Key claims

- Saquon Barkley’s down year is partly tied to Philadelphia’s offensive line injuries and defensive strength; Barkley is still a threat.
- Lamar Jackson is judged unfairly only if you ignore that multi-MVP QBs are held to a higher standard; Peyton Manning is cited as an example of harsher past criticism.
- Desmond Williams Jr. reneged on a $4M Washington contract; Washington plans legal action.
Notable examples
- Harbaugh vs Mike McCarthy coaching records and Super Bowl counts.
- Peyton Manning criticism after MVPs; Lamar compared to Brady/Rodgers/Montana.
- Isaiah Thomas feud reports: freezing Jordan out in an All-Star game; Dream Team dispute.

3:07Shannon Sharpe:American social casino. John Harbaugh instantly became the hottest candidate, head coach in Canada in the NFL hiring cycle. Two teams with the biggest speculation for harm services are the Giants and the Dolphins. The Guppies are in the process of interviewing the GM finalist, Chad Alexander, who's very close with Harbaugh. Alexander is now assistant GM to the Chargers, spent 20 years with the Ravens, overlapping Harbaugh for much of that time span. The Giants, the Dolphins, the Titans, Falcons, Browns, Raiders, Cards, all have head coaching openings in addition to the Ravens. Ocho, what do you think Harbaugh is looking for?
3:48Shannon Sharpe:anything else he had just signed an extension in March that would probably pay him $13-14 million a year if he's going somewhere else the decision making honestly he's going somewhere where there's a quarterback as long as his tenure was with Baltimore he's not going somewhere else where he can last more than three years if you go somewhere where there ain't no quarterback you're going to be in purgatory Yep. You're going to be in hell. Well, he know what it was like to have no quarterback because after Flacco won that Super Bowl, he know what those seasons were until they got Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson, yeah.
4:25He don't want to go through that. He don't want to go through that, and at least he's going to be short. Even though he's a Super Bowl-winning head coach, at least he's going to be short because the expectations are going to be high as hell because he's a new coach.
4:37Shannon Sharpe:Yes. I think the best thing for him, obviously, if he has the opportunity to go to the Giants, I think that'd be the best place for him. that's just me
4:51I mean
4:52Shannon Sharpe:he could be like a situation like Mike McCarthy Mike McCarthy spent no years at Green Bay he goes to Dallas didn't win anything they won a bunch of games because he had a quarterback he was solidified in that position right
5:07Shannon Sharpe:you gotta be strong in that position all that other stuff I get it all the bells and whistles wide receivers and running backs If you ain't got that. It ain't going to work. It ain't going to work. Ain't nothing happening. Ain't nothing popping up. Ain't no sense that I ain't finna hold you. You got to have the quarterback position. Yeah. It is the most important position in sports. Nothing is more important than that. Nothing. So, wish him the best. Me, I think the Giants, because of all the teams that we're looking at, I think their quarterback situation is the most stable. Everybody else has influx.
5:50Shannon Sharpe:We're not, well, excuse me, the Titans, they're stable. Yeah. But I don't think. Do they have enough pieces offensively though? Right, right, right. Look, they got Pollard. Pollard has four straight 1 ,000-yard seasons. Yeah. They got some solid pieces. Maybe they can use some offensive line help. Defense is okay, not great. The Giants. Yes. But you look at the Giants. I think the Giants defense underperformed. Dexter Lawrence had nine sacks last year. He had a half a sack this year. Yeah. Bro, you making$22,$23 million. You can't have a half a sack making that kind of money. Abdul Carter came on strong towards the end of the season.
6:31Shannon Sharpe:He matured. He grew up. There's expectations on you, young man. They took you with the third pick in the draft. You can't come late to meetings. You can't be asleep. You can't be bull jiving around. This is a business, son. This is a business. and I was excited to see the way he improved, say, the last month of the season.
6:54Falcons are loaded. Big time.
6:58Shannon Sharpe:But there's uncertainty at that one position, which is the most important position. Because they got everything else on Joe. You look at them, they got everything else on Joe. Look at that defense. Yep. Look at that running back. Yeah. Look at the tight end. Look at the receivers. You could have had a piece of offensive line. Probably going to need to get a... Gonzalez did okay at kicking. Yeah. Hey, so Kirk is back next year. They redid his deal. Right.
7:32They ain't really got no security outside of Kirk. No. They don't.
