In short

Steelers QB future and AFC North outlook; Lamar Jackson’s injuries and how they affected his rushing; Caleb Williams’ view on celebrating teammates; Tracy McGrady’s take on MVP value being more than a championship.

Guests and backgrounds

  • Drew Allar: Steelers rookie QB discussed after the preseason vs the Bills; described as a dual-threat with improved pocket presence and leg command.
  • Lamar Jackson: Ravens QB; discussed regarding injury-limited scrambling in 2024 and his evolution into a passer.
  • Caleb Williams: Bears rookie QB; discusses why scoring celebrations matter and how teammates should celebrate together.
  • Tracy McGrady: referenced for commentary on MVP weighing more than just winning a championship.

Key claims

  • Allar “looks like” the Steelers’ future QB, with “command of the offense,” legs as a second/third option, and sharp execution despite limited preseason production.
  • Steelers’ success in the AFC North hinges on “what Aaron Rodgers we’re going to get” week to week (quarterback play as the deciding factor).
  • Jackson says he avoided running hurt to protect the team; he’s become a better pocket passer and uses reads before taking off.
  • Celebrations are hard-earned, build teammate love/care, and keep energy high; excessive celebrations have rules (no props like goalposts/pylons).

Notable examples

Bills beat Steelers 28-27; Allar went 9-18 for 88 yards, no TD, while Will Howard had two early TDs. Jackson’s 2024 injury context is tied to his reduced scrambling and the need to win without unnecessary punishment.

3:02Shannon Sharpe:Bills defeat the Steelers 28-27. Steelers' Will Howard was hot early, throwing two touchdowns in the first quarter and only four completions. He finished today 9-15, 69 yards, two touchdowns in the interception. Rookie Drew Aller, 9-18, 88 yards, no touchdown. What you thinking? Oh Joe Joe hey Julie a backup to Rogers is an hour a Howard drew drew Allah okay hey he didn't look good all preseason he's been real sharp Uncle Joe yeah real sharp he's been in it to me he's had more of a command of the offense being able to use his legs I'm not saying you Lamar Jackson but he's been a dual threat when when nothing was there he can make something out of nothing you know with his legs his pocket presence been good throwing the ball has been good i like him he's probably the future honestly just to be honest yeah drew ibid he looks like he's gonna be the quarterback for the 4cw future when aaron rogers decides to hang it up if he really does make this his last

4:05Chad Johnson:year yeah yeah i thought i thought he looked good too oh joe yeah i mean it's funny seeing

4:11Shannon Sharpe:these guys out there. You see Frank Gore Jr., Frank Gore's son, Mike Tomczak. That's Mike Tomczak.

4:21Shannon Sharpe:His uncle used to quarterback. TZAC quarterback for the Bears and I think he's my brother's quarterback in Green Bay too for a minute. But I thought the Steelers were playing really, really well. I mean, but I thought both teams played well. In the preseason, you score 28 points, especially with all those moving parts. You know, you try to get so many people playing time, Joe. And so it's a lot of moving parts. So if you can get 28 points on the board, you got to feel pretty good about that. That's a good thing. And with the moving parts, you're trying to get them all to work in unison. That's the hard part, especially when it comes to the threes and the fours and those trying to make the team, Joe.

5:04You want them to be consistent. Can we execute what we practice all week long and do it right consistently well you score 28 points in the in the game preseason game with your threes and fours oh but hey that ain't nothing but coaching boy yeah that ain't number coaching

5:23Shannon Sharpe:asked if he believed all four quarterbacks had earned a roster spot mccarthy described it as a very accurate evaluation i feel good about our quarterback room i've been saying it for quite some time and i've they've shown it on the field we've got two veterans that can win that we can win with and we got two young guys that we're excited about the future. Though McCarthy has never kept four quarterbacks in a 53-man roster throughout his 18-year coaching career, he strongly hinted throughout the preseason that this year will break his precedent. He used to be a tight end coach in Kansas City, Ocho.

5:57Shannon Sharpe:When I went to the Pro Bowl my second year, he was my position coach. I would have never guessed Mike McCarthy would have been a head coach. But if you go back and look at it, think about the jobs he's had.

6:08Chad Johnson:Green Bay,

6:09Shannon Sharpe:Dallas, Pittsburgh. Tell me another coach that's had three more impressive NFL head coaching jobs at that right there, Joe. Green Bay, Dallas, Pittsburgh. Phenomenal organizations. Phenomenal organizations.

6:30Shannon Sharpe:The team that he's coached, they got 15 Super Bowls between the three of them. damn packers got four cowboys got five steelers got six and he was he's been the head coach of all of them he won one with rogers didn't he no one with rogers yeah yeah 2011

6:51Chad Johnson:hey hey with this last preseason game how much can it affect the coach or the ocho when they're making their cuts like can you perform in the last preseason game the where a coach can be like, you know what, we got to keep him.

7:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I did it.

7:08Chad Johnson:Oh, you did it. That's what you did. I did it, yes.

7:11Shannon Sharpe:Last preseason game, it kept me because of what I did in the last preseason game.

