Nightcap Hour 1: ESPN DRAMA with Lebron & Jeanie + Giannis LEAVING the Bucks + Bills owner SCAPEGOATS Sean McDermott

26:48huh

26:49Shannon Sharpe:yeah and that's hard you ought to see me going going up the steps is fine you ought to see me coming down the steps you gotta turn sideways Lord, look, hey, man. Man, because I already know if I hit the floor, I'm going to shatter like ice. You know, you in the kitchen, you drop ice on the floor. Everywhere. That's me. But I don't know what Jeannie hope to. Because here. Ocho. Me and you talking. See, the thing is, you got to be careful. Because if you say, hey, don't tell nobody. You tell one person that one person could tell 10 people. Yeah. Yeah. So now 12 people know when only two was supposed to know.

27:34Shannon Sharpe:It's right. Mm hmm. And by the time it gets to the 12 person, the story is completely different than original. Of course, completely different. You know, they're gonna add on a little bit exaggeration. We used to play the game in elementary. Oh, Joe, you tell the first person the first desk. You teach it. Come tell you something. Yeah. By the time it got to the bank. Yeah. There wasn't nothing what that teacher told the first person. How the hell y 'all effed that up? Yeah. Y 'all done added, done took some stuff out.

28:04Shannon Sharpe:Look, I'm still good. Look, it ain't no secret to me. LeBron leave, I'm leaving. Luka's still Luka. I'm not going to watch him like I do now with LeBron there. Luka's my guy. I like Luka. I like Luka from the first time. When he first, Skip and I used to go back and forth, and Skip said he's not. I said, Skip, that dude's special. After what I watched him do to Kawhi, PG, Pat, Bev, everybody they threw at him, and he's still getting them numbers, I said, nah, he can play. He for real. Hey, Bruin. Bruin the type of go to New York. What about him going to New York? If Bruin Lee and he go to New York, you going to be a Knicks fan?

28:44Shannon Sharpe:I'm a LeBron fan. So I'm a follow him. at first I was a Kobe fan. Kobe could do no wrong. Still couldn't do any wrong in my eyes. But I had to make a decision. I could have Kobe and LeBron or I could have Kobe and Kevin Durant. Because Burns is from the DMV. He knew about Kevin Durant. I didn't. He said, I'll give you LeBron because I had Mello at first because Mello is in Denver. I'm in Denver. I'll give you LeBron if you let me take KD. Done. I get LeBron and Kobe? Yes. Yes. I jumped on that with both feet, guys. How could I not? I get Kobe and LeBron. What? Look, I think there's truth. I don't say everything is 100%, but there's some truth in a lot of this what this person and Baxter, he writes great articles he does a lot of fact checking all Gina had to say is I didn't say that now we got a lot of family going on you could appreciate somebody and still say what you said I mean two things can be true Ocho two things people make it seem like well if she appreciated that means she didn't say it No, two things can be true.

30:15Shannon Sharpe:She could have – and I believe she appreciates LeBron, but she also could have said what they're alleging she said. I mean, I hope this thing don't get too messy. Look, LeBron don't have a – basically he's on an expiring contract. He's on an expiring contract. He's not going anywhere. Now, we're going to have to do something with Austin Reeves. Austin Reed's going to probably want$250 million. So do you pay him that? Do you pay him that? Well, you can't pay him that and bring LeBron back because LeBron ain't giving up no discounts. He took that. He done said it. He said, I took this discount when I went to Miami for those four years.

30:58Shannon Sharpe:I'll never play for anything less than the max. Now, I don't know what a max player going to be for a guy going into year 24. Joe, you could better speak to that. Maybe it's 30, 40, 50 million. I don't know. Hey, look. And the guy's still averaging 22, 7, and 8. AR, I already talked to AR, my Arkansas homeboy. He ain't giving no discounts neither. No should he? Nah. Get your money. Yeah, he probably going to get it. You know what I think? He probably going to get it. He probably going to be in LA. You know? I think, obviously, it'd be another big market team. LA is one. You know he's not coming back to Miami.

31:38Who?

