bribe the referee with that dog. Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah even though even though because here's the thing though Ocho, perception is a person's reality. Because you know they already what do they say anytime a call go oh Jerry bought that hey they bought that official oh he must be back to parlay. Right. So people already believe that the officials are on the take. Right. All it takes is for one. Yeah. I thought, listen, I mean it was a dollar bill. It was a dollar bill. I was just having a little fun. You know, who was, was it Brian Billig? Who
Starting point is 00:27:58 was the head coach for the Ravens then? Yeah, Brian. It was Billig, right? Brian, yeah. Yeah. He threw a challenge fag on a catch. I felt, I felt I caught him. I felt I caught him. So, I mean, I'm sitting on the sideline, they challenged it and I don't know why it just dawned on me. You know what? Playing around. I got a dollar bill from somebody. Just went over to the ref and tried to hand it to him.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Just, just, just a little night, little life fun, you know, keep the game loose, keep everybody, you know. How much they fine you? Only 30 grand. See? It was worth it. the game lose, keep everybody. How would they find you? Only only 30 grand fee. It was worth it. God, it was a fail. Don't want anything.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Anybody to think anything is improper. Yeah, and they're going to just have it with that one. Yeah, they did. They let me have it. But to me, it was worth it. They like just think about we're in the middle of a game
Starting point is 00:28:41 and a dual challenge fag. And here go my crazy ass trying to hand a dollar ref to give me the catch. Yes. It's fun. It's all in good fun. And that was, that was, that was just me. Yeah. I just think the thing is, look, I know Warren. Um, I played, I was in the league when one was in the league, uh, went to pro bowls together. He was in Seattle when I was in Denver. We played against him when he was in Minnesota. So I know Warren been to a couple of events with him.
Starting point is 00:29:09 And I think he has because Deshaun started in Houston. And I think if I'm not mistaken, I think he still has a place in Houston, even though he might spend some time in Houston and Seattle. But at the end of the day, Deshaun, look, Deshaun, you ain't changing nobody's perception. Even if you go out there and throw for five thousand yards and 50 touchdown, people have have made up their mind on who and what they believe. Deshaun Watson is. So at this point in time, you just got to say effort. As long as the people that you love, they love you, they care about you.
Starting point is 00:29:39 That's all that matters. Yeah, that's it, bro. At some point. And that's what is going to have to come down to, if I can share the, if I can share with Dashaun anything, that's it. And I'm, I'm learning because I've never, I've never been as popular in this as a celebrity as I am now, Ocho. I've never had this many people take shots at me. But as I'm, as I'm learning of the thing that happened a couple of weeks ago, they're not like people just go make up their mind to say whatever they want to say.
Starting point is 00:30:10 They just go just make it up. What happened a couple of weeks ago? I don't know. I forgot. I forgot. But that's that's how you have to approach it. Oh, Joe. You just got to like people don't say what they want to say.
Starting point is 00:30:24 You know who you are. But that's that's how you have to approach it. Oh, Joe, you just got to like, right. People don't say what they want to say. You know who you are. Just never let them convince that you're something that you're not. Yeah. And when they take shots and keep talking about me and. Man, I mean, I see a dude. His podcast is all talking about me. I'm like, damn, I want to shut up for like a month or so. So he could go out of business. Right. If I didn't say nothing, he'd go out of business.

Now I'm in the driver's seat. Yeah. Even though I'm in the driver's seat, I still remember when I used to be in the backseat.
Starting point is 00:36:27 So I'm going to manage my expectation because there's always a possibility. Damn. My ego ain't that big. I ain't got that much pride to think. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, everybody can get got. Oh, but it everybody done got got everybody.

Yeah, but not the other guys. Why me? Right, right. Well, she want to be seen in public with you. Yeah, but not the other guys. Why me? Right, right. Well, listen you you the safe option. That's what when women do that you to safe option See the ones the ones where she don't want to be seen in it. It's just horizontal activity Sometimes vertical depending on how creative he is That's that's the bad boy. That's the ones your mama said don Don't bring him on to me. That's the fun guy.
