But I'll, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Nah, for me to eat it, it's gonna need to be cooked. Okay, okay. Even if it ain't nothing but steamed. You know what I mean? Yes, sir. Come on. I'm just saying. I'm picking up what you're putting down. We saw you line up against Coach Prime.

16:24Chad Johnson:Who won that? You know who won that, man. You know 10 toes against 8, man. You know who won that. Once I put that coffee up, you know what time it was. Watch him, watch him, watch him, watch him. Oh, he done. He done already. You know why he done? Because he too low. He going to stab. He going to stab with that left. Because people forget. He going to miss. He going to miss. Hey, I'm going to dip right up under that. I'm going to dip a shoulder. I'm going to pick one side. I'm going to dip low. And when he stab, he going to miss. And him stabbing and missing is going to push me forward anyway.

17:01Chad Johnson:Hey, man, anytime I see Prime Chat, y 'all know we could be at church. We could be at a funeral. It don't matter where we at. you know every time you're lining up it don't matter man it's always good to see Prime man he was in good spirits good to see him moving around like that again

17:15Shannon Sharpe:considering what he had gone through earlier this year I mean last year excuse me yeah to see him out there like that yeah he seemed like Prime

17:27Chad Johnson:yeah absolutely saw Pac-Man saw Dez I saw Desi Banks I talked to Drew I said Drew yeah I say to it hey man they ate them the church people on top of you man how you feel everything good he said yeah yeah Ocho but the people got to understand I'm creating content and I have to pull it from somewhere I'm in it from somewhere so I'm not why y 'all mad at me and and you the

17:52Shannon Sharpe:inspiration to it yeah y 'all mad at me but y 'all study giving that man y 'all study giving that man he studied buying Rolls Royces and Bentleys and and living in mansions and you got to worry about I sure hope I'm able to pay this light bill this month. But y 'all mad at a comedian.

18:08Chad Johnson:Yeah. It was dope.

18:10Shannon Sharpe:I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it entire week. I enjoyed it entire week. It was a... Ocho, several people around the league believe Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, will eventually give up play-calling duties to OC Davis Webb, per Jeremy Fowler. It wouldn't be shocking if that happened.

18:29Shannon Sharpe:Boy, I want to see that day. I want to see that day.

18:36Chad Johnson:You don't think you believe his duties? I don't. Stuck in his ways. I do not.

18:46Shannon Sharpe:Sean Payton claimed to fame. Right. Was calling plays. He called the plays in Giants. When we beat him in the Super Bowl in 2000, called the plays on Coach Parcells in Dallas. He called the plays all that time in New Orleans. And he called the plays. I just don't see it happening. I'm not saying that it can't happen. I just say I don't see it happening.

19:17Chad Johnson:Does Mr. Wells have any experience calling plays? He got promoted.

19:21Shannon Sharpe:He was the quarterback's coach. And they fired Pete Carmichael and elevated him. Oh. you know basically you know Pete Carmichael got

19:36Shannon Sharpe:you know he got blamed for the call that Sean Payton made

19:47Shannon Sharpe:so no I just don't see it I don't see it and I think the thing is he kind of want to get back in that situation and and to get a do-over because he knows it I mean when he lays it he laid his head on that pillow down that Saturday night. He know you have to. Yeah. We don't, we don't have to.

20:06Shannon Sharpe:We don't have to.

20:10Shannon Sharpe:Believe in a point, but we will. Cause he helped up. Yeah.

20:19Shannon Sharpe:But this is what happens. This is what happens. And hopefully Davis Webb comes in and does a great job. I mean, Hey,

20:28Shannon Sharpe:I'm not look I would have loved to see the Broncos but it's not like the Broncos can run the football either so it would have been very difficult I think the thing is the Broncos can get after the quarterback so it might have been a sack fest I mean you might have had 13-14 sacks between the two teams because both teams can get off the rock

20:50Chad Johnson:but even with that let's say the Broncos in a position tonight I mean you still give the ad to the Seahawks. Yes. I agree.

21:01Shannon Sharpe:I'm not going to fight you on that, Ocho. I'm not going to fight you on that. But just like, it's hard for the old guys. I mean, if you think about it, Coach Landry called plays for the better part of his whole time when he was in Dallas. Right. So basically from 1960 until 1988

21:34Shannon Sharpe:to 29 years it's just hard when those guys have been calling to give up that kind of control because that's what you do you're giving up control then you get mad you should have run it here you should have threw it there won't you call the plays then and so I don't see it happening you know Jeremy Fowler seemed to think that it could happen but I just don't see it I don't I don't

22:04Chad Johnson:it got to come from somewhere yeah

22:08Shannon Sharpe:and the thing is Ocho is that you know you might say that now because guess what ain't nobody calling no plays the last play got called tonight Clint Kubiak for the Seahawks and Josh McDaniel for the Patriots. So there'll be no plays, no significant plays called until September. We'll see then. Right. We'll see if Sean Payton have that big-ass board, and we'll see. If you don't have the board, Davis Webb calling the plays. Call the plays. If he has the board, Davis Webb not calling the plays.