7:42Shannon Sharpe:they don't like I said I mean 3-8 Ocho how old is Penny's 25 or 26 and 3 ACLs Ocho oh he had 3 I thought it was 2 he had 2 before he got to college I mean didn't he have 2 before he got to the NFL yeah and he messed his shoulder up cause remember he was at Indiana Ocho yeah he was at Indiana first then he went to UW? UW. I like Clint Kubiak, too. Obviously, I've been knowing Clint since he was a kid. A kid kid. For real kid. Right, right, right, right. I played with his dad. His dad was my offensive coordinator. You see the job that he's doing in Seattle.
8:36Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, better coach. John Harbaugh, Mike McCarthy. 620 winning percentage. 619. Seasons as a head coach. 16. Mike McCarthy. 17. Playoffs. 12-10. Harbaugh. 11-11. McCarthy. Division titles. 5. Harbaugh. McCarthy. 7. Super Bowls. 1. Super Bowl. 1. That's about right down the fence. huh? That's about even ain't it? That's one of those situations oh shoot excuse me that's one of them situations you can't go wrong depending on who you pick McCarthy calls plays Harbaugh is mainly an overseer Harbaugh was a special teams coach under Andy Reid impressed Steve got the job at Baltimore think he's done an unbelievable job and I still believe he's an unbelievable coach I just needed to believe I just needed, he needed new people to hear his voice.
9:40Shannon Sharpe:And the Ravens players needed a new voice to hear. I believe he's a phenomenal coach. And I believe he will get another job. And I think he'll do great, given you get a quarterback. You ain't going to do great if you don't get a quarterback. But. That's it.
10:01Shannon Sharpe:Well, your hard work was at 18 years.
10:07How long was McCarthy in Green Bay? I was just getting ready to ask you how long he was there.
10:11Shannon Sharpe:What are you, like 13? 14?
10:20Shannon Sharpe:So he's 18. So it's 18 and 18. 18, you got 16. 18 and 18. Huh? Oh, it's 18 and 18. Both guys were 18. It's 18 and 18.
10:40Shannon Sharpe:So Ocho, you see? Overall draft position of quarterbacks in the playoffs. Four first-rounders, a second-rounder, three-thirds, a sixth, a seventh, 12th, 24th, 26th, 53rd, 62th. Trevor Lawrence, Matthew Stafford, Bryce Young. so I'm trying to think who the hell the other number one overall pick
11:13not big no
11:15Shannon Sharpe:bigger than make it oh Caleb Williams oh and you got second CJ Stroud you got third Sam Darnold
11:32Shannon Sharpe:Bo Nix I think Bo Nix was what 12th?
11:39Shannon Sharpe:That sounds about right. Aaron Rodgers was 24th. Jordan Love was 26th. I'm going Jalen Hurts, 53rd. I'm going Brock Purdy, 262. How did I do?
12:01that's right that was easy
12:05Shannon Sharpe:Jayla Hurts
12:09Shannon Sharpe:53rd you like that I think Aaron Rodgers was 24th Jordan Love was 26th Bo Nix was 12th the number ones are easy CJ Stride was 2 Sam Darnold was 3 hell I don't I'm trying to figure out who I was in the who I was in the playoffs now Josh Allen Josh Allen was seventh yeah
12:41Shannon Sharpe:Drake yeah Drake May Drake May was third he's the other third him and Sam Donald was third
12:50so you see what
12:51Shannon Sharpe:you see what you need yeah You got 12 first rounders, a second rounder, and a Mr. Irrelevant.
13:03Shannon Sharpe:But look at the defenses. Very good.
13:11Shannon Sharpe:Robert Sala was asked, why have his defenses had more success against Saquon Barkley this year compared to previous seasons? I'm going to skip that question from a schematic standpoint. I still think he's elite. I know his production isn't what it was a year ago, but he's still a damn good football player. He's still a threat to break it anytime he touches the ball. Jeff Southland is one of the best O-line coaches in all of football in creating good angles and creating space for the back. They can still run the ball as good as anybody. He had a down year. Yeah. I mean, listen, some of the O-line was hurt this year.
13:49Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. No Lane Johnson. No Lane. Your center was banged up. Juergens. Makai's gone. Makai Beckton. Dickerson. I mean. Landon Dixon. It's Dickerson, right? Landon Dickerson. He's been banged up all year. Remember, he had surgery right before the season. The season started. I mean, that quad ain't firing like it's supposed to be, so he's putting more pressure on the other leg, and he keeps bringing it, hurting his ankles and stuff like that. Might allow to play well. Lane Johnson was looking like Lane Johnson until he had the lead frame. So the offensive line is not as dominant as it was. You saw that in Saquon's play.
14:33Yeah.
Read the full transcript
14:35Shannon Sharpe:But the defense is elite. Very good. You still got a damn good quarterback. And if you don't put him away early, he'll find a way to either beat you with a touchdown, excuse me, or get a field goal range and the kicker kicked the field goal.
14:54season season oh everybody 0-0 now you got one game one game to make it happen now which Philadelphia Eagles gonna show up I know the defense gonna show up what offense are we gonna get from the Philadelphia Eagles Lane Johnson is back now is he? yeah for the playoffs
15:15Shannon Sharpe:and the thing is Ocho you know the 49ers struggle to get pressure yeah I mean hell no bolsa no fred you got two or two of the better players in the nfl on defense not playing excuse me oh shoot my bad

