That's why I've been in my own lane, my own world and put it the way people love to take ish out of context, to rationalize a statement in their own head that makes sense to them. What a world. Video came out today of Odell selling game worn chrome heart cleats for 50k. Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, remember, remember when I you were telling me the story un. And I said I, I thought, I, I thought he was giving perspective and context on how difficult it is to, to be able to manage money. I didn't, I didn't really think he was talking about himself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. Ooh, if you got Ocho, what's Difficult about managing 60 million liquid?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hold on. Well, what's difficult? The number, the percentage of athletes, NBA, NFL, MLB is damn near 90% now. So I mean, it's difficult. That's why I thought, I thought, I thought. Because the first thing when he said it and gave context and perspective on how difficult it is, I thought he was meaning in general, not specifically talking about himself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

That's all. But go ahead.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I get what he's saying.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yes sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you're feeling first of all, spending $4 million in, in yearly expenses.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yes sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Your home, family, home, X, Y and Z. Well, first of all, to spend that, you need to make, make at least 10 million, right? Because you, depending on where you are now, if you're in a state that takes 50% now if you're in Las Vegas, you in Nevada, you in Texas, you in Florida. I think Ohio has no state income tax. I think Arizona is, is like 2%. So if you're in one of those states, so it's going to take about 10 million to do that, to have that kind of lifestyle. Now, now what happens is OO is that you still try to main that maintain that lifestyle. Joe. When you're not bringing in 10 million and you're still spending out that money kind of money going out. That's why they go out. That's why you, you see guys go belly up. OO is that you don't change your spending habits. It's the same way if you're an athlete, you, you eat whatever you want, you work out. Now all of a sudden you're not an athlete and you still eat whatever you want. Now all of a sudden DBs look like D lineman. That's what happens with money.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, hey, think about what you just said. Hey Joe, think about what you just said, right? Think about what Unc just said real quick. Right? Is you, you live in a lifestyle when the money's coming in fast, right? You, you become accustomed to that lifestyle that Lifestyle actually becomes your image, and it becomes an identity.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

So once you stop playing the transition, to be able to stop and have the discipline, to be able to cut it off, to become a. A minimalist almost, in a sense, it's almost impossible. It's hard because you always want to maintain that lifestyle and that image, because what's the first thing everybody that you're trying to goddamn impress gonna say, oh, he ain't got it no more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he first time on your. You ain't got a new car, man. Hey, he must be doing bad, right, man, you know, hey, you should see him with a new whip.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, hey, hey, Joe. Hey, Joe and Uncle. One thing about it, boy, I learned early. I learned early. I did not want to try to keep up with the Joneses. I did not want to keep. Hey, Joe. And I. I. And Joe. I did it when I was making the bulk of my money. Joe. Joe. I came in the NFL already cheap as hell. I didn't care about people making fun of me. I didn't care about certain types of women not wanting to date me because they know, yeah, he ain't gonna. He ain't paying nothing. He not. You know, you ain't getting nothing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

That's okay, because I understand. I understand Dealing with you is nothing but a liability anyway.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You know, I got the table, and the legs you got ain't gonna hold it up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hello. Hello.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You know, so you understand that you play the game, Joe. It's all a game. And the better you learn to play the game, the longer you will be able to be without. It's okay. But so many of us, Unc. So many of us are so caught up in looking like we fucking got it. Like, I don't. Everybody want to be rich. Everybody want to look like they like. Like. No, that's not reality. Social media has us fooled. It has all of us fooled.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They ain't got me fooled. They got me food, because I know damn well I do okay. And I ain't living like that. No, I ain't got it like that. Right.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You know what's scary, Joe? Joe? This. This is scary part. And this is. This is for men and women when it comes to the people that try to maintain that lifestyle. And, you know, they don't make the kind of money to continue that lifestyle, especially if you don't play sports. If you don't play sports and you and all this flashy, that means you're willing to do anything, anything to maintain that image. Well, that in itself is Dangerous Joe.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. If you leave the sport and you get you a gig and you making money like Stephen A. You making money like Strahan. You making money like Tony Romo. You making money like Tom Brady.

