Go follow my media company on all of its platforms.
That's Shadeshared Media and my clothing company eighty four with
eighty four being spelled out. That link is PID in
the chat, Ojo. I thought the game was gonna be

(04:48):
like this, consenting how it was going, because it didn't
look like either team could get generated at pressure, and
so they were going up and down the field. But
you knew a mistake here or there. And the Colts
track first because they the forty nine of score kickoff
Boom fundled the ball. They go right down to score.
Perdy had a perfect night going throw a ball a
little high. The Kendrick barn got tip got picked off.
But you can't complain five touchdown passes. It seemed like

(05:11):
every time that The only time they got stopped, O Joe,
is that y'all tried to kick a sixty four yard
field goal. Other than that, they were just off to
the races all night long. Philip Rivers didn't look bad,
Ojo Hey, guys, he didn't look bad, but look, he
probably lost about uh. He was Greg Maddick to begin with,

(05:33):
so he was never Roger Clemens or Randy Johnson. He
was never one of those guys. He definitely not seams.
But it's just hard, oh Joe, it's just hard. He
has no mobility. He's never been a very mobile guy,
and now it's all gone and.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
That he's just a sitting gup. He was just a
sitting gup.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
But I thought he played well giving it been away
from the game for five years, old Joe, and coming back.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
He still got the actresses.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
He still can throw the ball, but it just seemed
like o Jo, he throwing a ten yard out of here,
Like yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
It.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Almost is.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
It looks as if he throws the ball and he's
damned there in pain and did like he damned there
in pain. It's like the ball waves, the ball is
much heavy than would ball or something like that. But listen,
Philip Rivers is very accurate. He looked good tonight. Obviously
he's always been a stationary target, you know, he never
he's never been a dual threat.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Outside of that.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
The way the game did start, unk, I thought, I
thought I was gonna go back and forth.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
I thought both of them.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I thought both teams were going to be able to
score at will and it would.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Be a high scoring game.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Obviously, I think the forty nine ers have had a
little bit too much firepower for him.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
They really, the coach really.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Couldn't keep up the goddamn forty nine ers. They look very,
very good. This is what they can look like when
they're healthy, When the forty nine ers are healthy, when
they're hitting on all cylinders. They got the quarterback back
McCaffrey's healthy. God damn, Trent Williams is back there. And
everything seems to be going well for them right now,
and they're in a great position as opposed to how
they look early in the season when things weren't going

(07:05):
to well and players were out and players are missing.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Is this is really good for them. They're in a good.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Spot their final two games all at home, which is
great for them. But when you look at him, Oyo,
you look at Purty, and you look at this team,
obviously that can throw The question that I have is
their defense and not getting If you don't put pressure
on Matthew Stafford, he gonna light you up. If you

(07:32):
don't put pressure on Sam Donald, He's gonna light you up.
That's that's the cause for concern for me. Offensively, I
think they can score with anybody. Juwan Jenny's playing really well.
We got to see how serious the injury is with
George Kettle. But they got guys that can make plays.
Christian McCaffrey catching it out the backfield, running the ball, Robinson,

(07:54):
Brian Robinson Junior gets spelling him.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's my concern with them. Kenny.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Look, Philip Rivers ain't going to where he's not. Matthew
Stafford really is not mobile. None of these guys are
really mobile. But you can't leave him that kind of time.
And and something else I found very interesting in watching
this game and is not far away. They get great
quarterback played with the weapons. They got Taylor running it,
you got Peers, you got Pittman, you got warn they

(08:19):
got good tight ends that Hey they're good, and I
see I see why they like that, and you can
see why they won with Daniel Jones. You can see
why because this team they got pieces around him. They
just need to get exemplary quarterback play. If they get that,
now they're in a tough division the AMC size is
not a cakewalk because you got the Texas in that division,
and you got the Jags for the foreseeable future because

(08:43):
all of them got young quarterbacks and all of those guys,
all those teams got great pieces around those young quarterbacks.
But I thought the forty nine has looked really, really
good tonight outside of but you know, the pressure, that's
my concern for them. And and they got Chicago. Forty
nine has got Chicago, Yeah, next week and then they
finish up with Sele both gots at home. Now, if

(09:03):
you don't put pressure on Caleb Williams. Oh, and he's not,
He's not.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
He can move now. Not only can he move, he's
surgical with that ball. Now, he's surgical with that ball.
He can throw all type of different arm slots. He
throwing off his back foot. He's almost it seemed like
he's almost from that that that that school of Aaron Rodgers,
Brett fav in a sense because he has so much
arm strength, he can do some of the things that

(09:29):
you're not supposed to do at the quarterback position. Another
another another Jordan Love like in a sense they be
to think about it. They do things, they they're not
supposed to do when it comes to throwing the ball
because their arm strength is so goddamn good.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
The guys that I mean, all the guys that you mentioned,
they don't really have his athleticism. No, I mean, Aaron
Rodgers was good, but Caleb Williams, Jordan Love is athletic.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
But he can blow.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I mean, and and like you said, oh Joe his
abilities with Hey, look at that touchdown. And it's a
lot harder for a right handed to roll left because
you're asking him to open his hips up sometimes and
throw back, you know, from from hash inwards. You don't
really want him going hash back to the middle. But

(10:17):
still you have to ask him to open his hips sometimes.
But this is gonna be a very very good matchup
next week when the forty nine ers take on take
on the Bears. But this game on Joe I was.
I was impressed with brock Perdy. He was curgical tonight.
Guys made play for Juwan Jennings was making plays. Uh
Kiddle making plays until he got injured. McCaffrey doing what
McCaffrey does. He's a dual threat over one hundred yards rushing.

