Say less.
Back-to-back games for the first time, I think,
in the NFL, we had a Thursday, this early in the season.
We remember last year, we had the Thursday night
Thanksgiving Day game, and then we had a
Black Friday game. But the opener season
the NFL gave us back-to-back games,
Thursday night and a Friday, and the Green
Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles played
in Brazil, got an international game
early in the season. The Eagles prevailed
34-29.
Jalen Hurts, 30-24, 278, two touchdowns, two INTs, sacked twice.
Saquon Barkley came out big.
He had 24 carries, a buckle nine, two touchdowns,
also caught four touchdowns.
A.J. Brown, five catches, a buck 19, one touchdown.
And Devontae Smith really sealed it late
because he had some big catches late in the ballgame.
Seven catches for 84 yards.
And then we have Jordan Love, who got nicked at the end of the game.
Going to be interesting to see how serious that injury is.
He was 17 of 34 for two 62 touchdowns, one INT.
He was sacked once, Josh Jacob, 18 for 84.
And Reed, four catches for $1.38.
Ocho, you watch this game before I give you my synopsis of it.
What did you think about this game, Ocho?
It was a doozy at the beginning.
I'm going to be honest with you.
It was a doozy at the beginning because I'm thinking, okay,
high-powered offenses, two really good quarterbacks,
some of the best receivers in the game.
You know, they got them young bulls over there with the Packers. I'm
thinking Jordan Love, they're going to come out there and
air it out.
Shoot, the beginning of the game, listen, horrible,
horrible, stupid
penalties on the Eagle defense.
Jalen Carter, baby, we got to do better, baby.
We got to do better.
Jordan Davis,
y'all should be dominating that interior.
Y'all should be dominating that interior. Y'all should be dominating that interior.
Every time.
The second half, in the second quarter,
towards the end of the second quarter,
like maybe in the eighth or ninth minute,
from that point on,
we had some football being played on both sides of the ball.
They started putting series together, stringing, stringing, stringing,
play after play after play, getting drives together.
The center and Jalen Hurts, they got to get it together.
They got to get it.
Listen, we done had training camp.
I'm not sure what's going on.
They got to get that together.
The two interceptions also
could have been costly.
You got to protect the ball. There's no reason
that ball should have been thrown down
the middle of the field in that coverage.
Honestly, Ocho,
Jalen Hurts could have had four picks.
Oh, yeah.
You see Jair drop one
late towards the end.
And the corner out on the sideline. he had one that's going to the end zone
Nixon
it was a Nixon or Mixon
Nixon
he dropped one
yeah
hell Jordan Love had two too
he had a house call
by Dean
the interception that that that that both
of those guys through yeah i'm trying to figure out what you're i still don't understand what
jordan loves saw there's a whole safety so in other words there's cover one or cover three
whatever you want to call it see how they rotate it there's a guy there's a safety in the hole
the other guy is running with him and you still try to throw a seed?
I don't think he saw the safety, though.
Oh, Joe, that's pre-snap where he thought he was going.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't think he saw him.
Obviously, at pre-snap, at pre-snipe, excuse me, at pre-snap,
once he dropped back, you know, his eyes are locked in downfield
and on his target.
When he saw the dude trailing, it was a tight end, wasn't it?
That was a tight end, wasn't it?
Yeah, yes, Kraft, I think.
Yeah, when he saw the dude trailing tight end,
he thought the tight end was open,
not knowing the safety was sitting right there just baiting him,
and he broke on it right away.
But, Ocho, I can see if they did, if they, like,
like the old Steelers, they line up close,
and the safety didn't get back. And they didn't shoot up out of the eye.
They lined up in the hole.
Yeah.
They lined up in the hole.
And then Hurts, it looked like, and Hurts on his interception,
I'm like, Hurts, what did you see?
It looked like it might have been Tampa 2 or quarter, quarter, half.
I couldn't really see.
But the safety, I'm i'm like bro you throw that
man you know you can't throw the ball like that ocho and then he he left it in there if you you
got you got it you got to shoot that that thing gotta be up and down up and down right away but
listen it was a good game it had it it had it was a good game in spurts yes yes it was a good game in spurts. Yes. Yes. It was a good game in spurts.
Listen, when they came out, the end of the second quarter was unbelievable.
For both sides of the ball.
Yeah.
For both offenses, both defenses.
And then at the beginning, at the half, when they came out of halftime,
that thing was looking good.
And then it went to sleep again.
Went to snooze fest.
Went to a snooze fest, and then it picked up a little bit for the Eagles
and goddamn Jaden Reed.
I tweeted it not too long ago.
His name and Jaden Reed, for you casual fans that don't know.
And he showed out, even though they did lose.
He played well.
He played well.
Oh, Joe.
Yeah, yes, sir. Joe in love. he played well he played well oh joe yeah yes sir jordan love he had a look when they really
could have put some separation between themselves and the eagles yes sir jordan love had two series
that really cost them the game if you go back and look he has the receiver he He has, uh, I think it's Reed screaming across the field on the over route.
He skips that to him.
He has,
he has dogs on the,
on the dagger route.
He throws that behind him.
Behind him.
Yeah.
And he has dogs on the speed out.
He throws that behind it.
Yeah.
I'm like,
bro.
Oh,
Joe,
you gotta stop throwing so much off that back foot.
I know we get enamored by a Rogers.
We get enamored by Rodgers. We get enamored by Mahomes.
But, bro, you've got to stop throwing off your back foot
because that's why the ball is sailing on you
and it's being late getting there.
And it's okay to step up forward into the pocket.
He refused.
He just wanted to retreat and throw off his back foot.
Step up in the pocket, shift your weight, and throw the ball, bro.
Yeah, and the funny thing about it is
the fact that he sat behind Rodgers all that time.
You can tell the mannerisms
and the way he mimics and throws
and all the different arm angles that he does have.
He's gotten them from Aaron Rodgers.
But Aaron Rodgers has...
Look, Jordan Love has arm strength as well.
He has arm strength as well.
I'm not sure if it's to the velocity of Aaron Rodgers.
