Coach O, the Dolphins held on to their slim playoff hopes Sunday by winning by a score of Gommie.
Starting point is 00:04:09 It's the first time in NFL history that a game has ended 32-26 with a win over the Jets. The Dolphins, 6-7, ended the week with an 11% chance to make the postseason and picking up their fourth win in five weeks after 2-6 keeps their hopes alive. Meanwhile, the Jets, 3-10, was eliminated from playoff contention. They extended their playoff
Starting point is 00:04:32 drought to 14 seasons, the longest such drought of any team in the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL. Aaron Rodgers was a little spicy in the postgame when asked about the drought. I mean I've started here one year
Starting point is 00:04:48 so am I part of it for that one year uh oh I have a question did he take accountability for anything no but he had he played
Starting point is 00:05:04 those games that they lost had he played like this no no yeah now maybe it was a situation what i noticed guy as guys start to get older they really love that warm weather you see tom left new england where did he go joe tampa what's the weather like in tamp Ocho shoot right now about 70 75 80 Aaron Rodgers had his best game as a jet where was his game today at Ocho in Miami
Starting point is 00:05:34 where it's hot maybe that's what he needed so if I'm not going to be in the Jets maybe let's see where can I go that's warm weather or a dome? Because, man, when you get old, man, it's cold, man. I don't deal with the cold like I was
Starting point is 00:05:49 dead, don't you? Right, right, right. But, no, I thought Aaron played really well today. I thought he was great throwing the ball. Garrett Wilson played well. Devontae played really well. But my only concern
Starting point is 00:06:05 was my only I had two concerns Rodgers is age coming off an injury and what happens if the defense has any slippage right and that you've got to factor that in because history
Starting point is 00:06:21 if you study history it tells us that the likelihood of your defense being really good and staying there, normally you dip, you come back up, you dip, you come back up. Statistically, only the 85 Bears, the 86 Bears, if you go back and look at it, statistically, it was better than the 85 Bears.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Statistically, 72 sacks had like 30, had about 30 picks, but they didn't win the Superbowl. They got upset. If I'm not mistaken, I think they got upset by Washington. Uh, and then,
Starting point is 00:06:57 you know, that was it. It was 14 and two got upset after 15 and one season. But that was my concern. And like I said, 14-2. Got upset after a 15-1 season. But that was my concern, and like I said, the guys around Rodgers have to play really, really good because Rodgers, at this stage of his
Starting point is 00:07:14 career, he's not uplifting anybody like he once could. And there's no shame in that. There's a reason why Brady went to Tampa. Look what he had. He had a young Chris look what he had he had a young chris mike mike evans he had a young chris godwin he got gronk to come back had a very very good defense this team was very god guys they would have made the playoff the year before had james not
Starting point is 00:07:38 thrown 30 picks they would have made a playoff. They were 9-7. So imagine and he threw for 5,000 yards. 5,100 yards. So let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, he cuts the picks in half. So instead of throwing 30, he throws 15. That's a playoff team all day long.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Easily. And so, no, but I thought Rodgers played well in the book. I mean, God. He just like, I think now the media is just messing with him. They ask him about, hey, what you think about the drought? And he's like, bro, I only been here, I've been healthy for. But the point is, you were supposed to end it though I know you've been here
Starting point is 00:08:28 for a year but and it's still going on right that's the problem that's that's what they really wanted to say but they
Starting point is 00:08:36 they's like they didn't say they didn't say that but that's what they're getting at the New York media is brutal for sure I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:08:44 they'll say some of the things that they want to. For sure. I'm not sure they'll say some of the things that they want to say in your face, but they will sure put it in the goddamn headline. They sure will. And they got a bunch of them. Well, a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:08:54 They'll put it in the headline. You have to have very, very thick skin to play in New York and deal with that media. You have to be able to compartmentalize and separate the two.
