Starting point is 00:04:57 we gonna be at in another three months oh joe the thing is here's the thing the podcast market is really saturated because everybody's saying well hey he's doing it i can do it she's doing it i can do it and so what you have to do now yeah it's easy to start a podcast you get your camera you say i want a youtube channel and a microphone hey you can shoot in your space go here i am in my office you're in your office and you go but here's the here's the trick now you're never going to get a chance to get them again. So when you launch for the very first time and you get one or you get five or you get 10 and they watch you, will they come back? If they like what you have to say, if they like, if you're entertaining, if you're

And so when you hear the saying, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Right. Yeah. Remember, Ocho, when we first started this thing, we got like 2000 people in the live chat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Yeah. We went away from the live chat for a minute, started just doing BOD. Right. We come back. I said, no let's a I think we can do it I think because people need to hear this what we're saying because yeah you can hear it on the video but to hear it live the very last time there's something about being at a comedy show or two you're actually
Starting point is 00:06:18 in the audience versus oh man you should heard it and then it coming out or Kevin Hart on the tour when he when he was he I forget the name of his tour but when it came out can you imagine what it would have been like you're live in the audience and to hear that for the very first time so but they love us they followed us and they keep coming back
Starting point is 00:06:40 so we keep trying to give you great information entertaining you guys so we really want to thank you. The Pats beat the Broncos. Ryland kicks a game-winning field goal for the Pats. The Broncos tied up late, but they give the ball back to the Patriots, and the Patriots do a great job of getting in field goal range. It disappeared.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Getting in field goal range and kicking the, I think it was a 56-yard field goal. And it was right down the middle. And considering how bad he had struggled early, he missed the field goal right. He hit a P.A.T. Makes the extra point. Up right. So that was a big win for the Patriots. It was really, really deflating for the Broncos.
Starting point is 00:07:24 They didn't play well with the exception of maybe a few series for the Patriots. It was really, really deflating for the Broncos. They didn't play well with the exception of maybe a few series in the game, but the Broncos didn't play well. The first snap of the game, they sacked the quarterback, they get a fumble like on the five-yard line, and they end up turning the ball over on downs at the two-yard line. You've got to get something out of that.
Starting point is 00:07:40 You would like to get points out of that drive. I mean, excuse me, a touchdown out of that drive, but you didn't get anything. touchdown out of that drive. Yeah, drive, yeah. But you didn't get anything. And the worst case scenario, you get three. Give the Patriots credit, the defense bend, but I mean, they did a great job of holding them out of the end zone. And then the Broncos got really sloppy in there,
Starting point is 00:07:57 like once they got a 7-3 lead, but they got really sloppy. You know, they turned the ball over a couple of times, fumbled on the kick return and gave up a touchdown without the offense, even getting on the field, which is very deflating, but give them credit. They fought,
Starting point is 00:08:11 got the way back into the ball game. And I thought they had an opportunity to, to, to possibly win the game because they forced the Patriots to go three and out. And so now they get the ball with two minutes to go. And I'm like, okay,
Starting point is 00:08:23 but Oh Joee you know this in a situation like that you really need something good to happen on first down because that's the down that really okay yeah we got this yeah we got a rhythm give you a little rhythm yep give you a little rhythm give you a little confidence you got it the first down you get 13 14 15 yards you get a big play now you cook it now everything but now you you throw the throw a screen you catch him in a blitz but it's a running back he peels off tackle p ryan for 13 for a three yard loss now second and 13 yeah now you're now you're behind the eight ball but i don't know why they were in such a rush because you do realize
Starting point is 00:09:04 now if you don't get this first down you're gonna put the ball back with them to it with a minute right and they got a timeout so i didn't understand the rush of why the broncos were in such a hurry once they were second and 13 that's just me what what was kind of some of your takeaway from the game i think my takeaway i mean there were there were the broncos played good in spurts there was there was a series that looked really good where sean payton had a great game plan for russell to allow him to i like to i like to call it cook they allowed him to cook they got him outside the pocket obviously he was sacked five times but they got him outside the pocket allowed him to use his
Starting point is 00:09:39 legs a little bit to make a few completions and drive down the field i think that might have been some time in the third quarter when they looked the best as an offense. Other than that, they had sputtered the entire game. There was really no consistency offensively, you know, and they really couldn't get a rhythm or that confidence you spoke of with a minute or two minutes left on the clock when they were trying to rush. I'm not sure why they were rushing and want to get the ball back to the Patriots just in that scenario. with Cortland Sutton going down that, that really hurt. I think that really hurt them offensively,
Starting point is 00:10:10 especially in 50, 50, 50 ball situations where I'm sure Russ would have wanted to use him in that situation. Uh, a little nephew, little Brandon, he came,
Starting point is 00:10:18 he came, he got a nice little touchdown at the end, but obviously get the two point conversion to tie the game up. After that, I think the Broncos played down to the competition. I think the Patriots' defense doesn't get enough credit. Yeah, they solid. They don't get enough credit, but they deserve because of the losing record.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And I'm not sure what Bailey Zappi ate for breakfast this morning, but the past few weeks that he started, the offense itself has looked completely different. It's looked completely different, and I'm not sure if they're going to continue with mac jones as as of next year bailey zappy seems to be the answer you know so far and he did a great job he didn't turn the ball over the thing that was killing mac jones okay even if you don't pick up first down you can't turn it over he's throwing interceptions he's fumbling the ball so now that is that's exacerbating a situation it's frustrating the offense. It's frustrating the defense because we're having to defend extra possessions
Starting point is 00:11:10 that you're costing us. The one thing that you can say about Bailey Zappi, he hasn't turned the ball over. He's a little bit more athletic, I think, than Mack Jones because he's able to get out of harm's way and make some plays down the field. But I agree with you. I mean, at one point in time in the second half late like like maybe the start of the fourth quarter the broncos were minus
Starting point is 00:11:29 seven yards in the second half and i'm like bro how do you get minus seven yards i mean and they had like two or three possessions and they had you know they had sack russ and russ and fumble the football and so they didn't get any extra opportunity to pick up any yards but you know what maybe this is the best thing. Because you know what, Ocho? Sometimes you can make the playoff and it gives you a false sense that we're close. The Broncos aren't close. They're not.
Starting point is 00:11:52 And all the playoffs would have done would have fooled them. It would have fooled our fans and Bronco country. And it would have fooled a lot of the players. See, I told you we made the playoff. Bro, y'all not close. Yeah. You don't have enough. You don't have enough playmakers.
Starting point is 00:12:04 You don't have enough playmakers uh you don't have enough playmakers on the defensive side i was kind of disappointed in pat sartan today because on third down now if they go to the other side i can live with that but ain't no way in hell if i'm that dog you throw the third down on me they go you go oh joe you're challenging me right right right can you imagine somebody throwing at time reavers rod uh uh charles wilson rod wilson and neil williams you need a third down play and the best corner on your team one of the best in the nfl i want you i'm gonna challenge you that don't sound right like you tell me oh that don't sound right to me right right right right right hey that's uh i don't
Starting point is 00:12:42 know i don't know i i wouldn't when i look it, I look at the landscape and the dynamic of that offense and defense. The defense is really good. I think they're really good. They played well as opposed to how they look when they play the Dolphins and the Dolphins put up 70 on them. After that game, they have been decent. They have been decent to that point. And I don't know what I don't know what happened tonight. I'm not sure what's wrong with the Broncos in general.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I was very excited when Russell Wilson and that maturation between him and Sean Payton started to work and they started to look efficient offensively and Russell looked somewhat of himself and he looked somewhat of himself as what we're used to seeing when he was with Seattle instead of a shell of himself.
