Nightcap Hour 1: Shedeur Sanders NAMED to NFL PRO BOWL + Cleveland Browns in COACHING LIMBO + Seahawks Tariq Woolen joins NIGHTCAP

24:59Shannon Sharpe:I mean, the only thing you possibly could do is have the quarterbacks to throw, but they would need to give them like six months to throw so their arm don't fall off after that Saturday. I don't know. I just thought it would be something really dope and something that you would never see a crossover like that unless you play Madden. So to be able to see it in real life, in real time, some of the former legends playing with some of the current stars today, it would be dope to see them share the field. Ocho, you know, I don't know if you got an opportunity to make it, but But it used to be the Pro Bowl.

25:31Shannon Sharpe:Look, the Pro Bowl was an honor, but everybody wanted to make All-Madden. They wanted to make the All-Pro, and then they wanted to make the Pro Bowl. Because if you made All-Madden, he actually had to see you play. So that means you got the number one team, be it CBS or Fox. So that's what that meant. You got the number one team. So that means John Madden and Pat Summeroff, rest their soul, were seeing you play. And when you got that jacket or you got that trophy, That sweatshirt that they used to give you. At first, Ocho, they gave you a trophy. The trophy had to weigh like 25 pounds. So I'm not bulljiving.

26:10Shannon Sharpe:They gave you a trophy. They gave you a leather jacket. They gave you a sweatsuit. They gave you a sweatshirt. And they gave you a T-shirt. They cut the trophy out. And then they gave you a leather jacket, a sweatshirt. I think I still got. I know I gave my last year. I made it my last year in Denver. I gave the, what did I give? I gave some, I gave, I think I gave house the jacket. I gave Chalki the, the, the hoodie, but that was, that was an honor to have, to have John Madden. And we still got the Madden game and to have those two. That's dope now. Yeah. That's dope. but I still got the leather jackets I still got I made the biggest honor was me and my brother making it together I think I got like four sweatshirts because I think I made it five times I got four jackets and a sweatsuit I don't know I think I got a sweatsuit my sister might have a sweatsuit but congratulations you should do it look everybody's not going to be happy I remember, look, there are some times that hell, I would have gone, because I was the first alternate twice.

27:27Shannon Sharpe:My last year, my first year in Baltimore, no, three times. My first year in Baltimore, I was the first alternate. And my last two years in Denver, I was first alternate. Now, I definitely should have made it my first year in Baltimore. You can go check the stats. All the tight ends. Gonzo made it. Tony Gonzalez made it. Deservedly so. but you look, I should have been the second guy. I should have been there. And then my second year in Denver behind Gonzo again, I should have made it. But hey, eight times, I guess there's really nothing to be complaining, but eight times in 14 years, that's pretty good for a guy that went in the seventh round.

28:08Shannon Sharpe:But Shadour, congratulations. That's on your resume. Now it gives you something to strive to be one of those first three guys that get selected to the Pro Bowl, to be the fan vote, the coaches, and the players. It is a huge honor. and like I said, 25, 30 years from now, nobody remembered that he was an alter. Bill looked like, man, Shadour made the Pro Bowl. Yeah, hey, listen, no matter what, no matter how you feel, you got to put Pro Bowler in front of that name before you say it. No matter whether he deserved it or not, whether the stats were up to par for him to make it, the players before him chose not to go.

28:42Therefore, as far as the pecking order goes, he was next in line, so therefore he's a Pro Bowler.

28:49Shannon Sharpe:yeah uh actually i'm trying to think i made the pro bowl i made a pro bowl like let's see 96 i made it 95 i made it like damn near like five of my times because i think prime went like eight nine times and i think 92 93 94 no i didn't go 94 i made it but i didn't go Eric Green Eric Green was the alternate I looked at it like okay that looked good on his resume he hit me up hey dog what's going on I said what hey you know I got this you good to go that's dope that's laugh that's very generous for you that's what we used to do you called up Chris Carter told a story my brother had made it and Chris was the alternate and he's like man your brother going to the Pro Bowl?

