REShow: Marlon Humphrey - Hour 1

I just learned Discover credit cards do something pretty awesome. At the end of your first year, they automatically double all the cashback you've earned. That's right, everything you've earned doubled all the cashback from eating at your favorite soup dumpling restaurant. Doubled all the cashback from that trip where you sort of learned to snowboard. Also doubled. And the best part, you don't have to do anything ridiculous to get it. Nope, Discover does it automatically.

Seriously, though, see terms and check it out for yourself at discover.com slash match. This is The Rich Eisen Show with guest host Kirk Morrison. Let's start this program with Wyndham Clark's mother before she passed had a mantra of play big Wyndham Clark has played bigger than the biggest names of the game live from The Rich Eisen Show studio in Los Angeles. Today's guest Raven safety Marlon Humphrey golf and college football writer for the athletic Brody Miller Titans defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons. And now sitting in for rich.

It's Kirk Morrison. All right. All right. Welcome in. Welcome in everybody.

First of all, let's start this off right. Happy Father's Day. Happy Father's Day weekend. As always, happy Juneteenth as well to everyone out there listening.

So great to be here as always rich out today. I step in and so I'm excited. I'm still on this euphoric high of the US Open. Okay, I was at the US Open all weekend long. And you guys know this, right?

Brockman, Del Tufo, TJ. I'm excited to be here. So I still want to dress the part because it was really for me this weekend.

It was these past four days. I should say it's finding the right polo. Okay, get the right shirt. You got to have the right shirt for the US Open, especially with the cloud coverage in Los Angeles.

You didn't want to be too hot and overly hot. I got a couple pictures I'll show throughout the show about my attire for the weekend. So just happy to be here with you guys as always. I have my top 10 takes from the US Open. I will be getting to those in the second hour. We mentioned already Howard Beck. We're going to talk some NBA. We got to talk about the US Open and I got a couple. My first in studio guests. All right, for the Rich Eisen show. I've always done a lot of phoners and we have an in studio guests. Marlon Humphrey will be joining us in about 25 minutes.

I can't wait to talk to him, the Ravens cornerback. But I kind of want to start here. I want to start in the when it comes to big events. I try not to have the the humble brag. It's hard.

It really is hard, but you're about to when everybody starts off the conversation with the humble brag. You like, oh, man, here we go. I don't want to stun on y'all because I'm not stunning. I'm about to stun on you.

But for me. I love being at the big event, the ones that mean the most, the ones that mean win or go home, the one and done, because those are the most important events, because you can feel the intensity. The air is different.

The people walking is different. The players, the way they warm up, the way they talk, everything is always different. Earlier this year, it started off my 2023 with the national championship, Georgia versus TCU. Now, that one was kind of over in the first five minutes. It was. I was there, too. It was over early, right?

It's like, oh, man, here we go. But you saw the trophy, right? The national champion trophy get hoisted by the Georgia Bulldogs. The next event coming up, obviously for me, was the Super Bowl, the big event in Phoenix. We saw Super Bowl 57 and the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes. They go out, they win a Super Bowl, the second Super Bowl in the Patrick Mahomes era of Kansas City Chiefs football. And then for me, I was lucky enough to have my alma mater play in the Final Four, San Diego State.

So my first Final Four, check that one off the box, check, played a national championship, didn't win. But the experience, the experience of being in the moment, the big stage, because I love being there. And if you can't be there, you're going to watch. But this past weekend, the stage was set. It was the United States Open, the 123rd version of the United States Open. And it was right here in Los Angeles. So for me, I was so excited. Have you ever had to hide excitement?

Because some people around me just didn't understand it. Honestly, my wife is like, so what is this golf tournament that everybody keeps talking about? It's just, it's just not a golf tournament. It's just not a golf tournament. It's like the second biggest tournament of the year. This is like the Super Bowl of golf.

Yeah. Masters One, US Open Two. This is the golf national championship.

That's what I'm talking about. The championship. That's why it's called the US Open.

It is open to every golfer in the US if you can qualify. And so it was a four day event. And I went every single day. I went every single, I got my steps in. I went Thursday.

I went Friday. Here's a picture of me yesterday on the 18th green before the chaos started, right before the clubhouse. And I took a picture right there on the 18th green. See how the it's the grass is now brown.

It was green on Thursday. But all the people walking through on 18 yesterday, especially with the big final putt from Wyndham Clark, the winner of the 123rd US Open. It was a fun experience.

But again, the tensest moments. And I've been to US Opens before. This is my third one I've been to.

I saw Jon Rahm a couple years ago down in San Diego, Torrey Pines. So I remember taking my dad to back in 2009 with Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate. Still one of the ones.

Oh, my God, I missed that one. That was the one that the one that got away because everyone had to leave on that Sunday. And if you had a ticket to Sunday, you get to go on Monday to the playoff. So I gave my tickets to my buddy and he was like, I walked 18 holes with Tiger Woods, like literally because no one was really there because everyone had to leave.

So that's a bad memory of mine. But I was there. I did go. But this one was different because you're listening to what's going on. I had an earpiece in, so I'm listening to the broadcast and then I'm watching what's going on and you hear the roars of the crowd and you're like, oh, this guy may he may bogey here or he may birdie here.

So you're listening and watching it all play out in real time. And you got fans. And yesterday I was just a fan. I wasn't an analyst.

