I guess people did. Many people didn't know. Boycott as we thought. Ocho. Bad Bunny delivered the most watched super bowl halftime show at all time. The show drew 135 million viewers, surpassing Kendrick's record Roc Nation super bowl viewership since he's taken over. And I, I guess that's 2020. He did 103 million in 2020. 96.7 in 2021. 103.4 in 22, 121. Brianna in 23, 123.4 and 24. Kendrick did 133.5 and 25. And coming over the top by almost 2 million views. Bad Bunny Bonito. Go ahead, Ojo.
Unk
Hey. Well, one thing, one thing I can say is a lot of people will complain. And the percentage of people that didn't enjoy, the percentage of people that didn't like it, the percentage of people that were think pieces and had huge dialogues on their displeasure with the halftime show and complaining about, oh, it was in Spanish. I didn't know what was going on. It's a very small percentage. It's a very small percentage. What people have to understand is that the NFL is trying to grow. They're trying to grow a consumer market outside of just the United States. They want to grow globally. That is the only way, growing globally, that you continue to push the boundaries include cultural diversity. And I think they're doing a really good job at it. And if you think about it, we've given a different halftime performer almost to every different genre of music. So whatever you do at this point, I think people still will not be happy. They're going to always complain about something. You will never be able to please everybody. So I like the direction that the NFL is going with the halftime shows and touching each and different genre of music and giving them their opportunity to have that big.
Ocho
And I think his interview on Apple Music is the most watched interview on that format. I think he did. He's 68 million and counting. But it's always funny, the people that boycott, but they didn't tell nobody to boycott them when they performed. I know a guy that talking about he had his own thing at another venue, but did you remember when he. Ain't nobody boycott. We ain't gonna get into that. Oh, let's not, let's not. Let's not do that. But you gonna talk about.
Unk
But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ocho
Listening, listening at people. And they were talking about, we paid 5,000 a ticket and we paid this. And it's like I come to see Bonito, I ain't know. They call him Benito. I ain't know Benito Santiago. I didn't know. I didn't know that was. That was his name. Bad Bunny. But it's like we come to see Bonito, and they started speaking Spanish, and they were so excited. Yeah, they had on their team gear. They had on the Seahawks, and they had on the Patriots. They. Somebody. I think I saw somebody. His team wasn't even in it. He said, I came to see bad money. I came to see. But Nietzsche, right?
Unk
So. Right, right, right.
Ocho
At some point, I mean, you're not. You're not gonna please everybody. When they had Kendrick, he wasn't broad enough. When they had Usher, he got old songs. When they had Rihanna, where she showed up pregnant, they had Kendrick. I mean, they had Dr. Dre and Snoop and Mary J. You're not going to. Please. When you got almost 400 million people in the United States, you're going to offend someone. But you know why? Because people are looking for reasons to get offended.
Unk
Yes.
Ocho
Ocho. I don't like apples, okay? If I don't like apples, that. Just because I like something, that don't mean I hate something else.
Unk
If I.
Ocho
You like oranges, right? That don't mean you hate apples and bananas. That means you like. You like mango. That don't mean you hate watermelon and honeydew. But people get so offended, they're looking for a reason to get offended. Oh, this is an American sport.
Unk
This is.
Ocho
Okay, broaden the horizons. You like American food, but you be tearing up some Mexican food. You tear up Indian food, you tear up Jamaican food. Y' all need to stop this and stop looking for reasons to get offended. Like I said, I ain't no one word. I couldn't tell you what the song was, but I was grooving, and the visual effects and the production was over the top. Over the top. I love how he played to his heritage. Ocho. I love the guys playing dominoes. I love the sugar cane. I love the. The. The. The snow cones. I love. I love the ladies in the nail salon getting the hair done. I loved it.
Unk
Even if you don't understand the words, Unk, you become one with the music.
Ocho
I'm moving.
Unk
Sometimes you go to the club. Hey. Sometimes you go to the club. Unk. You can't even hear what's being. You can't even hear what's being played. But. But you become one with the music. It's easy to do. I think most of the people that were complaining, saying oh, my goodness. I don't understand what he's saying. Okay, if you don't understand what he's saying, just go and flow with the beat. It's about having rhythm. Maybe you don't. Maybe, hey, maybe you don't have rhythm. Maybe that's why they mad. Probably because if you got rhythm, all you do is you catch the beat and become one with the music and have fun. That kind of music is about a vibe you don't need to understand. When you travel to the doctor, when you travel to Spain, when you travel to Puerto Rico, when you travel to Brazil, you're not going to understand what they're saying. You're not going to understand the music, but you. You're not going to stand the words, but you become one with the music depending on where you are. And people need to understand what the NFL is trying to do globally, not just here. We want it to be one of the best sports to watch outside of the U.S. and we're competing with soccer, which is number one outside of the.
Ocho
U.S. well, soccer is the number one in the world because more the Europeans play it and more countries play it. Yes, African nation, European countries, of course they play soccer. Of really, they don't play a bear. And that's why basketball is so big globally, because there's the Slovenians and the Serbians and they got so many different people. But when in football, every once in a while, Ocho, you'll get like the gentleman we're going to bring on tonight. We'll get a few here and there that come from Cameroon or come from Nigeria, come from different countries, but not to the vast number that soccer. Not to the vast number. That's why baseball. They got the Puerto Ricans and they got the Dominicans and they got the, you know, the Nicaraguans and they got the Japanese with Shohei and these others, so. And the Panamania. Look, I. I've stopped. Look, I've stopped looking for things to get offended for. Unless you're speaking directly to me. I'm good.
Unk
Yeah. I mean, some people, miserable.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unk
There's nothing you could do about it. It's. Some people are miserable, and you have to allow them to live their miserable lives where nothing anyone else does is going to make them happy. They're going to find something wrong. They're going to nitpick at something, and it's unfortunate. That's some of the times that we're in now where in 2026, you know, when we talk about cultural diversity, they don't want.
Ocho
They don't want culture diversity. They want what they want. They want them to stay here. Everybody else stays here. Your people.
Unk
And no one else gets opportunity.
Ocho
You should supersede yours. What? I want to supersede yours. So it ain't no diversity. I mean, look, and somehow, if somebody gets a job. Oh, they are dei. No one has benefited more from DEI than white women in America. But we ain't gonna have that discussion. We're not gonna have a real discussion.
Unk
We can't make it a political show. No, we can't. We can't do that. But they know we gotta keep. We gotta keep.
