We started off with what's up? Would that do? Oh? It's Friday. I feel good, all right. I had a great lunch. And remember I told y'all about two weeks ago I had a lunch with one of my former bosses at the Four Letters ESPN. Well, we're gonna be working together, and I'm so elated because he's gonna help turn Project Transition not only into a global charity, but run it like it's say business like he ran ESPN. So I know y'all gonna start guessing who is who is it? Good luck I will have a press release or we'll have a launch event or something like that. I'll put his name out there soon enough. But it was just great breaking bread with him once again. Always been one of my favorite people to the point where we still had that relationship, and now he's in a place where he wants to give and he knows me I'm making a living off a given, so we're gonna do this the right way. So excited for that. Last night, went to another charity function event. It's called teen Impact. I love to share the love man. I went to this event. It was amazing, hosted by Nina Westbrook. YEP, sounds like who it is? Right. Basketball player used to go to UCLA married to Russell Westbrook. So let's just say they kids might ball. Let's see how that turns out. Right, amazing charity because I've known of the work of this charity and it was great to finally put a name to it and see the infrastructure, which is kids with severe disabilities.

I'm talking like cerebral palsy, etc.

Like just kids who really have it tough, and their whole life experience with their mother, their father, their family is nothing but doctor appointments and disappointment a lot of times. The videos just gut wrenching, pulling on your heartstrings. I'm just watching it. You see some of the kids their live attendance and it was just.

Wold, very emotional for real.

It was at the River Era Country Club and walking around there with Chip Kelly there, Martin Jarmond was there, ad for UCLA, etc. A lot of great people really chipping in for this cause. But the Kansas basketball team when they won the championship, a lot of teams when they go out there and you'll see maybe a disabled kid with them, Well, there's a program Team Impact that places that kid with those players, with that college, with those collegiate athletes and they become a part of the team and they practice with them, you know, and run win sprints with them and just really inspire. Man. The crazy thing is they both give to each other because you learn appreciation, strength, resiliency, all those kind of attributes when you're around someone who obviously is fighting for their life.

You're out there trying to fight for a position, win a game.

They're fighting for their life and they're like ten years old and they're telling you to stop crying, and they're telling you it's gonna be okay, and they're telling you they're gonna be.

Fine, and a lot of times they're not. Rn It was crazy.

Well all right, so amazing work being done by Team Impact. You guys look them Upteamimpact dot org and check their organization out.

And support it. All right, y'all, what shall we.

Do right now? I think we should get into this show right now? Okay, Well, first we got to show you that this show was powered by you, empowered by Project Transition dot org. Project Transition dot org, make sure you support our organization to help these kids discover that inner power and amplify for the world to see, so they're greater than their greatest excuse yep, that's the challenge. Like Shay Wilson, Tucson, Arizona. Thank you for the support of the Foundation and Jordan Moseley, I keep seeing it. Salute to you out there for Washington, Maryland. Keep supporting Project Transition. Love to you, big dog. All right, let's talk about john and Manzel and that way that he didn't poured his own damn career. The sucker he got to the NFL said I got the chill to chill to chill, didn't put in no work. Oh my god. I have not seen this one with my own eyes, but I've heard of guys like this. Obviously, Michael Vick had some famous quotes out there where he didn't necessarily watch film or study as much.

As he should have.

But Johnny Manziel is on record, and he ain't the only one saying that he watched zero film in the NFL. All right, so we know who Manziel is and I ain't gonna lie. I got caught up in that mainia too. When he ran that one playoff. It was A and M versus Alabama, and he was running like that. I was like, ooh, backyard boogie, that's my guy. Little dude, little engine that could, little Doug Flutie again. Yo. Yeah, I was all in on it, right, And then I don't know if it was Drake or something happened. I was like, I'm off, I'm off something happened, and it wasn't Drake thought it was just like he leaning away too hard into that lane.

So his NFL career was marred.

By a lot of failures, let's be real, and one key reason, they say, is obviously lack of dedication. So the Untold Johnny Football documentary on Netflix highlights his failure to study game film, as confirmed by his former agent, who heard from other general managers that Manziella doesn't watch tape. Bro, he don't watch no tape. He don't know. And the agent said, Eric Burkhard said his iPad hours is zero point zero zero, A damn shame, all right, So Manzil, I'm self admitted to not watching any game film, indicating this severe lack of preparation. And he said, yeah, it was zero as well. Now let's talk about it. You remember that time you went to the Cavs game where you're supposed to start and all that stuff, and that was a big thing. I remember that one happened, and that just reinforced the perception. Hey, bru, you.

Ain't committed to your craft.

So obviously the lack of dedication, lack a commitment, you're not prepared, You're lack of work ethic. You're playing against the best players in the world. Guess what's gonna happen to you. Let's just say it won't go so well, and your potential to succeed will be like your iPad hours zero points zero zero. But there was also sound of this that came. Mike mcdaiells talked about it, and he was in Cleveland when Johnny Manziel was there.

So I want you all to check that out.

I was there.

I was there too.

I was there. I was there, and I was getting the.

Reports of zero that is real.

How do you go to the gum coaches saying, hey, man, look, Johnny don't know nothing. He ain't look at no film.

I tried to stay in my lane at that time. It was kind of a hairy situation. You know, it's up in the air whether or not there was congruence of thought in that draft selection. Let's say, so we knew what it was and at that time, it was more like see you know, yeah, that was that was a wild time there.

And I want y'all to them just think about what he said, because he said the obvious, but he said something else in there another layer that I love that he ain't get in the way. And I love that about sports, that there are actual roles, get in where you fit in, you eat what you kill. Like sports, I mean, more than anything else that I've been a part of. And it's supposed to be a pure meritocracy, but it's not because there is politics and sports.

