Starting point is 00:04:06 and he's the first one of three Bronco rookie quarterbacks to ever throw four touchdowns in a game. I think the first was Marlon Briscoe, 1968. He was also first black quarterback to start a game. Nix completed nine passes to nine different receivers. The Broncos' offense totaled 400 yards, over 400 yards. No turnovers, too. The Broncos scored touchdowns on three of his first four possessions
Starting point is 00:04:31 and their first possession of the second half. Nick has nine touchdown passes, including one rushing touchdown with just one interception in his past four games. He has thrown two interceptions, wow, since week two. And since the start of October, Knicks lead all rookies, all, with passing 1,615 yards,
Starting point is 00:04:53 13 passing touchdowns. Ocho, could Bo Nix beat out Jaden Daniels for Offensive Rookie of the Year? You know, it's a possibility. It's a possibility. If you can string together more games like this,
Starting point is 00:05:08 I think it can happen. But again, I think it's going to be a tall feat. It's going to be a tough task because Jaden Daniels is playing extremely well. Jaden Daniels is playing extremely well as a player.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I think Jaden's coming off a loss, if I'm not mistaken. I think they had back-to-back losses, didn't they? Yeah. Right? Yeah. Oh, he ain't taking the back seat.back losses, didn't they? Yeah. Right? Yeah. Oh, he ain't taking the back seat.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I mean, Bowens played unbelievable. Oh, yeah. He played unbelievable. And I'm not so sure the stats aren't too far apart. Mm-hmm. Now, I know Jayden got off to the great start. He had some impressive, you know, national televised game. We saw him on that Monday night, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:05:44 when he had that dime throw to McLaurin and they ended up beating Cincinnati. They've had some big wins, but Bo Nix, Bo Nix numbers are really good when you look at it. When you look at the way he's played and the Broncos are 6-5 with a chance.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Look, we all believe that Kansas City will probably win that division but the Chargers are right there, look like they can potentially make the playoffs, but I wouldn't think I don't think the Broncos are out of it either No, they're not
Starting point is 00:06:15 Bo Nix has played really well and I think we also need to give kudos to somebody that we jumped on a lot as a coach the way he's coaching, the way he's conducting himself when it comes to, comes to talking and,
Starting point is 00:06:28 and dealing with players. He's done a phenomenal job with Bo Nix, Sean Payton, you know, kudos to you, salute to you and what you've been able
Starting point is 00:06:36 to do with, do with him and turn that Broncos team around offensively and obviously defense, you know what you're going to get from those boys, but offensively,
Starting point is 00:06:44 you never know what you can do with a rookie quarterback and he has bo nicks playing really goddamn well so sean payton i want to give you give you your flowers as a quarterback whisperer that they say you are that that you've done a hell of a job hell of a goddamn job russ is playing well but for whatever reason yeah he and Sean just didn't mesh. It was oil and vinegar. It was whatever things that don't go together. That was it. Gravy and ice cream.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I don't know. Whatever you want to put on Joe, they just didn't go together. Now, I don't know if it was what Sean had heard about Russ before he got there and he didn't give him a chance. I don't know if it was what Sean had heard about Russ before he got there and he didn't give him a chance. I don't know what it was. But this offense looks
Starting point is 00:07:31 different, Ocho. Yeah, completely. It looks different. Now, granted, Bo Nix is a lot more athletic at this juncture than Russ is. Now, we know what Russ was when he first got into the league. He was F'ing Houdini. It was improv. and a lot of Seattle
Starting point is 00:07:48 it got to where at the end that it was all improv for Russ that in order for a Seattle offensive player to work Russ had to be Houdini he had to be a magician but as you know Ocho as you get older and some of that athleticism starts to wane
Starting point is 00:08:04 yeah you gotta be that much better in other areas yes yes As you know, Ocho, as you get older and some of that athleticism starts to wane. You got to be that much better in other areas. Yes. And you look at Russ. Russ looks different. He looks like he's playing with more confidence. It's great to have somebody that believes in you. Mike Tomlin believes in you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:21 He believes in you. G gave him that chance wow uh oh uh oh Ocho we got an update Jamar Chase is angry with the team's inability to close that game ask how do you fix it
Starting point is 00:08:37 he said ask Zach ask the coaches don't ask me I just play football I don't call plays whoa whoa whoa who said that Chase oh
Starting point is 00:08:48 shit there was a situation where they had a first they had they ended up getting the first down right but Joe missed Jamar for a touchdown guys pressed the inside release and the guys collided yeah
Starting point is 00:09:04 and he went straight up the field. And when he threw it, he was jumping up and down. Joe didn't see it. I tweeted it. I saw it. They didn't replay it, but I saw it. I saw it. Sometimes, you know, your quarterback won't always see everything. He won't know what
Starting point is 00:09:20 happened. And the fact that the guys collided, that means the ball really won't come to you anyway. You know, you want to read. And, fact that the guys collided, that means the ball really won't come to you anyway. No. You know, you want to read. And hold on. On that touchdown that Ocho. Just let my mind. Ocho. Which one?
Starting point is 00:09:34 On the long touchdown to T. Higgins. Yes, sir. They got him bracketed. If the safety is inside, why is the corner trying to jump the slug on? Stay on the upfield shoulder. Oh, he corner trying to jump the slug on? Stay on the upfield shoulder. Oh, he's trying to get that pick, huh?