Ocho
But they know. Yeah, in colleges and title nine, you. They know affirmative action, who's benefited the most. But y' all ain't ready to have that real conversation. But one day we will. Yeah, but it's. It's. Look, you know, The hammer and the nail could never be a rivalry.
Unk
Wait a minute. Take your time. I know something good coming.
Ocho
Take your time. The nail and the hammer. How can they go back and forth when we know how it's gonna end? The tree will never have a great relationship with an ax. Okay, come on, man. We gonna move it along. But they know. Y' all wanna. Y'. All. How does the gazelle get down and have a conversation. Sit down and have a conversation with the lion or the cheetah? How we should. We should be able to sit down. Really. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Unk
Boy, you just. Hey, you just pulled some gems out of nowhere. You hear me?
Ocho
Yeah.
Unk
Hey, let me get. Let me get it. Let me get a paper towel.
Ocho
Yeah, we're gonna have a. We're gonna have a real. We're gonna have a real conversation. All right, we got a very, very special guest joining us. He had a pick six, took it to the house. Or cheddar wasn't the onesu. Did I get it right?
Uchenna Nwosu
But you got it right.
Ocho
I've been trying to say this thing all day because I'm like, hold on. I wonder if the end is silent. Then I had to go back and listen to the car, listen to the. The TV copy when Mike Tirico on the call, but he said the first name so damn fast. I like, well, damn, I get the nwosu, but what's the first name? So Achinawa Nwosu.
Unk
So, hey, you won before. You won before. So I need to take this moment so I can get a better. A better understanding of what it feels like. Uchenna. You finally won a Super Bowl, Unc. You won multiple Super Bowls. So you know what that feeling is already like for. You need to let me live vicariously through you and give me an explanation. We all come from different backgrounds. We all got to our end goal in different ways. What does it finally feel like to understand all the work you've put in whenever you started playing football to. You reach the promised land, the plateau, the highest of them all, the biggest game, and you finally win one. Let tell me what that feels like. As if I'm a little kid, because I done played 12, 13 something years, but I've never, ever had the opportunity to have that feeling that you having right now. So just. Just give it to me. Rawing up. My bad.
Ocho
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Unk
My bad.
Ocho
We go rewind that. We gonna rewind that. Okay, we gonna play.
Uchenna Nwosu
I got.
Unk
I got. I got it. My bad, my bad. Just give it. Give it to me and give it to him.
Ocho
Straight.
Unk
Straight. Yeah, there you go. That's a good one. My bad.
Uchenna Nwosu
Well, to be honest with you, man, like, honestly, I. I'm not feeling how I thought I was gonna feel. Just if I'm being honest with you, like, real. Yeah, it's like. I don't know. The coaches have us wired in a way to where, like, every game is just like another game, right? Going out there and play. That's truly how it felt. Like it was just another game to us. Like, we expect to win. We expect to go into every match. Like, you know, we're gonna dominate these guys. And, you know, when it was all said and done, it's like, okay, like, what's next? You know, we got another game. That's just how I felt. But I'm sure, like, once I see that.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
But right now, I don't know. I just don't feel like how I thought I would feel. I don't know. It's crazy.
Ocho
Yeah, that's funny. I mean, you're not the first guy that I. That. That I've heard say that. But I think the thing for. For me is that everything as an individual, like, okay, I want to make the Pro Bowl O. I want to lead the team, or I want to lead the league, or I want to be an All Pro. That's an individual goal, but only one team. You know, there are four guys that make the Pro bowl for. For wide receiver. There are three or three defensive linemen that make the Pro bowl as a D lineman, but there can only be one super bowl champ. That means for the year, you get the basket, all the glory. And you mentioned you said something very interesting. You, like the coach has us wired to that. We take one game at a time. And. And you like, okay, what's next? But this was the culmination. So going into the week, you're like, okay, you watching them on tape. Because the difference is, like, you know, you play a regular season game, you watch four games. You watch the last four games this team played. But when you watch this team, you watch everything. You go back from week one, you go to the playoffs, they sprinkle a little preseason in there. And so, yeah, you guys were locked in from the jump. I mean, yeah, I'm gonna throw that last quarter out because y' all didn't. And y'. All. Y' all like, okay, let's not get reckless or do anything like that. And they got some cheap yardage. He threw for the most yards in a single quarter than anybody in the history of the game, and the game was a blowout. So why. How were you guys so able to get locked in and just basically have a bead on everything they were doing.
Uchenna Nwosu
Man? Shout out to Coach Mike, man. He. He's like a nerd when it comes to this football stuff, man. He's in the lab, man. He's studying hard. He's making sure we're in the right, you know, the right calls. He's preparing. He' assistant coaches, you know, making sure we know what's going on. We on the game plan. We studying every day. We watching film. We have about two, three, four meetings a day. We just so locked in. We're just communicating. We talking. And just the overall. Just. The whole team is just buying into what was going on, and we realized what was at stake. It was a Super bowl, so everybody was just locked in, man, we just had one mission and one goal. We accomplished it.
Unk
Yeah. Hey, with. With that goal to accomplish, did you expect to dominate the game the way you dominated it defensively? Because defensively, you guys won that game. Obviously, offensively, Kenneth Walker, keeping that balance when you need to throw you through. But because you ran the ball so well, simply you were able to control most of the game. Defensively, you watch, obviously, you're going in. You what? You watch film. You see how the Patriots look. You saw how they look in the playoffs. You see how they looked in the regular season, and you take bits and pieces of what you're going to get based on their tendencies. Dude, bro. You dominate the whole game to the point where some people are saying the game was a snooze fest, not understanding. No, this is. This is a defensive game. The defenses are controlling the game.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah, they got a great defense over there. They got a lot of players over there. They're. They're. DB number zero. He was playing phenomenal. Milton Williams, they made. Made plays. Number 33, Jennings, he made plays. They was just making plays.
Ocho
But we knew. We.
Uchenna Nwosu
We kind of knew going into this week that, you know, we want to show that we was going to be the best defense in the world, which we did. And we had our mindset made up that we're not going to let these guys come out here and, you know, do what they did to all these other teams. We know we get after Drake, may we kill their engine, which is him. They got nothing left. And we made sure we made that happen.
