Anything else, don't send me. You know what I'm saying? Well, listen, Myrna, you being mad generous this week. You bought me some glasses as well. Are you stealing them? Because the glasses didn't come with a case or nothing. You just handed me the joints. I said, put them on. There was no bag, there was no case.

He said, yo, yeah, you like these joints? I didn't know if they was hot. They might've been hot. Killing them glasses cost a lot of money, man. Everybody, no, I got a lot of compliments on them. I got mad compliments on the glasses. What I'm saying is, I never questioned the price. Shoot. I mad compliments on the glasses, what I'm saying is, I never questioned the price. I shoot.

I think somebody gave him to him. He ain't like him. He's like, yo, I got you these. Cause they wasn't really his style. He's like, yo, you like these? I got them for you. No, I got the glasses off South Beach. Anybody that's ever been on South Beach, they got this store on, I think it glasses off South Beach. Anybody that's ever been on South Beach,

they got this store on, I think it's 9th Street. It's Moda, it's like Moda Eyewear or something like that. Well, either way, thank you, man. I've been there. Yeah. Well, thank you, man. I appreciate the hats, the glasses, whatever I can take. Pause, I appreciate it.

Whatever you get. I appreciate it. I know it's crazy. appreciate it. Yeah, I know it's crazy. You gotta put in a pause application for that. Okay. Yeah. That's fine. That's fine. Okay, y'all. So, y'all know it's been a real interesting week, and we're gonna get straight into the sports topics. This is still sports-related.

We're gonna start with Shannon Sharp. So, he accidentally went on IG Live while he was having sex. He originally posted that he was hacked, but later clarified on his show that it was him, and that he did take full accountability, but he was embarrassed by what had happened. Obviously, a lot of things went around on the internet, but what did you guys think of the social media frenzy

and how he handled the situation? Want me to go first? All right, fine, I don't care. That nigga capping, that shit was on purpose. You can't go live without pushing like four or five buttons. That nigga capping, bro. You gotta push like four buttons to go live. You know how you pocket down somebody and you be like, oh.

I called you by accident. Yeah, because you had to get a drink. You probably could dial a lot, of course. Because it's just, you hit the button. Live, you got to go to Instagram. Then you got to go to post. Then you got to go to live. Then you make sure that, you sure you want to go live?

You got to hit four things to go live. And to me, that was, he ain't go viral in a little minute. And he's like, yo, let me go viral. Cause look, let's check out the whole scenario America. Look, first of all, I have a few things to say about this. The vocals is too clear. How you hear it that clear, if you're inviting that next to your phone,

sound like you had a mic library was selling me, sound like he had the air, he said, it's mad clear. You know what I'm saying? That's first and foremost. Secondly, you go up and apologize, but at the same time with your apology, you said, yo Chad, I told you I'd get it in, man.

I told you, I told you I'll get it in. So you apologize in the ESPNL, then you're bragging. Thirdly, you say, you know who called me today? Kat Williams, she said, you ain't gay today. Why you gotta make an announcement you ain't gay? If people say you gay, whatever. I don't think you need to make an announcement. I want pink a lot of my career.

People be like, hey, Kim is gay, Kim is gay. And I be like, bring your mother around and see what happens if you bring your mother around or your sister. Let's see how gay I am. I don't need to make an announcement that I'm not gay. I'm not saying Shannon Sharp is gay or isn't gay. I don't care what his sexual preference is.

I think this whole thing was staged. You know what happens after that? You talk about, oh, y'all crashed the site. All my merch sold out. All of a sudden, now all the merch sold out after you and IG Live grunting. You're like, ugh, I told you. Yeah, man, I think this was a point.

I think it's a Ponzi scam, but if it worked for you, unk, it worked for you, but that's my personal opinion. This was a Ponzi, me and Big Church was talking about it. All of a sudden you apologize it, brag it, merch sells out, you're not gay. It's too much going on in one Instagram joint for me. It's a lot going on, man.

That's just my personal opinion, Burda. How you feel about it? I didn't hear it. What happened? How do I explain? You ain't hear it for real for real? No, I didn't. Oh, hold on. we gonna bring it up.

Mike, you can give your opinion on it if you want. You don't have to comment, that's just me. We don't wanna drag you into our shit, but if you want. No, no, no, no, now listen, it is all interesting. I mean, really interesting for you, too. And if you did do it on purpose, I mean, I hear people on social media saying, he can only go a minute and 16 to something.

That's the part. You know. And then they started posting some of the old stuff that he said, you know how, you'll be a quick man, thank you ma'am. The man is just proving to be what he said. That's what he said. I thought it was.

Let me tell you something. You know Shannon asked me to do that show a long time ago and I'm telling y'all, I was saying, listen man, I'm too scared to do that. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Him and Ocho, him and Ocho to do that. I didn't care. I didn't care. I didn't care to do that. Him and Ocho, him and Ocho can do that. They really killed that dude when they were playing it.