24:56So it's interesting to see what the Broncos are going to do next year.

25:02Shannon Sharpe:The Cowboys are expected to apply the franchise tag to George Pickens. The projected cost of one year fully guaranteed franchise tag Ocho will be$28 million. Does this make you think George Pickens will be in Dallas next year? oh i mean um you know i i don't like you know how i feel

25:24Chad Johnson:the franchise tag i do um the franchise tag it's it's a gift and a curse now the gift the gift side is the franchise tags it allows teams it allows owners to try to find a way to get a long-term deal done some owners use the franchise tag as a way to say listen I like you but I don't like you enough or trust you to give you the kind of money I want to or that you deserve long term so we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna make you better on yourself we're gonna make you better yourself and see if you can do it again for another year yeah for another year but when I look at George Pickens and having his best season statistically with the Cowboys uh if you were to probably ask him he would love to stay I think what he has that what he has going on with cd there and having dak is a great thing it's a great thing but you look at you look at the team in general uh collectively as a whole um it'd be somewhat almost like the bangles you know you have two great number ones right offensively you have a great quarterback but you ain't got nothing on defense at any level you know i mean if you if you're thinking i know you're a cowboys fans if you're here listen to me like just stay with me real quick if if you let let George Pickens go and allow him to go somewhere else, allow him to flourish, allow him to have his own team and be able to use that money.

26:49Shannon Sharpe:They gave a draft compensation to get him. You'd be foolish to let him go without trying to get draft compensation for him.

26:56Chad Johnson:Let's get draft compensation for him. Let's trade him. I don't think that happened. Let's get some pieces. Listen to me. Let's get some pieces on what we need defensively. because you got CeeDee Lamb, you get your number two. You get your nice number two where you can still move the ball efficiently offensively and get what you need on defense. As opposed to you got George Pickens, phenomenal player. You got CeeDee Lamb, phenomenal player. And you ain't got no defense, so you're scoring 38 points a game and other teams scoring 42. Or you're scoring 21 and other teams scoring 28. So the elephant in the room is still your defensive needs that need to be met over in Dallas.

27:38Shannon Sharpe:They're looking at it like, okay, look, Dak is going to be about$78,$80 million. We restructure Dak. Get a long-term deal, give him a big-sided bonus. We can get Dak down. We restructure CeeDee Lamb. Get him under control. What do we do with Terrence Steele? Do we keep him, restructure his deal, or do we outright release him? And plus, they feel like they got a first-round pick because of the Michael situation. so they got extra compensation that they feel they can go and can will and deal and bring somebody. You know, you hear people talk about Max Crosby might be available. You and the guys at Cincinnati, Jeffrey Simmons.

28:26Shannon Sharpe:If one or both of those guys come available, if you're the Cowboy, you got to try to move heaven and earth to try to get them. but the problem is is that the Cowboys have a log jam at DT they got Kenny Clark they got Odigizua they got the guy that just got from the Jets Quinty so you got three D tackles already so somebody's going to be the odd man out preferably you're going to get Max if you can get Max Crosby for a first and a third you do it obviously I don't see, I don't see miles Garrett going anywhere and what they're going to ask for you to get him. You're not going to get, you don't want to give that up.

29:12Shannon Sharpe:He probably, they don't want, Oh, he's just an anonymous defensive player of the year and he's not even 30.

29:19Chad Johnson:That's crazy.

29:20Shannon Sharpe:So they're going to want three, they're going to want two, three first round picks. And he's really the draw. He's really the draw. and it's rare that you have a defensive player that's the draw but currently because they're kind of devoid of offensive players he's the draw he is he's the best defensive player in football and I'm I don't think the Browns will trade him I don't

29:49Chad Johnson:you never know it's a funny business crazier crazier things have happened

29:59Shannon Sharpe:I believe if they were going to trade him they traded him last year

30:05Shannon Sharpe:trade him after he won the second defensive player of the year and he won it unanimous after breaking the sack record that would be strange

30:15Chad Johnson:I mean well you only won four games with everything you just said you trying to win or not

30:26Shannon Sharpe:I believe they're trying to win, don't you? I do.

30:33Shannon Sharpe:But I just don't believe they're going to trade Miles Garrett in order to help them to speed that process up. But I've always felt this, considering the way George Pickens was playing, that there was a great chance that they were going to probably franchise and try to get something done long term. He's going to want big money. He's going to want more than North. for CD. Because CD signed that two years ago. And in order for you to keep elevating the salaries, Ocho, I can't, well, CD's the number one. I get it. I'm happy for CD. But I'm just basing on what I did last year. And my numbers exceeded his.