29:41I'm like, I mean, he ain't

29:43Shannon Sharpe:loving it. I mean, if he go, it's only because I'm going. He and my brother up. Brother said, hey, all of a sudden, my brother had an injury. Right, right, right. That's dope. But that's, but, you know, somebody had incentives. Go get that. Yeah, for sure. Sean Merriman said, I have a Pro Bowl helmet that I walk past every day. It's signed by some of the best players in NFL history, legends, Hall of Famers, and real ghosts. The Pro Bowl used to be a badge of honor and respected. Things have changed. Dave said, you sound like a little bee. Been hanging around your dad too much. My bad. Who said that?

30:24Shannon Sharpe:Oh, it was a random. Oh, okay, okay. That was Sean Merriman. Then somebody tweeted back at him and that was Sean's response. I mean, I mean, he's right. He's right. I mean, that era of football, obviously, I played against Sean Merriman, made the Pro Bowl with him as well. I mean, it was different. And the game has evolved. I mean, the meaning of the Pro Bowl has changed tremendously. I don't think players in today's era will understand what it meant to fly and take that 10-hour flight with your family and see some of the people and meet some of their kids and their wives and seeing some of the coaches that some of the players bought.

31:01I mean, it was dope. It was dope. I mean, enjoying the island, enjoying the people, enjoying the culture in general, you know, throughout the entirety of the week. It was different. It was different. And staying at the Iheilani with that goddamn French toast. I still don't know what I don't know if it was a French toast or whether it was a syrup at the Iheilani. I didn't know why, but oh, my goodness. It's to this day. There's only been one place. I don't mean to veer off track. There's only been one place where I've had French toast as good as the French toast in the Yolani at that at that hotel.

31:33And that's at a restaurant in Montreal called La Avenue. Oh, my goodness.

31:40Shannon Sharpe:They got a restaurant in I think I said, ask the thing on IG. They got a restaurant in New York that we got to go try to pancakes. It's good. Yeah, I'm a pancakes guy. All things being equal, I'd rather have pancakes than French toast. Okay, I got you. But I'd go pancakes, French toast, waffles for me. That would be my choice. I mean, some people like French toast. Some people like waffles. Some people like pancakes. But I'm a pancakes, French toast, waffle guy. Yeah, I like it. But it is. But congratulations, Shador. Look, everybody ain't going to be happy, but it is what it is. Ocho, there. Support for the show comes from Public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.

34:59Shannon Sharpe:32 NFL head coaching jobs, but apparently nobody wants to be coached to Browns. Another coach passed on taking the Browns head coaching job. The Jags OC, Grant Yudinski, has withdrawn from consideration as head coaching position, but is still pursuing the Bills head coaching job. Mike McDaniel decided that he would rather go down the ladder and expect it to be the Chargers OC than the Browns head job. And Chris Shuler, who's the DC for the Rams, reportedly passed on a requested meeting from the Browns. The Browns now have interviewed commanders running back Anthony Lynn Saturday, former head coach of the Chargers.

35:42Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, when the coaches would rather stay coordinators, then go take that job. Does that speak to the dysfunction that is actually going on? I mean, it speaks to the dysfunction, but I mean, I got into it with some Browns fans today on Twitter. I mean, obviously we had some dialogue back and forth, And I said, you know, three coaches pulled out and they said, well, those coaches pulled out because they know they weren't getting the job. And then they talked to me. You need to talk about what you know, because administration or those in positions of power with the Cleveland Browns were flying out to see someone by the name of Nate.

36:18I don't remember what Nate's last name was. Excuse me, Chad, you can probably correct me that he's he's going to be the one to get the job. And I'm like, well, either way it goes, I don't think coaches are wanting to take it. It's not a coveted job. It's not like everyone is lining up, knocking down the door to want to be the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. Listen, I agree. As much as as much as I love my Bengals, I've always been an advocate for the Cleveland Browns players, not the organization in itself. They're players, especially, you know, Denzel Ward, Miles Garrett, Shadour Sanders, Grant Delphi.

