20:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Ocho, new details revealed regarding John Harbaugh's dismissal via The Athletic. John Harbaugh was fired in a phone call while driving home. Not a resignation, not mutual. Fan frustration, blown leads, and empty late-season seats factored into that decision. Players were reportedly losing faith in Harbaugh's messaging and leadership style. DaCosta held back tears as he told Harbaugh's staff. Some found out through a video call. Damn. I mean, told you, hey, season over. So sometimes, you know, you can't do everything in a formal way, in a formal format, you know, or I like to say respectful way for all the time and work I've put in throughout the years.

21:39You would like to have a conversation in person. It doesn't happen like that.

21:44Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes it doesn't. And you just, hey, you're not coming back and that's that. Damn. After all I've done for you after all i've done for you you're not coming back and tell me you're gonna let me go hold on okay well how about how about did you how about did you tell you your last day is june well you know if my last days in june matter of fact if if i'm knowing that if i lose this playoff game that y 'all firing me make sure after the game you have my last check ready how about that Ocho, he's still got three years left and$34 million, so you're good. I tell you what, how about do me a solid?

22:30Shannon Sharpe:With that? Give me all my money at once. Nah, because if you get another job, all we're going to do is just that. You're going to defer? We might not have to pay you nothing. Right, yeah, you're right, you're right. ESPN Jeremy Fowler cited one person with the Ravens who said, it's no coincidence that Harbaugh was fired as the team prepares to engage Lamar in contract talks this offseason. Fowler reports that the Ravens know life is better with Lamar than without, but added the two-time NFL MVP contract situation is perhaps the most underplayed story in the league right now. How is it underplayed?

23:06It's common sense. You know it has to come. You know it has to be done. You know he's not going to have a$70 million cap it yesterday, so it's no point it has to get done. you see what goddamn god damn it Josh Allen you saw what Josh Allen got so we gonna be somewhere in the ballpark in the same area Lamar Jackson and Mom Dukes they don't have no agent they know exactly where their numbers are supposed to fall up under

23:33Shannon Sharpe:and he has a no trade clause and he has a no you can't franchise him we not playing them games franchise who franchise him that one number 8 the young dude from Pompano come on man stop playing man he is the Baltimore Ravens he is the offense he is their identity I agree you're preaching to the choir I've been here all day just like you okay the only thing is you know what do they pass the collection plan to the choir nah nah just the congregation I was thinking I was like I don't think I'll ever remember the plate going to the choir nah nah you know I sang in the junior choir and the senior choir I used to lead all the songs and the collection plate I used to have to sing when they singing the plate be going around in the congregation junior choir who?

24:35Shannon Sharpe:man we used to do all that practice the only time we got to sing was on second Sunday the junior choir got to sing on the second Sunday uh huh yeah but you know you know i led a few songs with the senior choir too i led him you let me yeah knit across you know hymn number 392 ask someone for a suitable tune you led devotional service come on now you know uh that's what i mean that's our grandfather did me and my brother he said Hey, y 'all boys leading devotional service today. Oh, we are? All right, which one of y 'all gonna lead prayers today? Who? Man, I did it last time.

25:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, my cousin, we go down there. Yeah. We're getting baptized today. Right. But, no, look, I just felt I just saw the way things were going. Yes, sir. And I understand, look, as a head coach, you can hear everything, every call that the offensive coordinator is making. Yes, sir. You can hear every call that the defensive coordinator once you change the frequency. So, I get all that.

26:07Bro, you mean to tell me you okay with Derek Heron not being in the game for 12 minutes and you fighting for your playoff life?

26:18Shannon Sharpe:Hold on, you fight. No, no, no, no. I know what we normally have. We normally have a rotation, but not tonight. Not tonight.

