Bobby Bones
Life is good. Life is good. 2025 is my year. Yeah.
Shady McCoy
You was telling. You was entertaining us, bro. You got a whole little plan. But I like your business. You was talking business at the end. Like, what's 2025 mean to you?
Bobby Bones
Well, we're gonna talk probably business and stuff and all endeavors and all that. But no, just. You know what? Being a better person though. First and foremost we say that, but are we really doing them steps? Be a better father. You know, Be more devoted to my savior. Like all these things I be thinking about. Cause I feel like the only thing we think about is family and how to get more money. Right. And I think if we do things the right way, we'll hit all the same avenues. You know, we'll cross that path. So just being all around better person. Yeah. That's really it.
Shady McCoy
That's what's up.
Bobby Bones
I'm trying to get married soon too.
Shady McCoy
Congrats.
Bobby Bones
You got any ladies out there that's, you know, I mean.
Shady McCoy
Oh, you don't even know her yet. You just looking for something now?
Bobby Bones
I'm dating my, like a lot.
Shady McCoy
Okay. But.
Bobby Bones
But I'm just saying until. Until the job is actually right.
Deshaun Jackson
I mean, secure it.
Shady McCoy
Can you find. Can you find like real love out here in la?
Bobby Bones
It's.
Shady McCoy
It's dangerous out here. The streets is cold.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't believe LA is different.
Deshaun Jackson
Yes.
Bobby Bones
I probably. I don't date in la.
Deshaun Jackson
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But I am open for whoever's out there. That's from me.
Shady McCoy
The right.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
What are some qualities she got to have?
Bobby Bones
She got to have a job. That's the new thing out.
Shady McCoy
I got a jizz.
Deshaun Jackson
No, I mean it is embarrassing to say that, but. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Deshaun Jackson
So something going on, right?
Bobby Bones
This half. Yeah. Like when I come home. Tell me what you did. Like, so that. What else characteristics I like. She. I beat have nice hair. I. You know, I like hair.
Shady McCoy
Tall, short. Wait, does the hair have to be hers?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Like, gotta have her hair.
Deshaun Jackson
You gotta start background checking these motherfuckers. These bras too. These days, man. Cause some of them backgrounds just be out of control.
Shady McCoy
But our background's out of control.
Deshaun Jackson
But I'm saying though. But I don't have to accept that.
Bobby Bones
Right? Right. You know what I'm saying?
Deshaun Jackson
I don't have to Accept that.
Shady McCoy
I feel.
Bobby Bones
Now, I know y'all did your research on me before you ask me all these questions. I get it. But I am a psych major, right? So the question you just asked him, I used to be like, man, what? I don't care about her. But now I do.
Deshaun Jackson
Like, hold up, million.
Bobby Bones
I gotta know, like, at least if this is what's going on with you. Why are you like that? Where's that come from?
Shady McCoy
You want to have that kind of.
Bobby Bones
Conversation, what makes you upset?
Shady McCoy
Okay.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because now I'm getting to know you for you.
Shady McCoy
Yeah. You trying to get in their mind.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Shady McCoy
Once you do that, it's over.
Deshaun Jackson
Well, hey, I. I've seen every side of a woman.
Shady McCoy
He been psych major and everybody.
Bobby Bones
You've been married for a long time, right?
Deshaun Jackson
No, I've been married. I'm married and divorced. But I've been. I've been with my girl now 10 years.
Bobby Bones
Married three. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So. So I got something I do like right now and I like a lot. I'm dating. You know what I mean?
Shady McCoy
But I mean, since you are really with the psychological side of it, what is some advice you would give some of these younger athletes these days? Because you see a lot of the. Some of these older women praying, so to speak, on these young boys.
Bobby Bones
You are right about that, bro. Damn. Oh, man. So what advice I would give them, right, is have some patience. Take your time, right? I feel like we get a girl that's popular, she's out there, and we want to just give her everything, right? You know what I mean? Everything she want be giving her. It's like, if she really like me, she going to wait. You know what I mean? Let me at least learn. You let me at least like you. We be so hyped up to get somebody that's a baddie or somebody that's popular and all that and won't even get to like her. And then when we do like her, we like. I don't even like this joint, you know what I mean?
Shady McCoy
I ain't giving her all this.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, I've been there once you hit it.
Shady McCoy
So here you go.
Bobby Bones
And. And now he's right. And another thing is, yo, get somebody that got something to lose. Like you got something to lose. Cause I be thinking, like, if we her do something right, and let's say it's wrong, we get in trouble. If you not gonna face the heat and embarrassing I'm gonna face, then why we even? And it's not about she gotta be like, Somebody. You know what I mean?
Shady McCoy
Something to lose.
Bobby Bones
But let's say you got kids, you're a really good mom, you care how you are perceived for your children.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, you gotta be solid, bro.
Bobby Bones
You know what I mean? Like, you're a good person, or you don't want your parents to see what type of. That's my thing. Like, have something to lose, you know, girls lose something, they don't care about nothing and go to the next one. I'm like, hold up, baby. Didn't you just get my man jammed up? And you want to bloss talk about it, but now you about to get with me. Now, why would I do that? That's the dumb shit we be doing.
Shady McCoy
People still will do it, though, is the problem. Therein lies the issue.
Bobby Bones
That is facts. We will do it, though.
Shady McCoy
Won't he do it?
Bobby Bones
And you ask your man. Damn, you think she gonna talk with me?
Shady McCoy
Like, she goddamn right. Two of your former brothers, man, just took jobs. Shout out to Sean Jackson at Delaware State and Mike Vick and Norfolk State to your real brothers. Your thoughts and will we see you out there with either of them this year or this season?
Bobby Bones
Oh, you abso not see me. I ain't doing no coaching. But I will say this. I'm super happy for Michael Vick. You know, I always see him being a coach, you know what I mean? I remember when we was young, wilding out, and he was like our idol playing with him, and the coach couldn't control me and Deshawn. He had to go through Vic to do it. And if O.J. vick said, you know what I mean? Do this, do that. All right, we gonna do it. I remember one time we live in weights. Damn, I love Mike. Mike. Cause Mike's a great person, you know? I mean, people don't know that, right? Even with the dog stuff and all that. Once he served his time in jail and the community service, yo, he still was out there, like, making people aware of it, and they didn't even ask him to. But story, we lifting weights. And me and Deshawn, we ain't lift weights, man. We ain't lift weights like that. So Mike's in there. So we act like we lifting. We talking about the girls of last night, you know? And Jack left. So Mike said, yeah, where'd Jack go? I'm like, I don't know where he went. I don't know where he went. So he go find him. He said, yo, man, you know, come back in the locker room. So he come back in there. He said, man, I ain't gotta lift, man. I'm natural. Yup. Mike said, what? What you mean, you natural? He said, I don't need that, man. I get it done with anything. He said, what you think? He said, what do you think I do? Fuck, you know what I mean? Like, if I'm out here working out, I got $200 million contracts twice. Why you can't do it? He said that we start lifting just the og, you know what I mean, of putting us in our place and then keeping it moving. The problem is, like, players don't like that now. So that's how Mike was into Deshaun, another good friend of mine. I'm happy for him because now he's the type of coach where he gonna motivate players. Like, we come from the same backgrounds, right? Maybe an underdog, because Deshaun's always big on the underdog, you know, and he's going to get them players and he going to make them dogs, right? And I think a lot of recruits are going to come to him because of that. And I think the. Sean's good for just a new generation of trying to control, like, being from that neighborhood, right. And still going out there and being a professional in the field, he's going to be great at that.
Shady McCoy
Your transition into media, you know, obviously your show with your brother at 25:10, but then also you've been, you know, prevalent in the Fox space the last few years, too. How that started and how. How's it going?
Bobby Bones
It's going good. You know, it's a little different for me. I think my transition was. It was harder for most because, like, I'm always the same way. If it's on tv, you know, if it's joking with y'all, that's what I do. So I had to learn on the prime time and, like, it's a little bit more professional where if I want to call a dude his ass, like, he ain't shit. You know what I mean? I can't say that. I got to say what, like, I said it about Dak, and, like, you know, I didn't like how it came off. Cause that's not what I was trying to say. I was saying, like, you know, we talk about this dude so much. I mean, he's okay, you know what I mean? And, like, he's. And he was playing ass the time I should have said that. So, like, learning that how to be different but still be myself, because I see a lot of dudes that they be a certain way on tv. Then they get off and they totally different, dude. You know, I'm like, hold up, man. This ain't even for real. You know what I mean? So I never want to be like that. But the trailers have been cool. It's been good. It's hot right now, though.
