We greatly appreciate that, your support. Ocho, the game that, it was football. It wasn't a whole lot. It left a lot to be desired. The Cowboys beat division rival
Starting point is 00:06:25 giants 20 to 15 the the cowboys improved to two and two while the giants fall to one and three again the cowboys win 20 to 15 that 22 of 27 221 two touchdowns zero interceptions they ran the ball they had 80 yards on 23 carries so there's nothing to write home about Ocho. Let's not get over excited. The Giants, Daniel Jones was 29 of 40, 281. He had an interception at the end of the ball game. Didn't really matter. They had 24 attempts for 26 yards, Ocho. But Ocho, when I look at this game, there are like three throws.
Starting point is 00:07:02 If that's another other another quarterback the giants probably win this game oh the one that had neighbors neighbors ran a tremendous route had digs beat and he was behind yeah and he hung the ball up they knock it down he has slayton on the right yes against the against and and oh so you remember they had remember, they had an in. And people were like, well, he should have caught the ball. But I'm not getting into it with people that never caught the ball for a living. So you and I are about to have a conversation. Like, when I put my foot in the dirt and I'm driving directly back to the quarterback, I'm expecting the ball to be here.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Or if it's low, I can get my body on top of it. If he throws it outside of my body, if it's high, I'm expecting the ball to be right between my numbers or my eyes. I can catch it like this. If it's high and outside, I can do that. When he throws it low and outside, now I got to die for it. If the ball doesn't hit my hand, it's probably going to hit here. And if it hits any part of this, it's gone.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's gone. It's going to get away from you every time. And that's what I'm trying to explain. Yes. And if he gets pressure, I can understand if Daniel Jones had pressure. Right. But he had no pressure on that. He has to step and deliver the ball.
Starting point is 00:08:17 It's two or three throws in this game that got away from him. That's the difference because they're not good enough right now, Ocho, to overcome those types of mistakes, those kind of miscues. If you're like, you know, you're Kansas City, you're one of these better teams, you could overcome
Starting point is 00:08:32 something like that. But as you go along and you play better teams, even then you won't be able to overcome it. But people don't understand. People think, well, here's his hands.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Bro, stop it. Stop it. It's just not. I know y'all have heard and everybody says, if it hits your hands, you hit his hands. Bro, stop it. Stop it. It's just not. I know y'all have heard and everybody says if it hits your hands, you should catch it. Well, if you didn't catch balls for a living and a lot of people that talk about it didn't catch balls for a living. Pause. Stop. Stop.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Yeah. Hey, listen, it's a very difficult catch for those of you that don't know to have an errant throw like that when you're trying to drive back to the quarterback and he throws it away from where you're going to and you have to adjust your body. It's a very, very difficult catch. Listen, there are some... Because it's low and outside, Ocho. Yeah, and now there are also receivers who can probably make it
Starting point is 00:09:16 that are natural pass catchers of the ball. Natural pass catchers can probably adjust and make that catch. But for most of the receivers in the league, it's a very, very difficult catch. Again, like you said, you're not going to win games like this. I think if the Cowboys,
Starting point is 00:09:31 the Cowboys didn't look that good tonight. I think they played decent. And if it was any other team outside of the Giants, five of the field goals, at least two of those or maybe three of those might have been touchdowns. And the game would have been different. Yeah, touchdowns and the game would have been different. Yeah, I agree. The game
Starting point is 00:09:48 would have been different and another team would have won, but the Giants, listen, Daniel Jones has to make some of those throws. The one in Malik Nabors should have been six. The one to Slayton should have easily been six. Easy! If he hadn't underthrown it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Those were layups and if we were layups. You can't miss them. If we can get some consistency at the quarterback position in New York with the weapons he got, they will be fine. But right now, the quarterback is costing him a little bit. They're costing him a lot of bit. What did you say? He cost him a lot of bit yeah because Ocho the thing is they're not good enough to overcome that yeah see the thing is when you when you're challenged but offensively you have I've been in a situation I played on the 2000 Ravens yeah we were challenged
Starting point is 00:10:38 offensively but what we did when we got you in the right defense, you were in the wrong defense. We had the right play call. We punished you. We had to because we couldn't miss throws because we weren't that good. We weren't the 98 Minnesota where they had Chris Carter, Randy Moss, and all those guys. We weren't the Patriots in what was that, 07? We weren't the Broncos in 2013. We weren't the Patriots and what was that oh seven yeah we weren't the Broncos in 2013 we weren't that right so you have to understand who and what you are and when the opportunity presents itself
Starting point is 00:11:12 I just remember like look anytime somebody made a mistake we had to make them pay right and if we made a mistake Brian used to always look if we make a mistake let's just make sure we hold on to the ball if somebody whips a block quarterback and you get make sure we hold on to the ball if somebody whiffs a block quarterback and you get hit flush just hold on to the ball running back if somebody if somebody gets whiffs just make sure you hold on to the ball now on the flip side ultra we catch you in the wrong defense and we got the right play call right we've got to hit our head on the goal every time because i because we're not going to get that many opportunities and we're not going to go out there and score 30 points a game it's going to be a nip tuck ball game we make one or two plays and we're going to turn it over to our defense that is the way the giants are the
Starting point is 00:11:54 giants are not good enough offensively they can't run the ball well enough yeah their quarterback is not consistent enough malik neighbors is is to look fantastic. I like Wondell Robinson. Slayton is what he is. But I think he's good enough. But the quarterback position is not. You can't miss those throws.
Starting point is 00:12:18 They're too routine. They're too routine for you to miss and you're not good enough to overcome them. And also the refs need to get out of the way, y'all. That first half, Bo was more— Oh, that wasn't no face mask. They called face masks on the wrong damn guy.
Starting point is 00:12:33 Man, listen, they threw more yellow flags, boy. More yellow flags than Big Bird got at Feathers. You hear me? The refs were all in the way of the game in the first half. I didn't know what in the world was going on. But other than that, listen, it was a snooze fest. No disrespect. If you look at the Cowboys schedule, I think the Cowboys next three games,
Starting point is 00:12:56 like they're going to have to play better than they did tonight. I know they won. Oh, yeah. It feels good to be at 500 going into week four. That's a good thing. It's a positive thing, you know, to be above 500 or at 500 for that matter. But it's not going to get any easier. It's not going to get any easier.
