Starting point is 00:00:51 and today's episode is a little bit different. Today, we got the expert, Mace, and our analyst, Maurice Claret. Mo, what's good, man? Hey, I'm here. Our guy went from Zoom days to no days. Comments are going to be mad. They're going to be mad. Shout out to Cam. Let me start out. Cam is on his way here. He's probably not going to make this show. He was calling me while he was getting on his flight and he had some sad news. Mike Tyson, the guy he was running
Starting point is 00:01:27 his mouth about, was standing right behind him when I saw him on FaceTime. I think Mike was whispering to him, Cam, I need to talk to you. And then Cam said he going to call me back, but he never called me back. So for everybody's watching this, pray for Cam right now. I'm praying for Cam. You be praying for Cam that Mike Tyson did not take his comments seriously. This is what happened when you run your mouth. How ironic was it that Mike Tyson was there? Right behind him.
Starting point is 00:02:05 No, this is crazy. The whole thing is crazy. This is all starting off crazy. Well... See what happens, Cam, when you take your Zoom date. You run into Mike Tyson. Out of all people. Out of all people.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Well, I hope he has a safe flight. The Mike Tyson impression was crazy that you just did. But I'll leave that between y'all. Oh my goodness. And you know, come to think about it, we're praying for Cam right now. Everybody be praying for Cam. He should be well.
Starting point is 00:02:41 But I don't know what his security can do if Mike gets out of control. The worst thing in the world is to get probably knocked out by somebody you can't sue for the money. Right. But you said you could take Mike Tyson, right? Didn't the little birdie say that? I said, Mike, this is TV.
Starting point is 00:03:13 It's TV. Got it. Noted. Okay. No, but Cam should be cool. He should be straight. Yes. We will all be in studio for the next episode. Guys, don't worry. Yeah, but wouldn't that be funny if Mike is sitting right next to him? It would be insane.
Starting point is 00:03:31 And they probably are. Maybe he'll come on the show. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, shout out to Mike Tyson. He might come on the show. Yeah. So we'll see. Okay, so we got to talk NFL free agency. It's going going crazy right now one of the breaking stories is
Starting point is 00:03:47 Russell Wilson he signed with the Steelers for a one-year deal what did you guys think when you heard the news Maurice first oh I thought I thought a bunch of things and I see you representing with your hat so I know what time it is she's out of pocket she's out of pocket put the camera on what colors are you wearing Mace I'm out of pocket you got OVO on your
Starting point is 00:04:18 stiller's hat like you cross branded it is cross branded also shout out Nick and happy birthday to Nick he got me the beanie gotta give a shout out to Nick but yeah duh Nick is buttering you up
Starting point is 00:04:31 you don't know it I don't know where Nick is right now but Nick has a thing for those that don't know you stay free of this guy Nick man Nick got a thing for chocolate ladies, man. I'm hating on you, Nick. I'm hating on you. Nah, I'm just playing.
Starting point is 00:04:50 I'm dead. Nick edited it out. Nick has a thing for chocolate ladies, though. You know? Put the camera on Nick. Ladies, this is Nick a lot right here. Nick a lot. The ape from Wall Street. I'm dead. this is Nikolai right here Nikolai the ape
Starting point is 00:05:05 from Wall Street it was sad this had I'm not understanding it's a crossover it's a crossover
Starting point is 00:05:13 it's a crossover that's okay you've been going viral stat how I'm not gonna get
Starting point is 00:05:19 into it but you've been going viral is that is that stat the base is ready today base is ready and we're here to talk about to it, but you've been going viral. Is that stat?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Mace is ready today. Mace is ready. We're here to talk about Russell Wilson. Let's get to Russell Wilson. What's up with Russell Wilson? Is this breaking news to you? Well, I'll say two things. One, I probably see the same picture you see, Mace, when you say that's that.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So I know what you're talking about. Oh, you did? Yeah. It go down in the DMs. It go down in the DMs. Hold up. No, back to Russell Woods, because I ain't going to throw you under the bus, stat. When friends like these, to eat enemies, right? No comment.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Let's go. So it was a few things when I thought about Russell Wilson. So one, I don't know if I told y'all, but I'm a Browns fan, but I'm a huge Mike Tomlin fan, right? And my love for Mike Tomlin came from when I was in prison. I knew nothing about Mike Tomlin, from when I was in prison I knew nothing about Mike Tomlin uh but this dude this was 2008 he actually wrote me a handwritten letter it was just encouraging me even when I was in prison man just to get my life back together and uh all of that
Starting point is 00:06:35 and so always tell that story because you know he didn't have to do that never played for him never met him but from a human standpoint he did that uh the second thing uh i'll say when i heard the news i said it might really be the best thing for russell wilson to get out of seattle get out of denver and come to like an area like this to me it was you're talking about western pennsylvania northeast ohio western pennsylvania sort of like the same thing i'm from northeast ohio and he can he don't he don't come into an environment that's simple. You know, Pittsburgh, a real industrial town, it's not all that celebrity shit.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Not all that kissing babies and shaking hands and all that stuff that he probably had to do in Seattle when they were just winning championships and then in Denver. The stuff that he thought he had to do. And then Mike Tomlin is really, and I say it with all due respect, he's like a nigga. You know what I'm saying? When you get around him and he gets Russell Wilson, and I say it with all due respect, he's like a nigga.
Starting point is 00:07:25 You know what I'm saying? When you get around him and he gets Russell Wilson, and I was about to say Russell Westbrook, but if he gets Russell Wilson inside that locker room and say, hey, man, just come here, play football. We'll surround you with a solid defense. We got Najee Harris in the backfield. We're playing a great division. And we're not going to ask you to go out here and do what you did in Seattle or go out here and do what you did in Denver, but just come in and play
Starting point is 00:07:49 a division where we run the ball a whole lot. We got a running back back here and just be yourself. And I think like it's just personally I think that it allows Russell Wilson just to get back to football because the culture of Pittsburgh and what they have going on over there. One is great because I love him and I love the division that they plan in.
