21:09Shannon Sharpe:Okay.

21:16Shannon Sharpe:No, I think I think Puka and the coolest catch was better than he had in who Traylon Burks. Did you see Puka and the cool and he had your side? Yeah, he did. Like it was nice. It was nice. Hey, that was very nice. Obviously, the catch was people don't realize as somebody that you and I caught the ball. people don't realize it's easier to catch the ball looking back but when he caught it like this. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that was nice that's a hard that's and it's raining. That was very difficult that was very difficult very very difficult I mean Traylon Burk's catch was very nice I'm glad to see him you know ascend back to being able to make plays and get an opportunity to make plays but that that goddamn Pukul Nakua catch that's up there is one of the best it's up there is one of the best now.

22:02Shannon Sharpe:People don't realize how hard it is to catch the ball because I was thinking about it. You catching the ball like this. You taught to catch the ball like this. Or if the ball's over your head, you catch it like that. You're not catching no ball like this. And then he catching it like he got a baseball mitt. He catching it like he catching a baseball. Yeah, that was nice. I can admit, that was very nice. That was real nice. That was real nice. Copenhagen's spit-free pouches are packed full of American-grown tobacco. Made for welders.

I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people. We got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News, reporting for America.

26:02Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, the 49ers beat the Browns by the score of 26-8. Browns special teams today gave a 66-yard punt return that led to a touchdown. Field of kickoff. Bro, if you let that ball go, you're going to get it at the 40. You don't need to toe touch or kickoff. fumbled a punt and kicked the touchback with 39 seconds left in the half, which gave the 49ers great field position to help them get three points right before the half. The Browns, look, what'd they have? They ran the ball, Ocho, 31 carries above 38. Shaduel was 16-25, 149, one touchdown, no interception. He was sacked three times. Brock Purdy on the other side was 16-29, 161 touchdown, no interception.

26:51Shannon Sharpe:Miles Garrett did sack him one time. Look, I'm going to let you go first. What did you see? What did you think of the game? It was okay. It was okay. It was the defensive game, obviously. 49ers played great defense. The goddamn Brown played great defense. I would have loved to see more from Shador and that offense. Judkins ran the ball really well. Outside of that, there weren't enough explosive plays. There weren't enough explosive plays out there for me. I mean, outside of that, it was the average game. It was the average game. There really isn't much to really talk about. Obviously, watching the Browns play today, I mean, defense.

27:30Defense played well. Offense didn't really do much. They didn't move the ball well enough. Too many goddamn three and outs. Too many three and outs.

27:40Shannon Sharpe:They did. But if I could give Shadour a little insight. Shadour, you're not that fast. There's not one defensive end that you cannot run. Bro, you've got to stop trying to escape the outside and belly and back. You've got to stop that, Ocho. Another thing, it is okay on four down to throw it. Give your guy a chance. On fourth and 26, Ocho, you can't run, get four yards, and slide down. You can't do that, Ocho. You can't. Throw the ball up. Who cares if it's an interception? But you've got to give your guy a chance. Look, the game is over, Ocho. The game is over. There's not an 18 or 19-yard, there's not a 19-point play in the NFL.

28:24Shannon Sharpe:But you've got to give your guys a chance. People say, well, Jerry, Judy, I don't know. It looked like to me, it don't look like Judy could have caught the ball on that one, the first drive-o choke where he kind of overshot Judy. It doesn't look like to me he could have caught it. No, he couldn't have got to that one. If you put a little bit more air on it and allowed Judy to run under it, that changed the game. That changed the game. But obviously it was incomplete. We overshot it a little bit. Yeah. But other than that, look, I didn't like you get the ball down there and all of a sudden you run the wildcat.

28:57Shannon Sharpe:You take your door out the field. He can turn around and hand it off. They did that last game too. They did that last game as well. I'm not sure why they're doing that, why they're taking the ball out the quarterback's hands in that moment. They acting like this. What year was it? The Dolphins had that wildcat with Ronnie Brown. Oh, yeah, that was like, yeah, like 2000. Ooh, I want to say 7, 8, 6, 7. God damn, it was that long ago? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not sure why. I'm not sure why the fancies bring that back to, you know, off in the scheme or, I mean, in 2025, I have no idea. But. I mean, they do it sometime to get first downs, but, hey, he could turn around and hand the ball off.

