KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Ryan Gold’s NFL Gambling Suspension and Appeal

[03:08 - 10:30]

• Breaking News: Cardinals personnel executive Ryan Gold is appealing an indefinite suspension for violating the NFL's gambling policy. The NFL alleges Gold supplied confidential info about 2026 draft selections before announcements and participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games.
  • Attorney’s Claim: Gold’s lawyer claims the gambling was done by Gold’s wife, who played $10 weekly parlays with high school friends and that Gold himself had no involvement.
• Hosts' Reactions:
  • Shannon Sharpe (Day County) calls out the flimsy optics:

    “He put that on wifey and he already know better... You have enough players that have gotten in trouble with gambling just last year... and here you go thinking you’re exempt?” (03:48)

  • Chad Ochocinco doubts the defense:

    “Why would your wife even put you in that situation? Knowing who you are? ... The NFL, they know everything that’s going on.” (04:36)

  • Joe Johnson (ISO Joe) and the panel reflect on personal boundaries:

    “One of my partners hit me… He say, ‘Joe, they got you picked to be under 16. What you think?’ I hung up in his damn face, man. Don’t call me with that, man.” (09:40)

• Broader Point: The group stresses that as a pro, all bets—even indirect—reflect back on you, and the league’s surveillance is thorough.
• Notable Moment:
  • The crew jokes about what $10 parlays can really win:

    “Unless you got a 15, 20 pick parlay, and $10 ain’t paying out nothing.” (Day County, 07:08)

  • General consensus: The appeal is probably futile, as appealing to the NFL is like “appealing a speeding ticket to the chief of police.” (08:17)

[Day County]

Cardinals personal personnel executive Ryan Gold is appealing his indefinite suspension for violating the NFL gambling policy. NFL said its investigation determined that Gold provided confidential non public inside information regarding the 2026 draft selection by the Cardinals before the picks were announced and that goal also participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games. Gold attorney claims the gambling activity was Gold's wife making $10 weekly bets with a group of high school friends on a parlay and that Gold was not involved.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Wow.

[Day County]

He put that on the wifey.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

He put that on wifey and he already know better, man. You already know better. You have. You have enough players that have gotten in trouble. That's gambling players just last year at that. And here you go thinking you're exempt from the rules, knowing that they following YouTube based on emails, based on phone numbers. They know everything that's going on, man. Coaches, players, they know everything. I don't. I don't know why you even try it.

[Day County]

Joe Ocho. I'm an NFL. If I'm in the mlb, I'm in the NBA. If I'm in a professional league, my wife my ain't nobody. Because guess what happens. It's coming back to who you

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

every time.

[Rach]

Why.

[Day County]

Why would you. Why would your wife even put you in that situation? Why would your knowing who you are. It what this the NFL and y' all please please spare us with this. Oh but you want to gambling. I'm not an NFL player. Ocho is not an NFL player. Joe is not we former so if we wanted to bet, we could as an executive of a professional team. I don't know why your wife would even do that. Yeah, I would even help my sister. I wouldn't help my homeboys no pit because I was a current player. You know you can't do that. And then the wife. I'm not saying women don't gamble. But the most a weekly parlay, bro. Good luck getting out of that. Good luck. Cause guess what because they said what it said. Provided confidential, non public inside information regarding 2026 draft selection by the Cardinals before the picks were announced.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Now, who. Who's the only person that would know that somebody got.

[Day County]

Got, got, got snapped. Got. Got pinched. Well, where you get that information from? You do realize when was the last time you seen somebody hold up a perch? Now, when the last time you heard somebody hold up a. A marlin, a tuna or shark? Bro, you're NFL. You know what the NFL tried to do as far as cleaning up Gambling?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh, my God.

[Day County]

I hopefully, I hope, I hope this man ain't put his career on the line or his wife put this man in harm's way for $10 weekly parlays. I hope the reports are this is an alleged. But I hope, I pray this man did not. His man's wife did not put this man's career in harm's way for $10. Joe Ocho. I hope that's not the case.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

What that payout look like?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

You wonder what they pay?

[Day County]

Unless you got a 15, 20 pick parlay, and $10 ain't paying out nothing. Hey, how big? How big? How many picks you making? Now, you see, somebody can take a $20 and they might have a 50 pick parlay. You hit them all, you win a million five. Yeah, but you gotta pick, okay? The Dodgers gonna win the World Series. The Cincinnati Bengals gonna win the Super Bowl. Miami Heat gonna win the NBA Championship. You gotta pick all that. This team's gonna. This team, this guy's gonna win the mvp. This team's gonna win the hockey pussy. You got it? I just.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Hey, he didn't got. He didn't. Got suspended indefinitely. Now, I'm not after that. I'm not sure what the appeal can do. All the appeal does, it makes it even worse because guess who you peeling it to now? They really gonna do some digging.