Starting point is 00:08:07 But then two, I just don't think like the whole thing will be on his shoulders to win it because he has other pieces around him. I think the pressure is kind of on him. I think with the team that he has and with everything he's accomplished, go back to um let's get this correct you go back to the time of him playing in seattle you go back to i think just 22 2020 he was the man of the year so this is not far ago that he was considered a great a great athlete you know what i'm saying so i know it's just we're just in the beginning of 2024. So we're only three years removed from that. And then when you think about the money
Starting point is 00:08:51 that he got from Denver, all of the money made there transferring, I mean, getting traded to what's that, was Denver. And then him getting to Denver and having such a subpar, um, outing with, with such a storybook quarter. I mean, um, coach, this is, this is pressure because now you can blame the first time on,
Starting point is 00:09:18 on Sean Payton, but you won't be able to blame it on Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. So while I agree with you on the fact about, you know, the town. Yeah, the town is simple in Pittsburgh. It's about the Steelers, you know. And that's another reason why it could be pressure, because when you get to Pittsburgh, you got the people want to win, especially if you're supposed to be a quarterback with any kind of storybook past or any notoriety. This will be the place to win. Like Stats Dad said, right? This is America's team.
Starting point is 00:09:55 You got to. He said God's team. Yeah, let's get that correct. God is bigger than America. And God we trust. So he's saying this is one of those teams. This is not the team that you want to go to as a quarterback with the defense that they got. Right.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And not perform because you won't be able to have that excuse. You got all the personnel that I think you need to win some games. OK. I'll post that. Maurice, you can go first and then I can go. No, but I was thinking about just some of the time crunches.
Starting point is 00:10:30 So I didn't know that he signed a one-year deal until I just heard Stat say it. But you don't believe in some capacity that just signing for one year and knowing how bad everybody talked about you,
Starting point is 00:10:40 just the whole world saying that you was over and done and then you get a chance to go to an environment that don't really have all of those external distractions you got a running back like the division the Browns were playing better the Ravens just went on a Super Bowl run uh like you don't think none of that like would make a person like lock in back to that same person you know what I'm saying but then you have other pieces around you that don't require you to be Russell
Starting point is 00:11:04 Wilson who's throwing 40 and 50 passes I guess that guess that's where I was coming from. Yeah, I mean, it's true. But when you got a guaranteed extra 37 million coming to you, I don't know if you're really motivated, but this will tell. This year is going to tell everything. I think a lot of his legacy can be told the wrong way if this year goes wrong. Not that it changes the legacy. And I want to make sure everybody listening to me in TV land and in sports land get this correct. It's not that it will change his legacy, but sometime you can have these years that linger on in the later times of your career that make people tell your story from an unfavorable perspective? I just got to put on the record, I called this,
Starting point is 00:11:51 and it's such a beautiful thing. Like I was always saying, because I've said a lot of things about Russell Wilson, I'm not going to lie. I said that his play has declined, which to me it has. And when I said that
Starting point is 00:12:00 this is going to be Russell Wilson's redemption year, everybody was looking at me crazy. They're like, he doesn't need to redeem himself. He's already a good quarterback. It's great that he's a good quarterback, but he needs to show that he's a great quarterback. This is the perfect scenario for Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:12:14 He signed a one-year contract for $1.2 million. Kenny Pickett has like $2 million. So we have $30 million in cap space to make sure that we draft, you know, more people on our offense, more people on our defense. we already have like a good situation for him to kind of ease into and me personally I'd rather play under Mike Tomlin than Sean Payton so I just think that this is the best scenario for Russell Wilson to be able to prove himself again as a great quarterback I think that one year timing is going to be good for him because you know at the end Pittsburgh can decide to keep him or not regardless we still have Kenny Pickett and we didn't have to trade any draft picks so we
Starting point is 00:12:49 literally got him for nothing which is like the best scenario that could possibly have happened for us and the system and the system let's not discount the system should work for them as as a football expert you know a brand new football expert. This is a good system. They love to run the ball, right, Paws? And when you think of they got some good wide receivers. So if you're a quarterback
Starting point is 00:13:14 with some good wide receivers and a team that love to run the ball, this is a system that should work for you. And they got defense. And they got draft picks. And they got cap space. And they got defense and they got draft picks and they got
Starting point is 00:13:25 cap space and they got a hall of fame a future hall of fame coach right so this is that's what i'm saying there's some pressure here we can't we can't say there's no pressure because he's only getting 1.2 because what he does here determines what's going to happen moving forward you got a ball now right and i don I don't think Russell Wilson is the future, but he's definitely the solution because at the end of the day, we knew that we needed to solve our quarterback issue. So the fact that we could even make it to the playoffs by going through three strings of our quarterbacks is insane as itself. So the fact that we have Russell Wilson and now Kenny Pickett can kind of learn under him, you know, kind of get his
Starting point is 00:14:03 positioning back on the field. I just think that this is great for Pittsburgh. But also I hope that this doesn't, you know, tarnish Kenny Pickett's confidence because if he's going to be the backup quarterback while Russell Wilson's on the field, I don't know how that's going to translate for us later on in the season. But I still think it's a good start.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, we're not going to make this by the Pittsburgh. I see her trying to make this whole segment extended pause for'm not I'm being very realistic I'm not like we're going to the Super Bowl at Russell Wilson like I'm being very like objective I'm like this is the situation this is what we need these are the solutions and hopefully it works and if it doesn't it's okay because we only have him for a year okay but you also have to call something else out too so mike tomlin was catching a lot of heat from like they were basically trying to say it's his days over in pittsburgh right and i remember everybody hearing about that talk and so you know he's a businessman too uh the roonies are businessmen uh the owners of the team for people who don't know who they are