29:41Shannon Sharpe:but anyway look right now I don't believe the browser are good enough offensively I don't think they have good enough talent around them offensively and he's not a guy that's equipped right to he's a rookie there have been very few rookie quarterbacks that's come in that can elevate a team now he can provide your team a spark but in order to elevate a team that is something special that is a that's reserved for the greats of the greats that's a a Brady that's a Manning uh Peyton Manning, that's, you know, Montana. That's for the great, great players. Rookie quarterbacks don't come in and elevate teams.

30:14And one thing also, to piggyback off what you're saying, is all the names you just riddled off, right? Think about the supporting cast that they had on the team they went to. Think about the supporting cast Manning had.

30:26Shannon Sharpe:People don't realize Peyton Manning had Marshall Falk and Marvin Harrison when he got to Indy. Let that sink in. Two first ballot Hall of Famers. If I'm not mistaken, I think Marvin was one of the 100 best players in NFL history. Marshall, one of the guys that, look, he's an MVP, a three-time offensive player of the year. That's what Marshall Falk was. That's what Peyton Manning inherited. And then the next year, guess what he got? They traded Marshall Falk, and he got Edwin James. And then he got Reggie Wayne. He got Dallas Clark. He got Brandon Stokely. They were loaded. So he had pieces around him.

31:00Shannon Sharpe:so to expect Shadour to work magic look he is a working progress he is a rookie quarterback guess what Tom Brady didn't even start didn't even get no playing time as a rookie Patrick Mahomes didn't get any and I'm not saying Shadour Sanders will ever be those guys but I'm just saying we're asking an awful lot of a rookie to come in and play at a level he doesn't really have a whole lot I mean even though Ben came along you look at what Ben had to work with as a rookie. But you know, you have to understand. Ben had Hines Ward, Plexico Birds, Jerome Bettas, an outstanding defense. Shadour does have an outstanding defense, but he doesn't have the offensive weapons.

31:42Shannon Sharpe:I think if I'm not mistaken, he had Willie Parker. So he had a lot more pieces to work with than what Shadour has offensively. Now defensively, I got no qualms with Cleveland Browns. You have to understand when it comes to that last name and the expectations, the last name alone has expectations that come with it. You know, everyone's been talking about him actually starting or him being better. And now that he has the opportunity to do so, we or most people are expecting him being in to change everything drastically right away. It's supposed to be immense improvement. Like Jane Daniels did. Or like C.J.

32:15Stroud, his first year, you know, as when he was with the Houston Texans. And I mean, it's kind of different. Obviously, he is a rookie quarterback. And it's knowing and understanding the game and understanding the supporting cast around him. there's only so much he can do. There's only so much he can do. I agree. And he will get better. And one thing, the only way to get better in this NFL is by getting reps. By getting reps. And in real time, in due time, things will get better. Okay. Ocho, we got to come back to this.

35:23I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything. It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people. If we got clear facts, maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News, reporting for America.

35:52Shannon Sharpe:We got to welcome the game. He led a game-winning drive. He was 19-33, 172 yards of touchdown. And the 27-24 big throw in the Falcons added another 44 yards on the ground. And a score. Here he is. the best dressed man in the NFL. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Tyrod Taylor. TT, what's going on? You're muted. You're muted, Tyrod. What's happening? What's happening? What's up, what? We good, man. Congratulations on the big time. I appreciate it. Bro, tell us what happened. Okay, you back the pants. They got you. They grabbed you by the sleeve. You know you can't wear no loose sleeves like that.

