Tang took some shots at the Cowboys when he got there. Let's take a listen to the video courtesy of Hawk Blogger on YouTube.
Take a listen to this.
Oh Joe, uh oh, Now, Dallas is my home made my home there.
You know my family lives there.
You know I'm ever going to be there, but you know, I know for sure I'm not gonna win a Super Bowl there.
So yeah, we're here.
We're here.
DeMarcus Lawrence, Welcome to the Seahawks. Thanks for joining us. Wow.
Hold on, Joe, Michael Parsons, Then this is this what rejection and envy looked like. There's some clown ish d law responded, calling me a clown won't change the fact that I told the truth. Maybe if you spent less time tweeting and more time winning. I wouldn't have left demon.
I like it. Wow, I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
I like it.
They don't really feel like that about each other. But you know, you know how you know when when somebody leaves and they go somewhere else and they understand and they see how the culture is. And and this is the Seahawks won the Super Bowl? How long ago? How long that was on?
That wasn't that long ago? Yeah no, no.
No, no, no no no no no, no, no no no, twenty twenty, twenty thirteen, twenty thirteen, they won twenty thirteen.
Listen, they won more more recently than the Cowboys, I can tell you that. And miss mister Lawrence, who's been in Dallas for a very long time, and understanding why they haven't won one as opposed to how the fans see why they haven't won one, and understanding that Jerry's bottom line isn't really about winning.
But making money.
He actually has the ground to stand on being able to say that now that he's going somewhere else, because you can see how things are run, he can see how things are run. Well, hell, they haven't won a Super Bowl or trying to win one, or bullying building the type of team.
To win one in a very long time. They haven't.
So he's just telling the truth. And understand, Michael. Michael has to do. You gotta come, you got you got to defend your team.
You got it. You got to defend one for me, O Joe.
You have to be careful when you go to another team because you know of it and you're like, oh, yeah, I'm so happy to be here with so much.
This team is so much better than the team that I left.
So you have to be careful of that because it's easy to get caught up into that because I remember having my press conference and I was like I wanted to say certain things, but I had to be like, Okay, Shannon, come on, now beat a bigger person. You're happy that you enjoyed your ten years in Denver. It was an opportunity. Hey, somebody gonna give you another opportunity to be what you were and you appreciate that. Uh, I'm a little surprised that that that. I'm surprised d Law said what he said. I'm surprised Micha just said what he said. And I'm really really surprised. D Law responded, so.
Not really, How how could you not? How could you not?
You got you got two people that love each other. You know, hurt people hurt it hurt people, hurt people.
Yeah, yes, truth, that ain't real.
Which about two dudes that played the same position, that been on the team, you know, three four years happened? How many years they've been together? They don't really feel like that.
I thought I thought you would.
I said that you're because we play together without mean we we we we we get along like that.
Yeah, yeah, even sober they get along. I'm telling I'm telling you I know them boys.
You know you ain't about you call clown? You ever call t J Al clown? You have a call clown?
No, not no deal the clown? No, no, no, no, no.
Oh damn. I'm trying to figure out. You have a call Big Willie, Willie my homeboy from me from the A. You have a call Willie?
Now you together, nobody, no clown that you're still cool with.
You got to understand, I'm an offensive player and I get along with everybody.
I'm just trying to figure out, So who have you called the clown that you love and you cool with.
Nobody.
I think I love everybody. That's my problem. That's my I think that's my problem. But again, I mean this, it's football, you know that. That's that's that's love talking. That's her talking.
Man.
I used to go to war, but you what were you talking about? We used to watch the field, We used to study film together.
What you're talking about?
We was in the weight room together. What is you talking about?
Let me ask you a question on Joe. Name the three people that will tell you the truth. Drunk kids, angry at people.
Mm hmm, they'll tell you that they listen. That's a you can I say something real anytime someone is angry at you. Whatever they tell you when they're angry, you have to hang on to That.
Didn't mean that, you said with Michael Parton rejected. Even looked like there's some clowns stuff you told me not to do today.
Hold on now, hold on now, hold on state No, I really I really wasn't talking. I really wasn't talking male to male.
Now.
