Nightcap Hour 2: Bengals LOOK GOOD vs Bears + Mike Vrabel Says Pats LACK Depth + Falcons ROLL Colts + Ravens TOP Vikings + Dolphins LOOK Like TRASH + Rams DOMINATE Saints + Bucs SURPRISE Chiefs + BIG 3 FINAL Weekend Recap

13:25Shannon Sharpe:The Patriots. Oh, oh. Shoot, after after, listen. We talk about Super Bowl run up. Listen, I don't know. How about this here? Patriots Mike Braybill spoke on why he's racing Drake May and other starters during the preseason. Let's take a listen to what Braybo had to say. I got to hear this. Big picture, how important is it to you for Drake and some of the starters to play in the final preseason game, the field of game, or is the joint practices that you've experienced lessen the need for that? I don't think we have a very deep team, Mike. So, you know, I think we have to make sure that we're preparing our football team and that we're doing everything that we can to keep our best players available.

14:20Shannon Sharpe:So let me ask you a question. Did they take players away? Because guess what? It's always been a 53-man roster, Ocho. Even when Braves played. When you played. When I played. We were only allowed to have 53. And guess what? They sit their ass out there.

14:39Shannon Sharpe:That's his team. He coached them how he sees fit. but I just I don't understand I don't understand it that's just me I'm old school I need to get reps I think guys could benefit from that nothing's gonna happen that's not supposed to happen yeah and if it's supposed to happen it's gonna happen regardless of when they do play if it's supposed to happen in the preseason it's gonna happen it's supposed to happen in regular season it's gonna happen no matter what you can't hide it it's football you're doing something that's not football related in the preseason you play football, which is what you do in the regular season.

15:15Shannon Sharpe:Now, if you go snowboarding, you go jet skiing or snowmobiling, that's something entirely different. That is not football related. That does not get you prepared for football. But I would like to think that preseason football gets you prepared to play regular season football. That's just my thought. That's just my line of thinking. I could be wrong. Hey, I understand. Hey, and practice, I don't care how much you practice, bro.

15:40Chad Johnson:It's never going to stimulate a real game play. No. You know what I mean? You have to be out there on the field, on the court. You have to be in the action, bro. You have to. I don't know how you gain chemistry and continuity sitting out the whole entire damn preseason and think game one, I'm supposed to come in here and be balls to the wall. And light it up. Go 100 miles an hour.

16:01Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah, I don't get that either. But, hey, he says, you know, they don't have a deep team. I mean, I mean, what the other rosters, what they got? They got more players than what he got? I think everybody got 80. You going to cut down to 53? Yeah, you might have probably take what? Six, seven DBs, three tight ends. Five wide receivers. Because I got to have – I got to field a special team. So, Joe, I got to field a special team. And you got to have a guy that can play – you got to have – that can play either side of the corner and a guy that can play – maybe play the slot in the corner. Safety that can play either position.

16:56Shannon Sharpe:Probably have four safeties.

17:00Shannon Sharpe:Because to get to 46, am I going to have 23 and 23? Am I going to have 24 and 22? The question is, how do I get to that game day knowing that my quarterback, hey, only he can be in an emergency?

17:21Shannon Sharpe:But Brave says he don't have a deep team. Two appendix. What about rookie Jack Strand? Strand was 12 or 17, 212 yards and a touchdown. The undrafted rookie out of Division II Minnesota State, Moorhead, played lights out, Strand 6 '4", 240 pounds. Woo! Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Michael Penix Jr. has now been cleared to return to 11 on 11.

17:50Chad Johnson:Mm. I like that.

17:53Shannon Sharpe:What you think, Joe? You like what you saw from the rook?

17:56Chad Johnson:Man, listen, I thought Atlanta's depth looked great. Uncle Ocho, Strand, he made a strong case for himself considering the fact that with Tua and Penix, you know, everything kind of questionable. For him to come out here and play the way that he played, man, I thought he made a great case for himself. I thought the O-line was all right. I thought they played great, man. I thought, you know, Goodson. That's his name, Goodson?

18:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

18:27Chad Johnson:He had six carries, 59 yards. I thought Atlanta showed some flashes. I thought they showed some flashes, but. They have a coach and found another job, but the hell of a coach and show me Nathaniel.

18:43Shannon Sharpe:Riley Leonard was seven to 14, 62 yards. Anthony Richardson senior came in. He was three or nine for 24 yards. They had 79 yards past 85 yards. Russia. Ooh. And, and, and, and, and, and, and start 39 of those 79 yards came on one play. Hmm.

