ree Caitlyn Clark getting into it P Diddy and he got himself uh in it’s another situation that I believe is a bad PR nightmare I’ll explain along with some other stuff to get into but I’m going to shock y’all and I don’t want y’all to catch a heart attack I don’t want anybody to catch a heart attack because I’m gonna start off today’s show doing that hockey I’mma do that hockey that’s right I’mma steal that line from chance to rap on Saturday Night Live we let’s do that hockey okay because the Edmonton Oilers have overcome an 03 deficit against the Florida Panthers there is a game seven taking place tonight about 30 minutes outside of Miami Florida and guess who the hell is going to be there it’s going to be me it’s going to be me we going to do that hockey we going to do that hockey Stephen ain’t going to a damn hockey game now you know mean it’s not typical you know game that folks go to is a game seven and I’m not a typical person and you know I mean I mean I’m a humble man and whatever and I’ve been where most people have been but I ain’t got to sit in the stands I’mma Be in a sweet I’mma Be in a sweet okay you I got personal invites from people that matter in the world of hockey and I’m GNA be at the game tonight courtesy of that invite you know so I’m good I’m good now usually I don’t like listen let me be very very clear we going to be honest cuz I’m always honest to y’all I don’t lie to y’all damn it I don’t know anything about hockey other than the puck is black that’s it now I know when they training the puck might be white because they gotta you got to focus even more and they got to make sure that you know you can see the puck I know they got the orange pucks and the blue pucks and some way heavier ounce wise and others way lighter ounce wise but damn it in the National Hockey League when they’re playing games that matter the puck is black that much I know I know the Rangers and the Islanders you know New York City and Long Island respectively I know the devils in New Jersey I know the Florida Panthers down here I know the you know Edmonton orans you know they in Canada I know the Toronto Maple Leafs they in Canada too you understand what I’m saying I I know stuff like that but to get into the particulars of the sports [ __ ] hell no that ain’t me but that don’t mean I don’t appreciate the sport okay that don’t mean I don’t appreciate the sport this brother Conor McDavid I’ve heard about this man I actually had the pleasure of watching them for a few minutes in games five and six yeah Stephen they saw games five and six to some degree didn’t watch the whole game but I saw I saw them come back from an 03 deficit I know that nobody has done it since 1945 that’s around World War II time y’all I know that I know that this is epic and if you’re the Florida Panthers and you throw you blow a three-oh lead that’s very very bad I know that much and I know that when I look at the Edmonton Oilers you think about one man and one man above all else when it comes to hockey you think about this guy Conor McDavid who they call MC Jesus I got analyst showing up on national TV calling this man MC Jesus MC Jesus think about that and I’m like who the hell is this guy who the hell does he think he is and then I look at these numbers 647 assist ranks number one this is since joining the league in 2015 2016 Conor mcdavis 647 assists that’s number one 335 goals that’s five ranks fifth 982 points scored that ranks number one as well five art Rose trophies led to NHL and scoring that’s what that trophy is for he’s done it five times and and three hot trophies League MVP so he’s a five-time scoring champion he’s a three-time league MVP and he’s only been around since 2016 I understand why they call him MC Jesus he’s that phenomenal he’s that special but he doesn’t have any Stanley Cup titles and neither has a team from Canada since Gary betman became commissioner in 1993 that’s how long it has been since 2015 2016 this is what we’re talking about the most watched regular season since then and the most watched regular season on cable in 30 years in the United States 58.6 million fans across North America tuned in NHL games during this past regular season focusing solely on ESPN networks because you know they carry the games and what have you regular season games average 666,000 total viewers up 133% year over year through three rounds of the Conference Finals that’s through the Conference Finals the 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs are the most watched playoffs since 1996 across the United States of America that’s what we’re talking about here and so when I look at all of this and I see that the NHL is in this position I got to get props where props is Du to Gary bman I got to get props what props is Du to the players I mean these brothers show up you don’t hear about no load management with hockey you don’t hear about brothers taking games off ice skating it’s virtually impossible I can’t go two inches in high skates I’m my daughter my youngest daughter is 15 years old the hardest I ever heard her laugh in my life was when she asked me to show up to the rink in Chelsea p in New York City because they had a class you know class trip or whatever and somehow someway they got the daddies to show up in ice skates and show up on the ice skates ladies and gentlemen I had 60 and 70 year olds trying to help me up I kept busting my ass you ever saw the episode of Ralph Crampton and The Honeymooners when he tried to Roller skatee and he kept busting his ass well that was me on ice skates I’ve never done it before and I’ll never do it again it was pretty bad it was very very bad and my daughter I still here laughing at me and that was damn near eight years ago so I’m just letting y’all know right now anybody that could skate particularly as exceptional as hockey hockey players can do it I got nothing but admiration for them but we should be admiring this sport because it’s just growing and growing with popularity it’s an international sports with an international flavor and flare that Americans are gravitating to more and more and more baseball’s up in the ratings too obviously the National Football League is up in the ratings okay I’ll get the numbers for you on the NBA because I don’t have them available to me right now because I want to be totally accurate but hockey is climbing let’s give love what love is doing in terms of tonight I’m G to say this to you when I hear all the things that I’ve heard about McDavid it’s impossible to root against him but I think the Florida Panthers are gonna win I think they’re gonna survive despite losing a three-oh lead and allowing this series to get tied and to have a game seven forced I think think the Florida Panthers are going to find a way to pull it out now that’s just me totally guessing yes I’ve been wrong on basketball but I’ve been right on basketball far more than I’ve been wrong I’ve been right about football far more than I’ve been wrong same thing with baseball I don’t know [ __ ] about hockey nothing but I know I respect the hell out of these players and I know that game sevens are game sevens I don’t give a damn who you are when you hear game seven baby baby that’s what it’s all about and I’m looking forward to watching this tonight’s game in person live right there I will be there Stephen ain’t doing that hockey Stephen ain’t doing that hockey now let me move on to some basketball that’s my wheelhouse JJ reick is the new head coach for the Los Angeles Lakers uh introduced today by the Los Angeles Lakers there’s a lot of people that talk in junk they don’t know what the hell they talking about they’re acting like people got a problem JJ reck getting the job no he don’t JJ reick there’s plenty of coaches that have gotten jobs didn’t have any specific coaching experience before they landed those jobs Doc Rivers was one of them Mark Jackson was another Steve nasham sure wasn’t a head coach he got the job there have been other folks JJ reick is a brilliant basketball mind and he’s somebody that contributed to my day job on first take and other shows and he did a fabulous job for us nothing but respect for him wishing him nothing but the best um the challenge for him is going to be personality wise being able to lead those guys young dudes um who may be hard-headed and not want to listen JJ will get in your face JJ will tell you exactly how he feels JJ will do so fearlessly all of that is true here’s what they don’t say about JJ reick he’s actually a very fair-minded guy he’s a very fair-minded guy he’s very thoughtful and he can feel the way that he feels and he will call [ __ ] in a heartbeat no question um and he’s somebody that will earn your respect because when you’re talking to him you’re going to know you’re talking to somebody that knows what the hell he’s talking about now whether that leads to him being more successful than Frank vogle more successful than dingham remains to be seen what I will say is that the problem isn’t with JJ reck he’s gonna look the part good-looking dude dress Sharp I mean I think he could bring his pants just a little bit lower St wearing high D high high waters that showing his damn ankle bone and stuff like that that’s just my personal opinion he knows I tease him about his style sometimes but the bottom line in all seriousness I’m rooting for him and I really really hope that he does well having said all of that what about the Lakers because here’s the reality if you’re the Los Angeles Lakers Darin ham went to the Western Conference Finals his first year and lost got swept by their ultimate Champions Denver Nuggets the very next year they the reigning defending Champions and they take the Lakers out in five games okay we understand so he’s gone well before Darvin ham Frank voger won the title and it wasn’t like Frank voger was clamoring for LeBron James and and Anthony Davis and those boys to feel good about Alex Caruso walking out the door cavius Carwell Pope walking out the door but in the end it had to happen and their Replacements didn’t really do much and so you have a situation where ultimately you weren’t able to enjoy the same level of success and then then lo and behold Frank vogle gone so you got somebody that delivered a championship for you he’s going inside of three years you got another guy that takes you to the Western Conference Finals he’s going inside of two years well what the hell is going to be the litness test that judges the job and the quality of the job that JJ re does what if JJ reick develops all the young players what if all of these guys what if Austin Reeves gets better what if D’Angelo Russell shows that he has a pulse on a backtack night what about some of the other guys that are relatively young if you end up really really coaching them to get better is that going to be good enough or is jeie bus and Roba Lincoln gonna say hey you didn’t get to the Conference Finals you didn’t get to the NBA finals we need to find another coach it’s going to be an interesting question it’s going to be an interesting question it’s going to be interesting to see and if JJ reick ends up getting a lot more latitude well why was he giving more latitude than Darvin ham why was he giv more latitude than a guy that delivered a championship like Frank vogle these are the questions that are going to be asked all of those are fair questions just not for JJ reck it’s not his problem if you are LeBron James my brother I think you should prepare yourself for far more more scrutiny than that if two coaches are going inside of three years well LeBron James what does that say about you as the faing the leader of the franchise I’m not accusing of anything I’m just asking the question if you’re going to be a skeptic you’re going to ask those kind of questions what about you you know they could have had taoo didn’t want to pay him enough plus wanted to pick his staff you could have had Monty Williams but you turned him off and he ended up going to Phoenix and ultimately guiding them to an NBA Finals appearance before a few years later he moved on and went to Detroit and now he’s out in Detroit which is a Blessing by the way not a curse but if you’re LeBron James you got to answer those questions because how many coaches are the Lakers going to employ and how long do you think stupidly or foolishly or you must think we’re fools like LeBron has nothing to do with any of this he wants nothing to do with this just because he doesn’t take calls when coaching candidates want to talk to him or he isn’t in Genie bus in Rob Pink’s face talking to them about don’t tell me that LeBron James has absolutely positively nothing with any of the changes that have taken place in Los Angeles just like Anthony Davis didn’t have anything so when Anthony Davis goes into a press conference after losing game two to the Denver Nuggets in a western conference first round series and he sits there and says we’re a bit discom populated and out of sink and out of wank or whatever verb you used that had absolutely positively no effect with Darin H being fired huh zero maybe it didn’t because maybe it was already a forego conclusion and maybe Anthony Davis did knew that which is why he felt free to say what he said because I got news for you search high and low over the career of Anthony Davis he never talked about a coach in that manner ever it never happened that’s not who he is so again not condemning him either but these are questions that are legitimate that deserve to be asked period so again JJ reck’s got his work cut out for him but he ain’t the only one Rob palinka how about keeping a coach for more than two seasons Genie bus how many coaches you want to pay at the same time these are questions these are questions and we simply can’t get away with that we can’t get around that okay we just can’t by the way let me move on real quick and say congratulations to Warriors Golden State Warriors assistant Kenny Atkinson former head coach in Brooklyn for four years had like a 11890 record one about 