Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Cincinnati Bengals Trades & Joe Burrow's Future

Timestamp: 02:58–16:12

• Big Topic: The Bengals' recent moves, trading for Dexter Lawrence, and the wider debate over keeping Joe Burrow happy.
• Deebo Samuel’s Take: Upgrades to the D-line are positive, but the Bengals are neglecting Burrow’s protection.
  Quote (04:43):

  “They went and spent a lot of money. ... make you think they cared about you, Joe Burrow. They don’t. If they did, they would have got your God, keep you safe.” — Deebo

• Offensive Line Woes: Both agree the O-line remains a glaring issue for Burrow’s longevity and success.
• Bengals’ Motives Questioned: Are the Bengals truly building for titles or just papering over cracks?
• Steelers Fantasy Trade Pitch: Deebo humorously proposes trading three first-rounders for Burrow to Pittsburgh—with Joe playing along: Quote (08:51):

  “You know what they gonna say? The Browns brown. ... The Bengals bungling. I rock it with that one. Bengals out here bungling.” — Joe

2. Defensive Upgrades, Team Building, and Trade Speculation

Timestamp: 05:33–10:32

• D-line Upgrades vs. Other Defensive Gaps:
  Deebo and Joe discuss the Bengals' new defensive acquisitions but question their secondary and linebacker depth.
• The Value of Franchise QBs:
  Playfully, the pair keep pushing the hypothetical Burrow trade to Pittsburgh, suggesting such a move would “change the trajectory of everything in Pittsburgh” (09:31, Joe).

3. Quarterback Satisfaction & Player Well-being

Timestamp: 10:32–12:58

• Mental Health/Joy in the Game:
  Deebo warns that focusing on just one aspect (talent or defense) might not be enough—Burrow’s love of the game could fade if he keeps getting hit, regardless of salary. Quote (11:14):

  “How to find your joy when you, you know, $40, $50 million a year, and you ain’t even got no joy. That’s why they say money ain’t everything, Joe.” — Deebo

4. NFL Draft, Next Gen, and the Manning Legacy

Timestamp: 13:14–14:50

• Lighthearted Digression:
  Short discussion about the ages and potential of Peyton and Archie Manning’s sons and the future of young QBs.

5. Protecting Quarterbacks & O-line Frustrations

Timestamp: 15:15–15:36

• Classic Complaint:
  Deebo and Joe return to a core point—protecting franchise quarterbacks is still the most important, and in Cincinnati, that protection is lacking: Quote (15:18):

  “You got to get people that can block for your quarterback. This man out here running for his life. ... Can’t even get that, man.” — Deebo

---

6. First Pitch Fails & Sports Humiliation

Timestamp: 15:37–23:29

• Malik Willis' Baseball Embarrassment:
  Laughter over Dolphins QB Malik Willis’ botched ceremonial first pitch.
• Joe Haden’s Baseball Nightmare:
  Joe recounts a story from his youth—smashed in the head by a comically over-aged Dominican “12-year-old.”
  Memorable Story (18:41):

  “Dominican 12. So he’s probably 16. ... And I’m 12. ... He smacks the ball ... hits me right in the side of my head, Deebo, puts me to bed. I’m sleep.” — Joe

7. Flag Football Absurdities & Youth Sports

Timestamp: 25:13–28:46

• Live Bullets:
  The guys joke about coaching (flag) football under strict “no blocking” rules—satirizing the neutered version of the sport. Quote (26:57):

  “You can’t even block nobody, but it’s live bullets.” — Deebo

8. Fan Mail & Reflections on Career Highlights

Timestamp: 29:13–31:01

• Best Steelers Moments:
  Joe’s Top Play: Intercepting Tom Brady in primetime. Quote (29:45):

  “When I picked off Tom Brady on that night game ... I was able to show my bunnies ... that 40-inch vertical.” — Joe
  Deebo’s Top Memory: The iconic pick-six in Super Bowl 43.

