19:51Yeah.

19:53Shannon Sharpe:As somebody that's been where J.B. is, it's tough. It's tough when you think somebody loves you, but they don't love you like you thought they did.

20:09Shannon Sharpe:uh oh cho you ain't hear me now

20:13Joe Johnson:come on i hear you now i'm picking up what you're putting down you find out that the person that you loved didn't love you nearly as much as you loved them

20:30Shannon Sharpe:there are times that you and and and and you know you're injured and you go play You hurt, you go play. Your knees, your back. I hear the basketball, Joe, I hear you say it. My knees aching, my back aching, but I want to get out there. There's a lot of that going on. And I don't want to make this mutually exclusive to JB. But the way he went through, and it's just the blatant disrespect. But you should have had some clue, JB. Because even though I might not love it, I might find out, but there are things she was doing that led me to believe that she didn't love me like I loved her. Yeah. Take your time.

21:11Shannon Sharpe:Come on now. There are only so many girl trips I'm going to allow you to go on. What? Come on now. Because I know. Come on now. I done been to the place where the girl showed up. Hello. But she on a girl's trip. Hello. But y 'all ain't ready. Yeah, nah, nah, nah. Come on, come on, come on, come on, pastor. Come on, pastor. Yeah. Yeah. Take your time. Take your time. First of all, you know when you call and you've been laying there and she talking to her guy, I'm sleeping. Oh man. Huh? Oh man. And then you wonder why when you call, she ain't picking up your call. You wanna say, because you already know what it was.

21:58Shannon Sharpe:Say it ain't so. Come on, man. Say it ain't so. Say it ain't so.

22:02Joe Johnson:That ain't nothing but, hey, hey, hey. Hey, we caught, you see it. Say it ain't so. Come on now. Huh?

22:07Shannon Sharpe:I done went inside in the hallway. Hey, I don't wanna hear your conversation. I'm sitting in the hallway, I'm sitting in the hall. Take your time, go ahead now. Hey, hey, cause he make a turn, hey, let me see your room. He on FaceTime, let me see your room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, so you lay low and play slow? Huh? You lay low and play slow. Hey, Joe, I've been there before. I hear him talking. I'm in the closet. Yeah. Oh, let me get out of the closet. OK, give me a second. Let me cut the lights on. Every time, every place she go, I'm leaving. Yeah.

22:53Yeah.

22:54Shannon Sharpe:So I just say, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go on out here in this hallway, so therefore I don't got to worry about nothing.

22:59Joe Johnson:Hello. Hello.

23:01Shannon Sharpe:But I've been there.

23:02Joe Johnson:Boy, it's a game within a game. But you think, you know, Joe, you think Jalen Brown may understand that the nature of this business has always been like this. He's been playing the game of basketball long enough, especially at the highest level in the NBA, to understand how dirty this business is. Once that stigma was out there that they feel he's smarter than everyone else in the room, you know, whatever it may be. Oh, man.

23:34Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all want the word tonight, right? Y 'all say give y 'all the word. I'm gonna give you the word tonight. I don't think y 'all want the word tonight. That's what I'm gonna do. Okay. Yeah.

23:48Joe Johnson:Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Before we start preaching, let me get the good book. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

23:53Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Uh-oh. They weren't ready for this.

24:03Joe Johnson:I got my good book now. You know. Yes sir. I'm with you when you write. You know how you met her.

24:16Shannon Sharpe:My grandpa used to always say boy if she'll cheat with you, she'll cheat on you. Hello. Hello. Hello. Y 'all ask. Come on pastor. Hello. If a man will rob God, will you not believe that a woman will cheat on you? Hello. He's speaking metaphorically, he's speaking metaphorically, because you can't rob the man. Yeah. But he said you rob me in your tithing, your offering. But she cheat on you in your time when you the least expect it.

24:52Joe Johnson:Come on now.

24:59Shannon Sharpe:Who was that?

25:07Shannon Sharpe:I was reading the passage today. I don't know who it was. Who was that? But he said, be careful with the tongue. Uh-huh. Because the tongue, there's sin in the tongue. So your tongue will cause you to sin.

25:24Joe Johnson:Hmm.

25:25Shannon Sharpe:Hmm. Huh? Hmm. JB had to find out what all this talking JB all this talking all this if you with someone and somebody constantly telling you man I saw your girl mmm I saw your girl man hey hey hey man check this out you still with old girl yeah yeah why you say that man I saw her off in the cut with something yeah yeah it probably was nothing Yeah. What you mean it wasn't nothing? Is she off in the cut and she my girl? The hell you say it wasn't nothing?

