Speaker 2: Time for our first segment of the night, and it's
Speaker 2: a NewsCap.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs is headed to Houston.
Speaker 2: The Texas Hey Texans traded a twenty twenty five second
Speaker 2: round pick to the Bills.
Speaker 4: In exchange.
Speaker 2: Buffalo is also sending Houston a twenty twenty four to
Speaker 2: sixth round pick and a twenty twenty five fifth round pick.
Speaker 4: Here's in the Buffalo.
Speaker 2: A reporter for Buffalo reported Buffalo's patients were thin with
Speaker 2: dig the evidence after his performance slip. The Bills were
Speaker 2: so motivated to move him that they took on the
Speaker 2: largest dead money cap hit in NFL history, which is
Speaker 2: thirty one million dollars. Signs between Signs of tension between
Speaker 2: Diggs and his quarterback were obvious when cameras caught Diggs
Speaker 2: screaming at Josh Allen doing the Bills playoff lost to
Speaker 2: the Bengals.
Speaker 4: Two season ago.
Speaker 2: That was followed by absol the mandatory mini camp, among
Speaker 2: other distractions. Earlier this week, Diggs posted someone tweeted, say,
Speaker 2: does Josh benefit from having a top tier receiver?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Is he'll send you to his success. No, Diggs tweeted,
Speaker 2: are you sure, Oh Joe?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Remember I remember what I said? Remember what I said?
Speaker 4: What did I say? Oh Joe?
Speaker 5: What would you? Would you tell me? Baby? Remind me
Speaker 5: refreshment memory.
Speaker 2: I'm okay, I said, Oh Joe said, Oho, the tolerance
Speaker 2: until they could replace you, I said. We we've seen
Speaker 2: teams who's a better receiver? Him or po? Digs of
Speaker 2: till who's a better receiver?
Speaker 5: I mean, TiO is one of the best of all time.
Speaker 4: And when people got tired of here, what do they do?
Speaker 4: Who's a better receiver? Him?
Speaker 2: Or random Moss? And when people got tired of moss behavior,
Speaker 2: what do they do? Oh Joe, who's a better receiver?
Speaker 4: Him?
Speaker 2: A A b ab That's what I was basically gonna
Speaker 2: looking at the history of great receivers at some point
Speaker 2: in time, them teams are them teams.
Speaker 4: That get tired of us?
Speaker 5: And nah, well let me, let me let me tell
Speaker 5: you something.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something now anytime as receivers, we
Speaker 1: are passionate, we're not quiet. We didn't abide by the
Speaker 1: standards in which the media or NFL analysts think we
Speaker 1: should live and conduct ourselves by. Where we're considered divas,
Speaker 1: we're we're considered prima Donna's because depending on who you are,
Speaker 1: the goalposts seemed to move depending on who you are.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have the complex the protection. Sometimes you have
Speaker 1: the protection for the complexion. And when you're when you're boisterous,
Speaker 1: you know you're passionate about it. But when it's when
Speaker 1: it when, it's depending on who it is, and it
Speaker 1: ain't passionate. It's you're angry, or you're a diva, or
Speaker 1: you're arguing with your quarterback. Is not it's it's weird
Speaker 1: to me is when you see someone in the middle
Speaker 1: of the game and exchange and exchanging I call it
Speaker 1: exchanging pleasantries between the quarterback and receiver. It happens all
Speaker 1: the time. It happened with Tom Brady and his receivers.
Speaker 1: There's there's footage of it happening all the time. Now
Speaker 1: we need different instances depending on who the receiver is
Speaker 1: at at hand or that's doing it, or the quarterback
Speaker 1: that's doing it is taken different, sometimes being disruptive and
Speaker 1: sometimes it's passionate. It all depends on who it is
Speaker 1: that's doing the hauling. If you if you hear what
Speaker 1: I'm saying now when it comes to Diggs, he's one
Speaker 1: that wears his emotion on the shoulders. Many of the
Speaker 1: great ones do myself, honestly what I say, but the sleeve,
Speaker 1: to see, the sleeve is on the shoulder. Hey, that's
Speaker 1: one thing I could do. I'll be sucking it up.
Speaker 5: Listen. But Diggs is very passionate.
Speaker 1: Digg is very passionate, as was Randy Moss, as is
Speaker 1: t O as was a b as was Daz Bryant.
Speaker 5: Do you do you notice?
Speaker 1: Do you notice that the lineage of a great of
Speaker 1: greatness that I'm naming as was me. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just it's just just the way it is. Sometimes I've
Speaker 1: seen Tom Brady erupt on the sidelines. Do they say
Speaker 1: he's angry?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: You know the first thing we love to see that
Speaker 1: passion from that player. Well no, wait, wait, let me finish,
Speaker 1: let me finish. I let you get your point, acros'n
Speaker 1: let's get your point.
Speaker 5: Across. But then when Dan's does it, or when Diggs
Speaker 5: does it, or Joah, even Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: Does it, it's seen as passionate. But when Ding does it,
Speaker 1: or I do it, or Daz Brian does it, oh,
Speaker 1: he's a problem. He's a cancer for the locker room.
Speaker 1: Look at what he's doing on the sideline. He's being disruptive.
Speaker 1: He's a cancer like just all type of listen. He
Speaker 1: is a player that wants to win. It's a player
Speaker 1: that wants to be involved in the in the game.
Speaker 1: It's a player that knows if he gets his touches,
Speaker 1: he can help the team win offensively.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: So I understand where's frustrations come from. You probably not
Speaker 1: gonna agree with me, But as a receiver myself that
Speaker 1: has been in situations later down later, later down the
Speaker 1: line in my career and understanding that I can affect
Speaker 1: the game. I can hit my head off the goal
Speaker 1: post from anywhere on the field, I can get it,
Speaker 1: I can get open all I need, all I need
Speaker 1: for you to do is give me an opportunity and.
Speaker 5: Call a play for me. Sometimes they're not gonna catch
Speaker 5: every play. No, I'm human.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna mess up, I'm gonna have drops,
Speaker 1: but just give me the opportunities and the chances that
Speaker 1: you would always give me if I was a younger player.
Speaker 1: Try not to weed me out of the system and
Speaker 1: then say, oh my production and drop, knowing damn where
Speaker 1: you're responsible for dropping in the goddamn first place.
Speaker 5: But I'm going ahead that you got got passion.
Speaker 2: Did you see Randy Moss display that passion in front
Speaker 2: of Tom Brady? Did he get in Tom Brady's face
Speaker 2: in Brady or talking about giving me the damn ball?
Speaker 4: Have you ever saw that? Yes? Or no?
Speaker 5: I can't recollect right now too.
Speaker 2: Did he ever display that in front of Steve Young
Speaker 2: or did he diet it in front of Jeff Garcia
Speaker 2: and other quarterbacks? Yes or no, no, sir, And you
Speaker 2: see what happened. They got tired of that. Ab could
Speaker 2: have did that to another quarterback. Steve's got tired of
Speaker 2: him doing it as big being so. In other words,
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is Josh Allen has started to garner
Speaker 2: the count of respect.
Speaker 4: Now. Whether or not he's the replayer of Tom Brady,
Speaker 4: we know he's not.
Speaker 2: We know he's not the player of repeate Manning and
Speaker 2: these other great quarterbacks, but in the Bill's eyes.