Starting point is 00:14:59 um and i'm pretty sure that they said hey now that that Ben Roethlisberger is gone and we didn't have somebody come and step up and feel his persona and personality that we have to take a shot. You remember, you know, God bless his soul, Dwayne Haskins was supposed to come in and he was supposed to play next, but, you know, he unfortunately passed away down in Miami. But this is, I think it's part of that where, hey, man, you have a veteran quarterback on on the team. We got this far with Kenny Pickett last year. Let's see. Let's actually see what's going on with Russell Wilson.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Right. It's not going to hurt for another year for Kenny Pickett to get some development and be around a vet who's been to the Super Bowl. And I'm pretty sure Mike Thomas sold it to him that way. So, hey, man, this dude's here for one year and he's a little bit older and you're starting to see quarterbacks play a little bit longer so if you sit out one year like who really cares uh and maybe he helps to extend your career in some capacity i don't know right i agree and i mean we'll see what happens it was definitely important for pittsburgh to try something new so to see what comes out of it would be great um there's a little tweets about levy on bell trying to get back on the team i'm all for it but you know we'll see what comes out of it would be great. There's a little tweets about Le'Veon Bell trying to get back on the team. I'm all for it, but, you know, we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Yeah, it got to be great for them quarterbacks to learn how to prepare behind pause. What you call it, Russell Wilson. Right, exactly. Okay, now let's talk Baker Mayfield. He resigned with the Bucs on a three-year, $100 million contract. What do you guys think about his contract? And do you guys think this was a good decision by the Bucs? Let me go.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Let me start this one off. Pause. Just last year, he signed a free agent for $4 million, right? I think it was about like four million in 2023 so to start off 2024 with a hundred million for three years and then to come back with a um i think it's about 115 million in incentives 50 million of it being guaranteed yeah this is a long way from four million this but this is what happened when you bet on yourself this is johnny manziel reborn get paid young nigga get paid whatever you do young nigga get paid this is in the, young nigga, get paid. This is in the
Starting point is 00:17:26 words of Cam. Cam says some niggas love their wives. Nothing comes before the money. In the words of the great Cam Ron. I gotta keep my boy alive, you know? Who knows what Mike Tyson is doing
Starting point is 00:17:44 right now? I gotta keep him alive right now? Who knows what Mike Tyson is doing right now? I gotta keep him alive right now. Who knows? But yeah, go from $4 million to $100 million for three years is great. That means he multiplied his net
Starting point is 00:18:00 worth like Rick Ross would say. I don't know what the word is. Six your your net worth what's that about nine times the net worth he came up yeah and to think he jumped in pause right after the great right tom brady it's not like he had little shoes to fill. He came in and performed after Tom Brady. But what he did do, and Baker Mayfield, you need to keep this up next year, you were out of the public, you were not in the media saying crazy stuff. Just ball, man.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Turn this 100 to 300 next time. We rooting for you. Go ahead, Mo. It's on you. No, since Stadler here bringing up stats from the past, y'all know I called this earlier in the year, right?
Starting point is 00:18:52 Everybody in Deja Vu. We gonna call this show it is what it is, Deja Vu. Everybody is in Deja Vu. Yeah, but he's the all-American football player. Heisman Trophy winner. He go from walk-on to Heisman Trophy winner to first-round draft pick,
Starting point is 00:19:13 went out to Cleveland, things didn't go as well. And then you remember he went over to Carolina, then he went to the Rams, and now he's sort of like on his own redemption and reparation tour. And really what happened was he went down there. They already had a lot of the components that were in place from going on a Super Bowl run. He came there. They didn't require him to do a whole lot, but for the Tampa Bay area, he's a great professional. People are going to come to the games to see him.
Starting point is 00:19:44 He has name. He has notoriety. They know that, you know, even if we go on a playoff run, that's good for us. We're happy with that. And I'm happy for him. You know what I'm saying? But like I said, I was like, I don't see who they'll get that will come in that market, be like Mr. All everything to that fan base. I don't think that he's going to go on a Super Bowl run. But I also don't think that they're expecting that from him, right? Maybe you get like, you know, you get him for three years, you sign him for two, see how things go on. You bring somebody in the draft or you trade for somebody else to bring them on. But I don't know. I'm happy for Baker Mayfield, but he definitely came up. Yeah, he's talking more. He's talking like he want to win in the postseason.
Starting point is 00:20:22 In fact, that's one of his quotes. I want to quote what he said. He said, I love the coach, Todd Bowles. I love the staff. I'm happy to be here. And I want to win more in the postseason. He actually said this. This is a quote. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:20:40 The nigga know how to say the right shit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, he did say we are going to win. The nigga did say, I want to win. he didn't say we are going to win. The nigga did say I want to win. Yeah. Yeah, we all want to win. Yeah, I definitely think Baker Mayfield is the right fit for the Bucs. If they would have let him go, that wouldn't have made any sense to me,
Starting point is 00:20:56 especially since they extended Mike Evans' contract for another two years. So that quarterback-wire receiver connection is great. Happy for the both of them. I think, you know, Tampa Bay, I'm not going to say they're going to be the best, but they definitely have a great happy for the both of them I think you know Tampa Bay I'm not going to say they're going to be the best but they definitely have a good run
Starting point is 00:21:08 for the next season why you don't show Tampa Bay more love aren't you from Tampa you say you're not from Jacksonville I love Tampa you know
Starting point is 00:21:17 that's where I grew up but like it was it was black and yellow black and yellow like all my life so
Starting point is 00:21:24 that's just how it was so when Gronk and them, like all my life. Oh, my goodness. That's just how it was. So when Gronk and them was down there, you wasn't for? I mean, like, I will support Tampa Bay because I'm 813 baby for sure. But it's always going to be Steelers. That's just what it is. Oh, my goodness. That's just what it is.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Yeah, where's OJ when I need him? OJ, if you out there, you see where you started, the blueberry juice is spilling over everywhere. Everybody knows I love Tampa and I love Jacksonville. That's where my family is, but I'm a Steelers fan. I made that very clear. Okay, so moving on to the next quarterback, Kirk Cousins agreed to a four-year deal with the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:22:01 The deal is worth up to $180 million. Do you guys think Kirk Cousins was overpaid? Maurice, we'll let you go first. You see what I got back there, right? That's the spirit of Kirk Cousins, man. It is what it is. We got the skew mask on back there robbery you see any robbery did he man listen to me uh all with all due respect to kirk cousins you know he was great one well went to the pro bowl a few times up there in Minnesota. He's been a great professional. But when I see what they paid him to go down to Atlanta, I was like, damn.