36:31Shannon Sharpe:It was cold out there, man. Hey, you like, hey, I'm going to come up out this sleeve. Hey, you can have this sleeve, but I'm gone. Facts, facts. Nah, it was a crazy play. Leonard Floyd, obviously, great reach. But, yeah, just try to make a play. Obviously, can't take a sack. On a naked, he did a great job of redirecting and getting his hand on me. But at the same time, I can't go down. So, get out of there. I took a shot on that play, but definitely couldn't take the sack, get the ball out of my hands. Yeah, most definitely. What is that feeling like, T-Man? Obviously, things haven't been going that well for the Jets.

37:05You get the opportunity to be at the helm, to be that leader, to be that quarterback of that group despite things going well, everyone talking trash on the outside. What does it feel like to get a win like that today?

37:16Shannon Sharpe:It felt amazing. One thing I'll say about our team all season, we've kind of ignored the outside noise. We haven't blinked. We've been in just about every game that we played, but we just haven't consistently put something together in all three phases. and I think today we was able to do that. So definitely proud of the locker room, the guys we've been through a ton, whether it's been injuries, trades here and there, on the wrong sides of certain games. But, yeah, nobody blinked, and it was good to see the outcome the way it did. Nick Falk hit a great field goal at the end to seal the deal, and it just was a great field goal overall.

37:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Tyrod, look, you came in. And obviously they brought Justin Fields in to be the starter. And you've been a backup since you basically – I mean, you did a great job in Buffalo. People don't realize before Josh Allen, you were the last team to take – you were the last quarterback to take Buffalo to the playoffs. You get to the Chargers. You're about to start. You have a real injury in preseason. You're going to get an injection. They went a little bit too far in, and you get a punch in the lung. And then you're just like, man, am I ever going to get an opportunity to start again? And you get your opportunity.

38:29Shannon Sharpe:but you know you came there kind of to mentor Justin Fields and if your number is called be ready is that is that difficult understanding that this young man like damn he just can't seem to catch a break but I still got to do my damn job it's definitely tough um but at the same time I think that's just part of being a pro um I tell guys all the time I was fortunate when I got drafted to Baltimore to walk into a locker room with so many veteran uh guys you had Anquan you had Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Terrell Silver, even Joe was, I mean, a few years in at the time. And those guys took me under their wings and just told me how to be a pro, how to attack the day each and every day.

39:09Shannon Sharpe:And I think that that ultimately rubbed off on me into how I approach my day to day. And 15 years later, being able to walk into a building, like you say, on one hand, mentoring and teaching the guys, but at the same time, being mentally and physically prepared to go out and lead if called upon. Damn, Tyrod, I didn't realize it's been 15. Tyrod said, I'm going to get 20. What the hell? What the hell is it? I mean, have you set a goal? Have you set? Is there a set number of years? Or you just want to – because it's not like you got a whole lot of wearing gear on your body. Yeah, true that. I never set years.

39:47Shannon Sharpe:I always set as long as I'm enjoying the game. I'm not playing through anything. I throw an injury. I enjoy the preparation of a season. It's still fun. It's still like I'm begging my mom to take me out to the practice field when I was five years old. So, yeah, I never set a year on it. That's dope. And you know what I wanted to ask? I want to go inside the locker room a little bit and talk about the team, the morale, and what Aaron Glenn has been able to tell his players. When things aren't going well, you're losing back-to-back games, most of the games being close games where you guys could have won, but weren't able to put up enough and do enough, you know, consistently offensively, how did he get the players not to, how did he not lose a locker room?

40:31Cause most of the time I've been, you know, on many, many, you know, losing seasons, you know, during my team. He played in Cincinnati Tyrod. We understand. Don't do that. My bad, my bad. I just want to know what did Aaron say to make sure he didn't lose a locker room and have players giving up out there.

40:48Shannon Sharpe:The main thing is just keeping our standard and our brand of football the same. Obviously, this is a results business game, and you want to win week in and week out. But when you're shifting the culture and the guys are so young in the locker room, it's about creating a standard first. I mean, that's about how you practice and learning how to win. A lot of teams in this league don't know how to win. And I would say Coach Klin has done a great job over the course of this year of just keeping the main thing the main thing, not necessarily being results-based, but coming in and asking a certain standard to us day in and day out.