26:08Shannon Sharpe:So this thing had been brewing. Joe, every time somebody was a trade with the Celtics, JB name was the only one being brought up. Yeah. Hell, they didn't even mention Al Horford. They wasn't mentioning Holiday. They was mentioning JB.

26:29Shannon Sharpe:The thing is, the blindest man is not the man that can't see. It's the man that chooses not to see. JB chose not to see what was right in front of him.

26:44Joe Johnson:JB know how dirty the business is. He got to understand that. In all sports, the business is the business.

26:53Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to open up the door on the church. Oh, man. Now, y 'all know at Faith Christian Baptist Church, we preach prosperity. Now, don't put no change in here. God don't like noise. God don't like noise, Joe. Now, he said in Malachi, he asked a very simple question. He said, would a man rob God? He's speaking metaphorically, as I said earlier, because he knows you cannot rob God. He said, but you do it to me in tithing and offering. He says, if you tithe, he says, I'll open up the windows of heaven and plow a blessing out. You will not be able to receive it all. The doors of the church is open right now.

27:42Shannon Sharpe:And that's 10%.

27:45Joe Johnson:And that's 10%. I'm in a manger

27:50Shannon Sharpe:on Christmas morning

33:45Shannon Sharpe:The Browns QBs through five training camp practices. Shadour Sanders is 72 of 107. Six touchdowns, one interception. Deshaun Watson, he's 71 of 115. Three touchdowns, six interceptions. Dylan Gabriel is 40 of 58. Three touchdowns, three INTs. Shadour has been putting on the show every practice. Day five, the Browns trying to help. Ended on a high note for the offense. Shadour hit Gage Lavarden for a touchdown on the final play as the offense went crazy.

34:18Joe Johnson:Yeah. Hey, they got a nice little competition battle going over there. Joe, you hear me? They got a nice competition battle going over there. On my Instagrams and on my Twitter feed, obviously, most of the teams, all of the teams in training camp, but I've been seeing most of the Brown stuff with Shadour and Brother Watson going at it. You know, this is really a good, this is a good thing to have. It's a good thing to have. It's a healthy competition between both of them. I love Shadour, right? And understanding the nature of the business, being played for a very long time. What it comes down to, a lot of people in the chat, I want you to have a better understanding is I love Shador.

34:56Joe Johnson:I would love for Shador to actually start. But you think about the business side of things and how much money they poured into Deshaun Watson. And now with him finally being healthy, despite I think what Shador may do, even if he's out playing him right now in training camp, which he very well may be doing, I still think the Browns... You still think they're going to start Deshaun? Simply because of the money. That's it. Simply because of the money that they owe him. Hey Joe, you understand how much he making this year?

35:25Shannon Sharpe:I get that Ocho, but Todd Monkett ain't come over there man to be, he come over there to win. He come from a winning pedigree, bro.

35:33Joe Johnson:Yeah, hey listen, hey Joe, I'm with you and you're right. But Todd Monkett don't make the decision at the end of the day. But that come from the top. The man that cut the checks.

35:39Shannon Sharpe:Jim and D Haslam and what's the guy, what's the DM name? Jim and D owns the team. Yeah, that come from the top, Joe. I think the thing is Joe, and Ocho, me personally I think Shadour is playing, I mean, he's playing. I agree with you. But I think Shadour is outplaying him. He's so far playing so much better than Deshaun is right now. Now, look, this is practice. We'll see. We're going to find out in the preseason. How much does Shadour play? Yes. Because there might be a situation. If he only gets a series, excuse me, Chad, and Deshaun goes in there and they have to play more, Shadour's starting.

36:17Joe Johnson:And, you know, and the funny thing about it too, Uncle Joe, is I'm glad that the race is as tight as it is because now it forces both of them to stay locked in. You got to stay locked in. There's no clear favorite. There's no clear favorite. You don't think so. And I'm just going from a business aspect of it. I'm thinking like an owner. And when you're paying somebody that kind of money, Joe, listen, you're going to have to show me what you do. You're going to have to earn this money.

36:45Shannon Sharpe:We can't keep thinking back talking Ocho to when Deshaun was in Houston thinking we're going to see that. We're not seeing that again, bro. Everybody's been too long, Ocho. Yeah. We're not seeing that. You got to realize that was – I mean, he hadn't played. Think about it. His last season that he started, Joe, he led the league in passing yards. But the next year, remember now, he didn't play that year. He sat out because that's when the news broke. So he sat out that year. Then he missed the first 11 games, played five games, comes back, gets hurt, missed 10, 11 games, comes back, gets hurt. So it's just hard to miss that kind of time at an athlete at this level.

