Nightcap Hour 2: Hawks PUT Trae Young on TRADING BLOCK + James Dolan says KNICKS are a CHAMPIONSHIP team + LeBron continues to BEAT FATHER TIME + Bleacher Reports MOST OVERRATED NBA players + Tua wants FRESH START

18:12Shannon Sharpe:I don't know if Jalen Johnson would have been able to do this if Trey's healthy because Trey's going to dominate the ball, Joe, and he's going to have the ball in his hands, and I don't know if Jalen Johnson is going to have the ball in his hands. I don't know if these other guys are walkers. I don't know if they're going to be able to do what they do.

18:31Chad Johnson:I think Walker's been the biggest surprise. Uncle Ocho, he averaged eight points last year a game in Minnesota. That man averaging 20 points a game. I'm talking about efficient. And he came up with pitch. is he still coming up to pitch? He's starting now, Joe. Nah, he's starting. He's starting now. He's starting now. He's balling. He's doing his thing, man. They got a multitude of dudes that's really getting to it over here, playing great, probably having career years as well. So I guess they're going to kind of ride it out, see whatever they're going to try to add.

22:36Shannon Sharpe:Joe, the New York Knicks owner James Dolan in a rare radio interview says the Knicks can win the NBA Finals as constructed. I'd say we want to get to the Finals and we should win the Finals. This is sports. Anything can happen. Getting to the Finals, we absolutely have to do. Winning the Finals, we should do. Look how far we got with our group last year. And look at who we're playing and who wasn't. We're going into the second half of the season. Josh Hart is still out. Landry Shammott is coming back. We got depth. We stay healthy. We'll get into the playoffs in a much better condition than last year.

23:09Joe, do you believe the Knicks that's currently constructed

23:14Shannon Sharpe:can get to and win the NBA championship?

23:18Chad Johnson:I think they can get to the finals, Uncle Ocho. You know, like the key word is that he said was staying healthy. You know, you got to stay healthy, man. The playoffs is a different atmosphere. It's a different pace and game. Guys playing extra hard. So, you know, you got to stay healthy. But at the same time, man, you got to look at the Pistons, the Celtics, who we didn't even think was going to even be in the running.

23:41Shannon Sharpe:Jalen Brunson.

23:42Chad Johnson:I mean, Jalen Brown.

23:44Shannon Sharpe:Ooh, JB.

23:44Chad Johnson:Jalen Brown, yeah. Got a 50-peat last night. Average of damn near 30. Yeah, ever since he stopped putting that airbrush in there. Yeah, yeah, he let it go. Yeah, he been getting to it. So, yeah, I think the Knicks got a chance, man. They definitely got a chance. They got mollywhopped in Detroit tonight, but I think they definitely got a chance, man. They got a chance.

24:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I agree. I like the Sixers, but I just don't know if Geraldine B. will ever be what Geraldine B. once was. Because Tyrese Maxx and Edgecombe, they balling. They balling, man. Whoo, Tyrese Maxey.

24:20Chad Johnson:I like that. Should be an all-star. Yeah, should. He is. He going to be an all-NBA. They may have him 30 a game. He getting at it. Yeah. Maxey. Yeah. It don't matter if Embiid play or not, though. He getting to it. I don't know if they can get to the championship without Embiid. I don't know if they can contend because they need Embiid. Yeah, they need him. They need him. They need him. If he can somehow, you know, stay healthy throughout the playoffs and just be there to where, like, because even when he's been playing Uncle Ocho, he's still been giving them anywhere from 20 to 25 a night now.

24:54Chad Johnson:Yeah. And B has. Easy.

24:56Shannon Sharpe:Right now, the Pistons, 27 and 9. The Celtics are 23 and 12. They're in second place. The Knicks are 23 and 13. The Raptors, 22 and 15. The Sixers are 19 and 15. Orlando Magic was 20-16 The Heat 20-16 The Cavaliers are 20-17 I don't know what happened to the Cavaliers this year What happened Joe?

25:24Chad Johnson:You know because I look at Mobley I think Mobley He gotta go up another level or two For me, Uncle Ocho To help Donovan I know Darryl Garland been hurt and I think he stubbed that big toe the other night. So I think the injury is going to always linger with him. But Donovan need help, man. He needs something. He's going to need another guy who can come along and help tote this wagon. Yeah. I don't know. Cleveland, it might be over with that. It might be over with for that, man. And Donovan still – they didn't sign Donovan to a long-term deal, have they? I think he's still on the –

26:07Shannon Sharpe:I think he's feeling that Utah deal.

26:11Chad Johnson:Is he?

26:12Shannon Sharpe:I think so.

26:13Chad Johnson:I think Donovan probably want to go somewhere else anyway. Do you want to go to the Knicks? Yeah, that's where he want to go. You said Miami? Nah. Hold on. How are you going to go to the Knicks and Brunson there? What are you going to run to?

26:27Shannon Sharpe:He need the ball in his hand. They don't fit. Well, he can't go to the Knicks. He's trying to get you last summer. What did he get? inside a three-year 150.

26:45Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. That was last year?

26:51Shannon Sharpe:No, he ain't Brunson because he needs the ball. Yeah. Brunson needs the ball.

26:59Chad Johnson:The Knicks got a chance.

27:00Shannon Sharpe:They do. They do.

27:01Chad Johnson:They got a chance.

27:02Shannon Sharpe:They got depth. I know they riding. You got guys that can defend. You got Mikel Bridges. You got OG. You got Josh Hart, who can defend. You get guys, Miles McBride, off the bench. You got Jordan Clarkson off the bench that can score points in a bunch. You got Mitchell Robinson that can defend the paint. And Cat. Cat. Cat, you know. Cat on a given night can go get your 40. I just wish sometimes he stopped shooting threes and get his big butt down on the block at seven foot tall. But, hey.

