Nightcap Hour 2: Rory McIlroy STARTING To CRACK at the Masters + Eagles TRADE for Dontayvion Wicks + Play OR Fade + O’Shea Jackson Jr. DEFENDS his DAD

18:49Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about as an organization, we got to have a serious discussion. I ain't discussing it with you. The hell? What decision your grandparents made that involved you? Not one. Here's a list of what we think about buying. What you in on this? Here's what we think about putting in the house. Grown-ups don't make no... My grandfather used to always say, boy, don't brash with a child. You tell the child what to do. So, in a situation like that, I'm not informing Aaron Rodgers. I'm going to say, look. Now, I will say this, so we don't get him all blindsided, because you know, the most sensitive players on the football field are the quarterbacks.

19:35Shannon Sharpe:Always. We're in agreement. Always. We're looking to draft a quarterback. how high is to determine whether or not somebody falls. But I say within the first three rounds, we're going to take a quarterback. Boom, that's it. That's it. You're going to piss him off. That's all right. He'd be okay. He still want to cast them checks.

20:04Shannon Sharpe:Because guess what? You don't. imagine if green if green bay didn't have a jordan love how pissed off they would be look at the teams that that waited look at look at what miami did because they didn't have a succession plan with danny yeah and they didn't have a succession plan uh uh and so everybody doesn't have a green bay situation where you go brent farve aaron rogers jordan love that's that's luck. But that's because the quarterback put them in a situation they had no choice. They didn't have a choice, Ocho. Brent kept jockeying them around. Aaron Rodgers, well, I'm thinking about retiring.

20:45Shannon Sharpe:I don't know. I just want to be in a quiet, dark room. And I just, you know. And so the team didn't have a choice. They got tired of that. Yes! And that's the only position, depending on who you are, where you can play them damn games like that. you ain't playing that game at no other position. They're getting you up out of there. I don't care how great you are. Other than that guy, that position, not a said guy, that guy. Because first of all, you're going to be that guy to play those type of games. No average guy ain't playing those type of games. But to be that guy, and you know you have the leeway, you are an MVP, or you've won MVPs, or you're that level of quarterback, you get a lot of leeway.

21:31Shannon Sharpe:a lot of leeway that other players and other positions don't get. No. But I understood that. Mm-hmm. Who didn't know that? I didn't take advantage of it. No. I didn't take advantage of it. Quarterbacks have the privilege and the star players have the privileges. And I'm like you. I didn't take advantage of it. No. That's the whole part of being a leader is not taking advantage of the privilege that you've been given.

22:00Oh Aaron Well you know you coming back man Because if he decides not to come back Oh my goodness Boy they gonna be In a heap of trouble over there

22:11Shannon Sharpe:Yeah they gonna be in a heap of trouble But it's their own fault Because when they could have When they could have Did something about this They saw Ben wasn't the same guy He had taken too much punishment and he's he was starting to slow down you saw it right before your eyes but they're not to tick him off okay he's still happy with it ain't really replaced me now look at you

22:40Shannon Sharpe:dang pending all your hopes on a 42 year old that probably by this is his last year yeah or you might try to keep hitting you might try to keep hitting them one for ones because you have to think about it. No, I'm moving on. I'm moving on after this year. I've got to find me a long-term fix, Ocho. Where's the long-term fix, huh? If I got to go into the draft, then draft one.

23:07Man, I got me. I feel you. I feel you.

23:13Shannon Sharpe:So what? Just keep going. So just keep going these one-year deals with Aaron Rodgers and not get in the future. And then when he decides to retire, what about – Where am I? Hey, you find that successor now. You go into the draft, you can't. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, but ain't nothing... Franchise quarterback? Have we seen anything like that? Look. Mm-mm. Just because you don't think a guy right now looks like that. Ocho, I got to try. Right. You seen Aaron Rodgers at Cal? Yes. He looked like that. You seen Pat Mahomes at Texas Tech? He looked like that. Let me ask you a question. If they'd have brought Aaron Rodgers in right away immediately and played him, how do you think he looking?

