Starting point is 00:03:55 The Bears defeat the Panthers. Good thing the Bears did that because they possessed the Panthers' number one pick. So there's a good chance they might get the first and the second or the first and the third pick this year's draft. Bears defeat the Panthers 16-13. Tyler Bajet, 20 of 33, 162. Bryce Young, 21 of 38, 185. Wasn't a whole lot going on in this game, Mocho,
Starting point is 00:04:24 but what was one of your takeaways from it? I mean, it really wasn't much to take away. I'm not going to lie to you. You know, I respect everybody that was on the field tonight, but it was a boring game. It wasn't a good game at all. Both sides of the ball, there was a lot of pun. If anything, it was a kicker's game.
Starting point is 00:04:42 That's what I like to call it. It was a kicker's game. You had a special teams touchdown by the Panthers. Other than that, it was a slow game on both sides of the ball. Komet had a very, very good game. He's become a security blanket for Tyler. How do you say his name the right way? I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Beijing. Beijing. He becomes Beijing. He becomes a security man for Beijing. He did well. I would like to see DJ Moore get a little bit more involved and make that offense a little bit more
Starting point is 00:05:13 prudent and efficient. He did what he could to do the catches. Some of the plays that did go to him, he made the most of those. Other than that, this was a bad one, man. This was a bad one. I'm not sure who slays these Thursday night games
Starting point is 00:05:30 or what they saw beforehand as opposed to why they did it. No disrespect to the Bears or the Panthers, but this was bad. It was a snooze fest, and that's no disrespect. I mean that in the most respectful way. You know, the problem is, Ocho, is that you got two teams, one playing with a Division II quarterback, and the other is a rookie, and there's not a whole lot of talent on the offensive side
Starting point is 00:05:58 of the footballs on either side. And then you get them on a short week. So what did you expect to happen? You're not getting Kansas City and Cincinnati. You're not getting two of the more high-flying offenses. You're getting – basically, you're getting two rookie quarterbacks. One, although he was the number one overall draft pick, the other is a Division II quarterback.
Starting point is 00:06:22 I don't know if we could really expect a lot more. I think the, the Carolina is going to have to get a lot better and real soon because Bryce young is only five, 10, 190 pounds. He can't take that kind of pound. He can't keep picking himself off the ground.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Oh, Joe, they've got to get him some talent. They got to get him some playmakers. He's not the same Adam Thielen he was five years ago in Minnesota. We understand that. They're going to probably have to go out to the
Starting point is 00:06:56 free agent market because, remember, they gave up so much in order to draft Bryce Young. So now it's hard for you to develop because you're going to be picking third, fourth round. That's not to say you can't go find a wide receiver in the third or fourth round. You can, but it makes it harder. You're
Starting point is 00:07:12 probably going to have to build through free agency. That's probably the way. And Chicago. Chicago's going to get Caleb Williams. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Remember what Caleb Williams said now? If he has to go to,
Starting point is 00:07:26 if he has to go to a team, that's really bad. He won't, he won't do it. I'm not sure. Yes. That's your question. Don't you give your honest opinion.
Starting point is 00:07:36 You got a chance. You, there's a chance you go to a team and that's not where you want to go, but you know, the moment you sign, you got $40 million fully guaranteed. You go back to college. And what's the potential? ACL, Achilles, blow out your shoulder.
Starting point is 00:07:53 What are you doing? That's a good one. I like when you put it like that, when you give me that analogy, that hypothetical analogy. Obviously, I'm going. But I think Caleb Williams is stuck on that. Remember, was it Eli Manning? Who was drafted? Was it Eli Manning that
Starting point is 00:08:06 was drafted to the Chargers? And they said, uh-uh. It ain't happening. It ain't happening. I mean, I'm not sure if Caleb Williams has the same type of pull, being that that's NFL... He ain't got a brother named Peyton and a dad named Archie. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:08:22 I'm not sure if he had that type of leverage, but as good as Caleb Williams is, as much as he is sought after as far as being an number one pick, I really think he's going to stand on business about having to go to a team like that that is extremely bad. He's going to take the brunt of the issues
Starting point is 00:08:36 and the problems with that franchise. I really think he is. I don't believe he stands. I don't believe he does. I'm not running the risk. You'd be foolish. And you just saw Aaron Rodgers take four snaps and his Achilles go. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:51 You just saw Kirk Cousins, who really never missed any game, in his Achilles. We've seen guys just non-contact injuries. And I don't want to put that in the air. But you have to weigh all those options. You said Eli said, well, I don't want to go play with that team. But Eli said that after they had taken him number one overall. So to say you're going to go back and play.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Remember now, he didn't go back to Ole Miss. He said this. And the Chargers did him a solid. And they got, you know, they got Phillip Rivers. They drafted Sean Merriman. They got some pretty good players out of that. So, for me, I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I don't believe he stands on business. I know it sounds good. And it sounds like, oh, man, he's going to do it. You saw John Elway do it. And you saw Eli Manning do it. But it's so much money involved now. You're talking about 40. And here's the thing, Ocho. Going back to college
Starting point is 00:09:49 puts you another year further away from that $300 million contract. That's how you got to think now. See, you can't think about, well, I'm going where I don't want to go. That's another year you kick the can down the road because by the time he comes up, the contract is going to be 300
Starting point is 00:10:05 350 million so are you willing to put that off for another year I don't believe so Ocho I'll be honest I don't do you think do you think the Bears are going to have the first pick and are you are you ready to move on are they ready to move on from Justin Fields
Starting point is 00:10:21 here's the thing though see they got their first round pick and they got Carolinas no they're going to get the first round pick from carolina that's what they gonna do they got carolinas pick because remember they the bears had the number one pick they traded that so guess what you can do i'm gonna take caleb williams i can trade justin fields i can get another first and a third or a first and a fourth. So now guess what, Ocho? I can have me three. So I have a question.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Do you know what order they're picking? Because if you go Caleb Williams first, is it possible to get Marvin Harrison Jr. or that's not even possible? It's possible. How good are the Bears going to be? How many games are they going to be? Am I willing?
Starting point is 00:11:05 I don't know if I'm willing to package the second pick in the draft and maybe the two top ten picks. I mean, maybe if he has that high of a grade, sure. If you think he's that good, if you think he can be – because think about where Justin Jefferson went. Right. He went like 18, 19. Right, right, right. So you look at some of the top
Starting point is 00:11:27 receivers, I think of the guys that are playing off the charts right now, only Jamal Chase went in the top five. Right, right. Look, look, look where A.J. Brown went. Look what Justin Jefferson went. Look what C.D. Lamb went. Look what Tyreek went. Look where Stephon Diggs went.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Right. Yeah, but Marvin Harrison Jr. what Stephon Diggs win. Right. Yeah, but Marvin Harrison Jr. is special. He's special. He's a game chamber. He's a friend. He's a franchise game chamber type player. He's dynamic from anywhere on the field. He can score. He can hit his head off the goalpost from anywhere on the field. So now that I'm thinking, I know I'm thinking far ahead, but if
Starting point is 00:12:01 the Bears are able to get capable and also find a way to manage and get Marvin Harrison Jr., man, that'd be beautiful. That'd take some of the weight off of the coordinator. But here's the thing. Plus, you get Marvin Harrison Jr. You pair him with a DJ Moore. You pair him with a Cole Kermit.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Now you got something. You're quarterbacking. You got young guys that your quarterback can grow with. That's nasty. Yeah, so that's how you got to think. Get these guys to see the thing. People don't realize, when Peyton got
Starting point is 00:12:40 there, he had Marvin. He had Marshall Falk. They traded Marshall Falk and then guess what they got Andrew and James and then guess what a couple years later they got Reggie Wayne and guess what then they went and got Dallas Clark
Starting point is 00:12:55 and then they paired him with a Brandon Stokely and then they got Anthony Gonzalez so you see how yeah you see what, yeah, yeah. You see what they did. That's what you, that's what you do.