27:33Chad Johnson:And you know They still hung over from the end season Tournament that they won too So I know they feeling good about that Hold on Y 'all mentioned about the players that The actual starters That can get you points and what they can do What about the bench?

27:49Shannon Sharpe:They got Miles McBride, Jordan Clark Mitchell Robinson They got guys that can come up the bench Defend the paint You know McKell Bridges gonna play down there 45 minutes well hopefully Mike Brown don't play him like Tim's there because he's playing them guys 42 minutes in the regular season yeah nah he got it Mike Brown got it down he ain't having that over there I forgot Jordan Clarkson was over there in New York so he's a guy that can come off and give you instant offense off the bench Miles McBride is instant offense off the bench Mitchell Robinson now he's a defender but he'll get you double digit rebounds he might have 6 points 15 rebounds but that's what you need you need somebody to protect the paint that's what that's all you need cat cat is gonna be cat now he's in a much better headspace now look he got engaged recently so normally that normally a guys normally go to a new level when they get when they get doing they get that someone solid in their life now they've been together for a minute uh and remember talking to him i mean he was like you know this is my best friend when i went through my worst time you know the passing of his mother, she was there.

28:56Shannon Sharpe:She held me down, and he said the same thing. And I think her father had passed in the family, and he was there for her. So I'm happy for Cat. I like Cat. I just wish she stopped shooting so many threes. Other than that, I got no issue with Cat.

29:13Chad Johnson:He ain't going to do that. He said he's the best shooting big man that ever lived. Why is Dirk at it this? Dirk. Dirk Nowitzki. What do you mean where he is? He and he and Dallas. I know what I'm saying. Did he not exist? He said Dirk can't shoot the three better than him. I'm just telling you what the man said now.

29:40Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. It's hard for me to take somebody over Dirk when I saw Dirk in his prime. I played against him in his prime. I ain't talking about the last three years of Dirk. I'm talking about Dirk a year. I mean, yeah. Yeah, I'm talking about when you're getting to that money.

29:54Chad Johnson:I'm talking about the only thing you can do is hold your hand up and hope he missed. Yeah, that was it.

30:02Shannon Sharpe:And we ain't even mentioned Yoke yet, but we're going to let that slide. Despite recently celebrating his 31st birthday and his 23rd NBA season, LeBron James thinks his game is still as strong as it's ever been. Speaking to reporters after Sunday's 121-14 win over the Grizzlies, LeBron said, I don't have any holes in my game. That has allowed him to help the Lakers be successful this season. That statement came after LeBron moved into second place in the NBA all-time assist list when you combine the regular season and playoff games surpassing Venanamo partner Chris Paul. But you have to look when LeBron didn't have an outside game when he got to the league.

30:45Shannon Sharpe:In order for you to play a long time When the game has evolved, you have to evolve and adapt with it. He's been able to do that. Yeah. He was mainly a downhill guy. He went to Kim. He went to Houston. He got that turnaround. He got better at the three. Now, his three is a little off this year. He's shooting 30 % when he was a career, I think, 35 % shooter. I think last year he was like 37%. So this year his free throws are down. His free throws are under 70 % when I think he shot 78 % last year. But you got to realize you're asking him to do something that he really hadn't done his whole career, and that's play off the ball.

31:26Shannon Sharpe:LeBron normally has the ball in his hands. The majority of the time, Luka or AR will have the ball in their hands. So he's having to reinvent himself in year 23 at the right age of 41. Does he have the athleticism that he had in his 20s? No. Does he have the athleticism he had in his early to mid-30s? No.

31:50Chad Johnson:But he still got some, though.

31:51Shannon Sharpe:He still can get downhill when he wants to. He just can't get down as consistently as he once could. He still hit that turnaround jumper, and if that turnaround jumper is falling, you're at his mercy.

32:02Chad Johnson:But the thing is, Ocho, he playing from the shoulders up. Yes. While the rest of these dudes playing from the shoulders down. See, his IQ for the game is so high. he's so intelligent as a player that he's always going to be effective. He knows how to affect the game. He lets the game kind of come to him now. Sometimes he's a little bit more aggressive, but for the most part, he kind of feels the game out, and he kind of brings what he feels is needed in order for them to get over the hump. It's still impressive to watch him play, man. He still looks like he's in great shape. And for me, that's probably the biggest key, Arkin Ocho, because once you get up in age, it's hard to keep that weight off you.

32:42Chad Johnson:It is. Hey, who are you telling? Look. I think it is, Joe.

32:50Shannon Sharpe:It's also hard.

32:56As you get older, the biggest thing that I noticed when I got older,

33:00Shannon Sharpe:I just couldn't do it with the same frequency as I once could. I could have a big game. But I wasn't going to put them things. I wasn't going to be stringing them together. but LeBron used to go 30, 30, 30, 30, 40, 30, 25, 28. Now it's 17, it's 8, 26, 28, 15. It's just as you get older, you just can't – your body just – and you still got the same mind. Yeah.

33:29Chad Johnson:But you know what it is? He don't be pressing out there. No. You know, he looks for those other guys to get those other guys involved to where the game can become easier for him. You know what I mean? So I think it's just as impressive to watch him nowadays than it was when he was younger because when he was younger, he was all athleticism. He was using that to the T. Now he's just outsmarting these guys now, man.

33:55Shannon Sharpe:And that's what happens. You have to evolve. You have to play the game with your mind because you lose athleticism. And when you're so reliant on that, when that goes, what can you do? That's why it's so hard. for speed guys to play. I mean, that's why I tell you, work on your technique. Because you're not going to be as fast. You're not going to be as strong. You're not going to be able to jump as high. But that technique, being able to get in and out of them breaks, Ocho. Oh, yeah. Got to keep you in the league another year. Oh, yeah. Man, Joe, I didn't know this. Joe, let me know if this is true.