Starting point is 00:13:15 No. I just think the thing is that when you're in a situation like the Giants, when you're challenged offensively, I don't think their defense are world beaters, but they play well enough. You know, I love Thibodeau. I love Lawrence. Brian Burns. I think they're solid players.
Starting point is 00:13:31 The secondary. Well, they got to get Adoree back. Adoree's hurt right now. And they got some other pieces that are out right now as far as the secondary is concerned. Once they get them boys back, I think they solid. You know, they're not the best defense in the league, but they can play some goddamn good ball, especially with that front.
Starting point is 00:13:51 You know, they got up there with Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They can press the quarterback. You got two edge rushers. Lawrence can collapse the pocket from inside. They're decent. I think their front four is the strength of their defense yeah i think that's that's where they're gonna you know make their hay that's where they're gonna that's where they're gonna be like okay guys we we've got to win up front in order for us to have a chance at the second you know the uh the linebacker court in the back end right but we have to do what we need to do up front um but at the end of the day your quarterback can't miss no throws yeah he just
Starting point is 00:14:26 can't i'm sorry uh and guys i don't you know i'm not trying to you know it was 2015 and maybe y'all take consolation in that and see the thing is with me is that oh joe when i look at a game i don't watch the sound right i'm not looking at they scored a touchdown yay i'm looking at why you scored right okay the ball is incomplete i'm looking at why it's incomplete i'm looking at a situation that's a coverage i'm like bro what what why in that coverage you know it's fine you have to understand well like and people got mad at me i was like bro i understand that's quite well if aj but that wasn't aj right you know that's not aj that first of all, Devontae is 60 pounds less than AJ. So even if AJ
Starting point is 00:15:08 collides him, yeah, it's going to be incomplete. That's not... Devontae game is not physicality. It's finesse. You have to understand that. And in that situation, that down in distance, that area of the field, it's about physicality. Because you're asking him to
Starting point is 00:15:24 cross his face or collided because the one thing you don't want to happen that the best thing yeah is that you score touchdown the second best thing is incomplete the absolute worst thing is what ocho an interception and they got the absolute there were three things that could happen and they got the absolute worst so when i look at the situation i'm looking at I'm telling you If Daniel Jones Make two throws tonight The Giants win this game Yeah
Starting point is 00:15:47 Oh yeah Either that one of the neighbors Or that one of the Slayton That one That one of the Slayton Should have put the nail in the coffin That one of the Slayton Should have put the nail in the coffin
Starting point is 00:15:56 You talking about winning Bad at the line Not only He beat that buddy He had And then he gave a little nudge Jojo Hey
Starting point is 00:16:02 Then he gave a little nudge He got a little nudge, JoJo. Hey, then he gave a little nudge. He got a little more separation. Man. He's going to look at film. Daniel Jones is going to look at film. The receiver is going to look at film. And they're going to be upset. The coach is going to be upset because they know that's the game they could have won.
Starting point is 00:16:19 If not only, listen, we score five field goals. All right? That'll get you beat. But the fact that you missed the throws as well on top of only, listen, we score five field goals, all right? That'll get you beat. But the fact that you missed the throws as well, on top of only scoring five, getting five field goals, they didn't win you no games. No. It's not like you barely in the red zone.
Starting point is 00:16:35 You way down there. Down there, yeah. You way, I mean, you in the five, you at the five-yard line. And look, they had a great play called the, what's the name, Overshawn made a great play. the over. What's the name? Oh, over Sean made a great play. They had a play to Rondell Robinson. They put him in motion and they swung him out of the backfield. He has to come from his inside linebacker spot.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Right. And he has to make a play on a wide receiver. Tip your hat to him. He made an unbelievable play because son, look, you have one on one. That's the guy you got to beat. You either run his ass over. You got to make him miss. Those are your only two options. But you can't let him tackle you in the open field
Starting point is 00:17:08 that's what they say i'm telling you what they're telling him having been in situations like that having been in offensive meeting room and saying look that's the guy you got two choices right you run his ass over or you make him miss those are your only two options because if you do one of those two things the ball's in the end zone. Other than that, we got to kick a field goal. Yeah. And what did they do?
Starting point is 00:17:29 They kicked a field goal. Give Overshawn credit. He made an unbelievable play. Unbelievable. But you've got to, you've got, especially because the Cowboys, if the Cowboys are settled for two field goals,
Starting point is 00:17:39 you're right there with them, Ocho. But they got touchdowns. Yeah. So now you got, think about it. You got four field goals. They got two touchdowns, and they're in front by two points. That's it.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Then they kick attack on another field goal. Now you need a touchdown to take the lead because a field goal won't help you. And that's what I'm telling you because you have to look at the game. It's like, well, damn, we kicking these field goals. Hey, they got two touchdowns and they got us. They got us right now. But in that situation, man, Daniel Jones, he has to make those. He just has to, Mocho.
