So we greatly, greatly appreciate that.
Ocho, let's get right into it.
The Bills defeat the Dolphins 21-14.
The Bills pick off Tua to escape with a 21-14 win.
The Bills win the East for the
fourth consecutive year. They clinch
the number two seed and will host
the Steelers in the wildcard game next Sunday.
Because the Miami Dolphins
lost, they will now be the sixth seed
and travel to
Kansas City on Saturday.
Josh Allen, 30-38,
359, two touchdowns,
two horrible picks and an interception.
But nevertheless, they were able to overcome those mistakes.
Yeah.
Tua, 17 of 27, 173, a touchdown and a pick.
I want to know.
Hey, Tua, you still got those receipts?
Because I got mine.
I got mine right here, Ocho.
I got my receipt right here.
I knew you were going there.
Ocho, I got my receipts right here. Uh-uh, uh-uh, Ocho, I got a lot right here. Ocho. I got my receipt right here. I knew you were going there. Ocho, I got my receipt right here.
Uh-uh, uh-uh, Ocho.
I got a lot of receipts.
Hold on, Ocho.
I got all these receipts.
Got them all.
I kept them all.
Yeah.
I kept them all, Ocho.
Yeah.
I got all these receipts.
I'm like CVS.
You know, CVS, you go buy one thing from Q-Tip,
and you get a thing that come all the way out the door.
Yeah.
That's me.
I got all these receipts.
Hold on, hold on. I got some the receipts. Hold on. Hold on.
I got some more receipts for you.
You see, all
you had to do was just go
play. Or I keep receipts.
They say you're nothing without
Tyreek. You're nothing without this.
Okay, you had a game. Oh, you're
home field. All you had to do was win.
I want to hear what he got to say.
I hate, a part of me hates
that you and I are doing this live
because I can't hear what he's going to say.
Right.
But go ahead, Ocho.
I'm going to let you take it. I still got some more.
I'm going to think about this. I want to say this.
Obviously, you already know.
You played in divisions.
You understand. You played three teams that are very familiar with you.
You played three teams that know all your tendencies.
You play against three teams that know exactly what you're going to do,
even though you change the formations up.
And when you play them, you kind of do the same things with a wrinkle or two
and a wrinkle there or two or three plays that are different
than what you normally do.
Correct. That interception that just happened different than what you normally do. Correct.
That interception that just happened, they knew that was coming.
Yeah.
They knew that was coming based on formation recognition.
And you see it, how he jumped to the goddamn corner route
and you beating the goddamn ball to the goddamn receiver.
How you beating the receiver to the ball?
Because it's something you've already seen over and over and over
because he has to so he has to throw it so much anticipation right for the simple fact he doesn't
have a josh allen arm or patrick mahomes arm a guy that can just drive the football so they already
know he's gonna let the ball go right so once I see that receiver starting to get out of that break,
I'm gone.
You're out of there.
I ain't even worried
about no double move.
I ain't worried about him
giving me an out nod
and going to the post.
That's the last thing on my mind.
Because when I watch him
from film study,
we haven't seen that.
Right.
So why am I going to chase the goals?
That's what Alex Gill,
rest his soul,
our offensive line,
said we're not going to chase goals.
Right.
We're going to go by
what we see on tape.
And if they give us a wrinkle, we'll come to the sideline. We'll address it then. But we're not going to chase ghosts. We're going to go by what we see on tape, and if they give us a wrinkle, we'll
come to the sideline, we'll address it then.
But we're not chasing ghosts. We're not
going to say they're going to do something
in which we haven't seen them do.
So I haven't seen them run a double move
off that formation
in this area of the field. I haven't seen a
double move. So the
minute, and guess what? They
playing two, man. They under.
Oh, yeah.
Because where two are going?
Where are you going, Ocho?
You got to go to the corner.
You got to go to the corner. You got no choice.
You got to take the one-on-one.
It's the corner route.
So what's it safe to do?
Sit there, sit there, sit there.
I guarantee he probably didn't even,
he didn't probably get out of his motherfucking back belt.
He probably didn't even back belt.
No, because here's the thing, though, Ocho.
The fact of the matter is,
I got help underneath.
Right.
Because it's got to be a perfect throw.
Yeah.
Because when you play
what we call cover five with two men,
I got a corner inside that's underneath,
and then I'm over the top.
Yeah.
And if you miss,
and because he had drove so early on the route,
you can hit the safety in the chest.
Stupid early.
I mean, it doesn't make it any better.
Obviously, the situation, you got a minute.
I think it might have been a minute and 41 or whatever it might have been to get down the field.
You don't have any timeouts.
None.
And you got to throw towards the sideline.
So, obviously, that plays a key factor into, okay, I'm going to gamble.
I'm going to sit a little bit because I know they got to get the ball
and they got to get out of bounds.
But other than that,
man, listen,
I would have hoped,
I would have thought,
obviously, because
Josh Allen had two horrible,
horrible interceptions.
He was out there just playing
their throw-up, throw-up tackle.
He just...
Yes.
In the end zone.
He just letting them fly.
You know?
And he lost the fumble.
Yeah, that fumble too.
You would think we would have gotten more points out of some of those turnovers.
The Dolphins obviously weren't able to accomplish that.
Again, I'm happy for Josh, especially with all the turnovers.
All the turnovers he's had this entire goddamn season.
They would have made a goddamn buffet out of him if they had lost his game, obviously.
And there would have been a lot of questions
on his behalf as a quarterback.
Yeah, because, again,
he would have been smitten
by the interception, by the turnovers.
And that's the knock on him.
Nobody denies his talent.
He's big. He's 6'5", 250,
55 pounds. He can run.
He's very difficult. He's a more
athletic Ben Roethlisberger with a stronger arm.
I'm not saying he's better than Ben, but if you
look at him, big guy, mobile,
agile, difficult to
bring down. He has a rocket arm.
His arm is much more livelier
than Big Ben.
But at the end of the day, it's the turnovers.
He would be in the MVP
discussion if he didn't have 20 damn
turnovers. But because he has so many turnovers and they have directly attributed to some of those losses,
it's hard for the voters, even though he has great stats.
It's just hard to look. It's hard to overcome that. I don't care how many touchdowns he has.
When I look at the turnovers and they look at when he throws them or when he has those turnovers.
How do I overlook that as a voter?
You can't.
And again, Ocho, again, Tyreek had a critical job.
He hit him on the numbers on the dead run.
He hit him on the run, Ocho.
Yeah.
He hit him on the run.
Now, he swore up and down.
He got great hands.
You get an opportunity to prove it. He got great hands. You get an opportunity to prove it.
He got so upset.
I said, I'm not saying you're not a great receiver.
I said, you're more of a body catcher than a hand catcher.
That's okay.
You get the job done.
But you're not as fluid.
Like, I look at Devontae Adams as a hand catcher.
Right.
That's what I look at him as.
That's not to say that Tyreek isn't great.
I mean, running backs.
Some guys have great speed.
Some guys have great vision.
Some guys have great change of direction.
Right.
But I'm just saying,
and so when you,
when you,
when we evaluate a person,
let's just say a defensive,
a back, a backer.
Right.
An edge rusher.
Well, he has more bend.
The other guy's more of a bull rusher.
He's more of an arm over.
He's more of a rip.
All I'm saying, I'm just giving you different things that one guy does better than the other.
That's not to try to knock it, but you took it as a knock.
Bro, you're going to the Pro Bowl.
You're an all-pro.
You're getting 1,500, 1,600 yards.
So clearly you're doing something right.
But when you evaluate, you take two cars.
They're both luxury models.
You have to like something about one more than the other, Ocho.
Right, right.
That's all I'm saying.
And that's the funny thing when you talk about the top receivers.
I'm talking about the very top.
I'm talking about the tier one, the cream of the crop, the
creme de la creme. They all get the job done
the same way. They all get the job done,
but they all skin the cat
differently. They all skin the cat
differently at the end of the day.
At times, you have to be
critical of those players at the very
top because from the naked eye to
the casual fan, they don't know
what separates one. It's up to us to be able to say casual fan, they don't know what separates one.
And it's up to us to be able to say,
well, these are the pros and cons of each person,
even though they get the job done the right way on Sundays.
So I'm a better route runner.
Yeah.
So I'm a better run after the catch.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, you're getting the job done.
Right.
But when we evaluate, I mean, it's like an evaluator. When you're getting the job done right but when we evaluate i mean it's like an
evaluator when you evaluate the player and you decide well i'm gonna take this guy over that
guy right right okay why did you take said guy over said guy well we like the way he transitioned
we like the way he gets in and out of breaks we like the separation we like to change the direction
we like the way he high points the ball he catches catches the ball well. That's all those things.
As an edge rusher, what do you like?
His first step is
everything. His first
10, the way he can bend,
the way he can change direction.
All those things go into
it. And so as you and I,
I'm an analyst and I'm looking at it, I'm
trying to tell the fan that just,
okay, catch him, oh, he caught a pass or he scored a it. I'm trying to tell the fan that just, okay, catch him, touch him.
Oh, he caught a pass or he scored a touchdown.
Our job is to tell you why he caught a pass, why he scored a touchdown.
What did he do in that situation that allowed him to get open?
Right.
Why was he able to catch the ball in traffic?
Why was he able to do certain things?
You look at a Justin Jefferson, one of the three,
I think he's only the third
guy to ever have at least a thousand
yards in ten or fewer games.
The man missed seven games this year, man.
The man missed seven
fucking games this year, man. Still got a
goddamn thousand. Yes!
And so when you look at, Ocho, just
look at the guys that went to the Pro Bowl.
All of them are totally different.
None of those guys are the same. Yeah, most definitely are totally different. None of those guys are the same.
Most definitely.
None of those guys are the same.
But they get the job done.
Congratulations
to the Buffalo Bills. But you know what?
It might be a blessing in disguise
because I think
clearly to me, and I think
to a lot of people that watch the game, study
the game, Kansas City isn't the same Kansas City
as what we're used to seeing, especially heading into the playoffs.
Mahomes has had a down year.
The receivers haven't gotten it done.
Offensive line, the penalties, the giving up of the sacks.
Like I said, Mahomes hadn't got it done.
So it's going to be very, very interesting.
Because I think Miami, the thing that Miami can do because they are explosive, their defense has been hampered.
You lose Jalen Phillips.
You lose Bradley Chubb.
Those are your pressure guys.
Both of those guys, I think, had 95 pressure.
Both of those guys are your sack guys.
So now you're kind of Van Greencourt.
I think that's how you say his name, 43.
He went out. I don't know if he came back's how you say his name. 43. He went out.
I don't know if he came back in,
but I know he got Nick and went out.
Christian Wilkins is a monster.
I play really,
really well.
Very good pressure on the quarterback.
He's great against the run and he's a good interior alignment and
pressure in the quarterback.
But is that enough?
Consider,
but it just might be given the offensive line that they're going to be
facing next week, next Saturday night on Peacock.
So I'm anxious to see that matchup, to see how it turns out, because I think this is the first time we can honestly say since Patrick Mahomes has become the starter that going into the playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs aren't in favor.
Yeah. Yeah. You're right. It probably is a blessing in disguise. Obviously, the one thing, when I think about the Chiefs defensively,
and Ladarius Sneed matches up very well against Tyreek.
I think he does somewhat of a great job.
Were they playing them early?
I think they played them in Germany or where did they play?
I think they might have been in Germany as well.
I think it was Germany.
Ladarius Sneed is one of them.
They jumped out to a 21-0 lead
and they ended up holding on 21-14.
And I think he's one of the few players I've
seen that actually get up in Tyreek's face
that chooses to challenge him
and really not care.
He plays very, very, very physical with
young Bull. He plays very physical with him.
Jump jamming, pressing,
trying to do all
he can to frustrate him.
And I'm sure he's going to try to disrupt that timing
in the offense again
because Tua is a timing thrower.
He's a red thrower.
Yes.
Timing that offense.
So I'm sure that's going to be
an issue and a problem.
So they're going to probably
have to move Reek around
and find some mismatches for him
to get that team going offensively.
I think Jalen Waddell
will also be back.
Yeah.
Will Mostert be back?
They do have A-Chan back.
So it's interesting to see because if I'm not mistaken,
I don't think A-Chan played when they were overseas.
Obviously, Mostert was there.
He was out with his knee.
He was out with his knee.
He's liked to play a lot of two-man.
And I'm not really concerned.
You can play that coverage when you don't have
a running quarterback. You would never play that
coverage against Lamar or Justin
Fields. They got to turn their back. You can't
do that. Yeah.
I'm not really concerned about Tua. I play
that coverage against Tua. I'm not worried about him going
anywhere. And if he does, he's not
going to get very far. So you play
that coverage against quarterbacks that you don't think
that can hurt you with their legs. So it's going to be very far. So you play that coverage against quarterbacks that you don't think that can hurt you with their legs.
So it's going to be interesting to see.
The Chiefs defense has played outstanding
all year long. They've been very good.
I was happy to see Chris Jones
get that sack, get that 1.25.
They were cutting up.
Yeah, man. They were happy for him.
A guy that plays
like CJ does,
you know he gives you everything he got every game.
Yeah.
And he had to take a little reduction and they put it in the form of incentive.
Right.
But that was supposed to be his money anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was supposed to be his money anyway.
But he had to hold out.
They chose not to pay him, right?
Yeah, exactly.
So he on the market.
He'll be a free agent.
Oh, he will.
So it's going to be, are they going to franchise him?
I think because of him, I got to sign. I going to be are they going to franchise him? I think because of
him, I got to sign.
I got to resign. I got to.
I don't know. I got to resign.
They like to play
games. Listen, why not sign
him the first time? Why not sign
him the first time this year when you know what you get?
Why the man got to hold out all the way
to goddamn training camp just
to get his money and you still don't get the job done.
He has a hell of a season again
to show you his worth
and his value.
Going to the Pro Bowl, yeah.
So listen,
if you don't want to sign him,
let the man go.
Let the man walk.
Let him get what he deserves
because they're going to open up.
They're going back at the brink.
I can't let him go for nothing.
You can't let him go for nothing.
All right.
Well, do what you need to do.
I mean, the draft is coming
up you know all i'm saying we're in this relationship now if you go over there with
him i ain't gonna play no alimony i ain't gonna play no nothing what you gonna do you want to be
over there with him if you want her you got to take on all the responsibilities well listen
if you don't want me how you gonna get mad and want something in return
when it's time for me
to go elsewhere
I don't
I might not
but I don't want nobody else
to have you
see
I tell you
I tell you
you know that thing
yeah
I know how it works
that's crazy
that's crazy how that works
that's exactly how it works
yeah
that's crazy
listen I don't want you
but I don't want nobody else
to have you
I think you're gonna resign it
he's been too good.
