Christmas,
birthdays, and New Year's is right around
the corner. Let's get into the action because
we want to touch on a lot of games tonight, Ocho.
The Ravens beat the Chargers 20-10.
Lamar was 18-32, 177, one touchdown.
But it was the defense that came up big tonight.
The Baltimore Ravens defense forced three first-half turnovers,
and the Ravens offense only managed a field goal on those takeaways in the first half.
Then Jadavion Clowney got a strip sack in the
fourth quarter and then
the offense went three and out.
Zay Flowers said, you know what?
I'm going to put an end to this. I'm going to
the house. 2010
final score. What did you
take away from what you saw from the Ravens
tonight? Obviously, the Ravens
played good football. Good balanced football at that Ravens tonight? Obviously, the Ravens played good football.
Good, balanced football at that.
The defense did
what they needed to do, and the offense was
just, they did just enough to win the
game. Obviously, the Chargers have
continued to lose very close games.
They were in the game
towards the end of the game, and the
Ravens took advantage of the opportunity
towards the end of the game. As far ass took advantage of the opportunity towards the end of the game.
As far as Zay Flowers, the real deal, man.
The real deal.
He's going to be a superstar in this league.
I don't mean to switch teams, but so is Tank Dale.
Those two, as rookies, the way they're playing is if they already arrived,
they're playing some good football.
Lamar Jackson, he didn't have the numbers that we're used to seeing from him offensively as
a quarterback, but he was efficient.
Did he have a turnover? No,
he didn't have a turnover tonight.
He had a clean game, but the defense
won that game for the night, but when they
needed it, they did.
Yeah, the big lineman did
get it back.
I think the thing is,
Ocho, the way
he started the game, I thought he was going to like,
oh, man, he was like eight of his
first ten passes he hit. I'm like, okay,
it's going to be one of those type of games because
he is completing around a little over
70% of his passes. So I thought it was
going to be one of those games. But you see
as the game started to progress,
the Chargers says, we're not going to let him sit back.
We're going to start beating him up. We're going to bring some pressure.
Put a little pressure on him. Yeah. Yeah.
They started, Khalil Mack started collapsing the pockets.
They started bringing that extra guy to try
to speed him up. But I think the thing is
what really saved these guys tonight
because the offense, like you said, didn't have it going.
They didn't turn the ball over. And if
you don't have it going offensively, the last thing you
can do is turn the football over. So they did
a great job of not turning it over while their defense forced turnovers
and kept and held the Chargers high-powered offense to only 10 points.
You know, for whatever—look, when you look at Justin Herbert,
you see a physically gifted quarterback.
A guy that's about 6'5", 245 pounds.
Superior arm talent. Superior arm talent.
Superior arm talent.
Can make every throw on the field.
You see him take off on the run.
He got better legs than what you would give him credit for.
But all I know is he's 30 and 31 and 61 starts.
That's what he is.
I mean, look, we can keep saying, oh, he's this, he's that.
At the end of the day, there's a short menu in pro sports.
It's wins and losses.
And all I know for all that superior talent that he has, arm talent, physical tools, losses are here, wins are there.
That's all I know. Yeah, and the thing about it, obviously, too, with him being a superior quarterback, as he's viewed tall, 6'6", all the attributes and being a great quarterback.
He also has a supporting cast around him
to be successful.
Something about the Chargers, always losing
close games. Always losing
close games. This is what's
going to make or break them as far as being a
playoff contender and going home
in January.
Those close games, the
playoff teams win those.
And most of them are by three.
Every time they have a close game,
they always lose by three or less.
Yeah, you don't have to win them all, Ocho,
but you need to win more than what you lose.
And they seem to be on the short end
of those close ball games.
And so that's telling for me,
is that I don't see how
and I don't advocate for anyone losing his job.
But I think Brandon Staley staying in L.A.
is definitely going to come to an end at the end of the season.
Because if you go back, they lost a lot of games.
As you said, 3 points, 7 points.
Then you finally make the playoff.
You get a 27-0 lead at half, and you give it all back.
And you seemingly haven't recovered from that
because you're still losing close ball games.
And your defense tonight notwithstanding,
I thought your offense put you in harm's way
by turning the ball over like they did,
is that that defense has been,
and that's Brandon Staley's foretake,
that defense has been, and that's Brandon Staley's foretake, that defense has been less than desirable.
And considering the talent that they have
on that side of the ball, Ocho,
they should be a lot better statistically
than what they are.
Right.
Do you think they should give Brandon Staley
a little bit more leash,
or do you think it's really his time is up
based on the personnel
and what he has to use defensively?
Obviously, Khalil Mack, Derwin James. Joey B use defensively obviously Khalil Mack Derwin James yeah yeah do you think it's his time you want to start fresh
yeah consider considering now look at look at what you got look at this quarterback
look they got Keenan Allen they got every they got guys and I understand the big Mike Williams
the uh the other receiver he goes down early uh the season. But there's no reason, Ocho.
You mean to tell me with that offense, you give me 10
points? That's what you gave
me. Yeah, you're right.
Mind you, they're playing
against arguably the best defense in the league tonight
now. Okay, I'll concede
that to you. But with that offense, why
do you continuously lose these close ball games?
And a lot of times, you have the ball in
your hand at the end in order to
either tie the game or to win the game.
And you still come up short.
Right.
Okay.
You're right.
You're right.
It's hard to argue the fact.
Very hard to argue the fact.
And you look at their defense with the names that I mentioned.
Khalil Mack's been a defensive player of the year.
Joey Bosa was a rookie of the year.
And guys have been a multi,
multi-time all pro,
multi-time pro bowl
players you can't have that when you have that level of talent scattered throughout the entire
team that's just that that won't cut it and so I just don't see how he how he holds on Justin
Herbert was 29 of 44 217 one touchdown one interception uh jose cardoza donated 20 and asked oh do you think
a better coach can help uh herbert overcome those last minute drives they're all out they all have
yeah they go with a guy like that i gotta make you make a quick decision yeah i can't let you
sit back there and think about what you and you know okay scan left to right okay right no i can't
let you do that oh joe i gotta got to make you make a decision quick.
He'll pick your part.
And more times than not, Ocho,
if I can speed a guy up, I'm
going to make him make a mistake.
And that's what I'm trying to do.
But it
takes courage to do that now.
It takes courage
to blitz a guy
that he has legs.
He can jump out the window and take off and get a first down.
And if everybody's back to turn to him, he can run a long ways.
He can make every throw.
Even if you're hanging on him, Ojo, he can throw a 10, 15, 20 yard out. He can still get the ball out under heavy duress.
But I just, something's not clicking yeah something something
is going on with this team that says maybe uh a new leadership is what they need yeah i i hate i
hate the fact that normally when you have a well-constructed team like this like they do have
i hate when things don't work out and obviously and change is needed
obviously not from the front office but from from the coaching perspective and most of the time i
say this all the time players get coaches fired but that's not the type of roster that gets the
coach fired why they're not clicking and why they're not playing well why they're not winning
those close games i will never understand i will never understand. I will never understand.
And it's been like that for, what, two years now?
Three.
Yo, three.
Because you remember when he first got there, you know,
he was going for it every fourth down, fourth and two.
He's going for it.
Oh, yeah, look at that.
Oh, he has courage.
Okay, that'll bite you in the butt now.
You got to play.
At the end of the day, you still got to play smart football.
You continuously going for it on your own 20, 30, 20 and 30 yard line.
And it's fourth and one.
That's not smart football, especially so early in the game.
And you fake putting it there at the time and a place for everything.
But eventually your looks going to run out.
And like I said, I just when I look at this team and I look at the talent that they have,
from a Keenan Allen and an Austin Eckler and a Justin Herbert and an Everett
and all those guys at the skill position, Ocho, there ain't no way,
ain't no way they're supposed to be playing like this.
You're right. You're right. You're right.
The funny thing about it is when you have a team constructed like this
on both sides of the ball i i would almost say
damn near equivalent to somewhat of the 49ers i'm not saying that a 49ers i'm just saying as far as the personnel and comparison on teams they should be playing that type of football
or getting the same type of results that the 49ers do yeah with their squad yeah i totally agree with
you what probably the game of the day, the Eagles
beat the Bills in overtime 37-34.
And remember, we talked
about this a couple of weeks ago.
That was a phenomenal game.
Jalen Hurts,
Ocho, he started 4-11
for 33 yards and
an interception in the first half.
Yeah, horrible.
And he rallied. He ends up throwing for 200 yards, three touchdowns in the second half. Yeah, horrible. And he rallied. He ends up throwing for 200 yards,
three touchdowns in the second half.
He added another 65 yards rushing
and two touchdowns.
Now he has 11 multi-touch
rush touchdown games in his career,
breaking a tie with Cam Newton
for the most by a quarterback
in the Super Bowl era.
Last week,
Josh Allen was caught by NFL Films declaring,
I feel like I'm effing back.
His statement also came against the Giants, I mean the Jets.
Josh Allen now is 0-6 in overtime.
He was 29-51, 3-39, two touchdowns and an interception.
He also had two scores on the ground and a team-high 81 rushing yards.
What was some of you what
was some of your takeaways from this ball game i mean obviously the eagles didn't play well in the
first half jalen hirst didn't play well in the first half um the bills i thought the bills were
going to come away with this one obviously josh allen being oh and sit well oh and five before
the game and ended and obviously looking like they were going to win the game i was not not
hoping i'm not going to say i was hoping but josh has been playing extremely bad obviously they play
the jets i'm really not counting that win because the jets are a bad team so i'm not going to count
that win so i was hoping this would have been good motivation this was would have been a good um
what's the word good confidence builder you know for. A good one, especially beating
the Eagles team.
Obviously, that is 9-1
or maybe 8-1 at the time.
I got my numbers confused,
but either way,
it would be great for them
to finish this game
off the right way.
I thought they had it
in the bag.
I honestly did.
I thought they had it
in the bag.
Obviously, the Eagles,
they're going to the playoffs.
They're going to the playoffs.
They're going to make
a long run.
The Bills,
I don't know what's going to happen. Obviously, they were 6-5 coming into the game. They haven't to the playoffs. They're going to make a long run. The Bills, I don't know what's going to happen.
Obviously, they were 6-5 coming into the game.
They haven't been playing well.
They've been very up and down all season long.
Diggs hasn't been happy.
Josh hasn't been happy.
Gabe Davis, not one goddamn target last week against the Jets.
Not one target.
You know, he had a...
He missed it.
He had an okay game.
Josh missed him today in OT.
He had the fourth touchdown.
He came with the bomb.
He did. They came to blow it up, and he had him, and he missed him.
Yeah.
Do we blame Mother Nature a little bit?
Do we blame nothing?
No.
