Key Topics & Insights

1. Lions Defeat Cowboys – Defensive Collapse & Missing Micah Parsons

[04:54 – 29:36]

Game Recap:

• Lions defeat Cowboys 44-30, putting a major dent in Dallas’ playoff hopes.
  • Jared Goff: 25/34, 309 yds, 1 TD
  • Jameer Gibbs: 3 rushing TDs
  • Dak Prescott: 31/47, 376 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT, sacked five times
  • Cowboys ran for 91 yards; CeeDee Lamb left with a concussion.

Defensive Struggles & Scheme Critique:

• Shannon: "Cowboys have two receivers over 100 yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome the onslaught... It was their defense that let them down... They kind of reverted back to what they were in the past and it caught up with them again tonight." (07:10)
• Chad: “When they needed it most and they had to have it... you had opportunity...[but] you weren't able to stop them... that goddamn defense. Muhammad played very, very well.” (08:34)
• Cowboys struggled with defensive assignments, failing to account for pass rush threats and relying on double teams for the wrong opponents.
• Shannon: “Y’all had a lot to say to me… ‘Oh, I thought you said we don’t need Micah.’ Now, I want y’all to tell me the Cowboy defender that demands a double team.” (09:44)
• Memorable quote: “You already know Gibbs got more move than a thousand dollar hooker, so you know he gonna be letting go.” (Shannon, 11:10)

Situational Awareness:

• The hosts hammer on poor situational defense and lack of communication, especially late in each half.
• Chad: “Not only that, that has to be talked about. Understanding the situation at hand. Someone has to say something.” (15:33)
• Shannon: “As a defender, Ocho, you gotta understand the situation. Okay, we're up. Nothing cheap, nothing deep.” (14:12)

Cowboys’ Playoff Chances & Roster Future:

• Cowboys must win out and hope for Eagles missteps.
• Consensus: The roster is talented on offense but lacks elite defensive difference-makers, especially with Parsons gone.
• Discussion on potential moves for a premium pass rusher (T.J. Watt suggested), linebackers, and impending changes among D-line and secondary (move on from Diggs?).

2. LeBron James’ Double-Figure Scoring Streak Ends

[34:02 – 46:58]

Historic Ending:

• LeBron scored 8 pts, ending a streak of 1,297 games (dating back to 2007) of double-digit points.
  • Missed final shot that could have kept streak alive; found Rui Hachimura for the win instead.
  • Shannon: “LeBron James has always made the right play. ...If that was, you know, who, they'd have took the shot. But LeBron’s always made the right play.” (34:23)
  • Chad: “The fact that people criticize LeBron for making the right play is the funny part. It makes no sense.” (36:06)

Perspective on Longevity and Greatness:

• The hosts contextualize LeBron’s milestone, mentioning the era and changes since the streak began.
• Shannon: “The last time Bron scored under 10 points, Twitter was less than a year old. Bronny was 2 years old. ...The iPhone didn’t exist.” (36:09)
• LeBron had 11 assists, no turnovers, but shot 3-17 with no free throws.
• Shannon: “He just didn’t have it going tonight. ...It’s been a struggle for him to find a rhythm.” (40:04)
• The hosts agree LeBron is adapting, comfortable in a third-option role, and praise Austin Reaves' emergence.

On Criticism & Records:

• Debate over expectations and how records are interpreted: was he selfish to shoot, or a “coward” for passing up the shot.
  • Shannon: “He’s in a situation: damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” (43:00)
• Longevity and durability celebrated; comparisons made to Jerry Rice’s and Joe DiMaggio's unbreakable streaks.
  • Memorable:
    • “How many receivers have ever played 274 games, let alone catching a pass every single one?” (Shannon on Jerry Rice, 41:57)
    • “KD is 1,030 games short. ...That’s 13 more years.” (46:15)

3. Buffalo WR’s Bizarre Out-of-Bounds Play – Point Shaving?

[51:17 – 57:57]

The Play:

• Viral video of Buffalo WR Victor Snow running out of bounds instead of an open TD.
  • Buffalo trailing 28-13 in third quarter; he had a clear path, but veered out seemingly unprompted.

Hosts’ Suspicion & Outrage:

• Immediate suspicion of point shaving or at the very least, a deeply suspect play.
  • Chad: “What are we doing in that situation?... Something ain't right.” (52:17)
  • Shannon: “You run out of bounds, quick, and turned back like... His teammate grabbed him like 'bro, what you doing?’” (55:00)
• They speculate about checking communications, texts, NCAA or FBI involvement, and whether the incident was innocent or not.
  • Chad: “We can get [the messages] back. Don’t worry about it. ...That’s all in your iCloud.” (55:46)
• The incident feeds public skepticism about the authenticity of sports outcomes.
  • Shannon: “Trust is everything... If people don’t believe what they see is real, it’s WWE.” (56:19)
• Memorable Quote: “The boy like my granny used to say: something in the milk ain’t clean.” (58:20)

---

4. Darius Slay Refuses to Report to Bills

[59:44 – 66:44]

Situation:

• Darius Slay claimed by the Bills; he announces he will not report to the team. Considering retirement, may be angling to return to the Eagles.
  • Shannon: “What’s wrong with Buffalo? ...If it was me, I’d love to play with Superman if I was a DB.” (60:55)
  • Chad: “I just don’t see...how much Slay loves the game...it’s a chess move. ...He would love to go back to Philly.” (61:00)
• NFL rules and team machinations mean the Bills might keep his rights just to block a return to a rival contender.

Salary Cap/Contract Realities:

• Discussion of NFL financial realities—players' contracts, why teams can’t keep every star, and veterans' value.

---

5. Bonus Segment: Suite Life & Locker Room Talk

[66:44 – 75:58]

NFL Suite Prices & Player Privileges:

• Humorous, revealing banter about the cost and perks associated with NFL suites.
  • Shannon: “The closer you get to midfield, they cost a million dollars. ...Ocho, most suites are owned by quarterbacks.” (65:26, 70:01)
  • Reflection on how only stars could afford them in their playing days; fun debate on pricing.

Personal Story:

• Shannon tells the backstory of meeting his college flame “Cookie”; playful questions from Chad about rekindling old flames and motherly approval.

Go follow my media company on all of his platforms. That's Shay Shay Media and my clothing company, eighty four. With eighty four being spelled out, that link is pinned in the chat. The Lions defeat the Cowboys and pretty much damn any light or any hope possibility there was going to be a playoff run for the Cowboys this year. By the score of 44 to 30.