I wasn't a broadcaster, wasn't the former. I was just a fan amongst the people. And on 18th, the 18th green yesterday, I was part of those fans that when they got up to the green, we all charged up.

And I sat there and watched the final shots from Wyndham Clark, really right in front. And it was one of those cool moments as just a fan. And I think we forget about that sometimes because we're so caught up in our own teams, right? This past week or the previous week, there were two fan bases that got really excited, right? The Denver Nuggets, they won their first NBA championship since the merger in the NBA, not the ABA title, but the NBA titles of the Denver Nuggets. That's a fan base that was excited. Their team won.

So you have a rooting interest. The Las Vegas Golden Knights. Yes, you're a Stanley Cup final.

They're Stanley Cup champions. So the people in Vegas, they got a championship. But the one thing about golf, and maybe I'm not trying to put my golf fandom on people today, but it's not about the team.

It's just a watching individuals go out there and perform. And to me, the guy who no one truly picked came out on top. It was about Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. I mean, I did have a rooting interest pulling for my San Diego State Aztec for Life, Xander Shoffley. But when I saw that shirt that he wore on Sunday, I just knew we didn't have a chance.

I totally went with you on that shirt. I'm like, Xander, what are we doing, buddy? But seeing Rickie Fowler.

Those are the stories that you pull for. You want Rickie Fowler in California. And it just didn't work out. I mean, think about even Max Homer. All week was Max Homer. He's from Los Angeles. He's from here. He has the course record LACC, which he did back in 2013.

The Pac-12 tournament had their championship there. And he shot a 61. Oh, is this going to be Max?

Finally. He struggled in majors. Can he break through? Nope. Didn't make the cut. Yeah, he was on the couch on Friday.

He sure was. That's tough. But for me, and I'm speaking just for me, this was something that I focused on all week, and nothing truly else matters. Because I did get the alerts on Friday, early Friday morning. I'm getting these alerts on my phone, and I got to talk to the NBA because the NBA, they don't really understand how to do a news dump.

Right? You know what time a news dump starts, by the way? You know what a news dump is, is when you have some news, and you get it out there, and you hopefully people see it, but they don't really talk about it, and you kind of forget about it. 4.30 Eastern on Friday.

4.30 Eastern on Friday. That's the news dump. That was the news dump. So we all knew going into it, hey, you had the big US Open. People are going to be talking about the Open, and who makes the cut and misses the cut.

But yet, Friday morning early, I get a text on the phone, alert, boom. Ja Morant suspended 25 games. I'm like, uh, we're not surprised. We knew it was coming. I think it was, we thought it was going to be more. We thought it was going to be maybe half a season.

Ja Morant suspended 25 games. To me, are we truly surprised? We knew it was coming.

Like, okay. That was probably like the funniest thing was that everybody was watching the Denver Nuggets win a NBA Finals, win their Larry O'Brien, the NBA Final, winning the Larry O'Brien-Brien Trophy, and yet everybody's still on Twitter. Okay, Mike Silver, Adam Silver, could you please let us know about Ja Morant? Nobody really, I've never seen someone get, that couldn't wait for a suspension to be handed down on a player because that was just what was interesting.

The Denver Nuggets were the best team, and we saw that, but yet it was Ja Morant and his suspension for 25 games under stipulations, right? What are the stipulations, right? He's got to do what? He's got to go to this course. He's got to do that.

But eventually I always said, I would love to see what the ratings look like at that time. I think the stipulations, he'll probably meet them because he may, you know how the NBA is. That first early part of the season, you kind of struggle when you're going up against the big NFL or college football. So the return of Ja Morant after 25 games, I can see it.

I can see the 25 games spent on, at home, suspended, what he's learned. Let's tune in this Sunday, game of the week, or Saturday night game of the week, or Thursday night, TNT? Yeah, we'll probably have a Thursday night. What game does Ja come back for?

That'd be the question. What is the 26th game? We determined it was like December the 7th, somewhere around there. Yeah, first week, second week of December.

Okay, right after Thanksgiving, right after... The TNT does Tuesday during the fall. Yes. Because they don't want to compete with Thursday night football.

Correct. That they do Tuesday night. So he'll be back on a Tuesday night, probably Grizzlies-Lakers, I'm guessing. Probably here in LA.

Here in LA. So Shannon Sharpe will be courtside. Chris Paul, new point guard for the Lakers. Oh, here you go. You go into that. Take it on.

Ja Morant. I mean, think about it. Friday, I get all this NBA news, right? I'm telling my buddies, this is the news dump, but the news dump is actually way too early. You had the Ja Morant news, and all of a sudden Michael Jordan's selling his majority stake in the New Orleans Hornets. I'm sorry, the Charlotte Hornets. Look, I got Zion Williamson on my mind, too, as well, with the Pelicans, where he's trying to go from New Orleans to possibly Charlotte, so he could be technically a New Orleans Pelicans Hornet Charlotte. Yeah, it's a lot over the last couple of days, Zion.

Anyway, so you got not only that. And then Mike Dunleavy Jr. takes over as the general manager of my Golden State Warriors. That's on my Friday, but it was one of those things where you saw it and you put it down.

I went right back to my golf. And I think the NBA, we're going to figure out how to get you a better news dump. OK, we're going to work this thing out, NBA. We're going to work it out because that just I saw it, put it down. It's like, all right, we'll see you on Monday. I got better things to do, NBA.

