In short

Nightcap Hour 2 mixes sports talk (track & field, NFL) with reactions to coaching/practice culture and a few guest-style Q&A moments.

Guests

Unc and Ocho (podcast hosts). No other named guests appear in the transcript.

Key claims

  1. Track: Sydney McLaughlin ran 48.29 in the world championships semifinals, cutting 0.41 off the American record; hosts argue it implies she may need low-48s or even a sub-48 to win gold and that the world record is likely safe.
  2. Track: They debate whether USA Today/USATF rankings are wrong (they say McLaughlin’s 48.29 is 7th fastest, not 11th), and note some athletes have multiple sub-48 performances counted.
  3. NFL: Ben Johnson criticized the Bears’ practice habits as not yet “championship caliber,” citing fundamentals like blocking, catching, ball security, and finishing technique.
  4. College football: Dabo Swinney defended Clemson’s program by pointing to recent dominance (league titles, playoff appearances, national championships).

Notable examples

McLaughlin’s record cut; mentions of Valerie Briscoe, Kathy Freeman, Olga Brzezinski, and pole vault/shot put results; NFL discussion of Aaron Rodgers’ post-Achilles mobility and Kirk Cousins’ status with the Falcons.

To honor our country on its 250th birthday, This can of Copenhagen goes out to those defending the free American soil that our tobacco has taken root in for over two centuries and counting.

2:30Here's to the calloused hands of freedom. Copenhagen, saluting American grit, proven since 1822. Warning, this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes.

2:45Shannon Sharpe:After nearly two decades, 19 years, Sonia Richards-Ross held the American record in the 400 meters at a time of 48-70. On the exact same day, 19 years later, Sidney McLaughlin took it down. In the semifinals of the World Track and Field Championship, McLaughlin clocked 48-29. I think that's off-ashes the seventh fastest time in history, not the 11th, but it was the fastest time by an American. She took.41 seconds off the American record. Sid said she was shocked at the performance, saying she wasn't expecting that. That's a blistering time, and she backed it down at the end. Yeah. Maybe I'm the only one to lie that remember when Madarena Koch set the world record of 47-60.

3:35Shannon Sharpe:There have only been two women that's ever cracked sub-48. Kratilova, who's an 800-meter runner, Ocho, she ran 47.99. And then Koch ended up running 47.60. And if I'm not mistaken, I think she ran it from lane two. Now, Nasser has been down there. I think she's 48.11. I think Paulino, who's actually in this race, I think she's run like 48.17. Marie-José Perrette, the French lady she's back-to-back Olympic champ she also won the 200 in Atlanta she won the 4 and the 2 I'm trying to think who else has been a low time they had this Russian, Brezina she ran on the 88 team I think she was the one to help Flo Jo off if I'm not mistaken, Ocho, my memory serves me correct they've been a few, Kathy Freeman there have been some great 400 meter runners Valerie Briscoe, Hook, Kathy Freeman Parekh Nassar, Paulino Cope, Kratilova Sydney McLaughlin and she said something very interesting she said look let somebody go up under 48 before we start talking about 4760 because I don't think understand what people understand just how fast that is for a woman that's booking you literally you're going to probably have to go out in 22 seconds and come home in 25, 25, 5 let that sink in because normally they're going out in 23 and try to come home in 25, she's going to have to go out in 22 and come home in 25 and a half she's got the people in the race that can push her Nasser takes the pace out.

5:30Shannon Sharpe:Paulino liked the track. She liked she played with fire there and almost didn't make it. But we'll see what her look. Sydney's fitness is impeccable. I believe it's going to take low 48, 48-0 or they might have to dip under 48 in order for her to win this gold medal. When is that race? Well, I think it's today already over there. Well, today it'll be tomorrow for us. Because I think they're a day ahead of us. Yeah. So it'll be Friday for them. So, yeah. I mean, Sid, man, and she told Louis she wasn't expecting that. Because, you know, normally, Ocho, I'm doing just enough to win, to qualify, get the third lane, and then now in the finals, I can drop the hammer.