Starting point is 00:13:08 And you get these, these guys, I mean, Phillip Rivers had, he had Antonio Gates basically from the jump. Ben had Heinz for a number of years. He had Plaxico. He had Antoine Randall L.
Starting point is 00:13:21 What's the receiver that ended up winning? He wouldn't end up winning up winning a Super Bowl MVP. Ended up getting traded. Oh, Santonio. Santonio. Santonio. You see what they did? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:33 They gave them. Yeah, yeah. So that's what. Look what. Patrick Mahomes had a Travis Kelsey. Yeah. He gave him a Sammy Watkins. He had a Tyreek
Starting point is 00:13:45 okay he got your ass so give your young guy I don't care how talented he is he can't overcome poor wide receiver play or poor skill position play you got to give him weapons
Starting point is 00:14:00 if you wanted a guy to cook give him some great ingredients to make a great dish. It's really that simple, Ocho. But yeah, it wasn't the best game. But Thursday, I mean, what do you expect? Because, Ocho, you know how it was, man. I didn't start to feel good until damn Friday. How the hell do you expect me to play
Starting point is 00:14:18 and get beat all up? Don't play 65, 70 plays on Sunday, and then I got to turn and flip it right around Thursday. Do it again. You know, today was, ah, 70 plays on Sunday, and then I got to turn and flip it right around and do it again. Today was, it's bad. I hate to say that as much as I love the game of football, it was hard to watch. It was hard to watch, but
Starting point is 00:14:33 it's one thing I know. I hate to skip ahead like this, but next goddamn Thursday, them goddamn Bengals and them Ravens. Yeah. That's going to be a good one that's the one I can get up from and you know what guess what Ocho if you saw they're going to
Starting point is 00:14:50 knock the sword inside you that's one thing you know the Ravens man hey that's one thing having been in that organization for two years oh they're going to play defense now oh yeah that's more than a slogan when they say play like a Raven, oh, they absolutely.
Starting point is 00:15:07 They meant it. Listen, any time it was Ravens week, Marvin Lewis always had a motto. A motto. It was called bring your second chin strap because you was going to need it. Because they going to knock the first one off. Check this out, Ocho. I know you saw this. Earlier today, the Westminster Dog Show tweeted.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Yeah. They have no record of chad being a judge in 1993 no no they didn't say that they didn't say that don't do that don't do that don't do that okay they said they said they said we checked the records from 1993 and i was there they didn't say that i was there i had the photos i have i can get. I can get the photos right now. I wish you would. What group? I told you what group. It was the toy group. It was the toy group.
Starting point is 00:15:52 I judged the toy group. What group did you judge? The toy group. Oh, okay. And I can tell you who won. Who? 1993. It was a Bajon Fris. A Bajon Fris named Stanley. Actually, the Bajon Fris. A Bajon Fris named Stanley. No, actually, the Bajon Fris, JR.
Starting point is 00:16:07 His name was JR, and he was handled by Scott Summer. I don't think he won until 2003, 2004. That was the first year the Bajon won. Again. Not 93. It was 93. How you going to tell me? How you going to tell me?
Starting point is 00:16:22 You do realize that. Hold on. You do realize, like, I actually covered the Westminster Dog Show. Hold on. You covered and I judged. You covering and me judging is two totally different things. Okay, since you judged, how many teeth does a dog have? How many what?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Teeth does a dog have? Is it what, 40, 43, right? 42. How many on the top? How many on the bottom? It's more on the top? How many on the bottom? It's more at the top than it is at the bottom. No, it's more at the top. It's less at the top than it is at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:16:53 No, it's more at the top than it is at the bottom. It's 20 at the top and 22 at the bottom, Ocho. Wait, you laughing? I ain't far off now. I wouldn't lie to you, Ocho. Ocho, you know I wouldn't lie to you. I think you're lying to me, though. I wouldn't lie to you. But I know. Come you, Ojo. Ojo, you know I wouldn't lie to you. I think you lying to me, though. I wouldn't lie to you.
Starting point is 00:17:06 But I know. Come on. Give me some more questions. I know about my dog, man. When I covered it, obviously, you know, you had to know what you're talking about. And they asked me what breed would I like to cover. Now, I've owned Rottweilers, Akitas, Bullmastiff, Pomeranians. You had an Akita? I did. They beautiful, man.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Beautiful. God damn. You got your work cut out for you with dealing with those now. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. They're loyal. That's the most loyal dog I ever had. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Did you hear the story about Hachi? They had a guy in Japan. He used to go to work. He had to catch the train to go to work, which was about 35 miles away. He was a professor. Right. And the dog would go walk to the train station with him, go back home and around the time the dog,
Starting point is 00:17:49 and he would wait, he would wait for the dog. He would wait for his owner to come back. His owner had a heart attack one day and didn't return. He went to, he'd go back to the train station every day for nine years and wait for his owner to come back. And he never came back. Every day. They're loyal like that.
Starting point is 00:18:11 We would literally have to give my dog anxiety medicine because when I left to go, I was working at CBS at the time. Right, right. He would literally throw up. He would just sit in the window. He would just sit in the window and wait for me to come back home. He wouldn't eat. He would just sit in the window and wait for me to come back home. He wouldn't eat. He would just sit there and wait. I have a question. Now, you've owned
Starting point is 00:18:30 a lot of dogs, and there's a pain. There's a pain that I can't deal with, and I'm not sure how you're able to withstand that pain. When you lose a dog, when a dog passes away, how do you deal with that pain? It took for me, once I got to high me, once I got to high school,
Starting point is 00:18:46 once I got to high school and I lost my bulldog, I couldn't do it no more. I couldn't stay in that pain no more. There's nothing, there's no pain like losing an animal, man, that you've had for nine, ten years. How do you continue to do it and put yourself through that? Because the love that I have for them and the love that they give me ocho and and and i and i told you this when i had i lost uh i lost titus not no
Starting point is 00:19:12 titan i had a dog had a bull master i had two lost both of them named titan and the thing was what hurt me so bad is that he was only 30 months old and when I was explaining to the people as I was posted, I was talking to them on Facebook that I was going to have to put him down. I said, some things can only be seen through the eyes that have cried. Unless you've had a pet and lost it, you can possibly, and people say that all the time. And people that ask me, like, man, how you, you never owned a pet. Now, Samson, Samson, you never owned a pet. Now,
Starting point is 00:19:45 Samson, Samson. I remember, uh, Samson was the key that I had. And I remember my girlfriend at the time calling me and she said, well, she said,
Starting point is 00:19:53 Shannon, he's not doing well. I don't know if he's going to make it until you get home. That was Saturday. Yeah. So he'll make it. I said, he's not going to go until he sees me.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Yeah. So when I get home, I get, cause I couldn't come home. I couldn't come home that night. I had to come home early the next morning. So I caught the first flight out. I get home. He's laying on the floor on her side of the bed and I walk it, I walk into the room. I called him Bo. I didn't call him Sam. I called him up. I said, Bo, he lifts his head up and he's thumping his tail. He could. That's all he could do. He could just thump his tail. Just thump his tail on the floor. And it was like, OK, I'm good now. I don't saw daddy. I'm good.