31:16Shannon Sharpe:And I think Pick is younger than CD. Yeah. He gonna want He going to want north of that. He going to want$37,$38 million, Ocho, to stay. Yeah.

31:30Chad Johnson:I mean, I don't. Ocho, he worth it. He's earned it. Yeah. I speak for the player in general. I speak for the player in general in wanting him to get all he can. That's all. And a lot of people, you know, upset at me, especially Cowboys fans. And, oh, he didn't say that when it came to T and Chase. and Tee Higgins and Chase wasn't in a situation like Pick. You know, he wasn't going from one team to another, you know. I think he is in a great situation. Just understanding the game that Jerry plays when it comes time to playing players. And, I mean, this is a unique situation, though. It's a unique situation.

32:10Chad Johnson:I just hope Jerry gets this one right this time, you know, for the sake of that fan base and the sake of that team, obviously. but there's so many, so many, so many questions that need answered defensively.

32:21Shannon Sharpe:They do. But you know, Jerry, I love offense.

32:28Shannon Sharpe:The triplets. I mean, he remember Emmitt and Troy and Michael. And, you know, he figured he has that with Javante, Dak, and he has two. And you heard Emmitt was talking about it. You know, Alvin Harper thought he was the number one until he went to another team and was asked to do number one things. and it's a little different. But it also says something that I've been saying. Chase was upset at me. I was like, hey, yeah, I'm not saying that he's number one, but number ones don't quit on routes. Number ones don't drift. Yeah. And that's – it's hard, Ocho, when you've done that a lot in your career.

33:11Shannon Sharpe:It's hard to break that. People think you just break a habit. like people that's been smoking how many times on your day is like okay I'm just gonna stop I ain't smoking no more cigarettes or I'm gonna stop drinking I ain't gonna drink no more I'm gonna stop when you develop that habit over a period of time it's hard to just break it because you're like here we go again and you start drifting you start playing oh boy and it's hard to break but I ain't got no problem look he's gonna want his money and he doesn't want to play another year I've already proven what I can do now compensate me he's gonna want maximum compensation and I can't say that I disagree with him yeah and it's gonna be look he has a Mooligeta as an agent

34:08Chad Johnson:I talked to him at the flag game who pick a Mooligeta Okay. Yeah. Just say hello, just introduce myself, that's all. What the hell you didn't introduce yourself for?

34:23Shannon Sharpe:He ain't negotiating your contract?

34:26Chad Johnson:I just wanna introduce myself, you know? Hey, how you doing, how you doing, Dave? You know, my mocho. That's it, you know? I ain't getting nothing else like that, that was it. Oh, so when it come out, you have some news to share, huh? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We stuck, we stuck, we didn't even talk football.

34:47Shannon Sharpe:Oh, you didn't think he knew who you was, huh?

34:51Chad Johnson:I do that regardless to everybody, you know, that I don't know. Well, how'd you know who it was?

34:57Shannon Sharpe:You going up to him, how you didn't know who he was then?

35:02Chad Johnson:My agent that was with me told me, oh yeah, they were Mr. Newgall. Man, you know who that was, stop it. I don't play no more. I don't know everybody by face. Not a player. Yes. People who represent him know.

35:20Chad Johnson:Yeah. It was cool. I took a picture with his son.

35:26Shannon Sharpe:A pink look. And people look at it with 28 million. Yeah, 28 million is a nice chunk of change. Yeah, not for it. But I want long-term security. Security, yeah. I want$35,$40 million over five years. I need to get about$85,$90 million at the time of signing. That'll make me very happy. Yeah, very. That'll make me very happy. Hold on. Let me get my – Well, that's Dave's job. Dave's job is to get maximum value. Pick, you've done what you're supposed to do. Now this offseason, no speeding tickets, no trouble. Keep your nose clean.

36:14Shannon Sharpe:And for instance, start what, second week or first week of March? Because you can have your tampering period, and then you have the next week, Ocho, you have the signing. so

36:32Shannon Sharpe:it'll be it's going to be very very interesting to see how this thing shapes up I know he's not going to be pleased if he

36:43Shannon Sharpe:if he gets franchised yeah hey Ocho what do you think about what Emi had to say at the radio roll about pick like he thought that pick the perfect place for him um the batman and robin 1a 1b whatever you want to call him um he said right and you said well pixel number one he said are we sure because he had a lot of concerns that i've had and and uh you know mainly effort i know when he when he get to cooking yeah oh he burned he burned

37:20Chad Johnson:white hot yeah listen because the number one if you watch football you know what he can do you understand he's one that can elevate the offense when used correctly when put in positions to make the plays you know what he can do on short routes you know what he can do on intermediate routes we know what he can do on deep balls obviously you put him in a situation or on a team that has an adequate quarterback which he didn't have in pittsburgh you understand what Kipagans is capable of doing. You know, I understood what Emmett is saying, but he's going to say all the right things in favor of his Cowboys.

