Hello ladies and gentlemen and thank you for joining us for another episode of Nightcap as you watch the number four Alabama Crimson Tide take down their rival unranked LSU Tigers by the score of 20 to 9. It wasn't the dominant performance that I think a lot of people thought they would get, but this is a rivalry game. LSU do have supreme talent. Obviously they fired their coach Brian Kelly earlier this year, but I thought they played hard Ocho and they gave put up a valued effort. They did. They played really, really well Alabama Todd Simpson was off tonight. This is probably the worst game as far as the way he threw the ball. Yes, he was just a little bit too long or just a little bit too short. They could have put this game away earlier if they had, if they completed some of those passes. But I want to give LSU some credit for coming into Bryant Denny and playing extremely well tonight. Nussmeier was bench late in the ball game. Van Buren Jr. Came in, moved it, but he had a costly form at the end of the game. It didn't give them an opportunity late in the ball game. But y' all know who I am. I'm your favorite uncle, Shannon Sharp and that is my partner and co host. That's Liberty City's own that's Bingo Ring of Fame honoree, a former Pro Bowler and an all probably that's Chad Ochocinko Johnson. We hope Johnny's going to be joining us, joining us in a few minutes. We thought the game would go a little longer and so we mistimed it. So he will be joining us a little later.

We've got John like as I said, Johnny Manziel would join us shortly and then Akeem Mezador, the outstanding defensive lineman from the University of Miami will join us in the second hour. But Ocho, this game we just Watched Alabama beats LSU by the score of 20 to 9. Ryan Williams caught his third touchdown of the season. That was, was that the only score? Now this they kicked two field goals and they, and they scored another touchdown, I think. Didn't rush a touchdown or we just field goals. There was one touchdown pass and a touchdown rush. Yeah. So there were two touchdowns and two field goals. That was the difference in the. Alabama's defense did an outstanding job holding LSU to nine points even though they were in the red zone like four or five times. Yeah, yeah. And so give those guys credit, give Alabama defense credit. They played really, really well tonight. Got some big time sacks, big time talking for losses. But what did you like about Alabama? This is a rivalry game. I understand the LSU is not ranked and normally we see lsu, especially when they play Alabama, they rise to the occasion like they normally do. You look at those guys, they got a lot of guys in the NFL. They got Joe Burrow, they got Chase, they got Jetta, they can, you know, they got some db, wide receivers and db. So this is a very talented college program that put elite players into the NFL right now. They just, they just didn't have enough to get over that hump tonight. I thought Alabama defense, they played extremely well. You hold that team to nine points, they bend but they didn't break. And when they need to come up with big plays, they came up with big plays but don't show. Now they got a big game, a big test. Yes, big, big test next week with Oklahoma coming to town. And we know Oklahoma likes to bring pressure, but watching this game, what did you like about what you saw from Alabama?
Chad Johnson
Listen, Alabama played extremely well. Obviously to me it was a little, it wasn't as a dominant performance like we're used to seeing Alabama play. Obviously it's not the same Alabama used to be. When Saban was there, it was sort of a snooze fest in a sense when no one was able to score, you know, in the first half it was going back and forth obviously both teams having to feel each other out similar to a boxing match. But then once, once things, once it opened up Alabama, Alabama ran the show. I mean for a team like LSU to only score nine points, only score nine points in a four credit game. Let you know why Mr. Kelly was fired. It let you know why Mr. Kelly was fighting the word in, in the famous words of my good friend Cam Newton, you know, you think you can't take donkeys to a Kentucky Derby and that, that, that's what it looked like when we watched them earlier today. Who is that?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, they, they look. Oh, and I think I read something where Brian Kelly said he just didn't get the job done. Well, you put a lot of pressure on yourself because you said you wanted to go to LSU because you wanted to compete for a national championship.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
You felt at Notre Dame you didn't have the horses to run that type of race. Now my Freeman have come in and show you actually do have those type of horses to run that race. And it's like, it's not like you're in a conference, you're not in the sec, you're not in the Big Ten, you're not even in the conference. So all you got to do is as long as you don't lose more than two games, you're probably going to be right there with 12 teams with the 12 team tournament. With that being said, Ocho, look, they got to get somebody in there. You're going to probably need to get a name because considering the name, considering what's in the sec, that's not that, that's not a. There are no easy victories because you got Vanderbilt kicking on your door now. You got Texas A and M, you got Oklahoma, you got Texas now you always had Alabama, Georgia. Yeah. Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin. Tennessee ain't no easy victory. There are no easy victories right now. Maybe Mississippi State, but even Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt used to be everybody's homecoming.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Vanderbilt opened up first game of the season. Yeah. Homecoming for somebody.
Chad Johnson
Not no more.
Shannon Sharpe
No longer the case.
Chad Johnson
No longer.
Shannon Sharpe
So they're probably. LSU is probably looking to get a name. But they, they get talent, Ocho. They got. And it's a Death Valley be rocking.
Chad Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
The alumni seem to be very supportive. You see the guys come back and hang out. Shaq's always on the sideline. They got dominant baseball program, the women's basketball program, the track and field program, obviously football. So they got. And you can recruit that area. Just keep this recruit, keep getting those guys from. You can't let those guys from Louisiana get out of there. Yeah, but you got to go, go go to Alabama and Florida and Texas and Georgia and get a couple of guys. But they, I think they're going to probably look for a name.
Chad Johnson
I'm glad you said that. Not only do they have to look for a name, a name is not going to do it alone. You know, obviously with that name there has, there has to be some type of, some type of attraction to want to actually come to and lsu. It has to be someone that, that, that the players and the parents of those players have a sense of comfortability with. You know what? This is, this is a good coach. This is a good School, a good program where my son can go to and play and not and learn from someone who actually played the game before and can help them achieve not just being a better player, but a better man as well in achieving the. In achieving their childhood dream of making it to the next level. And when you talk about great names, I think LSU gets great players. I think they get great players like, like you did say. But I don't think they get enough. They don't get enough because if they got enough, then Mr. Kelly wouldn't be fired. Because most of the time coaching can only do so much coaching can only do so much if you don't have the pieces to compete out there week to week, especially when you play the better teams. Especially the better teams. And you saw that, you saw the example of that tonight.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho.
Chad Johnson
Yes, sir.
Shannon Sharpe
That man had Jaden Daniels, he had Malik Neighbors, he had Brian Thomas Jr. And didn't compete for the SEC title.