31:38Shannon Sharpe:Bruh? I mean, yeah, yeah. I told y 'all where he gonna go. He gonna go away. He gonna go to the Knicks. Yeah, I mean, that's the only one that makes sense. We've gotta be a big market. Look, I don't know where it is, but you heard him. Go to the Knicks? I mean, at this point, that's the only place, really, that's a marquee team. That's a big-ass market. What? That man don't have been across the globe. He go over there and win one. Listen. Wow. He might get close to being my goal, huh?

32:13Shannon Sharpe:but we've never seen hold on what you mean close I'm MJ I'm Michael Jordan MJ I'll Joe Jordan yeah okay that's a debate man that's forever going it ain't gonna never stop depending on who you ask but Joey it can go on and on and on because they bring up all type of stats and numbers and this and that it just everything to support the person that you actually think the goat is, man. But listen, Ocho, can you imagine just even being in that conversation, them two, just being Bruin? You know, because I'm sure he grew up, you know, idolized MJ. He wearing 23! Just to be in that conversation, bro, is like ill to me.

32:59That's crazy.

33:00Shannon Sharpe:You know what I mean? Go ahead, Joe, finish. No, I'm just saying, if I'm Bruin, just to even be in that conversation is like sick. Like, you know, you done passed him in scoring. You're going to have all the records when you're done. But, man, MJ was MJ. I don't know if it was the times for me growing up watching MJ. Like I said, I watched all the Bulls games on Ocho on WGN. They all came on WGN. Yep. You know what I mean? So I watched every game. I didn't miss a game, bro. I watched him from his freshman year in 82 when he hit the shot against Georgetown when they swung it. Yeah. Yeah. him, Brad Darty, Sam Perkins, Kenny Smith.

33:43Shannon Sharpe:I don't think was Kenny on that team? No, Kenny came the next year.

33:51Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Big Game James Worthy? Yeah. Big Game James Worthy was the MOP, but you do realize that year, Ralph Sampson was the ACC player of the year. Was he? Did Sam Perkins play on that team? Yeah, Sam Perkins on that national championship team. Sam, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, Michael Jordan, Matt Daugherty. Yeah. Yes. But the ACC player of the year was Ralph Sampson at Virginia. I wanted to do them dudes ever really – did they see this in him when he was in college? What you call him saying he was the most – everybody that said he was the most competitive. James Worthy said, I was the best player on campus for about two weeks.

34:34Shannon Sharpe:Right.

34:38Shannon Sharpe:Jordan's competitive. Yeah, yeah. A lot of people are never going to get an opportunity to be around him. But if you're around him, he will challenge you in anything. Cards, shooting pool, there is nothing. He is ultra, ultra, ultra, ultra. I'm talking about big U. Yeah. Big L. Big T. Big R, big A. Ultra competitive. I'm talking about, and he ain't betting no, like, he betting money. yeah you got the hand i bet you 100 000 i can beat you in pool let's go play cars right now no i'm not losing my house to you the hell hey because it ain't nothing to him that's some trouble no hell no hey well that's funny we flip a coin you know we used to play flip a coin get like me so we both flip a coin get like me yeah whatever yours is i'm gonna say mine is too we might play a quarter this man tried to play a thousand dollars get out of here man get your ass out of here right but I'm sure by now Jeannie has had a conversation with LeBron and Rich Paul man that's all that's all smoke and mirrors it's out the window Oh, I know.

36:04It ain't nothing to talk about now. All you gonna do is it's gonna be the same old, oh, you know what, when I got out, let me apologize. It's fake now. It ain't no more.

36:14Shannon Sharpe:It's fake now. It's fake now. You already know what the play is now, Joe. What's the point of apologizing? She gonna make a video. She gonna make a video. Man.