37:58Chad Johnson:He's going to.

37:59Shannon Sharpe:But I think the thing is, Ocho, is that you don't get put in position to make plays. Chase is not in position to make plays every single play. Sometimes the play is for T. And he said that. You say, well, when he's in position, yes. But when you're not in position, you can't take that time off. That's the problem. Far too many times. For your coach to come out and say what he said Thanksgiving when you play Detroit, that's not we should not have that discussion about a George Pickens.

38:27Chad Johnson:So I have. Yes. Are we going to keep using that same thing every single time? Did he do it? Are you going to keep doing it every single time? Hold on. Are we going to keep weaponizing that one situation? So if there's a problem with that, why want to keep him there? Don't keep him there if it's a problem. Ocho, you said it wasn't going to be a problem.

38:45Shannon Sharpe:That's what you told this entire chat. It wasn't going to be a problem. Did he do that? He had multiple issues. Did he have, Ocho, you do realize. Ocho, if you run a file with the law and they say you can have no more slip-ups, if you have a slip-up, what can you say? Well, I only had one. I know I had five previously, but I only had one this time. So you do know the job is not to have a slip-up, right? yeah I mean

39:16Chad Johnson:we all have flip ups even if we don't want to

39:19Shannon Sharpe:but I'm saying is that in that situation it was so obvious you saw him have going through routes and getting plays picked you watched it everybody watched it it was trending a guy like George Pickens shouldn't have that he's too good of a talent great He's too good of a talent to have that. Oh, shit.

39:49Chad Johnson:What the hell happened to you? That goddamn coke done went down the wrong pipe.

39:57Shannon Sharpe:That what you get for yelling? Nah, my bad, my bad. Nah, I just made the thing. Look, he's too good of a talent. And to have that, we shouldn't. coach shouldn't have to talk to him about effort. Not at this juncture of his career. When you were young in Pittsburgh, I'm going to leave all that baggage in Pittsburgh. Oh, Joe. Only thing George Piggy should have brought out of Pittsburgh was himself. I'm going to leave everything back in Pittsburgh. I don't want no clothes from Pittsburgh. I'm going to sell my car. I'm going to sell all the furniture in my apartment. I ain't bringing nothing but my black ass out of Pittsburgh.

40:37Shannon Sharpe:Clean slate. clean slate I'm starting from scratch don't you know how that is yeah

40:46Chad Johnson:and you know everything is magnified too because now you got the star on your helmet you got the star on your helmet

40:52Shannon Sharpe:everything is magnified because there are some games Pittsburgh don't get televised and Dallas and then you play it on Thanksgiving yeah now you know everybody play on Thanksgiving we gonna see everything

41:10Shannon Sharpe:I want him to get his money Yeah

41:14Chad Johnson:He had a little slip up But outside of that

41:19Shannon Sharpe:Boy he's the real deal No questions After helping the Seahawks win Super Bowl 60 Offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak Confirmed he will be the Las Vegas Raiders Next head coach You guys know I'm going to Las Vegas I'm fired up about that How big of a get is this for the Raiders

41:37Chad Johnson:it's a good thing for the Raiders obviously the first thing first things first though Mr. Kubiak has to figure out who the quarterback going to be obviously common sense with the draft stuff going up uh Fernando Mendoza is probably going to be the first first quarterback taken first player taken uh so I'm assuming he's going to be the quarterback of the Las Vegas Raiders so outside of that then you address issues with Mack Crosby is Mack Crosby happy or is he looking for a move. Other pieces need to be added to that puzzle along with Aston Gentry. I think another big receiver over in Oakland is needed.

42:12Chad Johnson:Obviously, I don't know the team that well.

42:15Shannon Sharpe:They got Brock Bowers.

42:18Chad Johnson:I agree with you.

42:19Shannon Sharpe:They do need a number one receiver.

42:21Chad Johnson:Go ahead. They need a big boy. Someone that can move the needle that doesn't need much help from the offensive coordinator. get out there and just get it done like a Brock Bowers can at his position. Defensively, I'm sure there's some questions that need answered.

42:39Shannon Sharpe:They need a lot defensively. They need a lot, Ocho. Secondary. I don't know if Devin White is going to be back. You got Max Crosby. He can't do everything on his own.

42:51Chad Johnson:He can do it all. He can.

42:55Shannon Sharpe:They got cap space, but it ain't how much money you spend it's where you spend the money at yeah sometimes you might be able to find a bargain because you know a lot of times teams try to win the offseason oh they spend the most money they got the flashes no I need to know the guys that I'm getting fit the scheme understand what it is to be a raider now it's lost some of his luster. Obviously gone through head coaches and quarterbacks. But they got to get this thing figured out. How big of a loss is this for the Seahawks, Ocho?