Chad Johnson
Okay, what do you mean, Thom, Wait a minute. You heard what you just said. You, you just, you just named a few names. But you have to understand, the team that they played that actually were able to beat them when they weren't able to compete for those titles were just as good. And they just, they had, they had names just as well that are actually in NFL. None that I could name right now off the top of my head. But what I'm, what I'm saying is the team that they lost to, they had those exact same names.
Shannon Sharpe
Go ahead.
Chad Johnson
No, I was saying they had other players at impact positions that made a difference in those games. Jane Daniels was a huge difference. He was great. He was phenomenal.
Shannon Sharpe
Heisman Trophy winner.
Chad Johnson
Yes.
Shannon Sharpe
You get two tight ends that go in the first. You get two tight. You get your quarterbacks number two overall. He win the Heisman. You get two wide receivers that go in the first round. Thomas Jr. And Malik neighbors.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
You had a tight end in Mason Taylor, who called it, who caught the game winning touchdown against your Bengals. A high draft pick. They had talent. Oh, yeah. But I just think the thing is, what his words is the way he coached, the way he talked to people. He's very condescending. He's very, you know. What are you doing? What? Look at me when I talk to you. Come on, man.
Chad Johnson
Oh.
Colin Coward
Oh.
Chad Johnson
He old school.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to be careful how you talk. Look, I understand, but Coach Saban getting. Coach Saban got on his guys more when they won than he did when they lost. And he know he's. He ain't you know, he walking down the sidelines. But I just think the guy watching lsu and I've seen LSU play a lot this year, LSU played harder tonight than I think they played at any point in time this year. Now, I understand they didn't win, but when I watched them tonight, they really, really play hard. I, I never thought Nussm was, was, was a top quarterback. I don't know what everybody sees in him. OO I don't see that.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
But I think. And they just made too many penalty ocho. They had like that left tackle from false starts to hold into. He just like was killing them.
Chad Johnson
Yeah. See, something's wrong with him and I, I, I'm gonna, I wanna go back real quick. When we talk about names, we talk about names and, and people again. That's another example. You, you, you, you set yourself up for that one. That's another example of you put your name in a hat and wanting to be that coach of lsu.
Shannon Sharpe
No, I don't want to be that.
Chad Johnson
I'm just saying, I'm just throwing it out. I'm throwing that tidbit out there. When you talk about names that can attract players to a program, that can change the trajectory of it where it is right now. And that, that's something that you could do. But go ahead. Lsu. This, tonight's game. Alabama, lsu. It was somewhat like a Broncos Chiefs game.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Or Ravens. Ravens. Baltimore. I mean, Ravens, Bengals, Pittsburgh. It's like a goddamn. Yeah, it's like, it's like a division opponent. Someone you know very well, you're familiar with their tendencies and what they like to do. Therefore, it's going to be close. But because of, because the inflicted wounds in which LSU had a lot of the game got out of hand.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it, it was, it was still close until the very end. Yeah, until that. You know, the guy docked the ball out of his hands. Sometimes I, I just don't get to play calling with Alabama. I mean, a guy comes in there fresh off the bench and you rush three. I want a guy that, that, that don't have any time. I'm not, I'm gonna make him make a decision right now. OO I'm not gonna get him. Let him get his rhythm. Come get him, Come get him. I understand you don't play, you don't prepare for the backup because there was no indication that that nut mile there's anything wrong with him. And obviously that could throw you off. But you got tape on him. I'm sure you, you recruited a guy you know his capabilities. But I'm not letting, I'm not letting the guy just fresh off the bench get his. I'm not rushing three against a guy that's fresh off the bench. I'm going to come heat him up. I'm gonna light his ass up.
Chad Johnson
Absolutely. Make him pro. Make him, make him process everything a little faster. Don't let him, yeah, don't let him be comfortable.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, Ryan Williams and I text you tonight. Oh, something's going on. Yeah, something going on. Ocho. If you think, if you really look at Ocho, he's really only playing third downs. Harden and Bernard gets the lion's share of the work.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So Ocho, for a guy to play that well in his freshman season and I get. He's only 18 years of age.
Johnny
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho, it, it ain't computing.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, it's something. I'm not sure what it is. I, I would love to converse with young Bull and, and see what the issue is because to, to, to have a regression in what we saw as, you know, as a freshman. As a freshman and outstanding to where you were easily the second best receiver in collegiate football across the board. Left high school early. You might you young, but you on that stage, you showed out every effing week. And I'm not sure what happened this young. I'm, I, I have no idea. I don't know if the nil.
Shannon Sharpe
Three touchdowns in nine games.
Chad Johnson
Ooh, he was scoring three. I mean, he had, we remember it.
Shannon Sharpe
We remember what he was last year. Now he's had a propensity to drop a few passes, especially late as the season waned on last year, he had a few more drops than he did early on. But like the first five games of the season, there are questions like who's better, Jeremiah Smith or Ryan Williams? Who's better? Because he was putting up those type of numbers. And obviously, you know, Jeremiah Smith has been sensational. Not only his freshman year, he's picked right up where he left off and he's even been beat even better this year round. He's going to win the ballet in the cop award, and rightfully so. But I, I, I don't and, and, and Chad, I get it. He called a touchdown. But do y' all realize. How, do y' all realize what you saw last year with your own eyes and you're happy that a guy, another year under his belt in this same system in three game, in nine games, only has three touchdowns?
Chad Johnson
Yeah, I, it, I, I, that's, it's hard to pinpoint I'm just being honest. I think I'm. It's hard to pinpoint, especially with him not getting the amount of plays he got last year, the fact that he's not being an impact player the way he was last year. I think maybe the drops have gotten to him. Obviously, when you. When that. When you're that young, you're making those kind of plays, especially like you made last year. Once you lose that confidence, it's extremely, extremely hard to get it back. Hey, Johnny, you coming from a bar mitzvah wedding?
Shannon Sharpe
A damn early Christmas party or something?
Johnny
It's wedding season.
Chad Johnson
I like it, I like it, I like it.
Johnny
Wedding season.
Shannon Sharpe
Yours?
Johnny
No biggie. Not. Hell no.
Chad Johnson
Hey, congratulations, Johnny. You got married.
Johnny
Man. My Scottsdale boys out in.
Chad Johnson
Okay, okay, okay.
Johnny
When you're a neck of the woods, bring that smart car over. Come on.
