Nightcap Hour 2: Chargers SHUT DOWN Justin Herbert + Aaron Glenn’s job NOT SAFE in New York + Kevin Stefanski’s FUTURE with BROWNS in LIMBO + Sauce Gardner CLAPS BACK at critics + Anthony Joshua STABLE after car ACCIDENT

21:52Because Baker Mayfield went one and ever since he got where he belonged in the right situation surrounded by the right important cast, he'd been playing well. Yeah.

22:13So

22:14Shannon Sharpe:I that's That's, you know, Jimmy said that he wants to give Stefanski and he wants to give Andrew Barry a chance to rebuild his roster after so much they gave up. And they did. They gave up a King's Ransom. It made the Texans into what they are. Well, actually, Lovie Smith did that by winning that ball game. Well, you know what? If he's going to give Stefanski a chance to rebuild after giving away a King's Ransom to get Deshaun, that would take another three years. That would take another three years. Because, Ocho, it wasn't that they had all those picks, the Texans, is that they nailed them.

23:01Shannon Sharpe:Perfectly. They used those picks to get a C.J. Stroud. They used that pick to trade back up and to get a C.J. Anderson. They got a Nico Collins. Will, Will, Will. Will Anderson Jr., my bad. Who did that say? You said C.J. C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr., and Nico Collins. So when you hit on those picks,

23:29Shannon Sharpe:the question is the Browns. I mean, you got to get a quarterback. And I believe, look, I think Shadour has done some great things, but I do not believe the Browns are satisfied. I believe the Browns are going to try to go into the draft and get a quarterback if they can't find one in free agency. Well, they can go into the draft, and the cycle is going to continue to repeat itself.

23:59I mean, that's not a knock on the players coming into the draft, but that's a knock on the Browns itself and being able to develop players. But you done been through 237 ,000 quarterbacks, and none have panned out. True.

24:18Shannon Sharpe:but when you think about it, Ocho, look at what Chicago did. Look at what they got. They parlayed that. They say, you know what? Hey, Carolina, y 'all want to know more pick. Give us y 'all number one pick next year. Oh, that's Caleb Williams.

24:42Shannon Sharpe:Now, we need to put some pieces around the quarterback. let's make a trade for DJ I tell you what give us your first round give us that pick and by the way we want DJ more let's start with that so now hmm let's go get a Roman doomsday let's go Luther Burton III let's draft Costa Loveland and you know what we got it our quarterback getting hit too much Dolman Joe Thune Jackson Step right up Ta-da Got a bill You look at what they did in Detroit Almond Ross ain't around Jamison Williams Jack Campbell Hawkinson, they trade Hawkinson Get Laporta, Jameer Give They bring in David Montgomery for a free agency Terran Arno, boy, he's got two hands.

25:48Shannon Sharpe:He's got to do better. He's got to do better with his hands. He's got to do better with his hands.

25:57Shannon Sharpe:So it's going to be interesting to see what the Browns do. That's going to be the storyline.

26:13Shannon Sharpe:I think Andy's going to stay with their situation, so Daniel Jones is not going to be available. I'm trying to think. Willis? Malik? Malik Willis is going to be available? Is he? Look, what he's been able to do in Green Bay is phenomenal. Yeah, it's phenomenal, but you got to be careful. You got to be careful. because what he did in Green Bay was phenomenal because of what he has around him. True. So if he goes somewhere else based on what you saw him do in Green Bay, if you're bringing him into your organization, do you have those same type of pieces? Do you have that same important cast? I agree.

27:00All that comes into play, which for some reason, scouts and GMs and those who make the calls, they ignore that. Yeah.

27:08Shannon Sharpe:Because if you look at what they gave, look at what they gave Caleb Williams. Bryce Young. They took McMillan. They get Leggett. Jimmy Horn. They tried to bring in Adam Thielen, but they ended up moving on.

27:29Shannon Sharpe:They brought in Rico Daudel to be able to run the football. Chuba Hubbard. You got to get a guy weapons. So if you don't have any weapons, why are you bringing Malik Willis in? Or you can bring him in, but are you going to bring weapons with him? Are you going to go into free agencies like, hey, wide receiver, draft a couple of wide receivers. Because we had the gentleman on last night, Jay Lenoir. He's like, man, hey, when they took Hutchinson, I was like, hey, they took me off the board. Because now they got Hutchinson and they got Nico. What do they need me for? And if I'm not mistaken, they got Christian Kirk.

