Ocho, as I mentioned it earlier, the Browns stunned the Bills
in the snow, 24-19.
They gave up a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter. You said the Bills. Excuse me. 24-19. They gave up a 19-point lead in the fourth quarter.
The Bills. Excuse me. The Steelers.
The Browns take down the Steelers
24-19. Jameis Winston.
They gave up a 12-point lead, but Jameis
Winston led off a game-winning
drive, capped off by a two-yard touchdown
by Nick Chubb as the Browns
win their first game since Week 8.
Nick Chubb rushed for 59 yards
and two touchdowns.
Jerry Judy had an outstanding game in the snow.
Six catches on six targets, 85 yards.
And Cleveland improves to three and eight.
And the Steelers fall to eight and three.
The Ravens, y'all better send the Browns,
even though they beat y'all,
they kept y'all attached to the Steelers because now maybe that game
when you guys play in a couple of weeks
will actually mean something for the division. Ocho the Browns really not having a whole lot to play for
but they played their tails off and they take down the Steelers who had an outstanding game last week
as they took down the Ravens on field what 18 to 16 I think was the final score and now they give
up 24 points to the Browns on the road at home.
Steelers are on the road browser at home and they lose 24,
19.
Oh,
Joe,
what'd you like about what you saw this game from the Browns?
I mean,
listen,
from the Browns,
I liked that.
I saw James Winston be able to play with some consistency,
but one,
I want to,
I'm going to shoot.
I want to shout out to my dog,
Jerry Judy,
but I appreciate you,
but you look,
you look good tonight.
You look very, very good tonight.
To be honest with you, the first three quarters of this game,
it was a snooze fest.
It was a snooze fest.
The goddamn Browns were 0 for 6 going into the goddamn fourth quarter
on third down.
It was boring.
I think if it wasn't for the weather conditions,
I think the Steelers would have won the game.
But I'm not taking anything away from the Browns.
But for some reason, there have been multiple games this year.
There have been multiple games this year where the first three quarters of the game is extremely boring and it's not watchable.
It's almost a snooze fest.
And to be honest with you, there was a point in the game tonight where I even fell asleep.
My eyes closed for a little bit.
That's how boring the game was.
For some reason, and I know the exact time, when it got to the fourth quarter and about seven minutes and 35 seconds on the clock all of a sudden the goddamn game is like
the shootout scene from the movie heat like shootout scene for the movie i'm like what the
hell is going on the game got very exciting boom the browns are winning all of a sudden
russell wilson pickens pickens has a big catch they'll go they go down there and score and then the goddamn brown turn around go down and do the exact same thing and it comes down
to the wire and obviously russ on the hail mary pass they couldn't complete it and i mean it was
yeah any any time i said i think that was he that he did boy he got that delayed blitz that came
yeah oh yeah listen the funny thing about it, is despite whatever the team's record are,
whatever the team's records are in the AFC North,
anytime they play a division game,
for some reason, it always goes like this.
It's always close.
It always comes down to the last minute.
It's rarely, very rarely is it ever a blowout
regardless of how bad the teams are playing
or how good the opposing team is playing.
I think the thing is, Ojo, you talk about the games, well, snooze fest,
but you got to realize this team, both of these teams just played Sunday,
and you're turning around again, and you're playing Thursday.
So now you're taking basically two and a half days of rest from them.
You know you, hey, unless you a rookie or a second-year player,
man, your body aches.
Hell, you don't feel good until Wednesday, Thursday.
And you got to go play a game, not practice, as Allen Iverson would,
not practice.
A game.
A game.
And so, look, Miles Garrett took that personal what T.J. Watt said
about he didn't think he deserved.
He had three first-half sacks.
Three sacks.
But I thought they did a great job of getting after Russ.
They did a great job of pressuring Russ. They did a great job of pressuring Russ.
They sacked him four times, three of those by Miles Garrett.
Did a great job jumping off the rock.
Even a couple of times, they tried to chip it.
And that wasn't enough because a guy that size that can bend the edge
is unbelievable.
He's unbelievable quick.
He's powerful.
He can bend.
He can bull rush you. He can swim you. He's powerful. He can bend. He can bull rush you.
He can swim you.
He can rip you.
Wax on, wax off.
I mean, he's the prototype.
You say, man, I want a defensive end.
You want him to look like Miles Garrett.
Because not only does he look like Tarzan, he plays like Tarzan.
Because we've seen a lot of guys, they be built.
Hey, they look the part, but they don't play the part.
He play like James.
So, he looks the part.
He's ever been what they thought when they took him number one overall.
He's been defensive player of the year.
Obviously, T.J. Watt was also in that draft, that 2017 draft,
in which he went 30th overall, and he has a few more sacks.
But both guys have been defensive players of the year.
Both guys have lived up to what everybody thought they would be.
I don't think people thought TJ would be that good,
because they did when they took him at 30th.
They took his ass a lot sooner.
But he's been unbelievable in what he's been able to do.
The only guy in NFL history to lead the league in sacks
in three different years.
There's an outside chance he can do it again,
because you know he could go on a stretch
where he get two or three sacks
and he could do that for like three or four games.
And the next thing you know,
he'd go from like fifth or sixth in sacks
all the way to the lead.
So he's that good.
You know, when I watch the Steelers,
I think sometimes, Ocho,
they play down to their competition.
You watch them when they play against the Ravens.
When you watch them, they play against the Ravens.
You watch them, they play a team that they think can kick their ass.
They come ready to play.
You know what I think?
I think Arthur Smith is playing a safe game.
He's playing a safe game and not putting Russell Wilson
in harm's way, allowing Najee Harris to facilitate
the way the offense goes.
And then Arthur Smith is choosing when to use Russell Wilson to his strengths.
Taking the ball out of his hands, not really allowing him to put the ball in harm's way.
And I think that's one of the reasons for their successes here with this only being their third loss.
