In short

The episode is a sports-and-entertainment nightcap led by Chad Ochocinco Johnson and Joe Johnson (ISO Joe), mixing NBA and NFL talk with quick Q&A, plus a brief World Cup/UFC/other headlines wrap-up. Main topics: Ja Morant’s first public comments after being traded to Portland; how receivers should handle emotional swings and being “taken away” by defenses; and AJ Brown being called out by Tom Brady on New Heights.

Guests

No formal guest is featured in the transcript; the “guests” are the sports figures discussed (Ja Morant, Tom Brady, AJ Brown, plus references to Travis Kelce, Ocho’s NFL examples like Rod Smith, Edgerrin James, and others).

Key claims

Ja says the “bad boy” narrative should stop because “nothing happened” recently and he’s a new person with a new team; he urges staying focused and keeping guns off social media. Brady argues receivers must sustain performance despite game-to-game target volatility.

Notable examples

Brady’s “11 catches vs 3 catches” psychology; Ocho’s decoy/targets explanation; comparisons to Justin Jefferson’s target expectations; and references to Portis/football anecdotes.

Because you're not going to be able to get one for less than 10. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Cincinnati Bengals value just increased. I think the Cincinnati, I think y 'all, and I ain't taking no shot at you, I think you guys are the least valuable team. Don't do that. Don't do that. But least valuable now is$5 billion.

3:30Joe Johnson:Okay, okay, we rich.

3:35Shannon Sharpe:Five billion.

3:40Shannon Sharpe:Ja Morant spoke for the first time about the perceived bad boy image since being traded to Portland. Let's take a listen to what Ja had to say. I mean, obviously I've done, you know, what I've done in the past, but it's been addressed and handled already. So I don't see why, you know, years later that's still the topic when nothing happened since, you know? And I felt like if I was that guy, y 'all wouldn't be talking to me now. I wouldn't be here, so.

4:18Shannon Sharpe:I agree with what he said. He's like, look, bro, give me a chance. What I did there, I did there. Now I'm here. This is a new slate. I'm with a new team. if I run a file, you have the right to bring that up. Now, we done got it out of the way now, Ocho, Joe. We addressed it. Yeah. I don't need every time that we have a conversation, you talk about what I did in Memphis two years, three years ago. Hey, hey, hey, but we know, we know it's gonna follow him, Ocho. I know he don't wanna hit, I know he wanna move on, I know he wanna start over, he can have a new slate, but hey man, some of the images that's left in people's head, bro.

4:59Shannon Sharpe:They want to know your thought process, what you were thinking at the time. What he has to do is just stay focused, bro, and keep grinding. Yep. And that's it. Head down. Keep chopping wood, partner.

5:11Joe Johnson:But along with that too, Uncle Joe, obviously, chat, y 'all listening to me too, we have to understand what makes Jabber Moran special. You know, what makes him as exciting and the polarizing player that he was in Memphis. Not the off-the-court stuff. I talk about him on the court Still remaining Allowing him to be himself Without losing his edge You can taper it back a little bit But don't take away what makes him special There's a certain if factor that he has And there's a certain presence and aura that he brings And energy To a team and we saw that with Memphis But we don't want to take it all away from him

5:48Shannon Sharpe:No we just don't want How about this here Ocho Just keep the guns off social media And keep the guns out of the building where you shouldn't have them That's all we ask you Joe. Hey, hold on, I got one more.

5:58Joe Johnson:Okay, can he throw the grenade at least?

6:00Shannon Sharpe:No, we let the grenade go. Let the grenade go. Hey, listen, I like all the antics because, you know, for one, it lets me know he's enjoying the game and having fun. And it seems like he's lost his joy for the game, Uncle Ocho, and I could be wrong, but just by listening to him talk, like I want to see him get back enthused about playing the game. I want to see him get back to being that kid that we enjoy watching, bro, who was box office, star-studded every night, you know, putting on the show. That's what we want to see, man. Like, you know, body language don't lie. You know what I'm saying? So when I see you out there training, working out, playing, like I want to see that enthusiasm coming from him, bro.

6:44Shannon Sharpe:Like I just feel like the past couple years, because he's dealt with so many injuries and so many setbacks, you know that it took the love and joy and passion away from him even times he has played arcan ocho hell he's just been you know just kind of out there i want to see him get back to having

7:01Joe Johnson:fun man and you know what also you know not only a change of scenery it can be a good thing for you but it also be a wake-up call absolutely woke him up they moved it he's a franchise player I was just going to say that. You're the French right player. You're the face of Memphis over there. And they had the nerve to move me.

