Nightcap Hour 2: Unc, Ocho, & Iso Joe react to Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin Bromance

24:49Shannon Sharpe:And you're going to have to be on your best behavior to beat those two teams. And they just happen to be in your division. Now, you got some other tough games on the schedule also, but like you said, Ocho,

25:04Shannon Sharpe:we're about to find out can he summons up the old Aaron Rodgers or he just old Aaron Rodgers? Yeah, just a little bit. Just a little bit. Give me flashes. Give me three flashes a quarter. Two flashes a quarter. Hey, Ocho, y 'all allowed me the right to be wrong on this, but I think for the Jets, he had to be pretty spectacular for them to win, right? I think with the Steelers, because their defense is pretty good, that I don't think it would be a whole lot of pressure on him. Plus, he got some help offensively to where he'll be a lot better, I think, for the Steelers than he was for the Jets. I think the offensive line is better, but the problem that he ran in, and this is what I said, and I remember having this conversation.

25:52Shannon Sharpe:I said, Ocho, you're saying he just needs to be Aaron Rodgers. I said, now what happens if that defense isn't what it was for those other quarterbacks? Right. Zach Wilson. So let's just say for the sake of argument, that defense slips a little bit. Yeah. And you see, as guys start to get older, Joe, and I don't know how it is in basketball, you can speak to this, but as guys get older at the quarterback position, they need more help. Whereas guys, Aaron Rodgers five years ago, six years ago, no problem. You could have put his sister to the north out there with him. He would have succeeded. He could do it.

26:33Shannon Sharpe:I've seen it. But as you get older, you need more help. a la tom goes to tampa a la payton goes to denver look at the receiving help that he had look at the running backs look at the offensive line all those things go into play i do believe he has a better offensive line than what he has okay he got dk they lost pickens uh they got uh calvin austin the third so they got some players so we'll see we'll see uh uh warren the running back. We'll see how that turns out. But I don't think he needs to be 40 touchdown, Aaron. I don't. I don't think they have a 40 touchdown offense. You could be right.

27:18You could be right.

27:20Shannon Sharpe:You could be right. I say that respectfully. The Bengals have a 40 touchdown offense. For sure. Absolutely. Yes. Yes. Yes. You know why? Because their defense aren't very good. They're going to be in some shootouts. It's just real talk They gonna be in a shootout They don't talk Come on That's the second time You take a shot Of a team now But they gonna be Ocho Y 'all defense They're not very good You see y 'all lost games 41-38 Y 'all lost 38-35 Y 'all lost 34-31 You're right You're right Y 'all gonna be in games Like that Listen This is a new year though This is It's a new year We don't know What's gonna happen Matter of fact We got football tomorrow too I forgot about that.

28:05Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Oh, this is the last weekend you won't have football until the middle of February. So, moving forward, you got preseason, and then, you know, you got college, and then you got NFL, college NFL, college NFL, and then when the college go, and then you have bowl season, you have playoffs. So, yeah. Hey, it's here now. It's here now. Devontae Adams clears the air with Jimmy G during dark time as Raiders teammates. It's amazing. I love Jimmy, he said. It was never a personal thing. I was hoping we didn't have to have these conversations, but I'm surprised this is the first time it's been brought up, but it's been amazing.

28:45Shannon Sharpe:We got to catch up on it and get on the right page. Obviously, that was just a dark moment in all of our lives. I think all of us were pretty miserable over there. We kind of caught up and laughed about it, and we've been making plays since we got out here. So, it's been fun. Has either one of you guys ever had an awkward fallout with a former teammate and had to squash the beef once you guys became teammates again. Nah. Nah, I ain't never had no beef with none of my teammates or none of that. Nah. You hear that, Ocho? I heard it either. Nah, I was a fun guy, Joe. I mean, the same way I am on the show.

29:24I was in the locker room. Same way I was on the field. I was just fun, man. I was a fun dude, Joe. I ain't had no problem with nobody. I think I got in one scuffle one time with my safety at training camp, Madhu Williams. Yeah. And that was it. That one time. I didn't either.

