It was taken somewhere between
four and six weeks, but they believe
they can have it turned around in one to two weeks.
So thank you, thank you for selling out

can turn it around in one to two weeks. So thank you very
much for doing that, and on to we're going to get right into it Ocho tonight our first segment
of the first segment of the day is a news cap news cap
Cardinals reaffirmed Kyler Murray as their franchise quarterback of head of 2024 free
agency there was speculation that the Cardinals might move on from Kyler and use their high first round draft pick on a quarterback this year.
But they put that to bed today.
They posted a photo of Kyler on their Twitter account saying, our franchise quarterback.
The NFL had jokes because previously or infamously posted a photo on their team's social media page.
In 2019, they posted a picture of Josh Rosen saying,
Josh is our guy.
Do you like Arizona putting their faith in Kyler Murray?
Yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely.
Obviously, I think they were on the right track.
I think Kyler Murray was on the right track, barring injury.
Obviously, he got hurt.
Listen, in 2023, he had 1799, 10 TDs, five interceptions.
He only played eight games.
He was three and five at the start.
He's a two-time Pro Bowler.
2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year.
He just signed a multi-year contract five year 230 million extension in 2022 they definitely
letting him go right now they definitely not letting him go this early in his career and we
can see i think what they need to do is put some pieces around him though they need to put some
pieces around him if you're serious about winning and he if he is your franchise quarterback you
need to do due to due diligence not just not just to that fan base but but for Kyler Murray so he can be productive.
Yeah, you're definitely going to have to get some better line play
to protect him.
Obviously, he's going to have to do a better job of protecting himself.
But a lot of times, excuse me, guys,
a lot of times quarterbacks that are mobile are the most sacked.
Look at Randall Cunningham.
Look at Cam Newton.
Look at Mike Vick.
Look at Lamar Jackson.
Look at your quarterback.
Because while they do possess an innate ability to
get out of harm's way, a lot of times
they run themselves into harm's way.
They escape something on the front side
only to run themselves into trouble on the back
side. And sometimes they
put too much confidence
in their ability. So that's not
abnormal
to have a quarterback
as mobile as Kyler
to get sacked a lot
because what we've seen,
a lot of mobile quarterbacks
are very, very high
in sack total.
Steve Young got sacked a bunch.
But you got to be able to,
and I think you're right, Ocho.
I mean, I think he missed what?
He missed the first eight games,
seven, eight games
because he was coming off
an ACL injury.
Can he get back to what he once was?
Because his injury was a freak injury.
He was scrambling in an open field, non-contact, boom,
knee gives out on him.
But he's a phenomenal talent.
But you just need to make sure that football is a priority,
because I don't care what anybody says, Ocho.
You don't put that.
He has to study X amount of hours
away from the facility
if you believe he's doing what he needs to do
away from the facility.
I think they shouldn't have put that in there
because you already know
in order to play at this level,
in order to achieve greatness at this level,
there's a certain amount of time
you have to put in.
Now, obviously, Kyler Murray being a gamer, similar
to how I am, at times,
even as a quarterback, regardless of position,
regardless of the position that you
play, there is a certain thing called
me time. So what you choose to do
in your downtime at home, as far as, but
Kyler Murray, he likes the game. How great do you want to be?
So you're saying you can't be great and play
video games? How great do you want to be? How much video games do you think Patrick Mahomes and play and play video games how great do you want to be how
much video games you think patrick mahomes played how much video games do you think he plays he
plays he plays how much the first also for them to put that in his contract you do realize when
you hook up the ipad hold on when you pick up the ipad you do know they can see how much tape you
watch right you didn't know that did you yeah Yeah, of course. Of course I know that.
But I'm saying, I'm sure he's
putting in the attitude. Clearly
they didn't think so. Or they wouldn't have added
that.
If you're doing what you say, why are you signing?
Well, listen, if you think he wasn't doing it,
you wouldn't pay him the money you paid him. That's why I put that
in his contract.
You see?
For one, that's doing a little too much on their part. You wouldn't pay him the money you paid him. That's why I put that in his contract. You see? I like it. And your contract, guess what?
For one, that's doing a little too much on their part as well.
I got to protect my investment.
I want to make sure you do it what you're supposed to.
Ocho.
You're paying him for a reason.
The reason you paid him is because you know he's good at what he does.
Yeah.
I want him to get better.
Okay.
All right.
You're right.
I got you.
I got you.
You can go work for any business.
You don't think ESPN got a morality clause?
You don't think these companies have morality?
I'm paying you X amount of dollars,
and you think I'm going to let you do whatever you want arbitrarily
and not have my bases covered?
We talk about playing video games at home
in the comfort of your own home.
But I'm just saying there are certain parameters
because I need protection.
So in other words, I've got to put this in here
because what I've noticed is
that you're not studying enough,
Ocho. You know what's
funny is the fact that somebody,
I'm not sure who it is,
it was just fans that were able to track
when he was online and the fact that they're
saying, oh look, Kyler Murray's
online because they knew his gamer tag or
whatever it might have been and the fact that they keep
posting it and posting it and posting it,
that's the reason they put it in there because
the NFL had no way of knowing if you're online
gaming or not. Ocho, it ain't about
the NFL. It's about the team.
I mean the team. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You know what I mean.
I mean ownership. I mean ownership. When you pick up that
iPad, it can tell you how much
film you watch for the week. And him
being a quarterback, the
hours didn't match.
The hours don't match, Ocho.
There's a price to be
paid for greatness.
These guys want to pretend. Everybody
says, I want to be great.
But are you doing everything
it takes to be great?
You know what he had to do to even get to this
point? I'm sure he knows what it takes to be great.
Everybody had to do something to get to this point, Ocho.
So what separates them?
It sure wasn't luck.
No.
It sure wasn't luck.
Have you seen Kyler Murray play?
Have you seen his high school footage?
Have you seen what he did when he was healthy in the NFL?
He's good.
Name the player that wasn't good in high school.
No, no, no.
I wasn't good in high school.