Shady McCoy
Yeah, the block is hot. I don't know what you. I mean, you don't have to get into detail, but what's the energy over there right now?
Bobby Bones
Well, you know. You know. Nah, nah. I'm real supportive of all my co workers, you know what I'm saying? And, like, I don't really know much about none of that shit, you know what I mean? Like, I don't, you know, I'm cool with everybody over there.
Shady McCoy
Where you currently stand over there. Are you in negotiations with them? Oh, you're in negotiations right now?
Bobby Bones
Yep. So it's crazy you just brought that up because we just got approached about it. I'm talking about super bowl around then. So after this year, though, I really holla at him.
Shady McCoy
You're able to balance traditional media and then obviously this new wave of media in the pocket, like, what's your goal in both?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So, you know, I like the corporate stuff, though. So that way I'm still in the light, you know, still relevant with the mainstream and all that. Cause I'm do some stuff, like I'm gonna call games probably next year, right. And then, like, I do a lot of partnerships with the NFL, and a lot of that is because I am more mainstream. But I like this side of it too, though, because this is more who I really am, right? I think culturally, like, just certain topics, conversation with different athletes and people, you know, I could do that any, any day. And I think I like that too, because I'm getting the best of both worlds, you know? So, like, it's funny, like, one day I'll give my take on a game on prime time, right? And then maybe the next day, the same conversation, I'm going to give it to you in a wholly different way. So that's why I like both of them, you know, and it's building my brand up, right? Because like, you talked about real estate. I do that. But also I'm trying to, like, you know, teach young boys to how to get money without doing different things. And I've been saying, like, if you can build, you always make money. You know what I mean? So just using both platforms.
Deshaun Jackson
Recently inducted into the Eagles hall of Fame.
Shady McCoy
Congratulations, Russia.
Deshaun Jackson
Congrats, bro. How was that?
Bobby Bones
That was cool. That was good. Like, you know, when you playing, you get all the love and all that. And then when you retire, you always wonder, like, do the people still love me the same way?
Shady McCoy
What did boy say from Payday 4? Oh, did the crowd school scream my name? Mitch, what do you say?
Bobby Bones
When I lead a gang they still.
Shady McCoy
Gonna love me, man.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So it was good, man. They had to give a speech out, you know, it was at halftime, so they turned on the lights off. See, I was really. I was ready for it. Had my little notes and all that, my little speech. And then when they shut the lights on and the fans had all the cameras and the lights, I kind of like, oh. Like, oh, okay. All right. So this, it was, I be thinking about, like, the Eagles been around for so many years, right? And it's only about like eight of us, nine of us. That's on the Eagles hall of Fame, right? I play with some great players too, so to be sucked into that, that's dope. But I think the bigger one is coming soon, though.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm gonna talk my shit about that.
Deshaun Jackson
Yes, yes, yes.
Shady McCoy
When are you eligible? What year?
Bobby Bones
Next year.
Shady McCoy
Next year. 26.
Deshaun Jackson
Yep, next year, your odds are good. Six time Pro Bowl, 2010 all decade team, two time Super bowl champ. Six 11000 yard rushing seasons. And it was dynamic from the passing side, too. You think you got a good shot?
Bobby Bones
I do, yeah. I be looking at, like, who goes in, right? Like, okay, this running back, I got numbers like him, I got touchups like him, I got all that, you know? But it's funny, I be thinking, like, I really grade a player off of who you did it with, right? So, like right now, Lamar Jackson, bro, I haven't seen nobody play as good as him in a long time. He ballin'and. I look at Josh Allen, who's always been balling, right? I look this year, he's not playing as good as Lamar, right, Stats wise. But he ballin crazy too.
Deshaun Jackson
His team ballin'but.
Bobby Bones
The difference is like, yo, who you duel with? You know what I'm saying? And y'all can contest to this from playing a game like, you got Pro Bowlers here or all NBA or this and that around you and really good players around you, okay? But if you doing that with dudes that barely making his squad and I gotta respect them more when you talk about the mvp, you get what I'm saying? So a lot of these guys, I look on this hall of Famers and running backs, you know, and a lot of them and they play with a lot of great players. Where you coming to see me and than the Eagles or more with the Buffalo when I was giving out really good numbers. Cause Buffalo wasn't like that back then like they are now. But it's hard to get 1300. So yeah, I'm always getting 16 in Philly when I had Deshaun and Vicking them dudes. But if I'm still giving you 13 plus and all that and touchdowns.
Deshaun Jackson
And Nicole.
Bobby Bones
And Nicole with backup linemen and wide receivers that go from this team to that team to this team that count for something. You know what I mean? Like one of my best friends is Frank Gore. We always talk about that. Like who we do it with. You know what I'm saying?
Shady McCoy
So with that argument, who do you do with that would give all of Lamar's playing great this year better numbers than his previous MVP seasons? Josh Allen is doing it with less.
Bobby Bones
I would give it to Josh. I think. I think they A plus to an A. Lamar's playing like A plus. Josh playing the A. Josh is winning with dudes that wouldn't make other teams. If you come into a game plan, right? Y'all know this from playing basketball. How are we gonna stop the Ravens? All right, look, we gonna watch after eight. Cause he's just. But damn, you got another MVP Ty candidate behind you. Derrick Henry, right? And then Zay Flowers and Bateman. Like you all these different dudes were in Buffalo. I mean, like who?
Shady McCoy
Josh Allen.
Bobby Bones
But he got two Pro Bowlers, the whole team. One's a left tackle, Deion Dawson, the other one's Josh. So I would give it to him. He did beat the Detroit Lions and the Chiefs. They both are number one seeds, you know what I mean?
Deshaun Jackson
But.
Bobby Bones
But whoever wins, I don't care. Because Lamar killer Lamar Prosher went MVP last year. Just being respectful. He had like. He had them same stats last year in the first half of the season. You know what I mean? But I never seen play this good, bro.
Shady McCoy
Lamar is truly his next step now is to win in the playoffs though, right?
Bobby Bones
He gonna win.
Deshaun Jackson
See, you gotta be Super Bowl. That's it.
Bobby Bones
I only buy all that they be talking. Oh, well, he's his record. Yeah, he was 29, 28. He gonna have a lot of time. I think this is his best. What last year was last year. And this year was probably his best chance to win. You know what I mean? But then again, like, I mean Patrick Mahomes ain't just he out there though. I watched Pat in 2019. I went to the Chiefs. We won a championship. Phenomenal player, right? We had everybody. Travis Kelsey was still younger. He won day in the billionaire chick, so he was really engaged. We had. We had Tariq Hill as a dog.
Shady McCoy
All right, real quick, hold your thought. Can Tyreek go back to Kansas City? Yeah, okay. Yeah, we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that later. Go ahead.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. So anyway, so we was. We was setting records, touchdowns, everything you think about. But then I watched him last year, where they lost five games. They was on the road, no playoffs. He didn't look good all year. Travis wasn't balling. And them niggas still win a championship. So I'm like, yo, hold up. You winning the best championships at your best, at your worst, you still winning. They had the most drops in the wide receivers. You know what I mean? So it's like, Jason, like, I gotta make sure this motherfucker's dead. You know what I'm saying? So you got. You gotta go beat Pat, right? Cause Pat that dude, bro.
Shady McCoy
And that's a lot of things, too, if you correlate that to basketball. When Steph and the warriors were running, there was a lot of good teams that just couldn't get past Steph and the Warriors.
Bobby Bones
I ain't think of that like, Bron probably got another chip if it was somebody else. Damn.
Shady McCoy
You never know what happens with Harden and Houston, where? Dame, Lillard and Portland, when they had them good teams. Like, there was teams that were good, but they just ran into the warriors, the Houston Rockets.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one, though. Yeah, that's a good one. We start talking sports in here, I'll be talking all day.
Deshaun Jackson
I saw a question. What happened to the Eagles team? Why y'all couldn't get over the hump when you was.
Bobby Bones
That's a good question. Andy Reid, our defense wasn't that good. Offense, huh?
