1. NFL Teams' Perception of Shedeur Sanders as Arrogant

Timestamp: [06:45] – [11:34]

The episode kicks off with a heated debate حول the perception of Shedeur Sanders, son of renowned NFL figure Deion Sanders, being labeled as arrogant by some NFL team officials. A quarterback coach from a top-seven drafted team describes Sanders as "brash and arrogant" in a team interview.

Josina Anderson counters this viewpoint by emphasizing the fine line between confidence and arrogance:

"It's about having confidence. It's about believing in yourself and believing in the work that you've already put in."
— [06:45]

She draws parallels to other quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield and Johnny Manziel, suggesting that what is often labeled as arrogance is merely self-belief and leadership essential for franchise-changing players.

Boost Mobile adds to the discussion by questioning the importance of playability over personal conduct:

"There's nothing wrong with Shador. I don't have no problem with any guy, if that's what we're talking about. That's what we're about here."
— [08:43]

2. Defense of Shedeur Sanders' Confidence and Leadership

Timestamp: [12:14] – [22:54]

Josina Anderson passionately defends Sanders, arguing that his confidence is a necessary trait for success in the NFL. She highlights the challenges faced by first-generation athletes and those from different cultural backgrounds, stressing the importance of understanding and supporting their unique abilities.

"If you're not serious about changing your franchise and having a franchise-changing quarterback, I'm not the one for you."
— [07:54]

The conversation also touches on the negative impact of pre-draft evaluations lacking cultural discernment, which can unfairly taint a player's reputation before they even enter the league.

3. Jimmy Johnson's Retirement from NFL Coverage

Timestamp: [26:52] – [53:30]

Shannon Sharpe announces the retirement of legendary commentator Jimmy Johnson after 31 years with Fox Sports. Johnson reflects on his career, expressing gratitude for the experiences and relationships built over three decades.

"The most fun I've ever had in my career... was at Fox Sports."
— [26:52]

The hosts speculate on potential successors, humorously suggesting that Gronk might take over Johnson's role:

"Who do you see replacing Jimmy on Fox NFL coverage? Probably Gronk."
— [26:59]

4. Tank vs. Roach Fight Under Review

Timestamp: [33:52] – [35:27]

A segment discusses the controversial fight between Lamont Roach and Javante Davis, which ended in a draw. The New York State Athletic Commission is currently reviewing the decision due to a technical issue with the replay video.

Josina Anderson expresses her frustration with the potential overturning of the decision, advocating for a rematch instead:

"I want to see the rematch. I want to see the rematch."
— [34:37]

Boost Mobile voices agreement, emphasizing the fairness of the original decision:

"I wouldn't be okay if they overturned it. It's a draw."
— [34:52]

5. Audience Q&A and Final Discussions

Timestamp: [35:38] – [61:14]

The hosts transition into a lively Q&A session, addressing questions from listeners about the greatest Super Bowl runs, top cities for food, and personal anecdotes.

Josina Anderson shares her experiences transitioning from CBS Sports to Nightcap, highlighting the differences in show formats and the importance of adaptability:

"I enjoyed my time there. I loved it. Despite me not being a part of it from a productive standpoint, I still enjoyed it."
— [55:15]

Boost Mobile is jet nationwide 5G network so I have to take a break from all the jokes here for just a second and put my serious voice on. Because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions in building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to. There's nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is Now legit nationwide 5G network and also provide coverage across 99% of America. Seriously? Visit boostmobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the US population. 5G speed not available in all areas. This episode of NICAP is brought to you by Cologuard, a non invasive colon cancer screening test. Did you know? Colon cancer is considered one of the most preventable, yet least prevented cancers. When caught in the early stages, colon cancer has a survival rate of 90%. So screening and early detections are key to reducing overall colon cancer deaths. That's why the American Cancer Society recommends that if you're at average risk, you begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. And a convenient way to do that is with Cologuard tests The Cologuard test allows you to be in control of your colon cancer screening through prescription based tests delivered to your door with none of the prep that's required for colonoscopy. No liquid prep, no days off, no invasive procedures. Plus cologuard test is affordable. Most insured patients pay $0 and a follow up colonoscopy is needed after a positive colon guard test. This is usually covered by insurance also. So if you're 45 years of older and at average risk, you can ask your healthcare provider about screening for colon cancer with a cologuard test. You can also request a Cologuard prescription [e-mail] podcast. The Cologuard test is intended to screen adults 45 and older at average risk for colorectal cancer. Do not use Cologuard test if you have had edemas, have inflammatory bowel disease and certain hereditary syndromes, or personal or family history of colorectal cancer. The Cologuard test is not a replacement for colonoscopies. High risk patients Cologuard test in adults 45 to 49 is estimated based on a large clinical study of patients 50 and older. False positive and false negatives can occur. Colidar is available by prescription only. A quarterback coach from a team drafted in the top seven referred to Shador Sanders as brash and arrogant in his team interview. Josina Anderson posted a very lengthy, interesting post. I'm not going to read it all, but you guys can see it. Here we go with this again.

[Josina Anderson]

Oo that's what, that's what you want from your quarterback. Listen, don't change. You know who else is brash? Can I tell you one quarterback who is brash, especially coming out of college with the way he plays, the way he carried himself by the name of Baker Mayfield. He went number one too. Yep, Number eight. Baker Mayfield was trash, huh, Cam? Brash, huh? You know who else is brash? Johnny Manziel was brash. You know, now all of a sudden there's a problem with having confidence in yourself. It's not brash. It's about having confidence. It's believing in yourself and believing in the work that you've already put in. The resume speaks for itself. Turn on the film. There's a reason he's talking the way he's talking. I believe I can come in to change the franchise. How is that Bradford feeling that way? If you're not serious about changing your franchise and having a franchise changing quarterback, I'm not the one for you. What's wrong with saying that when that's exactly what the teams are looking for? Someone with that type of confidence, not soft spoken. You are a leader of men coming in as a rookie to change the franchise.

