Hello, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us again for another edition of Nightcap. I'm your favorite, ump Shannon Sharp, He's your favorite, number eighty five. One of the best route runners in the NFL history. Yes, oh, one of the man No no, no, you first of all?

Can I finish?

Okay? Go ahead?

Uh?

Chad O Jo Sinko Johnson. Let me tell you You're not better than Jimmy Smith. You're not better than Keenum Cardile. You're not better than Aaron Cox. You're not better than will It Flipper Anderson.

So stop. You not better than Sterling Shark Stop.

Okay, Okay, you finished? Let me know you're done?

Ye done started.

Let me tell you something. Everybody you just named, with all the respect, Jimmy Smooth is one of the best to ever do it and don't get the credit he deserves. But ann than your person out there running routes like this and stopping on the dime. There's only one person. Let me finish. Let me finis, let me stay. Stay with me. Now, there's only one person that will come out the huddle that would beg for bump and run.

Adams better runner than you.

Listen, I like, I like you going, but he is saucy. Let let's stay on topic though.

Let's lately, like I said, one of the best ride runners in the NFL.

History, be best. And Devonte will tell you what.

No, no, the guys, hey, y'all pulled the tape out there of the guys that I just dam and.

You play you put it on. Put that on me too? Why are you doing that?

Chicago Bears dominated the commanders justin Fields looked better a.

Lot better tonight.

He was fifteen to twenty nine, only fifty two percent completion, two hundred and eighty two yards, four touchdowns. DJ Moore had a monster game. Ten targets, eight catches, two hundred and thirty yards. The Bears run the air out of the ball also one hundred and seventy eight yards rushing, and the fourteen game losing streak that the Bears had coming into the game is no more.

I mean, think about this.

In his first thirty career game, Justin Field has zero four touchdown pass games.

Now he's had two in the last five days.

What do you think was the biggest difference in the Justin Fields that we saw, Let's just say the first half of last week or last.

Sunday and for the entirety of the ball game tonight.

I think tonight's game and the difference between tonight's game and last week game is the defense is a defense. The defense set the tone from the start of today's game in the first half. You got to remember, now, the Commanders didn't get going into the second half and finding a low efficiency and being able to run and being able to run and throw the ball into the second half of the game. At the end of the first half, the Commanders ain't had nothing but forty five

Last it was the Broncos right there.

Up, Yeah, they were up at one point twenty eight seven.

Listen, the Bears defense was allowed on almost twenty nine points a game. Man twenty nine points a game. There are not many teams. There are not many games you're gonna win when your defense is giving up to twenty nine points a game unless you got an all star team on offense or a bunch of track runners or something. But again, on Justin fields in, I'm happy. I'm very happy.

They only had three guys to catch pastes to night. They only had three guys that were targeting.

I ain't even mentioned that. I ain't even mentioned the tight end Cole Comet. Oh my goodness, man six six it's this third TD in two weeks. Ye man, unbelievable mismatch man. They got to take advantage of that. Man. Use the players you have at your disposal to your advantage and this is what you get.

Well, I've always felt this way.

I've always felt it's easy to call plays from behind than there's a head, because a lot of times you get a head and you're like, okay, should I keep my foot on the gas.

And then if you lose the.

Game, it's like, why a don't you run the ball. But then if you take the ball out of his hands, they say, well, why'd you take the ball out his head? He had it going. So it's very very hard. We saw what happened in the Super Bowl.

We saw a.

Twenty eight to three lead, a team try to keep their foot on the gas allow the other team to come back and win the Super Bowl when they should have run the football. It's either the second guest. When you're behind, you can just throw CAUs into the win. Everybody's already expecting you to lose. So what do we have to lose? We're already down by seventeen. We're down

It goes.

So we're talking about we're talking about justin field and credit.

He played well.

The completion percentage is not where he wanted to be, but he had some big time throw. DJ Moore finished him off with some big time run. But I thought the ODC did a great job of calling the game and putting him in a situation, letting him get comfortable, because just like anything else, once a quarterback gets comfortable, is now the field just opens up for you.

I think it's very important, and I say this all the time when it comes to officer players, especially the quarterback position. You have to understand, as the offensive coordinator calling plays, understand your player's strengths and your player's weaknesses, and always predicate the office of play calling towards the strength of your quarterback and those he has, those he has surrounded them, and everything will be okay. Of course, it's easy for me to say sitting behind you know,

Right.

I think sometimes you know, go give the quarterback an easy throw, let him get aloud, let him get you know, let him get a stop route, let him give something. Let him be like, oh yeah, I'm ready to a lot of times, you know, you start your first pass, you're trying to go fifteen twenty yards down the field. Give him some easy now. The wide receiver he just wants the ball. Just give him the ball. He just wants to feel it, so he's like, yeah, I'm in

To play place.

Before you settle, you settle in, you settle in, but after. But the Chicago really needed this game. They really needed this game.

Because that is a that is a a football town.

I understand the Bulls and the Cubbies, but man, the Bears are synonymous because of the harshness of the winners. And so the Monsters of the Midway when you expect us defense now they don't play defense like they once did and rest and so they lost one of the great defenders of all time, not just in Chicago, but in the NFL. Dick Buckers, tell your story my very first Super Bowl that I when it was out here in Pasadena.

Buffalo played the Cowboys.

The game was in Pasadena, but they have the NFL put all the players that come in.

Obviously for the festivities. We're in La.

