Starting point is 00:00:48 along with your hosts, Mace and cam. And we are joined back with our football analyst. Oh, Jay. Oh, man. We miss you,
Starting point is 00:00:59 man. Oh man. I see y'all 2024, man. We really, really miss you. How you been? Everything been good?
Starting point is 00:01:06 Yeah, I dealt with some health issues, but I had all my kids here. Good. From Florida, from California. They were all here, you know, getting it right. And I'm not right. Good. Listen, you know, even when you tell me you got a little cold or anything, look, you look great every time you come on this camera, man.
Starting point is 00:01:26 Look, Mase made the slogan, but you may have perfected it. You do it like you do it for TV. When you're doing it, you're doing it like you're doing it for TV. Every time I see you, you TV ready, man. You are camera ready, man. It's really good to have you back, and I'm happy to see you, man. Well, it's good to be back. Especially on a date like
Starting point is 00:01:50 today. Here we go. Set it off. This is why you can't get niggas that compliment. Well, OJ, I'm glad you're having a great day because the Buffalo Bills defeated the Steelers 31-17 and they're now advancing to the divisional round. So what did you think about the game?
Starting point is 00:02:17 What were your overall thoughts? Hold on. Oh, before we go, yo, Mace. Let, let, oh, look, oh, I'm going to let you know. I'm going to be honest with you before you talk. I'm going to ask Mace and myself to step out for about five minutes because Treasure was trolling you when you wasn't here.
Starting point is 00:02:34 She like, yeah, when OJ come, because her team is the Steelers. So she was like, yeah, I hope OJ know what time it's about to be and all this. So I'm going to let you and Treasure have a moment. So because she was really talking a lot of stuff, not talking about you. She's like, yeah, when OJ come back, we're going to see what happens because we play them. So we'll see what happens next week.
Starting point is 00:02:55 So the floor is you guys. The Steelers versus the Bills. Go ahead. Let's see what happens. You and Treasure. I'm going to tell you. I was worried about the Steelers because, you know, the Steelers, they play in inclement weather, just like the Bills do.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I love their coach. He have them ready to play. I didn't realize that, was it C.J. Watt didn't play today? Yeah, C.J. Watt, he's injured. That affected us a lot. Yo, murder, here go the excuses. That did affect you. It really did, though.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Yeah, but the Bills, for the last six weeks, that did affect you. It really did, though. Yeah. But the Bills, for the last six weeks, the Bills were the team that they were earlier in the year that we thought they were, you know? I thought in this game, the game really came down to two plays, that one run, you know, by Josh, that one run, you know, by Josh and that one run by, what's his name, Khan, the little light-skinned dude, Jameer Khan.
Starting point is 00:04:01 That was one hell of a run. Now, you take those two runs out of the game, you got a pretty tough game. You know, you got a pretty tough game going. But the Bills are playing winning football. They're playing defensive football. And they're doing something that I complained about all last year, as you guys know, earlier this year. They're running with purpose. They're just not running the ball so that they take a break from the pass. Ever since they got rid of that guy, Ken Dorsey, they started running with purpose on offense. They got a guy down in Houston named Delvin Singletary.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Everybody last year said Buffalo had no running backs. I said, they got running backs. They just don't run them. They don't practice with them with purpose. And you see what he's doing down in Houston, you know, playing with C.J. Stroud. He is kicking some butt. And the Bills running backs are now kicking butt because they're running
Starting point is 00:04:58 with purpose. And that's what won the game for them today was running the football. They ran the football with purpose. And that's what they're going to have to do the rest of the year, especially against KC next week. So overall, I do think the Bills had a great game. I felt like just watching the Steelers, we were waiting for a miracle to happen that didn't happen. I mean, you guys had a lot of injured players
Starting point is 00:05:22 and we had a lot of opportunities to make plays that just weren't being completed. I mean, I do think TJ Watt's absence on us hurt our defense a lot because defensively you guys were killing us. Like we couldn't stop any of you guys' plays. Josh Allen was doing great with his arms and his legs. So he made sure to rush the ball and that hurt us a lot. We had, I mean, Minka Fitzpatrick missed a wide-open tackle. That's when you guys made a touchdown. It just, we saw the decline, saw it happening at the beginning.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I mean, that's why I said Steelers fans have a little bit of delusion. My dad's texting me. He's like, Steelers are going to the Super Bowl. And I was like, nah. After the first half, I already knew we lost it. It just felt like it. So, salute to you guys. I mean, I was saying a lot because I was waiting for you to come back so we could
Starting point is 00:06:06 discuss it, but I mean, now you're back with the win. Treasure. Who the man? Who the man? Welcome back. I'm over here. You won and that's all you get.
Starting point is 00:06:23 Welcome back. Welcome back. All right. She's talking about after the first half. You knew that the first quarter they wasn't going to win. After the 14 zip, right? Yeah, we just had a really slow start and it just stayed that way. It was stagnant.
Starting point is 00:06:42 So, I mean. Hey, yo, Murda, you want to go? Because I just want... You got anything to say about it? Because I got a couple things to say. Yeah, actually, first thing I wanted to say, I knew they was going to lose
Starting point is 00:06:56 when they got down 14-zip. 14-zip, it was like the weather, they're not going to actually come back. But I want to give some props to the guy Mason. He did kind of good being a replacement. But that's all I wanted to share.
Starting point is 00:07:11 These are not really my teams. I'm looking forward to the Bills next week when they come through Titletown. That's for me and Ogun. Hold on. We're going to get to that unless Mason's just jumping the gun. Don't even feed into that. I got going to get to that. Let's make this just jump in the gun. Oh, don't even feed into that. I got a few things to say. I'm triggering, though.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I got a few things. Oh, we'll talk about it, but he left Kansas City. And listen, yesterday morning, the fans in the comments when the show was on, they knew you left Kansas City, and they was getting at you. Or while the show was on the comments said Mace cut out but we'll get to that in a minute let's get back to Buffalo
Starting point is 00:07:47 and and the Steelers first of all a couple things stat you can try and downplay it with all you want and act like you wasn't
Starting point is 00:07:58 talking shit talking about I want to have a discussion whatever you was acting you was acting crazy whatever you can say whatever you want
Starting point is 00:08:04 secondly Mace you want secondly mace you want to sit here and say mason did a good job because y'all got the same name trash nigga he's not ben roethlisberger he had a decent game y'all got the same name so you're trying to give him some props oj you get all the props today because buffalo during the middle of the season we wasn't sure what they was going to do. So they made a great, great comeback. But look, everybody talking about the Steelers was going. Look, we knew the Steelers was out when they got in. We knew.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It wasn't no secret that the Steelers was not going to win a game. We knew that. Look, the goal for the Steelers this year was that Mike T not have a losing record. Once he didn't have a losing record, that was the win. That was the whole win because he never had a losing record coaching the Steelers. Once they got above 500 and he had a winning season, that was your Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That was it. That's what he does. That's what we expected. We didn't expect nothing else. Daddy stat, papa stat, you're bugging. I love,
Starting point is 00:09:07 I love you and you my man and all that. You're bugging, bro. Listen. You don't kill me, you're so proud. Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 00:09:14 papa stat gotta do it. You're bugging. You're bugging. The problem is this, he is stalling into his daughter. That's, that's, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:21 I like fathers and daughter relationships because they bond tight. Like, I never had a daughter, I had a son. They always say, if you know your daughter. That's, you know, I like fathers and daughter relationships because they bond tight. Like, I never had a daughter. I had a son. They always say, you know, your daughter loves the father more and all this stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:31 This is the problem with Stat. You know, Daddy Stat installed her into this Pittsburgh shit. She never even lived near Pittsburgh. And she's been a fan since she was little.