He's the only guy on that defense that you really fear,
especially with that front seven.
He's the guy that if he singles up, he's going to hit your quarterback.
Yeah, every time.
He's the guy.
Every time.
They got some great players, but their great players are reliant on him.
He gets the double team and not everybody else.
He's the one guy that when you're drawing up,
when we come in that meeting room on Wednesday,
he's the guy
that circles. If we don't stop
him, we can't win this game.
We can't run our offense. We have
to find a way to neutralize 95.
So that's what the
game plan is for Miami. Find a way
to, where is he at? Identify where 95
is. Okay, we're going to go from there.
That's how you're going to do
that. But congratulations
Buffalo Bills. Had an up and down
season, but when
you pushed all the chips to the middle of the table
Ojo, and you had to have it, you
went on the road, and you won in a
hostile environment. You won the division
for the fourth consecutive time.
And there are still those questions. The Dolphins
have beat one team with a winning record
in 2023.
One.
Yeah.
One.
One.
Ojo, those are the facts.
Yeah.
I know you don't remember Dragnet.
There was a guy named Joe Friday.
And all the things he would always say,
just the facts, man.
All that other stuff you're talking, just give me the facts. It wasn't Dragnet like there was a guy named Joe Friday. And all the things he would always say, just the facts, man. All that other stuff you're talking, just give me the facts.
It wasn't Dragnet like a detective commercial like Columbo.
It was. Joe Friday. Just like Columbo.
Yeah, I remember Dragnet.
Joe Friday, yeah.
Yeah, I remember Dragnet. Okay.
Just the facts, man. That's why I just gave you.
The Miami Dolphins would beat one team.
That was the Dallas Cowboys
that had a winning record.
And that was in week 16.
So, congratulations.
Miami, you got a very short week.
You played Sunday night and you got to get on the road
and get on the plane and you got to go to the Midwest.
Don't know the weather.
Kansas City, probably going to be cold.
Probably going to be cold.
Probably in the 40s. That ain't bad, though.
That ain't bad. I like 40s. That ain't bad, though. That ain't bad.
I like 40s.
That's football weather.
Is it an afternoon game or is it a night game?
Or in the afternoon, ain't going to be 40 at night.
Right.
Okay, let's say about 30.
30 ain't that bad.
That's football weather.
You know what the temperature is right now?
Right, About 30.
Two degrees. Where?
In Buffalo? In Kansas City.
In Kansas City. Come on, man. I don't even get that cold
in Kansas City like that. Two degrees.
You said about two degrees
because of the wind chill. I'm talking about two degrees.
I don't care what it's because.
They say, oh, man. You know what they say?
Man, it's that
humidity.
It don't matter. 120 degrees and twenty degrees of one hundred and twenty degrees.
I don't care if there's no humidity, some humidity, dry heat, no heat.
One twenty is one twenty. Oh, man, the wind, bro.
After you get to a certain point, you just cold. Your body don't know the difference.
You think your body know the difference between zero degrees and minus five no absolutely no it's your cold yeah so uh a play says hey mr sharp
what's wrong with the dolphins is it injuries or just bad performing players uh or bad play calling
well look everybody's have everybody has injuries yeah Some teams have more injuries than others.
I mean, losing Bradley Chubb, who you paid a ton of money to get after the quarterback.
Losing Jalen Phillips, who you paid a ton of money to go there and get after the quarterback.
That hurt.
Because now you're asking your back end to hold up a little longer
because it's going to take you a little longer to get to the quarterback.
But it comes going to take you a little longer to put forget to the quarterback right but it comes down to this your best players have to play their best when you need them to
yeah and this was a game you needed your best players tua you needed tyreek you needed those
guys to play their best right and that didn't happen to tyreek had a touchdown. But Tua didn't have a good game. Tua was 17-27, 173,
a touchdown and two picks.
That's not enough.
Given the type of season
that Tyreek has had,
you needed him to be somewhere,
Ocho, 10, 12 catches,
a buck 50, buck 75,
two touchdowns.
He needed to have his thumbprint
on this game,
and it wasn't.
You know, and I had half the time with the young fella, young boy,
that just asked about what's the problem with the Dolphins.
I don't think ain't nothing wrong with the Dolphins.
Ain't nothing wrong with the Dolphins.
I think the problem is, and the issue is, as I always say,
listen, the Saints played the Falcons today.
You saw what the Saints did to the Falcons?
What, 41, 41?
It was some crazy.
Yeah, 48.
It's a division opponent.
That's the kind of game the Dolphins need to have today.
They need to make a statement.
Listen, that's my home team.
That's home team.
I'm from Liberty City.
I want to see the Dolphins win and get into the playoffs.
I want to be able to talk shit, too.
I want to be able to counter for the receipts that Tua talks about
when I get on with you.
Right now, I'm at a loss of words and there's really nothing.
You know, I love to defend everybody.
I love to defend everybody and I actually can't tonight.
I can't.
I just can't.
I can't even defend my Eagles.
There's nothing I can do.
Everything you say, everything you said this entire year has goddamn come true
if you really think about it
like think about it
think about it
and I'm trying to defend
everybody tooth and fucking nail
week in and week out
the best way I can
but now
my back is kind of against the wall
and there's nothing I can do
to me
or for me
I think
like you just said
the Dolphins going into Kansas City
Tyreek Hill has to put his thumbprint on the game and take it over for me, I think, like you just said, the Dolphins going into Kansas City,
Tyreek Hill has to put his thumbprint on
the game and take it over.
The way Michael...
Go ahead.
I was just going to say, the way Michael Jordan
take over a game, and the way
LeBron can take over a game, like, you know,
I'm going to put this on my back, Tyreek got to do
that. He got to go to the offensive staff, man.
Move me all over the place.
Do whatever you need to do.
Right now, it's 34 degrees in Kansas City.
Okay, I was right.
It's supposed to be two degrees on Saturday night in Kansas City.
Oh, coming up?
Yes.
Yes.
Hold on.
Wait a minute, Gunk.
Like, listen, I'm not the weatherman you know yeah how is it
gonna go from 34 and in a week be two degrees kansas city don't even get that cool i can see
if it was buffalo or new england i don't know yeah i could clearly you never played in kansas
city but i played in kansas city kansas city get cold as hell yeah it does two degrees two
it get a little colder than. And that ground is hard, too.
But that's... It used to have turf, but it's grass now.
It gets hard there.
Let's revisit Aiden's plays.
He said, what's wrong with the injury?
Bad performance player or the bad play calling?
It's just your expectations.
Say hi.
The Dolphins have been like this all year.
They've been like this all year they've been like this all year
it's just that you had
expectations of you thought
that at some point in time
there's nothing wrong with the Dolphins
everything's going to work out
I remember I would tell you something
man we're only five weeks into the season
we're only ten weeks
into the season
so here we are the regular season is over
and we still have those same questions.
And so the fans, the expectations haven't changed,
although they've seen the Dolphins do the exact same thing.
And so they're expecting to get a better result when they haven't seen that,
especially against a team with a winning record,
with the exception of the Cowboys.
All the other teams that have winning records, they beat them.
They beat the Dolphins.
And so the fans' expectations are something that the Dolphins' performance
hadn't measured up with all year.
Right.
The Dolphins' performance and fans' expectations have never been right here.
Yeah, they haven't aligned yet.
No, they haven't. They haven't aligned yet. No, they haven't.
Geos 23 asks,
as a quarterback,
would you rather have hands, receiver,
or a body receiver?
I want a guy to see when I throw in the ball,
he's going to catch it.
That's it.
That's all that matters.
Whether you catch with your body,
whether you catch with your hands,
you think everybody does it different
as long as you get the job done at the end of the day. That's all that matters. Whether you catch with your body, whether you catch with your hands, you think everybody does it different as long as you get the
job done at the end of the day. That's
all that matters. That's all
that matters. The weather
determines a lot.
I understand that when the weather gets
the inclement weather's coming to a play,
you try to body catch it,
but at some point in time, you're going to ask your
receiver to go up a high point of the ball. You're going
to ask him to make a catch in traffic.
And that's where you really earn your money.
You can have anybody.
I mean, anybody can go catch the football.
But in the fourth quarter, with three minutes left in the game, Ocho, and it's 36.
Does he want the ball?
Can I count on you to throw you the ball?
I don't want to aim, man.
I don't want to hit on my bad. I don't want to Hey man I don't want to hit no my bad
I don't want to hear about a double
I'm coming to you
I'm going to give you an opportunity
To make a play
Yeah
Yeah
Shit
Mother fucker
Forget the double
It's third and sixth
In the strong safety in the box
For run support
And it's man to man
Safety in the middle of the field
Bump and run on the outside
It's third and sixth And we call your number What you going to do And it's man to man, safe in the middle of the field. Bump and run on the outside.
It's third and six.
And we call your number.
What you going to do?
Can you make a play?
Can you get open?
Everybody watching.
We know where the ball going.
We know where the ball going.
What you going to do?
That's when you make your money.
When the quarterback called a play,
it's like church.
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Okay.
That's a good one.
Okay.
That's a good one.
Hey,
hey,
when Sam say,
hey T,
I'm coming to you.
Yeah.
It don't matter.
I don't,
I don't see,
as a matter of fact, I don't see anybody out there.
All I know is he called a play.
He told me he was coming to me.
I'm going to get open.
I'm going to be open.
I'm getting open.
I'm getting open.
I don't care if I got to push somebody down, kick somebody down.
I'm going to get that rock.
I'm going to get it.
Oh, no.
But this is because this is why.
This is how you become who you are.
In moments like this, I've been very fortunate.
You know, we had 36 in Pittsburgh. We had lost momentum who you are. Yeah. In moments like this, I've been very fortunate. You know,
we had 36 in Pittsburgh.
We had lost more minimum of the game.
Right.
John called a play.
We didn't even have that play in all.
We didn't have that play in that week.
Right.
We had run the play earlier in the season.
Right.
But we hadn't run that play for like five or six weeks.
Mike was a type of coach that if he put a play in,
he might've put that thing in in preseason.
He called it in the game.
He expect you to know what to do.
Bro, we ain't practice this.
Right.
Hey, I'm looking back at John.
I wish somebody could actually go get the footage
and see how I throw my arms up asking John,
what do you want me to do?
And he yells, go get open.
No problem.
I'll be right back.
I'll be right back. I'll be right back.
When I come back,
I'm going to have the ball.
Right.
In the game.
That's it.
That's what you got to have.
That's the mindset
you got to have, Ojo.
Check this out.
There's something
that happened in the game.
The Falcons,
the New Orleans Saints
were up 41-17.
I saw that.
Dennis Allen called
victory formation.
Victory formation.
The ball's on like the one or two yard line.
Like the one yard line.
Victory formation is the quarterback takes the snap.
He takes the knee.
Right.
Game over.
The damage has been done.
We proved our point.
Jameis would never change.
This explains why Jameis Winston is not in Tampa.
This is what explains why Jameis Winston will never be what people wanted him to be because of this.
What?
The coach called victory formation.
He said it was a team decision.
What team?
There was no defensive players on the field.
The team is a team.
So the team is just offense now?
No, I mean the offense that was on the field at the time said,
you know what, we want to get a touchdown for brother Jamal.
That's not what it is.
You see?
You see?
You see what happens when you go rogue?
Now, this explains why Baker Mayfield was basically able to take the same team
that Jameis Winston has, the same receivers, pretty much the same defense,
Levante David, Devin White, Shaq Barrett,
a lot of those same players, and make the playoff, and Jameis couldn't.
So I have a question.
I got an answer.
So you don't agree?
You don't like the call that he made?
Had I been on that field, when Jameis did that, I would have jumped off sides.
On purpose.
And backed it up.
Because there's a difference between winning.
You see the mindset?
That's why Jameis isn't a winner in the NFL.
You have a winner's mindset.
You have winners.
You have losers.
It's really simple.
The coach said victory. We up 41-17.
And because Jamal Williams hadn't had a touchdown.
Now, you look.
Oh, he put his blood, sweat, and tears.
So, what about week one?
Week two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 19,, oh, he put his blood, sweat, and tears. So what about week one? Week two, three,
four, five, six, seven, eight, 19, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16. So for 17 weeks, he ain't put no blood, sweat, and tears in it.
That's why.
He hadn't scored.
You know what? I don't know.
Can we take a listen? Hold on.
Let's listen to Jameis.
Let's let Jameis explain it himself.
Well, I apologize to DA because the play was victory.
But I also explained to DA that it was a team decision.
And I think when you have a team morale, and I ask the guys, I say, guys, what do you want to do?
We know how much Jamal means to this team.
And I understood from DA's perspective.
So I give him that.
But DA didn't condone that at all.
You know, he didn't.
However, we decided as a team to do it,
and, man, we got an interception to the one-yard line.
Yeah.
You know, like, so if we would have scored,
it still would have been disrespectful.
Right.
You know, so.
Tyron wasn't in on it, was he?
No, Tyron was not in on it.
No, I'm just kidding.
It was an offensive team discussion.
However, when you return the ball to the one-yard line,
you have the opportunity.
We just had the opportunity, and we decided.
Now you see why they went and got Derek Carr.
With Jameis Winston on the roster, that's why.
And you're paying $40 million.
That's why.
No.
We, he said,
D.A. said victory.
But we made a collective decision.
Right.
That's the difference
between winners and losers.
Sometimes,
your coach calls something.
Sometimes your coach
will call something.
And the play come in
and the quarterback,
you know what, y'all?
I don't really like that.
I'm going to improvise
and I'm going to do this.
That's the starting quarterback.
That's Brady.
That's Manning.
That's Mahomes.
That's Burrow.
That's not a backup quarterback
in a victory formation situation, Ocho.
And you know it.
That's why Jameis Winston
doesn't win in the NFL.
Hold on, man.
The point of the game is to score as many points as possible.
You're on the one with our-
Come on, Ocho.
Ocho is 41-17.
Oh, 41-17?
So why'd he call victory formation?
If the objective is to score as many points as possible,
why'd he call victory?
Let me ask you a question.
Yes.
It was 41-17 before they scored?
What was the score? Before.
Before they scored. Yes.
So what's the difference?
Hold on. If there was no difference,
why did he call victory formation?
Add in another seven points? I mean...
If the objective is to score
as many points as possible, why didn't
he call a play? Why didn't
Dennis Allen send a play in?
Well, you know the coaches pack.
The coaches have a pack.
They're unwritten rules.
There ain't no pack.
Oh, Joe.
I'm just asking.
