Let's take a listen to his comments after the game.
Lamar Jackson
First half I had two costly turnovers. Me not holding the safety, me just knowing the coverage, me knowing it was mad throw a BS interception Gabe. We it was 77 at the time. I believe they scored after that battle back fumble snap trying to make something happen. I knew couldn't throw it was like a RPO play so I couldn't really throw the ball to likely, you know the office line down the field. So I was trying to make something happen. Tried to squeeze the ball, slipped out my hand. Von Miller picked it up, got some yards back that led to points for them. So it's a team effort out there. You know he been busting his behind making plays have knocked down that field for us. Came up short and like I've been saying all season every time we in situations like this turnovers play a factor. Penalties play a factor today. Well tonight the turnovers can't have that shit. You know. And that's why we lost the game because as you can see moving the ball wonderfully is hold on to the ball. I'm sorry for my language. This shit annoying.
Unknown
Tired of this very frustrating. Yeah cause like I said I believe he think there's sometimes you lose Ocho and you like you can lose and like we should have won this game but I'm not so sure we're the better team.
Right.
I believe deep down to a man Ravens believe they're the better team yeah, we played them early in the year. Nothing changed. They got the same players. We got the same players. The location really shouldn't matter because Ocho, we've lost games like on our super bowl run. Ocho. Every team that beat us, we lost to Kansas City. In Kansas City in the regular season. Right. Come back in the playoffs, beat him because we felt we were the better team. Pittsburgh beat us in Pittsburgh during the regular season. We went back and got that ass.
Yeah.
Because we felt we was the better team. And Mike showed us, you don't turn the ball over. Think about this here. You don't turn the ball over here. We don't give them extra possessions. If we don't turn the ball over, that team can't beat us. While you bull driving, he right.
Yeah. And most of the time, it don't hit you till after effect.
You're not thinking about O.G. you're right. But when he. When he showed us those clips, Ocho, we watching it. He said, look at this right here. If we hold this block a little longer. Timber. What's gonna happen? Seven's gonna hit, 84. He gonna hit. Look at Rock. Look at Rod come free on this play. Hey, you get your head inside across this. Look at this gap the TD got to run through, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. Ah. Okay. Pittsburgh. We got something for y'all ass. Are we coming back to get that? And with a Super bowl birth on the line. And that's what we. That's the way we approached it. Hey, we don't turn the ball over against Kansas City. They can't beat us with that pedestrian ass offense. They can't beat us. No, they can't. They can't.
Wait, matter of fact, I got a question.
Yeah.
Was Priest Hulk. No, that. That's too n. I played against Priest.
Priest was on our super bowl team in Baltimore.
Okay, okay.
And then. And then he was a free agent. He goes to Kansas City. But what y'all saw Priest do in Kansas City, he's doing practice.
Yeah. Hey, Priest.
We put Priest in the game. Priest was. Priest was just like that, what you saw him do. I said, oh, he gonna be special. I said, lord have mercy. I sure wish we could keep him.
Listen, he had one of the prettiest running. Running styles and running forms. Him and Iman Green, the Priest. But it was nice.
He like. Hey, he like Shay. I had to baptize him, but he was a good man. I hate. I hate that he had that injury, Ocho. Cause, you know, he had a very similar injury to What Bo Jackson had.
Bo Jackson had y.
A very similar injury. Same thing. Hip popped out of socket. He was able to come back once, but he was never the same. It wasn't to the extent, but it was very similar injury. But you could hear Lamar talking. You could hear the frustration. Obviously, the NFL would like it if he didn't curse, but like he said, man, I'm sorry for my language. And the frustration is built up because the finality of it. Ocho, they get them trash bags tomorrow.
Yeah.
Lamar's going to be at the super bowl, and he ain't going to be a participant in it. He wanted to be at the Super Bowl, Ocho. And then at the honors, they have him. He's in a conference room, and he's talking about, congratulations, you know, hey, I want to thank everybody that voted for me, the team. This is a team mvp. My teammates. Derrick Henry, the offensive line coach, harms. Believing in. That's what he wanted. He wanted to do that. He wanted to do that. He wanted to do that interview. Ocho. Yeah. Via Zoom.
Yeah.
I don't want to be there in front of that audience to hold that trophy up. I don't want to do that. I want to thank y'all. I want the trophy to be sitting beside me. I want to hold a trophy up from my room, from the conference room and have my offensive lineman and have my teammates behind me.
Right.
That's what I wanted. So it's bittersweet. I. I could. I could. And see, the thing is, with him, I noticed with, like, when he gets, like, frustrated, he start bouncing, start going side to side. He starts. So he really. He's really agitated.
Hot.
Yeah. Yes. I. I could. I could. I could tell people keep commenting that I never like Lamar. I implore you to go watch. Oh, hold on. Can we put that up there? There's this now play that.
Let him. Let him. Let him listen to that.
I can't. I can't. I can't because it's because of somebody else's. Somebody is. It's undisputed.
So we. We get back in the same kind of. Kind of issue again.
Yeah.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Oh, they definitely go do that me, boy.
Okay.
But if you go back and look at the. I can't even put. I cannot put it up on my own in my own. Hold on.
I. I could put it up, though, right?
Oh, yeah. On your ig.
Yeah, forget ig. Everybody that's watching this on Twitter, all them follow me on Twitter right now, anyway, so I could just say this is what Shannon's talking about. Listen to this real quick.
Yes.
Okay, hold on. I'm gonna do that real quick.
This ain't got, this ain't got nothing to do with like or dislike. Right? I'm just giving you the fact with a guy just like Jared Goff. So I guess I didn't like Jared Golf because I pointed out he turned the ball over. That led to them losing the game. I mentioned the drops by Andrews. He's going to be the, he's going to probably be even more disappointed than, than, than, than Lamar. He had a big drop. He had a fumble. That led the point. Yeah. Led to three points. He had to drop the two point conversion. So he's going to be. But I, I let. Look, they said that when I used to kill Tony Romo, I didn't like white quarterbacks. I kill Aaron Rodgers, I don't like quarterback. I killed Baker, I didn't like black white quarterback. If I say something about, oh, I don't like black, I hate my own people. So I can think of doing something right. Because y'all say, I don't really like anybody. When Mahomes doesn't play well, I point that out. Have I not pointed out that Mahomes didn't play well? Of course, turnovers help you lose a ball game. My point was people like, well, you didn't like Joe Burrow. It ain't got nothing to do with, like I'm saying, his turnovers is costing his team. It doesn't matter how well you play. If you turn the ball over, you gonna lose. Go back and look at Lamar. Ash, how many, how many yards did Lamar have in his first playoff game against the Titans? He, I think he had over 500 yards of total offense. Like he had like 300 passing. Go back and get, go back and give me Lamar's first. But he had turnover his first playoff game against the Tennessee Titans. They were, they. That was the first year that he won the mvp. Bear with us just a second. But he. Remember Ocho, that was the year he had 36 and six.
Yeah.
