Daniel Jones. Damn. What? That escalated quickly, Ocho.

Daniel Jones has officially been waived by the Giants. Saquon Barkley is rooting for a fresh start for Jones. Jones wants to go to a team, go to a playoff team. Huh? Say that again? Wait, read that for me again. Read that for me again real slow. Read it for me again real fast.

What I'm going to do, I'm i'm gonna press rewind and then i'm gonna hit play daniel jones wants to go to a play daniel jones wants to go to a playoff let me wait wait let me let me get this straight so daniel jones wants to go to a playoff team he not he wants to go to a playoff team where they already have a quarterback in in place but i'm assuming he wants to go to a playoff team. He wants to go to a playoff team where they already have a quarterback in place. But I'm assuming he wants to go to a playoff team so he knows what it feels like to win. And maybe be the backup. I'm assuming

that's what he means by saying it. I don't think he means to actually start or contend or compete to be the starting quarterback for a team that always has a starting quarterback. Right? According to Adam Schefter, Jones is expected to have multiple

options, but likely will prefer to finish this season on a playoff contending team where he would be involved in big games rather than going to a Mandarin quarterback-needed team not remotely in playoff contention. But if you go into a team, you're not...

Yeah, I think that has to be what he means. That has to be what he means. But he's already been to the playoffs. Think about this real quick. I don't mean to break it down. I'm not sure how good you are with being able to name all the quarterbacks in the league, but think about all the teams that are in playoff contention

or even in the hunt. Even in the hunt, huh? I mean, how many teams actually need a quarterback? And the one that... Yeah, exactly. Even in the hunt, huh? I mean, how many teams actually need a quarterback? And the one that... Yeah, exactly. That's the whole point. So I think he just wants the experience of knowing what it feels like to win

and to be competing in the playoffs or being in contention in general. It has to be what he means. Go to the conference. But here's my thing, Ochoa. When I look at it, maybe he needs to go somewhere with a different culture because a lot because sometimes it is culture you get you get caught up

um um the way they coach and the way they do things and maybe that's not conducive for you you get into a new situation they practice different they meet different the coaches totally different they talk to you different. I don't know. Look, when I heard it, I'm like, oh, you want to go to them. I can see, Ocho, you're a wide receiver. You're a running back. You're a defensive player. Okay, I get that because there's an opportunity.

But there's only one. Because all the other positions, you can have multiple positions at the same time on the field. But when you're a quarterback, you can only have one. And I'm looking, I'm like, so going to a team that's in playoff consideration or contention, what are you going to do?

Oh, my goodness. I mean, it has to make sense. The only thing that makes sense is based on what he's saying, he wants to be somewhere where maybe he's not going to be the starter. We know he's not going to be a starter, but I want to be somewhere where i can be on a team where i can be a backup if need be i can help but i would like to know what it feels like to be contending or be challenging for a playoff spot with that team that that that that hello that got to be it, obviously.

Yeah. So, you want to rewind that thing? That was a good one. That was a real good one. Elijah Martin said, one question. If the all-time Broncos played the all-time Beatles and won in their prime, who wins?

Shit, we're the dog. We'll stop Ocho the man. Hold on. Who y'all got going to stop. We're going to stop. We're going to stop holding Ocho the man. Hold on. Who y'all got going to stop me? Ocho. Nobody? Ocho.

Who y'all going to stop? Who y'all got going to stop me? Ocho, y'all got one Hall of Fame player. You got two. Who? Me. Y'all got one Hall of Fame player, Munoz. We got two.

