Manning was inconsistent. He completed 17 to 30 passes, 170 yards, one touchdown, and an interception.

A very underwhelming day for a player some has pegged as the number one pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Johnny,

is this a sign of things to come or are we just saying it's just one star? Hey, let's not make too much of it.

I mean, listen, I think as an overall, as a player, like they will, this is one of the things you start early in the season.

I was talking to Jake Spavital, who is my offensive coordinator my second year. He plays at Baylor.

I'm talking to him about the game the night before, and he's just like, fuck, man, we can't run the ball.

And there's certain things early on in the season where you need more reps and more game reps and more live speed reps.

And this is something that's always been a question with Arch, which is, has he played enough?

Has he got enough reps enough to be able to come into a game like this this and be prepared and ready to go? And today, it didn't look that way.

I think as you saw their nice drive they had in the fourth quarter where they went down and scored, he has that capability, right?

But like to do it from the first snap all the way throughout the game and be consistent with it, this isn't Louisiana Monroe. This isn't the teams he's popped in last year and played against.

Like this is the defending.

reigning, really good Ohio State football team. Like you're not

that red dot that he said that they were swinging at everybody else.

That motherfucker must be broken or something because that did not look like the number one team in the country today at all. And it was an all-time quote.
I'm cool for it.

But if you're going to walk out like that with the gap, you better back it up. Yeah.

Yeah. And the thing is, what

look, everybody keeps saying that he's a generation. Bro, we've got to start with this generational stuff.

Everybody is not generational. Just because they have one or two good games.
That does, do you understand what a generation is? Do you understand what transcendent means?

Do you know what transformative mean?

We just be using stuff because it sounds good.

Stop saying that. He's not, he might be that.
But if you look at an Arch Manning and you say he's transcendent, he's a transformative, he's generational, you're lying. He's not.

Because guess what? They shut down the run, run.

And then it's like, okay, go win the game.

And like you said, Johnny, the thing what happened is that when

Ewers were hurt last year and he's playing substandard teams and he looked really good. Well, they should go to Arch.
They should go to Arch. They should go to Arch, bro.

But when you go step up at Ohio State and you face the Texas and you face the Alabamas, no, bro, that's not good enough. That's not good enough.
And he's going to have to be much better.

Because if you looked at him in his start and when he's played, had to step up in competition, if you could look at him and say, well, he's generational, I just, well, I've got a, we've got different definitions of what generational is.

Go ahead, Ocho. Listen, I mean, listen,

this is part the media's fault, honestly. This is part of the media's fault in crowning him a generational talent.
crowning him the next big thing.

Obviously, because some of the games he played in last year, he looked decent when he came in, when Iris went down and was hurt.

But again, you come in week one you playing against them boys what did johnny say a dog is going to be a dog regardless of circumstance regardless whether it's week one week two or week three

so now sometimes things look funny in the light

sometimes things look funny in the light where the media has propelled and part and been propped up an individual that they're this generational talent supposed to be the number one pick in the draft.

And so we're expecting to see just that. It was, it was, it was a, it was a bad day.
It was a bad day for Arch. It was a bad day.
I think he's going to be all right.

I think it's going to be all right. But based on what we saw today, nah, that ain't it.
That ain't it.

They couldn't score. They couldn't even score.
They couldn't score. They couldn't run the ball.

So if they, if you can't run the ball and you can't score, and our offensive coordinator wants to be able to say, you know what, Arch, I need you to win it with your arm.

I need you to win it with your arm. And they couldn't do that.
Yeah.

Go ahead, Johnny.

what did you want to say i think if like for football guys especially you guys playing you know tight end receiver position one of the first things you ever do is just mesh right texas runs a lot of mesh throughout this game and they're just those little for a quarterback just easy little throws completions to get the offense rolling just pitch and catch type of stuff there's just so many times throughout the game where he's just a little off balance like these are the ones where you step you cut them off you lead them on right in front easy pitch and catch confidence boosters that Texas didn't really have throughout the day.

When you get stagnant and you're sitting there late in the third quarter, fourth quarter, you have no points on the board, you keep coming back to the sideline, taking your helmet off, and you're like, damn, we can't get anything going.

For Arch in those situations, those are the ones you just have to go back to the very basics of what you do.

Day one, install, whatever it is, take a little three-step drop and just throw the shallow real quick.

Whether it's bang, bang, get tackled or whatever, you got to build on some momentum and be able to get yourself in a spot. Because look, the talent is there.

I think he will get to a point where he's good enough. And this is the thing that we've said all season.
The media puts a lot of hype on him. It's his turn.

You have the chance and every opportunity you want. Everybody watching, all eyes are on you.
Go do it. So one game is not make or break.

Nope.

It's a true test to where Texas is, and they are not the number one team in the country. That's for sure.

go ahead, Ocho. I'm going to say one more thing.
It's really small. It's really small.

Just watching the game where Archman today, obviously, the receivers, the receivers over there in Texas, it's supposed to be some boys over there. It's supposed to be some dogs over there.

It's supposed to be one of the plays early in the game where Ars threw interception and I'm looking,

they got the bunch split, right? They got the bunch split in the DB, I mean the DB, the receiver, he got the seven route.

He got the seven route, but the goddamn corner staying way upfield, he's staying high on his inside shoulder so the first thing you the first thing you do i'm like well what is the receiver doing man just break it off and run it

off you run it like a square out yeah like a big ass deep ass out

man the db the deep i mean i don't i don't know what i don't know what the receiver is doing it was an interception but i'm like no arch threw the ball in the right place the receiver got to know well hell if the db want to keep running to the goddamn pylon i'm gonna just break it off at what 15 18 yards and just have a big chunk catch yep and just it's just stuff like that If Archer's not playing well, that means the receivers have to be on point on the outside.

They got to be on point. They got to help him out.
You got to bail him out in that situation. It didn't help that

you're playing the team that won the national championship, the opening game on the road in their building.

We know what Ohio State represents. We know how that crowd is.
And

they got an NFL, former NFL defensive coordinator coordinating that defense.

Normally, NFL defensive coordinators, when they go to college, they have a lot of success because they can get really exotic and can confuse.

Because you know if they can confuse NFL quarterbacks that's been quarterbacking for a number of years at that level, they should have some success against a college quarterback in his real first true year of starting.