Yeah, you weren't.
Because you wouldn't have got a scholarship.
No matter what, it's the NAIA Division III,
whatever the case may be, JUCO.
Right.
I think, to me, honestly,
at the quarterback position
and understanding what it entails
and knowing what it takes for a quarterback
to even insult him with that clause
was a bunch of bullshit.
I'm just saying.
That's how I feel.
It was insulting. It was insulting and embarrassing.
It wasn't insulting
for him that the iPad was showing
that he wasn't putting the hours in. Why do you keep saying
the iPad? I didn't see
the report about that.
You ever notice how you be thinking of something
and your phone will tell you
what you're thinking about and you didn't say a word?
Right. Yeah, you ever wondered that? Like, well like well damn i didn't know what i was i was
just thinking that oh i didn't know i was thinking that i see you going man look here and plus i
gotta i gotta oh sure that's what you're gonna do yeah you said you said if you were to get married
let's just say you want with rail.
You will have a prenup. Why you put a prenup in there? Do you know what that woman had to get you do to propose to her?
And now you don't trust her. Oh, I like this.
See, I like this game because I like to flip it back on you.
Do you know what that woman had to do to get Ocho to take her out, take her serious and ask her hand in marriage?
But now you want protections
against yourself. Why?
Well, just in case.
Just in case, because in the Bible,
wait, let me finish that.
In the Bible,
it said, protect thee self
for ye never
knoweth.
You made that up.
That's Ocho 412. No, no, no, no. That's in the Bible. Protect
thee self for ye ever knoweth what may happen. Yeah. I'm telling you, it's in the Bible.
Is that applicable to the Cardinals? It is. It is. But again, I still think it's insulting.
That's something that you shouldn't, that you shouldn't put that kind of language in a contract.
Because what are you telling me? What are you telling me as a player?
What are you telling her when you get that pre-nup? What are you telling her?
I like what you're doing with this. I like I like I like what you're doing.
It's a good one. That's a good one. Hey, I like that's a good one.
And you got me up against the wall right now. I'm trying to fight. I'm trying to fight, but I'm missing all the punches.
you got me up against the wall right now. I'm trying to fight.
I'm trying to fight,
but I'm missing all the punches.
That's a good,
but I think Kyla,
you know,
Johnny Manziel said,
Kyler Murray is the greatest high school,
Texas player in high school history.
He says it's him.
He didn't lose a game in high school.
He went,
well,
he went for like 40 something and oh,
he won three straight championships in Texas.
Biggest division at Allen,
Texas.
He had over 4,000 yards rushing with almost 70 touchdowns, over 10,000 yard passing with 117 touchdowns.
And that's Texas. And we know the guys that have come out of Texas.
The ballers. They got some ballers in Texas.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They got some ballers in Texas.
He said the greatest player. He didn't say quarterback. He said player. And we know from Earl Campbell to Eric Dickerson to Matthew Stafford to B.Y.
to all those guys.
Nick Foles, Drew Brees, Case Keenum.
They've had some boys come about it now, boy.
They've had some boys come about it now.
They absolutely have.
But I'm happy.
I just want Kyler to get healthy.
But you know, Ocho, there are certain sacrifices.
Even you, as much as you like to play,
there are certain things that you have to sacrifice
to be great at this game.
Most definitely.
I mean, you got a lot of homeboys that want to go out,
and you're like, bro, I can't do that tonight.
I got to get this game taken.
Right.
I understand. I think your approach to the game is a little different than most
people's. You went to the extreme. I don't know you just by hearing your stories. You went to the
extreme. For me, you don't know much about me, but when I played Unc, man, I practiced.
It was something wrong with me. I took all the goddamn rips. I took scout team. I ran down on
special teams. I was embedded.
But once I left that facility,
once I left that facility, Unc,
that was me time. That was me time.
And my me time was spent playing FIFA.
My me time was spent playing Madden
to reset and get a mental reset
to get away from the game of football
until the next day. Boom. Then I'm
locked back in. I reset in off season.
I reset in off season. Nah, see, then I'm locked back in. I reset in off-season. I think I, huh? I reset in off-season.
Nah, see, nah, you used to, again,
and you live your life like this as well right now.
You work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
You have no break.
You can't live your life like that.
It's work for you because you've done it for so long.
But for the younger kids and the younger generation,
that might not be good.
It might not be good.
It's great to love and play the game at the highest level.
But at some point, you got to have a little balance.
You got to have a little balance.
And at times, you can be great and have that balance as well.
I don't believe you can have balance to greatness.
Do you think Michael Jordan had balance?
Yes.
Do you think Serena would?
No, he didn't.
Yes, he did.
What was one of the one things that Michael Jordan loved to do outside of basketball?
Matter of fact, he even did it during the season.
What's the one thing he loves to do?
Bingo.
Kyler Murray loves to play video games like I do.
Many, matter of fact.
Oh, you know, listen.
I know we're talking about Kyler Murray.
Yeah.
But we talk about 95% of the NFL.
All of them young bulls play video games.
All of them.
You know why?
There's only a handful of teams that win.
Think about the teams that win.
They had nothing to do with it.
Okay.
Come on now.
Come on.
So you're saying if they put the video game down, all of a sudden they're going to win?
No.
I'm just saying.
No.
There's a reason why there's only been a handful of truly, truly great
quarterback. And I keep asking you
about Peyton. Oh, come on now. I'm just
asking you. I'm asking you about Peyton.
I'm asking you about Brady.
Take the great quarterback. Okay, let's
just take now in the social
media era. Yes, sir.
Let's take Patrick Holmes.
How much video games do you think he's playing?
He plays them. I'm just asking. Because I play against him. You want me to do you think he's playing? He plays them.
I'm just asking.
Because I play against him.
You want me to tell you
what he plays?
He plays Call of Duty.
Okay.
How much do you think
Peyton and Brady play?
How much do you think
Breeze play?
I don't know.
Maybe that's not their thing.
So what's their thing?
