Nightcap Best of NFL News Part 2: Cowboys teammates FIGHTING?! + Raiders void Christian Wilkins guaranteed money

28:02Shannon Sharpe:I'm getting healthy. But I'm going to get my money back. I'm going to get my money back. You think you don't win that grievance? I don't know. He might not get it. I mean, he might, look, without, I mean, a guarantee is a guarantee. Right. And see, that's the problem that you run into, Ocho, you see? Now, they ain't just trying to take the guarantee back this year. They're trying to take back all the remaining guarantee. But why he wouldn't just had a surgery, though? And they still was on ban? Yeah, absolutely. I don't get it. he had made just a little less than 50 million dollars for five games there's a good chance that he has the surgery again um he gonna miss this year so he had another 27 million this year so basically like 30 37 34 and a half million dollars on top of the money that he got matter of fact not because if you only played five games right and they done paid him that much already and you ain't had surgery in the whole off season and now be going into camp and you might this season again too if you don't get surgery man to hell with this shit right cause they looked at he had surgery in October so they probably saw this thing around what say like March April and it wasn't healing properly right so they say hey let's go ahead and he's like nah Because remember, Michael Thomas had that injury.

29:32Shannon Sharpe:And that was my question, Ocho. Bro, you had the whole offseason, so you got done. So you had end of January, February, March, April, May. You don't get the surgery until June? And you go into camp in July? Right. And you don't understand why the Saints are upset? Yeah. Damn. I'm confused. But hey, hopefully they get it resolved. Jalen Hurst was asked if he will open up his play style more now that he's won a Super Bowl. He said, no, I went a very long time being told I got to do it a certain type of way. That didn't get me the win when I did how everyone told me to. When you put so much energy into personal performance, you kind of lose sight of the main thing of winning.

30:21Shannon Sharpe:Since the loss in 2022, it's been my main motivation to find ways to win. Regardless of how it looks, I just want to find ways to win. And that mentality, I want this team to have. I like it. Perfect answer. I know a guy who won a bunch of games and a bunch of championships doing it that way. Tom Brady. Yeah. Y 'all remember Tom Brady in his first Super Bowl? Didn't even throw 450 yards. Do y 'all remember Tom Brady in the Super Bowl against the Rams? In which the second Super Bowl when they played in Atlanta? How many yards did he throw for? You see? Winning. But now they want Jalen Hurts to get out there and be like Patrick Mahomes.

31:07Shannon Sharpe:Man, we need you to throw for 400. I throw for 400 and we lose. Then what are we doing? Nothing. And he just looked good until you look at the stat line. The pretty person that get dressed up with nowhere to go. now what good is that Ocho I got on my Sunday best I got on some nice boots I got on nice suit got nice outfit Ocho I'm dressed to the 9 I ain't got nowhere to go so he throw for all them yards and they lose now what the most yards ever thrown for in the Super Bowl game Tom Brady has it what was the outcome loss

31:50Shannon Sharpe:505 lost one game he threw for 150 how many yards did he throw for against the Rams the second time in Atlanta I think it was 2019

32:07Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to win that's it, that's all that matters at the end of the day no matter what the outsiders say no matter what the outsiders say Philadelphia plays one style of football offensively. One style. A.J. Brown some days, it's going to be your day. Devontae Smith some day, it's going to be your day. Saquon some days, some Sundays, some Sundays, it's going to be your day. That's it. Jalen Hurst, when it comes to the passing game, whatever you give me, that's what I'm taking. I'm not forcing Nathaniel.

32:47and he showed you that formula it wins your ring

32:52Shannon Sharpe:yeah man i'm coming back to play this year man fuck that a reporter asked jaylen hurts why he didn't wear his super bowl ring his response i've moved on to a new year it's really as simple as that what that boy mean business wait what was his response uh i've moved on to the new year is really as simple as that. Yeah, Lee. Well, that's like some Kobe, Jordan type. Listen, I know I won, but the job at hand is not finished. My goodness. Okay, I like that. I like that. I like that. Damn. Oh, I definitely put mine on. I wore it that night, and then it went in the safety pocket box. That was it, huh?

