In short
Debate and sports news roundup on “game changer” quarterback opinions, plus NFL coaching rumors, NBA uniform rules, and a snowboarding milestone.
Guests/backgrounds
The episode is hosted by Ocho (former NFL player Chad Johnson) and “Unc” (T.O./Shannon Sharpe). They discuss NFL and NBA topics from a player/analyst perspective. No additional guests appear in the transcript.
Key claims
- Asante Samuel criticized Cam Newton, saying Cam wasn’t a “game changer,” arguing Cam was mainly a big runner; Samuel also suggested Cam’s comments about Drake Maye being a “game changer” are more valid.
- The hosts argue opinions are fine, but attacking a player’s career is different from critiquing play.
- Browns coaching: Kevin Stefanski is widely rumored to be fired; prediction is Andrew Berry stays GM and Stefanski coaches elsewhere.
- NBA: Jalen Suggs was told he can’t wear a headband around his neck.
- Snowboarding: Kokomo Murase became the first woman to land a 1620.
Notable examples
- Cam Newton’s rookie success (rookie of the year, MVP, Super Bowl appearance; early career 400+ passing yards in first two games).
- Gerald McCoy’s “game changer” impact before a 2018 shoulder injury.
- Discussion of NFL coaching “lifetime contract” expectations and examples like Kurt Warner and Tom Brady.

2:38Shannon Sharpe:Lenovo, Lenovo. Oh, Joe. So, Asante Samuel tweeted, he doesn't think Cam was a game changer. He tweeted, honestly, Cam Newton was a game changer. He was just a big guy that could run the ball. Not much talent in that. Oh, hey, now they finna go at it. Hey, listen, this finna be classic, boy. This finna be classic. So, you know, Cam gonna go on the fourth and one. He finna break down whatever it is he needs to break down. You know, Cam ain't letting nothing go. Cam ain't letting nothing go. Nothing at all. But listen, I mean, Cam Newton is more than just a game changer. He's one of the most prolific quarterbacks, dual threat quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen.
3:25Obviously, he did it at Auburn. He did it in the NFL, made it to a Super Bowl. Obviously, he wasn't able to accomplish that feat in winning one, but he was able to make it, and he was the face of a franchise. so I mean I'm not sure you know what's going on with Zant and Cam but I don't know
3:46Shannon Sharpe:this is what he also added I'm on Cam Nick I don't want to hear him talk down to no one on none of the top quarterbacks let's ride tag Cam you could have tagged him oh you think you think maybe because he's been talking about Jalen Hurts and stuff like that so he I guess that's He said, Cam cries no one wants to sign him because he thinks he's like that. So delusional. Cam, you can run because you're a big brother. How many years was Cam a game changer? Please tell me. Maybe one year?
4:22Shannon Sharpe:This notion. Well, if that's the case, only Tom Brady, Manning, Elway, Marino, Montana can talk about any quarterbacks. If we're just going to allow the top quarterbacks to talk about top quarterbacks, ain't nobody going to be on TV. Nobody but Tom Brady. Only Tom Brady because he's the only one that's on television. I think Drew's calling games now. Tony Romo. I mean, he's going to be. No, Tony Romo wasn't no damn. You think he could talk about quarterbacks No, they can't? No. With a rookie of the year, an MVP lead a team to the Super Bowl and Romo never led a team to an NFC championship game?
5:06Shannon Sharpe:Oh, hell no. You're right. But hold on. Dan Olowski does it? If Dan can do it, then... I don't have any problems because guys that played the game, but I thought for the longest we wanted guys to play the game to be able to critique us. You guys, they used to hate that guys that never played the game was talking about people that was actually playing the game. What is this? Because when I first got to CBS, they make it seem like because I didn't play the quarterback position, I couldn't have an opinion on the quarterbacks. No. I don't.
5:54Shannon Sharpe:I guess he said because I guess, I guess Asante hurts that cam said that he doesn't think Drake may is a game changer. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So Sont coming to the defensive Drake may, um, I mean, are we not allowed to have opinions? We are. We are. You can say, I believe chase is the best receiver, man. You hate no Jetta. You hate no JSN. No, no, no. Why can't I think? I mean, the whole thing, the way this thing works, it only works. Television, radio, pods only works. If you just go say, I'll take both of them. Well, anybody at the water cooler that's getting water at a time can say that.
6:38Shannon Sharpe:You want people that's played the game, that's played, and you can disagree with that person. But what do they think? There's a reason why you tune in to these shows. There's a reason why you might not like him, but you tune in to hear what they're going to say, even if you just so you can criticize it. That's the way it is. Look, I ain't got no problem. You weren't that good. I've said it before. I think the two best tight ends to ever play the game was Kelsey and Gronk. I give a slight nod to Kelsey because I've never seen someone be as clutch. I mean, you look at his numbers. the seven 1 ,000-yard seasons for a tight end.
