In short

Updated NFL coaching carousel and contract drama (Dolphins hire Jeff Hafley; Giants’ John Harbaugh contract holdup), plus quarterback and injury outlooks (CJ Stroud improvement, Seahawks Zach Charbonnet season-ending knee injury), and Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy returning.

Guests (named in transcript)

No specific guest interviewees are identified. The episode is presented as a sports talk segment with recurring hosts/speakers (including “Ocho” and “Unc” style commentary), but the transcript does not clearly list guest names or backgrounds.

Key claims

  • Dolphins hired Packers DC Jeff Hafley to a five-year deal; Dolphins still have a 25-year playoff win drought.
  • Giants’ John Harbaugh contract issue reportedly centered on reporting structure (directly to owner John Mara vs GM Joe Schoen).
  • CJ Stroud needs to “flush” a bad performance and return to quarterback fundamentals; the defense can win games if turnovers stop.
  • Seahawks’ Zach Charbonnet suffered a significant knee injury requiring surgery.
  • Chiefs expect Eric Bieniemy back as OC; Matt Nagy’s contract is expiring.

Notable examples

  • Dolphins last playoff win: Dec 30, 2000 vs Colts.
  • Stroud: criticism tied to multiple turnovers and a pick-six; improvement framed as “don’t turn it over.”
  • Raiders speculation: Lamar Jackson trade talk dismissed as unrealistic; Raiders’ QB named as Fernando Mendoza (in the discussion).

1:37Shannon Sharpe:Miami Dolphins have a new head coach on show, the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator, Jeff Halfley, as their next head coach. Dolphins signed Halfley to a five-year contract. He joins new general manager, John Eric Sullivan, whom the Dolphins hired to replace longtime GM Chris Greer this month. Sullivan and Halfley overlapped for the past two seasons together in Green Bay. The Dolphins have not won a playoff game in 25 seasons. The longest such drought in the NFL. The Miami Dolphins last won a playoff game December 30th, 2000 against the Indianapolis Colts. Halfley was a senior at Siena. Before his two years at the D.C.

2:17Shannon Sharpe:in Green Bay, Halfley was head coach at Boston College, where he went 22 and 26 in four seasons. Happily is the eighth straight head coach hired by the Dolphins who had no previous NFL head coaching experience. The last Dolphins head coach with previous head coaching experience was Dave Wonstadt in 2000. Hey, I remember Dave, huh? I remember Dave. He was a D.C. hit Dallas, no championship team for the long year. Hey, but listen, Mr. Happily, boy, he got his work cut out for him, huh? He got his work cut out for him. And for one, you have no head coaching experience. Now, you do have experience in general being around the atmosphere and being a coach in general.

2:59Shannon Sharpe:You call plays on the defensive side, and I'm sure that's what he told Mr. Ross that I'm going to call plays on the defensive side. Go ahead, O. But calling plays on the defensive side is not the problem. What you going to do on the offense? Who's going to be the quarterback? Who's going to be a leader at the helm? That's the issue right now. You look at the goddamn AFCs. You got Drake May playing all world out his mind. You got Josh Allen. He's not going nowhere no time soon. Now, the Jets is probably a team you don't have to worry about as of right now because, hell, they ain't got no goddamn quarterback either.

3:33Nope. So at some point, somebody pulling up the reel, who is it going to be? It's either going to be the Dolphins or going to be the Jets. Until we find a quarterback, both of us in purgatory.

3:46Shannon Sharpe:Let's just say somebody going to be coming in last place. that's pulling up the rear huh are you sure well if you're pulling up the rear that means you're in the back am I saying something wrong or you don't like the way it sounds yeah yeah that just sound you know oh my bad my bad my bad okay my bad I got you my bad my bad but you're right if you don't have a quarterback I don't give a damn what division you in you ain't competing

4:27Shannon Sharpe:you're not competing no joke you're not he got two years you hear me or Halfley yeah man he got two years boy maybe not even that you know he signed a five year deal didn't they just sign McDaniel tour or an extension? Exactly. That's why I said, what'd that mean? He just signed a foul year deal? What'd that mean? Well, these owners want instant gratification. They want instant success because the same way they run their businesses, when they want their businesses to work and they want to see return on investment really fast, they just pour my money into it. That's not the way the game of football works.

5:06You can't pour money. Well, actually, you can pour money into it, but there's a thing called a salary cap which doesn't allow you to do like the Dodgers do. You can't be like the goddamn Los Angeles Dodgers.

5:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And if you could, who the top teams, they'll win every goddamn year. I don't know. You like Malik Willis to the Dolphins? Now we talking. Now we talking some business. We making some sense. I had to get up out my seat, man. Malik Willis to the Dolphins. I saw enough. I saw enough of him when Jordan Love went down with the goddamn Packers. Now, the problem is you have to understand the supporting cast that was around him as well now. Right. Now, he doesn't have that same support. There is no Watson. Now, we got a Jalen Waddle. We got Waddle. We got Washington. I'm assuming Darren Waller will be back.

6:04But, God damn, he was loaded with receivers over there.

6:07Shannon Sharpe:Let me ask you this. would you rather have Malik Willis or Kyler Murray oh hold on let me go to my thoughts okay

6:30you know what that's a good one right there now you got me stumped right there matter of fact I'm going to revert to the goddamn chat chat if even if you're not a dolphin fan who would you like better as a quarterback we saw a small sample side of malik willis obviously in tennessee that doesn't count but you saw what he did when joe love got hurt with the packers he looked goddamn phenomenal we've seen kyle murray we know what kyle murray can do we've seen a bigger sample size of him even though things didn't work out in arizona now the dolphins we are in dire need of someone at the quarterback position.

7:03Yes. No disrespect to Quinn Ears or Tua, but I'm just saying.

7:10Shannon Sharpe:I think Tua's gone. I think you need to start thinking about someone else other than Tua. Right. Because the reports are that the quarterback did not have to be married to Tua, which means there's a – Ocho, you don't bench a quarterback the last three games with the anticipation. Now, look, this is a different coaching staff. Right. So they might come in and have a different philosophy or a different thought process on Tua. That could be the case. I don't think so. I don't either. I don't think so. I'm just trying to look at it from – Yeah. I know. I understand you're trying to be gracious, but when a new coaching staff comes in, they're going to want a fresh start.

7:46They're going to want to pick their quarterback. Yeah, they're going to want their guy. Hey, somebody making fun of what I'm wearing. Y 'all so rude. Why y 'all being so mean to me? Like, I got feelings. Yeah. I'm wearing a sporting Lisbon for those who watch soccer sporting Lisbon jacket and I got some cheetah pants I bought off Shine. You shop on Shine? I don't.

8:12Shannon Sharpe:No? No, I don't. You like my pants? I mean I like them on you. I mean that's not me. I couldn't wear something like that. Oh, okay. They were$20 on Sheen or Shine. I don't even know how to pronounce it. I don't know if they could give them. They couldn't give them to me but. No? You know it's 40 degrees in Miami, right? I believe it. I don't know what the hell was going on today. I done had this on all day. It's cold as hell outside. Yeah. Shine. No, you know, it is shine. S-H-E-I-N. It's like an affordable site. Like... Not Forever 21. What's the one for men? T-MU? No, not T-Mu. The other one, they have a man's line and a woman's line.