37:34Shannon Sharpe:It's just hard. It's just hard. Yeah, that rhythm and timing, bro, you can't compensate that. You know what I mean? For him being out for so long and then coming back, you know, with all them injuries bogged down, I really don't think the race that damn close me myself. If y 'all just want me to keep it 100, I don't think it's that close, bro. I just think you give it to Deshaun, I think y 'all give it to Deshaun the benefit of the doubt because of the money that he's making. But the act test, when you out there, if you the head coach, if you tied monkey, man, you trying to win some damn games, Uncle Joe.

38:06Shannon Sharpe:I agree.

38:07Joe Johnson:Hey, Uncle Joe, Joe, I'm with you when you're right. you hear me i want you to do a shooter to start i would love for you i would love for him to pick up we left off last year you got to stop thinking like how we thinking if they like outside yeah you got to think like how them owners thinking the one cutting them checks i want the person who i'm paying 40 million a year to be behind center now when he's not playing well and we behind the eight ball and not giving giving us as a team a chance to win then i'm making a move. Well, I think, you know what,

38:40Shannon Sharpe:Ocho? I think because they want to get off to a start because they know if they start off slow based on that division based on the AFC, they can't, they're not going to be able to make it up. I think, I think they're leaning towards, I would say there's better than a 70 % chance that your door starts. That's what

38:56Joe Johnson:I'm saying, man.

38:57Shannon Sharpe:Okay.

38:58Joe Johnson:Yes, sir. Yeah, I don't know. It's a good one.

39:02Shannon Sharpe:I like it though. I think the thing is not, Ocho. I think they think that they can win some games. Hey, we can win some games here. Absolutely. They locked down Denzel Ward. They got Jared Burst who's looking for a contract. He see where these numbers are going. So I expect him. Look, he's not Miles Garrett, but he ain't no damn slouch. And I think he's going to have a hell of a season.

39:28Joe Johnson:Absolutely. And the people in the chat, I need y 'all to think like an owner, like a GM. think think think ownership like we love should do i'm sure all of us love should do it but you have to also think like an owner when it comes to making these decisions everything is based on money but the way they think i want i want y 'all to understand that as much as you you just want to ignore it you know what boom i want you doing there yes we all do but that's not the way they operate it's just not you know so i like the fact that what they have going on in training camp is a close race. It's a race where I'm hoping both quarterbacks don't play timid.

40:12Joe Johnson:They play freely. Don't be afraid to take chances, you know, because this is something that that team needs is a quarterback that has the will and the free will to be able to play, you know, at his greatest peak. Because if you don't and you try to go out there and not play to your capabilities, responsibilities, yeah, it's going to be on that bench.

40:35Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Brown's rookie wide receiver, Casey Conception, who left practice today with a shoulder injury after a hard fall, but he did not suffer anything serious. He's a teammate expected him to be fine. First round picks had a strong start. The training camp. We like him. We had Joe, you weren't on there, but we had him on. A great young man overcame some things. You know, he had a speech impediment that he's working his way through. and me and Ocho, we got him lighting up and talk about his girlfriend, what he's going to prepare for Valentine's Day. It was a great conversation. He was a great young man, and so we want to wish him a speedy recovery.

41:13Yeah.

41:14Shannon Sharpe:But I like what the Browns have done in the offseason. I love Harold Fanning Jr., the receiver. What's the guy they got? Bond? Is it Isaiah Bond? Bond. Isaiah Bond. Outstanding wide receiver. Junkin. can run the football. They got a nice little nucleus. Concepcion can get healthy. I like them. Jerry Judy got to step up. He's really that simple, Joe. He's got to step up. He's the veteran on the team now. It's time for him to be the top draft. He was a former Balitnikoff Award winner, a big-time player at Alabama. His first year there, he was sensational. it's time for him to get back to that. Judy, you're that type of receiver.

42:05Shannon Sharpe:If you believe, if you are what you believe you are and what you showed your first year there, you gotta duplicate that. You gotta be able to make those plays for what you're doing. Absolutely. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I seen Jay and Judy vouching hard for Deshaun Watson too.

42:23Joe Johnson:Yeah, I didn't see it, but I guess he was on the fan. And that with TikTok, Joe, that with TikTok and Instagram.

