Ochoa, as we talked about earlier, the Jets beat the Texans 21-13. The New York overcame several inflicted mistakes to snap a five-game losing streak, handed the Houston Texans their second loss in three games. Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes at the Jets' end of their losing streak at five games. In the first half, Jets' Malachi Corley dropped the ball before crossing the end line.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Dumb, dumb. That would have been a 19-yard rush touchdown. And the ball touched back because it rolled out of the end zone. J.J. Watt had this to say on Aaron Rodgers. Is this a joke? He was talking about him. Aaron was talking about he's drinking cayenne pepper in water. I think that's what he was. That's what he was.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Cayenne pepper and water. And J.J. is like, basically, bro, we keep talking about y'all. And you're talking about cayenne pepper and water. Score some touchdowns. Win some games. Because this is what you're in New York for. And to make matters worse for the Texans, they lost this game, which is their second in three weeks, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:06:50 They also learned that Stephon Diggs suffers a season-ending ACL injury. So Stephon Diggs is gone. Remember, they've been without Nico Collins for like the last three weeks. Tank Dale stepped up big tonight, but it wasn't enough. CJ hadn't been playing well, Ocho. He hasn't been playing well. There's no way around it. And the offensive line is getting killed.
Starting point is 00:07:15 But tonight, he was 11 of 30, 191 yards, eight sacks for 56 total yards. Go ahead. So, okay, CJ not playing well, right? Yes. The O-line is abysmal. They're horrible. They're playing really bad.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Not only is the O-line horrible, you lose digs. Nico Cullen is out. There's nothing wrong with Robert Woods. There's nothing wrong with Macy. There's nothing wrong with Tank Dale. Tank Dale had a good night. I think he had six or seven eight catches for $126 a night. But it's different when you don't have them horses but it's different when you don't have them horses
Starting point is 00:07:45 it's different we don't have them horses it's different and then the old line's not playing well there's really nobody you can actually count on to get open for you there's no security blanket so this is what you get tonight this is what you get tonight and then on the opposite side finally the jets show some promise finally aaron rogers sold some promise yes late in the game because the first half was horrible boy yeah he had 32 passing yards first half was a doozy from both sides of the ball you know goddamn stroud sack seven eight times eight aaron rogers missing missing missing shots easy shots that him and davante normally hit on yeah but davante dropped one he had he had him against the uhingley Jr. He dropped that one.
Starting point is 00:08:25 That was just a drop. Yeah, he did drop that one. But I think in order for them to get on the same pace, they got to be able to hit shots like they hit tonight and get themselves into a rhythm. And Aaron Rodgers does this.
Starting point is 00:08:37 He plays bad, plays bad, plays bad, plays bad. And then all of a sudden, he'll go into a spurt. We look like, oh, there's the magic. There's what we've been waiting for from you. This is what it should look look like this is what we have to look forward to and i don't know who they play next week so it's only two only two things can happen either they're
Starting point is 00:08:53 going to continue to get better and improve offensively or they're going to regress and go back to what we saw the previous five weeks yeah i think the thing is for me ocho when i look at cj and knowing the offensive line isn't playing well you can't make every play. You see he's spinning out, trying to spin out and he's losing yards, getting sacked. It's okay to throw the ball away in the direction of you have a receiver.
