Nightcap Hour 2: Eagles SNEAK PASS the Bills + Drake Maye or Matthew Stafford for MVP? + Seahawks continue to CRUISE vs Panthers + Raiders CLOSE to SECURING #1 overall pick

27:02Shannon Sharpe:So it's going to be very interesting. But Matthew Stafford, hey. They're going to probably go 1-2 in the MVP voting. Ready for a different take on Formula One? Look no further than No Grip, a new podcast tackling the culture of motor racing's most coveted series. Join me, Lily Herman, as we dive into the underexplored pockets of F1, including the astrology of the current grid. Lewis Hamilton, Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. Wouldn't you know it, Michael Schumacher is also a Capricorn Sun, Cancer Moon. The story of the sport's most consequential driver's strike. We have one man who, upon hearing that he was going to be fired, freaked out, and apparently climbed out the window of the bathroom.

27:43And was Daniel Ricciardo's illustrious F1 career a success story, a cautionary tale, or some combination of both. He started getting all this attention, and he maybe started to think, I'm bigger than this. I'm better. And plenty of other mishaps, scandals, and sagas that have made Formula One a delightful, decadent dumpster fire for more than 75 years. Listen to No Grip 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.

28:21Shannon Sharpe: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. 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.

28:58Together, 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. I'm Daniel Jeremiah. And I'm Greg Rosenthal. And this is 40s and free agents. The games may be over, but the NFL never stops. This is my favorite part of the calendar. Yeah, mine too, Greg. Free agency, the combine, the NFL draft, pro days, trades. This is where teams reshape their future. This is where Daniel Jeremiah makes his money. On 40s and free agents, we break down every move that actually matters.

29:38From my draft evaluations, mock drafts, and team fits. To my top 101 free agents and how real rosters are built, cap space, contracts, and all the tough decisions included. You got quarterbacks on the move. We got teams rebuilding. It's hope season. Yeah, absolutely. It's hope season. We'll tell you what's real, what's noise, and what it means for your favorite team. Smart analysis, real conversations every week. I don't know about the smart, but definitely analysis. Listen to 40s and free agents on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

30:35gonna stick. 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.

30:45Shannon Sharpe: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, man. You can't be rolling around the city like this the night before games, you know, doing this, doing whatever. And of course, family stories. They'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.

31:27Each 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. 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.

32:05Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, got to be. The Bengals. Yeah, the who?

32:18Shannon Sharpe:The Bengals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the Cardinals today by the score of 37 to 14. But that wasn't the story. The story was guard Cody Ford provided the most surprising places in the field. Ocho, they put him outside. He's a guard. He weighs 303 pounds. They threw him a stop right. Joe said he went through his progressions. He wanted to throw it to Chase. Chase was covered. He threw it out there to him. Ocho, he's turned and got 20. I jumped up my goddamn seat and said what the, you should have saw Joe Burrow's reaction. Joe Mount was wide open like what the hell? That is an offensive lineman dream.

33:04To be able to score a touchdown maybe run the ball like Refrigerator Perry did but to go out and line up out wide at

33:11Shannon Sharpe:receiver, catch a stop route, break a tackle and gain 20 yards? Hold on, he almost scored If he'd have scored Give him the ESPY NFL player of the year, if he'd have scored But the Cardinals Ought to be embarrassed They gotta be embarrassed But also, you gotta think about it, you got a 300 pound man Out there, and you're not used to tackling that You're not used to tackling that Why you trying to tackle 300 pounds up high? The first dude tried to tackle And he got exactly what he deserved he got exactly what he deserved but you can tell you know what you can tell too before you go on to the next thing you can tell that when he wasn't as big he must have played some type of offense he probably played tight end he played some type of offense that looked like that at 300 pounds with the ball in his hands he probably played he probably played he probably played Ocho he probably played a tight end at some point in time maybe played hoop because Ocho you gotta understand saying that a lot of times they have a wrist, you know, wrist protector.