Deshaun Jackson
That's what it was.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Defense wasn't that good. Offense was crazy, right? And I think we put too much, now I'm older, looking back on it, we put too much pressure on Mike. You know what I mean? Like, Mike was nice, but the way Mike play is like, he's reckless. Cause he's just a dog, you know what I mean? I ain't sliding, you know? And then, like, making him throw the ball all game like that, you know, you can get picks and et cetera. Or if you watch, like, the way they play with Lamar, even Jalen hurts. Now, some games, they will throw the ball a lot more because depending on how the game is. But to have a real good offense, I think we should have Mike run it, you know, couple times a game. Maybe not going over 30 passes. I think if you break it down like that, yo, the game's more controlled and you're not putting as much on your quarterback, you know, and you're keeping.
Shady McCoy
The defense more off balance.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that too, you know, but just like, we had a lot of turnovers, fumbles and picks and this and that. But I think if you played at a better, like, game plan, you know, with. With trying to put. Because Mike was so good, you know what I mean? They made him do everything. And I think even we watched today like, you got the superstar, but you need them other players. And if you can control the superstar enough, I think, you know, it goes a little differently.
Deshaun Jackson
Your tour and Eagles ended in 2015. You was traded for Kiko Alonzo, man, your boy Chase.
Bobby Bones
Let me stop you real quick. Serious question, though. Do you know who that is, though?
Deshaun Jackson
I have no idea who that is.
Bobby Bones
You know what that is, bro? The day when I heard the trade, Drew Rosenhaus, he said, shady. He said, this is not a joke. You've been traded. I'm like, man, what are you talking about? They're like, what are you talking about? He says, yo, they traded you to the Bills. I'm in Miami. I'm like, wait, what? And the crazy thing is, like, after this season, you know, most players, they pack up their locker because of football. Ain't like basketball. You can be going tomorrow with a five year contract. But I never touched my stuff. I know what it is. I mean, who you gonna get rid of me? So I never really like that dog. And he traded me. And then when I got to the Bills, they said it was the easiest, best trade he ever had. They said, Chip Call said, hey, would you guys be interested in Lashawn McCoy? So the GM was like, yeah, for sure. He said, but I was like, ah, they gonna. They gonna offer. They gonna want too much. You know what I mean? They gonna want too much for him. So he said to hit him back. Like, yeah, we would, but, you know, we probably can't afford what you want. Chip said, no, not the gm, Chip, the head coach. He said, nah, we gonna. We just want Akiko Alonzo. And the GM at the time was like. When he said that I was still waiting, like, like, all right, him and who else? He's like, nah, that's it. He said. He was like, oh, deal. He said it, hung up. He said, I did the deal before the coach at the time was Rex Ryan. He said, cause I already knew it was a done deal. And I was like, wow, that's how you do a trade.

Shady McCoy
But talk to us about Chip back up. Cause we've heard a lot of shit, and I haven't heard it from a player that played for him, though.
Bobby Bones
Oh, for real?
Shady McCoy
Mm. Mm.
Bobby Bones
Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, he was. What you want to know about him? What you want to know exactly how much.
Shady McCoy
How. How ain't he is, from what I heard.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he bad coach. Well, no, no, no, no. I shouldn't hear bad coach. He don't know how to. He don't know how to read the room. He don't know how to relate to his players. Like, I played on teams where, you.
Deshaun Jackson
Know that's a bad coach.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Shady McCoy
You can get away with it on certain levels. Like you can get away with it in college because it's not a dictatorship. But in the pros is different.
Bobby Bones
I mean, but he was winning, though.
Shady McCoy
That's what I'm saying. You can get away with it in college because they. College kids have to. Well, now they don't, but back then they had to buy in. He had great teams at Oregon, but it's a different style and energy of coaching, obviously.
Bobby Bones
College and pros, man, he the only player he the only coach I ever been around.
Deshaun Jackson
He got multiple college championships.
Bobby Bones
None.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, so it ain't work too well. He ain't winning at all. You ain't saving.
Bobby Bones
He ain't nobody saving.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So he ain't winning no championships. That ain't working. Yeah, he's just. Everybody up.
Bobby Bones
Seem like I'm 32.
Shady McCoy
Well, talk to us, Would you?
Bobby Bones
Happy with me? I got him, to be real. Oh, yo, he the only coach. I'm talking any color that the white boys on the squad don't like him. And none of the brothers like him. I ain't never seen that. At least you gonna have some on this side. None of that. And he was just different. Like, I mean, simple things. Like, man, y'all played on teams where there's some white dudes that listen to rock or. Yeah, rock and roll. His brothers listen to straight trap music. And there's some dudes that come up, they want some nods. They want some. So everything's different. He didn't like none of that. He was like, hey, in the locker room, y'all put your headsets in, man. Ain't no music. So all the. And I was one of the players. I was like, hold up, hold on, hold on. Like, you the coach. But this is our team, though. You can't tell us who we can listen to. And he ain't like some of that, you know, simple shit. Like, when I was a rookie, you know, the Vicks and something, they had the big cars and all that, and I had to wait to get that. So once I earned it, I was trying to get my big wheels like they did and come to the games, right? You get the outfit on, a nice little. Take the picture, you know? Cause you just fall in line, okay? That's what the. Oh, did it. That's what I'm doing. I get it. This dude, he said, yeah, man, from now on, you know, y'all drive y'all cars to the game on Saturday, and then we ride the school bus to the game. Cause we a team. We gotta look the same. He said, then after the game, you could take your fancy cars, you know, to the house. I'm like, so, wait, you wanna control what cars you driving or how we coming to the games?
Deshaun Jackson
Slave mentality, bro.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I'm talking about bro would have stuff like, okay, I'm black. I like black socks. I don't know. I just like black socks, right? He said, yo, on my team, we only wear white socks. I say, coach, man, Every year I'm gonna go for like 1200 to almost 1400 yards. Like, I do it in black socks. Now, I'm trying to, like, joke with you. Cause I don't wanna make this awkward for you. Cause you the coach and I'm the player, but we talking about socks. I said, we talking about socks right now, coach. He said, those are the rules. And he never was, like, confrontational. He was soft, like trying to, like, reason with me, you know? So I was, okay, coach, you got it. So I would wear black socks and put white tape on it. So when I go out there, he said I could see the black. I said, you see white, you see the white tape. It's just so many little things, bro. He would monitor how much sleep we get. So he's like, yo, winning teams need to sleep a certain amount of hours. I said, well, look, coach, you know, some of these dudes are young. They won't step outside that. We win the game. They want to party a little bit, right? With girls. They age. Some of these dudes, they older. They got kids. The baby might wake up 2 year old or 1 year old or whatever. At 2 in the morning, they got to get up. He didn't want to hear that. So he would drug test us and he would.
Shady McCoy
He drug tested y'all now smoke.
Bobby Bones
So I didn't really complain about it, but I would have to speak up. Cause you know. Cause nobody really wanted to go against him. He was one of them dudes, man. I'm like, well, look, man, like, dudes don't feel comfortable smoking. I mean, they don't feel comfortable coming to you about you drug testing them. Like, if the rules for the NFL is you drug test on whatever it is and they pass.
Shady McCoy
What are you doing? What are you talking about right now?
Bobby Bones
I said, coach, man. I said, listen, Russell's football team, coach. This is our last real issue. I said, coach, this our football team, man. But listen, yo, you running this shit like a. Like a. Like a jail, like a P.O. office. You know what I'm saying? Like, and you gonna lose, dude. They gonna be scared to come here. Cause they gonna hear rumors I ain't going to Philly. They talking about coach, drug testimony, time they go to practice.
Deshaun Jackson
Was he the coach to give Riley Cooper the extension?
