[Shannon Sharpe]

The packers for the first time in his career, Aaron Rodgers made it clear he will retire as a Packer when that day comes. Rogers said this past summer he's pretty sure 2025 will be his final season, and if it is, indeed, he plans to own a ceremony, ceremoniously leaving the game as a Packer. I was up there for 18 years. Regardless of when I hang it up, that's the bulk of my career. I'll retire Packer and see what happens after that. I've got a love for that, for that organization and my time there. They asked this week, is it a revenge game or whatever? What do I got to be? What do I got to avenge here? They made me ton of money. True. I grew up there, spent some of the best years of my life there. I've got nothing but love for this organization.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Listen, Aaron Rodgers is in a good place. Aaron Rodgers in is in a good place for the simple fact that he gets to control his future. Yeah, the Steelers. The Steelers don't have an answer at the quarterback position.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nope.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Aaron Rodgers is coming back. Mike Tomlin and the Rooneys are going to ask Aaron Rogers to come back. How much you need, what you need is to give you. Because the way he's playing, the way he's playing this year, there's a resurgence in him. There's resurgence in him, you know, and if they're going to have a chance, if they're going to have an opportunity, if they're going to be able to compete as a, as an organization, as a franchise, they're going to want number eight to come back and they're willing to give him what he needs to do so he's not going to retire. I'm even at 41, 42, whatever it may be, he's going to be feeling that much better because whatever they pay him is going to make him feel better, I think. Don't make him feel better.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree. I think the thing is, Ocho, is that he wanted to be wanted. He wants to feel appreciated. And he feels. He feels that for the first time in a long time. Yes. Because what happened is that when you don't re. Extend him, you're telling me you don't want me. Then you go draft a quarterback. You're really telling me you don't want me. And then all this stuff starts leaking out. Well, Aaron Rodgers was not informed about the quarterback. Nobody needed to know that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nobody needed to know that. The general, the owner, what was his name? Picks up the call and say, Aaron Rodgers, don't you be the problem. Nobody don't need to know that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So he felt they were going behind his back, undermining him, making them look bad.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

When it wasn't necessary.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It goes to the Jets. The jets wanted him for whatever reason. It didn't work out there. And then you hear all the stuff start creeping out of the locker room. Now you really haven't heard anything come out of Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin wants him. He says, Mike Tomlin did not put no pressure on me, saying, when you gonna sign? When you gonna come up here? Yeah, when can we show you around? He said Tomlin didn't do any of that. And he was very appreciative of, of him giving him his space and allowing him time to make the decision that, can I commit? Can I give them a year? Can I give them an absolute year where I'm totally focused on the game of football. He seems to be at a better place in his life. He's gotten married. Reports are. I mean, that's what he said. I didn't know reports. He said he's gotten married. He says he's in a great headspace. He's playing like he's in a great headspace. But at the end of the day, uh huh. He wanted to be wanted. Yeah, he wanted to be. He wanted to be appreciated. And he felt his last several years in Green Bay. Now he might have felt that, but that doesn't. They still took him in the first round. They still. He won four MVPs there. He won a Super bowl there, he won an MVP there. He cut his teeth as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No matter what happened in New York or Pittsburgh, everybody's going to remember him as a Green Bay Packer.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Absolutely. Absolutely. So those New York years, these years in Pittsburgh, whether it be one, whether it be two, Whether it be three, will never override or overshadow what he did in, in Green Bay. He will always be a Packer in the eyes of those that understand and watch the game of football over the years.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Always. Yes. And so, you know, I think that's great when, when the guys that spend the bulk of their career somewhere and they get an opportunity to come back and the team is welcoming them with open arms, you sign the one day contract and you retire. You retire as a, as a, as a member of the team that you broke in with and you're most common, commonly known for. I don't know if Brady did that. I don't know if Brady. But even though Brady won a Super Bowl, Brady, Brady's gonna be remembered as.

[Chad Ochocinco]

A Patriot no matter what.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think he had three years, he won a Super bowl, he threw for 5,000 yards. But in the eyes of everybody, he's a Patriot.

[Chad Ochocinco]

The Patriot. Absolutely. Hey, matter of fact.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know what, Ocho?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