Starting point is 00:22:50 You know what I'm saying? He just came off the tour in the key lease. And when I just thought about the quarterbacks that you could possibly get for that same money, it just didn't make any sense to me. How much was it again? $180 million. My goodness. Yeah, can't hate the players, man.
Starting point is 00:23:12 This is one of those, don't hate the players. Hate the game. Hate the game. That boy Kirk Cousins, and 100 of the $187 is guaranteed. Yeah, $180 million contract, and it includes a $50 million signing bonus. Yeah, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Go back to what I was talking about. Remember earlier in the season or a couple weeks ago, we were talking about Justin Fields, right? If I'm going to go give somebody $180 million, right? Somebody who got a name, somebody who got upsized, somebody who's a little bit younger, somebody who doesn't have a torn Achilles,
Starting point is 00:23:44 all of that stuff. I'm going to build around somebody like that who I can go either trade for or I can become creative with getting him off the market. And I thought that, and he's from, I'm pretty sure he's from Georgia. I don't know if he's from Atlanta, but I know he's from Georgia.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Yeah, he's from Georgia. Yeah, I'm going to get him. I'm not going to get Kirk Cousins. And that's with all due respect to Kirk Cousins. This isn't no slight at him. But if I'm going to give somebody $180 million, I'm going to get somebody on the front side of a career who just need pieces around them. Right. And they got the good tight end down there. They got B. John Robinson and the young wide receiver. So I'm going to build with those guys when it's time to just take my team to the next level. I'm not going to get Kirk Cousins. But then also, this is the head coach's, this is his second head coaching opportunity. I'm wondering if he's going for like the more secure, stable veteran who's been to the Pro Bowls sort of like offensive setup rather than somebody like Justin Fields who I wanted him to get. I wanted Justin Fields to go down there.
Starting point is 00:24:48 That's why I'm kind of like mad and salty but also surprised. Mo, I don't know if I agree with that because he could have found another Pro Bowl. Kirk Cousins wasn't the only Pro Bowl that was probably available, especially at that number. They could have done a three-way trade or something crazy to get somebody better for that. And especially when you think about they got the young running back,
Starting point is 00:25:16 you want to put them with somebody young that could actually work better with them, I think. But no slight to Kirk. He got the bag. Let Kurt enjoy his bag. He can enjoy his bag, but you know how y'all have been talking about robbery? That's exactly what that is. Shout out to Kurt Cousins.
Starting point is 00:25:40 I think he's a great person. I'm not going to say he's a bad quarterback because he's not a bad quarterback, but I just feel like he hasn't proven enough to be having a four-year contract worth that much in Atlanta. It doesn't make sense to me. And he's older.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I just don't think that decision made the most sense. Especially if we're being completely honest, I was seeing Justin Fields as an option for Atlanta. Like he is a younger quarterback. Like he has a lot more ceiling to prove himself rather than Kirk Cousins, who like Maurice said, just came off a torn Achilles is I think 36, a lot older. It just doesn't make sense to me.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Sound like y'all hating on a nigga. Sound like this sound like more of that. The nineties is over to me. This is what it Seems like a great person Why is it sound like the 90s trend is over? Young Think about it this way you just spent a hundred $180 million and you have a quarterback heavy draft.
Starting point is 00:26:50 You can go get you a younger quarterback and you can go spend that, cap that money on other ancillary pieces. That's what I'm talking about, right? Or you could have got Justin Fields for part of that. But, and you said he's 36? Yeah. Yeah, you could have... I'm not going to spend $180 million on a...
Starting point is 00:27:06 You could have gotten a quarterback and two other pieces with that 187. Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. And made a really strong statement. What I think happened, though, people getting this whole thing
Starting point is 00:27:21 with Tom Brady playing until he was like 40-something, I think that they actually thinking that that goes for everybody. But sometimes we just have people who are outliers who play long beyond their prime, and those are for those people. You're 36, 37, 38,
Starting point is 00:27:36 and I know Sin's going to kill me for this tomorrow, but you know what I'm saying? Hey, every time I say something about age, Sin hit me up in a DM. He's like, Maurice, you can't be the age police. But I know for a fact that, you know, you get older, man. You just slow down, man. You ain't the same as somebody who's 24, 25 years old.
Starting point is 00:27:56 No, don't say that to Drea. She hasn't slowed down. She's still making it happen out here. Shout out to my people Shout out to your people Okay before we go to break Just one more follow up question Do you guys think that the Vikings should have kept Kirk Cousins
Starting point is 00:28:12 Or do you think it just made more sense for them To let him go Oh I think they made the right decision They probably looked at it the way That I just explained it He's 36 He's 36. He's coming off an Achilles injury.