No, I think the season's kind of gone the way it has. The approach this year is how the games have been called and what our coordinator, KP, has just kind of gone that way. And so I've kind of taken it in stride and tried to give my best with what position, whatever position I've been put in. I just run what they call yeah that's it if they call for me to run I run if they call for me to throw I throw I don't know what y 'all want me to say y 'all know it's his fault

20:06Shannon Sharpe:actually he gonna give you exactly what you don't wanna hear hey every time but yeah that's how you stay quarterback that's how you stay in the position that you're in yeah you don't ruffle any feathers you don't say anything inflammatory and uh you you let people deduce whatever they wanted to do right but at the end of the day just know i ain't say that that's what you took that's what you took from what i said right right i said they call a running play for me, I run it. They call a pass play, I try to make the best decision I can and live with the decision. But y 'all know, he caught some bulljye this year.
20:50Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all saw it. I ain't saying nothing, though. Ain't none of my business. They play me the quarterback. Now, if they want to add an extra$10 million, I call my own play. but
21:02hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah.

26:50yeah yeah yeah i i i gotta take i gotta take it to booby trap too and i gotta take the booby trap i gotta take it to tussies because you got a tussies they got the seafood rice and lobster tail you gotta you gotta try the food you gotta try the food the food is five star and you can use peripheral vision while you eat yeah yeah you know magic you know it's like magic city go for the wings stay for the signs you know that was that i'm just i'm down that's what i heard i only been twice only twice oh absolutely absolutely it's the place to be hey i feel good now hey i had to throw up man i figured that i feel a little better now but hey i got a little headache i need some Tylenol but you drink some water it's right here that ain't working yeah drink it just keep running you just gotta stay hydrated uh look jalen hurts you get judged to a different standard now because
27:53Shannon Sharpe:you're a super bowl winning quarterback you're look that second round pick don't nobody care nothing about that because Joe Montana was a third round pick and once he won a Super Bowl once you win an MVP you're judged to a different standard you don't get the same stat you don't get judged by the same second round grade you're a Super Bowl winning MB Super Bowl MVP winning quarterback and that's what people like I try to get people to understand well y 'all don't judge Joe Burrow like you judge Lamar Joe Burrow ain't got no championships ain't won no suit ain't won no MVPs. When they compared Lamar, they said Lamar was the only two-time winning MVP quarterback that's never played in a Super Bowl.
28:37Shannon Sharpe:Now, his career is not over, but they're just saying right now. There ain't a whole lot of quarterbacks that's won two MVPs. So he gets judged against Tom Brady. He gets judged against an Aaron Rodgers. He gets judged against a Peyton Manning. He gets judged against a Steve Young. He gets judged against a Joe Montana. That's who he gets judged against. You can't judge him against a Josh Allen. Josh has one MVP. He gets judged against John Elway. He gets judged against Dan Marino. Right. So that's who you got to, that's who you, that's what they're judging Lamar. Look, I think Lamar's going to play another 10 years.
29:27Shannon Sharpe:So he has time to get to and win a Super Bowl. But you can't say, well, you don't judge him like you judge Josh Allen, or you don't judge him like you do Joe Burrow. You shouldn't. Joe Burrow ain't got no MVPs. Lamar got two. Josh Allen has one. But the guys that have two MVPs, that's how you judge. Guys, I don't know if y 'all remember. Because I know y 'all, like, this Internet age, Ocho, what are they, Gen Z? They're like, if it didn't happen today, if we didn't see it, it didn't happen. It didn't happen at all. But y 'all don't remember, people eviscerated Peyton Manning for winning those MVPs and not getting to the Super Bowl.
30:14Shannon Sharpe:His even-owned teammate, his kicker, criticized him. Oh, Vandy Jack? Yes. But people forget that. People make it seem like Lamar Jackson has faced the harshest criticism. He has not. I'll give you another example. I played with a guy, and I heard what was being said about him. He took a team to three Super Bowls, got crushed, probably had no business being there to begin with. They killed him. They killed him. So this notion that Lamar Jackson is somehow receiving unfair criticism is just not true. because, boy, we eviscerated Peyton. And if you're old enough to remember, you remember. When he got blanked 41-0 by the Jets.
30:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I remember that. When he got beat at home, Phillip Rivers ended up getting hurt, and Billy Volant came in and beat him. But it comes with the territory, huh? Especially when you're great. Especially when you're good at your position. It comes with the territory. After you win MVPs, hold on. Once you win multiple, I mean, you judge differently. I think Lamar understands that. I think the people, obviously, that are fans of the Ravens, that are fans of Lamar, they don't understand it. No, they don't. You're held at a different standard. You're held at a different standard. You just are because you're great.
31:36Shannon Sharpe:I can't judge him against a normal quarterback. I got to judge him against quarterbacks that's won multiple MVPs. That's only fair.
31:49Shannon Sharpe:He's a senior. Why am I judging him against a freshman? Right. He's taking advanced calculus, trigonometry. He's taking AP courses. Yeah. And you want me to judge him? You want me to judge him against a guy that's a freshman? We can't do that. But Lamar has to. The thing is, Lamar is not 38, 39. Lamar is not even 30. He has a long time to write. he's still writing. He probably just don't... I don't know how long his book is, but he probably ain't even into the middle of it yet, Ocho. Not even close. He got a long way to go. He got a long way to go. Barring injury, making sure he has no more setbacks, he has a very long way to go.
32:40Shannon Sharpe:So, Jalen Hurts gives an opportunity. We'll find out. The 49ers
32:50Shannon Sharpe:they get Pierce all back I think Big Trent will be back that'll definitely help
32:59Shannon Sharpe:but they're gonna have to be good in the red zone they can't kick field goals got to score points got to

