["The Daily Show Theme"] Ocho, less than a week after the Athletic published a story detailing the dysfunction within the New York Jets organization, Aaron Rodgers used his latest appearance on the Pat McAfee Show to address leaks to journalists. There are some interesting things that go on in every organization, some that would

like to be left uncovered, but it seems like there are those that don't always that doesn't that don't always get left uncovered they get covered it can't be the norm that so many leaks and so many people continue to have conversation whether it's getting some sort of anger revenge or even what people who are still in the building he's saying that it was was untrue but anyway okay obviously what's best for the Jess is not having those types of leaks all the time. When you get, when that gets figured out, it'll be a little easier to win.

That doesn't have a direct impact on players in the field, but it does have an impact on the culture and the chemistry and overall energy of the building. That's what needs to get better. I love how you talk about the culture and the energy when that wasn't an issue with the mandatory mini camp. Yeah, that wasn't it. He didn't concern himself about culture. I mean, I'm trying to figure out how does he think a culture

gets established? Does he understand how a culture gets established? Tom Brady was missing many camps in order for the, the, the, the Patriot way, which was the Brady way. But if the Patriot is a team, because it's the Patriots that started coming out at the Superbowl introduction as a team. Now everybody comes out of the team because prior to that they brought the offense out or they brought the defense out.

The Patriots came out of the team, but Tom Brady was the foundation piece. Okay. How can Tom Brady show up the mandatory mini camp or OTAs and somebody else not be there? How does Peyton Manning, how does the Ray Lewis, how did these guys show up? The great thing about a leader. And after what I tell young people today, you can never ask more than you're willing to give.

You can't ask somebody to do something that you're not willing to do your damn self. So how do I tell guys, guys, we need to show up. Guys, we need to be here. Let's spend a little extra meeting time. Guys, go look at you, hold on, bro. You remember that mandatory meeting camp we had? Guys, go look at you sideways. Yeah.

You can't ask more than you're willing to give. Hey, do you think he's lost the respect of his players, the respect of his teammates? You know, you think about how we view Aaron Rodgers on the outside. I'm curious to how the players in the locker room view him. Obviously, I've never played with anyone like that that has some of the issues that he does have have says some of the things that he does say misses some of the

Important things when it comes to the game of football I've never been on a team with someone like that so I'm curious how today's player players this era of type of no-nonsense do-it-your-way the kind of culture we have now and The type of individuals we have now and the type of individuals we have in this in today's game the young era as I as I call it I wonder how they view them as teammates me from a distance series yeah basing it on my experience I look at Aaron Rodgers as an influence in the locker room not a leader in the locker room hmm They're two different things.

What, when you say influence, now influence in one way, because the influence hasn't been good. It hasn't been good, it hasn't been bad. You tell me. It hasn't been, shh. Listen, they say you might be teammates, but you're not here to be friends, you're here for one job. And the job that he's there for ain't getting done. It's hard when you played that position

Because you're normally you ask the guys you're asking look at the teams that win and look at the leaders in the locker room look at Brady Look at Manny Look at a Lewis Look at those guys. Right. They win consistently. They win because they do things

and when they ask someone else to do it, it's not a problem because that guy knows this is exactly what Tom Brady's doing. This is exactly what Ray Lewis is doing. This is exactly what Peyton Manning is doing. This is exactly what John Brady's doing. This is exactly what Ray Lewis is doing. This is exactly what Peyton Manning is doing. This is exactly what John Elway's doing. Now, I ask you to do something. And you're not doing sad things.

And I know you're not doing sad things. I love it, look. I love it. Look, I love I love I love the thing that I knew about loved about seven. And I wanted for my leader is I wanted football to be the most important thing because you're telling me you telling me you wanted to be the most important thing to me. You say, Shannon, I want you to study. Shannon, I want you to be in the best physical condition you possibly can be. I want you to give it your all. Right.

But that's not what you're doing. How can you ask a man to do something that you're not willing to do? Right. Yeah, stories gonna get out. I think more stories have gotten, but stories got out in Green Bay. That's how we found out that the Packers did not run the hiring.