Starting point is 00:37:45 No. Women love the fun guy. Yeah, but I- Guy you know sometimes if you want to threesome, she'll get that to the fun guy. But the guy she actually like, and that's the same option. Oh shit, I mean you-
Starting point is 00:37:57 I'm just trying to do, I'm trying to wheelbarrow just like the W-13 guy. That's all. You trying to what? I'm trying to wheelbarrow. Trying to what? You end up, you know. 13 guy. That's all I'm trying to wheelbarrow. You know, that's all you're trying to do. I would try to do nothing else. Oh, she
Starting point is 00:38:15 saw it. She saw the potential. Yeah. He thought of potential. You know, mashing dash. You know what I'm saying? Oh, you see how they run off in the store. They break the glass. Yeah. Grab a few items to get up out of there? That's all I'm trying to do. That's it, that's all I'm trying to do. Smash the dash.

I don't know what you got the Hubble telescope because I can't see that far. No value out your damn back. Oh hell no. I don't know how you saw that.
Starting point is 00:38:57 No. Hey, that's the that's the bad part about a woman seeing you as a partner and having the potential. Because if you're the fun guy and they know you're just the fun guy, that's the best part, because you get to do any and everything. If you if you're the same option, you don't want to have potential, then you get the you get the shit into the state. I guess I know for a day. You shouldn't tell nobody just want to have fun with me. Then you get the you get the shit into the state. I guess I ain't no fun there Nobody just want to have fun with me And nobody's gonna be to just hey and nobody just tell a beta come over and you come over do it you do we do
Starting point is 00:39:36 Huh? Listen, listen, I'm glad I'm old I'm at the game and and what I'm talking about and experiences some of the things when I was in my younger days You know, and I remember what those days was like, you know, I knew it was like to be the fun guy, you know, and the fun guy got just that all the fun. Yeah, they didn't take. But why do you want to settle down with me though, Ocho? Why, why I got to be the guy to settle down with. Why you got the homestead me? No, but you're a safe option. You own, look what you got going on. You got, you know. But it's always been like that, Ocho. I've always been the guy that the girls
Starting point is 00:40:13 want to settle down with after they know I don't know what they've been doing. Why you wanna settle down with me? Why I can't be like him? That's all I'm asking. Hold on. I'm still mad about the chick telling she got pregnant from somebody else and talk about she telling her boyfriend, well, you're going to take care of it. Not asking them, listen, well, you said it's not a mistake. I'm pregnant, but I'm not going to terminate it. But if you're willing to help me raise it, I would really be grateful.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Yeah. And how do you as a as a as a as a guy, how do you never mind? Damn, yeah, I don't know. Who that made me want to throw up? Yeah, but I mean, they told me to chance it. Oh, you got money. I ain't always have no money, though. But I've always, i've always been the guy Obviously y'all know my situation. Y'all know who I girl is well documented. I didn't have no money
Starting point is 00:41:14 But women have all women for the most part. Oh, chou have really had a little money now. Don't do that You had a little money now. I have no money growing up. I mean, what's my brother? Yeah, what's my brother? What's my brother? He was at savannah state. You had a little you had a little money. Now I had no money growing up. I mean, what's my brother with you? Oh, what's my brother with you? Yeah, what's my brother? What's my brother? When he was at Savannah State, you had a little, you had a little, you had a little chain. When my brother, my brother got,
Starting point is 00:41:31 went to the league in 88, which was my junior year in college. See, the women understood that. Oh, his brother in the league. Yeah. Oh, this is a, this is a safe option. This is the opportunity. I'm trying to lock in with him.
Starting point is 00:41:44 I don't want to have fun with him. I don't wanna have fun with him because I can see where it might lead to. But see, now the fun guy, you know what, you're the fun guy, you know it ain't going away. I was hoping, you know, normally, see, you know what it is, Ocho? The champs say, oh, they look at you as being serious because you don't eat cheeks.
Starting point is 00:42:01 See, if you were to eat cheeks, you see what I'm saying? I put the, hey, I finna find one. Hey, Ocho, I finna pull the curries back. Hey, you gon' thank your home. Say, oh, you lookin' at the curries? Because see, they did, they wouldn't take me serious. That's what I gotta do. A man gotta do what a man gotta do. I told you. I told you. What? Hey, what you need to do, I call it, you need to expand your palate. I told you what you what you need to do. I call it. You need to expand your palette. Expand expand.
