I'm right on time. Hey, it ain't going to always happen when you want it to happen. It's going to happen in the Lord's time. And this is something I feel like the Lord done put his hands on, man.

You're trying to throw the ball too hard. You're out there thinking you're a quarterback. I don't know if he's a pitcher or not. But I've done the first pitch, and it's farther than it looks. I was going to ask you if you did the first pitch. Yes, yes. And I got it right out there, Deebo. And you just need to get it there.

Chapter 6: How do the Steelers view Joe Burrow's potential departure?
Yes, the mound.
I'm throwing at least 40 pitches a day. You're standing up high. Going down. You got to come down to it. Yes. You got to come down on it. You got to come on. I'm trying to tell you. Listen. If you're not used to it, you're going to throw it into the dirt, and it's going to bounce before it gets to them, and then you'll be embarrassed.
I'm trying to ā that's why I'm going to go practice because I got to go out there and I got to sling that thing. Yeah. I got to put it straight down the middle. You know what I'm saying? You're going to do the whole thing. I'm going to let him know I'm going to throw that thing like low on the corner right there. Leg up. Curve ball. Maybe I give him with an inside-out curve.
You know what I'm saying? Like I got some nasty pitches that I've been thinking about in my head. I don't know if I can actually throw them, but I got some. I done seen them. Maybe a bird will come across like Randy Johnson and I just made it explode on the way to the mound. Let me tell you this. I played baseball for all of one month when I was in probably 12 years old.
Because I was football, basketball, and then my dad was like, yo, Jay, you know what? Because I was quarterback. He was like, you know what, son? You need to go ahead and play baseball. So they go put me on this all-star baseball team, okay? So I'm up there and I'm playing quarterback. So now they're like, oh, so you play quarterback. Oh, so you can pitch. I'm like, yeah, I could pitch.
So I'm in this joint Devo. I'm slinging it. Yeah. Letting it go. Then they bring up my boy. This dude, I don't remember his name, but he's probably in the major league baseball. He's probably in the baseball right now. This dude, 12 years old. He's in the home. He's the, he's the champion for the home. Was he, was he, was he, was he, uh, uh, A Dominican 12 or was he like 12? Dominican 12.
So he's probably 16. Okay.
He drove to practice.
That's all I'll tell you. He drove to practice. And I'm 12 years old. So Debo, I'm in the jungle being a pitcher. I throw, shoot, give him one. It was out of the zone. He didn't swing. Second pitch, I throw with everything I got. Bum! He smacks the ball. I think the ball goes over my head. I look. Quick. I look back. Wham! Ball hits me right in the side of my head, Deebo.

I want to see. We won 21 to 6, Deebo. I want to see. Okay, so what caliber team was that against? Okay, the team that we were playing against? Solid team. Better than the other team y'all got popped against? No, no, no, no. The other team that we got popped against, they played before we played yesterday. I was doing a little bit more scouting.

Live bullets.
Come on, man. You can't even block nobody, but it's live bullets. You can't even get in nobody's way, but it's live bullets going on out there. Live bullets. You can't impede the rusher, but it's live bullets going on out there. Well, my kids was doing the flag thing, you know, originally when they first started because I wouldn't let them play contact until I could see what was going on. Yeah.
So they're out there and I'm like, I'm like, yo, go block somebody. What y'all doing? They're like, we allowed to block. I'm like, what? You cannot block. I'm like... I'm like, what y'all doing? So originally they started, it was like, you could block, but you got to put your hands on your chest like this. And you can't like, that's how you could block.
So you got to shield, you got to basically like just shield people. And then that stopped. I don't know, like a week or something. I'm like, dude, what is this? I'm like, this ain't football, man.