9. NBA Greats, Debates, & Top 5s

Timestamp: 35:32–55:16

• NBA Finals Predictions:
  The duo debates possible NBA Finals matchups. Joe’s wish list: Cavs vs. Lakers, but predicts OKC to win it all.
• GOAT Debates:
  Consensus: Michael Jordan #1, LeBron James #2.
  Quote (37:18):

  “If people say Michael Jordan is the best player, I am not going to argue at all. But if you say LeBron isn’t your second best player, I can’t have a con..., then I don’t wanna. What are we talking about?” — Joe

• Top 5 Basketball Players:
  Joe: Bron, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Steph.
  Deebo: Jordan, Bron, then open to Kobe/Shaq.
  They agree that personally witnessed performances matter more than stats for “all-time” lists.

10. Toughest Opponent Stories

Timestamp: 56:22–58:10

• Joe’s Pick: Anquan Bolden—strength and physicality as a wideout made games “hell.”
  Quote (56:28):

  “Because he was so strong. He was trying to block ... just kept on grabbing me ... trying to drive me out of bounds. I’m like, bruh, do you got a problem with me?” — Joe

• Deebo: No single nemesis, but acknowledges the grind of the game and respect for the toughest “workers.”

Amazon Health AI presents painful thoughts why

[Joe]

did I search the Internet for answers

[Deebo Samuel]

to my cold sore problem?

[Joe]

Now I'm stuck down a rabbit hole filled with images of alarmingly graphic sores in various stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but

[Deebo Samuel]

I can never unsee that. Don't go down the rabbit hole. Amazon Health AI gets you the right care fast. Healthcare just got less painful. We're going over here to Cincinnati. Man the Bangles Dexter Lawrence trade Praised by NFL exec no price on keeping Joe Burrow Happy an anonymous NFL exec told the Athletic that it was a necessary move to keep quarterback Joe Burrow happy, saying, this is like the NBA when you are trying to acquire guys to keep your star, who is going to leave happy? It is. Is it expensive? Sure. But there is no price on keeping Burrow happy. Drafting Ruben Bane doesn't make Burrow happy.

[Joe Haden]

Joe. Yes,

[Deebo Samuel]

they think that this is going to make Joe happy. Okay, it may make him happy. If they're able to get out there and actually stop some offenses from running the ball up and down the field. Yes, it may. If they're able to stop them from scoring so many points, it may make him happier. But it's not, it's not going to guarantee that. Because what did they do to fix

[Joe Haden]

the offensive line for his protection?

[Deebo Samuel]

That's what they do to protect you, Joe Burrow. What did they do to stop you from getting hit so much?

[Joe Haden]

Nothing.

[Deebo Samuel]

They went and spent a lot of money. They gave up high picks to show show make you think they cared about you, Joe Burrow. They don't. They don't because they did. They would have got you.

[Joe Haden]

That's what tackle got your God keep you safe.

[Deebo Samuel]

We'll see. We'll see how it goes. I don't want you, I don't want you to lose your love for the game again in the middle of the season, you know?

[Joe Haden]

Yeah.

[Deebo Samuel]

Hey, but hey, I will give you this. They did upgrade on the D line.

[Joe Haden]

They damn sure they got.

[Deebo Samuel]

They got Dexter Lawrence, they got Jonathan Allen, they got a boy, whatever that last name is. And you know that's. That's good. They upgraded they D line.

[Joe Haden]

Yes, but

[Deebo Samuel]

where the linebackers at? I think they just lost the boy Wilson. Right? Where your linebackers at? Who gonna make the tackles, huh? Who gonna make the tackles? Joe Burrow. They not trying to keep you happy. They trying to shut you up. They just trying to keep you there one game at a time. They don't want to see you back in the super bowl because if they Did. They would have did everything necessary to make that happen, Joe. Yep. Burrow come holler at your boy. Listen, we got it in the makings over here. It's sitting here waiting. It's waiting for someone like you to come here and plop and go get you that ring you couldn't get in Cincinnati.

[Joe Haden]

Well, why you out there talking? I'm telling you.

[Deebo Samuel]

Last piece of the puzzle, Joe Burrow. Last piece of the puzzle.

[Joe Haden]

They trying to do a little something, getting Joe Burrow some defense like you said, so they don't score a thousand points on them. But if you keep getting hit upside the head and can't stand on your feet, then are they really helping you out? So I'm with you, Debo. I'm loving that they trying to make the defense better because the defense getting ran up and down all over the place. So hopefully they're trying to get the defense right. But you can't. You got. I'm more. Obviously, you need some D line. You need some. They need a defense.