26:32Shannon Sharpe:I'm surprised that it kind of like this because before you know the reports were that John Harbaugh only reported to Steve Bishotti right so there was really no there was really no in between there is no like sometimes you have to go to the general manager or this or that but he's like no I talked directly to I talked directly to Steve

27:00he'll handle it he'll be okay huh no I'm trying to figure out my camera cut off again I just I

27:06Shannon Sharpe:don't I thought you said you was trying to think of a thing of a song we used to sing in the choir oh I know hey on near the cross was was that was my go to go tell it on the mountain that ain't near the cross oh no i'm just telling i'm giving you songs that i used to leave well damn if you're gonna say in the cross near the cross i thought you was gonna leave with in the cross oh oh no i ain't wanted to bless blessed assurance come on yes hey don't don't play with me uh wait hey um i i was so little but i had a voice on me this is before puberty hit so once puberty hit my voice started changing up so i didn't sound as pure as i did when I was younger.

27:46Shannon Sharpe:I can only imagine. Hey, boy, listen. Matter of fact, you know what? I was so good as a youngster, you know, the Mississippi Mass Choir tried to have me come. They tried to recruit you, huh? And get me on tour. They wanted me to be a part of the Mississippi Children's Choir because I was so good. I was going to lead there and then I was going to lead the Mississippi Mass Choir. I was going to sing some duets. I was going to sing some duets with God, dog it. Mosey Burks. If you don't, hey, Chad. Chad, y 'all do your homework on Mosey Burks. The Mississippi Mass Choir wanted me to have a duet when I was young with Ms.

28:26Mosey Burks. That's how good I was, huh? Man. If it wasn't for football, I would have still been singing today. Yeah. You know what? I was like Kirk Franklin before Kirk Franklin was a thing. That's how energetic I was when it came to singing. ask about it

28:45Shannon Sharpe:Kurt Franklin huh Kurt Franklin huh I was something like that I had great energy great energy yeah ask anybody ask anybody ask anybody part of the Mississippi Mass Choir about my voice you said mass or mask Mississippi Mass oh I thought you talked about the Mississippi Mass Choir because we don't need to see nothing or hear nothing yeah Mississippi Mass Oh, I thought you said Mississippi Mads Choir. Chat, did y 'all think he said Mississippi Mads Choir? Yeah, it's only one Mississippi Mads. Hey, they're incomparable. They're illustrious. Yes, I know who they are. Hold on, the greatest Mads Choir of all time.

29:26It is. Yes. They wanted me when I was young. I was a baby. Come on now. Yeah.

29:35Shannon Sharpe:I'm pressing on. I'm pressing on. I'm trying to reach my heavenly home. Come on, now. I got a few more tears that I've got to shed. A few more burdens I've got to bear. I've got a mother there, a father there, and I'm just trying to make it in. Just trying to make it in. So I'm pressing on, I'm pressing. Hey, now your boy, you really used to sing. Yeah, okay, okay. Your boy really used to do that. Boy, you sound like a tenor. You a tenor, huh? You a tenor? When I was little, old Junior D. Cachet, I told you. Reverend Burns told my grandma. He told me right there in front of me. He said, Mary, I'll probably be dead and gone.

30:21Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. But that boy got a calling. Okay. I said, well, you know, I figured football might call it, but okay, I would take your word. Okay, okay. I like it. I like it. But, you know, they call your boy down there. They call your boy down there and let me do a little something. A little something? Okay. Pray or pray? Now, you're born pray now. Oh, you can pray?

So, you know, ain't nothing to it. Matter of fact, you know what's so funny? I forgot to tell you about this. Boy, my grandma took me to see the mighty clouds of joy. Okay, boy, look here. My grandma took me to see the mighty clouds of joy and they brought me on stage to sing. That's how good I was. I was a phenom. I sung with the mighty clouds of joy and the canned spirituals back in 83.