I'm just I'm just throwing it out there for the fellas. You got to stay with me.
Oh so when a woman tells you that I'm hanging on to everybody tell me that, hey.
You got you got, you got to You got to hang on that because listen, when they drunk, they'll tell you how they really feel when they're angry, or they get everything, everything you wish for. Oh that's how you because the drug mouth is sober thoughts. Hey, okay, bat, I'm I'm gonna put that. I'm gonna put that in my back pocket and hold on to it. You can't never forget nothing. But listen, you know you know the boy, the boy that ain't serious like that. Now I do have I have to defend my team. Well, he says, you take a shot at me, you call me a cloud. Well I'll tell you what. Well, if your ass get off, goddamn stop tweeting and doing.
Whatever you're doing.
Maybe we went more than I wouldn't have left, and you were gonna leave regarding because they were gonna pay you. You want to stay in no way. But you see what I'm saying, it's just ain't just just bickering back and forth.
You know, got to your friends.
Look now, why I bet you see I bet you see them in a video or a picture something. Sometime later on in the.
Season, watchhot I mean I did. I did.
I mean, look, d Law been there for a minute, second round draft pick, played a number of years. There have a hell up a career in Dallas. I would have never thought he would leave because one thing Gerry does.
Jerry take care of his players, guys that he draft.
He believed in play it pating his homegrown talent, and the Law has been there for at least a decade, maybe longer, maybe longer, but he felt it was time.
For him to move on.
He wanted to be in a situation that he felt gave him a better opportunity. Excuse me to win. I'm sure the money what three years fifteen million per Yeah? I mean, I'm saying for your three years forty five million. If I'm not mistaken on Joe, don't quote me on that. I think I read something. I didn't know anything about this until like we just get ready to come on the show and ask ash Test text me asking me did I see this? I didn't because I was exhausted. I came in and went to bed.
I ain't gonna lie. I came went to bed bad.
Like he played eleventh season in Dallas, He's about to play his twelfth season.
Uh wow, I like it.
Matter of fact, with a schedule at do the Cowboys play the Seahawks this year? That's what I want to know.
That.
Now, that's what I'm talking about. Give me, give me, give me, make it a little bit more entertaining.
I would feel I would feel more entertaining if one was on offense and one was on defense. Okay, both of them to keep you in side, so they're never gonna come in contact. This kind of like being you talking track each other. You on offense, I'm on offense. But even if.
We played the same side of the ball and were going at it, I mean, now we gotta show up. Now, who's gonna be more productive, Who's gonna have the better game, Who's gonna get the most He's gonna get the most sacks, whatever it may be. How who's gonna impact the game more? Even if we do play the same position.
Don't matter, Because when I was on the Ravens, if I was talking trash to another offensive player, I already know my stats is gonna better than yours because you were gonna do jack ish not against that defense.
Yeah, oh no, so it didn't matter. It didn't matter. It didn't matter. What I did.
I might have one catch that was gonna be more and more than you got. That's what I do. That's what I know. And if you did to get a catch, you're gonna wish you had to call it because they were gonna put Hansle on your ass. So for me, yes, I love arguing with d Lineman. That's who I got into the most argument. Rest is soul uh uh taz Taz Kennidy rested Soul Chester mcglo. I stayed into it with them. I sang every every time we played. There's not one game that I didn't when Chat was with the Raiders or Kansas City that I didn't get into it with it. Chat was U Tas was the same way Sam Adams too. Sam and Sam became yeah, he can't one friend, but pa hey man and the lineman gets sore said They're like, man, you ain't got to block him. I said, but a yeah, they ain't got nothing to do with me. He talking crazy to me? What you think I'm gonna do? Let him talk crazy to me? And because y'all got a block him, don't take crazy back.
Man.
I wish I might put your big boy pants on buckle up forget you re run. But hey, those some great that was some great times on Joe. Uh, we're gonna try to get Tank on the show.
Uh.
He he's about the land and he's gonna try to join the show.
But if we don't get him.