So I'm going to give Arch a little leeway, but there are some throws that I expect him to make. If you're what they say you are,

it doesn't matter who you're playing. There are certain throws you should be able to complete.
And we didn't see enough of that today.

But like you said, this was the worst case scenario for Arch starting on the road, your first game as the true leader on the road in the horseshoe.

That's you're asking for a lot. But we got to stop throwing around generational.
We just got to just, let's just calm down. Let him play.
We want him to be Peyton and Eli.

Oh, he's going to be number one overall pick. Just let him play.

I was going to say,

the way they throw him around, the way they advertise him, the way the media talks about him.

So, regardless of whether you play in the horseshoe, regardless of whether you play in Ohio State, regardless of whether it's week one,

we are expecting to see exactly what the media says you are.

But anyway,

he didn't play well. He didn't play well.
I'm sure he'll rebound next week.

I'm not sure who Texas is. Would he play next week? That's San Jose State.
oh there we go there we go he might hey listen he might throw for 700

where you a ideally johnny you want san jose first then go to ohi state you a you i want to get my feet hey oh i just don't want to if you notice guys when they swimming they put the water on their body they want to feel the little water look and they just don't jump in cold hey let me sometimes you know they jump down in there and get get a little bird bath on um but like i said i just want the people to just stop using that word it seems like every time we get a decent player, oh, he's, oh, he's, he's, he's

generational. Bro, y'all need to understand what generational means.

And I don't think you do because it sounds good. Oh, he's a generational talent.
Bro.

I mean,

his uncle was a generational talent, the one at Tennessee. Cam Newton was generational.

We never, we didn't, oh, oh, man, Cam. Oh, he played Alabama or he played LSU.
We didn't make no excuses for Cam.

We didn't make no excuses for Peyton.

But now we want to make excuses. Remember when Peyton couldn't beat Florida?

We made no excuses. So we're not finna make no excuses now.
He's going to have to play better in order for Texas to get to where they want to go. He will have to play better.

Judge, let me ask you this. Do you think with Patricia orchestrating that offense, Jeremiah Smith, Ocho didn't, they did a great job of covering him.

You can see the frustration at the start of the bill. Big will put three guys on him.
Do you think they should be title favorites again to repeat, Johnny? Ohio State?

Yeah, I think so. I think you're going to see that the way they're going to defend Jeremiah Smith all year, you're going to get a lot of that.
He's going to be extremely frustrated.

Same time, that should let wide receiver two, wide receiver three, and even a running back out of that team be foaming at the mouth for for the opportunities they're going to have at the backside of some of these plays and some of these schemes.

Because as they go on, I think Ohio State is extremely well coached.

And Patricia leading that defense, I think it's exactly what you said.

Having a guy who's been in the NFL for so long being able to come back and do this at the college level should be able to put in some different

looks. Like he's sitting there watching film and it's such a different look.

from everything that he's accustomed to in the past and just has to be sitting there with a plethora of ideas of what he can bring to it.

And as long as you have a good experienced group of people in that room and guys who are all together communicating it, there really is, you can put all this stuff in in college.

You just have to have the right guys to be able to do it. So

it looks so far after what you've seen today. And granted, it's only week one.

And we're in a college football era now where you can lose twice, maybe even three times and still go on, you know, to get into the playoff and be a national champion.

So it's hard to not you don't want to overreact too much after after week one but ohio state has a really good team we'll see if uh if the qb play can continue to expand throughout the season because that's what it really comes down to

another thing too unknown when it comes to jeremiah smith they got to be more they got to be more creative they understand the stat line he had last year when they played against texas it wasn't that good so what do you do you come with a game plan you come with a game plan to move jeremiah smith around you don't just have him on the outside to the left you don't just have him on the outside to the right you put him in motion you condense the splits, forcing the DBs to get off.

There's so many, have him coming out the backfield. There's so many ways to give him the ball.

Whatever you want to do. Yeah, I know he has some drops today, but he's the best player on the field by far on either team.
It doesn't matter.

So there's so many things you can do with him to make sure you can get him in rhythm and get him going.

There are no excuses. No excuses.

All I'm saying is this. I don't give a damn if Jeremiah Smith got a trench coat, a disguise, a mustache, and a hat.
That guy in the disguise and the mustache and the hat, he not beating us.

So I don't give a damn what you do with him. You can put him in the backfield.
You can punch it.

You can stack him. I don't care where you put him.

Somebody else beat me. He not beat me because you know why? I know he can beat me.
I'm not sure these other guys can. So I don't care what you do with it, Bocho.

You can have him out there looking like Inspector Gadget with a trench coat and everything. He ain't beat me.
So I'm just saying, I'm just saying. The guy with the trench coat, Coach, he ain't nobody.

Don't worry about it. You cover that nobody.
My fitness is important, but sometimes I need to do a little roll call and adjust my routine.

If you have an honest conversation, one uncomfortable minute can save you a lifetime of regret. The CDC says nearly one in five people carry an STI, and most don't even know it.

Hi, I'm Martine Hackett, host of Untold Stories: Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a production from Ruby Studio in partnership with Argenix.

This season, we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from people living with MG and CIDP.

Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone. We'll hear from people like Corbin Whittington.

After being diagnosed with both CIDP and dilated cardiomyopathy, he found incredible strength through community.

So when we talk community, we're talking about an entire ecosystem surrounding this condition, including, of course, the patients at the center that are all trying to live life in the moment, live life for the future, but then also create a new future.

miami hurricane take down the number six fighting irish of notre dame 2724.

this is miami's first win against the top 10 team since beating notre dame in 2017 carson beck the guy they paid four million dollars for threw two touchdown passes he was 20 of 30 205 yards two touchdowns clean game no interceptions uh irish may have found their quarterback CJ Carr, but tonight's performance will leave

Marcus Freeman with plenty of other questions to answer. Oh, yeah.
Carr had was 19 of 30, 221, two touchdowns, one interception.

The U was in control of this game, Ocho. I thought they were like, we're going to put it away 24 to 14.
And the next thing you know, you turn around and the score is 24-24. Oh, yeah.

They'll give the U credit. They put the drive together late in the ball game, got a field goal, and then turned it over to the defense.
And the defense did what they supposed to do.

Ocho, what did you you like?

What did you like about what you saw from the you? Listen, you look very good. Obviously,

I was really worried about the quarterback position. How is Carson Beck going to look? How is his resurgence away from Georgia?