[Freddie Prinze Jr.]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Take off.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Wait, hold on, hold on. Now. What you're not gonna do is. I ain't gonna me. I don't mean to put the people in our business, but if you're making money like Uncle Nocho, girl, you. Hey, listen. Hey, boy. Hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. No money like that, huh? Don't set everybody up. Everybody good. Mom good, Sister good, Everybody good.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Listen, listen. I'm say this one more time. I guess I see them numbers at the end of each month. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Just.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Just add us to that goddamn equation. I'm tell you what my grandma always told me, huh? Speaking.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Hey.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Speaking into existence.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hello. Yeah, we do. Okay.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, when you say okay, add three more wires to it. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I saw. I saw a guy today. I saw. I read a quote. Yes, sir. The guy was. He was basically saying. He says, as you become more famous and you become more well off, relationships become more transactional. Understand that? Understand that? I'm learning that.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Do me a favor. Do me a favor just in case the chat didn't hit you, because I got one for you. Say it one more time. Say it. Make sure the chat.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The more famous you become and the more well off you become, the relationships become more transactional. Y' all know what transactional is? Yes, I agree.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, let me. Let me get. Let me get. Let me dive a little deeper for you real quick, Uncle Joe. Even if you're not wealthy, even if you're not making millions, even you're making hundred, thousands, or even if you're a thousandaire, you know, you know, you get paid every two weeks. The individual that you're dealing with is still dealing with you based on the ability for you to provide and give them stability in a sense of peace. Always. Always. So it still aligns those. Those same. That same quote and analogy that uncused. It still aligns regardless of how much you make based on your partner. Ask your partner and tell her to be truthful if you lost the opportunity to provide, if she'll still be there. Ask your partner if you being able to make things convenient and the opportunity, dealing with you didn't presented. This didn't present itself in. In a good manner, if she would still be there and tell her to be honest with you. And you know, a lot of women will say, oh, I don't deal with nobody for no money. It ain't it ain't about that. Like, come on now, let's stop. And the funny thing about it is you're always paying for who you're dealing with. And the only thing, this is the only thing. Chad, I want you to do me a small favor. Go to my Twitter and read my bio. Now, there's a joke at the beginning, but I tell the truth towards the end. And I'm going to just leave it. Just go to my Twitter and read my bio and the truth is sitting right there. No matter what they try to tell you. That's what it all comes down to, no matter what they say.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but I just think the thing is, look, 100 million dollar contract, I think everybody understands a hundred million. Nobody's getting all 100 million of that. You've got to pay, you got to pay federal income tax. I don't give a damn what state you live in, you've got to pay federal income tax. And you have something called a jock tax. If you're a professional athlete and you go to certain states, you got to pay for the money that you earn there. If you go to certain states and you work, you have to pay money that you earn in that state. So I think everybody is, nobody is under the assumption anymore that when they see 100 million, somebody actually got 100 million. But to get 60, to get, basically, if you, like I said, you live in a tax free state and you only gotta pay 30. 30, let's just say on the high end you're paying 37% federal income tax. That means of a million dollars, you get 637, you get 630,000. So if you bring home, if you got 60 million liquid, theoretically, Ocho, you put, you put that in a fund, you put that in a fund, you're gonna get 5 to 8%. There'll be some years, you get 10, 12%. Yeah. So even if you're just getting 5% on 60 million, that's $3 million a year, man. If you can't live off $3 million a year, you got issues. Yeah. Like Jay Z or somebody that got full time security and they got all these chefs and they got all these people. Obviously it requires more than that. But I'm saying for the average person.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like myself, Joe, you. Yeah. I mean, man, if you can't live.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Listen, I'm not average. I'm extraordinary. But I'm saying I'm cheap as hell. No, I'm the bush and I'm the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bull, but I'm Saying people like us, because the average person is not gonna be in a situation to make that kind of money. Right. I'm not talking about. Yeah, I'm talking about. Look, if you got. If you make. If you make a million dollars a year, unless you got extraordinary expenses that ship, you should be good.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get you a nice little. Get you a nice little house payment, say, you know, five. Somewhere between five and 7,500amonth.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get you a nice car. You and your wife get a nice car. She got one, you got one kid, probably. If you make that kind of money, Ocho, it's hard. You're gonna probably be sending your kids to private school. It is. It just is what it is. There are very few people that make a million dollars a year, and the kids go to public school. I'm just. I'm just being honest with you. Now. I know everybody say I send my kid. It's easy for you to say that when you're not in that situation, but most people that make that kind of money, their kids go to private school.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And what we were trying to do. We didn't say it was. We were just trying to say how people go belly up. Yeah. Because when you have kids, multiple kids, and you live in certain states and you pay 5, 10, 15, $20,000 per child, you got three kids. If you got. If you paying that kind of money for the kids, guess what else you paying for Private school? Private schools cost you somewhere between 10 and 30,000 a year. So now compound that.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you paying a hundred thousand a year?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Oh, a hundred thou.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. No, you paying a hundred thousand? Yeah. So if you pay 20, 20, 20, that's 60,000amonth times 18 years.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, plus.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Another. Plus, let's just say, oh, children. You got three kids and they go to private school, and that's another 20,000. So that's another 60,000 a year times 18. Well, they're not going to stay the same because private schools go up every year. So it might start out at 20, and by the time they get to be seniors, that's probably be 30, 35. So we're just trying to explain to people how it happens is that that's why they say, hey, get you one. If I could do it over again, I'd have all my kids from one, I'd be married. Save myself a lot of money, like a lot of attorney fees also.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

