22:08Shannon Sharpe:Shador will start this week obviously number one job of quarterback is to win so excited to get that first win under his belt and then next thing is improvement and that's what young players do certainly young quarterbacks do you get one game better and that's just from working at it so that'll be our focus I mean I like it I like it Obviously, there's a lot of room for improvement based on his first game. There were some things that he did well. There were some things that he didn't do well. But obviously, the most important thing is he won. He won the game. But based on what we did see and the potential that he will and can have is the promise.

22:49The promise that he can change the dynamic of that offense. Obviously, being able to throw short and intermediate balls, being able to check the ball down as well. But being able to have the deep ball as a weapon. as a weapon just to keep defenses honest. So I think that's a great thing. He's going to have a full week of work with the ones, which is different for him now, and he can only improve. He can only get better from this point on going forward. So I'm excited for him. I'm excited for the Browns organization. I'm excited for the Browns fans, you know, because Shadour gives him hope. I'm not saying Dylan Gabriel didn't.

23:24I'm not saying Joe Flacco didn't, but I think he just gives him hope, and it's something that everybody wants to see, including the players that are inside that locker room. including the fans.

23:33Shannon Sharpe:I don't think he had a choice in this situation. You got to realize, Ocho, they had lost their last 11 games on the road. They hadn't had a start in 17 different quarterbacks. They've had 42 different quarterbacks. They've had damn near as many starting quarterbacks as we had U.S. presidents. And you got to go back damn near 250 years. Hell, we've only had 47 presidents, Ocho. They've had 42 starting quarterbacks since 99. so that's crazy 26 years versus damn near two cents over two centuries i don't i don't really know if they had a choice i don't know look i don't know if it was andrew barry if it was jimmy and d haslam i don't know if it was stefanski but he shows sung a different tune today compared to what last night and what he's been singing all the way up until this this is a different harmony here i ain't never heard i ain't never heard him sing like this before i mean it must be auto-tuned hey listen you got to do what you got to do and i think honestly honestly i think that locker room i think they would arrive i think the fans the fans would riot because enough is enough i think that the fans are fed up i think the people inside the organization are fed up uh i think the players inside the locker room this is what what they want um so i think the fancy kind of have kind of have his hands maybe tied behind his back despite this might not be wanting the decision that he wants to make, but he has no choice but to make it at this point, especially with the way they're going.

25:03So I'm hoping for the best for Stefanski, that organization, and Shador.

25:09Shannon Sharpe:All I know is I've never seen Myles Garrett with this happy earlier in the season.

25:16Shannon Sharpe:Give me hope. Yeah, that's it. I think the thing is that, look, obviously when you got a great quarterback, you got the Brady's, the Manning's, you got the Stafford. you don't hope, you expect. There's a difference between hoping to win and expecting to win. Right now, Shadour gives them hope. Hopefully, as he improves and gets better and better, he'll give them an expectation of winning. Now, some quarterbacks you're like, well, look here. If the defense can hold them to under 17, if we can get a big play here or there, if we can get a strip sack, if we can get a punt return touchdown, we can get a scoop and score.

25:53Shannon Sharpe:all those, no, it's hard to consistently win when so many things have to come into play for you to win. Shadour gives them hope. That's what he gives them. I think the guys believe that they can win the game with him playing a quarterback.

26:13Shannon Sharpe:And it's not like he's, I mean, it would be great if he had to score 35, but it's going to be hard for me to see a defense of offense getting 35 on that defense. Now, it's going to be a great matchup because Trent Williams is going against Myles Garrett. Hey, that's going to be nice. That's going to be nice. Now, Trent's coming off a major injury after last year. And watching him, he's not his same dominant self. He's going to have to be on his best behavior because Myles, have we talked about JSN? It's in that zone. Yes. You hear players talk about baseball players. They're in the zone, and everything slows down, and the ball looks so big.