Starting point is 00:09:16 Because one time you got sacked and you end up pushing your kicker back and he missed the field goal. Now, I'm not so sure that four yards that he lost on the sack would have helped because hell, when he left the kicker's foot, hell, I could tell it was off. So unless they expand the goal post to be the width of the end zone, that kick wasn't going to be any good anyway. But he just has to understand, Ocho, knowing that,
Starting point is 00:09:38 and maybe they have to shorten up some of these routes. My offensive line isn't good right now. I don't know if it's injuries or they're just playing bad, but you got to shorten up these routes because you're not going to have time to let something develop down the field playing behind this offensive line. Go ahead. And not only that, I'm not sure the offensive coordinator is. The offensive coordinator is for the Houston Texans,
Starting point is 00:10:01 but without Nico Collins, without Stephon Diggs, I'm thinking the whole three-step, five-step drop, the play-action passes, you need to eliminate that from the playbook until you can figure out what you want to do. Condense the splits, put people in motion, find ways to get them, find ways to scheme them open because you don't have those horses. You don't have your Stephon Diggs, You don't have your Nico Collins. You do have Ting Dale. Now, I'm not saying nothing is wrong. There's nothing wrong with Robert Woods
Starting point is 00:10:30 or Meaty, but you got to be a little bit more creative to help your quarterback out. It shouldn't look like that. Tonight, it shouldn't look like that. The CJ Shroud we saw last year, it shouldn't regress to this point,
Starting point is 00:10:46 and we shouldn't be able to use injuries for it. So what the offensive coordinator has to do, he has to manipulate the offense so CJ Stroud can still be efficient. You've got to change some things up. If your personnel is different on the outside of the receiving position, then you have to do something different. You've got to play to their strengths on what they do well. Don't try to run the same offense. We don't have an ego Collins
Starting point is 00:11:05 out there. You don't have a step on digs. You got to change it up when they got when the Jets hit the center knowing that the center is protected and they got I didn't like the play selection two runs and then a pass and CJ and CJ was
Starting point is 00:11:21 off because he had met you. Now I don't know if he felt the pressure or he just missed him Ocho but he had Mechie on the whip route and he had at least the first down and who knows if he makes the guy miss maybe he has a touchdown but we know he's beyond the first down
Starting point is 00:11:37 he's beyond the line to gain the first down but that's what happens when you get hit early and you get hot often, you start seeing things, even if it's not there. And so that's why you try to get to the quarterback early to impact him for later.
Starting point is 00:11:53 And it definitely showed his head tonight. And again, CJ was 11 of 3,491 yards. He got sacked eight times. Give this Jeff defense credit. They got after him tonight. You know, you know, it's funny. They ran after him tonight. You know what's funny?
Starting point is 00:12:08 They ran the ball well. Yeah, they were running the ball 36 rushes a buck 87. They ran the ball real well. J.J. Taylor had three for 23. C.J. on scrambles with eight of 59. And Joe Mixon was 24 for a buck. Was 24 for a buck 06.
Starting point is 00:12:23 So, four and a half yards of carry for Mixon. Like I said, he ran the ball extremely well. He's played well all year long, except for that couple of weeks that he missed with that hip drop tackle. But other than that, I think he's been unbelievable. He's been one of the bright spots, one of their most consistent players. Right. And matter of fact, in the fact that you say that, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:43 Joe being so consistent and playing very well, I'm still trying to understand why we let him go out there in Cincinnati. I think the price, I think, you know, teams don't want to play. Because think about it. You're already taking a pay cut. Yeah, but true. I agree. Because think about
Starting point is 00:13:00 it. Derrick Henry took a pay cut because he was making 12. They took him all the way down to eight and derrick henry was still giving you great production i mean this is a bark that that was a bargain for the raven first of all he'd have been a bargain for anybody he'd been a bargain for anybody eight million dollars because he's derrick henry you know what he's gonna get he's gonna get to 1200 hell he's at what nine what, what? Eight, 46, 900 now? So... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:25 He actually had 946. Okay, he had 946. So you know he's going to get you. On a bad year, he's going to get you 1,200. On a great year, he's going to be somewhere 15, 1,600. An exceptional year, he'll get you 2,000. That's what he is. You know that.
Starting point is 00:13:41 And for the most part, he's been fairly doable. Even the season that he missed, he had almost 1,000 yards in like nine games. Yeah. Young Bull is special, man. He is. He's defying things at his age, and I think he's defying things at his age
Starting point is 00:13:58 specifically because of the team he chose to go to. Right. The Jets snap a five-game losing um aaron rogers tosses three touchdown passes uh hit davante in stride davante got nick came back in the game caught a touchdown i'm sure he's good feeling good about that he had 11 targets seven catches 91 yard garrett wilson made two phenomenal catches and sometimes ocho youcho, you know this. When you're struggling, you have to make plays like this to help your quarterback out and to help your team out. Everything is not going to be between the numbers.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Everything's not going to be in a catch radius. So you're going to sometimes, sometimes, when your offense is struggling, you have to make an exceptional play. He made two exceptional plays tonight that really got the jets going offensively. And it seemed to give them a breath of fresh air.