Starting point is 00:09:50 He's trying to get that pick. You got to stay there. Are you trying to get that pick, huh? Oh, somebody said they replayed it. I didn't see it. But I tweeted immediately, and I know I was like, bro, y'all got to play off. I didn't see it. But I tweeted immediately. And I know I was like, bro, y'all got to play off. You can't be that close when you got there.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Because what's going to happen when he pushes up the field and one guy goes and, hey, y'all going to collide. And sure enough, but that's just frustration. He knows they're running out of games. And there are no two-win games on the schedule no sir which means what i mean when people say two win game a game in which you win and you get two victories for it there aren't any of those on the schedule so he knows this was a game this could have started something something really really really really good now look, and the thing is, Ocho, you know you don't want to go into
Starting point is 00:10:46 the bye with a loss. That hurt, Ocho. That ruined your whole bye. I don't care what anybody say. They lied if they said no. It does. It's going to sting. It's going to sting. And then, you know what it does too, also, it put that much pressure on you. It put that much
Starting point is 00:11:01 more pressure on you on the game coming up. We got the Steelers, right? Yep. But y'all got a bye week this week. And T. Higgins. T. Higgins was frustrated with the Bengals saying, we can't finish the effing game. Them boys hot, boy. Them boys hot.
Starting point is 00:11:19 But what we need to do, it ain't even about finishing the game. We need to start that motherfucker first. But it's saying, we didn't start when we had an opportunity to finish it. And we missed two field goals. I would tell you, you missed back-to-back field goals now. And the same way you hooked and left. Damn, bro!
Starting point is 00:11:35 You didn't make no adjustment? Hey, listen. The most difficult, one of the most difficult positions on the field is kicker. It is kicker. You know? One slight adjustment, one slight mistake, a swing of the leg, you not keep your head down at the ball, you know, allowing your foot to sway a little further left than it should, it changes the trajectory of the ball. So as a kicker myself, I understand the difficulties that comes when it comes to kicking the ball. So, McPherson, all you got to
Starting point is 00:12:06 do, you go back to your basics. Same thing with Justin Tucker. You go back to your basics. Go back to your basic fundamentals when it comes to kicking the ball, and start all the way over. Start all the way over and be yourself back up. Mike Brown going to kick himself in the ass, because boy, Chase about to hit them over the head. Oh, yeah. Big
Starting point is 00:12:21 time. Big time. Big time. Big time. And the thing is, he ain't even got no mask. Y'all know it's him. So when you hear something pitch in the back of the head, just tell the cops, Jamar Chase just robbed us. Yeah. As a matter of fact, you know what's funny?
Starting point is 00:12:36 It wouldn't even be a robbery. No, hell no. Well deserved. He earned that. Think about it, Ocho think about it Ocho you lost a game like that and you gotta get think about what time
Starting point is 00:12:49 you gonna get back in the morning oh yeah and you gotta take that long ass flight back matter of fact you know what I should go I should go be waiting
Starting point is 00:12:58 I should go wait wait for them boys at the gate man go ahead no the stadium right here 30 feet from me if I look at my window I'm right next to the stadium well I look at my window and say hey no I'm going to be asleep
Starting point is 00:13:13 you got to realize hold on it's 1 o'clock oh they ain't getting home they ain't even left yet you don't think so? hell no the game ended 2 hours ago the game ended at 847. So they give you an hour to leave from the stadium. The buses normally leave an hour after the game here.
Starting point is 00:13:31 That's 947. Okay, by the time you get to the airport. Okay, now guess what? So they haven't left yet. Okay. And guess what, Ocho? It's still 1 o'clock on the East Coast. Y'all in Central Time, right?
Starting point is 00:13:45 Ohio Central or Eastern? Yeah. So if that's the West 110, that's a four-hour flight. You ain't getting home until 5 o'clock? Matter of fact, I meet them boys when I wake up because you know I get up at 5 in the morning. How far is the flight from L.A. to Cincinnati? Oh, 4 hours and 20 minutes.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Oh, 4 hours and 20 minutes? Maybe 3 hours and 45 minutes because it, 4 hours and 20 minutes? 4 hours and 20 minutes? Maybe 3 hours and 45 minutes. Because it's 4 hours and 20 to Miami. Well, first of all, how are they on the plane if they're still talking to the media? I mean, you know those media clips not live, huh?
Starting point is 00:14:19 They live. Hey, look at them. Oh, it's live? Yeah. And they still mad? Hell yeah. You know the media give you a little time to cool off, take you a little shower, whatnot? Yeah. So you don't say the wrong thing.
Starting point is 00:14:34 That's okay. I'm still mad. I'm still mad. Man, you know, losses like that, Ocho? Yeah, especially like that. And you know losses like that Ocho and you know you could have won and you should have won man please I ain't getting over that anytime soon
Starting point is 00:14:53 and I ain't finna what you call it man hey don't talk I don't want to talk to nobody what the hell we talking about what we gotta discuss besides here's the thing, Ocho. You know, you guys done said the AFC runs through Cincinnati. Now, how it's going to run through Cincinnati if you're not in the playoffs?
Starting point is 00:15:11 Who said that? Don't worry about it. Y'all been doing some talking, Ocho. You know what I think, honestly? What do you think? I'm not trying to put no pressure or say nothing, Chad. Y'all stay with me real quick. I think offensively, I think if we can get, if we can squeeze,
Starting point is 00:15:31 even with the very suspect defensive play, I think we can squeeze in there and find us a wild card spot. We would be a team that a team really wouldn't want to face because of what we can do offensively. How you going to squeeze in there with that defense? You know you got to bring your defense, Ocho. That's why I just talked about the defense first. That's before I even said it.