Tonight, best believe we'll try to line him up for you guys on Sunday, because that's what we try to do. We try to you know obviously, oh you or I, but we do try to bring guests from time to time because I so I think sometimes you guys get tired of here and old Jo and I, and so we try to spice it up and your guests being a football, basketball, baseball, whatever the case may be, an actor, whatever, we try to make sure that we try to keep you updated and try to bring you people that you want to hear from. So hopefully we can get before we end the show, Tank will be able to join us live. So we'll we'll keep you posted as we find out more about that. Josh Allen will ask why do why he didn't look to break that Dak Prescott sixty million per year record conquerctor extension.
I know it's weird to.
Say, but what's five million more gonna do for my life right now that I can't already do.
I've lived a really good life. I got a house, got a car.
We're good. Do you like Josh saying that I love Oh Joe? We're not talking about it? Ocho?
What the hell can I? What can I.
Do with a hunt with three hundred and thirty million that I can't that I can do with four hundred million? So he said, I'm making fifty five What can I do with fifty five million?
But I can only do with sixty million? What once you get to a certain number, if.
Like, like Eli mustn't is the world's richest man.
Let's just say he worth three hundred billion, Oh Joe?
What can't? What can I do with one hundred billion? What can I do with two a fifty billion? What can I do with ten billion? That I absolutely need to do to have that?
Yeah?
So he's like, bro, fifty five sixty do you see him? I got a quarter of a billy guaranteed a quarter of bill Damn that you could. If you're gonna guarantee me a quarter of a billy, I'll make forty million if you're gonna guarantee a quarter of a billy out you. So I'm me personally not to cut you off. On Joe, I love that he said that. Tell me what you think, right, I mean, I like it. It makes sense, It makes me, it makes complete sense. Who would argue the fact. I'm just curious who would argue.
The fact outside of some of it?
And you know what happened when you get greedy? Right mhm?
It only it only makes sense.
Bigs eat well, hogs get slaughtered.
Hey, man, right down, man, you better stop well, you better stop playing. Better bring that listen, hold on, hold on, bring it to me slow now, Ye, gigs eat good, hogs get slaughtered. I don't know. I don't know what scenary I'm going to be able to use this in conversation or argument, But it's it's it's greed.
Greed. That's what it's talking about.
Greed.
But like it, like Josh said, Josh, like at the end of the day, and the thing is like what my homes did.
It's like, Okay, he got that big number, but and we knew my homes.
If if John, she's worth a quarter of a billy, how much is a guy that's been the five Super Bowls, won three two League MVPs, three, three Super Bowl MVPs.
What's that worth?
But he's like, you know what, at the end of the day, I need to be able to surround my surround myself because talent. I can't win this think by myself. No matter how great I am, I need people around me.
I love.
I mean, football players have to have that because there's a cap. Baseball players are always for the most part, going to get the most money because they keep trying to. They keep trying to push the the salaries through the ceiling, right, and so you see, ain't no, ain't no, what's his name, Soto, Juan Soto taking the five.
Hundred that's my homebody.
Yeah, taking five hundred million when there's somebody out there that got seven hundred million for it. You know, guys, they're not doing that because they're like, look, it's not my responsibility because there is no cap o joe. So it's like, hey, whatever the market will bear, whatever the team is willing to pay, that's where we're going. So if we got two three four guals of the team that's making two hundred million, two hundred and fifty million, so be it. Yeah, so absolutely be it. But I love I love what Josh said. And look, I'm not going to tell anybody what they should have shouldn't do.
Josh said, I'm good at fifty five.
I don't need sixty because anything that I wanted at fifty, if I need sixty to do it, I'm gonna be anyway.
Yes, sir, listen to me.
He kept it.
He kept it in the round. Also from a from a point of being paid where I'm still being paid with the best. But also we can struct some point so we can get to you to build around me so I can be able to contend to compete, not only get to the not only get to the AFC Championship, but also be able to compete and intend for a Super Bowl as well. So I'm gonna take fifty five. I'm not gonna take sixty because take Sissy, It's gonna take something some of the potentials off the table for me. Basically, what I can put around me the help improve my team.
I can't get a good player for five minutes.
You ain't gonna loafall me too much. Now, no, no, no, no no no no, you' oh show you can loadball me. Give me a quarter Billy guaranteed lowball ball you want to, you can give me five million a year. Hey, long as I know I got one of that guarantees, right.