Starting point is 00:09:09 If you don't have the stomach or the mental capacity to deal with it, I suggest you don't play in New York and never read the goddamn tabloids or newspapers. You see, a lot of what he was able to say in Green Bay, Green Bay is a home, that's the only show in town. There's no other, they don't got no baseball team. Milwaukee has a team, but that's 90 minutes away. Milwaukee got a basketball team, but that's down the way. They don't got no baseball team. Milwaukee has a team, but that's 90 minutes away. Milwaukee got a basketball team, but that's down the way. They ain't got no hockey team. You got to go to Chicago, but that's the only
Starting point is 00:09:31 show in town. And they write very, very favorable reports about their great players. New York? No such luck. No such luck. They do not care. They do not. They do not. And so I don't know what he was thinking when he went there they don't care about that resume they don't they really don't no at all
Starting point is 00:09:56 all i know is that new york fans y'all owe Zach Wilson an apology. Zach Wilson was five and seven last year. Aaron Rodgers, three and ten. New York, y'all owe them an apology. Now, y'all need to put y'all money together. Put y'all money together and take out an ad in the Post, Page Six, the New York Times, the Daily News. I don't care. Hey, whoever flew that plane over for the Giants,
Starting point is 00:10:29 y'all need to fly one over for the Jets and say we want to apologize to you personally, Zach Wilson. Because it wasn't you. Apologize to me too because I'm the main one. That was, yeah. Zach Wilson. Yeah. Y'all apologize to me too.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Shit. God damn it. Baker Mayfield throws three touchdowns. The Bucs take over first place in the NFC South with a 28-13 win over the Raiders. Aiden O'Connell was carted off the field with a leg and an air cast after the defender hit him late. Antonio Pierce said,
Starting point is 00:11:04 It doesn't look good. Uh-oh. Was that a dirty play, Ocho? Did you see the play? Hey, it's hard to tell what's... Everything is dirty these days, huh? Everything is dirty. You know?
Starting point is 00:11:24 A game of football, the game of football in general, especially for defenders, is reactionary. It's just reaction. You know? It's hard to change being able to react now that the rules have changed. You know? Now, I know what you always tell me. You have to learn to adapt.
Starting point is 00:11:41 And that's something that the players are going to have to do, you know, with the way the rules are going, because they will find you. They will suspend you. They will take your money and keep taking your money until you learn to adapt to the game, because you're not going to cost them in the long run, which is why the rules are the way they are. And I understand that. But again, they're taking away from the game of football and the way it's played. The players have gotten bigger, faster, and stronger, and now you're telling them to find ways to change the way you tackle.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I mean, it's hard. Some people are going to end up hurting themselves. Yeah. You know? I mean, the defenders are in a tough spot. I'm just being honest. They're in a very, very tough spot. They are. I think the thing is, Ocho, is that we got to get away.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Look, sometimes you can hit a guy dirty. I don't intend for him to get hurt. Right. But I still did. I still, you know. Yeah. Did that. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:12:37 So people are like, well, that wasn't his intent. Well, intent only matters to him. The guy's still hurt. Right. Right. Yeah. You know what I'm saying, don't you? Hey, you cut somebody off.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Well, I ain't mean for him to drive off into the ditch or to hit the pole. Yeah, but you cut him off. Yeah. Once you commit that act, I mean, it's kind of like out of your hands now. But I just, like I said, it's kind of like out of your hands now. But I just, like I said, it's, look, the game of football is a physical game. And injuries are a part of the game. You play it low enough, they get you. You get somebody, somebody gets you.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It's just hard to go through and not take, I mean, sometimes I look at somebody here and I'm like, damn. And sometimes, don't you, you have so much adrenaline going, you get hit, you don't realize until the next morning,
Starting point is 00:13:29 like, damn, I'm so, why I'm so sore? Why this hurt? Why that hurt? And then you go back and look at the tape,
Starting point is 00:13:34 that's why. Man, that dude like to kill me. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I remember them days all so well.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah, I don't miss them either. You know, like Steve used to say, I wish those days would come back once more. No, I don't. Oh, no. Well. Yeah, I don't miss them either. You know how Stevie used to say, I wish those days would come back once more. No, I don't. Oh, no. Well, I kind of miss it a little bit.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I don't. I don't miss nothing about them. The Las Vegas Raiders now currently hold the number one pick. The Giants hold the number two pick. New England, number three. Carolina, number four. Jacksonville, number five. The Tennessee Titans, number six. The Jets, number three. Carolina, number four. Jacksonville, number five. The Tennessee Titans, number six.
Starting point is 00:14:08 The Jets, number seven. The Browns, number eight. Chicago, nine. The Bengals, 10. New Orleans, 11. And the Dallas Cowboys, 12. Top 10 pick. How'd that make you feel Ocho
Starting point is 00:14:25 who knows y'all might be able to draft Travis Hunter y'all might trade up get Travis whoa can you imagine no can you imagine cheap ass Mike Brown ain't trading up nothing he better have
Starting point is 00:14:40 he'll have to break that piggy bank over to pay Chase you see what you have when you kick the can have to break that piggy bank over to pay Chase. See? You see what you have when you kick the can down the road? That's that balloon payment. I know you don't remember that. Hey, that's why the housing market crashed.