So I wake up, get up one morning, I'm going to breakfast and I'm late going to breakfast. Sitting at a table is Dick Buckers, Ray Nisky, and Deacon Jones. So they're at the table. So I get my breakfast buffet style. I get my breakfast. I go sit down at the table by myself, and I'll never forget Ray Nisky say a little sterling, come.

On over here, Come on, you can sit with us. We don't bite.

So I get my stuff, I go sit with them, and uh, you know, they started talking deep. You know, Hey, I'm I'm I'm Deacon Jones, blah blahh you know, telling me, telling me the stories. Uh uh. Dick Buckets introduced himself Ray Nisky because he's a packer. My brother played for the packers. He just starts, he's like, he's like, you good, but you're not your brother.

Like you say that you don't know what. You don't know.

I might be in my feelings, I might feel it sometimes, right right right, But they he was he was, I mean he was.

He was great. Introduced himself tall.

You know, love the way you conduct yourself, You and your brother, your your mom should be proud of the way you know.

Your grandma should be proud the way she raised you. Guys.

And so man, we we we the NFL in this family. We lost the legend today.

Oh yeah, big time, big time. I don't I don't really have you know, I wasn't very fortunate. I wasn't fortunate enough as you were to be in a legends a legends presence like Dick Buckets, but obviously you know, knowing what he meant to the NFL and tooled the station of the Bears throughout the years and being one of the most feared men to play the middle back middle linebacker position.

Uh.

He is someone that the.

Bears are known for that Bill George is the first guy thought of to play the middle linebacker position. And so now you get Buckers, and then you get Mike Singletary now, and then after that you get Erlacker.

So the lineage, all those guys are Hall of famers.

And so now you like when you think of Bears, you think of middle the middle linebacker position, you think of That's it's kind of like what I'm trying to think of. What would it be like I guess what I'm trying to think of the captain of the Yankees. Uh. How prestigious that is to be a middle lot Yes, to be one of those to what be one of those guys to be thought of like a Buckets, like a Singletary, like a Bill George, like a.

Brian Urlacker, one of those guys. Uh. But it was a great honor and going.

To the Hall of Fame and when the Hall of Fame lunching and you sit around and you see Dick Buckets, and you see me and Joe Green, and you see all you see this guy, you see that guy you like, you just look around and you're just like, man, I didn't, I didn't didn't see those guys on television, but I heard stories about him, and I watched, you know, I watched, you know, watch them play on the internet once they

But it was an incredible honor to be in the.

Presence of them, and the respect that that the younger guys that came along, like myself Off and even the LTS, who's arguably, you know, a god in that room and of itself. The way they paid homage to those guys that came before them, it's just it's just an unbelievable feeling. Oh yeah, I don't know if you saw this yesterday, but re released.

I sat down with bes Mood last week.

Yeah, that's that's my boy. Now, that's my boy.

So I saw down with bes Mode and you know, bes Moe didn't do a whole lot of talking when he was in the NFL. And you know, basically his famous line was I'm just here so I don't get fired.

I just buy that action boss.

And so he opened up and he said some things that caught a lot of people's attention and it went viral. You know.

One of the.

Things that he said is that I don't don't bump. I don't bump with Pete. And I made when he said it, well, he said he don't bump with him, and so I'm like clarifying because we're talking about Russ and we're talking about Pete Carroll at the time. So I wanted some clarification because I didn't want any ambiguity. I was like, you don't you don't munt with who? He's out onl with Pete. He's out with Pete and so he gets out of him. Yeah, no, no, I'm hip.

Russ thought he was gonna have a big day.

He did and bea smoke, had a big day, and so he wanted to call him say, look, bro, I know you probably didn't have the day that you wanted, but I got your back, and there's gonna be games that I think I'm gonna rush for a buck fifty and two tubs and you're gonna have to have my back. So he wanted to reach out and call him, and he said that he got someone to like pass me Russell's number to me, and the guy didn't pass it to him. He told Russ to call him. Well, I

But basically he was saying how.

The momentum kind of shifted right from the team and the way they looked at Russ, the way they perceived Russ. Because remember when you and I talked about this. You can fool the media, you can fool the fans locker room. Now you cannot do it. And bas Mode a guy that doesn't have a hate bone in his body. He is real and as authentic as you're gonna get. So what was your big takeaway. I don't know how much of the interview that you saw.

I saw you listen and listen everything you do. You know, I pay attention I pay attention. I'd be I be locked and I be tuned in just so I can I can be but to uh for for moments like this. One of the things that I was told. Obviously, when you make it to the NFL, you got different people from different walks of life. You know, when you when you come in in that into that locker room, everybody ain't your friend, and everybody's not there to be your friend.

It's the one position you can't be standing office in the locker room, right right, right, yeah. But as the quarterback, you're the extension of a head coach. You're the extension of the general manager of ownership. You need to be a liaison. You did. I mean a lot of times you're talking to the offensive lineman one day, you're smoothing with the d lineman, you're talking to the receivers.

You really have to ingratiate yourself.

And people say, well, you can't be you don't understand the dynamic of a locker room. That's not because HR has has no bearing on production. And so it's different than a normal nine to five because, like you said, you got different races, different religion, different orientation, a lot of difference. But the one thing that you normally suppose the United US is the ability to want to win, right, And I told and I said this, and I've said this before, people look at me like I'm crazy.

I said that if.

The coach coach treat one player outwardly different than he treats the others, the other players would go to resent said player, right, And that's what started to happen because Pete started to be bold with it and he was treating Russ different, and Russ started to act different. Because I didn't want to get too much into it, but he brought that same attitude to Denver.

