30:08Shannon Sharpe:Georgia Athletic Department is headed to court. They're trying to recoup$390 ,000 in damages from a former standout defensive end, Damon Wilson, who transferred from the school after his sophomore season. Currently, the top pass rusher on Missouri's defensive line, Wilson played for Georgia as a freshman and sophomore before transferring to Missouri in January, two weeks after signing a new deal with Georgia Classic City Collective. Many schools and collectives have started to include liquidated damages and clauses in their contracts with athletes to protect their investment in players and deter transfers.

30:47Shannon Sharpe:Georgia is one of the first programs to publicly try to enforce the clause by filing lawsuits against the player. Several attorneys who have reviewed the athlete NIL contracts for ESPN in the past say they believe school and their collectives are using liquidated damages clause in bad faith to punish players who break their contract early. Ocho, I told you. Yeah. Did I tell you this? I said, you get them people money and then jump, jump, jump. I said, they're going to do something about this. I told you, we just had this conversation. Yeah, we did. And that's not right. Now, I understand. I understand that that's a good thing.

31:26That's a good thing. And honestly, I think if players are going to leave, if you're going to jump ship, get them people their money back. Get them people their money back so you can't double dip. It's not no problem. And whatever school you're choosing to go to, they should make sure they take care of you. Okay, you know what? If you got to get that 390 back, don't worry about it. we'll give you what we're giving you and we'll put that 390 on top of it if you really who you say you are it shouldn't be no

31:49Shannon Sharpe:problem it look it's kind of like if there's what they call a buyout if a coach get fired he have years left they got to pay him if he wants to leave and go to another college you got to pay them you got to pay the school that you leave it that's really how it works there or here's the thing Ocho normally in media if you try to go somewhere else it's what you call they have a non-compete so if you at one of the major networks and you're like well I want to go over here they say well you ain't gonna take this money and they'll let you go but you ain't gonna be able to do both or if they fire you they might have a non-compete written in so you get fired one place you might have a one or two or three year non-compete where you can't go to a rival network but I agree I agree with you I think the thing is if you take their money just give the money back whatever is left and then you go ahead and move on but uh to be able to keep the money and not fulfill the obligation of playing it doesn't it doesn't seem it doesn't seem right no that's that's not ethical that's not ethical at all that that is basically stealing that scamming and i'm glad that that colleges what georgia specifically uh is is standing up and and players should understand make sure before you get that nil money that's exactly where you want to be make sure it's exactly where you want to be you know because when once they invest in you they want to return on that investment and if you want to up and leave you have to make sure you understand before you spend them people money they're going to want it back if you choose to up and you choose to uproot yourself and go somewhere else yeah i'm look we knew that it i told you i said oh they're gonna do something about this they're not gonna just let you take their money and just go somewhere and go get some more money.

33:43Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, it ain't even been two weeks that you and I was having this conversation. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It was two weeks ago. Two weeks ago exactly, to date, honestly. It's tough. Look, you're dealing with 17, 18, 19 years. They don't really understand the ramifications of like, you know, this is the first time they're kind of like making real money. Ocho, they're not really into the job market. It's not like I'm playing football, but they're paying me to play. So they don't really understand how contracts and things of that nature work. Right. But, you know, hopefully you have representation that reads all the fine print.

34:27I just think the thing is, Ocho, is they need to do something by these agents.

34:34Shannon Sharpe:That's what they need to do. These agents taking 20 % of these kids' money, Ocho. 20. I'm positive 20 is a high number when the NFL they only take 3 % 3-4 % right that don't even sound right whoever getting I almost said the wrong word but whoever is getting taken advantage of where agent is taking 20 % of your money that shouldn't that's a no no Oh, Joe. Brian Schottenheimer said he will have a conversation with George Pickens about the social media post in which has since been deleted in response to criticism received from Richard Sherman. Sherman said Pickens looked uninterested and disengaged during the Cowboys 44-30 loss to the Lions.

35:27Shannon Sharpe:I know somebody else that said that. Now, I don't have the luxury of Sherm like watching it because I just got to look at, you know, got to look and try to look at what I see. Sherman's actually there decided to clap back at Sherman before deleting the post this is a team game laugh my tail off I'm not the only one on the team stop becoming an analyst and talking about one player when he playing a team game lots of ish has to go right explosive plays it's funny cause I thought former players would know that such as Richard you know, ooh-ha, you know what? Sherman, who between ain't ish without the Legion of Boom.