[Deebo Samuel]

Maybe they need a consultant, too.

[Joe Haden]

They must. They need that. You know what? They should take money that we got. Go ahead and consult. I'll go ahead and swap them. Smooth.

[Deebo Samuel]

I don't think they that foolish.

[Joe Haden]

You know, they need to get a damn. They need to get some line for

[Deebo Samuel]

the Browns, for the owners. For the. For the Bangles. The Browns for the owners of the Bangles. They don't brown like the Browns do.

[Joe Haden]

Brown's brown.

[Deebo Samuel]

Mr. Brown don't brown. But Mr. Brown. Hey, listen, this is a. This is a business move, and I think it's. It's a great business decision for you. Would you take three first for Joe? We willing to trade in the future. You give you three first. Let me know. Let me know. Yo, tell him. Go tell him three first. And you. Hey, we give up three first. And guess what? You get three titles back to back to back. Boy, that bring your love back. That bring your love back.

[Joe Haden]

You know what you gonna say? The Browns Brown. And they say that I got my. The Bengals bungling. I rock it with that one. Bangles out here bungling.

[Deebo Samuel]

Hey, you know what they say? Misery Love company. Misery love company.

[Joe Haden]

Misery love company. I need somebody else to be.

[Deebo Samuel]

Yeah, you need somebody else.

[Joe Haden]

Browning and bungling all over the place. Cause I'm sick right now. They did it to me on the show. Deebo, you saying I'm in real time. I'm like this. Why.

[Deebo Samuel]

Why?

[Joe Haden]

We needed to send them over there so they could bundle. And then Deebo telling me we Browning. Get out of here, man.

[Deebo Samuel]

Y', all. Browning. Joe, listen, I'm gonna tell you right now, three of them first.

[Joe Haden]

Three of them first for Burrow would change the trajectory of everything in Pittsburgh.

[Deebo Samuel]

Everything.

[Joe Haden]

Everything.

[Deebo Samuel]

Three of them.

[Joe Haden]

Three of them.

[Deebo Samuel]

And we ain't gonna give up nothing but three at the bottom because we winning.

[Joe Haden]

Three. 20, 20, 21, 21.

[Deebo Samuel]

Three seconds.

[Joe Haden]

Three seconds. Basically.

[Deebo Samuel]

Basically giving up. Three seconds. We got 1, 2, 3. Come up out of there. Sitting with nine. Nine in Pittsburgh. Nine of them things. Lord. Hey, y.

[Joe Haden]

The more and more. Look, all we can hope for is that defense. They don't do well. Joe Burrow, I think he's. He's halfway now because they really trying to make him happy, and they mess around and don't make him happy this year. He's still getting hit. Debo, it's starting to turn. I think you might have been. You was a year early, but you on to something, Coach, I didn't think. Because they would never try to let Joe Burrow go, but he might literally be like, no, I can't win right now.

[Deebo Samuel]

I can't win here, Joe. I ain't early, baby. I'm right on time. Hey, it ain't gonna always happen when you want it to happen. It's gonna happen in the Lord's time. And this is something I feel like the Lord don't put his hands on, man. Joe, what. What you want to do, Burrow? Hey, you want to be sitting in the locker room again at the end of a season, puffing on a cigar? Hey, I want to be there with you. I want to see you doing it. I want to be doing it with you. We want to be doing it with you. Bring.

[Joe Haden]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna have a cigar for sure.

[Deebo Samuel]

You can keep sitting there and trying to figure out how to get your joy, but how to get your love back. How to find pleasure. That's bad. How to find your joy when you, you know, 40, $50 million a year, and you ain't even got no joy. That's why they say money ain't everything, Joe.

[Joe Haden]

No, it's for sure.

[Deebo Samuel]

Money and everything.

[Joe Haden]

It is. There's nothing that black and gold is. I can go yellow.

[Deebo Samuel]

Black and yellow.

[Joe Haden]

Black and yellow. Get Joe Burrow. It's a rap.

[Deebo Samuel]

Hey, I'm just saying it ain't. I want it. Hey.

[Joe Haden]

Yes.

