Nightcap Hour 2: Joe Burrow’s NOT HAPPY in Cincy + Shedeur Sanders NFL’s Rookie of the Week + Cam Newton SALTY at Colts

25:12Yeah, let me grab me a Red Bull while you think.

25:21Shannon Sharpe:Raiders could use him.

25:26Shannon Sharpe:Cardinals.

25:31Cardinals? Yep. Cardinals? So you're leaving Jamar? You're leaving Jamar and T to go play quarterback for the Cardinals? Oh, they got Marvin Harrison Jr.

25:38Shannon Sharpe:I like Wilson. They got McBride. You're leaving the Bengals. You're leaving Jamar T. The Vikings! Shut your mouth!

25:50Shannon Sharpe:Now look at it, Chad. Chad, what happened? Ocho froze. Did the internet go out? Did the internet go out, Chad? Okay, that was a good one. That was a good one. That was a good one. That was a good one. Your internet went out. That was a good one. That was a good one. That was a good one. Pittsburgh. In the... They never let him go. I'm just saying. I just threw that out there. They never let him go there. Hell, hell no. Hell no. They never let him go there. Let's see. NFC, NFC, NFC West. No. NFC South.

26:31Shannon Sharpe:Atlanta look good look good Atlanta look real good

26:42Shannon Sharpe:I would think you know what they're not gonna get rid of CJ but what if he was with the Texans nah Will Anderson Jr Stingley Danelle Hunter Alagir Lasseter Petrie Fettel Jr Edwards Jr Rankins Do I need to keep going?

27:40Shannon Sharpe:Hey, I'm Hoda Kotb, host of the podcast Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb. Together, we're going to have meaningful conversations with the world's most fascinating people. Like when actress Olivia Munn shared how she overcame fierce health challenges. I've gone through breast cancer and then helped my mother through breast cancer, and that was more difficult. There's a lot of people who understand postpartum depression. I was not prepared for postpartum anxiety. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

28:14Shannon Sharpe:I love the sounds. The buzzing from the stadium, the chanting from the fans, the announcers calling the place. Soccer. Football. It's home. Why do I watch the World Cup? That's like asking me, why do I breed? I inherited that fandom from my mom. I like watching it with my dad. It's a connecting force. From Futuro Studios, I'm Fernanda Echavarri, and this is American Football, a show about soccer culture in the U.S. and its underdog roots. We go beyond the game to the people and the stories that make it great. A soccer game is a festival. It's not just a game. It's your culture. I took an elbow to my head, which cracked my skull.

28:58It is an American game. The Brazilians don't like hearing that, though. Are they the only ones that don't like that?

29:04Shannon Sharpe:Nobody likes that. As we get ready for the Men's World Cup this summer, listen to American Football as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

29:22Shannon Sharpe:What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luka and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows, without Luka and Austin Reed, I gotta manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reed. He has to guard Julius Randle.

29:56And then he has to give us everything he gives us on a night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history, too.

30:05Shannon Sharpe:Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running on the court, licking his fingers while he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out. real quick. Get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is. Getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. As long as there's a politics of race in America, there's going to be a politics of remembering the Civil War.

30:42Shannon Sharpe:To get to school, I had to go down Robert E. Lee Boulevard, get to the grocery store I had to go down Jefferson Davis Parkway. If you're an historian and you leave out half of what the history is, you're not doing your job. I'm Akilah Hughes and Rebel Spirit Season 2 goes deep on both of those things. The fights, the politics, the people who won, and my personal campaign to add something to the Kentucky State House that's actually worth the wall space. We are more than our bodies. We contain essence. We contain spirit. How do you represent that. They are just fueling a fire that is really catching.

31:16You'll see what I mean. Listen to Rebel Spirit Season 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

31:26Shannon Sharpe:I think I've done enough. Shadour Sanders was named NFL Rookie of the Week after a breakout performance against the Titans last Sunday. Despite being a fifth-round pick and despite not starting a game until November 16th, Shadour became the first rookie quarterback this season to receive the honor. Ocho? Yeah. Put in the work. Could put it with the Colts. Can you imagine him with Buck?