7:22Shannon Sharpe:And they didn't get a whole lot from you. That lets you know, Joe. Now, the next move, you know it's going to be because they got little or nothing for an all-NBA player, an all-star player that's 25, 26 years of age. They basically had to give him away. Yeah. Yeah. That ain't normal, bro. So, hey, hey, hey, he another guy. You know, we talk about JB who's going to be motivated. I'm looking forward to Ja, you know, being motivated as well, bro, getting back to enjoying the game, man. I got to see it, bro. He got too much talent. He's phenomenal, man. Too much talent, Uncle Ocho. I got to see it, bro.

8:01Shannon Sharpe:But guys moved to a new spot for me. I know it's back there, but okay, change of scenery. Now, he go here cut up. Now, you just lost me. But I'm willing to give the man the benefit of the doubt that he's at a new scenery. He has a change of scenery. I believe you. Hopefully he's learned his lesson, and he's going to be a model citizen. Like I said, just keep the guns off social media. Don't take them where you're not supposed to have them, and you'll be fine. I don't know what made the man put a firearm on social media, Joe. I still don't understand that. Hey, hey, just. You know, but you don't be thinking, Joe, you don't.

8:46Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I mean, you get so caught in the moment, bro, from the times that it did happen to him when he was in the little strip joint and riding with his partner, like you get so caught up in the moment, bro. I don't know, man, I don't know. Joe, I ain't never, Joe, we flew, look, I ain't never thought about taking that, taking that two with me on the road. I ain't either, I ain't gonna lie to you. And it used to be a lot easier back in the day, boy. You get that thing on there. I'm talking about when nobody know nothing. Nothing. Cause we pulled right up, got off, ain't had to go through no metal deterg, they just walked right there, rocked your ass right up on the steps of the plane.

9:23Shannon Sharpe:Nothing. Nothing, bro. I'm talking about.

9:28Shannon Sharpe:And I definitely, I definitely ain't talking about. Barney Portis is telling us all the time, he says, son, if you gotta take a weapon somewhere with you, you don't need to go there. Right. Right. You don't need to go there. He learned his lesson, man. He learned his lesson. I believe so. Yeah. I believe so. Because behind all that hell, he lost a lot of M's, boy. Even though he still has one of the hottest shoes out and the man ain't really played, it lets you know, bro, how iconic he is and what he means to the culture because these kids love him, bro. They do. They love him.

10:10Shannon Sharpe:AJ Brown got called out by his own childhood hero let's take a listen what Tom Brady had to say on new heights that position it's like I almost want to like the psychology of receiver I almost want to say like you're gonna catch 110 balls this year okay you're 17 games you're a great receiver you're gonna catch 110 balls one game you're gonna get 11 and one game you're gonna get three and the next game you're probably gonna get 11 then you're gonna three I can't have you like the happiest guy in the world when you catch 11 or the most miserable guy on the team when you catch three we got to look at over the course here you got to sustain because it is a lot of emotional um energy that you put out to that position to go come on come on we got it come on stay locked in let's go because i need you come on and it's like that position takes away if you have that volatile emotional output it takes a lot of energy from a lot of people to keep that player really stable so you gotta like try to reframe it for them and just say listen like you may get three but you're gonna get 11 and or you might get 11 11 11 and then you know three three it's just the way it goes yeah if they're doubling travis you ain't touching the ball that's the reality if they're butchering you at the line of scrimmage but with the defensive end and they've got you know some ridiculous athlete over the top of you yeah but it frees it out for other people and you got to be cool with that so i mean it's that is a as we're going to see it again this year you know who's the next unhappy receiver and i understand it i mean that's i don't want to be involved in the game you know and asia wanted to be involved i covered a lot of those eagles games you know i'm and that that passing offense isn't that's not what that team's known for you know so now he's actually going to a team where they are more known for their passing offense.

11:58So, you know, there will be maybe a little more satisfaction from him from that standpoint.