9:05Damn. H &M? No, no. Ross? Marshalls? No, they own Fashion Nova. Fashion Nova, okay. Yeah. I think Shine is in that realm of you can get good pieces. If you know how to dress, it's not about buying expensive stuff and just knowing how to put stuff together to make it look like it costs money. Yeah, but I mean, mean i mean i uh hey want me to get your petties no no 57 year old should be in no leopard print unless you mick jagger oh you aren't you stylish man you are mick jagger is the only one that should be wearing leopard print nah a print print is a part of print print and fashion in general is not for me it's an expression of yourself i choose to express myself in other ways okay

9:58Shannon Sharpe:i got you i don't got no problem with a a man or a young man or wearing leopard print to each his own that's just not for me yeah you should i look good at it though you know i can not know hey i can kind of get maybe a jacket yeah could i wear a jacket yeah okay okay i ain't wearing no pants i got you my bad my bad i mean i just oh now they calling me ashy man damn hey what would i have on lotion in the house who wears lotion in the house i ain't got nobody to impress no but that's the new thing man i i mean look i ain't know i didn't know uh-huh i didn't know that so many men watch what other men wear.

10:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It'd be on that heavy one. I like what? Damn. Yeah, it'd be on that heavy one. If I was trying to impress you, you would have a legitimate case, but I buy clothes for me. Right, same. I buy what I like. Yeah. Yeah, and you really have to be a wolf, huh? Really not to care what nobody else thinks when most of everybody else is, you know, they sheep, huh? Did you see my picture I tweeted today? yeah with the kids with the kids sleep I like that picture in the back boy I had an ex that brought me that for my birthday that was nice boy that's one of the nicest birthday gifts I've ever received from anybody yeah that ain't got nothing to do with money either no no no no I had no idea I'm like what the hell is this man when I saw that I bet you was crying I almost teared up I did that's a good gift there boy because that's what we had my grandma in that pink hat and everything so man it was my boys would sleep when I come home Mocho they

13:15No, I won't do that. I won't do that.

13:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you will. You slick. You real slick with your mind. I wasn't even thinking like that, huh? Yeah, you was. I wasn't thinking like that. You were. I promise you I wasn't. No, I got to stay on mine because I already know you always on some bulljive. You always. Run that back one more time. Run that back one more time. What'd you say now? Nope. Nope. The updated NFL coaching landscape. Titans, Robert Sala. Giants, John Harbaugh. Falcons, Kevin Stefanski. Dolphins, Jeff Hatley. The Bills, Steelers, Ravens, Browns, Cardinals, Raiders. Now, there was 10 openings. Now there are only six left. And the best of the six left is the Bills.

14:03don't absolutely that's the best that's left is the coaches should be strambling and fighting for that job you think the bill's better than the ravens oh okay that's 50 50 that's 50 50 and it's only 50 50 simply because of the quarterback situation okay the quarterback give you your best chance to win right now yes now it's up to you as a coach they're filling all the missing pieces to make your team competitive. How can we get the Baltimore Ravens back to playing like a Raven?

14:41Shannon Sharpe:Running back, James Cook, Derrick Henry. James Cook led the league in rushing, Derrick Henry was second. The wide receiver position might go to Baltimore because Zay Flowers is better than any wide receiver that they have. But the tight end position What about Shakir? You don't like Shakir? You think Shakir better than Zay? No, I mean, not better, but they're very similar in style in what they do. I think Zay is a little bit... What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court.

15:24Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave. And then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes, too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night. You can't be rolling around the city like this tonight for games. No, you know, doing this, doing whatever.

15:59Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized Game with Stewie and Miles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And this is Freddy Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera. What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? Is to value time, to be cognizant of time and how important time is.

16:42Because once the time is up, it's up and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that pushed us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault in Our Stars, And now, I guess also as the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.

17:21I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist. And John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer... Football. is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team. Very debatable. And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

17:58Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer is the most important. Listen to The Away End with Daniel Alarcón and John Green on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

18:13Shannon Sharpe:Zay spends a little bit more time outside. Shakira is mainly a slot receiver. The tight ends, you got Knox Kincaid versus Likely is gone. He's gone? You think so? He's gone. Because they just gave Andrew three years$40 million. He gone. Damn. At least Andrew. I think the offensive line, I might get a slight offensive line to Buffalo. To Buffalo? What do you mean slight? As long as they got that right guard there. What's his name, huh? Villaley?

18:51Shannon Sharpe:Villay. Fish Villay. Hey. Hey, boy. Hey, man. Somebody put a compilation of him and, like, just hit nobody. Man, for, like, it's a video for about a minute, two minutes long. Yeah. Man, I was in tears. Oh, man, that joke. He was, hey, blocking nobody. I was in tears rolling, man. That joke was sticking his hand out here, and both guys ran by it. I'm like, bro, what are you doing? What is that? Who's that up there? What do you got? Oh. Oh, man. According to Ian O 'Connor, the contract holdup between John Harbaugh and the Giants centered around reporting structure. Harbaugh needed in writing that he would report directly to owner John Moura not GM Joe Shine.

19:40Shannon Sharpe:A Harbaugh reported directly to ownership in Baltimore, but that has not been the structure with the Giants. Shone recused himself from negotiations over the last couple of days. Look, he had that set up in Baltimore. Right. It's hard, Ocho. Once you've been in a position and this is what you're used to, for you to go any other way. That's why I think it'll be hard for Coach Belichick. Coach Belichick had total autonomy. The only person he reported to was Mr. Kraft. And Mr. Kraft, for the most part, there's only one decision that Mr. Kraft says, okay, and that was to keep Brady and get rid of Garoppolo.

20:25Shannon Sharpe:Other than that, he sided with Coach Belichick on everything. Even when the rubber needed to meet the road at the end of 20 years, he said, okay, Billy.

20:37Shannon Sharpe:So I think it'd be very hard. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it'd be hard that you got to report to a general manager. You're not in charge of the 53. You're not in charge of the draft. You're not in charge of the free agency. Oh, should that be extreme? When you've had that kind of control for 20 years? Yeah. Listen, I told you. I told you, see, now that this is going on and they're having some tug of war in the language that's in the contract, now what's the chance of him pulling out of that and going over to Buffalo but I think they got it done now I think that was a problem but I think I think that language did get into the contract Sean he recused himself so I think the contract is done now Ocho

21:28Shannon Sharpe:but you see what he did Ocho get it in writing I ain't taking your word for nothing because you You see? Oh, yeah, that'll be no problem. And then all of a sudden, no, you got to go through it. No, see? Get it in writing. Yeah, they'll play with you now. Yeah. There's been speculation that the Ravens and the Raiders could end up discussing a trade that would send Lamar Jackson to Las Vegas. There's a feeling out there that the Raiders are going to make a play for Lamar. That's a big splash. If the Raiders, you'd give up all these pieces for Lamar over drafting Mendoza, with the first overall pick.

