15:35Chad Johnson:I'm running around the house. Yes, sir. Matter of fact, you at the door.

15:42Chad Johnson:Well, y 'all here.

15:45Shannon Sharpe:According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, the Heat are not planning to have any of Giannis' brothers join him in Miami. There won't be any Antetokounmpo brothers in Miami. That whole, we have Costas, we have Finassas on the team. I don't think there's going to continue from what I understand. Alex at the Tekunfo was reportedly lined up for a deal with Greek, whatever this team is, in 2020, while Phanasis is looking for a job. The Heat have no space for waste as a team has serious salary cap issues after adding Giannis and Bobby Portas. Joe rides like, look here, therapy, man, hey. And think about it now.

16:26Shannon Sharpe:Milwaukee went above and beyond to have brothers on a team and they're not contributing. They don't add any value to your team only to appease the brother. And they did that. So we know Milwaukee went above and beyond what was required and what was necessary in order to make sure Giannis was happy. I'm not surprised by this. Joe, are you surprised that Pat says, we want you, not all of you?

16:59Chad Johnson:Hell no, I ain't surprised, Uncle Ocho. Listen, growth and maturity, you know, it's going to be very uncomfortable. So if you've never played without your brothers being there, damn it, so be it. Hey, hey, we need you to get aboard. We trying to win a title. We ain't about pleasing you and our men.

17:16Shannon Sharpe:He played like nine, ten years without his damn brothers. And he was just fine. Yeah. Yeah. Or at least seven or eight. I don't know. Maybe they was on the team. Maybe one of them was on the team when we won a championship in 21. Yeah. But he played seven, eight years without his brothers. Yeah. And he was just fine.

17:34Chad Johnson:Listen, now if you got them living with you, that's one thing. They come to the game. They sit their ass in the stands like everybody else. Absolutely. There ain't no special treatment now. We ain't doing that around here. Nah. Ocho, you surprised? No, yeah. No, I ain't. Bradley don't play that. Now anything that's coming over here Brother, cousin, uncle or not Can they contribute to helping us better? Can they contribute to us winning in any way? Absolutely not I'm not being disrespectful to his brothers Not at all But obviously what we're trying to build is We're trying to get ourselves back in the East And being contenders Bringing your brother here is one thing Bringing Giannis here is one thing And we ain't bringing him We can't bring the rest of the baggage now If, uh, can they help us?

18:27Shannon Sharpe:Can they help us win? That's it. That's all it come down to, huh?

18:31Chad Johnson:Hey, man, I know the Heat got some, they still got some moves they're going to make, but I like the additions. I like, obviously, Greek Freak. I like Bobby Portis.

22:02Chad Johnson:I like Bam. I mean, guys that work hard, that's going to lead the right way. And that's going to upheld that culture that's over there in Miami, Hunk and Ocho. That's the biggest thing, bro, be a hard worker. Hell, that's 90 % of the deal right there if you can get through that. You know what I mean? You got to have to put some work in or whatever, boy.

22:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And I don't think that's going to be an issue for Giannis.

22:30Chad Johnson:Yeah.

22:30Shannon Sharpe:But the thing is that when you go to another team, you got to realize that the other team that you came from, they're accrues to all your demands.

22:38Chad Johnson:Yep.

22:40Shannon Sharpe:what made it so you remember miles turner put it out there bobby tried to smooth it over but it was no smoothing it over yeah yeah we waiting an hour we waiting two hours for y 'all meeting started everybody everybody was shocked yeah they even took it down but you can't make me unhear you can't make me unsee what i've already seen and heard damage was done you after that there was no way in hell Giannis was going back. First of all, he wasn't going back before. But if you had any doubts,

23:19Shannon Sharpe:and the mere fact of that's who it is, you know Miles Turner wouldn't lie on that man like that. There's no way, Ocho. No. No way, Joe.

