The NFL announced today that over $542 million will be given to NFL players and performance-based pay following the 2025 season. The performance-based pay's program is collectively bargaining benefit that compensates all players based on playing time and salary levels.

Quarterback Nashan Wright led the way $1.4 million in performance-based play. Ronnie Hickman, $1.3 million. offensive tackle who was just he was with Atlanta last year I think he was with Arizona now Elijah Wilkinson that's $1.3 million they topped the list

as you can see the list right there in front of you so a lot of these guys are probably lower round picks Ocho well I mean on bargain contracts and they play a line they play in 75, 80, 90% of the snaps

and this is what you get that's a good thing too Because most of the guys that are getting these incentives, they probably don't have big salaries, huh? Not yet. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, so this is big. This is big for them. You look at Ronnie Hickman, undrafted free agent.

Elijah Alexander, undrafted free agent. Nick Scott, seventh round, seventh round, seventh round, seventh round, seventh round, undrafted free agent, fourth round, fourth round, fourth round, third round. Devin White was a first round pick, but that was in 2019. So he's not playing on a big contract. Right. Excuse me, chat. So if you look at the guys, there are, there's only one guy that's in the top 15 that made that was a first round draft pick.

Everybody else was between third round and an undrafted free agent. That's a good little money. That's a good little money right there. Oh, yeah. I think that came in like when I was like my last two years, Ocho, you know, I got a quick little hunter's a little hunt or something. Wait, hold on. Wait, you got a quick, you got your incentives? Yeah.

This, this, this. Okay. Because I went, you know, I went back on a minimum contract. Okay. I just wanted to go back. I didn't want to, I didn't want to start. I didn't want to go to the Raiders. I didn't want to go to Seattle.

That's too far. My kids were young. That was 2002. Yeah. So my kids had been 10 and 11, and they're going to be traveling from Atlanta. And they have my mom, my mom would have to fly down from Chicago, pick the kids up, my sister had to be. I say, nah.

It's too much. It's too much. Yeah. My girlfriend could, you know, fly down one stop, go pick them up, you know. Nah, I had to think about the kids there. It wasn't about me making it. Yeah, I could have made a little bit more money. But, Ocho, forget being a pro bowl.

I'm trying to make the top 25 base team. I mean, if you made the Pro Bowl, who, look at this. Man. What happened? What happened? What happened? I'm just looking at this money. They joke, these yokely making, Ocho.

One point one on top of your contract? Who at the top? Uh, Nishon right? He made 1.4. Okay. Ronnie Hickman made almost 1.3. Elijah Wilkinson almost 1.3. Yeah.

A lot of seventh round draft picks in that thing. And undrafted, yeah. There were, uh, what? Two, there were three undrafted free agents. Uh, three seventh round draft picks. And most of the other guys of the top 15 were third or fourth round picks. Like I said, only Devin White was a first round draft pick. And that was way back in 2019.

So obviously he's not on that, that type of a. contract currently, probably played on a minimum contract or slightly above minimum and plus incentives. If he led the team in tackles, if he top five, top, you know, led the league in tackles or tackle for loss or things of that nature. But congratulations, guys. Hey, now it's like, hey, Nashire Wright going to get paid though. He's going to get a big contract. Oh, yeah. He played, he played his tail lock. He's nice. Hey, we, um, you know what, now that we on, uh, I'm, I want to interject real quick. Now that we're on the topic of football, right?

Yes. I have a question. The next topic is still football or are we going on to something else? No, we're still talking football. Okay. Just in between real quick. Hey, chat, I need you to do me a favor. I need y'all to clip what I'm getting ready to say.

My wide receiver workshop is coming up, right, Un? Yes. I had all the young bulls last year. We're doing it in April because we don't want to interfere with, obviously, their vacation time and obviously World Cup is going to be here so ain't no telling where people going to be and I need you receivers I need you people in the chat if you can clip this at some point and make sure send it to them I'm going to send them their own formal invite but I need him at the wide receiver workshop Jamar Chase and T Higgins they were here last year jason was here

last year tarreek hill depending on where you at I need you cordless sudden Jerry Judy jaden Reed tankdale Elijah Moore, C.D. Lamb, I don't bother you much. Come on home. Amman Ross St. Brown. Justin Jefferson, Malik neighbors. I'm not sure how rehab is going. Please, please. It'd be an honor to have you come down with the fellas, man. Chris Godwin, Chris Olave. Mike Evans, if you're on the West Coast, I will fly you back to the East Coast. Your presence is needed. Nico Collins, please. Jalen Water, you right down the street. Ain't no excuses. AJ Brown, Brian Thomas Jr. Devante Smith. George Pickens.