Starting point is 00:13:21 He lost a little weight. He became a little bit more mobile using his legs. They were getting him out of the pocket. He making plays with his with his arm with his legs and it's a game like today that you have to come out and win and make a statement if you want to feel like you deserve to make the playoffs but again like you said if they were to make it i'm not sure what the what the um standings are for them now but you would just be fooling yourself yeah just be fooling yourself. You'd just be fooling yourself. With a win today, they had a 42% chance of making it. With a loss, there's a 5%
Starting point is 00:13:49 chance of making it. So the likelihood of them making the playoffs with two games to go isn't very good. They need a lot of bad things to happen to someone else, but you need a lot of good things to happen to you. But here's the thing. Now you're hoping because you didn't take care of your business.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Your own business. If you take care of your business, don't worry about what's up. Man, if they lose this and this team ties and an eagle land on the flagpole at 12 o'clock, we can make the playoffs. Nah, bro. If you take care of your business, you don't have to look and see what someone else is doing.
Starting point is 00:14:21 You don't have to worry about what they're cooking because your meal is satisfactory. But it is what it is. I think they need a lot of things that the offensive line isn't nearly good enough they don't they didn't run the ball particularly well last night i'm looking at this dance of ocho and the the the rush the rush yards what they have that's 61 81 83 yards on 17 21 22 23 carries that 23 carries. That's not enough. Not enough to get it done. Not enough to get it done. No.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Yeah. So give the Patriots credit. Go on the road. Win a hard-fought ball game. Found a way to win. Could have gotten, you know, you have a 23-7 lead. All of a sudden, it's 23-23 late in the ball game. You have every reason to like, man, we had this game.
Starting point is 00:15:07 We let it slip away. But they said, nope, it ain't slip away. We still got an excellent chance to win this ballgame. And they dug down and they won the ballgame. So congratulations to them. And they win and the Broncos taste defeat. Tombo said, you can't tell me Sean ain't sabotaging Denver. On the last drive you
Starting point is 00:15:26 called the exact same type of play that had you down 16 to begin with well Ocho and I said it earlier I wasn't pleased with the play call and I know a lot a lot of teams like to start with the screen but a lot of defenses know you like to start with the screen so you like to start with the screen they know you like to start with the screen. They know you like to start with the screen. So you play the screen. Exactly, exactly. So the Patriots found a way to win, so give those guys credit. So game we go into next.
Starting point is 00:16:00 The Miami Dolphins. Hey! Beat the Dallas Cowboys 22-20. Jason Sanders hit a 29- yard field goal as time expired to give Miami is level win of the season. He hit five field goals on today, set a Dolphins record three of at least 50 yards. And they win a tour was 200 had passed for 293 yards, 2437, 293, a touchdown. Dak Prescott was 20 of 32, 253, and two touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:16:31 CeeDee Lamb, six catches for a buck 15. Tyreek had nine for 99 after sitting out last week. What was your takeaway? What was your big takeaway? Hey, this might have been the best game of the day. I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it. They went back and forth.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Tool was good. Dak was good. They didn't turn the ball over. One thing that I don't like that the Cowboys did, goddamn CeeDee Lamb been cooking. Obviously, I'm a Dolphins fan, but CeeDee Lamb has been cooking week in and week out. He comes out, has a phenomenal game at the beginning. Phenomenal quarters.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Excuse me. He had four catches touching the ball. They moving the ball phenomenal game at the beginning. Phenomenal quarters. Excuse me. He had four catches touching the ball. They moving the ball up and down the field. That is the Cowboys. Then all of a sudden, CeeDee Lamb disappears. He disappears out the game plan and opportunities don't even exist until what? Maybe the late, was it maybe middle of the third? Right.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Early in the fourth? I mean, what are we doing are we even serious about competing and wanting and wanting to win the game when your best playmaker is not a part of the game plan why are you even allowing the the dolphin defense excuse me to dictate where the ball goes yeah move him around getting the ball you don't have to because at this point in time, they're not having Jalen Ramsey travel with him. So now I'm working on because if you look, if you say Jalen Ramsey and Xavier Howard are one,
Starting point is 00:17:53 two, those are your two best corners. So now I'm working on three and four. Well, I got to move. Well, you got to move me. Let me work with you guys in the slot because Ramsey's not coming in the slot.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Howard really doesn't play the slot. So I'm cool you ain't gotta move me just what left or right I got two guys in me that I know that are uh that I'm superior to feed me the ball so yeah although I agree with you he had 10 targets he should have had 17 targets easily easily especially this with they the the Cowboys are in a gauntlet they're in a gauntlet of games that they have to win or they should win because the ramifications of these games are important for them making the playoffs and the team that they're playing are going to be the type of team
Starting point is 00:18:33 that you're playing in the playoffs so why not throw the kitchen sink out there and get the confidence in on your on your team especially offensive the confidence for that cd lamb disappears halfway halfway in the game after going crazy the first half. Then he doesn't touch the ball until late in the third or maybe early in the fourth. It makes no sense, but then you're serious about winning
Starting point is 00:18:55 and being in the playoffs. Dolphins defense played really good, though. Ocho, the thing, if you're the Dolphins defense, what are you playing? The pass. The Cowboys don't even really try to run the football i don't know if they can't run it or they don't make a commitment to run it because all i know is mike mccarthy said at the end of the at the end of last year when they made the switch and moved on from kellen moore he wanted more of a balanced offense he told jerry jones a lot he wanted to get kellen moore out of
Starting point is 00:19:22 there because he wanted to call the plays because this offense looks a lot like it did last year with no running game. And they might have won 100-yard rush game this year. And maybe that was, if I'm not mistaken, that was the first game of the season against the Giants. But they have no commitment. Now, granted, this offensive line is getting up on age. Zach Martin is not the same Zach Martin. Tyron Smith has missed another game. He's missed on average since 2015, I think, about three games a season.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Since 2020, he's missed the average of four games a season. He's not the same. You can't – because remember now, when Zeke first got in, they moved people to the A. Oh, yeah. That thing was like molding. They partied. They getting you up out of the club.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Yeah. Quick. Yeah. They were bouncers. They had five bouncers, and they were throwing people up out. You're right. They were throwing people – molded out the club. You got to get up out the club quick yeah they were bouncers they had five bouncers and they were throwing people about you right oh they were throwing people mofos out the club you gotta get up out of here it's time to go and and i just don't know i mean tony paul at 12 for 35 dak had five for 25 uh but he had a 22 yard run i like that today because today seemed like he was very active he wasn't he was he was
Starting point is 00:20:25 he wasn't hesitant oh man they got his thing covered i'm out the gate yeah i'm out of there yeah i'm very very decisive very decisive in his decision making he was but uh they they don't i mean the thing is if i'm the guy if i play the cowboys i'm playing for the pads because they're not gonna make a commitment to run especially if they run the ball the first couple times and you stop them oh they good day hey all right dac it's on you now it's on you uh but like you said give the dolphins create a credit tyreek 14 targets nine catches 99 yards he dropped one hey that would have been what 97 96 because you see what but, here's the thing, Ocho. What do you got to do, Ocho? Once he got past Bland, he got to start getting back. He stayed in that
Starting point is 00:21:10 line. Now you got to get back. Why? Because, just think about it. If you had released outside, where would you have been? I don't care what your release is. You know what, Ocho? You could go in motion and go out the other side. As long as my back foot hit that fifth step and you where you're supposed to be at 42 and 4, I'm cool with it.