Jared Goff was 25 or 34, 309 yards and a touchdown. Jameer Gibbs had three rushing touchdowns. David Montgomery had another one and a couple of field goals as they win this thing by the score of 44 to 30. Dak Prescott was 31 of 47, 376, one touchdown, two interception. He was sacked five times. They ran the ball 24 times for 91 yards. CD Lab left the ball game after taking a vicious hit. He went up to catch a pass. His head hit the turf. That was the first thing to hear Ocho and I knew he wasn't coming back because you saw the rigor mortis, the stiffness of that hand. It was a no go. Although he possibly wanted to come back, that wasn't going to happen. Ryan for Lenore came in, he had nine for a buck 15. So again, the Cowboys have two receivers over 100 yards, but it wasn't enough to overcome the onslaught that the Detroit Lions put on him tonight. And again, it was their defense that let them down in the three game winning streak. Ocho, they were middle of the pack. We know what they were before that winning winning streak. They were almost at the very bottom. They was 31st in yards allowed and points allowed. They kind of reverted back to what they were in the past and it caught up with them again tonight. And so the Lions win, keep their playoff hopes alive and damn possible any chance the Cowboys had. Let's see if the Cowboys can win out. There's still a chance. They got four games left. Can they win out and catch the Eagles or somebody else in the playoffs? Will it remains to be seen. But Ocho, the Cowboys in order. And I think the Cowboys have a good team, but they got to get some better defensively. They've got to get better defensively.

[Chad Johnson]

And I was just going to say that defensively they've been playing good. They've been playing good defensively. But obviously in games like this, this is one of those games where when they needed it most and they had to have it, where they actually had opportunity. Despite having two turnovers, obviously, you know you paid double for those. Despite having two turnovers, you had a chance to come back in the game, but you weren't able to stop them, stop them on defense when you actually needed it. And for the Lions, I'm not even giving credit to the goddamn offense. I know the offense scored 44 points tonight. I know they scored 44. But that goddamn defense. Muhammad played very, very well. He had 3D. And I'm not sure what the offense, I'm not sure what the Cowboys offense was doing. Understanding that if you have anything over three step drop for Dak, you have to chip and help the goddamn tackles out. You got to help the tackles out because in space one on one, they're getting beat every goddamn time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It seems like they were doing that with Hutchinson, but they forgot about Muhammad on the other side because if you notice, Ocho, they were doing a lot of chip, a lot of doubling on Hutchinson, but they were leaving Muhammad single block.

[Chad Johnson]

He made him pay. He made him pay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And that. And that's what he should do. But. But for me, OO the defense, they need. Look, hey, Cowboy fans, I want to know, did Quinny Williams or Kenny Clark, did they play tonight? Because y' all had to say. Y' all had a lot to say to me and OO a couple of weeks ago. Oh, I thought you said this trade wasn't going to help. I thought you trade. Say this trade wasn't gonna do nothing. We don't need Micah. Now, I want y' all to tell me the Cowboy defender. They got 12 and a half sacks. I want you to tell me the Cowboy defender that demands a double team. They do realize that Michael Parsons leads in double teams. He's third. He, Miles Garrett and T.J. watt are like 1, 2, 3 chips. So I want to know what defensive player that you got that commands a double team. And you can say, you know what? Hey, he can double, so that means somebody else gonna eat. Tell me the guy. Cause I'm looking at the chance. I'm looking at all these guys. If I didn't know better, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would swear Quinnie Williams, I was working. Kenny Clark didn't play tonight. Y' all keep Ocho Duron. Bland ain't the same. Did you see. Did you see Gibbs shake him on the sideline?

[Chad Johnson]

But you know what? You know what happened right there?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I know what happened.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm not taking up for him. But you understand right there, the sideline is your friend. If the side line is your friend, you know that. You come under control and stay to it. Stay to his inside shoulder.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Why.

[Chad Johnson]

Why you running full speed trying to tackle somebody that you know is shifty?

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you already know Gibbs got more move than a thousand dollar hooker, so you know he gonna be letting go. Oh, you already know this. He shook him so bad, Ocho. He shook him so bad, he just laid on the ground out of bounds. Chat y' all saw it. Chad, If I'm lying, If I'm lying, Lord, take me right now. Y' all saw what he did. Pretend like we didn't see it, but we saw it.

[Chad Johnson]

Listen, call the rule number one as a defender. I know, listen. I know I don't play defense, but even I know you got to come to balance the shifty the player is. You got to come to balance, you know, and you. You take away the angle. The sideline is your friend right there for Daron Bland. You don't. You don't run in there hauling ass out of Control. You're gonna lose that every time. 10 out of 10.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, Joe, you want to talk to the. You want to talk to the. The Lions defense? How many times did CD Lamb spin out? You know, CD Ocho, that's his move. You know, CD Lamb gonna spin out and come back inside, and they overrun it every time.

Yeah, I.

I think the Cowboys have them. Look, I know you saw this. When they kicked that field goal, they got mad at George. They got mad at George Pickens. They took him out on the drive. That what you call them. Flanoy ended up scoring because Pickens loafed on the route, and Dak threw it to him. And Dak was looking like, what are you doing? And that next drive, they came and they went down to score in Florida. Pickens didn't see the field. Now, he has a tendency. He's been great thus far. He has a tendency to drift, Ocho, when he doesn't get the ball or things are not going well for him, and he has a tendency to drift. He's been sensational. And I. If they had won this game tonight without CD and with. With Pick being somewhat quiet, man, I. I'd have had to put Dak way, way on up. I had to put Dak. I might have put Dak in second place on. Because to do what he did, man, he made Floy like. Hold on. You mean to tell me, Floyd.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, Listen, no disrespect to Lano, but you know, it's easy when you're one on one. Once Ceedee went down, you know what the game plan is from that point on. Hey, we going to shell. We going. We going to shell. We going to two. We going 55. Goddamn. Wherever three go. Wherever three go. We putting two on him. It don't matter. We could play underneath. We could play over top. We have to make sure he's not getting the ball. And I think probably. I'm not sure what coverage it was when he did loaf, but Dak was like, listen, I'm coming to you anyway. I'm coming anyway.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

And right before the half, Ojo.

Tesla, he had it. But what you call had already made up his mind that he was throwing his ball out of bounds the same time ocho, he cooked 34. I don't know, 34. Name. I don't remember Ocho, but he had to be so bad. I'm like, bro, how you get beat up, boy? They about to cut you on the sideline. If you gave up a touchdown, Ocho, with four seconds.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, my Goodness.

[Chad Johnson]

Especially in that situation. It's all about situational awareness. Keep everything in front of you. Keep everything in front of you and make the cap.

Simple.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I don't. Ocho, I don't understand. I mean, you. I mean, when you go on the field, you kind of understand as an offensive player. Okay, do we have timeouts or do we not have timeouts? What's most important is an extra 3 yards more important or preserving the clock? Preserving the clock, obviously. Excuse me. Is more important because we don't want to burn our timeouts until we absolutely, positively have to. So you understand that. So you understand where we are in the field. What do we need to get. Okay, hey, what do we need to get as far as a field goal or do we need a touchdown? Because my mind is like. Even though we might need to get position on the field for a field goal, my mind is touchdown. Because I don't want to leave it up because of so many things. A miss, snap, he hook it, he shank it, it get blocked. So if we put the ball in the end zone, I'm not worried about the kicker unless he bringing his ass on the field to kick a pat. As a defensive team, as a defender, Ocho, you got to understand the situation. Okay, we're up. Nothing cheap, nothing deep. Okay? If they get a first down, we're going to make them get 5, 6, 7, first down. But what I'm not going to give you is a chunk plate. I'm not going to give you. Let's allow you to get what. What you need is like six first down. I'm not going to allow you to get four of those in one plate. I'm not going to let you throw this ball over my plate. I'm keeping everything in front of me. But I don't think enough. Enough guys have understanding what they call situation awareness. You got to play situational football.