So but better things to do, by the way. This is a guest coming up, Marlon Humphrey, first time having a guest in studio. I'm excited because I got so much to talk to the Ravens cornerback, Marlon Humphrey. Not necessarily even about football. Just talk about life. Just talk about how does Marlon Humphrey wake up and be great every single day?

So we're going to get to that coming up next right here on the Rich Eisen Show with Kirk Morrison filling in for Rich. The average on farm income in the United States was a loss of eleven hundred dollars. Sixty percent of U.S. pork comes from one company wholly owned by the Chinese, and farmers are more likely to commit suicide than veterans.

Today, Rolling Stone music now takes over in podcast form. Songwriter and producer Jamie Hartman reacts to the Ed Sheeran verdict. You need to create something new.

And of course, you're going to use traditional parts to get there. Are you going to sue the Rolling Stones for making a samba out of sympathy for the devil? Are you going to sue Elvis Presley for writing bars?

No, but it's like saying you're not allowed to use a pencil to create a piece of art. Rolling Stone music now wherever you listen. So Father's Day comes and everyone's like, what kind of gifts did you get? What kind of gifts did you get?

For me, I just like golf stuff. Right. You know, I've made a nice little breakfast. And so I was thinking about other gifts that you see other dads get. And so I saw your former head coach, your college head coach, Nick Saban, got a got a new Father's Day gift. And so he's trying it out.

Tell me, what do you think about this? Nick Saban got a VR for Father's Day. First of all, he got to put his hands up, though, right the right way.

He does have to put his hands up a little bit. Oh, we got a jab. Look at that jab. Jab.

I've never seen him. Wow. What is happening? Was that a backhand? He's got some coordination going on there, though. I can't believe it.

Yes. Can you believe that Nick Saban? This is actually surprising to see, actually. Why is it surprising?

Tell us, why is it surprising? You don't really get to see this side of Coach Saban too often of him playing around with anything other than coaching. But he does love his kids, so I can see that. Probably the grandkids and all that. So the grandkids got him, I would imagine. Do you think that you probably rubbed off on him a little bit?

Maybe. He probably wanted to fight me a lot when I was there, so maybe he's getting the aftermath down the line. That's funny. But just seeing your old coach there, you mentioned he's the influence on you.

What is it? One thing that you took away from Nick Saban in college? What I took away from him was he just, no matter what really happened, you know, whether a player made you mad, whether you did wrong, whether he seemed like he hated you, the next day it was like a completely clean slate. And, you know, for me, like I said, you know, I read a shirt in my first year.

There's a lot of yelling. But, you know, every day I came in, you know, as a kid, you want to be like, that was personal, but it never really was to me. And so I took away that just coming in a new day. And then, honestly, the other crazy thing was he was just like sometimes just robot mind. Like it was just when he was in work, it was the craziest thing.

I remember we had our freshman day. We all were at the lake having a good time. Twenty four hours later, he's yelling at you like you didn't just have a good time and then you go to Rich House for Thanksgiving. He's all the happiest guy. But when he's at work, he's there to work.

And when he's off, he's completely off. So that's what I took from him. Really great guy.

Good. That's Marlon Humphrey, Ravens cornerback joining the Rich Eisen Show. Kirk Morrison here filling in for Rich. And Marlon, you're the OG now. Can you like think about this for people out there listening, always say the OG, meaning the old guy in the room, right, is the guy who's been in the league probably six years plus in that meeting room.

You're going on year seven. Do you feel like you're the the old guy now, Marlon? Yeah, I am the old guy now. It's weird to bring up guys, bring up stories. And then as you start talking, you start reading everybody's faces and you're realizing nobody was here when those guys were here except me.

So being the OG is weird. No one's called me an old head yet. You know, I used to call Kalei's old head, you know, all these other guys, you know, so no one's called me the old head yet. So maybe they still see me as a young guy. But, you know, nowadays, you know, I'd be sore from a little bitty that I'd be sore from a walkthrough. But being an old head is, you know, a testament to hard work. You know, I know the average is like three or four years.

So I'm trying to, you know, keep it going. But being the OG is weird, but I'm enjoying it. Yeah, drafted number 16 overall back in 2017 by the Ravens. Who was that player for you when you first got into that NFL locker room?

Who was the player that you gravitated to to say, hey, either show me the way or I'm going to follow that person's lead? It's probably a combination of Brandon Carr and Eric Weddle. Weddle sat next to me in meetings and, you know, it was never, he used to tell me to stop smacking on sunflower seeds, which I didn't even know was possible.

But Eric Weddle was definitely the smartest guy in the room when I was there. But then Brandon Carr was like, you know, it was crazy. I remember sitting in the sauna with Brandon Carr and he's like, you know, you're here to just usher me on my way out of the league. And I'm like, I'm like, remember being like, you're starting, I'm coming, I'm second string. But it was just crazy to hear that because, you know, this is definitely a young man's game, so you can try to go as long as you can. But, you know, hearing that and him actually helping me become a better player was really big. So Brandon Carr and Eric Weddle are probably my two guys. I mean, you're a multi-time pro bowler in national football.

He's one of the best corners in the National Football League. And we had a conversation earlier, me and the guys, because I redshirted when I first got to college. And I said that was the best thing for me. Now guys come in and it's like, they got to play right away.