Starting point is 00:14:51 They're like, okay, yeah, we know now we know how to get the ball into the end zone and defensively. They look and defensively. Sometimes you have to have games like, look, we got to go hunt the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Oh, Joe is really that simple. Let's, let's make it as difficult as they possibly can. Let's hold this team down and let our offense get going. And once the Jets offense got going, they played well, but it
Starting point is 00:15:13 took two exceptional catches from Garrett Wilson and sometimes having been in situations like this, it takes exceptional plays to get an offense going. Wait, hold on, hold on. Now, it doesn't always take exceptional plays. Sometimes you can chop
Starting point is 00:15:30 the wood. You chop the wood, chop the wood, chop the wood, chop the wood. It's okay to run the bases instead of trying to hit the home run. No, but I'm saying when you 0-5, chop the wood and you get it done. When you're 0-5 straight, sometimes it just takes an exceptional play to get the
Starting point is 00:15:46 sideline going to get you going as an offensive unit because you're right oh so you know methodically moving down the field you're like man we've done this before we ain't getting nothing to show for it now we got a one-hand spectacular catch where he makes a catch on the run because the guy jets it and he throws it over and he makes a great catch, gets the ball in the end zone. And then on third and 19, Aaron gave him an opportunity to make a play. Now he had to make the play, but a lot of times the quarterback throws the ball out of the end zone. Now the DB jumped way too soon.
Starting point is 00:16:19 I don't know what the hell he thought. He must be thinking he had hang time like Jordan. Held the ball halfway there and he jumped. And so now he coming down in the ball. But give Gary Wilson. Gary Wilson played his tail off tonight. Made some exceptional catches. He was short on the third down.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Got it. Made the guy miss. Got the third down. I thought he played well tonight. I thought Devontae, outside of that drop, I thought he played it really well tonight. But Rodgers gave his guys an opportunity tonight to make plays. Hey, listen. I know they might have lost
Starting point is 00:16:47 the last five and won tonight. But, there's a chance Aaron Rodgers can catch fire tonight. Especially with a game like tonight. There's a chance he can catch fire. I know the first quarter, the second quarter, it was abysmal. I know it was horrible. In the third quarter, they played in spurts. They looked
Starting point is 00:17:03 good. Fourth quarter, it looked a littlemal. I know it was horrible. In the third quarter, they played in spurts. They looked good. Fourth quarter, it looked a little decent. If them goddamn Jets... No, not even the Jets. If Aaron Rodgers plays consistent football, I mean, the AFC East can get a little interesting. I don't know, Ocho, if they can
Starting point is 00:17:20 catch Buffalo. No, I didn't say they can catch Buffalo. Oh, you're talking about make a playoff bid because you're going to take 17. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. All they got to do is play consistent. He can make a little run. I'm just saying, based on what he has around him with Brees Hall, Garrett
Starting point is 00:17:35 Wilson, Devontae Adams. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If they get into any kind of rhythm and get some chemistry and a little confidence, I'm just saying, I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised. Ocho, the news of the day, Young Thug is going home.

I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
Starting point is 00:20:58 It's this idea that there are so many stories out there, and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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?
Starting point is 00:21:52 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 — I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
Starting point is 00:22:16 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 bitch anthony richardson in favor 39 year old joe flacco even though richardson is just 22 years of age 10 games was enough of a sample size to draw the conclusion that the last year number four overall pick hasn't gotten it done jaylen hurst is a prime example of giving a young quarterback an
Starting point is 00:23:04 opportunity to develop hurt said his development isst is a prime example of giving a young quarterback an opportunity to develop. Hurst said his development is why teens should be patient with young quarterbacks. I think things do take time. Things take time and everybody has a different approach to going in. I wasn't supposed to be the guy I am today. Nobody expected that. But I took advantage of my opportunities and that's what i encourage everyone
Starting point is 00:23:26 to do regardless i don't i don't like the move i don't care what nobody's saying i don't like the move it's your number four pick right yeah it's your number four pick now what i think what what i'm saying is happening i don't like the fact that they're benching him for one he didn't play a lot of college football he didn't play a lot of college football he didn't play a lot of college football. He didn't play a lot of college football. He didn't get a lot of snaps. The amount of snaps that needed to be able to come in and transition into the NFL and be prepared. Just being big, strong, fast, and having
Starting point is 00:23:54 an arm is not going to get it done. It's not going to get it done. So the only way to improve in the NFL is with reps. With reps. With reps. He's the future of the franchise. He's the number four quarterback. So the only reason I think they put Flacco in is to save the season.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Do we have a chance to make a run? So what we're going to do is be four and four. I think, well, they are four and four, right? What's the tech? What's their risk? What's the cost? No, I don't know if they're four and four. You don't think so?