41:24Shannon Sharpe:And guys have responded well. We got a lot of respect for Coach Glenn, and he's a great leader for us. Tyrod, look, the last game you played, I think it was a Thursday night game, and Mitch had some tough drops. He had a couple of plays that he could have made that might have, and A.G. spoke about it after the game. But you didn't seem to have a problem today Because he made a big catch, like a 50-something yard touchdown. He split the seam, and you felt very comfortable. What did you tell him? Because he had to be down on himself because he kind of fell out of favor in the Colts, and he was a part of the package that sent Sauce to Indy.

41:59Shannon Sharpe:He came over to you guys. What did you say to keep his spirits up, to have him to come out and have a game like he did? Yeah, AD is a guy that he knows the type of talent that he has, and he wants to get it right. I mean, he's at the facility to 8 o 'clock on the jugs. catching off the wall. He's always working on his craft. So when you see a guy that put that type of work in, he's intentional about the things he does. And, I mean, everyone has a bad game or off game here and there. But that kid is special. And looking forward to him being a big part of this offense moving forward. You guys are 3-9.

42:37Shannon Sharpe:I don't know if there's a chance that you can sneak into the playoffs. But how do you stay so positive, Tyrod? because you keep mentioning being professional. The process is the process. The standard is the standard. And there's an expectation that as a professional, you must be a pro. Professional, you're an NFL player. A pro is how you go about doing your business on a daily basis, even when things aren't going well. Yeah, the main thing for us is just staying, like I said, sticking to our process day to day, taking it one game at a time. At 3 and 9, not necessarily looking at what the rest of the season looks like.

43:11Shannon Sharpe:Focus on going out and having a great Wednesday this week and being 1-0 this week, not trying to get five in a row. It starts with one game. You can't get five in a row without starting with the first game. So for us, it's about ignoring the noise, and I think we have a good locker room and the type of guys that can do so. And, I mean, at the end of the season, look up and see what we've done. Yeah, I like it. I mean, they got the Dolphins coming up. You know, got the Dolphins coming up. yeah Tyron said we got them we got to start he said you can't get the five in a row until we got the first one so now we got to get the two in a row so we get the two in a row where's that game at?

43:55Shannon Sharpe:they play out there in New York or New Jersey hey you know Dolphins don't like cold water they don't like the cold Tyron they don't like cold water they like cold water they don't like cold weather ain't no Dolphins in no cold weather because if they're cold weather, the water's cold. They're mammals. Last I checked, they ain't got no fur. They ain't got no fur, but they always in cold water. No, they not. Okay, we'll argue about that later. We'll argue about that later. Tyron, thanks for joining us, man. Congratulations on a great win, man. Great game-winning drive to get that dub. Jets moved to 3-9 thanks to a 27-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, man.

44:39Shannon Sharpe:Congratulations. hey get your boy a ticket to the uh uh the met gala all right put a word in for me that's all how you gonna ask him for a ticket to the met gala and we could we supposed to be a team what what once they say give me the call i would say can i get a plus no you supposed to say that off jump man hey get one for me and me and my boy oh oh i can't see if i said both of us you gonna want to bring somebody and i gotta bring you so that's you my plus one i ain't gonna bring you my plus one because I'm not even in the fashion like me and all time. You're not even in the fashion like that.

45:18Shannon Sharpe:You give me my 5900, I would be. I'd give me some Chromeheart or something. Hey Ty, what can I get for 5900 from Chromeheart? Yeah, you okay. Yeah, you right. I ain't in the fashion like that. If that's all I can get, I ain't in the fashion. Tyrod, congratulations, man. Give some rest. Good luck the rest of the season. Stay healthy. And we will talk soon. Love, man. Love. I appreciate that, man. Tyron Taylor joining us. Ocho, back to Cleveland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a situation on the sideline, Ocho, that it seemed like, and this is why I was always conscious, Ocho, of being on the sideline and getting animated.

