The Cowboys opted to shut him down On Joe CD is dealt with a sprain EIGHTC joint and it showed us as November third lost to the Falcons, and he's aggravated almost every week, and more scans this week has showed that the injury had worsened. Oh, Joe, you know I didn't say you can't make it any worse. No, you ain't always tell you about the injury where they want you to keep on playing on Joe. Oh, you can't do any more damage to it?

Joe.

But they weren't, Joe, They're not.

They weren't on the level that I thought they were gonna be on considering what they were last year.

But they couldn't be. They couldn't be.

You know that chemistry it ain't like listen, that chemistry has to be built back up.

See the lamb missed all the training camp. Yeah, I agree, we're gonna get a deal done. We're gonna get a deal done.

You playing around, you playing games, man, if you're serious about actually winning, do right by your team, do right by your players.

Have everybody in the building when they need to be there. That why you think, why you think?

Why you think?

God damn Michael Parson said what he said earlier. He playing the seed right now. Don't play with me when it's time they can be my money because I want to be at mini camp.

I want to be in the off at the off season program. I want to be at training camp. I don't want to be holding out like every player has to do when it's time to get goddamn paid.

I think they just like the fact that they got us out here begging, waiting, and I got damn money. I think they do it on perpose because the numbers are what they are, the numbers of what they are. What are you waiting for to pay these individuals. Ain't nothing magically gonna happen. Ain't nothing magically gonna change about the market.

You know what it is, You know what he's supposed to be paid. Just get the shit done. Get it done. How you plays in there?

Oh, Joe, here's something that came out of nowhere. DeShawn Jackson is finalizing the deal to become the head coach of Delaware State.

Yeah you back, Pete Fammel.

He did an on campus interview in recent days, and the sides are expected to come together in the near future. Per source, It's always been a dream of Jackson to coach out an HBCU. That dream could could become a reality in the near future. We saw Mike Vick take that direction. Eddie George?

Is that Tennessee state we saw coach Prime? Was that Jackson state? Eddie Robb? Was that Grambling? Yeah? Norfolk just went to Norfolk? Eddie Rob Was that an Alabama state? A ground? Oh?

Eddie Rob Jr?

Yeah?

Oh you know what that played the Titans? He played the Titans and the Jags. Oh, okay, okay, yeah, he played in the NFL.

Also, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you think about Joe should I like it. I like it.

I'm about to hear it.

I'm gona here, d Jack too, Listen. I just want to intern. I want to intern. I don't I don't want to coach. I ain't never been to Delaware. I don't know where Delaware at. If I look at the map right now.

I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell you where Delaware was at.

But you know, we saw you at the Globe. We saw you in the globe. We tried to put out new countries.

Yeah, listen, listen, I know d Jack there, and I know if I asked D Jack. Listen, let me come into intern. I actually want to talk to the receivers.

Yeah, you know, D Jack, but you can't go. You can't go there because you don't know where Delaware is.

I know, but d Jack gonna get me. I got GPS,

All I want to do is I want to diversify my portfolio and have intern at Delaware State on my resume.

That's all I want to do. That's all I want to do.

Listen, I got fifty eleven goddamn jobs and to be able to have boom intern at Delaware state as a consultant and assistant to the head football coach.

That would be DJA.

That looked good on my resume because you never know what the opportunity to go to be presented.

To me in the future.

I thought you didn't want to coach, though.

I'm not coaching. That's why I said intern.

So what oh no, but you said presented for you in the future. What opportunity is going to be presenting you intern?

To listen, The opportunities I'm speaking of and speaking about isn't gonna have anything to do with coaching. It just having it on my resume. Based on what it is I want to do. I might want to ender the corporate world. I might be the CEO of goddamn Amazon at Google, a c COO.

Mhm, a CMO. Because I listened, I talked to Jeff Bezos.

And we what about or oh what's that there?

You get?

They'll let you use your head as well as your hands. They put a hat on your head in a broom in your hand.

Sweet Wait, listen, I ain't got no problem doing janitor janitor's janitorial services. You ain't got a problem, hey, because my fee is high, my fear is have you willing to pay my goddamn fee.

I'll sweep any motherfucking that ham.

Yeah. I already know you clean some nast areas before.

Hey that that that's one thing about it. If you don't white too good, I finished with my tongue.