Starting point is 00:24:21 I don't know if they run four games, Ocho. They might have. No, I think. They're four and four. They're they might have they're 4-4 they're 500 you're right so what they're doing what Mr. Syken is doing he's making a change because he feels the team has a chance and an opportunity
Starting point is 00:24:35 to make a run at some point Anthony Richardson will be the future of the Colts but right now we're going to put Flacco in because he gives us they think they feel which is to put Flacco in because he gives us they think, they feel, which is true statistically, Flacco gives them the best chance to win right now and compete. And this
Starting point is 00:24:52 is a compete division because the Texans aren't what they were. Jacksonville is very hit or miss. We know where the Titans are. And look, I know people are saying that he tapped out and that's one of the reasons but you got to look at his record oh cho this guy has a worse completion percentage than tim tebow
Starting point is 00:25:11 tim tebow completed 46 of his passes he's completing 46 44 that's four percent lower than jamarcus russell did we think jamarcus Russell and Tim Tebow were good quarterbacks? No, we didn't. And his completion percentage is worse than theirs. He needs time to watch. They put him in too quick when he wasn't ready.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And what happens is, Ocho, is that when you draft someone that high and you draft him at that position, you're not waiting because after the end of the third year, oh, I'm going to have to make a decision. I'm going to have to get these guys $300, $400, $500 million.
Starting point is 00:25:54 I need to see. Right. And in the process of that, because like you said, he didn't play a whole lot of football and he didn't play a whole lot of football in a pro-style offense. Right. A lot of his stuff, he was running the football well you know he said the nfl was easy i can't tell if the nfl is easy and you complete 44 of your passes what the hell you
Starting point is 00:26:16 think would happen if the nfl was hard don't you can i tell you one more thing on yeah that i don't like and i'm just saying chat y'all stay with me quick, real quick. Listen to me when it comes to the game of football. When you're drafted that high, you have expectations, you have friends, you have people telling you this, you that, and you get to the NFL, you get drafted that high, then you plan, you have a certain high,
Starting point is 00:26:37 a certain aura and feeling about yourself when you feel good. You know what it feels like to get benched on? Do you understand what it feels like to get benched on? Do you understand what it feels like to get benched, though? As a quarterback, forget some of the other positions, because some of the other positions, you have an opportunity to bounce back,
Starting point is 00:26:53 and you have an opportunity to make those plays again. But as a quarterback, I think it does something, especially when you're young, it does something to your psyche. I'm assuming. It has to. It has to do something to your psyche. So now, you're telling me I'm playing bad. I'm playing so bad.
Starting point is 00:27:10 You're going to sit me down and bench me for Joe Flacco. So if I do get the opportunity to play again, what's the first fucking thing I'm going to do? I'm going to be goddamn indecisive. Well, hopefully you learn. Hey, I'm going to be hesitant. I'm not going to make the big plays I was making earlier.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I just, I don't know. Give me his last three games. It's weird to me. Like nine and 10 passes. Hopefully, hopefully he gets an opportunity to sit and watch. And then he can come. He said, well, Joe, what if Joe asked him and he can ask Joe, Joe, what did you see? Why did you go there?
