But it really, technical difficulties, I made it in the nick of time, my brother. You text me. I'm looking down on my phone, 15 seconds. When I come on, the music's going on. I'm like, oh, okay, they didn't wait for me. Debo was about to go without me. Hey, Joe, you know, hey, listen, Joe. The show must go on. Hey, we can't stop no show. Listen, man, it's Deebo and Joe. And when Deebo ain't there, it gon' be Joe. When Joe ain't there, it gon' be Deebo. The show got to go on now. Deebo ain't gon' never show, you know.

4:55James Harrison:Whoa, man. Deebo, you know we just talked before the show. We talked about 10 minutes before we was chopping it up. I'm like, okay, yeah. I go to my setup, Wi-Fi. I'm like this, oh, no. Oh, no, Wi-Fi. Is that Reese? Yeah, but I'm good to go now. I'm good to go now. I'm good to go now, D-Bo. I'm back. I'm back. Wi-Fi set up. I made it. I'm here. For sure. Can I hear you? You hear me? I got you. I'm 100. I'm trying to see if we go get some more background chatter from the peanut gallery or something. You know what I'm saying? The good homie Reese was out there cooling. I was like, oh, yeah, she's in the room.

5:41James Harrison:Brother. Brother. So I'm here. I'm here. Yes, sir. Look here, man. Look here. Oh, Giannis. Hey, you say his last name because I don't want to chop up his last name. Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo. It ain't nothing about the braces. I was going to tear that motherfucker up. I was going to be like Antetokounmpo. I was going to tear that apart, baby. They traded my guy over there. They got him up out of Milwaukee. Gave him to the... Yes. Well, they ain't giving. They ain't just giving to Miami. They ain't just giving him. Yeah. Yeah, Miami went on ahead and said, we go send you half the squad, and then you go give us Giannis, and we go roll on through.

6:20James Harrison:Plus, y 'all give us, what is it, three first and a second, and then they got a swap of another one. But that really don't matter, Joe. This right here, who do you think won? Who do you think won? Who do you think won in the trade? Miami or Milwaukee? Who do you think won? I'm going to go with Milwaukee. I'm going to go with Milwaukee. I'm a fan of Giannis, but at the end of the day, I have to see what the rest that they're going to do. Right now, they don't have no squad. It's him. It's Bam. You know what I'm saying? And I think that's about it. That's all they got. So I think that they're going to have to get some more pieces.

7:00James Harrison:They got draft picks. They got a lot of stuff. So, I mean, I don't know what they're going to have to do. Milwaukee, for the future. I think they plan way better for being able to get a lot of picks. Tyler Hero, the players that they got, is going to be really good for them. So I think they were going more for the future, and Miami's going for now. But I think with them, they still need to get like a point guard. They still need to get some more scorers. Because Giannis and Bam, those are big bodies, you know what I'm saying, going to take up the paint, but they need more shooters. Yeah, I understand that.

7:30James Harrison:But they got a – who was that over there? What's the dude's name? What's the other two? Well, it's two. Maybe two or... It's two other cats over there. I can't even think of their name right now, to be honest with you, bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They got Powell or something in Wiggins. Bam out of Bayou. My man Bam, they dropped 80. They got Wiggins too, right? Yeah, they got Wiggins too. They got Wiggins too. Bro, what you talking about? They got Wiggins. And they got Norman Powell. Norman Powell's a good score. Bro, come on. I just said Powell, bro. Come on. You over there making like they ain't getting nothing, bro.

8:06James Harrison:Like, stop playing. Like, this right here, this move right here. For me, to be able to call a, like, a winner, I got to have an obvious loser. And I feel like right now, it's not an obvious loser. Okay. I think this is going to be something that's going to be told in the future. Now, if they get over there and Giannis get over there in Miami and everything that this man that done gave up, the source, who was this, Kevin O 'Connell, sources say, Bucs owner. Jim Haslam. You know who Jimmy Haslam is, right? Yes, sir. They said he was the driving force in taking the heat deal for Giannis over Boston's offer.

8:50James Harrison:I guess they had an offer from Boston for, what's his name? Haslam didn't want to risk Jalen Brown wanting out of Milwaukee in a year after dealing with Giannis and Miles Garrett trade demands. Hasn't wanted certainty. And the Miami deal proved more of that with more total assets in return to Milwaukee. Bruh, if he get over there and Giannis get them a trophy, they get them a championship, that was a good trade. That's a good trade. They won. They won. You were still, again, like they said, Milwaukee, they done said, you know what, we're going to start over from scratch. we're going to go but when you're going to start from scratch you'll give us a starter package oh for sure Tyler Hero with the baller Tyler Hero right you're going to give us a starter package and then on top of that you'll give us three first you'll give us one this year in 26 and then you're going to give us one in 31 and 33 and then a second in 33 and they got to swap in 30 so that really don't matter like like yo I'm playing for right now to get this going but if they don't get it going and they don't get that championship that's a loss and it's a loss That's what I'm saying.

