I don't know what the NFL is doing. It's okay. I get it. You want to showcase the NFL and make it a global brand. But if the fields are not up to par, you run the risk of getting someone injured.

22:31Joe Johnson:that's a good question and it's an easy answer i mean especially for me i miss the competing the most the competing in practice and i miss challenging my opponent you know we are weak in advance before the game i miss that no and now i'm trying to fill that void of competing not having football anymore so i i fulfill that in other ways like gaming always challenging people joe yeah you know knowing damn well i'm not i wouldn't win but i'm trying to fulfill that void of of competing at the highest level by challenging other people with their respective craft even even if i lose yeah i just i just i got to do it i got to i got to find that that itch somewhere i got to scratch it yeah yeah hey hey i understand that itch because

23:19Shannon Sharpe:that's why i kick on you on our ass so bad because you know i like i need somebody i need Come on, come on. I need somebody, I need somebody that I could torture. There you go.

24:44Shannon Sharpe:nobody wanna live like that

24:46Joe Johnson:Joe you might not wanna live like that but the product sells itself And when a product sells itself, you got to get security. We're not going to be able to go nowhere. We're not going to be able to go to the airport and fly commercial with everybody else in another year. Why are we not? Huh? Why are we not? Because we're going to be famous.

25:07Shannon Sharpe:That's okay. We're going to have a nightcap plane. Huh? We're going to have a nightcap plane. Yeah, we're going to sign a deal for like$300 million. What? Look, I done been on a plane with Samuel Jackson. I've been on a plane with Steve Carell. I don't know if you play with a lot of famous people.

26:02Joe Johnson:Well, I probably, you know, I don't really go nowhere, Joe.

26:05Shannon Sharpe:If all the airports had Delta One, like Atlanta, LAX, JFK, I'd be straight. What'd Delta One mean, Unc? Well, you just go in and they just take you to another, They take you off the side of the plane, put you in the car, and then they take you to your car.

26:23Joe Johnson:You never have to step foot in the airport. Hold on. American got that. Concierge key. And guess who got that? You got that?

26:30Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, see, I got Delta. I do the Delta stuff.

26:34Joe Johnson:Okay, okay, okay.

26:35Shannon Sharpe:I don't fly America that much. I normally have to fly Delta or United. So you talking about, like, West Coast to East Coast? Yeah. If I go to Atlanta?

26:46Joe Johnson:Right. They need to get that here in Vegas. That's what they need to get. Hey, you know what you got? Hey, Joe, y 'all been on JetBlue, the men experience? I heard about the men experience. Hey, that men experience. What's different? For me, I like it. I like it because they got DirecTV. DirecTV, yeah. That's what I heard about, Joe. Man, they got so many freaking channels, Joe. You ain't missing no game. On what's this? JetBlue, the men experience. I didn't know. Flying East Coast to West Coast. Oh. Yeah, boy, they got DirecTV, boy. damn but joe in atlanta joe fly number delta that's it i'm going because because delta go

27:22Shannon Sharpe:delta non-stop somewhere you go to heaven or hell non-stop on delta direct oh hey and i i'm saved i got two million miles so i'm saving my miles damn i like in a hey boy you ain't a million miles joe yeah nah you've been flying on planes so But you don't really fly that much like that. Yeah, nah, nah. I ain't reached a million yet. Boy, you getting down, boy. Oh, yeah. Man, look here. When I was in L.A., because that's all I flew, man. I was diamond medallion. I mean, because everything I flew was Delta. So, you go, hey, you make a couple trips from west coast to west from L.A. to JFK. Oh, yeah.

28:10Shannon Sharpe:It won't take long. It won't take long.

28:18Shannon Sharpe:could you see Florida could you see the Florida Gators winning the SEC hell if they play like they played tonight yeah

28:26Joe Johnson:absolutely hey the test is going to be that Georgia game they play Texas too right

28:35Shannon Sharpe:I don't think they play Texas

28:36Joe Johnson:I could have swore

28:37Shannon Sharpe:I think it's going to come down to matchups you know what I'm saying They got a good chance of winning, but they might miss a team or two that probably could upset them. I think it's going to be about matchups in the SEC.

28:54Joe Johnson:Hey, that Georgia-Florida State game. When is that? When the game is supposed to?