Starting point is 00:14:56 They used to have what they called, you know, balloon payments on interest-only loans. All you had to do was pay the interest on the loan. You got a 10,000, 15,000-square-foot house that you pay $2,000 a month. Now, that balloon payment, you have to pay that thing off. Right. You see what happened when he kicked that can down the road with Chase? Now, Chase was like, ooh, ooh. And Chase said he got no ski mask.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah. Give it to Luke. Give it to Luke. Yeah. With no mask. Yeah. Oh, I want you to see me. This is what they call strong arm.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Mm-hmm. Hey, now I'm sitting here thinking, now let's think about this now. If right now, based on our record, I'm not sure how the rest of the season is going to go. But what if the Bengals do trade up and go get Travis Hunter? First of all, ain't nobody going to trade you for it. And first of all, that's not how y'all do business.
Starting point is 00:15:47 You know that. I know that. Wait a minute. What we've done is we've turned the culture around and we have a winning culture. The Detroit Lions. We have a winning culture. Let me finish. The Detroit Lions ain't used to have a winning culture.
Starting point is 00:16:01 What do they have now? When have y'all. Okay. Tell me the time that the Bengals have traded up. They haven't, but we're trying to change the culture to a winning culture. But you said y'all had a winning culture. I'm trying to figure out when y'all won.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I didn't say that. I said, we want to have, so we have to make the necessary changes to do so. And if trading up, doing something we have, something we've never done before is going to help us get to do so. And if trading up, doing something we have, something we've never done before is going to help us get to that point,
Starting point is 00:16:27 maybe we can trade up and get Travis Hunter to help bolster that defense. I want to have dreads. How long you think I need to want to have them things? Well, actually, if you want dreads, you can just order the goddamn little cap thing on the line. No, I want the dread. I want to grow them.
Starting point is 00:16:43 I want to grow them out my own school. That's going to take about a year and a half before they lock up. I should lock you up for saying that. I should call the cops right now. Hey, no logs growing on my head. No year and a half. Hey, no. At this stage of my life.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's over. This is what I got. What I got. Your is what I got. Your hair can't grow? I've been just going to grow like this. I ain't going to grow no dreads. I can't grow no locks. You can grow some locks. We just talking about it. If your hair can grow in
Starting point is 00:17:17 general, you can let it grow enough to where you can twist it and it'll lock up on its own. Don't your hair start to itch? Like if I grow a couple of days without shaving, my face start itching. Don't your hair start... All you got to do is wash. You got to wash. You sell some blue
Starting point is 00:17:29 or head and shoulders. No. That's what I use on my hair. No. 49ers beat the Bears 38-13 to spoil Thomas Brown coaching debut. Brock Purdy delivered his third 300-yard passing game of the season with two TDs to Juwan
Starting point is 00:17:48 Jennings. Isaac Guarindo gained 128 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns as well. George Kittle had six catches for 151 yards. That helped deliver the highest scoring game of the season for the 49ers. The defense did the rest and strong pressure and a four-man
Starting point is 00:18:04 line led Caleb Williams getting sacked seven times. The defense did the rest and strong pressure and a four-man line led Caleb Williams getting sacked seven times. The Bears were looking for an emotional boost for the first in-season firing of head coach in franchise history after letting go Matt Eberflus. Instead, they came up on the short
Starting point is 00:18:19 end and one of the most lopsided first half in recent memories. The Chicago Bears, Ocho, were out gained in the first half 319 yards to four for the ninth largest discrepancy since 1991. Damn. I want to know if that's the ninth, who had won? What did somebody have? 500 and they had minus 10? Managed only one first down,
Starting point is 00:18:46 and they trailed 24 to nothing at the break. Shanahan said he only wants to coach in one place, and that's debate. You know what's funny? When you think about the 49ers, I know they played the Chicago Bears. Yes. Bears have been up and down.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Caleb Williams has been up and down. But I always said, famous coach, legendary coach by the name of Bill Belichick said, real football doesn't start until after Thanksgiving. And every time after Thanksgiving, when it matters most, when a team is supposed to go on a run, and they have momentum, and they catch that rhythm and the chemistry of that team and they just play well and they make it to the playoffs and for some reason every time they get to the playoffs they have a nice Super Bowl run I wouldn't be surprised if the 49ers shock everybody and find a way to make their way back to goddamn New Orleans now I could be wrong I could be wrong
Starting point is 00:19:43 I'm just saying, this happens every year with them. Oh, they got so many guys. I mean, you think about your top two running backs out, you got one of your top receivers out, you got Bosa out. Oh, man, you just got so many. I mean, you got so many. Look, you play on the team.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I'm just being optimistic. My bad, my bad, my bad. I mean, look, now, had they did this to the Eagles, had they did this to the Lions, okay, we're on to something. That's a good conversation. Oh, George, he'd beat the Bears. They just fired their coach for the first time.