32:31Shannon Sharpe:My sister says my grandmother passes religiously in church. revival going to different churches when they have revival Bible study

32:47I gotta get

32:48Shannon Sharpe:I gotta get my act together with y 'all you good

32:55one step at a time that's all you do but what you can't do is you can't lose what makes you you Oh, no, no, no, no. God created you to be you, you know? Probably, Ochoa, I might have to do, I mean, I might have to do a gospel podcast, you know,

33:14Shannon Sharpe:and have to let you turn this over to somebody else. Nah, nah, we ain't doing that. We ain't doing that. Well, we definitely ain't doing that because that's not our calling. Now, you heard what your pastor said. He got a calling. Now, one of the callers was football. The other calling was this, okay? Now we have a great thing going on but what you can't do is you can't lose sight of who you are. Yeah, you can't do that. Matter of fact, I just it just dawned on me. What? Hey, chat, y 'all can hear me sing. Where? I just thought about this. If you listen to this song, right? Me in the Florida Mass Choir I was a lead vocalist in the Storm Cloud Rising.

39:09I'm going to take your word for it Ocho yes sir yes sir

39:15Shannon Sharpe:Giannis was asked about the 65 game rule for regular season awards he said I'll be honest with you through 13 years of being in the league I think I play 65 games every year I'm still going to try I think I'm still going to try play 65 games but it's hard if you really want to be a good player to help your team get deep into the playoffs then you come back at the end and you play 65 games again. I've been in the NBA. I've been in all NBA the last nine years in a row, seven times first team. It's hard to be consistent. Just putting that rule there. It doesn't give you a break. The margin of error is hard.

39:49Shannon Sharpe:It's like if you get one injury, you're off the race. I might, I might make it. Jokic might not make it. LeBron not going to make it. Wembees might not make it. It's all because, is it all because, is it all for because it could benefit me at first but as I get older I'm like take it off take it off but these are rules you just got to play by the rules what's going to be available just shave so it's up in the air no y 'all just let me tell you what happened they got tired of all the superstars load managing you guys were just arbitrarily willy-nilly just sitting out you didn't care if it was a televised game on TNT you didn't care if it was a televised game on ESPN or ABC so they say you know what you're not going to be first team all NBA.

40:32Shannon Sharpe:You can't get defensive player of the year. You can't get MVP. And it's unfortunate. It is very, very unfortunate because Nikola Jokic was at the top of the MVP ladder. He has a serious injury. But like you said, you guys will say, well, I got a knee injury. I got a foot injury. I got back or I just need rest. So sometimes the hair got to go at the high. some rules and I understand why rules were put into place but sometimes rules harm good people because the people have tried to skirt the system for such a long time it's just like anything public housing assistance because so many people have skirted the system people that really need it have a harder time than getting to the people that don't Mm-hmm.

41:27So, I'm sorry, Giannis.

41:29Shannon Sharpe:I do understand what you're saying. Ocho, here's a stat. Here's a story for you. The NBA has suspended Dennis Schroeder three games for confronting and attempting to strike Luka Doncic after the Kings lost to the Lakers in Los Angeles on December 28th. Doncic and Schroeder jawed at each other during the various points of the Kings' 125-101 loss. During a timeout, Luka taught to Schroeder, telling him, should have signed that contract in reference to the four-year,$82 million extension. He declined from the Lakers. Things appeared to be cool off as the game ended. But Schroeder left the visitors' locker room at the Crypto Arena, spotted Luka and Temples flares, again, inside the tunnel across from the home bench.