But still it's damn close. WHOA you can have it all.

I mean everybody at your feet, begging feet, just oh, worshiping you, or you can have people dissing you, dismissing you, cutting you, getting rid of you, discarding you.

And it's all based on what you do. That's it.

I remember when I was the man at the peak of my powers in the NFL, San Diego couldn't tell me dog, And I mean, look, it takes a discipline to not go and take advantage of that, and I'm sure I did.

Oh I'll give you one quick example.

I was banging that master p one time when they had chapel and I had my doors open and I had what four fifteens.

And I ain't here, and I'm like, damn.

I'm disrespecting God. And it wasn't like that. It was just like, dog, you really caught up. I got all my chains on not going to chapel that week. I used to go a lot, though, but one going that week Boom boom boom. They couldn't even read. They can't even a Philippians four. I was in the zouel, right, So I was ignorant at times. I know I was, But I always prepared. I want to know why, because preparation is the separation. Sounded like Russell Wilson up here, but yeah, preparation is the separation if you prepare. Oh, it ain't even the like be better than them first. That occurs, like you don't know if you better than them even though you prepare, because there have been times when you're well prepared, still got your ass kicked. Right. It ain't about that like I'm prepared, I'm gonna beat you. Nah, you better calm down, bruh. It's a lot of other things that play other than that preparation. But I tell you what, it always does. It always empowers you to anticipate in football, but not guess. There's a huge difference. A lot of casts guess, and when you guess, you're gonna guess wrong. But when you anticipate, you always prepare for wherever it goes, whatever comes right, you anticipate, I think they're gonna run over here? How they did?

I jump on it?

Right? But if you guessing, you just like they're gonna run here, Oh damnit, play action over right. Anticipation like I think it's coming here, think it's here you And that's what preparation does. It makes you like almost relive that moment because you've been through it before, because you prepare for it like you really live through it. You visualized it. Your mind's already there. Now your body has met you there, and now let's go make that play. That's the only thing. And Johnny Manziel, damn dog, you must be ignorant. Ain't no party that fresh, ain't no drake hangout that cool. You got only a football field with trained assassin's black belts all around, and you.

Experienced that for the first time on the field.

Oh come to oh man, you better already it better be muscle memory. Oh that's coming too. Here we go right, Oh they oh they dropping deep. All right, let's run the ball right here. Just check out of that. Come on. But if you like what they do, oh, let's go. The man that long, that long in football gone or sack. So he really didn't do himself any favor. That's crazy. And the mental dynamic of someone who goes that far and doesn't prepare in those moments tells me two things.

One self sabotage.

That person got some deep demons and two self worth issues. Didn't think they deserved that didn't think thirty words here of that cast out right there, pop champagne. Without winning the championship, you ain't working when you get there. All that work, you know what I mean? Heels?

You know how many drills?

You know? I many skills you gotta have to get there. And then you get there and you're like, I'm good, Pop up a drag and just chill.

Blow a line.

Hit Michael jack what little Wayne say? Hit?

Did Michael Jackson get a new nose?

What? What? Man Zel? You're different though, I gotta see you in these real streets. I gotta see you in real life and talk through that, but the self sabotage and the self worthfare issues are real. But hey, I've heard him recently talk about how he's distancing himself from the game and he's moving on. So that's good because I think he's addressing those demons because ain't no damn way you get that damn far and stop running. You imagine running the four hundred, get to three ninety and sax forget it now your legs and lack of gas is gonna say, hey, bro them last ten, that's on you. But you gonna quit. You don't stop moving, you don't stop working. WHOA, that's tough. So man, what do y'all think about this story? Like where would Johnny Manziel have been if he worked, like if he focused, if he dedicated, because he has he has some little skills in there. Don't don't say that height. Doug Flutie was balling too, made the Pro Bowl, Like you can ball at that hype.

Don't give me that hype stuff.

He was he was little in college and he was balling right, want of the heidsman to stop that? And like zero film, what's your thoughts of Like have you ever done that at your job? Like you ever had a big presentation, didn't even prepare at all, just went in there and winged it. Yeah you can wing it. Then somebody gonna clip your wings sooner or let it better stop playing. I just don't understand why he wasn't disciplined when he got to the league. Them party is gonna be bigger and better if you ball like you can't cash out. Yeah, be a baller, be as big as you could be.

Everybody gonna be waiting on you to go party. Got caught up.

Yeah, baby ding ding ding ding ding ding ding a ding.

Ding doom And then they hit that clip. You can smoke a split on the cliff, but you still won't be high enough. Or what did else? He say? Oh? What enough to tuss? So not they not being nating that whole happy pappy, that's happy to be nappy. I saw him at the Speach when I was hosting the after party in DJing, and I was like, that's Tretch and he was beyond cool, like one of those like dangs, super duper cool. Him had been rock. We were hanging out in the little section, and I kept looking like because when I was growing up, obviously I was smaller.

Now I'm way bigger and I'm way bigger than him.

Treach ain't that big, but he yoked and leaned all that, but he ain't that big. And I kept looking like and you remember he always had that bat. Now, I used to be like dog. I used to be kind of like intimidated. Boy he rapping the jersey. I was like, wooh, that sound rougher than New York. And he had that bat. And I remember growing up like, damn, I don't want to see trust nowhere. Then I saw Trusting there and were talking. I'm like, man, hey on, no, that's a cool dude. And he ain't that big. So but boy, he was ripping that stage. Man, that dude had a run. Respect to Tratch wherever you are, big dog. Respect.

All right, let's talk about this.