[Deebo Samuel]

I'm just. I could possibly. I ain't. I ain't a consultant. A consultant.

[Joe Haden]

Off.

[Deebo Samuel]

Okay. I am not employed the Pittsburgh Stillers at all. They do not pay Me, no money at all. You see my eyes wide open. No wink on that. Okay. Nah. But, you know, they say you got to speak it into existence. I'm just. That's all I'm trying to do, man.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah, I see. I respect it. Hey, you don't got to believe out of me. It started off a little shaky at the beginning. I'm like, how is this, Deebo? Just throwing stuff up against the wall. Your body think I'm throwing something against the wall? I did. For real, bro. But now the more and more it's happening, the more and more it's like, oh, burrow. Really might leave Cincinnati. Like, he's not happy. Okay. I know we know some places that can make you happy, my good brother.

Oh, is he slip?

[Deebo Samuel]

It's so far away, bro.

[Joe Haden]

That's just a bag.

[Deebo Samuel]

Like a slip did that.

[Deebo Samuel]

Is that what it is?

[Joe Haden]

He trying to throw the ball too hard? He out there thinking you're a quarterback. You're not a. I don't know if he's a pitcher or not, but I've done the first pitch, and you just. It's farther than it looks.

[Deebo Samuel]

I was gonna ask you if you did a first pitch.

[Joe Haden]

Yes. Yes. And I got it right out there, Deebo, and you just need to get it there. Don't be trying to sit there and be a professional pitcher trying to bullet it all that. No.

[Deebo Samuel]

Did you practice?

[Joe Haden]

Yes, I practiced. I went to the back. The little duck. Yeah, I went to the little back room.

[Deebo Samuel]

I'm saying, how long before did you practice?

[Joe Haden]

Oh, five minutes.

[Deebo Samuel]

No, see, I ain't gonna lie. If they ever call me to throw out the first pitch, bruh, I am going to.

[Joe Haden]

You're gonna be there four hours before, like, a game?

[Deebo Samuel]

No, bro, I'm going to practice for a whole week on a mound.

[Joe Haden]

That's the other part, too. Yes, the mouth.

[Deebo Samuel]

40 pitches a day, you're standing straight down. You gotta come down to it.

[Joe Haden]

Yes.

[Deebo Samuel]

You gotta come down on it.

[Joe Haden]

That was gotta.

[Deebo Samuel]

Come on. I'm trying to tell you.

[Joe Haden]

Listen, if you're not used to it, you're gonna throw it into the dirt, and it's gonna bounce before it gets to him. And then you'll be embarrassed.

[Deebo Samuel]

I'm trying to. That's why I'm go practice. Because I gotta go out there and I gotta slang that thing.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah.

[Deebo Samuel]

I gotta. I gotta put it straight down the middle. You know what I'm saying? Or maybe you're gonna do the whole. I'm gonna let him know I'm gonna throw that thing like. Like low on the corner right there,

[Joe Haden]

leg up the curveball.

[Deebo Samuel]

Maybe I give him with an inside out curve.

[Joe Haden]

Okay?

[Deebo Samuel]

Like, I got some nasty pictures that I've been thinking about in my head. I don't know if I can actually throw them, but I got some. I done seen them. Maybe a bird will come across like Randy Johnson. And I just made it explode on the way to the mound.

[Joe Haden]

Let me tell you this. I played baseball for all of one month when I was in, probably 12 years old. Cause I was football, basketball. And then my dad was like, yo, Jake, you know what? You could. Because I was quarterback. He's like, you know what, son, you need to go ahead and play baseball. So they go put me on this all star baseball team, okay? So I'm up there and I'm playing quarterback. So now they're like, oh, so you play quarterback? Oh, so you can pitch? I'm like, yeah, I could pitch. So I'm in this joint, Debo. I'm slinging it.

[Deebo Samuel]

Yeah.

[Joe Haden]

Letting it go. Then they bring up my boy, this dude, I don't remember his name, but he's probably in the major league baseball. He's probably in the professional baseball right now. This dude, 12 years old, he's in the home. He's the champion for the home run.

[Deebo Samuel]

Was he a Dominican 12 or was he like 12?