34:35Shannon Sharpe:What was that? what medical? You play four years in the league, your family get it. You play five years in the league, everybody get it for life.

34:46Chad Johnson:It's something like that. It's something like that. I don't know about the three, four years, but I know.

34:50Shannon Sharpe:Because I saw Yaviselli. He had the Knicks. He was saying that's why he gonna play in the NBA.

34:57Chad Johnson:Oh, for the medical? Yes. Well, hey, look, the medical benefits have been good. If that's what y 'all want to know, they been good. I ain't going to lie to you, boy. Damn. They don't hook y 'all up in football like that?

35:17Shannon Sharpe:You get five years, Joe. The first five years. Three years you get your pension. Four years is medical. And five years, the family get medical. Forever. I'm talking about, oh, you're saying if you play. Yes, yes, in the NBA. Y 'all got, no, we don't get that. No matter how long you play, you get it for five years. That's it? You get it while you play it and five years after you play. You get to take it any five years you want to.

35:50Shannon Sharpe:Hey, there's a cold game, boy. Hey. But look, it's been impressive to watch. A lot of people are going to have to come up with some new podcasts because there ain't going to be no more hating on LeBron because what they going to say then?

36:09Chad Johnson:Yeah. Hey, let me tell you something. They going to miss that man when he gone, bro. Like, I know people talk a lot of trash. He got a lot of people who love him and love him, but he also got people who hate him as well. But, boy, I'm telling you, they going to miss that boy when he gone. They going to miss him.

36:30Shannon Sharpe:Uh-oh. But, look, that's where we are right now. Now, look, I mean, he's 41. He ain't getting no younger. He wants to stay in the game. You have to evolve your game. You have to evolve. And I can't believe people expecting a man 41 years old to be like, he don't play no defense. What 41 years? Let me ask you a question. When Ben Wallace was 35, was he playing defense like he was when he was 25, 26? Dikembe Mutombo, was he playing defense like he was? What about Rodman? so you mean to tell me you expect somebody in their 40s to play defense like they did in their 20s and their early 30s come on chat you know they hold LeBron to a different standard y 'all got those kind of expectations let you know just how great he was yeah cause let's be real y 'all didn't have the same level of expectation Kobe you're 16 you're 17 you're 18 you're 19 you're 20

37:27Shannon Sharpe:Jordan y 'all what y 'all tell you man that was just ceremony Oh, but I said, well, if he'd won a championship, would it have been a ceremonial ring? No. But LeBron, you just got a different level of expectation. That's when you know you're great. When people still see you like you were when you was 20. When you were in your 20s and early 30s, Ocho, and they still hold you to that standard,

37:51Chad Johnson:that's when you know you're great. Yep. When they feel like it ain't never supposed to be no dip in nothing.

37:59Shannon Sharpe:and we've no seen it. Tom Brady, Manny, they had the same expectation. When Tom was in year 23, 21, 22, 23, Tom should go to, you do realize the man 43, 44. And you still expect him to be out here?

38:23Shannon Sharpe:Man, the man, they gave Peyton Manning a 10 % chance to ever be able to have the full feeling in his right arm. Well, he paid Manny. Damn. I ain't give no grace? Nope. When you great, they expect you to be great forever. You think they give, they don't give Ronaldo or Cristiano Ronaldo any great leeway due to Ocho. They expect you to be great. Lionel Messi.

38:53Chad Johnson:No leeway. They expect him to, yeah, the expectations are high for them. With the amount of money them boys making over there? Hey, they different. Ooh, Joe.

39:03Shannon Sharpe:Critics and audiences agree. What the hell is this place? Only three letters describe they will kill you. W. T. F. Spend it. USA Today calls it bloody and bunkers. Are you ready to die? IGN declares it's electrifying action cinema and popcorn entertainment to the max. How many of you are there? It begs to be seen in a packed theater.

42:35Shannon Sharpe:Bleacher Report released their rankings of the most overrated players in the NBA. Number five was Michael Porter Jr. Number four was Jonathan Kaminga. Number three was Jerry McClain, the 76ers. Number two, Paulo Banqueiro. That's a bulljive. Number one, LaMelo Ball. Ocho? Joe, let me go to you first. Hold on. What did they get right, Ocho or Joe? What did they get wrong?

42:59Chad Johnson:They say Michael Porter Jr. overrated? That man averaged almost 26th game, man. Man, that man over there balling. He told y 'all what he was going to do. He said he was going to have about 25. He asked about 26 a game. He just gave the Nuggets the business last night. I don't think they right on that one. They got that one never wrong. What about Kaminga? Saying he's overrated? I don't think Kaminga overrated. I think he need to be in a situation where, you know, he can play, actually. I mean, Kurt just ain't messing with it. I don't know. Why you sign him?

43:36Shannon Sharpe:Why just not let him go? Why you bring him back? Y 'all do all this hullabaloo and bring him back to just park his ass on the bench.

43:44Chad Johnson:Because it's like that ex-girl when y 'all broke up. You don't want nobody else to have him. You don't want him, but you don't want nobody else to have him. Y 'all done broke up, so you ain't seen it in a little while. So when you see it again, you're like, oh, okay, we might can make this work. You kidding me?

44:03Chad Johnson:They just ain't playing them. What you doing? They call you.

44:05Shannon Sharpe:You ain't heard from somebody in three months. What you doing? Not talking to you. Not you. You know you miss me big head. Right.

44:15Chad Johnson:Yo, you know what I'm saying? Yo, they throw their big head in there. Well, you know, kind of.

44:27Shannon Sharpe:Then they got Paulo Banquero, and then was number two, and LaMelo Ball was number one. but I don't know about Paulo, man. Paulo balling.