Huh for sure?
Absolutely absolutely. Look, I don't look. I don't tell anybody what he or he or she should do. That's you, You making the best decision for you. I don't have a problem with Josh and his mentality. Now somebody like Chase, and Chase says, no, bro y'all made me wait, I need all that. If I'm not mistaken, Josh had four year left on the deal.
Yeah, but listen, you gotta understand they view the quarterback position a lot, a lot different than other positions, a lot different than you have to understand the Bangles as well. But the Bengals won't do You're not gonna bully it. You're not gonna bully them. They've shown that countless time. When car was upset, when Carson wanted, wanted, wanted wanted out, or he did he did, he fit and said I'm not coming back until I'm traded, whatever it may be. There have been other issues as well. Hell, I even I even tried to try being upset, but they showed me. Yeah, yeah, Okay, that ain't fit to work. So then they weren't gonna set a precedent even with Chase having two years left on a deal. Okay, we're gonna pay you early. That's not us, that's not what we do. We don't care who you are. And they've proven that and they've stood firm on that stance regards to who has been so I understand he gonna get his money this year though.
Yeah, but see herr is the thing, Oh Joe, you have to think a year or two in advance before you decide to hold out. So now, hey, if y'all, if I'm married, baby, Hey, no extravagant spending, We're gonna lock this thing down because I feel we might be in a protracted holdout. So now I gotta make sure everything is lined up because they know my money where it is. They know so no, they know I got thirty million, I'm sitting on thirty million. I'll sit out these first eight nine games. I'll come back because I gotta make sure I'm vested. I gotta make sure I'm not gonna give them a whole year. Y'all gonna do something y'all won't pay me, hey, I'm gonna go somewhere else and get paid then, cause y'all not finna do this.
Y'all told me last year, y'all gonna pay me.
I come out have one of the great season in NFL history, and now y'all talking about y'all not gonna pay me again. Oh that's not gonna happen. Oh no, that's not gonna happen. I'm sorry. Y'all paid everybody else. Y'all ain't got no problem paying everybody else. But now all of a sudden, y'all don't want to pay me. Oh give me me, give me me. I need all that. And then you hear o, Joe, they want a first round draft pick for Trey Henderson. Ain't nobody gonna give you that. Y'all want me to give y'all a first round draft pick and pay thirty WHOA?
You don't think someone is willing to give up the back because I know that you can't keep it.
I know you can't keep it.
So you're gonna play hard ball?
I sure am.
Let me ask you a question, though, Joe, why didn't somebody trade for Cooper cub because they knew the Rams gonna cut it? Oh?
Yeah, they want to take it on that salary.
So you want me to get you want me to give you a first round pick and paying thirty plus.
Right right right, right, right right right. No, okay, we listen, were on the same page the same thing.
Yeah for sure. So no, I don't have a problem with Josh.
But if somebody said no, I want all the money, I ain't got no problem with them, because anybody, anybody that goes through the fire, you deserve whatever you whatever you think you can get and whatever that team will pay. But it just goes to show you. But like you said, uh, they didn't have to do anything, but it just a he won the MVP, he's been a model citizen for all indication, he's been great in the community. I ain't got no problem. I have no problem with them paying it. I have no problem with him leaving a little money on the table. I ain't got no problem with it. That's that's that's an individual man. He could have left something for who. You ain't out here, taking you ain't out here, you ain't training, you ain't away from your family, and talking about what I should do. Nah, you should keep your mind clothes because I'm gonna do what I'm gonna do, what's in the best interest stuff Shannon's family.
This is what I don't like to you don't think I think. I think fans are confusing and saying, oh T Higgins making twenty six Oh that's that's enough, that's a lot. He should be well off with that. I mean that they need to stop comparing themselves and put them in in the in the in the shoes of athletes and and what they should or should not get or should have should because you're not out there, you're.
Not going to meetings, oh Jo. But they're looking at it. But a lot of times fans looking at it from their perspective. And let's just say, let's just say if I take a fan and I say, okay, you make one hundred and fifty thousand, right.
Of course, twenty six million is a lot of money to you.
