Nightcap Hour 3: Vikings CRUISE to WIN Over Bucs + 49ers WITHSTAND Cardinals Push + Chiefs DOMINATE The Dolphins + Jameis Winston Gets W for Giants + Amazon Prime BIG DEALS

16:18Man, if it ain't one thing, it's another man with my Dolphins, man. Joe, I've been a fan, man, since 1968, Joe. Damn. I see. I had some good days with Tua. I had some good days with Dan Marino. You know, I had some good days with, you know, Matt Moore and, you know, Chad Pennington. But, Joe, it's been tough. It's been a long, long battle, man, you know, as a fan of the Dolphins. But, I mean, this sucks to hear. Yeah. It sucks to hear.

16:48Shannon Sharpe:Dang. My homeboy was 20 or 24, 246, two touchdowns, had one interception. They ran the ball 25 times for 88 yards. Rasheed Rice, seven for 88. Trav had another big play. He had two for 59 on the touch. Tyquan Thornton had two big first down catches. Ochoa, you know what? I'll watch Xavier Worthy. Xavier Worthy is fast, but he doesn't play fast. You would think somebody with that kind of speed, I guess because, you know, 4-2-1, Ochoa, I'm thinking, hey he runs fast if you understand what I'm saying he runs fast but he doesn't play fast you think it's because he's a long strider hey listen when you watch Tyreek Hill Uncle Joe when Tyreek Hill takes off right now I think Xavier Worthy is more of a long strider so it looks like his speed looks deceiving but if you right there up on him he'll probably fly right by you yeah maybe I could be wrong I would think he would have more big play with that speed yes but I guess you're right Ochoa they're probably like yeah we're just gonna play off you we're gonna make you we're gonna make you catch it keep everything in front of us not let you get behind us but no to say man they can and they could ill afford to lose A-chan.

18:21Chad Johnson:And it seemed like the Chiefs deal with injuries every year, don't it? On my trivia. The Chiefs? Yeah.

18:28Shannon Sharpe:No, they in tag. Who they got hurt?

18:33Chad Johnson:Who y 'all say just got hurt? Y 'all just said somebody - A-chan, he played for the Dolphins, the guppies. That Dolphins running back. I mean, it's the Dolphins, huh? My bad. Yeah, it's the Dolphins. We gonna be good though. Man, not really, but I'm just trying to keep faith. not this year y 'all ain't gonna be good this year i knew that hey listen hey you know what this mean what we lose a 10 so that that messes up you know what we can do offensively especially in the run game yeah our receivers you know they're decent uh i like the rookie caleb douglas but you know the number one pick you know with jeremiah smith coming huh man i watched i watched dolphin play today on an ocho and then malik willis out there running for his life yeah yeah he running for his life yeah you're right he makes him play for his legs too he did but yeah i mean every week you want him to be superman hey joe he don't have a choice until jeremiah get here he don't have a choice until who until who get here jeremiah yeah i'm telling you what's gonna happen yeah chat just remember i said it first yeah but it's not looking it's the look i don't think anybody thought the dolphins gonna win a whole bunch of games this year no the giants defeated

19:53Shannon Sharpe:the titans giants kicker just happened to be better than cam war today kicker dominique zavada uh zavada uh scored all 12 points for the giants with 24 seconds left in the game Titans Cam Ward threw a pick in the double coverage to lose the game. Cam Ward was 23 of 36, 181 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Here's Cam Ward defending his game-losing interception.

20:19I like to see it on film, see how close it was, you know, the linebacker was to me on the field. It didn't feel like I could have. But, I mean, in the day, I think my thought was higher. You know, it's a different outcome.

20:29Chad Johnson:As you're going through that, is there any thought to, like, I need to live to see another play, like, not be as reckless in that situation? I don't think it was reckless. I think, you know, it just wasn't a good ball. I think it was a good thing.

20:42Shannon Sharpe:So, let me get this straight. Rolling to your left. Throwing back across your body in the double coverage. That wasn't reckless, Ocho? Wait, you're never supposed to throw across your body. Thank you. That's calling the rule number one. Unless you're Brett Favre. Unless you're Aaron Rodgers. I mean, we see Pat Mahomes do it every so often. but I'm talking about quarterbacks with elite arm strength. Right. Yes. Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster, nine times out of ten. And you see where they got him. Yeah, hey. And it says, hey, don't you think it's okay to see another plate, see another down? Yeah.

