Okay, the Fathers had had a bowl offseason moves in the NFL, signing Kirk Cousins to a four year, one hundred and eighty million dollar deal, also drafted Michael Pennick Junior with the number eight pick, and that twenty twenty four NFL draft, team owner Arthur Blank made the case for why Fathers, whom he labeled independent thinkers with wise the Alice Kate a substantial resource to a pair of quarterback. Just listening to our coaching staff and our personal department,

You like that, Joe, Yeah, most definitely, most definitely. Listen, Kirk Cousins is great. He's great in the postseason. I think if I'm noticing Kirk Cousins has I'm sorry. In the regular seas, if I'm not missaked. Kirk Cousins has what one one playoff victory? Yes, and I'm not sure and I'm not sure and how many years?

But he is stellar. He is stellar in the postseason.

Drake London, Kyle Pitts, b John Robinson or going through pay tremendous dividends with having him at the Helm.

He's great. But again we understand how difficult it is for a team. They're thirty two teams.

They're thirty two teams, and there are many of these teams that are trying to find a quarterback that can that they can build around, that can be consistent year in the year out.

You don't have to worry about the position.

You got Lamar Jackson, you got the Joe Burrow and the Josh Allens, the Jalen Hurts obviously Dak with the Cowboys. Many teams don't have that security blanket the Falcons do. They found one, and Kirk Cousins when they when they traded for him or when they were able to get him, then they also found one in a draft that you couldn't pass up Kirk coming off of the Killney's injury.

Being they have security on both sides. We know what we can do. We know what he can do. He has an extensive resume in the regular season.

But there's a talent that's going to be available to eight and Michael Penning Jr.

You don't pass that up. You don't pass it up. You know, Michael Penning Jr. Is your quarterback of the future.

And hell, even this year, I think if Kirk Cousins doesn't play to the standards in which they like and see fit.

Joe huh, they're gonna get off him after one year.

Well, you know how it is. But you're not playing well, you're not playing well. And the same thing goes my boy, the same thing goes for my guy. We think it's gonna be a quarterback battle over in Pittsburgh. Absolutely not, absolutely not. I love with Justin Field is done. Russell Wilson is going to be the quarterback of that franchise over there in Pittsburgh.

And if things aren't going well, Justin Field's will see the field. That's it. And I think the same thing will happen for Kirk Cousins as well.

If you're sticking up the place and putting the team, the team in jeopardy, and as far as winning concerned, they're going to turn that over to Michael Pitton Jr. There's only so much, there's only so much losing that they're going to take.

The difference is Pittsburgh ain't invested no money in Russ. They investor was three four five million dollars.

Yeah, but I'm from a business, from a business stand.

No, right, because the Broncos is putting that. Broncos had already guaranteed that MUCHY. So we already get like thirty five thirty eight million from the Bronco. So he only getting like Pittsburgh gonna play like three million.

Dollars mm hmm. Yeah.

But listen, it's Russy's job. I see the media, you know, scrumming up. Oh, Justin Fields has had been having camp. He's ahead, you know, he's getting a good reps in.

But listen, I'm I'm going Mike Tomlin.

You understand Arthur Smith Russell Wilson as a resume, his season wasn't even that bad last year in Denver. I think people that are failing to realize that this season wasn't that bad last year in Denver. You have a quarterback that has an extensive resumate that has experience on what it takes to win. You have a super Bowl champion quarterback, you have a super Bowl champion head coach.

But it's not that hard.

It's not.

But the one thing when you what do you notice about Cooper Cup What are you noticed about Pooka Nicoua?

It's all I effort every single play.

Yeah, always, Oh, I know where you're going. I see where you're going.

That's it's talent is there?

He might be more talent, It might be physic more physically gifted.

Yeah, yeah, I can't. I can't teach you effort, o Joe, you got to have that in you. I can't have to remind Son. I need you, I need you to try hard, so I need you. I can't do that, Ojoe.

Yeah, on the on the run plays on.

The Ojo because if I were running back, you ain't blocking for me. Why I need to pick this lifts up so you can get.

A pass on play.

Yeah right, you're gonna ask.