23:28Chad Johnson:Because you don't even take him for that type of guy. No. That stuff shouldn't be said anyway. The fact that it's even being accepted, you know, in general. How's he going to go back in that locker room, boy? He was never going to go back. Well, you can't. I mean, you said what you said, Ocho. You can't unsay it. You know what I mean? We heard it. Yes, you're absolutely right. It's a wrap. But you're right. You know, it's certain things that goes unsaid about the locker room, bro. And the things that go on are probably trying to diminish guys' character and things of that sort. Like, especially when y 'all still teammates, you don't do no shit like that.

24:05No.

24:07Shannon Sharpe:And the thing, had he not said that, if they had just left it, because they were just going along having a conversation where you know somebody, you know, because Stewie said we get fired for this, got fired for that, you know, late for meetings and so forth and so on. If they had just said, yeah, we got guys that come late and they miss meetings and they're late for the plane, he put a name to it. Yeah. He put a name to it. And the problem that you have, here's my problem, is that Giannis is that player. See, the thing is, what normally happens, guys that you have the most responsibility, they take it the most serious.

24:43Shannon Sharpe:So in other words, you don't do that. So if Giannis is showing up two hours later for a meeting, for a plane ride, or hour, however late he showed up, or if he's blowing up, if he's doing that, who do you follow? You're the leader. You follow the leader. that's why you want your leaders to be of purpose of substance yeah absolutely and then he wonder why they're not winning

25:13yeah

25:15Chad Johnson:you're right them guys gonna follow what the leader doing bro

25:19Shannon Sharpe:they are but I was shocked cause I'm listening to it cause I was like you know normally when we talk cause we all talk For the most part, Ocho, we leave out names. Name that. No, I'm going to leave out the names. We don't need them because, hey, some of them married and some got kids and finally got grandkids and so forth and so on. And they weren't a part of that at the time, so they don't need to know that side of their dad or their grandfather.

25:42Chad Johnson:Absolutely right.

25:43Shannon Sharpe:Or their mom or their grandma. So we're going to leave that out. But to put a name to that? That man said, man, I think he said, I would do check. Correct me if I'm wrong. I was an hour or two hours later playing waiting?

25:59Chad Johnson:That ain't normal neither, boy.

26:01Shannon Sharpe:No, hell not. That ain't going to happen in the football. I don't give a damn who it is. Hell no. John Elway, Peyton, they not waiting. That playing, I see you there.

26:15Chad Johnson:Nah, in basketball now, they'll give your star player some grace time now. When I say grace time, I'm talking 20 minutes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I ain't talking about no damn hour, 45 minutes. Two hours. Damn.

26:30Shannon Sharpe:Man, you know what? But I think, Joe, the way we operate, I couldn't even get good conscience do that.

26:38Chad Johnson:Yeah.

26:39Shannon Sharpe:I couldn't. Oh, Joe, I couldn't. Man, I couldn't wait to get to work.

26:44Chad Johnson:Yeah.

26:45Shannon Sharpe:To be late. Man, I couldn't wait to be to work. I couldn't wait to get to the plane because all that hard work, All the training that I did in the offseason, all that hard work I do in the course of week, I'm about to put that on display and put that on somebody's ass. Hello.

26:59Chad Johnson:Hello.

27:00Shannon Sharpe:Actually, no, I ain't been late for that. Yeah. That's me. That's me. But, Chad, I think y 'all know me enough over these three years of seeing me. Y 'all know how I am about punctuality. Yeah. Man, that's all I ask. Hey, what type of person? You punctual? You punctual?

27:23Shannon Sharpe:I was like, boy. I was shocked though, Joe. I was too. I would have never thought it would have. But here's the thing. You know it had to be somebody that's high ranking. Because if it's not, they'd have cut his ass. Yeah, yeah. Or left him. Joe, you know how this thing worked. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Low tier guys, hey. Jimmy Johnson cut a guy the last game of the season. Dude fumbled twice. Cut him. Guy fell asleep. Jimmy cut him. The reporter asked him, say, Jimmy, if that was Troy and he fell asleep in the meeting, he said I'd have woke him up.

28:08Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that's a good one. He said I'm going to treat y 'all all fair. I ain't going to treat y 'all all the same now.