Starting point is 00:09:41 And now she's delusional because her dad is a little delusional when it comes to the Steelers. And I'm not saying that as a person. I met Daddy Statt Poors. That's my man. Super smart guy.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Career-wise, great father, great husband, everything. Steeler shit? Cuckoo bird. Crazy shit. Love you, Dad. Love you, Dad. That's like my big unk. Love you, unk.
Starting point is 00:10:06 But you can't do this and train Staten. Now she delusional. OJ, you the winner for today. And Mace, stop with this Mason Rudolph shit because y'all got the same name. Nigga, it's not Ben Roethlisberger, man. We got to find a real legitimate quarterback in Pittsburgh for them to do anything.
Starting point is 00:10:24 That's my take on the whole shit. And Mace, I think you're wrong. I think Kansas City has to come through Buffalo. No, no, we're going to get to that. We're going to get to that. We're going to talk about that next. Yeah. Title time.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Oh, I mean, we live there. They come up with a chance. Okay, I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're looking for property, ho. You got real estate. Jet lag. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:10:55 We're going to work with you. At least you don't have a grass on the off of you. Let's go, O. Welcome back. Yes. Welcome back, O. Oh, Odo got a grasp on the obvious, man. Welcome back, O.
Starting point is 00:11:19 I can't wait. You can't wait. You can't wait for that game to get done. The funny thing is, I'm a big fan of, you know, Phil. I am such a fan of his. I've gone out as him on Halloween the last two years. I am a big fan of his. But not next week, I won't be.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Next week, I will not be big fan of his, but not next week. I won't be next week. I will not be a fan of it. So let's actually get into that because I see the tensions already rising. Because of that game, the Bills will stay at home and host the Kansas City Chiefs. This will be Mahomes' first career playoff road start. Who do you think will win that game? Y'all took a start. You're asking us questions that are already answered. The Bills are going to win the game? Y'all took a start. You're asking us questions that
Starting point is 00:12:05 I already answered. The Bills are going to win the game. You know the Bills are going to win the game. It's going to be a good game. I love Kansas City for a couple of years and I don't think they're as good
Starting point is 00:12:21 this year as they have been the last couple of years. And the Bills are hurting defensively, but I think the Bills have enough that the Bills will win this year. I think this is the Bills' year to go to the Super Bowl. To win the Super Bowl, we've got to wait and see. But I think it's their year to go to the Super Bowl, we got to wait and see. But I think it's their year to go to the Super Bowl. Hey, Murda, it's your
Starting point is 00:12:49 team. It is their year to go to the Super Bowl. Why would you go there and not win? This is what I'm up against. The Bills have done it four times, so it happens. Yeah, they've been there four times in a row and they won it, so it's not shocking if it happens.
Starting point is 00:13:06 But go ahead, Merlin. Yeah, the governor won't be able to help y'all next week. That's all I'm going to tell you all. The governor won't be able to give y'all an extra day. I hope you're not banking on that. And I truly believe that this week the receivers are going to catch the ball. That's the only gripe I really got with Kansas City, because if they catch the ball, we at least won four of those other games.
Starting point is 00:13:34 So this is the week that we're going to prove O wrong. And, O, if I don't win, I'll come on here with a blueberry, a glass of blueberry. How about it? Okay. And if I don't win, I'm going to bring you. Uh-oh. These.
Starting point is 00:13:59 Ooh. Ooh. I'm killed with that. I'm killed to a thing. I'm going to bring y'all. Oh, oh, oh. That's fire. That's fire. Who's 22 and who's 11, huh?
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, you killed those. Oh, those is hot. Those is hot. In other words, you got. This is what it is, baby. Killed those. I don't know. I don't know who was the best looking.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Tell me y'all. Who was the best looking back then? Those is, that's hot. Who designed those? I'm going to show you who designed them. My daughter-in-law. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:14:49 That's what she calls herself. If anybody else wants to call, it's whatever there. It's Johnny. Put it up higher. I'm giving her a poem. I hope it shows. Does that show? So anyway, that's my daughter-in-law.
Starting point is 00:15:04 You remember she made mine back in the day. She made mine and everything, but she did a good job. She did some research. She got your colors from high school. Oh, man. She got your, you guys were the Rams, huh? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:20 You guys were the Rams. Oh, man. Thank you, man. Okay, O. Thank you so much, man. That's. Oh, man. Thank you, man. Okay, O. Thank you so much, man. That's really dope, man. Thank you, O. And thank your daughter-in-law, too.
Starting point is 00:15:30 She's very creative. Yeah, make sure if y'all want some kicks, make sure. And that's her Instagram? That's her Instagram. If somebody wants some kicks, what do I do with the Instagram? What is that? That's her Twitter? What does it say anyway? Six Feet Mystery.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Okay, got you. She's going to the internet and she does a job. She does a job. Those are tough. Put mine in an Uber if we can't meet up tomorrow or the day after. I will.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I'll probably send it to you this week. Let me know where you at. I'll pull up, man. You know I miss you. I want to come see you. Look, back there next week, and thank you again to your daughter-in-law. Thank you, O, as well. Those are fire. Thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Look, back to next week, I'll say this about next week. This is when we'll see if Patrick Mahomes is Josh Allen kryptonite. This is the first time you have home field advantage. Look, I'm not going to lie to you.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Outside of, you know, it's a few football games that I watch a year. Not games, moments I watch a year. I love watching the highlights of the year that the Patriots came back in the second half and won the Super Bowl against Atlanta. And another highlight that I really love is Patrick Mahomes against Josh Allen. The last two minutes of regular season at overtime when they was going back to back,
Starting point is 00:17:10 slinging the football, touchdown for touchdown, touchdown for touchdown, touchdown for touchdown. And then overtime, Patrick Mahomes got the ball first and Josh Allen didn't get a chance to try and tie or win the game.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And that's probably my second favorite moment of just watching highlights. I know O's seen way much more football than I have and can name a bunch. You're right, he had 13 seconds. He had 13 seconds when they kicked off to him. Right, exactly. And it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I go back and watch that at least two, three times a year. Like, it was amazing. But this is the time to see if Josh Allen could get over to Patrick Mahomes' home. Pause, super pause. And there's no excuse. You have home field advantage.