19:05Chad Johnson:hey hey what y 'all think about your boy Richardson like keep it a bean

19:15Shannon Sharpe:yeah the same thing the Colts think of it

19:21Chad Johnson:it's a route

19:23Shannon Sharpe:I personally think they like Riley Leonard yeah obviously you Daniel Jones is going to be there they signed him to a nice contract he's odd man out I mean could you put him on the practice squad could you put him on the practice squad or you just flat out release him no I think we release him we talked about it before Uncle Joe not too long ago I forgot how many shows ago about him needing to change the scenery let him get a change of scenery let him have a fresh start let him try to regroup recalibrate somewhere else try to be a strong backup you know on another team and And it's just try to start over.

20:05I just he has to he has to get out of Indianapolis at this point

20:08Chad Johnson:I'm saying but but what's gonna be the difference though. You saying try to start over. I Don't really see to where Well, it's a wake-up call Joe, but I'm saying I'm saying when you look at him potentially okay Oh, I mean them can y 'all see him really being like a starting quarterback in the NFL?

20:27Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but you have a he a project he couple years away you got to rebuild him to take a to town hey listen yeah everybody come in this

20:41Chad Johnson:league yeah yeah everybody got potential hell but but think about it if you've gotten your opportunity bro and it just hadn't panned out here he inexperienced he hadn't played a lot of college basketball and didn't get into the pros to where you think it's easier and you think you feel that man please yeah I I ain't going.

21:01Shannon Sharpe:I'm with you when you're right. I just think the thing is from there, they're not gonna look at him the same. See, it's one thing, Joe, to get demoted, and you still, like, okay, you had this job, and it wasn't, okay, you were like, you were in a supervisor role, and then they take you to a role that's under the supervisor. I'm still there. They fire your ass, now that's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay. That wake you up.

21:27Chad Johnson:Yeah.

21:28Shannon Sharpe:Because now you got to hit the streets. Now you got to learn from your mistake of how to prepare. He's got to learn how to prepare. Because in college, I'm sure he got by with God-given ability. 6 '5", 240, could run like he could run. Man, the NFL don't care. Nothing but no physical attributes. They will break you in half. He found that out. In college, like I said, I didn't spend no time in the quarterback room. And so maybe he could in college, you know, come late and leave early. You ain't doing that in the league that Ocho and I played in. No, sir. You're not doing that.

22:16Shannon Sharpe:Give him a fresh start. Let him go somewhere else, Joe. Let him start the process over here. But somebody's going to have to have patience with him. He needs to go. He needs to be – sign him to a scout team and just let him work on his mechanics. Let him work on his mechanics.

22:34Chad Johnson:I don't know, man. I'm saying, hey, what pick was he in the draft? Okay, Ocho. Come on, man. That's – hey, man.

22:44Shannon Sharpe:Oh, they blew it up. The Colts mishandled this because he was a project. You took him saying that he's a project and you started.

22:57Shannon Sharpe:He's the show house. We've all been to the living apartments. They show you the show apartment. This is what it looks like.

23:03Chad Johnson:Yeah.

23:03Shannon Sharpe:You can't live in it.

23:08Or they show, look, I've got an apartment.

23:13Shannon Sharpe:I was going to get the apartment. They weren't done. They weren't finished yet. They said we're about a month away. Yeah.

23:18Chad Johnson:Yeah.

23:18Shannon Sharpe:Okay. I can't go live in it. It's not ready yet. I understood that. Right. You said this man was a project, and then you still put his ass out there. You let him live in the house that you said wasn't ready to be lived in.

23:33Shannon Sharpe:It made no sense to me. I think they put it in. But guess what, Joe? What's that? He still has the eligibility. He can go back to college.

23:40Chad Johnson:Get out of here. Man, man can't go back to college right now. Yes, he can.

23:43Shannon Sharpe:He got eligibility.

23:46Chad Johnson:You serious? Why not? They let everybody else go back, Ocho. I just told you I had eligibility here the other night. You told me I couldn't go back. You didn't sit your old ass down.

23:59Shannon Sharpe:This man 45, Ocho. He wouldn't go out there playing with a 21-year-old. Hey, listen. I wonder would he do that. Nah, I think because he's already been on the roster. He's received NFL pay. Yeah. Okay, okay. But guys that signed rookie, guys that got signing bonuses, that is money from a club, right? Yeah. Even if you're undrafted rookie, you might get$30 ,000 to sign and then, you know,$25 ,000,$30 ,000 guaranteed towards your salary.

24:35Shannon Sharpe:Hey, guess what? I would go. I would peel it. Look, I want to go back to Florida.

