Chase is the first receiver to have 10 catches, a buck 75, two touchdowns,
Starting point is 00:03:59 and two games since Jamar Chase did it in Week 10 against the Ravens. Guess what? He's also the first receiver to do it since Jamar Chase did it in Week 10 against the Ravens. Guess what? He's also the first receiver to do it since Jamar Chase did it in Week 5 against the Ravens. Hey, that boy good. He's going to be a unanimous first team also. Jetta looks like
Starting point is 00:04:18 he's going to be the other receiver that's going to be a first team also. He's not going to be unanimous like Chase is, but Chase has a chance to win the Triple Crown. A chance to win the Triple Crown? There's only four or five weeks left. He's going to win the Triple Crown. Nothing is going to stop Jamar Chase. Nothing is going to stop Joe Burrow.
Starting point is 00:04:33 They might as well get whatever award it is that Chase is supposed to get as far as when it comes to winning that Triple Crown, they might as well ship it on to Cincinnati right now. They might as well ship it on over there right now. And that's not all. Not only is he going to win the Triple Crown, we do have the MVP at the quarterback position.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Many people aren't going to give him credit because our record doesn't... You're not going to get no MVP. Let me finish. Do me a favor. Don't interrupt me. Next time you want to talk, raise your hand and I'm going to call on you, okay?
Starting point is 00:05:00 But anyway, like I was saying, Joe Burrow should be the unanimous MVP. But due to our record this season, he Burrow should be the unanimous MVP. But due to our record this season, he's not going to be in the talk. He's not going to be in consideration. Josh Allen, kudos. Kudos him. Kudos to Lamar Jackson as well.
Starting point is 00:05:20 But if we happen to go on a run and for some reason slither into the playoffs in some kind of fashion by way of God, we are a team that nobody's going to want to see offensively. Now, I can't speak for the defense, but I'm saying if we got to score 53, we're going to score 53. If we got to score 45, we're going to score 45. But y'all going to give up 55. Listen, that's neither here nor there. We are a team that nobody wants to see.
Starting point is 00:05:44 And y'all don't want to see nobody? No, and don't nobody want to see us, especially offensively. That's the focal point. Ocho, but you got to bring your entire team. You can't leave your defense at home. I understand that, but I can only do my job. That's something Bill Belichick always said to do. Do your job.
Starting point is 00:06:01 My job is to focus on offense. My job is to score 40 to 55 points and get... Are you a team or not? Are you a team? What? Are you a team? Is it the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cincinnati offense, the Cincinnati defense, the Cincinnati special teams? I just need to know
Starting point is 00:06:18 which are you. It is a team. Can I say something before you finish? It is a team, huh? It's a team, right? But that team is broken down into three phases. Offense, team, huh? It's a team, right? But that team is broken down into three phases. Offense, defense, and special teams. Now, each three of those phases has to do their job
Starting point is 00:06:31 in order for you to get a W. You know Ws? Like James Winston? Y'all ain't done. Y'all hungry. We ate something. That's it. How?
Starting point is 00:06:39 This is the first time y'all ate in three weeks? Hey. Let me ask you a question. You know what? When the playoffs start, which one of the Bengals are going to be in the playoffs? The offense, the defense,
Starting point is 00:06:47 or the special team? The whole team. The team in general. Y'all will be home, right? No, no, no, no, no. Don't do that. Don't do that. Can you ask Ash the Giver what percentage the chance is of us making it to the playoffs still to this point? Uh,
Starting point is 00:07:03 an 80-year-old getting pregnant, there's a chance. Right. But, come on, there's a percentage. Now, the percentage ain't that low. There's a percentage
Starting point is 00:07:11 an 80-year-old can get pregnant. I was married, which you can see Jesus. 83? 83? So, there is a chance
Starting point is 00:07:18 they put man on the moon. Yeah. Yeah. Chance. I feel, you ain't gonna put no money down on it, though. Who?
Starting point is 00:07:27 Me? How much I owe you right now? Three bands. Okay. How about this? When we play the Broncos. I ain't betting nothing. You ain't going to bet.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Listen. How you going to bet me with my money? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I don't like your talking. You ain't going to bet me with my money. I bet you. I owe you $3, hold on, hold on. I don't like your tone.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Hey, man, go grab me with my money. I bet you. I owe you $3,000. I bet it. Let's bring it down a notch, and let's respect the winner. Let's respect the winner's circle tonight. That's me. That's me.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Let's respect the winner's circle tonight. Now. You owe me $3,000. How you the winner? I'm giving you the opportunity to double your money. So when we play the Broncos, let's double or nothing that $3,000 I owe you. I don't like doubling my money. I like to just take my money. I got something in mind.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I want to buy something. It is just so happy to call $3,000. The gift I want to get calls exactly $3,000. I said, you hold on. I3,000 I said you hold on I said sir can you hold this for me I'll be right back in like two weeks
Starting point is 00:08:29 so I gotta I gotta go in there by this week hey hold on tell me tell me what you gonna get what is it just give me
Starting point is 00:08:36 the the bingos have less than a 2% chance to make the playoffs 2% less than less than 2% yes actually it's playoffs. 2%? Less than.