Bobby Bones
He's another one, huh? Yeah.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah. So that's even worse. That lets you know what type of person. After he publicly had a concert. Nigga, oh, this out loud. You know what I'm saying? It's still just right. Come back and that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yo, look, when he was there, right? Check this out. So I told you he used Mike for everything. Cause Mike's the og. Mike said we gonna do it, whatever it is. So Cooper does that little stuff you just said, right? So it's everywhere now. So we. So it's a lot of dudes in there that they wanna holler at him now. I was cool with Coop. He in the office. He's younger, so it was weird for me. Cause now I'm mad at him, but he look at me like I'm big bro, you know, he texted me like he sorry and all that. I ain't really hollering at the time. So anyway, when he come there, Chip made him wait like a day or two. So we ain't seen, right? Outside of mind. We ain't really seen, but it's on the media everywhere. So when he gets there, it's after practice, he calls all in the main, like, meeting room, and he brings Coop out there. He lets Coop say, sorry, whatever, this, and third. Da, da, da, da. And then he hides him again for another, like, couple of days. So we never really seen him. He had. The day he was gonna show up, he had Mike tell the team, like, look, he said, look, man, you know, I'm from the South. I'm from this and that. Da, da, da. And if y'all ain't ever say nothing about somebody, you know what I mean? Or say words about this and that behind closed doors, you know what I mean? Y'all can't be offended. You know what I mean? You could be mad, but you gotta forgive your brother. Because y'all did it before. So I get his message, right? You know, we all say things that we don't mean, et cetera. So then when Coop came back, it wasn't as bad. Cause, you know, the big dog spoke on it. You know what I mean? But if it was anybody else, Chip wouldn't have did all that. You know what I mean? And it is a tough situation because it's real. I mean, a white dude saying that about blacks, it's a bigger thing. But he just was good at shit like that. Where if it was one of us, he wouldn't did all that.
Deshaun Jackson
A lot of shit come in my mouth, but the C and the H word never came out of my mouth for no reason.
Bobby Bones
Yep, yep.
Deshaun Jackson
I don't give a fuck. Behind closed doors or not, those words never come out of my mouth. I have no reason to. So you didn't say it before or you got comfortable Saying to say it like that, right?
Bobby Bones
And you know.
Deshaun Jackson
And you know what to get to. It might. It is the music. They singing every song word for word. So you expect them to be smart enough to pause at that point? Yeah. Nah, shit. Hell no. But I. You know, so.
Bobby Bones
Nah, nah. But I went on music. That's not why he said it.
Deshaun Jackson
He wasn't rapping.
Bobby Bones
Nah, nah, this. Nah, he wasn't.
Shady McCoy
He was at a country concert.
Bobby Bones
I don't even know Chesney. Kenny Chesney. That's all I know. Look, so I know the security guard was like. He was a black dude at All White Country Song and all that concert. And the dude was being. He wasn't listening to Cool. He didn't know who he was. He was trying to get backstage, all that type of stuff. And he said, I'll kick your nigger asses.
Deshaun Jackson
That's crazy. We was like, whoa.
Bobby Bones
But so here's the fact he said he did it. He was like. He was mad. And the first thing came to his mind to make this guy mad and offended.
Deshaun Jackson
Oh, no, that's weak.
Shady McCoy
That don't work.
Deshaun Jackson
That's weak. That's weak. I didn't see the whole. I done got into it with a whole bunch of Karens in different stores, and I ain't never called them a racist slur.
Bobby Bones
No, you're right.
Deshaun Jackson
I might have called her a. A stupid hoe or some shit like that. Dumb bitch, fat ass out of here. Some shit like that.
Bobby Bones
We get it.
Deshaun Jackson
Okay, My.
Bobby Bones
But wait, wait. But you know what's crazy, though? I said never went racial, though. Right, right, right. But, yo, I feel the same way. Like, yo, if I'm mad at a white person, right? I ain't the first I'm thinking, to call him that.
Shady McCoy
No.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you could call him all type of stuff. You can call him that. And that's why I really had an issue like that. Maybe, bro Might be, you know, But I mean, but Chip was doing stuff like, man, we be dudes. I'm married, practice. I'm like, yo, how the hell is this dude on the team? He went to Oregon. Not. I'm like, yo, you got a dude that played at freaking Alabama and he black, Right. Why he ain't in the game? We had white receivers. I'm like, yo, we got all these. He don't even how he make the squad. And I'm not even trying to be funny because there's some white boys that can play, though.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
We don't have them white dudes, you know, What I'm saying, if you want to get the white boys, I'm cool with all that. I love my. I got a white teammates. Got all my boys. All my best friends is white, you know, but give me some good ones, though. I don't want no brothers that's black that can't play.
Shady McCoy
I don't care what color they gotta be able to play. We trying to win, dog.
Deshaun Jackson
Straight up.
Bobby Bones
But he. I can go in for hours. Yeah, that dude.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah. Sour milk.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God. I could see somebody supposed to you.
Deshaun Jackson
Oh, I wouldn't have made it. I ain't playing you too.
Bobby Bones
While I'm thinking about it.
Shady McCoy
I didn't really fuck. I didn't really fuck with the coaches. That's too much.
Deshaun Jackson
You won a championship with Brady and Mahomes. What's the contrast between them two in the leadership?
Bobby Bones
That's a good one. So some of the similarities, I would say, like, competitors. Brady ain't trying to lose at nothing, like. And he's all nice and all that. He turns it on when it's time to win. Shit, I remember when I. Man, he got so many stories I can tell you about Brady. He just love to win, bro, at all costs. Packed the same way. Dudes ain't catching the ball. They ain't playing a certain way. Dudes hurt. I got it. I'm gonna do it. I remember one time we had this game and we was trying to, I guess, clinch the playoffs, whatever. And the tackle at the time, I won't say his name, but he was acting like he was hurt. Now, you know, some of the big dudes be soft as hell. Like, bro, you know what I mean? Put your helmet on, put your mouth on. Let's go play. You six, eight. Like, come on, man. Talking about his ankle or his toe or. Anyway, so Pat in the training room. So for the whole week, he's checking up on him. Checking up on him. Now, the training room. Basketball and football, it's like the hangout spot, all right? So by Friday, Pat coming in, like, is he playing? What's going on with him now? Pat's the type of partition where. This is why I love Pat, because he's himself. He don't act like he's something he's not. You know what I mean? He's his own person. He listens to his music. He gonna listen to some J. Cole, he gonna listen to some white stuff. You know what I mean? He's himself. That's why I love Pat the dude now, him being a quarterback. Hey, man, how you feeling all week he's been trying to butter him up. Cause he's a tackle. You need him. I don't know, man. I'm still kind of not comfortable he doing all this shit with his shoulders and all that. I ain't feeling good, right? So I'm watching it, you know, I'm Instagram watching this shit. I'm like, oh, man. Bro, I don't think. Bro playing Pat walk off. I'm gonna win it anyway. Winning without him. And he won that fucking game. That's the type of player, even when you watch games where they ain't catching the balls or they ain't doing this and that, the second half, he gonna do it if he's running, if he's extending it. So you can see the greatness. Cause I played with Vic Minab, Josh Allen, Mahomes Brady, so I've seen all the best ones. But when you see the real greats, you see the difference. Pat Brady, like, I remember the super bowl, man. Like, well, Brady. Cause you asked about the similarities or whatever. We playing the Bucks earlier that year, the Bucs beat the hell out of us. So the coach was like, yo, look, man, you know, they gonna play this coverage. This, that, and the third. So Brady used to have his own meetings. So he. He called a skill position, like quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends. He said, yeah, I heard what coach said. They not gonna play us in that shit. He started, we met together. Then when we left, he sent us individual, like, recordings. Like, he was in his crib watching tape. He going over every D back. This is super bowl week. This shit's crazy. He like, yo, this dude right here, you know, he lacks long speed, so he holds a lot. You can beat him with goal balls. This dude right here, you know, he doesn't do well against. Oh, he's only good in his own. He gonna do all the players, starters and backups. I'm like, damn, this dude must have took two days. No eating, no sleeping, going over every position. So he said, look, they gonna play us in this coverage. When we got to the game, they played us in the same coverage that Brady talked about. While the coach was saying they do this, he has his own little meeting saying they gonna do that. And he did it. I'm like, this white boy is cold.
Shady McCoy
Cold dope, bro. That's hard.
Bobby Bones
Different. So exactly what they did. Come on, man. And then they both like. It's crazy. Cause when I went to the Chiefs, Pat was asking me about Josh Allen, because Josh is talented as a Mother, you know what I mean? Josh Cole, he wanted. He wanted to know. And he got brother name. He would love him because he's played like. And you can't chomp me. Yeah. And then when I went to the Bucks, Brady was low key. Asked me about Pat. I said, look at these niggas, yo. Okay. They lowkey, trying to figure out what. You know what I mean? But that's cold, though. That's like Kobe.