Starting point is 00:15:51 That's before I even said it. If we can get, hey, that defense we had in the second half, I don't know where them boys was at. Yes. But you got to understand, Ocho, when you get that kind of a lead, teams call games differently because I don't want to do anything. I don't
Starting point is 00:16:05 want to get reckless with the football. I'm not really trying to put my quarterback in harm's way, run a whole lot of scat protection and leave him vulnerable because the last thing I want to do is a scoop and score or pick six. So you get a little bit more conservative because you see when a team just opens up the playbook
Starting point is 00:16:21 on their ass, they go up and down the field. That also tells me they donbook on their ass, they go up and down the field. Yeah. That also tells me they don't trust their quarterback, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But that's Harbaugh. He gets conservative, Ocho.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Right. Damn, my fingers, man. Fuck. The Packers defeat the Bears 20 bears 2019 with a block field goal caleb williams had 231 passing yards in his first game with new offensive coordinator thomas brown who replaced shane waldron who was fired on tuesday chicago's ground got ground game had a strong day gaining 179 yards rushing with williams accounting for 70 of that and two touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Chicago's heartbreaking defeat is their 11th straight in the oldest rivalry in the NFL, and it's the fourth straight this season. Excuse me. The win moved Coach Matt LaFleur to 11-0 against the Bears. The Packers continue to struggle in the red zone. The Green Bay end of the day ranked 29th in red zone touchdown percentage. They went three for five in the red zone. The Green Bay ended the day ranked 29th in red zone touchdown percentage. They went three for five in the red zone against Chicago. Jordan Love was 13 of 17, 261, one touchdown, one interception.
Starting point is 00:17:34 They ran the ball 25 times for 106 yards. They blocked the kick. They blocked the option. Same thing with the Chiefs against the Broncos? Yep. At the most opportune time. I think they're cheating with them field goals
Starting point is 00:17:54 too, man. Squeezing between the gaps. Well, that's my specialty. I've got to find a weakness, Ocho. I'll see who's lazy. I'll see who's stabbing, stepping down hard.cho. I'll see who's lazy. I'll see who's stabbing, stepping down hard. I'm going to see who's doing their responsibility,
Starting point is 00:18:09 and I'm going to watch it. Because you're going to kick a lot of PATs. You're going to kick a lot of field goals. Now, I'm going to see where you're vulnerable. I'm going to see who's giving up their position. And attack that right away. That ain't a number of films studied. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, Jordan Love was 13-17 for 261. He only threw the ball 17 times, Ocho. They only had 25 rushes, so they only had 42 plays. God damn. What was...
Starting point is 00:18:44 You don't count the plays, you make the plays count well that's you know what i ain't got my damn pen and paper man that's what you do um 18 carries for josh jacobs on a touchdown uh christian watson had four for a buck 50 jacobs had four for 55 now romeo dobbs only had one catch, but hey, Kraft, the tight end, didn't have any. Chicago kicking themselves, man. They had this one. Had it, don't you? But you know what? The thing
Starting point is 00:19:16 is, is that bad teams find ways to lose. Good teams find ways to win. The Bears did look better today. They did. teams find ways to win. Mm-hmm. But listen, the Bears did look better today. They did. Yeah, from an offensive standpoint, based on how they looked before,
Starting point is 00:19:33 I'm sure DJ Moore is happy. I'm sure DJ Moore is happy with the changes that were made. Yeah, he got seven targets, caught seven passes. Yeah. Geno Smith snapped Seattle's six-game losing streak to the Niners with a 13 yard
Starting point is 00:19:46 touchdown run in the final minutes of regulation both the seattle touchdown came in the second half was the 49er star pass rusher nick bosa exited the game in the third quarter after re-aggravating a hip injury this was the third time in four divisional games that the 49ers have lost a fourth quarter lead uh being without brandon ib, George Kittles, the 49ers relied heavily on Jawan Jennings, who hauled in a game high nine reception for 91 yards and a touchdown. Thought he played well. Jennings played well.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Jennings is a very good receiver. He's been playing well. Yeah. They ran the ball 27 times for 131 yards. Mack had average four yards of carry. Purdy had five for 40. Brock Purdy threw the ball 21 of 28, 159 interception.
Starting point is 00:20:33 But Geno got on his horses and scrambled in and hit the night-night on him. Night-night? God damn, Geno. Jackson Smith and Jigba. 10 for a buck 10. DK had 7 for 70. They ran the ball four yards of carry.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Kenneth Walker had 14 for 54. And Geno had 4 for 29 with a 16-yard long. These were the games the 49ers normally win. Yeah. But they're losing them now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Yeah. Most definitely. Yeah, I'm glad Geno won this game. But they was on a downward spiral. Yep. Yeah, big downward spiral. So to be able to get a game like this against, against the 49ers,
Starting point is 00:21:27 even, even though they are, they are hampered and hurt. They need, they need to do it. But they still have more than enough talent. They got Purdy. They got McCaffrey.
Starting point is 00:21:37 They got Jennings. They got Debo. Use check. The offensive line is still there. They got more than enough. There's no reason for them to, to have blown this lead. Yeah. line is still there. They got more than enough. There's no reason for them to have blown this lead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 In 2017. But congratulations to the Seahawks. After falling to 2-6 with a week 9 loss to the Bills, Miami has now won two games in a row last Monday against the Rams and today against the Raiders.

