Starting point is 00:03:22 terms, and responsible gaming resources. Ocho, check this out. Talk to me, Natch. Tyreek Hill released his rank of the top 10 quarterbacks this season. It's on your screen. He got two of number one. Lamar Jackson, two. Josh Allen, three.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Dak Prescott, four. Jerry Goff, five. Brock Purdy, six. Jalen Hurts, seven. Kirk Cousins, eight. Jane Daniels, nine. Bo Nix, 10. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Hold on. Now, what we need to talk about before you say anything. Tyreek, when did you make this list? Because I see Kirk Cousins on there, and I'm not sure at what point you made this list, but it couldn't have been just now or recently. It couldn't have been. This must have been early in the season.
Starting point is 00:04:17 I disregard everything he said because he got his quarterback one. Well, you got to put your quarterback. Let me ask you a question. If you got the number one quarterback in the NFL, you got to put your question. If you got the number one quarterback in NFL, you trying to get up out of there? He ain't going nowhere. But do you say that?
Starting point is 00:04:33 No, no. Oh, OK. Wait a minute. You know, right. Right. His quarterback ain't number one. Now, let's let's understand and
Starting point is 00:04:39 remember his frustrations about doing cardio for three quarters and understand why he said that. And they put a camera in front of in front of his face before he can calm down. Remember when we go to the rookie symposium? What did the first say? If you're angry, don't go to the media. Calm yourself down.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Take a deep breath. But no, soon as the game ends, camera right in his face. He's still upset. What does he say? He answers emotionally and says things he shouldn't say does he actually mean it at that time probably but once he comes down and gets back in his right state of mind god damn it i shouldn't say that because i really the mere fact that even if you at the mere fact i'm talking about how bad even though when when when and we're going to talk
Starting point is 00:05:22 about this yeah even when whenv wasn't getting targets, you think Travis want to leave Patrick Mahomes? Nah. Now, the mere fact that he got one omission on that, I don't see the guy. Now, this guy in the last four years, five years, he's won three Super Bowls, three Super Bowl MVPs and two MVPs, and he ain't on this list. And you mean to tell me you thought Kirk Cousins,
Starting point is 00:05:44 you thought Brock Purdy, you thought Dak Prescott, you thought Tua had a better season, and he had a bad season based on who he is. And you think those guys had a better season than him. Listen, and that's what I'm talking about, I guarantee you this list isn't recent. I guarantee you it's not. I guarantee you it's not.
Starting point is 00:06:04 You know? I mean, what's that? Ain guarantee you it's not. You know? I mean, what the hell? It ain't like we pulled it up from three years ago. Right. But I'm just saying, unless this list was made to do exactly. Ocho. Bo Nix is on the list.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Yeah. Bo Nix just got into the league this year. Yeah. But listen, that's what I'm trying to say. James Daniels just got into the league this year. He made this list for this very specific reason. For us to be talking and engaging about his list. About said list. Yes. I like it.
Starting point is 00:06:30 I like it. I like, listen, I like everybody. I like everybody on there. I don't like the Kirk Cousins. I like the Kirk Cousins based on the way he plays. You like Dak Prescott. The guy missed 10 games. Yeah, I like Dak. What you talking about? I'm not worried about him. I'm not talking about him missing the game. I like Dak. We talking about body of work worried about him I'm not talking about him missing the game I like Dak we talk about body of work we talk about resume now I know you what body
Starting point is 00:06:48 hey don't don't listen don't don't just don't don't just don't don't don't disrespect Dak like that don't do that hold on he ain't got your guy hold on you've been on me all year long about Joe Burrow yeah you know you know Ricky ain't no Bengals fan. He don't even watch the Bucs. He ain't no fan of nobody. He should be a fan of, he should have, he should have a tour, should have been number two. Wait, who? The backup quarterback,
Starting point is 00:07:16 Huntley. You been, you been, you been, you need to start like Joe. He ain't got Joe on there. Yeah, because this is his own personal preference on who he feels. We can't fault a man for putting up his preference on his opinion on who his top ten is. Now, if we talk about quarterbacks, our top ten are going to look completely different.
Starting point is 00:07:38 His list, the moment he said Tua was better than Mahomes, we should have disregarded everything when it comes to quarterback that come out of his mouth. So it's null and void after that, huh? Yeah. Yes, because that's so egregious. Oh, Joe, Tua mom and dad won't say Tua better than Mahomes boy.
Starting point is 00:07:56 You won't find nobody in Miami. Put it like this here. If your fan base would trade your quarterback for Mahomes, Lamar, Baltimore A trading, Josh Allen, but everybody else on this list, I guarantee you, they would trade their quarterback for Mahomes.