Starting point is 00:27:46 Because that's the biggest thing. Oh, Joe, you can't throw 30 passes and complete eight of them in the NFL. You're not going to win like that. Yeah. You know what? And then we can't we can't play in the receivers because they got they got a squad now. Yeah. And they got some
Starting point is 00:28:02 boys now. Listen, normally I would have mentioned receivers, but they got they got some dogs now i i listen normally i would have mentioned receivers but they got they got some dogs that they're jr pitman they got another they got another guy i forget the other guy's name i think he might be no 15 or something but he can go to 10 number 10 okay yeah the name this is like okay i don't know his last name boy that boy be playing some ball boy oh joe yes sir uh against houston in Sunday's loss, he was 10 of 32. In a win against Miami, he was 10 of 24. Pittsburgh, I think that's when Flacco came in, he was 3 of 4.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Against Chicago, he was 10 of 20. Against Green Bay, he was 17 of 34. Against Houston, he was 9 of 19. Ocho, you're not going to win very many games with numbers like that, bro. Not in today's Ocho, because they've set it up for you to throw the ball. Think about the incidental contact.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Think about the holding. Think about roughing the passer. Think about so many things that can go right when you throw the ball. Really, when you run the ball, the only thing that can go wrong or go right for you is somebody face-masking. There's a chance you get a holding on the
Starting point is 00:29:09 offensive line. There's a chance you get a holding on the wide receivers. So there are more things that can go wrong when you run the ball as opposed to when you throw it. Because there's so many things defense illegal
Starting point is 00:29:26 hands to the face why incidental contact holding pass interference right roughing the passer the league has been set up for you to throw it that's why they paid wide receivers making 30 million quarterback making 60 million what does that tell you ocho yeah and running backs making five million so what do they try to tell you to do ocho throw that ball throw it um but i i hope alex that's the name to say alex pierce i hate that man ocho it's okay it's it i mean i I'm saying I only hate it I'm talking about the mental part because when you get benched it does something to you
Starting point is 00:30:09 it's like losing your job and you get demoted in the corporate world you're like damn all the motherfucking work I done put in I'm trying the work I'm putting in is not turning into what it should be on Sundays
Starting point is 00:30:23 then you start questioning yourself what happens when you get fired putting in is not turning into what it should be on Sundays. What am I doing wrong? Then you start questioning yourself. What happens when you get fired? Oh, that's even worse. See, guess what? I got fired from CBS. What'd I do? Go get me a job at Fox. Got fired at Fox. What'd I do? I just get bigger and bigger.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Right, right, right. Because I learned. Yeah. I learned, and that's what he needs to do. He needs to learn. Look, everybody can say, well, he got fired because of this or he got fired because of that. I'll leave that to the Twitter committee
Starting point is 00:30:56 and the YouTube tribe because everybody has an opinion on what they think happened and transpired and nobody really knows because you weren't in the room. Right. Oh, he got fired because of this. Bro, stop. You don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Everybody likes to speculate. I'm like, damn. I didn't know, Ocho. I was this big of a commodity. It seems like now everybody that got a YouTube channel got to talk about me. I appreciate it. You know, Keith, my algorithm keep Ocho and the nightcap and club Shay Shay keep us going.. I appreciate it. You know, Keith's my algorithm. Keep Ocho and the nightcap and club Shay Shay keep on going. So I
Starting point is 00:31:28 appreciate it. But he just needs to take a step back and don't look. You know what? You got to get better. You got to get better. It's really that simple. Got to. You ain't got no choice. But I'm thinking about it. I mean, can you, how do you get
Starting point is 00:31:43 better at the quarterback position? Is it by taking reps? Is it by watching? It depends on what type of player he is. Yes. You know, it depends on what type of player he is. And the funny thing about it is you can do it over and over and over and over and over in practice. But when it comes to them bullets flying on game day, on the real Sunday, it's different.
Starting point is 00:32:03 You do. It's different. You do. Your decision-making has to be on point. You got to be sharper than the number two pencil now. At the end of the day, even though you can rely on your athleticism, you still have to throw the ball from the pocket. And it helps that Mahomes is great at improvisation.
Starting point is 00:32:24 It was great that Aaron Rodgers was great at improvisation, but at the end of the day, they still had to throw the ball with accuracy from the pocket. That athleticism, you can only go so far because them guys, them big guys over there, they can catch your ass. They bounce just as fast.
Starting point is 00:32:40 Yes! They bounce just as fast. Yes! I just hope he takes this, he learns from this, he grows from this, and he becomes the player that they selected him to be with the number four overall draft pick two years ago. And if he does that, don't cry, oh, poor me, I didn't get a fair chance. Bro, you got more than a fair chance.