36:10Shannon Sharpe:We all remember San Francisco, brother. Much love. I mean, he got the ninjas. Don't speak on me unless you know the game of football as a player, not a deriding fan analyst that act like double team is not a thing or certain bracket coverages don't exist. Knowing you play ball would show me you a leech weirdo. Now, Twitter, eat this up. Clout, uh, Ocho. Yeah. I told you this. I said, Ocho, he drifted and he seemed disinterested. Did I, chat, did I not say that? I said that, Ocho. And when they show, no, if you watch Sherman, when he showed it, you tell me he was busting his ass, Ocho. Cause you told me we wasn't gonna have this problem.

37:00Shannon Sharpe:Chat, Ocho say he had a, this is what Ocho said. Hold on. Hold on. Ocho said he had a call with Young Bull, and I guarantee you won't have those issues that he had in Pittsburgh. That's what Ocho said, Chad. Go ahead, Ocho. Take off. Now, we done had one problem all season. We shouldn't have any. Ocho, what do you mean one? We shouldn't have any. What do you mean we got one problem? One small game. Ocho, you said the man walking up the damn ball, Ocho. the ball landed right here he didn't even stick his hands out and you said one oh oh the ball oh Joe the deep ball what about the slant routes that he walked up what about the comeback they took his ass out of the game for what do you mean one hold on hold on hold on I got I got a ready I got a register back to the Cowboys game I remember I remember a few plays I remember a few plays I know what you're talking about where it doesn't doesn't look like he's coming off the way he should be or running his routes as hard as they should be remember to come back I remember to come back Reed was able to knock down uh the deep ball fell inside a little bit he beat he beat the double coverage oh the dig route the what's the what you call the mini digs huh yeah the mini dig he would have had to he would have hugged he had to hug that bitch back really friendly and the only way to get back to the ball you have to be coming off the ball hard on that one too mm-hmm yeah those three I do remember so yeah yes you you you are correct you are correct that's the only ones you remember there were more the ball he got picked oh the bounce off the other way he was half and yeah the one he was half yeah that one yep yeah that one yeah yeah so that's the comeback on the sideline it was four down I said I said I'm back started walking towards him like what are you doing.

38:55Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, I get it, bracket coverage, that should mean you should bust your ass even more because what about the time that you're getting the ball and guys are busting their ass for you to lift coverage off of you? Right. So you can't say because they're bracketing me, because they're doing this exotic coverage, like, oh, that gives you the leeway to walk the bull jive. No! Right. But you know what? Also, too, you know what I want to say? Also, too, and I know Pick probably going to see this, you have to understand, is he's such an immense talent, and Dak knows that. The rules don't even count for you.

39:30There may be two or three players, even if you are bracketed, knowing what you can do once the ball is thrown your way, if it's in the vicinity, you can still make that play. So, for everybody else, when they're bracketed, they know the ball ain't coming. But when someone like you is bracketed, you know, when they're playing high and low, shit, oh, the ball is coming. Did you see Philly? What happened in Philly, Ochoa? On that deep ball, the feeling they had him double covered oh yeah that threw it he jumped up and caught it yeah and and that's why in this game in this game you're like man listen we don't care about them doubling you we don't care about you being bracketed then he's still gonna throw the ball shoot now you know now you know it's still coming especially once goddamn cd went out well we ain't got no choice but we got to have you i tell you what we got we got to have you he should first of All for Illinois, look at Illinois coming in hustling, getting it.

40:26Shannon Sharpe:My problem is, is that he's so talented, is that coverage don't dictate how hard I work. You see, he's letting coverage dictate how hard he works, Ocho. You work hard, okay, double. I'm going to beat this double coverage because I'm Ocho. First of all, I don't even see you. I don't even know why you here. I don't even know why you here you can't do that coverage doesn't dictate the defense doesn't dictate how hard I work I get to determine that if the quarterback doesn't throw me the ball the quarterback doesn't throw me the ball but I'm going to bust it every time because the last thing I want to happen Ocho and it always happens like this when you don't bust it that's when the ball comes balls are coming every time that's one of the worst feelings that's one of the worst feelings looking at you sideways.