10:03If they go and they build that thing up and they go ahead and now they can go in four or five years or something,

10:14James Harrison:they're back in the fray, five, six years, they get them one, it's a win for them. It could be two winners in this situation. 1 ,000 percent because both teams, Debo, are in different situations. Like you said, the Miami Heat right now, when they go get Giannis, they're trying to win this season. They're trying to bring the championship. They're trying to contend. The Milwaukee Bucks is like, look, we had Giannis all these times. We won a ship. That's about as high as it's going to be. He don't want to be here. He's a little flustered. Let's get him up out of there, get him in a different situation, and at the same time, try to still get players back and a haul for the future.

10:52James Harrison:So you're right. We'll know how good this trade is off rip this season. For Miami. We're going to know for Miami in the next year. For Miami this season. In the next couple years, we're going to know what the Bucs are looking like from the picks that they started to get and what Tyler Hero and that squad look like. So I feel you. It's not an instant. You can't tell off the rip because we're going to have to play out what Giannis ends up doing this year. And then with those draft picks and what Tyler Hero turns into, it's going to take a little more time for us to see what develops with that. So, no, I love it.

11:23James Harrison:I get you. We got the bets, how it went. Right now, man, we got the ball out. Let's see what it looks like. Got time for my walk. Yeah, you got time. Well, every player they trade, the four players, what was it, 20 to 25? Like, they got picks coming. They got the 13th this year coming. And they got another two, like I said, in 31-33. Like, they're building for the future. They hoping that, you know, that four to six time frame, they go grab them one game. You understand? They don't put all that stuff together. They able to take the picks that they acquired in that and get the right people in the position to go out there and do the damn thing, Joe.

12:00James Harrison:Yes, sir. Yes, sir. It's going to be good. It finally happened because Giannis was about where he had to get up out of there. It was going to be. Do you think that this do you think this one was better than the Boston trade with Jalen Brown? Well, considering what you don't know if he was going to be. considering what Milwaukee was like, yo, we just go, we go start from scratch. Cause I don't think that trade of the one for one for that. I don't think that does anything for him. I think it still keeps him where they at. They were still going to get some picks though. I think it would have been Jalen and maybe, maybe, I know for sure a first round pick.

12:33James Harrison:Yeah, but you ain't got, listen, they got a whole, they got a whole starter pack, bro. Yeah, I feel you. If you want to start fresh, fresh. You got people that, like you said, you got people that you know can do a little something. And then you got guys that they obviously picked up they thought would be able to develop, but they ain't even given the time to develop. They're like, yo, we want to win right now. We ain't trying to wait. Here, give us Giannis. Y 'all take all this. We go move. Y 'all go move. Everybody get what they want. And hopefully it'll be a deal. It'll be a good deal for both of them.

13:03James Harrison:We're going to see what it looks like. You know they got to see. I hate New York. Yeah. They got to see New York. Dude. They got to see New York. That's what we said. They got to see New York. They got to see Boston. I don't hate New York. I hate the fans, bro. That's what it is. And hold on. Look, Giannis didn't go to my calves. So we didn't feel like we had. Uh-oh, Joe Wi-Fi cutting out. Yeah, the boy got that trash Wi-Fi, man. He wasn't lying to you, man. The boy, listen, he got all that money over there in that big house, and he can't even keep up with the Wi-Fi. Boy got cars, boy got, he got everything.

When it comes to arm talent, Tom Brady says no one has done it like Aaron Rodgers. He said, I think there's no greater passer of the football than Aaron Rodgers. There are certain people you see everyone do it. And then you see one person throw the ball that much better. Aaron was incredible. Was incredible. It's hard to put into words how incredible he passes the ball. The way it comes out of his hand, the way it spins and delivers with pace and accuracy.

19:17James Harrison:There's only probably three people in the history of the NFL that could do it like him. Incredible. My man said it's incredible. He did say it was, though. I know a lot of people was trying to press on the was, and it's a very logical reason why he said was. And the reason man said was, is because if you actually go and look at where he said it and don't just take it from this article, because what they did in the end of it was they hit with the, then the article said something like, Brady says it like Aaron Rodgers still isn't, isn't still playing. Nah, Aaron's still playing. Like, you know what I'm saying?

20:16James Harrison:He's still playing. He said was because if you go and look at what he actually said, instead of just reading the article and letting him bait you into believing some BS, the whole story is he said Aaron in his prime to me. in his prime to me is the greatest passer of the football the NFL has ever seen. Okay? He can get the ball from point A to point B faster and more accurate than any other player I think in the history of the NFL, end quote. That's what he said. That's what he said, okay? Now, what we go do here is take it for exactly what it is in his prime yes in his prime he was okay brady is 100 true in his statement because erin rogers in his prime was incredible he's not saying he's not incredible he's just saying like in his prime like in his prime he could do that weekend week out play in play out hell i saw it firsthand in the super bowl that boy was threading balls with laser precision i mean just missing the ball by you know fingertip you know you're talking about an inch or two you're just missing the ball from from getting there and that's the difference between you know a touchdown and a first down or whatever it may be like i i seen it firsthand and right now he's not in his prime like that's just that's just what it is you know he can still do it but it's not as consistently you know what i'm saying the ball is moving a little slower it doesn't it don't have the same pace you got guys that are able to get to the ball they're able to touch it now they're able to get a fingertip you know on it here and there and that's that intro to where the pace of the ball isn't exactly what it was.