23:59Shannon Sharpe:Nah, it's a good thing he sat behind Britt. Exactly. And my homeboy, my homeboy, sometimes it's great to come in and get a bird's eye view and see how people do think, how that position is played, how you're supposed to play the position. And who knows? Maybe Aaron Rodgers is still that guy. But I think he benefited from having an opportunity to sit behind Brett Favre for three years and learn. I think Mahone boy had an opportunity to sit behind Alex Smith for a year and learn. Some guys, hey, they get to sit. Carson got to sit. Yeah, but they making too much money now. They not letting anybody sit.

24:37The rookies are making too much money, especially if you draft them high. Anything pick one through five is not sitting. We paying you, what, 30, 35? probably 40 plus

24:50Shannon Sharpe:million dollars be guaranteed this year. They throwing your ass out there to the Sharks. You better figure it out because I'm paying you money. Not sit down and sit behind a veteran quarterback. Absolutely not. You're right. And it's ruining him because you saw what he did to Anthony Richardson. He was a top five pick. You said he was a project. And instead of developing that project, building that project up with a strong foundation, you threw him out there. There's no patience, huh? They want instant gratification. These owners and GMs want instant gratification and instant success right away, especially if we pick you high.

25:28You're the person who's supposed to change our franchise. That's why we went and got you. You are our answer. You are our future. You are our 10-year future. We don't have to worry about any position. We're supposed to build around you. That's basically what it means.

25:44Shannon Sharpe:It does. But have you set me up for success? What do you look like from an offensive line standpoint? What do my receivers look like from a receiver standpoint? What is the system? Are the coaches, have you set me up to success with the structure in which I'm going to be in? Most of the time, no. Right. No. They just think guys are supposed to come in. Everybody ain't Andrew Reed. Everybody doesn't. Everybody doesn't. Because in order to do some things, you have to have solid footing. Kyle Shannon has that. How many quarterbacks do you think could have made that? And you give up all those draft picks for the number three pick in the draft, and he gone after a year.

26:30Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Trey Lance. Yeah. See, you got to have strong footing in order to do that. Right. I mean, think about it. You got Alex Smith. wins the playoff game. And then you're like, you know what? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We take it a quarter. I mean, Alex Smith is playing well. But Andy just felt this offense could be so much more dynamic if I had a stronger arm quarterback. And those are the decisions that you have to make. See, it's not that it's a lot of times it's those decisions that really define GM, head coaches, and things like that. It's the tough decision. Right. You win an Ocho, you're like, man, hey, we win 10, 11 games a year.

27:20Shannon Sharpe:But there's something that's deep inside of you saying, we can be so much more though. And seven AFC championship games later, five Super Bowl appearances later, three wins later, it's hard to argue. It's hard to argue. And so, we'll see what they do. But I think they have to. I think the Steelers are going to have to get a quarterback. Now, maybe you're right. Maybe they believe in Will Howard. But they believe in Cody Pickett. And they believe in Mason Rudolph. Okay. With A.J. Brown future uncertain, the Philadelphia Eagles have added to the receiving core head of the 2026 draft, Ocho, the Eagles have been a quarterback.

32:11Shannon Sharpe:I'm sending Green Bay Packers a 2026 fifth-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for Dante Wicks. Wicks, who's going into the final year of his rookie contract, will reportedly sign a one-year contract extension for$12.5 million. Wicks, 25, was a fifth-round draft pick in the 2023 draft. during his three seasons with the Green Bay Packers. Wick has caught 108 passes on 180 targets, 1 ,328 yards, 11 touchdowns, and averages 12.3 yards per catch. I mean, the writing is on the wall. Can we see it now? Huh? Maybe it's in hieroglyphics. The writing is on the wall. I mean, it's been that way.

33:02It's been that way. And I said it last year. I said it during the season. I said it in the off season. Anytime we do talk about it, you know, the Eagles are planning to make a move. And there's a certain situation that's going on. And people are talking about integrity and talk about ethics and talk about this person. I mean, blah, blah, blah. And listen, nobody moves the needle or makes decisions outside of the GM and the owner. They are not influenced by anybody else.

