In short
The episode of Nightcap Hour 2 is mostly sports talk plus reactions to recent NFL incidents. Topic 1: A Bills/NFL stadium ban. Ocho reacts to a fan who pushed/struck DeAndre Hopkins’ helmet and appeared to contact Lamar Jackson; Lamar shoved the fan back. Adam Schefter is cited saying the fan is indefinitely banned from Bills and NFL stadiums.
Key claims
the hosts say fans should never reach over rails or put hands on players; the ban is meant to set a precedent and stop copycat behavior (including object-throwing).
Notable examples
the “malice in the palace” comparison; the idea that a memo with lifetime bans for throwing objects would deter it. Topic 2: NFL commentary. Micah Parsons’ “toxic” six months after being traded a week before the season is discussed, along with his desire for Dallas to win. Topic 3: coaching/rules and team injuries. Brian Callahan’s postgame “blunder” on a catch challenge is mocked; Dolphins QB/Tua and defensive pressure are analyzed; 49ers injury news (Kittle hamstring, Purdy shoulder/toe, etc.) is covered.
Guests
No named guests appear in this transcript; it mainly features hosts Ocho and Unc, plus discussion of a future guest Andre Ward (boxer) being invited.

2:43Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, a fan who hit D-Hop and Lamar on the helmet last night has been indefinitely banned from the Bills and NFL stadiums, according to Adam Schefter. after D hop one handed touchdown grab several Raiders Ravens players were celebrating near the front row of the stands and out the back of the end zone when the fan struck D Hopkins helmet and appeared to make contact with Lamar as well Lamar then shoved him in retaliation a fan was also ejected the fan was also ejected by security personnel Lamar said I seen him slap D hop and then he slapped me and he was talking so I just forgot where I was a little bit I got I got it You know, I got to think of those situations.
3:22Shannon Sharpe:We got security out there. Let security handle it. I let my emotions get the best of me. Hopefully it won't happen again. I'll learn from that. Yeah, I mean, listen, it's unfortunate. Don't put your hands on the mat. Listen, I understand, Ocho. Look, if that's a Buffalo Bill player and they jump up in the stands and they grab you, but you can't reach over the rail and push somebody and push somebody in the head. Absolutely not. So what you – because I think sometimes people forget, Ocho. No matter who you are, no matter you play football, basketball, baseball, whatever. At the end of the day, I'm a human being.
3:58Shannon Sharpe:I'm a human being. You hit me upside my head. I mean, like you say, Lamar said it. I forgot where I was for a little bit. Especially in that environment. In a hot environment, you don't know where the fan is being intoxicated. Obviously, he's not trying to harm you, but just still, fans, You got to keep your hands to yourself. If Lamar or D-Hop was playing at home and they were coming back to the bench on their sideline and it was the fan, that touch, you understand it was – Yeah, for sure. But he had a – I think he had a Bills jersey on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was the Bills fan. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
4:37It was the shove. So, I mean, you think that's a little too excessive being banned indefinitely or is it just this season?
4:44Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they – well, I think – well, I mean, they didn't put no time frame on it. I think the thing is, Ocho, they're just trying to set a precedent. You know, in situations like this, you want it to be harsh and swift. So because you don't want this to get out of hand. Because a lot of times, you know, you catch a touchdown and you're back to the end of the stadium, and you don't want fans opposing fans, you know, touching opposing – excuse me, home fans touching opposing players. Let's get a grip on that. Now, look, I'm the first to – I understand. And I was shouting, yes, I was at the Lakers game, and I let my emotions get the best of me.
5:15Shannon Sharpe:But I didn't step on the court, and I didn't touch anybody. Was I wrong? Yes, absolutely. One thousand percent. And if the Lakers, the Jeannie Buss, Rob Palenka or whomever in charge of the Staples Center or the Crip at the time said, Mr. Sharp, you're no longer to come in my building. I'm responsible for my actions. I'm not responsible for the consequences that become from my actions. So I said, you know what? Hey, I wouldn't have took my black ass back down there because they had already told me I'm not allowed in the Crip or at the time it was still the Staples. They told me I wasn't allowed.
5:49Shannon Sharpe:That's what they, that's what, if they had told me that, if the NBA had said, Mr. Sharp, you're not allowed to come back on NBA facilities, well, hey, all-star games or whatever, I wouldn't have went. Because I was wrong. I was wrong. I didn't touch anybody. I didn't step on the court. But me being who I am, I'm supposed to lower the temperature in the room. I'm not supposed to turn the temperature up. Dylan Brooks is young enough to be my son. What the hell am I arguing with him for? He's doing his job. so I'd have been dead wrong. So before y 'all jump in the chat, I know you did wrong. I'm wrong.