Starting point is 00:20:37 So by that time, I've all we've already made, you know, the nurse was going to come over and they were going to put him down. Ocho, I'm talking about it was almost instantly. He was so ready to go. Man, as soon, I'm talking about probably one drop, he was gone. He just, he had to see me. He wasn't going to go until he saw me. All my dogs are the same way. I had a Tonka man, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:21:10 He was perfect. I'm talking about he was jumping up on the bed and everything. And Thursday, he had like a little limp. I said, but okay. He's okay. He's getting a little old, but I'd say he's okay. Friday, he struggled, but he came up the stairs. And so I was like, okay, I'm going to take him to the bed. If he don't get any was like, okay, I'm going to take him to the bed.
Starting point is 00:21:26 If he don't get any better than this Monday, I'm going to take him to the bed. So I'm upstairs on Saturday morning and I hear him struggling, trying to come upstairs. And I run down the stairs. I got the two little ones at the time, Taz and Tarzan. I got the two little ones and I go downstairs. I said, nah, I said, nah, don't worry about it, buddy.
Starting point is 00:21:46 So, I grabbed my keys. I had my phone because I already knew I was going to take him to the bed. I said, you want to go for a ride? He loved a ride. Oh, Joe. He take two steps outside and falls.
Starting point is 00:22:02 So, now, I got to pick a 167-pound dog up and I got to pick 167 pound dog up and I pick, I got so much adrenaline going. I pick him up like he a pillow. I put him in my car and I'm driving to the vet. I got the windows down. He's looking at the window cause he loves, he has a seizure. So now I'm driving down Wilshire. He's having a seizure about to jump out the window
Starting point is 00:22:25 so I've got to hold the steering wheel like this and grab him and pull him back so I go away I run into the van I said my dog had a seizure you know blah blah blah he can't walk so they get there and they ask what happened I said we came outside
Starting point is 00:22:42 I was going to bring him here and he just collapsed he just collapsed. He just doesn't have any movement in his hind legs. They said, okay, we'll see what we can do for him. I drove out of there saying he's never going to be the same boy.
Starting point is 00:22:57 He's never going to be the same Tonka man again. So he stayed there. They ran some tests and they said, well, Mr. Sharp, they think he had a blood clot and it paralyzed him from his back down i went and got him uh that wednesday me and my girlfriend we went and got him i rode him around i always would take him every day i took him around the block i took him his favorite took him the scenic route around right um she made him his favorite meal she made him steak and potatoes uh real who's a good friend of mine who used to watch him as a puppy,
Starting point is 00:23:27 she came over and saw him. She said, can I come over and see him? I said, yep. CJ, my producer, came over and brought him some treats. Had the guy come over. I said, boy, it's going to be okay. I said, Tonka Man is going to be okay. And I put him down.
Starting point is 00:23:44 But Ocho, people say, you know, I've heard people say, you know, I found happiness. Or I found myself. Happiness and self isn't something you find. It's something you create. I've created a happiness
Starting point is 00:24:04 with those dogs that is indescribable. find is something you create. I've created a happiness with those dogs that is indescribable. And like you said, oh, it's pain. Because my sister had two Rottweilers at first. And my sister, I gave them to my sister because the apartment complex wouldn't let me have two dogs.
Starting point is 00:24:20 And so I told my sister, you know, to take them. Man, and one of them dogs lost she said Shannon I'll watch your dogs but I don't want another one she said she said that pain hurt me like I lost a child and she actually did lose her son and she said Shannon it hurt like that yeah she said I don't want another she said I'll watch him I'll come stay as long as you need me to stay she said, I'll watch him. I'll come, stay as long as you need me to stay. She said, but Sheldon, I can't do this again. So I understand what you're saying, but man,
Starting point is 00:24:49 Ocho, I've had a dog every year since 92. I can't imagine my life without one. I can't. I can't deal with that pain. You sitting here telling me, you telling me stories of your dog, you got me over here crying and they ain't even my damn dog. I ain't even lose them. That's the type of that's, no, it's, I can my damn dog. I ain't even lose them.
Starting point is 00:25:08 That's the type of, that's, no, it's, I can't do it. I can't, I can't withstand that pain again. When I lost my dog, that bulldog, when I was in high school, never again. Never again. Because they don't ever get upset at you. I don't want that. Ocho, you can yell and scream and leave the house. When you come back, they're going to be waiting on you at the front door. Man, where you been? Man, I've been waiting
Starting point is 00:25:28 on you all day to get back home. You just not get back home. Come on, let's go to the backyard. What you eating? Give me some of what you eating. There's nothing like a love that an animal I mean, I've never owned a cat, but you know, cat people say the cat give them the same type of love and satisfaction that a dog does.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yeah. So, oh, you know what, Ocho? people say the cat give them the same type of love and satisfaction that a dog does yeah so uh oh you know what i wanted to get and i know you probably heard of it by now i wanted to respond to some of the criticism and i normally don't respond to the criticism because i don't i don't care anyway and there have been a lot of guys there have been a lot of people taking shots at me personally. But we know why. They see Unk and Ocho. They see the success that we're having. They see Club Shea Shea, the success that I'm having doing that. They see the success that I'm having on ESPN. So sometimes the only success someone can have is that they take a bite out of you.
Starting point is 00:26:19 That's their success is about biting you. And I'm cool with that. But I was asked, and I think the question was, is that LeBron said he would be still the same player had he never played in Miami. Absolutely. And two things can be true. I believe LeBron James would have still been the all-time leading scorer. I still believe LeBron James would have scored 30,000
Starting point is 00:26:45 points, had 10,000 rebounds, 10,000 assists. I still believe he would have been a first-team All-NBA player. I still believe he would have been a multi-time All-Star player. But the pushback that I'm going to give, I do not believe he's LeBron James

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.
Starting point is 00:30:28 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Because without that, because prior to him going there, he had zero championships, but two MVPs. He goes to miami he gives two titles and two more mvps so now he's four and two there's only a handful of people now you gotta go there's only three people before lebron did it wilt got four jordan has five russell has five and i think kareem has six so there there's four people. So now LeBron is an exclusive company. So now people got like, hold on, wait a minute. And he had him at the age of 28.
Starting point is 00:31:54 So now he goes back to Cleveland. He gets another title. Four and three. He goes to LA. He gets another title. Now he's four and four. So now he he gets another title now he's four and four so now he's an elite company he's one of one of two men to win multiple mvps two locations kareem right three and three three in milwaukee three in la he's one of two men to win multiple mvps uh finals MVPs, at different locations.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Kawhi, San Antonio, Toronto, Kareem, Milwaukee, LA, LeBron James. So could you still be the same player? Yes,
Starting point is 00:32:37 but not the player we know because without that, because whether you see, here's the thing, Ocho, you can't say, and everybody keeps saying, he could go anywhere and win those titles. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Kevin Durant. At that age, he can. Kevin Durant went to Golden State, stayed three years, won two titles, finals MVP both years, got hurt the third year, even though advanced, they lost. He went to Brooklyn for four years. How many more times, how many more championships he won? Whoa, can I ask you a question? Let me stop you right there.
Starting point is 00:33:07 We talk about LeBron James. Okay. We talk about the greatest play. We talk about the greatest play on the planet that would change the dynamic of any team he's on. So in his 20s, in his early, in his late, late, late 20s,
Starting point is 00:33:19 they say 28, he could have went anywhere. He could have went to any team and they would have been in the finals. Why did he go to Miami then? The way he told him to come home. No, no, no, no, no. But you said he could have went anywhere. He could have went to any team and they would have been in the finals. Why did he go to Miami then? D-Wade told him to come home. No, no, no, no, no. But you said he could have gone anywhere.
