Jacksonville is a beautiful place and the people would love my presence. They would love my presence to be there. Hey, Duval, matter of fact, Duval, you come out too. Some people, they told me to go to the block or they told me to go to Cigar International, but I just want to go to a place, Uncle Joe, where all the fans gather and watch the game so I can see the feet on their face after every touchdown, after every first down, and I just want to get up and I just want to just go crazy and piss everybody off.

13:11Huh?

13:12Shannon Sharpe:No, I ain't been to Jacksonville. I'm trying to think, when's the last time I been to Jacksonville? I ain't been to Jacksonville in 30 years. Damn. Damn. What you were doing out there?

13:21Chad Johnson:Huh? I said, what'd you do in Jacksonville? No, no, I went out there.

13:25Shannon Sharpe:Leroy, Leroy Butler had a get together and I went out there to show support. Oh, okay, all right.

13:36Shannon Sharpe:I went to the zoo, right? I don't know, hey, Chad, did Jacksonville still ain't got a zoo? I went to the zoo? When I was in high school, went to the zoo one time. What'd you mean you was at the zoo? What was going on at the zoo? I mean, you know, we had a field trip. Oh, yeah.

14:01Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah. Hold on. No, I went to – no, I should say that. We played – I was in Baltimore. Last time I went to Jacksonville was 2001. Caught the game winning touchdown. You used to call me the Jaguar killer, Ocho. Oh, really? Hey, that's what they used to call me that too, huh? Caught two game winning touchdowns against them and caught the game winning catch just out of the field goal.

14:25Chad Johnson:Yes, sir. Man, what was it about Jacksonville? The Jaguars. They like to play, they play man coverage.

14:31Joe Johnson:Yeah, hey, hey. They fall bomb blitz. Hey, hey, Joe. Hey, I always had a time, every time I had an opportunity to play the Jaguars, Joe.

14:38Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Because they play man?

16:41Joe Johnson:Yeah, why not? Because you know what my receiver is going to do every Sunday? What are they going to eat? Come hella hot water, they going to be open. Oh, okay. That's it. We ain't going to have the scheme, nothing open. Every offseason, y 'all with me, all six months. What they working on? Footwork? Footwork. Bunch of ladder drills. Manipulation. Playing half a man the whole time. Understanding defenses. Understanding coverages. Knowing what's coming before it comes. You learn about shit talking, playing mental gymnastics with your opponent, get him to talk back because it's a mental game. If you get him to talk back, that means you got him.

17:18Chad Johnson:Yeah.

17:18Joe Johnson:Huh? Tell you, boy, it's the type of knowledge can't nobody else give. They need me. They need me out there, man. I already know it. Didn't catch the latest Roland Martin Unfiltered podcast? Here's what you missed. And the argument is, do you want to win? If you don't win, you have no power. It's real. Those are the very people who I always say vote against their own economic interests, and they complain about the very thing they're receiving. It's raw. I knew that the issue of transgender athletes was not going well with a lot of black men. Roland Martin unfiltered. I went off. I said, this is exactly what I'm talking about.

18:29Shannon Sharpe:Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill posted on X. I think I'm ready for some cold weather. The post comes just two days after Hill posted. It's almost time for him to get off the couch and get to work. Rick suffered a torn ACL last September and went unsigned through the offseason and while he was rehabbing. Ocho, Joe, where would you like to see Rick land?

20:01Joe Johnson:One just went down with a neck injury. Joe, he out for the year. The one that's been killing? Jalen Reed, no. The one been killing is probably Christian Watson. Matthew Golden. Hey, Matthew Golden has come on really good in the second year, too. He coming on strong.

24:51Shannon Sharpe:want nobody to compete against Cincinnati you see what you're doing Joe I already know that's why

24:54Joe Johnson:he didn't want to go to Pittsburgh hey what I want to think about that I'm looking I'm looking out for the best entry to Tyreek and it ain't playing in Pittsburgh yeah I don't like Pittsburgh for me though Joe yeah hey Joe I appreciate that Joe because the chat agree with me too I like Kansas city for him though can you imagine they have two bodies you got taekwondo you got

25:20Shannon Sharpe:xavier worthy you got reek you got rasheed rice and kelsey that's too damn much exactly it looked good on paper but you got what you got in the backfield you got k9 nah i don't like it uh you got that whole dog back go post sale go on the other side we got two goals We got a post, and we got a sale route. What you going to do, Ocho?