How is he going to look in that University of Miami uniform and keeping us? No, excuse me, let me not say us, keeping University of Miami program where it needs to be, where Cam War left him.

They were in good hands.

So now, based on what I saw today, they're still in good hands small semblance weather a little bit i thought the games were going to run away with the game uncle when it was 21 7 yeah mr freeman and car and that offense found a way to get themselves back in the game and make it a little bit more interesting a little bit very interesting game it didn't have to be that close but for some reason coaches always have a way of calling a calling a conservative game to allow the other team to get back in

well i think the thing is

towards the end, you don't want to do anything reckless. I understand.
Because here's the thing. Think about 28-3.

Kyle Shanahan called a game like he'd always been calling it. Now people say, why you ain't running the ball? Why you didn't get conservative? You get conservative and lose.

People like, well, why you get conservative? You stay aggressive and you lose. People call you a bonehead.
It's a very fine, it's a very fine line that you have to walk.

And if you do something and you turn the ball over, I called a game, but I didn't call no turnovers. So you can't put that on me.

You know, somebody misses a block, somebody misses an assignment or something like that, Ocho, a drop pass on third down. Now you're getting off the field.

I've always felt it's easier to play from behind than it is with a lead because you throw caution to the wind when you're behind. What do I got to lose, Ocho? I'm already down.
I'm down 14 points.

I'm down 17, 21 points. I don't have a damn thing to lose.
Everybody's already written me off. So I can throw caution to the wind.
I can run a triple reverse. I can on sidekick you.

I can do whatever because there is no expectation at that point in time because I'm down by double-digit scores. And so

I understand to a certain extent, but I thought Miami tonight, I thought they made plays. I thought the one-hand touchdown grab, Ocho would have got 30 out of an interception.

And that's what you have to have. If you're going to get to where you want to go, you're going to have to have guys to make plays on both sides of the ball.
I love what Bain Jr. did.

the defensive end. He thought he had it one time.
He got the ball away on second down. Bain said, come here, I'm going to get you.
I'm going to get you again. And got him again.

But as a quarterback, you know you can't take a sack in that situation. You got no timeouts.
And all you receivers are way downfield.

So by the time you get them back, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tig, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick. And also, as a quarterback, he's a young quarterback.

Very good, two cars. Very good.
He surprised me. He surprised me tonight.
You also have to know in that situation, the defense ends, they got the ears peering back. Yeah, they're coming.

The ears pin back. They come.
They coming right away. So you got to do

your two tackles some justice and being able to maneuver in that pocket right away, understanding that them boys coming straight up here right away.

Other than that, Marcus Freeman and that Notre Dame team, they're going to be all right. They are going to be all right.
University of Miami, them boys look good.

I know right now outside tonight, Unc, even with the rain going on, boy, good old time. They don't look like the hurricanes of the early 2000s.
but they look good

they got that level of talent yeah exactly but but they look good Yeah, they look good. They look good.
Yeah. Ain't no Andre Johnson running around there.
Ain't nothing

Clinton Porterson, no Frank Gordon, no Willis McGehyde, no Shockies.

Who else was on that team? When you look at that, Antrell Rowe, Ed Reed,

Sean Taylor. Yeah,

William Bryant. And those two linebackers,

Vilma.

But I like what I saw. Miami

head coach Mario Christobal said on Kane's win. Come on, look around.
I played in this robbery. Look at the way hard rock is rocking.
Miami Hurricane football. Yeah.
And he played, hey,

you're right. I mean,

they were rocking.

You know, they had a lot of their former stars, their former great players there. That's always great to see.

That's what I like that tradition that a lot of these teams have where they're great play, where they're great players, their former players, come back, especially if they're able to.

You see homecoming week when guys have bye weeks. You see them standing on the sideline at Ohio State.
You see them standing on the sideline in Michigan and Alabama and all that stuff.

It was always great to see that. I remember when I was, you know, when I was at Savannah State and the guys would come back, it made me feel good.

I really never got an opportunity to get back, Ocho, because, you know,

during our bye week,

I think I went to one homecoming, but for the most part, I didn't, you know, it wasn't homecoming or just playing an away game. But it's always great to see it.

And as you said, Ocho, Miami Hurricane Football look good carson blackbeck played really well 20 of 30 205 two touchdowns clean game he didn't turn it over um

but there's still a lot of football to go uh i don't know if it's clemson on their schedule

florida state uh that's the acc

so let me let me tell you something onk it's been a very long time chat everybody in the chat it's been a very long time since we got two

really good teams with a UM and Florida State meeting up. Now that's going to be not that is going to be a goddamn game.
Boy, what Florida State put on film yesterday and what you

put on film tonight, man, stop playing, man. And obviously, listen, you're only going to get better as the season goes on, especially from an offensive standpoint.

The offense always starts a little slower.

They're a little behind the eighth ball as opposed to defense. Who, again, who would all they have to do is just read and react.
Once they get themselves into a rhythm, man, please.

CJ Daniels didn't catch a touchdown pass last season at LSU, but he scored his first touchdown since 2023 with a one-handed grab in the rain. And, you know, I thought the

ball security was fairly well. I mean, considering the inclement weather, it seemed like the turf gave a little bit.
You know, you're below sea level.

So once things get saturated, the turf is going to give. If I'm not mistaken, Ocho, I think they had a black college football.
I think Howard played somebody in that same stadium yesterday.

They played somebody. Howard played the illustrious, the one and the only.

Didn't y'all get beat?

Of all time. They played Fam U.
did y'all get beat huh didn't y'all get beat it oh it was 10 to 9.

it was 10 to 9 so which team had 10 all i need to know who had 10 who

who had 10

oh howard oh so who had the nine

the greatest hbu hbc of all time fam you so they so they lost can i tell you something

yes you can tell me something florida and in marching 100 they won the halftime show. So technically,

we want. Well, I want to see.
I want to see them go

the human jukebox.

Southern? Yeah, bad. See, I can't even say nothing bad because I love Southern.
I can't even say nothing bad. I can't turn it up.
Hey, they showed out for us at the Super Bowl. They did.

They showed up for us. They did.
I love Southern, especially what they did for us down there in New Orleans. I love you to death, but you know, my allegiance, my life.

If I cut myself right now, well, I bleed orange and green. You bleed, you bleed orange and brown, Oregon State Beavers.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I bleed, I bleed orange and green. Oregon State.