44:37Chad Johnson:He be balling. I don't think his numbers ain't been what they were. What they were last year when he was an all-star, huh? Yeah, they ain't been there. And I think because LaMelo ain't never won being in Charlotte, everybody got him overrated. And LaMelo, hey, Joe, LaMelo a baller, man. Yeah. He a hoop. Listen, when you talk about hoopers, He's that. Every essence of it. You know, maybe a little flashy for some coaches. But, hey, listen, he's a joy to watch. He's a player that'll put butts in the seats because if you're going to watch the goddamn Hornets play, you're going to watch motherfucker LaMelo.

45:17Chad Johnson:Yeah. He's going to give you some highlights. But shit been stuck in Charlotte.

45:22Shannon Sharpe:Ooh, all right. Yo, we done gave you your basketball talk. Now we're going back to football. Oh, pro football talk recorded. Russell Wilson has a parting gift for the Giants in the form of an inevitable NFL investigation regarding an undisclosed grade 2 hamstring tear he says he suffered on the last play of practice week 2 game against Dallas. Russ responded to the report saying, not the Giants' fault. They did not know because I didn't want to tell anyone because of the circumstances. I had to play through and try to go out there and ball that day. But we were going to win that wild, crazy game.

46:05Shannon Sharpe:Wow. Ocho, what you making of this, Ocho? I mean, listen, it happens all the time, huh? Most of the time players get hurt. Especially with concussions. That too. Hey, Joe, they want to play. Joe, I mean, you know, too. You don't want to let not just yourself down. You don't want to let your teammates down. You don't. And you don't want to allow someone else to take your spot. And you drafted a quarterback in the first round, though, Joe? And that's exactly why he got his ass out there on that goddamn field regarding what injury he suffered in practice. I'm not letting my spot up. If I'm going to lose it, I'm not going to lose it on the bench.

46:45Chad Johnson:Right. All right. Uh-uh. That ain't happening. Ain't happening. Hey, I'm with you on that. Hey, that little hamstring, you're going to have to take this thing up, but you think I'm going to squander this opportunity and sit over here because I got a hurt hamstring? No. And listen, and Malice is already short. Malice is already short anyway because you drafted him. So I know at some point I got to go anyway, but I'm going to go on my terms. Hold on.

47:09Shannon Sharpe:Who he do this against? I think it was the last player practice before the Dallas game. the man threw for almost 500 he threw for 450 didn't he they lost in overtime if i'm not mistaken he got bent he got benched that he got benched the next week after that game he had a hell of a game joe yeah i was watching i couldn't believe it he was out there cooking boy that's the one malik neighbors went crazy towards the end huh what'd he end up with man threw a career high I guess, uh, that ain't saying much though, Joe. Everybody through a career high against y 'all. I'm gonna say, come on, man. You got to start a job for the rest of the year against y 'all.

47:52Shannon Sharpe:You ain't lying. You ain't lying.

47:54Chad Johnson:You ain't lying. I wish you were you right. I only think they won another game after that, Ocho. I'm with you with you right. Nope.

48:03Shannon Sharpe:And my blood pressure watching the Cowboys, man. He got, nah, he got benched after the Chiefs game. Yeah, he threw 450 that game against the Cowboys.

48:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. I think the thing is, look, the last two years, you know who had the biggest cap number on the Broncos, don't you?

48:31He going, ain't he? Oh, yeah.

48:35Shannon Sharpe:Russ carried the biggest cap number for the Broncos the last two years. he was the highest paid player and wasn't on the team man he wouldn't give y 'all nothing in devil man what happened i don't wait boy your guess is good as mine damn you probably should be a little leery if a team want to get off a quarterback because they so hard to come by ocho they are so hard to come by joe and for a team to be willing to trade you

49:10Shannon Sharpe:you couldn't offer you couldn't offer I mean and not to say Russ was a top five quarterback but Russ was in the MVP running for a couple of years and then he would you know falter down the stretch but Russ you can make a case that Russ was a top 10 quarterback in Seattle those last couple years don't you absolutely that would be a great argument that would be a great debate because he actually was so and then he wanted a contract and it's like nah we see slippage and you know he wanted out they found Denver

49:49damn and then Sean Payton got there and all hell broke loose

49:53Shannon Sharpe:Sean old school I don't know if you ever been around Sean but Sean yeah I know Mr. Payton well he don't play none of that He don't play none of that. He's Parcells. You know Parcells don't play none of that. So those guys come up like that. That's how they coach. He's like that. He's like, nah, we're not having this. But you got to be strong to play for Sean. You got to be strong. Yeah, because he talk crazy. He talk reckless. Yeah. You remember when Bo Nix snapped back on him last year? You remember how he was yelling? The offensive lineman jumped. You remember Detroit Ocho? We talked about it.

50:34Shannon Sharpe:The offensive lineman jumped. Russ could have shot to the sideline, and he undressed Russ. I'm like, that mofo jumped. Man, if you don't get out my face. How you mad at me because he jumped?

50:55Chad Johnson:Ain't nothing like them old school coaches, boy.

50:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but these new guys ain't used to that. They ain't not used to coaching like that, JoJo. No, they can't take that. They can't take that. It's very fragile now. Yeah. You got to be everybody's friend. You got to tell everybody how great they are. They shut down quick, boy. Ocho. They gone. Tua is open to a fresh start after he was benching the team's final three games of the season. When he spoke about after McDaniel's decision on December 17th, to a decline to comment on whether he had played his final game for the guppies well his tone shifted during the team's locker room clean out today would ask if he'd like a fresh start uh at the events this season that would be dope he said i would be good with it yeah i mean listen listen he's probably fed up at this point uh he's given us that organization that franchise everything they can uh he's gotten hurt multiple times he's had concussions and i think for him a change of scenery would be fascinating.