But if you feel you make you should make three hundred thousand, and somebody and somebody and your boss say without a hundred and fifty dollars.
It's plenty of you. You're gonna look at him sideways. You can't.
You have to look at it from an athlete's perspective. And the prism and the arena that he or she is in. You can't just say, of course, if I'm making seventy five thousand dollars a year and somebody offered me one hundred a million dollars a year, yes, yeah, I bet we Oh Joe, we've been there. Yeah, you talking about the guy that you're talking about, a guy that made five dollars a day. So if I make it five dollars a day, if somebody's gonna pay me sixty thousand.
A year, you're damn right, I'm gonna take it right.
Or if I'm making I made one on one summer, I make three hundred and thirty seven dollars. Now you mean to tell me somebody's gonna give me two hundred thousand dollars?
Mm hm.
So yeah, when you look at it in your terms, that's an absorbered amount of money. But when you look at a guy and he's already making fifteen million and he's put up these type of numbers, no, that's not enough for him based on what he's done.
Yeah, And they don't go ahead.
They don't like that. The fan don't view it like that. And I wish they were able to separate the two. But and I I got a lot of Mango fans that got onto me simply about my issues with t being able to hit the open market because I'm understanding, understanding what he can get and what he's deserving, and why fans want them to mistake for their own selfish reasons. Correct, they wanted him to say, for their own selfish reason, just keeping the band together. And I'm looking at, you know, for long, long term, you know, based on what he's been able to do despite even even with injuries that he's had, because I understand how good he is once he hits the court. I mean hit the court, he hits the field, I know what you get. So I know he gonna get well well north of thirty thirty two thirty three if he his open market. That's that's all I'm saying. And people saying, why would you want to stay? He needs to stay? Twenty six five is enough? I mean, man, that's that's That's not what it's about.
That's not what it'sbout.
Listen as I love my Bangals, Live live from each ship, Sleep Die Bengals. But I also understand that he's deserving what he is. I understand how this works. You don't take home team discounts on your first deal, No, not the first one.
Maybe the second or the third one, but not because people look at the Hello, mayn Miles done got two deals? That you done got two max deals. Ain't taking no discount. Now, if you want to take a discount on the third one, that's his, that's his prerogative.
But if he doesn't, that's awful his prerogative.
I don't feel I should be obligated to help a billionaire stay a billionaire. Fair, don't faa. Don't look at it fail. We pay your fatory what you pay the owner. You helped the owner become a billionaire too, But you don't look at it like that. Y'all just look at the player because the likelihood you see the greater likelihood that you're gonna bump into the player in the grocery store, at the car wash, the mall, as opposed to the owner. So you feel a connection to that player. Like But while y'all talk about y'all play player satory, let me ask you a question who y'all ain't playing for them? Yachts that these owners that you see a Jerry Jones that are Jeffrey, Lord, that are are the blank who y'all ain't playing for them?
Is the ones, the one that continue, the ones that continue to show up.
Who y'all play with?
That by practice feeler at Jerry's world? Humhm, talk to a lot, So y'all, y'all don't have no problem paying for that.
But when the player asked.
For uh oh okay, yeah, okay, hey, y'all want to pay, y'all pay he lay. Look y'all paying y'all rather pay a billionaire and help him stay there? Because guess what, those owners are gonna be owners a lot long as these player are gonna be players.
Now you figure out, Now, you tell.
Me, gotta get as much as you can right over, it's hot.
What NFL player? What NFL player has played long as Jared Jones been the owner? What player has played long as mister Kraft has been the owner? I'm curious. So y'all been paying y'all been playing their salaries and those big homes, for those yachts and those mansions.
But now top, okay, we're cool, We're good O.
Joe cook in the Cool says he will not be getting married until he wins the Super Bowl. I don't think I'm ready to get married anytime soon. I try to win a Super Bowl, oh.