See, See, that's right. See, that's why I'm thankful. Hey, Joe, Sometimes they got to get up. See, that's what I'm do. Just this conversation in general. I'm. I'm gonna get on my knees after the show and I'm gonna thank God. I'm gonna thank God. Cause Unc just ran off them goddamn numbers, right? And that's. And you think, Joe, I got eight, Joe. I got eight, Joe. And I ain't listening. Hey, hold on. Listen to me this. Let me tell you what, Joe. Let me tell you what. I'm grateful though, Joe. Unc just ran off them numbers, right? Boy, I ain't never seen. I never had to do nothing like that, Joe, you know?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, your kids went to private schools. None of that.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Nah, nah, nah, nah, Joe, Joe. My kids needed.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's a different time now though, Ocho.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah. Yeah. My kid needed character.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Different time. Yeah. Even, even, even, even now, Ocho, what you was paying, you'd probably have to double that even. Just because the cost of living is higher. You're talking about. You're talking about 15, 18, 20 years ago. So you know what the cost is right now.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So obviously the cost of living is going up. So is the cost of raising a child is going.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, hey, Joe. Hey. Some of them numbers Unc was ripping off too, you know, them people, them. The type of people, you know, having kids by certain people, it ain't really about the child in the first place.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Whether they'll be. That's what.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Come on now. Come on now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Can you. Can you imagine having to pay for a child 50,000amonth? A hundred thousand a month.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Two years old. What the hell what we doing, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Boy, the fact that they, that they grant that to some people. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Because it's based off.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It'S mind boggling. I'm like, man, how. How somebody need 30, 40, 50k a month for a child, bro? I know a guy that was paying in the early 2000s, was playing 14,000amonth. I know. Yeah. I know a few cats who paying more than that a month. I know, dude. Playing 17,000amonth, 22,000amonth. I'm like, man, 168, 000 a year is. Is where you file it too, though. You know where they had them kids at. Now there are some states that the mat is capped. You could only get X amount. You might only get 3, 500. You only get 5,000. Right. And then some states, they base it on how much the father makes.

[IBM/Tech Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I'm saying. And they make you responsible for the private tuition because they say if the child, the child should be Afforded a life that if the child was with you, that the child wouldn't enjoy without you.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Now, I ain't telling what somebody told me. I'm telling you now. See, y' all can talk about a whole lot. Don't know what he talking about. Yeah. Bull jive.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They can help you choose the coverage you need before anything happens. And they're ready to help you file a claim when it does.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, you ain't gonna believe this. Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson's father was in a fist fight with his other son in the parking lot after today's loss in Dublin, Ireland. Ocho, take a look at this.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Who was fighting?