(10:40):
He had five or six pas receptions with two more touchdowns.
Guys just made plays, and that's what you gotta have.
This is what you want this time of year. You
want guys making plays. Look, the quarterback is not gonna
Jennings made some tough plays. I mean that kittle in
the end zone tough play. But I like Jennings. I
like because if you in this offense, o shoe, you
got to be able to block. You got to be

(11:01):
able to push people off the pile.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
You gotta be.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Able to Hey, they ain't got no problem. They asked
those those the wide receivers. Hey, we're gonna insert you.
We want you to walk in there, go dig somebody out.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
In that offense.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
I mean, obviously I never played in the West Coast
style offense, but in that offense, not only do you
have to catch balls, you got to be willing to block.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh yeah, the block, no block.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
No ball.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't a fair too well
in that offense there, Oh.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yea, yeah, yeah you would because you want to catch
the ball, So you go block. Coach, you see that, coach,
you see that, And then because if you don't, then
they put that thing in. We come in the big
movie together and then put that fang on the board
and then then you go loafing.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Did everybody.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Look, Hey, look looking right, looking right back at you. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
The one one thing about the boy, I'm not gonna
loaf on that food on that field. I might not
block you, but I will run your ass.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Off that yards. Yeah, but that's what that's what you
have to Look. Hey, as long as your guy doesn't
make the play you gotta make, you gotta make him
a chaser and not a pursuer. As long as you
making him chase O Joe. Like Rerun was chasing that truck,
the ice cream truck. Yeah, he got left Roger, Roger

(12:17):
and what's the earnest other one name Er. Yeah, they
were already on the truck and Rerun was chasing it. See,
he's a chaser. Cops pursue. So that's what you know.
When you want to chase her, you don't want to
pursue her because eventually he gonna cut you off at
the angle. But I thought the forty nine ers played
really well. They look really really good. The concerns, and
I don't know chat what you think about it is

(12:39):
that you got to be able to generate pressure. You
can't let that quarterback. I mean Philip River was back there.
Think about what he had last Joe. He was throwing
the ball like one, like less than two yards per
tim tonight.

Speaker 4 (12:52):
I think the play calling obviously is predicated to to
knowing that he's been off for so so much time.
So we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna slowly bring him
into the offense, slowly allow him to make those throws
down the field. And he looked good doing it. He
looked he looked very very good doing it. And it
just it looked like the guy, damn ball is so
heavy to fill the man look like the ball as

(13:14):
heavy as.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Hell, but like yeah, but still to be to B forty.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
But also Ojo, you remember now Seattle's front four Jap pressure.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
So we got to get the ball to get out
of there quick.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Kendrick Bard needed one receiving yard to earn a five
hundred thousand dollars bonus. He secured that in the first
half the night, finishing the game with three catch up
for twenty seven yards. The forty nine ers get their
elevens win on the season. Brock Party now is the
first quarterback to throw five touchdown passes on a Monday night,
considering Joe played a lot of games on Monday night.
Steve played a lot of games on Monday night. And

(13:48):
you talk about two first Battle Hall of Famers, two
League MVPs, two Super Bowl MVPs, and you've done something
that they've never done. You know, you, you and you,
and yeah's pretty good. You've done pretty good for you
for the last there to be selected, mister irrelevant, he's
become very relevant.

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Now that's a that's an amazing story too.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
And at some point when his career is over, that
story needs to be told in in docu series format.
But to go from mister irrelevant to the quarterback of
the forty nine ers where everybody doubted you're going into
the draft and to come back in and if they're
able to win a Super Bowl with him at the
hem man, listen, that's that's a Disney movie type fairy tale.

(14:29):
That's a Disney movie type fairy tale. If he's able
to pull that off with the forty nine ers.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
How about this, oh yo, the forty nine ers Thomas
Moore moose dead waiting his turn to play. The forty
nine ers have not punted the football in December that
he collected free money.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Yeah, it's either either two things. Either he chilling and
he's okay, or he's pissed off.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Yeah. One of the chillings.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
He chilling because he was because you saw him on
the sidlide and I wonder why they was just kicking.
He's like, I'm just working on my drop just in
case I'm needed. Because all he do is because you know,
they hold for the kicker, So that's all that his
knee might be sore from being down on one knee
hold holding the ball for the kicker. But uh, now,

(15:24):
the NFC West, Oh Joe, you think the NFC West
is the most stacked?