Shannon Sharpe
What's up, Johnny? This. This. Alabama won by the score of 20 to 9. Ty Simpson did not have his best. His most accurate day. He had some opportunities for some big plays. He was a little long on some, a little short on others. He just seemed a little off. He didn't play bad. He didn't play to the Ty Simpson level that we're used to seeing him play. It. I thought LSU played really well, considering what they've gone through. A coaching change, you know, interim coach in there. Sometimes you get interim. They play hard. Sometimes they just fall completely apart and get blown out. But this is a rivalry game. Alabama, lsu. And it's normally some of the top athletes that's in the country or. And in the sec in this. In this ball game. I don't know if you saw any of them, but what. What do you think about 29, Alabama beats LSU?
Johnny
I think what we're seeing in the SEC right now, what we saw the rest of the day from other teams. We got a M. We got Alabama. We're gonna meet in Atlanta. That's the way I see it right now. Alabama, good squad. I. I think they get through the rest of their schedule unfazed.
Shannon Sharpe
They got. They got Oklahoma next week. They got Oklahoma and they got another. And then they got.
Johnny
There ain't no way Oklahoma's playing with Bama this next weekend. You want a lock of the week before we even start or get to.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no.
Johnny
Stop it. Bama is not going down to OU next week, no matter what.
Chad Johnson
Wait, wait, Johnny. So. So. So what are you saying? If I was the bed man. So. So. If I wanted to put the house. If I want to put the house. I wanted to put my pink slips on the team to win next year. I mean next week. Are you saying that Oklahoma doesn't have a chance against Alabama?
Johnny
Bama Money Line Ocho, you got a pod.
Chad Johnson
A who?
Shannon Sharpe
A pod. Cause you didn't put your furniture in there because your house gonna be gone. Don't you listen to Johnny. Don't you, don't you listen to Johnny talking about that's a lock of the week.
Chad Johnson
Wait, hold on. So you, you think Oklahoma had the chance of going in? I mean.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Cut the defense. Okay, good defense. Brent Venables is a pressure guy. Johnny, you know this.
Johnny
Brent B is a pressure. Have a chance next weekend versus Texas.
Shannon Sharpe
A and M. No, no.
Chad Johnson
Hell no.
Johnny
That's the same we're talking about.
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no, no. Hell no. OU is much better. OU is much better than South Carolina.
Johnny
I was gonna see if you catch that. I'm just testing you tonight.
Shannon Sharpe
But let's, let's talk about.

Got your team to take CNM the Aggies beat Missouri 3817. The number three Aggies 9 and 0 for the first time since 1992 and just for the fifth time in school history, Texas A and M is the only team in the country with three road wins over AP ranked teams including a win over number 10 now notre dame in South Bend. Johnny, you had to be impressed with what you saw today. Marcel Reed was sensational.
Johnny
I got to see maybe 10, 12 drives of the game today. Started out really early. Missouri A&M tried to run the ball and force their will a little bit, and it was stymied there. The first drive of the game came out, started slow, a little rough. Man, when you get that A M team, that A M offense, running and giving them some space, letting their guys and their playmakers do what they need to do, you start to see some deadly weapons. You start to see some guys who, you know, you saw early in the game, they're starting to hold as they're running these routes and these deep digs and stuff. Like, they. They know because of film what this Texas A and M team is now. Can Marcel come out and throw a dot every single time? He's gonna have his misses here and there. But this A M team right there, ain't no layoff. All I kept hearing out in the streets this week on. You know what I kept hearing?
Shannon Sharpe
What?
Johnny
Upset alert. Yeah, upset alert. Upset alert. This. That. I'm like, you guys got it so up. Excuse my language. The most. Texas A M, this is a real football team. This is a good football team. This ain't even me being a homer. If you look at the facts of what it is. Black and white.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Johnny
Team is good from top to bottom. Special teams well coached, everything you want. But as you're gonna say, so is Ohio State. Couldn't agree with you more. Guess what? So is Indiana. Couldn't agree with you more. There's three teams that are very, very, very solid and a couple more that are trailing behind, trying to piece it up.
Shannon Sharpe
And undefeated.
Johnny
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Marcel Reed was 20 of 29. 221, two touchdowns. Row in the second. Ran 13 times for 102 yards. You guys were outstanding tonight.
Johnny
I talked to him tonight.
Shannon Sharpe
Did you?
Johnny
Yeah. I was like, are we gonna wear matching suits when we go to New York, or are we just going to keep it casual and Aggie. And show love to the family? Because I'm. I'm pulling up off the jet this December in New York to Times Square with my dog in tow. Marcel is coming, and there ain't no way he does it.
Chad Johnson
Hold on.
Colin Coward
You.
Chad Johnson
You hold on. You say he's coming, right?
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
In Times Square. Huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Huh?
Chad Johnson
What's in Times Square?
Shannon Sharpe
Times Square. Where that's at in New York?
Chad Johnson
Oh, I'm tripping.
Shannon Sharpe
What are you thinking?
Johnny
He's cutting.
Chad Johnson
I don't know. I heard jet and I Was thinking something else. But where we going?
Shannon Sharpe
You must be thinking. You. You real early. Hell, you must be thinking about New Year's Eve. I was ball drop. The only thing drop on New Year's is for me is my eyelids on my eyeballs. That's what drops.
Chad Johnson
Oh, wait, no, not this year, man.
Shannon Sharpe
What? What, what is New Year's Eve? Follow Ash. Please don't tell me a Saturday. Please don't tell me a Thursday.
Chad Johnson
Hey, you. Hey. A.
Shannon Sharpe
Hell no.
Chad Johnson
Exactly. I. I've already did a un. I've already did my homework. I scouted out the dates and the fact that you off probation. So when the ball drop. Hey, listen.
Shannon Sharpe
And. Ooh. Can I get all the way in the door? 20, 26. You got me like this here.
Chad Johnson
Oh, no, no, no. You got. You got one fit in, one fit out.
Shannon Sharpe
I know. Can I get all the way in?
Chad Johnson
No, no, no, no, no. We ain't got time for that. Listen, when that ball drop, we going back. We going back to. We got going back to old UN. Hey, I need. I need to.
Johnny
Here's the only real question. Y' all gonna come with me this year? You come to Heisman. To the Heisman this year.
Chad Johnson
Who gonna win, Marcel? Oh, you?
Shannon Sharpe
I don't know right now. After what Mendoza did, Johnny, he got to leave.