Starting point is 00:08:16 You think Dallas would take Mahomes over Dak? You think Atlanta would take him over Kirk Cousins? Philly would take Mahomes over Jalen Hurts. San Fran would absolutely take him over Brock Purdy. Detroit would absolutely take him. Oh, I got one for you. Who? Will the Commanders take him over Jaden Daniels?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Yeah, go ahead and think about that one now. Yeah. What? I would. Yeah, hell yeah. yeah go ahead think about that one yeah what I would yeah hell yeah the only the only two well
Starting point is 00:08:50 only one Lamar because now because here's the thing you're gonna have to run the offense see
Starting point is 00:08:58 the thing is Josh Dak that's a drop back Jared Goff drop back right Jalen Hurts he runs a very similar West Coast-style system
Starting point is 00:09:06 to what they run in San Francisco, to what they run in Atlanta. So there ain't going to be a whole lot, ain't going to be a whole lot of drop off. Can you imagine my homeboy with Saquon behind him and AJ and Devontae? You remember when he had Tyreek and Sammy Watkins, right? Oh, yeah. Okay. They were eating. They were eating. Okay. Okay. Can you imagine
Starting point is 00:09:34 if he had Jalen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, John New Smith, and A-Chan? That's nasty. Yeah. I don't see no Mahomes. I don't see no Joe Burrow.
Starting point is 00:09:49 And you got some guys up there, Reek. We wish you well. Oh, Joe. Yeah. Peyton Manning says he believes the team's failed young quarterbacks by constantly changing coaches and system. Yeah. It bothers me that Bryce Young is on his third play call in two seasons.
Starting point is 00:10:05 If you draft a guy, commit to a system, learning an offense is like learning a new language. It's not fair. I agree. Yeah. Most definitely. But listen, you got to understand, the owners are impatient. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:20 The owners are extremely impatient because they're thinking every time we get a player, first round pick, we have to miraculously win right away all of a sudden. And that's not the way it works. Well, J. Daniels and C.J. Stroud messed it up, though. Yeah. Because you see what happened, though, Joe? Yeah. So everybody thinks that it's supposed to happen like that.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Right. But that's few and far between. Payton didn't go. Elway didn't make it as rookie. They're like, you go back and look at some of the greats and see their rookie season. Did not make the playoffs and they did not look good. Everybody's not going to look like a Jane Daniels. No, everybody's not going to look like a CJ Stroud or Andrew Luck or RG3.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And then, you know, Baker played really well. Or Justin Herbert threw 30-plus touchdowns. Every rookie is not going to look like that. We've got to stop thinking, Ocho, that everybody that comes out is ready-made. Sometimes it's like a kid's toy. Some assembly is required. Everybody just want to open the package and just get the toy and just get in there. Yeah, it don't work like that.
Starting point is 00:11:28 It don't work like that. Damn! And sometimes we are spoiled by quarterback play that is extravagant in their rookie season. TJ Shroud. Other people turn the franchise around one season. Jake Daniels turned the franchise
Starting point is 00:11:44 around after 33 abysmal years in one season. Jake Daniels turned the franchise around after 33 abysmal years in one season. Yes. Quarterbacks like that come around every so often. Yes. And then also the other pieces to the puzzle got to be there too. It already had a solid foundation. All you needed was that centerpiece to smooth out the concrete. That's why it looks the way it does. Yes. But see, here's the thing. When you come from the business world, Ocho, you can change a CEO.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And he might have an idea that like, boom. Oh, okay. You know what? Ocho, you know what? Instead of the iPod, what if I do earbuds? What if I do a tablet? What if I do iPad? Right.
Starting point is 00:12:33 So I can do things. I can have a creative. But as a quarterback, you keep changing the play callers. He's learning an entirely different system. Every offseason. How do you expect that, man? Look at the continuity. Even when Brady was
Starting point is 00:12:51 losing coordinators, they was running the exact same plays. That was the same offense. That was the same offense. Brent Favre lost coordinators. That was the same offense. That was the same. You got to have continuity.
Starting point is 00:13:10 He needs to hear that. It might be a different voice, but he needs that verbiage to be the same. Yeah, you can put your spin on it. But that was Charlie White's offense that Bill O'Brien and Josh McDaniels, and then Josh McDaniels came and ran. And then for some reason, Coach Belichick put two slappies in there. They didn't know, you know, didn't know anything about offensive football, and it messed it up.
Starting point is 00:13:36 But Peyton is absolutely right. But the biggest mistake is that you judge, man, hey, man, you see how his old lady treat him? Well, I ain't got his old lady. I got you. So I need to try to make this work with you. Right. And I can't judge my relationship of what they doing over there.
Starting point is 00:13:58 I don't know what he doing. He might be breaking on him with that Louisville slugger. Hey, you know what I'm saying Ocho you got a number two pouncer and so you can't do the damage that he's doing I'm just saying I agree with Peyton 1000%
Starting point is 00:14:16 kind of had a conversation with him about that is that everybody is so quick because they want instantaneous results. Instant gratification and it doesn't work. It's the lottery, Ocho. Ocho, damn get nothing go to work. Let me go buy this lottery ticket
Starting point is 00:14:33 and hit it. Yeah, it don't work like that. That lottery microwave society. Put everything in the microwave and cook it in two minutes. Yeah. And if you do, anytime you have instant instant gratification it's always short-lived always yeah short-lived you're right derrick henry says he doesn't want to be called anything but lightning mcqueen let's take a listen let's take a listen what d henry had to say i don't
Starting point is 00:15:02 want to be calling anything else but mQueen, so don't call me that. Just call me the king. It was funny. I didn't think that would be a comparison, but I told him he needed a community where he's not playing, but I think we got a kick in the ass on the game. Are you telling me I have to watch more movies? Say that again?
