Starting point is 00:04:09 I'm doing good, brother, Debo, doing great. Another good day. Had a great weekend. Palm Sunday. You know what I'm saying? God is good. He is always here. Blessed.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Bless to be here with you, my good brother. Yes, no question about it, baby. No question about it. Look here, man. Bleacher Report Day over there tripping, man. Wow. They're saying T.J. is the Steelers, you know, most overpaid player. Future Report says he has an incredible career, but watch three-year, $123 million
Starting point is 00:04:39 contract, makes him the third highest-played defender in the league. His sack numbers have plummeted in back-to-back campaigns, entering into age 32 season. Well, he's 32 this season. Eight-time pro bowler. Yes. It's not even close to being worth that kind of money these days. Who, Joe, they trip me.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Do you agree or disagree? I don't agree. I don't agree at all. But this is the thing, Debo. When you're the highest-paid player, you know how people are. Actions, they need to see production. Once you start getting that second contract, that third contract, they don't care about any of the stuff that you've done before.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Any of those previous years, that's irrelevant to the fan or to the player to the people when they're looking at them playing. They see TJ, they see $123 million that the stillers are paying, and they're looking at that's what we need. We need that production every single year, every single season, every single snap. This year he was hurt. You know what I'm saying? Like, he got his lung punctured.
Starting point is 00:05:47 When TJ's out there, he's, like, it's not like it was like an ankle or soft tissue. He had his lung punctured, and it was a situation that went down. And I think if he was out there, he would have still been bawling. He hasn't showed any signs of, like, slowing down. TJ is TJ. When he's out there, he performs, he not only with sacks, with interceptions, with force fumbles, with fumble recoveries. He's not just out there, just, you know what I'm saying, making sacks.
Starting point is 00:06:15 He's creating turnovers. He's getting the ball out. He's doing that. So from the fans' perspective, when you look at it and you see $40 million. I know that's a big number like that. But that's what the going rate is. When you have a TJWy on your team that produces like that, sucks like last year, it wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:06:34 But having him plan, I'm expecting him to be the same T.J. Y. And he's expecting themselves to be T.J. Y. So honestly, coming up on it, he does have to produce. He does. We need T.J.Y. out there, in the majority of the games, like, hopefully no punctured lung.
Starting point is 00:06:48 You know what I'm saying? Like out there just by his own will out there to just ball do what he got to do. So I don't think T.J. Y is overpaid. I think that T.J. Y. is getting what he's deserved. He came in. It's back pay. It's what he was doing for us.
Starting point is 00:07:02 T.J.Y. has 115 career sacks, nine picks, 36 force fumbles, and 14, and 14 fumble recoveries. Like, he's, with Miles Garrett,
Starting point is 00:07:12 125 career sacks, zero picks, 23 force fumbles, and six fumble recoveries. So it's like, you have what, like, statistically, you might not,
Starting point is 00:07:21 he doesn't look like Miles Garrett, but the numbers are the numbers. You get that production when you have T.J. Y. on the field. You have Miles Garrett,
Starting point is 00:07:28 Garrett type numbers. So I'm expecting him to be out there, a leader on the team. I don't want him to go anywhere. But that's why, like, as a fan, they're looking at it like, dude, he's getting that bag. So we need him to be performing like that or we can move on. What do you think? If you're going purely by the numbers and him being what they say, the third highest paid defender in the league and having the numbers he's.
Starting point is 00:07:58 had over the last two years, yes, I'll say it don't correlate with the money. But you're, you're not looking at the things that don't count on the goal sheet and categories that don't really show up as, you know, stats. And that's him taking up to sometimes three players, you know, every play that are assigned to him. So he's working through double teams. And as you said, it's only one person in the league that gets double more than him. And that's Miles Garrett. T.J. is number two. add that with him constantly being chipped. Like, come on.
Starting point is 00:08:34 It's not always about the numbers. And when you do that and you got a guy that is taking two and three, you're giving your other players the opportunity to have the one-on-one matchups where every man, whoop a man, you get in those opportunities. And when you look at him, even right now, as a top three edge rusher, who is, you know, getting paid the money that he's getting paid. For me, I think he's worth it. Because when you look, when they don't have him, when we don't have TJ,
Starting point is 00:09:04 dude, what we at, 10, 15% win percentage? The sack rate is bottom third. Points allow jump from 18 to 24 to 27. Turnovers plummet. When TJ is there, it's 60 to 75%. We got a chance of winning. When he's there, sack rate is top five. points 18 to 20
Starting point is 00:09:26 force fumbles top 10 so that is things that you you don't see on the record you don't see in the numbers but that indicates that yo when he's out there other guys are getting more opportunities
Starting point is 00:09:41 1000% out there they don't understand that concept because in the last two years did say his production that slipped he went his last two years ago was 11 and a half sacks And then last season was seven, seven sacks with two picks. But I'm like, okay, I understand that.