Speaker 4: And that's what you have to understand.
Speaker 2: See, that's why you can never That's why you can't
Speaker 2: look at somebody else and say, well, he makes that
Speaker 2: their or the way their organization treats him might be
Speaker 2: different the way the organization, this organization treats you. And
Speaker 2: so you have to be mindful of that. But I
Speaker 2: told you, I'm just looking from a distance. I'm a player,
Speaker 2: you're player. But I talked to a lot of general managers,
Speaker 2: and I talked to a lot of people that's in
Speaker 2: problem of position, and it was universal.
Speaker 4: It won't be long.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what else is universal?
Speaker 1: It was universal that I don't think he wanted to
Speaker 1: even be there this this season coming up, because he understood,
Speaker 1: he understood, well, I'm not I'm not I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about him not being there. I'm not talking about him
Speaker 1: not being there. The window of opportunity had closed. The
Speaker 1: window of opportunity that had closed. Listen, hold on, Yes,
Speaker 1: he was well, hold on, hold on when when he
Speaker 1: was in the house where they using him to the
Speaker 1: best of ability to make sure they can get past
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 5: I'm just asking, were they not he.
Speaker 4: Arrived in Buffalo.
Speaker 2: No receiver in NFL has more targets than one Stefan
Speaker 2: Diggs since he arrived in Buffalo. No wide receiver has
Speaker 2: more catchers than Stefan Diggs. So this notion that he
Speaker 2: wasn't used O Joe is not being trued by what
Speaker 2: you're perpetrate, perpetuation.
Speaker 5: Have a question, have a question? Did the Buffalo Bills
Speaker 5: know it? Have they have they? Have they been a
Speaker 5: Super Bowl? Have they gotten out outside of the AFC champions.
Speaker 4: Then went to the Champions game? Divisional run? As far
Speaker 4: as they don't. My point, it got him wrong the
Speaker 4: exactly he became Marl No, no, what he was worth?
Speaker 4: Thank you?
Speaker 5: No, that is wrong.
Speaker 1: That is wrong, and you're not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: replace that guy. Damn production, write a goddamn way and
Speaker 1: we will. We listen, and we're gonna address this situation
Speaker 1: again with them, the Buffalo Bills moving on from Stefan
Speaker 1: Diggs because I don't have I don't have the numbers
Speaker 1: in front of me. Wait, stay with me now, I
Speaker 1: I don't have the numbers in front of me right now.
Speaker 1: But the production between Stefan Diggs and Josh Allen four years, right, correct,
Speaker 1: four years they were together, right, four years. Immaculate production
Speaker 1: through those four years, immaculate, and nobody is going to
Speaker 1: be able to replace that production. You might get some
Speaker 1: of it back, you might get some of it back,
Speaker 1: But the important games where it mattered, they allowed team
Speaker 1: to dictate the way they can use him. They've allowed
Speaker 1: team to take him out of games. And then we
Speaker 1: come back on on on shows like US or people
Speaker 1: on TV will say, well, his production dip in some
Speaker 1: of the most important games. No, No, it absolutely did not. Yes,
Speaker 1: he had some of the most targets. Yes, he had
Speaker 1: some of those catches. And the god damn regular season
Speaker 1: when it mattered most, they allowed him to dictate whether
Speaker 1: he got the ball or not. And then at the
Speaker 1: end of the goddamn game, all of a sudden, he's
Speaker 1: supposed to make this historic, crazy, goddamn catch when he
Speaker 1: hasn't been used and he he didn't win. Goddamn cold
Speaker 1: for three quarters straight, playoff time five for forty, playoff
Speaker 1: time four for thirty two. What the goddamn eleven games
Speaker 1: stretch of having no more than fifty yards Like, come on, uh, come.
Speaker 4: On, I'm not arguing with it. I'm just trying to
Speaker 4: let me ask your question.
Speaker 2: You say Buffalo didn't make it to the AFC Championship
Speaker 2: Game and they didn't make it out of it with
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs on that team that didn't make it to
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship Game or to the super Bowl.
Speaker 4: Yes, so they can get to that far.
Speaker 2: They can get just as far without it as they
Speaker 2: did with it and save themselves thirty five men?
Speaker 4: See what you do? What you fail to realize?
Speaker 5: Oh well, that's a whole nother story. You heard me.
Speaker 5: I ain't even bring up the goddamn salary cap hit.
Speaker 2: I telling you because if somebody would eat, that's the
Speaker 2: largest non quarterback dead money in NFL history.
Speaker 4: So what does that? Jaill? Yo jo?
Speaker 1: You know why it's the largest? Because what does the
Speaker 1: cap do every year? What does the market do every year?
Speaker 1: But no, okay, have a how about this? What if
Speaker 1: what if Steph was an angel? He was an angel
Speaker 1: and he didn't say nothing. You think the goddamn Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills was still gonna take on that goddamn.
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh man, yes, you know they weren't gonna take on
Speaker 5: no thirty one, twenty eight million dollar cap hit.
Speaker 4: I told you what happen. I told you what was
Speaker 4: gonna happen. You ain't want to listen to me. Hold on,
Speaker 4: I listen.
Speaker 5: He didn't want to be there anyway.
Speaker 4: I told you that.
Speaker 5: I knew that.
Speaker 1: I understood that, but I tried to defend it because
Speaker 1: I felt there was no better situation from a quarterback
Speaker 1: perspective than being in Buffalo.
Speaker 5: And then all of a sudden, what did I say.
Speaker 1: I say, Man, if Stefan Diggs leave, If Stefan Diggs
Speaker 1: leave Buffalo, whenever I see Him'm gonna be eat his ass.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: I said it in a joking manner because I was
Speaker 1: thinking about situations that would be good for him outside
Speaker 1: of Buffalo.
Speaker 5: This motherfucking went to Houston.
Speaker 1: Well, goddamn, I run through the Goddamn I run through
Speaker 1: the streets of Houston, but ass naked if I was
Speaker 1: Stepan Diggs, because I'm going to an even better situation
Speaker 1: because now I got Nego Collins, I got Tangdal, I
Speaker 1: have a rookie quarterback that have one of the most
Speaker 1: historic seasons of all time, and That's where I'm going
Speaker 1: to play. Now that I think about it when I
Speaker 1: was in Buffalo. Hell, we get to the playoffs, what
Speaker 1: the team do? Oh, we're just gonna double digs? And
Speaker 1: what are the Buffalo What did the Buffalo Bills the
Speaker 1: officer of coordinator do? Or we're gonna just let them.
Speaker 1: We're gonna let We're gonna let y'all double him, and
Speaker 1: we're just gonna work everybody else instead of force feed
Speaker 1: the ball to put digs in positions to make plays.
Speaker 5: Now wait, wait, let me let me finish. Baby, I'm
Speaker 5: gonna le's you talk. Stay with me now.
Speaker 1: Now in Houston, you got Nico Collins, you got Tangdale,
Speaker 1: and you have Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 5: Who are they gonna double? Who are gonna double you?
Speaker 4: Not?
Speaker 5: Now? These are the coordinator You can have to pick
Speaker 5: your poison. Now you gotta keep you.
Speaker 4: Is gonna get a hundred and seventy targets with those
Speaker 4: other two guys there?
Speaker 5: I have a question.
Speaker 4: And answer it.