Ye see. And the funny thing is funny that it's funny that you just said that that he bought that same attitude, the different the way he the way things were run is because I heard about the separate the separate office space, the separate locker as all away from everybody else, the coaches.

Now true or not, he was upstairs, His office was upstairs with the coaches. So I don't know if it's true or not. Now I could get confirmation, but I don't. Even if I got confirmation, right, I'm not gonna go publish with it because it'll make him look for I heard Russ had told some players his door is always open, right, Did you hear what I just said that's what the head coach. That's what the coaches say. My door is always open. If you got a problems, you got something

Yeah.

I mean, listen, every everybody's different. Everybody's different. But I know you are. You're right, You're right. I'm not sure who he might have consulted with as far as being the quarterback. When you when your quarterback of a team, you have to be you do have to be open, you have to be personable, you have to be what's the I'm looking for, approachable to all, relatable, relatable. You don't have to change who you are. But your Peyton Mannings,

You know.

The thing is, oh, your people, the people love your religion, is what you what you do, and who you worship, who you go to bed with, who you wake up as that don't have anything to do. All they want to know is that you don't think Peyton Manning is a better player. But you ain't got to throw it in my face that you get certain perks Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. Think about this, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, John Elway, Dan Marino, none of the historically great quarterbacks.

Right?

And I got hold on. I want to talk to Oho. I got to call O Choe publicist to talk to the cent upo Ojo't laugh, oh show, no laugh. I got to set up a call with O Jo's publishers. That's my teammate. Now you my teammate. He ain't talking about somebody. I get it now outside sure you're not. Just finna pick up the phone and called me and everybody. Everybody didn't have my number, but if somebody would had to reached out, I'm gonna call them back from my number.

That's a teammate. I don't treat them even though we might not hang out.

But normally, as what I was playing in the Ulto Hot Club started, it started in a dorm in northern Colorado and Greeley where John Bobby, all the guys, the quarterbacks would come. Everybody would come hang out, drink, play video game play we know, play cards, roll dice, we just and that everybody would just come in. I'm not saying that you got it, you know, but I'm saying normally, when when, when, when guys are putting things together, just

Are looking around to see what could I count them? Man?

Okay, I see, okay, I see okay, I see you Tom Ruin the punter, I see. Sometimes guys would just stop by, Hey, what y'all got going on in here, just to see what's going on?

All right, we're gone.

And I think the locker room dynamic is very different than any other.

Works face in the world.

Yeah, and unless you've been in that hard, it's hard to it's hard to explain it, and it's hard to quantify the importance of a healthy locker room.

Right.

And the funny thing about it, not only the importance of a healthy locker room, but the importance of your leader. The leader of your team, the one who runs a show, the one the one who gets the credit for the wins, the ones when you do lose. He also has to bear the burden of the lost. He has to be the one front and center and reachable, accessible and making everyone else feel a part. So if he is in everything and including everything that we're doing, that makes it,

Why you think those guys run to a war off of Tom Brady. One through a wall for Peyton Manning. One threw a wall for John alway Man. We all we did was gamble with per Dim. So anytime we had a little poppy shop, we had a little poppy shop machine man.

One of the first.

Guys that putting the poppy putting it, putting it. Per Dim down trying to gamble with their way, and I'm trying and I'm trying to get it. We playing were playing cards, you know, we was playing cards at first. But you know how we have sponsors and things on the on the plane and Mike saying, look, guys, I don't mind you guys rolling dice or playing cards for money, but we got guests on it and that that's not a good look. So just wait till you get to

Yeah, right.

Go ahead.

The funny The funny thing about it is is Russ has a certain way that he conducts himself. He had a certain way that he does things. He has a routine, and I'm sure he's had this routine that he's always stuck to throughout his life, throughout his throughout his tenure when it came to playing the game of football, and I'm not sure if he had a great understanding on how important his presence was to not only the players, but the locker room and in that dynamic in general.

That's because the only thing I can base it on is my experience with Russ and he's always been great with me, awesome, But when you're doing a lot the locker room dynamic and you're trying to win because you're trying to get fifty two other guys. Because Russ is the leader the position of quarterback inn and of it, says, says, I'm a leader, and it's not always and it shouldn't always be like that. But the quarterback, more time than not, he's gonna have the se on his jersey.

Even if he's that good, comes to the territory, that's.

It, that's it. So hopefully I hope I agree with you. I hope Russ. Here's kind of what Besmo said. And you see, I mean, think about it. Russ was there for what a little bit of but ten eleven years. Yeah, the year he leaves, they give somebody number three.

Oh Joe, Yeah, old shoe.

I'm not saying it's supposed to be like paid Manning, nobody ever. I mean the eighteen But you can't wait a year. You can't wait two years, right right? And then you hear guys the moment listen, and you hear guys. Once he left, guys started to become more open, even Pete Carrollton, even Tyler Lockett. He tweeted, it's amazing what you can accomplish when people are not worried about who gets the credit. He Pete Carroll starts taking guys start

Feel that's all over it.

I know a lot of stuff about a lot of things in the locker room and a lot of things that's being said. But you know, way, that's Adam Sheff, the job, that's Jake. Let them be inside and let them break that. I'm gonna talk about you. I'm gonna talk about you. Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.

You can tell by I enjoyed it.

Yeah, By the the other sites that's picked up the clips of it, So I really appreciate y'all sharing that. Travis Kelsey asked the NFL to calm down with some of the tailor Swift coverage. So Travis said, they're overdoing it a little bit for sure, especially in my situation.

I think they're trying to have fun with it.

Man.

Check this out.