Starting point is 00:09:59 That's still 18 sacks in the last two years. It may be a little dip, but now T.J., I'm thinking him in 16 games, he's went, he started off rookie season, seven sacks, then 13, then 14 and a half, then 15. Then we go 22, five, okay? Then we go five and a half, something happened with injuries, whatever. Next season after that, 19. And then two years ago, 11 and a half, then last season, seven. I'm just, that's a lot of sacks. That's a lot of production. And that's T.J. And I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:10:30 him coming back now making sense, him knowing two, I'm making 40 a year. I don't think TJ likes these numbers. He wants to be around that 15, 16. He's 19. You know what I'm saying? He had 19. He had 22 and a half sacks before. So I think he can still get to those big numbers. And I think he wants to get to those big numbers. And I think just his overall production, his through the totality, he has the benefit of the doubt that I believe like, okay, last year aspiration you got hitting the lung come back this season fully rested ready to go and show them what you got so i mean i think tj is definitely going to ball out and prove it to everybody but it's just the stuff that you said too having him out there being chipped you know what
Starting point is 00:11:09 saying opening up other people that's something that you can't measure this dude he up to now he's being chipped almost double the percentage of the time he was getting chipped two years ago he was did he doubled two years ago. And you know when you don't have that pressure, you're giving your D.Bs, they got to cover longer. So the defense is, when he's not out there, the defense, the D.Bs, they got to cover
Starting point is 00:11:34 longer. Like, you're not sitting out there talking about, okay, one, two, three. Now you're like, oh, shit, one, two, three, four, five. Oh, man, what's going on? Yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So for them to go and say, you know, he's, no, that doesn't correlate with me
Starting point is 00:11:50 because they're looking at just pure numbers. If you're looking at pure numbers, then that may correlate to you. But if you know the game and you understand what's really going on and how he affects the game outside of the numbers, it's just false. It's false, man. And Art said that, you know, he's expecting Aaron Rogers to answer before the draft. He said, I still expect that. I expect we'll get an answer before the draft. when I talked to him and Omar talked to him, he told us he was going to take a, he wasn't going to take as long this year as he did last year to make a decision.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I'm not 100% sure what that means, but I'm expecting something before the drive. Joe. Yo. I don't think they understand, Joe. I don't think. Listen, I do not think that. Listen, the distillers do not understand. Aaron is not going to give you a decision until you give this.
Starting point is 00:12:49 man, numbers, okay? Because he's not coming back for what he came back for last year, period. I believe he'll retire before he come back for what he came back for last year. He just said, what, what, what was it? Hell, I had said weeks ago, like, when he was on a Pat McAfee show and he said, well, they had not gave me an offer or a deal yet. So until he gets something sitting in front of him, he's going to sit there and wait. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Colin Cord, he just said on Friday, he was like, Quote, I don't think, he said, I think Aaron Rogers, I think Aaron Rogers did an absolutely, absolutely out, absolutely outplayed his contract, sorry. And then he said, on top of that, Aaron making $32 million is reasonable, dude. Like, and when you look at it, your mere tier guys, they look, what, 20 to 30? And then everybody else that's considered good is 30 and up. And then you got your 40 plus that are, you know, excellent, you know, guys like that. like he saved our ass last year dude like he kind of you know you kind of owe the man some back pay you know so if the stillers if the stillers want a decision before the draft they're going to have to give him numbers before the draft otherwise why would he do anything else than just sit back there the man done made over 380 million in his career dude you're talking about another 100 plus million in endorsement so he's not hurting for money man until y'all give him an offer he ain't coming back he ain't even thinking about doing nothing like that.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Tell you what you do. Just go there and get a man, say, hey, 30. Just go 30 and see where it goes from there. If y'all really want him back, because obviously you must want him back. You're sitting there and, you know, we're waiting on him. So I'm a little confused. So they want the, the Steelers want him to say that he's coming back just
Starting point is 00:14:41 without, without it. And then we didn't get to talking about the deal. Yeah. That's what I'm assuming. I'm not saying, but that's where the, it sounds like, because he said on a Pat Mackey, he said that, like, yo, I haven't got an offer yet. I haven't had anything to look at. He hasn't made a decision because he doesn't have a decision to make yet because if they come with 10, his decision or be made.
Starting point is 00:15:06 I'm pretty sure. Okay. That's what you're saying. Okay. Well, if that's making sense, well, then the still is need to go ahead and throw that offer out before the draft that they want to get an answer. Because if he's just, he's, like you said, he's not. I'm with you a thousand percent. I didn't know the situation like that.
Starting point is 00:15:23 If you don't have an offer. He was on here talking about it. No, but if you know. Two, three weeks ago. But I didn't, I didn't know that they didn't offer him anything.