7:16Chad Johnson:Oh, yeah.

7:19Shannon Sharpe:The thing is, is that you hope you get a... You see, it's different now because... But back then, Joe, we kicked the ball off. They kicked the ball off.

7:26Chad Johnson:Yeah.

7:27Shannon Sharpe:It wasn't that the kickoff like we got now. And you know, guys trying to make it. You guys want to try to run the ball back. Okay, I'm trying to make it. I'm trying to get down there and get a tackle. Damn. Boy, I was laying folk out.

7:44Shannon Sharpe:I was cutting everything, too, because it was raining. So, we weren't throwing no passes. Man, I was down the field. I was 15, 20 yards down the field slicing them. Woo-hoo.

7:57Shannon Sharpe:Came in the next morning. I'd never forget that. Barty Shaver would say, hey, homeboy. and your name on the board to get cut.

8:07Chad Johnson:He told you that when? Before the game?

8:09Shannon Sharpe:Before the game. Ah, right. He say, but you know, just go out there and play. And you know, this tape gets sent to everybody. You don't know what, you never know what might happen. Right. Man, it started to rain.

8:29Hmm.

8:31Shannon Sharpe:I remember going to the game, you know, little shorty picked me up from the hotel, and picked me to the game, I'm just thinking. She said, it's gonna be all right, you're gonna be fine.

8:47Shannon Sharpe:I'm thinking about somebody gonna be getting my skin when I get cooked, that's what I'm thinking about, Joe. In the back of my bag, oh Joe, you know what I mean? I'm thinking about my head, I ain't taking my game, man. I'm like, hey. Yeah. I'm gonna get my head down, I got my head down, Joe.

9:02Shannon Sharpe:I said, you know, maybe the last time, I don't know. I said, well, I said, Lord, you brought me this far. I know you didn't bring me this far just to bring me this far, Lord. Hello, hello. You see if you can go further. Not to leave. Not to leave.

9:24Chad Johnson:Cut up.

9:26Shannon Sharpe:Went over there. that Saturday. The thing is, we stayed at the hotel at the time, Joe and Ocho. The phone ring. You know what that means? They cutting somebody. I ain't answering it. Like that's going to change something.

9:47Chad Johnson:They call your room and you ain't answering?

9:49Shannon Sharpe:No, hell no. That's my roommate. That ain't for me. you didn't want to hear that huh

10:12Chad Johnson:that's how i got traded man i didn't even know it i was a rookie i didn't even know it i didn't so naive to it because look, they called me, they called me, we was on the road in Dallas, matter of fact, coach called me to his room as early as on the way. And when you walk out your room, everybody had a practice, we all on the same floor. Everybody had a practice gear in front of their door. So when I walked out my room, I see everybody practicing gear, but I don't see mine. I'm saying, damn, maybe I'm gonna get it when I get up here, you know.

10:46Chad Johnson:That's why I was thinking maybe coach got mine because he wanna holler at me, then he gonna give it to me. man I'm on my way up the elevator yeah I remember you remember Randy Brown don't you uh yeah he played for the Bulls Randy Brown on the team with me so Randy he coming out of coach room I'm going in coach I'm like damn what's up he like man they just traded me I'm like damn they traded you he was like yeah yeah yeah I'm like I said I said man coach hit me he wanted to holler at me what you think he wanted like he probably already knew I was in the trade but he He didn't tell me, he said, I don't know.

11:17Chad Johnson:He said, I don't know. Go in there and see what he, go in there and see what he talking about. So I went in there, I'm talking about a man, the man told me he was trying, I'm like, damn. That hurt boy's a rookie because at 20 years old, Uncle Ocho, you know, I'm thinking I'm doing a high job. I done made the rookie game and the NBA all-star, like I'm balling, it ain't like I'm out here on some scrub, you know what I mean? Right, yeah, for sure. Man, that man told me he traded me, bro, and I started to replay everything. I said, damn, I just seen Randy here. He knew I was in the damn trade and he gonna act like he didn't know what the hell was going on.

11:52Chad Johnson:You wanna go down and fire on him. Come on, man, come on, man. But that was my guy though, that was my guy, that was my guy. But yeah, it happened like that, bro.

Read the full transcript

12:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, man, I was like, damn. Cause I didn't know, hey man, Ojo, I didn't know they could, I mean, I thought if you draft, if they draft you, they gotta keep you.

12:09Chad Johnson:Yeah.

12:11Shannon Sharpe:Man, I'll never forget the first day, like two days into practice. Man, one of them coaches say, son, we drafted, but we ain't got to keep you. They don't play. Oh, this is real. Damn. They did not play. Yeah. And man, Coach Reeves stayed on me, man. Damn. Faster, you can run faster than that. I saw you. I know you can move faster than that. I ain't running faster because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'm trying to think about what I'm doing as I'm moving. Coach, if I knew what I was doing, I'd be all in ass.

12:52Shannon Sharpe:It was saying, if you make a mistake, just make it full speed. I don't care if you run the wrong route. I don't care if you bust the assignment. Just do it full speed. Man, please.