36:28Make no sense. You know, people tell you how to feel and all of a sudden it get out. now you now you embarrassed now you got to you got to put everything in reverse and come on man that is how you feel it's okay everybody's not going to like everybody no owners are not going to like all their players and you just so happen to feel a certain way about individuals that came in and helped the lakers in a way and you maybe you do appreciate it but

36:55Shannon Sharpe:in hindsight you actually don't we shouldn't be surprised i don't i don't think uh uh uh Mr. Reinsdorf was the fondest of Jordan because if he was, he'd have never let Jerry Krause break that team up. We can blame Jerry Krause and people put that on Jerry Krause, but Jerry Reinsdorf owns the team. And just like we're going to talk about this in a minute, Buffalo. Oh, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing. Yeah, and he bears some culpability, but the Bagoulas, they own the team.

40:00Shannon Sharpe:NBA's teams reportedly expect there will be a divorce between the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis per Byron Windhorst. It's almost like a couple that everybody in the league thinks is going to get divorced. They don't know if they're going to get divorced by Easter or if it's going to get divorced by July 4th. But in the league, teams do believe this is going to be a divorce. A divorce. I know what Giannis is on record is saying. I know what Doc is on record is saying. The Bucs, to my knowledge, are still not taking phone calls on Giannis. They're only making outgoing calls. Having said that, I can just tell you that teams are poised thinking this could end up being a separation at some point.

40:38Well, hell, I could have told you that. Hey, Joe, I said that a long time ago. Well, Giannis, Giannis, that's my homeboy. You know, Joe, I ain't really too I'm savage with my knowledge of the game of basketball. Nah, Joe, for real, Joe. All right, go ahead.

40:51Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, you gotta chill, man. Yeah, you gotta chill, Ocho, for real. Hey, hey, hey, Ocho. Now, you know, hey, Joe, Joe, you know I know everybody. Come on, hey, look, man, we done hung out, had a good time, don't act like that. Like, come on now. Come on, come on, come on. Joe, you mean you acting like I don't know these boys, Joe? Hey, listen, listen, if, check this out. If he don't get traded at deadline, for sure this summer, Ocho, because his value is so high right now. And, shit, Giannis probably could win another couple championships if you put him on the right team. The problem is who has – because the problem is when you get one of these guys, Joe, you take so much away from the team that he's going to be going to.

41:35Shannon Sharpe:So let's just say the Knicks are in place. I'm going to need Karl-Anthony Towns. I'm going to need Ananobi. I'm going to need Bridges, and I'm going to need some draft picks. You might get two of them. You might get two of them. You want Giannis? Huh? Hold on. You see? You want Giannis? Yeah, I want Giannis. Okay, I need Cat. I need OG. And I need Bridges. And I need draft picks. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, Turbo. Slow down. Listen. Okay. Let's just keep him over here. Hold on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Good luck with your team. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen. I can give you two.

42:08Shannon Sharpe:I can give you two of them plus some draft picks. But I can't. You can't. You got to keep one of them wings. you're gonna have to probably give up two of them but you have to keep one of them 10 straight 10 straight all-star games all nba like seven eight times defensive player of the year finals mvp two-time league mvp now i know i want cat i want og i want bridges and draft picks uh hey hey hey hey whoa how about we throw in a little cash on that we cut a couple trades a couple draft picks. I throw a couple million on, you know, some cash. Your cash no good here. Oh. I want Carl Anthony Towns.

42:51Shannon Sharpe:I want Mikael Bridges. I want OG Ananobi. And I want two first-round picks, and I want two pick swaps. Desmond Bain went for four first-rounders and players. Look at what Mikael Bridges went for. And you tell me I can't get this for an MVP a final MVP a defensive player here at eight time all NBA selection times times have changed times change That's what they change Giannis is on the contract with the books. I know it for another I think two years to be Joe Leo's yeah Yeah, but listen, you know, you know, you don't want that bad juju over there I want that bad juju now. You don't want that bad juju go get him up get him off your hands that child start fresh Oh, he going to be mad?

43:38Shannon Sharpe:Tell him to scratch his ass and get glad. Go get the$60 million. Hey, Joe. What's up, Joe? Hey, hold on. I'm saying, let me get a little scenario, though. You said LeBron to the Knicks. So is there a chance we can see LeBron and Giannis on the same team? See? Now look at you. Now look at Joe shake the hand now. Giannis, Brunson, Giannis, Brunson, and LeBron. somebody's gonna have to take a little pay cut. Somebody's gonna have to take a little pay cut. First of all, I'm over there asking for my, he asking, I ain't gonna have nothing left, man. Leave me butt naked over here. You know that's what happens.