And if they don't play, they're heading into the transfer portal. For you, you mentioned a little bit earlier that you redshirted. What was about you redshirting? What was the best thing?

Was that the best thing for you? And how did that help you get ready to go out there the following year and be a starter? For me, redshirting was by far the best. I think I saw the most growth in my game, for sure, my redshirt freshman year. Is that a negative to redshirt in Alabama? Oh, in Alabama it's very common. No one ever told me I was redshirting. That was the only weird thing. Every week.

How does that, what do they do? Honestly? How does Nick Saban let you know? Does he bring you into the office? I don't know how he lets everyone else know, but I know everyone else knew except me. And we were playing Texas A&M. We were up 42-0 and the starters were still in. And so out of nowhere all the freshman guys were like, yo coach just told me I'm going in. And I'm like, coach didn't tell me anything. So that's kind of when I realized I was redshirting.

But I ain't going to lie, I was pretty hurt. My first game, special team coach tells me I'm going to get you some reps out there at Gunner on punt. And every time he brought the punt team up I came and I looked at his eyes and he just looked at me in the eyes and just looked away. I'm like, I did that all the way until the end.

And I was kind of like, man I don't, he said I was going to play but I didn't play. So it was two situations, the special teams and the 42-0 that I realized I was going to redshirt. But for me it was a big growth. I was able to go to the scout team, cover Mark Cooper every day. Those were some long days but you know, luckily I was on the scout so I wasn't really supposed to be guarding him that well. But Mark Cooper single-handedly made me a lot better press man corner. I mean obviously he was up for the Heisman I think that year. But he was a very tough guard so I got a lot of growth. Ravens All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey joining the Rich Eisen Show.

Kirk Boorstin here filling in for Rich. So you win a national championship in college, right? You get drafted first round in the National Football League from Alabama. Is there an added pressure to you coming from the university that you came from that you got to go in and produce right away? Do guys from Alabama feel that?

I'm not sure. I know for me, even scouts and coaches at the combine, that was back when it seemed like a lot of Alabama players were getting to the league and not having this same success. So we had a couple corners, couple safeties that didn't make that transition well and that's stuff they were saying to me at the combine. They were like, so what about, you know, Alabama guys don't do well when they come to the NFL.

And I'm like, I don't know what that has to do with me. I felt like I did have something to prove not only for myself but for Alabama prospects coming out. And then you look at it, Eddie Jackson gets a Pro Bowl, Minka Fitzpatrick, Pro Bowl. I get a Pro Bowl. All these guys that I played with, I felt like we all kind of had a small chip on our shoulder because the guys in the past hadn't performed the best. So for me, I definitely felt like I had to erase that kind of thought process that that was even a factor.

So maybe, I know it was for me. So you've established yourself in the NFL. You've been able to go out and show and prove that you're one of the best players in the league. And so when you get to these OTAs and minicamps, we just talked about it, the Ravens just finished their offseason and you get a little downtime for you.

How does Marlon Humphrey spend his downtime? I've been around you a little bit and you seem to be the most laid back, super chill, just ordinary dude that's just, you know what, I'm just going to enjoy my time. I'm going to relax. Football is not on my mind. I like to look at the offseason as, so you got to get to work on it. So that's like the only mandatory thing. After that, I like to just see myself as not even a football player. So my girlfriend, we actually just got scuba certified, so I'm going scuba diving soon.

I'm getting into the golf game. Okay. That's a very humbling game. Yes. I just, I didn't plan on, but I went to a football camp and they had dogs, so I just bought a Rottweiler. I mean, football camp and dogs, that was very rare.

Maybe, I don't know if that's a Cali thing or what. What's the dog's name? I wanted to name him Rambo. Rambo. She wanted to name him Jet. Rambo and Jet. So his name is Jet.

Basically. I wanted Rambo and Jet, so Jet it is. Why didn't you just name it Aaron Rodgers?

Like, what are we doing? Honestly, he's an AFC now, you know, maybe. But, I wanted to name him, I don't know if the Ravens have to be mad at me, there's no S on the Jet. Just Jet. Just Jet. Just Jet. You know, I got my farm back home.

There's a lot of things, honestly, that I like to just randomly, you know, fall off into things. What's the day-to-day on the farm? When you get back? The day-to-day on the farm, I'm actually, I want to build a par 3. On the farm. I want to build a par 3.

I got 229 acres in Alabama. Okay. I got an idea for a par 3. I just don't want to hit too many balls in my little pond right there.

That's the only problem. I want to put it over a pond. I'm not the best golfer. So, I got work to do there. I got a family reunion at the farm around July 4th that weekend. I got a lot planned. So, that's why I work out. I like to be working out at 6.30. Okay.

Get that out of the way, and then the rest of the day is full of fun. So, does Marlon like the workout videotaped? Do you like to put it out to social media?

There's a lot of guys who like to be videotaped and show everybody, hey, this is what I'm doing. You know the fans eat it up. Oh, my God. Look at Marlon. He's locked in. Oh, my God. Year 7 comeback season.

Here come the Ravens. I know for me, when I played in the league, I didn't want to be taped. I didn't want to have all the workouts and all that. I like to be private. When it was go time, workout, do your thing, but it was more of me being in my zone.