No, no, no. Not his first and second year. The year he won the mvp. The first game he started halfway through the season. They ended up losing to, they lost to the Chargers. Ocho. The Chargers put like four safeties on the field to match his speed.
Matter of fact, for those of you.
That put it up, put it on the iPad, Ash, Go ahead. What are you saying, Ocho?
No, I'm saying for those of you that in the chat to give you better context. Better context on what Unk had to say about Lamar Jackson. For those of you that feel he doesn't like him because he's critical of him when he doesn't play well, I just tweeted it out. Short YouTube clip. If you have opportunity, even while you're watching here, you can go. Go to my Twitter page, my Twitter, to my X page. It's the last thing I tweeted. And just listen to the things he had to say once Lamar got drafted and really basically everything unseared, you know, before it even happened, kind of turned and came into fruition. So you. You can. You can listen to it real quick, and that'll give you a better assessment on how he feels about Lamar, despite him being critical when he doesn't play well.
But that. That ruined the argument, though. Oo. And then you won't have anything to say. You can't get. You won't get to say. You won't get to say. Buck dancing. Untom. Cooning. Yeah. Won't step and fetch. See, they won't get to say that. I got that. I got. I've got to keep. I've got to stick with the Twitter. Give me his rush, y'all. Give me his rush thing, too. Also Ash, then Ocho. I won't be able to follow the Twitter mob. See, we a mob. We got to stick together. See, if I don't. See if the Twitter mob don't like Unk, I can't like Unk either. So let's just go with that. Now, when Unk was the only one on television speaking up for George Floyd.
Yeah.
I ain't hear him say nothing. When Unc was the only one. When Skip and I was talking about Colin Kaepernick every day when everybody else went away from it.
Right.
We were talking about it. Unc don't like black people. Unc don't have his own people that see y'all. Y'all don't want to do the research and look at it and say, well, damn, I see what he's saying. It's an update. Your resume. League. That's what sports is. You don't get to be you. Don't you. It wasn't like you could have. Okay. I led the league and receiving. I'm good, so I'm exempt.
Oh, no, it don't work like that.
Did he have a fumble? You didn't put it in there, though. Okay. And the loss and the tennis in the year that Lamar won the MVP, his first MVP. He 36, passing touchdowns, six interceptions, and the loss to the Titans. He was 31 of 59, 365. One touchdowns, two interceptions. He rushed for 143 yards, had another fumble. My point is, look how great he played. But do y'all believe those. Those turnovers played any role in the Ravens losing the game? Yes or no? You absolutely do, but because I pointed it out. Guys, we gotta stop this. We gotta stop this. That blacks can't critique blacks and be critical of their play. Stop this, y'all. It ain't about no dislike. I've got to point the obvious out. He played well. But those turnovers directly, that's Almost Ocho. That's 500 yards of total offense.
Offense.
But those three turnovers hurt their chances of winning. Y'all think he so. Y'all think he so tell me why Y'all think he frustrated. So since his turnover didn't have any bearing, he's gonna be the mvp. So you tell me, shouldn't we expect more from an mvp, Ocho? But you don't. No, I don't critique Baker Mayfield as hard as I creek. Oh, really? So you saying Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson on the same level playing field? They like this?
No.
Come on, chat. Come on, my people. We better than that. Hold on. Did y'all. Hold on. Did anybody. Did anybody listen what I said? Did y'all go to Ocho Twitter, X page? Did y'all listen? What did I say? I was the one that went on TV and said, hell, no. Don't you change no position. Lamar Jackson, you a quarterback.
Yeah.
And if you can't play at quarterback, say, then I'm going to move, but I'm not moving before y'all give me a chance to play the quarterback position. I said I thought he should go in the top 20. The Ravens had 16 pick. I said, he going to Ravens. He going to the Ravens at 16. Because I felt that they didn't get him at 16. They weren't going to be able to get him because somebody was going to snatch him up.
Yeah, hold on.
Come on, Chad. I need. I need to be able to see you. Can I. Can I see this part of this in this little section right here? Because I want to see what they say now. Because I know they don't. I know. I know they didn't. Went to it and saw it.
The chat. Moving too fast.
Go ahead. I just. I just want to see what they're saying now.
How you slowed it. How you slow it down. You can't. You can't slow it down.
No.
Hey, y'all stop typing so fast I can't see.
But that's all. I mean, when a guy plays well, I'll say a guy played well.
Jesus Christ.
But when he doesn't play well, what am I supposed to do? I'm supposed to say he played well when he didn't play well.
Hey, it ain't no way I can slow my chat down or just stay going like this.
It's gonna keep moving like that. Cause it's moving like that. It's got. Ho Cho. We got, what, 70 plus thousand people in the chat.
Yeah.
Call a friend. Let's try to get to 80. Tell a friend. But, yeah, that's the thing. Ocho. Look, and I get it. Time told me something about this long, long time ago. He say, sean, you have to understand your boys carry a lot of weight because of who you are and what you've accomplished. So you just ain't some random talking about football. People know when you talk the way you talk. You know the game. You understand the game. Plus, you're credentialed. Your resume is impeccable. You were a seventh round draft pick and accomplished what you accomplished. So your word is going to carry some weight. It's going to sting when you say things about people, and I get that. That's it. But a lot of guys is that when they see me at events or they see me, they're like, oh, you hard, but you fair, man. You be calling that ish. I do. I don't got no bones in the fight. I want to see Lamar do well. I want him to get a championship. So the floodgates will open up. Yeah. Because when the floodgates open up, that pressure will be off of him.
You can just play fre. Just play football free.
Yes, yes, yes. He has that kind of ability, but this is what this is. Last year, two turnovers. This year, two turnovers. His first playoff. His second playoff game against the Titans, three turnovers.
Chad Ochocinco
How many turnovers did he have against.
Unknown
Buffalo when they played in Buffalo two years ago? I knew he had. I think he only had one because I know he threw the pick into the end of the pick that got ran back for the touchdown. No fumbles. That's it. We can't get it up. I thought we could put it in the.
Damn, that moving fast.
Yeah. Wait, we're good.
Oh, hey, did you. Hey, look, I can use my finger and make it stop.
Okay?
And you ain't know that, huh? Hey, okay, okay, okay. I ain't know I Could touch it. Well, no, I could touch the chat and make it stop. Okay. Yeah.
You just. All right. Yeah. We good now.
Somebody said talk about Buffalo. We did talk about Buffalo.
We talked about Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. Look, look. Buffalo. Is that they played the kind of game. What do we always ask Josh Allen to do? Stop turning the ball over. What did Josh Allen do today? What did he do this year that he normally never does? He protected the football.
Football. Yeah.