Starting point is 00:08:46 Less than 2%? Yes, actually it's 1.9. 1.9? You know what? That's not that bad. You know what? That's not that bad. I'm going to just say 2% because I bet if you ask the chat, right, when they go to Whole Foods, I bet some of them, they get 2% milk. I bet sometimes when you get a latte, you go to Starbucks and they ask you what kind of milk you want.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Sometimes people say, you know what? I want 2% milk. I bet sometimes when you get a latte and you go to Starbucks and they ask you what kind of milk you want, sometimes people say, you know what, I want 2% milk. There is a significance. If you're an actor, you know, sometimes the agent, your agent fee,
Starting point is 00:09:12 sometimes the agent fee is 2%. No, it ain't. It's 10, 15, 20% in Hollywood. You ain't getting no 2%. Okay, listen,
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'm just trying to throw that context. I didn't need you to correct me. Okay, my bad. My bad. My bad. Okay.'t need you to correct me. Okay, my bad, my bad, my bad. Okay. But they got a milk chance, 2%. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Since I put it in terms that you understand you like milk, they got a milk chance, 2%. The question is for you, is Burrow and Chase the best quarterback wide receiver combo? Absolutely. Now, there are a few people that would like to argue as far as duos are concerned, but a duo that is doing what they've done at such an early stage, as soon as they started, they hit the ground running right away.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Obviously, because of the continuity that they already had and the chemistry that they had already built, it made the transition into the NFL, being on the same team that much easier. It made it that much easier, which is one of the few reasons why the chemistry, it looks the way it does.
Starting point is 00:10:19 When you watch Joe Burrow and you watch Jamar Chase work, that ain't nothing but Prince and Apollonia. Okay? That ain't nothing but Mark Anthony and J-Lo. Okay? You stand with me? That ain't nothing but Prince Hakeem and the lady, the daughter from McDowell's.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I don't remember the daughter's name in the movie. What was her name? Okay. Yeah. You get where I'm going. You get where I'm going. You get where I'm going. Yeah. It's just a match made in heaven.
Starting point is 00:10:49 It's just a match made in heaven. Like when you meet somebody new, one of the key things, one of the key things and the only key things that matters is the chemistry and whether you're compatible. Okay. And when you're compatible, your Wi-Fi, the connection is perfect. And Joe Burrow and goddamn Jamar chase wi-fi is on point yeah i don't i don't i don't i don't have any other references or analogies i can think of to give to give people a better understanding on how great they are so early uh chase got 19 he got 93 catches oh yeah uh 1300 yards and 15 touchdowns
Starting point is 00:11:28 last year he's already clear he's 7 catches behind last year's pace he's already 100 yards clear of last year's pace he already has 8 touchdowns more than last year and he has they're
Starting point is 00:11:45 5-7. What's their record? Hold on. They're 5-8, so they got four games to go. So there's an outside chance he could get to that 1,700 mark. Absolutely. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And he might get to that magical number, that 20 touchdown mark. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And he might, he might get to that 20, that magical number, that 20 touchdown. Yeah. Which only, only a handful of guys have ever gotten there. Jerry and Randy, not,
Starting point is 00:12:13 not Jerry got 22. Randy got 23. Nobody else. I mean, there've been a few 18. But nobody, there's only two guys that's ever gotten 20 receiving touchdowns in the season.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And you know, that, that young bull, man, is nice, man. Obviously, even as early as it is, man, Chase is the greatest banger receiver to ever play. Chase is the greatest banger receiver to ever don them goddamn stripes. You hear me? You know, some of the things that he's doing, they haven't been done before in that helmet. In that. Ain't nobody never done nothing like that, man.
Starting point is 00:12:47 You know, Mike Brown, you're going to be sorry you didn't sign that man. What are you telling? You hear me? You had to pay double. Oh, he about to get 40 million. 40, make it 42. And the two.