So he's able to get away with some of those throws where the mechanics are all out of whack, but the ball is still able to get there on time because of his accuracy.
So I think that's something.
Oh, my goodness.
I'm not sure if you can actually break that goddamn habit at this point.
Now, the season is starting.
I'm sure something that they can work on, you know, to get him back on the basics,
get him back on the basic fundamentals of being able to execute and process not only doing your reads before you throw the ball,
but having your mechanics and your footwork and your left foot pointing in the right direction before you throw in the ball
and get away from what you saw Aaron Rodgers doing.
Because if you watch him, him and Aaron look exactly the goddamn same
from a mechanical standpoint
when it's time to throw the ball.
Yes.
But there are some opportunities that,
like I said,
I thought they could have got some separation
between them and the Eagles
because whatever reason,
the Eagles couldn't get out of their own way.
The court, Jalen threw a terrible interception
and then the center snaps the ball.
That is not on Jalen Hurt. He's going through, and then the center snaps the ball. That is not on Jalen Hurts.
He's going through his cadence,
and the center snaps the ball,
and he kind of hits him in the arm.
That's on the center.
And then he throws another terrible interception.
He got away with a couple,
but late in the ballgame.
Hold on.
What about the tush push?
The tush push fumbled, too.
Yes.
Yeah.
The center looked like the center didn't even snap it
all the way up to the top.
Boy, they dodged a bullet on that one, Ocho. Oh, yeah, they did. So, honestly, really, the center looked like the center didn't even snap it all the way up to the top. Boy, they dodged a bullet on that one, Ocho.
Oh, yeah, they did.
So, honestly, really, the Eagles lost this.
I mean, not the Eagles.
The Packers lost this game.
The Eagles didn't really win it, if you think about it.
No.
If you look at all the opportunities that the Packers had to actually run away,
not run away with the game, but actually take advantage.
Put some separation between them, yes.
Yeah, exactly.
Put some separation between them.
They didn't take advantage of the opportunities.
I know one thing.
You can tell it was week one.
Yeah.
Could anybody line up, Bocho?
Can anybody line up and stop all these illegal shifts, illegal formation?
Oh, yeah.
Two guys going in motion.
What the hell?
At the same time.
Why you going two guys?
Yeah.
Now, when did y'all ever done that?
Never.
Well, wait.
Honestly, wait a minute.
Think about it now two people can
be in motion but before the snap of the ball both have to be set yes but i think the play clock was
running down and he had to hurry up and snipe the ball snap the ball so those are the things that
you can fix those are the kind of mistakes you expect teams to make in week one even though
you've been through training camp even though though you've done it, you had repetition after repetition after repetition and live
action mistakes like they're going to be had.
Yeah. But I know
one thing. You could tell it was week one, but
you can tell both teams defensively
and offensively have
so much potential.
By the time they hit week four or week
five and everything is really rolling
and they in sync with that
chemistry, it's going to be nasty.
I hope Jordan Love is okay, too.
Yeah.
The Eagles defense,
they showed some grit
early in the game
when that game could have...
They had...
Jalen Hurts had two costly turnovers early
and the Eagles held them to six points.
Yeah.
That's really what the difference
in the ball game, won't you?
Because the game could have
got away from you so, so early.
But give the Eagles defense,
Vic Fangio, he was brought in there um to revitalize that so they did a good job
of keeping the packers out of the end zone with those two early uh turnovers but yeah the packer
squandered some opportunity he had christian watson running at the back of the end zone
and i don't know if he slipped or he just overshot him. It looked like he overshot him.
He overshot him a little bit, but
the push, the little
shove from the safety
threw him off balance just a
tad bit. We weren't able to get to that ball.
Just that little shove
it messed up everything.
But I tell you what,
it's a great feeling to be one and oh
as opposed to o and one with this little mini buy uh you feel good you have to go have to travel
what probably 10 11 hours back you're banged up i don't know i don't know if look i've never gone
on a long trip where i had to play a whole lot. So normally when I went on international flights, I didn't play enough to get sore.
Right, right, right.
So it's a big difference actually playing a meaningful game
because normally it was early in the preseason.
And so we only play in a series, maybe two series at the max.
Now, in 92, we played in Berlin.
And hell, I played up until the third quarter because, you know,
Dan wanted me to play a little more because they were going to ask me to do a little more that year so that was really my first
year of getting heavy heavy minutes in the regular season so he wanted me to go a little bit longer
and i totally understood that but for the most part ocho we played overseas i wasn't playing
long enough to get sore you played at least 60 plays 65 plays in this game you'll ask sore if
you play oh yeah oh yeah most Oh, yeah. Most definitely.
Can I ask you one thing, Ocho?
I want to ask you this.
Yes, sir.
There's 30 seconds on the damn clock.
You hadn't run the ball out of the end zone the whole effing night.
You got no timeouts.
What makes you run the ball?
Special teams coach, head coach, leave the ball in the end zone.
We're going to get it get it plus and no time
goes off the clock yeah guess what they get the ball he runs it out runs time off the clock and
he's 15 yards short of where he would have gotten the ball and no time would have gone off the clock
if he took a knee so now when jaylen hurts throws that pass imagine putting up 15 yards farther than what
it was you see sometimes that's what we talk about we talk about football iq and basketball iq
it's plays like that that irks me what makes you so oh so so in the first half the second half the
second quarter when they scored you didn't run it out.
Now you behind.
You got no timeouts.
Now you want to play.
You see what happens when you try to play hero ball, Lojo?
Hero ball.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, that was, I don't know.
Listen, that's why I said it. That's why I said you could tell it's week one.
As much preparation as they did before this game you can still see the mistakes the mental mistakes
not even by just the players themselves by the coaches as well when certain situations like this
come up again now you've already you've already been through it and you understand well you know
what we can't do that we can't have, sometimes common sense ain't common, man.
Ocho, let me ask you a question.
There's 30 seconds on the clock, and you catch the ball.
What you going to do, Ocho?
You got no time out.
I'm taking a knee.