[Boost Mobile]

You got to be confident.

[Josina Anderson]

You have to be. What are we talking about?

[Boost Mobile]

Let me ask you a question. Okay. Let's just say for the sake of argument, Ocho, everything that he said, everything that this coach said, that he's brash and he's arrogant. Can he play?

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah. Turn the face of it.

[Boost Mobile]

Can he play football?

[Josina Anderson]

That's all that matters.

[Boost Mobile]

He's a football player.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

He's not into politics. Because in politics, you need to be likable.

[Josina Anderson]

Yes.

[Boost Mobile]

That's why people will vote for you in this situation. Can he play football? That's all that matters. Does he have any issues off the field? Do you worry about having to have your phone on ring the entire night? Are you worried about. Hey, if you see my player here, give me a call. Watch out for him. Is there any such thing that you need to worry about?

[Josina Anderson]

Mm.

[Boost Mobile]

His dad was brash. I'm. I'm confused at the end of the day, can the guy play football? Yeah, can the guy. If you want a politician, if you want a cub scout, someone that's gonna be in the church. Okay, fine. I get that. I want a football player. I want him to have good character. I don't care about the brashness. I don't care about all this stuff. I don't want him to get in trouble off the field. Although I understand that young kids will make mistakes because I was young. So I'm not here to condemn for a first time mistake. I just don't want to see a repeat offender. That's what gets. That's what I get upset about repeat offenders. But I don't have no problem with Shador. I don't have no problem with any guy, if that's what we're talking about. That's what we're about here. Now, you have to understand, a lot of times, Ocho, you. We brag because we had to. Hey, a lot of times we were playing against people that were bigger than us, older than us, and we did something good. We had to let them know every time. That's how we grew up.

[Josina Anderson]

Every time. Every time. But listen, hey, listen. I understand, obviously, especially at the quarterback position, they want you to be and conduct yourself a certain way. They want you to be Tom Brady's, the Peyton Mannings, the Drew Brees. They want to lump everybody in the same category you have to be a robot. You have to be politically correct. You have to know how to talk and you have to know how to answer questions. You have to know how to keep things in house. You have to know how to fall on the sword when things don't go well. You put the blank, you put the blame on yourself. No it's me. It all starts with me. Offensively I have to play better. You know when you win you get.

[Boost Mobile]

When you lose, you take the blame. That's the. That's the part about being the quarterback. That's the ownership. That's the ownership that one has to have. Ocho this is what Justina Anderson's second paragraph. According to league sources said quarterback coach seem to have an issue with the culture of athletes who have broad fame and financial success before entering the NFL and their opinions appear appears to have to have them a problem with certain athletes. I'll leave it at that. This is how the pre draft evaluations can get jacked because of evaluators don't seemingly possess the discernment to detect intangible traits that are connected to the will and drive to win without being a stat or delineate it delineated in an analytic report. They don't. I mean if you're not. If you're not familiar with said culture.

[Josina Anderson]

Right.

[Boost Mobile]

See somebody from a different culture, somebody from the Asian culture or the Jewish culture. I couldn't but I know, I know my culture. I know how we talk.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

That man think about it And I've always said that. You've heard me say this numerous times. Chat what I respect so much about guys that parents that had money. His dad is tired. He said no, I want your money. I want to do it myself. Peyton Manning parents have money said no, I want to do this myself. Bronnie James dad is LeBron James. He said nah, dad let me put the time in.

[Josina Anderson]

I got it.

[Boost Mobile]

That says something because a lot of times we see people kids of famous or well to do they don't have that kind of drive. It takes a special type of person to go up living in an ivory tower.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

With slippers and silk pajamas.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

And say hey, I want to get it out the mud like my dad or like my mom did.

[Josina Anderson]

I got to.

[Boost Mobile]

Everybody ain't wired like that.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

For Shador and his dad did everything. He put him in the right situation. Had great coaches, had a cultivated relationship with Tom. Tom would talk to your door. Probably check them out on film. Probably work with him. What's wrong with that Wouldn't we? If every parent could be in a position to make sure their kid got the best, the best teachers, the best coaches, the best physios, would we or would he or she not do that for their child?

[Josina Anderson]

Absolutely. That's the whole point. That's the whole point in being a parent, being a father, being a mother. That's what you, that's what you want to do.

[Boost Mobile]

I'm confused.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh, it goes without saying, but just for the sake of argument, you have the other side that creates stuff like this that don't care. Oh, he's not conducting himself the way the, the way we feel he should.

[Boost Mobile]

Well, that's your kid. You didn't raise it.

[Josina Anderson]

I love it. That's all that matters.

[Boost Mobile]

I don't think there'll be a situation that he's going to get in trouble. He seemed very level headed to me. I know he gonna be level headed cause I know his dad. I know his dad extremely well and his dad jokes around, but they know he know nonsense. They know he know nonsense.

[Josina Anderson]

Especially when it's time for business. When it's time for business and perfecting your craft and getting better at your craft, putting in the work, the homework, the studying, the training, man, come on now.

[Boost Mobile]

How many times have you heard time say I'm two things, I'm coaching dad, but I'm dad first. Make no mistake about that.

[Josina Anderson]

Right?