28:13Chad Johnson:Right. I done seen it happen, man. I seen guys being late and get left. The bus leave them. The plane leave them. Yeah. I done seen guys get cut behind it. I done seen it all, bro.

28:26Shannon Sharpe:Hey, that's funny. But I just, I think it has a lot to do with upbringing. Barney and Mary Porter? And how bad you want it too, huh? Well, how bad you want ass cutting? Yeah, well. I ain't want it. yeah nah you don't want to well look here when Barney Porter say we we going to church when Barney Porter when that when that car crank up everybody better be in there or we ride on the back of the truck in your Sunday clothes going to church yeah Barney and Mary they play that yeah hey you go to that old junk joint but you get there on time, you're going to be in the Lord's house on time. They ain't play that.

29:23Shannon Sharpe:Boy, Lord, have mercy. I don't really have a whole lot of rules to govern by. Hey, somebody come that want a job, hey, Ash, you know what the number one thing is? Other than working hard, being on time.

29:42Chad Johnson:And not only that, though, not only being on time, okay, Ocho, but just being a hell of an asset, bro. You know what I'm saying? It's like even with my yoga thing, my yoga studio, the people that we hire, bro, I just want you to not only enjoy what you do, but I want you to be a hell of an asset. You know what I mean? Like, they don't really, really, really appreciate what it is that you get a chance to do, whether it's teaching people, whatever the case may be, whether it's me on nightcap. Man, I just try to be a hell of an asset, bro.

30:11Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. You wanted two things, Joe. Oh, Joe, you wanted two things. What are you?

30:16Chad Johnson:You're an asset or you're a liability?

30:18Shannon Sharpe:Liability. What are you? Hey, that's a good one. And people get off liabilities. Man, what? They like to acquire and accumulate assets. Yeah. The more good people and more good workers you have, the better and more productive your business will be. Man. bruh that's it that's my mistake and the therapist told me many years ago Shannon the biggest thing is that you think people think like you and you think everybody is good you might not do that to somebody but there are lots of people out there that will and what happens when you come across the ones that will do the exact same what you wouldn't do

31:07Chad Johnson:they'll do it to you

31:10Shannon Sharpe:I just can't come up to people job late. Seven years, I was late one time. Power went out, what you call them, in L.A. Man, my heart was jumping through my chest. I called them, said, man, look, I'm so sorry. The power went out. I said, I'll be there in 15 minutes. I could have made it at 10, but I got to take a shower. I can't leave my house without taking a shower. I don't give a damn. I can't leave my house without taking a shower. I got to wash my ass. That was the only time in seven years. That's on me. That's on me. But I can't do that.

31:54Chad Johnson:Yeah. I'm with you.

31:58Shannon Sharpe:The Mavericks and Clippers have discussed a trade centered around Klay Thompson and Kawhi Leonard. New Mavericks president Masai Ujiri has interested in making a deal that would send Kawhi Leonard to Dallas for a package that would include P.J. Washington, Klay Thompson, and draft picks. Kawhi and Ujiri won a championship together in Toronto in 2019. Joe, do you like that? Pairing Kawhi with Cooper Flagg. Lively.

32:27Chad Johnson:Kyrie.

32:28Shannon Sharpe:Kyrie, yes.

32:29Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah, I like it. Yeah, I like it, Ocho. Ocho, I like it. Hey, that one I can get with. I like that too, man. Yeah, I think Kawhi still has a lot of great basketball left in him to where he can play.

32:43Shannon Sharpe:Real hot this year in points, Joe.

32:44Chad Johnson:Yeah, I think he's shown improve that. So you pair him with some guys who really know how to play, like Kyrie. Obviously, we know the emergence of Cooper Flagg. He's going to continue to get better and better with Derrick Lively and the crew. Man, listen, now the Mavs might be back in action. You know, I think Kawhi will be, you know, he'll be motivated to be a better player. You know what I mean? The environment around him will probably be a little better for him. So, I don't know, man. I think the landscape of basketball is shaping up, bro. Like, it's shaping up to be a little different. I'll get Ocho to come start the next season now.