44:18Shannon Sharpe:You know that's what happens when you trade for, what happened to the Knicks when they traded for Melo? They had nothing left! They ain't had nobody over there. They gave up everything to get him. No nothing. We gonna figure this thing out.

44:39Shannon Sharpe:You know, and I agree with Brian. I know what Giannis is saying publicly. Giannis says, y 'all hear what I'm saying, but whatever my agent do, that ain't got nothing to do with me. Since when does an agent not work at the behest of the player, Ocho? You've had an agent. Joe, you've had an agent. I've had an agent. They do what we... Hey, this is what they got. No, I want a little bit more. right right you know NBA players NBA players they're in a position to talk and say what they really want to say they got it's such a superstar driven lead yeah ultimately the big guys the big guns Bron Giannis they can kind of get what they want for real yes You know what I mean?

45:32Shannon Sharpe:They, they, they, they, they drive. You look at a guy like Jokic, Jokic, whatever he want. Jokic said he wait, watch what Jokic get this summer. Oh my God. Yonah said he don't want to be there. So they might as well just get the ball rolling now. Ain't no, ain't no point in wasting no time. And then if you don't, if you don't. Better take his brand to a whole nother level. Boy going to New York. Oh my goodness. Can you, and think about it. You win a championship in one of these, cornerstone franchises. The Celtics, the Knicks, the Lakers. Hey. You win one there? They have him standing right next to the Statue of Liberty.

46:13Shannon Sharpe:Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. You win one in New York. Can you imagine? There are certain places if you win a championship, you're mythical. You win one in New York. Look at how Boston looks at Big Papi. Look at how New York looks at Jeter. Look at how the Lakers look at Kobe. Look at Bird and Celtics. Magic with the Celtics. Chicago, you win a championship in Chicago. Man, come on, man. People still talking about Jim McMahon. Bring a championship, bro. You forever. and these franchises and they ain't had one in 50 years? Yeah. What? Damn. Man. Yeah.

47:11Shannon Sharpe:Be his story. The thing, a lot of things, but here's the difference between LeBron, what I like about LeBron and Kevin Durant, they don't care about no pushback or what the fans want. I'm going to do what I want. KD said, I'm going to Golden State. F you. I'm going to Brooklyn. F you. I want to leave Brooklyn. I'm going to Phoenix. F you. I'm leaving Houston. He knows that blowback is going to come. KD said, I don't care. I'm going to do what makes me happy. Far too long, I've done what made everybody else happy. Now it's about my happiness. LeBron knew he was going to get criticism for leaving Cleveland and going to Miami.

47:49Shannon Sharpe:He knew going back to Cleveland. He knew going to the Lakers. He said, F it. everybody ain't built to take that criticism that's why LeBron Giannis is saying you heard what I said but whatever my agent decide that ain't got nothing to do with me like that agent gonna do something without your blessing when people turn to healthcare for weight loss they're looking for real support that's why more people are choosing orderlymeds.com orderlymeds connects you with real doctors and access to proven GLP-1 medications like semaglutide enters appetite.

50:12Shannon Sharpe:Bill's owner, Terry Pagula, appeared to use Sean McDermott as a scapegoat, publicly shifting blame while standing firmly behind Brandon Bean, especially defending the controversial decision to draft Keon Coleman. Coleman was selected for Buffalo with the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 draft, but has underperformed thus far in his two seasons. Let's take a listen to what Mr. Pagula had to say on Keon Coleman. Can I interrupt? I'll address the Keon situation. The coaching staff pushed to draft Keon. I'm not saying Brandon wouldn't have drafted him, but he wasn't his next choice. that was Brandon being a team player and taking advice of his coaching staff who felt strongly about the player.

51:11And, you know, he's taken, for some reason, the heat over it and not saying a word about it. But I'm here to tell you the true story.