Starting point is 00:15:31 They just want him to say, yeah, I'm coming back and now we can get to negotiate. They want him to say, yes, I want to play. So they're hoping that his desire to want to play will get him to take a friendly deal.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Like, he's due, dude, he saved us last year. We, we're not sitting, we're not sitting nowhere close to 500 if he's not playing last year.
Starting point is 00:15:53 No, I'm with you. You right. He definitely outplayed the contract that he signed. Like, yo, it's some back pay. And right now, the average is about 30. That's crazy. I don't... Are you paying them? What are you paying A-Rod?

Starting point is 00:16:47 the story of the sports most consequential driver strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom. And was Daniel Ricardo's illustrious F1 career, a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both? He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this, I'm better, and plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent gumster fire for more than 75 years.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Listen to No Grip on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. If you're trying to keep up with everything happening on and off the court, we've got you covered on the podcast, flagrant and funny. You look at the top four number one seeds. What do you think UCLA is going to do? Break down that for me, my friend. Obviously, Yukon is the overwhelming favorite in this tournament.
Starting point is 00:17:41 But I'll be honest, I think people are kindlessly, on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU. Only ones that could possibly upset Yukon.
Starting point is 00:18:04 On Flagrant and Funny, we're giving our unfiltered takes on the biggest moments the conversations everyone's having. So whether your bracket is busted or you just want the latest on the tournament, we got you.

Starting point is 00:18:30 found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Sond's, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected.
Starting point is 00:18:57 They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Lepin and Michael Marincini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

Usually on this podcast will kill you, we talk about the diseases, infections, and biological threats that can make us really sick. But right now, we're doing something a little different. We're stepping back and looking at what the human body needs to keep. going. When you consider what we know about sleep in humans, there's one rule that comes out. We are predictably unpredictable sleepers. We're talking about why sleep works the way it does, why our bodies
Starting point is 00:19:57 don't follow neat rules, and why modern life makes rest so hard to come by. The second half of our series takes us to the digestive system with a multi-part series on what happens after we eat. Okay, I just have to say that all of my favorite words apparently are digestive words. Yeah, sphincter, parastolstis, duodians, duodenum. It's fascinating.

Starting point is 00:20:19 Episodes of our new series run from January 20th through February 17th, with new episodes every Tuesday on the Exactly Right Network. Listen to this podcast will kill you as part of the Exactly Right Network
Starting point is 00:20:29 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Still, is you offering them 30? You, Debo. If I want him back, I would offer him 30. Me personally, I'm just going to say,
Starting point is 00:20:40 you know what? It's going to be one more year. Let's just go ahead and run. with what we got right now and we sink or swim. And from there, if we need to get something next year, then we get it. But if I'm going to say, you know what,
Starting point is 00:20:57 I feel like Aaron can be that, the quarterback that can put us to where we're fighting for a championship, then yes, here, hey, 30, let's talk. Where are we at? What do you think? I think if they're really trying to make it happen, Air Rod did honestly say the squad.
Starting point is 00:21:15 He didn't do bad. I don't know. The 30 is crazy part, though, because I was thinking more, he definitely outpaid his contract when he came in for the 10, 12, whatever it was. It's going on McCarthy now. I'm like, do you, is it one? Because we're building the offense. We're building the team, building the line. Do we need that 34?
Starting point is 00:21:37 If they think that that's going to be the reason, A. Rod, as the quarterback, we got the running back, we got the receivers. We're bringing in the corners and we're getting the safeties. They have a solid team. If McCarthy thinks, all right, I bet. A-Rod with this squad that we got right now, we can run it for the 30. Take the 30. That's like, that's, it's a no-brainer, for sure. So you offered a 30 and see where we go.
Starting point is 00:21:59 If, yes, I mean, yes, yes. Because right now it's 30 or it's 30 or Will Howard. It's 30 or Will Howard. So because, because it's like you would have another additional funds to bring more players, bring more alignment. That money is helping out the team with, will build to help out Will Howard. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:22:17 So I'm like, if A-Rod can do it with the 30 and we like what we got, you know what I'm saying, we're bringing in our draft picks and make it happen, we could build this team with A-Rod and compete, and that's what McCarthy thinks, smooth. If he thinks that 30 can help Will Howard, and if he don't do it, then we know we need a quarterback for sure, like for a future, but we still got the squad. We're still building people. We're still getting nice players everywhere.
Starting point is 00:22:39 So when we do get that quarterback next season, you know what I'm saying? then we'll be good. So it's either A-Rod for the 30 or we rocking with Will to bring more pieces to get the team right with that extra 30. You know what I'm saying? But I'm thinking whatever, whichever one McCarthy thinks. But with me, I would rock with the A-Rod then because he's guaranteed it's a Hall of Famer. He did what he did for us last year. We're getting better pieces.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Everybody's to not perform. We got T.J. He did healthy. We got Dean Porter Jr. Safeties. You know what I'm saying? Like I won't rock out with it. Interior D-Lyman.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Interior D-Line? Yes. You know what I'm saying? Queen, hungry. You're like, man, you all got me messed up. Like, I deserve it. I'm still young. I'm a nice linebacker.
