Ocho Selection Sunday is here. The UNC Tar Heels made the field as another 11 seed. God heard a lot of prayers in the South Region. Despite winning all of one game against Quad one competition. The tournament birth helps Hubert Davis avoid second tournament absence in three years. The number one seed in that division is the Auburn Tigers. Although they didn't win the SEC. The SEC set a record, if I'm not mistaken, with 14 total teams in the tournament. Yeah, Ocho, Congress must have had a special session to get Carolina in, right? It either took. It was either an act of Congress or something from God because I can't explain how they were able to make the field.
- [10:11]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, do you think do you think? Is it a possibility? The reason that they are in is the fact that they have the athletics director being part of the selection committee or. That has nothing to do with it. I'm just curious.
- [10:23]
Shannon Sharpe
Well, I mean, hey, he's only one vote. How the hell you overlook the inequities, right? And you look at their more qualified teams. There are teams that beat Carolina that didn't make the tournament. And I understand what the Tar Heels are. They're one of the blue bloods. You look at Carolina, you look at Duke, you Look at Kansas, UConn, Kentucky, there are five or six schools that you can pencil in. Same thing in football. You look at Alabama or USC and Ohio State or Michigan, things like that, and you get it. But I can't. I can't. And everybody knows I'm a Tar Heel fan, right? I go way, way back. I go back before Michael Jordan got there, when they lost in 81 to Indiana with Isaiah Thomas. If you. I know you don't remember Ocho, but that was actually. They played that game on the day the assassination attempt on Reagan. John Hinckley tried to assassinate President Reagan. And they thought about postponing it, and they didn't. You were like, I'm trying to think. You're probably four years old, so I know you don't remember.
- [11:27]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on, hold on, hold on. What you mean, Uncle? I was there. I knew what you talking. I was there. I remember what exactly would happen. Now, listen, this is what I want people, you, and also you to understand and the people in the chat understand. When it comes to come to tournaments like this, think about college football. When it comes to the selecting process, let's understand the economical and business side of things, the money side, okay? Now you say there are other teams that are deserving of being in the tournament. Now, when it comes to bringing in the money and the revenue, are the other teams that you feel are qualified, other than North Carolina, will they be able to bring in the revenue the same way North Carolina will as well? Let's understand that aspect of things. When it comes to picking what teams are going to play, what team, what fans are going to show up.
- [12:16]
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, no, no, no, no. I mean, Tar Heels are one of the blue bloods. You look at the pedigree, you look at the coaches that coach there, you look at the players that came out of there. But you know what? And I get that. I get that to a degree. But this is not a lifetime achievement. There will be a time that people get lifetime achievement awards. You See them have the Vanguard Awards or you have their lifetime achievement award. They ask their lifetime achievement. Okay, but this is not now, right? Right now, this is an update. This is what have you done for me lately? This is a resume. I'm looking at your resume for 2024, 2025, right. And it's not up to par. You didn't update it. And guess what? Your references are no good here. Yeah. Because the references that I want you to see is that you beat Duke, right? Did you beat a Kansas? Did you beat a Yukon? Did you beat some of the powerhouse teams that got there? You got one win, right? All of these teams that we call quad now, they call them quad one. You got one team, you get one win. I can't justify that. And I'm a Tar Heel fan and I've been a Tar heel fan since 1981, but I can't wrap my arms around this. I can't say, oh, because you're a blue blood. Coach Smith and Michael Jordan and James Worthy and Vince Carter and all these guys do it right now. Michael Jordan is not playing right now. Vince Carter is not playing right now. James Worthy and coach, rest his soul, Coach Smith is not coaching right now. That ain't got nothing to do with right now. Right now. I do not believe they have forget deserving. I don't believe they've earned the right to be in the tournament. That's just me.
- [13:46]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You right, Listen. You right. But when it comes to the tournament, you know, just like, just like our, our brother down at, down in Dallas with the star on the helmet.
- [13:54]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [13:55]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know what the bottom line is?
- [13:56]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, we.
- [13:58]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
We know what the bottom line is. Now, when you're, when you're a fan of the game, those who watch the game of college basketball or any sport at the collegiate level, the bottom line always remains the same and it always will. And this shows you why that remains. The most important things put North Carolina in there. They understand what it does for them from an advantageous standpoint when it comes to making as much revenue as possible. As long as North Carolina is in that tournament. Yeah, everything you said, they're up their resume, they shouldn't be there. It hasn't been updated in a very long time. But because of who they are and what they've done historically, being rich in history, that's why they in. I don't agree. I agree with you. And you a North Carolina fan. There are people in the chat that probably agree with you as well. I mean, who wouldn't even a blind man can see there's no reason they should be there. But that money. Money talks, huh? It talks. It talks and it's gonna walk every single time.
- [14:57]
Shannon Sharpe
Right? And you know, that's the south region. You look at the East Region, Duke, even though we're a Flag.
- [15:06]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [15:06]
Shannon Sharpe
Without him being in there, they still was able to pull it through. I think they're deserving of the seed that they got. They got number eight, Baylor in that division. Mississippi State in the second round, potentially facing number four, Arizona, Oregon, to decide the Elite Eight. Alabama's at the bottom. If flag comes back. Look, this is why people love Marching Madness, Ocho, because it's one game. And the further you go into the game and you haven't separated yourself. Yes, sir. The more confidence. The underdog or the lower seed starts to get confident, and they're like, hold on, wait a min. We still in this game?
- [15:44]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, we got the lead.
- [15:47]
Shannon Sharpe
That pressure starts to mount on the favorite, and the underdog, the lower seed, starts to get more and more confident. That's why you get the upsets. That's why we love March Madness so much. Because most of the time, like, if these teams play, if Duke play a team, say somebody knocks off Duke. If you're asking somebody to beat a Duke four out of seven times, probably not going to happen. But for one night. We've seen NC State knock off that legendary Houston scene. We've seen Duke knock off UNLV in 1990 when they were undefeated and just blew them out the previous year. We've seen things like that happen before. Who else? Oh, Villanova in 85 when they shot Georgetown after they had just won the pre. You get that and we love that. Cause you know what? We got a small team, man. First of all, this team would not even, never even schedule us, let alone a chance to beat them, right?
