What a matchup we got, y'all. This is that classic HBCU vibe.
Non-stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lick.
Chants echo. Drum beating.
Everybody showing that school pride. Game like this?
Yeah, it calls for an ice-cold Coca-Cola.
Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there.
Mmm, yeah. That taste always hits the right note, just like a band at halftime.
And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere, and an ice cold Coca-Cola, that's a winning combo.
No matter the sport, no matter the yard, everybody knows.
Fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca-Cola and keep that HBCU pride going.
Dealing with hydrodynamic superativa, HS, is tough. But you're not alone.
Before I started Cosintics, I looked at the website and saw it had many years of clinical research.
That made me feel confident.
Cosentix Secukinumab is prescribed for adults with moderate to severe hydridonitis suprativa, HS. Don't use if allergic to COSINTIX.
Get checked for TB before starting.
Increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur, like TB or other serious bacterial, fungal, or viral infections. Some were fatal.
Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, like fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches, or cough, had a vaccine or plan to, or if IBD symptoms develop or worsen.
Serious allergic reactions and severe eczema-like skin reactions may occur. Learn more at 1-844-COSENTIX or COSENTIX.com.
Don't wait. Ask your dermatologist about COSTENTIX.
Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy from the Breakfast Club. Now, picture this.
You open the car door, you step inside, and there's no driver in the front seat.
The car is driving itself, handling everything from pickup to drop-off. That's what hits you.

Acting early to protect brain health may help reduce the risk of dementia from conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
Studies have found that up to 45% of dementia cases may be prevented or delayed by managing risk factors you can change. Make brain health a priority.

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.

Oh, Joe, after five weeks, Sports Illustrated has dropped their NFL quarterback ranking. Here they are.
Josh Allen is number one. Patrick Mahomes is number two.
I'm only going to do the top 10.
Matthew Stafford is three. Lamar Jackson is four.
Jared Goff is five. Dak Prescott is six.
Baker Mayfield is seven. Justin Herbert is eight.
Jordan Love is nine. Drake May is 10.
Okay, just for the sake of argument, we'll go through 15.
Daniel Jones is 11.
Jaden Daniels is 12th. Sam Donnell is 13th.
Jalen Hurts is 14th. CJ Stroud is 15th.
Bo Nix is 20th. Jake Browning is 30.
Can I be honest with you? Yes. I'm not sure when they made that list, but Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield belong somewhere near the top, along with Josh Allen.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
If we're just talking about this year, Baker Mayfield got to be in the top five. Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen, whatever list this is, and whatever it came out, if it's
been done so far up into up to this week in the season, week five or week six, whatever. Yes, for sure.
Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield deserve to be in the top of that.
Somewhere, Sam Donald needs to be in there as well. Yeah.
If we're just baking it on this week,
I'm not so sure that Baker Mayfield shouldn't be one.
Look, we're not talking about, look, we understand what Josh Allen has done. We understand what Patrick Mahomes has done.
We understand what Matthew Stafford has done.
And we know the MVPs that Lamar has done. But
if we're basing it on the first five weeks of this season,
those guys haven't outplayed Baker Mayfield. I'm sorry.
And y'all know how I feel about Patrick Mahomes, and I love everybody that they got ranked,
but they have not played. There are not six quarterbacks playing better than Baker Mayfield.
That is a lie. I don't care what your fan base is.
I don't care if you're a Bill.
I don't care if you're a Chiefs. I don't care if you're the Rams, you're a Baltimore.
There are not
six quarterbacks playing the quarterback position better than Baker Mayfield. They're not.
Hell shit. Or Daniel Jones, for that matter.
No, they're not.
He's a surprise. I didn't know.
I mean, I could be one of them. I was a culprit, you know, who felt he wasn't going to succeed.
Yes. I just thought he wasn't based on what we saw from him in New York.
And for him to come to Indy and do what he's doing, I'm like, man, what in the world? He done flip the whole script in the AFC Son.
Neil, he's playing phenomenal football, man. So I want to be the first to say I apologize and I was wrong.
I told you he was going to start. You ain't pay.
The guy that the incumbent guy, the incumbent starter, which is Richardson, is making $4 or $5 million. They bring a backup in, making $14 million.
And you think the guy that's making $14 million is going to be on the bench? Oh, yeah.
That wasn't like that. That's not happening.
Ocho, with the game that you just watched, do you think Jalen Hurst is ranked appropriate at 14?
Oh, move.
Listen, we're not talking. He won the Super Bowl.
He's Super Bowl MVP.
Based on what you've seen through the first five weeks of the season, has he played better than Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Drake May, Jordan Love? Has he played better than those guys?
Glad you put it that way. I'm glad you put it that way.
If anything, you know what? He's appropriately ranked. He's appropriately ranked based on what they ask of him to do offensively.
What they ask him to do offensively, where the numbers are not going to be like any of those guys that's ahead of him. So what he's asked to do, he is appropriately ranked right where he is.
If that makes sense. all i know is there are not sick there are not six quarterbacks that's currently playing the quarterback position better than shake and bake they're just not
what you call him shake and bake
they're not look and look we know patrick mahomes is the most accomplished you know three super bowls three super bowl mvps you know he's been in the super bowl five times he's been in the afc championship every year that he's been a starter he's never not been in the NFC, AFC championship game.
We get all that. Lamar is a two-time league MVP.
Josh Allen is a one-time league MVP.
Matthew Stafford led a team to the Super Bowl. I get all of that.
And kudos. Those guys accomplished that and you can't take that away from them.
But I'm sorry, those guys are not playing the position better than Baker Mayfield is playing the position. It's just that simple.
That ain't got nothing to do with what he might do moving forward.
They said the first five weeks, it says after five weeks, sports illustrators dropped their quarterback ranking so they're saying after five weeks of this year 2025 nothing that happened 2024 going back nothing that's going to happen week six moving forward they said the first five weeks of this season baker mayfields played better than everybody yeah
and he has
And his record is just, they only lost one game. Josh Allen lost one game.
Patrick Holmes, I think, I don't know what they record.
Lamar Jackson is one and four. Matthew Stafford, I think they've lost two games.
Jerry Gawson lost a game. Dak, I think they're two, two, and one.
Yeah. What about with the Colts lost one, right?
Colts lost one, yes. Yeah.
What a matchup we got, y'all. This is that classic HBCU vibe.
Non-stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lick.
Chance echo. Drum beat.

No matter what time of year it is, we know it's important to uplift the spirit of pride, which is relatively easy when Palm Springs celebrates in November.
The first pride I went to, it made me feel like I was really part of something.
People being so joyous in the streets and being themselves.
We've really come a long way and I realized I am standing on the shoulders of so many millions of queer people who sacrificed their lives for what we have today.

Trainer Games on Prime Video, January 8th. Watch the trailer on TrainerGames.com.
So
that's where I'm at. Ocho,
there's a video going viral tonight. that the staff wants us to react live to.
Here's Debo Samuels asking his rookie running back teammate, Jakore Krosky-Merritt, to blind rank seventh-round draft picks. Let's take a look at this video.
Got plenty of NFL greats that was drafted in the seventh round. I'm going to have you blind rank.
All right. Shannon Sharp.
Four.
Julian Edelman.
Two. Bo Jackson.
One.
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Three.