[Chad Johnson]

And not only that, that has to be talked about. Understanding the situation at hand. Someone has to say something. Someone on the, on the sideline has to communicate that this is what we going to do based on the time and if the coaches don't say it, at least the players got to have some type of situational awareness and situational awareness in knowing what we have to do in this situation.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I was always the guy, hey, guys, with a first down, first down, get out of bounds. We only got one time out. We got two timeouts. We have no timeouts. Guys, get out of bounds, don't fight for extra yards because the last thing you want to do Ocho is fight for extra yards and then somebody rip.

[Chad Johnson]

It out or that clock keep going and you can't. You can't say no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Time. Get your ass. Get your ass out of bounds. At this point in time, the clock is our enemy. The team is not our enemy. The clock. Because a lot of times you just run out of time. If we'd have had 10 more seconds, we'd had 20 more seconds. Well, let's just make sure the clock remains our friend and we get out of bounds and we can get to stop it every time. I. But look, when I look at the Cowboys now, everything is really contingent on being able to keep CD but oo they got some issues on defense. They got some issues on defense. They don't rush the passer well enough. They don't. That touchdown that. That Gibbs got at the end o that was too easy.

[Chad Johnson]

Somebody. Somebody was pull the field. What a Mike. What it was.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know where the guard.

[Chad Johnson]

The guard had to pull and lock him up. That's the only way.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If I'm not mistaken, I think that was the center that pulled. I think it was the center. I think it was the center.

[Chad Johnson]

Make it like that. If the senate, if the city does pull and grab the backer, the safety got the fear right away.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But it wasn't. It wasn't nobody over there but 34. So you. So let me get it straight. I got a center or a guard and I got Jameer Gibbs with the guy with the defender in between me and Gibbs. I like that matchup. I like. I like my chances of getting that ball in the end zone. Yeah, see, but they got some Ocho. They have some issues they got to address. Jerry, you can't fool yourself. Yes, you guys had 400 plus yards, but you gave up 400 yards and you gave up 44 points. Had you not blocked the kick, you'd have gave up 47. You gave up 47 points. Points.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, you know, Unk.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They.

[Chad Johnson]

They. They. They played good the past few weeks though. Un. The defense has been the talk of the town. Obviously the offense was playing good, but the defense has been the talk of the town. The. The defense gave those that are Cowboys fans. It gave us hope. They even, they even gave me hope the way they was looking. And it's because the team is built to play with the lead that def built when the Cowboys have a lead and they could just pin their ears back and go. Because now you put the other team in a one dimensional situation. I have to throw the ball. I can't do nothing else because I got to get myself back in the game. Now what they were able to do against the Eagles when they was down 21 0, that was phenomenal. In order to be able to come back from 21 down a three score deficit, you got to play good defense. You have to. They showed up in that game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But the difference is we already know they knew the Eagles are going to get conservative. The one thing you know about Detroit, they not going to get conservative. Now. I thought they got a little conservative on. They ran the ball twice into the line and then Golf dropped back and hit Amon Ross St. Brown on the crossing route and you know, he almost split it. But Golf had nine incompletions. He really should have had eight because he hit Amon Rob between the one and the four and he dropped it. I don't know what he was thinking. I don't know if Almond Rod didn't think he was going to throw it.

[Chad Johnson]

That Titan, the Titan flashed before him. I think they was in the wrong place.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think no, that was JMO wasn't. That was Jameson. That was a little higher.

[Chad Johnson]

They was in the same.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it seemed like as soon as Almond Rod got me. Because you know it's coming because the back, the back is just going to the other. He don't really know. So as soon as you get behind, behind that backer, the ball's coming and it was almost like the ball surprised him. It's like the ball was on his way and when he got behind, got from behind the backer, it, it was on.

[Chad Johnson]

You know the funny thing about it, I think he saw JMO at his peripheral vision. It was like. But wait a minute now. Am I running the wrong route or you run the wrong route. And, and it threw him off. And, and for the Cowboys don't. And, and I, I think because the Eagles are playing so bad right now, I think the Cowboys are going to be okay. I think the Cowboys are going to be okay. But they're going to have to win out. They're going to. They're. Especially with the schedule that they have left and it's winnable. It's winnable. Especially with the way that offense is playing. It's. It's contingent on how long CD Lamb is out. I'm not sure he's gonna have to go to concussion protocol because it's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, he in concussion protocol. But they, they, they get a week. They play next Thursday. They got the Vikings next Thursday.

[Chad Johnson]

He got time. He got time. Wait who they got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, boy, they gonna. They gonna be cautious, O. Because, oh, you see that? That ain't no thing. That ain't no thing. Oh, I got ding. And you know, I was able to get up. Boy, hey, when that brain. When that brain does that, that brain really hit up against that skull, they're gonna be ex. Look, I understand. And Jerry, they're gonna want him to go, but, boy, you don't want to be foolish. You don't want to be fooling with a concussion like that.

[Chad Johnson]

You're right, you're right, you're right, you're right, you're right. I mean, listen, but I. I knew.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The moment when I saw the replay and I saw his head, the first thing he hit, I said, oh, he done. He ain't come. Definitely.

[Chad Johnson]

Most definitely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He ain't coming back in this one. But the Cowboys look, the Cowboys offense, they're gonna look. I. I like Javante Williams. The offensive line, okay. The tackles, a little. That's not the starting left tackle. That's normally there. Steel has and still didn't play bad. I thought he did a pretty good job with the exception of a few plays where Muhammad. Muhammad got through. But Ocho, they got to get better defensively. They got to. They got to. They've got to try to find a premium pass rusher.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, whoa. It's too. It's too late to find anything.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, no, no. I'm saying. I'm already talking about. I'm over. I'm talking about this year. Hell, ain't nobody they can get. Ain't nobody they can get. Maybe Trey Hendrickson, maybe. I mean, he's available. I mean, I don't know. Maybe the Steelers are willing to go get off TJ Watt, but they've got to do something. And they still have draft capital. They still have a first round draft pick. The. They still have some pieces that they could possibly move, but they got to get better defensively. Ocho, because I like what you just.

[Chad Johnson]

Said right there too. Huh? I like. I like that. Let that marinate a little bit. Cowboys fan, what you think about that? T.J. watt to the Cowboys. That. That'd be nice. That's a nice little piece. I'm not sure if. If that's. That's something that is. Is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Is.

[Chad Johnson]

Is feasible, you know, because, you know, you got to pay for that now. That ain't. That ain't just no. Anybody. We talk about a. A future hall of Fame.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they got. They. They. They got a first round draft pick. They got, they got an extra pick from the Green from the Packers. So it's, it's still a possibility. So you know, a draft pick maybe it takes a first and a fourth but to get a premium, a guy that you have to account for. Now Clowny hurt them out to being out tonight. You know, he had a hamstring injury and it's reported that he warmed up before the game and he wasn't able to go.