The New York Post reports the NFL admits they were the ones who pushed NBC and ESPN to run ads for the Errors tour for free.

Now, when have you ever known the NFL to do anything for free?

NFL don't do nothing for free because at the end of the day, the bottom line is always about a dollar.

There ain't nothing free but Salvation and Kreflo dollar and Joe Losting charged for that, so it ain't nothing free. And the NFA definitely don't charge. Let you run no free ads. They don't give you no free.

Ticket, No, sir, there's an angle. There's a different angle that we don't know about. You know what the angle might be?

Yeah, getting Taylor Swift to do the haftime show.

Talk to me now, it's chess, not check us. It's just chest not check us. And I know how to play and they know how to play.

At the end of the day, did you see the team viewership team, teen girls that watched the game that you.

Appear that.

Chess not checkers. The NFL know what they're doing. They smart, they smart. I am surprised. And when we talked about it, and I told you about it being even if it is somewhat real, when I talked about it being a pr and I ain't talk about Puerto Rico, understand the angle. Understand the angle and that in the dynamic of the connection and the wi FI that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift even being together. Yes, but it has and what it does for not only Travis Kelsey but for the

Get this right.

You got to play the game. You got you got to play the game.

Because Taylor's day. Taylor Swift gives the NFL a different set of eyeballs. Everybody Taylor, Taylor Swift, all the Taylor half of Taylor Swift fans, probably not NFL fans. NFL is trying to get more fans, trying to get more eyeballs.

Taylor Swift can do that.

Did it work?

It worked?

What percentage with the viewership up? Again? What percentage was it?

Team? I think Teen Girls was up fifty three percent.

Fifty three percent. That would have never tuned in man Chess not checklist.

Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, of course, I mean I know because here's the thing, and this is this is this is how we are if we love something until we get too much of it, and then we start because I said, oh, man, Taylor Swift, they need to stop showing on Taylor Swill and stop it. Y'all know who that is. That's Taylor Swill.

He playing, he playing, He just playing. He got he got. He got to come out and say that on the inside. I know he's feeling good.

I know. I know.

Jersey sales and shot up Lessen, they got all them extra Instagram follows. You got your podcast, new heights man listen, you got your commercials. Man child, please.

Everybody's benefiting from this because every all the NFL players probably aren't Taylor Swift. They're like, oh, that's Taylor Swift. Because now you've got two behemous together. You got the NFL, you got Taylor Swift fans, you got Taylor Swift, you got Travis Kelsey, one of the biggest stars in the NFL, probably herd bey'on say one to two. However you want to rank them as far as pop sensation traveling the world, Yeah about it.

Take advantage of it.

And the funny thing about it, this is the NFL. Obviously, the visibility is only so far, and then you have to Now you get Taylor Swift on your hip. Do you understand what that does for your brand? Globally? People that don't even watch the game of football. That taking Travis Kelsey not only to a different demographic, not only to a different age group and age bracket, but it puts eyes on not just the Chiefs, but you as well and everything you have going on. Travis Kelsey, I

This opportunity, huh, take advantage of this opportunity, Yes, sir, not local, global.

Excuse me?

The New York Giants apologize for bull and fans, he said. The person that's commenting on my performance, what does he do? Flip hot dogs and burger somewhere? Why would a lion concern himself with the opinion of sheet. First of all, bruh, I don't know. If you watch yourself on film, you ain't no lyon. You block it like a sheet and you keep you keep playing like that. Now you won't be flipping burgers, but you'll be on enfranchises of a burger other people that flip burger.

I don't know what.

I don't know what he was thinking.

Right, You see what I mean? On how players it affects him, even if it's think about this, Evanil's not playing well. Evan Neil has had an entire offseason preparing himself to get ready for football season. To do the best that he can at his job. Evanil also has been through a training camp. Evaneil also has been through a off season pro m of thirteen weeks to prepare

Get you social media? Play better?

He didn't play alto, he didn't play well last year, he's not playing this year. So if the fans fault that he's not playing, is the fans fault he's not playing well? Play better? Let me ask you a question. How many times when you play well you got booed? Huh?

How many times? How many times you played well?

Uh?

And you got in the and the fan booed you.

Oh I never got booged whether I was playing home a way.

They loved me everywhere, But and when and and and and even when I didn't play in the social media era. But if you're playing well, fans they might jump on your time and say, hey, guys, y'all the A eighty four.

You playing well, but y'all need to win some games.

Right right If you're playing well, So what does he expect the fans to do?

I mean, not criticize you when you're playing back.

That's that's that's the nature of the beast. That's the nature of the beast. And I think Evan Neil from from this point on and this could you know what this can affect people? You know that players, everybody, everybody is built differently, especially mentally mentally. This could this, this could tank you. You know, when you get to the point where you allow fans to affect you and your performance based off what they're saying. Oh that that that

What have you got your bro? That man that's flipping burgers.

And hot dog paying is hard old, hard earned damn money to come see your sorry but whill blocks time after time after time, block your own guy over and over again. Let Daniel Graham get sacked time and time again.

That guy is playing. Yes, Daniel j excuse me.

That guy is flipping those burgers, that's telling those hot dogs. He's spending his hard earned damn money to come watch your sorry but plate you don't lack. You don't feel no thing. You don't feel nothing.

You don't like. Man, you know what, bro, you know I'm right. You're y'all.

Right, y'all have every right to boot because I'm not playing well. No if you lash out to try to like, oh show him up. Oh you flipping burgers? Okay, It don't take anything to get that first big contract, because you get drafted, you can fool people get another big contract. That's what the dogs, that's what the lions do, right, Brother, you're not no lion, You're not. I don't know who told you that. And that seems like a good everybody want to be a lion now. And they're not cheatahs,

Right the problem?

