Ocho, let's jump right into it.
Tom Brady got roasted.
They tore his ass up too. They got him good. You know what? I didn't get a chance to see it. I saw a few clips on Twitter.
I'm sure you probably saw more than I did. I just have one question. I'm sure you're very
familiar with the roast that I talked about earlier when we talked about roast as far as
everything being a green light, especially back in those days where nothing was really frowned upon
and everything, and when I say
everything, was a green light, even
the jokes that had a little bit of racist
undertone, the watermelon jokes, the chicken jokes.
Was it anything like
that or was it a PC
roast?
No, it wasn't no PC. They tore
his ass up. And I could
admit, and probably from the very beginning he
realized what the hell because you have to understand look a roast in and of itself like
even though we don't have cameras and all that when we roast one another we had the barbershop
we had to get together with the boys we roasted we bring you had to sometimes roast what do they roast lead to a fight because
you're making too personal yeah yeah see now so in that situation man they bringing up stuff man
hey hey they brought up something about mr craft he didn't seem to press i think some uh comedian
said hey uh i thought i was gonna get a a massage. Make a reference to Mr. Kraft and Tom's like,
hey, don't say that. You can't do that.
Rule number one, when it comes to roasting,
you do not interrupt the person
roasting at all.
You cannot interrupt the roast. That is the whole
point of a roast, especially one of this magnitude
with a polarizing
figure like Tom Brady. You got to sit there
and take it. Did they roast
the relationship between
Giselle and her trainer?
Did anybody? Yeah.
They went there?
Bro, that's a roast. I'm telling you,
that's when you've been around situations
where guys just start out joking. We
call it joning, call it roasting, whatever
they call it to be. And it gets
out of hand. It starts to get personal.
It starts to trade into a situation, oh, your girl, oh, your wife, oh, your kid. And it gets out of hand. It starts to get personal. It starts to trade into a
situation. Oh, your girl.
Oh, your wife. Oh, your kid.
But in this situation,
this is what you signed up for.
So, again,
you have to be careful. Me?
Could I roast somebody? Absolutely.
Can you take it?
Could I get roasted? Oh, no.
Absolutely not.
I could never.
You can't take no roasting?
No, because here's the thing.
The guys that you're going to need to roast me,
they know everything.
That's the point.
You get Bucket, you get Burns,
you get some of the guys that's been around me for 30 years,
they know all the bodies are.
Right, right,
right.
Yeah.
But call low shade out of the test.
Somebody else.
Let him have it.
Am I the whole,
the whole night.
I like it.
I think obviously because of my personality,
because I am,
I'm pretty easy going.
I could probably,
I could sit through a roast because I'm so, I'm so easygoing. I could probably, I could sit through a roast
because I'm so used to jonesing or ranking,
whatever you call it, wherever you're from.
I would enjoy that.
I would enjoy that.
If there's anything that you've done
that you're not proud about,
you're going to bring that up.
That's a part of roasting, I understand that.
That's a part of roasting.
I know.
You say, see, it's easy to say that until you.
And it's like it's like being in that chair in that interrogate room.
Man, I ain't going to tell him nothing.
And then they come in and they start throwing pictures and they start talking about such and such.
Hold on.
You know about that.
And they talk about what this is.
This is a murder.
This is a death sentence case.
This is a capital murder.
You've seen the first 48
when they in Memphis. This is the first 48
that lived in Liberty City. Oh, yes. I remember.
Clear as day.
Now, all of a sudden, they're talking about
that's a death. Hey, they're going to put that needle
in your arm. Oh, yeah. I know.
Mama not going to be able to hug you.
Granny ain't going to be able to see you no more.
You know what? When it comes to me, obviously,
I think your life has been a little bit more private
as opposed to mine.
Everything I've done,
I've always lived publicly.
Always.
So my goods were public
and my lows were public.
You understand where I'm going?
So I was never one to hide behind
social media or tuck my tail.
When I made my mistakes mistakes i made it with
my head high yeah i took responsibility and just and went on about my day trying to recover and do
all the right things to right my wrongs if if i might say so that's why i say someone like someone
like myself if it came to a roast i can take that because i've had the brunt of the bad in front of the world.
So, I mean, it wouldn't be no issue.
Yeah,
see, for me,
like when my boys, me, Joni,
I don't even they say stuff, it don't even bother me.
That's a small crowd.
But see, now you're talking
about people that you don't know and you don't have
a relationship with you. Joni, or Roastie. But see, now you're talking about people that you don't know and you don't have a relationship with you.
Yeah. Joni or Rose or Roasted. That's what you know.
And you and I, we go back and forth with each other. But you and I have a personal relationship.
I wouldn't dare let somebody say some of the things that what you be taught, how you be taught.