46:01Shannon Sharpe:Because how is that going to be perceived by the people in the stands or the people that's watching at home when the cameras pick it up? because the camera's going to pick it up. When you start doing this right here, Ocho, and you start doing that, you already know. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, Unk, it's 375 cameras out there now. Absolutely. Wait, hold on. I didn't see that situation. I must have missed that. Yeah, I think it was the start of the fourth quarter, Ocho. And I don't know, but it was the start of the fourth quarter. Who was it? see I was at the cigar bar I was watching multiple games it was Judy and Shadour and at first Shadour was sitting down and then Shadour stood up so like I said I was just always cautious knowing you couldn't hide it because there's fans that's going to be able to see it especially on your side and then the camera's going to pick it up as you start to get animated and you start doing stuff like this oh okay I understand That's the quarterback and receiver talk now.

47:07You know how that go. And sometimes it gets animated like that. And we've seen that. Well, you know how people will take it. They act like they've never seen that a day in their life, you know, with a quarterback and a receiver, you know, being animated, especially in game. But I know exactly what you're talking about. I didn't even see it. And I can already pitch it in my head. Miscommunication, somebody run something wrong or a ball. That happens all the time. But okay, I got you. I got you.

47:32Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Shadour Sanders. was asked to keep trying to trick him, Mocho, on something about Kevin Stefanski. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. You tried to trick him up, huh? How many of those fourth and one, those two fourth and ones that didn't work, and did you like Kevin having the aggressiveness there even backed up in your character? I mean, first, that's a rude question to ask. If I think, you know, it was a great call by my coach, you know? Do you like the aggression? Not do you like the call, but do you like the - I like being out there playing. Yeah. So so so whatever that comes with, it comes with, you know, like, you know, we we're not going to be here and ever point figure out no coach or do anything like that.

48:11You know, that's extremely disrespectful. And that's not even in my place. So I'm thankful for being out there, honestly, and I'm thankful that he trusts us as an offense to be able to go out there and be able to execute. Did we execute? No, we didn't. But, you know, I'm just thankful that we have that trust. hey i mean listen i i understand it and you know what honestly it's up to shador the reporters are going to ask whatever they can ask and see what they can get out of it's his job to be able to answer those questions correctly and be politically correct obviously take a forest coach and not throw his coach under the bus and correct that that's pretty much it so he's he's he's well versed in that area and he's really he's really polished especially when it comes to talking to the media he might not answer the questions like a tom brady you know or drew breeze or peyton manning but he answers them his way in a way that we all understand and it's the correct way

49:06Shannon Sharpe:he answered the question he answers the questions just like you expect a quarterback would they're very pc very bland um now what he did do is something that probably other quarterbacks wouldn't do is that he says, I don't appreciate you trying to, you know, that's rude. Other quarterbacks would have probably said, look, the coach, we run the play that the coaches call. Whatever's sent in, it's our job to make it work, to execute whatever's called. It didn't work. I got no problem. Like you said, he got no problem with what the coach called. And that's how he should answer the call. You have to understand he's been a quarterback his whole life.

49:46Shannon Sharpe:His dad has been an NFL player. His dad has drilled in him, drilled in him, drilled in him. You always take the high road. You never throw anybody under the bus, be it player or coach. So he understands that because he's been groomed to play this position. And a part of being groomed to play this position is know how to speak before and after the games. That is one of the most important. Now, nothing tops playing on the field, so obviously we know that. But what you say, how you say it after and before is very, very important. And he's mastered that. He's mastered that part of saying the right thing, the tone in which he says it.

50:30Shannon Sharpe:You know, he's like, hey, I want to be out there. Yeah, obviously. So I don't have a problem with what he said.

50:41Shannon Sharpe:They just have to get better. They do. They just have to get better. It's hard, right? Because we are all expecting him to come in and just do something phenomenal. And there's so much little for Stefanski to work with. And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, in just the way the team is built in general. There's only so much you can do with what you have in that room, especially offensively. And it's just like it's hard. It's hard. I don't know if there are maybe one or two, maybe three quarterbacks in the NFL that you can take off their team right now and put them on the Browns, and they can look any better than what they do right now.