Starting point is 00:23:21 So, you know, her bit. If it's me, I thought my GM hat on, though. And I'm like, hey, GM owner, I ain't talking about a rebuild. I want to win it. Yeah, no, for sure. I got to go ahead and throw him at least the 8th. Yeah. We think of 30 for the year.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Talk to me. It makes sense. It makes sense. Because, look, when you think it might, when we start talking about the 30, you can't be looking at it. at the 30, like, people are making 60. You know what I'm saying? Two of a little, they were making 50.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Like, A-Rod at the 30 ball. Like, you know what I'm saying? Sam Donald, he signed his extension at 35 a year. That was cool. Like, okay, 30 isn't crazy when you really sum it all up. Like, we're going to get a veteran quarterback that's going to come hold down the ship. We know what we got. It's A-Rod.
Starting point is 00:24:05 All right. Okay, Rob, rock out. No question, brother. You got me there, Debo. You got me there. Yeah, man. All you got, like, sit back and just look at it. Like, yo, I mean, I think we almost got like, what,
Starting point is 00:24:15 maybe like 27 million in Cap room right now. We may have to figure out something, but... We can move people's stuff into guarantee money. You know how to go. Three, three, three, four million. Come on. Come on. We can find some way to do something.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Mm-hmm. About that. That ain't going to be hard to do. No, we could finagle. Oman know how to move them numbers around. Was the money man for so long? He knows how to, yeah. Listen, man.
Starting point is 00:24:37 That's why he getting these signs, getting these great deals, making the money. making the money long, making the extend out long. You understand what I'm saying? Look here, man. This man, Pac-Man, has something to say about us recruiting bro. See? Listen to it, man.
Starting point is 00:24:54 James Harrison had a comment talking about Jeep and talking to Joe, bro, to go to Pittsburgh, this shitty-ass state. We're orange and black, not yellow and black. Our roads do not have big-ass potholes in them when you're driving around. You can ride on 22s and 24th. in Cincinnati. But he had the nerve to come out and say that he had to talk to Joe Burrow.
Starting point is 00:25:15 I talked to Joe Burrow. Ain't no way in the hell. Joey's Ohio boy. We do not want to go to Pittsburgh. And I know what you used to know there grinning and laughing about, because you play with this shitty-ass organization that had all else on this goddamn report card.
Starting point is 00:25:31 It seems like it would be a downgrade to anybody that's leaving Cincinnati go to goddamn Pittsburgh. I'm just saying, this shit got to stop. It's got to stop right now. And I called James, and I told me, hey, stop tempering without fucking players, too. Hey, tell me this, though.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Then why is Debo saying that? Is he just making stuff up out of thin air? I don't know what Debo on. I think he had to smoke the cigars, some. You know, he'd be chewing them cigars. Maybe he had to live too much weight and just came up with this ironic idea about Joe Burrow going to fucking Pittsburgh. This is, it's ridiculous. Well, listen, still a lot.
Starting point is 00:26:10 A lot of questions around the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback position heading into... Well, fine, you want. Don't fuck with ours. Okay. Well, listen, if the money's right or if Mr. Brown gets something in return. No, no, no. The money is right. Joe Bowers can pay 50 a year. Well, y'all ain't got the money to Pimp.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Joe. No, Debo, that's you. What's up? That's you. Joe. That's you. Hey, look here, man. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Backman called me, okay. Okay. We had a conversation about Joe Burrell, and let's just say it was, um, was it, was it productive? Ah, that's the word I was looking for. It was a productive conversation. There we go. That's the, that's what I needed to know. It was a very, I think it was productive.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Okay. I think it was productive. So, obviously, he started off by threatening me with pamper, you know. with the tampering thing. But that don't work because I ain't employed by the stills. So you are not. We had to throw that out the window. Now, I understand.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Ohio boy. I'm Ohio boy myself, Joe. A.K. Routy, Routy, Westside, Southern County, Akron, Ohio, for y'all that don't know. Okay? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Now. And yes, everybody knows.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I don't, if they don't know. I used to be a Browns fan, okay? Yes. And you did. That was when I was. I was a young boy. And as I became a man, you know, as I became a man, I put away childish things. And I became a stillist fan, Joe.