A lot of people still, they, they look at Peyton Manning as a Bronco because they see him at all the Bronco games. He does the. He lives in Denver.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He lives in Denver. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He lives in Denver. He's so, I mean, he's at all the game. I know he wants to be the, the, the teams have skyrocketed. The value of teams. He wants to own a team, but to own 40% of a team. Ocho, he took a $4 billion.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're talking 50%. Oh, so you want to be the majority owner. So you got to own at least 50% of the team, right? That's five. That's, you know, four or five. Four billion. Three and a half. Four billion dollars.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And, and, and the value is they aren't coming down.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, listen, the mad market would never come down.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ever. Damn, man. That's crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it's gonna be. I, I'm. Look at the end of the day, and that's what I say. That's why all the time it's hard to go to work when you're not, when you're not happy or you feel unappreciated, you feel you're not appreciated. It's hard, Ocho. Hey, man, you make all that money. I don't give a d about this.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Money don't mean that. Money don't mean nothing, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm happy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hold on. We know what it feel like for one to be happy. Yes. What it feel like to be appreciated and happy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And then you add someone actually Wanting you on top of that. Well, you talking about that's a trifecta that is undefeated for individual. Whether it be. Whether it be in sports, whether it be in the corporate world, or whether it be in a relationship with somebody, man, there's nothing better than that feeling of being appreciated and being wanted. It's one of the greatest feelings in the world. Like, I love when my kids ask me for something. Huh? I love when they ask me for something. And there's an appreciation to it that I'm able to provide whatever it may be that they want. Sometimes it's not within reason because you don't need it, right? But the fact that I can tell you why you don't need it, but the fact that I can in a position to be able to do like that. That feel good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I told my kids, don't ask me for nothing till 20, 27, cuz. I ain't got it. I ain't got it. I don't know. I ain't got it. I ain't got. Your daddy ain't got it. You daddy ain't got it. Now they know they solid. They know. Hey, hey.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hell no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look, when they come to me, I already know. They did. They thought long. They thought long and hard before they asked Daddy.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, listen. What One, one. My baby hit me today. Daddy, what you doing? I responded back, how much? I mean, listen, I would call. I would call to see how you were doing. I was just calling to see how you checking and checking.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you ain't. You ain't. You a. You ain't never called. Ask y' all doing.

You're about to jump in your tour bus. And we had like three hours play the record for him. We'd kind of like got a scratch and then he handled on his own on the road.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Yeah, it was really cool. He really just like randomly showed up to my house and like, oh, hey Diplo, what are you doing? He's like, I have a song that I want to show you. And I was like, okay. And then now we're here playing it live.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you got a very special guest joining us tonight. Tied for the league league in sacks with nine. A third round pick out of the University of Tennessee Volunteer. He grew up the youngest of 13 siblings. Wow. Byron Young Rams. Los Angeles Rams. Bro, how you doing?

[Byron Young]

I'm doing great, man. Appreciate y' all having me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, bro. Appreciate you coming on.

[Byron Young]

Sir, yes sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You on one side, Jerry Verse on the other. You got the big guy pushing collapsing the pocket. How fun is it rushing the passer in that situation because it's first come, first serve. You know, you got to get off because Verse on the other side.

[Byron Young]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's always a, you know, race to the quarterback. You know, I saying like this, you know, saying, you know, meet me there, beat me there. You know, having Braden fist Kobe turning in the middle with Jared Verse on the other end. You know, you have no choice but to get off. So, you know, they just motivate me and push me to go harder.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I was reading the story back in 2018. You was working the ship at Burger King and Dollar General. You saw a flyer on the store bulletin board. It's like Georgia Military College holding open trials for football. Yeah, hold on. You're like, hold on.

[Byron Young]

Man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me take this apron, this fry cap off, and get back. So did you play football in high school?

[Byron Young]

Yes, sir, I played in high school. I just really wasn't recruited for real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Really nice.

[Byron Young]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you go. So you go. You go try out. So. So what. What did they have you do? You had to run drill. You had to run a 40. So what did you want? What did you. What did this trial encompass?

[Byron Young]

Basically, it was a 40. Kind of like what you said you had to do the bench press at 225. You had to do, like, change directions and like, they basically were doing, like, measurements.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Byron Young]

To see where you were at. And that was kind of like, it for the most part. It was like 100, 100 guys there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Were you the only one that made it?

[Byron Young]

I was. I was the only one that made it off the spot. So, like, it was other guys that got called back because you kind of. It's like two tryouts. You kind of, like, have the second try on in the spring when you kind of have spring ball. But I was like, want to make the team from that, though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wow.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, hey. Most of the time when you're growing up, too, obviously in the NFL, you play defense in. When you were younger, what position did you play?

[Colin Coward]

I know you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I know you weren't playing DN Back then.

[Byron Young]

No, I played running back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What?

[Chad Ochocinco]

You were toting that ball. You were toting the p. What?

[Byron Young]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I played running back all through high school. That's why I'm, like, always big fans.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right. So at what point did you. Did your body. Did. Did your body, you know, grow into. Actually, now I can be on the defensive side of all. And you got a little bigger.

[Byron Young]

Well, actually, my senior year, like, I was, like, big in high school, but my senior year, I played both sides.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Byron Young]

And I Play a stand up linebacker my senior year of high school, so it's kind of like transition after that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are you from Georgia?

[Byron Young]

No, I'm from Georgetown, but I moved to Georgia after I graduated high school in 2020.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Georgetown, South Carolina.

[Byron Young]

Georgetown, South Carolina. Yes sir.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, matter of fact, you know what, I gotta look, I got a small look, you ain't know this, right? See, Hey, B y, you ain't know I know this. You and Melissa Jefferson come from the same small town too.