Ocho
When I look at you guys on defense, you're not that complex. Y' all play. Y' all play quarters coverage. You keep the safeties back. And y', all, you say you're not running the football. And so we won't have to drop a safety down. Cause when I look. Yeah, you. You. You show something. Now. Y' all brought a lot of slot blisses. Spoon, you know, to see Spoon recovery. Yeah, y' all saw something on tape because y' all brought Spoon a little bit more than I'm used to seeing him. Not normally. That's a worry. He normally comes on, but this time he was back and Spoon was coming. What did y' all see to, like, you know what, we can catch him with the slot.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah, you just gotta switch it up. You know, I'm sure they go back and they do their study. They see we bring Nick a lot with a lot of pressures. So Mike said, you know what? Guess what? We're gonna bring Spoon. And Spoon's a great blitzer.
Ocho
He quit really fast.
Uchenna Nwosu
Spoon is fast, man. He can make lineman miss. He can juice. He can just get to the quarterback in a hurry.
Ocho
Same thing with Nick.
Uchenna Nwosu
And so Mike just saw that he switched it up. Nick's a great blitzer, but, you know, we switch it up with the Spoon, and he made play.
Ocho
He timed. He timed those blitzes perfect. Because when he's going, I mean, he hit it on a dead run. Every time when they snapped the ball, he was on a dead run. And it's hard because, like you said, they so small, big linemen used to keep blocking guys like yourself. And so when you get a DB and he doing all this right here, they got no chance. They got no chance. So.
Unk
Hey, hey, hey. One thing I want to say Utena did, Coach, without you being disrespectful, to your opponents. Did coach. Most of the time, you're going to a game plan. Going game plan. You're going to a game. Most of the time, you want to recognize who the fish is, and you draw a circle around the fish's head. The fish is the weak link. Obviously, you have five people on the offensive line, but there's always one weak link. Based on the game we saw, it was three fish, and it started from the center going all the way to the left. Was it. Was that addressed before the game started based on what you saw from their officer line play throughout the week?
Uchenna Nwosu
Absolutely. But instead of fish, we call it tilapia. So we knew from the center all the way to the. To their. Their left or right, you know, the right rookies, we gotta. We gotta take advantage of those, right?
Unk
Okay, sure.
Uchenna Nwosu
Down the road, they'll be, you know, good players. They'll develop. But going into this game, we couldn't let that slide. We have to get out.
Ocho
And the thing, when you get a fish, you don't let him off the hook. And I saw, because they ended up putting D Law. D Law normally rushes on the offensive officer right side, the defensive left side, they like D. Long said, let me get some of this, man. Y' all over there eating, don't even invite me. Let me get a piece of this young fella.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
When Spoon came on that blitz and you were right there because they made the mistake because Spoon got through, the guy blocked. You and Spoon just closed so quick because he was getting ready to throw, and you were Johnny on the spot. So when you see Spoon hit his arm and the ball's up in there, what's going through your mind?
Uchenna Nwosu
Man, I just reacted. Honestly, I didn't even think. I just caught the ball and just took off running. Look left and right, hope I ain't get caught. No DB I saw was good. I was out of there.
Ocho
Yeah. I mean, you gotta think, hey, did.
Unk
It feel like he was running? Oh, I was gonna say, did it feel like he was running in slow motion, like you running a quicksand even though nobody was around you? Yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
It's weird because that was my first time, like, being in that position, like, catching up, like, you receive it. You guys do it all the time, but me, I'm like, oh, okay, this is how it is. Let me just go ahead and not.
Ocho
Fall, run out of bounds.
Uchenna Nwosu
Let me not do something, man.
Ocho
You ain't have no celebration set up. I mean, you gotta have a celebration. Like, man, if I get a scooping score, I get a pick six. I get something, I gotta do something. You ain't have nothing planned?
Uchenna Nwosu
Well, being from Los Angeles, I usually hit my squabble. I'm sure you guys heard that before. The squabble.
Unk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
Things were just moving so fast. Me, I was like, man, let me just celebrate with my teammates and just, you know, because we got to go back on defense again.
Ocho
So you guys, look, I. I was. I was thinking, like, man, they might not score. This might be a situation. So at cuz first half, nothing. Third, I mean, basically through three quarters. And then did it dawn on you at any point in time, say, you know what, man, we might shut these guys out. Hey, guys, man, let's see if we can p this shut out.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying on sidelines like, yo, keep that goose egg up there. Don't let them score. Don't let them score. You know, they. They was able to move down the field. They got that bomb on to Mac, to Mac Hollins, and they got that scramble pass to Stevenson, coming out on the goal line area. But we tried, man, we really tried to push that shutout. That would have been a great accomplishment in Super Bowl.
Ocho
Yeah. Plus, when you think about Seattle, obviously, the Legion of Boom, you know, you got Sherm and you got Earl Thomas and you got those guys, B wags, you got that. But you guys have est establishing a Danny on your own. Yeah, everybody's gonna remember historic defense. They will get remembered. But you started something on your guys own. You call you guys up. What's this mob? The.
Unk
The dark side, huh?
Uchenna Nwosu
The dark side. Yeah.
Ocho
Dark side.
Unk
I'm a part of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
That's just something that we just try to bring, you know, our own identity. Of course, we respect the Legion of Boom and what they've done, so we've kind of try to you know, integrate our own way of life, our own thing. Mob, which stands for mission over bs, came up with. And it's something that stuck. It's like our creed, something that we live by. And the dark side is just something that the defense is just incorporated into something we just built on.
Ocho
I look at you guys, get Ernest Jones. Ernest Jones was traded like twice in a single season. You get Big Leonard Williams, yourself. You come over from the Chargers.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah.
Ocho
When you look at this team and how you guys d law came over in free agency, and you look at how this team is constructed, you guys are built. You guys are built that it doesn't guarantee you because you Know, every year is different because we said the same thing about the Eagles, that the Eagles are gonna be back, and, boy, look out there. Blah, yada, yada. It's gonna be different because everybody's gonna break you guys down. It's like, okay, look, they like to keep them safeties back. We've got to run the football. So it's going to be a different year. But the guys, the way you're constructed, you guys are built to last. You got a young football team, you got a hungry coach, and I think you got a group of hungry young men. What's your mindset going into the off season? Because I'm sure you need some time away. It's been a grind for five months, six months, it's been a grind. You want to get away from it, but when will you start getting in back into it? And when will you start, like, okay, start getting into the group chat, start talking to guys. Okay, what's the plan for next season?
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah, like you said, you definitely want to get away. It's been a long season. This is my first time playing this long. It's everybody's first time, really playing this long, except for a couple guys, Coop and ej, but definitely relax, get our bodies right. And it starts with OTAs, because that's where it started for us last year. You know, we made up that. That identity that we want to start in OTAs and build who we are, start that brotherhood, that, that creed, that togetherness, that camaraderie that we build. All starts and OTAs, off season workouts, everybody showing up, being there for each other, and that's where we start to build this thing for next year.