51:25Shannon Sharpe:Ocho before you go now if you go back and look at the NFL network cut up Brandon Bean is saying I'm glad he ran 457 that means he'll be there when we select now that's what he said if it's a lie he told it but you see Vic Carucci and I know Vic Vic said there was a meeting about a month ago Mr. Pagula, Brandon Bean Sean McDermott they asked Sean McDermott now this is what's being reported I don't know I wasn't there what's being reported is that Sean McDermott says I don't think we have enough right now to win a championship and in the process of saying that since he drafted Josh Allen Brandon Bean has selected two Pro Bowl players two Deion Dawkins.

52:21Shannon Sharpe:James Cook, Dawson Knox.

52:27Oh.

52:29Shannon Sharpe:James Cook, Dawson Knox. He selected 56 players. That's not a good ratio. No. Ocho, I don't think I've ever heard an owner. Ever. Ever. Joe, ever. You don't do your young players like that. You don't come out and say some of the things you just said like that. Now, I understand. The onus also in being responsible, being on time, knowing your routes, not missing meetings, whatever it may be, whatever reason they had to make you a healthy scratch, you can control that. Absolutely. Because if you were doing your in, not only in meetings, not only at practice, then we wouldn't be getting to a part where your owner comes out saying stuff like this because they see you as a valuable asset to that team.

53:27So when they don't see you as a valuable asset, this is the kind of bullshit you got to deal with. Which rarely happens. Conversations like that, Joe, like when we heard today or what Unk just played, that's the stuff that goes on behind closed doors. Those are the things that are said behind closed doors. You never hear about it. The public never gets to hear it. I think we saw a small example of it with Jerry Jones this year, obviously with the Micah Parsons stuff. You saw a little bit of it creep out a little bit. Actually an owner actually saying how they truly feel, but now owners are getting a little brazen and letting people know how they feel about certain players.

54:03You like that though, JoJo? I love it, huh? I told you that. I told you we need to have more people like Jenny Buss. You need to come on that. Yeah, you know what? I said it. That's how I felt. at the time. I was angry. I was upset. You know what? Is there anything I can do about it? Can I take it back? No, I can't. Mr. Bean, Mr. Bagula, that's how you feel about Keon. Okay, bet. Say less. Either you're gonna keep him or you're not. But I'll tell you one thing. I'll tell you one thing. You let him go, you're gonna regret it. Maybe that's the chip he might need. That's what I'm saying.

54:37Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Maybe that might be the chip he might need. That's what I'm saying. Joe, sometimes it's a wake-up call. Yeah. Because if I'm hearing that if i'm hearing that if i'm key on it i'm hearing that i'm like come on man hey joe it's a good thing they been hey joe uh they benched bryce young last year back strong but when he came when he came back from that bench boy what he looked like stepping on stuff stepping on it come on now stepping on it stop playing big boy man listen another a small example some people might might not believe it some people might not believe it they've been they've been to her i i i just have a feeling and a gut just a gut feeling inside of me hell he gonna go somewhere ball lady and he go he gonna ball and the situation might be predicated for him perfectly i just think it might happen keon coleman him come on down here in the off seat and holler at your boy yeah hey hey go see go see ocho ocho y 'all you got to get your hands oh man listen i come down there hey hey he didn't know i'm already in his hip pocket hey i'll come down i'll come down there and run some routes with y 'all man you gotta get it right okay guy from where you from i'm not sure i'm not sure what keon from he went to michigan state so he might be from michigan somewhere up in michigan oh yeah because he went to michigan He was at Michigan State at first.

56:03Shannon Sharpe:He's from Louisiana, Ocho. Yeah, he from the boot. Okay, okay. Oh, he's from the boot. He already got that dog in him. They breed him like that. Yeah. Ocho, you got to teach him how to be a pro, Ocho. I got him. I got him. I got him. I got him. A professional is a pro is two different things now. A professional is your occupation. P.R.O. is how you go about your business. Yeah. Now, that telling that joke, they were laughing, Ocho. Remember you got them coaches from Marshall and H &M? You know, I play a little golf. All I do is play football, go home, play golf. I'm Tiger. Wish you could, not Tiger Woods.