29:50Shannon Sharpe:I mean, I left Denver, went to Baltimore, left Baltimore, went back to Denver. No. I've never had an awkward fallout. We had to squash B. I mean. Well, Joe, I had that one fight, Joe. Like, when we played the Ravens, I think I told you. Joe, I don't think I told you that story. We played the Ravens. We was at B &T. What's the name of the stadium? M &T. Yeah, I was at M &T. You know, towards the end of the game, you know, Joe, I went to catch a slant. Carson threw me a slant, right? You know? It was a little high, and I jumped for it anyway, right, Joe? Stay with me now. and so I seen Ray at the corner of my eye in my peripheral vision I was like I don't even care I'm going to try to go get it anyway and I was like oh the ball's whacked I started to come down and Ray hit me on the side of my ear hole and I'm like well wait a minute that was Ray that just hit me we just prayed before the game so I know the Lord ain't tell you to hit me like that so Joe I jumped up right and I went after him I don't want to put his hands on you, right?

31:01But then, boom, I think Ed Reed grabbed me. So when Ed grabbed me, I was like, nah, you're going to have to answer for that. That's what I said in my mind. So after the game, right, Joe? Boom, I went to the Ravens locker room. I went looking for Ray. So I walked in the locker room and secured it like, hey.

31:16Shannon Sharpe:He didn't know where he was. Yeah, you can't be here. So I waited in the parking lot. but then the team bus hit the horn for me to go and that kind of like saved me from you just wanted to get something straight you wasn't really going to put no pause on yeah yeah because like Joe before every game I swear for God for a decade straight Joe for a decade straight we didn't miss one game me and Ray he gave me a scripture we sat on the phone we read the scripture before we went to play the game whether we were playing each other or not consistently for a decade straight how the hell we just prayed before the game and you hit me like that yeah he prayed he's gonna knock your ass out man joe hey boy joe listen it boy it would have took all 12 disciples to get me off of ray boy if i would have caught him after that game

32:10you should have caught him right there on the field no because i i would have got fined so i i would listen you you know you know how it go when you're angry, you don't think logically. So if Air Reed hadn't held me, I would have turned that 52 upside down. That bitch with a red 25.

32:27Shannon Sharpe:You did it right, Faye. Grab your helmet because he knocked your helmet smooth off. You thought your head was in it. Hey, you went and picked your helmet up like that. It's all good. It's all good. Boy, he's something there. Hey, he a Florida boy too, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, boy. Right from Lakeland, right up the street, man. Right up the street. Yeah. Y 'all, no, but you know better. He caught me the same way. He caught me under my chin on the deep end. Yeah. He got you too? Got me too. Hey, hey, hey. I caught it. I was trying to bring it in. Hit me right up under my chin. I say, boop. Take it.

33:14Shannon Sharpe:Ain't Ray touching anything. Come past him. He wasn't playing. Oh, for sure. Yeah. Hey, that boy wasn't that nice right there, boy. Ojo, look at this. Ojo, look what I got. That's Pickens? That's Lil' Pickens, yeah. Lil' Pick, man. I knew it was Pick. Soon as I saw that damn face mask, I said, they got to be Pick helmet. Carl was nice, boy. Hey, man. Hey, Pick like, hey, nobody want no bingo's helmet back in the day, Ojo. Man, that pick just said, hey, man, take this. I don't want to take it back home. I thought the Bengals used to have some decent helmets, huh? Man, the Bengals were terrible.

33:56Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Now, him and Jeff Blake, ain't nobody throwing deep balls like Jeff Blake. Hey, he had a pretty ball, boy. Jeff had a pretty ball. Man, that thing take a, hey, just like Aaron Rodgers throw the helmet, that's how Jeff would throw the deep ball. That man just like, it just come down and pick just run right up under. Him and Darnay, boy, they used to Yeah. They were nice, boy. Yeah, Ocho, I got me on me. Do y 'all still got any helpers like this, Ocho? They still like this, right? It's still the same. It's still the same. You know we got the white ones now. You know they got the white ones.