51:58I think he'd welcome that. I think he'd enjoy it. He deserves that. Now, I'm not sure where he can go. We can still have a fair shot. I'm not sure we can go to still have a fair shot to be a starting quarterback, but a change of scenery would be good for him.

52:14Shannon Sharpe:I mean, bro. I would love for him to start somewhere, Unc, but where would he go to start? In your sports car in Wyoming? What you gonna do with it? You need a pickup truck. where are you going to go? That was a good one. That was a good one. Your sports car. I got to write that down. Hold on. I'm going to put that in my notes.

52:40Shannon Sharpe:I'm trying. I just, I don't know. I mean, when you look around, I mean, are teams going to be willing to give compensation? He got two years still guaranteed on that contract, Ocho.

52:54Chad Johnson:Yeah.

52:56Shannon Sharpe:When they on.

53:00Shannon Sharpe:what probably about 80 million 90 so he get that regardless to where he go though right

53:10Chad Johnson:but the other team whoever he go to they gotta pay yes but you have

53:16Shannon Sharpe:dead cap money on your cap

53:20mm-hmm

53:21Shannon Sharpe:oh tour

53:27I want to think on with

53:33he got a

53:34Shannon Sharpe:$56 million cap hit if they cut him before June 1st it's basically a$100 million dead cap

53:43whoo damn

53:49Shannon Sharpe:no I don't see it I don't see a team taking on a salary. I don't.

53:55Chad Johnson:You're going to be right there with the guffies.

53:56Shannon Sharpe:So what you think? Where are you going to be at? They'll probably release him, let him go pick on somebody else. Somebody else will let him look. Ocho, if I know your house about to go in floor closure, I'm just going to let – hey, unless you drop the price, I ain't going to get it. I'll get it out of foreclosure. I know you're going to – I know you want him gone. I know he wants to be gone. Right. Why am I going to give you draft capital for – okay you take a fourth round of four no let me take it you take a fifth or six round before they're like nobody's gonna take on that salary don't they don't want that yeah yeah so hold on let me understand this let's see if they do release it right he he still you still get his money yes the same thing with russ remember the broncos released him and they still ate he owed him 38 million dollars right okay okay okay yeah yeah i think a change in scenery would be good for him.

54:47I agree. Where?

54:49Shannon Sharpe:I'm not sure. Ocho, Texas Tech new quarterback one Brandon Soresby will be reportedly earned more in one season of NIL than the value of Shadur's contract, Shadur Sanders' entire four-year rookie contract. Shadur's four-year rookie contract is$4.6 million. Brandon Soresby will get an estimated$5 million from Texas Tech in one year. In 1987, SMU got the death penalty. They're the only team to receive the death penalty, which means they did away with the football program for paying players$61 ,000. In 2026, the Texas Tech team will pay the quarterback$5 million. I mean, listen, that's where the game is going, huh?

55:38That's where it's going. You know, for premium passers, this is what they get. But you got to be premium. You got to be preemptive. Carson Beck making what? Four and a half, four million this year? You know, so it's understandable and I think that number might continue to climb, especially for that position if you're really good at it.

55:57Shannon Sharpe:We saw Levitt leave Arizona State. I think he went to Kentucky. Trinidad Chambliss is replying for a hardship. He's trying to get another year. Like Brian, he's trying to leave this right here. Them boys

56:11Chad Johnson:getting paid.

56:12Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. OTCU quarterback left for Indiana, Joe. And Ocho. Because you know Mendoza's going. He's graded as the top quarterback in the draft. He about to get$45. I thought you were fully guaranteed.

56:24Chad Johnson:His brother ain't that nice. Ain't his brother in one of his brothers back up?

56:28Shannon Sharpe:He's like, I can beat you out.

56:35Shannon Sharpe:I mean, you can't have a Parmarillion or Chihuahua trying to get out the chicken coop. Fox is going to come. Fox is going to come eat the eggs. Fox is going to come eat the chicken, the hens. You better have a Borgon or a Connie Corso. You better have something. Something.

57:00Chad Johnson:Dang, man. College is changing. You know, players, they need to stop hitting this portal. They got 3 ,000 players.

57:07Shannon Sharpe:Before you go, I think it's reported like 3 ,000 players in the portal, Joe. yep 3 ,500 and some change to be exact and if you're hitting the portal you know for money reasons I get it but I hope you're not running from competition I hope most of these players Joe and Unk they're not running from school to school because they don't want to deal with competition because when you get to that next level it ain't nowhere to run you got to compete you a free agent Cincinnati got 20 million for you and the Denver Broncos got 45. What you doing? Exactly. I hope you ain't running from competition, Ocho.

57:52Shannon Sharpe:They got that man $5 million. You're 20 years old. Oh yeah. I know. That's what I just said. Those who aren't. I'm running to the money. That's why I clarified. Can you imagine, Ocho, you're 20 years old and they got Oregon State saying, Ocho, we got$500 ,000. but you dumb say Ocho we got two million where you going Ocho hey I'm gonna see you I'm gonna be watching I'm gonna be a husband hey you gonna be at the square catching the fish with that paper hey the funny thing about it at the market yeah hey Joe and Unc this is a life lesson too because you know you see how them boys following their money huh you know this is saying we're working real life you get a promotion hey come on now you know the bigger the bag the bigger the attraction you're right hey I couldn't

58:55Chad Johnson:I couldn't imagine this when I was in school I could imagine it just the numbers wasn't that big but hold up Ocho out of 3 ,000 kids in the portal all them dudes ain't trying to get no payday some of them are running from the running from that from that smoke oh yes yeah yeah and and you know joe you think about the quarterback getting five million three thousand players in the portal ain't getting that kind of money i still think there's a that's running from competition listen if you that if you that boy you that boy no matter where you at you gonna be that boy no matter where you at if you like that like you may think you are.