41:18Shannon Sharpe:And because he's so Ocho bro and you hear stories about being late and doing this and I'm like bro do you get it? There's an opportunity for you to make Ocho there's 35, 40 million dollars at stake. Ocho I promise I'll be early to everything. I ain't missing nothing Ocho. I ain't missing nothing. Cause I'm not gonna give them a reason not to want to give me my money or put clauses in there where they can claw back money. Yeah. That's the last thing that you want somebody to do, to put clauses on, Joe, I got a weight clause. I got a tart in this clause. I got, no, no, no, no, no. I don't need none of that.

41:57Shannon Sharpe:No, no. As a professional, I'm going to be pro how I go about my business. I'm going to show up on time. I get it. Sometimes things happen, but things can't happen 10, 15 times a season. Season, yeah, you're right. You're right. I just, man. I just hate to see guys that have this kind of talent like he got. Special boy. I mean, he got talent at the yin-yang. He can high point the ball. He's tremendous run after the catch. He's a big – he can play through contact. That's what you love about the guy. He can play through contact. He's not thrown off easy like people putting hands on him and it gets him off his rhythm.

42:41Shannon Sharpe:That doesn't bother him. The only person that can start, the only person that can cover George Pickens is George Pickens. Is him. Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's it, George. George, man, you got too much talent. Don't get mad at Sherm because Sherm did his job by pointing out what you were doing. You said you wanted guys. They used to say, ex-athlete says, I want guys that played the game. and while you tried to dump on Sherm, Sherm went to the Pro Bowl and was an all-pro in San Fran. He was. He was. He was a part of the Legion of Boom. There ain't no Legion of Boom without Richard Sherman.

43:23Shannon Sharpe:There's not a Legion of Boom without Cam. There's not a Legion of Boom. So all of those, they're not interchangeable. They made the Legion of Boom and once they started this, if that was the case, once they started breaking it up, there should be another one in there. It should have never fell off. But all of them, they work together. All I'm saying, bro, you cannot let coverage dictate how hard you work. And after that performance that you had against Kansas City and the one that you had against Philly, Ocho, those are just the last two. The way you had played, bro, you were second in receiving yards.

44:06Mm-hmm. yeah and the funny thing about it is the funny thing about it is too is is is now after a game like that where you have those issues you have those issues where you bracket it and you think the ball's not coming your way because i guarantee you i guarantee you this in practice in practice when you're bracketed especially in the practice the quarterback makes the right though the quarterback makes the right read and the ball doesn't come to you so when you get into the game oh shit where they bracketing me well fuck it i know the ball ain't coming shit the hell it ain't the hell it ain't folks and let that thing go because he understands what you can do based on what you did in the past when you were double team i'm gonna give him a shot i'm gonna put it in the area because i know he's the one of the few individuals in the league just forget the team in the league that can make that play with two people on him and the thing is ocho probably they

44:57Shannon Sharpe:didn't anticipate this because everybody else been playing him straight up with the exception of a few coverages. But here's the thing, Ocho. When teams wanted to get T.O. off his game, what did they do to him early, Ocho? Try to frustrate him. Bracket him. Bracket him and beat him up at the line. And so what? So now... Bracket him and beat him up at the line and frustrate him. So guess what, Ocho? I got Randy Moss. I got another receiver over there. All I'm going to do, this is what we're going to do. We're going to make it really tough on him for the first quarter, the first two quarters to get a pass.

45:30First quarter, yeah. Get him off his game. So now, what are teams going to do, Ocho?

45:40Put somebody in his face and put somebody over the top. Every time. Every time. The thing that you don't want to do is to let know what, you see,

45:50Shannon Sharpe:when you let people know what can make you tick, Ocho, they wind you up and make you tick when they want to. Absolutely. Now I know, oh, so you get that little bracket cover, We can frustrate you. You get a little frustrated.

46:06Shannon Sharpe:So that's what I'm going to do to you.

46:12Shannon Sharpe:Knowing I got help over the top, I'm taking away the slam. Yeah.

46:21Shannon Sharpe:Go ahead. Go over the top. I got help.