Speaker 5: Okay, let let me stay with me.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need a hund Why did he eat him
Speaker 1: in Buffalo? But that's the that's the way they fed him,
Speaker 1: that's the way they find him.
Speaker 5: But let me tell you this. Let me tell you
Speaker 5: what he can do. I bet he had. I bet
Speaker 5: he had about thirteen fourteen hundred yards. Can I tell you?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 5: Can I tell you?
Speaker 4: Why?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the two thousand and eight No? Wait,
Speaker 1: was it twenty twelve or two thousand and eight? What
Speaker 1: year was the cardon?
Speaker 5: What year did the Arizona Cardinals have three thousand yard receivers?
Speaker 4: Twenty?
Speaker 1: It was to that chat chat with a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: eight or twenty twelve. I'm I'm ma'am you God damn
Speaker 1: my memory bad.
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.
Speaker 2: I don't think you understand what he's going to do
Speaker 2: with that. I understand, but you don't understand that his
Speaker 2: targets are not going to be what they were.
Speaker 4: Don't you not?
Speaker 5: But he's so efficient?
Speaker 4: Why did he do what he did? Why did he
Speaker 4: do that? In Buffalo?
Speaker 1: He wants sufficient look at the numbers of the past
Speaker 1: four years in Buffalo.
Speaker 2: No, no, note, I'm talking about last year with hold
Speaker 2: On break even teammates Secure Khalil Shakir had more yards
Speaker 2: on thirty seven, fewer targets went from in the last
Speaker 2: seven games?
Speaker 4: Did you hold On?
Speaker 2: In the last seven games, Khalil Secure had more yards
Speaker 2: than one Stefan Diggs on thirty two fear of targets.
Speaker 2: So if he's gonna be that efficient.
Speaker 5: Now not We're not finna do that. We're not going
Speaker 5: to do that.
Speaker 1: And you know the plays that they're running for him,
Speaker 1: and then God damn shallows them, goddamned crosses and Shakur
Speaker 1: is running routes.
Speaker 5: He was running intermediate routes and d balls, so.
Speaker 4: Any of that, he didn't run none of those routes.
Speaker 1: Do you know they allowed Stefan dis to disappear the
Speaker 1: last eleven weeks of the season. They purposely so we
Speaker 1: could be having a discussion and saying that there's a
Speaker 1: diffenus production that allowed him to disappeared the last eleven
Speaker 1: weeks of the season.
Speaker 4: It's okay, And I put it to you like this,
Speaker 4: let me ask your question.
Speaker 5: I'm so if I took mcglackles off, that's how serious
Speaker 5: you know I am?
Speaker 2: If a man, if a man, let's say he has
Speaker 2: he's worth five billion dollars and he doesn't have a
Speaker 2: pre nup and he's willing to give his wife half.
Speaker 2: What does that tell you he's tired of that and
Speaker 2: he's willing to give up half of his network to
Speaker 2: move on. They're willing to take on a thirty one
Speaker 2: million dollar Daan cap hit for a quarterback.
Speaker 4: What does that tell you?
Speaker 5: Well, it tells me that the window of opportunity is
Speaker 5: closed and you might as well move on.
Speaker 4: He was in the house. He got burnt up in
Speaker 4: the house too.
Speaker 2: So in other words, in other words, to make a
Speaker 2: long story short, and I'm sorry I made I was
Speaker 2: long and made it longer than what it should have been.
Speaker 2: In they're saying, if we can only get to the okay,
Speaker 2: if we can only get to the visual round with
Speaker 2: Stefan digs, we can get that far without him?
Speaker 4: Oh oh, oh you can. You can't.
Speaker 1: So who the hellly gonna throw the Who the helly
Speaker 1: gonn throw the goddamn ball to to even get there?
Speaker 5: Let me hear this, Let me and me hear this.
Speaker 5: Who they gonna throw the ball to even get there?
Speaker 1: I'm just asking, I'm just asking because let me, let me,
Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me tell you something.
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen when there's no true number one receiver
Speaker 1: on the goddamn field and when you dropped back, it
Speaker 1: ain't no where to go with the goddamn ball. Let's
Speaker 1: be realistic. What happens when you don't have a prolific,
Speaker 1: a elite route runner that changes the dynamic of your offense.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a it's gonna be a cold day
Speaker 1: in hell in Buffalo when you realize that, I don't
Speaker 1: care who the fuck you get in the draft, no
Speaker 1: disrespecting nothing, young bulls coming out.
Speaker 2: And you step You said that in Minnesota with the
Speaker 2: draft pick they got from Buffalo. Guess who tell the
Speaker 2: people at home who they're selected in Minnesota? Justin Jefferson?
Speaker 2: You think you think you is there? Justsein Jefferson?
Speaker 5: Is there?
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson?
Speaker 2: Whoa?
Speaker 1: We talked about the Buffalo Bills that pick one, pick
Speaker 1: one eight? Is there somebody in this draft? Are you
Speaker 1: trying to equate somebody in the draft?
Speaker 4: Just heard reading up?
Speaker 5: Yeah, stay gonna be real quick. Marvin Harrison Junior.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be go on top five, Malik Neighbors, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be going top ten.
Speaker 4: This one more young boy?
Speaker 5: What's the young boys? Brian?
Speaker 1: Brian, you wouldn't be leven, You would not be eleven. Hey,
Speaker 1: they gonna be gone. Ain't gonna be no trading up.
Speaker 1: It ain't nobody here, ain't nobody else following the Buffalo
Speaker 1: bills to go hit them?
Speaker 5: Why not or trading that for them?
Speaker 1: Man, those are generational talents. That's gonna go the first
Speaker 1: three they out of their top ten, Them boys gone.
Speaker 2: What if they are going Buffalo willing to for what
Speaker 2: if buff Buffalo willing to mortgage to move up to
Speaker 2: get a TARB receiver. If that's what they choose to do, now,
Speaker 2: maybe they're they're content with Khalilshakir or Wandale Robinson to
Speaker 2: Lodjah more. I don't know, Oh Joe, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I have nothing, but I have nothing but respect for
Speaker 5: the rahieves out in Buffalo right here and right now.
Speaker 1: Nothing but respect. But there's a difference between Steph and
Speaker 1: everyone else you name that still in the roster. I'm sure.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're good. I haven't had the opportunity to
Speaker 1: sit down and Watchington boys. I haven't haven't, so I
Speaker 1: can't say anything bad about them. But I'm what we're
Speaker 1: not gonna do is we're not going to discredit the
Speaker 1: body of work and the skill set up step on this.
Speaker 5: Because you're just saying, you're just saying they can't put
Speaker 5: up with it. And where was he? He was there,
Speaker 5: they were using him, they.
Speaker 4: Were using him.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying, even great part of even great Randy
Speaker 2: Maul and t O those teams didn't replace that production.
Speaker 2: But they're failing your more problem than your word. What
Speaker 2: don't you get about that?
Speaker 4: Services?
Speaker 5: I mean, well, listen, if if, if you're not a problem,
Speaker 5: they're gonna get rid of any guy, damn way, because
Speaker 5: it's the way to be.
Speaker 1: Okay, listen, he is the motherfucking model citizen. He's a
Speaker 1: model citizen.
Speaker 4: What you're just saying, he's.
Speaker 5: A he's a model saying he's a model citizen.