Starting point is 00:17:54 If it's cold, there's nobody with favoritism for cold. They just played in minus four degrees in Kansas City, so the weather won't be a factor for either team. But if you're asking me, until further notice,
Starting point is 00:18:10 I'm going with Kansas City, which is not Mace's team because he left them. I'm going with the Kansas City Chiefs. It's not your teammates. Everybody knows you. Five weeks ago, you said you're not dealing with them.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Code Cam. He loves them. Code Cam. He's coming home, homie. He's coming home. I just, look, I think it's mental with Patrick Mahomes. Like, for instance, it's a three-way to me, it's a triangle when it comes to these
Starting point is 00:18:42 quarterbacks. When it comes to quarterbacks, Josh Allen cannot beat Patrick Mahomes. Josh Allen cannot beat Joe Burrow. And Patrick Mahomes can't beat Joe Burrow. Even though they all lost one or two games to each other here or there, Joe Burrow has more victories over both of them quarterbacks when they face off. And until further notice, I say that Patrick Mahomes has Josh Allen number. Now, we will see if things change with home field advantage. So whoever wins, I won't be mad at either team. I won't be mad at either team.
Starting point is 00:19:21 If you ask me who I want to win, I really want the Bills to win because I would like to see Josh Allen get past Patrick Mahomes one time. And this is the perfect opportunity to do it. You're not on the road. You're not an arrowhead. You're in Buffalo with Bills Mafia. So you have the perfect
Starting point is 00:19:40 opportunity to do it. They had a great game yesterday with Josh Allen running the ball. opportunity to do it. You know, they had a great game yesterday with Josh Allen running the ball. He had a 52-yard touchdown, which was amazing. And I think that's going to play
Starting point is 00:19:55 a major part in next week's game too. Josh Allen really gets a lot of yards. He's very under- he's not underestimated. We all know that he runs particularly well, but I think that's going to be a big part of next week, how many yards he gets on the ground outside of throwing as well.
Starting point is 00:20:12 So if you ask me, I'm rooting for Buffalo because I just want to see something different, but if until then, the road goes through the Kansas City Chiefs. And I'm going to agree with you on virtually everything you just said.
Starting point is 00:20:27 I want to say this, though. The Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen, he always, he is always leading when he has to leave the field. And that's when Mahomes and them do their thing.
Starting point is 00:20:44 They come back and beat them. But that game that was 13 seconds ago, Josh was leading the game. Josh seems to always be ahead. But unfortunately, the other team gets the ball. And then they work their magic. And that's the name of that team. But listen, also to agree with Mace, the Kansas City Chiefs do
Starting point is 00:21:07 lead the NFL in drop passes with 44. So that's another thing. If we catch the ball, nobody can beat us. Pause. Nobody. This weekend, they were catching the ball. This weekend, they were catching the ball. We're back.
Starting point is 00:21:23 I don't know why Cam is even going through this talking about Buffalo and the Bills, Cam. The man told you out of his own mouth, Paul, that he doesn't think they can win the championship. Why would you win to go on to lose? He's already telling you. He's not here today. We're welcoming him back, but give him
Starting point is 00:21:45 some more time, Cam. Right now is Kansas City time. We got Taylor Swift flag surfing. T-Murda is the name now. It's T-Murda. When she hit that, she's T-Murda. She's not Taylor Swift no more.
Starting point is 00:22:00 T-Murda, okay. I hear you. Listen, T-Murda gonna have to take that shit on the road. I don't know if she ready to take that shit on the road. I don't know if she ready to take that shit on the road in Buffalo. She gotta take that shit on the road in Buffalo. And let me tell you, son, security better be at an all-time high because Buffalo
Starting point is 00:22:15 won't give a fuck about her. She'll get hit with a snowball. Be careful. Make sure y'all protect Taylor Swift at all costs if she goes to Buffalo. We ain't got time for no nonsense because them fans will get critical up there in Buffalo. OJ said, I remember
Starting point is 00:22:31 OJ said, I'm not sure if it was the 49ers or the Buffalo Bills where he was playing. One of them kickers got snuffed at a bar, he said, for missing a field goal. They knocked out a field goal guy, a kicker. Be careful up there in Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:22:47 We're playing them games, man. Buffalo's no joke. They're serious about their football. That's a fact, man. I am really excited to see this game. Like I said, I said what I said. Only thing I'll leave after my last
Starting point is 00:23:04 comment on this is, Mace, they don't care what you say. You're not there no more. They say they don't want you. I don't know. See, Mace, when the show comes on. Yo, yo, Mahomes didn't say that. Mahomes didn't say that.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Mace, I dare you to go up there and win a whole lot of Kansas City. I dare you. My double dog dare you. win a whole lot of Kansas City. I tell you. My double dog dig. Nigga, got to play yourself, nigga.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I can't do it in New York. I can't do it in Buffalo. Anywhere else. I know what Mase going to say. Oh, this is what's going to happen, though. I'm telling you right now. And I don't know who's going to win. And listen, and no disrespect to Buffalo though. I'm telling you right now, and I don't know who's going to win. And listen, and no disrespect to Buffalo because I fuck
Starting point is 00:23:48 with Buffalo. They just near Canada. New York City doesn't really consider Buffalo New York City because they're not New York City. They're New York State. Mason's going to say, I don't go against New York if Buffalo wins. I'm telling you, he already got his backup player.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Just in case. Just in case. Just in case. He already going to say he's from New York. I already know this nigga like a book. He's going to say some type of way it's New York related. And therefore, that's why. He already got players and layers of whoever wins or how it goes, man. Period, man.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I already know this nigga. So let's beware that. I'm calling that out just in case Buffalo does win for next week. Well, also, Mace, you got something to say there? If T-Murda show up, we're going to win. If T-Murda show up, we're going to win. So T-Murda, you got to show up and hit your dance. You got to hit it first half, though. You got to be first half.
Starting point is 00:24:47 So now she's not a distraction. Got it. Wow. Team Murder, I got to get you some shoes, too. I'm going to get you some shoes, too. Got it. Okay. Also looking ahead, the Texans will play
Starting point is 00:25:04 the number one seed, ravens do you think the texans have what it takes to win or do you think the ravens will win whoo the ravens are tough man the ravens are playing good ball they got they got some time off they got some rest i would have to say the ravens are the favorite but that boy cj Strode, them running back Stroud and them running backs. And even that defense, I mean, he's got them boys playing. Ryan's, he's got them boys playing on defense. They're playing great football all over, you know, the field, offense, defensively, everywhere.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But I can't overlook, you know, Lamar. Lamar's Lamar, and they've gotten a lot of rest. They've got a lot of rest. So I'm going to have to kind of go with Baltimore. What I'll say is this, man. There's really some great quarterbacks left in the playoffs with the AFC, man. You know, you got Patrick Mahomes. You got Josh Allen.