How is it for you? Well, I don't have a coach. I'm usually by myself. So I don't really have the, I do like a session here with somebody every like once in a while, but sometimes I'm not really a big fan of, you kind of, when you know you're on camera, you do operate a little different work when you're working out, I feel like. When you're playing a game, you're just playing football. But you're working out, you're doing a lot, maybe editing, you know, you see the guy.

I just don't really want to see you, honestly. Right. You know, you get kind of used to it when you work out with other guys.

And I will say, it does look cool. Those videos do look pretty cool when you think they're about to go, about why receiver's going to have 200, 2K yards, 2,000 yards, and then they have 200 yards in the season and it's just not the same. But I am a more of a get it in by yourself.

I kind of like the single grind. Right. It is sometimes a little easier to work out when you're working out with somebody and got the cameras and all the flash. So I'm either or, but I definitely usually work out by myself. I'm always intrigued by what's going on in that mind of Marlon Humphrey. When do you get a chance to tweet or sit back and put out a tweet? Because I feel like you've had some tweets of recent and if you want to follow him, you go to at Marlon as well on IG. I've had a lot of tweets lately.

Yeah. So when it comes to tweeting, it's a lot of random things that probably just go through your mind. And I'm glad that you expressed that because we get a chance to learn that it's just not all football all the time. People think that NFL player, you wake up, football, you go to sleep, football, football, football. But you've had some tweets of recently that I just want to just go over with you a little bit. Nothing crazy. But can we bring up a couple of the tweets here?

Where do I go? Who do I tweet? Here's one tweet from at Marlon underscore Humphrey. That's a good question. 100 humans versus one gorilla. Who wins? This was actually at the facility I brought this up.

You brought this up? The gorilla wins. Yeah, we all said the gorilla wins. So this is when people always think that the NFL locker rooms are serious and guys are about football. Yet you're in the lounge and we're talking about can 100 humans be the gorilla? Yeah, we were, yeah, this was at the cafeteria table.

And I'm like, guys, what do we think here? And then we have a fairly larger guy on our team. Right. Filet-A-Lay, Godzilla. Uh-huh. Call him different names.

Five of my two years. So he's like, I think he's around 400 pounds. And we were saying if you got 100, 400, and you have 100 of him, you probably got a good chance of taking the gorilla down. But there still has to be a couple Filet-A-Lays to get knocked out before even. So there's a chance with that one. There was a lot of thought.

More thought on that one. Now is it 100 on one or is the gorilla just fighting one on one but 100 straight times? No, he's 100 people.

But you got to have 100 people that don't care about their well-being. So it's like the 300 almost, but 100. Like the movie 300. Yes. It's like come in as a...

It is exactly like that. But we just, we're all thinking, man, one punch to that gorilla to here is probably... That's a blow. That's a death blow. More on the Marlon Humphrey tweets because... The gorilla's the betting favorite on that one.

Yeah, I'm taking the gorilla. But we got more tweets coming up here. Aaron Rodgers, he seems like he would just wake up one day and decide he's going to drop everything and be an astronaut. What, I mean, how do you come up with this assessment of Aaron Rodgers?

How does this just come about? I don't know Aaron Rodgers. Right. But based off what I see, he seems like he's similar to me in the aspect of random things comes on his mind. Okay. Like he just seems like a very free soul.

Right. And he just, like, I don't know. I mean, he went, I know he did a little dark cave thing apparently. Yeah, would you go on a darkness retreat? I see, I don't know.

I'm not sure what the benefit is, but I don't, I kind of like the light a little bit. A lot of us do. You might go in there and come out a new man, but he seems like a very interesting guy. Right. I'll say that.

And I could just, I don't know, man. He seems very, he goes day to day. That's what he seems like. He's day to day. Today I'm a footballer. Today I might go astronaut today.

I might do this. Obviously a great football player, but a very free spirited mind. That probably helps with his game, honestly. Well, you mentioned he's in the AFC now, man. Yeah, I know. He's in the AFC, man. He's in the AFC.

One last tweet before, got a couple more minutes here with Marlon Humphrey, Ravens cornerback. Was today year old when I found out the Titanic was real? Wait, what? I really want to break this down. This is how this came.

How does this come about? So, like, this might have seemed random. I was on Instagram.

Okay. And Golden, the new auction guy, he tweets. I think he maybe had a Netflix thing. And he was going through a couple things that were maybe on the show. And it was, he said, Kate Winslet dress from the Titanic. And then I was like, wait, what do you mean the dress or like the replica of, I'm not even exactly sure. But I was like, was the Titanic real? And I was like, wait, I thought it was a movie. But then they're like, no, it was based on a true story. It was not a fake true story. It was a real true story.

And then I was like, wow. And then it seemed kind of messed up that you're making that movie about these people like dying, which obviously, you know, it was a decent movie. Yeah, it turns into a love story. Yeah, which didn't actually happen. But I just didn't know that the movie was honestly confusing now that you, they should have made that more clear.

You know what? Which part should they have made more clear? I mean, they should have made that more clear somehow.

Because I mean, they got people growing up watching that, thinking Titanic was fake. Right. And actually, there's a lot more history about that. A lot of people, important people, died on that shit. Yes.

Once I found it, it was real. Right. It's a little, it's a lot. Yeah. A lot of heavy hitters.

Heavy hitters were on the Titanic. Yeah. So yeah, that is a real movie. If you didn't know, if you're watching.

You were not spoiled by the end of that movie. You were like, wow, this ship actually sinks. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, crap.