25:50Joe Johnson:Play zone. Okay, go ahead. And keep everything underneath. Are you going to play cover, too? That's how you stop that.

25:58Shannon Sharpe:K9 going to run you out the building. Hello. K9 going to run you out the building. Don't drop a safety down.

26:07Joe Johnson:Ooh, Bahama will be bombs over Baghdad. I mean, they should be bombed over Baghdad right now.

26:16Shannon Sharpe:Don't you worry about that. You worry about Cincinnati. What y 'all going to do?

26:19Joe Johnson:Oh, we're going to be fine. I told you, we're going to put BTA to Jaguars. BTA.

26:25Shannon Sharpe:Hey, Trevor, don't you take another knee at the one-yard line. You get that damn ball in the end zone.

26:29Joe Johnson:Hey, I got a question. Does that call come from the sideline? Remember Saquon did it? I don't know what he was thinking. Remember Saquon did it in the game last year?

26:37Shannon Sharpe:Well, Saquon did it because of the time on the clock. Bro, they had eight minutes in the game. Why did he do that?

26:43Chad Johnson:Why did he do that for real?

26:45Joe Johnson:And it happens all the time. And people ask me, and I don't even know.

26:50Shannon Sharpe:Brain lock? Brain lock? Hey, you know everybody's talking about, see, I told you the NFL was fixed.

26:57Chad Johnson:Yep. Can you imagine how many people, you know, he probably messes up some people.

27:03Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Fanatics gave people their money back their bet because they bet on Trevor Lawrence's anytime touchdown. Wow. damn yeah what if I put Tyreek in Cincinnati no

27:18Joe Johnson:no too much he won't get the ball enough yeah

27:24Shannon Sharpe:now I can put Chase in the slot let Chase work that slot nah

27:30Chad Johnson:look at Joe hell no I'm trying to

27:34Joe Johnson:I'm purposely putting him somewhere where he's going to be a viable target right now as soon as he get out on the field.

27:42Shannon Sharpe:All right, well, I'm putting him in San Francisco then.

27:44Joe Johnson:They got too many pieces.

27:46Shannon Sharpe:What they got? Mike Evans might be out. What's wrong now? Pierce all gone. Who else they got?

27:54Joe Johnson:You got Kittle. You got McCaffrey. Because McCaffrey's not just a running back.

27:58Shannon Sharpe:A running back. Oh, yeah. Reek going to 49ers. He said he wants to go. 49ers of Baltimore. Or he go. Or Kansas City.

28:09Chad Johnson:He got to be worked in. Okay, Ocho, you can't throw that man in the fire. You know what I mean? Yeah, they're going to work him in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give him a few snaps here and there. Working back in lightly. Don't throw that man out there gunning now.

28:26Shannon Sharpe:Sean McVay says the NFL told the team that the defensive pass interference should not have been called against the quarterback, Josh Wallace, in the Sunday night loss to the Broncos. On third and sixth at the 11-yard line, Wallace intercepted Boat Nix but was flagged for pass interference on Pat Bryant, giving the Broncos first and goal at the seven. The Broncos scored on that drive to take the lead with 47 seconds. I don't even know why they do that, Ocho. All you do is make me madder now. Yeah, you knew the call was wrong. Because I told you at the time it shouldn't have been a flag.

28:55Joe Johnson:Go ahead, guys. They knew the call was wrong, Uncle Joe. They knew that. Remember when the Saints played the Rams? What year was that?

29:02Shannon Sharpe:In that championship game, yeah. Yeah.

29:04Joe Johnson:I think 2018? 2018? The ball didn't even get close. Didn't even get there. He didn't hit the man. It's no call. It wasn't that C.J. Gardner-Johnson that hit him. It wasn't? I think so, Joe. I can't remember exactly who it was. But it was a great play. It was a great defensive play. And to make a great defensive play like that, right, and to get called for a flag, then they actually replay it. The rest of the world can see unless you're a fan of the team, unless you're a Broncos fan, you're like, okay, cool. It's P.I. if you a football fan you know good and well that one pi not the fact that they reviewed it and they still upheld it as a passing appearance knowing good and well it wasn't that's what i'm saying and pat bryant selling it and flopping like somebody really why are you putting your head back come on man the man is behind you what you doing that's what i'm saying i'm saying

29:56Shannon Sharpe:hey my team benefited but i call bull job but we'll take it It's not.