51:22Based on what you have at your disposal as far as weapons is concerned. It's very, very difficult. It's going to take time. It's going to take time. Because it's going to take pieces. It's going to take hella drafting. Really good drafting. Yeah. really good drafting and key offseason acquisitions before we see any type of change.

51:44Shannon Sharpe:You got to get some playmakers. You got to get playmakers outside of him. And that's what you have. You look at the quarterbacks that consistently, you know, look at Dak. What does Dak have? Look at Jalen Hurts. Look what he got. Look at the – I mean, you got to go get players that can make plays. Can I say something real quick? Can you imagine if you had two number ones over there in Cleveland? Can you imagine? You know? I got a great one for you, Ocho. How does Bryce Young look this year? What? What? Oh, what?

52:22Shannon Sharpe:The man got bitched last year. They go get him some weapons. Let me sit down. Let me sit down. Work it out, man. I ain't going to say that. I'm going to wait until we get to the Panthers. But go ahead. Ocho, Browns D tackle. Shelby Harris says Jawan Jennings was talking dirty while Malik Collins was getting carted off today. Let's take a listen to what Shelby had to say. He's a ho, and I want that known. Like, I see why he got punched in the nuts. Because he says some things that you should not say to another man ever. But, like, I don't respect it because you say that, then run behind your O-line.

52:58Shannon Sharpe:That's some real soft shit, and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched in the nuts. I'm surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet. even Miles Garrett said he was talking spicy he said that ain't how he gets down with eight to each of their own I don't give us a hint that's the thing ain't no context but we talk about on the football field you know how we talk everybody talk trash everybody talk trash and matter of fact that's a part of the game Now, what we can't do, and I don't want to see happen, is now we get sensitive when people out there talking trash. Well, since when? Well, I ain't never talked no trash when somebody got hurt.

53:42Shannon Sharpe:I was very concerned about that. Oh, he was talking trash about somebody getting hurt. I mean, that's what Shelby is leading to. He was talking dirty while Malik Collins was getting carked up. Oh, see, I didn't know that. I thought he was complaining about talking trash in general. We ain't getting in the way with that. They already took some stuff out that you can't say the N-word because I'd have lost all my check because I called somebody about 100 of them. Okay, okay. In please. Now I understand. I understand. He's saying he was talking trash about somebody getting hurt. That you can't do.

54:10You never want to see your brothers go down, whether they're on your team or not. That's a no-no. That's a no-no. I thought he was saying he out there talking trash and hiding behind his old line. No, no, no, no, no, no.

54:20Shannon Sharpe:I ain't got no problem with somebody talking. We're going to talk. I'm going to talk. Let it be known. Let the record clearly states. Shannon Sharp is okay. As long as we keep it above the belt. now i ain't talking about nobody kids now you know if one of your foot's bigger than the other i might mention something about that but but i ain't talking about nobody yeah yeah yeah i ain't gonna talk about nobody's wife right nah never never that baby let me let me let me let me have a boy please but uh but i mean look that i mean you can't really curse on the field no more they you can't say the n-word no more oh you know they still saying that now come on now they they find you ojo they throw a flag that's just that's the way that's the way all all of us talk in general now now you you yeah you get in there trying to change how we culturally express ourselves when it comes to competing like that that's impossible that's impossible no hey hey hey oh y 'all don't have me some great conversation you know hey i was ahead of my time i'm glad they didn't have i'm glad they didn't have the cameras and stuff like we had oh yeah

55:59Hey, hold on. You told somebody that for real?

56:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I was just curious. Ain't no way you were that ugly for real. You got to be playing. That's a good one. That's a good one. Wait, this during the game? Yeah. Okay, okay. Hey, hey, you know what? honestly i mean you you might be up there with you know one of the top two trash talkers in the world man yeah you yeah you might be up there oh oh i'm way way way up yeah yeah i mean i've always i've always been quick hey my girl used to always say boy somebody go hit that boy in this global

Boy, who you telling? One thing about it. One thing about it. It's how you get ready for the week. You got to make sure you got to prepare them for the week. Yeah, that's how you're going to work. Damn, man. Hey, them things have you three peating. Three? Boy, I'm talking about five. I'm talking about five. I have. Mate, come on man. Well listen, I'm one of these, I feel like I'm 18 again. I know, but Ocho, you can't do that to - Man, you know, I prep, I prep during the show.