Let's finish that conversation in person, please. Pooka Nakua, Zay Flowers, you already here at home. Mike Wilson, Kiann, Coleman, Luther Burden, Romoomze, Xavier Leggett. If there's anybody that I left off this list of receivers that would like it, my Y Receive Workshop this year, you are welcome. I can't say everybody's name, but please, I beg of you. Let's get together. If you're receiving that you want to get better, go down to Ocho's Workshop.

Come on. that, please. That's just a list of names off the top of my head that I wrote down. And I look forward to seeing all your boys. The formal invite, I'm going to send out to your agents. I know y'all got a lot of moving parts and moving pieces, but I look forward to seeing all y'all there. Something that salary cap should take state tax into account. This sparks comes from the trade that defensive tackle Osi Ose de Gizua from the Cowboys in Texas, where there's no state income tax. And he was traded to the 49ers in California, where they have the highest state income tax.

So you go from zero to 13.3%. The real question is whether teams should get more to spend, given there's more of what's paid, it end up being taken off the state government. The numbers are significant. The salary cap in 2026 is $301 million.2. So the Rams, charges, and 49ers, with a 13% bump, would push the cap to 341.

point two. So in other words, so if you look at that, if you were to bump it down, so because the state taxes, that's 13%. So if you make $30 million, your contract is $30 million

in the state of California, I'm going to say I'm taking 13.3% before you even see it. Ooh. That's state. So now when we kick that federal in there, which is 36%, so they split your money,

50, 50. So you're making $30 million, you're making $15 million. Oh, that's nasty work, boy. That's nasty work. Boy, that West Coast, if you play in New York, I think New York is like that too, huh? Yeah, I think New York, New Jersey, they're around 10%. You know, there's some states that's obviously a little higher than others.

But if you want to play in Florida, you want to play in Texas, Ohio, Tennessee, where there's no state income tax. Nevada, there's no state. Arizona, I think it's like 2%. But then, you know, you know. you know, most of the states are somewhere, anywhere between, you know, five, just say five in, like it's California, 13.3. Woo.

And then California is trying to, trying to even bump it up and a higher. And for what? What am I getting for that? Crime is still bad. Homelessness. Oh, excuse me. You can't say homelessness. The unhoused problem is still extremely bad.

Oh, so I got, we got to be correct. Because people be kind of calling it and try to get us, try to get us. council. The unhoused community is getting out of control. So we're going to be politically correct because we know y'all be clipping stuff and then y'all try to spin it. So this is what we're going to do. We're going to speak in only political correct terms so we can avoid this foolishness. So the unhoused or the physical limited, which means the disabled community, that's what we're going to do moving forward. Okay. Okay. No, you cannot say homelessness. You have to say,

unhoused. Hey, I, I never knew that, huh? Well, you know it now. I do. Because trust me, I got people in my air constantly, constantly reminding. Shannon, this is what you can say. Shannon, this is what you can't say. Right, okay. So.

I mean, we don't, we don't touch those topics too often, so. Yeah, I mean, but, you know, we, we just be talking like, okay, home, I mean, you know, so we use the term unhoused, you know, we talk to different, I talked to different, different demographics. I said, okay, what is acceptable? What is it acceptable? Had a conversation with Brad Williams, who's a, a little person. Little person is correct. Also dwarf. You can't say the M word. Right. He said, is that offensive? Dwarf, that is acceptable, huh? Is that offensive?

Yes, if you say the M word, it is offensive to them. That's crazy. I mean, I, okay, all right, I'm going to leave that alone. So we just we just we try to be as acceptable as we possibly can because, you know, like I said, Ocho, you'd be surprised that we'd be talking and I get off, if people don't clip some of the things that I've said or what you said and already got it posted.

Yeah. Well, you know, I'm, I've always had an unfiltered mouth. I've been this way since 1978. So normally when I say something, it's like, oh, that's Ocho. Okay, next. Yeah. You're, you're, you're, yeah. You're more polished in that area.

