Summary

The Nightcap hosts discuss NFL free agency dynamics including Travis Kelce's potential market testing and Trent McDuffie's record-breaking cornerback contract ($124M/4yr with $100M guaranteed). They also debate Claressa Shields' claim she could beat Rolly Ramirez in boxing and address Logan Paul's WWE-related fight cancellation.

Insights
  • Elite athletes in final career stages prioritize winning and legacy over marginal salary increases, but will test market value to ensure fair compensation
  • Guaranteed money structure matters more than total contract value in NFL negotiations; 3-year fully guaranteed deals are functionally equivalent to longer deals with unguaranteed years
  • Biological differences in male-female combat sports (muscle density, power generation, skeletal structure) create insurmountable performance gaps even between elite athletes
  • Professional athletes use strategic PR moves (like Logan Paul's WWE call) to create plausible deniability for avoiding high-risk matchups
  • Franchise loyalty is driven by non-monetary factors: winning culture, personal relationships with teammates, and business opportunities in specific markets
Trends
NFL cornerback market inflation: top-tier corners now commanding $30M+ annually, setting precedent for secondary position valuationsFree agency leverage shifting toward players who can credibly threaten to test market, forcing franchises to match competitive offersCelebrity athlete crossover fights (boxing, WWE, MMA) becoming marketing strategy rather than genuine athletic competitionGuaranteed money becoming primary negotiation focus over total contract value in NFL dealsStar players using business ventures (restaurants, endorsements) as tie-breakers in free agency decisions between comparable offersMedia narrative management by high-profile athletes to control public perception of contract decisions and fight cancellations

My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-platinum artist. You desire in family, like, this picture, and that's not reality. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. On the Sino Show podcast, each episode invites you into a raw, unfiltered conversations about recovery, resilience, and redemption. On a recent episode, I sit down with actor, cultural icon Danny Trejo to talk about addiction, transformation, and the power of second chances. The entire season two is now available to bench, featuring powerful conversations with guests like Tiffany Adish, Johnny Knoxville, and more. I'm an alcoholic. Without this group, I'm going to die. Listen to Sino's show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Speaking of the team that you've all for taking care of you, they say some conflicting reports emerging about Travis Kelsey and he's possibly going to test the market. I guess originally it was said that, you know, he was going to be back. And that was just basically a given that, you know, he would be there. I think the athletic reported they expected him to return to Kansas City. And then the AP had said if he plays, the only place he's playing is Kansas City and that he won't test the market. Bull spit. Bull spit. He is going to test the market and he should test the market. hell yeah test the market you know why because they thinking they're about to get this player friendly deal and that is not about to happen okay he's gonna make sure kansas city gives him his worth it's a business and he ain't doing no player deal on top of that you ain't gonna have patching homes for most of the years not all of the year damn right he gonna test the market and along with them testing the market, you know who come with me when I go? Taylor Swift. The Swifties. Taylor Swift go with me and the Swifties go with me. Hey, boom, here they go. Tickets prices just went higher than giraffe. You know what I mean? I know what you're saying. They done went higher than giraffe pussy. You know what I'm saying, boy? It's out of there. It's out of there. It's out of there. Look, what you think, baby? I don't. I don't know though about this one I don't know I think he might chill I think he might chill I think he's going to stay in Kansas City and the reason why is for two reasons he may test the market just to see what the value is and I think Kansas City may match it if he does that and or Travis he got Patrick Mahomes there that's his man bro that's his good man brother he's not going to be back until late in the season late in the season if they don't get close