Shady McCoy
Name three greats that you bounce from. You know what I mean? So it's just like they want to get any edge up or any advice they could get.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Freaking Josh. They all got dog on them. Only thing about Josh's dog, though. Cause him and Pat Seller with the dog, he like a brother home. Josh, you can come at him a little bit. Cause we teammates, you know what I mean? But certain things, he ain't gonna let it fly. You know, Certain quarterbacks mentioned some white boys, you know, brothers can get away with doing a little extra. He ain't with it. Cause in the football game, he gonna run you over. We playing that game. The dude was talking shit to him and all that, you know what I mean? Bet he tried to run him over. He's a linebacker. That's how I play. So when anybody that play with him, they love him. Cause he just, you know. Cause most quarterbacks ain't gonna give you everything. Cause they ain't protecting theyself. You know what I mean? He ain't with all that shit. Oh, we practicing. I'm practicing. Oh, it's a fight in practice for. I'm in there fighting, too. You don't never see that.
Deshaun Jackson
I'm a quarterback for sure. Can Mahomes surpass Brady?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It's gonna be a lot, though. It ain't gonna be easy, but I think where they at today, I think he's way more advanced than Tom. You know, you look at just the MVPs, how fast the yards. Think about this for a second. The worst we've ever seen Patrick Mahomes is an AFC championship game. I mean, you know what I'm saying? Every year he going. And he's more of the main reason. I think some of Brady's joints, he was still just getting up in there, you know what I mean? Learning a little bit, you know, letting the defense kind of play it out. Now, the way Brady finished that shit was crazy. Like, I leave New England, I'm gonna get a championship every other year I'm in the Super Bowl. Like, Tom is definitely different. And he was 40 years old doing it, you know, I mean, that's gonna be hard to do.
Deshaun Jackson
When the Kaepernick situation was going on, what was the vibe and how were the players talking, you know, when Jerry Jones was not letting the players kneel and stuff like that?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we hated that though, you know. Cause it's like, you know, I don't know the reason why Katt was doing what he was doing, right? Cause everybody owned the pain of it. But definitely now that I'm older, I respect it. Cause he brought light to it, you know what I'm saying? And sometimes in football or in sports, it's like you matter. It matters to you who's saying something or what they saying is about and when you ain't really see that. And not with him. Cause he wasn't the player to be, you know, whatever it is. But the message was powerful. I'm like, damn. Cause like when you play ball, the team and everybody treat you a certain way and you black and all that, right? But then you got homeboys or you might see somebody on TV that might lose their life, right? And they black, but they don't have the star power you got. Shit's still wrong. You get what I'm saying?
Deshaun Jackson
Shit still hurt.
Bobby Bones
So you start looking at things different. Like, damn. Well, if that. Well, if I wasn't an all decade running back, yo, that could have been me on the. You know what I mean? So that was tough to deal with, man. Because then you see the ownership, like. And the Bills was really, really good at it. You know what I mean? Good ownership. So they was cool. But other teams, when I talked to my homeboys, they're like, yo, man, we can't kneel. They like, oh, this is America. What you mean you can't kneel? How can they tell you that? And they don't want to upset their seasoned ticket holders. And I'm like, so, okay, so you really don't really care for me for real? It's a business to you, though, you know what I mean? So when that whole thing was going on, you really was questioning a lot of different relationships with different people in higher positions. Cause like, do you really care for me for real, or is it just, you know what I mean?
Deshaun Jackson
His whole livelihood on the line. That's what people don't understand.
Bobby Bones
Yep. And then the thing for him is he probably never been like another, you know, starter and all that, right? But he still would have been on somebody's team. You get what I'm saying?
Shady McCoy
Yeah, there's no doubt.
Bobby Bones
You Know what I mean? But I'm saying, like, because he spoke out on something, now he can't play.
Shady McCoy
But they still have an issue about, right?
Bobby Bones
But back then, though, right? Gonna lie. When I was on the other side, when I first heard about the whole thing, I'm like, yo, this dude making a big deal, like, why he. And I was saying, like, if it was a bigger player, like a Brady and he knit and all that, they'd have found a way to make it okay and say Brady was black. You know what I mean? Because he matters. But that's how we always thinking at first. But for that ain't the main thing, though. That don't matter that it matters what's right and wrong. And when he was speaking on was right at the time, a lot of players, like even myself, we didn't really understand what he was really saying, you know?
Shady McCoy
Yeah, but to your defense, I mean, it.
Deshaun Jackson
It.
Shady McCoy
Like I said, you worked your way out of that and you're in your. Your own bubble.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Right.
Shady McCoy
You know what I mean? So I think he made everyone kind of look outside the bubble, like, what's really going on to our people. Penns upbringing, a lot of talent from out that way.
Bobby Bones
Yes, we do.
Shady McCoy
Yourself, Aaron Donald Saquon, Darrell Revis, Michael Parsons, to name a few.
Bobby Bones
We from the same town. He from, like, the outskirts.
Shady McCoy
What's it. It's the water out there.
Bobby Bones
The what?
Shady McCoy
Is it the air. What is it?
Bobby Bones
I mean, we just, you know. Ricky Waters.
Shady McCoy
Ricky Running Waters.
Deshaun Jackson
Come on, dog.
Bobby Bones
Like parson. You know what I mean? Come on. Oh, Marcus Coulson. Marcus Coulson.
Shady McCoy
Receiver. Yeah, from the Saints.
Bobby Bones
We got a couple cats.
Shady McCoy
Yeah, more than a couple. What was it like coming up out there?
Bobby Bones
I was cool. It was good. You know, sports was always a thing. It's like either you play sports or you was in the streets, right? You know, I had an older brother, he played in the pros, and, you know, then I had my pops. It's funny, like, I don't know how everybody's, like, raised in eight areas, but where I'm from, like, if you was really, really good at something sports wise, like, certain places you just couldn't go. And I don't know if it's like that now. You know what I'm saying? Now, nothing's 100%. Kids can get in trouble anything they do. But it's like certain times of the night, like, certain OGs wouldn't let me be around that long. Okay, Shady, you doing okay? Cool. All right, man. Get your ass home like, you know what I mean? So it was more of like a whole community that was looking out where now I be feeling like some of the OGs now be kind of okay with the young boys doing they'd be.
Deshaun Jackson
Sending them on the crash missions.
Bobby Bones
Right, Right. So back then we had that type of environment.

So one time I'm in Virginia with Mike Vick, my man, right? We in his. He had like a little Event, whatever. We in the club. And I think it might be my third year. I was young.
Deshaun Jackson
Him and Chuck from the same hood.
Bobby Bones
They from the same hood, right? We in Virginia. I'm like, oh, shit, dawg. I'm telling my man, yo, they go Iverson over there, right? I'm an Iverson fan, you know. Now, to him that I dapped me. What's up, homie? What's up, love, homie, get up. You know what I mean?
Shady McCoy
Get up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like, whole time, like, oh, shit. Hey, I just. So we seen. So Vic, like, yo, it's my man Shady. So I'm like, oh, man. You know. You know AI. Nice to meet you. So I like, now, if you know AI, he's always like, this is my first meeting. He's always like, happy, super and really. And love it. Yeah. Give me a hug. Okay. Oh, he said, oh, man. He say, oh, little nigga, man. Hey. He calls homeboy up. Hey, hey, hey, Come here. He said, what I tell you about this little nigga right here, man? So now I'm like, oh, he know me, though. So now I'm being like a. I know me. He says, yeah. You said he remind you of you when you used to play football. So I'm like, damn, you was nice like that. In my head, I'm thinking that. So hold up. Cause I ain't gonna say that.
Shady McCoy
You was nice like that.
Bobby Bones
Like that. So I go. I didn't say this because I was still. But when he walked off, I said, mike, that's crazy. He said that about me in high school. Cause I'm like, damn, dawg. He. I remind him, or he reminds me of me when I played high school basketball, I'd have been like that. So we basically said we got the same type, mutual respect.
Shady McCoy
Y'all got the same kind of bullshit. Come on.
Bobby Bones
Like, he think he was out there. He was him. Yeah, man.
Shady McCoy
So that's what Mike said.