Uh oh, Joe, Eric b enemy. We just spoke about him the other day. Every be inge me.

Would he going back to Kansas City?

Young joined the Washington Huskies coaching staff as an offensive analyst.

Okay, it's very being and me being shut out of the NFL.

No, I wouldn't say being shut out. I wouldn't say being shut up. But you just you just got fired. You just got fired.

The NFL season is headed into the playoffs. I don't think any NFL teams want to bring on air being to me right now. If there's a team that's going to bring them on, it would be the candidacy chief next year, Andy Reid and Eric Being to me. I'm sure like this, I'm sure I Patrick mahomes as the case. Why not just wait till the season over?

I know, but maybe maybe you want I don't know, you can't ask me.

Maybe he wants to to not not be sitting around on the on the sideline, or be sitting around at home and he just wants to work, he wants to do something. But I'm sure for the opportunities that are present itself, it would be with the Chiefs, probably not anywhere else. Just being honest, because you know how, you know how that coaching thing is the coaching thing in general, the friends always continue to make sure each other have jobs.

Always, I agree, always.

So if Eric being to me is going to get a job, to getting in the NFL, it will probably be with the Chiefs at some point if there's there's always room because they can change the they can change the name or what they identify you as they always feel you in in something in some type of spot.

Well, I'm glad I don't want to be a coach

I get something.

I get me an analyst, I get something, tidy coach, assistant to the head coach.

I get me a job. Yeah, mm hmm.

I'm good. I ain't try to put in the kind of hours. No, no, because I know the kind of hours I put in as a player studying.

Oh, the coaches is worse now, the coaches coaches worst.

You gotta tell me.

I think about I think about some of the teams. Let's think about the team this year, the teams that haven't losing season. You know the kind of hours coaches put in.

I've seen it.

I've seen mar but I've seen you. I've seen Barbara Cowsey sitting there all time tonight. I'm like, y'all ain't going home.

Yep.

They got pillows and they got blinkers in it in the office.

They they ain't going home.

Nope.

Oh my goodness. And then I think about this.

I think about all the teams that haven't losing seasons, like the Raiders or like the Giants, and I'm thinking about the coach staff. I'm thinking about the hours that they putting in. You're not seeing your family, not seeing your kids, you're not seeing your wife. And not only are you putting all those hours as a coach, then the goddamn record and the work you're putting in the hours you're putting in getting the goddamn results.

Oh hell nah, coach?

Who man, I'd rather play, Maddie.

You got to tell me, does it? I want no part of it. That's why I say what I was done with football. You exhaust all of that. I want mob parts of football. I talk about it. But as far as like put those kind of hours in to go into wee hours at all time of the night, Oh hell.

Nah, absolutely not.

Nah, I'm good. I appreciate that, and I don't mean.

I don't mean to be rude. And it's not about the money. But coaching don't pay enoughing. I'm just telling you, not not compared, not compared. I ain't no disrespect. It don't pay enough the hours you put in and the chances of you not getting the results for all the hours and work you put in.

It ain't worth the pay.

Unless you one of the big boys, unless you're the Mike Thomas you know, or unless you' the Andy Reid's you know. Those that have been in are in great situations where you're gonna consistently win over and over. You know, NFL owners they got a three year grease. You only get a three year grace. Yeah, up and move and you don't win in those three years.

Now you've got to go. Now we're supposed to do with your family.

Like being in the military, ojo or being a being a Pentecosta minister.

You know you go, o Joe.

You know you going to move. You know it ain't no situation because look at coach Saban. As great as he was. Coach Sable was at Toledo, he was at LSU, he was at Miami Miami Dolphins, he's at Alabama.

As great as he was, he moved over. Let me take that back. He was the DC at Cleveland with Belichick.

Belichick was there was saving too, right now.

Yeah, coach coach Belichick with the head coach, uh coach saving was the DCA. But what about what about these what about these coaches? Though cho Then that's been you know five.

Mm hmmm. And then ain't no guarantee because they about you.

The offer the court, they might find you because offense they're looking good, they might fire the defend the court that because he's not looking good. The DV coach, the linebacker coach the d like, ah, hell.

Now see what happened?

Now?

You you make me uproot my family all fifty eleven goddamn thousand of my goddamn kids.