Starting point is 00:15:19 Are you telling me I have to watch more movies other than Pixar? No, I just made a suggestion. Were you serious or not? He was like, I'm dead serious. I was like, okay then. McQueen it is. But it was funny. I don't know who he was talking to.
Starting point is 00:15:30 He said I might be too old to watch the movie, but I'm sure everybody knows about the child. And he writes something about McQueen. Hey, well, listen. Derrick Henry has earned
Starting point is 00:15:38 the right to be called whatever the hell he want to be called. If he want to be Lightning McQueen, I'm calling him Lightning McQueen from now on, especially when we talk about the ravens game tomorrow lightning mcqueen it is i don't know where that comes from where that comes from that's from a movie or something cars
Starting point is 00:15:53 you remember the movie cars oh okay okay okay okay okay okay okay old mater yeah hey i got you i got you old mater Mater was my guy. I like Old Mater. God damn. Toe truck. Toe Mater. Man, I used to be a, you know, I used to be like, man, I'm one of those people
Starting point is 00:16:16 that probably think I'm a pervert because I go to, I'll be in there by myself on show. It'd be parents with a theater full of kids. And I'm the only big grown-ass man in there by myself with not one kid. And that's me
Starting point is 00:16:29 anytime the memes comes out. Anytime a meme movie come out, I'm in it with all the kids. Yeah, I'll be looking at me like, uh, what is this big grown-ass man doing in a kids movie? Watching a movie,
Starting point is 00:16:44 that's what I'm doing. Oh, man.

Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair. And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details
Starting point is 00:19:33 of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today.

To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:20:06 Muhammad Ali was never afraid to express himself loudly and boldly and stays true to form in Ali and Me, an eight-part Audible original. Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best. Muhammad had this real sense of his own personal values and principles, things he believed in, his own sense of conviction. Those convictions never wavered. Hosted by Muhammad's wife, Lani Ali, and his close friend, award-winning broadcaster, John Ramsey,
Starting point is 00:20:44 Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the
Starting point is 00:21:10 greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. On a recent episode of Special Forces, World toughest test and reality show on fox cam newton opened up about his struggles of being a father of eight kids saying i'm going into a different phase of my life that's going to require a different form of myself being in the nfl everyone knows there's a large sum of money that comes to you in a short span of time. And being away from the game for three years, those checks don't come in the same.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Like I got eight kids. It hurts me knowing that I can't provide like I once did. It hurts me. It hurts thinking that I'm Superman, but in reality, I'm just a man. I like that. I like that. But also, I think people are taking it a little bit out of context.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Cam is saying, I can't provide the way I once used to when the money was coming in. Cam Newton is still able to provide for his kids, huh? He's able to provide in the way he wants or sees fit based on when he was playing the game of football. He should be able to, though. You should be able to. If people, and obviously out there, if you understand Cam, Cam is a businessman. Cam is a businessman.
Starting point is 00:22:31 You know, I know Cam personally. I know what Cam has going on off the field. Yes. From a business standpoint. So he is able to provide. He just can't provide the way he like based on the kind of money he was making back then. And that's.
Starting point is 00:22:47 That's OK. That's OK. The money when the money when the money does stop coming in like that, things have to. You know, you've got discipline. You got you got to dumb it down a little bit and then instruction a certain way so it can last. You got to remember this 18 years. Well, let me ask you a question. 18 years.
Starting point is 00:23:04 So when you have eight kids what's the likelihood that you if you have eight kids what's the likelihood that you're going to be in the nfl until all of them reach adulthood well it's not likely at all it's not likely at all so you factor you got to factor that in right yeah you have to oh joe when you when you play the game you and i play play. Yeah. And so you and I both speaking from experience. When you factor, when you play
Starting point is 00:23:29 and you're like, okay, if I'm in year five, I'm in year six, the average NFL career is 3.2 years. Yeah. So if I'm in,
Starting point is 00:23:39 I've already, I've already beat the average. Yeah. Let's just say I have an outstanding career. An outstanding career is 10 years. Well, if you still have a kid, you have a kid year 10,
Starting point is 00:23:52 you're not going to be in the NFL when that kid turns 18. Not at all. I think sometimes, sometimes, and let me speak for me. I don't want to speak for anybody else. I'm going to speak for me. I think sometimes the problem that we run into, me, is that I was so focused on football that I neglected. I miss recitals. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:24:18 I miss parents' teacher conferences. I miss football and soccer. So what I tried to do on the back end is try to buy things. Try to make up for it. To make up for it. You can't. And when it came, when I realized I can't make up for time. Not with money.