- [16:46]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh.
- [16:46]
Shannon Sharpe
Oh, we got him. We got him on the rope. You get a 116, you get a 215, or you get whatever the matchup may be, and you get it. Ocho. And the fans go crazy. That's why they call it March Madness, because it's maddening on what's transpired. That's the East Region, Ocho. In the Midwest, you got the Houston Cougars, and you got the bottom. You got the bottom. You got Tennessee, finished second in sec. You got Kentucky. Also in there, you got the Georgia Bulldogs. I mean, considering that you got four teams from the SEC and you only got four regions, obviously, so you'll get a lot of overlap. So basically, you're Gonna probably get three, at least three teams from that conference in every region. And in this situation, you got Tennessee, you got Kentucky, you got Texas, you got Georgia. So you got four teams. One, two, three, four. Yeah, you got four. Four teams from the Southeastern Conference in the Midwest region, led by the Houston Cougars. And in the West, Florida headline that division. Division. And you got St. John, man. Kudos go out to Rick Patino. Yeah. Because all I know is, is when Rick goes somewhere. Yeah, they're going to go to the tournament. I don't care what they were the previous year.
- [18:01]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Every time. Every time. And listen, I know the SEC has been playing phenomenal basketball all season long. They played very well to date. But I have. I have St. John's winning this. I have the whole thing. What? I got St. John's well, I got St. John's winning this thing. Listen, I'm not. I'm not a gambling man, but if I was, if I was and I was to put money on. On a tournament, if I was to make a bracket, you know, I can tell you who won't be in the end of that bracket hoisting that trophy. It's going to be St. John. It's going to be St. John. Now, is there anybody in the chat want to make a friendly wager or a friendly bet under a hundred dollars we could do so. Rick Pitino don't play no games.
- [18:44]
Shannon Sharpe
No, he can coach. I mean, he's Louisville. He went to Kentucky. I remember him@providence. NBA. He didn't have the success in the NBA that he had in college, but you look at the teams that he's led to college. Iona, Providence, Kentucky, St. John's Louisville. I think it's been about five or six teams that he's taken to the tournament, and they go deep. Providence went to the Final Four when he had Billy Donovan. Obviously, he won it at Kentucky, if I'm not mistaken. I think that was 96 with Antwan Walker. I think maybe. I don't know if Monster Match was on that team, but I know Antoine Walker was on that team. And we see him. I think he wanted at Louisville. When I was at. When I was at cbs, I think that was the year. So that was. Had to be like 2010. Early, early teens. 2010, somewhere around there. But he can flat out coach Ocho. Oh, yeah, he can just flat out coach. He can get the best out of players. And you look at St. John's and I think they got a big booster. He's the founder of Body Armor, and he says, whatever you need.
- [19:46]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I got you.
- [19:47]
Shannon Sharpe
I got you. And that's kind of what you need to have. You need to have that backing to go out and get those top players. Because, hey, if I'm not getting playing time at one place, Ocho, guess what? I'm gonna hop in that portal, which I got for your boy.
- [20:02]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I'm. Holla at you later.
- [20:04]
Shannon Sharpe
What you got for your boy, Ojo?
- [20:06]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And sometimes when I think about it, too. Yeah, you know, sometimes I think that could be humbling, too, for players.
- [20:13]
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
- [20:14]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
When you can't. When you can't get on the court at a certain place, you know, that could be humbling that you think you. You think you. You think you're as good as you are here, but based on where you are, you can't get on the court. Man, it is. The nil is saving a lot of people. Yeah, it's saving a lot of people.

Check. Hypnotic can turn any cocktail into an iconic creation. With its game changing color and tropical flavor, Hypnotic should be in everyone's starting five.

- [23:49]
Shannon Sharpe
And what is done, Ocho, is that it has before. Yeah, look, some people, some guys, I mean, obviously it's level the playing field. Some guys were getting money even before nil.
- [24:01]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh yeah.
- [24:02]
Shannon Sharpe
But what it did, what it did, Ocho, is that I had to wait. I had to wait.
- [24:09]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes, sir.
- [24:09]
Shannon Sharpe
Now guys are really good now. Hey bro, they gonna get a couple hundred thousand now. I don't know if they're making the money like, like football players.
- [24:15]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, no, no, no, no.
- [24:17]
Shannon Sharpe
Because unless you go to Duke or Carolina, something like that, a program that's that, that, that the basketball program is probably one of the chief moneymakers. Now. Georgia, obviously, you know, you got Georgia and Florida and you know, Alabama and things like that.
- [24:33]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [24:33]
Shannon Sharpe
Kentucky is a basketball school, so. But when you look at a couple of hundred thousand dollars, when you know your mom or grandma, you come from, you know, project housing or somewhat of a broken home and it gives you an opportunity to get some money to get them out of that situation, bro. Yeah.
- [24:50]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Take you a long way.
- [24:51]
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, for the most part, some kids Like, I remember when Coach Morrison, my brother's coach in South Carolina, he asked my brother. My brother was an all American his junior year, had over 1100 yards, broke the school record, had an unbelievable season, finished, you know, top five, top six in the Heisman, boating. And he tried to encourage my brother to go pro. He says, I think going pro would really help your family situation. My brother told him, say, hell, coach, we've been poor. Another year won't hurt. Yeah, my brother really enjoyed college. He's like, look, we. My a. Everybody's gonna be fine. They can. Hey, we lived in that house. My grandmother. My grandmother had been in that house for 30 plus years. Another year.
- [25:38]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ain'T gonna do no harm, huh?
- [25:40]
Shannon Sharpe
Nope, nope, nope, nope.
- [25:42]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [25:43]
Shannon Sharpe
And he was right, right? And for us, that's the way we looked at it. And I think the thing is, for some people, money ain't the end all be all. For some, you try to move as fast as you possibly can because you don't know what tomorrow holds. And some of these kids, like, you know what? Hey, I need to get this money. I want to make sure my mom, my grandmother, my dad, whatever the case may be, is in a better situation. And some kids like, hey, but I think today's. In. Today's game, Mocho.