28:11Shannon Sharpe:Because Tank Dale was injured. Now, maybe he comes back next year. We'll be interested to see because that was a gruesome injury that he suffered. I meant to say Higgins. But they got a Hutchinson too, right? Okay, okay. Well, here's part of the second. They got – hold on. They drafted a receiver in Hutchinson. They got a Nico Collins, who's a Pro Bowl player. they just took my ex-teammate in higgins what the hell they need deeper and they got christian kirk

28:44you can never have enough weapons the last thing you want to do is run out and having them weapons is very important knowing how to use them too knowing how to use them

29:01Shannon Sharpe:hey but even if you know how to use them if you ain't got the right weapons it don't matter that too

29:12Shannon Sharpe:I'm not man y 'all need to stop y 'all just trying to start something but it's anyway oh you giving up on Shadour let me ask you guys right now Now, any amount of money you bet, any amount of money that you bet, would you willing to bet that the Browns do not take another quarterback, either in free agency or the draft? Yes or no? How much money are you willing to bet to say no they don't? Or y 'all just want to talk ish? That's what I thought.

29:47There are not a whole lot of quarterbacks unless you proven.

29:53Shannon Sharpe:Okay, they're going in the draft to get one. Or they're going to get one in free agency. Unless you're one of these top 10 quarterbacks, you're a Dak Prescott, or you're a Patrick Mahomes. Joe, Josh. Yeah, one of those. Herbert. So let me ask you a question. Do you think that the Los Angeles, the Las Vegas Raiders, are they going to get a quarterback, yes or no?

30:21Shannon Sharpe:Arizona Cardinals, will they get a quarterback in or draft a quarterback? yes or no.

30:29Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes like when you look, when you do an analyst job, sometimes you got to take emotions out of it. You got to take feelings out of it.

30:47Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all just want to hold on to feeling, bro. I'm just telling you, I'm looking at it from a standpoint of an organization.

31:03I don't even trust the organization, especially not.

31:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but people say, well, don't nobody care about the Raiders. How many people you think jumping up and down about the Browns? Do they care about the Browns or do they care about Shadour? Let's be real. I like that.

31:24Shannon Sharpe:so

31:34Shannon Sharpe:it's no matter what I want I own the team see if Ocho and I own the team we can put in and play whoever we wanted to kind of like what Jerry does we don't own the team I hope y 'all actually think Jimmy Haslam, Andrew Barry, and Kevin Stefanski actually listen to us on 9th. Yeah.

31:55Hey, hey, our voice is loud, man. They listen. They might not do what we say, but they hear us. Oh, they listen.

32:07Shannon Sharpe:I need, like I said, if I had a team, yeah, then I get to pick and choose. Be real. Hey, you know there's power in the tongue, huh? what there's power in the tongue you want a team bro Ocho the cheapest team is the Cincinnati Bengals they're valued at 5.5 million 5.5 billion so 10 % of that is 500 million dollars where the hell are we coming there's a reason why you don't see no minority hey you don't know what God has planned for us well I sure hope he reveal it to me real soon hey it's always on his time. It's one thing. Ocho, I ain't interested in that. I don't really care about that, Ocho.

32:53Shannon Sharpe:I don't care about owning no team. It'll be great. It'll be great. Man, you know Ocho and Sharp, they're minority owners with the Dolphins or the Falcons or this or that. It's great to see Ward done. He's a minority owner with the Falcons. It's great. My brother plays in his golf tournament every year. Venus and Serena are minority owners with the Dolphins. It's great. But Ocho, man, you see, you remember that? They're like, Eli wanted to be a minority owner with the, what you call them? A minority is 10 % of less. A billion dollars. He said no. What, what, what, what player other than Michael Jordan can stand and say, go get a loan for a billion dollars.

33:48Shannon Sharpe:Damn, I just think about that. A billion, that's what it takes. 10 % of the Giants is a billion dollars. Who got that kind of money? Shoot. Hey, I know somebody we can go to.

34:02Who? You ever been to Sinaloa, Mexico?