26:50Shannon Sharpe:basketball players the hoop looks so big yeah miles garrett is in the zone yeah absolutely absolutely and listen i don't i don't think anything gonna stop him from getting that record i don't think anything gonna stop i wanted to blow i don't want to i don't want him to get 23 i want him to blow it away i want him to get 25 26 i would i want him to break the record that we when they think about it like damn this man got 26 sacks no that's crazy in a season that's crazy yeah that's what i want that's what that's what i that's what i want see you say bold ain't break the record about a little bit he put it at nine five eight oh yeah hey it's gonna be i don't i don't think anybody gonna ever kiss no i don't think so either not in our lifetime no absolutely not unless he got a hurricane blowing behind him that's the only way somebody gonna it's like flojo's record what was flojo record in 100 again 10 49 but that's fascinating some men yeah and she did that in 88 oh that's crazy i mean she obliterated obliterated the record i think evelyn ashford had the record at 1076 i think she i mean come on right it's like you say you say took the record from a softball pile from 975 to 972 and they went 972 to 969 and then he goes 958 oh hold on 958 and celebrating before you can cross the goddamn no that was no that that was the 969 that he did at the Beijing okay okay okay okay I still believe had he ran through that that's something that we never gonna see I mean you have to be on the back of a thoroughbred to beat that time but it was special and that's what I want Miles Garrett to do I want Miles Garrett to obliterate this record because, you know, Gastineau was complaining about it.

28:39Shannon Sharpe:People didn't like him. I don't really know enough about him. That was before my time. He was a part of the New York Sack Exchange. It was him, Dan Cleco, Marty Lyons, and Abdul Salah, rest his soul, and Mark Gastineau. They would call themselves the New York Sack Exchange. And then Strahan got it, and they said, well, Brett Favre gave him that sack, so everybody was being and moaning about that. T.J. Watt tied the record at 22 and a half So Miles Garrett come on And get you about 25, 26 And put this thing to bed and then hey You can kick your heels up Because hey, get 26 Because he's on a, I mean 13 sacks In the last four games Listen, he's on a crazy pace right now Like you said Yeah, he had a 5 sack, a 9, a 4 And a 3 Yeah Yeah.

29:32Shannon Sharpe:But look, I don't think Stefanski really had a choice. I think Ben going on the road and winning for the first time in God knows how long, playing as well as he did, he didn't need 300 yards. He needed to play well. He needed to show that he could lead an offense. He needed to show that he could push the ball down the field. He needed to have command and give those other 50 guys hope and a belief that we can win with him under center. I think he answered. I think he checked all the boxes. Yeah. If there's some things he can improve on, yes. Of course. And I believe he will. Yeah, of course. But based on what we have seen earlier in this season, I mean, he ain't looking to just check the ball down.

30:12Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Check the ball down, check the ball down. He's looking to push the ball down the field. Listen, the check down, that's your last resort. Yes. That's your last resort. Obviously, what I do like from Shador and watching him, not just in college, but actually watching him when he gets his opportunity to play, he did it in the preseason, is he will get back there and go through his progression. He will go through his progression. Obviously, he's not a dual threat, so therefore he has to be better at everything else when it comes to playing the quarterback position. Yes, correct, correct. Yeah, he's not a dual threat.

30:40Shannon Sharpe:He's a Tom Brady. Look, Ocho and I, we're not saying he's Tom Brady, but he's in that mold because he doesn't have the athleticism that a lot of these modern quarterbacks have today. He's a prototypical dropback quarterback. He's Byron Leftwich as part of the – because normally we think we look at somebody like us. Oh, man, that's Lamar. He's a run now. No, he's not. Nope, nope, nope. He's not Lamar. Mm-mm. Nope. That is what he is. He's an old school drop – he's Warren Moon. Yeah. That's what he is. Not Randall Cunningham. Not Mike Vick. Not Lamar Jackson. Not a Justin Fields. Not Cam Newton.

31:18Shannon Sharpe:He's not – he doesn't have that athleticism. He's a prototypical drop-back quarterback, can process information and get the ball out of his hands. Yeah. Yeah, would I like to see him take less sacks? Yes. Would I like to see him not bubble as much and give up ground? Yes. But that's going to come with time. And I'm sure the coaches are going to pound that into his head, son. We don't have to make every play. Sometimes we've got to see the next day. Yeah. Let's not move out of field goal range. Let's make sure we stay in third and manageable. It's hard to pick up third and 18. You might get one of those a game, but you're not going to consistently make a living picking up that kind of down and distance.

31:55Shannon Sharpe:But I expect him to play. I expect him to improve on what he did on Sunday, although he's stepping up in competition. Yeah, absolutely. And listen, hell, I was wrong. I was wrong. I was definitely wrong because I was loud. I was loud yesterday because I really thought, obviously, once Dylan Gabriel clear concussion protocol, I definitely thought they were going back to him. You know, I was loud and wrong. and i was only loud and wrong simply because i understood how they played i understood what it is they really wanted whether it was the owner that has them whether it was the fanski i i saw the games that were being played you know so i thought you know hell well when when buddy when he clicking custom protocol ain't no way in hell they finna allow shudder to start the following game but hey they proved me wrong yeah they definitely proved me wrong so i mean i'm happy for him?