Ocho, did you see the guy kick the 59-yard field goal in that driving rainstorm?
Yeah.
Hey.
Oh, yeah.
And that would have been good.
The ball looked like it had been good.
It looked like it had been good from 65 to 70.
60, yeah.
Because it hit the back of the net.
Mm-hmm. That was a good kick. Good okay good a good clutch kick at that yes but now i don't know how they look
we were taught like when somebody comes on the bomb blitz and we're outside we stay outside
right if you're inside and they come with the blonde blitz you try to cross the guy's face
face yeah okay but in a situation like ocho you can't miss that throw, Ocho.
You can't.
You can't. Right.
Because remember,
everybody was up in arms.
Oh, if the Bills had got the ball
in overtime against the Chiefs,
they'd have won the game.
They'd have won the game.
Well, they had the opportunity
to do that just now.
Ta-da!
Yeah, they had the opportunity.
They had the opportunity.
And I don't like to make excuses,
but some, man,
playing in that rain, it handicaps you a little bit.
It handicaps you catching the ball.
It handicaps you throwing the ball and just being efficient as you would if it was dry.
I'm not making no excuses.
I'm just saying.
I'm just taking into account the fact that it was.
Devontae Smith didn't have a hard time catching it.
Zaccheaus caught one at the back of the end zone.
He didn't have a hard time catching it.
That was a nice catch, too, in the back of the end zone.
Yeah, that was nice.
But the thing is, Ocho, the Bills seem to be in control of this game.
And then Josh get fooled by a trap corner.
Bradbury rolled up on him.
Come on, bro.
You got to see that.
You think he could see that though?
Yeah, that's a trap.
It was so quick.
It was so quick.
Ocho.
I thought, listen, even I had to wait to see the replay,
I thought he was gambling.
And then I noticed instead of he was supposed to be, you know,
dropping back in the zone.
He said, man, F that.
Man, he jumped that so quick.
Because you know why?
Before the formation tell you in a situation like that,
what they're going to try to do?
Try to get a cheap five.
Yeah.
Because guess what that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a
a wide receiver on a linebacker so what they're going to do push up run your little stick right
yep yep and then they knew it it's like it's damn near like they baited them into that
and played trap at the right time they did and and some in a situation like that, you're getting desperate.
You got to make it because the last thing you can do is fall.
It felt it could go down by another score.
That's the last, especially a touchdown.
Yeah, I feel a field goal doesn't doom you.
But man, to go down a touchdown, another score there, a touchdown there.
That'd have been too much.
Yeah, that might have lasting effect.
But I said this solo two weeks ago ago i said jalen hurts i've
never seen i don't know if i've seen somebody quite like him he can have the most mundane the
most mediocre game and they're just flailing around on both sides of the ball right but come
fourth quarter if that game is close he'll find a way to pull it out. Every time. Every time. He's done it. He's done it consistently every time.
We just saw it Monday night against the Chiefs.
Just flailing around.
Ain't nothing going their way.
Then all of a sudden, the fourth quarter, the game's closed.
And then he makes a play.
He believes.
I mean, he is just like so calm.
He's the perfect person to play in Philly because he understands how fickle the Philly fans are.
They're going to love you.
They're going to boo you.
He just rides the wave.
He don't get too high.
He don't get too low.
I mean, you know, hey, all the celebrities like, look, I'm supposed to do this.
I keep the main thing the main thing.
I don't get high when it's good.
I don't get low when it's bad.
I just stay even keel and good things happen.
That was a phenomenal game. That was a good look.
And then, you know,
I think they still...
Don't they play the Eagles? No, Buffalo.
I think, who got... No, no, the Eagles
got San Francisco next week, right?
Because the 49ers still
got Buffalo, the Eagles, and the Cowboys.
Wait, that's primetime, huh?
No, no, no, no, no.
Eagles have...
Okay, the Eagles have the Niners, Cowboys, Seahawks.
And the Bills still got...
Don't the Bills have the Niners also?
The Bills...
Okay, okay. the bill okay okay
the bills have
cheese
cowboys
dolphins
oh
oh wait
that's
that's the
the next three
yeah
basically
Philly
Philly
Philly
Philly got
Philly got
Niners
Cowboys
Seahawks
bills got
Chiefs Cowboys Dolphahawks. Bill's got Chiefs, Cowboys, Dolphins.
Boy, it can get ugly.
Not for the Eagles.
Listen, the Eagles, what?
Eagles 10-1 now, right?
Yeah.
Boy, they sitting pretty.
They sitting pretty.
Look, if they win these two games against,
I mean, they're the number one seed.
No, but you can't catch them.
Yeah.
Because they will have beaten the Cowboys twice mean, they're the number one seed. No, but you can't catch them. Yeah. Because they will,
they will,
they will have beaten the Cowboys twice.
So they have a two or two.
That's like a three old lead right there in the division.
And if they,
and if they beat the 49ers,
the 49ers will have four losses.
And it's a,
and it's a conference opponent.
Right.
So it'll be a bet.
Basically it's a death blow for the number one seed.
Anybody trying to catch the number one seed.
That means the Eagle will lock that up.
I mean,
and then I'm looking at the bill schedule,
the not the,
well,
the next three games,
I think if they don't improve a show,
some sign of something,
if they lose to the dolphins,
that's going to be tough.
Cause I don't think they lose to the dolphins.
That's probably going to end the division. Well, I think they're going to lose it. I'm thinking they're going to lose it.ins, that's going to be tough. Because I don't think the Dolphins are going to lose to them again. That's probably going to end the division.
But I think they're going to lose to the...
I think they're going to lose to the...
They're not going to beat them again.
Because the Dolphins are 8-3, right?
If I'm not mistaken,
the Dolphins are 8-3.
Then you say they got...
Who else you say they got?
Who else you say they got?
Who you...
It's about the Bills.
It's about the Bills.
The Bills got the Chiefs.
The Chiefs. The Chiefs.
The Cowboys and the Dolphins.
It could get ugly.
It could get, they might lose two of the next three.
And I think heads gonna roll if that happened.
Yeah.
Something, something got to give over there.
Well, Sean McDermott wanted to call the plays.
Leslie Frazier left.
They had a very good, I had an outstanding defense.
Leslie Frazier was doing a great job.
And, you know, Sean McDermott wanted to
take over the play calling. Okay, there
it is.
Different ball game, huh? There it is.
Take it over, you got it.
Defensively, it didn't hurt when Milano went down either.
Milano, Tredavious White.
White, yeah, White.
Bond hasn't gotten back into shape. Bond's a little
older now. He's't gotten back into shape. Bond's a little older now.
He's coming off an ACL injury.
It's rough.
It's tough to be able to get back to what you once were as you start to age.
Those injuries start to take it at you once you get to a certain point, Ocho.
Yeah.
C.J. Stroud.
Let me see.
Excuse me. Did you see this? CJ Stroud rubbed Texas fans the wrong way when he was on Auxiliary Money Podcast and asked to choose between L.A. women and Houston women.
And he said L.A. girls over Houston girls.
And it's not even close.
Saying Houston girls are fake bougie.
He also complained about the food scene, saying the food has been gassed up here.
How do you
think he should have handled
that? You got to be
careful what you say. You're the franchise quarterback,
baby. You're going to be in Houston the next, what,
10, 11, 12, 13,
15 years. You got to
be careful what you say. You got to hype your people up.
Yeah, you got to be careful, but obviously he's from L.A yeah you you you got to be careful but obviously he's he's from la he's from la he's he's just getting to houston
he's just getting his feet wet uh and understanding the culture in houston obviously the food is
something that people visit and love turkey leg hut to to be exact uh the women in houston i don't
frequent houston you know very much but i've i've heard good things about the women. I've heard great things about them. I've really haven't free when I haven't
dated anyone from Houston, but, um, you gotta be careful. You gotta be careful when, when,
when you get asked questions like that, you gotta plead the fifth. And if you gotta lie,
just lie and say something positive. Do you know what? Hey, I like both places.
There are beautiful women in LA. There are beautiful women in LA there are beautiful women in Houston
it just all
hey what's your flavor
what you like
because both places got them
the cuisine
look LA
look LA got restaurants
but Houston
if you like soul food
it's hard for me to believe
that there ain't no good soul food places in Houston
there are no good barbecue joints in Houston
it's hard for me
now maybe that's not his flavor
maybe that's not his cuisine
maybe he's more of a sushi.
I'm sure they have sushi places,
but Cali, I mean, look,
you're on the water.
So, you know,
you're going to get the precious
sushi or whatever you want,
vegan restaurants
or whatever that,
you know, hey,
whatever it is.
But I just think the thing
is he's young.
He has to understand
that he got to be a politician.
When you're the quarterback,
you have to be more politician
as opposed to being
sometimes, hey, you can't always
be honest. You can't always give your
true feelings on certain things
given the position that he's in.
Right. Yeah, he'll understand it.
He'll understand it. It's all about
being media savvy.
He'll learn as he go. Yeah, yeah.
That's what you like to do. But the way he playing right now, he can get away with it.
Yeah.
He can get away with it.
Yeah.
So I just think the thing is that that's something that, you know, is his his handlers are good around him and handle him.
Say if something like this comes up again, say there are beautiful women all over the world.
Hey, I live in a I was born and raised in L.A., obviously.
Hey, I'm playing in Houston now.
I have a girlfriend or I have someone in my life.
So I don't look, but I'm sure there's beautiful women all over the place.
And so, you know, you play it like that and you move on.
Good to go.
But you start getting on these shows like this that sometimes they walk you into a trap that you didn't really know that you were walking into it'd be harmless too yeah no ill intent
cj scribe became the first rookie in league history to record 300 passing yard games in
four straight games so he's thrown for at least 300 yards in four straight games led to texas
on 11 play 45 yard uh drive late in the fourth quarter to set up a game-time field goal.
And Matt Amendola missed it.
He missed it, yeah.
But Amendola kicked.
I mean, that's hard to say he missed it.
I mean, 58 yards.
I mean, it wasn't like it was 28 yards.
It was 58 yards, and he hit the crossbar, the middle of the crossbar.
Crossbar, yeah, and bounced the wrong way.
And 58 crossbar, fell fell short clinching the jags
seventh win in eight games so that would have really put some pressure if they could have got
the game in the overtime and actually won the game oh joe that would have really put some pressure
on the jags because they would have taken two games off the jags yeah yeah so uh but i but i
like what i like what i saw uh from from the texans uh i like tank dale
i love nico collins noah brown although he didn't have a big game today they have the skill positions
around him to be successful yeah give but give uh the jags credit they came in there with a sense of
urgency that they knew they could ill afford to lose this game yeah and let them have a sweep
over them in the division yeah yeah i i enjoyed it i enjoyed it as well obviously tank dale man
is man dude unbelievable obviously i remember watching him and i remember watching him in the
senior bowl and seeing the difference in him and everybody else and his ability to create separation and run routes.