Starting point is 00:18:18 He has to. In order for the Giants to have any level of success. If not both of them, make one of them. If not both of those throws, make one of them. Because one of those throws, both are touchdowns, but just make one of them. And the game is completely different. Completely different. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I agree. I agree. But that's the difference in the ballgame. Because, look, like we said, there are a couple of plays here or there. It's not the totality of the game. Yeah, you can look at it and say, okay, it's 60 minutes in the ballgame because, look, like we said, there are a couple of plays here or there. It's not the totality of the game. Yeah, you can look at it and say, okay, it's 60 minutes in the ballgame. But when you go back and break it down like we have for decades, you go back and you're like, okay, this might have been the play right here
Starting point is 00:18:57 that could have broke the game up before, that could have swung the momentum in our favor, and who knows what happens after that. But we got to make those plays especially if you're as challenged offensively as they are yeah the giants are challenged offensively they don't have anybody that put fear in your heart in the run game 24 carries 26 yards that's not striking fear in nobody's heart neighbors is is is legit he legit wandell robinson you can win with. Slayton,
Starting point is 00:19:26 he's okay. He's hit or miss. I mean, he can light you up for a big day, and then some days, not so much. But they leave a lot to be desired offensively, and when you leave a lot to be desired offensively, when your opportunity presents itself, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:19:42 it's like a situation where a guy, you might only be in a room with this good-looking woman one time. At some point in time, you got to find a way to make your way over in her vicinity and get her attention. You better make the most of your opportunity. You better make the most of
Starting point is 00:19:57 your opportunity. Exactly. And don't wait too long. The next thing you know, somebody else don't walk in there he up they're talking to us and now you're like damn i don't blew my opportunity yes yes and so that's how you have to approach it if you're if you're the giants right the opportunities are not going to be there often but when they do present themselves you make sure you're in position and you make that play yeah so the cowboys move to two and two they get 10 days off now they play again they don't play again to the
Starting point is 00:20:29 following sunday if i'm not mistaken who they got 20 to 15 they win over the giants go to two and two uh both of their wins on the road both of their losses at home the giants fall to one and three and they're owing two at home wait Wait, what's the Cowboys got next? I mean, they got three hard games in a row, don't they? Who they got next? They got the Steelers. Woo! Who they got after that?
Starting point is 00:21:00 Boy, Guyton, hey, Guyton got it. Guyton, well, Guyton on the left tackle. Steelers, Lions, Niners, Falcons, Eagles, Guyton got it. Guyton, well, Guyton on. Steelers. Left tackle. Lions. Niners. Oh, shit. Falcons. Eagles. Oh, my God. Well, that's five in a row.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And then the Texans. Well, that's, hey, that's a six-game gauntlet right there. That's a, that is a six-game gauntlet. We're going to fight. I remember when I was with the Broncos mike would always tell us win lose or draw um looking at the schedule and we took it one at a time said we're gonna find out a lot about ourselves over the next several weeks we broke i mean a lot of times ocho we did mike would have the board blacked out so the only thing you could see was the next opponent he says it's a 16 round fight
Starting point is 00:21:45 right we're gonna take one round at a time so i mean obviously you know you can look at the paper you see the schedule or something like that but on the board when you walked in the only thing you saw was the opponent you were about to face yeah he didn't want you looking down the road the most important game on our schedule is happening sunday yeah it's happening monday night and it keep your focus he said but we're gonna find out a lot about ourselves yeah i like i like finding a lot about myself i like find out i am whatever i say i am if i wasn't why would i say i am come on that that's what i want hey i i needed to i needed to know i thought i was pretty good but the point the team that we're playing they got a pro bowl all pro safety right they got pro bowl
Starting point is 00:22:30 all pro corners they got pro bowl all pro uh linebacker yeah okay shannon you talk about you the best hell yeah not to show me and when i leave this game they're gonna say i'm the best too i'm the best foot i'm the best tight end. I'm the best ish talker. For sure.

Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey. Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life
Starting point is 00:27:48 through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. Oh, man. Hey, boy, that's some crazy. That's what you miss. You miss that hot Ocho. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. that's some crazy. That's what you missed. You missed that hot old show. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You know that.
Starting point is 00:28:27 You know that. You know, listen, I talk with the best of them, man. I talk with the best of them. I didn't wear a mouthpiece for a reason. I didn't either. People are like, man, you don't wear no mouthpiece. No. Man, I ain't got time.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I done put my pan in the dirt. I done slapped a dude on his back. I done slapped him on his ass. I done did a good job. And you think I'm about to reach in my mouth and pull my mouthpiece out? I wish I might. And plus, I didn't want to take time to put... Hold on. No, I just want to be talking
Starting point is 00:28:51 on cue. Shut the... If a, oh, sight, whatever, whoever. Shut up. I wasn't even talking to you. But since you ran your mouth, I'm talking to your... You know what now? You can get it too. Oh, for sure. Some good days, boy.
Starting point is 00:29:12 Good days. Ocho, I don't know if you saw this, but Jerry said Tuesday, it's very unfair to... He said it's very fair to blame the Cowboys' struggles on him. That's very fair. It's well, no, no decision is ultimately made here.
Starting point is 00:29:31 What I either have accurate or proved it. That's very fair. Whatever it is here. That's the way it is. Jerry, you're not interrupting. I normally schedule programming to tell us that we know that you made that abundantly clear. And I've been saying that I've been saying that for the longest.
Starting point is 00:29:46 I thought Jerry would have got the message by now. I mean, obviously, he's going to ignore it. You said he was going to ignore it. Jerry, let the players play. Jerry, let the coaches coach. The team itself, because of the star on his helmet, it gets enough attention as it is. There's enough pressure on the players already.
Starting point is 00:30:01 There's enough pressure on the coaches already because they can't even make the goddamn decisions. They need to win the goddamn game they need to win because you're looking over everybody's shoulder. Take a back seat. Kick your feet up. Matter of fact, go watch the game on your yacht.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Tell Jerry, go watch the game on your yacht. Let them boys do what they need to do, man. No, but he can't. But see, what Jerry fails to realize, the Cowboys are the sun. Does the sun need to burn any hotter for it to be brighter? It's already hot. It's brighter now. Yeah. Jerry, you don't have
Starting point is 00:30:33 to sell it. It's already sold. Listen. That's the way to keep his name. Go ahead. Go ahead, don't you? The Dallas Cowboys is blue magic. Chad, if you saw American Gangster, the Dallas Cowboys is blue magic.