And that's all we've had. Nobody's ever said Josh Allen wasn't a great quarterback, because he is. But he put himself and his team in harm's way by turning the ball over. When you turn the ball over in the postseason, you play double. You pay double for turnovers. Yeah. So that's. That's. That's. But look, no, guys, Lamar is not a Jag. Lamar is special. He just has to do a better. He just have to do a better job of taking care of the football in the. In the crucial moments in the playoffs. Because in the playoffs, every moment, every possession matters. Oo. Yeah, every possession matters. And it should. It should. Because you. You're going for the ultimate prize. Oo and because you got to think about it. Oo Once you get to the playoffs, it ain't. No, you ain't. You playing Jacksonville, you playing the Raiders. These are the best you're going up against. Other best.
Yeah. That means you have to be at your best.
Look who's on the other side against Lamar. That wasn't Aiden O'Connell. That was Josh Allen. Look who's on the other side of Jared Goff. That was Jayn Daniels. Look who's on the other side of Matthew Stafford. That's Jalen Hurts, who's on the other side of C.J. stroud. That's my homeboy.
Yeah.
You see, that's what happens. It's a rarity, especially now, Ocho, because the game is so quarterback eccentric that you gonna get quarterback discrepancy when one is way up here and the other's down there, you're just not going to get that.
Now, that happened during the regular season only.
Yes. Yes. Because you don't get to determine who you play. Hey, you gonna play the AFC west or the AFC East? And they might have some crappy quarterbacks and you go up against them when you go to the postseason. I thought they did a great. I thought they did a great job of. Of neutralizing Lamar's legs. I thought Buffalo did an excellent job of that. Something the Steelers couldn't do last week. Ocho, remember?
Yeah, yeah.
They couldn't do that. So he got. He. Not only did they allow Derek Henry to run wild, they allowed Lamar Jackson to run wild. Yeah, but he's going to be. He's just got, like I said, he just got to get over that hump. Most quarterbacks, look, everybody's not. Everybody is not Patrick Mahomes. You start one year, you're in the AFC championship game. The next year, you go win the Super Bowl. You know what I'm saying? Within your first three years, your first two years of starting, you a Super bowl champ. You in the AFC championship game, you lose to Tom Brady because you don't get a chance to touch the football. But think about it. They didn't change the rules then. They only changed the rule when my homeboy started winning all this time. Cause remember, Brady got the ball. They like. Oh, the defense get paid too.
Chad Ochocinco
Okay?
Unknown
They do. So why would Mahomes get down the field and they don't get a chance to touch the football? Now if you don't score. Because before Ocho walk off, wanted.
Yeah.
Kick a field goal.
Yeah.
Now. Oh, if you don't score a touchdown, well, let everybody do it like college. Let everybody possess the ball at least once.
You in the book. But we might be there all night with that. Boo.
You might. Now somebody, I mean somebody gotta make it. Because I think now in college, you get a touchdown, you get two touchdowns, then you, everybody, everything is a two point conversion from that point on. But no, it's not about like or dislike. I try to be as fair as I possibly can. I watch the game intently about plays, about situation. Because it comes down to situational football. Ocho. In situations, who performs the best. That's what it is about. Situations, who perform the best. In certain situations, you can count on.

I love it to death. Now, I'm sure A.J. brown has some nice stuff, but obviously because of the weather, because of the weather. I'm not driving nothing nice in this weather. It's snowing, it's sliding. I'm sure there might have been ice on the road. So what you do, you pull out. You pull out your slider. You pull out your slider. So I like it. The fact that he even has a slider to be able to use lets me know his mind is in the right place. Oh, A.J.

Right?
Yeah, but. No, no, no, not, not, not, not, not. Oh, no, I'm good with the country. Guys. What are y'all talking about? Oh, I'm paid not to talk about Andrews. We just said. But Ocho and I just said Mark Andrews, he's gonna feel worse about this game than Lamar.
No, I think some of the people commenting, maybe they just joining and they weren't here for the beginning because we, we don't. We didn't. We done covered every. We didn't cover every base you could cover on the game, quarterback, positional situations, the fumble being dropped. We talked about it already, Ojo.
We just talked about it. I said Mark Andrews is going to feel worse than Lamar because his drop, his fumble and then the two point conversion drop.
Yeah.
So what else you want us to say?
They just got here, man. That's not fair.
They gonna be all right with you? Check this out. While Jerry Jones endures the process of hiring Mike McCarthy's replacement as a head coach, two of his recent coordinators will be calling plays in the NFC Championship. Not mistaken, every team has been to the NFC Championship game since Dallas has last been to the NFC Championship game. Every NFC team. Let this sink in. Oo. Every team has played in an NFC Championship game since the Cowboys last went to the NFC Championship game. You got a. Hey, you got Dan Quinn with a rookie quarterback.
Yeah.
In the NFC Championship game. Kellen Moore is calling plays in the NFC Championship game his first year there.
So who do you think the problem is in Dallas? I'm just curious. Chat, chat, can you. Who do you think the problem is in Dallas? Because everyone that leaves Dallas and goes somewhere else, they seem to have found success. The cultures thrive or finding success thrive. I'm just asking, I'm curious what the chat would say.
Oh, yeah. You know, Mike McCarthy got tired of Kellen Moore getting a little shine. Oh, you know, he wanted to run the ball too. He wanted to pass the ball too much. And lo and behold, he get. He get Keller Moore out there and he. He throws the ball more than what Kelly Moore did when Kelly Moore was calling the plays. Everybody know who Balder is?
Yeah, I know. Who I would like to see be the Dallas coach. I know we, we've heard the rumblings about prime going there. And I'm. I'm not sure if that will work, that situation because prime would be the one to take all the spotlight away from Jerry.
You don't want that.
Tremendously. I think Dak and Chad might, Might not agree with me, but I think Dak and, and, and CD Lamb and the rest of the supporting cast offensively would do very well with Ben Johnson and his creativity, you know, with that, with that offense and being the fact that with Ben Johnson they would score be somewhere statistically in the top five when it comes to scoring. I don't know why. I just like it. I just think someone like Ben Johnson being in Dallas having be not only being a head coach, but also controlling and doing the play calling as well.
You can't. Oh, because he like Al, man had to get out of sheet. Al needed to know what you was running. We're not going to get into that. Ojo. In fact, seven Dallas assistant coaches from 22 or 23 will be participating in the NFC championship game.
Wait, how many?
Seven.
Damn.
The last championship game appearance for the Dallas Cowboys was 1995. The Bears. Every team has been in the NFC championship game except the Cowboys in the 2000s. Even the Bears. The Giants won the Super Bowl. The Seahawks, Carolina, Arizona Falcons, Minnesota Saints, packers, Tampa, Rams, 49ers, Detroit, the commanders and the Eagles.
You think Jerry knows this or he doesn't pay it no mind.
Ocho, if. If you could. If you could do whatever you wanted to do and make 300 million or you could do it the right way, make 300 million, but you're not gonna get no credit. Jerry wants credit. That's what Jerry wants.
Jerry wants to be the face that ain't working. It ain't working. It's not working.
Didn't that man tell you he bought this tea? He bought this occupation. He told you that. Ocho. What more you want the man to tell you?