38% of his games um so he probably thought he was never going to be a head coach again well the Cleveland Cavaliers have offered him the head coaching job and so because they’ve offered him the head coaching job and he’s the one that’s being hired well he he was with Steve Kerr he knows what a championship culture looks like he knows what’s required and what it’s going to take but here’s the reality he should have never been going from Brooklyn If You’re Gonna Lose Kenny ainson you don’t lose Kenny ainson to hire a guy Steve Nash that never coached a day in his life on any level you don’t do that but that’s what the Brooklyn Nets did that’s what they did and one could easily say chickens came home to roost you get what you pay for Kevin Durant Kyrie Irving they didn’t mind a rookie coach coaching them because they didn’t want to be coached they just wanted to do what the hell they wanted to do at the time I understand that Kyrie’s made a turn for the better not trying to knock him at all KD is still KD is a superstar in this league it’s undeniable but here’s the reality if they want to that against in the stay he’d still be there if they didn’t want Steve Nash warrant serious consideration for the Brooklyn Nets job at the time they wouldn’t he would not have been there KD and Kyrie were running the show period and what happened was a byproduct of them doing that very very simple no way around it so again congrats to Kenny ainson for getting that second chance I’m happy for him having said all of that I do notice JJ reick Kenny ainson okay I’m not one of those guys that believe every coach in the league is supposed to be black just make sure the numbers are representative of black folks contribution to the game Sam Cassell has been an assistant coach for 15 years 15 years at some point is anybody going to give him a chance it’s two-time Champion as a player played for the Milwaukee Bucks going the conference going the Conference finals against Philadelphia in 2001 Allen abson the crew when he had Ray Allen and big dog Glenn Robertson as his teammate won two titles with Houston in the mid 90s if I remember correctly who was on Doc River Staff last year in Philly he goes to Boston they win the title I’m always going to bring up my man Phil handy who’s one of the great Player Development coaches in the game that the Lakers just let go for some inexplicable reason not so much the Lakers but LeBron James letting them go how about that one so there’s a lot to think about there’s a lot to contemplate there’s a lot to discuss and we can definitely do that but again congratulations to JJ reck more so to a lesser degree Kenny ainson not rued against you at all wish you nothing but the best but JJ reck is the big hire and Udonis Hassam member of the Miami Heat organization former player for the Miami Heat for 20 years I believe said it best when he said when JJ is talking inside that locker room or those players gonna listen to him or are those players going to be about the business of saying yo who are we really listening to JJ reic or Lebron James after all as great of a player as LeBron James is there’s nothing that he’s greater at one would argue than dictating narratives I would tell you his play is actually greater than dictating narratives but there are people who have made hyperbolic State hyperbolic statements about him along those lines we shall see things are interesting in Southern California no doubt about that everyone knows I live in breathe Sports and that I have to be part of all the big games but how do I do that exactly I use priz piics of course the largest fantasy sports platform in all of the land with over three million members all you do is select two or more players from your favorite sport the WNBA MLB tennis golf even boxing all right and then choose more or less on their projected ingame stats it not only feels my need for the big time action but it’s incredibly easy to play and takes just 60

match your first deposit of up to $100 that’s right go to prospects.com and use code SAS for a first deposit match of up to $100 you heard me that is code SAS when you go to prospects.com pick more pick less is really really that easy did y’all see yesterday’s game did you see yesterday’s game I’m talking the WNBA game between the Indiana fiva and the Chicago Sky did you see that game did you see Angel Reese and Chicago down 15 points did you see Caitlyn Clark pulling up from all over the damn place or throwing incredible bounce passes that her teammates couldn’t convert to a damn layup did you see Angel reice bring Chicago back from a 15-point deficit and ultimately beat the Indiana Fever the way they did last night one point oh my goodness it was special and you saw that crowd there it was something special you saw the numbers you see the numbers right there 25 points 8 for 12 shooting 16 rebounds one assist did you know that right now Angel ree is averaging 13 points and 11 rebounds do you know that she’s had eight straight double doubles do you know that at this moment in time she ranks number two in the league number two she’s a rookie she’s a rookie number two in the league at 11.1 rebounds per game second only to Asia Wilson for the aces at 11.6 that’s who we’re talking about when we’re talking about angel Reese this is Angel Reese I’m a dog you can’t teach that I’m I’m going to go out and do whatever it takes to win every single night my teammates rely on my energy so being able to continue the energy even if we’re down even if we’re up that’s what I do she’s got eight straight double doubles y’all that’s a WNBA rookie record she’s second in the league in rebounding as a rookie I I mean I don’t know what else to say now Caitlyn Clark ranks fourth in the league in assist was 6.6 she’s the number one overall pick who’s on Pace to become the first WNBA rookie ever to average 15 points five rebounds five assists I get all of that but I bring all of this subject up because for two reasons number one I want to give major major props to Angel ree because she did exactly what I suggested you remember when y’all heard me talking weeks ago and I said listen when you sit up there and you look at Caitlyn Clark as the cash cow don’t hate appreciate sit up there compete with her get in her face talk trash do whatever you got to do but let her be her why because if you know how to capitalize off of it you too are going to become a household name and what has Angel Reese done ladies and gentlemen Angel Reese can ball she can really play and she’s just a rookie she’s going to have an impact for years to come in the WNBA let me ask y’all this question who the hell is Angel Reese if Angel Reese doesn’t wave her hand in her face like this mocking Caitlyn Clark and what Caitlyn Clark did to competition in the NCAA a couple of years ago when LSU ultimately ended up winning the national title when Adel Reese went up against Caitlyn Clark and LSU shut him down and then beat him down and and Adel Reese was mocking her for what she did