Let's talk about
the makeup of the team
these quarterbacks
were surrounded with.
They were surrounded with greatness as well.
So let me ask you a question.
They helped them propel themselves.
It's not because they weren't playing video games.
Let's understand why they were great.
They were great in their own right
with a superior supporting cast around them.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes, sir.
If I took Patrick Mahomes and put him on Baltimore,
how good do you think they would be?
Holy shit.
Why you say that?
Lamar had that team.
You told me the Baltimore Ravens,
top to bottom, had the best roster in football.
So why you saying holy shit?
I mean, it would
be nice. You take Lamar
Jackson and put him in the Chiefs, you get the same thing.
But go ahead. Are you serious?
Yeah, ain't nothing
wrong with Lamar. Lamar is dynamic.
Lamar is dynamic in his own right
If I put Lamar
On Kansas City, they win in the Super Bowl
Yeah, offensively
It would be a different offensive dynamic
It would be a different offensive dynamic
You have a great defense, you still got Spags
You got Andy Reid, who knows
Listen, stay with me now
Lamar Jackson and Todd Munkin
Had a great year together Can you imagine Lamar Jackson and Todd Munkin had a great year together.
Yes.
Can you imagine Lamar Jackson
and motherfucking Andy Reid?
Boy, picture that.
You talk about Picasso,
you thought Picasso was creative
in what he did?
Now imagine goddamn Andy Reid
and Lamar Jackson.
So you're saying it's not Patrick Mahomes,
it's Andy Reid.
No, I'm saying, no, no,
because he's great.
He would be great.
There are 32 teams. There are 31 other
teams outside of the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes can go on to other 31
teams and he will
be a difference maker
because of who he is, because of the skill set
that he has. Is he better
in Cincinnati's offense than Joe Burrow?
Because that's the question.
When I pose
these questions to you, I'm asking you,
are they better or worse?
So if I take Lamar
and put him in Cincinnati.
But then, you know what?
Look, you put him in Cincinnati,
the offense has to change completely
based on the type of quarterback we have.
Everything changes.
So we don't know.
It's a hypothetical,
but again,
there's a certain type of offense that Lamar runs and a certain type of offense that Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow runs.
It's completely different.
Based on the style of quarterback we talk about.
You know that.
Again, I like it.
I like the dynamic because you're naming the cream of the crop when it comes to NFL quarterbacks.
But I'm asking.
Their styles of play are different.
And it's all on preference and based on who you like.
But that's my point.
I'm saying cream of the crop
and the preparation that it takes
to become cream of the crop.
I believe in order to become that,
you have to do what others want or can't.
And sometimes you got to do both.
Right.
Okay.
I got you.
So Brady didn't have
the God-given ability.
Manning didn't have
the God-given ability,
say, a Lamar or Patrick Mahomes.
But what they had to do was this.
I had to outthink you. I had to know what you were going to do before you actually did it.
So I didn't because I can't run away from anybody.
I ain't getting away from nobody.
Them guys going to chase me down every time.
That's why I can play two-man against Peyton. That's why I can play
two-man against Brady. Where they going?
Okay, they might scramble and get eight yards,
but they're not gonna hit their head on the goalpost
like you do with Lamar or like they would
with Josh Allen. Patrick Mahomes gonna
get you 25-30 because we've
seen him do it, take off running.
And so that's all I'm saying. I just believe
for me that in order
to be great,
you're going to have to do things that others don't not do it.
And you're going to have to sacrifice.
Did I want to do certain things?
Yes.
But for me studying that game tape at home,
so I knew.
So when I saw it,
man,
I remember watching this thing Wednesday night,
here come that foot.
Yeah.
They line up in this formation.
It's coming.
They finna run this call,
this cross book.
Right. And lo and behold, here come that foot. Yeah, they line up in this formation. It's coming. They finna run this cross book.
And lo and behold,
nothing made me feel better than when I studied.
Look, watching it with the team is one thing,
but when I can find it on my own.
I don't like watching it.
I don't like watching it with the team.
Man, when I can find it on my own, Ocho.
Yeah, yeah.

Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.
A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian,
now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church
and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.
Voila! You got straight away.
I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in
North Korea, but worse, if that's
possible. Listen to Spiraled on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
So, we're on the same page with that.
I love studying tape.
Let's think about this real quick, right?
People get caught up
in the flamboyant stuff I did, the antics, the trash talking, the bulletin board material that I purposely put out every week for a decade, maybe 11 years straight on Wednesdays, right?
Yes.
Do you understand the type of studying I had to do to be able to talk trash and say the things I said before we even played game day?
Yeah, for sure.
Sure. Think about it. I mean, people don't see that side of it. So the only reason I'm arguing back and forth is because I understand the time and studying that I had to do to be on point,
to be able to talk and be able to go out there and walk it. So I understand what you're saying
a little bit, but then I'm just thinking about, I'm taking it back to myself, not putting myself
in the quarterback position, but I understood I had to have that mental reset to be able to,
once I'm away from work, boom, I got to decompress.
I got to reset mentally.
I need this gaming to be my outlet and my peace of mind away from the game.
Next morning, 6 a.m., boom, I'm back at it and I'm locked in.
But again, to your point, you probably are right, though.
Here's what Patrick Mahomes said about playing Call of Duty in 2019.
Many NFL players bring their game consoles with them on the road during the season.
Mahomes says, not him.
I try to make sure I can focus on the game plan
the night before the game.
During the season, I try to have my set schedules.
I do get like two hours in a week
on Monday or Friday to kind of blow some steam.
But the off season is really when I get my grind
and play the three to four hours at a time.
Now you heard what is,
I'm just saying what he said.
We can move on.
Ain't no,
ain't no sense in us belaboring anymore.
How many times you said something purposely knowing that you,
he said he plays Monday.
Listen,
I said,
I said a lot of things too to the media because I,
I have to,
I'm the quarterback.
I'm the face of the franchise.
I have to say all the right things.
Like you said, you do realize like that because that's what you have to do.
