Speaker 6 Think you know your breaking point? If you're a woman with weak bones due to osteoporosis after menopause, sadly, you may not.

Speaker 6 Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density within five to seven years after menopause, making bones weaker and more likely to break.

Speaker 6 And after the first fracture, we're five times more likely to break another bone within a year. It could happen from a simple slip or just bending to lift a bag of groceries.

Speaker 6 Don't wait for a breaking point. Visit bonebreakingpoint.com to learn about how osteoporosis medications can reduce the risk of fractures.

Speaker 2 Okay, Nightcap Midseason NFL Awards are here starting tomorrow. We're letting the fans decide who's been that dude halfway through the season.
You can vote on all

Speaker 2 social media platforms by hitting the polls, dropping your picks in the comments, or using hashtag Nightcap Awards.

Speaker 2 We'll be posting categories like MVP, Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, and even early Super Bowl picks.

Speaker 2 Ocho and I will be giving out our own awards: Young Bull of the Year, Still Him Player of the Year. It all starts tomorrow with the winners, will be announced live on Thursday Nightcap,

Speaker 2 this week after the Raiders Broncos game.

Speaker 2 Are we going to actually send any people some awards? Are we having awards actually made?

Speaker 2 Yeah, let's do something.

Speaker 2 I was going to say, boy, this ass know she spent some money. It doesn't cost that much.

Speaker 2 It actually does, Ash. I see you.

Speaker 2 So, all right, Ocho, so we got to come up with our, we got to have our, got to put your fake caps on, and who you want.

Speaker 2 MVP, who's been the offensive, who's been the MVP, offensive defensive player.

Speaker 8 I can listen, I can tell you who my offensive MVP is.

Speaker 2 We'll have it

Speaker 2 Thursday. Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8 Offensively, I got my defensive one, too.

Speaker 2 OJo, Ja has appeared to be frustrated with how things are going in Memphis recently, and he confirmed on Monday that he's currently unhappy with the Grizzlies. When he asked if Morant

Speaker 2 has his usual joy at the moment, the point guard answered no. When asked, what can be done to get that joy back? Morant said, we'll see.

Speaker 8 Hey, I talked to Ja Ja today.

Speaker 8 I talked to Ja today. See,

Speaker 8 I love when players are disgruntled, right? And

Speaker 8 things aren't going well, and players aren't allowed to be themselves. When you get the best out of players, it's always when you allow them to be themselves.

Speaker 8 They're able to play freely and enjoy the game of basketball that they love to play. I talked to Ja today.

Speaker 8 I talked to Pat Riley. I talked to Mickey Harrison.
And again, I said it last year. We weren't able to make it happen.
But now the fact that Ja is not happy in Memphis,

Speaker 8 not happy in Memphis. We're trying to do all we can.
We're trying to dot all the I's. We're trying to cross all our T's and see if it's possible that we can get Ja down here to Miami.

Speaker 2 So that's what you want to happen?

Speaker 8 I mean, that's probably what's going to happen. And I'm not telling you what I heard.
I'm telling you what I know. That's probably what's going to happen.

Speaker 8 The powers that be are moving behind the scenes, trying to do what they can to see if in the foreseeable future, if this is possible.

Speaker 8 I don't think they're going to be able to rectify that relationship between Ja and the head coach and management and whoever else he's

Speaker 8 not happy with with that organization.

Speaker 8 And I think the time has come where it's run its course. And it's time for Ja to have new scenery.
And that new scenery is right down here on South Beach.

Speaker 8 And I'm excited. I'm excited for my Heat fans.
fans listen i'm excited for the nba as well because man you owe everybody

Speaker 8 no whoo no i'm just i'm just telling you i'm telling you i said i sat i sat down with pat i'm telling you what happened

Speaker 8 okay

Speaker 2 yeah i mean look for him i mean oh joe it's early in the season this had to be something that happened in the offseason Yeah, it's carrying over. We only got five.
We're only five games in.

Speaker 2 Like I said, I think he was really close to Taylor Jenkins.

Speaker 2 And they moved in a different direction. They fired him before right.
And I think they were like right smacked dab

Speaker 2 in contention, wasn't he? We had like eight, nine games go.

Speaker 2 And I think it surprised a lot of people. It probably surprised Jock.

Speaker 2 And so, and for him to say some of the things that he said the other night,

Speaker 2 I was like, wow.

Speaker 2 Like they probably think they probably thought that would be best for me not, you know, to win by me not playing. So I was surprised that he said some of the things that he said.
Right.

Speaker 2 But,

Speaker 8 hey, he's unhappy, huh?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 He's unhappy. And when you have a star of his caliber, that's unhappy.

Speaker 8 It's going to be a rocky road.

Speaker 2 I mean, I don't know if he wanted them to do something with that contract, but given his injury history and given some of the things that he's done off the court, Ocho, it's hard. I mean,

Speaker 2 you tying up 300, quarter of a million, quarter of a billion, 300 million on a guy.

Speaker 8 For him, absolutely.

Speaker 8 Him? Absolutely.

Speaker 8 We talk about the same John Moron, right?

Speaker 2 I'm talking about the same John Moron that's been hurt

Speaker 2 the last two years and had issues off the court. They're not tying up $300 million and nobody with that.
That's a red flag.

Speaker 2 They're not, Ocho.

Speaker 8 Everybody's a red flag because everybody is hurt. It's a poison.

Speaker 8 Anthony Davis gets hurt all the time, don't he?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 8 Didn't they pay him?

Speaker 2 Yeah, they paid him. Luca

Speaker 2 got Luca.

Speaker 8 Luca gets hurt.

Speaker 2 Didn't they just pay him?

Speaker 2 Name a guy that's gotten paid that's had issues off the court and an injury history.

Speaker 8 He's gonna get his bag.

Speaker 8 He's too good of a player.

Speaker 8 He's too good of a talent.

Speaker 2 despite despite some of the issues he's a superstar he's an all-nba selection yeah

Speaker 2 and the game that he plays ocho he gets injured a lot because he plays above the rim and he's he's not he's not a large man no

Speaker 2 and to play like that is it takes a toll on his body

Speaker 2 but i think the concerns that okay and Maybe he just needs a change of scenery. Maybe he needs to get out of Memphis.