Starting point is 00:28:33 And, you know, they probably feel like they got their best years out of him. And so they just say, hey, man, you know, if you're willing to pay $187 for him or $180, whatever it was for him, go ahead and let us go on this quarterback heavy draft and let us save that cap space to get some of these other ancillary pieces that'll get us to a, you know, in playoff contention and then eventually to the Super Bowl. Yeah, they were definitely not trying to make that nigga the franchise

Starting point is 00:33:06 We take you guys' opinion to the heart and we get it done. So appreciate y'all. Okay. So it seems like Giants fans are a little upset after the Eagles got Saquon Barkley. In response to the news, Tiki Barber said, good luck. You're dead to me in response to saquon barkley moving to the eagles so thoughts on tiki's response and then do you guys think the giants made the right decision
Starting point is 00:33:31 maurice will let you go first yeah man um my honest thoughts were i was like man shut the fuck up right and I was so serious when I said it it is two things right and I like I was trying to say man should I tell these people how I really feel and I just said yeah because it's like needed to be said and Tiki Barber reminds me of like those athletes
Starting point is 00:33:59 when they're done with a team and they become they think they got a fanboy for the team or say what they think other people want them to say. And when I seen him joke on whatever, the podcast, the show or whatever he was on, he like cut his eyes over at the other guys who was on the show,
Starting point is 00:34:19 like basically doing it for their approval. And I just started thinking to myself, like more on a serious level, but I was like, man, when you play running back, you know dudes don't be really getting paid like that anyway. And you always hear about, like, running backs getting fucked out of their money. That's like Le'Veon Bale's situation where, you know, he was trying to get more money and he didn't get it
Starting point is 00:34:36 because the shelf life is so short. But this dude, Saquon, actually went out here, created value for himself, worked through injuries injuries got back in now he's a valuable dude and then i started to think about like just like just other random shit where you'll have somebody who play a position before you and i'm gonna go a little bit off uh road but i'll come back on but you'll have somebody who plays a position as you and they'll come after you right and that person will be getting busy and and and they end up taking up all that space and all of that fanfare that you once got.
Starting point is 00:35:07 And you hate to be in a room with them because that person begins to take up the whole room. Right. And so when when people say like little slick shit like that, I'll never I don't just take it as just like he was just saying something as a joke. And that stuff comes from like a deep rooted place. Right. And I like heard it, I was like, man, just shut the fuck up. You know what I'm saying? Because it's like people like him, he's like, you know, like those type of guys, they be thinking like the black dudes who feel like that
Starting point is 00:35:31 they got to be like white around their white friends or shit on black people around their white friends. And I'm not taking it. I'm not taking it too serious, but I've been around. Y'all don't talk about it.
Starting point is 00:35:39 That's why you laughing. Like, you know, when you get around. What you call them niggas, Mo? What you call them kind of niggas? Bitch ass niggas. Just bitch ass niggas. You know what you call them what you call them just bitch-ass niggas you know i'm saying all right uncle tom's coons whatever the fuck it is you know me and i just like you know you like but he's one of those type of dudes right you know like he get around his white dudes and
Starting point is 00:35:58 feel like he got a shit on niggas just to fit around white dudes and like i don't know i always pause it always brought me the wrong way. And I just always resented black people who felt like I got to be white around white people or I got to like suppress my shit, right? Like there's never a time in life where white people feel like that they don't have to be white
Starting point is 00:36:17 around black people, right? They just become white. But somehow like niggas get around white people and think that they got to be white to be accepted amongst white people. And I'm not a racist. Y'all know.
Starting point is 00:36:26 But I don't know. That was my little rant. So I didn't want to say that. Maurice, whenever somebody have to say they're not a racist, that's a red flag. But I'm going to keep going. No, I think when it comes to Saquon Barkley, I think shout outs to the other guy that left the Eagles that allowed him to get to the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:36:55 I think he went to the Bears. And because he went to the Bears, it left this running back spot open. Now, when I think of Saquon, this is a foregone, is it a foregone conclusion now that the Eagles will be in the playoffs? They're far better than everybody else
Starting point is 00:37:14 in that division. I mean, it's only the Cowboys, the Commanders, and, I mean, the Giants. It's so stupid to trade one of your best players to a rival team. I can't think of nothing dumber than that, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:31 I know Saquon had a couple bad years. Like, he had a couple years he struggled because he was hurt. But the first year, he was the offensive rookie of the year. And then he comes back those next three years and struggles. So I think they probably thought that his best days was behind him and they wanted to move in a new direction. And I'm glad to see that the Eagles is going to capitalize off this. We don't have to fear them in title time, but they will be much better.
Starting point is 00:38:03 So his contract with the Eagles is a a three-year 37.75 million dollar contract that could be worth up to 46 million and includes 26 million fully guaranteed yeah regardless of what anybody says he's getting that back yeah 27 where's oj at right now OJ they're paying the running backs like you're asking they're paying the running backs OJ wherever you are I'm still repping listen your boy Saquon got the bag OJ you gotta come here
Starting point is 00:38:37 be a part of this I got the blue glasses on for you you know not for you pause that's crazy got the blue glasses on because blueberry juice ain't here. To that point. And like, shout out OJ, of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Everybody hating. Like, obviously, the team and people who are fans of the team are going to be upset. But like, you got to do what's best for you. Eagles are in a lot better position, if we're being completely honest. He's 27. He got the money shout out to Saquon Barkley I don't like the way
Starting point is 00:39:07 that Tiki Barber had to come at him like that talking about you're dead to me because people just get real comfortable behind the phone
Starting point is 00:39:16 because you're dead to me is crazy like those are there's just certain words that are like that's like you divorced him right like it's just real like like That's like, you divorced them, right? Like, it's just real, like,
Starting point is 00:39:27 that's just not something you say. Like, there's just certain verbiage. Like, we had an example, and I can't think of it right now. Just certain things that you shouldn't say to people. Is he Generation Z? Saquon Barker? Or Tiki Barber?
Starting point is 00:39:39 Yeah, this is getting crazy. This is why people are done with the 90s. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into that. This explains. I definitely got to hear y'all's opinion. Yeah. Shout out Saquon Barkley.