Chad Johnson
Hey, Mendoza. Over.
Johnny
I told you our last week. Our test is coming in Austin. His moment is in Austin. Yeah, when we put you in the dirt, it's in Austin. And then it's us. And it's up.
Shannon Sharpe
You. You. Huh. Your past defense was sensational. Zolas was 7 to 22 for 77 yards. Your rush defense, Johnny, you had two guys over 100 yards. One was 17 for 110, the other was 13 for 109. Both had a touchdown. So you're going to probably need to clean that up. But I. But you guys can. Hey, I don't know number nine's name off the top of my head, but what's his name?
Johnny
Cash is how.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, man, he can be in that edge, man.
Colin Coward
He's.
Johnny
He's a first round pick for sure. Wait till he goes. You let him loose. That's a real dog right there. They got on the edge. He's one of the best in the country for sure.
Shannon Sharpe
So A M, Indiana and Ohio State, I think they're the only teams that's undefeated in. In the. In the poll. Correct. So those are your top. Those are your top three teams. And A M looked really impressive tonight. Going on the road. Mizzou ranked Mizzou that tells me a lot. That and Coach Elko did a great job of having his guys prepared. No let down. When, when you guys play Texas next.
Johnny
Week or the week after November 28th?
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, Thanksgiving.
Annabe Sofas Advertiser
Oh.
Johnny
Day after Thanksgiving on Friday.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, okay. Okay. So that, oh, say yeah, so that's NF. That's A. NFL's got a game on Black Friday too. There'll be a lot, there'll be a lot to talk about with that game. But yeah, Johnny, you guys look good. Texas A and M look really, really.
Johnny
Taking care of business. As we've said what the Aggies need to do. Everybody's scared. Are we good enough? Are we this? Are we that? Just put your head down. Go play the game. Go try and win. Do your best, do what you need to do and figure it out. It's simple. It should let, let the chips fall like. But right now, the way we're playing, they're physical, man. They want to go out on Saturday afternoons and bust somebody in their mouth. Cassius, how those boys on the D line, A and M's linebacking core. That's a solid group for sure.

Fernando Mendoza authored his Heisman Trophy moment marching the Hoosiers 80 yard down the field with 115 left for a go ahead touchdown to Omar Cooper Jr. Give to give Indiana a thrilling 2724 victory on the road at Penn State is the Hoosier's first ever victory at Happy Valley. That was an unbelievable catch. That was an unbelievable throw. And he made several unbelievable throws. And guys made several unbelievable catches. Oh, Joe and Johnny, you know this. Sometimes in a game winning drive, you're gonna have to have moments, catches like that, you're gonna have to have throws like that. But that catch, that catch to elevate like he did. And the guy was trying to push him out of bounds, but he's like, nah, nah, I'm gonna get these. He didn't get one of them. He got both of them.
Johnny
This right here. Let me touch something.
Chad Johnson
Hey, hey. That was the.
Shannon Sharpe
What you got?
Chad Johnson
Hey, that was the perfect throw. It was the perfect catch. If a lot of people won't say, oh, the catch, it wasn't good. Not. It wasn't good. It was a bad throw, actually. That's the only place you can put that ball.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Chad Johnson
It only pays you. You got to put, you got to put it high defender exactly where only the receiver can get to it. The fact that the receiver had the wherewithal with the push coming from behind to be able to get his left toe, to get his left toe down and keep that right foot up just a smidge to make sure it doesn't hit out first, man, that was, that, that was, that was legendary. That's one. That's one of the better catches I've seen in college, you know, in a very, in a very, very long with, with the.
Shannon Sharpe
What's, what's at stake. Money's on the line. Yeah, go ahead, Johnny. What'd you want to say?
Johnny
Nah, but with what's at stake, though, with what's coming up, Right. Does, should it concern Indiana fans that they were in a battle like that with Penn State, a team that we know what they are. Yes. I get it. Conference games, you come out, you win them. Sure. But the showdown is versus Ohio State. You know how you have to play against them.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
Johnny
Should it concern you that Indiana is battling in dog fights with Penn State, which is in the kiddie pool?
Shannon Sharpe
Well, that's, that's the only. That's the only. That's really the only dog fight they've had. And you know, everybody has one of those. And if before Ohio State stepped on.
Johnny
The locker room, it's needed for morale, it's needed for everything throughout the season. You look back at it and you.
Shannon Sharpe
Go, that was the bullet we dodged.
Johnny
But we got the dub that happened to us against Louisiana Tech, my Heisman year, it was like did that just happen? But it did, but we won. So I understand that. That was just my question of, like, Indiana is solid. But we've seen, we've seen Penn State this year. We've talked about it on the show.
Chad Johnson
But listen, every, every, every, every dog has their day. Every squirrel gets another. Every, every blue moon. Indiana and all the games they've been in, they most. They mostly been blowouts, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
Blowing out.
Chad Johnson
Yep, Johnny. There's multiple blowouts. So it's good to get this taste and get that mouth to have a game like this where you got to bite down and you got to make the plays necessary to make sure you win the game. So they never, They've never been in this kind of situation.
Johnny
And I'm not an Indiana hater. I'm rooting for them first. Yeah, like that. To be where they are and go do what they're doing. By all means, go voice that thing.
Shannon Sharpe
Johnny, Remember last week, Ocho?
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
It took, it took late the third quarter, in the fourth quarter for Ohio State to pull away and think about some of the catches that Jeremiah Smith was making. He caught a carom. They hit two, three people with two guys around him and got to the end zone. So Penn State played really, really hard for two and a half quarters. They were on the road now at home because Indiana couldn't get separation early on. You know, Johnny Ocho, the longer a team that's the underdog can stay in the game, the harder they're gonna fight. And now you start to tighten up. Cause you like, damn, we supposed, why y' all playing so hard now? Y' all been giving up all the other times. Now y' all want to play us hard. Now we're in the third quarter and we're not up by 50 like we normally are. It's not a. A 60 to 14 ball game. And our starters are out of the ball game. Our starters are playing and we got our hands full with a team that we know aren't going anywhere.
Johnny
Listen, I can tell you in three weeks in Austin, we're going to be in a dog fight. We're going to be like. I can tell you I see A M's future. It's kind of. That's what it's going to be. We're going to have those battles. But I agree from my question to where it is now. I agree this is a good thing for Indiana. You have to have it.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I'm pull up some. Mendoza was 19 of 32, 18. One touchdown, one interceptions, 31 rushes, 100.