to matching that, do you think that he could possibly go somewhere else? Say they talking 10, somebody else talking 15, 16. I mean, I don't, I could see Trav chilling. I could see Trav being in a comfortable position where I don't know, depending on who's giving him the 15 or 16, I'm not seeing him go to a bad team for more money right now at the end of his career. The money with Traff, he's got a lot of stuff going on, and the dude is up, for sure. So with me now, I'm thinking, does he want to, he wants to, I feel like he wants to win. He's not going to want to go out as a loser. He doesn't feel like, I don't think that four million is going to move the needle for him in too many ways. So I'm thinking he's going to try to be, for sure, on a contender. You know what I forgot? You're right. He got the whole, he got steakhouses in Kansas City. My man got, real live things going on. Money's cool. So if Seattle say we want you at 15 and Kansas City say 10. See, that's what I'm saying. Right there. I love when you study, Joe, because it's something you don't want to say. It's something that's different where am I talking about me or am I talking about Trav? Am I talking about, you know what I'm saying? What I think maybe he would do is probably still, I don't know, he'd probably still stay. I don't know that's what I would say I would think so I would think so I don't I think with the situation now how many more years I don't know how many more years Travis is thinking about playing what if it's LA what if it's LA Rams what if it's the Rams ooh that's that's that's interesting because he likes the goal they family they got cribs out there in LA so if you say something like that that makes sense then you know that's not that's not a bad move and Lala I ain't never mad at LA. Trav, they've been in LA. That goes. That goes together. So, we will see. It's choked their death here. I don't, if you would ask me right now, I think he's going to play with Kansas City for sure. I don't think he's going nowhere. Yeah, I don't think he leaves KC no matter, I mean, I really don't, I ain't going to lie to you. I just don't see it happening no matter what the number is, to be honest with you. I think you just got too much there. Unless, like you said, you go that L.A. route, that's a lot more, you know. A lot more endorsement opportunities over there. Oh, for sure. You know what I'm saying? He got, the man, he got options. I wouldn't mind. The thing you said, too, the friendly deals, if the bag is bigger somewhere else, for sure, but it is a contender, definitely. But you wouldn't, I'm just not seeing a trap going somewhere, winning two games because he can make a couple more dollars. and not, you know what I'm saying, be in a jacked up situation. Yeah. Speaking of LA, man, we stay out there with the Rams. The Rams don't get that man, Trent Duffy, four years, $124 million, including $100 million guaranteed made in the highest paid corner in NFL history. Yes, sir. Bye. Point. Nine. $900,000. He makes 31. Sauce Gardner at 30.1. You got Derrick Stingley. He's at 30. Then you got Horn, 25. And he goes down from there. Ramsey, 24. Patrick Sertan, 24. Joe. Yes, sir. Where this put nephew? Nephew. Little peasy. Joy Porter. Joy Porter. Joey, where this put nephew? Where this put nephew at? Ed, Joe? Yes, sir. The thing is, he's going between the minimum. It's going to be between 24 at the minimum. And then... No, no. 27 is going to be minimum. 27 is going to be minimum. 27 is going to be minimum. And we're only taking 27 if it's fully guaranteed. This is the only reason I'm trying to tell you this. This is a free agent. an unrestricted free agent. So he's going to go and get the highest, highest, highest bag possible. So that's why when I was going through the same thing, Revis was getting 16 a year as a free agent. And that's when me, Richard Sherman, and Patrick Peterson were going through our negotiations. Pat P, I mean, Richard Sherman got 14. Me and Pat B got 13.5. And the highest was 16 at Darrell Revis because he was just floating around free agent. Long-term deals were just a little bit less than that free agent going to go break the market. So when we say that, like, and nephew, thousand percent. It's going to be between, like you said, over, Patrick Sattan got 24 a year. You know what I'm saying? JC Horn, 25. Stingley at 30 in his new joint. Okay, okay. You're making sense. I'm looking at it like you say. 27, 27 to 30. 27 to 30. That was a good mark. 27 to 30. 