33:43that was it i don't wear them oh you got here's the thing to ocho yeah they know you got them

33:50Shannon Sharpe:yeah yeah yeah they don't need to have it on huh yeah yeah i mean i'm walking around outside like changing like a wind chime ah you know hmm

34:04Shannon Sharpe:i like that hey he's very matter of fact he's like hey i do hey he coached by his dad he played for Coach Saban. Yeah. The main thing is the main thing. And it's on to the next. That was Tom. What's your favorite Super Bowl ring? The next one I get. Hey, I got a question. Hypothetically speaking, when the Bengals are the Super Bowl, you think they'll get me a ring? I don't know. They might. Sometimes that happens. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think this happens. I mean, the Ravens gave J-O one when they won in 2012. Yeah, I think that's probably going to get me a ring because I know Joe and Chase and Mike Brown, they're going to hey, listen, I might not be out there in real life.

34:54Hey, you see that stance? Hey, call it. Call it for me. Call it for me. Call it for me.

35:00Shannon Sharpe:All I know is I saw that man put both hands in your breastplate. Come on, sit down in that chair. Hold on. Call it. Call it. What you want me to do? Blue 17. Blue 17.

35:17said, Oh, Joe. Oh, Joe.

35:19Shannon Sharpe:You know what happens. All that dance in one place, that joke coming up through your chin. Oh, no. You know, I don't really dance. I got places to be. I got places to be. Hey, I felt real quick right there. I felt real quick. See, that's the thing. See, that's how you might play tricks on you. You see, you felt quick.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, he got his jersey! The 28 jersey! The 28 jersey! The 28 jersey! That's the first one I've seen. That's it. I told you. I wrote you all. Hold on. I'm about to give you five. I'm about to give you five bags, bro. Take all these, bro. Make sure everybody eat, bro. Sign everything or not? Yes, of course. I'll take this off right now. Yeah, take it off. Let me get it. All right, this is the first Bucks jersey I ever signed.

39:01Oh, yeah? The first one. Where's everybody at, yo? I don't know where you got this from, but... I'm about to order that throwback in here. I need to see you in that thing. No, most definitely. Appreciate you, brother. I'm going to sign the front, too. Yeah, do it. I was thinking that, too, on the way here. I ain't even sure this. What's your name, bro? Jake. All right, nice to meet you, bro. Appreciate you, man. But that got to be a great feeling, huh? Yeah. That got to be a great feeling.

39:32Shannon Sharpe:I wonder if somebody got that number one sign, because I was number one in the preseason, Ocho. that thing might be worth some money even back then yeah how do they let you get away with wearing number one in the preseason you can wear anything in the preseason all the 80s were gone okay okay okay okay i didn't know that yeah i didn't know that hey that gotta be a great hey that gotta be one of the best feelings man to see people wearing your jersey despite for sure you know you you finally get drafted you finally get drafted to a team and then to come in and that's dope. That's got to be a great feeling.

40:05I remember not only getting drafted, my favorite moment that had me like that how Charlotte was just there was seeing myself in Madden. Seeing myself in Madden in 2001, I was going crazy. My stats was low as hell. I wasn't tripping but I was calling all my home but I said, I won't believe it. I'm in Madden. I'm in Madden. Just being able to play with yourself man that was awesome

40:31Shannon Sharpe:hold on now Ocho hold on now rephrase that what oh pause pause yeah yeah yeah yeah man come on back with that

40:46pause pause pause hey it didn't even it didn't date clearly it didn't my bad pause Yeah, yeah, yeah.

41:00Shannon Sharpe:Uh.

41:05Shannon Sharpe:Nah. Man, I was like, hey. Hey, you got me good. Man, I need to go down to Tampa. Hey, he's passing out free meals. Yeah. I give me 20 pieces of 100 barbecue. They still sell those at KFC? Man, I ain't been to KFC. I ain't been to KFC. They used to have 20, they still sell them 100 barbecue wings? Yeah. Hey, Chad, can you still get honey barbecue wings at KFC? I know y 'all know, Chad. You eat KFC? I will. Nah, you tripping, man. You better go into churches. Ain't nothing like churches, boy. And number three, three legs fries. Get your little coleslaw on the side. You eat coleslaw? you don't eat hell no you don't eat coleslaw what okay you know the way you feel about coleslaw is the way I feel about my grandma okras she get them okras from churches I can't do that I can't do that no ma 'am tell me do I want some absolutely not absolutely not but I will take that coleslaw with that strawberry soda Lamar Jackson was asked if 2025 might be the year to finally win the Super Bowl.