46:29Shannon Sharpe:That's all. That's all, Pitt. Don't, don't. Yeah. Guys, y 'all got to stop fake somebody meat riding. Y 'all got to stop fake. Y 'all got to think somebody. Bro, it's true. So let me ask you a question. Is there anything that Sherm said that was not true? Now, if Sherm said something that wasn't true, you have every right to be upset. Now, I want you to tell me the one thing Sherm said when he was pointing out what was going on with what you was doing. Tell him the lie that he told. Right. but you know what you know what also too um you got to remember you got to understand the players too today's players they don't they don't see it as critiquing they don't understand that we're most of it yeah it is it's considered it's considered hating in just the way and obviously there's a certain way to deliver it but obviously when the way it's delivered it can be seen as hate not it i don't think today's play will ever look at it but you know what that's so-and-so he played the game maybe he know what he talking about maybe he's right maybe I check myself at the dough before I react how about let me watch film first and go back and see what I look like so maybe they see something I didn't damn I was bracketed but Dak still threw the ball so that means Dak actually believes in me to be able to make those plays no matter who the fuck is covering me okay boom alright I got this I know what to do back to the drawing board Ocho, Sherm was calm.

47:59Shannon Sharpe:All Sherm said, I need you to give me better effort than this. I need, especially now that CD's out, you're the guy. Not saying you're not the guy with CD in, but when CD out, Dak is really going to want to lean on you. And you giving him this kind of – Sherm was as calm as he could be. I know he was. Because as players, Ocho, when we see stuff like this, we're seething. We'll see the color. Come on, bro. Don't because you mess it up because they see that. Oh, Joe, you see, because that's what they take that say. That's why we don't give these guys guaranteed contracts. You see, if we give them that guaranteed money, Ocho, they're going to shut it off on us.

48:41Shannon Sharpe:That's what they'll use an isolated incident. They'll forget the 50 guys that playing hard all the time. They'll take the one guy to take a game off or play it to off and use it to paint a broad paint a big picture of everybody. is like that and it's not. Yeah. Right. Exactly. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Absolutely. And Sherm, Chad, I tell you, go watch Sherm and how Sherm was just as calm. Sherm would just explain it. Look at this route right here. Look at this. He's not busted inside. This is why the guy's able to, that's why the guy's able to break up the slam when he's on the left-hand side.

49:19Shannon Sharpe:This is why the guy was able to, because he's not busting it all the way in there and fighting through the ball. That's why he was able to get it out. He said, Throw the deep ball. Bro, all you had to do was this. And people got upset with Jerry Judy. I don't think Jerry Judy could have caught that ball. It's hard for me to believe that pick, knowing who the pick is and seeing the catches that he's made.

49:50Ocho, I think the thing.

49:53Shannon Sharpe:If somebody. You got me. You right. that yeah that's the approach picture you know what got because you know Ocho you they're playing at the game like lord have mercy wow it's a bull job on that play right the boy they're gonna kill and listen and you can admit to yourself too you're gonna you're gonna admit to yourself you know what you yeah that's me that's always yes oh you never been some games I had some great games passing they're like man sharp you ball out today I said boy you wait y 'all see that run blocky boy i was good and terrible i said lord have mercy yeah but you know it ocho you because you know what guess who know you better than you you you know you better than anybody we might but pick no that's why he got so upset about it because you know sharon was right that's what we get upset ocho with somebody right and they got us dead to right we try to get loud to try to talk bro you loud and roll you gotta fire back and you get defensive hold on who do the Cowboys play tomorrow no the Cowboys don't play tomorrow they play next Sunday or next Thursday next Sunday don't they got the Vikings

51:18Shannon Sharpe:they got Vikings on Sunday a week from Sunday they got the Vikings okay okay okay oh that's because they just played thursday huh okay all right that's it sometimes ocho they get you yeah hey that you right there because remember ocho when they say that sky not because the sky don't the eye in the sky it don't care how it don't laugh as a matter of fact it doesn't even know the eye in the sky doesn't know if you black or white all it does is capture what is being pointed that. So you could go back and say, man, this is what I did. Okay. Go put that thing on the thing. Is that you right there? What's your number?

51:57Shannon Sharpe:He got a circle. Is that you? Yeah. Yeah. That's me. So I asked you in the game, what did you do? You said you did this. Right. So tell me is this what we was coached to do? Is this what we were asked to do. Right.

57:42Shannon Sharpe:Cleveland plans to keep quarterback Deshaun Watson on his roster into the 2026 season. According to Adam Schefter, Watson has not played since ruptured his Achilles October 20, 2024 against the Bengals. He retore the Achilles shortly thereafter. The Browns believe Watson has contributed to their quarterback room and provided a veteran presence and has had value for their rookie quarterback. As it is, Watson has a salary cap of$81.7 million in 26, which will be the highest in NFL history. Ocho, check this out. moving on from Watson would be very costly as the Browns would incur a $135 million dead cap hit if they released him before June 1st and a$53 million cap hit charge if they were to designate him for a post June 1st cap casualty you know what that's crazy huh either way it goes it's a lose lose for the Browns so what do they do with him next year I mean you've been a good game for a long time guaranteed.