33:29Shannon Sharpe:Nobody. You and Ocho talking about it. You and this person talking about it. Yes, the media. Man, you think the owners give a damn what the media say? They don't care. They don't care what me or Ocho or what anybody say. They're going to do what they're going to do. Always. Always. I mean, we talk about franchise. We talk about billion-dollar entities. You really think anyone outside of that has influence on their decision-making? Like, come on. Let's be serious, people. Come on. They don't even let the players that's playing for them influence what the hell they're doing. How are they going to let somebody outside the building that's not even inside the building influence it?

34:04Come on, man. But outside of that, I mean, it's been enough. I think it's time to move on. I think A.J. doesn't want to be there. We've seen enough of that. He was frustrated this season. The second year in a row.

34:20Shannon Sharpe:He was frustrated even after he won the Super Bowl, and he was frustrated. So he's even more frustrated now because guess what? He see what those guys are doing. He say, Chase, don't miss a beat. He said JSN done come on now. Look at Puka. Man, Devontae Adams come over there to a whole new team. Yeah. And lead the league in touchdown passing. Somehow, all these great guys, these coordinators can find ways, and their quarterback can find ways. I call a play, and they can get me the ball. Somehow here, we still haven't found a way to consistently get me the ball. Now, I ain't putting it on nobody.

34:52Shannon Sharpe:I'm not saying it's the coordinator. I'm not saying it's the quarterback. But all I do know is that I play a dependent position, and I'm dependent on my quarterback and my coordinator putting me in the situation and the other guy throwing me the ball. And I'll be damned if we can't do that consistently. Yeah, I mean, I understand. He was, I mean, frustrated, frustrated. Yeah, for sure. The year before that, he was reading the book to keep himself calm, keep himself relaxed. So this year, I mean, same thing again. So that's two years in a row. You think he ain't going to sit around for a third year of the same?

35:23Absolutely not.

35:24Shannon Sharpe:It got so bad. Absolutely not. And the owner had a conversation with him. And people like to say that that got out. Had it not gotten out, how would you have known that Jeffrey Lurie and AJ had a conversation? Somebody always leaking it, huh? Of course. But it had gotten to the point that Mr. Lurie felt some type of way about it. Probably said, you know what, AJ? hey, let's try to make the best of this situation what we have currently. I understand your frustrations. Howie's explained it to me, X, Y, and Z. He don't know no plays, but anyway. Howie's explained it to me. Yeah. And let's try to make the most of this season, and then after the year we'll try to make a decision that works best for both of us.

36:18Yeah. I think this is the second move I think they've made at the receiver position, if I'm not mistaken.

36:28even with A.J. Brown not there, I think they'll be able to make up for some of the production, maybe not all of it, but the Eagles will still be a dominant team. They still, and the NFC East, wait, no, it is NFC East, ain't it? NFC East. Yeah, in the NFC East. Dallas, Washington, and the Eagles. The Eagles, yeah, they still going to make their head. Giants. They still going to do what they want to do, but I mean, A.J. Brown he just needs a new change of scenery I said long ago before all the you know what was going on, I said it would be the Patriots I said it would be variable because of the situation and the relationship that they had when he was in Tennessee so it just made the most sense him going to New England, so we'll see what happens June 1st or is it June 20th?

37:19Shannon Sharpe:June 1st Yeah, June 1st. That way you can spread it out over two years. And the cap here is not as significant as it is. Right. Yeah. So, look, I just think the thing is, Ocho, we've been talking about it. I just think everybody just wants to move on, want a fresh start. It's okay. There are irreconcilable differences, and we choose to part on amicable terms. Yeah. Not a bad thing. irreconcilable differences and the split is amicable.

37:58I don't know. Them boys good though, man. Them boys good.