Starting point is 00:22:52 Y'all got Buffalo again, I'm certain. Yeah, absolutely. I think y'all probably got the Jets again. Buffalo is a difficult game. Jets is winnable. Okay, you guys got the Patriots at Green Bay, the Jets at home, at the Texans, 49ers at home, at the Browns, at the Jets. So you have the Jets twice. Right.

Starting point is 00:28:26 Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North star for me of how I want to be in the world. You know, as a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our
Starting point is 00:28:43 lifetime. Listen to Ali and me now on Audible. I'm going to be honest. I think most of those games are winnable. They're going to be competitive. What two are we going to get? What tour are we going to get? What tour are we going to get? Can we get a flash
Starting point is 00:29:09 of what we had last year from a production standpoint? You know, I know we're already in week 10, maybe week 11, whatever. It may be whatever week we're going into. But can we get that
Starting point is 00:29:20 offensive production from Tyreek Hill, from Waddle, from Mostert? How's their health? Mostert and A-Tan. Mm-hmm. There's a chance. Well, Tua was, what, 28-36, 288, and three touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Jonu Smith had six for 102. Jonu. Three touchdowns. Got left wide open on a 57 yarder. Tyreek was 7 of 61. He had a touchdown. Jalen Waddle, 2 of 37. A-Chan ran the ball 17 times for 73 yards.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Garner Minshew had two touchdown passes. Brock Bowers is Brock Bowers. He was sensational today. 13 catches, 126 on a touchdown on 16 targets. But it's
Starting point is 00:30:14 going to be interesting. The Texans game, you know, so they got the Patriots next week, and then they got the Jets on, no, they got the Patriots next week, and they got the Jets on no they got the Patriots next week and then they have the Packers on Sunday night in Lambeau? In Green Bay
Starting point is 00:30:32 yes that's Thanksgiving isn't it? yeah I don't like it that's the 28th it's cold in November in Lambeau why are we just getting ready to say that? I don't like that I don't like the fact that you have to go, listen that's been
Starting point is 00:30:48 the Dolphins Achilles heel, when you make it to the postseason having to go play in Buffalo in the cold now it's the regular season, now you got to go the goddamn early December in Green Bay and they got another Sunday night game they got another Sunday night game against
Starting point is 00:31:03 Cleveland, but they're going to probably flex out of that. Cleveland's not going to be that bad. Cleveland's not going to be that bad. But going to Green Bay in December? I don't want none of that. Cleveland in December? Oh, yeah, it's going to be bad.
Starting point is 00:31:19 Yeah. You don't play in Cleveland. You know that water coming out of Lake Erie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. To me, it's bearable. You know, playing in Cincinnati, playing in Cleveland You know that water coming out of Lake Erie Yeah yeah yeah To me it's bearable You know playing in Cincinnati Playing in Cleveland I can deal with that kind of cold That kind of cold they got over there in Green Bay
Starting point is 00:31:34 Oh no sir I ain't trying to deal with it I don't want none of that You like playing in the cold here or not? Yeah I enjoy the cold As long as any Like 30 degrees 40 degrees like when we
Starting point is 00:31:46 started he talked about 20 20 and below oh no sir I don't want to be cold I don't want no part of that what a beautiful day there's a chance beat the Titans 23 1313 with 81 yards receiving. Justin Jefferson now has set a career,
Starting point is 00:32:11 has 6,811 yards in his first five seasons. He passed Torrey Holt of 6,784 for the most NFL receiving yards in a player's first five seasons. Mind you, JJ still has four or five games, six games to go. Five games to six. I think six. Oh, they're eight and two, so they got seven
Starting point is 00:32:42 games to go. Oh, boy. He's going to destroy that. He's going to go oh boy he's gonna destroy that he's gonna destroy that he's the hey JJ the real deal boy and I thought Chase was coming behind
Starting point is 00:32:52 to catch it but I don't think Chase could get it but he was in the lead though Chase was in the lead no I'm saying for most receiving yards in a player's
Starting point is 00:33:01 first 5 seasons oh oh ok ok ok ok ok ok yeah that's crazy he about to smoke this thing receiving yards in a player's first five seasons. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, yeah. That's crazy. He about to smoke this thing. I can see him going What?
Starting point is 00:33:13 What'd you think? 7,500. First five? Yeah, 75. Yeah. And remember, Ocho, if he didn't hurt that hamstring last year where this thing would have been remember he missed like eight games
Starting point is 00:33:28 yeah hey them boys good JJ he had six for 81 today Ocho Jordan Addison three for 61 Sam Donald was 20 of 32 246 two touchdowns whole home game rushing the football.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Will Levensdale have a 98-yard touchdown pass. Calvary really have four for 58. But Minnesota, 8-2, 4-1 away. And sitting right there is going to be a – well, look, I think Detroit's winning that division but you could possibly have three teams come out of the NFC North Ojo
Starting point is 00:34:11 Green Bay, Minnesota and Detroit that's crazy I think you get one NFC South I think you'll get one team who would it be though I think it's going to be the Falcons. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Because the Falcons have already beat every team in that division, so they got a one-and-a-half game lead over everybody already in that division. And I think the Saints have to go to their look. We never know. I mean, look at the Saints the last couple of games, and they beat the Falcons, and they beat Cleveland today. The Falcons lost to the Saints and then got blown out on the road at Denver,
Starting point is 00:34:47 Tampa. The Bankers are having a great season, but they're losing. And Carolina is Carolina. Carolina's Carolina, Ocho. Yeah. Taysom Hill sets a record for the most rushing yards by a tight end of the game. The Saints got the fooled Taysom Hill
Starting point is 00:35:05 experience against the Browns. He was a blocker, receiver, quarterback, running back. He scored three times, but was also picked off throwing deep into the end zone, and he fumbled. Taysom Hill is the first player with three rushing touchdowns, 50 receiving yards, one pass completion in a game since Ed Potilak,
Starting point is 00:35:22 the Chiefs' Ed Potilak. Taysom. Today, he had three rushing touchdowns, 10-yard, a 33-yarder, and a 75-yarder. 75-yarder. He had seven carries on choke, a buck 38. He had eight receptions on 10 targets, 50 receiving yards.