21:19Shannon Sharpe:Because you score a touchdown, you score a touchdown, you win the game. Yeah.

21:23Chad Johnson:That sucks. That's tough. He still got some growth and development to do, fella. Yeah. He do. He really do.

21:31Shannon Sharpe:But if I'm on that team, I get my eyes beat out until he get better.

21:37Chad Johnson:You ain't got no choice. No. Man, they had the ball on the... Listen, they had the ball on seven with a chance to steal it, bro. I'm just... And couldn't come up with the big plays, Ocho. Like you had an opportunity, bro, to kind of stamp it. Damn.

22:00I just don't understand.

22:04Shannon Sharpe:It was like, you know what? I need to make better decisions.

22:13Shannon Sharpe:It's okay to say that. It's okay to say I need to make better decisions. I need to take care of the football. Disappointed that I put the ball in harm's way in that position because we're in position to win the game, and I let one get away. I got to be better.

22:30Don't

22:30Chad Johnson:Hey, they don't do media They don't do media training in the NFL They

22:36Shannon Sharpe:Like, he probably go Ocho, you know they go to Arizona and they do everything They put him through the Wonder League, they do all that They get asked questions, yes Yes, they do

22:47Chad Johnson:Yeah, man, I think I think when you play a dependent position Especially the quarterback position, Ocho And you can go up there and And show accountability man people respect you a lot more. They would. As opposed to deflecting, you know, you just own it bro, just own it and keep it moving. That's it. Damn man. I'm trying, man, Cardinal Tate, man, they was hyping him up, man, before the season. He was making all these nice one-handed catches.

23:20Shannon Sharpe:Who, Cardinal Tate? Yeah, man. He has six for 58 on 11 targets. wandell robinson has seven for 57 on 11 targets they had a touchdown where my dude at man calvin ridley he had one target zero catches man he playing playing with my dog over there man who playing with her man the titans man i don't like how they man they some slow No.

23:50Chad Johnson:Hey, they are some slow. You ain't lying about that. Yeah, for sure. Titan's been some slow for a minute, too.

23:56Shannon Sharpe:I don't see that changing anytime soon. Yeah. I don't either. No. I do not see that changing anytime soon.

Ocho, really quick, what happened to the Child's Please album with Oh No, You Didn't records? you told us about the interview with Coach Prime. Oh, yeah, go Steelers. Yeah, you know what? I was thinking about it, you know, in the studio. I just had so much other stuff going on. I didn't have a chance to, you know, to finish it. You know, some of the people I wanted to get on my album, you know, I really couldn't get a hold of them boys. But I got some stuff in the works, man, with some cool artists. Now, I'm going to drop it one day. told you last year put some respect on my Jags last week he said don't see 12 wins in the division put some respect big bank take little bank bingo's getting belt girls in December sorry Ocho and Joe this all fault oh yeah y 'all got the Jags too Joe man say he putting BTA next week y 'all they need to worry about us first huh because what we had to go through today man Joe finna go out there and go slap crazy on them boys man and they gotta come to Cincinnati too

36:12Dr.

36:13Shannon Sharpe:Frank L. Bellamy we're sorry the number you have reached is not in service at this time please check the number and dial again this is recording

36:24Shannon Sharpe:earlier this year oh Joe we got him don't you worry about it Joe me and you we got him we the boys. Doc, doc, stay locked in, doc. That doc's in the voice mail. Hey, it's tough. If you feel you reached this number in error, please hang up and try your call again. Nah, it ain't in error. Ocho, told you this was our get right game. They feared Darnell. Hey, please renege for that for Ocho. Play renegade for Ocho. What's renegade? Was that the song in Pittsburgh? Yeah, they – oh, yeah. I love that. I love that song when they play that thing. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. Doom, doom. Doom. Hey, that thing be rocking.

37:12I thought y 'all had this game, though, Ocho. Huh?

