Uh-oh, oh, Joe.

Cam Hayward is open to setting out regular season games in search of a raise.

Cam Hayward, who is the 22nd highest paid DT, said he's looking to be valued.

It's hard for me after the year I had to really justify playing at that number I'm playing at.

Hayward said the team asked him to take a pay cut last summer.

They ironed out a rework deal instead that runs through 2026.

Hayward responded by bouncing back from an injury mark 2023 season to finish with eight sacks, 71 tackles, 11 pass defense as the Steelers went 10 and 7 and reached the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.

Hey, listen, Cam Hayward said, I can't play at 15 million.

Now, those that are on the outside watching fans, NFL fans, oh, the first thing they're going to say, oh, my goodness, you can't play on $15 million.

They don't see it from that perspective of actually being an athlete, being an all-pro player, and being a D-tackle, that I'm not sure when it comes to D-tackles, where he's ranked, when it comes to tackles in the NFL right now, as far as where he should be slated at.

Right.

Next to Lawrence, one of the betters, the Ed Olivers, one of the betters.

Aaron Donald, no longer here.

He's different because he's a five-technique.

Right.

Because they're a 3-4 defense.

So he's not like in your typical, like a Warren Sapp.

He's not like

Aaron Donald.

Aaron Donald was in the 43.

He's a 3-4.

He's more of a J.J.

Watt.

He's a five-technique.

And so

I'm going to try to keep it simple.

But if you notice,

they got a nose tackle.

They got two ends and they got two linebackers.

So they got four linebackers, Sam and a wheel, a Mike and a plug.

And they got three down linemen.

He's what we call a five technique.

He's a defensive end, but he's playing a five technique.

Not the three technique or what we call the under tackle that Joe Green made famous.

And the Warren Saps, the Johnny Randles, and those uh, the Aaron Donalds, those type of guys.

He's a five-tech, yeah.

And so, with that being said, but I, the Steelers say, Hold on, bro, we just redid your contract that last year, last year, yeah.

But they asked him to take a pay cut, they asked him to take a pay cut.

I'm assuming because of his injury, and his play might have been down, right?

So, is it warranted that he gets a raise after making all pro?

He should have just signed a one-year deal.

I agree with you, Ocho.

I'm just from a Steelers

perspective.

Yes, sir.

Okay, Ocho.

You come in there, you're like, oh, hey, bro, I want to, hey, man, I need such and such.

Well, you know, Ocho, you didn't have the best year now.

Okay.

So what you thinking?

Well,

how about this?

We're going to take we're going to we're going to do this.

We're going to get you we'll give you 29 We'll give you 29 million for the next two years.

Well, that's the risk that you run.

Yeah.

Because what he didn't expect was for the defensive market to explode like it has.

So now what looked like a really good deal

is like chicken feed to him.

So now you get Miles Garrett.

You got his teammate

making $41 million.

Miles Garrett making $40.

You got

Nick Bosa.

You got Max Crosby.

You got Danelle Hunter.

You got Michael Parsons.

You got all these guys.

And he's like, hold on.

He can't compare.

He can't compare himself to the line.

He has to compare himself to the D-tackles that play the five technique or other D-tackles in the NFL.

He looking at D, but even the D-tackles, Christian Wilkins was making $25, $24 million.

Look at Dexter Lawrence.

Give me the top five highest pay tackles.

I'm curious.

I'm curious because I'm not.

Jeffrey Simmons got to be up there too.

Yep.

Over there in Tennessee.

Aaron Jeff Simmons, Lawrence, uh, Christian Wilkins was making 24 and a half million.

Did he get picked up yet?

No.

Okay.

I'm trying to think.

Who else?

D tackles, D tackles.

Oh, Vita Vea.

Viva

got to be top five paid as well.

But him being at 22,

that's tough.

Ash is sending it to me.

Yeah, I agree with you, Ocho, is that you know

you looking at guys, I mean,

at defensive players, you got to like, okay, D tackles.

Okay, where's the D tackles market?

The D tackles market is in the mid-20s.

He's like, bro, I'm at 14 and a half, 15.

So, what would make it happen?

What would make him happy, you think?

Maybe 18?

Because being

ranked.

Chris Jones is the highest paid at 31,750.

How did I forget Chris Jones?

Mattabique from

the Ravens.

The Ravens is at 24.5.

Alum McNeil from Detroit, 24,250.

Derek Brown, Carolina, 24.

Quinny Williams, 24.

Simmons,

Jeffrey Simmons.

I don't know why I call him Keith Hummers.

Simmons.

Simmons is 23,5.

DeFars Buckner, Colts, 23.

LeBron Payne, Washington, 22.5.

Dexter Lawrence, 21, 875.

Kenny Clark, 21.

I got something for you right here.

Yeah, I'm going to tell you how the Rooney's thinking.