Starting point is 00:20:18 And the last time a coach left in the middle of the season, he had to go to World War II. So I don't even know if we count that, but I'm just saying. But the 49ers, look, they look good. And that's what I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to look good against a bad team. Shouldn't I look good against a bad team?
Starting point is 00:20:38 Why am I struggling against a bad team? I shouldn't. So they did what they were supposed to do. That's what you're supposed to do. You jump out on the team. You shouldn't. So they did what they were supposed to do. That's what you're supposed to do. You jump out on the team. You don't give them hope. I don't know, but if you go back and look at the second half, they get the ball, they go right down the field and score. I'm trying
Starting point is 00:20:55 to figure out why the Bears do this. Because if we look at the game against Detroit, Ocho, they bulljabbed the entire first half and then come out the second half and they go boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Right down. Why y'all can't do that the first half? Like it ain't nothing.
Starting point is 00:21:09 What am I missing? The play calling. The play calling. The play calling is different. You know, the offensive coordinator, he gets settled in. He gets a little bit more comfortable with some of the plays. He catches the rhythm and the flow of the game. Momentum is probably
Starting point is 00:21:25 on the offensive side. And for some reason, everything you call just happens to work. They got to do something better than this though, Ocho. Yeah, man. Caleb.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Man. Ocho, I know. He's not working, man. Ocho, I know. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about them hits. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm talking about them sacks. Seven, nine, five. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Man, that thing add up, Ocho. Yeah, they do. They do. Charbonneau runs for a career-high 134 yards and two touchdowns as the NFC West leading Seahawks beat the Cardinals 30-18 excuse me, Geno Smith is now a perfect 5-0 against Kyler Murray
Starting point is 00:22:15 Ocho what'd you like about this game? man, that's one of the few games I didn't even see, you know why I wasn't able to see that one? because I was on a plane i saw it and uh that was the only game that was the only game i wasn't able to see i didn't see there i saw all the rest of them but i was on the plane the uh they look good seattle look good um k9 was out charbonneau came in there and ran the ball extremely well.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Obviously, they got guys that can make plays outside. DK, Jackson, and Jigba lock it. And Jigba's turned himself into a very, very, very good receiver. He's catching everything, throwing his way. He's making play after play after play. Would I be surprised if he made the Pro Bowl? No, I would not.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Um, but he, he, he played well today. Um, um, Gino played well, Gino,
Starting point is 00:23:14 uh, 24, 33, 33, one touchdowns, no interception. It wasn't a sack. They ran the ball 31 times for 170,
Starting point is 00:23:21 uh, 76 yards. It jigged by five for 82 on 5 targets. Charbonneau had 7 catches on 7 targets. DK had 4 catches on 6 targets. But they did a great job on Kyler. They picked him twice. They sacked him.
Starting point is 00:23:37 They flustered him. They limited the damage that McBride he had 7 catches, 70 yards, but they did a great job of limiting the big plays that he had. Marvin Harrison Jr., nothing to speak about, four for 49,
Starting point is 00:23:54 zero touchdowns, had a long of 15 on eight targets, but Geno is playing really well. He's playing really well. I think they're going to win that division. Yeah, of course they are. Of course they are. And the reason they're going to win that division. Yeah, of course they are. Of course they are. And the reason they're going to win this division
Starting point is 00:24:08 is because of the quarterback play. And Chad, this is what y'all need to understand. Situation and where you go and where you end up is very important. Very, very important. I need y'all to do, Chad, I got a homework assignment for you. I know most of y'all are probably out of school right now.