34:18Shannon Sharpe:So they wrist don't bend back. Yeah. Yeah. They got a whole, they got to be thick ass gloves on. Yeah. And everything, everything, everything taped up too. He caught that thing like it was nothing. Uh, Joe was 24, 31, 305, two touchdowns, no pick. He was sacked three times. Chase 22 carries 101 yards. Uh, excuse me. Chase Brown, 22 carries, 101 yards. And he was told that thing. Tomorrow, Chase has seven for 60 for two touchdowns on nine targets. T had four for 59 on five targets. Michael Wilson, Michael Wilson. Oh, Joe, I told you this kid here. Hey, he nice, huh? Hey, he's the number. He's the number.

35:05Never mind.

35:05Shannon Sharpe:I ain't finna say it. Trey McBride, 10 for 76. He now sets a new NFL record for the most reception of the season by a tight end. He passed Zach Ertz. Zach Ertz had the record at 116. He now has 117 with a game to go.

35:26Shannon Sharpe:I think Chase has 117 catches. Puka has 114. So it's going to come down. It's going to really come down to the end who leads. Well, obviously, you know, Chase is in the AFC. Chase is going to lead the AFC in catchers again, but it's going to come down to McBride and Puka who leads the NFC in catchers. And I think you said Gronk led the AFC in tight ends and catches once upon a time. But Marvin Harrison Jr., no receptions on one target. I remember that play. It was broken up. That play was broken up by Dax Hill. Dax Hill. I remember that play. It was a third down too. Jacoby Brissett was 21 of 37, 212.

36:11Shannon Sharpe:He was sacked four times. They didn't run the football. So Cincinnati, you know, Cincinnati has been playing a lot better defensively. They've been getting after the quarterback, Ocho. They had, what, four sacks today. Cedric Johnson had a sack. T.J. Slate Jr. had a sack. Shemar Stewart finally got a sack. Finally got a sack. Miles Murphy had a sack. but they are playing better today than what they played in a very, very long time. And unfortunately, it's going to be all for naught. When Trey McBride made his first catch early in the game in the second quarter, he became the first tight end in NFL history to have back-to-back 110 catches in multiple seasons.

36:51Shannon Sharpe:He's the only tight end that's ever gone over 100 twice, right? Has the tight end ever had multiple 100-catch seasons? He also set an NFL record. We mentioned 117 catches. He finished with 10 catches over the season. Oh, he got 119. Pooka's at 114, right, with tomorrow's game to play. Okay. And Chase is at 117. Okay. The Seahawks beat the Panthers by the score of 27-10 for the sixth straight win. Still need to beat the 49ers to have the number one seed. Even after winning 13 games, including six straight, the Seahawks will need to beat the 49ers in week 18 to win the NFC West and secure home field throughout the playoffs.

37:35Shannon Sharpe:Seattle still has a glaring turnover problem. They've given the ball away 28 times this season, the second most in the NFL. Their two fumbles today came via Sam Darnold fumble and an interception. Darnold now leads the league with 20 giveaways. Ocho, you turn the ball in the postseason, they're going home. I don't give a damn how good you've been playing. He was 18 of 27, 147 yards, one touchdown, one interception, and he had a fumble. Zach Charbonneau, 18 carries, a buck, 10. Kenneth Walker III, 15 for 51. 36 carries, 163 yards. JSN, Jackson Smith, and Jigba, he had nine catches for 72 yards.

38:17Shannon Sharpe:So he's got a chance, Ochoa, at 1 ,800. Yeah. He had, what do you have? 1639 1639 so now he's over 1700 with a chance there ain't a whole lot of receivers that's ever had 1800 and a whole lot of receivers that's had 1800 yards of the season what was the what's the record again 1964 how many how many how many yards we need to break that what a 200 yard game yeah no he need he would need a hundred he's over 1700 so he would need 165 who they play next uh they got the 49ers oh well hell the way the way the game what the way that luther burton got luther burton got 130 something so i know he's like with luther burton and i'm He's better than him.