7:20Shannon Sharpe:Seven. Seven. He had an opportunity to get eight, but he sought out. So he could have had – that's what a wide receiver does. You look at the catches. You look at the yards. You look at the touchdowns. He's with Jerry Rice. Yeah, the playoff production, yeah. He and Dronk, big time, they came up in big moments, and that's why I give them the nod. No tight ends came through in big moments when it mattered the most more than those two guys. And I think, look, I love Gates. I think Gates on Mount Rushmore. Ozzie and Big Kellen, Gonzo. But I don't got no problem. I did what I did. Hey, listen. I don't have a problem.
8:03Shannon Sharpe:I don't have a problem. Guys have an opinion. And I don't think we should get mad and just call Cam. Hey, Cam, bro, I don't agree with that one. and then maybe go on Cam's show or Cam can come on your show. But, you know, obviously, this is the time that we're in now. This makes for great content. This makes for great content, and now we get to have a verbal war based on opinions where Asante doesn't agree with Cam and Cam's going to fire back at Asante based on what he thinks and his view. But if Asante really felt like that, he should have tagged Cam. Don't say somebody tag him. You tag him.
8:41You said it. That's the whole point. That's the whole point. I don't want to tag him. I want them to tag him because that is the Oh, you want him to hear about it.
8:50Shannon Sharpe:So in other words, you want to, hey, you whistling, but you, hey, when you come. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want everybody jumping on this thing. Get the ball rolling. Listen, it's great. It's content. Content creating. That's all it is. And I like it. I like it. I like it. I can't wait to see what Cam come back with. Them two, they finna go back at it for a while. Ocho, you can have that, but why would you try to attack Cam's career? You see, you can have an opinion. But now you're attacking when was he a game changer? Ever since he got in the league. We gotta stop Cam Newton. I look at anybody that you build your defense to stop, he's a game changer.
9:37Of course he was a game changer. Maybe he used the wrong word, because when you think of Cam Newton. He said, how
9:45Shannon Sharpe:many years was Cam a game changer? Please tell me. Maybe one. Teams built their defense to stop Cam. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be interesting. Look, that's his opinion. I thought Cam was unbelievable. Got that team to a Super Bowl. They got to the playoffs. He was rookie of the year. He's the first quarterback. He's the only quarterback. His first two games he threw for over 400 yards. As a matter of fact, those are the only two times he's ever thrown for 400 yards with his first two games of his career as a rookie. There ain't a whole lot of rookies that's ever thrown for 400 yards, let alone open the season.
10:26Shannon Sharpe:A rookie of the year, an MVP. Well, like I said, he can have his opinion.
10:37Shannon Sharpe:Critique what Cam said. But then when you start to see Harrison Payne, when you start when you if I was like oh man Ocho man I don't know I think I got this guy over Ocho man Ocho ain't went with one promo Ocho ain't had but one all pro now I'm attacking Ocho now I'm attacking Ocho's career it's not about Ocho's career attack what I said I don't gotta attack Ocho personally I ain't gotta attack no one's personally if I got a different opinion I ain't I ain't got to attack him personally. That's the only thing.
11:17Shannon Sharpe:He has the right to say whatever he wants to say. He has a platform, and that's why you see a lot more of these platforms popping up because guys want their voices heard. They want their opinion heard. Where I, you know, I'm going to say this one out, when you start attacking the man's career person. Yeah. Hey. Someone that faced Cam a lot was Gerald McCoy. He was a game changer his entire career until 2018 versus Pittsburgh when he tore his shoulder up. He was never the same after that. We planned all about him, not the scheme. The scheme was basic. He was the scheme. The couple of years he played with Steve, we game planned for him.
11:55Shannon Sharpe:But after that, even with Greg, I mean Greg Olson, our only focus was Cam. He played with young C-Max, so it wasn't him yet. but dog stepped his foot on the league and as a game changer people forget what he was doing man go watch him versus the patriots in 2013 and you tell me he wasn't again listen you know cam was him cam was him i mean they're there yeah a blind a blind man can see that so uh the game changer thing i mean it's ridiculous when he was the franchise he was that guy for a very for for a very long time and obviously the person that is the game changer is the one that the teams have the game plan for and when you play the carolina panthers when cam newton was a quarterback you game planning yes stop him stop cam absolutely absolutely not just because he had no tom brady or no peyton manning or no ben roethlisberger career doesn't mean he's a game it wasn't a game changer.
12:59Yeah, his game was completely different.
13:01Shannon Sharpe:First of all, everybody doesn't have how I want to say this. Like Brady and Jerry, normally there are peaks, Ocho. You have about the really, really good players that have a five, probably about a five to a seven year window, eight year window where they're here. You get a guy like a Jerry and he got 15 years of here. You get Brady who got like 20 years are here. I mean, that's normally how it goes. It's hard. Aaron Donald was the only guy that came in whipping ass, left whipping ass and said, I'm done whipping ass. But everybody don't have no career like that. You know what else you would need to ask?