43:42Chad Johnson:Ooh. You know what? It's big. Players, it's big. It is big, but players make coach's job easy when you have the personnel. So I think whoever comes back in in place of Mr. Koubiak will still have the same personnel that he just left.

44:01Shannon Sharpe:Did they have the same personnel in Detroit when Ben Johnson left? How was that? Offensively?

44:12Shannon Sharpe:Take your time.

44:18Chad Johnson:It was good, except for the injury bug defensively. It haunted him again.

44:23Shannon Sharpe:So you said Detroit looked the same offensively as they did when they had Ben Johnson?

44:28Chad Johnson:No, I said it was good until the injury bug haunted them. It didn't haunt them offensively.

44:36Shannon Sharpe:They was injured last year. They was injured last year defensively too, two years ago defensively. When they lost to Washington, they was beat up defensively. But how did they look offensively? They looked good offensively until the injury bug caught them towards the end of the season.

44:51Chad Johnson:Caught them on what side of the ball?

44:53Shannon Sharpe:offensively who got injured I was there J Mo was there give who's there Montgomery was there I'm trying to pick up you do realize you do realize their

45:06Chad Johnson:office was was rolling all season long until to what except the last five weeks

45:10Shannon Sharpe:of the season I'll get back to you yeah you know the thing check it out real

45:15Chad Johnson:quick

45:31Shannon Sharpe:bear with me chat

45:37Chad Johnson:I know about my Lions now

45:42uh

45:45Shannon Sharpe:2025 season they were fifth in total yards fourth in points third down conversion rate was 44th see

45:55Chad Johnson:keep going

45:56Shannon Sharpe:hold on

45:59Chad Johnson:go ahead

46:11Shannon Sharpe:2024 there was second in total yards first in points third in passing yards seventh in rushing yards first and third down conversion.

46:25Shannon Sharpe:They will overcome some of that. Because the defense has been bad for a minute with the injuries. Taron, Arnold got hurt. What's the other guy? What's the other DB Ocho? Branch. Who? Brian Branch got injured? Brian Branch, yeah. I think Arnold, I think the other one, isn't there another corner from Alabama? I mean, Terry. Terry. Yeah. He got injured. Joseph got injured. The middle linebacker. I can't remember his name. He came. Jack Campbell was back. Yeah. Campbell was there.

47:05Shannon Sharpe:But the thing, Ocho, plus you got to remember, they demoted the offensive coordinator and what you call them started calling plays. Coach Campbell. And then they ended up firing him and got a new coordinator in.

47:24Shannon Sharpe:It always takes you a little time to get to a groove of how he likes to call plays. I thought Clint Kubiak, like I said, I've known Clint Kubiak. He was, his dad bringing him to practice, he could have been no more than about eight, seven, eight. Right. And to see him be a head coach in the Ocho, I'm like. That's dope. damn everything same thing with Christian McCaffrey to see him and to see former teammates you know whole row I was like damn

48:03Shannon Sharpe:but congratulations Coop I know you're proud of your son I think Clay I think Clay is in Minnesota

48:14Shannon Sharpe:he got another son on the offensive side of the football too

48:19Chad Johnson:got a lot of

48:21Shannon Sharpe:he does alright it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A

48:38Chad Johnson:my flight my flight at 1045 I'm ready

48:44Shannon Sharpe:true and infamous Patriots fans can't say foot or ball. D-Law got a ring in his first year since leaving Dallas. Thank you, Vikings. Thank you, Ravens, for McDonald. J-Dub Akron. Seattle defense looked like ISO in New York.

49:04Shannon Sharpe:That's a good one.

49:05Chad Johnson:That's a good one.

49:07Shannon Sharpe:Gabrielle Joseph. Uncle Nocho, NFL is over, but it was a great year. Can you shout out my wife, Erica? She's been my world. her 37th birthday. She is 20. It was the 24th, okay. And we'll celebrate our 17th Valentine's Day and 18th wedding anniversary in June. Absolutely. Gabriel, Erica, happy 37th birthday. Wow. 24th, I guess 24th of this month. And you celebrate your 17th. Man, y 'all been together. Y 'all been married. Y 'all been together that long? She. Boy, that's love. That's together. Y 'all attach that to him. But happy birthday, Erica. Happy 37th birthday. Aaron Owens, I don't know what was worse, the commercials or the Patriots offense.

50:00Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it took... Hey, nothing to my attitude. I was thinking the same thing.

50:07Chad Johnson:Hey, normally, normally is burrito, I mean burrito, it's either Doritos or Budweiser. Tito's and Budweiser, they always bring it. They always bring it every Super Bowl commercial. But this year, nothing really caught my eye.