42:31Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Well, hey, that stuff gets you in trouble now, Joey Jones. Man, you can't do nothing nowadays. I mean, don't even ask me nothing about my teammates because I ain't got nothing for you. Because you're going to take it. It can be perceived as a slight.

42:51Shannon Sharpe:I think, who was that? Jalen Hurts. He was saying something about everybody buying in and such a fun. and you know what you think he's saying? You know how that's going to be construed. Yeah. Everybody buying it. Joe, you already know.

43:09Joe Johnson:Yeah, absolutely.

43:10Shannon Sharpe:So anytime you say something, look, hey, my job is to go out there and make plays for whomever the quarterback is. That ain't my job. They don't pay no extra salary. They say, we're going to pay you an extra$15 ,000,$20 ,000,$100 ,000 to help us decide who's going to be the quarterback. Until they put that right there in my clause, I ain't got nothing to say. Whoever throws me the ball, I'm catching. I'm coming down with it. Y 'all make that decision. Yeah. Because I already know y 'all ain't finna put me against my teammate to try. Oh, what Shannon said, Shannon ain't say nothing. Absolutely right.

43:42Shannon Sharpe:That's how they twist it up like that every time, man. Hell yeah. They clip bait you, clip farm you, and next thing you know, they got you saying something outlandish, it seems like. I just think the biggest thing is that they're going to have to protect your door. Obviously, he's not the most – he's a prototypical old school 50s, 60s – well, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s quarterback who is a pocket passer. Yeah, he is. A good one too. He's a very good one. So, you're going to have to protect him. Yeah. He's not a guy that's going – he's not Josh Allen. He's not Lamar Jackson in the pocket. He's a Tom Brady Peyton Manning that can slide, you know, phone booth quick.

44:19Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. So, a quick step there and get the ball on. But he also is going to have to know, you know what, sometimes, son? They got me. I can't hold the ball. Hey, it's second and 12. Yeah. Or second and 10, it's third, throw the ball away. Just don't make a situation worse. By taking a sack, getting knocked out of field goal range, Ocho, putting the ball in harm's way, fumbling the ball. Harm's way. And I think having those last, well, I don't know how many games he would have started, last six, seven games, Ocho, something like that. I think that's going to go a long way with it because there's nothing like playing.

44:54Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you can learn like, okay, yeah, okay, I see some things. You go ask the guy at the quarterback what they see and why they do this and why they do that. But at some point in time, you're going to have to get your ass out there. Hello. I can tell you how to fish. I can tell you what lure to use. But at some point in time, Mocho Joe, you got to go fish for your damn self. You got to. Me. So hopefully it's Shador has learned some things from last year. He's able to follow that. I was great to see his old man, Ty, about there with him, talking through some things. I know that would've been a topic of discussion.

45:29Him being on the field.

45:33Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. That's that man's son. The practice, y 'all make it seem, they made it seem like the man on the damn field doing practice. Practice over. And hey, I like what Todd Monkhan came out and said. He was like, man, I'm glad he's here. Like, you know what I mean? Like, welcoming him with open arms, bro. Like, I don't think, you know, we can't sit back here and turn a blind eye to what happened last year and who the head coach was and obviously things that they've been through, you know, with the Sanders family. They played a major role, man. I don't care what nobody's saying.

46:08Joe Johnson:For sure it did. Hey, hey, hey, I'm looking at people in the chat, you know, how you read off the stats in practice. People in the chat talk about it's not even close, oh, the interceptions. Man, Chad, man, y 'all, they are not basing anything on who's starting based off your intercept you're throwing a goddamn practice. You're playing against a team where everything is scripted. Relax. My goodness, man. And they be cheating. Defense be cheating. They be looking at the play. Every yeah, because they they know what's coming. They call the right defense purposely for the play that they're running, hoping the quarterback makes the right decision with the ball on where to go with the ball.

46:48Joe Johnson:The only time they don't get the scripted, don't you? It's two minutes. Yo, that's the only, yeah. That's the only time you go for what you know,

46:56Shannon Sharpe:we going for what we know.

46:58Joe Johnson:Damn. Y 'all a trip, man. Now on Sundays, hey, it's fair game. Now you throwing them intercepts on Sundays. Yeah, obviously. Now that's another thing.