And in some of the words you choose to use, I just been a potty mouth all my life. Well, I think the thing is that you have to understand like, okay, when you're in the, even when I'm in the barbershop, I don't know if I'm being recorded. So I always use politically correct terms. Damn, they be recording the barbers. You know what, aunt? You know, you know, you know what? I thought about they got them glasses.

What's the glasses called? The meta. Yeah, man. Hey, yeah. I mean, you got to watch out for the meta glasses, on? Yep. Yep, you do. So, that's, so you just, chat, just be careful.

Yeah, they look in. Ocho, yo. Travis A. Chan, Jr., spoke to reporters on how to pronounce his last name. They were calling him ATN at Clemson, but it's Travis A.C.N. Jr. Take a listen to what he had to say. Okay. So it, growing up,

Travis A-Chann. So it would be like A-C-H-A-N. And that's how you always said, Travis A-C-N. But when I went to college, I kept telling them my name, like, every day,

every day, every day, every day. And, like, I was like four weeks. They just couldn't get it. So I'm like, man, it's E-T-N.

Like, how you see it, it's how you said. So, and that's how that's how that became. And it kind of took off because it was easy for the pronouncers to say it,

I didn't have to just tell them, I didn't have to correct. them every day to say my name. And just when I kind of just started learning more about my last name and how it came about and things like that, it just kind of stuck in and made sense. But I'm very much open to being Travis A-chan again, just being myself, I don't have to correct people here on how to say my name each and every day. And I kind of love that.

And that's just get back to me. Wait a minute. So it's not Travis A-T-N? Nope. It's A-chan. Because remember we had A-chan from the Dolphins on, and we asked him and say, what's the correct pronunciation? It's like Jackie Chan. Yes.

It's A-chan. So it's the same thing. I'm confused. A-T-N is pronounced A-chan. Well, how did we come about that? What's the origin? What's the backstory on his name? Is it for it to be spelled the way it is, but pronounced completely different than the cellar?

From New Orleans, you hear the, you hear it, you hear the, kind of like the Creole. Yes. And when he got to Clemson, they kept, he told them what it was. But they, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't, if you look at it and the way it's failed, that doesn't look like it should say A, Chad. It looks like it should say A. Yeah. So they called him Travis A.T.N. Jr., and it stuck.

And he didn't correct them. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Robbie Gold, used to be the kicker for the 49ers. They called him Robbie Gould when he was in Chicago. Right. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

Why hasn't a woman formally participated in a Formula One race weekend in over a decade? Think about how many skills they have to develop at such a young age. What can we learn from all of the new F1 romance novels suddenly popping up every year? He still smelled of podium champagne and expensive friction.

And how did a 2023 event called Wagageddon change the paddock forever? That day is just seared into my memory. I'm culture writer and F1 expert Lily Herman, and these are just a few of the questions I'm tackling on no grip. a Formula One culture podcast that dives into the under-explored pockets of the sport.

I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star players like, well, I want to leave?

And then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too. They pulled me to their side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight before games, no, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. And we're like, mommy, why did you miss that?

Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized game with Stuy and Miles on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Daniel Jeremiah. And I'm Greg Rosenthal. And this is 40s and free agents. The games may be over, but the NFL never stop. This is my favorite part of the calendar. Yeah, mine too, Greg.

Free agency, the Combine, the NFL draft, Pro Days, trades. This is where teams reshape their future. This is where Daniel Jeremiah makes his money. On 40s and free agents, we break down every move that actually matters. From my draft evaluations, mock drafts, and team fits to my top 101 free agents and how real rosters are built, cap space, contracts, and all the tough decisions included. You got quarterbacks on the move. We got teams.

rebuilding it's hope season. Yeah, absolutely it's hope season. We'll tell you what's real, what's noise, and what it means for your favorite team. Smart analysis, real conversations every week. I'm not about the smart, but definitely analysis. Listen to 40s and free agents on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I know you guys have been calling me Robbie Gould for a while, but actually my name is Robbie Gold. Right, but why he got the U in there then? Hey, bro, don't start me to lie. Listen, that's pretty dope. That's pretty dope. I like it. I can't wait to, I'm sure I'm going to see Travis A. Chan at some point.