Oh, when you buy occupation, the point of buying occupation is for one, so you can succeed and win at it, not just buy it to tear it down or not just buy it and be losing.
I don't work on my. I want to work on my own car and it won't ever crank. Instead of me taking it to. Instead of me taking it to a auto technician, instead of me taking it to Ocho. Because, you know, we got to be politically correct.
Chad Ochocinco
We can't say mechanic anymore.
Unknown
We got to say auto technician.
You can't say.
But kid, why would that mean no? Because, you know, people say, oh, let's give them the proper credit. They're auto technicians.
Okay, okay. Auto technicians.
I like that shade tree ass mechanic. But in that situation, man, it's. I mean, look at this. With a rookie quarterback, Dan Quinn stayed longer than what he probably should because he thought he was going to get the Dallas job. He was gonna be willing to forego give up of. Of himself. We saw Dan Quinn get to the Atlanta Falcons, to the super bowl, have a 283 lead. So he can coach.
Yeah.
He can coach, but nobody. Ben Johnson is not going to be Ben Johnson in Dallas. He needs to go somewhere where he's going to. It looks like all indication is pointing to the Raiders. I wouldn't be surprised. Within the next two to three days, he's going to the Raiders.
Oh, how we going to the Raiders? We don't got no quarterback. I'm talking about.
He doesn't want to.
Chad Ochocinco
He.
Unknown
Listen, a lot of times guys don't want to be in a situation with Detroit, a guy that gave him his start. I don't really want to be in that situation. Dan Quinn said, I don't care. Dan Quinn said, I'm tired of this. You told me you were going to make something happen for your boy.
Right?
Right. Right. And you ain't do it. So guess what? I'm gonna go ahead and beat your ass. Ocho.
Yeah.
There's a really disturbing video that came out yesterday. A real estate develop developer shared footage of him being profiled by a neighbor at a home he built in an affluent neighborhood. In order for. In order for us to do this video justice, we have to show the video, guys. So we ask you to bear with us because in order to give it. To do it justice and give you the proper context, we must show the video in its entirety. Now, the video is like three minutes long. We're asking you to please bear with us so we can have this conversation and. And do it justice and provide context. Let's take a look at the video. Ocho.
Do you live here?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Unknown
You do? I don't believe that. I don't believe that. Did someone come here? How's my wife?
Chad Ochocinco
She got somebody chased through.
Unknown
Who chased her? Somebody in a silver truck. They just left us in the street. And so I come up. So I'm like to pretend that I'm coming home. And so I pull up and I start walking to your back gate. And he stops here and he goes, are you looking for someone? I said, nope. And then he sat here and I was like, I need to get in. Well, that's my husband. That's why he lives here. Yeah, he lives here. So he came in and he said, there's a lady screaming. And I'm like, that's. She got all worried that she scared. How. How did he scare you, though? I just seen her in the driveway and I was like, are you looking for somebody? Cause I was pulling up out and I saw someone walking in our driveway too. And I'm like, why is someone walking in our drive way?
All right, sorry.
She says that someone was following her. So you were walking from there. You came this way, didn't you? No, I came down this street right here.
Yeah.
And I was riding slow cuz I'm looking at our Christmas light. You just have to understand my point of view. Being by myself with two kids. I just saw a card coming and so I was like, oh, scared me. And so I just woke up here. And I kept thinking this could be his house. But you didn't say, this is my home. You just said, are you looking? And I was like, I did. When you was on the porch, you asked me, did I live here? I said, yeah. And you said, no, you don't. And you said, I don't think you do. Obviously you could tell that I was really put on board. Like, I'm pulling in my. Like I'm pulling in my house. Like, this is not a. This neighborhood is probably one of the best neighborhoods in Ohio. You don't have to worry about stuff like that. I'm very sorry. I really hope that you're not upset with me.
Come on, baby.
You told me that I didn't. You said you didn't think I live here.
You standing on somebody else's porch. You don't live there. And because the man said, hey, I live here now. Oo you hear what she said?
Yeah.
You have to understand my point of view. Yeah, we're always asked to understand their point of view, all the while never seeing our point of view. You don't get to stand on my porch and ask me a question about my d. House. What are you doing on my front doorstep? You see what she did? And she went running, screaming, now call the cops. Now he gets blasted. Oh, this man was chasing me. See, they had to release the video because she was lying. Yeah, they. She left them no choice because they tried to handle it. They handled it way, way better than I would have ever handled it.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, obviously. Listen, depending on who it is in that influent neighborhood, you know.
That would handle it. Affluent doesn't rhyme with black?
Yeah.
It's only supposed to mean a certain group need to look like her. She like, oh, you have to understand somebody. Along with two kids. Clearly you're not that concerned because your ass outside in the dark with you and your two kids. So clearly you're not concerned. But now all of a sudden, you have to see my point of view of sitting woman with two kids.
Right? And I'm confused. If you're a neighbor, if you've been in the neighborhood already, you haven't seen your neighbors. You never seen them before.
Well, I'm just curious. I mean, I don't know, but stuff.
Like this happens all the time though, huh?
This is nothing bad.
It was caught on camera this time.
Yes, thank you. See, that's my point. What if it wasn't Ken caught on camera? You know, everybody gonna believe her side of the story. Absolutely. What if she called the police? And the police come and ask this man to identify yourself and he like, I don't wanna identify myself. This my house.
I'm home.
Yeah, you see, and now she done went on. She done disabled all of her social media and she done did an IG live talking about people are calling me racist. You don't understand. We understand. We absolutely 1000% understand what you did. Instead of trying to. Instead of trying to say, look, I was wrong, right? You don't get to go on somebody else's front porch, Ocho, and ask him. And if they say, do you live here? He says yes. You said you didn't believe him. You don't live there, so who cares if he lives there? Your ass don't live there.
And then, hold on. Did she not walk away? Left the stroller screaming, help.
Yes. Running down the street screaming, help, help, help. What? He should have been screaming.
It's sad. Even during this time, nothing has changed.
How do you get to play victim, Ocho, when you initiated this whole thing? You see, that's. And see, that's what happens a lot of time on social media, but this is real life. People will say whatever they want to say to you. Women will say to, oh, oh, Shannon, you. And I don't let it go, Ocho. You know, I told my New Year's resolution, I ain't gonna let it bother me. People still say things. Oh, you thick tongue, you can't talk now. See, when I talk about you. Oh, does ESPN know you talk about women like this? Oh, now ESPN even know I talk about women like this when you hop Joe hot ass on my timeline and try to get one off and I click, clack, clack, clack, clack. Cause, you know, I keep that thing. I keep that thing on me. Ocho, I got a thousand jokes. I'm on number 12.
Yeah, you. You gotta. You. You gotta.
You gotta.
You gotta tweet like I do, man. It's. It's fun. And you gotta understand, sometimes I let it go. No, you can't let it go, man. So listen. So let me tell you something. If somebody walk up and slap, you gonna turn the other cheek.
O Joe, I pray, you know, I pray every night that God just leave.