13:04Chad Johnson:It was a wrap.

13:07Shannon Sharpe:That's all you had to tell me? Just go full speed? That's it. We can't coach y 'all to go full speed. We can coach y 'all to run the right route. We can coach y 'all to get in there and dig the safety out on the insert. Okay. Say no more. I got it. Damn. What you think? What you think Pittsburgh Reds is going to be this year, Ochoa? You think they make the playoffs? You know what?

13:34Chad Johnson:In that division? Hey, what Aaron Rodgers we going to get, huh? I think that's what it comes down to. It comes down to the quarterback play.

13:43Shannon Sharpe:Yep. It comes down to the quarterback play. What Aaron Rodgers are we going to get? You got a nice running back. You got two nice receivers. You have a more than adequate defense. You know, if they play stealer football. It comes down to the quarterback play. What Aaron Rodgers are we going to get week to week? That's all it comes down to, honestly, to tell you the truth. This is the quarterback-driven league. so team success is based on quarterback play that's for every NFL team can you make those plays that matter the most in the times when you need it

14:22Shannon Sharpe:what you thinking Joe

14:24Chad Johnson:in that division man

14:29Chad Johnson:yeah man A-Rod I'm going to give A-Rod the benefit of the doubt I say he get it done I say they'll make the postseason.

I didn't mention that. I didn't mention that. I didn't mention the Ravens. I'm just saying, if Joe said the Steelers are going to the playoff, there's only one other team that's gonna be able to go outside, out the AFC North, and it can't be the Bengals, I can tell you that. Oh, you guaranteeing the Bengals going to the postseason?

15:09Guarantee? Boy, I'd put my last name on that, boy. And I stamped that approval on dead homies. Yeah.

15:20Shannon Sharpe:It's going to be tough. Hey, like Butter Say on Grandma Cookies. I think Jacksonville is going to be good. I think the Texans are going to be really good. if Daniel Jones stay healthy. We saw what they were last year. They were cruising. They were the number one seed in the AFC before he got hurt. You mean the Texans? I think the Boston was going to be there. You got the Chargers in the – Huh?

15:45Chad Johnson:You mean the Texans defense, right?

15:48Shannon Sharpe:I think the offense will be okay. Because guess what? That defense is going to sit them up with short fields. Mm-hmm.

15:55Chad Johnson:Everything revolves around. You're going to take the ball away, Joe. Yeah, I know, but CJ got it. He got it. He's going to have to perform this year, Uncle Ocho.

His arms is dangerous because people still fear his legs. If they don't fear his legs as much, can he still be as dangerous as we remember him leading all the way up to those MVP seasons? Because you and I felt we just knew he had that MVP locked up. Yes. the one Josh Allen snuck him for. Yeah. I mean, absolutely. I think over the years, what he's become is he's turned himself into a passer, a much better passer than what he's been known for.

21:25Obviously, we know you can run, but once you add that dynamic and that physical tool of being able to throw the ball as well, being a dual threat, I mean, he's gotten better at it. And last year showed before the injury, and even when he came back, that he'd become a much better pocket passer. And now he's gotten to the point in his career where he's progressed to the point where I go through my reads, and before I take off, I go through them again. He's making running the football a second or third option before he takes off with it, as opposed to I go through one read and that one read not there, okay, I'm gone.

22:03So I like it. I like it. The fact that we got a healthy Lamar. I'm talking about we got a healthy. Y 'all have a healthy Lamar this year. and hey you know what you get with a healthy Lamar you you know what you get he don't take any unnecessary punishment either and they got rid of their left guard what was that the left guard they got rid of right guard the right guard they don't do it like that Joe

22:30Shannon Sharpe:don't do it like that Trevor Lawrence say why y 'all sit him down here y 'all like I got like Like I don't need protection. Trevor said, whoa, whoa, whoa. Who made this trade? Yeah. I think the thing, look, the thing is, as you get older, you run less.

22:51Shannon Sharpe:And I think he's done a great – I think Lamar has done a great job of improving his ability to throw the football. I always felt – I said, man, if that man – if his arm is ever half as good as his legs, he's an MVP. and I've been down. Two of them. Should be three. Should. Should. He is special. He has that ability. I don't normally like, well, okay. But I just want him to get one. I think one, he gets one, the floodgates open up and the pressure just lifts off of him. Because you have very few guys that have won two MVPs in this league. He's one of the few quarterbacks. He's one of the few players that's won two MVPs.

23:35Shannon Sharpe:He's got to get his team to the Super Bowl. And once he gets there, I ain't betting against him.

23:41Chad Johnson:You think he get it done?

23:44Shannon Sharpe:If he gets to the Super Bowl, he's going to go crazy. If he don't get it done, he's going to have one of those games where he throws for 300, runs for another 100. The only thing that concerns me is turnovers. But no, as far as yardage, passing yards, rush yards, he's going to go crazy. He'll go crazy in a game like that.