34:29Oh, yeah, yeah,

34:30Shannon Sharpe:yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's y 'all color rush though, right? Yeah, that's the color rush. Okay. Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones spoke about how they handle their top players contract we don't drag deals out we do deals when there's an opportunity to do a deal certainly no one knows what's going on internally with a particular negotiation sometimes players and agents aren't ready to pull the trigger until they see other cards played what are we going to do go out there and do something that's not responsible in terms of just name getting done uh one month earlier do it pay another guy five million of your own cap space especially when you're dealing in our particular case internally with guys who are homegrown here we feel like they want to be here i felt like dak wanted to be here i always felt like cd wanted to be here what you think is joe but here's the thing you wait until the very last year you could have got a michael deal done after year three you could have got daguer deal done you could have got cd but when you wait when you wait until the very last minute yes yes they're gonna they're gonna put a tax on you it's just that simple because you put them in a situation they had to avoid injury for two extra years so now i gotta make you pay i gotta make you pay ocho gotta pay you gotta pay extra you gotta pay the toll yeah you know you what was that uh the troll Ohio is under the bridge, and you want to come across, you want to cross the bridge, you got to pay the toll.

36:04Shannon Sharpe:You got to pay the toll. Hey, look. You got to pay the toll to the troll. Jerry knows that. Jerry knows. That's why I say they're going to pay Michael, but they're going to pay him. It's going to be right for the season. Y 'all know how this is going to be. They're going to pay him more than what they had. Because, first of all, you let T.J. Watt, you let the other guys reset the market. Yeah. He was at 34. Just last year, the highest paid defensive player made$34 million. The highest paid defensive player now makes$41 million. That's$7 million. Now, plus, he got 108 guaranteed? What you call him?

36:46Shannon Sharpe:Got like 123 guaranteed. So what's Michael looking at? Michael looking to go 42 with somewhere between 120 and 130. 135 guaranteed he gonna reset it yes it's the same thing he did with Dak think about it it's twice he did this with Dak because you didn't do Dak and you let Carson Wentz and Jerry Goff and then you think he's gonna give you the same type of deal no but they signed him two years early they signed him two years early with two franchise tags Dak said nah I'm good you gotta break me off all the way off faulting. And wasn't playing no game. You waited again, and guess what he said, Ocho?

37:29Shannon Sharpe:Now I need 60. All of it. I need 60. Yeah, I need 60. But yeah, we're going to get Michael paid, man. We got some special things we're doing this year in Dallas, baby. Don't y 'all worry about it. You ain't got no choice. You're right. You're right. And you do realize, your left guard, Tyler Smith, is going to want to get paid, too. Mm-hmm. Trey Smith just got 24, 25 million. Tyler Smith said, yeah, I'm going to need that. I done been to the Pro Bowl twice. I need that. If I go to the third time, I'm going to need that, coach. Get at me. Get at me. I'll let your boy. Oh, I forgot. What y 'all going to do with George Pickens?

38:09Oh, no. I don't want one. This pick resume year, it don't got to be there. It don't got to be there.

38:16Shannon Sharpe:That's my point. It has to be there. So, I mean, you probably You gave him draft capital to get him You probably want to keep him But, hey, he's going to be looking He's going to be looking, you know You say he 1B 1B money somewhere, you know 30, 33, 34 So you're going to have You're going to have a$60 million quarterback Two$34 million receivers If they win And a$42 million You got one the Bengals found a way to do it. They're going to have to do it too. But here's the thing. I don't think George Pickett's agent is going to go for what T. Higgins agent is going to let them go. That ain't happening, no joke.

39:02Shannon Sharpe:That ain't happening.

39:09Shannon Sharpe:And I know Micah ain't doing no deal like that.