38:02Shannon Sharpe:I ain't happy. Have you seen a situation? Oh, I'm telling you. How have we seen men and women in a situation? They got everything. Fly private and you got diamonds and you get cars and you get X, Y, Z and I'm just not happy. Yeah, it happens. all that at the end of the day what about my happiness no crying from the yacht but hey some people

38:29it happens you can get everything you ask for and it's still not enough fly eagles fly I don't know the rest of the song but I love that thing

38:43Shannon Sharpe:I just hope AJ gets somewhere he can be to give him an opportunity to play like he thinks he can play and then go from there. Because right now he's not happy. No. And I don't think he's the best he can be. And it's hard to be when you don't know. I mean, you go from one game, you might catch nine. The next ball, you might get three balls thrown at you and catch one. Mm-hmm. It's hard to play like that. It's time to play a fade presented by PrizePix.

39:27Shannon Sharpe:Miles Bridges. Excuse me. The Knicks play the Hornets tomorrow. Miles Bridges will have.53 points. So he'll make one. That means he'll make or he'll attempt. I'm going more. He's going to make one. Then he's going to make one. Because they shoot 50 a game. So, Mello's going to get his. Knipple's going to get his. The guy that you like from Alabama is going to get his. Miles Bridges is going to get one.

40:02Shannon Sharpe:All right. Indiana, Detroit. So, Thompson, four and a half rebounds.

40:12Four and a half sounds so goddamn easy. It sound easy.

40:20Shannon Sharpe:More.

40:26Shannon Sharpe:The Lakers in Utah. DeAndre Ayton. Under seven rebounds. More. Lord have a good answer. I don't know. I don't know what it do. I don't know what Ayton I'm going to get. Hey Well hell You know what Aiden you gonna get He ain't got no choice But to But to insert himself Insert himself and do what?

But plus you got to realize he has the ball in his hand. His left arm right. Wait, huh? Is it his left arm? The Heisman guy got the ball in his left arm and he do it like this. Oh, my bad.

43:22Shannon Sharpe:His name happens to be Ice Cube. So Ice Cube's son isn't letting anyone diss his dad post-1990 movies. Cube namesake came to his father's defense on Twitter when someone wrote, no offense, but why hasn't your dad been in a good movie since the 90s, like straight garbage since the 90s?

43:43Shannon Sharpe:This is what Junior said. I could say the 21 Jump Street series. I like 21 Jump Street. All About the Benjamins, good. Fist Fight, Lottery Ticket, not good. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not good. There's been four franchises since 2000 began. Barbershop Trilogy. Are we done yet? The sequel TV show, Ride Along. It looks like Ride Along is getting done again with Ice Cube and Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart. Yeah. Two more Fridays, technically. It's five. You know, we're not going through this. Man, we're not going to let y 'all do this to Cube. He done doing it to... Man, look, no, no. Hey, Cube, hold on.

44:19Cube done been in some good movies, huh? Yes. You know, he done had to show his range, you know? He can get serious. You know, I'm not sure. somebody being goddamn picky. Somebody tried to rage bait.

It was good. It was good. Ride Along. Hilarious. Kevin Hart crazy ass again. 21 Jump Street was good. I didn't see that. I didn't see 21 Jump Street. With a... Isn't that one with Channing Tatum?

45:09Shannon Sharpe:I think so.

45:15Shannon Sharpe:What else we got? There's Fridays.

45:20Friday. Friday's iconic. Friday's a movie that you can watch no matter where you see it. if you catch it on TV, you watch him from right there at that spot. Friday's up there with Boys in the Hood.

45:31Shannon Sharpe:Oh, the first Friday is a classic. It's got to be in your rotation. Oh, easily. It's got to be in your rotation. I don't care. If I'm flipping the channels and I see Friday, if I'm flipping the channels, I see Harlem Knights, if I'm flipping the channels, I see Life, I ain't going no further, and I'm going to watch it. Oh, yeah. Every time.

45:53Shannon Sharpe:So, So, hey, Junior, pops on his thing. Don't worry about that, bro. Don't even worry about that because, you know, you know how they be doing, man. They be trying to get you raging, and don't fall for it. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening, Ocho. It's time for Q and A.

46:18Shannon Sharpe:They got me mad now.

46:40Yeah.

46:42Shannon Sharpe:Ice Cube was in 21 Jump Street.