34:07Shannon Sharpe:No. I got a home. And I'm planning on going to Sinaloa, Mexico. I'm just saying, I got a couple of homies. They got a big. Or Cali, Colombia. Yeah, you ask me Do I know anybody got a billion dollars just sitting around? Yeah, I do I don't know if they're giving to us I don't want it I don't want it

34:31Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all just throwing names out Ain't nobody getting no billion dollar loan A billion dollars Y 'all understand a billion dollars A billion Would it be not a hundred million a billion maybe people don't understand how much money that really is it's not they don't Beyonce Beyonce and the billionaire club but here's the thing if you go get a loan for a billion dollars how you living because you got to be now that's all your assets that's not like elon musk worth 750 billion or larry ellison or a brand or page bezos zuckerberg i got a question if elon musk is worth that much right you know how you have you have your bank account apps on your phone if he was to open up one of his accounts how much you think sitting in there

35:30how much do i think he got liquid yeah that's yes

35:39Shannon Sharpe:maybe a billion dollars because what he does is that he borries against the stock that he has if he don't if he don't pay they just take the stock and sell it it's a very complex game that they play and they play it very well yeah and you know that's what that's what people do they borrow it against what they have man if you don't pay it back they just take it and sell it that's crazy it works but

36:16Shannon Sharpe:hell i hope uh uh should do it goes out there and throw for 400 on y 'all oh who for y 'all but but that offensive line that he got protecting him and this is jordan battle DJ Turner. May we not have Demetrius Knight? Did you see that left tackle? Can you imagine if the left tackle for the Browns and the right guard for the Ravens was on the same team? He that bad? What? My thing is I'm trying to figure out how he's been able to play in the league so long and be that bad. Yeah, he terrible.

36:57Hey, you know left tackles a very difficult position huh

37:02Shannon Sharpe:well he should play guard he should play guard or center or right tackle or right guard that's tough man it's a reason why the left tackle make the most money yes it is that blind side

37:21so

37:22Shannon Sharpe:now but we're going to win the lottery we're just going to keep playing the lottery we're gonna let AI chat GPT pick our numbers we're gonna hit it because every time they have a lot of Rochelle guess what they gotta miss the numbers we selected all we got to do is be right one time every time they have a drawing they gotta miss the numbers that we selected we just gotta be You're right once.

I'll go ahead and say real since nobody else will because it's me. I only have 32 targets. There are only zero cornerbacks that had only 32 targets through 600 snaps.

43:09Shannon Sharpe:I only had 22 targets through seven games. I don't get targeted as much as 99.8 % of the other corners in the league. Only like 50 % of those got completed. Two touchdowns allowed. One was on a busted coverage. But at the beginning of the year, only 208 yards allowed all year. Some receivers go for 100 in one game. And I'm missing something? Am I missing something? Also, in my opinion, having a cornerback to take away half the field is the equivalent of having a nice QB. Ocho, what's going on? What's Saul talking about? What's really going on with Saul? When we talk about some of the better corners in the league, I think his name needs to be in the conversation.

43:49Because I think he played in New York. Um, it's, he's seen more, he's seen more and, and always highlighted more, uh, since his rookie season, I think he had, I can't remember how many receptions he had his rookie season, but they have dipped off, but he's still a very, very, very good man-to-man corner. And he can take away a team's best receiver. And he does follow the number one receiver, uh, side to side, wherever, wherever he goes. I think still to this day, he needs to be in that top five conversation of some of the one of the better DBs in the league. When you look at the numbers, don't say you don't like him for whatever reason it may be.

44:28Sometimes he can be a little handsy. Sometimes he can get a call. But he's still a locked down corner in man to man in today's NFL. If you break down the numbers, don't just say you don't like him and just say, oh, he gets toasted or he gets beat. No, let's break down the numbers and compare it to the other good DBs in the NFL. And then you will see he is a top corner still. And he doesn't get targets. So he's not going to have the interceptions that some other players have.

44:54Shannon Sharpe:No, he don't have hands. That's why he don't have interceptions. He can't catch.