I don't need them people validation. You got one Hall of Fame. No, no. So I got two. I don't need them people validation. You got one Hall of Fame player? No. So I guess you a hundred million there. You a billion there too. No, I got about nine, probably about 82 million. Hey, all I'm saying is

that we would beat the brakes off y'all. If you take y'all best to seven, you take y'all best to seven. Chat, open the chat up. Who y'all back winning? The chat donall best 11, you take y'all best 11, chat, open the chat up. Who y'all back winning? The chat don't know. They weren't even laughing. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. We're going to take the Broncos' best

11 players, offensively. Their best 11 defensive players. And we're going to take the Bengals' best 11 offense. Ocho, we're going to beat the dog. Boy, we're going to molly whop y'all. I ask you one simple question. Who the hell finna stop me? Ocho, y'all ain't gonna get the ball, Lord, cause we gonna hit

y'all in the back of your damn head. All I need is two seconds. Ain't nobody getting back there before two seconds. Oh, Lord have mercy. Ocho, if y'all was that good, why y'all didn't win more games? Why y'all ain't got no Super Bowls? I ain't got nothing to do with that. It's a team game. I'm talking about me. I'm talking about me.

Da-da! I'm talking about me. Da-da! Who gonna stop me is what I ask you. Somebody stopped your ass in Cincinnati. Y'all didn't win no playoff games. So somebody stopped you. It's a team game.

Somebody stopped you. It's a team game. We don't level against our level. It's a team game. No, no, no, no. Somebody stopped you. You trying to change the goddamn topic. I asked you a specific question on who the hell finna stop me.

Nobody stop you. So who stop you when you play with the Bengals? Nobody. How many playoff games did you win? Huh? How many playoff games did you win? I don't know. It's a team game.

I'm still talking. Thank you. It's a team game. I'm still talking. Thank you. It's a team game. Our team is nothing to yours. Why are you not? Why are you trying not to? You're not listening to the goddamn question. I said you.

You is singular. I didn't say nothing about us. Okay, Ocho. You're going to have 500 yards, and y'all still getting the hell kicked out you. Now, how about that? Hey. Who going to stop me? Hey, who? Who gonna stop Shannon? You want me

to tell you who gonna stop you? Badly. Well, I can tell you who gonna stop you. Oh, by the time we get Vaughn Miller, we get D-Ware, we get Steve Atwater, we got Chad Bailey, y'all not moving the football. Who blocking Vaughn? Hey, everybody who just got moving the football. Who blocking Vaughn? Hey, everybody

Boy, we had some good battles. That's my boy there. Boy, we going to kill y'all, Ocho. Listen. I mean, I know it's a hypothetical, but it ain't sweet as you think it is. Oh, it's sweeter. I know it's a hypothetical. We got Champ. We got Louis Mike.

We got Akeem Tlaib. We got Chris Harris Jr. Man, we got Atwater. We got Dennis Smith. We got John Lynch. We got Brian Dawkins. Oh, Lord, have mercy. Everything you just named, I'm running

listen, the team ain't here right now. Have you ever had a 100-yard receiving game in the playoffs? Me? Me? You talking to me? The conversation with the Bengals, the all-time great Bengals. Hold on. Are you sure?

Because that might chase. And downtown Eddie Brown and Ivan Curtis, Hold on. Are you sure? Because that might... Chase and downtown Eddie Brown and Ivan Curtis, you might not even be on the roster while you're blubbing your gums. You crazy. You better look at the motherfucking receiving lead in every goddamn statistical category for the Bengals.

You done bumped your head. Who you talking to? While you over there talking, you talking about Chase and Ivan Curtis and downtown Eddie Brown. Hey, now there talking? You talking, you're typing on chains. It's Bonsai Curtis in downtown in the front. Hey, now, now,

I better take your chain. I better be eating pork when I'm done with him. I ain't even worried about age to leave.

Yeah. Hell yeah. You got the right one. You feel me? Get the crayon tree. Put him over there by himself. We gonna win the game. A whole lot to a few.

I promise you. No, you ain't. Trust me, you ain't. I'm gonna talk your whole defense out't. Trust me, you ain't. I'm going to talk your whole defense out of the game before the game even starts. Daniel Jones seemed to say goodbye, Ocho, to the Giants and their fans in today's statement to the media.