47:07Shannon Sharpe:But look, the one thing I do know is time, time has always been scrutinized. He's always been the best. And so it comes with a lot of scrutiny. he understands that he's done a great job of handling that scrutiny but he's been a devout father above anything else no matter what you think of him he love his kids and if y 'all think y 'all criticizing him what's being written about him what's being said about him what's being talked about him and that he's gonna change his love for his kids nah no chance no chance whatsoever he ain't supposed to

47:47Shannon Sharpe:He's been there and stay in the fight time. Get it right. AJ Brown says he dislocated his thumb in Monday's practice. It's tough. I tried to get back into the flow state zone really quickly because obviously you're going through some pain. The game is what it is. You're going to get bumps and bruises and you have to keep going. I know it's practice, but I'm not coming out of practice. Thumb out of place, you keep going. AJ dislocated the same thumb back at Ole Miss in 2018. Ocho, what is the biggest concern about a receiver dislocating his thumb?

48:23Joe Johnson:Nah, none at all, especially with dislocated thumb. He'll be fine, Uncle Joe. You just tape from the wrist, from the palm, right around the thumb, and you'll be fine. Take some of that pressure off. They put a little pad right here in between the thumb area right on the palm. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. Yeah, yeah, Joe. It's dislocated.

48:46Shannon Sharpe:From catching the ball and people slapping, sticking their hand in there. That's a nagging injury. That's a never hear. If they didn't report it, I would have told that because I'm going to slap. If I'm a DB, what I'm going to do with Joe?

48:57Joe Johnson:Joe, you good, Joe. I done played with dislocated pinkies on both hands, Joe. all I did was they taped underneath taped it together once they taped my palm and the finger I put my glove on and I taped the two fingers he'll be fine

49:12Shannon Sharpe:oh you dislocated your thumb both my pinkies at the same time

49:17Joe Johnson:you see them things that thumb make a big difference bro

49:21Shannon Sharpe:hey just think about it if you cut that thumb off you out there try to catch a ball come on man come on Ocho that thumb make a big difference it hurt because if you don't catch that ball right, hey, Joe, you know sometimes you catch the ball wrong and it hurt anyway. Yeah, yeah. And your hand, your fingers are good. What I did, I used to wear, I wore a thumb guard because mine would slip out easy. So I put a thumb guard to keep it from being bent back or keep it from going like that. But like you said, Ocho, some people do tape it. A lot of D linemen tape their hands like that get boxers fits and stuff like that because they're constantly shooting and you get your

50:03Joe Johnson:thumbs bent but that is painful yeah it is it is man yeah one one one thing about it is ain't nobody sitting out for no dislocated no that ain't i ain't saying they gonna sit out but it it's gonna

50:21Shannon Sharpe:linger a little bit hey man you don't understand how much you need all your fingers and your toes until one of them get hurt. Hey, until one of them hurt? You ain't got to tell me nothing. Hey, Joe, I done been there, Joe. This was my right. I had the thumb guard. I ain't got this. It's still in my locker. Well, it's back in Denver. But the thing is, you know what's so hard, Joe, Ocho? And this is what I always, always was afraid of, Joe, Ocho, is that going to a new team and get hurt. Dang it. Yeah, oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

50:59Shannon Sharpe:You're no worried, you know. You know, I keep, you know, I keep here on standby, Joe. So I keep here.

51:08Joe Johnson:Hey, what, what that is? Hey, I thought you had on some purple and gold. Hey, Uncle, you pledge Omega? Oh no, hell no.

51:17Shannon Sharpe:The Wonder Twins, y 'all remember the Wonder Twins? Activate, form of a glacier. I do. Form of a polar bear. Yeah. Nah, I don't know. You don't remember the Wonder Twins? Ocho one watching cartoon. I ain't see that one. I ain't see that one. Chad, I know y 'all remember the Wonder Twins.

51:35Joe Johnson:I thought Unc was Omega, Joe.

51:37Shannon Sharpe:Nah, nah, nah. Unc don't take me. He don't take me for that type.

51:43Joe Johnson:Shoot, man. Unc number one on this show. What you mean he don't take you for that type? Oh, you saying he number one?

51:47Shannon Sharpe:Oh, nah, nah, nah. He number one for damn sure. Nah, nah, nah. Don't do that, Joe. Don't do that. Don't flip on me, Joe. Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You for show number one. Nah, I just don't see him doing all that wild stuff. You know them - We had a great turnout. I mean, you know what I'm saying? I hook you up, hook you up to a place. Great food, great atmosphere. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't wanna pig out, but them group of bites was jumping. Hey, y 'all want some more about me? My bad, I ain't mean to talk to you. My bad, my bad, my bad, my bad.