37:14Shannon Sharpe:I thought y 'all had this game. Yeah, I did too, Joe. I did too. I thought putting the ball in Burrow's hands with having much time, 45, 50 seconds on the clock, I really thought we was going to win that game. Or worst case scenario, you come out with a field goal, you go to overtime. You go to overtime, yep. It's all good, though. Hey, guys, what advice did you receive early on in your playing career that changed your life? And just to be clear, whatever you say don't make you no bad brothers. What advice did you receive?

37:49Chad Johnson:For me, it was my eating habits, bro. See, I didn't understand. I worked hard on Ocho, but I didn't understand like proper eating habits, you know, things you eat. And I remember one of the guys who was working for the Atlanta Hawks, he recruited me to come here to play for the Hawks. I remember seeing him at Walmart one night, bro. One night, Ocho, I'm in Walmart one night, me and the homers, we had them bought up a bunch of snacks and microwavable pizzas and all this. And he seen me. He was in there. He seen my car. He said, damn, what's this? I said, hey, we got to come get some food. He was like, man, you can't put all this in that car thinking it's going to run at a high rate.

38:29Chad Johnson:He was like, you can't eat this junk food. So once I learned that, everything changed for me.

38:37Ocho? I think the first real conversation I had, probably football-related, would probably be my rookie year after an upsetting game playing Tampa Bay and I had a talk with Keyshawn Johnson. Keyshawn Johnson might have been that conversation we had because obviously I had veterans in my room, but he was someone that I looked up to, being that we had the same agent at the time. For one, my attitude, because my emotions, my body language on the field, I was getting upset, just telling me to calm down, get him a playbook, understand the plays and take your time let the game come to you and don't press we and all this is doing all this during the game he's screaming at me on the sideline joe calm down stop talking why are you talking focus on what you're supposed to be doing so i'm trying to i'm trying to act like i've been playing for years instead of understanding what i'm doing like i ain't got it all together yet joe yeah yeah i'm in i'm coming as a rookie and I'm already talking and I don't know what I'm doing.

39:51And he like, simmer down, slow down. I'm all over the place, Joe, like a chicken with his head cut off.

40:02Shannon Sharpe:You know, nobody told me what to eat habits. When I came in, nobody was really eating like that. I started bringing my own food. I had a cousin that was a bodybuilder. But I think the biggest thing is that just be professional at all times. Yeah. You a pro. they don't have to keep you. They will still release you even during the season. They cut people all the time. And I think that was the biggest thing because I saw I'm very observant. I saw the guys that I see Steve Atwater who still even though he came in in 89 and I came in in 90. I saw Dennis Smith and I saw some of the other guys and I was like okay.

40:43Shannon Sharpe:See what they're doing. What I didn't understand I was like man why y 'all in the cold tub? Because I ain't really start getting the cold tub until like year three, year four. I said, man, yeah. They said, don't worry about it, keep playing. You'll be in here. I said, man, I ain't getting that cold air water.

40:59Chad Johnson:Right. Hey, you ain't lying. Boy, hey, look, after about year four or five, Ocho, I couldn't wait to get in that damn cold tub at the game. You're definitely right, Joe. Man, what? You have to learn. You have to learn the hard way. Because see, as a youngster, you probably ain't never had to endure none of that. I don't know about y 'all, But coming up, we wasn't training like that. We ain't have trainers. We ain't have people working us out like all these guys got now. Now they have so much at their fingertips, bro. It's almost like you're cheating.

41:27Shannon Sharpe:Yep. Yep. And they say, you'll get in here and show up. Lo and behold, that's exactly what happened. F Denver, them ref handed the guy at Denver. BS. Tell me otherwise.

41:41Chad Johnson:Yeah, I told y 'all they cheated. hey that wasn't no pi man oh it wasn't but we we take it the car's gonna average out over the course of the year man come on man oh man i don't make me no bad brother because my team got a break nah they don't make you know you call that a break that's that was more than a break i mean it's right there the eye in the sky they replayed it two three times That's what I don't understand. It was a pass interference.

42:15Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all want to go back and play? How about this? We're going to have the Rams turn around. They done took off by now. Turn around and come back. We're going to play. We're going to play that game. We're going to play the last two minutes.