Starting point is 00:28:02 And that was kind of after the browns fought to keep those shitty colors that just happened to be the identical color of Cincinnati's. And while I am thankful for the opportunity that Mr. Brown gave me back in 2013 to continue my career. And I showed my appreciation, Joe, by bringing him the AFC North Tidal. Here, let me. Yeah. The AFC North Tidal. I showed him my appreciation. Good word.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Remember that, Mr. Brown. I showed that appreciation by giving it that AFC North Tidal 2013. Mm-hmm. Hey, I told you, the title driver with me now. And I proved that to you now because in 24, I mean, in 14, y'all went to 22nd as a defense in the NFL. When I was there, he was third in defense. And I ended up coming back and going to Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I'm retired. And I went to Pittsburgh. And you know what I did? Hold up. Let me see. What I did in Pittsburgh is when I came back in 14, what I do? I took the North with me. I took the North with me.
Starting point is 00:29:11 All right. But good word, Debo. As I spent time over there in Cincinnati, Joe, I realized something. What you were like, go? It was nothing that I could do to win a championship then. So I say this to Mr. Brown. You know, and I know, we know what Joe Burrow deserves. and that's a chance
Starting point is 00:29:42 win a chance for the ship now I tell you I tell you this I'm a much rather pay that Joe Burrow 50 55 60
Starting point is 00:29:56 than then you know then I'm all in for that over anything no question hey and hey and listen
Starting point is 00:30:06 now we know that's not going to happen with Joe Burrell, Cincinnati. And if you really care about it, you give him a chance, okay? At truly, a truly legendary career
Starting point is 00:30:23 with a truly legendary organization. Hey, Mr. Brown, and don't you worry about it none, we're going to make it worth it for you. You hear me? He'll make it worth it for it. I mean, not we. I'll say the stillers. Distillers, yeah, you can't be in cahoots.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Distillers going to make it work for you, Mr. Brown. Mm-hmm. But, listen, Mr. Brown, sir, you got to listen to the voice of reason. That's me. He's not going, I hope, I pray. Listen, listen. You know, I'm with you. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:31:00 It's all right there, the show. I'm burrow. Listen, I'm, you know what? I'm going to call him Mr. Jones now, because even though we are, we are, we are, friends, that's a good brother. Mr. Adam Jones. That's a good, man. But my brother,
Starting point is 00:31:19 Joe Burrow, me and him, we go sit on down. But from one need a nice cigar or two. And we'll figure out. And it's not tampering, D-Boe because you're not employed by the Steelers. And not tampering, I ain't employed by the Steelers. Because I know. You on your free will.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Joe, you're on your free will right now. Joe is missing wearing that gold and purple from LSU and winning championships. What's the next best thing, Joe? Black and gold? Black and gold and winning the Lombardous, baby. You know it. No, see, we, right now we're recruiting. Right now, I'm on my still.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Right now, I'm not employed by the still-lis, but I'm on my still-as vibe right now. Yes, sir, yes, sir. I don't know who's a lot right now. I'm with you right now. Mr. Jones, Pac-Man, Lixon's here. We don't care nothing about what you're talking about, bro. Yeah. Y'all getting scared over there.

Starting point is 00:33:24 Everything. But if you want to have a legendary career, just not have legendary numbers. You want to have something to show for it. To show for it? You know where to go. You know where to go. Joe, Joe, Joe. Tell him, Joe.
Starting point is 00:33:44 See, look, Debo, I'm laying you for the recruiting. I already know what it is. You know how I feel about it. You already know. I'm accepting Joe Burrow, open arms. That would be unbelievable. And you know what time it is. We got the defense.
Starting point is 00:33:59 We're getting the receivers. I mean, I don't want to have to give it my... You know. You know what it is, Joe. They're having trouble protecting you over there, Joe. They want to talk. They want you to go in there and it has shootouts. You're just...
Starting point is 00:34:10 They don't want to give you no defense. They don't want to give you nobody to try and stop putting points. I got you. You go out there with, you go out there with the stillers, and you keep up, you're throwing up 35 points a game. Might go undefeat it. What? Might go on.
Starting point is 00:34:23 You give me 35 points. What? Joe, what I'm telling you. 30. Oh, my. That's what I'm good. I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I'm just saying. We just got that comfortable. Talk about two. He said he wasn't even happy. He said he wasn't even happy playing the game. He said he had to figure out what was going on, how to get his. joy back, me a season last year. Open arm.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I don't want you to feel that way, Joe. See, I want your happiness back. I want you joy. Yep, I want you love the game. I want you. I want you love the game. I would not, I got there to Pittsburgh. I loved the game.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I ain't going to lie to you. I did. Talk to him, Joe. All you got to do is do your one-eleven. Just do your part, and you're going to be good. Just do your part. You do your job at a high level. How to feel, Joe.
Starting point is 00:35:07 It felt good. You know? God, first, first, 2017, just was amazing. Playoffs and all. Lord. Hey, Joe, Joe. Joe. Joe.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Tell him how dark it is when you're in Ohio. Tell him how dark that cloud is over you. When you get into week, when you get in the week 10, Joe. Hey, you know. You know, you know. You know, yeah, I can tell Joe Burrow, being mathematically eliminated, Joe Burrow, that's not a good. I know that.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Hey. That hit you eye. Hey, we've never been that. I'm telling you. That's what I'm saying. Always been in the fight. All right. I'm not talking down on my...