Because there have been times that Kalani has been playing really well. Offensively, I think they're good. I, I really do. I think they're set. I love Ferguson. I like Ferguson. When they had Dalton Schultz and I remember having a conversation with Skip, I said skip, Ferguson is better than, is better than Schultz.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he proved that to be. Now Schultz is not a bad guy, but he proved that he, he was. And the Cowboys went with him and gave him a long term deal. But everything is contingent on George Pickens. If you don't, it doesn't matter what you do because CD is not enough by himself. You put CD and Pickens and Ferguson together with Javante Williams. That offensive line is good enough. It's not great, but it's good enough. But Ocho, I don't care how great your offense is without defense you can't give up 44. You can't give up what they give up. And it is too easy. I thought, and, and I thought Bland. Yeah, Bland been getting wor this year.

I think they're going to move on from Diggs. I think he wants to move on. I think they want to move on. Maybe a change of scenery will do well for both guys. They need a play, they need a linebacker. A Wilson is not the answer. Murray is not the answer. I, I look, I, I, I think the D tackles are good. I like, you know, I don't know if you're going to keep Ziggy. I don't know if you're going to keep all three of them. Ziggy, Kenny Clark and Quinny Williams. I don't know if you're gonna keep all three of them, but I think they're very good. But you need a guy that can you, hey, you need a hell raise on that edge that somebody's gotta account for. Now I'm not saying you gotta have a Miles Garrett, but you have to have a tier, a tier two guy. Miles Garrett is in a tier by himself basically.

[Chad Johnson]

Basically.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, but they, but they told me oo I mean Jerry say he didn't need Micah. That's what Jerry said. Jerry Convinced the fans. The fans even started talking bad about Michael.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, most definitely. You, obviously, you know, anyone that's a part of that, that the cowbo, anyone that's a loyal fan, they will always see and find the wrong. The wrong, or they find the right. And agreeing with the owner who owned the team that they support instead of actually using common sense and understanding how great that player is even when things don't go right, making excuses. Well, he wasn't able to do this. You know, Jerry saying, well, we weren't able to be. Wasn't able to win with him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Quinn Williams had what. He had four tackles. Where's Kenny Clark? Kenny Clark. Kenny Clark. Clinton. Clark. Clinton Car. Kenny Clark had three tackles.

But one sack. Ocho, you got. You got. First of all, you already know Ocho. You already know Jared Goff is a mobile. You got to get him off that spot. You can't let him just let his back foot hit and throw it. He gonna pick you as a part thing.

[Chad Johnson]

If anybody was gonna get him off his spot, if anybody was gonna make him uncomfortable, it would have been Young. Young Bull. God damn it.

His hamstring. His hamstring.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh.

[Chad Johnson]

Clowning was hurt tonight. And I don't want to be disrespectful and say he's their best. Their best pass rusher, but he's been the most consistent, maybe not getting sex, at least adding pressure on passing downs where it mattered most.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep, you're right. You're right. And tonight it didn't happen. And look, you. Obviously, you. You're gonna play extremely hard. But. But.

This one hurt. Yeah, this one. This one hurt, Ocho. This one really hurt because you really. You really could have put some pressure on the Eagles and a lot of other teams in the nfc.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, most definitely. How bad do you think it hurt, him being that other.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, they. Well, they got a 5% chance. Let's see the Eagles, because here's the Eagles next. How many. How many? The. We. The Eagles have eight wins.

So Cowboys. The Cowboys.

Theoretically, they still could catch the Eagles and win the division. They went out, and the Eagle go two and two.

[Chad Johnson]

I. I don't see the Eagles continuing to play bad, though, for some reason. I. I just don't. I see them. Even though we're in week 14, 15. I don't. I don't even know what goddamn week we in. I see them turning around and making the plays offensively and defensively when it matters most. Defensively. They didn't look.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They didn't.

[Chad Johnson]

They didn't look. They didn't look too good last game. They didn't look good. But how long is that going to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That going well, you know what comes out right? You know, Carter's out. He had. He had procedure on his shoulders.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. So that, that back. That back end is solid though. Even. Even with Jalen Carter being out. The back end is solid.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But. Oh. So I will say this. I don't know if I've ever seen a call what Ferguson got called for. I've never seen that call before on.

[Chad Johnson]

The receiver swim through.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. All he does is the referee looking at.

[Chad Johnson]

I don't know in order when you change in direction.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And so.

The Eagles have the Chargers on Sunday.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh my goodness.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And they still. I don't. They have the Commanders again and they have the Giants again. Right.

They have the commanders twice.

Okay. They got the Commanders twice and they got the Raiders. Okay. And the Bills.

[Chad Johnson]

Raiders. That's a win. The charges is a very good game. You're gonna have to put some points up. You got to put some points up.

I don't know. It's. It's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then you got two commanders in the Raiders.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean the commanders is Jaden and.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got the Bills. And the Bills got to fight hard because they're three. They're two games, three games right now behind, behind the Patriots. They lose another game, the likelihood of them winning that division. So they got to fight for a wild card. So they're trying to. They're trying to do everything they possibly can. I. Like I said, I, I just. I. The call that was. Look, I didn't think the game was. Was officiated too well. I mean, Pick can't get that. I mean Pick, I get you going to get his face, but you got to let it go. OO. You got to let it go. Oo. You out here like this here you got the man face. Man. O. Joe, everybody can see this. Your arm extended. The man head down.

Dam.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gotta like, you gotta make that quick.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. If anything open that thing up like this.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Let it go. Yeah. Hey. But he grabbed it.

So. But I thought Dak was playing well considering that he lost CD Lamb and he was under duress the entire night. He got out of some stuff. Cause I thought had him dead to write a few times. But he was able to keep himself alive and make some plays down the field. But defensively you can't give up 44 points. You give up 44, there are not very many games that you're going to win.

Giving up 44 points, especially if your offense turns the ball over twice. Because that's two possessions. That's two positions that you don't get any points out of.

Mutual Insurance Company affiliates excludes Massachusetts. So ocho something happened that hadn't happened since January 6th of 2007. LeBron James did not score double figures. So after 17 years.

297 games, streak is over. He's sitting at eight points. He had the ball in his hands. He had a chance to shoot the game when he shot. If he makes it, he gets 10. If he misses it, it goes into overtime. But what does LeBron do? What LeBron Dunn has done his entire career. He always makes the right play. The double AR because AR had it going tonight. Yeah, he had 44 the ball, swung the ball, get to LeBron, he drives the ball, they come, he swings the rui in the corner and for a wide open shot. Now, see, everybody's gonna say, hey, good job, good job, good job. But if that was, you know, who I gonna call. There was two players, they'd have took a shot. But LeBron James has always made the right play. He's gotten criticized by some of the greats, saying, look, I know that's the right play, but in that situation, you being the best player on the court, I want you to take this.

[Chad Johnson]

I have a question.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But that's not how he acquired.