Me be now with that guy. Ain't got nothing to do what I just asked you, if somebody walk up and slap you on the left side of your cheek, are you gonna turn the right side? So just slap that. That one, too.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to move on. I'm just gonna say, Lord.
You got. You got to control your Twitter the way I do. You have people that are positive, and I engage with them in a positive manner. You have people that talk to me negatively, and I engage with them in a negative manner. It keeps a happy balance on the timeline. Everything can be positive. It can't.
I just don't respond.
That's not the way the app works. So if somebody keeps at you, I'm telling you, regardless of what your New Year's res may be, you have to talk trash back. We love that. The people love that. It keeps. It keeps the timeline balanced. If everything is always happy, happy, happy, happy. It ain't.
No, it's all good.
Listen, negativity and talking trash and engaging with people, whether negative or positive, it builds character.
But you. It does. But you know what, Ocho? We don't ever get to miss next state. We don't ever get to stand on somebody porch and ask them, you live here. I don't believe you. You notice. You notice that never happens to any of us. We never. We never get on camera being at the wrong place and saying, oh, is this your house?
Listen, you gotta understand.
You think I care? You actually think I care who house it is? I'm minding my business. They throw their hand up, I throw my hand up and keep going. But you own this man's place. On this man's front porch. He said he lived there. You say you don't believe him. You leave your stroller, you take off running, screaming, yelling, help, help, help. You don't know who could have heard that, came out shooting, and then what? I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah. And it could have gone bad. Depending on what type of cop showed up.
That's my point, Ocho. That's my only point. How many times have we seen a situation like this happen because of a lie? Emmett Till died behind him. A lie.
Or people being nosy?
Yes.
Which young dude that was running. Remember he was with Joe?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's down in Brunswick. Yeah, he was.
Come on. Now.
We don't get that benefit because how many times. There have been a lot of times that we call the cops and we end up getting arrested. We call the cops on them.
Yeah.
I just hated this. My heart broke for this family because it could have. And see people quick to say, oh, but it didn't. No, it's not that it didn't. It's the fact that it happened to begin with.
Yeah.
We in 2025 and stuff like this is still happening.
And the funny thing about it, regardless of it being 2025, it could be. It could be 2050. It's still going to always go on. You know, we just. We just have to do a better job at trying to disengage in those situations.
Why I gotta disengage at my house?
I mean. I know what you mean. I'm just saying, you know, and just enjoy.
Just think about it. You pull up to your house, you pull up to your mansion, and somebody's standing on your front porch. You live here? You like? Yeah. I don't believe you.
Yeah. Yeah. How you got through my gate? Okay, my bad. I was doing good tonight. That's my first one. I'm sorry.
Yes, bro. My first thing is like, do you live here? Why? I don't know if I live there, but I know you don't. Now, again, why are you on that porch?
Why are you on my porch?
Yes, man, please. She was doing too much. She did entirely too much. It was so unnecessary. And then the fact that she's yelling and screaming like somebody was chasing her. She left this couple no choice but to release that video because she had told. And the family got tired of her. Lies upon lies upon lies. And it says, you know what? It's all captured on ring cam. It's everything that transpired is captured. Now she's trying to go back. You gotta understand my point of view. Some. A mother with two kids. If you so afraid, if you're so afraid, why is your ass out that time of night with two kids? If you're that afraid, clearly you're not that afraid. You're clearly. It's not that you're not that afraid. And yeah, she ain't got her husband. You see that? And then that's where I had to whip him. You see how that. That's the thing. I'm trying to. Had to whip him.
Are you gonna put hands on him?
All get off my property. Get on my property. You'll get whipped.
Chad Ochocinco
And I'm.
Unknown
Call my wife. You whip her, too. Nah, you ain't going to play. You ain't finna play in my face like that. Oh, man, I'm like, oh, you ain't got your husband. What you ain't got him for? The best thing y'all can do, y'all out of a is to turn around and go on back home. Cause this ain't gonna end well for either one of y'all.
You gotta hit it. You gotta hit it with that Bernie Mac. You look like you're trying to do something to me.
Hey, it won't be an affluent neighborhood when I get through with them. Nah, don't play like that. Don't. Don't do people like that. When you wrong. Don't exacerbate a situation by lying. You was wrong.
You know, they play victim quick. Now.
That's it. You effed up. And then you want to play. Want to play victim quick? No. So hopefully everything gets resolved. The couple. I am sorry that you had to go through this. That's why, you know, you move in a neighborhood and you think you're safe and everything's gonna be okay, and then it doesn't matter. This happened this in my neighborhood, on my porch. My kids, my family got to witness this. And all the while, you pretend like you're the victim. No, we're the victim. And it's all because of you and your jaded perception that we don't belong. We don't belong. How y'all look? You can't look like that and belong here.

Now it's time for our last segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.
Use the bathroom. I don't know how you drink water.
Architect. Nice. TV said, it's sad that fans today don't understand the difference between criticism and hate. There's no gray area nowadays. They call it either you a D rider or hater. Continue to be great guys. They do. They do. But it has a lot to do. Like I said, you. I'm not saying that fans shouldn't love their team, love their players. But no player is beyond reproach. No player is beyond criticism. Y'all go check my record. Go check my record. Peyton got it. Brady got it. Rogers. Got it. Mahomes have got it. Romo got it. Dax. Got it. Baker Mayfield's got it. Cam Newton has got it. Matt Ryan has got it. Brett Powell got it. I got it, bro. No, it. No. No professional athlete has ever been born that's above criticism. Doesn't work like that. If you play good, I'm gonna say you played good. But if you played bad, I've got to say that, too. And it's okay, Ocho. It is okay. There's no such thing as perfection all the time.
As much as we strive to be as perfect as possible, it's impossible to reach you.
A lot to say. You'd never heard me criticize Patrick Mahomes. That's just. Just. That's disingenuous.
Whoa. You did it. You did it this year.
Multiple times. Did it last year, too. And said the reason why I didn't lose the game last year. Because he's turning the ball over too much.
All over. Yeah.
Instead of before, y'all come with some facts. All you gotta do is come with facts. But facts ruin an argument. Ocho. But there's. And he was saying, Ocho, people don't understand the difference between criticism and hate.
Right.
If you play in a sport, I think. And my job is to critique and analyze, I'm supposed to offer that I ain't some guy in the street that you doing something that I couldn't do. Hello. Y'all better check what's behind me, y'all. Yeah, y'all don't see my basement, but y'all better check them jersey with them patches on the wall. I ain't jealous of that. I got no problem giving people credit. Y'all have heard me say. I've heaped effusive praise on Kelsey and Gronk and Gates and Gonzo. I'm cool with what I was able to do no hate, no envy, quarterbacks. I have a great appreciation because I know how hard it is to play that position. But when you were a little kid and they say all the quarterbacks in this line where you took your ass and lined up the quarterback line. You know what comes along with that? Lineman on me. D line it on me. Wide receivers over there, running back, DBs, linebackers. You chose the line. Criticism come along with that. But guess what else would come along with that? Big paydays, huge big jobs. What was it? What position did Tony Romo play?