Speaker 1: On and off the field, and you and who you
Speaker 1: think everybody want to be like that, saying no, it's
Speaker 1: the fact show you make it seem like what.
Speaker 5: Everybody everybody does not want to operate like that. That's
Speaker 5: not the way. Everybody's not cool. That works for Larry Fitzgerald,
Speaker 5: that doesn't work for Stefan.
Speaker 4: And it didn't for me. What you're trying to make
Speaker 4: it seems like it doesn't matter that y'all.
Speaker 2: If you become more problem than you worse, they'll get
Speaker 2: ridio ass at Google, Apple at.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's all. Listen, I understand that.
Speaker 1: Listen, your girl will get rid of you. Your girl
Speaker 1: would get rid of you the same concept, and not
Speaker 1: just football, it's.
Speaker 4: In life in jeral.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but i'm i'm, I'm, I'm trying to dive deeper
Speaker 1: into context. And even if you are getting rid of
Speaker 1: one of the one of the greatest, one of the best,
Speaker 1: especially in today's game. And I don't like the fact
Speaker 1: that we will nitpick at certain things that out of
Speaker 1: his control. But I can dive a little deeper and
Speaker 1: tell you why the numbers look the way they do.
Speaker 1: I can tell you why he's upset.
Speaker 5: I can tell you.
Speaker 1: I can tell you why he's lashing out and having
Speaker 1: those emotions where he's considered a diva or he's cancer
Speaker 1: ver So No, because he understands I can help us
Speaker 1: win these games. There's no reason why I should be
Speaker 1: in a playoff game and have four or three catches
Speaker 1: for forty yards and we're and we're really talking about like,
Speaker 1: come on, man, we're really trying to win.
Speaker 5: One more thing. I did have a question. I have
Speaker 5: a question for future. Stay with me, baby, chat. I
Speaker 5: have a question for you last year, last.
Speaker 1: Year, or just in general. Let's be realistic. Who is
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's best officer weapon?
Speaker 4: Josh Allen?
Speaker 1: H he has the ball in his hand. Outside of
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who is a Bill's best office a weapon?
Speaker 4: Okay, you can say Stefan Diggs like that, baby, what's.
Speaker 2: That? He was their best offensive weapon outside of Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: They got to the divisional round. The Buffalo Bill says,
Speaker 2: you know what, with more heart, with we can get
Speaker 2: that just grundleness, that dissatisfaction, that's unhappiness out of here
Speaker 2: and still get to the still get to the divisional round.
Speaker 5: Guess what you want to bet? You want to bet
Speaker 5: they don't. I go bet you they don't.
Speaker 2: But see, what you fail to realize is that the
Speaker 2: way take and businesses operate, they'll sacrifice a year or
Speaker 2: two to get that out of the office place or
Speaker 2: the locker room. You know that.
Speaker 5: You know that, say that sacrifice you talk about. Guess
Speaker 5: where the coach.
Speaker 1: Gonna be Guess anyway, Okay, I'm just saying this sacrifice
Speaker 1: we talk about, guess who's gonna suffer the coach. The
Speaker 1: coach is Gonnauff. Because he's gonna get fired because if
Speaker 1: they don't find anybody, and I'm telling you're not, ain't not,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be able to replace it. This ain't no,
Speaker 1: just no any old goddamn bride receiver. And I don't
Speaker 1: like the fact that we're talking about him like he's
Speaker 1: just any old goddamn bride receiver. Matter of fact, he's
Speaker 1: so goddamn good. That's why he's part of the goddamn
Speaker 1: discussion to open up bank cap. But he's going on
Speaker 1: to a he's going on to a better situation. And
Speaker 1: I want to talk about what he gonna do with
Speaker 1: goddamn Tank Dell nic.
Speaker 2: Remember, yes, sir, how many how many Super the last
Speaker 2: two Super Bowls? Who won the last two Super Bowls?
Speaker 2: The Chiefs their best receiver. What did he end up going?
Speaker 2: Because the chief says he's gonna be more of a
Speaker 2: problem because if we don't give it what he's asking for,
Speaker 2: he's gonna call the problem.
Speaker 4: We're better.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's easy to do that, though, when you have,
Speaker 1: when you have probably the greatest talent to be at
Speaker 1: the helm at the back position, if you don't have
Speaker 1: a Patrick Mahome, there's no way to overcome that.
Speaker 5: Are you saying, Josh, are you.
Speaker 4: Saying five quarterback?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: No, nobody is Patrick?
Speaker 5: So okay, I have a question. I have a question.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, with them getting rid of Stefan Diggs
Speaker 1: despite the production of not being able to replace the production,
Speaker 1: they're going to bring somebody else in and Josh Allen
Speaker 1: is going to be able to carry the team and
Speaker 1: be able to make up for that lost production.
Speaker 5: What Stefan did going which Mahomes has proven he can do.
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, O Joe, if you
Speaker 5: don't win, they don't end at the end of the day.
Speaker 5: Did they don't?
Speaker 4: End of what saying?
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, Ojo, if you don't win the title,
Speaker 2: what have you actually done? So having Stefan Diggs, that's
Speaker 2: what you're saying. You said that production, where is it
Speaker 2: gonna get that?
Speaker 4: So? What did that production get me to the divisional round? Okay?
Speaker 4: What did it get me after that? Ojo? Did it
Speaker 4: get me to an AFC Championship game? Did it get
Speaker 4: me to a super Bowl?
Speaker 2: So, in other words, you want me to stomach all
Speaker 2: that bull JYB that he's doing the behavior that he's
Speaker 2: just playing you want me to stomach that.
Speaker 1: Why we acting This has always been a part of
Speaker 1: football in general. Let mean, come on, man, and.
Speaker 4: Guess what what's also football?
Speaker 5: I told you it depends. It depends on who's doing it.
Speaker 5: Then it's behavior. Then it's a issue, then it's cancerous.
Speaker 4: It all depends on who's doing it.
Speaker 2: The only person that's exempt from the bad behavior is
Speaker 2: the quarterback. No other position is gonna be able to
Speaker 2: do that, Ojo, especially a wide receiver. You know that.
Speaker 4: You you make it seem like this is all of
Speaker 4: a sudden just happening.
Speaker 5: Go back.
Speaker 4: They're not gonna let you do it, Ojo. So and
Speaker 4: these guys are not gonna change it. These teams.
Speaker 2: If Fatima eat eighty five if Fatima eat eighty five million,
Speaker 2: what you think they'll do with thirty one million?
Speaker 4: What you think they ain't fifty million with Rogers? What
Speaker 4: you think they'll do? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right, I understand it. It's the nature of the business.
Speaker 1: It's the nature of the beast. It has always been
Speaker 1: that way. They want you to be robots. Then when
Speaker 1: these model sitsons show no show show hey, show no passion,
Speaker 1: so show no emotion, just sit on the sideline.
Speaker 5: But things don't go wrong.
Speaker 4: Just stare out.
Speaker 1: That's not that that's that's not, that's that's not that's
Speaker 1: not the way we operate. That's not the way we
Speaker 1: are when it comes to playing the game of football.
Speaker 1: The game of football is a game of emotion and
Speaker 1: passion and highs and lows, peaks and valleys.
Speaker 5: And that's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: And depending on who you are, especially receivers that happen
Speaker 1: to wear their emotions on their sleeve. Did I say
Speaker 1: it right the time? We get that label, and I understand.