6:25Shannon Sharpe:And if they had told me the NBA or the Lakers brass had told me I'm not allowed, save me a lot of damn money and save me$350 ,000 for them damn season tickets I bought. That's why you need to take me. When you go to events like that, like you need to have me. I told you I'm your enforcer. is an issue. So you didn't have to deal with Dylan Brooks. I would have dealt with him. I would have dealt with him. Nah, he's a good man. He play hard. Hey, listen, that's my homie. He's not, that's my homie. But still, sometimes you got to check him like Nike. You know, that's my dog now, but still. Nah, but yeah, and I think that's what the NFL want.
7:06Shannon Sharpe:Because, Ocho, now you're talking about machismo, machismo. You talking about the spike, the highest of testosterone. Oh, yeah. He lucky. That was a quarterback. Right. That's right. Hey, you hit T-Dog. What if you'd hit Trent Williams? Now, he back there celebrating. You hit Trent Williams upside his head. Yeah, okay. Trent Williams swung on guys in the league. So what you think he'd do to a fan? He'll pull you out the stands. Exactly. So that's where you, you know, I think that's what Roger Goodell, I think that's what the NFL brass is trying, and the Buffalo Bills are like, look, we want to try to stop this.
7:42Shannon Sharpe:We don't want to see, because we saw them throw, they done started that bull jive of throwing something on the field like they've been throwing at the WNBA games. I don't want to mention what it is. Oh, yeah, it ain't tripping. Yeah, yeah. Listen, you know what they need to do? You want that to stop? You tell people, you have a memo go out to the fans. If you see anyone throwing any objects, regardless of what it is, onto the feel of play, there's a reward, and that individual is banned for life. I bet it won't happen again. I bet you have to come down with a sledgehammer when fans start doing unruly stuff like throwing you-know-what in the middle of football games.
8:25I mean, it's pointless. What are we doing?
8:30Shannon Sharpe:Because I'm trying to think, who thought that was a good idea? Hey, I'm supposed to, I'm sitting around the house, We drank it with the boys. Hey, yeah, man, I'm going to a game. Yeah, yeah, man. We ought to do something. Man, what you want to do? We want to run on the field? Nah, nah. Everybody does that. Yeah. You want to go out there with no shirt on? Nah, man, it ain't cold enough to do that. Let's bring something that we get from a novelty store and throw it on the field. Who sits around and thinks about bull job like that? Well, they're just copying what they saw. That's why the NFL has to crack down on the fan from Buffalo so fast because it's a copycat league.
9:10If fans see one fan do it, what are they going to do next week? Another fan is going to try the same thing.
9:15Shannon Sharpe:Well, you get what you call them. You don't want a malice in the palace. You see what happened? You touch somebody, and the next thing you know, they run up and, you know, you throw stuff and you run stuff. Because I think somebody tried to throw a bottle and hit D-Hop because it looked like a bottle came flying. I get it. Come on, fans. Mm-hmm. One thing I can't say, you know, Buffalo Bill fans, they probably got the best fans in the world. They probably have the best fans in the world, especially when it comes to an opposing player and opposing team. Some of the things they do when they band together for a cause, whatever cause that that player might have, they all donate to charities all they want.
10:00Man, listen, Bill's fans is they class. They pure class. Now, this might be one incident, but this one incident isn't going to allow me to forget how much great they've done.
10:12Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. They're good. They're good. They celebrate. Hey, I don't know about that. Jumping off on burning tables and doing all that other stuff. Oh, we got to go do that. No, we ain't got to do nothing. No, we don't. You can. Go right ahead. Go right ahead. Me and you, I'm telling you, hey, jump off the Winnebago onto the table. Ocho, that's what you should do. You should hire somebody to follow you around to get that. That's what we're going to do. No, we're not going to do that. I already know. I done took all the unnecessary risk with my body. Right. Jumping off and getting run into and doing all this other stuff.
10:48Shannon Sharpe:I'm good now, Ocho. I ain't really trying to have no more surgeries. I'm really not. It's a part of the process, huh? Mm-mm. Go ahead. I thought we was the team.
11:03Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Ocho Guess who's gonna be a guest on the show on Thursday Who? Andre Ward Which Andre Ward? You talking about Andre Ward? How many Andre Wards you know? You talking about the boxer? How many Andre Wards you know? I'm saying we talking about the boxer, right? How many you know? That for Kovalev? Okay Okay. In person. I'm sure. Are you sure? Are you sure that's a good idea to have on here? That's a great idea. I can't think of a better idea. Reach out to him personally. You know we got beef, right? We're good. We're going to cook it. All right. Listen, if we're going to cook the beef, it's going to get well done.

When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance.
16:10Shannon Sharpe:Sometimes production shoots, interviews, or something I've got to travel for on a short notice, like the time when I had the last minute trip to Denver and everything came together fast. Once it was locked in, I had to be ready to go. That's where Amazon Prime can make a difference.