Starting point is 00:39:50 He's getting his money. All these people hating. Y'all can hate. Like, he's good regardless. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. So to Mace's point, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:02 People are saying we are done with the 90s. So if you guys haven't heard, it's trending on TikTok and a lot of other social platforms right now. Basically, people are going back watching the old games from the 90s and saying that the 90s were actually overrated. So they're saying MJ being the GOAT is flawed because the shots and defense were bad and that MJ did not have a left hand. So people are looking at the clips and are not impressed with what they see. So what do you guys think about this entire debate happening right now?
Starting point is 00:40:34 This is a classic case. Look at me, ladies and gentlemen, of dumb and dumber. Listen, to say you're going to take one quarter of MJ and try to run this narrative, this guy, I don't want to say the name, but this got an agency written all over it. This got an NBA player written all over it. In fact, this is a great marketing strategy for that NBA player, hypothetically, and that agency, hypothetically. And I think you know exactly who I'm talking about, Maurice Claret. I know you know exactly who I'm talking about. I wish Cam was here.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Cam, where are you at right now? The 90s are over. You know, we're getting money in a different generation. So if you want to throw away the 90s, it wouldn't make me no difference. But stop wearing Jordans then. If the trend of 90s is over. All the niggas saying this got Jordans in their closet do you wear Jordans yes do you have Jordans yes so you will have to throw your Jordans away you will
Starting point is 00:41:53 have to burn them Jordans like they burnt LeBron jersey when he left Cleveland you will have to get rid of them like Adidas wouldn't get rid of Yeezys. You're not going to get rid of Jordans. So the 90s is never going to be over. Get over it. You're Adidas. The 90s is Yeezy. You can't leave Kanye. And as crazy as you think it is, you can't leave him.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Maurice, I want to hear your take. Because I got more to share. I got more to share. I got more to share. The 90s is over. The 90s includes Shaq. The 90s includes Kobe. Are you getting rid of Kobe's? So if we get rid of Kobe's, we get rid of what else?
Starting point is 00:42:43 Usher, there's no moonwalking. There's no humping you dry. There's no roller skates. There's no Super Bowl without the 90s. You don't want to see these niggas perform at the Super Bowl. Can you imagine these niggas? I'm so confused. I'm saying if you get rid of the 90s,
Starting point is 00:43:12 if you get rid of the 90s, that's all the stuff you look up to. That's Beyonce. Get rid of the 90s. That's Jordan. Get rid of the 90s. That's Usher. Get rid of the 90s. That's Jordan. Get rid of the 90s. That's Usher. Get rid of the 90s.
Starting point is 00:43:28 You want to keep going? Tupac, all of the stuff niggas try to do on Halloween. That's all the 90s. Then we'll just have a bunch of emo niggas running around with their lashes done, waiting on their nail tech and their lash tech before they perform with their girdles showing okay
Starting point is 00:43:53 um what does that have to do with Michael Jordan having no left hand I just heard the 90s. I got triggered. Lisa, I'm honest.
Starting point is 00:44:13 I heard 90s and I got triggered. There's no way for me to transition that. I got triggered. See, that's what it looks like when you get triggered.
Starting point is 00:44:20 He's not even on the point. But Mike or Joneigh have a left hand. Of course Mike had a left hand. You know how some people, you know you could beat all right hand. You don't use your left hand. He was playing against them like kids play. Maurice.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I got triggered, bro. Forgive me. Hey man, listen to me. The video I seen, it was just another sassy ass nigga, bro. Forgive me. Hey, man, listen to me. The video I seen, it was just another sassy-ass nigga, man. And he go through this whole process where he's editing the film and going through these clips and bitching. And so you can take anybody's basketball career over a span of any time and highlight all of the bad takes and the bad clips. Right. And then you can compare it to now,
Starting point is 00:45:07 but even to go out your way to do that is just still like, like sassy ass shit, man. And the nineties is what made everything what everybody like. Um, and I'm being biased because I came up being influenced by the nineties. Uh, but my man was trying to hate on Michael Jordan. And the boy, up being influenced by the 90s uh but my man was trying to hate on michael jordan so he was sassy doing it he's part of your generation stat that's no knocks to you
Starting point is 00:45:33 but maybe you can explain it better as to how this thing became trendy and people began to share it and you share your thoughts with us how do you feel about the 90s, Sat? Well, so my thing is, and like this is just always how I've been raised. I don't think I'm like I 1000%, not to call them elders, but like I respect my elders. Like this is how we are where we are now. And I'm super big on learning things
Starting point is 00:45:59 and going back into history and understanding why things are the way that they are now. So I'm not knocking the 90s at all. First of all, I love 90s music, love 90s everything, like that stuff that I'm going to look into. But it's just really a way to solidify the MJ versus LeBron debate. I mean, a lot of the people that say LeBron is their GOAT
Starting point is 00:46:23 probably have never even seen, you know, a 90s full game. So now that they're choosing one game or whatever, you know, whatever they are deciding to watch to them, that's enough to say like, okay, the 90s are trash. We're done with it. You know, LeBron's my goat, which also doesn't make sense because from listening to you guys, obviously I was not born in the 90s. Again, showing my age. When you guys tell me, you know, it was an experience that you had to just be there. That's one of those things that I fully understand. I'm not going to knock and be like, because I wasn't there. It didn't happen because I didn't see Will do 100 points.
Starting point is 00:46:59 It didn't happen. Like, I'm just not that type of person. But on the other side, that's probably their argument. I don't think it's the most valid argument now the the clip does look kind of crazy because they were like if it did happen now you know everybody would be but that's also you know the birth of social media in general that's narration that yeah i think i was one of the first people to use that statement about in the context of how people change people's views with
Starting point is 00:47:27 that, with the word narrative, you know, you could put something out there explaining it a certain way that make people look at it a certain way when that's not actually the truth. Right. Because when he's making this point, this is also the only play I remember going three-peat twice. So if he goes three-peat twice with the same game you're trying to isolate, then that tell you how great he is if he was able to shoot off the backboard and do all of this and still three peak. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Yeah. I mean, I get it even just to even like related to music, for example, like that's like me for me going around, running around saying, you know, Chris Brown is my goat over,
Starting point is 00:48:18 you know, Michael Jackson. Like, where do you think the influence came from? Not saying that he's fully influenced by MJ but obviously that was everybody's here and there's levels to it but see to show that I'm not biased I think Chris Brown dance better than Mike and he danced better than Chris Brown I mean better than Usher being a person wait restart your sentence again. Let me say it again. I think Chris Brown danced better than Michael Jackson and danced better than Usher.