You talk going to the topic not yet probably transitioned out or you gotta support the kids first, it's for the kids. Got to be the kids. Now we'll hook it up. Let's talk about Michigan. Theay out there looking at what's this mean? What is this theay out there signed stealing allegedly. Let's talk to it. It's been a weird year for Michigan in terms of off the field or on the field indiscretions turning to off the field and punishments. Because on the field they're balling out of control. They look like the best team if you look at like margin of victory undefeated obviously twenty nine point average margin of victory. So they balling, all right, loaded roster. You can't poke holes in them right now.

Now.

Also you can allege that they are signs stealing because of a report that came from Yahoo that they may have broken the NCAA rules in the process. Here's a few layers.

Because I didn't my homework see Johnny Manzaiah'll do my homework.

I'm prepared. God dang. The legality of stealing signs, Murky, let's talk through it. If you can watch an opposing coach and deduce the call they say, go for it. Like if you just see a coach over there doing this, and then you know that play when you play them and he does this, defend that play.

That's all good.

Intercepting in gag communications is against the rules.

So if they doing something.

During the game, especially ing technology, you know you can't do that.

That's illegal though, all right.

So also illegal is in person scouting of future opponents. That means, oh, we got what Ohio state in three weeks? What you're doing today, Jim?

Nothing?

Well you got going, man, I'm gonna go take this flight out of the Ohio State. Go see the board door the ordeal. You better not say your ass home, all right? So they mentioned that specifically in this report. Now the athletics Brendan Quinn remember the name, uh he said quote, Michigan is being accused of using a vast network to steal opposing team signs. Oh damn a syndicate, Damn a network. And that's Look, I don't know what happened and what they doing. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying, blah blah blah.

But I do know when I hear network, I'm like, they try to cover their track.

You know, if you want to fool somebody, everybody go, you go get the signs right network?

So I was like, oh damn, that don't sound good. But we'll see what's happening, all right.

Despite the Big Ten claiming it knows about credible evidence of wrongdoing per Brandon, remember him, no material has been presented to Michigan yet.

So this comes after Jim.

Harball already had served that three game suspension for allegedly lying to the NCUBLEA officials.

Wasn't that about a hamburger or something? Something silly?

All right?

So he's denied having.

Any awareness of any cheating here too. Hey man, got my hands clean. I don't know what y'all talking about, Big as school, big old camping. Look, we got one hundred and ten thousand people at the damn game. You think I know everybody? Do it?

Go, Jim, get busy.

So it's funny that all this is happening. Two scandals for NC DOUBLEA in seven games and y'all undefeated. Coincidence like y'all getting y'all sself edge. Coincidence are causality? A sore? Do we go from? Here? Is the conversation. They even don't understand just shed It's extremely unclear. They think this could be either just swept under the rug, like look, dog, come on man, like we still got to play and what are you sorry? Our assistant grad assistant went to the game because her boyfriend was there and you know what I mean, like trying to play it off like that, or it could be a huge scandal because here we go again and your repeat of thunder.

In terms of being in trouble this year.

All right, And then there was one other caveat to this before I get into what my storytelling time is about. They suggested that they use NFL style microphones and the helmets, especially at the power five level, because then this would just go away, right, Like, you ain't gotta be doing all this.

If you just like, hey, bruh, run right.

You know what he'd be like, Okay, run right, run right right?

Do that simple.

But they're like, they did an article about it, and Chris Vanini wrote the story in twenty twenty two about it. Guess what it said It might be better for them to just keep it the same way because some schools would rather be good at signs stealing to implement new technology. Wow, they're like, na, na, don't clean this up. Don't make this perfect, because that is some gamesmanship. That's part of the game, you know, wink. We know how to handle this. We'll handle this ourselves. Interesting, all right, This takes me back to I got a story for y'all playing Peyton Manning. I don't know the year, I want to say ninety nine, probably ninety nine or two thousand one of those two. We're in Indy now in preparation.

For that week. All my god, we had some audio tips.

I don't know if we had the sounds, because usually you watch film in the dark and the quiet, you don't hear anything. So that's why a lot of times players don't know other players' names. We just know him by numbers. Hey, oh fifty five balling? No, he nice because you can't hear anything, Ain't no Al Michael saying number fifty five. Jared Irons like nobody doing that, right, So remember him for Michigan Beasts. So so we just like, oh, fifty five balling, okay, fifty five, oh right, and you just call him fifty five until he gets big enough, recognizable enough where now you ain't calling him fifty five. You call him by his real name. Oh oh oh, that's Junior. Say all respect, Salu. So you know what I mean.

So you got to get there first.

Now that said, I remember when we got audio tip a all week Peyton Manning. When he says a word that has an R in it starts with an R, that gonna run right, Okay, So we practicing. Remember you can anticipate don't guess. But when you get in the game, if you hear robot robot a rambow rambo or what Roger Roger, this is all before Omaha, He's like, check it out.

He might be running right. We get into the game first quarter.

Roger Roger, Roger Rogers said, hello, you hand that ball off to the right. No you didn't. Wow, And we I think we had the number one defense in the NFL that year, So y'all all, yeah, wow, all right, ramble ram ramble over rob rod rifle rifle, check rifle, check the rifle, check rifle. Trying to play it off like that check rifle, check rifle. Say it like he handing that ball off again. Were like, why wh wa wah all first half, why wh wow? Tearing them up. I think it was drim James there at that time. I come out in the second half. This is Peyton manning this the sheriff. Y'all he different and he come out. You know, he's sitting there, Roger Roger, Roger Roger saying, huck do this and this time he says sight.

We all there, including our secondary.