[Shannon Sharpe]

The quarterback's dad and his brother. So the quarterback for K State, that's his dad and his brother. So that's his son that's fighting the dad.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

What in the world going on? What they. Alcohol in the system. Hey, I would love the backstory on this too. I would love it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no backstory.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Who won the game?

[Shannon Sharpe]

K State lost. Okay, I. I don't look to be in a situation that you fight your dad. You got no respect for your dad. I can see if. I can see if it's a family situation where the mom is involved and he shove it. I get all that, Ocho. But in a situation like this, at a ball game and it's out in.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Public and you know, you gotta think about other dynamics too and other elements that can cause stuff like this. Drinking alcohol, having fun again, Emotions are high, you lose the game. Some things might be said in exchange and. And stuff like that happens now when we talk about family incidents and we talk about fights and stuff like this, you know, stuff like this happens, especially, especially not in, in our culture in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

General, you know, and that's what's, that's what's so sad.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

But to see it happen and be in. Displayed in public like that, it's very unfortunate. Very, very, very ojo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me tell you something. Let me tell you how alcohol work. You won't do anything intoxicated. You hadn't at least thought about sober because your mind won't allow you to go there. You see, people's people. Hey, they stole a bull, they stole an 18 wheeler, or they stole a bulldozer, or they did something reckless. But you thought about that while you were sober. Alcohol broke down the inhibitions and gave you the courage, that's what they call it, liquid courage, to go do what you did. I don't care how drunk I got. I ain't f to fight my brother. I ain't f to fight my parents.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

And it's so funny, you see videos like this all the time, Monk. Innocent parents fighting each other, whether it be sisters, whether hell. And I. I don't mean to bring up stories. I don't. I don't mean to bring up stories, but obviously, you know, the story of my mom, you know, Ms. Hurricane Paula. And I remember getting a phone call from my little brother one time, man, you need to come home, man. What you mean, come home? I can't come home, boy, is football season.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You know, I'm. I'm locked in. Well, Mommy done jumped on grandmama. They, they out there in the grass. They out there in the grass and they tough. I'm like, man, boy, go out there and stop it. What are you calling me for? I'm all the way in Cincinnati. There's nothing I can do. I make a phone call once I get, once I get out of, you know, I'm like, come on, Chaucee. So, I mean, that's why I kind of understand it. I get it. Because I've been in the situation before, wasn't present for it, but after hearing my grandma's side of the story, hearing my mama's side of the story, like, come on, y'. All, now you, you need to stop drinking, Grandma, you need to stop talking to her like that. It. But it happens. It happens.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know, they talk about, man, you won't have good luck hitting on old people. You right, you won't have good luck if I'm the old person. You won't have no good. You Absolutely right. You are absolutely right.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Put them hands on them all, Dan. That's sad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I've have a. I have a relationship with my kids that I've explained to them. Our dynamic won't ever change. No matter how wealthy you become, no matter how poor I become, I'm your father. You'll always be my child. So we're going to keep this dynamic the way it is. I might be in a situation where I can't do for myself, and you will have. Now all of a sudden, you will have to be the parent in the room, but I'm still the parent. I've explained that to my kids. My kids understand that.

[Freddie Prinze Jr.]