And according to Jordan Schultz, there is disappointment among some Giant players regarding how Daniel Jones' situation was handled over the past week, especially with players aware it's primarily a financial decision by the organization. Dexter Lawrence publicly stated on Tuesday, he's quarterback one to me. To me, he's the best quarterback on the team. One offensive player told Schultz over the phone, we're not idiots. They did it because of money.

So be it. But Daniel Jones has been all class, never complained, and is not being completely disregarded. The team record is bad. You can point fingers everywhere. Try to blame him is trash. And making him third string is weak as F. The sense versus the organization within the organization go far beyond just one person. I love what Blaise is saying.

They're saying all the right things. Obviously, because they're on it. Yeah, yeah. But your team, for anybody, if they don't know, even though you are playing the game of football, you're only it yeah but your team for anybody if they don't know even though you are playing the game of football you're only good as your quarterback you're only as good as the person who's at the helm yes again in control of the offense being able to make the right the right and the wrong decisions I mean that's just what it is you know I respect Dexter Lawrence and what he's having to say and some other play other players being upset but how can you be upset

have you watched David Jones play the past three years? Oh, y'all got so much to say now, Ocho. Why don't y'all play better? Not everybody got a part to play. All that talking, you're talking your ass off now. What about play your ass off? Daniel Jones, you play better. Everybody that got a comment, play better.

And let's see what would have happened. Play your ass off, though. So we really can't say nothing about him. He's one of the best in the league, but they have to understand the business. They have to understand the nature of the business, especially when it comes to the money aspect of why they're benching him and making him third-string quarterback. So because of that injury clause, if he happens to get hurt,

which he probably would do, if they do allow him to stay in there, some type of injury will pop up out of nowhere for that million. Yeah. Yeah. Twenty three billion. Yeah. But but here's the thing, Ocho. So y'all make it seem it's about just this year. What about last year? How was he last year? Okay, he got hurt. But look at his body of work. His body of work doesn't justify $40 million, and it definitely doesn't justify running the risk. It wasn't like y'all going anywhere anyway. Y'all make it seem like they bitched a man like they did Russell

Wilson last year. Y'all trash. Okay, trash is a very harsh word. Y'all fermentation. Y'all a landfill. So where you going? Oh, Cho, they make it seem like they had a chance for the playoffs if they'd have left Daniel Jones in there. All Daniel Jones is going to do is look worse and worse and worse.

Fans are going to have, the fans have probably already stopped showing up. But what am I getting out of this? Daniel Jones is not going to be in New York next year. So what am I getting out of that? I'm is not going to be in New York next year. So what am I getting out of that? I'm not winning. He's not going to be there. So what do I get by leaving his ass in the game and continue to start for it, Rojo? I got a question, though.

I'm confused. Anytime that players get benched, is it normal for quarterbacks to apologize? No. What do you apologize for? I don't know if I've quite seen that. I've quite seen that before. Or is it because it's in New York? So it's a little different. You know, I respect what he had to say.

I respect what he had to say as far as, you know, being grateful for the opportunity. But, like, come on, man. Bro, these guys been, come on, man this is look this is pro sports and when there's only two things you can get is it wins and losses that's it that's how you judge he's lost more than he's won okay they say well it's not all the quarterback well who's the mofo that gets the credit when they win they ain't mention no offensive lineman they're not mentioning Dexter Lawrence

they're not mentioning the linebackers who they mention so the problem that I got is that when they a lot of times people like well it's a team game but y'all blame the quarterback when you like here's the thing when you like, it's a team game. When you don't, it's not.

It's really that simple. You and I played this game long enough to understand how the dynamic of it worked. I don't care how good. In today's game, you can't put a team, a great enough team around if your quarterback stinks. Back, you could. Before they changed all these rules, you could run the football, you could play outstanding defense, and you could

hide your quarterback. You could no longer hide him. He's the only position that you cannot hide anymore. Because if you got a weak corner, Ocho, I'll play cover too. I roll coverage his way. I can help him. If I got a weak offensive line, I can just slide protection, or I can I play cover, too. I roll coverage his way. I can help him. If I got a weak offensive line, I can just slide protection, or I can tell the back, chip your way out.