Yeah, Marvin Harrison running down the sideline, you know, with his quiet self just quietly like, come over here. Peyton manned through the ball. He caught it in the parking lot. It was touched down like nine hundred yards. We were like, we're having a rambo. We got killed, oh man. And that's the game you play, right, So that's why they signed Stealing, because you want to be able to anticipate what's coming. And if you can anticipate it, that means mentally you've already been in that moment. So now it's gonna be easier to make that play, and you're gonna make that play faster.

So it's crazy.

Another time this happened to me before we're actually signed Stealing, I was the victim and being a running back. So at Columbia, in case y'all forgot or didn't know, I don't know. I was a running back and kick returner on top of being a d N my last two years running back all four years d N my last two years for real, for real. I used to till, used to roll. So anyway, we're playing for them, don't laugh, power five, power five hundred, right, So we're playing for them, and I get like an eight yard game something crazy like second and two whatever, and coach on the sidelines. This is cocky, he got he like, I guess he thinking that Marshall's going to the league and he indestructible and they can't stop him. Guess what he did, and everybody know this signal. He tried to hide it though, he kind of like this. I'm like, all right, I know what that means to me, running back, let me do it again. We get it, you know, no huddle, Let's go. Guess who else knows what that is? Coach the other team, especially the opposing linebackers, And all I remember is getting the ball like this and woo.

Next thing I know, I was in.

The infield way by a fence, talking about I gotta go pee, and I missed my mama for real. And then the next thing I remember, I'm on the bus trying to poke through the emergency exit of the bus. You know that little donuhing up there whatever they he and you can escape from the escape atch. I'm trying to punch it out standing on the seats. I remember this, and I'm trying to peep. I was gonna get up there and try and peel and just leak all on the side and stuff.

They're like oh, don sit down. Then.

I remember that night or the next day, crazy, right, I got knocked the funk out. Long story short, I saw that dude like ten years later at a bar. He come up to me like this, I forget his name. Respect to you, bro. He was like this, you don't know me, do you? And I was like, first of all, I hate when people do that, like you know, I don't. That's why you asked that way. No, I don't. Why what was up? I was like, what was up? He was like, I played for four of them, remember me? I was like, no. He was like the linebacker. I got a good hit on y'all. Oh you knocked me out? Like, what's up for you?

Owe me a drink now, damnit?

So we had a good time, right, But there are so many micro things you could pick.

Up on a game, so many things.

When you see someone's fingers pressed and they used to be back in the old school, that means they abut to run the ball. When their fingers a light barely touching the ground, that means they go pass because he's trying to get up out of there right now was back in the old school days. What else we got used to see linemen who used to angle out like they couldn't help themselves a little fat butts.

They used to be like this.

You'd be like, oh you about to go that way? You're fat, boy, you better stand square. So now they really are good at that, but boy, it used to be a day they'd be like, you're like, which way you think I'm going? I think that way? Remember that? What else? Running backs in different stances, right, so they come out when they know they're gonna get the ball, they in it's like and when they ain't gonna get the ball, they kind of like, You're like, now I'm watching them shoulders, Boy, you better get back like that. If not, I'm gonna anticipate what the play is. Wide receivers tipping it. You know. You see some guys when they know they don't get the ball, they really leaning into it. Some guys when they know it they just got a run block, they be chilling. Sometimes. I even heard this about like Michael Irvin Dion said that I think he was. He was like he always put his Oh, Jerry Rice, he always put his inside foot there when he was gonna go and run a slant right one, two three, Because it's for the foot if the inside foot there, first step, second step, third step, pivot and then you run it. Little stuff like that, right, we pick up on all dog, we pick up on all of that. What else we got the speed of which they break the huddle sometimes like they be in the huddle and they go like this, and then you see how they disperse, and sometimes the receivers take off. You like, oh, they're about to pass. And if the receivers is just chilling, all they about to run. Little stuff. Man, it's crazy. All we do in that dark room with no sound on is fart. Let me start.

Do we be launching coach be yelling?

Shut up? But seriously, we all just want to watch for tendencies. It's all about to docing statistically what they may do. And then it's this probability one on one oh thirty eight percent of the time they do this. Ninety six percent of the time they do this. When the ball's on the right hash and it's under it's third and four are fewer they're going to pass the ball. You're like, all right, and then if you can remember all that anticipate that, oh you can ball, but you gotta prepare.

Manziel In all of this is for not what are you doing all week?

If you weren't doing what we were doing trying to figure out all those tendencies. Boy, you was on one. This gonna be a good one and oh this was a moment of my life. My boy. Actually he was my teammate in track. Then he became my sister's boyfriend, kind of weird. I was like, like, we run the eight hundred together, can you need my sister loan?

And he used to come by.