It's only being their third loss with the gamble that Mike Tomlin took and replacing Russell Wilson with with um goddamn
Justin Fields everything is paid everything is paid off is paid dividends up until tonight's game
yeah you mean placing Justin Fields with Russell Wilson I'm sorry what did I say you said it
backwards you say but look I know what you meant um you are you meant to say he was uh russell wilson came in in place of justin field oh boy yeah um but it look it's what you think it's an afc it's an afc north game like
you said these teams have gone at it for a long time the new browns the old browns are in baltimore
right now which they happen to be known the ravens but there's really no love lost between these
teams if you go back and look at their in 80s with the cardiac kids with Brian Sight
and Ozzie Newsome
who's that Dave Logan
and then you had
Kevin Mack and Ernest Biner.
You know, you had some matchups.
You had some really great matchups. You had
Hanford Dixon and Frank Minifield.
You had Alba. Look, this
I remember the rivalry and it was
heated. You would think um
kind of started when turkey jones slammed uh uh uh terry brash on his neck and almost broke his
neck turkey who turkey jones go back and look it up uh back there you could suplex a player
i mean you can literally pick him up like they do in WWE or World Wrestling Federation.
But Turkey Jones almost broke Terry Bradshaw's neck.
And it kind of started from that moment on.
It became a very intense rivalry.
But the Steelers, you know, obviously the Steelers have been the king of that division for a long time.
It used to be the AFC Central back then.
It wasn't the North.
And then the Ravens come in.
And for the, you know, the Steelers have goneers have gone to super bowls even though they've lost uh the ravens have gone to what
three two super bowls they want you know one both of those the browns are the browns they
were one of the only teams that haven't been i think the browns the jags uh who else they
haven't been to a super bowl the lions the lions, the Texans. Oh,
Hey,
listen,
there's a good chance of lying.
Go change that.
Oh yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
But,
uh,
but look,
give,
give,
look,
I don't want to take anything away from the Browns because I thought they
played really well last night.
I'm not to last night tonight.
They did a great job of getting after Russell Wilson.
Uh,
for the most part,
they didn't give up a whole lot of yards running the football.
And look,
I can live with 11 carries for 45 yards, 16 carries for 41 yards.
Justin Fields had a longer 30 where he came in and kind of caught him off guard.
But for the most part, they did a great job of bottling the Steelers' offense up.
And Jameis was very good with the ball.
He had one throw that got away from him.
But other than that, I thought he did a really good job
of orchestrating this
offense and moving them up and down the
field. They got a, Tillman,
I don't, Tillman, come on, bro.
Go down. Don't try to be no hero.
Try to split two defenders.
Boom. Helmet right on the ball.
Popped out. Who knows?
They had gotten the rhythm at that point in time.
Joe Cleveland had had a rhythm.
And I think they formed the ball like the 20-yard
line. So you might have gotten points
out of that. You just got to be smart in situations like
that, Ocho.
Hicks, power slam
from Crowe. Now, you know you
can't do that. You know you can't
drive the quarterback in the ground, Ocho. Everybody
knows that. You can barely
put your arms out like this.
I ain't got my body weight on him. But if you
pick him up,
you get the flag.
You got to know
that, though. You got to know it. Especially
with this time and era
in the NFL and the league
policy, wanting to protect the quarterback
as much. I mean, you know
you can, but it also makes it difficult for
defenders of that size as well.
It also makes it difficult for big guys to be
able to control their momentum,
especially when it comes to sacking the quarterback
when you're trying to get there as fast as possible.
But you see what he did on the last bit of the game?
He just hit him. He didn't wrap him up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, and Delphi.
Just thud him up. Just thud him up.
Why'd you smash the man mouthpiece?
So what you think they was going to call?
You right there with the back judge sitting right there.
Ocho, you know you can't do that.
There's a back judge and a side judge looking right at you
because you're the only two of the guys out there.
The back judge is standing right there.
He's looking at you just like this here.
And watch you smash the man mouthpiece and throw it on the ground.
Come on, bro.
And sometimes people wonder why teams lose.
Sometimes it's not talent.
Sometimes players do dumb things that put them in harm's way.
And at the wrong time, too.
Yes.
The wrong time.
But kudos, kudos, kudos to the Browns.
They win the ball game.
They move to 3-8.
24-19 win over the Steelers, who fall to 8-3.
Miles Garrett and T.J. Watt did a little talking this week in February.
Garrett took home his first defensive player of the year award,
posted nothing I'm used to on social media.
Watt posted nothing I'm used to.
I'm not used to on social media.
Garrett told reporters this week, no, he didn't say nothing to me.
He got to apologize to me when I see him.
I've never complained about the trophy
not being at my house and vice versa.
He shouldn't be feeling two ways about it going to me.
So I'm just going to go play the game.
I don't play against TJ.
He doesn't play against me.
I like that.
Nice, healthy,
nice, nice,
nice,
healthy verbal quarrel between two elite players at their position.
Um,
I mean,
he's probably not going to apologize.
I mean,
that's,
that's not going to happen.
I believe I should have won the award.
I ain't apologizing for feeling like I should have won the award.
Hell nah.
Yeah.
I think,
um,
probably some words might've been exchanged after the game but the one
thing i want to i know i know we're on we're talking about miles garrett and goddamn tj what
but i'm curious i want to hear the quotes after this win in the comments from james winston that's
what i want to hear oh you want to hear what he oh listen ain't no telling what he said ain't no
telling what he said especially after a win like this right in those conditions man ain't man listen it it's it's gonna be so many quotables probably gonna be rap
lyrics some shit some shit from shakespeare it's gonna be something good i can't wait to hear it
i think the thing is that look if you play this game long enough tj you're gonna get robbed you
gonna something there everybody has been robbed.
Somebody didn't get an opportunity to go to the Pro Bowl.