If I was out there telling them stories, that body's gonna be popping up out there. I got two minutes, that body's out there. That ain't around. That ain't stand. I got two minute dead bodies out there. That ain't fair. My man, my man Mike Marlowe from The Wire, he got him in a vacant. If he played it though, if he played it, if he Kim Kardashian'd it, get out there like you said, and all of that stuff. I would have just made it

sound like I was a marathon man. You know what I mean? You know, like football. We got Mason to inherit though. So, but I like that. I like the assessment of that uncle. But you're basically saying, I mean, not you, of uncle Mike is what you're saying is that if it was stage, he would have did a little better a little better job of making this sound stage. Murdo, where the fuck was that?

So, this is- Hey, let me ask y'all something though. Not, oh my God, for a moment, when I was on the plane coming, I thought, oh my God, if anybody ever really heard you in those moments, like what really, what they think, you know what I'm saying? Like, what kind of talk do you do? And that'd be the most scary thing in the world.

Now for me, I ain't gonna lie, like Mike, and I'm not getting too much into my personal business, I'm Wesley Snipes in there. Me personally, I like to tell you what I like to do. I tell you, ride it even if your license is suspended. You know what I'm saying? I tell you all type of stuff. That's what I'm saying, Cam. That's what I'm saying. So much of it is really here in between these ears. So you know, hey. Yeah, you and your brain.

Yeah, exactly. But here's the footage so Mase can hear it actually. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man.

Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Anyways, this goes on. There's a lot of different clips, but you hear him. She says his name. He says her name. It just, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Who is it though? You don't hear no slapping and clapping. Yeah, yeah, Mike, yeah. Yeah, it's not urban enough. Yeah, yeah. It's not urban enough. Yeah, man, exactly.

Me and Mike on the same type of time, man. Me and Mike on the, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She gotta be a better actor than that. I need you to go, hey, I need them to be, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Sopranos. I agree, me and Mike, see me and Mike, I knew we ought to get me and Mike on the same time.

Murda, that's what I'm saying. Well, shout out what I'm saying. Oh, dead. Well, shout out to whoever Michelle is. So moving along, when asked about not seeing Marvin Harrison Jr. for a potential game winning touchdown, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray replied, as a quarterback, you're doing your reads. Sometimes the ball goes to him, but it's not my job.

So after hearing that quote from him in the postgame presser, what do you guys think of his response saying that's not his job? Mike first. That right there. Right? Like, what? What are you talking about? The hell you mean it's not your job? Yeah, whose job is it?

Exactly your job. That is... That's exactly your job. Even if the coach is screwing up, he threw the coach right under the bus. Even if the coach is screwing up and not making those calls, you still should be peeking back over there because that's the best player on your team. Now guys, you can say what you will. When I hear that kind of stuff, I'm wondering

just what kind of relationship you have with your team. I mean, you're not the best player on your team. Now guys, you can say what you will. When I hear that kind of stuff, I'm wondering just what kind of relationship those two have. Because if they've been out there working hard together and they're vibing together in any kind of way, there's no way you say that. You either say, yeah, I gotta make sure

I keep a middle eye, we know what kind of talent he is, and I gotta make sure I give him every opportunity to help this team win. That's the standard answer. That was so far off standard that I have to question what kind of relationship those two have right now. Absolutely. How are you the quarterback,

and you say that's not your job, you gotta ultimately look in his direction, and if you wanna win job. You got to ultimately look in his direction. And if you want to win, you should be throwing the ball in his direction. I don't know who else you would think of getting a ball to on that team first before him. So, you know, when he says something like this, like you said, it says that they don't have a great relationship. And it also speaks to the, um, the lack of, of, how could I say,

consistency with the head coach. Because he's basically saying the coach got me, you know, focused on something else, which means that all are not on the same page. Not only just him and the guy he should be thrown into, but also the coach. The coach is not on the same page. He's right, Coach.

Because he said, coach says, coach tells me all the time, let the play determine where the ball go. Yeah, that's the base of what we're called. Yeah. You wanna see, let the play determine. But, but, that's our main man over there. We wanna try to get it to him as much as possible. And you have to learn the game by allowing the play to determine where to go with the football. That's how you learn the game.

But there's a reason they double and triple team guys like me. I don't want you to get involved with guys like me. You cannot just say, okay, I'm going to help you all out by not throwing them the damn ball. You can't do that. That's why it's just crazy to me. Yeah, look, I was gonna say the same thing that Mike said is really about where their relationship is right now. And I know that

Marvin Haverson Jr. is new, and Kyle Murray has been injured a lot since he's been in the NFL. And he may be getting more attention, I'm talking about Marvin, than Kylah. Kylah may feel this is his team. Yeah, and he may not like it. It may be an ego thing, of course, for you to say that. And I haven't played football on any level

as far as you guys. I'm not even talking about high school. I didn't even play football. I played basketball. But if I'm not mistaken, Mike, football on any level as far as you guys. I'm not even talking about high school. I didn't even play football, I played basketball. But if I'm not mistaken, Mike, you read the defense, even if a play is called, if you see a certain defense out there,

the play may change while you're getting ready to hike the ball to the quarterback. And when you make a read on defense, and if you see the guy open, you're supposed to change the play. I've seen actually, and I hate to give you guys credit, I've seen Dak Prescott do that last week against the Braves, changed the play up through it

in the corner for a touchdown. I'm like, that's that $60 million right there. He's supposed to do that. That's what you're supposed to do. So I don't really have much more to add to it. I think Mike hit the nail on the head when he said, where's their relationship right now? Yeah, I think this is even more alarming

that he said the coach says, put the ball pause where the ball's supposed to go. Harrison is where the ball's supposed to go. That makes no sense. Where else is the ball supposed to go? And when I looked at it, I thought about this too now. And I do have, every time I've been around him, I've seen him, a great relationship,

I think with Kyler Murray. And I've seen him when he was real young and over here working out, I would be on the same football field. I was working out with my boys and his dad was working him out. So I got a great relationship with him. We've always been cool. But other people have said that, you know, it's the kind of person he is. He's not, you know, the guy to hang out with all the guys or whatever. And then I know Marvin Harrison, he's a different kind of dude.