Joe, Right, But I like it. I mean, depending on where you are in life. I think that that's nearly We talked about night before last and maybe last night simply about the quarterbacks and how things come into fruition, how life changes for the better when you get married, when you have that structured discipline on your hip. A man that finds a wife find it a good thing for the quarterback situation for some reason, like life is just everything falls and falls in order, you know, Like it's like a domino effect receiver it. I'm not sure it affects you in either way. So I understand who in the course focus the want to focus on winning a championship, which he has a good chance of doing, especially with the addition of my guide the greatest route runner of all time outside of myself and DeVonta Adams, Right, Matthew Jafford at the Helm.

During his RAMS pressor intro, Jimmy Garoppolo took a shot at the Raiders for being a bad organization. I've been in a bad organization and I've seen how I can wear on you throughout the year, just talking to my brothers, my family didn't want to go through that again.
It is man lose. You're tough, Yeah, it is. It is, especially when you're in the wrong place. It's really nothing you can do. Get up, go to work, you know, put your chin strap pH one, bite down and work through it.
Especially especially if you've been in the winning organization. If all you've done is lo lose it, you don't notice light think about it.
He came from the Patriots. What did they do when he went to the party? Niners?

Grass, grass, you know what I'm saying. You see d K you donna put that ring on that right. So a man who finds the good thing finding it? Now, what's the type of season you have? Now?
Now, Now, what's the kind of season you have?
And we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about this three four months from now, and I'm gonna say, there it is again. There's another prime example of a young brother.
All Right, let me ask you this, So, Joe, Yeah, who's gonna throw the ball?
Uh, it don't matter, It don't matter. Him and his wife gonna see your prepp before the game, and the ball is just gonna end up in his hands. That's that's how God worked.
Nah, bro, it don't work like that.
Can I tell you're gonna throw the ball? Who I'm babe Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, I listen, Birdie already told me so. I didn't mean to be the one.
I'm not.
I'm not saying I'm Adam, Adam schefter. I'm not saying I'm sure. I'm just telling you who's gonna be throwing the ball. And you can you can, you can say you heard it here first, and when it does come out, they can give me credit or they don't have to. It really doesn't matter to me. You, Yeah, it don't matter to me. I'm just telling you what it's gonna be.
All Right, We're gonna see, Oh Joe, it's time. By a final savement of the evening. It's time for Q and A.
Hey man, yes, we listen, we've been needing a show too soon or night when I'm full of energy and we need to take advantage of me having this kind of energy. Let's stay on for another hour. What you say, I gotta work tomorrow. I gotta work tomorrow too. Shut here in New York.
Shell, the Pope says, Oh, Joe, is Steph going to send you the four thousand three point shot ball made uh to add to your bronze game ball collection? I mean, you got forty thousand, fifty thousand and step four thousand for three point shot ball.
Funny boy, Hey, that was funny Steph playing tonight?
Aint Yeah they played? Uh, they played Sacramento.
Hey, I should have shot I should have I should have shot him at text. If I shot him a text, he finally would have gave it to me. So I probably shoot him a text after afterwards and see if he if he would come up off of it, you know, listen, a milestone like that, a back caliber. I'm not sure if he'll let that ball go. Uh, but but we'll see what happens on the next show. Tony big Buck be cannon what's good? Uncan ocho much love?
Say?
Man, what do y'all think? Can my Falcons trade Cousins? We don't want nothing but a third or fourth round pick for him. It ain't the pig, it's not the conversation. It's that contract.
Yeah in deal, ain't nobody taking that? And listen, Kirk can just be Kirk and be a backup right now. He's not starting, no way, Michael Penn and Junior is a started now going forward.
But they want to trade him, get that contract off. Maybe I think it'll be interested. Let's see where Russ. Okay, Russ, we got three spots. You got Pittsburgh, you got Cleveland, you got the Jets. Now we believe those teams are gonna to select a quarterback.
Now.
Obviously Pittsburgh, I don't think Pittsburg would take a quarterback that high. But Cleveland probably would take a quarterback. Now they might not stupid. They might take Traviage Hunter and the rest in the sea. Maybe take care War, Maybe they take your door Sanders Giant.
Same thing. Do I take Cousins for a year.
Give these guys an opportunity to learn from a veteran presence how to go about it, how to study tape, how to be the guy face of a franchise? Is that what they do because maybe they don't get you know, but.
I'm not true. I'm not I'm not really trying to pick up that. Now.