[Byron Young]

Oh yeah, yeah, we went to the, we went to the same high school, it was on the same track team.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ah, wait, you ran track too?

[Byron Young]

Yeah, I ran track my senior year.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Wait, what, what, what race?

[Byron Young]

I was on the four by one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, okay, okay, so you, you, you, you get called. So how did you, how did you end up at Tennessee?

[Byron Young]

Honestly, that was the first Power 5 school to offer me, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, really?

[Byron Young]

Yes sir. Yes sir, it was, I feel like it was a sign from God, so, you know, I just went with them, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you, hey, you got a playing in the sec, so was that always your dream, to play in the NFL? You just had a, you took a little detour, took you a little while, but hey, you ended up where you ended up and you got to ultimately your ultimate destination. Was that always your goal? So what, what did Byron wanted to be when he was growing up? When he was a kid? He was 8, 9, 10 years of age, what did you want to be?

[Byron Young]

I always wanted to be in the NFL. I always wanted to go in the NFL. I'll be lying to you if I told you that I just knew this, this would have happened like based off my journey, but like my mindset was I just never wanted to quit. You know, I always like wanting to somehow get back into playing football, but I really just didn't know how that would look like, you know, growing up like just being around a lot of people that really didn't really make it to the NFL. So it's kind of hard to kind of navigate and find your ways through there. So like, you know, it was just unpredictable, but I always kept faith.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Wow, that's that man, that's unbelievable. That's an unbelievable story. So you get, so you go to University of Tennessee, you have an outstanding collegiate career, and now it's draft. So what were the scouts telling you? Did you know, you go, did they tell you, okay, you might be a first round pick, you could be a late first round pick, early second. Did they tell you, day one, day two? What, what, what, what were you Hearing when you were coming out, I was.

[Byron Young]

Really hearing day two, some said possibly day three, but mostly it was day two. My biggest knock was my age. So I was like an older guy, like how mature I was with my age. So it really will always day two, but possibly day three because of that. So.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You found the home now rushing the pastor. This is your third year, right?

[Byron Young]

Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So you did you get. So you got one year with A.D.

[Byron Young]

Got one year with A.D. oh yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, can you. Do you. Do you sit back and think, say, man, can I imagine me verse AD right now knowing what I know now Verse knowing what he knows now and you talking about arguably the greatest defensive tackle to ever play, one of the five greatest defensive players. And the way our office can score and be and we are head. And now I just get to hunt the quarterback. They got the double 99.

[Byron Young]

They got to what I think about that every day. I just feel like I took some, you know, something.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I feel like I took it for.

[Byron Young]

Granted a little bit my rookie year, but I just said I was learning, you know, I was growing. But like now I just look back in my 30, I was like, man, if we, if we could have him too. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, you know, I'm just thankful that I had one year, you know, with him and him, you know, teaching me things and, you know, just. Just being my mentor and stuff.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What were some of the things that he taught you? So to watch him. Obviously he plays the three to five. It's a different. You mainly edge. You're on the edge normally, occasionally you put your hand in dirt, but you like to rush the passer from a stand up position, sir.

[Byron Young]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Stand up. Kind of was doing that at Tennessee for the most part. That's when I kind of started dropping though. So stand up outside linebacker. But you know, being with AD and some of the things he kind of taught me, just be patient, you know, I feel like as a rookie, you always trying to be perfect. You always not trying to make mistakes. So I feel like coming in, I script so much about like I'm trying to be perfect. I'm not trying to do this wrong. And you know, he always just said, you know, just be patient. Just let it come to you, you know, like you're going to make mistakes and just learn from him. But, you know, that was something that always stuck with me.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And so coming into the season, obviously, would it be your third year, you obviously, you have team goals, but have your personal goals, obviously I'm sure the sacks and. And the. The. The. The trajectory you are on right now so far this season. Are there any other goals you had set in mind from an individual's perspective going into this season?

[Byron Young]

Oh. Oh, definitely. Making my first Pro bowl, you know, being all Pro, you know, that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's.

[Byron Young]