Thursday night, February the 5th at the Earps Theater in San Francisco. Go. Former Washington Huskies quarterback Desmond Williams Jr. has been dropped by his agent Doug Hendrickson after he reneged on his contract with the Husky. Ocho Williams announced Tuesday he would enter a portal after signing a $4 million contract to return to the Huskies for the 2026 season, according to ESPN Pete Famel. Hendrickson said, I've made the decision to end my representation of Desmond Williams Jr.
36:01Shannon Sharpe:Effectively, immediately, due to philosophical differences. Sources told Thamel that Washington is prepared to pursue all legal avenues to enforce Williams' contract. Williams, a sophomore, threw for 3 ,065 yards with 25 touchdowns, 8 interceptions. He also rushed for 611 yards and six scores, earning all Big Ten honorable mention. Ocho, the kid had a decent season, nothing out of this world. He signed the contract for$4 million and then tried to renege. What's going on, Ocho? What am I missing? Hold on. Where is he trying to go? He's trying to go somewhere else? I'm assuming someone else offered him a little bit more money.
36:43Someone else offered him a little bit more money? I mean, is there a way, if he signed the contract already, right, and as you receive money i think if you receive money how about you give the money back that was given to you and then going about your and then going about your way i think that's the only reason that's the only reason i can think of why you dub would seek legal action because we've already paid you oh we paid him some yeah we've got whatever the whole thing yes give give us some back or give whatever they're giving you back you know and then let wherever it is that's whoever you talking to behind closed doors that's going to pay you more i'm assuming that would be the only reason to hit the portal because you know so you're talking to someone else that can pay you
37:24Shannon Sharpe:more than four million i don't know you had you had with you well but oh that's the thing though see you can't take these people money and then and then try to go somewhere else it's a contract that's the contract they used to not be written contracts a contract is a meeting of the mind Shake a hand, yeah. That's what a contract was. It was a meeting of the mind. Right. But you know what? There was a lot of people. There were a lot of Desmond Williams, Jr. that started backing out and started doing things. And it's like, you know what? Let's put this thing on this eight by two. Yes, sir. Let's get this eight.
38:00Shannon Sharpe:Here are the parameters. Right. This is what we're going to do. This is how we're going to do it. Yeah. Like I said, I wish the young man all the best. But this doesn't look good to me. This looks terrible. Yeah, they got they got to get that together. They got this kid that's trying to go to LSU. Oh That's that's where he tried to sneak to not sneak but that's where he's trying to go
38:29Who is he talking to he got to be talking to somebody else ain't nobody just walking away from four million dollars
38:39Shannon Sharpe:Okay
38:47bro
38:51Shannon Sharpe:well yeah i mean why would you go there bro you got four million dollars they give you four million dollars unless lsu giving you four million dollars what are you talking about right
39:04they might be giving them more and also understanding lsu because i think the quarterback the quarterback from uh
39:12Shannon Sharpe:he just went to texas tech from cincinnati he got five for one year one yeah leave so is this for one year or this for multiple years it's a sophomore you're probably gonna get more than that
39:36Shannon Sharpe:I don't got no problem as long as you get the money back right I mean you coach has been doing it coach has been signing I'm going to stay here for five years six years and they leave after two so I ain't got no problem but you got to get that money back damn hey I'm just I'm 4 million for one year they're going to have to reel them boys in on they're going to have to reel them in I told you, but you said no. You said you like it. I mean, listen, I like the fact that they're able to make their money, but they can't be playing with these people like this. See, a situation like this, that ruins it, that ruins it for those.
40:15If you're going to commit, commit. Don't take no money. If you're really not sure you want to be there, don't take no goddamn money if you know you're going to hit the portal.
40:23Shannon Sharpe:Thank you. Weigh all your options first. There's a lot of people. Oh, you know, like you said, they got 3 ,300 people in the portal. yeah some of them gonna be in suspended animation gonna stay in the portal oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah I mean you think you had okay you had two tackles I've seen people had 13 tackles where you going with that what I don't know I guess there's a reason I mean somebody's in the air but somebody need to be honest with some of these kids yeah because some of these kids gonna be gonna be left holding the bag yeah you're right and there ain't nothing in it ain't 3 ,000 ain't no way in hell 3 ,300 positions opens Ocho ain't no way in hell there's 3 ,300 college I understand there's 110 115
41:14schools
41:14Shannon Sharpe:D1 schools ain't no way all those positions open ain't no damn way everybody can't be a dog it ain't 3 ,000 dogs in that god damn it it ain't 3 ,000 dogs in that portal right definitely ain't it ain't demand william jr my bad i said desmond demand demand demand williams jr demand a bra i hope i hope you got something up your sleeve that we don't know about listen and if in order for him to be doing it he got to know the play already because you don't pull a move like that unless it's set in stone well you remember the guy from chenna see he He pulled a move like that and didn't have anything. And he got less money.
41:56At UCLA.
41:57Shannon Sharpe:And he went to a state that had more taxes. More taxes. Yeah. He left Tennessee, a no state tax, to go to California, which is the highest state tax. Right.