And then I know Marvin Harrison, he's a different kind of dude. So now you got these two, I don't wanna call them a loop, but different kind of dudes. Yeah, you know, and then I hear those things and then I start saying in my head, I just don't know. I don't know. Cause those two together could be dangerous if they ever got together,

but I don't know if that's happening. Right. But Mike, think about if this ever got together, but I don't know if that's happening. Right. But Mike, think about it. This year of first NFL debut and you only get one catch, just one catch. The ball came to you one time. How are you feeling at this point before yards? What? Right. And everybody was talking about, Oh, they're so excited about your debut. Think about Marvin Harrison and his whole plight.

Now remember, he said, bump all of y'all, I'm not doing any of those workouts, he drafts me anyway, and he still goes very high to the Cardinals, and then you get out here. All of that, all of those resources to get this young man, and he was one of the greatest draft picks this team has had a long time. You still get throw him one ball, you get him one pad.

He's supposed to be right now the star of your team. Is there a fight for who's the star? I just, I don't, I, I, I, and, and when you do get a play call, sometimes you, when you get a play call, every when you get a play call, both receivers go to line of scrimmage, if it's man across the board, that's man to man defense, then it is your job. You get to choose which one of these matchups

do I think I have a better chance at winning. You gotta make that decision, and that has to be Marvin Harrison Jr. every time, twice on Sundays. We all totally agree. And listen, I don't know his personality well outside of being, outside of knowing his father and going to our school, Ohio State.

But most of the time, like outside, and I'll say this even you or to whoever, outside of life is general. Receivers are crazy. They think they're always open. There's no way that they're never not open. Receiver over the, right or wrong, Mike? Yo, AB was up here last year, last season, what does he say?

He said, I'm 7'11", I'm never not open. I'm always open. And I've never, only receiver I've seen not talk shit is Larry Fitzgerald. I was the night, I said, I've never seen, I said, I've never seen a receiver not talk shit. He's the only one. Do you think Marvin might be like,

yo, my nigga, you know what time it is. You need to, you know, in practice I'm talking about, do you think that led up to what could possibly happen? Do you think he's giving a wide receiver energy, Mike? Like, yo, my nigga, I'm always open. Make sure you hit me. Yeah, let me jump, look, look, look, look, look. Yeah, let me jump on that a little bit. I want y'all to understand,

cause I've thought long and hard about this, why are receivers such? Now you do understand the very nature of the business put us in a conundrum, in a conundrum. So, so we sit way out wide by ourselves. So. So you're way out there, independent by yourself. You're the most independent, dependent person in the world because you can't do anything without them throwing you the ball. So you're way out there, independent, and you're very dependent. It's a dichotomy that carries over in the attitude of all wide receivers.

You know what I'm saying? So that's why we kind of go back and forth. But I'm going to tell you, the one thing you want is a receiver that want the football. So that one pass he got, if he ain't saying something, there's a problem. I'd rather have a guy that I got to say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, come on, don't be doing all of that. Instead of having that guy that says, man, get out there and say something, they only threw you one damn ball.

You know what I'm saying? So I hope he's saying something. Yeah, but see, that's what I'm saying, Mike. And I'm happy you explained that to me. That was great information to know. But at the same time, if you think that's why Stephon Diggs is in Houston, maybe he's saying too much,

and then you got to make a decision because Josh Allen is like, yo, I can't take this nigga. He's driving me crazy. I'm trying to give him the ball as much as I can. What do you think about a situation like that? Right, you go too far. And I know Stephon got hot,

but Stephon did catch over 100 passes every year he was with the Buffalo Bills. You know what I'm saying? So, okay, buddy. But what I'm saying, he like, yo, I wanna catch 115 passes. That's what I'm saying. Josh, you gotta realize, Jack, you caught 100 passes,

but I threw you the 100 to catch. How am I, God damn, that's what I'm saying. And I'm not making excuses, I'm asking a question. And what happened, I believe what happens is, all right now, okay, don't go too far. Don't, you're important here, we need you. And yes, you've given us a great lift, brother. But you're not as important as that white quarterback.

Don't fool yourself. We joking, but I ain't joking. Sometimes, you know to me, they gotta tell you. Now that same confrontation going on in Arizona between Marvin Harrison Jr. and Kyle Murray, I don't know if it hunt results in the same results that it did in Buffalo on which one of them will go. Well, look, it's still early.

We're not, look, this is his rookie season. I don't think Kyle and Murray really got a full two, three seasons in because of his injuries. This is all first week shit. I think that we'll have some time, but time will tell. I think if they keep it up, Kyle is out of this. You're right, first week, but first week, but that's some real deep shit he just said.