Starting point is 00:48:51 But he's not a better artist than Michael Jackson. Does that make sense to you? It makes a lot of sense. Yeah. So to somebody that's like, because you got to think about it. And I'm speaking as a person that lived to see all of them at their height so i know what mike looks like pause at his height the spins that mike do the dance moves that mike does as a performer yes mike is held like as the goat of all time. I'm not changing that. I'm saying dancing wise, there is not a move that Mike can do that Chris Brown can't do.
Starting point is 00:49:31 But there are several moves that Chris Brown can do that Mike would not be able to do. I don't know how I feel about that. You ever saw Mike flip? No. And I get Mike flip? No. And I get what you're saying. No, because unbiasedly, Chris Brown is one of my favorite artists. He can dance.
Starting point is 00:49:51 He can see. He can do it all. But comparing him to Michael Jackson. Yeah. So what I'm further trying to expose to you is that I'm not a biased person. So I deal with eliteness. Like I,
Starting point is 00:50:07 I, I like things to be done on the highest level. So I've seen people do it on the highest level. I know what Mike looked like at his highest level. I've seen Chris Brown at his highest level. And I'm saying dancing wise, there are moves that Chris Brown can do that that mike cannot do and mike was hitting those moves sharp chris brown can hit those same moves if you put like like they had usher on stage with mike
Starting point is 00:50:35 and usher was right there with mike if chris was standing there with mike it would look like chris was actually doing those moves a little bit. It sounds bad to say better, but he could. Yeah. He has the ability because what you give as you're what you're given an ability is not what you work for. Right. You get what I'm saying? So there's people that have ability that they didn't work for and then they got talent that they worked on yeah mike was naturally gifted chris brown dancing wise was gifted a little bit more than mike yeah i me personally i'm still gonna put chris brown second i think he is definitely up there when i talk about
Starting point is 00:51:19 songs no i know you're talking about dancing but i still just feel like it's two different categories for two different eras. That's how I feel about it. And Chris Brown is up there, especially for this era. But comparing him to Mike dancing, just dancing wise, even still, that's like very debatable. And the reason why people see it, because it goes into Brandon and narrative like I was just sharing with you. With Mike, it's the glitter glove. It's the glitter socks.
Starting point is 00:51:44 It's the jerry curl. it's the glitter glove it's the glitter socks it's the jerry curl it's the it's the iconic outfits when you look at Chris Brown it's like he got on a snapback right with a t-shirt on with some regular jeans right but talent wise it's the same talent but because it's packaged yeah the theatrics. That's what makes you look at something as big. To this point, why is what they're saying, just because I got to
Starting point is 00:52:13 see where your head's at, why is what they're saying about the 90s wrong? The reason why it's wrong because if you're saying you're over the 90s, then you got to stop jacking it. Simple. Then stop wearing 23.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Right? Yeah. Stop. Do you hear Jordan name more in songs and Pippen or you hear LeBron more in songs. Who do you hear more in songs? All right. So if you're going to say it's over, you got to refrain from using a lot of that stuff. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Maurice, I would love to know your opinion. Need a new vantage point. Oh, no. I was a little bit harsh earlier, but it's like anything else. It's two things that scare me, right? We're in an era where you can, whether something is right or wrong, we're in an era where you can get a bunch of people to just sort of like what may say just establish a narrative that may not necessarily be true but it becomes a popular thing I know that that doesn't necessarily fit all of what we're talking about but this is a thing where
Starting point is 00:53:33 you can just run with the narratives and if a bunch of people say that these are they believe it's right right that becomes a scary thing another thing within this I get it you young and you want to think that you come up within the best generation and anything that you can do to take shots at whoever is whoever's star, their goat or whoever it is, you're going to do it. So I get what the young dude was doing it. Sometimes I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I'll be like, man, niggas are sassy today. Then some days I forgive people and don't even make mention of it. And know, sometimes I just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I'll be like, man, niggas are sassy today. And some days I forgive people and don't even make mention of it.
Starting point is 00:54:08 And this was just one of those days. I was like, man, niggas be sassy and just saying stupid shit. And they get these dumbass friends started. And this is one of them. Yeah, they're disrespectful. They're unruly. Like, I'm smart enough to know the best female singers did not
Starting point is 00:54:23 come from my time. I can acknowledge that they were they were way older than we were. I live to see people to say, OK, the best rappers came from that time. I'm smart enough to know the best basketball players did not come from Jordan's era. But Jordan is the goat. You get what I'm saying? When I think of a bunch of small forwards, that was better. I could think of a bunch of point guards. Now, even with Stephen Curry, you find me saying that Stephen Curry is right there with magic to me if he gets another ring.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I'm putting a pass magic. So I'm all for the changing of God. So I'm all for that. I even believe in hip hop. They need new gatekeepers and it looks like we're moving in that direction. I'm all for new and change, but I'm not for niggas riding a coattail of niggas and then getting to a place and trying to stun on the niggas you was riding the whole time. I don't like that. It's like when people would,
Starting point is 00:55:32 when I first started, you know, not doing music, people would come, oh, I love you, this and that. You see the nigga in a year from now, he think he better than you. Nigga, I was just telling you everything to do. Now you better than me? Get out of here here i don't like niggas like that and there's a bunch of rappers that do that
Starting point is 00:55:51 you know oh you to go you're out of this and then you see a nigga in two years he get one hot record and now the nigga think he can throw rocks at the heavens, nigga. You can't throw rocks at the heavens, nigga. That was killer. You can't throw rocks at the heavens, nigga. Your rock won't make it, nigga. So also regarding the topic, I want to get you guys' initial thoughts and reactions to some of the comments. So somebody said that the 2016 Chino Hills is better than the 90s Bulls. And then somebody is saying also that basically MJ is like a glorified Jalen Brown.