Johnny
But I don't know. I mean, it's a good game. It's a solid win. It's a dub. It ain't no heism moment that, that.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, Johnny. You're down, you're on the road.
Johnny
I feel it.
Shannon Sharpe
Those throws. Hey, 80 yards and a minute 15 with that throw, that catch. Hey, I'm gonna put it at the bottom of the upright. You climb the elevator, you climb the. The ladder. Go get it, son.
Johnny
I need you. I need you.
Shannon Sharpe
You need me.
Johnny
I put it up there. You go get it. You got a top shelf, but I got to put it there.
Shannon Sharpe
But here's the thing though, Johnny, he was already the favorite coming in and he hadn't had a moment. Now I'm not. You said you believe that Marcel will have his moment against Texas.
Johnny
It's coming, okay? It's coming. Or I must stand on it right now. Stand on it. Of course. I want to see a third heism be brought back to Aggie land. What? Come on. John David Crow and me, that relationship I had with him, another person in the school that won a high school with me, that was cool as hell.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Johnny
My family, everybody got to meet John David, be around him, his family. He was a great man. Good dude. That fraternity is something special. I want another one of my brothers in there with me for sure. So I'm starting the campaign. I'm gonna preach about it on here every 15pm Eastern.
Shannon Sharpe
One of your other favorites, the number 16 Vanderbilt Commodore's playoff hopes are still alive after they pulled out a 45:38 overtime win over Auburn. Vandy weathered 442 yards of offense and four touchdown scores by Ashton Daniels. Diego Pavia was the hero, delivering 377 passing yards 11.2 per attempt running for a team high 112 yards, accounting for four touchdowns, including the game winner in overtime. Johnny, your guy, he did it.
Johnny
Yeah, been talking to him the last couple of days too. We're. We're pretty tapped in still. Oh, he's. I told. Still there.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Johnny
One bad loss is still there. Go grind it out. Sneak in the back side of this thing. 10 seed, 8 seed, 9 seed, you can go play. Just get into the playoffs. You gotta buckle down. They look terrible last week and for them to come out there and do that this week. 377, 75 of his passes.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Johnny
Three touchdowns, no picks. They. He rushes it for 112. So we're at 490 yards offense in a day.
Shannon Sharpe
Yep.
Johnny
Bring your hat, your lunch pail, the bucket, the shovel. Because you did it all. That's a day from a QB right there and another one on the ground four.
Shannon Sharpe
And I needed every one of them.
Johnny
Needed every one of them.
Shannon Sharpe
You did, you did. Auburn was up. Albert was up big. I think Auburn was up like 10, 14 at one point in time. And then slowly, next thing you know, it probably shouldn't have got the overtime, but give. Give Auburn credit because Pavia, they went for it on fourth down. He kind of stumbled, and that was enough to throw him off, and they got him and they had to turn it over on downs. But when they got that ball in overtime, he. He knew what to do. He's like, you know what? I ain't giving y' all another chance. I'm gonna put y'. All. I'm gonna put y' all to bed.
Johnny
You saw it a little bit, you know, like, when they get that. The one thing about Vandy is when they get that from. From, like, front of the roster to the end of the roster, they're not the best team in college football. But when they start to play with a little bit of rhythm and, like, energy and excitement, like we've seen fourth quarter, the Texas game, something like towards the end of that game, they show little flashes and little sparks of being really, really solid. All in. All throughout.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he had two receivers go over 100 yards. Richardson, three catches, 124 touchdowns. Stowers had 12 for 122. Cheryl had 4 for 75 on a touchdown. They. I mean, look, he can throw it. Obviously. You got legs. I mean, you know, I. I can see why you gravitate towards him, Johnny, because he probably reminds you a lot of yourself. And talking to him, that's what. Oh, Joe. And I said, yo, hey.
Chad Johnson
But he was. He was live, Johnny. But when we had him on the show. I'm talking about live. Not what you expect, you know, when you talk to a quarterback, especially, you know, in college. But he remind me of you mixed with a little Baker Mayfield. I'm trying to think, who else? Who else can we throw in there?
Johnny
That's very, very confident man in that piece. Like, he got it all. He's got a little Broadway Joe, probably, maybe a little bit.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's very confident. He has fun. I can see why his teammates like him. You know, he was having a good time. He's like, hey, we get ready to go party. You know, hey, we gotta win. We go, hey, we're gonna party. We're gonna have a good time. But then, hey, we'll Put this. Come Sunday, we'll put this behind us and we'll get ready for the next week. But it was. He was sensational. He was sensational and I agree with you. I, I think he's going to be one of those guys. I think he'll. I think he has a great chance to be in at the Downtown Athletic Club.
Johnny
Johnny, I agree as well. I think what he's done throughout the season, the wins they've had, the way he's played, the player that he is, if the award goes to, you know, probably have this year you could have three to five finalists, depending on how the end of the season plays out. Yeah, if there's five finalists, Diego Pavia absolutely deserves to be in New York. I think if you're looking at one of the most outstanding players in football, we have a small collection right now of what you would say based on their performance throughout this year that brings them to New York. I would feel like in my opinion, he gets one of those spots if it's five even.
Shannon Sharpe
The number five Georgia Bulldogs on the road took down the Mississippi State Bulldogs by the score of 41 21. Gunnar Stockton throw three touchdown passes as the number five Georgia beat Mississippi State. Georgia surrender the touchdown on its opening drive of the game and then scored 38 straight points. It's complete miss match on both sides of the football of the Bulldog. Scoreless on six executive six consecutive possessions while scoring five straight touchdowns. The Bulldogs had 305 rushing yards and averaged 7.3 yards per carry. With Nate Nate Frazier running for 181 yards and only 12 carries. 181 yards on 12 effing carries. That's embarrassing.
Chad Johnson
Hey, long day at the office.
Shannon Sharpe
44 rush attempts, 303 yards and Gunnar Stockton had 264 yards passing and three touchdowns. And he's had three straight passing touchdowns in three consecutive games.
Johnny
So Georgia, I mean if you're missing, all you can really say is, man, it'd be like that sometimes.
Shannon Sharpe
They better ring them cowbells louder, Johnny.
Johnny
It'd be like that our won't ringing ringing today.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, look, Georgia's defense that, you know, that's what they're known for.
Johnny
You see them, they got their flashes where they're dangerous like they do.