No, talk about the coaches pack.
Let me tell you.
Why didn't Dennis Allen send a play in?
Did you hear what I said?
The unwritten rules of football.
The unwritten rules that the coaches have.
Never run the scoreboard up.
So what's the unwritten rules for quarterback?
Huh?
What's the unwritten rules for quarterback?
Oh, you know, I don't know about that. I play receiver. Well, how do you know about the coaches? You ain't never been no, you know, I don't know nothing about that.
I play receiver.
Well, how do you know about the coaches?
You ain't never been no coach.
No, I ain't never been no coach,
but I seen coaches come off the sideline
and almost getting in fistfights, NFL games.
Oh, so you ain't never seen no quarterback?
So in your time of playing,
how many times have a quarterback
gone against victory formation
and did something that wasn't called?
Mm-hmm. Hey, what about Dan Marino with the fake spike? On the Jets. and did something that wasn't called.
Hey, what about Dan Marino with the fake spike on the Jets?
Fake spike and remember that?
They were down.
Oh, they were loose.
They were down in the game.
He faked them out and threw a touchdown.
Yeah.
I think it was Ingram.
Wasn't it Ingram?
I think it was Ingram.
Yeah, I don't know. You know, it's funny.
I haven't,
I really haven't seen
the situation happen that much
or that often, honestly.
It's never happened on show.
Okay.
That's the first time
of everything.
I, you see it as a bad thing.
You see it as a bad thing.
I don't see it as a problem.
If I'm Dennis Allen
and I'm the coach,
there's no way
Jameis Winston's
in that locker room next season.
Damn.
Huh? No way. And I don't that locker room next season. Damn! Huh?
No way. And I don't want him on my team. Are you serious?
No way. No way, no how.
You can't win with that. You overreacting
a little bit, man. Come on, man.
That's the type of guy, you see?
That's the type of guy
that will get a small contingent
that's weak-minded
to follow him.
That's why he can't win.
You ask yourself.
You don't think for one second like me and Jameis.
I don't like where you're going with this, baby.
I love you.
I love you to death, but I don't like where you're going with that.
Jameis is a good quarterback.
He's a good quarterback that hasn't been superior or great. He's a good quarterback that hasn't been superior or great.
He's a good quarterback that hasn't been superior or great.
You're not asking the questions.
Ask yourself why.
Why can't you make the playoffs with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin?
Both guys make the Pro Bowl.
When you got Levante David, you got Shaq Barrett, you got Devin White.
Why can't you make the playoffs?
Because you throw 33 touchdowns with 30 turnovers.
That's why.
I would not want Jameis Winston on my team.
He has a loser's mentality.
It ain't no what we decided.
Who left you in charge?
You a backup.
Since when does a backup get to make effing rules?
But, Uncle, you being a little savage.
You being a little savage, a little hard on your bull right now, man.
No, Ocho.
Ocho.
I just believe there's a right and a wrong way to do everything.
Right.
That is the wrong way.
If Dennis Allen wanted him to score, he would have sent a
play in. He said
he took a knee. He said
victory. That means we take a knee.
Had I been in the game,
I would have jumped off sides.
I'm just telling you what I would have done.
I'm not, listen.
You would have jumped off sides for real? Absolutely.
Absolutely.
I tell you what I did. You know what? would have jumped off the side for real? Absolutely. Absolutely. But again,
if you don't,
I'll tell you what I did.
You know what?
We were at,
I was in Baltimore.
Yes, sir.
The Super Bowl.
Brian Billick
didn't have no rules.
We had no curfew
and no bed check.
Brian Billick says,
I'm going to treat you
like a man.
Yeah.
He says,
all I ask
is that you ride
from the hotel to the practice facility to and from on the team bus.
Guess what?
We got some dudes from Tampa.
My parents are going to pick me up and I'm riding.
I say, no, F you not.
I say, Brian gave us one specific rule.
He said, we're going to ride to and from practice on the team bus.
You will not get your ass in that car with your parents.
That will not happen.
Guess what happened?
They got their ass on that team bus.
If your parents want to get you, they can come to the hotel, get you,
and you can go wherever you want to go.
But you're not going to do that.
That's what leadership is.
Anybody can leave in a moment of greatness.
And when it's easy, you see it was easy for Jameis to do what he did.
Oh, man, that's your, no, no, no, no, no, no.
But when times got tough, when he was in Tampa, how did he do, Ocho?
When times got tough in Tampa, you won't tell the people how he did.
Why?
Because when it got tough, he did things his own way.
Can't win like that.
You never can. You never that. You never can.
You never could.
You never will.
There's a reason why.
Everybody say, man,
Jameis good.
They went out and spent money
on Derek Carr.
Why, Ocho?
You don't have, why?
Yeah.
Marcus Aurelius said,
you ask each particular thing.
You ask the who, the what,
the when, the where, and why.
And then you'll have your ass.
Why?
I like James.
James has always had a winning mentality.
It ain't about like.
He's always had a winning mentality.
Any quarterback.
I like ice cream.
I ain't eating it at midnight.
Any quarterback has always had a winning mentality.
He always does things the right way.
That's not true.
He always carries himself the right way. He He always does things the right way. That's not true. He always carries himself the right way.
He's always conducted himself the right way.
Now, this is one of the few times
when it comes to someone's play,
I can't critique someone's play.
I remember the season.
You're more than qualified to do that.
I know I'm more than qualified.
He had a great season,
but the turnovers hampered him.
Why?
The turnovers were magnified.
How? Why?
But he was slinging that rock, though.
How many games
did he cost his team with turnovers? That 30-30,
he was slinging that thing. Yeah.
30-30. Tommy Boy
came in the following year, right?
And won the Super Bowl with the same
roster he had.
Baker Mayfield with basically the same roster that he had.
Got one division.
Yeah.
Yeah, but listen, I just, I don't know. Either you're going to allow the coach to lead and you follow him
or you have nothing.
Name something where there's not a leader.
In business, in military, what is it where you don't have a leader?
And if you don't follow the leader, tell me the success that you're going to have.
I feel you.
I didn't know you would think like this.
I didn't know you would feel like this about it, though.
Let me ask you a question.
So Ocho says, you know what, guys?
Me and your mom are going out.
And don't nobody go nowhere.
And your daughter said, well, we made an executive decision.
We made a decision.
The other kids wanted to go to the movies.
Or they wanted to go get something to eat.
Right.
How you feeling about that, Ocho?
You cool with that?
So, me and Real, we going out, right?
You said don't leave the house.
Okay.
And they decide to leave the house anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah, but we got a little issue.
Wow.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no.
That's not what you said earlier.
We got a little issue.
He made a decision.
For team morale.
She said, my brothers and sisters, I want my brothers and sisters to look at me a certain way and feel a certain type of way about me.
So this is what I did.
I know what you said, but this is what I did.
Because I'm in charge.
Why not?
You know what? That's a good one right there too.
Now you got to have a goddamn good damn reason why you did what you did.
You got to have a good goddamn reason why you did
what you did.
Because the Lord was saying we wanted...
Were your brothers and sisters hungry?
No.
I got 11 kids, so
it's a whole bunch
of different excuses they can come up with.
There ain't no excuses. Because if
you tell your kids that they're not
allowed to do something and they do it, there's not
an excuse they can give me unless there's a
life or death situation. There
is no way. Yeah.
Hey, that's a good one. You know, what's funny is
I didn't think you would feel
that bad about this
or feel the way you actually feel.
And to hear you saying some of the things you're saying,
that's like, oh, shit, Unc pissed.
He don't like that shit.
When I saw it on Twitter, I saw it on Twitter, and I looked.
I said, oh, man, that's really dope to get Young Bull,
to get him that little touchdown or whatever it is,
whatever the reason behind it is. That man had 17 dope to get young bull you know to get him that little touchdown or whatever it is that you know whatever the reason
behind it is
that man had
that man had 17 weeks
to get a touchdown
yeah
the offense
the way the offense
went it just
he wasn't able to get it
so they had
they have no
goal to goal situation
they have no first
and goal from the one
the whole year
and then when I
looked at it right
when I looked at
looked at the tweets
when I looked at
the comments
and I was like
oh man and I said like, oh, man.
And I said, the caption I put was,
you know what, there's an unruly football now.
You don't run the scoreboard up on your opponent.
When you have the opportunity to kneel the ball
or run the clock out, you do so.
The whole chat, man, fuck so-and-so.
It's the Falcons.
We don't care nothing about them people.
Run the scoreboard up.
And the point of the game is
to continue to score as many points as you can.
And if you're on the field and playing defense, stop it.
Stop it.
So it's like, damn, well, everybody agreeing on Twitter.
So I'm thinking you was going to have the same kind of take.
If the clock ain't hit zero, you got to stop it.
So I'm just telling you.
So now, next time, I'm going to take a cheap shot
at you
we playing football right?
so imagine what happened
when you take a victory formation
you remember how everybody was up in arms
when Michael Bennett
went hard
and got his
you remember everybody
what's the one rule we playing football right?
so under no situation so now you get ready to take Oh, that's right. That's right. You remember everybody? What's the one rule? We playing football, right? Yeah.
So under no situation, so now you get ready to take it.
You take one step and you just like, hey, we take it and do far off and hit you.
You will be like, oh, man.
Okay, that's cool.
No, you're going to be mad because you said a victory.
That's a, hey, bro, we going down.
Hey, I'm going down, bro.
We good.
I done got my chin strap unbuttoned.
I done unfastened my shoulder pads.
Hey, I done untook the tape off my hand. good. I done got my chin strap unbuttoned. I done unfastened my shoulder pads. Hey, I done untook the tape off my hand.
Normally, I done got my gloves.
Hey, I got my gloves in my waist.
Roma said, Ocho, you're missing the point.
This speaks to how a team is run.
Either players don't give a F about the coaching decision or the head coach is a liar.
He said it.
Even before Jameis said it.
He said the victory formation
and Jameis wanted to get
the guy a touchdown.
He said it.
Did the coach have a reaction yet?
Ain't nothing he can do.
It was done.
I know, but I'm saying
after the fact.
What do you think?
I got a reaction.
He ain't going to be back
on his team.
That's my reaction.
Come on. That's how you feel. What do you think the coach is going to to be back on his team. That's my reaction. Come on. I'm telling you. That's how
you feel. What do you think the coach is going to say? You think the
coach cares? The coach is upset. He's upset, Ocho.
You think so? Because when your kids
do things that
you've asked them not to do,
that's a reflection on you.
That tells me you got no control over
your kids. When kids
are yelling and screaming on the plane or in the airport
or in the grocery store, you
looking at the kid or you looking at the parents?
Well, I have kids. I'm kind of
looking at the kids. Because sometimes kids
are kids and all of them ain't going to behave and all of them
ain't going to listen. That's just being
realistic. Well, I'm just telling what
people say. Get your kids under control.
I did not pay $2,000
for first class to hear your kid cry. God, did you pay $2,000 for first class to hear your kid cry
yeah
did you pay $2,000
no I'm just saying
that's what
that's what people
oh I'm running around
the grocery store
I don't have time
to be dodging kids
this is not an obstacle course
your kid's running
through the grocery store
and I gotta be an obstacle
drive like I'm on
an obstacle course
to miss them with the buggy
right
uh
Kairu said, you don't know
the context, though. The players don't really
respect D.A. That's the problem.
That's why you're not winning.
See, you don't understand. That's why you're not
winning. I don't think that's the issue,
though. I mean, listen, a fan saying
oh, they don't really...
Everybody, every coach, every player,
you know, they respect their coach. Come on, man.
He's from the outside talking. I'm just going by what he said. Kyro said, D.A. said, you know, they respect their coach. Come on, man. He's from the outside.
I'm just talking about what he said.
He's not a –
They don't respect the A.
It's been that way.
There's something going on between the player and the coaching staff on the Saints.
Yeah.
Jameis took it.
So, only two people.
Jameis did what he did.
Well, I guess the offensive line because they had block, because normally everybody just take one step,
you touch each other, hey, man, hey, good game, stay
healthy, hey, we'll see y'all next time,
hey, good luck, man, hey,
what you got going on, man, hey, congratulations, you got
married, you had a kid, whatever the case
may be, tell you, if you know the person really
well, tell your mom, your dad, hello, tell
the wife, hey, tell the missus, hello,
you out the door.
Ocho, Ocho, I was not the greatest player.
But the one thing that people that played on the team would tell y'all was all about the team.
We're going to do it the right way.
It ain't going to be no uprising.
No, that ain't going to happen.
No, we're going to do things the right way.
I was in college, Ocho.
And you know, I was in Savannah State.
We ain't got no training staff
like Alabama. We ain't got no,
you know, we ain't with the regular students.
Okay, the team
talked, well, they got mad because
we only got limited supply, so we, you know,
they give us what they got. Now, mind you,
Mr. Hubbard, who's head of the
kitchen, who's the head of the cafeteria,
he would give us steaks on Friday.
Right.
They mad, talking about, man,
I'm tired of eating the same thing every day.
Sharp, come, come.
Hey, this is how they approached me.
You don't believe I'm lying.
Y'all go ask Darrell McCormick.
They call him Bucky.
They come to my room.
Hey, Sharp.
Because, you know, most of the time I have my door open.
Hey, Sharp.
Hey, about six or seven of them come I had my door open. Hey, Sean! Hey,
about six or seven of them come.
So I'm laying on my bed, because I normally, I'm laying on my bed
looking up at the ceiling. I'm thinking about, you know,
I'm thinking about going to the NFL. I'm thinking about something
else other than what I've got going on.
So I see like five or six of them come in the room.
I sit up, hold y'all.
Hey, Sean. I said, what's up?
Man,
we need your help. I said, said, what's up? Man, we need your help.
I said, okay, what's up?
Man, we want to boycott the cafeteria.
Man, I'm tired of eating the same thing.
I said, if y'all don't get y'all cry freedom ass out of my mofo room, I know something.
I said, that man give us steak when none of the regular students get steak.
Right.
He go out of our way.
We're supposed to get a meal, eat, and then come back. A lot of
times, he'll give us first and second
the one time through. And y'all
want to talk about, y'all want to boycott?
If y'all don't get y'all cry freedom ass
out my room, I know something.
Man, come on.
Man, get out my room.
And when they walked out, I slammed the door.
I tried to break the door to let them know
just how disgusted I was.
We're not going to do things the wrong way.
We don't do things willy-nilly.
Jameis Winston was wrong in this situation,
and I would not want him as a teammate.
Hey, I guarantee the players on the Saints don't feel like that, though.
Doesn't matter.
Hey, what if it's an incentive?