Me to stick that linebacker coming right up there, and you know he comes with and linebackers ain't trying to dodge nothing.

They try to right through you. Yeah.

Yeah, but you know, I think I think I think he learned his lesson. He learned his lesson last year. He's gonna be alright.

But but I agree, boy, that's a lot of money to get off of Ojoe. If what if Cousins doesn't doesn't pan out.

But this is the this is the funny thing. It's Kirk Cousins. He always pans out in the regular season. Man, Drake London is gonna feast. Kyle Pitts is going to feast. He is a yardage monster in the regular season. He just hasn't been able to get his teams over the hump in the postseason.

That's it.

No, No, I cain't saying he ain't got no dog in it. I'm saying that, no, he needs to put at that effort, not just when he's getting the ball right, because oh, Joe, if if I know it's a look, if I know, oh it's a run, I can tell the way you're coming off the ball. You do know, they they watch defenders, they watch I can look and see how much pressure I can see. I can look and see if a guy, if a d lineman got light. Oh, y'all about to run a game?

Huh?

Because why would your hand not be having that kind of pressure in the dirt. Because if you got pressure in the dirt, that means you're going forward. See when you're light?

Oh till you got to get up out of there, because they're about to do a game. They're about to do.

A te or et. Oh you don't think, hey, if it to run a game. Yeah, yes, I'm looking at all the keys. I'm trying to get as big advantage as I can to try to make my job easier.

How you lining up? Man?

Stop all that you ain't coming look with a safety of if you're doing all that dancing, if you if he wave back there and you come, if I just turn around, who gonna cover me?

Nobody?

So stop all that dancing, get back where you're supposed to be. You know you're finish dropping the hook. Shut up right right right? You ain't fulling nobody all that dancy.

Yeah, oh yother, damn well, they're not coming now, I see that fafty inch and down are you coming? Because he fin picked me up?

Mm hmm.

You know, you know it's funny now that you mentioned that and trying to pick up the keys before the snap of the ball.

Uh huh.

We used to play the Steelers, you know.

The Steelers had all these exotic coverages, all these exotic blitzes under goddamn dick Lebou And the funniest thing that they used to do is when they used to bring

Position to make a play was unbelievable to see.

Oh Jo the thing if you go back and study the Ravens, the Ravens weren't that complex.

They played cover two, but you couldn't run.

The reason why the Ravens was so difficult is because you couldn't run them out of it. They never had to drop the safety down to come up out of that coverage way you're running. The Ravens played sixteen games. They didn't give up one thousand total rush yards the entire season.

Fire season, I think in ladies and Gentlemen that's crazy.

In sixteen games, they didn't give up a thousand total rush yards.

On the entire season.

In sixteen games, they gave up one hundred and sixty five points.

It's crazy.

And in one game, if I'm not mistaken, they gave up thirty five in one game.

I think we'll probably will never see a defense like that again.

No, never, Cleveland. We played Cleveland in two thousand.

They got eighty six yards on their first drive, and I think they had thirty yards the rest of the game.

As soon as things set it in there was a rap.

They got to open it, they got to open the kick on Ojo and they went right down and scored right and for the rest of the game, I think they might have had thirty yards. You want to know something, if go back and look at the play by play and look at the Giants and the Super Bowl, and look at what they did. Punt punt, turnover, punt turnover, turnover, punt turnover, punt, punt, kick return, punt, punt pick, go look at go look at this, Oh Joe. I mean,

They gonna hit you in your back.

So you know you gotta run the little cross the route and j and Jamie and Ray we're just sitting there just picking people off.

Mm hmm heavy.

But him is the pig one went back for a touchdown because didn't know the ball got to come out quick.

You throw nothing over my head. You got no time. Everybody. Yeah, who had.

Christ McCall, christ Mcallison Christmas and.

Robert Bailey was Robert Bailey was a slot No, Robert Robert was well he was when they went for but uh Corey Harris with the Nicol slot and then Robert Bailey, you know Robert Bailey would uh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, God damn rob Oh that's classic man out.