If I got a terrible quarterback, what the hell am I going to do? Hand the ball off 65 times? Not in this game. Not in this past year. You can't. Not today's game. No, absolutely not. You're going to get exposed. And the thing that I love most about sports, but especially NFL, you got to update your resume.

People don't give a damn what you've done in the past. That's what they got to do right now, Ocho. He's a Super Bowl champ, and he won the MVP. And what are you doing right now? Those trophies are on his mantle. Those awards are on his mantle. Those accolades are on his resume. But what does that got to do with right now?

What Nightcap did in 2023 ain't got anything to do with 24. And 24 ain't going to have anything to do with 25. We've got to keep getting better. And we're going to keep the hammer down, getting better. Better graphics, better editing, better social. We're going to get better at everything. That's what we do. And if we

don't, I'm going to need to know why we're not getting better. And I don't like to ask questions. I really don't. We ain't asking shit. Nah. Hey, I'm not a guy that ask questions. Because by the time I come to you to ask the question,

I already know the answer.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.

And I'm not taking any more questions in just a second. I'm going to ask Attorney General... I'm Leon Nafok, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you. Please do.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. 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, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me me now on Audible. Oh, Joe. We had this conversation.

Well, let me go over here. The Jets are a certified disaster and they got messier today. The day began with the team firing general manager Joe Douglas, which was not exactly a surprise. Douglas was 30-64 during the Jets' tenure and never snipped the playoffs. The juicy of all was Woody Johnson wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers

just four weeks into the season in favor of Tyrod Taylor. The coaches present in the meeting were stunned, according to our report, and rightfully so. Johnson backed off, but fired Robert Sala a week later. Fired Robert Sala.

Demoted Nathaniel Hackey. Right. Now, I asked you who was next. See, Green Bay got smart. Green Bay said, hell, y'all, you ain't finna get me

up out of here. Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekas and Mark Purvin. Rudy Johnson wanted to bench Aaron Rodgers in week four for Tyrod Taylor, right?

So the elephant in the room who always been the problem. So you're doing all this firing where you're not getting, putting the right person in the place that needs to be. But how you gonna,

you gonna bench, I ain't never seen nobody bench a quarterback that make that kind of money either. He would've, yeah. So to Woody Johnson, he would've. So now Joe Douglas either. He would have, yeah. So did Woody Johnson, he would have. So now Joe Douglas gone.

But you, Woody, you do realize they use your jet to go fly to see Aaron Rodgers. You do realize you signed off on all this. So where's your coach when they got any of this?

But also, they're expecting to get the Aaron Rodgers to bowl. They're expecting to get the Aaron Rodgers to bowl. They're expecting to get the Aaron Rodgers. They got an old Aaron Rodgers. Bro, everybody ain't going to be. So you thought they was going to turn right around after Tom Brady did what he did. You thought so soon right after that, another guy was going to do that?

What allowed Brady to play as long as he did and as well as he had no major injury after he suffered that ACL injury? That was in 2008. So up until that, he had no injuries. He had no hamstring. He had no injuries that really caused him to miss time. Aaron Rodgers was coming off one of the most serious injury a player in sports can suffer. Right. The Achilles injury.

Plus, he's 40. I don't think he takes the game as serious as Tom as well. Yeah, he doesn't take the game as serious. Of course not. Two totally different type of quarterbacks, especially when it comes to their approach to the game and the seriousness of it and the way they take it. So I could understand if you're coming off an injury like that and you already don't take it serious, you do what you need to do to get back and good graciousness and health to play.