Shannon Sharpe
They can hit you with a big play, over the top with a pass. Obviously they can run it.
Johnny
Wannabe would you say, Johnny, they're a turnover machine if they want to be. They have guys out there that can get some mismatches and make some plays and really disrupt the game for sure.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, they have those guys though, Johnny. But they have, they're not consistent though.
Johnny
I couldn't agree with you more.
Chad Johnson
Yeah, they're not consistent but in flashes.
Johnny
You see it and you're like, whoa, ye versus Florida. Like okay, you see it. But no, they have not been consistent at all. But to be honest, as we know it's late in the season, you know, and your team is defined of what you are right now. Georgia knows what they are. Where they're weak, this and that. There's things they can clean up to go on a run this back half of the season for sure.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Shannon Sharpe
I look, there's a possibility Georgia doesn't make the SEC championship, but they're going to the college football playoffs.
Johnny
Agreed.
Chad Johnson
Hold on. You say they, they, they might, they might not make. There's a chance they might not make.
Shannon Sharpe
Wins out and Georg and Alabama wins out. They're going to play for the title.
Chad Johnson
That's right.
Shannon Sharpe
Because they don't have any losses.
Johnny
If Texas beats A and M, that's Georgia's best chance of getting in.
Shannon Sharpe
Yes, I agree. And so they theoretically could. Could not. And, and that's the thing, you know.
Johnny
Doesn't Georgia have a big matchup with Texas next week?
Shannon Sharpe
Do they?
Johnny
Isn't it Georgia, Texas soon.
Shannon Sharpe
I think.
Johnny
I thought they play.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't think they got.
Johnny
What's the rest of Georgia schedule.
Shannon Sharpe
I think they still got like Texas.
Johnny
Next week versus Texas.
Shannon Sharpe
Oh yeah.
Johnny
Texas at Georgia at home 7:30 next Saturday. We'll see you after that one.
Chad Johnson
Who you got? Who you got, Johnny? Give me. Give. What's the money line? What's the money line in that game right now?
Johnny
If I'm looking at teams, you definitely know I ain't putting my horns up, brother. I'm taking Georgia to them. Yes. Just go ahead and get Texas out of this playoff race that they think they're in because their game is their season. Their season is on the line next Saturday and this ain't it. Is what it is as an Aggie. Yeah. We're going to the playoff bags packed hotels. What Texas, your season ends on Saturday.
Shannon Sharpe
Your first game will be at home. Johnny, you ain't got to go far.
Johnny
Farmers fight, brother. We are going to be there in full force, 100,000 strong. We got home field advantage for real. Texas season, it ends Saturday.
Shannon Sharpe
Y' all gonna make sure you gonna make sure you put a stake in them on the following Saturday.
Johnny
That's okay. That will play itself out. Rivalry game get real messy. Everybody's seen how that goes everywhere around the country forever. It'll be crazy. It's one of those games that it's rivalry week. You never know what could happen. But yeah, we're talking about Texas playing Georgia next Saturday in prime time. Texas has good pieces. We spoke about it last week. They are a good team. This will be a fight of some sort. However, in my opinion, Georgia wins Texas season, it ends.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Johnny
What do you guys think?
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, you watching their best behavior? It's hard to go between the hedges. Ain't a whole lot of people that's won between the hedges. Now Alabama went in there and kind of caught him off guard. They turned them over a couple of times, but man, look here. That's a tough place.
Johnny
If it was in Austin, I would say Texas has a really good chance to win that game.
Shannon Sharpe
Correct.
Johnny
But it, but it's not.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Johnny
So you take them to Georgia. You're on the road in Athens, you walk off the bus, you feel that. You know what that is? This is a road game in the sec. This ain't you just rolling out of your apartment on 6th street and going to the facility and getting in your home and going to play a game versus Vandy and you crush them. No.
Chad Johnson
Right.
Johnny
This is hostile enemy territory. So with all that, all things considered. No, I like Georgia.
Chad Johnson
I, I think if, if Texas has any chance, you know, it comes down to. Come down to the quarterback play.
Johnny
Huh. He's got over 800 plus TDS and no picks.
Chad Johnson
Hey, what Arch Manning are we gonna get? What Archmani are we gonna get? And he has, he has to put this team on his back offensively and he has to will them to a win if they're going to have a chance. You already know what George is going to do. They're gonna be, they're gonna be on yet. You know what they're gonna, they're gonna put pressure. Yeah. The, the receipt. The receivers on the outside haven't stood out enough for me to make a difference in the game. Like to me, there's no, ain't no Jamar Chase. There's no Justin Jefferson, there's no, no CD Lamb. Like, I'm talking about that guy. I'm like that dude. I mean they, it just. No, nobody for them has popped out to me, you know that, that can just, just take a game over. Like everything has been. Arch Manning has to do this, Arch Manning has to do that. He has to play better. But obviously what's surrounding him hasn't been up, up the par as well.
Johnny
I agree with you and that, that.
Chad Johnson
That, that I, I never, never really want to say that, but it just, it is what it is.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. He's gonna have to play. They're gonna have to keep him. They're gonna have to protect him now.
Chad Johnson
Kill him. Gotta stay, you know.
Shannon Sharpe
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia keep for front seven. They keep a front seven. So you're going to have to, you're going to have to protect him and he's going to have to play one of those games like. Well, like we said last week, man, this is the best we've seen Arch Manning, look. Yeah, we're going to have to come back out here again next, next week and say the exact same thing. If they're going to have a chance.
Johnny
Only chance, you know, they're not going to go out and rush the ball versus Georgia, you know, tonight. We'll be sitting here next Saturday looking the box score. It'll be between 50 and 75 yards.
Chad Johnson
Hey, it's gonna, it's gonna have to be better than that, Uncle Johnny, because listen. Yeah. If Georgia is able to dominate and stop the run, it makes Texas one dimensional. It's gonna be a long day. It's gonna be a very, very long day.