33:22Shannon Sharpe:Who coaching the Mavs?

33:26Chad Johnson:The guy from Michigan, the coach.

33:28Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, they just got the guy from Michigan. You're right. You're right. Back, back, back. We're talking about, yeah, because they let J.K. go, okay, yeah. Because I was like, damn. I'm trying to see.

33:39Chad Johnson:But, you know, that's kind of, that's a little shaky. You know, we know how Kyrie is now, you know. So, you know, we'll have to see what really happens over here.

33:48Shannon Sharpe:You better know what he's talking about.

33:49Chad Johnson:Yeah.

33:51Shannon Sharpe:You better know what he's talking about.

33:52Chad Johnson:Yeah.

33:55Shannon Sharpe:Damn.

33:59Shannon Sharpe:Besides that, let me try to get this band back together.

34:02Chad Johnson:Yeah. He already know. You put him with it. Dusty May.

34:04Shannon Sharpe:Dusty May. That's his name.

34:05Chad Johnson:You put Kawhi with a hell of a PG like Kyrie, and you got Cooper Flagg over there with them athletic bigs. They going to be able to defend at a high level. Hey, now you got another guy, late game situations, he can come through.

34:22Shannon Sharpe:You got two. Because you damn sure can put the ball in Kyhand, and then Kai can either get a shot or get somebody else a shot.

34:29Chad Johnson:Yeah, that's why I say you got another guy. Yeah, yeah.

34:32Shannon Sharpe:And you know Kawhi. Kawhi has improved his three ball. Oh, he the king of the middie.

34:37Chad Johnson:Yeah, oh, yeah.

34:37Shannon Sharpe:Kai take one step inside the three-point line and let it go. Hey, face up. Hey, he can get to his spot, elevate, let it play. Shoot high 80 for the free throw line.

34:49Chad Johnson:That's a hell of a team, man.

34:53Shannon Sharpe:Man, damn. Yeah. Hey, and ain't no state tax in Texas. Kawhi, you're a little bit bang for your buck.

35:01Chad Johnson:Hello.

35:02Shannon Sharpe:Hey.

35:05Chad Johnson:Hey, hey. From the sounds of it, Kawhi done got him more than a bang for his buck. He doing deals under the table and all kind of mess. There you go, Joe. There you go. Okay, okay, okay. We ain't going to go. That's a legend, Joe. That's a legend. All right, all right, all right. I ain't mad at it, man. What I'm trying to say here. I wasn't me and Bob. We had to do something under the table, too. Yeah, that's all I'm saying.

35:29Shannon Sharpe:Asia Wilson had a monster game today. Asia had 30 points, 15 rebounds, four steals, three blocks. She became the first player in WNBA history to reach those marks in a single game as the Aces beat Chicago 107-99. Wilson shot 8 of 14 from the floor, 13 of 16 from the foul line. It was her 99th game with 20 points and at least 10 rebounds. Only Tina Charles, with 109, has more. Jackie Young added 28 points, 8 assists for the Aces. She was 9 of 14 from the field and made four three-pointers. Chelsea Gray had 18 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists. And Kennedy Carter, back, had 11 points off the bench, 16 minutes, 3 of 6 from the floor, 1 of 2 from the three-point line, 4 of 5 from the free-throw line, a rebound and assist.

36:20Shannon Sharpe:Because, hey, Kennedy Carter, she phenomenal, man. Off the bench? Nah. She's going to win sixth woman of the year. I guess they call it sixth. I'm going to call it sixth woman. Yeah. They like that. You know, we got to be, we try to be politically, we try to be politically and socially correct. Yeah. So, the sixth woman of the year. And she'd be well, well deserved.

36:41Chad Johnson:I know. She nice. I watched a little bit of this game. I caught it when Jackie Young, she caught hot. She kind of read out about three threes in a row. And they were rolling ever since with a double-figure lead. Look, we know the Aces are going to be there, bro. When they come down to it, when the rubber meets the road, they're going to be there. They've been through the most. You look at when Asia play like this and you get in Chelsea and they're fishing like this, they're going to be hard to beat. Yeah, yeah.