Starting point is 00:24:23 I want you to look up where Geno Smith is from. And that will give you a better understanding of why the Seahawks are having success. So look that up and Google it and then write where you're from in the chat. Okay, that's your homework for the night. And the Seahawks
Starting point is 00:24:39 are going to continue to surprise a lot of people, you know, and they're going to have success because of the quarterback play. They got a tough schedule. I know. I know it's tough. I know it's tough. But you know who they'll overcome a tough schedule?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Who are they? The quarterback. They get the Packers next Sunday. Yeah. And then they get the Vikings the following Sunday. They go on the road the day after Christmas to the Bears and then they're
Starting point is 00:25:09 on the road in January at the Rams. We know the Packers are legit. We know Minnesota's legit. Yeah, boy. And the Rams this game might determine whether or not they can sneak a wild card.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Bears, eh. Matter of fact, so that's the next three games, right? The Packers, next Sunday. The following Sunday, Minnesota. The Thursday, after Christmas, that Thursday night game, will be Seattle at the Bears. And then January 5th, they play the Rams. Matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:25:47 I'm going to tell you like this. I'm going to tell you like this. Matter of fact, because Geno Smith is going 4-0 against the next four games. How about that? Geno Smith, a Miramar legend, Dade County legend, is going 4-0 in the next four games.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Anybody in the chat want to bet? Let me know. You ain't said that. You said that man in the jersey yet? You said that man in the jersey yet? Who? The man that bet you that jersey that y'all was going to lose. Hey, I don't got an answer. I'm supposed to get the address to lose. Hey, I don't got it.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Ashley's supposed to get the address from me. Hey, bro. Ashley, she got it. Okay, okay. I got you, cool. I got you. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hey, Ash. Tell Ash
Starting point is 00:26:39 hit your niece and tell her there's some signed jerseys over in there and just ship that out for me. No, go pick it up. Oh, nah, that ain't happening. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles,

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.
Starting point is 00:31:40 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 To hear the whole story, listen to Fiasco, Iran Contra on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Juan Soto is now a New York man Ocho Juan Soto went to the mess he just agreed to the largest deal in North American professional sports 15 years

I'm going to be a rich dude with $765 million wearing H&M and drinking Starbucks and smoking cigars. I'd rather have that kind of money and wear H&M and not have that kind of money and wear H&M. You can wear H&M with 765 just like and wear H&M and not have that kind of money and wear H&M. You can wear H&M with $7.65

Starting point is 00:35:40 And you think Juan Soto better than me? Yeah. I think every baseball player in the major league, triple A, double A, single A, better than you. That's just me. You know what? Well, you know, your opinion is wrong
Starting point is 00:35:55 because I was a five tool in high school. I just chose to play football. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, he had a crowbar. He had a monkey wrench. He had a pipe wrench, a screwdriver. Those were the tools that he had. He spoke.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Oh, oh no. He almost was a handyman. When I was, uh, my senior and junior year, I was slugging. Oh,
Starting point is 00:36:17 two. Oh, two. This is, I hear. Yeah, that's not good. Slugging for two is not good.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yes, it is. I hit four. I hit, I hit two home runs. That's not good. Slugging 402 is not good. Yes, it is. I hit 42 home runs. My senior year. What you talking about? It ain't good. Slugging 402 ain't good. You want to say OPS? My slugging percentage was 402.
Starting point is 00:36:38 .402. What you talking about? That's really not good, Ocho. But okay. College football playoffs are set. Oregon gets number one overall seed. They get a bye. The Bulldogs, with their win, they get number two seed.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Get a bye. The Boise State Cowboys, excuse me, Broncos, the number three seed. They get a bye. And the number four, Arizona State, get a bye. Now, the number 12 seed, Clemson, takes on number five, Texas. Number 11, SMU, goes to Penn State. Number 10, IU, which is Indiana, is at South Bend, Notre Dame. Number nine, the Balls of Tennessee, will be at number eight, Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:37:25 So what we thought was going to happen, the committee pulled a fast one on and says, no, Alabama, you're not going this year. So the inaugural 12-team college football playoff, Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, Clemson, Texas, SMU, Penn State, IU, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Ohio State. So, with that being said, three teams from the SEC. Three teams from, no, four teams. Four teams from the Big Ten because you got Oregon, you got Penn State, you got IU, and you got Ohio State.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Hmm. you got Penn State you got IU and you got Ohio State now you see what Notre Dame said we ain't part of no conference we gonna get all their money all the money come to us so we'll be in a conference in basketball baseball but football we independent so any surprises Ocho? from what I can tell
Starting point is 00:38:27 before you go before I can tell it seems like the home teams are all favored pretty substantially yeah I mean there are no surprises we won't know what's a surprise until the games actually happen and they play because there ain't no telling what's going to happen
Starting point is 00:38:43 when these teams play each other again I've said it before we talked about it Saturday after Saturday actually happen when they play because there ain't no telling what's going to happen when these teams play each other. Again, I've said it before and we talked about it Saturday after Saturday. There has been no team that has been dominant year in,
Starting point is 00:38:53 I mean, week in and week out. There hasn't been any team. They've all shown weaknesses. They've all shown signs that they can be beat. Some of them
Starting point is 00:39:01 have gotten lucky with certain calls and just, you just don't know. So I think it's the toss up between all the games that are being played. And I'm excited to see what happens and what. Yeah. This is the team that makes the fewest mistakes in these games where the level of competition is pretty much even.