32:48Listen, I'm excited. I'm excited. I know one thing. I'm going to be tuned in.

32:55Shannon Sharpe:I think everybody's going to be tuned in. I think, Ocho, look, based on the way he played yesterday and considering they hadn't won a road game in 11. I mean, so it's been so long. Starting quarterbacks, first start with the Browns, hadn't won. 17 up, 17 down. Nothing. 42 different starting quarterbacks since 99. so you can understand that any ray of light i mean it's i guess it's like you know if you live in a cold weather climate ocho right the first time in the sun i'm wearing shorts at a tank top yeah and then next day you know hey i ain't seen it what is that barrel alaska the sun just set and it won't come out again until january 22nd of 2026.

33:39Shannon Sharpe:that's real yes oh wait a minute hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on it helped me help me explain help me understand something real quick for anybody that lives in alaska chat y 'all can help me out now now do pill do people willingly live in the area yes where you get light six months and you get dark six months i mean what was what's the gist what's the catch what's the catch of actually living in that so i'm born there what you mean the kid the same to say yeah some people some people are born there you dead serious yeah for sure i mean some yeah sometimes they have daylight for 24 hours hey but hey we might need to take a little no we don't need to do that you don't think so

34:25no damn 24 hours is nothing but daylight

34:30Shannon Sharpe:i like that i like that i'm trying to think i went to was it ottawa i'm trying to think I went to Canada for a Canadian football game. Okay. I was walking out at halftime. I flipped the coin. Did something. Ottawa Red Blacks. Nah, they were green. Winnipeg. That's what it was. Winnipeg. Winnipeg ain't green. Saskatchewan green. Well, maybe I went to Saskatchewan. Chad, where did I go? How did Chad supposed to know? I went somewhere. But anyway, I don't think the sun went down the damn day before o 'clock in the morning. I ain't sleep. Because I wait for the sun to go down and I still see the sun, Ocho.

35:14It's four o 'clock in the morning.

35:16Shannon Sharpe:That's crazy work. That's crazy. Yeah, but I mean, I couldn't. I mean, it's hard to say I couldn't. But it gets some used to, Ocho. Because we used to sun come up, sun go down. Your body is on a clock. but just imagine you get darkness for two months. Ain't no sunlight. It's noon. High noon and it's midnight. Hey, I don't want to listen. Honestly, that's why I better by the way to Saskatchewan. It was Saskatchewan? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't understand how that's possible. Yeah, I think that's where I went. yeah put my name in there and see if i went to saskatchewan hey uncle who you who you know over there in canada huh who you know over there in canada saskatchewan that's kind of those that know won't tell those that tell won't know okay okay i'm just i don't mean to be in your business but okay my bad yeah my bad nah i just uh i mean i would like to go to alaska look around you know go fishing fishing oh boy they got killer whales out there man we go out there well I don't give a damn about no killer whale what I want to go fishing ain't nobody trying to fish man I'm trying to get man don't you want to catch them big old salmon yeah yeah but I want we could put on the on the wetsuit and we can get in the water with the with the killer whales with the orcas no I don't like being in the water you can't take number showers you can't you can't swim huh I can swim yeah I can swim no you can't yes I can I'm scared of getting that water, man.

36:56It's okay. Ain't nobody, you ain't gotta be shamed.

36:59Shannon Sharpe:I ain't shamed. I could go anywhere you go. Oh no, you can't, no. Go anywhere you go. You can't, I could free dive, unk. I could be underwater damn near four, five minutes. You cannot do the things I do. I don't need no snorkel. I don't need no tank. That's what I do. I done been swimming a couple of times. There you go. There you go. See, I'm trying to tell you. I'm talking about I've been swimming in the ocean. And there you go. There he go, chat.

37:33Shannon Sharpe:No, I'm done. I'm done. I said, Lord, if you help me get out of Glenville, Georgia, I ain't going to be in no tub no more. No bathtub, no foot tub, no wife tub. I'm done with the tubs. I ain't took a bath and. I don't know, 30 plus years, 40 years? Yeah, see. I put it like this here. Since I left my grand – well, I got a big garden tub, and it got the flower, the potty plant that I got. It's big now. It's a morning lily. Got my grandmother flower in there. But I don't take no bath. Like I said, if I were to take a bath, don't you? Yeah. Man, that tub, that ring, it'll look like Saturn. Yeah. See, you don't know what you're missing.