Starting point is 00:42:30 They won't take me seriously. They like, oh, you do that. I can't. You ain't no husband material. Oh, no, you are you husband material. No, you husband material. Yeah, listen, if you don't do it, if you don't do it, she will find somebody that does. But that's not a joke. But see, my thing was, I'm like, hold on. If we set, if we establish the rules, okay, what, what are we doing?
Starting point is 00:42:51 Right. How are we doing this? Right. Are we playing, are we playing big joker, little joker, ace queen, or we playing big joker, little joker, deuce and diamond, deuce and spade? I just wanna know how we playing the game. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:43:04 See, you could be good at any game if you understand the rules and you willing to win. So all you need to do is tell me the game that we play because I read up on it and I'll get good at it. Right. Well, you just said a word right there, boy. And I ain't even got my pen and paper. I ain't even got my notepad right now, but you just said a word right there, boy. And I ain't even got my pen and paper. I ain't even got my notepad right now, but you just said a word.
Starting point is 00:43:29 So you know what? I'm sorry, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we're going to talk about it a little later. It was one game. It was one, one awful, awful game. Well, but the offense or the Miami Dolphins Ocho, they were good and terrible today. Third year quarterback was slow to make a decision, which is something that plagued him as a rookie in 2021.
Starting point is 00:43:49 That slow processing speed resulted in five sacks that was eventually he knocked out of the game with a chest injury. Miami side signed Tyler Huntley last week. And while he was in active Sunday, he might have to step into a starting role. Excuse me, because Tua is expected to, he to heat up our so which means he'll have to miss at least the next three ballgames. Yeah. And watch the difference.
Starting point is 00:44:13 What's the difference. And when Tyler hunting comes in, especially even though it's probably be only a week's time, even though there'll be only so much of the playbook that he will be accustomed to based on how much information he can process in a short amount of time before they play again. Watch how different the doctors look with Tyler Humley at the helm. Watch. Oh, so they are.
Starting point is 00:44:37 They better get this thing. They better fix it in a hurry, man. They can't. Yeah, I mean, they're best run to be over. And by the time to if to a does come back, they're gonna be so far gone. Oh, sure. It'd be over. by the time to if to it does come back they're gonna be so far gone oh joy to be over they could they could they could ill afford to lose any more game because there could be a situation oh Joe by the time tool gets back they could
Starting point is 00:44:57 be o and seven oh because it's not like they played lights out defense. Their situation is get a lead with that track team. They got it skill positions and now we could turn the dogs loose on you. We make you one dimensional. But what happens when you can't get a lead and then you don't have tour that operate that knows how to get the ball to waddle and get the ball to a reek and get the ball to those guys Then what?
Starting point is 00:45:31 It gets ugly It could Tyler Tyler gonna make a difference though. I hope so They need to make a difference cuz right now they they struggling no joke Yeah, there's nothing in it help doesn't seem to be on the horizon Cuz like you said, I mean he just got there Hell, he probably he probably have to steal program put it in the GPS to get them practice Yeah, all right I don't know. Now it's time to shoot it.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Hey, let me use the bathroom real good. I show hope. Is he is that a closet in a roll hanging up? Yeah, I'm in a closet. Oh Lord have mercy. I sure hope he wash his hands. I don't hear no water running. And use soap too.
Starting point is 00:46:36 You are the ones go to the bathroom and just use wet regular water. Don't put no soap or nothing. It was some good games today y'all. use regular water, don't put no soap or nothing. It was some good game today y'all. What y'all think? Oh, we ain't even got age, we ain't talking about age. Man. that man got some cheap y'all got, you got two of them old cheap hangers up in there. Boom.
Starting point is 00:47:11 You. Oh, I'm in a hotel. Oh, they got, they got me. Hey, they got me in this big ass suite, right? But it ain't got no desk where I could put my computer. So I had, I'm in the closet. That's why you see, you see you see the roads and hangers. I mean, it's really dope.