13:43You would have to understand also for Asante to say what he's saying, what's his criteria for being a game changer? Maybe his criteria might be different than everyone else's where he feels Cam wasn't a game changer. So his criteria might be different so i mean hey listen it's it's so many layers to that if they trying to stop if they
14:05Shannon Sharpe:trying to stop you if they build their game plan to stop you i guaranteed you i guarantee you everybody that faced the carolina panthers so the better question was let's go ask defensive coordinators so when you played the carolina panthers from 2012 uh until 20 let's just say 2018. What was your mission?
14:42Shannon Sharpe:Stop Tom. I mean stop Cam. Yeah. I mean that's it. The man got to the Pro Bowl. Look at his receivers that he took to the Pro Bowl. I know what? I didn't want to go there. I didn't want to go. I ain't want to go there, but I'm going to let you do it. Everybody. He was damn near a one-man show, huh? Hold on. Yes. He was the one-man show at Auburn. Thank you. Tell me how many of those offensive guys played in the NFL. Damn, that's a good one. I can't remember that whole squad. I just need to thank you. Look, it's just gotten to the point now that you really can't have an opinion. If you have an opinion, they say you hating.
15:31Shannon Sharpe:So, me, I'm going to keep on hating. Because when y 'all look at it, resume complete. Go punch holes in it. Well, you didn't catch no – Ocho, you don't even tell me? Well, you ain't cabbing like five, six passes in the Super Bowl. What game was that? How many passes I caught in what game? Mm-hmm. Oh, oh, that one. Okay. What's the objective? Oh, okay. All I know, you go look at the 90s, go see who the all-decade team for the 90s are. You own now? I bet you the guy from Savannah State on there. Okay.
16:13Shannon Sharpe:That's all I know. All that other stuff, I don't know. I don't know who the tight end was in the 80s. Well, I think it was Kellen and Ozzie. Y 'all say whatever. But when I left, Ocho, you see all these? I had all the records. I had all of them. Most yards, most catches, most touchdowns, most yards in the game, most Pro Bowls, most All Pro. I had all. Now, yeah, somebody came and got it just like Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson used to have all the records. Now Taylor Swift and Drake and Weekend have passed them. That's all I know. I got me some records too now. You know, I want to share what to Shabby during my day now.
16:58You got six probos. Yeah, yeah. You got all three of them. I got three all pre-op. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I got all. What are they talking about? I got all the records with the bangles as a receiver. Shoot, what are we talking about? I think Chase is going to break that. Yeah,
17:19Shannon Sharpe:yeah, yeah. Hey, but guess what, Ocho? You had them. there are a lot of people that ain't had no records to break. Come on now. Man, such and such. Okay. I get it. Okay. You want to say such and such better than me. I ain't finna argue. Gronk, whoever you say. Now what about you? Hey, somebody said I ain't got no ring though. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I do got a ring. What you talking about? What? Boy, look at this. Boy, you see this? You see that right there? This ain't no Super Bowl worth this. what what you talking about man oh hold on but you see they do also you see how they did what they do you now when you when you win when you if you win they say subo is a team goal okay not going to get somebody in the chat just said you ain't got no ring boy i got me one right here but cost more than any super bowl ring but i stopped playing on me but you see this huh that you see that huh that overcut man stop playing me but you talk about so but by thing I look like I said I don't have any problem with cam critiquing yeah quarterbacks I don't have any problem with Asante Samuel but just let's just say talk about what cam said don't talk about cams career because he I mean you don't I mean do I have to be I ain't no doctor but I know my damn head hurt I I don't know I ain't no doctor ain't with not one bad school but don't you I know when I'm sick now I might not know to do the extent of my sickness but I know I'm sick so if you want to critique somebody look I would say I was like man that's your bro what do you you talking all this talk what did you do those that can't do those that can't teach okay but after being in this space I'm like let everybody have their opinion.
19:12Shannon Sharpe:Who am I to say what they can or can't say? Have your opinion. I may disagree with your opinion. We might have a differing of opinions based on my experience based on and that's all what Ocho and I really try to do is that we try to take a situation. I felt real comfortable talking about Trayvon Diggs because I had seen similar situations. And what irks me about people that's a grown man he should they not go into the playoffs he should be alive bro it don't work like that when you on company time man you can't do what you do that's that street stuff we need to start with that food you sound ridiculous i mean hold on and not when you're making that kind of money when you're making that kind of money you got to play the game different you got to play the game within the game yes that's all that's all um but like i said asante i ain't got no problem with Asante.
20:08Shannon Sharpe:He got upset with us, Ocho. We was talking about him in time. That's his opinion. He has an opinion that he thinks Drake May is a game changer. Cam does not. Critique what Cam said. Okay, this is why I don't think Cam is correct. When I look at Drake May and I look at what he's done, X, Y, and Z, but the moment you bring in Cam's career, you're trying to invalidate him and try to make his opinion less valid. And that's where you lose me with that. Ocho, I ain't no foreign policy expert, but I know what happened late last night or early this morning and everybody know why it happened. Yeah. Hey, you know how many barrels they got out there, boy?