Starting point is 00:30:50 You ain't got to do nothing to it. You ain't got to do nothing to it. Just sell it as it is. It's going to sell itself. Come on, Jerry. Somebody might get a little bit more credit. Because you think about it, if you look at the 90s,
Starting point is 00:31:06 what did they talk about? They talked about Jimmy and the triplets. Nobody mentioned Jerry. Even though once Jimmy left, he was yakking. It was the triplets. It was Troy, Emmett, and Michael. When Jimmy was there, it was Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:31:23 How about them Cowboys? Right. Jerry despised that because he saw Al. When you play the Raiders, it's always been Al Davis. Right. It's always been about Al. It's kind of like in the Yankees, before Mr. Steinbrenner passed, all those great players.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah. Once he purchased it from CBS, I think in 73 for like $7 million. It's all, it was about George. Jerry learned how to be an owner from Al Davis. It was always about Al and that's what Jerry wants. He wants that attention. Yeah. Most owners, Mr. Craft,
Starting point is 00:32:08 you look at the Roonies, back, we good back here. Eddie DeBartolo for the 49ers before his sister. Now Jed York and the York family has it.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Right. They in the back. Clark Hunt. Yeah. Before his dad, rest his soul, Lamar, I played the Chiefs. When his dad on the team, I mean,
Starting point is 00:32:34 if you didn't know, it's something when the owner is the centerpiece of your franchise. There's something to be said for that. Yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely. Most definitely. And listen,
Starting point is 00:32:47 I don't think they will see success until things change. And I'm sure Jerry's not going to step down because he's already made the comment that who can run the team better than he can. Obviously, he might be the issue because they haven't been back to the Super Bowl what, the last 25, 27 years.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I'm not sure what the number may be, but it's one thing about him. He's a great salesman. That's why the fans in the city, everyone continues to buy in because he's going to sell you. He's going to sell you a dream, Nat. He's going to sell you a dream. They kill it, Jerry.
Starting point is 00:33:18 They kill it, Jerry, the chat. They say, if Jerry be taking that, it's a game of inches. Literally. Man, y'all get out of the chair. Come on, man. Hey, that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, but you're right.
Starting point is 00:33:32 You're right, Ocho. Yeah. You're absolutely right. This is what Jerry wants. Jerry's like, anytime you're talking about the Cowboys, be it good, bad, doesn't matter. You're talking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:43 As long as you're talking. And maybe that's the damn matter. You're talking. Yeah. As long as you're talking. Maybe that's the damn problem. But hey. Like I said, I played with Mr. B. Mr. B.A. Early on, Ocho, he'd be on the sideline. He'd have his fur
Starting point is 00:33:58 coat on, his mink or whatever the case may be. Boom. In the sideline. Mr. Modell stood in the back. The only time the only time mr modell i was there two years now i don't know what he was like before i got there and i don't know what he was like after i left right the only time in the locker room mr modell spoke after we won the super bowl he broke down and started crying he said i'll never forget what y'all did for me today he said i'm proud of you he said i'm very proud of you now he said i'll never forget what y'all did for me today he said I'm proud of you he said I'm very proud of you now
Starting point is 00:34:26 he said I'll never forget what you did today that's the only time Mr. B I don't recall Mr. B talking in the locker room and I was there we went back to back I don't remember Mr. B talking in the locker room but I guess go ask the Cowboys
Starting point is 00:34:42 can they remember a time Jerry not talking in the locker room? Run Santa. Yeah. When Jimmy was there. Why you think Parcells left? Yeah. Listen,
Starting point is 00:34:56 that listen, Bill Parcells and a lot of PSC, a lot of people talk about Bill Belichick taking a job in Dallas. Like you talk about, I don't, it job in Dallas. Like, you talk about, it wouldn't work. It wouldn't work. You know, Bill Belichick is no different than Bill Parcells.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Like, all that talking, the number one thing, being a part of the Patriot Way is some one of the things that Bill Belichick despises and you cannot do. You cannot talk to the media. You can't.
Starting point is 00:35:27 You don't say nothing. Short and sweet. To the point, don't talk. Don't give a team any bullies or more material. And you think Bill Belichick is going to the Cowboys to have Jerry front and center every goddamn time? Absolutely not. Coach, what other owner in the NFL,
Starting point is 00:35:47 what other owner in any sport has a radio show? Oh, 105, 103.5, something like that? Yeah. Hey, man, listen. Yeah, Jerry, that's my point. You got to be heard, man. That's it. You got to be heard.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Because here's the thing. Let's just say for the sake of argument Coach Belichick says well I don't really need to be the general manager okay we can see that but he says Jerry these are the type players I'm you do know if Coach Belichick comes in there
Starting point is 00:36:18 and he makes changes right that's an indictment on Jerry because Jerry believed the players that he had are exquisite and then Coach Belichick comes in and says I need this type of player right Right. That's an indictment on Jerry. Because Jerry believed the players that he had are exquisite. Isn't that enough? Coach Belichick comes in and says, I need this type of player. Right. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Now what? Now what? Yeah. We got a problem. Before it even started. The show didn't even start yet. Listen. Not the credits.
Starting point is 00:36:42 What you call it? What you call it? What come on before the movie come on? Oh, the preview. Oh, yeah, the preview. The preview's on. They ain't even getting. They still in the previews, and they already butting heads.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Ocho, but here's the thing. If Coach Belichick comes in and the Cowboys get to him, win the Super Bowl, who going to get the credit? Oh, you know Bill. Oh, you know we talking about Bill winning his eighth? The one thing that Jerry despised. That's why he ran Jimmy off. What other coach you know will run a coach off after back-to-back Super Bowls considering they hadn't won one since the 70s?
Starting point is 00:37:17 So they hadn't won one in damn this 20 years. And the coach that comes in and gives you back-to-back and you got a 25-year-old Troy Aikman, 25-year-old, a 24-year-old Emmitt Smith, you got a 26-year-old Michael Irvin. So you got those guys in their absolute prime. The guy that got this. Now you got to go. Ego, boy. Ego. Pride.