24:40Chad Johnson:Hey, listen. Y 'all heard Ty Monk. He said, hey, Lane Kiffin called him. that must have been what he called him about he said lane kiffin called i guess because one of his uh one of his tights huh it was a tight end up i think so yeah he said that must have been what uh lane kiffin was calling me about i think he going back to college jojo yeah damn what's a cold game out here now boy i i i'm saying i'm saying if you're a high school kid coming out of high school and you 18, 19 years old, you better be a hell raiser. You hear me? I'm talking about in football and basketball you got to be a hell raiser.

25:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Because you got 10, you're getting 10 ,000, 15 ,000 kids in the portal every year. Then what happens when you don't get picked up out of the portal?

25:30Chad Johnson:You at home on the couch.

25:32Shannon Sharpe:I know y 'all watch sci-fi. I ain't the biggest sci-fi fan, but hey, sometimes you get caught in suspended animation. You're just there floating.

25:46Shannon Sharpe:You're stuck.

25:50Shannon Sharpe:But I just, I personally think, I think he should go. I think he should go. He definitely needs to go somewhere else. And they're going to have to take time with him. Just say, hey, don't even think about playing him. Don't even think about playing him for two years. Damn. Yeah. and he should be okay with that, Joe, because his money was guaranteed. He probably made$30 million.

26:14Chad Johnson:But who's going to be, as a competitor, who's going to be cool with that?

26:19Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you could be home. Nobody. You could be a six-foot-foot, 245-pound guy that run a 4-3 drive in a FedEx truck. Now, you got a choice, Joe Ocho. Which one you want? And pick wisely, too. We're trying to help you maintain a professional career. Put your pride aside because if you're as good as you thought you was, your ass still be in Indy.

26:44Chad Johnson:It's going to be hard for that young man to do that considering his age. I can see if he was a little older, he's still young, man. That man ain't going to be able to compartmentalize with that. Guess what? Hold on. What are you, he 23?

26:58Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, like 24 probably, 24. Guess what? He young, huh? Yeah. They cut young players, cut old players, good players, bad players. Which one is he?

27:12Chad Johnson:But hold up, when you got that type of talent now and you young, they're going to keep you on the roster though.

27:17Shannon Sharpe:That's what I'm saying. Let him be a practice squad guy. Let him learn. Let him go to a system. A great quarterback coach that can work with him, work on his mechanics, get him to understand how to study, how to watch film.

27:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. He brought this on himself, Dojo. Yeah. Yeah. He ain't got nobody to blame. He brought this on himself, Ojo. This man really thought he had it figured out. And I'm like, bro, do you understand how hard this game is? I mean, some of the greats. And here you is in two games tomorrow. Oh, this is easy. It's easier than college.

28:03Shannon Sharpe:Okay.

28:04Chad Johnson:Yeah.

28:06Shannon Sharpe:No, sir. Oh, okay. Boy, you play in Alabama every week in the NFL. That's every week. You don't get Georgia Southern, or you don't get no Florida A &M. You don't get no weeks off in the NFL. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Ease up on the family. Man, you know when they have to take those games, Ocho, to get their eyes beat out, to get that$400 ,000,$500 ,000, to pay for the athletic program budget. That's why I need to come in to me some money. Savannah State ain't never taking no more games like that. Damn. How that help the kids? To get beat 60 to nothing, Ocho.

28:44Chad Johnson:Well, you think about it.

28:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you right. You right. That school getting that check, though. By the time, hold on, Ocho, you get 600 ,000, you got to fly the kids in. You got to bring the band. How much that costs? How much that costs for hotels and to feed them? So you spend$500 ,000, you might clear$200 ,000,$300 ,000. Hell nah. Give me a million. and pay for us to come. Why ain't you coming, punk?

29:12Chad Johnson:It helped you recruit.

29:16Shannon Sharpe:Not getting beat 70 to nothing don't help nothing.

29:18Chad Johnson:Yeah, because the recruits thinking like, the recruits thinking like, damn, I go to Savannah State. Yeah, we're going to play against Alabama. All I got to do is just show some flashes. I'm going to be all right.

29:27Shannon Sharpe:You ain't going to show no flash against Alabama. Leave that alone. the boy different go play georgia play fcs school but don't go play no power five don't go play no

29:41Chad Johnson:lsu no oklahoma georgia hey because they gonna beat the brakes off you yeah hey they they they listen they beating the brakes off you but the school is getting funds that they wouldn't be able to get so they they got the schedule those games how does that help the kids the kids it's It's not to help the kids. It's for the school because the school, that's how they get their money.