Starting point is 00:33:30 I mean, he could have gone anywhere. That was the best chance for him to win. Am I correct? What? Obviously, he wanted to pair himself. He wanted to pair himself with Bosh and Wade. I mean... See, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:33:41 see, this is what... You can't say... Remember, he won with Cleveland, right? Yes. Who did he have on the team with him? But here's the thing. What knowledge did he take back that he had acquired from Miami back to Cleveland? How to win.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Oh, so where did he learn that? In Miami. Okay, then. So without that state in Miami, is he the same? Do we view him the same? Without those four MVPs, without those two other MVPs, because here's the thing, Ocho, this is what we got to look. If he doesn't get those two MVPs, regular season,
Starting point is 00:34:18 and those two final MVPs, how do you put him in front of Kareem? Kareem has six regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, five titles. How do you put him in front of Kareem? Kareem has six regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, five titles. How do you put him in front of Jordan, who's six and six? How do you put him in front of Tim Duncan, who has five titles, three finals MVP, two regular season MVPs? How do you put him in front of Magic? Magic has three regular season MVPs, five finals, three finals MVPs. How do you put him in there if he doesn't have that Miami stint on his resume? You're underestimating how great LeBron is. I think if he didn't go to Miami, if he chose to go somewhere else, regardless of where it would have been,
Starting point is 00:34:58 I think the outcome would have been the same. No, that's not what he said. Even he said it. If you read LeBron James'ames tweet this is what lebron said you damn right i would still be i'm chosen ain't nothing changing maybe less rings but dominant from start to finish even he said it he said maybe less rings but common sense of the eye test will tell you wherever lebron goes that team hell or high water, is probably going to be in the finals or in contention to be in it. No, no, no. No, no.
Starting point is 00:35:28 It's always been that. You got to win it. It's always been that with him. Hold on. It can't be contention because he went to the finals four years in Cleveland. He won one. Yeah. He's only won one title in L.A.
Starting point is 00:35:39 He's been here five years. So we can't automatically assume because that's hypothetical we can let's deal with what we know Ocho we've got to deal with what we know and that's what I'm saying because now without those two extra MVPs regular season without those two extra finals MVPs guess who else you bring into the equation one Stephen Curry yeah Because Steph has four. Yeah. Steph has two MVPs and a final MVP. So now let's just say for the sake of argument, LeBron has two regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs. MVPs, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Are we looking at LeBron the same way? Yeah, we are. No, we're not. Because he's different. No. He's different. I mean, he's different. No, he's different. So are you basing his greatness solely on MVPs and titles alone? That's it. But that's how you get into the GOAT debate is rings. Remember? Rings. No. Okay. Right. You and I both said you can be great and not have ring. Charles Barkley was a great player.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Karl Malone was a great player. John Stockton was a great player. We can't, we can't put, we can't put them on the same stratosphere on the same pedestal as LeBron. But let me ask you, LeBron is different. He's, he's in a category of his own with Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant. But what does he have? Rings, rings, Ocho. Right. I understand what you're saying, but even still, just even, even, even without the rings, dude, dude, he's, he's.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Ocho, without the rings, he's not in the gold conversation. Without the rings, he's not in the gold conversation. So you. He's out of it. He's out of it. It's not even a debate. See, for me, I don't put anybody i don't put if you look at my top five my top five you have to have at least three regular season mvps that's how i took it three so let me ask you a question yes let's say he had the scoring title yes but he wasn't able to win any rings or championships.
Starting point is 00:37:46 So he's not in the goal conversation? He wouldn't even, no. Because he don't have any rings. He wouldn't even be in the conversation. So how would you put him with no rings? Hold on. Ocho, think about this here. Is it different for football then?
Starting point is 00:38:01 No. So the players that were great that have never won a ring, does that mean they're not great? They're not in the conversation because it's a team game. It's a team game. But here's the thing. When you look at quarterbacks, name a quarterback. It's Brady, Montana.
Starting point is 00:38:16 It's Manny. Yeah. Now, see, and this is what we talk about the levels. This is what we're talking about goals because you can be great and not and not have rings you can i believe that i believe you can be great and not have ring charles barton was a great player okay look at how we look at kevin durant look at scott now excuse me i take that. I'm talking about Kevin. Look at how we looked at Kevin Garnett before and then after he got that ring. You see the difference?
Starting point is 00:38:52 Look at how we looked at Dirk Nowitzki before and after he got the ring. So my argument is, how would we be able to say LeBron is a goat with just two rings? When Kobe has five, when Duncan has five, when Kareem has five, when Jordan has six, when Magic has five,
Starting point is 00:39:18 and all the guys that I mentioned are Jordan, Jordan has six, has five regular season MVPs. Magic has five regular season MVPs. Magic has three regular season MVPs with three finals MVPs. So, you're right, but I don't believe
Starting point is 00:39:34 without Miami because here's the thing. We saw. I believe, and I think everybody out there believe, had Kevin Durant not gotten hurt in 2019, Toronto not beating them. No, absolutely not. But you see what can happen? You see what can happen?
Starting point is 00:39:48 One injury changed the landscape. Yeah. You see what happened with Kevin Durant, with LeBron? Kyrie and Kevin Love got hurt. Changed the whole complexion of the series, didn't it? Right, right. Kevin Durant in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Kyrie gets hurt. James Harden is dealing with a hamstring. You see how things got to be? Now, this is what we know for LeBron. He's averaged 25 points. He's never scored less than 25 points in the season since his rookie year. He averages 27-7-7. I believe he goes anywhere else and still averages 27, seven and seven.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Yeah. But averaging 27, seven and seven ain't the same as what he did in Miami. And when he got two more MVPs back to back, two more finals, MVPs back to back, it changed the way we looked at it. But I still,
Starting point is 00:40:40 I'm telling you, I still think you, your, your knowledge of the game of basketball is much better than I am. Me, as an outsider watching in, I think, regardless of what LeBron tweeted, minus Leshrings, minus Leshrings is my ass. I have a feeling that he could have went to any team, any NBA team, obviously with a supporting cast, an efficient supporting cast, and done the exact same thing he did in Miami. I know he could have. I know he could have. I know he could have because he's that special of a player.
Starting point is 00:41:08 He's that special. How do we know? Because remember, it takes more than just four to win a title. Look at the resume. The resume speaks for itself. Ocho, think about how close they came to losing the title. They was a Ray Allen backpedal behind the three. Three.
Starting point is 00:41:27 The greatest shot in NBA history. Clutch. Just to survive. Right. So for us to sit here and say, well, he could have gone anywhere else and won anything, it's really not that simple, Ocho. Not for a championship.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Is it that simple for him to go somewhere and average 27-77? Or to average 30 like he did for the lakers two years ago and like he averaged 29 last year sure he's that he's that he's lebron he's a goat right and i said what made me put him there is that when i factored into regular season mvps i factored into finals mvps at three different stops. Now, Ocho, 30,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 10,000 assists. You factor in all the first team, all the NBAs. You factor in all the all-star appearances.
Starting point is 00:42:15 You start factoring all of that. This is just not a longevity because there are a lot of guys that played 20, not a lot of guys, I think there are nine guys that played a total of 20 years or more, but they're averaging four points he's gonna average four he's gonna end up averaging what he's he i don't i don't know if he averaged 27 but he'll probably be around 24 25 points a game and you're 21 yeah so that's that's that's what i believe though i think the thing is ocho i think what the reason what what caught people so far off guard is that this is a totally different audience, ESPN, than when I was at Undisputed. And if you watch me on Undisputed, you know that I've criticized some of the things LeBron has done.