You know, you got no time out.
You catch the ball.
What you trying to do, Ocho?
Get out of bounds.
Get out of bounds?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
So I'm just trying to figure out why when you had 12 minutes on the clock, Get out of bounds. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yeah.
So I'm just trying to figure out why when you had 12 minutes on the clock,
13 minutes on the clock, you got three timeouts.
You don't run the ball out.
But in this situation, you got no timeouts and there's only 30 seconds.
Now you want to be a hero and take it to the house.
You see, that is things like that.
I mean, the coach, look, look i get it the coach would always i
mean that was my job when i was on special teams the car always try to brief the guys okay hey
guys we ain't got no timeouts hey we're gonna leave it in the end zone so forth and so on or
we got to make sure we cover okay we got to leave we just took the lead on the leg second touch
last second field goal or last second touchdown.
Okay, guys, let's make sure we cover.
Let's make sure we stay in our lane.
Now, you know, A, we hadn't seen that return.
A, Alto, be on the look for it.
Lilo, Hallie, be on the look for that return coming back your way now. So you letting the guys know we hadn't seen that return,
now's a good time for them to bring it out
because what the hell do
they have to lose oh lord see this is why i can't play but i tell you what everybody know what the
hell to do on man everybody know what to do on cod everybody know what to do on minecraft but
you don't know what the f to do when it comes to the game the thing that's paying you and allowed
you to get these fancy ass chairs and all those great setups you now all of a sudden what the coach ain't
telling me to coach it the coach ain't tell you how to play um cod who told them guys how to play
cod ocho ain't no coach ain't nobody coaching them ain't nobody telling what to do but they
can play that thing oh can't nobody beat me in madden can't nobody beat me in ncaa repetition
repetition well repetition and do that stay your ass in the end zone with 30 seconds and no time out.
You know damn well.
And the thing is,
Ocho, we've seen it in the preseason, and
we've seen it two games. Ain't nobody
even come close. Most of the time, they don't even
bring it out. Right.
I mean, it looks so... I'm like,
I'm like, ain't nobody gonna move?
I mean, it almost doesn't even seem real
because the guy kicked the ball
and the guy can't take off running.
They can't take off until he catches it.
I'm like, I don't know how everybody else is feeling about it, Ocho,
but I ain't liking this new kickoff rule.
I get why they're doing it.
I get why they're doing it.
I get why.
The safety reasons, I understand as well.
But I think one of the things that the NFL is doing is they're trying to
crack down on people getting hurt in the collisions that happen on kickoff.
Yes.
I don't think they're going to be very many kickoffs at all.
I told a commissioner that.
Because everybody's kicker has a strong leg at this point.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the
boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi,
for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming,
how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly
make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there 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 iHeart
Radio 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?
No.
It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.
And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second.
I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn.
In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,
but which few of us still remember today.
The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.
Please do.
To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Just put the ball at the 25 or the 30 and say, just go play.
Listen, they've been trying to get these collisions out of the game. They're trying to figure out how,
because most of the concussions happens on these plays.
Because think about where they're coming from.
Okay, you got a guy.
Now, the guy's running full speed on choke guns.
By the time he hits somebody, he's running at bare minimum 15 to 20 miles an hour.
The other guy's coming his way.
He's running 10 to 15 miles an hour. So when they collide, way, he's running 10 to 15 miles an hour.
So when they collide, that's a
40 miles an hour impact.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
You want to know what it feels like
to run? Hey, just line up.
I'll tell you what you do. 20 yards.
I want you to get your hard hat from Lowe's or Home
Depot, put on your overcoat
and line up 20 yards and
run into your garage as hard as you fucking can
if you want to see if you want to know what it feels like to be on kickoff kick return pump
pump return because i played them all for three years yeah if you want to know what it feels like
man but shannon what does it feel like to be? And I've been knocked out, and I've knocked some guy's ass out on that.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, I used to be in the wedge as a rookie, too.
Yeah, you're too late to ask to be in the wedge.
I was in the wedge.
I was in the wedge.
The Chargers used to have a wedge weighed over 1,000 pounds.
Really?
What?
Yes.
Who they had in there?
Anybody I know?
No.
No.
They had, like, had, like Anybody I know? No. They had
like two, some more. They had two
like D-tackles and an offensive
lineman. 330,
345, 350. And you know
back then Ocho used to come together. They hold
hands. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
They sure did. They sure did.
And so now you got to have somebody
to try to take them out.
But you couldn't go low. So you had to have somebody. Had to be a out but you couldn't go low so you had to have somebody
had to be a wedge buster
you had a couple of guys that we called
wedge busters
man
Ocho
I never forget
Barcelona
1994
Richard Smith
was our special teams coach.
And he gets you fired up, Ocho.
He gets you fired up the night before the game.
He's like, what I want, I want guys to go over that wall.
I need somebody that's going to bust that effing wedge.
And you can see guys get geeked because it's the opportunity, Ocho.
Hey, play good on the special team.
Make the team.
Hey, the more you can do, the better
your chance of success. I need somebody
to go over that effing wall.
Okay.
Sure enough,
we kick off
and get back to the wedge.
Anthony Lynn
used to be coach of the Chargers.
I think he's the OC, not the commanders.
Right over the top of the wedge.
Guess what, Ocho?
He jumped over it?
He hit the wedge, went over the top, broken leg.
Ah.
But you know how he got the job?
How?
I used to be on the return.
I was one of the two guys on the return. I was like,
I was one of the two guys in the return.
So there's a guy and then there's a guy over there and he's looking
at me, hey, let's go.
So
we had a special teams meeting.
I said, Rich,
people don't believe it, but
he tell the story. I said, Rich,
you want to lead the NFL in kick returns?
He's showing the film. He's stopping.
That's what the fuck I'm talking about.
Did y'all hear that? Also, he stood up.
Did y'all hear that?
My all pro tight end, pro
bow tight end want to lead the league in kick
returns. I said, well, you need to take me
off the cover. My man going to make the tackle every time.
Hey, the next
day, A. Lynn, you up.