Speaker 8 Da-da.

Speaker 8 There you go. You just said it.

Speaker 2 I don't know if Miami's a great place, you know.

Speaker 8 Hey, Unc, your camera not working now.

Speaker 13 Years later, I found myself thinking about that book again. I wanted the same edition back.

Speaker 2 I just want him to get healthy because I love watching him play. Having watched him several times play the Lakers up close.
He's special, man.

Speaker 2 He's special. He really is.

Speaker 8 Box office.

Speaker 2 And so,

Speaker 2 you know what, Ocho, sometimes, I mean, I think, what is this,

Speaker 2 sixth or seventh year? Maybe that's all the time that he was supposed to have in Memphis.

Speaker 2 Maybe that's it. Maybe his time was up in Memphis.
Maybe he needs to go elsewhere.

Speaker 2 And like he said, can he get it back? I don't know.

Speaker 2 I don't know what his relationship was like with Bane. But it seems like, I mean, they kept Jaron Jackson.

Speaker 2 They maxed him out.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 what did they give Jaron Jackson? To what?

Speaker 2 Y'all like, I'm the best player?

Speaker 8 Yeah, don't. Listen, you don't want to pay him? You're worried about

Speaker 8 off-the-court stuff. And, you know, as he continues to mature and gets older and improves on his game, I know what he does on the court.

Speaker 8 I know what he brings.

Speaker 8 I understand his value.

Speaker 8 You don't want to pay him?

Speaker 8 Somebody else will.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 But boy, Ocho. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You know what going to Miami entails? Who's in Miami?

Speaker 8 Me?

Speaker 2 No, Pat Riley.

Speaker 8 Oh, that's exactly what.

Speaker 8 Da-da.

Speaker 8 That's the whole point. Okay.
And he won't have any problems. He needs someone that runs things with an iron fist.

Speaker 8 A little structure. A little discipline.
We're going to let you be yourself.

Speaker 8 We're going to let you be yourself.

Speaker 2 Pat Riley ain't let nobody be himself. He didn't let LeBron be himself.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 8 you know what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I know. Yeah.
But you got to realize, Ocho, think about what he's used to having, used to doing whatever he was and his homeboys being around.

Speaker 8 You know Pat ain't going for that hey we we want we want y'all to be able to reach his full potential to maximize everything

Speaker 8 and he can do that right here in miami let me ask you sometimes sometimes you have to you have to play under

Speaker 8 certain rules and disciplines like what pat riley

Speaker 8 gives he needs that i'm telling you

Speaker 2 I'm telling you.

Speaker 2 How you think Pat's going to accept Jaw's dad?

Speaker 8 You're going to to be all right.

Speaker 2 You're going to be all right.

Speaker 8 I'm telling you. Okay.

Speaker 8 Yeah,

Speaker 8 you know.

Speaker 8 Morant Sr., he don't be in the way. He just be caught sad with his little drink.

Speaker 2 They good.

Speaker 8 That's it. They good.
Okay.

Speaker 2 I don't know about Miami, but I think his time might be up in Memphis. I just want him to go somewhere where we can see the old Jaw.
We can see the guy that was going to the NBA. Because Ocho,

Speaker 2 because you got to realize now, when he was going to the all-star shea wasn't what he is

Speaker 2 and man wasn't what he is yeah

Speaker 2 you got luca and you got steph

Speaker 8 okay yeah listen he's it he's in that conversation with the boys too when he's healthy

Speaker 2 when he's healthy

Speaker 2 it's a different it's a different time now ocho yeah

Speaker 8 Yeah, got to get him out of there.

Speaker 2 I just don't know. I'm not disagreeing with you on that.
I just don't know if Miami and what they got going on and how Pat Riley runs that, I'm not sure Miami is the place for him.

Speaker 2 I think we can find better options than Miami. Last January, the Atlanta Hawks finance executive sent what seemed to be like a routine request to the team's accounting department.

Speaker 2 He asked the franchise to pay off a $229,968.76 American Express bill for a stay at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas the month before.

Speaker 2 The Hawks made a detour there for the NBA Cup where they advanced to the semifinals and Lester Jones, the team's senior vice president of financial planning and analysis, wanting the bill played.

Speaker 2 The team accountant obliged, but there was no stay at the Wynn, according to federal prosecutors, and no bill for it.

Speaker 2 It was allegedly part of a year-long con by Jones to steal money from the Hawks, who employed him in their finance department for nearly a decade.

Speaker 2 Jones, 46, was charged with fraud and embezzling $3.8 million from the NBA franchise, according to an indictment brought last week by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Georgia.

Speaker 2 Jones used his position with the Hawks to build lavish lifestyle for himself, prosecutors alleged.

Speaker 2 He controlled the team's American Express card account and the ability to authorize charges, according to prosecutors, authorized multiple corporate cards for himself and had the ability to charge sums on others.

Speaker 2 He reportedly used the power to spend on trips to the Bahamas, Hawaii, Thailand, Switzerland, and other countries, paid for Porsche, and brought tickets to concerts and other events. Now

Speaker 2 he's facing counts of federal wire fraud.

Speaker 8 Hey,

Speaker 8 I got a question.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 8 do those that do crimes understand that

Speaker 8 there's no way out of that that at some point it's gonna catch up to you to to want to fund to to want to fund a lifestyle of going on trips and going to concerts and and buying cars and and and living lavish it is not it's not worth it honk

Speaker 8 It's not worth it. I don't understand.
What are we doing? You're in a great position. You have a great job.
You know, you can, I mean, but why not? Well,

Speaker 8 I might be the only idiot that does that, that lives way below his means. I don't understand.
What are you trying to prove?

Speaker 2 You already who you are.

Speaker 8 You're already set. You have a great job.

Speaker 8 You're in control of the finances.

Speaker 8 You have access to the credit, the Atlanta Hawks credit. Who fucks that? I'm sorry.
Who messes up being in that position?

Speaker 2 Somebody that's greedy.

Speaker 2 And ocho you have a job that doesn't afford you those said things

Speaker 2 so i i can see ocho if i have a look you and i have nice jobs so if we wanted to go on a vacation somewhere to the places that's mentioned we wanted to go to the maldives we wanted to go to the seychelles we wanted to go to the malfi coast or santorini or wherever the case may be Okay, the lifestyle that we had, the occupation that we have affords said lifestyle.