30:06Shannon Sharpe:Okay, well, let the math department go debate Harvard and MIT. Let the science department go Cal and Stanford. Why I got to get my eyes beat up out here? You see how many coaches they got them schools got? They got to coach an air position. Coach the offensive line, but he coached guards. Got to coach the tackle, tight end, wide receiver, running back, fullback, linebacker inside outside safety DB how many Savannah State guys the offensive coordinator was the quarterback coach and wide receiver coach

30:49Shannon Sharpe:maybe once upon a time maybe once before integration happened they probably could play with them because all the blacks went to black colleges But once they had integration and, you know, they started picking a lot of the best players, ended up going to Alabama and Southern Cal and all those other places, hell no. But Coach Robinson probably had some teams from Grambling that could compete. Oh, yeah. Yep.

31:21Shannon Sharpe:Anthony Richardson was 309 for 24 yards. He got sacked twice. That was his number. Three or nine, sack twice. Ain't nobody – Riley Leonard was 7-14 for 62 yards. Ain't what like they had a showcase day. Yeah.

31:44Shannon Sharpe:I just – same thing with Deshaun. Deshaun would be better served somewhere else. Man. He'd be better off somewhere else.

35:23Shannon Sharpe:Ravens defeated the Vikings 13-3. Ravens quarterback Joe Fagano, 15-20, 123 yards, touchdown. J.J. McCarthy, 5-10, 81 yards, no touchdowns.

35:40Shannon Sharpe:And some flashes. Did he get injured today?

35:43Chad Johnson:Who was that?

35:44Shannon Sharpe:Who? McCarthy. Joe? Oh, JJ? Did he get Nick today, Ash, and leave the game?

35:50Chad Johnson:I don't know. I watched a little bit of this game, Ocho, and he had a chance to really have a really nice game, bro. He got in the red zone a few times, could have had a couple touchdowns, but came up short. But, man, that damn Baltimore, their offense was explosive. Yeah, their defense looked so physical and deep. Five sacks and two turnovers. Come on, man.

36:20he got injured yeah he got banged up

36:25Shannon Sharpe:but see what's his MO Ocho injuries injuries injuries continue to rob him continue to rob him

36:36Chad Johnson:you seen another one of those Colorado standouts LaJonte I think he had the only touchdown today yeah yeah yeah yeah

36:45Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. For the Ravens?

36:47Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, yeah, for the Ravens.

36:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He nice.

36:50Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah, he can play. Yeah. That damn defense, though, boy.

36:58Shannon Sharpe:I thought Max Bowman played. I thought, look, I thought Max Bowman played well. Carson, I've already told y 'all. I've already told you. I'm trading him if I can. Who? J.J. McCarthy. J.J. McCarthy. Oh, yeah. Who? Yeah. Trading him where? Somebody. Oh, because you trust Carson Wentz to be a backup? Yeah, I trust Carson Wentz more than I trust him. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I mean, I can roll with that because we've seen Carson Wentz win. We've seen him take a Philly team before tearing his ACL. He aims. Okay.

37:31Chad Johnson:Why are you speaking of that, Ocho? He probably would have won MVP that year, too, hell, if he didn't get hurt. That boy was balling out. He was going crazy. Before Nick Foles took over and, yeah. Yeah.

37:43Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. He would have.

37:48Chad Johnson:Damn.

37:52Shannon Sharpe:But I thought, look, the quarterback, you know, Hunt, they didn't let Hunt do much, but he was 5 of 8 for 63 yards. McGonagall was 15 of 21, 23. Max Bozeman was 11 of 17, 98. Wentz was 9 of 11, 92. And McCarthy was 5 of 10 for 81.

38:08Chad Johnson:Hey, I like Huntley. Okay, Ocho, I like Huntley, the backup for the Ravens. Snoop. Yeah, he can play. I like him. Yeah, I like Huntley.

38:15Shannon Sharpe:But for whatever reason, he only can play there. He played unbelievable. Yeah. You remember when you had him in Miami, Ocho? Yeah, I think that scheme is perfect for him. They know how to use him the right way. Obviously, he can do some of the same things Lamar could do in that scheme, in that grand scheme of things. And anything outside of that, it kind of exposes what he doesn't do well. I agree. I agree. But he missed – McCarthy had an opportunity to hit Miles Price, who came wide open, and McCarthy failed to hit him for an easy touchdown. Yep. Ravens defense only allowed 65 yards rushing, had five sacks, an interception, fumble recovery, and nine QB hits.

39:00Shannon Sharpe:Jesse Minner, he dialed it up. He dialed it up. But that's what they need. They need defensively. Offensively, they need to have the perfect storm. Because when they had Mike McDonald, remember before he went to Seattle, that defense was balling. And they had crazy. They had everything. They got home field. They had forced my homeboy to come to them. And the two turnovers killed him. They killed him. You can't turn the ball over in big situations. I mean, one was going into the end zone and then, no, I think they had three turnovers. I think Lamar fumbled. Lamar fumbled. I think it threw a pick too.