Brock Purdy. Five.
He says Shannon Sharp. Four.
What you would have put him at? Three? I should have said three.
I might be.
minimum three. Now that your list is over, is there any name on here that you would exchange? Nah, I'll probably keep it like that.
Yeah.
Who you think I should change on that? He don't know Shannon Sharp. So he said Shannon Sharp should be up higher.
He should minimum be three. Ah, he should be about two for real.
But, you know, you young bug, you don't know too much. You hear me?
At Bill Young, huh? You heard me? Hold on.
Are you based it on what could have been or what actually was because of all those guys on the list only one got a gold jacket you you want you didn't hear what i just said huh yeah okay
don't know huh he don't know yeah
if he knew he just he knows the name shannon sharp based on the show based on what you've seen on tv but he doesn't understand the game what comes behind and with that name he'd either know because there's no way as soon as they said your name it should have been been first
uh
but oh joe even when i came in the league when you came in league at 24 at 20 i mean well hell i had been in the league three years at 24. uh
what i'm saying hold on bro i'm just like do you not know anything i mean do you like football did you not follow the game of football he's a young
oh joe he 24
Nah,
you 24 don't mean you followed the game back then. You don't do that.
That's what I'm saying.
Everybody,
all of them not like that. Nah.
I was like,
that man got Fitzmagic in front of me.
I was like, damn.
Oh, man.
Hey, you know, matter of fact, you know, Fitzpatrick got here too. Matter of he did the, didn't he do the game tonight?
I don't know.
I didn't see. I didn't see.
I don't. Man, I don't watch the pre- I don't watch half.
That's my time to go take the dogs out, let them handle their business, get anything, you know, take the trash out because the trash is coming to collect the trash tomorrow.
That's my time to do all that. I don't watch nothing.
When I turn the TV on, no child to watch a Thursday night game, they're kicking the ball off. Yeah, okay, I got you, I got you.
I mean, just it's so funny, you know, I'm playing a flag football game tomorrow where I won't embarrass us.
I will put on for nightcap to make sure we have something to talk about. I should have scored maybe five, six, seven touchdowns.
Oh, for the flying football? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm playing for a while.
How many of you score?
Probably five, eight, five to eight, five to eight, because you know, I don't get the opportunity. This is my, this is my Super Bowl.
This is basically my Super Bowl.
I always talk about do things I've never done before, and so I have to pretend like I'm back in the league. And I might be auditioning for another job next year.
You never know.
You never know.
Okay, for another job doing what?
Getting an opportunity to play in the again.
Fitzpatrick is the quarterback on another team. That's why I said that.
I'm wondering if he's...
Who is your quarterback?
Diana. Diana, hold on.
Hold on. I'm going to tell you right now.
I just had it right here in front of me.
She's really good, flag football player.
Oh, okay.
So she plays flag football. Yeah, Diana Florida.
Okay, okay. Okay.
destroying, you know, destroying, destroying is on my team, and uh, speedy, oh, yeah, yeah, he used to be the guy, he was a kicker for Central Florida, right?
Yeah, he got, yeah, he produced a lot of content.
Yeah, I got, I got a matter of fact, you know, hey, you know, Vike, you watch Eminem, of course, you watch Emma Ma, yeah, yeah, Michael Venom Page is on the other team, okay, you know, that I'm thinking about like before I beat James Harrison ass, I'm thinking about a tune-up with Michael Venom Page.
What you think?
Yeah, I think that'd be good, yeah, yeah. So, lump him up first, and then
deal with Debo.
Yeah. How you think that's going to go?
Not good for you.
That's how I think it's going to go.
That's how I think it's going to go.
But no,
if you say seventh round draft picks, if you want to say what could have been who's the best athlete, well, that's Bo. Bo gonna win it.
But they said, who's the best seventh round athlete
uh
uh i mean the best seventh round nfl player of the group that he listed now there might be somebody that's in the seventh round
but boy yeah i don't know i like my i like my chances yeah i like wild position i i like him too if you know your history
the history of the game and you know you're you're young puff he's a young puff he's a young pup and doesn't understand he has debo talk about where should i have him rank
well debo should have said, Well, if you don't know where you should have it ranked, I can't help you. Yeah,
I can't help you.
I don't know, like I said, I don't know a whole lot of self-rounders that's in the hall.
Brady's in the sixth, Brady's gonna be, and I like I said, I don't know,
but it ain't very many seventh rounders that's come in the NFL that's had a better career than what I had.
I'm not saying, like I said, I don't know all of them Mocho, but there ain't been many
because the draft used to be, you know, 20 rounds. So I'm sure
if we go back to the 40s and 50s and 60s and 70s, you might find one. But it ain't many.
It ain't dang on that list.
What a batchup we got, y'all. This is that classic HBCU vibe.
Non-stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit.
Chance echo, drum beat, everybody showing that school pride.

Trainer Games on Prime Video, January 8th. Watch the trailer on TrainerGames.com.
Oh, Joe, just days after his most embarrassing moment of the season, Chief pass rusher Chris Jones addressed why he didn't give maximum effort on the Jaguars' game-winning touchdown.
Jones says, it's a teaching point for me. A little adversity, I think, I can't think the play is over.
It's a learning lesson. I thought it was over.
I thought we had him down.
So I kind of stopped and was about to celebrate. Then I realized he wasn't down.
Chris Jones is one of the core leaders of the Chief, and to see him take a playoff in that situation doesn't seem real.
It does sum up, but for me, I thought they were going to let him score. That's what I would have done, Ocho.
That way, hey, let them score right now. I need maximum time, but I think it caught him off guard that they was passing the ball instead of running it.
So I may, maybe, maybe CJ, and I'm like, this is me thinking for him
because it's hard for me to believe that
I saw it in real time. I was like, damn, CJ.
But I thought that, and maybe they did think that they were going to run the ball. And I think they were a little surprised that the Chiefs passed the ball.
But in a situation like that,
you can't assume. He knows that.
I mean, he knew that, but now he really knows that. And, you know, obviously Andy had to talk, Red had to talk to him.
It's just not a good look. And he knows that you're talking about one of the premier deep tackles, a three-time Super Bowl champ,
a multiple-time all-pro player.
He's more than likely going to be the all-pro defensive tackle of the 2020s.
Can't have that on your resume.
Like you said, it's a teachable moment.
I don't think we'll have that issue with CJ again.
Yeah. I mean, listen,
you think about how many 65 snaps. I'm not sure how many play on defense.
All of them, all of them aren't 100% effort, but you can't look like you did on that play.
No. Can't look like you played.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There's a microscope on you being who you are. Aaron Donald's no longer playing, so you are considered widely as the best defensive tackle in the game.
So there's a camera always on you from every goddamn angle.
You're absolutely right. Jones also said his social media accounts weren't deactivated as an attempt to avoid criticism.
Oh, Joe, back in your day, we didn't really have to deal with social media 24-7, the Twitter,
you know, viral takes.
Do you think athletes in today's game face more criticism than they did in years past? Well, absolutely. Absolutely.
Because not only you have to deal with the media, you have to deal with the fans as well. Now, before the fans, the fans had no way of having access to you.
You didn't have to see it.
You just have to hear it either on radio or on TV.