30:02Chad Johnson:But why come out and see this now? I told y 'all that night. I told y 'all that night. I said, man, come on, man. They want to come on, bro. Yeah. I can't believe it. It was 2018. It's like, how are you looking at the replay though? Okay, Ocho, you look dead at the damn replay and figure it out. Come on, man.

30:18Shannon Sharpe:But they didn't, they weren't looking at the replay. They were just, NBC just kept showing it because there is no replay for pass interference. They had it in, Ocho, remember they had it in, but they took it out. Right. And they say, well, maybe it's time to revisit it. But that was just NBC just reshorting it to see if he passed interference. And I didn't think it was either. But don't tell – it's like the two-minute report, Joe, in basketball. Man, don't tell me about no call because I tried to tell you at the time that was a bull jive call or it wasn't a no call. It wasn't a this or a that.

30:50Shannon Sharpe:And y 'all went ahead and called it. And now you're going to let me know after the fact? I feel worse. I'm more upset now. because guess what y 'all are going to say okay y 'all gonna give us the win because we had the lead and if that interception stands guess what we get the ball back with 47 seconds and we win the ball game yeah so with that being said unless y 'all changing outcomes of the game don't tell me it was a pi or it was this should have been called or that should have been called because all you're

31:21Chad Johnson:do is piss me off even more man that's crazy bro hey look i think i told this story before but uh we played the miami heat when i was playing for the hawks um and we had to start a game that

31:36Shannon Sharpe:we previously had already played i remember that joe yeah we had to start in the fourth quarter

31:43Chad Johnson:with like three minutes left that's how we started the game we had to finish that game and then we you restarted a whole nother game because of, because of something that happened in a past game. So I'm like, damn, if they did us like that, why they can't do that? Why they can't do that in other sports?

32:03Shannon Sharpe:Huh? In football. They can't do that in football, Joe. Nah, they ain't had to. Yeah, you can't. You can do that in your shoe. The most you go get is go get what Cleveland and Tampa did. A three, four hour delay and go play the game. But you ain't finna get no game play. You ain't been getting no situation like that.

32:21Chad Johnson:Yeah. Maybe we had to replay a whole nother game. Then start a new game. That was crazy.

32:29Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, but in a situation like that, guy, I don't even want to know. Because all it's going to do is make you more upset, Joe, don't you?

32:35Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. Especially when you've been pleading your case already. You're like, man, I'm telling you, you know, it wasn't no P.I. And now it take you a whole damn day or two to come back and tell me what I've I already told you, you know, in the thick of it. Come on, man. Yeah, and matter of fact, the funny thing about it too, Uncle Joe,

32:55Joe Johnson:is the refs, they all try to do their best job to have the highest scores because they are graded on the games based on the call that they make, whether they get them right or they get them wrong, to be able to compete, not compete, to be able to ref the Super Bowl.

33:08Shannon Sharpe:Well, you want to work playoff games. You want to get, you know, the higher you score, then you're going to get playoff games, and then eventually, you know, hopefully you high enough, you get the Super Bowl.

33:16Joe Johnson:And listen, you make a mistake like this, clear as day, after you huddle up, after you watch a replay, I mean, come on now.

33:24Chad Johnson:You kiss the damn Super Bowl goodbye. You ain't reffing it in the Super Bowl. That's what you get. It's over with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go. It's over with.

33:34Joe Johnson:Didn't catch the latest Roland Martin Unfiltered podcast? Here's what you missed. And the argument is, do you want to win? If you don't win, you have no power. It's real. Those are the very people who I always say vote against their own economic interests, and they complain about the very thing they're receiving. It's raw. I knew that the issue of transgender athletes was not going well with a lot of black men. Roland Martin unfiltered. I went off. I said, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Y 'all gonna scream at Chanel, but you don't want to see a black luxury company in the same vein.

34:14Shannon Sharpe:Catch Roland Martin's daily commentary on the Black Information Network. Twelve seats.

34:32Shannon Sharpe:or wherever you get your podcasts. In order to entice Jalen Durant to sign his five-year,$200 million contract, the Detroit Pistons has removed the wait clause from the contract. This would have required Jalen to weigh in monthly throughout the year as part of an incentive deal. But according to Sam Amick, Durant is reportedly pissed even more that the fact that the Pistons are in front office, Trajan Langdon compared his situation to Zion Williamson as players who were difficult to deal with during media day.