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Absolutely absolutely, I mean not not not even close, not
even close, because not not only are they stacked all
of the teams over there, not only are they stacked offensively, Hell,
they can get after you on defense too.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
They can get out, they can get after you on
defense too.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
So you know what, most of the time, based on
how the season is going, you can you can kind
of tell there's certain teams that just dominate.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
And you knew who was going when it came to
last year.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
And we were watching football in the NFC it was
a Philadelphia Eaves.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
It was it was.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
It was clear skin, it was clear as day. When
it came to the AFC, god damn it. They might
they might have sucked at the beginning of the season,
but as the season went on and it tapered down
towards the end, you know what, Damn.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
AFC, it's gonna be the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
And who ended up making it to the Super Bowl
this year, ain't no telling, especially they got damn NFC,
ain't no telling who coming up out of them.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, I would put it.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I wouldn't lay any money on the Eagles coming up
out of these, that's for damn sure. I'm not laying
any money on them. Yes, when you look at the
NFC West, you got what you got, what three teams
would at least the level.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Win Seattle Rams. But who's the third Niners?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
And and Prior to the collapse.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Of green Bay and and and and and and Troy,
they were naked neck because you know, everybody right there, Chicago,
green Bay, Detroit, and then all of a sudden, you know,
the uh as the injury started.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Mind for green Bay Detroit.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Defensively had some had some problems, but you have the NFCT,
and I believe they're gonna get all three of those
teams out of that division, all three of those. Obviously,
somebody's got to win to the Vision, Joe, but I
believe two teams are gonna make the Wild car and
Somebody's gonna be and somebody Carolina's gonna have to put
Carolina Tempa is gonna have to face on the level eleven, twelve, thirteen,

(17:30):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
And that's that's a good thing. Despite what they did
during the regular season. When it gets to that playoffs,
it's only one game.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
All three of them, if officially clintcho all three teams
in the NFC where Seattle, San Franz and the Rams,
all three of them all the playoffs. Now we just
got to see, Okay, one of them is gonna be
the one seed. I mean, excuse me, possibly, yeah, one,
it's gonna be the one seed. Chicago still could I
think Chicago is still cause Chicago uh uh.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
As one seed.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
But think about it, you're gonna have possibly a thirteen
win two thirteen win team OJO and they're gonna be
the five and six seeds. So three and four, y'all
got y'all work cut out for you, absolutely, because right
now Seattle is the number one seed. The barriers are
number two Eagles, three Carolina four, San Francis, five, rams

(18:27):
Is six, Green Bay of seventh. Right now, Detroit's on
the outside looking in. Meanwhile, the Coats are mathematically eliminated,
but their playoffs, they aren't mathematically eliminated.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
O jo. They started seven and started seven and one
and now have lost.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Five in They was rocking there, they was rocking and rolling.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yes, maybe quarterback got hurt.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, you can have it go, you can have it.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Right now, the Broncos are the number one seed twelve
and three, followed by the Patriots the number two seed
twelve and three, Jacksonville number three seed eleven and four,
Pittsburgh the number four seed ninety six. If if the
Chargers went out and the Broncos lose one of their
LAMB two games, they win the division as a time
break over because they would have swept the Broncos. Right now,

(19:18):
the Bills eleven and fourth, they're in the sixth seed.
The Texans are ten and five. So all the Texans
wins one more game, and well, tex I guess the
Texans still theoretically could win the division if they win,
if they went out and what you call them lose out?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I guess yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Other than that, Baltimore right now is the eight nights seed,
the Baltimore the Ravens orders. For them to make the playoffs, Joe,
they would have to win out and the Steelers would.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Have to lose the next two.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
They would have to win. Yeah, win their next two
and then Old Pittsburgh lose.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
That's one of the worst situations to be in. That's
the one of the worst situations be in, to have
two games left and be relying on another team and
lose their games when you you could handle your business yourself.
We didn't have to worry about anybody else in the
outcome of their games. But I mean, it is what
it is. It is what it is. I guess your
team is gonna be right there with us and can.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Com w w wh wh what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (20:21):
It your team, the Ravens. That's your team. Winn it
ain't it? Oh, you are aware we're not claiming them today?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Which one I thought you said? Uh? I only had
a couple of coffer there.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah, I'm just making sure. I'm just making sure, Hey,
unc where you at? Man? It looked like you're in
the attic somewhere.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
You know. You know what I'm saying. I've been a treehouse.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
You in the treehouse for real?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Uh? You do?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
It looked like an addict for real. Okay, that's it.
That's it is, dope. Can I see you?

Speaker 4 (20:57):
I see one one thing about it, but you can't
have money. But you can't have money, broad.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
I just tried to make it. One thing about it.
You made it.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
You made because I've never seen yeah, you know, I
I've never seen an attict like that where it looks
modern with that type of lighting, but that type of setting.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
I mean just you know, joan brain. But it just
screams money, that's all. That's all.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
It screams that.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
You know, I have someone that cares it takes everything
you have the setup, that's what it screamed your screen.
I'm too cheap. I would saying this issue myself. That's
what your screen.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
Oh wait a minute, mind screamed.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I have a deployee that does your scream like, I'll
do it this.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
See this is the thing.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
It looks plain right now, but when we get to
we in December. Right now, I have a I'm getting
a makeover strictly strictly fortnightcap in general, my lighting, my trophy,
my awards, So the background is be completely different. You'll see,
You'll see I'm putting my money back into and investing

(22:06):
in in into the appearance of Night Captain Journal, so
it won't look like this very much often.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah, much longer. I'm sorry, much longer.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Uh yeah, but uh but I'm saying, don't y'all don't
know why you be a chieved. Won't hire nobody.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I don't think about this. Who am I gonna hire
that's gonna travel with me everywhere I'm going.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
You just gotta find somebody. I was very fortunate. I
found somebody that didn't have any pets. He's young, he's
not married, and hey, he ready to go boss? Where
we off to next?