31:56Shannon Sharpe:Ward, Sauce. Pierce, Pittman Jr. What are you talking about? Warren. You said talking about Joe? Hey, with that defense with Buck, Frank, Sauce, Ward. Listen, man. Listen, man. I know you're enjoying this. You know, he's ruffled a lot of feathers. He has us pundits and media outlets talking, you know, about how he's feeling. And we're creating these narratives and hypotheticals of him actually leaving. He ain't going nowhere. No, the only way you'll see Joe Burrow on another goddamn team is if you're playing Madden. that's it so if you're playing Madden there you go you can trade him to a team you want to but in real life it ain't happening what do you expect what are you expecting from should do against the Bears I think it's gonna be a good game I think wait they play they're playing it don't matter where you're playing it's cold it's cold regardless of wherever they're gonna be at it's cold everywhere this time of year unless you're in a dome unless you're in like Miami or somewhere yeah yeah yeah yeah I think it's gonna be another game like like we just saw Another game like we just saw is going to be statistically good for him.

33:12He's going to be able to build off of some of the mistakes he made in the last game and try to improve on them this game. Obviously, you practice to want to be as perfect as possible and minimize mistakes and errors. So, I mean, that's all I want to see. I want to see you improve, you know, week to week when you get your opportunities. That's it. But the most important one is getting that W, getting your team that W. True.

33:37Shannon Sharpe:I'm excited. I'm happy for him. He won offensive rookie of the week. First quarterback, first rookie quarterback to do that. I think he has an extremely bright future in front of him. Just keep getting better and better. Control what I can control, which is studying, getting better, going through my progressions, do a better job. Just understand it's okay if I step forward in the pocket instead of always trying to bubble. Those guys are really fast on the edge, man. Very. They're very fast on the edge, and you're not going to be able to outrun very many of them. So I'm excited and can't wait to watch this game on Sunday.

34:15Shannon Sharpe:T.J. Watt is at a Pittsburgh area hospital for an evaluation of his lung after experiencing discomfort at the team facility on Wednesday. Mike Tomlin told a reporter later on Thursday that Watt stayed overnight at the hospital on Wednesday. I'm a little bit cautious about what I say because I'm not a medical expert, But to make a long story short, he was experiencing some discomfort when he was at the facility yesterday. So we took him to the docks and they're going through some procedures. He has a lung situation that's being addressed. I think he has some testing and forth, so forth, ahead of him this afternoon.

34:50Shannon Sharpe:So that's all I know at this juncture. I communicated last night. He was comfortable. And that's all I really have at this point. Tomlin confirmed that Watt's status against Miami is up in the air at this point. I mean, I'm not sure what the issue is, but his health. Did he have something with his ribs? Did he get an injection and they punctual him? What? I hope that's not the case. I mean, like I said, normally I think TJ is what, 30-31? That's not normal, man. 31-year-olds don't experience any discomfort. Also, if it's on the field, he fell on the ball, he got hit or something. It might have happened in-game.

35:38It might have happened in-game.

35:39Shannon Sharpe:And it didn't flare up until Wednesday? Sunday. Ain't no telling. Come on, that. Yeah, ain't no telling. Knowing him, trying to beat Mr. Tough Guy. I've heard of Doms, and we know what Doms is. Delayed onset muscle soreness. Yes. But not four days. Yeah, yeah. But okay, I'll take your word for it. You're right. But hopefully he gets healthy because we, I'm not we, but they need him out there on that field. They need him out there on that field. Absolutely. They absolutely need him out there. Cam Newton, who's eight years younger than Phillip Rivers, wants to know why the Colts didn't reach out to him when they needed a quarterback.

36:18Shannon Sharpe:The 36-year-old said the 44-year-old Rivers signing with the Colts is almost like a slap to my face. He pointed out he did not officially retire and is still working out. Ocho, why didn't the Colts reach out to Cam? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Listen, I would have loved to see for Cam to get opportunity. Obviously, you hear me say Cap name all the time. You know, knowing that they probably wouldn't, you know, bring Cap back. But just understanding that he wants to play and he still works out. I'm not sure why they didn't bring Cam back. You think about the situation that they have on their hands already.