And I had wondered to myself, you know what?
It looked good against him, but I wonder how it would transition into the NFL and on Sundays.
And by God almighty, it has transitioned extremely well.
And he's become, obviously, he's become his security blanket.
Most of the time as a rookie quarterback, your security blanket is most of the time it's your tight end most of the time it's the time and the fact that him and
tank dale have the chemistry and they're excelling this early already it's gonna it's gonna be nice
it's gonna be very very nice he has a nice he has a nice little little repertoire receivers around
him and the fact of in the fact of the matter he's getting it done without true superstar number one guys.
No superstars, dudes that are just hard.
I call them hard hat.
Hard hat, go out there and get the job done type receivers.
I think in situations like this,
when you're dealing with a young quarterback,
I think these kind of guys work best with him
because he don't have to force the ball to him.
You know when you got a true number one,
when you got one of them old school number ones,
he gonna get in that rookie's ear.
Man, give me that.
Hey, bro, give me that rock.
And you know, he's going to defer.
I see what you mean.
You're right.
But now he got a Nico Collins.
Now he has a Tank Dale.
He has guys that like, okay,
I give it to you.
I get it to you.
Hey, he's open.
I gave it to him.
Not a situation where, hey, bro, what's up, man?
Hey, you know, I I gave it to him. Not a situation where, hey, bro, what's up, man?
You know I'm a top dog here.
So I think sometimes, Ocho,
in situations like what he is with CJ Stroud,
I think having these young guys,
I think that works best for him.
The Steelers go to Cincinnati,
beat your bingo 16-10.
It looks like Canada
might have been the issue.
The 16 points are nothing
to write home about.
But this was the Steelers' first game in which they've had 400-plus offensive yards in 58 games.
In 44 of those games, Matt Canada was the OC.
Kenny Pickett, 24-33, 278 yards.
His completion percentage, 72.7%, was well above his previous high of 68 but but i know you saw this deontay johnson
yeah and bro you drop a touchdown and then you walk off the ball and the ball is fumbled and
you don't do nothing listen well you know you you play you play tight end and i can i can attest
to what deontay did on the third and short what most of
the time which many of us as receivers do is we walk off the ball like that and you know normally
we engage with the person with their DB in front of us to make sure to see if we got the first or
not he didn't engage with anybody and he didn't look he didn't look down to see he didn't do
nothing yeah I mean yeah so I can't even take up for him.
Just the walking off the ball part,
we all do that.
We all do that part, especially on third and short.
But not frontside.
Yeah, he was frontside.
That's how the ball popped out.
He was frontside. Remember, he didn't
chase.
Hold on,
wait a minute. I know it's frontside, but I'm
just saying it was third and short. Yes,
but I'm saying... Yeah, third and short, normally
it's a dive or something in the A-gap
and you normally engage with your dude
and just see if you get the first or not.
No, hell no. He wasn't even
paying attention, though. He wasn't even paying
attention. I don't know, I guess y'all
wasn't no running team. Man, look here,
Mike Shanahan.
Man, if Ed and Rod would have walked off the ball.
Yeah.
First of all, Alex Gibbs with our O-line coach.
Man, Alex would have ran out. Because you know back then, they didn't have
those cordless, Mike. You know, you had the cords
back when you were out playing.
Man, Alex would have ran out there
and wrapped that cord around Ed and Rod's neck.
Man, hell no. Walking off the ball?
Yeah, you got to be locked in.
You got to be locked in right there.
Especially if you're going to walk off,
at least be engaged with the DB
and knowing to see if your running back got the first down.
If that ball pop out, you want to be right there
to be able to jump on that thing.
It's a horrible ocho, and it's a bad look
because you complaining about the ball,
you dropped the touchdown on the drive before.
Right, right.
And then you walk off the,
okay, walking off the ball
is bad enough,
but the ball pop out
and you don't even chase, Ocho.
Yeah, he ain't see it though.
You got to look at,
if you look at his body language,
look at his eyes,
he ain't even look down.
He ain't even look down
to see if he had turned
walking back to the damn huddle
already because he thought
the running back was down.
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
That's unfortunate.
He was a little disengaged right there.
He was a little disengaged.
You can't, Ocho,
because if you think about it,
offensively, you're struggling.
Yeah.
You're struggling.
And you want to,
you want to show that,
okay, the new coordinator,
hey, we need to get the ball to Deontay.
Yeah.
He busted his butt. You see, he busted his butt. I mean, okay, the new coordinator, hey, we need to get the ball to Deontay. Yeah. He busted his butt.
You see,
he busted his butt.
I mean,
how don't,
how don't,
I mean,
I already know
Mike Conley
had a conversation with him.
You already know Mike.
Yeah,
of course,
you know,
Mike,
Mike don't play that now.
You know,
Mike,

Mike,
Mike,
Mike,
Mike, Mike, Mike Matt Cannon the problem, you think?
Excuse me.
Or did they just happen to have a good game against a Bengals team
that doesn't have Joe Burrow?
Well, Joe Burrow wasn't playing defense.
He doesn't play defense.
But we'll find out.
It's one game.
Maybe this was an anomaly.
Let's see moving forward.
Can they generate other 400-yard games?
Can they generate other wins?
Now, they've won with Matt Canada.
But, I mean, they were outgained in all of the games in which they won.
And you know you're not going to go very far if you work to make the playoffs.
Giving up teams outg gaining you by 100 yards,
gaining you by 200 yards.
But give them credit.
They went on the road against a division opponent,
and they found a way to win a ball game.
But you have to give them credit for that.
The Chiefs offense seems to have gotten back on track,
steamrolling the Raiders.
Kansas City got up to a wobbly start,
generating 13 yards on their first two drives,
starting at a 14-0 hole.
Then Mahone boys stepped on the gas.
The next three drives by Kansas City,
71 yards, touchdown.
79 yards, touchdown.
75 yards, touchdown.
Mahone's finished today 27-34,
298, two touchdowns,
zero turnovers.
No turnovers.
And I think that's why
they overcome that deficit
that's why they
overcome that deficit
that 14
you know
we gonna give y'all
14 points
we gonna be your 14
and Mahomes
gonna show you
how good he really is
and we
I mean media outlets
you know
the pundits
they always talk about
well he doesn't have
a true number one
if Travis Kelsey's
not playing well
he has nobody to throw to or shoot isaiah step rashid is it right yeah rashid rice
stepped up but checko man listen somebody must piss them off or something i ain't never seen
nobody run the ball that angry since marion barber. Remember Marion Barber? I do. It's like they have the exact same running style
like somebody pissed them off.
Why are you running angry?
Every step is like it's intent and will to hurt,
but ain't nobody in front of you, man.
The Chiefs, not even the Chiefs, Mahomes.
Man, Mahomes is special, man.
Mahomes is special, man. Mahomes is special, man.
You see that passing through to Kelsey?
On that sell route?
No.
The placement.
The placement.
Unbelievable.
The arm angles, man.
The movement in the pocket.
The poise.
Everything about him is immaculate.
And down 14, most of the time, you start pressing.
You start pressing.
You make mistakes.
No mistakes were made.
No mistakes were made.
And they came back.
They win the game.
But again, they were playing the Raiders.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They were playing the Raiders.
Can you play a good team like the Cowboys or the Eagles?
No, no, no, no, no.
And be down by 14
and still think you're just going to overcome it.
It's a different ball game.
No.
And I think the thing is that also
is that you saw he got Kelsey involved.
Kelsey opens it up.
So now you can scheme the other guys.
You can run Rasheed Rice on a shallow cross
and he hit his head on the goal post.
You can do other things,
but you got to get 8-7 involved.
You got to get him
involved because he makes it
easier. So now everybody's eyes
goes towards him, and now
these other guys all of a sudden are
splintering, and you get them on shallow crosses,
you get them on smoke screens and things of
that nature. But Kansas City seemed to
be on the right track. Like you said, I'm not putting a whole
lot of stock in this because that was
the Raiders. But like you tell me, that's the NFL team. Like you said, I'm not putting a whole lot of stock in this because that was the Raiders. But
like you tell me, that's the NFL team.
That's the top 1%.
You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right by that.
You're right by that. But again, we talk about two
times Super Bowl champ
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs
with Andy Reid calling them goddamn
plays. They gonna be alright.
Oh, Big Red. Big Red. Big Red.
The thing is, but you can't turn the ball over. Because if you Big Red. The thing is, but you can't turn the ball over.
Because if you get off to slow starts like that, Ocho,
you can't turn the ball over. Because now
all of a sudden, you're already down
14, and now you let people
steal your possessions.
So, I think
that was one of the things that I saw that they did
a great job of protecting the football.
Matt Jones had another rough day, Ocho, throwing
two more interceptions in a 10-7 loss to Giants before being benched for Bailey Zappi at the football. Matt Jones had another rough day, Ocho, throwing two more interceptions in a 10-7
loss to the Giants before being benched
for Bailey Zappi at the half. Now, Zappi,
it wasn't like Bailey Zappi to play great
either. He didn't.
But you know what, Ocho?
It's time for the Patriots
and Matt Jones to part ways.
I mean, how many... Go ahead.
What they doing, Unc? Like, come on, what we doing?
Come on, Bill. What we doing? huh? Like, come on, what we doing? Come on, Bill.
What we doing?
Bill O'Brien, what are we doing?
Listen, this is a great analogy.
This is all that makes sense to me.
If you don't like something,
just bench him and be done with it.
They have benched Mac Jones four times this year.
Yes. Do you understand what that has done to his psyche?
Do you understand what that has done to his confidence?
He has none at this point.
That's like, fellas
or ladies in the chat,
that's like going back to your ex.
Yeah.
Four different times
and expecting the results
to be different
as opposed
to how they were before.
Yeah, you bring up me four times,
it's over.
It makes no sense.
Yeah.
It makes no sense.
You know you don't like him.
You have a problem.
You have issues with the turnovers.
Every time, you've been to them every single time. Like, what are we doing? And not know you don't like him. You have a problem. You have issues with the turnovers. Every time,
you've been to them every single time.
Like, what are we doing?
Yeah.
Just stick with Mr. Zappy.
Hold your hope.
Not only do you break up with him,
I see you dating other guys
in the meantime
because they brought
Bayley Zappy in both times.
All four times.
So, you break up with me.
I see you.
That don't work out
with you and him.
Now you come back to me.
And guess what? I'm
foolish enough to take you back.
Every time.
Listen, that has to...
Just thinking about it to me,
I'm not even playing the game. And then
I understand what comes with the quarterback position.