Ocho
He had an unbelievable game. Zach Pick took it to the house, got so excited, forgot a celebration. World champion Seattle Seahawks or channel nwosu. Enjoy it. That ring is going to be something crazy because it seems like every year the goal is the top from the previous year. You saw what the Eagles look back. I'm sure Jason Beverly Hills is on speed dial, because I know the fact. Hey, dog. Ring might be this side, right? It might be. I don't know. I don't know if you're gonna be able to lift your hand, hold that big old piece of rock.
Uchenna Nwosu
I got a question, though.
Ocho
Yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yellow gold or white diamonds?
Unk
White. White is clean.
Ocho
It's something about that white. It's something about that white gold, man.
Uchenna Nwosu
Okay. We was deciding that as other leaders on this, on the team, what we should go with. But I'm gonna go by y'.
Ocho
All.
Unk
Yeah, yeah. That, that white gonna be beautiful. Listen, I never won a ring as someone as that's somewhat of a jewel, a jewelry connoisseur. It's gonna, it's gonna stand out.
Uchenna Nwosu
Sure.
Ocho
Well, congratulations, man. And enjoy it. If you get an opportunity. Well, they probably. Your guys are probably always. You guys are back in Seattle now, right? Yep.
Uchenna Nwosu
Y' all got back this morning.
Ocho
Did you have an exit? Did you have an exit today or is it tomorrow? Okay. All right. If you get an opportunity to see ej, tell him to come back and join us because he told us he win the bowl, he's gonna come back. So we expect him to come back for sure.
Uchenna Nwosu
I'll let him.
Ocho
I appreciate it, man. Congratulations. Great job, great season, continue success. My brother. Will Campbell declined to speak to the media after their brutal super bowl performance. Patriots reporter Mark Daniels tweeted. I asked Will Campbell to talk. He declined. Last night he had tears in his eyes. I get that part of the job. I get that part of the job is to talk to the media, but also understands the human element of this tough situation for a rookie. And overall, I thought he was good to the media this year. And to be honest, I've seen a number of Patriot veterans, including captains, who have refused to talk over the years after regular season losses. So it's tough for me to criticize the rookie who had a tough game in the super bowl for not wanting to talk while crying. Oo you agree?
Unk
Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, I think reporters, obviously, they have a job to do, but also understanding the human, the human nature and losing a game like that and having to talk to players, you know, right after the game ends and understanding what it means to even reach, you know, a game of this magnitude and lose it with all the work that you put in, you know, some reporters understanding, you know, what players are going through and, and allowing them to be able to express themselves if they want to talk or if they don't and have an understanding of that. I know you want to get, you want to get your answers, you know, your questions answered, but I think it's cool, you know, that they understood this moment and some reporters probably wouldn't. I mean, I don't see how you couldn't, you know, be that rude and that. And lack self awareness on why a player couldn't answer any questions you might want to. Want to have answered after.
Ocho
Let me ask you a question. If they win this game, you think he declining to talk? So is it so he only human if they lose? Is he not Human. If they win.
Unk
So you want to. You want him to sit there and have a conversation when he's crying, knowing they just lost?
Uchenna Nwosu
Super.
Ocho
It happens. We've seen it. We saw Josh Allen do it. Did we not just see Josh Allen cry?
Unk
Yeah, and we saw mean. Because he's a quarterback. We saw mean. No, no, I don't agree with you. If I don't feel. If I don't feel good after losing Super Bowl, I'm not talking.
Ocho
No, but I want to hear you talking. When you win. When you win, I want to see you talk.
Unk
Let me finish.
Ocho
Let me.
Unk
Let me finish. That's two different. That's two different situations. If I win, I'm happy. Of course I want to talk. If I lose the super bowl and our season is over and I'm. I'm not feeling. I'm emotionally. I'm emotionally unavailable at that moment.
Ocho
So he's the first. So let me.
Unk
I'm emotionally unavailable at that moment, and I don't want to talk.
Ocho
He's the first offensive lineman to give up a slack in the Super Bowl. So what about those linemen from Carolina that let Von Miller and. And DeMarcus and DeMarcus Ware beat them all game?
Unk
Oh, when they played the Broncos.
Ocho
No, no, no, no. That's. That's a part of it. Ocho, being a professional. Win, lose a draw.
Unk
Man. Listen, we not gonna use that professional word as a crutch. Every time a situation comes up when a player doesn't want to talk because he's emotionally damaged and he just can't.
Ocho
That's a part of it.
Unk
Ocho. Hold on, hold on. He's crying. He's crying hysterically in front of the camera. Like, who wants to see that? I don't want to see that. If you can't control yourself and you're crying because you're hurt, you know, I don't answer the question.
Ocho
Element of should hurt.
Unk
So you wanted.
Ocho
You lost and you didn't play well.
Unk
Oh, so, okay, we thought it didn't play well. So. Also wanted to talk because he didn't play well. So he's hurt. He didn't play well, and he's crying. So you want him to not only play bad, but you want more embarrassment with him crying in front of the damn camera.
Ocho
That's the human element of it.
Unk
No, you wanted to be. No, that's performative. That's what it sounds like.
Ocho
So in other words, you say he was performing, so he wasn't really hurt. He was just play. Play crying.
Unk
That's tr. You want him to stand there crying after playing bad just to say, oh, no, because everybody gonna pile on him. You cry, baby. You shouldn't be crying because you played.
Ocho
No, you should. Because if you. The more you invest in something, the more it's gonna hurt. It should hurt. I'd have been upset if he wasn't crying.
Unk
You see what I mean?
Ocho
Ocho. Ocho, he got his ass kicked every playoff game. He got his ass kicked against the Texans. He got his ass kicked against the Broncos. He got his ass kicked last night.
Unk
You see what I. Now you see why he ain't going for that goddamn camera. He be getting his ass whipped all goddamn post.
Ocho
Yes. So what's new? What, what's this time? This ain't the first ass cook he took.
Unk
Oh, man, you got to understand, it took a toll on him, continuously losing like that.
Ocho
You know, he could have done something about it.
Unk
Oh, my God.
Ocho
Could he have done something about.
Unk
I mean, probably not. Because at that point, if you're already getting your ass toe up in the PO in, in the postseason, once you get to the biggest stage, the biggest game, and you playing against that defense, that front four, your top five.