They feel that they should have gone to the Pro Bowl.
Somebody felt they should have been an all-pro.
They didn't get to go.
Somebody feels they should have won an MVP, an Offensive Player of the Year,
or a Defensive Player of the Year, a Rookie of the Year, or something.
If you play this game long enough and you're a good player,
and I know TJj was thinking like bro
bro i led the league in sacks by by why by ways look at our defense we were good it wasn't like
you know i understand i think cleveland was number one in past defense they had a very top defense
also but yeah tj was like bro i led the league in sacks it wasn't like we were a bottom feeder
defense like team was just going up and down the field on us so hold on what's that he felt a couple years ago when i think when aaron donald won his third he and his brother
had something to say think that's the defensive player of the year should have gone to uh tj
and i get it hey i'm a ride if i'm if i'm jj i'm a ride with my brother too um jj has three awards
tj has one tj feels that he should have more of those awards.
But unfortunately, bro, you don't get to vote for yourself.
But if you play long enough, because there are times that I know I should have been to the Pro Bowl.
There ain't no question in my damn mind.
My team won more games.
I had more catches, more yards, more touchdowns,
and they put somebody else in there.
Yeah.
It happens.
After the game, Miles Garrett had a message to TJ Watt.
I'm number one.
I'm one.
I'm home.
I'm the defensive player of the year.
Wait, for real?
I'm number one.
I'm one.
I'm home.
I'm the defensive player of the year.
Run, tell that.
I like that.
I like that. I like that.
There's nothing, hey, listen,
there's nothing wrong with a little healthy,
what was the word I'm looking for?
A little healthy competition?
Nothing wrong with a little healthy competition.
But it's hard, Ocho,
because they don't play against each other.
It's kind of like you.
I mean, you're not playing against me.
I need you to talk about, I need you to talk about i need you to talk about like a just trend or like you're going against the dbs
but we haven't seen none like this though no no this that don't that that don't really see eye to
eye on who the better player is based on rewards that are given yeah for the the best i i like it
it's different because i have i listen I played, I didn't like it.
Yeah. Me, this is healthy.
I want to see how they finish the season
off. This is great.
This is great to me.
I just had a simple rule for our guys.
Don't y'all let no tight end come in here
and show me up.
And water, Romo,
Mo,
don't y'all let no tight end come in and show me up. Ann Water, Romo, Mo, John Mo.
Don't y'all let no tight end come in and show me up.
Right, right, right.
Gonzo, because Gates was – I think he was on the practice squad my first year,
so I didn't get a chance to play with Gates my last year.
He was on the roster, but I don't think he played much.
But, you know, we played all these other tight ends.
We played – who we played?
Jay Novacek.
We played Brent Jones. We played Ben Coles.
We played, hey, Gonzo.
Don't y'all let them guys show me up.
That's on you.
Y'all practice against me all the time.
If y'all be doing all that
stuff against me, knock
pass down against him too.
Hey, I don't get y'all that great work
now.
I don't get y'all that great work now. I don't get y'all that great work during the week.
Don't come up here tonight, that man go for 10,
pull a buck, 22 touchdowns, and lose the game.
And here I am on the field looking crazy.
Mm-hmm.
Because I remember that when I hit them boys up at 214.
You know Gonzo was on the other sideline, Ocho.
Ooh.
214?
Mm, get Kansas City. Any of that? sideline, Ocho. 2014?
Get Kansas City.
In his house.
Y'all was home or awake?
I was in his house.
Okay.
In his house.
Had my feet up on his couch.
Shoes muddy, too.
That's what I do. I have a huge muddy.
I ain't no clean yet.
Because I won't after a couple days.
I'm like, fish, I start to smell.
You got to throw my ass up out of there.
Yeah, yeah, you know I've been there.
Yep, yep.
Yeah, for sure.
Oh, man.
Because even though we don't say it, it's kind of like,
Ocho, we're like you on the treadmill.
Yeah.
Oh, we competing.
Oh, what you at?
You at 4.5?
Damn it, I'm going to 5. Yeah. Oh, you at 4.5 damn it i'm going to five yeah oh you at 5.5 i'm going to six oh we competing you ain't got to say nothing because why you bring your ass
right next to me that treadmill over there was open so you brought your ass to me we competing
yeah before you know it we both are the full sprint whoeverhmm. Whoever give out first.
I really, really, really enjoy the back and forth between the two.
You know, two of the best players in the league that feel they're worthy of being the MVP.
For sure.
Yeah.
Defense MVP.
I like it.
I like it.
I think it's healthy.
It creates a debate.
It gets, you know, for those of us that are on the the other side of the media it gives us something to talk about because the numbers i'm not going to say
they're they're identical but these two players are so good at their respective craft it means so
much to their defenses that is worthy of having a talk and debate about because you know why ojo
they're the same draft class.
You know anytime two players,
even though one's a defensive end,
the other is an outside linebacker,
they do the same thing.
So there's always going to be competition.
When two quarterbacks come out in the same draft class,
Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels,
they're linked forever.
Everybody that came out in that 83 draft class,
Elway, Marino, Kelly, all those,
Easton, who else was in that draft class?
Danielson.
They linked.
It is what it is, don't you?
I don't think it ruins.
They're always going to be compared to each other.
Absolutely.
Always.
So it is what it is. 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.

It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know.
As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity.
There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports
figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan
found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency.
Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm going to ask Attorney General...
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra,
you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Daniel Jones seemed to say goodbye, Ocho, to the Giants and their fans in today's statement to the media.
And according to Jordan Schultz, there is disappointment among some Giant players
regarding how Daniel Jones' situation was handled over the past week,
especially with players aware it's primarily a financial decision by the organization.
Dexter Lawrence publicly stated on Tuesday,
He's quarterback one to me. To me, he's the best quarterback on the team.