42:13Shannon Sharpe:Forty minutes after the buzzer, Schroeder went, telling Luka he can't just call him a B-I-T-C-H on the court and pretend everything is fine. The NBA concluded that Schroeder attempted to strike Luka. And boy, it took that thing kind of far. And I think they probably knew it. And people didn't let you call him Luka. And that's what I keep telling people. People like, oh, they're all just words. I don't know where y 'all think y 'all come from. But you can't call people that. And they think everything going to be cool. Where can you go? and just call somebody that and say oh yeah i was playing huh nah you you can't do that and obviously shooter took offense to that hell if if you if you don't shower then put your clothes on and you still mad dude that they that might that might damn near be personal now well you don't call you call me that yeah just because i don't put it that's why i'm shouting put my clothes on that don't mean i even i forgot what you said yeah but shit if you if you still mad about that just about i mean i'm sure you know you get called named during the game you know how them boys talk on the court huh you know how that yeah but i think when you start calling somebody that b-i-t-c-h man you got to be careful ocho yeah you right you're right i mean in liberty city could you call somebody gay that wasn't gay nah not nothing fighting words and you know the one word down here the one word down here on like no matter what if you say it like you got to fight you talk about somebody mama or you call them oh yeah for sure you call them you call somebody a fuck nigga um you you you got you got the rock you ain't got no choice it is what it is you you got you got you got to go you got to go we got to go we got to go one-on-one yeah because we hey oh you oh that's what i am okay let's do it yeah you got to right down let me see if you can beat this b-i-t-c-h oh that's what I ate bro I'm telling you man you just yeah y 'all just can't you just can't arbitrarily trash talk I understand trash talking I get it I was pretty good at it yeah one of the best if you ask me but I ain't calling nobody out there I ain't calling nobody no B-I-T-C-H right cause hey you definitely wasn't talking about nobody mama when i grow up that'll get you and i told you but i got slapped for saying somebody mama yeah it's still and i wasn't talking about her but i know her and the girl with sisters i say your mama bye i said i said her mama she say boo we got the same damn mama it's okay learn my lesson yeah yeah damn damn sure and then you know that's because I remember the game and he was going back and forth and I intruded like, okay, say it.

45:04Shannon Sharpe:Say it when we get done. You know what's funny? That's the wrong person to be trying to hit two anyway. You finna hit the face of, well, is he the face of the league yet? No? Maybe? I don't even know. LeBron and Steph still there. Okay. Well, still, Luka's a prominent figure in the NBA. That's not really someone you want to choose to fight.

45:24Shannon Sharpe:I don't think Luka's trying to bump like that anyway, so. To be honest with you. All right, it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A. I'm so excited for the game tomorrow. I am too. We got three of them. Hey, we sure do. Dutchie from down the way. Oh, Ocho, can you boys wish my lady Andrea a happy 36th birthday? The Bills will lose, but covers will be shook tonight. But covers will be shook tonight. That's going to be a good game, man. Absolutely. hey Dutchie thanks for the support man hey Andrea happy 36th birthday hopefully you guys when I got you a great dinner get to a didn't eat too much cause uh Dutchie said the cover's gonna get shook he said cover's gonna get shook and it's already can't get shook the cover's before dark it's already dark on that side of town probably so it's dark everywhere but yes thank you man Dutch appreciate the support happy birthday Andrea happy 36th birthday and enjoy Hellbell OG loveliness that dude if I'm the Packers wide receiver I'm holding my head up for what bro we lost ain't nothing to hold a head up about man ain't no oh we got a promising future I don't care nothing about that man

47:04Shannon Sharpe:I just wish more people invested in something anything I don't care what it is and then have it taken away from them then you'll get an understanding of what it's like when an athlete lose because all that training all that film study all that meeting

47:28it's over

47:30Shannon Sharpe:done finished kaput the more you work at something the more you invested in something the more you pour your heart on blood sweat and tears time energy and effort the more it hurt when it ends it just does it just does and if it doesn't hurt you probably didn't put enough into it. Ask anybody that several lost something. Meaningful. Ask Brady how did losing that undefeated season. Ask him how did it feel losing to Philly.

48:14Shannon Sharpe:Unculture J, Ocho looking like unlockable Def Jam icon character. Chris Guadalupe forget Daniels remember folks said Bears should keep Fields over Caleb I said that was never going to happen I said they had already let one number one pick go and you think they was going to pass that guy? Absolutely not Daniel Hayes, Caleb is clutch put some respect on that man's name the Bears going to be a tough out they are they got to take They got, hey, and guess what, Ocho? They got another home game. Yeah. Mm-hmm. TS Card-wise, detailed service. Two great games, Chad. This is going to be a great playoffs.