Speaker 2 Well, when you have an occupation that won't afford you that,

Speaker 2 people probably look like, well, damn,

Speaker 2 because

Speaker 2 I'll be looking at TikTok like that. I'm like, they got me thinking I ain't got no bread.

Speaker 8 Hey, hey, but Instagram the same way, huh? Yeah.

Speaker 8 And you scroll through Instagram sometimes, and I think to myself, right, I'm like, ain't no way in hell. all these goddamn people got this kind of money.

Speaker 8 I mean, they be eating lobster, they'll be eating crab claws they they i'm like well damn ain't no way in hell and the funny thing about it is social media is not reality that's not real life and the fact that people try to try to maintain an image is really scary because what the scary part to it is is you'll be willing to do anything to obtain said lifestyle And that's the bad part because you willing to do any willy and nilly thing to make sure you're able to provide and pay for your lifestyle.

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 if you've been around in the game long enough, you know.

Speaker 8 You know. And I'm going to leave that at that.

Speaker 8 That's not this kind of show.

Speaker 2 I just, I don't get why you would mess up an occupation like that when you got, you get to travel with the team. I mean, they trust you with the money.

Speaker 2 And I just, I don't get it.

Speaker 2 I mean, some things ain't for me to get. Right.

Speaker 2 But I live how I live.

Speaker 2 I got what I got.

Speaker 2 It's okay. Look, I know, you know.

Speaker 2 Sometimes

Speaker 2 you have this persona, Ocho, and you try to impress somebody. So I'm assuming going to the Bahamas and Hawaii and Thailand and Switzerland, he's taking someone with him.

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 2 I'm assuming, I'm assuming he's not going to these places by himself. Nah.
That's what I'm assuming. And Chad, forgive me for being presumptuous.
But I'm saying, I'm assuming.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's a bro, this is what I got. Yeah.
Oh, no, this is what I got. Yeah.

Speaker 8 And listen,

Speaker 2 I can't go nowhere for no, first of all, I don't want to go nowhere for no 30 days. I don't want to go nowhere for 21 days.
I don't want to go nowhere for two weeks.

Speaker 2 I ain't got it like that.

Speaker 8 Three days max.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're going to give you five days and four nights.

Speaker 8 Right? Five. Boy, you better than me.

Speaker 2 You know what, Ocho? It is okay, Ocho. It is okay

Speaker 2 to live a normal life that's not extravagant. It is okay.

Speaker 2 But you see what social media has done? You see, now people think

Speaker 2 I got to live like this or I ain't living. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Shit. Yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 Ocho, I am fine.

Speaker 2 I eat the same thing every day. And I'm fine with that.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Hey,

Speaker 2 I'm living proof.

Speaker 8 The funny thing about it is, is I'm living proof the past 25 years where I'm okay. I'm okay living way below my means.
If I need to, you know, I can cut a food every blue moon, every so often.

Speaker 8 yeah I can remind you oh yeah I still got it but it ain't no point that's not my identity it never has been no those that are lost in that image and having to keep up with the Joneses man I tell you I tell I tell you what my grandma say all the time huh a fool and his money sell soon so soon part ways it it's it it's always it always always comes to life at some point you you got to stop it it's impossible to maintain that lifestyle he's trying to live a life

Speaker 2 that he can't.

Speaker 2 It don't make sense.

Speaker 2 But how long did he think this charade was going to go on, Ojo?

Speaker 8 That's the part. I'm curious.

Speaker 2 I'm curious about the current.

Speaker 2 The guy from the Jags. The guy from the Jags,

Speaker 2 he stole 20 million from the Jags.

Speaker 8 What?

Speaker 2 Lost it all of the gambling.

Speaker 8 Wait, hold on.

Speaker 8 Did we talk about this story?

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 2 I got what I love. Like I said, at most,

Speaker 2 at the absolute most,

Speaker 2 I got five days and four nights.

Speaker 8 Nah, that's too long for me.

Speaker 2 I got you.

Speaker 2 I'm giving you three days. Oh, Joe, you do realize I'm counting the trip over.

Speaker 2 If it takes us a day to get there, well, you got three. You got four days and three nights.
Right.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 2 Oh, no, man. I can't.

Speaker 2 Oh, Joe, what am I going on vacation for?

Speaker 2 I mean, I'll go just to appease.

Speaker 2 That's what you want to do. You want to get away from it? Okay, babe.

Speaker 2 You want to go lay on the beach, okay?

Speaker 2 I'm going to be sitting on the porch at the bungalow watching you while you lay out there close by the food.

Speaker 8 Yeah. You know what the funny thing about it is? Is that I talk to all my NFL dudes, especially the young ones right now.

Speaker 8 I tell them about, you know, you're spending your money and not realizing, trying to get them to understand you are the value.

Speaker 8 You, you, and when you take all that jewelry off, when you ain't got no nice car, you, and you look in that mirror, boy, you are the value.

Speaker 8 When you can get your name, when you get your name, your name becomes a household name. There is the value.
There is nothing, nothing you can buy that is worth more than your name alone. Nothing.

Speaker 8 Nothing. Unkn you can go anywhere in the world.
Everybody know who the hell Shannon Sharp is.

Speaker 8 Everybody knows who it is. So you don't, there's certain things at this point in life you don't have to do because you already him.

Speaker 8 Motherfucker asked Bates, Ocho, why you driving that goddamn small car? What I'm supposed to be driving? I don't need a Ferrari. I don't need a Lamborghini no more.

Speaker 8 Wherever I go, everybody knows who

Speaker 8 I am. It makes no sense at this point.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm getting, I'm going to get a new car in 2027.

Speaker 8 For what?

Speaker 2 Because I just want one.

Speaker 8 You don't need it.

Speaker 2 I mean, I had, I mean, I've got a Range Rover.

Speaker 2 Oh, you're this is the, this is the, uh, I got the most miles I've ever had on a car in my life. I got 40,000 miles on my Range Rover.

Speaker 2 I've never had that many miles on any car I've ever had.

Speaker 8 What year range you got? Shit.