Starting point is 00:35:38 He lost a fumble on a reception inside the Browns' 10-yard line, one interception on an ill-advised deep ball. He had one kickoff return for 42 yards, and he had an 18-yard pass completion. Man, this... And he out here acting like it's backyard football, huh? Yep.
Starting point is 00:35:56 He doing all type of stuff. Remember in high school when you used to be good and they put you at every goddamn position you could play? Find a way to get you the ball. Hey, you quarterback. Hey, hand him the ball. Throw it to him. Hey, you run back punch. You run back kickoff, Zojo. He's doing a little bit
Starting point is 00:36:11 of everything. Yeah. A little bit of everything. And this goes to say, now think about everything he's doing offensively. Now imagine, think about Travis Hunnam. Now see? Hell, if Taysom Hill can do it, even though it's only on the offensive side of the ball, now imagine think about Travis Hunnam now see hell if Taysom Hill can do it
Starting point is 00:36:27 even though it's only on the offensive side of the ball think about what they could do with Travis Hunnam someone who was much faster someone who was much more athletic but they got packages for him yeah I know I'm with you we're not saying what people are getting confused we're not saying
Starting point is 00:36:42 I'm saying he's not playing every snap defensively and every snap offensively. That's what you and I are saying. We're not saying he can't play both ways with packages. Right. Yeah, that's impossible. Can you imagine, think about this, depending on where he goes. For the sake
Starting point is 00:36:59 of argument, let's say he goes to let's see the New England Patriots and the Patriots are playing the Dolphins and you got a couple of Tyreek Hill, one series. Then you think you're going to flip on offense and go play receiver
Starting point is 00:37:18 and still be efficient after exerting that kind of injury. Yes. Injury. Exerting that kind of energy. Yes. Hey, I just put, hey, I'm going to blow him out.
Starting point is 00:37:31 I'm going to make him run. Go routes, go routes, go routes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now somebody come and run in cut, in cut, in cut. Hey, one thing about it, his conditioning is out this world. Oh, Joe.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Everybody gets tired. Everybody gets tired. I get conditioned out of this world. Everybody gets tired. You know that. Your condition was out of this world. You run a couple of them goal routes, what you do? Here, right to the sideline.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Get me on this one. Yeah, yeah. Because think about it, Ocho. You might have to cover Justin Jefferson on what you call him, and then you might have to go up against. I don't know. Let's just say you covering Tyreek and you going up against Jalen Ramsey. How did it work?
Starting point is 00:38:13 I don't like that. I'm just saying, but that's what you got. Just the thought of it. You got to be so motherfucking technically sound. You can't make no mistakes. Yes. You can't make no mistakes. You got to be so motherfucking technically sound. You can't make no mistakes. Yes. You can't make no mistakes. You got to be sharp.
Starting point is 00:38:29 You got to be very, very sharp. Yeah, you got to be locked in. Yeah. Like I said, time played it, but time had packages in which he would play on the offensive side. And that's all we're saying. We're not saying that a kid, they just give up and don't let him play one side of the ball.
Starting point is 00:38:44 We're saying just have packages for him it's unrealistic we just say that he's gonna play 100 nfl snaps every game it's unrealistic yeah hey but you know what i was able to do also on is one thing that is one thing to be able to watch travis hunter from tv and see him making the plays and you see you get to see because you're watching from TV, you see the end product. You see the finished product when the play is made. But I was able to watch him in person at DB. Watch his style, watch his technique with the shade
Starting point is 00:39:13 inside, with the shade outside. He played off, he played man. He was the motherfucker. So technically sound, he's really good on the defensive side of the ball. I want to see how he looked at DB. Man, he was sharp. So he was patient with it, too. I think sometimes, Ocho, he'd be
Starting point is 00:39:29 trying to bait people to throw the ball, and he got him in trouble. Hey, don't you bait nobody in the fair. They're going to take it. You also won't be able to catch up, too. You won't be able to catch up. No. You got to have time speed. You up to him. You won't be able to catch up. No.
Starting point is 00:39:46 You got to have time speed. You got to have Daryl Green type speed to give up that kind of cushion and then go chase the guy down. No, no, no, no. These guys too good. Hear that. These guys.