48:59Shannon Sharpe:Thoughts on Ja to the Timberwolves?

49:04I mean, he's, him and Ant?

49:09Shannon Sharpe:I would need, I would like, if you tell me a more traditional point guard. Right. A guy that said pass first. Even though these point guards, they're not past first point guards. Luka's not a past first point guard. Can he pass? Absolutely. He averages eight assists over eight assists a game. But most of these guys are two guards masquerading as points. Right.

49:36Shannon Sharpe:I don't know if I love that giant ant. It's Maddie. Who do you think feels worse, Loop or McManus? If I'm McManus, I'm finding a Greyhound bus because Coach ain't letting me ride back with the team. Yeah, they probably took the buses. No, I'm pretty sure they flew. I mean, it's only an hour and a half, but they probably flew. Who feels loop, loop, loop, loop? Who did loop play for? Oh, against the Ravens.

50:16Shannon Sharpe:it's like which is heavy a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers they weigh the same i think the hurt is equal steel heads i didn't even turn the game on until it was 21 6. these games don't start till late third quarter big td the one hey oh you got room in your garage for mclaren because i know where i can get where one at let me know if you need that yeah i got room for it if i ain't got room my bedroom if you need it uncle i'll let you borrow it now ain't no thing i saw noah bears jm cook we just needed the right coach now what do you think about matt lafleur i will uh what do you think matt lafleur will keep his job yeah it ain't finna fire the floor no no

51:07Year seven, playoffs every season damn near. He ain't going to do it.

51:11Shannon Sharpe:Doc Bar, what's y 'all opinion on if Bryce earned a long-term contract with the way he's played this year? I think so. Yeah. Because I don't think they're going to find a better quarterback. Ain't no better quarterback coming out in the draft. There's no guys that are backups that's better than Bryce Young. Yep. He's in the right situation. He's in the right place. I mentioned that early in the show. It is what it is.

51:39Shannon Sharpe:Derek Krushank, Ocho, I'll pay for your tech guy in 2026. My guy. Woo. You know what? Pat Dubs, Ocho, y 'all be preaching all year. DBs don't let receivers cross your face. Coker did just that to Bryant when he ran the dagger for 52. Yeah. the linebacker just let Zaccheaus. Bro, why you let the man cross your face? Where you going? Yeah. He's dropping to an area and here's a guy coming across his face. You don't want to...

52:20Shannon Sharpe:Antoine Boulden, yo, these cheese graters, it's crazy. I guess that's the new thing now. They got the cheese grater hats on, you know, the Packers got the cheese head, the Bears fans be wearing cheese graters. Amaz OG, Eli, how do you know breaking down a corner and how do you relay that to your teammates? Elijah, how do you know? Well, obviously you do ask, okay, how's he playing you? Playing inside, he playing outside, he playing head up. Is he playing off? Is he jumping routes or is he selling? I mean, is he cluing? Yeah, you pass information because especially if the guy doesn't travel, If he travel, I can't give you any information because he's staying with me the whole game.

53:03Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But if he doesn't travel, yeah, you relay information, let him know how the corner's playing. Mm-hmm. And most of the time... Tyler Hamilton. Can't even believe I using the damn natty after beating the ass every year from 2017 to 2024 at Purdue. Congrats to them. I'm going to check out the country in Indy. Yeah. Fast turnaround. You can turn this thing around in the mail in no time now.

54:48Shannon Sharpe:13 for Buck 53, I think, and a touchdown. And then had a big catch against Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship game. And then the 96-yarder that we had against the Raiders in the Championship game. That slant, that slant? Yep. Yeah. Yep. You see how your boy picked the thing up, Ocho? Yeah, you were gone, man. You were gone. I should have hit him with the... With the P sign? Yeah. The real Kato, Commanders fan here. Pickens deserve all pro. He was amazing this season. Absolutely. And when you get Ochoa and I to agree on something, you might as well just etching in stone. Shakur85, which players need a fresh air this offseason?