to other opponents saying that [ __ ] ain’t happening here that’s what made Angela household name now don’t get me wrong her game backs it up so that certainly helps but it ain’t like it’s two shooting guards going against one another two point guards going one against one another or two centers or forwards going up head-to-head at at similar positions against one another no Caitlin Clark’s a guard she’s the step Curry of women’s basketball as far as I’m concerned and angrew Reese is a fo it but the reason why it’s a rival is not because of basketball it’s because Angel Reese is willing to chirp and talk that trash and then go on to court and back it up and marck Caitlyn Clark the second she gets a chance with no apologetic compunction whatsoever and you know what it’s got us doing watching Angel Reese watching her team in Chicago you saw that crowd yesterday I’m telling y’all right now pay attention especially if Angel Reese is one of those people that ain’t gonna have a problem being the bad girl being the one that agitates and irritates people being seen as a pariah in some people’s eyes no matter what tears you saw when she lost in the elite eight no matter how you saw her phase by losing out to Caitlyn Clark in Iowa no matter what you saw the bottom line is this Angel Reese is a strong black woman she don’t mind being a bad girl if that’s going to help her team win and she can throw it in Caitlyn Clark’s face she going to do it and you know what’s going to happen they going to market the hell out of her because of it you see what I mean by using the cash cow to your own Advantage instead of lamenting it appreciate it and get paid off of it that’s what Angel ree is doing because we are taking notice jerseys being sold another paraphernalia bet you she’s top five of course she is by the way my condolences to Cameron Brink who T I think it’s tour ACL or something like that for the Los Angeles Sparks all the best to you Cameron Brink wishing you nothing but the best Jimmy Butler man you went out there to visit her and then all of a sudden she got hurt I’m only playing I’m only playing bro not joking about her injury at all just teasing Jimmy Butler a little bit that’s my man but nothing but the best of camera Brink wishing her nothing but the best by the bright future get yourself back healthy get back on that basketball court and reap the benefits of Caitlyn Clark and Angel Ree and anything else that comes along with the WNBA what’s up next on the dock is when Caitlyn Clark goes to Phoenix and goes up against Diana terasi because we know what D terasi had to say about her coming into the league months ago when she was on Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt there’s levels to this and Caitlyn Clark coming to town so we gonna find out it’s gonna be real interesting to see how that unfolds I’m paying attention to it I can tell you that much but that was one thing I wanted to bring up the angel Ree factor and the angel Reed’s component here’s the other thing I wanted to touch on who’s your rookie of the year I already told you Caitlyn Clark is averaging 155 and five no rookies ever done that in the WNBA 6.6 assists per game ranks fourth in the WNBA her stats on the season 16.3 points 40% shooting from the field 35% shooting from three-point range 89% from the free throw line 5.4 rebounds I get that and obviously being in eye of storm being the number one overall pick with everybody targeting you it’s one of those situations where yo Caitlyn Clark is getting it thrown at her okay how can she handle it how you handle it says a lot about her so she’s right up there and I give her credit for that but the ladies Monica mcnut L China Robinson comes on the air as analyst today and they educate me about how much not much was uh expected from Chicago this year and look at what Angel Reese has done to assist in turning that around whereas with Caitlyn Clark Indiana was knocking on door last year because so many of their losses were closed games and they were supposed to expect they were expected to get over the hump this year but they started out 2- nine before winning six of their last 10 games so it’s going to be real interesting to see how things unfold as the Ser as the season progresses both of them had long NCAA Seasons they finished the year a month earlier in in in in April in May the WNBA their WNBA career start these ladies have had no break and they out there performing like this I give mad love and respect to them I really really do I think they’ve been very very impressive and they deserve a lot of credit and I’m happy for both of them in the first 11 games Caitlin Clark was two and two and N record 15.6 points 36% shooting 30% from three-point range over the last seven games she’s got a 5-2 record 17.3 points per game 48% shooting from the field that’s a 12% Spike and a 14% Spike on threes from 30% to 4 44% that’s Caitlyn Clark Angel Reese first nine games 11-4 33% shooting from the field 9.2 rebounds per game over the last six games Angel Reese is scoring 15.8 points a game on 51% shooting and grabbing 14 rebounds per game this Rookie of the Year race is Nip and Tuck between Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese and if anybody would to say that as of right now I’m picking Angel Reese to be my rookie of the year I can’t knock you I can’t knock you Shakari Richardson 100 meter had girl smoked them yesterday we know she had some issues in the past we get all of that but this

digital Airwaves of YouTube look going to transition to pop culture and entertainment even though the word entertainment isn’t really applicable here uh because the subject involved sha P Diddy Coles making news yet again as far as I’m concerned for all the wrong reasons now we know what he made the news for over uh the last several weeks uh because no matter how much of a fan of his work as I have been throughout the years uh it’s pretty impossible to come remotely close to okaying or offsetting the egregious acts that were caught on video involving him but he’s making news yet again in an indirect manner over the same incident as far as I’m concerned and it’s not foolish before I get into anything let’s remind our audience of what got Sean P P didy KES in the hot water I’m not talking about Homeland Security raiding his homes in Miami and Los Angeles I’m not talking about accusations because until further proof comes forward they’re nothing but accusations I’m not talking about them even handcuffing his his sons and all of this other stuff I’m not talking about that I’m talking about what we all saw on video take a look at this again it’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life sometimes you got to do that I was [ __ ] up I mean I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses my behavior on that video is inexcusable I take full responsibility for my actions in that video disgusted I was disgusted then when I did it I’m disgusted now I went and I sought out professional help got to go into