Starting point is 00:37:44 You know? And listen, your pride fall first before everything else do i think the greatest thing that's ever happened was what we saw in newland and we might not see it again because mr craft set his ego aside and for the time, Tom and coach Belichick set their egos aside. And then somebody started listening to the noise and said, who deserves more credit? And then all of a sudden somebody, Tom did not want to leave New England. Tom wanted to be a one helmet guy.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He wanted to be that. He deserved that. Yeah. I mean, some people deserve that opportunity. Like coach Smith, North Carolina, he deserved to be that he deserved that yeah i mean some people deserve that opportunity like coach smith north carolina he deserved to stay there as long as he didn't get embroiled in a scandal right he deserved to be there coach k at kentucky coach summit at tennessee there are certain coaches coach brian nick say certain coaches because they've been exemplary on the field. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And in the community. They get to finish on their terms. Tom Brady has been everything. The player he was supposed to play. And this is the one time that Mr. Craspo had to put his foot down and say, Billy, that's what
Starting point is 00:39:02 he calls Coach Belichick. Billy, I ain't gonna do it. I ain't gonna do it. I ain't gonna do it. Damn. I'm not. Because he said Tommy was like a son to him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:17 The value in that franchise was because of 1-2. Yeah. He gave his mom a Super Bowl ring. Family members don't normally get Super Bowl rings. I gave my brother my Super Bowl ring
Starting point is 00:39:35 because it meant more for me for him to have it than it ever would to me. That's a lie. So, but no, Tom was supposed to be there for perpetuity. Tom was supposed to, hey,
Starting point is 00:39:52 if he got a motorized scooter, a cane, a walker, right? But not, he's supposed to have been there. And for whatever reasons, Coach Belichick thought it was over. And well, it started way before then, over and well it started way before then
Starting point is 00:40:07 it started way before then when jimmy g yeah yeah yeah and they and the guy wrote that article seth wickersham and somebody else uh uh mark fader or water or somebody else wrote an article right about the power struggle that was starting to happen and mr. Kraft put his foot down and say you will trade Jimmy G he basically gave Jimmy G away to the 49ers he adores Kyle Shanahan he has the utmost respect for Kyle's father Mike Shanahan so he's like as a basically an F you to mr. Kraft well I'm gonna give him away mm-hmm I mean this is I mean he was was going to be next in line. He was going to be next in line.
Starting point is 00:40:47 And as the franchise quarterback, I don't want the person who is next in line, my successor, to be looking over my shoulder because at any point when I'm not playing well or as good as I should be based on what people are used to seeing, now y'all calling for Jimmy G to be the starter.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Man, y'all got to get him up out of here. But even though... Get him up out of here. What I've relayed and through my experience and being around great players. Right. Great players,
Starting point is 00:41:20 as they start to get age, as they start to age, they only get compared to them younger selves. Who could you compare Tom to? Who did you compare Peyton to? You compare them to them younger selves. Right. And so that's what the great players, that's their honor.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You comparing me, you comparing a 35, 36-year-old to a 24, 25-year-old. And although Tom, Tom, I mean, it's not like he had three games in a row the man threw for 150 yards but considering what he because edelman has started to be involved in a little bit few too many car wrecks right it has started to affect him right um gronk has started to get nicked a little bit more frequently and it started to impact him and so the weapons that he once had were plenty
Starting point is 00:42:11 but the collisions had started to add up so that started to impact him well Coach Belichick thought it was Brady he didn't look around at the surroundings to see man if I get you know maybe upgrade something right because Brady had taken pay cuts for damn near for 20 years yeah so what the hell you you
Starting point is 00:42:35 you put hiding the money under your pillow so where was all where were you spending the money and he had started he had started to reach and reach. Because a lot of times when you become great, Ojo, you start to take unnecessary risks. He had had such success. He got Gronk. He got Aaron Hernandez in the third round. He got Gronk in the second round, who was a first-round pick, but he had the back injury. Hernandez was a first-round pick, but he had the off-the-field issues.
Starting point is 00:42:59 He dropped to the third. You get Edelman in the seventh round. You get Amendola and Fred. You get Wes Welker. You know, people don't really know. And so, but, and, you know, he had some good picks early on, especially defensively. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:12 But his wide receivers, the wide receivers he was picking was terrible. Terrible. But, well, damn, it was fun. 20 years. I mean, look, who was fun. 20 years. I mean, look. Who wouldn't take 20 years, six Super Bowls, nine Super Bowl appearances, Ocho? Yeah. Everybody would.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeti would. Everybody would. But you know how hard it is to win six Super Bowls? Hell, I know how hard it is to win one. You know how hard it is to win one, let alone to go to nine and win six. You can't even do it. It's difficult to do that in the video game, man,
Starting point is 00:43:51 let alone in real life. That lets you know how great and how much of an icon goddamn Billy is. Yeah. Ocho, before we move on, Ocho and Rel, guys have officially made up
Starting point is 00:44:05 hold on they've kissed and made up and so die and they got look at each other nah we ain't I mean look we alright
Starting point is 00:44:12 we alright but listen I eased up you know how when you're driving right and you step on the brake yeah so I stepped on the brake
Starting point is 00:44:19 a little bit I'm easing off of it I ain't ease off it all the way cause if you ease off it all the way they gonna think shit's sweet shit ain't sweet shit ain't sweet and I'm easing off of it I ain't ease off it all the way because if you ease off it all the way they gonna think shit's sweet shit ain't sweet shit ain't sweet and I'm being serious
Starting point is 00:44:29 for those you know I mean I'm handling this as mature as I can as mature as I possibly can so she right well I'm proud of you bro
Starting point is 00:44:39 yeah I appreciate that she right there behind me you can't see her oh she in the bed asleep baby hey Yeah, I appreciate that. She's right there behind me. You can't see her? Oh, she in the bed asleep. Baby! Yeah, she knocked out. Listen, she back there snoring like a rhino.
Starting point is 00:44:54 You can't hear? Hey, real estate. I'm traveling. Real estate. I'm traveling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, she came with me. You know, came to support me at Inside NFL Wednesday. So, you know, we left there and drove on down to New York.