You have to understand, remember how bad I was in high school, coming out of high school? No, I'm finna see, I'm finna see, I'm finna Google.

I'm finna google. I was supposed to be at Fairview.

I was supposed to be at Fam You. I'm telling you, listen, Aung, let me tell you something real quick.
Hey, chat, let me give you a small example, right?

When I was in high school, I wanted to be like a receiver that played for Miami Edison High School. Y'all could Google this, Google this.

I looked up to these boys. His name was Jaque Nunley.
Somebody, I don't know. If I have anybody in the chat that's from Miami, you might remember Jaque Nunley.

Went to Miami Edison, played receiver, if I'm not mistaken. I think he might have wore number three.
He went to Famu.

Me as a high, me coming out of high school, oh, shoot, I want to be like Jaque Nunley. Well, I want to go to Famu.
So that was part of my love for Famu right there.

Outside of my grandma and my mama always having me at the classic every year as a little kid. I went to the Florida Classic Unks in 1984.

My mama and my grandma went to Cookman.

They went to Cookman. But I just, that orange and green, boy, they came out.
They, hey, they were margin on.

I was like, oh, I got to go there. Man,

hey, my brain. You went to the Beavers.

Well, Unk,

I had to go to the only place I can get in. I had to go to the only place that would accept me.

I had to go go place that was willing to give me a one-for-one with no eligibility left thank you hey thank you to dennis erickson who remembered me from the little camps when he was with the hurricanes

that's that's why he gave me a shot man i couldn't well you could have after you got after you went to samo you could have went to fam you huh after you went to samo you could have went back to fam you i was i was already on the or i was already on the west coast i didn't want to navigate and come all the way back here because i had to get out of florida you know to really get to my destination.

Exactly. That's why it worked out where you weren't supposed to go to Fam You.

You'd have still been in Miami and you go home to Fam View.

But listen, the funny thing about it is when I get some time, right now I have like, I got like 273 jobs. Yes.

When the football season ends, I'm enrolling myself back in school at Fan U to finish everything and get my degree. I got, Uncle I ain't even got my degree yet.

I just got a whole bunch of jobs with no degree.

So So I'm looking to get my master's. Well, how close are you to getting your degree? Hey, Unc, boy, listen.
Don't let me tell you, though. Don't let me lie to you.
Dude, have mercy.

So in other words, you spent two couple of years in college and you farther away from getting a degree than you when you went. But hey, hey, listen, God is good.
What you going to take online classes?

No, I'm not going to be. I'm going to go.
I'm going to school.

Man, your big rust ass ain't going to be sitting up in no classroom. Who not? Uncle Fam you, Tallahassee right down the street.
I know what Fam you is.

But I'm saying, but listen, I would have the time to go to class and get that HBCU experience because once football season ends,

every job I'm doing, it comes down to

a halt a little bit. And I got a little bit of room to maneuver.
So I want that experience.

And then also, not only am I going to enroll and go back to school, I'm also going to enjoy the band because you know how much I love the band.

You know, I play saxophone, I can play drum, I can play tuba, and then Shelby Chipman. Shelby Chipman, who's the band, the band director at Famu, boom, ready.
And

I can probably probably see if i can i can um try and be the drum major or something

okay yeah i'm i'm listening i'm i'm taking it my second half this is my second half of life huh i got to do something with it i got a small window opportunity ain't no telling when i'm going ain't no telling i'm on the other side of the mountain i'm once you hit your fit once you're over your 50s you're on the other side of the mountain So I'm going downhill now.

So I'm trying to get everything out the way and check everything off my bucket list. It all depends on how much you did coming up on the other side of the mountain.

It will determine

how long it's going to take you to get down on the other side of the mountain. That's a good question.

I don't mean to be, what's the word I'm looking for? I don't mean to sound ignorant. Yeah.
I've been out of school so long.

How hell do I find out how many more credits I need for one, to get a diploma, to graduate? Well,

you have to get your

thing from Oregon State. Transcripts? Yes.
Get your transcripts. Yeah.
And they still got all that?

Yeah, hell yeah they still got it okay okay you know when when they up let's hope you let's hope you got some credits i know i got something

i don't know ojo because i think you went i think you made your eligibility you weren't going

i think i don't think i don't think you was trying to i don't think you was trying to get no no degree i think you were just trying to stay eligible hey that's it that's it i probably was i probably was

listen the funny thing about it um is i was i'm one of the smartest sharpest pupils in the classroom i just had a problem not wanting to go to class.

I think the thing is, do you have a problem now, Ocho?

Is that you being your age and your mind turning your mind off about those jobs that you got? Right. You know what I'm saying?

So now because you got to focus, I mean, I don't know if, like, you say you want to go to class to sit in that classroom. Yeah.
You sitting there. Cause I remember when I went back at Ocho, I was 20.

I was 22. And I'm sitting in the classroom and I'm like,

I got more money than everybody in here. Yeah.
More money than the teacher.

I say, man, I got to get up out of here. I say, ain't no way.
There's no way, OJo, I could have waited.

And I'm always impressed by guys that do it that wait three, four, five years and then go back to school. Right.
Now, if you're going to do it online away, okay, that's fine.

But to go sit in those classrooms, you see, I couldn't do it. You see why you can't do it? You understand why you can't do it?

You had that experience. You've been to HBCU.

I did. I have.

I've always wanted my dream to go to Florida AM. That was my dream.

I never got to relive that, you know? So I had the cars I was dealt. I did the best I could with them.
But now I have the opportunity. You know what?

I can finish off that childhood dream, no matter how old I am. You got to understand.

But going to class, I think on, I mean, going to class, actually going to school, if I'm not mistaken, a class ain't nothing but an hour long.

I sit here.

It all depends. I mean, it all depends.
We were on the quarter system, Mocho. So you're right.
We only went to a class for like 50 minutes, but it was five days a week.

If you're on the semester system, you might only have to go to class once to twice a week. Right.
So it all depends. And then, you know, you might have class, you might have labs.

I mean, it's been 30 plus years. I mean, I graduated in 91.
So

Laura,

I couldn't even tell you. I just know how my attention span is.
Is that to be able to turn, yeah.

I said, man, me and meetings. Me and meetings don't get along.
Me and meetings don't get along, man.

That's the difference.