DJ Moore enjoyed a career first season with the Bears, not more as the richest Bears player in their franchise history after signing a monster four year contract worth one hundred and ten million dollars. The extension will keep him tied to the number one rookie overall pick Caleb Williams for the foresee of the future. More revealed during BEARUS press conference today, he really did dread getting traded to Chicago at first.

Hmm.

It's cold, brou as cold as you think about, Oh Joe, it's cold in Chicago, Gold and Green Bay.

Yeah, at least at least.

Now you inside in Minnesota. People don't realize Minnesota should be outside too.

Mm hm back in the day, ye, yes, so can you imagine.

Man, Please let me play Green Bay in September. Please let me play September. You did not want to be going to Minnesota in Green Bay? And no December and January, no, sir, or Chicago. Yeah.

I like DJ Moore.

He's been he's been quietly consistent. He doesn't make much noise, he doesn't talk a lot, he's not flashy. He just goes out there and he gets the job done. He had a good year with Justin Fields last year. Yeah, he had he had a good year with Justin Fields last year. So this contract is warranted. The market is what it is. It's a friendly I call it a team friendly contract. He wasn't trying to break the bank and be the highest paid receiver. But it is a

They're gonna be fine. I mean, he deserves it. He deserves it.

Oh, you're checking us out.

The NFL new kickoff rules on side kicks are illegal.

Until the quarter. Yeah.

The team must be losing to on side kick. Team must a nout. It's intention the on side kick to the official ahead of time. The NFL is also moving closer to replacing chain game with new technology to measure the line the game or they're gonna use Hawky right like in tennis.

Yeah, yeah, the league will set the test Sony's aalky equipment technology.

During the preseason game you you oh yo. I kept trying to tell people. They do it everything they possibly can to get the kick off out of the game.

Yeah, because they're looking at thirty of the injuries, the concussions.

Happening on theoff running to each other, running.

To each other. I had a high rise speed yep, speed.

Yeah, I mean I like it. I like it.

If anything of NFL obviously being worried about safety trying to implement an eighteen game season, I think this is in the right steps of doing just that and eliminating the kickoff. But again, the dimensions of the field are

Little thing like we do now.

So, I mean, I see the direction in which the NFL is going and trying to protect the players and also protect themselves for any issues ten years down the line.

But I mean I like it. I'm not sure about the kickoff.

I think it takes away from the excitement and seeing, all right, does this player have a chance to take this one back?

Well? Talking to the commission.

He seems to think there'll be more returns for thee Yeah, he said, because once you hit a crease.

You go.

I mean, as long as those players stay, once you stay in your lane and you lock in and boom, yeah shp, you be able to share left or right. It's really nowhere to go because it's not as much room. It's not as much room to set things up as a returner.

All they gotta do.

Why you think a lot of them are using or using positional players to kick off because they're gonna have to be making a lot more tackles that Justin Reid is gonna be perfect because he's a tackler.

Okay, I see what you mean.

I ain't trusted. I ain't trusted my kicker too many times to make a game say, hey, he might make one, maybe two. I ain't much pans that on Joe.

I ain't trusted making no games saving tackles, no touchdown saving tackle. But uh but yeah, I get it. I understand o Joe. But here here's the problem that the NFL is running in to. How do you make an inherently dangerous game safe. It's like bull It's like bull riding, Ojo. At the end of the day, you're still asking one hundred and fifty pound, one hundred and sixty pound man to get on a fifteen hundred pounds bull.

Yeah, you can get them a harness, you can shave it, horns.

Down, you get my helmet, all that.

Get the chance, there's still that one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty pounds man on fifteen hundred pounds a muss.

Yeah, Yeah, there's always a chance. No matter what you do. There's only so much you can do as far as making the game safe.

But hey, kudos for them for the NFL try to make it safe.

It seems to me o Jo been headed to an eighteen game schedule and it's gonna be sooner or later. Remember what I told you, Ojo. The only thing you can sell them is extra game. What else you gonna do? What else could I say, Yojo?

It's only one way to make money. It's only one way to make.

And it seems like the players are in agreement with it.

Yeah, is that they get a piece of the pie. As long as they getting a piece of the pie.

A woman is going viral for saying that a bat men should cover post date expenses, pre.

Am post date.