I'm going to tell you what Tomlin is thinking.

How old is Cam Hayward?

Cam came in

in 2011, so he at least 36 at the bare minimum.

They're not doing it.

They're not doing it.

They're not doing it.

Everybody you just named, are they even 30 yet?

Jones is

Jones is the best.

Jones is the Chris Jones is the best, best D-tackle in the NFL.

Right.

You know, I mean, he only came.

Chris Jones just turned 31.

But I don't think Mattel Beaquay.

I don't think McNeil,

Quinny.

I don't think Quinny is

Quinny 30.

He might be.

36.

Come on now.

Quinny Williams, 27?

Damn.

Listen, Quinn.

You don't remember Quentin Williams when he

on draft night when he sneezed and he said,

he blessed himself?

Yeah.

Hey, but 36, I mean, listen, nigga, they can.

It's going to be hard.

And I see Ocho.

It's going to be hard for them to

put him in that situation.

And because he's like, okay, 15, can you give me the 20?

Okay, but

20.

Oh, that.

Oh,

maybe, you know what we can do?

We can give you something to sign a bonus.

We'll take some of the money on the back end and bring it on the front end and put it into a signing bonus so it doesn't affect the cap.

Boom.

But guess what that does?

Probably talk.

That takes money off next year's cap.

That takes money off next year's base salary.

And now that 15 is 10.

Hey, I'm just trying to find a way.

I know it's going to be very difficult, but knowing him and him saying he's going to stand his ground and not play, that's going to be tough.

Because now you're going into a season where you're trying to compete in the division.

You have Aaron Rodgers and the defense is stacked with all the people that you just added.

Your identity now, I'm not calling you the goddamn steel curtain, but with the team, with the players you have on paper, you should be very good and be able to compete week in and week out, especially in AFC North and against other teams that you do play.

I agree.

And you are an intricate part of that defense where it matters most.

You're a captain.

you're one of the captains of the defense.

Damn, man, that's tough.

That's tough for the Steelers.

That's tough.

Ocho, remember the other night we talked about Dalvin Cook, and I say his value is somewhere between 11 and 13.

Hey, I say, I say, I said 13.5.

So where'd he fall at?

12.

James Cook, James Cook.

12 Cook.

Yeah, 12.

Okay.

Four years, 48.

I say the max, they'd probably be is four years 52, but I can see, you know, 11 to 13.

He's going to fall to somewhere 11, 13.

He not that 15.

Right.

He ain't breaking up right here.

Listen, he got 30 million guarantees.

He's going to be all right.

Yeah.

He'll see that 30.

Yeah.

Every dollar.

So he's going to be all right.

But hey, he's like, nah, y'all not finna get me.

Y'all finna give me some.

I ain't finna play on this contract.

Cam Ward believes he has a top five receiver core in the NFL right now.

Ocho, do you believe that the Titans have a top five receiving core?

Top five?

Wait a minute.

Let's go.

Eagles.

Eagles.

Yeah.

Bulls.

Bucks.

Bucks.

I'm throwing the Packers.

Lions.

Lions.

Packers.

Vikes.

I said Vikings already, I think, didn't I?

Okay, you said Vikings already.

Now, when Terry McLaurin comes back, him and Debo, even though they haven't played together, we know what they can do.

They've shown enough over the years.

I mean, what about the Rams?

Oh,

the Rams, Puka Nakua, and Devontae Adams.

Obviously, we know what Devontae Adams could do.

What about Dolphins?

Ooh, Tyreek and Waddle.

What about the Bears?

Adunze, DJ Moore.

Yep, and Burton.

Burton.

You know,

he, ooh, um,

hold on.

We know what Tyler Lockett could do.

Yeah.

We know what Calvin Ridley is, that boy.

Do they have a top five receiving core?

I wouldn't say top five.

Okay.

Yeah.

Hey,

they have a very, very good receiving Calvin Ridley, though.

PFF has them as the third worst receiving core.

For real?

Well, listen, look, based on

all the teams that we got.

browns are the worst, then the Patriots, and then they got the Titans.

I see.

Oh, that's tough, boy.

That's tough.

I didn't know they weren't top five.

Yeah, you got to believe.

They're not top five, but you have to say that.

You're the quarterback.

You have to feel.

Oh, yeah, for sure.

You have to feel that way about your squad.

Sometimes you got to lie to them, Mocho.

Whoa, how did we even mention CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens?

Okay.

Man.

We didn't.

But you did.

So there you go.

You got to feel that way, though.

Yeah, for sure.

If you don't believe that about your team, who will?

Right.

And who's the number three over there in Tennessee?

Now you got me thinking.

Tyler Lockett, Calvin Ridley.

Who's the number three?

Chad, who's the number three?

Somebody tell me.

Who's the number three?