Oh, no. Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
mm-mm hell to the no
but see that's the whole point
of having a roast because
now you're getting people but in a roast
a lot of times they start off
that's what they do these are comedians
like the first 10-15
guys that roast your ass they've
been doing this 10-15-30 years
you had the Carol Burnett
you had the Don Rickles you had the Rodney
Dangerfields you had the Will Wilson the Richard P had the Dawn Rickles, you had the Rodney Dangerfields you had the Bill Wilson, the Richard Pryor
all those
would let you have it
what's up girl
Esther from Samson and Son
what's her regular name
oh my goodness boy
hey boy she was so funny
on that goddamn roast with Dean Martin
man
Dean Martin, oh they got tapes with Dean Martin, man. Dean Martin.
Classic.
You know, they got tapes.
They got tapes with Dean Martin.
You could get like 20 tapes of celebrity roasts.
Where they lighting people up. Everybody.
Yeah.
Now, like I said, going to an HBCU, if you can't jump, you can't roast, I don't know how you make it.
I don't know how you make it. I don't know how you make it.
And we used to have the Roses like, we just go to each other's
room and we just Joan each other. I'm talking
about Joni. I'm talking about, oh,
yeah. As a matter
of fact, my old teammate
Red Grant. Wait.
Wait. Comedian Red Grant?
Yeah, he's on
the team. What position Red Grant? Yeah, he was on the team at Savannah State.
What position Red played?
Pullback.
Wait, he must have been fat back then.
Red's small.
Yeah, he was a pullback.
Oh, God damn.
Hell, everybody was small 35 years ago.
Hey, man, I see.
Listen, I hate to change the subject.
I used to watch Red Grant at the Laugh Factory way back when I was in L.A., way back then when D. Ray Davis used to host sometime.
That's how long I've been watching Red Grant.
Damn, that's dope.
We used to have talent shows.
Red, another dude named, his name was Bernard Mack.
And they would do comedy.
This other dude named Eugene Brantley, they would have wrestling
matches.
Wrestling?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Oh, Joe, we had real live
talent. The girls, I mean, they could
really, really sing.
Oh, man, it was unbelievable.
But when it came to that, Joey...
Different ballgame.
You know,
you know,
oh, yeah. But like you said, different ball game you know the whole shape the shape oh yeah
but like you said
things that you could
get away
oh you getting
canceled today
you getting
canceled today
cause I
we were ripping them
but
that's where we are now
and you adapt
I still can get them off
though you know
I can still get the jokes off that's where we are now. And you adapt. I still can get them off, though. You know I can still get the jokes off.
That's my thing.
So, Gisele, Bob Craft,
Nikki Glaser with some crazy Aaron Hernandez jokes.
Who knew Drew Bledsoe was funny?
They booed Kim Kardashian.
Even Coach Belichick.
Wait, B was up there?
So that, that...
Yeah, Coach Belichick came on that thing.
Was he funny?
Dressed like an encyclopedia salesman.
But he was...
But he was there.
He was there.
Oh, that's funny.
Oh, man, yeah.
But the roast,
hey, everybody,
everybody, like I said,
like comedians
do really well in roasts
because they know how to take... That's their environment. That's their environment they're used to it that's that's it it's just like a football
player he knows how to take a hit a wide receiver running back they know how to take a hit the
average person you put about there in some past say okay take this hit you breaking something
something getting broke because you don't know how to give you don't know how to give. You don't know how to fall.
So, but everybody,
nah, them rolls ain't for everybody.
Yeah, I got to watch that one.
Obviously, I'm not watching it tonight.
As a matter of fact, I still think they're tearing his ass up.
Wait, it's still going on?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to watch it in the morning. The night ain't happening.
Yeah. It's going to be going on, it in the morning. The night ain't happening. Yeah.
It's going to be going on, but it was good.
Like I said, I think Tom,
he probably like, once that initial
burn got over,
he's like, okay. But you know,
he was sitting there like,
that sounded like a good idea at the time.
Not while you're in it.
Once it's gone, it's too late, then you can't back out.
Yeah.
You ever know on the show
somebody asks you to do something, and you're like,
yeah, yeah. And then when it comes
time for you to do it, you're like, man, why the hell I say
yeah? I know damn well I'm going to
want to do this.
It happens all the time.
I...
And then you get stuck.
But it is what it is.
But he's doing the best he can with it.
I know that Giselle stuff, it stinks.
You think so?
To hear about your old lady was seeing, bro, you Tom Brady.
The greater the person, the greater ego.
You know how that works.
And to know somebody potentially was with her while you...
Man, stop it, Ocho.
Listen.
You listen.
You've always said it before.
What did you say about expectations?
If you learn to manage your expectations,
you won't be...
Ain't no managing no expectations
when I've been in a marriage for 10 years and two kids,
ain't no managing no expectation.
You done been around long enough now.
You done been around long enough.
You understand that you know women.
You done been around...
Come on now.
Ring on the finger,
relationship, title.
Come on now.
So let me ask you a question.
Let's just say for the sake of argument, you're married.
Have a baby. You have a baby.
And then,
you know, baby
need blood or something.