Starting point is 00:39:20 That's who wins the game. So the teams that advanced to the championship will have to play one extra game. Yeah. I mean, for the amount of money that's at stake, I'm sure that won't be a problem. These kids are young enough. I don't think the games start. Wouldn't they start the 20th?
Starting point is 00:39:40 I think that's when the first games start. Right. There you have it. Oregon, Georgia, Boise State, Arizona State, Clemson, Texas, SMU Penn State, Indiana, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Ohio State. That is your college football playoffs. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q&A. Green, I
Starting point is 00:40:10 really wish Nightcap would have had a special segment earlier reacting to the college football playoffs. Well, Green, I'm sorry bro, but this is kind of like football Sunday. This is NFL Sunday. Had they had that out yesterday, we could have helped you out, bro. Sorry that we didn't spend as large a time,
Starting point is 00:40:31 but normally the NFL dominate the Sunday show. We do try to get some college in there. Occasionally we'll have Coach Prime on, or we'll react to something Colorado or something worthy of being reacted to earlier. But the NFL was really good today. We had some really great games, and we're starting to shape out to see now the contenders and the pretenders are starting to – one is starting to rise and the others start to fall off.
Starting point is 00:40:56 So sorry about that, but I'm sure we're going to have plenty of time to talk about the college football playoffs and the teams over the next month. Go ahead. Hey, Juan Soto got a Twitter? I don't know. Hey, Chad, Juan Soto
Starting point is 00:41:17 got a Twitter? Which group of receivers do you think are more talented? Baldwin, Kurtz, and Tate, or Pickens, Williams Austin, Jefferson, Frymuth I think Lockett, Metcalf nah Doug
Starting point is 00:41:41 Baldwin and Kurtz and Tate they were really special man they was tremendous after the catch uh as far as talent maybe maybe with Pickens but I think DK is just as talented as Pickens completely different
Starting point is 00:42:08 skill set very but yeah completely different but I understand what you mean uh
Starting point is 00:42:14 that group he had with Baldwin Curse and Tate they were really really good because think about it they made they made
Starting point is 00:42:22 back-to-back football appearances and the thing was they underrated because here's the thing they don't have no big names and when nobody going to the pro bowl i don't think i don't think any of those guys went to the pro bowl i could be wrong now you can correct me if i'm wrong um but they just made plays that's all golden tape when he got the ball in his hands. Oh, you got hell getting him on the ground. Yeah. A Doug Baldwin had the nicest footwork and a route running man.
Starting point is 00:42:52 He was sweet. He was sweet with it, boy. T.S. Carr, Washington D.C. Is Russell Wilson an MVP talk? Nope. He's in the MVP talk. He's in the MVPvb talk he's in the mvp talk for the steelers yeah yeah yeah he yeah what he's done this year uh you got you got josh allen you got saquon you got lamar and you got uh jerry golf right now forar, and you got Jared Goff.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Right now, for me, I think it's a two-man race. I think it's Barkley and Josh Allen. That's just me. What do you think, Coach O? You about right. You about right. I mean, depending on,
Starting point is 00:43:38 I'm sure Lamar Jackson's probably going to come on in these last few games. I'm sure Derrick Henry's probably going to come on in these last few games and change the complexity and the dynamic of this title race. But, hey, Josh Allen is playing well. He played extremely well. Saquon is playing well as well.