46:46Shannon Sharpe:Alright. Before we get to our Super Chat, we got five video voicemails. Let's take a listen from our Discord. Let's take a listen at the first one. What's going on, Nightcap family? Unk, Ocho, Joe. My one question to y 'all is, who do y 'all think will be a sleeper in the draft at the wide receiver position? My personal opinion, I think a guy like Deion Burks, you know, a gadget guy that can play multiple positions, I think he'll be a sleeper in the draft. just all depends on where he goes but he'll be somebody like how wandel was my boy wandel um you know my boy rondel guys who can get the ball in space and get it quick you know bubble screens and intermediate shorter routes um you know the drag routes and the crossing routes but who do y 'all think will be a sleeper in the draft at the wide receiver position because that's the position I like the most every year.

47:55Shannon Sharpe:I like the little kid from Georgia. I think he ran like 4-3, Ocho. And you know Georgia receivers, they're better in the league than they are in college. Yeah. Because their offense in college is really simplistic. Very. If you look at Ladd McConkie, you look at Pick, you look at a lot of these guys that come out of Georgia and you look at them once they get to the league and look how they flourish. so I like the little kid from Georgia I think his last name is Branch I'm not sure but I like him for me probably KC Concepcion am I saying that? Texas A &M yeah I think it all comes down to where you go all the receivers are good they're not great they don't pop out it's not your Jamar Chase it's not your Justin Jefferson type receivers so situations matter most for these players, I mean where they will go for them to be able to flourish I think in the right system there can be a jewel, there can be a gem that can surprise a lot of people especially depending on how fast they learn and pass that learning curve Here's our second one, let's take a listen

49:11What did I say?

49:13Shannon Sharpe:He in Glenville, Georgia. NFL great Sterling. Shattered and Sterling Sharp. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. That was dope. Yeah, you ain't got one in Liberty City, do you? I do. I'm getting my name. You can't put it up there your damn self, though. No, no, I ain't going to put it up there. You'll see, it's coming. It's coming. I mean, matter of fact, when we do do that, we need to have Nightcap there live. Oh, Lord, how crazy. That's going to be nice. Here's our third one. Let's take a listen. Ocho, Aiso, man, y 'all keep up the good work. When y 'all going to have time back on there, I always go watch that video again when he said he was at a party.

49:52Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all tripping me out that whole episode. Ocho, this is a video of Khabib, when y 'all was talking about Khabib, this is a video of Khabib wrestling a bear when he was like five years old. and ISO. I work for FedEx so I see the post office trucks all the time. The new ones that you're referring to. The damn windshield about 7 foot tall on there. They look like the alien head of aliens. But y 'all keep doing good work. Appreciate it. That's exactly what I thought when I saw it today. I'm like, well damn. Look at that look like Marvin the Martian windshield. Big ass helmet.

50:29Shannon Sharpe:All right, here it is number four, let's take a listen.

50:56people as well. But my one question for Ankin Ocho and for Isoljo will be,

51:03Shannon Sharpe:what do y 'all think about the Lane Kiffin and the Pete Golden matchup week two of this upcoming college football season here in Austin, Mississippi? With Lane Kiffin going to LSU and Pete Golden being the new Ole Miss head coach. I just want to hear y 'all thoughts. W, you're not captain man, and keep doing what y 'all guys doing. Love y 'all. Appreciate you. look anytime a coach leaves and leave how Lane left there's going to be some tensions it didn't seem to me that the players are going to miss Lane because they were very very supportive of Pete Golden Pete Golden is always going to be appreciative of what Lane did, gave him an opportunity but Pete Golden they're going to try to put Bill in the ass Chambliss is coming back he appealed to the Mississippi Supreme Court so he's going to get a sixth season I can use a little 3-4 million dollars that I'm going to pick up not a little but anyway I'm just making light of the situation but that's going to be a great game because that might be the inside track though you know who's going to get one of those playoffs first or give them the inside track Ocho for guess what the SEC see that's going to be dope that's going to be a really good game I mean, if there was any bad blood, it sure is it is now.