Starting point is 00:33:04 But they see that they got a chance chance. Bro, you got more than a fair chance. But they see that they got a chance in this division, Ocho. Yeah. That's why they made the change. Yes. That's why they made the change. Coach wide receiver Josh Downs was asking if he thinks he'll play with Anthony Richardson
Starting point is 00:33:19 again. At the end of the day, Joe is like 40 years old. So he's only got so many more years. I'd say AR is 22, 23. He's still the number four overall pick. I know he's going to start again. I agree. I agree. Check this out, Ocho. Does the NFL
Starting point is 00:33:36 have a quarterback development problem? Anthony Richardson, 22. Bench. Bryce Young, 23. Bench. Trey Lance, 24. Bench. Traded. Justin Fields, 25. Bench. Will Le 23, bench. Trey Lance, 24, bench, traded. Justin Fields, 25, bench. Will Levis, 25, bench. Zach Wilson, 25, bench.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Mack Jones, 26, bench. Kenny Pickett, 26, bench. Hey, that's a good one. You know what? Every quarterback you just named, the situation on why they were benched is different. The teams and where the team is structured are completely different. Some of those quarterbacks,
Starting point is 00:34:12 in order to succeed, they would have to be damn near Superman. Yes. They would have to be damn... Bryce Young would have to be Superman. Peyton Manning ain't succeeding in that. People don't realize what Peyton had. He't succeeding in that people don't realize what Peyton had
Starting point is 00:34:26 he had Marvin Harrison and he had Marshall Falk when he got there and he had Ken Dilder yeah it's different and he had what was the other he had another nah he might have
Starting point is 00:34:40 he might have came later I forget the other tight end name but I know Dallas was the way I was done going Nah, he might have came late. I forget the other tight end name. But I know Dallas was the way I was done going. But I'm saying Manning had a nice support system when he arrived there. Think about Marvin Harrison with the first Ballot Hall of Fame. Marshall with the first Ballot Hall of Famer. He's the offensive player of the year. He's an MVP.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Man, look what Bryce Young got. None of these quarterbacks had anything close to that. I'm not sure they even had a Pro Bowl. Well, I think DJ Moore went to the Pro Bowl. So I think Zach Wilson, well, Gary Wilson was
Starting point is 00:35:23 what? Offensive player of the year, Gary Wilson was, what, Offensive Player of the Year. Gary Wilson was Offensive Player of the Year. But for the most part, you got to have some weapons, man. Yeah. For these young guys, you got to surround them with a talent until he's able. So you have to put pieces around him, Ojo,
Starting point is 00:35:42 to carry him until he can able run on his own and he can carry you. He can carry the talent, yes. Right now, oh yeah, Marcus Pollard. That was his name, Marcus Pollard. Okay. Agents are telling kids to stay in college if you don't have at least two years of starting.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Ocho, it's hard because Anthony Richardson probably got $30 million guaranteed and in three years he has an opportunity to make $250 to $300. How you tell a kid to stay in school when that's on the horizon? Yeah. I think it's different though.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Every kid is different. You having to stay in school for two years just because you stay in school two years doesn't mean you're going to transition and all of a sudden it's going to work out. You can stay in school one and go to the league and turn out to be I'm not saying turn out to be
Starting point is 00:36:31 Patrick Mahoney. Have a great season. Joe Burrow started basically one year. Listen, there are some players that are special and understand the skill set and I call it how sharp how sharp they are some some players that take much longer some don't some hit the ground running but ocho you
Starting point is 00:36:51 know what we've got to get out this notion that everybody that comes in the nfl is going to succeed when has that ever been the case it's not ocho it's now that every think about how many other quarterbacks have flamed out. This is not unique. Hey, situation and circumstance matters. Yes. Where you go matters. I really think it does.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I mean, I think the thing is now that we're like, oh, he's a, well, sometimes it's just not meant to be. Everybody that comes to the NFL ain't going to have a, there's a reason why the average NFL career is three years because if everybody made it, the average NFL career would be seven, eight, ten, twelve. There's a reason why.
Starting point is 00:37:36 And it's okay. I know, look, I know these guys, oh man, but they were so good in college. How many times have we seen guys that were so good in college not be able to cut it in the NFL? And there have been guys that didn't have great stellar college careers turn out to be great pros. But we just can't say it's just like,
Starting point is 00:37:56 just because you go to Harvard, you grad get a degree from Harvard, that don't mean you're going to be the best businessman. That doesn't mean that you're going to be, it might give you an opportunity because you've had access. It opens some doors. Yes. But at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:38:11 there could be somebody that went to an HBCU that went to a mid school that be just as great. So this notion that, Oh, the system is failing. Yeah. Maybe in some situations, but even with great coaching,
Starting point is 00:38:25 everybody is not going to make it. There's never been a situation that everybody, oh, he got a law degree. Oh, he about to make $500,000 a year. Oh, he got a med degree. He's about to be a great neurosurgeon or a great this. No.
Starting point is 00:38:41 No, it doesn't work like that, guys. But I think the thing is that we're looking at these quarterbacks and we're paying so much more close attention that we're like, damn, what's going on? Yeah. And then it makes it even worse when they're high picks, huh? Because, listen, when you go that high, not only do they have their own expectations,
Starting point is 00:39:06 shoot, us, even me as a fan, I have expectations as well. I'm expecting you to be the face of that franchise and change it. Show me why they picked you that high. I enjoy it. Remember, listen, I want quarterback, but quarterback need to start talking shit.