39:13Yeah, and he's going to get way more opportunities too. Yep. So there's a good chance he might break that record, huh? He might. He might.

39:25Shannon Sharpe:Really good chance he might break that record. Bryce Young was 14-24, 54 yards. Ocho they had 139 yards of total offense hey that goddamn Seattle defense ain't no joke bro boy they coming D-Law played out of his damn mind D-Law going to the Pro Bowl yeah hey how come he was like this with the Cowboys wasn't he He went to the Pro Bowl a couple of times. You heard me? Wasn't he good there? He got injured. He kind of got nicked. But he needed to have a change of scenery. He needed to go somewhere else. He needed to be somewhere else. D-Long had a sack and a fumble recovery.

40:20Shannon Sharpe:Moffey had a sack.

40:27Shannon Sharpe:But, yeah, Seattle's playing. I mean, this is going to be an A. That game next week, Seattle and 49ers, Ocho? Woo! They might score 40 apiece. They might. The Dolphins beat the Bucs, Ocho. It's hard to fathom that the Bucs can still win the division next week despite dropping seven of their past eight games. But if the Falcons lose or tie either of the final two games, the rest of the Rams, to the Saints in Week 18, the Bucs beat the Panthers. The Bucs would get in based on record versus common opponents, 4-4 versus 3-5. Man, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened to Tampa, Ocho.

41:08Shannon Sharpe:I don't. Yeah, I don't either. I saw Mike Evans. Mike Evans was frustrated. You don't see him show emotion very often, but he was frustrated today. Baker Mayfield was running all over the place trying to make plays work, trying to make things happen. Obviously, he used his legs very well. Costly interceptions. interception and the Dolphins just played well today. They played well today. Quinn Uris, he looked nice, huh? 14-22, 172, two touchdowns. And that Dolphins was moving up and down the field. Devon Achan. Achan looked good too. 18-83. Jalen Wright, 5-56. Theo Reese Jr. had one catch for 63 yards and a touchdown.

41:58Shannon Sharpe:Dulick, 5 for 58 and a touchdown. Baker Mayfield was 33 of 44, 346, two touchdowns, two turnovers. And he had two fumbles. He lost one, so he had three turnovers. Again, go back to last week. Another heavy turnover game. Yeah. They get themselves into trouble when Baker turns the ball over. Jalen McMillan, seven catches, a buck 14. Chris Godwin Jr., 7 for a buck 08 and a touchdown. Mike Evans, three for 31 and a touchdown. They didn't run the ball particularly well. Bucky Irving, I saw Bucky Irving getting upset on the sideline and Tristan Worth was trying to calm him down. Like, hey, we'll be okay.

42:37Shannon Sharpe:We'll get this thing figured out.

42:45Whatever.

42:47Shannon Sharpe:I'm just, this is not, if you're Tampa, I mean, who you, I mean, you mess around and get Seattle. you must be trying to get the 49ers you must be trying to get the Rams coming to your building that's nasty work boy I don't want no you going home I don't want none of that unless hold on unless Baker Mayfield has an out of body performance against those teams you're going to have to match offense for offense you're going to have to match score for score Quinn Ewers had eight incompletions what do you think Stafford what do you think Purdy See, the only thing that concerns me about Sam Darnold is the turnover machine.

43:26Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Those other two guys do a very good job of taking care of the football. Taking the ball, yeah. Sam Darnold got the second most turnovers in the NFL. That's not good. Mm-mm. Because that'll get your ass beat come playoff time. Matter of fact, in Minnesota, what was the problem? What was the problem? He turned the ball over and got blown out. Bingo. There you go. The Raiders are in position to have the top draft pick, Ocho, after a 34-10 loss to the Giants. Vegas, 2-14, will secure the top pick with a loss next week to Kansas City. And quarterback Geno Smith is unlikely to play because of a high ankle sprain.