That's always been a dream come true for me. You know, that's something I always wanted. You know, just, you know, just watching the guys I looked up to, like Vaughn Miller and those guys like that, like one of my favorite players ever, and just watch how they just go about business. And, you know, every year making a Pro bowl and it's just like, that's something I always wanted to do. So coming into, you know, my third year, my goal is, you know, off here, of course, as a team, make it to the Super Bowl. But for myself, all probably, you know, Pro bowl, you know, and defense player of the year. That's why I'm looking. That's why I'm reaching, you know, every. Every day I work. That's why, you know, that's what I'm trying to accomplish.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So, you know, by. The easiest thing you'll do is make it to the Pro bowl once. Now, what happens when they get that? You know what we're gonna sit our game playing to. By now, we slide the protection. Now we have the back chip on his way out. Now we have the tight end chip on his way out. Now, the second Pro bowl, the third Pro bowl, those are the ones that get hard because now they know what you can do. And now you have expectations for yourself. The fans, management, they have greater expectations because they saw what you've done. You've gone to the Pro Bowl. You're like, hey, I got nine sacks. Hold on. I think we got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. We got nine more. We got nine, ten.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hold on. If I get a sack of game, get a couple two sack game, man, I can get 20 sacks. Oh, yeah, and now you're like, oh, 20 sacks.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, they don't have to come see you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They pay big bucks for 20 sacks. 20 sacks. Hey, I go back. I go back about all of Georgetown.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Hey, what's the name? Stan. Stan what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Stan Cronky?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Tell stan we want 49 a year. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Hey, 50. Hey, so. So coming into the sea, obviously, you know, your third year, what are some of the things you work on? Look, you got great get off. Obviously, you can convert speed to power. So. So what. What. What was you working on in the office. Because each year you work on something to try to improve, to get better. Because sometimes the moves that you work worked on that work. This year, it might not work. I'm not getting rid of them, but I gotta have another trick in my bag that I need to pull out. Especially when I got to get off the field. We got to make sure we get off the field. We got to make sure we keep them out of field goal range. We got to make sure we keep them out of the end zone. So what was some of the things that you was working on this. This offseason by, you know, this offseason?

[Byron Young]

Going into my third year, just looking back at my first two years, I just feel like I wanted to take a different approach. So I took on, you know, Pilates. I started doing Pilates three days out the week just to build my body and, you know, just how.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Strengthen that core, get flexible.

[Byron Young]

Yeah, working them little muscles, you know what I'm saying? For longevity and stuff like that, and to help prevent injury. So I feel like doing pilates definitely help my body type in, help me being able to dig, then getting off the ball faster, you know, flexibility and everything. Bending the corner, you know, how I do. So it's like those. Some of the things that I was doing, I was really consistent at it. I feel like I seen the different things that helped and just putting in extra work, you know, getting more get offs, working my technique more, getting more film studies, studying myself, you know, and studying where I lacked last my last two years. And I was just trying to improve from that. So my goal every time I step on the field is improve, you know, something that I didn't do good yesterday. Whether it's get off, whether it's foster, whether. And use my hands, you know, whether. Hell if I always try and just like get better at something, you know, every practice. So that's kind of my approach that was taking OTAs and count, being more attention.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You guys still run the hoop, that circle that, you know, you try to ride it and stay as low as you possibly can. Y' all still do that?

[Byron Young]

Well, we kind of do that. We kind of do something else with the medicine ball. We, like, have the medicine ball. We kind of fill up our hips, but we kind of like do it around the whole hoop, but we don't. I know what you're talking about. We don't really do like that too much.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So when. At the end of this season. Look, hey, you're a third round pick. Oh, they got to come see you after this year. Yeah. They gotta come see you by. Oh, so you going crazy. You really try to leave. I was going to get this 20 piece out here.

[Byron Young]

That's always the goal, is just, you know, try to get to that second deal. So I'm definitely working for that. For sure.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Byron Young]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, congratulations on all your success, man. I mean, it wasn't. Oh, let me ask you this. The youngest of 13. How many. How many. How many brothers? How many. How many boys? How many girls?

[Byron Young]

Nine boys and four girls.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you the youngest?

[Byron Young]

I'm the youngest. Yeah, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mom and pop wasn't playing.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's dope.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's dope.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's last.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, so. So I'm talking about. So when y' all get. Oh, Georgetown. So y' all eat some. Anything down there. I know about that low country.

[Byron Young]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All the hogs. Y' all put everything in a pot. They call it potluck, Ocho. They put it all in the pot. You lucky it don't kill you. But they gonna eat good.

[Byron Young]

Nah, not facts. You're gonna eat good when you go back home.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So. So what was it like? So you go to the NFL? Is there anybody from Georgetown? How close is Georgetown? The Monks corner to, like, Somerville and Charles. That. How close are you to that?

[Byron Young]

Charleston's like an hour away from Georgia our way. Yeah. It's not.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not too crazy, is it? Is there any four. Hold on. I think. Where is. I think if Jumpy gathers from down your way.

[Byron Young]

Yeah, yeah. That's my family. They're from Choppy. They from around the way in Georgetown, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I played with Jumpy.

[Byron Young]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I played with your bad jumping. Oh, Lord. Jumping the country is, man. Hey, I don't know what he had, but he had some stuff in a green bottle. He rub it on his knee, rub it on his ankle, and then drank it. He talking about, you want to try something? I said, nah, I'm good. You know, my knee don't hurt no more now.

[Byron Young]

Them boys be different over there for sure.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You got home remedies like that.