39:17Shannon Sharpe:because they know Jay got it. When you're moving like I do, trips don't always come together weeks in advance.

On the new podcast, Solita, We share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I chose option B. I'm Julie Pinheiro and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smiled at us.

42:02Not a lot of people smile around here. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Don't you call me because I ain't answering. Right. Right. Because I ain't answering. I ain't answering. Right. Bears rookie Luther Burton III was kicked off the field and chewed out by Ben Johnson after issued at the line of scrimmage during team drills. burdened missed several weeks of practice with a hamstring injury and Johnson said it has hindered his progress learning the system it shows up already I mean we were in walkthrough yesterday afternoon then misalignment we have to re-huddle we have to start it all over again he's a little bit behind right now Burton III responded very well to the accountability that Johnson gave him early in your career did you ever have to accept accountability coming up short in practice or in the game.

46:27Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Absolutely. Hell yeah. Man, I forget. Ocho, I ain't no... Man, you don't move me. I'm a wide receiver, Ocho. They'll move me to tight end. They tell me to play, Ocho. Yeah. I go in motion. I stop. Man, what's the play again? What I got?

46:45Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, y 'all laughing. I'm damn serious. Ask him. I say, hey, I go in motion, go to the tackle, turn around and come back. Man, what I got? I forgot. What I got? man dad read me god dang it Shannon I don't know what you want me to tell you dad I forgot to play I remember them days man they sent me in the game I forgot to play coming into the game like every play we'd bring somebody to the game and they had to play give me the play I go in there how many games John look at me T look at me like T, what's the play? I forgot.

47:31Shannon Sharpe:Hey, it'll happen quick, too. It'll happen quick. Hey, I'm booking it. Joe, I'm booking it in the game, too. I'm like, man, I'm in the game. T, T, what's the play? Oh, I forgot. Hey, hey, hold on. In basketball, Ocho, doing like a timeout, coach might draw up three plays. Okay, we're going to run this play, then come back down next trip. We're going to run this play, then next trip down court. So he's got three plays in and drawn up. Now, you may go out there on defense, and you mess around and get a couple trips where y 'all may got steals or things of that sort. Man, you forget everything that man drew up over there.

48:16Shannon Sharpe:That's how it go. You be so locked in. What was the second play? Yeah. You go to ask your teammates. They don't even know. See, that's how we do no huddle, Ocho. We call two plays in the huddle. First one on one, second one on set hut. Hey, everything right formation. Cool, cool.

48:39Shannon Sharpe:What we got?

48:45Shannon Sharpe:Hell no. Man, I'll never forget that, man. I was so embarrassed. Man, hey, I didn't even look at the sideline. Because I know, man, Coach Reed, Coach Reed used to get so bad. Coach would turn red, and he had this big old, big old vein. I mean, it'd be bulging out of his neck. Because back then, coaches wore suits on the sideline, don't you? Coach Reed wore a suit. Yeah. You know, Coach, you go back and look at Coach Dick, and he had on sweater vest and things like that. So Coach Reed was dressed to the nine. Man, Coach Reed was so bad over there. Hey, he put it, getting that toe with that play.

49:21Shannon Sharpe:and I got out and ran in there and forgot all about that play. That's the worst feeling, bro. Oh, Joe. Hey. And everybody looking at me like, damn, how you forgetting to play? How you forgetting to play from the sideline to the huddle? Hey, hey. I guess jogging jarred my memory. Hey, look. That's like forgetting to play and probably being late to practice. That's been like the worst feelings, man. late to practice late late to meetings yeah and they already in there going through the meeting you gotta oh man that's that's the worst oh yeah oh that's the worst man i'm a i'm late for the meeting i'm playing the game better a offensive player of the game she had a sharp and you late for the meeting?

50:19Shannon Sharpe:I said, man, why ain't somebody, hey, on behalf of Mr. Sharp, I'd like to accept this award on his behalf, like they do at the Oscars, like they do at the Grammys or something, man, accept the award. Man, hey, we got a storm. We had played Carolina that Sunday. We beat the Brace of Carolina. I cooked them, Mocho. Cooked them. Sell them for$1.74.

