31:27Shannon Sharpe:Where he spent the bulk of his OTAs in minicamp on offense. Liam Cohen, who's the head coach, says, I think we're going to blend this offseason schedule with him a little bit better than what we did last year, which is more like focus per day on one side of the ball as we did in the season, where he was more back and forth on both sides of the ball throughout the day. That might be a little bit more where trending. Hunter is coming off season-ending knee surgery and will eventually be medically cleared to return to OTAs. Ocho, do you like this? Yeah, I like it. I love it. It's what he did in college.

32:02Obviously, we had debates about whether he would be able to do it at the highest level, being how much it would take out of him based on the type of players and talent he would be going against, whether he's playing a DB or whether he's playing a receiver. And we felt for him to be actually great. He has to play one position. But he made it clear, he made it known that wherever he goes, he would love to play both sides of the ball. So for Travis Hunter, who we call the Ferrari, you know, the Ferrari was in the garage this season due to injury. So I'm hoping, you know, he comes back healthy and he's ready, puts on a little bit more muscle to prevent, you know, small injuries like this based on the workload that he's going to have, having to play both sides of the ball.

32:48So I'm excited. I'm excited for him. Hopefully he can have success in doing both. And even if you're not great on both sides of the ball, if you can be good and give your team what they need at that position and make the plays you made, being instinctive like you were in college, I mean, I think it's a good thing.

33:06Shannon Sharpe:I think I'll be cautious, Ocho, because he's coming off an injury. Yeah, season-ending knee surgery. I would be really cautious because I don't want to overstress it. And I understand that, you know, you want to do a better job of blending him. and have him going back and forth, but that's a lot of taxing. That's a lot of planting and cutting going one way, and that's a lot of backfilling, dipping, planting and coming the other way. So I would just say be cautious with that.

33:40Shannon Sharpe:But there's no question his conditioning. But I want to see it. I want to see it. He believes that he can play 75 plays, play in both ways. I mean, no, he believes he can play an entire game, both offense and defense. I think that's asking a bit much. But I think, hey, let's find out. He believes it. They believe it. Because the only way this works, Ocho, you traded up and you traded a first-round draft pick to do this. So for me, it has to work. He has to be every bit of what you thought you were getting when you traded that pick. Because basically they moved up, what, one spot, two spots? Yeah, to go grab him at two.

34:21Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

34:25Shannon Sharpe:so

34:29Shannon Sharpe:Parker Washington Jr. Parker Washington played extremely well. I think they got a tight end named Strange. I think he played well. Now they're going to be without, they lose

34:42Shannon Sharpe:Travis A-chan. A-chan, yeah, not A-T-N. It's not A-T-N. It's A-chan.

34:51Shannon Sharpe:I don't know who the other receiver is wait a minute who just went to the 49ers Parker Washington he's still there yeah Christian Kirk Christian Kirk he went from the Jags to Houston I get Christian Kirk and him mixed up said he moved up three spots. I appreciate that, bro. But I know they gave him a first-round draft pick to move up three spots, and so when you move up that, that guy's got to be a difference maker. Oh, yeah, absolutely. Got to be a difference maker. Jacoby Myers. Oh, yeah, Jacoby. No, they got him from the Raiders. Yeah, I forgot about Jacoby. Jacoby. Yeah, Jacoby Myers is the other receiver.

35:41Shannon Sharpe:So Parker Washington, Jacoby Myers, strange. Christian Kirk was gone last year. And so Trav will be in the mix. Jacoby was balling too when he came. Oh, yeah, for sure.

35:57Shannon Sharpe:And Trav, he seemed like this offense is kind of suited. The coach, he and Liam seem to be on the same wavelength. This is why they selected him number one. This is why I say when you step foot in college, when he comes out, he'll be the first player taken. You look at him last year, you say, okay. nah I see what everybody saw wins the national championship as a true freshman gets them there gets them to the championship again even though they lose hey he got the goods oh and what you call him Brian Thomas Jr Joe he coming off an injury I forgot about him Brian Thomas he had a hell of a he had a hell of a rookie season kind of tapered off a little bit with the inconsistencies last year though.