Starting point is 00:42:58 We had a play, some of the things that he's said. I think that people had this perception that all I do is Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate, Kate for LeBron. Right. And that's not true. I don't believe any player. I don't believe any person is beyond reproach. I don't believe any player or any person is a beyond criticism because you have being who you are. Criticism comes along with it. Right. If you don't want the criticism, you should not take the praise. Yeah. He's still in my estimation to go,
Starting point is 00:43:33 but I believe it took that Miami stint to put him on the path. Now going back to Cleveland, going to four more, winning an MVP, going to the Lakers, winning another finals MVP. And he's been dominant. He's been great. So they made it seem like I say LeBron was a bum. Man, if he ain't go to LeBron. And it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, Ocho. Miami benefited. LeBron benefited. A lot of times we just want to say, no, you benefited. But I like to think in a relationship, no matter if it ended or not,
Starting point is 00:44:11 we both got something out of it. Right. I like that. That's just me. Now, sometimes we're like, I ain't getting nothing out of that. I ain't getting nothing. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Okay. I took something. Maybe if it wasn't nothing but a damn good meal. I got something out of it. That's a good one, man. That's a good one. But I'm telling you, I wholeheartedly believe he could have gone anywhere. He came to the heat, what, 2012? 2011.
Starting point is 00:44:37 2010, because they ended up losing. Think about it, Ocho. Think about it now. For me, had he won 2011 against the Mavericks, I don't even think it's a debate. I don't think it's Ocho. Think about it now. For me, had he won 2011 against the Mavericks, I don't even think it's a debate. I don't think it's a debate. A lot of people can't put LeBron in front of Jordan for the simple fact
Starting point is 00:44:53 of 2011. They said, I just can't do it. Because I saw guys that Jordan would have scored 60 on. They're not putting J.J. Barea on Michael Jordan. They're not putting J.J. Barea on Michael Jordan. They're not putting Deshaun Stevenson on Michael Jordan. And so a lot of people can't get over that hurdle there.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Right. Right. But I believe it took all of that to get him to what we see now. The finished product that we see now happened because of 2011. Yeah. But the finished product would have been the same regardless of where he was at because of who he is. Because of who he, but the finished product would have been the same regardless of where he was at because of who he is. Because of who
Starting point is 00:45:27 he is, the finished product. You can't tell me, well, if he didn't come to the Miami Heat, the finished product of what we're witnessing now wouldn't be who he is. It would still be the same guy. But you're saying individually. See, I'm not talking about individually. I'm talking from a team aspect as well.
Starting point is 00:45:43 I'm talking from a team aspect and having MPPs and championships. If he went somewhere else, he could have still done it. But think about Ocho. He's averaged probably, look at that. He averaged 30, 29 last year.
Starting point is 00:45:56 Right. 28, 29 last year, 30 the year before. They ain't win no titles. I have a question. I have a question. This is something I don't have in front of me.
Starting point is 00:46:04 He went to the Heat in 2011. Right? Yeah. I wish I had the rosters of the other teams to choose from that he could have gone to, and I guarantee you could pick at least five or six other teams he could have gone to, and they would have been in the finals with the opportunity to win a championship.
Starting point is 00:46:20 And he had an opportunity to get those MVP finals. I guarantee you. I just don't have the information in front of you right now. Off the top of my head. I think I can remember. I know Miami was one. He ended up going to Miami. I think the Knicks,
Starting point is 00:46:31 but talking to Rich Paul, Knicks were never really in play. And I think Chicago. Oh yes. Yes. And I'm not, I'm not sure. I'm not sure the rosters,
Starting point is 00:46:43 but yes. Well, you had at the time you had D. Rose you had Yoakim Noah you had you had Tom Gibson cause that year he won the MVP over LeBron come on man so you mean
Starting point is 00:46:56 to tell me Jimmy Butler oh championship championship MVP and a ring with the Bulls that year. Yes. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:47:08 But. There's no but about it. That's an MVP, championship. Trust me. And it's not even a hypothetical. I put, I put my life savings on that.
Starting point is 00:47:18 If it was to happen, I wish, I wish we could rewind time. We can't though. We can't. Prime D, Prime D road, Jimmy Butler, Joe Kim Noah, we can. Prime D, Prime D, Jimmy Butler,
Starting point is 00:47:26 Joe Kim, Noah, and LeBron. And you mean to tell me that I wouldn't know Chip? We never know. Have we seen? We do know. We've seen,
Starting point is 00:47:35 Ocho, we've seen things happen. Just because you have the most talent, you've seen teams. Look. Look at the Patriots. Patriots had the most talent. You remember in 2007 look. Look at the Patriots. Patriots had the most talent.
Starting point is 00:47:46 You remember in 2007? And the little old Giants barely made the playoffs. Got them. I mean, who would have thought the Dallas Mavericks would have beaten the Miami Heat? Who would have thought the Detroit Pistons would have taken down
Starting point is 00:48:02 Shaq and Kobe? Oh, yeah. Think about that now. Hey, them boys, that was Ben Wallace and them boys, huh? Ben, Shee, Rhea, Chance, Tayshaun. They were playing some defense, boy. And see, Ocho, that's what I say. You don't know. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Let's deal. The only thing I can say for certain, looking at LeBron James' career, is that pencil him in for 27-7-7. Write it in the book. And I'm writing it in non-erasable ink. You can't erase it. That's what I know.
Starting point is 00:48:36 But championships are a lot harder to come by. People keep talking about Jordan was six for six. Jordan played 15 years. So the other nine years, he didn't get there. Right. You're right. years, he didn't get there. Right. You're right. Well, I have a question. Since we're on the topic of basketball,
Starting point is 00:48:51 on something that I need to gain a little bit more knowledge about. Okay. What do the Lakers need? Outside of Anthony Davis staying healthy, they need one more. One more star. They got to hit some shots. It's the first time, I think,
Starting point is 00:49:08 in NBA history through the first eight games they've made less field goals from the three and shot a worse percentage. In NBA history. It's still early, though. They instituted the three-point line in 1979.
Starting point is 00:49:22 That was a year after you was born. That's when the three-point line line Chris Ford made the very first three point shot. So think about that. Go back all the way back. They've been outscored by 74 points in the first quarter, which is the most in NBA history through this amount of games.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Wait, outscored by how much? 74. Hey, man, we got to go to a Laker game, man. How much course size seats? Ocho, before I get to that, we just hit a quarter of a mil. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Thank you. We got to get the guy, whoever the person was, that was our 250,000 subscriber. He got to get the guy that whoever the person was that was our 250,000 subscriber. He got to get a special something. So we're going to find out who our 250,000. We got a quarter of a million. 250,000?
Starting point is 00:50:14 Yeah. Now the goal is to try to get us a half a million. We got to get a half a million by the end of the year. You know what we should do? Whoever the 250,000 person is, we should get them 250,000. 250,000 what? Pennies? No, $250,000 person is, we should get them 250,000. 250,000 what? Pennies? No,
Starting point is 00:50:27 250,000 dollars. You, we go half and half. No, we're not going to go half and half. I think that's what we should do. And every time, every time we hit,
Starting point is 00:50:34 when we hit 500,000, we should go half and half. Give whoever the 500 subscribers is. That's something you and the volume can work out. No, I'm talking about this between me and you. This,
Starting point is 00:50:43 this, this me and you, we doing this. I ain't got it like that. I ain't got it like that. You do. You flying private. You got your little
Starting point is 00:50:51 Goyard bag. You got your little doll. You got your little $10,000 doll. I better go half on a little mini-me with somebody, but that's all I can go
Starting point is 00:50:58 half on right now, Hocho. Mini-me? Who's pregnant? I ain't nobody pregnant. Honestly, that's the only thing I'll be able to go half on. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's the only thing I'll go half on. Okay, okay, many. Who's pregnant? I don't know. I ain't nobody pregnant. I just don't think I'll be able to go half on. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I don't know if I'll go half on. Okay, okay, okay. No, but I'm just saying that would be dope. Hey, look, that's never been done before, man. Think about it. Let's sleep on that, man. Think about it. Every time we hit a certain milestone, we should get...