Starting point is 00:56:40 I just got it for the people watching. So you guys are up to speed with what is going on. So now Jalen Brown. This is a whole debate. Jalen Brown is equivalent to Jordan. Now, let's have that conversation. Because if I was going to compare somebody today to Michael Jordan, it would not be Jalen Brown. You know who I would compare him to?
Starting point is 00:57:07 Who shows sparks of that? Pause. Anthony Edwards. Not just on the resemblance, like the way they approached the game, the way he tacked the rim, explosiveness. Mike had a lot of mid-range game that made him unstoppable. He was a high jumper, but you rarely see high jumpers with a mid-range game. You normally see, even today, right? You see Kevin Durant shooting from three. You see LeBron shooting from three, or you see him running to the basket, dunking. You rarely see people with all three levels, the three, the mid-range, and can attack at the rim. So that's the first thing. I would dispel that. Not Jalen Brown.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Let's go with Anthony Edwards. What else did they say that was off the chain? The 2016 Chino Hills were better than 90s Bulls. You see, this is what happens when light-skinned niggas' mom can go on the internet. This is crazy. I'll be trying not to be disrespectful, but, you know, sometimes when you're telling the truth,
Starting point is 00:58:20 the people that are not used to the truth is going to be offensive. Chino Hill's like, I'm not having that conversation. I'm an expert, Mo. This is yours. This is what I'm talking about. I don't know if this started off as a joke with him, but Michael Jordan- No, he's definitely trolling right there. He's definitely trolling, because that's a trigger. I was about to be triggered. Forgive me, light-skinned guys. See, because they came against us, Paul, and then they made me go
Starting point is 00:58:50 after somebody who's not going after me. That's what a trigger does, right? So now I'm apologizing to light-skinned people because they didn't do nothing to me. Light-skinned guys ain't do nothing to me. And now we're on to this because of this. So I'm going to let you handle this, Mo.
Starting point is 00:59:06 This is all trolling. No, it's just, you know, when you think about Mike and his impact on culture, his impact and his mentality on the game. And, like, so I can't, like, when I look at people, I look at fully what they represent and what they actually mean, right? And when I think about Michael Jordan just his his impact with every kid all over america over america wanting to be like mike when he was on tv every kid running in their house and wanting to be like mike the impact of his shoes the impact that he had just with business and basketball he wasn't talking about no niggas
Starting point is 00:59:41 getting no 38 million back in 96 for one year basketball that even the fact that it was that was even a thing to accomplish him influencing guys to take the game more serious him putting those contracts in a situation where guys can negotiate bigger numbers just all the shit that this man has done uh just to the game in general. You got LeBron, you got Kobe, you got all of these guys who come out of that, who you're using what he's done, be it with his brand that people begin to copy, how they negotiate deals.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I can sit here and go on and on about the impact that the band had. And it gets to a point, like you kind of say, where it goes from jokey to disrespectful, but we just live in a world where, you know said it earlier where people just say disrespectful shit and they jokingly say but like no man we have to do a better job of just like what's that saying like respecting our elders and fully understanding what comes before you because if you don't
Starting point is 01:00:40 understand what becomes before you you just start to disrespect any and everything and begin to operate like that and that's kind of foolish and unwise to do. And so, what starts off as a joke, everybody doesn't have the wisdom or understanding to understand things are a joke. You can just start living your life disrespecting things that come before you and
Starting point is 01:01:00 I don't know, we can go on and on about it, but as you were talking, I was going in like this mode of my mind, just thinking about what this dude meant to the game. That was really good, Maurice. And now what I'm going to say in closing is this. Listening to you and listening to Stat and listening to this troll has taught me something today.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Honestly, I'm not going to lie. I never saw it from this vantage point before, and I'm going to add this to my expertise, right? So hearing them argue about their time taught me something, and here's what it is. Just like you have to respect what went before you, we got to do a better job respecting what comes after us because that's a wise leader. A wise leader can see what goes before him. But he also, in order to prepare the future, you got to respect what comes behind you in order to be on the right side of history. So I'm no longer going to argue LeBron against Jordan because Jordan is my goat.
Starting point is 01:02:06 I can say this about LeBron. He's the best right now. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter who is better before. Right now, the best player on the floor is LeBron James. And he has to get better with accepting that. The past don't matter because we're never going to play the past. We're playing right now.
Starting point is 01:02:29 So you got to feel good about knowing right now there's nobody better than me. It's just it's the same way with music. These guys are not going to be able to ever recreate what was there. And you do yourself a disservice trying to do so. Just be the best right now. I remember telling this to a great rapper. You know, he was like, man, y'all time was this, y'all was this, but it doesn't matter. It's your time now. This is your time. And it's for you to be the best right now. So Chris Brown, the best right now. Drake, the best right now. LeBron, the best right now. I mean... That's what I'm putting. It is what it is.
Starting point is 01:03:14 It is what it is. Mace, the best on sports, the best right now. It don't matter what niggas did before. Mace and Cam, the best right now. We're not getting into all of that old stuff and what they did, right? Because it translates everywhere.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Stat, the best right now. Yeah, he snapped. That's what we should be shooting for. It's the realization. Okay. Well, that's all the time we have for today. Maurice, thank you for being here. There we go. And thank you.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Stat in Titletown. And the expert, Titletown. Yes. Drake never sent me that hat. Drake making stealer hats now? You don't even like the stealers. It would have been crazy I walked on here with the Steeler hat though. Real crazy.
Starting point is 01:04:06 Shout out. Thank you all for watching and as always, it is what it is.