59:36I ain't going no goddamn well. Nah.

59:40Chad Johnson:I think this was expected, though. Yeah. It's for guys who playing lower D1s who may have had a great season. Now they're going to one of these top power fives now.

59:53Shannon Sharpe:You see Chambliss, he left Ferris State, Ocho. He was a D2 quarterback. Yeah, D2 quarterback. I saw his story when they played. That was dope.

1:00:04he trying to get that six year back huh

1:00:06Shannon Sharpe:cause they pay good at Ole Miss he got him in the playoff this year can you imagine with that bag he gonna get about three men three four men next year oh yeah easy yeah that'll set me up cause I don't know how big he is Ocho he don't look very tall but he look good I mean he throw the ball and he throw the hell out the ball on the move yeah you do and you know who I thought was small until I watched him play I thought Bryce Underwood was small. No, he's big kid. He's like 6 '3", 6 '4". Man, your move was big as hell, man. Yeah.

1:00:42I didn't even know that.

1:00:44Shannon Sharpe:He's like Terrell Pryor. You remember Terrell Pryor? Yeah, when he was in the Raiders. He was Cleveland, too. He transitioned. He moved to wide receiver. He left quarterback with the wide receiver at Cleveland. Got a thousand yards.

1:00:58Chad Johnson:mm-hmm hey that boy Underwood he getting a big bang on that Michigan oh yeah he nice now

1:01:07Shannon Sharpe:alright we're gonna get you out of here on this one it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A

1:01:15huh I miss her

1:01:26Shannon Sharpe:Elpray 98 the Holy Ghost Whispers done told me everything's gonna be alright. Go Broncos. Ocho, the 1999 France World Cup was a great run of my favorite 2006 squad with Zinedine Zidane. Was Magic, what was your favorite World Cup? Oh, my favorite World Cup? Oh, that's a great question. That's a loaded question too.

1:01:541986, the handball. Diego Maradona Maradona? No honestly Unc even though there have been some great World Cups my favorite World Cup that I was actually able to be in presence for we had to be in Qatar France and Argentina what was that oh that was good oh yeah yeah yeah

1:02:13Shannon Sharpe:with Messi and what you call him and Mbappe I thought Mbappe had him I thought he had him yeah yeah he almost did and there have been many many World Cups that are better than that but the fact that I was there sitting right there in the front and able to witness it not watching it on TV is why I would make that one of my favorites yeah I mean I'm probably 99 for me the women the first year the women you and Brandon Chastain hit that and took that I mean the old guard yeah Mia Hamm, Brandon Chastain Breonna Scurry I remember watching it like what a moment oh yeah Aaron Owens 513 I'm about to start a sports podcast got any advice from me on Ken Ocho yeah you got to be really devoted you got to spend a lot of time bro it ain't no I don't feel like doing it today even when you don't feel like you got to do it, bro.

1:03:39Shannon Sharpe:Thursday, Friday, Saturday. You got to put the time in, bro. Everybody says they want to be successful, but I want to know what you're willing to sacrifice to achieve that success. right it's mad at 22-15 and ISO how did Joel Embiid had Ocho X when he was rolling up those wires what when Ocho called his girls in the back

1:04:10Shannon Sharpe:you and J. Crohn are my favorite ISO players of all time yeah appreciate that hey that was funny boy dang Ocho I feel bad was eight eight eight eight eight eight eight eight that that was a class that was a classic night one that was classic i know because i heard i kept hearing people say man he man he had a girl in the haitian hucklebook i say so down with the haitian hucklebook let's see hey hey um it wasn't no really no really no reason to feel bad for me because it was only two weeks my homeboys are warming man this ain't that man you pulled that much out of your girl in two weeks yeah yeah yeah I mean listen, hey listen down here we call him, she was a goer.

1:04:54Oh okay. She was a goer.

1:04:56Chad Johnson:You just didn't know it. You just didn't know it. No they told me. That's why he got us so quick. Yeah I was young. But she was a baby Joe. You said she was a senior or something right? Yeah and I was a freshman Joe. So I thought I was doing something. Oh yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah. I was playing way above my pay grade. Yeah, yeah.

1:06:24Oh,

1:06:28Chad Johnson:Joe, I know it turned you to a savage, bro. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Hey, Joe. Absolutely. As a matter of fact, Joe, you know what? Obviously, not to tell you the truth, not even a savage. because everybody deserves the benefit of the doubt and you should be able to trust everybody. All it takes is one thing. It just heightened your awareness.

1:06:50Shannon Sharpe:That's all it did, don't you? That's it. It takes one thing, Joe. And always, let me see how I say this the right way without being respectful. Because I played number two for such a long time, when I put myself in the number

1:07:06Chad Johnson:one position, all the bullshit don't work. You get what I'm saying? none of it works none of the game none of the last none of the oh my none of the differences

1:07:16Shannon Sharpe:ocho between a guy and a lady see a guy is fine being number two he don't really care about being number one a number one lady she's trying to be number two ladies trying to be number one yeah i'll be back i'll be there i don't need to be lead singer i don't never want to need to get on the microphone. I just beat you. You know what? Absolutely not. Joe, hey Joe, number two was such a beautiful spot. I ain't got to deal with the headache. I ain't got to deal with the fussing. I ain't paying no bills. You're coming to me to vent, and I'm a shoulder to cry on.

1:07:51Chad Johnson:Yep. And also, and right there, man. Yeah, yeah. You know where I'm going? Yeah. Dan and Bubba going.

1:07:57Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm perfectly fine being Jerome. Where that mirror at? O-D, O-D, O. Hey, I don't need to be more than that. I'm the wrong, I'm older than Dero.