50:47Man,

50:48Shannon Sharpe:that's no just another would not cooperate. Yeah, couldn't get to practice, huh? No, it was team mean because we give out the offense, defensive pleasure team player of the game that Wednesday in Mike's morning meeting. Right. So defensive player of the game, this many tackles, a pick, you know, sack, blah, blah, blah. You know, offensive player of the game, you know, it would be John, it would be TD. Most of the time it was TD. To be quite honest.

51:20Shannon Sharpe:But, yeah, but that's a bad feeling. As a matter of fact, I walk it in, they get ready to break the team meeting. That's the worst feeling, bro. That is the worst feeling. Because here's the thing, it's one thing to be late, it's so entirely distant to miss it. Huh? You was that late? yeah, man, that meeting don't take that long. It might just say, hey, great game, you know, blah, blah, blah. You know, congratulations. That's the way, you know, play start to finish. Play fast. I love everybody's engaged. Offensive player of the game, defensive player of the game, special teams player of the game.

51:56Shannon Sharpe:So the meeting ain't going to go for like six or seven minutes. Right. Being late is one thing. Missing the meeting is something entirely. Missing the meeting might cost, you know,$500. I mean, late for the meeting might cost$500. you know, missing the meeting gonna cost $2 ,000 yeah

52:16Shannon Sharpe:so yeah I understand like I said, I need to be there see it's hard to like pick up stuff where like you injured and they going over I need to walk through I need to be there and you know, you hurt you on the sideline, it ain't the same it ain't the same and hey and in this situation they are installing new every day so if you got if you not up to date on this today guess what that's gone we ain't talking about this no more we on page two and guess what we on page three and we on page four and then they come back and they go then they start implementing stuff from page one two three four five oh lord have mercy y 'all a joke, man.

53:05Shannon Sharpe:I know what you mean. That's what I do. Boy, you miss one of me, you mess around and be late, boy, you're going to feel lost. Yeah. Yeah, man. I had to get caught up. I said, man, I just went home one offseason and I just stood. I said, I got to know this stuff. Front with them backwards. I said, ain't no way. They're going to mess around and cut me if I don't know this stuff.

53:33Shannon Sharpe:Michael Porter Jr. spoke about the Nets practice facility saying I'm just glad y 'all got two courts man wow Joe who you think got some of the worst practice facilities you've ever played in worst practice facility man I played in some places I'm gonna be honest with y 'all it's probably here for the Hawks we practiced and it's we practice in the arena that we play. They got new facilities now over here by Emory. Yeah, but they ain't had it on when I was there. We practice in the arena that we played and they got a little practice court down there. That's what we did. Training camp. That's what we had.

54:12Shannon Sharpe:All our practice every day. Damn! It was bad, man. It was bad. They got state of the arts, somebody out of here now. It was bad, Ocho. They do. It was bad, Ocho. It was that bad? Man, we got, it's a little court inside the arena and that's what we practice every day. That's what we had. Training camp every day. It's just... It was tough, man. It was tough. Yeah. That's how the Ravens are state of the art now, but when I was there, that was bad. But these practice facilities, they got out here now? Because it used to be the old Baltimore Colts facility. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah, over here on Droid Hills.

54:47Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. But what Michael Porter Jr. talking about, what they got in Brooklyn? See, I was there. I was there when they built that facility. Oh, man. It ain't too many places, especially in the NBA, that can compete with that. Like, that's state of the art. Really? Yeah, it's in Brooklyn. It's a high rise. So you can kind of, you can see over the whole Brooklyn, over New York. Oh, you see over the hoods? You see over everything. You see the sky. You see the city, huh? Oh, it's beautiful, bro. It's beautiful. It's two huge courts in there. Yeah. Hot tubs, cold tubs. Like, they looking out for them boys over there.