21:06Shannon Sharpe:that's why they did it it was never about no fentanyl it was never about no cocaine come on now and the man stepped to the mic and told you why so they got oil and we got it and we gonna run it and our companies exxon uh uh mobile chevron go we're not gonna do that we're not gonna talk about politics tonight go ahead so show but I can see I can see everybody can see yes the biggest gangsters in the world but I just hate that I don't like that because I wonder how we would feel if somebody in Russia with Putin or Xi Jinping or China came in and tried to snatch and say you know what we don't want him we want X-Men Cleveland Browns appear to have said to hire a new coach Hi, Uncle Lazer here.

Louis Kurt Warner with a two-time league MVP a Super Bowl MVP taking a team to two Super Bowls They moved on got Mark Bolger Yeah, and hey this it is business Tom Brady is great as he was 20 years nine Super Bowl appearances six wins with four MVPs They don't play.
26:40Shannon Sharpe:No matter who you are. That's why I don't understand. Normally that's reserved for coaches, Ocho. A Coach Smith, a Coach K, Coach Summit. I had the great opportunity to meet Coach Summit a couple times in New York and she was flying back. Who's that? Normally, if you don't run a foul, you don't do anything crazy. Coach Schembechler stayed as long as he wanted in Michigan. Cooper, John I think it was Cooper, wasn't he the coach at Ohio State but he could have stayed until they threw that pick in the Gator Bowl and he swung on a guy from Clemson and said nah Cooper you gotta go you gotta go, I'm sorry Woody Hayes, Woody Hayes, that's who it was Coach Hayes, but for the most part Ocho, they allow you to stay, especially in college you know the drummers started getting a little loud for Coach vilden uh they started getting a little loud for coach joe pa because they felt that he oversaw and he knew things and he allowed it to happen x y and z so right so but for the most part yeah you know it's the way it is it's a this is a business especially in the nfl as players you know fans always preach all this be loyal and all that man listen man stop playing them folk don't care nothing about you as long as you as long as you of of a value value as long as you have a value but and for every all-time leave russia what did they do for the service i think emmy played his last two years elsewhere yeah arizona right he did arizona yes yeah that's crazy i read something ocho they said you can find you can tell if a woman how loyal a woman is by if the man doesn't have anything.
28:27Shannon Sharpe:Take your time, man. You can tell a man how loyal he is to a woman if he has everything. Take your time. So you'll find out how loyal a team is to you. When you're no longer any value. When all of a sudden you can't reduce. Okay. Boy, it ain't even Sunday. You talking like that. Come on, man. Just saying. That's what they say. I don't know how it is. Y 'all chime in. women you will be loyal to the man if you don't have anything man will you be loyal to the woman if you have everything cause you already know if you ain't got you ain't gonna be able to get what you get not today that's a different type of show okay what do we have Ocho Jalen Suggs has been informed by the NBA he can no longer wear a headband around his neck I mean I like it You might as well go ahead and shave all that thing And let it go Wait He got the windows up on the side A young bull got a Joe in Jefferson Yes How old is he About 24 How old is he He is like 24 He's not 24 With his hair growing back like that Yes it is He is.

30:05Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, no. That's his hair. His hair is really thinning in the top like that. At 24? Yes. Hey, he got to go to Turkey, huh? You know Turkey? Turkey got the king of trans. Oh, they got that thing? Oh yeah, in Turkey? I wish they had whatever method, whatever procedure it is they have in Turkey. I wish somebody here in the States did it. They have it, but the follicle just cost more. For real? Yes. So it's the same. All they're doing is taking it from the back and putting it in the top. Hold on, I ain't even got... That's the only thing. I got a problem. I ain't even got shit in the back. Well, you definitely don't want no pubic hair in your head, do you?

I think the NBA is a little bit more lenient. I think when it comes to fashion and style based on your dress code, but I think the wristband around the neck, they're going to draw the line there. They're going to draw the line there. And eventually he's going to have to be like LeBron.
32:55Shannon Sharpe:You see how LeBron just let it go. LeBron said, I'm tired of fighting. Oh, he cut it off? he cut it down low yeah yeah it's basically a skin fade all the way hey it happened bro so you want a hair full of hair

It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Hey, matter of fact, I'll wait to this. Let's go back.
47:24I got one. You know, you grew up in the country.
47:28Shannon Sharpe:I did. You grew up on the farm. I did. So, since you know about farming and stuff like that, you know about cows. how does a farmer what does the farmer use to count his cows what does he use they normally put tags on eggs yeah
47:52what do you mean that's not what a farmer uses what do you use a cap there you go calculator
48:02Shannon Sharpe:i do
48:14You get it? A calculator?
48:16Shannon Sharpe:Yes, I do get it. Hey, that was a good one. That was a good one. Oh, that was a classic. Hey, I'm going to get me a Netflix special for dad jokes, man.
48:29Shannon Sharpe:You going to get you a Netflix special? Yeah, a Netflix special? Straight dad jokes.
48:43Oh, that was funny.
48:45Shannon Sharpe:Jags play. Okay. Jags play the Titans and Houston play the Colts.