Starting point is 00:26:11 You got C.J. Strout. And you got Lamar Jackson. I'm really excited to see these AFC playoff games coming up. Wow. This game is really hard to call. It's really hard to call because O.J. just said it. I don't even need to mark it. O.J. just said it. Baltimore has got a lot of rust. And will that hurt them or help them? Because what's going on with Houston is they're in stride.
Starting point is 00:26:40 They're in motion. They won that game to get into the playoffs. They had a sensational wild card week. Are they in the momentum and Baltimore's been sitting out? Because not just sitting out with the bye, sitting out the game before the bye because they didn't even play. They already was they already had the they already was the number one seed
Starting point is 00:27:00 so they didn't even, they didn't play the bye week. They had the bye week and then they didn't play the week, the last week of the NFL season because they already clinched the bye. So are they going to be rusty? Are they going to be ready to play? Or is Houston going to be in stride because they have the momentum that they've been playing week after week after week? This is going to be a sensational game because also this builds C.J. Strout's confidence up. He's won his first playoff game. He won a sensational game to get into the playoff game.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So it's really two playoff games he had, to be totally honest with you, because if he didn't win that last game of the season, they would have been out. So that's also like a playoff game. Then you go win an actual playoff game, wild card week. This is going to be a great game. This is going to see who's in stride, if it's going to be the Houston Texans
Starting point is 00:27:47 or is this going to prove that Lamar Jackson and John Harbaugh and the crew needed that rest and then they're going to kick ass. I'm really looking forward to this game. I don't have a dog in a fight. If you're telling me putting a gun to my head and say pick a winner, fuck. I got to go with Baltimore just because. But Baltimore, Lamar, you're not listening to me, Mason.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Baltimore doesn't have the best record in the playoffs with Lamar Jackson either. Lamar Jackson doesn't have a great playoff record either. So it's really hard. Like I said, if I had to pick, I'm going with Lamar Jackson just because of his playoff track record. He doesn't want to look bad again. This is a potential MVP of the league.
Starting point is 00:28:37 They lose again his first playoff game. Now he's going to be like, I don't even know. I'll look at his record when you start talking, Mace, but it is on a good record in the playoffs. If Houston wins, look, I'm not mad at that either. They got a black coach. He's from Ohio. Yeah, I know we got Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:28:53 He's from Ohio. Listen, I didn't say that just now. I could have brought that up. I haven't been petty like you. I'm trying to get down to the facts. That's your backup, though. That's your backup. No, no, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Your backup is you're going to say, you know, Ohio had to do what they had to do. Listen, Mace, I'm going, I wouldn't even use that anymore. Right now, we all grown men in the playoffs. If anything else, if anything, as much as I love John Harbaugh, I'm really rooting for a black coach to win as well.
Starting point is 00:29:22 You know, we don't get, black coaches don't get a lot of GM jobs. There's no black owners in the NFL. And for a head coach to get to the next round that's black, I'm rooting for that, man. I definitely am. But I'm also rooting for two black quarterbacks. You know, it's a lot of black shit going on.
Starting point is 00:29:42 You know, that's why I got on black today. It's a lot of black shit going on. You know, that's why I got on black today. It's a lot of black shit going on. And I'm excited about that, man. I really am. So either way, I'm excited to see who wins and who loses. Because think about it. Whoever wins out of the Bills and the Chiefs get to play the winner, the Texans and Baltimore. This is exciting shit,
Starting point is 00:30:06 man. There's no losers as fans moving forward. Lamar Jackson is one and three in the playoffs. Yeah, one and three. He has one playoff win. Baker Mayfield has more than him. Right. So there we go. So that determines anything. I got him being
Starting point is 00:30:22 one and four. I got C.J. Stroud winning the game. I'm mad at that pick. Okay. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers crushed the Eagles 32 to nine. Was this the outcome you expected? Oh, well,
Starting point is 00:30:40 I got to tell you, it was not really the outcome I expected. Not 32, not by as much as it was. I don't know what happened to Baltimore, I mean, to Philly. We all loved Philly at some point this year. I watched most of the game. this year. I watched most of the game.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I guarantee you when this game is over, Hurts is going to go in the hospital and he's going to fix more than his finger. There's something wrong with his legs too, or his hip or something, because I saw him in the first half of that game. It was almost like two years ago when he played. He went back to pass, and he took off running. Went off to pass, and he took off running.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I think he's injured more than we think, and I think the minute the season's over, we're going to see just how injured he has been playing with. how injured he has been playing with. Hey, I got to give, being a Heisman winner, I got to give the other boy a little credit. He played well. But Houston, I mean, but Philly, I don't know what their defense was.
Starting point is 00:32:03 I don't know what their offense was. And as I said, that wasn't the Hearn that played all last year. That was another player. I'll go. Listen, go ahead, Murdo, sorry. Yeah, well, when I think about Philly as a team, they've underachieved the whole year. I mean, playing wise, they never showed up really only to about two games that I per se saw every game. They won just because the ball bounced their way.
Starting point is 00:32:38 For lack of better words, they didn't look good in at least 10 of the games they played this year. They didn't look good in at least 10 of the games they played this year. So it was like I kept saying they're winning, but they're not looking good. But they never got to the place where they started looking good. So once they got to the playoffs, it's that mentality where you think, well, I was there last year. We don't go back. And you got to treasure the times you get there because there's no telling if you'll ever be back there again. And this kind of proved that, especially for him to lose to Mayfield. Mayfield is not a quarterback he should have lost to, just hands down. But I knew a week ago, I said this, this, that. I said, I could see, I could see Tampa Bay beating them if they protect Mayfield,
Starting point is 00:33:26 and they did exactly what I said. I don't remember you saying that. I don't remember you saying that at all. Yeah, that's why they got videotaped. Yeah, I know, and that's why there's no footage of it. This is where I need you to say, Nick, get the tape. This is where I need you to be the cam. Throw that red flag.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Throw that red flag. Throw that red flag. Oh, you know what? I'm going to start keeping red flags here. You're absolutely right. I'm going to start keeping a few red flags in here. You're right. That's what we're going to do. We are absolutely going to keep some red flags here.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I do have no recollection of you saying anything about Tampa Bay productive. None at all. At all, bro. None. You don't remember that? No, but I remember what I said. What did you say? I said that the Bucks were going to beat the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:34:17 That I do have tape. Yeah, we both said that. I don't remember. Neither do you. I did. I'll post it. I'll post it, too. I'll post it. It's crazy. We both You're lying, dude. I'll post it.
Starting point is 00:34:26 It's crazy. We both said that. Yeah, you go next then. Go ahead. I mean, that was really it. I think the Eagles played terribly, and I think this brings a lot of questions to what they're going to do next season.
Starting point is 00:34:35 I think a lot of Eagles fans right now want to fire Nick Sirianni. I don't know if that's the best choice, but they have a lot of rebuilding to do. Jalen Hurts looks like he has no help out there. Everybody looked like they kind of gave up. It was just a bad game. So the Bucs were bound to win when we seen it happening.