58:51Shannon Sharpe:I might as well get, Ocho, let me ask you a question. If you already don't pay for the car, I don't even like this car no more. I'm going to drive it. It's paid for. I'm going to drive that motor. Right. I got it. I done paid. His money guaranteed in 26. 46 million is guaranteed. So I'm going to get on that and see if you can win a game or two for us. I ain't lying. I ain't lying, Ocho.

59:20Shannon Sharpe:I mean, unless they really, really want him gone bad. But like you said, he hadn't been a problem. It hasn't worked out as they'd hoped. But they say he's been a veteran presence. He really helped the quarterback locker room. Yeah. So.

59:45So you see him staying after this year? I do. I do. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's good.

59:59Shannon Sharpe:Because I think they're going to let Shadour. I think they're going to let Shadour try to finish out these last five games. Yes, sir. Because they're going to have to make a decision. do we have the quarterback that can take the Cleveland Browns look what's in that division you got Joe Burrow and you got Lamar Jackson I think Pittsburgh, I think Aaron Rodgers is going to leave this year I think this is his last year, he's like nah I'm not going to win another championship I'm not close to winning a championship let me go on home I don't took enough punishment, 20 years, 21 years how many years he's played, I'm about to be 42 years of age, I'm good, he's done but you still got to compete with Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow and without a quarterback I don't care how good your defense is without a quarterback you don't have a chance you got the best defensive player in football and it's not close and y 'all not close to winning that division or winning a playoff game or winning a championship so without a quarterback you can't compete you know what's funny the Browns would be able to compete even for a championship too without having a quarterback if they had a Miles Garrett type player at each position on defense.

1:01:10I'm being honest. Well, yeah.

1:01:12Shannon Sharpe:How you going to pay him, though? So you going to have every offensive player on a rookie contract make a league minimum? Hey, that's the only way. Miles Garrett at every position.

1:01:32Shannon Sharpe:According to Philly reporter Ashlyn Sullivan, the Eagles have installed a positivity rabbit in the locker room. It showed up today, and the offensive line stressed to me they are not sad. They just wanted a goodbye bunny. What is this? That's the bunny? Yeah, in the locker room. You being serious? Hello, yeah. Or is this AI? No, I don't know if you can see. Can you see those cameras? Can you see that Eagle? Do you see those Superbowl logo?

1:02:11I mean, I don't understand this.

1:02:14Shannon Sharpe:I think Saquon was talking about it at some point in time. I don't understand this. Taking up a lot of space, I know that. A lot, cause it look big as hell. Well, hold on. Why you taking it to money? Why you gotta say happy Easter? Here we are in smack dab in December.

1:02:32yeah i think i don't got things to say i know it's real happy easter easter was back in april i guess they say y 'all laying eggs

1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:that's what they that's with the bunny

1:02:48that's funny i mean i guess to each his own whatever you know they try they try ojo you

1:02:54Shannon Sharpe:know they try everything bro oh joe you don't be in the locker room with y 'all losing and you know they try some of everything yeah all the time i know what you're talking about try hey bro you gotta break that bad people superstitious for real though hey if we losing hey i tried i go touching bunny every day. Rub his head and everything.

1:03:25Shannon Sharpe:Man, think I won when he would. Ocho, it's time to play on Fade presented by Prize Picks.

1:03:45Shannon Sharpe:Alright, Joe Burrow, more than 250, more than 251 passing yards more. Yes. What kind of question is that? Anytime Joe Burko plays against the Buffalo Bills, he throws for more than 250 yards. That's competent. Okay, yeah. Okay, we go. Cloudy. Okay, and they got Higgins coming back. Okay, I'm going. And Joey Bosa is out. I told you that. And Bernard is out. Yeah, I'm going more. Even if he was there, even he not there, so there's that. Quinson Judkins, more than he's going to have a touchdown. At least one touchdown. Oh, yeah. Of course. Who the Browns play? They playing the Titans, they playing the Titans.

1:04:27Shannon Sharpe:JJ McCarthy, less than 187 passing yards. Shoot. Who they play? Hey, he's so inconsistent. Ain't no telling. What he going to do? Oh, he out tomorrow. Isn't he out? I thought he was out.