36:50I think maybe they see Cam Newton and already have an Anthony Richardson. You know, even what Cam has accomplished in the NFL and in college, them having a quarterback already similar to his playing style in that quarterback room already, that may be a reason behind it. And obviously the relationship between Shane Steichen and his familiarity with the offense that they're running, I think that they're a little bit more comfortable bringing in someone that they feel can, you know, already just plug and play. basically that's the only thing I can think of

37:25Shannon Sharpe:I will say this to Cam because somebody else didn't have to do something that doesn't mean that you don't have to you see like okay I've been on TV Ocho been on CBS I was at Fox obviously ESPN but if I get called back somewhere else and they say well Shannon we need you to read I can't say well I've been on TV man I've been on TV 25 years he didn't have to read you can't look at it like that just because somebody else didn't do something that doesn't mean you have to we've got to stop this notion just because somebody else didn't do something well I shouldn't have to do it either you want the job or not

38:13yeah that's the only thing look I get it Cam is in phenomenal

38:18Shannon Sharpe:shape. I see his stories from time to time. He working out. He doing stuff. I don't know if he's still throwing, but he looks like he's in phenomenal shape. I see the stuff that he's doing, but we've got to stop this because somebody else didn't do something and got a job. Well, I shouldn't have to do that either. Yeah. I don't think, hey, you know what? I don't think he don't want to play no ball. He just talking. He just talking. You think so? He just talking. He got jobs like I do, man. He got about 37 jobs man you you leaving all you leaving all that with all you got going on to go play quarterback for four five weeks absolutely not and you're probably making exactly what you're gonna be making when you go out there on the on the goddamn field you're probably making that right now where you're at now no well i think the thing the biggest thing for cam is that cam wanted to leave on his own terms yeah it's a lot easier oh it's a lot easier leaving when you want to leave it's like the club if i'm ready to go i'm cool with it i don't care i don't care if they put the bars on the thing.

39:17Shannon Sharpe:But if I ain't ready to go, bro, let me get one more. Yeah, if they turn the lights on when you ain't ready. First of all, I'm already gone before they turn the lights on. Because I'm ready to go. I'm leaving on my own. Now, if the guy got to pick you up by the back of your pants and throw your ass out, clearly you wasn't ready to leave. So I think Cam does have some unfinished business. Do I think if somebody called Cam offseason, and say, Cam, look, we want to give you an opportunity. I think Cam would take him up on that opportunity. I do. You think so? Yeah. I don't. You got too much other stuff going on.

39:57Too much other stuff. Too much other stuff that's long-term. Yeah. As opposed to going back.

40:04Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, when you're that competitor, and that's the thing. You're going to get too old to play football. I know they brought Phillip Rivers back for, you know, and they try to salvage their season and keep their playoff hopes alive. but you're going to age out of football. You get too old to play a sport. You don't get too old to talk. Yeah, and listen, now that I see Cam, now that his feet are grounded and cemented on the other side of the fence now, I mean, there's no need to jump the hot defense. Hey, we ain't kids no more. Come on, come on over here. Stay on over here in this lane, and let's dominate on this end.

40:39Let's dominate what we do on this end. Let's beat Cam Newton from Auburn over here with that camera in front of you. Beat Cam Newton from Auburn on ESPN. Beat Cam Newton from Carolina. Beat this on fourth and one. You know, your legacy is already cemented on the green grass. Let's create that legacy on this end with that camera in front of you. Having fun, you know, talking football, talking the game.

41:09Shannon Sharpe:But I didn't leave how I wanted to. You know what? I tell you what if somebody would have called you you was doing what you doing so let's just say somebody called you in 2014 what was I doing in 2014 oh no absolutely not exactly but they had called you back no I'm saying if they had called me in 2014 to come back oh no hell nah I would move it I was moving and shaking I was moving and shaking bro yeah yeah because i i knew i knew what veteran minimum was and i was making three times that with what i was doing in 2014 hell nah okay oh no no no disrespect no disrespect to the opportunity but i mean you you got to weigh your options most of the time when you do come back and you get opportunity and you're on the back end and you're old well i need to know how much i'm making that's the first thing you're going to say.

42:10Well, you already know. You're getting veteran minimum. They're going to put some incentives in there

42:14Shannon Sharpe:if you do this, X, Y, and Z. That ain't enough because if you're coming in as a veteran, you ain't going to get the opportunity to hit them goddamn incentives anyway. True. They ain't even going to play that game with me.