What if it's an incentive that we don't even know about?
What if it's an incentive that we don't even know about? What if it's an incentive that we don't even know about?
Oh, Joe.
So you couldn't get him
that incentive
before you got to 48?
They got 41 points at that point.
Right.
Right.
I understand.
I understand what you're saying,
but I'm just saying
how the players today think,
the players on that team,
the players in that locker room.
I can't answer anything like that.
They're not reacting the way...
Obviously, it's probably
going to be a huge topic tomorrow,
I'm assuming.
And I think most of the people on our side,
as far as media is concerned or analysts
or those that like to critique the game
and some of the things that players do
are going to be on your side.
They're going to be on your side.
I'll stand on this island by myself.
Phil Zaldala said,
Unk tripping.
You play to win the game.
Dennis Allen ain't even
a real coach.
Derek Carr is trash.
Shout out to real
Jameis Winston.
Stop the J-Bo hate.
If Derek Carr ain't
a real coach,
why Jameis Winston
ain't the starter?
You know Jameis Winston
was there.
He's been there
for three years.
So why go get
somebody else?
And remember,
remember what was
the Jack?
He played quarterback, running back, tight end.
He was starting over Jameis.
If they thought that much of Jameis.
Taysom Hill?
Taysom Hill.
What that tell Ocho?
A girl at your school, you been digging on her.
You like her.
You like her.
Like, hey, what's up?
And she go to a neighbor's school and get a boyfriend over there.
And you right there.
Yeah.
That's what the Saints did.
They got Jameis in their locker room.
They go out and get Derek Carr.
What that tell you, Ocho?
I wasn't enough.
That's what it told you.
Because they know.
They know.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal
that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
No one was let go.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General.
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal

The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.

Arthur Smith just got fired.
Who?
That's not a surprise.
That's not a surprise.
Arthur Smith, it's about St. The Atlanta Falcons head coach. Yeah, not a surprise. That's not a surprise. It's about St.
The Atlanta Falcons head coach.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, he's straight.
You know who his people are.
He good.
He good.
He's straight. But that tells you everything.
That's why I respect him even more.
Because he said, I don't want to go that route.
I want to make a name for myself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't want to be the business thing.
I want to be a coach.
I want to be grimy.
I want a toe.
You're absolutely right. He probably could have went and be the business thing. I want to be a coach. I want to be grimy. I want a toll.
You're absolutely right.
He probably could have went into the family business.
Wait.
His dad is the owner
of a started FedEx.
Yeah.
That's who his dad is?
He just got fired.
It ain't been 24 hours yet.
The game ain't in.
That don't matter.
What if the Falcons and Saints
played at?
They played in Atlanta?
They played in New Orleans.
In New Orleans. In New Orleans.
In New Orleans.
Oh, so they waited
until they landed.
Yeah, they've been back home.
They've been home.
Let's move on, Ocho.
The Cowboys beat the Commanders 38-10.
Dak didn't want to wear
the NFC title, hat, or shirt.
He said,
we won the East before.
The focus is ahead.
The focus is ahead.
Simple as that.
I want something better. In 2021,
the Cowboys was 12-5, lost
to the 49ers in the first, in the
second round.
Second round, right?
Yeah, they were lost to the Wild Card game.
Anyway, they were 12-5, they lost to the
49ers. 22, they were 12-5, lost
to the 49ers. In 23,
2023, they're 12-5. Who
do the Cowboys play?
They play the Packers. Ooh 23, 2023, the 12 and 5, who do the Cowboys play? They play the Packers.
Ooh. Ooh, that's gonna be
a good one, boy. Hey, that's
gonna be a good one.
That's gonna be a
good one. Mike McCarthy said
he won't participate in the drama surrounding
Packers' playoff game. What drama?
What drama?
I know that's his old team,
but bro, you've been out of there for a minute.
Listen, you know
who created the drama? You know who
created it? An unnecessary noise?
Jerry Jones.
Thank you. Jerry Jones.
Listen, Dak said what he said already.
That needs to be the continuous headline
for the remainder of the week
until they play. What he said, I don't want to wear any of the NFC stuff.
I have my eyes on the bigger prize.
I want NFC championship, NFC championship, or Super Bowl.
If it ain't that, I don't want it.
So Jerry need to leave it as is.
We don't need to hear nothing, no quotes, no statements, no nothing.
Jerry got to get his name in the paper.
Oh, come on, man.
Come on, man.
You see Dak?
Dak got his name in the paper. Dak said we won, man. Come on, man. You see Dak? Dak got his name in the paper.
Dak said, we won the East before. The focus is ahead.
Simple as that. I want something better.
Bingo. Nothing else needs to be said from anybody else.
That's your leader.
Your leader has spoken.
Your leader has spoken.
Allow that to carry on throughout the locker room.
Allow that to be the headlines.
We don't need to hear nothing from the owner.
Michael said the regular season is cute,
but this is legacy.
There is always a term
of to be phenomenal
or be forgotten.
That's me, CD and Dyke.
We have all that legacy
to earn the hard way,
but that type of
Cowboys Hall of Fame,
because they saw Emmitt
and they saw Haley
and they saw all the greats out there
when Jimmy went into the ring of fame right that's how you want to be remembered I mean
Emmitt those teams that won in the 70s those 70s cowboys with with Randy White and Roger Stahlberg
and Drew Pearson and Tony Hill and Tony Dorsett. Yeah. Those are the ones.
Harvey Martin.
Those are the ones in the 90s.
That's like, hey, you never forgotten.
Yeah.
You never forgotten.
Cemented.
That's what it's about.
Right.
That's a legacy.
Regular season, and Micah's right.
Regular season's great.
Great.
In order to get to the postseason,
you have to take care of business in the regular season.
But if you want to be remembered,
play great in those games in the postseason.
And they'll never forget you.
No matter what happens,
hey, no matter how many, look,
there have been the Bronco teams
that was winning when Peyton was there
when I showed up
I got just as much if not more love
than those guys because they already know what I had done
yeah
I go back to Baltimore
which I don't go back often
I get mad love because I was the
first one to get it started
a mentality a championship
way of doing things.
That's what it's...
Dak officially led the NFL in
touchdown passes this season with 36.
Congratulations.
He played well.
Now, we've seen him
play well before. Now,
can he use that
momentum from the regular season
and launch this team and himself
into the playoffs. And you know
what they need to do?
CeeDee Lamb has had back-to-back
weeks of
touching and catching 10-plus balls
and look how the game turned out.
Yeah.
Make your life easy.
Make life easy for Dak
and tell you to move CeeDee around.
Allow him to facilitate.
He gets your boy next week, though.
Who?
Zaire.
He gets your boy next week.
That's your boy.
Yeah, but that boy could play.
I'm talking about man to man.
He's sticky with it.
That's going to be a good game, bro.
He gets your boy next week.
That's going to be a good game. bro. That's why I got... He gets the ball next week. That's going to be a good game.
But listen, Zaire don't travel either.
So obviously, whenever CD lines up on the outside,
well, that's going to be one to watch.
That's going to be one to watch.
They need to implement.
I've been saying this for a long time.
You know, you have a TV camera,
and most of the time you see a catch
or you see a play that a receiver makes
or a play that a DB makes.
You always have to wait for the replay.
You always have to wait for the replay. They need to implement a camera where you can see everything
from jump from the snap of the ball where it highlights the receiver and the db while the
play is being called so you can see everything develop from start to end as opposed to okay we
saw a touchdown okay but now we got to wait for the replay where you can see it live in action
i don't know just like uh, what do you call it,
picture in picture?
Like, picture in picture.
So in the corner of your screen,
you had the receiver and the DB match up
and watch things develop, how they got open,
how they got off the line, or how the DB,
I just, I don't know, it's just a thought.
It would be dope to have.
I like the fact that the Cowboys came out
and took care of business.
They were on a mission from the start.
It wasn't no dilly-dallying around.
Look, we are a superior team.
We're going to show you our superiority early on.
Leave no doubt.
Because, see, the thing is sometimes, Coach,
the worst thing that you can do for a team is to beat them in a close game.
Because now the coach is going to go into the locker room.
That's one of the better teams. And you see how close
we came to beat them. We cleaned up a few
things. We're right there.
The Cowboys says, Washington, you got a lot
to improve upon. You're not
close. Josh Harris is going to clean house.
The new owner of the Washington football
team, he's going to clean the house.
He's going to clean house.
When I say clean
house, not only get everything that was in there out,
he's going to scrub it down.
And bring it his own regime, huh?
Bring it his own everything.
Well, how are you sure, though?
How are you so sure?
I'm about 1,779% sure.
I'm infinity sure.
There's nothing more than infinity.
I'm infinity sure. Okay, more than infinity I'm infinity sure
Okay I mean you got sources
I got no sources
How am I going to keep a coach
With that record
I saw no improvement all year
Damn
Did you see any improvement
No But they got one hell of an offense too damn did you see the improvement?
no but they got one hell of an offense too
boy
they got B enemy
when you look on paper
let me roll back
Jahan Dotson, Brother Samuel
Terry McLaurin
very decent
adequate backfield
all you need there's nothing wrong with Sam Howell Terry McLaurin, very decent, adequate backfield.
All you need, there's nothing wrong with Sam Howell.
I'm assuming because they stuck with him.
I think they had an opportunity to go out and get a quarterback.
I'm assuming during the offseason they had an opportunity, but I think they said Sam Howell is our guy.
Have we seen enough of him to make a decision and say,
okay, you know what, I don't think Sam is the guy. I don't think he's the one for
us. They got a top five pick. They're coming out with
a quarterback.
Ain't nobody going to be there because Caleb
Williams and Drake may going to be off the board. They gone.
But here's the thing.
Are you willing to trade?
Is Russell Wilson
better than Sam Howell?
Russell Wilson is going to the Steelers.
No, they're not relieved.
What if we can trade him?
Now, if we can't trade him, I'm going to get something for you, Ocho.
Right, right.
Yeah, I just, if I was Russell, I wouldn't do it.
Because then you just-
He ain't got no choice.
Well, he does.
I think he might have no trade clause.
Exactly.
Which is why I say he's going to the steelers you know if you're going to go somewhere he's going somewhere that has a team that is built in somewhat to get to that goddamn
playoffs and have opportunity to lombardi he only got so many years left to actually play the game
of football actually play the quarterback position right now you're young you're your fourth year and
the things aren't working out okay i understand I understand. Okay, I go to the commanders
and see what we can do and we can build
from there. He don't have that kind of time
left. So it got
to be to a contender. And with the way the Steelers
looking, they're a goddamn quarterback
away now.
I like the
way Mason Rudolph has played. He's done a great job
taking care of the football, but
maybe the ceiling. He's already a great job taking care of the football. But maybe the ceiling.
Maybe there's a ceiling.
Listen, he's already been there, like you said, with Jameis Winston.
Why would they go get Derek Carr if he was already there?
Right.
Why would they draft Kenny Pickett if Mason Rudolph was already there?
Maybe he's not the guy.
Hey, bro.
Hey, you preach.
Hey, I need you to get that to the congregation.
I'm the choir.
I sing.
I be here every week. I be congregation. I'm the choir. I sing. I've been here every week.
I've been here every week for a reason.
Give that to some of the ones that only come once in a while.
I'm just, I'm just, I'm telling you, I'm going to use what you said.
I'm going to use what you said and give it back.
All right.
Jacob asks, is Dak elite?
The comments are really hyping him up.
They even mentioned that, mentioned MVP talk.
And I'm a Cowboy fan.
Uncle no joke.
Well, who, the MVP discussion should be over It's over
Who's your MVP?
Lamar
Who else?
The only question is, is he going to win it unanimously?
That's the only question
It ain't no question of who's going to win the MVP
The question is, is he going to win it unanimously?
It's always going to be one idiot.
No, I mean, he won it before.
He and Tom Brady are the only ones to win it unanimously.
Right.
So for me...
I mean, when it comes to the voting,
I guarantee you it's going to be one idiot.
I think they've seen enough from Lamar.
You know who the voters are?
Who are the voters?
It's 50. I don't know. I mean, they're enough from Lamar. You know who the voters are? Who are the voters? It's 50.
I don't know. I mean,
normally if you beat writers,
I mean,
when I was at CBS, I used to be a voter.
I used to be a voter. I did.
Absolutely.
That's why I take it so serious.
That's why I watch every game. I study every game.
I voted for the All-Pro team.
Yes, I voted.
I took it absolutely very serious.
Right.
And you didn't get him based on name.
Like, Buda Baker should not have made the Pro Bowl.
Not over Winfield Jr.?
Yeah.
I don't know how.
If you look at this,
what the hell is wrong with me tonight?
I'm talking too damn fast.
Statistics.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw that.
Hey, Antoine, Antoine,
we're hot, boy.
Yeah.
You seen his pops?
His pops was snapping.
He shot up.
Right, right, right, right.
How you got no interceptions,
no forced fumbles,
no fumble recoveries,
you missed time with an injury.
And it's not, you know, the argument where he was on a winning team.
They ain't win nothing.
He was injured, didn't have the stats.
His team didn't win.
That's on reputation.
They need to stop that.
That's a reputation. And that happens a lot. So I don't want Antoine, keep's on reputation. They need to stop that.
That's a reputation, and that happens a lot.
Antoine, keep your head up.
This has been going on before
I was in the league, during the league,
and it's going to continue to go on. There's always
going to be a few guys that get in on reputation.
They didn't...
And I don't say deserve.
Buda Baker did not earn
the right to go to Orlando and be an NFC representative in the Pro Bowl.
He did not.
There's nothing.
There's no stat.
There's no metric.
There's no stat.
Right.
There's nothing you can use to say, you know what?
He had a better season than Antoine Winfield Jr.
None.
But that's my only question, Ocho. The only question
is, is Lamar going to win
the MVP? Now, who
comes in second, third? It doesn't matter.
It don't matter. It don't even matter.
In a situation like that, first.
First matters. Yeah. Because that means
you're going home with the award.
And I believe Lamar Jackson will win
his second MVP
in four years.
That's crazy work.
Crazy.
Let's go.
Hey, he's from Florida.
Billy lives into the playoffs.
Huh?
Wow.
Ocho, we just hit 700,000 subs.
Hey, I appreciate y'all.
I don't even know 700,000 people.
I don't even know 700,000 people, but I do now.
We just got to make sure
you tell your
friends and family how
good nightcap is. Not
just with the sports breakdown, but you
know we got these stories.
We ain't even get to the stories tonight yet.
Not yet. We ain't even get to the stories tonight.
Philly lifts into the playoffs,
Ocho.
Jalen Hurts, injured.