27, 27. and we're going, we're looking for a four-year deal? We're looking for a four-year. Okay. We might even make it for a friend at 26, but it's fully guaranteed. Fully guaranteed at 26. Every penny. Every penny. They're only going four for 108. Listen, he got you. Mark Chase, twice a year, man. What y'all talking about? No, trust me. I'm with him getting the bag. I'm with PZ because he's done what he had to do. He went out that joint, balled out, was getting better every year, and he deserves it for sure. So we're just talking about now in guarantees, what are they looking like? What are guaranteed numbers? I'm rocking. You're trying to go. You're trying to get how much of the contract guaranteed? You're trying to get the full thing. If you're talking anything around 26 to 27, I need full. I need the full bag. So if you're talking about all four. Okay. I hear you. I need all four guaranteed, man. What are you talking about? So if you did, so that 25, that'd be four years, 100 million fully guaranteed. If it was 26, it'd be four years, 104 fully guaranteed. What's wrong with that? I'm just, I'm just, I'm just trying to, that's just a lot of guaranteed. And I haven't seen. He just got 100 million guaranteed out of 124. 108 out of 124? He got 100 million guaranteed out of 124, a four-year 124. So a week ago, so you're saying four years. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I'm just four. So the thing is with the guaranteed money, it's going to be, it's going to cut it off because it's going to be a three-year deal with the guarantees. So if Lil Peasy signed a three-year 78 fully guaranteed, do you know what I'm saying? Like that would be $26 million a year, three years fully guaranteed, the whole deal. Do you know what I'm saying? That fourth year. We need four years. Basically, the fourth year is just that extra. That's just the year that you put on there that is good for them. Well, if that's the case, the number, it ain't fully guaranteed no more. I know. We're talking three years, $100 million. But that's basically what TJ basically signed. TJ basically signed a three for 108, fully guaranteed. Do you know what I'm saying? That last four for 124, that extra at the end, that doesn't really matter. You're going to renegotiate or something's going to happen at that last year. If TJ would have just signed a three-year 108 fully guaranteed, then that's where I'm looking at Leom Peasy doing the same thing as a three-year, you know what I'm saying, $78, $80 million fully guaranteed instead of putting it four for adding that extra year and make it 106, and then they can do whatever they want at that last year. That's why I'm saying fully. Fully. That's what I'm saying. You might as well just do it. The shorter deal is what it's going to be then. If they're going to go fully, it's going to be a three-year for 70-something. We ain't doing no less than four. Y'all already had my guy drop down to the second round. Nah, uh-uh. I feel you. 30. It's because he's trying to get 30, 60, 90, 120. He wants to fall for 120. No question. For sure. no question this man at 31 you got two more right there sitting at 30 I mean I'm not mad at it the 30 the 30 that's not that's that's just that's that's simple math that's simple math but one twanky the twanky like pay nephew man get nephew his money man give him his money man what y don want to do I trying to tell y what y don want to do is let this man get into this season and then play this season out And I telling you right now you ain going to be able to keep him It's going to be about 33. 34. You're right, because he ain't doing nothing but going up. Ain't doing nothing but going up. So I would say for sure, if BZ, my man get that little 4-120, 4 years, 120, he can do the same deal. Thank you. Thank you, brother. No, that's what we're saying. Okay, no, for sure. Let's get it. Look here, man. I don't know how this works, but it'll never happen. But Clarissa Shields believes she can beat Roley in a fight. She was on Justin LaBoy, and she said this, man. Is there a male champion Regardless of weight That you believe you can be I'd be Roley He's a world champion Roley Ramirez Listen It's not about I think Roley is Very unorthodox He's very strong Right But Next Monday Our 2026 iHeart Podcast Awards Are happening live At South by Southwest This is the biggest night In podcasting We'll honor The very best in podcasting From the past year and celebrate the most innovative, talented creators in the industry.