[Chad Johnson]

But, but I have a question. In situations like that, think about situation. Michael Jordan kicking it out the curve, understanding making the right play. I think it's about having awareness and when you're supposed to take that shot and when not. There are times when being the best player on the court, you take that shot, you take it. But if you don't have a good look, there's no need to force a shot. When you know visually, you can see at your peripheral. Okay, I got Ruby sitting over there in the corner. I'm a drive. Imma draw everybody to me. I'm going to kick that thing out so we can get a clean open shot that he can hit to win the game. And the fact that people criticize LeBron for making the right play is the fun. That's the funny part.

It makes no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing is, Ocho maybe, who knows? I still think he makes the right play. Had. But he struggled from the field tonight. I think he. He was what, 3 of 17? So he didn't have it. He didn't have it going tonight. The last time Braun scored under 10 points, Twitter was less than a year old. Bronnie was 2 years old. George W. Bush was the president. The iPhone didn't exist. Instagram didn't exist. Harry Potter's Harry Potter series wasn't finished. Kevin Durant wasn't even in the NBA. Nick Saban had just left the Miami Dolphins. Well, God damn, let that sink in. That's how long ago it's been 1297 games.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, what was Nick Saban with the Dolphins? I remember him there because I remember the story.

[Shannon Sharpe]

2007, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, please tell me you heard the stories about Junior Seow and him having problems with all the players. With the, at the Dolphins. Because, yeah, he, he was very strict.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's coaching. He got a coach. He got a coach, kids.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, Unc. But that. Hey, Shannon Crowder told me some goddamn stories, boy. I'm talking about. I was in tears.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ronnie Brown was there also. That's when they was running. I think that's when they were running Wildcat. Was that the Wildcat when they was running the Wildcat or the next year.

But anyway, LeBron James was 4. 17. 05 from 3. Which. Tell me he wasn't aggressive. Ocho, you know why I say he wasn't aggressive? Not one free throw attempt. But he did have 11 assists and no turnovers.

AR had it going 13 to 21. 5 of 11, 13 of 15. He had 10 assists, 5 rebounds. Remember I told y', all, Austin Reed's going to be an All Star?

[Chad Johnson]

You think, you think he'll make it all?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's gonna make the all star, absolutely 1,000%. He's averaging like 27 points a game, and they're the number two seed.

[Chad Johnson]

I have a question. Is he able to average that that much? Because LeBron is taking a back seat and, and rolling, facilitating the ball as opposed to picking and choosing when to take over games or when they themselves, him and Luca.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, yes, because the ball is mainly in him and Luca's hand and LeBron is playing off the ball.

So it's not, it's not very often that you're going to see a guy that, that's as credentialed as LeBron be the third option.

[Chad Johnson]

But he under, he.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I mean, I guess Kareem theoretically was the third option by the time they got to with him and Magic and Worthy. But look, it's been a struggle for him. I think the thing is him not being able to train this offseason like he wants. With that sciatica, missing as many games he did, he can only miss two more games. So I think it's out of his, like, he knows he can only miss like another two games in order to be an all NBA selection or make any of the, the, the, the, the teams. I don't, I think that's out the window now. I just think the thing is, and.

He'S probably going, this is going to be the first year that he averages under 20 points a game. He'll probably be somewhere around, you know, 16 to 18 points a game. And.

I, I, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't see him much. I don't see him Playing past this year.

[Chad Johnson]

I mean, I don't. Listen, I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't make that call, you know, this early. You have to remember it's still very early in the season. And the fact that he wasn't able to have training camp, he might be bringing himself along very slow, understanding that Reeves and Luca can carry the goddamn load and pick and choose when he wants to insert himself into the game. And the fact that he has a self awareness to not have that, not allow his pride or his ego to get in the way in being able to facilitate, in picking and choosing and allowing the game to come to him. If the shot is there, I'm gonna take it. If I'm out of rhythm like I was tonight and I wasn't able to get my shot flowing, I'm gonna get everybody else involved.

Most players, obviously those that are hungry, they gonna shoot it and keep on shooting no matter how many times they miss.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, he, I mean he shot 17 times. I mean he only had, he had the second most shot attempts on the team. They just wasn't falling tonight. And his shot hadn't been, with the exception of maybe a handful of games that game that he had 25 the shot. But other than that, it's been a struggle for him to find a rhythm, to get into a rhythm. Because look, Lucas dominating the ball. Luka's normally going to take about 10 to 12 shots in the first quarter. If you notice, Luka always gets off to a hot start. He's averaging somewhere between 16 and 20 points in a quarter. So he's getting a lot of the shots. Austin Reed's getting a lot of the shots. So it's kind of hard. He can do it. Like he said, the most important thing is for them to win. But it is tough. And I, you know, look, I'm old enough to remember. I remember. Remember. Excuse me, chat. When Jerry street got broken, consecutive games, passes, he was in Seattle and it was sad. And he still holds that against Bill Callahan because he felt Callahan could have gave him an opportunity. What was Jerry street like, 270 games? I think it was like 270. I don't think anybody gonna break it.

I think Jerry called. I think Jerry had a catch for like 18 straight years.

[Chad Johnson]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

19.

200. Think about it. Ocho, he caught a pass in 274 consecutive games.

From 85, December of 85 to 2004. You think somebody gonna break that record, Ocho?

[Chad Johnson]

Absolutely not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, it'd be difficult.

First of all, you've got to play at least 19 seasons as a wide receiver. He's the only one that's ever done it.

[Chad Johnson]

Can you imagine catching the ball every goddamn game for that long?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. How many receivers have ever played 274 games, let alone catching a pass? How many have played that many games?

[Chad Johnson]

And how many, how many would be able to stay healthy that long to be able to even come close to breaking the goddamn record, let alone playing 19 years or 20 or whatever it may be?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, I think. I don't even think I played. I don't. I think I played like 210 games.

[Chad Johnson]

Dang.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And he caught a pass.

[Chad Johnson]

Every one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Every single game.

[Chad Johnson]

Crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I remember when Pete Rose street got broken.

He was out of streak. I think it was 44 straight games.

[Chad Johnson]

Of getting a hit. Well, you know how difficult that is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah. That's why Joe DiMaggio streak ain't gonna be broken. 56 games.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then he got, then he went out and I think he had another street where he went 17 straight games.

But look at the end of the day.

When you say you play the right way. Cause had he took in the shot, everybody, you know what everybody was saying? He tried to keep that streak alive. He passed it up, make the game win, and play where he was afraid to miss. He ain't got the killer. He not an assassin. He not in the killer. So he's in a situation, damn if he do, damn if you don't.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it's. They got the win. Really hit a big time shot.

Rui 12 points. He's 4, 9, 2 or 3 from 3, none bigger than the one that he hit. DeAndre Aiden has been playing really well. I love the way, I love the way deandre Aiden is, is playing defensively. He's sliding, he's getting isolated a lot. He was out isolated on Brandon Ingram. I thought he did an unbelievable job of sliding. I thought he'd do an unbelievable job of challenging. Obviously, you know, at the rim, being able to put the ball in. He was 8 for 11. He had 17 points, eight rebounds, two blocks.