1:08:08Chad Johnson:Hey. Hey, I'm doing the burn. Ha ha! Have you heard? Don't tell y 'all nothing about the burn. Hey, you crazy. I grew up on that. Hey, that was the day, Joe. Now, now I got me a nice little night. Oh, yeah, he got Cambodian. Yeah, I'm good now, Joe. Yeah, he locked in. He locked in. Hey, Joe ain't got no problem, Joe.

1:08:31Shannon Sharpe:But you know, hey, at first, he was like Gattaca. Y 'all remember that movie Gattaca? With Halle Berry, everybody was dressed like... Because Ocho, you know, when they say he's got a tight... Yeah, he got a tight...

1:08:50Chad Johnson:What? Me? Do he? You think I got a tight bone? Yeah. Hey, let me tell you something. hey joe hey joe what's up when i get a bag of skittles yeah i eat every color i don't pick and choose okay i don't pick and choose

1:09:23Shannon Sharpe:hey that man had a party

1:09:36Chad Johnson:Hey

1:10:02Hey Joe, this way back in 1992.

1:10:08Chad Johnson:Hey, but you know that feeling though. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And seeing that. Oh, hey, we done all been there. Oh yeah, yeah. We done all been there. That's why I say boy, it scarred you a little bit, but that's okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Matter of fact, it scarred me to the point where I approach things with a better understanding. Yeah. Like, even if we, that doesn't belong to me. That's not my property. Come on, Unk, what you, Unk, what is that, Unk? What are you guys? Unk got birthday stuff. You showing out tonight, Ochoa? Hey, Unk, Unk off that liquor tonight, boy.

1:11:16Hey, I bet some of the people in the chat lost. They might not know what the hell we talking about.

1:11:25they would have had to be here for that show

1:11:31Shannon Sharpe:you got some more stories

1:11:36hey i got i got about i got about two more but i ain't gonna tell you tonight oh my goodness man

1:11:44Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe. Oh, Joe. Joe, that bad.

1:11:53Shannon Sharpe:Oh, man. Yo, Ocho, I'm sorry, man. Nah, you good, you good, you good, you good. You know, it's good to let y 'all, you laughing at my pain, it's all good. Nah, man, I wouldn't do that, Ocho. Nah, you know, you gotta think, this back in 92, so it don't really meet, it don't make me nothing no more. Yeah, yeah. Me and my homeboy just having us a good night.

1:12:29Chad Johnson:Ocho, what's wrong with it, Ocho? Oh, hey, he on that liquor tonight, boy.

1:12:34Shannon Sharpe:He on that little portcane. Ocho, I ain't have no much water tonight. I ain't have no liquor tonight. I ain't drinkin' it tonight. I'm saving that. I'm saving that for Saturday and Sunday. Are you sober? Okay.

1:12:52Shannon Sharpe:Chad, I'm sorry. Chad, we got to get through this. We got to get through this. Come on, Chad. We got some more Q &A. The Ugg Ocho already told you that Judy is the number one. What more do you need to see?

1:13:08Wait, I didn't hear that. What did you say?

1:13:10Shannon Sharpe:And Mike Jones said, Ocho already told you that Judy is a number one. What more do you need to see? Just a little consistency, that's all. Oh, Lord. You still crying? Man. Edgy Carr, do y 'all think kicker positions important? Stressed in the league. How well would you, the 2000 Ravens, fare with Lamar Jackson at the helm? Bro, you got to understand, it was a different game back then. They could drop their body weight on Lamar. They could do all kinds of things. It's not like it is now. The quarterback is the most protected. The quarterback is like witness protection. Did you see how Elway got hit?

1:13:56Shannon Sharpe:Did y 'all watch the video and see his documentary? Y 'all better go look at that and see how them guys hit. It was a different game back then. Lamar is sensational. And that's not to say he couldn't play. But, boy, all that running around, they were going to be hunting, boy. Mm-mm. Man. Trey Newsome, up at the free man in 26. Please listen to Ocho's advice. He's only looking out for your best interest. Ocho, that 98 France kit, clean, man. Appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're 26. We good. We good, cuz. We, uh. Hey, we in 26.

1:14:42I know what happened.

1:14:46Shannon Sharpe:I put that beat. I put that beat. That's Cully. It's over. Yeah. JJ Carver, 80. If the Raiders need any defense, look no further than Elgato. They be giving Ocho hell.

1:15:03Shannon Sharpe:Family wealth builder. Should Brad Holmes be fired due to the Lions falling? Detroit fans are lighting torches and grabbing pitchforks. What do you think, Unk and Ocho? No. No, you had a down year. You had a down year. But, bro, look at your draft. Look at what you got. You drafted Amon Ross St. Brown. You drafted Jamison Williams. You got Jameer Gibbs. You make the trade for Jerry Goff. You look at your defensive guys. You got Jack Campbell. You got Aiden Hutchinson. You got, but a lot of those guys, the secondary was injured. No, you, Penesaw. No. No. Man, you guys right there.

1:15:46Shannon Sharpe:GT knew. Shannon, why you got to keep calling my Dolphins guppies, man? We've had a bad enough with the tuna turn them all over at quarterback and not winning a playoff game in 26 years. Give Ocho, give us an Ocho a break. Hey, what do you call him? Tuna what? Turn the ball over.

1:16:08Shannon Sharpe:Turn the ball over. Turn the ball over. Tuna.

1:16:15Shannon Sharpe:Lanny Ray, hey, guys. Ocho, I got a dad joke for you. What do horse eat the day of a race?

1:16:31I don't know what to eat.

1:16:32Shannon Sharpe:Nothing. They fast.

1:16:42Shannon Sharpe:Good one, lady. Marlon Wilson, why aren't people questioning Matt Nagy the way they question EB, Eric B. Enemy, for head coaching jobs?