But your approach is still wrong because everything you do talk about when you are on TV, it has nothing to do with the game of football. Nothing. Oh, you're trying to say that. I just don't understand. Every time he speaks it never has anything

to do with damn football. There's always some shit I got to look up in the goddamn dictionary on the goddamn computer. He's talking about going into the dark and he's talking about

these trips and he's talking about this and talking about that. Nothing about building team camaraderie, building team chemistry. And when he could have been doing that, he was in Egypt talking about a trip. Everybody know with that mandatory minicamp, you don't plan nothing around that, Ocho,

because that's the one that you got to be at. Oh, let me tell you. Everybody that understands what the word mandatory means has to be there. But what he failed to realize, what he did in Green Bay ain't got nothing to do. They want to see what you're going to do for the Jets. You heard Tom. I said it when I went to Baltimore. Them Pro Bowls, those All Pros, those Super Bowls.

I've done nothing in Baltimore. I've got to come in, work my ass off to let them see how I became the player I became while I was there. Peyton said it. Tom so eloquently laid it out. He's like, what I accomplished in New

England got to do with Tampa? Tom getting his teammates, hey, let's go to the park. It's in COVID. We ain't supposed to be in the park. We don't have to throw our asses out. That shit was funny. Peyton getting his guys together. He grabbed up Julius and Decker and Julius Thomas and no Sean.

Hey, let's go throw, guys. I think Stokely was there at the time. Or Welker. Let's go, hey, let's go throw. Let's build up some chemistry. Let's build up a bond. Let's get to know. Let me tell you where I want to throw the football.

You tell me where you want the ball, and let me tell you what I'm looking for on this route. Nah, let me go over to Egypt. I've already got this trip planned. Hey, so it is what it is. And you want to, if I'm the Jets, I need somebody to explain to me, why would I want Aaron Rodgers back? Yes.

If Aaron Rodgers is not done, if he's not done, he signed two years, didn't he, y'all? Oh, he has another year? I think he has another year. I'm sure he does. Right. But for what? Why do I want? Tell me why do I want him, Mocho? What am I getting?

A 41-year-old that's a year older than what he is now? So what, he's going to gain speed? He's going to get faster? You know what? A better question is,

if you don't want him next year, what's your next option? What's your next viable option where you can compete and you can, you can, you can contend. Can I compete with Aaron Rodgers? You're telling me what I can't do without him.

What can I do with it? They're three and eight. So tell me, what can I do with it? Cause I can, I can be three and eight without it and save 50 million. Hell, you ain't last place in the division. you were in last place in the division.

If you finish last place in the division with him, I can't finish in last place in the division without him.

But, hey, you understand and you know how difficult that position is, how difficult it is to find a quarterback

for that position. You know that. It takes a while. It takes years. Have they found one? They got one in the position. That was the last time they had one. Think about that. It takes a while. Yes. Have they found one? They got one in the position. That was the last time they had one. Think about that.

That's an even better question. He's been there two years. Yeah. We're going to disregard that. No. Do they got a quarterback right now? They thought they had. Take Rodgers off the back of the jersey.

No. You bringing that guy back next year? Mm-mm. And if he does get the grace to come back next year, it's because of what he's done in the past. If he does get the grace to come back next year, it's based off what he's done in the past. Oh, he's going to get some grace.

Absolutely. Based on that alone. Michael Parsons apologizes for Mike McCarthy comment. When I'm talking about here, I'm thinking about the Dallas Cowboys. I have no reference. I was in the middle school, elementary school, and Mike McCarthy was a Packer. See what I'm saying?

Not a student of the game. Most players are historians of the game. The really good ones, ask T.J. Watt about the defensive player. Ask T.J. Watt about the history of the game. Moving forward, Mike McCarthy was with the Packers. I have no reference to that. Wow. I wouldn't even say that. See, remember we talked

about Anthony Richardson and how he shouldn't say certain things? See, if you keep your mouth closed, people won't know what you don't know. But when you open your mouth, you remove all doubt. I have no reference. So obviously no disrespect to his career

and what he made for himself as one of the winningest coaches. I could have done better. But I thought you didn't say anything. Who apologizes for nothing? No joke. The context of what you said and the way...

But if you're right, I'm standing on it. Are you standing on it, too? You ain't apologizing without your right. Hell, you don't want to apologize when you're wrong. So I don't know what GD. Well, you ain't apologizing when you're right. But anyway, let me continue this. I think people would take that out of context.

