Colorado’s Ongoing Struggles Under Coach Prime

Colorado vs. BYU Recap & Bigger Issues (03:07 – 11:30)

• Colorado falls to BYU 24-21, dropping to 1-7 this season.
• Shannon points out the recurring inability to stop the run, giving up 206 rushing yards (“Again, they can’t stop the damn run.” – Sharpe, 03:18).
• Ochocinco emphasizes the importance of “the trenches” in Power 5 football:

  “You live and die in the trenches… If you can’t stop the run, you dead in the water.” (Johnson, 03:40)

• Mockery of BYU’s QB wearing #47:

  “Ain’t no way I’m losing to a guy wearing 47.” (Sharpe, 04:59)

• Johnny Manziel raises the question of whether Deion Sanders (“Coach Prime”) should leave due to Colorado’s uphill battle in the current landscape:

  “Does he gotta get out of there? It's gonna take a lot of money, a couple years to get guys in the program to compete in the trenches.” (Manziel, 05:56)

• The group agrees: Colorado lacks players and depth—talent doesn’t match up to blue bloods.
• Sharpe explains why Colorado’s glory days (the ‘90s and 2000s) are long past, referencing alumni and former successes. (08:35 – 09:29)

Notable Quote

• “If you can’t do it with Prime, you can’t do it with no one.” (Manziel, 09:29)

NIL Money and Talent Gaps (11:30 – 17:00)

• Panel draws parallels between NASCAR/F1 and college football—money rules, those who spend more get better results.
• Sharpe on NIL disparity:

  “Colorado might have what, three, four million in NIL? Ohio State got 25, 30…you can’t compete.” (Sharpe, 11:36)

• Manziel sums up the problem:

  “There are casualties of war in this game. With the current structure of NIL…Colorado is one of them.” (Manziel, 13:46)

• Amusing sidebar: Grocery store analogy for player scarcity and Colorado’s inability to “reach the top shelf.”

---

Broader College Football Recap & Wild Moments

Big-Time Blowouts: Notre Dame, Tennessee, More (22:43 – 28:09)

• Sharpe recaps Notre Dame’s huge win over Arkansas, fueled by freshman QB CJ Carr:

  “Carr...threw for 294 and four touchdowns in the first half…” (Sharpe, 22:43)

• Ochocinco calls it a “statement game” after last week’s loss (23:37).
• The duo discuss Tennessee’s overtime win over Mississippi State and the risk of playing conservative late.

Ball Boy Sideline Drama (28:56 – 32:44)

• Recap of the viral Louisville student manager squabble with a Pitt defensive back over game balls.

• Sharpe and Ochocinco joke about the lengths ball boys go to and share sideline mishaps and memories.

  “He was not playing…trying to get that ball back.” (Johnson, 29:52)

---

The NIL Era: Changing the Game

Old-School Coaches vs. Paying Players (36:22 – 42:47)

• Oklahoma State’s firing of Mike Gundy leads to a deeper discussion about old coaches—like Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban—struggling with players getting paid.
• Shannon:

  “Dabo makes $11-12 million a year. Why do you care if a player makes $1-2 million? It’s not coming out of your salary.” (Sharpe, 38:27)

• Chad notes the generational discomfort coaches have with empowered young stars and money.
• The group compares player/coach pay in college and the NFL, with star players now out-earning many head coaches.

---

NFL Quarterback Carousel

Russell Wilson Trade Rumors & Bengals’ Fit? (44:04 – 46:47)

• Discussion turns to Russell Wilson’s possible destinations if he’s traded.
• Sharpe and Ochocinco identify the Bengals as the logical landing spot if Joe Burrow remains hurt, but note the O-line deficiencies persist in Cincinnati.
• Ochocinco:

  “Russell Wilson to the Bengals…you have players around you where you don’t have to elevate them, they’re gonna elevate your play.” (Johnson, 44:45)

Playful Banter: Upcoming Bengals Game

• Ochocinco and Sharpe trade anticipated “trash talk” ahead of the next Bengals Monday Night game, with Ochocinco predicting Jamarr Chase will “take [Cornerback] Surtain to the cleaners” (76:36).