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (22:41):

Speaker 1 (22:43):
For real? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I mean they get benefits, they get into your bonuses.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
They get they get who benefits, what kind of benefits
like like then.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
To healthy surance? Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I don't know, man, because old I gotta buy their
flights to Yes. See, you see what basically you're telling.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Me just incorporate yourself. Oh Joe, you gotta be.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Yeah, I gotta be. Okay, so all that all that times.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
But then yes, yes, operate, that's the operation operation me.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
See not now that I know that, I know that part.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Now, how do I go about finding someone to actually
feel that position to role that can travel with me
everywhere I go and we can we can.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well if you have the thing is o Joe, you
got to have somebody that that's the problem.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
You gotta get.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork because everything that everything, they're gonna hear things,
they're gonna see things, they're gonna be places, and that's
got to be confident that goes no fu.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
He see I can't. I can't.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Well that that's that's different right there, boy hey, because
they go place with me.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
You know, I just a m hm.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
But like I said, you know, Jordan was willing to travel.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Jordan. You know, Jordan was from Cincinnati. Oh yeah, and
he and I told him, says, bro, I got a job,
I said, but you can't work it from there. So
I paid, I gave him move here. I moved him here.
I paid, I paid six months in this rent. I
paid a year membership and game gave a relocation fee, damn,

(24:29):
because I knew I wasn't gonna find I wasn't gonna
find I wasn't gonna find anybody that had everything.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
That Jordan had.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
He's young, he's energetic, he's enthusiastic, he's willing to learn.
He's very technologically savvag savvy. He's willing to at. Hey,
we gotta go somewhere in the morning. He aint there, Yes,
And I knew I was not gonna be able to
find someone that had every that checked every box, no pets,

(24:57):
not married, willing to leave all Hey, all you hey,
as long as that place got positive in the gym, good, Hey, Joey,
we got to go to hell tomorrow, gym.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
You know what, So, Jean, I'm gonna do my homework
because that would be dope. Matter of fact, going into
twenty twenty six, I should have someone that that travels
with me, does everything I do, that is tech savvy.
You know that as as right now, I probably wouldn't
have having any problem with a goddamn camera equipment.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Right now. Listen the past one, two, three, the past
three shows.

Speaker 4 (25:31):
If you haven't noticed, I've been using a goddamn laptop camera,
you know, because but the lighting is pretty good, so
you probably can't tell.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
But it's just the quality of just.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
It just ain't what it should be. It ain't what
it should be. So I think I'm gonna do my homework.
I don't know how to go about finding someone, like
do I gotta have I gotta have auditions?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Like yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, you just put just what
you need. You need somebody, uh that fit in this
age group. You need somebody that can't have pets, that
can't be married, and they have to be willing to travel.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, hey that one thing, A boy it boy, they
better be ready to get on the road.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Now. That's it. That's it.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
And so I haven't I don't think I've gone anywhere
in the last two years that Jordan's.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
I go home, Jeordan going to I like that.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I like that unless we're like when we get off
now a when you get off, you go, hey, you
got these three weeks.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
You go with your thing, your day. You ain't got
to check in, you ain't got a call A.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah, it seemed like a t It seemed like a
tedious process. Honestly, I mean, you think when you think
about it in its entirety.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
It seems, you know, somewhat complex, but I'm assuming once
once you get going, once you find that rhythm and groove,
then it probably probably you know, itsues yourself out and
it's probably yourself a self running you know system that
you guys have.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
But because because I don't, you know, he take the keys, like, hey,
he comes sit up, I might not be here.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
He'll come sit up.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
So when I come in, all I do is sit
down and get in front of and get in front
of the camera, and we're off.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
To go club shaysha. Hey.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
He might have to help them do certain things, but
he's getting the pictures, all the pictures that you see
from different angles. That's what he's doing behind the scenes.
If I go somewhere, stuff that we shoot behind the
scenes and stuff like that, that's his. That's his responsibility.
So the social media aspect of it, of pictures and
stuff like that, he handles that.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
But you know, we have a social media team that
he feed the potles too. They spit it out. Damn money.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
Hey, hold on, that's right.