OK, they took it how you said it. I wanted to hurry. I want to hurry up out of context. Okay. They took it how you said it. I wanted to hurry. I wanted to hurry up out of the locker room next time. I'll be very careful about what I say. So that's my apologies. What'd you think about that? You should have kept his mouth closed. Huh?

We never knew what he didn't know. You don't know what you don't know. And people don't know what you don't know until you open your mouth. And then you remove all doubt whether or not they know what you know. That's the part. You see, I was heard out of the locker room. Two things that can never be taken back. Words spoken and deeds done. You see, I was hurrying out of the locker room. Two things that can never be taken back.

Words spoken and deeds done. Be careful what you say. Be careful how you treat people. I'm done. At some point in time, Ochoa, we got to stop using excuses. Oh, he young. He young. He ain't no better.

25 is young? He ain't no better. 25 is young? He ain't too young to cash that check. Hey, you know what? I think most of the time, also as well, I mean, the players, especially those that have podcasts, those that like to talk, especially to the media, obviously being a part of the Cowboys, anything you say is magnified because of the star on your helmet. You got to be

a little bit more careful, a little bit more media savvy. Everybody's not media savvy. You got to podcast then if you're not media savvy. You're in the media. You're held to the same standard. You fake reckless, you become reckless. That's what I'm saying.

What if a media member said, I don't know who that player was, you would eat his ass up. It's your job to know. it's embarrassing these kids these young men they're not kids these grown ass men they're kids

masquerading as grown men and it's embarrassing they don't realize how embarrassing it is yeah I just wish guys I just wish these players today, some of them, not all, there's no such thing as all, there's no such thing as every, but a lot of these players, they fooling the fans because we get up here and they talk about what they want to do

and I just want to win. You want to win, but you want to get your numbers. You want to win, but you want to get your numbers. You want to win, but you want to get your stats. Sometimes winning requires you not to do that. And it's okay, because at the end of the day, yeah, who doesn't, Ocho?

But we won. How do I go in good conscience and complain about not getting targets and catches, and we won the game? So is it about my numbers numbers or is it about wins? I just know what it takes to win. Was I the best player? Am I the best player?

I just know what it takes to win. And everything that I've said, y'all come back, oh, you don't know. But that Joel Embiid situation. I told y'all come back, oh, oh, you don't know. But that Joel Embiid situation. I told y'all a lot of stuff. Told y'all about A.B. Y'all, oh, no, no, let that man free. Now look at you. Why ain't nobody offering a man ain't getting no job?

Y'all was gassing him up. Y'all put a battery in his back. Do or sell. No, it was a rechargeable battery. And y'all put a battery in his back Duracell no it was a rechargeable battery and y'all kept it plugged up all I want to do is I'm not into anything Ocho that I

can't win at that's why I don't do a whole lot I'm going to be great at what I do I don't want to be good at a whole lot of ish I want to be great at a few things that's it I don't want to be good at a whole lot of ish. I want to be great at a few things. That's it.

Some people are born great. Some people have greatness thrust upon them. It doesn't matter what you fall under. What do you do with the greatness? Theodore Roosevelt. It's embarrassing. Cowboy y'all are disgusting. Damn.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looked like it might bring down his presidency. Did you make a mistake in sending arms to Tehran, sir? No. It became known as the Iran-Contra affair.

And I'm not taking any more questions. In just a second, I'm going to ask... I'm Leon Nafak, co-creator of Slow Burn. In my podcast, Fiasco, Iran-Contra, you'll hear all the unbelievable details of a scandal that captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago, but which few of us still remember today. The things that happened were so bizarre and insane, I can't begin to tell you.