12:04Joe Johnson:Go ahead, Ocho. Hey, I like exactly what he said, Uncle Joe. Chat, that was me. That was me. One game, 11 catches. One game, 10 catches. Joe, then all of a sudden, I get a game with three catches. What is Carson doing in the huddle before we break? Lock in. What is Carson doing to me on the sideline when i sit on the day with me and my hey stay in the game i'm gonna get the ball if i can't get it to you please understand why i can't get it to you and you are opening up things for other people but then and in my point my whole thing i always look at cars and say why are we allowing them to dictate what we want to do are we playing in today hand i think we should deal our own thing but i understood that's the way the game goes it is ebbs and flows each each week Each week is different.

12:50Joe Johnson:Some weeks you're going to get yours. Some weeks you're not. But the hardest part for us as receivers, because we play a dependent position, is those weeks where you're not getting that ball, Unc. Right. Oh, my goodness. And you feel like you ain't involved out there? Yo, it hurt, Joe. I'm not going to lie to you, Joe. It hurt, boy. Not only are you not involved, Unc, you're not involved because they're taking you away. They're taking you away, and your team is not doing anything to put you in position to make a play. They're just saying, okay, y 'all going to take Ocho away? Okay, forget it. Y 'all going to have Ocho.

13:27Joe Johnson:We're going to work with everybody else.

13:29Shannon Sharpe:But the problem that –

13:30Joe Johnson:So now I'm a decoy. So I done did all this work Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Now Sunday, I'm a decoy.

13:38Shannon Sharpe:The problem that A.J. didn't understand, when he catching those 12 and 13, what about the other receiver? What is he going through? Yeah. You see that? See how that happened? Now, at some point in time, when you getting your 11, 12, 13, that means somebody else getting them two to three, right? Right, Ocho? Yeah. Somebody else getting them two to the fuse. But you ain't thinking about them. Oh, yeah, yeah, boy, feed your boy. Feed me, Seymour. Yeah, yeah. I looked at it like, man, I got 13. I got 12. I got 11. I look over there. Rod got four. The first Super Bowl, Rod didn't catch a pass. Rod Smith did not catch a pass.

14:21Shannon Sharpe:I know he was hard, boy. He come at the next Super Bowl, get five for one eight, one thirty something and a touchdown. That's how it was. Some games, I have monster game. Some games, Rod Foots have monster game. Sometimes, Easy Ed had monster game. You just had to, the one thing we know was going to be constant, that thirty, we're going to get twenty-five, thirty touches. Yeah. Every time. So we got 65 plays. Now, find out how we're going to divvy up those 30 pass attempts and when John's going to complete 22 of them. Yeah. So you got me, Ed, Rod, two running backs, and Willie Green. Because you know if somebody get 10, they ain't but 12 more passes, divvy it up between six people, four people, five people.

15:09Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey. Hey, and if he called your number, you tried to make damn sure you caught your pass in, man. Hey, even if he didn't call my number, I'm trying to get open first. First one, first served. That's how it was. Now, look, I was with him the longest, and I had the best relationship with him, but he was going to throw the ball to the guy that came open first. Yeah. Now, he had a lot of trust in me because I was the biggest, I was the biggest, most physical receiver. And he know I'm going to fight. Hey, I pull a guy, hell, but slap off his damn ear before I let him intercept it. Yeah. but that's the way it is.

15:45Shannon Sharpe:And I was trying to tell him, I'm like, oh, Joe, your number one receiver in today's game, he probably ain't catching less than 85, 90 balls. 17 games, when you project it out, he gonna get somewhere between 85 and 100 balls. That's if he just decent. You done top, you puka, you chase, you JSN, Yeah. Justin Jefferson, you're going to get them targets. Jell-Den can't do nothing about this quarterback situation. That's why he ain't getting no balls. He's going to be straight this year. He's going to be straight. Who are you talking about? Justin Jefferson. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Playing what he gets.

16:29Shannon Sharpe:Justin, like, hold on. Man, how I go from catching 105, 115 every year to all of a sudden I'm struggling to get 1 ,000 yards?

16:39Joe Johnson:Yeah, Kyle is going to get him right out of that. He got over it, but barely.

16:44Shannon Sharpe:but I also want guys to understand that you're still valuable even if you don't catch passes. You can run, you can block, because your time is going to come. It does. I mean, there have been very few people that every once in a while you get a JSN and you get a Cooper Cup, Ocho, and them jokers seem to catch 100 balls. They catch eight, nine balls every game. Puka catches. Like, damn! But you go back and look, Joe. Ocho, them jokers got 180. They done got 190 targets. They're getting 12 targets a game. You give me 12 targets a game, I will come down with seven to eight of them. Seven to eight of them over 15 games, that's 126, 130 catches.