Number three, the number third wide receiver.

Van Jefferson.

Okay, okay.

Van Sala.

Van was with the Rams.

Yes.

Yeah.

With Pittsburgh.

Wasn't he with Pittsburgh?

Where was he last year?

Yeah, I said since he first.

I said since he first.

Yeah, I thought so.

He was with Pittsburgh last year, Ocho.

Yeah, Cam, you look.

I appreciate you pumping up your squad.

Yeah.

But y'all not top five i'm not even sure y'all top 10.

when we when we really get down to and we start naming naming receiving cards ojo

i'm not sure they top team hey

i know one thing

calvin really is that boy oh yeah but it's more it's more to to make a to make a a a receiving core is more than right right right right right right right well Carlin Humphrey posted a video on social media a while ago asking Michael Phelps for his help because one of the three Ravens players can't swim.

So Phelps attended Ravens training camp with Ray Lewis and taught the team how to swim.

We often overlook that many of these athletes grew up in inner city communities with little to no access to pool or swimming lessons.

Ocho, can you swim and do we or do we need to call Michael Phelps for you?

Uh-uh, boy, they used to call me Flipper back in the day.

You heard me?

They used to call me Flipper.

Charles Hadley Park is where I used to swim.

Sometimes they were close when Charles Hadley Park would close.

Man, we jumped the gate and we go swim.

I taught myself to swim.

Me and my homeboy Jamie, I don't know where Jamie at.

Jamie, if you see this from back in the day, I think Jamie stayed right off 45th, not too far from me.

Boy, they had the diving board, everything, huh?

Right next to Alapato Elementary.

Well, I could swim, huh?

Yeah, they had a pool at Reidsville State Park,

and it was 50 cents to get in.

Did y'all have to pay to get into the pool?

50 Cent.

It was a quarter for us.

Yeah.

God, y'all expensive.

Yeah, I think it was 50 cent.

Hey, hey, let me tell you something really, too.

It might have been a quarter, oh, Joe, and then the paddle boat might have been 50 cents because you can take the paddle boat out

on the lake.

I've been so long to old your dose.

Hey, hey,

let me tell you what was so fun about being on Hadley Park, right?

You play basketball, you can play basketball.

They had karate class

in the back.

They had the tennis course.

They had the handball course, right?

And then the pool sit on the front street, right off

that 12th Avenue?

avenue 12th or 10th avenue i'm i'm so confused but going swimming right and you hear the ice cream truck coming and the ice cream truck comes to the boy that's one of the best feelings in the world when you hear the ice cream truck coming you get a little break get you some ice cream get you some donuts i used to get jungle juice jungle juice two pickle eggs and a fruit punch

And then they told us to apply all the year.

Don't, hey, after you eat, you got to stay at the pool.

That's why I wouldn't eat though.

Oh, you know, you'll make your cramp.

You'll get a cramp.

That's a lot.

We ain't getting no cramp that young, huh?

We little kids.

Oh,

you, if you ate something, they wouldn't, you couldn't get back in the pool

for like 30 minutes.

Oh, nah, I ain't, man.

Hey, it is a myth.

Hey, when you grew up, y'all ain't had a candy lady house?

But anyway, Ojo, so it was $35.

And

you put down the activities that you wanted to do.

Like if you could swim, like you could do canoeing and you could do all this other stuff.

you could do archery, you know.

But the first year we I went, um,

my sister, I couldn't swim, so my sister, like, I think I was like the fourth grade.

My sister signed me up for something, and I'm seeing, man, all my friend because it came pool time, and then all my friends, I see Grady Kick Lotter, Ricky Bland, Simmy, uh, uh, Simmy Driggers, Walter, everybody in the pool, man.

I'm like, oh, Joe,

I got my fake, I got my face in the wire field like this, and I'm looking.

I just looking.

I'm just looking.

It's like, Shannon, come on in i'm like

i don't know how to swim oh they're like just jump in i'm like are y'all crazy what the hell is that

i'm like did y'all not hear what i said i said i can't swim yeah they're talking about we'll teach you so you know oh you're i come on in there right i said well okay so i'm oh i'm thinking i'm like uh they're gonna give me some lessons say okay you do this and you do that right they say well jump in I say, well, how you teaching me?

They say, look, jump it, go on the diving board.

They didn't put me in the little kid area.

They said,

you went to the deep end?

Oh, Joe, I get jumped.

They said, jump off the diving board.

They say, if you drown, and we'll save you.

Ocho,

my dumbass,

hey, I know I know they're not watching this, but Rock Eagle, that's where I learned how to swim.

That's all.

I jumped in off the uh, it was 13 feet.

I jumped in.

Yeah, they say, see, you can swim.

I like, uh, I don't really think that's swimming what I did, but okay.

Boy, listen, black folk play too many games.

Jump out there and save you.