Please do. To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, your hands can't hit what your eyes can't see. 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, Ali and Me goes beyond the boxing ring to delve deeply into Ali's extraordinary life through conversations with Billy Crystal, Mike Tyson, Rosie Perez, Common, Will Smith, and Bob Costas. It created a North Star for me of how I want to be in the world, you know. As a child, as a young person, he gave credence to my audacity. There's no debate that this is the greatest global sports figure of our lifetime. Listen to Ali and Me, now on Audible. Patriots owner Robert Kraft was passed over again for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

For the 13th consecutive year, Robert Kraft bid to become a Pro Football Hall of Famer, remains on ice. The committee overseeing Hall's contributor category bypassed Kraft in favor of Ralph Haight, who helped set up the original meeting for the league to become the NFL. Kraft supporters would note that since Jerry Jones, who has overseen three Super Bowl teams, is in the Hall of Fame, Kraft should be considering he's won twice as many while also serving on one of the game's most influential figures. Hey, who who did you know?

This is a. I didn't even know. Oh, you know, I am. I'm a historian. I didn't know who it was. Who did Mr. Robert Kraft piss off? You know, this is deeper than what we, what we think it is, obviously for him, not because they've been lied. Let me tell you what's happened. Let me tell you what's happened. When everybody said, when all these reporters,

that spy game, wasn't that big of a deal. It was a bigger deal than what they previously said, because I believe they hold this man culpable for some of the things, because if he didn't know, he should have known. And this happened under his ownership. You can think of it?

That's the only thing I, have you ever, I don't know how much he's been around him, but I've been around him. He's an unbelievable, he's unbelievable. He's one of the nicest men I've ever met he's cordial

he's always asking how you doing how you feel he's honest he's like I appreciate I can tell hey I can tell you do a lot of work

a lot of work and I said some things about his team about some of the players and some of the things on his team he shook my hand he said I'll see you around. And he turned and he turned around and went. I don't get it, because like I said, Ocho, I've been stopped thinking I knew what a Hall of Fame was.

When I saw some guys that didn't get in on the first ballot, I said, I don't know what a Hall of Fame is. You know how that voting goes. You understand the politics that goes into it and that's behind it, especially with those that are doing the voting that are in positions of power and are allowed to control the narrative on who's allowed to get in and who's not. But especially when it comes to an owner like Robert

Kraft, what he was able to do since he became owner of the New England Patriots and winning the Super Bowl, he was able to win with Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. The fact that he hasn't been letting yet, I think, is bigger than Spygate. It's bigger than whatever issues they've had. It's something that we probably don't know about, and it's almost as if it's personal, you know, to this point.

Yeah, it has to be. Because I don't know what other reasons. Yeah. But man's not in. Ocho, they've won six. They lost two. They've been to 10 NFC Championship games. Matter of fact.

They've been to more. Probably been more. Hold on. Have they been? Let's see. They lost to the Broncos twice. They lost to the Ravens, and they lost to the Colts. So they've been to four.

The funny thing about it is the New England Patriots make it look so easy. They think people, it makes people believe it's easy to do. They continually won over and over and over and over and over and over every year that people or the casual fan think it's easy to do. And you wonder why teams continue to struggle reaching that type of consistency year in and year out. It's very, very difficult. It's hard to win a game, let alone continuously go back

to the Super Bowl year in and year out. And the man's 83. What the hell y'all waiting on? Y'all gonna wait the man and then have his son Jonathan and whomever else out there on the

field let that man enjoy this effing moment they should have done put Art Modell in the only time in NFL history they made put Art Modell in.

The only time in NFL history they made the man leave the colors and the records. They didn't do that to Bud Adams. They didn't do that to Al Davis. Al went up and down the coast. Oakland, L.A., back to Oakland, L.A., back to Oakland, to Vegas.

They didn't leave not one color. They didn't leave not one color. They didn't leave not one record. The Rams. Bud Adams left Houston. Mr. Adams left Houston, went to Memphis, whatever, kept the records. The Colts left Baltimore in 84 like a thief in the night and did not tell the NFL

with the Mayflower Vans, go look it up. Ain't leave nothing. They made Art leave the colors and the records. And he was on the TV committee.