Starting point is 00:35:54 No more, no more. They would be no more Brown's down talk. We're talking about the bank. Well, let's get into the Browns while we're talking about no Browns down talk. Down, high talk. The boys over there, they reach, they modified the language of Miles Garrar's contract. Yes. But Andrew Barry says...
Starting point is 00:36:10 that the team will not trade Miles. He says, Miles is a career brown. He is one of the faces of the organization. I think we've been very clear, both past and present, in terms of feelings. I understand all the questions, but I'll be honest. I don't really want to waste a ton more breath on the topic. Joe, Joe, look here, Joe, this is, this is, this is, this is what I have to say about that. He said, if we wanted to trade miles we wouldn't have needed to make a contract adjustment why do you think he made this statement why do you think what was the reason that you would need to do why would miles agree to doing this to kicking his money back up like why joe you tell me because that's that's your that's your GM Joe you know why
Starting point is 00:37:09 because he doesn't want to keep answering the questions. He could trade miles if he wants to. He just don't want to have people keep asking all these questions. Obviously, he did it for a reason. I'm Luke Wilson. Join me each week for Film Never Lies. Since retiring from the NFL, I've had a lot of my mind, and now got my own show.

But I'll be honest, I think people are kind of sleeping on Texas. Experts are suggesting that UCLA is the number one challenger to Yukon and that right after that would be Texas. S&C is so deep and so thick and just about everything. It really is annoying. So it's UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU.

The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

Because he don't want to know all in his business.
Starting point is 00:41:51 He got to make statements that they say, Miles isn't going nowhere. And guess what? When he trades him, he was like, you know what? The deal just came along and then I just had to make this move. The same way... Why would you even make the change in the language anyway then? Because what is everybody thinking? You wouldn't change the language.
Starting point is 00:42:08 You would just get that man his money when it's supposed to get his money. Miles wouldn't say, oh, yeah, I'm going to let you kick my money back. Would you say, I'm going to let you kick my money back and we're just doing this because, oh, hell, you felt like doing it? Miles still, look. I tell the truth saying, I'm asking you, what would you do, Joe? What would I do what?
Starting point is 00:42:27 Would you do what he did, allowed him to kick your money back for no reason with nothing to gain from it but other than waiting on your money? He don't know. He gained a little bit. I think they pushed up, they pushed up some of the, like, it was like $8 million that they pushed up. They moved it up from like some years back to go up forward. So it was a little bit of scratch his back, a little bit of scratch their back. So why they do all that?
Starting point is 00:42:50 Why not just say, hey, I moved some money up for him to scratch back? Why was he scratching this back? What are you talking about, Joe? Scrashing this back for what? I'm a, this, this is what really happened, Debo. Okay? Tell me what happened, Joe. The Browns really did it so he can have this from what I told you last week.
Starting point is 00:43:05 So he can have time. So he can have time to figure out after the draft if they did want to move miles, giving himself wiggle room, giving himself a little bit more time. But he said it was never, he was never, he was never trading miles. Like he said if they wanted to trade miles, they were trying to stop. He wouldn't need to adjust nothing. He said that was nothing to do it. So he's lying.
Starting point is 00:43:23 He's lying. Oh, I would say, I'll, I'll, I'll, speaking of him lying, I like, I like that. Because you, you're asking me. Because look, look, when the team, when they did say, unless and tell, the hand, until the deal is done, until the paperwork is signed, Dibault. Yes, sir. Like, the same way with the Max Crosby, John. Everybody thought the deal was done.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Oh, yeah, good faith. In good faith, I say. No, they're just going to tell you something. They ain't got to do nothing. They could be working right behind the closed doors. You're like, no, my doesn't go nowhere, talking to the Raiders on the phone, talking to anybody on the phone.
Starting point is 00:43:59 They're going to talk. They're going to be able to have all options open. They're going to tell us, oh, no, right now he's not going nowhere. He could be willing and dealing, right, Now, it's none of our business. They did see him in conversation with somebody from Philly. Brother, that's what GMs do. Who else is he going to be at the moment?
Starting point is 00:44:15 The GM from Philly at that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So he's just a liar. No, no, no. He's not a liar. He's lying in. I mean, well.
Starting point is 00:44:24 If you're lying, you're a liar. Maybe, maybe he's not doing it. Listen, my coach told me this right here, though. At that exact moment, my coach told me to be, he said it in 25 years. No. He become a man. Master Bridge Builder. He said, but if you suck cock one time, you're a cock-sucker for a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Debo. My coach told me that. Let me tell you something. If he's not, you know what? He's actually not lying. At that very moment, they probably weren't talking about trading miles while you're asking that question right there. At this very moment, no.