- [26:13]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [26:14]
Shannon Sharpe
Like when you were. When I was younger. And you probably like, say the. Before 2003 and four, when guys stayed all four years, right? And I think now it's hard to get behind it because, you know, I'm watching. I'm like, guys, I really don't. Other than Cooper flag, I couldn't name five college basketball players, right? I couldn't. Because they leave after their freshman year if they're really good. Kim Jordan stayed three years.
- [26:47]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
James Worthy stayed three years.
- [26:49]
Shannon Sharpe
God stayed. Ralph Sampson stayed all four years. Tim Duncan stayed four years. And so you got an opportunity to know the player, right? Look at dude. Christian Laitner and Grant Hill and Bobby Hurley, all those guys normally stayed, right? Georgetown before Allen Iverson. Nobody went one and done at Georgetown. He was the first. Yeah, those guys stayed. Pat Ewan stayed. And so you got an opportunity to like, really know the guy.
- [27:18]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, you think that's hurting the development of the players leaving, leaving for. Leaving for the NBA a little too early when they really. Not really. Unless you are a. Unless you are a bonafide superstar. Unless you're a Kyrie Irving or Zion Williamson. Like, do you think that they're leaving a little too early and knowing that they're not ready for the next Level or you're not a difference maker that can actually change, change the dynamic of a franchise.
- [27:44]
Shannon Sharpe
Can I ask you a question? Talk to me, you colleague, you go to college and somebody says, you know what? Let's just say you're a finance major.
- [27:51]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes, sir.
- [27:52]
Shannon Sharpe
And here come Newberger Berman or Morgan Stanley or what's that big. There's this big, some big financial institution. Say, you know what? We got a quarter of a million for you at the job right now. You gonna say, nah, I don't think I'm ready. Somebody offer you that kind of money, whether you're ready, you're probably going to take it. Now, sometimes people like, no, I'm not ready. I'm gonna go back to school. But for more times than not, you're the first overall pick. You're gonna be a lottery pick, okay? You're gonna go get. You gonna go get that money because why are you going. Why are you going to school?
- [28:25]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right?
- [28:25]
Shannon Sharpe
You're going to school. College is to help you get a degree so you can get, get or go make money. Well, somebody wants to speed that process up. Ocho, who am I to fight?
- [28:35]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Say, no, you're right.
- [28:36]
Shannon Sharpe
Right? Who am I to fight you? You just want to speed the process up of giving me 20 million, right? No, I ain't fighting you. I'm sorry, I just can't. I just can't. I'm not gonna fight you. Plus, you see those? You see the mega contracts? Somebody about to get 400 million.
- [28:54]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Wait, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Did you what you just said, you see those contracts? Make them. You know how good you have to be to be able to get those contracts?
- [29:03]
Shannon Sharpe
Now I can't get them in college even if I am great. Let's just say for the sake of argument, I'm great. Can I get that in college? No, no, I got to speed the process of getting to the NFL.
- [29:14]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, I'm with you. Me, you. Right?
- [29:17]
Shannon Sharpe
I got to speed that up to get to the NBA, because all I'm doing, the longer I stay in college is the longer I delayed that opportunity to get that kind of money.
- [29:25]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But this is the thing, to get that kind of money. You already know the type of players they're going to get that money that are in college. Those are the ones that can. That can be one.
- [29:33]
Shannon Sharpe
You saw Pat Mahomes in college. Did you think he was going to be Pat Mahomes? What you see right now, when he was at Texas Tech. No, you didn't?
- [29:38]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No.
- [29:39]
Shannon Sharpe
Remember Joe Burrow? Joe Burrow couldn't even get on the field.
- [29:42]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ohio State.
- [29:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Joe Burrow was a third or fourth round pick his junior year.
- [29:47]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, okay, I got you.
- [29:50]
Shannon Sharpe
Don't. It's hard to really tell sometimes. You can see it, Ocho. And you say, like, Peyton Manning. You looked at Peyton Manning, you're like, boy, it's hard as hell. But there have been other guys that you thought that can't miss, and they miss like Ek.
- [30:05]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, I'm just staying within the context of basketball, right? Especially college basketball. They're players. Listen, when you saw Zion Williamson, you knew what you was getting. When you saw Kyrie Irving at Duke, you knew what you was getting.
- [30:20]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [30:21]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know, and I'm sure there's some. There's some other players that I can't name right now, off the top of my head. When you saw him play, and they were. And they were one and done, it was like, man, he finna be that boy.
- [30:30]
Shannon Sharpe
Right?
- [30:31]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He's finna be that boy. No if, ands or buts about it.
- [30:38]
Shannon Sharpe
And the thing is, it's just so hard to. Because you seen guys that were okay at the collegiate level, basketball or football, be just okay, and they come in and they kill it. I mean, you see guys like, oh, this guy can't miss. Oh, he gonna be. He gonna be bonafide. And you like, bro, what happened?
- [30:59]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, it's different.
- [31:01]
Shannon Sharpe
And so the opportunity presents itself, Ocho, is like when the opportunity presents itself because you're going to school to get a degree so you can make money, right? Somebody wants to feed my process up, Ocho.
- [31:12]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm not denying it.
- [31:13]
Shannon Sharpe
Now, I can drive, Ocho. You can drive from Miami to la, But Delta want to speed your process up, in which you get there or you to fight them. Nah, I don't want to get there. I don't want to get there in five hours. I want to get there in four days.
- [31:28]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yes, sir.
- [31:29]
Shannon Sharpe
No, no, I don't. I don't work like it don't work like that. Yeah, so that's just. For me, that's just the way I look at it. Like I said, the collegiate game, I think the women, because they're forced to stay, you know them, you saw Caitlin Clark for four years. You see, you see these, you see these women, you go see juju, you gonna see a Paige Beckers, you gonna see Hannah Hidalgo, you saw A Mile Moore, you saw Diana Taurasi, you saw Candace Parker, you saw Shamika Holsclaw, you saw these women. Were the guys wanting to Kevin Kevin Durant gone. Damn Texas. Damn. I thought y'all had something. You sort of got gone. Boom. And so now it's the guys in college, if you're really good, if a guy's really good, he gone after one.