He had a black grand National, just like m c A did in Minute Society. He used to sit out front of my house named Daniel. I love that dude. You look what's so what? What's so? Boy? Good? He's always smacked. I'm like, you got two big in there, so I se he always good. But he had that national cling boy why whoa? And he came through one time and he's the first person to ever played this group and this song for me. So you know, since he was like my teammate and he was older though, I used to just clown and way more than I should. And I got away with it because he liked my sister too. So I hit him in the head of you better you better stop. You better stopped, all stop, just stop. So I jumped in this car one time and I was like, what's this what you're doing? And I turned up the music and guess what I heard? Now? I got a murder rap. I was like, what is this? He was like a bullolog. You don't know about the bullolog, you boy, you ain't no music. I was like, oh. And then I was skipping it. And now first I'm explaining I'm a hustler and this is exactly what a hustle us do. I was like, Oh, next track, I was like, what was this? And the next one was that one doom doom doom doom doom do am. I was like, I wanted the jackets. I wanted to take that whole thing. I was like. But then I was like, oh, doctor dre Woodham too, Oh this is killer. Oh first time I heard Butler Law. Shout out to you, Daniel, Thank you sister for Dayton Daniels giving me that moment. All right, y'all, y'all know Projects Transition dot org support the community because I'm out there in the community making sure these kids become the greatest version of themselves. Five dollars that's all it is, we don't care. Just make sure these kids can get there. Hey, so go to Project Transition dot org. I'm sending out twenty one books. Twenty one more books are going out Monday, so make sure I can add you to that list. Leave a recurring donation. All right, let's talk about Michael Parsons because I'm liking this. You know I'm here for this. Michael Parsons criticizing the media for not discussing other guys and other people with the same energy they discussed the Dallas Cowboys. I thought he had an amazing premise. His premise is basically, talk bad about us, just keep that same energy. When other teams play bad like us, talk bad about them. I'm not even getting into the fair iness conversation, right, I am not a boy scout. I'm not over here selling candy for registrant. This ain't no Hallmark card. But it's like, if you're gonna kill us, if somebody else is guilty, kill the ass. Too simple as that. What's wrong with that? But the media has a double standard. So that was pointed out and he talked about that. Now there is some sound on this. Oh you're getting mad. Media, see every talking about the media, and all a sudden series start getting into it.

So there's some sound.

But I want to wait on that right now because I want to talk about who responded to Michael Parsons, and it was ESPN reporter Kimberly Martin. And Kimberly Martin took his comments and took him somewhere else. You can say that's taking them out of context, but she hadn't take him out of context. She just didn't even She dismissed them and side stepped them and did something else. Okay, so she started talking about the Eagles and the Super Bowl when Michael Parson's talking about right now Week six, them losing and us winning and what we are right now. So I think this would be a good time and listen to what Kimberly Martin said about Michael Parsons in his creaticism of the media. Let's hear it.

I just want to know where was Michael Parsons in February.

He was at home.

He was watching the Eagles in the Super Bowl that have the same energy. Yes, I applaud him for coming to the defense of his quarterback as a good teammate should, but don't get it confused. The star comes with different expectations. And when's the last time they were in the Super Bowl?

M interesting? Interesting? Few things stand out to me now. One thing is I want y'all to know one thing. We're in the locker room, y'all. We're in the locker room.

If you sensitive, go out there, you sensitive, go out there. We're in the locker room. Were about talk talk?

Okay, all right, me, I'm gonna pull myself at Michael Parkson's position.

Who on the funk do you think you are?

Talk? Oh? I need to keep the same energy as the Eagles who made it to the super Bowl but lost, but still made it to the super Bowl. Because my team hasn't been to the super Bowl forever. My first thoughts are like, if I'm Michael Parson, be like, who in the hell is talking to me like that?

Now?

We have been desensitized to actually responding like that. I know I have I got long. I'm long over talking about dog. You ain't even play like that's that's almost like Tatboo to say, but it's real. But it's tabboo to say, follow me. I'm gonna take y'all somewhere. So I'm not gonna go there. Who are you to play? You don't even play. But you can say that about a lot of cats. But well, I ain't gonna go there. Then I hear, wait a minute, look at this time shift. I'm talking about what y'all talking about right now? We win, but y'all still criticizing Dad. I get it, you just sticking stick enough for your quarterback. But I'm talking about right now and you're talking about that team back then, when if you know your work, if you know sports, in consecutive years, no team is the same.

So you're talking about the Eagles that went to the Super Bowl.

You know, they have had transactions, they've had changes, and there's no guarantee they can go back, and they didn't even win it when they win.

So this is how athletes are built.

And this is what's messed up right now because we got a little we got a little issue. We're a little disjointed in this conversation athletes a media. If I'm a Dallas Cowboy and you're a Philadelphia Eagle, are we talking about right now? Are we talking about well last year when you went to the Super Bowl and lost, or are we talking about just the organization in general. If you want to flex, then less flex, which way we flexing? Though?

See that's the thing I hate.

They start moving this gold post and rigging the scoreboard to say, well, the Eagles of last year is why they get the benefit of that. But you're like, I gotta do with anything. They ain't even win it. Did they hoist another one? But they won one more recent than you. Interesting, well, we won more than them all together. It's like, you ain't gonna never end that. So I got desensitized. I stopped having that argument because it was futile. I was like, it's silly, but you're still thinking that even though it's futile.

So when I.

Heard her say that, I'm like, one, I'm hearing somebody who didn't play. Two, I'm hearing a woman say it. And why am I bringing that up? Because women always bring that up to men. And I'm gonna talk through it. But wait for it, all right, So a team that won to the super Bowl and loss last year gets to have the teflon gets to have the exemption from criticism. That's what we're doing, oh, because they're different expectations. Because you're a cowboy who set them expectations you or me? Like what? And did the Eagles meet the expectations? Made it to the Shuper Bowl. Oh that's what we're doing now. Okay, So now being top two, you good? What about top four? No?

What about top eight? Top sixteen?

Making the playoffs?

What are we doing here?

Right? It's like, wow, it's unreal what people would do. So this was all about keeping the same energy. I thought it was really simple that all they had to do is just sit there and say, all right, Michael, we're gonna keep killing the Cowboys, but we'll kill everybody else that deserves it, right and throwing what three interceptions and losing the game, And y'all ain't gonna say nothing, just because I know Jayla Hurst is a beast. I know he's so likable, and I will feel the same pressure. But I'm gonna do my job, and my job would be to say exactly what that was? Jay Len urts, I don't know about that game right there? That game, not you, not all that. So it's funny all this stuff happens to the Cowboys. And she did an address that fun The friends and foes of the media is so uneven and it's so obvious too, we get it. But I'm not trying to say mercy on the Cowboys. I'm saying destroy everybody else with the Cowboys.