45:57Shannon Sharpe:Yep, it's done. So we can all move on now. I know you guys are worried about it. But yeah, it's pretty just having a good time, I guess. I don't know how else to describe this. I did not think that was going to happen. But it was interesting. I have phones now, record everything. So there you go. You didn't think you were going to get squatted or you didn't think it was going to get sent? I didn't think it was going to get filmed. I mean, you know, I was going to get squatted.

I don't know if I'm trusting the woman to pick me up like that. Oh, we got some down here could pick you up now. You hit me? No, you sure? Yeah, we got some. We got some.
47:22Shannon Sharpe:I'm doing the one to pick it up. Okay. If you pick it up, what I'm putting down. Listen, I'm picking up. Listen, I'm here. I'm here with you saying, but hey, listen, we got a place right here. You know, you like to go to the gym, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got a place you and Jordan can go to. You lose your mind. What? I don't need to get distracted. Hold on. Hold on. Well, listen. Any gym you go to in Miami, you're going to be distracted. I can tell you that right now. But in the gym, right? It's a boxing gym and they have training, Pilates. They got everything you need. It's called Boxer. Boxer.
47:55You know? Interesting. Come on down here. You and Jordan, go out there and work out. You got two levels. every amenity you could think of is in there you hear me and i can i tell you one thing you'll come back you'll come back on here and you'll say you'll thank me later you'll thank you'll thank me later and i'm sure some people in the chat if anybody in the chat know about boxer boxer gym go ahead and tell them about it now i've been i've been there i've been there one time let me tell you something you know i've been to houston one time and i ain't been back huh yeah i've been to the gym one time you ain't been back ain't been back since well i don't