28:59Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, they do, Ocho.

29:01Joe Johnson:Yeah, I thought I saw that.

29:02Shannon Sharpe:October 17th, Florida at Texas.

29:04Joe Johnson:Yeah, I thought I saw that on there. They got Mizzou next week. they should be able to handle that

29:19Joe Johnson:woohoo football Sunday tomorrow baby

29:24Shannon Sharpe:do y 'all wish do y 'all think Isaiah Horton wish he had stayed at Bama where did he transfer to Isaiah Horton yeah

29:39Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. Probably not because I think the thing is when I look at a guy, when a guy leaves the portal, I think he's not, maybe it's not necessarily for money. Maybe it's for a better opportunity. And, you know, if I'm not getting opportunities here, maybe I can go somewhere else and get a better opportunity. Yeah.

30:03Shannon Sharpe:I mean, that's the way I look at it. Obviously, you know, you want to win, but I want to contribute. And you don't know. I mean, sometimes guys want to feel like they want to contribute. Yeah. It's hard to complain when you win. You're not contributing, but people don't look at you not contributing. They say you being selfish, you winning. I thought the main objective was to win, not for you necessarily to get your stats. And I think that's what A.J. Brown ran into. A.J. Brown said, you paying me this money, I want to contribute. I want to feel like I'm being a part of it. They're like, bro, we winning.

30:44Joe Johnson:I got a question. Go ahead. Uncle Joe, and this is for the chat too. When it's time to come to that table and you ain't got no stats but you want that money, is them wins going to help you? get paid? No. Okay. I just want to add that little seasoning just real quick. Just for better understanding.

31:06Shannon Sharpe:I think the thing is Ocho, the way they look at this. When, if we like somebody Yes sir. Winning is a team stat. If we don't, he win.

31:19Joe Johnson:But I thought you said winning is a team stat. Yeah. All depending on who you're talking about.

31:25Shannon Sharpe:Okay. We clear. Big three love the show which coach would y 'all rather be chewed out by Nick Saban, Bill Belichick or Greg Popovich salute y 'all brothers Cowboy Nation, ISO, never be a phony who would you rather be chewed out by Saban, Belichick or Popovich Belichick you say Belichick Ocho does he curse Ocho does he curse what man

31:56Joe Johnson:Ain't like a sailor. I don't know. I'll probably go.

32:00Shannon Sharpe:I'll probably. Hell, I think all of them are the same. Yeah. All of them has been around each. All of them has visited like offseason coaches, compared notes. Coach Saban was Coach Belichick's D coordinator in Cleveland. So he learned a lot of his principles from Coach Belichick. Bless you. and Coach Pop, I can see, they all seem similar to me. Right. And you think Pop cursed? Yeah, yeah. Joe could tell you. Yeah, yeah, I think he cursed. You do? I think he cursed. I ain't never heard him curse, but I think he cursed. And my respect comes from, man, how I seen that man get on Tim Duncan and Tony Parker now, okay, Ocho.

32:44Shannon Sharpe:I'm talking about Pop. He got on him? What? Pop didn't care, bro. Pop didn't care. He probably, he probably got on Tim Duncan more when he got on the damn body on the team, bro. Yeah, yeah. I can respect that. Coach the best player and everybody else will fall in line. Coach him hard too, boy. That's why Coach Belichick was like that with Brady.

33:03Joe Johnson:Oh, okay, I got it. I got it, yeah. You bought a sofa you didn't have to assemble, a suit someone measured just for you, and now you're taking a guy's trip that actually matters.

36:34Shannon Sharpe:You can't pay. They're paying$10,$11 million to do what?

36:37Joe Johnson:Damn. that's tough

36:40Shannon Sharpe:go play in some meaningless bowl you don't play in the college football playoffs that's unacceptable

36:53Shannon Sharpe:I recently did a tour of Cowboy Stadium and were able to play on the field with the football kick some field goals and man did it humble me hard as hell barely made one from damn 30

37:06Look,

37:08Shannon Sharpe:professional athletes are supposed to make what they do look easy. Look easy, yeah. They're supposed to. That's why I be laughing when everybody says, I could have did that. No, you couldn't. You're doing exactly what you could have did.