Wow. I need to rewatch it now. Because I was like, wow, it was a pretty good movie. And there's a fake, but it's real. I will say this, you have enlightened me because like you mentioned this now, that was like a made up love story that never really happened. But you almost feel like that was part of the real Titanic. Exactly.

And it never really happened. Exactly. Wow. So it wasn't as bad. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. But I love the movie though.

Okay, maybe it was bad. I'm not sure. I actually got a lot. See, usually when I tweet. Yes. It just comes to mind, I just tweet something. I don't really look at the replies.

Right. But I know I tweeted something either that was somewhat dumb or somewhat wild when someone personally texts me and is like, bro, you didn't blah, blah, blah. What are you talking about? I'm like, hey. I'll tweet something. Forget I even tweeted.

This one actually like was almost causing harm to myself. I'm like, crap. I guess I'm the only one that didn't know this. And Marlon, one of your tweets was in the Titanic thing. I guess I missed the true slide story in the movie. Like normally they would put up there like this is based on true events or this happened. Right.

This is based on a history of events. Yeah, exactly. I missed that slide, I guess. I definitely missed that slide. I got a couple more questions for you.

I know one and I've been watching this ever since she talked about it before. I forget when you talked about it, but why does every time the version of Madden for that season comes out, they always have a Baltimore Raven getting every time every time a Baltimore Raven is either getting stiff armed or getting juked or missing a tackle. Why is that? Why is Madden doing that? Does Madden the franchise have it out for the Baltimore Ravens?

I think the Madden franchise does. Every time. Why am I in the clip every time? Every time it's like get the new Madden, Marlon Humbery just ran over him, Marlon Humbery just mossed him. I'm just like, why is it even I'm in the background chasing somebody? It's just always, I don't know, maybe Ravens sells?

I don't know. They don't want to put a Cowboy player. That's America's team. Right. I'm just saying Madden, you should think about it, refigure it out. But no, they always, that always is a thing.

Maybe they should give us the copy first if they're going to put us on there as advertising. But it's definitely a thing I would like to be off the, or maybe we could be scoring. Scoring for the first time.

But we're always on defense. Okay. Getting killed, ran over, or they need to fix that. I don't know. Maybe they're just forgetting that it's the same team every time.

It's a possibility of that. Yeah. Can you name the two Ravens that have been on the Madden cover? There have been two Ravens. There's been two Ravens? Two Ravens have been on the Madden cover.

Oh, I know actually. Who are they? Jamal and Ray.

One is Ray. Oh, Jamal Lewis wasn't on there? I think he was on there as a, was he on there, Brown?

Joe Flacco wasn't on there. He just signed a big contract with the richest contract in NFL history. You might see him a lot.

You might see him a lot. That's my ball. This is bad ball. Obviously, Lamar.

I don't know how I didn't even think of Lamar. I guess I was thinking. I know.

Duh. I do got one last, I got to ask you one last football question because you talked about it a little bit. You walked in, you had this bright smile on your face, and the one thing, you said weapons. We've got weapons. So, as an OG, a guy who's in that defensive backfield, who probably can kind of relax a little bit when he's at practice because you kind of understand the defense, you know the defense. But when you sit back and look at the offense now that you guys got in Baltimore, we already mentioned the quarterback Lamar Jackson, but Mark Andrews, you drive, say Flowers, here comes Odell Beckham Jr., DuVernay, we're just naming somebody. How has it looked for you on the opposite side? It's looked really good. In the past we've had, we've had some guys, but now we've got like, I think in the past we've had teams coming to games like, okay, we could probably double this guy and be kind of fine. While, you know, I've been going week to week and you're like, okay, you can't really double anybody because you're in trouble either way, whoever you double, they got this guy. So we kind of have, to me, just some really elite weapons that if you, I know on the other side defense is going to look, okay, who do you want to eliminate the most and who do we think we can at least survive with this? So I think we've on paper put together, you know, a really tough offensive roster as far as, you know, pass catchers. And it's exciting, but the practice is not, there's not much relaxing in practice anymore.

There's not many like, oh, you know, I kind of, you got to be ready to go, which is really good for both sides. You know, you want to, you want to be good. You want to be great.

The best way to do that is get the work in and practice. And so I think, you know, EDC and the front office, what they've done this off season has been just really good as far as putting us, putting our quarterback, you know, in a great position, paying our quarterback, getting some more weapons for him. And even on defense, again, getting some weapons we've got, it's a, I think it'll be a really fun season.

It'll be some really competitive training camp practice. It might be some, might be some fights out there. You might be getting reports about everything. Yeah.

It might be, it might be war out there. So I'm excited, but I'm really excited to get that work in and practice. I may take a trip up there. I always feel like I'm going to like, I'll be sure to fight when you come. Just let me know.

I'll just get a fight going. I love that, um, that was like Game of Thrones type of feel going to, if you've never been to the Ravens facility, it's like a big giant castle and they have the gates and it raised that gate up. And it's like, you're going to this castle. What is it?

What is it? It's Owing Mills. Owing Mills.

Owing Mills. I love the castle with the trees. It is a very nice, we had a picnic out there, a big old picnic. It was just such a nice, the view is just nice.

And just all that grass, you see the deer coming in to work. You appreciate a lot, man. You do.

I appreciate life. There we go. You know what I mean? That's, that's.