42:27Chad Johnson:Come on, man. You got to keep it 100, bro. Come on. Look at him, Ocho. Look at him. They gave him that game. It's all good. Hey. He just tickled his little stomach. He's a little stomach hurt, boy. He's looking at him. Look at him. Man, Joe, Joe, hey, Chad, y 'all see how Joe is? Joe wanted me to lose so bad because he wanted me to be in the team. Nah. Nah, it didn't matter had the Broncos lost, because you going to come over here random raving by the Ravens any damn way. It didn't matter.

42:59Shannon Sharpe:I did the Red rave twice. Both of my teams won. That's all right. And both of your teams lost. That's OK. I mean I'm not tripping because we got the same record we got the same record you remember we lost that Sunday night how you and Joe came on here what do you mean it's him it's Ojo me yeah I ain't even say nothing oh you couldn't do too much because guess what your team lost Sunday night my team lost Monday night oh see yeah that was Joe then Yeah, that was Joe. Joe couldn't say too much. Jackson Dart did a number on y 'all. Come on, man. Chill. Damn. I mean, it shouldn't even came down to that.

43:48Shannon Sharpe:Y 'all had a 16-point lead. I mean, the Rams had a 16-point lead. That's true. I mean, that's the only way we felt we can get y 'all a chance was to spot y 'all. Woo. Because if we didn't play head up, I mean, we'd probably beat y 'all by probably by two scores. So we let y 'all go ahead and get on out there.

44:05Chad Johnson:Damn, that's how you feel, huh? Damn, Joe.

44:07Shannon Sharpe:Walk y 'all down. Once again, Brock Purdy, please, proves he's an elite quarterback. Up was crazy for what's thinking. Mack Jones was better. He's an MVP so far. Put some respect on the name. MVP stands for Most Valuable Purdy. Most Valuable Purdy. No, no, he's playing extremely well. And I've said this before. He saved Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch's job. Yeah. Because you traded all that draft capital to get Trey Lance. And Trey Lance didn't pay it out. Normally when you trade that kind of capital and you move up and you get a quarterback and you don't pay it out, everybody's gone. But because they took a quarterback with Mr.

44:47Shannon Sharpe:Irrelevant pick,

44:51Shannon Sharpe:that's what you got. Why y 'all ain't telling me my sign wasn't on, man? Man. Man.

44:59You see my sign, Joe? I see it.

45:03Shannon Sharpe:Virgil Harrison, 1663. Raiders. 4-0 next week. Who the Raiders got next week? I'm not sure. Hey, Ocho, Iso, and Nightcap fam, my birthday is today.

45:48Shannon Sharpe:Hey, five been real sweet about the Broncos all year. Speak up now. Say it with your chest out. Matter of fact, don't say foot or ball, bow or nicks. Let's go, Denver. I mean, we already told you, Joe, what y 'all record be. Y 'all were going to make the playoffs. We told you that.

46:03Chad Johnson:Who ain't going to make the playoffs? Cowboys. Man, please. You done got ahead of yourself tonight, for real. You done got ahead of yourself talking about we ain't going to make the playoffs. Y 'all not. Man, please. Philly going to win that division. Uh-oh. What make you so sure?

46:26Chad Johnson:Washington going to get y 'all next time when they come back? You know we got Washington number, man. We own Washington. I don't know why you ain't acting like that.

46:34Shannon Sharpe:What up, Nightcap fam? Unk, Ocho, Joe. Just started a podcast with a lifelong friend after being nervous, too. And it's suggesting to stay positive. Day one listeners inspired by y 'all. Kane and touchdown show. Bro, you gotta, hey.

46:55Shannon Sharpe:I approach this just like I did my football career. It's, this is the most important thing. You got to put time into it. You got to put time into it. And the amount of time that you put into – that you're on the air, think about how much time you got to put in off the air. And it's – Ocho and I started – I think we had like 300 – we had 300 – I think we had 300 people in the chat. And then it just picked up. It went from 300 to 3 ,000 to 9 ,000 to 12 ,000 to 15 to 20. but yeah you know we started out like uh man i think the first time we thought i think at first

47:37Chad Johnson:jojo was like 30 minutes yeah i was hey look let me tell y 'all something man i was in that chat bro hey joe you with that joe man i don't know if you could go back i don't know if they could go back and look at the chat and see who was responding but i was in there talking and everything yeah man i was supporting you boy from day one i ain't know we're gonna take out i ain't know gonna take out two damn years to come get me though. I ain't know that.