22:07Man, stop playing with my dog like that, man.

22:10Shannon Sharpe:This makes no sense to me. Whoever even came up with that report about making a splash and making a play for Lamar, man, stop playing, man. Stop playing. The quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders will be Fernando Mendoza with the number one overall pick. Okay? Fernando Mendoza's receiver on the right or the left, his ex, will probably be George W.B. Pickens. Okay? and that's pretty much it they're gonna revamp everything over there in las vegas and that's pretty much it they definitely need to do something don't you i don't know what all they're gonna do but they need to do something yeah absolutely um

Read the full transcript

22:52Shannon Sharpe:the quarterback will definitely help but i still think they're just so many pieces away man they don't really have no wide receivers now if they get george pickett all that i mean you got We got Brock Bowers, but when I say wide receivers, we don't. Brock Bowers, when you list Brock Bowers, they have T.E. by the end of his name. Right. When you mention McBride, they have T.E. So when we say wide receivers, we're not talking about the tight end. We're talking about the guys that are wide receivers. They don't have any. Their best one, they traded to Jacksonville, I think, for a third or a fourth round pick.

23:27Shannon Sharpe:So they got a pick coming back. Right. I don't know if they have any compensatory picks. but with that being said, they're still a long ways away. Yeah. They're in the back. They're in the back of the class for a minute because everybody got substantial quarterbacks. You got Mahomes in that division, you got Herbert in that division, and you got Bo Nix in that division. Woo! Now, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, I don't think Max Crosby would be upset if you were to trade him. It all depends on where you're going to trade him. Yeah. And what you can get for him. Oh, you're going to get a first-round pick for him.

24:08Yeah, what you can get for him and help him to build that team and get some pieces. Because, I mean, with him you lost, so without him you could lose too. So why not? While he's extremely valuable, if you trade him, get what you can. Yeah. Get what you can. Yeah. I can't wait to see Pickens in that goddamn black and silver. Huh? Hey, call it, Unc. Call it, call it, call it.

24:37Shannon Sharpe:What you want? Blue 17. Blue 17. Say it.

24:45Hey,

24:55Unc. Well, I'm still quick as hell, boy.

24:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I see that. God damn. And my knees still hurt.

25:04oh i feel like i can play boy i could play i know you can man nah i'm talking about what hey um right now right now at 58 um i'm telling you i can give you four quarters third downs yeah change for a dollar the four quarters you do it nah nah nah nah i'm telling you put me out put me out get put now you know how competitive i am yes man i man i wish we all

25:30Shannon Sharpe:I feel competitive in our very own minds. Yeah, give me an opportunity to get out on that field right now. Man, I saw these little young dudes up, man. They don't understand. It's different here, boy. First time you go full out, you're going to pull a hamstring. I'm going to tell your hamstring to smooth out the bone. I play soccer every weekend full out. Ocho, you ain't running no full speed. You have to. It's 11 v 11, unk. It's not the little field. I don't care nothing about that.

25:57Shannon Sharpe:I'm ready, boy. Stay out the field. Hey, you talking about, man, talking about pulling stuff. Hey, my knee's good, bud.

26:10Shannon Sharpe:Man, you the hell poochie.

26:16What's up? I'm Miles Turner. And I'm Brianna Stewart. And our podcast, Game Recognized Game, has never been done before. Two active players giving you a real look at our lives and what we actually think on and off the court. Nothing's off limits. We talk trade requests. What's the vibe of that when it's like your star player is like, well, I want to leave and then actually now I'm going to stay. We talk tanking. I mean, honestly, like, I might get in trouble for this answer, but I think it's like definitely happening in the WBA. And yeah, we talk about our mistakes too. They pulled me to the side and was like, hey, man, we got a call last night.

26:53You can't be rolling around the city like this the night before games. No, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. And I'll be like, Mommy, why did you miss that? Mommy, do you play basketball? Check out Game Recognized Game with Studi and Miles on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Wilmer Valderrama. And this is Freddy Rodriguez. Welcome back to Dos Amigos. Dos Amigos Season 2, baby! This time, we're going even deeper into our careers, our lives, our art, and everything in between. Each episode emanates from our very own speakeasy where we swap stories about the moments that really shaped us on and off camera.

27:36What do we invest in right now? What is the immediate advice you give people right now? Is to value time, to be cognizant of time and how important time is. Because once the time is up, it's up and then that's it. And the relationships, collaborations, and even the failures that pushed us to grow. And the common denominator is that we have the same people with us since like 30, 40 years ago, right? Like we have a lot of the same homies that stuck around. Plus, the door always stays open for a third amigo to pull up a chair. Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

28:16I'm John Green. You may know me as the author of The Fault in Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast. I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist, and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World Cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old, I watched every game, and I fell in love. On our new podcast, The Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football, all leading up to the 2026 World Cup. For us, soccer... Football... ...is a story we've shared for over 30 years, since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

28:51Very debatable. and I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty. Together, we'll find out why, of all the unimportant things, football, soccer is the most important. Listen to The Away End with Daniel Alarcon and John Green on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm flexible, too.

29:19Shannon Sharpe:Look at that joker, stiffener the fence post. Huh? That joke was stiffen as a fistful. Aw, man, look at that!

29:30Shannon Sharpe:Nah, you better stay on the sideline with me, man. Stay on the sideline with me. Ocho, Joe Burrow hasn't tweeted in two years. This is what he treated today. The amount of people that don't understand what a catch is in the rulebook flabbergasts me. And it's not the official. The two plays yesterday were not difficult calls. They got them both right. Yeah, listen, you was right. You was right. They're talking about the Hutchinson play. The Hutchinson play, do y 'all realize that he caught the ball, took off running, his knee touched, and then Gonzalez popped it out? As opposed to a guy that just drops to the ground and in the process, J-Mac?

30:12Shannon Sharpe:I mean, y 'all thought, do those plays look the same to you? One guy was a runner, his knee goes down.

30:22Shannon Sharpe:Hutch was a runner. Which game, which game, which game were these tweets referring to, huh? He's talking about the play in Denver and the play in Houston. Remember when Gonzalez popped it out of Hutch? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hutch ran, Ocho. Yeah. He was running. Mm-hmm. And in the process of getting ready to go down, his knee hits. That's different than you catching the ball and going straight down. Yeah, because the question is, let me ask you this. If he catches that ball and he goes straight down and it pops out, what is it?

31:01Bumble. It's incomplete. Incomplete. Incomplete. Unless you make a football move. You got to make a football move.

31:07Shannon Sharpe:Jackie said, well, what about likely? Likely is in the end zone. In order for it to be rude to catch, they got three steps. If you go look before that first step hit down, the guy ripped it out. Mm-hmm.