There is, it'd be just somebody look, you jump in there and they sitting there laughing and kikiing and ha ha

yeah and you mess around and drown boy don't play

but i hey we had i mean

i mean for the most part it's a small glenville ain't that big right most of the guys we're in the same we're in the same homeroom so we're in the same class we know we i i've been knowing them right since uh

since i went to kindergarten

you say kindergarten kindergarten right we say kindergarten

but i've been knowing about the ultra i went up there jumped off, and

been swimming,

learned, basically taught myself.

I can't swim like Michael Phelps, but I can save myself.

Yeah.

But man, those were the days, Ocho, man.

The thing that, you know, like,

I'd be thinking about it, man.

I'll be talking to my brothers.

I said, man, you remember that?

You remember we did?

Hey,

don't y'all go down there and go swimming in the clay hole.

What we do go right down there and go swimming in the clay hole.

I say, boy, just that look.

If something would have happened to us,

Papa would have killed all the rest of us.

Yeah.

Because I would have had to been the one, because I was the youngest, Ocho.

So

I would have been the one that they pushed up to tell Papa what happened.

Because obviously, you know, I'm the youngest by two years.

So it's me, then it's Lanny, then it's my brother, then it was Eugene, rest his soul, and then it was Arnall.

Arnael's my sister's the oldest on my on my on my on my mom's side of the grandkids.

My sister's the oldest, she's eight years older than me.

Arnel was seven years older than me, Eugene was six years older than me, Spanky is three years older than me, Lanny's two years older than me.

Right, those are the boys.

That's and then we had Robbie and Bernard, who was

our second cousin, that's Granny, my grandma.

That's her sister's son, uh, uh, kids, uh, anime, rest her soul.

So, Robbie is six years younger than me, over older than me, and

Bernard is four years older than me.

So I'm the youngest, way, way young.

And my dad, my grandfather died, I was eight.

So, you know what I'm saying?

So obviously, they teenagers.

So anytime they wanted something, hey, go ask Papa or go ask, they would say, go ask Uncle Barney.

Well, you know, Ocho, I go ask, but it gonna cost you something.

I just can't go ask you.

a free.

What y'all got?

Man, my brother told a story.

Ocho, you hear him tell the story?

Man, he cut me.

He cut me on my leg.

It's a little ashy.

I don't want y'all to see this.

But

he cut me on my leg, Ocho.

But what he didn't tell, what I didn't tell y'all, I didn't tell y'all the full story.

And I apologize.

He cut me on the leg.

I put on two pairs of jeans and a pair of shorts.

He was

sharpening his knife, a wet rock.

I know you don't know what that is, but that's how you sharpen things.

In the country, we call it a wet rock.

And we put three and one oil on it, or we put something to get it and we sharpen the knife.

And he's like, Man,

he runs his hand finger across.

He said, I think it's sharp.

I said, I don't know, Spank.

I don't think it's that sharp.

He said, Yes, yes, Shannon.

It's really sharp.

So,

man,

that joke would hit me with that blade, Ocho.

Yeah.

Ooh.

But you know, it started burning.

It started tingling.

I said, ooh.

Ooh.

Ocho, he got me.

So I look back there.

I said, it's bleeding.

I said, uh-oh.

Ocho, I said, uh-oh.

I'm going to tell Papa.

Ojo.

So I tell him, he's like,

I said, man, look here, man.

How much money you got?

So he had like,

hold on, Ocho, hold on, Ocho.

I got to tell you.

I got to tell you, got to tell the whole story.

I said, how much money you got?

Ocho, he had like,

he had like three silver dollars.

He had like a two-dollar bill.

Yeah.

So he ended up giving me like five dollars.

So I got the five dollars and I was thinking,

I got to cut your back.

So I cut him.

He let me cut it.

He let me cut it.

Well, he let me.

Or I would go get the file.

I get the money and tell Papa anyway.

Yeah,

I cut him across his wrist

right here.

He still got the scar.

But that's that's funny.

But he cut me first.

And then, Ocho, well, look here.

We, we were, we were, ooh.

I don't know how we became so close.

Because boy, we tried to kill each other, Ocho.

Yeah, Ocho.

Hey, that's joker made me mad one day, ocho.

No, you don't know about the country, but if you're from the country, and you're from the south, or you're from Texas or somewhere, you know what a pickfork is, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I know, I know about the pick fork, yeah, for the hate, yeah, oh cho.

That joker made me mad.

Yeah, I stuck the pick fork in his leg,

right?

Ocho,

I stuck it in his leg, yeah,

and I froze.

You know what that joker did?

What?

Pull it out and stuck it in my leg.

I don't know why I froze on Joe.

If I could have just took off running, he couldn't have got me.

But I froze.

Because

I think my life, I was like, damn,

I did that.