therapy and go on rehab had asked God for his mercy and Grace I’m so sorry but I’m committed to be a better man each and every day I’m not asking for forgiveness I’m truly [Music] sorry make of that video what you will you saw his actions you saw how egregious they were you saw his apology some people thought it was sincere some people thought it was [ __ ] doesn’t really matter what’s done is done and he’s got to live with those actions for the rest of his life fortunate for him that particular incident there you know there’s an expiration on that in terms of whether or not he could be prosecuted for that according to LA County which is where it happened but here’s where it gets I don’t want to use the word tricky or whatever but one would argue foolish on the part of Shan p d cones my man you deleted all the videos from your Instagram account including that one I just showed if you had a million photos if you had a million videos and you decided to delete 999,999 100 that’s the one you should have kept up if you’re sincere you got nearly 20 million followers on Instagram 20 million nearly 20 million and I know that you’ve been taking a lot of hits and there’s been strap nails of criticism all over the place aimed in your direction not that it wasn’t deserved but that doesn’t mean that there’s but so much one human being could take although one could argue the x that you hit had to deal with a hell of a lot more than you had to deal with in terms of the criticism but I digress my only point for bringing up this subject on this particular day is because did he why’ you delete that video of the apology to delete all of them delete everything else not Dad don’t you want people to know that you were contrite that you were incredibly sorry that you have profound regret for the egregious actions that you were caught on camera committing by deleting the video you throw all of that out the window the possibility of the very few people who would ever believe that really having a believe a reason to continue to believe you why would you delete who are your PR people I mean who are these people where where is the council where is the advice cuz had that been me i’ have said never delete your account and never delete that video leave that up forever because that was you apologizing and owning up to your transgression a video that you know everybody else has I know you say everybody else got it everybody got it because I already said it I already put it out there but you deleting it from your account that wasn’t smart that that that wasn’t smart especially when most of the world got access to it anyway it comes across as you want to erase everything as opposed to wanting to be accountable for everything I might have to look look up who your publicist is I want to know who this person is cuz if they giving you advice and you’re listening it ain’t good advice unless you’re not listening at all and you’re just impulsively acting out which one could easy easily argue is what got you in trouble to begin with I’m just saying I’m just saying I’m not judging people I’m judging actions I’m just saying damn don’t delete that video not that one back with more of the Stephen A

that’s cash app download cash app from app store or Google Play Store today welcome back right here to the Stephen AI show over the digital Airwaves of YouTube I got a few items that I want to get to before I get on out of here this afternoon um I gotta confess Ryan Garcia is starting to get on my damn nerves now I’ve interviewed this man twice this man is a former Champion okay um I think Elite I think Ultra talented we saw him beat up Devin Haney a couple of months ago before we learned that he was using performance enhancing drugs now he came came into the fight overweight prior to that being overweight was determined he had a handshake agreement with Devon Haney to give him $500,000 for every pound that he was overweight he came in three pounds overweight owing Devon Haney $1.5 million paid Devin Haney 1.5 million promptly beat his ass because he did and I really thought it was unfair to Devin Haney once the news came out um or even before the news came out about potential performance-enhancing drug use testing positive for a baned substance because for me three pounds is a huge difference and to have to come in and to be allowed to come in three pounds overweight and to be ineligible to actually fight for a belt but you still had the fight that night I think that put Devon Haney in a bad spot Devon Haney was the champion he was undefeated at 30 and0 he was unblemished as far as I’m concerned he should have never went into that ring he should have never given Ryan Garcia the time of day if Ryan Garcia could not could not honor his commitment to the profession by making sure you met the weight clause and you showed up the way that you were supposed to show up now to me Ryan Garcia is messed up in the head right now and I’mma tell you why in just a second and I’m not saying this to insult him I’m not saying him to criticize him I’m saying it because I’m concerned about him and I’m going tell you why in a minute but here is what we need to understand a second test was given it came back that Ryan Garcia who actually actually appealed the decision came back that indeed he had tested positive for the ban substance as a result the New York State boxing commission has suspended him for a year has had him pay back about 1.2 million of his earnings plus they finded him 10,000 plus the fight against Devin Haney has been ruled a no contest and so because of that Devon Haney is still undefeated and I know he’s feeling good about it but we saw what we saw and we saw you get dropped three times and so we’re looking at it from that standpoint and you you you just can’t get around that he should have never fought him if the man wasn’t willing to honor his commitment but before I go any step further let me show you why I’m very very concerned about Ryan Garcia this is him at a poker tournament y’all with Miami Heats Jimmy Butler along with various other people just take a look at how he sounds and how he is acting watch this cheers is he going to chug that whole thing all right all right only half that’s beautiful a diamond would be [Music] [Applause] insane I’m I’m Different damn low rolling him I’m start gar that’s fast tell me how you’re feeling with this table it feels great U I love Jesus and uh I’m feeling great are those pants just falling off I’m happy the money went to you thanks cuz you have a lot of girls and I do too start off like this just fcking [ __ ] mic yeah let’s talk about Devon Haney what are your thoughts on him he slept with b Diddy he had massive sex with him then beat his ass and he sues me so you love Jesus but you have massive girls you’re gate in in front of the camera and then you either lie on or dime out another dude’s sexual activity because he sued you because drug test revealed you cheated after you refuse to honor your commitment to a title fight by coming