31:25Shannon Sharpe:just go look you can see they slowed it down even uh was that a sunday night game yes that was sunday night game you could see he goes one two and the third is about the uh pittsburgh guy pulled it out uh as a matter of fact it was uh uh jp2 he pulled it out yeah they're they're they're totally different plays Brandon Cooks didn't take us He goes straight down And I knew what happened He showed him the ball He said he showed me the ball And I know if he showed me the ball He got to bring it down Ain't no way he gonna hold it up here So in the process of bringing it down Trying to put it to his body You gonna see his hand This the ball Ocho His hands are right there Bring it to me He brought it right to him

32:16Shannon Sharpe:Devontae ran and if he hit we're moving on your team lost if you was for Buffalo your team lost if you was for Chicago your team lost now go argue in an echo chamber in a who? echo chamber today D 'Amico Ryan was asked to provide a big picture assessment of CJ Stroud's play during the 2025 season I'm not going to let bad plays there in that game against the Patriots dictate to me who CJ is I know who CJ is I know what he's capable of doing we just gotta keep looking to get better no one feels worse about the situation than CJ he feels bad for the team he feels like he let the team down so where does Ryan want to see CJ improve for 2026 I talked to CJ today and my message is the same.

33:17Shannon Sharpe:Right now, it's just about him flushing out this one. It's going to get a lot of negative talk, a lot of attention on him. He can't listen to it all. He just has to get back to work in the offseason, going back to the basics, the fundamentals of playing the quarterback position and playing it really well, understanding how we need to play the game to win the game. He understands that already. I just told him, don't listen to anything. Put your phone away. Don't listen to anything. because it's going to be a lot of negativity. Talk out there about you. Specifically, I just told him, get away, clear his mind, because right now, at this moment, I know there's going to be a lot of attention on him, a lot of negative media, and today, a lot of questions about him.

34:04Shannon Sharpe:Ochoa, all he has to do, with that defense, you don't need to be Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes Joe Burrell they don't have those defenses you need to be Trent Dilfer you need to be Brad Johnson you need to be Jim McMahon that's good enough with that defense

34:30Shannon Sharpe:that pick six I still don't know what he was trying to do on that pick six do you know what he was trying to do? no sir, I don't I don't. You know, for CJ Stroud, he has no reason to be down on himself. Now, for us, myself, and you, for myself and you, we were critical of him because of his play. Yes. It was poor. It was poor. He played like Mr. Hankey off South Park in that game. There was no reason to have that many turnovers. You're not even giving your team a chance to even win the game. As great as that defense is, you're putting the defense in harm's way, causing them to play in overdrive in a sense and you don't have nico collins so you need to be at your best as often as you can most of the time when it comes to the playoff the team that makes the least mistakes win wins the game and you made multiple of those mistakes and still almost had an opportunity to keep your team in the game and have a chance to win it obviously you didn't win it but for cd stroud why i said he doesn't need to keep his head down is because i want you to understand where the Houston Texans were before you got there.

35:37And how because of you, once you did get there, how things turned around. How things changed as far as the record is concerned. CJ Stroud, they was bad before you got there, boy. You are the answer. You are the future. You just have to be better in the right moments. Now as a rookie in your third year, there are opportunities and there are situations that you've been in, that now that you've been in them already, you can't make those mistakes again. That's how you get

36:01Shannon Sharpe:better. I can name five quarterbacks that could have won that game yesterday. And I bet the five-year-old name was some of the best of the game. And I ain't talking about Josh Allen. I'm not talking about Lamar Jackson. I'm talking about Mahomes. I'm not talking about Malik Willis wins that game yesterday. All they had to do was not turn the ball over. Yeah. All they had to do was not turn the ball over. Okay, Ocho, you got one. Just don't turn it over four times. Right. Because guess what? How many times did your defense bail you out by taking the ball right back? Back, yeah, back again, yeah.

36:34Shannon Sharpe:and you would have thought, say, you know what, man? Damn, I could have, I mean, if Pittsburgh had any resemblance of an offense, but a pick six, a scoop and score, they got, we got 14 points. Right. We only scored 30. So really, offensively, we only scored six. And I'm looking, I'm like, bro, do you understand? Because I think sometimes, Ocho, sometimes, is that when you play with somebody, and it's hard because you see what Jane Daniels and you see Caleb Williams and you see all these quarterbacks that's very similar to your age and you see them making these spectacular plays, but they don't have your defense.

37:16Shannon Sharpe:It's required of them to make spectacular plays or they don't win. You can be mundane. You can be pedestrian with that defense. You still have a chance. Man, with Hunter and Anderson, and they're good at 2-0-2-0. and

37:35Shannon Sharpe:Ajir. And you look at Stingley, Lazarin, and Petrie. Bro! You got Hunter, you got Rankin, you got Settle, you got

37:47Shannon Sharpe:Mario Edwards Jr. Bro, you loaded! Just don't put the ball in harm's way, and we good. You know, you're going to learn from it. You're going to learn from it. You're going to get this taste out your mouth. You need this to continue to grow. I'm hoping. You take the time you need. Take your time off. Reset mentally. Get away from the game of football right now. Disconnect from it and come back and ready to work. We in January on? Yes. January, February. Take about six weeks off. About March. When March hit, slowly, gradually get yourself back into it. And stay off. You don't need to do any podcast.

38:30Shannon Sharpe:anybody ask you about anything say nah I don't need I don't want to talk you don't got nothing to say you can't you can't express yourself huh no what do you really want to express yourself after this performance yeah you I want to talk about how bad I play I want to face the music no you ain't gonna talk about he gonna talk about that I want I want to face the music I played bad I let my teammates down I let myself down I am my own big biggest critic no matter what anyone else has said about me on on any platform i played it i'm gonna fix the situation and i'm here to tell y 'all don't tell us about it show us okay i'm from you know i was born in missouri ocho for real the show me state show me oh oh oh you got me you got me they don't hey don't be up don't talk about it be about it okay i got you i got you let me ask you a question uh-huh Mahomes second year.

39:25Shannon Sharpe:MVP. Did he go in on anybody and tell you how great he was? No. You ever hear Manning? You ever hear Brady? They downplaying. Now behind closed doors, if CJ wants to toot his own horn behind closed doors, have at it. But as a quarterback, because this game will humble your ass quick. Oh, yeah, it will. It will. It will. It will. What I don't want him to do, I don't want him to lose his confidence, though. I don't want him to have that that I'm him. I still want him to have that, but I think he went a little wrong by saying it. Yeah, you know, as a quarterback, you can't do that. Now, receivers, I get it.