- [32:23]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, yeah.
- [32:24]
Shannon Sharpe
Juju Watkins could have went to the WNBA last year, but she. Unfortunately, she can't go.
- [32:29]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [32:30]
Shannon Sharpe
Paige Becker should have been. Paige Becker was freshman of the year. Was the player of the year freshman year.
- [32:35]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [32:36]
Shannon Sharpe
Hooper Flag is about to be freshman of the year. Cooper Flag ain't coming back. He ain't coming back to Duke. He not. No matter how much. Oh, he's. Oh, I might come back. I'm having such a great time. No diggity.
- [32:49]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's it. He out of there, huh?
- [32:51]
Shannon Sharpe
He out of there. He'd be foolish not to. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. If you're the first overall pick this year, how much higher can you go? Yeah, man, you can't go higher than number one Pickle. Damn. So what? What, what am I coming back before?
- [33:06]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, he's nice now. He really nice. Hey, speaking of. Speaking of. Speaking of Flag, what is the extent of his injury and how long do.
- [33:13]
Shannon Sharpe
You think he stepped on? He stepped. He jumped up for a rebound and came down on somebody's ankle. Yeah. And you know how that is. Yeah, that could be. I mean, he didn't play. I'm sure they doing everything he can. They resting it, they icing it. They got compression on it. They keeping it elevated.
- [33:28]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [33:29]
Shannon Sharpe
But who knows? He might be able to play. They might try, Ocho. They might try to squeeze by. I mean, they should be able to hold on. Let me see. They. They should be able to be American amount. St. Mary's they probably should be able to get past Mississippi State or Baylor.
- [33:47]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [33:48]
Shannon Sharpe
Hopefully they can go, you know, maybe to the second week. Don't have to play them until they get, you know, something like that. Yeah.
- [33:55]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Lee hate this is the funny thing about Mars Madness. As good as they are, ain't no telling what's gonna happen when they play some of these small.
- [34:04]
Shannon Sharpe
You don't.
- [34:04]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Ain't no telling what's gonna happen. Cause it's just one game. It's one night.
- [34:08]
Shannon Sharpe
I ain't got no pressure on me, Ocho. I'm supposed to lose. You're supposed to win, right? I'm supposed to lose so I can throw caution to the win. I can shoot as many threes as I want. I can play what. I can play whatever kind of. I can play, you know, zone. I can play a 1, 3. 1. I can play a 2. 1, 2. I can do whatever, sir. Cause I'm not supposed, I'm not supposed to beat you. You're supposed to beat me. Me? Yeah. And the longer the game goes and there's really no separation between the two teams, the more confident they get the underdog get.
- [34:40]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. I'm excited.
- [34:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I'm excited too. Like I said. But the cat's side, the bag now, you know, once Kentucky started having these one and dones, you know, you got cat, you got A.D. you got all these guys. One and done. You got the Tyler Heroes, you got the Jamal Mur, you got the books, you got, you know, you got all the Shay Gil. Just one and done. And then you get the Dukes. One and done. If I'm not mistaken, I think El Brand might have been the first one and done in 99. I think he might have been the first one and done.
- [35:11]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He went, he went to the six. He didn't go to the sixes first, did he?
- [35:13]
Shannon Sharpe
He went to the Clippers, if I'm not mistaken.
- [35:15]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
The Clippers.
- [35:15]
Shannon Sharpe
I mean.
- [35:16]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Clippers. Clippers. Clippers first.
- [35:17]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, I think he might have been the first one and done. So he kind of like started that process of the one and dones at, at, at Duke. And then obviously, you know, you have Kyrie and you have other guys that came after that, right? But Leitner, think about Latent stayed all the years. Bobby heard it was there. Great. He was there. Dang. All those guys. And so no, once Grant, I mean once Elton, if I'm not mistaken, I think he was the first one and done. Just like Iverson was the first one and done. At Georgetown. At Georgetown. And it was it. And it happens. I mean, but we'll see.
- [35:59]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh yeah, we'll see.
- [36:00]
Shannon Sharpe
Ocho. So you got the SEC set a tournament record conference with 14 teams in the field. Number one, Auburn. Number four, Texas. A&M. Number six, Mississippi State. Mississippi. University of Mississippi. Ones in Starksville. They're in the South. Number two, Alabama. No. Oh, Mr. Rebs, excuse me. The Rebels are in the South. Number two, Alabama. Number eight, Mississippi State. They're starting in the East. Number one Florida. Number six, Missouri. Number eight, Oklahoma. Number 10, Arkansas. They're in the West. Number two, Tennessee. Number three, Kentucky. Number nine, Georgia. Number 11, Texas. They're all in the Midwest. After banner regular season. The onus is on the SEC to deliver on the well deserved respect by sending multiple team to the second weekend, potentially two or more all the way. To the Final Four. Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be real sad. They don't get somebody all the way to the final four. Yeah, gonna be real. You got 14. Oh, there's only 65. 60. Well, they got. I think they got what, the two play at 65. So you only got a handful. You only got. So basically you said a quarter of the damn finger. Yeah, it's going to be. It's going to be sad, Ocho. It's kind of. It's kind of like. It's kind of like, Ocho, you got in football, let's just say for the sake of argument, you got like four or five teams from the SEC. You only got a 12 team field.
- [37:30]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [37:30]
Shannon Sharpe
And you don't get nobody to play for the national championship. Yeah, it's going to be. It's going to be bad.
- [37:38]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, I don't. I don't. I don't have a date. I don't have the dates right in front of me. When does the tournament start exactly?
- [37:43]
Shannon Sharpe
Next Thursday.
- [37:44]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Next Thursday. You're not. Are you. Are you going to any of the games if it's close to you?
- [37:49]
Shannon Sharpe
No.
- [37:53]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Come on. Let's just say.
- [37:55]
Shannon Sharpe
Bro. Bro, I just. Bro, I just. I'm in eight cities in ten days. You think I want to get back on the plane and go see. No, bro. You like flying, you like traveling. I don't. I understand. It's a part of my job.