Starting point is 00:13:01 And the two is the milk. The two is to add that shit on too. Yo, he's a Chase got. and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two and the two

Starting point is 00:13:15 and the two and the two and the two and the two Well, I asked you, you made me sit out of training camp and you had plenty of time. You had ample, ample time to understand what you had at your disposal. You know what you get in the long run. You know what you get. Because I didn't gave you a sample side of three years.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Okay. I know I might have two more years on my deal, but sometimes you just know. Now I got one more now. So come on. Come on. And if you, and if hold on if you want to play again do me a favor don't franchise tag me let me play one more and let me go show you i can get 60 some more i'm not coming there ain't nothing you could do you told me you told me
Starting point is 00:13:57 you was gonna take care of me after this one i played out now you won't see my black ass if you don't if you don't pay me my money this time around. And we ain't finna play because we finna clock it. And I ain't talking about no. Higgins about to bounce on you. So go out there and try to play without me and Higgins. Yeah, period. All apparently is not well with the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:14:19 According to Brandon Graham, the team's longest tenured member, the relationship between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown is strained. The person that's complaining, Brown, needs to be accountable. I'm just being honest. He knows this. I don't know how the whole story, but I know that Hurts is trying, and Brown could be a little better with how he responds to things. They're friends before, but things have changed.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Graham later apologized, said, I made a mistake. I didn't add to it in good apologized, said I made a mistake. I didn't add, I didn't add to it in good light. So that's my bad. I think that, see, here's the thing. When you say, when they ask AJ Brown,
Starting point is 00:14:54 we need, what do you need to improve in? A quarterback. Who's the only one that can throw the ball, Ocho? So how, how, how is the media, how is everybody going to take gonna take that well that's not how he made it
Starting point is 00:15:08 if somebody if if they ask carson uh what can we do better uh route running and getting over me who are you talking about right right listen we all know what you mean but that's not how we understand his frustration we understand his gripes Matter of fact, Ocho You know Ocho, right? Yeah, Ocho Listen, if any of you in the chat I don't know if you've had an opportunity to see it And Sean, he showed a description of plays
Starting point is 00:15:40 A description of plays And these are bang bang plays That are just basic fundamentals of the game of football having anticipatory skills as a quarterback at the quarterback position being able to get your number one your number one player to target based on what you see what your pre-read is as a quarterback and i listen it was five or six plays where one two three boom get the ball out and let it go know, it's like in that specific game that we talk about where I could understand where the frustrations come from with A.J. Brown. I'm like, well, okay, now I see it.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Now I see it, now I understand. But you don't do it the way you did it, not with the media. That's something you go to your quarterback. You go to your quarterback, you tell him, you put it back, I need you to do me a small favor. A.J. Brown, if you see this. That's all I'm saying. I need you to do me a small favor.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Young Bull, when we come to the line of scrimmage and you see this, I need you to do me a small favor. Young Bull, when we come to the line of scrimmage and you see a certain cover and you see that receiver off, if you see him press at any point and you see that safety
Starting point is 00:16:32 and the safety is in the middle of the field or he's shaded just a little bit to the hash and I know I can beat him over the top, I need you to give me a chance. I need you to give me a chance.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Please. Put him aside aside have that conversation but don't do it this way because now all eyes on Jalen Hurts now all eyes in the pressure while you're winning
Starting point is 00:16:54 you're winning let me add that uh your team is winning and it comes and it's gonna come off wait comes off as being selfish
Starting point is 00:17:03 it's gonna be you know comes off as being selfish oh Comes off as being selfish. Oh, hell no. And I don't think he's selfish. I think he's a competitor. He wants to contribute. I think he realizes that in order for us to get to where we need to be,
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm going to have to catch more than three or four balls. Devontae's going to have to catch more than three balls. But like you said, maybe Jalen just didn't see the field yesterday maybe that happens sometimes Ocho we don't see the ball well we bobble some stuff and we don't catch it clean like we
Starting point is 00:17:36 want to but it's Jalen has a tough job I'm not trying to excuse him but I just believe in a situation like that I'm going to go to him and help. Check this out, Ocho. Donovan McNabb weighed in on A.J. Brown's
Starting point is 00:17:51 potential frustration with Jalen Hurts. It's two grown men. If you got an issue, you come to me. Let's not go through the media because now it blows up and now what you said is out there in front of everybody. NTO responded. Now, this is interesting coming from you. Now, not how I interpret it, but it's funny thing is I agree with you on the idea of it.
Starting point is 00:18:12 If you have an issue with someone that you go to them, not the media. But here's the thing. I never had an issue with you, but it's known that you had an issue with me. So maybe you should have taken your own advice here. Oh, yeah. And we might have won the Super Bowl 39. But that's another story for another day. Just my two cents.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Number 317. You talk about the jacket. I like that. You gave yours. I'm giving mine. Hey, T.O., T.O. and Goddamn McNabb, they're going to be like Claude and Ray. They're going to be like. Nuh-uh.
Starting point is 00:18:50 They're going to be the Hatfields and the McCoys. Right. They ain't Claude and Ray, because Claude and Ray was best friends.

Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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 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. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. In the fall of 1986,
Starting point is 00:23:29 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... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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,
Starting point is 00:24:21 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Rams pull off the upset of the week. The Rams defeat the Bills in a week 14 thriller as the team combined for 12 touchdowns, 86 points,
Starting point is 00:24:47 zero turnovers, and if I'm not mistaken, no sacks. Josh Allen is the second player in NFL history to record three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdowns in the same game. He joins Hall of Famer
Starting point is 00:25:01 Otto Graham of the Cleveland Browns, pulled off the feat when the Browns defeated. They won 56-10 in the NFL championship game over the Lions. The Bills allowed scores on six and nine possessions. The rush defense allowed 94 yards rushing in the first half. And the team's lead leading 14-game streak of at least one takeaway ended. Ocho, are you concerned about the Bills now? You know what?