Williams, you can say I'm a lion. Sam Martin can say.

I'm a lion.

Jason Kelsey, I can say I'm a lion while we while we on the while we're on the context and the topic of animals that that are based on what we are when we were on the field. You know what I was? Can I tell you what I was? What I was a I was a killer whale. Oh yeah, I was a killer whale. But anyway, listen again. I know fans are upset. I know fans are upset, obviously, Yeah, I mean, yeah they are.

O Joe seven and a half.

The dude is six seven and a half, three hundred and thirty pounds and can't block the sun out of his eyes, So damn right, I'm gonna upset.

Why are you being mean? Why are you being mean?

Did I lie?

I don't know. I don't know because I haven't watched him. I normally watch the skill.

Every Neil has allowed the sixth most quarterback hits and the second most precious.

How can I interest you in that?

You said number six, the sixth most.

He's he's allowed the sixth most quarterback hits and the second most precious.

So that means they are five people in front of him that are even worse than right.

And I'm sure their fans are boring their ass too while I'm talking about him. And once I find out who they are, if their fans blew them and they lash out at them, we'll get their ass on here.

But right now we're gonna see.

You know what, the funny thing is the other five that their team might be winning, but everything magnified now because the Giants aren't winning.

Obviously they're not winning. Yeah, okay, now you know no, they're not winning.

Because see the argument that you're trying to use is like if the police pull you over, why you start being all these people that's speeding? He said, you know what I caught you? Had I not you over for speeding? Yeah yeah, see, Hey, if somebody would have lashed out at their fan base, playing as pathetic as he is, maybe this would have been an opportunity to get them. But since he beat everybody to the punch, we got.

You right, Listen. I understand the fans frustration. I understand the fans frustration. For me as a player, it's hard for me to put myself in that situation. I mean as as a player because I never had that actually

I heard a heart.

Earned, got a heart earned goddamn money in this economy to come watch you play and you're talking, you know, so I understand both sides. I'm hoping this does wonders for him and he comes back and answers with his play on the field and gives the product that the fans want to see.

Oh, Joe, you can't play like what the elephant left on the showground and then expect me to applaud you. You let me tell you the guy you know who got the number one guy, the guys that.

F in front of him.

I was a good one.

Orlando Brown, he played for your Bengals. He's giving up the most quarterback pressure, yo, guy. Oh yeah, now look at you, and now you wonder to watch Joe Burrow. It's like he is, yes, Orlando Brown, that y'all paid big money to get him. He playing worth it. He playing worth it, Ebby Neil, And that's saying something because he playing like stirfry. So I don't know what. I don't know what your guy is.

Yeah yeah, I'm uh, I'm not gonna touch that.

Your guy move gout pain or something. Now that that's.

What we're gonna be.

All right.

We got the car Ons this week and we're gonna win. You know, listen, Joshua Don say something.

Joshua Don gonna take a test right before he played the Bengals' the test and do a number on you guy like that.

You know it cures everything. You know it can cure everything and make everybody happy. They can make the fans happy and make it. It can make the players happy and make the coaches happy. You know, it cures everything.

Y y'all not gonna do that.

Winning winning we were on the Giants, were on the Giants right now. Winning we're on the Giants, were not on the Bengals. We're not We're not talking about all Brown.

I'm talking about the Giants.

Okay, with that winning, trying to get what you're doing.

See what you doing?

You trumpet and you caving up for somebody else and got the heat on your own. Guy. Straight, he's what you did. You shot Brown. You shut Orlando Brown in front of eby Neil. So I pull at him.

Wait a minute, I ain't care for nobody, I said, I understand both, I said, I understand both sides. What you're talking about. Understand.

So if he number two, that means somebody's worse than him. So I had to.

Give you, I said, there are people that are playing worse. So I I I kind of understand where you're coming from. But again, one thing cures all winning.

That's it.

That's the only way to fix.

It better, because you can you play better.

Yeah, that that too, So what.

What what what role is playing better? What does that cure?

Oh, it's it's gonna come in. That's why, that's why you go.

That's what you want. That's why you're getting hitting his head.

Hey, listen, that's why you go out there every week. You practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. You have walked on Saturday, and you try to go out there and execute everything you work doing throughout the week and you hope it pans out the way it does.

Are we sure he's practicing every day?

Yeah?

You should be practice or.

You just going out the game time because it don't look like.

That you practiced.

Listen, the person on the other side of the ball, them defensive ends. Yeah, they get paid to hold one. They get paid.

Right to hear that?

Ain't right to hear that every player on Joe. Look, the dB gonna win some okay granted, but damn every plate. Look, Oh, think about this. I played tight end at two hundred and twenty eight pounds. I had to block a Reggie White, a Bruce Smith, a Neil Smith or Darren Thomas. I mean, so you not finna beat me every damn play. That's not gonna happen, even at two twenty eight. I'm a big receiver, but at some point in time, pride gotta kick in that man, I don't I know who you are,

Yeah, you're right, you're right, but see, mentally you built different. Mentally, you're built different obviously this day and a. But you know, I don't want to say kids, because they're not kids, but you know it's they wired differently. And I think he's gonna be okay. I think he's gonna be okay.

I hope I didn't say.

I didn't listen. I'm not saying he's not. He's not playing well right now, but I'm hoping the ties turned for the better for him and that team in general, so the fans can have something to cheer about.