[Day County]

Who are you peeling it to?

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

The NFL.

[Day County]

Just imagine, I get a speeding ticket, but I'm gonna go appeal it to the chief of police. It was his damn department that gave me the damn ticket.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Yeah, that's a good. That's a good one.

[Day County]

Why am I wasting my time taking my black ass? That's why you have independent. That's why you have somebody to issue the ticket or charge it with a crime and then somebody else to hear them. When you go to court, I sure, I chat, I pray, and I hope this man's wife didn't potentially put this man in harm's way playing a weekly parlay. I hope that ain't the Case, Like I said, I mean, my homeboy used to ask me all the time, man, Sharp. You know I do. No. Cause you win a couple of times, you know what's gonna happen? You gonna start bragging. You gonna start bragging. I know you. Hell, I grew up with you, man.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I know exactly what you mean.

[Day County]

I'm good, cuz.

[T-Mobile User]

Hey.

[Day County]

Hey, I'm good.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

One of my partners hit me. I was playing in tbt. That's that two million dollar tournament.

[Day County]

Yeah.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He called me the morning of the game. He say. He said, hey, hey, Joe, they got you picked to be under 16. What you think I hung up in his damn face, man. Don't call me with that, man. Hell, I can't focus on the damn game.

[Day County]

You don't call me with this.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Come on, man. Come on, man. Yeah, I hung up on it. I hung up on him. O. Joe hung up, man. Don't call me with that, bro.

[Day County]

Yeah, for sure.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Talking about he trying to see how much money he need to bet. Man, get off my phone.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Hey, that's funny.

[Day County]

I can't. I can't do it because. Because you. Ooh. You already know your home. Chad. Chad. Oo. Cinco Johnson scooped up in a gambling ring.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

She sure not me. No, sir. They don't call me, ask me nothing. I don't know.

[Day County]

No. I want no part of that. But I hope it works out for you, bro. I really do. Nightcap. Big three is happy to be partnered with the Big Three. And we'll keep you up with the league all season long. Will be the number one destination for all game recaps and analysis all summer long. Miami 305, beat the Dallas Power 5,000, 144. Huge upset. Michael Beasley took over, dropping 27 and

[ISO Joe Johnson]

10,

[Day County]

three triples to carry Miami past Dallas. Lance Stevenson backed it up with 16. Dallas drops to four and one. Joe, I mean, look, this thing is, like, really tailored. It's really hard to keep Beasley under 20. Yeah, because he can shoot the three. He could put the ball on the floor. He got a mid game. He can post you.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And he's six, nine.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Yes.

[Day County]

And he lefty.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah. Any 11 he can play. I mean, I ain't never took that away from him. I think we all know the boy got plenty of game, you know what I mean? When he locked in, it's hard to stop him, bro. I ain't gonna lie to you. And plus, Dallas Power, you know, they. They're a collective unit, Uncle. Oo. They ain't really gonna have no One guy gonna go for no. 27, 30 points. They gonna beat you collectively with a great unit. And you know, knowing that they were undefeated, I'm sure 305 knew they had to come here and get this win because without this dub, you know, it would probably put that it was open for them. Yeah, it probably, they, they wouldn't have made it to the postseason. So for 305, man, getting in that wins column, getting, getting another dub and you know, kind of selling power down a little bit, but power still gonna be good, bro.

[Day County]

Yeah, Lance backed him up with 16, but like you said, they scored 43 of the 51. But that's what you expect. They got, they got two big name guys. Guys that played had Lance. I mean, at one point in time I thought Lance could have been an all star. He had one season where he really could have been an all star.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Day County]

Now he has some shenanigans that people like, come on, bro, you better than that. Yeah, yeah. But he was entertaining. He was absolutely entertaining.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Day County]

And Michael Beasley, look, we know what Bees. Bees could have been. He just needed a mentor. He needed guidance.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yep, yep.

[Day County]

That's what he needed.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Day County]

But he had some, some issues that, that needed to be dealt with. Yeah, that he needed to get the right people to ride him, Ocho and Joe and, and kind of lead him in the right direction. And he never got that. Yeah, he never got that. And you look at him and you just like, damn, what could have been, what should have been.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, they got a, a, they still got a chance to get hot. I think with Lance and Bees, that two headed monster, you know, when they clicking on all cylinders, is they gonna be a hard team to beat. Plus you got them hard working guys like Sean Williams who, who do all the dirty work. I think he was defensive player of the year last season. So they got a team. They got a pretty good team, bro. They just got to put it together.