Starting point is 00:47:28 So it's like the bathroom and. Not as oh, not as good material. It's good material. I think this is probably Egyptian. Huh? That's Egyptian cotton, like five thousand count. OK. Huh? That's Egyptian cotton, like 5,000 count. Hmm. OK.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Oh, before we get to Q&A, Asia Wilson, congratulations, Asia Wilson. Only the second. Congratulations, Asia. Only the second. Congratulations, BAM, out of bio. Unanimous MVP. The first was the inaugural season.
Starting point is 00:48:00 Cynthia Cooper was the unanimous MVP. Since then, there have never been another repeat unanimous MVP. That was until today. Asia Wilson, unanimous MVP. Also, Ojo had had, you can make a case statistically, she had the greatest individual season in the WNBA history. Average 27 points, average 12 rebounds, average two and a half blocks, two assists, two steals. She shot 50% from the floor.
Starting point is 00:48:32 So I thought she took it, I think she took it personal last year. I believe she should have won the MVP last year. She didn't. So now she's, I think one of three women to win three MVPs. Lisa Leslie did it. Cheryl Swo Leslie did it Cheryl
Starting point is 00:48:45 Swoops did it and now Asia Wilson has done it. I don't think she's done yet. I think she's 28 years of age. She's still like just now getting into her prime. I can see her winning a couple of more along with a couple of finals MVP and she was first team all NBA WNBA which she should have been and we have a unanimous rookie of the year selection Caitlin Clark Caitlin Clark with a unanimous MVP rookie of the year she also was first team WNBA now I don't know how many unanimous rookie of the years I'm sure Candace Parker was a
Starting point is 00:49:24 unanimous rookie of the year because she won the Candace Parker was a unanimous rookie of the year because she won the MVP that season when she was a rookie. Maybe Maya Moore. But off the top of my head, I can't think of anybody else that probably could have been. Like I said, Candace, Maya Moore, maybe Simone Augustus, maybe DT. But, but hello.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Where are the women at now? Y'all real quiet. Y'all had a lot to say earlier. Oh, Steve, they don't know what they're talking about. She don't deserve this. See what people try to do, Ocho. I was having a conversation with the guy, they say, I would say like Devontae blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:50:03 But anyway, he's like Devontae Adam, Devontae Smith is gonna have a better career than you. I said, no matter what type of career a person has, it doesn't diminish what I've already done. See what the women were trying to say is that because we're talking about Caitlin Clark, like it diminishes what Lisa Leslie, what Cheryl Fuchs, what DT, what what no it does not
Starting point is 00:50:26 They did that and it cannot be taken away Right right now if you look at the games that Caitlin Clark went to a tenders dropped by 88% when she wasn't there Look at the sale it speaks for themselves. All you have to do is just look at the obvious right for themselves. All you have to do is just look at the obvious. Right. And I see y'all make it seem like the girl was a bum. Look at what she averaged. Look at the amount of siss. Look at the amount of point. And she got a team in the playoffs as the sixth seed. But y'all still want to talk this foolishness. She deserved to be on the Olympic team. When you look at some of the guards and their play there, Caitlin Clark,
Starting point is 00:51:06 damn well could have, should have been on that team. And you can't convince me otherwise, but now you ain't saying, Oh, she's playing really well. That is what you were saying then. Now I'm, I need y'all, which y'all know who I'm talking to. I ain't gonna call your name, but you know who you're worth. Now I want y'all to, with the same who you were. Now I want y'all with the same venom and the same hostility that y'all went on there
Starting point is 00:51:28 and y'all was talking about Steve and A&I, I want y'all to run it back.