40:02You know, DBs, I get it. You know, we can do that. But, you know, the quarterback position is a little different. You have to carry yourself a certain way. You got to talk a certain way. You got to be politically correct, which I don't like. It's frowned upon to be anything but that, especially when you're the face of a franchise. so listen listen it growing pains growing pace he I think he's going to be right because he's a tremendous talent he's a tremendous yeah you know no doubt yeah they I think they'll they and he will get things fixed so he's better for the Texans I hope so

40:36Shannon Sharpe:because I hate that you wasted such a historic defense this year

40:44Shannon Sharpe:they could fly around they could they man they were This was good. This is old-fashioned defense, defense that I'm used to seeing. Guys can pressure your quarterback. They're physical. They do a great job of tackling. Mm-hmm. But you can't turn that ball over. No. You can't overcome those mistakes. Look at the teams this weekend, Ocho, that lost the turnover battle. All of them are going on. All of them lost, huh? All of them. that's not an accident it's not football playoff has always been about who can take it away and who can take care of it

41:31oh yeah

41:32Shannon Sharpe:I think we had what man I think in the postseason I think we had one turnover in Baltimore in 2000 against the Raiders we didn't turn it over against Denver. We didn't turn it over against Tennessee. Had one turnover. But we took it away a bunch. Damn. You noticed something tonight? What's that? Notice my camera ain't went off? Yeah, what happened? And the quality is good? Yes. It got so many damn settings and buttons on it. Someone told me to put it on auto. then I went to the menu and went to something I went to streaming output and I put it on USB and they told me to do something else with the settings and now it's working perfectly well I'm glad Ocho I'm glad you figured it out I'm happy I'm happy I don't know why these cameras come with all these goddamn buttons anyway I don't know why they come with them either Ocho but I'm glad on and off that's all I need and they come with like 37 000 buttons and in the menu you go on the menu and it's like three different layers of man what is i mean come on man i just want to turn my camera on i just want to film man that's it well i sure hope it stays like this that's really nice i got got good quality i think you can see me in 4k too boy yeah you look i need a little haircut but i look good i sent you that thing about that guy got that got his hair tattooed in his head who got it who got who got a tattoo in the head i got hair got tattooed i said yeah this is right here for ojo i sent it to you oh yeah yeah hold on hey um i think for the live show right yeah when i do the live show i'm gonna think i'm gonna come out there with a new look you're going there with that unit yeah i'm gonna think i'm gonna get the unit like you know oh you i thought you gonna get the beer unit okay i'm gonna get the beer unit so we can match yeah i'm gonna get the beer unit or you have gray in it too no i ain't gonna do the gray because i i don't i'm not i ain't gonna do the gray i don't i don't look good with that salt and pepper yeah but i mean ocho you do realize this is a part of asian unless you pakistani or indian oh you know i got a little cherokee in me i got a little uh you drove a cherokee no no i got a little cherokee in me you know uh i did my i did my my dna my ancestry treat boy you ain't got nothing Indian in you.

44:04Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Hey, Unk. Yeah. I guess so you were the chief, huh? You were the chief, huh? No, no, no. My uncle Tutu. My uncle Tutu was a Native American with the Cherokee tribe.

44:20Yeah. I'll tell you no lie. So he was a Cherokee,

44:23Shannon Sharpe:not a Chickasaw, not a Choctaw? Nah, nah. He was Cherokee. He was Cherokee. Not a Shawnee? Listen, that's what the ancestry chief told me. Okay. Now, if it's a If it's a lie, the ancestry tree, they told it, not me. You know, if I let my hair grow, that's what my hair is. So you might be a chief or something, huh? I don't think I'm no chief. I'm not sure what his ranking was, you know, when he had his time. You know, but I don't think I was even no chief. So I'm just, you know, I just, I'm just. So I guess you Puerto Rican, you got some Puerto Rican in you? No, I ain't got no Puerto Rican in me.

45:00I got a little Haitian in me, though. I got a little Haitian. So, you know, I'm like Cherokee, Haitian, and... Well, that's a hell of a combo. I don't know how that all got there. Hey, listen, you need to do your ancestry tree, so you can see where you from and what all you got.

45:21Shannon Sharpe:I'm from Ninjaville.

45:26Shannon Sharpe:That's where I'm from. Yeah, they told me. they say what they say i was mixed with n and mo in okay okay okay this man chat this man talking about he's from cherokee no no i'm five only five percent huh it's really not that much and you and you know you know how i know it's probably right because when i let my hair grow the texture of my hair is soft and they curl up that's why that's one of the reasons why i keep it I keep it cut ball because of the humidity in Miami. It shit messed me up. I tell you no lie. That's what I tried to tell him. There wasn't no Cherokee. The Cherokees was not in that in that area.

46:09Shannon Sharpe:Right. They was over here by the Everglades. Seminole. Yeah. Cherokee Seminole. They was in the Everglades. Cherokee and Seminole not the same thing. I know they're not the same thing. They used to fight all the time though. oh i think the cherokee what what area was the cherokee in like you said the shawnee or the seminole uh the chickasaw chalk talk something like that i could i probably could have gotten with the lumby no the chair the cherokees and the cherokees in the goddamn um in the seminole they used to fight all the time in everglades

46:55Shannon Sharpe:Yo, Ocho, you'll be

47:04Yeah, they wasn't No, they was out here, I'm telling you, man. I'm telling you about my great-great-great uncle cousin.

47:12Shannon Sharpe:If you're from Georgia like Kentucky, like a little bit of Alabama or something like that. But wasn't it the Seminole? Was it the Seminole down in Florida? Yeah, the Seminole down here. Because I think the Chonk Taw, the Chickasaw, was like Oklahoma started moving west. The Lumbee was like in North Carolina. You know, they was everywhere, huh? You know, they tried to erase our history now. But they be trying to play with our history now. Listen here, Chief Stankfoot. You don't got no history down there. Ain't no Florida. Hey, you know he used to call me, right? Chief State Foot. Nah, nah, I was Lil Blackfoot.

47:53That was my name, Lil Blackfoot. Yeah, when I was little, my feet was like real, real black. So he called me Lil Blackfoot.

48:04Shannon Sharpe:This man here. I promise you. That man said he was Puerto Rican. nah I say I'm no I'm Cherokee and Haitian huh yeah I don't know but I don't know I've never heard anybody with that combination I've heard some combinations but I ain't never heard Native American and Haitian y 'all never heard of that combination I mean they don't really know I mean like I said you know you get a little this a little that you get a little European and you get a little, you know, South African and this and you know, you get some, but damn. I said the same thing when I saw when the results came up, I said what? Cherokee and Haitian?

48:52Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And obviously a little African American so you know, I mean it is what it is. I'm proud of my heritage though. I'm proud. I mean I was like a little history major so I kind of, I was like hold on. It wasn't no I think the Muskogee but like I said Muskogee they was more in the east I know about the Muskogee I had two homies from the Muskogees who yeah but that's what I'm saying there ain't no jerky down there in Florida now they're down here I'm telling you they used to go at it they used to hunt buffalo and gator I don't know if buffalo roamed that far south. Back then they did. Nah, I think they kind of cut it off in like the mid, like Oklahoma and Texas.