Ocho
And I'll give. Look, I get. And they say, well, he got hurt.
Unk
He's a, he's a, he's a rookie. He's a rookie. Yeah, you, yeah, you top five against those that you played at. Played against in college. But it's grown men down here, man. Ocho, a grown man.
Ocho
Growing pains. I give you a prime example. Go back and look at Garrett Bowles. Garrett Bowles got his ass kicked. For years they tried to run him out of town, turned himself into an all pro. Because you know what? He get his ass kicked. He got holding calls, he got false starts, he got beat. But every, every time he step up to the mic, I gotta play better, guys. Yeah. Now he's the first team all pro. Now he's a premier left tackle in all of football. That's a part of it, Ocho. You've dropped passes, you've had mistakes. I mean, just think about it. When you had your worst game, did you never not talk to the media?
Unk
No, I, you know, I love to talk. Win, lose a draw. You, you, you're going to get something out of me no matter what. Everybody's not built like that. I understand being a pro like you said, but most of the time, especially a young player like that, a rookie, obviously, coming off bad performances back to back to back to back against really good defenses. And.
Uchenna Nwosu
It'S tough.
Unk
It's tough because now you expose and everything's magnified on the biggest stage, on how bad you've actually been. Now, they've been rumbling. There've been rumblings about the officer line being bad, but you didn't see it because it wasn't magnified yet because you kept winning. But obviously the biggest stage, the world is watching. And then you go get your ass whooped consistently for four quarters. That hurts. That hurts. So I kind of understand, especially with being a young player, but, I mean, listen, growing pains. You'll learn from this. You'll get better from this. You were a top five pick for a reason. And I'm sure, listen, you got to get a little stronger. Got to get a little stronger. Especially the allowing. Allowing grown men to move you against your will when you're already anchored down. Nah, that. That, that. That. That can't happen. That can't happen. I don't know who your strengthening and conditioning coach is, but. Oh, that absolutely cannot happen.
Ocho
He. He. He definitely gonna have to get in the weight room. His sets, he give him the edge far too easily. And maybe it was his left leg. But my thing is, Ocho and somebody. I tweeted, I tweeted. Somebody responded to my. He was injured. Well, you don't get credit.
Unk
He was injured. Everybody's injured in the Super Bowl.
Ocho
That's the case, Ocho. You don't get credit for being injured and getting your ass kicked. You only get credit for being injured if you play well. That's the whole purpose. Or sit your ass down. That's the whole point. Nobody's mentioning. If Jordan doesn't play well in the flu game, what was so special about the flu game? Ocho. He had the flu and he flew. Flu poisoning. And he did what he did, right? We're not mentioning this. Kobe with the sprained ankle when he stepped on Jalen Rose. Well, okay, maybe J. Rose slid up under. But if Kobe doesn't play well, we're not having these conversations, right? I. I'm just old school. You ain't gonna always be up. But when you're up, you talk. And when you're down, you talk. And you know what, Ocho? I gotta be better. I wasn't good today. I hurt my team tonight. I cost him. I'm gonna own this. Just like Josh Allen say, I cost my team. Me my mistakes. You gotta do it. It's a part of growing. It's a part of growth. It's a part of my being a professional. You and I. Yeah. We love to talk, but don't think it's just because you love to talk. That thing get easy when you done mumped up.
Unk
Oh, no. Oh, yeah. It get hard now. It get hard. It get hard. I haven't been there. You got another thing. You won way more than I have consistently. So I had to do all my talking most of the time on the losing end. So I was very comfortable being uncomfortable. I got used to that. Got very, very used to being uncomfortable.
Ocho
Yeah. Will Campbell just allowed the most precious 14 in the playoff game since 2018. His 29 pressures follow in a single season. Postseason is the most ever recorded by next gen stats. First round pick. The Patriots terrified Campbell is a bus. No, I don't think he's a bus because he was playing really good. And I don't think arms have anything to do with it. I just think the thing is, is that he needs to get with some really good offensive tackles. Call Big Willie. Call Andrew Whitworth. Call some of the better tackles that are that. And we went to lsu, so I'm sure Whit ain't got no problem helping him.
Unk
Right? But also most of the time, too, when you. When you want to learn from someone that plays your same position, you most. You want to learn from people with your same body type, with your same playing style, you know, because if you go to Big Willie, if you go to Big wit, hell, you talk about Big Willy. Six, six, six, seven. You go to Big Wit. Big Wit six, six, six, six.
Ocho
Ocho.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yes.
Unk
But he's how. He's six six with T. Rex.
Ocho
Are you.
Unk
Are you sure he's six six? Are you sure he's six six, hold on now. They got that. They got to have the measurements wrong because there's no way you. Hell, if you six six, your alarms have. Your arms have to be long in general.
Ocho
Not necessarily.
Unk
That. Don't even say. Now I'm thinking maybe, you know, he was a little on the shorter side if he had short arms. Most of the time that's almost reserved for those that are, you know, 6ft.
Ocho
6 one, 320 pounds with short arms.
Unk
Oh, hell no. Okay, well, I understand. Well, listen, he. Well, how's he gonna punch if you got short arms?
Ocho
Problem? He. He ain't got no his punch. Cause like I said, oo. He has a problem with speed guys. And a lot of guys have with speed guys, but guys that can turn speed to power so they look like they're gonna bend. Bend it and then they bull you and they.
Unk
When he sat down Right over him.
Ocho
They go right over the top of.
Unk
Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Big Willie would be able to help with that.
Ocho
Go, go to wit with two.
Unk
Yeah, absolutely.
Ocho
Because you, you play with wit, right?
Unk
Yeah. Whit was with me in Cincinnati.
Ocho
Yeah, absolutely.
Unk
Yeah.
Ocho
But I mean, some, everybody doesn't have, like, long arms. If, if you look at, like most athletes. If you look at like us, Ocho, we got short torsos, long legs.
Unk
Yeah.
Ocho
You see the way we built you? Same way. From, from, from my, from my waist to my head about this. And then I got long ass, leg and long ass off.
Unk
Yeah, right.
Ocho
But that's, that's the way most athletes are built.
Unk
Right?
Ocho
It's just. Man, look, it's tough, Ocho, because like you said, you're on the biggest stage, 130/something million people watching every. Everybody, Everybody will remember this until you get that taste out of their mouth.
Unk
Yeah.
Ocho
That'S it. I mean, it ain't no secret, Ocho. If you drop a pass, you make a mistake. Until you atone for that, ain't letting that go, Ocho. Tell the chat about your week in San Francisco. How did your live streams go? Oh, my goodness.