Starting point is 00:44:56 At this very moment, Miles is on the team. We're not thinking about trading miles. He's telling the truth right now as the field. You could think your mind, your mind could change in five minutes. Once he leads to him, he's, oh, man, you know what? I'm thinking about actually maybe trading miles. he could change his mind okay
Starting point is 00:45:12 yeah they don't have to do you think the GMs is sitting there telling you the truth all the time when he said he if he wanted to trade miles
Starting point is 00:45:24 he couldn't have needed to make a contract adjustment means that he never said he didn't want to trade miles he just said he wouldn't adjust the contract I could have did it if I wanted to do it if I want It ain't always about what you say. It's about what you don't say.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yes. He could have did it. If you wanted to, you could have straighted him out. Okay. Okay. Because right now. Your boy, Andrew Berry, he says he'll spend more time with Ty Simpson. And it's wholly realistic for the Browns to add a young quarterback.
Starting point is 00:46:04 He said, Arlene would be if we do add. someone to the quarterback room, it would be someone who's a younger player most likely. Anyone we bring in at that spot on the roster, our thought is that they're competing. They're competing to play. They have something that we liken their skill set, and our expectation would be for them to work hard. So what I'm getting from that, Joe, is that he's saying that he believes Ty Simpson is good enough to compete with Shador Sanders and Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback position.
Starting point is 00:46:53 That's what I'm getting. That's what he said in the statement. That's what he said in the statement. So that's your GM that you say it was cooking a little bit. Like, like, I'm starting to think he was. might be cooking on the grill at McDonald's right now, Joe. Tell me something. What's going on, Joe?
Starting point is 00:47:13 Because I don't know if anybody in the NFL, NFL execs, annulus, commentators that said the man was even, he ain't even the top in the draft choice. Man, he, in a weak draft class, he ain't even the top quarterback. But there ain't no, Joe, what is he, Joe, what is he? He cooking. He cook, he cooking at McDonald's. Huh? Tell me what's going on, Joe.
Starting point is 00:47:36 What's going on? What's this? because I can read what he said and I didn't even got to read in between lines and ain't by what he didn't say he's about what he said. Joe, tell you, why are you so quiet, Joe? Come on, fight me.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Because I think with this one, I think he might be, it might be a smokescreen, you know, just trying to get other people to look at him higher, other people to look at Ty Simpson higher on their draft board. They cool or something?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Who? Him and Ty Simpson? What? No. What was the point of that? I don't know. Debo, honestly, with this one, I don't know. I don't know what Andrew Barry's talking about, okay?
Starting point is 00:48:21 Like, I don't know. I don't know why he would go spend more time with him. He must think that he's that good. So if he's going to bring him into the wrong, he thinks that he can compete with your door. What does that tell you about his judgment? You tell me, Joe. It's not, we're not on the same, we're not on the same page.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Every time, every, every, every decision that our GM makes, that doesn't mean that I got to sit here and blindly back it. I don't agree. I do not agree. Okay. So with what he's saying right here. But you said he was cooking. Is he still cooking or is he working at McDonald's in the back grill? Just putting the burger on set temperature.
Starting point is 00:49:02 It's still early. He didn't draft him yet. We still acting like the barrels picked the man up in the draft. He asked the man to question. He's going to spend some time with him. Okay, we'll see. Like, you got, spend some time with a lot. You're wasting time with somebody that you ain't go draft.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Don't have a potential, don't even want to look at just to do what, bro? You're going to do your due diligence. Do your homework. I'm not going to be mad at the man for looking at him. If he thinks he's a good quarterback, okay, study him, see what it is. If he drafts him, then we'll have a whole different conversation. But literally right now, I don't agree. I wouldn't be spending that much time with Ty Simpson if I was Andrew Barry.
Starting point is 00:49:37 if I were the gym for the Browns. I would, quarterback's good. We got DeShan, we already good. We got Chador here. We already drafted Dillon last year. We're trying to figure out what's going on. We got three. We're solid.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Tye? No, if I was the GM, but this is Andrew Barry, and that's why I said. This is what he said. I don't agree. I wouldn't be doing it. But he is. So I'm like, cannot get. Hopefully he probably thinks he's good.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Like everything he said, he might be throwing a smokescreen. I don't know. Probably not. You said, why? Does he know tie something? He probably he doesn't. So it's not a smokescreen. You're correct, Debo.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I don't know why he's doing it. I wouldn't. But I guess he likes him. That's the only time I bring out my cigar and rings is for like, all that good stuff. But you know, with second best to that and almost damn there is good. What? Browns in Cincinnati doing insane, stupid shit.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Oh, it's great. Oh, it's great. Listen, listen, we're going to just charge. We're acting like he drafted Ty Simpson up. So I'm not going to sit there and smack at like, no, I wouldn't have done this, but we'll see. We still got the draft coming. We'll see what he does. He's still, he's still, I'm still.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Is you drinking drinking? No, man, that's coffee. Did you, did you spike it with something? No, man, I need to. You look like you need a drink. You're stressing me out. I don't, Joe, I, Joe, listen. you was my brother, I do not mean to stress you out.