Now, you deal with much more, way more criticism, and they critique you way more when you don't play well or things don't happen or or you get hit hard or or you fumble the ball you got to deal with it from everybody and all the social media so you have to have thick skin huh you have to have thick skin especially to be a player in this era especially to be a great player in this era it has to go on one end out the other you have to be able to ignore it at times you have to be able to laugh at yourself and laugh at your mistakes in order to continue to function you know at a high level in whatever respect of craft it is you're doing just not football in general you know and whether it be you know you're a rapper or you you you you you play you play football you play tennis you it's it's everything is everywhere now you know you you you become a meme and sometimes you got you got to take take the jokes for what they are and you have to laugh at yourself and pick yourself up dust yourself off and just go again yeah there's definitely there's no question about it Everybody that has a phone and have a social media account, they're a former NFL, NBA, MLB player, their former coach, They're a former general manager.
They're a former VP.
So now everybody has an opinion and you can see their opinion show up in real time.
You're absolutely right, Ocho, with the media. You're not getting away with anything.
There was a time that the media would see a player doing something
and it would never make the news. It would never make the papers.
That ain't happening now. No.
It's not happening.
If they see you do something, it's getting reported because everybody wants to be first. Everybody wants to break the story.
It's like it's going to get out anyway. Right.
So let me be the first to get it. So there is no longer that bond that used to be between the great players and the reporters.
That's over. That's long.
That's over. And now everybody has a camera.
So you can't do, even if you wanted to get away with something for the most part, it's hard to get away with stuff now. Right.
Because just think about it. Jordan going out the night before and playing and playing and gambling.
Boy, that was going to be on somebody's look at Michael Jordan before he played in the Knicks.
This Michael Jordan
at the blackjack table, y'all.
What's going on? Yeah. Camera's everywhere too.
Now, everywhere.
The funny thing, knowing Jordan and how he was, his mannerisms, his persona in general, man, he wouldn't give to you. Know what? Oh, absolutely.
Why do you think you don't see his ass out now?
Well, he really can't be out.
He couldn't be out.
Jordan hadn't been able to
be
mike jordan since he was at umc yeah
the moment he hit the league it was a rap and did that it was over right yeah and willie and when he got those red and black shoes it was good night irene yeah it was a wrap it was a wrap yeah
think about it ocho he could he's really Michael Jackson. They really never been able to enjoy.
I mean, you got to write the whole movie theater. You want to go go out to a movie?
You got to write the whole theater out.
You want to take this kid's skate? You got to write the whole skating rink out. I couldn't live like that.
It would be hard.
Everything is on a microscope. Just imagine
how everything looks so big on the microscope. That's how you look in the public lives.
Now, that I don't mind. I don't care.
I'm kidding about the microscope because what you see is what you get.
What you see is what you get.
I don't play a character. This is just me.
But the whole not being able to go anywhere, I am too sociable.
I love conversing with people.
I love seeing people and hugging and saying. You wouldn't be that way if you was that.
You don't think that.
Boy, you can't be. Boy, you couldn't be like that with that kind of money.
Boy, people will get you. Oh, you talk about the money, the money-wise.
Okay, okay. Yeah.
What person you know that popular don't have money?
Well, hold on, hold on, hold on. I got money now.
What you saying? Not like that.
Okay, okay.
They uh, buddy, chop your head off.
I got a question. What? What can Michael Jordan LeBron do
that I can't do?
Go to the mall.
They can't do that.
We just talked about it, man. What you can't do,
you can't go.
But that's what you have to be able to do. If you're a Jay-Z, where Jay-Z gonna go?
Where Beyonce gonna go? Where Taylor Swift gonna go? You think Taylor Swift can call up her girlfriend? Girl, let's go to the mall. Girl, let's go get us a drink.
Where they going?
Yeah, I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it.
I've always been been accessible i don't care how big i get which is probably why god would never bless me with that type of with that type of wealth because he know damn well i'm gonna be at the mall he know damn well i'm gonna be at the mcdonald's drive-thru he knows damn well i'm gonna be at every soccer game i can get to it's not happening he knows damn well i'm gonna still be on my grandma porch in liberty city and have everybody driving around to see if i'm sitting out there i'm not i i i can't i can't i mean you might be you might be out there but you're gonna have security and then you're gonna be up in a box you ain't gonna be in the you ain't gonna be in the stands
It ain't the same, huh?
When you go to a sporting event, especially. You're not the same.
You look at that through the prison that you're the same. You're not the same.
You can still have some of the same friends and y'all, but they come to you. Right.
They go someplace, they take the whole island over. You see, most of the time, you see them, where do you see him at? On the yacht.
When you see Jay-Z, how many security you see with him?
How many in that detail, detail, that security detail? When you see Mike,
damn.
That's your life now, Ocho. That is your life.
It's private jets. It ain't no more spirit.
It ain't no more in the airports. It's not anymore that.
Whoa, so you're telling me if I reach that type of wealth, I can't fly spirit no more? You're not flying that. That sounds good, but you're not signing that.
You're not going to be worth a billion dollars, five billion dollars, ten billion, thirty billion dollars and fly that. You're not.
That's just like you don't buy the same, you buy Chrome heart.
You but you see what you spend your money on, and I guarantee you, when you were younger, you like, ain't no way I spent this much money for a car.
Wait a minute, I didn't buy Chrome Hearts, that was a gift for my baby.
You, hey, so everything that you got is a gift from your baby.
Them watches, that jewelry, that Cuban, that house you got, all that gifts. Oh, nah, nah, nah, exactly.
You see, you see how you move accordingly to the
the resources? So just imagine. I gave you two.
You worth $2 billion.
Which means.
Okay, let's reset. Let's hypothetically speaking.
Okay, Ocho, you worth $2 billion. Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay. So tell me what you think I'm not going to do.
You're not walking in a regular airport. You're going to fly private because you have the kind of means to fly private.
And
because you're not going to run, Ocho, you're not gonna run the risk, you're a high-value target, yeah.
And I know why you think everybody is your friend when you get that kind of money, you build up a lot of enemies, also. Damn, I got a you think I got enemies right now, you think hell yeah,
absolutely, and the more money you get, the more
the more you get,
the more
dissension, dislike, jealousy, envy.
But, but along with it,
I'm a likable person. You could ask anybody in the world.
What biggest say, more money, more problems. He didn't say more.
He didn't say more money, more friends. More money, more problems.
You're right about that. You're right, but I just don't understand how anybody could not like me.
I want you to get a billion. So that's the only way I'm going to get my 5,900 back.
Huh? That's the only way I'm going to get my 5,900 back if you get a billion.
Not really, I get to you now. But I told you, as long as I owe you, you'll never go broke.
Well,
I just see it.
It's better suited to my hands as opposed to yours. So, you draw an interest on my money.
I ain't drawing interest on your money, but I just got your best interest.
You see how that works? I can show you that $5,900, man. I got you.
I got you. I got a few bills I need to pay.
What you need to pay? Ain't no $5,900, though. Hey, I can loan you some if you need it.
Oh, you're gonna loan.
So, you owe me, but you willing to loan me money. You're going to loan me my money.
Chad, how that makes sense?
Chad, this man just told me he owe me money, but he gonna loan me my money.
Listen, I ain't gonna loan you the money out of what I owe you.
I'm gonna loan you some money out of. Oh, you will pay me and then loan me extra.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, okay, okay.