45:03Shannon Sharpe:No, but I think me, I just don't. when I look at him, Ocho, I look at him his first year and his second year, and I don't see that same effectiveness. Now, that's not to say that he's not, and maybe that's as high as good as it gets. Because Revis was good, but that 2009 season was out of this world. So if you compare him against his best, then what are we doing? it and so maybe maybe maybe saw set the bar so high and so unrealistic that that was something that he was never going to be able to maintain for three four five six seven eight nine years you know also on for for dbs based on the way the public those who enjoy watching the game fans that love watching the game they just look at numbers interception but yes if you're not getting the opportunities to make the plays, there's really nothing he as a DB can do.

46:07And I think if you have a DB like Sauce, which is why they gave two first round first rounders for him, because I understand not only are we all in, we believe he can take one side of the field away from us, and we can do that much more exotically, defensively with everybody else. Yeah.

46:26Shannon Sharpe:But that's the thing, that's the expectation that he came in and was so good his rookie season. And they tried him his rookie season too. They kept throwing at him. Yeah. He kept picking them things off like a booker. And he – new coordinators, I mean, you know, are they still playing him the same style? The thing is that Rivas was in that Rex Ryan defense. Very aggressive, a lot of man-to-man coverage. Even Coach Belichick, when he got him, put him in man coverage. Because he's not a zone. He's not a zone corner. He likes to be handsy. You look at him when he was at Tampa. Didn't he tear his knee at Tampa?

47:12Shannon Sharpe:I think that's where he got hurt. I didn't know he got hurt. He tore his ACL? Yeah, you know he was at Tampa. Yeah, I know he was at Tampa. I didn't know he tore his ACL. I didn't know he messed up. Isn't that where he tore his ACL?

47:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I didn't know that. Man, look, when people talk about the top corners, they talk about PS2. They talk about Stingley. They talk about Gonzalez. They talk about P2, Junior, Gonzalez. Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson. He was hurt. Yeah, but hey, he is that boy.

48:00Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to think Who's the NFC corners JC Hornbley belongs in the Conversations as well

48:15Keon Mitchell Belongs in that conversation as well Sauce belongs in that conversation as well. When we talk about the better corners.

48:22Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, Mitchell. Mitchell, Cooper, DeJuan, and who's the other?

48:30Shannon Sharpe:Is A.J. Terrell? Did A.J. Terrell make it? We know Mitchell and DeJuan are two. I don't know who the other is. Is it J.C. Horn?

48:49Shannon Sharpe:but hey bro that thing ever evolving it's hard it's hard to stay at the top for a period of time man because them juggles coming absolutely it's hard absolutely

49:06okay oh yeah uh uh spoon spoon from uh yeah the nickel where 21 yeah spoon and uh jc horn tariq well hell if it that's good we might with old tariq tariq tariq willing there too uh denzel ward we got about him so the names you know you go denzel

49:31Shannon Sharpe:war you go passer tan you go stingley you go gonzalez jc horn as well horn you go mitchell you go Dijon you go AJ Terrell when you get injured

49:58Shannon Sharpe:starters right

50:05Shannon Sharpe:Jadavion Clowney has had a solid first season in Dallas and now the Cowboys are hoping to bring the veteran defensive has been back in free agency. Steven Jones said team absolutely wants to resign Jadavian in free agency. He's played at a very high level. We'll be talking to his guy right away. Hopefully, willingness to want to be here and wanting him to be here. Hopefully, we can figure something out. Cliny signed a one-year deal for$3.5 million with the Cowboys in September after going unsigned this offseason, playing the first four games of the team in week four, his first game in week four.

50:40Shannon Sharpe:In 12 games, the former number one overall pick has logged 35 tackles, five and a half sacks, and three passes defended. Yeah. He's going to come back and say, hey, give me a, you know, hey, look, I led a team in sacks, you know, put some incentives in there. Give me four, give me five million. Let me, if I lead a team in sacks, if I lead, if I get 10 sacks, let me get a million. You know, something like that, don't you? Because you're in Dallas, there ain't no state taxes. So you keep it, you know, you keep it a large chunk of your money. yeah give me you keep it about 630 ,000 off every million I don't mean to count the man's pockets but I'm just saying let me get the opportunity to get about 67 million in the center yeah give me that I can do I can work with that Ocho Anthony Joshua the two time former world champion heavyweight boxing champ was hospitalized in stable condition Monday after being involved in a car crash in Nigeria that killed two people who were close friends and team members that were in the car his promoter said eddie hearns match uh match room booking boxing excuse me said that joshua sustained injuries in the accident and was taken to a hospital for check and treatment and will remain there under observation uh it named the members of the close friends cena gammy and lateef aol as the two passengers who were tragically past.