1:04:47Shannon Sharpe:Where they play it. Let me see. How many yards do both Knicks have?

1:06:37Shannon Sharpe:Use code SHANNON to get$50 in lineups after you play your first$5 lineup. Prize picks. It's good to be right.

1:06:48Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, per Chris Haynes, during the Clippers' loss to the Mavs, Chris Paul told Kawhi to switch off Klay because he was struggling to keep up. Jeff Van Gundy shut that down immediately. You might have had leeway in other places to change defensive coverages. but you don't have that leeway here. Video also surfaced of Ty Lue catching Chris Paul talking to his girl. Ocho? Yeah. Everybody tried to tell me, whoa, Shannon. I'm telling you, you don't get the same privileges every locker room that you go into, especially if you're not that same player able to play at that level. See, y 'all talking about when you don't know basketball, I'm telling you how locker rooms function.

1:07:34Right. I'm telling you, you can't take that and say,

1:07:38Shannon Sharpe:well, I used to do this, I used to do that. Ocho, when I went to the Baltimore Ravens, I wasn't the same player, and I didn't have the same voice. I wasn't as outgoing, boisterous, but I would pull certain guys to the side. I ain't telling them, don't do this, don't do that, don't listen to the coach. I don't know why y 'all think... Go ahead, Ocho, what you thinking? You're right, you're right, I'm understanding. I got a better understanding of it, how it works. Obviously, I would think someone of Chris Paul's caliber, his resume, his accolades, you know, on the court, just having the respect that he does, you know, amongst his peers.

1:08:18I thought he would have carried a little bit more weight. But now with me talking to other NBA players, they helped me understand that at that point, you know, and you get to a point in your career where you got to be self-aware. What you were able to pull off when you were younger and you were that guy, it just doesn't work later on in your career. So now that I know and I'm hearing it from other players that played the game and were really good at what they do, they understand and they have self-awareness and knowing that, you know what, I can't pull it off right now. I can't pull it off.

1:08:47Shannon Sharpe:You don't have that. He's not that player that can do what he once did. Jeff ain't going to say that so much. I mean, Jeff ain't saying you might have had leeway to change that, but you can't do that here. You're not going to do that here. And I understand it too. Can you imagine chasing Clay ass around off him? Got damn screens and pics and having to having to try to squeeze to a bowl over the top. Well, you, well, you, your cardio got to be on point, man. Shoot. Cause Clay from the catch and shooting embarrass you all night. Yeah. I think, I don't know if it was AI, but there was a clip that was surfacing about T.

1:09:19Shannon Sharpe:Lou said F. Chris Paul CP or something, something that I just think the thing is, is that look, he, they brought him there for leadership. but leadership looked different in different places the way you led one place that doesn't necessarily mean you can lead that way at this place plus that's James Harden they got a veteran club it's not the same as when you was at OKC and you had Shea and you had all those young guns it's different Kawhi is a proven commodity James Harden has been an MVP Zubas is 6, 7, 8 years they don't have a young team so your voice what is needed from you is different at a different location and you have to understand that understand I'm not the same CP3 as a matter of fact Ocho he Cliff Paul he ain't Chris Paul he Cliff Paul the state farm agent the other half hey that's a good one he clicked that's a good one and he forgot he thought he was chris no bro you clear right clif doesn't have the same say he doesn't have the same leeway the freedom the liberties that chris paul had yeah you're right you're right i like that one that was a good one

1:10:52Man

1:10:55Shannon Sharpe:You know it had to be bad don't you The man said this is his last year And they did this at 3am in the morning They had a conversation with this man 3am in the morning Do you know how bad it got to be For your team to call you at 3am in the morning And say your services the little bit of services that you were providing is no longer needed. Yeah.

1:11:23And you know, we only get most of the story on surface level. There are more layers that we don't know about that I'm sure that transpired that made it happen that way. And we know the beginning and we know the end. All the stuff in between, the good stuff that we don't know about will be a tall tale on why it ended up happening like this at 3 in the morning.