No, I'm good.
Yeah, but I think, look,
I think everybody, I think everybody in iChat understands the level of scrutiny that these athletes face today.
The older athletes
didn't have to worry about that. They didn't have to worry about that.
They didn't have to worry about their business being, because if somebody wanted to tear your business, where were they going?
Oh, oh, he
recording somebody's phone call.
Having somebody having cameras, you know, coming in and out.
i'm seeing a lot of that lately i'm seeing a lot of that lately and not not not sports blade in general but i thought that was a federal offense i thought that was a felony and and recording someone it all depends on what state you're in oh okay california yeah they tell you they tear you up with that
you can't record uh uh now a call
now you have No, no, no, no leg to stand on in a public setting for privacy. You can't be out the the park and talk about, man, don't film me.
Nah,
you can't be in the airport talking about don't film me.
You do have a level of privacy in your own home. Okay.
You do have a level, like some states, it only matters that the person that's taping you, recording you, know that that's happening.
Other than that,
so it all depends on the state. It varies from state to state.
But this level of
criticism and scrutiny that guys,
Serena and the women's athletes and the men athletes today,
yeah,
it's not even close.
Even Mike said it. Mike said he don't know how he would be able to function with this social media.
No.
Shadur Sanders says he's excited for other rookies who have played and been playing through them. Let's take a listen to what Shadur had to say.
Anytime
players, you know, that I came in with and that I spent a lot of time with, they get moved up and they able to have a vital role in this offense and this piece, I get extremely excited for.
And I'm, you know,
I'm playing through them. You know what I mean? I'm excited just as them every time they get out there and run around and everything.
Because
it's just amazing that, you know, you start somewhere and then you're able to evolve and get to a different level.
go out there and actually execute it.
Just like Dylan, like whenever he got moved up to QB1, I'm like, you know, that's limp, bro. You got to make sure you handle everything the right way and, you know, just continue being him.
So like for me, overall, I'm just happy. I'm excited that everybody is living their dreams, you know, and I'm living my dream also.
Come every day and be able to work.
That's dope. That's dope.
I like that. That's dope.
That's dope because I got that same feeling. I got that same feeling.
Now, the circumstances are a little different.
I was a second round pick, you know, and I went in and TJ was there.
We were both rookies and and and watching tj get his shine because he learned some of the things a little bit before me so he got an opportunity to get in there and do some things a little different you know it might not have been the game but just seeing practice and i was excited i was living vicariously through him because oh my goodness you know made it to the league we done left oregon state and boy you had that shine and boy you just beat the starting db so i'm hype So to see him get the opportunity to be in there and just get his feet wet with the ones was awesome for me.
And it took took me a little longer to get myself in a groove before i got my opportunity with the ones you know it's especially in practice before i before i saw the light of day in an actual game so i i get exactly where he's coming from so to go to go to war to be in meetings to see all the work you put in turn into fruition live on game days at one o'clock is a wonderful sight to see and it's easy to be happy for someone especially a competitor that you're competing with for a starting spot yeah that, but you know, he worked out with Cam Ward.
So he has a relationship and you know, the banter that they had going back and forth. So I'm sure he's extremely excited.
Dylan is there, although they play the same position.
They're like, hey, bro, you get an opportunity to go in and do your thing. Yeah.
You know, you root, you know, you root for you guys that, you know, I want to see you do well. I don't want to see you fail.
I don't,
I don't want anything to happen to Dylan. But if I have to go in there, if that's how I got my start, that's how I got my start.
Right.
and i i just love his attitude uh i i just love the way that hey i get to live my dream i still get to come to work hey as long as as long as they tell me i got a helmet yeah and i get to put some cleats on good
my key work
as long as i can point to my code in at that gate and it slide open
i'm good yeah i'm good um yes yeah i'm yeah he wants to start he wants to play who doesn't want to who doesn't that's any competitor, Uncle. Yeah, that's what you shouldn't want to do.
You don't want to play. You shouldn't be playing at the highest level in general.
Absolutely. Yeah.
I mean, at first, Ocho, like, man, I made a team. I'm an NFL.
Yeah. But then you started looking around.
You're like, hold on. Man, I ain't never sat the bench.
Yeah. Yeah.
Man, I'm playing special teams.
I'm taking all the reps that the starters don't want to take. Basically.
Basically.
Ah, nah, hell nah. This got to change.
And so, but
like I said, I'm excited. I'm happy for him.
Yeah. That he understands that, look, it's not going the way I envisioned it.
I thought I was going to, look, started with the draft.
For me, Ocho, once the draft happened the way it happened for him, it happened to me the same way. I was like, man, ain't nothing.
Ain't no Gibbons now.
What I thought I was going to get drafted, how I thought I was going to get drafted. So what makes me think now that I got drafted in self-grounded?
I'm going to go to a team and I'm going to be able to play right away. All right, listen,
you understand the game. You saw the game they were playing at the draft.
So you understand the game that they're playing now. Nothing has changed.
Nope.
Nothing can change, but what they are waiting on you to do, they're waiting on you to fold. They're waiting on you to say something crazy.
And then they're going to talk about, see, that's why, that's why, because they used to know where, you know, he said, you know, he didn't want to go to Baltimore and sit and blah, blah, blah.
See, that's why.
You should,
look, everybody, look, from me, you, Ocho, we happy. I don't care where I went.
I just wanted to get somebody draft me. Give me an opportunity to play.
I don't care if they had 12 tight ends.
I don't care if they had 15 receivers. Guess what? They got 16 now.
Yeah, absolutely.
And that's the way, but that's him.
You know, I had for the longest time, Ocho, I was like, man,
I wouldn't have did it like that. Right.
Somebody wouldn't have done it how I did it.
So
all I know is like, when I speak, I'm talking about like
when it comes to winning and trying to keep the locker room together,
there's certain things that we family. And we family, there's a lot, man, I ain't know he like his brother.
I ain't know his sister. They ain't talk.
Yeah, because that's family.
They keep it in-house. I look at us, the the football team, as a family.
Whatever dissension that we have, Ocho,
whatever we have going on, right? Let's keep it in the house. We can work it out.
Yeah, absolutely. And that way, we can control the narrative.
We can control the story.
Once they get out, Ocho, they're going to write what they want to write now.
I got the pen.
Ocho,
they tell me until the lions have thumbs,
every every hunter will be glorified.
He writing the story.
Until the lions have thumbs, every hunter. Boy, that's a bar.
Hey, that's a bar.
Hey,
ain't got no penny pad in this goddamn hotel here in goddamn London, boy. Until the lion have thumbs.
Wait, yes, they do. Hold on.
Well, stop, stop playing, boy. Well, that's a good one now.
I remember it too. Until the lion has thumbs,
the hunter will always write the story.
The hunter will always be glorified. Oh, glorified.
Okay, okay. Because he's actually writing the story.
Boy, I'm going to use that in my next argument.
Hey, listen, it probably had nothing to do with the situation. But when I use it, if I can just get it to think for a minute and stop, that means I won.
Oh, Joe, the Brian Browns are currently paying paying eight QBs. They're paying Deshaun Watson $35.9 million.
They're paying Jameis Winston $2.2 million. Dylan Gabriel, $1.1 million.
Joe Flacco, $999,000. Shadur Sanders, $955,000.