One offensive player told Schultz over the phone, we're not
idiots. They did it because of money.
So be it. But Daniel Jones has been
all class, never complained, and
is not being completely disregarded.
The team record is bad. You can point
fingers everywhere. Try to blame him
is trash, and making him third string
is weak as F.
The sense versus the organization within the organization go far beyond just one
person. I love it. Listen, I love what the players are
saying. Yeah, yeah. Obviously because they're on the team.
But your team, for anybody, if they don't know, even though you are playing the game
of football, you're only good as your quarterback. You're only as good as the person who's at the helm
who's in control of the offense, being able to make the right,
the right and the wrong decisions.
I mean, that's just what it is.
You know, I respect Dexter Lawrence and what he's having to say
and some other players being upset.
But how can you be upset?
Have you watched David Jones play the past three years?
Oh, y'all got so much to say now, Ocho.
Why don't y'all play better?
Now everybody got a lot to say.
Listen.
You're talking your ass off now.
What about play your ass off?
Right.
Daniel Jones, you play better.
Everybody that got a comment, play better.
And let's see what would have happened.
Well, listen, Dexter Lawrence playing his ass off, though.
So we really can't say nothing about him.
He's one of the best in the league,
but they have to understand the business. they have to understand the nature of the business
especially when it comes to the money aspect of why they're why they're benching him and making
him third string quarterback so because of that injury clause if he happens to get hurt because
which which he probably would do if they do allow him to stay in there you know some type of injury
will pop up out of nowhere yeah that's a 23 million. Yeah. But, but here's the thing on show.
So y'all make it seem it's about just this year. What about last year?
Yeah. How was he last year? Okay. He got hurt,
but look at his body of work.
His body of work doesn't justify 40 million and it definitely doesn't justify
running the risk. It wasn't like y'all going anywhere. Anyway,
y'all make it seem like they benched a man like they did Russell Wilson last year.
Y'all trash.
Okay, trash is a very harsh word.
Y'all sanitation.
Y'all a landfill.
So where you going?
Oh, Cho, they make it seem like they had a chance for the playoffs
if they had left Daniel Jones in there.
All Daniel Jones is going to do is look worse and worse and worse.
The fans are probably already stopped showing up.
But what am I getting out of this?
Daniel Jones is not going to be in New York next year.
So what am I getting out of that?
I'm not winning.
He's not going to be there.
So what do I get by leaving his ass in the game and continue to start for us, Ocho?
Yeah, nothing.
You're not getting anything.
I got a question, though.
I'm confused.
Anytime that players get benched, is it normal for quarterbacks to apologize?
No.
What are you apologizing for?
You could have played better.
Yeah, I don't know if I've quite seen that.
I've quite seen that before.
Or is it because it's in New York?
So it's a little different.
You know, I respect what he had to say.
I respect what he had to say as far as, you know, being grateful for the opportunity.
But, like, come on, man.
Bro, these guys mean, come on, man.
Look, this is pro sports.
And there's only two things you can get.
Wins and losses.
That's it.
That's how you judge.
He's lost more than he's won.
Okay.
They say, well, it's not all the quarterback.
Well, who's the mofo that gets the credit when they win?
They ain't mention no offensive lineman.
They're not mentioning Dexter Lawrence.
They're not mentioning the linebackers.
Who they mention?
The quarterback.
So the problem that I got is that a lot of times people are like,
well, it's a team game, but y'all blame the quarterback.
Here's the thing.
When you like somebody, it's a team game.
When you don't, it's not.
It's really that simple.
You and I played this game long enough to understand how the dynamic of it
worked.
Yeah,
most definitely.
I don't care how good in today's game.
You can't put a team,
a great enough team around.
If your quarterback stinks.
Yeah.
Back.
You could,
before they changed all these rules,
you can run the football.
You can play outstanding defense and you can hide your quarterback. You can run the football, you can play outstanding defense, and you can hide your quarterback.
You can no longer hide him. He's the only
position that you cannot hide anymore.
Because if you got a weak corner, Ocho, I'll play
cover too. I roll coverage his way.
I can help him.
If I got a weak offensive line,
I can just slide protection, or I can tell
the back, chip your way out.
If I got a terrible quarterback, what
the hell am I going to do? Hand them all off
65 times?
You can't hide it. Not in this game.
Not in this past.
No, absolutely not.
You're going to get exposed.
And the thing that I love most about sports,
especially NFL, you got to
update your resume. Them people don't
give a damn what you've done in the past.
Last year. Yeah.
What they got to do right now.
He's a Superbowl champ and he won the MVP.
And yeah,
what are you doing right now?
Those trophies are on his mantle.
Those awards are on his mantle.
Those accolades is on his resume.
What does that got to do with right now?
What nightcap did in 2023? Ain that got to do with right now? What Nightcap did in 2023
ain't got ish to do with 24.
And 24 ain't going to have ish to do with 25.
We've got to keep getting better.
And we're going to keep the hammer down
getting better.
Better graphics, better editing, better social.
We're going to get better at everything.
That's what we do.
And if we don't, I'm going to need to know why we're not get better at everything that's what we do and if we don't I'm gonna need
to know why we're not getting better
right
and I don't like to ask questions
I really don't
yeah we ain't asking
shit
nah
I'm not a guy that let me ask questions
because by the time I come to let me ask questions because
by the time I come to you to ask the question
I already know the answer
oh yeah
Drew Laws
also questioned not being named quarterback one
for the Giants that's a question that I
still have
for myself it was expressed to me
that that was going to be number two. Interesting situation.
So let me get this straight. You're quarterback
two. Quarterback one
gets benched. Quarterback three
pulls on you with no
play. And now you're still
quarterback two, even though quarterback one
got benched.
And it's so bad
that they moved Daniel Jones to quarterback four and brought a guy for the practice squad.
And put in made him three.
Hold on.
I'm confused.