Matt LaFleur's hiring by Aaron Rodgers. That's how we found out that the, that, uh, uh, uh, Matt, uh, Murphy, Mark Murphy said, don't you be the problem. They leaked that. Yeah. On purpose. Yes. Things are leaked on purpose. Yeah. I mean, he knows. I mean, he should know. I mean, you've been around the NFL long

enough to understand how things get out. They do. No, there's always a source. There's always a leak. And things that come out, they come out on purpose. There's a reason for it. You know, uh, I think I think uh, is that and and people like, oh, that's come you have to understand there's a reason why the Shepters and the Shams and rest his soul, Chris Mortenson and the J Glaser, their Glaser, there's a reason why they have jobs. They fostered and cultivated relationships with individuals, be it players, be it coaches, be it owners, be it general managers.

And so when stuff comes out, why are we shocked? You heard it, you just didn't wanna believe it because it was about your favorite team. It was about your favorite players. Your favorite players, yeah. So you didn't wanna believe it, you just didn't want to believe it because it was about your favorite team. It was about your favorite players. Your favorite players, yeah. So you didn't want to believe it, but it was right, it was on the wall. It does.

Look, I had a great, Adam Schefter and I came into the league together. He was in Denver. Right. I used to go, I used to go to dinner with Adam Schefter and his parents when they came to town. I had that type of relationship. But you ain't get no football stuff out of Shannon now.

Right. Our relationship is our relationship. Hey, you came in, you were the rookie, I was the rookie together. Hey, we love, hey, but that was the extent of it. I'm not giving you no information. Right. I've had I have for the most part, I've always had a great relationship, be it Mark Kisler, Woody Page, you know, all the guys that wrote for Denver. Bob Kravitz, Bob Kravitz, he writes, I think he's a columnist in Indy now.

He was in Denver. I've always had great relationships with them. They asked me, I'll be as honest as I possibly can, but you watching the game, but I'm not giving you no information of such and such as he's not, he's dogging it and he missed practice and he didn't come to meetings. I don't do none of that stuff like that. and he didn't come to meetings. I don't do none of that stuff like that. But,

whoo! With Tankdale out, Ocho, the Houston, Texas have claimed former Ravens wire receiver, Steelers wire receiver, Carolina wire receiver, Deontay Johnson. I think it's reported that Tankdale suffered a dislocated kneecap and a torn ACL. Johnson was now

spending Christmas in the company of the Ravens as the Houston booth host Excuse me, Baltimore on Wednesday. Yeah. Oh Joe, I tried to tell you I mean you had this conversation I say oh Joe. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I say that behavior. I say yeah, they will tolerate you until they replace you. You cannot intentionally take that type of behavior on every job. Now I don't know what transpired in, in, in, in, in, um, in Carolina, but it's hard for me to see a scenario as devoid of talent as they are, they're willing to get rid of a

guy mid season when they need receivers. They need quality players, but for them to move on, wouldn't they give up, wouldn't Baltimore give up a six round pick? They traded six round picks or gave up a six and they traded separate rounds or something like that. They gave a six round pick. Yeah. Give him a feel. Okay, they acquired so they gave him a fifth, but they get a six in return at Deontay Johnson. I hope this.

I hope he learned. You did a great situation in Pittsburgh and they moved on. Um, the situation in Carolina, I can see that you got a rookie quarterback. That's not the best situation, but you had a really good situation in Baltimore. Hopefully this is this young man's last stop. Um, he plays well enough. And if it is his last stop, he plays well enough that he can go somewhere and find a home But at some point time bro, you're the common denominator from teams moving on

Right What you got? Oh Joe It's all about finding the right fit It's all about find the right right fit find the right team being in the right situation where they allow you That allow you to showcase your skill set. How can you be of value to me? Now you go to a Texans team where Tankdale is out. And I think you're not going to be Tankdale, but they can put you in situations

where you can make some of the same plays that Tankdale was making. Deontay, I mean, Brother Johnson is a great route runner, very twitchy, fast. He can run routes, he can get in and out of his cuffs, great lateral movement. is a great route runner, very twitchy, fast. He can run routes, he can get in and out of his cuffs, great lateral movement. I think he can create a mismatch for the Texans

the same way Tank Dale, if put in the right situation and given the right opportunities, he can help that offense tremendously and take some of that pressure off of Nico Collins having to do everything, having to be the focal point of the offense when it's time to pass the ball. So I think I think he's going to be okay. I think the offense suits him in his skill set and what he does very well. And it's very important and it's imperative whoever is calling the plays puts him in the right position based on his strengths as a

receiver, not just plugging him in there, just to plug him in there like they were doing with him in other places. Right. Ocho, you gotta build up the trust. You just can't, bro, you not D-Hawk. You remember what I told you, I said, Ocho, as D-Hawk gets more familiar with the offense, they're gonna, you don't get to go in there immediately thinking you're gonna take over Zay, Zay Flowers and Bateman. And you're gonna get Andrews and you're gonna get Likely. You're gonna get the, bro, it's not gonna happen like that. Excuse me, you feel. And you're gonna get Andrews and you're gonna get likely you're gonna get the role. It's not gonna happen like that Excuse me you feel Mm-hmm, and you're gonna get a lot of targets