You can, you can, you can live with that. You can live with that.

But the streak is over. LeBron start another one.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, hold on. And you know what? I just saw somebody, somebody in the chat, you know, the chat going so goddamn fast. Somebody had the nerve to say, I know ain't nothing wrong with my eyes. At the nerve to say, oh, LeBron is breaking down.

I mean, I could have swore LeBron just averaged 25, 25, 8. And what was it last year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he averaged the first year that he, he was 24.7. So it's the first year that he didn't average 25 in 25 season. In 20 seasons. But 24, 8 and 7 ain't bad. This year he looked like he's going to average somewhere between 16 and 18 points a game. But 16 and 18 points a game when the most points anybody's ever. First of all, go look at Vince Carter, what he averaged in year 22. Go look at what anybody have ever averaged in year 20. Look at what somebody's average a year. 19. So nobody's ever had these kind of numbers. And the likelihood of somebody doing it again is not very likely. Yeah, but okay. Yeah, he. Okay, he's 41. 41. Look at all the miles that he's got on those legs. All those playoff games, all those minutes played. Yeah, they catch up with you. They absolutely do.

[Chad Johnson]

Even if it does catch up with him, somebody like that, that is 41, he's breaking down and still better than everybody else that gets even close to that milestone or be that's played that long. You still averaging 16, which is probably, is probably going to be more than 16 once he continues to get his legs up underneath him. Hell, he's just coming back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Who has the next closest streak, the most consecutive double figure game. But it's somebody like they're like a thousand, like a thousand games short, maybe even more.

Cooper Flagg was 15 days old.

The Next closest Ocho KD got 267. So KD is 1030 games. You think Katie's gonna be around to play another thousand 30 games?

[Chad Johnson]

That's tough, huh? Well, that's tough.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's 13 more years. So he'd have to play 31 seasons.

[Chad Johnson]

How old? Katie now what? 30, 30, what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

He ain't playing another 13 seasons.

KD 39, 36. Okay, so that means he'd be playing with his 49. SGA is the next closest at a thousand one hundred and seventy.

[Chad Johnson]

Damn.

Hey man, I mean that achievement in longevity is remarkable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gotta see this. Video has surfaced of the University of Buffalo wide receiver Victor Snow stepping out of bounds on his way to the end zone. Snow had nothing in the way of a touchdown except himself. He stepped out of bounds in the third quarter, down by 15. Take a look at this.

Okay, he got it. Look at this.

[Chad Johnson]

I see it. In the corner.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He runs out of bounds.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, he not. Wait, what is he looking at?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nothing.

[Chad Johnson]

Is he standing? The damn jumbotron.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's staring at the parlay.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, I would. I would love to hear the explanation behind that. Please tell me they have a conversation with reporters after the game on why that happened.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They. They will.

[Matt Rogers]

Bro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You came out better. Not even catching, man.

[Chad Johnson]

Come on. What are we doing?

What are we. What are we doing in that situation?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Came out better, Ocho. He came out better. Dropped. Were they losing? They were losing about 15.

[Chad Johnson]

Something ain't right Now. Now. Hey, something. Something ain't right. But we need to go ahead and check it. Check. Check us. Check his cell phone. Check text messages.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In the third quarter, Ocho is 2813.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, hell no. I'm gonna house that. And buddy. Buddy way behind him anyway. You can't. Yeah, he was running out of. You. You was. You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You didn't try to preserve the clock. Hey, we want. Hey, we wanted to keep the clock running. You down.

[Chad Johnson]

Something ain't right, and I'm. I've never seen that before. That's a touchdown. And you run out of bounds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, it should have been a touchdown. It's not a touchdown, but it should have been a touchdown.

[Chad Johnson]

That's what I meant.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And I think the thing. I think the thing is, Ocho, is that when you. You. You make it so obvious a lot of times, like, you know, do you see guys are betting, oh, he's gonna. He's gonna throw a pitch for a ball. He's gonna throw a pitch for a strike or he's gonna hit the batter. Those are things that are. That, you know, those are normal plays that we see every single day in a baseball game or drops or. We don't see this, Ocho. We don't see a guy run out of bounds with his teeth. We see a guy take a knee. I mean, people get upset when guys take a knee, and all they got to do, they gonna hit their parlay because they gonna hit the spread, and guys take a knee at the goal line, and people get upset. In this situation, you're behind.

This is an opportunity for you to get closer. Oh, yo, now you score a touchdown, you kick the pat. Now you're down 28 to 20.

I. I'm confused by this. I thought I was like, oh, okay. At first I thought it was. I thought they were winning. But then when I go back and look at it and I see all the comments, they're like, hold on. They were losing. Why are you running out of bounds and they lose. I'm asking that very same question, why he run out of bounds? They lose.

[Chad Johnson]

The first thing I said is, was he looking at this jumbotron? Because looking at the goddamn jumbotron and looking up, I can. That's the only way I can see you actually losing, you know, awareness of where you actually are on the field.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, he on the left side. Ocho, he on the left sideline. The jumbo trying this way. I can see.

I can see if you're on the right side of you looking at the jumbotron. And you. You, You. But you look at your eyes. Can you. This way. So your body's not going to drift out of bound. And if you look at Ocho, he puts the blinker on, he turns and runs out of bound. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

He point shaving up.

Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the thing is, he ran out of bounds and quick and turned around and came back in like. Yeah. Even his teammate grabbed him like, bro, what you doing.

Chad? I know y' all saw it. Y' all saw his. Y' all saw his teammate grab him like, bro, what you. What you doing?

[Chad Johnson]

I wonder. I wonder if they. I wonder if they scored on that drive.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know, but I know I'm surprised the NCAA or the FBI ain't had a conversation.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, they gonna have it. They gonna have it. They gonna have it. They definitely gonna have it. Somebody gonna have to have something. Hey, let me see your phone, young fella. And all the messages you deleted.

We can get them back. Don't worry about it. Yeah, all that's in your. That's all. All that's in your icloud.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's.

It's. It's crazy. It was crazy. That. That was. That's what's going on now.

I don't know. I don't know how you get it back, Ojo. I don't know how you. I don't know how you build back the trust that what people are seeing are real. Because for the longest time, Ocho, you know, hey, I had people tell go home. And people said, man, man, hey, sharp, that game fix, ain't it, man? They told such and such to do this. They told such. I was like, I don't know what they told somebody, but they ain't never told me nothing. So I didn't get the memo.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, I hear it all the time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But now after what's been coming out and that, some people are like, okay, they. They didn't play, or they got the under or they did this, man. Trust is everything in the public when they're dealing because they got to believe what they're watching is real or else is wwe.

[Chad Johnson]

And the funny thing about it do Unc, is when I think about it, I think about all. All the hours we put in and how the hell can it be scripted? How the hell can it be? How the hell can it be rigged, you know, based on the work we put in? Well, who the hell they gonna talk to? Because it's 11 people on the field, and it's hard to control the outcome of a game, you know, unless the person that actually has control of the ball. Most of the goddamn time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but think about it, Ocho. We just said now. I'm. I'm not saying anything. But I said I've never seen a call what they called on Ferguson. I've never seen a guy go arm over and he get called for a holding. I mean.