Johnny
They ain't ran the ball for nothing all year. Nothing. You can't run against UTEP. You definitely can't run against Georgia.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
The number 8 Texas Tech Red Raiders 29. The number 7 BYU Cougars 7 confirmed the Red Raiders place in the unquestioned team to beat in the Big 12. With games against Central Florida West Virginia to end December Tech steps into the driver's seat for the conference championship game. The program hasn't won an outright title since the defunct Border Conference in 1955. The Red Raiders were plus three internal margins dominated the line of scrimmage. Hell, BYU to only 3.9 yards per play. Patrick Mahomes took the social media to push linebacker Jacob Rodriguez for the Heisman. I look the only defensive well last year. Well, he was mainly defensive guy but travels or both. But Charles Woodson was the mainly, the only defensive player. Mainly. He did play a little bit of special teams but not like Travis Hunter, he returned punts. But Charles Wilson became the first and only main defensive player to win the award in 1997. Johnny, I'm trying to think what would it take because I thought Indomin sue had a great chance. I don't know how much you remember Verdomin sue when he was at Nebraska. I thought he had the best.
Johnny
I remember that game in the, in the Big 12 championship where Colt McCoy threw it out of bounds and they hit the railing. They had to review it to put. Put a second back up. They put him by himself and he.
Shannon Sharpe
Almost blocked the field goal.
Johnny
It takes something like that. And I definitely been on my phone a lot and I don't see nothing popping up on X or nothing like that to show me nothing on defense like that.
Chad Johnson
Right, right.
Shannon Sharpe
So I. You had, I think, man, TA T. Didn't man make it to New York with you second?
Chad Johnson
Yeah, he been.
Johnny
I didn't win by that big of a margin either. Decent, but not huge. You got votes for sure, man. Tight.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it's gonna take. I mean, you look at Derek. I mean, Derek Thomas, one year had 20 something sacks.
Johnny
He didn't side the ball. It takes.
Chad Johnson
I mean, Travis.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. You got to be. You got to be special. I mean, it takes six to like 12 picks.
Johnny
Six to 12 picks with. Yeah, a lot. Yeah, 20.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, because you think about it, trying to think what, what their record was back then, but I think DT they didn't really keep sacks as a record back then, but I think DT had like 24, 25 sacks o Joe in like 12 games.
Chad Johnson
In a.6 in the 12 games.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he was. He was. I don't know. I don't know. It's just like they didn't keep sacks in the NFL till 1982.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
So. Well, they didn't keep steals. They didn't keep three pointers, three pointer. The three point shot came in at 79. The steals. Steals came in like the 70s, so. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I understand what Patrick's saying. You know, look, he's very excited for his alma mater to be playing extremely well. Now they're in Adidas. Adidas school, thanks to Patrick. You know, I'm sure my homeboy has donated a lot of money to that organization, to that program, but I just don't know. I'm gonna have to really sit down and just like, like watch a couple of games and see what. What's the hype about it, Mr. Rodriguez?
Johnny
Think about it with a team thing, though, the Heisman thing. I get it. Taking care of your boy. It's love. I get it. The team's going to the playoff.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Johnny
Most of their games are UCF in West Virginia. You handle business. You're at the top of the leaderboard, top of the standings in your conference. You're going to be in the top 12. You got a chance.
Shannon Sharpe
You got a chance.
Johnny
So more than anything, Forget the awards. That's all great. What everybody's playing for at the beginning of the year is the big one to get into the playoff. That's where it starts. And then from there, hopefully, you get a good matchup and you go and you play well and you win it. Texas Tech, that's. That's not a team you see in this position very much. A long time since Crabtree and Graham Harold had him up there.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. And. But for a primary defensive player, that. Mainly. That's what he does. Oh, that. Joe will have to. If he a linebacker, he gonna need like 200 tackles. Yeah, you're gonna need like five picks, five force fumbles, two fumble recoveries. And his team's got to have a record like this. It's just so hard because offensive guys put up stats. We like scoring. That's why everything has been catered to. What? In baseball, they narrow the strike zone.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Football, what do they do? They protect the quarterback, the defensive receiver to touch him. They won't scoring, they won't score. They don't care. You know, baseball, it used to be, well, I want to hit.300. Now they just want to hit the ball over the fence. Guys getting 50, 60 home runs, batting.240. And they talk about MVP. You could never win an MVP back in the day with a.240 average.
LEGO Star Wars Advertiser
What?
Chad Johnson
Yeah. I mean, you. You have. You had to be extremely special, you know, at whatever position you play defensively, even be thought of in that category to win something.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
Chad Johnson
So.
Shannon Sharpe
But the Red Raiders a. My homeboy. You. Hey. Ever since he got. They've been going, somebody. I don't know who. Who that booster was. Johnny. They gave that money and say, look, I'm. Damn it. I'm tired of Texas Tech finishing at the bottom of the barrel.
Johnny
Cody Campbell, my dog. Hey, you got that paper, might as well spend it.
Shannon Sharpe
That's when we gonna get this. Win this lottery, Ocho. I'm gonna break Savannah State off every year. We're gonna be HBCU champions.
Chad Johnson
Not. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I thought. Okay, no, I. I don't know about that.
Shannon Sharpe
Every year we're gonna be HBCU champions. I'm gonna give you a little money because I don't want you go give a stipend to fam you, so I give you a little something.
Chad Johnson
No, no, no, no.
Johnny
Y' all boys know I'll make sure.
Chad Johnson
I found you, okay?
Johnny
Just so y' all boys know, I've been playing.
Chad Johnson
What's that?
Johnny
I've been playing lottery tickets. I've been playing. I've been putting in hotel numbers and UNC numbers every week. Boy.
Chad Johnson
Hey, what's the lot? What's the lotto at right now?
Shannon Sharpe
We need to go play 100 billion.
Johnny
It was 800 million last time I checked.
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, 800 million. Yeah. 834.
Chad Johnson
You should.
Johnny
Serious.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. 843. It's about 900 million now. It's about a billion dollars, Ocho. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Hey, see, you know what's gonna happen for somebody like myself. Hey, Johnny. I don't. I don't play lotto. I had no clue on what it might be. And so it's funny. First timers. When first timers go and play out the blue, for some reason, they always win. They always win. Now it'd be perfect. And it behooved the good Lord to bless me with winning. That you. You feel me understanding?
Shannon Sharpe
Because I want to bless you.
Chad Johnson
Because I owe you 5,900. And I. I'll be. It'll be easier.
Shannon Sharpe
So that's what it goes. It's gonna take you within a billion dollars to pay me my money?
Chad Johnson
Yes. Not only that, because you got to think of the good that I would do with that kind of money. The good I would do with that kind of money.
Johnny
Hell, get that 5,900 back.
Shannon Sharpe
What 900 million?
Chad Johnson
Hold on. I need. I need to go play when the next drawing. Who. What money next?
Shannon Sharpe
Jordan is Monday, I think.