Bobby Bones
Nah. So AI just seen him at this. We did a little organ signing in Philly, man, and I wanted to tell you this story and shit. So when you see the episode, the feeling's mutual, bro. You know what I mean? You understand? So when he say it like that, just know this. He thought of me like on the football field. I thought him on a court. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shady McCoy
So. But your last organized basketball is what, seventh grade?
Bobby Bones
Something like that. Oh, no, look, look, look. Shoot. No, no, hold up.
Deshaun Jackson
He say something like that.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. Y'all successful Hoopers. That makes me crazy. Did y'all play? Did y'all play freshman Summer grade is freshman or. No?
Shady McCoy
No, I didn't.
Deshaun Jackson
Ninth grade was my freshman.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but I.
Deshaun Jackson
But I never played for freshman basketball.
Bobby Bones
Well, what about in the seventh, eighth grade? I think I sat the bench in one of them years, but I was good enough to be on the bench as a seventh grade of ninth grade. Eighteen and the eighth grade, I was nice on a freshman, but then I went to this. I can't say I rapport. Hold on.
Deshaun Jackson
You said you the seventh grader on the ninth grade bench? Yeah, yeah, Y'all middle school and high school was one?
Bobby Bones
Nah, but it's the same like the public school.
Shady McCoy
So you're saying you were good enough to go sit on the fresher?
Bobby Bones
That's what I'm saying, bro. That's all I'm saying.
Shady McCoy
Were you good enough to play, though?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No. Well, no. I mean. I don't know. I mean, I played like. I played something. I played the average yard was nice, though. The apron was really. I was, bro. As a seventh grader, I was playing with the ninth graders. I didn't start, but I still was playing something.
Deshaun Jackson
No, I'm saying. Okay, so maybe I'm shipping, because in my high school, it's 9, 10, 11, 12.
Bobby Bones
It is. But basketball, I didn't go to school with the ninth graders.
Shady McCoy
They just let you go play with the high school team. They do it somewhere. They don't do it everywhere. In some cities you can go up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Deshaun Jackson
So what I'm playing. So what I'm saying is.
Bobby Bones
Type of layups.
Deshaun Jackson
So how can you be in the eighth class?
Shady McCoy
It's just probably like their filter high school, their feeder high school, that the middle school, they probably get to go to their feeder high school. Anyway.
Bobby Bones
Just know this dog just notice, you know, And I didn't play high school basketball, you know what I'm saying? But when I watch some of these players, they talk about comparisons, right? You compare everything. So when I watch guys like AI and I see the quickness, quick twitch, fast, explosive. Okay. Then I see, like, Kyrie Irving. I see his little mixture. All right, cool.
Deshaun Jackson
You had a lot of that.
Shady McCoy
You definitely had that. I'm saying on the field, you definitely.
Bobby Bones
That.
Shady McCoy
Yeah. You mastered stop and start, no question.
Bobby Bones
And I was workaholic when I was in high school, I kind of stopped working as hard. But in high school, I worked hard as shit. So I'd have been shooting 100, 500 jump shots in a game or a day. But we'll never know.
Shady McCoy
You said we'll never know.
Bobby Bones
We'll never know. That's a true story. AI is a real story. I'm like, damn, you was me. I wanna. Yo, I wanna say it so fast, like, damn, that's crazy, because I thought the same thing about you.
Shady McCoy
But now we're done talking about the back to the real.
Deshaun Jackson
What you really can do, right?
Shady McCoy
Amazing, you know, God willing. Hall of Fame football career.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Almost never happened.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Compound fracture you had suffered in high school.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
What happened?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, just. Man, like, I was. That was crazy. So, you know, at this time, right, I'm the number one running back in the country. Probably like eighth or something overall, you know what I'm saying? Like, 78 scholarships. I was doing my thing. Damn. My senior year, I had like a thousand yards in three games, dog. I was really balling. So I bring my ankle to arrival school.
Deshaun Jackson
Damn.
Bobby Bones
And then I go, ricky. Your name Ricky? I go for the. And I get hurt. So I'm probably getting calls a day from my head coaches. You know, you 17, you think you know everything, you know? And when I got hurt, man, like, that shit all stopped. Like, I went from seven, eight scholarships to like four. I remember I committed to Miami, you know. And then I had to go to prep school to rehab my ankle. And I stopped going to school. I was all messed up. And these dudes would be at my school recruiting dudes and wouldn't even come holler at me, you know what I'm saying?
Shady McCoy
But you was just a five star. You was just one player was just begging me, dog.
Bobby Bones
Pete Carroll. This is when Reggie Bush was. Reggie Bush running through la.
Shady McCoy
He hosted you on your visit, right?
Bobby Bones
Come on, bro. He had it laid out. I'm talking about. We went shopping and this before Nil. We went shopping. They closed the store down. They like, get what you want. Like, damn. You know what I'm saying? Kim was out, this one. I ain't know who Kim was, but she was around. She was all right. She was cool. They had all. They had all the girls. They had everything. But that was a nice little trip. But anyway, so I go from that to usc, not even answering my calls. That's dead. Yeah, that. Hollywood was over after that. And I ain't really had no more schools, so then I. Penn State was a school I wanted to play for. It's like a hometown, you know what I mean? School. But Paterno was different. I won't, you know, rest in peace. I won't get into that. But he had his own perception of me before he even knew me. You Know, but that didn't work out. Then Pitt. Dave Wanston was an NFL coach. It just worked out. Cause he's like me, NFL coach. He want ballers, you know what I mean? He don't care about all the little stuff. And I remember I was gonna commit to Penn State anyway just to prove Joe Paterno wrong, that I'm a good kid and all that. And my dad was like, nah, yo, you gave Pittsburgh your word that you at least take one visit before you make your decision. That's why I was saying, like, yo, real dads matter, though. Cause like, something small like that. Hold up, man. You gave him your word. You going back up there. I'm like, but, Dad, I don't want to. He said, I don't care if you gave me your word. So I go back up there. And I loved it. Now, the team wasn't as good, you know what I mean? But the players were like me. City kids, you know, it was cool. The coaches was NFL coaches. So they liked talent versus seniorities and all that.
Shady McCoy
Yeah, the politics.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it worked out, you know, he gave me a chance to get my name back. I remember telling me like, yo, ah, you know? So I go from up here to down here.
Shady McCoy
How long did it take you to rehab and get back to feeling like yourself?
Bobby Bones
So when I was in prep school, I didn't even start, dude. Some dude beat me out. Cause he was going to Miami. And imagine me, you know how I play. I'm like, quick and shifty. I was running dudes over. I was out of shape, you know what I mean? I was all messed up. Anyway, so they would come see him, the other kid going to Miami. And then it took me about a year and a half to really get myself together. So then I leave during the year and I go to Pitt. So now my mind's different. Okay, this is my second chance, you know? And all these people count me out. You know what I'm saying? And I went from people that was on my just doing everything I wanted to do with me, with my boys, this, that, and third. And now they kind of left me. Nobody texting me. So I said, okay, cool. So when I got the pit, I did my thing, you know, I only really did like a year and a half, and I went straight to the league. But that was a good point for me because when I got to the NFL, you know, I still had like the hang ons and my homeboys and stuff like that. But I slowly left him earlier in my career because I remember, like, how, like how people really treated me when you was hurt. Yeah, damn. You know what I'm saying? I'm 17. Like, I ain't. You know, sometimes people do it 8:30 and they play the league all these years and then they done. Maybe the money ain't the same.
Shady McCoy
They leave.
Bobby Bones
I'm 17. So that was. That was a good. That was a good one for me, though, to learn from, you know.
Shady McCoy
Where'd the name nickname Shady come from?
Bobby Bones
Oh, damn. Oh, my mom gave me that name. She said I was always shady as a kid. Like I'd be happy, sad, you know what I'm saying?
Shady McCoy
Just up and down.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Then the neighbors picked up on kids in school, so. But I ain't shady no more. That this is a name, you know, I with you one day, the next day. And I'm good on him. Like, not no more.
Deshaun Jackson
What are you saying? From Saquon. He broke the record. He doing his thing, ain't he?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So we. We are. So me and Saquon always been cool. We from Pennsylvania, whatever. And you know, we was talking about even coming to. To the Eagles. I'm like, yo, it's the right, you know, place this. And third, we do a golf. We did a golf island this year. About just a year I knew we have a big year. Not like this, but a big ass year. But now I'm happy for him, man. He a hell of a player. He's been nice since college. I think he got to New York and he had a chance to show it. Cause. Cause he was hurt, you know what I mean? Couple years and then the team wasn't as good. But like, I'm all for uplifting the next generation. It don't matter how good Saquon Barkley do, I'm already made.