Yeah, I'm let's say I'm I'm in wherever coaching. I'm off as the cordinator on my head.

Coach, and things ain't going well, you know, because I ain't got no goddamn quarterback, So I don't know what you want me to do. I don't have no quarterback. And without a quarterback, you're not gonna within no goddamn games. And you talk about the owner to about you finna fire me for the fire who you think I'm gonna go? Tell my wife you find me. And we got up and move back to Miami. Man, run me, run me, run me my failu yo, run me my faith right here, right here on the spot.

And the thing gives o Joe.

We gotta squabble.

You know why I know why I couldn't coach Ojo because I really can't go out there and physically do nothing. All I can do is instill the training and the knowledge I can and the players and the side of my hands. Yeah, and I felt that you got I felt that when you played Ojoe, you felt you can have some impact on the offense, that you can help I felt I can have the impact on the offense and we could.

Win the game. I can't do ish. I don't like giving up that kind of control. Yeah.

And the funny thing about you know exactly what to do.

You can coach, you have the knowledge of it, so you're teaching, critiquing, trying to be technical from a standpoint so they don't get it wrong. So you can go out there and perform at your best. So I can get the most out of you based on what I know. I'm giving it to you.

This is what it should look like. You're going through film.

You break it down, tapes, You got your game planning, and they get out there and don't execute it, and they got you looking bad. Because players get coaches fired. Yeah, for sure, players get coaches fired.

Get himself cut, get the coach fired.

Yep, and you I don't want no part of that, oh, Joe Xavier Leggett Buck brought Raccoon to the locker room for everyone to try. I listen, and I said, I've never seen it like that, the way my grandmother and everybody that I know that that I've ever seen prepare Raccoon.

Normally, they cut him up. They get a nice medium sized raccoon.

You don't want him too big cause you know, look, you're gonna put him in vinegar anyway and soak him over night. But anyway, so you're gonna chop him up. You're gonna get you a pan with loominum full. Y'all call it ten four. We call it loomin them full. And you cut him up. Oh Joe, you get your bell pepper, you get your onion, you get your some celery.

You put him down in there.

Hey, okay, you put that tenfold over the top of him, and you let him stand up of him for an hour or so, but probably about an hour, about ninety minutes.

Let in bake. Now you want to put some barbecue sauce on it.

Put that barbecue sauce on it, slapping the ass back of the other for about another fifteen minutes. Now you got some I've never seen it like that with rice, I've never seen it. I'm not saying you can't prepare it like that, but growing up and I've seen a lot of people prepare it, I've never seen it prepared like that. Now, that's maybe that's a South Carolina thing. Maybe that's specific to that region. You know, but I've never seen it like that. Now with squirrel, I've seen

Prepared, my aunt's prepared, my sister prepared. I've never seen it prepared like that. Now.

I'm not saying I wouldn't eat it. I'll try it, just see what it tastes like. But I know the way that I've eaten it growing up. Yeah, I like that way better. I can already tell you. But that doesn't mean it's all it awful. It almost looked like budhan who like.

Booty?

No Oh okay, I'm I was okay, okay, you got it. You gotta pronounce it.

You can bet oh u d i m bou dhan.

Okay, I thought you were talking about something now Okay, okay.

Hellad so, but hey, hey, like I said, it's for a while, but I tried.

I mean, I done tried.

You know, look, God, you have to understand when you grow up, and I think it's situation is kind of similar to mine. He probably didn't have a whole lot. Guys, you're not getting no ribs, You're not getting the I was just talking to my sister the other night. Oh kay, we got fried chicken on some on Sunday. That's the only time I've ever eaten fried chicken. I've never had fried chicken on a Monday or too now. If it

That's what they called it.

When they take the hide off on your head him, bust down, but they make you leave a foot on it so you could tell that's not a puppy, that's a raccoon.

So he would already he would already be dressed.

By the time you get him. That's what they call it. When they're gutting him, take the head off, take the frog, they call it.

And they have it. Hey boy, y'all were yeah, we'll take it.

They called it a bust down, like a bust down, like yeah, yeah, yeah.

When they when they've already got the hide off him, they take the hide off him, because that's only that's really the only valuable part.

That the hunt.