Speaker 1 (27:35):

Speaker 3 (31:24):
I gotta do that. I gotta do that.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
DK Metcalf has been suspended two games without pay by
the NFL for conduct detrimental to the NFL for initiating
physical content physical confrontation with a fan. According to the
NFL release, DK actions violate league policy and that specifies
player may not enter the stands or otherwise confront fans
at any time on game day, and if a players

(31:47):
make unnecessary physical contact with a fan in any way
that constitutes unsportsmanlike conduct or presents crowd controlled issues and
or with risk of injury, he will be held Donnibal
DK plans to steal the suspension, according to Adam schefter
Ojo if the suspension. If the suspension stands, DK will

(32:08):
forfeit five hundred fifty five thousand, five hundred and fifty
six dollars in two games. But here's the most important issue.
If the suspension holds, he voids forty million in future
guaranteed money.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Wait, bring that break.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
The gentleman that he confronted. Ryan Kennedy, the Detroit Lions
fan involved in the altercation, denied he used a special slur,
misogynistic or hate based language during the incident, according to
the statement released by the Michigan law firm. According to
Tom Piller Sero, DK had a history with this Lions fans.
He confronted Sunday Metcalf reported the same fans to Seahawks

(32:52):
security last season while playing with Seattle. Also worth noting,
when DK joined the Steelers, he told a radio play
by play broadcaster that he preferred to be called the Quilling,
but goes by DK because it's easier to pronounce. I
think I read somewhere now I'm not sure. Don't quote
me on this and don't hold me, but I think
he reported uh, he might have reported it to security,

(33:16):
stealer security. I don't, I don't know, but this is
what we know. What he reportedly, What he's allegedly told you,
what he allegedly reported I think James Harrison and what
this gentleman, it does not. There has to be someone.
There has to be someone that was in that vicinity

(33:37):
that heard the back and forth between the two.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, and there has to be And obviously there was
an audio that came out today, Audio that's not clear, audio
that does not state what was said or exchange between
those two. The audio that you do here is the
people that, for one, the people that are literally sitting
next to holding the camera.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
He has no reason to lie, he has no reason
to light in what I don't do. I do not
condone putting your hands on a fan.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
I don't. I don't condone that.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
But that's absolutely that, Yes, it no matter what they say,
you know, no matter what they say, you should not
touch a fan. Now, going back and having a verbal altercation,
now that's okay. You know, a little trash talk back
and forth. Ain't nothing wrong with that. But I don't
condon't putting your hands on a fan. But there's certain
people that you can tell them how to react based
on what you say to them. I know, listens, freedom

(34:29):
of speech, you can say what you want to say.
But also with that you can control what people do
if they choose to do something depending on what you.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Say, and that that's what that's that's what I say yesterday.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
And I said yesterday that the NFL some this, they
gonna come down. Now you said, I thought I thought.
I thought it'd been a fifty thousand dollars. Fine, I
thought it. But I mean, hey, listen, it's it's ah man,
it's it sucks. It sucks for the Lions, for the Lions,
for their fans in general, just just for this thing

(35:04):
to even be on them, for that and you know,
for this even even happen, they have so many, so
many good things going on or ready, uh for them.
For for DK, you know, DK has been in d
DK has been a hot head, not really with the fans,
but but but on on on the field in general.
Mask Yeah, so I mean for him, I mean it

(35:26):
sucks as well. Uh, the the whole forty men guaranteed
that being avoided based on whatever it may be, I'm
not sure how that even applies or or or or
or or it's even part of the situation in general.
So you would probably have to explain that for me
a little bit more in depth, how that will even
affect affect this in general.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Any suspension triggers a board of the board of guaranteed money, well.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
That that's if league suspension or team.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
That that's it triggers it. But the team itself would
have to they can, they can, they can pull back
from that if they want to them Okay, okay, well
he ain't got an worry about then, he ain't got
no worry about. They wouldn't be nasty like that. They
wouldn't be nasty like that.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I don't know, man, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Team to too many teams, that's that's really really fill
gift forty million.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
But I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
I agree, I totally agree. I just think the thing
is is that now players, you see what and you
have to be careful. Now we're in a we're gonna
sue happy time players. Somebody says something that you deem inappropriate,
go get NFL security and have that person removed. And
the process of having that person removed, they're probably gonna

(36:38):
lease lose there. If that's their tickets, those season tickets,
they're probably gonna lose those. And if who's ever seeks
there in, they're gonna lose those because they're responsible for
whoever sits in that. So that's that's because if you
see that with basketball. No, yeah, yeah, ain't going back
and forth all that talking about it, right, hey, But but.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
I don't like see you're different when you know you know,
I love to talk. I love I love a healthy
exchange of pleasantries.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
You know.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
I don't know what it is with this era, but
our era. I like going to play in Baltimore. I
like going to play the Stealers. I like playing away.
I like playing in chaotic, hostile environments. I enjoyed the
altercations back and forth. I love the exchanges of pleasantries
with fans who are not part.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Of the Bengals.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
Like.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
I like that. That's fun for me.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
There's really nothing you can say they get me angry,
because before I get angry, I'm gonnaell you a glass.
I love you anyway, and we're gonna keep going back
and forth. We can go back back and forth all
goddamn game. So I don't understand what it is about
players from this era in a sense where what fans say,
actually should it shouldn't bother?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
You like, have fun with it, enjoy it, banter back
and forth, no matter what they say. They say something crazy,
You say something crazy back and just words. It's just words.
That's the way I look at it. Now, everybody doesn't
react the same.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Nah, they could probably say something. They probably say something
about your mom or your grandma. That is gonna make
that's not.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Man, my mama, whoop your ass?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
See what you talking about? So I think the think.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
But here's the thing, Oh Joe, you see, you gotta
be careful when you go back and forth because if
you get the best of him, then all of a sudden,
that trigger wer they start saying. Because my grandfather us
to always say, boy, he say, if you give the
devil a ride long enough, eventually he gonna drive the car.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Man, don't stop right there.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
Holdo on, hey boy, hey, you think you stick?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
I got my pen right here.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Now you pull that one out of nowhere. Now you
put my kids too. My goddamn notebook, man, I'm gonna
put it in my notes.