19:37Shannon Sharpe:Nicotine is an addictive chemical. That's what we do. Ocho, Brian Callahan made a very unfortunate blunder yesterday, both in the game and after the game. Let's take a listen to what he had to say. Is there a challenge on the Isle Matter play where they move out of bounds on the sidelines? It looked like the elbow hit inbounds first. Yeah, you got to get a foot inbounds too, which we didn't have a clean look at whether his foot was down as well. an elbow doesn't equal two feet. So his foot would have had to come down as well. We didn't have a clean look. So the call from upstairs was that it wasn't more challenging.
20:11Wait, get it to me again. So there was a catch that was clearly a catch, but the call upstairs said there was no need to challenge it?
20:19Shannon Sharpe:The guy said it looked like an elbow. An elbow or a knee equals two feet. He said you need an elbow and a foot. You don't. You don't. You get a knee down, you get an elbow down, that's two feet. Okay, okay. Yeah, you got to know the rules. You got to know the rules. You're a head coach. Yeah, you got to know the rules. Yeah. That's a little blunder, a little mistake. A little mistake. Yes. Yes. Yes. But, I mean, look, I don't know every rule, but I need to be pretty – I'm pretty sure I'm pretty up to date on the catch rule. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I'm pretty sure. I mean, we definitely have to do it because that's actually what we do, so we understand exactly what qualifies as a catch, except when Dez caught that bitch, oh, excuse me, when Dez caught it against the Packers, now that one I'm still confused about.
21:10Shannon Sharpe:Because what they ruled is that it's the old Calvin Johnson rule. They started this with Calvin Johnson. Lovie Smith challenged this when the Lions played the Bears. Yeah, it was a Bears game. He caught it, and he tried to get up. So what they said, if you catch a pass and you go down, you must complete the act of catching the football throughout the entirety of the act so in other words what dad needed to do once he went to the turf he needed to basically stand up with the ball now they changed the rule because you remember um the patriots and the eagles the little running back caught the ball out of the backfield and the exact same thing happened and they gave him a touchdown but at that point in time and they had just amended it that year earlier.
Read the full transcript
21:55Shannon Sharpe:Right. But going to the ground, if you go to the ground, if you voluntarily go to the ground, you must maintain possession of the football throughout the entirety of the act. I got it. I got it. That's a funny thing about it too, as a head coach, you understand how many things they have to worry about, especially after a game, a gain of that magnitude. They ask you, you lost the game. You got so many things running through your mind, but that's obviously a rule. You would know here, probably get to his office and be like, wait a minute I know the rule how did I miss that but that's the thing that's why you have people up there you have people up there that's telling you okay what's going on that's such and such that's article that's that section blah blah blah blah because like you said I've got to worry about the day to day I got to worry about office defense because I'm hearing everything that's going on I'm hearing the defensive call I'm hearing the offensive call I'm making sure the special team okay coach in this direction he's good from 54 from that direction he's good from 57 What are we going to do on fourth down?
22:54Shannon Sharpe:Are we running the fake here? All that. You've got all that. I mean, a head coach got a lot on his plate during the course of a ball game. Yes, sir. And the really good ones handle it, and you don't even know that's an issue. Obviously, Coach Belichick does it as good as anybody, from taking safeties to running time off the clock. I mean, look, some of these guys make it look you don't even think of. You don't think anything about it, but there's a lot going on in the course of a game. But like you said, Brian Callahan, hey, he's a young coach. Hey, just a little 40 and slip. After throwing a pair of interceptions and losing a fumble Sunday and a 33-8 loss to the Colts to a former teammate and current inning quarterback, Xavier Howard threw some shade.
23:44Shannon Sharpe:We knew the guy. He gets the ball out pretty quick, and once we take away the first read, and I feel like it's panic mode after that. It showed yesterday. We took away the first read and he was trying to get rid of the ball real quick. Coach defensive end Latou offered a similar assessment. You could just tell with those big eyes and him getting flustered.
24:07I don't like when players do that. Ain't lie. Yeah, I don't like when players do that. Obviously, you would know him better than other people being that you played there. Yeah. If there's some flaws in his game, ask him when X was there. Maybe those flaws, maybe he improved, you know, on said flaws that you might have witnessed when you played here. Obviously not. He didn't play a very good game. He didn't play well. He did not? Collectively, as a team, they didn't play well. They did not? Yeah, they did not. I think for the Dolphins, for them to win, Tua has to be the one to raise his level of play and everyone else will meet him wherever he's at.
24:55I think that's how the season's going to go, Unk. And if Tua plays bad, I think the Dolphins are going to play bad. And that's just how the season's going to go, just in general.