If you were good enough and adequate enough at the helm where they feel you could be a leader of men and quarterback the
helm of the New York Giants, then you would have been one from the beginning, from the get-go.
Or you would have been one at the previous team you were at before. But obviously, before you got
to the Giants, you weren't good enough to play there. So what makes you think you're good enough
to start the goddamn New York Giants? At some point as a player also reality has to set in
and you have to say to yourself,
I'm not good enough to be a starter, but I
can be a very, very good backup
quarterback.
I hope you don't think Tommy DeVito's
a starter.
I mean...
Yeah, I do mean, yeah, I would've known.
You don't talk about
Tommy, Tommy Cutlass
Tommy two times and Tommy DeVito
like that he might not be a starter
but he might be a spark he might bring some type
of excitement to you he's a dual threat quarterback
I'm not saying he's the best quarterback in the goddamn league
he can run the ball he can throw the ball
good enough
to make it exciting
to end this goddamn season
I'm putting Tommy DeVito in to make sure I don't win.
I'm trying to secure my draft position,
and I'm not going to have him monk it up.
I like that.
That's what I'm going to do.
You know who's going there?
Want me to tell you?
Nah, time ain't going there.
We ain't going there.
Oh, I know who's going though
man yeah bad plea that's what the giant said the giants is not if if oh joe if i've already
benched quarterback number one i felt he gave me the best chance to win after i remove him i don't
want any chance to win right i'm putting the guy that gives me the least chance to win after i remove him i don't want any chance to win right i'm putting the guy that
gives me the least chance to winning so we just want to secure we just want to secure that goddamn
i'm trying to get the best grab spot i can possibly get and i know dr uh tommy devito
helps insurers that you gotta believe you gotta believe in your italian baby believe in your DeVito helps and assures that.
You gotta believe in your Italian,
baby. Believe in your Italian. He can believe it all he wants to.
If the Cowboys' Monday night
meltdown wasn't bad enough, C.D.
Lamb and Trayvon Diggs
just added gasoline to the fire.
Hours after a crushing blow added gasoline to the fire. Hours after
a crushing blowout loss to the Houston
Texans, Trayvon and CD
went to the club to film a music
video. Dallas TV shared the clip
of the Duval on Twitter, sparking
outrage. One fan didn't mince
word. That's why y'all suck.
Another touch to culture.
Dallas Cowboys are not a serious football
team. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
We're not going to do that right now.
We're not going to do that right now.
Because every time I try to send you, Ocho tell y'all, man, let them boys have fun.
Let them boys do what they want to do in their off time.
Ocho, how do you feel about this?
I mean, when you're losing, I mean, I'm just me, my perspective.
If we lose like that during my time when I was in Cincinnati and we were losing,
like, I don't go out no way, so it's hard.
I'm just, hypothetically speaking.
I wouldn't be out.
I wouldn't be out.
But again, after losing the way they've been losing this season,
I think, you know, them boys might have felt like, man, forget that, man.
We getting our ass whooped.
I need to go find a different outlet outside of football, and I'm going to
the goddamn club. Now, it's hard for
us. Now, Unc, the way you think, I know how you
think. Unc, you know how I think. No, I think about winning.
I don't go nowhere, no way. But as far
as we can't control what other players do
outside of the game of football,
on how they want to spend their free time.
Chet, that's why y'all Cowboys suck.
Because two of your best players, this is what
they're doing. That shows you how much the game of football means to them.
That's it.
Told me everything I need to know.
Yeah.
All I got to do.
I see better than I hear.
Now, I heard what CD said.
Yes, sir.
Trayvon doesn't do a whole lot of talking.
I hear what Michael said.
But my grandfather used to always tell my brother and I,
he said, I see better than I hear.
Yeah. I heard what y'all told me,
but I know I see that trash still in the
corner when I told y'all to take it out.
Everybody talks about winning,
but do you take the steps in order to win?
How is partying?
You got your ass kicked.
I would have left the stadium
with a bag over my head.
Ain't no way y'all see me leave your stadium.
After I got beat like that, after I've gotten beat like that every game,
47-9, 37-10, 48-32, a yada and a partridge in a pear tree,
and you do this?
It's disrespectful.
It is disrespectful to the fans that pay
their hard-earned money. But you
know what? It couldn't happen to a better franchise
because all they ought to do is run his
mouth and talk about what they're going to do
and this team, I've been around
Super Bowl teams and this and that
and all they players do because they
take it from the top. They run their mouth
and they ain't one dog
crap. None of them.
No dog shit.
You can say it.
It's okay.
Not one.
Hey, I got a question.
And they talk about, they know what it takes.
You don't know what it takes to win because none of you guys have won.
It is disgusting.
It's disappointing that these two are your best players.
This is what they think.
See, just goes to show you.
See, everybody, see, everybody tells you what they think. See, Jeff, she goes to show you.
See, everybody tells you what they think you want to hear.
Yeah.
But I see what I need to know.
And it tells me everything I need to know.
You can't convince me these guys care about winning because this is not what you do when you want to win.
So what's in the club that's going to help you get better?
Take your ass home and start the recovery
process.
This is why I couldn't play in today's
time. Because guys, I don't
care what they say. Guys,
most, a lot, don't care about
winning. They like the bag.
They like what comes along with being an NFL
player. You're going to get the baddest women.
You're going to get to go to the clubs.
You get to move to the front of the line.
You get to go all these places.
But everything, our brand, my brand, the Cowboys is the brand.
Ain't one player on that team got a damn brand because you ain't won nothing
because you don't care about winning.
You ain't got no leadership.
That's your number one problem.
Who's the leader?
I'll wait for you to tell problem. Who's the leader? I'll wait for you to tell me.
Who's the leader?
Is it Dak?
Is it Micah?
Is it Diggs?
Is it CeeDee?
Who is the leader of that team, Mocho?