56:39Shannon Sharpe:Okay, that's fine and good. You're telling all them jokes and everybody kee-kee-keeing. Get your ass on the field. You better ball out. Right. Yeah, that's it. That's it. I know a guy that was funny, that joked all the time. Oh, yeah. He was a class clown. Was a seven-round draft pick, Joe.

57:02I can tell you another one that was funny too. And he was entertaining Joe. Hey, he take the game seriously. He followed their NFL rule. He marched by the beat of his own. Who was that? Who was that? Shit, boy, you're looking at him, boy. Hey, boy, listen, the NFL was my playground and I'm going to play it the way I want to. I don't care what you say. But when it came time to do things right, the things that require you being a pro. Yes. Being on time, showing up for meetings, practicing. Hey, Joe, I ain't this shit, Joe. You first one now. Oh, man. Who?

57:40Shannon Sharpe:What? Joe, I lived in the stadium my first two years. In the weight room. In the weight room. Man, that's the kind of, hey, Joe, that's the kind of locked in I was. I was a little bit crazy. I was a little crazy, yo. They called me Can't Get Right, Joe. That's who I was, Joe. I can't get right. Real talk, real talk, when I was in college, Uncle Ocho, I slept in the gym for real. We had a lounge and it had like, that's when you had them big float models, flat screen TV, the big - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, I used to, hey, I had my video game hooked up on that joint. I slept in the lounge, bro, and just go out and shot.

58:11Shannon Sharpe:It's basically taking naps and just waking up, going out there, you know, working on my game. When I was in college, I lived in the gym, bro. Yeah. Hey, Uncle Joe, Keon got a love this game, man. That's what it is, bro. you gotta love the game when you love the game joe and when you love the game joe and you pour into that motherfucker joe it gives you all it all come back to you on sundays on it all come back to the results show up on sundays i'm talking about when nobody's looking joe you got to pour into your craft joe and oh joe when you pour into your craft not when they tell you you gotta go out and train when you're not even supposed to be doing it when nobody's watching when nobody's looking and you just working on it.

58:55And you're honing it and you're sharpening it. The results show up on Sundays. And before you even get to Sunday, I want Keon Coleman to get to a motherfucking point in the offseason where he gets into a building, whether it's in Buffalo or whether it's somebody else. Where he gets in a building and he makes everyone else's job easy. Well, goddamn, who is this? Well, who is this? Now, everything flips. You're now more valuable to them as opposed to the opposite way. They can't talk shit about you because now you on your shit. All your I's are crossed. I mean, all your I's are dotted and all your T's is crossed.

59:32Now all you got to do is go out there and play football.

59:35Shannon Sharpe:Got that discipline, bro. You got to have that discipline, bro. I always, I used to ask guys when I would talk to guys, I don't get an opportunity to talk to very many guys now. I said, I want to know one thing. Do you love the game or do you love what the game can provide? Oh, man. That's all I need to know. because if you love the game, everything that you think the game can provide, it will. And plentiful. Hello. In abundance. But if the only thing that you love is what the game can provide, it won't be long. Right. It won't be long. You get exposed, huh? You get exposed real quick. You forget.

1:00:13Shannon Sharpe:You forget what got you there. You forget what got you there. The hard work, the dedication, them late dark nights because see, once you come into being a professional and you start to make all this money, man, you start to do things that probably you normally wouldn't do. As a youngster, we know you're going to make mistakes, but we got to try to minimize those mistakes. But you got to have a love and passion to naturally want to get better, bro. That's the only way you're going to improve. If I got to always tell you, or Kion, if I always got to tell you, hey man, come on man, let's go work out let's go if i gotta always do this i'm gonna go so far brother you got to be there i can't i can't want it for nobody i can't want it more than you do no i can't it'll never work it'll never work and i and listen huh i didn't i didn't send a dm to all the young ones now i didn't send a dm to all the young you but young you laughing keon already talked to him xavier layard already talked to him roma dunze man um luther burden i'm talking about i done went through all 32 teams here.