25:05Shannon Sharpe:Look, Ojo, we watch tape. And when defensive guys watch tape, they know, here's a guy that wants to get the ball like quick. He don't want to take a lot of XX hits. So even if we don't hit him, even if we don't sack him, let's hit him. Let's get around his feet. He got happy feet. Let's try to crowd his face as much as we possibly can. Just like receivers. He's not the most physical receiver. He doesn't like contact. Let's get a little handsy with the guy. Let's put hands on him. That's what you try to do. I mean, that's what the tape tells us. That's why we watch all that film. We know who's going to bite the double move.
25:41Shannon Sharpe:we know who's slow to get in and out of breaks we know who's trying to guess who's trying to play five to seven yards off and clue everything and we got to double move them and we're going to run the goal ball first of all we're going to run the goal ball from the jump because if you don't they're going to squat on everything they're going to make it damn near impossible to throw anything short you got to give them something to think about so hey Un you can see my camera You can see, does my, it look yellow, don't it? It does. Where Jordan at? And Jordan, what I do to get my camera back? You probably need to buy a new house.
26:23Who, me? I just, I've only been here a few months.
26:25Shannon Sharpe:No, I don't. I don't know what you did. What'd you touch? I don't know what I touched. I'm sitting here touching everything over here. I don't know how to work these cameras, man. Is your overhead light on? Overhead. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know what you did. I mean, you started tinkering with something and it turned yellow. I know. My bad, man. My bad. Damn. What do you think? All right. Don't worry about it. I'm going to be yellow for the day. Yeah. Can you stop tinkering with stuff?
27:06Shannon Sharpe:Dolphin fans are ready for a change on the center after a dreadful start. They want Shadour Sanders traded to the Dolphins. Should Miami make a new move, Ocho? It's only week one, huh? It's no time to hit the pentagon. Man, the fans don't care nothing about the week one, week two, week 10. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. I'm part of the fans. I'm a true Dolphin fan. I don't think people understand. Those of you in the chat, when I say we, I'm from Miami, born and raised, Jackson Memorial Hospital, 1968. I was born at 3.08 a.m. My mama name is Paula Hurricane Johnson. Okay. I went to the Dolphins game at the Orange Bowl.
27:49There was no Joe Robbie. There was no Hard Rock Stadium. I was at the Orange Bowl in Overtown. Damn near right in Overtown. watching him play. So I've been a fan for a long time, and it hurts me that I've never been able to see us have a successful, successful season, have a great quarterback outside of Dan Marino. We've been looking for that position for a very long time. I thought Tua was the answer. I still think Tua was the answer. It's too soon to hit the panic button. Everybody can't be this superstar tier one quarterback like Mahomes and Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. Everybody can't get that.
28:29But what we can have, we can have an adequate quarterback that can facilitate the ball, do us ass of him offensively, not turn it over, and we can win games. And we've shown we can do that. That's it.
28:43Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all going to have to improve in a lot of areas because y 'all gave up 33. Y 'all, you do realize that nobody had scored on seven straight possessions since 1978? Yeah, that's bad. Daniel Jones did that. Can I say something real quick? Yeah, sure. You know the Dolphins are rebuilding. You notice they tear in the roster apart, getting most of the older players out. You don't notice how they're wiggling everybody out. Two is not old. Tyreek is only 30. Jalen Waddell. No, I'm saying you got to see it. They're rebuilding because they spent all this money to try to go after this. That's why they went and got Jalen Ramsey.
29:24Shannon Sharpe:That's why they went and got Tyreek. That's why they paid Waddle. That's why they paid Tyreek. That's why they, you know, yes, absolutely. They go get a Bradley Chubb and they go, yes, they gone for it. And now there's like, hold on. We throwing money off the Titanic. We ain't going to ever see this. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what they're doing. That's what they're doing. They're scrabbing it. I was one of the few. I saw the Dolphins 1972 perfect season. I was there. I was in the stands at the Orange Bowl. Well, considering you wasn't born yet, I don't know how that happened, but okay. I was born in 68.
30:03I was there. I was four years old. Might have been five.
30:09Shannon Sharpe:Your birth certificate can say 77, but we'll go along with that. We'll go along with that. I'm hurt, though, as a Dolphin fan. It's been a long time, man. It's been a long time. Very long time. But, hey, you remember when Tyreek said that that tour is just as good as Mahomes? Yeah. Oh, here you go. Why are you bringing up? He said it. Why are you bringing up old stuff? Listen, sometimes, right? Sometimes, just a small example. Tour is good, but sometimes you have to give your quarterback positive reinforcement. You're going to say something, but you would literally say, you would literally, after the guy that's done one, two, that's done one, two MVPs.
30:57Shannon Sharpe:Right. And you would literally say, Tua is better than Mahomes. You would literally, the guys had a 5 ,000-yard season, a 50-touchdown season. He didn't really say better. He didn't really mean it. He didn't mean it that way. I don't know what he said. I don't know what he meant. I know what he said. You got to understand, sometimes as black folk, we exaggerate what we mean to make the person we're talking about feel a little better. He didn't mean it literally. You do realize how that makes him look. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I understand. I understand. Okay. I understand. Got it. Go ahead. What do you want to say?