You ain't sticking hard, though, huh?

Oh, it went in.

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, it went in.

I don't know why I froze, Ocho.

I could have, I could have, I could have ran.

I could have ran and got away.

It better not to run.

Go ahead and take your punishment right there.

He won't get you one way or another.

Yeah, man.

But that's funny, that boy.

Ocho, you ever played, man?

We used to play like

who could hit the softest?

I fall for that.

I mean, I fell for this thing like four times times before I caught on.

So, you know, Ocho, like, okay, we're going to punch in the arm and see who can hit the softest.

Right.

So, you know, he's like, you go first.

So I was like,

Ocho, then he was like,

I was like,

Ocho, by the third time, that joke, wow, I lost.

I said,

what the

hell told me like three or four times before I was like, hold on.

Bro,

you ain't trying to win.

Right.

Oh, we do.

Hey, man, look here.

That yo used to beat me down, Ocho.

He didn't let nobody else pick on me.

Right.

Man.

I'm going to get it.

John Randall says he used to not shower before games.

During an interview with Marshawn Lynch, Beastmo went on to talk about how Old Lyme on his team peed on himself before the first snap of every game.

What's the wildest opponent story

like this, Ocho, you have?

Oh, that's a good one.

Damn, I ain't got nothing that crazy, huh?

Oh, all the linemen.

I mean, everybody knows stink with Terry.

Stink would pee on himself.

You know what I hate, Ocho?

Them linemen, they make themselves throw up.

And you know, it's a gag reflex.

You hear that in the bathroom.

You hear.

Right, right, right, right, right, right.

I'm like, come on, man.

Damn.

Yeah,

I'm trying to think because.

I mean, I'm sure.

I'm sure, obviously, the linemen did some crazy stuff back then.

We had a guy on our team, Ocho, named Darren Drozdoff.

Rest his soul.

He ended up getting, he was, he came, he returned, became a professional wrestler.

He ended up breaking his neck, paralyzed, breaking his neck, paralyzing himself, and he ended up passing away.

Ocho, he could throw up on command.

You could be, hey, you could be standing there talking to him, talking to him, just like you and I having a conversation.

Right, right.

Like, Drozdoff, throw up.

Yeah, I mean, he got control.

He got control of his

mouth.

Oh, he threw up on the center.

He threw up on the

nose guard.

He threw up on the ball?

Yep.

White center had a no John but Hart, why?

No, he was on the opposing team.

Oh.

Oh, but he was, hey, the lineman, the offensive lineman,

them jokers there.

They crazy.

They got some weird.

They got to be like that just in the locker room or around the guys.

Ain't no way.

Because you know, most of the offensive linemen they got like three four five kids i said ain't no way y'all like this at home right right right

y'all nasty

a locker junkie wow y'all funky

i said oh no drunk coming in drunk you can smell it in the hood

but uh yeah

uh yeah

But the offensive lineman, yeah, but Stink was notorious for peeing on himself.

I mean, we used to pee on the the sidelines you know i'm saying because we couldn't you know get a little towels training you got a little towel you meal down you got the uh the training trunks you just just lean the a just just go in the bag

little y'all know y'all didn't your fans right there y'all didn't know what we were doing

but uh good days but i but i had to take i mean

i took a shower before i you know

because i did contrast I did hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold.

I did it.

You know, yeah.

I did it before the game as well.

Okay, so we mentioned it earlier.

Bills running back James Cook have agreed to a four-year, $48 million extension that slots him

right there with Josh Jacobs.

And basically, you know,

oh, it's 11.5?

Actually, it's 11.5.

So

Saquon is still the highest highest paid at almost 21.

And then you got C-Mac, D.

Henry, Jonathan Taylor, Alma Kamara at $1,250, Josh Jacobs at $12 million.

And then you got James Cook at $11.5 million.

That I felt that that slot, Ocho, between 11 and 13, was where he would land.

Right.

So

it's more than what he was going to make, which was probably a million, $2 million.

So he can't be, it can't be mad.

He got money

that'll set him up

for his career, for his future.

30 million, guaranteed, you straight.

Not to say that's all he's going to make.

Right.

Because he's young.

He can't be what?

He's 23, 24.

So

go ahead and try to get you a good little 10-year bid.

You straight.

Good.

But congratulations, James.

He was on earlier this year, Ocho Raptor Season.

We talked to him about it.

Like, hey,

I need to get broken off with my bread.

Hey, so forth and so on, yada, yada, yada.

And they took care of him.

You got it, and he got it now.

Yeah.

Oh, man.

Robbers broke into the home of Texas Hall of Famer.

He's the first Texan in the pro football Hall of Fame, Andre Johnson, ransacked his house, stealing multiple valuable items, including his Hall of Fame ring.

It happened in late July, and an active police investigation is currently ongoing.

In Houston?