35:09Shannon Sharpe:According to Amick, the disrespect is going to be even a greater level. Langdon Full comments. It's the first time I've ever had to handle it here. I was in New Orleans for five years with a certain player, and it wasn't easy to deal with. So I do have experience in that. And so I look at these times. We can control what we can control, and that's how we operate. Joe, he was in New Orleans. We're in the situation with Zion. on it now it appears to me and joe you correct me if i'm wrong for you to put a clause in there like that you believe his weight became a problem right right you you're absolutely right huh i don't

35:50Chad Johnson:i think the only time they do that is when they feel like guys have weight problems whether you've gained a substantial amount of weight over a short period of time again ocho because the heavier that you are in basketball like I always talk about is quick transitions is quick sprints your first two to three steps in basketball mean everything so Jalen during uh uh the fact that he that that maybe his weight has gone so high it maybe takes away some of his activity on the court his quickness his durability you know things of that sort so hey man the thing about it is when you really that dude, bruh, they don't really put all them stipulations in there.

36:31Chad Johnson:You know what I mean? I understand it from time to time because you got some guys who kind of obviously need it. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, to stay on the straight and narrow. But Durant don't strike me as a guy who needs a weight cause. He has a nice man's body. You feel what I'm saying? I just think this whole situation with Jalen Durant and the Pistons, it just didn't got ugly. Okay, Ocho. So, seriously, you done got ugly. After the trade contracts hasn't met Durin's expectations, and obviously, hell, the Pistons feel like it's too much.

37:03Shannon Sharpe:I don't see the Pistons going to 5-284.

37:06Chad Johnson:Nah, I don't know where we go from here. Now, are they preparing a sign-and-trade? Because it's hard bringing in a star-caliber guy like that, and he's going to be disgruntled for the season. You don't want that, bro. You're right. You don't want that. So, they got some choices to make, man. I think it's 24 hours for him to make a decision, right?

37:25Shannon Sharpe:They gave him 24 hours and said either take this one-year deal or sign the five-year deal. But my thing is, Joe, if he what he think is, I'm going to sign the five-year deal knowing that I'm being at the table in three.

37:38Chad Johnson:Yeah. Yeah. But you got to – hey, that's a hell of a bang, though, when you consider the fact that he's really not an offensive threat like that. He's your muscle. You know what I mean? He's your muscle. He's the grit and grind guy that you got to have in that post interior. Because in the East, the East is thick, bro. Think about it. You got Carlton Towns. You got MB. You got guys who you going to have to challenge for that Eastern Conference.

38:08Shannon Sharpe:Giannis and Bam.

38:10Chad Johnson:Who? Giannis and Bam. Oh, yeah. Giannis and Bam. The Eastern got real different this year, Ocho. Hey, it's a whole different story, boy. I've been watching the training camp stuff too, man. Hey, everybody off to a pretty good start. You know, it's early. Everybody going to feel good. By the time everybody leaves training camp, everybody going to have a little knickknack. They going to be sore as hell, boy.

38:33Shannon Sharpe:But the question is, Joe, it seems like Detroit is unwilling to go to 284. Right. Now, are you willing to roll the dice, take a one-year$10 million deal with the hopes? I don't know if I would I don't really like to speak on a man's money but I'm taking the 200 million and I'm going to play my ass off in three years y 'all come back and see me

38:59Chad Johnson:man listen I'm with you I'm taking the 200 you taking the Joe? yeah I'm taking 200 Ocho he's a good player Ocho don't get me wrong any team I'm playing on You got to have a guy like him. Yes, sir. But them guys don't make that type of money, bro. But the fact that he's a bruiser, a hardworking blue-collar guy in Detroit, that's their makeup, bro. That's who they are. You know what I mean? He fits. He fits. He fits with that city. So it's hard, man. It's hard because the Easton got better. So you give him$200 million, now you got all this money tied up between him and Cade. Hell, he going to have to produce.

39:41Chad Johnson:We need good productivity from him. in order for us to be at the top of the East again.

39:47Joe Johnson:Hold on, hold on. He had good productivity during the regular season last year, but he was averaging 19 a game. Well, Ocho, the East has gotten better.