The difference with me, you have to understand, I can sit there and you'd be like, man, what you you doing i can sit there and play madden for nine hours straight and one cheat and not move not move i could be fifa for eight nine hours straight i could stream

for seven six hours straight without moving so imagine me going to school and being excited because it's an experience i'd never got to do before what about the class what about the curriculum are you going to be excited about every class that you take oh absolutely absolutely because i understand what the end goal is in order to get to the end goal i got to put the work in okay i got to put work they ain't finna just hand me no damn diploma.

I'm trying to walk across the star. I'm trying to walk across the stage throwing them fangs.
What you talking about? Yeah. That's the best part about it.

To walk across the stage and have your family scream your name and everything. My family.

But it ain't. Well, y'all is my family.
My mama gone. My grandma gone.
Oh, but I'm saying you got Johnson. You got the kids.
I mean, the kids gonna be there. Yeah.

Okay, listen, gonna be the nightcap family. It's gonna be you and ass and Jordan and everybody else.
Okay, okay.

I show up. All my kids, you know let me know how many of you graduate class i'm gonna come where they get to johnson so i can be a little late

listen i'm gonna come you know how to uh you know how they do the new graduation i'm gonna damn in the damn middle evening hey what

shoot man hey my daughter's done graduated man my daughter done graduated from prairie view and man and i ain't graduated yet How they done beat me? My oldest daughter done graduated.

My son done graduated from Arizona State. I'm the one with no diploma.
My kids doing better than me. Yeah.

But that's what you want. You want your kids to do better than you.
That's the whole purpose of why you did what you did. Yeah.
So they wouldn't have to go through, so they wouldn't have the struggle.

Now, look, I don't want, I don't, I didn't want to absolve all my kids from struggle because sometimes people, I want my, no, no, no, no.

You want your kids to struggle somewhat because you want them to understand life is not a bed of roses. So you want some struggle, but you don't want them to have to go through what you

went through where basically your entire life was a struggle. But some struggle for a kid

build calluses

and help them

navigate this thing called life.

Because at some point in time, there will be a struggle.

There will be some hardship. There will be some adversity.
And you don't want them to have such a smooth ride that

they don't know how to handle or navigate

that obstacle

or that roadblock that's been placed in front of them. But yeah, you want your kids.

You did what you had to do to make sure you put your kids in a better situation than what you came up with.

This is the funny thing about it.

And one thing I won't do up here and get up here, panel, like the reason for my kids' success and the reason they're doing so well in life at their age now, at their big age right now, is because of me.

Because

oh, it's not. Oh, Uncle, it's not.
Those I have kids from

did a hell of a job and they still doing a hell of a job.

That's why i can't wait and this goes for everyone and they they'll probably see this they probably not reading the chat but when i win this power ball right

you laugh i'm not i'm not even playing i'm gonna win the powerball right you win that 1.1 billion yeah yeah i'm gonna spit it in three halves Half going to those I have kids from for a job well motherfucking done.

Okay. One half going to Nightcap because we're going to do some wild stuff ain't never been done.
Lord have mercy. And listen.
Oh, Joe.

Look, I don't skydive.

i'm good i'm gonna let you do that i'm gonna be on the ground filming and the other half going to the nightcap followers see the uh the subscribers yeah 1.8 whatever it is we're gonna break down a huge portion for all of them for always supporting right that's how i know god gonna bless me because you know i'm gonna do what i'm supposed to do with the money i'm gonna do good getting back Well, we gotta get, we gotta give, you gotta give a percent to the church.

We gotta find some churches that's doing the right thing, that's helping people in the community. Okay.

You got a tithe. Okay.
Oh, well, we're gonna start with Newbirth. We're gonna start with new birth, Baptist Church.
We ain't never been to New Birth, buddy.

Remember, I told you I grew up in New Birth. Hold on, you talk about new birth in Latonia?

New birth in Opalaca. Oh, okay.

135th.

Hey, Reverend, Reverend Victor Curry.

Okay, yeah, come on now.

Talk to me. I thought you talked about new birth in

Lazonia.

It's another yes, yes. Where at? Uh, in Atlanta.

I think it's in La Lonia. Yeah, they got a congregation.
I think think they got a congregation of about 20,000. What?

A what? Yeah, about 20,000. I think it's about that big.
A church?

Anybody who

go to New Birth in this chat? Hold on.

A church with 20,000 people?

Oh, yeah. That's like a college stadium.
I mean, a small college stadium.

I think Pastor Jamal Bryant is the pastor now.

Oh.

Okay.

I know. Yeah, he took up for Bishop Eddie Long, who passed away.
I think he had cancer some years ago. I think Jamal Bryant is the head pastor now, if I'm not mistaken.

I think, chat, don't quote me, but I think he is the pastor at Newbirth. God, hey, a 20,000 congregation? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What you call him?

Creflo Dahla, I think his...

First Christian something. Joel Osteen.
I mean, yeah, they got a lot of the, I mean, they have two services, oh, Joe. Yeah, they beat your church.
What do they call mega churches?

Joe O'Cina in Atlanta, too, in Houston. Okay, yeah,

yeah, but these mega churches, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not the churches that you and I grew up that we were hoping to have a hundred people in there or something like that, you know what I'm saying, and you know, fourth Sunday or pastor's anniversary, church anniversary, or something like that, you might get an overflow crowd, but yeah, man, these churches now, Ocho, they,

you know,

look, I, you know, I read my Bible, I read

these literatures. I get these little pamphlets, man.
I just don't believe in the prosperity aspect of it. I don't.

I don't believe in church members suffering while the pastor's living great.

I don't believe in that prosperity. I don't.
I understand you tithe, you give what you can, but when you start telling me I must do this,

just count me. I'm just going to go in.
I do what. I might not necessarily tithe to the church every month, but

I do

this charity, that charity. I make sure I do, I do what I can, what I feel out of the goodness of my heart.

I just don't tell people about it because I don't think you, that's something you should advertise. But I'm proud of you.
I hope you do go back in

the life church in Oklahoma has 85,000 members. Man, come on, come on, man.
Weekly attendance. Weekly attendance.
So, so how many, how many, how many

8,500? 850,000,000

weekly attendees.

Because some churches, some churches, you have two services on Sunday, and then you might have another service or a couple of services during the week. So that's where, huh? Go ahead.

How do you get that many people? 85,000,000 people?

That's more people

that Pay Corps Stadium, the Banquet is fitting in the stadium. What are we talking about?