Ask A. Lynn, ask Richard Smith,
ask anybody. I told him that. I said,
Coach, you want to lead the league and kick returns?
He got all fired up. I said, well, you
need to take me off because my man going to make the tackle every time.
I was off
that thing.
But my first three
years, because that was all right.
At that point in time, now, I had led a team
in reception. So I had
to better myself. Now, they needed me,
but my first three years...
Yeah.
You was getting that work, huh?
I was L3.
I was L3 on kick.
I was L3 on kick return. I was in the front line. I was an L three on kick. I was an L three on kick return.
I was in the front line.
I was a guard.
Yeah.
On the kick return. I was an
L three on kick off.
Right. Right down the... I'm coming, Ocho.
I'm coming, Ocho.
See, but... So you don't remember
my rookie year when I was in the wedge?
And then on kick... Then on kickoff, I was L2.
Well, you the safety.
You probably put the peel back.
I was the safety, yeah.
But I'm saying on kickoff, I was in the wedge.
No, hold on, though.
You mean kick return, you in the wedge?
Oh, kick return, yeah, I was in the wedge.
I was in the middle.
You're too light to be in the wedge.
They'll never go put nobody under 200 pounds in the wedge. Well ain't never going to put nobody under 200 pounds in the wedge.
Well, you never seen me hit?
Nah.
No, when I came in as a rookie,
I was like 235.
That's why I was on the wedge.
Ocho, I ain't going to lie to you, Ocho.
If they'd have put you in the wedge,
they'd have hit you so hard
on the top of your head,
you'd have peeped out your ribs
and thought you'd in jail.
No, no.
I'm telling you.
No, I'm telling you.
You talking to somebody
that been in there.
You didn't want no part of that.
I was in the wedge in the 2000.
What you talking about?
How you think I made the team?
I didn't make the team playing receiver.
You a second round pick.
That's how you made the team.
You ain't gonna be in that wedge.
You too little.
How you...
You just saw me in person and saw how big I am.
I did.
So think about this, Ocho.
Think about how much...
Because as we start
to age, most of us, we get little old
man girth and stuff on us.
Can you imagine
how skinny you was in your early 20s?
If you like this now in your 40s?
Yeah, I mean,
as a rookie,
you got to remember coming from the combine
and putting all the extra weight and all the extra
mass on me to perform, I was i was about 215 but but listen dick listen i'll never forget
dick laboe dick laboe was the head coach at that time and they were so impressed with me on special
teams that i really ain't tested for that receiver i was a special team expert oh yeah but you know
back then don't you i mean anything goes it wasn't like expert. Oh, yeah. But you know, back then, Ocho, I mean, anything goes.
It wasn't like it is now where you
couldn't take off running because they
didn't change the rules before they implemented
this, Ocho. You couldn't even lead
until the guy kicked the ball.
I line up behind the kicker, and when
he drop his hand, I'm taking off running.
When he kicked that ball,
I'm in an all-out sprint.
By the time they retreat, and by the time they do this, Ocho.
Right in their face.
I'm in their chairs.
I'm in their chairs.
I'm dead in his chairs.
But congratulations to the Eagles.
Go on the road in Brazil.
34-29, victors over the Packers.
And that field was some bull jive.
It was.
It was. It was bad. It was. It was.
It was bad.
It was bad.
But listen, listen.
Players have no reason slipping because you had pregame warm-up.
You tested the field the day before.
So you already knew your ass needed goddamn studs anyway.
Seven studs.
You got to go to the... Everybody want to wear those soccer bottoms.
But you got to realize, Ocho.
They have to be heavy.
Soccer players don't be weighing
200 pounds moving like that.
Oh, no.
Double Jugglers 165, maybe 170.
At best.
You better get your ass some seven studs and
sit down in them things.
They changed them after a while, though. You notice
that people stop slipping
after a while.
Yeah.
That was the whole purpose.
I mean, look,
I used to always
seven studs
and then I went
to tempo bottom,
what we call
speed TD bottoms.
I don't know if they still
call them tempo bottoms,
you know what I'm saying?
Like the molded bottoms.
But I had,
I like seven studs
because I didn't want to slip.
The last thing I want to do
is get an opportunity
to make a,
you know,
I slip,
the ball's intercepted
or I slip and i miss a
touchdown or a key catch so there was only there was only one place where i had to wear seven stars
and that was when we went to hines field oh yeah i think i think back back during those days
obviously it was it was it was running error i think hines they kept their field messy yeah
to keep the opposing team at a disadvantage.
Yeah, because they're looking to run the football.
They're trying to throw it all over the place until they got Big Ben.
Yeah.
They were running the football.
Yeah, they sure were.
They were running it.
Yeah.
And, you know, that's how the Steelers, the Steelers used to be built.
They played defense and they ran the football.
Ran the ball, yeah.
They always played defense and they ran the football. Ran the ball, yeah. They always played defense and they always ran the
football until they got Big Ben.
And then when they got Big Ben, they still
played a hell of a defense.
But they started
throwing it all over the yard.
The St. Juan Barkley, three touchdowns are tied
for the most by any player in a team's debut
in the Super Bowl era. Ocho,
guess who was the last Eagles players
to do that?
What? Three Super Bowl, three TDs
in the Super Bowl era? Yep, for the Eagles.
Last Eagle?
Ricky, um, I almost said
Ricky Waters. In his debut.
In his debut. Oh, debut?
You know him very well.
T.O.?
Yeah. T.O. T.O.? Yeah.
T.O.
The Giants.
2000.
That wasn't 05.
What year was that?
04.
Yeah, 04.
You know what?
Matter of fact, speaking of Saquon and the game he had tonight, his debut as an Eagle,
how do you think the Giants feel?
How do you think they feel?
I mean, how do you think they feel?
How do you still, and listen,
I argued with a dude tonight.
He said there's no reason paying a running back
like that. It didn't make any sense because all
the Giants were going to do is they were going to lose anyway.