52:28Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, because you hear the reports that Ole Miss had to say, had to say, you know, was willing to go to LSU. But, you know, they made promise LSU is like, look, we got 20, 25 million. We're going to get you X, Y, and Z. We're going to bring the coaches in or whatever you want to do. And so, but I think clearly for whatever reason, Lane, I mean, you got to the college football playoff, so it's not like you're devoid of talent at Ole Miss. Now, are you going to consistently get the level of talent at Ole Miss that you get at LSU? No. Uh-uh. No. No. No. But we'll find out. That's going to be a game.

53:10Shannon Sharpe:I can't wait to watch it. Here's our fifth and final one. Let's take a listen. What's up, Nightcap family? Selling love from England. My name is Bonds. I have a couple questions for you guys. unk i want to ask you from the uk we don't watch a lot of american football if i was trying to get into it how would you recommend me starting because the rules and the stops the plays don't make much sense to me question about boxing for ocho ocho what is the most controversial or worst decision made in boxing is it ggg versus canelo two or one what is your opinion on that and another question for iso joe or unk who would you compare steph curry lebron james Kyrie Irving to you in the NFL?

53:48What would be their comparison? Let me know. Again, appreciate you guys for keeping us entertained. I've been watching you guys for a while since your inception, really.

53:57Shannon Sharpe:Well, it all depends on what position you want to play. I don't know what you play, but if you knew what you played or how much you weighed or how tall you were, I can tell you what position I think you're suited for. Being all honest, I mean, you look like you're a fairly big guy, so I'm going to say Ocho Proud offensive-defensive line. Yeah.

54:18Shannon Sharpe:And defensive line is a lot easier to play than offensive line because guess what? Go get the man with the football. Whoever has the man, whoever has the football, go tackle him. Simple. You see, you're here. You got a guy lined up in front of you. Now, either the quarterback's going to have the ball and he's trying to throw it to somebody down the field or he's going to hand the ball out to that guy. Whichever the case may be, if the quarterback has the ball, go knock hell out of him. If the running back has the ball go knock hell out of him. Now if you're an offensive lineman you see that guy that I just told you you were just trying to knock the hell out of your job is to protect him.

54:57Shannon Sharpe:Whether he's the quarterback or the running back your job is not let the guy knock hell out of either one of them. So for me I think defense is a little easier to play because of you know defensive lineman go get the quarterback. Offensive line you got a lot of checks it might be a combination block it might be a slip block you know it might pull you know you might change the line protection Ocho Lids we going left no no rip that rip that now we going right so me I would say probably defense yeah and that boxing question that's a really good one on decisions that could have that could have gone either way I don't remember exactly which fight it was with Triple G and Canelo I don't know if it was one or two where I think Triple G actually won that fight.

55:41I'll give you one even better. Floyd Mayweather Jr. when he fought Jose Luis Castillo. I'm not sure if you remember that in 2002. Listen, that fight was so goddamn good and could have gone either goddamn way. God damn, it was one more. I had it on the tip of my tongue that was very, very controversial. Oh my goodness. Oh, when Canelo fought Edith Elias Lundra, Laura. I don't know how to say this. You know Laura. you know what I'm talking about right now when Canelo fought Laura if you go back and watch that fight I don't know what the judge was looking at that is also another fight that Canelo could have lost when he fought Laura and those are my three

56:23Shannon Sharpe:I was thinking Mildred Taylor and Julio Chavez Sr when Richard Steele stopped the damn fight man they robbed They robbed it. Yeah. That's all I'm going to say. They robbed it. J. Delphi Macron. Hey, Unk, I've been slacking. I'm about to roll with you down to the 240s. What's their goal date? Man, they sent me back. They sent me back. Oh, Jordan, thank you. Slick Jordan be getting up going to the gym. I'm going to have him close the gym on it, tell him he's not allowed in there. I'll charge him$100 for a day pass. My birthday, June 26th. I'm going to be down.

57:13Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to be down. I'm going to be down.

57:19Woo-hoo-hoo. You see that old joke? You see that old joke? Hey, we about the same size, huh? Y 'all see that? We about the same size.

57:31Shannon Sharpe:Matching. Look at that. Y 'all ain't never seen that. What did that say, Nick? Incredible Hulk. What did I say hope? Boy, this goddamn eye ain't doing me no good. Murky eye.