Baby, hey. You talk about the Bible, Bill, Ocho.

Oh.

You know, in the South, people believe in in that Bible. They look, that's why they look down on certain, certain aspects of

sexuality. Right, right, right, right, right.
They frown upon that. But, you know, look, we're not, we don't need to get in that, but hey, right.

Joel Osteen has 45,000 people.

Joel Osteen has 45,000 members,

some of these churches, some of the things I'm hearing about them. Yeah.

Congregations. But I go to church for two things.
I go to church for two things. I go to hear that word.
Yes. And they got to hear the choir.
And

I want that old traditional good gospel.

That old,

Come on, now. Come on now.

I have you a couple of suits that I had made. You know what I'm saying? On your I ain't gonna be able to use them in 2025.
But you know, you know what I'm saying, but you know, I got them.

It's always in case, you know, they wide leg, you know what I'm saying? They wide leg, Ocho.

That's sharp now. That's gonna be sharp now.
Peak lapels? Yeah.

Man, look here.

So clean, fly light on me, I cut his throat.

Oh, man. I like it.
I like it. Man, I just, matter of fact.

I just, every time I talk about gospel, I hear something about gospel, we get to talk about the church, or you tell me anything when it comes to dogs or animals.

I get to get to getting emotional for no reason at all. Man, I tweeted something earlier today.

Oh, that goddamn Kiki Wyatt,

I've retweeted, like, I didn't tweet that Musta Day. So if it's still on the timeline right now, and she was singing, and I just put the goat at the top of it, and I listened to it.

Man, that lady there, man, something special. She got a voice, huh? Man, she got a voice, boy.
She's so ranky. She, hey, she, she was in there.
She was playing. She was in there playing.

Like, this is what I do.

Let's transition back to Miami Hurricanes 2025 schedule, Ocho. They beat No Today in 27-24.
Next week, they're at home against Bethune-Cookman. Then,

Then October 4th, they're on the road against Florida State. Home against Louisville.
Home against Stanford.

At SMU, home against Syracuse, home against NC State, on the road against Virginia Tech, on the road against Pittsburgh.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, just a second. Something is at a neutral site.
What game game played in a neutral?

No, no, no, no. FSU is October 4th.

Hey, they got a good chance to run the table. Virginia got the answer.

I already see it either. Oh, yeah, they got a chance.
You know, they got South Florida, Florida, Florida State.

Most of the tough, the Florida State game ain't going to be easy now. Oh, no,

not based on what I saw yesterday, especially when that Florida State defense. South Carolina Gamecocks beat Vartek 24 to 11.
The Gamecocks opened the season with a win over its coach, Shane Beamers.

What's up? It's Big Lone from It's Up That Podcast. On this episode, we're unpacking the difference between toxic love and a real bond.

How so many of us were taught to survive love instead of experiencing it. A lot of men think being solid means being silent.
I'm good. I got it.

That's the script we memorize before we even know ourselves. Because somewhere along the line, expression got labeled weakness.
So now we perform composure while we're falling apart.

You'll share your body, but not a conversation, and that's not intimacy. But what if being a man really means you care enough to communicate? Real love isn't loud.
It's consistent.

It's the small things, the small check-ins, the shared accountability, the honesty that feels awkward but keeps everyone safe. Stop confusing numbness with dependability.

We got to break the cycle and break the pattern.

Hi, I'm Martine Hackett, host of Untold Stories: Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition, a production from Ruby Studio in partnership with Argenix.

This season, we're sharing powerful stories of resilience from people living with MG and CIDP.

Our hope is to inspire, educate, and remind each other that even in the toughest moments, we're not alone. We'll hear from people like Corbin Whittington.

After being diagnosed with both CIDP and dilated cardiomyopathy, he found incredible strength through community.

So when we talk community, we're talking about an entire ecosystem surrounding this condition, including, of course, the patients at the center that are all trying to live life in the moment, live life for the future, but then also create a new future.

Listen to Untold Stories, Life with a Severe Autoimmune Condition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Alma Motor, his dad coached there for almost

30 years.

Frank Beamer, is Frank Beamer, right? Isn't that his dad name? Right.

Carolina looked good. Carolina looked really good.
That big receiver they got,

Nick.

What's his name? Hold on.

Man, they got a receiver, OJo, like 6'4 by 230. He could fly.

Carolina, South Carolina. Yeah, man.
Yeah.

He run 10, 10, 100 meters, 20, 20 in the 200 meters. Yeah.

Oh, man. He looked good.
He caught a bomb. Caught a bomb.
Oh, here it is right here.

But I like Carolina. I like the way they got out the field.
I like them uniforms.

The quarterback,

Laura Sellers. Sellers, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah,

he played well today.

He has that ability. He's a true dual threat.
He has a nice, lively arm.

Obviously, can run out, can get out the pocket and make plays.

I thought they did a great job of, and Mike shuler's calling the plays mike shuler called plays in the nfl yeah and so uh several was 12 of 19 209 one touchdown clean game interception no interceptions yeah they had 37 carries for a buck 19 one touchdown um

but the defense uh the defense played well carolina defense gate played well very very well a safety and three field goals you could live with that you could live with that

um

but i like though i like those i like those uniforms uniforms. Carolina got some nice uniforms.
Yeah.

You like the all-black? I like that all-black.

I like that all-black. All right.
It's all right.

You ain't like Virginia Tech all orange? No.

Yeah.

Maybe they had Mike Vick out there running around and I might have liked him. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellano mocks Alabama with merch after opening up said prior to FSU game Costellano stated they don't have Nick Saber to save them.

I just don't see them stopping me. Costellano not only backed up by beating Balmer 31-17, but now it's profiting off it.
He's selling on Shirk's website, taunting Alabama merch. Nick can't save them.

What's the pettiest thing you've ever done after backing up your trash talk on the field, Locho? Hey, that's a funny thing. Wait, excuse my ignorance.

As a collegiate kid, are you allowed to sell merch like that and profit from it outside of NIL? You can do that?

Yeah, I guess so. Oh, that's dope.
I like that.

Yeah. For one, the fact that Castelono, the fact that Castellonos said that before week one against a team like Alabama, and then went out there and backed it up and did it.

Man, please.

Alumni and all them students probably bought all that stuff up, right? You know what I mean? Of course.

Of course.