I would love to hear the backstory on the spelling and how, you know, his parents came about giving them in that name. Yeah. If, you know, like the guy from the Nuggets is spelled broad, B-R-A-U-N, but it's pronounced brown. Christian Brown. It's spelled, it looks like it should be Christian Braun. Right. But it's pronounced Christian Brown.

So sometimes spelling and pronunciation doesn't go hand in hand. No, not at all. You know, I know very well because that's Pelo Cinco, man. That's rough for me. So hopefully down there in New Orleans,

he's from that area. Hopefully everything will get corrected and he'll be Travis A. Chan. But that's what, uh, that's, that's what it is, Ocho. So he's correcting people. He says hopefully, he says he doesn't think people to have a problem pronouncing his name from, because he's from that area. They're very familiar with that.

I'm surprised it took him, what, five years to get that corrected. Yeah. Normally guys, you know, hey, they get that corrected as soon as possible. The hair is the pronunciation. I guess they started, I guess they call him T.E. Because like D.K. is De Quillan.

But he goes by D.K. Because it's so hard to say. So he's, just call me D.K. The quillin what? What's the K? De Quillin what? D.K. is for De Quillan Metcalf. Okay.

Hey, I'm calling him that from now on. Albert Breer wrote about the latest he's hearing on the Max Cros. the future with the Raiders. Breer reported some of the fractured trust between Crosby and the Raiders was rebuilt organically last week when the team showed the five-time pro bowlers that it had his back and reaching out and offering him any help he needed after Ravens backed out.

It won't hurt Clint Kubiak effort to build a culture to have someone like Crosby. If Crosby buys in and there's no reason to think that he won't, he has the potential to be what he's always wanted to be for the Raiders a flag bearer and an agent of change. Hey, uh, it sounds good. I love the words, right? But after a situation like that, and a team ships you off or lets you go,

and they bring you back, how are you building trust? Look, we don't, oh, Joe, some people say that he told him that he wanted out. Some people say he never said that. They got an offer that they couldn't refuse. Two first round picks. They traded Michael Parsons for two first round picks. More times that there have been a lot of players traded for two first round picks.

So it should be a badge of honor that somebody thought enough of you that they were offering two first rounders for your services. Okay, things didn't work out. So guess what? They brought him back. Yeah. We're happy to have you back. Ocho behind the, like I said, I don't know.

I mean, you hear a lot of things. He wanted to go, he didn't want to go, blah, blah, blah. We don't really, I don't really know the extent. But I know this is that they got him back. Yeah. And if they tried to trade him again, he's not getting a first. Once somebody fails you on a physical lochho, it's hard to overcome that. Yeah, that sucks too.

The physical part, I mean, that sucks. I hope he has a speedy recovery, gets back healthy, and can do what he's always done. be dominant at his craft. I'm hoping Kubiak and the rest of that organization has a hell of a plan, not only with off-season free agency, but the draft as well to continue to build what they need necessary to be able to compete in that division because the Broncos have gotten better, the chiefs have gotten better,

and at some point the raiders are going to have to catch up. Yeah. And, I mean, look, nobody wants, I mean, being traded, It's always nice. You know, I was potentially traded a couple of times. It didn't happen. Almost got traded to Green Bay during the 99th season, ended up breaking my collarbone. You?

I did. You mean you could have been with Brett Faw? Yep. Had I not broke my collarbone, I would have been with Brett Farr. Almost got traded in the 95 offseason to Arizona for Eric Swan. The Broncos was going to give their first round pick, which was number 15, ended up being John Mobley, myself, and Mike Pritchard for X-1. That didn't go through.

Right. So, and it's tough. It's like, damn, y'all really think y'all be better off without me. It just went to the Pro Bowl, Locho, you know. Yeah. That was my fourth consecutive Pro Bowl. I was two-time first. I was two-time all pro in that span.

They're like, yeah, you good, but we'd be better without you. Damn. That's what I said. See? That's exactly what I said. Hey, August, it's hard. Listen, I'm glad Max is happy. Obviously, in the media, in the public, they're always going to say all.

I don't know about the smart, but definitely analysis. Listen to 40s and free agents on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. all the right things. For sure.

But, that, it's just, it's just, you already know how dirty this business is. Yeah, for sure.