Well, you know what? I'm not going to hold you up anymore. I know you guys enjoying an off season, so I'm going to let you continue your off season, get to the farm, do all that. And I can't wait to see you play this upcoming season, watching Ravens football Marlon Humphrey. Appreciate the time. Thank you.

That's all pro cornerback, Marvin Humphrey for the Ravens. Joining us right here on the rich eyes and show more rich eyes and show when we come back. Get an inside look at Hollywood with Michael Rosenbaum actress, Kristen Ritter, your parents let you travel by yourself. It was a different time. Just put you on a train as a 15 year old girl, you went to New York and I did get picked up at port authority. They thought I was a runaway. What would they do?

They'd detain you and like get people on the phone and then they finally let you go to your modeling job. How many times does it happen once or twice it just seems like it wouldn't happen. It happens. Yeah.

Inside of you with Michael Rosenbaum, wherever you listen. What's the most pissed off you made Nick Saban ever. Oh, when I took the sack second at 26 in a national champion. You mean the one that you immediately made up for with an amazing play that puts you on the map. Yeah. That sack? Yeah.

Okay. That was the second. So walk me through how that, what he said to you if you can in a, in a certain way on a live radio TV broadcast. I mean, I could only see it on camera, you know, how mad he was, that was probably the most pissed off though. I think he's ever been at me, he just used squeezing his headset so hard and then, um, you know, like it was hard because the emotion was like so mad to so happy, you know, so fast for him and you know, we got into the locker room when everything settled down. I mean, he was still, still the same coach, you know, put me to the side, like, well, what were you thinking? You know? Um, so after you won, after you won the game and you pick and confetti out of your hair, he still took a moment in that moment to revisit that sack. Being who he is. I mean, you know, he, he pulled me to the side, he said, you know, well, why did you take the sack?

Right. You know, and I thought it was a good time to joke with him, you know, so I, I mean, we won the national championship, so I told him, I told him, well, you know, we, we needed more room to throw the ball coach, you know, and like, he looked at me and like, I was laughing and he's like, that's not funny. So I mean, I didn't know what else to do in that situation. I was like, okay, I'm sorry, coach.

I shook his hand and he just moved on. I was like, Oh man. That's amazing. I love that story.

That made my favorite story the whole week. So you just figured, yeah. I was like, Oh, maybe. Yeah. I thought it was a good time to joke, but it wasn't. Nope.

It's never a good time. I guess in that respect. I don't know about you, but that looked like money.

Look at that. Another Alabama guy into a tongue of eye Lola, uh, the former, uh, Alabama quarterback now in the national football league, big year, hopefully for him and the Miami dolphins right here back at the rich eyes and show radio network. I'm sitting at the rich eyes and show desk furnished by Grainger with supplies and solutions for every industry.

Grainger has the right product for you call click Grainger.com or just stop by a great interview with Marlon Humphrey. I tell you, you can just sit here and just talk to him about anything and you know, a guy who's been in the league now entering year seven. And this is the part that I wanted to ask him because I got to that point when I was in the national football league, I played eight years, but once you get to like year six, you start to look around the room and the majority of NFL locker rooms. If you ever have a chance, and this is what I used to do each week, we would get the roster of the team that we're playing and you put the roster in front of you and you get your index finger and there's a little column that has Y R with a little period that stands for year. What year players are. I would just put my index finger and run down and every it seemed the majority of team were guys in year one or have R for rookie or year two, year three, then you'll have your occasional eight, occasional 12 or you'll see it on the Jets roster like an 18, 18 for Aaron Rodgers, 18 or 19. You just kind of just keep going down and you realize how young the game truly is. And for Marlon Humphrey, who just got to the NFL, I feel like yesterday he's already going into year seven and he becomes the oldest guy in the room. But it's always about having good veteran players, good veteran players.

He talked about when he gets to the Ravens, he's drafted Brandon Carr, who was an outstanding corner in his own right. So hey, you're here to escort me out of the league. Like how many players will tell you that like you're you got drafted to escort me out of the league? And it's up to you to go out and how do you handle it?

I'm only here because if you don't make it, I got to be the backup plan. Similar to, you know, that's that's been the whole thing with Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love and Green Bay. When the Green Bay Packers drafted Jordan Love, we all know it was to escort Aaron Rodgers out of the National Football League or to another team. Just so happens that Aaron Rodgers had different plans.

He decided to do what? Go out and have back to back MVP years. That's just the dude was just unreal. But that's the way the NFL is. It's always going to be younger. Always going to continue to trend younger, especially with the contracts now with some of these quarterbacks. It's a lot on coaches.

I have a lot of friends who are coaches in the NFL, fellas. Yeah, look at this Ravens roster right now. And remember, we're at the point of the year where what are the rosters at?

Like 90 or something like that right now? There's only 11 guys with more experience on the Ravens roster than Marlon Humphrey right now. Eleven guys out of 90. And you know, some big names, obviously Justin Tucker, Odell Beckham's in year nine, Nelson Aguilar. Yep.

Just to name a few. Yeah, those guys been around for a while, but the majority of the team is younger. So you go into a locker room or your actual position room and I remember walking in my room and I'm like, these some young pups. These are these are some youngsters and you forget some of the the time that you've drawn throughout your career and whether it's strategy, whether it's play calling, whether it's offensive coordinators, you know, defensive coordinators. You draw on the past experiences and sometimes you kind of like, oh, remember that one time we played against them and they came out in a two by two and they're looking at you like, I have no idea what you talk about. Wide-eyed.