It's only up from here. Yeah, absolutely.
It's only up from here. All right.
Just keep winning. Hey, keep winning.
And your pockets are going to get fatter and fatter, young man.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
He was 9 to 14, above 52,

16 rushes, 78 yards, but he was the quarterback of note. His team won.
He played really, really well. He didn't have stats to blow you away.

The most impressive stat that a quarterback can have is a win. W.
Because at the end of the day,

that's how we're supposed to measure quarterbacks.

And he's one more, and he beat Alabama. And we know what Florida State has been over the last couple of years.

There are a lot of people that was calling for their head coach's job.

But the alumni and the

they stayed the booster they stay and the president they stayed true so that we believe in this this guy because they had just went what they didn't they go to i think uh nah they had lost they lost their quarterback they didn't make the college football player

yeah

but came back and uh here they are open the season with a big-time win they weren't ranked but they will be when the rankings come out on tuesday yeah absolutely uh but that's what you have to do ocho you have to go out there you see said what he said and he went out there and backed it out He backed it up, and he's right.

Coach Sabin couldn't save him. Caleb DeBoer, you got to get on, you got to

get in on the action, bro. It's time to go.
In April, Nico Amaleva decided to walk away from Tennessee balls after feeling that he wasn't being paid what he deserved.

At Tennessee, I'm a Leva NIO deal with around $2 million mark, but he wanted a bump to approximately $4 million and increased Tennessee was unwilling to grant.

However, at UCLA, I'm a Leva took a pay cut, earning only $1.2 million. And then when you factor in the state laws at California, 50%, he makes $600,000.

UCLA opened the season on Saturday against Utah, and they lost 43 to 10. He finished with 11 completions on 22 pass attempts, 50%,

136 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception. Hey, sometimes you got to be careful.

Yeah.

Sometimes you got to be careful. Now, this is just not a message for him.
This is message in life in general. Sometimes you're in situations.
Sometimes you're in situations where you want more

and you think the grass is green on the other side when you got stability right there in your backyard.

You got comfortability right there in your backyard.

Tennessee is a no-state, not to cut you off on your, but if I'm not mistaken, I think Tennessee is a no-state income tax. Yeah, come on, man.

You got to understand that. And then you're trying to be greedy.
Your play on the field is going to take care of itself.

If you want more money in NIL, it's going to take care of that in between the lines

with your play. They will have no problem bumping you up.
They let you go for a reason. They let you go seek out what you're looking for, which is more elsewhere.

And then you go somewhere where you make

less and they tax you more. Yes.
And they tax more. And you lost your first game against Utah.

Come on, man. That's a life lesson in itself, too.

So that's a life lesson in itself.

So

million dollars. So you at 30, what is it, 36% tax rate? So every million dollars you get 630,000.
So he could have made 1.260.

Now he's making 600,000. So he left 600,000 on the table.

That's money in his pocket.

Come on,

you got to do better. Understand the situation you're in.
Because California is,

I think, a 13%,

yeah, 13% state income tax. So you figure 36% plus 13, that's 49%.

Then you got FICA, and then you got all these other, because hey, California hit you over your head. Oh, they coming to get theirs.
Boy, California hits over your head. They get theirs.

Well, they get all that.

All that. They need to use that goddamn money to expand the goddamn 405 and make it 200

to fix the traffic.

Well, if that's the case, they need to make it to 810.

they don't need to they don't need to expand nothing they need to look

i mean california they be taxing they got what probably the fourth or fifth largest gdp of anywhere in the in the world and we talk about a state we ain't talking about the united states we talk about a state within the united states that's how much money that they make um

it's just that

you can't take care of every single person yeah

you know and and and and and cali try to they try to take care of of every single person. I think they waste a lot of money.

Man,

I thought we're going to have a good game because it started out good for UFC. They got the ball go right down the field.
I said, okay. I said, Coach Belichick might have got him a stink.

But come to find out, all he did, they just pooped on the field. That was the only stank out there.
Because, boy, they stunk it up tonight.

48 to 14, the hornfrogs travel on the road, go down to Chapel Hill. Woo, Chapel Bill.
They need to pray for it. Because because they're going to go get real ugly.

It's going to get ugly before it gets better, Ocho

LT.

But 48 to 14,

TCU really had their way with them. Over 500 yards of total offense.
They did a great job. They threw the ball well.
They ran the ball exceptionally well.

And North Carolina, look, I understand it's Coach Belichick's first year there, but you see the talent, the discrepancy. Now, I'm not saying TCU is Ohio State.
I'm not saying that.

I'm not saying they're LSU or one of those programs, but they have more talent than the the uh the tar heels um lg watch this game i know you had a vested interest in this game you're a great alum of tcu what did you like about what you saw from your ball club

well to your point your point on we have a veteran team man you know we have guys that have played a lot of football and you know when you have a veteran team guys that have you know been in some some tough games have have weathered the storm you're supposed to win a game like this versus a team, you know, in UNC who has brought in a lot of transfers.

It's a lot of turnover. They still don't know what they have yet.
So I'm just keeping it honest. We were supposed to win this game.

But what I like from my team, like typically, we can throw the ball all over the yard. But lately, we have had a trouble.
We've had a little trouble running the football to close out games.

And you guys know, as an RB, we got to be able to run the football. So that's what I love the most tonight is when we had to run the ball in the second half, man.
We dominated.

We controlled a lot of scrimmage. We had like three or four running backs in there running the football.
And I think that bodes well for us in the Big 12.

You took the ball, the first player of the drive, the first player

of the drive in the second half, and you go 75 yards. The guy goes 75 yards untouched.
So it was a harbinger of things to come. Oh, Cho, you watched this ball game.

There was a lot of fanfare. Everybody's talking about Coach Belichick.
We know what he's accomplished at the NFL level.

They started going through all his accolades, the six Super Bowl wins, the nine Super Bowl appearances, the 17, 18 division titles, and yada, yada, yada. But now he's coaching players.
And I think

to a certain point, all coaches have patience. But I think you have to show even more patience now, even though some of these guys are getting paid.

It's not like an NFL roster where every single guy is getting paid.

But watching this game, Ocho, what did you, is there anything, is there anything you you can take positive from what you saw from North Carolina?

I mean, the only thing I can take positive from North Carolina is the head coach of Bill Belichick. That's the only positive thing I can take.
You're playing a TCU team.

Obviously, you can see the discrepancy in the level of talent at each position. And one thing that Bill Belichick always harped on, he always harped on is turnovers.
You can't turn the ball over.