Speaker 1: And if you played the game which you have, you
Speaker 1: understand why he's feeling that way. You understand why he
Speaker 1: has those outbursts sometimes. But we tend to overlook that
Speaker 1: purposely and ask your question. Wait a minute, give me
Speaker 1: a minute so I can answer. Let me wipe my
Speaker 1: head because I'm I'm in his sweat.
Speaker 4: I like this ship.
Speaker 5: I can talk about this bit here for for goddamn hour.
Speaker 4: I like it.
Speaker 2: So read out from your house. You go out there
Speaker 2: and people say, hey, l Joe. On Monday, Tuesdays and Fridays.
Speaker 2: The cops out there, yes, sir, So make sure you
Speaker 2: drive within the speed limit. You know the cops out
Speaker 2: there Monday, Tuesdays and Fridays on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Speaker 2: On Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, how are you going to
Speaker 2: drive on that street?
Speaker 5: You sixteen an hour?
Speaker 2: So if receivers know that that behavior is not going
Speaker 2: to be tolerated and it's going to bed and look
Speaker 2: that differently than the quarterback, why exhibit that behavior?
Speaker 5: So basically, what you're telling me is because they have
Speaker 5: a certain set of rules in place, we need you
Speaker 5: to suppress who you actually are. The police may get
Speaker 5: that money, go ahead and make two hundred million dollars,
Speaker 5: and then you act the food say I hated every
Speaker 5: man of the being where I was, But you know what,
Speaker 5: I ain't sacrificing none of this money.
Speaker 4: I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 5: Hey, I got another choice for you. Chat. Stay with me,
Speaker 5: right you ready?
Speaker 1: The NFL, during the tenure that I played, had a
Speaker 1: set of rules, and if you break those rules, they
Speaker 1: take your money and they find you. Right, did I
Speaker 1: ever stop getting fined?
Speaker 4: You didn't care about your finance?
Speaker 5: Wait, listen to me.
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you, Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I'm one of the best,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to financial when it comes to
Speaker 1: save the money. You know why I never stopped getting
Speaker 1: fined because the NFL is all about control. The NFL
Speaker 1: feels as players, how do we keep these motherfuckers in line?
Speaker 1: You take what your You take what they value most,
Speaker 1: the money. I didn't care about the money. I was
Speaker 1: gonna make it. I was gonna make it regardless. I'm
Speaker 1: playing to stay with me, not real quick. I'm going
Speaker 1: to play the game of football the way I feel
Speaker 1: it should be played and the way I played it
Speaker 1: as a little kid coming out of the Liberty City,
Speaker 1: the Optimists. I'm gonna come out here and smile. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna talk my ship, and when I get in the
Speaker 1: end zone, I'm gonna celebrate. I'm not gonna act like
Speaker 1: I've been there before, because I have. I worked my
Speaker 1: ass off to get to this point out in practice,
Speaker 1: goddamn all, goddamn week, and if I get in this
Speaker 1: damn in zone, I'm gonna act like I've never been
Speaker 1: there before because I haven't been in the NFL again.
Speaker 1: They take your money because it's the only way they
Speaker 1: think they can control us. Because if they think that's
Speaker 1: what they think we value most most of us do well, Goddamn,
Speaker 1: I gotta behave because if I don't behave, they're gonna
Speaker 1: take my money. That's the whip. That's how they keep
Speaker 1: niggas in oh ship. I'm sorry, my bad, my bad,
Speaker 1: my bad, God, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking.
Speaker 1: Joe, but I'm trying to say right. That's that's why
Speaker 1: I say to keep you in line. We know if
Speaker 1: you take it, if we if we take his money,
Speaker 1: we can get into bablet.
Speaker 2: Ask your question, if my bad Seriously, seriously, if the
Speaker 2: NFL had deemed your your behavior conduct detrimental to the NFL,
Speaker 2: it would have been more than a fine, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: You and y ain't conduct detrimental and your team didn't
Speaker 2: do what you were doing as conduct detrimental. As a
Speaker 2: matter of fact, they said, you know what, oh yo,
Speaker 2: the model teammate, he ain't causing no problem there In lives,
Speaker 2: the Difference team has started to say this is becoming
Speaker 2: a distraction. This is starting to drive a wedge in
Speaker 2: between the team because you got some guys that were
Speaker 2: teams step and there's some guys that are like, man,
Speaker 2: this behavior is not conducive for us winning.
Speaker 5: So now, and you know what another I like that.
Speaker 4: I like that you did that.
Speaker 1: But you know what else it does is if he
Speaker 1: was a model citism, model citizen, they would have found
Speaker 1: any goddamn way to make sure they can't blame her
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. So the fact that he was one
Speaker 1: that showed his emotion while he was playing it made
Speaker 1: him an easy target to take the attention off of
Speaker 1: the actual problems on why they were failing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's what That's what it does.
Speaker 1: You know, No, we focusing on digs and digs showing
Speaker 1: the emotion while playing the game and not really addressing
Speaker 1: addressing the real issue, the elephant in the room on
Speaker 1: why they're not getting to the AFT champion or making
Speaker 1: it to the Super Bowls. That wouldn't have opportunity to
Speaker 1: close it. And it has nothing to do with Stefan
Speaker 1: goddamn pigs. But he because if he's there, because he's
Speaker 1: the easy he's an easy he's there. Why does he
Speaker 1: bear any culpability with the tis with the transgression he does?
Speaker 5: He does, but he's an easy target because he is
Speaker 5: the face, he is the offense.
Speaker 1: He's the one that they're saying it disgruntle and showing
Speaker 1: emotion on the sideline. But let's address all the other
Speaker 1: issues on why they're not making it, because that has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Stefon Diggs in general. That's a
Speaker 1: deeper conversation that I really can't dig into it. We're
Speaker 1: not we're not all the facts right there.
Speaker 2: But it's not like he's bought like in these playoff
Speaker 2: games that he's bawling out that he's going for a
Speaker 2: buck ninety and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you just said that. I'm glad you just
Speaker 1: said that. The buck ninety, a buck ninety with three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: You know, with a buck ninety with three toestdowns, the
Speaker 1: opportunities have to be they have to come in both,
Speaker 1: they have to come in volume because they're already When
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills break the huddle, the defense makes their
Speaker 1: set on wherever Stefan Digg's lines up. That's how they
Speaker 1: call it defensive play. Hey, fourteen is left, fourteen in
Speaker 1: the slot.
Speaker 4: What may help? What may help me?
Speaker 1: We've finish, man, come on now, and I think what
Speaker 1: we could do, but we don't have time to And
Speaker 1: if I had the numbers, in front of me. I
Speaker 1: could really really break it down game by game, as
Speaker 1: you can see how we did in the in the
Speaker 1: in the regular season and the last eleven weeks of
Speaker 1: the season, and how it carried over into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: and how the numbers suffered drastically, and how they allowed
Speaker 1: team to take him away and instead of finding ways
Speaker 1: the forest, feeding the ball and finding ways to put
Speaker 1: him in position to make plays to kind of change
Speaker 1: the outcome of the game.
Speaker 5: No, they didn't do that.
Speaker 4: We didn't do that. They didn't do that.
Speaker 2: Player can allow themselves to be taken away by Mo
Speaker 2: bempouding on the field. Let's here with DeShawn Jackson. Think
Speaker 2: he knows why Stefan Diggs left Buffalo.