Right, or mercy to all. And I don't want that.

I want you to do real analysis, real breakdowns, and make sure it's even whatever that is. However, as I say, keep the same energy, that's keeping the same energy.

So me being desensitized.

But still feeling that inner conversation and turmoil that comes from it gets to the part of her being a woman. Let me tell you this, cause there are levels to things. Right, when you speak on something, we all know the levels, right. First thing is, when you're speaking on something, you always be thinking have I done that? When you're the critic, right, you're not in an arena, you're in the crowd, and you're a critic of that, Have I ever done that? And then you be like, can or can't I do that? Right? Do it well? Can I do it? Can I do it well? Well? In this conversation, we already know some of the obvious answers. I'm going somewhere, ah Man. So in the locker room, a lot of times we sit there and be like, why is this dude? Talking trash about me, stude. They didn't even play intramurals in junior high. But you let it go cause he gonna keep talking and he gonna keep writing, and they ain't gonna do you no favors trying to call him out. So you get punked into like letting him slide. And then women are doing it and there's no problem, Like it ain't a gender issue. But it's just like because of gender. There is a pro football tackle league. Y'all don't support it, but I know of it. It's one of the team in San Diego. I know about. But they exist. But Kennedy that Martin didn't play for him, right, So so you're gonna get the same here's keeping the same energy. If we clown these male reporters, we clown on the stephen A. Smith's that time you hear people, oh, Jalen Rose go to skip, Hey, equal rights, let's go at the lady. But people don't do that double standard. They ain't keeping the same energy. They get shook. Well, let me tell you why. It's interesting that when I see so many conversations, like I got four kids, so I've had these internal conversations, private conversations and public conversations. I know that I have never and can never ever ever give birth to a child. So I have been smacked before. It feels like verbal smacked before because I didn't know my limits, or I was trying to exceed, or I was trying to exceed those bounds. Basically, it comes out like this, you have never done this, you will never do this, so why are you talking about it like that? With that much energy? Could imagine if I went up there met the man and told a woman about childbirth and told her all about it like, oh I did, start critiquing her, suck it up, ah, you weak? Like whatever it is. Whatever example you want to give to you, imagine how she would be one looking at me. Forget the backlash, what she would be like, what the hell you talking about? You? You have not and you will not. The only only gap in that example is technically, Kim, you can play football. You haven't no tackle football with them, the big girls out there. It's like big boys. But you came at him like I'm in the game too, I know what's up? What's cracking?

I just want the same energy.

So in that example, you imagine I'm just like I know, oh, I didn't childbirth, and then I start saying, well, she last year when she had she had triplets, and you sitting there crying with just having one baby. What I'm not even gonna get into the abortion parkt boy, don't a man should not tell our woman nothing. You're right, but what they're really saying is not a gender conversation.

What they're really saying.

Is you can't do this, you haven't done this, and you won't do.

This, so shut it.

WHOA. I wish Michael would hit him back, keep that same energy and see what happens. That would be interesting. I told y'all were in the locker room, these double standards are everywhere, and they be trying to limit you so you can't speak, but never shut up.

Make sure we learn and unlearned together in this one.

So if I were Michael, I would just remind her that that team ain't this team, and this team ain't that team.

Part one, Part two is Oh, you don't want to.

Keep it even you want to just really come at us, And they gave some of the worst exist amples. Oh, you guys get more attention, you get more endorsements, expectations are higher. What does any of that fuel you to a damn super Bowl. Oh, we getting so much hype. We gonna win today. Call him out, y'all, just call him out. It's okay. I got your back. If you're telling the truth, if you're right, I got you back. Trust me. And it ain't gonna say nothing nothing that's gonna make sense. They're not gonna say anything that makes sense like that. That critique right there, I just thought it was pretty simple and lazy and didn't even address what he said. He's just like dog clown us clown them too. Right, if we got jokes today on people with shoes that got holes in them like I did in high school, I had holes in my shoes. Okay, oh, look at Wiley, one of those with the holes. But when he walks in with holes on this no jokes. Oh oh, now, I see how the energy really is in this room. So y'all tell me. I just wanted to get that off. Does she have a point and does mikel have a point? I think her point is, Look, we give benefits of the doubt, and I respect that cause you're like, uh, if Tom Brady the year he doesn't win the Super Bowl, all some wing and forget that's Tom Brady who on won four or five or on his way to his sixth one, right because he was six and four went to ten, six wins, four losses, right. So but in the losses we're not like, oh, eli yo, daddy, even though y'all was joking like that. So that's the point. Does she have a point? That was her point? Benefit of the doubt. But in sports we already know it. Nick Saban says that every year it's so real, Hey, that team that did that last year, ain't this team this year? So to shut it, you know, And that's what's crazy. Sometimes it gets lazy and simple up there, and they just be like, well, he went to the super Bowl last year, so he can mess up this year. Oh okay, but I didn't go to super Bowl last year. I was almost the defense player of the year. But this year I could do it. And girl go ahead, all right, Michael got a point. Does kimber Lely have a point? Let me know, beat it up in the comments, and do I have a point. God, I just look at everything simply like before, especially if I haven't done it, like I can't draw. So somebody showed me some paintings or something. I'm like, I remember I can't draw. I remember I won't draw. Remember I would never try. I just know. I don't go there cause I can't beat that much the critic without ever being a contestant.

You know what I'm saying, the comp.