Starting point is 00:51:20 You tell me to sleep on that, I might not wake up, Ocho. We got to make it fun and exciting for the people, man. Can you imagine? Whoever the 500,000 subscriber is, they get 500 grand. You give them 250, I give them 250. I ain't got it like that, Ocho. Thank you for clicking, subscribing to Nightcap. Please, please, our goal now is to get to a half a million
Starting point is 00:51:46 by the end of the year. That's our goal. That's our goal. And we, like, every, but every milestone, every time we, okay, we hit a quarter of a million, we're going to find out
Starting point is 00:51:56 who the quarter of a million subscribers is. And so throughout, and it's just not going to be at milestones 300, 350, 400, but periodically, some random subscriber is going to get a, you know, we're going to send something in your direction to show the amount of our appreciation.
Starting point is 00:52:12 It's going to be money. It might be money. It might be a signed helmet. It might be a signed jersey. It might be tickets to a game. No, Unc, in this economy, people need money. We're going to send you some money. Ocho, I want you to stop talking.

Starting point is 00:53:37 along, Ocho. Thank you for clicking and subscribing to Unc and Ocho. Nightcap, 250,000 followers. Thank you very much. Ryan Tannehill. Wouldn't help Malik Willis, but had no problem helping Will Levis. This is what he said. He said, Tannehill on Will, but it's a situation that I'm in.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I have to walk through it. Will has done some good things, obviously. He came in, played well, and I'm going to be here and answer any questions he might have and help him out along the way. This is what Tanny Hill said when the Titans drafted Malik Willis. I don't think it's my job to mentor him. I'm just trying to figure what happened in the year. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:20 You didn't want to mentor Malik Willis, but you got no problem answering any questions that Will Levers may or may not have. Well, I think obviously when you draft a quarterback, you know he's coming after your job. I think Brett Favre said the same thing about Aaron Rodgers, if I'm not mistaken, something similar to that. It wasn't his job to mentor him.
Starting point is 00:54:42 And that's a hurtful thing, knowing that a quarterback is coming in to take your job. I think now a hurtful thing, knowing that a quarterback is coming in to take your job. I think now, at this point... You believe in your ability? Oh, yeah. Me? Oh, yeah, yeah. I believe in mine.
Starting point is 00:54:52 I ain't worried about it. But I ain't worried about it. But you know they're trying... Why they take the quarterback? Because they're trying to get him out of there. They're trying to get him out of there. You know that. Ask yourself.
Starting point is 00:55:04 If you notice, they wasn't drafting. What's the likelihood you think they draft another receiver in the first round as long as Chase there? Ain't happening. It ain't happening.
Starting point is 00:55:15 So, Ryan Tannehill should be mad. For me, this is the way I approached it, Ocho. I was so secure in my job. I'm going to tell you. See, I talked to guys and every guy that backed up me went to the Pro Bowl. Todd Heat, when I was in Baltimore, I'm going to tell you. See, I talked to guys, and every guy that backed up me went to the Pro Bowl. Todd Heat, when I was
Starting point is 00:55:28 in Baltimore, I left, he went to the Pro Bowl. Dwayne Carswell and Byron Chamberlain, when I left, Carswell went to the Pro Bowl for the Broncos, Chamberlain went to the Pro Bowl for the Vikings. But we had that relationship. I know they couldn't get my job. I was secure. But
Starting point is 00:55:43 I needed them, if something happened to me, I needed them to know, damn, even though they didn't get my job i was secure but i needed them if something happened to me i needed them to know damn near even though they didn't have the physical abilities that i had i needed them to know the team couldn't miss a beat how selfish am i gonna be to withhold anything that could help them because people help me i remember being in training camp and having a guy tell me the wrong route and I said, if I ever got in that situation, I would never do that to a player. Wait, somebody told you the wrong route? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:11 As a joke? No. Bro, it's cutthroat. We're both low-round picks. He's trying to make the team. I'm trying to make the team. Okay. Oh, he on that. Oh, he on that. And I said, I just swore. I said, Lord, if I'm fortunate enough to ever make it, I'm going to tell a lot of guys,
Starting point is 00:56:29 I see guys coming in the huddle and I can tell you can tell when a guy coming to huddle, he don't know what the hell he got to do. I said, man, you, you got to come back. So, and so, yeah, you hot now. Hey, you hot. Make sure you, Hey, Hey, you got this route, but if it's covered too, you got to release outside release outside and run the fade so Ocho you know when a guy
Starting point is 00:56:48 coming in he don't know what the hell he doing so before and the thing that I like they were patient with me
Starting point is 00:56:56 Ocho man I ain't know nothing let me tell you I'm gonna tell you a true story Ocho Dan Reeve used to send the plays and he have a player you know
Starting point is 00:57:04 I run a play, I'll come back out. Next play, he send me in with the play. So, I'm tired now. I don't got tired. You know, when you get tired, Ocho, you know, fatigue will make cowards up a song. Yeah. Dan got his hand on my shoulder. He said,
Starting point is 00:57:18 tell me the play. I run in the ball game. I breathe in. John, look at me. John said, what's the play? I said, I forgot. I'm out. I did, Ojo. I'm sorry. Ojo, I want to go. How you forgot to play from the sideline to the huddle? I forgot. You know,
Starting point is 00:57:35 I'm running up. John, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I get in the huddle. I'm down. I'm down. Look at the John. John, look at me. He's like, T, what's the play? I'm like, oh, shit. I forgot. I did, man. I forgot.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Man. I didn't want to look over there, Dan, because I already know he was cursing. Yeah, he was hot. I knew he was hot, man. You done made a man waste of time out, man. He wasted time out, man. He wasted time. But, but, but what, so what, what do you think happened between last year and says, I don't think it's my job to mentor Malik Willis.
Starting point is 00:58:13 And this year where he says, Hey, I'm here to answer any questions and help him out along the way. I think he was, he was over it. He was over it. Obviously they drafted Malik Willis and he's like, okay, I'm going to beat this kid out and I'm not going to help him. And then they drafted a quarterback the following year again. And probably Tannehill's like,
Starting point is 00:58:30 well, God damn, they must not really like me. So I might as well get to helping and helping develop these, you know, the quarterback that they have at the helm now, because they trying to find a way to get me up out of here. I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:42 the writing is on the wall. Well, he dragged that quarterback one year. I mean, I liked Tannehill. I don't have a problem with it me up out of here. I mean, the writing is on the wall. You draft one quarterback one year. I mean, I like Tannehill. I don't have a problem with it. He's not in the elite category, but he's an efficient quarterback if you got receivers to throw to him. I mean, he's good.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Think about what you're saying. You had Derrick Henry at his absolute apex, and Derrick Henry is still running the ball, and that's all the fight you can go? So think about what you're throwing again. Think about you had A.J. Brown. Think about you had A.J. Brown. Think about you had A.J. Brown. And he was balling that.