39:42Shannon Sharpe:And what you call him? because remember he threw in a double coverage and then what you call him Zay would try to get the ball over there and he got punched out hey that was perfect timing that was unlucky right there that was me yeah he was trying to make Zay was trying to make a play man

40:04Shannon Sharpe:Giants defeating the Dolphins 26-3 Dolphins Dolphins Dolphins don't do that don't do that don't do that don't do that you know it's gonna be a long season for us even though this the preseason it's still gonna be a long season for us and i'm okay with that i'm okay and i'm i i understand we're in a rebuilding stage and i'm okay with that y 'all gonna be a big rebuilding for a minute by three years what happened y 'all guys went for it remember y 'all guys went for it y 'all signed tyreek and y 'all had a you know play big dog you had jay ram yeah y 'all with your pre-signed Tua, had Waddle, y 'all went for it.

You weren't thinking like that. You weren't creative enough to do that. Joe, I ain't wear no back flap. I ain't wear nothing. Joe, I put on my pants. I had some gloves and some shoulder pads. Matter of fact, my shoulder pads. You feel like they were way down, that back flap? Joe, I need, yeah. You ever wore that? You ever wore a back flap? Hell no. I'm saying, what the back flap? Hey, listen, hold on. Why y 'all talking on college football and mad now?

44:10Shannon Sharpe:What else at? That's about Glenville. Tapna County. I could have had Fulton County on that thing for sure though. You know what Fulton County is, don't you? I should have had ATL. Yes, sir.

44:24Chad Johnson:Yes, sir.

49:58Shannon Sharpe:Crown Vic. The Rams defeated the Saints 34-0. Stetson Bennett came to play 19-31, 181 yards, two rushing touchdowns. Rams safety Alex Cooks had a 100-yard pick six. Rams defense dominated the entire game. Complete shutout. damn saints or the rev rams look good i ain't gonna even hold nobody the rams look good they loaded if they stay healthy good luck beating them yeah good good luck beating them last year too look they ran into a red hot seahawks team they had seahawks on the on the on the they should have beat the Seahawks. Especially that third night game, Ocho. They had him on the road and let him up the hook.

50:46Shannon Sharpe:And then once they got home field, Seattle got home field, that was a wrap.

50:51Chad Johnson:Hey, that's Zach Wilson. That's Ocho boy, ain't it?

50:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Hey, yeah, yeah. You know who it is. Old Zach, what? Huh? All he needs is opportunity.

51:02Chad Johnson:That's it. That's all he needs. I know it's preseason. But getting shut out 34-nothing, brother, that's concerning partner. Hey, Joe, it's preseason. It's concerning, especially when you're trying to find a backup QB here and listen.

51:21Shannon Sharpe:Spencer Rattler had a 14 to 23, 141 interception. Zach, 6 to 12, 55 at an interception.

51:32Chad Johnson:They get shut out though? Come on, man. What we talking about? Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe. Hey, Jodo, hey, listen. The Saints gonna beat your Falcons. How about that?

52:44Hey, it's right in the middle too, Joe.

52:47Chad Johnson:Yeah, you got to get you one of them back scratches, one of them long jumps that go down in your shirt.

52:56Chad Johnson:There you go. Oh, no. Oh, use the dough. Get your ass up against the dough. Yeah, I ain't. Like you see them out on me doing. Yeah.

53:10Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. That's aggravating. Buccaneers defeat the Chiefs 16-15. Reuben Bain had a tremendous hump move on Khalil Bain. Bain looked like he belonged out there. It almost looked like that Reggie White. That Reggie White move on there. When he slapped that boy like that. Yeah, humped him. When he clucked him. Harrison Buckner kicked a 69-yard field goal with ease. Looked like it would have been good for 70-plus. Fogas field goal made in NFL history the regular season in 68 yards. Yeah. That boy got a leg, man. Cam Little, Buckner, Brandon Aubrey. I think there's one more person that has a leg like that where once you get – even if you don't get cross midfield, they damn in rank.

53:57Chad Johnson:69 is crazy.

53:59Shannon Sharpe:that decision that no go ahead joe that's wow i'm saying to be kicking a 60 yard 69 yard of field goal bro come on now below c level too so they ain't really getting no carry damn boys got a leg boy so what you think nutsmeyer was not a 17 74 yards justin field was not a 12 and Ola Ducon was five of six.

54:34Shannon Sharpe:Jake Ryder was eight of 11. Jalen Daniels was nine of 14. And Baker Mayfield was two of four.