Starting point is 00:21:28 He needed to get back wide, and because he didn't, you see how he tried to reach over here and catch it? Where if he'd have got back wide, he'd have hit it right here. It would have fell right in the bread basket. Yeah. Right in the bread basket. And he'd have pieced him out. And so now you get 97.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Now, Ochoo you know what happened you get that first catch and it's a big one a big one oh ocho i'm about to give me a two i'm about to give me a two piece i'm about to give me a 200 today matter of fact that would have today would have been a 200 yard day 200 200 and some change easy but he had another opportunity remember late in the fourth quarter he ran he ran a deep end cut and threw it through it behind him because he was about to come out the back side on that one yeah yeah the safety had taken a horrible angle he was about to come out the back side that's why he started hopping started jumping because he's like damn i missed this you already know and you know you know the funny thing about it is he's gonna have another week to be able to do it because they got
Starting point is 00:22:20 the ravens next week yeah and the ravens ain't changing them nothing based on the way they play the game they feel they have two good corners and mart. And the Ravens ain't changing them nothing based on the way they play the game. They feel they have two good corners in Marlon Humphrey. I can't remember number 20. I can't remember number 20 on his last name. But they going to be in his face. They going to be in his face. But here's the thing. I think it's too late to get two bans.
Starting point is 00:22:37 He needs about 200 yards each game. Because remember, Ocho, he got hurt. Remember he got hurt? The ankle, yeah. And then he missed the game. So now... each game because remember Ocho he got hurt remember he got hurt the ankle yeah and then he missed the game yeah so now he missed about six quarters worth of production yes yes okay okay so now
Starting point is 00:22:54 where he's at 1600 he'd have been at 1800 right now with two games to play he's at 1800 have a nice game now you're trying to go in this man I'm trying to get a buck 50 against the raven right so that for all i need is a 50 yards against the last game of the season yeah and i guess you're right right and i'm and i'm at two man uh but this was a much
Starting point is 00:23:15 this was a a very needed win for the dolphins ocho because and you know people say the narrative but there's no narrative you guys have not beat a team with a winning record in a calendar year. So it's not a narrative. It's facts. It's facts. I don't know what y'all want me to say. And the Cowboys, again, 20 points. Where they score 40 points
Starting point is 00:23:40 at home, they got less than what they normally get on the road. They normally get about 22, 21.7. 22 points. They got 20 today. The defense, I mean, and the defense didn't play bad. I'm getting ready to say that.
Starting point is 00:23:57 Normally, I say that the key for the Dolphins winning this game would be running the ball the same way the Cardinals did, the same way the Bills were able to do, but they did okay against the run. They did okay against the run. But here's the thing. I thought the Dolphins tried to attack them wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:14 See, they're trying to get the edges. You got to go downhill against them. You have to because they're too fast. They're too fast when you're trying to get the edge. Look at James Cook. Look how James Cook attacked them. Look how Christian McCaffrey attacked him. Look at James Conner. That's what you got to go.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Because they're all shooting upfield. So it's going to be hard for you to get to edges. And you see they strung things out a lot. Get downhill. But again, the defense ain't forced turnovers. You see how different this defense looks? How different this team looks when they don't get turnovers? When you can't put that offense on a short field,
Starting point is 00:24:46 when you can't get picked fixes and scooping scores. You see how this team look? I mean, y'all might not like my analysis. Oh, you a cowboy hater. But the facts speak for themselves. I ain't told one lie. I told him last week. I said it like that.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I did like my ex. I like him. I just don't trust him. I like the cowboy. I just don't trust him, Mo him. I just don't trust him. I like the cowboy. I just don't trust him, Ocho. I just don't trust him. I just don't trust him. I don't know what you want me to do.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I don't know what they want me to do with that, Ocho. But that's a good one right there. But Miami got another garlic. Think about it. They got the Ravens. they got the Ravens coming up and then they got closed out the season at home with the Bills really needs it because Buffalo's not at the
Starting point is 00:25:32 woodwork out of the woods yet because they need these last two games to get themselves into the playoffs because I don't believe they might can catch I don't know if they can catch the Dolphins the Dolphins probably need to win one of these last two games because the Dolphins probably need to win one of these last two games because the Dolphins are trying to like, hold on
Starting point is 00:25:48 maybe if the Ravens, hey if Sam Fran take care of the Ravens tomorrow we'd never next week we in the catbird seat, we the number one seat matter of fact, you right, because obviously the Dolphins are already in the playoff, they 11-4 they second in the AFC right now, so if the Ravens
Starting point is 00:26:04 do lose, who the Ravenven got sam fran tomorrow night oh boy that's gonna be a good one yeah god damn and i don't want to i don't want to underestimate the raven defense because they know telling what raven defense come to play right but it all is based on matchups. Matchups. How do they match up well against IU and goddamn Debo and Christian McCaffrey? Ain't no telling what's going to happen. Yeah, but the Ravens and that defense better be on its best behavior because we know what they do at home. They annihilate people. It ain't no close ball games.
Starting point is 00:26:39 It ain't no walk-off field goals. They beat people by 21. They beat people by 17. Right, right, right. We saw them go on the the road and we saw the job they did against the eagles we saw what they did what we thought was a good cowboy yeah cowboy team right we saw what they did to seattle twice we saw what they what they did to the rams now maybe this is a different rams team that's going to come that's going to come at the end of the season. But we saw them, they take teams apart. And especially when they got their entire arsenal,
Starting point is 00:27:10 when Iuke and Debo and Kittle and Trent Williams and C-Mac, when they're playing, and Jennings, they got tremendous guys that run up to the catch. Offensive line is very good. They can run block. They can pass block. Brock Purdy has been sensational. I believe he's still
Starting point is 00:27:27 the MVP right now. It'll be interesting to see how the game... And the defense is playing well too. Yes, yes, yes. Now, they're not suffocating. But, Tredavious Ward. Boy, he the real deal. Who do you match him up on?
Starting point is 00:27:44 Do you put him on, say, Flowers? Do you send him with on you put him on Zay Flowers do you send him with Odell does he travel you send him with Odell because Zay Flowers is a little to me it'd be a mismatch even though Zay is good but Zay is a bigger corner he's a bigger corner so you need to put him on Odell
Starting point is 00:27:58 you have to have someone small Ward yeah you say Zay is a small receiver yeah i don't want yeah i don't i don't want i don't want yeah that's a mismatch that's a mismatch yeah so uh it's gonna be very interesting to see how this game shapes out uh the cowboys they lose on the road again the questions are still going to be there i'm gonna going to have the same, I'm going to put the same questions on the test until you
Starting point is 00:28:27 answer the test correctly. That's what I'm going to do, Ocho. I'm going to give you the same questions. Don't ask me, people want us to lose. No, no, no, no. You don't get to reap the benefits of being on America's team. And then when you don't perform and we ask why you talk about,
Starting point is 00:28:46 we want you to lose or we root against you. No, no, no. You reaping the benefits of being on America's team. You own. That's why you think you get all these chunky suits. Why you think you get all these commercials?