22:25James Harrison:Okay? So, like, stop trying to create a little bit of drama. Like, trying to make it seem like he ain't playing no more. He's still playing. You got the GOAT of quarterbacks telling you right now, like, this man's arm, listen to what he said. Basically, this man's arm is a gift from heaven. Joe! This man's arm is a gift from heaven, Joe. Because it is. You understand what I'm saying, Joe? Because it is. Because it is. Now, like I said, they up here trying to add some salt to the game and all that other stuff, man. You can't do that, brother. You can't add no salt to the game. What do you mean?

23:06James Harrison:The article that I'm speaking of where John Brady was talking about Aaron Rodgers, he said the word was incredible. And the article then proceeded to say that. Why did he basically say was? you know, like Brady isn't still, you know, playing. I mean, sorry, like Rodgers is still playing. So he said Brady said it as if Rodgers isn't still playing. See, that was just a little, he's trying to cause a little clout, get a little something known there, you know what I'm saying? But if you go and you actually look at what he said, he prefaced this with in his prime. Yes. You know, his whole quote was, Aaron, in his prime, to me, is the greatest passer of the football the league has ever seen.

23:50James Harrison:Yes. He said he could get the ball from point A to point B faster and more accurate than any other player, I think, in NFL history. End quote. That's what he said. So, yes, he was. Yeah. Listen, you see this shirt right here? Yes. Father Time. Undefeated, bro. Undefeated. He is undefeated. And that's a fact. Father Time is going to catch up with all of us. Yes. I don't give a damn who you are. Okay? Yes. He ain't never lost. never never lost now you could put up a hell of a fight i gave him a hell of a fight joe you put up a fight uncle tom put up a fight and lebron james lebron james is putting up a hell of a fight right now fighting fighting for your life fighting for your life coming he's coming coming yes aaron rogers was a incredible passer of the ball aaron rogers still is a incredible passer of the ball at times now it's just not as consistent it's not as fast you got guys that can get a fingertip on where before I was saying you get you miss on that on touching that ball by an inch or two because he got that zip still he got that drive he got that accuracy it's going to be what it's going to be this man is the highest uh he has the highest passer rating in NFL history like point blank and touchdown what oh man he doesn't go 527 and 123 yes what we talking about Joe what they talking about, Joe?

25:15James Harrison:This is what I'm going to tell you. Tom Brady is a smart man because at the end of the day, Debo, when we first started playing football, when I came into the league, it was Tom Brady, it was no matter of fact, it wasn't Tom Brady. It was Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers. These were the three quarterbacks that everybody looked at. Peyton Manning, in my opinion, was the best just because he just couldn't get it done in the playoffs. Somehow, Tom Brady will always end up beating him in the playoffs and Peyton Manning couldn't get to the Super Bowl. But from my eye test, I was watching Peyton Manning.

25:49James Harrison:I'm like, he is an amazing quarterback with the timing, his footwork, his mechanics. When I just watched Aaron Rodgers with my eye test, I thought he was the best thrower of the football that I've ever seen. When I would watch him, just the way he, just the trajectory, he could throw a fade ball and it would be at a level like a dart, back shoulder. He could just put it in places where like, that's just unbelievable. Arm angles, just putting the ball where you can't make it. You can't. He's placing it there. He's placing it there. I know he didn't just catch that damn ball. I know he didn't catch that ball on me.

26:21James Harrison:How the hell did he miss that? Joe, damn, what you doing, Joe? I'm covering. How you hand missed that ball? I'm telling you, it happened to me. My first game, preseason game, we played the Packers in Lambeau Field, my first game ever for the Browns. And he went 12 for 12 on us with Jordy. He had Jordy Nelson. They were going crazy on us. Donald Driver, all of them just running routes. He was putting the ball on a perfect position. I'm like, good defense. Better throw, better catch. Okay, line it back up. You know what I'm saying? So for me, when he's saying it, when people get to the championships and you start saying now, all right, Tom Brady, you won more ships.

26:55James Harrison:But for my eye test, when you see 500 and some touchdowns to 100 and some interceptions, it's a team game. But you can't tell me individually when you have Peyton Manning, you have Tom Brady, you have Aaron Rodgers. For me and hearing it from Tom Brady too, I'm watching a game. You can say Tom Brady won the Super Bowl, won more championships. Peyton Manning, you might have higher passing yards. But if you individually take a player, and I say Aaron Rodgers, I like his arm, the way he throws the ball. He can do anything. He can do anything with the ball that Tom Brady, Peyton Manning can do. Maybe not the same system and team.