57:46Shannon Sharpe:Boy, this is my favorite. Ojo, what's a decision you made in your career that looked like a mistake at the time but actually shaped you into who you are today? Oh, that's a good one. A mistake. Damn good one. It looked like a mistake. Hell, it was a mistake. and it shaped me for the player I am. I turned out to be maybe not off the field, but I dropped that goddamn ball on four down against the Indianapolis Colts. I think it might have been 2002, maybe 2001. No, 2002. Then I dropped the ball to keep the drive going to give us a chance to actually win the game. So ain't no telling what would happen if I caught the ball.

58:28I turned the ball over. I dropped the ball. Boy, from that point on, boy, I hadn't dropped a ball in a very long time and I told myself I will never be responsible for being the reason we lose another game. You don't mind, Ocho? Oh, my goodness. That hurt. I don't know. In my career, having kids out of wedlock.

58:52Yeah.

58:54Shannon Sharpe:Because it puts you in a frame of mind because now, Ocho, I ain't just responsible for champion anymore. Got mild to pee. I got people. I got somebody that I'm literally responsible for that didn't ask to come, that I helped create them and bring them into a situation they didn't ask to be in. Right. Man, you talking about locking in? Yeah, you ain't had no choice. I didn't know, Joe. You had no choice. Because I already got responsibility. I got my grandma, my sister, my mom. But now I got really namesakes. It's like, damn, man, how did I get myself into this? Right. And then how did I get myself into this this many times?

59:46Shannon Sharpe:What the hell? I know how it did. But it was the best decision, Ocho, because I don't know how many of your kids got an opportunity to see you play. all of them except obviously the last three didn't they was there front and center see that's the thing all my kids got an opportunity to see me play they got to see everything they got to go to Super Bowl they got to be a part of it you know so whoo responsibility man responsibility man kids make you grow up real fast even if you're not ready to grow up? You ain't got no choice. I have some kids. What's up, Uncle Ocho? Can y 'all wish my mom, Anita Delbridge, a speedy recovery.

1:00:39Shannon Sharpe:She recently had a knee replaced. Thanks a lot, Michaela and Jacory. Absolutely. Anita, speedy recovery. Happy birthday. From what I've heard, from what I've heard, the first three to four weeks, so the first three to four weeks of the knee is that it's going to be painful, but you gotta get that range of motion because that's the one thing because it's different than hips. Now, I've heard, I've had hips bilateral, both of mine replaced. They say hips are easy, and it was, but they say that knee, so you're gonna have to stay on top of it and need it because hey, gotta get you back out there. Hey, quality, quality of life, being able to go and do things with the grand and do things with the kids.

1:01:21Shannon Sharpe:So we gotta get that knee healthy and strong. So happy birthday. Enjoy this very, very special. No, she just wanted a speedy recovery. She didn't want no birthday. She ain't had no birthday, I told you. Oh, my bad. A speedy recovery. But, hey, the first three to four weeks, bite down, grit down, hey, and get this thing done. And you know what? I might be having to join you here in the next six to seven months and get mine done. But, hey, you, in the meantime, keep your head up. speedy recovery and hey thank you guys for watching Roger Ward 6 hey Uncle Nocho do you guys think it's better to be a boxer that can fight or a fighter that can box congrats on 2 million love the show Ocho what is it better boy you gotta have a little bit of both huh depending on who you fight because if you get in there if you're a boxer you get in there with a pressure fighter that's constantly pressuring you boxing ain't gonna work he's going to force you to fight he's gonna force you to fight so it's good to have a little bit of both or you you'll be overwhelmed and all you're taking them goddamn deep waters if you can't fight think you're gonna outbox somebody man that's not gonna happen that ain't gonna happen hey quinn sb a ocho uh wish my woman happy 37th birthday jill quinn this is uh this will really make her day when she sees this.

That we woke up this morning, we were in our right mind, we had use of our limbs and the blood was still running warm in our veins. Because somebody had an appointment they couldn't reschedule. Somebody not going to get an opportunity to see their birthday.