Like you said,
you do realize,
like that person that's
shacking Taylor Swift,
yeah.
You know people can track this, right?
Oh, they don't know
Mahomes' game attack.
They don't know the game attack.
It's not public.
I'm sure they do.
No, I'm telling you they don't
because I'd be on with him.
Okay.
NFL GM of CJ Stroud,
S2 test.
It was complete BS
that it was leaked.
Stroud- Hey, that's some fuck shit.
Hold on.
Stroud's draft journey has some speed bumps,
including his S2 cognitive test, cognition test,
which resulted being leaked publicly during pre-jab process.
He reportedly scored just in the 18th percentile,
calling into question for some people if he should be the first quarterback selected.
Bryce Young went number one overall in the Panthers, reportedly.
He scored in the 98th percentile.
And now it's reported today Marvin Harrison Jr.
is not expected to do any testing at the 2024 Scouting Combine this week.
Harrison probably will not test at ohio state's pro day either what's
what's i mean we can take we can take cj's uh issue first and then i want to get to you and see
what was your combine experience like so cj it was leaked because we've seen the leak test before
um they do they they leaked vince young and he And he scored an 8
And so
It's funny how they leak certain players
They doing it on purpose
Of course they do
It's a sabotage
They do it on purpose
Anything to get your stock to fall
But listen there's one thing I never understood
When it comes to scouts when it comes to owners
They put so much emphasis
On certain things that have nothing to do with the game of football in general.
Nothing to do with the game of football in general.
Yeah.
Vince Young, CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, and all the other greats that are taking these tests that to some, it has some type of degree of merit of valid validity when it comes to playing football.
Turn on the goddamn tape. Turn on the goddamn tape.
We know.
Turn on the goddamn tape.
Yeah.
Turn on the goddamn tape.
What do you see CJ Stroud doing at goddamn Ohio State?
Turn on the goddamn tape.
What did you see Vince Young doing at Texas?
Turn on the tape and tell me what you saw Bryce Young doing in Alabama.
I don't care.
Nothing about
no goddamn test scores, because ain't no test scores and no test going on in between them
fucking lines. Right.
At all. None at all. It had nothing. Another thing they put so much emphasis on, the goddamn
40-yard dash. Can you please tell me the last time the game of football was played in a straight motherfucking.
Oh, why am I cursing so much?
I'm sorry.
Please tell me the last time the game of football was played in a straight line.
Never.
No, it's good.
It's good to be fast.
Everybody in the NFL is fast.
It's good.
It's a great.
It's a great weapon to have.
But do you have to be fast?
Absolutely not. Can you get from point A to point B But do you have to be fast? Absolutely not.
Can you get from point A to point B fast
within the timing of the offense?
Can you stop?
Can you get off bump and run?
Can you beat man to man?
Can you read?
There's so many other facets to the game
as far as it comes to playing the game
as receiver.
Well, you don't have to be running
4-2 and 4-3 and 4-4, 4-5.
You got, what did Jerry Rice run? 4-2 and 4-3 and 4-4, 4-5. You got, what did Jerry Rice run?
4-6.
Again, the most complete receiver considered.
He is the greatest of all time.
Like, it's just some of these rules and some of the things that they look at as owners and scouts.
It's fucking, oh my God.
It's ridiculous.
I'm sorry.
I think, Ocho, for me, I agree with you.
I just want,
I want the combine
to confirm what I saw on tape.
If he plays fast,
let's see if he runs fast.
If he's good
from point A to point B, let's see
how his short shuttle
is. That's all
the combine
is supposed to do
is offer you confirmation
for what you saw on tape.
If the guy's explosive,
let me see his vertical,
let me see his standing broad jump.
When I saw Michael Parsons
and I saw his test,
he confirmed what I saw,
that he was explosive,
that he was fast
from point A to point B.
That's all I,
all I needed,
all I needed was to come by to confirm.
Now,
sometimes Ocho,
we get a situation where the guy like,
well,
damn,
a guy like that.
He didn't look this fast on tape.
Maybe I,
maybe I missed something.
So let me go back and watch some more tape or maybe Ocho,
man,
damn,
he played faster than this on tape.
Let me see why he's not running faster.
Test it.
Right.
There's a funny thing.
There's a thing.
People that carry their pads well.
I know you heard that saying, right?
Yes.
Some people carry their pads well.
When they have the pads on,
you could be a 4'6",
but when you put your pads on,
you run a 4'3".
I don't know if that's going to make sense
to the people in the chat,
but it just does. There's some people that run a 4'3", and they put the pads on, you run a 4-3. I don't know if that's going to make sense to the people in the chat, but it just does.
There's some people that run a 4-3 and they put the pads on
and they run a 4-6. They don't play as fast
as they run or run fast as they play.
Running fast are entirely two different things.
Completely different.
Especially once you put the pads on.
Then you have people like Tyreek Hill.
You have people like Chris Johnson.
You got people like John Ross.
There's some other names.
No, you got John Ross. He ran fast.
He didn't play fast.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Now you look at Tyreek and you look at CJ.
Those were the guys that could control
that speed. There are very few guys that
can run as fast as those guys that
can control the speed. That's why you don't see
very many track guys.
For every Bob Hayes
who changed the game
because before he came along,
all they played was man coverage.
Well, you got a guy
that's the Olympic gold medalist,
and how you going to play
man coverage on him?
No, you can't.
You better come up with a goal.
You better play with a goal
because he going to take
the top off every time.
And then you get guys like,
like, who is that?
Like Sam Grady.
Guy that won the silver medal
in the 100 meters.
He was on the Olympic gold.
But he couldn't control the speed.
You get some guys
like Tyreek. Tyreek, I believe,
had he trained, I'm not saying
he could have made the Olympics, but
he had Olympic speed.
Oh yeah, he does. Making the Olympics
is all about peaking at the trials.
Because we've seen guys run
fast, but not run fast at the trials.
And then it's all for naught.
But you get a guy like a Chris Johnson that runs 4-2-2.
I mean, 4-2-4.