It's a different offense to yes different off great. They even in today's hat pass happy error Oh, they run in the ball first. So the opportunities to you in the air are gonna come far and few That that just that's just what it is now, Houston. Now Houston now they don't throw they gonna throw that thing a little bit more right. They don't they don't slang it. Okay, learn what you spoke be where you're supposed to be learned office as best you can.

Hey, yeah, please. I mean, you're gonna have to learn to play you're're gonna have to make you know, in your system. Okay, because the way I learned about the Ravens office is like, Oh, this is a wall route. This is a basic cross a Chevy is a corner route. This is what so that's how I like Okay, when I heard that, okay, that's what that is. So I would write down, okay, what is called? What was

this called in Denver's office until I could equate it? Like, okay, what this call, what was this call in Denver's office until I could equate it to like, okay, now it's second nature, I know it. It's a corner, it's a basic cross, it's a shallow cross, it's a wall route. So I wish him the best of luck because I wanna see the young man, I wanna see the young man do well.

I know he's frustrated, feeling unwanted, but now you get to, at the end of the day, you get to control your destiny. Go out there, work hard and hey, make them cut you. Don't cut yourself. Yeah. I think he cut himself in Baltimore, Ocho.

Yeah, definitely. He did. The Lions OC Ben Johnson, reportedly intrigued by the Bears head coach position. He should be, cause that offense can be as explosive as Detroit's. You look at what they have offensively, Adunze, DJ Moore, Kenan Allen, Cole Comette.

Now running back, obviously you don't have a Montgomery and you don't have a Gills, but you got, I mean, you could look, you can go in the draft and get a running back, obviously you don't have a Montgomery and you don't have a Gills, but you got, I mean, you could, look, you can go in the draft and get a running back and they're gonna be running backs available and you could scheme them up and get that, you know, get a couple of pieces on the offensive line, but offensively, Ocho, they got the skill position player

to be really, really good. Very, very. position player oh yeah to be really really good very very I'm trying to try and think I don't know if a job is gonna be available that has better skill position you oh no and the team that do those coaches they ain't going nowhere no they ain't they definitely ain't going to it but but but for Ben Johnson for what he's able to do, with the creativity that he has, that he's taken from Detroit and bring it to the Bears,

can pay dividends for that young quarterback. I like it. Having someone like that can pay dividends for that young quarterback. I'm telling you, it can do more, it can't do more harm than, it'll be more good than harm for that matter. Yes.

To have a quarterback like that with that type of creativity from an offensive perspective, that damn, that'd be good. I'm trying to think. Keenan, DJ Moore, Cole Comet, Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen's back next year too, right? He's not, no, he's on a one year deal. Because remember they wanted him to take a pay cut and it was the Chargers.

And he said, no, I came off my best season. I ain't taking no pay cut. Okay, you got a doomsday. You got DJ Moore who signed the extension. Yeah, I got that, yeahday. I got dj morris side of the extension. Uh, yeah, it's only uh, rome is only uh, a rookie deal You got cold command quality tightening You can use some offensive left a couple offensive linemen I'm sure some will be available. You have to play it and you got plenty money under the cap

Because you got a rookie quarterback. You got a rookie rookie wide receiver. receiver, you need to get Kenan Allen back for sure. For sure. Because he's put together, I mean, you watched him on, maybe it's just Detroit, but you watched him against Detroit on Thanksgiving, you watched him against Detroit, he killed. He killed, I mean, hey, I like Kenan's game. Former NFL QB, Lou Young, is that the comedian the guy to be putting on the skits?

Yeah, that Lou, you know Lou? Yeah, spent his entire rookie signing bonus in one day, but Bradley Roby made sure he was good during the off season. Was he in, cuz Bradley got drafted by the Broncos. He was with the Broncos. Louis was with the Broncos? I didn't know that. Okay.