Starting point is 00:43:57 But the chance of, I think it's too many quarterbacks that can end the season on a high note where Saquon won't be able to get it. Saquon has to be lights out the next four weeks. I'm talking about lights out the next four weeks. Josh Allen has 23 touchdowns, five interceptions, but hell, he probably has another 10, 12 touchdowns rushing, Ocho. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:44:23 That's what, you know, look, you got Lamar has like 29, 28, 29 touchdowns rushing, Ocho. That's the thing. That's what, you know, look, you got Lamar has like 29, 28, 29 touchdowns, and I think he has five interceptions, or three interceptions. But when you factor in Josh Allen rush touchdowns, I mean, he might have, by the time the season's over, Ocho, he legitimately might have 50 total touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Damn. Yeah. Last year, I mean, Ocho, last year, he had 18 interceptions. He's got five. The year before that, he had 14. The year before that, he had 15. The year before that, he had 10.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I mean, the fewest interceptions, he's only had one season in which he's had single-digit interceptions. Everything else has been double-digit. He's cut the interceptions in half. And guess what? Numbers have taken off. Hey, salute to Arthur Smith. Salute to Arthur Smith. Salute to Arthur Smith.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I'm trying to see. And he's only been sacked 13 times. You can live with that. He's playing really, really well. Gene Michael said, hey, Uncle Nocho, can you guys give me your top five receivers in order in the game today? Order, man. We need to think about that, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Right now, you have to say Chase Jefferson. Hey, he don't get – hey, people want to discount him. I like Puka Nakua. I'm going to put Puka at my top. I'm going to put Puka at my top. I'm going to put Puka at my damn top. Damn. AMC. Amin Ra.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Tyreek? No? Or is it because he's had a down season? Yeah, he kind of been nicked this year well I think what hurt him is that Tua's been out Tua's been hurt
Starting point is 00:46:29 but you know what just because he's still Tyreek I put him in there yeah who you got that's tough I mean listen my 1A
Starting point is 00:46:40 my 1A 1B is Chase and Jefferson um um Listen, my 1A, 1B is Chase and Jefferson. God damn. AJ Brown, Tyreek, CeeDee Lamb. Now, there's some other players that are on the fringe that belong in that conversation as well yeah
Starting point is 00:47:08 Amon Ross yeah who else who else I'm missing I think Pickens is in that tier 1 he coming he coming he definitely coming
Starting point is 00:47:24 tier 1 as well let's see let's go NFC South Mike Evans been hurt this year but we can't he's been out a lot he's Mr. Consistent man
Starting point is 00:47:40 yeah but you know what with the exception of with the exception of Chase and Jeff it's been a quiet year for receivers man they're the only two that's consistently week in and week out now they had
Starting point is 00:47:58 Jetta had that streak where the defense said we ain't giving you nothing we gonna double we gonna triple you we gonna let to double, we're going to triple you. We're going to let Hawkinson, we're going to let Addison, we're going to let everybody else. We're going to double your ass. We're going to stop you. No matter what.
Starting point is 00:48:11 Yeah. But other than that, it's kind of been a down year, except for those two guys. Yeah. That was a good question. Cupcake Mommy. Hi, guys. Just want to let you guys know you're appreciated I think y'all realize how much you help those in dark spaces
Starting point is 00:48:32 you're actually helping me cope with my divorce after 22 years of marriage whoa Cupcake we're sorry Cupcake we're sorry being together with that I can just sorry being together with that I can just imagine being with someone

Starting point is 00:49:57 We are not defined by what happens to us. We're defined by how we overcome what happens to us. Woo! Matthew Young. we're defined by how we overcome what happens to us. Matthew Young says, Ocho, your teeth are blinding, bro. Hey. You know.