For a change. I know you saw this. Rock Party said.

He still lives and split the rent with a roommate in San Francisco and drives the Toyota Sequoia oh Yo. I think Rock Party is doing an unbelievable job. But unless I'm in college, I ain't living with no grown ass man. Two grown ass man should not be sharing no part, splitting no rent. I'm gonna get a five, I get three. I get three in the fifty square feet and live by myself before I split a five of square feet with another big old rusty Do do you know.

What the cost of living is in San Francisco?

I have head. I ain't staying. I'm coming to this eighth.

Did he say he never said his roommate was a guy? Did he I stay with me, I stay stay with me? He never? He never said his roommate spinning the rent. Listen he did know it's a woman. I guarantee it's a woman. Let me tell you something. You got a girlfriend. He probably got a girlfriend and he spent with her. Good you don't think so?

No, Look, when I come home, the only dirty drawers in the pot up in the corner gonna be mine.

There ain't no other joker.

Dirty draws go be at the doorway when I get there.

You might want to look at the data on the highest places to live as far as expenses are concerned, as far as trying to earn and make a living. I don't San Francisco is expensive. It might be number one on the list of places to live.

Oh, Joe, I don't care. I live in three hundreds. I'll live in five hundred square feet in hell. I ain't sharing my place with no right here that time. Sometimes you have to. Sometimes you got to do that when you got the money. Oh, sometimes you have to when you got the money.

Check this out.

Check this out real had I wish you had the numbers on it what it called. How much is rent in San Francisco? Show me the numbers.

I guarantee you there are people that's making less than eight hundred and seventy thousand dollars that have a that have an apartment by themselves. I made sixty three thousand dollars my rookie year, sixty three thousand, sixty three.

Wait where were you playing at?

I was with Denver.

You was in Denver making sixty three thousand a year, like thirty some years ago twenty twenty three, living in the worst times of all. Then Okay, CRNT is crazy.

Mortgagees San Francisco forty four thousand on average might.

Be more than that.

I'm gonna say four thousand. I'm gonna say four thousand. No more than forty five hundred average costs.

No, no, not not no, no, absolutely not. Not in San Francisco. It's a different ball game. Please, somebody do your homework for me, real quick. We do it and give me the information. Two bedrooms ain't no two bedrooms he by himself. He just said he got a roommate. Yes, so he is standing in the same bed now.

The average rent in San Francisco is three thousand a month.

So you know that's a lie.

That no, the no, nothing, Hold on, Ojo, Let's just say we go get a Let's just say we gonna get a nice one bedroom for forty five hundred. You know what, O Joe, I'm gonna say, you know what, I'm gonna get a Washington dry in my apartment. So I'm gonna bump it up to five thousand. You mean to tell me a man that's making eight hundred and seventy thousand, ten a four to five thousand dollars a month apartment by himself.

Obviously not obviously not, because that's why he's doing it. That is real and matter of fact.

It's a good that's a good story in DC brought party. Oh he's there, he wrinkled apart. He's all about the game. To stop it ain't nothing wrong.

What did I say my first two years in NFL. Let's not forget or you forgot because I wanted to save money, because buying a place or renting a place was pointless and none necessary when all that many of these I needed was in the stadium.

Average rent for a one bedroom in San Francisco is three thousand. Is the third most expensive city in the US, behind Jersey City and New York City. So I just say the average price is three thousand board one bedroom. I bumped it up another two thousand, just because I wanted him to stay in the nicest place in San Francisco.

Whatever you just read is not up to day information on how much it costs the state in San Francisco. And there's no way in hell that New York is in front of San Francisco. And what was it? What was the first? What was who was first?

Jersey City?

Jersey City, Jersey City? What are we talking about?

I said, Okay, this was published April thirty of twenty twenty three, so maybe the price have gone up another ten thousand dollars since then, So you want to try another angle.

No, but I just understand. I understand where he's coming from because it's something I did as well. He is not into spending money. And in order to save money, even though you make it eight hundred and seventy thousand, how can I do it easy? Split the rent with somebody else? Boom and going about my mind?

If you try, let me ask your question. If he's trying to save money, why the hell he get a Toyota Sequoia that gets thirteen miles in the city and seven in the highway when gas is seven dollars a gallon?

Not here?

Explain that driving is Old Toyota Sequoia from college is not in New Toyota.

The fact of the matter is that it's thirteen dollars. You're getting hold on. Do you understand how much gas prices are here in LA? The gass price in LA is seven dollars a gallon.

Oh, so now you have an understanding the gas prices. But when it comes to the guy, when it comes to rent.

Oh, I will save on rent, but I'm a splurge on gas.

What's what's more important? A place that your head again from point A to point B. Well, how you gotta go to work?

You know what, you can sleep in that truck and go right on the work. If you want to save money, do that, sleep in the truck and go to work.

Listen. I commend rock party. I commend rock party. All of us don't want to just waste money, you know, and just just just.

I ain't say go get no palatial of state.

I ain't say go get a stephan I use your current place, a thirty million dollar pad.

Why you say get a penhouse that's caught fifteen.

He'll be able to you know, it's gonna happen when he gets that money, when he hits that two two hundred and fifty million dollars contract, he's still gonna be stuck in the same ways, and that money will probably last his grandkids and his grandkids grandkids and his grand grandkids after that. So I think it's a good thing. It's commendable to me every com Listen.

I'm not saying he gotta pay for a lot of young women college tuition. You know, I ain't. You know what I'm saying. You know what I'm saying. I ain't said he got to do that. But I'm saying, bro, you can get you a three thousand, make it eight seventy. You can get you a three three thousand, four thousand, I went five thousand.