God damn Lou. Hey Lou funny as hell, boy. No, I didn't, I did not know that. I did not know that. Wait, so, so what happened there? He spent his entire signing bonus in one day. Bro, how about they give you 25? Hell nah.

Hey, that's funny. Oh man, that's funny. Oh, man, that's funny. Goddamn, Lou. Listen, it happens. It happens to the it happens. It happens to the best of them. Yeah. You know, you know, it goes fast. It goes fast.

You get you get a certain amount of money and people always say what they would do. I'd be able to say this. I'd be able to do that. Well, if I had that much money, this is what I would do. No, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. Because the smallest, the small amounts that you get now, you don't know to do it. Thank you. You know, you don't save your money. You don't say the money you got now. And this, you know, everybody's come back with hell. I don't make enough to goddamn say anything anything I get it got to go towards bills

Well, what's the thing gonna happen if you get more than enough where it can couple your bills and you got extra left? No, because what you're gonna do you're gonna get something to mount to to match the amount of money that you make it You're gonna get a bigger home. You're gonna get nicer car. You're gonna get jewelry You're gonna get nicer clothes you the money that you have now is that you're spending because that's where you are. When you make more, you spend more. It requires more. Especially today's time,

the way everybody's house getting hit, you gotta definitely have 24 hour security, Ocho. Yeah, man. Yep, most definitely. Yeah, 5,000. 5,000 ain't really no money, but hell. Why the hell you buy? So wait, listen, you got to listen, Luke in Denver, he went to what you call it with a wild horse.

What's the name of it? Who thunder? No, it's about what's the name of the strip club now? Oh, oh, you talking about they got my high saloon. They got shotgun willies and they got diamond cabaret. He might've went to diamond cabaret or shotgun willies and that's why I was gone. And they used to, I don't know if they still got it.

They had this place over there that you put the money in and the curtains come back and the women be doing stuff in there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Now I'm intrigued. But what is this? I'm trying to I'm trying to think what was the name of that anybody from them what's the name of that place I don't know the name but I'm trying to think of the management

ooh but what you do you know they got a little play you little peekaboo play don't touch nothing don't touch a thing as a matter of fact keep your hands in your pocket right I just said it's real sticky in there that's all I'm gonna say I'm real sticky that's all I'm gonna say oh but you know you get the women you know the curtain you know you go put it in the women in there. They can take it. And you know, take it. No, it's closed. They like, no, you can't touch it. Oh, OK. OK. OK. OK. OK.

That's like some of the stuff I'll be seeing in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But those places are real. Yeah. Like you. Yeah. You just said when they have it in the movie, they got to get it from somewhere. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, for turning to stories and then they say somebody says call peekaboo. Well, that's the name of people. OK, that makes sense.

most people when they get tattoos, they just start, you stop wearing a shirt. You always go everywhere with your shirt on. I don't, I got it for me because of my love and passion for the killer whale. And listen, I can sit here and talk about killer whales all day, all day. So my favorite animal obviously is a killer whale

because all their instinctive traits, they're gone. They've been hand fed, they can't hunt, they can't be released back into the wild because all their instinctive traits, their goal, they've been, they've been hand fed. They can't hunt. They can't kill the chances of finding their part again. Oh, they never find that part again. And then a new party going to accept them. And then if they do fight exactly, will they be, will they accept them after all this time? Yeah, no.

Uh, man, you know, I like a whole lot. Who'd I like? I like, hold on, who that like? I like Mr. Ed, he wasn't no movie. Ed was talking. The horse? Yeah, I like Gus. You remember Gus kicked the field goals? Gus? Gus was walking in Disney movie.

Gus was kicking field goal. Gus kicked a 98 yard field goal to win the game. Yeah, I don't know what that is there, boy. I'm trying to think. I mean, obviously, yo, old Yeller, Ren 1010, you know. Oh, Ren 1010, that's a good one. Yeah, but I mean, if you take that you take that, if you take that animal out of wow, and then you know, you're not going to, why you take it if you know you can't really

re-release it back into the wild? I mean, a whale that size, man, you need to have like 50 acres, a hundred acres instead of that little ass pool. He's swimming round and round in circles. Yeah, that's always been the issue with captivity. Obviously why I stopped supporting it once I became familiar with watching the documentary Blackfish for those of you who don't know.