Speaker 6: D jack It is deeper, like you said, It's not
Speaker 6: just him not being a football player being able to
Speaker 6: you know, get the statistics.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: It's something deeper and we don't.
Speaker 4: I don't really I can't see.
Speaker 6: Hear him tell you I know, but I just know
Speaker 6: as far as quarterback receiver, they really didn't have. I
Speaker 6: wouldn't say the wouldn't eye to eye, but it was
Speaker 6: just more of him wanting to win. I think, you
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying in there, and I don't feel
Speaker 6: like he thought they was going to be able to
Speaker 6: beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 5: That's AFC East. I'm not the FC East.
Speaker 4: The AFC Conference is the Chiefs.
Speaker 6: And I feel like I think he would rather go
Speaker 6: with the young quarterback and you know, a new team
Speaker 6: that's driving, I mean, it's thriving, instead of staying with
Speaker 6: the Bills where they every year getting beat by the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: He didn't think they could beat the Chiefs. That's a
Speaker 1: statement right there.
Speaker 6: I mean that's now We've seen it the year after
Speaker 6: year after year. I mean, what is it about four,
Speaker 6: four or five years?
Speaker 4: It's been tough. They could be they couldn't sincinn that either.
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, because they got Joe Burrow what talking.
Speaker 4: So let me ask your question.
Speaker 2: Was he there when they lost to Joe Shisty in
Speaker 2: Cincinnati with Stefan dig did he play?
Speaker 5: Yes, Listen, I don't that's not fair. Don't don't do
Speaker 5: me like that.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I really don't have numbers in front of me to
Speaker 1: really to really argue back and fight tooth and nail
Speaker 1: on every little thing. But again with L Homie, what
Speaker 1: D Jack said with L hommie on the hood. I
Speaker 1: love Jack and he has an understanding. I don't think
Speaker 1: he really wanted to say it like he like he
Speaker 1: wanted to based on but I say it for him.
Speaker 5: I'll say it for him. He's going to a better situation,
Speaker 5: Josh Allen. It's great.
Speaker 1: As great as he is, he's going to have to
Speaker 1: show he's as good as we think he is without
Speaker 1: that elite talent around him. He's gonna have to show
Speaker 1: it now. Because again, when you don't have a true
Speaker 1: number one, things get very difficult. When you don't have
Speaker 1: a guy that you can count on. Come hell of
Speaker 1: high water where I can I can put a blindfold
Speaker 1: on my quarterback and snap the ball and know.
Speaker 5: I can count on this dude nine times out of
Speaker 5: ten to get over, to get over.
Speaker 2: So he don't want to grind it out. He want
Speaker 2: to go jump to a ready mate that's neither here
Speaker 2: or there. But that's okay, Hey, that.
Speaker 5: A ready made team, ready mate.
Speaker 2: Took the playoff last year. This Houston take to go
Speaker 2: to the playoff fast year with a ricket quarterback.
Speaker 1: So are you saying that's a ready may team. That's
Speaker 1: a ready made team. Of the fact that they got
Speaker 1: lucky and got one of the best quarterback. Don't you
Speaker 1: do that the playoffs last year in the city Chiefs
Speaker 1: is a ready made team make the playoffs?
Speaker 4: Did they win ten wins last year?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: Or no?
Speaker 5: Hold on the Bills made the playoffs last year?
Speaker 1: My point, So you so are the Bills that are
Speaker 1: a ready made team to then, right, Yes, that's a team.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, listen, we gonna we don't see. We gonna see.
Speaker 4: Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We now watch how Josh Allen numbers struggle with our
Speaker 1: Stephan Diggs. And we're gonna come back to this issue
Speaker 1: when we do a nightcap chat, y'all. Remember when the
Speaker 1: season comes and we're gonna bring it up. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say'm gona look at it. I'nna say what I told you.
Speaker 2: This. This is thirteen. He wanted, he wanted, he wanted.
Speaker 2: He wanted out of Minnesota. Listen to Ojo. He wanted
Speaker 2: out of Minnesota. He wasn't getting the target. He felt
Speaker 2: he was the best. Okay, they're bliged it. He went
Speaker 2: to Buffalo, he got he was a most targets, most
Speaker 2: catches I think third or fourth and yards, yes, and
Speaker 2: yards he wasn't happy at some point in time. It's
Speaker 2: not the destination, it's not it's not it's not Bali,
Speaker 2: it's not the mall De's it's not Fantarini. It's the
Speaker 2: visitor that's going to visit these places that's unhappy.
Speaker 5: Well I don't okay, okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute.
Speaker 1: The person visiting when he goes to to Bali, when
Speaker 1: he goes to the Bahamas, when he goes to the
Speaker 1: mall these he wants to have a great experience. And
Speaker 1: while he's there on that experience, he's going to do
Speaker 1: all he can to make sure that he gets that
Speaker 1: experience with the amenities that are at his disposal. So
Speaker 1: when he's doing his job, because the numbers reflect just that.
Speaker 1: At Minnesota, the numbers reflect just that. At Buffalo, well, goddamn,
Speaker 1: I'm not getting the goddamned results. I won't we'll sh
Speaker 1: I really don't have no guy there for them. Will
Speaker 1: send me, send me the funk home.
Speaker 2: So he's the only way that didn't get the results
Speaker 2: he wanted. Everybody else got the results they wanted in
Speaker 2: Buffalo except him.
Speaker 1: No, but I mean, but everybody else ain't getting shipped
Speaker 1: on everybody else what everybody else trying to miss some
Speaker 1: aggressive on the internet, which I told you. Listen, babe,
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, Wait a minute, let's let's let's
Speaker 1: read into this. You got to understand he's in a
Speaker 1: better pross. He's in a better place than he finished.
Speaker 2: You and I we discussed you and I have been
Speaker 2: discussing this for like thirty five minutes, and all I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Is this is that hold on, We've been talking for
Speaker 5: thirty five.
Speaker 2: Minutes probably, But all I'm saying is this is that
Speaker 2: I told you this day was coming sooner rather than later.
Speaker 4: You did? You did?
Speaker 5: You did?
Speaker 1: You did? And I kind of tried to argue the
Speaker 1: fact because I loved Steph, I loved Josh Allen, and
Speaker 1: I understand that little dynamic and what they have was great.
Speaker 1: And I also understood the window opportunity was closing, especially
Speaker 1: how they allowed teams to take him away when it
Speaker 1: matters most. I just it just I just didn't want
Speaker 1: to say I just didn't want.
Speaker 4: To agree with you.
Speaker 5: So I was arguing just to argue the fact.
Speaker 4: The wife just to be a wife.
Speaker 2: To peed back to day, Pat McAfee and talked about
Speaker 2: the current rules in the NFL and compared to the rules.
Speaker 4: During his career. Freenie, I'd retired at the perfect time,
Speaker 4: do you agree.
Speaker 5: I mean, Dwight Freeney said it. Tom Brady's come out
Speaker 5: and said it.
Speaker 1: Many other players have come out and said it about
Speaker 1: the way the game is changed in general, and everyone
Speaker 1: has addressed their sentiments on the direction of the game
Speaker 1: to this point.