Yeah.

What y'all, let me ask you a question.

I mean, y'all gonna fence this?

I mean, who, what, what pawn shop?

You ain't tried to put your thumb down on no pawn shop.

Listen.

You got to give up that thumb at the pawn shop.

There are people.

There are people.

Oh, they'll fence it.

Listen, no, I'm talking about buying.

I'm talking about buying.

Man,

Yeah.

He's going to get his stuff back.

Joe Burrow got his back.

Keanu reeves got his back i ain't got mine back yeah listen dre know the right people

man oh you i was reading the story about j paul geddy

the all the oil tycoon right

like like getty museum in la yeah yeah that's him j paul okay ocho

his grandson got kidnapped i think it was in italy yeah if i was reading the story i i ended up seeing them i saw the movie

and end up they ended up kidnapping his son and holding his son for ransom his grandson for ransom

and

he didn't want to deal with him

because

so he ended up

two I think it was I think it was like two million dollars because that was the max deductible at the time.

And then he loaned his son $800,000 at 4%.

He said, if I paid the full ransom, I would have 14 kidnapped grandkids.

Wait, huh?

Bring that to me again.

They kidnapped his grandson.

He said, if he paid every ransom, guess what's going to happen?

When he starts kidnapping all of his grandkids.

Oh, that's tough.

That's tough.

Man, I hate that because I talked to, I was just, you know, I was just at the hall and I saw Dre talk to him.

Man, I like Dre.

I didn't really get an opportunity to Ocho, because I was leaving as he was coming in.

Right.

And so I didn't really get an opportunity to spend time with him.

But, you know, being,

we did the Road Show

in Houston and being at the hall.

I like him a lot, man.

He's a real down to earth.

He'll chill brother.

I like him.

As a matter of fact, he was at the table he was at our table he was at the table with me and my brother uh at the hall but the thing is is that like when you are you uh an inductee new right you don't get to talk in the nitchi luncheon

so you just got to sit there and watch us talk right

and then you know sap is at the table because you know sap talking the whole while yeah but uh

it was good man i'm sorry to hear that dream hopefully hopefully hopefully you get everything back

trust me.

Lamar Jackson has officially dropped his trademark case against Troy Aikman over the number eight per the Baltimore Sun.

Lamar filed a lawsuit against Aikman last year, said it caused confusion to customers who were looking to buy his apparel.

It's just hard because so many people have eight.

Yeah.

Isn't Alexander no vetch in eight?

Yeah,

Obi.

Obi is eight.

Obi we're eight.

I got in jail.

You got you got this.

Steve Young.

Eight.

Kobe was eight.

Number numbers are hard

now.

If you talk about Gretzky or something like that, maybe something like Gretzky.

Right.

But uh, I think Daryl Earnhardt Jr.

was eight.

Wasn't Daryl Earnhart Jr.

eight?

Yep, eight.

The number eight car, yep.

Yeah, it's number numbers are hard.

Now, if you want to say a phrase, you know, uh, three peat, Pat Riley has that.

Three pet, you know what I'm saying.

Um,

there's certain things, but a number is hard.

Yeah,

but he's

dropped the suit, just missed with prejudice.

Officials will be cracking down on faking injuries during the college football season.

Ocho, the National Football Foundation announced today that to combat the act of players' faking injuries to stop the game clock beginning this season, if a player on the field presents as injured after the ball is spotted for next play, the player's team will be charged a timeout.

If the team does not have any timeouts remaining, a five-yard delay of game penalty will be assessed.

Yeah, well, that tactic is out the window for coaches that like to use that tactic to their advantage.

Now you can no longer do it.

Yep.

The player also must remain out of the game for at least one down,

even if that team is granted a timeout and may not return until receiving approval of a medical professional.

Ocho,

do you like this new rule?

Yeah, listen.

Yeah, I like it.

I like it.

It gets rid of the rhetoric that goes on in college games.

The gameship.

Yeah, to buy yourself more time to do whatever it is you may need to do.

So, I mean, I like it.

Whatever they need.

Because, Ocho, we see,

go down, go down, go down.

And so now, look, and I get it, you know, sometimes guys, you know, might be hurt.

Well, if you're seriously hurt, if you seriously hurt, they don't need to tell you to go down.

When the last time you see somebody really hurt themselves, and it's like, go down.

No, they're going to go down if they, if you really hurt.

Exactly.

So I'm so, I like this rule.

I like it because, look.

Just like anything, it's a copycat league.

And so once somebody did, saw that, what happened, you could stop it.

Everybody else do it.

it's the same thing ocho with um

when the uh defense used to say back set

sound like set hut yeah now that costs you a penalty yep

right away no more cheating

cristiano ronaldo got engaged recently ocho yeah you see did you see what he put on her finger yeah i saw it i saw it I saw it.