52:07Shannon Sharpe:Photos on social media showed Joshua being extracted from the wrecked vehicle while he was wincing in pain. If the story was being reported is that a tire blew out and the driver lost control and it hit a parked, I think a parked car. It ended up hitting a parked car, Ocho. So I'm assuming because I think they said Joshua was in the back and I guess the people that passed were in the front. the behind oh wow so he's behind the driver that's that's crazy yeah thoughts and prayers go out to uh the family and the loved one that's impacted by this hopefully anthony joshua is okay life is so fickle man well you don't know you don't know what you always say that's the one appointment you can't you can't what you can't reschedule it Ocho and the thing is we don't know we don't know when that part of the schedule we don't know where it's scheduled Ocho time for the play of Fade prize picks presented by prize picks

53:32Shannon Sharpe:Arno Cho, this is from the Ohio State-Miami quarterfinal game. Carnell Tate to have one touchdown in this game. Will he have one rushing or receiving? One receiving, yeah. Okay. Carson Beck. More than he will have at least one passing touchdown. Yeah, because Malachi Tony going to score. Yeah. What are we talking about? Jeremiah Smith will have 81 receiving yards. More or less. That's a good one. As great as he is. I think so. I think so. It's so funny. You got to think everybody Jeremiah Smith playing against in this game coming up on Wednesday. or Saturday? Thursday. It's Wednesday. Wednesday's the first.

54:27Shannon Sharpe:Wednesday. That's the first? Wednesday's the first?

54:34Shannon Sharpe:Oh, I thought it was the first. I thought they played on the first. They played the 31st. Okay. But there is a game on the first too. Yeah, Texas A &M playing in Miami. Is there a Thursday night NFL game? No. Okay. Texas A &M ain't playing nobody. Texas A &M. I'm sorry. Texas Tech. Okay. Yeah, they playing Oregon, right? In Miami. Yeah.

55:07Shannon Sharpe:So you got Jeremiah Smith having 81 yards? Yeah. Yeah, he should be able to get 81. It's so funny. It's so funny, Unc, when you think about it. All them boys Jeremiah Smith going against, they all been playing against each other since pop one yeah that's crazy so okay we're gonna go more Malachi Tony more than 11 yards rushing

55:40what come on now we talk hey we talk about baby Jesus when you him win the game, he's going to be the reason why you didn't win the game.

55:58Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Unc. Ten rush yards. The only one I'm kind of apprehensive about is Carson Beck. Wait, him throwing one TD? Yeah. Against Ohio State defense, he's more apt to throw two picks than one touchdown. Have you been watching our receivers? Have you been watching Ohio State? Yeah. That D-line? Yeah. And have you been watching the receivers for the University of Atlanta? Bro, you scored 10 points against A &M. Stop. You're making it seem like I was going up and down to the field. Okay. Keep the same energy. Keep that same energy. You heard of Malachi Tony? Yeah. Well, you'll see. How you going to get him the ball?

56:46Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he going to get the ball. Don't worry about that. You see all those first-round draft picks they got down there? D-linemen, linebackers. They got the number one rated linebacker. They got the number one rated safety. They got a top D-linemen. Two top D-linemen. And you think them boys at UMC that? We don't see that? But we blind to the fact.

57:07Shannon Sharpe:Man, Louisville got four picks on y 'all. I mean, I didn't go to UMC. I'm just saying I'm from Miami. So, you know, I'm supporting the boys, you know, against Ohio State. You ain't out there playing. That's the only way you can support. I got you. Go catch some touchdown.

57:27Shannon Sharpe:So you said Malachi Tony going to have 11 yards. Yeah.

57:34Shannon Sharpe:All right. I'm going to go. Carnell Tate, Moore, Carson Beck, Lance, Jeremiah Smith, Moore, Malachi, Tony Moore. You better hit it. Yeah, yeah. $25 to win$150.

It's time for our final segment of the evening. and then it's time for Q and A.