49:24Shannon Sharpe:Hey, don't get hit, y 'all. I'll poke my own stuff. But you have a little advice, bro. 2026, everything gonna be filmed. Everything been filmed for the last decade. So if you out in public, you being Trevor Lawrence is getting filmed. Oh yeah, absolutely. Isaiah Thomas is back being petty with his basketball nemesis, Michael Jordan, during an appearance on run it back thomas was asked about his thoughts on the goat debate this is what he had to say this is what i don't understand about your era you guys are playing with arguably the greatest player to ever play and excuse me when i say this but y 'all treat him like he's nothing instead of pumping up your era y 'all go back and say this era was the greatest you know michael jordan was the greatest nobody ever could be greater than michael jordan right okay and you Turn around, in your era, LeBron James is sitting there holding every single basketball record.
50:20Shannon Sharpe:I mean, every single one of them. And you're looking at Kevin Durant, and you're looking at Steph Curry. But then when y 'all talk about the greatest, y 'all talk about the guy that gave you some shoes. Hey, can you help me understand a little something? What is the beat between Isaiah Thomas and Michael Jordan? This feud has been going on for a very long time. I've seen it back and forth. I mean, I still don't understand what the beef is about. Reportedly, allegedly, Isaiah was the lead that froze Jordan out in his first All-Star game. That's what the reports were. Then, when the Bulls finally took down the Pistons, they rushed off the court.
51:07Shannon Sharpe:They didn't court. They didn't shake Jordan's hand. Okay. Jordan then in turn, it is reported, I think Sam Smith wrote in the book that Jordan agreed to be on the dream team as long as Isaiah wasn't on the team. Okay. Well, the biggest star in the world was Michael Jordan. You want him on the team. Right. Isaiah deserved to be on the team. Isaiah is a better point guard than John Stockton. So they've been going at it ever since. well that's that's petty and it doesn't seem it doesn't seem that it's ending anytime soon Isaiah said until he gives me an apology it ain't never gonna end well you know I don't I don't think Mike's gonna be one to apologize Mike probably apologize if the issue I just told I sure hope he ain't waiting on that well it's a apology hey it's a weird feud but it's one-sided though because i ain't heard mike say nothing i doubt my game say nothing not publicly right that's how he operates right well shoot isaiah just i don't know that that's that's funny that's funny man poor isaiah man he feeling left out because first of all ocho you got to remember they boycotted in 80 so he missed an opportunity there to go to the olympics the u.s boycotted the Olympics was in Moscow but due to the occupation of the USSR in Afghanistan President Carter would not send our Olympic team the Soviet Union did us a solid they returned the favor in 84 when it was in LA
52:59Shannon Sharpe:and they won like a thousand medals go back and look it up nobody's won as many medals as they did when it was in Russia. Right. Because obviously we weren't there. And there's some other team. But nobody's ever won that many medals like they won. They won damn near everything. It wasn't close. Yes. But that was when, you know, that was when they had a little, you know, had a little system going on. Right, right, right, right, right. I know you're talking about it. And that was when they had everything up under that umbrella. They had Belarus. You see how big Russia is? All those countries. That was before the fall in 88 of communism.
53:40Shannon Sharpe:So you can understand that Georgia and Armenia and all of them was up under one umbrella. How you compete with that? But anyway, yeah, Ocho, Zeke ain't going to let it go. I've had Zeke on the show. I talked to Zeke. I know Zeke. I like Zeke. He loves football. He can talk about any sports. He's very thoughtful. but that's the only thing that's missing on his resume is that Olympic, that dream team. And he knows he's supposed to have been on that team. But that doesn't take away from everything he's accomplished, huh? It doesn't. When they talk about, Ochoa, they talk about the dream. You got the redeem team one, you got redeem team two, but everything spurs off the dream team.
54:25Shannon Sharpe:He's not a part of that. He's a two-time champ. He's an NCAA champ. he's a most outstanding player in the NCAA in 81. They won the championship over the Tar Heels. Right. That was also the night, that was also that day, Ronald Reagan was almost assassinated by John Hinckley. I remember vividly. Al Wood, Perkins, James Worthy, they lost to Isaiah, I think Randy Whitman, Rolando Turner, because he ended up getting paralyzed I think in that March of April in a car accident. But, yeah, that's the only thing missing, Ocho. He feels like his resume would be complete. He's an NCAA champ, most outstanding player.
55:14Shannon Sharpe:He's a finals MVP. He's a two-time champ. He's an assist leader. He's an all-NBA. He's an all-star. so you think you think he would be at peace if he gets an apology from Jordan and that apology is not going to change anything especially at this point I guess he feels that man um has impugned his reputation I'm just saying I'm just saying I'm just saying right right tongue in cheek but I'm just saying it feels to me that's the way he feels right yeah I mean if I was him man, you know, it is what it is. I mean, what I've done, my legacy is cemented. All my accomplishments, my resume, it is what it is.
55:57Shannon Sharpe:All right, Ocho. Time to play a fade presented by PrizePix.
56:14Shannon Sharpe:Indiana-Oregon's game. Charlie Becker will have at least 46 receiving yards. More or less. Charlie Becker will be cooking. I'm going more. More, more, more.