Starting point is 00:24:37 It's the one currency that you can't buy. It's the most valuable currency. I stopped. Had a conversation with my kids. I said, this is where we are. I said, y'all 12, 13, 14 years of age now. I can't get back what I lost. At that time, 12, 13,
Starting point is 00:25:05 they still didn't understand. Right. It wasn't until they got to college that individually came in like, dad, I appreciate it. I appreciate it. He said, yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:19 sometimes I wish you was there, but there was never a doubt that you loved us. You made sure we had the best of everything. I said, that was the way that I could show you that I love you. I say, because I grew up in a situation, my grandfather and grandmother, they never told me. I knew they loved me because what they said, you got a roof over your head. You got food in your stomach, just like fences. Everything Denzel was telling his son in that movie hey that's what my grandfather and grandmother's
Starting point is 00:25:49 so i knew they loved me and so i think sometimes you try to to to get back what is lost through money through gifts through presents through money you can't do that yeah so now i just try to spend as much time as with them as i can i can't get back what i lost right uh they know why i did what i did now they get an opportunity to see the sacrifices that it takes to be a parent and i've always tried to be there like uh and like when they have when they had questions, be a boy, obviously my daughter, my oldest daughter, she would talk. She was more open and would talk about things like that. My son, a little bit. He kind of a little bit more like me, a little bit more private.
Starting point is 00:26:34 They're all private, but they would open up. And the best thing that I could do is that I could give them a point of view especially the girls from a male's point of view from an athlete somebody that got money and try to help them to the game he said this I said but let me ask you a question he said this but what did he do okay he did this
Starting point is 00:27:03 but what did he tell you because if he tell you he's gonna do it and he did it how you be mad at it and so look and i get what you said because i'm looking at cam and i know people gonna say you shouldn't have had all those kids stop having kids out of wedlock you just had a i think of what six month old seven month old i look i understand i understand what everybody every person's going to say about cam and for me remember i told you this conversation i had what i got with my guy marvin dimoff in 20 29 years he's been my agent and when i got with him i said he's like so obviously you want me to do your contract but what else i said when i'm done i want the exact same standard of living see he's okay so the child support did increase
Starting point is 00:27:53 the private school i didn't want no situation that i had to pull the kids out of private school my i had the same house i was still able to get the same cars, but I had nobody on payroll. I had cars. I didn't have no house over here. I wasn't taking my homeboys. Hey, we going to Cancun or Tulum. And I got, no, it wasn't no bottle service. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 And, you know, hey, all the ones that was, you know, that was going to college. I say, y'all got to get student loans now. Yeah. And, you know, a all the ones that, you know, that was going to college. I say, you all got to got to get student loans now. Yeah. See, you know, it's funny. You see how you would you just said that discipline and that that that structure I had. Oh, you got to have it early. But I had I had it early. I didn't have someone to come and talk to me and say I understood what I was trying to do. The kids that I did have me can ship. We in the, me and Cam, shit, we in the same boat. Matter of fact, we in the same boat. And plus add those that I've added on based on. Your situation, yes.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Yeah. But I was so good financially and understood what I wanted to do. I never played the game of football and thought financially in the now. I was thinking long-term already off the rip, off jump. How you a rookie, you coming in the league as a youngster and your first year,
Starting point is 00:29:17 your first two years, your thought is already out the gate. Get millions of dollars. Hell, what the hell I'm buying a place for when everything I need is right here in the stadium? What am I going to get a place for? Why waste the money? So you already knew what my mindset was in Juneau
Starting point is 00:29:33 when it came to spending money off RIP coming in the league. So as time went on and I started making more and more, I'm nest egging and I'm hoarding everything. And when I did decide to spend money on it had nothing to do with what was coming in on the field
Starting point is 00:29:49 it's everything off the field so now I ain't played a game of football in 10-12 years if you like and I'm still living
Starting point is 00:29:58 the same exact lifestyle that I was way back then as a matter of fact that's also a testament to the individuals I had kids from. You know, they ain't trying to, you know, be out here in image
Starting point is 00:30:12 and, you know, looking nice and designing that. How many kids you have under the age of 18? Three. Everybody grown now. Everybody grown now. I got Cha Cha Kennedy
Starting point is 00:30:29 Cha Cha, Kennedy and French Fry that's the last that's it everybody grown everybody grown I never struggled I never struggled once I left the NFL you know why Ocho? Cause you were cheap like me
Starting point is 00:30:49 no because football was what I did it wasn't who I was I never lost who I was I understood come on now that football was a part of my life it wasn't my life right was I dedicated to it absolutely