38:20You don't know what you're missing. I do know what I'm missing. Listen, let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. I'm going to give you a small example, right? I want you to visualize with me. Okay, I'll visualize with me. Copenhagen's Spit Free packs American-grown tobacco into pouches.

48:39Shannon Sharpe:And then I was the barefoot king. Now my brother, he ain't never go barefoot. Now I don't walk around. I get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I put on Crocs. You put on shoes? Yeah, I can't walk around barefoot. I can't do it. Hell, if I go to the beach, I'm going to have on me some Crocs. You got to go barefoot at the beach? In the sand? Yeah. Oh, no. How you going to walk with Crocs on in the sand? that's a workout in itself oh okay tell me let me know Ocho let me know yeah yeah man Antonio Pierce says had he not been fired he and ownership were in sync and wanted to draft Shadour Sanders he said Shadour wouldn't have fallen to the fifth round he said Shadour was born to play football he was one of our top choices Mark Davis was on board we believed in what we saw he was born for this if I would have stayed there, there's no way he goes in the fifth round.

49:40Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, what is your reaction to AP saying that had he stayed there, he and Mark Davis was in lock and step to take Shadour, and there's no way he goes in the fifth round. I mean, that's dope. Obviously, coming from Antonio Pierce, that's coming from someone with credibility, someone that's been not only playing the game, but coaching the game for a very long time. So he would have inside source in knowing exactly not only what happened when it comes to the collusion of him falling to the fifth round. But understand that if he was still the coach of the Oakland Raiders, excuse me, of the Las Vegas Raiders, he would have been the pick they would have taken because he wasn't a fifth-round pick based on what he showed in college.

50:18Correct. I believe him, honestly, because he wouldn't just come out here and make up a story like that, you know, pull it out of his ass. So, I mean, it's dope. It's just unfortunate that wasn't the case. And he got to get it the hard way. He got to get it out the mud. It wasn't given to him. So when he does reach that status and get that respect that he deserves, it will be earned. It won't be given.

50:43Shannon Sharpe:Well, I think the thing is, look, when Pete Carroll came in there, Pete Carroll was very familiar with who? Yeah. Gino Smith. Gino Smith in Seattle, of course. So he says, okay, I want Gino. And, you know, that happens a lot of times. Normally when the head coach comes, he wants his guys. General manager want their guy. So Mark Davis allowed him to get – Mark Davis didn't want to fire John Gruden. NFL didn't really give him a whole lot of choice in the matter. But so now they've kind of been on the tailspin ever since. Yeah. It's – AP seems to think there are powers at play that had more to do with this than – you know that.

51:32You know, I'm not here to speak on that, but there are certain buttons that are pushed and no matter who you are, okay, this is what it's going to be. All y 'all get in line or it's going to be a problem.

51:44Shannon Sharpe:Right. I mean, that's way above our pay grade. I'm talking about way above. Yeah. You would never, we would never allow anyone, no matter how big they may seem or may think they are, nobody's bigger than our program. Never that. And we're going to show you we still control. Never mind. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I mean, I was surprised that given Brady, Brady had worked with Shadour. Look, at the end of the day, this is a business. We understand that. Friends is friends. We can set things aside, Ocho. Yeah. Friends is friend. Business is business. But I was surprised that given that he had worked with Shadour on numerous occasions before.

52:25Shannon Sharpe:when Shadour always like, hey, when he did, you know, this is Brady time, this is the time that, you know, you go win plays and you go make plays and you win games. I was surprised considering that they needed a quarterback. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you get Geno. Is Geno really the guy that you think you're going to keep at quarterback for 10 years, Ocho? No, he's not. Geno, I was happy for Geno that he got the opportunity to revive his career in Seattle and end up going to the Pro Bowl, put up some big numbers. Geno played well. because it just didn't work out for him with the Jets for whatever reason.

52:58Shannon Sharpe:And sometimes it happens like that. Sometimes we go to the first location, we go to the first job, it doesn't work there. We go to another job and we're happy ever after. But for whatever reason, it didn't work out. But he got a chance to go to Seattle. Pete gets relieved of his duty. Pete goes to Las Vegas. And, you know, he wants Geno, a quarterback that he's familiar with, a system that he's familiar with. But I was surprised that, you know, I agree with you. based on what I saw, just my eye test, it's hard for me to believe that Shadour is a fifth-round pick based on what he's done. Just those two years, if you want to discount what he did at Jackson State, okay, fine.