Speaker 4 (38:42):
Hold on, hey, but that was a good one, By god, damn,
that was a good one. Hold on, bring that to
me one more time.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Yeah, you give the devil a ride long enough, eventually
he'll drive.

Speaker 3 (38:55):
Oh my god, And what.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
You just have to be careful.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Hey, oh even when even us, oh your old teammates
and stuff, you gotta be you know, we're going back
and forth. Eventually somebody go, hey, you start getting the best,
and then somebody start taking it personal and then they
go you know what, know they worried about it. Bro

(39:22):
it ain't ay before before he before I say something,
or you say something, let's go ahead, hind And that's
how you and that's how you have that's how you
have to deal with it.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Uh. Hello, the Kaylan, the kaylan metcalf So DK is
just easier. Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
I think it's Mama called probably call it the Kaylan.
Look I haven't I said, I tweeted something about uh.
As a matter of fact, he was playing the Steelers
and he had an opportunity to get out of the
bat if he kept it up inside the clock went off,
and I was like, you know, dkad that that that situation,
it's more important to get out of bounds than you
getting a few extra yards. And he didn't take kindly

(40:05):
what I said. But when I when I sat down
and had a common and interviewed him, and I said,
I was explained what I was trying to do DK.
I mean no harm by it, bro, but I was
just saying, you have to understand the situation. There's a
time and a place to get extra yards. And I
felt in that situation that wasn't a time nor the
situation for you to get extra yards. The most important
thing was time on the clock, and you burnt some

(40:28):
time off the clock. And I felt in that moment
you were being selfish. Once I explained it, and he's like, okay,
I appreciate that all. And you know, we kind of
stay in contact. You know, He's like, whichever what you think, X,
Y and Z, things of that nature. But I think
I think he's a great kid, and I think he's
the great I do. And sometimes when the motion is high,
logic is low. But moving forward, all I'm not talking

(40:49):
to all NFL players. If if a fan says something
you deems inappropriate, just call NFL security and get their
ass removed. I don't care if it's a child, I
don't care if it's a woman, I don't care what
it is.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
Get them or fellow NFL players, get your roast game up,
get your joke game up. Listen, go out there and
exchange pleasant with these with these fans of away games have.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Some fun with it.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
Nah, but that but oh Joe, that's not everybody. That's
not every you and I quick with it. You know,
I'm a boogle. Yah, I'm I'm fine off, I'm I'm
just joning. You go to an agen, see you you
got because you are nothing to walk in that sports
center with some bull dyve on or get away with
it and yeah, yeah, so jooning is I'm gonna expert

(41:40):
it joning. But everybody ain't like that. Yeah, and everybody
don't play like that. What I joke to you is
death to someone else. So you have to be careful
because everybody don't joke. Everybody what you find funny don't

(42:01):
find it funny.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
So you have to.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
But you know, sometimes fan trolls and rage baby or
whatever they want to call them, they go to the
game just to get that in the situation, the matter
of fact that he have a law firm.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
You know, there's probably gonna be a civil suit.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
But hey, but you just I just if I could,
if I could give DK any advice or any player
that can potentially find themselves in that situation, just have
security remove I got it.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
I mean all of us, all of us got that
quick with though. That that's that's just that's just a
part of us in general. Like think about telling jokes.
You got to you got to be on your p's
and q's.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
Yeah too.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
But but everybody, Oh, that's just like everybody can't sing,
everybody can't dance, everybody can't lead the boss of the service,
everybody can't pray. Sometimes you have to meet Oh what's
that's what if that's what I'm read? Come on now, Oh,
I keep the fire. I got a thousand jokes on me.
I ain't used for twelve of them, so I got

(42:58):
nine hundred. Amo, your ass up with it. So, but
that's me, and I know what's gonna happen, because here's
the thing. Oh, this is what happened. If somebody getting
on somebody, they don't get mad at the person roasted them.
They get mad at the people laughing. Oh what you
laughing at?

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Oh it's funny. Now do you mad either?

Speaker 2 (43:16):
What?

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Mh.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
But that's how it is.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
And so look, fellow nflers, moving forward, this is the
way you handle that situation.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Keep your money.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
John Harbaugh says he's not worried about the job security,
that John Harbaugh said, I try to do the job,
not try to keep the job. My focus is always
been over the last eighteen years here in the last
forty one years in coaching, is always tried to do
the best.