[Byron Young]

I mean, not like that, but we got some stuff that we do. But that was. Yeah, I ain't never heard of that. That's probably way back in the day.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let's see what this season and what it unfolds for Mocho Uh oh. Ocho. Bengals linebacker and team captain Logan Wilson has requested a trade. The six year player has started all seven of his appearances this season. However, the team captain has seen his role reduced over the course of season. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. Have received the bulk of the defensive snaps this season. Ocho Would it be a mistake for them to trade a veteran player the captain of the defense and they're already struggling? What's going on?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Ocho Absolutely not. It would not. It would not be wrong. I'm not sure. You probably don't watch the Bangles the way I watch them. Anybody in the chat that watches the Bengals on defense, even though we're not playing, playing up to par, obviously, offense being our identity. If you watch Demetrius Knight, if you watch Demetrius Knight, boy, he pop out on film. You hear me?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, that's the rookie they got from South Carolina, right?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Man, Listen, he wear 44.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I think that's.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He wear 44 for a reason. Young bull is special. He's special when you watch him. Hey you. I'm. Listen, I'm at the game, right? I'm at the game and you know, you watching everybody and all of a sudden, boom. Flying out of nowhere.

[Byron Young]

Boom.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Flying out of nowhere. I'm watching on tv.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, who in the hell is this?

[Chad Ochocinco]

There's a reason why his role has been reduced. There's, there's a reason why, you know, and ask. Asking for a trade is. I mean, that, that's, that's, that's the easy way out. But listen, if you can't get it done and if you can't get it done in Cincinnati, well, she gonna get it done at. Think about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm trying to play. Oo. I ain't trying to be on no bench. I ain't, I can't get no stabs on the bench.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You're not listening to me. Huh? If you can't get it done in Cincinnati, where we're not that good, where else are you gonna go and get it done? At, I mean, the, the Hello. The call is coming from inside the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

House for sure.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You know, so, I mean, listen, I, I, I, I wish, I love Logan Wilson. I wish him the best, but those that are in front of you, where your role has been reduced, are really good. They ain't no slouches, despite being but at. Young man, listen, I'm telling you, if you get a chance to watch the Bengals this Sunday when we play the jets, watch Demetrius.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, man, I ain't watching y' all play no Jets.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Why not?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you want, oh, so y' all can beat up on somebody? You want me to watch that?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We beat up on the Steelers. I, I, I ain't say nothing about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you said something about it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, who, who y' all got, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

We got the Cowboys.

[Chad Ochocinco]

[Byron Young]

All.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Boy, I don't know why Picket Pickens might picking. Pickens is not goddamn CD land. Might have 300 yards all together.

Well, they might go. They, they might get it on Riley Moss. They ain't gonna get it on certain. You know that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So you think Riley Moss gonna give her 300 yards by itself?

[Shannon Sharpe]

They ain't gonna get it on. I know they're not gonna get anything on certain.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right, man. Aaron Gordon had 50 points, and they still lost 17 of 21. 10 of 11 from three.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Wait, 50. 50. Woo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

50. Jokic had a triple double. Jamal Murray had 25, and they still got beat by the, the warriors. Steph had 42.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I knew I was just gonna ask you. Steph must have went crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

42. Jimmy Butler had 21. Draymond had 13. Kaminga had 14. Al Horford had 13. Buddy Hill had 11.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, I forgot Al Horford was there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. I'm getting out of town. Y' all can't Boston. We ain't got no chance.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Not at all. Not, not without Tatum.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, absolutely not. Ocho, we have some good news for you, though.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Me?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Take a listen to what Jamar Chase had to say earlier today. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jamar, what's the biggest number of catches you think you could get in a game?

[Diplo]

26.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I mean, I left a lot out there, if I'm being honest.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I left a lot out there, so.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But I doubt I was really going.

[Byron Young]

To get 26, though, but probably like 17.

[Chad Ochocinco]

18.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't think you can get 20? Yeah, I mean, sky's the limit at.

[Colin Coward]

The end of the day.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sky's always the limit.

[Chad Ochocinco]

But it's gonna get. It's not gonna be easy, tell you that. Like, I don't want bubbles as five catches, 10 catches, you know, so.

[Byron Young]

No.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no more goals are up.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Super Bowl. That's it.

[Diplo]

That.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You understand that, man. He understands. They look at receivers that have super bowl rings different. I understand not only the quarterback is really judged heavily.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know, when they throw, when they throw, when they talk about Jerry, what is the one thing Jerry can have over Randy, what he'd have over Tio, what he can have over Fitzgerald, Chris Carter, all those guys, what did he have?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Super bowl rings. Rings. Yeah. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And so Chase, like, hold on. Yes. I'm gonna have a bunch of catches. I'm gonna have a bunch of yards, considering where I am, where my career started, Right. But at the end of the day, they're gonna be looking at me sideways. I don't get no jewelry, especially with the quarterback that I got.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, well, when he's healthy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Yeah. You gotta stay healthy, Ocho.