Quarterback.
What position? Detroit Eggman play quarterback. What position did Tom Brady play?
He was a quarterback.
One guy makes 37 and a half million. Another guy makes 17 and a half million. Another guy Makes 19 million. Robert Lee said, shannon, you're wasting your time. Our people are conditioned to be victims. Constructive criticism, no matter how kind they take it as a slight. They do. They do. Because it's easy.
Yeah.
Let me tell you know what it is Ocho. It's easier to blame someone else than take responsibility for one's act.
Yeah.
How many times don't you you heard somebody say bad coach ain't like me. What about you? What about you? Short of late to practice. What about you not coming to practice?
What about messing up assignments in practice?
In practice. So what? So you play no role. It's hard for me to believe that a coach is that everything is predicated on them winning and losing a guy that can help them win. I refuse to be a a professional victim. It is what it is. I know what it is going into it. I'm able to prepare for it. I'm gonna be so good you ain't got no choice but to give me the job. But I can sit back here and blame somebody else for it, don't you? Man, I ain't got that job, man. They ace. They ain't even like me. Andrew Warren said, best friends tell you what you need to hear, not what you want, not what you want to hear. They do. I've been very fortunate to have those kind of people in my life, Ocho. Like I said, I got my two best friends. Bucket and Burns. A bucket quick to say, homeboy, I love you but you wrong in this situation.
Yeah. And that's the problem in today's era too. Aren't you got to think about it. Whoever is the golden goose most of the time the people around them are yes men are people that don't have their best interest at heart. Look at some of the incidents that have happened in the NFL in the off season. The offseason is up for a lot of. A lot of people this year. They're going to be people that get in trouble. Huh? They're going to people. They're going to be people that get in trouble. They have entourages around them that won't tell them, you know what you're getting ready to do. It ain't a good idea. You know what? You've been drinking. You don't need to drive. You know what? I'm gonna drive you home. Matter of fact, we gonna leave the car here. Give me your key. We're gonna take an Uber.
Yeah.
You'll see people that don't have their best interest because you know, you know, if you, if you challenge the person who. Making the money, that mean it might, he might cut your water off. So everything is a yes.
Yep.
Yes. Not telling them what to do and what's in their best interest. Yeah. Brown really think you should do that by. You know, I love you, but this ain't it. It's different. It's different now.
And that's the thing, Ocho, you're right. You're right. I, I just. For me, it's just. I need to know. That's your job. Your job sometimes is to protect me from me.
Oh, that's a. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's a good one. Now I got to use that. I got to use that in my next argument. I can use that. I can.
But that's why. But, but that's why, Ocho. That's why you have. Like, in certain situations, my partner's supposed to protect me, even if I want to. Even if I want to wallow. She's like, hey, boy, you ain't finna mess up this money, man.
That's a good line. I could use like, I'm gonna deliver it too, with some.
Yeah, you're not gonna have an argument. She's like, shannon, let that go, right? Let for what? You willing to risk all that over something petty?
Right.
No.
That's what I done brought you in my life. You know, hoping at some point with what I envision after explaining my long term goals to you, I seek to individualize you as an asset to me. Yes, you're here to be able to protect me from myself, but this what.
You want to do. Yeah.
Huh?
Don't.
Right there, right there on that spot right there. When I give that delivery, I'm gonna let a teardrop out the right eye. Cause if a tear drops out the right eye. That let him know you serious.
Yeah.
Hey, boy, I'm ready. I got that set up. I got it right here in my notes.
Oh, man. Chris. Guadalupe said Ocho Buffalo took out both of unk teams, so he can't say the word Buffalo. Buffalo wings, Buffalo sauce, Buffalo stale pee.
Hey, Buffalo Soldiers.
Hold on.
You can't.
You.
You talk about you wanted Buffalo nickels. You can't even say Buffalo nickels no more.
Hey, Chris, whose side you on, man? Yeah, Buffalo. Buffalo got both of my squads, man.
Yeah, they out of there all bubbled.
Damn. Bobby Blair said what Josh Allen is doing is. No. Is not really. With no real elite weapons on offense is so impressive. Allen elevates everyone around him, puts the team on his back. That's why he's my mvp. Look, considering what they lost, like I said, I thought Lamar season was too great not to be rewarded with an mvp. But Ocho, if people. If they were to give him the mvp, you can't be. I mean, you lose Gabe Davis, you lose, you lose Stefon Diggs. Milano missed a lot of the season. White's gone. Poirier gone. Hyde is gone. Von Miller was suspended a little bit. Who else got King K, got Nick, your tight end. It's. He's been. He's been spectacular. We asked him, Josh, we need you to do what you normally do, minus the turnovers. And he sliced it. He just. I mean, he did that in a season another guy had. I mean, there have been a lot of great seasons. You look at Rogers won the MVP, but Patrick Mahomes was like 38 and 6, but Rogers was 44 and 7, is what it is. Only, look, if Josh were to go in and win the super bowl, he would probably be the mvp. I don't think he'd be too disappointed. I think that'll take some of the sting out of it. Gelato said, tell the bar give that MVP to Josh. The MVP is a regular season award. And you know, and we have this discussion every year, give the mvp, wait till the playoffs is over. They've never done that ever.
And that they're not changing it now.
Yes.
No time soon. Later on in the future.
Yes. JPS World from fellow SSU alum, I love the show. Will Lamar Carrera go down as a player who beast beastly in the regular season but can't win the big one? I think if he doesn't win the big one, I think it'll be disappointing. You can't say that it's a failure. A guy that's won three MVPs because, remember, they wanted him to be a running back to, say, Tanja, wide receiver. He went three MVPs. I do think it'll be. I think it'll be disappointing if he has all those MVPs and no super bowl on his mantle. That's just me personally. Some people might say, hey, but I think I, I think, you know, for him to be as great as he is and at the end of the day, not have that ultimate prize, because that's why you play. He's gonna have money. He's gonna have more money than he ever imagined. He probably gonna have 3,400 million dollars in his bank account when his career is over. But I think the thing that he's going to want more if he doesn't get one is that Super Bowl. Tim Lee say, I know some people are going to blame it all on Andrews, but Lamar, two turnovers and bears responsibility for the loss. Lamar, playoffs woes continue. Better quarterback one, simple as that. He said it. He knows he can't. He can't turn the ball over. Yeah, he turned the ball over and they got points out of it. It's unfortunate because normally when the quarterback doesn't play well, they don't win.
Right.
It's really not that complicated. So. And that's what I've been. So Jared Goff threw for over 300 yards. So what role did those turnovers play in Detroit losing? Did they play any role? Of course they did.
Yeah.
We can't say because the quarterback turned the ball over. Ocho, we like said quarterbacks and now try to minimize the turnovers in said game, it doesn't work like that.