42:30Shannon Sharpe:This is what he responded to, Ocho. He said, to be honest, I really try not thinking that far because every time we have those discussions, we get to the playoffs, but we don't punch in. We don't finish. I'm trying to finish camp the right way and then get ready for the Bills. I'm trying not to think about the Super Bowl yet. I like that. and I hate when reporters ask those questions thinking so far ahead. One game at a time. Every player should be thinking one game at a time. We already know at the end. They only ask guys that haven't won the Super Bowl. You think they ask Tom Brady about the Super Bowl?

43:08Shannon Sharpe:No. Did they ask Patrick Mahomes about the Super Bowl? No. They only ask the quarterbacks, the great quarterbacks that haven't won it. Guess what? Lamar Jackson win, they'll never ask him about 26. They won't ask him about 27. If Joe Burrow, if Josh Allen, or I guarantee you they don't ask Jalen Hurst about no Super Bowl in 25. Right. Mm-hmm. Can he done it? Right, yeah. You, Ocho, until you do it, oh, he can do that. But until you show people you can do it. They're going to be on your head. I don't think it's a good question to ask. You know what it is. We all in the training camp. We all have the same goal once we get to camp.

43:52The end goal is to make it to the Super Bowl. We already know why. We know why we fell short. Turnovers. We understand that. We all watch the game. I mean, a reporter, I know I understand reporters have a job to do. Let's talk about this season. Let's talk about this season. Let's talk about week one. They go straight to the finish line. We don't want to go straight to the finish line. Let's talk about who we got week one and who we're preparing for. I mean, but that's neither here nor there.

44:19Shannon Sharpe:It's funny. Man, I ain't thinking about week one. But see, it was different there in Ocho because we was playing in the preseason. Right. So it wasn't no thinking about no week one. I'm just trying to get through training camp. I'm trying to get through these preseason games healthy. And then when week one rolled around, I worry about week one. But I'm trying to stay healthy in training camp. I ain't trying to get no blisters. I ain't trying to get no dings. and I ain't trying to get dinged in preseason games. Because like I said, Ocho, you got 10 plays in the first game. You got probably 15, 20 plays in the second game.

44:52Shannon Sharpe:And you played until the third quarter, the third game. The fourth game, you sat out. Wow, yep. So I wouldn't – now these guys – because Lamar, there's a good chance Lamar might not play. If he plays, he'll probably play 10 plays the entire preseason. Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, I thought I could be wrong. I thought I saw something saying that Joe was going to play a little bit more in the preseason. Well, he should because y 'all start slow. So something has to change. Change something up for Joe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just play a few more staff to get more acclimated to the game scene as opposed to just going in there week one and trying to play catch up.

45:33Well, I think every time the season starts, the defense is always ahead of the curve in front of offenses

45:40Shannon Sharpe:because all they got to do. My defense is always going to be ahead of curve, just like when we got the training camp, Ochoa, because they're reacting. Our stuff is timing. It takes time to get timing. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Jalen Ramsey was asked outright if he would play safety. He said he'd be willing to, but also included an interesting detail. Yeah. I'm not getting paid what I'm getting paid not to affect the game and be in certain spots. Mm, I like that. Hey, that's a bar. That is a bar. They not paying me this much money not to be able to affect the game. And where can a player affect the game best at?

46:15At the corner position.

46:17Shannon Sharpe:Well, unless you're Ed Reed. Well, there ain't going to be no Ed Reed for a very long time. Nah, man. To me, he the best safety to ever play. Yeah. And I played in there with Ronnie. Yeah. I played with Ed. I got a year of Ed. Got a year of Troy. He different. I ain't never seen those guys take the ball away like him. He was different. Hey, you're talking about a true student of the game. He can tell you what you're doing before you do it. C.D. Lamb needed to get something off his chest today, Ocho. I feel like the league knows what happens when I'm healthy and I have that for a whole season. But if you don't, I will happily show you what's going to be like this year.

47:02Shannon Sharpe:Honestly, I'm a dominant receiver. I don't like to speak highly of myself, but I can't wait to show you guys. I like CD and George Pickens debuted a new handshake. Let's take a look at this old Joe.

47:28I don't know what they threw up. Finally, we got something to look forward to. If you're a Cowboys fan, you got something to look forward to. Look at, listen, it's going to be exciting. Offensively, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fireworks. Goddamn, George picking his elite. I almost said elite. He's good. Very good. If he got his head on straight and he keeps the main thing.