Starting point is 00:25:33 I'm really not concerned about the Bills. Honestly, I'm not concerned about the Bills. If they were going to have a game like this, let's get it out of the way now. Obviously, the Rams' offense has always been high-powered. Cooper and the Cougars are just coming back and just getting into rhythm way now obviously the rams offense has always been high power coogan coogan coogan the cool are just coming back and just getting into rhythm as far as the offense is concerned so you got a glimpse of what they can do when they are fully healthy so i'm not really concerned you know with mcdermott and the bills i think they're going to be fine if you look at the number josh allen put
Starting point is 00:26:00 up today no turnovers right no turnovers, right? No turnovers today. But he played very, very well for a quarterback that needs, if quarterback that needs to win a game. Defensively, they gave up, what, six to nine, six to nine possessions? Yeah. Now, that's the back end. That's not on Josh Allen.
Starting point is 00:26:20 That's not on the Bills. That can be fixed because the Bills defense is good. Outside of that, I think this is the game that got away from him. It is an upset. I consider it a goddamn trap game. I consider it a trap game. But if you're going to lose, let's get it out.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Let's get it out of our system now. Let's get it out of our system now. So we're going to fix whatever we need to fix before we get to the goddamn playoffs. You know what I think about the thing that I think that, look, Tom, when I think about Tom Brady, I think the thing that's most impressive about him is not, yeah, the Super Bowl, I don't want to say the most, yeah, seven Super Bowls are impressive.
Starting point is 00:26:56 All the records that he has are very impressive. But Tom understood early on in the game what type of game it was going to be. It was going to be. It was going to be. He knew that early, too. Early. And so knowing that, he knew that, you know what, guys?
Starting point is 00:27:14 We can't have, we can't settle for field goals, and we can't miss possessions where we come up empty-handed. Remember, Buffalo spotted him 2014. Right. So you put spotted him 24-10. So you put yourself behind the eight ball. So now you've got a hope and your defense is already struggling. The likelihood of your defense shutting them down twice will
Starting point is 00:27:34 allow you to get back in the game. And then when you got it, you didn't get a touchdown. You got a field goal. Yeah. So you got it. You're going to have to he's going to have to be mindful of that. And that's the thing when i'm talking about joe joe joe is is that he knows his defense is terrible at least at least josh like man this is an anomaly my defense hadn't played this bad all year yeah we haven't played
Starting point is 00:27:57 this bad all year joe knows his from from the man we we to suck this year. I got to be. No, for real talk, Ocho. Man, look here. Not only can I not turn it over. Ocho, guess what? I've got to score damn near every possession. Because if we go down, if we get the ball first and we don't score,
Starting point is 00:28:22 when I come back on the field, we're going to be down points. The question is how many? Is it going to be three or is it going to be seven? But we're going to be down points. The question is, how many? Is it going to be three or is it going to be seven? But we're going to be down points, Ocho. And Josh, I mean, look. I mean, what? He had 420-something yards of total offense just by himself, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:28:38 Crazy work. Six touchdowns. Crazy work. And but yeah. You put up numbers like that, you're supposed to win the game. You're supposed to win. You should. But you can't spot a team.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Ocho, you can't spot a team now. You got to realize you're on the road. You spot a team 14, you're going to catch hell coming. Oh, trying to come back? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. Especially if your defense is struggling like they were struggling today.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Mm-hmm. But Ocho said he's not concerned. Josh Allen. Nah. I still think he's the MVP frontrunner. But Saquon is right there on his heels. Josh Allen was 22 of 37, 342, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, no sacks. He led them in rushing, 10 carries, 82 yards, another three touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Shakira was five for 106 in the tub. Amari Cooper played extremely well, six for 95, but he did have 14 targets, Ocho. Matthew Stafford was equally as impressive, 23 30 320 two touchdowns zero sacks zero interceptions hook in the core 12 buck 62 one touchdown cooper cup 590 92 one touchdown two two uh three for 45 two two two two Miami's finest Dade County Liberty City legend yeah
Starting point is 00:30:07 that's the look when I go to a game that's the kind of game I want to see I ain't gonna lie I ain't gonna tell my defense and big heads
Starting point is 00:30:12 damn the big heads I want to see some points on the board I go to a baseball game I want to see 12-11 I want to see 10-9 I ain't coming to see no 2-1
Starting point is 00:30:19 I ain't coming to see 1-0 I'm not a purist I want scores I want points NBA I want you to see y'all get up and down I want to see one nothing. I'm not a purist. I want scores. I want points. NBA, I want you to see y'all get up and down. I want to see a 135 to 130, 131, 133. I want points.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I ain't trying to see no 85, 90, 85 to 92 ball game. I ain't no purist like that. I want to see points because that's where it's headed. That's what I've grown accustomed to. So now don't pick the game that I come to. Now all of a sudden y'all gonna play defense and I gotta watch a 10-7 ball game or
Starting point is 00:30:51 a 10-9 ball game. Nah, that ain't what I'm here for. The Vikings beat the Falcons. The who? The Vikings. Well, Sam Donner earned himself a contract, boy. It might not be with the Vikings, but he earned a contract with somebody. But go ahead. The Vikings beat the Falcons.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Now you're about to be hyped now. The Vikings beat the Falcons 42-20 behind Sam Donner's first five-touchdown game. The win was the sixth in a row for Kevin O'Connell's club, who improved to 11-2. Kirk Cousins in his last four games, zero touchdowns, eight INTs. Ocho. Sit him down. Sit his ass down.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Ocho, is it time? Now, they're only one game back. They're one game back at Tampa. Is it time for them to sit Cousins down and play Penix Junior? Junior. Understanding the business and how the business Cousins down and play Penix Junior. Understanding
Starting point is 00:31:46 the business and how the business works and based on what Kirk Cousins has done in his resume from the past, they're probably going to keep playing him because they're only one game back from Tampa. If it was me, if I was the coach, if my name was Mr. was, um,
Starting point is 00:32:01 damn, what's the head coach's last name? Oh. Oh, you're talking about Atlanta Fal listen i was about to say uh uh domico by accident listen if i was raheem listen if we won game back and he playing like that i'm gonna switch to pennix anyway even though pennix doesn't have the experience that goddamn Kirk has. And Kirk has the goddamn experience, and he playing like that, well, hell, I might as well take the goddamn loss.