52:21Joe Johnson:Hey, where y 'all went somewhere without me?

52:23Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Joe, they calling me Creflo, no dollars in the chat.

52:31Shannon Sharpe:Hey, yeah, y 'all know I passed the TD fakes. Look at it, look at it, look at it. Yeah. No, but I think that's the frustrating part about AJ is that he got what he wanted. He wanted to be, he wanted out of Philly. good, bad, indifferent. You can say whatever you want. Hey, it worked out well. He went to Pro Bowl. Went to two Super Bowls. They won one. But I told Ocho this. I said, Ocho, if you win the Super Bowl and you go to Pro Bowls and you still not happy, Ocho, it's just time to leave.

53:11Joe Johnson:Yeah, it was time.

53:13Shannon Sharpe:Joe, that's like, okay, Joe, you become an all-star. You go, you win the championship. You go to two NBA finals, you win one. Yeah. And you like, man, it ain't what I thought it was. I thought it was gonna be. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a slap in somebody's face. Yeah, I know it.

53:29Joe Johnson:You know what he want, Unc. Unc, he want that ball. That's one of the things he complained about a lot, not being able to get the ball as much as he likes. Cause you know why, Ocho?

53:38Shannon Sharpe:Tell him why. You see what Puka doing. You see what JSN doing. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You see what Chase doing.

53:45Joe Johnson:Wait, hey, hold on. You do remember when we talk about the top five receivers in the league, A.J. Brown's name was always in that conversation, right? His name is no longer in that conversation despite the Eagles winning. You know, I mean, listen, I know it's supposed to be a team sport. Yes, it is that. But also along with it being a team sport, you still want to remain one of the best at the same position when the conversations come up about the position that you do play. I mean, his name was completely out of it. I can tell you one thing this year in that offense where they throw the hell out the goddamn ball his name is going to be back in that top five conversation hey I can tell you that because if Stephon did could do what he did last year coming off a goddamn ACL what you think a healthy

54:28Shannon Sharpe:AJ Brown for the dude yeah but the thing is even though then though I don't know Ocho because you know Puka still got he still got Matthew Stafford and Chase still got Joe I understand I understand

54:41Joe Johnson:and I saw Drake May play last year. Drake May had a hell of a season.

54:48Shannon Sharpe:JSN's like, I kinda like being a 99. I don't know how Pookie in a 99. How Pooka's not a 99?

54:55Joe Johnson:He will be, huh? You know, I'm in charge of the ratings. I know a lot of people complaining. A lot of people complain about the ratings and who is this and who is that. Everybody's exactly what they supposed to be. Some people need, hey, hold on. Some people need a little bit more motivation. Well, you motivate them. Which is why they're not a 99. Now I wish y 'all in the chat that played Madden, let me do my job. I got people charting exactly what they need to be. Just to add a little bit of motivation before the shooting is hard. I know what I'm doing.

55:26Shannon Sharpe:They need to give me some platinum shoes. Cause Joe, I was a hundred at one point.

55:32Joe Johnson:In Madden? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's back when they knew it. Don't do that Ocho.

55:39Shannon Sharpe:I guess who else was 100? Barry Sanders? Who? Deion Sanders? Hold on, hold on.

55:46Joe Johnson:To be 100 now, you got to be that boy. Oh, yeah. Hey, Uncle's that boy now. We ain't gonna see him playing, act like he was. Oh, that's what you're telling me.

55:55Shannon Sharpe:That was him.

55:56Joe Johnson:You would like that now.

55:58Shannon Sharpe:I really was, Joe. I really was.

56:06Shannon Sharpe:What he grabbing over there now? No, I ain't got to take one of my helmets. I got to take to my guy at BMW. He hooked my car every time I go. What, he gave you some rims? No, no, no. I had a bolt in my tire. A who? What the hell is that? A bolt. I had a, like, it was not a nail. It's a bolt. Yeah. And it.

56:28Joe Johnson:Oh, I ain't never heard. I ain't never heard that before. I did. How the hell you get a bolt in your tire?

56:33Shannon Sharpe:Don't start me to lie. but it was in there but uh nah but we gonna get that but I just I just hate that for AJ because I remember when I went to Baltimore guys and and uh OTAs I tweaked my hammy

56:53Shannon Sharpe:man that's the same thing I remember I told y 'all that's the same thing happened to me when I signed with the Hawks that same summer bro I'm playing flag football and tweaked my hammy yeah man Man, that thing linger halfway through the season.

1:00:01Shannon Sharpe:Bro.