6:24Shannon Sharpe:But to run 48-29 and take 41.41 off the American record. She was cruising. She was cruising. She was cruising. This is why Fimke, Bo, the Dutch runner, can't beat in the hurdles. She ain't got the foot speed. She ain't got the foot speed. Right. What were you going to do with someone that can run 48 seconds? I mean, it's going to be very impressive. If she abandoned the hurdles and sets her sights in 28 and the over four, and she get the world record in the four and the hurdles? Yeah. Lord. Because I didn't think in my lifetime I would see somebody get this coach record. This record is 40 years old.

7:22Shannon Sharpe:I thought that, I mean, nobody's come close. there's only been two women in the history that's ever run sub 48 so what may and nobody's come close like NASA ran 48 11 but she got popped right so like uh Perret when she ran the French runner when she she was a double 400 there ain't been a whole lot of women double up I think Shawnee Miller Weibo I think she doubled up also but Ocho that's booking that is booking very and I think people really don't understand how fast it is and reference you saying booking unless you watch track unless you know track or you ran track and realized how hard it is to run how hard it is to run a 52nd lap unless that's a to run 49 to run 48 for a woman yeah and then we talk about 47 if see it get if see it break this world record that record might be like both you might have to go three four five about three generations before you see somebody break that record or somebody see you break it again because i think that's what's going to happen with both because we haven't seen we haven't seen anybody come close the closest as anybody's ever come was Tyson Gay and Johan Blake at 968.

8:51Shannon Sharpe:He's at 958. Hey. But both were moving in that race. I still believe Ocho. Had he not celebrated Beijing. Right. He's low 950. He might even go sub 950. He broke Guys, he's light years in front of everybody. I just wish, but he was so happy. I understand the moment. I just wish he had ran through the tape. I just wish he'd ran through the tape. Because that time would have never been broken. You're going to have to be on a motorcycle or have a hurricane behind you. That's the one or two things. You're on a motorcycle or you've got a hurricane behind you. That's it. But Sid, she's in phenomenal shape.

9:45Shannon Sharpe:and I think it's going to take a special time. I think it's going to be 48-0 or sub. I think the world record's safe. Me personally, I think the world record is safe. But I do think 48-0 or maybe a tick under 48 is doable. I think it's doable. And then I think over the next, you know, could she possibly double? they're going to have to set the schedule like they did for Michael Johnson Valerie Briscoe Hooks, I forgot about Valerie Briscoe Hooks, I forgot she was a great, she was the first person to pull the double, the 4-2 and she did it in 84 so we've had Shonda Cheeseborough, we've had some great runners in the 400 but hold on, we got a great 400 runner right now in the family oh your daughter?

10:40Yeah, Ray, yeah. I hope you're watching. You see what Sid's doing. She had, you know, first in Kentucky. Oh, you're going to run for Kentucky too? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she up there. Yeah, she had been in Kentucky. Yeah. Yeah.

10:55Shannon Sharpe:She better be watching too. Well, I think the head coach, when Sid went with Edric Flor, I think he's at University of Texas now. Oh, he left? I think so. I think. If I'm not mistaken, I think he's at UT now. But Sid's booking. Ash, it's the seventh fastest, not the 11th fastest, correct?

11:18Shannon Sharpe:It's the 11th fastest?

11:24Nah. Mm-mm.

11:27Shannon Sharpe:I'm going to disagree. Because 4760, 4799, 4814, 4817, 4825, Marie-Josee Perret, 4827, Olga Brzezinski. and Sidney McLaughlin number seven at 4829. So I don't know where they get this from. The 11th fastest time is by Kathy Freeman, 4863, at the Olympics in Atlanta.

11:56Shannon Sharpe:So we're going to disagree with USA Today or USA Track and Field. Yeah. I would disagree. Hold on. They say it's the 11th fastest time in history. How?

12:15Shannon Sharpe:uh uh pull it up pull it up pull it up ash right quick google it because something ain't adding up i hope they threw men in there

12:30Shannon Sharpe:oh oh oh okay so what they're doing if she ran more than one time under the time on the sidstime, they're counting that. Okay, okay. So I was just... Wow. Yeah, but look, I'm going to leave that alone because we know the system that the East Germans and the old Soviet had in place. But let's leave that alone. Hey, she ran the time. It got ratified. Hey, we'll leave that alone, don't you?