Well, I mean,
you want to keep your best players. That's what I
look at, regardless of the position. You keep
your best player. Now, you pay the quarterback
and people's like, well, and that's like, Saququon gotta feel like he's in heaven because look he ain't gotta
dodge everybody in the backfield he gets to get there at least to the line of scrimmage without
getting help put on him and then right well y'all talk about saquon didn't have any room to run but
y'all criticize daniel jones daniel jones does a lot of little interceptions he hitting guys in the chest he ain't always getting sacked now right right
but I'm happy for Saquon
I'm happy for him
I am
and look what you saw tonight
it's only going to get better
it's only going to get better
with A.J. Brown playing like that
with Devontae Smith playing like that
and then he is running the ball like that, with that
type of efficiency, at some point, at one point,
he was getting eight yards a goddamn carry.
He quick. I mean, he hit the
hole one time. I was like, damn, Saquon.
On that touchdown. On that touchdown
run on that first one? Yeah.
Woo! I mean, he hit the
hole on that one quick. Yeah. Oh,
hold on. In the back of
playing around now. He ain't want none of that.
The backer was playing.
I'm not sure.
I'm bad with names, especially when it comes to defenders.
That second level, that backer could have made that play.
He went right along with the block in the wash.
You could have shared that and made the tackle.
But that's just me.
Hey, I don't know this kid. This is Zach Brown or where he came from. But that's just me. Hey, I don't know this kid,
this Zach Brown,
or where he came from,
but he raised hell tonight.
15 tackles, 11 solo,
two sacks on a tackle for long.
Blankenship, a tremendous safety.
He had eight tackles, four solo.
But I thought the key difference
in the ball game was early on,
keeping them out of the end zone.
That could have been, instead of six. That could have been instead of six,
that could have been,
that could have been 14.
Absolutely.
And that would have changed the game.
Yep.
That would have changed the game.
So now in a situation like that,
Ocho,
I don't have to get out of my game plan because of the touchdown.
And I'm in the lead,
even though I played bad up until this point,
I scored a touchdown.
I'm in the lead now.
So I feel they had to feel comfortable knowing that as bad as we played, we're only down. We're only down a touchdown. I'm in the lead now. So I feel they had to feel comfortable knowing that as bad as we played,
we're only down,
we're only down a touchdown.
Right.
As opposed to being down two scores,
which would have kind of been demoralizing,
but the Eagles found a way to,
to withstand the early pressure by the Packers.
And they went 29,
30,
34,
29.
The Eagles won Saquon Barkley in his debut,
three touchdowns,
109 rush yards
to go along with two
catches, 23 yards, and
another touchdown.
So Saquon had him
quite a day in his debut.
Okay, tonight, much of the
NFL game, but it won't be the last. Earlier
today, Roger Goodell said the
NFL focus is on playing at least
seven international games next season.
That would include Spain, the United
Kingdom, and Germany.
We played in Berlin back
in 92.
He also added, we hope to go back to Mexico.
We played a preseason game in Mexico
and certainly intend to be
back here in Brazil. Playing seven
or more international games next year
would be a step up from the
five scheduled for this year. In addition
to tonight's games, there are three more games,
Ocho, London, Munich,
and Germany. Hold on.
Munich.
Munich and Germany.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So one is in London,
one is in Munich. Where's the other one?
Oh, two of them in London.
Okay, they got two in London and one in Munich.
Three in London.
Oh, they got three in London.
Oh, two in London.
And you know what would be really dope is, you know, soccer season just started.
Everybody's on international break right now.
But, I mean, these games, you talk about the two, the three in London are this year.
Yeah.
The one in Munich.
Yep.
I would hope, I would hope, I mean, if I was still playing, I would hope we fly out a little earlier than normal.
Like maybe a week in advance.
That might be a little bit, you know, exaggerated.
I would love to fly out in advance and go to a game.
Because, you know, soccer season is during the same time as football. Who's going to fly out?
The team.
What team?
Whoever's playing in London this year.
Oh, I thought you were talking about us. I said, man, you're out your damn mind.
No, no, not us. I'm just saying
if I was playing, I would love if
the team flew out early so
on a day off,
I can catch a soccer game.
Ocho, you know how teams roll.
They not trying to do anything.
They trying to control
as much time as you can.
When you got,
when you play with the Bengals,
y'all got y'all ass to the city,
3.30, 4 o'clock, 4.30,
and then you had meetings at 7.
They not trying to give you
no time to do nothing.
Yeah, but we talk about,
we talk about a seven,
eight hour flight all the way across the water. They have done studies and they say the no time to do nothing? Yeah, but we talk about a seven, eight hour flight all the way across
the water. They have done studies and they
say the best thing to do is to get there the day
before, treat it like a regular game, get up and go
play. Oh, hell, hell no.
I'm just telling you. Absolutely not.
They can't do that.
They can't do that.
For one, you have to
fly. You got to fly early.
To me, I'm thinking maybe three days early.
They ain't going no three days early.
They just got there Thursday.
When they flew to Brazil?
Yeah.
They ain't just get there yesterday.
Come on, man.
When did they get there?
When did they get there?
I guarantee you they ain't get no three days early.
No, they've been there at least a week.
No, hell no.
There's no way they flew in yesterday.
That's impossible.
Ain't no way they flew in yesterday and played
a game tonight.
This game was in Corinthians Arena
in Sao Paulo.
The next one is the Jets, Minnesota and Tottenham.
Jacksonville, Chicago is going to be in Tottenham in the stadium.
Hotspur in New England.
Jacksonville will be in Wembley.
And then the Giants, Carolina and Lance Arena in Munich.
Oh, that's going to be nice, boy.
That's going to be nice, boy. That's going to be nice.
They arrived in Brazil
last night.
They arrived in Brazil
last night. I've
told you. I've talked to teams and
they say, through the expert they've
talked to, it's best to get
there and treat it just like a normal
game. I'm just telling you what I was told.
Now, if it's a lie, they lied to me.
You know what?
After a flight like that,
after a flight that
long, if I'm not mistaken, a flight to Brazil
is what, eight, nine hours, something like that?
10, 12, probably.