[Chad Ochocinco]

My goddamn bangles. But we gonna be all right, bro. We. We finna run the table, man. We finna run. We finna run the table. I feel good about that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's bad here. Oh, yo, let me know what you think about this. Tyreek Hill is weighing his option after suffering a season ending injury last month, he said on the Set podcast that he's undecided about whether to retire or continue playing. Right now, I'm happy being with my kids. I'm happy with the career I've had. And I love playing football. I love it, but it, man. But it takes a lot, man, to be the best and to stay at the top. And I'm at the point now where I need to have a conversation with my mom, family and everybody, like I said, wherever my mind is at the time, the decision to be made. But I just right now feel like I haven't had time to just live in the moment. I just be in the moment with my family.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He's not retiring. He's not retiring. It's. He's. He's going through. He's going through the withdrawals of not being able to play Right now. You can't run, you. You hobbled, you're injured right now, you got to rehab. Once he gets back in form, however long that takes, the thought of retiring is far gone. He has too much football left to play. Yeah, he had too much. Too much football left to play. Not only does he have too much football left to play. There's a new journey, there's a new chain. There's a change of scenery waiting on him. I'm not sure where it may be. I'm sure we'll be a place that can use his skill set. And even if he's not as fast as he once was, he'll still be fasting everybody else.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're absolutely right. Everything that you said is true.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that's the damn man I got hurt. I mean, it's a serious injury. He dislocated his knee and he tore ligaments.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. He'd be back though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. For sure.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And the exciting part for Tyreek Hill is I know I'm coming back. Right. I gotta get my. I gotta whip myself back into shape, get back, get back close to 100 as I can.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And get ready to contribute to a new team. Where that is, I don't know. That's the exciting part for me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How much money Tyree got guaranteed next year?

[Chad Ochocinco]

It was 54. 50 something.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's his cap number. I'm talking about how much he's. How much does he have guaranteed?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because this is the first year of a third of a. Of a three year, ninety million dollar deal. Wasn't it.

[Bobby Bones]

First?

[Chad Ochocinco]

This might be the second year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think I thought this was. So he had one more year left. Wow. Where they won't owe him any more money, huh? Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But we knew, look, I knew one way or another he wasn't gonna be there. Either he's gonna get traded or he's gonna be cut. Yeah, I know he wasn't gonna be there after this year. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I think if, if he, if he hadn't got hurt, he would be. He'd be traded by the dead.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Correct.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Trade by the deadline.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing is, Ocho, in, in a situation like this, you know, because it's going to take him a little extra time because he had a dislocation and he tore a couple of. I think he tore two ligaments in his knee acl. And yeah, I mean, he wrecked it pretty good.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that happened in October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June. Eight months, July, August. I could come back in 12, 10, 10, 10, 11 months.

[Chad Ochocinco]

10, 11, 2, 3. October.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. They said he tore multiple ligaments and, and, and there's a. Obviously tore the big one.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He'll be ready by the start of the season.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oo. He tore multiple ligaments and he dislocated the knee.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I think he'll be ready.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh. And you Got to understand. Oo, that's a lot of planting and cutting. That's a lot of speed. Think about when you run a comeback at that kind of speed.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That thing got to be solid. Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Not only does that have to be solid up here. Got to be solid.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, it's time to play. Play, Play a fade presented by prize picks or I'm gonna cash this one out. Brandon Ingram, more than five rebounds versus Milwaukee. That's tomorrow. More. Jalen Johnson, more than four assists versus Orlando. He's a steals guy. I'm gonna say so if, if, if do I lose if he gets four? Yes, he should have. We push. All right, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say more. I'm saying you have at least four. Yeah, we thought that about Vidal too. He doubled us up. Norman Powell gonna have more than three and a half rebounds. Victor Wimbanyama is going to have more than nine and a half field goals. Cade Cunningham is going to have more than five and a half rebounds. How many. How many people? Oh, yeah. He was 17 or 21. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We'll be gonna average at least 25 this year.

[Chad Ochocinco]

25 a game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

How many blocks he gonna average?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Probably about three. Three. Three and a half.