Oh yeah, then he killed that woman. I saw that movie. Yeah, he killed his trainer. Ms. Dawn, yeah, Dawn. He drug her down. Tilikum, tilikum. Yeah. Her hair was hanging. Benji. You like Benji, right?

Remember Benji? And I ain't seen Benji in years man, but that's a good one. What hold on. I got one for you Remember last oh, yeah, I remember last. Oh, yeah Collie was the Collie was famous because of Lassie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What about Old Yellow? Yep, mm-hmm. Yeah, Old Yellow. Old Yellow was a... A Labrador retriever.

It was a golden retriever. Golden retriever, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a good movie, that was a good movie. Oh, that bring back some memories, man. Exactly. Nah, they didn't let me have a raccoon or a possum but I want a mini I want a mini horse a mini cow and a mini goat. We told everybody about the Wizard of Oz, we told the Caring Terrier that put that dog that put the Caring Terrier on the map. On the map. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

With a yellow lab? OK. What are also Shamu? What happened? Shamu passed away? Yeah, of course. They all passed away in captivity. 19, we saw Shamu in 97.

So who was Shamu to? a sea world in San Diego? So what was the other so how did he get the name Shabba cuz I got a dog I Actually got what you call them they gave me all they gave us all gave me a what you call them because I mentioned it is he still alive is it still alive absolutely not Oh, I didn't say air bud. Airbud Airbud air Airbud Ocho Jaleel white walk back hood stories comment after he spoke about his hit show family matters The actor began to trend after he said if it's not in hood story It's not a black story Jaleel said he could have worded things better because when he used the word hood,

he didn't mean it in an offensive manner. There was no need for him to walk it back. He didn't need to walk it back because what he did say is true. It is true. The hood stories are glorified. They are. And that's a fact.

It's a fact. They just are. Would you classify Living Single as Hood or Martin? No, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying, I'm just saying in jury, those aren't, those aren't Hood stories. But that's what he's saying. His, for context purposes, he said that Living Single and Martin were Hood stories? Yes, he said it because that's why they're not, that's why his show wasn't as well received as theirs. Yeah, that doesn't fit.

That doesn't fit. I thought he meant, you know, in terms of what the audience likes and prefers better than Family Matters as opposed to a Family Matters as opposed to a Martin or Living Single. But absolutely, yeah. You could have a great show. I mean, look, it was a great, I mean, I mean, I like Family Matters. But did I like it like I like Martin? Did I like it like I like Living Single? No, I didn't. Completely different. It gives you, it gives you. Or Jamie

Foxx show. Hey, Jamie was funny. Jamie was funny and all of them are different all of them had a different flavor they all had something different to offer yes they all had some different offer so I'm glad he clarified it because we turned it we hear the term hood we make negative connotation right right I'm glad he cleared it up. Okay, Ocho. We got time for rough draft. Oh, hey, I'm gonna tell you right now. You finna lose this. No, because I get to go first.

I gotta study a little bit more. I gotta get my thesaurus. I gotta go through it from A to Z, look up some words, remember them, because they have a great photographic memories. My memory is like an elephant. That's all I gotta do. I gotta go back to the drawing board.

Yeah. God damn, that was horrible today. Shit. Yeah, that's two weeks got to do. I got to go back to the drum board. God damn that was horrible today. Shit. Yeah, that's two weeks in a row. Right now you over 10. Alright Ocho, now it's time for you to exact your revenge. Okay. Dunk on Unk. Here we go.

Okay. Alright. Oh yeah. here we go okay all right oh yeah okay then you might get this one right the chat might get this one right okay you ready don't go here we go baby here we go this active leading rookie. Wait a minute. This active NFL tight in Jesse Clips, 1000 receiving yards and 100 catches. Who is this? Brock Bowers. I knew you I knew he was going to get that. I knew he was going to get that. OK, I just want to throw you a little layup. OK, I appreciate that.

Matter of fact, I want to lay up. I want to throw you a bounce pass. OK, I appreciate that. Easy, easy. I like that. throw you a little layup. Okay. I appreciate that. Matter of fact, that wasn't a layup. I wanted to throw you a bounce pass. Okay. I appreciate that. Easy, easy. I like that, Ocho. Appreciate that. Good looking. That's all right.

That's all right. So it's the least I could do. Here we go. This rarely used special teams play. Still legal under NFL rules allows the team to attempt to field a goal immediately following a fair catch without a snap or rush. It's called a free kick. Say it rush. It's called a free kick. Say it again. It's called a free kick.