Quarterback.
You lying to me.
Ain't no way. Ain't no way way that's what you get they got no leaders Ocho that is the problem that the Cowboys have they're devoid of leaders they're devoid of leadership from top to bottom
the only isn't a leader he thinks because he he's worth $16 billion. He thinks because
he has a TV show. He's the only
owner, the only GM that really has
a TV show. He thinks that makes him a
leader.
Little does he know they don't
pay him no attention.
Mike McCarthy is not a leader because
they know he's been emasculated from the day
he arrived. He has no...
All he is is a coach arrived. He has no... All he is is a coach
entitled. He has no powers.
He's Batman without his belt.
What the F could Batman do without
that belt?
Come on, preacher.
He's Superman with kryptonite.
Nothing.
Boy, it's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing.
You couldn't do this on your off day.
I'd have been pissed off if you did it on Tuesday.
But at least you got a little like, hey, it's my off day.
You lost the game and you took your no good for nothing asses out and shot a video?
Damn. Tokyo no good for nothing asses out and shot a video. Damn everything I need to know.
That's why I see.
That's why they all.
You know what?
I know I was never the best player ever,
and I'm never going to say that,
but I tell you one thing I can tell you.
I know what it takes to win,
and I know the sacrifice and the dedication and determination.
Them guys don't know nothing about that.
Them guys just talk.
They run their mouth.
And they've been well compensated for it.
Because what guys look at today, if I make the bag, that means I'm good.
The hell you not.
That's why you see my calls.
Everybody got a my calls, Cleet Ocho.
I remember when we played, you had to be a dog to get a damn cleat.
Now guys got patent leather cleat.
They got fur.
They got diamonds on the cleat.
I said, bro, how'd you get a cleat?
You on special teams.
Why do you got a cleat?
I don't want to.
Boy, look here.
There's not one player, and I want to be crystal clear,
and I want to be abundantly clear.
Yeah.
And I say this, in the strongest, the most sincerest,
I wouldn't want to play with one player on the Dallas Cowboys.
One.
Damn, huh?
Not one.
I would have told Zach Martin two years ago but Zach Martin
is beat to hell all the rest of
them you can keep
every look
oh you don't
want to play with that
not one They don't want to win, Ocho.
Yes, sir.
They want to talk about winning.
They want to have talk shows.
They want to have podcasts.
They want to talk about stuff.
Some people talk about it.
Some people be about it.
And some people do what it takes in order to win.
You can't win like that.
You can't win with them.
Jerry, you're going to have to make a decision.
Because you got a bunch of guys that just happen to be collecting big ass checks.
But you don't have one leader.
You have a guy that can call a meeting, but ain't
nobody paying a damn attention to a word he's
effing saying.
Because that's what they think about him. Because
everybody got their own agenda.
That's the problem.
Michael Parsons
apologizes for Mike McCarthy comment.
When I'm talking
about here, I'm thinking about the Dallas Cowboys.
I have no reference.
I was in the middle school, elementary school,
and Mike McCarthy was a Packer.
See what I'm saying?
Not a student of the game.
Most players are historians of the game.
The really good ones, ask T.J. Watt about the defensive player.
Ask T.J. Watt about the history of the game.
Moving forward.
Mike McCarthy was with the Packers.
I have no reference to that
wow i wouldn't even say that you see remember we talked about anthony richardson and how he
should have said certain things right see if you keep your mouth closed people won't know what you
don't know but when you open your mouth you remove all doubt i have no reference so obviously no
disrespect to his career and what he made for himself
is winning his coaches.
I could have done better.
But I thought you didn't say anything.
Who apologizes for nothing, Ocho?
Is that what you do?
You're coming back because of the backlash
on what he said.
The context of what you said.
But if you're right, I'm standing on it.
Okay.
And you're standing on it too. You ain't apologizing when Ocho's right. Hell, you don't want to apologize when you're right, I'm standing on it. Okay. And you're standing on it, too.
You ain't apologizing when Ochoa's right.
Hell, you don't want to apologize when you're wrong.
So I don't damn well, GD, well, you ain't apologizing when you're right.
But anyway, let me continue this.
I think people would take that out of context, okay?
They took it how you said it.
I wanted to hurry up out of the locker room.
Next time, I'll be very careful about what I say.
So that's my apologies.
What'd you think about that?
You should have kept his mouth closed, huh?
We never knew what he didn't know.
You don't know what you don't know.
And people don't know what you don't know. And people don't know what you don't know.
Yeah.
Till you open your mouth.
And then you remove all doubt whether or not they know what you know.
Right.
That's the part.
You see, I was heard out of the locker room.
Two things that can never be taken back.
Words spoken and deeds done.
Be careful what you say.
Be careful how you treat people.
Right.
I'm done.
At some point in time, Ochoa, we got to stop using excuses.
Oh, he young.
He young.
He ain't no better.
25 is young?
He ain't too young to cash that check.
I just this is like
most of the time also as well
I mean the players especially those that have
podcasts those that
like to talk especially to the media
obviously being a part of the Cowboys you know
anything you say is
magnified because of the star on your helmet
you gotta be a little bit more careful, a little bit more media savvy.
Everybody's not media savvy.
Why you got to podcast then if you're not media savvy?
You're in the media.
You're held to the same standard.
You fake reckless, you become reckless.
Yeah.
What if a media member said, I don't know who that player was
you would eat his ass up
it's your job to know
it's embarrassing
these kids
these young men they're not kids
these grown ass men
they're kids masquerading
as grown men
and it's embarrassing
they don't realize how embarrassing it is
I just wish guys
I just wish these players today
some of them not all there's no such thing as all there's no such thing as every but a lot wish these players today, some of them, not all. There's no such thing as all.
There's no such thing as every.
But a lot of these players, Ocho, they fooling the fans
because we get up here and they talk about what they want to do
and I just want to win.