Starting point is 00:32:30 If we're going to lose and lose this way, I'm going to lose with my rookie. He gets to get his own experience. I'm going to lose with my first pick, my eighth pick in the goddamn draft. Man, Kirk Cousins, what is you doing, boy? Do you need LASIK or something? Well, he playing.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Maybe he needs LASIK. He playing bad. I don't know what it is. He playing bad,? He playing. Maybe he needs LASIK. He playing bad. I don't know what it is. He playing bad, don't you? Ain't no way around it. He playing bad. You can't throw four interceptions last week, right? You can't throw four interceptions.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Then you go back. You watch film. You practice all week long and come back the next week and then throw some motherfucking more. Something ain't right. You trying to throw the game? You betting? You betting somewhere? Something ain't right?
Starting point is 00:33:14 Come on now. What you doing? Like you guys, we have a playoff opportunity at hand. You know, we think well enough to, I mean, actually the NFC South is motherfucking horrible. It is. Honestly. Think about it. That's why everybody has a chance.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Raheem did say, Raheem Moore is the head coach. Raheem did say that Cousins is their starting quarterback after the game. Oh, you know, coaches lie all the time. Coaches and owners lie all the time. I mean, didn't Dave Kanellis just say that
Starting point is 00:33:45 before he benched Bryce Young? Did he say that? You know, in the next day? What happened? Or maybe a few hours later? Oh, Sam. I mean, not Sam. Bryce.
Starting point is 00:33:54 God damn it. He benched Bryce and put in Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, listen, you take anything coaches and owners say with a grain of salt. With a grain of salt. Now, I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow morning,
Starting point is 00:34:11 tomorrow morning or maybe Tuesday in the off day, they make a change and a statement comes out, Penning Jr. is now the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. I would be very surprised they did that because considering they're only one game back. If they were, you know, a couple of games back, I see you make that because still Tampa has to play. Tampa has to go to play the Cowboys. They got a tough
Starting point is 00:34:33 schedule. It's not like they, you know. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Timeout, timeout, timeout. Did you hear what you just said? What you just said don't even go together. You said you just said Tampa still got go together. You just said Tampa still got to play the Cowboys. They got a tough schedule.
Starting point is 00:34:49 They got some games on the schedule that... How about you mention the tough game, don't mention the Cowboys. How about that? There's no disrespect to them. They got the Chargers. They got the Chargers next week.
Starting point is 00:35:05 That's a good game. The week after that Sunday night, they got the Cowboys. On the 29th, they got the Panthers. And on the 5th, they got the Saints. And you know what's funny?
Starting point is 00:35:21 The Saints are playing really bad right now. You know what's funny? The Panthers are making it a game no matter who they're playing. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. Let's say that. We're going to talk about that because we got some words for legit. For legit.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I ain't going to jump the gun. Oh, you're talking about Xavier. Leg it. Leg it. Leg it. Sam Donald and the Vikings haven't discussed the long-term deal. They're not. They just drafted a quarterback with a top 10 pick. What are we discussing? No. Yeah, but it's a good thing, though, huh?
Starting point is 00:35:51 It's a good thing for Sam because his resume, the other teams that need a quarterback. The other teams that need a quarterback. So he's setting himself up beautifully. The only problem is, depending on where you go, you ain't going to have no goddamn Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison at your mother's disposal. And Hawkinson.
Starting point is 00:36:06 But that's what matters. And Aaron Jones. The fact that. Oh, man. But don't get me started. Buyer. Buyer. This is not to take away anything from you.