[Chad Johnson]

What the refs doing tonight, huh?

There's certain. And they're. They're the ones that can impact a game the most.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They absolutely can impact the game the most.

[Chad Johnson]

And that, that was ridiculous.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just, it's just, it's just sad. I. I just hate it. And I just hope that like, you know, I'm saying, hey, he just had a brain malfunction and he just tweaked. He started tweaking and he went out of bounds, Ocho. But this is not a good look. This is not a good look for college sports. This is not a good look for sports because everybody's going to start seeing anything that doesn't seem on the up and up. People going to start questioning everything they was already questioning. Now it's about to go to a 10.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, most. Most definitely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But it was.

Damn. So.

Ocho, I mean, bro, you 20 yards from a tub.

[Chad Johnson]

Something ain't right. Something ain't right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The boy like my granny should say something in milk ain't clean.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, hell no. Hey, hey. He point shave, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Come on, Ocho, man. It's definitely not a good look. Now we, we look. Maybe. I. I don't know what's happened. I don't know if he's been suspended. I don't know if he's had a call from his conference. I don't know if he's had a talking to his coach. I don't know if any other higher ups, the FBI or whomever in charge of. Of. Of gambling. Probably the FBI. I think that's the f. That's the FBI department. Federal. Yeah, it's an investigation, so the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I don't know what has happened, but this is not a good look. Chad and I, I think you guys are understand too. I think this is a situation where this is not. This is a horrible, horrible look. I mean, and it could be a big old nothing, but it damn sure look like a big old.

[Chad Johnson]

That was no. Big old nothing, my ass. What you're not gonna do is insult our intelligence. Especially not just me, not just you. The people that actually watch the game of football and never seen anything like that. And if you want to insult our intelligence, hell, we can get the CIA involved too then.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, so what did they do with it? Have we. Do we know what they did with him? Did they suspend him? Did it?

Okay.

Ocho. One day after being claimed by the Buffalo Bill on waivers from the Steelers, cornerback Darius Slay has informed the Bills he will not be reporting to the team. Slay had been a healthy Strat scratch in week 13 and seemingly fallen out of favor in Pittsburgh, so the two sides are mutually agreed to part ways. Adam Schefter reported that Slay wants to continue to play. Since Slay was released between the trade deadline at the end of the season, NFL rules require him clear waivers before he could become a free agent. That did not happen as the Buffalo Bill put in a claim on the 34 year old. Slade does not want to play in Buffalo. However, Tom Pelissero reported that Slade has informed the Bills he will not report to the team and is contemplating retirement. The Bills are likely to let Slay manipulate his way out of the situation. When Anquan Bowden signed with the team before the 2017 season when the playoff drought was broken, he then retired after two weeks before the season began. He later asked the Bills to release him so he could play elsewhere. Bean refused to grant Bowden's request and retained his rights. Ocho.

Well, I think players don't want to go to the field. What's wrong with Buffalo? They got Josh Allen.

[Chad Johnson]

Ain't nothing wrong with y'. All. Ain't nothing wrong with Josh Allen going to a team like that. You have a quarterback, whether it's a chance, you're going to be in contention, defense is decent. You know, I would love to go play with Superman if I was the defensive back. But I think Slay might be chilling. Slay might want to make a move and go back to Philly. You want to, you might want to be able to, you know, have a chance to go back to Philly and help him out in some way, shape, form or fashion. That might be it. Or maybe, you know, I just don't see in understanding how much Slay loves the game that that has to be his move. I think it's a chess move. Obviously, we both have the same agent. I don't play anymore, but still we, we both have the same agent in Drew Rosenhaus. And I know Drew is going to give him the right information that he needs if that's what he's trying to do. And Drew will do his due diligence behind, you know, behind the scenes, behind closed doors so Slay can get exactly what he wants. And I, I personally think if it was going to be a move. I think he would have, he would love to go back to Philly as opposed to Buffalo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, they know that. That's why they're not gonna release it.

[Chad Johnson]

You think they'll play hardball, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, for sure.

For sure. That's why they claim it. A lot of times people would claim players. They get released, they would claim players. So I want to make sure you don't go to a competitor, somebody that we might have to play. What if we release, what if we let him go, then he goes to Philly, we end up seeing Philly in.

[Chad Johnson]

The super bowl and we, and now we got to deal with slate.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now we got to deal with. So no, I, I don't know. I don't. Because all, all they're going to be on the hook for is the last, what, whatever prorated of a $1.3 million left because I think he signed an 8,9 million dollar deal. He got 7 and a half of it up front. So the rest of him. So it's really nothing. So. Yeah, I agree with you. I think that's what he wants. He wants to go back to Philly. I don't think he ever wanted to leave Philly.

[Chad Johnson]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know, they, you know, they were young.

[Chad Johnson]

And Mitchell, you heard me, they, they were young. They weren't. They were young.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They did. Of course, of course.

[Chad Johnson]

It's the nature of the business. I, I think Slay is still a very, very good quality corner. Very good quality corner. And having that veteran presence in that locker room, honestly, for me, I wouldn't, I wouldn't want him to leave either. I wouldn't want to leave. But defense has been playing well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hope you can only play so many people. You got a quarterback on the big, big contract. You got two. Both the receivers making big time money. Look at your offensive line. How much? Look at how much. Lane Johnson, my lotto Dickerson. Look how much money.

[Chad Johnson]

He has a team friendly contract, though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He didn't at first. Oh, yeah, they released it. That's why they released it.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And so now we got guys coming and they had to resign Bond.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, they did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got Jalen Carter coming up. You got Mitchell coming up. You got Jordan Davis coming up. You know what I'm saying? You got Mitchell, you got the junk, you got Ocho. You can't keep everybody as good as you draft. You're not. I don't care how much money you got and how much you want to keep everybody, you're not going to be able to keep Them, you're not going to be able to afford them.

[Chad Johnson]

That's my dog. Hey, wait a minute. Well, maybe Slay might come back next week. He might come back next week because the Bills do have to play the Bengals.

You know.

Personally, I wouldn't want to come back a new team and have to deal with chasing Higgins.

No? You don't think so?

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's really cold up there.

[Chad Johnson]

That's football weather, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Not for no significant other having to sit outside.

[Chad Johnson]

They got sweets.

Man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Please.

[Chad Johnson]

You don't like the sweets in Buffalo? The sweets in Buffalo. Nice, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That man ain't trying to pay money like that, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

You don't think so?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You know how much sweets cost?

[Chad Johnson]

Not that much.

Number 10,000.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Clearly you didn't have a sweet. No, you didn't. Not for no 10,000.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. How much?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Not even. Not even. Not even in Cincinnati can you get a suite for 10,000? I probably say the cheapest suite would probably be.

Couple hundred thousand. What come.

[Chad Johnson]

Ain't no sweet cost a hundred thousand dollars. Now, come on, now, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The sweets, the closer you get to midfield, they cost a million dollars. What the hell you talking about?