You guys have seen how this business operates many of many of times. Obviously, players, they do what they can to save face

by saying all the right things on camera, but behind closed doors, they know how the game goes. And it sucks. So I'm just hoping they do right by Max and he does,

you know, he can do diligence on getting healthy and getting back to doing what he does best. That's the number one thing, Ocho, is to get healthy. Yeah. Because we know he's healthy, he hell. Hey, for he's the fourth to deal with, but.

He's a top five edge rusher, you know, hey, I ain't taking nobody over Miles Garrett because I think Miles Garrett is the best defensive playing football, and I can make a case he's a top five player in all of football, regardless of position. Obviously, the quarterbacks hold a lot more valuable than a lot more value than any other position. Yes.

When you look at what Max Crosby, what Miles Garrett can do in the run, tag for losses, pressures, he's second to none. But like you said, Ocho, it's tough. Because it's almost like, Ocho, we filed for divorce and then we come on back, baby. Yeah? Hey, I can't find none. Hey, I can't find none else out there. Hey.

I can't find none of that out. Come to find out, you, you, you wasn't what he thought he was. Or she wasn't what you thought she was. So come on back and accept them. Mm-hmm. Hey, after, you can't trust after that, man. So. No, no, no, no, no, no.

But, oh, Joe, look at all the grades. They traded Joe Montana. Yeah, oh, yeah. They cut Jerry. They cut Emmett. Mm-hmm. Come on, what are we doing here? These new young players think that, that,

that being released or being traded is beneath. You better go back and check some of the historically great players that have been cut and traded. Mm-hmm. It happens. You don't need to stop. Max Crosby also said on his podcast that he acted off the field the way he does on the field.

He would be in prison. Crosby said the second I put on my cleats and I'm across the line. environment and I'm thinking about murdering everything in front of me. The second I'm off, I can turn it off just like that and just because you have to, I can't be like I'm on the field all the time or I'd be in prison. He's a perfect guy. He's a perfect guy for the Raiders.

Yeah, I mean, listen, I said that red hair, I mean, he's Al. He would be like the old, Ocho, the 70s Raiders, went to have a Tuzac and Otis Sitz drunk and all those guys. Ben Davison or Jack Tatum and all those guys. He's been. You're perfect. I said it before. I mean, I didn't think he wanted to be there.

But if he is, I mean, they lose a huge piece of what their identity is. Matt Crosby is the identity. He represents everything that the Raiders are and always have been. Yep. So, I mean, it was kind of weird to see him go. But I was also happy he went. I wasn't happy he went to the goddamn Ravens. But, you know, but I mean, hey, listen, it is what it is.

So. If Tom Brady can change teams. If Aaron Rogers can change teams. Yeah. If you think about the greatest players, the greatest players can change teams. Yeah. What chance do you got these guys got enough? Brady didn't finish his career.

Peyton Manning got released. Yeah, y'all realized Peyton Manning got cut, right? Five MVP's. Yeah. Adrian Peterson, Emmett Smith, it happens. Yeah. It's tough, though, Ocho. It really is because it's a blow to your ego.

I'm like, bro, all the all pro teams out of made? All these pro-boes, DPO-wise and MVPs? And you said, you're saying that you, you better without me. Hey, you know what the problem is too? With those MVP's, with those defensive player of the years, with those pro bowls, and maybe add your Super Bowls to it as well. Yes. But when I want to get that money off the books, huh?

When I want to get that money off the books and I want to go somewhere, get some cheaper. Now, I might not get the production you bring me, but I can get half the production and try to make up for it in other areas. When they get fed up, they fed up. It's really that simple, Ocho. You see they're eating 100 million of Tua. They're paying $2 a damn near $60 million.

Say, nah, you go and play for somebody else. It happens. The greatest, from Randy, the T.O. The Jerry. Your top receivers. That's like, nah, we're good. It happens. And so I can understand, but, you know, you're happy that.

You know what? They wanted me back, so I'm good. I'm good. I can get. Ocho, you know what? I can get over that. I can get over that. Yeah.

It does. Because you think about what you, think about what you gave to Cincinnati. If Cincinnati, because it's like, you were like, okay, it's time for a change of scenery. But look at all what you had done to Cincinnati. Yes. From the all pros to the Pro Bowls. And they say, yeah, Ocho, yeah, we could. Yeah.