[Boost Mobile]

His kids are very, very of the utmost importance to him. Yes, sir. He's always been this way. Y'all think he's. This is time, this is who he is. Like he behaves a little different when he on the phone with me, but he, I don't get it. But you know what, Ocho? Hey, I guess I, I, I, I, I. Bucky Brooks responded. Thanks for sharing, Justina. Every year we watch high profile quarterbacks deal with this nonsense. No one expects Shador Sanders to be perfect fit for every coach and organ necessary. Character attacks by NFL personnel and some media members with NFL backgrounds is garbage. These unflattering and unfounded remarks. Remarks haunt prospects beyond the pre draft process, including tainting the fan base opinion before the players takes the field for a squad. It's stupid. It does, right?

[Josina Anderson]

Right.

[Boost Mobile]

Perception is a person's reality.

[Josina Anderson]

You ain't gonna get away with that one. Hold on now. All right, somebody come on now. You know, I, I travel with that, man.

[Boost Mobile]

You travel with that.

[Josina Anderson]

I got all your stuff in here.

[Boost Mobile]

Perception is a person's reality. But perception is not always the truth.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh, are you in your bag? Wait a minute. Perception is not always the truth.

[Boost Mobile]

Look, he's been dealing with this his whole life, because guess what? He's been Deion Sanders son. He's been dealing with this his whole life. Yeah, he's gonna deal with it for the rest of his life. No matter what occupation that precedes him, right? For the longest time. And I still get it. I'm Sterling Sharp's little brother.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

Hey, Sterling. I said, bro, you loud and wrong, but you close.

[Josina Anderson]

You with that boy now?

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, I just. Hey, when they called me Sterling, I said, yeah, yeah. You play for Green Bay? No, I played for Denver. Oh, yeah, that's right. You the one that played for play with Farb. No, I play with Elway, but okay, but go ahead, keep it going.

[Josina Anderson]

Hey, they, they, they usually mistake you for Sterling.

[Boost Mobile]

They still do. What you mean used to?

[Josina Anderson]

They still do, you know, you know.

[Boost Mobile]

And here's what they tell me, man, y'all don't look nothing alike. I say my brother, not my dad. Hey, what the hell, you know?

[Josina Anderson]

You know, people. People today still, and most of the time as women. Most of the time it's women. It's very funny. Obviously they're fans of me and they confuse me and Tio all the time and sometimes they miss. I'm not sure how you mistake me for Tio. Tio is about 2 inches taller and he got about 40, 40 pounds on me, you know, he's 6, 3 by 230. Like, I mean, I'm confused now, you know, I'm one good looking brother. I'm one good looking brother. Now, I'm not saying my brother from another mother is ugly or nothing, but he don't look like this. So I'm not sure how you can choose the two.

[Boost Mobile]

Now, my sister and I, we look alike. You look at my sister, you tell. Okay, they brother and sister. My brother looks just like my mom. Me and my sister look like my dad. But it's okay. But I understood that growing up. Imagine I got a brother that's three years older. So he's a. I'm a freshman, he's a senior. He's good at everything. Yes, naturally. Bro, you ain't gonna be like your brother. You can't ride run your brother.

[Josina Anderson]

I'm like that. That ain't number motivation, though, you know. Ain't number motivation.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, I love that.

[Josina Anderson]

Let me tell you something. What you think Shador had to deal with being at Jackson State?

[Boost Mobile]

You ain't gonna be your dad.

[Josina Anderson]

You can't do that. Well, maybe you can do it. At the. At the. At the HBCU level. But you can't do it at pwi. So we go to Colorado. You know, he get done there. What do you say? You still hearing all the troops and the terms and all the negativity now, draft process, you showing your confidence based on the work that you've been putting in for who knows how long. Now they tell you to change because they don't like the way you conduct yourself, because you believe in yourself. You have confidence. We talked about Travis Hunter in his comparison to playing both ways in the NFL, comparing it to Shay Otani. What are we talking about? What are we talking about? It's okay. That's the confidence. That's what you need to be great at whatever it is you do. It doesn't even have to be sports. It doesn't have to be football. But the kind of confidence that Shadour has, the kind of confidence that Travis Hunter has, it's okay to be like that. Because that type of confidence is what had driven them to the point where they are in life.

[Boost Mobile]

Because guess what? So he went to hbcu. He lit it up. Oh, he should. He had an hbcu. He go to Colorado. He lights it up. O week conference, you see, I can't win. I can't win. How does he win? Ocho? He goes to an hbcu, does what he does. You say the level of competition. Now he goes to a D1. And now you say, well, the conference was weak.

[Josina Anderson]

Now when he gets to the NFL, I wonder what's going to be the excuse then when he comes in and actually changes the franchise around. Same thing with Cam Moore. Ken Moore is a little different. Ken Moore's approach to the game and the way he conducts himself is a little different. Everybody personality is different. Yes, but personality is different. They're not all gonna be the same. No, some are.

[Boost Mobile]

No, I wasn't quiet, but who you telling? So don't expect me to be td.

[Josina Anderson]

Listen, I wasn't. I wasn't quiet.

[Boost Mobile]

I'm joking.

[Josina Anderson]

I'm gonna talk it and walk it.

[Boost Mobile]

Yep.

[Josina Anderson]

What type of talking and walking?

[Boost Mobile]

Yes. Quinn Ewers says he is the best quarterback in the draft over Cam and Shador. I think I'm the best in the class and the most ready for an NFL and most ready for the NFL because of what I've been through. I think I'm the most ready for the. For the situations that occur in the NFL. Injuries, playing through tough injuries, having a big name behind you. Continue to play through that Amount of pressure. Continue to be confident after being benched. It's hard to do. I matured a lot and then all the injuries I had to deal with and come back from, I wouldn't trade it. It's the reality of the position. Stuff's gonna go wrong and I have a plan of attack for pretty much any situation that can arise.

[Josina Anderson]

I like it. You got to be. See, There we go.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah.