36:49Shannon Sharpe:Yes, yes, yes. But he's going to be all right. He's going to be all right. He definitely needs to be all right. He definitely needs to be all right. Ocho, the NFL is moving forward with plans to begin hiring and training replacement officials in the next several weeks because the negotiation with the NFL Referee Association have stalled. The current CBA expires May 31st. The NFL has offered a 6.45 annual growth rate over the next series of deals. the NFL RPA the referee association is asking for 10 % plus 2 million in marketing fees the average NFL official earned 385 ,000 in 2025 training of replacement officials to be recruited from the college rank is expected to begin as early as May 1st the last time NFL used replacement officials was in 2012 and you remember Ocho the failed Mary the ball hit the dirt they gave the guy touchdown and I think it was the Seattle beat Green Bay on the situation.

37:49Shannon Sharpe:If replacement players, ref, take the field in 2026, how bad does it get, Ocho? Does it affect the integrity? I think it does affect the integrity of the game. I understand that they are officials, maybe at the college level, maybe even at the high school level. You never know what their experience are. I mean, it is, obviously, but the best officials to have at the highest level are those that are familiar with the game, those that have been doing it at the highest level for a very long time. And of course, human error is inevitable. They're going to get it wrong sometime. But for the most part, those that have experience, those that have been doing it for years, are the best ones to do.

38:23Hopefully they can get this situation, you know, solidified and expedited, you know, so the referees are there. If you have replacement refs, there are going to be mistakes, many more than what we already have when the regular refs are in.

38:41Shannon Sharpe:it's just this is what business is about it doesn't matter how much the NFL makes they're trying to keep as much as they possibly can while paying out as little as they possibly can be it players be it officials so this notion that we want the best no you don't you want the most affordable that's what you want

39:09Shannon Sharpe:revenue keeps going up expeditiously crazy these guys pay them compensation especially the referees i mean i mean you say you know and i say i think they released a statement like the nfl is not being distant they're being disingenuous they're trying to negotiate through media you know the NFL is always trying if you notice the NFL I told you I wasn't going to say anything but I can't I can't keep my mind shut the NFL is always trying to cap salary they always try to put a cap on how much somebody can make you notice that don't you? always but they don't put no cap on the sales oh no absolutely not they want to put a cap on the players how much the players you already got a salary cap but now you know a a player in this thing this is the most he can make now the officials XYZ and is it true that the officials they don't get medical benefits covered

40:18they don't I don't think so

40:24Shannon Sharpe:I think I read some

40:31we do

40:36okay

41:03huh go ahead don't you what happened oh you trying to see something oh you looking for somebody with officials

41:19If I could be the one.

41:22Shannon Sharpe:NFL officials who are generally classified as part-time employees rather than full-time league staff do not receive the same comprehensive health insurance benefits as headquartered employees according to the recent labor dispute. While they receive a 401k, travel plans, stipends, and compensation for games, they have historically lacked traditional medical coverage in the NFL. Health insurance dispute, a major contention of the labor negotiations have been the lack of health care benefit for on-field officials. I thought I had read that where they said that was a really sticking point for them.

41:59Shannon Sharpe:I don't think they get it or it's not the same level as what the, yeah. Well, employee, it's kind of like, it's kind of, it's kind of like Congress. Congress get platinum coverage and then you try to scrap and try to find a silver or a piece together plan where they get top of the line coverage yeah

42:31so

42:32Shannon Sharpe:we'll see hopefully they get this thing resolved because that's the last thing I want to see. Replacement officials on Sundays Because we are, what? Anytime a ball call, they already think somebody on the take. Somebody made a call. You don't want, I mean, and considering that the prop bets and everything is going on, the conversation is getting louder and louder.

43:09Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, these are the college football biggest spenders on private jets in 2025. Alabama,$1.235 million. Nebraska,$1.136 million. University of Michigan,$1 ,078 ,000. A &M,$925 ,000. Texas,$817 ,000. As you can see the list right there on your screen, Chad. Yeah, we are. Hold on. Where did Wyoming go for$3 ,000? They must be just drove that thing around the hangar, just cranked it up back to that. That's it, just to make sure to crank up? You ain't flew nowhere. Hey. You can't even go from Laramie to Jackson Hole for$3 ,000. And most of those trips, right, Unk? Is that for the head coaches or just for players that they bring in on visits?