Hold on, how long is a flight from Brazil
to, from Philly to Brazil?
One day in advance advance and then you go
out and play football? Yeah.
Man, they tripping, man.
They tripping.
Oh, Joe, when we float
international, we had to go to the state.
We go to the hotel, change.
A lot of times we didn't go because we had to pack
a change of clothes and we go straight
to the thing and go to practice.
Go to Japan after 20 hours mean you mean walk through oh we got a good run in or when damn we want no walk through we ran okay okay because they didn't want us to go go to bed because you tired the first
thing i'm gonna do i'm gonna go to bed bed yeah yeah yeah oh that's crazy that day before 10 hour flight
child please yeah the 4th
so the day after what the 6th
so they arrived on the 4th that night
so like I said yeah Dana that's it
they're not going in there early that early
because they said that
it's best on the body go ahead
uh the Green Bay Packers
it took them 10 hours
10 hours
40 minutes to reach Sao Paulo
on the 7-7 so basically it's a double decker
the Eagle was a 9.5 hour
flight
one of the Packers initial
concerns about playing in Brazil
sent a team traveling whether they could get
a large enough plane to land in
Green Bay at Austin Shrew, which is in
Appleton, right? No, that's
Green Bay. Green Bay.
Green Bay. If not,
they would have to bus to Milwaukee,
a two-hour ride, then a larger
plane means more pods for players
to stretch out. The Eagles made the
adjustment for their count along a commute.
Instead of their usual one-meal travel, they had two. The Eagles made the adjustment for their count along the commute. Instead of their usual one meal during
travel, they had two.
The focus was on extra hydration
and the group was encouraged
to stay awake during the trip so they could
sleep well once they arrived in Brazil
Thursday night.
That's crazy
work, man. That's why
I didn't go to sleep when we went to France.
That's right. That's what the guy said.
He said, Shadow, make sure you stay.
The only difference is that we arrived early that morning.
We left Saturday night and arrived early that morning.
But no, that's what I've been told.
The teams that take these large flights, it's like, nope.
I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on good company.
The podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next.
In this episode, I'm joined by Anjali Sood, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming, how she's turning so-called niche into mainstream gold, connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen.
What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core.
It's this idea that there 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.

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.

No.

Ocho, there's a video making it around today
of the Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely
unloading on the Oakland Chiefs fans
after a narrow loss.
The video shows him walking in the tunnel
and screaming, F-U-B.
This was minutes after Toe landed out of bounds
in the back of the end zone in the final seconds.
Ocho, are you okay with understandable behavior?
Yes!
Listen,
fan heckling you, talking
shit, and you say something back.
That's part of the game.
That's part of the game.
I'm talking about they were talking slick.
If you turn it up and listen,

he say, shut up, bitch.
And he kept it moving.
Yeah.
I mean, that's not that bad.
It's not that bad.
It's nothing that should get him in trouble or anything like that.
No, hell no.
I mean, that's just normal.

If you think that's bad,
man,
that wasn't nothing. Just, you know, a little emotion,
a little emotion. He upset.
He did what he was supposed to.
Yeah, if Likely wore a size 9 shoe,
that would have been a touchdown.
Nah, he ain't gonna be 6'4

I mean, people feel like, oh, because you Shannon Sharp, you on television,
I should be able to say whatever I want to say to you. I should be able to insult you.
And because you're on television and you make millions, like all of a sudden
because I'm on television, I'm not
human. All of a sudden, I don't have a
family. All of a sudden, I ain't got kids.
So we gonna talk to you and say whatever.
Now, the moment
I shoot their ass up,
obviously, figuratively,

Did Fox know you talk to people like this
or did your
employer know you on here talking crazy
and reckless

I got to get you. I'm going to let you know.
Okay, now. I know y'all see me in this suit

I'm always positive. Always
I love you. But if you shoot,
I'm going to shoot back with you.
And I'm going to keep going.
Yeah, dude. I'm going to keep going.
You remember when Tom Brady, when Tom Brady's thing
I think was the Flickate.
And you know, I was going back
and forth with some Patriots fans.
And one guy tried to be slick, talking about, you look like Mr. Ed.
I said, yeah, your mommy said giddy up last night.
You know what I'm saying?
You know what I mean?
Aw, aw, aw.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, no, you hit it with the mama joke?

Oh, yeah.
I know you were hot.
Oh, yeah. Oh, I know you were hot. boy. Oh, yeah. I know you were hot. Oh, yeah.
Oh, I know you were hot.
Oh, yeah.
But that's what I'm saying.
I'm trying to figure out
if y'all dislike somebody.
For me,
if I don't like you,
I'm not following you
and I'm definitely not going
to jump on your timeline
to try to insult you.
If I don't F with you,
I'm not going to buy your music.
I'm not going to go to any of your,
I'm not going to go to any of your movies. Okay, I don't F with you. But I not going to buy your music. I'm not going to go to any of your movies.
Okay, I don't F with you.
But I'm definitely not going to jump on your timeline
to try to say something slick.
Why y'all want to, I mean, I'm one of the most,
I'm probably one of the celebs, former athletes,
whatever you want to call me, that I'll engage fans.
Hey, man, what was this?
I said, well, this is what i saw
blah blah blah but then all of a sudden everybody feel like they want to be able to say something
slick yeah yeah i mean listen listen twitter social media in general is a gift and a curse
and i enjoy it i embrace all of it i like i like the positivity yes i like i like the negative
negativity i like i like a happy balance i don't want all nice stuff being said to me.
And sometimes I need you to talk shit.
I want to hear the bad too.
The bad shit you say, it keep me goddamn humble sometimes.
Even though it won't.
But still, I like to hear it.
Just to keep me grounded a little bit.
I was talking to the dude, Ocho, and I said something.
And he didn't even repeat basically what I said.
So I just told him, I said,
I can tell that you was rewarded with,
your grades were cookies and stars.
I can tell, that's what you got all the way through high school,
cookies and stars.
And you didn't get a diploma, you got a certificate,
paid for attending.