Starting point is 00:39:21 That's the problem. They too quiet. What did Jamar Chase say before he got drafted? When he got drafted? Yeah, but Jamar Chase ain't the quarterback. I'm finna go there and break every record. What the hell is he on pace to keep on doing? Guess what?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Break every damn record. Jamar Chase is going against 1DB. When you got little mofos trying to tear your head off, they're the reason why quarterbacks keep their damn mouth shut. Okay, okay. Because LT and TJ Watt and Nick Bosa's going to bust your ass. So you go out there talking, oh, I ain't worried about nothing.
Starting point is 00:39:49 What you think is going to happen? What you think is going to happen? You know what's going to happen. Hey, could you imagine if you played quarterback? No. No, I couldn't. Because my instinct is to talk ish, and the next thing you know, my helmet sideways.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Hey, I was just thinking about that, man. That's funny. It's a whole different ball game. And sometimes guys come in with targets on their backs anyway. Right, right. But look, and that's the thing. Also, Ocho, when these guys come in, they not going. It's not a situation like
Starting point is 00:40:26 James Worthy he got drafted number one overall and went to the Lakers after they had just won the championship if you a high draft pick at quarterback you go into a bull jive team it's simple it ain't no other way around it ain't no quarterback getting drafted
Starting point is 00:40:41 going and it's because it's different you ain't getting drafted by the chiefs. If you're a quarterback anyway. Oh, no, you're not getting drafted to Buffalo. You're not getting drafted to any of the teams that went to the playoff the year before.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Right. So, and if you do, you're going to be in the late rounds. Right. As a backup. And you ain't got no expectations. They groom you.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Uh, uh, uh, you look got no expectations. They grooming you. You look at the Chiefs, they not taking a quarterback peer. They might go get a quarterback that's been Carson Wentz. Right. Somebody ain't got no expectations. You know what you're here for. If something happened to Mahone, we're going to need you for two or three games. You've been a star in this league.
Starting point is 00:41:21 You played some football. You played some good football. You played a lot more bad football than good football. But, hey, we believe you can give us a stretch somewhere between three and five weeks until hopefully Patrick Mahomes, nothing happens, and he'll be back. But where y'all thought it was going to go?
Starting point is 00:41:41 Everybody doesn't get a situation where they get like an Aaron Rodgers and they get an opportunity to sit for three years. Patrick Mahomes had to sit for a year. Yep. But everybody isn't getting those kind of ideal situations, Ocho, because everybody coming in,
Starting point is 00:41:59 and I'm sure Aaron probably wanted to start, but you know everybody coming in. Oh, man. Oh, man. Hell no. The way he, the way, the way guys are wired.
Starting point is 00:42:12 It didn't matter that where you went to. Hey, you like, Hey, I can play. I need to get on the field, but I don't know. Look,
Starting point is 00:42:20 I understand what agents are telling kids, but Ocho, if I got an opportunity, I'm going to make $30 million guaranteed. I ain't staying in school. I'll holler at you, homie. First of all, no matter if I'm in NFL, what am I going to school to do?
Starting point is 00:42:34 College is supposed to teach you how to make money. Get a job and make money. The NFL is speeding that process up. Why would I deny that? Why would I slow it down? By waiting. And run the risk of getting hurt if I get hurt I'm going to get hurt on the NFL dime with that 30 million
Starting point is 00:42:50 guaranteed that's what me personally now everybody got to make their decision sometimes you get a situation like a Peyton and Eli they're dead they're middle class upper middle class they cool but people that look like me and you we ain't no upper middle class.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Uh-uh. We poor. And our job is to get our family out of that situation. And as soon as we can do that, that's what we're going to do. Every time. I'm Michael Kasson, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company. The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences
Starting point is 00:43:42 with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there are so many stories out there. And if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content, the term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment, and sports collide. And hear how leaders like Anjali are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets.

Starting point is 00:44:36 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.

Starting point is 00:56:51 them out of the box, I got to lace them up. I said, man, later for this. And so that's why I just like, you know what? And I just wore the same shoe. So I said, I'm done with this. And I was like, I'm going to sell. I'm going to sell. And cool kicks, like was like, I'm going to sell. I'm going to sell. And Kool Kicks, like, hey, you want to sell it? I'm like, yeah, I will.