Starting point is 00:36:18 He's played. Don't mess up his bag. Don't mess up his bag. He's played extremely well. Yeah. He is. there's no denying that but I hope you got similar weapons I ain't saying you gotta have those exact weapons
Starting point is 00:36:35 but you better have close to him boy it ain't too many like 18 and 3 out there now too many out there like 18-3. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be at Washington. I don't think I'm not surprised
Starting point is 00:36:56 that Minnesota is not making a long-term deal. Now, if they didn't have a quarterback, if they hadn't taken a quarterback in the top 10, okay, yeah. Yeah. Whenever they took J.J. McCarthy, okay, I get that they hadn't taken a quarterback in the top 10 okay yeah yeah or whenever they took JJ McCarthy okay I get that but I got a quarterback that's that's a first round pick that
Starting point is 00:37:11 I believe is the quarterback of the future why am I gonna give this man a long-term deal a 40 I mean 40 million dollars 40 million dollars wait a minute good question I got a question for you real quick JJ McCarthy what was his injury again? What is his foot?
Starting point is 00:37:27 A kid. Was it his foot? It might have been. It might have been. It might have been. I'm not sure what it was. Don't start me lying. I want to say, OK, it was a low.
Starting point is 00:37:36 It was a lower leg. So I don't I don't know if it was a ACL. I don't know if it was a foot. I'm not sure. Because he's so young, do you think they need to have security with the way Sam Darnold is playing? Do you think they can rely on J.J. McCarthy to be the quarterback? I'm not having no $40 million insurance policy.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Okay. Okay. I'm just curious. I just want to know, Chad, what y'all think, Chad? Should the Minnesota Vikings pay Sam Darnold so they have a sense of security once J.J. McCarthy comes back? He tore his meniscus. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:38:12 That's not bad. And he's young. And that's probably his first serious injury. That's not an ACL. That's not a PCL. That's not an Achilles. That's not a patella tendon. Knock on wood.
Starting point is 00:38:27 I mean, obviously, any injury is. All injuries are minor when they're major as long as they're on somebody else. On you, they're major. On somebody else, they're minor. But he didn't, like I said, he didn't have, you know, they erred on the side of caution. They're like, we got Sam Donald. We got a guy that's been in the league. We got a guy that we believe
Starting point is 00:38:48 we can win with, with the talent that we surrounded him with. You know, you got Jetta. You got Addison. You got Hawkinson. You got Aaron Jones. Son, if you don't turn the ball over, if you don't turn the ball over, with the defense, the Brian Flores got that defense flying around,
Starting point is 00:39:04 we'll be okay. You just got to make sure. Well, see, that's the good thing. The Brian Floyd's got that defense flying around. We'll be okay. You just got to make sure. Well, see, that's the good thing. See, that's the good thing. Maybe it's not a bad deal. You sign into a short-term deal. It don't have to be for five years. It could be two. It could be two, three years. Listen, allow J.J. McCarthy to continue to develop
Starting point is 00:39:20 behind him one more year because he hadn't had a chance to develop yet. J.J. McCarthy was going to be a starter. You don't want to throw him out there, huh? After coming off an injury, though. They was going to throw him out there out of college. He was the starter. Yeah, but now you're behind eight ball times two
Starting point is 00:39:37 because now not only do you not, you don't have a year under your belt, you don't have a year under your belt, and you're coming back with an injury on top of that. So it's even worse. Let me ask you a question. How that looking for the Falcons? They gave Kirk Cousins all that money, and you got
Starting point is 00:39:49 Michael Pennington. So how they looking for them? Now you just said, they need to sit Cousins down. But he got 80 million of their dollars over the first, no, he got 112 million over the first three years. Okay, well, he got 112 million over the first three years, and he well, he got $112 million over the first three years,
Starting point is 00:40:06 and he got eight picks in the last two games. You making my point for me now. You know that, right? But Sam Donner ain't throwing no goddamn interceptions, though. But I'm saying that before he got on this streak, neither was Cousins. Remember how they was? I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:40:28 that's a very expensive insurance policy. Considering that, when you took J.B.J. McCarthy, he was going to be your starter. You were very impressed with him. Do I believe Donald has played his way into a contract for some team? Yes. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Yes. I just don't believe it's Minnesota.