50:21Shannon Sharpe:I agree. I agree. Lanny Ray from a Vikings fan. So happy from Sammy Darts. I told y 'all last year he was a great QB. For the record, congrats, Seahawks. Yeah. But, Ocho, in these playoffs, what didn't he do? Turn the goddamn ball over. Didn't turn it over. Yep. What did he do last year against Detroit?

50:45Chad Johnson:Turn that goddamn ball over.

50:49Shannon Sharpe:Did they play Detroit? Yeah. Yeah, they played Detroit. Minnesota played Detroit. Yes, yes, yes.

51:03Shannon Sharpe:Stephanie Warfield, Derek Thomas, DT, the kingdom still remembers and misses you. 1-1-1967, 2008, February the 8th, 2000. Yep, we missed DT. He was a great guy, man. Great friend. We had our issues, but hey, I still miss the time we work out and made each other better. Spurs legend, the beatdown we just witnessed is the same we witnessed if Debo were to get his hands on Ocho.

51:35Chad Johnson:That's the funny thing. Funny thing about it. D-Bo don't know nothing about combat sports. He know about weight. And what we going to do and when we go at it, it ain't got nothing to do with strength at all.

51:48Shannon Sharpe:Devin, 7606, Cup called heads. Did he? I could have swiped. I thought he called tails. He called tails. I was trying to read his lips. Lab 20, Casey, Up, and Ocho. that four-man rush is serious. Mahomes' second Super Bowl L, the four-man rush was insane, just like the Super Bowl with May. Had no time, hopefully. This made people realize can't do ish if four-man gets home. You got to be able to run the football. That too. Because the thing was, see, if you go back and look at Mahomes when he lost the Super Bowl, what couldn't they do against the Bucs? Run the football. So now they just unleash hell.

52:34Shannon Sharpe:What couldn't they do against the Eagles? run the football. If you can't run the football, it's hard for you to beat a team, especially a really good defensive team, which Seattle is, which the Eagles were, which the Bucs were. So you got to get them out of that coverage so they can drop the safety down. So now you get an opportunity. But if you just go let them just shell you off, you're not getting deep. You're not going to get no chunk plays.

53:05Shannon Sharpe:I got no chill. Campbell said, linemen that give up sacks work at Amazon. I guess tonight he clocked in for his first year. Man, y 'all, I know they're killing him, Bocho. I know they're killing him.

53:21Chad Johnson:Yeah, it's the big stage. Yes. It's the big stage. Everybody's watching. So everything's magnified when all eyes are on you and you get yourself beat on this stage?

53:32Shannon Sharpe:Jeeps underscore 22, Unk Ocho, great meeting you guys at the live show. Can you shout out the Denier Lions, Junior Novice Cheerleaders, back-to-back Jams National Champions? Absolutely. The Denier Lions, congratulations, Junior Novice Cheerleaders, back-to-back Jams National Champions. Congratulations, young ladies. Airpray 98, Unk, your fit for the live show was fire. I thought you were capping when you said you'd wear it again after the Crawford Canelo fight. you weren't playing hell nah man y 'all know what them pants cost and that jacket cost and guess what you'll see it again

54:12Shannon Sharpe:man I ain't got no red like that man look here that's for the Kim Kardashian that's for the Beyonce's and stuff like that that ain't for Channing Shark yeah wear stuff one time yeah nigga wear that stuff one time nah and they probably get that stuff for free I gotta pay for mine So I'm aware. Ah, Jigga, nah. They need to keep Mahomes in the Super Bowl NFL script next season. We need a villain to hate on. I didn't know who to root against today. I honestly think, I mean, Ocho, I think, hold on. I think only one person had New England to win picked on our show. I think Dan Morgan came on the live show and picked New England to win because he was betting the money line.

54:55Shannon Sharpe:But for the most part, everybody picked Seattle. I think more people want to see out of the wind. People still haven't gotten over how much the Patriots used to win over the last 20 years, Ocho. They're like, they don't want enough. Expolytic, 35-94. Stafford had like 100 yards with 10 touchdowns and zero picks. They mean 1 ,000 yards. Gets the DN3 games. People voted for May MVP. Look, the MVP is for the regular season. And I think both guys had phenomenal regular seasons. But if I'd have had a vote, I'd have voted for Stafford. Because I thought it would – I mean, it's – look, I don't get it.

55:34Shannon Sharpe:I don't get it. Because we saw last year, Ocho, Lamar have a historic season. And he's the all-pro quarterback, but he doesn't win the MVP. Right. Could something like that have happened again this year? Sure, it could have. But I do think they got it right. And the voters got a lot of ish wrong, but I think they got this right. Yeah.