I don't care about nobody. First week, I can't have my quarterback saying,. It's not my job to look for him. That's just insane, and it's uncalled for. There's no way he should say that. There's just no way he should say that. Yep. Cannot argue with that. Okay, so let's get into our week two predictions.

Let y'all know right now, Mace, you are in the lead. All of your picks were correct last week. Let y'all know right now, makes you are in the lead. All of your picks were correct last week. Let's see if you can keep that or if somebody else can steal that. So the first one we're gonna predict is the Bills versus Dolphins. Mike, I'm gonna let you go first. Who do you think will win that game? I'm taking the Dolphins in this game and they have to win this game.

This is a man's... This is their manhood. They haven't had much success against Buffalo. And I'm saying to the Dolphins, because tour is 0-7 in any weather, in any games that is colder than 43 degrees. The Dolphins must win every one of these early games. Cause the only way, and they got a blessing here The Super Bowl is in New Orleans. They got a dome. They want to have the playoffs at home They can't go on the road all AFC teams playing cold weather. Oh

Man I'm definitely gonna have to go Miami even the way the way I'm definitely gonna have to go with Miami. Even the way, what's his name? Hill came back resilient from that incident last week, just says the type of season I think they're gonna have. Where they playing at? Miami. Yeah. In Miami.

Oh yeah. I'm going with Miami, if it's in Miami. But see, I will say this for the, I will say this for the, for the Dolphins though. Y'all should, I know they wish they would have got this game cause they have to play them twice this season. It isn't that cold right now in Buffalo. Right.

You gotta go in there in December. It's going to be bad. Y'all should, I know they wishing we could have went now when it's about be bad. Y'all shoulda, I know they wishin' we coulda went now when it's about 50 degrees, had a better game cause it's gonna be horrible when it's minus six. Go on Miami. Okay. Next game, Browns versus Jaguars.

Mike, who do you believe will win this game? Now, the Browns, this has to be one of them games that the Browns look like were getting back on track. We have something here. Because up until this point, everybody's been saying to Deshaun Watson that they thought they got his dead and gone. And I saw last week some of the body language from Amari Cooper was, you know,

when he threw a slant route behind him, it looked like he was saying, man, this joker, man. Like, you know, he was done with it. That's what I'm saying. The Browns have to feel against the wall here. And I say they sneak a win in right here. I say they sneak a win. Yeah, I think the Browns definitely win this game

that the defense, I think the defense is gonna win it for them though. Yup. I'm gonna go with Jacksonville, Sen Jacksonville, I think Deshaun Watson, and not saying that he's, like I said, we talked about this, he wasn't on the show yesterday, Mike,

when he's dealing with death. Oh, matter of fact, I think we talked about what Mike was on the show, but anyway, it seemed like he has a lot of stuff going on off the field still. Hit with a new lawsuit. I didn't like the body language like you just said, and it looked like him and Amari Cooper

definitely wasn't on the same page. To me, the Jaguars weren't that bad last year, and they had a chance to push for the playoffs until Trevor Lawrence got hurt. So I'm gonna go with Jacksonville for this. Okay. Next game we're gonna discuss is the Bucs versus Lions. Mike, who do you think will win this game?

Mike. It's a good game. I mean, I'm really looking forward to watching this game because the Lions didn't play as well as they could and they still got that win. And I'm taking Detroit to win this game and the Bucks, the Bucks believe they got something going, but I think the Lions win at home.

Yeah, I'm going with the Lions as well. I'm not following Mike Picks, but he just happened to be on the same page I'm on today. So, yeah, I think the Lions are gonna do exceptionally well this year. I'm not ready to get a Lions hat, but shout out to Detroit. Yeah, I like the Lions at home.

Okay, and then next, the Bengals versus the Chiefs. Mike, what are your thoughts? Now, it is the game that the Bengals even though they left last week Feeling so bad can kind of fix some things and get at least get a good measurement Even if you don't win you just play it close I'm taking the chiefs. They were talking calling this Barrowhead Stadium and all of that man They were talking, calling this Barrowhead Stadium and all of that.

Look, man, I'm taking the Chiefs. They got problems, and since then, Jamarque still ain't got his money, so I don't know if they can get it all together. Yeah, I'm going Chiefs, and I think it's gonna be a runaway game. I don't even think it's gonna be close. Going with the Bengals.

Just out of spite. I do agree with Mike. Look, I'm gonna tell you one thing. They paid Jamar Chase this week. I wouldn't even be thinking about it be the Bengals. But they still got off the field problems and that shit still might linger into this week's game. But, something about when Patrick Mahomes plays against Joe Burrow, man,

he's still got a winning record against him. So I'm gonna go with the Bengals. Okay, we've got two more. The Bears versus the Texans. Mike, what's your prediction? I'm taking the Texans. To... To stomp them out a little bit here. And, and I'm a little worried.