1:00:06Shannon Sharpe:Uh-oh. Dak Prescott's patience is wearing thin with the Cowboys. Going into year 11, I'm not going to shy away from it. When you don't have it sucked, when you don't get to play for it, when you're watching other teams in the playoffs, like there's nothing worse than that. Why shy away from it now? Why shy away from it? and people asking, holding me to the same standard that I believe I can accomplish and the team can accomplish. Oh, Joe, what's really going on? Hey, hey, hey. I like that. I like that. Talk your junk, Jack. I like it, too. Don't shy away from it. But at the same time, we get in that damn same position we was in when Green Bay came in our house and put up...

1:00:45Shannon Sharpe:48. 47. Come on, man. 47, Joe. Green Bay did it to you. Aaron Rodgers did it to you. And then the Rams did it to you. Everybody just be beat y 'all down though, Joe. All right, that's enough. Not too much. Not too much. Not too much. Not too much.

1:01:00Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe, can I tell you something, Joe? I like the Cowboys. You hear me? I ain't got no problem with the Cowboys. Now I know I made fun and I was kind of upset that I knew they was going to play games with NBA, with NFL young boy and not really give him his money, make him prove himself again, which is obviously to me, all that is is the ownership saying we don't believe you can do it again and we don't trust you to give you what we think you're worthy of long term, boom, whatever. He signed it. He's going to play. He's going to repeat it again. The Achilles heel for the Cowboys, and the only issue the Cowboys are going to have is what are they going to do on defense?

1:01:36Joe Johnson:Offensively, they're a juggernaut. They're going to be straight. As long as CeeDee stay healthy and Pickett stay healthy, you have a very, very good running back, and Dak can get it done. For them, it's going to be defense. What are we going to do defensively? For one, can we stop the run?

1:01:51Shannon Sharpe:I agree. Ocho, I think the thing is, Jerry said that he has a – they got an opportunity now. He was talking about the Max Crosby. Yeah. And they said, well, why didn't you revisit it? Jerry said, who said we didn't? Mm. Ooh. Now, the reports are that he has a trade. He's talking to a team about – he didn't say offensively. He didn't say defensively. I think they're loaded on offense. I think they have enough offensively. I think defensively, they can definitely use another pass rusher. I heard the problem that I believe they're going to have, even if it's not during the season. How do you pay pick$43 million and C.D.

1:02:29Shannon Sharpe:Lamb's your number one and making$34 million?

1:02:33Joe Johnson:Man, listen.

1:02:34Shannon Sharpe:You know that's going to be the problem, Mocho. You already know it.

1:02:36Joe Johnson:Yeah, and listen, it's a good problem to have. It's a good problem to have. I just don't see how it's going to happen. Somebody's going to be upset. That's my point.

1:02:45Shannon Sharpe:That's my point with him signing in Dallas. I'm not saying he's not going to get his money, but it's just going to be hard to give him. And now, Joe, the problem that the Cowboys are going to run into is that you made him play that one year on that franchise tag. So he's not going to give you a discount now because you put him in harm's way. You made him swim in shark-infested waters. You made him walk across the Savannah with the Lions. Yeah. So now I got to tax you. So now there's a 20 % tax on what I would have made on top of that. Hey, I agree. I agree. What year is C.D. Lamb and his contract?

1:03:22Shannon Sharpe:When did his contract go, Uncle Ocho? He signed a four-year extension. So he probably, what, two years into it, Joe? Ocho? If you signed a four-year extension, I think he signed four years, which means he had two years still left on the – so basically it was a six-year deal. So normally after the three years, they tear it up because you start getting to the back where they ain't no more guaranteed money, Ocho, but you got big, big cap hits. And so now we just like, okay, we're going to give you another 55, 60 million dollars, put more vulnerable years on the end, and we'll just kick the can down the road.

1:04:02Shannon Sharpe:But it's just going to be hard to see your number one, and then you pay your number one making 34, and the other guy comes in and he's making 43, 44. But he going to come back up, though, and he going to get his money again. So you going to have two receivers making 40 million? Man, if we win it, we ain't got no choice.

1:04:25Joe Johnson:That ain't happening.