Speaker 1 (43:44):
Job I can today and fight as hard as I can.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
So the guys have the best chance to be successful
today and anything after today. I'm not thinking about that
because it's not given to us to think about. We
don't have control over that except for the job we
do today. And if if we do a good enough
job today, then the opportunity to do that job or
a different job will be there tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
And that's what you hope for at the end of
the season.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
As the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, the
seven and eight Ravens can be eliminated from the playoff
contention this weekend if the Ravens lose at the Packers
or or on Saturday, or the Steelers win at the
Browns on Sunday. Harvard claim on the scrutiny for the
lack of carriage given running back deag Henry in the
Sunday's fourth quarter and another blowing fourth quarter lead. Sunday

(44:32):
loss marked Baltimore sixth time since twenty nineteen leading by
double digits in the fourth quarter, which is tied with
the Chicago Bears for the most during that span. Baltimore
also recorded it sixth loss at home, which is the
most in a single season in Franchimes history.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
Hey, listen, the beginning the beginning of that statement was
a bar. I'm not sure if you meant to see
it like that, say the first thing.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
He said, he said, I try to do do the job,
not try to get right now my focus. Yeah, I
try to do the job to.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Keep That's a bar. Hey, that that that was a
bar right there. I mean, it's unfortunate. Listen.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
As a head coach, you try to do everything you
can to actually reach that Lombardi. You do everything you
can to try to get there. They've been very close,
but they've gotten to the playoffs. Unfortunate things happen, unfortunate circumstances,
where it be turnovers, whether it be injuries, and just everything.
So many different things have to go right, you know,
in something in some way shape for them or fashion.

(45:31):
It's winning a chip, is a little bit of luck
and playing extremely well at the right time. Some things
have to go your way. It's just it's just tough.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
And I hate that.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
I hate the fact that the conversations now and the
rummings that are coming from somewhere because they're not winning.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
And they don't look the same as.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
They did before, or and as you as you say
they're they're not close, you said, they're not closer, they're
further away the way they further wait now than.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
They were before. You know, maybe it's time they hear
from someone new.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I think the thing.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
I was just gonna say, I don't. I just I
just don't think.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
I hate a situation with Jim Harball he leaves and
someone else comes in. It almost reminds me someone else
is gonna come in, and that's gonna be just the time,
the right amount of time where the team is they
right there even though they had a bad season. It's
gonna be one of those situations like Mark Jackson leaven
the Warriors and then Steve Kirr.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Comes in and god damned, look look what happened. They
motherfuckna win it.

Speaker 4 (46:38):
And you know, the new person gets all the goddamn
credit when they right there on the verge, they right
through the verge.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
I think.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
I think when you look at it, O yo, Derrick Henry,
he gives them the lead and he doesn't come back
in the game.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
This was after the fumble, though.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
He scored a touchdown after the fumble.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
So you got a ten point lead twenty four fourteen,
And you mean to tell me, well, we're on a rotation.
So you mean to tell me if Bron cooking, Kobe
rest is soul cooking, a current cooking Jordan cooking, Oh
you know what, he on the minutes restriction. Let's take
him out.

Speaker 1 (47:21):
If I got a horse, if I got.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
Randy Johnson and here's the and the eighth and the
eighth inning and he's still throwing ninety eight one hundred,
he going back in to close this.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
If I got Paul Skins and he dealing, he closing this.
I got Pedro he.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
Yes, come on now, man, come on.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
That's Derrek. I get it. And Keith Mitchell I played
with his dad as oh.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
Yeah, keep playing with me. And in Cincinnati, yeah, play
with me.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
So I know it. But Deck Henry gott O yo now,
and he running it. You look at it. The man
had at carey eight, he running it. Beat it.

Speaker 3 (48:14):
Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't know what goes
if you.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Play pac Man, right, Yeah, when pac may eat them chairs,
you don't run to the monsters. You let him eat.
Let it mean.

Speaker 3 (48:30):
That's a good one, that to mean.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
And we've seen that. This is not the first time
that has happened. And I think this is what the
fans are getting got rid about. You keep taking, you
keep taking d.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Henry, he's running it.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
There's a reason. There's a reason why they do it.
We don't know what that reason may be, you know,
but they do it for a reason all the time,
all the time. Now in this situation, based on this game,
why they're doing it. See for us watching the game,
it makes sense. For them, it makes sense because they're
doing it for a specific reason.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
What that reason is.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Yeah, sometimes it's analytics, you see how see you see
what happens when you don't let the feel your judgment
guide you and you start listening to analytics. You see
what you just said. I bet your analytics played the
role in it. You're good man, This a This man
got eighteen carriers. This man got one hundred and twenty

(49:27):
eight yards and we still got ten minutes. Run them down,
run it, Oh Joe that's what you got it from.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
You ain't never lying. They said, it makes it makes it.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Hey, when y'all get this ball back, either y'all gonna
be down. Either y'all gonna have very little time on
the clock, or we're gonna get another.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
Score the other.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
It's one of the other. But dreck here. You can't
come up.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
You can't, Oh joe, that'd be like you coming out
the field on third down, the most important down. You
got one hundred and eighty five yards. Oh yo, say
with tired, were you better call time Outlet your catch
your damn breath.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Oh no, i'n't get tired. I don't get tired. Oh no,
I don't get tired.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Oh you look for the Hey, hey you run you
run that run up, running up two, right, running up one.
They don't thought that. They always shoot you. And if
you come back and run that one, you all know
who you're back.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
I'm gonna give you one.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
Now you send me out there, you send me on
two goals of posting that posting, I'm gonna tap.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
Yeah, I blowed were coming to you or you better
come to me on first die. And if we get this,
if we get this, if we pick up the third down.
I'll be ready on first, but I ain't ready right now.
But uh, but I just, oh, Joe, eighteen years is
a long time. And it's not like he hasn't had

(50:49):
a quarterback. He's had a quarterback that's won two m vps,
could have easily won a third, and nobody would have
batter than I. You get a quarterback that's winning at
that level, Come bro, you got to clothe it in.
Even if he just gets one.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
That's its one. Once you get that one, that.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
That's it. He's got it.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
He's gotta get one. He's got to and and and
I just you know, like you said, it might be
somebody else that has to get a Moses led him
out of Egypt, but he didn't see the promise Land.