Starting point is 00:51:08 That's what I'm thinking. I didn't stress you out. I can't be in charge of how you react to the simple things that your GM is doing that you said was doing some cooking. And I told you, but look, he's boiling chicken. He's not boiling chicken because Ty Simpson is still a first round pick, though. People still got him going as a first rounder. You want him at Joe? You want him at your own?
Starting point is 00:51:35 You want him in your room? he's not he's not he's not bad i i i i i what i had joe you's the most not question to answer do whatever bro i asked you a simple question no because no i already said no because i like chador more i like chador more some other people might like tie and i don't think he's a bad quarterback he could still be a first round pick better better better you like him better than watson maybe he could come in and see what no we don't need him over here that's why we don't need him over here That's all I'm saying. Cleveland for the first time.
Starting point is 00:52:13 That's all you had to say, man. I feel like we don't need a quarterback for the first time. Say it with your chest. We don't need a quarterback right now. That's what I'm saying. I've been saying it. Poke that thing out, Joe. I lift weights.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I lift weights and we don't need a quarterback. Dang. Everybody's going to do that. Hey, man. You know, you know, hey, man. You know you my guy, man. Thank you, brother. My brother, man.
Starting point is 00:52:42 My brother from another. I got a thought of those. I'm getting some Bailey's in this coffee. Got me stressing. Got you stressing, man. Look here, man. After the NFL PA report cards came out, the training staff for the San Francisco 49ers decided to take action.
Starting point is 00:53:00 GM, John Lynch, said that the team dug deeper into the grades and what they could do to improve things. The club found out that players wanted more one-on-one attention. which led to them hiring three more physical therapists and investing nine million into hydro areas like cold plunges, pools, which had previously graded low. Joe, yes. The sermon said that right here.
Starting point is 00:53:28 He said, this is why the report cards work for organizations that aren't offended by the critique. Just look to improve, brother. Yes. Listen, it's simple. You know why? That is. You know what it is, Joe?
Starting point is 00:53:43 Why is that? John Lynch is a former player. Yes, he is. He knows that these report cards are real and have credibility. Mm-hmm. As a responsible GM, he said, hey, let me get this corrected. Let me improve because that makes sense to do it. But common sense ain't common no more.
Starting point is 00:54:07 You understand? Yeah. How do you feel about this, Joe? You like this. You love this. I love this. I love this. I love the report cards, Debo, because they're honest opinions, and they were actually getting things fixed because it's like you're not trying to shoot the messenger. You know you're in an organization. And if stuff is bad, it's bad. If it's good, it's good. We don't want to sit there and just give out fake stuff. It's like, oh, no,
Starting point is 00:54:32 food is good, like smooth. And especially people that played on different teams, you've been different places before. You've seen other organizations. You know how other people people are moving, you're like, okay, you know, this is nice, this is smooth, and just smooth grades. I love the fact that when teams, when really real things get done, the hot tubs, the cold tubs, we're not asking for, like, crazy things, we're asking for things that are really going to help us on the field with the production. You guys want us to be, we're your investment.
Starting point is 00:55:00 So if you want to take care of the investment, you're investing in, into us, you know what I'm saying, like taking care of our bodies, doing all of this stuff, make crowd therapies. It's nothing really like out of the ordinary. So I love when the report cards get addressed by the owners because it shows they're trying to take care of their investments. And it's when we're not asking for crazy things. So when they're throwing in nice stuff with the tubs and all that, I just see I love that that paying attention and that they're listening to what the players are asking for. So I'm all for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah, I'm 100% for this. You can't go wrong with this. It seems like to me that the NFL is only worried about the optics of, you know, how it looks, you know what I'm saying? They don't want to look like they don't care. They want to look like they care about the well-being of the players and all that. But the NFL only care about the bottom line, and that's them making money. That was just like when the whole player safety initiative started and the NFL got sued, I believe it was 2011.
Starting point is 00:56:08 They got sued for a class action lawsuit for concussions. But the rummending leans started in 2007 when Congress investigated the NFL over concussions. By 2008, it was more research that actually linked football to CTE. And guess what happened in 2009? They started finding the shit out of us. They started changing rules in the middle of the season. In the middle of a game, okay?
Starting point is 00:56:40 Why? Because it was going to be a problem about their money. Oh, for sure. And by 2001, what was it, 13 through 15, they ended up doing a bunch of settlements on it. So when it come down to it, it's about the money. When it start affecting the money, then things get changed. Ready for a different take on Formula One?