31:40I'm going to say it's one o 'clock already. My flight is six o 'clock. I'm flying to Vegas. And I just landed this morning from Chicago.
31:50Shannon Sharpe:Matt LaFleur called out the fans. What are you going to say? He just landed this morning. Yeah, I left Chicago at 5 o 'clock. Okay. I'm excited. You don't have to be here until Wednesday. You the one that chose to come out early. Oh, I'm flying out early because I'm trying to get to Grist Cafe. I'm trying to get to Soul Food Cafe. I'm trying to go to the casino and play blackjack. You know, they give me a money line at the casino. You mean a credit line? Credit line. My bad. I'm talking about money line. I'm thinking about me gambling yesterday at the sports book. Okay. Okay. They give me a credit line of a million.
32:35So this time I'm going to pay your money. I guarantee you when we do the next show, I guarantee you how your money, because tomorrow when I hit that casino in Vegas, they ain't going to owe me nothing, boy.

32:52Shannon Sharpe:No, you're not going to double what you owe me. Because you're going to pay me before you get any more. You mean to pay me, you're going to pay me double what you owe me. But you're not going to double what. That's what I meant. I said I'm going to double it. I'm going to double what I owe you. So I'm going to give you$12 ,000 instead of$5 ,900. Okay. That's love. You know what, right now, Ochoa, I just settled for the$5 ,900. I don't want to stress you out too much. I just, yeah, let's just.

37:32Shannon Sharpe:Matt LaFleur called out the fans after a big win in season opener. Ocho, take a listen to what Matt LaFleur had to say about Packer fans. Uh-oh. The fans that showed up brought great energy, and the fans that sold their tickets to all those Lions fans got to be better. Oh, okay, okay, okay. And he knows that. You know how he knows that? Because the stadium sold out. Not only the stadium sold out, based on where the Lions fans are sitting, he knows it was Packer fans that sold them those tickets. Yes. You know them. You know how I know? Because I did that one year. I did that one year. I bought tickets from Packers fans to put Bengals fans in the seat so I could Lambo leap to them.
38:15Bro, you ain't have but three. I know. But it was expensive. What? I know. But y 'all only had three fans, though. But listen, don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. And you know what's so funny? It's that game. I pulled it off. I pulled it off. I came up with this whole miraculous plan to find a way to get Packers fans that sat in there. Let me guess, you didn't score. I scored that game. So everything worked out perfectly. And I jumped to the Bengals fans. It was dope. It was a great, great, great moment. Great morning. When did y 'all play the Packers? One of my better celebrations, huh?
38:50Shannon Sharpe:When did y 'all play the Packers? I don't remember what year that was. The chat would know better than me. The chat is really good. Hey, chat, the celebration where when I played at Lambeau and I jumped to the Bengals fans on purpose, What year was that? And I think C. Wood was there, too. I think C. Wood was there. Ooh, ooh, 4 o 'clock on Sunday. What happened? What happened? No, that's week four. Oh, you're talking about Dallas Packers. Yeah, that's week four. Micah Parsons had some fighting words for the Cowboys. Let's take a listen to what Micah had to say. This last six months was super draining, super toxic for everyone.
39:33It's something that I don't think no players should have to go through. I think players' fate should be decided earlier. I think the fact that I was traded a week before the season, it was really outrageous and rough. It's something where I could have been with these guys getting better and better, and we could have had probably even more dominant starting, you know, if that was the decision we were going to make. So I'm just happy that's behind. These guys embrace me. They believe in my talents. They believe in me. And I'm just going to give these guys everything I have because I know it's at stake.
40:03I know what they gave up for me to be here. And I'm going to do what it takes for us to win. I like it. Take them shots, boy. Because they took shots at you. Take them shots. And give them what they're looking for. You know? As much as I love Michael Parsons, as much as I love Dak, And I want the Cowboys to lose that game week four simply for the decision-making of Jerry Jones. That's it. That's it. That's it. It's gotten to that point. That's why I want to see them lose, because of their egotistical owner. Yeah.
40:47Shannon Sharpe:And we're going to bring it to you. We're going to make sure. he'll be pumped up hopefully he don't hyperventilate because he's going to want to get a sack so bad he's going to be wanting to get that ball out hit Dak in his back strip sack he wants to make impact plays especially that game Mocho especially that game so you're probably going to want to
41:20Shannon Sharpe:probably throw a couple screens his way, you know, run a jet sweep his way, run a reverse his way, catch him out of position. But it's going to be a very, very, very, very good game. George Kittle is reportedly expected to be sidelined multiple weeks after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday's win over the Seahawks. Hamstring issues could cost him two games last season. In Rappaport, Kittle will likely be sidelined between three and five weeks. Brandon Ayuk remains out as well, still recovering from last season's ACL surgery. Juwan Jennings left Sunday's game dealing with a shoulder injury.