You want to win, but you want to get your numbers.
You want to win, but you want to get your stats.
Sometimes winning requires you not to do that. And it's okay
because at the end of the day,
who doesn't?
Ocho?
But we won. How do I go
in good conscience and complain
about not getting targets and catches
and we won the game?
So is it about
my numbers or is it about wins?
I just know what it takes to win without a best player am I the best player no I just know what it takes to win everything that I told you everything that I've said
y'all come back oh oh you don't know but that Joel Embiid situation
I told y'all a lot of stuff told y'all about AB
y'all oh no no let that man
free now look at you
why ain't nobody offering a man ain't no job
y'all was gassing them up y'all put a battery in his back
do or sell
it was a rechargeable battery and y'all kept it
plugged up
all I want to do I'm not into anything Ocho that I can't win at all kept it plugged up.
All I want to do is I'm not into anything,
Ocho, that I can't win at.
That's why I don't do a whole lot.
I'm going to be great
at what I do. I don't want to be good
at a whole lot of ish.
I want to be great at a few things.
That's it.
Some people are born great. some people have greatness thrust upon them
it doesn't matter which one
you fall under
what do you do with the greatness
Theodore Roosevelt
it's embarrassing
cowboy y'all are just...
Damn.
Hopefully we'd be done with it.

Cliff Kingsbury and Robert Sala
as possible head coach replacement
why you talking about head coach replacements
in the middle of the season
why you surprised
by this
did somebody put that actually came from Jerry Jones surprised by this?
Did somebody put that actually came from Jerry Jones?
Didn't we
talk about this? When stuff come out,
it's coming from somewhere?
Oh, I see you going with it.
You playing the seed early, huh?
Mike McCarthy knew when he didn't get a contract
extension, he was dead man walking.
Yeah, unless they were winning.
I don't believe, the only way he could have saved his job,
he had to go deep.
12 and 5 wasn't going to do it because he had went 12 and 5
the previous three years.
And he still hadn't got a contract extension in his fourth year.
Bang. bang cowboy
versus the jazz
go ahead don't you
I was finna say
it started
all the problems
all the issues
why
why folks feel
comfortable being able to do
what they're doing
in offseason?
I mean, during season, on Mondays, after games.
Well, hell, the owner acting fool himself.
You know why they do what they do, Ocho?
Because Jerry don't take it serious when he bringing people trotting through there
during the week.
He make it like a zoo.
So they say, you know what, Hell, we're in the circle.
Let's clown too.
So they do what they want to do also.
You take it serious.
We take it serious.
Cowboy versus Giants Thanksgiving game prices
at lowest $25.
This is what will get his attention.
This is what'll get his attention.
Wait, say it again?
Cowboy Giants Thanksgiving day game tickets as low as $25.
That's what'll get his attention, Ocho.
You got to tell you got to touch them pockets, huh?
Yeah.
You touch them pockets, that'll get anybody's attention now. What got their attention? What got Tustin Pockets, huh? Yeah! Tustin Pockets, they didn't get anybody's attention
now. What got their
attention? What got their attention with the Kaepernick?
Advertising sponsors say, hey,
we gonna take this money.
Hey, y'all gonna have to stand up.
Hey, they started playing that
Luda song in all the arenas. Stand up!
They don't play about that money, boy. That's that bottom line.
That's
how y'all fans get Jerry's attention.
See, y'all be talking about y'all mad at Jerry.
Jerry need to step down, and y'all still playing
three, four hundred, five hundred dollars for tickets.
What?
Do that.
Y'all still selling out the building.
Jerry don't hear y'all.
When it comes,
billionaires understand one thing,
capital, money.
When stock prices drop,
that's when the shareholders
start raising hell.
That's when the board make decisions.
That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, Cho.
Yeah.
We had this conversation.
Well, let me go here.
The Jets are a certified disaster
and they got messier today.
The day began with the team
firing general manager Joe Douglas,
which was not exactly a surprise.
Douglas was 30 and 64
during the Jets tenure
and never snipped the playoffs.
The juicy of all was Woody Johnson
wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers
just four weeks into the season
in favor of Tyrod Taylor.
The coaches present in the meeting
were stunned, according to our report,
and rightfully so.
Johnson backed off,
but fired Robert Sala a week later.
Fired Robert Sala, Demoted Nathaniel Hackett.
Now, I ask you, who was next?
Right.
See, Green Bay got smart.
Green Bay said, hell, y'all,
you ain't finna get me up out of here.
Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekes
and Mark Murphy.
Hold on.
Woody Johnson wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers
in week four for Tyrod Taylor, right?
Yep.
So the elephant in the room who always been the problem.
So you're doing all this firing where you're not getting,
putting the right person in the place that needs to be.
Well, how you going to bench?
I ain't never seen nobody bench a quarterback that make that kind of money either.
If it was left up to Woody Johnson, he would have.
He would have, yeah.
So now Joe Douglas gone.
But you, Woody, you do realize they use your jet to go fly to see Aaron Rodgers.
You do realize you signed off on all this.
So where's your culpability in any of this?
Right.
But you know, he can't fly himself.
But also, they're expecting to get the Aaron Rodgers to bowl.
They're expecting to get the Aaron Rodgers.
They got an old Aaron Rodgers.
Bro, everybody ain't going to be.
So you thought they was going to turn right around
after Tom Brady did what he did.
You thought so soon right after that,
another guy was going to do that?
What allowed Brady to play as long as he did
and as well as he had no major injury
after he suffered that ACL injury?
That was in 2008.
So up until that, he had no injuries.
He had no hamstrings.
He had no injuries that really caused him to miss time.
Yeah.
Aaron Rodgers was coming off one of the most serious injuries a player in sports can suffer.
The Achilles injury.
Plus, he's 40.
You know, I don't think he takes the game as serious as Tom as well.
Of course not.