47:58Shannon Sharpe:Man, first of all, you didn't even talk, Joe. Man, we're asking my man, Joe Johnson. Tell me, you know Joe Johnson? I said, I know who he is. I don't know it. Tell me, he's in the chat. He's always responding. He's liking our stuff. I was like, well, see if he want to come on. Yeah, Joe, appreciate you coming on, Joe. The rest is history. Yes, sir. What is it about Devontae Adams that gives Sertan trouble, even when he He was at Oakland. He always has his number. Devontae is the only receiver I've seen Sertan struggle against.

48:31Chad Johnson:Is it because he's patient?

48:33Shannon Sharpe:He's very patient. If you notice, they do a lot of crossing routes with him. Yeah.

48:39Chad Johnson:Nothing straight ahead. They just have the whole field of work.

48:40Shannon Sharpe:Yeah.

48:42Chad Johnson:Because they don't look like Devontae be out there moving fast. But you look up, his ass is creating space. And now he got the route going. Because I thought it was a couple plays. I was like, damn, I thought he had some of that speed that he can get away. Nah, he's not fast.

48:57Shannon Sharpe:He ain't that fast. What was that when he caught last week? And he got, he pulled away and the guy ended up catching him. Nah, he's more quick than fast. He's tremendous in and out of breaks.

49:11Chad Johnson:Yeah.

49:12Shannon Sharpe:He's still able to get in and out of breaks very, very well. He's a technician. He's really technically sound. And I think the thing is, that's why he's still able to perform at a high level because he's never really relied on that. His speed is not what gets him open.

49:26Chad Johnson:Yeah.

49:27Shannon Sharpe:So he really hasn't lost the technician, the technical side of it. Yeah. He's flawless. His route running is unbelievable. That deceptive side. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

49:39Chad Johnson:I'm watching him tonight. That boy, hey, that boy working. He nice.

49:44Shannon Sharpe:The Jags under-talked about. The defense looks like a problem. T-Law is looking more and more like he was hyped to be recently. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the Super Bowl.

49:57Chad Johnson:They defense look solid, though, Ocho. Yeah, they D nice now. They D is nice. Old Trav out there getting them interceptions. Okay, I see you.

50:14Shannon Sharpe:Call them Shannon's shenanigans today, Ocho. I'm disappointed for you because I definitely picked the Bengals for my lineup. Iso, I know this was a tough to watch. Big three, what was the worst loss from a game that you took personally? Ooh, I remember that. I think it was that 2005 season, Unc. That divisional playoff game? That wild card game? No, no. We started out the gate 4-0. Offense was rolling. And we went down to Jacksonville. It was me versus Rasheed Mathis. I forgot who was on the other side. And, Unc, we lost that game. and boy i was in that thing snapping the damn they're tearing up like we had lost a damn super bowl oh i i was i was a mess boy what you call them what jacksonville game divisional playoffs 96 that's easy

51:11Shannon Sharpe:yeah it's hard joe y 'all y 'all play so damn many games but it but that that one in phoenix when

51:18Chad Johnson:I was playing in Phoenix. Oh, that game seven? It won game seven. We played San Antonio in the Western Conference finals. I missed the first two games, and we had home court advantage. We lose those two games, and then we end up going to San Antonio, winning the game, and coming back in Phoenix. And they finished us off. But I always think back to that series, Arke Ocho, because I thought, I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't think no team could beat us that year, bro. I didn't think no team could beat us. I got hurt and I think it hurt us obviously, but San Antonio was just too good, bro.

51:53Chad Johnson:They were too good.

51:54Shannon Sharpe:Were you there when Robert Ory came off the bench

51:57Chad Johnson:and checked somebody? That was the next year. I was already in Atlanta. That was the next year. Yeah, when they played them again, but hell, they stopped us from getting the title. That core group they had were Duncan, Ginobili, Tony Parker. Man, they just had guys who knew how to play and they played the right way and they played hard every damn game. Damn.

52:23Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, stop being cheap on the light bill and turn that nightcap sign on.