And you watch him play.
He ran.
He played like he ran.
Just as fast as he ran.
Yeah.
And some people don't do that.
You can tell Tyreek.
Even if you don't know anything about the game of football,
if you watch Tyreek Hill play,
you can say, oh, hell yeah.
Because I've never seen a guy accelerate like Tyreek.
I've seen guys fast,
but I've never seen a guy can go in one step
and he full speed.
You know what the funny thing about it is?
If you take most of the, let's say,
the top five sprinters right now,
the top five sprinters in the U.S.,, let's say the top five sprinters right now, the top five sprinters in the
U.S., or just worldwide, the top five sprinters,
if you could teach them the
small nuances of being
able to play receiver,
which would be hard,
it'd be hard to do, but just,
oh my goodness.
That wouldn't be fair.
It wouldn't be fair. Because what is it about
a guy that's fast?
It's deceleration and accelerating.
Because what you see about guys, they throw that blink on.
That's a lot of speed because it's like going 100 miles an hour.
I don't care how good your brakes are.
It's going to take you a while to stop.
What Tyreek has been able to do is being able to control that speed.
He's able to get in and out of that break. He could get up and run the comeback. He could
get up, run the D, run the over.
And the funny thing about Tyreek is, which I love about him, is the threat of people
already knowing he's fast and he never has to run full speed. He can give the illusion
that he's moving fast and
because he's already short and the legs be turning but you never know if he's really at top speed or
not because he didn't have to use it because you're already scared right you're already scared yes
and he has he's a he has track speed in a football body well yeah you look at most track guys they're
thin frame you gotta be because
the lighter you are
the faster you can go it's just like anything
you look at Formula 1 cars
they're light as hell
it's just a shell because I want to be light
there's a reason why a cheetah cannot
run a lion there's a reason why a cheetah
cannot run an elephant because it's the size
ratio well as a football
player a track guy,
those guys are fiend.
You look at Noah Lyles,
you look at Curley, you look at
Rod Benjamin, Norman, all the...
I'm just talking to Americans. Look at them.
They fiend.
You look at Tyreek.
I don't think there's ever been a buff
like a
buff or a person of size that was actually fast i think
they have guys that that are short yeah ben john ben johnson yeah he's on that bruh man though so
he don't count but you look at you look at guys like a henry neal that was compact and christian
coleman has a has some size uh but they yeah, yeah. But they're like...
He's short, he's short.
Right.
But if you look at this,
they're normally thin.
They're normally thin.
You're talking about...
I'm thinking Noah Lyles probably weighs 160, 165, maybe.
Maybe 155.
Hey, since we're on the topic of speed,
what you think them boys were running the 40?
Like if... We're talking about Noah Louse,
Fred Curley, Christian Coleman,
if they was to go run the 40-yard dash.
In blocks or no blocks?
I mean... Let's do no
blocks because Christian Coleman probably
would be somewhere if, with
his start,
he probably could run sub 4-2.
You think so? Yeah, for
sure. I think he's going faster than that, man. Sub 4-2. You think so? Yeah, for sure.
I think he's going faster than that, man.
Club 4-2.
But now you have to understand.
Now, you said, okay, you got to give him like two,
like you give him six weeks, and he's just going to train.
Like these guys go to Arizona or Florida or California.
All they do is train.
Right.
They're training. Because these guys, they're training for the 100 meters.
They're training for 200.
So all I want you to do for six weeks is to train for
the 40. Oh, he going to run.
That's damn near their drive phase.
I can see them running the 40.
Listen, don't call me crazy if you want.
I'm thinking I can see them running a 3.9
or 4 flat. Simply because
they're driving. I think Stanley Floyd, he's from
Doherty High School in Georgia. I think
he might have ran three nine because he raced
a horse one time on
they used to have like race
horses. I think Stanley Floyd might have
who has the fastest 40 time ever
recorded.
I remember, I know you don't remember
Ron Brown.
He played with the Rams. In my't remember Ron Brown he played with the Rams
in my time like Ron Brown
Sam Grady
they called him Dada, Willie Gaunt
Willie Gaunt from Georgia, Sam Grady from Georgia
who else ran
James Jett
James Jett was on the gold medal team
in 92
he played with the Raiders
he ran on his toes you talking about can run man he caught a cross around on us James Jett was on the gold medal team in 92. I remember James Jett. He played with the Raiders.
He ran on his toes.
You're talking about can run?
Man, he caught a cross around on us.
Yeah.
Out of there.
What?
But see, the Raiders had like a track team.
I mean, they had like- Willie Gault was there?
Willie Gault.
They had Willie Gault.
Dada Samgrady.
They had Swervin' Mervin' from Menendez.
Tim Brown.
Oh, they were loaded.
Yeah.
They could fly.
That's dope.
Reece Stanley Floyd.
I think Stanley Floyd,
Stanley Floyd,
if he went to Doherty High School.
Hey, we have some guys that can run in Georgia now.
But yeah, that's the thing, Ocho.
That's the thing with guys and speed.
Because a lot of times,
can you control the speed?
Speed is no good on a football field
if you can't control it.
That's what it all comes down to.
It all comes down to
from time to time,
being able to not only control your speed,
but give the illusion
that you're moving fast
so you can be able to decelerate, accelerate left go right and do all the things you need to do
because obviously the game of football as you know is not played in a straight line nope no it's not
um so what what are some of your uh draft uh uh draft combine experience um i really can't remember
much it was so long ago i do remember that I did run in some
Bright, bright, bright yellow
Yellow tights
Which is weird
I ran a 4.5 at the combine
For some reason
I didn't know
I don't know about that
Because John Clayton said
You need to work on that speed
Yeah, yeah
So that went 4.5
Exactly
Listen, I went slow
I ran a 4.5
And I stumbled
I stumbled and still got
I still was able to gather myself up And still run 4.5. But then when it was time for the drills, I aced the drills.
And then obviously once I put pads on, as you can see, I played 4.3 as opposed to what my 40 times
said, which is really weird. I was nervous. I was nervous for one, obviously having to display
my skills in front of all the owners.