Starting point is 00:45:07 So, you know, we in New York. I see people in this chat making fun of me, talking about, what, you in a storage unit with no lights? Somebody say, what, you back in the closet, but you in a storage unit? No, I'm in my hotel. I got the lights off because, know my little my little baby hippo my little baby baby back there
Starting point is 00:45:26 you know snoring she's sleeping yeah she's sleeping but other than that man I just we good man we gonna take take things slow
Starting point is 00:45:32 what I need to do I need to start over with her cause we in year five right and we gotta look comfortable I think she done got
Starting point is 00:45:41 a little comfortable she done got a little complacent I think I got a little complacent. And it ain't the same like it was in the beginning. I need to record. I need to find ways to fall in love again, you know, and find ways to redate, you know, all that good stuff, man.
Starting point is 00:45:58 You know, just add a little pepper and spice to this shit because, you know, we done got everything became routine. Yeah, you get settled. I'm just being honest. She working, you working. Yeah, we had a good talk, man, driving from Philly to here. That's it. That's what's up.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Yeah, about time she took, you know, something that most women don't. She took accountability. I was like, okay, I'm proud of you. That's good to hear because you ain't did that in five years. I like that. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 00:46:31 That my daughter. Own it. Yeah. Yeah. Mess up. Clean it up. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:38 But the greatest apology is change behavior. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, it is. It is. It is. But listen, I like,
Starting point is 00:46:43 I like when I hear that phrase right there. The greatest apology is change behavior. Oh, yeah, it is. It is. It is. But listen, I like when I hear that phrase right there. The greatest apology is change behavior. Now, there's only so much we can do as humans because you are who you are, especially at our big age, you know. And at times, if you have to change too much of who you are to appease someone else, then you lose the sense of yourself. Right. And that's one thing I can't do. I can't lose the sense of self and what makes me me. Now, the issues and problems that we do have are not magnified that much because they're small. They're fixable. Yeah, they're fixable problems. But what I need to do is I need to find a way to minimize those small problems because small problems continue to build and build and build and build and build and they become big problems. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Well, that's why you jump on them that's what but here's the thing Ocho as long as you approach her in a way right that's not confrontational yeah you're like baby I want to talk to you about something uh-huh and uh no you know it's not an issue but I don't want it to become an issue so and then you you you approach it like that you don't approach her in a confrontational manner no you don't cause like you you wrong and I'm right in this situation you talk to approach it like that. You don't approach her in a confrontational manner. You don't cause like you, you wrong. And I'm right in this situation. You talk to her. Um, like I said, I, I, I just know real through you, but I think, I think, you know, she, she's probably because the one thing I do know, Ocho, she, she, she, she loves you.
Starting point is 00:47:58 She wanted you. She wanted you. She wanted you. And it's one, one it's one it's a one thing when a woman wants a man yeah there's not a whole lot that woman won't do for that man yeah and vice versa
Starting point is 00:48:10 and vice versa yeah yeah yeah you know I don't think I'm breaking I'm not breaking news but when a woman really wants a man and she put herself out there
Starting point is 00:48:19 like yeah I want you yeah let it be known let the record clearly state that real won't. That's not how she told me. She said, she said, I want you, but I don't need you. So like, it was like, it was, she kind of hit me with like a backhanded compliment at the same time.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Like, well, Dan, you ain't letting me just say you want me. You ain't had to tell me you need me. We know, we know, we you're good, but I think we on the right path. We doing good. We doing good. But I like it. Somebody tweeted me the other day, why you always posting when y'all beefing?
Starting point is 00:48:55 Listen, I post when we happy. I post when we smiling. I post when we sleeping. I post when we wake up in the morning. I post every goddamn thing I'm not living shit privately because I ain't got nothing to goddamn hide like some of these people that think they want to be so
Starting point is 00:49:12 secretive and like who the fuck is y'all I ain't no motherfucking A-lister I'm going through the same shit y'all go through in the chat I'm going through the same shit you go through I mean we all go through the same thing hide for what I go through the same same. Did you go through what? I mean, we all go through the same thing. I fight for what we got.
Starting point is 00:49:25 I go through the same arguments. Y'all go through. We had the same fights. Y'all have man. Yeah. I think that, like I said, um,
Starting point is 00:49:34 it's okay. Um, but as, as somebody that's gone to therapy for a number of years and many of times is that the therapists always say shannon yeah are you arguing to be right or you arguing for right oh she said there are two different things they both end with right but what are you arguing right and you have to be able to communicate with your partner both in a language they can understand. Right.
Starting point is 00:50:07 If you speak in Mandarin Chinese and she's speaking Spanish or she's speaking Portuguese, there's no communication there. And you've got to have communicated. See, when you have uncommunicated expectations, you have expectations for rail. Rail has expectations for you, but they aren't communicated. See, this is where the problem starts to arrive because there's uncommunicated. Well, I thought Ocho was going to take me there. Well, she didn't tell me. So how am I supposed to know?
Starting point is 00:50:40 See, sometimes we get to the thing. Well, you should just know. No, baby, just tell me what you want. I can't read your mind now just tell me what you want right and I'm gonna do I'm gonna try to do what I can to make sure that happens because I want to make you happy because at the end of the day a man when he's looking for I'm talking about a real a woman it's not an educational. It's not a body. It's not a beauty. It's not the sex. Can you bring him peace? Because all those things,
Starting point is 00:51:10 all those things, the finest, beautiful, I mean, hanging from the ceiling fan, and he can turn it on high. But if you don't give that man peace, eventually he gonna leave. But you know what? Also, in turn
Starting point is 00:51:25 one of the things i learned especially about myself now like i like what you're talking about but i'm gonna take accountability on my end so i got to bring oh hell real piece my goddamn self yes i got i got i can't bring up peace so normally if I'm bringing her peace, then once I, once I crossed that threshold in that door that I call my safe place or my safe haven, whatever it may be, then I do get peace. Now I'm not going to goddamn donkey. And I'm expecting her.