54:43Chad Johnson:Hey.

54:47Shannon Sharpe:What's that, what you thinking, Joe?

54:49Chad Johnson:She's basically had this game in control. They did. know tampa bay yeah tampa bay come back you know it exposed some of kansas city's depth issues and that's and then do hitting a 45 yard or 58 yard and a 69 yard field goal hey man boy locked in oh yeah

55:21Chad Johnson:i just would like i would i know patrick mahomes probably won't be he probably ain't gonna be ready week one but i ain't gonna lie man i'd like to see some of them starters get out there and get a little get get get a couple series get out there

59:14Shannon Sharpe:Riley Dixon. What we got here. The Boston Ball Hogs defeated Dallas Power 51-49. Back in June, the books had the Ball Hogs at 21-1. 21-1, the longest odds in the league. tonight in Charlotte, they're champions. Boston beat the number one seed, Dallas Power. It came down to one free throw and two shots. Greg Monroe stepped on the line with a chance to win it for Dallas, missed it. Then Jeremy Pargo took over, hit back-to-back, four-pointers to close out the game. That 21 points and nine assists on the night, and the two biggest shots of the season when it mattered most. Pargo took home finals MVP, Coach Gary Payton, Coach of the Year.

59:59Shannon Sharpe:No, Coach, he won his second ring as a coach.

1:00:02Chad Johnson:I think he won Coach of the Year, too. Oh, did he? Yeah, he won Coach of the Year, too. They had the MVP. They had the Coach of the Year. And they champs. Yeah, and they champs. I don't know if y 'all know this, man, but y 'all can go back and look. Y 'all do know I call every game. I'm talking about before the playoffs started, I got every game right, every game, even the championship game. I'm saying that to say this. dang, me and my boy Jeremy Parker, we supposed to be working on a damn two-peat. He didn't went out there and got him one. I didn't think they played great the entire game, but they gave themselves an opportunity to Ocho at the end.

1:00:46Chad Johnson:You know what I mean? I mean, Jeremy been spectacular the whole year, bro. He done put them boys on his back. Being able to run the table, to win MVP, to win the title and win the MVP. Come on, man. But, hey, I don't know about y 'all, but it really don't surprise me, man. Hell, he's been hanging out with me long enough. Some of this shit pulls a rub off on him. You know what I mean? I'm just keeping it real. It pulls a rub off on him. He pulls a rub off on him. He pulls a rub off on him. You know what I mean? I expect for this, man. Hey, listen, I hold that young man to a high standard, man. I hold him to a high standard.

1:01:23Chad Johnson:Job well done. Good job, young man. Yep.

1:01:28Shannon Sharpe:And that wraps the ninth season for the big three. Nine years the big three has been in existence where many people didn't believe it'll last a summer. Now that it's on CBS, it's packing out arenas and getting bigger and bigger every year. Shout out to Q. Shout out to Q. Hey, they got big three in the Olympics.

1:01:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, it's an Olympic sport now.

1:01:48Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I remember one year, the women won it one year with Kelsey Plum and maybe it was Jackie Young and Stephanie Dawson.

1:01:59Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:02:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I think, was it Rio? Yeah. Might have been Rio. It might have been 2020. But they won it. KP was on that team that ended up winning the championship.

1:02:14Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:02:15Shannon Sharpe:But Joe, I don't get the man done hit a four-point shot and you let it walk into another one?

1:02:22Chad Johnson:He's the league leader. I'm talking about a history of four-point shots.

1:02:27Shannon Sharpe:Okay. Listen, you get Greg.

1:02:30Chad Johnson:If I run a pick and roll and get Greg Monroe guarding me way out here in deep waters, okay, Ocho, I got him. I'm going to drown him. He ain't. Excuse me. How y 'all expect Greg Monroe at 6 '10 to be able to guard? He can't guard Pargo out there. See, and three on three.

1:02:47Shannon Sharpe:Huh? Guess what?

1:02:49Chad Johnson:What?

1:02:49Shannon Sharpe:As long as I don't let him make a three or four-point shot, they don't win. The only thing that can beat me is what? What can end the game? A four-pointer.

1:02:58Chad Johnson:They were down, Joe.

1:02:59Shannon Sharpe:They were down 47, 49.

1:03:01Chad Johnson:They were. And then, look, Monroe went to the free throw line. Uncle Ocho, 49 points. All that dude made the free throw. They win the game. He smoked it. He smoked the free throw at 49 points, bro. And that's how Pargo got the rebound. And then he shot a three, the four-pointer, because you got to win by two. He shot the four-pointer, and they end up winning the game. Like he smoked the, Greg Monroe smoked the game.