24:05Chad Johnson:Well, ain't no time like the present time, fellas. You know, I think it's about time for Lamar to really step up and take that challenge, take that team to the next level, bro. They got a hell of a squad.

24:19Shannon Sharpe:But ain't they right there, Joe. I just worry about when guys get older, because we've seen it. Guys get, as you get older, Ocho, I mean, Joe, Ocho, you know this, man, them licks hurt. You ain't really trying to take them licks like you once did when you was young. Yeah. Man B. Man B.

24:36Chad Johnson:You right about that.

24:37Shannon Sharpe:I'll throw that blink on and get out of bounds in a minute. Quick.

24:41Chad Johnson:And playing up in Baltimore in that cold.

24:44Shannon Sharpe:Pittsburgh is cold. Cleveland is cold. Cincinnati is cold. Cincinnati is cold. That whole division. Once it gets in November. Yeah, once you get to November, middle of November, early December. It's a wrap. I don't know what time it is. Get ready to lay up. We used to love go to the power. We see Miami on the schedule like, oh yeah, Miami. January, December. Go see Arizona in December, January. Like, yes. Go to see, go to San Diego, the Chargers. You see the Chargers in December or January.

25:22Chad Johnson:Yeah.

25:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, bro.

25:28Shannon Sharpe:Please don't give me these games early in the year. We don't need them. We nice and warm. We nice and toasty in September. Give it to us on the back end, please. But I think, look, with Zay Flowers getting his money, they say Rashad Bateman is having an unbelievable camp. He looked good. Derrick Henry is going to be Derrick Henry. I expect him to have another 12, 1400-yard rush season this year. Defensively, I think they're going to be better. I think they're going to be better defensively. They can't be any worse, can they, Ocho and Joe? I don't know, because at the beginning of that season, they were near the bottom on defense in almost every statistical category.

26:08Yeah, they were. Especially through the air. Boy, that secondary was horrendous, boy. Now, they got a little better as the season went on.

26:17Chad Johnson:Yeah. But, boy, it was bad. Yeah.

26:22Shannon Sharpe:So, we'll see what Baltimore is going to do. Look, he's going to break the record. He's going to have 38 carries this year. He'll probably have four or five rushes per game. I don't know. I don't necessarily think he needs to get the rush for another thousand yards in the season. He's done that, been there, done that. Yeah. But just keep him honest. Sometimes I think he falls into the trap. I want to prove y 'all can throw the football. I can throw it for y 'all instead of just doing what he does. Don't prove it to him. You're already a quarterback. You don't want two MVPs. Right. Now just prove that you can win the big game.

26:59Shannon Sharpe:The meaningful game, that's what they want to see. Well, we thought he had one against Buffalo. And remember when the cover dropping? Yeah. Two, and his fumble and Andrews dropping that ball. At least, at least. At least. Remember they had Buffalo beat the start of the season? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:19Chad Johnson:Yeah. And they gave him two touchdowns

27:21Shannon Sharpe:and two two-point conversions to lose the game. Yeah, yeah.

27:27Shannon Sharpe:I was like, God, oh, you got to be kidding me. And that was heartbreaking. Yeah. And remember the, that was Derrick Henry, foam of the ball. Yep. He took them damn sleeves off. I told you he was going to do that. Yep.

27:44Chad Johnson:Hey, they figured they can't tackle his big tail. Listen, we just going to strip him. Yeah. Boy, that's a big joker. Boy, Nicole.

27:55Shannon Sharpe:I ain't trying to tackle that. That's a big joker. Go to the side, wait till he passed me and jump on his back and try to wear him down. But I ain't trying to do it. I ain't. No. Like calf roping, letting me go by you. Trip him up, Ocho. That's a big boy. But no, I think Lamar will run enough to make the defense stay honest. They just need – It's last year. I mean, the third down, the third and short situations killed them. They went for it too much on fourth down. I mean, I think sometimes John Harbaugh had too much confidence in, like, let's go for it. Man, you just can't arbitrarily just go for it just because you got Lamar.

28:40Shannon Sharpe:You put your – with that defense? But then a part of it had to do with – because he knows the defense is not going to hold. We got to try to get points out of this. We need touchdowns because our defense is so anemic that they're going to end up giving up what we gave anyway. So we might as well just throw caution to the wind. But I think Lamar has enough. I definitely think he has a bounce back season. But all I know is the price of milk is going up.

29:13Chad Johnson:Yes, sir.

29:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey, do you see a scenario? He's up. his cap hit is almost 74, maybe 84 million next year. Yeah. Do you see a scenario with him going into the season, going into his last, this is last year, this contract, right? No? He got another year. He got another year, but obviously a quarterback like this. It'd probably be like almost$80 million in the cap. Right. They haven't given an extension. Do you see a scenario where Lamar plays somewhere else next year?

29:47Shannon Sharpe:I don't.

29:51Shannon Sharpe:Guys, quarterbacks like that just don't become available often. Yeah, you're right. Listen, I'm with you when you're right. I'm with you when you're right. He's 30. I mean, he's 30. He's 35, 36. He's 30. He's 30 years old.