[Joe Haden]

Dominican 12. So he's probably 16. Okay? He drove to practice. That's all I'm telling you. He drove to practice. And I'm 12 years old. So Deebo, I'm in the jump, be in the pitcher. I stomp, choom. Give him one. It was out of the zone. He didn't swing. Second pitch. I throw with everything I got. Bomb. He smacks the ball. I think the ball goes over my head. I look quick, I look back. Wham. Hits me right in the side of my head. Deebo puts me to bed. I'm sleep.

I walk in the house, I'm crying. I'm like, mom and dad, I never want to play baseball again. They're like, son, you don't ever have to play. They let me stay home from school for the week because my ear was literally the size of my head. I'm not going to school like this. Ari got big ears. No, let me stay home for the week, bruh. Never played baseball again. Seriously. Hey, bruh, look, man, that ain't no joke, man. That baseball knocked me out. Put your boy too bad.

[Deebo Samuel]

Why did you look away so fast?

[Joe Haden]

The way that he hit that ball, it sounded like it went over the fence immediately. Wow. I was like this. Whoa.

[Deebo Samuel]

Wow, bro. You supposed to see you throwing the ball. You supposed to see it come off the back before you do anything. Like, you got to make sure.

[Joe Haden]

Debo, I did not know what I did not know, and that's why I was there. I. I said a month. I played that I played for a week. I didn't even go to a game. That was practice. And Buddy knocked me out, and I was like, I'm not playing this anymore.

[Deebo Samuel]

I want to say it's 90ft. Base to base, it's 60ft.

[Joe Haden]

Okay, okay. That. That's that, right? That seems like it makes sense.

[Deebo Samuel]

Anybody in the chat, how far is it from the home mound to the. From the pitcher mound to the home plate.

[Joe Haden]

60ft sounds good. 90ft sounds right. From base to base.

[Deebo Samuel]

I think base to base is 90ft. Maybe in major league it might be a little longer. I don't know. I want to say it's 60.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah, he gotta chill.

[Deebo Samuel]

60ft. 6 inches, Joe.

[Joe Haden]

Live bullets.

[Joe Haden]

You can't impede the rusher, but it's

[Deebo Samuel]

loud bullets out there. Well, my kids was doing the flag thing, you know, originally when they first started, because I wouldn't let them play contact till I, you know, until I could see what was going on.

[Joe Haden]

[Deebo Samuel]

So they out there and I'm like. I'm like, yo, go block somebody. What y' all doing? They like, we ain't allowed to block. I'm like, what?

[Joe Haden]

On your.

[Deebo Samuel]

On your chest like this. And you. You can't. Like, that's how you get blocked.

[Joe Haden]

So you gotta shield. You gotta basically like just shield people.

You just tell them, we gotta tell them. Stand there, just freeze. Cause you get to running after your teammate, they saying you getting all in the way of other people. They get to throwing flags at you. I'm like, this. Guys, if you see my man Jackson with the ball, don't move. You see Wes with the rock, Just stand there. Freeze. Freeze. You gotta freeze.

[Deebo Samuel]

So. So you say, okay, Seagull beat the Lakers.

[Joe Haden]

Oh, yeah. No. Yes. I don't want it to happen. But if you want to say.

[Deebo Samuel]

Talk about. Once you talk about LeBron James. LeBron James, you go.

[Joe Haden]

You go. Because. No, no, because they don't have it. They don't have. They're not fully. They're not fully loaded. They don't have Luca. They don't have Luca. I mean, if Bron does this, then people need to be. I mean, if Bron goes and wins the. Come on, Deebo. If Bron's. What you gonna say? If Bron wins this ship? Is he the goat? Is he your goat? Then? No, he's still gonna. Is he second? Is he your second best player?

[Deebo Samuel]

I told you, I give him second.

[Joe Haden]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Deebo Samuel]

My bad, my bad.

[Joe Haden]

I keep remembering. Cause I had a heated conversation yesterday. I'm like, if people say Michael Jordan is the best player, I am not going to argue at all. But if you say LeBron James isn't your second best player, I can't have a con, then I don't wanna. What are we talking about?

[Deebo Samuel]

I'll give him a second. Yeah, I'll give him a second. Give him two. I give you two. Ain't tripping. That's hometown, you know, That's Akron, bro.