56:05Shannon Sharpe:Kuhl's apports. What is it? Kuhl's sports rhymes. Okay. The Rams shouldn't have been, haven't been in that 2018 Super Bowl. The ref cheated my Saints on that no call. You're right. That was blatant P.I. It was. but it's not the first bad call or missed call that their officials have made. I thought they called a really good game tonight, Ocho. I mean what they have. They had a P.I. I think Woolen got a P.I. They had a couple of offsides and they had a couple of false starts but other than that, Ocho, they let them play. And congratulations to my homeboy, my former college teammate. He's the umpire in this game for the fourth time in his fourth Super Bowl.

56:52so

56:52Shannon Sharpe:Stonk congratulations SSU is very proud of you my brother

57:00Shannon Sharpe:I wrestled a win I need a story from Ocho about the bus he was slowly slipping into not being talked about with his own orthodox psyche what pick are you talking about Ocho I don't know are you talking about the one that sauce got you or something? A pig. What's pig? I need a story from Uncle Ocho about the bus. He slowly slipped into not being talked about with his unorthodox physique. Oh, you talking about Jerome Bettis?

57:42I am.

57:42Shannon Sharpe:I'm not sure about that one. I'm confused too. John on 9761, Tom Brady is laughing tonight, sitting back saying, you miss me? Drake May was more Tony Easton than Tom Brady. There ain't going to be no more Tom Brady's, man. Not even close. And it's okay. It is okay. It is. It really is.

58:08Shannon Sharpe:Kumar 01234. Facts to say I'm darned I want a Super Bowl because Gino wanted more guaranteed money. I'm not sure they win the Super Bowl with Gino, but that's just me. Everything happens for a reason, Ocho. Lamar J, K-9 earned that MVP. Will Campbell played just as bad as 77 for the Ravens. He couldn't block the sun out of his eyes. You're right. K-9 did. He did. I sure wanted him to get that long TD run on you. I did. I did. I did. But, yeah, he deserved it. He deserved it. I mean, we've seen dominant defensive performances, but it's hard. You can't give it to the whole defense. Now, we've seen co-Harvey Martin and Randy White share the defensive MVP in 1977 when the Cowboys beat the Brakes off of the Broncos.

59:02Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, Harvey Martin and Randy White shared co-MVPs. But you don't really see it that much, Ocho.

59:13Shannon Sharpe:Tone the Virgo, congrats to Mike Mack and the Seahawks. Sam Darnold didn't play a great game, but he played a clean game. The Seahawks just simply played Seahawks football. Why play checkers when you know how to play chess? True. He didn't turn it over. And I felt it was going to be very, very difficult for New England to win this game, Mocho. Yeah. Unless they created, they got a pick six or a scoop and score, or they created short fields for their offense. I just didn't feel that they could consistently move the ball down the field to crack this defense.

59:49Shannon Sharpe:Pest Control Crew, whenever the 49er fans want to talk about how many Super Bowls we have, I'm going to say we have one of y 'alls in y 'all house. Nasty, that's nasty word. That's diabolical, bro. Kevin, non-delusional cowboy fan. and cousin Ocho. I'm glad D-Log got his ring well deserved. What NFC team would you have wanted to play for back in the day? Who would you want to play for, Ocho? NFL or NFC team?

1:00:19Chad Johnson:NFC team? Back in the day?

1:00:30Chad Johnson:Hmm. Man, that's a good one.

1:00:40Chad Johnson:Green Bay was good. Maybe the Packers.

1:00:43Shannon Sharpe:Man, I ain't trying to play in that cold, man. That thing get cold up there for real.

1:00:48Chad Johnson:I'm just thinking about, I mean, thinking about playing with Aaron Rodgers, that's all. Back then, that would have been dope.

1:00:58Shannon Sharpe:You wouldn't have got but a couple of years, Aaron. You'd have been playing with Favre. either one I'm going to be open just put it in the area Josh Aaron said Jason Myers got snubbed from the first kicker to be Super Bowl MVP had 17 points come on well he'll be special teams player of the week

1:01:23Shannon Sharpe:K9 to be offensive player of the week and Spoon to be defensive player of the week Solid KB and Ocho's voice I effing love you guys. Uncle Nocho, minus four and a half for the Hawks. Came back to Atlanta. Let's see tonight, not ballers. Smoking cigars and sip on shake. Congrats. I wonder how much winning we could have had. Oh, man, I think Drake bet a million dollars. I read somewhere where Drake bet a million dollars on the Patriots. Yeah. Drake been taking some L's lately. He took an L with Canelo. I think he bet a Canelo against Bud. took one tonight j.j carver he's the world's most popular artist it's not about language he creates the best dance music on the planet and dance is universal y 'all know what's really going on here yes i know i do yeah we get it i get it ristina.ingram enjoyed y 'all in person in san francisco this week thank you i appreciate the support appreciate you coming out Dr.