48:54Shannon Sharpe:I don't know why I was thinking the Jags would go play. Oh, they played the Colts last week. Kibber Northwood Jr. Man, Unc Ocho highlights are more exciting than the 49ers defense. Man, the 49ers didn't have it tonight. They didn't. They did not have it tonight. Give the Seahawks credit. Their defense, their offense was clicking on all cylinders, and Sam Darnold didn't turn the football over. They're going to be a tough out. They're going to be a tough out. Elprate98, Ocho, happy birthday to French Fry. Would you gentlemen please wish my daughter, Lamia, a happy birthday. She turned six. My girls love you guys.
49:33Shannon Sharpe:Whenever the show comes on, they scream, Hey, Dad, Ocho and them are on. Yes, Lamia, happy sixth birthday. Hopefully you had some fun, cake, ice cream, some balloons. You got an opportunity to go to Chuck E. Cheese, do all the fun things that little six-year-old girls love to do. Got a makeup kit, got some dolls, easy bake oven. I don't even know they make easy bake ovens anymore. But if they did, hopefully you got one. Happy sixth birthday, Lamia.
50:00Shannon Sharpe:Happy birthday. To an infamous, the number one seed. baby. Also, Sam Donald didn't turn the ball over once. If he continues to play like this, you're absolutely right. That's the only thing that really concerns me, scares me about you guys, is that he has 20 turnovers. Turn the ball over in the playoffs, Eagles, Bears, play 49ers, play the Rams again, probably going to go home. Even if it's not a scooping score, you might take points off the board or you might put your defense in harm's way by setting the opposing offense up on a short field. Go, Birds, 800. So the Eagles don't have a defense either.
50:42Shannon Sharpe:Bruh, please. Seattle got a good offense and Philly got a good defense. Both defenses are playing all-time high. I trust my quarterback over Sam. Yeah, when your quarterback's playing well, but he hadn't played well this year. And you never know what, listen, the Eagles this year, they've been up and down. They've been up and down. They have. You don't know which offense you're going to get. Defense has been steady the whole time, but you just never know what offense you're going to get depending on who you're playing. And if you're playing the Seahawks, which has a really good defense, that's where the difficulties come into play where what Eagles offense am I going to get today?
51:21Shannon Sharpe:And the Eagles offensive line, I don't know if Lane Johnson is going to be back. I don't know. Maybe they activate him or whatever the case may be. But the offensive line has not been as dominant. They haven't been able to run the football, and I don't know if you can keep them guys off you if you can't run the football. And we saw that tonight. Purdy was under immense pressure because they had no ability to run the football with McCaffrey and Robinson. So you got your work cut out for them. But, hey, if that matchup were to happen, I look forward to it.
51:54Shannon Sharpe:Ocho from Miami Tourism here. My wife and I checked out the MyKai restaurant on your recommendation, and it was affordable. and an absolute blast. See, I told you. I told you. Anything, listen, anything I ask you to do when you come to Miami is going to be affordable because I live way below my means. Therefore, our lifestyles are completely the same. So when it comes to having a good time, I'm always going to give you things that you can enjoy. The Mai Kai, Chef's Kiss. So next time you come back, I got some more places you got to try that are a blast. Shook, for offensive rookie of the year, what do you think about my Saints drafting Jeremiah Love with the first pick?
52:37Shannon Sharpe:And Ocho, I'll give you the belt in Madden or college football 26. Yeah, look, they're going to get a running back. Now, I don't know if they're going to take one in the first round, but they're going to get a running back out of this draft. Who knows? There might be one available. Who knows? Javante Williams, if the Cowboys don't re-sign him, he'll be available. He'll be a nice pick. There will be some guys, Rico Dowdle. We'll see what Carolina does with him. All that being said, I don't know if they'll take a running back in the first round, but they're definitely going to get a running back.
53:10Shannon Sharpe:I don't see a scenario where Alvin Kamara is back. They need a running back, probably get an offensive lineman. Look, the Saints, they're like, look, the way we're playing, I believe they think they got their quarterback, Ocho. They got Olave. They got Jawan Johnson. get a running back offensive line they might be in biz they might be in biz hey Ocho we're not the podcast Olympics and we'll see Johnny at quarterback hopefully you read this otherwise I'll beat up Ocho love the show are we looking at late spring early summer hey listen that's gonna be one for the ages boy
53:55Shannon Sharpe:OG underscore score Thanos 26, will the Panthers pick up Bryce Young's fifth-year option? And in this game, where Brandon Iyuk would have made an impact. Yes, I think that's what they're going to do. They're more apt to pick up the fifth-year option instead of making a long-term$200, $250,$300 million commitment. Let's see if he can play. He has some positive sets. He has some lows. I mean, he threw for $266 today. Not bad, given those conditions. but he's had a 400 yard game. He's played extremely well in spots this year. Let's let this thing play out. I mean, it's not like $26 million is chump change.