Bailey Zappi, $315,000. Dorian Thompson Robinson, $171,000.
Kenny Pickett,
they paid him out of the front pocket, $8,000.
Hey, listen.
That's light. That's light.
That's light. The only thing on there
that
kind of would hurt is Deshaun not being able to be out there and play and contribute, making that kind of money.
Things didn't go well. I'm curious to see what's going to happen next year when he is healthy and he's able to come back and contribute.
What happened to that starting job? I'm sure because his salary is so high and he commands so much
of that.
Damn, what do you call it?
Salary.
I think
he might be the starter next year, you know, especially if he's healthy.
I just,
that's
35? 36 million, 35.9.
Hey, boy.
Oh, Joe, we got some breaking news. Laura,
University of Chicago, has announced that Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt has passed away at the age of 106.
March Madness, never going to be the same. You know, every year when the team make it, you know, she was there in a wheelchair, sister Jean.
And boy, that's a life. Yeah.
Yeah. That is a life.
Hey, 106. But that's a blessing, boy.
Yeah.
Do you know how much you've seen over a lifetime to live 100 years?
100?
Man.
Would you want to live that long,
only if I'm healthy and I'm in my right mind. I don't want to be a burden to no one.
If I become a burden, no. Right, right, right.
No, I don't want to be a burden. You know what?
I would love, I would love, because of what I know now and as amazed that I am at society and in the era of technology and as advanced as it is, I would love to see what it's like 50, 60 years from now.
I would love to be here. Maybe
also with my health and being in the right state of mind, I would love that. Yeah.
If I'm a bird,
my kids promise me, don't put me in a home. Don't you put me in a home.
And I know, I know my kids, some of my kids might be watching right now. Y'all put your daddy in the home, I tell you what, I'm going to come down.
I'm going to come down here and I'm going to haunt you.
I'm going to haunt you as a goat. Yeah.
I don't want to be,
you know,
I don't want to be hooked up to no machines. Let me go.
Hey, your dad,
hey, your dad had a great life. Your brother, you know,
I've already given everybody instructions, so they know what to do. But no,
I don't want to be a burden. Right.
I never want to be a burden. And
I want my kids to live their life and not have to worry about dad and can't live their life. Your dad lived his life.
Y'all know what to do.
You've been instructed. You know what to do.
But I want to live as long as I can do for myself, Ocho. I'm in my right mind and I'm not a burden.
Yeah, I like it. I like it.
I don't do good as a burden.
I'm irritable.
I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I just am. I'm not a guy that does well hurt.
When I'm injured and stuff like that, I don't do well. That's why, man, Ocho, I had surgery on my hip.
Yeah.
I got there that morning. I got home at 1.30.
Two o'clock, I was in the driveway walking with my walker.
I just, hey, hold on, doing everything you're not supposed to be doing, basically. Hey, I got, hey, I got to, hey.
I'm going to, I'm going to get, I'm going to, I'm going to speed up this recovery time. That's what I'm going to do.
I'm not going to be dependent.
I hate depending on people, Ocho.
Especially, you know, like, I understand, but I don't, I don't want to be a bird. I don't like, well, can you do this for me? I hate that.
I hate it. So
I don't know.
But no, I don't.
So.
Oh, that's crazy. As long as I got my right mind, Ocho.
Everybody that, my grandmothers, all my grand, my grandparents, they had all their right minds.
My grandmother was 80, 89 years of age, and she had a right mind. And when my great-grandma was 92, she had a right mind.
So as long as I'm in my right mind and I'm not a burden, no-choke, and I can do for myself,
Shay want to hold on. But the moment that happens.
That's it. Jamar Chase gives the first comments about the Bengals acquiring veteran quarterback Joe Flacco.
When asked how he learned about the trade, Chase, T.
Higgins initially told him, and Zach Taylor confirmed the news. Jamar says he appreciates the organization trying to make this work amid a trying season.
Oh, Joe, with Flacco finally getting a chance to work with elite weapons, what do you see for the Bengals?
Well, what I see for the Bengal, with now Flacco getting elite weapons, weapons he's never had before. And I look at some of the numbers.
I look at some of the numbers today based on some of the games that Flacco has played throughout his career. And he's never thrown anything like this.
I say,
i say flacco might throw for 400.
who they play the packers
how you gonna throw for 400 he gonna have no time
again you heard what i said
because the strength of the packers defense is up front i do understand that the weakness of your offense is up up front
but that back end is vulnerable
It's vulnerable now.
Yeah,
I'm just all honesty, honestly, I don't know what to expect.
I don't know what to expect because I saw it up close in person, obviously, with Jake Browning and him running for his life for that offensive line he had to deal with, playing against Aiden Hutchinson and those young fellas.
Hoping, hoping, pride in itself, playing for the name on the back of that jersey.
There's a better showing.
There's a better showing from us up front and
having some type of pride about yourself and your game because that shit you're putting out is on film and people get to see that.
You know, you do what you can to keep goddamn Joe Flacco upright because
you know what he can do when he's able to have time and throw the ball.
And if we're going to have a chance offensively to even compete, forget, talk about winning, compete week to week, we got to be able to block.
I'm playing 22 man for two seconds.
I'm playing 22 man because I ain't worried about Flacco going nowhere. Yeah, oh, yeah, that's true.
That's fine. That's fine.
Ocho, the rant everyone has been talking about. Micah Irving went off on Facts Over Feelings podcast for saying Deion Sanders wouldn't be able to cover these current NFL receivers.
Ocho, let's take a listen to what they had to say.
The receivers from back then might not be prime, though. These guys that he played against weren't that fast, bro.
They were stronger, but they weren't that fast. These guys, no.
I'd love to see him. I would have loved to see him play against Chad in his prime.
I would have loved to see him play against him. Oh, no, he's
Jefferson right now in the day. You know, all these different guys.
I would love to see him cover Tyree.
If Prime is who we think he is, are you
shitting me? We are the two most accomplished receivers in the history of this game.
When you're talking about the most important things, championships, and your stupid ass talking about running fast like people weren't running fast back then. Are you shitting me?
What the hell are you talking about?
I don't even know your name and I certainly don't know your game I don't see you every year with a gold jacket in that hall of fame room so who the are you to talk about what oh oh oh oh Deion Sanders couldn't cover these guys today do you really know what you talking about you think there were not fast guys in the league when I played you think You think Tyreek Hill can outrun an Olympian like bullet Bob Hayes who played before me?
You mugs get to run around and play
707 touch football. We had pain in our game and y'all don't even know shit about pain.
Football is not about running fast. It's not about speed.
It's about getting the job done.
It's about getting the job done.
Hey, hey, look. Hey, herb, funny, boy.
Yeah, look here. Herb, funny.
Erb gonna tell it like it is, man. And obviously back then,
I think back then, players were fast. Players played fast.
But Ron Brown got a gold medal. Sam Gratty got a gold medal.
James Jett got a gold medal.
I want to know the current player that's currently playing right now that got a gold medal.
Because all those guys, Sam Gratty won the silver medal in the Olympics in 84.
Tyre played against him. Ron Brown was on the relay team.
James Jett ran alternate leg in the qualifying on the 19 Barcelona team in the Olympics. Yeah.
So I want to know which one of you guys think faster than Sam Gratty, faster than Ron Brown, faster than James Jett.