1:02:27Shannon Sharpe:Frank L. Bellamy, Doc, you know we appreciate you coming out. Hey, fam, so good to see y 'all again. It was a great show. Thank you. Thank you for your support, you and your husband. Y 'all always show up for us, Doc. Jim 9165, passing Hawks play Super Bowl Trilogy, and my Dolphins ain't won a playoff game since cash money took over in 99 and the 2000s.

1:02:52Shannon Sharpe:John McKendree, 94-53. they should have had ice raid during the halftime show. Really?

1:03:00Chad Johnson:Hey, that's messed up.

1:03:02Shannon Sharpe:Prince drama up. I think Minnesota believed that Sam, he better since leaving there. And Daniel Jones both left better and came coming from a Rams fan. No. I think he could have had similar success. I mean, look at what he got. They got Jetta. They got Addison. They got Naylor. They can run the ball with Aaron Jones. Their defense is going to get after you. With Flores calling it up, you got to have a quarterback, though.

1:03:35Shannon Sharpe:Abir Hussani, my KC Chiefs, will be back in the next year. Mahomes will be back fully healthy week one. We signed Brees, drafted a wide receiver number one overall. Mark my words, don't sleep on Mahomes, boy. It's going to be tough for him to get back to week one, but if anybody can do it, he can. CEO of Rubler congrats to the Hawks Uncle Ocho said y 'all would check out Rublo Uncle Ocho said you would join still waiting on them boys get in the chat what is that Ocho? Rublo?

1:04:10Chad Johnson:damn I don't know

1:04:13Shannon Sharpe:I don't know what that is fellas

1:04:16Chad Johnson:I probably know what it is

1:04:17Shannon Sharpe:I just gotta say I need a visual Data Wizard, Metallica or Lil Wayne, please. I guess that's who they want. A heavy metal for the halftime show in Los Angeles next year.

1:04:36Shannon Sharpe:Rude Boy, Chris Brown. I like that. Chris Evans, crushing loss for my Patriots. I think Campbell will be fine. He just got to get stronger. There's a big difference between college players and NFL. He was literally getting pushed around. He absolutely was. Wazoo, one college student gets a semester paid Ocho as a prize.

1:05:07Shannon Sharpe:Can we know what Junior say? Only thing Ock wants is his$5 ,900 from you, Ocho. What's the holdup? So, yeah, he want to give everybody, he want to give everybody, buy a car and do all this stuff and ain't paying me my money yet. Janice Palmer, hey, my favorite two guys, just want to tell y 'all I love and appreciate you. Pure entertainment. Janice, thank you. Thank you, Janice. Bryce G5W, Ocho still towed his checkbook around to balance. It's on a little bank page in the back of his tee. Hold on. It's on the bank pages in the tee back. But you got your You don't balance no checkbook You ain't wrote a check in so long But I don't remember the last time I wrote a check Plain truth Pat fans We can't win them all But we will be back Bray will got those guys on defense to give it everything they had They played lights out And Ocho Don't worry about the mule Just load the wagon

1:06:12Shannon Sharpe:I rest the way Yes I want a story from Uncle Nocho about the bus, Jerome Bettis. I ain't got no story about the bus. I mean, hold on. I'm trying to think. I played against the bus twice. Actually, I played him in his rookie year, Ocho, when the Rams were in the Anaheim. Rams? Yeah. I mean, we shut him down. I think the bus was rookie of the year that year. And they ended up trading the Pittsburgh. That was 94. That was 94 that I played in.

1:06:47Shannon Sharpe:past nation love this team love drake may great kid very humble exceeded all expectations congrats congrats to seahawks fans fair play uncle nocho what do you recommend the front office doing moving forward well you need a big time receiver yeah receiver um you got to you got to take out trying to think what what pieces are they missing defensively defensively they were they were very they were yeah they were sound defensively safety don't have names but they make plays they ball yeah maybe offensive line ocho i think you're running back to stevenson and henderson i I think they're very good.

1:07:35Chad Johnson:Nice combo.

1:07:38Shannon Sharpe:I think the tight ends are solid. I mean, they're not Trey McBride, but hey, Brock Bowers, but who is besides Trey McBride and Brock Bowers?

1:07:46Chad Johnson:In fact, we are.

1:07:49Shannon Sharpe:Fast forward, Zion may play like trash. McDaniels didn't help him out either. Not enough run attempts. Seattle's defense was blitzing from everywhere. Good old school game. hope Washington took notes from Seattle commit and run the ball yeah 32 I mean it was pretty balanced 32 rush attempts 38 pass attempts

1:08:19Chad Johnson:good balance

1:08:26Shannon Sharpe:that completes this episode of Nightcap Congratulations, Seattle Seahawks, your Super Bowl champs. Thanks to a 29-13 victory. K-9, Kenneth Walker III, is your Super Bowl MVP.