[Josina Anderson]

Confidence again. He's spewing it in a different light. He's spewing the same type of confidence and brashness that they're talking about that Shador did, but in a different way. He just spinning it a different way.

[Boost Mobile]

Yep.

[Josina Anderson]

Using his history, his past experience. On telling you why he's available as the best player ahead of the two that might be in front of him. That's very brash. Why are you telling us that same thing? The delivery is just different.

[Boost Mobile]

Every player, every player in the draft believe they're the best player in the draft. He did go through a lot. He went to Ohio State, couldn't get on the field. He leaves and go to Texas. He came with much fanfare, got booed. They wanted Arch. Yeah. He had to play through injuries. Yeah. He's gone through a lot now. You have to. I mean, you have to be resilient. You have to be able to compartmentalize. They're going to love you one week, hate you the next, but you have to have a strong belief in yourself, Ocho. That's the number one thing. Never let them take your confidence, even all the boos, even if you get benched. You made it this far. You made it this far to give up, to quit. Because now you have a little bit more adversity than you've ever gone through. Nah.

[Josina Anderson]

Hey, listen. It take a toll on your mental too, uncle. You know it take a toll on your mental when you get benchmark.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, yeah, for sure.

[Josina Anderson]

At the quarterback position. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

Well, I wish Mr. Ers the best of luck. Jimmy Johnson retires from NFL coverage after 31 years. Jimmy said, the most fun I've ever had in my career, that's counting Super Bowls and national championships, was at Fox Sports. But I've made an extremely difficult decision and I've been thinking about it for the last four or five years, and I've decided to retire from Fox. I'm going to miss it. I'm going to miss all the guys. I'm going. I'll see them occasionally. It's been a Great run starting 31 years ago. Who do you see replacing Jimmy on Fox NFL coverage? Probably Gronk. That's probably why they had Gronk sitting up there. I just raised him. You want that job now?

[Josina Anderson]

I want to do is. I want to do as many things as possible. I'm not sure if I could do it, too, being two places that one can imagine. First, take inside NFL Fox nightcap, huh?

[Boost Mobile]

Probably. You have to understand, normally networks like that, they're not gonna let you cross do it. Okay.

[Josina Anderson]

Don't worry about it. Never mind. Don't worry about it.

[Boost Mobile]

I'm gonna stay.

[Josina Anderson]

I'm gonna stay on it a second. I enjoy. Let me tell you what. Let me tell you something. I enjoy it. I have no problem flying to New York every Sunday night, you know, joining you and Stephen A. On Mondays and Tuesdays. Now, the more comfortable I get in that setting, which I felt okay today, a little shaky, I can be honest with you, because we family, I can talk to you like that. It's new for me. Ironside NFL. There was a certain level of comfort I had there. It's a different ball. It's a totally different ball game. So I got in rhythm, you know, as we got towards the middle and the back end of the show. But I need to hit the ground running like. Like you and him. Yeah, I mean, I need to. Y'all, y'all two. As soon as we out the gate. Y'all hit the ground running. I said, well, God damn, now I got to catch up. I got to catch up now. I'm getting better as time goes on. But, man, listen, I, I enjoy that. I. I enjoyed that a lot. I enjoyed it a lot. And I, I thank you again. Huh? You hear me? I. I've been begging for a long time. Thank you. I'm like, little brother, you ain't gonna be. You ain't gonna be able to get rid of me, boy.

[Boost Mobile]

We'll be ready. I'm gonna take me about eight weeks off. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Josina Anderson]

So is it gonna be nightcap, just me by myself?

[Boost Mobile]

No, it's gonna be first date. You by yourself?

[Josina Anderson]

Oh, that's fine, that's fine, that's fine.

[Boost Mobile]

Give me. I ain't gonna take that kind of time off consecutive with Nightcap, but, you know, maybe a week. Have a guest. You and a guest. Then when you take off, I have a guess up like that. No, I'm not taking off eight straight weeks.

[Josina Anderson]

I like that.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, Joe. A fan posted a picture of Sepp with Sammy Sosa this weekend, and it's gone viral. It go viral?

[Josina Anderson]

Yes. Sammy.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah. Oh, you're trying to say which one? Sammy.

[Josina Anderson]

No, wait, Sammy got on Cubs outfit. Cubs?

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, yeah. No, they say. They say Sammy he black again.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, I saw that earlier. I thought somebody played around and photoshopped the picture because how. How do you go from bleaching your skin to being black again?

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, man, Sammy look like them. Look like the Williams brother, the white chick, but he does. Yeah, Sammy, darker. Whatever.

[Josina Anderson]

I think you listen, once you stop bleaching yourself, doesn't your. Doesn't your normal pigmentation come back on its own?

[Boost Mobile]

Not if you bleach it too much. Oh, yeah, he was probably on the ambient ultra. That esoterica. You, you don't remember them? Bleaching cream. They used to be bleaching cream. Hey, anybody. Anybody my age or older know about them bleaching creams? There was Ultra, there was Ambi, there was Noxzema, and there was esoterica. Anybody know about them?

[Josina Anderson]

How you know all this stuff?

[Boost Mobile]

You know, you know.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh.

[Boost Mobile]

Huh.

[Josina Anderson]

Bleach.

[Boost Mobile]

I mean, I was light skinned once upon a time. On Joe.

[Josina Anderson]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[Boost Mobile]

Nah, I've been black my whole life. Even when it wasn't popular back in the 80s because, you know, back then it wasn't popular at all. Jokes. It wasn't popular till like the 90s when Michael Jordan hit. Wesley Snipes hit. Oh, yeah, because, you know, you had. You had the DeBarge brothers. You had Elle and Chico DeBarge. You had Al B. Sure, you had all them brother with the good hair and skin. Yeah. So. Nah, I've been black by popular man since 68.