And it was a new experience for me.
You got to understand, I hadn't been at the Division I level.
What, I was there.
I was at Oregon State for four months.
And then now all of a sudden, here come April.
I'm at the freaking, what's the name?
Whose stadium is that again?
The Colts?
Yeah, Lucas Oil.
Yeah, I was at Lucas Oil Stadium.
And I'm in front of all these owners.
And it was like, oh my goodness, I'm excited. Like, I'm almost, like, I'm thinking to myself, like, Lucas Oil. Yeah, but I was at Lucas Oil Stadium, and I'm in front of all these owners, and it was like, oh my goodness, I'm excited.
Like, I'm almost, like, I'm thinking to myself, like, holy shit, dog, you almost there.
Like, you really finna get drafted.
I don't know where I'm getting drafted, but the fact of the matter is, I'm here at the combine, I'm gonna get drafted.
So, there's a little nervousness in me, and I didn't run a good 40 times, but it didn't matter, because when it came to doing the other tests, I aced all those
as far as running routes,
cone drills,
and all that other stuff.
And the rest was history
because you know what happened on Sundays.
There was a show called That's Incredible.
There used to be a show come on,
I think it was ABC.
It was called That's Incredible.
I know you don't remember
because I was a kid when it came on.
I remember That's Incredible.
They would do,
like he raced the horse.
Hey, you forgot.
Remember I raced, you didn't see where I raced the horse?
You lost though. He beat the horse.
I won.
Tell Ash to pull it up and show you real quick.
Listen,
that's how I know I was really
honestly, if I wasn't nervous at the combine,
I would have ran probably 4-1, 4-2.
Like, that's the kind of speed I had.
That's what you do, right?
No, no, no.
That's not what I do because it was in an unfamiliar environment.
It's like when you go on your first date, you know the butterflies in your stomach.
You know how you're nervous?
Yes.
That's how I felt because it was unfamiliar for me.
I didn't know what it was like to go to the combine.
I didn't play at a big Division I school for four years, and I'm used to the crowd and all that. It was all unfamiliar for me. I didn't know what it was like to go to the Carbine. I didn't play at a big Division I school
for four years,
and I'm used to the crowd and all that.
It was all new to me.
Did you play with a college football?
Yeah.
Okay, then.
So all that other stuff,
I'll throw that at the window.
If you can play football,
you can play football.
I went to Division I four months.
Four months, I was gone.
Yeah.
That's it.
That's all you needed.
Yeah.
I know it wasn't Lucas or... It was the RCA Dome. I was gone. Yeah. That's it. That's what you needed. Guys, I know
it wasn't Lucas Oil. It was the RCA
Dome. I get it. But we're saying
it was an Indy.
Hey, y'all just...
Wait. They getting on you about that?
Yeah. Come on, chat.
We know. Chill, chill, chill, chat.
Chill. It used to be
the combine used to be regional.
So whatever region you in, you ran there before they brought it all to Indy. I think they regional so whatever region you in you ran there
before they brought it all to Indy
I think they brought it to Indy like in 87
86, 87
I think that was the first year they had the combine
everybody used to complain about the surface
being spongy
until somebody told them guys
there's always somebody that was going to run sub
4-3 and it's like ain't nothing wrong with the Turk
I mean my year we had J.D. Williams a DB out of Fresno State he ran 4-3, and it's like, ain't nothing wrong with the Turk. I mean, my year, we had J.D. Williams, a DB
out of Fresno State. He ran 4-2-9.
What?
Oh, yeah. He ran 4-2-9.
So... What? Could he cover?
Yeah, if he had
a bed sheet over your bed.
That was the only
thing he was covering, a bed with a bed sheet.
It's all about controlling the speed
and understanding leverage and, man, I'm sorry, J.D., he came out my year in the draft, too. He was first with a bed sheet. It's all about controlling the speed and understanding leverage and positioning.
I'm sorry, J.D.
He came out back here in the draft, too.
He was first-round pick from Fresno State, Buffalo.
I could talk about that all day, man.
All day.
Damn.
What did Christian Coleman ran?
I think Christian Coleman ran 419.
Listen, I know. Coleman ran 419. Listen,
I know I beat that horse
and I beat that horse
and you know,
some people say,
oh, you got a head start.
Well, hell,
he got one more leg than I do.
What you expect?
Well, he got two more legs than you.
No, no, no.
Stay with me now.
He got a leg too though.
So he got five legs.
You only got...
Hey,
well, you caught that fast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He got, he got five then. So he still got you by two. well you caught that fast yeah yeah
he got five
so he still got you by two
you caught that fast
you know what Ocho
my draft
I had some Pegasus
Nike Pegasus
I read about 40 Nike Pegasus
wait you're supposed to be light as possible
Pegasus was heavy wasn't it Ocho man I. Wait, you're supposed to be light as possible. Pegasus was heavy, wasn't it?
Oh, man, bro, I ain't know
nothing about that, bro. I ain't have no money to go.
Waffle shoes. You ain't have no waffle shoes?
No, bro. Oh, Joe, I ain't know nothing
about that, bro. I ain't go. All I did,
all I did, I ran
100-meter sprints. Get ready.
I ain't do no shuttle drills.
I ain't do no vertical. I ain't do
no standing long. I ain't do no shuttle drills. I ain't do no vertical. I ain't do no standalone. I ain't just know.
I ain't know nothing.
So I ran.
I think I ran like a four,
six,
six or four,
six,
seven.
Oh yeah.
That's fast now for your side.
All I know,
20 that's moving now.
All I know is that when we went to,
I went to the blue gray game,
which was on Christmas day.
It was in Montgomery,
Montgomery, Alabama.
And then when I went to the East West Shrine,
it was at Palo Alto.
I just remember calling
my brother, and they had, you know,
I said, ain't no receiver here better than me.
No receiver better than me.
That's what you told them?
I told them, ain't nothing better than me.