37:17Shannon Sharpe:They're going to be hard to beat. Because first of all, Asia's going to be Asia. she's the front runner for the MVP again. Again. Again.

37:25Chad Johnson:That don't surprise you, though.

37:27Shannon Sharpe:No. And probably when it's all said and done, she's going to have all the records. She's going to have the most points. She's going to have the most double-doubles, most blocks. She's going to be very high on the rebounding title. She's going to probably have somewhere between five and eight MVPs, somewhere between four and six defensive player of the year. it's just

37:50Chad Johnson:it's gonna come down it's gonna come down to the help around Asia me and Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray they gonna have to be consistent for them to really make some noise you know what I mean? because when they play at high level when Chelsea Gray and Jackie Young play at a high level bro they hard to beat

38:10Shannon Sharpe:extremely extremely they got two guards that can put it on the floor and can get to the rim. And both of them, y 'all know the point guard.

38:21Chad Johnson:Yeah.

38:22Shannon Sharpe:Chelsea Gray, hey. She got it. She got it. She got it. My dog be hooping. She got it. And Asia. And when we talk about Asia, this is not to diminish anything, these great women from your Lisa Leslie, from your Lauren Jackson, your swoops, Cooper, DT, Maya Moore. For me right now, I think Aja Wilson is a Mount Rushmore player.

38:55Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah.

38:55Shannon Sharpe:In the NBA. Yeah. When it's all said and done, she's going to be the first head on that monument.

39:01Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah.

39:02Shannon Sharpe:She's that good.

39:03Chad Johnson:But she's going to keep building. She's going to keep building.

39:07Shannon Sharpe:She's that good. and I think they got Chelsea under contract for three years I think Jackie's under contract just keep the pieces they got Jewel Lloyd was an all star all WNBA player and she comes off the bench she can hoop too now

39:25Chad Johnson:she can go

39:26Shannon Sharpe:she can hoop too and Kennedy Carter like I said man she's a firecracker I love the way she plays

39:37Chad Johnson:Yep, great, great, great, great punch off the bench to come in and give you that umph when you ain't really got it that time. Every time, bro.

39:47Shannon Sharpe:So the Aces are 14-5, 92. Wade Scott are 6-13. But the Aces win 107-99. Natasha Howard had 21 points and 14 rebounds. Olivia Miles had 21 points, 8 assists. and Cheryl Reeves tied a WNBA record for coaching wins as the Minnesota Lynx beat the Dallas Wings 85-77. Reeves, who already owns a WNBA record for playoff wins, tied Mike DeVault for the most regular season wins in league history at 379. She can break the record for Minnesota when Minnesota takes on the Liberty in New York on Friday. And Olivia Miles, boy, she liked that, Joe.

40:31Chad Johnson:Man.

40:32Shannon Sharpe:Man, she just, oh, my goodness.

40:35Chad Johnson:They really got probably the best roster, one of the best rosters in WNBA, considering the fact that they top player ain't even playing. Imagine what it's going to look like when she comes back.

40:46Shannon Sharpe:When will V get back?

40:50Chad Johnson:Because she can go.

44:59Shannon Sharpe:vehicles based on manufacturer websites 30 and 20 oh yeah she eating a glass i think when you

45:05Chad Johnson:look at fudge shooting 23 shots she went eight for 23 off that's damn that's that's a bit much for her now, you know. You know, considering the fact that... Yeah, uh... What's the other girl? Mecca, uh... Agumake. Yeah. She never really got it going. I mean, she was one for nine, but, you know, it's hard when you ain't in rhythm like that and you got one person taking the bulk of the shots.

45:33Shannon Sharpe:They gotta figure it out. Rick and Pat that rock, though, man. Hey, she got handles. I mean, she can dance with it. She nice. I mean, she'd be dancing out there like Kyrie.