If it's gonna be a situation where the Falcons is gonna play the ball of the contract, I'll take him on.
O Joe.
But he still got what he still got like fifty million, dude, he do fifty Yeah, that's tough. Yeah. And he's less mobile than he's ever been, and he's never been a mobile quarterback.
So imagine.
An Achilles Andrew ojo to an all Rady stationary quarterback. That's crazy, Tony, you might be stuck. Isaiah Lancaster, what's good on?
Going on?
Your two questions? Would Josh Allen go down the second greatest dual threat quarterback behind Lamar Jackson? And were your top five clutches NBA players all time? I mean, my boy, I mean we got to get throw Steve Young in there. Man, we be shut changing Steve.
Yeah.
See yeah, I think they I think a lot of people forget it because they're stuck in the present. They're there right now for Steve Young, hell Rendall Cunningham also, Yes, Reynold Cunningham is also in that same and you want to go back a little, a little further, Roger staback Man fran targeting.
You know.
But but Lamar Lamar, Lamar Jackson and Michael Vick, they said a different standard. They said a different standard election. I still can't as great as Lamar Jackson is, as great as Lamar Jackson is, regardless of what the numbers may say. That Michael Vicky experience when he was in Atlanta.
Yeah, you.
Know how people love Carnival in Brazil, or people love when Rodeo comes around, or people love in New Orleans love Mighty Rock. That's what Michael Vick in Atlanta was. It was an experience that you had to go and see, to appreciate and understand. Forget the numbers. I don't care what the numbers say. You had to beat it.
You had to be it. Yeah, you had to see it.
All time. Uh no ardor Jordan Kobe Bryn. I'll take bird Bird, lad Bird, and I'll take damn who else I'm gonna go with? Who had some big shots? I guess, I I mean, I'll guess it's because I just remember, I just remember the Olympics. I'm gonna take chef step.
I like it.
Dizey baby, oh one, oh Joe, Hey, Uh, it's a pleasure meeting you today. If Jared wris to go at route running, he made it look easy to love you guys. Also why you lie to old space saying he set the feel on fire because I didn't want to get no ass whipping somebody. If it's a choice between me and somebody else getting ass whipping, I'll put that through the tell. Jerry was technically sound. Was he the greatest route runner? No, he's the greatest receiver. Now we could we could put that to bed. Uh, but look o, Joe Davante, Adams, Tory Holt was a route runner. Jimmy Smith, Keena mccardo, my brother ran great routes man.
Just and show what I'm just trying to say. The greatest rock runner right now sitting on the other side is god damn camera. His name name Chad Jock from Liberty City. One of the few people who would come out the huddle line up of the line and bumper run would tell the corners of the route which most of them. You can have you about it and still be able to get open. He's one receiver that would talk trash the week before a game and still go out there execute.
You know how difficult it is.
The game of football in general at the highest level is very difficult. But to be out there, to be able to to go through media there on Wednesday and say what you're gonna do, then you have a team of eleven people trying to knock your head off, and still go out and execute what you said you're gonna do on Wednesday, and still pull it off on Sunday. Come on, man, stop playing that. Huh pure entertainment behind this, hold on, I ain't finished, aint finish. Let me, let me give Let me give you a piece off now. I am the only receiver in the history that wasn't paid for his receiving skills. But I was paid because of my feet. I let that sink here. They paid me for my feet. I ain't paid for nothing else.
Behind the gash, said old Joe.
You never got to explain why you think Ronaldo is to go over Messy And do you think Ronaldo can help Portugal win the World Cup next year?
Hey, listen, Messy is God given Messi mess Uh, God said, boom, that was Messy. Messi is an unbelievable talent. I loved him, I loved I love him to death, having a shape for him and in his in his craft. But Krishano had to had had to work and work his way to where he is now. I'm just I'm just saying, when you watch Messi like that is God. Obviously he had to work on his craft. But it's just God give And I don't know how to explain it to get you to understand it, but understanding where Chrishano came from and understanding how you had to hone and get better at his craft to become who he is today. And then just the comparison of the two greats, it's unnecessary because it's all based on preference. So who you like more? I further more the flashier version of Christano, and you know, just it suits me better based on my personality. I just like him better. I love Messi as well, And that takes nothing away from either one of their greatness. They're both great and that's it. And funny thing we talk about Messi, Crishano my favorite playing ball and Telly anyway, I just love. I love both of them and what they have, what they've done for the game, and and gonade for the game, laid on her life when they're done playing.