The boy was moving, huh?
He played. Y'all say Randy Moss was fast? He played against Randy Moss.
Okay.
Ooh, who?
And people, I don't think,
hey, hey, well, see, I've seen, I saw it up close in person. Well, that shit was different, boy.
Yeah. Lord, I was in the league with those guys I'm talking about was in the league.
Yes. Yeah.
Yes.
You have to realize there are certain players. Time is a player that could have played in there in the era because he was so extraordinary.
Yeah.
He was extraordinary. But he wasn't covering me, though.
But go ahead. I hate it.
You have to understand. See, people just look at time and they say he's just speed.
Time
could sound. He studied a lot of tape.
He gonna make you play to your weakness. He gonna play to his strengths.
and force you to your weakness. Yeah.
Yeah.
Y'all need to go see the play when Rocket Ismail. He picked off a deep post for Rocket Ismail.
They threw it. Off his head.
The one off his head. And took it and put the ball up in the air.
Yeah.
Coming back the other way with it.
Like I said, I think the thing is, look,
man, these guys, they don't realize like Daryl Green. Y'all do realize like Daryl Green, like they didn't keep track of 40 times like they do now, Ocho.
That was way back then.
The combine really didn't start kicking off until the late 80s. Right.
That's when the combine, because back then they had regional combines, Ocho.
If you was in the South, you went to a combine in the South. If you was in the West, you went to a combine in the West.
That's how it was.
It wasn't centralized like it is now.
But Daryl Green, you know, Daryl Green can win.
Rod ran tried to qualify for the Olympics.
He ran against Greg Foster.
Boy, it was more.
Look, look, and that's not a knock on these guys right here because these guys are phenomenal and they're phenomenal. But you can't discount just because what you see and you didn't see guys back then
and just try to summarily discount them. So I guess based on that, Reggie White couldn't play back, couldn't play now.
LT couldn't play now. Derek Thomas couldn't play now.
Bruce Smith couldn't play now. So I'm trying to figure out who could play in that era.
So I guess, you know, John L. Way and Dan Marino, those guys couldn't play in this era.
Yeah.
Listen, all those defensive ends you just named right now. Lauren Taylor probably won the last two weeks in this league.
One lady won the last two weeks. But one, either you ain't going to have no check or you're going to be suspended.
One or the other.
One of the other. Yeah, he got bad.
Look here.
Oh, man, he got bad.
I promise you, there was good football played. Granted, the athletes have gotten better.
Technology has gotten better.
Supplementation has gotten better. Diet has gotten better, Ocho.
Training has gotten better.
Okay.
Yeah. But you got to think about what these guys were working with.
So that means Deion Sanders was going to have the training, the nutrition, the supplementation that these guys have.
He had none of that doing what he did.
Those guys that you see that I mentioned, Sam Gratty and Ron Brown and James Jett, they're going to have the same nutrition. They're going to have the same coaching.
They're going to have the same
that these guys have now.
Yeah.
Guys.
That's a great hypothetical, too yeah that's why why you think guys why you think guys have gotten faster of course things change yeah but if you give those guys the same nutrition the same training the same hey they got uh uh uh uh
red light therapy and saunas oh cho they got dip tanks they got all that stuff they got all the all the acupuncture and all the other things
how good do you think they could have been
much better much better
Damn. Rams linebacker Jared Verse said he'd be effing furious if Lamar Jackson isn't able to play Sunday.
Verse said Lamar is on his sack bucket list along with Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
Ocho, which opponent did you both circle, the calendar look forward to facing during your time? Only one.
I wanted to say I got a block on either he beat me for a sack or I blocked him and he didn't make the tackle. LT? or lt
lt was hurting when we played him i i think um
matter of fact um you remember remember uh chat chat those of you who are in the chat you remember i made that checklist in 2005 before the season started you remember that
yeah i remember you making a checklist i don't remember who was on it yeah i mean um champ and uh fres smoot and gary i just i i i remember doing that so just that 2005 year i I made a checklist.
I put it in my locker before the season started and I eliminated it. Obviously, with the boxes, check yes and check no.
And you understand how arrogant and cocky this was of me, but I was just confident. I was confident in the work that I put in to be able to pull this off.
So how you let somebody put your name in a locker and tell them, you're not going to stop me if you stop me one time. That's all I had to do.
Just stop me one time in the game.
You get a yes by your name.
And I went through that two time.
Hey, Uncle, I went through that 2005 season, understanding there's nobody that's going to stop nothing I do because of the work I put in, not only in the film room and studying. Training.
Preparing for that season.
Man, I went out there and acted a fool that 2005 season and we're checking everybody off. I think I might have lost.
I can't remember who I lost to, but
daddy, that was that was some very arrogant, arrogant shit I did.
But hey,
it's hard to overlap eras. Things were different
back then than there is now.
Just enjoy. All you got to do is just enjoy what you're seeing.
It's not, because we don't know. It's easy to say.
We don't know.
Oh, Joe, it's time we're going to get out of here on this one. It's time for our final segment of the evening.
It's time for Q and A.
You said our final segment of the evening, it's six in the morning. Oh, my bad.
It's my final segment for this evening. Your Your final segment in the morning.
Yeah, I'll get rid of this. Howard Bell say, I think it's fair to say Jackson Dart outplayed Jalen tonight.
I don't know the Eagles' offense just struggling. Sarianni might need to take over the play calling.
Yeah, he outplayed him. You know, he made more plays with his legs, made a big-time throw.
But hey, it happens.
Question is.
Eagles, do they bounce back? We'll see in 10 days, Ocho. Yeah.
Damn, 10.
Yeah, because they play Thursday, so they don't play until next Sunday. Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, yeah, you're right. You're right, you're right, okay.
Cool Sharky. Eagle fans clown Cowboys for beating an 0-4 team, and Eagles immediately follow that by losing to a 1-4 team.
But hey, it's one loss.
He laughing. Go ahead.
Yo, Dutch.
To me, Steph shouldn't be in the top 10 before Kobe. So my question to you is, do you think Kobe belongs in the top 10? If so, who you take it out? Ralph Buff Pats Nation?
So hard is some great players.
Ron,
Jordan, Karoon, Kareem,
Magic.
They got room service.
Yeah.
Duncan.
Wilt.
Bird.
Hojo.
You don't play basketball?
I used to. I know I scored 52 in high school.
It's close, man.
It's really close.
I don't understand. Because here's the thing.
This is what I don't get.
Half the time when you say championships, they say championship is a team goal. So we disregard Cat championships unless it's for a player that we like.
And then we count championships.
They always move the goal coach, depending on who. They do.
I'm trying to say, they tell me, oh, that's a team goal.
So what are we going to use?
So tell me the metric that we're using.
Is it, okay, obviously, I think you ought to factor in everything. You factor in championships, all NBA selections, all-star selection, MVPs, finals, MVPs,
you know, things like that. I think there should be five metrics.
You just can't say, well, he won the most championships. Well, then that would be Bill Russell.
Right.
Okay, points. Where are you ranking points? Where do you rank in rebounds? Where do you rank in assists? I think there are so many variables.
But for me, I think there are like seven guys. I think
LeBron, Jordan, Kareem,
Magic, Duncan, Wilt,
Bird, for me, I think they're like,
they got to be in the top 10.