42:28Shannon Sharpe:The NFL is reportedly considering expanding the amount of plays that can be reviewed via replay in 2026, Ocho. The NFL is exploring adding reviewable plays including crackback blocks, low blocks, clipping, blindside blocks, intentional grounding, determined receiver position on the field, illegal formation on kickoff, determined feet on the ground when the ball was touched. The NFL rule book currently explains that anything that is not expressly reviewable cannot be reviewed regarding reviewable and non-reviewable plays. Ocho, you like this? Yeah. I mean, yeah. No. I wish they would leave the game alone.

43:05Leave the game alone.

43:07Shannon Sharpe:just leave it alone you remember how they tried to replay pass interference you remember that on show and what a disaster that was yes leave the game alone the game is great as it is you know a wrinkle here and a wrinkle there yes I understand that you're not going to make it perfect you're not going to get they're not going to get every call right you're not y 'all keep tinkering and tinkering and tinkering yeah it's it's too too much too much and i don't know why i mean what what is it what is it about the game currently that the nfl and the committee competition committee and rules committee whatever else what is it about the game that you seem so upset about currently i know they need to allow the game to continue long enough damn yeah yeah don't don't don't lengthen it any more than it already is.

44:04There's enough commercials. There's enough commercials going around to make sure everybody get their money. I understand that we have to have those, but don't slow the game down. Don't slow the game down any more than it already is. I agree.

44:22Shannon Sharpe:Time for our final save of the evening, guys. It's time for Q. Goddamn, Unc. We just started. We moving, bro. We moving.

44:36man what

44:37Shannon Sharpe:hell

44:42hell

44:47Shannon Sharpe:hell OG the Bucks let a team with 19 penalties win this game it happened cousins had a game had one of those cousins moments yeah you know 376 three touchdowns he didn't turn it over so yeah he had a moment he had a bang Kyle Pierce Sr. was sensational

45:21Shannon Sharpe:Ojo what more can you ask for can't Ques 336 Gussie win by them dirty birds Path of fans, you're welcome. Yeah, I'm sure they're saying thank you. Appreciate you. Now they need to take care of their own business on Sunday. Yeah. Blame for Lars Diaz. I just don't understand why Todd won't stop with the soft coverage. They had 28 to go. Todd's supposed to be a defensive-minded guy. It was horrible.

45:59Shannon Sharpe:what you want to do I mean I think the thing in a situation like there you don't want I get it Ocho yeah and once they got the touchdown you saw him brought pressure early but I don't want to give him anything cheap anything deep and because you know you don't get there they got some guys Mooney can get down the field extremely fast yeah you can go now So, look, they had a lead, and then Baker threw that pick. That really gave them a short fielding and really put them in position. So now they got new life. They go down the field. They get a touchdown. They don't get the two-point conversion. And, look, they still had a chance.

46:41Shannon Sharpe:I think, look, this game, it would be a moot point if Baker would have hit Ibuka. Because what he did is that he stopped the clock, Ocho, and they didn't have to burn a timeout. Or he didn't let the ball, it didn't go up to the two-minute warning. Then they threw it again. And it's under two minutes and I still got a timeout. So.

47:07Shannon Sharpe:Hey, J-Dub, Akron. Hey, me and the family will be in Vegas next week. I'll stop in Miami to handle your business for a nominal fee. What steakhouse in Vegas is worth spending$5 ,900 at? Any bottle signing next week? Well, I'll tell you what. hold on before you answer that when you make your way down here make sure you got all your affairs in order with your family your trust and your will before you come on down this way

47:33Shannon Sharpe:uh the wind uh what's the steakhouse and uh the wind has a steakhouse i like the wind um Carver Steak I think that's in the

47:50Shannon Sharpe:Resorts World they got one in Red Rocks I can't think of the name of off the top of my head make sure you hit 8 Lounge in Resorts World too man that man said he wanted to stay out there he ain't trying to go to no cigar bar oh my bad yeah but they got a lot of steakhouses up here worth spending$5 ,900 Tyrese Mann $75 ,000 57 Big Falcons fan here Raheem soft as hell. Too many damn penalties. Love the show. We can finally get, got Pitts involved. I mean, he was coaching. He like, man, I'm straight. But it's not a good look when your team have that many penalties, Ocho. It's not a good look. You can't have 19 accepted penalties.

48:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you win. But had you lost, would it still been okay? No, absolutely not. So they're going to have to fix that up because the owner is looking like, hold on, is that what we coach? Because if we commit this many penalties and we're coaching it, okay, but if we're not coaching it, but are we condoning it, do we jump in people that, you know what, when they make the same mistake over and over and over again? Right. So what is it? Are they not receiving it? Or are you not giving it to them in a form that they can understand it? Yeah. But I need them. That's your job. That's what I pay you big bucks and no whammies for.

49:07Shannon Sharpe:Mm-hmm. JJ Carver, 80. Could have sworn Ocho just had Orange Tire wrapped around his, ride his nugget until I saw the logo. Oh, hey, this is, listen, this is the greatest. This is the greatest Optimist Club Pee Wee football ever. This is where I'm from, Liberty City Optimist. This is our jacket. Yeah, I thought it was an ascot run, you know, Nick, myself. OG underscore Thanos 26. Where does Bijan rank among the best running backs in the league? Well, he's up there. Yeah. Right now, Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor. I'm talking about McCaffrey, B. John. Yeah. Do we leave Derrick Henry and Saquon out because they have it down here?

49:53Yeah, we're talking about right now.

49:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they're not. I mean. I'm just curious. I'm just curious. Jameer Gibbs is going crazy. Yeah, he's going. Jonathan Taylor was playing out of his mind until the quarterback got hurting everybody. You know, you couldn't – you had to – you're like, you know what, we're going to start JT. Yeah. Damn y 'all quarterback. He can't run anyway. Mm-hmm. And now it's about to be even worse. Because – I'm bringing pressure because I know damn well – yeah, A-Chan. A-Chan. I know Phillip Rivers ain't going nowhere. Hey. He couldn't go nowhere 10 years ago. He damn sure ain't going nowhere. He couldn't run at 24.

50:32Shannon Sharpe:He couldn't run at 34. And he damn sure can't run at 44. for. But it's one thing about him now. Oh, he'll light you up. He can throw it now. He'll throw that ball now. Now, we'll see how his arm hold up, Ocho, because I can promise you he ain't been throwing the football a whole bunch. Hey, listen. He might have a funny throwing motion. But you sit there and laugh if you want to. You're gonna look up. He's gonna have about 300 yards on you. Devin Wadsworth, 22. Keep pounding, Ocho. Believed in us when no one else did. The Panthers coming. Yeah, they look good. and I hope so Dave the Dundee 74 much love and nightcap family what is the most fun or had the greatest moment on your memory from your NFL season I was just talking to me and Burns was talking today ain't nothing like that first Super Bowl I was fortunate and I thank God and all of them are special but ain't nothing like that first Super Bowl yeah because that's what I mean you play to win you won the ultimate game that yeah I mean it was nice to go to your first Pro Bowl because like okay I'm one of the whatever they take on I'm one of the 50 best players in the NFL okay I'm an all pro now I'm one of the best you know what 22 22 players in it 25 players in the NFL yeah that's an honor but man where the Super Bowl where the Super Bowl the first one

52:07what you got hey well that's hard huh because you know i didn't have very many moments you know during my nfl career but you had seasons i mean didn't you have a 1600 yard season yeah that that ain't no really no moment though that is a moment

52:27you got to take the victory where you can get them well shoot if i could if i'm taking the victory when i can get him it would be draughty okay drafted hey that hey um i think hey chat to give you you know perspective and context i think if um let's say if all of you you know out there you play the lotto you play the lotto and that feeling of gratification and and that weight being lifted off your shoulders is what it's like getting drafted um yeah like seeing that name go across that ticker you getting that phone call from from mike brown you know what we're deciding to take you with the whatever whatever pick and whatever round it is and you you the crying starts from not not just the pick but think about all the work and all the all the struggles and all the obstacles it took just to

53:14Shannon Sharpe:get to this point that's what makes you cry that's what makes you cry because everything's every all the work you put in it finally boom it hits you and i think that would be that i think that would the equivalent of winning a lotto of of oh my god i got the winning ticket and you just become you you're overcoming you know what i've been stuck that the last greatest i guess it's a fun you had a greatest moment or memory from your last nfl season oh my last yeah you don't really talk about that that much

53:50nah i ain't i ain't really got no got moment that's the reason it was my last shit.