But this is also too. When it comes to having a team collectively, yes. When a quarterback doesn't play well, or Lamar Jackson in this case tonight, turns the ball over twice, that's when you need the teammates to pick you up.
You need the defense to get some turnovers from you.
Not only defense, but you need the offensive players to make some of those plays to make up. And those turnovers you're gonna have, you're gonna have mistakes in the game. Now, we just talked about it. You want to be as perfect as possible and play a perfect game. But they're going to be, they're going to be ups and downs, they're going to be momentums, they're going to be swing shifts. And there were swing shifts in the game. But there are moments in the game where, okay, Lamar Jackson to turn the ball over. You know what Mark Andrews Right now, I need you. I need you to help me, help me for the mistakes I made early in the game. That was his chance.
Yeah.
The game, the game of football is all about moments, huh? Yes, it's all about moments.
Yeah. If Mark could have come down with that two point conversion, it had been very interesting to see how this thing plays out from that point on. Ocho. Yeah, we'll never know. We'll never know, Ocho, but it would have been very interesting to see this thing 27. 27. And now you put it back on your defense. It says, okay, get us this ball back or let's go to overtime and we'll see what happens from there.
I would have loved to see that, Dean.
Jill, if I'm. If I'm Mark Andrews, I'm keeping my helmet on in the locker room. Them boys might lay hands on it. Nah, he played well. No, I mean, look, I've been there. It's tough. It's tough when you have drops or you have a fumble or you have a play that potentially cost your team a game. It's tough. It's tough. And you know all your team teammates gonna say all the right things, man. It's not on you. It's a team game. There were other plays out there that could have been made. You ain't.
Chad Ochocinco
That's.
Unknown
That's not what. Yeah, it's good that your teammates got your back, but deep down inside, it's like it's killing you. It's killing you. Trust lab. Ravens need to go all in on Lamar. They didn't have a number one receiver on the field at most important time. That tells me Ed DaCosta needs to build a better roster, bro. His number one receiver got hurt. What do you think he's gonna go get another number one? You think Mike Evans was available? I mean, was CD Lamb available? I mean, I'm trying to figure out what you thought he was going to get at this later the season. There are no number ones available. Come playoff time, if they're not on the roster, ain't nobody go, hey, bro, let me borrow your number one receiver. You ain't in the playoffs, it's not lawnmowers. You need your grass cut, you go borrow neighbors. It don't work like that, Ocho.
Yeah, it don't.
See, again, they not as this man, Ocho. This man said, Eric DaCosta did not build a roster around Lamar.
The roster is built, Ocho.
Come on. See? You see what I'm saying, Ocho? He went and got him. Derrick Henry, you got two tight ends that are top 10. Zay Flowers is the first drafted wide receiver by the Ravens to make the Pro Bowl. Rashad Bateman played well. Come on, guys, you don't.
You don't need. You don't need no number one receiver. Because the number one receiver in that offense will be frustrated and mad than a motherfucker. If you understand the Ravens offense and what they do. They run the ball, Ocho, even though.
They run the ball. LaMar threw for 41 touchdowns. Only one other quarterback threw for that many touchdowns, and they didn't even make the playoff. That's Joe Burrow.
Yeah.
If you talk about the roster isn't built around Lamar. This is what I'm talking about, Ojo. See? See, Ocho, this is what I'm talking about. When. When Lamar wins, is Lamar. Lamar, Lamar. When Lamar loses, it's. The roster isn't good.
Nah. Oh, the roster.
So the roster. So the roster is not good. So this man has won three MVPs with crappy rosters. Look how many Pro Bowlers they had. They had more Pro Bowlers and more All Pros than any other team.
Nine, if I'm not mistaken. Right? Nine. Nine players. Or am I wrong?
Yes.
Yeah, they have a phenomenal roster.
Rokon Smith is the first team All Pro. Marlon Humphrey, the first team All Pro. Lamar the first team All Pro. DEG Henry is the second team All Pro. Pat Ricard is the first team All Pro to run it. The fullback. You got four Pro Bowlers on offense. One, two, three, four. Oh, your center, I think, is an All Pro, a Pro bowl player. Lamar's. Lamar's in the Pro Bowl. Derek Henry's in the Pro Bowl. Ricard's in the Pro Bowl. The center's in the Pro Bowl. And Z Flowers. That's five guys on offense in the Pro Bowl. Marlon Humphrey's in the Pro Bowl. Rayquan Smith is in the Pro Bowl. You got a line. You got 2D line, Matthew, and I think I forget the other guy's name. 9990 or 9990 is in the Pro Bowl. So you got nine guys in the Pro bowl and the roster's not good enough. Huh? You're two tight ends combined for more touchdown catches than any other tight end group in the NFL. But the roster is not good enough. Huh? They didn't give. I mean, how many yards did. How many yards did Josh Allen pass for tonight? The secondary, I thought would be what would let them down. I thought they did a pretty good job. I don't think Josh Allen passed for 200 yards. Josh Allen passed for 127. Did they have how many yards did James Cook rush for? I mean, that last run not withstanding the last run kind of put the nail in the coffin. But up until that, how many yards did they rush for? They had 67 total rush yards. Cook had 67 rush yards. What was the guy that got that last run? That was what, 40 yards?
I think it was Davis, huh?
Yeah, but how many yard rush yards did the Ravens have? Ravens ran the ball for 176 yards. Lamar had like 250 passes. Come on guys, they lost. Let's not make excuses for why they lost. This is not a roster issue. You just got to play better. You just can't turn the football over. This is not a roster issue. It's never a roster issue.

Mozano is hard about the most on the hot seat soon. Every year they're hyped at super bowl contender. They just they choke. Then it's excuses like Lamar no help or fire Greg Roman. Who's the scapegoat this year? I don't know. I mean Todd Monkey might get a job.
Deservingly so yes.
All I know he's been there two years and he got a guy to two that mvp. But that don't matter. It's all Lamar because Greg Roman got him. That got him to this and it's never enough. We gotta stop trying to find somebody to put it on. Lamar has to do a better job of taking care of the football guys. When they get in position to make plays, they got to make those plays. It's as simple as that. This is not a roster issue. This is not a defense. I mean defense like hold on bro, if we don't turn the ball over, that's 10 points right there. So we really only would have gave up 17. You put the ball in Harm's way. We put the ball in harm's way as an offense. If I told Ocho, if I told you Josh Allen was only going to throw 427 yards and they weren't going to run the air out of the football. Oh, Baltimore gonna win this game. Yeah, Baltimore gonna win this game.
If you, if you look at the stats right, you take away the score line and showed it to somebody who didn't watch the game, who you think they gonna say won the game just by Baltimore?
Look, what was Baltimore on third down? Baltimore damn near like 60% on third down. Okay, there was 70%. I lied.
That's even better. 70. 70% on third down. You know what? 98% of the time that's a game.