39:55Chad Johnson:Hell, Bruin over here, Kawhi over here. We got, hey, Giannis over here in Miami. Like, New York, I mean, the Detroit Pistons was the number one seed in the Eastern Conference last year. Hey, man, I don't think nobody got them being number one this year.

40:09Joe Johnson:Well, it's impossible for them to be number one when he's going to be number one. So I understand exactly where you're coming from with that.

40:15Shannon Sharpe:He got a guard. In Miami, he got a guard, Bam or Giannis. In Philadelphia, he got a guard in Bede. Hey, you might want to be safe. I agree. You know, Mitchell Robinson is not an offensive threat, but Mitchell Robinson is a big body. Yeah. That eats up a lot of space.

40:34Chad Johnson:Yeah.

40:35Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. As a prime defender. Now the question is, can he get him in foul trouble and get him out the game? But then you come back with Quater.

40:43Chad Johnson:They got some hardworking dudes in Boston. Okay, Ocho. They got some hardworking dudes. I like, man, they each going to be different.

40:52Shannon Sharpe:My thing is, Ocho, I'm taking that first contract so I can secure the family. Right. He's 22, man. I secure the family, and then I come back, like I said, in three years. Because, bro.

41:05Joe Johnson:Hold on. Think about this. What if he doesn't want to gamble? What if he wanted to take that chance? he doesn't want to take that chance and he wants that 284 because those three years what happens if he gets hurt if he gets hurt he get 200 million

41:19Shannon Sharpe:what happens if he get hurt he took the 10 million dollar contract you think he'll see a

41:24Joe Johnson:284 or or to expedite the process and not have any issues on the back end give me my 284 which i'm eligible for and we'll worry about everything else on the back end but see the thing is it's

41:37Shannon Sharpe:It's the same. He's going through the same thing Joey Porter Jr. is. Yeah. Joey Porter Jr. thinks because his contract is up, he's in a – I don't think anybody – and that's just me. But I don't think anybody in the NFL look at him as a Pat Sertain, a Christian Gonzalez, a Stingley, a Quinone – I don't think they look at Joey Porter like that. Do you look at Joey Porter like that, Ocho? I mean, no. No, he's very good at what he does. But because his contract is up and he saw all these other guys get that, what does he think? The market is the market. This is Jalen Durance thinking. He's thinking, my contract is up.

42:11Shannon Sharpe:I made third team all NBA. And a lot of that had to do with a lot of guys didn't meet the quota. So you got bumped on the third team. So I don't look at him as a Supermax player. I don't. It ain't my money. But I don't look at him. Supermax players, those are guys that are reserved. That's a Jokic. That's an Ant-Man. That's a Shea. That's a Luka. You looking at him like that?

42:37Joe Johnson:No. Hey, FYI, since you just mentioned Joey Porter, he just got traded to the Cowboys.

42:42Chad Johnson:Get out of here.

42:44Joe Johnson:Hey, Joe, I wouldn't, I lied to you before I lied. Where you seen that at, man?

42:49Chad Johnson:Where you seen that at?

42:51Joe Johnson:No, I'm for real. The Steelers and Cowboys are finalizing deals sending cornerback Joey Porter Jr. to Dallas. I wouldn't lie to you, Joe. Hey, Ocho, think about this too. Unc, you see it?

43:06Shannon Sharpe:Uh-uh.

43:08Joe Johnson:Yeah, Tom Pilarisso.

43:10Shannon Sharpe:Tom Pilarisso?

43:11Joe Johnson:Yeah, I'm surprised Adam Schefter didn't get that first.

43:14Chad Johnson:Hmm. Think about this. What if Jalen Duren doesn't really love the game of basketball like that and he's just trying to capitalize on as much money as he can make on this deal? Because I don't know, man. Man, I think for a guy who really truly loves the game, 200 M's, bro. I mean, what we talking about? I'm 22 years old, Uncle Ocho. Boy, I'm right back.

43:43Joe Johnson:Dude, 284. You mean to tell me I can get my 284 and then come back three years later and hit you across the head again?