My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-platinum artist. Hilary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood, and releasing her first record in over 10 years. We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family, like, this picture. And that's not reality a lot of the time. It's for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level if the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, The Case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen. before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I have done nothing except get pregnant by the bachelor. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Way taller than him, way longer than him, and got better boxing skills. So how about one of his punches, though? Did you not hear what I said? It's hard for somebody smaller to hurt somebody that's bigger. I walk around at 185. He fights at 140. Or is it 47? He said 140, 147. But I'm just saying, though, and then with his skill set, yo yo what do you think oh first first i want to hear from you first i want to hear from you okay i understand she's walking around at 185 i understand that she is he fights at 147 who says he's not walking around 20 pounds heavier that's what i'm saying um and like just right that's what i'm saying like just i just i just don't see it happening even with the the weight difference you know she says she's taller but i believe the reach is almost the same though like they got the same reach i think i want to say it's 68 68 is is the reach and just men in general like you generate more power they're saying it's anywhere from like 30 to 40 percent more power based on a pound per pound being the same as far as a man of this weight and a woman of this weight. It's a higher muscle mass, like density. It's different, dude. It's just evolutionary, genetic, biological stuff that is there that you just can't get away from as a male and a female, dude. Thicker skulls, thicker jaw structure. like it's it's like it's totally different i don't think i don't think she's taking into account all that she's just looking at her skill and and i understand you believe in your skill and all that but like dude a dude hitting you that's i don't know i i i definitely don't give her a chance of of winning and if it is, it is very minute. I would say I do not want to see this fight at all. I think the one thing is Clarissa Shields is one of the baddest women I've ever seen in my life. When I see her fights, she has hands. She's fighting big women. She's really throwing them. When I first looked, I thought she was like 200. You know what I'm saying? So I didn't know. She's like, I walk around 185, her fighting 160 something, 170. but like end of the day I just like men's strength of it's just different and her being a professional boxer that's sweet but I'm just looking at like Roley end of the day he's still walking around at 185 you want 170 you know I'm saying that's just I don't like to see that competition when we're talking about physical men versus women was always taught you don't touch a girl you don't do that just because I was always like raised you're gonna you're bigger and stronger you know I'm saying so like you always are treat women with respect, all of that. So I'm just really, I just think he's men and women in physical combat is something that I'm like, I just don't think that it's a good way to go. She's the only person too. She's a woman. She's a professional. She's heavyweight boxer, but it's still like, it's just still for me, I just don't see women and men doing those hand-to-hand combat joints like that. And he's a professional boxer also. She's not like, it's just a dude walking off the street that, you know what I'm saying, is 170 pounds, she's going to probably put him to sleep for sure. Roley is a professional boxer that's taken beatings, taken pounding from other professional boxers too, so I just don't, I don't know. If anybody could do it, it would be her. I just do one. I don't know if I want to see it. So you think she could do it? No, I don't think she could do it. I don't think she could. And yeah, I think if anybody in the world could, she could, but I don't think that she could because he's another, he's a professional. I think he's just a male professional too so i don't know he done put he done put what 13 14 people to sleep in brother yes he's not no amateur he's not doing this for fun either both of y'all both of y'all's hands are registered both of y'all not playing i just yeah just it's just too much yeah i would yeah i'm not saying i'm not biologically like this is too different that i that i think she could against him. Now, yeah, like you said, a cat off the street, beat the brakes off his ass. You know what I'm saying? Easy. Gracefully. Easy work. But you're talking about a skilled fighter. I understand her skills may be better. They actually may be better, but it ain't like he's not going to hit you. You got hit a lot in that fight that you just fought. She want smoke, though. That fight that she just fought with, they were throwing hair. Yeah. Now think about standing there throwing hands like that with him. Catching him with him. All those... Because she was taking him. She was taking him from old girl, too. Like, that's why I'm like, oh my god, this y'all looks crazy. I don't know. Nah, I can't. Oof. Nah, man. It's this, this. And you know how that is. Next thing you know, she started the bleeding in there and the leaking. It's going to be looking crazy. He's boxing her up. hitting them like this. It's just optics for me too. Stop hitting her. You know what I'm saying? Wow, she's taking them. She's eating them jumps. I don't think she's going to eat too many of those. Have you ever seen this dude hit these people, man? He ain't taking too many of those, man. There we go. And your boy over there Logan Paul he said he can't fight he said he can't fight after WWE allegedly prevented him from doing it. What do you think y'all? You think they actually prevented him from doing it? I don't know I don't know I don't think he wanted to fight Le'Veon because he said it in his first post when somebody said something you take him what he said he said and you can fight and you're not playing the league and I don't want to fight with you so I think Thank you. Joe, you got that whack-based internet. It's freezing up out on you again. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you got this big house. You got stuff everywhere. The internet trash. See? Trash, Joe. Trash. Look here, man. This is what I think happened. I know, like you said, he ain't want that. He ain't want that with El Bell, man. He seen them hands. He seen my dude's hands, man. He was like, I want something untrained. I ain't never did this before. He a fighter. He can fight. I can't have that. I can't do that. And then you know what he did? He went on ahead and he said, let me call WWE so they can get me out of this. because I'm scared that this man go put them dick beaters on me. You know what I'm saying? He said, I can't have that. He said, so boss, I'm going to call you. Y'all video it so it's on record that I could put it out there that I can't fight because I'm too valuable to the WWE. Yes, because they know he go beat the brakes off of your ass. And that is why I believe he went and did that. Like how many people actually have a car ready and set up, ready to go, just film you so you can get this reason, excuse out in the air? He probably just made look I'm gonna go devil's advocate because I don't think he I don't know if he was scared but to prove why he couldn't be on it is maybe why he did the call. I like Le I like Le but I just gonna say it could be it could be legit because he is WWE he does have a contract it could be like look they looked and probably said oh no I don't want you because they were scared they said I don't want you fighting him WWE that's a man WWE could be scared they were like that's a man uh uh no he he go whoop on you he go whoop on you we can't have you over there now you can't wrestle.