Wings win Paige Becker's sweepstakes. The L.A. Sparks had the best odds to win the top overall draft pick at 44.2%, followed by the Wings at 22.7 seven Chicago sky at twenty two point seven and
Starting point is 00:43:06 the Washington Mystics at ten point four but it shook out like this the Dallas Wings get the first pick Sparks again get the second pick Sky again get the third pick didn't they have
Starting point is 00:43:22 the third pick last year in that when they took Cardoza the Mystics get the fourth pick and Didn't they have the third pick last year? Isn't that when they took Cardoza? The Mystics get the fourth pick and to the new to the WNBA, the Golden State Valkyries get the fifth pick. UConn senior averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds,
Starting point is 00:43:38 4.5 assists. In her career, she's shooting an impressive 50% from the three. Many wanted to see Paige go to L.A., but Enrique Ogumbamwale is excited about the possibility of playing alongside Paige. She said, I just fell to my knees.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Thank you, Lord. Going to be interesting. Going to be interesting. Time for our last segment of the night Ocho it's time for Q and A let me use the bathroom real quick go ahead watch Ocho come back real quick I don't hear no water running
Starting point is 00:44:17 I don't hear nothing hands ain't be ashy hands ain't ashy mean he ain't washing and then soon as you see you want to dap everybody up dap daddy Derrick said vote up put some respect on Herbert's name I mean bro
Starting point is 00:44:36 what's really going on he played well he got a little tight there in the second half you saw it you saw it. You saw it. I mean, what? I'm trying to, where are we going with this? I think he's a good quarterback. I thought he played very, very well.
Starting point is 00:45:00 See, he heard me. He was listening. Y'all see what he did? Y'all see what he did right there? Y'all see what he did? That way y'all he did right there? Y'all see what he did? That way y'all never know somebody come out here with a towel after they done washed their hands. Y'all see what he did? Y'all see it? What? Don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Don't even worry about it. But y'all saw that, right? Chat, y'all see that, right? What happened? Nothing. Don't worry about it. Chat, what he said? Chat, let me look at the chat. Let me look at the chat. You're talking about me when I'm going here now. I ain't say nothing.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Chat, what he said? Chat. Doo-doo-doo-doo. Y'all saw it? Y'all see what he did? Did the chat. Y'all saw it exactly. He ain't say nothing.
Starting point is 00:45:44 That man want everybody to know that he washed his hands. He come out of the laundry. Now, who come out the washroom with a comb? They drying their hands off. I got to rush back. I didn't want to leave the people in the chair. I didn't want to leave the people waiting. But y'all see, we got it.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Yeah, I made a mess. I made a mess, so I had to, you know. I know. Curtis Thompson said, WTF, no credit for the Steelers, like always. It's cool. No, I thought your defense played really. I mean, you took the ball away, what, three times? And the two-point conversion, y'all stopped him.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Great play by Joey Porter Jr. Look, the Steelers are Steelers. I mean, the six field goals, you guys always do an unbelievable job against the Ravens because you guys
Starting point is 00:46:35 refuse to let Lamar Jackson beat you with his legs. They don't let it... And Mike Thomas, they've come up with the thing, said, if you beat us from throwing the football from the pocket... That's fine. That's on us. That's on us. But again, every time the Ravens play the Steelers or the Steelers play the Ravens,
Starting point is 00:46:54 the Steelers are one of the few teams in the NFL that match up extremely well with what the Ravens do. I always say it's all about personnel. It's all about matchups. And the goddamn Steelers defense matches up very well with what the
Starting point is 00:47:09 Ravens like to do. They do a great job of plastering the receivers because they know Lamar Jackson can scramble him by time and they don't let him throw the ball over their heads. They do a great job of keeping everything in front of them. Give the Steelers credit. Steelers are
Starting point is 00:47:27 a very well-coached team. They're a physical football team. Discipline. They don't back down. But it was a great game, a division game, and I can't wait to see the next matchup. Desmond Hunter said, Uncle Nocho, I feel I need to take
Starting point is 00:47:43 a field goal out of them unless it's after a touchdown. What do y'all think? Because the Steelers win with Bull. No, that's a part of the game. You can't. Now, when the Ravens win games because of field goal, how many games have the Ravens won on the foot of Justin Tucker? Go back and look at
Starting point is 00:47:59 since Chuck been there. Y'all realize as a rookie, he kicked y'all to a victory in Denver. Did y'all forget that? You sure you want to take him out been there? Y'all realize as a rookie, he kicked y'all to a victory in Denver. Did y'all forget that? You sure you want to take them out of there? Can't make no hasty decision because your team lost and another team won doing something that your guys didn't. Had
Starting point is 00:48:15 Justin Tucker made those field goals and you won, would you still want to take them out? Nope. I didn't think so. Francisco Mercedes said, if your team lost today, I want to hear a word, but Norval, Steeler Nation.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Broncos, what do I got to do? Willie T said, sorry, Ocho, the Bengals are cooked. Don't do that. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Don't do that. Because't do that. Don't do that. Because what I saw in the second half from that offense, there's always a chance. There's always a chance. Any team that can come back down from down 21? Down 21? You did. You lost.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I know we lost. I'm just saying we had an opportunity. How did you get down 21? We started off slow, like always. That's been our Achilles heel every goddamn season. Offensively, starting out slow. And what has it gotten you? Starting out slow. So how many games have you won starting out slow?
Starting point is 00:49:20 Four. Is four good or bad that's bad oh okay uh Alan Fletcher said breaking news the Bengals had decided to join the Pac-12 in hopes of making the playoffs
Starting point is 00:49:37 all right all right all right slow down now slow down with okay okay let's simmer down let's simmer down with the jokes. For KT said, with the way Bryce Young playing last two weeks, it's not crazy to say the Chiefs losing on Sunday. Hey, come on now. You got a little too much dip on your chip now.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Yeah, man. I don't know about that one, KT. I'm going to let you have that one. Let's not get carried away now. I understand Patrick Holmes isn't playing well, and the defense gave up 30, but let's not get carried away now. Brian N. said, what's up, Uncle Nocho? Shout out to my Lions as always.