1:03:26Shannon Sharpe:That's why you trap him. I'm going to get the ball out of Pargo's hand.

1:03:29Chad Johnson:That's what I'm saying. In three on three, you got to give up something.

1:03:32Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm going to give up that two-pointer. Yeah, you're going to have to give up something? I'll give up a two-pointer because guess what? I get to play another possession. He hit that four-point shot. I ain't got no other possession to play.

1:03:43Chad Johnson:Hey, what they say, fatigue makes a coward of us all. Them boys dead dog tired out there.

1:03:49Shannon Sharpe:Hey, you told me, it was Steph Curry. You gotta pick him up when he cross half court, right? Yeah. Okay, well then you gotta pick that man up. He had that full point range, I gotta pick him up.

1:03:59Chad Johnson:You do, you do. You do, hell of a game though. Oh man, hell of a game, hell of a game. Even the All-Star game was good when Patrick Beverly and them played. You know Patrick Beverly, who was on the team? They played against the All-Star.

1:04:16Shannon Sharpe:Who shot Pat Bland block?

1:04:18Chad Johnson:Huh?

1:04:18Shannon Sharpe:Pat Bland block, somebody shot us.

1:04:20Chad Johnson:Oh, Nas, of course. Nas. He blocked Nas. See, Pat Bell, he always going to be borderline, though, okay, Ocho. You know what I mean? He always going to be. He going to tiptoe the line every time. You know what I mean? That's just who he is as a person. That's who he is as a player, and that's how he's made his way as a professional. So I don't expect nothing less from him.

1:04:41Shannon Sharpe:But the Ball Hogs are your big three champions. They take down the Dallas Power 51-49 thanks to two four-point shots by Jeremy Pargo, who was the league's MVP and now championship game MVP.

1:04:56Chad Johnson:Damn, that's what's up, bro.

1:04:59Shannon Sharpe:So, see y 'all next summer, Big Three. And now it's time for the final segment of the evening. It's time for Q. Hey.

1:05:16Shannon Sharpe:Daniel Wells, 4970. man, y 'all were talking about Death Row last night, and I was wondering, how would you deal with having boss like Suge Knight? He was not to be messed with. I wouldn't mess with him. He ain't going to be my boss.

1:05:32Chad Johnson:I'm saying, you're saying he might not be your boss, but if you got the talent and he got the plug and he tell you, look, look, Sharp, look, you come over here to Death Row, I got you. You know what I mean? He do. He got your masters.

1:05:46Shannon Sharpe:He got your publishers. He got all that. He got you. Got all that. But you also understand, as Pac or as Sharp in this case, right, you talk about you going to the biggest label there is at the time. It was either Bad Boy or it was Death Row. It was one or the other. They was at the top of the food chain.

1:06:07Dr.

1:06:08Shannon Sharpe:Frankie L. Bellamy, howdy, partners. Everybody good tonight. How about them cowboys? Ah, Doc, you feeling real good. You and Joe feeling real good. Y 'all talking big right now. hey we we just impressed with our young talent man is it yeah i'm pretty sure the nightcap family would agree with me imagine the three horsemen on madden college football and 2k game changer oh joe and uh joe supposed to be playing uh uh madden or something oh joe joe say

1:06:40Chad Johnson:we gotta have a face off where the people can see because i know dudes slow as i don't know what

1:06:45Shannon Sharpe:Damn, Ocho, that man say you slow.

1:06:47Chad Johnson:I know he slow. Look, what you doing, bruh?

1:06:56Chad Johnson:Oh, man. Come on, Cambodia. Make that man get up against the door, Cambodia. Oh, I done seen it all. Yeah.

1:07:12All right, thank you. Oh, man. Look at him, man. Yeah, you know, my back hurts a little bit. Hey, look at old Bill Good. Hey, y 'all, stop. I'm sorry.

1:07:28Shannon Sharpe:Caleb Robinson. Roney said they get paid too much. He definitely proved that tonight, shaking my head. I want my money back. I didn't even pay. And I didn't even pay. Yeah, I definitely need my$80 back.

1:07:41Chad Johnson:Damn. Roley come out here with all that talking, man. Boy, you got to, hey, you get in that ring, man. You got to bag it up, homie. Yeah.

1:07:51Shannon Sharpe:You can't talk your way out of that.

1:07:53Chad Johnson:And you can't blame no damn body else neither.

1:07:56Shannon Sharpe:Nope. I don't know what Roley was on. Roley was on some bull jar tonight, man. This is not looking good, hon. This is why Shields thinks she can actually really do damage and hang with him. Performance is lackadaisical and passive style. I don't give a damn if he ain't throw no punches. Ain't no woman beating, no woman boxer beating a male boxer. One body produces testosterone the other body produces estrogate. Muscle, bone density, strength. It ain't happening. There's a reason why they got a boxing division. There's a reason why they got women division. They have men division. They have men tennis players.