Fernando Mendoza will have at least two TD passes. Moore. Moore. more. Kalon Black, more than.5 rush touchdowns. So if he just has one, that's more. I'm going to go more. Yeah, I'm sure. So I'm going more, less, more, more. So Charlie Becker will have at least 46 receiving yards.
57:14Shannon Sharpe:Dante Moore will have less than 223 passing yards. Fernando Mendoza will have at least two touchdown passes. And Kalon Black will have at least a touchdown. Those are my picks.

57:46Shannon Sharpe:Ochoa, did you know this? Men spend$15 ,000 a year on their girl while women spend less than$1 ,300. God dang Wait hold on hold on say that again A study says Men spends about$15 ,000 A year on girl women While the woman Spends about$1 ,300 on men On average men spend significantly More money on dates, gifts, travels Dining, shared experience over the course Of a relationship These costs often include meals, entertainment Transportation and holidays Which traditionally fall more heavily on a man especially early in the dating and long-term partnerships. Women, by contrast, tend to spend less overall on their partners, focusing more on personal experiences, shared household costs, rather than direct romantic spending.
58:38Shannon Sharpe:Researchers note that social expectations, dating norm, and income disparities contribute heavily to this imbalance, reinforcing longstanding patterns around who pays and how the relationships are financially constructed. I mean, listen, it has nothing to do with relationships either, because most of the time, these aren't even relationships. And$15 ,000 is pretty low, especially when it comes to some of the guys that leave with money and do some of the things that they do do in the beginning. You know, Chanel, purses, heels. Berkens now. Man, look here. Man, girl, slap you upside your head. You go show up with a Chanel.
59:15Yeah.

That one throw, it was tremendous anticipation. anticipation I'll get it right eventually. Ocho, when he ran that dig route? Oh yeah, that was nice. Yeah, man. Malachi ran the whip, the whole the goddamn middle backer? Yes. He threw it right behind his ear. Yep. That was a good one. Central Cass, Ocho, can I be your tech guy? Stop being cheap. I said I'd do it for free, but you don't even give me a chance to prove my worth.
1:02:28Shannon Sharpe:I have a tech person. I wish you came to me about two, three years ago. I could have got you for free. Shit, Jordan didn't come for free.

Before that, it was 2000. Yeah. I went to a college basketball game now. I'm trying to say. I went to the college basketball game. I watched Louisville beat Michigan in the national championship game because the game happened to be played in Phillips Arena. So I went. but man, college football, man. God, it's just too many people, Ocho. Too many. Nah, we're going to be at the same time. Dutch it from down the way. I got a joke for y 'all boys.
1:05:31Shannon Sharpe:Who's delusional and think they have rings to kiss? Bill's Mafia. Hey, Ocho, we're going to talk about this a little later, but hey, I don't know if it's going to get any better for Josh Allen than what he got it this year. Oh, yeah. This is it. This is it. No Mahone boy, his nemesis, who he's never beaten a postseason. Right.
1:05:56No your guy.