Starting point is 00:45:11 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. presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. No one was let go. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General —
Starting point is 00:45:33 I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, 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. Carolina had a 16-14 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Even as the Eagles reclaimed the lead, Young led the Panthers on a final drive. Looked for a brief moment like he had won the game. Xavier Leggett appeared to catch the ball in the end zone, second down with 52 seconds left, but it turned out it was an incomplete pass as the Panthers fell short on third and fourth downs. Think about what that would have done for a young quarterback. 98 yards. One of the top teams in the NFC.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Ocho, we're on the road. Yeah. At some point, okay, Ocho and I gave you a pass because you dropped that one and you did this and you said you got to be a better job. Now, I'm tired of hearing my fault. I'm tired of hearing my bad. We'll get them next time. Well, I'm tired of hearing my fault. I'm tired of hearing my bad. We'll get him next time.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Well, that was the next time. Why you diving for a ball? Oh, Charlie, I do it. He's run. He diving for a ball he doesn't need to dive for. Right. It's comfortability. Confidence
Starting point is 00:47:20 is not where it should be. I'm a little unsure of myself. I'm unsure of my hands. So I want to try to get it into my body. That's why you see guys jump. I'm like, bro, why you jump for a ball that's going to hit you in your chest and you catch it in your bread basket? Because I'm unsure.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Yeah. So I want to try to get as big a target in front of it as I possibly can, Ocho. Possibly can, yeah. Oh, Ocho, can you imagine what this would have done not only for Bryce Young, but for this team? They go 98 yards on the road. To win the game and upset the best team in the NFC. Well, that's an argument, but that's debatable.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Back to the Eagles. What's going on with the Eagles? I mean, you're going to have games like this. You're going to have games like this. You got two alphas. One of the few teams in the NFL, and I say this all the time, that have two number ones on their team, no matter what people may say. Two receivers, two different seal sets. They get it done two different kind of ways, but it's two number ones. You got two
Starting point is 00:48:29 alphas in Devontae Smith and A.J. Brown, but you're going to have games like this. They need to understand that. You're going to have games, but you don't have the numbers you want to get, no matter what you do. Jalen Hurts is going to have games like this where the numbers are low, where you're playing against a team that you think you're supposed to beat. The Carolina Panthers ain't no goddamn slouch no more. They're playing well against everybody they play to this point, if you're paying attention to them. Bryce Young is playing his ass off.
Starting point is 00:48:56 That defense is playing his ass off, which is why the numbers were as low as they were today. There's a reason why. You're going to have games like this, AJ. Devontae Smith. I know it's about being on the same page. You can be on the same page and no matter which way you flip, if the other team has your number, it ain't going to work.
Starting point is 00:49:14 It's nothing you can do. You know what's going to happen next year? You know what's going to happen next year, y'all? The motherf***ing Eagles are going to go out there and they're going to have a field day in the passing game. They're going to have a field day in the passing game. They're going to have a field day in the passing game. It was Saquon's day today. It's going to be games like this.
Starting point is 00:49:30 I've had games like this. TJ and I have had games where we play on a team. Oh, man, we're going to go out there and have 400 yards, 20 yards a piece receiving. And it's going to be nothing like that. But I understood game to game. It always varies and it always changes. You get to a game,
Starting point is 00:49:48 everybody say, AJ, you know what? Number 11? Well, he ain't catching nothing today. We don't care what you do. We gonna let Saquon beat us. If he do it, it's okay, but 11, you ain't getting nothing. There's some team that will do that and don't care. Nothing about it. AJ saying, you keep saying it be games like this,
Starting point is 00:50:03 but I see Saquon got 900 yard game, so why he ain't had no games like this? AJ saying, I see three catches, I see four catches, like in the last six weeks, I be, I say three, four, five catches. What am I supposed to do with that? Can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? AJ
Starting point is 00:50:21 Brown and Devontae Smith, you understand you motherf***ers are so goddamn great. The reason Saquon Barkley is still getting the numbers he's getting because he ain't seen no goddamn eight, nine man box because you niggas is on the field. Excuse my language. I'm sorry. My bad. My bad. My bad. I'm just getting a little passionate. That's how good you are. That's a testament to you. That's why he get the numbers he getting because they still W anyway. That's why you only had 40 something yards a day you know what
Starting point is 00:50:48 if we gonna lose a day it ain't gonna be by number 11 it ain't gonna be by number 6 we gonna let 26 get his numbers we gonna let him do what he do are you surprised that they voiced their displeasure in the manner in which they did
Starting point is 00:51:04 because you know when you say we need to prove at passing, you know me on the same page, you know who that points back at, right? Yeah. Yeah, a little bit. I don't think they at that moment in that present time and moment understand it though. Emotional. Think about Jordan Addison.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Free me. Speaking out vocally about one the ball look at this mother now jesus christ ever since he said something look at jordan addison going hey i'm going crazy you know what let's find ways to put little young bull in position to make the plays so next week what is the offensive coordinator gonna do all right you know the young Bulls are upset right now out there in Philly. Let's find creative ways to move around and have special design plays
Starting point is 00:51:51 within the 15-play script. And the next game we got coming up, let's find ways to get in the ball. Get in the ball early. Let them feel and touch the ball early so we got them the whole game. They're going to be all right though they're gonna be right you you've seen this before i've seen it before hell i've been there before
Starting point is 00:52:09 you know so i i understand it i understand it but right now you're winning baby you're winning so they might say there's no room for it but your alphas need to touch the goddamn rock you got to make them feel like they are part of the offense you got to make them feel like they're a part of the offense you got to make them feel like they're contributing to the success in helping the team win that's all I think what what is happening is that it's tough
Starting point is 00:52:36 when y'all don't get the ball early AJ didn't get a ball thrown his way into the waning moments of the first half that's too long. I don't care if Saquon is going eight bananas. Come on, bro. You can't let me go 20 minutes, 25 minutes, and don't give me a rock.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Listen, offensive coordinators have to be self-aware. Yeah, yeah. They have to be self-aware. You know that. You understand the type of player you have. You understand the type of dog you have at that position. He's different. You understand and know how
Starting point is 00:53:11 he's built. You understand his DNA. You know how he is. Just let him touch it. It ain't got to be nothing crazy. It could be a slant. God damn it, just throw me a smoke. Throw a smoke screen. Boom, just get it out to me. Let me get jiggy with it. He going to be okay.