Starting point is 00:50:16 Prayers for Alizon and Zaloni. And Zaloni. And Zaloni. The Broken Forearm. Did you put name on his back? MVP race. and Zalone. And Zalone. And Zalone. The broken forearm. Did he put name on his back? MVP race. Oh, Jerry Goff put his name back in the MVP race. I agree.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Or am I tripping? Nope. I believe he's back in the race. I think Josh Allen is very much in the race. I think Saquon Barkley is in the race. He won't win it, but he's in the race. Absolutely. Honestly, I don't see the Lions offense regressing.
Starting point is 00:50:47 I don't see Jared Goff also regressing, you know, from a statistical standpoint. So I probably see him with, obviously, with him being in the first seed. I see Jared Goff probably winning MVP this year. I can see that, too. Because I think the record, and I think he's going to have, you know. How many games did the Lions have left? Five, six, six.

They got seven games left, Ocho. So theoretically, I can see him throwing 14, 15 touchdowns, put him at 34, 35 touchdowns. With that record, I don't think they lose more than one more game. Yeah, I definitely can see. Laura and Christy
Starting point is 00:57:11 Buffenmeier. Ocho. He isn't upgrading his Wi-Fi, but he can live off of $375,000 for the rest of his life. I love y'all. That's probably why he could do it. Ocho, would you rather
Starting point is 00:57:29 Hector asks, would you rather go 12 rounds with Prime Mike Tyson for 30 minutes with 10 Ocho Cinco's in a cage? No rules. 10 Ocho Cinco's? Because once I knock hell out of the first one, the other nine are going to run up out the cage. No, they ain't.
Starting point is 00:57:46 Nah, you don't want nothing. Not 10 of me, because 10 of me, man, just crazy. Once I hit that spinning back kick like jump bones, ha! Nah. And then 206 elbows, boom!
Starting point is 00:58:00 Boom! Open up like a ripe melon. Why you giving one Ocho elbows boom open up like a ripe melon why you why you why you why you why you giving one Ocho you know elbows the other nine on top of your head now once I
Starting point is 00:58:10 once I kick that once I kick that one in the solar plex they're like man I don't want that and we don't see that we don't think like that we animals
Starting point is 00:58:17 we savage you remember hey you remember when Debo hit red in his eye and he asked his old man you want some of this old man no You remember when Debo hit red in his eye? And he asked his old man, you want some of this old man? No. No. He wants some of this old man?
Starting point is 00:58:38 No. Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy says, Uncle Joe, looking back on your football careers and everything you've experienced since up until now, can you share a moment where you felt so unreal that you could have been straight out of a movie? I think you would have better scenarios or examples of that as far as an unreal moment. You have to think during my tenure and during my playing time here in Cincinnati, we didn't have very many winning seasons where moments that I was able to experience gave me that feeling of unreal.
Starting point is 00:59:12 You know what I mean? Yeah. Being in the wing, I wasn't a contributor like I would have liked to have been. So the unreal moments, if I was to have it, it would have been there. But I just I just wasn't a part of it and I wasn't integrated from a productive standpoint to have that unreal moment feeling even playing in the Super Bowl, it wasn't
Starting point is 00:59:32 it wasn't, you know, unreal and I didn't have that like, holy shit, I really made it because I wasn't a contributor as much as I'd like to be so you'd be better suited to answer that question I mean, obviously, there's nothing like that Super Bowl, the first one. You know, you win two, you win back-to-back,
Starting point is 00:59:51 and then we go to Ravens, and I win three in four years. But that first one was surreal to see people winning the Super Bowl and watching it on television for so many years as a kid, thinking about, man, how cool is that moment? Getting a call that you've been selected into the pro football hall of fame that's a very very surreal moment because like and you know i'm number 267 so there's not a whole lot of men i think maybe how many of them now maybe 350 maybe 350 now so of all the men there's 25 000 men that have played this game coached this game
Starting point is 01:00:29 been gms in this game and there's less than 400 in the pro football hall of fame and i think now oh joe everything everything that i do now it's surreal yeah um 378 um for the people to to know who i am uh right where i mean going being in can france and to hear people say oh and to see people nightcap and to see people say club and cat williams so everything everything everything that we accomplished now, Ocho, it's real to me. Because I still can't believe that I'm like,
Starting point is 01:01:12 that I have like a company and the company is like doing really, really well. And I have like employees. I have like people that are counting on me to do what I need to do to make sure they, you know, get done what they need to get done, man. It's just been,
Starting point is 01:01:27 if somebody would have told me my, my post career would be like this. If somebody like, if you go back, like I'm one day, I'm gonna show people, I'm gonna open up and I'm gonna let y'all see my memory book. If you went to high school, you had a memory book and you wrote down, where are you going to be at 10 years? When are you going to be at 10, 15 years or 30 30 years everything that i wrote down to the t it happened it was my post career that is i still don't i still you know i still can't believe it i mean i wake up and my sister asked me all the time said said, like, does it feel real?