Starting point is 00:28:57 Why are you getting all these seats? These are the mattresses commercial, right? You think you get that because why? Because there are other quarterbacks that's playing better than that. There are other defensive players playing better than Micah. You get that for one reason. Well, it's not the only reason,
Starting point is 00:29:14 but it's a large part of the reason because you're on the Cowboys. So, you want all that, right? Okay. So, when we come and we ask questions, what's going on?'t be mad don't be bad yeah do like the dolphins there was a narrative out there they can't be good team they can't be team with a winning record but it came up and they showed up ta-da exhibit a you know you're
Starting point is 00:29:38 in the courtroom your exhibit a okay dollars okay now beating, I don't know who they got. They got the Giants again. I think they got the Giants again. Who else? They got the Lions. Lions. Oh, that's going to be a good game. Oh, that's going to be a good game.
Starting point is 00:29:54 They got the Lions and they got the Commanders. J Smooth 41. Shea Ocho, please tell me why Dallas has no run game. O-line can't stop a part. Warner team. Rowntree is questionable besides CD. People will blame Dak. No, hold on. Ocho, please tell me why Dallas has no run game. O-line can't stop a part. Warner team, Rowntree is questionable besides CD. People will blame Dak. Now, hold on.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Ocho, I said this many years ago when they got rid of Amari. And I understood why. Because they wanted CD Lamb to be the number one receiver. And Amari said, I ain't going nowhere. Look at Brandon Cook. And I think he's a solid receiver. He's had a thousand yards in new england uh uh new orleans he's been yeah yeah sensational but he ain't amari and michael
Starting point is 00:30:35 gallop has not been the same since that knee injury don't i understand he'll make a play here there but he's not the same receiver ochcho I like Tolbert he made a big time catch over Xavier Howard he's young he needs to put more of these more of these catches and games together but just imagine if you got CD and you got Amari now I don't know if anybody knows this Amari has the second most 200 yard receiving games in NFL Yeah. He and T.O. are the only two men to have three 200-yard games, one on three different teams. Now, you tell me you have C.D. doing what he doing, and you have Amari.
Starting point is 00:31:15 How would this offense look? It'd look crazy. It'd be crazy. But I think, obviously, it was a money situation, right? They didn't want to pay whatever it might have been. It wasn't the money because Jerry got the money. They didn't think Amari was playing up to the $20 million price tag. Well, they purposely weren't giving him the opportunity to make sure he played up to the $20 million.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Don't get me started on that. Because here's the thing. That's a whole other conversation. They felt they overpaid to begin with. They felt that the only reason they gave him $20 million was to keep him away from Washington because he was a free agent. They didn't franchise him. He was a free agent. Washington put the money out on the table. So he's like, if I'm going to get 20 million, I might as well get 20 million,'re in free agency and you want somebody, you got to overpay. Because if the money's the same,
Starting point is 00:32:08 why would I leave you and have to learn an entirely different system, get familiar with a whole different quarterback, learn a whole new city. If I'm married, I got a girlfriend, now we got to learn a whole city over. If the money's the same, I'm going to stay. Stay, right.
Starting point is 00:32:23 You're going to have to make me, you're going to have to do something, pay me more than what i'm worth right now it's a situation like the uh raiders now green bay did say okay we'll match but he's like if y'all match 137 million no state taxes that's about eight percent over the life of the contract I'm going to save me probably about 10 to 11 million dollars 10 to 11 million dollars that'll go a long way because I ain't going to be playing football forever
Starting point is 00:32:52 so that's how you have to look at it so the Cowboys felt well we really didn't want to play Amari 20 million to begin with we just didn't want him to go to a division that's the last thing you want Ochoa to go to a division rival and I got to deal with you twice a year now and now he gonna be feeling some type of way that's why teams are very very cautious about trading within the division division right i mean more times than not they try to trade you completely out of the conference hey you're
Starting point is 00:33:19 an afc now you go to the nfc if you're in the nfc you go to the afc and the funny thing about it is if you feel that much about that certain individual going into division and you don't value them, if you don't value them, it shouldn't matter where they go because you don't want them anyway. You don't want them in the fact that you don't want them in the division. That tells you all
Starting point is 00:33:38 it is. Stop saying that. It's like a young lady you're dating. I don't care where you go, but don't you date my homeboy. Don't you date somebody from my school. Don't you date nobody from my school. Come on, Ocho. I like where you went with that.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I like where you went with that. That's a good one. I don't care, but I do care. I care that you stay away from him. Right. That's a good analogy. I like that one. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Hey, that's nasty work, too. Yeah, yeah, man. Ooh, Ocho. Ooh oh oh oh oh i know you don't know this oh so we got 26 000 on krimmer eve hey merry christmas oh it's oh hey um it's gonna be midnight yeah merry christmas wait hold on not yet we gotta wait till it hit midnight it's 11 59 yeah you know 11 hit midnight It's 1159 Yeah So you know 1159 mean it's Christmas You know You know Santa got

Starting point is 00:34:56 You got to wait till everybody else get up. You know, once midnight hit, my grandma used to let me open up one gift. All right, boy, come on. Get up now. Open up one gift
Starting point is 00:35:02 and the rest of them you wait till the morning. Barney and Mary Porter wasn't playing that. You open up a gift by 7 right, boy, come on. Get up, man. Open up one gift, and the rest of them, you wait till the morning. Barney and Mary Porter wasn't playing that. You open up a gift by 7.30, 8 o'clock. You couldn't get up early. In the morning? What? Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Wake up. You open a gift when they wake up. Yeah. Hey, you know, I'm restless. I'm kicking my feet. Right, right. Boy, be still, my grandma. Boy, be still.
Starting point is 00:35:28 You know, I try to do everything to get way ready up hey you know what i love i know we're gonna get back to the football topic but well you know what i love about christmas day is the presents you know it's all good today is uh obviously french fry you know my one year old she gets to experience her first christmas where she actually knows what's going on. So she's got presence. She sees the light. She's excited. She can talk a little bit now. So I can't wait to see her face in the morning. But in Miami, I'm not sure how you guys celebrate. A lot of people get four-wheelers, Yamaha Banshees, and we love the ride in the streets. And I think I might do that today. I think I might do that today. Find somebody, a friend of mine, and get a dirt bike
Starting point is 00:36:06 and just ride in the streets. We'd be like 50, 60 deep. Nope. That ain't what we're doing. I ain't going to say that's not what they do. That's not what I do. My grandfather once told me when me and my brother
Starting point is 00:36:16 asked him for a motorcycle, he said, boy, they call it asphalt. It's your ass and it's your fault. No, sir. That's what he said. So that's out of the question, don't you? We don't fool with that.
Starting point is 00:36:28 You was in the country. I know you rode four wheelers and dirt bikes. No. No, no, no, no. What you call them? My grandma was going to play. My grandmother. And we couldn't even.