A.J. Brown, injured.
I think Devontae Smith got injured.
The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to start 10-1 or better and not reach 12 wins.
A truly historic class.
I talked about,
and I asked this earlier,
I tweeted it,
and I asked Eagles fans,
I said,
what's wrong with me, Eagles?
All the fans was pissed.
They say,
listen,
help me find an excuse that I can use tonight
with Unk,
and all the fans were like,
don't find no,
and don't get no
motherfucking excuse,
tell the motherfucking truth.
Tell the truth.
They playing like shit.
Something ain't working.
And I saw all type of quotes
and they giving up.
The defense to play calling.
It's Matt Patricia.
I don't know what the fuck Sirianni ain't doing.
The offense is broken.
I mean, I'm seeing all type of stuff.
So I'm trying to understand.
Obviously,
last year,
the D-line was crazy work.
They was giving people
crazy work.
The pressures,
the sacks.
The NFL record
with 72 sacks.
70, 70,
70-some sacks this year.
I think they got, what,
maybe 30-something,
very, very low.
They're damn near last
statistically
on defense
in all areas
and all phases.
Damn near last.
Not even in the middle.
At least be in the middle somewhere.
I think they 20-something below and damn near everything.
Yep.
But because the front line is not playing as good as they did last year.
Now the back end is being exposed.
So that's not playing well.
You got injuries on top of that.
Offensively, I don't know what the problem is. I don't know. I don't know what the problem is.
I don't know. I don't know what the problem is.
You got A.J. Brown. You got
Devontae Smith. You got
Dallas Dotter, Swift, a
pro bowler. No, I don't
understand. You start 10-1.
He went to the Pro Bowl. Landon Donovan went to the Pro Bowl.
The big right tackle
went to the Pro Bowl.
Lane Johnson. Lane Johnson. A.J. Brown's in the Pro Bowl. Yeah. Lane Johnson.
Lane Johnson.
A.J. Brown's in the Pro Bowl.
And then they go 10-1.
I don't think they have
a defensive player in the Pro Bowl.
Well, last year they had a few.
Yeah, last year they did have a few.
But they go 10-1, right?
And then you keep harping on
and harping throughout the season
listening to winning,
but there are holes that I can see.
And every week you keep saying the same thing,
but the goddamn Eagles
kept on winning.
And then what would you do?
Listen to me, Eagles fans.
Everybody saw this.
This is what I want you to write it down, Ocho.
I want you to write it down.
You never accept anything in a win.
You wouldn't in a loss.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, see, when they was winning
and I was trying to tell the Eagles,
you a hater. You don't like
Jalen Hurts.
Eagles, what they say, Eagles, fly,
Eagles, fly. I said, okay.
I said, okay. Fly, Eagles, fly.
Oh, you a hater.
You had it against us. You was wrong.
Yada, yada, yada. Now,
you were right.
You were right.
Yeah.
Defense is not good.
And the problem is that you can't
run the ball consistently like you did last
year to keep them sorry rascals off the field.
So now they're on the field more.
So if you're not good,
if your defense isn't good, you can't
hide them.
Because, I mean, so what?
They don't pressure the quarterback consistently.
The back end is awful.
Awful.
Slaves out.
Bradbury, I've never really been in love with Bradbury.
I don't know people.
Some people love him.
But when I watch him, a lot of opening the gate, a lot of missing.
The secondary, the linebackers are not nothing to write home about.
They got, look, I like Fletch, but Fletch is a little long in the tube.
Jalen Carter needs to get in shape.
Jordan Davis needs to get in shape.
Yeah.
I like Hassan Reddick.
That boy nice.
You got rid of Montez.
I just, I don't know what y'all, so I read it. That boy nice. You got rid of Montez. I just, I don't know, Ocho.
I don't know.
I do know, but y'all ain't want to listen to me.
I've been trying to tell y'all this.
Trying to tell y'all.
I mean, think of Ocho.
You start 10-1.
Right.
10-1 in the first time in NFL history a team has started 10-1 and better
and not reached 12 wins.
12 games, yeah.
So you got six games.
All you got to do is win two games.
That's crazy.
You go 1 and 5.
The Eagles defense is very good.
Jalen Hurst says it's about weathering the storm.
It's about not riding waves, never getting too high,
never getting too low,
keeping the main thing the main thing.
All you need is a crumb, an opportunity.
It's simple win or go home.
Nothing prior to this matters.
Who do the Eagles play?
Who do the Eagles got?
Who do the Eagles got?
Because they're the fifth seed.
I'm going to the game.
Who my Eagles got? Oh, they got Tampa.
Tampa's the fourth seed
They got Tampa
Shit they got my dude
Baker Mayfield man
They got my dude Baker
They got
Ooh but Mike Evans
What Mike Evans
Mike Evans look at E
Hey
Hey
Uh
Big
Big
Big play Slay back
He black next week
I don't know
He wasn't back today
AJ Brown okay
They didn't say He hurt his back today. AJ Brown okay?
They didn't say. He hurt his knee. I think AJ Brown hurt his knee. Yeah, I saw that. That goddamn
drop hip tackle, man.
No! No! You say
they tackling. You say they tackling.
You say lead that play in.
What did I say? I said,
as offensive players, when you feel the
pressure behind you, let your body
go. Let your body go.
There's no need to fight that. Stop
trying to get all these extra yards just
to show you tough and just let your
body go and live to see another
down. Live to see another
down. Bet you a thousand dollars they take
outlawed at tackle. I mean, it's going to
be impossible. I'm sure you can just like they did
the, uh, what's the worst call? Yeah. Yeah.
They can, they can, but it's just what you're going to do is, is you're going to be impossible. I'm sure you can, just like they did. The horse collar. Yeah, they can.
But what you're going to do is you're going to see more people getting more yards
because now, depending on the angle you're at,
you're going to be afraid to tackle.
You're going to be afraid to reach out.
I mean, look here.
In order to save a touchdown,
you're going to drop tackle.
Just like in order to save a touchdown,
guys, horse collar.
There are going to be more touchdowns being scored
because you can't drop tackle
based on the angle in which you're coming in.
Call the flag.
You don't get points for flag. You get points
for touchdown. So I ain't going to let you get
no touchdown. So I'm going to drop tackle.
I understand it's an outlaw tackle, but I
ain't giving him no touchdown.
It's just like the guy beat me off the line
to get to the quarterback if I'm pass blocking.
Oh, you're not going to get it.
I'm going to tackle you.
Well, you know they're going to make you open up your purse then.
They're going to make you open up your pocketbook.
Oh, you're going to drop tackle anybody?
Okay, here.
Hold this 30.
Let me get that 30,000 about you.
That's what it is.
Let me get that 30,000.
There ain't no touchdown.
Oh, you're going to do it again?
Okay, let me get 50,000 about you.
And the third time you do it, you know what?
Hold this six-game suspension in since you don't game suspension in. I ain't giving up no touchdown.
So that ain't happening.
All three
black head coaches led their team
to the playoffs. Mike Tomlin,
Todd Bowles, and Nico Ryan.
That's live.
That's live.
That don't mean nothing. You think the NFL
gonna hire more black coaches?
Do I think they coaches? No.
Do I think they are?
Yes.
I mean, statistically,
how it's been
throughout the years,
you know how that goes.
That's what I ask.
I don't know how it goes.
Do you think
they're gonna hire more?
Based on this stat,
that all three black head coaches
made the playoffs,
do you think
the NFL
will have more black coaches
based on this stat?
I mean, they may very well.
They might, but I just know those
that are in position. You said based on, see,
now hold on, they might, but you said
based on statistically,
that wasn't where you was headed. Well, absolutely
not. I mean, it's
clear as day. No,, it's clear as day.
Maybe.
No, it ain't clear as day.
I mean, what about somebody just watching this?
What about somebody just subscribed?
They're 700 to 1,000th person.
This is a nightcap.
This is their first time.
Yeah.
How do owners feel about hiring minority coaches?
How they always felt based on the opportunities that minority coaches are given.
Normally, it's a team
that's shitty as hell.
One of the few times
I've seen a minority
be hired as a coach
and turn around
in his first year there
is goddamn D'Amico Ryans
over there in Houston.
Most of the opportunities
that we're given
or in positions
that are not good.
But think about how many times
D'Amico Rimes was passed up.
Huh?
He been leading the 49ers defense.
They've been good.
For a minute.
For a minute, yeah.
Most definitely.
Listen, it's hard for us to get those jobs.
You know that.
You know that.
And I'm sure people in the chat,
if you don't know,
it's very, very difficult
for us to get those jobs,
especially in positions like that
where you're leaders of men.
They give you a job.
Where they send Tony
Dungeon to at first? Tampa.
Right. Yeah.
You know what makes it easy for you, too?
The team you get.
Yeah. The team you get.
Only Mike Tomlin
inherited a team.
He went to Pittsburgh. Coach Cowell left the
cover to stop. He had them boys, boy.
He had them boys. Coach Cowell left it well.
But you normally get Herman when you go to the Jets.
Yeah.
See?
See?
You know, UAA.
Man, I don't even want to open up them can of worms.
It's going to be interesting if Steve Wilks gets an opportunity.
Hell, he should have been in Carolina anyway.
That's crazy. But again. It's going to be interesting. It'sks gets an opportunity. Hell, he should have been in Carolina anyway. Mm-hmm. That's crazy.
It's going to be interesting. It's going to be
very, very interesting to see.
Because you see Mike Tomlin has never
had a losing season. Somehow,
given what he had to go through,
three different quarterbacks,
you know,
Kenny Pickett, Mitchell Trubisky,
back to Pickett.
Now it's Mason Rudolph. It's going to be, now Trubisky, back to Pickett. Mason Rudolph. Now it's Mason Rudolph in the beginning.
It's going to be, now here's the thing,
TJ Watt's probably going to miss this game
with that knee injury.
You think so?
Yeah.
Nobody's told us, nobody's told us yet,
or there haven't been any reports
on how serious it is.
If anything, I'm hoping it's a grade one MCL.
I think JJ posted something.
Didn't JJ Watt post something about,
said it's going to be okay for grade two?
He said, grade two?
Grade two, probably some rest.
And what'd he say, rest and he'll be okay?
You know, you know.
He tweeted it.
There's a little special remedy out there
for that too now, you know.
Nah, ain't nobody looking going, he ain't letting nobody
pee on his knee.
Nah, he's talking about that. That's for ankles. It started with a T. I mean, you know? Nah. Ain't nobody looking going, he ain't letting nobody pee on his knee. Nah, I ain't talking about that.
That's for ankles.
It started with a T.
I mean, you can take it,
you can take it,
you can take the pill,
you can take the needle.
Which one you want?
Oh, you're talking about
Toradol?
Yeah, which one you want?
Huh?
It's big time now.
It's the playoff now.
Which one you want?
We'll get you out there.
JJ tweeted,
best case scenario
for TJ,
grade two MCL sprain
everything else
looks pristine
a couple of weeks
of rest
and recovery
couple of weeks
we ain't got weeks
we need
we need
we need you
look I'm talking about we
like I'm part of the Steelers
nah
it ain't worth it
you saying no
it ain't worth it
no
nah
that lower body
you don't be fooling
with that lower body.
Yeah, I know.
You right.
You right.
Especially the knee.
Anything that weighs down,
you start getting them knees
and you start, uh-uh.
You don't play with that.
You right.
You right.
Ooh.
His explosiveness is everything for him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, listen.
We'll see what happens.
We'll see.
Who the Steelers got to play again?
Oh, the Bills.
The Steelers play Buffalo.
They go to Buffalo. Hey, what? But. Who do Steelers got to play again? Oh, the Bills. Buffalo. They go to Buffalo.
Hey, what if the Steelers
mess around and beat the Bills?
It's going to be tough
without TJ.
All right.
Defense playing okay now.
They're playing okay.
Defense playing okay. I're playing okay defense playing okay
did Hendrickson take the lead
because I know he had I saw him earlier
I don't know I don't know I know
he had 17 he would have had to take the lead he would have had to get
three today or the tie he would have had to get two
I saw him get one I saw him get one
he got 18 then okay
I know he has at least 18
it'd be interesting to see did he get
did Hendrickson how many sacks did Henderson have
looking it up right now
but congratulations Mike Tomlin, Todd Bowles
D'Amico Ryan
blackhead coaches
now
I'm sure somebody's going to ask
y'all not going to say anything about Mike McDaniel
because he's 17 and a half
17 and a half oh 17 and a half.
Oh, you got half a sec.
Damn, man.
Mike McDaniel identifies as a minority.
I mean.
He does?
Yeah, I guess.
I don't know much about Mike's background.
I like him as a coach.
Yeah.
Well, he was in Washington.
Yeah. All those guys on Mike's staff,. Well, he was in Washington. Yeah.
All those guys
on Mike's staff
when Mike was the head coach
in Washington.
Oh, I saw that.
Mike McDaniels,
Sean McVay.
Yeah, I saw that.
Yeah.
All those guys were there.
That was really dope.
And then when
Kyle went to 49ers,
a lot of them went with Kyle.
Right.
Mike got let go.
That's one thing now.
Them shanty hats, they loyal now.
You look at Kyle's staff.
Yeah.
You look at Mike McDaniel's staff.
Right.
A lot of those guys were with Mike when he was in San Fran,
and he brought them with him.
Right.
And Kyle, some of those guys were in Atlanta.
Hey, Bobby Turner was the running back coach when Mike first got to Denver.
Right.
Everywhere Mike went,
Bobby T went winning. When Bobby T, when Mike went to Washington,
Bobby T went. When Mike
left, hey, Kyle got the job
in San Fran, Bobby T right there.
You see how the
coaches stick together? You see what I'm
saying? You see how if I'm
going somewhere, if I got a job,
you're going to always have a job?
Always.
Now, think about this.
Now, that same mentality in other areas
and other respective crafts
of people's jobs that they do,
now you see how
them comedians going at it
back and forth with each other?
I know I'm off topic a little bit.
I know we're talking about football.
But you see how
you see how
they picking each other up
no matter what,
no matter where I go
I'm taking you to a tree
I'm going to make sure
you have a job
now what if
my comedians
is going at it
back and forth
and taking shots
at each other
now what if
they was the opposite way
boy I just got a gig
you can't steal my joke
hey listen
you can't steal my joke
and think you're going
to be on my tour with me
I'm bringing you with me
I ain't finna headline
no tour
and you stealing my ish
and you think I'm
bringing you on tour with me
why would I do that
I just want to use that example I just want to use that example.
I just want to use that example.
I'm using it.
I'm giving you an example.