- [38:08]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [38:08]
Shannon Sharpe
But if I got some downtime, I'm taking it.
- [38:12]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, but I'm just saying, if I have tickets, which I probably will have, if I have tickets to a good game. Would you accompany me to a game? We sit courtside. Look, popcorn, hot dogs and.
- [38:22]
Shannon Sharpe
No, unfortunately, Ocho, I'll have to tell you. No, I'm gonna have to pass on that one, man.
- [38:27]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's messed up. That's cold. Ocho.
- [38:31]
Shannon Sharpe
I just left. I just left, bro. I was in my. I was just in your neck of the woods. You wasn't even there. You always talking. I'm holler at your boy. I'm in your neck of the woods.
- [38:40]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
But listen, you came to Miami not letting me know you were coming to Miami because if you were coming to Miami, I would have canceled a trip with my kids at the doctor and I would stay here just so I could have came and supported you. You know, with the left. I could have been. Matter of fact, I could have been your mascot with the La Portier bottle with the costume on.
- [38:59]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [39:01]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
For real.
- [39:03]
Shannon Sharpe
I need you to get a lounge and Sell my product in your lounge. That's what I need you to do.
- [39:07]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know what? Now that's a good idea with the way things are going right now. Me. Me, I'm, you know, a cigar lounge. What do you think about a cigar lounge? Yes, yes. 85 Place.
- [39:18]
Shannon Sharpe
Yes.
- [39:19]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
And in order to come in the 85 space, not only do you have to get a cigar, you have to first buy a bottle of La Portier.
- [39:27]
Shannon Sharpe
No, I mean. I mean, the thing. It pairs well with cigars, it pairs well with food. It'd be interesting to see what you. Some of your. Your drinkers, what they think, what. It pairs both best with something bold, you know? You know, you like a mild problem. Something mild. I mean, what do you like? You like something mild, you like something bold, you like something flavorful?
- [39:50]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I mean, for me, I like. I like my cigar depending on if I've eaten or not. If I. If I've eaten already, I like it. I like it heavy.
- [39:57]
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
- [39:58]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Heavy or spicy. If I haven't eaten, I want something mild.
- [40:01]
Shannon Sharpe
Okay?
- [40:02]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
No, nothing too strong. But for me, and the bad thing I like about it is La Portier. How you say it? Cognac.
- [40:11]
Shannon Sharpe
Cognac.
- [40:13]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
God damn it. Your cognac is doing so well. It's to the point where I want to try it. I continue as long as it's been for me. Listen, it's been 47 years. I have yet to have alcohol and consume it on a normal basis. Now, we had the live show in Vegas. It touched my tongue a little bit. It touched my tongue a little bit. But I still have yet to drink. And it's. It's itching me. As long as it's been, I've been still never had alcohol. I'm. I'm wanting to get into it. I want to get into wine. I keep learning about white wines. I'm learning about red wines. I'm learning about different cognacs and stuff like that. So I'm trying to hold off as long as I can and not be a drinker. And hey, I. I think I'll be able to do it. I think by the time I hit 50, I'm gonna start enjoying. Enjoying some. Some liquor.
- [41:01]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it's. We're doing really well, and that's thanks to everybody that's showing up. Like I said, Marilyn, I want to get. Take my hat off to you. Even Connecticut, they showed up, and I want to take my hat off to Connecticut. We're about to get distribution in Delaware. We're about to. In the next 60 to 90 days. We're about to be in NYC. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to coming back there and, and, and having signings and meeting some of the people. You know, obviously we have, we have the taste while you're there. So you can taste it before you buy it or after you buy it. And, and people, like I said, Ocho, people really love it. And I'm, I'm glad that was the thought process that when we came up with this idea. And we're a small batch cognac, we get to control it. We don't add anything additive, no artificial colors or of ingredients. But I can't thank that.
- [41:54]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I like that. You got, you got to tell your team. We got. Matter of fact, I'm gonna be on the next. All, all the next stops. You got.
- [42:03]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [42:03]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Tell Ash to give me a laporte costume and I'm gonna get, I'm gonna put, I'm gonna put it on and you know, the people be on the corner la. With the company side.
- [42:13]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, with the side. Spinning the side. Hey, hey.
- [42:23]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Why you sign? I'm gonna be right there. I'll be right there. Spinning. Spinning the sign with a constant. Yeah, we gonna get that thing jumping.
- [42:31]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, it's. But it's been great. But I mean, look, here's the thing, Ocho. And, and I tell people this with any business. For me, I understood that, you know, doing all my research and what it takes to the spirits company and being a celeb, because that's how they're gonna look at you. You're a celebrity. Yes. Especially the spirits or something like that. It's a process. You gotta grind. You gotta do a lot of work. Because sometimes I think celebrities think they can just slap their name on something and because of who they are. It doesn't work like that.
- [42:59]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Don't work like that.
- [43:00]
Shannon Sharpe
It really doesn't. And so I was very fortunate. And this is like a downtime for me right now, Ocho, before we start the tour. And so. And I told him, I said, look, give me time. If y'all are gracious enough to take, take on distribution of this product.
- [43:17]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [43:18]
Shannon Sharpe
Once my season is over and I get past the Super Bowl, I will come to every low. I will come to where you guys need me to come. I let they determine now the, the distributors deter. Determine what stores I'm going to go in. Now there's a prerequisite. You have to get X amount of cases. But with that being said, they determine it. Total Wines has been one of our biggest One probably right now, the biggest retailer. They've been great from the jump. We started out in Nevada, Ocho with Lee's Liquor. They were amazing. We went to Houston specs. Ms. Lindy, thank you again for the hospitality. Everybody has been great. When I go into a gsm, which is a general sales meeting, and look those distributors in the eye and they see the passion in which I talk about this product, they see I've done the research and the homework and went over there and to learn as much as I could. Not only did I read about it, I've gone to the region. I'm going back again to understand what a VSOP is. A very special old pale something ruled between four and six years. And, you know, you go, you know, you know, an XO and an xxo, and then you start getting to the specialty names and you know, the process it has to originate the first two years in that region, which is cognac.