I kind of, I kind of knew it was coming to, though. And I understood it. The funny thing about it, too, honky, you know what? I was, I was very wise. actually while I was still playing the game. I understood the business side of it. I understood the politics that came with it, which is why I played the game with such joy

like a little kid that I did. Because I understood the midside, and I wanted nothing to do with that. Now, honestly, when obviously the trade happened, I knew it was going to happen because they were drafting a new quarterback. Yeah. They were drafting a new receiver.

Yeah. That new regime was going to start. And they wanted to start fresh because... They wanted to start fresh. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody else was... I don't want to... I hate using the word old.

But we were up in age. Mm-hmm. We were up in age. So I understood it. If I could have, I would have loved to let Marvin know. They say, lay live, I'll take a pay cut. I take a pay cut. Just put me in a slot.

Put me in a slot. I allow AJ Green do what he do on the outside. And let me just, if I could be a one jersey team, if I could do it again, I would stay. I would definitely stay. Yeah. I didn't even have a choice. I didn't even have a choice. I didn't get no phone call, no nothing.

I think Drew Rosenhouse hit me and say, they're, yeah, they shipping your black ass off. Yeah, Ocho, I wasn't taking no pay cut. No? A hell no. And let me, see, I'm... But Ocho, you got to understand, I had taken less. Now, I wasn't getting big signing bonuses.

Right. So, they was really, my money was against the cap, so I was the highest paid. Right. I'm like, I don't know. So seven consecutive pro bows and an eight year span with five, with five all pros, and you want me to take a pay cut because I have I got injured oh okay okay okay okay I think for me the fact that I'd take a 300,000 dollar pay cut right that's all I give you yeah I would have took a pay cut on simply because when football season was over

I had so many moving parts in the all season so I was still it was like I was damn there working year round so I wouldn't a trip whatever I take a pay cut and whatever I take whatever pay is cut in season, I would make up an off-season anyway, so I really wasn't tripping. But obviously, it didn't work out that way. No. But look, it for the best, I'm glad I went to Baltimore. I got a chance to win another Super Bowl.

I won it without the umbrella of Denver. And people couldn't question, well, you weren't going to be that good. If you hadn't played in Denver with Elway and Shanahan, blah, blah, blah, I get all of that. But look, look, I don't care who my teammates were. I was very successful that I was a part of. three Super Bowl winning teams, and I like to think I was an integral part on all of those. So people are going to try to take shots at your old show or what you did this, you did that,

look who you played with. Okay. What y'all want me to do? Say, I wish I had to play with Elway? Wish Mike wasn't my head coach? I don't think Brady, I don't know how Brady feels about, you know, coach. but he'll never say he wished he wasn't his head coach. Right.

Not after what they accomplished. And, you know, sometimes you don't get along. Everybody don't get along. This notion that you think that everybody should get alone, that ain't happening. Just like you don't get along. Go ahead, Ocho. Everybody don't get along in the job. Yeah, we saw that.

We saw the Lakers. Hey, Chuck, are we contenders yet? All I know, we're the third. seed. Third seed. Just took down the Rockets 100 to 92. I saw that.

Luca had 36, 6 and 4. LeBron had 18, 5 and 5. Auster Rees had 15, 3 and 5. Mark and Smart chipped in with 11. D8, gave us 11 rebounds with 7 points. We got 13 points off the bench. We can roll.

with that. We can roll with that. Or easy 33 minutes for tomorrow. A little light lifted. Had the highest plus minus or anybody on the court tonight. But Lakers are playing well. They're playing some good basketball. They're playing some good basketball. Lucas, Luca's

Luca is Luca's Luca. He gets off to that hard start. I mean, now you're kind of at his mercy. What, Luca had tonight, on? 36, 6, and 4. 36, 6, and 4. And there are two players right now in the league averaging 25 and 5. Joker.

Joker. Guess who the other one is? Either Shea or Luca. LeBron. I think there's two players. She'll win the MVP. Not even close, huh? No.

Even with the time that he missed, he's still going to win it, huh? Yep. He ain't missed over the, he ain't missed over the, a lot of. games. Right. So, and Joker can only miss one more game. So if he missed one more game, he's cool. But if he misses two more games, he's out of the running. It's a rap. Yonis is out of the running. So for me, it's Shea, it's yoke, it's, it's Cade, it's, J.B, and it's Luca. Yeah. And Wimby. And Wimby.