I want to make sure that they have some kind of real plan for Caleb Williams. It's, I don't want to see another game of him running around and running for his life. So, and you know, that defense, they got a lot of turnovers last week, that don't happen often in the NFL like that. The Texans win this game. Remember, remember now, look, Caleb Williams, he's gonna be looking across, watching C.J. Stroud, who everybody's saying,

can you play like he did in this rookie season? So you even gotta add pressure, put on the man, because that guy's sitting across the way from him. Yeah, I'm going with the Texans. I feel like this is going to be a standout year for CJ Stroud and the Texans. That they're going to prove that they really belong here. I thought last year he did great as a rookie,

but this is the sophomore season is this season that you show that you really belong here and it wasn't a fluke. Yeah, I'm going with the Texas. I ain't like the way the Bears looked last week. They got a long way to go on offense. Okay. And then the last game, the Saints versus the Cowboys.

Mike, what is your prediction? I'm playing here, baby. In Dallas, a home opener here in Dallas, it's going to be rocking. It's always a good rivalry because of the proximity of these two places, you know what I mean? So we'll get a big crowd of St. fans trying to creep in the stadium.

But Dallas will win that football game. To solidify, to solidify, they'll be one of the top teams coming out of the NFC. And the Saints looked pretty good last week. Oh man, this is where me and Mike go awry. I'm gonna go with the Saints. I know I shouldn't, but just cause you saying this about Dallas,

if there was ever a time that Dallas could mess up, this would be it. What better team would the Saints want to beat better than the Cowboys? And I think they could, you know? Not that they will, but I'm going they could. I don't know why you say you shouldn't do that because Mike on the show, this is the Saints.

Cowboys had a good week last year because niggas got paid. Some niggas ain't like that. They ain't the team last year. They not like us. They not like that. That's what New Orleans is thinking. Them niggas like us.

The league is thinking that. Nobody ain't just New Orleans. Everybody know they ain't like that. Don't let Mike come up here and make you think the Cowboys is like that this year. They not like that. That's why when we asked if they Super Bowl contenders, he had to laugh at himself.

They ain't like that. Six sacks though. Six sacks last week. Six sacks. Stopped the team running. That Mike Zimmer and that defense, I'm telling you, I can't wait to see what the Saints do when they face that defense, that pass rush.

Look, y'all always had good defense. OJ called last year, God bless the day. OJ said y'all the 85 Bears last year. Yeah. In the first four games. The first four games, they was the 85 Bears on defense. Look, listen man, at the end of the day, y'all had a good game last week, everybody got paid.

And this is where it ends. The Saints was looking explosive good game last week, everybody got paid. And this is where, and the Saints was looking explosive on offense last week. It's where the Saints come marching in. Yeah. Yeah. And I would go with you guys, if this game was in New Orleans, if this game was in New Orleans, I would be worried, like, I don't know what, it's the only place I played was in that dome

Where man them people were so loud your bones be rattling in your own body My bones were saying we gonna lose this is go home It was so loud in that stadium man, so but in Dallas no, no Listen, let me let me just tell, I'll tell Statt and I'll tell Mase this, and I'm not sure if y'all notice or not. Every week, Mike's gonna pick the Cowboys. It doesn't matter who they play.

He's gonna pick the Cowboys every week when it's time to play. So we got 18 weeks of him picking the Cowboys, no matter what. So y'all can just be ready for that. Well, I'm keeping track. So we will see who wins this round next week. We're gonna go to break. When we return, we will discuss our AFC

and NFC sleeper teams. Don't go anywhere. Four hours, one heart, one love. Excuse me? After last night's performance, we're gonna do this again? Yeah. That's alright. I don't think so.

And make sure you close the door behind you. When I tell the pussy When I tell the pussy up man When I tell the pussy up man I'm back! Oh my god! What the hell, man? I'm gonna go now. Muchacho, levántate. Toma esto, bebetelo. Right now?

Well, well, cuña. Okay. Well. Now, right now. Right now. Yeah. -♪ Walk it on, walk it on, ooh, let me see you walk it on, walk it on, yeah, let me see you walk it on, go, girl, let me see you walk it on, walk it on... -♪ Walk it on, walk it on, ooh, let me see you walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it on, walk it free pick, so CD Lamb just has to get one total yard. So higher or lower mace? Higher.

Underdog just giving money away. You said CD Lamb just gotta get one yard? Yep, that's it. I'm about to bet the house. Yo, fuck you too. Yeah, one yard, they just got, Underdog must got a lot of money, they giving shit away absolutely over.

Unless they, see that be, you know what that should be? When a nigga, when they got the drop. That a nigga not gonna play. Like, yo, his girl expected to be pregnant. So then if you don't play, you already bet the one yard that he's not gonna get, cause he gonna play. I'm gonna go over though. I don't see why this doesn't make sense.

Not the better. Right. Dak Prescott is at 251 and a half passing yards. Do you have him higher or lower cam? Dak looked good last week, man. There's only one quarterback last week over 300 yards though. Let me give Dak more of that.

I'm gonna go higher. Higher. Sounded like you didn't wanna say that, but. You know that nigga, C.D. Sounded like you didn't want to say that, but. You know that nigga, C.D. Lam picking, you know what I think about quarterbacks too, man? And let me ask, I'll ask Mike after we finish this, I want to ask Mike a question. Okay.