Starting point is 00:31:04 but it wasn't my life. Right. Was I dedicated to it? Absolutely. Absolutely. But it wasn't your identity. No. Okay. No. No. I was a small kid from rural South Georgia.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Mm-hmm. I was Mayport's grandson. I was Sterling and Cheryl Sharp's brother. Mm-hmm. I'm the youngest of three. Mm-hmm. A very disciplined,
Starting point is 00:31:23 determined, and dedicated young man. I knew what I wanted from a very young age. I wanted my kids to not have to worry about things that I had to worry about as a kid. I didn't want them to spend one day in a life that I that I had to spend 20 years in. They weren't equipped like that. So how do I make that happen I had a singular focus
Starting point is 00:31:47 a singular focus because I knew once it was over it was going to be over Ocho that's why I never like man man I wish I could have got me no I gave it everything I had 14 years I got look here Ocho I had
Starting point is 00:32:03 I squeezed all the orange, got juice, I ate the inside, and then I took the pill and got zest. I got everything out of that orange. And when I was done, got my shoulder pads, I remember Doug West and Chips, hey,
Starting point is 00:32:22 84, you want your shoulder pads? Put them in a box, put my helmet, put, 84, you want your shoulder pads? Put them in a box. Put my helmet, put my shoes, cleaned out my locker. You know what? I need to make sure before they send it to me
Starting point is 00:32:33 to get rid of all those magazines and those pictures that I got in my locker where you don't have. You know, they send me a little something. I didn't get rid of those. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I don't want them coming to the houses. And somebody, if I had those, but I had to get up and get them both though. But that's the of those. I don't want them coming to the house. And somebody if I had those, but I had to get up and get up and go though. But that's the biggest thing. I think sometimes a lot of times, Ocho, people's identity is tied to the sport that they play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:55 And they get lost with, who am I without it? Who am I? What am I? That's the bad part. And we wonder why the percentage of us that go broke two years removed from the game whatever game is we play we go broke because of that identity that image we try to portray not only while we're playing but once we stop playing when the checks stop rolling in yeah when you keep spending and you ain't got that kind of money coming in. It's impossible.
Starting point is 00:33:27 It's impossible to keep up with that lifestyle. Impossible. Yes. Imagine. It was a time, you know, just for contact with people at home, and I can tell you now it don't matter now. It was a time every goddamn Monday I'm making $350,000 a week. Can you imagine making $350,000 a week?
Starting point is 00:33:44 That's my idea. Man looking i'm looking at dudes now you know um they living their life i can i can imagine what them checks look like you making 350 every every every every monday imagine what they they got 60 million what that check look like looking like today but this is the problem huh is in today's game they plan the young they plan the young bulls much more money right but the young bulls today they feeling like well damn i'm making this much money but it's just going out on and they're not paying attention the more you get people say well you know if you give me more money then i'll be all right but if you ain't got no financial discipline it don't matter what they give you you still gonna still going to overspend.
Starting point is 00:34:26 And when you're going to hook up, man, there don't be nothing left. You got to think about people in the chat. You could just think about this. Think about wherever you from. Think about people that you know personally. It could be in the streets or could be business. They had money at one time, at one point. Somebody was on top of the world.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Where they at now? You at one point. I'm talking about it was hot. It was on top of the world. Where they at now? Unc, you got many stories. You know, you ain't got to say no name. You can just think about the stories. Yeah. You know how many times I had homeboys call, hit me up, that I played with? Can you let me hold five?
Starting point is 00:34:58 Can you let me hold ten? Man, what's that? And they made way more money than I did, Ocho. Man, Unc, what's that going to do for you, though? That ain't nothing. Me giving you five grand, me giving you 10 grand, ain't going to do nothing because you're going to be right back in the same position again anyway.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Because guess what? Because that's what you see what you said. What did you say? Give. Because I don't lend money anymore. I'll only give money back. I know that I'm not going to give back. Yeah. I know you're i'll only give money back i know that i'm not gonna get back yeah i know you're not gonna give it back because why the hell you come to me in the first place right yeah because i hey when i was in the league hey man let your boy hold 2500 i say man if you

I'm going to want my 4-4 money back. What the hell you mean? The bank want theirs. I want mine. So you know what I start doing, don't you? I say, you know what? Hey, here's your one-time withdrawal. Right, and that's it. One time, huh?

Starting point is 00:37:10 you know what Ocho says you set it 5 cents a day 5% on $5,200 and that was 10% that would be $520 so that would be $260 for half, 5%. So $260, yeah, send the $5.

Starting point is 00:39:15 in it being successful yeah but wanna use mine ain't happening alright guys now it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q&A. Damn, I enjoyed
Starting point is 00:39:26 this tonight, but this is a good one. Nick Mars said, Jaden Daniels going to be a problem in the league for a long time. I'm so disappointed that you talking safety the other day and never mentioned Atwater. Dude was a beast. Ocho, will you sign my jersey during the meet and greet in NOLA?