You're already frustrated. You're
not winning. Then they bench you.
Then Monday comes, you got practice
on Wednesday. They say, okay, now you're the starter
again. Yeah. I mean, come
on, man. They got
to find a quarterback. I don't
know who it's going to be, but they need to find somebody
to pick up what Tom left off. And even
though those are big shoes to fill,
I know what you're going to say.
They're big shoes to fill, but
they got to find it. They got to find it
because things aren't going to be right
until they find a quarterback.
Yeah, but Ocho, it's a rarity that you lose Joe Montana
and there's Steve Young.
You lose a Brett Favre and there's an Aaron Rodgers.
Normally, when you lose a historically great quarterback,
each year, look how long the Steelers went
when they lost Terry Bradshaw.
Right.
Oh, okay. It was almost 20 years before
they get Big Ben.
And, you know,
and Buffalo, think about
Buffalo had gone 20 plus years
before they get Josh Allen.
Yeah, from Jim Kelly to Josh Allen.
So you don't normally,
so as great as Tom is,
unless you have somebody, and it's not like it is, you can't have a Steve Young on your roster now.
Right.
You can't.
Because, first of all, he's going to want to play.
Yeah.
And he's not going to be content with not playing.
Right.
And plus, when Steve was there, there was no free agency.
So where was he going to go
oh he had no choice
but to be there
he had no choice
but to be there
okay
now there's free agency
plus I need to look at the guy
because I need to know
before I invest 300 million
because you know
we're right around the corner
for a 300 million dollar contract
because we you know
we 250 right now
260
right
the next contract
within a year or two
is going to be 300 million wait that's the the funny thing about it since. Right. The next contract within a year or two is going to be 300 million.
Wait, that's the funny thing about it.
Since you talk about the next contract, obviously, it would be a quarterback.
Yeah.
Everybody's been paid already.
So who would be up next?
Tua's up.
Okay.
But that's a good one.
Tua's playing extremely well.
But would Tua overlap Joe and Lamar and Patrick Mahomes?
Hey, I'm after.
I'm after.
That's what y'all do.
Y'all told
the reason why
this guy got more
than that guy
because he signed
a year after.
So I need
my money.
I'm about to have
a 2,000 yard receiver.
I'm about to throw
for 4,800
almost 5,000 yards.
I'm going to be
way high on the
touchdown list.
Yeah, I'm going to get that.
I'm going to ask you
one more question. So when Dak is up so'm going to get that I'm going to ask you one more question
so when Dak is up
so does Dak also get that $300,000
yeah
it continues to overlap
because that's what they do
everybody keeps trying to up it
because I want to keep climbing
I got to keep pushing these salaries high
but normally it's supposed to be just the top
the top top top, top guys
being able to reset the market like that.
Yeah, it used to be like that, Ocho.
It used to be.
But now, hey, I just happen to be...
See...
Timing, timing.
Yeah.
It's not whether or not you're good.
It's whether or not you're free.
It's whether you're free.
Right, right, right.
And so I got to make a
decision, Ocho, so that's why guys
and teams, they ain't got no patience.
I can't have patience.
You mean to tell me I'm supposed to let a guy
and just go, okay, I'm going to have patience
and I'm going to give him $300 million after his third
year. But I'm not certain,
but I'm just going to have patience. No, you can't do
that, Ocho. Right, right, right. You can't.
You got to open up your pocket.
The money is too great now. So teams are not going to have patience. No, you can't do that, Ocho. Right, right, right. You can't. You got to open up your pocketbook. The money is too great now.
So teams are not going to have the patience like they did
because I got to know.
By the third year, I got to know whether or not the kid can play, Ocho.
Yeah.
Because I'm going to have the best 300 million in him.
Yeah.
That's why they always say your third year is your break and make year,
regardless of what position you're playing.
Especially if you want to, like, by your third year,
if you're a first round pick,
you should have been
a major pro bowl by now.
By your third year,
you should be a pro bowl,
you should be
a borderline all pro player.
Mm-hmm.
Because guess what?
Now,
in today's market,
with the contracts,
by that third year,
everybody wants that new deal,
Ocho.
Yeah, yeah.
And if you're playing
really well,
they will tear it up in a heartbeat. Ain't got no problem getting you that. deal, Ocho. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you're playing really well, they will tear it up in a heartbeat.
Ain't got no problem getting you that paper.
No problems at all.
But it's going to be hard for me to give you paper
when you ain't got no All Pros,
you ain't got no Pro Bowls on your resume.
It's just hard.
How?
Right.
You're right.

Broncos
the Broncos
have won five in a row
knocking off the Browns
first time in NFL history
we've had a game
which ended 29-12
I think Sean Payton
has realized
at this point
Russ career
less is more
so you know Russ loved to cook but Sean Payton just let them handle the, Russ' career, less is more. So, you know, Russ loved to cook,
but Sean Payton just let them handle the appetizers right now.
Yeah.
He said, we will.
Because in the four of the last five games,
they've topped 125, 120 yards rushing in four of the five games of the win streak.
Russ hasn't posted a single game of 300 yards passing game during that span.
He's only averaging about 170 yards passing per game.
Yeah, I saw that.
But, but, but he hasn't thrown an interception.
I think he had a fumble today, right?
Didn't he fumble today?
I think he fumbled once today.
Yeah.
Listen, the Broncos, them boys, them boys, them boys done won five straight.
Like Russell Wilson say, Bronco Nation, let's ride.
Are you ready? Are you ready are you are you
ready to get russians are you ready to get russell's flowers now is it yeah he's playing
well he's playing well hey listen now he's not throwing throwing up historic numbers you know
we were all fussing about obviously the chemistry between him and sean payton it wasn't what it
should be and man forget all that you know jerry jud should be. And, man, forget all that. You know, Jerry, Judy,
and Corlin Sutton, man,
they're on a five-game win streak.
Yeah, I would like to see them
get Judy involved more, though, man.
I don't know what it is.
What is going on, Ocho?
You're a wide receiver.
What's going on with Judy?
Why is there no connection?
Right now, obviously,
if you look at the numbers,
if you look at the numbers,
listen, Russell only threw the ball
22 times today.
No, 13 for 22 for 125 yards.
So unless you have plays specifically scripted for him, I think Sean Payton has Russell Wilson playing mistake-free football.
He's not really wanting to let it go or let it all hang out for that matter. Keep us in contention.
Keep us close in the game so we can win these games,
which is why I think they have won the last five.
I think when he gets a little bit more comfortable
and gets back to his old self,
I think that's when we'll start throwing all over the place,
all willy-nilly, like I call it,
and we'll see the 300, 400-yard, well, not 400,
400 is a little bit much,
but 400-yard gain from Wilson again.
No, I don't know.
I don't know if that's necessarily
because when you got Javante Williams,
you got some IJP Ryan, and they're running the ball.
They're power backs.
So, hey, let's see if we can keep it third and short.
Yeah, sometimes I think I wish they could push the ball
down the field because everybody's crowned a lion.
I mean, a lot of times, Javante
is getting the ball. He can't hit in the backfield.
I'm like, well, damn.
But this seems to be the
recipe in order to make the dish
that's palatable for the Broncos
to win football games. So,
I'm all for that. As long as they win the game,
all the other stuff I can do without.
Alex Smith calls out Tom Brady for NFL criticism,
saying Brady played in the biggest cupcake division.
He said the biggest complaint with Brady comments
was Brady played in the most uncompetitive division.
You come out of training camp,
the biggest cupcake division,
you got to take it to the playoffs right away.
Like, talk about mediocre.
I completely disagree with this.
But here's the thing, Ocho.
Two things can be true.
Tom Brady played in the most uncompetitive division,
the AFC East.
Yeah, they were bad.
They were bad.
They were bad.
But when he got to the playoffs,
Tom Brady played in three years with the playoff game.
His record is, well, notwithstanding.
So let's see, how many games did he win in Tampa?
He lost the first year.
So he won about four games.
So he won about 30 playoff games in New England.
Now, he's beating the best in the AFC South,
the AFC North and the AFC West.
Yeah.
And guess what?
When he goes to the Superbowl,
he beat the best they got to offer.
So Alex Smith,
you're absolutely right.
Right.
That was the most uncompetitive division,
but it damn sure they handed him when it came playoff time.
Cause they were kicking ass and taking names for 20 years for 20 years yeah most most definitely most definitely i think what tom
was talking about more so to me obviously you was talking about the product the product on the field
you know and one of the issues again with what tom was saying is the nfl the competition committee
they have handicapped the game so much where you can't even play the type of football
that Tom is used to seeing.
You can't even play that type of football anymore.
I just saw, what running back was that?
No, the receiver.
Armond St. Brown.
Armond St. Brown, he's fined $43,000.
$43,000.
I watched the play five times.
I still don't know what he's talking about.
I watched it five times trying to figure out what in the world did he do wrong?
Right.
Like, I think there's some type of conspiracy and somebody's parking his some money.
Because the fines that they handing out right now are ridiculous.
$43,000 for that, Ocho?
Come on, man.
$43,000?
And you know what I'm not hearing?
Are they winning these appeals? Is
Merton Haynes still on? Is Merton Haynes
still the one? Nah, I think it's
if I had to, I think it's James Thrash
and
Brooks.
Brooksie. For real?
D. Brooks. Yeah. I think they
handled the appeal. Come on, man.
Ain't no way.
Something ain't right.
Something ain't right.
Something is going on.
Something has to go.
Now, the big stuff goes to John Runyon.
Wait, John Runyon?
John Runyon?
Yeah, yeah.
Used to be the Eagles right tackle.
Yeah.
Oh, Lord.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's $43,000.
I think the big stuff.
I think the stuff like Kareem Jackson.
Yeah, I think stuff like that.
I think it goes to him.
I know you saw this.
People are upset that Blue Ivy received criticism about her dance moves early this year.
But Blue Ivy used it as motivation.
Blue Ivy made her first appearance on stage with her mother in May when Beyonce performed in Paris.
The 11-year-old became concert staple regularly, showing up to dance with a mother in May when Beyonce performed in Paris. The 11-year-old became
concert staple regularly, showing up to
dance with a mother's performance, My Power.
One
revelation
from
the premiere of Renaissance, a film
by Beyonce, was how Blue Ivy
read some social media comments
mocking her dance move.
Beyonce said she was dismayed
when an 11-year-old read the post
criticizing her lackluster moves.
But instead of quitting, she decided
to put the work in, train even
harder for future stops.
People are upset about trolls making
fun of an 11-year-old, but they're part of
the blessing and the curse of being a child of fame.
People pay thousands, thousands
of Ocho to see that.
So if you let your child,
if you open your child up to that,
you open your child up to criticism.
You know what's funny is,
as a parent myself of 85 kids,
I like it.