Unk
Chat. For those of you that don't know, I'm on Twitch for gaming. But this week in San Francisco, I decided to explore the city, see what San Francisco had to offer. See some of the hills, Golden Gate Bridge. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I loved it. The people were very receptive. My favorite part about San Francisco, and for those of you, I don't know if you're in the chat, but if you ever come to San Francisco, Unc, I told you about Mini Bale soul food restaurant. I'm not sure what area it's in.
Ocho
I missed it.
Unk
Yeah. Many, many bells. I've never, I, I, you know, I love soul food. I travel all over the world. I, I try all type of different cuisines, you know.
Ocho
Well, good. I can't wait. You get on these bull dick and onions that we got whipped up for you in a couple of weeks. Bull dick and onions? Yep.
Unk
Time out, Paul.
Ocho
Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. We gotta find a lady. Ash done found a lady can cook it. We don't find good lady. Could also cook cotton cabbage. Yep, you heard me.
Unk
Cabbage with what?
Ocho
Cow. Hoo ha and cabbage.
Unk
You talk about like the ass.
Ocho
Cow, hoo ha and cabbage.
Unk
Are you talking about like.
Ocho
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. You was like, hold on, Chat. This man just said he like to go different places, try different cuisines. Now, all of a sudden.
Unk
Yeah, but I'm saying just by the names of some of the things that you're saying, those don't sound like delicacies. I like going to places.
Ocho
Yeah.
Unk
Never heard of it. Never. Never heard the chat. Heard of it either.
Ocho
I'm telling you what you think I've been doing. I've been. I've been trying to. I've been locating all these places, and they have no problem accommodating you and.
Unk
I. Oh, oh, so you're gonna eat it?
Ocho
Yes.
Unk
Okay. Well, if you're gonna do it too, I ain't got no problem as long. Long as you. Yeah, as long as you ain't no problem with it. Yes, I'm willing to try anything.
Ocho
Sheep eyeballs and everything. Yes.
Unk
Oh, hey, hey. Little salt and pepper. I ain't wrong with that. Yeah, you listen. Sometimes, hypothetically speaking, if you were stranded on the goddamn island, like goddamn. Like Tom Hanks and Castaway, you had no choice but to eat what they offering us to eat. You gonna eat it, right? So I'm just putting. Mentally, I'm putting myself in the mindset of this is all I have to eat. So I had no. I can't wait.
Ocho
You see that thing on the plate? Them onions spread that thing come out there simmering. That's that steam coming up off it.
Unk
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, as long as it got a little seasoning.
Ocho
But you still know what it is.
Unk
Yeah.
Ocho
Just like when you put. When you throw that dollar whipped cream, it's still the same thing.
Unk
That's fine. Hey, it makes it. They have a little range for me too. Now.
Ocho
You got to get the flavor. I don't want you tasting ranch. I want you tasting the meat.
Unk
Nah, don't. Don't do that. But don't. Don't. Don't do that.
Ocho
If.
Unk
If I'm gonna taste something, allow me to enjoy it by having seasoning.
Ocho
It's gonna be seasoned. They cook it in season. They're cooking in garlic. They cooking the onion. They got all the bell peppers. Yes, yes.
Unk
Yeah, I like that. Yeah. Okay. I might need to add a little.
Ocho
Bit because I know what you're trying to.
Uchenna Nwosu
Listen.
Ocho
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Uchenna Nwosu
Listen.
Unk
My palette. Your palate is a little bit different. My taste buzzing your taste buds.
Ocho

Big ears, pig feet, pig tongue, man, ain't nothing. You know, you gotta challenge me. Challenge me.
Ocho
Oh, yeah.
Unk
Pull a fish out the water. Let's eat him without cooking him.

Ocho
Oh, yo, we saw you line up against Coach Prime. Who won that?
Unk
You know who won that, man. You know, 10 toes against eight, man. You know who won that? Hey, once I. Once I get it. Once I put that coffee up. You know what time it was?
Ocho
Any.

Watching, watching, watching, watching, watching. Oh, he done. He done already. You know why he done. Because he too low.
Ocho
He gonna stab. He gonna stab with that lip because people. People.
Unk
Miss. All right, I'm gonna dip right up under that. I'm gonna dip a shoulder. I' ma pick one side. I'm a dip low. And when he stab, he gonna miss. And him stabbing and missing and gonna push me forward anyway. Hey, man, anytime I see prime chat, y' all know, we gonna. We could be at church, we could be at a funeral. It don't matter where we at, you know, every time we lining up, it don't matter. Man, it's always good to see prime, man. He was in good spirits. Good to see it moving around like that again.
Ocho
Yeah. Considering what he had gone through earlier this year. Yeah. I mean, Last year. Excuse me.
Unk
Yeah, yeah.
Ocho
To see him out there like that. Yeah, it's. He's.
Uchenna Nwosu
He.
Ocho
He. He seemed like prime. Yeah, absolutely seemed like prime.
Unk
Saw Pac man. Saw Dead. I saw Desi Banks. I talked to Drew, I talked to dress. I said, yeah. I say, hey, man, they ate them. The church people on top of you, man. How you feel? Everything good? He said, yeah, yeah, Ocho. But the people got to understand I'm creating content, and I have to pull it from somewhere. I'm in it from somewhere, so I'm not. Why y' all mad at me? And, and you're the inspiration to it.
Ocho
Yeah, y' all mad at me, but y' all study giving that man. Y' all study giving that man. He studied buying Rolls Royces and Bentleys and, and living in mansions and you gotta worry about. I show whole show. Hope I'm able to pay this light bill this month, but y' all mad at a comedian.
Unk
Yeah, I enjoyed it. I. I enjoyed the entire week. I enjoyed the entire week.
Ocho
That was. It was Ocho. Several people around the league believe Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, will eventually give up play calling duties to OC Davis Webb, per Jeremy Fowler. It wouldn't be shocking if that happened. Boy, I want to see that day. Yeah, I want to see that day.
Unk
You don't, you don't think. You believe his dudes stuck in his ways?
Ocho
I do not. Sean Payton, claim to fame, right? Was calling plays?
Uchenna Nwosu
Yes, sir.
Ocho
He called the plays. And Giants, when they, when we beat him in the Super bowl in 2000, called the Plays on coach parcels in Dallas. He called plays all that time in New Orleans and he called the plays. I. I just don't see it happen. I'm not saying that it can't happen. I just said I don't see it happening.