55:23Shannon Sharpe:And see where Michael Porter Jr. coming from is Denver. They only got one court. It's probably a little bigger than what they got over here in Atlanta, what we had when I was practicing. So that's probably why he's saying that. Yeah, I'm surprised because Stan Kroenke got some bread now. Yeah. But a lot of these teams have upgraded their practice facilities, man. Boy, hey. The Hawks got a special one over here, though, Unc. If you ain't never been to it over here, they got a special practice facility over here now. Next to Emory Hospital? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I get jealous every time I go over there.

55:56Shannon Sharpe:I used to go over there. Like I said, I drew it here. I used to go over there and get my knee drained. Yeah. It's something nice. It's a sight to see. Hey, young bull about to get a big penny over there too, ain't he? Ooh, Trey. Back to Porter Jr.? Nah, the point guard. Trey. Trey Young. Trey. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, sir. They better take care of him, man. what they gonna do with our Trey over here exactly nice yeah make guys around him better it ain't too many guys like that in the league no more nope and you know they done got rid of John Collins I mean they done got rid of ain't nobody here but him yeah basically they got Dyson Daniels they let Capella go DeJounte they traded DeJounte but they got some talent though they got some talent but I think with Trey leading They got some talent, man.

56:54Shannon Sharpe:They got some talent to be special, especially in this Eastern Conference this year. So I'm looking forward to that for sure. But yeah, they got a patron.

57:06Shannon Sharpe:DraftKings asked AI to name the U.S. best sports franchises of all time by sport. No surprise. Yankees are one. Cardinals are two. Red Sox are three. Dodgers are four. Giants are five. Football. Patriots are one. Steelers are two. Niners are three. Cowboys are four. Packers are five. In the NBA, Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Warriors, Spurs. Hockey. Canadians. Canadians. Canadians. Canadians, the Maple Leafs, the Red Wings, the Bruins, the Oilers. Any objection, though? So you see anything that you object to?

58:01Not really, no.

58:03Shannon Sharpe:Hold on. I'm surprised the Patriots.

58:09Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, the Knicks ain't that. It appears to me, you know what it appears to me? They went by championships. Right. Yeah. That's what it looked like to me.

58:29Shannon Sharpe:And you said they won by championships in every sport. That's what you're saying? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

58:41Oh.

58:42Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Yeah. Always doing something. A.I. done got crazy, man. Yeah, we need to get on that thing. I need to get on that. Jonathan Kaminga reportedly prefers to play for the Sacramento Kings instead of the Golden State Warriors. Kaminga believes the Warriors have stunted and strung his career along for four seasons. Joe, do you agree? It doesn't seem like he's going to accept their, I think, what is it, their offer? Yeah, talking about the Warriors' offer? Because I think. No, I don't think he's going to accept the Warriors' offer. I think he's actually ready to move on. But, yeah, I can see him going to Sacramento.

59:23Shannon Sharpe:They would have to do like a sign and trade, though, right? Correct. Correct. Yeah, I think if the Warriors are looking to improve, I'm not sure what Sacramento has that they will want, but they're going to have to trade. They're going to have to trade Camingo, man. They can't go into the season. Yeah, he done. He fed up. He done. Yeah, yeah. Because I'm not so sure that he trusts him anymore. Right. There you go. There you go. So do him a favor. Why is he limiting himself to one team? Huh? Why is he limiting himself to just one team? Why Sacramento? Why not anywhere else? I don't think there's really been that style of play.

1:00:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. But has it no groundswell because, you know. Go ahead, Joe. I don't think there's really been a huge market for him, Ocho. for whatever reason. It's been a little weird for him, but he's definitely a talent who can help a team obviously win a title, compete for one. The Sacramento thing, I don't know where they came from. Maybe they got the money to spend, but I don't think going back to Golden State is in his near future. I don't think it's beneficial for the Warriors anyway. Because the things that Curry said, you know, Yeah, I think he's over that situation. Damn. And I think it kind of happened when they got Jimmy Puglia.