42:00Shannon Sharpe:More importantly, Brock Purdy's status for week two is up in the air after he suffered left shoulder and toe injuries. Well, they the walking wounded. More than that. The season just started. We in week one. We're in week one. Your quarterback hurt. My boy Juwan Jennings hurt. I you ain't been back yet. George Kittle hamstring injury again. It all comes down to what do they say? Nutrition. Now, some injuries are not or some injuries are going to happen. You know, you're going to get hurt. But again, some of the soft tissue stuff. Brock Purdy, I think he has a toe. He has a toe and a shoulder. Yep.
42:45I'm like, these are all areas where I can help. But again, no, don't listen to me. Everybody knows best. Let's bring in these nutritionists that charge you$300 ,000,$400 ,000,$500 ,000 a year, you know, to give you these. Man, don't get me started, but it is what it is. Hey, I'm wishing everyone a speedy recovery because if they don't play, if Brock Purdy is not able to play, man, who the hell is the backup? They signed. Who did they? Oh, Mac Jones. That's right. Mac Jones is a backup. Okay, Mac Jones is cool. Mac Jones is cool. Who's going to throw the ball to? Yeah, Ricky Purcell. Hey, boy, he's emerged and shown that he can be number one.
43:32Not just wear the number. He's shown that he can be the number one. So I'm kind of okay with that situation. Christian McCaffrey is healthy. He's playing. Let's hope he can stay healthy. Yeah, he can stay healthy and they'll be all right.
43:48Shannon Sharpe:well it's gonna they don't really have a choice um you know i look obviously you'd like to have your starting quarterback but mac jones does have some confidence he's been a starter in this league he's gone to a pro bowl uh they i think they signed uh kendrick born yes today today yeah yeah he signed him today so they're um it seems like they're proceeding as if they're not going to have a couple of these guys, Ocho. That's what it looks like to me. I don't know if they got anybody on the practice squad receivers that they like and probably could call up. Obviously there's not a, you know, it just so happens I think Kendrick Bourne.
44:28Shannon Sharpe:Oh, he was the last cut at the Patriots.
44:35Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm thinking Kendrick Bourne. I'm thinking of KJ. My bad.
44:41Shannon Sharpe:You thinking about KJ Arsborne? Yeah, yeah, I'm tripping. Wasn't he in Washington? Yeah, Commanders, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, look, it's very unfortunate to get ravaged by injuries after the first game. This is the game that we played and they currently play in the NFL. It's a very brutal game. There are no winners. There are only survivors. And you just try to survive and come out there, you're going to be beat up. If you play, you're going to be beat up. but I don't care if you just play special teams, you're going to be having a lot of collisions. Yes. And so just imagine if you play offense or you play defense, you can just imagine.
45:20Shannon Sharpe:So with that being said, you just hope the 49ers are able to weather this injury storm that they seem to be going through currently. And it's going to – it'll be – man. Kittle was Kittle was like he was about to go off too and hamstring just
45:47Shannon Sharpe:but he's he's had he's had to deal he's had to deal with some some injuries injuries before yeah yeah yeah I mean he's had hamstring he's had a guy 49ers you need to reach out to Omari Cooper hell if his if his heart wasn't in it in Vegas what makes you think it's going to be in it in San Francisco And you know, Ocho, you know, once you start retiring, you already done told yourself, you might, would you go ahead and quit? And you only retired because the situation they put you in, you coming in thinking you finna be that guy despite age, understanding. But knowing that, oh, you think I'm going to come in and we doing cardio?
46:24Oh, absolutely not. I'm cool. I hang it up.
46:29Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, what guy you know that's coming off the street going to be the number one? I mean, you know what I mean, huh? But I'm just saying. But we talk about Amari Cooper. We talk about one of the better players to ever play. And he didn't get signed until three days before the season. So what happened to a free agency? The guy we talking about, Amari Cooper. Now you understand why he retired. That's what I'm saying. I'm not wasting my time. You're bringing me in here. I'm thinking I'm coming in for one thing, and then once I get there, it ain't what it is. You know what? I'm going to give you two fingers and spread them.
47:02I'm going to give you two fingers and spread them. I'm out.
47:04Shannon Sharpe:Okay, but let me ask you this. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Why didn't somebody sign him during free agency? Why didn't someone sign him during OTA? Age, age. How old is Amari Cooper? Is he 30? Yes, huh? What you mean? He might be 31, tops. He's 31. Yeah, what do they do to us? What do they do to us once we hit our 30s? What do they do to us? Ocho. They work you out. I mean, D-Hop didn't have – D-Howl is D-Hop.