Starting point is 00:34:49 That's all I got, really. Yo, Nick. Nick. You remember any of this shit? Yeah, man. I don't remember neither. Nick Saban is out of it, killer. Nick Saban is out of it.
Starting point is 00:35:00 We're not talking to Nick Saban right now. Nick don't got shit to lie about. Nick don't got shit to lie about. Me and Nick don't remember none of this shit, man. This is wild. The Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, Miami. Y'all think that Florida shit. Y'all niggas is wild.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Listen, man. All right. Check it. What I will agree with Mace is this, is that we've both been saying he's absolutely right. Philly all year has been close games. Even when they was winning, it was close games, close games, close games. And we say, they could have lost that game. And we kept saying, maybe they'll hit a switch midseason, towards the end of the season, end of the season.
Starting point is 00:35:39 We're like, yo, and then they started losing. We're like, yo, maybe they'll turn it on for the playoffs because of what they did last year. But at the end of the day, I can't lie. I do remember both of us saying, Mace, that Philly has not been it because they started off like 7-0, 8-0, 9-0, whatever it was. And we're like, these are really, really close games. These games could have went either way. So I was thinking to myself, maybe they will hit a switch,
Starting point is 00:36:03 which they never did. Julio Jones, he ended up getting a concussion. So one of their main receivers was out. But that's still no excuse for how they played all the way around. Baker Mayfield, and Tito was telling me about it,
Starting point is 00:36:19 we was talking about it, is that he may have secured a back. We haven't paid a lot of attention to Tampa Bay because Tom Brady isn't there, and they're not having the best of best seasons. You know, that division sucked. So them getting to the playoffs was almost a foregone conclusion. But from his numbers this year, from last year,
Starting point is 00:36:41 he was only about, what was it, 600 yards? 600 yards shorter than Tom Brady passing yards this year from last year, he was only about, what was it, 600 yards? 600 yards shorter than Tom Brady passing yards this year. So shout out to Baker Mayfield. It's a long way from where you started being the number one pick. And, you know, you ain't that nigga you was in college, so don't get ahead of yourself, nigga. You had a good playoff game and all that. But he might have secured a bag,
Starting point is 00:37:05 and this was definitely a great win for them. What happens next week? We'll see what happens, man. But speaking of next week, and I don't see this on our topics for the day, but I want to say something about this before we have to move on and go to break. Yeah, you were shitting on the Lions,
Starting point is 00:37:29 wasn't you, Uncle O? Yeah, what about the Lions? You were shitting on them. Jared Goff. Yeah, when Jared Goff, we all know what he's going to do when he gets to the playoffs. When he gets to the playoffs,
Starting point is 00:37:40 what happens? Yeah, what happens when they get to the playoffs? It don't matter because we all going to see what he going to do. Yeah. We're going to see what he going to do. We don't even need to talk about the lions because when they get to the playoffs, it doesn't even matter.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So I don't know why we talking about the lions. What's up? What's up fam? What happened? I don't even need a red flag on that. You just throw the red flag on me. I want to, when you get, I'm sure it's on your schedule. You got to talk about
Starting point is 00:38:06 them celebrity cowboys oh yeah yeah we talk about them next after the break oh yeah I just want to make sure we talk about them celebrity cowboys
Starting point is 00:38:14 yeah I just didn't know what you felt somebody out there like the cowboys yeah the 85 beds yeah
Starting point is 00:38:21 the 85 beds I hope you didn't yeah we definitely going to throw we going to throw we going to throw a red flag week two where Uncle O said that they the 85 bears in week two of the season. Oh, Scott said they played as well there.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And they were playing as well as at that time as the 85 bears. Their defense was everybody all season. We got to get ready. We got to get ready. We got to get ready. We got to get Ray going to break. Do you have anything to say about the Lions before we go to break, Uncle O? At this point, I was wrong about the Lions. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:57 They got a tough coach. Yeah. And I think I underestimated him. Okay. So that's still not an apology. Yeah, they said put some respect on Detroit. Yo, O said I – We still got more playoff games to play.
Starting point is 00:39:14 Okay, say no more. But your exact words was it ain't going to matter when the playoffs count. I feel you, though, because I – Oh, listen, I don't be apologizing either. I said what I said. I just ain't know if you was ready to take it there for an apology yesterday. No, hey. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:30 They did what they did. They pulled that game out. I didn't think they would, and they did. So I love the coach. He's a tough dude, man. And I just underestimated that he can get those balls, those guys to play on the level that he's got them to play on. He's got those guys playing some tough football.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Yeah, definitely. Well, quick fun fact about the Eagles versus Bucks game, because I thought it was pretty cool. So USC head coach Lincoln Riley actually coached both Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts. So he was actually in attendance at the game and got to watch two quarterbacks, you know, face off in a playoff game. So that was pretty dope.
Starting point is 00:40:07 But we're going to go to break. When we return, we will discuss early Super Bowl predictions, and then we'll get into the Cowboys. Don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. four years and counting got you feeling like an option maybe i'm my own problem baby she's out of here and i don't know what's happening in me won't fall oh oh dealing with this thing called trust but she really thinking about it. She want to be free. Welcome back.
Starting point is 00:40:51 So let's get into our underdog fantasy picks of the day. On Saturday, the Packers will play the 49ers. Jordan Love is at 247 and a half passing yards. Do you have him higher or lower camp? I'm going higher. He's in the groove, man. Listen, he did that on a really good defense last day before yesterday.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Cowboys caught an OJ at one point in time with an 85 bear, so for him to have that sensational game against the Cowboys, I'm going to go higher next week against OJ's San Francisco 49ers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah. I'm going higher as well. Okay. Brock Purdy is at two passing touchdowns. Do you have him higher or lower, Mace? Higher. I think it's going to be a great game. That's a good question because Brock Purdy's been looking shook
Starting point is 00:41:48 the last few games I've been seeing him, man. I don't care. I was leaning to the camera. He's been looking shook, man. I don't really know. This is a tough call, man. He got to show up on this one, though, killer. This is the one he got to show up on.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Listen, I usually would say higher, but, you know, he won so many games that he got to show up. Listen, I usually would say higher, but you know, he won so many games that he got shaken up. Then they had to sit him down and bench him for two minutes because he was, you know, calm down, we're going to save you for the playoffs. He was shaken up. I don't know if you remember murders a few weeks ago because they got the
Starting point is 00:42:17 bye weekend or that. They had to put his ass on the bench and like, yo, relax because they fucked him up. So I want to, I i'm gonna go higher because i'm i think they may have put him in therapy and got his brain back where it need to be but he was shell-shocked for two weeks you know he's been shell-shocked and you know he was shell-shocked and you know another thing when we talk about now no matter of fact oh wasn't here how we always talk about oh they don't lose
Starting point is 00:42:45 when everybody there when Kittles is there and Debo is there and Brock Purdy is playing and McCaffrey McCaffrey is playing there's no way they got they got spanked a couple times with the whole crew there whole crew was there they got spanked
Starting point is 00:43:02 now I'm gonna give Purdy the benefit of the doubt and go higher. But shit, shit, man. God damn, man. That boy was hurt. That nigga, he didn't know what to do because he'd never been in a position like this. Mace is kind of like what you said. When, you know, he's won so much that when it's time for him to lose it,
Starting point is 00:43:23 he didn't know what to do. Like when you said with Errol Spence and Terrence Crawford, when you was like, you never seen Errol Spence hurt. So when he's hurt, we don't know what's going to happen. And we've seen what happened once he got hurt. That was Brock Purdy's face. Them last two games. So hopefully he got it back.