45:43Chad Johnson:Hey, but if you're going to play that three-guard lineup like that, you need a big that's going to be kind of beastly and fully in the paint.

45:50Shannon Sharpe:And she got to eat. Shepard's got to eat like that. Yeah. Because like you said, Joe, they got a three-guard lineup, so they're really small. Yeah.

45:57Chad Johnson:Yeah.

45:57Shannon Sharpe:But when she's getting 16 rebounds, I think what you call leading the league in rebounding, Angel. But she's got to be like top five.

46:06Chad Johnson:Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

46:09Shannon Sharpe:Easy. But watching Dallas, they're fun to watch. They are, bro. You said I don't know when Fee coming back, but, boy, when they come back and you're talking about Fee, Howard, I'd probably be Fee, Howard, Courtney Williams, and Olivia Miles. That might be the starting lineup. One, two, three, four, five. I don't know if it's going to be Coffey or McBride, but, boy, When they put Fee and Howard in there with Courtney Williams and Olivia Miles, hell, I don't care who the other star is. Because Fee can defend. They can defend.

46:48Chad Johnson:Yeah. Score. Yeah, they got it.

46:52Shannon Sharpe:They kind of got upset last year that the Mercury knocked them off because I think everybody was kind of anticipating Minnesota and the Aces. Yeah. Las Vegas. I might go check the Aces out. I think they got a game here on Friday. I might go check them out.

47:08Chad Johnson:Yeah, man. They getting it together, boy. These women ain't playing, man. They taking the game to another level, bro.

47:17Shannon Sharpe:Man, you see what you call them? Washington beat Portland by one, Joe, in four overtimes.

47:23Chad Johnson:Damn, I ain't see that one.

47:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, 124 to 123. And they had a chance. Portland had a chance. Point blank. Girl, missing like a five-footer, Joe. Damn. Ocho, got to know what you want to think about this one, Ocho. There we go. Come on. The Bills have decided not to include OJ on their wall of fame in the new Highmark Stadium. Wow. The president of business operations, Pete, I don't know his last name, but his name is Pete. We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and family circle. Simpson was the first player added to the Bills wall of fame in 1980. Ocho, do you have any issue with the Bills trying to erase football legacy of OJ Simpson?

48:10Well, listen, they can't erase football legacy. Now, they can not put him up there. But what he accomplished when he played, obviously, it's cemented. That's not going anywhere. So them choosing, obviously, a business decision not to put him up in the new stadium. It's just based off all the stuff that happened off the field. That's all. And listen, what he did on the field can't be erased. And the fact that they're not putting it up there and allowing people to view some of the things that he did for that organization back during that time, it doesn't matter. For those that know the game, for those that understand the game, for those that were around to watch OJ play, I didn't get a chance to see him play, but I understand what he meant for the game.

48:47I understand what he did while he was playing. I did. Commercials. Hey, the whole nine yards. But you have to understand. I did. Yeah. From a business standpoint, Joe.

48:57Chad Johnson:Yeah. We understand why they're not putting him in there. We know. We know. Nah, nah, nah. Break it down for me and Chad. We want to know. Why they ain't putting him in there? I mean, Joe, I mean. You saying they seen the documentary? You ain't seen the documentary? I seen it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, they don't. It brings not confusion, but if I'm building something new. Man. Especially like a stadium. The one person, the one polarizing figure that's been a part of our organization that has had some unfortunate circumstances off the field, I don't want to bring that to my new place. Oh, so you're saying he did it?

49:44He did. Hey, Joe, I wasn't there, Joe. I don't know.

49:47Chad Johnson:I'm saying if you watch it, Unc, I know you've seen it. Unc, what do you think?