Those two, cooking, cooking, cooking. Oubre, I'm a fan of Oubre, but I'm liking my people. We're going to strap him up a little bit. He's going to be under 17 and a half. 16, he might get 15 points.

My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-platinum artist. Hilary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood, and releasing her first record in over 10 years. We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family, like, this picture. And that's not reality a lot of the time. It's for people. My sister and I don't speak. it's definitely a very painful part of my life. And I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast, Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level if the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, The Case of Lucy Letby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Clayton Eckerd, and in 2022, I was the lead of ABC's The Bachelor. Unfortunately, it didn't go according to plan. He became the first Bachelor to ever have his final rose rejected. The internet turned on him. If I could press a button and rewind it all, I would. But what happened to Clayton after the show made even bigger headlines. It began as a one-night stand and ended in a courtroom with Clayton at the center of a very strange paternity scandal. The media is here. This case has gone viral. The dating contract. Agree to date me, but I'm also suing you. Please search for it. This is unlike anything I've ever seen. before. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trapped. This season, an epic battle of he said, she said, and the search for accountability in a sea of lies. I have done nothing except get pregnant by the bachelor. Listen to Love Trapped on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth. Until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Love it. Let's go. We're going to get to the Super Chats that we missed. Yes, the Covenant Life is right here. Fight us. She says, I hate to say this. I believe the Browns will get the weapons needed and be contenders for 2026. Now, let me go throw up. Why would they go get nothing that they need? They ain't even got an offensive line. we already started signing off as a lineman don't even trip Covenant Life is hip she's smart she know great call Covenant just chill it's gonna start happening you gonna see you got Covenant Life again $20 she said Debo and Joe if there were a reunion game to play not flat would you suit up and what team would you like to go up against I would love to see Troy and you on the same field against the Ratbirds. The Ravens. She called it the Rattings. It's the Ratbirds. What a game. Joe, I'm going to tell her the truth. Because I am not putting on a uniform or a suit unless I got a good 12 to 15 months of training head start. I need all my people. Not flag. She said a real game, not flag. Oh, hell no. Coveted? You're trying to get people hurt out there. Listen, man, I'm going to tear something up off the ball. You know how many hamstrings and everything will be blown out there? Dudes just can't just come off the couch thinking it's sweet, get up to full speed. When is the last time a regular person just get up to full speed? You know what I'm saying? You don't do that, you'll pull something. So I ain't going to lie to you, brother. I can't even remember the last time I competitively full out had to try and sprint to beat somebody. I do the 75, the stride. Nah, I ain't doing that digging. I just raised my kids and they still not old enough yet. They still 7 and 9. I don't even ain't got to really get up to the speed yet. Right. So I'm racing them from the bus, and then I don't know. Probably when my boy, he's nine, I say when he get about 15, 16, then I get about 40, then that might be when we start getting a little closer. I'm going to tell you right now, I ain't racing my kids no more. Even though. Yeah, they get you out the way right now. I don't know. I ain't going to lie. You'll blow a hamstring. I'm going to blow a hamstring. You would. a tire is going to fall off a tire is going to fall off do you think you could beat him though no you can't if you're taking that hard you're going to blow it you're going to blow a hammy I'm willing to go down I'm willing to go down as long as you give me the time to train Joe I got to get all my people back in line Joe I'm going to have to spend about $250,000, $350,000 just to race one time It's not worth it. It's not worth it. I got a win, Joe. I got a win, Joe. I can't