13:06Shannon Sharpe:Okay, okay. The 11th fastest time, the 7th fastest person, because Coke ran two, she ran 48.16 twice, and she ran 48.22. So she got four of the top fast seven times in the country. Gold medal in the 110-meter hurry. It's the difference between trying to talk to your friends over the music at a bar and having dinner where you can actually hear each other. between getting food delivered and cooking something you know she's going to love.

24:28Shannon Sharpe:I'm just, you know. I'm just saying. If you look at it, if you look at it, gold medal in the Olympics, gold medal in the world championships, I I I

24:50Shannon Sharpe:I feel very comfortable. Do y 'all have the greatest male and female woman sprinter of all time? Yes, Usain is the greatest male sprinter. He's the greatest sprinter. Woman sprinter is Shelly and Brasier Price. Absolutely. I'm not arguing that. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not arguing that. Shelly and is unbelievable. I mean, five world championships, two Olympic goals, a 200-meter championship, two 4x1 championships. What's the argument? She's the greatest. Usain, I don't even have to say anything. I don't need to say, hey, you just say Usain Bolt, the greatest sprinter ever. Shelly Ann is the greatest woman sprinter ever.

25:37Shannon Sharpe:But, you know, we're going to see. We're going to see. We're going to try to make it. We're going to make it two for two. Sweepstakes. Yeah. Hey, MJ got this. Yeah.

26:30Shannon Sharpe:What do you mean it wasn't an upset?

26:35Shannon Sharpe:It is. if you beat the champ it's upset I'm not saying Oblique hadn't been running well Noah hadn't been Noah hadn't had a whole lot he was dealing with some injuries that's what he said he didn't run a whole lot didn't run a whole lot of 100 meters didn't run all and he's taught himself he's a 200 meter specialist like Usain that taught himself how to be a good 100 meter runner Ocho but I gave Seville and Thompson the credit they go under goal and said they did they beat him but i'm worried i'm i'm worried i'm worried about this 200 why look i'm waiting i'm waiting he seems to be fit so it should look we know about we know about noah we know about benary we know about tobogo i don't know if anybody else can really challenge those three noah seems to be right as he's run and he had to run rounds he's kind of run himself conditioned where it needs to be because there's nothing like racing.

28:11Shannon Sharpe:and everybody that's in this race he has the fastest time he's run 1931 he has the fastest time this year in 1963 Bignaric is close behind him in 1967 and then Tobogo is at what 1976 we know Tobogo has run I think he ran 1941 1943 at the Olympics so we know to Bogo can run. We know he has 200-meter capabilities. He got DQ'd out of the 100 meters. But it's going to be interesting to see. God don't know it. Who want to bet something on it? Put something on it. Uh-oh.

Y 'all took Golden Silver in the 100. We finna take Golden Silver in the 200. That's what we about to do, Ocho. That's what we about to do. What we got next? What we got next? Ocho, one NFL scout feel Aaron Rodgers looked more comfortable with the Steelers than he did during his final campaign with the Jets.

33:23Shannon Sharpe:AFC scout told ESPN Jeremy Fowler that Rodgers' week five game with the Jets last season in London marked six to eight weeks of absolute zero mobility due to injury. He was compromised, and it showed. But just being a year removed from an Achilles tear, he seems a little bit more secure and a little less hesitant compared to a year ago. After week two loss, Rodgers said he believed he's moving a little bit better than in the season opener. Look, first of all, he's about to be 41, and he's coming off an Achilles injury. I mean, it wasn't like he was Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson to begin with. but as you age and you got that that's a significant injury Ocho that used to be a death sentence you got that injury absolutely not a career ender put it like that so but for him to still be able to like he can buy time Ocho he was never yeah he was athletic enough to get out of harm's way and be able to move he doesn't move with the ease that he once did but he still he He can move well enough to make plays.

34:33Shannon Sharpe:And, yes, it's the year after the surgery, but it's the year after that, Ocho. So last year was that first year. But that next year after, you get a little bit of that. Now, see, Adrian Peterson spoiled us. Because we saw a guy get his tailed knee up in December and then come back the following September, and he's like, ain't nothing, man. They lied. He won in 2097, won the MVP off the plate. So he got people spoiled that have a significant injury and come back. And it wasn't the year after. It was the very year after. It wasn't the year after the year. It was that next season. And he did that.