47:52Shannon Sharpe:I'm glad, Ocho, because we throw around that elite. We throw around that elite. I almost slipped up. I almost slipped up. Listen, if he keep the main thing, the main thing, this season over there in Dallas, not only is he going to have a great season along with CZ Lamb and Dak he's going to have a nice payday at the end of the season and it won't be with him it ain't got to be the Cowboys they don't need to be there he can go somewhere else and be a number one and do what he needs to do he done seen everybody else get paid and he was supposed to be right in line next so this is your year well kicking the can down the road ain't going to help that with Micah because how you going to pay Micah because see here's the thing you signed Michael last year before this 35 you might get him for 35.

48:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah now you have to go to 42 43. Yeah it's unfortunate man it's unfortunate but hey all right Ocho we're gonna get out of here on this one it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q &A.

49:02Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I still got it. True and famous. Jerry throwing shade at Micah. Micah depressed. Two Cowboy players fighting each other on the first day of training camp. Yeah. Cowboy disappointment. Ocho, you ready to go with that? Yeah. You think the Cowboys are going to have a disappointing season? No. No. I don't know what they're going to do on defense. I can tell you what they're going to do on offense, though. As long as Dak stays upright and healthy. I can tell you what they're going to do with offense, though. I know what CeeDee Lamb is going to do. I know what George Pickens is going to do. I know what's going to happen.

49:37I wish they would. I wish they would double CeeDee. And we got to understand, George Pickens is someone that can go from, he can hit his head off the goalpost from anywhere on the field. I done seen him take plants. I done seen him take hitches. He can go through. He can do it all now. He can do it all.

49:56Shannon Sharpe:Hopefully, he has his head on. He's in a great situation. quarterback that can get him to football. They wanted him. And so hopefully, you know, all the bad tastes, all the things that happened in Pittsburgh, he left that there and he comes with a new slate in Dallas. Dr. Frank L. Bellamy, what up, Doc?

But it ain't before of them, so I mean, they probably let him go a little longer.

53:35Shannon Sharpe:But I'm excited. Passed up, said, to save your life, which jersey would you pick between the Raiders and the Steelers? The most sought-after helmet, the two most sought-after helmets at the Pro Bowl, Raiders and the Cowboys. You had to like put a bid in like, hey, bro, if you make the Pro Bowl, bro, hey, can I get that helmet? Because you got to realize who was going. You got Troy, the quarterback. Okay, yeah, I love the trade hook quarter. You got time. You got Mike Urban. You got Emmitt. Those are the skill position. And then you had Nate Newton. You had Big Easy. You had Larry Allen. Yeah. And then for the Raiders, you had Tim Brown.

54:20Shannon Sharpe:I think one year you had Jerry. Who else? You had like T-Mac, Terry McDaniel. Yeah, but everybody wanted those. We were Steelers fans growing up. My mom liked the Steelers. So I think I took my first or third grade pitcher in a Steelers jersey, Franco Harris. Never forget. Because you remember Steelers jerseys used to have those sleeves, they had the three-quarter sleeve. The sleeve come to your elbow. Mm-hmm. hot hot ass jerseys

54:57Shannon Sharpe:Jalen Ivey said better season Ocho 06 Torrey Holt 03 I don't even remember what I did in 06

55:10Shannon Sharpe:I think Torrey Holt had like 16 I think you had 1600 too I think Torrey Holt had like 1600 because Torrey Holt had like a stretch like four or five straight seasons he went over 1 ,500. Hey, man, you see that team he was able to play for? Torrey had 1 ,696. How many touchdowns? Oh, was that the same year that what you call him had? Yeah, 1 ,696, 12 touchdowns. And how many will Ocho have?

55:461 ,696.

55:50Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, he beat you about 300 yards and five touchdowns, but I got to rock with you. Hold on, I have a question. Yeah. Do they understand who he played for, what team he played for, in what era? The greatest show on turf. I think, you know what, Ocho, I think, what you call him, well, that was 03. What you call him was still there, I think, in 03. Kurt, or was Bulger, who was quarterback. because he put up some numbers with Bolgers too you remember Mark Bolger he put up some numbers with him yeah and you guys listen Mark ain't had to do much it was Mark Bolger wasn't it yeah all that he had all them boys over there on offense man man them boys run that hey boy they run that speed out him I really like boy they run that speed out on you smooth as hell like they fall enough to hey that 10 rolled a 12 and fall off the table