Starting point is 01:02:06 I'm like, it doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. Yeah. Listen, my situation, my transition, my post-career was a little different. You know, it was kind of muddy. The waters, it was foggy. You know, I didn't know where it would go based on my transition after football was over
Starting point is 01:02:30 mine abruptly ended most of the time people of my caliber, high profile individuals that are this we're not afforded second chances many times so the fact that so real the moment where I've been able to overcome obstacles and hurdles
Starting point is 01:02:53 and mistakes that I've made and take responsibility in those and being able to rebound and catapult myself back to where I fell from surreal unbelievable and catapult myself back to where I fell from. Surreal. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:03:07 You know, that ain't that when he, when my grandma and my mama used to talk about God having a favor, you know, he got favor. Cause there's, I mean, there's no been no one else that I can think of that is,
Starting point is 01:03:17 that is messed up to the extent that I have, you know, in front of the world, ordered the second chance. It just, it hasn't happened. But it's a testament to you. Hard work. Receiving forgiveness and not putting, you know, you apologize for the mistake and the mishap that you had.
Starting point is 01:03:43 The greatest apology is change of behavior. You haven't put yourself back in that situation again, and I'm proud of you. You made peace with it. Hopefully, that situation, like I said, all you can do is once you make a mistake or you have a mishap, all you can do is say, you know, made a mistake. I effed up. I'm sorry for the people that I impacted. Both sides were impacted yeah you apologize and you move on and then you don't put yourself back in that situation
Starting point is 01:04:12 Ocho that's all you can do man that's all you can do if Joe Burrow is the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 plus yards with three plus touchdowns zero interceptions and back toback games and lose both in regulation. Joe Burrow on what he said to Evan Ingram, Evan Pearson, excuse me, after missing two field goals, nothing.
Starting point is 01:04:40 What you want me to say? Yeah, you can't say nothing. Kevin Brooks said, if logic is update your resume, then it's safe to say that Unk is still the greatest tight end ever. Always been my giant head goal since Super Tecmo Bowl. Ocho, you play Tecmo Bowl? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:59 I always use Bo Jackson. Lysandre Gibson said, Uncle Nocho got a question. How many plays does an offense have in a playbook? Seems to be like it's 100. Or am I just a viewer? Yeah, that's what we got. 100.
Starting point is 01:05:15 100 plus. Maybe 150. Yeah. I mean, that's what I play now. They might have more now. Because, you know, you have packages. You have first and ten plays uh first and five second you know second and so forth third one to three third and three to five uh third and
Starting point is 01:05:33 long third and long uh fourth down plays short yardage short yardage and goal line red zone backed up four minute offense uh uh uhmeter offense. No huddle. Yeah. And the funny thing about it, there are certain teams that are so creative offensively, you know, and schematically, let's say like a Detroit Lions, a Kansas City team that are very, very creative
Starting point is 01:05:58 with very, very creative offensive coordinators, they can run the same play out of different formations and you wouldn't even know it was the same goddamn play. Right. you wouldn't even know it was the same goddamn play you wouldn't even know it was the same goddamn play you just change you change for it we run the same play just a different formation we'll switch people around
Starting point is 01:06:17 add motion change the splits or condense them have people out wide it's so many different things you can do from a creative standpoint offensively. It's crazy. Devin Bell said two questions.
Starting point is 01:06:34 Why you ask Ms. Pat does she like food and why was Ocho putting a glizzy in his coat pocket? Well, everybody know wherever I go, anytime I go to a sporting event i eat hot dogs i don't care about you know this era and it's this day and age we're in where everybody is is ashamed of eating hot dogs i grew up on hot dogs i'm gonna keep eating my hot dogs and i bought two hot dogs at the colorado game i had one and i saved one i put it in my coat pocket so i could have it later that night because I wasn't paying for no dinner. I didn't want to pay for no dinner nowhere.
Starting point is 01:07:08 When I got to my hotel after the game, I wanted to be able to finish the second hot dog. I warmed it up. They had a microwave in my room. I warmed the other hot dog up and I caught my flight. Cincinnati. That's why I put that other hot dog, a glizzy, in my pocket to save it for later.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Look, I've talked to people that I've had Bruce Bruce on, I've had Lavelle Crawford on, obviously I have Miss Pat, and they're on the heavier set side. And I think it didn't come out the way I wanted.
Starting point is 01:07:40 Clearly, I mean, obviously like food, but I'm like like do they like eat some people eat when they depress some people like just eat
Starting point is 01:07:55 see I'm I guess me I look at it because I'm not I'm not a big eater Ocho yeah I'm not you know I don't. And I guess, you know, but like she, she, she's been a, she's been, like she said, she's been a heavier set girl her whole life. Right. And as we get older, if we still have those same eating habits, it's hard to reduce size when you still eat the same and you don't have youth on your side.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Yeah. And you don't train. You don't work out. She said, I'll try to zip it. I'll try it. She taught all these things. She said, now I'm going to try a treadmill. I swear, man, I had so much fun with this woman, man.

I think she had two kids from a 22, had an abortion at 16. She was molested. She had two kids.
Starting point is 01:09:06 I think she had two kids from a 22-year-old married man. Her step, you know. I mean, you got her story. But she makes even things that I'm sitting there listening to her, and my heart's breaking, but she makes everything funny. She's found a way to take that that pain that hurt and to turn it into laughter and she's made a career out of it and man that woman hey i could just imagine being at the cookout or family function with her because nobody nobody nobody nobody would be safe nobody would be safe uh but it was great she's unbelievable and i'm glad uh that we were able