You ain't a match.
Are you managing
expectations? You're under the
assumption that's your key. Ain't no
managing no expectations and no marriage.
Maybe in a relationship.
Maybe we dating. I should manage my
expectations. Ocho,
I've been through all my expectations out the window.
I've all lived with your ass.
Hey, that little
Maury analogy you just gave
right there. We
done seen it happen over the years. Wake up with football every morning and listen to my new podcast,

Jordan Rodrigue from The Athletic,
and of course, Colleen Wolfe.
This is their window right now.

of them winning that Super Bowl.

Listen now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. to four month old Marquise you are not the father
man I'm going to tear up that hospital
I ain't going to even lie
man I'm going to tear that hospital up
I'm with you when you're right
I'm with you when you're right
but there's just been so many
so many situations
and I always think to myself
is I try to be realistic
even in all situations and put things into
logical terms, you know, and understanding that human error is inevitable. We all try to strive
for perfection in all that we do. And many of us continue to always fall at times by the wayside,
no matter how perfect we try to be. And I always
keep that way, way, way, way
in the back of my head. All the way in the
back.
Way back. Just with understanding
that as great as
individuals try to be as partners
at times they make mistakes.
At times they do.
Even with that
Ocho, even with that minor the fact that you've been in this
relationship so long yeah thinking and right and you like how could it be because she's with me
or she's at working but she's found a way to deceive me for it appeared even if it even if
it's only for 30 minutes even if it's only for 30 minutes, even if it's only for an hour, let alone
and here's the thing that gets a man
when the woman steps out
on him in the relationship.
Because in order for that woman to at least step
out of that man, she feels something.
You see, unless a woman
is a prostitute, she can't distinguish
fuck from feel.
So there is an attachment to that guy.
Emotional attachment.
Yes.
A guy,
when they say a guy will hit a snake,
if you hold a head, he'll hit the wood
pile that the snake in if he thought he was
in there. That's how disattached they are
with that situation.
But for a woman
to have a sexual relationship
with a man and she's in a relationship or she's married
yeah oh and that's what get it because you know you know you've been there yeah think about think
of think about this and obviously you've been a part of that circle the elite part of the one
percent you've heard the stories you've heard the countless stories
of these situations happening over and over and over and one thing i mean retaining one thing i've
never done throughout the years and anyone i was dealing with i never thought i was that big of a
person where it can't happen to me ever oh no ever ever ever and i one thing i've never done
is i never put anything past anyone no matter matter who it was, no matter how much I love them.
Never put anything past anyone. Human error is inevitable.
Inevitable. Yeah. And that's just that's just the way I've always lived.
And that mindset has always saved me from being hurt. Disappointed, yes.
Disappointment, yes.
Being hurt, no.
Because here's the thing.
See, women are not impulsive.
Yes, sir.
Men are impulsive.
See, a woman...
Oh, yes, strategic.
Strategic.
She's going to call her girlfriends,
hey, we're at the mall,
go buy me something from Victoria's Secret. Now, she's going to buy you what we're at the mall go buy me something
from Victoria's Secret
now she's gonna buy
she's gonna meet up
with her girlfriend
get it
put that on for you
with old dude
to knock the hoops off
come on now
talk now
yeah
now you found that out
because she planned it
called premeditation
see women are not impulsive
women are not impulsive
they're three steps ahead
they're three steps ahead always, women are not impulsive. Women are not impulsive. They're three steps ahead. They're three steps ahead.
Always.
Because women are like cats.
See, a cat can sneak up on you
and rub on your lips.
Where did you come from?
You go hear a dog.
A dog will come.
You hear his feet on the floor
or you hear him pant.
Cat sneak up on you,
rub on your lips.
Where you come from?
So he done planned it.
Yeah.
But you know what? Get all that. And then when you find out, he done planned it. Yeah. But you know what?
Get all that.
And then when you find out,
then you find out.
Yeah.
But listen,
one thing about it is,
and I can be honest,
we family chat.
When you've been on the other end of the spectrum,
when you've been on the other end of the spectrum
for so many years
and you were a part of the planning,
you get where I'm going?
Stay with me. When you were a part of the planning that you get where I'm going? Stay with me.
When you were a part of the planning that's being done,
then you're a little bit more seasoned.
You're a little bit more seasoned
to understand
when something ain't right.
I'm trying
to take you there without really going there.
Okay. Are you
picking up what I'm putting down?
I picked it up.
But the chat understands. I mean,
I'm sure the people in the chat,
I mean, sometimes, you know how guys are.
Ain't nobody ever did this to me.
I ain't never did. You the one.
Yeah.
Somebody probably got on right now.
Swinging from the chandelier
while you talking about it ain't happening.
You up here talking to Ocho and I, and somebody got him
hip deep.
But hey,
that's the thing
with the roast, Ocho, so if people know that,
all your indiscretions.
Everything is out the bag.
Yeah, man.
So, Tom Brady, a better man than me.