36:53You know how I am. If you've watched this show long enough, you know how I've always shown support for the Cleveland Browns, even though they're not my team. But it's a dysfunctional organization. It always has been for a very, very long time. And one thing I don't do is I really don't talk about organizations in general, but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, even if it's me, who's always on the positive side of things. It's not good, which is why most of the coaches don't want to coach there. Another issue is obviously the quarterback situation. I don't think there's nothing cemented in place where a head coach feels that comfortable going into that building saying, you know what?

37:29This is where we're going to start and we're going to build from here and we're worried about everything else on the back end.

37:36Shannon Sharpe:I agree. I think the thing is that a head coach goes in there and they know Andrew Barry still has control. Most of the time coaches want to come in. They want to bring their own general manager. with that being said and then there's a direct like I don't actually get an opportunity to talk to Jimmy and D Haslam I got to deal with Andrew Barry who's effed up since he's been there I don't think he didn't select Miles Garrett did he what was the guy that selected Miles Garrett he selected Baker also John Dorsey John Dorsey I I I it is one of 32 when you're willing to say instead of being you know kind of your own boss I would still rather just you know be an OC or DC where I am I think that speaks a lot that speaks loud and clear hey listen if the Browns looking for a head coach you know who can go over there and coach him on shit me nah you got to realize that you do realize that uh the owner of the Cincinnati Bengals his dad used to that's who the Browns are named after they probably gonna have anything I know it's all it's all good it's all good I mean I'm just I listen I'm just I'm just throwing my name out there so listen Browns need a head coach Philadelphia Eagles they need the offensive coordinator I'm just listen I'm manifesting it I'm manifesting the opportunity maybe it might present itself if it doesn't i tried yeah well you keep manifesting i'm manifesting other things but coaching ain't something that i'm manifesting i promise you i promise you that i've i've been manifesting a lot of things i've been trying to speak a lot of stuff into it into existence uh been praying about a lot of stuff coaching in the nfl ain't something i've been praying about it's coaching in the nfl ain't something I've ever prayed about.

39:31I got you.

39:33Shannon Sharpe:Being a player, that was it. Once I said I'm done, I want another. You disconnected from the game, huh? No, I'm not disconnected from it as far as coaching. Yes, but you know what, Ocho? This allows for me, it allows me to stay close to the game without having to work those long-ass hours. Because I'm excessive, like I'm obsessive. Well, that's what they call it, obsessive. when you lazy and don't want to do what you want to do. You say, oh, he obsessive. No, I just want to be great at what, because that's anybody that's been great at anything, they were what you call obsessive at one point in time.

40:14Shannon Sharpe:Serena was obsessive. Tiger Woods was obsessive. Kobe was obsessive. But see, nobody ever said, I guess because Kobe didn't speak about it. Everybody came out when Mike McDonald said what he said, but I guarantee you there are times that Vanessa did everything for the kids, got them ready, got them to go to school, was at the PTA, was at their functions, and then when he retired, he could take on more of that responsibility. But nobody would say, well, that was a flex, that Kobe was up at, he said he was in the gym at 4 o 'clock in the morning, got two hours in, come home, shower, eat, lay down, back in the gym at 9, shower, eat, back in the gym at 4.

40:56Shannon Sharpe:nobody said colby nobody said colby was oh colby that ain't no flex i don't think people understand i don't think people understand the sacrifice that goes into it the amount of hours that you have to put in to be great the discipline to that level that level you know the tom brady's the tiger woods i don't think people understand it they know they put the work in i don't serena yes they understand how much work and how much sacrifice how many how many things are sacrificed that are immediate to you, including family, including kids to reach that level of success. It's not easy. Yeah. Any entrepreneur, whether you're talking about Bill, whether you're talking about Bill Gates, whether you're talking about Jeff Bezos, whether you're talking about Larry Ellison, anybody, Zuckerberg, anybody you want to know.