35:16Shannon Sharpe:But I think the thing is that with Rodgers, if you go back and look at him, Ocho, the game that he played really well, Jacksonville and Miami late in the season, is warm weather. We'll see when the temperature starts to get cold, and it will in Pittsburgh, and the temperature will get cold in where, Ocho? Cincinnati, and it will get cold in Baltimore. And you know as we get to, oh, there's a reason why people move to, as people start to age, they move to Arizona. They move to Florida. They not try to be in those damn cold weather cities, Ocho, because like my grandma said, these old booms ain't what they used to be.

35:54Yeah, I mean, even though even though he's not where he used to be, he's coming from the coldest weather city where he plays football. And being in Pittsburgh, it gets cold, but we talk about, you know, 30, 40. That's cold. You were playing below zero. Below zero at times. So I think he's going to fare. He's going to be okay, especially a year and a year removed from that surgery. He's going to be all right, especially with the scouter saying about him looking a little more calm, a little bit more comfortable in the pocket, especially when he's having two extend plays, he's going to be all right.

36:29He's going to be all right.

36:31Shannon Sharpe:Ocho say he's going to be all right. Ocho, Atlanta Falcons backup Kirk Cousins isn't unanimously viewed as an impactor contributor under center within the league, according to NFL insider James Farmer. There were some people around the league that I talked to that Kirk Cousins is essentially done. Nah, he's still collecting the check. He's still got some media. Dan Rossini reported that the Falcons don't have any immediate plans to trade Cousins despite several injuries to starting quarterbacks on opposing teams. I think if somebody reached – Don't hate Atlanta. Don't hate because what you could do – listen, I'm not Mike Brown.

37:10I'm not Katie Blackburn. I'm not Troy Blackburn. I'm not Duke Tobin. But I know if all else fails, we can go ahead and get Kirk Cousins over there to Cincinnati.

37:21Shannon Sharpe:Too much money. Y 'all ain't fit to pay that. You know he got like $40 million on that contract, Ocho, this year. I know. And then he got another. He probably got after all. They gave 50, 30. Stay with me now. Stay with me real quick. How much of that is Atlanta willing to pay? Huh? I'm not fit to. Hold on. Ocho, so let me get this straight. You want to move into my house and you want, well, hey, how much or the mortgage you're going to pay? Nothing, because I don't live there no more. Okay, I'm just throwing it back at you. But listen, you know what? I'm just talking. Listen, I'm just talking.

38:01I know what he can do at the quarterback position when it comes to throwing that goddamn ball. And you got two phenomenal, the best duo in the NFL over there in Cincinnati, but we good. We got Brown.

38:12Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, yeah, I do believe, because guess what, Ocho? You know, your offensive line is not the best. and what can he do? Move. Yeah, he can't. He can't. That wasn't necessary, though. You ain't had to bring that up. You want him to get there and be like Joe Burrow? So you have two quarterbacks. But I'm just saying, you didn't need to bring up anything about our offensive line. Do y 'all know his offensive line ain't good? They say they know your offensive line ain't good, don't you? It's betting the Broncos. No, it ain't. It's not. Did y 'all win last week? No, we did not win, Ocho. You shouldn't even be talking about football.

38:54You shouldn't even be talking about football.

38:56Shannon Sharpe:Okay. You got me. You got me. Ben Johnson says Bears don't have championship caliber practice habits yet. The Bears are 0-2 and on the NFL worst point differential, minus 34, which pretty much speaks for itself. For Johnson, the problem stemmed from the part of a bad preparation because his squad practice bad habits aren't yet to reflect a championship caliber team. We should be going to football, finishing hard. We talk about this all the time with offensive players that are fundamentals. I finish our technique, then they show up and walk. That's you. Let me finish this on show. They need to show up on the practice field.

39:41Shannon Sharpe:That's how you show up on game day. simple things, how we properly block, how we catch the ball, how we block after the catch, ball security, things like that. It's the little things that you learn in youth league football that even at this level, they make a huge difference.