The trappers won't because they trap them. You trap them or you get dogs to go hunt them and tree them. So you had a black and tan, you had red bones, you have blue tinks, you have bloodhouse, you had a tree and walker. You had dogs that go hunt, and so you turn the dogs loose and you after while you hear them.

They got some tree.

Now you go a you get your rifle because you couldn't shoot them with a shotgun because you messed the hide up. So what you want is a twenty two rifle small caliber. Hit him in his head, boom. You don't pu punk in the fir the.

Hide, so that's it's now a squirrel.

Ain't no value, ain't no value in the squirrel hide, So you ain't raccoon, I mean a squirrel. You use shotgun or fourteen, twelve games, ten, whatever the case may be.

You get that.

You know you hurt quail, you know, you use bird shot something that sprayed, because because once you hit the fuck them they go at you, but they're gone, so you gotta you gotta, you know, turn it fire, so you won't shot that's spread right now. If you hunting deer, you use a shotgun, but you're gonna use you know, you might use a slug or you might use buck shot, but.

You don't care.

Hold on, you got to be close enough. How are you gonna use a shotgun on the deer? You gotta you're not close. You got to get for that to hit.

But a lot of times people hunt from a stand, so you for the tree stad yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Or you use a thirty thirty thirty out six. You know you use rifles, damn man, if you do, uh, you.

Know how to do the process of skinning, the process that takes.

My brother can't know.

I was young, my brother, my brother watching my uncles do it right, and so he would go hunting and he do it. He killed a cool he coming case him out of himself. Yeah, he could do it. Oh yeah, my brother, my brother, My brother killed a deer, an eight point buck with a sick with a with a single shot rifle.

He came home. He came home running. He was huffing at puffin. My uncle didn't believe him. He said, oh, he said, James, I killed the dinner. He said, man, he said, what you kill it with?

He had? He had a single shot rifle.

Yeah. Mom would say, bro, you ain't killed no deer. He said, come on, let me show you went back. Then may we call him dragging that deer out of there? And they're probably weigh you know, one hundred, one hundred and fifty pounds.

A thing too.

Now, old cowboy Carter, Well, you ain't got to tell me, You ain't got to tell me. You got to remember. Now, I used to be a backup dancing. But Beyonce about ten years ago, so I already know what she could do. So I understood what the performance was gonna look like. Twenty seven million. That ain't nothing from Beyonce.

You hear me.

We talk about the greatest performer, We talk about the greatest live performer since Michael Jackson, and anybody.

Want to argue left, we can argue about that.

Now.

There are other great performers and entertainers out there, but we talk about the greatest of all time outside of Michael Jackson.

The thing that I love about Beyonce, Oh Joe, is I know what I'm gonna get.

I'm gonna get Consistency's gonna give me two hours, and it's gonna be non stop, and it's gonna be A's gonna she gonna do what she do every time every That's all. That's all I can ask for.

You're getting it's all about an experience. It's an experience. It's an experience that you're gonna be able to talk to years from that, you be able to tell your grandkids about. Yeah, when Michael Vick played in Atlanta, it wasn't about no football game man.

Experience. When you go watch Beyonce, it's an experience.

You won't understand it watching videos on Twitter, you won't understand it watching videos.

You got to see any person.

To understand what it's all about. And until you do that, you'll never get it.

Yeah, I wish, I wish, of all things I could

We know, Michael.

Look, and this is not a disrespect on anybody, But until somebody can come out on stage and don't move a muscle for thirteen to fifteen minutes and people start fainting, don't talk to me.

Yeah, yeah, don't talk. Hey, you know I had I had a few faint over me. In kindergarten.

Now, yeah, don't put it, but beyonest, look, I know what I'm gonna get. And that's what you that's what you hope for with anything, you hope for consistency. And she did that thing last night, Cowboy Carter. I didn't know a whole lot of it. So, I mean, I know, like a few of her songs.

Yeah, I listen, I know the routine. Yeah, I know man stopped playing.

When they brought out what you call it, when she brought out her daughter. I like to see that.

Yeah, I know, I know the whole routine. Shoot you talking about man? Cowboy? Oh show shit.

It's being reported that Beyonce was paid twenty million dollars to perform the Netflix halftime show.

Worthy of it, worthy of every penny and the change.