1:00:54Go ahead.

1:00:55Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, yeah. That kind of phased him out, yeah.

1:01:05Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey is wearing a$5 bill on his shoulder pads at training camp. every time I go out there, I'm trying to make some money. Come on now. Oh, he got it on the flap. He got it on the flap. Yeah, he tried to make money. He got it on the pads. I'm trying to get this bread. Yeah, I like that. I like that. Whatever you got to do. Whatever you got to do to motivate yourself. Whatever you got to do to stay locked in. Right. I like it. This is the second time he's gotten traded because he came from the Rams. He spent two years in Miami and now he's damn because he started in Jacksonville did a couple years in Jacksonville went to the Rams good at defense in Jacksonville boy and is the contract year for him uh uh he just signed one just signed one yeah they just extended him last year there wasn't nothing wrong with him I don't understand why they did it no he's saying he tried to make money when he out there that's what he's trying to say he's trying to make money while he out there okay alright that's something you would have done Ojo when you were playing oh nah nah I ain't putting not no five dollars I would have had a dollar on there not no five yeah yeah you know you saw where I tried to bribe that referee you notice I tried to bribe him with a dollar bidder right anything more than that did they fine you for that yeah they fine me a little 20 thousand that's cool it was worth it Iconic moment.

1:02:40NFL can't take a joke.

1:02:43Shannon Sharpe:No. I said they should have slapped him. I told him they should have slapped him with a bottle. Oh, yeah. What did I say? I think I about to say $100 ,000,$200 ,000. Unk went off for me when he was on Fox, huh? On CBS. Yeah, it was so funny. Hey, Joe, Unk went off. It was funny. When I saw it, I just laughed. I just laughed. I said, you know what? I'm going to make sure I do something else the following week, too. Oh, yeah, you kept some shenanigans. I mean, I like all the dances. I like all the other stuff. The ribbon dance, and I like the sombrero. Yeah. He stayed on some bull jive, Joe.

1:03:26Shannon Sharpe:Cam Ward told The Athletic there's a target on his back. I don't think I'm being welcomed in the league with open arms. I was the first pick. I'm blessed to be on that. But at the end of the day, there's a target on my back. There's a target on everyone's back in the league, but I'm trying to prove myself to my teammates. Yep, you're absolutely right. They want to see why you're the first pick. Just like we go out there, the DB that was the first-round pick, or he won the Thorpe Award, or he won the Buckets, or whatever he won. I need to see why you won that award, bro. Absolutely. Oh, yeah, they're going to try you now.

1:04:01Yeah, there's no target. For one, obviously, when you think about first-round picks, this might be the first time in the history of the NFL the first-round pick slipped up under the radar. Because all attention is going to the fifth-round pick. If you think about it, you have slipped right up under the radar as far as media coverage and all the hoopla that has always surrounded the first pick of the draft. Yeah, because of the Shadour effect. So I'm looking forward to what Cam Ward does this season. you're going to be fine because you got some pieces over there to work with too. You got some pieces to work with.

1:04:36Shannon Sharpe:Joe, that's the same thing with Bronny James. We ain't talking about not one first round draft pick. All they talked about is North 55, Bronny James. And Cam Ward, that market he's in, that ain't a huge market. You know what I mean? No. That's another reason why he's got it. He needs Cleveland. Right. That name. Yeah.

1:05:01Shannon Sharpe:Sanders, James. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they talk more about the 55th pick in the draft than they did the top two pick. And I think the Wizards got one and the Hawks got the other. Mm-hmm. Yeah, man. But nah, Cam, you ain't got no target on your back, bro. That's everybody that come in. Everybody that's a first-round draft pick. You a first-round draft pick. People need to see. And you're the number one overall draft pick. But hey, they're going to check your ID. Every game you go in, they're checking your ID. Make sure you're old enough to be in the club. Every time. They're going to make sure you're old enough to be in the club.