41:45Shannon Sharpe:If you're talking about that level of success, now I'm not, I'm not knocking. Anybody says I'd rather be a family man. I want to be a family woman and my family is more important than ascending and having enormous tons of wealth. That's to you. I got no problem with that. I'm never going to knock somebody for what they choose as important to them. But I think early on you get a kind of sense. I think Serena and Venus got a sense early on well we want to be the best. Well the dad who had no form of tennis training says well this is what it's going to take. Earl Woods who had really no formal golf training says well son this is what it's going to take Michael Jordan Michael Jordan says like this is what it's going to take for me to be obsessive this is it it's got to be the end all be all and to people that don't want to be that I don't begrudge them I don't it's different though some people's like I just want to grow up have a family be a husband and be a father to my kids and you know I think the difference is coach talked about it and I think because he talked about it because he voiced what he has to go through or what he's not able to do it's frowned upon but if all these greats all these legends were to hold that same conversation if it was able to be had especially from Kobe you get the same thing from Michael Jordan as well how many coaches you think do love what Mike McDonald does that makes it seem like he the only one I was there when the coaches would come back, Ocho, and they didn't go home.

43:21Shannon Sharpe:They went straight upstairs and started breaking down film. And they might not go home until, they might go home during the day, like Monday, they might go home for an hour, but they write back. Tuesday, they're there the whole night. Wednesday, the whole night. It was Thursday that they got an opportunity to leave at 6 o 'clock. Mm-hmm. But that's the price you have to pay. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. And you know the funny thing about it is we all work we all work whether whether whether it's nine to five or whether it's graveyard shift but there's different there's different levels of being a psycho when it comes to your craft and what you do different levels of sacrifice yeah that that as well i like calling those the jordan the kobe the tiger woods they they are psycho like literally psycho because a few screws have to be loose um to be able to have the discipline to do what they do and do it over and over and over and over until you you not get it perfect i forgot the word you say it sometime too you might not get it perfect damn i forgot no well you don't do it again you just you don't do it till you get it right you just do it so you can't get it wrong that that's that's it that's it right yeah that's what the tom brady's made it look so easy and it's so and it's so difficult the Peyton Mannings now they're great fathers now because what their job entails now doesn't require that that level of discipline that level of dedication that level of obsession what they do now now everybody's telling me that Tom has gotten better at doing what he does I don't know I haven't heard him but I had a conversation with him last summer and had a conversation he's like you know and I was like look bro you got to realize you didn't become what you became your first year.

45:11Shannon Sharpe:So what made you think that you were going to just pick this up and be great at it your first year? It's going to take time. You know what? And you can't be anybody else but Tom Brady. So everybody's talking about, well, he ain't Romo or he ain't John Madden. Nope, he's Tom Brady. And that's to be the best Tom Brady at calling the game that you can be and then let the chips fall with him. And he's gotten much better at it. But the one thing about it is, is Tom Brady his first year? Okay. and he gradually continued to get better because of one thing, repetition. Repetition. Repetition. He put time in.

45:48Shannon Sharpe:He understands now you watch him. Whereas before, he would never, when the guy was talking to him, he would look instead at the camera as opposed to taking the question, listening to the guy listening to him and talking, and then turn to the camera. Yeah. Matter of fact, speaking of that, man, What you think about me doing color commentary too? Listen, I think I would be good at it. I think I would be good that I have to work on my cursing. I work on my cursing. But listen, I can talk the game in extent and in depth, but I can also tell a story as the game is going. So I think – Well, here's the thing.

46:26Shannon Sharpe:It's hard to tell stories during the game because you got to talk in three to five seconds because you can't talk too long because the next play is about to happen. So you got to put that thing in a nice, neat bow. it's a lot more difficult than people think. It's hard. Like Madden. But Madden was very simplistic. He's circling sweat. He got smoke coming off the guy's head. And he boom, boom, boom, boom. People like that because he was very simplistic in what he was saying. He wasn't talking about no quarters coverage and he wasn't talking about this. It was very, very simple. He was like, look at it.