1:16:56Shannon Sharpe:Well, we'll see. You hear reports that there's a possibility that EB might be going back to KC. We'll see. But I don't know why McNaggett getting here for a job. Andy Reid called the plays. When he got the job in Chicago, Andy Reid called the plays. They say they want somebody that's called plays before.

1:17:21Shannon Sharpe:Andrew Carr says, Ocho, out here looking like Uncommon. With the hat on. Run for me. Hey, Unk, what's the holdup with Mike Imps' interview? Also, it'll be dope if y 'all have Prime on once a week. Put Memphis on your tour.

1:17:42Shannon Sharpe:Tennessee. Bro, be patient. Be patient.

1:17:49Shannon Sharpe:Brian, 6198. Unk, Ocho, who's the best head coach for Jackson Dart in New York? Y 'all better not agree.

1:18:00Shannon Sharpe:it needs to be you got a quarterback it needs to be an offensive line Ocho I'm trying to think who would be a great hey I can know Clint Kubiak Seattle's OC

1:18:17Mr. Gannon Arizona Cardinals Jonathan Gannon

1:18:21Shannon Sharpe:he's a D yeah he a defensive line Ain't he a defensive mind? Because I think Shane Steichen was the offensive coordinator, and he went to – he's in Indy. Wasn't Jonathan Gallon the D.C.? Yeah. In Philly.

1:18:41Stefanski, an offensive guy. Yes.

1:18:48Shannon Sharpe:But I do believe Brian Flores is going to get a job this hiring cycle. Q Mar says, I'm a Hawks fan and sad to see Trey go. I hope he goes to the Spurs or the Bucs so we can see Trey to Wimby or Trey to Giannis, best passer in the league, in my opinion. I don't see him going because they got Darren Fox, they got Stephon Castle, and they got Dylan Harper. They don't need Trey in San Antonio. Now, I can see a scenario, Milwaukee, but...

1:19:20but I do believe he topped two, three best passes in the league,

1:19:28Chad Johnson:by the way. He can pass that ball. Oh, he can. Well, yeah, I don't see him going to San Antonio neither. I don't even see San Antonio messing with nothing they got going on over there.

1:19:41Shannon Sharpe:Other to go, Ocho. Will, I am Shakespeare. We need to end nightcap like that every night. Very insightful. Thoughts.

1:19:53Shannon Sharpe:With the spoken word. The Sean underscore show. What's up, fellas? If the MVP goes to the most valuable player, then Drake may should win the award. The Rams are a good team without Stafford. No, they're not. And with two great receivers. Go Pats. Your thoughts.

1:20:14Shannon Sharpe:I just look, I don't know. I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Lamar was going to win it last year after 41-5, and his team had tremendous success, and then Josh Allen got it. And that's not to say Josh Allen didn't earn the right to be the MVP. But 46-8, led the league in passing, led the league in passing touchdowns. I don't know. For me, it's Matthew Stafford. I don't know what you think, Ochoa and Joe. but I think Matthew Stafford is the MVP to me. Yeah, I mean, I was going with Staff anyway. If anything, obviously after that week he had, where he played bad last week, he redeemed himself this past weekend.

1:20:59Some people say Drake May. Drake May deserves it based on what he was able to do after going 4-13 the previous year. So that's tough. That's tough. I mean. You're going to have two different sides of the spectrum on people that think it should be Drake May and people that think it should be Matt Stafford.

1:21:23Shannon Sharpe:Man, if 46 and 8 don't get it, I don't know what you're going to do to get it. Kyle Marquise, dang, you wore a blue and orange in college and in the NFL, you really bleed it. Yep. And my high school colors were green and gold. So my brother got green and gold when he got with Green Bay, and I got blue and orange. Damn. Ronnie M, what's up, Nightcap? Who do you think should dominate the sports more in their prime? Shaq, Curry shooting, or Prime Brady with Vicks? Woo! Man, if Shaq can shoot the ball like Steph Curry, that man averaged 100 points a night.

1:22:06Chad Johnson:That's too much. I can't get nobody there.

1:22:11Shannon Sharpe:God ain't giving you all that now. Hell no. Absolutely not. Man, Shaq 7-1 can shoot the ball like Steph and be dominant like he was. Oh, man, please.

1:22:25Chad Johnson:Man, please.

1:22:27Shannon Sharpe:He get 100 tonight. He average 100 tonight. He put a record out where nobody ever break it.

1:22:32Chad Johnson:Hey, but I'm going to tell you something. When we can stay healthy, he going to be close to it. Man, he got to put some... I'm saying from a defensive standpoint... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, he'll be a better defender. He can average four to five blocks a game, if not more. Double-figure rebounds. Obviously, you know you're going to be at least 20 points a game. Yeah, he can...

1:22:58Shannon Sharpe:Health will not. Shout out Keith Burns. He was my special teams coach at TSU. And also, my all-time favorite coach. Love you, coach. I'm his favorite kid. He coached.

The Cleveland Browns have relieved Kevin Stefanski of his duties. Pete Carroll was also relieved of his duty. Jonathan Gannon of the Arizona Cardinals was relieved of his duties today.

1:25:18Shannon Sharpe:We know Raheem Moore was relieved of his duties last night. Minnesota. The Giants made this move earlier in the year and so did the Tennessee Titans. So I think that's what seven positions that are open still might be a possibility of some more. We'll see but Cleveland is going in a different direction so are some of the other teams. The Arizona Cardinals the New York Giants the Tennessee Titans and the Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta Falcons got a pretty good roster. If they solidify that quarterback, I expect them to be a complete team next year because they've got some defensive guys and they've got some offensive weapons.

1:26:00Shannon Sharpe:I love Drake London, B. John Robinson, Kyle Pitts. If you get him re-signed, Ocho, they've got some pieces down there in Atlanta. So again, thank you guys for joining us.