Let's see what you gotta say.

Okay, So I just got into my car after going on a date, right, and let me tell you to tell you something. I don't know what the deal is with like men now, but I had told him prior that I will be having pre and post date expenses and is that okay?

And are you going to cover them?

And I don't know if he wasn't listening or like what the deal was or whatever, but he when I handed him the way envelope, he looks shocked and then he opened it and it's receipts. Hello, pre post date expenses. Hello, Like what kind of females do you be dating? You know what I'm saying. So anyway, so I handed it to him and he literally looked shocked at me and said, I can't cover this. It was four hundred and seventy eight dollars for pre and post date expenses.

You asked me on a date.

And mind you, we really didn't even have that good a conversation because he was on his fund the whole time. And I have a very strict no film policy on dates.

Hello, you're here to pay attention to me. Look at all the effort that.

I had to do. Ooh, then.

This gotta be I mean, I listen, there are women that can get away with this.

There are women. She's not one of them. You know, that's no disrespecting, that's no slight to her. There are women that can get away with this. There are men. There are men out here that caters to those that can get away with this. Matter of fact, they don't have to say anything about pre apostate expense because they don't get it anyway.

Ojo, Okay, I only know where to begin. But listen, listen, let's try to unpack this, O Joe. Yeah, we're going on the date. I'm gonna take care of everything if you want, if you if you want to take an Uber, I'll get your uber black car. I'm gonna pay for the date. I'm gonna get your black car to take you home.

That means the last guy didn't pay for it, and you got to pay that on down to me.

Oh no, oh no, and listen. It depends on who you chat chat. It depends on where you are in life. Are you having fun? Are you trying to look for something serious?

Now?

Yes, you listen, you already know what the time. You already know what time it is from the jump, I'm gonna have my fun.

Your posted experience, your your post your pre day experience, whatever it may be. You're gonna pay that because you want to You're gonna pay that because you want to reach you in goal playing, you have to do so.

I guess you B that's opposed plan B. I mean could that be Joe? I mean what else could it be? Joe? How do you.

Expect the man to cover something that he's not there for? So you go out after the date with your girls, or you go out with somebody and you want me to oh, you're going to see somebody else. Yeah, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get you an uber to go to wherever you're going. If you want to go home, well, Shelley, let me take that back.

And now she's gonna keep She's gonna keep, she gonna keep, man, she's gonna keep playing the game until you find when.

The dude that's paying for that because he you you too about low self esteeve. This mofolk got no self esteeve.

If he if he paid her, Yeah, yeah, they got hold on.

Hold on.

Now, Now, women with entitlement like that that are talking like that, she's singing and asking for those things because there's been someone in the past that is willing to do it. That will always be a man that's willing to do it. Is the Is she going to find one that's willing to do it consistently? Absolutely not, But you do have something that will pay it until they reseir end goal, and after they reach their end goals and had their fun, then they're on.

They're gone.

That's it, and then the cycle starts back over finding someone that's willing to pay it because someone someone else already said the president.

Oh, that's always gonna be a man willing to do it. It's just about.

Yeah. But I'm just looking at it.

Oh Joe. No, But the thing is, look, once I give you something, right, it's yours. No, No, I curse, I give you eggs, I give you why, it's yours. I ain't say to haggle about that.

I'm not in no situation if I was, if I was normal, Joe smoke right, yes, But in the situation I'm in. The first thing that they're gonna do, they're gonna try to go public. They're gonna try to embarrass me.

Okay, okay, I see where you're at. Oh, oh, I embarrassed about what?

Oh?

He asked for his stuff back.

You god damn right, right, O Joe. But see that they add little stuff to it, they make you unnecessarily.

Just leave it alone, Just leave it alone.

Okay, My bad, My bad. I see, I see where you're going.

I see I got you, man, you got I.

Mean, hypothetically speaking, hypothetically speaking, Hey, well, well you better than me. Bbl thirteen thousand, nonna be bl.

I'm just saying I ain't paying for none of either.

I'm just saying, if it just so happened, if it occurred, honey, listen, things that.

Nobody's gonna be riding that way but me. You you best believe I'm all in.