Starting point is 00:43:41 But listen, I'm going to go higher just because he had a couple of weeks. If it was back to back, I would have went lower. I'm going to go higher because I think they got his brain back right. But his brain was fucked up a few weeks, man. Right. And Christian McCaffrey is at 33 and a half receiving yards.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Do you have him higher or lower camp? I got to go higher if I say Brock Purdy for some touchdowns. But, you know, listen, man. It seemed like them last two games, niggas kind of figured the 49ers out, man. They figured them out. Because remember, they was looking invisible when everybody was playing. Then they got spanked.
Starting point is 00:44:22 I'm going to go higher, though. I think that the rest helped the 49ers as opposed to maybe not helping Baltimore. So I'm going to go higher. And then Mace. Just to cover,
Starting point is 00:44:36 cover, cover the best pause, I'm going to just say lower. Okay. You know, you might lose on one, win on the other. Also, look,
Starting point is 00:44:45 if you want to go to Underdog Fantasy and use Code Cam, we only got a couple weeks left for the Super Bowl. So far, six people are going to the Super Bowl
Starting point is 00:44:54 using my code. You know, they'll double up what you put up, up to $100. Go to Underdog Fantasy, download the app, and also subscribe
Starting point is 00:45:03 to It Is What It Is, the show. I should just click it. Why wouldn't you subscribe? So make sure y'all go do that, man. Definitely. Okay, so based off the performance of the team so far, what's your early Super Bowl prediction?
Starting point is 00:45:22 Me? Sure, OJ, you can go first first you know i'm talking 49ers i i'm thinking the 49ers got rest as cam said right when they needed it you know sometimes you get rest early in the season fourth game you get a vibe that doesn't do you any good this bye came at the right time this well this you know playoff uh bye has come at the right time for the 49ers and uh i still think they're the most talented team can i can i can i interrupt you real quick real quick i want you to pick up where you left off oh i want you to pick up there, but I want to ask you one question real, real quick. Would your prediction, I'm just guessing, happen to be the Bills versus the 49ers?
Starting point is 00:46:14 Would that just happen to be your prediction for the Super Bowl? I've always wanted that. I prayed for it my whole adult life. It seems I prayed that those two teams will play each other. I prayed the other day that they both make it. I don't know if they will, but I do think the Buffalo Bills, I mean, I do think the 49ers will make it. Well, who's your team?
Starting point is 00:46:45 It's a Super Bowl prediction. Who's your team in the AFC? Well, it's the 49ers on one side. So I'm thinking the Niners. I truly think that this bye came at the absolute best time for them. You were talking about byes a minute ago and getting rest.
Starting point is 00:47:02 I think this is the perfect time for them to be able to get getting rest. I think this is the perfect time for them to be able to get some rest. But, oh, we got you on 49ers. Who's your team in the AFC to go to the Super Bowl? Well, I'm going to pick the Bills only because I am a bluff little Bill.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I mean, come on. I'm going to pick the Bills. You say, the bird is going to what was that city you call? Title Town. Title Town call? Tidal Town. Yeah, Tidal Town, my ass. Yeah, Tidal Town, my ass. But I'm taking, of course, I'm going for the Niners. I'm praying for the Niners and the Bills.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Okay. You know, the Lord might hear me this time. My prediction. My prediction. this time. My prediction... My prediction... Listen, my prediction is
Starting point is 00:47:50 the Detroit Lions versus the Ravens. Against the Ravens, man. Against the Ravens. And if it's not the Ravens, I'm going to say the Texans. I think this year the Bills and or Patrick Mahomes go home. It's time for some new blood out there in the AFC, baby. Y'all, both teams at the top, the Bills and the fake Kansas City
Starting point is 00:48:20 at the top of the screen are going home this year. Young blood in the building. Why would y'all call us fake? OJ does the same thing. If his team loses, he gives you this whole explanation about how he liked the other team and what they were doing great
Starting point is 00:48:37 and you got to understand this and he gave you the whole history of who he used to golf with. So how could do all mine. Are you picked? I want to hear your title town and who else. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I think what Killer said, I think if it's not Kansas City, if you take Kansas City out of it, I'm going with the Lions versus the Ravens, and I believe the Ravens win it all because they're pretty much the only team that can pass, run, play defense, do it all. Can I go back and put some ifs in mine? Can I go back and put two or three Ifs is crazy
Starting point is 00:49:34 Get your two or three ifs off But Mace Mace hold on Who's the two teams hold on Who's the two teams you said Who's the two teams you said If Kansas City is out, the Ravens and who? The Ravens and the Lions Okay Cam, it's in my notes, Cam
Starting point is 00:50:00 Look, I want you to see I need you to see, that was in my you to see that was in my notes look that was in my notes you see it no I don't that was in my notes right you sure those are your notes
Starting point is 00:50:16 and not somebody else's that's the question Let's get the forensic I was trying to let you recover I was trying to let you recover But yeah That's what I had That's what I had
Starting point is 00:50:36 But it's good that y'all saw it in my notes So y'all know That's what I came to say My guess I'm just going to go off on a whim. I'm going to say maybe the Packers beat the 49ers, and it's going to be the Packers versus the Ravens. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I'm just putting that out there because they've surprised me a lot this season, so I'm not going to give up on them yet, but we'll see what happens. I'm not going to lie. One thing for sure, two things for certain. Joy and love the last six weeks of the season has been looking just as good as any quarterback in the league. I was calling it about week 12, week 13. I'm like, yo, is this nigga Jordan Love looking really, really good?
Starting point is 00:51:16 And I don't know. I'll have to look at the stats. I heard a few people talking about it. But he's ahead of where Aaron Rodgers was at this point in his career and Brett Favre, what they were talking about. So let's not just put the 49ers in the next round yet, man. They got a tall task ahead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:34 And I want y'all to make sure y'all got me on the record. This is just if it's not the Chiefs, because I don't want y'all to be acting crazy when the Chiefs beat the Bills. Like OJ said, if we could all get two three-iffs, then every team would be in it. If we all could get two or three-iffs, brother. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Okay. Looking back at the Cowboys' 48-32 loss to the Packers, you feel some type of way about the Cowboys. Dak is 2- five in the playoffs. So what's your general opinion on Dak Prescott? Well, my opinion on Dak is the same as it is on the Cowboys. The Cowboys are celebrities. I guarantee you this week before this game was played,
Starting point is 00:52:21 every restaurant they went into, somebody paid for their meal. Somebody bought them drinks. Everybody want to know what they're wearing to the game and what they're going to wear after the game, what car they're driving. And they act like celebrities. And they've done it every year. They act like they're celebrities and they play like celebrities. And that's how I see the Cowboys.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I think Stephen A got it down. Once they get in the playoffs, you know, what are they wearing after the game? You know, what clothes are they taking to the game? And I guarantee you they're not paying for any meals or any drinks during the game. And I guarantee you they're not paying for any meals or any drinks during the week. People are treating them like the Dallas celebrities.