44:05Shannon Sharpe:He wasn't playing anyway. The Raiders get to reach 10 games, which matches the longest season streak and for the fifth longest in franchise history. they look bad they bad I mean I I mean I don't really know what y 'all want me to say about it but they bad hey hey um what what would the Raiders gonna do I'm just curious what do you do at this point what does Mark Davis do at this point what does Pete Carroll do at this point they need to move in they need to move on I mean Geno was 28 of 20 Kenny Pickett was 2 of 2 so 22 of 30 168 yards one touchdown two interceptions Ashton Gentry 16 for 60 they had 20 carries for 63 yards so basically 3 yards 3.3 yards a carry they're just bad they're just bad And you sound so disappointed.

45:09Shannon Sharpe:It is. I mean, I mean, Jacoby Myers, look, I mean, he's a competent receiver. I mean, Myers played well for New England. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. I thought he played well for the Raiders. They just, now he's found new life. He made a huge-ass catch today. It was 3rd and 11, and Trevor Lawrence was under heavy pressure, and he threw it, caught it for 10, and they ended up going for it on fourth down and basically running out the clock. And a guy came in, threw a hair of Mary in the end zone that got picked. But, man, the Raiders just... Jackson Dart was 22 or 32, 07, no touchdowns, no interception.

45:49Shannon Sharpe:Tyrone Tracy, 14 for 62. Dart, 9, 48. Devin Singletary had 8 for 45, 35 attempts, 155 yards, three touchdowns, two of those by Jackson Dart. Wondell Robinson, 11 for a buck, 13. Wondell. Raiders just bad. Let's move on. We don't need to talk about them no more. I know. I'm just... What do you do? I mean, what do you... I mean, chat. Maybe chat. Maybe y 'all have an explanation. Where do the Raiders go? What do you do? If you were Mark Davis, I just want to see you in the chat. I'm just curious because I'm stuck. I'm at a loss for words. I can't even think of what they need to do to become better.

46:30I don't even know what position you start with. They got no receivers.

46:34Shannon Sharpe:your best players are tight end. You need a quarterback. You need an offensive line. You need defensive players to go along with Max Crosby if you're going to keep him. Damn. Trade that number one. I don't know. Maybe there's a quarterback in the draft that you like, but you got to build. I mean, that's a... They're bad. They're just bad, Ocho. They are. They're just bad. Tyler Shook. Bad news, Bears bad? Yep. Tyler Shook rallies the Saints with a big second half to beat the Titans by the score of 34-26. New Orleans may have just found their quarterback, Ocho. Tyler Shook is playing for the first-year head coach, Kellen Moore.

47:25Shannon Sharpe:The rookie improved to 5-3 as a starter, helping the Saints go 6-10, win their fourth straight. He outplayed number one overall pick Cam Ward in the NFL's third game between starting rookie quarterbacks this season. Shook, 22 of 27. A career best, 333 yards, two touchdowns, and a passer rating of 142.7. Chris Olave, 84, Buck 19 in the tub. Juwan Johnson, 4 for 95. Dante Pettis, 3 for 53. Cam Ward was 21 of 40 251 two touchdowns no interceptions Tony Pollard had 18 for 85 Okongwu 355 with a touchdown Dyke had Dike is it Dike D-I-K-E

48:19Shannon Sharpe:455 Van Jefferson had 346 Jeffrey Simmons had another Sacko Cho yeah I told you I mean look we beat the kid up because I'm trying to say shock and it's like pronounced shook I'm like man this guy here Tyler's his ass off yeah oh he he balling huh he he balling he balling I think what I think was it was the last week I mean we're talking about the Saints and I thought I thought yeah I said Ocho what if he what if what if he's that guy yeah i mean i i didn't know i didn't know and you know saints fans got on my head but oh we've seen enough you know he's he's a future i'm i'm assuming maybe maybe everybody likes him maybe maybe he's a future but i remember you know it was some of them uh a merry-go-round a quarterback carousel it was spencer rattler then it was him and i'm not i'm not sure if they went back to spencer it might have been might have been because of injury or whatever but then shook came back you know and since he's come back he has not relinquished that starting spot and it's not going to relinquish it.