1:11:56Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Lord have mercy. A recent study on average sex duration country-wise is as follows. Look at the board, Ocho. Ecuador, 24 minutes. so as y 'all can see United States is two minutes boy I'm sure glad I ain't Pakistani I can't I can't I can't even see that it's so little yeah it's open I just look at Pakistani 42 seconds that's what Pakistani said the average duration is 42 the United States is two minutes yeah that's me right there that's me i represent us very well because it don't it don't it don't it don't take long for me to get in in and out i'm i'm here i'm here by business you know you know i'm here by business hey whole ecuador you don't say oh ecuador you're not what they call me with uh where ecuador number one 24 minutes yeah they ain't got no way to go get your phone Ash texted to you Oh There we go There we go Here we go Here we go Okay 24 from Ecuador Cameroon 23 Okay Cuba 22 Jamaica 17 Yeah Anything over 5 minutes Yeah you can count me out Cause I mean What we doing What are we trying to accomplish Yeah I know what I'm trying to accomplish

1:13:29I don't have the time I got places to be I got places to be in anything

1:13:35Shannon Sharpe:ain't got nowhere to be I got a simple motto if I take the time to do it I'm gonna take the time to do it right oh I got you I feel you and I'm gonna take the time to do it right under five minutes so you might be Pakistani yeah I mean I'm like I mean that's ridiculous I don't even know what y 'all do I don't even know what's really going on with Pakistan 20 seconds I mean 42 seconds in and out huh they ain't even in and out no choke and we got no time for foreplay listen we got we got stuff to tend to china minute 24 turkey what you have two minutes so what about all them guys what about all the people that go 10 minutes 15 20 30 for the average time so let me ask you a question think about ojo if the average time is 42 seconds what about the people that just I mean yeah that happens especially when it comes to excitement first person, first time, first encounter it happens the first time you excited everybody excited everybody is at their crescendo everybody is at their apex their zenith their day new war so you at the highest you can be like oh my goodness yeah Yeah, it happens.

1:15:01To me, I'm just being honest. For someone like myself, I've been around the moon. I done seen the stars. I done climbed mountains, higher than Mount Everest. And anything over five minutes, at that point, it becomes performative. It's as if you're putting on a show. I am! Yeah, I mean, what you're there to accomplish, it doesn't take 10, 15 minutes. Because if it takes you that long to get there, then the person you with, the faster you learn that individual's body, the less of the time you have to be in the damn bedroom

Nate Frazier, that dude, winning the chip this year, you need to start rooting for your home team, Unk. I'm going to root for Nate Frazier. Who'd who?

1:29:33Shannon Sharpe:Unk. Dr. Bryant is not a real doctor. Bro, we having a conversation. Y 'all find something. I mean, is there any guests that you guys have liked? You find something wrong with every guest I got. I mean, Oprah didn't always have A-listers. She had different people. She interviewed Klu Klux Klan members. She interviewed this one, murderers, this. She interviewed some of all people. Why do you have a problem with who I have on the platform? If Dr. Brian is not your cup of tea, just fast forward. Just don't even watch that episode. I thought she was interesting. I enjoyed the conversation that we had.

1:30:08Shannon Sharpe:I did. I thoroughly did. Hopefully, a lot of people enjoyed the conversation. But if they did, that's okay. I'd like to think I've had a very eclectic group of people from influencers, entertainers, athletes, celebs. I think I've had over the 150, almost 200 interviews that I've done. I would like to think everybody's not going to like every person that I've interviewed. No. And that's okay. But I tried to find a very diverse group of people that can share their story, which she did. And I don't get caught in that. My job is not to interrupt. My job is not to be belligerent and come off as confrontational.

1:30:51Shannon Sharpe:That's not what I'm there for. They come on my platform. I allow them to tell their story, unedited. I ask if there are any questions that they don't want to talk about, and I move on from there. She was fine. But if that's not who y 'all guys want to lead to, it's fine. I'm cool with it. Maybe you'll like the next guest we have on. If not, maybe the next guest. OC underscore Lofton, Indiana 1, Georgia 2, Ohio State 3, Texas Tech, four. Oregon, five. A &M, six. Ole Miss, seven.

1:34:37Shannon Sharpe:So, is it too soon to get excited about my Panthers with the Bucs playing the Saints tomorrow? Can't look ahead. You got to take care of this. Hey, Saints defense can get after you. Mm-hmm. And the only problem with the Saints, they ain't got no damn offense. But see, the thing is, is that we got a couple of tableclays. We sack your quarterback, force a turnover, get a pick, block a punt, scoop and score. Yeah. Level the playing field.

And I think that's why I was so successful at it is because I did have fun. I didn't look at it. It was a job, but I didn't look at it as that. I did not.