1:01:19Everybody's in year two and three. Man, come on, man. I'm going to come out there and give me some of them ladder drills with y 'all. Man, let's work, man. Let's politic. Let's talk. How do we get you going back to your team completely different? Completely different where you're now more valuable to them. God damn. You mean we, hey, what do you mean? We don't have to put them in motion? We don't have to condense the split. I mean, just all around, your game can evolve so fast. And just, dog, just two, three months. That's all I need. Yeah. Two, three months. How you seeing the game different?

1:02:01Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey. It's got to be, you know, you got to look at maybe who the people he hanging around to, Ocho. You never know, bro. You know, it could be deeper than just the game, bro. Just keeping it 100. You know what I mean? that's why I take my hat off to the greats. Because if you look at anybody that's been great, Tom Brady played the game like he was still that sixth-round draft pick, and he was broke. Peyton Manning was the number one draft pick. Holly saw that, but he played the game like he was broke. Jordan played the game like he was broke. Kobe, LeBron, all these guys played the game like they were broke.

1:02:36Shannon Sharpe:They put the time in year after year in order to be great. some people are born great. Some people have greatness thrust upon them. It does not matter. It only matters what you do with that greatness. Theodore Roosevelt. Some people are born great. Some people have greatness thrust upon them. What are you going to do, Ocho?

1:03:07Shannon Sharpe:They going to be all right. They say, Ocho, your famous quote says, and Santa's doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result. I did the same thing over and over hoping for the same result to be successful. That's why I trained the way I trained. That's why I ate the way I ate. That's why I did what I did because I wanted the same result. All pro, Pro Bowl, Super Bowls. Why deviate?

1:03:34Shannon Sharpe:I'm not saying be you because at the end of the day I'm me. Mike asked me one time, he's like, 84. Why you not calm like TD? Because I ain't TD. I ain't TD. This me? Yeah. The greatest compliment that I probably was, that I got from my teammates and a lot of the coaches, they said, 84, when you was gone, we were miserable. All of a sudden, it became a job. It wasn't fun anymore. And you heard John say it. Say, you kept the locker room. when you got them going. I kept some bull jive going. That was me. But when they need a training camp or practice, Koo would come to me, or Koo would send BP with my position coach.

1:04:21Shannon Sharpe:The boss wants you to get them going. Okay, now I got to start banging on the joke. I'm gonna strike the band up. Doom, doom, doom, doom. Oh, I'm going, I'm banging on everything, Joe. Strike the band up. You, you, oh, y 'all about to get it today. Nah, shut up, go on. Oh no, the man say, hey, we need that. Yeah. Keon, you can do both. You can still be you, but you can only be you if you, you own the field. Yeah. All that dancing, all that dancing and all, hey. All this, all that, all that, do that in the end zone. Hey. What that dance that we doing on top?

1:05:08Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what it's called, Chad. I don't know what it's called. You gotta be the hardest worker. Yeah, do all that in the end zone. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna get him right. I'm gonna get him right, Joe. Hey, Joe, I'm looking for a reason to put him in a strap, my goddamn queen zone. Keep you in some shape, huh? That's what I be talking about, man. You know I got my wide receiver workshop now. Where? In the off season. well we're all the wall of all the family all the fellas came out in uh miami man what man hey i'm talking about my old high school judy chase t higgins uh jordan reed courtland sudden man all them jsn was here like all them i have dog they i'm talking about they they what they hey joe i ain't expect them i ain't expect all them boys to talk like that because you know it was short notice and i'd be scared to bother people because you know i look at them like oh my god like a little kid like i never played in nfl so if i was if i was the ass personally and they tell me no joe i'll be hurt joe nah hey joe i swear for god my right hand of god man rest of my mama like i can't take here and know from those that i look up to now that i'm not playing the game no more i don't i the way they view me and how they look at that how they say man we look at you no you don't understand like i i can be humble and be a fan of y 'all no when they showed up joe joe I tried to thank them boys for showing up.

These the boys making 30, 40 million a year. I think they gonna come work out with me. And they looked at me and said, man, it's you. You did it right, Rico. And you ain't know how much weight you carry, bro.