Right, right, right, right, You're right, but listen to me. But hey, honey, listen, before before you leave. I know you got other people that are interested. I know you got another line. You have a roster that is waiting for you to be free. But before you leave, I need you to run me that ass and rub them tis back, and I'm gonna putna put them in the freezer until I meet somebody else you put. Yeah, I'm gonnause I'm gonna use that again.

You THEO.

The only thing like for me is that anybody that I've ever been with, I don't negative about them.

I just keep going me neither me, neither. I don't do that.

I don't do that.

I don't do that because everybody, everybody from the past has made me the man I am today.

Yes, yeah, and even But see, here's the thing for me, and this is why I've always been this way. I believe if you date in it, you can break up in private. If you date publicly, you have to break up publicly.

See.

There are situations that I've been involved with, and everybody say, well, this is why it happened. Unbeknownst to them, we had already broken up a year. Mm, we had already broken up a year. Ain't nobody know nothing? And then when she popped out with it with another dude. Oh man, she was cheating.

No, she wasn't. We were already broken up right right right. But see y'all didn't know that because I kept that private. See that's how you have to have it. And see now, because the thing is ojo. If they can't find something on you, they'll just make up stuff, make up something.

Yeah.

Go listen to the song Billy Jean with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson said, be careful, he said, because the lies will become the truth.

M M.

You see what happens, Ojo. People are telling loud enough, they'll start to believe it. And because they repeated that life so much, people are starting to tell that lie for them.

MM.

I like it. I like it. I like it. That's people people getting like like I was like, bro hey, I ain't got nothing. I don't, I don't. I do what I do, I keep it moving. Yeah, hey, hey, I thought it was gonna I thought it was gonna last longer than what it did.

It didn't. It happens. But that don't make me no bad guy. You know you ain't this. You ain't there, like hey, hey, come on now, really, I mean there. I don't know what it is, but it always makes it seem like I'm I'm the guy. Ain't nobody ever broke up with them. I'm there was a virgin when they met me. I can't I can't believe you did me like right right, but damn you said the same thing.

But the other dude that you broke up with for like, you with him for a year and a half, two years, but it broke up with you and you ain't have no problems.

Right, but dependent it depends on who it is. Now. You know you, you're, You're, You're, You're a public figure, you're a stellar figure. You're a man of God. So it's different when you leave, because when you leave, I.

Mean it's it's hurtful, you know, and understanding what you bring to the table. Now you are the legs and the table. You're the nappers in the fork. So you got to understand when you leave a woman, she's understanding the chance of finding someone like you again, it's slim to none because at that point it's gonna be hop around, hop around, run around, hop around, hop around.

It's never it's never gonna stick. It's never gonna stick.

Now you're special, So you got to understand if they lose somebody like you, that's different.

And the thing was, oh, Joe, I mean the problem like that I had what I've had with a lady that I dated a couple of Yes, sir, it bothered them that I did for my family.

Yes, sir, I said, shouldn't?

I said, why does it bother you?

Come first?

You get everything that you want.

Come on, man, I say, you have an asd for anything that you haven't been able to get.

Yes, shir So why does it bother you?

Like when your kids grown, they steal my kid, I'll give you that Iday fifty.

If I'm seventy five, they's still my kids. That's my mom, that's a real sister. I'm gonna take care.

Of them because before before any of this, I had Sterling, I had Sheriff Shark. Right, they were the one that was coming to my game. My mom was giving us what she could on the money that she made. So for me, what type of person would I be if I have? Because I look at it, I know.

For certain if the roles were reversed.

If my sister was in the position that I'm in, my sister would do everything for me and my brother that we've done for her. If my brother was in the position that I mean, And I know what I had in college. If you could go basket and ask anybody at Savannah State from eighty seven to eighty nine when SHAWNA. Sharp was in college and ask him what Shannon Shark drove and ask him what I had Lee Levi's eyes, Jackson hose trainers.

Yeah, I have all that and kept a pocket full of money. Yes, sir, I would.

I could go to the Savannah Ball any time I wanted you, right, So, oh, I'm gonna take care. I will take care because they don't mean nothing to me. Because everything that I look at, ojo, everything that I really do, it's for them.