The charge is executed against the Broncos. They called a fair catch, he got pass in affairs. There was no, but they only do that when there's no time on the clock. Okay, it's called a fair kick kick. It's called a fair kick kick. It's called a free kick. Fair kick kick. No, the fair catch is when he does it. The's called a free kick. Fair catch.

No, the fair catch is when he does it. The free kick means it can't be blocked. So you just have to line up and the guy just kicks the ball. But go ahead Ocho, I got you, appreciate that. That's two for two. Let me get that thing here. You know what, Ocho, you know the rules. Hold on, hold on.

So you got that right? Yes. Okay. Long don't. All right, here we go, here we go, here we go. Known for the brutal winter conditions, which is the oldest stadium currently in use in NFL, which first opened in 1924. Woo-wee!

Lambo. That is absolutely wrong. Soldier Field? 1924, yep, 1924, Home of the Bear, Soldier Field, opened in 1924. Okay. Damn. Let's go, Ocho, we on a roll, baby, we on a roll,

we on a roll, we on a roll, here we go. Yeah, and you're gonna start losing them right here. Here we go. We on a roll, baby. We on a roll. We on a roll. We on a roll. Here we go. Yeah, we you gonna start losing them right here. Here we go. When the NFL was founded in 1920, it went by a different name. What was the original name called? Oh, my goodness. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We got NFL. What was it called? We don't stump him like the Schwab. He he he. Damn. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you ain't got this one. Nah. You ain't got no.

Cause I was gonna say oldest team, but it's. I don't know this. Take it to the back. Okay, I know you don't know it, but the name you're looking for, the answer you're looking for, sir, is called the American Professional Football Association. Yes, in 1920.

Here we go. You're not gonna get the rest of these anyway, just FYI, I'm just letting you know ahead of time. Ahem, chat, stay with me now. This active NFL receiver currently sits at number four on the most yards by a receiver in their first five seasons. Let me read this again. I'm gonna take it a little slower.

This active NFL receiver currently sits at number four on most yards by a wide receiver in their first five seasons. Who is he? Jamar Chase. That is absolutely wrong, but that is a good, that's a good answer. What is the, uh, Oh, you, the JJ. No, no, sir.

As you're looking for is CD land. He wears a star on his helmet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. CD. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You ain't doing too good. I told you. See. I gave you some layups. I gave you a layup and a bounce pass for the first two questions and now you're getting the hard one. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Monday night football debuted in 1970 and has become the blueprint for prime time sports. Which two teams played on the first Monday night football game and what was the score?

Oh my, now you can tell by what the score. No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey, it's a two part question. It's the last one, it's a two part question. What two teams debuted on Monday night football? Are you cheating? Hmm? Huh?

No, what'd you say? What'd you be, huh? what'd you what'd you say? What you be huh, which you you in your phone? No, no, no, no, no my phone There's my phones Okay. Oh, well, I don't know. Yes some off except some off to you, right? You was looking down. I was thinking Oh Joe. Damn Okay, okay You can't you think you got to look straight? Okay Okay. Yeah, I don't know Jeff Brown's don't do it like that okay I told you I was logged on now you ain't logged in You cheated. No. That's it.

I told you I was logged on. Now, you ain't logged in. Somebody logged on for you. Somebody logged in for you. But hey, they called me the Steph Curry of trivia. Well, actually, actually, I'm not sure why you're so excited because you didn't understand the question. I don't even care.

Think about it. I was two years old when Monday Night Football debuted. I just took a guess because at the time Art Modell was head of the committee. So I'm figuring it had to be the Browns because why else would he? So they put his team on. Right. Yeah. But the part of the question was what was the score? I don't even care. Well, you got to care because that's part of the answer. So if not, you've only got to write. Okay. You, Okay, you right. You won. You won. But you only got two right.

Man, Jordan, look here. You will not find someone that knows least about, less about sports than Jordan. I've talked about absolutely zero. The only thing he know about is Cincinnati Bengals. And he know they're terrible.als, and he know they terrible. They've been terrible his whole life. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. What's gonna happen Saturday when we beat y'all? What's gonna be your excuse? What's gonna be your excuse when we get on here and you not allowed to say foot or ball because we gonna beat y'all? Yeah, it's gonna be, hey, I can't wait. Okay, I'm gonna take a guess at the score.