58:12Hey, um. Huh? You hear me? Yeah. Hey, what do you call a guy with a rubber toe?

58:22Shannon Sharpe:What do you call a guy with a rubber toe?

58:40Shannon Sharpe:A rubber toe.

58:46Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what you call it. Roberto.

58:57Shannon Sharpe:Lord, have mercy. Keep it up with you. You said, I enjoyed watching the Elway documentary today. Thank you, man. Appreciate that. Like I said, I got an opportunity to sit down with Seven last week, and it's coming out Wednesday. So I'm extremely excited about that. It's been a while since I actually got an opportunity to see him. But he was in good spirits. It's good to see him. It was also good to get back. I didn't really see anybody because we were at the stadium. They were practicing because they had the Christmas Day game, Mocho. So originally we were scheduled to shoot at the facility, but, you know, they moved it, went up going to the stadium, which was great.

59:37Shannon Sharpe:So I appreciate the Broncos letting us have the facility to shoot this. So appreciate it. The Sean Show, Unc Ocho, if y 'all were on the 0-16 Lions or Browns, could y 'all have gotten them a win? No. Absolutely not because quarterback played with that bad. it's hard to overcome bad quarterback play.

1:00:06Shannon Sharpe:Counselor at large, not a gang. Bang, bang. Faithful, baby. Y 'all look good. Moonlight right. Derrick Henry for MVP. Where would the Ravens be without him? Bro, for a running back to get that MVP, he's going to have to break Edie's record and LT's touchdown record. Yep, that means he'd have to have, what, 2 ,000-something yards, 32 touchdowns. Over 2 ,100 and 32 touchdowns.

1:00:40Shannon Sharpe:And then pray somebody done break Peyton Manning's record that same year. Trey Newsome 68, how long does it take for NFL road teams to leave the stadium after the game? Ocho, do you have a joke for us tonight? Ocho, I told you a joke. Normally, they try to leave once the game ends. They try to be after the game and on their way from the stadium one hour after the game.

1:01:12One hour.

1:01:18Shannon Sharpe:Or they'll leave you. I'm telling you, they will.

1:01:26Shannon Sharpe:uh, tonight's your 1367 lions should trade Jerry golf for Lamar Jackson. Why would, uh, why would the Ravens do that?

1:01:46Nah.

1:01:53Okay. that, that, That changes your offense completely.

1:02:01Shannon Sharpe:Hell bell OG. Y 'all stay with me. T. Higgins with the Chiefs or the Bills?

1:02:11Shoot.

1:02:16Either one, he cutting up.

1:02:22Either one. You think he leaving? No. I don't think he's leaving. Absolutely not. But I'm just saying, hypothetically speaking, if the opportunity presented itself, I mean, he go over there with Josh Allen, you already know what's going to happen. Hell, he go over there with Patrick Mahomes when he comes back. Oh, my goodness. Woo! That's a win-win either way you go.

1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:Philly talk with PA. Uck literally just made an argument for Jalen Hurston how every great quarterback has had talent around him to win. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, absolutely.

1:02:58Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what you want me to say.

1:03:07Shannon Sharpe:Bass for Zion, BMO. What do foes did? I don't know. Can do what foes did in Philly. Play the backup and smash mouth as far as Henry can take you. Smash Mouth keeps you winning no matter who injured. Good example, run the ball, old school offense, power downhill with a fullback, 14 personnel. You mean 12 personnel or 13 personnel? I'm assuming he's saying two tights or three tights. I've never heard of 14 personnel, but okay. I don't know if you're going to run your way to a championship. No. I guess they're just talking about the game Saturday against the Sunday night against the Steelers, the Ravens.

1:04:01Shannon Sharpe:The Florida man, what are your thoughts on the Rose Bowl and your prediction? Oh, that's Alabama and Indiana, right? That's the Rose Bowl. That's going to be a good game. I sure hold Ty Simpson.

1:04:20Shannon Sharpe:and Ryan Williams for it. I sure hope we can get a Ryan Williams sighting.