You want to get and it's for a.

Year, right, But you have to understand that's that's your way of thinking, that's your way of thinking.

This brought to yourself, don't we don't?

Nah?

He doing right? You want to be cheap to yourself.

I know you're gonna see this.

Boy.

I love you, baby, I love you and everything you're doing. Man, Hey, me and you, we got to write a book together on financial literacy. I think we can get this done. Let me when you see my numbers still the same? Yeah, oh Joe, Yeah, I like that to go.

I just want to know who promised you tomorrow?

Huh?

Who promised you tomorrow?

Nobody problem from tomorrow. But I know one thing. When I was born, I had an expiration date.

Yeah, but God.

Said, you know, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell you right now. Let me finish now. When I was born, we all come with expiration date. But God told me he's not through with me yet. So I know I still got some time left because I ain't. I'm I finished because he not through with me yet. I'm not. I'm not evenna pre I'm not even gonna preache because it's not Sunday. But you know why I'm going with this? Yeah, yeah, stay with me.

He told you got time left. He told you that, yes, yesterday, it might be today.

Huh. Listen, he's not done with He's not done with me yet.

I worry what you heard exactly what I said.

He's not what, he's not through with.

Making of being frugal, Derrick Henry says he's going to hold off on jersey swaps because of the costs. Now players are required to play pay for the jerseys when doing swaps, and the costs have increased recently. Titan players have to pay up with a three hundred and fifty dollars per jersey. So you could understand how expensive that can get if you do it seventeen times.

M You see, you.

See, you see how everyone is being financially conscious. Now you see they worried about they worried about paying a three hundred and fifty dollars or a three hundred fifty dollars jersey. Sometimes you see what I'm saying.

If I hold on think about this.

I love my ball players for this, man, I would love y'all for this.

But no, I ain't got no problem with the ball players. The problem that I have with the NFL. Now, you're gonna give Taylor Swift free air airtime, four one hundred, five hundred thousand dollars for thirty second spot, and you say, NBC, CBS, FOX, EFBN, can y'all do that for free? But you're gonna charge the players who you building the backbone off of.

You're gonna charge them three fifty whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Wait, let's let's rewind. I understand where you're going with this. I understand where you're going. Obviously, we are the ones the backbone of the NFL. We are the meeting potatoes. We are the meat and potatoes of the NFL. But we have to understand something. At the end of the day, it's about the bottom line, and there's one bottom line. Let me finish the Taylor Swift versus the NFL players. Which one moves the needle of the most and can do so in a short

Matter?

There you go, Oho, you go, update you matter.

Hold on, remember the optics.

I just tell you about Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll optics to the other player. Yeah, so who's more important? Who's more important a quarterback or wide receiver or dB? Who's more important?

Put the quarterback? Obviously optics.

Optics matter. The players are looking hold.

On, hold on, Joe, So hold on, oh Joe, listen, just give me a second. Now, I'm talking about the fifteen hundred player. Which one of those fifty hundred players? Okay, I'm gonna pull the top ten players together. If I'm pulled the top ten players together, you say they got more money than Taylor Swift?

Absolutely not.

Okay, So the players are saying, hold on, you gonna head crack me for three point fifty, and you're gonna give somebody that's worth a half of bill. You gonna give her a discount. As a matter of fact, you ain't gonna give a discount.

You will let her have it for free. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just saying that optics. I'm just saying the player.

Hey, chess, not check us. Hold on bottom line at the end of the day.

Five hundred for no socks. How many times you got fined for no socks? How many times you got untouched Jersey?

Listen unto Jersey. Uh the stream of towel, gold cleats blue. Remember I used to wear the orange and the orange chin strap, the black chint strap. I didn't care. I didn't take take take the money. I don't care. And I never stopped.

Joe, Joe, either you a cyclop or octopus or something, because you speaking on both sides. And no, no, no second. Now they find you every time untouched Jersey. They find you when you were the chintz strap. They find you for this, and you said, take the money. Why are you doing that?

Yeah, because I'm playing. No, I am frugal. Listen to me, stay with me, I stay with me. Let me talk to you real quick. When I'm playing the game of football, I'm from Miami. I'm from Liberty City, this beautiful place called Day County. When we play the game of football, it's about having fun. It's about entertaining. It's about going out and looking good and doing it your way and showing up. So when it comes to that, the NFL is gonna do what they think they can do best

That's all.

And you're not going to control me. You're not gonna control me by taking money.

You don't get to say.

You know what, I don't want to spend money on an apartment, so I'm gonna live in the facility. But I'm gonna give the NFL seven ten thousand of my dollars every week. What that's one hundred and sixty dollars over sixteen games. You tell me that since that made so the money that you're saying, hold on the money that you saved by staying in the facility.

You gave it to the NFL times two.

X, and I got it back times five x in the off season, so I wasn't tripping.

Oh yo, oh Joe, you can't get back money.

You was gonna make that money up by doing the offseason program anyway you lost it?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no, I'm not talking about offseason program. I made it up in the offseason. I work you round. I didn't just I didn't play football. I worked year round.

So how so how you make that up? You gonna make You're gonna get those endorsements anyway. You lost one sixty, you.

Can't get up. But you can't get back what's lost.

No, you're not understanding all the stuff I had going on outside of the game, outside of football.

And you know that going on with an extra one sixty in your pocket. So make it make sense.