54:36Shannon Sharpe:I mean, listen, it's chump change based on what the top quarterbacks are making out. Correct. But like you said, you don't believe he's the top quarterback so he shouldn't command that. No, he's safe. 30, 35. Yeah. I mean, I don't think either one of us will have him in the top 15. No, but he's good for the Carolina Panthers. He's good for what they're trying to do. All they have to do is continue to build peace around them. They're going to be all right. Caleb Robinson, 6605. Seattle defense is sensational. Happy for Sam Darnold. Finally won a big game. Love this show. Thank you, guys. Yes, he needed this one.
55:16Shannon Sharpe:Look, he put together because he did, you know, remember what he did to the Rams on that Thursday night? Came back, made some big time throws, turned the ball over, but he made some big-time throws. But this was the game because this was for the number one seed and the division. So he put to bed. That's the thing. You put it to bed, but it's not over because guess what? He got the playoffs, and he got to perform in those situations as well. Dandy, Handy, Mandy. If Ocho and T.O. did a full NFL combat right now, who would win? Me. T.O. A. T.O. in shape too, boy. T.O. you know T.O. plays pickleball full time you know what I heard him say that he take it serious serious but that's all T.O.
56:03Shannon Sharpe:know how to do he ain't gonna do nothing he ain't gonna take serious he ain't gonna do anything you play pickleball yeah I play pickleball but you know I'm a soccer guy on the weekends I play soccer like you know football field or regular field I play on the big field I play up top. I'm the striker. Sometimes I play on the wing.
56:27Shannon Sharpe:Gary Morrell, 1882, which is better? If the Saints lose to the Panthers, go in. But if the Bucs win, go in. But if the Saints win, shook, and the replacements, are the Saints and NFC easily south? The Saints can't make the playoffs. It's between Carolina and Tampa. So there's nothing the Saints can do that can get into the playoffs. If the Saints win, Carolina goes. If the Saints lose, Tampa goes. Those are the only two scenarios, bro. I'm sorry. TS Carwise Detail, NFL MVP right now. Yeah, I would say Yoki's too, but he's going to miss too many games. He's going to probably be under the 65-game threshold.
57:12Shannon Sharpe:Damn. So you can't win. You can't win MVP. You can't get any all honors or anything like that. If you know who's going to win it, then I can tell you that. Probably Shea. Shea going to win it again. Right, right. Okay, yeah. The Bucs need the Saints to win. If the Saints win, the Bucs are in. If the Falcons win, Carolina. You know Carolina going to be in, so. Hey, man, you know that's a matchup. Hey, they don't love it. You know how Atlanta and Saints feel about each other. They hate each other, boy. Bands for Zion. Cliff got to go. D.C. Seattle did a Cliffy that one day. Five Kingsbury now commanders.
57:53Shannon Sharpe:14 personnel. One running back. Four tight ends. No wide receivers. Apologize. I mean, you've been hearing that a lot lately. But look. Cliff can only do so much. J.D. got to stay healthy. He's another three-and-frame quarterback, but he's got to stay healthy. His rookie year, he stayed healthy. They went to the NFC championship game. This year, he was in and out of the lineup. Mariota is a good backup, but you're not going anywhere with Mariota.
58:28Shannon Sharpe:PJ11, OG from the Ravens fan. Another please help me understand how the defense is so bad when they go crazy eight in practice and training camp. Bring me Flores or Jesse Miller. Give hard by the boot. They can't rush the quarterback. and when you can't rush the quarterback your back end is not that good to write home about anyway so now it gets exacerbated yeah they're tied in front four, back four they work hand in hand and right now the front four is not good enough yep, it don't matter who coaching that coaching can't help also revamp the O-line, D-line and get another corner or two Marlon Humphrey not cutting it no more Yeah, he's struggling.
59:14I mean, look, he's slowing down a little bit.
59:22Shannon Sharpe:Injuries a little bit, getting nicked here and there. That's a big salary. I don't know if they bring him back at that number. It might be a situation where they can meet in the middle and work something out. But they definitely got to get past rushers. That's what they need. They need more than they need that. Kali1234 I'm still not impressed I'm still not impressed with Bryce Young's arm I think his arm is adequate yeah ain't nothing wrong with his arm he ain't no Josh Allen he ain't Aaron Rodgers, he ain't Brett Favre he can get the ball and put he can throw his receivers open I know tonight that goddamn outrun to McMillan, it's late it's late it's late and behind and every time that interception you got to throw him open now again it's raining the conditions are bad so I'm giving him a little grace on that because the ball is much heavier in that weather but yeah yeah he don't have no doubt you can't be and you can't be late
1:00:32Shannon Sharpe:user 07 Cam dresses like a bisexual Willy Wonka you know what these guys today, they spend more time worried about what other men wear. Y 'all ain't got to be with them. But I wouldn't buy that. No, you wouldn't because you're not in a situation that you're going to afford to design stuff. Now Cam shops at thrift shops. Cam ain't buying really. Yeah, he got his own style. why did it bother y 'all what another man wears? Okay, you wouldn't wear it. Okay, fine. You don't have to buy it. I'm confused
1:01:13Shannon Sharpe:there are a lot of things you say people wouldn't do until you got money I'm sure when Jay Z was growing up in the Marcy Project ain't no way in hell he said he spent $100 million for a house or Beyonce when she was growing up in Houston most people because our mind won't allow us to think of spending$100 ,000,$200 ,000 for a car or spending 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 or whatever million for a house because our mind wouldn't let us comprehend that. Mm-hmm. You never know what you'll do until you're in the actual situation. Until you're in that situation. I would like everybody saying that if you had that money, it's hard for me to believe if you had 10, 15, 20 million dollars, you're going to live in the exact place that you live.