Like I said, hey, one-on-one in the locker room,
we with the boys. I'm the roast champ. Man, man. So, Tom Brady, a better man than me. Like I said, hey, one-on-one in the locker room. We with the boys.
I'm the Rose champ.
Man, alive.
Oh, that thing going to be aired?
Oh, dude.
Mm-mm.
Oh, Joe, the Cleveland Cavaliers won their first playoff series
without LeBron James since 1993, 106-94, and it wasn't easy.
They came from 18 points down, the largest come from behind win
in a game seven in NBA history.
Excuse me.
Donovan Mitchell, after following his 50 points in the game six loss,
would not be denied.
He had 24 of his 39 points in the second half.
Cleveland trailed by as many as 18 in the first half and by 10 at the half.
The comeback was the largest in the game seven, at least since 1998.
Not ever since 1998.
The Cavaliers will face the top seeded Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Game one in Boston, TD Garden on Tuesday.
You know, I have a question.
Again, your basketball knowledge is eons above mine.
So when I think about the Cavs having to face the Celtics, for one, congratulations to
the Cavs on winning and what they were able to accomplish. But do they match up well?
Like when it comes to boxing, styles wins fights. Style of fighters wins fight,
depending on who's fighting. Obviously, it's the playoffs. Do the Cavs even stand a chance?
Even with what Donovan Mitchell was able to do. Wagner,
Carter, some of those fellas.
I mean, not...
Franz Wagner did not play
well. He was 1 for 15, 0 for 5.
Suggs was 2 for 13, 2 for 10
from 3. Really, no one
really played well.
Pablo Banquero,
he was...
He wasn't efficient efficient but he got to
the foul line 35 and 16 he's the second youngest player to have a 35 15 game since magic johnson
um uh wendell carter jr but dude to answer your question they only have a two-headed monster they
only got garland and mitchell, and Garland hadn't played particularly well
the last... He didn't play particularly well this
series. It'll be interesting. Now, they're going to need
more than Donald and Mitchell to go off.
It would help if they had Jared Allen.
I don't know if he's coming
back the next series, but him being out,
that's the twin towers. He and
Evelyn Mobley, they can block shots,
they can alter shots, but without
him being there, I don't know
if they have... Could they win
a game? Yes. Do I
expect them to win the series? Absolutely
not. Even with Chris Stafford
Zingers being out, I just think
Boston is too much. So they're going to shoot
him out the gym then, basically?
Basically.
Basically.
Look, look, basically basically look Strews will probably take
Okuru will probably
take Tatum
Strews probably will deal with
Jalen Brown
and then
Garland will probably take
I'm assuming he'll probably go take Derek White
because you want to save Donovan Mitchell.
He's your best offensive weapon
if you don't want him expending a whole lot of energy
on the defensive end.
Right.
So I'm thinking who's going to start?
Probably Big Al will start in front of,
and since Brzingis is out,
inevitably, Mobley will deal with him.
But I just don't see Cleveland having enough
to deal with Boston.
Damn.
Well, hell, you might as well just...
Boston going to the...
Might as well chalk this series up then, basically.
But here's the thing, though.
Everybody, you remember what happened last
year first player of the game um jason tatum shoots the ball in the game seven against miami
tweak that ankle knee he wasn't the same boom so everybody you're you're a a superstar
rolled ankle tweak need something And now it changes the entirety
of the series. But I like
Boston in the series.
But give the Cavaliers
and Donovan Mitchell. We know Donovan
is big time. We've seen him go
have 50-point games before.
I think he had 57 against the Nuggets.
I think both of those 57-point
games, he lost. Those 50-point games,
he lost. Did he lose to the Nuggets
when he dropped 57 on them
in the bubble? Because I know he
lost the other day, game six, but
I think both of his 50-point playoff games,
he's lost. I like
it. I like it.
But they are moving
on, and they will face
the Boston Celtics.
Game one one Tuesday.
Hip off at TD Garden.
I'm waiting on tomorrow.
I mean, since we're on the topic of basketball,
I'm locked in. I'm waiting on tomorrow.
I'm trying to see that young fella
man down there in Minnesota, man.
Man.
Wait, they do play tomorrow, right?
I'm not tripping.
Oh my goodness, man.
Matter of fact I like Young Bull
I like Young Bull games so much
I'm probably going
And you know how I am about money
I'm probably going to take a trip to Minnesota
I'm probably going to take a trip to Minnesota
And sit courtside
Just to watch Young Bull play
I got to see that in person
At least once
And I hope it's one of those
I hope it's one of those four.
I hope it's one of those 31, 43-point games.
43-point games.
Yeah.
Dang.
So, Magic had a great season.
They're a very, very young team.
Banquero is going to be something special.
He's unbelievable.
You see why Orlando took him number one overall.
A 38-point effort.
The second youngest guy to do a 38-15 game since Magic Johnson.
That's saying something.
Anytime it's you and Magic, yeah, you're in pretty elite company.