Starting point is 00:36:37 I wouldn't even risk it. I wouldn't even risk getting on one away from home. Because if I got hurt. Right. They're going to hurt me. Word. As because if I got hurt, they're going to hurt me as soon as I get well, they're going to hurt me again. So, God, leave that alone. You know what, baby? I saw that boy on one of them old sickles.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I saw, yeah. Yeah. That baby boy, I don't know which one it was, but I think it's that baby boy. Oh, no. Come on, man. No, hell no. I love that, man. Oh but i think of that baby boy oh no come on man no hell no i love that man you you oh just the smell of that gasoline it they don't smell like regular gas you know you got to mix it man that smell and ain't nothing like you know what else i'm like oh joe
Starting point is 00:37:17 we play ball and i used to play on the old asphalt and you look down at that thing and you don't see nothing but that white meat and here i look down at that thing and you don't see nothing but that white meat. And here I am black as I am, but I don't see nothing but white meat. So imagine you up there. Go ahead. Hold on. Speaking of old school asphalt, when you grew up, y'all played in the middle of the street? Yeah. And when the cars come, you yell freeze and wherever you're at, everybody got to stay
Starting point is 00:37:42 right where you're at until the car go by? Yeah. Man, what about throw up tackle? Y'all play throw up tackle? We use the short. Tackle the man with the ball. Yeah. We call it tackle the man with the ball.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Yeah. Okay, we call it throw up tackle right here. Yeah, absolutely. Okay, okay. What do you think you learned? Hey, they bust you up, Ocho. You better get good. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:01 You got to. Oh, that's some good memories, man. Let's see. Here's the game I want to get to. Where is it at? Flacco? Oh, yeah. How you know I was going there?
Starting point is 00:38:13 Ocho, let's be real. And that's what we do. We real with each other. Yeah. At no point in time, since his return, last year, the little five, six games that he played, and this year, has Deshaun Watson looked as good as Joe Flacco looked in the last three games? Tell me I'm lying, Ocho. No, you're not.
Starting point is 00:38:30 You're not lying. But my question to you is, is as good as Deshaun is, as good as he was and got the money based on what he did in Houston, he has a good supporting cast, a good supporting cast there offensively. Can you explain to me why he doesn't look the way Joe Flacco has looked in just four games? I don't know. I'm asking you. You have a better eye than I do.
Starting point is 00:38:52 You have a better eye than I do. I'm just looking at it from surface level, from watching from TV. How did Joe Flacco come in and in four weeks look like that? Off his couch? You know, if you know what if you if you notice what they're doing it's the same scheme they do a lot of play action and Joe
Starting point is 00:39:10 got a big time arm you remember the throw that he made last week on the over route to Amari yeah I called Ari yeah and a whole lot of guys gonna fit that ball in there like that right you see the big first ball that he threw to 75 yarder mm-hmm Joe
Starting point is 00:39:24 Flacco I mean look Joe you question his arm did you see the big first ball that he threw to 75 yarder. Joe Flacco. I mean, look, Joe, you ain't never questioned his arm. Did you see the ball placement though? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:36 And now I'm sure people, fans in Cleveland, like, okay, we see what this offense can be. Right. With Amari and then Joku. And they run the ball. Now, they didn't run the ball great. I mean, 47, 58, 59, minus 5, 54 yards. 54 yards on 20, 27, 29, 30.
Starting point is 00:39:59 They didn't run the ball great. They didn't run the ball great. But Joe Flacco was 27 to 42, 366, three touchdowns, two interceptions. Amari Cooper had 15 targets, 11 catches, 265, which is a team record. Hey,
Starting point is 00:40:21 Ocho, if I see it, you don't think the front office in Cleveland see it? You don't think the fans in Cleveland are asking their family members at the bars and at the game, why we didn't look like that when a guy is getting 250,
Starting point is 00:40:36 a quarter of a bill fully guaranteed? Why we haven't looked like that? Now, and remember I said, Ocho, at some point in time, we're going to have to start making excuses. We can't keep saying, well, you know, he missed a year and this and that. Now, and I told you, and remember I said, Ocho, at some point in time, we're going to have to start making excuses. We can't keep saying, well, you know, he missed a year and this and that. Because Joe Flacco got off his couch.
Starting point is 00:40:52 Yeah. Off his couch, he's driving his kids. I think Flacco got like five or six kids. He's driving, he's in carpool line. In the line. Yeah. Because remember, he had a couple of decent games last year from the Jets. Wasn't he on the Jets?
Starting point is 00:41:07 I think he was on the Jets. But the thing you never questioned about Joe was his arm talent. Yeah, he's always had a big arm. Always had a big arm. And if he gets to the playoff, playoff Joe. Playoff Joe the real deal, man. And the funny thing about it is the Browns are a team. What they're doing right now and the confidence that they've built in joe and the way they going offensively man don't you don't
Starting point is 00:41:33 want to see the browns yeah you don't want to see the browns offensively and the damn defense ain't bad they ain't bad yeah oh no then they're watering them boys be playing some ball now the game probably shouldn't have been as close i mean it was 36 for uh 36 22 it shouldn't have been that close joe doesn't turn the ball over because you look at davis you look at davis mills and case keenum combined they had 201 passing yards on 26 of 49 attempts. So they slightly, they slightly over 200 yards or 40 or damn near 50 pass them attempt. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:09 So, but Joe was throwing it today and you mentioned they had an interception. They had two interceptions. They sacked the quarter. They got up to the quarterback. They had three sacks. Yeah. I had two,
Starting point is 00:42:30 they had two interceptions, twoceptions three sacks uh they look good they they i didn't think you and i had to discuss i was like if we were talking about ojo when we found out that deshaun was gonna miss the rest of the season they i like man they can't go nowhere i mean come on now with with the quarterback they got come come on, OJ. I didn't see Joe Flacco. I didn't see Joe Flacco. He wasn't on my radar. I got a question for you. Yes. And I want you to play GM. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:52 So with Joe Flacco playing the way you played, what do you do coming next year? You know the business much better than I do because I don't like the mean. I don't like the business side of it. I don't like the politics. But don't like the business side of it. I don't like the politics. But you would be able to answer this. I think you're almost forced to have to keep him.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I mean, you still owe him $185, $190 million. Who are you going to get to take that? You going to pay somebody $190 million to go away? I'm just curious. You know, you got to be. With Joe playing the way he's playing that, this ain't no just, you see what Joe has done the past four weeks?
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yes, I have. Because here's the thing, Ocho. It's kind of like when they say it's cheaper to keep her. But I've seen people, I've seen men that are billionaires that say, I'd rather pay you leave than keep my money in state. So,
Starting point is 00:43:52 this is the question. Can you trade him? Who's going to eat that contract? And, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:02 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:02 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:02 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:03 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:04 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:04 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and,
Starting point is 00:44:04 and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and. You don't think nobody eat that? No? Ocho, plus here's the thing. You got to sell, this is what you got to sell. Not only do you got to sell it to another team, you got to sell it to their fan base. Mm. Yeah, okay. The hardest thing was to convince, and this is totally different,
Starting point is 00:44:22 was Andy was all in. Everybody wanted Mike. how do you sell that to the fan base right i mean it's only one way to fix it obviously if they if he's gonna have to he's gonna have to he's gonna have to build his he's gonna have to be he's gonna have to he's gonna have to be immediately next year he's gonna have to have to be the last Deshaun Watson that we saw in Houston. That we're used to when he was in Houston. He got to. He got to be.