Starting point is 00:56:29 Bud Grant once said, when you speak at such an auspicious occasion, he said you stand up nice and tall, you speak nice and loud, and you make it nice and short. So when you sit your ass down, people will still like you. So I want you to go on the air, and I want you to sit up nice and tall, and I want you to speak nice and loud, and you ain't got to still like it. So I want you to go on the air and I want you to sit up nice and tall and I want you to speak nice and loud and you ain't gotta make it long. Ain't nobody saying nothing now.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Everybody had a whole lot to say. Why ain't nobody talking now? Create your own planet. Oh Joe, one of the things that why I wanted to do Nightcap cause I had a vision of what I what it could be. But I wanted somebody that like, you know what, if we want to talk about basketball, we talk about basketball. If we want to talk about track and field, I say, man, I want to talk. I like track and field. Hey, we're gonna do the Olympics. Oh Joe, we're
Starting point is 00:57:22 gonna talk about we're gonna have seven, eight, nine days where we talk track and field. Create a platform. You can talk about whatever you want to talk about. If I want to talk about, if we want to talk about the WWE, we can talk about the WWE. If we want to talk about the UFC, I can talk about what the Daytona five one, the Daytona 500, NASCAR, F1, whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Right. I want y'all to run it back. And give that woman her props, because she brought more eyes than anybody in the history that's ever played in the league, whether you like it or not. It's fact. It's not conjecture. It's not innuendo innuendo, and it's not speculation.
Starting point is 00:58:07 The numbers bear it out. I thought they want to give it no credit because y'all thought if we talked about Caitlin Clark, we're diminishing Myle Moore. We're diminishing Candace Parker. We're diminishing Lisa Leslie. We're diminishing Sheryl Swoops. Or Cynthia Cooper. Or Lauren Jackson.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Or Daraf Diana Taurasi. No, two things can be true. Those players are great. And Caitlin Clark is the real deal. She ain't hype. She can actually play at an elite level. And people need to stop that. You can praise Patrick Mahomes without trying without diminishing Tom Brady.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You can talk about T.J. Watt without diminishing Lawrence Taylor. I don't know this notion that you feel that if I hate if I praise somebody, I diminish somebody over here, no, that I got nothing to do. Right. But I need you to run that. I need you to do. Right. But I need y'all to run that now. I need y'all to run that. Run it.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Run it. Now I know this is gonna make the rounds. And if you think I'm talking to you, I am. Make no mistake. I am. If you think, like, man, I wonder if he talking to me. I am you. Yes. Yes. Yes absolutely With 100% but certainty I'm talking to you
Starting point is 00:59:38 Unanimous rookie of the year first team all NBA as a rookie of the year. First team, all NBAs, as a rookie. But he didn't, he didn't earn, man y'all need to stop playing. Oh now we go, hey we got, since you had to go to, hey let's re-cue the, let's re-cue the uh uh the graphic. Now it's time Ocho for Q&A. the graphic. Now it's time Ocho for Q and A. Hey look at how you see how big I got y'all. Yeah man you putting on the weight man. I mean dang Ocho. Yeah. Yeah. You see it. You see it. For the Atlanta Falcons not retiring Roddy White and Mike Big Jersey numbers is a total disrespect. I can't understand that.
Starting point is 01:00:28 The Falcons had too many opportunities to win that game and they blew it like always. Can't understand that organization for the likes of me. Ocho, do you believe the Falcons should retire Roddy White and Mike big Jersey numbers? Uh, I think it would be, it'd be a great gesture. Um, right. White was one hell of a play up by Roddy. Right. Was hell of a play up man for the Falcons and, and, and it has some good days with them.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Michael, Michael Vick is iconic figure retiring that seven would, would, would, I was there. Smackdown in the middle of it. Boy. Well, he was special. He was special. The city was a lesson. I was there. Smackdown in the middle of it. Boy. Well, he was special. He was special. The city was a lesson. I was there. Smackdown in the middle of it. Boy, well he was special. He was, he was special. The city was a franchise player, a transcending talent at the position. Yeah. Most definitely. That's why I thought they would be interested in Justin Fields because can you imagine because he has that type of electricity,
Starting point is 01:01:42 his ability to run the football. Uh, now I don't think I don't know if he has that type of electricity his ability to run the football uh now i don't think i don't know if he has the arm like mike because mike is throwing 80 yards that left hand that tight spiral rope with the with the flick of the wrist effortless you remember that monday night throw the djack when he was with the eagles hold on did you see how far he didn't got there play action? Yeah, he that role Boy he let that thing you let it go but uh Lady rain hey guys it behooves me to this point that y'all and everyone else doubted my viking that both of you picked the Texas The way we killed it on both offensive defense three and oh, baby. It's cold. Yeah, lady. Oh
Starting point is 01:02:22 Hold on surprised. Oh, you must be watching the game from the bar because I know you weren't home watching it. But anyway, yeah, I was surprised. I picked the Texans and if the Vikings won, I didn't think they would take them apart like they did because I think the Texans are a good team. I really do. And I think most people think the Texans are a good team.