52:30Shannon Sharpe:That's what we call mile-high magic. Great dub for my 25th birthday tomorrow. Also, league need to give Bo respect. He's the second-best quarterback at AFC West. Okay, you know what? I can agree with that. because Herbert playing like nevermind. I don't want to be rude. Hey, and happy birthday, man. Yep, that's a great way to start the birthday. Ponies got help from the Zebras. Ocho, I put 500 on the Bengals because you said it was a lock. I need another pick, please. Another pick? Hey, man. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Don't be listening to me. Hey, don't be listening to me. You bet your money with who you want to.

53:15You know, I'm rooting for my team every week. You're supposed to be the expert, though, Ocho. I am the expert. Sometimes even the expert, you're going to lose every blue moon.

53:28Shannon Sharpe:What I don't understand is why would Dallas throw the ball in the goal line when you were getting six, eight yards a chunk? Shotty needs to be let go. Oh, man. It happens, man. Well, I think the thing is, you don't get the ball in, you're not getting another playoff. Because they're going to tackle and pile on, and by the time you unpile, you're not getting another playoff, Joe.

53:55Shannon Sharpe:You had a timeout, you possibly could run it. But with no timeout, you're not getting another playoff. You get tackled inbounds. Dallas was supposed to wait and call timeout before they kicked the field goal to tie.

54:12Chad Johnson:I don't know how Zay got so open.

54:19Shannon Sharpe:Lainey Ray says RIP to my dad on his one year Adam Angel day. He taught me so much, went to all my games, gave me my sarcasm, creativity, love of music. Miss you, Pops. Yeah, Lainey. Rest in P, Pops. I'm sorry for your loss. Loss is always tough, man. Rest in peace. It's tough. It's tough. You just get better. You don't get over it. but sometimes I just think you get better at dealing with it. You don't get over it because you're never going to forget.

54:52Chad Johnson:Yeah.

54:53Shannon Sharpe:Never. Blessings Big Three, Raiders football, baby. That's my first TD to mayor. Tell me Cousins wasn't surgical on that path, y 'all. Wasn't very tight and heavy. Love from IE. Oh, Inland Empire. Now, look. Look, we know what Cousins can do. It's just come playoff time when we need him in a big game. That's when we need him to do what he did today. We need that in big games. We need that in playoff moments. We haven't seen that far too many times. He's come up small in big moments.

55:34Shannon Sharpe:Took the over on the Bengals winning today after hearing Ocho preach yesterday. Had me feeling so good. I had the Broncos and the Ravens losing too. Help me double down, Ocho. Will the Bengals make the playoffs? You're damn right we're going to make the playoffs. What kind of question is that? What? Huh? What does the best you do? Man, I almost said I almost cursed. I've been doing good without cursing, man, the last few shows. Let's go, Ravens. Flock. I'm a little concerned about our defense after watching the last three games. What do you think? What do you think we have to work on? Greetings from Germany.

56:09Shannon Sharpe:P.S. Bengals still suck, Ocho. Ocho. What's happening? The Ravens secondary, Marlon Humphrey's going to have to move to safety. He's not twitchy enough to play. Man, he. How he going to move to safety? You already got Lewis. You got Kyle Hamilton there. Play the other safety. Oh, he can play free. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ocho, he ain't twitchy enough. They second. Man, they bad. They.

56:46Shannon Sharpe:that ain't that bad huh I mean he had there with no guess what he did the same thing the Alabama receiver you see him start the game with no gloves yeah at the end of the game what he have on though Joe glove yeah bro y 'all play with gloves you've always played with gloves yeah people that don't play with gloves they cannot Trey Hendrickson He don't play with gloves, Ocho. But I've never seen him play with gloves. That's one thing. But you come up at high school ball, you play gloves. College, you play gloves. Most of your NFL career, then all of a sudden say, no, I'm not playing with gloves.

57:31Shannon Sharpe:But that's not what your technique is all for. I mean, you give the deep ball, the CD, I don't know what you were looking at. I don't know what you were thinking. Nate Williams ain't much better on the other side. They got some issues. They got some problems. Damn. What's up, fam? Been a fan since day one. Can we finally give Raiders their flowers? First of all, y 'all said the Dolphins were bad. Then y 'all said the Chargers weren't good. Now y 'all got to say about the Saints. Raiders. I think Saints better than the teams that you mentioned. But no, look. I don't think anybody outside of that Raiders locker room predicted the Raiders would be where they are right now.