So Cavaliers move on.
They face the Celtics on Tuesday in game one.
Now it's time for News Cap.
Oh, Joe.
We got graphics.
There we go.
I'll be panicking.
We missed graphics one time, but we got the graphics.
Willie Colon says Mike Tomlin is on the hot seat.
The Steelers are 0-4 in the postseason dating back to 2017.
And the team's former offensive lineman, Willie Colon,
thinks Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat given those recent playoff struggles.
The issue with Tomlin right now is he wins games he's supposed to win,
but he loses games he shouldn't lose.
And now Steelers Nation is frustrated because they're looking at the organization right now
that is well above average,
and then they lose bonehead games.
I'm saying to myself,
well, who are the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Are they the bullies,
or are they the dweebs right now?
If you lost to the Patriots and the Cardinals,
you look like dweebs.
You like what Colon had to say?
You agree with what he had to say?
The only Willie Colon I know
is a Spanish singer.
Let's start there.
So I'm trying to understand, Mr. Willie Colon,
why his words and how he feels
and what he's saying holds any weight.
Why it holds any weight.
Now, Mike Tomlin,
the whole point of everything you want to do
as a head coach coming in is your end goal at the end of the day is a Lombardi trophy, right?
Correct.
He hasn't had a quarterback.
For one, let's start there.
Ben Roethlisberger was on the tail end.
On the tail end, you got Mason Rudolph.
You have Kenny Pickett.
Things haven't worked out. So until you get a quarterback
in-house, you understand how difficult it is to win games and get back to that historic
winning franchise that you're used to unless you have a quarterback in place.
So let's say they do fire Mike Tomlin. What happens next? If you still
don't have your quarterback situation figured out,
you're right back at square one.
Going through the same
shit, the same rigmarole
as you were before.
Mike Tomlin has been very good
for the organization. His resume
and what he's done for them, it
speaks for itself. So why
Willie Colon wants to come out and say some of the things he's saying
now, it matters. Not, it matters. Not.
I think, I think the thing is, Oh, Joe,
when prominent players play for an organization and they speak negative about
the organization, it carries a little bit more weight than some casual.
If you were to say something,
if you were to say something negative about Cincinnati,
people are going to listen.
Yeah, but I would never.
I would never.
But I'm just saying.
Can I ask you a question?
How did you just say that?
Just real quick.
Yes.
Now, I would be critical
in certain aspects
when things aren't going well.
Have you ever been critical
of the Ravens in general
or the Broncos?
I'm just curious.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely.
So when you say someone spoke out against the Steelers,
who are you referring to?
I'm talking about Willie Colon.
I don't even know who that is.
So what does,
you see what I mean?
What does that tell you?
He's an offensive lineman.
He played when you played.
Man,
I don't got no man.
Tell Willie go sit down somewhere,
man.
Tell Willie go sit down.
I know,
I know Willie Parker. I know, I know Willie Parker. I don't know the man. Tell Willie go sit down somewhere, man. I know Willie Parker.
I know Willie Parker.
I don't know no goddamn Willie Colon.
Listen, he name don't hold no goddamn
weight, no disrespect. Listen, I'm a
Bengal fan
at heart, taking up for the goddamn Steeler
organization, because I don't know who the hell Willie
Colon is with this bullshit he talking about.
You don't think
Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat?
Putting him on the hot seat is...
Let's put him on the hot seat.
Let's put him on the hot seat.
We have two quarterbacks
in question.
We have Justin Fields
and we have Russell Wilson.
We have a great supporting cast
offensively. Najee Harris, two receivers.
Unc, you got to excuse me real quick.
Is Deontay Johnson still there, or is he gone?
No, he's gone. He's in Carolina.
He's in Carolina.
So we got brother George Pickens.
Who's on the other side of George?
Don't start me lying. I don't know.
I didn't follow the draft,
so I don't know if they drafted somebody or not. I really don't. I don't know I didn't follow the draft so I don't know if they drafted somebody or not
I really don't I don't I don't I don't like that because I I if I can't ring off the receivers and
supporting cast that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields have to work with that's not a good thing
this is a passing league so you're going to need catchers of the ball
catchers of the ball that I actually have knowledge about and know about because it makes the quarterback
job that much easier. Whoever the
offensive coordinator is with the Steelers,
it makes his job
easier. The better
catchers of the past, oh my
God, the better catchers of the ball that
you have. I'm going to say receivers. I don't
know why I keep saying that.
Damn, man. Willie Colon. Come on man now willie cologne he's making
that's what happens
look me personally ocho i try to i try to stay away in the offseason because there's nothing
happening they just had to draft you got ota you got training camp. Once the season starts, because a lot of times, Ocho, a lot of times,
look, in this business, what we're in,
a lot of times,
people,
analysts, prognosticators,
whatever you want to call them,
they want to be first.
Them being right, they want to be
first.