Speaker 2 I don't know, 2013.

Speaker 8 Well, goddamn.

Speaker 2 2014?

Speaker 8 You don't want to upgrade?

Speaker 2 For what?

Speaker 2 Shelly driving when she comes.

Speaker 8 You heard what you said? You said for what, right? So what I want you to say.

Speaker 2 Why are you getting my daughter drive?

Speaker 2 When my daughter come, she drive it. I don't.

Speaker 2 Hey, why don't you get it? I got a BMW. I got a BMW.
I got it in 2019. It just hit 10,500 miles.

Speaker 8 That's it?

Speaker 2 Ocho,

Speaker 2 when I go, I go to the gym. If I got to get anything,

Speaker 2 if I got to go by CVS, if I got to go to grab something, I'm going to do all of that WAP out. I'm not coming home from the gym and like, oh, I got to go get something.

Speaker 2 Oh, like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 Everything is in one

Speaker 2 fell swoop.

Speaker 8 Hey, you know what, man, matter of thing about it. I know, I know the people at Range Rover might see this.

Speaker 8 I know the people at Rangeman might see this. So I'm going to just throw this out there.
I'm going to throw this little tidbit out there. You know, Christmas coming up.
And

Speaker 8 if y'all got any kind of discounts, y'all want to holler at your boy. You know, trying to get me a nice little Range Rover.

Speaker 2 Somebody said, Man, talking about like 40,000 miles, a lot of miles. It is

Speaker 2 40,000 miles and a lot of miles on the car.

Speaker 8 I mean, it depends on how much you drive.

Speaker 8 You don't drive that much. So, to other people, that might be a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 Jordan got 17,000. Jordan had his car for two years.
It already got 17,000 miles on it. Where the hell they be going?

Speaker 2 You must be living in Cali.

Speaker 2 He's driving back and forth to Cali every day.

Speaker 2 God dang, Jordan.

Speaker 8 That's That's a lot.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like I said,

Speaker 2 I got that car in 20.

Speaker 2 I don't know what it is. I got to see it, but I think it's like in 2013.
I got it in 2012, October of 2012.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 it just turned 40,000 miles. So that's 13, 14 years.

Speaker 2 I hate driving. I hate it.

Speaker 8 Listen, I like it.

Speaker 2 I got like my max,

Speaker 2 probably like,

Speaker 2 I mean, I used to try to do like three and a half hours. Oh, three.
I mean, I think the farthest I drove, I drove to Daytona. I drove to Tallahassee back in the day.

Speaker 8 Huh? Yeah, my max is three hours. Orlando, Tampa.

Speaker 2 That's it.

Speaker 2 You know, I was in Savannah. I drive to Savannah, Atlanta, but that's it.

Speaker 2 Five hours, ten hours. Oh, hell.

Speaker 8 Listen, I don't understand people that enjoy road trips like that. Anything over three, I can't do it.
I'm getting on the plane. I can't do it.
Oh, let's take a seated route. Seen what? No.
Oh, Joe.

Speaker 8 Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 Oh, Joe. I drove.
I flew from L.A. to San Diego.

Speaker 2 I fly from Atlanta to Savannah. Oh, no, I'm not driving.

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 8 Yeah, three hours. Three hours I could do.

Speaker 2 Can't do it.

Speaker 2 Damn. Man.

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 I don't get, you know, in a situation like that, like, you are who you are. You got what you got.
And I just, at this point, I

Speaker 2 got what I got.

Speaker 8 I don't understand, man.

Speaker 2 You know,

Speaker 2 I can't fly. You know, I can't,

Speaker 2 we're not going and staying in no $5,000, $10,000 a night villa.

Speaker 2 Just me and you?

Speaker 8 Yeah, wait, five, ten thousand for something I didn't already have? for who for what?

Speaker 2 Oh, well, you best believe if you going over there, it's already the act has already been done. Hey, you can fly away over there for that.

Speaker 8 If the act has already been done, ain't no need to be going over there in the first place.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 8 man, come on, man. $5, $10,000 on a villa? For who? For what?

Speaker 2 Nah, Ocho, I mean, come on, now. Nah, ain't nobody.
I mean, you know, hey, she done put up, she done, you know, she done, hey.

Speaker 2 Hey, we going, where we going, oh, y'all, with a vacation? We got to go somewhere.

Speaker 8 Oh, yeah, right here, you know.

Speaker 2 No, we ain't going right here. We going somewhere.
We're going to. Puerto Rico, Bahamas.
Huh? Nah, uh-huh. The Bahamas, on your, oh, that was Jamaica that hurricane hit.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 To all the people in Jamaica, man, our thoughts and prayers go to you guys.

Speaker 2 Hopefully, everybody's okay.

Speaker 2 Check on your family, friends, and loved ones. I want to go somewhere.
I got to go somewhere.

Speaker 2 I got to go somewhere where I can fly Qatar Air, Qantas, Emirates,

Speaker 2 Singapore Air. I got to go somewhere I can fly one of those.

Speaker 8 The only time I'm traveling that far is for soccer. That's it.

Speaker 2 I'm saying, Ocho, I got to travel somewhere. So wherever one of those four airlines goes,

Speaker 2 I need to go there.

Speaker 2 So I guess if Singapore Air, I guess I got to go to Singapore. I've never wanted to go to Singapore.

Speaker 2 Hey, can I just go? Can I, hey, I'm going to just fly. Can I just fly? I ain't got no reservations nowhere.
I can put a fly whatever. You ain't got no destination.

Speaker 8 You're just getting on.

Speaker 2 Huh? So

Speaker 8 you ain't got no destination. You're just getting on, huh? Nope.

Speaker 2 I just want to say

Speaker 2 I'm going to fly all four of them because I want to see, you know,

Speaker 2 you know.

Speaker 8 Hey, hey, hey, that business class, boy, is something special.

Speaker 2 That's what I hear. That's what I've seen.

Speaker 8 Boy, it's something special. Emirates.

Speaker 2 Okay, Emirates, Singapore, Qatar, and Qantas.

Speaker 8 Okay. Hey,

Speaker 8 when I had to fly Qatar, Qatar,

Speaker 8 to work the World Cup.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Qatar.
That thing with nights, Ocho?