Starting point is 00:51:56 I'm expecting her to bring me peace when I'm acting a fool. Oh no, I don't, it don't work that way. Oh, it don't work that way. Yeah. Made for this mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,

Starting point is 01:01:20 have emerged on why Dan Campbell and his family surprisingly listed their Michigan home for sale, including the docking of Campbell's by his daughter's school schoolmate. One student shared a post revealing that Campbell's home address Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, on Snapchat following a 34 31 loss to the 49ers in the NFC championship game with the caption dumb. The caption, dumb FCK, trying to go for it. Individuals then appeared at the family's home shortly after 11 p.m. Excuse me, which scared the daughter who left for the night, per the police report. According to the 49ers and that he found humor in his snapchat post you see that now you put people live at risk and you say
Starting point is 01:02:14 hey it's funny yeah they call that like dachshunds like swat right swatting like i think they do at the game at the time when they streaming yeah that's real dangerous that's real yeah then you can't play like that i mean but you know kids kids especially at that age they don't know no damn better they know better i mean i mean they know better in that situation we did pranks we knock people mailbox down right we toilet paper people cars and stuff like that they call egg the house yes we're not gonna put someone in harm's way where police might go in their guns drones and somebody get hurt yeah i mean i understand pranks because hey been apart i've done them done them lock people in their room uh you pull a rubbing alcohol on there and set it on fire, you won't come out and we're going to burn y'all.
Starting point is 01:03:06 You know what I'm saying? We did all that. But, come on now. You know the police are going to come. Come on now. And then you thought it was fun. Really? They learned all that from you on TubeU or YouTube.
Starting point is 01:03:22 All that stuff like that. Kids, just be careful. Just be careful. I mean, you put somebody in harm's way. It's different now. The jokes, like I said, I mean, because here's the thing,
Starting point is 01:03:34 Ocho. And people document everything. Yeah. Like I said, we knock people's mailbox down. Oh, hold on. What about, what about N.I.,
Starting point is 01:03:42 N.I., you know what? Knock him. Huh? Nick and Lee and running. Oh, yeah. Somebody let you have it. It's in knocking. I'm trying not to say
Starting point is 01:03:55 the word, but there might be another word for it. Yeah. Somebody let you have it. Because Ocho, everybody don't play the same. That's how you have to be careful who you play with. Everybody doesn't
Starting point is 01:04:12 play the same. And I tell people, what is a joke to you is death to somebody else. Boy, listen. That's a joke. Two people need to be laughing for it to be a joke. Because what you think is funny, if somebody
Starting point is 01:04:27 handled your ass, now all of a sudden you're like, man, it wasn't that serious. Clearly he thought it was, or she thought it was. You can't tell nobody how to relax. You don't. Right. You get to control actions. You don't get to control consequences. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Because that would be so unfair. I mean, think about Ocho. You get to do something to someone and then you get to control the consequences of the actions that you did. Right. How fair is that? Yeah. I commit a crime and he said, you know what? I think I should do probably like three, four days
Starting point is 01:05:00 in jail. Huh? I did something and then, no, no no no no it doesn't work like that right so just the kids kids be careful be mindful actions have consequences and then oh i'm sorry that's not what i meant it doesn't matter intent only matters to the defendant because a lot of times murder manslaughter involuntary negligent homicide intent only matters to the defendant the victim is just as dead so whether you meant to do it or you intended to do it the outcome is the same thing yeah so kids just be careful be mindful of stuff like that that's all i'm asking i understand your kids but at a certain point in time you know right from wrong
Starting point is 01:05:45 ding dong ditch that's what I was trying to say I wanted to say nigga knocking but I was trying not to say the n-word but yeah yeah we used to prank call you call prank calls
Starting point is 01:06:01 hey excuse me do you have Prince Albert in the can? We sure do. Well, you better let him out before you suffocate. You know what I'm saying? We just... But you know, back then, Ocho, see, everybody was on the line.
Starting point is 01:06:16 So you could just like... Like, if you was my neighbor, and you got on the line, I could pick the phone up and hear you talking to real. I would ask you, man, Ocho, how much longer are you going to be on the phone? Because I need to use and hear you talking to real I would ask you man Ocho how much longer you gonna be on the phone cause I need to use I'm expecting to call at such and such time because if somebody was on the line it would ring busy
Starting point is 01:06:32 so you couldn't get a call as long as somebody cause everybody was on that line until everybody got individual line so I was like I'd pick up the phone and such the neighbor down the road they be talking I was like excuse I pick up the phone and such. The neighbor down the road, they be talking. I was like, excuse me, Miss Twinda.
Starting point is 01:06:48 How much longer are you going to be on the phone? My granddaddy expected a call. Okay. Okay, son. I tell, tell Barney. Oh, hello. And they would get off the phone. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:58 But Ocho. Yeah. While the Dolphins wait for Tua to recover from his concussion, the team is unlikely to trade for a quarterback who might be able to field the starter. Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Dolphins making the trade doesn't seem likely at this point, despite Tua being out for at least three more games while on injury reserve. One source told Fowler that Miami is not much into at this time when talking about a potential trade Ocho do you like the decision of the Dolphins not to look for a trade or trade partner or a viable
Starting point is 01:07:32 option while Tua is on the injured reserve yeah yeah yeah I don't think they need to I like that I like the pickup with Tyler Huntley I like it I think he he's uh efficient at the quarterback position I'm listening he's somewhere he's not Lamar quarterback position. I'm listening. He's somewhere. He's not Lamar Jackson, not even close to Lamar Jackson, but he's something like that. Obviously, he's a dual threat quarterback. He can throw it. He can wing it now because we've seen him play. We've seen him play in place from Lamar Jackson when he was with the Ravens.
Starting point is 01:07:58 He can run it. He can throw it. And I think because the tools that he does have in the supporting cast is so good around him, I think he can win the Dolphins maybe two to three or maybe three of the four games until Tua
Starting point is 01:08:15 has to come back. I'm serious. I really believe so. I really believe so. Who's the next Dolphins' next three opponents? I guarantee you I'm right too. I guarantee you the next two the next three games. They went to a three. And it's going to be because the Tyler is going to be because the Tyler
Starting point is 01:08:37 Hunt is Titans and is a Patriots. Quinn Quinn. Okay. Now that Colton game might be a little that Colts game might be a little different. But that Titans game... The Patriots do play pretty good defense now. Yeah, they do play pretty good defense.