And so, I'm going to
base it on what I see over a period of time now
the standard is the standard for the steelers they expect to compete from lombardi's
and they haven't been able to do that in a very long time now mike tomlin is not the only coach
that's been dealing with quarterback issues. And we hold those coaches accountable.
So that's all I'm saying,
is that we hold other coaches accountable
for the play of the team.
And I think, look,
Willie can have his opinion,
and I don't want to speak for Willie,
but I'm just saying, like,
when I evaluate,
and, you know, Kyle Bowler,
and when we had T-Bone,
we had some of the other quarterbacks.
I'm like, bro.
And yeah, it probably hurt more because it came from me.
It came from me.
And so I know it probably, but they know at the end of the day, there's no malicious intent.
I'm just basically because I got to do that, Ocho.
I can't just criticize everybody else
and then let the Ravens
and the Broncos skate.
See, but coming from you,
it means something.
It holds weight.
Okay?
Based on your resume
and what you've done,
you have a gold jacket.
So coming from you,
it hits home.
It stings a little bit,
especially for those players
that are there
that play for the Ravens,
especially those players
that are there
that play for the Broncos. Now, that's no disrespect to Willie Colon. I played
the game for a very long time. I played against the Steelers twice a year for a decade straight.
This individual that has said what he said about Mike Tomlin and the Steelers organization,
I have no clue or idea who the hell that is. And I mean that with all due respect.
But with him with great understanding of knowing that you played the game, you understand the situations that are lacking in Pittsburgh.
Why say Mike Tomlin is on the hot seat when he doesn't have the adequate parts that are needed to compete for those Super Bowl Super Bowl titles like they have, which if I'm not mistaken, they have six.
Yes, The Steelers
organization is unlike any other.
They normally let the head coach leave on
his own free will.
That's why they've only had three in the last almost 60
years.
They had Chuck Knoll,
who left on his own, 92.
They had Coach Cower, who left
on his own, and the heck of Mike Tomlin.
So here is the situation.
Normally, the coaches leave on their own.
The Steelers, they're not moved by fans booing and saying,
fire this.
They're not moved by.
No.
They're not going to let the fans bully them.
A friend of mine in Pittsburgh, Ed Bouchette,
people writing stuff into me.
That's not how the Roonies, that's not how they move.
They understand. See move they're very
they understand see their football life all they've ever done right it's football with the
exception of a year since 1933 they've owned the team had a year off got it back but for the most
part this is what they do this is who they are now they've had some brothers branch off and do
the casino and the horse things like that but this uh this branches of the Roonies, this is what they do.
So they understand that it's not like a normal business that you have ebbs and flows and then, you know, hey, get a new CEO.
That's not how the Roonies are not going to react, say, like a lot of other owners would when the fans become restless or they print negative or negative things are being written or said about them in the paper.

Touchdown Wire ranks
the NFL top 36 quarterbacks.
We already know who number one was, so we don't even have to.
Josh Allen was two.
What?
Joe Burrow was three.
Yeah.
Okay.
Josh was two.
Burrow was three.
Herbert was four.
CJ Stroud, five. Stafford, six. Lamar, three Herbert was four, C.J. Stroud five, Stafford six
Lamar seven, Jordan Love
eight, Aaron Rodgers nine
Trevor Lawrence is ten
whoa whoa whoa hold on hold on
let me look at my notes
let me look at my notes
and rework
chat y'all stay with me chat and tell me
if I'm wrong about
reordering this list of
quarterbacks. Now, number one is
Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I didn't even read his name.
Number one is Patrick Mahomes, Ray Charles,
and Stevie Wonder can see that.
Number two,
to me,
Chat, despite the injuries, number two
is Joe Burrow.
Okay. Then, we can go josh allen yeah okay number four
should be lamar jackson what are we doing what i mean all things being said i'm not so sure
lamar should be past two or three okay lamar jackson should be next. Now, Justin Herbert, I love him to death.
He's been in L.A. for, is this year four or year five coming up?
Five.
Five.
I think it's five.
C.J. Stroud in one season has outplayed Justin Herbert.
Chat, do you agree with me?
Chat, let me know if you agree with me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So, C.J. Stroud should be four.
Now, wherever you want to take it from there with everybody else, that's on you.
That's just my four picks based on what I've seen the past couple of seasons,
and especially CJ Stroud's rookie season.
Historic.
I'll try.
Yes, sir.
Ocho, they got Justin Fields ranked in front of Russell Wilson.
You see what I'm talking about? You see what I'm talking about?
You see what I'm talking about?
Hey, hold on.
They got Deshaun Watson ranked behind J.J. McCarthy,
behind Gardner Minshew, behind Will Levis,
behind Jacoby Brissett, behind Drake May,
behind Caleb Williams.
Really?
What are we doing?
Why is Tua all the way at fucking... Oh, shit. I'm sorry. I'm sorry? Why is Tua all the way at fucking...
Oh, shit.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Why is Tua all the way at 18?
So what are they basing?