- [44:35]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [44:35]
Shannon Sharpe
And it has to go through a process. Oh, man. But it's well worthy. Like, damn. I feel like I know something. And so when I show up and I talk to them, they're like, okay, yeah, he. Yeah, yeah.
- [44:48]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
He's serious.
- [44:48]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, he ain't no. Hey, he ain't. Somebody just gave. No, no, no, no, no, no. So they. They want to see, like, y'all. Total Wines has been unbelievable. Lee's Liquor, Spanx, abc. We're about to have distribution. We got it in Florida now.
- [45:05]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, I'm.
- [45:06]
Shannon Sharpe
So. I'll be. I'll be back down. I think the next time they're probably gonna have me to come to the Orlando area. So I'm. I. I'm extremely, extremely excited.

Racket makers were not kind to Michigan. Michigan is the biggest losers in this year's field. Ocho the Wolverines are number five seed in the south despite beating Michigan, excuse me, Wisconsin for the Big Ten championship. Meanwhile, the Badgers are the three seed in the East. Michigan also plays in Denver, plays On Thursday in Denver, giving them a short turnaround time to recover from the ground of the Big Ten tournament. And the Wolverines will take on the number 12, UC San Diego, which ended the regular season at number 35 in their ranking after going 30 and 4 and 4 and 2 against Quad 1 and Quad 2 competition. Damn. Say, hey. Here's your reward for winning the Big Ten. Get your ass on the road on Thursday. Yeah. And play and play a top tier opponent. Look at some point in time, whether it's early or late, the further you go, the better the competition is going to get every time. That's just the way it works. That's just the. It ain't going to be no low. I mean, you might think someone's easy in the beginning, but eventually it's gonna, you know, you're gonna get your comeuppance.
- [49:41]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm ready. That's all. That's all I know.
- [49:48]
Shannon Sharpe
You ready? St. John's earned the number two seed in the tournament. Rick Pitino's second season as head coach. This is now his 16 that Pitino has coached, has taken to the NCAA tournament. He coached Boston University, Providence, Kentucky, Louisville, Iona and St. John's he had led team the 1996 Kentucky team and the 2013 Louisville team, which had to be vacated. Man, stop vacating. They won that title. All that bull job. He largely found success after taking over programs that were struggling before his arrival. Because he can coach. He good.
- [50:30]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah, very. No matter. No matter where he goes.
- [50:34]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah. Look at Coach Saban. Look at what he did, where we went. Look at with the. Alabama. Went to lsu. They win the national championship. He goes to Alabama and he becomes the greatest college coach at the time of all time. Same thing with Urban. Urban was at Bowling Green. Look at what he did at Bowling Green. Look at what he did in Utah. Look at what he did in Florida. Look at what he did in Ohio State. It's hard to. It's hard to argue that level of success when you go and the program elevates. National champ, national championships. Came to Florida back to back. Yeah, Coach Saban, back to back. They win in the sec. You know, they go into the. Playing for the national championship damn near every year. I mean, he won six. But how many times? He lost to Clemson twice in the national championship game. He lost to Georgia in the championship game. That's three times he lost. He lost to Ohio State before he got there once. So hold on. Huh?
- [51:40]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Who you got? You still ain't mentioned. I said I got St. John winning the whole thing. Who you got winning? North Carolina's your team.
- [51:47]
Shannon Sharpe
They've been my team. They ain't winning. They not winning. And I can't pick Duke. I can't pick Duke. Wait, wait, wait.
- [51:53]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
What you mean you can't pick Duke?
- [51:55]
Shannon Sharpe
I can't pick Duke. That's Burns team. We are not allowed to pick each other's team.
- [52:00]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay, okay, so you just.
- [52:03]
Shannon Sharpe
I wish. I don't. Look here. If everybody said we forfeited, I'm still taking somebody other than Duke, okay? I'm not taking Duke.
- [52:11]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
So if you. If you had. If you had money. If you had money in the tournament, you just basically you putting your money down the drain.
- [52:16]
Shannon Sharpe
Whatever. I ain't taking Duke.
- [52:18]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay?
- [52:19]
Shannon Sharpe
That ain't happening. That's a. Cause one year, that joker we used to. We used to pick brackets. And one year I had the Joker beat. And then he took. He ended up taking Carolina, in which they won. And he beat me. So I came out with like, no, you cannot take my team. You cannot. We cannot pick each other's team no more.
- [52:40]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay? I got you.
- [52:41]
Shannon Sharpe
I got you. No. No. Hell no. So that's how. That's how that goes. I'm not picking Duke. Like I said, I've been a. And I. I'm trying to think. I've been a Carolina fan since 81. When they had. This week, they had Al Wood, Jimmy Black, James Worthy. People don't remember that. That goes way back. They lost out. They lost to Bobby Knight, Isaiah. Isaiah Thomas was on that team. He was the most outstanding player. They had Wedman, they had Rolando Turner, who ended up getting paralyzed shortly after he flipped his car. And he ended up getting paralyzed. So I've been a Carolina fan that long ago? 40 years. But. And he. He. I don't know why this joker looked. I think because I think Grant Hill from Virginia. He's Grant Hiller from Virginia. And so that's his team. No, no, no, no.
- [53:38]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I got you. All right.
- [53:42]
Shannon Sharpe
That'S not happening. Ocho. Now to the more exciting selection, the women's March magic selection. The UCLA Lady Bruins are the number one overall seed for the first time in program history. Normally they're known for softball. Normally volleyball.
- [54:00]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [54:00]
Shannon Sharpe
Even beach volleyball. But not now basketball. Now the new ladies of Westwood. The first 31 seat, 30 win season in program history. They're 30 and two, both losses, if I'm not mistaken, came to the USC Lady Trojan.
- [54:17]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [54:18]
Shannon Sharpe
And it's their first number one ranking. And associated front the third time the team has held it for 12 consecutive weeks. Corey Close team, after losing in the Sweet 16 the past two seasons, is seeking his first ever trip to the Final Four. Yeah. Stanford misses the tournament for the first time since 1987. The Cardinals will miss the end of the streak of 36 consecutive appearances. Only Tennessee, which has made the tournament every year since the tournament began in 1982, has had a longer run. Look, I can't believe that Stanford didn't make it. You know the great coach Tara vanDiver, she won two national championships and when she had Jennifer Azy had a great team, obviously we know what Coach Summit did. Coach somebody, what this thing was all about. She is. She is. She is. She's a Mount Rushmore coaching woman's women's college basketball. Yeah. She is the standard bearer. Her and coach Gino. But these the talent spreading out now, Ocho.