I'm 24 17. No, the score was 31 21. So you actually got that wrong. You didn't expect me to get that right. I mean, you only got it right because simply because of what? Art model, browns. I mean, I just took a guess, especially with the and the Jets. Did the Jets win the Super Bowl three?

Was that 69? So coming into the 70 season? Okay. So I just figured they had Broadway. I just figured like, okay.

and can find the answer within seconds. Do you understand how happy Ash get when I get it wrong? She got her arms up in the air like she got a pom-pom. I'm like, hold on, wait a minute. What side you on over here? Jordan, ain't no sense in me asking Jordan. Cause Jordan ain Jordan go get nothing The only thing he might get right the bingles color

Right. That's the only thing I promise you. That's the only thing you're gonna get Just five more say what's good uncle? No, Joe, you got it with the calculus mouth problem, mr Harbor, but can we agree or rather is it right ready for the NFL? Yeah. Yes. I mean look he could make a few qualities No, he's a nice lively arm. He had a nice 18 yard jump pass where he jumped it through the ball They had a nice velocity. But yeah, it's moving a little fast for him right now He's moving a little fast and he might be a situation Oh Joe where he might be better served in the back up row and that's okay So, you know, there are a lot of guys got have outstanding careers. Oh Joe

Right come in play a couple of games and get a nice 10-year career right But uh, yeah, it's moving a little fast for him right now. It really is Tyra said why isn't Brock Bowers considered for the rookie of the year? He leaves all tight ends of reception in yards, time for second NFL reception and eighth in receiver yards. Love the show. So you're gonna take a tight end on a three and 12 team

over a quarterback. Or Jaden Daniels? Huh? Oh, Jaden Daniels. Come on, dude. Like you can answer that for yourself. Thank you. I mean, sir, no disrespect, Brock Bowers is good.

But we talk about Jaden Daniels, who just changed a franchise around in a matter of what? Months? Yes. In a matter of months. Yeah, that's not. The side more says after the Raiders won and dropped the six to the draft, do you think we trade up to grab a QB Cam ward or should door? Who's the best chance to get eat? Or who has the best chance to get either? Man, I ain't nobody trading with y'all.

Who go trade down? Most of the teams that's up there need a quarterback. Now, the Jags don't need one. I don't know the draft order right now, but we know the Giants need a quarterback. The Giants ain't moving. At all, as a matter of fact, they might come out there and run the Wildcat to make sure they don't score no points I'm trying to make who is it like who's up there who's in the top 10 of the

draft selection? Giants I know uh, uh, uh what comes up there the jags, but they're not taking a quarterback The patriots they're not taking a quarterback Tennessee titans They need a quarterback. Why would I trade with the raiders? I need a quarterback at four and i'm gonna trade Let y'all get y'all quarterback of the future. Hey Cleveland five they need a quarterback Why don't I'm gonna trade with y'all at six and let y'all get a quarterback when we need a quarterback, right?

In the Vegas of six now, I don't see I Don't I don't see somebody trading with y'all because all the teams, now, you know, hold on. Maybe the, you know what? Maybe the Jags will trade with y'all. They don't need a quarterback. So they'll come out, but they'll come out of two? Yeah, but I want Travis Hunter, so no. Oh, okay, okay, okay. The Patriots, I want Travis Hunter, they don't select me.

Right. Hmm, that's a good one. Ocho, I'm not trying to strengthen you. I'm not. Yeah. Let y'all get a quarterback and then we ain't got no quarterback. You got, you can't pass up on quarterbacks at all.

No. You can't, you can't. up on quarterbacks at all. No. You can't, you can't. Angie Carr said the Packers in love are the truth. The NFC don't want green, don't want that green bay smoke.

There another game or that the only two games just two games just two games tons of basketball games that day But uh, we're gonna focus on those goals because they have huge implications the Raven if the Steelers win that game excuse me if the Chiefs win the game they're all likelihood they saw up home field throughout the entirety of the playoffs I don't see them playing Patrick Mahomes or a number of their starters in the final week of the season. We're gonna be on right after the games, right after. So we're not gonna go at our normal times because the games come on really early.

So we'll be on right after the games. So that game has huge implications. If the Chiefs beat the Steelers and the Ravens beat the Texans, can they win the division? Can they clinch? I don't think they can clinch right then. They're going to come down to the final game of the season. And then that means Steelers and the Bingoes. Last game of the season. Yes, yes.