Unk
Does Mr. Wells have any experience calling plays?
Ocho
He got promoted. He was the quarterback's coach. And they fired Pete Carmichael and elevated him. Oh, you know, basically, Pete Carmichael got, You know, he got blamed for the call that Sean Payton made. So. No, I. I just don't see it. I don't see it. And I. I think the thing is he kind of want to get back in that situation and, and to get a do over, because he knows it. I mean, when he lays it, he laid his head on that pillow down that Saturday night. He know he effed up. Yeah, we don't. We don't have to. We don't have to belabor the point, but we will. Cause he effed up. Yeah, but this is what happens this. And, and hopefully Davis Webb comes in and does a great job. I mean, hey, I'm not. I'm not. Look, I would have loved to see the Broncos, but it's not like the Broncos can run the football either. So it had been very difficult. I. I think the thing is the Broncos can get after the quarterback, so it might have been a sack fest, right? I mean, you might have had 4, 13, 14 sacks between the two teams because both teams can get off the rock.
Unk
But even with that, let's say the Broncos were in the position tonight. I mean, you still give the edge to the Seahawks.
Ocho
I agree. I'm. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna fight you on that, Ocho. I'm not gonna fight you on that. But just like it's hard for them old guys. I mean, if you think about it, coach. Coach Landry called plays for the best for the better part of his whole time when he was in. In Dallas, right? So basically from 1960 until 19, what, 88. Damn. So 29 years. It's just. It's just hard, Ocho, when those guys have been calling to give up that kind of control, because that's what you do. You give enough control, then you get mad. Should have run it here, should have threw it there. Just like, why don't you call the plays then?
Unk
Right?
Ocho
And so I don't see it happening. You know, Jeremy Fowler seemed to think that it could happen, but I just don't see it. I don't.
Unk
I don't got to come from somewhere.
Ocho
Yeah. And the thing is, Ocho, is that, you know, you might say that now because guess what? Ain't nobody calling no play. The last play got called tonight, including Clint Kubiak for the Seahawks and Josh McDaniel for the Patriots. So there'll be no plays, no significant plays called until September. We'll see then, right? We'll see if Sean Payton have that. That big ass board and we'll. If you don't have the board, Davis Webb calling the plays on the place. If he has the board. Davis Webb's not calling plays.
Uchenna Nwosu
Right?
Ocho
So it's. It's interesting to see what, what the Broncos are going to do next year. How about this, Ocho? Food prices and beer have been released for Super Bowl 60 at Levi's Stadium. The most expensive burger on the menu was a hammy burger for $180. It's a cheeseburger with a braised bone beef in a rib shank, roasted. My. I don't know Demi glazed something. And point Red's blue cheese fondue on a baked brioche bun. I mean, it looked good, but $180.
Uchenna Nwosu
Yeah.
Ocho
The super bowl, what they gotta do.
Unk
With no show, you understand, There's a markup. There's a markup. They have to be able to make their money. I mean, it's hot.
Ocho
180, Ocho.
Unk
It's the times we in today. I mean, you don't have no problem paying. You don't have no problem paying the price. When you go to Chris Ruth, you don't complain about their prices.
Ocho
Nah, they ain't got no 189. They ain't got no $180 burger.
Unk
I'm just saying. But it's a little, it's a little pricey, it's a little expensive, and I get it.
Ocho
Yes, they have some, some chefs and world renowned chefs preparing some of this stuff, but. Damn right.
Unk
Yeah. And you know, probably if you're a foodie, if you're a content creator, I think spending $180 to test this and film it and create content, I think that would be a great choice if that is something that you would want to do. I kind of get it. 180 bucks. Super bowl experience is a one time thing. I can see somebody and I'm sure somebody did it. You know, somebody that creates content. I'm sure they bought it. I'm sure they ate it.
Ocho
I would like to try.
Unk
Well, it's too late now.
Ocho
No, I'm sure somebody gonna make it. I'm sure somebody got that make it somewhere, right?
Unk
I mean, that, that is a lot for a burger though, huh? 180 bucks.
Ocho
He has a lot of damn money.
Unk
Yeah, it look like three burgers in one. Three patties. Three patties.
Ocho
It ain't no patty. It is not no patties. Oo. You do realize what it is, right? What?
Unk
Okay, maybe I'm. I must have missed something. You said it was a burger, right?
Ocho
That's what they call it, right? Well, I mean, theoretically, I guess if you, you look at it, Ocho, because it's beef, but. Yes, sir, I'm looking at that thing like a, like that big ass bone, that big old Fred Flintstone brontosaurus bone hanging out the top of it.
Unk
Hey.
Ocho
It do look good though, Chad. That burger do look good on it now.
Unk
Yeah, Yeah. A little Swiss cheese coming, you know, dripping down the side. It look good.
Ocho
It look good. And I like brioche. Like who that bun. Brioche. Yeah.
Unk
I'm not.
Ocho
What y' all pay. Chad, how much that burger wore? I mean, I think 50, 60 might be good. 180. Oh, hell, yeah.
Unk
Yeah. You know, it's simply because of the. The.
Ocho
The.
Unk
The.
Ocho
The.
Unk
The festival, okay. Because of the Super Bowl. That's why I was marked up so high.
Ocho
Ocho Ultra premium cocktails would run you $40. Lemonade was $12. Okay.
Unk
That sounded like.
Ocho
See, Ocho. That's why I go to the game. I try to get a burger. A burger, some fries, and lemonade. That's 300.
Unk
Well, you got. You. You got to do like us. You know how our people are. We take what we want to eat and drink in there with us. You take it in with you. When you go to the movies, you don't want to buy snacks. If you got your girl, you can. Depending on what I'm gonna be on the.
Uchenna Nwosu
Depending on her cup size, I'm gonna.
Ocho
Be on the sweet eating that food. Oh, I would be there. That's what I'll be eating. They have some pretty good. They have some pretty good food, depending on whose suite you go to, okay.
Unk
Oh, you gonna sit in the suite. I don't like sitting in the sweet. Huh? I like sitting amongst the people so I can. So I can be a part of the game.
Ocho
I am. That's sitting in the suite. I'm a part of the game. We all in the stadium.
Unk
It ain't the same, Monk. It ain't the same. I'm good. It ain't. It's not the same. Like when I take you to a World cup game. We sitting in the sweet. So you can get. No, we are sitting in the stand so you can get the full experience of being at a. A soccer match, a football game.
Uchenna Nwosu
You got.