47:00Shannon Sharpe:He got a double here and a double here and a pull around here and there's an alley there. People love that. but it's a what makes that job so difficult Ocho is that you're talking about what's happening in real time in the pregame show you're talking about what you think will happen in the post game show you're talking about what has actually happened during that live you're talking about what is actually happening before your eyes and guess what you don't get a chance to rehearse and listen that's all experience that's all experience and being able to recall based on experience and what you've seen before at playing and being able to adapt that to what you're seeing in real time.

47:44Yep. Yeah.

47:47Shannon Sharpe:I mean, I like, I mean, I just, for me, Ocho, I don't really need, look, and I'm sure the guys do a great job, but what they do, I don't need told me. Because the one thing that you don't want to have happen is to regurgitate what somebody is saying. Oh, you just heard such and such say that. No, I just –

48:13Yeah.

48:14Shannon Sharpe:No, I mean, you do realize that I played the game a little bit. I was okay. I'm not saying I'm a top ten player in the history of the game, but I was an okay player. And I know what I see, and I can recall. But it's great. I just can't believe the Browns have found themselves in this situation. I believe the Raiders have their guy in mind. A lot of people say it's going to be Clint Kubiak. I do think Clint is very deserving of a job. You see the job that he's done with Sam Darnold. Because remember, Ocho, he was in New Orleans before Kellen Moore got there. And you see the job that he's done with Sam Darnold.

49:02so you think well obviously Clint Kubiak knowing that the number one pick obviously going to be Fernando Mendoza I mean okay I like it I like it I think still

49:14Shannon Sharpe:we talked about this Ocho I think this is just my personal I haven't talked to anybody in Baltimore I think the reason why Baltimore went defense is that they say Lamar Jackson has won two MVPs with two different coordinators we believe Lamar Jackson is so great We don't give a damn who the coordinator is. His greatness is going to shine. No matter what. We need somebody to repair this defense. This is where we lose the game. This is we have double digit leads and we're squandering those leads. We were last or we were last or near the bottom and pass defense and sacks and all these stats. And so I think that's what Steve Bishotti was going for.

49:55Shannon Sharpe:and as a matter of fact I think he was in Baltimore with John Harbaugh before he went to the Chargers so that's my thought process on that but the Browns look I know Miles Garrett is making money and he's still not making as much as he should be making, considering the type of player that he is. But I don't know how he can put the kind of time that he does to take care of his body and to be great as he is and just to get accustomed to this losing. I don't know how, Ocho. It takes a special type of person, Ocho, to go out there and you know what you put in. And you see, think about Ocho. They're playing from behind.

50:50Shannon Sharpe:He got 23 sacks and rarely, if ever, did they have the lead. Yeah. Well, listen, they – Just imagine if he had a team, like, if he had a team that could put points on the board and they got an opportunity to play for a lead and he got an opportunity to hunt. That's crazy. Well, listen, they did promise him. He did have some gripes and said he wants to play for a winning organization. They paid him and they promised him we're going to build a winner. promises like pie crust thin and easily broken well they can prove themselves this offseason they can prove themselves in the draft how many times you seen people get before they get before that man stand right there at the altar and promise I'm gonna love you for better or for worse and be gone sickness that didn't help rich or poor they out the door they gone this is too much I didn't sign up for this hey god leave boy i'm still i'm still thinking about that news you gave me at the beginning of the show man god leave boy that's exciting yeah people say well barry santa with that guy and barry left yeah he did they kept bravo they kept promising bad they kept promising bad kept promising bad barry said after 10 years yeah y 'all y 'all just running game on me y 'all y 'all we're not getting better as a matter of fact i think we're starting to take a step back calvin johnson That's why he left.

52:19Shannon Sharpe:Calvin Johnson. Calvin Johnson, same thing. I mean, think about it. You got two of their all-time great players. Billy Sims, actually, that 20 number was special. I know you don't remember Billy Sims. Wait, white shoes? Oh, that's Billy Johnson. No, that's Billy. That's Billy White Shoes Johnson. Billy Sims was a Heisman Trophy winner. I think Billy came out in 78. Yeah, 78. Because Earl Campbell won the Heisman in 77. Billy was 78. Charles White was 79. George Rogers was 80. Marcus Allen was 81. Hershel Walker was 82. Mike Rogier was 83. Doug Flutie was 84. Bo Jackson was 83. But you know what I'm saying, Ocho.