49:25Shannon Sharpe:Cam Jordan had another sack. Chase Young took the ball out of the hand and ran a touchdown. He's starting to look like the number two overall draft pick. This is what they envisioned. Obviously, Washington, he was defensive rookie of the year, goes to the Pro Bowl. He tears his knee. He's not the same player. Bounce goes to San Fran. He plays okay, but he wasn't great there. He found a home here in in New Orleans, and he looks like the number two overall pick. Sometimes you look at him, you question his mind, like, damn, son, you that big, that strong, that fast, you got to give me a little bit more effort than that.

50:03Shannon Sharpe:But I love the way he's bounced back this year. I love the way he's played. But Tyler Shook has played extremely well, Ocho. Kelly Moore, another guy, can dial it up, Ocho. Oh, yeah. He can dial it up. Yeah. Matter of fact, that might be a reason why they look the way they do. Yep, absolutely. So, the Saints, 6-10, 34-26 victory over the Titans. All right, guys, we're going to get you out of here after this. Where are we going? It's been a long day. We leaving? Time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. Damn, man, we just started.

50:53Shannon Sharpe:uh kevin norwood junior ocho i think you'll be good at being a comedian you'll be great at coming up with jokes do you have a joke for us tonight

51:05hey give me two minutes let me think let me think of something good because i my last three jokes have been phenomenal they actually been really good so i can't give you a dud just just just let me let me let me think of something real good let me think of something good

51:20Shannon Sharpe:i'm gonna come back to bell og almost not almost called 9-1-1 the way the eagles d-line harass uh the bills tonight they did they put it they put uh um josh allen in the duress it was that one turnover ocho i don't know what he was thinking i mean he's talking about that was a a forward pass no bro the ball slipped out of your hand it went way way way way back and they end up getting points out of that. That's the one thing that he cannot do. You cannot turn the ball over, Josh. You know that. Yeah, and that's been his problem. That's been his Achilles heel, and he somewhat stopped doing it. And tonight was one of those nights where he tried to put everything was on him on.

52:01He had to put the team on his back, and he just couldn't get it done tonight. Yep.

52:08Shannon Sharpe:I'm G-L-Y-N for real. Let's go. Hey, Uncle Ocho. thank you guys thank you for support Babin Patel Steelers absolutely hosed by no call on pass interference on Denzel Ward NFL had to make sure Steelers lost so ratings be great for next week versus the Ravens for the division man stop that that wasn't no P.I. that wasn't no P.I. that wasn't no P.I.

52:34Shannon Sharpe:ZZHD won I can't lie on the note show the Bears will be a problem in the playoffs and Cam Ward is him He's getting better and better. Got to put some more weapons around him, though. That's it. Bryce G5W. So, I came on last week about my dog being sick. Well, she passed today. Took her down to see our family for the week in Warner Robins. We made it back to the house. She passed. R.I.P. Bella Mae. She was held when she was well. Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Anybody that has a pet, you know it's almost like a family member passing. so we're sorry to hear hopefully she didn't suffer a whole lot and Bella crossed that rainbow bridge 8 nil wins the Bears the Niners the number one seed 49ers and 4

53:29Shannon Sharpe:I mean everybody still has a chance the Bears have a chance Seattle has a chance can the Rams get the number one seed if the 49ers win the 49ers would be the number one seed wouldn't they

53:49Shannon Sharpe:I don't think the Rams can get the number one seed

54:00Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying to see if the

54:05Shannon Sharpe:Tar Hockey 33 I as a Bears fan have no problem with the laws. We fought hard. Our franchise quarterback may play after play after play. Oh, yeah. We just didn't win. To all the haters in the chat, y 'all STF, y 'all don't know a D thing. No, the chat with the Bears season. Okay. So it's either the Bears, the 49ers. The Bears can't be the number one either. It's either the 49ers or Seattle. Okay.