Starting point is 01:08:53 But I'm telling you, the Dolphins are going to beat the Patriots. They definitely beat the Titans because Will Levis is going to give them the game. He's going to give you the game. But I like Tyler Huntley. I think they're going to be all right until the goddamn tour come back.
Starting point is 01:09:12 Okay. Tickets for the Dolphins. Ocho. Tickets for the Dolphins-Titans game on Monday night are just $33 and continue to fall. $33. What are they playing at?
Starting point is 01:09:26 Not in Miami. They're playing... What are they playing? They got to be playing Tennessee. It's in Miami. Not for no $33. $33. You might want to fact check that.
Starting point is 01:09:41 $33. Oh, you're talking about nosebleed. Hey. For $150, you talking about nosebleed? Hey. For 150, you can sit in the suite. Boy. Listen, if a suite ticket is $150, I'm going to the
Starting point is 01:09:55 game. Well, get ready. Go ahead. Wait, they play this Sunday, right? They play Monday night, right? Is it Monday night or Sunday? They play Monday night. Okay, I'm going to the game. I'm going to the game. I'm going to go to the game and leave at halftime so I'm not late. Yeah, I mean,
Starting point is 01:10:11 look here. Hey, I'll tell you what you do. Yeah. Hey, just drive to Miami, go to the gas station, leave your windows down, and go in there and get you a bag of chips and a soda. When you come back, there'll be four tickets on your dash. That's all you got to do.
Starting point is 01:10:33 That's all you got to do, Ocho. You go in there and get you a bag of chips and a soda, leave your windows down, and when you come back, there'll be four tickets on your dash. Hey, now that was a good one. That was a good one. But we talking about the Dolphins, man. We talking about the Dolphins.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Ocho, man, you know how fit for the Dolphins fans are. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they are. They are. They are. They are. But listen, we still got Waddle. We still got Reed.
Starting point is 01:11:02 We still got A-Chain. We still got Maddle we still got reek we still got a chain we still got moster hey if we get we get a little low low low competence at the quarterback position we're gonna be all right we're gonna be all right yeah oh yo y'all did although y'all dealing with that storm everybody that's on the east coast that's being impacted by uh helen and any helen hurricane helen yeah yeah helena hello northern california like up there in tallahassee stay safe jacksonville stay safe and when they tell you guys you need to evacuate make sure you evacuate people don't i mean uh uh you know responders don't have an opportunity to come back and get nobody yeah so if they tell you i get it you want to be tough we're gonna ride it
Starting point is 01:11:39 out we rode out andrew we rode out this one and that one. Come on. Yeah. Let's just, let's just, let's, let's be smart. Let's be prudent. Life is more valuable than any possessions. Right. And let's just be smart. But us at nightcap, we're praying for everybody's safety. And so hopefully no one gets severely impacted by this storm. And so, Ocho, the big homie, Bengals legend, Willie Anderson is racing. He's telling teams in sports, anyone blaming Cincinnati early season, whoa, don't quarterback is flat out wrong. That's ridiculous, bro.
Starting point is 01:12:14 Like these are games, but they're in these games because of him. It's just totally ridiculous. I mean, I saw some comments that Chris Canty made after Joe Burrow had a good game. Now, we have started slow. He did give away a fumble. I think a fumble that might have cost his game. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Other than that there have been a few mistakes a few errors a little bit a little bit of inconsistency and and and slow play to start the start the season but one thing about joe burrow he always picks up as the season goes he always gets some rhythm the chemistry with himself the offense and the receiving core it gets going as as as the weeks on, as we saw against the Commanders, even though, you know, they lost. He had a good game, as did Jaden Daniels. But I think he's going to be all right. I think he's going to be all right.
Starting point is 01:13:16 I understand what Willie's saying. Obviously, it is to say that Jerbo is playing bad and they're losing because of him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ocho, but here's the thing. The thing that I want to give, look, we don't have to debate Tom Brady's, what he's been able to accomplish. But I think one of the greatest thing,
Starting point is 01:13:35 one of his greatest attributes that he could understand very early in the ball game, what was needed of him. Right. You see, the difference is, Washington went three or three in the red zone. Yeah. The Bengals went two or four. Two or four, yeah. See, that's the difference is Washington went three or three in the red zone. Yeah. The Bengals went two or four. Two or four, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:48 See, that's the difference in your ball game. Remember, field goal gets you beat. Scoring touchdown. See, you can't settle for field goals when the other team is getting touchdown. Yeah. So that's it because this is what we've always done. I remember Peyton Manning would outplay Tom Brady stat wise. Tom Brady
Starting point is 01:14:08 would win because he would get the ball into the end zone in the red zone. Everybody blamed Brady. Everybody blamed Peyton. Even though Peyton had the superior stats. So at the end of the day, did Dak play bad Sunday against the Ravens? Did you see Dak?
Starting point is 01:14:27 Did they see Dak's numbers? Mm-hmm. But at the end of the day, you got to get the ball into the end zone because you see your defense. If our defense could just give us one stop, that could alter it. But that's all I need. But if they don't, I can't kick field goals because now I'm allowing too much separation
Starting point is 01:14:51 to get in between us because the likelihood, if we can't stop them and we're neck and neck, what's the chance we're going to stop them? We get down 13. We get down 15. And you see what happened. They tried to make it a ball game.
Starting point is 01:15:04 And what did Jaydenden daniels do he came right back on the field hold my beer that's what he told him hold my beer so but did you see that goddamn throw with their oh yeah yeah yeah with their free runner coming and he sat there in that pocket and let that man
Starting point is 01:15:20 and drop he's impressive i was i was very impressed for a young man to go on the road, but Ocho, you got to remember now, he had 55 college starts. 55. That's a lot of starts. That's a
Starting point is 01:15:36 lot of starts, Ocho. The moment wasn't too big. The lights weren't too bright. And the crowd didn't get too loud. I mean, shit hell playing the LSU. You should just,
Starting point is 01:15:48 that transition into the NFL should be like, be right. You should be right at home. The volume.