52:59Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I'm picking up what you're putting down. So with that being said, he was special, but he got an ACL. And, you know, back then, guys didn't come back from ACLs like they do now. Now, people marvel at Adrian Peterson, and they should. You do realize that Rod Woodson tore his ACL in the first game of the season and played in the Super Bowl. Damn. He did. He did. That's crazy. Jerry tore his ACL and played in the second to the last game of the season. I don't understand how they did that. but Adrian Peterson is the most remarkable person to come back from ACL and have a crazy season post ACL tear I don't know what doctor he went to I don't know what kind of rehab he did but man whatever he did or whatever process or rehab he went through that's what everyone else that tears at ACL that's where they need to go unbelievable I don't know did James Andrews do was it Andrews that did AP surgery or Elitrosh?

54:12Shannon Sharpe:Because I don't think he went to the Stedman Hawkins clinic.

54:18Shannon Sharpe:But I mean, eventually somebody's going to take the job. They're going to lie to him and tell him you're going to have control you have, can say, over the 53. Yeah, he went to James Andrews down in Birmingham. I don't know if he's still doing surgery. Dr. Andrew's old now. He's got to be like 80. He that old, you think? Yeah.

54:49Shannon Sharpe:He's 83. Yeah. I don't know. You know, a lot of times when they have sons, their sons become, because that's how Dr. Watkins is. So, you know, the son takes over to practice. But, yeah, but you got to realize, Ocho, I remember hearing about him when I first got in the league. In Stedman Hawkins Clinic, they were the team doctor for the Broncos. They had a place up in Aspen, Colorado, in Aspen, and a lot of guys would go up there to get ACLs or they did microfracture. Rod had microfracture also where they bore holes in the knee and let it drip and let it try to heal itself. Yeah. Ocho, the Seahawks quarterback Rick Willen apologized for his costly taunting penalty that almost cost the Seahawks a trip to the Super Bowl no cap, high intensity game when you're in the zone, you balling with your bros sometimes you black out Ocho can you trust that he won't black out again, because what happens you know, you know Diggs gonna be talking, Diggs is a talker he gonna be alright, you know you're not gonna cross your team, obviously emotions were very high, he made a good play He was excited.

56:06He lost sense of self in that moment. Obviously, he had one of his players get on him. They exchanged words on the sideline. The good thing about this is you live and you learn, and it didn't cost your team. So you know that next week you're not going to just mess around and do it again. So you're going to be a little bit more cautious. Control your emotions. Make your plays. Celebrate with your teammates. And leave the trash talking alone.

56:30Shannon Sharpe:Control your emotions. Don't let them control you. were able to get him. Get him. Because that's what we did. You got somebody. We play the Raiders or the Chiefs? Oh, yeah. You already know. Damn. You got to try to get any edge you possibly can. Hey, bud.

56:57That's going to be... I'm so excited. That's going to be a good game, man. It's going to be a great game. don't have to worry about the weather being an element you know we don't have to worry about at least hope not because you know sometimes it's going to rain in san francisco you know hey at night but night time i mean we're not even gonna be at the game you going to the game yeah well you see hey you seen the ticket prices man yes four tickets 200 000 four tickets 65 000. hey the best seat the best seat in the house the best ticket in the house on my couch too because I think I leave Sunday morning if I'm not mistaken.

57:37Shannon Sharpe:I leave Friday morning. Hell yeah. By the time I get home I'll be able to sit down and get ready to watch the game. Nice and quiet. No man. Look here. If the Broncos had made it I was coming home. Either way. either way yes I'm gonna have my Bronco gear on for him but I'm not going to the game nah it's unfortunate obviously I understand it I understand the business side of it they've turned it into a corporate event we have this conversation every single year when it comes time to the Super Bowl the true fans that support these two teams throughout the season that are at all the home games that go on the road games I'm not sure unless you're just extremely well off or you saved up to be able to afford to be able to go to the game, huh?