I like it.
I like my kids to be open to criticism
at an early age.
I want you to understand
when you get in that real world
and your daddy's not there
or your mama's not there,
this is how life is going to be.
Everybody ain't going to like you.
For sure.
Everybody ain't going to like you
no matter how nice you try to be,
whatever it might be.
In the case of Blue Ivy,
the fact that she said, oh, I'm not worried about
what y'all talking about. I'm finna go do
what I've seen my mama do.
I love it. I'm finna go work on this.
Work. And work and work
until I get it right. And what did
she do? She got it right.
She got better. She was a staple. Every time
Beyonce went out there and performed,
Blue Ivy was out there hitting that routine. And I
know the routine by heart.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, you
think I know. I know the routine.
I ain't going to do the rest of it.
I just hit my knuckle on the mic, man. That hurt.
That's what you get. Yeah,
but I don't know. I don't understand
because you have to understand, Ocho,
it's just like anything. When people play
large sums of money,
people, okay, that's your child.
She better be able to do all the moves.
You put up in there.
That's just the way it is.
I mean, I'm being for real.
I mean, I know how much, look,
I hadn't been, I went to the old concert and I think, and I ended up paying like,
like $8,000 for two seats.
God damn. Yes. And I'm sure there were more this time around.
Right. And so when people pay that enormous sum of money, you and you put see, if you put your kids in that situation, you subject them to the same criticism that you will receive.
Right. Right. Because they're looking at it like okay she in
there oh she must be could do it she must be no this ain't no ymca now these ain't oh joe these
ain't no seven no five and six year old right that you know they'd be all being in the ah that's my
little angel isn't that cute oh hell no are you but you mean you won't get you you're not gonna
get that type of treatment from the real world anyway. No. If you ain't on point, oh, you know, they ain't going to spare you no grace now.
Right.
Not us.
Our people?
Right.
No, they ain't going to spare you no grace.
But again, the fact that she's able to do what she did
at such a young age,
obviously, you know who her parents are.
Yes.
Her parents are two perfectionists.
In order to get to perfection,
you know what it took to get there.
So the fact that she has that already
at 11 years old,
oh man, you ain't looking,
you looking at greatness now.
Oh, Joe.
Well, that's a call though.
Because you got Jay-Z as your dad,
you have Beyonce as your mom.
The level of expectation
has greatly increased
just because of who your parents are.
Oh, yeah.
When your mother can dance,
well, you ought to be able to do it like she do yeah that's yeah it's just like when parents of uh uh uh or professional
you know his dad played this and his mom did that they automatically expect the child to be great at
it right right but you gotta do what it is you gotta work you gotta work because there's no
substitute for you think jay-z obviously he worked at it beyonce didn't come out the womb knowing how to do what she does she worked on
her craft continuously continuously and now what you what you see now is greatness one of the
greatest of all time yes for sure so i understand both sides understand but she's just a child
but when you i mean people don't not look
and most people aren't going to have
in a situation like that,
not going to have their child up there dancing.
Yeah.
If the child's not on point
because you subject the child to criticism
that would be bestowed an adult
because you put them in an adult role.
Right, right.
That's my take.
I like it.
I'm sure people don't disagree. Check this out, Ocho. King Harris, T.I.'s son. Right, right. That's my take. I like it. I'm sure people don't disagree.
Check this out, Ocho.
King Harris,
T.I.'s son,
fights with his parents
on IG Live.
A live stream
at the Falcons game
this afternoon
went sideways
after King started
arguing with his parents.
At one point,
T.I. could be heard yelling,
you're an embarrassment
to your family.
You're an embarrassment. Later, King posted, I could be heard yelling, you're an embarrassment to your family. You're an embarrassment.
Later, King posted, I stand on business.
I don't give a F who you are.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, King, King, King, King, man, is up and stuck.
He whatever, he's standing on business.
You know what it is.
King like that.
I mean, that's what the streets told me.
They told me King don't don't
king don't even play he ain't the one all that all i get that fine and good but the bible say
honor thy mother and thy father and your days will be long long but wait a minute wait a minute
was king raised by his mother and father was king raised by his grandmother? Because I'm kind of confused. I'm kind of confused.
He said, he said, and
I read this, where
he said he was raised by his grandmother
and when they shot the show
he would come over there for the show.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Well, maybe they had some type of special arrangement.
Everybody's living arrangement
is different. Ocho,
I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather.
My grandma raised me too.
I ain't going to be disrespectful to my parents.
Oh, no, not my mama.
They gave you life.
Well, you know Hurricane Paula?
No, man.
Come on, bro.
I mean, clearly, they love you.
You've done things and they bailed you out.
They've been there.
And I understand that's what a parent's supposed to do. But, bro, this disrespect. Yeah. they love you you've done things and they bailed you out they've been there yeah and i understand
that's what a parent's supposed to do but bro this disrespect yeah i mean about that listen
i know i know you're not about it obviously on you you you are raising a different time you know
your grandma ain't played at your mom ain't played at uh i know i know tip very well i know tiny very
well obviously they don't play that play that either
but i think king we don't know what he's going through we don't know what he's going through he
you know it might be more than beneath the surface that we don't know you know there might be some
things circulating as a as a child as a teenager wait is he a teenager yet he is a teenager right
yeah yeah for sure yeah yeah as a teenager some other things going on because that that rage in that anger that would display where
that camera was rolling that's more than just an argument that's more than just
me being upset it's more to it than that and I can I can tell so I I don't agree
with it I don't agree with it but as a child there's something else going on
where chip got to sit him
down and talk to him, man. Father
the son, because it's deeper than whatever he was
angry about.
Sometimes
there have been times that I knew
that my grandmother was wrong.
For real? I just eat it.
But grandma ain't never wrong, man.
I just eat it. I just eat it. Right.
You just eat it. Yeah.
It's okay.
Right.
Because I know in the long run what she's trying to do.
Yes, sir.
And I never felt that my grandmother punished me unnecessarily.
And I always kept that in the back of my mind.
Right.
It was always a long game that she was trying to play.
Shannon, when you go
out in the real world I want you to be like I said because I tell people that's all the time
the problem she was was what we became outside of football the men the people that we were the way
we conducted ourselves right and at the end of the day I am am a representative. I am a representation of Barney and Mary Porter.
I'm also a representation
of my mom, Mary Alice
Dixon. So I always
remember that.
That always stuck with me. And my dad also.
You know, I named my son after
my dad. Because
I only saw my dad once
in my life to know who he was.
And so I remember we were having a at my life to know who he was. And so I remember
we were at my
grandmother's house. This was like
early, like 1981,
early. And he was
going to come home. Now, mind you,
my dad had cancer.
And so he had it
remission, but it came back,
Ocho. But this time he had oral
cancer. So he had to have both of his jawbones
removed. So
he was going to come home. My grandma,
her name was Minnie, but they called
her Charlie. He called her Charlie. We called her
Grandma Charlie. And he said, Charlie.
And she was telling him, say,
Pete. That's what they called him, Pete. His name was
Wynton. They called him Pete. She said,
Pete, come on home. Them kids want to
see you. He didn't want to come home because he didn't want us to see him like that. Remember,
he had had both of his jawbones removed. And the last time we saw him, I was probably
in kindergarten, first grade. So here I'm about to be 13. So it's been a long time and he says i don't want the kids to see me like this
so she say she say pete them kids gonna love you they just want to see their dad he said you know
what charlie i'm gonna come home i'm gonna see him and he died before it happened so i always
remember that and from that point on there was no more disagreeing with my mom no more
arguing because life was too short yeah it wasn't so for what because I really sincerely always
believed that my grandmother my grandfather my mother they always had my best interest in mind
even though I couldn't see it at the time. And when you young, you don't
because you want what you want.
You want to do what you want to do
and you want to do it how you want to do it.
Yeah, that's right.
And that's what the young generation,
that's what, there's a lot.
Sometimes I see how these kids,
and even when I'm in Target
or Whole Foods or someplace,
and I see the way kids talk,
I'm like, really?
Well, it's different now, now.
Well, you can't...
Listen, one thing about it.
You know the rules
that are set in place right now.
They'll call child service
on you so quick,
you'll lose your kids.
You can't discipline like...
No, no, no, no, no.
Like they used to discipline us back then?
No, no, no.
Back in the 80s?
No.
Man, shh.
You won't have a child no more?
No.
You can't even...
I saw something on Twitter today
about kids that are misbehaving.
They said that you need to teach your kids to listen
because they're not born knowing how to
because listening is a skill.
And I never heard it quite put like that before.
And it made so much sense
because they would tell us to do something
and we'd do the complete opposite.
And what do they do to us to make sure and we'd do the complete opposite. And what do they do to us
to make sure we don't do it again?
Man, go get that switch.
Go get that switch off that tree real quick.
Yeah, yeah.
Or pick up the first thing
they can find and hit you with it.
And that is the way to get us to listen
when they tell us to do something.
I think the biggest thing is, Ocho,
is that people listen to respond
instead of listen to understand.
Damn, ooh, that's a good one.
My grandfather. Wait, wait, wait.
Let me write that down.
Write it down.
Gotta write that down. I need that one.
I gotta use that with my girl when we
fighting. Ocho,
I remember I was little
and it used to break my heart
when my grandfather would yell at me and I would
start crying.
And my grandmother would always say Barney, he's just a little fella.
Don't yell at him.
He would say, Mary, I can only tell him something once because living on a farm and being around
machinery and being around these animals, I can't tell him a second time because it
might kill him or he might get seriously injured.
So I have to make sure he understands the first time.
Right.
So.
That's kind of how I am with my kids, I would talk to him in such a way and I understand and they understand now, but they didn't understand that kind of like I didn't understand.
But now, as you got older, my kids know everything
that I was saying to them
was about the long game.
And so that's how,
and King doesn't understand
because we don't think
our parents know anything.
Like, you don't know
what I'm going through.
It is different.
Social media is a different animal
than anything that you,
I, our parents, our grandparents never experienced anything like social media.
But that doesn't give you an excuse to be disrespectful to your parents.
But the thing is, Ocho, when we grew up, the community raised us.
Oh, yeah.
You doing something bad?
Miss Martha, Miss Margie, somebody.
Hey, boy. Hey, ain't you ain't you married, boy? Yeah. Yes, yeah. You doing something bad? Miss Martha, Miss Margie, somebody, hey, boy,
ain't you married, boy?
Yeah.
Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
Don't make me tell you
you're down here misbehaving.
Yes, ma'am.
Not even that.
Not even that.
The people,
I call it the village.
The village
knows if you do something wrong,
the village is allowed
to spank you.
For sure.
And then,
when you get home and they tell your parents what you did, then your parents spank you. For sure. And then when you get home
and they tell your parents what you did,
then your parents spank you too.