[Josina Anderson]

Same same since 72.

[Boost Mobile]

Glad to have you back, Sammy. And Ohio school basketball players pulled a Draymond. Watch the video, Ocho. Uh.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, come on.

[Josina Anderson]

That wasn't no accident.

[Boost Mobile]

No. Hell no.

[Josina Anderson]

That was no accident. Now what was the point in doing that? Hey, Buddy. Buddy, who had in bringing the ball up, must have been giving him that work, huh?

[Boost Mobile]

He did it in the playoffs. Old boy must have been cooking him.

[Josina Anderson]

That's what I just said. That's the only time. That's the only time they try to slow you down or do something. They do something egregious. That had nothing to do with the game. Had nothing to do. Do it playing defense. You know, I'm just. I wonder if they threw Buddy out after that or. Or you just get a.

[Boost Mobile]

Get a flavoring n. Hell, they probably threw him out of the game. What do we know what happened?

[Josina Anderson]

You know, they ain't got no instant replay.

[Boost Mobile]

I mean, he folded up like a lawn chair.

[Josina Anderson]

Quick. Listen, anytime you get any. Anytime you hit.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, you get it. Don't take much.

[Josina Anderson]

You going down every time.

[Boost Mobile]

They call it intentional file. He wasn't ejected or flagrant file. Told you, man. They doing too much. We'd have to. Oh, we'd have to get him back.

[Josina Anderson]

But it's hard to do that in the game of basketball. This ain't the only thing you can do is set a screen.

[Boost Mobile]

Real.

[Josina Anderson]

That's it. And I'm talk about.

[Boost Mobile]

No, you set a screen for him and then run into that elbow.

[Josina Anderson]

He put your elbow up on the screen, huh? You can't got down by your side.

[Boost Mobile]

No, they don't attack. Get it back. See, I just got it back.

[Josina Anderson]

Okay, I see what you mean. I see what you mean. I got you.

[Boost Mobile]

I ain't saying it was gonna be a legal. Screen. Running mask. Running mask. See right there, that thing nice and sharp, too.

[Josina Anderson]

And hit him right there on the side of the. On. On the side of the head. We ain't looking too.

[Boost Mobile]

Open him up like a ripe melon. O.J. new York Sportsville Athletic Commission is ruined. The tank versus roach. Kneel down. The draw decision could be overturned. The New York State Athletic Commission is reviewing the matter involving Saturday's match between Lamont Roach and Javante Davis during the round in question following the Commission's request for a replay video. There was a technical issue preventing the commission from. From receiving it within the allotted time for the review.

[Josina Anderson]

Right.

[Boost Mobile]

Would you be okay if they overturned the decision?

[Josina Anderson]

No, I wouldn't. It's a draw. It came out a draw. Regardless of how we feel about the fight, the outcome is the outcome.

[Boost Mobile]

You would be okay if they overturned it? I wouldn't be.

[Josina Anderson]

I wouldn't be. Don't. Don't overturn anything.

[Boost Mobile]

No, no. So you would be. You would be against it if they were to overturn it?

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, I would, because I want to see the rematch. I want to see the rematch. I wanted to stay a draw despite it. Despite them where it should have been, a knockdown with the knee. Now, I think if they got it right the first time. If they got it right the first time, I think Lamont Roach wins on the scorecard because they ruled that as a knockdown. But since they didn't, I don't want you going back and reversing the decision after the draw has already been made.

[Boost Mobile]

Right.

[Josina Anderson]

Let's set everything up for the rematch.

[Boost Mobile]

I'm good. I like that.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was a good. Hey, Unk. That was a good fight, man. That was a good fight, man. Lord have mercy.

[Boost Mobile]

Ocho, Granny says don't come back over unless you bring him back her containers. My grandma said don't bother coming over if you don't bring back her containers.

[Josina Anderson]

Granny don't play by that Tupperware now. You talking about Tupperware?

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, somebody took my Tupperware and just want to take their time and just.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh, oh, they ain't bring your Tupperware back?

[Boost Mobile]

They did after a couple of months.

[Josina Anderson]

Oh, but, hey, listen.

[Boost Mobile]

Well, you know I got it. Yeah, I know you got it, but I want it when I'm gonna put my food in my hands. So you want me to store my food like this and put my hands in the freezer?

[Josina Anderson]

My grandma ain't play by her Tupperware boy, and she got to use it to take her lunch, too, to work, man.

[Boost Mobile]

And please, man, we just put. We ain't have no Tupperware like that, man. We put aluminum foil on top of everything. We had no lids. Hey, y'all. Maybe y'all did. We have no lids in the 70s and 80s. Food just be all out or you put aluminum foil over the top of it. Yeah.

[Josina Anderson]

I bet you have. I bet you didn't. You didn't keep your grease and. And the coffee. And the coffee Bean. The coffee.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, that Maxwell put It on right on the. Right on the stove.

[Josina Anderson]

Come on, now. We don't live the same life. Come on, now.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah. Hey, I'll. I'll. Like I said, I ain't know nothing about. I ain't know nothing about no Tupperware. Hey, we have no Tupperware, right? I mean, we had. You know, our drinking glass was old. Grape jar was a great jelly jar, mayonnaise jar. You done took the hot water and scrape and scraped the thing off the side of it. You ain't brought no drinking glasses.

[Josina Anderson]

Same, same. Yeah, I remember those days at all.

[Boost Mobile]

Like I said, I ain't know nothing about this until I got to. Till I was in the NFL. I ain't know nothing about no Tupperware. I heard people mention it, but we didn't have that. Like I said, my grandma put aluminum for. Hey, cover that dish, boy. Aluminum four. Cover it up.