53:34Shannon Sharpe:You shouldn't, but I get it. That level of competition, X, Y, and Z, I get all that. But based on just what he did in college at CU, that's probably at the latest, the third-round pick. I ain't say you got to take him top five. I ain't say, okay, you say not. There are some things that you don't see the significant upside, the ball and ceiling. Okay. But it's hard for me to see a scenario that he's not at least a third-round pick based on what he had done those two years at CU. But now he gets his opportunity, and we'll see what he made the most of the situation that he had Sunday. Let's see if he can just improve on that and get better and better, and then hopefully, you know, hey, this offseason he gets an opportunity to go work and he can batter, batter, batter, batter, more familiar with the system.

54:27Shannon Sharpe:He got a whole offseason to work. I think he can do something really, really good. Absolutely. Hey, matter of fact, I just thought about another scenario. What happened? Boy, that boy over there with that star on his helmet, you know, come on. Come on down to Cleveland now.

54:48who started oh oh pick yeah yeah hey listen i'm you got all you needed one y 'all you needed one good dog now oh yeah for sure hey chat what y 'all think you know and and i'm a i'm a bangle fan but i i always want what's best for pick huh for sure get exactly what he want yeah all right but anyway

55:12Shannon Sharpe:or choo jamar chased apologize today for spitting at stealers uh defensive back jaylen ramps betting on Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey on IG. He posted to my team, fans, the Bengals organization, the Steelers organization, the NFL community. Please know I'm speaking from my heart when I say I take full responsibility for my actions last Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. What I did was wrong. The circumstances don't matter. My passion for the game is no excuse. There's zero place in the sport or in life for this level of disrespect. I want to personally apologize to everyone within the Pittsburgh Steelers organization.

55:46Shannon Sharpe:I let my emotions in the moment get the better of me, and I can only hope and trust you know none of it represents who I am, not as a competitor, not as a teammate or a person. I want to apologize to my coaches, teammates, and organizations for not meeting my own standard as a leader of this team. This has been one tough season with some incredibly hard losses. We've all been frustrated, but instead of stepping up with calm class and leadership, I let you down. My having to sit out yesterday game make my actions even more inexcusable. I won't let it happen again. Finally, I want to apologize to my fans.

56:22Shannon Sharpe:I do not take anyone who wears the jersey for granted. I do not take my position as a role model lightly. As someone who strives to lead with character and authenticity, I should have taken immediate accountability for what happened. I am committed to earning back your respect, not with just words, but with my actions day after day on and off the field. I promise to keep learning from this and set higher standards for myself moving forward with respect. Jamar chase. I like it. I just wish Ocho. I like it too, but I wish he'd personally said Jalen Ramsey. Yeah, I'm sorry. Listen, even, even, even if he didn't say that, he might not have said that publicly in that letter.

57:02I like that. That was very tasteful. That was very tasteful. What happened in that situation was totally, uncharacteristic of who that individual is. Emotions got the best of it. I guarantee you this. I already talked to Chase too. Now, I talked to him one time and I let it go. Listen, young bull, take your punishment, say your sorries, get your apologies out the way and come back even better. Lock in and focus and do what you need to do. I guarantee you he called Jalen Ramsey. I guarantee you. I guarantee he called him personally and apologized to him because if he didn't after this came out I guarantee you Ramsey would have said something about it I guarantee you would but I know he did I know I can feel it I can feel it I just know he did because that's the type of duty he is Ocho but you put all

57:53Shannon Sharpe:of these other people in there why not put Ramsey in there because he did it on his own man to man on the phone hey bro listen man it's hard Ocho when you do it like that it's hard because the person that you disrespected the most you didn't mention him publicly you talked about you talked about cincinnati you talked about the fans you talk about the steelers organization and the guy that you actually did that to he doesn't get the and i get it i get what you're saying maybe behind the scenes but ocho he put this in a letter he put this on a post yeah and i i commend you chase i commend you kudos it was a mistake you let your emotions get the best of you when emotions are high logic is low and you said some things and we saw it in real time i don't think he thought that the cameras caught it but chase it's hard now bro to do anything without it being the revolution will always be televised moving forward yeah but that's all that's all look and i don't want to nitpick because i believe sincerely and genuinely but there there's a there's an art to apologizing ocho uh in order to get the full to in order to have the full effect of an apology now change behavior is the greatest apology I agree with you wait a minute now I heard you say change behavior now what I do want and I hope Chase see this still be yourself don't change who you are in that field do not lose the fucking edge that makes you you I understand the mistake you made I understand that part don't do that don't go overboard but do not lose the edge and what makes you special because now you think you have to conduct yourself like a goddamn choir boy that's not what the fuck we finna i'm sorry that's not what we finna do absolutely not you continue to remain that same dog that same edge that same same uh confidence that you carry wearing that goddamn one i know you got that c on your chest but don't don't don't lose what makes you special continue to play with that same edge you made a mistake you apologize for it.