43:51Shannon Sharpe:No, you can't get 284, cause they ain't gave it to you. They tell you, they say you get 200 or you can take 10 million and roll the dice. damn

44:03Joe Johnson:somebody gonna have to budge and it ain't gonna be the player i can tell you that what do you mean i think it's gonna be a player because i got it right for another year

44:12Chad Johnson:ojo you gonna go into the season and play it one year yeah no it's stacked as stacked as the eastern conference is the chances of y 'all finishing number one in the east like y 'all did last year man that's that that's slim bro i don't know if taking i ain't taking i'm gonna keep it real but 200 i'm signing that i'm not taking no risk i ain't taking that risk not that kind of you know the risk i'm gonna take i'm gonna take this 200 and boy i'm talking about when i come back in two to three to four years i sure hope y 'all got that damn brink truck ready you hear me yeah i'm gonna cut up i'm gonna cut up they might play with they might play with him too no not if he not an a a not if they didn't got to the final, at least gotten to the finals.

44:55Chad Johnson:Now, they ain't going to play with you.

44:57Joe Johnson:And if they don't get there, then what?

45:00Shannon Sharpe:Well, he wasn't worth the 284 because he didn't help them get there.

45:03Chad Johnson:Right.

45:04Shannon Sharpe:Remember? You saw him in the postseason, right?

45:09Chad Johnson:Yeah, he seen him. He know what's going on. Don't let that man play crazy.

45:13Joe Johnson:I ain't playing crazy, but now you understand. Now you understand why he won 284. I know. But you understand now why they don't want to give it to him.

45:25Shannon Sharpe:That was a good one. I'm just basing on what I see.

45:33Shannon Sharpe:Like I said, I think Supermax contracts should be, and I get it, you make an all-NBA team or you're an MVP, I get that, a defensive player of the year.

45:49Excuse me.

45:53Shannon Sharpe:I just don't see that. I don't see that in him. I'm not saying that he shouldn't get his money. I believe he should get his money. But based on what I've seen, I ain't giving him a Supermax contract because I don't believe he's a Supermax player. That's just me.

46:09Chad Johnson:Hey, look. And Detroit don't want to do it neither. That's why it's taking so damn long. Let's not be crazy, okay? Yeah. They don't want to have to get no Supermax. Nah.

46:18Shannon Sharpe:All the players. Hey, think about it. They didn't do it. J-Dub ain't have to wait. Paulo Van Carol didn't have to wait. Chet didn't have to wait. Ain't none of them. They slapped that 230, 240 out there like it was nothing.

46:30Joe Johnson:Them superstars, though, huh? Oh. Ta-da!

46:38Joe Johnson:Hey, you consider Chet a superstar?

46:41Shannon Sharpe:No, I'm saying he got a what you call him. He got a 240. He didn't get the 284.

46:47Joe Johnson:Right.

46:48Shannon Sharpe:And he didn't get the, you know, I don't think he got the trade, the 15 % trade kicker. There's some things that he gave because he's like, I ain't finna roll no dice based on my history.

47:00Chad Johnson:Yeah.

47:01Shannon Sharpe:And I came in and got injured.

47:04Joe Johnson:Right. Okay, give him 240 then. I'll talk to him. Give him 240, we good.

47:11Shannon Sharpe:I think they done drew the line in the sand where they going with it. What did the man say? He said, hey, take it or leave it.

47:19Chad Johnson:Yeah, they tired of going back and forth.

47:21Joe Johnson:where he gonna come in and have a back problem like Joey Porter then.

47:26Shannon Sharpe:That's all right. Guess what? He'll have a back problem making$10 million. He ain't gonna have no back problem making$200.

47:38Shannon Sharpe:That's where we are with this, Ocho. For me, I'm not turning down$200 million because that's an opportunity to secure my family forever. Man, what are we talking about? At 25, I'll be right back. To run the risk of signing a$10 million deal? No, hell no.

48:01Shannon Sharpe:No. But, okay, that's him.

48:11Shannon Sharpe:That's on him. I don't see the Detroit budget. They say, okay, we'll take the weight clause. But you say they take the weight clause. Now, they could add another$20 million to it and say, okay, we'll do five for 220.

48:26Chad Johnson:Well, right now we're playing a waiting game. We're going to see who's going to budge, who's going to blink. We're going to see who's bluffing, God dang. Yeah, who's bluffing? Because, hey, Jalen Duren might just take this thing to the brink. He might just play this one year. I mean. That's on him. I wouldn't do it. That's me.

48:42Shannon Sharpe:I ain't in his shoes. Ain't either. It's hard to walk away from$200 million, Ocho.

48:49Joe Johnson:Yeah, you sure got to be sure yourself, boy. Play that game, boy. That's a dangerous game.