57:31You put that under your tongue. So listen, I'm gonna let it sit and dissolve throughout the whole show when the show end. Yeah. You know what time it is? You trying to end her?

57:43Shannon Sharpe:You trying, man, you trying to - Oh no, she gonna - you trying to mess up the other carriage insurance yeah she got insurance yeah we good we good we good lord have mercy i'm sorry cambodia

58:02Shannon Sharpe:but you you in for one tonight damn let me start stretching that Oh, Joe. An anonymous defender revealed to the media that Jennings was talking about wives and children. And I said, they got to keep going. But hold on. Now, when you go that far, that means not only is it personal, but he really don't care nothing about whoever he's talking about. And, you know, all gloves is off. Most of the time when somebody goes that route. Oh, yeah. All gloves off. I don't know. I'm sure he'll have a reason as to why he went that far. Because most of the time when it comes to trash talk, we keep family out of it.

58:50Always. Oh yeah, for sure. Unless it's personal. Now if it's personal, that's the only time people go to talking about kids and wives and all that. And probably he probably didn't even know any people wife. He probably didn't even know any people kids. He just using it as a vice to get up under their skin.

59:06Shannon Sharpe:Dude told me he hate me and my brother.

59:15Shannon Sharpe:I said my brother ain't got nothing to do with this. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Yeah, he just talking. He just talking.

59:25Shannon Sharpe:I said, well, damn. I said, what my brother do to you? I said, besides that, I get why you hate me. I'm out here kicking your ass. I get that. My brother didn't even know you. you gotta start don't worry about it before it happens there's certain things like when people start talking about your wife and your kids on the field catch the right guy on the wrong Sunday they gonna take off when you're right on the field right there and I got no you talk about a man's wife and his kids and like Shelby Harris said, yeah, he see he got hit in the private. I'm surprised somebody ain't going to a jump. Mm-mm, nah.

1:00:19Shannon Sharpe:Somebody gonna have to, hey, he catch the wrong, like I said, he gotta catch the wrong guy, because hey, you might say something on the field, you don't know how somebody take it, they see you out and they pull their step to you. You know, and everybody cross paths in the offseason now. Yeah. Everybody cross paths now. And you beat up a guy. You got to be careful. You got to be careful.

1:00:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Chos. Oh, Chos, Tommy Knights. We're about to upset it today. The Rams enter the game with the NFC's best record, but drops now the team that has the NFC's best record, the Chicago Bears, who hold the tiebreaker in the conference. The Rams are still a game up on the 8-4 Eagles and also hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. So right now it's the Bears, the Rams, the Eagles, the Bucs, Seahawks, Pat, and the 49ers. The Lions are currently out of the playoffs if the playoffs were to start today. Matthew Stafford kind of looked like the Detroit Matthew Stafford. The turnover was what did him in. He threw a pick six.

1:01:34Shannon Sharpe:He was late on the out route. What we say, Chad, if you laid on the out route, it's a reservation. He called ahead. They're going to have your table set up for six. He turned the ball over. He, by himself, had three turnovers. That was the difference in the ball game. He was 18-28, 243, two touchdowns, two interceptions. a strip sack that was allowed. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I talk about my Panthers. I had to take that row out my mouth real quick because I was stuttering a little bit. Hey, Chad, Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers that I said would be the dark horse and team to watch.