49:47Shannon Sharpe:The Buffalo came towards Miami during the winter with the birds. When the birds move south, the Buffalo came too. Colorado, Wyoming. I'm telling you, man. See, that's why I say, that's why the people, the man, they tried to erase the history. People don't even know that the Buffalo was down here at the crib too. So when the birds flew south in the winter when it got cold the buffalo followed him okay i'll take your word for it yeah man you got you got to know your history oh joe seattle seahawks running back zyke charbonneau suffered a season-ending knee injury that will require surgery seahawks head coach mac mcdonald said uh on seattle sports mcdonald called it a significant knee injury unfortunately breaks your heart he's going to need surgery so he's got a good long road to come back damn

50:38that's messed up man it is obviously listen it's football man it's a very

50:49Shannon Sharpe:it's a brutal game injuries are part of it and he was playing really well boy he was but listen Kenneth Walker III very well capable he be toting that thing he be toting that thing they gonna be alright offensively, I'm not sure who the third back is going to be who now steps up into the number two slot. But they're going to be alright. The Chiefs are expecting to bring back a familiar face in Eric Bannemi as their offensive coordinator according to Tom Pellicero reported today. With the Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy contract expiring and him taking a head coach job interviews, Chiefs are ready to turn back to EB.

51:35Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, people were confused when Eric Bannemi left Kansas City for a lateral OC move in Washington because he wanted credit as a play caller. After bouncing around the league, could you see him come back to help fix the struggling Chiefs offense and finally rewrite a narrative that was, you know, he didn't really have a whole lot to do with the offense. I mean, I hate that he had the lead. Obviously, he wanted success. He wanted to get credit for the success similar to the Kyrie situation in Cleveland when LeBron was there. He wanted to have his own team and show that he can also lead in his own way and the same thing with the enemy going to Washington.

52:15Obviously you didn't have the same pieces. Obviously you didn't have the goddamn quarterback to be able to have the success you would have liked to even though you are a great play caller. Going back to the Chiefs after them having a down season, maybe Andy Reid relieves themselves of the calling of the plays and allows you to do what you've done best.

52:35You think Andy going to give a play call whoo maybe maybe not maybe because i mean i think i'm sure he's had some input on it before

52:46Shannon Sharpe:you know i think the thing is what eb is that eb is the guy that holds everybody accountable if you listen to guys talk oh yeah he's a guy that's gonna mofo and curse people out and make sure everybody knows their responsibility and do your effing job you remember uh you see the clip where he's got he's getting on a a a a p agent peterson uh-huh he's like did you do what you supposed to do. But he said, no, what did you do? What were you supposed to do? So he be going to hold people accountable now. That's one thing. He going to hold your ass accountable. It don't matter who you are. And maybe that's what they need.

53:23Shannon Sharpe:Maybe they had gotten away from that.

53:31Shannon Sharpe:All right, O.J. O.J., it's time for O.J. Oh, chain. Sitting Bull, Chief Steakfoot, Little Blackfoot. Yeah, Little Blackfoot. That's me. They call me Little Blackfoot. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

54:03Shannon Sharpe:Ninth Cloud, Life. this is exactly why Georgia didn't want Beck back. Bro, they lost the national championship game. He played well. He threw a pick. But what about the game that he played last week, two weeks ago, to get him in this position? Are we just going to forget about that? Or what about the game that he played when he went to A &M? Are we going to forget about that?

54:30Damn, boy.

54:31Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all hard. Ain't tough. McRobinson Ocho run up his money that$5 ,900 you owe it it's double now you right it is we going on three years I mean come on it ain't been no three years man it's going on three years it's been by six months if that it's going on three years Ocho going on three years man you know times is tough man in this economy man So if they're time for you, what you think about me missing 5 ,900? I mean, you're in a better situation. Almighty James, why does Indiana play so much zone coverage? Why not? You play to win the game. I ain't trying to impress you by playing, man. It worked.

55:23Yeah, I mean, why question what coverage they're playing? I mean, that's what they've done all year. Based on who they're playing, based on the other team personnel, what do we do? What do we run where we can have the most success and get home? Zone it is.

55:42Shannon Sharpe:I'm sure Buffalo did roam in Florida. I don't know if they roamed in Miami. Maybe Jacksonville. The North Florida. We'll never know. We'll never know. This was so long ago. This was so long ago. We'll never know. I don't know exactly where they were. now. I know they're in Colorado. I know they're in Oklahoma. I know they're in Wyoming. In that area of the Midwest. I know that for certain. You just got to think about how long ago this was, man. Stephanie, you finally back. Stephanie Warfield. Happy birthday, Vanessa Smith. Hope you enjoyed your special day. Yes, happy birthday, Vanessa. Cal Simpson, Unc Ocho, number 80 for Indiana.

56:26Shannon Sharpe:Charlie Becker can catch a greasy barbecue He'd be in the dark with both hands tied behind his back. That boy, Fitzgerald, he made some plays tonight. Yeah, he did. You remember he made that play, Ochoa, the Big Ten Championship game? Mm-hmm. On the third down. They put it up. He high-pointed it. Came down with it. Yeah, that was a great catch by him over there on that side, boy. He had a couple of back – he had a back shoulder. Yeah. That back shoulder on the third down. Killing him. Dee Woods for Ocho. What do you think about if Mac Jones was to join the Steelers as their future QB? They would have to trade for him.

57:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you would have to trade for him.

57:09Shannon Sharpe:You got to protect him. He's not the most mobile guy. He's had some athleticism. He can get out of harm's way. I like Mac. I think the West Coast system is best suited for him. But hey But listening at the Rooney's talk They're open to having Aaron Rodgers come back So we'll see Aaron Jones Fernando Mendoza was born in Boston And grew up in Miami He lived his entire life in the US The reason he spoke Spanish is to congratulate his grandparents Why people got a problem with that? everybody ain't got to speak just because just because you're in America first of all you do realize people speak other languages in America yeah like it's the only language you can speak if you're in America yeah I speak Spanish so if Ocho I've never seen somebody speaking Spanish or Japanese or Chinese or Vietnamese or whatever the case may be whatever they're speaking Russian, Belarusian, whatever I ain't never say speak English I don't care they're not talking to me and if they are talking to me I don't know what they're saying so I don't pay them no attention anyway I mean I see people I see two Asians speaking to each other all the time I mean people that clean my house they speak they're not talking to me because guess what when they want to ask me something they say excuse me Mr.

58:42Shannon Sharpe:Shatter Mr. Sharp but when they're talking in their language to each other. I don't care. I don't. We got to just, oh, speak this. You in the U.S. Oh, and? Oh, you want to speak English? F you, mofo. You understand that? Loud and clear. Yeah, the man, I mean, his grandparents, I guess, don't speak English or don't understand English, whatever the case may be. Yeah. He spoke to them. So hats off to you, Fernando. Congratulations, and I know your grandparents are extremely, extremely proud of their grandson and what you were able to accomplish. Congratulations to the Mendoza family. True and infamous, from worst team in college football to going 16-0 and winning the Big Ten, Rose Bowl, Peach Bowl, and now National Champs.

59:35Shannon Sharpe:Congratulations, Indiana. Absolutely.