let him. You about to come in at bionic legs and all. $3.50. $3.50 is crazy. Oh, man. I'm telling you, I'm going to have to do something, man. Coming to life is $50. She said, Debo, please explain your matchups with Joe Thomas. My husband tried to offer me a necklace for your jersey I told him I would purchase one He pouting like a baby Even my teddy bear named Troy that has a 43 onesie is tripping Thank you. The matchups with Joe, Joe Thomas. Joe was a very, he was very technical. He had good feet and he was able to withstand a bull rush. So that was the big thing with Joe is he had good feet. and he was able to withstand a bull rush. So that's why it was difficult to get sacks on him when he was actually in his prime and doing the things that he did. I think only, man, maybe, what time did he come in? 2006, 2007? 2006 or 2007. Yeah, six or seven. Six or seven, yeah. So, yeah, that's what made him difficult. But other than the pass game, that was it. Like, run game, I ain't really worried about nobody on the run blocking. Like, that's what I do. Like, ain't no running this way. Ain't no coming around here. All that other stuff. Like, y'all take that over there. Y'all used to say, hey, man, y'all take that shit over there to Woodley, man. Y'all go ahead and run over there. Ain't nothing happening over here. I love it. I love it. You gave my man Joe Tease the respect, the bull rush. Oh, no question. Dude, dude, I would literally, I would literally, I would bull rush this dude. for like a whole half or three quarters, bro. And just bull rush, bull rush, bull rush. And hoping that he go set heavy. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, so what I would do is I had a bull rush and I had a bull rush that looked, it looked like I was going to bull rush, but I wouldn't bull. And I would slap, grab your arm and hook around. Yeah. It was the same move on the same step. So if a guy, after that first bull rush, he would the next time he would set heavy and hard i'd be like okay i got him joe wouldn't set heavy and hard that often so that's why it was hard because he was able to take that bull rush right he was able to whip right without having to set heavy and hard come on so when you get a guy like that like i'm just like i mean you can you have a i think one time where he's talking about and he's like, he's just, you know, he's just headbutting me, headbutting, head, like, that's what I'm doing. I'm just getting you set so that you, at some point, you're going to get tired of me hitting you in your head. Boom, boom, boom. And you're going to be like, uh, let me stop. As soon as they do that, I'm, uh. That's that, you sound like that Marshawn, they keep hitting him in the face over and over, over again. I'm like, you try, that's a will thing, bro. You keep hitting the man in his face repeatedly. He's going to eventually start folding and start doing different things. And that's when you setting them up the whole time. But, yep, that's wild. Oh, yeah, for sure, man. Like, that's just what it is, brother. We got another one. We got American Assassin, 001, $10. He said, what do you guys think about going out and signing Tyler Boyd? He is a Pittsburgh native and played college for the Pitt Panthers. What do you think of that? What year is it for Tyler? School, man. He been in the league? Let me check. How long he been in the league? Tyler Boy, he 31? Nah. I'm not mad at it. I like Tyler. I played against him. I like him, but I just, I'm trying to get us younger. I'm with you. Yeah. We're at that point where I think we need to get younger. Solid player, for sure, but not for us. Yeah, for sure. Covenant Life back $10 She said I just broke out in highs Hearing Joe talk about the Browns Just when I think it's all well Shake my head Debo Is hell Debo is hell today I'm weak She said the internet Don't even want to hear About the pound puppies Puppie pound sorry Puppie pound I'm going to let Covered It I'm going to let you slide They do It's all good My internet My internet went out It zapped out for a second I mean it's just like It's kind of like The team used to pay for it They just zap out Like things seem to be going Like well And all of a sudden They just zap out Covered It like No She said earlier Exactly what she felt Oh it makes me sick to my stomach The Browns are going to be So good this year And now she won't come back And say that So you already I'm believing the first one Covered It And you just You just Oh, well, I'm going to come back with another.