58:34Shannon Sharpe:Like, it's ridiculous. Yeah, it's, look, a lot of this stuff, I mean, the advertisers, they spend so much and they get a block of tickets. You got a, you know, Pepsi and Gatorade and Verizon and, you know, all those corporate sponsors, Pizza Hut, they get so many tickets, Ocho. I mean, I mean, hey, and I don't begrudge him.

1:02:33Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, before joining the Seahawks last offseason, Cooper Cupp's departure from the Rams was more contentious than initially appeared. Michael Silver, I know Mike very well, revealed more details behind what led Cupp's release, reporting that rather than trying to negotiate a salary deduction with a former All-Pro, the Rams had unceremoniously cut ties, urging him to retire. The Rams also reportedly tried to dictate Cupp's market once he became a free agent. Sources told Silver that Cupp became to believe that some of the L.A. officials had cautioned potential suitors against paying him anything more than the vet minimum suggested that his age and accumulation of injuries had provoked a steep decline.

1:03:18Shannon Sharpe:Cupp spent his first eight seasons of his career in Los Angeles after being drafted with a third-round pick in 2017. He helped lead the Rams to a Super Bowl title in 2021, earning a Super Bowl MVP and NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Now, Cupp has gotten the last laugh. Cupp had the greatest receiving season in NFL history. When you combine that season that he had, Ocho, he was a super crowd. He finished a couple of yards short of Calvin Johnson. I think he had like 144 catches, 1940-something yards. Calvin Johnson's record is 1964. 64 but he led the league he was a triple crown and then he parlayed that in the postseason and was went crazy when he absolutely had to be he was historically great in the postseason so i believe when you look well over 2000 what do you i think he had like 2400 receiving yards i mean in his totality yeah it's something like that yes but even even with that even with that historic season he had in 2021 you see how the business side of things come back to bite you and you know what?

1:04:24Oh, now you done lost a step. No, he didn't lose a step. You just, you stopped giving the opportunities you gave him the same. You got, yeah, I mean, obviously you got Puga, but you still didn't put him in position to make those same plays before Puga got there.

1:04:38Shannon Sharpe:No, you put him in position, Ochoa. He was, he was injured, probably remember. Yeah, he had some injuries, but you got to realize, think about how often, Ochoa, do you know how many hits, blows you got to take? If you catch 140 something, passes. Now, how many times did you drop the ball and you still got hit? I'm just... So think about that over the course of a career. Now, Puka is there. Puka's a little bigger. But Cooper Cupp is big. People think Cooper Cupp is a small guy. Cooper Cupp ain't small. He looked like it on the field until you get up close. Yeah, he's just a big boy now. And so, but my thing is, Ocho, I don't...

1:05:17Shannon Sharpe:You shouldn't be able to dictate. Okay, you release me. no I don't want to retire I don't believe look Ocho you married you get a divorce you try to dictate to your wife well I don't think you should get remarried I think you just live by yourself I'm not sure and vice versa the wife gets divorced and say I don't think you should get remarried no no no you don't want me don't worry about what I'm going to do somewhere else I might decide to retire I might decide not to get a spouse but that's going to be my choice why would they do that anyway why would they even care once he decides to leave and you didn't want to pay me you telling me to uh to take a pay cut not only you telling me to take a pay cut you telling other teams that might want me telling to only give me the minimum what is that all about why would you even care it's not your money why would they even care i don't i don't understand exactly and and and and and staying cranky he's the largest landowner in the world got over 2.3 million acres.

1:06:21Shannon Sharpe:He worth 16, 17 billion dollars on the Nuggets, the Avalanche, Arsenal. I need a hard last stand too, boy. I'm glad you said that, boy. Could you imagine if I played for the Rams? I would have been the first player to be a to play a two be a two sport player like Deion. Yeah, I would have played for Arsenal and I would have played for the Rams. This is Dr. Laurie Santos from the Happiness Lab with Dr. Laurie Santos.