1:04:26Shannon Sharpe:You do realize if you win the Super Bowl, how much you going to have to pay Dak? yeah I'm sure Jerry yeah I'm sure hey I could tell you this 88 ain't going nowhere nah you hear me 88 ain't going nowhere no time soon no that's Jerry draft I just don't see I

1:04:48Joe Johnson:I just don't see a scenario where they can with Pickens who is going to have another good year CD's going to have another good year you know and I think Pickens won't be there after this season I'm hoping, I'm hoping they can come out the NFC and compete for a championship, you know, and make everybody happy after a very long wait, including you, Joe, and other Cowboys fans, but it's a good situation to have, and while you have them there, you want to make the most of the opportunity right now. You want to make the most of the opportunity you have right now with such a crazy offense, just can the defense stand up and do what they need to do when it matters most.

1:05:25Shannon Sharpe:the Cowboys have a new name for their offense G-O-T-I greatest offense there is damn we putting that pressure we want all the smoke man hey

1:05:40Joe Johnson:honestly Joe why O 'Tan's glasses off when he said that I thought you

1:05:46Shannon Sharpe:normally you did something the greatest show on turf what did they do Ocho did they win something

1:05:53Joe Johnson:yeah they did

1:05:55Shannon Sharpe:they did um but can i can i can i say the the monsters of the midway the purple people's eaters they did right this great curtain come on joe yeah y 'all used to be how to do they defense right hey hey can i say something though hey that offense is hell though uncle joe that all you think it'd be better than the 07 patriots oh ain't nobody gonna be better than those would would it be better than the 13 broncos 606 points 5477 passing yards five guys with double-digit touchdowns

1:06:36Joe Johnson:nah

1:06:40Joe Johnson:completely different completely different type of offense but i tell you one thing it's gonna be what about the 98 vikings hey hey why are you in the moss with moss with most christmas hey hey that's bombs over bad man hey y 'all just respect a respect our confidence

1:07:00Shannon Sharpe:respect our grind man the greatest the greatest offense that isn't oh because you ain't did

1:07:06Joe Johnson:nothing come on man come on damn damn you just thought of that one well they said it is i said is it don't worry we're going hey we're going to show y 'all don't worry about it hey they give themselves names i give them one two hell yeah i'm gonna blame it on you with everybody ass i'm gonna say man oh it's okay but with that yeah yeah hey i'll tell you one thing them boys them boys gonna be fireworks on offense i'll tell you that yeah healthy boy they they got it

1:07:40Shannon Sharpe:D-O-T-I okay greatest offense that isn't go ahead Joe there is Jerry Jones ever decided to sell ownership shares outside of investors in the future it sounds as though he's considered Mark Cuban that's exactly why if you're me you would be open to that because of the man I have all the respect in the world for him and I know what he did for the Mavericks and he's done for basketball so you want to associate with the highest quality of a person who loves the game and then also, it's time, wants to do something about it. Mark leads the way in that aspect. If I'm not mistaken, I think they value the Cowboys' Forbes at$13 billion.

1:08:21Shannon Sharpe:So, even 10%, that's$1.3 billion, Ocho. Damn. Now, you saw, what you call them, just went for what,$9.6 billion? Seattle? Yeah. Every owner get a cut of that. Y 'all do realize that when they sell their franchises, every owner get a cut of that. So, I don't know. It's hard to break because it's so perfect. Now, you got 32 teams, Ojo. You got eight, Joe, eight, four divisions. You can't get any more perfect than that. But 10, 12 billion is hard to say, nah, we don't want to expand. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Woo. hey man we need to put we need to peace up a little bit man see we can get us a list what's up we guess all i can all i can afford is the gatorade i got the gatorade i got the gatorade for about two three years i ain't even hold nobody hey once upon a time man think about

1:09:27Joe Johnson:it joe what you joe what you trying to do i'm trying to get you up to jump in oh i'm i i'd than i'd rather you know put my little money towards a soccer club okay put a little you know five ten percent all right you know somebody like i could see see me a little return you know five

1:09:47Shannon Sharpe:ten years from now okay i mean that i'm gonna i i think if uh smith robert smith uh he's one of the richest black man in America. I think he's worth about$8,$8.5,$9 billion. I think, you know, at one point people thought he was going to purchase the Broncos, which would have been a good investment because in three years they've increased$2.2 billion. They've gone from$4.5 to$6.8 billion in two years. Hell of a return on your investment.

1:10:29Shannon Sharpe:Hell, I remember when Alan bought the Seahawks from Ken Barry. It might have been less than$200 million. Just sold for$9.6 billion.

1:10:45Shannon Sharpe:And he sold, they sold the Trailblazers for$4.3 billion. So that's about, what,$4,$13, that's about$14 billion right there. One swoop. Mm-mm-mm-mm. That's crazy. Damn.