37:20Joe Johnson:Yeah. Hey, the funny thing about it. Yeah. Hey, Uncle Joe, the funny thing about it is now being on the other side of the spectrum and being a fan of the game and going to football games and sitting in the stands and watching yeah it looks so it looks so easy it looks so easy everything is so spaced out and from the view in the stands it's easy to say what you should be doing you should go to the left oh just go that way but field view and understanding how difficult the game is in general i see why fans talk the way they do hey because where they're viewing the game from in the stands it looks very easy to do until you're out there you know in the middle of that war it's a different ball game well it's easy to do what you've never done you can say a lot you can say

38:10Shannon Sharpe:a lot of stuff but having been on the field and done it i'm telling you i'm like look guys it hurts me every time i see a defender let an offensive player cross his face i guarantee you they're saying don't let this guy cross your face because you got no help inside. Right. And I bid, damn. You don't let him right inside.

38:35Shannon Sharpe:And in certain things, don't you, like when I was in my prime and my spidey senses are tingling, I knew the defense so I knew where help was coming from. So I'm going to spin the opposite way. I'm going to do – I know like, okay, I caught this ball. He going to be driving hard inside. I'm going to spin outside. Oh, he's going to be driving hard outside. I'm going to spin inside. How much time do I got? Because you've got to focus on that. Because if you spin inside, you've got to realize that if they throw that ball and you spin inside, guess what? Pursuit's coming from inside. You spin back into a headache.

39:11Shannon Sharpe:So you have to process all that. I mean, all that's going through your head. Catch the ball. He's driving outside. I'm going to spin inside. Pursuit's coming from inside. Oh, no, let me go and get down. You do not want to take no – or get hit in your face from one of them D-tackles at the end. Because they coming. Damn. Every day they do pursuit balls. All right, find the ball, chase the ball.

39:33Joe Johnson:They coming, bro.

39:35Shannon Sharpe:You better answer. Absolutely.

39:42Shannon Sharpe:That's straight karma out of defeating Michigan at the last second, considering how they did Western Michigan. True. True. Yeah. Came back to fight him. Cali1234, the best thing coming out of USC ain't even football. You got to go to the women's basketball team, to be honest. Yeah, Juju coming back. And they got a squad already now.

42:43Joe Johnson:No.

42:44Shannon Sharpe:They'll ball from between 5 and 7. That ain't going to be enough to move him, though. What? Five to seven. If they only offering two to three. Nah, they'll be able to, they'll some way somehow match that. But if you go 10, 10 to 15, you can get them up out of there. Who gonna match that? Ain't nobody gonna match 10 to 15, I'm saying. But if it's another school that really want it? They ain't paying him no 10 to 15. They ain't paying no 10 to 15, like I said, five to seven. Why y 'all act like it ain't no cap on this? Ain't no cap? No, it is not. But guess what? Who said Mississippi State going to be?

43:21Shannon Sharpe:They ain't got money like that in Mississippi State. I know, but for – You're going to see it like that's Texas A &M or Texas. That's what I'm saying. These other big schools got that money. I'm saying if they want to come get him from Mississippi State, they're going to have to come with about 10-15. Five or seven will do it. No, they ain't going to do it.

43:36Joe Johnson:Ain't nobody making that, Joe.

43:39Shannon Sharpe:No, they ain't going to do it. I'm sorry. We're going to be in different times, fellas, and they ain't going to do it. Oh, there might become a time that somebody might be making that kind of money, but I don't think it's going to be next year. Damn, who the highest pay NIL playing now? Jeremiah Smith? What do you get? Him and Arch Manning?

44:01Joe Johnson:Arch Manning? What do you get? About four and a half.

44:06Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, man, Kamario, he get. I'm saying if you're another team and you want to steal him from Mississippi State, you're going to have to come with at least 10, partner. it ain't happening Sam Livet got four and a half so you mean to tell me he got four and a half I mean top players getting about five I say five to seven can get it done man they saying if this dude gonna pan out to be from what I've seen on tape 6-4-6-5 the way he throw it the way he run it yeah man he worth it he worth it I get five I bet somebody I bet he leave between 5 and 7.