And you want to show. I mean, look at all I mean, look at all the people, all the dances. I don't know if that was that Texas southern band that she had most of the time it is. I think it is Texas. I think it, yes, like local local band. Hey they did they think they all of the cow Hey?

Hey? She did she did what she.

Did, She did what she did, did what she supposed to do. Did what I expect. When I see Beyonce, Uh, she was, she was insational.

That's what I mean.

Sometimes I go back out, like, man, I wish I could have saw, like I said, had an opportunity to see Prince. But I thought the tickets that were like one hundred and twenty one hundred and fifty dollars, they were being scouted for three thousand, and I was like, man, that's too much. And that was like a Friday that he performed, and then the following week he was dead right, And so I know, you never go You're never going

He wasn't.

I mean, I had uncles them and that honestly saw the Jackson five when they came to the Civic Center. That was in the seventies. But you know, but I've seen Bruno.

Hey, that god damn nap, that damn knapper wonders by got.

You can't go on and say it unkin O Joe, I'm tired.

The Bears only need to fire everyone from the gym to the entire coaching staff if they if they were if they were up there burning fries and the concession stands, they will fire them to I'm tired.

Hashtag bear down. I know how you feel.

Yeah, well, Joe, you don't look at the end of the day. Look, you're gonna be wholesale changes. They're bringing in the new staff, and you know what happens when you bringing it. When you bring you know, the head coach gone, everybody's gonna be gone. So they're bringing a tired new staff. You probably should have did that last year once you got rid of Once you got rid of Justin Fields, and you had it, so you should have had somebody else coach Caleb Williams, because you saw a lot of the.

What happened with Justin Fields. You saw that happened to Caleb Williams.

And so I just think at this point in time, yeah, obviously you're gonna make a lot of changes. And anytime you know, coaching staff come in, see you want to get his players. So you're gonna have some turnover there. But King, I don't I don't think you don't have that problem. I think they're gonna be a lot of I don't know if the GM is gonna be gone, but the head obviously the head coach.

You're already on the.

Infrum head coach, and he hasn't done anything to warrant keeping that job. But there's gonna be a lot of changes going on.

X ex coach sanity.

The Bears haven't been the same since they fired love Smith after twenty twelve season fresh Hot. You're right, they fired What would the Bears give right now to be ten and six? They fired that man after a ten and sixth season.

You know you know how they man? Let me stop.

Sometimes a man can make his destiny on the very road he took to avoid it. You did everything you possibly could after the man went ten and six to try to improve, and guess what you did.

You met your destiny.

Mm.

Sometimes ojo, a man can make his destiny on the very road he took to aboid it. That's that day.

Please that was a bad game. Yeah, that was sixty three.

First of all, you know, at first, at this point in time, with the season in Chicago, you kind of weather it's gonna be bad.

You know that.

But listen, Seattle shouldn't have no problem with that, because what you think Seattle get half the time?

Oh rain, rain?

Yep, we did. We had a great Christmas. Elijah, hope you had a great Christmas sauce, So Bro hope you love the Bears. Bears did everything to lose this game. For the draft, Capitol is still nearly one. If I'm Seattle, I'm worried about heading into the playoffs. No I'm not, because guess what I'm trying to win. I'm heading to the playoffs Bears going home. The Bears are bad. I mean, it ain't no way around it. They're bad. They're not a well coached football team. I think they got great

Thank you for all you do. Keep smelling o Jo fly Eagle fly.

Uh. Catching a touchdown in Kansas City my first game, I got an opportunity to play, really got an opportunity to play. Started split me out wide, caught a touchdown on on on k Rock here going to the Pro Bowl. I belong, I belong. I knew I belong. I knew I can make a I can make a damn good

So yeah, that was that was what it was.

Actually it once I got in the game, because I had been, you know, was making plays. But once I got in the game, ohoe and caught a touchdown on a proven player, Yeah, man, you couldn't hit me? And asked with a red apple, I beloaned. I be loaned.

I think my belonging moment once I once I kind of kind of figured I was obviously my first touchdown. Never forget against the Charges. Rodney Harrison and the d played for the Miami Hurricanes. Ryan McNeill, my first touchdown was on Ryan McNeill. And once I got once I caught that touchdown on him, once my confidence got there and said, hey, I just settled in a little bit.