And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And when things got to a point where, you know, hey, let's just. Hey, let's just take some time. Hey, we'll reconvene in a couple of days. We'll reconvene in a week. I don't need you to say something you regret. I don't want to say something I regret. Ain't nobody going to put their hands on nobody because everybody grown here. Even when my kids weren't going, they got to a certain age, I was like, look, y' all know right from wrong. I'm not going to discipline you like by put by, you know, putting my hands on you, spanking you and doing all that kind of stuff. I physically, I ain't punch him up, he'll slap him or anything like that. But I say you to the age now, I feel I can talk to you. You understand? Tim Fitzgerald. Powercast has confirmed there was a post game confrontation at Aviva Stadium involving Mark Johnson, father of Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson, and another man believed to be Mr. Johnson's eldest son. According to witnesses, the conflict turned physical. According to one source, no arrests were made stemming from the incident. There's reportedly a video of the disagreement and at least one eyewitness is tied to Kansas State athletics. Kansas State lost to Iowa State 24, 21 in the. Well, College Football Classic. Avery Johnson completed 21 of 30 passes, 273, two touchdowns. He also ran for a touchdown.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

But that was a good game. Did you get a chance?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he had a good.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

That was a good game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it was. But the thing is, Ocho, if you can't handle your alcohol, don't drink. This is. This is. This is. This is awful. Look. This is the starting quarterback of a D1 school. His dad and his brother are rolling, are fighting, is raining. They're in.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hold on, hold on. I hate people that act slow. Stop with the bs. Like, this is normal in our community. So now we sitting here acting like this don't ha. I'll tell you about. I take.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, we're not saying that it doesn't happen. But you have to also understand, just because it happens doesn't make it right.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Someone saying, stop acting like it's not normal. I mean, what. What rock?

[Shannon Sharpe]

It ain't.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

What rock. What rock are we living under when we see it every single day? Every single day, we see families. Families. It's. It's us all the time. How many more examples? We need something like, it's not normal. It is normal. I've been seeing it all my life. I hate when people say dumb shit. Not you. I'm not talking about you. I'm just running in the chat, like, what are you talking about? God damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It Just. It's just tough to see because we got. We got enough without us fighting ourselves. We got enough to fight a big.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Battle, a bigger battle outside.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We got enough. We got enough issues that don't involve us. I've been. I've been stopped arguing with people of my complexion.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Act like they live under a rock, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'll let y' all have it. Y'. All. You know, this is how y' all feel. Y' all say, okay, cool. I'm good. I move on. I think I just have more pressing things going on than to argue with someone that looks like me, that even though they didn't come from a familiar background like mine, it's not even worth it anymore. Ocho.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

No, I'm. I'm just saying. In general. I'm just saying.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I know what you're saying. I know exactly.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm not saying it's right. But to sit here and act like it doesn't happen is not prevalent in our culture, and try to sit here, act like you part of the goddamn royal family, like, that's not true. Like, what are you talking about? What are we talking?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Talk about it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho doesn't come as a surprise because I told you this was going to happen. The Tennessee Titans sideline reporter Will Bowling has been removed from the team's charter flights. Going forward, Bowling shared something that he witnessed on the plane ride of a trip home from Cleveland after week 14. Bowling addressed the situation during his daily radio show and apologized for relaying the story and that has now understands he should have been considered off the record yes. Everything that you. If they're not, if they're not speaking directly to you, it's off the record.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't get to go. You don't get to go on the team playing. Do you know how many reporters have seen things on the team fight plane? Well, who's late? Or who's. Maybe there's been a fight. Maybe there have been some, some, some, some things that shouldn't have been going on because back then we used to have them little portable DVDs and guys be watching things they should be watching.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, guys be drinking and things of that nature. You keep your mouth shut.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He got to learn the hard way. Now you got to fly. Find your. All the way to the city and guys going to be like, man, we can't trust old boy. Oh boy, go. They're going to be like, yeah, hey.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Listen, they, for one, you give an opportunity to, to, to, to have access, to be around to, to be on those charter flights and you can't just take everything you see and try to use it, to use it to your advantage and, and you. And make it a story. Now, now you, now you outside. No, outside the window looking, peeking through the blinds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Now I'm not even sure whether he. I mean, for years going forward, were they probably. Were they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Were they probably not. He probably won't be allowed on. He probably will not be allowed back on the plane.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Now you, now you done messed up. You done messed up. You done messed up. A good opportunity just to have a story.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Everything. Oh, so I'll give you a prime example. I remember Peyton Manning's first year was his first year. Yeah. First year in Denver.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We're doing a story and I watch him practice.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He hadn't had this all year. He's throwing with a glove.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah. Oh, it was cold, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But remember, he had that nerve damage, but prior to that he had been throwing bare handed.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I see him, he's practicing with a glove. I see all these gloves in his locker. It would have been nothing for me to take a pair. He got 20 of them in his locker, right. Put them in my bag and says, guys, this is what Peyton Manning is going to be throwing the football with today. It's been a great story. Shannon breaks news. Peyton Manning, and sure enough, he comes out there throwing like, oh, but nah, bro, everything ain't meant. Ain't meant to be said. Yeah, yeah, everything. Plus that is my team and they trust me. I got free reign, Ocho. I go anywhere I want to I know the code. I punch the code. Hey, they don't let me in. I punch the code and go in.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right, right, right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I go where I want to go. I go upstairs. I go to Mr. Nolan's office. I go walking around. I'm in. Coaches. I go to John Fox. I go to John. I go everywhere I see.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