None of them. None, none,
none, zero, zero. We went one-on-one. We had the one-on-one me. None of them. None, none, none, zero, zero.
We went one-on-one. We had the one-on-one drills.
Cooked everybody. Everybody?
Cooked them.
Speaking of, I went to the Senior Bowl.
I'll never forget. One of my favorites.
Will always be one of my favorite players.
Always one of my favorite players from Mississippi State.
That goddamn Fred Smoove.
Okay. That goddamn
Fred Smoove, man. One of the greatest personalities,
one of the greatest human beings
I ever met, man.
I don't get to see him
as often as I'd like,
but man,
every time I saw Fred, man,
it was always love.
When we played,
when we played Minnesota,
when we was in Minnesota,
you talk about talking some shit,
man, we talk hella shit, man,
before the game.
I love Fred.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up.
In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila
caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.
A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron

We about to go ahead and chalk it up.
We were so slow in the combine. I'm known for Ocho we were so slow Ocho you know what we about to go ahead and chalk it up we were so slow
in the combine
I'm mad
hey give me the name
of the person who
motherfucking made
that goddamn grading system man
hey don't go back
and run it
cause you gonna be worse
than you were 20 years ago
oh I could
oh no no no
listen I've been training
for boxing and soccer
right now
so I could run
I could run by the 4-6
right now still
who the fastest
who has the fastest
40 time as a boxer?
Because it don't matter.
Because you can't run fast in that square.
Man, they got me.
How the hell did...
Man, look here.
Ochoa was just meant to be.
How the hell they got me out of 37, you out of 38?
Man, that kind of hurt.
That kind of hurt a little bit.
Because that's how they really felt and thought about me, man. I got an F.
I ain't seen an F in a long time.
Damn, you shouldn't have showed me that.
Yeah, they got both of them.
I told you.
That F stands for fantastic or fabulous.
Man, they got
a blunt failure.
Man. How are we going to get a 37 out of 38? failure man
how are we going to get
how are we going to get
a 37 and a 38
this is the problem
the people that they have
in positions of power
that are judging these players
don't know what the hell
they talking about
or what they looking for
that's why they need
that's why they need my eyes
they need my eyes
at the combine
guess what they couldn't
they can measure my height
they can measure my speed my my strength, my quickness, my jumping ability.
You can't measure that.
Ever.
Can't measure that.
So what you'll get.
See, if you gave me 100 for this right here, it would compensate for everything else that you can measure.
Yeah.
Sometimes it's the immeasurables.
Yeah.
What you can't see.
Yeah. My desire can't see. Yeah.
My desire to get my...
All you had to do was just sit down for just a second
and ask what motivated Shannon Sharp.
And you said, we're going to take that guy in the first round.
Come on now.
You see, that's the problem.
See, all you think about, what did the tape...
You forgot.
You disregarded everything that you saw on tape.
Right.
And now you're going to say,
well, we're going to disregard
that he had 192 catches,
40 touchdowns.
We're going to disregard
that 3,800 yards.
That don't mean nothing.
Right.
So now it comes down
to one day.
Okay.
Shit, that don't mean nothing.
Okay.
I don't remember the last time
anybody ever running
a long jump on the field
when the ball snapped.
I don't remember nobody running
no shuttle back and forth
when the ball snapped.
No.
I ain't never said
I was going to the Olympics.
Listen, I need the person's name
who gave me that F.
I need to write them a letter.
I need to write them a letter. I'm going to write them a letter
and say thank you.
I ain't saying thank you. He going to get a piece of my
mind.
Shit.
Every word I use is going to start with F too.
Christian Coleman
ran a 4-2-1
40.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you understand? I don't think people understand how fast that is. They. Okay. And you know what? Do you understand?
Oh, Joe.
I don't think people understand
how fast that is.
They don't.
No, they don't.
They would have...
I said 412.
What did I say?
421?
He ran a 412.
Okay.
I knew it.
When you said 412,
I'm like, huh?
412.
He gets out so goddamn fast.
He has the greatest start
of anybody I've ever seen.
Yes.
The greatest start of anybody I've ever seen. He gets out so fast fast. He has the greatest start of anybody I've ever seen. Yes. The greatest start of anybody I've ever seen. He gets out
so fast and the ability, the
fact that he can hold it.
He can hold it.
That drive phase. Well, all of them.
All of those top athletes that run.
You got to
see them. I'm going to
try to catch the Olympic trials
up in Eugene. Because you got to see you look like you see speed.
But you get you get.
It's like in my sport.
I've seen great football players.
I know what a great football player is.
And I've been to NBA games.
So I know what a great basketball player is.
But to watch the guys run and the difference between first and fifth or first and sixth is that.
And you know the funny thing? I don't think very many people outside of those that attract fans
don't understand how fast these individuals are moving until you actually in that atmosphere.
You got to be in that atmosphere to get an appreciation for what you see on TV.
Because watching from TV does you no justice at all until you actually see it up close and in person.
It's amazing. It's amazing to see.
Yeah, but I don't know why I keep saying I keep in my mind that Stanley Floyd, Stanley Floyd was an amazing sprinter.
They boycotted the Moscow Olympics in 1980lympics in uh in 1980 because of the soviet union
invasion into afghanistan and then the soviets replayed repaid us the favor by not coming in 84
uh in the la olympics um and then you know everybody reconvened in 1988 at seoul right uh
but to just watch those to watch those sprinters i mean track and field is my those, to watch those sprinters. I mean, track and field
is my favorite sport to watch.
Of all the sports,
football, basketball, whatever,
give me track and field.
First, yeah,
obviously, you know,
soccer's mine,
and football,
football and,
well, soccer's mine,
and boxing,
and boxing and football
is neck and neck.
Yeah.
Neck and neck.
Man, damn.
I wish I could have got
one more thing right.
Can't let you have
a better grade than me, man.
Hey, I'm a 38.
38.
That is it.
So in other words, Ocho,
you know I should have been drafted.
At least you got drafted
in the second round with a 38.