59:55I'm sure you talk to Ramsey and apologize to him, even though Unk and others might want it to be publicly you know, that apology to be public to him, but I said

1:00:07Shannon Sharpe:I said this, and I believed it at the time. I said he's going to apologize because he's going to see what we saw what the world saw now he can hide around and say well you know, because I don't think he thought nobody saw it Ocho, he didn't. And I get it I get it. Like I said, when emotion is high, logic is low. Yeah. But all I'm saying, look, and I know, Chad, I might be nitpicking, but I just wish he would have mentioned Ramblin, Ramb, Jalen, and to Jalen Ramsey and his family, I would like to personally apologize to you. And maybe you're right. Maybe he's done that off camera, and I'm cool.

1:00:41Shannon Sharpe:After this, after we address this tonight, I'm done with it. I won't have anything else to say about it. But I'm just saying, I just think for me, an apology, I got at least I got to at least at least apologize to the party that I offended I understand organizations I understand the NFL I understand the Bengals I understand the NFL I understand the Steelers organization I understand the fans but you know the guy that this act happened to yeah but dudes ain't worried about that huh you I mean you thinking as in your position we talk we talk about players players ain't worried about oh you you need to apologize to me publicly not anything oh excuse me the boys ain't worried about that hey man hey bro man no oh it's i'm telling i'm telling you how they think they ain't worried about no no public apology man bro hit my line he apologized hey man listen we squashing it i'm gonna see you when we play when we play all in three more weeks case closed oh let me ask you this you do real apology is not for the individual it's for you you'll see you that's personal it's not the apology because the the actors already done you just need to you need to apologize so you can move forward i guarantee like i said i'm gonna take you at your word that he possibly i know he did i know he did i promise you i'm telling you he did but i'm just saying knowing knowing ramsey hold on not knowing ramsey too you know oh you just knowing how knowing how them boys think knowing how they act and they worry about oh he apologized to me they don't care nothing about that man young bull man hit my line hey bro Listen, I don't know.

1:02:16Shannon Sharpe:There are certain things that I could I could I mean I think there's certain things that you don't have to do but something as disrespectful as that and we started to see an escalation of this not just at the professional level but we saw it at college the other night too. I'm like when like I said maybe it was the camp maybe this happened a lot when we played and the cameras wasn't there to catch it maybe that's what happened Ocho maybe that's what happened but they listen they not they built different they ain't worried about that you know if there was an issue there's a problem and they handle their business a little different they ain't worried about no you know saying it publicly and all that well then why did he apologize then if he wasn't worried about none of that why do you apologize i'm just i'm saying i'm saying you speaking on it having him not mentioning ramsay's name when ramsay probably didn't worry about no goddamn letter when i'm telling you buddy probably hit him hit his line I'm telling you.

1:03:08Shannon Sharpe:But I'm just saying, I mean, it's hard to have a public apology when the party that was offended doesn't get mentioned. That's all I'm saying. We can move on. We're going to agree to disagree on that one. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying, Ocho. I'm not trying to belabor the point, but I'm saying the offended party didn't get mentioned. He mentioned the party's team that they played for. They mentioned the league that they played in. He mentioned the team. He mentioned his fans around the NFL. but the party that was offended doesn't get mentioned. That's the only thing I'm saying. And Chad, maybe I'm being a little extra.

1:03:45Yeah. Maybe I'm being extra. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. Hey, when they play again? When they play again?

1:03:53Shannon Sharpe:When do they play again? Two weeks?

1:03:59They don't play the night before.

1:04:02Shannon Sharpe:Oh, they play Thursday? They play Thanksgiving? No, they play the Ravens. They play the Steelers again. They just play the Steelers, right? That was the whole game. They're done. Oh, that's it? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So we go, hey, Chase, like I said, I had a few interactions with you, bro. Have the utmost respect. Motion's got the best of you. Hey, just move forward. Learn from this mistake. Don't let it happen again. Keep your head up, chest out. Keep moving forward. Copenhagen spit-free pouches are packed full of American-grown tobacco.