You can't make mistakes. Here's one thing.
Do your job and

everything else will take care of itself. Now, I'm not sure North Carolina schedule.
I'm not sure the team they have coming forward.

But when it comes to a team that's evenly matched, you know, from skill, from skill set to skill set, whether it be defensively or offensively, we will get to see a better outcome from

Bill and that coaching staff. Coaches can only do so much, huh? Yeah.
LT, coaches can only do so much. At some point, you have to go out there and execute.

And it's a team game, but it's 11 individuals on the field. And you got to win your job.
You got to win your individual battle. And then the outcome of team comes into play.

They were, they were, they, they were, they weren't out coached, but they were outclassed because of the level of talent that TCU had tonight. Obviously, I think they looked a little.

Go ahead, go ahead. I think they looked.

Yeah, I was going to say, I think they looked a little better when the backup quarterback came in, Max Johnson.

They looked a little bit better. He threw the ball a little bit better.
They had a little bit better rhythm to their offense. And if you guys know, that's Brad Johnson.

So you know he has the pedigree in order to play the position.

So maybe they make that turn to to this young young man who is obviously has played a lot of football he's been the lsux texas a them so he's played a lot of football i agree

i have a question on uh lt and unc have a question for quick will they really make a move already from the starting quarterback after after just one game or do they give him another chance will they make it but will bill make a move that fast

the way he looked yeah he did he did he really didn't look good and the question is how close was the quarterback battle because it said i mean they said he won the battle. So how close was it?

Was it a runaway or was it a last-second decision? But I agree with you, LT, because this young man has played at the top. He was the starting quarterback in the SEC.

He was starting quarterback at LSU. He was a starting quarterback at Texas A ⁇ M.

And for him, I'm surprised that he didn't win the job outright. I think we need to give Mr.
Lopez a little credit, but he didn't look good tonight. Now, okay, it's one game.

One game is not going to determine, but it's not going to, you can't have a lot.

Oh, Joe, you only got 10 11 games yeah i i can't wait to five games in to say okay i'm gonna pull the plug now it's a lot you get a

you get a lot quicker hooked in college than you do in the nfl because you have 17 weeks uh as opposed to like 11 weeks and but look

they don't they're not good

To make a long story short, guys, we talk about, oh, if they have a short leash, a long leash, they're not good. LT, you mentioned it.

When you get 70 trained, you got 70 new guys, you got 30 freshmen. Come on, man.
What do we expect?

What do we expect? This is. And you playing the ACC.

You playing the ACC. You see how Miami looks? Miami looked good

last night, man. Yes.

You got Clemson and you got Clemson in that division

in that conference. So North Carolina,

the Tar Heels are going to have to be on their best behavior. Now, I'm not saying, look, Wake Forest, we'll see what Wake Forest has in NC State, and there are a couple of other teams, the Dukes.

But right now, Carolina needs a lot. I mean,

what I was most disappointed in was their defense because that's where Coach Belichick, that's where his son, Steve Belichick, they cut their teeth. They're normally hanging.

Hey, when you come home, I already knew where my grandfather hat was supposed to go. So when he took it off and handed it to me, Ocho, I wouldn't put it right on the hat, right?

Cause I know where it was supposed to be.

The car heels are supposed to be able to hang the hat on what, Ocho? Defense. Yeah.

You got the greatest defense of mind and his son hold on hold on honk lt listen you got it you got the greatest defense of mind right when he was with the patriots he was the greatest defensive mind but he also had the tools out there on the field to be able to execute everything he everything he he brought to his mind yes but now you're at the collegiate level you you might have still need horses to run

hey listen that the

they didn't stop enough

and you got to have the talent there you have to have the talent

you got to

You can't have a beautiful mind with a 10 cent finish. Right.

They didn't stop nothing.

LT,

OJ, you guys remember we used to be in the game and celebrate the defense. Watch the run.
Watch the pass. Yeah, but you can't stop either one of them.
So it don't matter what we do.

You're right. We're going to do one or the other, but you can't stop either one.
That was. That was the tar heels tonight.
They couldn't stop anything. Guy had one carry, 28 yards.

11 carries, buck 13 with a 75 yard, a touchdown, seven carries for 28 yards. I mean, 35 for 258.
I'm like, bro, are y'all going to stop? Talk about the receiver.

The receiver had what, 10 catches for 11 for 15. 100-something yards.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

They didn't stop nothing. Nothing.
So to your point, like, they got to hang their head on something.

That's Bill Belichick's M.O., you know, to be able to take something away. And tonight, they didn't have the horses to be able to take anything.
Yeah,

and in horse racing, look, a good friend of mine, Bob Baffert, he trained two Triple Crown winners, American Pharaoh and Justify.

But at the end of the day, yeah, that plays a role, but he had the Pharaoh Breds to run. So whether you're Westerso, D.
Wayne Lucas, you'll McGay Heat, Bob Baffert, it does not matter.

If you do not have horses to run, you cannot win significant races. In football, look, and I don't take anything away from Andy Reed and all these great coaches, but you got to have players.

At the end of the day, it is the gems and the Joes. It ain't no X's and O's because you can have all the minds you want to.

It's the Jims and the Joes that's going to determine how good those X's and O's actually are. Every time.

Every time. But

not a great start. to coach Belichick's college career, college coaching career.

They lose at home 48 to 14.

And outside of that opening drive, that game what really wasn't close and they took a knee they took a knee in a goal to go situation or they could have had a a

a family a party style nugget a 50 piece on them yeah they're gonna be all right though

they're gonna be all right they're gonna be all right they're gonna i don't know if they're gonna be all right this year yeah no they they're gonna have some they're gonna have some ups and downs but they're gonna compete they're gonna compete

bill is the type of coach that even if you're losing, even with losses like tonight, even with losses like tonight, that's the type of coach you still want to do everything you can for to only not only appease him

but to prove the doubt is wrong. All those that are going to be talking trash because you knew you know what the meeting, you know, what the media are gonna do.

They, oh, they're gonna rip him to shreds. They was waiting for an opportunity like this, waiting to see what the debut looks like.
And then you go out there and lose.

The player, the players go, they're gonna step up, they're gonna step up, they're not gonna fold.

dead. Honestly, honestly.
Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like PrEP.

PrEP stands for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it.

PrEP can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.

Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead.