- [55:36]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [55:36]
Shannon Sharpe
Cause before everybody went to Tennessee, Everybody went to UConn. And that's why you got UConn of Connecticut damn near playing every year now. They started spreading out, they started going to Baylor and they started going to, you know, a couple of other teams and you know, like. Oh damn.
- [55:53]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah. And listen, just like football, when it comes to nil, I'm not saying nil is a reason, but the fact that the ladies are willing to go other places now because I'm sure there are reasons behind that. You know, it evens the playing field and it gets some of these other teams in the tournaments and gets some of these other schools, you know, winning natties now for a chance. South Carolina.
- [56:18]
Shannon Sharpe
South Carolina. Yeah. We owe the Lady Gamecocks, Coach Staley. You know they got, they have had some, you know it started with Asia.
- [56:26]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Yeah.
- [56:26]
Shannon Sharpe
Then they have Aaliyah, Boston and then they had those women, Courtney Cordova who's most outstanding player last year. We know Coach Staley when she was at Virginia, I think she went. She didn't win a national championship, but she had her team there every single year in the final four at the end of the fast food tournaments, undefeated. The lady game cost a 33 which is still ultra elite. Their losses, UCLA in November to UConn in Texas in February. But they also lost the SEC regular season CO championship. Texas twice, including Elite BE. They beat Texas. Didn't Lady Gamecock beat Texas? Oh wait, you said. Hold on, you got. They also beat the SEC co champion. Oh, they beat. They beat Texas twice, including in the championship. Yeah, look, she can coach. I mean I never thought, I never thought that pro. That just goes to show you that coaching matters. At that level, because the Lady Gamecocks, if I'm not mistaken, I think Don was at Rutgers when she had Rutgers at. Or Temple. Temple. She might have been at Alma mater Temple. And she gets that because I think Ms. Stringer. C. Vivian Stringer was at Rutgers. But anyway, they get. Coach Staley. Hey.
- [57:51]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Took off.
- [57:52]
Shannon Sharpe
This is what I can do. Y'all check my resume. Wouldn't play of the year, gold medal, blah, blah, blah. They get Asia Wilson, and they start getting. They start getting these. They started getting these women, and they go to Leo, Boston, and they get Cordova, and they get boom, boom, boom. And next thing you know, here we are.
- [58:12]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
It's a trickle effect.
- [58:13]
Shannon Sharpe
It is.
- [58:14]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
They keep on. They keep on coming one after the other.
- [58:17]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was at Temple. She was at Temple before because, you know, she's a. She's a Philly kid. Kid. She's a Philly lady. She went to. She was from Philly, goes to Virginia, so. Yes, but hey, usc, I'm sure. Usc. Yes, a few weeks ago. Go ahead.
- [58:39]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I'm gonna say that. That. That tournament is gonna be really good, huh? South Carolina, USC, Texas, obviously all secured number one seeds. Again, for me, I got St. John with the men's and with the women's, I'm going with usc, and I'm simply. Listen, I'm going. I'm going with juju. But juju's phenomenal. You know, she's arguably the best player in the country. She's dominant. She's a dominant scorer. She can do it. Listen, she could drive you. She can put it. Put it on the floor mid range. Listen, she hit you from. She hit you from three. She averaging 25. I mean, in high pressure moments. In high pressure moments. When you need it. When you need it best. I'm not saying she's Colby, but she got that Mamba mentality. Based on what I've seen.
- [59:34]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah.
- [59:35]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
When it matters most. And I got to have it, man, I need that rock. I need that ball.
- [59:41]
Shannon Sharpe
She trained with the guys. O. Joe. She trained with the guys. Phil Handy does a lot of work with her. Yeah, she got a great Cardoza. I think that's her name. Isn't that one that went number five? She might have went number two overall to Chicago Sky. Is it Cardoza? Ash, he had Cardoso. Cardoso. Okay. But when you look at juju and you look at the way she plays, her game reminds me of Maya Moore's, okay? She got a jump shot. She could score at all three levels. She can shoot the Three ball. She got a tremendous mid range game. She can put the ball on the floor. You watch her, she can finish at the rim. She got a nice step through. She got a nice euro step. She's unbelievable. She's a complete. Yeah, she's completely. Yes, sir. She's the closest thing that I've seen since to mile Moore, since Maya Moore.
- [60:39]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [60:42]
Shannon Sharpe
I'm sure she. They're disappointed they didn't finish winning the tournament today. It is what it is now because at the end of the year, you want to win the tournament. You want to win as many things you can. You play, you start the season off, you go to these tournaments, you want to win that, you get to each other. You want to win the regular season, you want to win the, the postseason, and then you want to win the national Championship.
- [61:02]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hey, at the end of the day.
- [61:03]
Shannon Sharpe
Win the national Championship, all is forgiven.
- [61:05]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I don't mean to interrupt you. Breaking news. Bangle, Jamar Chase and T. Higgins exclusively tell me they've agreed to a contract extension with the team. Jamar gets four years, 161 million with 112 million. 112 million guaranteed, making him the highest paid non quarterback in NFL history. T. Higgins get four years, 115. 115 with the first two years guaranteed, making him the highest paid wide receiver too in NFL history.
- [61:34]
Shannon Sharpe
Wow.
- [61:34]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Congratulations, brother Jamar Chase, brother T. Higgins, they got that deal done. Joe Burrow. I know Joe is happy, very happy to keep that, keep that unit together. Obviously me, I didn't, I didn't. I didn't think it would be possible. I didn't think it would be possible. Obviously. I can't break down the numbers right now in front of me, but the fact, fact that Joe was able to keep the, the two main targets. Yeah, yeah. Take, take, keep the two main guys together, man. Is a really good thing. And that, that's a step in the right direction for us and finishing. You know what we need to, to get back to the promised land at the end of the season. So I'm happy, I'm happy for them. I mean, I'm excited and kudos to the Blackburn family, to Mike Brown and getting that done. And let's get some work on that defense in now.