53:56Shannon Sharpe:Moment my last NFL season. You know what? Probably playing the charges. I was AFC player of the week. Three touchdowns. 100 yards. I broke the record for the most receiving touchdowns by a tight end for a career. Oh, you were balling, boy. Yeah.

54:22Shannon Sharpe:Rogue Rogue One, let's see, Rogue One Vo. Kyle Pitts, the first tight end with 150-plus yards and three touchdowns since Shannon Sharp in 1996. Yep. That was, who was that? The Chargers. That was the Chargers in 96. I think I had 13 for$1.56. Boy, you a baller, boy. Okay. I hit him with a sluggo. Wait, you, oh, they, hold on, they had you out wide? Man, stop it. That's why I keep telling people, like, oh, this guy, bro, you better stop. Okay. Boy, I was running sluggo. One time they run a sluggo. I ain't talking about at no goal line where you started. No, I'm talking about I was like 25 yards out.

55:11Shannon Sharpe:What? Ran a sluggo. I run comebacks. I run over. I run stop. Yeah, square out. Okay. I see you, boy. All right, I used to cook the charges. slow walk to millions four five six shout out to the UPS family slow walk to millions Angelo Palmer hashtag go bills let's go Buffalo sorry Ocho can't wait for the podcast Olympics I told Ocho what Buffalo was gonna do man they got Josh did you actually think y 'all was gonna be Josh do you understand we had them boys on the rope now I know we're not gonna act like that do we need to rewatch the game again we had them boys on the rope now don't don't do that hey there was a there was an opportunity there was an opportunity.

55:53We were finna go down to school. Now come on now.

55:55Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what opera what opera you was watching but that tunity left real quick. Okay. Okay. Don't worry about it. Lab 20 Casey. Uncle Nocho, I was curious. Could you guess on why Mahomes doesn't audible plays? He recognizes cover zero and as a huge Mahomes fan I feel like he never changes route. Some coaches don't allow it. 84, hashtag 84, hashtag 85. Go. because it's probably built in. They're anticipating. If you see cover zero, you see. Because we had it. A lot of times we didn't audible. We just see it. Yeah, it's already built in. And there's one player that's responsible for the hot route.

56:35It's already built in.

56:36Shannon Sharpe:You don't have to audible that. Let's go cooking. Ask Tony that I called it offseason and told him. Ask Tony that I called it in the offseason and told him. Tony. I don't know. Nelly Belly, Broncos 11-2. Do you think they have a good chance to make the playoffs? Is that good? Yeah, they got a great chance. They're going to make the playoffs. The question is, are they going to win the division? I think that's the most important thing. Are they going to win the division? Kemper Norwood Jr. Ocho, I love you, but the Bengals are losing to the Ravens on Sunday. Kemper, you're exactly right. They are going to lose.

57:16Shannon Sharpe:Coming in? I mean, are we not remembering every game I go to? No. At Pacor, we win the game? I'm telling you ahead of time. Listen to me. Listen to me. I know football. I know football. I know the Ravens are your team. Hold on. What did you just say? You know what? Football. Why are you saying that word? Did you win on Sunday? Yeah, the Dolphins did win.

1:03:25Shannon Sharpe:Tiger was playing 15 tournaments winning eight a year. Yeah, he was nice boy. And the Tiger Slam. He was nice boy. that concludes this episode of nightcap as the atlanta falcons kicks a walk-off field goal by zane gonzalez to beat the tampa bay buccaneers by the score of 29 28 cousins had an out of body experience he had 30 of 44 373 three touchdowns they ran the ball 21 times for 111 yards and cow pits went off tonight 11 catches above 66 and three touchdowns he became the first tight end with at least 150-plus receiver yards and three touchdowns in the game since I did it against the San Diego Chargers way, way back in 1996.

1:04:12Shannon Sharpe:The Buccaneers losing this game, that means, if I'm not mistaken, the Carolina Panthers are now in first place, if I'm not mistaken. But we'll see if they're going to do something about it. Maybe they can consolidate this thing by winning on Sunday and gaining a little bit more separation. because Tampa has the head-to-head, if I'm not mistaken, the head-to-head meeting over them because they've already beaten them one. But since they're in the same division, they do play again. Again, thank you guys for joining us.