Because he's telling the story like, man, I was going to go to the military, but I flunked the test.
1:06:52Shannon Sharpe:I said, damn, Mike, you flunked the test? I said, they're looking for a few good men to die. I said, you couldn't even die. He said, man, go ahead on that. I ain't the only one. But, man, Mike, look, he, uh, Mike is amazing, man. Like I said, I just love hearing their stories. and everybody has a different story to tell. Some comes with a lot of sadness and they take that pain and they turn it into laughter. And I think he described it best. He's like his tears of a clown.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I can't even imagine what they would look like. And the way you can't touch receivers now with Kurt pulling the trigger, with Oz and Tori. Oh, man. That wouldn't be fair. CBSX Caliber. What's up, Mr. Sharp? Happy birthday, Ocho. I've been here since the beginning. I'm from North Carolina. Would love to volunteer at the Charlotte venue for nightcap. We'll keep that in mind, bro, when we head that way.
1:11:31Hey, what part are you from? Oh, you said Charlotte? I thought he was talking about Ralea.

1:13:29Shannon Sharpe:Oh, they do? Oh, okay. Monthly or biweekly, but you can spread it out. You can take it all in the six-month period that you play, or you can get it spread out over the year. Oh, I know that. Obviously, if, you know, you're not good with your money, it probably be best to spread it out. Spread it out, yeah. Lando, 56, a happy birthday, Ocho. Appreciate it. Thank God I'm black. Miami has a tradition, but they're on a Cinderella run. I hope this doesn't make the Raiders want to draft Beck. Ocho, need to go to the tent after chugging liquor like Kool-Aid. I'm good, I'm good. Shake Hollins. Uncle Ocho, love the show.
1:14:06Shannon Sharpe:My birthday was yesterday, 108. Can I please get a birthday shout-out? Much appreciated. Also, happy birthday, Ocho. Shake, happy birthday. Happy belated birthday, bro. Hopefully you had some fun, did something really fun with family, friends, and loved ones.

1:14:52Shannon Sharpe:Neo Reaper 82, the 10 worst team than the league, is who may play. He had one win against a winning team, and it was Buffalo Bills, which also lost, too. People really need to stop talking about the MVP talk. I think he's going to finish second in the MVP discussion. I think Matthew Stafford's going to win it. I do. I think Matthew Stafford's had an MVP season. It's the only thing that he doesn't have on his resume. He won a Super Bowl. and I think he's going to win the MVP. That's me personally. I don't have a vote. I used to, but I don't anymore. Terry Bullard said, hey, Ocho, meet me at Toosie tonight.
1:15:27Shannon Sharpe:It's on me. Hashtag nightcap. Boy, we out, boy. Boy, we out, boy. Killer can be. Oh, you don't want nothing from Toosies but the wings.
1:15:41Shannon Sharpe:Jay Breezy37, I got a question in that play on the goal line because why go man and leave a spy on Beck? I don't understand the play call. I mean, would you really put a spy on Beck when he's really not known as a dual threat quarterback? He's not, no. Nah, you know, dual threat. I didn't see if it was Josh Allen. That's a different story. Maybe if it's Trinidad Chambliss, I'd do that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not doing that with him. Nah. and like look they ran a stop route and then everybody started flowing because if you notice Betts started drifting to his right so now Tony goes to his right the other DB at the back of the end zone the wide receiver goes to his back so it pulls everybody that way and so once he breaks that line the DN bubbled on the outside he done bubbled all the way around so open lane Dr.
1:16:39Shannon Sharpe:Frank L. Bellamy happy birthday Ochoa if I could have any signed soccer jersey excuse me if you could have any signed soccer jersey which one would it be any signed soccer jersey oh oh oh that's a good one I didn't got all my signs so far

Two-legged? What'd that mean? Huh? Two-legged hunting. What'd that mean, huh? Don't worry about it. When you wake up in the morning, it's like, when he said two-legged hunting, you'll realize what I meant.
1:18:12Okay, okay, okay, okay.
1:18:14Shannon Sharpe:Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap. As you watch the Miami Hurricanes advance to the national championship game thanks to a 31-27 victory over Ole Miss. As Ole Miss threw a Hail Mary in the end zone, there was some touching and grabbing, but no penalty was called, and they advanced 31-27. Carson Beck's four-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds was the difference in the ball game as the U advances. And they play in Miami for the national championship game. That stadium is going to be rocking. Carson Beck was 23 of 37, 268, two touchdowns, one interception. Mark Fletcher Jr., 22 carries, 133 yards.
1:19:03Shannon Sharpe:Trinidad Chambers did not play bad, 23 attempts, 37 yards, 23 attempts, 23 completions, 37 attempts, 277 yards, one touchdown. Kiwan Lacy had 11 carries for a buckle three. They didn't have the ball a whole lot, but they did a lot with what they did have. When they did not win tonight, Miami advances to the national championship game.