54:41Shannon Sharpe:uh pappy ray 94 45 oh oh how caffeinated were nfl players before kickoff coffee red bull caffeine pills or were there some guys uh just naturally wired i mean some what everybody was different yeah everybody did you know got some that do caffeine some just take the smell of salt i mean everybody had a different routine right in it yeah it depends on who you are i mean the The Fin Fin used to be a big thing back then. Man, that thing make you, man, your heart may feel like it's about to jump out your chest. The who? What it's called? Fin Fin. Okay. Okay. Okay. But NFL, they cut down on that. They're like, no, you're not finna do that.

55:19Shannon Sharpe:You're not finna down on our watch. But yeah, guys drink coffee. I mean, look, I couldn't take anything. I'm already too amped. Mm-mm. Uh, vault. OFJS8974, Unc Ocho, Ram fan here. We fumble the number one seed. Shaking my head. I'm confident in our offense, but that secondary scares me a little. This is going to be an exciting playoff on the NFC side. You're absolutely right. Very, very good one. Absolutely right.

55:56Shannon Sharpe:JSP, Reezy5544. All hail Strahan. And still 16 games sack. Leader facts. That code 18-12. The Patriots versus the Bears in the Super Bowl. Oh, y 'all. I called it.

What do y 'all think about the Vikings going after Mac Jones with those weapons? O 'Connell, I think he can go back to Mac 10. If I'm not mistaken, Mac Jones signed a two-year deal, so you'd have to trade compensation to get it. Mm-hmm.

56:45Shannon Sharpe:Phillip Esco3192, what's up, O 'Connor Cho? Today, Monday, we need to read. It's my 31st, 34th birthday, and I was wondering if I could get a birthday shout-out.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:Week 18, Steelers versus the Ravens. Winner goes to the playoff. Losers fire their head coach. What's next for Rodgers if Steelers lose? That's a question. It seems like he's having fun. The question, does he want to come back, put himself through that, an offseason, and put himself through another 17-week season at age of 42 years of age? That's a question that only he can answer. Kevin Boaknight, my defense struggled now, but we pitched shutout in the Super Bowl. Bank on it. Hashtag 49ers. Hey, look. Seattle has an offense. The Rams have an offense. Crazy. The 49ers have an offense. the Eagles are more defensive sound than offensive they struggled a little bit but the NFC is going to be really really interesting it's going to be really really interesting Trayvon Whitaker why you be yelling at Ocho like he Ravens head coach tell Harbaugh get him Ocho

59:25Shannon Sharpe:Kawhi's been looking great lately. T.S. Carbway's detail. Kawhi been looking great. Four games. 32, 41, 28, 55. Damn, he had 55 tonight? Harden's been looking well also. Mm-hmm. Elmer Velasquez. Uncle Ocho. Hope y 'all had a great holiday. Y 'all think Tyler Shook wins offensive rookie of the year over McMillan. Shook even swept the Panthers 5-3 as a starter. Who day? Ocho, you can say foot and ball. I think McMillan's going to get it. I really do. I thought Henderson had a chance, the Patriots running back. Yeah. Because he had some big runs, but he got nicked. And so, I think, actually, I think McMillan's going to win it.

1:00:11Yeah.

1:00:12Shannon Sharpe:Rookie of the year? Yep.

1:00:57Shannon Sharpe:Robbie Pate as much as these as much as these 45 % of people in Chad want Huntley to start we all know Lamar is not missing this game Buddha bag you know you know good and well you wouldn't want Kubiak starting if y 'all had a chance to make the playoffs just because L is 100%. I wouldn't go for Lamar. I wouldn't. Nor would Lamar. Eight will play. No, I trust. No. If John's not healthy, the healthiest guy's going to give you the best chance to win. His legs, Lamar Jackson is not the same without those legs. Y 'all know that. Y 'all know that.