47:52Shannon Sharpe:He got a job as soon as the season – as soon as free agency started. He got a job at 33. We all aren't created equal. No. No. So I don't know what Mark Cuban thought. I mean, there's a reason why nobody signed him, Mocho. You do realize that, right? Right? Even if he's playing on a – he looked like he was going to be playing on the league minimum with an opportunity to earn incentives. So that was kind of going to be the contract that he was going to get regardless. Right. And there were no takers doing the free agency period. There was no takers doing OTAs. There was no takers doing training camp.
48:27Shannon Sharpe:Only before, right before the season, did you find a taker. That doesn't tell you anything? A little bit. A little bit. A little bit. I'm mad at my camera yellow, man.
48:46Yeah.
48:49Shannon Sharpe:Look, I just think the thing is, like, look, I mean, the knock is off. What'd you do? No, go back and turn them lights off. It's good now. It is? Yeah. Hey. You turn the lights on. You turn some yellow lights on. They're not. We're making this flip back. Why is it doing that?
49:18Oh. You know what it is? Jordan, know what it is? Oh. Why would it turn yellow when I sit down?
49:29Shannon Sharpe:He said, I think it's the shirt that you put on. For real? yeah
49:40Shannon Sharpe:walk away and come see you see Ocho you good you see it oh okay okay what okay why does it do that cause you have those kind of bull job lights in your house Okay We good We good We good We good
50:11Shannon Sharpe:Ocho The billion dollar Powerball dream Our billion dollar Powerball dream Is over The winning tickets For 1.8 billion dollar Jackpot Was sold in Missouri And Texas Damn You know what Uncle It wasn't in God's plans No That's not That's not what he wanted for us No He didn't want that for us This time You know, I'm not sad. You know why I'm not sad? Because I'm thankful for what he does. Bless me. Oh, yeah. He woke me up this morning, so that's better than a billion dollars to me. He did. He did. He did. And my cup runneth over. Oh, absolutely. He continues to bless me in ways unimaginable that I never would have thought of.
50:57And he continues to do so. But for that, I'm grateful. If he wanted me to have a billion dollars, he'll make a way.
51:09Shannon Sharpe:All right, guys, we're going to get you out of this. It's our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q &A.
51:24Hello.
51:26Shannon Sharpe:Kevin Norwood Jr. said, oh, I think the Vikings will be just fine with J.J. McCarthy, but they should have never let Cousins go to Atlanta when he wanted to stay in Minnesota. No, they just realized they were only going to go so far with Cousins. Yeah, and you have plenty of time to prove it. Yes. Time to prove it. Yes. And they weren't willing to pay what Atlanta paid. Think about it. Atlanta paid the man $150 million and gave him$100 million guaranteed. Hurt by that money too now. Oh, Kirk done made the boatload of money now. He bought that money. You think about his last six years, he's had fully guaranteed contracts.
52:05Shannon Sharpe:He played two years on the franchise tag. So, the last six or seven years, he's only had guaranteed money. Yeah. So, first cousin's good. He good. Lanny Ray said, I predicted the Vikings first touchdown would be JJ to JJ. Skol. Lanny, congratulations. We know how you bleed purple and gold. You guys one that it didn't look promising for three quarters. But it's not how you start. It's how you finish. And you guys finish strong. Where you been, Laney Ray? As a matter of fact, where have you been?
52:41Shannon Sharpe:Sub-05X, stop hating on Caleb. Ben Johnson got outcoached by Flores. Flores adapted to Ben, didn't. Flores has gotten more guys experience in the system than Ben. tell me how many quarterbacks do well against Flores constant third and longs. Again, this loss is on Ben. Creativity in the run game, Flores was able to eat.
53:09Shannon Sharpe:Well, it doesn't look like they were doing anything on first and second down either because when Caleb tried to drop back the pass, they unleashed the hounds on him. At some point in time, the quarterback is going to have to let his back foot hit and he can be able to throw the ball. He can't always have it to throw on the move.
53:30Shannon Sharpe:And I wasn't, nobody was hating on Caleb. We just said, hey, he needs time to throw the football. And we thought spending $94 million with 55 million going this year on three offensive linemen that they upgraded the position that there was most ineffective last year. So I really want to see what my quarterback can do when he doesn't have to run for his life every time he catches the ball and just take off running. And tonight was basically a microcosm of what it was last year. The offense didn't look at it. Look, yeah, he made some good throws, but him running for his life was a lot like what happened last year.
54:03Shannon Sharpe:He was sacked the third most time since the Super Bowl era. He got sacked 68 times, Ocho. Yeah, 62, 62. Was it 62? Or was it 68? I don't know, but he got sacked the third most time in NFL history since the merger. Anything over 50 is a lot. Let's just put it like that. Hell, yeah. Hell, anything over 40 is a lot. He got sacked 68 times because the record, I think, is David Carr is 76, right? He was in Houston. Yeah, his rookie year. I remember that. I remember that. And then I think Randall was next. But a lot of times, mobile quarterbacks will have a high sack rate because they run themselves into a lot of sacks.
