The Single Dumbest Thing Ever Said About the Miami Heat | Hour 2

It’s Episode 85—or as Chad himself would call it, the Ochocinco show. NFL analyst Ross Tucker stops by to explain why Chad Johnson is criminally underappreciated, while also breaking down why Matthew Stafford deserves way more respect. Then, Tony Calatayud explains why Brock Purdy has been an absolute nightmare for opposing defenses since day one.

Finally, we head south to Brazil, where the Ravens and Cowboys better check their footwear before stepping onto the wildly questionable turf at the Maracanã. Learn more about your ad choices.