[Josina Anderson]

Hey, I'm just thinking about breakfast, man. Back in the days. I don't know if you know about Quake Oats. Listen, I remember my granddaddy, man, either I asked for two things for breakfast. I eat that quick. Oats, oatmeal or Cream of Wheat. I don't know if you remember Creamer Wheat. And he would use evaporated milk that come in the white cans.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, I know exactly. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know you weren't supposed to drink that milk. I didn't know you weren't supposed to drink it. I didn't know that you supposed. It blends. You make cakes and stuff with that. I didn't know you weren't supposed to drink it. But me and my brother used to wonder, like, man, why every time we drink this milk, our stomach be tore.

[Josina Anderson]

It's too damn thick. I don't know what. I don't know what was in there.

[Boost Mobile]

That's all we had. Hey, we get some water. Yeah, in that canned milk. Hey, boy, drink some of that can. Okay.

[Josina Anderson]

Put a little water in there. Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

Hey, now. And it had to be. The milk had to be really small. I mean, it almost had to be clabber. You know what clabbery is like? It's coagulated. If it was like that, we wouldn't drink it. But, hey, if it's just a little spell. Oh, you got to go into cereal. You got going up in here. Hey, my grandma. You be okay, boy? Yeah, thank you. But, yeah, my grandma wouldn't. Hey, you gonna be toting the dish out there with aluminum foil over. You weren't getting no Tupperware, so you were Good, Ocho. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Thanks. Grabbing on time. Marley's five. Jb. JB did guard Luca in the finals, but the Mavs put their worst defender on him. Luca on the other end of the court. That's not giving the best player on their own. Your own team. JT all the way. Okay.

[Josina Anderson]

Bring that to me one more time.

[Boost Mobile]

She said, JB did guard Luka in the finals, but the Mavs put their worst defender on him. Luka on the other end of the court. That's not giving the best player on your own team JT all the way. He said, yes. JB guarded Luka, but Luka in turn, guarded jb. So JB had a weaker defender guarding him.

[Josina Anderson]

Okay, I like that.

[Boost Mobile]

I like that.

[Josina Anderson]

Now that just. That's just one series. It's just one series. Now we talk about the complete series. JB look like that guy. Not just that one scenario she's talking about. Look like that. The entirety of that playoff series in general in its totality.

[Boost Mobile]

Isaiah, Lancaster. What's good, UNC and Ocho. Two questions. What's the greatest super bowl run in league history? And what are your top five cities with the best food? I mean, I. Ain't I the best super bowl run? Wow. I mean, you got to take somebody with a wild card. I mean, they've been pretty good. I mean, we were the wild card team.

[Josina Anderson]

Somebody went nine and eight. I can't remember what year it was. Somebody went nine and eight. They were a wild card. And one is whole.

[Boost Mobile]

Maybe Eli and them. I think Eli and them was about to be 9 and 9 and 9 and 7. And the Broncos, the 19 and the 19 Raiders. Yeah, that's tough. I'm gonna say I'm biased. I'm saying ours because we beat the defending champs at the end of our super bowl run.

[Josina Anderson]

Right?

[Boost Mobile]

We were 12 and 4, so we beat a 13 and 3 team. What was the state. Oh, oh, Steelers, I think The Steelers were 12 and 3. Was 12 and 4, too. But they won. You know what I'm saying, Ocho? They won the division, so.

[Josina Anderson]

Right.

[Boost Mobile]

Obviously, they got home. Home field advantage.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah. Beth, what are your top five cities with the best food? Ocho. I'm not a foodie like that, so I don't really go out.

[Josina Anderson]

I got you.

[Boost Mobile]

Okay, what you got?

[Josina Anderson]

New Orleans first, but nobody said we can argue. Chicago, Miami. Because it's a melting pot. It's a melting pot of every culture and every Ethnicity. They have restaurants there in their own communities. La, you can get a little bit of everything in la. And five to round things out. Ah. I said Chicago. I said New Orleans.

[Boost Mobile]

You don't like New York?

[Josina Anderson]

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. I'm go in New York. Okay. I'm go in New York. New York has some really, really, really good gyms. You would have to really know and understand the city and know where to go, especially if you're. If you're a local. Ain't no way to hit all the spots. But those five places, especially New Orleans, we talk about food.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, I ain't no food like that, man. Give me Memphis, I'll take. I'm gonna take Memphis. Houston, New York, Chicago. I'll give you New Orleans. I don't really care. I ain't in the shell. I ain't in the shellfish like that. And they put a lot of crab and stuff in it and all that, but I. I can see a lot of people say New Orleans, but I'm gonna go. Kevin, you're up. I'll bet you the Cavs go further in the playoffs than the Laker. Whoever Wins, get the 5200 from Ocho. Want to go out on the limb. Kev.

[Josina Anderson]

Every time I think you Forgot about that 5200, somebody in the chat bring it up.

[Boost Mobile]

Cause they know you owe Pookie.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, I'm not. Oh, but listen, as long as I owe you, you know what you talked about you saving, right? So I'm saving. I'm helping you save. I'm gonna save that money for you.

[Boost Mobile]

My money. Drawing interest in your pocket.

[Josina Anderson]

Listen, whatever the interest is, you let me know, and I'm gonna give it to you.

[Boost Mobile]

No, give me my money and let me draw interest on it. That's what I need. Dude said Ocho had a smile on his face. Seeing you. Had a smile on my face. Seeing you on First Take. Congrats. How do you think Ojo did today on First Take? He did well. He was there for the entire show, so that lets you know he wasn't just there for football segments. He stayed through the entirety of the show.