So. So we the same. The. With the access you have in. In. In. In Denver is the same way I am down there in Cincinnati.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

And the funny thing about it, you know, I think why we have that access the way you do, and. And. And for me, it's always. Arms are always open and welcome because I don't take advantage of it. Huh? I only go there maybe twice a year. Maybe twice a year, you know, that's it. And I think if. Think. I think if knowing the access that I do have and the love that they do show in that stadium, where I can go from top to bottom and I can go anywhere I want anywhere, if I did it all the goddamn time, they'd be like, all right, now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you abusing.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Come on, now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me take that back on you. I used to be able to do that. I ain't got that. I don't have that access anymore now.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Oh, no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know. I don't go back. They invite me back for alumni things and the Bron. You know, the super bowl teams and stuff like that. When guys get going to the Ring of. Go to the Ring of honor. I haven't been back. I have a great relationship. I met the Waltons. I met the Pinners. I met all of them. They were great to me.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Had a great conversation. But I don't know them like I knew Mr. Boland. I would like to get to know them, you know, maybe I take some time and I go back and. And, you know, sit down and have a conversation with them.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I'm like you, Ocho. I'm never gonna wear out my welcome. Even though I had the access that I had, I didn't go back and take advantage of it, you know? Yeah, I would go back when they invited me, but when it came time for the super bowl, you damn best believe. Hey. Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You was there. Yeah. So, hey, listen. Hey, you know, I'm excited. You know, I'm excited. So, obviously, most of the time, I was doing one a year. Well, since. Since I retired. One game a year. I always made it. Made it out to one game a year. This will be the first year since I retired. And what was that? I Mean, since they left there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Since I left where?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm going to a second game, right? I'm going to a second game. Obviously, I'm not counting the Ravens game. I'm not counting the Ravens game, you know, Thursday night on Thanksgiving, right? But this Sunday, I'm going back. I'm going back for the Ravens game. And I mean, it's just. Just what? What? The warmth and the welcome and the grace that they've shown me when I am no longer any value to you. I'm no longer any value to you. And they still treat me, whether it be the fans, whether it be ownership, Zach Taylor, whether it be the players with open arms. It's like. And the fact that they still treat you like that when you're no longer of any value. I'm not on the payroll, right? I'm not on the payroll. I've been waiting there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the fans appreciate that. Fans. Fans. Know who. Guys that really cared, that played their ass off, that gave everything they possibly had, left nothing on the field. And when they left, they're like, you know what? We got everything Shannon Sharp had. We ain't never had to worry about 84. Cause we know 84 was gonna give it to us.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It became difficult oo because I work. I worked at. I worked at CBS for a decade for. So how am I gonna get. I'm in New York. How am I gonna get back? They. I went back when they put me into the Ring of fame in 2009. I went back again in 2011 when they put me. I got my. Received my ring for the hall of Fame, but I didn't. It was hard for me to get back because I'm working. I can't. Hey, you know what? You know, the Broncos really wanted me to come back. Now I can't miss work like that. And then I started working at Fox for Undisputed for seven years. And it was hard. And I went back. I think I went back once. But it's really hard ojo to go back when I gotta watch all these games and I'm at one game and even though, you know, they got it on, you know, Mr. B. Like, oh, you know, Shannon Sharpie, what game you wanna watch? And I was like, don't Worry about it, Mr. B. So it's really hard. I can't. It's hard for me to talk about something ocho. If I don't see it right, I need to see it so I can tell you the intricacies of what actually Happened the design of the play to make up the defense and X, Y and Z. So that's a real. That's really the main reason I don't really attend events when other events are going on because I need to be able to tell you what actually happened.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