58:10Shannon Sharpe:No. Clint's got them playing really, really well. Cousins playing really well. That defense is hawking, taking the ball away. They're playing unbelievable. Yes, I am shocked the Raiders are 3-0.

58:25Shannon Sharpe:What's going on, Big 3? I support Drake May, but it's beginning to be harder and harder to defend him. Oh, did the Super Bowl done mental-wise, and how could he overcome that? Bro, look at the game that he played against the Texans. He wasn't good in that game. It was just CJ was worse. He hadn't been good since the regular season last year. Look at the games that he's played this year. Look at the playoffs last year. No, he hadn't been good in a while.

59:02Shannon Sharpe:Here's$10 to get Joe some cough drops. Man, what's up? Jay, you need some call drops.

59:13Shannon Sharpe:You guys are totally forgetting Zay Flowers flopping on two occasions. Big time moments called ten times worse than a no call on CD. We get the ball on the one with Javante and don't run it. Coaching. But here's the thing. You run it and you don't get in. Well, you got the ball on the one-yard line. You got a false start penalty that backs you up. Yeah. You forget about that. But the only thing is, there is, what, I don't know, 20 seconds. Bro, if you run the ball and you don't get it in, by the time they unpile, that time's out. Time's gone. And ain't nobody just popping up to help you get up so you can run a plate, so you can kill the clock.

1:00:02Shannon Sharpe:Salute ISO Soul Glow. Cowboys coming back to America. Maybe you win next week. I don't know what the Cowboys got next week. Oh yeah, y 'all probably win next week. I think y 'all got the books.

1:00:14Chad Johnson:Hey, what do you mean by the soul glow? What do you mean by that? Man, you know that ultra pearl? That freak? He's saying -

1:00:20Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, you got that free of pieces of cream up in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Joe. Hey, Joe got, you got that head like dude from coming to America, remember? Oh, yeah. The dude that was trying to date the daughter. Oh, yeah, that soul glow. Nah, Hakeem. Yeah, the one had the little Jerry curl.

1:00:39Chad Johnson:Yeah. Man, please, bro. Y 'all got to cheer. Yeah, nah, man, that man had a whole curl out there. Come on, man. Yeah, you got the peaches and berries in there too. Nah, nah, nah. You look like a curl on camera, Joe. Nah, this ain't nothing but juices and berries, man. I know what it is. Yeah, yeah. You got that freak up in it. Ain't no chemicals in this. Ain't no chemicals. This gets God-given, man. Oh, yeah, you got good hair, Joe. Everybody can't have Indian in their family. Yeah. That's God giving in a bottle. Yeah.

1:01:15Shannon Sharpe:Good evening, crew. I got the Bears upsetting the Eagles tomorrow. Keenum and Ben Johnson's offense is about to shock the league. Who y 'all got winning tomorrow and why? Oh, bear down. We took the Eagles. We already took the Eagles here. We took the Eagles. We took the Eagles. Jalen Hurts. and the defense. They had Caleb Williams ought to took the Bears.

1:01:37Chad Johnson:Hey, can I change my pick before the game if I want to? Nope. We done locked it in. Nope. What you mean? The game ain't until later. We asked you to pick. You pick. I'm saying I can't change. Like, let's say last second before the. No. No. I don't really want to be stuck with y 'all, man. You're too late now, though.

1:01:57Shannon Sharpe:What up, fam? I went to the store today and saw my team, the Titan, in the deli. Some slaw. I don't know. We'll ever be fixed. Good thing is my son, Justin, Justin Jr.'s 10th birthday and my sis' first wedding anniversary, Amber and Jeff. One love. Happy birthday, JJ, Justin Jr., his 10th birthday, and his sister, Amber, and her husband, Jeff. One love. Happy anniversary, guys. That's what's wrong. Do y 'all realize that three quarterbacks have suffered injuries playing against the Vikings on two consecutive games? Kalem's hammy, Bajanette's concussion, and now Baker's thumb.

1:02:36Chad Johnson:Damn.

1:02:37Shannon Sharpe:Football is a very physical, physical, physical, physical game. It's a collision sport. And things happen. When big men running the bigger men at a high rate of speed, things tear, things break. That's just the way it is. Thank you guys for joining us for another episode of Nightcap.