in overweight on purpose and not giv the damn about any rules and regulations make sense of that y’all take y’all time I’ll wait but it’s not necessary let me tell you what’s really going on with Ryan Garcia Ryan Garcia hasn’t gotten over the fact that he got beat by javante Davis personally if Ryan Garcia appeared to have his head on straight I would love to see him in the ring with javante Davis again I got no issues with that Ryan Garcia is a spectacular boxing talent and for those trolls out there that were talking about oh my goodness look at Jimmy Butler Jimmy Butler for the Miami Heat looking like he wanted to slap the living hell out of him or whatever well he might have wanted to mad love for the Rough Rider that is Jimmy Butler but Jimmy Butler is a basketball player not not a boxer we’ve seen what happened when basketball players have gotten into the ring against boxers I ain’t bringing up no names but we’ve SE what happened let’s understand that when we’re talking about this and we’re talking about Ryan Garcia look man look at how you acting now he got dropped in the second round against Javon Davis before getting stopped in like the sixth round off of a body shot and it seems to be something he hasn’t gotten over and immediate afterm that you complained about your training you complained about your team The Golden Boy promotions Oscar De La Hoya and all of these cats you don’t you seem a bit off-kilter you’re out of the game for a little bit you come back you fight somebody else you look good then you fight Devin Haney you get him to commit to a fight against you y’all popping [ __ ] into each other you acting wild during promotions we all Bor into it because damn it made us look interesting to the look at the fight with interest but Dan not only do you come in overweight by three pounds at Shawn Porter and Clarissa Shields pointed out doing an excellent job in their pre-fight and post-fight commentary but you have no regard for the rules and the regulations I’m not a boxer they are they said flat out three PBS overweight is a significant thing why is that such an issue y’all why is that so very important because Ryan Garcia had a weight Clause against javante Davis and it wasn’t his name that was the was the Marquee it was javante Davis it was tank Davis’s name so you had to meet a certain weight and a certain hydration clause which means I only had to meet that weight for weigh-in but then you couldn’t turn around over the next 24 hours and gain as much pounds as you wanted to for fight night that contributed to his attitude going into the fight against Devon Haney and the fact that he was taking criticism for losing to tank Davis his whole [ __ ] is to win no matter what that’s the reason all of this is going on who ran up to and jumped on a ring apron after javante Davis knocked out Frank Martin sat last Saturday night who did that now nine days ago who did that that was Ryan Garcia hugging and and talking and laughing with javante Davis and then on the back of the shirt calling for a rematch well why should javante Davis ever want to get in the ring with Ryan Garcia again he don’t need javant he don’t need Ryan Garcia he already beat him now would I like to see a rematch with Ryan Garcia if his head is on straight and he’s acting right and he’s willing to show the necessary discipline the honor the sport the way that’s supposed to the sport is supposed to be honest sure that left hook is vicious the quickness in that left hook is spectacular the right hand is no joke either but you can’t act like this I I I respect Ryan Garcia so much and I genuinely like him I’ve interviewed him a couple of times I root for him in a whole bit you can’t do this [ __ ] you got to stop I mean you’re embarrassing yourself you’re making yourself look like you’re not all there and we don’t want excuses when you fighting next time if the weight Clause is what it is you step in the ring bam it that’s the weight Clause get Javonte to fight you at 140 oh I forgot you can’t get him to do a damn thing because you ain’t the Marque he is gavon Davis is arguably the best on the planet he’s clearly the biggest box office attraction in the sport as far as I’m concerned he don’t have to do anything but maybe maybe just maybe if you followed rules and regulations and you won and you went and took Devin Haney’s title at the 140 pound weight class and you weren’t acting all crazy maybe we would be in the midst of a rematch between you and Javon Davis right now since it was really a body shot to deliver that took you out that can happen to anybody it wasn’t like he beat you up it wasn’t like he slapped you around the way he did Frank Martin he just caught you with a nice body shot but with all of this stuff you doing Ron gcia it makes no sense it makes no sense and now you can’t fight New York State athletic commission I don’t know what other governing bodies and other states may do What you going to end up doing wanting to go to Saudi Arabia to fight I mean come on man come on lomman chenko is in there Shakur Stevenson is in there tiimo Lopez is in there javante Davis might stay 135 might move up come on it’s a lot of compelling fights what’s up and if you get so [ __ ] these when you get so big well guess what just move up to the welterweight division at 147 Terence Crawford is waiting he waiting ER spener still around how about boots in us we gonna stop talking about boxing and not mentioning boots in US Jon boots in us we G to say the brother undefeated mind you and a knockout artist in his own right I’m trying to figure out why Javon why Terence Crawford hasn’t fought that one that fight what we doing here there’s a lot of fights Ryan Garcia you ain’t got to sit up there and come in overweight to fight a smaller dude when you can gain your weight and fight somebody your own size at the welterweight division what’s up rather than acting all crazy and making news because of that as far as Devin Haney my brother I wish you nothing but the best do I think you would lose to javante Davis I think javante Davis would knock you out I’m not rooting for it I like Devon Haney but I just think that’s what’s gonna happen boxing just analyzing it I only got one frustration with Devon Haney and one frustration only he should have never allowed Ryan Garcia to step into that ring against him without honoring the closes in the contract the championship is for 140 you have to meet that weight period you want this title shot you want this belt these are the conditions that’s what he should have done Devin Haney allowing Ryan Garcia to Buck the system and do whatever the hell he wants acting the way that he was acting leading up to the Pres leading up to the fight coming in overweight Devin Haney was a champion that didn’t act like a champion he was a champion acting like the Challenger he was a champion acting like he was the one starving for the fight when it was Ryan Garcia who should have been starving for the fight because he didn’t have the belt Devin