So you're getting double whammy.
Double, double.
Boy, I remember one time in church,
I never forget.
One time in church,
I'm in Sunday school
and I had a dollar
and I wanted to get some
from the soda machine.
I wanted to get some
from the soda machine
and I asked the lady at the time in church. I wanted to get some from the soda machine.
And I asked the lady at the time in church, I said, can't remember her name,
sister, whatever it might've been.
You know, do you have change for the, I had a dollar bill.
Do you have change for a dollar?
She said, no, I don't.
I don't have change for a dollar, but if I can find 50 cents,
I give you half of whatever it might have been. It was something like that. And I ended up,
I ended up taking a dollar
and cutting it in half with scissors,
with scissors,
trying to be funny.
Talk about something.
Here you go, half right here.
Something.
I can't remember the story.
I just remember getting my ass whooped
once in church
for cutting that money in half.
And then once my grandma
came to church for service at 11 o' and then once once my grandma came to church for
service at 11 o'clock i got my ass whooped again then i had to get home and my granddaddy my
granddaddy didn't rule me out three times because i'm playing around like i don't know what man i
oh man i got so many good stories man yeah but but that's that's the thing, though, Ocho. Like I said, I think the, they, but I would learn.
I mean, I was, me and my brother, my grandfather would always say, I remember one night, this had to be 75, 76.
Like I said, my brother, my brother, my grandfather slept in the bed and me and my grandmother slept in the bed. And I remember one night he said this so vividly.
He said,
Mary,
I'm going to,
I'll probably be dead and grown,
but them two boys going to make something.
He said,
they so smart.
They listen.
He said,
they listen to everything.
He said,
he said,
they listen to everything.
And he was talking about that little one.
That was me.
He said,
I little wouldn't know enough to be dangerous.
Because I could repeat.
He could say something, I could repeat it.
Just like that.
Because, you know, back then, Ocho, you know, nobody had no cell phone.
So my grandfather, he said, hey.
Somebody, he was like, okay, Barney, you know what my number is?
He said, tell it to the boys.
So they would tell me and my brother the number.
So when we got home, now we might be gone for another hour or two.
When we get home, he would say, hey, boys, what's such and such number?
You still remember?
Like, forgetting it wasn't an option.
Right, right, right, right, right.
There was only one way to do things.
That was his way.
And like I said, and that's why I'm so hard.
Ocho, mistakes were not acceptable.
He didn't make excuses.
And that's why he's like, man, you don't.
Ocho, I was the youngest cousin.
It was five boys, me, Lanny, my brother Spanky, Eugene, and Arnie.
I'm the youngest by two years.
So they throwing at waltzes.
So my cousin Eugene hit the waltz
nest, rest his soul. He passed away about 45
years ago. He hit the waltz nest.
They come down,
light me up. I close.
They done stung me in the back of my head. I got a pump
out of the back of my head. Why didn't you run?
I did run. So
you know what I did? I ran home
and told Papa. I said, Papa, I was crying.
I done closed those little tears coming out of the eye with your lips,
whoa, got stinging in the butt.
I said, Papa, they were throwing at them waltzes,
and they came out and they stung me.
He looked at me.
He said, you should have run.
I said, Papa, I did run.
He said, you should have run fast.
No excuses.
Right.
You could never bring that man an excuse home
because he wasn't going to accept it.
Right.
And from that point,
anybody that's ever been around me,
don't make no excuses.
Right.
Either you did or you didn't.
It's really that simple.
Yeah.
No gray area.
None.
Yeah.
None.
Parenting is completely different, especially in this day and age, obviously with social media, things are different. The kids are our kids, you know, obviously with me being a father of 85, our kids are exposed to a lot more, a lot faster than we were. And you just, you got to maneuver different as a parent. You got to maneuver different as a parent you got to maneuver different as a parent so you do it's unfortunate um obviously again back back to the topic at hand uh on on king and um the disrespect
of of of ti and then tiny i think it's deeper i think it's much deeper than what we saw obviously
the disrespect isn't isn't right you you really can't do that and obviously ti repeatedly saying
you're embarrassing your family and embarrassing yourself. You know, I understood where T.I. was coming from.
But also as a child, I can empathize, sympathize with King, especially in his day and age with the jokes and people making fun of him online.
And some of the things that people have said to him, you know, after doing my homework, knowing that we were going to talk about this topic, that he can be a little frustrated with some of that stuff and it can get to you. And I think
he was at wit's end and that that's what we saw. I think that's why I said that social media.
Yeah. I think it was a little deeper. That's why I said that.
If, if, if, if social media make you to break you.
Yeah. Yeah. That, that, that, that it can.
And you're looking, you, you, you looking for P you looking for
assurances and reassurances and guidance.
Validation.
Validation.
Yeah.
And it's not going to work.
I just, hopefully he,
for me, you know,
I just hope that they can one day
sit down and have an open
and honest conversation
and move in a positive manner.
Ocho, I don't know if you saw this,
but I want to,
there was two professors
and they asked their college class,
they said, we're going to give you two options. We got you, you're looking for a job, right? Oh,
they said, we got two options. Option eight, you make a hundred thousand, but all of your
coworkers are going to make 200,000. That's option eight. You make $100,000, all your co-workers make $200,000.
Option B, you make $50,000, your co-workers make $25,000.
50% chose option B.
And what they deduced, people don't want better for themselves.
They actively want people to do worse than them.
Let that sink in, Ocho. Yeah.
They were willing to take
$50,000 less
as long as somebody
was worse off than them.
I could care less.
I'm going option A.
I'm going option A
come hell or high water.
I don't care what's going on
because one thing about it,
I will say it
and I will say it this time
this time and time again.
People that are watching me, you will never be able to enjoy what's on your plate as long as you looking and trying to take off somebody else's.
Yes.
Every time.
Just focus on your plate.
Focus on your plate.
Focus on the food you got going on.
Whatever money you got coming in, find a way to make more money.
You always got to lock on to your own. And one of the things I always say
is when people always know
how much other people making,
that means you ain't making enough.
You ain't making enough.
It ain't got to be nothing big.
Even if it's coming in small increments,
just focus on your own plate, man.
Yeah.
He said,
well, we found out that people
actually care
more about others
than they do themselves.
And you know what irks me?
When people,
I hear people say
they don't deserve.
Who are you to say
God made a mistake
in blessing me?
Somebody else.
I didn't get what,
I don't get what I deserve.
I got what I earned.
Yeah.
You got what you earned.
What does deserve
have to do anything
with my hard work?
Yeah.
And people are just like, what's for you?
Whatever God has intended for you.
I don't care.
I don't care how many stumbling blocks, how many roadblocks, how many obstructions someone tried to place.
It ain't going to do nothing.
God will make sure you arrive at that destination
and get all of your blessings. Every time. Every time. I don't concern myself because the way I
look at Ocho, me and his business, when I saw Charles Barkley could be himself, could talk
with the dialect that he had, was unapologetically not afraid to make fun
of himself, I said, I could do that.
I said, I got
just a good sense of humor. I can tell
stories. I said, I can do that.
I'm not, man, why Charles Barkley get all
that? I see Michael Strahan on Good
Morning America. I see Stephen A doing
what he, I said, I can do that. I said, Stephen
A went to an HBCU like me.
Michael Strahan went to an HBCU like me. I said, I can do that. I just want A. went to an HBCU like me. Marcus Strahan went to an HBCU like me.
I said, I can do that.
Yeah.
I just want somebody to give me an opportunity to present.
Be prepared when the opportunity presents itself.
Yeah.
So I don't get jealous of somebody.
Man, such and such making $100 million.
Okay.
He did it.
Well, if he made it, that means somebody else can make it.
I can make it too.
I see people that are making more than me or I see people that are doing well.
I see that as motivation.
That is inspiring.
I'm from Miami.
I'm from Liberty City.
You know what's motivating to me?
It's very motivating to me, even though we're in two completely different lanes and we live two completely different lifestyles.
To see Rick Ross, man.
Yes. To know where Rick Ross came from
back when we were shorties,
when he was at Carroll City.
To see what he's done
with life and business,
entrepreneurship.
Oh, that shit is inspiring, man.
That shit is inspiring.
I ain't really never even said this before.
I'm just saying,
I look at that
and it just make me want to do more.
Not do more to do the things that he does
because I will never ever reach that level.
You know?
I will never reach that level.
No, only positive.
Why not?
I mean...
He did it.
But listen, you know, I ain't...
So if he did it, that means you could do it.
I'm just saying.
I don't maneuver that way.
I'm not a private jet when I'm having, you know,
two, 300 cars.
He don't have to do that.
That's what he wants to do.
Well, why can't you accumulate that and say,
you know what, I'm still going to fly what I fly.
Right.
That's where the motivation and inspiration part come from.
You know?
I just thought
that shit is beautiful to see, man.
Sometimes I can wake up
in the morning, bro,
and I just go to the page
and just look at it.
Like, that's just,
that's raw.
And it just made me want to get up
and just get up
and just do something.
Like, I need more jobs.
Well, that's,
my greatest motivation
was my role model
who lived in the house with me.
My brother went to the
University of South Carolina.

Everybody's not going to be happy
with the way I talk,
the way I dress,
what I say.
Hey, I criticize this.
Somebody's going to be upset.
I talk about this person.
Well, I didn't talk about
that person long enough.
Well, you said this about Josh Allen,
but you didn't say this
about Lamar Jackson.
You said this about Dak Prescott.
You didn't say this
about Patrick Mahomes.
Bro, you can't please everybody, nor should
you attempt to. Yeah.
The hardest job in the world is
to try to please 8 billion people.
But you'll never be happy.
See? You'll never ever be
happy. Exactly. Never
ever. And so, yeah, when I see
guys, I see a Ross, and I see a Snoop Dogg,
or I see people in my profession,
Stephen A., and I see how hard he works, and I see Stray, and I see a Ross and I see a Snoop Dogg or I see people in my profession, Stephen A., and I see how hard he works
and I see Stray and I see how hard he
works and I see Charles Barkley and I see
Shaq. Man, I'm like, man, I can
do that. I see Charles Barkley from Alabama.
I'm from rural South Georgia.
Shaq grew up in San Antonio.
He was a
military kid, moved
a lot of different places.
When he talks about what he say places. But when he talks about,
when he say Sarge,
he talks about his father,
Sarge, discipline, structure.
Yeah.
You see?
Yeah.
You know, it's funny.
I like that you just said that,
that two of the most important things that I didn't have growing up,
two of the most important things
I didn't have growing up,
that grandma always instilled in me,
my grandfather always tried to instill in me, but I constantly, my structure and discipline, I didn't have it in life.
I had it on the field.