1:04:35Shannon Sharpe:Man, I really want Alabama to win, but I think Indiana's the best team in the country. I do. Indiana by a field goal

1:04:50Shannon Sharpe:Amarion NJ can you do a joke about a guy who used to talk like a robot that joke have me crying what are you talking about what's his name Leo when you told that story I was in tears man I need to I need to call Pastor Ford and ask because he would know. Oh, Leo. Ocho, you got any of your teammates that are pastors? The person that might be a pastor would be Reggie Kelly. Reggie Kelly, if there's anyone that would be a pastor now, be Reggie Kelly. I'm not sure if he went into ministry, but he's the only one I can think of close to it. Yeah, I got a couple homeboys. from college that went to the ministry.

1:05:43Shannon Sharpe:Old School 513 Sensei, Ocho, what do you think about the Saints' future? Shook has been really impressive, and along with Olave, they got a bright future. I'm impressed. I'm impressed with Tyler Shook. I actually am, Ocho. He's 5-3 in his eight starts, and he's gotten better and better and better. He's throwing the ball. He's got quality receivers. Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson, they're playing really well. I do think he comes back I don't think they're going to go in the draft and get a quarterback I think Kelly Moore believes in him I think they're going to go in there and probably get a running back I can see them doing that defensively they keep trying to get Cam Jordan up out of there but he just keeps putting up numbers same thing with Demario Davis I love Chase Young on the side I don't really know a whole lot about their secondary but Tyler Shook I'm impressed with Tyler Shook I'm absolutely impressed he has done enough where he's answered the question at the quarterback position obviously it was a toss up in the offseason through training camp with him and Spencer Rattler but once he got his opportunity like you said he's 5-3 in his last 8 starts and he probably is the quarterback for the foreseeable future

1:07:04Shannon Sharpe:Chad Harvey have you ever thought about being a GM? You mean good morning? No. One Mari underscore Shannon. You know you're supposed to have been a tight ends coach in college or the NFL by now. Start with Savannah State. Absolutely not. I don't want to be no coach. I don't have the patience. Nelly Belly. Hey, listen here. Mike Tomlin better keep that job. Well, he better win.

1:07:38Shannon Sharpe:Quentin Mays 1089 talking like a ref in that pew pew league what league bro 828 style so been a Steelers fan since 72 Mike T is the biggest fraud in Steelers history he always lives in living his fears he allowed teams to dictate how his team played only thing he cares about is going 9-8 and Tomlinson's. He's a Jag.

1:08:13Shannon Sharpe:What's his Ocho? Nah. I don't know about a Jag. He's a Super Bowl winning coach, huh? He is a Super Bowl winning coach, Ocho. I mean, it's hard to get back there, you know? Obviously, you didn't want to piss Ben Roethlisberger off when he was in the decline and you decided not to get a quarterback. and he's been struggling with Christ. Well, that's what you got to do. You got to make tough, Ocho, you're the coach. You got to make tough decisions. You have to, but they didn't. They didn't do it. And they paid for it now. Yeah, they've been in purgatory ever since. No, Blake. The media vilifies players over contract.

1:08:49Shannon Sharpe:If coaches' salaries counted, agents, the cap, would they see the same vilifications? No. Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

1:09:03Shannon Sharpe:for whatever reasons, people see, man, I could be an athlete. Most people don't think they could be a coach. I don't know what it is about an athlete, something about an athlete, that people, they don't get, they don't get, if, let's just say the highest paid, Dak Prescott makes$60 million. If somebody's willing to pay you$60 million, how much do you think they're making? Has that ever crossed you? But it don't cross their mind. It don't even cross their mind. So if you're paying DAC$60 million, CD$34 million, you got three D tackles making$20 million, you got Trayvon Diggs making$19 million, well, how much is the owner making to be able to pay those salaries?

1:09:54Shannon Sharpe:And along with the other salaries and the coach's salary and the people in the stadium salaries and the front office salary and the secretary's salary and HR's salary. But I don't know what it is. Billionaires, and not just owners, billionaires have done a great job of tricking people. And they're like, no, don't worry about us. It's them that's greedy. It's the players that's greedy. We're not greedy. Even though we ask you to give us$2,$3 billion to build a stadium, it's not us. not us we're not greedy yeah we worth 15 20 30 40 billion dollars but hey we could use a little your taxes you know my I got I got my mega yacht sitting out there that cost 300 million man why such a they don't look at that go back do a study pull up how many owners have yachts Ethan Carr I think Pickens is the closest thing to T.O.