Starting point is 00:39:46 Atwater was a different type of a safety. Atwater was more of an in-the-box safety. Water was great. A teammate of mine from 90 to 98, he left after that one season. In 99, he went to the Jets. But he's been back. He worked for the Broncos now. So me and Water, we have a great relationship.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I was talking, look, there are a lot of safeties that I didn't mention that I have the utmost respect for, but we were talking about the greatest safeties, and I feel for me, Ed Reed is the greatest safety that I saw. Watch don't take. Now, mind you, I played in the era had Ronnie Lott at safety, Rodney Harrison, David Fulcher, you remember Adwater, Brian Dawkins,
Starting point is 00:40:30 John Lynch. I mean, I played against some Troy Palomalu. I mean, I played against some great safeties. But listen, Ed and Troy were different. People don't understand. Ed and Troy were different. Ed, I mean, Ed, obviously he didn't play in the box.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Troy played a little bit more around the box. Yes. Around the line of scrimmage. Special. Goddamn, Ed Reed is the only safe they ever seen. Most of the time, you know, when the ball hikes, you backpedal. Yeah. And I just see Ed look like he's playing punt return to safety and come
Starting point is 00:41:04 forward at the snap of the ball because he knows what's coming because of film study, jumping crosses, and being anticipating, man, I ain't never seen nothing like that. He's the only safety that I've seen completely turn his back. I mean, he would literally be facing the other way, his back to the quarterback and be where he's supposed to be. Where he's back, to the quarterback. Uh-huh. And be where he's supposed to be. Where he's supposed to be, yeah. He was sensational.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Florida man, Jaden Daniels is now tied with Dak Prescott in career playoff wins. I ain't got nothing, I don't even know why they, they ain't got nothing to do with me, but we know.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Because that's where the quarterback makes his money. All the great to be the regular season, but when the money needed, Hey, when we shove all them chips to the middle of the table, single elimination. That's where it matters most.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Huh? That's where it matters the most. Yes. Hello. Three, two, one's where it matters the most. Yes, sir. Hello, three, two, one, six,
Starting point is 00:42:07 five, four. This is the beginning of Dan Campbell's getting treated like Syriana era. Losing both coordinators is going to hurt. Excuse me. Eagle versus commanders. Uh,
Starting point is 00:42:16 Eagles versus commanders. It's going to be nuts. Yeah. He's probably going to lose both of them. Uh, hopefully he got good quality people on staff because they have a good team. Yeah. You have a good team,
Starting point is 00:42:27 but you're going to only get so many cracks at this. You got to cash it in sooner or later. And that window's short. Yeah. Yeah. When the opportunity presents itself, his quarterback, he didn't play well tonight. If you get beat and you play your best football, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:42:51 you're like, you know what? They just outplayed us today. What's painful is when you don't play your best, it's obvious you didn't play your best. And you get it handed to you. Yeah. By a team that everybody thought you were going to beat. Yes. You turn it over.
Starting point is 00:43:08 You bring them up to your level. Ken Williams said, do you think Armand Ross needs the media to tell him Naomi Brown's stats this game gave them bulletin board material and got humble? Me. So let me ask you a question. If Armand Ross St. Brown didn't say anything, would they have played this game on Saturday?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Yeah. That's what I tell them all the time. It doesn't matter if I say a little or say a lot. We still got to kick it off. Yeah. Armand Ross St. Brown played good. He had a great game. did he have 137 140 what did he end up having Ochoa
Starting point is 00:43:50 I think he had a hell of a game yeah but when your quarterback turns it over like that you gonna lose he could have had 300 yards you turn the ball over like that you gonna lose every time let's see what I don't give a damn. He could have had 300 yards. You turn the ball over like that, you're going to lose.
Starting point is 00:44:05 Every time. Let's see what... He had eight for a buck 37, had 10 targets. Gibbs had 14 rushes for 105 yards. Think about it. You have 23 rushes for 201. Quarterback played through for 313. So you had a little 500 yards of total offense, Ocho,
Starting point is 00:44:34 but you had four turnovers. And lost because of the turnovers. That's the equalizer. You played double for those. Well, that first half, man, God, I'm still thinking about that first half. the equalizer. You play double for those. That first half, man. God, I'm still thinking about that first half. Boy, that was some
Starting point is 00:44:50 beautiful football, man. That was an offensive masterclass from both sides of the ball. Wow. What do you call it, man? 70 plus plays. Elijah Moses.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Hey, Uncle Nocho with JD Bo Nix CJ have an exceptional rookie season what do you think expectations for quarterbacks excelling early
Starting point is 00:45:12 in the season gonna look like in the near future that's the problem you can't base somebody else you know that's like you know
Starting point is 00:45:19 hey somebody getting a job right out of college and then you look at something you don't get one and you look at yours like it's a failure. You can't look at it like that.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Some people are going to have success earlier. There are a lot of guys that when I got into the league, they had success, Ocho, earlier. You got in the league. Guys that came out in your draft had success earlier. Damn. We all develop at, you know, sometimes some of us
Starting point is 00:45:44 are fast developers, and some of us are fast developers and some of us, it takes a little bit more time. Everybody just want this thing so instant now. Man, you see what he did? Okay. It puts a lot of pressure because everybody want, like, man, you saw what CJ did.
Starting point is 00:46:06 You saw what Jane Daniels did. Right, man. Bo Nix, three quarterbacks in the park, you know, got their team in the playoffs. So now everybody's going to think that's that bro.