1:02:01Shannon Sharpe:you're going to drive the exact same type of car that you drive and you're going to dress the exact same type of way I just refuse to believe it I refuse to believe it
1:02:14Shannon Sharpe:unless you're cheapest Mr. JetLive27 why does the critics from former players always turn into a professional fight after disagreement? Sante just did this recently y 'all were talking about Prime and T-Step turned into an argument Yeah, you're right. And that's the thing. I'm looking at, I'm listening at what he said. And the thing is, is that, and that's what, you know, Ocho, we also talked to him, look, let them say whatever they want to say. Me, I really didn't want to really talk, really want to talk about this because I don't really like injecting myself because, oh, you and Cam, y 'all boys, y 'all taking, you taking sides.
1:02:52Shannon Sharpe:I ain't taking no sides. I look at it like this.
1:02:58Shannon Sharpe:Asante liked the T-step. Time did. Okay. The T-step worked great for Asante. He went to Pro Bowls. I think he was an All-Pro. He won Super Bowls. Prime didn't believe in the T-step. I just believe time is the greatest corner to ever play. Okay. Just because something worked for one doesn't mean it shouldn't work for the other. I mean, look, I'm a big arm over guy. Gronk was a collision guy because Gronk can get separation. Gronk was bigger than I was, and it was going to be hard because when he bumps into you, a semi bumping into a Volkswagen is going to knock it off balance. Well, I wasn't big as those other guys, unless it's a DB.
1:03:39Shannon Sharpe:But linebackers, I'm arm open. I'm not trying to collide with you. I'm not playing bumper cars. That's not my game. So you're right. So when you look at the T-step versus what, and that was the thing. Like, look, I disagree with Asante, and I was wrong because I was like, bro, you're talking about arguing his stats against time. And I think the thing is, for me, I was like, bro, they threw at you. They didn't throw at time. I mean, time sometimes can put the uniform, hang his uniform right back up in his locker, and it'd be clean. because he didn't make no tackles because he wasn't going to throw it to the guy he was covering.
1:04:23Shannon Sharpe:But I agree with you, Jet Life, and that's the thing. I was just like, I'm done with it. You got your opinion. You can have your opinion. You don't think this guy was good. You don't think that guy was good. Let's just keep it to – I'm going to critique what you said. The T-step worked for Asante. He was great at it. Time didn't believe in it, and he wouldn't teach it. I'm sure if Asante had a DB camp, he would teach the T-step. because he knows it. It worked for him. Arm over worked for me. Bumper cars wasn't going to work for me unless it was a corner. A 6 '8 Aquarius, you don't have to be a better quarterback than the next to talk about the position.
1:05:06Shannon Sharpe:I trust Romo's analysis over Cam based on how he comments on the game. Well, let me tell you how he comments on the game because his job requires him to watch the game and to be able to talk. Cam would have to get used to talking because here's the thing. There's a difference between talking about what will happen, what has happened, as opposed to what is happening. That's the difference. Troy, Romo, Brady, Olsen, Collinsworth, they're talking in real time. It's a lot more difficult than you think. I used to talk about what I think is going to happen. Then I started talking about what has happened.
1:05:47Shannon Sharpe:they're talking about it in real actual right time and you got only talking five six seconds when you're on cable television ocho we can talk for at least 35 40 seconds maybe even up to a minute you don't get that luxury in real time so there's a difference and romo have gotten really good i guess he's gotten good i i've never heard romo yeah he's good he good um i like but I just know how they have to do it and what they have to do, and it's not easy. That is the hardest one. Talking about, I'm giving you an opinion about what I think is going to happen in the game, which I think this team is going to win, blah, blah, blah.
1:06:32Shannon Sharpe:Okay, this team won. Let me tell you why I think they won. Joe, I think right here in this formation, they like to do this. Oh, hey, Jim, in this point, hey, this defense, this is the area of the field. they like to run zero blitz. Talk about stuff in real time. So it's a lot difficult than you think. Mr. Jet Line, 32 ,000 yards and 75 rushing touchdowns. How is that not game changing? I guess he cut off his 35 ,000 passing yards and 100 rushing touchdowns. I don't know, Mr. Matt. I don't know. Chris E.T. Cam was never a game changer. Defense carried him to a Super Bowl. Defense gave him starting field position around the 44-yard mark.