And then Chris Olav is at 55 and a half receiving yards, do you have him higher or lower, Mase? Lower. Go lower as well. Okay. So remember to use your Thursday 30 token for an extra 30% boost to your profit. Just go on the app, apply your Thursday 30 token

at any qualifying entry and watch it boost. So make sure you download the Underdog Fantasy app so you can make your picks too. We are joined back with our analyst, Michael Irvin. I wanna ask Mike a question before we go to the next topic. Mike, what do you think about quarterbacks getting the yardage on their stats when they throw it for four yards and y'all run for 62

and they get a 66 yard pass? What do you think about that? Get that spare for the quarterback? Yeah, well, right. And then they go and get 260 million millies. Right. Right, yeah. He threw for 300 yards.

He threw six yards. No one ran for a lot of them yards. Right. He threw six yards, and then you run for 57 yards, and he get a 60 yard pass. What do you think about that? You think that's right? How does that work?

Hey, it's crazy. And I even told him, I said, now you guys, what we should try to do too, because what I had a problem with was when I get a pass interference call, I want them yards. So you know what I'm saying? Right.

I'm 50 yards down the field, passing affairs. First down, right hip. What about my damn yards? Right. I don't get them yards. Right. That's a fact. I would have caught that ball, you know?

That's a fact. So, yeah, there are things like that that bother you in the National Football League that I always thought about. Right. Do you negotiate that when it's time to renegotiate your contract? There are things like that that bother you in the National Football League that I always thought about. Right, do you negotiate that when it's time to renegotiate your contract? Like, yo, we had 500 yards after the catch.

Is that part of the negotiations when it's time to reup for your contract? No, that is part of it now. Right. You absolutely put that on the table if you are great at it because the skillset says that you are good at rack, run after the catch. You know what I mean?

So that is part of the talent, yes. Okay, thank you. I just wanted to know. Then one more thing before we go, sorry. Do you really think that Zeke Elliott is better than Alvin Kamara right now? I think Zeke Elliott, absolutely for Dallas Cowboys is better than Adam Smith.

Oh my goodness, Mike, Mike. Mike, stop, Mike, stop. You were stuttering before you started, Mike. You're clearly not telling the truth on this, Mike. This relationship with the quarterback from anything we're talking about, moving in yards and catches. It's not like Alvin Camaro can blow away Zeke

in any of those particular areas. He might be a little faster still right now, but when it comes to the relationship Zeke has and the leadership he is on this team, there's no doubt. It's so important that they got Zeke back, that I'm telling you, it's one of the main reasons, I guarantee you, they were focused enough to turn everything around and win that game last week.

Okay. There you have it. Okay, so let's discuss different teams. Who is your sleeper team in the AFC and the NFC? Mike, I'ma let you go first. You know, a team that I watched last week that I said, man, that team looks a lot better than I think a lot of people gave credit to

are the coaches, right? And then I went and started looking at the coach schedule and I said, oh, that's gonna be a rugged ride right there, but that's a rugged ride, you know, for them to get to where they want to be. Even though I thought they looked good and we want another team, when we say, you know, surprise team that can surprise somebody late in the season and play into the playoffs, we got to watch are those charges with Jim Hall ball?

You know, when you got that quarterback, Justin Herbert, and you came in your first game and said, sit down son, we gonna run this football. You gotta watch him, because that's the only thing that really beat Kansas City if you keep patching my homes on the sideline. Oh my goodness. I can't listen to Mike keep doing this, Mike.

For real, Mike. You gotta cut this out, Mike. Are you just gonna give the Cowboys a pass on everything, Mike? What do you mean? What you talking about? The surprise team here. What are we saying?

Yeah, he's a good boy. How do I give a check a pass? All right, all right. I'm just checking. You still was thinking about the last shit, right? Yeah, I'm still. I got PTSD from the last thing he said. Everything he said sound like the Cowboys.

I'm over here in PTSD. Did he just say that again? Oh man. Yeah. My sleeper team out of the NFC, I'm going to have to go with, I'm going to go, I mean from the AFC, I'm going to go with Distillus. Makes that happy. Wow. Dist that happy.

Sounds good. Wow. The Steelers. She is in a great mood this week. Yeah, I'm being generous this week. Don't use it against me. Won't do that. Okay.

For my sleeper team, and they have a brutal schedule for the NFC, is Tampa Bay. Yeah. That's my sleeper team. Mike Evans, you know, he's been there. It's a real, real comfort to have him for Baker Mayfield. And this is their second year. They paid Baker Mayfield.

Mike Evans got paid. Everybody's paid. So it should be some chemistry. They finished this season really good last season, but they're not considered better than San Francisco or the Lions or Philadelphia for that matter. So my sleeper team for the NFC would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And to not to even agree with this nigga over here, but honestly, my sleeper team for the AFC is the Steelers. Um, yeah, this nigga over here too. Both of y'all Steelers fans in this fucking shit. I'm being honest, though, because you know what it is. Look, we have the usual suspects when it comes to the AFC. We got Miami, we got Buffalo, we have the Chiefs, the Bengals whenever they're healthy.

Um, Baltimore, of course. The Steelers, as an organization over the years, is one of the most storied franchises. You're going back to Bradshaw and Lin-Sman and so on. These people were... I wasn't even born when these people planned. It's just the shit I had to hear from my uncles. You know what I'm saying?