Speaker 5: Again, the NFL is doing it. What's the key word
Speaker 5: that they say is for what? Safety?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, the keyword is for safety, but there are other
Speaker 1: little things that they continue to put in the continue
Speaker 1: generate revenue. Yeah, like the continue to continue to drive
Speaker 1: and generate revenue. Because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: the NFL will always be about their money, about their money,
Speaker 1: and you you it come, there's no other way around it. Always,
Speaker 1: even though they will lead and preach about safety as
Speaker 1: much as they do and try to change the game
Speaker 1: for the betterment of the players in long term NFL.
Speaker 2: NFL don't right checks. They receive checks. So let me
Speaker 2: tell you how much they care about safety. You know,
Speaker 2: Christmas falls on Wednesday this year. Guess what they're gonna have.
Speaker 2: They have on third y'alls, Old Joe, that's what they're
Speaker 2: gonna have on Friday.
Speaker 4: O Joe.
Speaker 5: Well, if they don't get me from wrong now, football.
Speaker 2: Yes, So you mean to tell me the team's gonna play,
Speaker 2: A team's gonna play unless you got a bye week.
Speaker 2: So you mean to tell me a team gonna play
Speaker 2: Sunday and then turn right around and play again on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: Day. But I ain't saying that we do, oh George,
Speaker 4: for safety.
Speaker 5: It's for safety, you got it.
Speaker 1: Listen, you got to be able to see through the
Speaker 1: smoking mirrors and understand what it is at the end
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 5: You got to be able to see through it.
Speaker 2: I mean it's great for us on Jo cause we
Speaker 2: got you know, we're gonna be all We're gonna be
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. We were gonna
Speaker 2: be rolling. Were rolling six days.
Speaker 4: Straight, right right.
Speaker 2: But I'm just I'm just saying I think the thing
Speaker 2: is that if people really sat down, like I understand. Look,
Speaker 2: there are certain elements of the game that they try
Speaker 2: to take out. I understand the horse calling, and I
Speaker 2: understand the help drop, and I understand a lot of things,
Speaker 2: O Joe. But you can't say safety is our number
Speaker 2: one concern. And then you add a game, and then
Speaker 2: you look and they said, well, in twenty thirty, we're
Speaker 2: looking to go to eighteen game schedule. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: damn there, you're gonna be ay, oh joe. Pretty soon
Speaker 2: they're gonna be playing damn near the march. And then
Speaker 2: guess what teams A lot of teams have already started OTAs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you know that's right, that's right, right, right,
Speaker 1: I mean off season program, off season program.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they start, they start, and.
Speaker 4: You push everything back. Let's just say two weeks.
Speaker 2: The super Bowl this year was what February eleventh, February twelfth,
Speaker 2: pushing back two weeks. Now, the Combine is probably the
Speaker 2: second third week. And then you got what yeah, so
Speaker 2: high safe. You really tried to make it.
Speaker 5: So we agree that all smoking mirrors.
Speaker 2: Rushi Rice with driving the Lamborghini involved in the crash.
Speaker 2: A lawyer says Rushi Rice with driving the Lamborghini involved
Speaker 2: in the multi crash in northeast Dallas on Saturday night.
Speaker 4: His lawyer said in a Thursday news conference.
Speaker 2: Police said that the drivers of the Lamborghini and a
Speaker 2: Corvette was feeding and lost control at the time of
Speaker 2: the crash. The Lamborghini hitd a set of media wall,
Speaker 2: causing the chain reaction collision involving four of the vehicles.
Speaker 2: The driver of the Lamborghini and Corvette ran from the scene.
Speaker 2: Two of the other drivers involved in the crash were
Speaker 2: treated at the scene for minor injuries, and two occuments
Speaker 2: of another vehicle was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Speaker 2: On Wednesday, Rice reclaimed full responsibility for his part in
Speaker 2: the crash and an Instagram story, nobody cares about anybody
Speaker 2: else that was driving the Corvette because they're not in
Speaker 2: the NFL and they're not even not rachive. Right today,
Speaker 2: I met with the Dallas PD investigators regarding a Saturday's accident.
Speaker 2: I take full reson responsibility for my part in the
Speaker 2: matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities.
Speaker 2: I sincerely apologize that everyone impacted in Saturday's accident.
Speaker 4: Yeah they gonna get it.
Speaker 2: Yeah they're what two driving too fast, cut conditions and
Speaker 2: reckless driving, but failing to render aid.
Speaker 4: He left the scene.
Speaker 5: Oh Joe, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. You know I'm not
Speaker 5: good when it comes to law.
Speaker 1: Especially law, laws of this matter as far as leaving
Speaker 1: the scene of an accident or rendering aid, do you
Speaker 1: do you understand the punishment for one?
Speaker 5: For one, I think Rashid Rice needed something like this.
Speaker 1: He needed something like this, not about getting in trouble
Speaker 1: or to understand the people that he's surrounding himself with.
Speaker 1: To understand the people that he surrounded himself with. They
Speaker 1: mean him no good to even allow him to be
Speaker 1: doing the things that he was doing. Again, if you
Speaker 1: have a group of people, somebody got to be the brains.
Speaker 1: Somebody got to be the brains for him. If he's
Speaker 1: not gonna be thinking straight, you gotta somebody has to.
Speaker 5: Keep order.
Speaker 1: Somebody has to keep that discipline in the entourage that
Speaker 1: you got. Everybody can't be a dummy. Everybody can't. Somebody
Speaker 1: gotta be the brains of the group. Hey, yo, man, listen, man,
Speaker 1: if we're going wherever we're going, we can't be out
Speaker 1: here racing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2: Isn't doing that failing to end the raiding, that speeding.
Speaker 4: Too fast, fuckingditions, reckless driving? Did I mean?
Speaker 2: I don't Probably they left the scene. Who knows that
Speaker 2: they were intoxicated? Because now you bring a whole new
Speaker 2: charge into the mix. Luckily, luckily no one was serious injury,
Speaker 2: or that's what they're saying now once they find out
Speaker 2: who it was, all of.
Speaker 4: A sudden, they're gonna miss some time. But you know
Speaker 4: how that works, O Joe.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, most definitely, most definitely.
Speaker 1: Again, but on the back end, sometimes need to make
Speaker 1: this mistake in life when you're young, because it takes
Speaker 1: it takes situations of moments like this to sit your
Speaker 1: ass down and understand and reflect. Sometimes you don't get
Speaker 1: a second chance. At some point. He's going to after
Speaker 1: he obviously the NFL is probably gonna come down.
Speaker 2: He'll miss he'll miss a minimum of two games, probably
Speaker 2: somewhere between the two to three maybe four of the
Speaker 2: high end.
Speaker 4: Probably peel it get down a two.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but but but but still, sometimes you need
Speaker 1: stuff like this to real your to real your ass
Speaker 1: back in. But again, when you hide, when you're on
Speaker 1: your high horse, when you're making a little money, you
Speaker 1: got your friends, you're coming off a super Bowl wine,
Speaker 1: you feel invincible, you feel invincible. And this this, this
Speaker 1: is this is God's way of saying, all right now,
Speaker 1: now you take all this ship for granted if you
Speaker 1: want to and be real your ass back in and
Speaker 1: sit you down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and he'll sit you. He'll sit you down every time,
Speaker 5: every time.
Speaker 1: Just the just the humble you real quick and then
Speaker 1: check the people around you, check the people around you.
Speaker 5: Because somebody got to be the brains.
Speaker 4: Ojo.