Now that last three, last three for me, probably come down to like
four players: Elijah Wan, Shaq, Kobe, and Steph.
Damn,
damn, huh?
And if you ask like avid basketball enthusiasts, their top 10,
I think your first five, six, or seven will probably be the same as everybody else.
Maybe just a different order. But when it's all done,
but when it's all said and done, what are we going to do with Jokic?
Oof.
Who are you taking? I'm not done yet.
Yokic get another MVP.
I mean, another finals MVP. Another irregular season.
I mean,
huh? Yeah, for sure. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Greatest big man of all time or no?
Nah, I mean, for me.
See, I don't think Kareem get the credit he deserved. It's hard because everybody always overlooks Kareem.
Yeah.
I mean, 19 all-stars, six MVPs.
Thank you. Six.
Six.
Three with the Bucs, three with the Lakers.
Six championships.
19 all-star selections. I think he was like a 13 or 14-time all-defensive selection.
He once held the record most points for a career.
See, people don't realize how good Kareem was when he was at Milwaukee and when he first got to LA because he kind of took a back seat when Magic came.
But go back, look up Kareem's stats back when he got with the Bucs, and you tell me what you think. 33 and 16 for a season.
A season.
Yeah, he averaged 33 and 16 for a season.
People just,
let me tell you why people discount bigs. Because they say they need a guard to get on the ball.
If you go back and look, most people,
tops
are forwards and guards. Right.
Because Will need nobody to get them the ball.
Big, like, well, if Magic didn't get Kareem, or Magic or Oscar didn't get Kareem the ball, well, if this guy didn't get Shaq the ball, or if this guy didn't get this guy the ball, be it Will or Mr.
Russell. Right.
So it normally goes to.
Okay, understand.
I got you. I got you.
I got you. Oh, Joe, Oreo Hulam said, free A.J.
Brown, man, shaking my head.
Oh, Jason Zeldarf and Dart we trust. Dart is the man.
Shadur who, I love you, Unc, but we coming for your Broncos. The Bingles still suck.
Oh,
we play, I guess we play the Giants. Play the Broncos, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. Because we got the, uh, we just played the Eagles.
They got the Cowboys,
got the Cowboys and the Giants, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna see what y'all see.
We're gonna see what y'all put down. worry about the jets sunday
look at you i just said he brought that up ocho yeah i've been to bars and uh and chad
jody okay okay jody aka baby boy sinko are the eagles saquan suffering from madden cover curse or super bowl hangover no because i just don't think i don't think saquan getting 10 carries i mean 12 carries gonna help anything ocho no
Yeah, Madden curse ain't got nothing to do with that at all.
Nothing.
And we don't believe in superstition.
Player four
player is hurt
equals that cry, she goes cry.
Boyd, cowboy fans.
Anthony Spears say, Call Gilly the kid. He was in his feelings
cutting that live early.
Eddie Sal
Gatto. Let's go, Big Blue.
Stop playing with my Giants, man.
Watch out. Your Broncos next.
That goddamn Jackson Dart and the scatterbow is exciting. I'm talking about legit exciting for it to be this damn early.
Mac Tube University said Russell Wilson got booed as soon as he put that helmet on. Really? I'm not surprised.
Yeah, I'm not surprised, Ocho. Damn.
Ocho, you know how it is.
Jackson Dart is captured the Giants. They see hope in him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bria Carter said, I don't know which loss is worth. The Phillies losing the bottom of the 11th on a throwing error to end their season or the Eagles losing to a division rival in a blowout.
The Phillies losing on that.
Because your season's over.
The Eagles get another chance to redeem themselves when the Giants come to,
what do you call it? I forget the name of the stadium. But
the Phillies, it's over.
Ray Cleves said Eagles' offensive coordinator shouldn't even be allowed to ride the bus home.
Damn, I guess y'all out on Petulah, huh? Patrick Rendon said, guys, I'm not sure why Freedom Pigeons always have a Super Bowl hangover. Freedom.
Man, they call it Eagles Pigeons, Ocho.
But Scat and Dart, definitely going to save Brian Dayball's job.
Hey, he say, he see, hey, Jackson Dart saving saving the ball's ass because he was on the hot seat boy for sure uh
eagle fan the second half implosion i was dreading
john n330 34 17 i know you effort line giants put belt to you know what tonight yeah cd scale say what's up mr sharp What is your favorite food to eat when training?
I look forward to meeting you guys on the tour next year. I'm a huge fan.
Love.
I'm chicken.
If you tell me, I can only eat one protein for the rest of my life, it's gonna be chicken.
I could deal with that. Chicken or fish, I could do that.
No, I don't like no fish. I mean, I like fish, yo.
Joe, but fish ain't a food that you can warm up. Fish stink your whole house up,
have your whole house. People come and be like, Man, what is that? What is that? Yeah, especially believe it out.
Uh, Fans, New Jersey, said NFL, O L L O L lose to the Saints four days later beat the Eagles. That's the NFL.
Yeah.
Cameron Mayo as an Eagle fan is looking more like 2023 season, just falling apart earlier in the season.
Independent Aquaman, Packers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles are frauds in 2025. Only the Lions are legit.
Plus, refs should penalize Eagles for offensive procedure or and off sides.
Yeah, yeah.
Wolf had facts. Cam Cam and Jacks won me 10K tonight.
I got you. I got Ocho's debt.
Yeah, break me out. Let me go and get that, bro.
Let me get that 59.
Throw something on the pool for me. Matter of fact, hey, while I'm out here in London,
today's my off day. So Friday, I have all day free, right? Yeah.
I'm going to go to the casino. Not only am I going to win your money back,
I'm going to double it. And I'm going to send you, I'm going to see you by six, five, 10, 16, 5, 10,
I'll send you $12,000.
Look at my man. Gerald Lason said, L.A.
smoking Phillies. New York Giants roasting pigeons.
Tiki Tech Knowledge, Russell Wilson is fried, died, and laid to the side.
Finns, New Jersey, Meg the Stallion, Scatty, Addy, Addy, Addy.
Scat Pat. I got all these crazy names.
I could just imagine. Jackson Dart, he keeping this going.
You already know what it's going to be like, Ocho. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. Dagnante Cobbins, adversity is a stone used to sharpen your blade.
We're going to be all right.
And my crying Ocho voice, fly eagles, fly.
Dave Ricks Jr. said, Uncan Ocho, love what you do.
Kept me laughing through many nights as a trucker. Can you give my wife, Deasia, and my daughters a shout out and say, I love them.
My life is great because they're in it. Absolutely.
Dave Ricks Jr., DeAzia,
your husband, Dave Jr.
Um, he wanted to tell you that he loves you, he loves his wife and his daughters, and his life
is better because you're in it, you completely
like that.
So,
happy marriage, continue,
happy marriage, saucy D say when Shaqari gets back to top form, do you think her and Melissa can have the same dominance Shelly Ann and Elaine had?
Ooh,
Man, they dominated. Shelly Ann won it 8 and 12.
Elaine won at 16 and 21.
That's a long time. They might be out of it.
They got to be there. Ooh.
Hold on. So 24.
So, excuse me. 28.
8, 12, 16, 20.
That's a long time, bro.
That's a long, long time. Shelly Ann, I mean, Shelly Ann is just the greatest woman sprinter ever.