And what we've come to settle for the last six, seven years is Steelers' success has been Mike Thomas having a winning season. That's Steelers' success for black people the last six, seven years. Maybe longer than that. Maybe longer than that because Ben Roethlisberger probably retired two or three years after

he should have retired. So they had to put up with that shit. Like, damn, Ben wanted a couple of Super Bowls It may be longer than that because Ben Roethlisberger probably retired two or three years after he should have retired. So they had to put up with that shit like, damn, Ben wanted a couple Super Bowls. We don't wanna kick this nigga out. Ben limping into practice and shit. They know they need to get rid of this nigga, but they don't wanna get rid of him

because he helped them win the Super Bowls. That everything for the Steelers has been based upon, well, Mike Thomason and then lose this season, he had over 500 record or he's five. That's not the story franchise that the Steelers are. Us as black people, yeah, we rooting for Mike Thomas and it's like, yeah, nigga, that nigga ain't lose. He ain't got nobody this quarterback.

They say, look, man, that's not the Steelers franchise. If anybody could get it done though, and right now it's a little, we don't know what's gonna happen with the quarterback situation with Russell Wilson being hurt. Mike, you gotta figure it out. I'm betting on you this season.

At least to get into the wild card. And I got one more sleeper team in the AFC, the Texans. They're not really a sleeper. Like people are aware of them. They went to the playoffs last year. I think people are on them. Like, it isn't like, and to me, that's what I'm saying. The Lions really a sleeper. Like, people are weird. I went to the playoffs last year. I think people are on them. Like, it isn't like...

And to me, that's what I'm saying. The Lions aren't sleepers anymore, and the Houston Texans aren't sleepers anymore. They was in the playoffs last year. I'm not saying... That's just my opinion. Yeah, would the Jets be sleepers? Yeah, you could go to sleep. Yeah.

I'm... The Jets would definitely be sleepers 100%. Absolutely. You know, so watch that I thought had a pretty good week one. I'm interested to see what happens with them. Are the Minnesota Vikings? You know, I think they thought everything would be sleep, but it was just the Giants. It was just the Giants.

But Sam Donnell has to be sitting over there saying, man, this is a great new toy I got. It's just the Jefferson. You know what I'm saying? So I'll watch them closely and see what happens. Yeah. Right. And then just side note regarding the Steelers, that's also why I really wish Russell Wilson

would be playing in this next game versus Denver, because I thought that would have been interesting to see. He most likely is. Stat, please do not say nothing about Russell Wilson. I have to see him playing. He was pissing Russell Wilson off. I gotta see him play with the Steelers. Yeah, last year.

Last year was, yo, bro. You said everything possibly negative about that. Listen, though. That was crazy. Right now, Justin feels like this is how we all feel about him right now, but to see Russell play versus Denver, that would have been a cool little thing to see, but hoping he gets healthy soon,

because I'm trying to see the drama. Let's go Justin, get that W, baby. Yeah, yeah. The whole thing is, I would like to see Russell Wilson play against Sean Payton too, because that's beef. They got a problem. But I'm just saying, for how to want to see

Russell Wilson do anything. Yeah. It's crazy, that's all I'm saying. He didn't even know he should be playing last year. Yeah, exactly. You wanna see him play. I mean, he hasn't for real yet, so that's happening as we see it.

So, okay, so moving along, aside from Sleeper, who do you guys think is the best team overall going into week two? I'm hoping you guys don't say the Chiefs, because I'm curious to see what other team you guys have in mind. But I want to hear you guys' thoughts. Mike first.

But when we say the best team going into week two, we're really saying who was the best team in the performance they put on in week one. That's why we're indicating they looked the best going into week two. And I thought Kansas City did a great job in beating Baltimore, but I'm gonna have to give that to San Francisco being the number one team, the team that I thought put on the best performance. They did what they

did without the 20 million dollar running back and basically without the 30 million dollar receiver. CMC was on the sideline, and Brandon and I didn't really do anything, and they still kept that steam machine rolling right along. So I'ma go with San Francisco 49ers, a slight favorite over Kansas City. You almost told the truth, Mike. You saw that, you said, I'ma go with Kansas, and then you came back to that. Oh my goodness.

You know where Title Town resides. You know where the winds resides. Kansas City, man, stop playing. That's his answer. I'm going with the Chargers. Mike made a good point. They didn't even use Justin Herbert that much his answer. Cam. I'm going with the Chargers. Mike made a good point. They didn't even use Justin Herbert that much last week. And they had a pretty good week.

And I really believe that Harbaugh is a player's coach. People love playing for that dude, whether it's professional, whether it's college, whether it is, no matter where he's coaching at. And I think the team's going to get more and more comfortable with him coaching. And plus, they play the Carolina Panthers. And I think the team's gonna get more and more comfortable with him coaching.

And plus they play the Carolina Panthers. They have a great week two schedule ahead of them. Yeah, and you know who else had a good first week? The Eagles. The Eagles. They will be a good pick for the best at second week. My sleeper team for this year probably would have been Green Bay

if love didn't get hurt either. Yeah. To be honest with you, because I think they would have a decent year. I don't know how it's going to turn out, and I don't know how long he's going to be out. Good point. Okay, so let's discuss Aaron Rodgers.