Starting point is 00:46:17 It's not easy making the playoffs. It's even harder winning games in the playoffs because all the focus is on you they've broken you down they know pretty much what you're gonna do how you're gonna do it from down in distance to area on the field to formations got a whole lot of film to go off of yes and those Yes. And those coaches are scouring. They spend 80, 100 plus hours breaking it down. But yeah, it puts a lot of expectations on, you know. It's just like anything, Ocho. You have a girlfriend, they have a boyfriend, expectation. Well, he treated me like this.
Starting point is 00:47:00 Well, she did this. You probably should have stayed with her. Yeah. You probably should have stayed with him. Because I'm me. One thing about it, you know what they say now. Certain people, depending on who you're with, bring a different side of you out.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Yeah. You're right. You're right on your own. You ain't wrong now. Some of them brain good some of them bad he said what
Starting point is 00:47:29 now you you brain the bad out of me I gotta let you go hey
Starting point is 00:47:33 I gotta let you go you hey it ain't so many times I
Starting point is 00:47:38 can argue it ain't so many times you know you come in and talk about this and
Starting point is 00:47:42 that this is that you know any word not at this stage not at
Starting point is 00:47:44 this stage of my life no you know when I was a little bit in my 20s i was a little bit more toxic you know you can wait you waste a little time then you can wait yeah yeah yeah i ain't got okay i i ain't got that many summers i ain't got that many summers hold on i'm gonna use that word. I got to use that in my next argument. I ain't got that many summons, son. Jean Michael. I ain't got that many summons to be told, too. Okay, bet.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I like that. With golf performance tonight, do you think this will create doubt within the Lions team that he's the right quarterback that can lead them to the Super Bowl. No. Had a bad game. He picked the wrong time to have a bad game. He had a bad game.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Yeah. I mean, the guy's going to the Pro Bowl. I mean, he had a phenomenal year. Phenomenal. But see, that's why we love football so much. Because we throw everything you've done out the window. What you did the entirety of the season ain't got no impact on the game right now. At all.
Starting point is 00:48:49 What you going to do tonight? What you going to do today? What you did doesn't impact today or tonight. Today or tonight impacts today and tonight. So, no, I don't think it creates any doubt. Flam said, what's up, Uncle Nocho? What do you guys think about Chris Boyd pushing Frank Ross? Passion or disrespect? Let's go
Starting point is 00:49:11 block. Yeah, he was passionate. I'm trying to figure out, Uncle, what he mad about? You took your helmet off. Uncle, I'm like, hold on. What's he mad about? Can you help? Maybe you know. What was he upset about, Coach? Say, son, I'm like, hold on. What's he mad about? Can you help? Maybe you know.
Starting point is 00:49:26 What was he upset about, Coach? Saying, son, I'm sure he said, look, let's not do anything dumb. Let's not give him any cheap. Is that what you really want to do? That's why you want to start the game on the road, giving up a 15-yard penalty after a 50-plus-yard run back? Yeah. So I'm trying to figure out,
Starting point is 00:49:45 I'm like, so what are you mad at him for? Right. I think what he was hyped about, about making the tackle for one and making the fumble, the fumble happening. I want to see if he realized they didn't get the ball, though.
Starting point is 00:49:56 Yes. You know, and he was so hyped, he ran to the sideline, and that's emotion, him and his coach. Ocho, but he took his helmet off. Oh, yeah, emotion. Emotion, coach. Ocho, but he took his helmet off. Oh, yeah. Emotion.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Emotion. Making a play. Starting the game. He hype. Special team player. I'm not sure if he sees the field often, but obviously making a play like that, a game of that magnitude,
Starting point is 00:50:17 got to look beside himself. Keep your emotions in check. Yes, sir. Because they get you beat. Yeah. Because I'm sure you said, let's not make it a one play where the officials can swing it one way or another. Yes, sir. Dave Smith said, everyone knows when in doubt, 15 is going to 87.
Starting point is 00:50:43 When they need a play, Z, let Kelsey get wide open. I don't think he let, I mean, it was a great play. Yeah, it was. For the big play, kickstarted their offense, and a touchdown to seal the game. Mahomes was out there flopping like in the NBA, give credit for the win. But come on, man.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Those two rough in the passer calls on Mahomes was ridiculous. This ain't the NBA man we're man we're flopping told you flopping especially that one on the
Starting point is 00:51:11 especially that one not really under the chin right here on the shift plate and he slipped a little bit that flag came out so fast
Starting point is 00:51:19 when in doubt uh Repent says when in doubt uh Repent says if the Chiefs dynasty because of controversial cause many people believe it's fixed like the WWE I personally disagree
Starting point is 00:51:39 no ain't nobody gonna remember this I mean a lot of people don't remember when you go back and look they don't realize think about how the Patriots started that was a fumble yeah oh the Oakland game the snow game yes yeah that was a fumble the tuck rule it was so egregious, they took the play out. Yep. Who knows what would have happened? That was the start of a dynasty. Who
Starting point is 00:52:13 knows what would have happened had that play, had the Raiders got that ball? We'll never know. News 864. I know Jerry Jones looking dumb right now. Dan Quinn was in the building last year and he let it walk. Now he's going to the
Starting point is 00:52:29 NFC Championship game. Something Jerry hasn't done since the 95 season. 96. So here we are, Ocho, 29 years. Later. Yes. That was the only reason Dan Quinn didn't take a yacht job the previous year. Because he thought he was going to get the job.