44:02Shannon Sharpe:I don't think. I think the coach. I think the coaches, I don't think that's they don't put that in there. I mean, that's probably put a nah, I'm saying that's probably I was going to say, like bringing them in on visits the family, the top guys or guys that's in the portal Okay, okay, okay, okay That's not bad and the numbers aren't that bad based on how much the goddamn entities and colleges make in general Yeah, that's not bad this is nothing to do with games so we're not surprised but i'm trying to figure out where wyoming went i'm trying to figure out where oregon state went where houston went whoa whoa hey that's enough that's enough of my my beavers you know we we we going through it as it is right now we're gonna be all right oh where you going for 11 000 hey probably to portland Portland and right back.

44:59You probably should drove. Oh, hey. My beef is going to get back right, man. I'm telling you.

45:07Shannon Sharpe:I don't know, Ocho. Y 'all looking. Hey, it's rough. It's rough. I'm not even going to lie to you. It's rough right now. There's such a huge imbalance right now with Oregon State and Oregon. But back in my time when I was there, hey. Y 'all put something on Oregon? Did we? we lost one game that year we lost to the Huskies and you know what we did to Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl we had a team of nothing but junior college players man all you guys I'm talking about dogs everywhere all the way across the board offense and defense Dennis Erickson was one hell of a coach man I think I was reading somewhere today I don't know it might been AI that uh what you call me getting ready to build a a 170 million dollar facility Oregon or that that might be believable I mean believable they already got there I'm sure I have I've never been to their facility man yeah you see that facility they got they got barbershairs is it

46:21Shannon Sharpe:oh okay so it ain't by reputable okay okay okay sorry you brought it up especially oregon i know they got stated art everything stated art everything i could imagine i've never been there it's just the fact that phil knight went there so i know i know they get first dibs on everything got ocho they got i mean the shoes the color wave everything they get first deal on everything.

54:51Shannon Sharpe:I'm gonna take your word for it don't don't don't spoil it for me then uh Brendan Flacco 5900 by next week for my Haitians slide through long oh okay come on come on come on and you ain't got that and you ain't got that switch of that drum on you so hey hey ZB ZB come on through baby

55:15Shannon Sharpe:Ron for me what do you want people to take away from NICAP beyond the laughs and sports talk congratulations to me your organic followers well I like to think I would like to think that Ocho and I have shared some life lessons I think you can look back and see some of the things that have happened to us and see how we just keep pressing forward

55:40Shannon Sharpe:you're not your circumstances. You're what you do after circumstances happen to you. You take responsibility, you take accountability, you keep pressing forward. That's the only thing we know how to do. That's what we've done. That's how we were able to get to where we got. So if you don't think that we had trials and tribulations and we had to overcome obstacles just to make it to where we got what we're really what we were known for before we kind of got into this space, you're sadly mistaken. but everybody has things happen to them. We're not the first. We won't be the last. And we didn't have the most difficult things to overcome, but we had things to overcome and we're proud that we did.

56:20Shannon Sharpe:And so hopefully we just share some of our stories of upbringing and some of the things that have happened, not only in early in our career, but in high school and in college and even in the NFL. Hopefully some people got something out of that.

56:37Shannon Sharpe:Burner count to congrats on 2 million which team had more talent 97 Broncos uh oh two Ravens Mr. 85 which wide receiver room got more stacked 06 Bengals or the 24 group well I think offensively you have more talent than Denver um I mean we had five Hall of Famers on the offensive side of football. No, we had me, John, Zim, TD. We had four at Watermeid on defense. So we had four Hall of Famers on the offensive side. Offensively, we had more talent in Denver. Defensively, they had more talent over there.

57:17Shannon Sharpe:But it had been a fun battle. Which wide receiver room was more stacked, 06 Bengals or 24 group? Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good one. That 24 group was stacked. Obviously, 24 group, Chase, Higgins. I'm not sure who would be the third. Tyler Boyd, maybe. Well, Tyler Boyd was 24, huh? Yeah. You know what? When it comes to that question, that all comes down to preference. You have to understand, in the league they play today, can you imagine putting us three? Take me, Chris Henry, and TJ and put us in this past happy league today. What would it look like? Huh? Yeah. Who would y 'all tie the end in Ocho?