55:40Shannon Sharpe:Also, what about Flores to the Ravens and McDaniel as OC and Pickens to Buffalo? Man, you put Pickens with Josh Allen? Now, I don't know if you heard, Ocho, but did you hear how glowing Lamar talked about Clint Kubiak in Seattle? Yeah. He likes the way he attacks every vertical, horizontal, every area of the field, gets all these guys involved. That's very exciting. Yeah. I'm just saying. That's what he said. They quoted him. Jaquan Everett, Derrick Brown gets no respect. Can't be about the play. Yeah, you're right, it's not. I think because of defensive tackles now, Ocho, because it used to be guys get one or two sacks and they could get it.

56:39Shannon Sharpe:Man, what do you call them, ruin that? Aaron Donald and Sapp, them guys ruin that. Chris Jones. Guys getting 8, 9, 10, 15, 20 sacks. Now, two sacks and playing the run good ain't going to cut it. No, it's not. Eric Jordan, Scott, Uncle Nocho. I know y 'all would agree with me. One, 2009 Bama, 2020 Bama, over both 2019 LSU and Indiana. 2009 Bama was a monster. 2020 with Sertan and Devontae Smith, Will Anderson Jr., Barmore. Oh, they were loaded now. Yeah.

57:25Shannon Sharpe:It'll be very interesting to see. I would pick 2020 Bama over Indiana, but I don't know about that in 2019 LSU with Joe Burrow and all those guys. Yeah, that was different. I mean, you might have to go get Miami 2001 team with all those guys with Ed Reed and Antrell Roll and all them. Sean Taylor. Vilma, yeah, yeah, Vilma and DJ Williams and Vince Wilfuck and all those guys, man. That 2019 LSU team was different, huh? Steeler, Pat 86. Florio didn't vote Troy Palamalu for Hall of Fame, said he knew he was getting in so he voted for someone else. Stuff like that with the voters BS. They should lose their right to vote.

58:18Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Just don't say anything about it that if you didn't vote for Troy Palomaro man. Comic book nerd. Great game. Love y 'all brothers. Bear down. Bears look good. They got another home game. Win that game. Who knows you might get a home game for us. NFC Championship. Glenn Bonner. That leading was the head was BS. Looked like dude hit him with his forearms, hit the other dude in the chest. What y 'all thinking? Was it a soft call or a good call? I'm assuming he's talking about the Rams game. I thought the guy hit Devontae under the chin. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought the Rams guy hit him in his chest.

59:02Shannon Sharpe:Could be wrong, but hey.

59:07And the rules this game, I feel sorry for defenders. They can't even play football.

59:14Shannon Sharpe:They can't. It's hard. It's hard. Marvin Collier. What's up, Hunkin' Ocho? It's Marvin from Charleston, South Carolina. It's my 28th birthday. Can I please get a shout out? Absolutely. Happy 28th birthday, Charleston. Happy 28th. Low country. St. George. Appreciate you guys, man. Great. We had a great time when we came down there. Look forward to getting back down there and seeing you guys soon. But Marvin, happy 28th birthday, man. Enjoy. Jam, 83-94. Yo, my uncle said he played at Savannah State with you. He was the right tackle. They said y 'all used to call him Big Dixon.

1:00:00My, I guess he said.

1:00:04Shannon Sharpe:I do know a guy named Mayan, but Mayan didn't play football with us. I think that's what he's trying to say. I got to ask Bucket. Right tackle. Right tackle.

Chicago Bears come from behind and they beat from down 21-3 to beat the Green Bay Packers by the score of 31-27. And the Rams, thanks to Matthew Stafford, 24-42, 3-0-4, three touchdowns, one interception.