[Day County]

The Chicago triplets beat the LA Riot 50 to 31. History was made in Chicago. Montreal Herald poured in 42 points on, on 16, 26 shooting the most points ever scored in a big three game, breaking the record of 37 set by Isaiah Brisco back in 2024. He added 11 rebounds, dominated the paint from the opening tip. Dwight Howard missed his second straight game with a groin injury. Joe T.R.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

be balling, boy.

[Day County]

Trez was putting stuff up. Trez just was throwing a couple of corner threes up. He just threw it up and it went in. Yeah, that's what you like, yeah, it's, I'm on one tonight. It's gonna be a good day, you

[ISO Joe Johnson]

know it's gonna be a good day today. He got off to a pretty good star uncan oo. But I think this is just his second game he played this season, bro. He hadn't been really playing and I think he had like 32 or something.

[Day County]

He had 34 the other game.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

34, 34 in that first game. Then he come back with 42. He set the record.

[Day County]

But he said he played in another tournament the night before. Tbt.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

He played in that the other, the day before. They lost.

[Day County]

Yes.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And he said he didn't play up to his capabilities. So he said he had a lot left in the tank. He said that's what he told the guys before the game today. He said, man, I told him I had a lot left in the tank and I was gonna go yard and I, I boy, look, the boy went off. The boy, I'm watching the game. The boy went off.

[Day County]

42 or they 50 points, Joe.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

They only going to 50.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

Ocho, that's crazy.

[Day County]

42 of the 50.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

But listen, with the LA ride, without Dwight Howard, they had nobody, I mean nobody who could stop. Dude, bro, he would give. He was doing what he wanted. He was doing what he wanted and he got through all the spots making shots like, I'll say, hell, he threw up a three one time. I, I he surprised his damn self and win.

[Day County]

I'm like, damn. Yeah. So Montreal's Harold scores the most points in a a big three game. Poured in 42 points, breaking the previous record of 37 by Isaiah Briscoe. Just said, just in 20, 24, 16 of 26 shooting, 11 rebounds. So it just wasn't one sided. The ball Hogs beat DMV Trilogy 51, 27. A Wide Awhile beat down. Jeremy Pargo led the way with 21 and knocked down a four while DeShawn Stevenson muscled up 17 points, 10 rebounds for a double double. The ball hogs getting it going. I think dmv didn't they lose back to back games, Joe?

[ISO Joe Johnson]

I think so. You know ball hogs coached by Gary Payton. So yeah, he gonna keep him some dogs over there, you know what I mean?

[Day County]

Bad gp.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't help it because he exuded so much. Uncle Ocho mean like talking to him before the game, like he just give you that energy that you need to go out there and compete. And then when you look at Jeremy Pargo, I think hell, the last three games he probably averaging about 24, 23 points a game. And that's what they gonna need for them to be able to succeed and make it to the postseason. You know, I talk to Jeremy pretty often. Me and Jeremy Parko probably talk at least two, three times a week. And I was just telling him, bro, look, you gotta stay aggressive. You. You have to go out there and put your imprint on the game. And the past three, three, four weeks, Uncle Ocho, he been doing that. I don't really know what's going on with Trilogy, but it seemed like they got off to a great start this season. But, you know, as the last few games, they've been struggling, so.

[Day County]

Yeah. Yeah, they have.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah.

[Day County]

Do what it, Ocho, I said.

[Chad Ochociko Johnson (Ocho)]

And boy, gotta find a way to stay hot now.

[Day County]

Yeah.

[Kohler Ambassador]

Hey, hey, hey.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

And I know Stephen Jackson don't like that.

[Day County]

The Houston Rig Hands beat The Detroit amp 51 44. Isaiah Austin anchored the big rigs. The rig hands. That is 19 points, 13 rebounds. Jonathan Simmons added 18 points on 21 shots to push the push Houston to a win. Detroit falls to owing four, is officially eliminated from playoff contention.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Damn.

[Day County]

God dang, Joe, they got us out of there.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Yeah, out of there.

[Day County]

Oh, you officially eliminated.

[ISO Joe Johnson]

Hey, Detroit. I'm sorry, man. I apologize to the city of Detroit. I wish I could have, you know, helped in some form of fashion. Hell, I wish I could have been playing, but unfortunately, God had other plans for me. You know, this go around, so we'll, we. We'll see what happens next year. But it's unfortunate. Un. Oo very.

[Day County]

Yeah, heal your ass up and get back out there next year. Make it a. Look bad

Better World When Kohler, global design leader in luxurious kitchen and bath products, asked me to be their ambassador for timeless, elegant, durable cast iron, I said, I'm in. Soon after, I was in their Kohler Wisconsin foundry watching molten iron poured, enamel applied by hand and the beautiful finished pieces ready to ship.