Speaker 8 Man, I ain't never seen nothing like that, man.

Speaker 8 I didn't even know the inside of a plane could look like that.

Speaker 2 The service, the visual. Now you got me geeked, Ocho.
Now you got me geeked, Ocho.

Speaker 8 Hey, that was different.

Speaker 8 That was different. And then, obviously, the plane is big as hell.

Speaker 8 You don't feel no turbulence.

Speaker 2 You don't feel no turbulence. And this is one of the double deckers too, hey, Locho.

Speaker 8 Double decker.

Speaker 8 You can walk up the stairs.

Speaker 2 I mean, walk on the stairs.

Speaker 2 You can walk around. Go around up and go up.

Speaker 8 Yeah, it was amazing. It was amazing.
And the fact that, listen,

Speaker 8 the people, the stewardess, and the flight attendants, they constantly check on me to make sure you're right.

Speaker 2 No, I don't want them to check on me. I don't want them to check on me.
Once I get it there, Ocho, I'm good. You good? Okay.
Ocho, I got to sign, do not disturb.

Speaker 2 I got to decide to do nothing. I don't want nothing.

Speaker 8 Hey, but that's different, man.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm fine.

Speaker 8 That was a great experience, though. That was.

Speaker 2 Hey, I would just pretend like I'd be jailed sitting outside my door. Just set my plate on the floor outside the door, Ocho.

Speaker 2 Oh, Joe, the Houston Rockets started their season 0-2, but have seemingly hit their stride. KD and the Rockets

Speaker 2 have made it four consecutive wins with a 110-102 win over Cooper Flag and the Dallas Mavericks. KD had 21.6 boards, 5 assists in the win, while Afrin Sungun had 26, 11, and 6.

Speaker 2 Armin Thompson led the way for Houston with 27 points a new season high. Meanwhile, Flag

Speaker 2 has been a bit inconsistent during his rookie season. He had just 12 points after going coal in the second half.
Without Day D on the court, Dallas would need more from the number one overall pick.

Speaker 2 And Kyrie probably is not coming back until 26. I mean, January of 26.
Kyrie says he's going to make sure he's healthy.

Speaker 2 They got P.J. Washington gave him 29 and 12.

Speaker 2 Gaffer gave him 14. Cooper Flagg

Speaker 2 gave him 12. Max Christie gave him 17.
And they got 10 from D'Angelo Russell. But Kevin Durant,

Speaker 2 21. Terry Eason had 15.
Shingoon had 26. Thompson had 27.

Speaker 2 Houston's hitting their stride. They're getting good.
KD didn't shoot the ball particularly well last tonight. He was six of 18.
It was only two of eight from three, but hey, that's KD. Hey,

Speaker 2 I ain't worried about it.

Speaker 2 He ain't going to shoot that bad from the field. He ain't going to shoot 33%.

Speaker 2 He won't shoot 33% 10 times this year from the field.

Speaker 2 And he damn sure ain't going to shoot 25% from three. So I ain't worried about KD.

Speaker 2 Shingoon is an all-star.

Speaker 2 I always thought Thompson was special. Thompson is amazing.
Ah,

Speaker 8 is it a mod Mod or Ahmad?

Speaker 2 Amon.

Speaker 8 Oh, Amon? Amon. Amon Thompson.

Speaker 2 And he got a brother that's in Detroit

Speaker 2 and shore.

Speaker 8 Damn, I should have been a hooper, man.

Speaker 2 No, you did what you're supposed to do.

Speaker 2 You did exactly. Oh, Joe, the Lakers were short staffed tonight.
Luca, LeBron, Austin Reeves, all sidelined, but managed to pick up a 123-115 victory over the Portland Trailblazers.

Speaker 2 The win came in large part to DeAndre Ayton, who posted his best performance in a Laker uniform. 29 points, 10 boards.
Rui Hachimura stepped in with 28 points.

Speaker 2 You know, he was going to probably be motivated because he, you know, he spent a couple of years up in Portland. Portland.
Yeah. And, you know, Portland feels like he did not.

Speaker 2 Hold on.

Speaker 2 He did not. He has not played

Speaker 2 as well as they had hoped when they gave him that big contract to come from Phoenix.

Speaker 2 Look, man, hey,

Speaker 2 J.J. Reddick can coach.

Speaker 2 I mean, you can tell how thorough he was like being around him and talking basketball. He's very, very, very

Speaker 2 well prepared. Now, I'm not saying he's the most prepared, but I'm saying if there's someone more prepared than him, they're really, really prepared.

Speaker 8 Well, the funny thing about it when it comes to basketball,

Speaker 8 even though it's something new to me, but you can tell how good jj is as a coach when you have some of your star players out and you're still able to put up the kind of performance they did the

Speaker 8 portland trail blazers

Speaker 2 no lebron no luca no uh ad

Speaker 2 so you got three starters out and you did and you do what you did there yeah uh

Speaker 2 that was amazing

Speaker 8 they were down they were down big at one point i think they were down like 10 points right that but what is that what does that say about the blazers are the blazers that bad this year or are they just early in the season they haven't hit their stripes.

Speaker 2 I mean, they got some decent players. I like Shaden Sharp.
They brought

Speaker 2 Holiday over. Klingen.
Kamara's pretty good.

Speaker 2 They got some decent plays, but they're not going to do anything, Ocho. No.

Speaker 2 And Jeremy Grant is coming off the bench now, but they're not going to do anything.

Speaker 2 You know, Dame is back

Speaker 2 in Portland, and he's a year away.

Speaker 8 Dame won't be back to next year, huh?

Speaker 2 Yeah, right.

Speaker 2 But when you're out, Luca, you're out AR, you're without LeBron,

Speaker 2 and you find a way to win against a team to full strength.

Speaker 8 Right.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Damn, the Lakers scored 71 in the second half.

Speaker 2 Ooh.

Speaker 2 That's a big-time win.

Speaker 2 That's very impressive. I've been very, very impressed with JJ,

Speaker 2 a guy that I don't think he's had any previous coaching experience unless he coached his kids

Speaker 2 at a very low level with no college, no high school,

Speaker 2 obviously no professional career, and to step in and to coach. But here's the guy that played the game.