Starting point is 00:44:49 Okay, okay. Because he's going to be on a very short leash. The Browns picked him to the third straight win, third with Joe Flacco as a starting quarterback, 368, three touchdowns, two pick. Now they're now three and one as a starter.

Starting point is 00:55:22 did wrong for buying that little tree yeah Ocho you know damn well you can't have a Christmas tree that's shorter than the baby. Listen, you need to understand women. When a woman says, listen, when a woman says, baby, go get a tree. She didn't give me no specifics on size, color. What the hell you listen if you send me to get a tree i'm going to get the cheapest tree i can find because it's it's one day we're gonna take pictures i know you're all about aesthetics and it came with lights look at that little tree boom it ain't it's the same size as french fry yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. A Christmas tree shouldn't be the same size French fryer.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Well, actually, actually, no, that's her fault. Because if you wanted a big tree in this whole production, you could have went and got it yourself. How about this here? You knew. Why would you send me? You know I'm going to go find the cheapest tree I could possibly find. You dug that up. You didn't go buy that tree. You dug that up. You ain't even going to buy that tree.
Starting point is 00:56:25 You dug that up on the way to the tree. Ocho, but this is what I want to, hey, Real. I want to know why the hell you wait on Christmas Eve to get a tree to begin with. Because you get the best deals the day before Christmas. You get the best deal. I just did my shopping yesterday. It's a day. You get the best Christmas deals do my i just did my shopping uh yesterday and today you get the best christmas deals right before christmas hit well if that's the case how about you might as well if that's
Starting point is 00:56:51 the case you should have waited till uh the 26th because all the christmas trees gonna be worth five dollars and just put that put it up then i mean you want the best deal hey i do the same thing every year before she came along i always waited a day before christmas to get my tree because i get a better deal. Or you get some, you know, sometimes they be a little scruffy. You know, it be the ones nobody want to pick out.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Boom, but I got tired of, I got tired of the pine smell. I got tired of the bristles falling off and messing up the house. So what I do, I started getting little tiny trees like this. And it's efficient. And it's not about,
Starting point is 00:57:23 it's the thought that counts. There ain't no no thought i think you wrong i well she thought you were crazy who you brought that little ass tree home i i think i think it works it doesn't it works just fine where are you in the chat red if you're in the chat if you love us and it's christmas send us a thousand dollars right now how much you love us i had a treat i had a tree about this tall. But I was in an apartment when I was in Denver. And so I just put it up.
Starting point is 00:57:52 I put it out like three weeks before Christmas. Plug it in the wall. They take it out, put it right back in the little storage area. But Ocho, you got kids. Ocho, it was just me. It does the job, though. It's doing the job. The kids worry about the presents. They don't really care about the tree
Starting point is 00:58:06 You can't put nothing up under there but a bow You ain't put no presents up under there I am the bow We put the presents around You put the presents around the tree Not under the tree Under the tree is when you was young Now you put them around the tree
Starting point is 00:58:19 If you put the presents around And stack them presents up You ain't gonna be able to see the tree Man that look like a little cactus Ocho if you put the presents around and stack them presents up, you ain't going to be able to see the tree. You ain't going to be able to see the tree. Man, that look like a little cactus, Ocho. Man, if I ain't know, man, I swear you living in Arizona. You put lights on a cactus and try to fool somebody and tell me that's a Christmas tree. Man, friends probably going to get a finger prick

Starting point is 00:58:49 I thought I did a good job. Real, he didn't do no good job. I didn't spend money. I didn't spend money on the tree, but I spent money on the gifts, and that's what it's all about. It ain't about the gifts. Obviously, we know what the day is for, but the tree is sufficient, and it's going to get the job done. Did Rell send us our money? Rell sent money.

Starting point is 01:21:33 Right. Right now, because he won't do. He will need to eat it when I get done. Of course, you say, oh, you you try the finals yet. Also, favorite game outside. Yeah. Oh, excuse me. It's an ultra. Yeah. You try the finals yet, also favorite game outside Ocho. You tried the finals yet, also favorite game outside of EAFC.
Starting point is 01:21:52 Last video game you played, no offense, but I'm trying to say Technobowl. God damn. Nah. You took me back. Your last game you played was 10-yard fight. Nah. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:05 I'd have to ask my daughter. She upstairs asleep. I mean, she probably was 2002. She probably was, I don't know, 9, 10. I don't know. It's been a while. Ocho, I don't know. It's been a while. I don't know. Oh, Joe,
Starting point is 01:22:25 I didn't have time. My time. Oh, Joe had time for video games. Now I did not. Oh, Joe, I wake,
Starting point is 01:22:32 I wake up at nine. I wake up and I would wake up. I would eat breakfast. I go to the track. I would spend two hours on the track. I come back, eat. I would nap.
Starting point is 01:22:42 I'd go to the gym for two hours. I would come back, sit in the cold tub, take a shower. I would stretch back, eat, I would nap. I'd go to the gym for two hours. I would come back, sit in the cold tub, take a shower. I would stretch. That was, and then I would get massages three days a week. So I really didn't have time. Okay, okay, okay. To like, my mind, and I was, all I was thinking, I'm writing down, okay, what do I want to do this year?
Starting point is 01:23:00 Okay, how am I going to do this? What do I need to do? A, ABP, I need you to send me, send me all the practice cut ups of every time I ran Y out send me the cut ups of every time I ran Y choice send me the game cut footage of when I ran
Starting point is 01:23:14 Blank or Drive or when I excuse me when I ran Fox 2 X and Y hook I'm just constantly watching okay damn that's why he. So, Ocho, I didn't. But listen, I didn't do it to the extent you did it, but I did it, but I also had my time to be able to enjoy the things that I like to do
Starting point is 01:23:36 when I want to get away from the game. Like you have to have something that gives you. Huh? I would go to the movies. Let me tell you what I did. Okay. See, you're just not a gamer. I understand. I get it. I get it. I went to the movies. I go to the movies let me tell you what i did okay you see you you just not a game right i understand i get it i went to the movies i i went to them i went i think it was
Starting point is 01:23:50 probably about 10 30 11 o'clock i went to the movies i got home about about 1 a.m right i saw six movies and people said well why did you say i want to see if I can do it? Right. I would push myself. I would go two days. I wouldn't eat. Just to see if I could do it. I wanted to know because I'm going to ask my body. I will call on my body in the fourth quarter. Right. I needed to respond.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Hmm. I can't ask about you. Can't ask the body to give you something you didn't give it. You got to be able to put the you all know what a man can do until you put him to the test. I'm trying to put you to the test. Every time I run around, I'm trying to put a DB to the test. I'm trying to put the line back into the test because I don't know if you can pass the test that I'm going to give you. Right.
Starting point is 01:24:37 So but I got to give myself the test first because I can't ask you a question that I don't know the answer to answer to. I like that. So that was your man. because I can't ask you a question that I don't know the answer to. Answer to. I like that. So that, Ocho, man, like I said, my kids, I love my kids so much because of what they didn't get an opportunity
Starting point is 01:24:52 to do with their dad. And I was wrong for that, but that was the only way I knew. That was the only way I knew. And, you know, when they, you know, they come at different times. My son hadn't been here in a while. He's married now. My daughter in law got my grandson.