59:42Shannon Sharpe:This is an amazing story. They're going to do a documentary. They're going to do a story on this. You got to. This is better than Rudy. This is better than Rudy, Ocho. Yeah. Rudy got a couple of plays, and they carried him off the field. This here is better than Rudy. Absolutely. Mark McDonald, what's up, Uncle Ocho? Lost my great granite this morning. Been watching previous videos. Dakota, any advice moving forward? Love the show. But Mark, we're so sorry about the loss of a loved one. My condolences. Deepest thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and all loved ones that are impacted by this.

1:00:17Shannon Sharpe:Only time. You're never going to really get over it. You just get better at coping with it. It's because she's always going to be there. And for you to tell us about it, and obviously it means that you lost someone very, very close and personal to you. And when you lose that person, I think the best thing to do is remember all the great times. Yeah. And not this most tragic instance in which, you know, she transitioned over. And that's how you have to do it. Just take one day at a time. That's what she would, I would like, always thought what would my granny want me to do? And, you know, she, she, you know, a famous quote today, boy, we all got to do it.

1:01:00Shannon Sharpe:We all got to do it. We all. We got that appointment, Ocho. You know, a lot of times we reschedule it. We change our flights. We got a doctor's appointment. It's on a Tuesday. We ask, can we change it to a Wednesday or we change it the next week? Yeah. It's the one appointment. You got to schedule. Everybody has that appointment. Can't change this one. That you cannot reschedule. The thing is, you just don't know when your appointment is. Damn. And you know what? I got a question too, huh? Yes. And this is for the chat too. Y 'all could answer in the chat. about that appointment you can't reschedule when it's time to leave this earth and it's time to transition would you like to know when it's time to go or would you rather just when it's time whatever's supposed to happen it just happens or would you like to know when it's actually your time i only thought about that see then now you're gonna try to circumvent now all of a sudden see you're supposed to live your life right if you know it's gonna come guess what you're gonna be a jerk and be a heathen and do all these things and then try to get right well my time tomorrow lord you know hey i want you to forgive me for all my done and all i said nah that's why you're supposed to live your life your life in a just and righteous way yeah because you don't know you're gonna have to ask for all this the old saying don't show you're gonna have to answer for this on this side or the other but you're going to have to give an account.

1:02:31Shannon Sharpe:Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, listen, I tried my best to do right but man, look here, man. It ain't easy. Nah. Barrett Gang, the Hoosiers and Shea Valaportier both won tonight. Ocho got an order. Nah, he just got an order. He just got an order a case but he still owe me $5 ,900. I got the case. Hold on. I didn't get my case, but I got the case.

He's going to buy us some cologne? Okay. I put on old spice. Are you wearing old spice? Yeah. And you tap that thing on there like this? Yeah. Hey. I hadn't wore cologne since probably 86, 87. What you wear? Oils? I don't wear nothing. No? It's just me. Okay. Okay. I like that.

1:05:47Shannon Sharpe:But listen. Ask him I smell like toothpaste because all I do is brush my teeth. Teeth? I would like chat if y 'all know the top five colognes whether you male or female females it's things that you like to smell send me a top five if I were to start wearing colognes now Ocho somebody gonna be looking at me hold on wait a minute you ain't want no cologne in 40 years yeah now you got it on I can show you just like it Ocho your girl don't work out I don't do no working out. Let's just say you dating somebody and they don't work out. All of a sudden, they start working out. Yeah, they working out for somebody else, bro.

1:06:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I'll just say it. But no, I have a warm cologne.

1:06:43Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to think. Where did I go? Somebody gave me one of those big old – I gave me the bucket, a bottle of Tom Ford. That cologne was like$700. $700? Mm-hmm. That man, you know Tom Ford expensive. The hell? I mean, some cologne would be$1 ,000. They could be$2 ,000. I ain't buying it.

1:07:16Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm good. Versace used to make a car, but all those fashion designers, all them fashion designers, Versace and Valentino, all used to make colognes. But you know, when I was growing up, I think like in high school, your car, I did buy Calvin Klein Obsession. Everybody would, man, that Calvin Klein Obsession, boy. That was it, huh? Boy, if you could catch no fish with that bait, you ain't no fisherman. Yeah. Yeah, man. That calvary, because it had those pheromones in it. Right.

1:07:54Woo!

1:07:55Shannon Sharpe:That was back in the day, Ocho, back in the day. Long time ago. Yeah, now I just, I'm a body wash type of guy. Okay. I used to use some level 3000, ivory, zest. I'm trying to think of the name of that damn cologne. I think I got a screenshot of it. You wear it? Yeah, every time I leave, I spray, but I don't even look at the damn bottle. Oh.

1:08:30Shannon Sharpe:Noah Garcia, love the show, guys. Keep it up. Ocho, pay that man. This ain't your year again. We good, we good.

1:08:47Shannon Sharpe:Juicy 1976 Uncle Ocho When Marshawn Nealon Passed away You said you had a story And we'll share it Later day and time And I will

1:08:59Shannon Sharpe:Bulldo TV 85 Forget about that Quick bet That bet quick He ain't forgot Ocho know he owe me money man I'm just saying He now talking about He talking about the other bet for the game tonight because you said when you use the word case I would think it's something else but I'm good now me about to catch one okay love how you hold player you love how you hold player accountables I don't understand why some people can't hold guys like Alan accountable when he plays bad want to give him all these excuses then give him all the credit when he wins and that's how it is that that's how look if you get the lion's share of the credit the quarterback gets the lion's share of the credit 90 % of the credit goes to the quarterback.

1:09:44Shannon Sharpe:So when they win, he gets 90 % of the credit. But when they lose, we just want to make it. No, no, no. We got to hold him accountable, especially when he turns the ball over. It doesn't matter who or what the circumstances. You can't say, well, he ain't had no help. Well, how did he get to this point? How did he get this far? Yeah, with help. Exactly. He can do it by himself.

1:10:11Shannon Sharpe:uh electro auto confirmed to me you use uh uh to go with to david's cafe all the time on london road lincoln road um with uh with that wild truck yeah i never forget david's cafe on 17th and meridian to be exact you know it was where i spent every day damn near every day if it wasn't the one on 17th and Meridian. It was the one on 11th and Collins? Or, yeah, right between Collins and Ocean. And, man, I wonder how Adrian's doing. Adrian was the owner back then. And, obviously, I think due to COVID and when everything shut down, I think things didn't work out, but I thought I missed, well, I missed David's Cafe.

No, I'm just saying, if you're in Miami, you might as well eat something else. See, there you go. I knew it. No, I'm saying something else, like seafood. I mean, you know, seafood. I'm allergic to shellfish. Okay, my bad. My bad. Yeah, that's your bad. You try to be slick. You think you're slick. Nah, you're in Miami. There's so many different... Look, Ocho, we only got room for one eater. I nominated you. That's me. That's me. Brian M., if Monken gets the Brown head coaching job, who would you both hire as Giants OC?

1:13:57Shannon Sharpe:I mean, Harbaugh has had a lot of great relationships over the years. I don't...

1:14:04Shannon Sharpe:I have no idea.