Speaker 2 And I think the thing is you respect him because you know he knows what he's talking about. You know he's thorough.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I've been very, very, very impressed with the job. Now,

Speaker 2 I still haven't forgiven for what he did in game three and played LeBron them all them damn minutes. But other than that,

Speaker 2 you you you get to the finals this year and you or you win the championship I always forgiven all is forgiven

Speaker 2 all right oh y'all we're gonna get out of here on this it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A

Speaker 2 Tino Davis says Stephen A needs to stay away from Dallas. He bad luck.

Speaker 2 Man, it's not like y'all won a whole bunch of games before Stephen a step foot in dallas you don't realize y'all y'all y'all those 31st worst defense in football or the bingles are worse so what you mean stephen a you didn't no come on you didn't have to mention us you didn't have to mention us you can't lump the bangles and the cowboys together and you can't make them both of the defense suck And you cannot blame Stephen A.

Speaker 8 I hate when people do that. You know, even though in the joking manner, they say, oh, you bad luck.
Oh, you the reason we lost. Hell, them boys been out there practicing.

Speaker 8 They practiced Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. What they put out there on Sunday ain't got nothing to do with me.
Ain't got nothing to do with me at all.

Speaker 2 Yes, it does.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 Tyler Cox,

Speaker 2 as a lifelong Cowboy fan, I'm officially done. Cowboys is just a marketing company with a few football players.
Damn.

Speaker 8 Wait, he said

Speaker 8 a marketing company? Yep. That's a good one.

Speaker 8 Listen, the brand markets itself. It sells itself.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but

Speaker 8 that it does. But he's not done.
He's just talking.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's the,

Speaker 2 you know, we say that all the time. I'm done.
I'm done. I'm out.

Speaker 2 Hey, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 Hey, they win one game, but I'm back. I'm back.

Speaker 8 Hype.

Speaker 2 Izzy R said, yo, Uncle No

Speaker 2 who was better? Wide receiver duo, Aaron McCaffrey, Rod Smith, or TJ Hush Manzada and Ocho.

Speaker 2 That was a good one. Yeah, it is.

Speaker 2 Ocho, you ever had 100 catches in a season?

Speaker 8 Hell no, not even close.

Speaker 2 What about TJ?

Speaker 8 Probably.

Speaker 8 Probably.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was one year. Ed and Rod both went over 100.
I wasn't there. I think it was 2000.
In 2000, both Ed and Rod

Speaker 2 nah, it was 2001. They both went over,

Speaker 16 was it 2001?

Speaker 2 Nah, 2000.

Speaker 2 2000, they both went over

Speaker 2 100 catches in a season. Man, I thought that was another where he led the league, and he had over 1,600 yards receiving.
Right.

Speaker 8 Man, I wish I did have a goddamn honey catch.

Speaker 8 Man, please.

Speaker 2 Philly talk, PA.

Speaker 2 Deron Bland is good as his last name. He's not PS2.
He's not Stingley. He's not Quinn Yon.
He's not Gonzo. He's not Terrero.
There's a reason Rail Revers career high interception was four.

Speaker 2 Didn't even throw his way barbecue chicken. Yes, you're right.
And that's what people don't realize. I mean, look, a lot of guys got a lot of picks once they moved to safety.
You look at

Speaker 2 Rod Woodson, started his career out as a corner, moved to safety.

Speaker 2 Charles Woodson started his career as a corner, moved to safety.

Speaker 2 Aeneas Williams started his career as a corner, moved to safety.

Speaker 2 Time started his career out as a corner, moved to safety.

Speaker 2 His last two years in

Speaker 2 Bee More.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 2 I just don't know.

Speaker 2 I just never seen the corner, a guy that's supposed to be that guy just get targeted.

Speaker 2 But it was one of those nights, but

Speaker 2 and when a guy gets to

Speaker 2 get it going, and that's what you don't want to happen, Ocho, I don't care. Hey, you let a a guy get going, it's a rap, man.
You got your damn hands full.

Speaker 8 Hey, it's gonna be it's gonna be hell shutting me down now.

Speaker 8 Because once he gets going, and once that confidence gets in you in your system,

Speaker 2 ain't nothing you can do. You have my mercy now at all.
You have my mercy now.

Speaker 2 Kenneth Davis said Jerry Jones needs to hire. I think he means Carly SA.
He said Charlie SA. He means Carly, the one that's on the sidelines.

Speaker 2 Oh,

Speaker 2 from Indy?

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 and seguera segera uh hey uncanocho love the show can you recall a route you ran where you left a defender in the dust like uh uh uh mh mike uh marvin harrison jr did at the goal line yeah i ran a sluggo yep shoot me all of them

Speaker 2 yeah oh oh go back to look at 98 how i was cooking the cowboys cooked them oh the best route i ever ran i only got 20 yards i shook hey what I'm sorry. I shook Darren Woodson.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 2 When I say I shook him, Ocho.

Speaker 8 You got him bad.

Speaker 2 What?

Speaker 2 Did I?

Speaker 2 Not the best ride I ran. Nah, I ran another ride in practice, and they didn't throw me the ball.

Speaker 2 I ran a ride, Ocho.

Speaker 2 Ah. Got inside.
Right. Now, mind you, I want to go inside.

Speaker 2 I got a brace of cross. So I got 10 to 12 break of the cross.
Right.

Speaker 2 So I got inside.

Speaker 2 I got to my break. I put my hand in his back.
So if I put you, you put somebody to put your hand in the back. What did that mean? He tried to go out.
Right. So I put my hand in his back.

Speaker 2 He went out. I went in.
Yeah.

Speaker 8 Most of the time when you

Speaker 2 because wherever he feels pressure, he's going to go where he feels pressure. Right.

Speaker 2 They ain't throw me the ball, though.

Speaker 2 big td the one damn old show ever since i wore 85 jersey my cowboys really looking like some stir-fry what the hell

Speaker 8 keep it on don't take it off hold on but the cowboys been stir-fry before you wore that jersey though i'm confused

Speaker 2 He tried to, he tried to put it on you, Ocho.

Speaker 8 Yeah, no, yeah, don't do that. Don't do that.
I ain't got nothing to do with that.