Starting point is 01:25:10 But the two girls, they come and, you know, and we have conversations and especially the oldest one, the oldest one. And she's she's kind of more of a talker. And so I'll be laying in the bed and you come dead. What you doing? I let nothing. So you get in the bed and we'll talk about things. You like, you know, you know how much she appreciate what i did and although she didn't understand she appreciated and she understands now as she's an adult and she understands why i work so hard yeah and like find things that that and i always told him look i never pushed him in any direction until i saw the direction they were going in once I saw the direction they were going in. Once I saw the direction they were going in, now I'm going to push it because I never wanted my kids to get to be 25 or 30 and said, I only did something because you wanted me to do it, dad.
Starting point is 01:25:57 So I was always mindful of that. Now, once you start something, you're going to finish it. You might not be a you might not do it again next year, but you gonna finish it out this year you don't got my money and i had to buy all this you know what for you to do you're gonna do it but now i had a singular focus like i said i was no good that's why i'm not people like why you're not married because i had a singular focus football i was married to football i loved it and i didn't have no affair i didn't cheat on it yeah so yeah balance is good though baby ain't no balance to greatness ain't no balance to greatness you think tom brady had a balanced life you think lebron james had a balanced life
Starting point is 01:26:36 jordan tell me the great player kobe that's your favorite guy kobe you You think Kobe had a balanced life? You think Jeff Bezos and all these guys, I ain't talking about now. It's easy to be balanced now. You're worth $130 billion. You're worth $200 billion. You're worth $50 billion. Getting to that point, the trials and tribulations that
Starting point is 01:27:04 you got to go through to get to that point. Okay. I get where you're going. And the thing is that you have to have somebody. Because here's the thing. People ask the question, say, why does movie stars marry other movie stars? Because the other know what it's like to live that life. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:19 In the character. Right. To become something. To become someone. in the character right to become something to become someone so unless you've been there and know what it's like how can you possibly understand understand i think that's a good one that's right you're right and so people but why why you eat the same thing over and over why you do the same thing they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over. Over and over and over and expecting different results. I did the same thing over and over hoping for the same results
Starting point is 01:27:50 because I had seen that success. That's all I wanted. I like that. Or of it. I mean, success is a drug, Ocho. Yeah. Do you know what it's like when you scored your first touchdown? You wanted to score another one. When you got your first 100-yard game, you wanted a 200, Ocho. Yeah. Do you know what it's like when you scored your first touchdown? You wanted to score
Starting point is 01:28:05 another one. When you got your first 100-yard game, you wanted a 200-yard game. You wanted another. It's like, and there's nothing like that. They say heroin,
Starting point is 01:28:16 which is one of the strongest drugs. They say that first high, they call it chasing the dragon. They say you chase that. You want that feeling one more time yeah but it takes more and more to get that that's why you're od i wanted that feeling i got with the very first touchdown that i scored the very first time i saw those fans stomping their
Starting point is 01:28:39 feet and i saw them in my jersey and they were applauding what I did. Oh, man. I never lost sight of that, the Ocho. They were applauding what I did, not who I was. And a lot of times you say, well, guys get lost because everything, what they do is football or basketball. That's what I did. That ain't who I am. Right.
Starting point is 01:29:03 I'm a chameleon. I play football. I can I am I'm a chameleon I play football I can talk I can motivate you I can coach you I can teach you that's what I need guys to understand sports is what you do
Starting point is 01:29:17 that ain't who you are but do you know who you are if I took that away from you what could you be come on we'll we'll we'll we'll move it on uh pause most shannon you're so good on this so much better than tv has the very smart way he's not limited to 90 seconds pause more i really appreciate that it is what it is uh uh pause you know, that's what TV is. I like the four. But I do like the format that I had.
Starting point is 01:29:48 Undisputed. I do. I love the format of ESPN because it does give me a chance to expound. It's a lot easier when it's a one on one with just Ocho and I. Because and plus we can take as much time as we want. Yeah, it's our show. We we don't have. And so we're not limited we can go we hey because
Starting point is 01:30:08 originally ojo you remember we were only supposed to be 25 minutes we don't that ain't gonna work in the first night we're like man we went an hour i said but man o, we left so much on the floor. And I'm like, bro, I mean, what happens if we go an extra 30 minutes? But I'm like, we're still leaving so much material on the floor. There's so much stuff that we need to get to. And the next thing you know, we was at two hours. And so, but I really appreciate you guys, man. Yeah, you know what i really like though and i don't think people understand like what we have and no disrespect to undisputed no disrespect to
Starting point is 01:30:51 first take but what we have the formula the format in which we which we operate it's so good yeah it's so authentic it's so organic because there's a there's another element to it where we can be ourselves oh for sure. Where things aren't scripted. Obviously, we're going to talk football. We're going to talk football. That's cool. That's cool.
Starting point is 01:31:12 Think about yesterday. Think about yesterday. What I loved about yesterday was the disagreement about boxing and you telling me to pick something and you getting upset and you getting angry and then me actually getting angry too because you know what you fall to i don't i don't i don't feel like changing the the the duel the duel and personalities the duel and beliefs and being able to maybe not even compromise and in that in that sense but just have opinions and standing on business on what you believe in and then coming right back the next day shit like nothing happened that's it like you can't get that and you can't get that nowhere
Starting point is 01:31:50 else that authentic that authenticity that we have the chemistry is unmatched yes it's unmatched that's god-given because the thing is god-given it is But here's the thing. You're passionate about what you believe in. I'm passionate. So you're supposed to have like, no, bro, no, it's not like that. This is what it's like. Because how can you not be passionate and be great at something? That's why they, what do they always tell you? Find something that you love and you can make money at it.
Starting point is 01:32:25 Yeah. Because you become passionate about it. And it don't feel like work. It doesn't feel like work. So many times, you know, hey, like what would. And so somebody said, man, if you weren't six foot and 200 some pounds, you wouldn't have been great. You wouldn't have been a great football player. So I'd have been great at something else. That's what a great football player so I'd have been great at something else
Starting point is 01:32:45 that's what I'd have been I'd have been great at something else but you never know what that something else would have been I hate when people say that because my thing was I put my focus on football sports so you mean to tell me with my mindset
Starting point is 01:33:02 I wouldn't have been a good lawyer really you think that that's what mindset, I wouldn't have been a good lawyer? Really, you think that? That's what you think? Wow. That would have been great. I don't know anything but greatness. I don't know anything about hard work. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:17 And when you're willing to work hard, you're willing to pay a price to sacrifice, oh, you could be great. But y'all, I don't let people tell me what I can and can't do Xavier Sampson said Merry Christmas Uncle Nocho love the show I stay locked down what's the best Super Bowl of all time to y'all well my first one Super Bowl 32

Starting point is 01:34:17 Oh, the Steelers. The Steelers against the Cardinals with Santonio Holmes toe-tapping the back of the end zone. Back of the end zone, yeah. That was a nice one. That's a corner. Hey, listen. Again, that Patriots-Falcons game that people thought was over because it was 28-3.
Starting point is 01:34:34 The Giants-Patriots. The Eli. That was a good one. Both of those Super Bowls were good because Eli made two gate throws. That throw to Mario Manningham in 2010. Manningham on the sideline. Oh, Joe.