You just gave a great example
of coaches that have been together
for a long time
and have ensured
come hell or high water
that those that they know
or that do the same thing they do
always had a fucking job.
Why are they doing it, Ocho?
Loyalty.
No backstabbing.
No lying.
No talking behind my back.
You see what you try to do?
You try to make it a situation like, oh, no matter what,
you think these coaches are going to take somebody that's been talking behind their back,
that's been lying on them?
You think they're going to hire them in another situation, Ocho?
Come on now, Ocho. So you mean to tell me i'm headlining a tour you done stole my joke you
done talked ish about me and now you want me to put you on hello i don't i don't think that makes
sense i i listen i i ain't nobody all that i'm just i'm just i just but. But you say, okay, yes. Yes, I get it.
I hit my elbow, man.
Hold on.
But you also have to understand that when you go with a coach, when you bring him, he's a lead dog.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely.
Most definitely.
I understand.
I just hate the bickering.
But back to the coaches, man.
Just back to the staff.
But that was crazy that they've always done that. Or just knowing if you are a coach and you have that knit family, you're always going to have a job.
Yeah, but see, the thing about coaching, man.
I just don't like the part you got to uproot, you got to uproot your family
and you got to move.
You know, Con,
I hate that part.
That got to be the worst.
Look, it's like the military.
You already know
you're going to move a lot.
Yeah.
It's like being a Methodist
creature.
Unless you're in a great situation.
You're going to move a lot.
Yeah, unless you're
in a great situation
with a great team.
Yes.
So you're not very fortunate.
How many people are fortunate
enough to be like Mike Tomlin
and you know your family
been in one place for 17 years?
That doesn't happen like that.
Yeah.
But you got to think about it.
Mike Tomlin was in Tampa at first.
He was in Minnesota next.
And then he went to Pittsburgh.
Yeah, yeah.
So see, it wasn't like he started there.
Right, you're right.
You're right.
Coach Belichick.
Coach Belichick was with the Giants.
With Cleveland.
And then he went to Cleveland.
Cleveland.
And then he went to the Jets. And then, I then he went to the Jazz. I mean, he went to
New England. Then he went to the Jazz.
Then he went to Patriots.
So this notion that you start
one place and stay there, that's just not
true. So you're moving
at least at bare minimum two, three
times before you're able to get somewhere stationary
and stay for an extended period
of time. Itaching his head.
It's just like the military.
Well, you know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, I grew up in there.
I've been here.
No, you don't.
You here for two years.
You there for three,
three, four years
and you somewhere else.
Yeah.
But you understand, Ocho,
that's a part of it.
You understand.
The wife understands.
You need to get somebody
to understand.
It's going to be okay now, babe.
We're going to move around.
Babe, you know I am. I got fired today. You know, I got fired today. It's going to be okay now, babe. We're going to move around. Babe, you know I am. I got
fired today. I got fired today.
That's tough, though.
Yeah.
Especially when you got kids, you got a wife,
you got to uproot everything.
What about the player that's not Ocho Cinco
and Shannon Sharp and Tom Brady
and Peyton Manning? What about those guys
that's one year here,
one year there, been on 75 teams, 16? What about those guys? That's one year here, one year there, been on 75 teams, 16.
What about those guys?
Journeyman.
Yes.
Yeah, you right.
You right.
That's a tough business, boy.
Yes.
That's a tough business.
And it's like that in real world.
There are a lot of people.
Hey, everybody don't get
to spend a 20-year career
at Apple or Google
or, you know, IBM, Salesforce,
whatever the case may be. Damn. A lot of times, you get a lot of, well, you know, IBM, Salesforce, whatever the case may be.
A lot of times you get a lot of, well, you know,
hey, I got a new job.
You was in Florida, now you're
in Texas, now you're in Ohio, now you're
in Georgia, now you're in California, you're
in Oregon, you're in Washington.
It just probably, it just
happens a little more frequently
when you're dealing with pro sports.
Because it's kind of like year to year, but who knows? I mean, hey, it's not like, sometimes happens a little more frequently when you're dealing with pro sports. Of course, yeah.
Because it's kind of like year to year.
But who knows?
I mean, hey, it's not like sometimes in the regular world, you know, like,
hey, man, I ain't feeling this job.
Hey, I'm up out of there.
I don't get to say, you know what?
Man, I ain't really feeling this.
And I got two, three years left on my contract.
Especially NFL.
Now, you can do that in the NBA.
Say, I ain't having somewhere, you know,
you're a big-time, you know,
a big-time player. You can force a trade
before more times than not,
Ocho, you know, you sign a contract, you're stuck there.
Footage has emerged
of Cat Williams' claim
that he can run a sub-4-5
40-yard dash. Now,
he came on Club Shea Shea
and said, you know, he can run, you know,
he athletic.
He talk about he shoot hoop.
So he play like 10 games a day in the yard.
He say, you know, he box, he lift a little.
He do push-ups and sit-ups and stuff like that.
Yeah.
And they had him on the basketball court.
And it looked like he was moving pretty good. He was moving pretty good.
Man, that was no goddamn fo-fo.
Come on now.
Man, what kind of, now. Stop playing now.
Hold on. How long
is the side of a basketball court?
I don't think it's 40 yards.
You don't think so?
Hell no.
Just looking at the video, that's a long way.
That's a little ways now. That's a little ways.
I don't think that's no
40 yards. I know one thing. That wasn't no goddamn
fo-fo. He ain't running that. I know one thing. That wasn't no goddamn 4-4. He ain't running that.
I know that much.
That ain't happening.
It can't.
Yeah, me and Cat.
Man, Cat just came up.
Club Shea Shea, man.
Man, everybody's still talking about that, Ocho.
Yeah.
That was a good one.
I mean, people.
Listen, that's one for the record right there now.
Yeah, Ocho.
That's one for the record.
I'm talking about people
that I would never,
ever think
would know anything
about Club Shea Shea,
know anything about
no Cat Williams.
Right.
I'm talking about
white people in the airport.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just want to say
that interview
with Cat Williams.
Yeah.
Man, I...
They gave you the thumbs up?
Yeah, I'm like... I mean, the pilot. I'm talking about everyone. I mean, thumbs up yeah i'm like i'll be the pilot i'm talking about
everyone i'll be the pilot i'm like damn yeah and my assistant was like man i didn't know i'm like
hell i didn't know either right nobody knew nobody knew oh children you do something like that look
like i said i've been doing this now for three years cat wins my hundred and second uh sit down and i've had some buyer moments steve harvey's at 10 million views
you're about six million you're like 300 400 000 from six million views coach prime is the same
thing uh dc young flies at four million i mean we had some breakout clips but the differences
between what cat has done cat williams clips, he got breakout clips, which is like seven minutes.
That's six. That's six million. Yeah. I mean, a million, five, two million, three million.
I mean, I have nothing like this. I mean, I did not. I said, look, I was open for 10 to 15 million.
I thought we can get 10 to 15 million. I really did. I honestly thought we could do 10 to 15 million with Cat Williams.
Yeah.
But when that thing, when I see 121,000 watching in a chat.
Yeah.
Now you got to, okay, where can it go?
Yeah.
And then the first day, you do 5 million?
Yeah.
You're like, hold on.
The topics.
The topics.
The things that are being discussed.
The things that are being talked about. you know, it commands the ear.
It attracts people.
Well, I want to hear what he has to say because we didn't know about it.
He's exposing and letting the cat out the bag based on what on things that we didn't know about.
He does because that's his world.
You're not a part of that world.
You don't run in those circles.
So you don't know those things. I don't run in those circles. So I don't know those things. So I was part of the hundred and twenty thousand and they got damn chat because I want to know what's going on, too, because I love comedy. I like to laugh. I think I'm funny. Right. Hell shit. So I want to know what's going on in their world for those that are at the top at the top of the food chain and what they do and it was interesting
it was interesting I ain't picking no sides cause I know
them all I enjoyed
that thoroughly
I love people's truths I love people's
honesty and the thing is
Ocho is about what comedians the one
thing that we know and they do very well on my
platform DC Young
Fly Ricky Smiley
Sid Steve we had Jayay farrell right um they all
do extremely well because they know how to entertain and what they can do is take true
things and make them funny so he's telling you truth but he's making them funny he's making you
laugh and all the while you're like but he's telling the truth
now i don't that they i mean that's what the listeners you know some of the comments that i
read right right um but it's been it's been i don't think anybody thought this because i mean
he was on uh i think he was on mike tyson a year ago or something but he doesn't do a whole lot of
sit-down yeah and so that's why I was a little surprised, though, Joe,
when it was confirmed,
okay, Cat's coming in. Yeah.
I'm like, CJ, you sure?
So I'm like, man,
let me get her. I want to get her early.
Right. Hey, he showed up
early.
Hit the dough talking-ish.
He ready.
So I'm like, hey,
you know, I'm going to see. I'm going to tell you now, if you don't want me, hey, don't give me he told me, don't pour me none
if it ain't good, because I'm going to say it.
I said, okay.
I think it's good, but hey,
you be the judge.
And man, Ocho,
like I said,
we could have got another 15 minutes while
he was standing there, while he was doing this
hey, everybody, how you doing?
We asked him to do anything.
He need water.
I just need a microphone.
Yeah.
Just go from there.
Oh, you can't see me, but y'all
saw it. He had it. He's doing
this on his pants.
He's rubbing. He's doing this.
I said, okay.
I said, okay. I said, okay.
I said, okay.
Let's go.
And Jordan laughed.
Jordan laughed because Jordan was like, I look back.
I look over to my right.
Jordan's shaking his head.
I'm like, I'm shaking my head too.
Everybody.
And then the laughter that you could hear, like when he's saying stuff,
they like...
He for real, for real.
I mean, he being dead serious,
but he making it so funny. Right.
Because Ocho, he studied.
He knew damn near every person
that had been on Club Shea Shea.
He could tell you a line of what they said,
like, not on camera,
but he could say what they said and make it funny.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
But the comedians,
he knew everything they had said.
I'm talking about damn near verbatim.
Yeah.
So it wasn't just no thing that,
okay, I'm going to study you just so I can...
No, no, no, no, no, no.
No.
He like, we watch tape.
You know how we watch tape?
Yeah. And we watch it. We get that tape, we get that film on late Tuesday, no, no, no, no, no. No. He like, we watch tape. You know how we watch tape? Yeah.
And we watch it.
We get that tape.
We get that film on late Tuesday, Wednesday.
And we watch it Wednesday at practice and Wednesday at home.
Thursday at practice and Thursday at home.
Friday at practice and Friday at home.
And then we get it again Saturday morning.
And then we get it again Saturday night before we have the big meeting.
Right.
That's how he studied.
He got to.
In order to be...
In order to be...
In order to come on something
and have that kind of impact
with what you're saying,
you got to have
all your I's dotted
and all your T's crossed.
And that's exactly what he did.
And that's the reason
it's gone the way it's gone
because he was on point.
And he been holding that in
for a little minute too now.
Well, he said that's what he said.
That ain't just started.
He been holding that in for a long time
waiting for the right opportunity
to be able to get that off his goddamn chest
and having your platform
where it is now,
the timing was perfect.
And that's why it's going the way it's going.
But if you look at it, he hadn't posted anything since the pandemic.
And he posted
in three years?
Mm-mm.
And so that's why I was surprised when
they say it's locked in. When TJ told me it's
locked in, I'm like...
I say, are you sure? I'm like...
So... Because normally what we do is that when we have a guest on, I say, are you sure? I'm like, so,
because normally what we do is that when we have a guest on,
we'll like send them a link
and ask them to post it.
Or we'll try and collab with them.
I mean, the collab was him agreeing to sit down.
We haven't seen him.
We hadn't seen him any links.
I mean, 32 million i mean
yeah i mean even as it's slowing down ocho it's slowing down to do it we're doing
instead of doing the eight the 10 million to 12 million that you did we're doing four or five
million still that's hey that's tough boy that's hey i you you know you know who you would have to
you know you would have to talk to or you know the type of person you would have to get to even
top that or even come close to that and and and in order to to top it it would still have to be
something controversial to get to that point yeah yeah i don't i don't honestly
i i can't even i can't even think anybody you'd have to get michael j even think you'd have to get Michael Jordan
and he'd have to tell you
why he left to get why he retired
in 93
and why he left
in 98
and go into details
about things that he's never shared
that's the only thing
that's the only way
Obama saying the decision that he's never shared. Yeah, that's the only thing. That's the only way. I mean, on LeBron,
on LeBron saying the decision,
you know,
this is what, you know,
I mean,
it's going to take somebody
that's big
and not necessarily,
sometimes people think
big automatically means views.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Because the person
has to be interesting as well.
Interesting.
And that's what the comedians can do. If you look at who like really does well, it's comedians.
Yeah. But the thing is, is that you it has to be an environment where you let them go.
See, a lot of times I'm a conversationist, but let's just say for the sake of argument, I'm an interviewer.
Right. I can't make it about, I'm an interviewer. Right.
I can't make it about me
by constantly cutting him off.
Right.
Or her off.
I got to let them talk.
I got to let them
get their point across.
I got to let them say
because that's the only way.
I got to make sure
he holds that train of thought
or she holds that train of thought.
Right.
Me constantly interrupting,
you know,
then the audience is going to say,
man, let him speak, let it talk
and it messes up the rhythm
and what they're talking about too
yes, because the first 30 minutes
he unpacked
so much in the first 30 minutes
it was almost like a little comedy special
in and of itself
before I got to the point
okay, because at the end of the day
we still got to have structure.
Right.
I can't let it be a whole two hours and 46 minutes of just free-flowing.
Right.
We got to get structure.
Mm-hmm.
Tell us where you're from.
Why'd you move here to here?
Mm-hmm.
Why'd you do X, Y, and Z?
Right.
Why'd you do, you know, ABC?
So we had to have some structure.
So while we let him go for 30 minutes, I felt at that point in time, it was time for me to get it back on the track.
Right. And and he was cool with that. And then he's like, it was like, hey, I got my piece in.
Now, what do you want to talk about? I like to talk about what you want to talk about.
OK, let's talk about this. And I thought he was like some of the stuff.
I mean, when you like if you notice you
listen to all my guests the one thing
that they always say universal
you really prepared you done your homework
because
we have you got to though
you got to you got to
you earned their respect they're like
okay you prepared
and
they trust you.
Safe place.
They trust you.
A man,
females, if a man trusts you, there's nothing that he wouldn't do.
Women, men,
if a woman trusts you, there's nothing she
won't do.
Well, once that trust
is broken?
Listen, she won't do. At all. Once that trust is broken? Boy. Listen.
If you on good terms
with a woman.