Speaker 2 The Prime S,

Speaker 2 Prime S, Shannon, I have to know. After tonight, I believe the season is over for the Cowboys.
That defense is as useful as a wet napkin.

Speaker 2 What I want to know, what is it going to take for the Cowboys to be relevant next season?

Speaker 2 It seems like when they got a decent defense, the offense isn't good. When they got an offense,

Speaker 2 when they got a defense, the offense isn't good. And when the offense is good, the defense isn't good.

Speaker 2 Jerry let somebody else be in charge.

Speaker 8 That ain't happening.

Speaker 2 I mean, think about he's done changed players. He's done changed coaches.
The only thing that's remained the same is him being the general manager, him being owner, CEO,

Speaker 2 vice president, and owner.

Speaker 2 Those four titles has not left.

Speaker 2 Coaches, how many coaches had he had?

Speaker 2 He had Mike McCarthy.

Speaker 2 Now he got Brian Schottenheimer. He had Mike McCarthy.
He had Jason Garrett. Who did he have before? He had Bill Parcells.
He had Dave Campo. He had Chan Gailey.
He had Barris Whistler.

Speaker 2 He had Jimmy Johnson. That's who I can name off the top of my head.
Yeah. Oh, and Wade Phillips.

Speaker 2 He's had different quarterbacks. He had Drew Bledsoe.
He had Tony Romo. Now he's had

Speaker 2 Dak Prescott. He's had different running backs.
He's had Denz Bryan at wide receiver. He's had Terrell Lloyds at wide receiver.
He's had Miles Austin at

Speaker 2 wide receiver. Now he's got CD George Pickens.
He's had Jason Witten at tight end. He's had

Speaker 2 one of the Bennett's at tight ends. He's got these guys at tight ends.
Offensive line, hold it. The only thing that's remained intact,

Speaker 8 Jerry.

Speaker 2 And he had the nerve to talk about he thought about hiring Sean Payton. Man, you ain't think about hiring no Sean Payton because you're not going to tell Sean Payton what to do.

Speaker 2 Sean Payton got too much Bill Parcels in him. You weren't going to ever hire Sean Payton.

Speaker 2 But it sounded good.

Speaker 2 Brian, BB Gaming, are my ratings ever going to be good? Do you ever think Derek Carr was a solid quarterback or was he mid?

Speaker 2 Took you out to the playoffs one year.

Speaker 2 Was he great? No.

Speaker 2 But how many times? I mean, but people like to make it seem like in the 80s, there was just like a plethora of great quarterbacks. In the 90s, there was this plethora of great quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 In the 2000s,

Speaker 2 it wasn't.

Speaker 2 There have been the same five, six, tier one quarterbacks, some tier twos, and some tier threes. That's just the way it is.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 it wasn't no 15 Joe Montanas

Speaker 2 in the 80s.

Speaker 2 There wasn't no

Speaker 2 15 Marinos and Elways in the 90s.

Speaker 2 There wasn't no 1520 Peyton Mannings, Drew Breeds,

Speaker 2 Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 There wasn't Favre. There wasn't that.

Speaker 2 But until you get

Speaker 2 a real top-notch quarterback, you're wasting your time.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's the hard part.

Speaker 2 T.S. Car Washington Detail Service, Jock is going to be retired soon with his actions.
Now, I think me, I think

Speaker 2 he's moved beyond

Speaker 2 the behavior off the court.

Speaker 2 I don't know what the issues with him on the court, with the coaching staff.

Speaker 2 I think he's injured now. I think he had.
Well, no, he wasn't injured. He said he wasn't injured with nothing wrong with him.
They just didn't play him.

Speaker 2 And I don't know.

Speaker 2 I need to watch him for an extended period of time and see if I still see the same explosiveness.

Speaker 2 If I see the same guy that attacks the basket like he once did when he was at his apex, getting to attacking the rim eight, nine, ten times a game.

Speaker 2 Let's see if he's still that guy. I think he's shooting a career low from the three at 19%.

Speaker 2 That won't cut it because if you're not going to shoot any better than that, they're going to back off of you because they know you can get around them. They're not going to let you get around them.

Speaker 2 They'll give you that shot.

Speaker 2 And I thought he had worked really hard in the offseasons because he had gotten better, better. And if they dared him to shoot it, he would shoot it.
And he'd make it.

Speaker 2 He took the shot with conviction. So I think once he gets back, I'm going to make a concerted effort to spend a little bit more time watching him and see if I notice any differences in his game.

Speaker 2 Saucer said, oh, what I want to say over

Speaker 2 second, no Luca, no AR, and my Lakers still find a way to be 6-2. Yeah, because AR did a great job of carrying them when Luca was out.
And now when Luca's back, man, you look, look, Luca can go off.

Speaker 2 He's a guy that can get you 25, 20, 25, 30 points in a quarter. Yeah.
AR is playing with extreme confidence. And they got this kid, Lavera,

Speaker 2 La Vita,

Speaker 2 La Varia. La Varia,

Speaker 2 he dropped, what, 26, 27 the other night?

Speaker 2 He was cooking. I'm like, what, where he came from?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He from Memphis, ain't he? Wasn't he in Memphis last year? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I'm like, damn.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 you got guys that can take game. The thing that happened with the Lakers is that, like, when LeBron would go to the bench or when Luca go to the bench,

Speaker 2 now you'll always have a situation where you'll have

Speaker 2 either Luca and LeBron or Luca and AR or AR and LeBron. You'll always have guys that can go get you buckets.
So there should never be a lull

Speaker 2 in scoring with those guys. Look, now look.

Speaker 2 Defensively, there's going to be an issue because

Speaker 2 LeBron is going to be 41. AR is not a defensive guy, and neither is Luca.

Speaker 2 So guys like, you know, you get a guy like Marker Smart, Jared Vanderbilt, those guys are going to have to be better on the defensive end.

Speaker 2 Aiden's going to have to protect the paint.

Speaker 2 It's just what he's going to have to do a very good job of. Damn, Bronny had six assists tonight.

Speaker 2 Okay. five points, six assists.

Speaker 2 I see you, Bronny. Brie Carter, Ocho, got a finance degree.
He got everything except your $5,900. You right.
You noticed that too. Damn.