30:04Chad Johnson:Yeah. They going to back their brink stroke up for him? I thought they would have done it.

30:12Shannon Sharpe:I don't think they have much of a choice. Yeah, I thought they would have done it by now, though, huh? Most of the time. I would, too. Because I don't want my quarterback having to worry about contract negotiations, which I'm sure he's focused on the game of football, but you want that already gone and done so you can just play ball. Yes. That's it. So you can just focus on football.

30:30Chad Johnson:Because you can't help but to think about it now. If you're in your contract gear, you can't help but to think about that. That's just human nature. So if they hadn't got that taken care of, yeah. He probably, he going to reset the market?

30:45Shannon Sharpe:Yes. Yeah. Yes. he don't want my home's number my home is like 64 million dollars a year

30:57Shannon Sharpe:now it just so happens i mean if he has accomplished his my home now you're talking about the guy that's won three super bowl three super bowl mvps he is the pre-eminent quarterback in football but he's like hey my home signed that he already signed that contract and they keep trying to drive the market here yeah so guess what you know who gonna want to go to the table next year too joe burrow you know who gonna want to go to the table next year too dave prescott yep you know who gonna want to go to the table next year if they have another good year sam darnold caleb wills caleb williams oh caleb williams caleb williams he's gonna reset the market boy yes CJ Stroud.

31:43He going to reset it too if he has a good year. Jayden Daniels is going to listen, all of those quarterbacks are going to be able to reset it.

31:52Chad Johnson:All of them ain't going to have no hell of a year now, Ocho. Come on now.

31:55Shannon Sharpe:All of them going to be up, Joe. You got to pay them. Can you replace Jayden Daniels? Can you replace Caleb Williams?

32:01Chad Johnson:But what I'm saying is all of them ain't going to reset the damn market. I mean, they going to get great money.

32:07Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but here's the thing. Who signs first? And whoever signs first, they overlap that person. So you just keep, hey, you just keep piling on top of that. Yep. That's how it goes. You see, hey, Bichon sent the market, and then what did Gibbs come right back? Jameer Gibbs came right behind him. Thank you. $250 ,000 more. I don't care if it's a penny. Makes your mind as more. That's how they do it. Some guys, hey, a dollar. It used to be a dollar, Ocho. Guy made$1 ,001 ,000. Damn. But he was the highest paid, Joe.

32:40Chad Johnson:I don't know. It's going to be interesting.

32:42Shannon Sharpe:Drake May. He the third year, Ocho. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. He have a good year. Guess what, Joe? He back at the table. Hey, he definitely finna have a good year, boy. I mean, Bo Nix.

32:54Chad Johnson:Back at the table. It's a year for the quarterback.

32:57Shannon Sharpe:It absolutely is, Joe. It absolutely is. Damn. Hold on. Don't forget about our young bull over there in Tampa Bay now. Now, he might not. It might not get done in Tampa. it might get done somewhere else because they playing with him.

33:15Chad Johnson:Damn. Mm-hmm. Damn.

33:20Shannon Sharpe:But there going to be 10, 15 quarterbacks get paid next year for sure. At least 10. Damn. I know somebody else going to get paid next year too now. Who that? Huh? Who that?

33:42Shannon Sharpe:We about to get paid on Joe? What? I tell you one thing, boy, God don't play and he don't make no mistakes. Hello, hello. Hey, I say when we see them numbers, I'ma just kick my feet up and say, I'ma just say, I told you so.

Hey, and when you win, everybody get paid, bro. Yeah. They'll take care of you. You win. I mean, obviously, I know they gave up the running back, but for the most part, you know, them big play positions, and you get your money, bro. Yeah.

47:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, and look, I think K9, he's phenomenal, but I ain't paying them$20 million. He's not a$20 million back in my eyes. That's for Bijan. That's for Gibbs. That's for McCaffrey, a Saquon, a D. Henry. That's Jonathan Taylor. That kind of money is reserved for those guys. Yeah. Not saying that he's not a good back because he is. He's a solid back. But there's levels to everything.

52:15Shannon Sharpe:that his teammates celebrate after scoring a touchdown. Listen to this. I mean, it's really freaking hard to score in the NFL. When you get into games and things like that, it's really freaking hard. And so let's go celebrate when we do it. Two, it shows a sense of love and care for your teammates because you didn't get in the end zone. You weren't the one getting in the end zone, so you got to go down there and celebrate and have fun and dance and do all these things and come back to the sideline, focus up, and get ready to go do it again. And so it's something like the Spurs with Tony Parker a couple years ago.

52:47It's like, you know, it was this stat of like they go around and they slap hands more than anybody. And it's those small things, those small connections, those small moments that build up. And, you know, when it comes down to in those big moments, something from those moments and slapping hands and going down and celebrating with your teammates, they show up late in games, late in the year and things like that. And so it's important and it's really important to me and us.