Starting point is 01:34:47 Got his toes in. Oh, Joe. That was nice. Against two men. That was nice. And he got to get it up and down because the safety coming. Coming right away. And guess what?
Starting point is 01:34:58 Everybody knows in the stadium, like, they can see, like, oh, my goodness. He's about to get blown. The safety know he's coming and mario manningham knows he's coming coming yeah yeah so for me i a super bowl 32 because we beat the packers uh we were what 11 12 point underdogs and the nfc had won 14 straight super bowls so we broke the strangle hole so that my favorite joseph grosk wrote, donated $200 and said, my son wants to be a fullback.

Starting point is 01:43:46 points in a state meet. I did that. The best performance trophy meet. I was a class A. It doesn't happen often. I was in class A, and I was the best jumper in the state. Beat double A, triple A, quad A, five A.
Starting point is 01:44:02 As a matter of fact, I held a state record until, like, I had a state record for 35 years, 5 8. As a matter of fact, I held a state record until... I held a state record for 35 years, Ocho. I just want to see the footage. I know you got VHS. I know you got some VHS tape somewhere. I need to see the footage. I got a VCR.
Starting point is 01:44:19 Show me the footage. I didn't need no footage. You go back and look at the records, though. All right, I'm going to check the records. You go check the records. I'm going to Google the records right now. What's the name of the school? Glenville High School.
Starting point is 01:44:35 Glenville High School. Joseph Groshek just donated another $200. Go Pack, go. Shannon, could you imagine you and Sterling on the Packers together? No. He a ball hog. And I ain't like Ocho till I split the ball. No.
Starting point is 01:44:54 Sharing is caring. You learned that in kindergarten. I did. We shared enough when we growing up. Nope, nope, nope. At that point in time, Ocho now i had after i had started to develop now because you have to understand i'm three years i'm three years younger than he is so we're in high school at the same time even though we didn't go to the same college we're
Starting point is 01:45:16 in college at the same time so the comparisons were there even when i was in denver and he was in green bay so can you imagine if we're on the same team now it's time for me to make a name for myself it's time for me to show that I'm more than Sterling's little brother and even though man you know you got this I say my brother can't catch no passes from me
Starting point is 01:45:37 how you gonna get me somewhere I say you don't understand this ain't college yeah you see that that's a you see that. That's a, that's a, that, that, you see that? That number two? They still talking about that guy.
Starting point is 01:45:51 They still talking about him. No, but I think the thing was, it was best that he did. He was where he was. I was where I was. And because, you know, I was 192 in the seventh round. He was number seven in the first round. So obviously, and you know, he was good. He was a route runner.
Starting point is 01:46:08 He was a tremendous run after the catch. So you think he was a better catcher? A better catcher of the football than your third? He right here, Ocho. You see that right there? I don't know about that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a natural catcher of the ball. Yeah, I'm a natural catcher.
Starting point is 01:46:22 I'm a natural catcher, yeah. Boy, Ocho, what two players in the hall do you feel shouldn't be there in the hall man everybody that's in there shouldn't be there if they in there they in there for a reason and who the hell am I to say they shouldn't be man that's a loaded question
Starting point is 01:46:41 cause you know if they say they gonna say you know Hall of Fame member Shannon Sharpe said such and such. Oh. Right. So for me, hey, I ain't got no vote. I done did what I did. So that's y'all job. Y'all critique and do whatever you want to.
Starting point is 01:46:57 That's why I stopped asking. You know, that's like, bro, stop asking me. Y'all know. Y'all can put who y'all want to put in there anyway. So whatever. Merry Christmas. How did it feel when the Ravens went five weeks scoreless? And this is my third time asking.
Starting point is 01:47:10 Hope to see you. It was frustrating because the defense balling lights out. We didn't score a touchdown for five weeks. I think we won three of those games, didn't we? We won three of those games by not scoring a touchdown. That's how dominant our defense was. So you'll never see that again. No, hell no.
Starting point is 01:47:31 You'll never see that again. But it was frustrating. I think the thing that really helped me, Ray, and Woody, we were extremely close. And I remember having a conversation with Ray. He was like, Shay, come on, man. Y'all got to give us something. I said, I understand that. I said, Ray,
Starting point is 01:47:48 you do realize they take teams to Super Bowls, not defenses. Yeah. So it don't matter how great y'all are. We're going to figure it out. Right. We want two of the five. We want two of the five. Okay. One, two, lost three in a row um but i think the thing was ocho is that we figured out that how we needed to play
Starting point is 01:48:15 run the football stop trying to throw it trying to be something because ryan came from at that point in time i think the minnesota vikings had scored the most points in a season. He was the offensive coordinator when they had Randy and CeCe and Jake Reed and Robert Smith. They had that high-flying offensive line. I mean, the offensive... Yeah, and so now
Starting point is 01:48:37 you coming in there and you think, bro, you got me and Jermaine and Kadri and Travis Taylor was drafted in the first round. You got Patrick Johnson. Bro, you ain't Kadri and Travis Taylor was drafted the first round you got Patrick Johnson bro you ain't got that Travis Taylor yeah I said bro that ain't what we are we got Jamal who's a rookie
Starting point is 01:48:54 who's a battering ram let's use it and he's fast big man mom bro people I just wish if he'd have like really took it serious right
Starting point is 01:49:07 he'd have been in the hall yeah I ain't a guy his size I mean Jamal ran like 4'3 at 235 oh yeah
Starting point is 01:49:16 he can move he moving now yes yes and the thing was even when he was in college he would come to the track and work out with us
Starting point is 01:49:23 and I'm like like he went to he went to. And I'm like, what? He went to Doug. And I'm like, damn, who big fella? I'm like, man, wait. I mean, who you play for? He's like, man, I'm in college. College?
Starting point is 01:49:38 What big ass in college for? But hey, he was the real deal. Zach Miranda said, Uncle Nocho, love you guys. Such an inspiration. Feel like you guys are my own uncles.

Starting point is 01:50:29 modern NFL? Hell nah. Do you see Kelsey? You see Laporta? You see Hawkinson? Fredrickson from Dallas? No. What's the one from Chicago? Oh, you called Komet? Komet.
Starting point is 01:50:45 No, they're being used more now than ever before. What's the one from Chicago? Oh, you called Komet? Komet. Komet. No, they're being used more now than ever before. Because when I played, there were like two or three of them. Me. Early on, it was me, Britt Jones, Novacek, and Ben Coates. Hey, Jay Novacek. I forgot about Jay. Back in the late early 80s, it was basically
Starting point is 01:51:07 Ozzie and Kellen. That was it. It was one of two. Now, I mean, you got Kelsey, you got Laporta, you got Hawkinson, you got Kittle, you got Mark Andrews. There's more of them doing what only a handful
Starting point is 01:51:23 can do when I play. So, no, they've been game playing end because they're so skilled now. L.A. Velasco, Merry Christmas from Orlando, Uncle Nocho, my wife, Anil.

Starting point is 01:53:09 You don't like exchanging jerseys? You didn't exchange jerseys with nobody when you played? Mm-mm. No? Nope. TD and I traded Pro Bowl jerseys. Yeah. And Ray and I I'm talking about regular season