I had it in, I had it in the area where it didn't matter.
It took, it took the man, it took the man.
Okay.
You're not listening.
Okay.
Okay.
Obviously he's not seeing the motherfucking science.
Oh, you're still doing that, huh? Okay. You know what? Let me sit you, let me sit your black ass down real quick.
Let me sit you, let me sit you down real quick. Let me take some of this stuff from you
so you can, you can understand you ain't moving right. Nah, back on track. The structure and the
discipline is in place. The foundation that I need is in place, you know. And without a foundation,
shit, what you going to grow?
What you going to grow
if your foundation ain't solid?
No, no, no, you can't.
And if there's nothing
that can stand
if the foundation isn't solid.
At all.
And even if you build
a solid foundation
on leaky ground,
on shaky ground,
it still will succumb.
Oh, yeah.
At some point.
Every time.
Yeah.
Every time. And if you ain't got no structure and discipline, Oh, yeah. At some point. Every time. Yeah. Every time.
And if you ain't got
no structure and discipline,
you bound to fall
at some point.
Yeah.
First of all,
without discipline,
you'll probably quit
and you're not going
to be focused.
Yeah.
Because people like,
what's discipline?
I said it requires you
to do your best
when no one's watching.
Or how about this?
How about all them
New Year's resolutions?
Everybody in the chat,
all them New Year's resolutions
you had in January? Is you still doing them now? How about all them New Year's resolutions? Everybody in the chat, all them New Year's resolutions you had in January?
Is you still doing them now?
How many you stuck with?
Don't lie, you know.
It's hard for anybody to ascend
to a certain level.
Forget, I'm not just talking about,
I'm not talking about sports.
I'm not talking about celebrity fame.
I'm talking about it's hard to ascend to any level of success without discipline.
It's hard, Ocho.
Yeah.
Without structure.
Very.
This, this, this, this, and this.
Even if you're talented, even if you're extremely talented, you've got to have discipline and structure.
Got to.
Got to. Got to.
Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,
break free from the chains of trauma, and silence the negative voices that have kept them small.
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 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
if all you're doing is living to please people.
Your mountain is that.

A lot of times the big economic forces we hear about on the news show up in our lives in small ways.
Three or four days a week, I would buy two cups of banana pudding.
But the price has gone up, so now I only buy one.
The demand curve in action, and that's just one of the things we'll be covering on Everybody's Business from Bloomberg Businessweek.
I'm Max Chavkin.
And I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith.
Every Friday, we will be diving into the biggest stories in business,
taking a look at what's going on, why it matters, and how it shows up in our everyday lives.
But guests like Businessweek editor Brad Stone, sports reporter Randall Williams,
and consumer spending expert Amanda Mull
will take you inside the boardrooms, the backrooms,
even the signal chats that make our economy tick.
Hey, I want to learn about VeChain.
I want to buy some blockchain or whatever it is that they're doing.
So listen to Everybody's Business on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
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's 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, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your

What is that?
Aswa?
Aswa?
Sadi?
Donated $50.
Oh, joke. Hey! Who are your top four teams that will make college football finals and do you see caleb williams being the number one draft pick
well no matter what happens on saturday uh alabama alabama georgia will be in the college
football playoffs yeah no matter what happens they can lose 100 to nothing. They're going.
I believe Michigan
is going to beat Iowa.
So they'll be there.
There are two.
The three seed
will Florida State
beat Louisville.
That's going to be interesting
because I believe
if Louisville were to beat
Florida State,
I don't believe Florida State
is going to go with one loss
because they lost
their quarterback,
Jordan Travis.
Now it comes down, okay,
Oregon and
Washington, right? Yeah, I would say
Washington. They play each other? Yeah, I would
have put Washington at three.
Because I think
Ohio State's at five, right?
Or six.
Washington beat Oregon.
So who do they play for the Pac-12 title?
Okay.
So the question is, Ocho.
Top four.
Excuse me.
If Oregon beats Washington,
Washington beat them early,
I think you have to take Oregon,
but then Washington says, well, we beat
them. So we got one
loss. I think the
unknown, let's just say
for the sake of argument, if
Alabama beats Georgia,
does Alabama
jump someone?
But we know that's not going to happen.
Alabama is squeezing out
lucky wins,
Hail Marys, you know,
by the grace of God,
the football gods blessing them,
they're not beating Georgia.
You thought that with Bryce Young,
when Bryce Young went down there and beat them.
You remember when Bryce Young beat them?
That was a much better Alabama team,
offensively and defensively.
But they think they're a little different now.
I think when it's
all said and done, I think it'll be
Georgia,
Michigan, Washington,
Oregon.
Nah,
Washington. Oregon, Washington
already beat Oregon. Yeah, but they
played for the Pac-12 title.
And they're going to beat them again.
It's easy if Washington beats them again. It's a foregone conclusion. They're undefeated And they're going to beat them again. It's easy if Washington
beats them again. It's a foregone conclusion.
They're undefeated. They're going to beat them again.
They're going to beat them again. There's too much firepower
over there.
Bo Nix playing though, man.
Yeah, Bo Nix playing, but
the Huskies,
they special.
They special.
So I'm going to go
Georgia, Michigan, Michigan, They special. They special. So I'm going to go, I'm going to go Alabama.
I'm going to go Georgia, Michigan.
I'm going to take the Ducks.
I'm going to take the Ducks.
I'm going to take the Ducks.
Who your number four then?
Don't say Alabama.
Where is Ohio State?
Florida State.
But here's the thing.
I think Louisville is going to beat Florida State. But here's the thing.
I think Louisville gonna beat Florida State.
What?
Hold on, let me plug my computer up.
I'm in the red.
Because they play for the championship, right?
ACC.
Hmm.
Well, here's the thing, Ojo.
Will the committee take
a one loss team
over an undefeated team
in the college football playoff
you know what
now we
look
the committee
the committee
got all kind of crazy rules
Georgia
I think Georgia and Michigan
is going regardless
right
oh yeah
most definitely
most definitely
because I think from start to finish,
they've been the two most dominant teams.
Mm-hmm.
But if Florida State loses and say,
well, obviously, if Washington beats Oregon,
Oregon, that's two losses, they're done.
Washington's in.
So now Ohio State has one loss.
Texas. Texas.
Texas plays Oklahoma State.
What happens to Boca?
See, I don't think with two losses,
I don't think anybody,
they didn't take Alabama last year with two losses.
So I don't think any two loss team is going to make it.
Nope.
You know what?
I'm just going to say pie in the sky.
I'm going to say Georgia,
Michigan,
Washington, Oregon. I'm going Bama. I'm going to say Georgia, Michigan, Washington, Oregon.
I'm going Bama. I'm going Bama.
Roll Tide.
I hate to say it, but I'm going to say Roll Tide.
All right.
Roll Tide.
Unculture J donated $10.

Jacob donated $20 and ask,
Oh,
use your third blessing to slide in the dark.
But here's the thing. As a sniper,
when a sniper shoots,
nobody hears it. Nobody
knows it.
Just target down.
Just target down, Ocho.
Go ahead and talk, man. I ain't
gonna say nothing. I like that one. I can aim.
I got it. Matter of fact, hold on. But I could not
fire. Let me write
that one down right there, Brian.
Yeah, when a sniper shoot, nobody.
Yeah, I'm stealing all them.
Vincent R. donated $10 and asked,
Uncle Nocho, who do you believe are your top five greatest boxers of all time?
And love your show.
Looking forward to it every day.
Top five all time.
Hey, Ali.
Okay.
Floyd, Mike Tyson.
Boy, there's so many greats, man.
There's a squeeze in that five, boy.
There's so many greats.
Sugar Ray Robinson would be at the top. There's a squeeze in that five, boy. There's so many greats. Sugar Ray Robinson
would be,
would be at the top.
That's your one?
Yeah.
Ooh, that's a good one.
I think Armstrong.
I mean,
because...
And it,
it might be preference too
based on who you like.
It is.
Because there's so many...
And who you saw.
Yeah. And who you saw. It is. Because there's so many... And who you saw. Yeah.
And who you saw.
Because, you know,
I saw a prime Roy Jones
and I thought he was
the greatest boxer I'd ever seen.
I saw prime Sweet Pea.
Sweet Pea Whitaker.
I don't know if you remember
Sweet Pea.
Yeah, of course.
Of course.
Best defense.
Yeah.
He was Floyd with defense before Floyd. Yeah. He was Floyd with defense before Floyd.
The Brown Bomber, Joe Lewis.
But you know, back in the old days, Ocho,
these guys would fight 10 times, 12 times a year.
Guys were having 180 fights in a career.
It's different now.
Yeah.
I only named three.
I said Floyd,
Muhammad Ali,
Mike Tyson.
I need two more.
I'm trying to think.
It's so many good ones, man.
The squeezing of that five.
Sugar Ray Robinson
is top five for me.
Yeah.
Joe Lewis is top five for me.
I'll put Floyd in there.
50-0
and the amount of champions
that he did beat.
I think that goes...
Ali had the biggest impact.
But you know,
a lot of times
getting in is the easy part.
It's getting out,
that's the hard part.
Hard part, yeah.
And sometimes these boxes
we see they should have left and it kind of kind of ruins the image that we have of them yeah um
man that's a good one it is i mean because you know all you hear stories about Jack Johnson um
yeah some of the
I wasn't able to watch
some of the people you name fight
obviously they were great ones
during their time during their era
I caught
I've seen enough of Muhammad Ali
I've seen enough of Floyd
I've seen enough of Mike
um yeah I mean you know Marvin Hagler Muhammad Ali. I've seen enough of, I've seen enough of Floyd. I've seen enough of Mike.
Um,
yeah.
I mean,
you know,
Marvin Hagler,
um,
you know, I came up in the eighties with the four horsemen.
Listen,
sugar Ray Leonard.
Yeah.
No,
Tommy Hearns.
I thought it's,
that's,
that's hard,
man.
You got Lennox Lewis.
I mean,
you got so many,
so many greats.
Yeah.
It's kind of hard to just like rank the boxers you probably have to
put them in you probably have to put them in a in a category of weight class right the five best
heavyweights the five best you know welterweights middleweight you know flyweights because it's just
it's too hard to arrange it's like okay because it's just it's just hard it's not like basketball
you know i'm saying you could just rank basketball you know you know football is a little hard because it's just hard. It's not like basketball.
You know what I'm saying?
You can just rank basketball.
You know, football is a little hard because like, okay,
because you kind of want to gear
towards offensive players.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
Unless you are LT that transcends
because the TJ Watts
and all these guys,
the Vaughn Millers
and all these guys, the Derek Thomas, the Cornelius Bennett, all that's because of LT.
I know who my favorite boxer is.