53:15Oh Joe what you thinking I like that and you know I'm all for it that's right that's right up my alley that's right up Mali now how extensive do you want to go with these celebrations y 'all need to call me huh because we could turn we could turn that new stadium upside down huh hey hold on don't you get a penalty don't don't huh no no penalties important how to celebrate yeah absolutely absolutely but hey i got one right now uh that i'm thinking of that that would be bananas you know that's never been done now you might get a little fine but that celebration is gonna carry on forever iconic too yeah but that need to hear another but i mean it's dope and caleb wins is right hey joe it's very difficult to score yeah it's very difficult even though they do it every weak, no different teams and certain players do it all the time.

54:08It's very difficult. Very difficult, especially when they game planning to stop you.

54:14Chad Johnson:Hey, hey, hey. So it ain't no, you don't get fired for excessive celebrating none of that?

54:21Shannon Sharpe:No, you know, you like you can't use the goalpost as a prop. So you can't be a fireman. You can't go jump on the goalpost. You can't dunk it.

54:28Chad Johnson:You can't dunk over the goal.

54:29Shannon Sharpe:You can't dunk it. No. You can't throw the ball in the stands because that's a liability issue. You can't use the pylon, that's a prop, so you can't use anything as a prop.

54:39Chad Johnson:Mm. Yeah. I'm with Caleb, man. Let them boys celebrate. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

54:45Shannon Sharpe:Have me a good old time.

54:46Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah.

54:49Shannon Sharpe:Talk about act like you been there. I have. And then guess what? When I come back, I'm gonna do it again. Hey, they used to love saying that to me, Joe. Act like you been there? Yeah, I haven't. What you mean? and every time I get here I'm acting like I've never been here before. Every time. So you see that's Barry. Barry had the ball to the floor. Barry and Larry Fitzgerald. That ain't me though.

55:18Chad Johnson:You got to act a fool, ain't it man? What? All the way. Do a little something here and there. All that practicing I had to do. Running up in that man.

55:33Shannon Sharpe:But my favorite one, Joe. But you got to understand, that's not Barry's personality. Guys that celebrate, that's their personality. They got big, bold. Ocho and I have big, bold personalities. That's not Fitz's personality. That's not Barry's personality.

55:50Shannon Sharpe:That's T.O.'s personality. That's Ocho's personality. T. Man, T.O. was a fool, man. T.O. had the best celebration, man. They used to get mad at T.O. bad. I was on Fox. I said, keep him out of the end zone. When I was at CB, excuse me. I said, keep him out of the end zone. Y 'all mad y 'all. He dancing and doing all this stuff, showing y 'all up. He don't dance unless he get in the end zone. So if you keep him out of there, well, y 'all didn't do a good job because he got the end zone 130 times. Yeah. No, 150. Hey, Joe, I forgot what year it was. it was a year me to and steve smith i'm talking about every week joe we were back to back with something different yeah i think i might have been that oh five or oh six season i'm not sure what season it was but man i had a good celebration and steve smith come back he had a good one then to come back to had a good one i tell you we were going back and forth man fight like 11 12 weeks straight and that thing was awesome

56:52I don't know.

56:53Shannon Sharpe:Joe, you ain't celebrate Joe?

56:56Chad Johnson:Man, do a whole lot of celebrating Uncle Ocho. I had so much on my back. Hell, I, hey, hey, hey. It was hard to celebrate. When you got 82 games, man, it's hard to celebrate a damn win because it's like, hey, we got another one tomorrow.

57:10Shannon Sharpe:It's okay. I'll celebrate. I hear the buzzer beater. I'm going to celebrate that one too.

57:17Chad Johnson:Yeah, you do. 35 40 or somebody i'm celebrating too yeah hey now you ain't have like a uh like a not not a move what do you call it like um antoine walker had the shimmy now i ain't had no three oh oh i ain't gonna lie to you no boy was so much pressure on me when i can't hear hell i could and you can hey when you get your eyes beat in so damn much by time you do start winning here you appreciate them tough times that you had to go through and you just want to cherish the moment bro hey i ain't gonna lie to you i ain't gonna lie to you i i i thoroughly enjoyed when we started winning and making playoff run right but boy them first couple years was hell it was rough joe whoo it was hell

58:08Chad Johnson:bro joe who gave you the name iso i honestly don't know i think uh i don't know i think i watching film one day i can't even remember i think i was in brooklyn or somewhere and uh the commentator kept saying it for whatever reason i don't know but it just and then next thing you know it just kind of picked up and everybody just kept going with it but i don't know it's kind of happened over time bro yeah you know they used to call me the icel you didn't you didn't have that name in all you didn't have that name in atlanta uh i may got like toward probably toward the end right like a little bit before I got traded.

58:45Chad Johnson:Because when you think about it, we did it like statistically, and I was like one of the top guys who played in isolation. Isos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was like, you know, we had plays, but at the end of the day, when all that broke down and everybody knew I played, man, get in the ball and get your ass out of the way. It makes something happen. That's kind of how it was, for real. Yeah, you're going to have to show me that. Say less. If it, isojo.

1:02:35Shannon Sharpe:Hey, guys, whatever y 'all want, it's all joke. It pays to have rich friends, boy.