JA two one three, Hey, Ocho, honor women's history. Mother, what do you think your grandmother uh and mother Ocho would say to you today? What would you want to say to them?
That's a command. My grandmay would be.
My grandma would be happy, extremely happy. My grandma would be happy. My mama, she'll probably get on me. I just not do anything to have my mama back burn. It ain't got to be loan. Just cuss me out one more time.
That's it. Let me let me get one more of them, you sap sucker, you mother funk. I just give me oneman to let me give me that one more time. I still got her messages before she passed away. I showed you right, yeah, yeah, yeah message. I'm refused to erase it because it's a message of a whole paragraph.
I'm talking about long on here.
Just keep going on and on her letting me have it, and then there would be no better way to lose her than the way I know her best, letting me have it. I didn't even get a chance to say I love you. I don't even think it would have been right for her to pass someone with with with us exchanging those words. That's not how relationship was we She went away and transition how we've always been going at it. And that's that's that's one of the greatest memories I will ever have of her, especially those who have watched her and seen her in action on Marriage boot Camp Family Edition. Oh right, that's I love her to death.
I love her to death, my.
Man. It was yeah, she would like I mean, she would always come up behind me and she would be tapping me on my traps.
It's like live it's so big old boy here.
And if I don't know who he's gonna be this big, I got to throw him off the train, he said, so she would. She was extremely she was extremely proud of what I become, and she was proud that how obedient I stayed, how humble I stayed, and still to this day. Now everything I do is for my family. It ain't about me. I'm good. But when she was on her deathbed, I promised, I say, I got everything ready, and so my responsibility now is to make sure my mom, my sister, my brother, my three kids are good. That's all I care about now, That's it is. All I think about is to make sure I update my trust. I update that every couple of years. I want to make sure everything is put into the place, everything is understood. This goes here, this goes there, This goes here, this goes there. That's my responsibility. That's my sole purpose moving forward in life is to make sure those people that I love the most never have to worry about anything. So she would be proud that I've been able to. And that's been grandmother passed in what July twenty eleven, So that's been fourteen years and I've been able to to keep my promise.

Happy anniversary, Desmond and Candace. Ten more. Hopefully you have ten more in you ten more after that.
Wish you all the best, man, congratulations and happy anniversary, Sir Kate, My guys, what's up?
Two questions?
Is it fair to expects athletes to sacrifice everything for success? And what's the importance of film study, asking for a new AAU coach.
And all opinions. How successful you want to be?
Yep, the greater the goal, the greater the sacrifice must be to accomplish it.
That's all I'm gonna tell you.
The greater the goal, the greater the sacrifice must be in order to achieve said goal. If you're not willing to be if you're not willing to sacrifice, it is, in my estimation, you don't deserve the success that comes along with that sacrifice.
You do what you want to do.
That's an individual based decision. Some people perfectly fine with, Hey, I want to do this, I don't want to miss that. But you look at he Sometimes people say this is what I want to be. I want to be the best at this. Without sacrifice, you can't be the best at anything. It don't take a care. It takes more than a commitment. It takes a singular focus. Anybody that's been successful ask him about the sacrifice made to be successful.
Film study, HEAU coach.
I'm assuming AAU is basketball because you need to know where the team, what the team want to do, where they want to go on.
I mean, the film study wasn't important. Hey, we could just show up and play.
Is it?
Thres is the.
Reason why guys get stealed? Hey, I knew how many time you heard? I knew this play was coming. They like to run this at this time on the clock and God gets to steal same thing in football. Hey, I know in this formation they like this doubt, this area of the field, this down and distance, This is what they like to do. I was just hey, believe that that they were going to do this from this formation, and I read it and I did it. Film study, So film study is extremely important.
What do we got? You got any think the Cowboys are signing Miles Sanders? Yeah?