And Wimby. But Lakers got a big win tonight. They needed this. They start their road trip. They got the same team again Wednesday. Oh, man. If I'm head coach, I'm flying y'all ass back to L.A. You think I'm going to lead y'all down here Monday night, Tuesday night in Houston? Oh, no. Y'all got to go.

Coach, can you imagine if you had the Super Bowl in Houston now? I don't even want to think about that. I'm going to do my part, a nightcap remote. I ain't showing up. You're going to be in Houston by yourself. I'll be doing about on video conference. Hey, if you don't show up, I ain't showing up. I say, I mean, I'm not-Ocho.

The beat out there for a ho-o. Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Thursday night, Friday night. Getting up out of their sad, Ocho, for real? No, no, sir. No, sir. Can't do it. Oh, Houston, boy. Darius A-Cup Jr. scored 30 points and handed out 11 assists,

leading Arkansas past Vanderbilt, 8675. Arkansas's first SEC tournament crowd since 2000. With the win, Kalaparre became the first SEC coach, okay, in history to win the tournament titles at two different programs. He won six at Kentucky, excuse me, the last in 2018, including the 2017 title over Arkansas. Kalapari now has 16 combined conference tournament titles in career stance at UMass in the A10, Memphis and Conference USA, and Kentucky. in Arkansas in the SEC. Ocho, what did you like about what, Joe, let's go to you, this is your squad.

What did you like about what you saw from your team? Man, okay, Ocho, first off, they hadn't won the SEC championship since 2000. And guess who was on that team? Who's on that team? Who that, Joe? You're on that.

Joe, you were on now? Tata! Hey, listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you y'all something. 2000, bro. We was like 16 and 14 going into the SEC tournament. That was my freshman year of school. We wasn't going to make the NCAA tournament unless we won the SEC tournament.

Right. Man, the gauntlet we had to go through four days to win four games against elite talent. Georgia, who was, it was played here in Atlanta to Georgia Dome, so it was a home game for them. Then Kentucky, LSU. in Auburn, like, that was a hard feat. This is, this, this, this, kudos to, uh, coach Kyle, man, and, and his coaching staff, you know, chin and Kenny Payne, those dudes, man, keeping those guys ready and developing

those dudes because we've gotten better as the season has progressed. And right now, Uncle Ocho, them Razorbacks, we probably, we're playing the best ball. This is the best time to be, you know, peaking, you know, going into the tournament. So I'm proud of those guys, man. That's what's up. home team. Them dudes, Coach Cal, look, when Coach Cal got the job, I went to his presser because I knew he was going to bring talent.

Yeah. We got the, we got two fresh. We got the SEC freshman of the year, the SEC player of the year. He's a freshman, bro. Like, he's going to get the talent. Now we just got to, you know, hope these boys can keep it going. But they look great, man. They look great.

Congratulations. Yeah, Billy Richmond yesterday was the guy. He had a sensational game. Yeah. And then the day A Cubs said, hold on, y'all must have forgot. I'm still him. Yeah, yeah. Them boys bawling, man.

We got quite a few guys, Uncle Ocho. Trevor Brazil. Yeah, Brazil. Brazil. Yeah, Brazil. Yeah, he's been playing great. Wagon. Obviously, Malik Thomas.

These young dudes. Who? D.J. Wagner. Yeah, yeah. DJ Wagner, who's been around the block. He knows and understands. We got a solid squad, bro. We got a solid squad.

He, they shot, your guy shot 15 or 24 from the three, Joe. They're shooting that thing, huh? I'm talking about we got some guys who can fill it up, though. Like, them boys getting it done, man. You know, in the NCAA tournament, Arcan Ocho, if you got great guard play, you got a great chance to go far. Yes. You got a great chance to go far.

And we got two elite guards, man, who I think, and obviously, you know, lead us in the right direction. So I'm looking forward to seeing these guys. That's how you corn won it back to back, because what did they have? Great guard play. You look at Villanova when they're going. What did they have? Guard play.