Speaker 3 (51:30):
Hey, I'm with you when you're right.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
Now. He's done a great job. And he took this
team to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
They wanted with you know, a with Flacco at the helm,
and they had Ray and Ed and Suggs load they
had a night. They had a great team.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Yeah, but.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
You can't. You can't. You can't, you can't do you can't.
You can't make these kind of mistakes. You got to
have You've got to have Henry in that game.

Speaker 3 (51:59):
You've got to It don't make no sense.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
It doesn't make any sense for us that are football
guys and understanding know the game, fans scratching their head,
questioning why are they doing it? There's some internality that
we don't know about, and there's a reason why they're
doing it.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Why I don't know.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
And they've done it multiple times. We fuss about them,
giving them eleven carries, twelve carries, and statistically saying when
they win games, he runs it twenty four more times.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
And still they do the same thing.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
They do the same thing.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
And at some point in time, you know A and
I'm sure Bashadi and I'm sure Os and the cost
I'm sure they're asking a whole lot of questions. So
what went into this process?

Speaker 1 (52:45):
What was your thinking?

Speaker 2 (52:46):
And I understand, but oh Jo, I'm fighting for my life,
so I've got to fight. So even if that's the plan,
now I'm in a different situation because I got less
marginal era. The mistakes that I made earlier that I
could probably compensate for, I can no longer make you

(53:07):
already know the Steelers had won earlier.

Speaker 1 (53:11):
With that now they put you on the brink. If
I'm on the brink, O, yo, I'm.

Speaker 3 (53:17):
Empty'm yes, got it, I got everything in the kitchen.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
What about saving him for next year? Yeah, I don't
want to put I don't want to put no more
Carris on your boy. I want to save you for
twenty twenty six. Nah, bro, you got February, March, April, May, June.
You got five months to heal up. If I got
to give him eighteen carres in the next ten minutes.
Oh well, that's why he eat. That's why eat lettuce

(53:45):
and he and all that stuff that he eats, and
they don't eat no fried foods. Did he have avocado
and chicken slices and pineapples being juice? That's why he
lift off and run off, run up the heel and
pull a time whatever he do all.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
That fuck for moments like that.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Yes, not to stand on the damn sideline to watch
somebody else. Nah, I think coach, I got it, I
got it.

Speaker 1 (54:11):
I don't. I don't. I don't beat him down this much.
Let me go in and let me go ahead. Yep,
that's it.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
So this is probably this is maybe the most criticism
that that that has received in his in his tenure,
you know, he's received great latitude. But when you got
you know, you got an MVP quarterback. You got, I mean,
the one thing you can say, Joe flacko this and

(54:39):
that become playoff time, that's hard to beat. Could have
easily had a second su Bowl. He hit Lee Evans
right in the hands and he dropped it. And then
the field goal kick him miss the game time field goal.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Dangn So.

Speaker 2 (54:56):
I think the fans in Baltimore is like, man, you know,
because we talk about windows closing. Is Josh Allen window closing?
Is Mahomes window closing? Is Joe Burrow window closing? Well,
I think it's only Thair that we ask those same questions.
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are their window.

Speaker 3 (55:12):
I don't think so. I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
I mean because when we talk about windows closing, those
quarterbacks you just name are Those are our top tier quarterbacks.
Those are our elite quarterbacks. So you can you can
always you can always be willing to build a team,
a combatant team around them to give yourself a chance.
With those quarterbacks, you have a ten to fifteen year

(55:35):
span to be able to do what you need to
do constructionally, to be able to build a winning team,
because they gonna give a chance no matter what. Now,
you can't just put a goddamn a bunch of bums
around them. Got to have some key some key pieces
you get. You get some key pieces. With those quarterbacks
you just name, you're always going to have a chance.

(55:56):
Most of the time. They always in contention. I mean,
this year they out means next year they'll probably be back.
I'm including Cincinnati.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
I'm not boasting because of Cincinnati. The Ravens to be
back next year. I mean, Josh is looking like Josh again,
Like you always had so those same those same players
were always being contented and always give you a chance
no matter what.

Speaker 3 (56:20):
Wait, hold on, man, what.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Bat he wore all these kids? He told me he
had all them kids when he was in Cincinnati. Man,
don't you have lost your damn mind? Yeah, get ready,
your dad are crazy.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Now they're good. I'm trying.

Speaker 4 (56:40):
They they screaming, They plan goddamn hide and seek. I
thought somebody was crying. Hey guess I'm going It's twelve
o'clock at night.

Speaker 3 (56:48):
Man, they need to be in bed anyway.