Shady McCoy
You can't take that away from me, right?
Bobby Bones
So when people be like, yo, you ain't mad about him? Like, nah. Like, bro, I got some good numbers.
Shady McCoy
About to be in the hall of Fame next year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I wanted to do good because it's funny, you know, everything's in competition, right? But as players, you always that love the people that love the game. You always a fan of the game. So before I even knew him, he was a fan of me. He would tell me these things. He broke the record. He said, yo, it's crazy to be. When he first broke the record in the game. Cause I went to the game and out here was the Rams game. I was with the owner, we was watching the game, whatever. And on the mic he said, yo, yo, that's. Yo, we broke. Yo, we broke Shady's record, right? And I took that as like, that's a retardant respect, because I actually know him. So I know he got respect for me. But if I didn't know him and I heard that you get what I'm saying, it mattered to him. Then when we talk means like, yo, bro, the breaking record is big. That's why like the shit going on with Eric Dickerson and all that, like, yo, dawg, you a og, You a legend, homie. You had Jerry Carroll, you were scoring touchdowns for the Rams, like, that was big. Now you got a chance to pass your record down to Saquon, just the same way O.J. passes to you. Because in my like right now, if you look, I'm probably what, like sixth highest paid running back of all time? Football's been around for years, right? I never had a problem getting a contract. I do my thing, I get busy. Pay me top of the market. Some of these other dudes that did the same, not maybe as much as I did, but are doing really well, they not having a chance to get them contracts. So when we have a situation where a 40 year old record can be broken for the next generation, why won't you let this dude do it and why you mad about it? Because Josh Jacobs, running back for the packers was nice. He played for the Raiders. They weren't that good, but he still was busy. He led the league in rushing. I remember talking to him. He's saying that the Raiders didn't even offer him a contract. I'm like, how not? It's like being a scoring champion. Don't even. What we talking about. Saquon balls out. He is the New York Giants. And you rather pay Daniel Jones?
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Ain't even on the team.
Bobby Bones
The market's messed up. But you can go. You can be Baker Mayfield, get a second chance. Now they talk about Sam Darling, get a second chance. Trevor Lawrence is God awful, awful. He's the second highest or third highest paid quarterback in football. Jordan Love is good though, right? But you gonna make him the highest paid quarterback after one year? Cause if that's the running back or wide receiver, you're not doing that. Ceedee Lamb's. You a Cowboys, right?
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Same as you want. CD Lamb, he balls though.
Deshaun Jackson
He cold.
Bobby Bones
He cold. If he's not better than Justin Jefferson. Okay, whatever. But they close though. So you telling me in the open market, bro, and it's my time to get a deal, I can't jump over him. Contract wise, right? But you gonna tell me that Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes can get jumped over by Trevor Lawrence. You get what I'm saying?
Deshaun Jackson
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
They got the game so messing with the quarterbacks. So that's why I was mad with Eric Dickerson. Cause I'm like, yo, if he breaks his record now, dudes like Derrick Henry that has 1900 yards and still balling won't take a $7 million contract or something like he making $8 million. How? Because they not respecting the running back position. This is a stepping stone to do that. So now the next generation, 10, 20 years from now, they gotta respect it. So it's bigger than Saquon and Eric Dickerson. You get what I'm saying?
Deshaun Jackson
You not sitting out the last game. You gonna get that 104 yards.
Bobby Bones
You know, it's funny. All our homeboys on the chat, you know, that played with the Eagles and all that, that's playing there now. I won't say their names, but they play with me and they playing there now. So you can imagine who that is. They like, if this was shady was here. This shit will not go down like this. It'll be a whole conversation all week while we not playing. Cause I'm gonna get my record.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because when I'm 50 years old, I'm 60 years old, and I'm with my kids and all that.
Deshaun Jackson
When you just 100 yards away, bro.
Bobby Bones
And you average 160.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you playing the Giants, the dudes that got rid of me.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
In a week.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah. You gotta get that record on them. It was set up for him to do it.
Bobby Bones
God don't make no mistakes. You don't think playing like that. Oh, so we gonna get rid of you. Okay. We gonna set the rushing record and we gonna play him again. God set that up. Yeah, but I mean, I get it now. He is now. I will say one thing about Saquon that I am not. Like, he is a great teammate and he puts his teammates first. I did that. But they gotta be with contents. Everything deserves the nuance, right? I'm for the team. But hold up, man. Bro, this record been here for 50 years. Hom when your ass is going, you going, I'm going. It's still gonna be here. I can't go get 100 yards. Cause I gave you 2,000 yards though, for us to be winning and all that. So, you know. But I get the message, though. Like, they had their bye week, like week three, so they had a full season. So I Understand? But it'll be tough.
Shady McCoy
Let him go get that guy.
Bobby Bones
Because this dude.
Deshaun Jackson
You know what?
Bobby Bones
Now I think real quick. I watched his whole week or last week, how dudes had incentives. They got him, all of them. I played with Mike Evans.
Deshaun Jackson
He got his. He deserved it, though.
Bobby Bones
No, Mike. He a dog. But I'm saying, when I was there with him, it'd be times he had 900 yards. I don't give a. What we doing. We gonna get him his thousand.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's a sign of respect, right?
Shady McCoy
Come on, man.
Bobby Bones
And Brady. I think Brady played for him to get that.
Deshaun Jackson
He's supposed to go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So.
Deshaun Jackson
Yep.
Shady McCoy
Absolutely. And then how Dallas didn't let old boy play the last game to get.
Deshaun Jackson
A certain Cooper Rush 500K.
Bobby Bones
For real.
Deshaun Jackson
It was three.
Shady McCoy
Was it 325, I think.
Deshaun Jackson
Oh, it was.
Bobby Bones
It was. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's crazy.
Deshaun Jackson
Trevor.
Shady McCoy
Trey. Lance.
Bobby Bones
Trey.
Shady McCoy
Lance. Someone. They ain't played the whole season.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
He did these. But they try to use that, like, got drove.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Shady McCoy
Instead of letting that boy get that extra 325.
Bobby Bones
But. Yeah, that's.
Shady McCoy
Won't win, though. You can't.
Deshaun Jackson
You don't do shit.
Bobby Bones
Like, do y'all. Do y'all do basketball?
Deshaun Jackson
You can't do incentives Championship.
Bobby Bones
No incentives like some guys do.
Deshaun Jackson
Yep.
Shady McCoy
Some guys do.
Deshaun Jackson
Yep. All Star game, championship. You want to. You run a ring, like.
Bobby Bones
But is there anything where, like, you gotta average so many points or score or. You know what I mean?
Deshaun Jackson
That's for some big players. Like, you win the championship, like, you got your contract. We win a championship, you get money.
Bobby Bones
So y'all never had nothing like work?
Shady McCoy
I need a certain amount of points this game.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Cause I'll be okay. I'm gonna go out there and play with you so my boy can get his shit off.
Shady McCoy
Yeah. No, I mean, bonuses happen, but, like, the thing. Our money's guaranteed, so no matter how good or bad we play, we get it. The whole thing.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah. Soon as you sign your name, baby.
Shady McCoy
Yeah. Damn.
Bobby Bones
So 5 foot, 200, you're getting the whole.
Shady McCoy
Yeah, getting all of them.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow. That's a blessing.
Shady McCoy
And I can opt out the last year and get a bigger deal.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man. Y'all blessing.
Shady McCoy
I'm talking like, other players. That's what they did. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No, no, that's. That's.
Shady McCoy
Go ahead.
Deshaun Jackson
Can Jalen Hurts win the Super Bowl?
Bobby Bones
I think so. I think so. I mean, like, it's all what you want in a quarterback, because obviously you'll take the Josh Allens first or you'll take the Lamar the way he plays, or pack, even the Burrows. But one thing I give Jalen hurts, bro. He find a way to win. Yeah, and this thing is like, when you talk about other players, the first thing you gonna talk about is what their attributes are. Yo, his arm is crazy. Yo, he's accurate. You can't even tackle Lamar Jalen. You gonna say, yo, he a winner.