40:01Shannon Sharpe:When Mike first got there, 1995, Ochoa. Yeah. Put up there and said, this is what I expect. You catch a pass, I don't care how far the pass is, you finish 40 yards. Okay? He said, we do walk-throughs. It's really not a walk-through. It's a jog-through. This is how we do. We don't walk on the field. We don't walk off the field. We jog on. We jog off. They thought Mike was bullshit. They thought Mike was bull-jiving. Right, right, right. After he started cutting a few people. we got everybody on the bottom of the tension oh yeah absolutely and then you know we win and everybody start to feel good Ocho we go to walk through guys out there in Tim's

40:57Shannon Sharpe:guys out there guys out there in Tim's guys out there in Ugg's hey cause Mike would be like we'd be practicing right where I am Ocho Mike would be down there like 20, 30 yards. Yeah. And he had his arms folded. And he normally, he used to have his arms, he normally have his hands in his pockets. Anybody you play for the Broncos, or you're a reporter, you've been around him, you know he's standing down there, he got his hands in his pockets. That day, he had his arms just like this here. All right. Man, who was acting in them damn Tim? That's what I wanted. All right, well, damn. He didn't say nothing.

41:38Shannon Sharpe:Because normally, you know, he happens to have the call sheet and you're cool. He'll like cool, which means he want to see the first play again. Cool. Right. You want to see play number six again. Ain't say nothing.

41:54Shannon Sharpe:Well, that's what you're. So we run through it. You know, we run through it to our offense. Defense come. Offense again. Defense might call it up.

42:08Shannon Sharpe:Just like, you know, because normally when he calls everybody to get up, you know, we run up there, ain't no dragging around. We run up there like he'd be about to feed us the last supper or something. We run up there, try to get a good old meal. But anyway, he paused, he don't say anything.

42:25Shannon Sharpe:Then all of a sudden he said, I don't know what the hell y 'all think this is. He said, this is real. This is what you do. This is what you get paid for. Everybody's here. because I want you to be here. And when we come out here, we don't do things the right way sometimes. We do things the right way all the time. Now, whomever I see in them Timberland boots and shower shoes and Uggs, you won't be on this team no more. But you know how you know, I say, man, Man, come on, bro. Just put on turf. Ocho, remember you used to have turf shoes, Ocho? Because you had the little knock on you. Yes, yes. I said, guys, if y 'all not going to work cleats, just put those on so you could.

43:19Shannon Sharpe:Right. Ocho, how you a DB and got on teams? Come on, Ocho. You a linebacker, you got on teams. You a wide receiver, you got on teams. Really? It's walkthrough, though. Walkthrough, though. It ain't no walkthrough. We told you. It ain't no walkthrough. Ain't no walking. I look like y 'all. Man, John throwing the ball 30 yards down the field. How the hell are you going to do a walkthrough and you walking and he throwing the ball 30 yards? Hey, that's funny. Man, I bet you ain't nobody else showed up with that bull, John. Man, them guys are coming at it. Ocho, they got on their jeans. They got on.

44:03Shannon Sharpe:Then they try to get slick. They have on sweats over their jeans.

44:13Shannon Sharpe:when I try to tell him man shop okay okay okay so you're right you're right I'm gonna leave it alone you right you exactly right

44:27Shannon Sharpe:Dabo Sweeney defended his program which started warning two during the heated news cover saying hey listen if Clemson's tired of winning they can send me on my way but I'm gonna go somewhere else and coach. I ain't got to go to the beach. Hell, I'm 55. I've got a long way to go. Y 'all going to have to deal with me for a while. All we've done is win. We've won the league eight out of the last 10 years. Is that not good? I'm just asking, is that not good to win your league eight out of 10 years, go to the playoffs seven out of 10 years, be in four national championships, win two, win it twice? Yeah, we're going to look down right now.