Speaker 5: He's the golden right.
Speaker 1: If you got an entourage, if you if you got
Speaker 1: and you know the ticket is with you, Come on, man,
Speaker 1: you don't even let the golden ticket move like you
Speaker 1: know something, you thinking, you thinking long.
Speaker 4: Term, but you know sometimes, Ojo. You know how we are?
Speaker 4: O yo?
Speaker 2: Man, this is my money. Sit you hey, you can
Speaker 2: leave if you want to. You'll like what I'm doing. Oho,
Speaker 2: A couple now you know how we are?
Speaker 4: O yo.
Speaker 5: We don't don't never.
Speaker 1: And if you got if you got a camp, fully yes, men,
Speaker 1: they don't need to be runing in, but you got
Speaker 1: to have somebody that that can be able to tell
Speaker 1: you whether you got money or not.
Speaker 5: Man, listen, we ain't doing this a matter of fact,
Speaker 5: you ain't doing that.
Speaker 4: But let me ask you this, Ojo.
Speaker 2: What's the likelihood of you doing something in a public
Speaker 2: setting and nobody's captured either? If CCTV, maybe the stores
Speaker 2: have it, maybe there's cameras around the city or somebody
Speaker 2: with their camera phone. Because people got them coming somehow.
Speaker 2: They showed up on that. They had people walking away
Speaker 2: from the scene, so it had to be So, what's
Speaker 2: the likelihood of you doing something, especially in public?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is today's time. Their cameras everywhere.
Speaker 1: Cameras are everywhere, so you ain't getting away with nothing.
Speaker 4: No face, no case, no name, no blame. Yeah. I
Speaker 4: saw his face and we knew his day. So that's
Speaker 4: it it is. You're like, you know, O Joe.
Speaker 2: It's very unfortunate, and thankfully he needs to thank the
Speaker 2: lucky stars above and to the man above that nobody
Speaker 2: was seriously injured because we just saw we just saw
Speaker 2: an incident a couple of days, a couple of years before.
Speaker 4: He got there with Ady Reed's son was drinking and
Speaker 4: ended up this.
Speaker 2: Physically. She she's gonna be gonna need her parents assistance
Speaker 2: for the rest of her life.
Speaker 4: He The story that was plastered all across was Henry Ruggs,
Speaker 4: Oh Joe.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, some things, Oh Joe, Like I said, some
Speaker 2: things you don't think And maybe because it was so far.
Speaker 4: I don't know Henry Roads, Man, I don't. I wasn't
Speaker 4: here when and when Andy's.
Speaker 2: Son got did that, did did what he did, So
Speaker 2: maybe it's not it wasn't close enough for him. But bro,
Speaker 2: at this point in time, man, come on, guys, just
Speaker 2: be just You're gonna make some mistakes.
Speaker 4: But man, I just tried, and I knock on what.
Speaker 2: I'm very fortunate, like I said, once I did that,
Speaker 2: that the mistake doesn't cost someone or you your life.
Speaker 2: That's a that's a terrible that's a terrible. Imagine you
Speaker 2: gotta bear that for the rest of your life, that
Speaker 2: your carelessness, your recklessness, your negligence.
Speaker 4: Because how do you go how do you say sorry
Speaker 4: to somebody? Oh Joe, how do you make that?
Speaker 2: Just imagine somebody having to give your mom and father
Speaker 2: that your family, that mess, that your son or daughter
Speaker 2: isn't coming home tonight and never coming back. Now, imagine
Speaker 2: you are the responsible party that caused somebody to have
Speaker 2: to go tell somebody else family and I'm coming home,
Speaker 2: oh Jo. That's how that's that's how I think. How
Speaker 2: can I make sure I get home? Because I don't
Speaker 2: want nobody to deliver that news. To my family and
Speaker 2: my kids. And I damn sure we don't want to
Speaker 2: be the responsible party to have to somebody have to
Speaker 2: deliver it to their family and their kids, right because
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, you know, you don't at the
Speaker 2: time when you're doing stuff, you don't really think about it.
Speaker 4: Like when you're young.
Speaker 5: Absolutely not, you're not thinking like that, nothing like that.
Speaker 2: But I like the fact that the the the greatest
Speaker 2: apology is change behavior. I'm had that he accept the
Speaker 2: responsibility and accountability for his actions. And uh, guys, are
Speaker 2: other professional athletes and and people that's watching this podcast.

Speaker 1: And I just look at some of the stuff I
Speaker 1: was able to do, and and you know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: You know, the worst part of what it is is
Speaker 1: the fact that I still think I can do what
Speaker 1: I see on goddamn tape. That's the worst part. That's
Speaker 1: the worst part for me in my mind. I really,
Speaker 1: you know how I talk confident now, I still think
Speaker 1: I could do it. I just you know, the body,
Speaker 1: the body and the mind and the brain.
Speaker 4: But the body.

Speaker 2: the most For the most part, I can tell you
Speaker 2: what I did.
Speaker 4: I did it, I did that, I did that, and.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But it's different, man, when you when you
Speaker 1: just go back and sit back and just have an
Speaker 1: appreciation for your contribution in the NFL and just sit
Speaker 1: back and watch the highlights.
Speaker 5: Man, it brings back. It brings it brings back great memory,

Speaker 2: I was a little boy, and you know, they would
Speaker 2: come watch me play in high school and and so.

Speaker 1: twenty four to seven in the line of fire went
Speaker 1: We're counting yeah.
Speaker 4: When I go back home, oh Jo.
Speaker 2: For the most part, my when I was going back

Speaker 2: mean we had a not a good time, a great time.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the love that my home. That my home,
Speaker 2: my homeboys, and they're gonna they're gonna protect me now.
Speaker 2: They ain't gonna let you talk crazy about me if
Speaker 2: you come from out of town.

Speaker 1: Obviously, that same love for me as well. Obviously hear
Speaker 1: in Liberty City. You know I'm from Liberty Obviously I'm
Speaker 1: for Liberty City out here in Miami. I left Liberty
Speaker 1: City without really leaving. That makes sense, right, that makes
Speaker 1: sense to you. So the love I've always been shown
Speaker 1: because I've always stayed true to what I like to
Speaker 1: call my roots, and I've always been my authentic self.
Speaker 5: I didn't make it and didn't change. So if you
Speaker 5: knew me.

Speaker 1: you went to class with me and understood I was
Speaker 1: a class clown back in ninety six and ninety seven
Speaker 1: in college.
Speaker 5: I was the same person.
Speaker 1: In the NFL, nothing about me had changed at all. Ever,
Speaker 1: never did, and so there was always an authentic and
Speaker 1: genuine love for me in the hood where people say, oh,
Speaker 1: once you make it, never go back. Never had those
Speaker 1: issues because I was always remain my true self. And
Speaker 1: I think some of the stories on some of the
Speaker 1: stories I can't remember, but some of the experiences that
Speaker 1: I was able to share and allow those that were
Speaker 1: friends of mine throughout that tenure before I made it.
Speaker 1: Once I did make it, though some of them stories
Speaker 1: will be so good that I can't even share to myself.
Speaker 1: I can't even share it myself. We had some good times, man,
Speaker 1: I had a hey shit, that shit got me tearing
Speaker 1: up a little bit. Well, we had some good time
Speaker 1: for all all all my people. I know they probably