- [62:33]
Shannon Sharpe
Yeah, I don't see how they pay Trey Hendrickson. He wants north of 30 million, right? Yeah, I don't see how. I'm not saying it can't be done. I just don't see how.
- [62:46]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Do you think it's possible to still pay Trace? Well, what do you Think. I mean, that's tying all the money up. And just in. In four players, he go.
- [62:57]
Shannon Sharpe
He don't want. He won't. North of 30, right. Man has 35 sacks in two years. Nobody touched. Nobody has that many sacks in the past two years.
- [63:06]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Right.
- [63:06]
Shannon Sharpe
He's been a Pro Bowler both years. I. I just don't. Like I said it. Could it happen? Yes. The question is that you have to ask yourself, Ocho, is the opportunity to go to the super bowl, potentially win it over the next two years? Is that worse? Is that worth potentially being a salary cap held in 27, 28? Right. Well, also, this is about 25, 26, Ocho. This is what this is about, right?
- [63:35]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Well, you know, listen, there's a way you can get out of salary. Salary cap hell is by continuing to restructure those that have large contracts. Restructuring takes.
- [63:45]
Shannon Sharpe
But all you're doing is kicking it down the road, right? You don't do anything. You kick it down the road because that. Yeah, that balloon, baby, gonna come due now.
- [63:51]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Oh, at some point. At some point. But, hey, congratulations. I. I know. I know all on. Listen, I know my Bengal fans. I know know y'all happy, man. Zim Houde, I love you. The deal has gotten done. I'm excited. I'm happy. I'm happy for both of them. I just want to make sure we do what we need to do on the defensive end of the ball. We had problems. Our issues offensively. It just started late. Just start late in the beginning of the season. We need to fix that. Fix that. Will, when. I think. I think we going to be all right, but we need to work on that defensive side of the ball and get some. Get some offseason acquisitions in, you know, some help on defense, and I think we gonna be all right. All right. Yeah. Who they?
- [64:37]
Shannon Sharpe
O.J. brooks. Breaking news. Higgins and Chase are back.
- [64:41]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That.
- [64:43]
Shannon Sharpe
I mean, let's see. 41. That's 71. Joe Burrow. So that's $126 million annually tied up in three players.
- [64:55]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
That's life. How much. How much is that tied between two, huh?
- [65:00]
Shannon Sharpe
55 million for Joe, 41 for Chase, 30 for Higgins.
- [65:06]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay. Oh, 30. That's good, too.
- [65:08]
Shannon Sharpe
That's 126 million.
- [65:12]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I like that.
- [65:14]
Shannon Sharpe
That means if you sign. If you sign. If you sign Hendrickson, that's a hundred, and that's a hundred. That'd be over 150 million. So you'll have half your cap. Over half your cap in four players. I just don't see how to do it. We'll see how they do it.
- [65:32]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on. I think it's going to pay off. This is something. Have the Bengals ever rolled the dice like this before?
- [65:40]
Shannon Sharpe
No.
- [65:41]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Has Mike Brown ever rolled the dice? If you won't change, sometimes you have to do things different. The definition of insanity and doing the same thing over and over and over and over and getting the same results and expecting something to change the fact that he's willing to change the fact that the Blackburn family and the Mike Brown family are willing to do something different. It lets you know, all right, you know what? We are intent on winning. We're intent on winning and doing what's necessary to make sure we do for one to contend in AFC north and then further ourselves in the playoffs when the time comes. I like it. I like it. I'm excited. I'm excited. I saw T. Higgins just tweeted T Higgin just tweeted the handshake. Handshake emoji. That's dope. That's tight. That's tight. I'm happy. I'm excited. Yeah. So when we win the AFC north.
- [66:36]
Shannon Sharpe
You know why Ain't happening. Did the Ravens trade l. Jack.
- [66:41]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's. That's. This. That's not what we got. This. This. What we not gonna do this. This is not what we gonna do the AFC north this year. I'm not talking about what's happened in the past. I'm talking about this year. It's running through Cincinnati. It's running through 5, 1, 3. I'm just letting you know ahead of time.
- [66:59]
Shannon Sharpe
Hey, no one has ever said the road to the super bowl goes through Cincinnati.
- [67:05]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
You know what they're not about and you know what happened. No one has ever seen Mike Brown and Troy and Katie do what they've done today.
- [67:15]
Shannon Sharpe
Okay.
- [67:16]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
Okay.
- [67:17]
Shannon Sharpe
All right.

Just a few weeks ago, Notre Dame was ranked number one team in the country. Since then, the beginning of the Defeated double overtop, DMC State. The average. The Irish have lost three of their past five games. The Select Selection Committee seemed to punish them for their sloppy finish, giving them the number three seed in Birmingham region. That's a tough draw, Truffle. A tougher draw than the Irish expected. But Notre dame beat Texas, USC, UConn, North Carolina, Duke in the regular season, a particular collection of impressive wins that no other team in the country can boast. Well, South Carolina got. Let me look at South Carolina, South Carolina, ucla, Southern Cal. Hell, I might just take. I might take the three number one seeds and know today that is because you. A lot of times, don't you. You don't get the same. The upsets, right, in the women's game like you do the men's game, right? So I can't pick the same team you pick. I gotta pick somebody different.
- [72:05]
Chad Ochocinco Johnson
I mean, listen, if you knew what was best for you, if you knew better, you'll do better. So it's okay to pick. It's okay to pick one. It's okay to pick one. Picking.

Listen, I told you in 2025, I didn't. I didn't put myself back into fashion again. I ain't put clothes on in about 27 years. And I told myself, you Know what? This year I'm gonna step. I'm gonna step all year long, which is out of character for me because I don't really. I'm a lazy dresser most of the time and have been for 20 some plus years. And you know, I say I'm treating myself in 20, 25. I'm gonna put some clothes on. So I spent your 5200 on outfits.