Oh oh, I'm caught. I got two in my head right now. But I'm gonna give you this one cause this one used to get me so damn hype. Yes, yes, y'all, y'all, you don't stop. Stop give it. I'm stopping the face. I got nothing to fruit. God, dang, the Beasie Boys were hard. That first out by BC Boys is literally top ten album ever.

Yeah, I mighta have to go there. I'm gonna really have to go there. Dah.

They had too many posse and effect. Paul Revere, that's like, that's like ninety songs in one. Oh my god, she's crappy. The beats, Rick Rubens, salute to you, brother for doing what you're doing. Salute the product Transition dot Org, and get this book. If you leave a recurring donation for these iddy bitties so they could be their best version of themselves, all right. Hmm. I wonder if This is the best version of Depot Samuels and my man Gardner Johnson because boy, bye bye bye boy, y'all talking that talk, and I love it. Let's talk that talk, right, So I'm just gonna get this one out quick. Let them go at it. Y'all know what it is. We got a dB from Detroit d d D. And we got a San Francisco running back receiver kick return. I don't know what he everything.

All world Deebo Sammes. Let them talk through this.

Listen to the sound because my man Gardner Johnson ain't feeling debo.

Skills another thing, bro, Listen, don't be friendly when.

You see me because you be so flashy.

You better hope well, you better hope all that talking be doing when we see y'all do whatever around it may be because I can't guard you. You can't run route. You're running back. You're running back. I ain't gonna sit here and play with you a little boy, just because you got a little bag. People gave you a little cloud man. You ain't nothing, bro, Stop playing.

Tangy. We used to say in that locker room. When somebody try to come at us real instead of spicy, be like tangy. Yeah, the fucker sucker tangy right here. All right, so we heard some of the quotes right there. I'm gonna talk through it. So Debo responded, like, what's so crazy that I have no idea where it came from?

Just sounds like he's mad.

I got a little bag and a lot of money, he said, a little bag a lot of money. That's when you know you ain't telling the truth. Just say it. I got paid fool and nobody knows who he is. That's cold and that's real. I ain't gonna speak too much on it. That shit is over with. I was laughing the whole time. That was comedy. He looked like it was about the cry. Stop making stuff up in your head. Next time we see them might be worse for like the Cowboys game, right, m okay now? CJ. Gardner Johnson is like, don't be friendly when you see me. Better, hope all that talk you're doing when we see you all whatever round that may be. You can't run routes. You're a running back, and I ain't gonna sit there and play with you a little why little why whoa. Let me tell you what this means in terms of bulletin war material. Okay, because all those things, all those quotes back and forth is just funny emotional content. I get it. More of a kick out of it, then it's gonna have a return on the field. Let me tell you how it does translate on the field. When you start talking trash coach, got bulletin boar material, you all geeked up, you ready hanky all that stuff. When you get on that field, you can't and you won't hit anybody any harder than you would have if you didn't hear those comments and quotes not based on that trash talk. You won't and you can't hit harder than you already work. However, this is how you can do it, and this is how it translates. You can find more opportunities, more times to hit them, and hit them longer.

That's how it goes.

Say so, if I'm about to play a game, I'm gonna tell you every single game I've ever played in I tried to kill somebody. Now did it work, thankfully?

No?

But did I ever knock some foods out?

Hell?

Yeah? And I try to knock him all out every time, But most times you're out of position. Most times you're going to get somebody else who's good. Most times they getting paid all the time, so they paid to stop you. So it's not like you're gonna just get destroyed hit every time, but when you could, and when I did, all to full advantage of it. So when you're out there and you realize, oh, this dude trying to be tangy, Okay, I'm not gonna get perfect opportunities to get him. I'm always trying to beat everybody up out here. You think I'm gonna be nicer to kittles because he ain't say anything? No why to him too. Here's the thing, though, I ain't gonna hit him longer, and I ain't gonna find more opportunities to find kittle Oh but you debo, wherever you go there, I am.

Mother suck them, Yeah, everywhere I can. It ain't gonna be harder.

There's gonna be more times you catch that, more times hit him longer, and then then when yeah, instead of that, y'all. You know you play with little kids, You a little kid like this, and then you just lean on them like where you're going, little boy, you should start leaning on him, elbow in his head, all that playable guys that did that to the echo of the whistle, we used to call it. So there's there's two whistles. It's if you running track for a billion dollars to beat me running right on the whistle. There's two whistles me, I know how to go as soon as I hear I'm out. I'm out. You look, you said like you can. Luck now after that first three four steps you're gonna catch me. But but I'm out because that's the beginning of the whistle. But there's also an end to the whistle, the echo and if you waiting, oh wait, let's go. When you wait for the echo of the whistle, that means the ref blue the whistle and you still flying in ah and the ref light.

You heard that whistle, You're like, yeah, I heard it, heard the end of it.

Why so you play to the echo of the whistle as they say, you know, you can call off dogs. Everybody's done it before. It's like red light, greenlight, red light, greenlight, red light green like red light. You know, you don't playing with kids. They're like like, instead of they go, that's how you get them back.

So watch if they see each other in the playoffs whatever.

They don't think they got each other the record season, they see each other play out there, it's gonna get tangy out there. So where do y'all think this is really stemming from me? I always make the lazy assumption, but it's ninety nine ninety nine percent true.

What's her name?