Speaker 2 You got all these damn degrees.

Speaker 8 Hey, listen.

Speaker 2 Oh, I got that.

Speaker 8 Hey, you see that finance degree? Right?

Speaker 8 And

Speaker 8 that same situation dude was in trouble with about spending money.

Speaker 8 That's why I'm.

Speaker 2 You owe me. He was spending somebody else stuff.
You owe me money, Ocho.

Speaker 2 What don't you get about that?

Speaker 8 Hey, 2026, I got you.

Speaker 8 Matter of fact, for Christmas.

Speaker 2 Ocho, you've been owing me since 24.

Speaker 8 It's been that long?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 8 God damn.

Speaker 2 That's what I said.

Speaker 2 You don't get a little something for a little salt or something for something.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 soft soft.

Speaker 8 I'm trying to get my daughter a Range Rover, man, for Christmas.

Speaker 2 How you gonna get a Range Rover if you ain't got my 5,900? Chad, did that make sense to y'all?

Speaker 8 Hold on, but I'm just saying, you want my daughter to go without a car?

Speaker 2 I want you to give me my 5,900. After you give me my 5,900, you can buy a dunk truck for all I care.

Speaker 2 I just want my $5,900. That's all I want.

Speaker 2 Chad,

Speaker 2 Chad, y'all heard this man? This man said, yeah,

Speaker 2 my daughter wants a Range Rover for Christmas. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He got Range Rover money, but he ain't got $5,900. Listen,

Speaker 2 and you ain't got Joe $100. You owe Joe $100.

Speaker 8 Oh, shoot. There you go.
All right. Let me, I'm going to switch back to my laptop, huh?

Speaker 2 Yeah. You paid Dan, though.

Speaker 8 I ain't pay Dan.

Speaker 8 But Dan had to get it back in blood too

Speaker 2 I'm just trying to figure this out so M Sports up fly of

Speaker 2 fly private Ocho be betting 5900 y'all. Yes, y'all do have it

Speaker 2 Nah

Speaker 2 I'll be flying private. I'll be in my seat by myself on Delta

Speaker 2 Man, I ain't got man 10 12 an hour

Speaker 2 Why won't put 40,000? Why I'm gonna pay $40,000 to fly from here to Atlanta?

Speaker 8 Oh, oh, now, oh, now you want to see what I was talking about by flying private. Now you get it.
You see what I mean? What? There we go. Because I got on you when you flew private last time.

Speaker 8 You was in there eating by yourself. And I said that was a waste of money.

Speaker 2 It wasn't a waste of money. It was money well spent.
And if you give me my $5,900.

Speaker 2 As a matter of fact,

Speaker 2 I still got two and a half hours on one. So I $5,900, that'll be a full three hours.

Speaker 2 So I could go somewhere.

Speaker 8 You don't need to go nowhere. That's the problem.

Speaker 2 Oh, man.

Speaker 8 You need to focus, huh? You need to focus. We on grind time right now.
We in grind mode right now.

Speaker 2 I ain't going to fly nowhere right now, but I got these hours stored up.

Speaker 8 Yeah, well,

Speaker 8 let them sit and marinate.

Speaker 2 Oh, Lord. Let him go.
Dr. Frankie L.
Bellamy, no words for tonight's performance. Nothing.
Doc, you know, every since you said that, you know, see what I'm saying, doc, you should have left it alone.

Speaker 2 You say you're going to have something,

Speaker 2 your team was going to have something for the Broncos. I told you, I said, Doc, don't do that.

Speaker 2 I tried to tell you, Doc, I didn't want to do this.

Speaker 2 I didn't want to do this, Doc.

Speaker 2 I feel bad for you. I don't.
But, doc, I am so sorry, your team.

Speaker 8 What, Doc, a Cowboys fan?

Speaker 2 Ishi.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 8 I'm just curious. For Cowboys fans, are they expecting something different this year?

Speaker 8 Or

Speaker 8 do they act like it's a surprise every year?

Speaker 2 Every year.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Motion boy, Mike. Love y'all, Uncan Ocho.
I'm an Amazon driver, and I listen to y'all on my route every day. Ocho,

Speaker 2 after hearing some crazy, it's my favorite.

Speaker 8 Yeah, I got you. I got you.
I got you. Definitely, I'm gonna get that to you.

Speaker 2 Saw your cars with Ocho, Burrow can't stay healthy. Trade while you can.
Damn, Ocho.

Speaker 8 Trade who?

Speaker 2 He said, Joe.

Speaker 8 Man, child, please, man. Sit down somewhere, man.

Speaker 8 Tell my top three quarterback in the NFL. You know how hard quarterbacks like that are to come by? Nah, we ain't trading no Joe.

Speaker 2 I absolutely know how hard they are to come by.

Speaker 2 And when you get one, you ain't getting off him unless he

Speaker 2 old,

Speaker 2 injured,

Speaker 2 or just a downright problem.

Speaker 8 Yep.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 I don't see that happening.

Speaker 2 That completes this episode of Nightcap.

Speaker 2 The Cowboys did what Cowboys do.

Speaker 2 They did.

Speaker 2 By losing.

Speaker 2 What was it called? 2017?

Speaker 2 27-17. 27-17.
27-17.

Speaker 2 Wow. Jacoby Brissette looked really good tonight.

Threw the ball.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he missed a a couple of throws but uh you know they brought some pressure and he stood right in there and he stared down the battle of the gun and he he made some big-time throws i thought guys stepped up made plays there was really no drop the only drop they had was a uh mcbride he got past the fairies but i'm sure he loved to have that catch back because he's like damn that passed in the fairs i want to pick on the deep ball down on the deep ball yes absolutely um thank you guys for joining us I am your favorite Uncle Shannon Sharp, and that is my partner and co-host, Liberty City's own Bingles Ring of Fame modere, a former Pro Bowler and an all-pro.

Speaker 2 Jacoby Brissette filling in for an injured Tyler Murray played extremely well tonight. Had two touchdown passes, and he played well.
They ran the ball well.

Speaker 2 Defense got after Dak Prescott, sacked him five times. Picked him off, even though that didn't count at the end of the game, but they did force two costly turnovers and turned him over on downs twice.