And speaking of being able to tell you what actually is going to happen, I'm telling you, your Ravens gonna lose again.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ah, there you go.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm just. I'm just saying every game I'm in attendance to. You do understand I went to the Thursday night game, Joe Burrow's first game back. You see what happened? You see what happened, right? And this. I got another. I got your Raven. I got you. I got your boy. You know, you Ravens fan. I got butter. I'm not sure if you've seen some of the clips that, that butter makes some time. I haven't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I haven't seen it.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Listen, butter stay way in Seattle. I didn't got butter a ticket. Right. Yeah, I didn't got butter ticket. I'm talking about. He a huge Ravens fan. He fly in tomorrow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

He flying. Yeah, he flying to Cincinnati tomorrow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tomorrow.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm gonna meet him out there Friday evening and I'm. Allow him to see greatness in person.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I want him. I want him to see greatness in person. I want, I want him to be able to. I want him to be. Because he. He streams and increase content. I want his content to be authentic and organic.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I want.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right there. I want, I want him right there front and center, you know, watching the Ravens lose, you know, and, and I want him to cry. I want, I want him to cry so we can see. I don't, you know, you know one thing about it. It's very hard for me to talk about people. It's very difficult for me. I can be. I can be critical.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Critique players. But I want to see 77 person. I want to see 77 in person and to see why Lamar is going to be frustrated, why he's going to get sacked, why he's going to be running for his life. And the Bengals are coming away with another win and one step closer to winning the AFC North. That hasn't gone in our favor all season long.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but for this gentleman, Ocho, I. I don't know. He's gotta be young because no veteran reporter would ever do something like this.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You think, you think he's young?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's gotta be young. I mean, I'm not saying he's. I'm not maybe in age wise, but it'd be interesting to know how long he's been in this capacity doing this job. That's understood. Oh, so we got. We got women on the plane. I mean, we used to have women reporters. Linda Bruin, rest her soul. Lynn was great. She was great. She would always come to me. I was like, lynn, do you not have. She's like, michelle, you gonna give it to me straight? I know, but somebody else might give it to you straight, too. You don't want to get it from them. But she was. She was always. She was always great, and we were always respectful, and I made sure guys were respect. Respectful of her, especially women. Sage Steele, her first job was with the rape, you know, as a reporter. Was with the race.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right, okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And all that. That, you know, stuff that, you know, she. Obviously, she's attractive. No, but we're not gonna do that. That lady finna do her job, and we're gonna allow her to do her job, and we're going to be professional. Yeah, that's what we gonna do. She'll tell you. Ask her. She'll tell you. No, we're gonna be professional. We. We. That's not the way we do things.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But on the plane, Ocho, you like, look, we did. We gamble. We played card for money. And then, you know, obviously they got to go to the bathroom. Ocho. They couldn't go to first class because that's where the coaches were, so they had to come by. We move out the way, and Mike Just say, 84. Can we not gamble on the plane? You know, hey, y', all, get to the room. Have at it. You play your car, you know, play cards, roll your dice. But can we not. Okay, done. Now, the only thing that I really got. I don't really get mad at mad. Animals get mad. Humans get upset. I don't really get upset because Mike was like. Mike was like, obviously, he let the vets handle the stuff, and we did a great job. I think the committee, the commute. The committee that was in charge. I thought we did a very good job of dealing with stuff before it got big enough that Mike would have to intervene.