Monday Night Football, a lot of things, the Players Association. Come on Football, a lot of things. The Players Association. Come on. What are we doing here? I'm trying to figure out why the reporters are so hell bent. What did y'all lose?

He left for the same reason all the other owners leave. Money. He asked them to help him upgrade the stadium. He leaves and guess what they did. They built us a bigger stadium with nicer amenities on effort Lake area. While municipal stadium. And if you're from Cleveland, you know,

it was a dump. Tortoise overflowing. It was a dump. It was a dunk. But y'all want this man to go bankrupt. Build a nice stadium on Lake Erie. Y'all wouldn't get a man to die. Yeah.

Now he's gone now. Wife gone. One of his sons, David, his oldest, gone. Personal. What are we doing? Personal. Let Mr. Craig. The man, 83.

Y'all want the man to grovel? He's been one of the greatest ambassadors that you could ask for as an owner one of the best and he does everything for the betterment of the league i can't say all of the owners have been like that we won't get into who hasn't been for the betterment of the league but i think y'all guys know mr craft has always done everything what been for the betterment of the league, but I think y'all guys know Mr. Kraft has always done everything. What is in the best interest of the league?

Oh, Joe, the NFL issued a security alert this week about organized and skilled criminals who are targeting pro athletes, including the recent burglary of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey, believed to be tied to South American crime syndicate. Yes, they got your boy.

Uh, FBI is investigating the prime wave of international organized crime. It's legit. One source familiar to the situation told Tom Pelissero, it's a transnational crime ring over the last three weeks. Nah, hell nah, last three years, they focused on NBA and NFL players. It's all over the place.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. You ain't lying. I mean. NBA and NFL players is all over the place. Hold on, hold on, hold on. You ain't lying. I need... We're not talking about home invasions. I mean, how are they doing this as far as the crime ring? What's going on? There's a South

America, there's a gang. They come up. They target athletes because what do the athletes have? Money. They have jewelry. They have valuables. Stuff that I can get in. I can fence, get off of, pennies on the dollar.

Anytime I take something that I didn't pay for, I don't give a damn if I don't get the 15 bucks. That's 15 more bucks than I paid for. So that's money in my pocket. You're stealing high-end watches?

Hey, mine got hit for a mil. Took all, every last watch I had. And they took, what else they took? They took my Christopher backpack, all my cufflinks, all my eyeglasses. But this ain't even hit the news.

I ain't know none of this has happened. Yeah. I think they got Draymond. They got a couple of NBA players. I mean, the last couple of years. Knowing we're players when they're not home. Yep. Somebody said players need to see booby traps.

No, you can't booby trap y'all. They see you after Draymond. How you going to go to jail for booby trapping your own house to catch a thief going in? Do it and find out. No, you can't booby trap y'all. a thief going in? Do it and find out. That's crazy. Yeah, they got Wi-Fi drammers and everything.

Hey, I would tell you, they good. Hey, these guys, these guys are normal criminals. These are... No, no, no, no. They good. They in and out.

They no alarms. They gonna hit it. They gonna get whatever they can get in about 20 seconds. good. They're in and out. They know alarms. They're going to hit it. They're going to get whatever they can get in about 20 seconds. That's scary though, aren't you? I mean, there's really nothing you can do. And then you think about

people that have family and kids. Your wife, your kids there, especially when you're out of town. That gets scary. Yeah. Guys, protect yourself. Protect yourself. Make sure you set your alarms. That booby trap is a good idea.

Now that I'm thinking about it. You're going to jail, Ocho. Booby traps are illegal. They will put you in jail. Even if you catch somebody that's stealing your stuff, you're going to jail. I'm telling you. I ain't telling you something somebody told me.

I'm telling you what I know. There's documented cases. But he was stealing, but he was doing that. Yeah, but you can't do that. So much for the justice system yeah uh you know you got to have you know 24-hour security it's unfortunate that you have to have that but you know high-end people got it, you know, and it's unfortunate.