[Byron Young]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

He like me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

$25 to win 250. Download the app. Use code SHANNON to get $50 in lineups. After you play your first five dollar lineup, it's good to be right. All right, Ocho, we're gonna get you out of this one. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, I probably do win me something bad, boy. One on one, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, you wouldn't even get a shot off who ts Car wash and detail. Oh, you look the same height as Paul Pierce. So. Hell, I didn't. Antonio got Agata said. Come on, Ocho. It's a little rough right now, but don't forget simpre Napoli.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. Listen, it's over. It's always Napoli. But I'm wearing a legend now. This ain't just no any AC Milan jersey. Hold on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Was that Ronaldinho?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that boy. That's that boy. One of my favorite players, you know, my favorite team is Napoli. I love Napoli. And this is. This is also a team in Syria. AC Milan. So me wearing this is like, oh, you're not supposed to be wearing it. But this, this is the legend. This is. This is okay. This is okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dr. Frankie Ella Bellamy said, oh, last night was deep. I felt your pain, but also. But also felt you healing. We all go through darkness, but it takes one guiding light to see us through. You have many, many lights. God, your fam and more. I ain't going nowhere. No question. With you to the end. Thank you, Doc. Thank you. Yeah. You know, sometimes, you know, stars only come out when it's dark. You'll find who your friends are when it's dark. Friends like stars, Ocho. They really come out when it's dark. Oh, yeah, another guy, the guy that actually, the guy that I, I, I've really never had a whole lot of dealings with, Ocho. The guy that texts me every week. Yeah. Two and a half months straight just to check. Charles Barkley.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, bro. Hey, Barkley.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Funny, I did the interview with him last, what, 24 summer? 24 summer. We exchanged information. Oh. So I ain't expecting nobody demanding.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Just like, hey, bro, just call it. Just call it. Just, Just checking on you. Keep your head up. We all go through stuff that meant a lot.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. And you know, the funny thing, too, especially those in the chat. You, you know, you got a lot of people around you. You know, whether you're doing good or, you know, you got money or whatnot. You never know who your true friends are until that you go through something. Till you go through some. You never know. You never know. I'm telling you. And I'm. Well, I was able to resonate with you when, when that stuff happened and when we talked about it last night and I thought about my circle. My circle has always been small.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

So therefore, when that, when that issue, when that problem happened, the same people right there. Hey, to. Right there by my side. Everything good, you good, everything straight. My same, My same small circle from Cincinnati, my homeboys, main lock, Los Rico, you know, same group doink, you know, down here in Miami, my brother Sam and Chauncey. That's less, that's. That's two hands less than. That's two hand. That's it. Ain't nobody else. Everybody was right there, so I had to go, I had to go through that, man. They've been here, man. But when. When the ship was sailing high. When the ship sunk and now we back floating again.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's it. It's savage. Ocho, Oklahoma native here. How we looking, man? OKC Thunder SGA sets a career high 55 points. The first team to go back to back, double overtime and win. I know it's early, but what do you guys take on? You guys look Good. They doing this without J Dub. The second best player hasn't been there. You Shade is going to be Shay. I think he shot like 26 free throws. He's going to get to the foul line. He's a tough cover. You know, he can get to the rim mid range. You can shoot the three well enough that you can't just leave him open.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then he puts pressure on you because he's going to attack, attack, attack, attack, attack. And he's going to make the officials either they gonna swallow their whistle or they're gonna blow it.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I hate that people call him that. I hate that they call him a free throw merchant because listen, he's able to manipulate his game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Ochocinco]

And join flap drawing fouls and get into the free throw line. Hell, D. Wade does it too. D. Wade did it too. Goddamn. James Harden is also a master class when it comes to doing it as well. I mean, I'm not. Why do people do that?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they got to have a. They got to explain why he's playing the way he's playing.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So instead of getting, hey, the guy's immensely talented. Most guys drew a lot of free throws, though. Jordan used to draw a lot of free throws. Cole used to draw a lot of free throws. Brian, for the amount of he amount of time that he drove the ball. Shaq didn't draw no free throws because shaq been shooting 30 free throws a game. And then nobody want to see that. So they just let people beat the hell out of Shaq.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But most of the guys, Carl Malone shot a lot of free throws. The really good players normally shoot free throws, especially if you attack the rim. Tyson, say hey. Could you give my family a shout out? We recently lost our father. Wilkins. Gustav. Yes. So sorry to hear that. Tyson, your family, hopefully in this time of sorrow, you have understanding, you find comfort and you find peace. And God give you that. I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. But just know he's in a good place now. No more pain, no more suffering. And you know what? If we live the life, you know, we shouldn't fear death. If we live the life that worthy of living isn't. That's the way we get to our ultimate destination is through death. So I guess that's the celebration that we should have. But Tyson, I agree for you and your family. Kristen Field says Chauncey and Rosier tipped over dollars trying to pick up pennies. So sad, Uncle Nocho. Now, will y' all feel if y' all teammates Sold the game for money?

[Byron Young]