Yeah.
And y'all might go
y'all separate ways.
If somebody stepped to her
that shouldn't have,
she gonna tell you.
And sometimes she won't
depending on who it is.
And that tells you all you need to know.
Huh?
And there's one thing about human...
It ain't what they tell you,
it's what they don't tell you. That's what
should concern you.
That's the issue, and that's
the problem out there.
It's not what you see,
it's what you didn't see.
For sure. Sometimes you catch something, huh? It's not what you see, it's what you didn't see. For sure. Sometimes you
catch something, right? Sometimes you
catch something and you see it
and you be like, well, damn, if I saw
that a little bit, I wonder
what happened that I didn't see.
But see, Ocho, you drive yourself crazy with that, though.
Oh, yeah. I don't
do that now. I ain't got no problem with that.
One thing about it, human error is inevitable.
Human error is inevitable.
And one thing that I've always been able to do
is I'm very good at managing my expectations
of those I'm dealing with
with great understanding that
of human nature,
an error is inevitable at some point.
Being perfect is damn near impossible.
You can strive to be that, but
mistakes are going to happen.
It's going to happen. So what I've always done,
I've always managed my expectations
of hitting everybody.
Man, a mistake is leaving your phone
in the rental car.
Or leaving your computer on the airplane. That's a mistake.
Have you wanted to hide?
Falling into some hoo-ha.
Or somebody falling into you.
You open your leg for another man
ain't no mistake.
You leave her? What you doing?
I'm just asking.
You leaving?
I'm leaving where?
If you were the woman and she's sleeping with somebody else, you leaving?
How long we been at this thing, Ocho?
What you mean?
The longer you been at it it the harder it is to leave
especially if you love her
I'm with you when you're right
I'm with you when you're right
I'm with you when you're right
did you hear
managing expectations
I think that's one of the things
why we hurt so much
when someone does something that we don hurt so much When someone does something
That we don't expect
Or when someone does something
That is
Oh I thought you loved me
You know
They do
Yeah listen
But
I can still love you
And do this and that
Because there's really no feelings towards
Or in what it is what I'm doing.
I'm trying to keep it clean. I'm trying to keep it PG
because I know we got my kids watching.
But it's
I just still think to this
fact through experience throughout my
years. Yeah, for sure. You know, throughout
my years. Chad, y'all stay with me. Stay with me
now. You just... Stay with me.
Things can happen
and you can love someone and still mess up.
I think at times it happens.
You know, I'm just saying I'm not saying I'm but here's the thing.
Oh, Joe, you can't ask more than you're willing to give.
Yeah.

Through raw conversations, real stories, and actionable guidance,
you can learn to face the mountain that is in front of you.
You will never be able to change or grow through the thing that you refuse to identify.
The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain.
This is the struggle. This is the thing that's refuse to identify. The thing that you refuse to say, hey, this is my mountain. This is the struggle.
This is the thing that's in front of me.
You can't make that mountain move without actually diving into that.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
A time to conquer the things that once felt impossible and step boldly into the best version of yourself to awaken the unstoppable strength that's inside of us all.
So tune into the podcast, focus on your emotional well-being and climb your personal mountain.
Because it's impossible for you
to be the most authentic you.
It's impossible for you to love you fully

I'm Michael Kassin,
founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good
Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but
ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into
mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there are so many stories out there,
and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content,
the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen.
Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide.
And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the
most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app,

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast Come here. Come say hi to her. Now, you don't look at me.
Come here now.
Come on.
Don't do me like that.
Come here now.
Because sometimes people say I'm always talking about, hey, real, and you ain't really here.
No, come here, baby.
Come on, real quick, real quick.
You look good.
You look good.
Don't do me like that.
Come on.
Just say hey to her real quick.
Oh, you got.
Damn, you look good, too.
Hey.
Hey, real.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's my baby right there, boy. Yeah, but my thing is, though, Joe, you look good too. Hey, Raya. Yeah. Yeah, that's my baby right there, boy.
Yeah, but my thing is,
you can't ask more than you're willing to give.
Yeah, you're right.
If you do something,
if you ask her to,
you can't be wrong.
Because sometimes I think
as a man, it's so one-sided.
Oh, yeah.
We always ask for forgiveness and leniency.
But if the shoe's on the other foot...
Oh, it's a double standard, boy.
It's a double standard. You know,
fellas don't play that. But if you move
funny that way, you got to go.
Because I think for us
as men, you can't recover from that.
You can't recover
from if she goes out and does
X, Y, and Z or does some of the things that you've
done, oh, now you're up in arms.
She did you to you?
Oh, now it's a problem?
Oh, now it's a problem.
But see, Ocho, but here's the thing.
Here's the thing, Ocho.
You see, when you date in private, you can break up in private.
If something like that happens, you can deal with it in private.
But if you date publicly, you got to break up publicly.
Yeah.
And you have to deal with the infidelity
on one side or the other publicly.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
Robert Smith said,
I think it's time for the Jags
to cut bait with Lawrence.
I like the Eagles did for wins.
Get it all before people realize who he is.
He's just Daniel Jones.
If Jones was the first overall pick
Did he say cut Trevor Lawrence?
Yeah, that's what he said
He tripping
Trevor Lawrence did not play well today
He didn't play well today
But he got some damn good football
Throughout the year
But you talking about cutting Trevor Lawrence because of today's game?
I think the thing that hurt so much for a Jags fan,
you were 8-3.
Yeah.
And then once they got to 8-3,
the Jaguars sent out a text,
I mean a tweet,
purchasing playoff tickets.
Playoff tickets.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't do that.
Hey, do you never count,
never count your chickens before they hatch.
Ocho.
I mean, sometimes, look here,
I don't let my chickens hatch.
I smash the eggs.
I don't want to take them out. That's what I do for mine, Ocho. I mean, sometimes you look here. I don't let my chickens hatch. I smash the eggs. I don't want to take them out.
That's what I do for mine, Ocho.
But you see.
But Ocho, but you know what happened?
You know when you're gambling and you burned them and you touched the money?
Yeah.
And you're like, hold on, bro.
Let me put my cards down.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't touch that.
Don't burn the money.
Don't do that.
Don't burn the money, Ocho.
It's over now.
You might as well just go ahead and name.
Man, go ahead and touch it.
Take it. I don't even want it. No, I don't think that. You don't burn the money, Ocho. It's over now. You might as well just go ahead and name. Man, go ahead and touch it. I'll take it.
I don't even want it.
No, I don't think that.
I think Trevor Lawrence is a good quarterback.
Yeah.
He's a franchise quarterback at that.
And he just, shit.
Talk about cut.
Trevor Lawrence.
Shit.

Coming to stage one.
Hey, boy. Hey, listen, them days when I used to dance the right track was crazy, man.
I know.
It was crazy.
Greatest day.
Listen, it's all about survival, man.
Where I come from, it's about survival.
So you do the things necessary where you need to survive as long as it doesn't put you six
feet under or don't have you behind bars.
And I did what I had to do. And dancing in 1997, it built character. It built character for
me. And not being shy, it helped me learn to speak in public because obviously, you know,
being in the nude in front of women, it helped me be able to speak in front of large crowds. And it just made me different.
It made me different.
And I got a better understanding as well.
Always, as a dancer, the women, the women of size, the women of health, the big bone,
they tip good.
They tip good.
Because I'm 20, 19, 20 years old and making goddamn $2,500 a night
on a weekend.
That's a lot of money, boy.
But the thing is, but everybody,
look, everybody,
the thing what women need to understand,
everybody ain't fun size.
So they be, you know what I'm saying,
don't you? Yeah. I mean, come on now,
I understand I'm a fairly large man. I'm about
245, 250. Right, right, right.

The dress or the table, I can't, I mean, to hold you, I don't drop you, but I got to brace myself so I don't throw my back out.
Right.
And then don't drop you.
Come on, now, work with your man.

What's the funniest story
You ever told a girl
To go out on a date with you
Funniest story
I ever told a girl
To go out on a date with you? Funniest story I ever told a girl to go out on a date with me.
Funniest story.
You know what?
I don't have a funny story,
but to eliminate rejection
and to eliminate her having
the ability to say no,
I can tell you what I did to make sure she wasn't able
to say no.
You put something in her pocket?
No.
I saw a young lady that
I was interested in.
And I don't use it,
oh, I'm old. I ain't like that.
So, I approach
respectful manner. I'm playing around
and I got a phone in my hand
and I walk up and
acting like, you know what, miss,
I'm sorry to bother you, but my phone really,
it just died real quick
and I just want to make a quick call.
It's nothing important.
I want to call my grandma.
I always say someone important.
So there's really no,
there's no inclination to be like,
hell no, I'm using my phone.
I'll say my mama.
I got, I want to call my grandma real quick.
Boom.
And if she let me,
they always, always go for it
because I look like it's something wrong.
Like, there's really something wrong
and I got to make the call.
Boom, I sit there,
call,
call my phone
and wait,
it's already back in my pocket
and wait, good to the number,
wait, good to the ring.
I feel the vibration.
You know what,
I really appreciate that.
Thank you.
Wait about five minutes and text
and then text.
You already got it.
So, it eliminates the part of rejection.
Right.
And you got to go.
Or them giving you a bogus number.
You can't.
Yeah.
No, that too.
That's what I'm saying.
You don't have to worry about them because you said, okay, they can have your number.
That wouldn't happen, though.
That wouldn't happen.
But I just, to break the ice.
And then now now you you
passed stage one now you're on stage two right now the text message you know what
i ain't really yeah i ain't really feel like dealing with any rejection or any indecisiveness
but now that i do have your number we are going to dinner dinner. Man. I'm not even, no, you're not listening.
I'm not asking.
I'm saying in the first text message.
We going to dinner.
We going to dinner.
Why didn't you just have...
And I just like that.
I've done that before.
Why didn't you just say that?
Why didn't you say that?
I would love to take you to dinner.
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
Because I don't like playing that game.
When you first meet somebody,
I don't like playing that game.
They're just indecisive.
They overthink it. She should have blocked you. She said you were weirdo. Block.
Nope. Nope. Straight to dinner.
Hey, it was less than 24 hours. We was
out. We was out deep.
Oh, yeah.
It didn't take long.
You know me. I've been
somewhat serious, but I
kind of been silly a while.
So I was out in
Colorado, and this pilot had
to be like
90s.
So I saw this chick.
I bet she had short hair.
She had short hair. How you know?
I can tell. I just know. Because since you said
90s, I was like, you know what? I bet she had a short hair.
She had that thing cropped. But
she was, you know, she was Caucasian.
Right.
So I, but she was, when I say she was fat.
Yeah.
Lord have mercy.
Yeah.
So you know me.
Hey.
I was like, hey, you know, I say, you know, you know, what's your name?
She told me her name.
Yeah.
She's, I was like, damn.
Girl, I sure want to, I say, I sure want to take you out.
Yeah.
She said, I've never been out with a black guy.
I said, hell, me either.
Come on, let's go.
Come on with it.
I don't know what you're, I ain't never been out with one either.
So that made you over.
Come on.
We both getting into something new.
Hey, she was serious.
Was she serious?
Was she, she was lying?
Yeah, she was, she was dead ass, yes.
She said, I've never dated a black guy before.
I said, hell, me either.
Come on, let go.
Yeah.
No.
I mean, but I agree with you.
I've been very hesitant because I hate saying no.
And then I hate to introduce myself to somebody and to find out they married or they did.
I was like, damn.
And now I just like...
You got to pay attention to the finger.
I mean, sometimes they might have been working out
or they didn't have their ring on.
Okay, okay, okay.
Or especially if they got a boyfriend.
I was like, oh.
And then, you know...
Oh, wait, you know...
Let me stop right there.
Let me stop right there.
Ladies and fellas in the chat,
don't let no boyfriend or girlfriend
stop you from finding
your husband or your wife.
Don't do that.
Okay, okay.
Ladies and fellas in the chat,
don't let no boyfriend...
We're talking about boyfriend
or girlfriend stop you
from finding your husband or your wife
just because
there's a goalie in net
doesn't mean you can't score
just because there's a goalie in net
doesn't mean you can't score
alright
I don't know
don't let no boyfriend or girlfriend
stop you from finding
your goddamn wife
now this right here
this right here yeah This right here.
Yeah.
You already take it.
You're off the market.
That's off limits.
You're off the market like Boston.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, but here's the thing, though.
Just because you don't order
don't mean you can't read the menu.
I mean, you know,
sometimes they'll leave the menu
there for you to order.
Right, right.
You know what I'm saying?
They'll say,
would you like me to test it?
No, I'm still looking.
Rae will hit you upside your head. No, she's not.
No, we good.
Because with the stuff I'm talking about, this way, oh, this way before she even thought of me.
This is all before she slid in my DM being thirsty.
Oh, she was thirsty?
No, boy, she was thirsty. I'm like, God damn, how many
times you going to send me a message?
If I saw the first three
and I didn't respond, why you send the fourth one?
Because then she waited, but then she
all of a sudden, she looked at her cash app,
and that thing was overflowing.
Like a
sink that's backed up, it was just
overflowing.
No, I ain't got any, listen,
I'm like, damn, little mama,
just chill, chill, chill.
I get to you, I get to you when I can.
That's how, I mean, that's how it was.
And she was just, she was all like,
you know, I just want to, you know,
I wanted to meet you.
And I was just like, I would vibe.
And I was like, I'm like, damn, thirsty?
Yeah.
You feel me? Andre
Resto said, oh, the cognac is on point.
Ocho, can you say a prayer
for my cousin, Lauren
Bubba Dotson? Ain't nothing wrong
with him. He's just an Eagles fan.
Hey, my Eagles
gonna be all right, man. Eagles gonna be all
right. They gonna, first round of playoffs, they finna win the game.
Winning cures all.
Winning cures all.
They got to come out and win.
They can't, they can't, they can't.
They got to.
Winning cures all.
Dear Uncle Nocho, do athletes have the same fear of returning home after success as rappers due to violence?
With the occurrence of such such Young Dolphs and
PNB Rocks death happening consistently.
Did you fear going back to Liberty City?
Nah, not at all. I mean,
obviously, where I'm from,
I think the times are
different, the eras are different.
Now, it just, you gotta
think, when I was coming up in Liberty City, those fellas that was moving like that, you know, there was a huge amount of respect for me even then before I made it.
And that huge amount of respect was still there once I left.
When I was younger and coming up, me trying to be cool and do what they doing.
And, man, if you don't get your ass, I told you, I told you this story before.
Man, if you don't get your ass from around here, man, this ain't what you do.