And how much y'all just beefing off a GP y'all just woke up to day. I won't like that fool something else. It's either her name, y'all or how much he owe you something? So where y'all think this is really stemming from? Or maybe they just had competitors. It's how the game go and how to fuse like this really go down on the field. I could tell you just watch watch the next time you hear some people got the war words. How they play the game more times in a little longer. That's how it's gonna go. All right, y'all, It's time for me to ups with comments, bunk ups with comments. Yeah boy, I love coming in here on songs. I'm over here thinking about Monday show already to do some songs that about the long got that thing got me hype as hell? Will bond let's get hype on Willbon. She should have said to Will Bond, you ain't got the lie Craig, that's funny. Willbon backtracked because he didn't want his comments to get played out. If you say the energy suck for the biggest crowd for the WNBA, then you're saying either the people either didn't care for the product and or they were there for other reasons. Come on, y'all, and then everyone will come after him as a w NBA hater or a sexist. That's why he didn't care to still go after the fans when it came to setting the record straight. Yeah, it's the worst kept secret. The wb NBA is not the that's product. Like everybody knows that it's the highest level of women's basketball, but it's not the best products, not the best basketball right stop. So if you talk bad about it, people always like want to clown you. You be like, are you watching like she's just airballed like again, or you know, like whatever, damn, there are men sports that's up too, Like it's okay. People want you to just like everything that's that's a trap. I think Lucas Oil Stadium is awesome, but my dad went to a game in Dallas once and said the stadium was so big you can look and spoil inside of it and have room to spare. Yeah, that is crazy. Some of these stadiums gigantic. You'd be like I just went to the Rose Bow a couple weeks ago. I said, God damn one of you, the granddaddy of them all, sucker huge. I'm from Brooklyn. If you taller than six feet you're going to be uncomfortable in the crowd. Don't get loud at all.

He not lying. The Nets owner is stupid. He wasn't talking about their attendance.

Yeah, it'd be packed, but they ain't cheering, and they cheering louder for the other team.

You don't believe me, just go watch the game. When the Warriors come to Barclays.

Well, we've already dispelled that on this show at least that when you're a destination city, you're gonna get invaded La New York Vegas. They coming. WNBA just needs to convince Travis and Taylor to show up to a game and their numbers will get up quick. You stupid. I have to get KC at an away game so I can afford the damn tickets. They charging like that out there interesting. Bill Simmons podcasts feel way more personal. And it's, like you said, because it's all between the ears, whereas TV is all over the place. Watching you on brinks, though, I realized why you designated yourself as the co host killer, because I can see folks having a hard time keeping up your sharpness, brother, keeping up with your sharpness, brother. Oh that's love. Good to see you in the light again. Man, miss seeing You've been watching you since you were playing football. Appreciate that sharpness is a word.

I like that.

I am sporadic baby, like you know, like some people got rifles, some people got shotguns. When they talk, I got a oozy. I can go everywhere. I go everywhere, like I just we're gonna talk about a rap song next, then were gonna talk about your MoMA. Then we gonna talk about my X, and then Wenna talk about wife. Then we gonna talk about kids, and then we go you can't keep up? And I always laugh at people and they be like, no, what like my bad tell my brain works. Matching is mad because they got money very young. Oh meanwhile, I'm matching had to hit up corporations and make his money through shady business practices. Interesting you went.

There, I am not all right?

Shall y'all know how we finished every show We finished with a why lee is yeah brought to you by bet us. Yes, we don't get burned out because of what we do. We get burned out because we forget why we did it in the first place. WHOA heard this last night? You don't get burned out because what you're doing. I'm tired of doing this. What you really are saying is you forgot why you started doing it in the first place. WHOA Biggie Small said something like this. He said, treat my first like my last, and my last like my first. If you can stay in that energy, if you can stay in that mindset like oh this is precious, and then you can also feel like, wow, this is amazing, cause this is an opportunity. Oh that's that pure energy right there. You gonna create something good from it, right. But we all get fatigued and stuff, even in success. I remember I wanted to quit football, why cause I was I wanted to go play with my friends out front and ride bikes. Got tired of scoring four and five touchdowns every day. Seriously, and I'm not bragging. I'm like, I'm scoring five touchdowns a game. It felt like they don't want to play no more. My daddy was like, what, but you all get burned out because of what I was doing? Five touchdowns?

The man I ain't I got.

I forgot why I played football in the first place. And why did I play football in the first place.

One because I.

Was fearless too. I was fast. Three. That was my way of having brothers. I ain't have any brothers growing up.

I only had uncles in them streets. So I was like, nah, not y'all.

I need some little kids out here selling candy with me, right, a little more pure? Then I remind Then my dad just said, hey, commitment this. You're gonna finish what you started. You finished this season, you want to quit after that, Let's have a let's have a conversation after the season. All right, went out there immediately got reminded why I loved football. One, I got the ball get out of my face. Second of all these my brothers. I love little Kurt. I love Gummy, that's my dog. Oh.

I love seeing Hubert rush because he.

Was almost as fast as me, and I hated that because he always made me you have to work always every time I saw him, Oh, tremain folks and Hubert rush every time I saw him, Like, damn, I gotta run fast, coach, You're like whisprints. Let's go wiley.

Yeah all right, coach, I'm gonna win, but barely.

God dann a fast. Remind yourself while you got into it in the first place, guys, no matter what it is, right the relationship, your wife, your husband, your kids, if you got prob yes, parents know this. I know people want to act like, oh, we love our kids all the time. Yeah we do. But boys, in taxing, reminds yourself how you were as a kid and how you wanted your parents always to be emotionally ready for you, right, emotionally invested in you, always emotionally available for you. So make sure you returning that. I mean having them kids get you when you did, you at your edge, you at your end, your wits end. And I don't like that.

No, no, no, don't be short with them kids. Give it to him. So it's simple.

I was there last night, told you, guys, emotional charity sitting there like, wow, this is deep.

And then he hit me with that wild is and right there. So don't forget.

We don't get burned out because of what we do, get burned out because we forget.