49:52Shannon Sharpe:All I know, this is what they tell us. 12 men and jury a jury of his peers said he was innocent. The same thing they told us when George Zimmerman walked his ass up out of court. The same thing that they told us when these police officers go with 12 men and 12 women a jury of their peers and they walk, they say the jury have spoken. The jury spoke. What you think? All that conjecture, all that innuendo, all that speculation does not matter. well I ain't been to law school but I took a couple of law classes the first thing they tell you it doesn't matter what you think it only matters what you can prove yeah hey hey and there's a difference between criminal and civil in criminal you gotta prove it beyond a reasonable shadow of a doubt and civil is preponderance of the evidence what he went to jail for taking his uh his memorabilia back here's the thing and this is what i didn't understand about uh him in this situation why you laughing because it was memorabilia oh joe yeah the thing the only thing that the only thing that because he lost civilly so anything all the autograph signings anything that he got that money would have went to the families of the of the fallen people.

51:17Chad Johnson:Yes, sir.

51:18Shannon Sharpe:Why are you trying to get that back? Okay, they stole it. So what? Hey, hey, man, my merch got stolen.

51:27Chad Johnson:Man, I'm sure. Man, I beat a whole murder case.

51:31Shannon Sharpe:Hey. It wouldn't sit down. Yeah.

51:35Chad Johnson:It wouldn't sit down. He had good representation. Oh, the best. Yes, the dream team. Hey, the best at that time.

51:44Shannon Sharpe:Johnny Cochran, F. Lee Bailey. He had Robert Kardashian. He had

51:54Shannon Sharpe:Barry Sheck. The Innocence Project. I don't know how many people know, but go check The Innocence Project and Barry Sheck. The best. They call it the Dream Team. It was a trial of the century. Maybe you got to go back even further, maybe to the Lindbergh child kidnapping. I don't want to get too far back, but I'm just saying, this is how big this was.

52:18Chad Johnson:He got lucky, though. His ass got lucky because if it weren't for that damn Furman, his AA. His AA. Hey.

52:27Shannon Sharpe:All right, now. The moment they put us on there, it was over because they didn't forget. Think about it. Everybody saw, millions and millions of people, saw what they did to Rodney King. Yep. and they watched them walk out of the courtroom. A couple of years earlier, they saw what happened to Natasha Harlins.

52:56See, when things happen to them,

52:59Shannon Sharpe:they say, respect this decision that 12 men and women had spoken. Yes, sir. But now, all of a sudden, y 'all know he did it but hell I know a lot of people did some stuff

53:15Chad Johnson:hello

53:17Shannon Sharpe:nah I don't know nothing all I know is those men and women spoke and they said not guilty and he said what that mean they said you guilty and they said I don't know I wasn't there they said OJ said if I'm not guilty have me my gloves back I don't know he said that I don't know he said it hey innocent or not you have to understand how those organizations think you have to understand how those people that sit in positions of power think yeah he plays part of the organization but to us he's still a stain and putting him in his new in his new building it ain't happening innocent or not you're right Ocho you're right it's too many red flags I mean for those in the chat that might be Bill's fans or might say whoa Ocho tripping no I'm not tripping I'm just thinking how they thinking yeah I'm not thinking how we thinking.

54:09Like, if it was me, I understand what he did for my franchise. He'd be up there if it was me. But, hell, I don't own the Bills. That ain't my stadium. I know how they thinking, though. Hell, no, we ain't putting them in our new shit.

54:23Shannon Sharpe:I don't think anybody, I don't look. We get upset, but I don't think anybody's surprised. Because it's just like any restaurant, any public building. Guess what? They say, we reserve the right to refuse service. we reserved the right to put you up in this building or not

54:42Shannon Sharpe:that's just the way it is that's just the way it is I mean I'm not surprised but you guys say you didn't see I'm old enough to remember if you played running back you wanted one number 32 you wanted to be the juice now I'm not telling you what somebody told me, Joe.

55:03Chad Johnson:Yeah.

55:04Shannon Sharpe:I ain't telling you what I ain't telling you what. I'm telling you what I know. Hello. Hello. If you played running back, you wanted 32.

55:11Chad Johnson:Yeah.

55:11Shannon Sharpe:The juice was it. Mm-hmm. I seen, I seen. Joe, I had to watch the highlights to get a better understanding on how good he was. Oh, he was, he was, he was, he had it all. Yeah. He had world-class speed.