1:02:42Chad Johnson:Hey, chill out, Turbo. Chill out. It pays to have rich friends. I appreciate you, man.

1:02:51Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, the guppies, giving all their good players away. The Dolphins have traded wide receiver Tutu Atwell back to the Rams in exchange for Hawkins Hunter. Atwell originally signed a one-year contract with Miami in March after playing the first five years with the Rams. Ocho? I think, is this a need for the Rams or is it a need for the Dolphins? I think, me personally, I think they might anticipate some type of suspension coming down for Puka. Oh, so you think so? So they bring a tutu back to be able to, okay okay tutu knows the offense right bro i seen i seen something the other day when miami got like

1:03:33Chad Johnson:170 something million dead cap money yeah oh my god all the dudes they paying they ain't on their

1:03:40Shannon Sharpe:team yeah yeah yeah damn ramsey the fizz patrick gone uh tour yeah yeah yeah that's that's why

1:03:51Chad Johnson:that's why they're rebuilding uh uh uh what what's what's the receiver name towards uh uh tyree tyree yeah they they they got a book oh yeah are they bradley chubb yeah that's crazy man yeah it's crazy hey listen they went all in though they did they went for it they went all in and thought okay this if if there was the time if there's a window of opportunity. This is it. We paying everybody. Damn. It don't work out. Offload it.

1:04:22Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Start over. Well, they started over. According to Tracy McGrady, the MVP of the regular season has more weight than the championship. Joe, you believe that? MVP in the regular season has more weight than a championship.

1:04:44Chad Johnson:the mvp of the regular season has more weight than a championship yeah i i'll probably say so i think it's hard over 82 game season to be the best player in the league you know to be an mvp i think that's challenging i think to win a finals mvp that's what we're He's talking about, right?

1:05:10Shannon Sharpe:He said, he says a regular season MVP is more valuable than a championship.

1:05:15Chad Johnson:Wow.

1:05:17Shannon Sharpe:I think it's who wins the championship.

1:05:22Chad Johnson:And I mean, you had to have a hell of a year, bro, to win MVP. You had to have a hell of a year.

1:05:29Shannon Sharpe:I think, me personally, I think Brunson's championship is more valuable than Shea's MVP.

1:05:35Chad Johnson:Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because of the circumstance, because of the team.

1:05:40Shannon Sharpe:53 years in New York, a man his size. Guys his size don't lead teams to championships. Not his size. And 6 '2", Isaiah. 6 '2", Steph Curry. This man's six foot tall. Okay, 5 '11", but who counted? Six foot tall. He led them. That team. Go ahead, Joe. He beat the odds, too, because, man, nobody's seen this, bro.

1:06:10Chad Johnson:I mean, being down double figures in every game, Uncle Ocho in the finals, every game down double figures, and in the fourth quarter, some way, somehow, Jalen Brunson finds a way, bro. All you got to do is keep him close here. He going to make a big shot every game he done it. Hell of a run. He probably had the best run, finals run there ever was, bro. Like, I'm serious. Oh, being down double figures every game, huh?

1:06:37Shannon Sharpe:But you got to realize who Dirk beat. He beat the Heat. Remember, they beat the Thunder. They swept Kobe back-to-back championship team. See, people don't remember that, Joe.

1:06:48Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:06:48Shannon Sharpe:Or somehow they seem to forgot. They talk about, oh, how LeBron lose. They swept the Lakers. That team swept the Lakers. The back-to-back champion Lakers, they swept them. And they did a gentleman. If I'm not mistaken, I think they did a gentleman's sweep on OKC.

1:07:06Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah.

1:07:07Shannon Sharpe:And then they took down the big three in Miami.

1:07:10Chad Johnson:Yeah, yeah. And Dirk was special. Don't get me wrong. But he had some hard-working blue-collar guys next to him who understood. Huh?

1:07:20Shannon Sharpe:Jason Terry was phenomenal.

1:07:22Chad Johnson:Yeah, Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler. Like, they had guys, bro, who understood the assignment. I give them that. They played through Nowitzki. Not only was he huge in every damn game, but as a team, they had different guys step up and make big plays. That was a hell of a finals run, too. You're right. That was a hell of a...

1:07:42Shannon Sharpe:But my thing is we got to be careful because we can't pick and choose if we don't have a ring saying MVPs are more valuable. Because what happened to the ring? I thought the rings were valuable. I thought rings meant something.

1:07:57Chad Johnson:That's what we always talk about.

1:07:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. And now all of a sudden we say rings don't mean anything because, nah, nah, nah, we gotta pick a lane now. They keep moving the goal. We either the fast lane, we in the far left lane which is going fast, or we in the right lane where it's going slow. Now which one we in, Ocho? Hey, they moved the goal post depending on who it is. Oh yeah, Sean Merritt was on that team too, Joe.

1:08:20Chad Johnson:Yeah, he was, he was, he was. They had a nice whip, boy. Yeah. Hey, a nice whip. That was LeBron, what, first year in Miami? First year. Yeah. Yep. Yep, so it was a learning curve for them, but that was a hell of a final run, a hell of a final run.