Hell, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I would feel some type of way.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gonna give out information? I. I ain't. I ain't. Oh, so I ain't even talking to my people.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, and you know the funny, too. The funny thing about it is, is the people that are in position to actually impact and affect games wouldn't be gambling anyway. They wouldn't be in position doing that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But they talk about the information.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, the information. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you know Carson ain't gonna play this week. Don't say Nothing, though, right, T.J. man, I don't know. I don't think T.J. gonna play this week. You see? Hey, just like that, right? You don't.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You ain't thinking nothing about it, man. Ocho say Carson ain't gonna play this week. Just like that. Oh, they ain't got you caught up. You just ate, man. Practice all week. I don't even. I don't even know if Carson gonna play, Right? You just said just. Hey, that's why you can't. No pillow talking.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Triple X copsanity. NCAA approved a rule change on Wednesday that will allow athletes and athletic director, department staff members to bet on professional sports. Look, college football is coming just like the NFL. The reason why the coaches make so much money and the players are getting paid. That's why they're not putting up with that. You're not going to get nobody. You're not going to keep losing. Dapple not. No. They're paying too much. Brian Kelly probably gonna walk out and walk away anyway because he said he wanted to go somewhere where he can compete for a championship. He ain't come close to competing. And they spent a boatload of money at lsu. He left Notre Dame because he said he wanted to compete for a championship. That's what he said. If it's a lie, he told it. He ain't come close losing to Alabama and Georgia. Okay, I get that. That's Alabama and Georgia. Vanderbilt put foots in you now?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Oh, yeah, Vanderbilt. Hey, Vanderbilt ain't nothing to be joked up with this year now, so.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, boy, look here. It's perfect. College football is professional sports now, Ocho. You look at the money, you look at the money the coaching staff and the coaches make, they got, you know, 15 to 20 million dollars tied up in the coaching staff. Yeah, you got somewhere between 8 and 15 million tied up in. In your. In your team.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, I call it. You know what I call it? I call it a starter kit. College football is now the starter kit. Before you make it to the league.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We don't give you.

[Chad Ochocinco]

We gonna give you a small sample size of what it's going to be like at the next level.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're absolutely correct. Dagnate cobbins. You got to know when to hold them. You got to know when to fold them. You got to know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money at the table, Kenny. Yep. Kenny Rogers. That's the gambler you do. But here's the thing. You got to be careful if you're professional athlete sitting at that table.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause you never know. That's why you got to be careful how you talk to and who you talk to. Ocho. Let's just say I'm in the airport and I'm talking to somebody. I don't even know who it is. Somebody take a picture. He a mobster. Now, how do I explain that? Ocho, I'm just having a conversation.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know who this man is. You mean to tell me you don't know who he. No. Who is he? You mean to tell me you don't know who that is? Mofo, I told you I didn't know who that was. Now, who is he? You see? Got caught up just that quick. You having a conversation? You're in a restaurant, Ocho. Hey, how you doing, Mr. Sharp? Hey, how you doing? I'm such and such. If you don't say Sammy the Bull, I don't know. He'll say. You know what I'm saying?

[Chad Ochocinco]

Sammy the Bull. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You don't say something like that, I ain't gonna know who the hell you are. Right. Lucky Luciano. My Lansky. You don't say no name like that. Rest that soul. I don't know.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah. And then obviously, you know, they don't look like that no more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Exactly.

[Chad Ochocinco]

They don't dress like that no more.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Timothy Humphrey. Salute Uncle Ocho. Y'. All. Y' all talking facts. The Giants idiot kicker cost me my parlay. Bria Carter. The NBA is definitely rigged. Cause how the Mouths trade their franchise player but get rewarded with the number one pick. Make it make sense.

[Chad Ochocinco]

That's a good one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Saucy. Unan oo. Who has the best band? Halftime show.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Human jukebox. But listen, fam.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You Savannah State.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Who?

[Shannon Sharpe]

First of all, you can't claim no hbcu. Cause you didn't go, say, Oregon State, fam.

[Chad Ochocinco]

You die.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't fail, you fam. And you didn't go there.

[Chad Ochocinco]

I'm so glad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I went to Oregon State. I'm so glad I went to Oregon State, fam.

[Chad Ochocinco]

No, I went to every class since 1984. Now, the fact that I didn't have the grades to get in there, that's my fault. But wait a minute, fam. You made me an honorary. Honorary member of not only the band, but the school.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, you a beaver. You a beaver. You don't get the claim. You do not to get the claim. We appreciate that. Thank you for highlighting what's great and the excellence associated with historically black colleges and universities. Unfortunately, Mr. Johnson, you did not attend one. Hey, you know, I went to an hbcu and I did it when it wasn't cool, when it wasn't popular. The only time you heard about it is when Lou Rawls was talking about the United Negro College Fund. Because the mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Waste. Now, hold on, hold on. I went to. I was only at Oregon State for four months, so technically, I don't care. I don't count. I'm. I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me ask you a question. So when they put your name up, they say starting at wide receiver, number 85, Chad Johnson. What was under that? Was it FAMU or Oregon State?

[Chad Ochocinco]

It said FAMU. Then slash FAMU. It said Oregon State. It said Oregon State slash FAMU.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You had some orange in there, but it was a different type of orange. Claim them. Claim them. Sorry, rascals.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, listen, I've always been a rattler at heart, man. Always.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nah, you don't get to. You don't get to do that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Hey, listen, we'll be. We'd be Savannah State. I know that. We'll be Savannah State.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, hold on. Who is we.

If Shaq was his size and could shoot threes like Curry, that man average 100 points a game.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Yeah, that wouldn't even be fair.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I mean, just like, just think if God had made Steph Curry six, eight. Oh, hell with his ability to shoot like that.

[Chad Ochocinco]

Nah, that ain't fair.