Johnny
Playing for you every week. Bro, these are hours. It's not.
Shannon Sharpe
That's the only thing. That's the only thing that I hate about you, about Vegas, that you can't play the lottery.
Johnny
You can't play 88 six times, though.
Chad Johnson
Hey, see, this is the good thing, Johnny. And you don't need to play the lotto. You don't need to, because if I win, you good. I mean, no, hold on. Matter of fact, let me. Let me. Let me. My mouth to God's ears when I win. We good? We good? Hey, Johnny, John, you want to.
Shannon Sharpe
I can't give you a lump sum, Ocho, because I don't want you to help fam. You. I want Savannah State to be top of the food chain.
Chad Johnson
Listen, my money going to fam you first, huh?
Shannon Sharpe
That's why I want to win it, because I have to ration you out. Because I don't want you making no big large donation to fam.
Chad Johnson
No, no, no, no, no.
Shannon Sharpe
Savannah State get first dibs.
Johnny
What's the first thing you're doing you win that?
Shannon Sharpe
I know what I'M doing the first thing I'm doing.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.
Shannon Sharpe
Ash is now the CEO of Shay Shay Media. And I'm out.
Johnny
What about you? What about you, Ashley?
Shannon Sharpe

Chad Johnson

Johnny

Shannon Sharpe
Where you going?
Johnny
To Miami. Are gonna be waiting there and it's gonna take me straight to booby trap. And I'm a dust. I'm a duck. You go to booby trap 100 that ass. 100 bust 100k. A booby trap right off the rip, first thing.
Chad Johnson
That's funny. That's a good one. Hey, the funny thing. The funny thing about it is, is the great thing about booby trap Johnny, I didn't be here all my life. I know we kind of off track a little bit, but this is the great story. I've been here all my life, Johnny, and I've been to booby trap one time. And the fact that I've only been there one time, it was one of the greatest experiences of all time. Because I don't frequent the nightlife. Even though I've been here all my life, I don't frequent the nightlife. So anytime I go somewhere, I'm like a little kid in the candy store. It was a phenomenal experience. I went with the Mrs. We really. We really enjoyed ourselves. Hey, I went to Houston. I don't know if you've been. I'm sure you've been to Houston before. I went to Area 29.
Johnny
Area 29. Yeah.
Chad Johnson
Hey, Johnny. I was like. I was like a kid in the candy store. Once again, I don't frequent the night.
Shannon Sharpe
I don't like candy no more.
Chad Johnson
Hey, Johnny. It was nice. It was nice. And because I don't. I don't. Because I don't do it often, you know, maybe once every nine, ten years or something like that. I'm like, wow, this is really cool. Now I see why places like this are always in raps or in videos.
Johnny
I mean, 830 million tell me I can't go. Give them 100 bands, pay the note. They got bills too.
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, right.
Chad Johnson
You're right.
Shannon Sharpe
You're right.
Johnny
I'm out here blessing people. That's what I'm gonna do.
Shannon Sharpe
You know, What I'm gonna say a little something aside. I got. Savannah State got them a nice little endowment. Yeah, got them. Got them going. We got about to take over the hbcu. Hey, all my. My brother, my sister. Yeah, Broke them off, got the kids. Ocho, where we going?

Shannon Sharpe
Hey, we. We'll drop you off now. I'm going a little further than Turks and Caicos.
Chad Johnson
Hey, I just. Hey, wait. Hey, that. Hey, that kind of money, man, that's different, man. And the fact that we made. We made good money, and this is the kind. This is life altering. Listen, what we made was life altering if you. If you know. If you know what to do with it for sure, but anything close to a billion. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, That's. That's different. That's. That's like, you know what. You know, f this, I'm going to buy the Dolphins.
Shannon Sharpe
No, you can't even buy. You can't. You. You can't even get 10 of the dolphins with that.
Johnny
You can buy two out of his contract.
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, maybe. Maybe 10, 15 years ago, you could have bought the Dolphins. You ain't buying no NFL team with that. Hey, you be lucky to get an expansion soccer team with that, man, please.
Chad Johnson
Hey, hey, I'm. I'm tripping. I'm getting way. I'm getting way ahead of myself.
Shannon Sharpe
I'm a stick, but I would. But I'll show. Now, you got to think about it. Probably the cheapest franchise is probably 4 billion. So in order to get 10, right? It's 400 million after taxes. Nah, I. I'm good with that kind of money, Ocho. I'm good. Hey, just give me something. I could put the rest of it and. And draw 5 to 7%.
Chad Johnson
Yeah.

Episode Date: November 9, 2025
Host: Shannon Sharpe (with Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson & Johnny Manziel)
Main Theme:
This lively “Nightcap” episode dives into the college football weekend, focusing on Alabama’s grind-it-out victory over LSU, Indiana’s dramatic win over Penn State, Texas A&M’s romp over Missouri—and the heated, brotherly banter that only Shannon, Ocho, and Johnny can deliver. The trio breaks down the key games, shares (often hilarious) personal insights, and debates legacy, coaching, NIL, and what it takes to be great in college football right now.
The episode zeroes in on a “Survive and Advance” kind of Saturday, with top programs tested and new heroes emerging. The main focus:
03:13 – 19:20
“You can’t take donkeys to a Kentucky Derby and that’s what it looked like when we watched them earlier today.”
—Chad Johnson (09:00)
19:20 – 22:01
“Are you saying Oklahoma doesn’t have a chance against Alabama?” —Ocho, teasing Johnny’s confidence (20:59)
25:51 – 32:14
36:04 – 42:14
“That was one of the better catches I’ve seen in college...with what's at stake, money’s on the line.”—Chad Johnson (37:38)
42:12 – 46:42
46:21 – 54:04
“This is a road game in the SEC. This ain’t you just rolling out of your apartment on 6th street.”
—Johnny Manziel (51:27)
54:05 – 57:38
“They didn’t keep sacks in the NFL til 1982...I don’t know, it’s just so hard because offensive guys put up stats.”
59:18 – 66:57
High-energy, competitive, brotherly—balancing sharp football analysis with playful teasing, “real talk,” and inside locker room stories. Shannon Sharpe leads as the wise uncle, Ochocinco is the animated tactician, and Johnny brings Aggie pride and irrepressible swagger. The show thrives on chemistry, candor, football IQ, and unfiltered fun—the essence of Club Shay Shay’s brand.