1:05:38Shannon Sharpe:Yes, sir. 49ers veteran left tackle. Trent showed frustration during practice because Nick Bosa kept beating him. Nick Bosa is beating Trent a lot of time. Trent yesterday had a big reaction to a move of the ball period that was dominated by Nick Bosa. The offense was stopped by Nick Bosa. Trent came off the field exacerbated. like he banged his thigh, just felt frustrating. I think that's great for the team. I think that's going to push Trent to get better and be better throughout training camp. And he's going to be Trent Williams by the time September rolls around. I hate to use iron sharpened irons, but it's definitely what's happening in camp.

1:06:14Shannon Sharpe:Williams is 37 and recently said that he wants to play until his 40s. Boy, that's tough. Hey, listen, if you're going to get beat in camp consistently, especially by somebody that's going to frustrate you, well who better than Nick Bosa to get yourself where you gotta get to you're not gonna be facing Nick Bosa's 16 Nick Bosa's nah absolutely not excuse me 17 now they got 17 games they ain't gonna be 17 Nick Bosa's hey but you got one over there Jared Burst he ain't no easy victory yeah you're right he's a little undersized a little quicker don't let that undersized fool you oh yeah he can go now he can go And I think The Cardinals Got one of the Eagles defensive linemen Oh one number seven last year Right Nah not Redick Nah not Redick He was a single digit though He was a single digit if I'm not mistaken You think so Who was it Who was that D lineman That went to

1:07:30um

1:07:44yeah joshua yeah yeah yeah he was a single digit right ash was he i could have swore yeah he was a single digit i could have swore he was

1:07:57Shannon Sharpe:because he's the one that said he could have easily been the uh super bowl mvp yeah yeah so they got a they got some guys that can get off the rock on you now

1:08:09Shannon Sharpe:yeah but you know trend's coming to a trend's coming out i think trent was nick last year he came he's coming off an injury yeah he had a few injuries he was out along with uh mcafree was out? Mm-hmm. They had a couple of guys out. They lost the wide receiver. IU. IU, Brett. Yep. Had a couple of DBs. Hifanga. Look, it's not going to be as easy as the 49ers think because they lost a lot of guys. Drake Greenlaw was late coming back. He's gone now. The DB, he ended up going to the Colts. not Ward yeah wait the Davis Ward left yep yep he was nice that's why Andy paid him he was nice alright it's time for our final segment of the evening it's time for Q and A.

1:09:27Shannon Sharpe:Zeus, the bully said, Ocho, you make no sense. Jerry Goff rating higher than Jalen Hurts. Sanders, 67. Wasn't he the best QB in college? Voted by his peers? Crazy work. You heard what he just asked me, right? What did he ask you? rating is based on statistics. Does he know that? So he just compared comparing Jared Goff, that, and Jalen Hurts. Like, what are we, what are we talking about? He said you, he said you, you got a Jared Goff rating higher than Jalen Hurts. And, I have a question for you. What did, what did Goff throw for last year? He threw for over 4 ,000 yards. Okay, What did Jalen Hurst throw for last year?

1:10:17Shannon Sharpe:Not over 4 ,000. Okay. There's your answer. You don't get ratings based off accolades. And we know we won the Super Bowl. The rating is based off the, oh, my God. You know what? Don't worry about it. Dulo Gante, I've been playing Madden since it was on Sega Genesis with three buttons. Ocho, I challenge you to a duel. You not beat me. You not beat me. You not beat me in nothing. Madden. FIFA matter of fact any gaming console you not beat me in nothing from Atari TurboGrafx-16 Nintendo nothing nobody everybody can't beat that guy Cam Newton say he that guy Cam sorry as hell at Madman Cam can't beat me doing nothing tennis pickleball golf nothing Dr.

That's your neck of the woods? He's nice. He's nice. I've been seeing a few clips of him playing very well. Also, I saw some clips today where he wasn't in with the first unit. I'm not sure what was going on with that. Maybe. He a slot? He left.