I can say it, Ocho, man,
I don't want to just try to
insult people but y'all come on my
timeline I ain't looking for y'all
I don't follow y'all I welcome
people to follow me hey love
the show love fucking Ocho love you
such and such hey I disagree with
you on this but you still cool but when y'all
try to insult me
now sometimes
this is how I do it, Ocho.
If I got to think about it,
because I'm really going to cut your ass up,
I won't press send.
Because I've written some stuff, I'm like,
ooh, I don't know, Sean.
That's too much.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I've been trying to send your ass
to the trauma center. I don't want no paper cut.
I'm trying to send your ass to the trauma center. don't want no paper cut I'm trying to send your ass to the trauma center
so I'm just letting y'all know
I like it though
go ahead
it makes social media fun though
to me, for those
who it doesn't bother, I like the negativity
I like the mixture of positivity with it
it just makes social media
that much better to me.
Some people can't take it.
I don't want to use the word weak.
I don't want to use that.
For lack of better words, let's
go on to the next topic before I say the wrong thing.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
have officially listed Russell Wilson
as questionable for Sunday's matchup
against the Falcons. Russ has been
nursing a calf injury that could sideline him for the opener.
According to Ian Rappaport,
Fields is expected to make his Steelers debut and get the start against the Falcons.
Shit.
Ocho, you know Fields is from, he's from the Atlanta area.
He went to Harrison High School.
You don't, hey, who is his favorite?
Let me, I'll give you one guess.
Who do you think was his favorite player growing up?
Michael Vick.
And to go back in there in that dome?
Damn.
Now, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Yeah, you lost that bet.
And yeah, Russell Wilson ain't starting.
Are we sure about this?
We don't know.
Are we sure?
So, it's a game-time decision. Okay. I we sure? So it's a game-time decision?
Okay.
I'm asking you, is it a game-time decision?
I don't know.
Is that where we're at?
Hold on.
It ain't the game, and it ain't time for me to say it.
But I just know this.
When I talk to you on Sunday, make sure you got my money.
Wait.
Russell Wilson already won the starting job.
So what is this?
He's starting the first game of the season.
He won the job. He's starting the first game of the season. He won the job.
He's starting the first game of the season.
Okay, now you're cheating.
Now you're cheating.
If he won the job and Mike Tyler named him the starter for the season,
you can't say because he injured his calf that had nothing to do with him
losing the quarterback battle that I lost the bet.
Okay, so let me ask you a question.
Technically, you already lost the bet
and I didn't even ask for my money.
And you reminded me that we did bet.
How did Tom Brady get the job?
Mo Lewis hit Drew Bledsoe in the chest.
Drew Bledsoe was named the starter.
This ain't finna be no Wally Pip, though. This ain't finna be no Wally Pip though this ain't finna be one of them
nah nah nah nah nah
Russell Wilson playing
you know how I know he playing
how you know
one thing about a praying man
when it come to injury
you know God put hands on you
and all will be well
I know that and I guarantee you number three man when it comes to injury. You know, God put hands on you and all will be well.
I know that. And I guarantee
you, I guarantee you, number three,
walk out there and leave them still as a victory.
I mean, I bet that.
I've heard Justin Fields say, you know,
he give a lot of credit to God, too.
Well, I don't know if they serve the same God, but the God
Russell Wilson served
is a good
guy and he always on time.
Jamar Chase
addressed the report
that he wants one penny.
Jamar Chase addressed the report
that he wants one penny more than
Justin Jefferson. Let's take a listen
to what Jamar had to say about that.
Talk your shit, boy.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Talk your shit, boy. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm talking about.
That ain't nothing but confidence.
That's how you talk when you know you're top three
in the league right there.
You hear me?
Yeah.
That's how you talk
when you know you're top three.
Matter of fact,
his resume speaks for itself
even though it was early in his career.
Matter of fact,
before he even got here,
before he even got to the NFL,
what did he say? I'm coming in, and
I'm going to break every record. What did he do
as rookie year? He broke a record.
Man, that's somebody
you play, you don't even play with him like that.
You give him his money.
And you know what? You know what? A little birdie told
me. What? A little birdie told me, it's
probably going to get done before kickoff.
It's probably going to get done before kickoff it's probably gonna get
done before kickoff for everything he said today is in jest it's probably gonna get done before
kickoff and if it doesn't get done notice also for those that have heard the interview he will
be used in very small minimal packages to make sure he doesn't get hurt but i think it's gonna
get done that's what that's what that's whatie told me. Matter of fact, I'm going to break it
before Adam Sheff to break it.
How about that?
You know you can't play football like that.
You can't play football in small packs.
You can't go out there but not trying to get hurt.
You got to just go balls to the wall.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I'm saying even though he's going to play
but the packages that he's going to be in
are going to be small is what I meant.
I didn't mean he's going to chill. He's going to be in are going to be small, is what I meant. I didn't mean he's going to chill.
He's going to go 100, 0 to 100, but just sparingly in certain packages.
I don't even like the way that sounds.
Exactly.
So if you're going to play, he's one of the best.
You say he's top three.
Why the hell are you playing him in packages?
Oh, because that money ain't right?
Okay, if the money ain't right,
the play ain't right.
Let me tell you something. Now, I want people to understand. Listen, I love
the city of Cincinnati. I love my
Bengal fans. I love the organization.
One thing about it, Chase is
the same one who foregoed his
senior season, don't forget that,
and sat down to make sure he didn't get
hurt.
You hear me?
Oh, I believe it. Yeah, for sure.
Stay with me now, because when I told y'all he's not touching that field
until he gets paid, I want you to understand
what he's already done before.
Oh, he,
you know what, I'm going to forego my whole senior season
to make sure I don't get hurt
and you think he won't sit down
until he gets his money? Come on now.
Y'all better stay with me. That's what I always tell
guys. Look, if you're thinking about holding
out, that year before you're
thinking about holding out on show, I'm saving
everything. I'm telling mama, look here,
we ain't buying no car, we ain't getting
no new house, we ain't buying no jewelry
because I'm going to hold out
because I'm going to get that bread.