1:01:37Shannon Sharpe:then the first thing you holler the first thing that you hollered against when he didn't run the ball against Kansas City he ain't run the ball why you care

1:01:49Shannon Sharpe:so if he can't run the ball if he can't get out of harm's way why do you care because I was gonna happen then if things don't go according to your plan he can't get away from Highsmith and he can't get away from those guys I don't know why he started it. You know it was hurt. I know you know what's coming, Ocho. Red Hood, I understand you, Unk, but you got to remember this is the Steelers. We saw how well that worked last time against the Bengals. Rather than a win with Lamar with a chance to the Super Bowl, they're potentially losing without him on the bench. Bro, with that defense, y 'all not going to no Super Bowl.

1:02:26Shannon Sharpe:You're not. You're not. I mean, Malik Willis is going to get a big contract thanks to you guys. He's going to get a big contract, Ocho. Yeah. He played really well, boy. I'm talking about really well. Low to spot, the Bills band, the Adia fan, who shoved Lamar in week one for life. Yeah. The NFL is going to ask Detroit why didn't they take action against this gentleman when it was brought to them that he had said things and it was corroborated by people in the stands. The NFL's going to want to know why. And the Lions are going to have some very tough questions to answer. Mm-hmm.

1:03:13Shannon Sharpe:Because if not, guess what? DK can sue. Y 'all put me in harm's way. LeVar 4. The two hardest professions are law enforcement and athletes. The only two jobs where fans and citizens can to harass and provoke you while you're at work.

1:03:35Shannon Sharpe:And Capalot, if yours continues to work, continues to win and look better than Tua, do you guys think Tua will save McDaniel's job? I'm not so sure McDaniel's is in trouble as much as we previously thought, Ocho. No, I don't think Mr. Ross wanted to leave anyway. I don't think so either. Uh-uh.

1:04:01Shannon Sharpe:Jatorian Fox, Lamar has a back and hamstring injury, Ocho, trying to get that man killed. Eagle fan 78, sup, Ocho. Thank you for everything y 'all do. Texans-Eagles feel like a very similar defense keeps them in. Who's better and why? The Texans? I'll take the Texas defense on Joe yeah absolutely man but that Texas defense well them boys playing some ball boy hell yeah and they playing some ball it's Matty Uncle Elgato Joe y 'all got for a war Super Bowl matchup Rams Bills for me this is the easiest path Josh Allen ever had look I agree it is his nemesis, his kryptonite is out. Mahone boy and the Kansas City Chiefs.

1:04:57Shannon Sharpe:Tim's bid. If Ocho was a GM, he would like the guy and movie dictator. Everything is okay about a player, then give the sign to cut it.

1:05:12Shannon Sharpe:Nasa Dew said, can my Giants get a little more love? It was Raiders, but shout out to Wondell for reaching 1 ,000 yards this season and no concussions for Dart when he ran.

1:05:30Shannon Sharpe:Bro, how many games did the Giants win? Four? Did they win their third win?

1:05:44Shannon Sharpe:Bro, y 'all got three wins.

1:05:49Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all get a pat on the head. Mike, Mike, what's up? I'm going to know Joe. With this week being fantasy football championship, can y 'all start a league next year with nightcap crew? I want to see if Ocho reacted playing Lamar while hurt. Love the pie. Keep it up. Yeah, we might look into getting us a league. I like that. All I know is I can beat Ocho. In what? Fantasy. Man.

1:06:18uh

1:06:19Shannon Sharpe:TM 51-79 Panero Panero shouldn't have kicked the touch back field position is everything in the two minute for Drew yep because you start the ball you start off at the 20 35 yard line uh

1:06:36Shannon Sharpe:Junior underscore triple I if what Jay Glazer reported is true DK should be on the field against the Ravens uh and that line racist bum should be banned from all NFL events for life. You're right. But the NFL also want to relieve to try to relieve themselves from culpability because you know he's going to include them. So NFL said we didn't know about this. We took steps once we found out about this. When did you know? What did you know? And what did you do about it Ocho?

1:07:18Shannon Sharpe:John Pallister you guys think Dan Campbell missing Ben Johnson as a coach this year hell yeah also who who got the Lions Bears next Sunday I got Bears I got the Bears yeah