You look at the Tar Heels when they won. What did they have guard play? You're absolutely right, Joe. The bigs, it's nice to have a big, but if you got great guard play, I'm talking about game changing guards. You've seen that run. Kimball went on when he was with Connecticut. Like how him and a little Shabazz Napier and all of them,

the dudes change the game. But you've got to have guards who can really take over, Ocho and we got there, bro. Y'all do. Y'all, I mean, y'all, I can't complain. I can't, I can't say nothing, Joe. I can't say nothing. Yeah.

Yeah. He's tough like that. He liked that. He liked that. Yeah. I mean, y'all shot 52% from the floor, 63% from the three-point line. You shoot 63% for the three-point line.

You're going to win a lot of games. Yeah. That was, uh, you know, that's back-to-back-to-back. That's three games and three days, fellas, you know, with minimum risk. Look. You know, the one thing by Cal, you know, Cal being on the N. I.L. deals.

And now he got, that Tyson money and that Walmart buddy down there at Arkansas show. And that Tyson chicken. That Tyson chicken farm, that the Walmart buddy. Hey, hey. That is not a bad place to start when it's legally in IL money now. But that's the best place you can start.

Actually, you know, they filthy up there, bro. They take care of them. They take care of them boys. You get great product. Look, probably Texas. If I'm looking at somewhere, I'm probably football a little show. My first show, I'm looking at Texas. University of Texas got money.

SMU. Hold on. Didn't somebody just give SMU like $60 million, like three families? I think three or four families just gave them like $60 million. Look that little, Ash. Oh, yeah. Mm. Man, hey, we might have to take a trip up there and hollet the Walms.

The Walms. The Wal-War. The Walmars and, uh. The Tyson, man, the Fedville, where I want the college at, Ocho. You know him personally? Come on, man. Stop player. What did you talk about?

50 million dollars, Ocho, to recruit and retain players at SMU. Damn. They're going to go get them at that old money, Ocho. That's that Highland Park money. That's that real money. Yes. You think Texas and you think A&M got it? Yes, you got it.

They got it, got it. Yeah. I look like that. What? Hey, Joe, tell me more about these, Mr. Tyson and man. You eat Titan chicken. When you go to the store, you see T-Y-S-O-N,

that's them. Yeah, I know. They at Arkansas. When you go to Walmart, Sam's Club, DeWalton, that's them. Okay, okay. Hey, Joe, you can get them on the land, Joe, so I can highlight them.

Ben, say last, man. What you got? You got some plans? Yeah, I know, I ain't got planned. All you got to do is get me in the room, Joe. Yeah. All right, man. Hey, Joe, one thing about it, boy, I may play a fool, but I know how to work a room, like no other.

Yeah, we might have to do it like a little event or something up there. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Hey, that's fine with me. All right. All right.

Whoever had the best-looking mascot. Hey, hey, you listen, y'all using your basketball knowledge and using your logic and common sense to pick the teams, and it never goes that way. That's how I know neither one of y'all won't be in at the end. You got all top. That's all they do.

anything can happen. On a given, on a given, on a given, on a given Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, you have no earthly idea what could possibly happen. We've seen it. Expect the unexpected. From when Billanova beat Georgetown

to when NC State beat Houston, it started with Texas Western beating Kentucky. Yeah. Man, man, listen. It's not, It's nothing like March Madness.

I remember, okay, Ocho, when I was at high school, bro, junior high school, when the Razorbacks played, because, you know, it's more like our NBA team. We ain't had no NBA professional team, but the Razorbacks were there, you know, in the 90s, they were always good. Yeah, y'all had Sidney Moncrief. Yeah, we had Sidney Moncrief,

Ron Brewer, Lee Mayberry, Ty Day, Big O. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had squaders Williams, Scottie Thurman, them dudes want, they went the back-to-back, Natties, one-one. Yeah. So the 90s, we were always pretty good. And I remember they were shut down.

If the Razorbacks was playing, bro, you go to class. You know how they rode? They wheel them big TVs in there, them big TV. They wheel them in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We watch the game going to be on the day. The whole school shut down. Every class got the game on.

So those are moments that I always remember. So when I see, you know, the Razorbacks playing like they did this weekend, bro, and winning the SEC, you know, championship, it takes me back to my childhood memory. So I don't know. I'm still in a little awe by how those dudes played throughout this whole weekend. All right, Ocho, now we did a women's bracket also.