Starting point is 00:53:27 He good. But to wait 15 minutes and towards the end of the first quarter and then he get a ball? Yeah, it's tough. Come on, man. It's tough. And, you know, the frustration starts to build.
Starting point is 00:53:37 And, you know, look, people look at the Carolina like, man, they sorry. And then before you know it, you don't let them be in the game. And now they playing with confidence. And now you don't have confidence because you're not doing the thing that you thought you was going to be doing because you see them on film.
Starting point is 00:53:50 But the Carolina team that y'all probably watched at the beginning of, y'all watching tape on them, that's a different team. It's not the same. That you watched the last three to four weeks now. That's not the same team. The Saints beat the Giants on a blocked field goal. Giants fans have had enough of losing. Even before they saw the team drop
Starting point is 00:54:10 an eight straight game, a plane flew over MetLife Stadium with the banner imploring ownership to get it together. Mr. Marr, enough. Please fix this dumpster fire. Then the team went out there and found a different way to lose.
Starting point is 00:54:23 This time, getting the game-time field goal blocked in the final seconds of a 14-11 loss. Maher declined when asked about the playing. Why you declined when asked about the playing? When they asked you about Kaepernick, you offered a lot of info. Never mind. We ain't going to go there, Joe. These Giants are 2-11 and now have missed the playoffs 11 of the past
Starting point is 00:54:46 13 seasons. The Giants fell to 0-7 at home this season. They're averaging 10.1 per game at home. Neighbors said
Starting point is 00:54:55 they asked neighbors about that. He's like, hey, I ain't played for the plane. Don't ask me. I ain't played for the plane. I didn't pay for the play he's funny
Starting point is 00:55:07 he's funny listen, Giant fans, y'all might as well y'all might as well chalk this season up, cause next year you're gonna have a nice quarterback, you're gonna have a nice shiny toy I don't know who it's gonna be I don't know who it's gonna be, but it's gonna know who it's going to be, but it's going to be a nice new shiny toy.
Starting point is 00:55:27 And I know a guy that, I know a guy that had on a roster that was, that's playing really well right now. What was this? Quarterback Gino Smith. Oh yeah. You know, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:39 they, they, they, they, they believe in the young bull. You know, sometimes it take, it takes for you going to somewhere for someone to see your true value. It takes young bull. You know, sometimes it takes for you going to somewhere
Starting point is 00:55:45 for someone to see your true value. It takes sometimes you get these greener patches on the other side. Baker Mayfield, Sam Donald, Geno Smith. Geno wasn't going to be that in New York because they didn't have DK. They didn't have Jackson Smith and Jigba. They didn't have Lockett.
Starting point is 00:56:04 They don't have Noah Fant. They don't have a guy that can run the ball like Walker. They don't have Carbino. Charbino. Carbino. And look, their defense is better than you would think. Now, are they the Legion of Boom? No. But the defense is playing
Starting point is 00:56:19 really, really well. And quarterbacks, I mean, look, he got guys that can make plays all over the field for him. It's really that simple. And so I'm glad he's not in New York because they still say the guy can't play and sometimes you need to get somewhere where you got some weapons.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Now, he's not a guy, he's not Brady. There have been very few guys that can elevate players. No matter who the player is, he can elevate them. But Geno got to a place that they believed in it, and they got a DK, they got a Jackson Smith and Jigba, they got Lockett, they got Fant, they got skilled position
Starting point is 00:56:53 players, don't you, that can go make plays. Same thing with Baker. He got in a situation at Tampa and, well, we saw at Carolina, he had nothing. The couple was better. It was even better than what it is right now but he got some plays that guys
Starting point is 00:57:10 can make plays for him and he's playing exceptionally well Sam Darnold he got guys that can make plays I mean should we be surprised that he didn't make it in Carolina and Baker didn't make it in Carolina no right because they didn't have anything there there's a reason why they got the first pick in the draft.
Starting point is 00:57:26 There's a reason why they got the second pick in the draft. They traded that to get the first pick. And there's a reason why the following year they had the first pick. They had to live that away because Chicago traded in the first pick the year before when they were second. But, no. Can't happen to a night. Hey, I wonder.
Starting point is 00:57:43 He said, you know, the fans, we got to make sure the fans, you know, cause you know, the fans were not coming because of the anthem. I wonder how many fans showing up now. They standing for the anthem. He had nothing to do with no goddamn anthem,