[Joe Haden]

And two. You know what I'm saying, man, it's so many. It's all. It's NBA. It's all time best players ever. So I'm not gonna have to knock Michael Jordan to up LeBron and I won't have to knock Braun up Jordan. If you say Jordan's better than LeBron in their opinion. Cool. That's your opinion.

[Deebo Samuel]

Right, right, right. So you got who again?

[Joe Haden]

I got. I got LeBron James just past MJ and then MJ's right here. And after that, then we could.

Tennessee King. 423. $5. Thank you very much. Happy birthday, Debo. And the highlight of your Steelers day for me was doing the Cleveland Clowns quarterback. Real Steeler, like. Yes.

[Joe Haden]

So the highlight was me sacking and hitting my friends.

[Deebo Samuel]

I don't know if that's the highlight they're talking about. They may be talking about the fan I slammed.

[Joe Haden]

Or it could.

[Deebo Samuel]

Or it could be, like the quarterbacks that I put to sleep. Cribs. No, Cribs was a receiver, but I was a receiver. He was running cold.

[Joe Haden]

And Muhammad Massaqua.

[Deebo Samuel]

Massaquai. Yeah. I put them to sleep and then I was.

[Joe Haden]

I don't know.

[Deebo Samuel]

Quarterback. My first sack was actually against one of y' all quarterbacks. I think it was. Was Garcia. I think it might have been. Yeah, I think it was.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Good work. Debo out there just looking scary with the dark visor. Hey, bro, listen, that joint was vicious, though. Deep. I ain't gonna lie to you. The dark visor was everything, brother. Was everything.

[Deebo Samuel]

It's everything, bro.

[Joe Haden]

Everything.

[Deebo Samuel]

I thought the stair was. I thought them just look. I thought me just looking at him not saying nothing worse. That's what I'm saying was even worse.

[Joe Haden]

It was the visor. You was already looking scary and like, my man Travis Kelce was like. And he's just. He was talking about a time when you just looking at him and not saying nothing. That's the scary part.

[Deebo Samuel]

No, because I'm. I'm trying not to explode. I'm like, all right, I'm just gonna wait. And then after I put something on him, then I'm gonna let him know.

[Joe Haden]

You put something on them, Debo. You knocked him out, and then you still didn't say nothing. You just stared at him.

[Deebo Samuel]

Nah, I had to say something. I had to say something. I had to say something. Covenant life. She back again. Five dollars, Joe. I told the Falcon fans, why are you tripping with my gear? Win some chips, and we'll we and you will understand my passion. May 28th is still his day. May 28th is stillers day. Still hers day

[Joe Haden]

show.

[Deebo Samuel]

Oh, I think that's the women's camp.

[Joe Haden]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Deebo Samuel]

Yeah, it's still hers day through the women's camp. You coming to do the women's camp, Joe?

[Joe Haden]

May 20th. I didn't know about it. Are you going?

[Deebo Samuel]

I ain't know about it either.

[Joe Haden]

See, we'll see.

[Deebo Samuel]

Right now I'm not still his love. $5 said. What's happening, guys? Just curious. What type of teammate was Kendrell Bell? Debo, the defense. That defense back then used to hang. It says the but back then used to hang so tight together off the field. Bell was like, the first dude that ever, I believe, started on Dick LeBeau's defense as a rookie. And how Coach LeBeau did that and made that transpire was they started doing, like, the gap Mac defenses. So it was like, gap, Mac knife, sword, gun, all that. So you tell the Mac backer to hit this gap, that gap. So he was just blitzing. You get him out the way. You ain't got to make him sit there and think with all the motions that's going on and. And do that. Dude, he could lift. He could hit a player. Dude, just lift that boy with one hand. Like, come down on this. On the center, the guard. Boom. I mean, press the line. Dude, it was crazy.

[Joe Haden]

See?

[Deebo Samuel]

He was good, bro. Yeah, he was good.

[Joe Haden]

That's good. That's good stuff. Oh, yeah, brother. Debo Calvesante.

[Deebo Samuel]

Where? Yeah,

[Joe Haden]

Calves and seven.

[Deebo Samuel]

Let's go.