45:02Shannon Sharpe:Take your shots. I've got a long memory we'll be alright we'll bounce back

45:10Shannon Sharpe:every single season every single season as a coach every single season as a player you gotta update your resume every year you gotta update your resume so brother Dabo talking about what they did in the past as if it holds any weight to date eh it's great for stories it's great for conversation barbershop topics it has no effect on the program and you being one and two I guarantee you they take his ass in Alabama right now you know he played wide receiver at Alabama Dabo played receiver okay it's that boy you know in the south they had a way of pronouncing thing it's that boy and they thought they were saying dabble right hence dabble you know we got away with words Ocho yeah we do it happens I mean no winning the league 8 out of 10 years it's great being in 4 national championships and winning 2 it's great could have won 3 could have lost I mean, the one you lost to Alabama the first year, you could have won that one.

46:32Shannon Sharpe:The one you won, you could have lost that one. You wasn't beating LSU. They beat the brakes off y 'all. They beat the absolute brakes out of you.

46:44But, nah, he, uh, now Dabo's a good coach.

46:48Shannon Sharpe:You ain't, you ain't, there ain't very many coaches coaching right now better than Dabo. There ain't very many head coaches coaching right now got a resume that's as impressive as he is. I know Ryan Day has been winning Kirby Smart but you ain't going much further than that that you taking over Dabo right I'm just saying not his resume not the amount of guys that he's put in the NFL not the many times that he's won like he said he's won the title and you know he's been in the college football playoffs 7 out of 10 years no no no Dabo Dabo doing okay like I said fired I bet you Alabama hiring it'll be higher than 24 hours alright Ocho now it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A listen I'm ready for tomorrow I'm ready for tomorrow I forgot to tell you too I forgot to tell you I know you don't like this kind of stuff like I love blues I love classical I'm an Enthusiast for all the old school arts, man, from the 50s and the 60s and the 70s.

You got to see it one time. the guy who plays Sammy David Jr. he told me to tell you hello. He told me to tell you he loves watching the show. But it was unbelievable.

Matter of fact, hold on, listen to me. Her name is Miss Trina. Miss Trina is waiting on you. I told her, I say, Miss Trina, I told him to come to Grids Cafe over and over and over.

Your team winning. because I'm going to put you out. Right. See, I don't like Super Bowl parties, for the simple fact that all the drinking and the noise and the partying, I like to actually watch the game.

52:56I like to see everything unfold. When it's nice and quiet, I like to hear the announcers. I like to see the ball. No, ain't no sound. Man, and they get mad.

53:03Shannon Sharpe:Man, turn it on. No. You can't hear at the bar. When you go to the bar, you can't hear them games. There's so much noise going on, you don't hear nothing. Now you want to come over here and pretend like, huh? You listen to the Super Bowl with no sound? God damn. Ocho, I haven't heard. The only thing I listen to with the sound, the only thing I listen to with the sound is track and field. I don't listen to basketball games. I don't listen to football games. Ocho, I find myself, man, watching TV. It's like, closed caption good for me.

53:45Shannon Sharpe:it's done happen so much Ocho I mean I wouldn't even know the only thing I listen to with the sound is track and field because I get so excited to hear them call the game to call the event Autobot and Sonja Richard Ross man Tom Hammers used to be my favorite the new guy they got now I love him too Tom Hammers was amazing but that's the only thing I don't listen to any I don't listen to any sporting event with sound.

That's all you need. and when I moved when I moved to Vegas they left everything when they say Ocho the house as is Ocho the only thing they took when they closed not the closet they left towels they left linen they left wine they left beer they left U-tips they took nothing they left cases of water when I say they didn't take anything they didn't take anything if I didn't know they might be a witness protection and they need somebody hiring for somebody because they were gone. Barnace, Uncle Ocho, what career would you rather have, winning two rings as a practice squad player or making the Hall of Fame and having no ring?

56:43Shannon Sharpe:Making the Hall of Fame. No damn practice squad. Man, come on. You got to say, okay, be a good player and win two rings or make the Hall of Fame. A practice squad, Ocho, you didn't get to play in the games. You just got that shit. Hell nah. Aaron Jones, with that Vegas reference, you're proving that the players know two up, so why is it a big deal? Tom isn't in any other private practices. You're missing the point. He's talking to coaches. You think any of the coaches that potentially might play the Raiders? We got a different opinion. It's okay, Aaron. Ephraim Rogers says, nice jacket, Ocho. Look like it's worth$5 ,900.