1:08:40Shannon Sharpe:A regular season, the MVP of the regular season has more weight. I disagree. But I think it depends on who wins it.

1:08:51Chad Johnson:Yeah.

1:08:52Shannon Sharpe:Who wins the MVP? Yes. Yep. Yeah.

1:09:03Shannon Sharpe:Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

1:23:57Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to keep one of them on me.

1:23:59Chad Johnson:Yeah, let's hope we don't never have to get to that.

1:24:02Shannon Sharpe:What's up, fellas? This is my 29th birthday today, and I'm getting married September 12th to my high school sweetheart. It would be dope to get a shout-out from you guys for us so I can post it during the wedding. Cassie and Jose, love. Oh, my goodness. Cassie, Jose, bro, first of all, happy 29th birthday, Mac, and congratulations. not only on the birthday, but the wedding nuptials. It's unbelievable. Congratulations, Cassie. You got a good one. You got a great one. Not a good one, a great one. And I can't wait to see it. You know what? Once you guys get mad on the 12th, come back, jump back in the chat and tell us all about it, man.

1:24:39Shannon Sharpe:Appreciate that, man. We got some questions. Out of your schedule tonight. It's your birthday and you spend a little time with nightcap crew. Yes, sir. Appreciate it. Yeah, see, that's why I can't get that man. Come on, Joe. Look at that. Who sneezed? Who sneezed August? What's wrong with sneezing? Mm-mm. You know, got a little, you know, my nose a little stocked up. Damn. I bet it is. Probably got some hair follicles in there. Oh, man. None of that. None of that. None of that. Damn. What team would Lamar be a good fit for besides the Ravens?

1:25:18Chad Johnson:Falcon.

1:25:19Shannon Sharpe:um Falcons would have been I I still don't I still can't believe they didn't do it hey but anyway Falcons the Cardinals anybody that ain't got a top quarterback I say I say Atlanta

1:25:35Chad Johnson:Atlanta be whoo I don't damn yeah yeah I must think I must think this kind of possible or something no no I mean we just don't we throwing out hypothetical okay okay because they asked the question

1:25:47Shannon Sharpe:he might go back and link with Harbaugh at the Giants how and they got Jackson Dart oh you're right about that I forgot about that I forgot about that but what you call him ain't got no Jackson Dart who the Falcons the Cardinals oh yeah who else NLC East NLC North NLC West but a few places he can go Steelers stay at the Ravens Falcons Cardinals that's about it True Blues to Covis huh now I'm looking at this brand called to Covis to Covis yeah they make oh you know what that is hmm probably the most probably the most popular ones oh so it's like Jordan's for basketball yeah okay how would and how should we remember modern NFL NBA championship teams given how soft both leagues are now everybody

1:27:14Shannon Sharpe:the thing is that everybody plays up under the same rules the rules that were implemented back then everybody had to play up under those rules everybody had to play up under these rules right now the games are more exciting man I mean I remember games used to be 75-73 haha I think the thing, Joe, for me, people think physicality is great because you knocking hell out of somebody. No, I don't want to see that in basketball.

1:27:45Chad Johnson:Right. Right.

1:27:47Shannon Sharpe:I don't. Maybe some people do want to see that. I don't want to see that.

1:27:51Chad Johnson:You got to – Hey, the teams that implement that type of physical play, obviously it depends on who you're playing against. You know, obviously you're playing against a Wimby, Anka, Ocho, you don't got no damn choice. You got to lead with violence playing against him, bro. You know, I'm just keeping it real. You know, you got to be physical. It's just part of the game. But I understand what you're saying. The scoring is up, I think, in both sports. And, yeah, man, it's played a lot different than what it was back in the day.

1:28:20Shannon Sharpe:Yes. And you just have to adapt. Yeah. One and two, Ocho three and four, ISO is five. I don't know how y 'all got me one over Ocho. what you mean high it's easy no i say i think y 'all teeter tight some days

1:28:39Chad Johnson:on you be one someday ocho b1 it just depends y 'all coming that's why i say y 'all one a one b but i'm so damn far down now that ain't there see see what i'm talking about see you want you you want you won't keep it 100 though you won't keep it 100 see how you acting you won't keep it 100. You, Joe,

1:28:59Shannon Sharpe:you don't want to be on the list, Joe. You just don't want to be on the most wanted list.

1:29:08Shannon Sharpe:I just can't

1:29:09Chad Johnson:pass y 'all. Ain't no way I can pass y 'all.

1:29:13Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I think that's why Joe don't get asked. Hey, Ocho, don't worry about it, Ocho. We're going to go back to Little Rock, Arkansas. We're going to dig up some of the more booger bass that he used to talk to. Yeah. I see I think hey I think that's why Joe hey I think that's that's what it is I think that's why Joe don't like the answer answer the phone when I'm in Atlanta huh I think he ashamed to be seen with me in public man you think that's what it is yeah I think you you you ashamed be like what are you hanging out with old show boy that boy wow nah nah nah hey hey hey uh and