[Joe Haden]

All right, brother.

[Deebo Samuel]

We got. He said, hell no. He. He Pittsburgh stellar for life. $5. Hey. He said he a Pittsburgh stealing for life.

[Joe Haden]

Who?

[Deebo Samuel]

So he said, forget about Joe Burrow. And Quincy Thur said, listen, we forget about Joe Burrow, but

[Joe Haden]

what we go

[Deebo Samuel]

do is never close the door to an opportunity.

[Joe Haden]

Yes.

[Deebo Samuel]

That could give us something that we ain't had since we had seven.

[Joe Haden]

Yep.

[Deebo Samuel]

Okay. So with that being the case, we ain't gonna never, ever, ever close the door unless we get another franchise quarterback. Then we slammed the door closed. But then we don't know what we got in two of the guys that we have right now. One of the guys, we don't know if he'll even be back. And he's older, so he's going to give us a year. And the other. I know we don't have nothing there. And that is Rudolph.

[Joe Haden]

So you saying we got at least give Drew and Will. We got two to see what they gonna do, bro.

[Deebo Samuel]

Drew and Will. If. If Aaron come backs or when Aaron comes back, however they. You want to look at her, say he gone.

[Joe Haden]

Who gone?

[Deebo Samuel]

Mason gone. Oh, yeah.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah.

[Deebo Samuel]

[Joe Haden]

[Joe Haden]

That was just in the. Everybody got their own. You know what I'm saying? Pick that poison somebody. Then the older heads, when they go. Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, I didn't see them with my own eyes, so it's hard for me to. When they. When older people that. When they put their tops.

[Deebo Samuel]

[Joe Haden]

Okay, who's three? Who's three?

[Deebo Samuel]

Like I said, when you walk into that three spot, you can go. You can go. You know, you can go. Kobe, Shaq. From there.

[Joe Haden]

See, there's a little Magic Johnson. I didn't see magic.

[Deebo Samuel]

I didn't really see magic like that either.

[Joe Haden]

Coming to life is back again. She said chat asked the question, what player did you dislike the most? And you knew the game was gonna be hell. I ain't really had nobody that I, you know, I dislike. I knew the game was gonna be hell. Like

[Joe Haden]

I would say, for me, it was Anquan Bolden.

[Deebo Samuel]

Why you ain't like him?

[Joe Haden]

Because he was so strong. He was trying to block.

[Deebo Samuel]

That was before you was lifting weights.

[Joe Haden]

Yes, that was before. That was when I was victim weight. That was when I was a young bull. I was my rookie season. He just kept on grabbing me when it was a run play and trying to drive me out of bounds. I'm like, bruh, do you got a problem with me? But it was just. That's what he did. He didn't matter.

[Deebo Samuel]

Yo, it's my job, bro.

[Joe Haden]

That's my job. I'm going hat and hands you, and I'm gonna try to drive you out of bounds. And that's the one when I'm like this, okay, I have a problem with Anquan Bolden because he is too strong and he keeps trying to drive me out of bounds.

[Deebo Samuel]

Yeah, I ain't like. I ain't gonna lie, man. I ain't had no. I ain't had no problems like that. I ain't had no games. That was hell. Hell to me is physically being like that, man. Putting their hands on you. You can't get them off you.

[Joe Haden]

They look.

[Deebo Samuel]

That's the worst. I ain't. I never had no hell. I never had no hell. I ain't gonna say that.

[Joe Haden]

Yeah, it would.

[Deebo Samuel]

I never been fighting for my life.

[Joe Haden]

Fighting for my life.

[Deebo Samuel]

I ain't gonna never fight.

[Joe Haden]

I was fighting for my life. Dead ass. I felt like I was in a physical fight with him. I was like this. I'm like, this man really doesn't like me.

[Deebo Samuel]

Hey, hey. That's what it felt like.

[Joe Haden]

It felt like he really had problems with me, bro. Like, what's this?

[Deebo Samuel]

Did I do something? I'm trying to figure it out. They wouldn't do.

[Joe Haden]

[Deebo Samuel]

Nah, people, hey, hey. That's the difference between playing the game and your life is the game. That's how you make your living. No, he was out there trying to eat.