So
the likelihood of we seeing somebody follow that up so soon
is not likely. I'm not saying it can't happen.
But man, tragic feel is so outro. You know, one minute you're here, and the next minute you're like, damn.
You knew who I was excited about.
Remember Marion Jones?
Unk, your camera done went out. Where you went?
Okay, I chat. It's just me and you chat.
Unk is having technical difficulties.
That's okay. But if you can see behind me, it's starting to be daylight.
I'm out here in London. Make sure y'all tune in Saturday.
Saturday, go to my story on Instagram. Go to my story.
Make sure y'all tune in and watch. I should probably score maybe maybe five, six, seven, maybe eight touchdowns.
Nice little flag football game. Have a little fun.
Then I'm going to the Broncos Jets game on Sunday.
I'm going to sit with my pops. My pops.
I'm going to sit with Goodell, you know, exchange some pleasantries, being that we have such a good relationship. I'm probably going to ask him about
letting me get all my fine money back.
Being that everyone could celebrate now. And I think I started that.
So since I started that, I think I should be able to recoup some of my fine money.
Outside of that, that's pretty much it.
Chad, what time is it in the States?
You don't know? Hunk, you back?
Are we still not back yet? But yeah, Chad, that's it. Just make sure y'all tune in Saturday.
And that's pretty much it. Okay.
And look at my Instagrams and it'll tell you what time you get to see me play football again. And it can kind of remind you on how good I actually was because I'm gonna be on full speed.
Like, this for me, this is like a Super Bowl. So, I'm auditioning for a chance.
Oh, yo, can you hear me?
Next year, yeah, what's good, huh?
Oh,
George ain't charged the computer up.
Oh, okay, okay. That's what happened.
Yeah, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it.
Damn, it's only 10 o'clock out there, huh?
Yep.
Damn. Y'all.
Oh, here we go. Oh, True and Infamous 73.
I don't think it's the players offensively. Is there an OC Kevin Petula? He hadn't been able to figure out what to do with the talent he has.
That might be the case. Well, then, I guess Siriana needs to take over the play calling.
David Moses, Giants all day, New Jersey, baby, Super Bowl. Here we come.
Damn.
Super Bowl.
Saucy, one more question. Unk, I think Sydney can 100%
do it, but I think it's going to be double 2028, would be a lot of running, six, 400 meters. More than that, I mean, yeah, you're right.
Qualifying, semifinals, finals.
I thought it's four rounds. Is it three rounds or four rounds?
You got it. You might be right.
You might be, yeah, that's a lot. But it all depends on how much space she has between.
And if I'm her, I want to get the most difficult one out the way first. I want to get the 400 meters out the way.
How much energy you exert?
Well,
you try to pace it, Ocho. You try to burn as little energy as possible.
But
Paulino,
Nasser,
I mean, they're going to be there. Yeah.
They're going to be there.
So.
I think next year, if she does the ultimate championships, I think if I'm her, I try to lower that
the 400 meter, hurdles. I try to dip under 50.
I think she's in, she, she, she's in, she's in condition. She has the, she can do it.
Right. Because you got to think about it, Ocho.
She hadn't run 48.
She's at 47. Ain't no question in my mind.
She can go under 49. She can go under 50.
Put it out there like that Flow Joe record.
Damn.
That's what I do. Nobody's gonna get it.
No time soon. I mean, 1049.
1049.
I mean, until what you call them, I mean, Elaine Thompson Harold was the first woman to go sub-10.6 other than, so she went 1054.
Yeah.
That's still five-tenths, six-tenths.
Do you know how fast that is? Yeah, I do know how fast that is. For a woman?
Absolutely, I know how fast that is.
Platinum A D's. Do you think AJ Trade talks
happens next season if the Eagles keep collapsing this season? And if it make it, don't go far in the playoffs.
Yeah, I can see, look,
would I be surprised even if they went far in the playoffs, they don't do something about this?
Probably.
Probably.
James Tilling has Shellen Dodger's feelings couldn't have ended in a more anticlimactic fashion. Was scared when Pages hit right into the picture.
Pressure, man. Pressure.
He could have easily... Hey.
evergreen shout out to Ocho Lillian.
Emma made it to school with no issues. In fact, she seemed pumped this AM.
I was
shout out. Gloud Bessie.
Go, Cloudboys. Well, we glad Emmy made it to school.
Dr. Frank L.
Bellamy. Okay, guys.
Take your pick. Jodicy, Jagged Edge.
Woo.
That's a good one. I'm going Jodisie.
That's a good one. I'm going Jodisie too, boy.
I like Jagged edge
i do too
can't see it joe uh jabison age uh if ocho gets into the hall you get your you get the jacket until he gives you the 5900 plus let's call it 15 interest on top
well hey i can speed that one up they're not letting my black ass in no goddamn hall that's why i got my own jacket You can't find it, though.
Go ahead and put your hands on Ocho Cuff. He's playing with your muddy heels.
Hey, hey, that's what what you, that's what you don't want. Uncle, you know, my hands are registered, right?
You heard me? So, if I had.
I got something registered, too. Yeah, I'm just saying my hands are registered.
These are lethal weapons. Because in order for me to box, you know, I had to get my hands registered.
So,
once I put these hands on you, it's a live, but I get locked up, and we can't have no nightcap.
Yeah, I got something registered, too.
Although, will you be at the Bronco alumni week seven versus the Giants? Should be a good with Dre Greenlaw possibly back from IR.
Shit, that's next week, ain't it?
Probably not. Bingo should have got Kirk Cousins.
Stop being cheap. Man,
they want the Bingo to have a $55 million quarterback and another $40 million quarterback.
They got to deal with
Mike Brown. They're going do that.
We got the most,
we got the best
quarterback available
at the right price.
Sir underscore Kates, my guys,
I know it's football season, but if I have, I'd have to know your thoughts. On Fred Van Fleet getting injured, can KD and Sangoon carry the Rockets or do they need a reliable point guard?
They need the point guard. They got Thompson.
I I like them. Look, somebody got to get them the ball.
Somebody got to distribute the basketball.
Yeah, we know what Shingoon is. We know what KD is.
And Armin Thompson
is amazing.
I don't even know who the backup point guard is for them.
Fletch, these days, if you do something, the media will have it in the paper before two something. That is absolutely right.
Or, and plus, OJO, you got to realize that tmz people pay for stuff now oh yeah absolutely
uh
ring on mcdonald's worker kaylee ringo is the newest mcdonald's worker
come on
eli can you imagine if ocho played with julio in atlanta
yeah uh kyber sith did the broncos provide the league blueprint for them philadelphia smeagels
no
They'll fix it. They'll get it fixed.
But they're going to throw the ball better than what they're throwing at Ocho. Yeah.
It's a throwing league. It's a throwing league because at the end of the day, you're going to have to throw to make plays.

The Eagles dominate, excuse me, the Eagles got dominated by the Giants, 34 to 17. Scatterbowl, 18 carries, 98 yards, three touchdowns.
Jackson Dart was superb.
He only threw for one touchdown, but he didn't have any turnover. No, he ran for a touchdown.
Excuse me. They scored four combined touchdowns, but he was sensational tonight.
But the Giants did a number on him. They lose to the Saints, but at home, puts up on the Eagles.
So, Ocho, have fun while you're over there.