Unk
You got to get the true. You can't get the true experience in a goddamn suite. That's for them famous people, man.
Ocho
They need to get me. I need something a little bit more.
Unk
So.
Ocho
180, 240. So 180. 220. Plus fries. Probably 15 for fries, plus some candy. Yeah.
Uchenna Nwosu
300.
Ocho
Nah, hell no. After. You don't play well, I guess. Oh, Joe. They looking at it like, look, you don't pay. At bare minimum, you paid $3,000 just to get in. So what's another 300? Some people pay 5, 10, $15,000 a ticket. So when you pay that, they're like, what the hell you complaining about? For another $300?
Unk
Exactly. Right? They understand the target audience.
Ocho
Yeah, well, at those prices, ain't nobody really complaining Ocho. I mean you can complain all you want to but it's gonna be hard for you to not eat anything for four hours. And I don't know K I ain't never, I'm trying to think. Have I ever seen somebody tailgate at a super bowl? I don't know if I haven't seen that.
Unk
I don't even think the price was so high. I don't think anybody paying to get in the super bowl.
Ocho
I agree. So guess what if you hungry you gonna eat what they gonna eat and you go pay them high ass prices. Yeah. So I guess you, I, I guess you stuck but that do look good. Hey find out where we can get that from. I want to try it Ocho. We can cut it in half. So we cut right down that bone. You get half, I get half.
Unk
Okay. I like that. I like that.
Ocho
Sa.
Host: Shannon Sharpe (Unk) with co-host Chad "Ocho" Johnson (Ocho)
Guest: Uchenna Nwosu (Seattle Seahawks linebacker)
Date: February 11, 2026
This episode focuses on the fallout and highlight moments of Super Bowl LX, with spirited analysis of the record-breaking halftime performance, Seahawks’ dominant defense, and a deep-dive interview with Uchenna Nwosu about his pivotal pick-six. The hosts also discuss Will Campbell’s much-scrutinized postgame reaction, expectations for rookies under intense playoff pressure, and the ongoing evolution of the NFL as a global brand.
Discussion kicks off with Ocho recapping Bad Bunny’s halftime show breaking all previous viewership records (135 million viewers), surpassing both Rihanna (123.4M, 2024) and Kendrick Lamar’s (133.5M, 2025) shows.
Shannon Sharpe ("Unk") highlights the NFL’s strategic push for global cultural diversity, praising the league’s efforts to feature various musical genres and broaden the halftime show's appeal:
“The NFL is trying to grow a consumer market outside just the United States. They want to grow globally. That is the only way... you continue to push the boundaries and include cultural diversity.” (Unk, 00:53)
Discussion of backlash from some fans about the Spanish-language focus and the impossibility of pleasing everyone:
“People are looking for reasons to get offended…You’re not going to please everybody.” (Ocho, 02:55)
Memorable moment: Both hosts describe loving the authentic Puerto Rican visuals and the “vibe” of the performance, even for those not understanding the lyrics.
Sharpe and Ocho analyze why the NFL focuses on international artists and how global sports like soccer and basketball compare.
The conversation transitions to sociopolitical undertones of diversity, DEI, and opportunity.
“No one has benefited more from DEI than white women in America. But we ain’t gonna have that discussion… one day we will.” (Ocho, 07:02)
Series of metaphors about power dynamics:
(Begins ~09:07)
Nwosu reflects on feeling unexpected emotional detachment despite winning:
“Honestly, I’m not feeling how I thought I was gonna feel…The coaches have us wired to where every game is just another game… I just don’t feel like how I thought I would feel.” (Nwosu, 10:34–11:10)
Detailed breakdown of Seattle’s dominance:
Team’s preparation under Coach Mike, including intense study and communication.
The defense’s deliberate aim to be the best in the world and shut down New England’s offense:
“We had our mindset made up: we’re not going to let these guys come out here and do what they did to other teams. We get after Drake, may, we kill their engine ... and we made sure we made that happen.” (Nwosu, 14:00–14:17)
How they exploited weaknesses in the Patriots’ offensive line ("tilapia," i.e., "fish"):
Nwosu breaks down his momentous touchdown:
“Honestly, I didn’t even think. I just caught the ball and just took off running…look left and right, hope I ain’t get caught. No DB, I saw, was good. I was out of there.” (Nwosu, 17:07)
Ocho presses him about a celebration; Nwosu says he usually “hits his squabble” (a dance), but everything was moving too fast.
Ocho discusses rookie left tackle Will Campbell refusing media after a tough, emotional performance.
Sharpe supports the decision, calling for empathy and reminding listeners of the human element:
“If I don’t feel good after losing Super Bowl, I’m not talking…I’m emotionally unavailable at the moment.” (Unk, 25:03–25:21)
Ocho asks whether media access should hinge on winning or losing—“so he only human if they lose?”
The debate turns to professionalism, with Sharpe referencing players like Garrett Bolles owning their bad games and using them to fuel improvement.
“You’re not always going to be up, but when you’re up you talk, and when you’re down you talk…You gotta own it. Just like Josh Allen says, ‘I cost my team.’ It’s a part of growing, of being a professional.” (Unk, 31:05)
Both hosts agree Campbell will grow from this “rookie growing pain” and the scrutiny will fade as he improves.
Rumblings about Payton potentially giving up play-calling to Davis Webb are dismissed by Sharpe:
“Sean Payton’s claim to fame, right? Was calling plays…I just don’t see it happening. Not saying that it can’t. I just don’t see it.” (Ocho, 44:31–45:07)
Emphasis on the difficulty veteran coaches have relinquishing control.
Cultural Inclusion and Music:
“I grooved, the visual effects and the production was over the top. I love how [Bad Bunny] played to his heritage…the guys playing dominoes, the sugar cane, the snow cones...” (Ocho, 03:47–04:27)
On Seattle's Defensive Scheme:
“We kind of knew going into this week, we want to show we was going to be the best defense in the world—which we did.” (Nwosu, 14:00)
On Professionalism and Loss:
“You’re not always going to be up, but when you’re up, you talk. And when you’re down, you talk. And you know what, Ocho? I gotta be better. I wasn’t good today. I hurt my team.” (Unk, 31:05)
On Facing Uncomfortable Situations:
“I got used to being uncomfortable. Very comfortable being uncomfortable.” (Unk, 32:29)
Super Bowl Food:
“It’s a cheeseburger with a braised bone beef in a rib shank, roasted…$180. I mean, it looked good, but $180…” (Ocho, 49:23)