[Josina Anderson]

Matter of fact, my weakest part of my game, especially when it comes to conversing and talking sports. Basketball. Basketball. I'm trying to get to the point like you and Stephen A can get. Boy, listen, y'all get to going and get to talking and diving deep, and I'm like, man, what the heck?

[Boost Mobile]

What?

[Josina Anderson]

But when I can do. When I can do that, because, listen, I can reverse in soccer, I can reverse in football. I can talk baseball, I can talk hockey. But if I can get to the point where I can talk basketball the way you can, the way you watch it. Or Perk or George Sedano or Tim Leger, man, listen. But y'all ain't gonna be able to pull me off TV message, man.

[Boost Mobile]

Dr. Frankie L. Bellamy. Ocho pulled up at first take looking like he was about to debate sports, sign a max contract, and close on a mortgage all before lunch. Happy to see y'all together on first date. Thanks, Doc. Appreciate the support.

[Josina Anderson]

Hey, Doc, I clean up well. Now, you know, I'm a representation of Nightcap, so I gotta be sharp.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You.

[Boost Mobile]

You cleaned up.

[Josina Anderson]

Now I gotta be sure.

[Boost Mobile]

Sir. Kate said. What's up, guys? Two questions, Ocho. How can the Bengals this offseason change up the slow start so they can get back into the title picture? And who should my Panthers look for the draft to help Bryce Young and the team? A wide receiver? A offensive lineman? Go ahead, Ocho. What. What do you think the Bengals can do?

[Josina Anderson]

I mean, listen, out the gate, just be a little bit more aggressive out the gate, be aggressive. Throw everything in the kitchen to sing at whoever it is we playing. There's no reason we should have lost that game to New England. There's no disrespect to. No. No disrespect to the Patriots. I think they, what, maybe won, what, four games all season long? Something like that. You know, there's no reason why we should come out the gate slow. And not only did we do it last year, we did the year before that and the year before that. Hell, even the year when we had the super bowl run, we lost the first two of the season. We got to find a way to start fast. We're not playing behind the eight ball. Having to rely on teams to lose on the back half of the season.

[Boost Mobile]

Yes, hope so.

[Josina Anderson]

And so lose because they give us a chance to squeeze in.

[Boost Mobile]

No.

[Josina Anderson]

Take care of your business early in the season, you know, on the back end, you don't have to worry about nobody else.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah.

[Josina Anderson]

Everything is in your control.

[Boost Mobile]

I like controlling my own destiny.

[Josina Anderson]

Destiny? Yes, sir.

Kimber Norwood Jr. Said, oh, my question is, would you or Ocho be a guest star on a sitcom like Neighborhood or Papa's House?

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, I like it, I like it. Listen, no, I'm. I'm a regular on sitcoms, you know, making guest appearances for those that don't know. In the chat, you know, I was on a game. I was on a game. I did Shark, Nandu, God was the. It's another three more shows I did, man, I can't remember, but it's something about, hey, when you do TV like that, there's a saying, it's called hurry up and wait, Uncle. You be there all day.

[Boost Mobile]

You do.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, you be there all day. That's. That's the only thing.

[Boost Mobile]

You don't have to tell me anything. I know you've been on commercial shoots you for 30 seconds. You out there 12 hours.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

J.W. ackroy. What's about disturbing ever flex on you for snitching on him? No. Guess what? I would tell again. I mean, snitching is not a one time thing for me. I was good. I did it for a number of years and I didn't even have to go in witness protection. I'm walking around there, broad daylight. Do what I tell again. I'll do it. What? Hey, why you laughing? They already know. Hey, Dan said, great job. Nightcap. How did you handle leaving CBS Sports? And Ocho, how did you handle going from the Patriots, facing adversity and a new system? Look, I appreciated the opportunity that CBS gave me. Sean McManus and Tony Batitti. Sean McManus just retired from CBS after 25 years. Tony Batitti, he runs the Big Ten now. He was my first boss. I went in, sat down, talked to him, had a great call with him, had a great talk with him. They basically offered me the job on the spot. To this day, every time I see Tony Batiti, nothing but love. He ended up leaving, going to the MLB Network. And so Sean was there. Look, they wanted to go. Tony Gonzalez was a fresh face. He was a bigger name. And they want to move in a different direction. I appreciate the opportunity they gave me for 10 years. Although I knew I had a lot more knowledge than just football knowledge. I needed something to like what they was doing on first tape. But they had all the slots, so I had to do my own thing for two years. And when Skip left, I went on. I filled in for Stephen A. For a week, filled in and the rest is, as they say, history. I don't begrudge Leaving any place because you gave me an opportunity. I got 10 years out of that. 10 years. It kept me close to the game of football. It allowed me to talk about the game of football. I met one of my best friends, Fred Shimizu. Camera three, you heard me talk about him the other day. Look, I got along with everybody. Tony, everybody. Greg was great to me.

[Rocket Mortgage]

Boom.

[Boost Mobile]

Pk, Pat Kerwin. We got along great. Coach Kower, Danny. It was just time to move on. And I don't begrudge it. I love that. I love my time. Jb. I still stay in touch with some of the guys. Me and J. Mainly me and jb, Me and Freddie, we talk occasionally. Not like we used to, but. Nah, it was a great opportunity and you learned. But, yo, man, after a while, you can't get mad at every time. You know, it's time for you to move on, right? Keep your head high. I leave the same way I came in there. I came in there a little prideful. I came in there with my head high, with dignity. I'm gonna go out the same way. Got seven years. Seven years at Fox. Appreciate the opportunity, man. The Friends look, it was different because when you go somewhere every day, Ocho, like I did at Fox, you know, the wardrobe, Autumn and Tracy, you get to know them on a first name basis. You see them all the time. And when you with Brett and Jumpsuit and all those guys and the stage manager with Johnny and Karen and, oh, man, it was great wardrobe. They asking me, you know, what do I do, what I need. Man, I wouldn't trade those experience for anything because it helped me get better at what I do. Currently Nightcap, Club Shay Shay going on first take. It's different. It's not as debate. It's not as much one on one that I was used to at first Undisputed, but, man, all those experiences helped me to get right here. How was your experience at the Patriots?