Listen, can't listen to stay with me, baby, you're not leaving. You're not listening to me. It made it made sense to me because I played the game so in the way right when I was a little shorty, when I was a legit. So when I got to the NFL, and you're paying me millions of dollars. When you get to the NFL, it's all about control, trying to conduct

The NFL don't want y'all coming out there looking like an all tournament team, because the first the next thing somebody was gonna do with all tournament team, one of your guy on Adidas, one of your guy on Puma, one of you got on Reboks, one of your guys you gotta gotta beat tower hanging on your back.

And so the NFL said.

No, we want some uniformity, We want a uniform cold And guess what you could have done.

You could have bought five hundred smoke to take the batteries.

Yeah I did. I did you notice you don't hear no chirping, no.

Moto about that. I'm glad.

Yeah, yeah, listen, but I stole I stole the barrier out to smoke detective in my hotel and brought at home.

You know they watched this now I ain't see that. No, they're watching this. You told him, I know, but it was.

All the way in Philly. They ain't gonna know you going back.

You stay at that same hotel when you go back to Philly.

I know, but they ain't gonna know because it's gonna be chirping. I know, but they just gonna change the battery. They ain't gonna know. I just incriminated myself home.

You sure did. Damn, you sure did.

That's why I never do nothing wrong.

My bad. That's a good thing. You don't do it.

If they roll, you should do so I got you. I mean, since you told us you took the hotel batter, you want to tell us the hotel? Huh, you want to tell us the hotel? Hell, you already tell us you took the battery. So whatever hotel he's staying in on Monday night, he got the battery.

At the Western. It's cool. I know that they didn't replace it by now. They probably charged. They probably charged. They probably charged the card though. Like incidentals, they go to incidentals.

Yeah yeah, okay, well we're gonna put that in there at Western Chad Oho Senko Johnson store.

Stole y'all battery.

You know that's I took. I don't mean to be telling you my business and my personal my personal stuff, but I got family, were family. But you know when I go to hotels, right, you know when I pack, I always travel real light, so I have extra in my suitcase. Always still two talents to wash flaw.

That's the shame. He I mean, that's what you did in college.

I mean no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, no no no listen.

I gotta marry your brand. Freend right now, my bed isn't homie.

And see that's see that we're here.

You can smoke, You can smoke, you can try to start a forest. Found that thing, that thing is gonna burn nothing. Oh no, what they made that thing out of? That thing is if fire retarding. Man. Look here I go into a I don't need no fire for I just wrapped myself.

Wasn't marry.

I'll fresh friend comfort and come right up out of there like hey, that's what I would do.

Listen, man, ain't nothing worse than this. And I know people are gonna laugh at they' gonna talk abou man what you're doing. You know how many people don't wipe theirselfs on the like man, Listen, when you buy new towels and you try to draw off and all the lint from the towels, Ye're stuck on you man, that.

Is why you wash them first.

I can.

I can tell you don't know nothing about it.

Listen, listen, whoao you know how many times you have to wash a brand new wash clothing towel before it's all rigged and rough and perfect?

How many how many wash cloth in town do you got? You should be able to watch? I mean you should have at least at the bare minimum three sets. Well at bare minimum.

Listen, I have way more than three sets, because you have to think how much I travel, so everywhere, every time I travel to a different hotel, I always steal two sets.

So now they white look like you've been changing or listen.

You know why is that is the most humbling experience you know that we family, I could talk to you all right. One of the things that had always been the most humbling to me is to get out the shower. Been in there twenty minutes bathing, making sure you hit all the important spots. You get off and drive with your towel and the bits still come out black sometimes.

Like why is that? I don't know that you got a mirale close by?

Now I ain't got no mirror close by, but I know you need to see and say that you drive with no white towel and I.

Don't not at home?

Now what you use at home?

Got blue? I got brown, I got green, I got black.

Hey, do me a favor. You get a white towel, just so it can humble your humble you real quick. No, I don't humbling man.

When I'm home, I won't be experience of home.

That's why I don't have anything that's like hotel related in my home.

Okay, okay, yeah, I like you going with that one. I like you going with that one.

I mean you, I mean, I don't know how it don't take you that long. You're taking a bird bath anyway?

Who you what what you mean?

Getting little the little bird bath they see in the front of the yard. The bird shap you up out of the matter of fact.

I got it.

I'm so glad that you speaking of the shower, right, I'm not even home. Right. Let me tell you another another thing I used to do, you know, throughout my tenure when when when I was single, like to save money at home, like fellas if you watch it, stay with me now, Always take a shower at your girl house. Always take a shower at your girl house, use her electricity, you know, just just do everything that to keep your bills down at home. And that's something that I used

For dollars?

You can get it back at you when you when you, when you, when you sign up, when you don't sign that reading up, when you sign up, readow you get it back.

He was born in Cameroon. He has dual citizenship with France and the USA, and obviously it was very tough. Does he play for his native homeland Cameroon, or does he play for the French team, the French national team, or does he play for Team USA? Some was born here, Saints wants to dedicate because his

In for all, we steal the King of the Mountain right right, the basketball right. So what do you think? What do you think about Joel andb playing for Team USA in twenty twenty four Olympics.

I think based on why he said he wants to play for it instead of his native homeland of Cameroon or the French team, I mean that that's that that that's on him, that's the decision that he's made. I'm not sure how long he's been here in the States, but I mean this happens a lot obviously with soccer, with with many choosing to play elsewhere as opposed to where they were born. And I think it's I think

They I heard Paris is really nice. I mean most of the guys were married. If they're not, you know, you find your little booth thing and go over there to Eiffel Tower. You can put the locks on the.