Starting point is 00:53:10 And they're playing like the Dallas celebrities. OJ, this is what I realized. Just so you know, I've been studying a little bit. I think the issues with the Cowboys is they needed Zeke Elliott for this game.
Starting point is 00:53:26 They didn't have a running back. He would have helped. He would have helped. I agree with that. He would have helped. They didn't have any, you know, smash mouth guys. And they could have used him in those smash mouth situations. and they could have used him in those smash mouth situations.
Starting point is 00:53:49 But I just think in general, they're treated like celebrities, they act like celebrities, and they end up playing like celebrities. Yeah. Let me ask you a question real quick before I say what I have to say. Did you ever hear about this White House in the 90s that Michael Irvin and all the guys that was on cocaine for the Dallas Cowboys? We used to call it all us players. I'm just saying this. And I'm not getting on no cowboy.
Starting point is 00:54:19 I'm just saying in the league, when they were calling it America's team, we were calling it South America's team. Colombia, Bolivia. Yeah, that pure cocaine. Yeah. That's the honest to God truth. Yeah, South America's team. I'm not getting on anybody now,
Starting point is 00:54:38 but that's what guys in the league was calling them. So do you know about this White House thing? We just learned about this thing. Jermaine Dupri was on the show, and I know they was sniffing coke. And this is what I recommended to Jerry Jones, and people think I'm joking. Get cocaine back in that locker room.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Like, look, man, if you guys want to win a Super Bowl, y'all need to get some. You got to get cocaine back in that locker room, Jerry Jones. Look, I'm telling you straight up and down. Look, I'm going to be honest with you. I'm not the biggest baseball fan in the world, but I did used to watch a little bit when steroids was involved. Niggas smacking homers everywhere. You out there in the Bay, Barry Barnes
Starting point is 00:55:29 hitting shit out the sky. I know his head got bigger. His palsy couldn't put his hat on his head. A-Rod fucking smacking homers everywhere. That's when I wanted to watch. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. I want to hear what Jerry said. Yeah, yeah. So I was saying that, you know, even like soccer, exactly. I want to hear what Jerry said. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:45 So I was saying that, you know, even like soccer, I like soccer a lot, but I don't want to watch a fucking five-hour game and it be 1-0. Same thing in baseball, 1-0. Give them niggas steroids so it can at least be 8-7. Niggas was smacking homers when them steroids was in. Killing them. Go back and check the records. Now back to Jubby Jones.
Starting point is 00:56:07 The last time the Cowboys won, mad cocaine was involved. Oh, Michael Irvin. Man, listen. Michael Irvin, cocaine out his mind. I wish I could pull up a video of Michael Irvin, what he said yesterday after the loss. Don't pull up no thing.
Starting point is 00:56:27 No. Don't pull up nothing. No, Michael, my man. My man. No, Michael Irvin's my friend. Hey, look, you already got us agreeing with us on what it was like back then, but you know.
Starting point is 00:56:42 But what I'm saying is this. Did you hear about this? Okay, I'll get back to my original question. We call them South America's team. That's what we all call them. He's called them America's team. We call them South America's team.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Do you think they will win without cocaine? You can't answer that Hey sweetheart That's your question Let's see how many guys Are following you then Coach is not answering we're going to the next question
Starting point is 00:57:26 we can't win without it yo listen listen let me tell you something when you don't answer you answer because all you got the only thing you got to do
Starting point is 00:57:35 is say Cam don't be ridiculous you know damn well they can win without you can win without cocaine I told you what we called them back then that tells the story.
Starting point is 00:57:45 But what I'm saying is this, oh, they won Super Bowls when they were South America's team. Now they're North America's team and they won't win a Super Bowl. Do they need to become South America's team again? Killer, he went like this. I don't know. You talk to them. You talk to them. You ain't talking to me.
Starting point is 00:58:05 This is what I'll say. All right, we'll get off of that for a minute. What do you think is going to happen? Do you think that they're going to get rid of the coach? I said on the record yesterday that Bill Belichick will be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys next season. What do you think is going to happen with the team moving forward? It'll be the best thing they could do.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Bring in a no-nonsense guy like him. Let Jerry, let him coach the team. It'll be the best thing the Cowboys could do. I'm going to have to agree with O. I think personally, I don't know this for a fact. If I was Bill Belichick, I would take the job.
Starting point is 00:58:55 You already have a decent quarterback in play. You got a decent defense. Your counterparts have not been doing well without you. Talking about Josh McDaniels, Patricia. When they go off on their own, they can't do shit as head coaches by themselves. Go round up the old crew, take them to Dallas, and you already have a great team in place to have a better chance to win a Super Bowl than they've been having previous years.
Starting point is 00:59:24 That's what I would do if I was Jerry Jones and Bill Belichick and Josh Daniels and Mike Patricia. Belichick ain't going to lose with those guys. No, not with that talent. He would not lose with it. So this actually segues into our next question because not only is Belichick, there's a rumor that he might place McCarthy.
Starting point is 00:59:44 There's also saying that he met with the Falcons for a head coach job so which team do you think would be a better fit for him? That's tough a fit. I don't you know look despite last night
Starting point is 00:59:59 I don't see I'm screwed up because I'm thinking about a different quarterback right now. I know this. If you ask me, Belichick could take the talent that the Cowboys have to the Super Bowl in the shortest amount of time than it would if he, you know, if he took over Atlanta. You said Atlanta, right? Mm-hmm. Then if he took over Atlanta. I don't think it would take long for the Cowboys to go to Super Bowl
Starting point is 01:00:37 if Belichick was in charge. You know what's crazy? Right now as we speak It's funny As we speak Right this very second We had Jermaine Dupri On the show Last week
Starting point is 01:00:51 And he was saying How Belichick Is gonna go to the Falcons And he's texting me It's funny Like As we speak He didn't know
Starting point is 01:00:58 We was gonna be talking About this topic He just sent me Belichick Met with Falcons For head coach job. He like, I told y'all niggas, JD, okay JD, you called it.