Haney did I’m not throwing no shade on any individual person I’m only talking about their actions Ryan Garcia acting crazy and not following rules and regulations and Devin Haney allowing him to get away with it the brilliant one in all of this has been javante Davis taking care of anybody that’s standing in his path while also making them capitulate to his rules and his vision if you want him in the ring against you that’s a champion and he’s showing it transition into the world of politics real quickly all I want to say is this I’ve lamented the fact that we have the two candidates that we have for President of the United States one candidate who is seven years 78 years of age who’s been impeached twice who’s now a convicted felon um who’s been talking about every time something doesn’t go his way something’s rigged um I just think our country doesn’t need that problem but we also don’t need ass soon to be 82y old that clearly looks like he’s lost the step giving us four more years nobody’s trying to sit up there and say that Biden has done an awful job or anything like that that’s for y’all to discuss hell somebody can say he did a great job you find somebody use the same set of facts to say he’s awful I’m tired of that argument I got better things to do with my life but what I will say is that when somebody’s 82 years of age they’re usually looking to slow down and enjoy the rest of their years not take on responsibilities for the most arduous job in the land and that’s what Joe Biden is doing with that being said those are our two candidates B in any unforeseen circumstances and the one thing that I does have me excited is this debate coming up Thursday in Atlanta Georgia I’m excited about that because Trump hasn’t sounded as coherent as Lucid as people try to give him credit for some of the time and we all know everybody’s gotten on Biden for the same thing who’s gonna be the sharpest one who’s going to be on their p’s and q’s who’s going to have their facts in order who’s going to be on their game what do we going to see Thursday night in Atlanta Georgia President Biden didn’t have to take this debate this early you know he could have waited he’s the incumbent everything to lose very little to gain he took it anyway major props to the president of the United States major props in the case of Trump trump ain’t playing either convicted felon so what twice impeach so what give a damn bump y’all I’m still going to be the GOP nominee just like I’m the presumptive GOP nominee now I ain’t doing no time in jail they ain’t sentencing me to jail they know they know it’ll be Mayhem in this country that’s how he thinking that’s how he’s thinking so what I’ve been clamoring for is beat the man let’s find out who that is Thursday night is game one there’s going to be at least two debates possibly three but game one is Thursday night in Atlanta Georgia a black Mosaic in some people’s eyes black Haven this man Trump been going around talking to black people yo I’m a better option than this Democrat or any of the Democrats let’s find out Saturday on Thursday night you damn sure know I don’t believe it but I’ll be damned if I’m not watching I can’t wait for this debate I got to see this for myself and so should the rest of y’all no crowd and mics are going to be turned off when the other is talking because Trump interrupted Biden so much in 2020 during their couple of debates Trump in front of a crowd to me that’s a landslide for him Trump without the crowd to lean on and with a mic that’s muzzled and silenced while Biden is talking that’s G to be very interesting as a person who communicates over the microphone for a living I’m telling you right now it’s a tougher challenge when there is no audience and your mic is silenced while the other person is talking because when it’s your turn everything you say must be substantive you don’t get to mumble you don’t get to deflect you don’t get to evade without it being conspicuously noticed so that’s very important who’s going to thrive under those circumstances it’ll tell us a lot it really will and I can’t wait I’ll be right in front of that damn television set Thursday now you better the house on that and show [ __ ] every American citizen there should be tens of millions of people watching this debate Thursday night don’t miss it don’t miss it I’mma keep saying that until Thursday arrives don’t miss it I just wanted to say that transition into the world of pop culture and entertainment I don’t know if y’all saw this video of Travis Kelsey you know tillay Swift is on her errors tour and uh making bill deservedly so cuz I saw her concert I saw that at store I went twice spectacular spectacular she turned that [ __ ] out it’s one of the best concs I ever saw in my life she deserve all the hype for that my man Travis Kelce my brother from another mother tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs three-time Super Bowl champion by the way that’s his lady these days and he showed up at her concert I don’t know I couldn’t hear the same wasn’t listening to it and all this other stuff I’m happy to see he’s happy I’m happy to see that they still are together and kicking it or whatever fine fine fine fine fine I just wonder it’s one thing to comment about it because it’s in the news so that’s why I comment about it but I must tell you I don’t really care I can give two cents about Travis Kel’s love life I could give two cents about Taylor Swift’s love life this is the thing that amazes me about folks that are so enthralled and I understand she got the swifties and all of that I’m not talking about little girls who love her my two daughters love her I got that part this is what drives me crazy you got grown adults all trying to be all in their business like if you had your DRS and and they were hooking up with each other you could stand there and watch that’s how desperate some of y’all are tell Swift is a grown ass woman Travis Kel is a grown ass man did you think they were virgins you didn’t think they were getting loose with somebody I can assure you Travis Kelsey was getting loose I think the only thing up there with his Super Bowl rings are the choices this brother has made spectacular anybody that knows me knows exactly who I’m talking about Travis Kelce that brother his choices are impeccable I’m talking about my for tayor with marvelous I’m shaking marvelous for a fact spectacular okay what you think he was doing watching movies sitting there singing hns and stuff like that you think he wasn’t doing something where was the interest then you think Taylor Swift was at home with her mom laying on the couch eating chocolate chip cookies and drinking milk and going to bed by 900 p.m. with some curfew or something she’s a grown ass woman why youall acting like you know oh my god look who she’s with I mean I wonder where they’re at I wonder what they’re doing with the cameras and all of this other stuff and y’all how you doing I can see Travis right now what’s up bro how think you good you