What are they basing?
What is touchdown?
I'm not sure who touchdown...
That's their list.
They put a list together, Ocho.
So don't start me lying.
I'm not going to start you lying.
But let's like...
Come on now.
Like this is how touchdown wire,
you can lack credibility.
When you have a list like this, that is all out of sorts.
Chat, I know you all agree with me, especially with my first four.
As far as everybody else, after four, I'm assuming it's based on preference,
but you would want to use it based on stats
and what those quarterbacks have done for their team.
Yeah, I want to know what they're basing it on
because to have Trevor Lawrence
in front of
Brock Purdy.
Wait a minute.
How is Brock Purdy
and Jalen Hurts
all the way?
They got Kirk Cousins
who hasn't won a playoff game.
I think he won one.
He's won one.
Okay,
he's won one playoff game
in front of Jalen Hurts,
in front of Tua.
Dad, Kirk Cousins, Jared Goff.
I think Goff is a little too high.
He should be a little lower.
Tyler Murray.
Listen, come on now.
Come on, touchdown wire.
Come on, man.
We got to do better now.
We got to do better.
I'm not sure.
I'm sure you have a great knowledge of the game of football,
but this is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.
I'm going to create my own goddamn chart.
Go ahead.
We'll put it up.
Houston Texans revival has caught J.J. Watt's attention.
The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year hasn't played since 2022. revival has caught J.J. Watt's attention.
The three-time NFL defensive player of the year hasn't played since 2022.
But if the Texans head coach, D'Amico Ryan,
gives him a call, he's willing to consider
coming out of retirement. I told D'Amico
last year, I said, don't call unless
you absolutely need it. But if you ever
do call, I'll be there.
And he knows not to call
unless it's absolutely necessary.
I like that. Matter of fact, to call unless it's absolutely necessary.
I like that.
Matter of fact,
I'm going to try that too.
I'm going to try that too.
Since D'Amico Ryans and J.J. Watt
have that type of relationship
where if you really need me
and you make that call,
but make sure you really,
really do need me,
I'm going to try that with Zach Taylor.
I'm going to try it with Zach Taylor I'm going to try it with Zach Taylor
if you really
if you need some fresh legs in training camp
you want to give T
you want to give brother Burton
you want to give Chase a little rest
bring me in there
you want to give Tyler Borden
your ass O ain't nothing on you French
who O I have no wear and tear
I have no wear and tear. I have no wear and tear, and I played it.
You got age.
Age is nothing but a number.
Number.
Yeah, and your number is high as hell.
I ain't number 56.
I ain't number 56.
You can't tell me I can't go play right now.
Third down, you mean to tell me I can't go in third and three?
You put me in the slot.
You think I can't saw somebody up right now?
Aren't you playing Madden?
Madden?
Aren't you playing Madden?
No, I ain't playing Madden.
I'm talking about real life.
No, I'm talking about real life.
You play Madden on real life.
What you don't even understand
about me is what you don't
get to see in the offseason
is I train with these fellas
every year in the offseason
as a DB.
With Jamar Chase,
with Stephon. I cover them boys.
So I know I'm still able and willing to move and cover, transition, stop, start, right along with them.
So if the opportunity presents itself, because I'm in such great shape, even at 56, I know I can go out there and compete.
On special occasions, third downs, and I'd be can go out there and compete on special occasions,
third downs, and I'd be an animal
right now for the Bengals, right now.
The only special occasion you're competing for
is Mother's Day,
Father's Day, all
the holidays. Those are the special occasions
that you're going to be at.
I don't like the fact that you don't believe in me.
You know what you sound like? You sound like my teacher in elementary
school. She didn't believe in me either.
She told me I would never amount to anything.
Matter of fact, Mike Brown, Katie, Troy, twins, if you see this, please, if the opportunity presents itself, please just bring me into training camp.
Just bring me into training camp so you can see what I look like.
And you will notice, even though a decade plus removed from the game of football i still
look the same i'm just as fast just give me a chance give me listen mike brown bring your man
let him saw the movie rudy they gave rudy a chance yeah give ocho a chance i won't let you down
uh bring ocho in he's great
he can talk to the young man
let him know what to expect in the NFL
get them how to manage the money
and things of that nature
do not bring Ocho in
because Ocho cannot play in the NFL
that's a lie
when preparation meets opportunity
guess who shows up
huh
when opportunity comes knocking
guess who's going gonna answer the door

I just want to put some film together.
Ain't nobody taking 10 years off
from a sport that's as
physical as the game of football.
Ain't going to go back out there.
You're not doing it. You call that shit they're doing out there
right now physical?
I played against the Steelers and the Ravens
twice a year. That's
physical. You can't even hit nobody
today.
You know what I had to do
with no injuries.
And you can't go out there today.
So that's even.
Even Steven.
Look at this.
Imagine this again on Sunday
out there right now.
What you talking about, baby?
Let's go.
Man, I thought that was all about.