Starting point is 01:01:10 They met up. We're talking about where Belichick is going now and it's crazy. He's actually texting me right now. Look, you asked me my personal opinion. I'm not turning down. And listen, it's a lot of pressure year after year after year, no matter who the head coach is, no matter year after year after year, no matter who the head coaches,
Starting point is 01:01:26 no matter who the running back is, no matter who the quarterback is. Being a Dallas Cowboy on any level, ownership, management, players, it's a lot of pressure. But if you're asking me what team is better suited for Bill Belichick
Starting point is 01:01:42 right this very second, it's the Dallas Cowboys. Everything is ready to go. Everything. You got C.J. Lamb. You got a decent quarterback, top five quarterback statistically. You got a great ownership
Starting point is 01:01:54 that's passionate about winning. Is he a little overbearing? Yeah, he could be a little overbearing. That's because he wants to win. You got a decent defense. That is, the plate is laid out for Bill Belichick to win right You got a decent defense. That is the plate is laid out for Bill Belichick to
Starting point is 01:02:07 win right now in Dallas. And I think with Bill Belichick there, it won't be as big a joke when the season starts. Like when the season starts and these delusional Cowboy fans be like, oh, we're going to win the Super Bowl this year. We're going to win the Super Bowl this year. Oh my God, we're going to win the Super Bowl. Everybody just laughs.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Cowboy fans, like look at them. Look at these guys. They're so cute. They're going to win the Super Bowl this year. Oh, my God, we're going to win the Super Bowl. Everybody just laughs. It was the Cowboys fans. Like, look at them. Look at these guys. They're so cute. They think they're going to win the Super Bowl again. It's been 32 years. Look at them. Look at them. Look at them.
Starting point is 01:02:33 They really think they're going to win. I think with Bill Belichick as head coach coming into the season, you're not going to laugh like you laugh. You might be like, maybe, maybe. So that's just my opinion. You might be like, maybe, maybe. So that's just my opinion. If you're asking which team I think Belichick should go to out of Atlanta or Cowboys, I know it's a lot of head coach vacancies. Well, I'm going to tell you, every player in this league would tell you
Starting point is 01:03:00 that Tom Brady picked the best team for himself when he went down to Orlando. That team was ready. All they needed was him. That team was ready. All they needed was the quarterback, Tampa. And he went down there and he made it happen. I feel the same way about the Dallas
Starting point is 01:03:27 Cowboys and Belichick. Everything is there for him. Everything is there waiting for him. Good take. Okay, so we spoke about this previously, but OJ, we definitely want your opinion on this. So Miami had a difficult game this past weekend, losing to the Chiefs 26-7. How did you feel about Miami's loss and then how do you feel about miami's loss and then how do you feel about them for next season do you feel like they're a strong team they are strong team they they they got talent they they got speed more than anything uh um i think they gotta uh pick up the defense a little bit uh Maybe the defensive line a little bit, but they are a talented team,
Starting point is 01:04:08 you know? Nobody that I knew thought the quarterback would finish this season. I know I didn't think he would finish this season, you know, but he did. And offensively, they got all the talent in the world. They can run the ball.
Starting point is 01:04:26 They throw the ball. Now, this offseason, the coach could just focus on the defense, trying to get that defensive line and those linebackers together. So it's kind of a, you know, they got to, they don't have a whole lot to do to be a Super Bowl caliber team. They don't have a whole lot to do to be a Super Bowl caliber team. Another team. Another team.
Starting point is 01:04:54 I agree with OJ. We definitely were scared for Tua this season after the concussions and everything that went on with him last year. So I think it's a victory. A big shout out to Tua just for getting through the season, man. And having a tremendous season as well. Not just getting through the season, having a tremendous season. I think one, I can't remember, week three or four, whichever week it was, they scored 70 points.
Starting point is 01:05:17 It was really a great season for the Miami Dolphins. But look, that doesn't get it. That doesn't cut it, man, that doesn't get it. That doesn't cut it, man. It doesn't cut it. Pay Tyreek O'Hill all that money. Two is supposed to be that nigga. And you lose again in the first round of the playoffs. It just
Starting point is 01:05:36 doesn't cut the cake, man. And as far as anything else is concerned, I think bigger than anything, you got to think about this as far as Miami's concerned and being an AFC team. You got Kansas City, you got Baltimore, and you got Buffalo. And I'm just naming the creme de la creme of the AFC right now at the point. You have to go play in the cold in the off season. I don't know where it's going to be
Starting point is 01:06:04 cold in the off season. Maybe y'all where it's going to be cold in the offseason. Maybe y'all niggas need to freeze your practice stadium out or anything else. But Tua never played in less than 46 degrees. And if you tell me that didn't play a factor, then you're lying. These guys live in Miami. I have a place in Miami.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Uncle O got a place in Fort Lauderdale. It's 80 degrees all year round. We start pulling out big jackets when it's 66, 70 degrees. We're not used to that shit. I roll the window now, niggas be like, yo, roll the window up.
Starting point is 01:06:33 It's 72 degrees. Niggas, it's freezing. So at the end of the day, that team needs to get adjusted to playing in the cold because the creme de la creme of that division or that conference, pardon me, is all cold weather in December, January,
Starting point is 01:06:50 and hopefully if you ever make it to February, the shit starts in November. So if you're going to go to Buffalo and play, if you're going to go to Kansas City and play, if you're going to go to Baltimore and play, you have to get used to playing in cold weather. Tuan was the first time they, was all shell-shocked. It was minus 4 degrees and the wind chill made it feel
Starting point is 01:07:09 minus 23 degrees. They said, what the fuck is going on? Gooney Google. So listen, that's the way it is. They got to get used to that, man. Until then, I don't know if they're going to be able to win anything not being able to play in cold weather unless they win
Starting point is 01:07:24 out the whole conference and get by as the playoffs go through Miami. That's the only way I can see them getting advanced into the conference championship or let alone the Super Bowl. They're not going to win on the road in cold weather. I think he had an excuse.
Starting point is 01:07:44 He lost the title time. What else should you expect? They wasn't going to beat them. I think when had an excuse. He lost the title time. What else do you expect? They wasn't going to beat them. I think when he goes back and talks to the coaches and everybody else, if they would have lost to somebody else, it would be even more disrespectful. But when you lose to the champs, I don't think his ass is disappointed. That's just me.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Hey, they went undefeated. That's all I know. I'll talk to them, I went undefeated. That's all I know. Hmm. I'll talk to him, Mo. Talk to him. Tell him. And before we wrap, who do you guys predict
Starting point is 01:08:12 will win MVP? I got Lamar Jackson. I do, too. Again, that was in my notes. Lamar Jackson. Right now, if. If. If, but I got Lamar Jackson.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Keep going, O. Emphasis on if. Okay. Y'all, O, it was great seeing you, man. I'm going to call you. Hey, man, good being back. I'll call you tomorrow. I'll pull up on you if you come outside.
Starting point is 01:08:45 If not, I'll definitely talk to you no matter what, but I know the fans have been missing you, and we're really happy to have you back this week, and look forward to next week talking to you with everybody on It Is What It Is, man.

Oh, they looked about 28, 29 years old. I was not worried about them. That is not my choice.