Y 'all see how he's speaking out both sides of his mouth? Hey, hypocrite. Now, he up there, and they had all these politicians come up there. Oh, it's getting out of hand. And how are they going to be able to pay these kids? They got to get control. And here's the guy saying, well, if he's a coach, he tell them to get in the portal. Hey, Nick Saban say, hell, I ain't got to deal with it. Hell, y 'all deal with it.

They pay Jimbo Fisher$77 million to leave. Brian Kelly just got$54 million to leave. They don't figure out how to pay these coaches. They never cared about, hey, coaches leave. They fire these coaches. They don't worry about how they're going to pay the coaches. Now you're worried about how you're going to pay a student a little$4 ,000,$5 million a year.

46:49Shannon Sharpe:Hey. But they sell it, and they got people believing it. Either play, or either you want to get the players. It's just like free agency in football. Either you want to pay this money, or you don't. Yeah. or leave him where he is or let somebody else i'll bid you for it it ain't that complicated so ain't

47:16Shannon Sharpe:like to pay like they way

47:23Joe Johnson:whatever you want it's our anniversary anniversary anniversary.

47:34Shannon Sharpe:Still winning on to kill these other teams. All money takes the OMS the way they killed Oregon. Bro, Ole Miss Trinidad Chandler came back. He went to the Mississippi Supreme Court to come back. Why you think he came back? The money. Kids hell you got to damn near push kids out to go to the NFL now. I know y 'all saw Phil Knight just donated a billion dollars to Oregon. Damn.

48:08Joe Johnson:Uh-oh. A little tax write-off.

48:13Shannon Sharpe:Really? I don't blame the kids. Get as much as you can. All these years, when nobody's saying nothing, the college is making all the money. The school's making all the money off these kids' image and likeness. All this money to these kids winning bowl games and doing all this stuff. Now, you got to pay to get these top kids. Now, man, I'll, ooh, Joe, they got to get a hold on this. It's the wild, wild west. Same thing with coaches. Look how much these coaches making. Signetti,$14 million. Kirby Smart,$14 million. $13 million for Lane Kiffin. Dabo making 12 levels. And that ain't too much money for a coach.

48:56Shannon Sharpe:It ain't too much money for a coach.

49:06Shannon Sharpe:Fella, get all you can. As much as you can. I'm going to get my hand dropped. Yes. So guess what? Even if you don't make it to the pros, you done made you about$7 million. You done made you about$3,$4 million to get you a nice head start in life. Get you a nice little head start. Y 'all imagine?

49:30Shannon Sharpe:Nice. Hey, Unk, Ocho, Joe, y 'all deserve a big thank you. Y 'all put athletes on most casuals wouldn't see. That says a lot.

We love having them on. But y 'all get y 'all money, kids. Don't y 'all listen to the NCAA. Don't y 'all be listening to that man. They're talking about I wouldn't. You would.

50:26Shannon Sharpe:Oh, Joe, them Bengals got it tomorrow, so could I throw 500 on it? Damn.

50:31Joe Johnson:Hey, yeah, throw five on that thing. You hear me? We have to be careful now. The first two weeks, we look good. It's a division game, though, Uncle Joe. Yes. It's a division game. No matter how bad we're doing, no matter how good we're doing, the game for some reason is always close. I know the Steelers have looked bad the past two weeks, but still, we're going to win. We're going to win because that defense is playing all world, and offense ain't even hitting on all cylinders yet, so ain't no telling what's going to happen. It's still going to be a close game. Every time, always.

51:08Shannon Sharpe:What's up? Can y 'all give opinions on the field in Brazil? The videos I saw the players should refuse to play on it. Yeah, I think it's horrible. but our opinions don't matter. The NFL about that dollar. They over there now. It's over with. Yeah, they're going to play there. Yeah, for sure. About that dollar and don't let them tell you anything different. Player safety is second. The dollar is first.

Got to get out of the mud. You got to get it out of the mud. Yeah, you got to. They got A. Like I said, you look at Georgia, ranked number two. Texas, number one. Bama, number eight. Florida, number 21. Could possibly move into the top ten. They're not in the top ten. They're going to be just outside of the top ten. Mississippi State, Ole Miss. Ain't no breathers. And even, guess what? Kentucky is getting better. Very.

52:45Joe Johnson:Hey, Kentucky was surprising. Matter of fact, Kentucky is up there with Florida and surprising me at how well they're playing this year.