1:02:13This season will surprise everybody. Bryce Young today, he was 15 for 20. Three TDs, 206 yards. Hubbard, 17 carries for 93. Jalen Coker way to make your presence felt today boy every week is somebody different. He was foe But he was foe he had foe for 74 with a TD Hey

1:02:38Shannon Sharpe:McMillan had one yeah 43 and a touchdown Chuba Hubbard two for 41 on the touchdown What I told you about them Panthers, huh? Everybody laughed at me in August I remember the date August 25th if I'm not mistaken August 25th. I told y 'all I I understood what the Panthers were doing when I saw what they did in the draft when I saw what they did in the offseason and Understanding how Bryce young play going towards the end of the season I already knew coming next year that momentum that confidence that Bryce had after he got benched It was going to carry over into the following year including with the weapons They gonna be the goddamn team to watch in the team to beat I Enjoy it and I'm gonna say it again like I said way back then y 'all boys keep pounding keep on pounding I'm not even I'm not even I'm not even you remember the game that he who did he play with it the Falcons that he went to the faculty through for 454 yards y 'all keep saying it's one game but right now he's who said it was one game they won the same number game they won the same number game as the Detroit Lions they won one more game than the Cowboys and they beat the Cowboys so what what what are we saying somebody in the chat talking slick talk about one game or just yeah yeah they're talking about brights y 'all better y 'all better do your homework do your homework now come on man what you talking about man i told they did it look brian for a forbes jr for the rams you owe you you owe your team bro emmanuel you owe you for Forbes Brian for I think Forbes jr.

1:04:18Shannon Sharpe:For the the Rams the DB e4 Yeah, that's the manual manual Forbes he oh Ocho he oh fourth down touchdown fourth down touchdown you can't give him touchdown the fourth down you can't I mean I thought it was rerun just in that truck what's happening now but the chat ain't gonna know that that reference. They don't know. Ain't nobody holding up. Ain't nobody in the chat holding up. Nobody what's happening.

1:04:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but no, no, the Carolina's playing really well. They got a chance to win that division. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Not only they, because they got the same. They have the same number of wins as Tampa. So and they get Tampa again. it. So they could they could easily win that division. And I think I think people are overlooking the Panthers this year. They're winning games man. What the hell? Go ahead Elgado.

1:05:29Can you still hear me though? I hear you. I don't I don't know why people are overlooking the Panthers maybe because they've been bad in the past. so they're not giving them the respect, their due respect because of who they are. But when you break it down in perspective on the number of wins they've had and where they, same records as the Cowboys, they just don't have the hype behind. They don't have the hype train behind them. So the only people that are talking about them are those that are actually Carolina Panther fans. But at the end of the day, when you bring everything to light as a whole, They're just as good with a chance to win their goddamn division

1:06:12Shannon Sharpe:They must be like they only they gotta be on there coming on their bye week this week They got they got 13 games already played So they they gotta be on coming on the bye week like with the 49ers or something How the hell they gonna be on a bye week in the season almost over? Ocho they seven to six everybody else nine and three ten and two On honest building by week with the 49ers the 49ers by week up this week today honestly if I done play this many games I wouldn't I wouldn't even want no bye week this damn late in the season honestly me personally

1:06:48what you want huh what you want I wouldn't want no bye week this late you want to keep playing I want my week off we playing too well to take a week off forget that they should have had their bye week week 6 week 7

1:07:07Shannon Sharpe:that's a lot of games to play throughout I mean this thing if you had like you said if you had your bye week week three week four week five and now you gotta no I say no you know what Ocho get that get refreshed get your mind recharged hey you got a week off get out of here hey if you need hey get your day of treatment then get out of here go somewhere nice and warm take the missus somewhere take mama somewhere hey ask your in-laws or your mom can they watch the kids you an old lady dip that ain't what I did but I'm saying that's what y 'all should do we wasn't getting no week off though man we got Friday, Saturday, Sunday had to be back Monday same same we ain't getting no time off like that but no Carolina's playing good they ran the ball 40 times for 164 yards Chuba Hubbard was running extremely hard today Rico Dowdle, 18 for 58, didn't have a big-time day.

1:08:06Shannon Sharpe:But when the Rams tried to get the ball back, they're like, nah, we ain't going to get back to you. Stop us if you can. And they couldn't. But like you said, Ocho, the team that you said, the Chicago Bears, they're the number one seed. And the Carolina Panthers have an absolute chance to win their division and make the playoffs.