1:14:19Shannon Sharpe:Bruce Bush Jr. What's up, Uncle Ocho? Much love from Shia. Today is my 28th birthday. Besides your former teams, where would y 'all want to play in both college and the NFL? Where would we want to play? Shoot, if I could have it written like a Cinderella story, like the perfect ending, I would play for FAMU and play for the Dolphins?

1:14:49Shannon Sharpe:My favorite college team growing up was Nebraska. Tommy Fraser? No, that was, no. Way before Turner Gill, Mike Rogier, Dean Stein, those guys.

1:15:04Shannon Sharpe:NFL? Steelers. I loved Steelers growing up.

1:15:13Shannon Sharpe:the Sean underscore short uncle no Joe who's your early national champ for next year uh let them boy get amen 24 hours yet damn sure hey you know what's funny hey when I think about it like Indiana we keep saying Indiana beat Miami yes but really Indiana is just a bunch of kids from Miami so Miami really just beat Miami even though they play for Indiana. But those kids are, look, those kids are like 22, 23 years old. Those of them that's old, they're not the 18, 19-year-olds. And that's where this thing is headed. That's where they're headed.

1:16:03Shannon Sharpe:DJ, my night, Ocho, I know a Levin who's angry and can fit in Buffalo or Baltimore. Trubisky, Bills, or Stout Ravens will give up their jersey. LOL. There we go. What he was trying to say. He knew an 11 in Philly that would fit perfect in Buffalo. He got confused and put it backwards. I know a 11 in Philly that'll look great in Buffalo. And then he was like, I'm like, okay. I said Chicago by accident, remember? No, I know. But what you should have said is that the 11 is in Philly that's available. Oh, know what I was trying to say, but I did a purpose to make you think a little bit. The jersey number 11 is available in Buffalo.

1:16:53Yes. It's supposed to get your senses like, well, who the hell wears number 11 that play receiver? Oh, he talked about AJ. But that was all. oh i mean since we say they need a receiver i was thinking about okay i know i know i know a number

1:17:14Shannon Sharpe:11 in philly that's available or i know a number 11 that's available not a number 11 in buffalo that's available because he's not available in buffalo listening the jersey number 11 is yes Yes. Yes. It's supposed to make you think a little bit. That's all. Yes. The chat was thinking, like, who is in Chicago? Who's in Buffalo? That's 11. Yeah, see that? My bad. My bad. Or we could have got Michael Pittman. Isn't Michael Pittman Jr. number 11? Nah, he wears single digit. What's Michael Pittman Jr.'s number? You're thinking eight or nine, if I'm not mistaken.

1:18:00Shannon Sharpe:11. He is 11? Yes. My bad.

1:18:10Shannon Sharpe:Got it with a K. Ocho, are you suiting up to help us win the World Cup? USA? Man, please, but we need, well, you're going to need more than me, boy. Well, you're going to need more than me. You see Bear. Who do you think is the best option to coach the Raiders? Shoot. Jesus.

1:18:43Shannon Sharpe:KVN Corey, man, Lamar better stay with us. F all that other ish. Man, Lamar ain't going nowhere, man. Look, I think Steve made it barely clear. I want Lamar if Lamar wants to be here. he said it. He said, we want to do something. By March, I mean, he laid it out. He said, hey, me and Erica fly down there, X, Y, and Z, whatever we need. That's what you want. If not, we'll play this cap number and then go from there. Mm-hmm.

1:19:18Shannon Sharpe:Ever Chavez Ocho looking like Jerome from Martin.

1:19:24Jerome, okay.

1:19:24Shannon Sharpe:Francisco Garcia, does Luke Keekly finally get a fair shot to the hall? He has the resume. Longevity is missing, but the rest, he's a top two linebacker during his tenure. I absolutely agree. You're talking about a guy that was rookie of the year, a guy that was defensive player of the year within his first two years.

1:19:43Shannon Sharpe:What, five-time first team, five or six-time first team all pros, seven times, eight times all pro bowler? I definitely think Luke Keekly is more than worthy of getting there. Marlon Mox, Ochoa, is set to play Little Bill in the new feature film Little Bill Goes to Miami, Eric, on Peacock, February the 25th. I didn't know that was my nickname growing up too, man. What, Little Bill? He used to call me Little Bill. He used to call me Little Bill or they called me Kill Bill. That would they call you, huh? Yeah, Little Kill Bill, yeah. Okay. Yeah, but I got away from that. Yeah, you got out of that life.

1:20:23Yeah, yeah, I got right. I got right.

1:20:25Shannon Sharpe:I'm King Rel Ocho. Now, I told you, whenever you're ready, I'm looking up football field, and you're going to have to pay all that money. Patriots to the Super Bowl. Lakers in five.

1:20:43Shannon Sharpe:Miss Patrice. Shannon is funny. Max ain't getting traded. Raiders have the second highest cap space and we have 10 picks in the draft. We're going to be fine. Miss Patrice, you're not. You're not going to be fine.

1:21:03Shannon Sharpe:And you need to hit all of those picks to even have a chance. Brian M. Stidham can be the next hostess. He got the defense just like the 1990 Giants. I'm taking the underdog but you guys do realize Hosteller just didn't start the playoffs he had started Phil Simms had got hurt he was starting Phil came back Coach Parcells stuck with him y 'all said Tom Brady did it Tom Brady had started like 12 games and in the playoffs y 'all said Nick Foles Nick Foles had been a starter he had started I think the last three games and the two games in the postseason and then he the Super Bowl this is not the same scenario no none of those guys just started the NFC or the AFC championship game

1:21:59Shannon Sharpe:Sean Payton believes in him Sean said this guy could be a starter for another team

1:22:06so we're gonna find out we're gonna find out Brandon Crowe hey Uncle Nocho what team do you

1:22:13Shannon Sharpe:see jeremiah smith making the biggest impact when he gets drafted in 27. anyway you got to realize who's who's up there who's up there that needs a receiver they're going to take him he still got another year huh yeah yeah they're saying in 27. yeah i mean ain't no take the opinion we don't we don't know who's going to be you know what the the bottom three hell he might be he might be one yeah i would just get ready to say that he might be one

1:22:43Shannon Sharpe:Remedy, please remind Ocho that Pickens not going anywhere. Jerry loves him and can afford him. He'll get franchise tag at minimum. Just enjoy it, Ocho. He can't afford him. He can afford him at a goddamn lower price. Y 'all fans so selfish, man. Let the man go get his bread and get his... Come on, man. What's wrong with y 'all, man? Golly Be more cow Do you believe Brian Flores will ever get another Head coaching job in the NFL I do Michael Alonzo Do you think Bills will be making a change Swing for their next head coach Maybe someone under contract With a year left on the deal Coaches don't really normally It doesn't normally work like that with coaches I mean we did see Coach Belichick go for a trade We saw

1:23:40I think

1:23:41Shannon Sharpe:who else got traded? John Gruden I think Hermel was too I think Hermel was didn't Hermel get traded?

1:23:53Herm Yeah