I thought that was all about.
Let's go. Now, you know what? They're going. I thought that was all of them. Let's go.
Now, you know what?
They're going to bring me in just because of this.
Just because you said I can't do it,
they're going to bring me in just to prove you wrong.
Ocho.
Maybe, you know what?
If you was like a year removed,
two years back, I'd say, you know what, Ocho?
You're right.
I've been hyping you up.
I'd say, man, you need to give Ocho a chance.
You talk about a year removed.
I never removed myself from the up. I said, man, you need to get Ocho a chance. You talk about a year removed. I never removed myself
from the NFL.
I never stopped training.
I've been training
the past decade
just in case that call comes
because you never know.
I'm always prepared.
I'm always ready.
Let me ask you a question.
How'd it come?
That's because the opportunity
to present itself
because I didn't put myself out there.
It ain't going to present itself.
It ain't presenting itself.
It is.
For the last decade, you've been waiting on a call to come. No, I didn't present itself because I didn't put myself out there. It ain't going to present itself. It ain't presenting itself. It is. I was doing...
For the last decade,
you've been waiting on a call.
No, I didn't say it.
I didn't say I was waiting on the call.
I said I didn't put myself out there
to let them know that,
you know what?
My services are available
like J.J. Watt.
You know what I'm saying?
I made the call.
You ain't put yourself out there,
but I made the call.
You know what? I'm making the call right now because they're going out there, but I made the call. You know what?
I'm making the call right now because they're going to see this.
They're going to see this.
No, we're going to edit this out.
Hey, that's funny.
They're not going to see this.
I bet the chat
believe in me.
No, the chat don't believe in you. No, the chat don't believe in me. No chat believe in you.
No chat believe in you.
McLaren driver Lando Nars
added his name to list
the Formula One race winners
with a sensational breakthrough victory
Sundays at Miami Grand Prix
overhauling Red Bull's driver
Max Verstappen.
That was nice.
My experience, obviously, I went to F1
with the missus.
It was awesome.
I thought, I didn't go Saturday, I thought
Sunday would be the best
thing for me to get there
and watch the race. Being my second time
going to F1, I was able to attend it last
year. This year, on
behalf of Heineken, everyone at Heineken, I thank
you for the opportunity. I thank you for the opportunity.
I thank you for the hospitality.
Nick Christ,
who's the head of Global
Partnerships at Crypto.com.
Paul Horgan, who's a
partner at Ryan Sports.
I appreciate you guys for the hospitality
and taking the time out to talk
to me. I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed it. When I saw it,
I think it might have been lap 47,
when I saw Brother Norris
had almost a four or five second lead.
I knew at that point he was winning
because there were only 11, 12 laps to go.
The atmosphere,
I'm not sure if you ever attended F1 before.
The energy, the atmosphere is energetic.
The fans are engaged throughout the entire time time especially when someone makes a good pass and the excitement from the fans and the clapping and
the cheering is is is uh it's phenomenal so if you haven't attended f1 you you have to do it that was
my third time i was obviously i went to f1 in miami last year I was able to go in Vegas. Thank you again also to Las Vegas, to Las Vegas tourism. I can't remember the name exactly, but I thank you all for that opportunity and that experience. But F1 was phenomenal. Oh, it was phenomenal, man.
Oh, it was phenomenal, man.
They call it a rich man's sport.
And when you're in that atmosphere and you're in that environment,
I feel a little uncomfortable,
you know, because you can see,
you can smell the money,
if you know what I mean.
You got, I'm not sure how many cars on the track,
$20 million a car.
I had someone explaining to me
the prices of the cars.
The engine by itself is like 500 grand. come on man what we doing somebody wrecked out there and the first
thing i said that's 20 million dollars down the drain that's what it takes about a year to run
those cars about 20 million dollars the steering wheel is 100 grand,000 what do we do?
and the tires, you think about how many
sets of tires they go through in the course
of the year and how you build those cars
to dissipate
so they
basically disintegrate
take all that energy away from the driver
yeah
I was going to go Ocho but I got
I'm
all over the place the next 10 days.
So, I was like, ain't no way I can do Miami
because I already got to do Philly, Indy,
Atlanta, New York, Houston,
all in the next 10 days. Yeah, but listen, if you need me to
come with you, man, I have no problem.
I, you know, keep you company and
you know, I could be right there on your side
as your biggest supporter and biggest
cheerleader. So, if you need me, let me know.
I got Miles, Spirit, Flyers, all the places that you just mentioned.
Well, I think next week you're going to be in New York with me.
What are we doing in New York?
Well, that's news to me.
You're breaking the news to me.
What are we doing in New York?
Well, I guess they've been talking to Rail.
Rail? So I'm sure Rail will fill you in. Wait, I guess they've been talking to Rail. Rail?
I'm sure Rail will fill you in.
Wait, this is Nightcap, Uncle Ocho.
How you just adding a third party?

but it was a habit.
Yeah.