Wide-eyed. They have no idea. And that's the part where people are trying to get caught up, man, as quick as possible in the NFL. But it's always good to hear from, you know, players like that. That's why I was glad to have them on because there was a stereotype. There was a stigma about Alabama secondary players.

There was that little stretch run of where Alabama players came in, especially in the secondary, and they said, are they really good or do they benefit from an outstanding pass rush? And a lot of guys got exposed early on. And that was something that he had to overcome. And he did it. But I remember the Jets took...

Exactly. The Jets guys. I was trying to think of his name right now. D Milner.

Right? Remember that? Good player at Alabama. Outstanding player. But when he came to the National Football League, just his college game didn't translate to the National Football League. And it happens with a lot of players, especially those big time programs. And now you're seeing these Georgia players, right? Georgia players getting drafted. It's literally the entire starting defense of their national championship team.

The first one. Every player has been drafted on that defense alone. It's never happened, you know, it's never happened before. I read that.

I read that before. They were like, oh no, the Miami defense went back in the day. You know, this particular defense, the starters from that game against Alabama, the national championship where Bryce Young was the quarterback versus Stetson Bennett. Every player that started on defense in that game has been drafted. That just goes... Twenty-two guys.

Yeah. Eleven players on defense. Eleven on Georgia.

On the Georgia defense. And probably most of those Alabama guys, too. Most of the Alabama players drafted as well. Yeah, I mean, you know, receivers, obviously the quarterback, the offensive linemen. That's crazy.

Yeah, you got a lot of guys. And that's part of the NFL cycle of players and programs. This weekend I was watching, I saw the SEC getting ready for their big weekend's upcoming college football season.

I'm like, it can't get here fast enough. I'm looking at the future dates. I saw the SEC.

Now they have the Texas and Oklahoma games starting to schedule for 2024. And then also this weekend I saw, a funny thing is, and look, I tell you my mind's all over the place at times, but I just, I tend to watch things and I see things. I saw USC recruits taking pictures in USC uniforms with the Big Ten patch, the Big Ten logo. Oh, that is going to be so weird. It was, I said, wait, what?

It was weird. But that's what's going on. Recruits now are taking pictures in the USC uniform with the Big Ten logo because by the time they get there, USC will be in the Big Ten. So yeah, it's a lot. It is a lot, man. It is a lot.

That's the football journey as it goes, but it's got so much more to get to in the program. I can't wait. I told you coming up in the next hour, I've got my top 10 takeaways from this year's U.S. Open as I attended the Open. A lot of things that I saw and I just wanted to share with you guys and everybody out there listening.

So I got that. Then we got to get to Brody Miller. He's coming up in about 10 minutes. We talked to Brody Miller about this U.S. Open experience and should they bring it back to LACC? Should they not? There's just so many mixed reviews about this U.S. Open. I can't wait to get Brody Miller's conversation about that and talk to him. Where is golf going now with so many new winners, right? These new talent. I mean, for all those people who haven't seen full swing, I mean, season two, I think is going to be fire. It's going to be good because we're now starting to see these guys in the PGA live tour connection and all of that coming up and it's just a lot.

Then we got Jeffrey Simmons, also the defensive tackle, all-pro from the Tennessee Titans. He'll be coming up at the top of the third hour. So a lot to get to here on the Rich Eisen Show with Kirk Morrison filling in for Rich. Don't go anywhere. Whew.

Whew. That's a lot. A lot going on. That's a lot going on.

A lot going on, man. But you got to think, these are what we call the dog days of summer. Like summer officially starts Wednesday? Wednesday, first day. Yeah, first day.

Well, we know. Longest day of the year. It is. Longest day of the year. Gradually starts to go back towards daylight savings, right?

Well, just the days get it like a minute shorter. Yeah. Because I had a 5.30 a.m. tee time on Saturday. Look at you. And I was good. I was done at 7.25. I just did a back nine.

Not a full 18. Back nine. Play nine.

Play nine. Was the sun up when you teed off? Sun was off. Sun was up.

Sun actually got up, I believe, at 5.37, but you get a little bit to where you can see enough. And when I teed off, boom. It was good. Nice.

It was good to go. So now this is the countdown of when golf season starts to end, because you're able to get up early. You can play early. I'm an early player. I can't play late in the day. It's kind of like the greens are too hard because everything's all dried out.

I like the softy. It's windier in the afternoon rounds. Yeah. And then, you know, a lot of golf courses get backed up, T.J. So I would love to see T.J. on the golf course, by the way. Did you play at a par three, like not, what, like a year ago?

Like a year ago. That'll be, that's a big... He's like, yeah, that's about it.

I'm sure. Oh, par three. It's actually just a nice little walk in the park.

Par three. You're just hitting a little ball around. They call it the granny course. You're good.

I could take T.J. down to the granny course. That's what it is. That's what we're coming up next here on the Rich Isaac Show. Conspiracy theories, paranormal, UFOs. Science teacher Andrew Greenwood stated that a child ran into his classroom and was hysterically screaming and talking about the flying saucer outside. Hundreds of children ran out of their classrooms to go outside and see this unidentified flying object that was just above the school. Just imagine a bunch of kids running out of school.

Most of them probably just ran home. Police of the third kind on YouTube or wherever you listen.