Deshaun Jackson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
There's games I see where he might play awful dog. But we need that last drive, bro. He finds a way. And I respect him. He's been like that his whole life. Underdog, gotta win. He been in super bowl, you know, and lost, you know, top three quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid. But I think he can win it all. Our team, I mean, it's bigger than jalen. Hurts like A.J. brown, Devontae Smith. Wide receivers, you got Saquon Barkley, your running back, and you got the best offensive line of football. And your tight end is decent. And you got the number one defensive football.
Shady McCoy
It's set up.
Bobby Bones
If we don't want it this year, maybe next year because we are a little young, it might be because every team has that window.
Shady McCoy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like I look at the Steelers, they had Le'Veon. AB is what he is. But AB was killers. Look at the Niners.
Deshaun Jackson
What's number seven name on defense for y'all? Defensive end.
Bobby Bones
He not there no more.
Deshaun Jackson
He not there no more.
Bobby Bones
Nah. Wherever he from. Jersey. Huh? He's from Jersey. From Philly and all that.
Deshaun Jackson
Where he at now?
Bobby Bones
Jets.
Deshaun Jackson
Jets.
Bobby Bones
Okay. We need him, right?
Deshaun Jackson
Nah, he didn't have a sack this year.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he didn't?
Shady McCoy
Said Antonio Pierce just got fired from the Raiders.
Bobby Bones
He did?
Deshaun Jackson
Wow.
Bobby Bones
We was waiting to see how it was gonna work out. I mean, they just doing shit, man. Like you gave him one year for real. You fired other coach in New England one year. Like, who gonna win? Who gonna win like that?

Let's go to work. See, it's funny because like I feel like player coaches now. They hire them because they gotta hire me because it's a lot of noise. And then dudes are doing well too and there's a lot of younger guys getting the jobs and they hiring players. Back in the old days, we gonna hire they people, right? But my thing is, how good can a player do, yo, with one year, right?
Deshaun Jackson

Aaron don't get enough credit though. Cause that defense is all hurt. Banged up and he's still balling. Yeah, but Glenn crazy Glenn. Glenn is nice. They got a nice team. They gonna be probably our biggest matchup.
Deshaun Jackson

It's over. Yeah, we gonna beat on them. I think it's gonna be the Eagles and the Detroit and it's a championship game. Yeah, you can say that. You can say that. You say that.
Shady McCoy
Sam Darnold gotta show me still. Who? Sam Darnold gotta show me.
Bobby Bones
I just gave this whole analogy the other day, man. I said, yo, tell me how this shit would go in y'all sport a really, really good player that's been balling for some years, right? But this year he's in a slump and he's going on like a 8, 6, 7, 8 game slump. Ain't playing well. Eventually though, this real good player that's confident, there's no wizard, he gonna bounce back. If you're a sorry player for like 6 some years, go to a new team though, right? New Beginning in your seventh year with a really good coach and within like, I don't know, 11 to 12 games, you ballin'but. When that bad moment comes, eventually though, that bad player gonna be the player he is. So I'm thinking like, yo, how y'all just forget not bad. If somebody is having a good moment, but then somebody that's nice. You don't forget his weaknesses or you don't forget when he did bad. Cause I would think like when Lamar Jackson, they love to bring up, oh, his playoffs and all this shit. Oh, he don't win in the playoffs right now. That's true to that. I think he got like two playoff wins. But dude like Sam Darnold, it's like y'all all believe in this dude. He had 12 good, 13 good games. Then you talking about paying him. You see what I'm saying? You gonna pay this dude, he been trash for years, but then a good ass running back or a good ass wide receiver, you don't even pay him. That's why I hate with all like they play these games, the politics, more players in there, it won't be going like that.
Shady McCoy
Yeah, Sam Donner gotta show me.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so wait, you from, you from Texas? Texas. So you from Texas? I don't know why I thought you was from Atlanta at first.
Deshaun Jackson
I just been living there since 2003.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, man. And you from, you from out here this way?
Shady McCoy
Up north?
Bobby Bones
Up north, yeah. Was that Base Bay?
Shady McCoy
Sacramento?
Bobby Bones
I be doing real estate, man. I be. So I got some big shit coming up. And so right now I'm helping players like to go back home and develop in their hometown. That's what I'm doing. Because I don't care who the person is, nobody's gonna be a bigger star than their hometown. That's how I'm supposed to be, right? So I'm teaming up with nflpa, you know, meeting with them and different investors. One of my best friends, Aaron Donald, he got, you know, two affordable projects, right? So a lot of things are affordable housing. I got like two or three right now going and I go to these dudes neighborhoods, right? I won't even say the names yet, but a couple players, that's really, really good. Go to the city, I meet with them, meet with the mayors and all that. And we get, you know, respectfully, we'll get a, a discounted price on lots because we're trying to develop them. You know, we got money, you know, we have resources. We trying to develop these lots. So the next, you know, Matt Barnes and up up north that might not have a shot because his living situation is not the best. Now he comes to the projects where it's supposed to be like, oh, you live in the projects to now. Oh, damn, dog, you living in the projects too? Oh, yeah. Cause it's all new marble floors is all that, right?
Shady McCoy
That's dope.
Bobby Bones
And some good money in it. So now you going back home, you helping your community out, and you making money. You get what I'm saying? So now we slow this narrative of when ex players. I don't know how basketball is, but a lot of dudes, they go, they got no more money when they done. So now, bro, you making money and you giving back to your community. And the NFL could be a part of that.
Shady McCoy
That's dope that you brought the NFL in and investors because that's the hardest to find capital when you look like us and you always don't want to have to put your own money in.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I'll do that too, though. Like, right now, before I got, like, the real funding, I was doing a lot on my own. I got a lot of good team behind me and all that, but I seen them out of work, you know what I mean?
Deshaun Jackson

Bobby Bones opens the conversation by expressing his aspirations for the year ahead. At [03:02], he states, "2025 is my year.", emphasizing his focus on becoming a better person, strengthening family bonds, and achieving personal milestones such as marriage. This introspection sets a reflective tone for the episode, highlighting the importance of personal development alongside professional endeavors.
Transitioning from his athletic career, Bobby discusses his foray into media. At [10:05], he shares, "It's a little different for me. I think my transition was harder for most because I'm always the same way." He elaborates on balancing traditional media roles, like calling games and working with the NFL, with more personal, authentic platforms. This dual approach allows Bobby to maintain mainstream relevance while staying true to his roots and personal brand.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to breaking down the 2025 NFL MVP contenders. Bobby provides a comprehensive analysis of top players:
Josh Allen: Praised for his consistent performance and team support, Bobby asserts at [16:20], "I would give it to Josh. I think they're A plus to an A." He highlights Allen's teamwork and the strength of his Buffalo Bills team as key factors in his MVP candidacy.

Patrick Mahomes: Recognized for his advanced gameplay, Bobby comments at [40:44], "It's gonna be a lot, though. It ain't gonna be easy, but I think where they at today, I think he's way more advanced than Tom."
The discussion includes comparisons to past legends and current dynamics within teams, providing listeners with deep insights into the MVP landscape.
At [12:51], Bobby shares his recent induction into the Eagles Hall of Fame: "That was cool. That was good." He reflects on his legacy, the respect he garners from peers, and the impact of his career achievements. This segment underscores the honor of such recognition and the lingering questions athletes face about their lasting legacy beyond active play.
A pivotal part of the conversation revolves around experiences with coaches, particularly focusing on Coach Chip Back. Bobby recounts at [30:14]:
"He said, yo, get somebody that got something to lose. Like you got something to lose."
He delves into the challenges faced under strict coaching regimes, issues of racial insensitivity, and the impact of drug testing protocols on team morale and trust. These candid stories shed light on the often unspoken pressures within professional sports environments.
At [05:44], Bobby offers valuable advice to emerging athletes:
"Have some patience. Take your time... if she really likes me, she going to wait."
He emphasizes the importance of building meaningful relationships, both personally and professionally, and encourages young players to prioritize personal growth and integrity over immediate gains or superficial successes.
Bobby shares his personal journey through injury and recovery, highlighting the resilience required to overcome setbacks. At [55:30], he narrates:
"I go from seven, eight scholarships to like four. I remember I committed to Miami... then I had to go to prep school to rehab my ankle."