1:07:17Shannon Sharpe:There have been a lot of teams. There are a lot of teams that had great defenses. You don't hold that against Terry Brash, huh? You remember the Steel Curtain? Joe Green's in the Hall of Fame. Mel Blunt's in the Hall of Fame. Jack Lambert is in the Hall of Fame. Jack Ham is in the Hall of Fame. Donnie Schell is in the Hall of Fame. L.C. Greenwood is on the committee. That's six guys on the defense. Now you tell me another defense. You've got Greg Lloyd. No, he wasn't with the steel curtain. Guys, we got to stop trying to find a way to discredit somebody. Everybody had help. Elway had help. Montana had help.
1:07:59Shannon Sharpe:Brady had help. Bradshaw had help. It's okay. It's okay. LeBron had help. Jordan had help. Kobe had help. It is okay. But everybody, every great player is not going to win a championship in their said sport. And that's okay too. Championships are supposed to be hard because if they weren't, what's the value in it? If everybody won, I thought we didn't like participation awards. Yeah. We complained about giving kids participation. So if everybody got to go and win the Super Bowl, if everybody got to go into the Hall of Fame, so what's special about it then?
1:08:53Yeah.
1:08:56Shannon Sharpe:I guess, look, we got to just, I guess we just have a different opinion for game changers, okay? Mr. Jetlight just cause Cam didn't jump on that fumble doesn't mean y 'all get the shit on his own career but that's what they do and that's what happens Billy Buckner go back and look at Billy Buckner's career all they talk about is the ball that went through his legs that's what they talk about
1:09:27Shannon Sharpe:the good
1:09:31Shannon Sharpe:Mark Anthony's speech about Julius Caesar, he said the good that a man does is buried. The bad lives on.
1:09:43Shannon Sharpe:That's what happens. That is the truth. Now, had Cam come back and won a Super Bowl,
1:09:53Shannon Sharpe:because guess what? What do people talk about? People don't talk about all those victories and all those y 'all. What do people talk about with Russ Ocho? He threw that interception. Yeah, the interception on the goal line to win the game. He did win the Super Bowl. Now, had he flipped it, did that first, and then the Super Bowl next. But this is what they remember.
1:10:19Shannon Sharpe:Zero Fox 40, shout out. I met you when you were playing at Savannah State. You came to my school and spoke. And that was in 89. I still remember. Much love. Appreciate you, bro. Mike, Mike 100, what's up, Uncle Ocho? Should the Browns just rush, burrow every place of miles? Love the pod. Keep it up. No, he's going to rush every play. He's going to get 40 rush attempts. But I think the thing is, look, Chase Brown has been running the ball extremely well, Ocho. So I think I'll sprinkle some runs in. I'm going to run the ball. I got to try to slow him down somehow. I've got to try to stay out of third and long.
1:10:56Shannon Sharpe:Or second and long. I want to be in as many third and second and shorts as I possibly can so he doesn't know if it's a run or pass. Third and 10, you're running the football. Third and 13, you're running the football. Second and 13, 14, 15, you're throwing the football.
1:11:18Shannon Sharpe:Michael Irvin been getting heat for his sideline antics. What's y 'all opinion of his antics? That's Mike. Let me ask you a question. What is he doing? he's doing what he's always done that's always been Mike that's nothing new but I'm just trying to figure out what he's doing Mike is very animated he loves you
1:11:41Shannon Sharpe:he loves you he loves his team his team is playing extremely well he's always been like that with the Cowboys hell he was like that when he was playing thank you
1:11:55Shannon Sharpe:that's who he is. That's who he is. I love it. If San Francisco win the Super Bowl, Brandon, are you getting a ring? I don't know. I know Lane Kiffin ain't getting a ring. If they do win the Super Bowl, he ain't gonna want no damn ring. He ain't even wanting to get their money back. True.
1:12:23Hey, speaking of Michael Irvin, boy hey um it's a video of elmo you know elmo right yeah and he partying with some uh was like with some frat boys hey somebody hey and they are saying this this this and they comparing it to michael irvin that is so funny i'm talking about hey chat y 'all y 'all know the video i'm talking about with elmo partying with the uh and they comparing them to uh comparing it to um michael Irvin, somebody got to send that to Unk, man. I'm talking about hilarious.
1:12:56Shannon Sharpe:I think I'm going to go watch that Netflix thing on Charlie, Chevy Chase. Isn't that on Netflix?
1:13:07Shannon Sharpe:Just a little bit I saw. Lord, have mercy. He bad on Charlie. Chevy Chase. Wait, the actor? yes comedian actor yeah damn Chevy Chase wasn't Chevy Chase from Harry and the Hendersons no I maybe he wasn't National Lampoon vacation yeah he do comedy too yeah yeah he comedian

The Buccaneers, They beat the Carolina Panthers, but they still need the Saints to lose, right? If Atlanta wins, Carolina goes. If the Saints win, Tampa goes. So Baker said he wasn't going to root for the Bucs, I mean for the Saints, because he don't like them.
1:15:32Shannon Sharpe:But I think deep down inside, he want to make the playoffs. That's probably a little incentive money in that for him.