Starting point is 00:50:22 You know. Devin Bellaleson. I don't know why these athletes are playing any sport other than baseball. Now I'm wondering if you're going to see someone sign for a billion dollars eventually. Yeah, for sure. You also have to understand the small percentage of people that reach that level of Bryce Harper. Soto. Ron Soto. You know how many Aaron Judge.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Yes. Everybody, boy, it's hard. Yeah, baseball is hard to achieve because, I mean, because at least I think you got 29 players on the baseball team. You got 53 on the NFL roster. Yeah. So you got double. So you got damn to double in a baseball,
Starting point is 00:51:05 NFL roster as a baseball. Plus, baseball, you got to play and start playing at such an early age. Football, we see guys, excuse me, start playing in high school
Starting point is 00:51:16 and can make it to the NFL. You ain't finna start playing no damn baseball in high school and make it to the majors. That ish ain't happening. Nah. You better learn from the age of five or six years
Starting point is 00:51:26 old to pick that damn ball up out of that man's hand. And not be afraid of that curveball. Made for This Mountain is a podcast that exists to empower listeners to rise above their struggles, break free from the chains of trauma, and silence

Starting point is 01:00:17 man please nah there was no acting up with no veteran quarterback not veteran quarterback I ain't talking about like like I said, every veteran quarterback is different. But I'm talking about those, you know. Elite. Yeah, they don't play that boy, John. Kayser Taylor said, oh, Joe, you once said the Pro Bowl should do veterans
Starting point is 01:00:38 versus Pro Bowl players in flag football. Who would you want to be on your 707 team? Seven players. Can't play. Ruin helps. Yeah. He can coach, though. I ain't want no part of that. I got a bunch of dogs that'll come play with me. Like me,

Starting point is 01:01:25 you know, a little fun, just having fun. I think that would be a tremendous, tremendous turnout and a lot of people would love to see that.
Starting point is 01:01:32 The old school versus the new school, you know? We're not trying to be serious. I mean, just the fact that having, having everything integrated from the old
Starting point is 01:01:40 to the new. Man, y'all not gonna be able to move Ocho. Yeah. First of all, Woody ain't running like that. Champ definitely ain't running like that. And y'all going to be, first of all,
Starting point is 01:01:55 and then y'all going to be full sore for three months after y'all play. So I got the new guys. They're going to lose. I'm going to take the guys that have been playing football hey we got Vic at quarterback we need three quarterbacks we have let's say we get Michael Vic we go get Carson
Starting point is 01:02:12 who else out there that's not too far who? Brady Tommy yeah man we a mop we a mop we a mop today
Starting point is 01:02:22 yeah we a mop boy Tony FG said yo Unc I pick up an extra shift tomorrow night cause I'd rather be at work than watch the Cowboys and Bengals
Starting point is 01:02:31 play on the same field at the same time damn damn I don't know I don't know why you say that cause we gonna put up that man said
Starting point is 01:02:40 he would rather work we gonna put up 40 tomorrow the Bengals putting up 40 tomorrow. The Bengals putting up 40 tomorrow. Oh, Lord. I bet you that. But what... Chase might go for 300.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Dig say he shutting all that off. You know, Dig, Dig, Dig, solid. Dig, solid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Bengals putting up 40, though. Well, don't give up 43.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Raphael. Talipi. Guys, we no longer see running like Jerome Bettis, who started to get going after his. You see coming out of the power of Dragon. I mean, look. The game has changed. The game has changed, yeah. I mean, there's only a handful of guys. I mean,
Starting point is 01:03:31 Derrick Henry is really the only really power back that, I mean, no. Because, first of all, they don't want to pay the running back as it is. And then they're going to say, oh, you already got too many hits on you. Hell no, I don't blame the running backs.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I'm running out of bounds. I'm dodging. Hell, you don't already. Because the way they're evaluating a running back, Ojo, his highest value is when he first gets to the lead. Because I got him at 21, 22, 23. Now, how many times? I'm going to probably give him the ball somewhere around 220 to 275.
Starting point is 01:04:08 So by that mathematics, in four years, I've already put 1,000 carries on his body. Hmm. I don't blame him. Unless it's on the goal line, or I need a first down, third and one, fourth and one, I ain't running over nobody.
Starting point is 01:04:29 I'm trying to dodge everybody. I'm treated like I'm trying to cross the street. Ocho, and I'm dodging cars. I'm dodging players. I ain't trying to run over nobody. Because I already see what y'all do. Y'all have already devalued the position. And so what y'all tell me if I get a couple of hits on me,
Starting point is 01:04:44 oh, you know, he got too many hits on his body ocho now at 26 y'all got guys talking about you just think about starting to retire what damn no absolutely not patterson yazzie chad i took my shot and made it she said yes i'm shocked i feel like Luka hitting a step-back game winner. Any first-date advice? Dudes don't. Not a home run, but I'll take a base hit. That's what you need. That's what you need.
Starting point is 01:05:13 I'm a home run. I hit for average. Yeah. I hit for average. There you go. I steal the base. Hey, bro bro look here Ocho said you gotta manage your expectations
Starting point is 01:05:31 she said yes you know just be you if you a funny guy be funny if you a serious guy be serious if you a combination of both at the end of the day I got you got to be who you are bro