look good all right if I said anything about Taylor Swift it would be tell I said hello that’s about it why y’all tripping some of y’all really really really need to get a life it’s it’s it’s like the thought of them screwing around warrant is warrant’s Front Page News they’re two consenting adults news flash it’s news if they’re not screwing around you feel me you feel me let’s get to the tweets before we get on out of here so let’s go to my let’s go to tweets my first tweet was this morning I saw my man Ryan Clark hosting because you know now with his new contract and stuff like that he’s not just a a football pundit but he has gets to actually do some hosting obviously he’s the host of the popular pivot podcast that he has with um chanon Crowder and Fred Taylor and those boys doing a great great job that they’re doing but he’s also a host of uh get up on ESPN uh when greeny wasn’t there Ryan Clark was hosting this morning and if you saw him you saw the brother looking like Pink Panther for crying out loud silk pink shirt P Pink Suit etc etc well somebody else had on a pink suit of the week I didn’t I didn’t you know I I couldn’t let that slide so I tweeted Ryan clar this morning to my man real clock 25 hosting get up at ESPN I see you I see you Pink Panther however I do recall some good-look brother myself rocking that joint before you so as I’ve repeatedly given you credit are you going to give me my props this morning for the inspiration I clearly provided that was what I said to Ryan Clark and if you can see you see me with well first of all my team messed up right here because you see they got the wrong suit I got a hot pink suit but I also had a suit the color that Ryan Clark had on so my producers you know in their Brilliance always trying to be ahead of the curb picked the wrong damn suit that I had on I rolled up in the Boston I think it was Dallas actually with a exact pink colored suit that Ryan Clark had on but they missed that that’s my team y’all that’s my team sometimes it’s okay though I’m gonna let it slide okay I forgive him it happens to the best of us all right so that is what it is I was just teasing my man Ryan Clark I know how good he looks he’s in better shape than me I can tell you that much and by the way I’m wishing him well I know hosting is important to him and I know he wants to do stuff like that more and more and more so hey it is what it is all right this guy Jake Bates bulge um Twitter handle at what what is it c o r u m i s m y fave faav right Stephen A what’s Corum is my fave that’s what it is right Stephen A what’s the worst to hoop on anytime you’re shooting Hoops without a net that’s the worst to hoop on because even though you make it and it requires a bit more Focus to make sure you make those shots and it’s good for vision and it helps improve your jump shot better than the ones with the Nets it’s not quite the same feeling when you see the ball going through the net than when it’s going through a hoop without a net that’s the answer to that question next up at hero dividend WR Stephen A Smith would you eat my aunts mac and cheese respectful y hell no it looks nasty I’m just being honest with you I I don’t like the way this looks I’m looking at it right now that don’t look like that that doesn’t look like the kind of macaroni and cheese that I would eat it’s not fluffy it’s not you know yellowish whatever the case may be um I’ve seen plenty of mac and cheeses that look better than that one my brother but that don’t mean you tell her that got to find a nice delicate way cuz your aunt’s a very loving woman and she looked out for you and she’s doing what she can to appease you and what have you she tried the best it just didn’t work so I would tell you that okay outside of that you know what find a way to improve it so next time she makes it it’s even better okay last tweet is from at jrb 101 988 right say Stephen A Smith do you think Edmonton Oilers will complete the series comeback against Florida Panthers and win the Stanley Cup Conor McDavid Conor MC Jesus I’m rooting for him because when you’re somebody that great and the only thing missing from your resume is a Stanley Cup Championship you got five scoring titles you got three League MVPs you’re a leading assist man a leading scorer you’re considered the arguably one of the great actually not arguably one of the greatest ever I’m rooting for you but in the same breath I just got this feeling on their home turf for a game seven that Florida will find a way to win this whether it’s the end of regulation is overtime I think it’s going to be a thriller and I think ultimately Ely they will find a way to pull this off score like 32 that’s what I’m thinking that’s what I’m thinking I got to get ready to get on out of here but before I do um I just wanted to let everybody know that this weekend was a very um humbling weekend for me uh in a very good way I was in Los Angeles California yesterday which is why I’m so damn sleepy For Crying Out L all of this travel but I was in Los Angeles California downtown Los Angeles at the Millennium builtmore Hotel because courtesy of the LA Press Club um one of the most prestigious press clubs in the country that Washington Post Press Club that kind of thing I was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award the Joseph Quinn Lifetime Achievement Award for my career in journalism and the work that I’ve done throughout the years um so it was an incredible honor it’s not something that I take like um even though we live in a world where you see people all the time with their own podcast and you see people getting their own shows and it’s folks that have never been in journalism doing these things to be a journalist for as long as I have been a journalist and to accomplish the things that I’ve accomplished um I never thought I’d be given a Lifetime Achievement Award but here it is so that happened and um I was very touched by it to say the least um but there’s still a message to be sent at all times and I took that opportunity to do just that last night when I was giv this speech take a look at just a snippet of it please nobody wants to be hated but you don’t get into this business to be like you don’t get into this business to Curry favor you don’t get into this business to literally generate likes in today’s Stratosphere you get into this business to pursue truth to edify and Elevate our society as a whole and make sure that when folks are uttering out of their mouth fake news fake news fake news you look at them and say no your ass is fake that’s what this is about that was just part of my speech that I gave last night again I was incredibly honored uh grateful to the Los Angeles Press Club grateful that I had an opportunity to meet the wonderful incomparable actress herself Jane Seymour who was there receiving an award herself along with various others um I don’t take that lightly I’m very thankful very grateful uh for being um recognized in that fashion for having my hard work throughout