[Freddie Prinze Jr.]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mike said it was brought to his attention. And I know who told him. The flight attendants did. Oh, so you Remember the portable DV chat? I know y' all remember the portable DVDs.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah, the big. It was kind of big. A little bit. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They were still a little thick at the bottom. Yeah, yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

And they flip up. Yeah, yeah. Hey, what y' all were watching? What y' all were watching?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They know Y', all, first of all, I had one, but, man, y' all know my personality. I'm gonna be joaning on the plane. I'm gonna be talking about what you wore, what you wore on the play and how that's good and terrible, and I'm gonna tear your ass up once we get on the second team. But so you make sure you get. Nah, nah, man. Everybody want to go on bus one. If they got on some bull jive, they want to go on bus one. Because that's the bus Mike on.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

You know, and don't. And don't know what you talking about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But guess who know what I'm talking about? The people that I'm talking about.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's who know what I'm talking about. All right. There's this narrative. Narrative that the Bingos are one of the cheapest teams in the NFL. Joe, I don't know if you notice.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. That narrative should be gone. Have you seen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, after we read this, I'm gonna let you know, chat. I will let the chat chime in and what y' all think? Boomer assassin. I worked with Boone for 10 years, a decade at CBS. Called the Bengals out for making their legends pay for their own flight, hotel, and extra tickets to a Ring of Fame, a Ring of Honor game. Boomer, one of the most decorated quarterbacks in Bengals history. He's one of two Bengals players to ever win the MVP award. And he took team to Subo. So Ken Anderson won the award. Boomer won the award. Ken took him to the Super Bowl. Boomer took him to the Super Bowl. So did Joe. Boomer also has a game in which he's thrown for over 500 yards. He's also in the Ring of Honor the team is offering for him to attend the event, the Bringles Ring of Honor, in late October to honor Dave Laughlin and Lamar. Lamar.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Lamar Parish.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Parish. Okay. Lamar Parrish as part of the class of 2025.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah. Who they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lapham and Parrish will bring the total number to 12 as part of the invite. Joe, check this out. Assassin gets two complimentary game tickets to sit in the stands, plus the option to buy another ticket. But rather than pay for Assassin's travel and lodging like most teams would do, the team said that they're paying for a block of rooms at the Renaissance Hotel in Cincinnati and that Esiason could stay there for a preferred discounted rate. Assassin had to RSVP by Friday in order to guarantee his seat for the game. He later added that he believed he was expected to pay for his flight as well. Now, I don't know how anybody. I don't listen. I can only speak. Joe. I played for two teams. I played for the Ravens. I played for the Broncos. Anytime. Anytime they have something alumni weekend, they have somebody being honored. Somebody's going into the Ring of Fame. Somebody's getting their hall of Fame ring. They will bring the alumni back, pay for them to come back, put them up at no cost. They will have sweeps so the players can go in there and have a good time. But not the Bengals. The Bengals say, nah, y' all get out there with the rest of the fans, sit in the stand with the.

[Lenovo Advertiser]

Rest of the family.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

[Shannon Sharpe]

The.

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

The alumni that come back for the Ring of Honor sit in the suites. They don't sit in the. They don't sit in the street.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So why would. So why. Why would they say so?

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

I'm telling. I didn't. I didn't been. I didn't been to. All that month. We sit in the streets. I don't know. I don't know what Boomer talking about. I went. I went into the. The ring. The Ring of Honor with Boomer. Those that are part of the Ring of Honor alumni have been back once already. You sit in the suites, you don't sit in the stands.

[Grainger Advertiser]

[Cincinnati Sports Analyst (likely a former player or local commentator)]

Now, as far as room and board goes, I. I'm not. I'm not sure how that works. I always stay at the AC Hotel. Right.

No, no, no, no, no, no. At the time, you were not with your baby upstairs. So when you go back for function for the Cincinnati Bengals, are you paying for it out of your pocket or are they complying everything they should be comping? Man, that's what I said, Joe. Let me finish this, Joe. Chad, you see what he did? He went all around there. He did all that hucking and bucket. All of the. Find out that the bingo don't pay for each.