55:22Chad Johnson:Yeah.

55:23Shannon Sharpe:He, what? And he had a commercial appeal. Before OJ, there was, no black was doing what OJ. OJ was getting commercials. Movies? car commercials yeah he's the first in the movie kissing people on TV remember him in the naked gun yeah I think Elizabeth Montgomery I think that was the movie that he was in no juice Juice was it. And like I said, I don't really talk about that situation, but I'm just saying is that it seems to be that things happen, blacks go to trial, go to court, and they get a non-guilty, well, you know he did it, but we just supposed to accept. We are supposed to accept when the jury says not innocent with someone else.

56:25Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Just take it at that. The jury's spoken. Yeah. Okay. That. but, you know, I heard all the story. I've heard a lot of things about O.J. that really, that people really knew him. And, you know, Jay-Z had the song, says, you know, I ain't black, I'm O.J. Right. Yeah. On the 4-4-4-4 album. Sometimes you have to get reminded. Who you are. Yeah? Yeah. Bring you back down to earth, huh? Mm-hmm. What Kanye say? No matter how many, you still an in on a coupe, right?

56:59Chad Johnson:Mm-hmm. no matter what.

57:03Shannon Sharpe:But look, I'm not surprised by this. I'm not surprised that they took this stance. I was going to be more shocked had they allowed it to go. Yeah. Because if they had done it in the old stadium, you see that where everybody know the silhouette. Man, that's what his OJ name used to be. So now in the new stadium moving forward, and for the most part when you go to the stadium I mean I did I mean but how many fans Ocho Joe go to a stadium and actually look try to look at all the greats that play I did because I'm a fan I'm a fan I'm a fan of the NFL I'm a historian of the game so obviously you know you go to the stadium and you see when you go to Kansas City and you see all these names up there you're like damn yeah it's dope it's dope I like doing that I like doing that.

57:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And now, never thinking, Ocho, when I said footed mile high, that one day my name would be up there. Absolutely. And then one day my name would have the Hall of Fame crest next to it. Damn. I never in a million years. Ocho, Joe, I went to the Hall of – we played in the Hall of Fame game in 1991. I went in the building.

58:22Shannon Sharpe:I'm in the building, Joe.

58:27man

58:27Shannon Sharpe:Ocho you remember at the Pro Bowl yes sir all the Hall of Famers that got selected would come over to the Pro Bowl so you meet them at the Pro Bowl they'd have on the Hawaiian shirts normally they'd have on khakis and they'd shake your head they'd come out there at halftime I think now they allow them to come out during the Super Bowl right because obviously the Pro Bowl isn't after the Super Bowl anymore and it's a thing they have it in Orlando or wherever they have it I think they had it in Vegas But that was the thing then. I was like, I remember in 91, as a matter of fact, we played the Lions in the Hall of Fame game.

59:04In the building, just having a good old time.

59:07Shannon Sharpe:Like, damn, man, it's cool, man. Man, look at it. There go Joe Green. There go this one. There go that one. Ain't even done on me. Hall of Fame ain't crossing my mind. Having my name up in the stadium ain't even crossing my mind. I'm just hoping I can make me. hey, let me get me about two or three years. At least I can tell my kids I played in the NFL. Yeah. I ain't lie. Because you know something. Hey, man, I played and, hey, I got me two or three years on show, man. I had a nice little NFL career. Had a nice little run. Ain't a whole lot of people getting to say they played in the NFL. I don't give a damn how long they played.

59:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. One percent. Man.

59:47Shannon Sharpe:Man. But I'm not surprised. hey, it's like, look, it probably would have caused more of a distraction had they put it in there as opposed to them leaving it out. You think so? Yeah. I don't know about that one.

1:00:09Yeah.

1:00:10Shannon Sharpe:Man, you see, man. Joe, they bulldozed that house. You do realize that, right? They bulldozed that house. If you don't know, you'd never know that house was right where it was. Think about that.

1:00:28Shannon Sharpe:They tore the house down. They bulldozed it. They built over it. Damn.