Yes, sir. Because you do know when you're in a city, there's an NFL team.
They know everything.
They know what your money is.
And they're like, oh, so you got your mortgages.
How much?
$3,000?
$4,000?
Oh, okay.
You got a car?
How much?
Okay.
And you pay?
Oh, okay.
You'll be here.
You won't be long.
Right.
And you know what
is also scaring me? I'm hearing reports that
T. Higgins
is a hamstring. His hamstring might be bothering him.
But just the day before yesterday, if I'm not mistaken,
it might have been yesterday. Well, actually,
it's after midnight. So,
two days ago, he said he was
feeling the best he's ever felt
in camp. And I think
now a hamstring, and hamstrings are very very
very agitated yeah it's yeah very irritating so i'm hoping i'm hoping all is well with him i hope
it's not anything that would be detrimental where he can't play sunday um so if So if Chase doesn't play and T doesn't play,
we do have some depth.
You ain't got that much depth.
Yeah, we don't have that.
I think we have good depth.
We have good attitude.
I understand what you mean.
T Higgins, what's
the name of that pool that you used to swim at?
Charles Hadley.
They got the kiddie pool,
and then they got the 12-footer in. Okay, y'all got them two guys. If theyley. Now, they got the kiddie pool, and then they got the 12-foot
end. Right. Okay, y'all got
them two guys. If they ain't playing, that's the deep end.
And everything else is the kiddie pool. That's the
shallow.
I don't like that.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm going to tell you
this. Now,
if T and Chase don't play,
and you see them young bulls jermaine burton and
the rest of the boys go out there and act a fool hey i want you to remember what you i want you
remember i told you i told you we had depth i told you hey i told you you didn't pay a whole
lot of attention because he got hurt early that boy christian gonzalez is like that oh yeah that
dv from that went to o? I think he's from Oregon?
Oh, he like that. Let me tell you something.
He's nice, but what he gonna do with Jermaine
Burton out there? Okay. Huh? You
get up there playing around if you want to with that
4-2, 4-3 if you want to from Alabama.
Okay. Huh? Okay.
Yeah.
Christian
Gonzalez is Mexican too, huh? Yeah.
Yeah, that's my dog, man.
That's a homie.
That's a homie.
But he don't want none of the burden.
I tell you that.
He want all that.
Get up there playing around and bump and run if you want to
and don't have no safety help.
Oh, he put hands on him.
You might as well strike the band up.
Bet that.
Okay.
Okay.
Jamar said he'll be a game- decision for the Bengals season open against the
Patriots amid what he called aggravating contract dispute he broke his silence today and said he
would be willing to play this season even if the two sides cannot agree on an extension
but whether he steps on the field Sunday will be up to him. He said, it's my decision.
He isn't the only Bengal wide receiver who could be out.
Tee Higgins, as you mentioned, has been listed as doubtful
after suffering a hamstring injury on Thursday.
Damn.
Damn.
We're going to be good.
Yoshi, Charlie, we we good we got this Jermaine we good I'm telling you matter of fact when I think about it we might have the best receiving core as a whole in the league and I say that respectfully
and probably the second best, I'm talking about
death, from one to
five. The second will probably
be the Packers.
Hey, but them Packers loaded, boy.
You see how Jaden Reed went off
tonight? Now watch when they play, whenever they
play their next game, watch it be Christian
Watson. When they play another game,
watch it be Romeo Dobbs.
Man, them boy... Man, them boys.
Boy, them boys nice over there, man.
They are. Them boys nice.
Kadarius Tony might be a little closer to finding
another team. Yeah. Tony had
a try Friday for the Browns.
Tony previously had a visit to Seahawks
earlier this week. Ocho,
do you believe the Browns would be a good fit for
Tony? They currently have Amari Cooper,
Jerry Judy, and Elijah Moore.
And you know
what? That's three
individuals. That's three
individuals that have the exact same type of
playing style that could Darius
Tony bring to the table.
Exact same. Have you seen Elijah
Rogers run routes? Elijah Moore.
Same way. All of them. Elijah run routes? Elijah Moore. Same way. All of them dropped your ass off.
Elijah Moore from Clemson.
Same way.
Jerry Judy,
you already know how he get down,
especially with them feet.
Amari Cooper, you know where he from.
You know where them two from.
Kadarius Honey has that same style,
but he does offer a different dynamic.
I believe also in a special teams realm
of things that he can do
with kick return and punt return.
So I think that would be a good place for him.
Where else did he try?
The Seahawks?
Yeah, he had a bit to the Seahawks.
I mean, you know, they got Lockett,
they got DK, they got Smith and Jigba.
Jigba, oh shoot.
Well, shoot, they got a three-headed muscle over there, Jigba Smithigba oh shoot they got a three headed monster
in Jigba too
was it Jackson
Smith and Jigba
J.D.N.
or Jackson
yeah Smith and Jigba
yeah man
Smith and Jigba
oh these names crazy
so
yeah I mean,
I hope he lands. I think that sometimes
I think
sometimes
the best thing can happen to a player like
a Kadarius Tony is the situation.
To find himself on the outside
looking in.
It's amazing
what a hungry stomach,
what a growling stomach stomach and bills start to pile
up it'll humble you it'll make you give you a different perspective on things yeah give you a
different perspective on things and understand how small the window of opportunity is that you do have
to play the game that you do love the game game that you cherish and love to play and was always the childhood dream of yours.
It gives you a better understanding.
And my dog going to be all right.
He going to get it right.
When he gets that opportunity again
and that door opens,
Cadareous, I know you're going to see this.
When that door opens again,
young boy, I need you to do me one favor.
Close it behind you.
Yeah.
That's it.
Close it behind you. Yeah. That's it. Close it behind you.
Don't leave
no thought
and no stern
untone.
Go in there
and give a
motherfucking hell,
boy.
Stone unturned.
We get what you
were saying,
though.
Oh,
my bad.
My bad.
You know,
I ain't used that
saying in a long time.
Yeah.
If ever.