Lord of mercy.

Yeah, that's the thing.

I mean, estimates of 5 million.

Yeah.

Listen,

that's a nice ring.

I I think that's one that you're not going to wear everywhere.

But to make it as a statement.

Why not?

He got security everywhere.

Yeah, but I just,

I don't know.

She ain't taking that off, Ocho.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's a little gaudy.

I think she'll probably have something smaller.

Yeah, a little ostentatious.

Yeah, yeah.

A little, little, little, very gaudy.

A very, very Elizabeth Taylor-ish.

She say, look.

I don't been by this man for this many years.

What?

They got three boys, right?

Don't they got three boys, Ocho?

I thought it was, I think it's three boys and a girl?

They got four?

I think if I'm not mistaken, it's four.

Yeah.

That's good God.

I'm about it.

Yeah, ma'am.

Now, hey, don't y'all run telling y'all boy, don't y'all go showing this to y'all husbands and boy, y'all's husband and boyfriend.

They ain't got bread like that.

Ain't no, ain't no.

That man make two of that man make a quarter bill a year.

It's different.

Hey, hey, Ocho, what did they say he made?

3.4 million a week?

Yeah.

A week.

$3.4 million a week.

That's huge.

Congratulations, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, hey.

Hey, you know,

I'm going to Dallas Sunday, right?

What's it Dallas?

Playing a big

three, big, big three Celeb game.

Tell us about it.

So, Ice Cube, obviously, I think Michael Beasley's team is playing.

I'm not sure who they're playing.

I think they're playing somebody, but I'm focused on the Celeb game.

You know, it's me on my team.

It's me.

Hold on.

I just had it too.

Ooh, my team.

Me, Hezzy God.

You know, Hezzy God, right?

You don't watch basketball like that, huh?

All right, me, Hezy God,

uh, Waka Flocka,

uh, Cam Patterson, Mo Motivator, and our coach is Clyde Drexler.

Okay.

And Ice Cube team is Gilly, Wallow, Dez Bryant.

Oh, y'all about to get cooked.

Tussie and Simba.

So listen, I'm like, I'll be doing all this talking.

You know, I'm an exquisite basketball player.

So I done started training down in Miami, you know, just to get my muscle remedy back.

And so, I think it might have been D-Wage trainer.

So, I've been, if on Instagrams, and people in the chat, you go look at Remy Workouts on Instagrams.

And Remy and Julian, they've been helping me out get myself better prepared for Sunday.

So, when I go out there and when we talk about the show and what I do in this game, and I drop 22, 10, and nine, I don't hear no excuses.

There's going to be, there's going to be footage.

It's on CBS, so you can watch me play, huh?

So, you know, I do all that talking.

And I'm going to see Michael Beasley in person.

But y'all will get cooked.

Nah, man, man, listen.

Not with me.

This is me.

You ain't never seen me hoop.

Okay.

Now, I might not be as good as you when it comes to talking it and understanding the game, but when it comes to playing,

I could, listen.

I could probably, honestly, I'm not even playing, huh?

I could probably come off the bench right now for the heat.

Right now.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't need to.

I don't set me no screens.

I'm calling for ISO every time.

I'm a three-level score.

I'm a three-level scorer.

You do realize those guys that's on the bench are really, really good.

Oh, yeah, they good.

They good.

I was with him.

Listen, let me tell you who was there today,

Jay Rich was in there getting shot ups.

Faron, Farron,

damn, it was one player from the Knicks.

Ferron Butler.

No, no, no.

Ferron.

Was it Hunt?

I think Ferron Hunt.

Then the player that played with the Knicks.

God damn, I forget these dudes' names.

Jeff Green.

Jeff Green was in there.

Jeff

working out.

And so once they Jeff was with the Rockets last year.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Jeff.

Hey, hey, man, man, them boys, tall as hell, man.

Jesus Christ.

So, you know,

I was in there.

I was in there there getting my work in.

I'm in there every day.

I leave here Sunday morning.

I'm going to go out there and drop by 20.

Good luck.

I don't need no luck, man.

I don't need no look.

Listen, when you prepare, it's like Shadur.

He got his opportunity.

You saw what he did, right?

So what you think I'm going to do?

Ocho,

sometimes the happiest couples post the least.

Couples who post each other excessively

on social media are three three times more likely to break up within two years.

Research from personality and social psychology bulletin shows that over-sharing your relationship online can be linked to insecurity, not intimacy.

Psychologists call it relationship broadcasting, using public attention to mask private uncertainty.

Psychologically, it raises the question of Ocho, are you sharing joy or performing for it?

If love is real,

it doesn't need a constant audience.

Shit, says who?

Says you're three times more likely to break up in two years.

Shit, me.

You break up regardless whether you post or not.

Yeah, I know.

See, I love, see, I love the way you frame it because you post constantly.