[Josina Anderson]

I mean, it was. It was awesome. It was awesome. The transition, obviously, coming from Cincinnati, seeing the way one organization is run in going to New England and understanding what the Patriot way was and being able to see and not have a great understanding, okay, this is the way they run things, you know, it's very, very militant, very militant style. Never been part of the Navy Seals or the Marines, but if I had to take a guess on what it's like being there, it was something like being part of the Patriots. Everybody's very disciplined. Everybody's expendable. Keyword. Everybody's expendable except 12. And everybody is held accountable as well. Everybody's on the same playing field. No special treatment for nobody. Obviously, I got there a little late. I wish I'd have been there a little earlier so I get a better grasp of the offense. A lot of people say, well, you didn't know the plays. Listen from team to team. Nothing changes from an offensive perspective outside of the verbiage and the way the players are called. Nothing different. So it's. So what you do want, and which I was hoping I could do, was pick it up fast enough where I could play fast without thinking, right. Those who you saw in Cincinnati. So you can't get that with so many other weapons around me and me trying to catch up to everybody else in the offense where, okay, we got to go, we got to go. And that's what happened in that one year. It was a great fit for me as a predominantly outside receiver. That offense really didn't suit me well. Even though Tom Brady's my quarterback, for the simple fact that my last name is.

[Boost Mobile]

No, he likes to throw inside the numbers. That's why you see Edelman, Amendola, you see Wes Walker, those were the guys that kind of led into tight ends always.

[Josina Anderson]

And that's one of the few offenses in the NFL where the offense is run from the inside out, which is completely different from any other team. Most teams, obviously, you know your first reads or your outside guys and you work your way in. When it comes to New England, inside, inside out. Edelman, Welker, you had Gronk, you had Aaron Hernandez. Boom.

[Boost Mobile]

You got Amendola.

[Josina Anderson]

Yep. Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

He had Troy Brown.

[Josina Anderson]

Yes, yes. So the offense has always been like that. Listen, but I enjoyed my time there. I enjoyed my time there. I loved it. Despite me not being a part of it from a productive standpoint, I still enjoyed it. I. I really did. I really did.

[Boost Mobile]

Big boy toys. Chad is low. Is a. Chad is a low key genius. I think we need to start listening to him more.

[Josina Anderson]

I need. I need. I need better context on that, on why he thinks I'm a genius. You know, I don't.

[Boost Mobile]

I want to know. I want. But I want to know why he thinks that. I don't need no context.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Go ahead and tell why you think I'm a genius. Yeah.

Kevin Brooks said, Coach prime said, don't allow my confidence to. Or to offend your insecurities. Also, the twins, Ryan and Riley are now hitting homers in softball. Ryan qualified to compete at the Texas High School State Powerlifting Meet. I suppose I Notice Kevin Brooks? Nah, I don't know if I know Kev. I supposed to know you, bro.

[Josina Anderson]

Well, I know. I know you're not Kev. What they do, baby. Tell them boys I said congratulations.

[Boost Mobile]

You know it, don't you?

[Josina Anderson]

No, I do not, though.

[Boost Mobile]

Oh, no?

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah.

[Boost Mobile]

Well, I'm thinking if they're hitting homers and softball, they're girls, they're women.

[Josina Anderson]

The twins.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[Josina Anderson]

Yeah. Hey, I got a question. Okay. Can you say that quote you just said from prime that you just read off?

[Boost Mobile]

He said, oh, don't allow my confidence to offend your insecurities.

[Josina Anderson]

When people always say, he's so humble or, you need to be humble, that quote fits very well with that.

[Boost Mobile]

Yes.

[Josina Anderson]

That quote fits very well with that. Because you're telling me you want me to be humble. You want me to dim my light, stop being who I am so you can shine. Then why you want me to dim my light? Why you want me to be humble? Does it offend you? Does it make you uncomfortable?

[Boost Mobile]

Right?

[Josina Anderson]

Come on, now. When you get that a lot, Ocho.

[Boost Mobile]

You get that a lot, Ocho, Because a lot of times they look. People look at people that have money, man. I wouldn't have bought that. I don't know why he bought that. So if he doesn't buy it, does that make you feel better about yourself because you couldn't buy? Cause, see, that's what you run into, Ocho.

[Josina Anderson]

Right?

[Boost Mobile]

Would I buy it? But I'm not gonna say if that's your money. Somebody works hard for the money, who am I to tell what they should or shouldn't do, right? There are a lot, Ocho, coming from where we came from. Look at the stuff. I never thought I would spend 20,000, 30,000, 50,000. A hundred thousand dollars for a watch, What? Or a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand for a car? It's easy to say when you don't have it, what you wouldn't do. But when you have it, I'm just confused. So I don't do something to make you feel better about you. So time not. So if time doesn't be who he is, does that make you feel better about yourself? Does that give you more confidence?

[Josina Anderson]

Right?

[Boost Mobile]

Or does it mask your insecurities that you possessed all along?

[Josina Anderson]

I hate when people use that word. Be humble, child, please.

[Boost Mobile]

Yeah. Oh, you need to be humble, Ocho. That concludes this episode. Nice. Nice little. Oh, I got decent time to get me some sleep tonight.

[Josina Anderson]

Me, too. Me, too. Me, too. Me, too. I gotta Be up early.