Starting point is 00:59:07 He was balling. Him and A.J. had a nice little white guy. Look at A.J. with Jalen Hurts. And look at A.J. with Tanny Hill. And when you got Derrick Henry, what cover do you think you're throwing against if you got Derrick Henry in your backfield? Single high.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Nine in the box. Exactly. Nine in the box. You got single high. Ain't no disguise. Ain't no nothing. You got single high. They better drop that safety down in the box. Exactly. Nine in the box. You got single high. Ain't no disguise. Ain't no nothing. You got single high. They better drop that safety down in the box.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Yeah, you know, the makeup, you can't really compare. The makeup of the Titans offense and the makeup of the Eagles offense is completely different. Completely different. And I think, you know, over there in Tennessee, you know it was run first. But the Eagles, nigga, they throwing that bitch two million times a game. But that wasn't how it was until they got who?
Starting point is 00:59:48 They got A.J. Yeah. So now you got A.J., you run, because remember they had Devontae. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So now, okay, put nine in the box to try to stop this run and see what we do for it. Because now you got A.J. on one side,
Starting point is 01:00:03 you double A.J., you got Devontae working single coverage. He going to kill you, yeah. And you got Zacharias. And you had Dallas Goddard, he broke his forearm, he's going to miss about a month. But you see, I just don't,
Starting point is 01:00:15 I never understood guys being that selfish that they don't want to help the player because of him. Are you that insecure? Yeah, you got, you a dude, a man, somebody coming in
Starting point is 01:00:26 to take your job, man. You took somebody's job? Somebody is literally coming in. You took somebody's job? How the hell do you think you got on the field? I ain't take nobody's job.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Yeah, you did. There was receivers there. So the Cincinnati Bengals had no receivers before they drafted Ocho Cinco. No, see, this is what you don't even know. Let me tell you,
Starting point is 01:00:41 this is a quick story, funny story. Like, real quick story. I came out of college as a DB. I was a db okay tell the story i want you to tell the story about the wide receiver so the bingos had no wide receivers prior to you coming yeah they had some good ones darnay scott ron dugans uh the the greatest collegiate receiver of all time peter ward they was there and I think Darnay was on the back end so once Darnay left then I
Starting point is 01:01:11 filled in the role at the X okay so you took somebody's job I mean he was done playing I wouldn't say really taking somebody's job you know once receivers hit year 10 you know that's like kind of like the okay we go move on but here's the thing O Ocho. The thing was
Starting point is 01:01:28 if Darnay Scott was still, Darnay Scott could still do it, they wouldn't have moved on. Hey, he was nice, boy. He was nice. Remember Darnay Scott? I do. But for me, Ocho, I just looked at it like, hey, I took somebody's job. Let me get them ready. Because at the end of the day, I just looked at it like, hey, I took somebody's job. Let me get them ready. Because at the end of the day, I wanted to be a great teammate. I wanted guys that's like, man, I really enjoy playing sharp. And I always told the guys, every time I left, I said,
Starting point is 01:01:55 hopefully you enjoyed me as much as I enjoyed you. Right. Everybody different though, huh? They are. Everybody different. The NFL is a business, man. The NFL is a business. And every time somebody come in that locker room, every time
Starting point is 01:02:05 somebody get drafted, they are coming to take your job. You're not there to make no goddamn friends. You got miles to feed. You got a family to feed. You got bills to pay. He can't get it. Everybody don't have your mentality, though. I told, I told, I told, I taught, I did the best
Starting point is 01:02:22 bad job I best I could. I tried to help Todd heat recoverages, have him understand when guys playing this leverage, just what he's trying to do, you don't let him blah, blah, blah, X, Y, Z. But Ozzie knew in order for them to maximize Todd, I had to go. And I was cool with that.
Starting point is 01:02:38 When he called me, he said, hey, boy, what you want to do? I said, you tell me what you think I should do. He said, bro, you went to the Pro Bowl. He said, you led all tight ends and catches. Hell said, you tell me what you think I should do. He said, bro, you went to the Pro Bowl. He said, you led all tight ends and catches. Hell yeah, you can still play. But we did take Todd
Starting point is 01:02:50 in the first round to do what you got to do. With no hard feelings. I said, hey, I said, hey, I said, bro, thank you for the opportunity to show that I just wasn't
Starting point is 01:03:01 a Mike Shanahan, Johnny Owe guy. I said, thank you for the opportunity. Right. I went back to Denver. I was cool with that. That business cutthroat, ain't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:12 Ocho. Ocho. What Baltimore did was made sure that I never had to work another day in my life. I'm going to be mad about that. Yeah. I like that. I got three small kids. Now I can take the money, my signing bonus.

Hey, Sheldon ain't got enough. The moment, hey, Sheldon can kick his heels up if I want to work. And that's what I tell people.
Starting point is 01:03:43 I work because I want to, not because I have to. There's a difference between the two. There's levels to this pitch. Right, right. Talk your shit, huh? Talk your shit now. That's how I was. I was going to never be mad at Ozzy.
Starting point is 01:03:54 They gave me an opportunity. And people looked at me totally different. They're like, oh, okay, he can still play. Went back to Denver, had two great years. CBS gave me an opportunity. But that's just the way I am Ocho if somebody need help hey guys come on hey man I want to do that I get guys all the time man I want to start a podcast this is what you need to do xyz blah blah blah or when they came

Starting point is 01:18:17 just told you. It's like, ooh, girl. You know how fast three minutes is? Just cuddling? 20 minutes at 49%. Ain't nobody cuddling no 49%. Ain't nobody cuddling no 20 minutes. Told you.
Starting point is 01:18:29 See, people say a lot of stuff. You put on Netflix. Netflix, you put on a good movie. Get some food, some pop. Man, you put on a good movie. Ocho, look about this. I want you to see. I need you to stay with me. You going to stay with me?
Starting point is 01:18:44 How long can you stay cuddling up with your spouse or significant other before Ocho, look about this. I want you to see. I need you to stay with me. You going to stay with me? Yes, sir. I'm with you, baby. How long can you stay cuddled up with your spouse or significant other before you need space to go to sleep? You're not watching Netflix. You're going to sleep.
Starting point is 01:18:55 I'm still saying 20 minutes. Because, listen, that heat, it relaxes you. And if it's the right woman, if it's your woman, her being in your arms, it's like you. And if it's the right woman, if it's your woman, her being in your arms is like busy late. Well, hell, if she in my arms, she my woman. She about to blow somebody else's way, she be in my house.
Starting point is 01:19:11 But she my woman when she here. That ain't got shit to do with me. That ain't got nothing to do with me. Where she supposed to be, I'm saying where she actually is. Right. I'm just saying, something about a woman's touch or a man's touch with a woman it allows you to be at ease and sleep much better which is why I'm saying 20 minutes is not
Starting point is 01:19:30 far fetched for cuddling I sleep better when a 6 pound head ain't in my arms I don't know about you but a 6 pound a 6 pound head tends to keep me awake at night you gotta get comfortable man you to get comfortable, man.
Starting point is 01:19:45 You got to get comfortable. There are many positions. You know, I do this. Wait, hold on. Where the dog be at? The dog be in the bed too? Yeah, little one. But here's the thing though, Ocho. You know how somebody's head get
Starting point is 01:20:01 and you got to try to move your arm up out the way so you don't want to wake up. Yeah, I know you're talking about it. I know you're talking about it. Before you get to that point, I'm going to move on over here. I'm going to move on over here. But I need
Starting point is 01:20:20 space. And like I said, Ocho, I generate a crazy amount. I'm telling you, I'll be sweating. And if I'm not careful, I mean, I have to, like, change my sheets in the middle of the night because I sweat so much. God damn. Yeah. Look, Mr. Be Nasty. Well, y'all might be a match made in heaven.
Starting point is 01:20:46 You got to change your sheets. You got to change those sheets, man. I mean, well, we changed our sheets for different reasons, man. Let me start with you. Oh,
Starting point is 01:20:58 let me ask you a question. Obviously you've gone out on some dates. I mean, Hey, before you got real, you probably going out once a month, twice a month. Once a month?