Starting point is 00:57:12 I absolutely will. What not? What not? Well, we said Kool Kicks, right? We're at Kool Kicks headquarters. But what not says, like, ask me would I be interested in party ways? I was like, well, how many? Like, well, how many you want to sell?
Starting point is 00:57:27 I say, at least I probably, let's see how many I got. Man, Ocho, I had a whole room. My closet, they had already taken over my closet. Then I ended up taking a bed out and putting his shoes stacked up in the room where the bed used to be. So I said, no, I'm done. And I still probably got like 75 pair in Atlanta, like Oregon Duck 3s. I still got some 5s.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I still got like 14s. I still got some air. It's just time. It's time, Mocho. It's time. Yeah, it is. You're going to feel better about yourself, too. You need to get rid of those.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I'm sure the money's probably going to a good cause. You get rid of them, create some space. I want to have a scholarship. I want to have a scholarship funded by Alma Mater. I like it. I like that. I like that. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:58:16 That's what I want. It's the first time that I'm going to do something and people will know about it. Because a lot of times I give money to various charities and they have one simple, I give them one, I don't care. Okay, I understand what this charity is and I'm sure y'all are going to use y'all discretion and distribute the money in a place it's supposed to go. I said, but you can never tell that I gave you anything.
Starting point is 00:58:40 I said, if you ever tell that I gave you money, I'll never give to this organization again. Because I'm not giving it because I'm not giving it I'm not giving it for that reason people don't need to know I like people who are like you don't do nothing for your community you don't do nothing you don't know what I do
Starting point is 00:58:57 so this is for a worthy cause and so if it goes well the next collection I'm probably going to sell everything but about. I'll probably keep like 10 pair. I'll probably keep 15 pair. But there are shoes that I can wear on the regular. Not not the not the. And I got some of the Yeezys like when he first went to Adidas.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Right. The 750 boot. I got I got a couple of pair of those. I got a black. I got the black, I got the brown I got like some of the 350's I got some of the early stuff that he did when he first went to Adidas
Starting point is 00:59:31 so I like it that's where y'all rich folks be going crazy with the shoes man look I was with nike and that definitely helps but a lot of times i would give it like to my teammates burns and bucket got more
Starting point is 00:59:56 ish than i did my sister uh you know she got a lot of stuff my sister still wears she still got her old shoes in the box i ain't played in 20 years right but she wore the same shoes uh but burns bucket uh a couple of people like that i got a little stuff but my a lot of my teammates they would want stuff and i would get it for them and so that's how it kind of started ocho is that with that and then i would see stuff i was like man i won't okay i want this i want this i want this and i and so sometimes i was able to get it sometimes i wasn't and i had to pay um but it's time to part with it now it really is uh and so hopefully uh i mean i don't like i said i don't know i mean ash was telling me some of the prices like one

I stick to my simple shoes. But I tell you what, collecting shoes is cheaper than watches.

That's a very expensive hobby. I had two expensive hobbies. One is more expensive than the other, for sure. Yeah, you know, I started dibbling, dabbling in some
Starting point is 01:02:11 watches, you know. The money coming in a little different these days. But I got, like I said, like I said, I wanted to do something for Savannah State. I wanted to establish a scholarship fund. And give back for an institution that did so much for me.
Starting point is 01:02:36 The doctors are my favorite. Joyce McLemore, who was my remedial reading teacher. Um, Joanne green, who was my, my read, um, my remedial English teacher. Cause I started Savannah state and all developmental studies, all remedial classes.
Starting point is 01:02:55 And those Scott Simpson was my remedial math teacher. He got me out of there. And then I got with Haynes Walton. I got with Norman Elmore. I got with man. Clara Bain, Gay Hewitt, Scott Smith.

Starting point is 01:03:27 I couldn't, I wouldn't be the person that I am without that experience. I met a guy that's like my brother Bucket at Savannah State. All of my kids, all of my kids' moms went to Savannah State. So, man, it's going to be, it's gonna be a great
Starting point is 01:03:48 honor for me to go and present that check to the president that's gonna be a proud moment for me Ocho but that's not the end of it now so now that's gonna be a regular occurrence. So every year I'm going to donate to that fund.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Right. And obviously, you know, hopefully I got at least 20 more times around the state, 20 more summers.