Of course, the Jets lost to the 49ers, 32 to 19. But as a whole, what are you guys' expectations for Aaron Rodgers this season? Mike first. Let me tell you now, when I was watching that game, and at one time, one moment, when they made that great drive, Jax made a great drive, I started having some PTSD moments

about Aaron Rodgers and what he's done to the Cowboys over the years. I said to myself, uh-oh, there's done to the Cowboys over the years. I said to myself, uh-oh, there's about to be one of those Ann Rogers games. Then San Fran shut that junk right back down. Like, stop, don't even go that crazy. But the Jets, they have to feel pretty good about it because even the offense we saw was 2,500 times better than the offense they had over the last few years with the quarterback they had.

So, you know, I saw Ann Rogers, he was a little rusty, but I think he'll get better. And I think the Jets will make some waves. I'll have the Jets and Dolphins coming out of the AFC East with Buffalo sitting home. Hmm. Wow. That's crazy, Mike. You making some crazy decisions here this week, Mike. Excuse me. But I dig it. I pause. I can see the Jets winning as well if Amrod just shows up

because the defense has been, you know, pretty phenomenal since last year. So if he shows up anywhere, 80% of who he used to be, then they're tough out for any team. I don't know, I gotta see more. He didn't look as mobile as we're used to seeing Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is really mobile when he was playing last time we seen him play.

Throughout his career, still throws very accurate, look really good when he did make the right passes or the pocket didn't collapse on him and he had to run out the pocket. He looked really good. I just got to see more. He didn't show up the preseason. He didn't show up the camp, training camp.

He didn't, you know, this is one game sample size we have on Aaron Rodgers in probably the last 18 months, if not more. I don't have an answer for where Aaron Rodgers is gonna be. I think that's a very fucking bold statement. Mike said that the Jets is coming out over Buffalo. Yeah, look, look, this is why we got you here. That shit sound crazy. Right, right.

Right, right. Let me tell you something else I noticed though in that game that I am a little worried about, you know, the Garrett Wilson, the Aaron Rodgers, the Garrett Wilson combination. I mean, I'm looking at Garrett Wilson, that's a small dude. This dude's like 180 pounds, probably soaking wet. And you're trying to make him a primary, all around wide receiver, outside. And I think 49 has just got physical with him.

And I'm saying to myself, dude, y'all gotta get, they gotta get Mike Williams going on the outside and they gotta work Garrett Wilson mostly on that inside and in the slot and let him do his work that way. And then they'll have something going. Because Dan Rogers, he's going to need a big target outside. Okay, and then our last topic, regarding Tyree Kills' detainment in a press conference,

he said he wants the officer fired. So he said, gone, gone, gone. He gotta go. And then he said that they disrespected his teammates, and he had some crazy words towards them, and they didn't even do anything. So after hearing that and hearing that he wants the police officer terminated, what do you guys believe should happen?

And then how do you feel about the situation as a whole now after seeing the body cam footage? Mike first. Well, I still believe in what I said in the first place. I still believe that Tyree Hill didn't do anything to warrant being snatched out of his car like that. It just seems like your boy came to work with already something on his mind, you know.

I've seen it over and over again on these little stops where I'm telling you, I just love them. I look at them and I'm jealous of them. Them little old ladies when they're yelling at the police officer, get on, I ain't do nothing. It's probably, I mean, they just having a conversation with them, like, you know.

I'm so scared to talk to the police like that. You know what I'm saying? But I wonder if Tyree's setting up for something here. You know, he said he wanted to be a police officer and handle it the highway. I know my lawyer was asking me for his number. I'm sure all kinds of lawyers now called him. I don't know what he said.

Maybe he's setting up for something right here. But I do want everybody, those headwind police officers that means you're getting drunk from the gun in the badge and all of that with power. He's right. We gotta get them off the force. All of them off the force.

Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, I think he asked for the right call, but I'm more interested in pause. Who is Drew? Cause he was calling on Drew and you were talking about Drew the day before it happened. Drew Rosenhouse is his agent. Drew Rosenhouse is a guy, he was my best friend. One of my best

friends coming up. He actually helped me get through school. He's a brilliant young man. Brilliant young man. He wanted to be male Kuiper. Drew wanted to be male Kuiper. I said, Mitch. Not anything against male Kuiper. I said, Drew. You're too damn smart to be Mel Kuyper. You know what I mean? He's a lawyer. He's a lawyer. So I hoped to meet with my attorneys at the time

and he became an agent and one of the best agents in the NFL. Okay. That's dope when your agent has attorney skills as well. Mike, you said it. You said it. you said it all. You said it great, we gonna wrap up with that. There you have it.

Okay, well Mike, thank you for being here. Mike, we appreciate you, man. Thank you so much, man. We gonna see you next week, bro. Absolutely, man. I love you dudes, man. Love you too, man. I'm gonna get you a San Fran hat, Mike.

That's my biggest dessert right now. Hat Mike. That's my biggest concern right now. Y'all be safe man. Enjoy your shit week bro. Thanks Mike. Thank you. All right buddy. That's all the time that we have for today.

Thanks for watching. And as always, it is what it is. Thanks for watching!