Starting point is 01:21:08 I was going out every night. What? Oh, Lord. With a chick? Yeah. What? Listen, I had a roster, boy. Before Real came along, Real was in line.
Starting point is 01:21:20 She was like number, she was about 32, number 32. 32? Yeah, she worked her way up the line. She worked up the way. So you got some experience with this. What's the worst thing that a woman can do on a date?
Starting point is 01:21:37 Oh, can I be honest with you? I ain't going to sit and play with you. Now you know how I am about my money. You know how I am about my money. And when it comes to dealing with women that want to take advantage of you listen I'm not I'm looking for acid I'm not looking for liability so what I do on the first
Starting point is 01:21:51 date one of the worst things a woman could do is when the bill come I have a problem I always pull out a deck of uno cards I always pull out a deck of uno cards and I watch for the woman's reaction I watch for the woman's reaction to see if there's a problem. Like women,
Starting point is 01:22:06 women, listen, y'all have fought for equality for a very long time. Not only was convenient, but when it comes to paying bills, it shouldn't be a problem. So I love to play Uno on dates. I love to play Uno on dates and bet game best two out of three.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Yeah. Two out of three. Did I say that right? Two out of three. Yeah. Two out of three. And you know, whoever loses pays for dinner. And that's something that I always do on my first dates.
Starting point is 01:22:29 And most of the time it went over well. I'm not sure if it went over well because it was me at the time. Always have a great time. Always have enjoyable time. I'm a conversationalist. I can talk a lot on various topics and that's it. i think that's just i hate someone that always wants i i don't want to say the wrong thing let me let me just stop before i say the wrong thing i mean what what what irks you about something on a date i mean that's you i mean first me not not not willing to pay not willing to pay or not even, it's always, I think it's cool. It's cool for the guy to pay. You know, it's traditional.
Starting point is 01:23:12 But seeing a woman willing to fit the bill for the first time, it says a lot. It says a lot. I guess it's refreshing damn near almost because it's always seen one way. The guy does this, the guy does that. The guy does this, the guy does that. And it's always the guy, the guy, the guy. But to see a woman say, nah, I got it. That's one of the dopest feelings in the world.
Starting point is 01:23:37 I'm old fashioned. I'm going to grab the first one. I'm probably going to grab the first hundred of them if we go out that many times. That's just the way I do things. I'm go out that many times, um, that's just, that's just the way, that's just the way I do things. I'm cool with it. It ain't,
Starting point is 01:23:48 it ain't no big, I mean, I mean, I have, I had women to, to pay. Sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:54 I mean, but I mean, I mean, how much could a, can a burger and fries be, or a chicken sandwich and fries? I mean, I'm very simplistic in my,
Starting point is 01:24:04 in my, in my taste buds. Right. But, nah, you were obviously ordering lobster on the first day.
Starting point is 01:24:10 That ain't, you know. Because, hey, we'll come with lobsters. Yeah. Man, Ocho,

Starting point is 01:32:45 type of inclination? Yeah. Like no, like no, nothing. Um, none of that. And that,
Starting point is 01:32:50 that's bothered me for a while, especially my mama. I do come back and cuss me out or something. I mean, um, my sister is probably more spiritual than I am. And she said that granny has come to her. Uh, she hasn't. I mean, I think about it all the time, but I, I, is probably more spiritual than I am. And she said that granny has come to her.
Starting point is 01:33:06 She hasn't. I mean, I think about it all the time. But honestly, Ocho, in my 44 years, I don't think my grandmother ever told me she loved me. She showed me she loved me. Okay, okay, okay. And I remember the real last conversation I had with my grandmother. And it was, they was doing this special.
Starting point is 01:33:27 It was 2011, Mike Cliss, right? For the local Denver paper. And he was coming down because I was going into the Hall of Fame and then he was going to do a story. And so I was showing him all around and showed him to the, took him to the old house. I took him where, you know, the old schools were.
Starting point is 01:33:40 He met my coach, my high school coach, Coach Hall, the one that was on first take. And so my grandmother was in the nursing home at that time. And after we had been gone for like two hours, I come back and she's crying. So I'm going to the room and he coming up. I stop him. I do it like this. So I go sit on the bed
Starting point is 01:34:05 and she's crying uncontrollably. I remember like yesterday with Joe. And I said, Granny, what's wrong? And I knew something was wrong. She's just crying. I said, Granny, I got it.
Starting point is 01:34:23 I said, Libby, Spanky, Mama, I got them. You can go. Let go, Granny. I got them. Your baby going to hold it down so you don't have to worry no more. You and Papa did your job. Now go rest. Man, Ocho, this was
Starting point is 01:34:47 like, this was like on my birthday. Like, six days later. She tell Libby and Mama, y'all going home. I don't know where y'all staying. I want to go to sleep. This was like, because Libby normally stays till about 5, 36 o'clock,
Starting point is 01:35:08 eat, get a change, get everything, get her situated. Then she would leave. My sister went up there every day to the nurse home. Every day for two years,
Starting point is 01:35:14 every day. She said, why don't y'all go? My mom was up there at the time. She said, why don't y'all go on home? I mean, I can't get no rest
Starting point is 01:35:20 with y'all live here. They leave probably about 4.30. People call it 4.45. Miss Mary gone. She didn't want them to see her. But she couldn't go until her baby told her, I got it, Granny.
Starting point is 01:35:37 Once I told my Granny that I had it, that I got my brother, I got my sister, I got my mom, because that's all she was worried about. Right. She knew I was, she had, Hey,
Starting point is 01:35:49 I'm a baby. She, I was, I was built. She raised three the hard way. She raised her nine and gave my mom three, everything but life. She needed to hear me say it.
Starting point is 01:36:03 Great. I got it. So now I got it. So now, I held everything. My mom, I got it. My brother, bro, whatever you want to do, you ain't got to do nothing.
Starting point is 01:36:17 And people are like, well, what's your brother do? I say, he don't do nothing, but he don't do that before 12 o'clock because I got it. My sister, I got him. That's so, yeah, Ocho, I just, but see, people like you, you have to understand, like, the relationship, because I slept in the bed with my grandmother since I was 15. Even when my grandfather died, I didn't go sleep, I didn't sleep in the bed with my brother i slept with my granny right and i told her i said i'm gonna sleep with you and had my brother like i said i'm gonna sleep with you i'm gonna sleep in the bed with you granny till i get grown i said
Starting point is 01:36:54 i might get me a wife and we sleep in the bed with you together so but you're gonna get your rusty tail out of this bed right but the relationship and what she like what she instilled in me the values that's how that's why i think the way i think right like my sister my brother my mom i got everything my kids and i heard some i said uh i was talking to somebody i think you the other night and uh like my kids like like my daughter's going to get married. And I said, you know, my daughter's going to get married. She's probably going to head start on a house. My youngest daughter, she's going to probably want money to pay off those student loans.
Starting point is 01:37:35 And they said, well, why she got student loans? Because she's not going to drag her feet on my dime. Make her think she got to pay for them. And she'll get her ass up out of school I like that ain't no free ride now hey I'm gonna give you every opportunity I'm gonna give you every
Starting point is 01:37:52 tool that you need to succeed but I need to see you trying to get it because I'm not gonna hand it to you the handouts stopped when you were 18. That's when the handouts stopped. I want to see you work. I tell you if they need something,

Cause you know, I'm going to give my kids just enough so they can't do nothing. I like that. I like that. I mean, well, obviously, I would say I'm exactly the same with mine.