1:10:58Shannon Sharpe:Since T.O. No. Don't do that.

1:11:04Don't do that. No. T.O. is in a class of his own. T.O. is in a class with Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, and it's those three, and then it's everybody else.

1:11:19Shannon Sharpe:No, don't do that. Star underscore tutor. I concur. Shadour is going in for the win. I sure hope he can get it. Nothing would make me happier than you do a winning on Sunday. Against who, the Bengals? I just said, I don't know who he's playing against, Ocho. I just said I want him to win. That's all I said, Ocho. You know the Browns playing the Bengals, and I already told you. Listen, I'm going to the last game. And you know any time I go to the last game, you know my Bengals win. And it's not going to happen. Listen, I like the Browns. I love Shadour. I love Miles Garrett and Denzel Ward, but they're not winning that last game.

1:12:03Shannon Sharpe:I just want that. Look, Shadour played well, and Miles Garrett getting that sack, I don't care what that is. Oh, he ain't getting that sack. I can say that now. He getting that sack. Nah, nah. QS54, my wife and I are expecting our first child. What advice can you give us for the first-time parent, and what do you wish you knew sooner? Appreciate the show. Well, first of all, congratulations. Oh, Joe, what's the first time? What's the month? Well, the first thing I would tell you, if you're a first-time parent, you only haven't won, even numbers are bad luck. I mean, odd numbers are bad luck. So as soon as she, you know, you give birth, you get back in there, and you need two.

1:12:45Let's start there. You need two. Outside of that, anything that I would know, everything at that point, once I had kids, had kids everything is and for and about them everything i do everything and you you'll you'll understand that everything changes especially when you have girls

1:13:13uh true very very true bro it's trial and error they done written a thousand books

1:13:23Shannon Sharpe:but they're writing books how to parents they don't have your child they don't have your experience I mean some people kids sleep through the night some people kids don't sleep at all some people kids don't have no issues some people kids have a rough upbringing bro enjoy the experience because that's what you're about to have, an experience. Enjoy that. Quentin Mays, 1089. Have you seen the new Madden movie trailer? Might see it, Unc. I did. Nicolas Cage is John Madden, didn't he? Yeah, I think I saw that. I might check it out. Hunger Taker, yo, Unc, Ocho, big fan. Don't watch live often, but I'm here.

1:14:19Shannon Sharpe:My question is, what concerns do you have for each team in the NFL playoffs? Because it's one game. Anything, a bad game, a bounce, you know, a throw here, throw there, a fumble, interception, a missed call, a call, a phantom call, it's over. Every play counts. Every play counts. Yes. There's no room for error. Yes, it's finality.

1:14:50Shannon Sharpe:uh lee mason uh dash 12s ocho trying to turn unk into swiss cheese by going to senador asking for a loan i ain't going to senador now i'm good i'm hey listen i'm good i'm good in senador i got a place out there i got a place in juarez mexico too i don't think people understand you know i have dual citizenship huh the the people in mexico they love me not just the people that the good, just the normal citizens, but even those that people aren't really fond of.

1:15:23Shannon Sharpe:Okay, I take your word for it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jacob Mata 21, Ocho, people are always asking who could stop y 'all on the field. Can y 'all name the great DCs and assistants that can scheme some things that make y 'all get nothing? Dick LeBeau. Look. Dick LeBeau with the Steelers. Marvin Lewis when he was with the Ravens. Also, anybody can get stopped if you're willing to junk your defense or your offense to stop them. If I want to stop you bad enough, I can – but I'm going to compromise something. How bad do I want to compromise myself just to prove a point to make it difficult for you?

1:16:09Shannon Sharpe:So – I'm trying to think. Who did I play against?

1:16:21Shannon Sharpe:man it's been so long I don't remember defensive coordinator that I played against whatever they came up with it didn't work Eric Hill can fantasy league can fantasy league teams the trolls get out get a shout out for winning the championship year of the troll well congratulations fantasy y 'all won the championship I don't know who y 'all had somebody got y 'all got 50 points who got all them points oh Derrick Henry Derrick Henry had a bunch of damn points Derrick Henry had two touchdowns 216 yards how many fantasy points did Derrick Henry have