You. Yeah, Ocho, I think Kansas City was the best third down conversion team at 49%. The Ravens was 70% tonight. Crazy well said. What do the Ravens need to do with Todd Monkin? He knows the formula for winning, but yet he puts the ball in the air. Yeah, OO and I, we talked about that. OO and I, I thought they got away from the run too soon, especially in the first half. They come out in the second half and realize who they are. They're the Baltimore Ravens. They're the bullies of Baltimore. And they go right down the field. I think they might have threw the ball once, maybe, maybe twice on that drive, and they go right down the field. Would I've been disappointed if they'd have had 40 plus rushes? Nope. 50? Nope. Cause hell, I think they almost had 50 rushes last week against, Against Pittsburgh. Sean Smith said, should the Ravens try to get T. Higgins or Tyreek in the off season, you can get T. Higgins, you can get Tyreek. Guys, if you turn the ball over in the playoff, you gonna get beat.
No matter who you got.
It's really that simple. Guy football, look. Yeah, they call. Got all these intricate calls and they got to play. That's so long. Now this and X slide and. And 50 this and all that. But at the end of the day, can you take care of. Can you protect your quarterback and can you protect the football?
That's it. That's all that matters. That's all that matters. I don't think people understand it comes down to just that. Just that. The playoffs. To give your team the best chance to win, you got to protect the ball. You could have Jesus of Nazareth at receiver. If you turn the ball over twice with the fumble, you losing the game.
Look at the teams that lost this weekend. What did all of them do. Except the Texans. Detroit, what do they do? Turn the ball over. The Rams, what did they do? Turn the ball over. Baltimore, what did they do? Turn the ball over. The Texans didn't turn the ball over. But what did Texans allow? They allowed the quarterback to get sacked eight times. Kemper Norwood Jr. My question is, is the Bills, if the Bills show up against Kansas City when it matters. Because if they do, I'll channel my inner Shannon Sharp. It's gonna be a great game.
Very good game.
It's gonna be. Look, I tell you what I think. Buffalo and Buffalo fans want Patrick Mahomes to have the ball with a chance to beat them late in the ball game. They don't want that. They want this game to be put away early because he's been there, he's done that. And this game's going to come down to turnovers. Who protects the ball? Both teams are cold weather teams. Both teams are built to to deal with the cold weather. We know it gets cold in Kansas City. It was cold last week in Kansas City. We know it gets cold in Buffalo. So ain't nobody got no advantage. No one. The advantage is who's going to protect the football better. Same thing. It ain't nothing new. The formula hadn't changed. You take care of the ball, you increase your chance of winning. You turn the ball over, you decrease your chance of winning. It's really that simple. Ocho, actually. Oh, the Bucks let it. Oh they said the Bucks led the league in third down conversion to 51. The Chiefs at seconded 48.5. The Ravens was second at 48.2 and the Raven was 70% tonight. If you you'll lead the league every year. Third down City JoJo. 50% is great if you pick up 50% of the third down because now you stay on the field and give your chance to give yourself an opportunity to keep the ball and move the ball close to get the ball to end zone score points, touchdown and field goal. Ray was 7 of 10. What would they have been if they don't turn the ball over? Ocho.
Them points.
Scooty Puff said Shannon killed Burrow for every turnover this year. Said it with his chest. Now he's all soft with Lamar has two turnovers in the divisional playoff game. Bro, that's my point. When you say that, what did you say I did? Braun did what Turnovers. They lost. You see? Ta da. When you turn the ball over, no matter how great you play, you decrease your team chances of winning. That's what I want you to say scooter puff. That's what I wanted you to say. Scooter puff. That's it. See, Ocho, sometimes you let them make your point for you. See, he thought he tried to trap me, but he made my point.
Yeah, he made the point.
Turnovers. No matter how great you play Sheldon Pope, have you Ray Buchanan ever came cool after the war of words, before the sub bowl? Man, I had. I didn't see Ray after that. I haven't seen Ray, and that was in what, 98. And I ain't seen Ray in damn near 30 years.
Really?
Chad Ochocinco
No.
Unknown
I wonder where Ray at, man. Ray was good, bruh. Pretty boy Ray for one year.
Christopher Tillman said, I'm a Raiders fan, but I'm a Raiders fan. But I can still see you catching the ball across the middle and bumping your head on the goal post. When you tired on that run, comes down to play Ocho, we. You don't turn the ball over. That was the difference with us in. In 2000.
Yeah.
Outstanding defense. Take care of the football.
Yeah.
Long as we don't put our defense on the short field. Oh, there ain't nobody driving the ball. You ain't driving no 80, 90 yards on that defense. No 70 yards on that defense. M. No, absolutely not.
That wasn't happening.
No. Toonami, who's the best quarterback in the nfc? Hell, after this run, it might be Jaden Daniels. Yeah.
If, if, if, if the Lions hadn't lost, would you have golf up there as the best.
Who made the Pro bowl for the nfc? Golf? Oh, Jayden Daniels. Who else? Oh, Sam Donald.
Okay, got about Sam.
No, me personally, I don't think Jerry Goff is better than Matthew Stafford. That's my personal opinion. But it's hard for me. It's hard for. It's Ocho. It's just hard for me to say after one season because I want to see what happens sophomore season because, you know, we were ready to anoint CJ Stroud, and we see what happened this year.
Right.
So let's give him some time. There's enough time for Jayden Daniels. His first year was superb. Let's not take away from that shockwave truth. After all the turnover, the play to be made was not made by Mark. He could have made up for the fumble. See you in New Orleans. Got my tickets. You're right. If you turn the ball over like they did in the first half, they come back and win this game. You're like, hey, you play through those. They overcame adversity, didn't succumb to it and they won. And that's what it comes down to. Ocho. Sometimes you have to overcome your own mistakes. Those self inflicted wounds, you're right. But I know the minute, the minute that Mark Andrews bobbled that ball, Ocho was gone.
Yeah. It was coming out.
You're not bobbling the ball in those kind of conditions and catching it.
All the, all the glove, you know, the new gloves they got now, all that don't do it. Does nothing in the cold weather for you at all?
Nope. Hold on. When they come in, do they use. Do they use kicking balls on the two point play or do they use regular balls? Cause you know the kicking ball is different than a wreck, than a. Than a regular, than the one that they play with on every dial.
The kicking balls aren't that.
They slick.
They're slick. Now the regular, that ball looked like.
It had a little sheen on it.
Yeah. The little shine on it.
Yeah. I'm not. No, I'm not. I don't. I'm not making excuses because Lamar hit him. He should have caught the ball. But I want, I don't know chat. Y'all know the difference.

The Eagles will host division rival the Washington commanders with a 28:22 victory over the Rams. Saquon Barkley ran wild again. He had another 26 carry game, 205 yards with two touchdowns, both runs. I think he's had four touchdowns. All four touchdowns against the Rams this year covered at least 60 yards. Jalen Hurt suffered an injury in that game, so we'll see how that plays out. But he did finish the second half. So with the super bowl riding on it, Buffalo is in Kansas City.