So I love how you'll break up cost.

You break up.

I mean, that's just, that's that.

That's life in general, whether you post or not.

I mean, statistically, when you're together with someone, most of the time.

I'm going to ask your question.

Let me finish.

Let me finish.

So, the longer you're together, most of the time, if you and that individual are evolving,

nine times out of ten, when you grow, they grow the opposite way.

Most of the time, it's just how long, though.

They say within you're going to three times, three times more likely.

So, if you're going to break up, you're three times more likely to break up.

Right.

Within two years.

Oh, well, you know, all my relationships are six years or longer.

So

that's wrong.

And I post every motherfucking thing.

Oh, my bad.

My bad.

But at the end of the question, again,

public attention, private uncertainty.

I don't know about that.

I'm just the people that study it.

But Harry,

you're going to break up anyway.

Let me ask you a question, Ocho.

You're going to die eventually.

We're all going to do it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Would you get in the would you get in the car and drive 200 miles an hour?

Me?

Yeah.

No.

Why not?

You're going to die eventually anyway.

So.

Oh, no, no.

I'm speaking statistically.

I'm not talking about me.

No, I'm saying statistically.

You're going to die statistically.

Yeah.

It's just that history thing.

Oh,

long time ago, the Pau Pop.

Huh?

I was.

Oh, Joe, look at these photos.

This is a statement.

This isn't snow.

It's spider season in Australia.

Referring to the phenomenon as mass ballooning, where numerous spiders release silk threads to float through the air, often creating a blanket-like appearance resembling snow.

This event, typically seen in late summer and early autumn, is a natural way for spiders to disperse and migrate.

While it might seem like snow, the snow is actually silk threads spun by spiders, a harmless, natural occurrence.

That is so beautiful.

Unk, that remind that's beautiful.

And you know what's funny?

I don't know, Chad.

I don't know your age.

Look at that.

Look at that.

They remind me of arachnophobia.

Remember the movie Arachnophobia?

You didn't see that?

Yes, I remember.

That's it.

I mean, just when you think you've seen it all or you're in awe of animals and insects or whatever the case may be, they surprise you.

Well, not.

Because you know it ain't nothing worse than walking into a spider web.

God.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because you don't expect it.

Yeah, but that's, hey, I think that's what we need to do in the the offseason.

When football season,

we need to go to, we need to go to Australia and the insects that we don't have here at our disposal.

I think we need to go out there and Australia got at least five or six of the most dangerous snakes in the world.

That's what we need to hunt.

The Taipan, the inland Taipan, the Tom Brown.

I want no part of that.

They got all these spiders.

Nah.

Hey,

Jay is Cal.

Unc, you said the quarterback is the most important player on the field since he touches the ball on every single play.

Does that mean the center is also the most important player on the field?

How many paths have you ever seen the center complete?

How many times have you ever seen the center hand the ball off?

Come on, Jay.

Dr.

Frankie L.

Bellamy said, fam, I've been rocking with y'all so long, I'm running out of questions to ask.

But don't worry, I'm still here every night showing love and supporting.

Doc, we appreciate that.

We know we can count on you, Doc.

Even when you don't get a question in, we know you're watching.

Aaron Johns said, Hey, Uncan Ocho, as an Eagle fan, Shadora's best comparison to me is Jalen Hurts.

He's got the proper passing

training, and now look at him.

I don't think he's as athletic as Hurts.

Not as fast.

We'll see.

Jalen has improved so much throwing the football.

You look at him from where he got to Alabama, and you look at him where he ended Oklahoma, and you look at where he started in the league, and you look at him now.

So, you know what?

If Shador can improve like Jalen Hurst has, I don't think he'd be disappointed.

My question is: who do you have winning Defensive Player of the Year?

Early pick you as well, Locho.

Who's winning Defensive Player of the Year?

This year?

Yep.

I know who's running rookie defensive play of the year.

You go over Trav?

Nah, Abdul Carr.

Abdul Carr.

You go to Abdul Carr.

Absolutely.

Now, defensive player of the year, that's a good one.

It's probably going to be a defensive end.

Yep.

You go Miles Garrett.

You want Micah.

I was just going to say it.

TJ.

I say maybe TJ Water, Miles Garrett.

Yeah.

Maybe Miles.

This might be Miles Garrett's year, though.

Again, he won it two years ago.

Or TJ, one or the other.

Unless somebody comes out the blue and I want Micah to win it.

I would like to see Micah get paid.

But if he doesn't get paid, I want him to win Defensive Player of the Year.

Right.

And get 50 million.

Oh.

I like it.

Free game Xavier.

ARK.

When you going to acknowledge the tribal chief and get him on Club Kate, Club Shea Shea?

That's

Roman Reigns, right?

I think that's the tribal chief.

Man, he