I went in the seventh round.
Oh, listen.
You know why I went second?
Because that's how well I tested
when it came to all those other drills that had
nothing to do with
the film. Whatever
drill you can do.
But that catch and drill,
the gauntlet and the running routes, when they see
them running routes, oh, it was a wrap.
It was a wrap. That 40 times
meant nothing. And then the senior bowl,
when I went to the senior bowl
That solidified everything
You cooking them?
That senior bowl solidified everything
It was a wrap
But you talk about cooking
I ain't even no chef
I was out there cooking
Like I went to four years
Of culinary art school, bro
But you do
I'm giving them boys that business
You hear me?
Oh, Joe
You know who I miss
Now that you mentioned it, man
I wonder where they are
Quincy Morgan Quincy Morgan.
Quincy Morgan was in the draft for me that year.
God damn. Mike Vick obviously went first.
I'm trying to think of the receivers. I can't think of the receivers
from
God damn.
It's slipping my mind.
Who else? Remember Rod Gardner?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rod came out that year. I talk to Rod all the time, man. That's a good dude. Damn Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He went to Washington. Rod came out that year.
I talk to Rod all the time, man.
That's a good dude.
Damn, I miss those dudes, man.
Once I retired, he worked out with me a little while.
I worked out with him.
Hey, boy, Rod.
Yo, boy, Rod.
Yo, what?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Damn.
Oh, Joe.
Who do you trust to lead a game-winning drive?
Okay, you got Josh Allen.
You got Lamar Jackson.
You got Joe Burrow.
You got Justin Herbert.
You got CJ Stroud.
Okay. Josh Allen
Joe Burrow
Lamar
Justin Herbert
Lamar Jackson
And CJ Stroud
If you notice now
Hold on
Game winning drive
Yes
I'm going with Joe
Okay
I'm going with Joe Okay I'm going with Joe
And before we go on
Let me tell the chat why I'm going with Joe
All the quarterbacks you name are great
They're great in their own right
Josh is great, Lamar Jackson has done
Obviously two time MVP
Justin Herbert is good
CJ Shroud
Hell of a motherfucking season last year
But again, Joe Burrow since
2021 has five fourth quarter
comebacks, two game winning drives,
two postseason
game winning drives,
one versus the Titans, one versus the Chiefs
in 2021, and
that's it.
That's enough. That's it. That's enough.
And that's why I'm going with him.
Yeah, you're not going to get any disagreement for you because I want to see him in the most pressurized situation, which is the NFL playoffs.
And in the NFL playoffs, and he's done both of those on the road.
So you go on the road against Tennessee.
You go on the road against an AFC championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, who had just went to the Super Bowl the previous year.
Hey, you get no argument from me.
But that was a, I mean,
the guy that would be the last one I would pick
would be Justin Herbert.
Justin Herbert.
I mean, he hasn't been in the situation at all.
He hasn't been in that situation at all.
Oh, he's had some opportunities.
He just come up small in most of them.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely.
Most definitely.
I think things will change, though, with Harbaugh over there.
Things are going to change.
They're going to run the ball.
What running back? Because they didn't sign
Eckler back. That's okay. They're going to go get
one.
They got Saquon on the market, unless
they franchise him. Derrick Henry
is going to be available. They already said
they're not going to franchise him again. Not at 12 million a year.
They already said they're going to hit the market.
Saquon possibly available.
You got Derrick Henry.
You got those two guys in Baltimore.
J.K. Dobbins is coming out for knee injury.
You got Gus Edwards.
Yo, since you just said that,
well, imagine if goddamn Derrick Henry go to Baltimore.
You like Derrick Henry or you like Saquon better?
For that offense, I think Saquon is a different style of back he gives you a little bit more but Derek Henry in that offense remind
very reminiscent of like Jamal Lewis all over again boy boy, boy, stop.
It definitely be interesting to see what Baltimore is going to do
with the running back situation.
Mitchell got hurt.
I played with his dad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did too.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You play, you play safety for us.
So he's probably going to take,
he's probably going to, I don't know. I don't know if they started off on pump or how soon he's probably going to take it. He's probably going to – I don't know if they started off on Puck
or how soon he's young.
And the way they do the surgery now, man,
these guys coming back in record time from ACL surgery.
But, you know, there's going to be some guys available.
You know, there's always guys in the draft.
The one thing about the Ravens, they're not afraid to draft a running back.
But it's going to be very – that would be very, very interesting to see what direction the Ravens, they're not afraid to draft a running back but it's going to be very, that'd be very, very
interesting to see what direction the Ravens
go in because they're pretty solid
everything else, nice offensive line
Lamar, MVP
you got Zay Flowers, you got
Bateman, Andrew's going to come back
healthy, you got Likely
who else they got, They got Duvernay.
I think they only signed Aguilar for a year.
They got Odell.
Odell is a free agent again.
So I think they got a nice squad coming back.
Maybe a piece.
The question is, what are they going to do with Queen?
He's a free agent.
I don't think they're going to franchise him.
That number's going to be too big.
Are they going to bring Marlon Humphrey back?
He's probably got a big cap number, getting a little long in the tooth.
Injuries are starting to happen with greater regularity.
Oh, Joe, you know you're making big dollars,
and them injuries start to creep up on you.
He's approaching 30.
If he's not 30, how old is Marlon Humphrey, Ash?
They going to use it against
you every time. Absolutely.
Especially, you know, the
injury, the injury bug. You're starting to...
Marlon Humphrey's only 27?
God, that's it?
Oh, he good. He good for another
three. He good for another three.
But that number, what's his cap number?
That's the question, Ocho. What's his cap number? That's the question, Ojo.
What's that cap number?
You think it's that high?
I don't think so.
He got a big contract at the time.
Now, maybe they reworked it.
22.8.
It's a big number.
What you think?
Maybe add some restructure?
Yeah.
Add some restructure. Load. Add some restructure,
load it up,
give him some,
give him some upfront money
and put in the form
of a signing bonus?
Yep.