Starting point is 00:52:45 He thought, hey, we're going to let Mike McCarthy go and we're going to let DQ. Dang.

Guided by his own words, this series explores Ali's life and legacy through never-before-heard audio recordings and discussions with those who knew him best.

There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and me, now on Audible. Abdullah Jawad.
Starting point is 00:57:28 What's good, Nightcap? I like what I'm seeing from the commanders. Once Jared Garth threw that pick six, I knew it was over. Good win for the Washington team. And a shout-out to the Kansas City Cheats. It's not Kansas City. You make it seem like Kansas City throwing flags on the other team

Starting point is 00:58:14 because when I, when we think about it, obviously it would be for the athletes, for those who make large sums of money in a short, short amount of time and everyone is too caught up in image, looking a certain way. And, uh, you know, once they make it, they want to make sure they attain that image that they have to portray of having money.
Starting point is 00:58:34 And ain't nobody, ain't nobody dumbing down their lifestyle the way I have, or the way I did, you know, when I was playing the way I do now, you know, they did, they just wouldn't,
Starting point is 00:58:43 they just wouldn't know impossible. And I, I, I see it all the time. I was playing the way I do now, you know, they did, they just wouldn't, they just wouldn't know impossible. And I, I, I see it all the time. I was able to do it during that time when I was playing, because I found a way where I can make my name just as valuable as anything I could purchase. I'm not saying you get, I'm saying. But Ocho, after you got your house,
Starting point is 00:59:10 let's just say, yes, I do. My name was just as valuable. I'm still Ocho whether I'm in a Prius or I'm in a Rose. I could have wore a goddamn trash bag. Oh shit, then go Ocho. It didn't matter.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I didn't need the jewelry. I didn't need the change. I didn't need the change. I didn't need the car. You know, it was nice to have just the fact that knowing I can go get it, that was all I need.
Starting point is 00:59:32 My name was just as big or bigger than anything I could purchase. So there was no point. Ocho, you get $30 million. You're making $30 million
Starting point is 00:59:40 a year. You're like, okay, I'm going to go get my mom and dad a house, so forth. So whatever the case may be. Nice little house. Give them a little $350,000, $400,000 home. Something they can maintain.
Starting point is 00:59:52 They don't need no $2, $3 million crib. Right. Okay. Let's just say, you know what, man? I always wanted me a nice watch. Okay, you want to spend a couple hundred thousand dollars for a watch to take off. Yeah. I get me two, three cars, Ocho. At that point in time,
Starting point is 01:00:08 how many cars do I need? Do I need a block of ten cars, Ocho? Do I need to get... If I get a Ferrari, I don't need a Lambo. If I get a Rolls, I don't need a Bentley. If I get a Lambo truck, I don't need a Cullinan.
Starting point is 01:00:24 You see what I'm saying, Ocho? Yes, sir. Do I really need a $15 million CREA, Ocho? I don't. Do I need to get a private? No, you don't need a private jet. If you want to fly private, get timeshares. Me, personally, hey, unless that's an absolute, I absolutely positively got to get there.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Got to be there. Friendless guys, hey, Delta, we love to fly in these shows. I love being here. Bro, that's all I'm saying, Ocho. I ain't saying don't get some nice things. You want some nice things, your hard work, reward yourself for the hard work. Right. But at what point in time do I need to get like, I need to have 10 cars?
Starting point is 01:01:14 I don't. I don't. And that's the mistake some of us make. We don't need a Lambo truck, a Cullinan truck, a Ferrari, a Lambo, a Bentley, a G-Wagon. Do we really need all that, Ocho?
Starting point is 01:01:37 We don't. We never do. But you know when you're young, you want to live like the rappers, even though you make 10 times more than the rappers. And you see them with all the chains and the cars and the, oh, only if you understand. Oh, IG. Sometimes IG have me question myself.
Starting point is 01:01:56 I was like, well, damn. I be calling my people, hey, y'all ain't paying me enough. Hey, don't. Because how they got all, all i'm like how every rapper fly private uh don't don't don't fall for that i know they're not because i see a lot of rappers on my flight i do i'm talking about big name ones and a lot of these ones that ain't got no big name they probably like well he okay ain't none of my business. Stephan Holmes said, hello from Buffalo.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Josh Allen earns less than top quarterback salary. Josh is about to get a contract extension that's going to pay him probably $290, maybe $300 million. Josh Allen's about to get $61, $62 million a year. Will this postseason impact his chance at top pay, or has he already proven he deserves it? Proven it. Been to playoffs every year.