Now.

You know, I've bought a couple of pieces you know. You see boy, see, I see you. I say, how about to be a couple of pieces of jewelry? You know.

But that's that's a red flag off jump, especially if you're dealing with somebody, somebody if let's say you wanted to spend a lifetime with them, if that was your life partner, that's somebody you had no problem saying. You know what, if I was a wake up to anybody else the rest of my life, it'd be you. And the fact that the individual has a problem with you taking care of your immediate family that has been there way before she was yes, she came along, that's a red flag and that's a no go.

That's a non negotiable. Oh yeah, for sure, that's a non negotiation.

Yeah.

Especially look when it comes to taking care.

Of your kids, even if they are even if they are wrong, come on now.

Even my homeboys I got you know, you know everybody heard me mention Bucket and Burns. If I give one something, the other one ain't even got to ask. I'm gonna send him something. Yeah, I keep them either, because they I know for certain, if the roles were reversed. There as certain people, you know, Joe, if the roads were reversed. If Bucket was in my position and I was in his, he'd be the same way for me, would be the exact.

Ain't question. I don't even question it.

They know if something he knows, if something were to happen to him, he already know his family.

Taking care of.

Yeah, one Bucket, he know, if something happened to him, his wife taking care of.

He't got to ask.

Yeah.

The whole boy used to play cards together. His name was Elijah Alexander. He was a good He passed away. His wife, Kim. You know, if she need anything, she got my number.

Yeah, I ain't.

No, I'm trying to talk to her back though, nothing like that. I got too much respect for him, and I've been knowing them before they got married, So she know, if she need anything, somebody to talk to something monetarily, I got it. Yeah, because I know Eli would have done the same for me. Bucket and Burns. I got three brothers, Sterling Shap Daryl McCormick, and Keith Burns. Yeah, I got three brothers one. Yeah, that's how I ride on. Yo, if I ride with you, there ain't nothing you can't

Yeah, yeah, I gotta, I gotta.

I got a small I got a small group, a very small group, just like that, just like you say.

But obviously you know. I got two brothers, Sam Man Chaunce. I got a sister, Shaneida.

I got my homeboys here in Miami that kept me on a straight and narrow anything they ever wanted. It's a small group. Bo rep Risard. Yeah, that's three down here, Bobo and Hound. That's that's the five down here Miami. Then I got my Cincinnati folk or if they ever need anything, donk you hear me when I say anything. Yes, they know they're good main lows. Ryan Locke anything, that's it Rico, that's five.

They need anything? Unkh They good?

Yes, never wont for nothing, never asked for nothing. I just know if if they were in my position and I haven't needed.

That's they got. Oh Joe.

That's how I look at every such and I really try to evaluate that. And I played college ball with Bucket, so I've known Bucket since eighty eight. We've been probably best friends probably since ninety one, over thirty years.

Burns I met him in ninety four. He's really the first rookie that I really hung with, and so he and I be cool basically since day one.

I always try to look at it like if the roles were reversed.

First, yeah, they would you extend that same service?

Yeah, yeah, I got Hey.

Listen, it's so funny, madg I know, I know Rasha.

We call them doing. Anybody in the chat no doing when the Gables.

Uh work work work, work, work with the mayor down here in Miami. I didn't know Sears in ninety eight, nineteen eighty eight. We played on Miami. Lack's Optimist together since eighty eight, live right down the street from me. When I went to pro bos shot, it was at the pro Bols when we had big games.

Shot.

It was out there in Cincinnati.

Man, some some good times, and it's hard to find the value.

It is true friends. True. I mean there's a difference now, true fans.

Not those that are there just because of what you can do, right, those that really value through the ups, through the downs, and nothing never changes, you know, you know, you know when you really got a true friend is when you say no the time when you say no and they don't buy the eyelash, they don't get upset.

They still call a check on you. That's the hard part.

You never know who your true friend is until you tell somebody know for the first time that what it really is.

Oh, Joe, you know, like my brother, he ordered shaved by La Portier, He ordered Nightcap merch.

He ordered Club Sha shape merch. Hm.