Starting point is 01:02:41 But over the next couple of weeks, we're going to have to play a close attention to the Vikings because the Vikings might be better than we previously thought also, especially on the defensive side of the football. We know they have the skill position players or Joe, uh, you know, uh, Justin Jefferson, even though Addison is, isn't back nailer, they got some guys that can make plays, they signed Aaron Jones, uh, in free agency. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm surprised that you guys took them apart.
Starting point is 01:03:09 And congratulations, the Bikes, 3 and 0, look good. Beat two very good teams. They beat the 49ers last week. Now they take apart the Houston Texans. So yeah, you should gloat a little bit. Isadora Gamboa, man, Ocho, why you ignoring me at the Raiders game, man? You seen, you seen me too.
Starting point is 01:03:29 And I asked for a pick and you said no. And took one look and took one with the guy next to me. That's F'd up, man. That's still F'd up. I still F'd with you guys. Yeah, Ocho, see? Get him Isadora, get him. He must, he must've been in the,
Starting point is 01:03:44 he must've been in his hands. I can't take no picture if you're up in the stand. I take one and I gotta keep it moving. I'll be out there all day. I got you next time though, baby, and I love you. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy said, at this point the only player that deserves $240 million on the Cowboys is our kicker, Brandon Aubrey.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Hey, he the red. Oh yeah. He had missed from 50 yards. Uh, he got what he's 15, 15, 16 to 16 to start a career. No other kickers ever done that in the history of the game. And we know we've had some good kickers, a couple of them in the hall and a couple of going, um, but he's unbelievable. He's, but unfortunately it's been a situation, no Joe that, uh,
Starting point is 01:04:25 they hadn't been in a position where he'd make a kick to win the game for. Yeah, yeah, he hasn't felt that pressure yet. It's coming, it's coming, it's time coming. 34Burgo said, Chad, I'm in Fort Lauderdale, my son is 11 and I need advice on wide receiver videos or a place here to take him to learn early.

Starting point is 01:05:54 That's why, bro. Why don't we hear this more often? I mean, I thought everybody knows I was a backup kicker in Cincinnati. I was a punter in high school, obviously, you know, because of my soccer background. I was a backup punter in Cincinnati. I was a backup field goal kicker in Cincinnati. I was the emergency kicker, which is why I had to kick when we played New England and my kick obviously won the game.
Starting point is 01:06:18 I mean, you know, it is what it is. I told you I'd be thinking I'd be lying about all my extra endeavors You know in different sports I do it all Baby Maria TV said hey uncle no child was wondering what is something a woman said to you that will never forget in your life Good bad.

She said, uh, I remember we were sitting down and, uh, she just looked at me and she said, I remember we were sitting down and she just looked at me. And she said, I hate I met you. I said, why?
Starting point is 01:07:32 She said, Shannon, I'm never going to meet somebody like you. That's as disciplined as you are, as dedicated as you are, as funny as you are, as well spoken as you are. I know that. And I hate that because moving forward, I'm going to judge every man by you. Come on. That's a word right there. And I just wrote, and I just remember thinking like, damn.
Starting point is 01:08:07 Mm. As a word, all I can say was like, I'm sorry. Right. And that's that little scene, that sound like a Tyler Perry movie right there, man, like a like, like a lifetime scene, she liked that. That was the one that that played that song, uh, that song trust by Michelle and Diego cello. Oh, that's why you like it so much.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Ah, okay. Okay. But the, Hey, that's all man. It was like, and you know, look, it's happened. I mean, I've been in a situation, no chill. You know, I told you the story. I said, the mind replays what the heart can't delete. It's on a loop.

Though what do you know? Sometimes you, you go back and like, what could you have done differently? What should you have done differently?
Starting point is 01:09:56 And, uh, you know, I think the thing is for me, Ocho, God put me in this situation, he has me exactly where he wanted me to be, right? Right. Right. He doesn't make any mistakes. So who am I to question that I should have done something differently or I could have done something differently. Um.