54:50Shannon Sharpe:They run out of things on the front side only to run into the arms of somebody on the backside. So you look at a lot of the mobile quarterback. Go back and study. Look at a lot of the mobile quarterbacks and see what the sack totals. Look at Mike Vick. Got sacked a lot. Justin Fields. Sacked a lot. Caleb Williams. Sacked a lot. Steve Young. Got sacked a lot until he learned how to be a pocket passer. Randall Cunningham. Look at the guys that are mobile quarterbacks. You think, well, damn, how are you getting sacked so much? And then go look at a guy like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Yeah. Frank Sinatra, refs took the game with those phantom pass interference calls.
55:30Shannon Sharpe:No. I don't know about phantom. It's hard to be a DB. It's hard to be a DB. Very. Go ahead, Ocho. I was going to say, some of them, some of those situations, like with Aaron Jones, you can help yourself by looking back for the ball. Well, first of all, I'm not thinking for running back He's going to run an out route Or he's going to run an out route He's going to try to cross my face Nah he keep it up the scene Because I'm playing flat foot I'm going to break on the out I'm not going to let him cross my face Because if he tried to cross my face I'm going to collision him I'm flat footed He keep going I'm dead On that pass interference That put the Vikings all the way down by the goal line If he looks back for that ball it's going the other way.
56:18Interception.
56:19Shannon Sharpe:A lot of times they panic. Yeah, absolutely. Oh, yeah. Well, the thing is, I mean, I think Dan Marino would go a whole season and get sacked nine times. I mean, you couldn't sack Danny. If you could sack Danny, you're like, well, I got one. I mean, yeah, he would go season with single-digit sacks. Yeah. But big Richmond Webb on that blind side Yeah, we came out together. Webby came out from Texas A &M. Huh? He came out 90. Yeah, he's in my draft. Kenneth Darnell, as a Packers fan, I love tonight's game. Bears lose the home opener while celebrating 85 champs. I hope the Bears fans get home safe.
57:06Shannon Sharpe:Hashtag Bear down. Yeah, you can't lose that game. I mean, I hate it. Like, when we have the alumni come back, you can't lose that. No, absolutely not.
57:22Shannon Sharpe:A whiskey looks like sightseeing tour to me. Zero wins, but they have multiple trips to the local museum. No chance.
57:33Shannon Sharpe:Ray Holman, was there a Mason Graham or an Abdul Carter sighting all this weekend? One week. Give them some time. Hey, they got all, you know, hey. Week one, Jesus Christ. Bag on head, I'm a long-time Dolphins fan living in Miami. How do you think that feels? Y 'all should be sending me super chats to pay my psychiatry bill. Jamie J. Breezy Williams, hey, guys. Excuse me. So many injuries week one. Now that week one is over, which injury do you guys think was the biggest loss to a team this week? with whoever lost their quarterback. Yeah. He's the most important guy. So if Pertany don't play, that'll be the biggest loss.
58:23Shannon Sharpe:Galeidoscope 1 says, where Ocho get those chains from and the general public afford... Can the general public afford them? Yep. But these? Yep. Oh, nah, but these come from Elianne. Deontay. No, them come from the mall. Shit, shit, I wish they did. Gary H. says, after Burrow, the number one overall QBs have been trash. So who's been number one? Caleb Williams, Bryce Young, Cam Ward. Who else was number one after those guys, Ocho?
59:07Shannon Sharpe:CJ was number two with Bryce Young. Bryce Young was one. Oh, that's right. Yeah, he was. Trevor Lawrence. Oh, yeah. T-Lawrence, T-Lawrence. So that's it. Because Trevor Lawrence was after Joe Burrow, right? Yeah. Trevor Lawrence, he was the Walker guy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy from Jacksonville. Trayvon Walker. Yeah. D-N. Yep. Brandon Homer, Uncle Ocho. I just want to say that after we won the NFL. The highest-paid quarterback, Dak Prescott, has more tackles than TDs. Boy, y 'all be killing that. Y 'all stay on that. Cortez Scott said, Ocho, production and skill set only. Which current Hall of Famer is your career comparable to?
59:51My who? Production and skill set?
59:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, it said production and skill set only. Which current Hall of Famer is your production comparable to? Is your career comparable to? Yeah, that's a great question. I'm not sure because I haven't really dug into the numbers and stuff like that. So it's hard for me to really answer that question being that I haven't done my homework in that area. I'm sorry. I haven't. Dr. Frankie L. Bellarmine said, just checking in on you guys. How y 'all doing? Love y 'all. Doc, we doing good. Life is good. Life is good.