Now, he might not have been the best according to his record, but his style and his entertaining style of fighting would be equivalent to me on the football field.
Emmanuel Augustus. Not familiar with that. entertaining style of fighting would be equivalent to me on the football field emmanuel augustus
emmanuel augustus they call it his nickname was the drunken master now if you watch if you you
google him or you watch some of his youtube youtube stuff you'll understand why he's my
favorite now he wasn't obviously from from record wise he wasn't the best but entertainment value
he reminded me of prince he's like prince nassim and i was gonna say that's who reminds me of you prince nassim about the dance yeah yeah yeah yeah
doing flips over the top rope yeah yeah yeah but for those two those two right there from
an entertainment aspect man two two of my favorites man two of my favorites to be able to
be able to as difficult as boxing is which i consider boxing
to be the most difficult sport there is for them to be able to entertain the way they do in the
ring i just would love to see what their conditioning was like to prepare for a fight
because that shit they do was crazy yeah crazy oh yeah you ain't gonna tell me i know
uh patrick rendon donated $20 and asked,
Shannon, if it's true you recited Derek Thomas' girlfriend's phone number
in the middle of the game.
Because DT, no one heard what I said or didn't say,
and he's not here to refute it.
I just let that go.
All I will say is this, is that I've made peace with DT before he passed and he
and I are in a good spot.
So I'm going to leave it at that.
No place underscore like underscore homes donated.
It was a shame.
You were not a first ballot hall of famer.
What were your thoughts going in the year you got called up and how did you
feel once you were called up?
After I didn't get in on the first two times i just like i really didn't have a whole lot
of expectations um i know my grandmother had started to get in her health was starting to
deteriorate even more ocho and i at least wanted her to me to be able to tell her granny I'm in the hall of fame
and I remember when I got that call and I call her I said granny I'm I made the hall of fame
and you know she's like well what's that baby I say uh I said granny that's where all the all
the good players go when they retire she say uh oh we that that show lives nice i sure hope i'm around to see it i say you will be
granny you will be now my grandmother passed a month before the actual ceremony and i believe
that was her way because my grandmother knows she couldn't go and hear me give that speech in that
present body she couldn't see me give that speech in that present body. She couldn't see me give that speech in that present body.
She had to leave, Ocho.
She had to leave in order to hear and see me give that speech
and to give her her moment.
Because as I explained to the people,
I said, you see this man that did this bust?
He went to school to learn how to do this to turn uh a bronze or wood into a figure me i
didn't go to give i didn't go to school to give mary porter a face i say this god gifted me with
this to be able to paint a picture so when i'm done you know exactly who mary porter is and know
exactly how she looks so to to be able to call her and just and to give her like right said bro we did it
called my sister
she was crying
called my mom
called my homeboy Bucket and Burns
it was
great I mean you know
I mean I didn't think about no Hall of Fame
I'm a seven round draft pick bro I'm just trying to make some money.
I'm just trying to get my girl, you know,
keep my grandmother from having to go to work
and not have to wash, you know, clean people's house or anything.
Go fishing when she want to.
I wasn't thinking about no Hall of Fame.
I just wanted to play.
I just wanted, yay.
If I could say I played five, three, five years in the NFL, Ochoa,
I told people I was going to the NFL.
I ain't say I was going to play 25 years.
I said, I'm going to the NFL,
I'm playing the league.
Right.
Well, I did that.
And so, man, it was,
it's an unbelievable feeling.
It's not, it's not who I am.
It's what I did.
Yeah.
And so sometimes people, you know,
well, no, they don't send checks
for people to make the Hall of Fame.
It's an unbelievable honor. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's not.
But it didn't change me. I'm still Shannon. I'm still, you know, my homeboy, my kids.
I'm still the same. It didn't change me one way, Ocho. But it's an unbelievable honor.
Post a child donated ten dollars and said, hey, Ocho, who do you think is winning the EPL this year? Shout out from San Diego
EPL this year you don't know much
about soccer but right now
listen Arsenal is doing really well
obviously at the top of the table right now. After today's win. Did Vieri own replay for Arsenal?
Yeah, that was, yeah, that was.
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about that.
Don't talk about the win.
That's what I don't know.
That was a while ago.
Vieri owned.

Ain't nobody doing nothing.
Somebody just sent you that stuff. Yeah, Ain't nobody doing nothing. Ain't nobody doing nothing. Somebody just sent you that stuff.
Yeah, Arsenal at the top of the table right now.
Hopefully, Arsenal can actually keep a lead
and stay at the top of the table
and not let Man City overlap them
towards the end of the season.
So we'll see what happens.
Okay.
Ain't nobody sending me something.
Why you getting out, Joe?
Because I know somebody's sending it to you.
Ain't nobody said nothing.

John Marshall donated.
He said, pardon my interruption.
Yo, Ocho, I'm having a live
debate on chat
how you're a better receiver than Steve
Smith. Can y'all please opine
on this?
I don't know about that one, Ocho.
We all good.
I don't know about that one.
What are
we going to debate?
I don't know.
Ocho, we make a case.
You got to make a case.
I'm the judge.
I'm the judge.
You got to make a case.
You got to present a case in front of my court.
I don't need to make no case.
I'm Ocho.
You Ocho?
Steve Smith was that boy, man.
You know, me and Steve,
we go way back to junior college.
You know, he played a little longer than I did,
but he was that boy.
How long did Smitty play?
15 or 16 years?
I don't know.
He played for a little minute.
I don't know.
Yeah, because he went to Baltimore.
He played like three,
four years in Baltimore.
What did he play?
Because Smitty came out in 01.
Because my last Pro Bowl,
he was a rookie
and he was the returner
for the NFC. Yeah.
He played 16. Yeah.
He played 16? Yes.
God. Yes. Damn.
Yeah, that boy was nice.
JVL NC donated $5
and asked, from a single father with two
little boys, how did you instill value
and discipline in your children
during the season or when you couldn't be
there?
That was the moms.
Why was that? Get rid of Satan.
Because their mom
told them
your dad not lenient
like mom.
Your dad is only going to tell you something
one time.
That's it.
And he's
going to talk to you in a tone
that you're not used to hearing.
So
the kids were on their best
behavior. It wasn't until they
got to be teenagers,
but the kids really know.
It was just my oldest.
Because my oldest, she lived with me
her junior and senior year.
So she's a 16, 17-year-old female
going through all of what they go through.
She want what she want.
She's strong will.
And so, you know we have to have a lot of conversations um and you know one of my one of my one of my one of my favorite lines
kayla don't make daddy lose his job
that's a good one don't be totally daddy lose his job. That's a good one. Don't make Danny
lose his job.
But
it's because you
hate Ocho because
during the season, you know, they would come out early,
come out for a couple of games before it got too
cold. And, you know, back then,
you know, I would have to, you know,
they were
good. My sister would either fly,
would fly to, to bring them
or my son, my, my girlfriend would,
would, would go get him.
And his mother was, was great about like,
okay, I trust you.
You trust her with our son.
So, you know, back then you could walk the kid you walked out and what
no you didn't have to you had to have a ticket
she walked the kid
my ex would get off the plane get him
you know do their pleasantries and get back
on the plane and bring him and
then you know I had to work
so you know she's
she's handling that or you know
come time for trick or treat she take him to
the facility you know she go get him you know go get him a costume and take him to the facility.
So, but it's tough.
It's tough when you're not there full time and you want things a certain way.
And that's not the way.
Because think about it, Ocho.
90% of the time, do it in a different way
than what they would do it with you
yeah
and they young
they
four, five, eight years old
they're like well
man I've been doing it
I've been doing it like this
forever
why I can't do it like this now
right
yeah that's funny
the discipline and the morals
and the understanding
the value of a dollar,
all those other things. Obviously, when I was in season, one of the things that I mean,
I see it from time to time on here, the importance of those you have kids from,
the importance of being on the same page with those that you have kids from,
and understanding as long as you two are on the same page, everything else is easy, especially
when it comes to getting the kids to understand right from wrong, understand the value of a dollar,
understanding the life lessons and why things are or why they are. It makes life so much easier
when it's done that way, instead of always being combative,
instead of always arguing and then always arguing, well, you get the child and it just, it's just,
it causes so much mess. We definitely tried to make it, we definitely tried to, you know,
not to argue in front of the kids. Didn't always work out like that because, you know, hey,
you got your point.
You want to get your point in.
I want to get my point in.
Right,
right,
right.
But when it came down to it,
you know,
well,
what do they want for Christmas?
I get it.
No,
they don't need that.
No,
no.
Get it.
Yeah.
And so it was hard.
But as they started to get older,
I started to get less and less
and less of what they wanted for Christmas.
You're not going to get 15 Christmas gifts.
And every one that you want,
you're not going to get that
because it doesn't work like that in the real world.
So as they started to get older,
you have to explain,
nah, you're not getting this, this, and this
because somebody else got that.
Okay, that's fine.
No.
So as they got older,
you try, you could explain it.
They understood.
But they're like,
but daddy, you make,
yeah, daddy make,
you don't.
That's the difference.
You know, the funny thing,
the older they get,
for me,
I already got all my Christmas lists
already from all the kids.
The older they get,
the smaller the list gets
and just a little bit more pricey.
Yeah, thank you.
They don't want 15 things.
They want the little things
that cost more than those 15 things.
15.
Yeah.
Oh, I done got the list.
I done got the list.
You got yours already?
Already.
Already.
Already.
Already.
But I like to get that out the way.
I said, don't wait till the last minute.
And then they don't have it.
And then you're going to talk about, well, they don't have it.
You're not, I promise you, whatever you put on this list,
you're not the only one that want it.
Yeah, most definitely.
So just to make sure you, you know, you're able to get what you want
or a close facsimile of it.
My son really easy to shop for now
because he got my grand.
All he think about is stuff for the baby.
I'm like, y'all easy.
Yeah.
Y'all easy.
I like that right here.
He getting most of the stuff anyway.
Y'all ain't getting, you know,
y'all a little gift card.
Y'all going to be opening presents to New Year's.
All the stuff he going to get.

the thing is that this job at this juncture the last thing my sister because she had the most
important job because she had to be there and protect the most important asset which was our
grandmother so my mind and my brother's mind could be at ease. She gave up whatever she might have wanted to become
or what she wanted to do
to make sure Granny was taken
care of. So for that,
there ain't no price tag. We've been taking
care of my sister. My sister hadn't had
a job since
the late
80s.
But
taking care of Granny, that was her job.
Whatever Granny need,
whatever time of the night, whatever it is,
you have that.
And for that,
you'll never have to work a day
in your life.
My mom, well,
she had the most important
job. She gave birth to me.
So her job,
she getting royalties
for the rest of her life
of what she did in 1968.