You ain't even living like that as opposed to in today's,
in today's society
or it's more like,
oh yeah,
come on.
Oh,
come on.
Hey man,
look who hanged up.
I'm hanging with such and such.
Nah,
they would never let that happen.
But them boys
ain't play that back then,
man.
Boy,
you play football,
man.
Count your ass on.
Right.
And still to this day
and when I made it,
it was more out of love
when I come home.
Yeah,
it wasn't like that.
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, my homeboys, they was always out of love when I come home. Yeah, it wasn't like that. Oh, yeah, for sure.
I mean, my homeboys, they was always like, hey, hey, you know, I go down there, I pull up, you know, we talk to them.
They're like, hey, Sharp, I'm about to make this move, man.
I get at you.
Yeah, you got to go.
I mean, hey, go head on.
You get your ass on.
And if I see them, if I was somewhere, I say, hey, man, I'm heading back.
I'm heading back to town.
You know, y'all need a ride.
I say, nah, Sharp, you know what I got on me, man.
The last thing I want, you get pulled over.
They see me in your car, they're going to pull you over.
You're going to be the headline.
Bruh, you put Glenville.
You and your brother got Glenville on the map.
We ain't going to do it.
They looked out for me.
So my homies would never go put me in harm's way.
But I had the utmost respect.
It wasn't like, OK, now I'm this.
I grew up with them.
Yeah.
The only thing that changed, I was in the NFL, but I'm this. I grew up with them. The only thing that changed,
I was in the NFL, but I'm still my homeboy. Because
a lot of times when I had to come back, they're like,
hey, man, tell him I play. Hey, Sharp,
tell him I play ball with you. Tell him I was good.
I'm like, man, you all right. Man, come on, Sharp.
So it was
always like that. I never looked down
on them because all of a sudden
I was in the NFL or I had a nice
car, but I
always treat them the same.
I treat those dudes
during that era.
Obviously, if you know about Liberty City
during that time, obviously, people
in the chat and people that were probably here,
they wouldn't be fond of it, but it was
my surroundings. It's the people that I grew up with.
The things that they did, obviously, you wouldn't like, and you would obviously say, well, why do you condone?
I'm not condoning the things that they did, but it was all I knew at the time.
Those are the people I grew up with.
I didn't do the things they did, and it is what it is.
So I always consider myself,
I left Liberty City
without really leaving,
if that makes sense.
You get where I'm going?
So when I made it to the NFL,
I was still a representation
of where I was from
and I was still me.
Mouthful of goals,
you know,
the shit talking,
the having fun,
the playing the game
like a little kid
and it was cool
and I think they enjoyed that
the fact that i never did change and i'm not saying i did it for them just the fact that i
refused to change and i just stayed true to my authentic self and it was always love and still
to this day yeah you know still to this day well that's how it is uh because even when i left they
still looked at everybody looked at they knew my sister they They knew my grandmother. They looked after my sister.
They looked after my grandmother because that's the kind of respect that they have for me and my brother.
Right. That's the kind of, you know, the way we carried ourselves.
We never carried ourselves that we thought we were better than anybody else.
But I knew that it wasn't about me and my brother because my sister, my grandmother was still there.
Yeah. And, you know, a lot of times my grandmother was home by herself.
But knock on wood,
they would have never disrespected me and my brother like that.
Yeah.
And did something to my, my granny or my, my sister.
So I take my hat off to them because they looked after them
because, uh, uh, when we were away.
Yeah.
But you know, we come home, you know, we have, you know,
I have a cookout invite everybody over.
Hey, don't bring nothing but your appetite.
Yeah.
Crab legs, jumbo
prawns, hamburger
steaks, hot dogs, all the liquor.
You name a liquor, I had it.
Budweiser,
back the truck up, beer, Coors Light.
Coors Light gave me
all the beer that I wanted, and we
just sit and have a good time.
And so they were always...
Okay, great.
They were always very respectful of and we just sit and have a good time and so they were all okay no i was saying they were so they
were always very respected respectful of me and my brother and realized that what we were able to do
and you know put glenville on the map and the way we conducted ourselves while you know but they
looked out after my sister my grandmother yeah and you think about it too you know when you're young
especially during that time as a little kid, growing up, you want to, especially where I'm from in that area, it's only two ways to go.
I wasn't going to be no goddamn academic scholar.
We know that.
I'm just saying.
I got young fellas, man, 14, 14, 15 years old, riding around in goddamn Chevys out, you know, getting money and doing whatever it is necessary.
And when you see that as a youngster,
what's the first thing you want to do?
You want to do the same thing you're doing
because that's what everybody's doing based on
where you're from. But the fact that
they wouldn't
allow me to do that all the way back then
because understanding
that that's not my lane
and that's not what I do
and I was able to make it
dude and I still talk to these dudes
to this day obviously
let me see two of them
you know the head honchos
they locked up but they were able to get
to me you know over the phone
we talk about them old time men on Hadley Park
back in the days
I would have some good days, man. Some good days.
DeJuan Dominique said, as an entrepreneur, Shanna, I need to ask you, why did you sign with the volume?
Call him the cool guy, but I feel like you shouldn't have split. You shouldn't have to split
anything with anyone, anybody. You build it.
Give us insight. Well, here's the thing. Because
what transpired at Fox happened so unexpectedly
I didn't have I didn't have the infrastructure or the know-how of what I was doing because
Fox was doing everything I was just shooting the content and then we were you know we were
splitting it and so I probably should have been thinking but that's on me because I wasn't
thinking far enough ahead because I'm thinking everything's going to be gravy for the foreseeable future.
Obviously, that wasn't the case. So at the time that it happened, I really didn't have a whole lot of options because I didn't have the infrastructure and I didn't have the know-how to do what I needed to do.
Now, you ask me this next year, we might have a different conversation. You ask me about this in two years uh we might have a different conversation you asked me about this in
two years we might have a different conversation but being with colin having an opportunity to
talk to colin knowing colin a little bit uh from working um at the same company his uh
desk a little studio was right across from ours and we didn't converse much, but Colin's always been a big supporter
because even when I was flying my own self out to be on Colin's show,
he would always ask, you know, what does he want to talk about?
And I would just say, you know, I want to talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Football, basketball, it doesn't matter the topic.
I just want to talk.
I just want to get on television so people can see me talk about something other than football.
So if you want to talk about basketball, let's talk about basketball. You want to talk about life, people can see me talk about something other than football right so if you want to talk about basketball let's talk about basketball you want to talk about life let's
talk about life but i just wanted to see people let people see that i can talk about something
other than football so he's always been a big proponent of mine and he was one of the main ones
like you guys need to hire that guy he's a star and so um it just meant a lot to me that he thought
enough of me that i could i could do what i did because there are a lot to me that he thought enough of me that I could do what I did.
Because there are a lot.
Hold on.
Y'all say, why decide with the volume?
There were others.
I don't need to get into it that didn't want to do it.
Because what Colin said, Colin says, I want to partner with you.
I don't want you to come up under me.
Everybody else says, well, you come up under us and do X, Y, and Z.
No, Colin says, I want to be a partner.
I want you to be a partner.
Okay.
Let's do this. So, it's been great.
Hopefully, he's
benefited. I know I've benefited.
We've learned a lot
along the way, and I think it's been
beneficial for both of us.
Casey said, hey,
Uncle Nocho, how do you figure out what drives
you in life, and how do you keep that flame from going out?
Love the show. How wise you both are.
It's easy to see where my flame
ain't going out and what continues
to drive me. I got
miles to feed.
Forget the bills. I got
tuitions to pay. You got to remember
I got a son at Arizona State.
I have a daughter at Prairie View A&M.
I have a daughter at University of Kentucky.
I have a son at Arizona State University.
Shit, they go to flame right there.
They go to flame.
I ain't got time for the flame to go out, mama.
Oh, I ain't even finished.
Let me start with the Angels.
Two-year-old.
I got two-year-old.
I got French fry.
Huh? Yeah. Baby Kennedy.-old, I got French fry. Huh?
Yeah.
Baby Kennedy.
Baby Kennedy has a sister as well.
Cha-cha.
My son, 14.
Bertie was on a seven.
Man, shit.
What keep me going?
There you go right there.
It's simple.
Yeah, I think that's the same thing for me.
My desire to be great and anything that i do
that too i mean why waste my time if i can't be great at it if i can't be the best at it
not saying that i'm gonna be the best but i'm damn sure gonna try yeah and i'm gonna use every
ounce nobody look are there more people that someone might be more talented than me and
someone that can create more better content to me that's something that I can't control
one thing that I can't control is my work
ethic nobody's going to outwork me
so what I lack
in creativity what I
may lack in smarts and know-how
I'm more than make up for it
in work and I'm going to
have people that surround
me that's going to work
and I don't want to say don't tell me that's going to work. Right. And I
don't want to say, don't tell me it can't be done. Just say, well, Shannon, I haven't done it yet.
Right. We haven't done it yet. Or at least try. Yes. Yes. So my motivation is to be great at what
I do, to work as hard as I possibly can, to know my grandmother and grandfather looking down, and they're very proud.
To make my sister proud.
To make my mom proud, my brother, my kids.
People that, Glenville, everything
that I do, I'm a representative of Glenville, Georgia.
I'm a representative of Savannah State.
I want people to look at
somebody from an HBCU
and say, you know what? He might have
didn't have, but he might have didn't have
the best of everything
but he made the most of everything that i had and so look and that's what the difference is you know
somebody might have went to harvard or yale or nyu or i went to an hbcu right but you won't outwork me
because i already know
I had it stacked against me from the jump.
Yeah, from the beginning.
I made it to 55.
I made it to 55.
So you mean to tell me
I don't think I can accomplish
anything I put my mind to?
I made it to 55.
My dad was 39.
He had two brothers that didn't make it to 50.
So I already beat it.
Man, I lived almost
16 years longer than my dad.
16.
Bro, I can accomplish anything.
That's how I approach it.
Now, do I sometimes
lose myself in the outside
world and forget that there's other things
other than work? Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And my sister tells me all the time.
You got to have balance.
You got to have balance.
I don't believe there's a balance to greatness.
Huh?
I don't believe there's a balance to greatness.
Yeah, you can't do that, though.
You can't consume yourself.
You can't consume.
You got to have some type of balance.
I think that's where we're going to have to work.
That's what we got to work on with you.
We got to work on finding some balance in 2024.
Because if you don't have balance
and you're trying to always achieve greatness,
then you're going to lack in other areas of life as well.
That's okay.
Okay.
Well, who's going to push you when you're 80 then?
Who's going to push your wheelchair?
That body, you know,
that body ain't thing still gonna work.
Yeah, boy.
Hey, I push myself.
Come on. I've been a fan of that thing. Come on.
I had a thing
red.
Boy, you here.
Up and Chad, we love to show a question for uh you say jared's the greatest wide receiver ever
because of all the stats and accolades does that mean the greatest running back of all time is emmett
can you give us a shout out much love no jared not only have the greatest uh stamp he got everything
i mean so when you base it i mean bar, Barry has just as many Pro Bowls,
just as many first-team All-Pros, just as many, I don't know,
I think, how many MVPs did Emmitt win?
One or two?
Miss Biddle is out.
Hold on.
Go ahead.
How many Barry got?
Because Barry got 10 Pro Bowls.
How many first-team All-Pros?
First-team total.
And Emmitt only has two, three, or four All-Pros?
So, no, I just think the thing is, from what I saw,
no, I don't look at it like that,
because you look at Barry,
Barry had more Pro Bowls, more All-Pro selections,
than Emmitt.
They both had one regular season MVP.
Emmitt had a postseason MVP, which was a Super Bowl. But when you look at Jerry, Jerry had 13 Pro Bowls.
Randy had six.
Jerry had 10.
How many All-Pros?
10?
10 All-P all pros Randy had 4
the discrepancy
is so vast
and the numbers
I mean, what, you say
Randy got something
he lost him, okay
they created the yak for Jerry
yards after catch
that's Jerry, yards after Jerry. Yards after catch. That's Jerry.
Yards after catch. Rack.
Run after catch.
Come on, man.
And that's not like, look, if you like
Randy, you like Randy.
But for me,
based on what I saw,
so,
as far as Pro Bowls,
Barry has more Pro Bowls than Emmitt.
And he played less years.
Barry has more All-Pros than Emmitt.
And he played less years.
Jerry, at...
Randy had his last 1,000-yard season
at age 30, at age 32.
Jerry had his last 1,000-yard season at age 30, at age 32. Jerry had his last thousand yard season at 40.
A Super Bowl MVP, two offensive players of the year.
And the man told you he played hard when he want to.
The guy asked Ocho, he said said because I said Jerry was the greatest
wide receiver because of all the stats
does that mean Emmitt
is the better yeah I heard him
no because there are a lot of people
that said Jim Brown was a better running back
Walter Payton was a better running back
and that's
you know that's I mean Jimmy only
played nine years the guy won the
MVP as a rookie
tell me the rookie you think is going to come in and win MVP I mean, Jimmy only played nine years. He won the MVP as a rookie.
Tell me the rookie you think is going to come in and win MVP.
That's what Jim Brown did as a rookie.
He won MVP as a rookie.
Okay, tell me the rookie that's going to come in and win Defensive Player of the Year.
That's what Lawrence Taylor did.
Not only did he win Rookie Defensive Player of the Year,
he won League Defensive Player of the year as a rookie.
Now,
remind you,
the sack didn't become an official stat until 1982.
LT got in the league in 81.
Yeah,
you got to be,
you know how great you have to be.
You got to be leaps and bounds above everybody else to come in as a rookie.
You know, they ain't getting rookies anything. No, you got, I'm talking about you. You got to be leaps and bounds above everybody else to come in as a rookie because you know they ain't getting rookies anything no you got nothing about you earn it
you got to be really really really really really really good at what you do yeah really good so
that's where i'm at on that
oh joe i know i know i know who the greatest receiver of all time is.
J.R. Rice?
Ocho.
I don't know, Ocho.
I think, you know what?
I think your title about to be gone
in about five more years.
What?
Jamar Chase gonna be that boy.
Shoot, ain't that shit.
He that boy now.
He that boy before it.
I know who the greatest
entertainer of all.
I know who the greatest entertainer of all.
I know who the greatest entertainer ever that has ever wore an NFL helmet.
I know who that is.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
See, now you're going too far.
See, Ocho, see, you were doing good, Ocho.
I know who that is.
I mean, they already voted you for the best.
I'm better trash talking to you.
That's what they voted.
Man, child, please.
I'm with the voting.
Child, please.
The voters laughed. Hold on, we got one more question, Ocho. All right. I'm a devoted child please the voters laugh