[Chad Johnson]

What kind of sweet, y'?

[Shannon Sharpe]

All. What, man? What did you talk.

Ocho, you do realize most sweets, they come 12, 16, 18, 24, 30. That's what sweets come in.

[Chad Johnson]

And you know, you know what's funny? You know what's funny is I actually had a suite, and I don't remember how much it costs, but I, I, I guarantee you, because as, as, as fiscally responsible as I was, if it was anything like the numbers you said, I would have told my, my homeboys and family. But y' all got to sit y' all ass in the stands when they get to November.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How many? How many? How many? First of all, how many, how many. How many people fit in the suite?

[Chad Johnson]

Let me see, it's two rows at the front. You got all the food, then you got the bar. You got the bar stool.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You have to pay for the food. The food don't come with the sweet. You have to pay for the food.

[Chad Johnson]

But, you know, everything, everything comes. I mean, it's part of the package.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, it's not.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes, it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You have to pay into. You have, you get the sweet, and then you have to pay extra for the food.

[Chad Johnson]

Nah, I got, I got a discount on. I think that's what it was. I got a discount. You gotta understand, what's the average price? Let me tell you something. Listen, I'm, I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You can't get it for. For a game.

[Chad Johnson]

No. Yeah. You got to get it for the season. All eight games. You got to get it for all eight games. You. You. You got to understand, for me, they might have gave me a discount because I wasn't just a player. You hear me? I wasn't just a player for the Bengals. I was a part of the Brown family. You hear me? I was. It. Like, I was. I was so integrated in the part of the family. I'm not saying I was adopted, but that was the point where I won't change my name to Chad Brown Johnson. Like, that's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That.

[Chad Johnson]

That's the. That's the kind of relationship I had with owners.

I can't. I can't wait to hear these numbers.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, closer to center field, because I remember me and Ray had one. This was in 2000, and we were next next to the owner's box, and we played a quarter of a million.

[Commercial Narrator]

Damn.

[Chad Johnson]

A quarter of a million.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the food did not come free.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, hell. Hey, hey. I like this. Oh, y' all gotta like this. I like this topic right here, boy. Hold on. I like this topic. It's a good topic.

Oh, this is a good topic.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We'll have to. We'll have to. We got to put a call in to see how much.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm calling. I'm calling right now. Hold on.

Come on, answer the phone. Don't do me. Don't embarrass me in front of people. Come company.

Oh, he embarrassed me in front of company. God damn, TJ.

Cause.

Damn, he answered the phone. Now, you got me curious. A quarter of a million for a suite?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, because we. We like, obviously, the owners on the 50 yard. You know the owners on the 50 yard line.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So we got. We had the suite right next to it, so.

Probably Ocho in between the twenties is where you're gonna pay the most. Obviously, you start getting the corner and then the end zone. Because you see what they call said the. At the Super Bowl. Them sweets at the super bowl be two, three million dollars.

[Chad Johnson]

Crazy. And y'. All. And honestly, at the super bowl, those aren't the actual fans.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Chad Johnson]

It's basically a corporate event. That's all it is.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And the thing is, Ocho, you have to give your suite up if the super bowl is in your state. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, you got a suite in Cincinnati, and the super bowl in Cincinnati. That's not your suite. That belongs to the NFL.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, you're right. You're right. They Got to. They got to make their money, huh? Yeah, they got to make their money. They not playing about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I left. Hold on. Wait a minute.

I mean, I.

I'm just like. I'm like, God damn.

[Chad Johnson]

A quarter of a million. What? Oh, hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah. Oh, Ocho, it's expensive, man. But look, most of the time, you know, who has the sweets, the quarterbacks.

[Chad Johnson]

The really hot dogs, the big boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And, you know, you don't want to. You know, you don't want your wives, you know, because when I was there, the only guy that had a suite was John. When I was in Denver, the only guy that had a suite was John.

I mean, everybody had to sit outside.

[Chad Johnson]

To have family members.

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because it wasn't. Bro, he was the only one making big money like that, man. You can't afford no play. No hundred thousand dollars. You got to realize. Hundred thousand dollars in the 90s. But Ocho was a lot of damn money.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, it's a lot of money now. But I'm saying. I'm saying, when you have people not making a hundred thousand. When I first. My first two years, I didn't make a hundred thousand a year. I made 63 and 73.

[Chad Johnson]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, hey, give me them 125 tickets, because I think. Yeah, I think. I think my first year, I think the tickets were like. Nah, it was like 70.

[Chad Johnson]

What do you think tickets cost now? What's the difference? The ticket prices now?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Probably 200, 250 for players tickets. Because you still get two comp. And then you can buy. And then you can buy.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, you can buy as. You can buy as many as you want. Because it's coming out that goddamn check.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

You playing.

It all depends on who you playing, because there are a lot of times, like you playing Kansas City and the Raiders. Nah. Or you playing the Cowboys.

[Chad Johnson]

Wait, they up the price.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You have to. But you have to get somebody. Hey, let me get somebody else tickets. Because. But, you know, my tickets were always in the same area. So, you know, my mom come and, you know, so I got, you know, I'm gonna get, like.

Right there.

You know, when I. When I, you know, I have nobody, I ain't want them to sit where my family was sitting. So I put them, you know, I put them over there. Other side, you over here.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. You ain't want nobody. You ain't wanna. You want nobody. See you. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Where your mama said, don't worry about that. Don't worry about that. Don't worry about that.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You not sitting with her, so that's.

[Chad Johnson]

Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, no. Okay, now, everybody can't get that privilege.

[Chad Johnson]

No, you're not the type. When you dating somebody, everybody meet your mama.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, no.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, well, you know, that's. That's very important because, you know, your mama tell you about your girl, you know, before anybody else. She knows. She could. She could read them.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Trying to think. Once I met Cookie in college. She met. Yeah, but it takes a nah there. You ain't just gonna meet off the real.

[Chad Johnson]

Meet off the real. Because your mama gonna tell you the truth. And, baby, this ain't the one that didn't happen. Yeah, okay. I got you. I got you. Well, you know, hey, because that might.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, Ojo. It just might be a. Might be just a convenience store. We just stopping to get some candy.

[Chad Johnson]

Funny thing about it. You heard what you just said. It might just be a convenience store. Your mama let you know that's the run. It's gonna be. She gonna know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I already knew that. Yeah, I don't need mom to tell me that.

I don't. I don't need Bob to tell me that. I knew that.

[Chad Johnson]

My bad. Let me get out. Let me get out your business. My bad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, you know, hey, but, you know, but everybody wanted to go to the game because Broncos been sold out. Broncos got the second largest sellout behind the. The Washington team. So tickets ain't easy to get. Everybody can't get tickets going to the Broncos game. And so, you know, is it still.

[Chad Johnson]

Like that right now, even?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

I know.

[Chad Johnson]

It's like. I know the tickets price is crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But the Broncos been sold out. I mean, the Broncos been sold out since, I don't know, 70, 75, 77, something like that. Been sold out for damn near 50 years.

Honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for pre exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more. Sponsored by Gilead.