1:08:40Shannon Sharpe:They have women tennis players. They got men hockey players. They got women hockey players. Men basketball, women's basketball.

1:08:50Chad Johnson:Hold on.

1:08:51Shannon Sharpe:Men's rugby, women rugby. There's a reason why.

1:08:55Chad Johnson:Hold on.

1:08:56Shannon Sharpe:Come on, guys. Isn't that complicated?

1:08:58Chad Johnson:But you talking about men's basketball. Hey, I see people going in there, getting their transmission redone, trying to join the WNBA.

1:09:05Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, they doing too much. Come on, man. Yeah, they doing way too much. tripping big time. They gonna let that happen? No. Hey, listen, it's amazing. It's amazing how far we've come as a society where this is the norm or where it's okay. Forget it being a norm, where it's okay, where there are rules allowing this to actually happen. But, hey.

1:09:33Shannon Sharpe:Never thought I'd see the day. Last night, y 'all shouted out my daughter, Luciana, and she asked how old she was. She's 10. She's definitely not listening to this issue. Watch our Chief put BTA on y 'all next week. Week one, go Chief. Nah, Andy, that ain't happening. Y 'all know we got y 'all number.

1:09:52Chad Johnson:Y 'all got Chiefs week one?

1:09:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Wait, y 'all got a division game the first week of the season? Jesus. I'm ripped. Big three, thank goodness football is back. Do y 'all think the injuries that have started to be on the rise have to do with not going full speed in practices and getting more reps in the preseason. I'm from Kansas City. 9-14. Yeah, I do. And I told somebody, I think me and Ocho was talking about it, but I told some people, they don't give anybody a chance to rest. Soon as the season over, they start back, you see them posting videos, they working out again. Well, damn, when's your body going to rest? I don't think they practice enough well that too but also even if you practice you gotta take a month off you're not gonna take a month off oh I took two days off and I'm back training again your body gotta recover

1:10:54Shannon Sharpe:that's just me alright Joe this is yours cause I know him but I ain't really pay attention to him like that Start bench cut 90 R &B females. TLC, En Vogue, SWB.

1:11:08Chad Johnson:Ooh. I'm going TLC, SWB, and I'm going to have to cut En Vogue. Damn. I know. I know. I know. Hold on. To your love. To your love. You got to hold on. You got to hold on.

1:11:27Shannon Sharpe:Damn.

1:11:28Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah.

1:11:31Shannon Sharpe:Is Shadour in a lose-lose situation? Their old line is projected to be last this upcoming season. This is not the same issue with Burrell. Are we concerned for his career? I mean, Shadour's in a situation where he's taking what he gets. He understands that his offensive line isn't very good. He's going to have to do a job to help his offensive line out by getting ready to football a little faster than he would normally do. Sometimes those big plays, and I know he likes to push the ball down the field, but sometimes you got to just take the short stuff or throw that ball away because their line ain't going to be able to hold up.

1:12:04Right.

1:12:05Shannon Sharpe:They're not.

1:12:08Shannon Sharpe:Bronco Country. No, we're not riding. That was Russ' phrase. We'll let that, we put that to bed. So, hold on, what is it? Let's ride. What did y 'all say? Yeah. That's it? Okay, okay, okay. Big Three, love the show and the chat. Quick question. Y 'all think football, a coach's game or a player's game? Which dicks take the outcome the most? Coach's job is to put his players in a situation to win. All he has to do is not cost his team. Players have it.

1:12:42Chad Johnson:I think that's almost in every professional sport. For sure. Hey, and you know what? For the coach, the better your players, the easier your job is. I'm not saying it's an easy job, but the better your players the easier your job is they make it easy yeah absolutely whatever boy took that thing back 98 yards who

1:13:10Shannon Sharpe:oh 100 yards the pig six the rams that was 100 yeah that was 100 i did brandon crow 34-03 if washington starts after how he's performed then todd would lose the locker room a blind man can see two better than Ben, two better than$230 million quarterback. Come on. Players see it. Trying to tell y 'all. Man, lose a locker room. He ain't been there three months. Talk about it.

1:13:41Chad Johnson:Ocho, that man ain't took that job bro to be played like no puppet. That's why I'm telling you. I'm thinking if I'm tired of marking and I know this job up for grabs, man look man don't come here playing with me man i'm gonna let these dudes battle it out and i'm gonna pick a quarterback and it may not be deshaun watson that's all i'm saying