17:25Joe Johnson:You also have to think about, too, how different the offense is. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The offense that they play in. Look at Sean McVay's system. Yeah. McDonald's over there in Seattle. Who else would like that? Kyle Shanahan, they do the ball.

17:39Shannon Sharpe:Oh, yeah.

17:40Joe Johnson:You know who's going to have another bounce back season? Mark my words, Mike Evans. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Read the full transcript

17:46Shannon Sharpe:You think so in San Fran? What? As long as he stay healthy, them hamstrings can hold up. In Shanahan's system? Stop playing. Absolutely, Ocho. You're absolutely right. If he can stay healthy in that system. The official language of football is trash talk. Late night group chats, memes, and unbelievable highlight clips.

25:40Joe Johnson:Yeah, that's it. Well, Portis used to kill that playboy in Denver, boy. Oh, that's why

29:44Shannon Sharpe:I led the team. I led both teams in receiving. I led in 97 and I led in 2000. Don't that count for something? Yeah. Yeah. I went to the Pro Bowl with the Ravens.

29:55Joe Johnson:Well, you played for the Ravens for two weeks. That's it. I played for two years. Same thing. Two weeks, two years, same thing. In order for a team to be yours, you got to be at least three years. Now, Joe, you see what he do now? He said he got to be three years. I can tell you, it's in the rule book. I didn't write the rules. I'm just telling you.

30:16Shannon Sharpe:Hey, hey, hey, because you know when football. Why that man, why that man, why that man do that?

31:02Joe Johnson:I mean, you can claim it all you want, but again, like I said, it's written. It's an unwritten rule.

31:08Shannon Sharpe:Why this man doing this, man?

31:09Joe Johnson:In order for you to claim a team, you have to be there three years or longer. just because you won something significant during your short stint there does not make you a part of said team.

31:20Shannon Sharpe:So you mean to tell me Kawhi went to the Raptors for that one year and he won a title in the left. That mean he ain't... No, that's why he went back. Oh, so they don't count? I don't know. Come on, Joe. And I won. The Ravens fans. Ravens fans know big play shade. They know 82. I hung a banner in that stadium. M &T, I hung a banner. I helped. I didn't hang it. I helped. I was a big contributor. Yeah, yeah. I mean. All right, whatever. I'm still, that's my team. Y 'all had Mr. Tendonism come on the show. Now y 'all got to have Mr. Baptism come on. Those wings are looking fire. And hug me and would have to fight with those rookie pranks you pulled.

32:13Shannon Sharpe:Bro. Hey, Mr. Baptism. No, he doing wings now. Oh yeah? Oh, he talking about the dude in the backyard. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes, yes, yes. I ain't see that. He in South Carolina, if I'm not mistaken. Ocho, you seen dude. You told he gotta be lowering him down? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ocho's seen him. Ocho, you ain't seen him. He be cooking him everything. They just be cooking possum, raccoon, snake, alligator. I ain't gonna lie, it be looking good too, boy. I ain't gonna lie to you. I tell you what, we gonna go down there and get us a mess or something. All right, all right.

32:47Shannon Sharpe:You gonna eat that gator? When he put that big, that whole gator on there like that? I mean. I mean, eat it up. You hit it. I've never had seen anybody eat the whole body of the gator. Normally they eat the tail, but I told you my uncle ate the gator, ate the tail. He said if he know the tail was this good, he'd eat the whole damn gator. Cause back then they just chopped the tail, if the gator went away. But I mean, not no big, big gator. But I guess, you know, a little bit bigger than what he be baptizing. But man, it's just something about it, man. When they cook them animals whole like that, I ain't gonna lie, it'd be hard for me to get past.

33:25Yeah, cause I don't want no fish.

Man, I'd much rather watch Unk fight Shakur than see whatever just happened in the UFC.

34:11Shannon Sharpe:I've never seen anything happen like that before. So, I mean, yeah, it's frustrating

34:21Shannon Sharpe:for it to end like that. Look, Mike Tyson used to fight and hell, Patty choked the guy out in 52 seconds. Yeah. So, either way, but I I think if a guy gets knocked out, a guy gets choked out, that's one thing. But have to end a fight like that? Yeah. It's frustrating. And I get the frustration, especially you spend that kind of money. Nah, O 'Ukna got too old. O 'Ukna got too old to squabble now.