He never has.
Two totally different types of quarterbacks,
especially when it comes to their approach to the game
and the seriousness of it and the way they take it.
So I could understand if you're coming off an injury like that
and you already don't take it serious, you do what you need to do to get back
and good graciousness and health to play, but your approach is still wrong
because everything you do talk about when you're on TV,
it has nothing to do with the game of football.
Nothing.
Oh, you finally realized that, huh?
Yeah, I said it before. I just don't understand. Every time he speaks, it never has anything to do with damn football. Nothing. Oh, you finally realized that, huh? Yeah, I said it before. I just
don't understand. Every time he speaks, it never
has anything to do with damn football.
No. There's always some shit I gotta look up in the goddamn
dictionary or on the goddamn
computer. He's talking about going into the dark
and he's talking about these trips
and he's talking about this and talking about that.
Nothing about building
team camaraderie, building team chemistry.
Yeah.
And when he could have been he could have been doing that he was in Egypt
talking about a trip everybody know
with that mandatory minicamp you don't plan nothing around
that Ocho because that's the one that you got to
be at
oh let me
everybody that understands what the word
mandatory means
has to be there.
But what he failed to realize, what he did in Green Bay,
ain't got nothing to do.
They want to see what you're going to do for the Jets.
You heard Tom, I said it when I went to Baltimore.
Them Pro Bowls, those All Pros, those Super Bowls,
that ain't got, I've done nothing in Baltimore.
I've got to come in, work my ass off to let them see how I became the player I became while I was there.
Peyton said it.
Tom so eloquently laid it out.
He's like, what I accomplished in New England got to do with Tampa?
Tom getting his teammates, hey, let's go to the park.
It's in COVID. We ain't supposed to be in the park we're gonna make them throw our ass out they getting thrown out of high school
fields that shit was funny Peyton getting his guys together he getting he grabbed up Julius
and Decker and and and Julius Thomas and no Sean hey let's, guys. I think Stokely was there at the time.
Or Welker.
Let's go, hey, let's go throw.
Let's build up some chemistry.
Let's build up a bond.
Let's get to know.
Let me tell you where I want to throw the foot. You tell me where you want the ball,
and let me tell you what I'm looking for on this route.
Mm-hmm.
Nah, let me go over to Egypt.
I've already got this trip planned.
Hey, so it is what it is.
If I'm the Jets,
I need somebody to explain to me why would I want Aaron Rodgers back?
Next year?
Yes.
Oof.
If Aaron Rodgers is not done done if he's not done he said he signed he signed two years didn't he
on i think he has another year left on that contract okay he signed three okay but for what
right why do i want tell me tell me why do i want him mo Mocho? What am I getting? A 41-year-old that's a year older than what he is now?
So what, he's going to gain speed?
He's going to get faster?
Mm-mm.
You know what?
A better question is, if you don't want him next year,
what's your next option?
What's your next viable option where you can compete
and you can continue?
Can I compete with Aaron Rodgers? You're telling me what I can't do without him. what's your next viable option where you can compete and you can continue
can I compete with Aaron Rodgers
you're telling me what I can't do without him
what can I do with him
so tell me what can I do with him
because I can be 3-8 without him
and save 50 million
yeah
hell you in last place in the division
if you finish last place
in the division with him I can't finish in last place in the division. If you finish last place in the division with him,
I can't finish in last place
in the division without him?
Yeah.
But hey,
you understand
and you know how difficult
that position is,
how difficult it is
to find a quarterback
for that position.
You know that.
Yes.
Have they found one?
They got one in the position now.
Have they found a quarterback
for that position?
It's been a long, when's the last time they had one?
Think about that.
He's been there two years.
That's an even better question.
We're going to disregard that.
Yeah.
Do they got a quarterback right now?
Nah.
Take Rodgers off the back of the jersey.
You bringing that guy back next year?
Nah.
And if he does get the grace to come back next year,
it's because of what he's done in the past.
If he does get the grace to come back next year,
it's based off what he's done in the past.
Of course, absolutely.
Oh, he's going to get some grace based on that alone.
Grace don't win your game.
Despite having a similar
loss record, Devontae Adams said things
with the Jets are much different than when they were the Raiders.
Look at the situation I was in Vegas
and look at the situation I'm here.
At least I feel hopeful that we'll
have a good performance.
I'm confused.
So,
as long as you have a good performance, but you lose, you cool.
Ocho, did I read that wrong?
Ocho, I wish I could have this up in your thing.
He says, look at the situation I was in in Vegas.
You look at the situation I'm in here.
At least I feel hopeful
that we'll be able to have a good performance.
At least here, I think we'll be able to have a good performance. At least here, I think we'll be able to win.
Did I miss something that I asked?
Did you leave out win?
So there's no win in that, just a good performance.
I'm going to read it again because maybe you can find win in this.
Look at the situation I was in in Vegas. And you look at the situation I'm going to read it again because maybe you can figure out why I'm winning this. Look at the situation I was in in Vegas and you look at
the situation I'm in here. At least
I feel hopeful that we'll be able
to have a good performance.
Yeah, I think
the wording, the wording, the wording is wrong the the wording and the way he said what
he's trying to say is wrong how you trying to well how you trying to you tell me all the time
why are you trying to put words in my mouth why are you trying to tell me what i'm trying to say
you're doing that for davante so now you're gonna tell a man what he meant to say
even though he said it i No, I'm just saying.
He said, we
have to perform
good. He's speaking
we. At least I hope we'll be
able to have a good performance.
He's talking about offensively, we.
That's why he said we.
What's the
Jets record?
3-8.
You heard me on?
3-8.
What's the Las Vegas record?
3-8, 2-8.
3-8, 2-8.
Hey,
you here tonight, boy.
Man, they got him bad.
Hey. Hey, you here him, man. Hey.
Hey, what are you doing here all the night, boy?