---

Ryder Cup Disappointment

U.S. Team Falters Yet Again (58:48 – 65:09)

• Sharpe provides a summary of another poor showing by the U.S. in the Ryder Cup ("America’s lost three of four…").
• Jokes about the U.S. always getting “put foots to” by Europe. The panel debates whether the U.S. team is being built by reputation more than course-fit.
• Chad quips:

  “That’s times like that where they could use my expertise and skill…” (Johnson, 60:45)

---

Recruiting in the NIL Era & Coach Prime's Approach

Does Deion Sanders Need to Hit the Road? (65:11 – 71:32)

• Viewer prompts question: Should Coach Prime do traditional high school recruiting and home visits?
• Sharpe clarifies Prime isn’t doing “in-home visits,” which may hurt his appeal with families.

  “That goes a long way. That means something…for Coach Saban or one of these big time coaches to come sit there in my grandmother’s house…” (Sharpe, 68:02)

• Ochocinco acknowledges this matters, but underscores Prime’s unique brand.
• Sharpe insists some “old-school” coaching rituals remain important, regardless of NIL or charisma.

---

Memorable Moments & Banter

• Nostalgic laughter about failed halftime speeches and Ray Lewis’s hype-up speeches:

  “When it comes to motivating…Ray [Lewis] is special, boy.” (Johnson, 48:42)

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

• “If you can’t do it with Prime, you can’t do it with no one.” – Johnny Manziel (09:29)
• “In order to still field a good competitive team and win national championships, why do you care [about players getting paid]?” – Shannon Sharpe (38:27)

  • Georgia Tech’s victory and the “multiple names” of teams (74:20)
  • Betting on Bama and recapping weekend picks
  • Ants in drinks (a running joke)
  • Viewers’ questions about Colorado’s offense and Coach Prime’s tactics

---

[Shannon Sharpe]

With a chance to win the game, Kaden Salter threw a pick with 50 seconds remaining. And BYU wins the game. 24, 21. Look. Damn, the buffs are one in seven. Hold on, let me. Hold on, let me, let me. Let me pull this game up. Cause again, I don't know what's going on. They're gonna have to go. They'll have to go get some linemen. They have to go get some D line, Ocho. Yeah, because guess what? Again, they can't stop the damn run.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You live and die. You live and die in the trenches. You live and die in the trenches. That is the only thing that separates the Power five schools from everybody else is the fact that in them trenches, offensively and defensively, you got some hogs that can really go and can really play. If you can't stop the run, you dead in the water. You're going to lose every game. It doesn't matter who you playing. You, you can be playing the Sisters of the North. If you ain't got nothing up front, they Gonna beat you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

36 rushes, 206 yards, giving up a touchdown. Hell, they ran like a. They ran like a. A handoff to the wide receiver and then nobody touched him with 32 yard touchdown. And nobody touched him until he got to the two. Hold up. Didn't know. Didn't BYU got a quarterback number 47. That should be illegal. Ain't no way. What? In the court, what number is the quarterback? Wasn't he number 47?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Play. He playing wearing 47 at quarterback?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think so. I saw 47 throw a pass. Maybe it was a half back pass or something. What's the quarter? What number is.

[Johnny Manziel]

I got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he a quarterback.

[Johnny Manziel]

47 for 179 and two touchdowns.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't no way I'm losing to a guy wearing 47.

[Johnny Manziel]

And that tissue don't work.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

They gotta.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I get it. If 1920s and 30s quarterbacks had 60 numbers, they had all kind of numbers.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In today's game, this man got 47.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. Hey, listen, it's the significance behind that. We just don't know what it is. He went, john Lynch.

[Shannon Sharpe]

We got John lynch playing quarterback. Lynch a hell of a player. But come on, Colorado, y' all gotta. What we doing, Ocho?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

We ain't got the players. Huh? They don't have the players. You don't have the players to compete. That's it. And the ones that are there, they're making mistakes that you can't make. You can't overcome the mistakes that they're making. The decision making, especially at the quarterback position, that's very important.

[Johnny Manziel]

The question is, does he got to get out of there? Because it's gonna take a lot, a lot of money, a couple years to get guys in the program to be able to compete in the trenches like that. Because the talent you're playing and the teams you're playing aren't SEC caliber. What happens when you get into the playoff and you play one of these top dogs?

[Shannon Sharpe]

It ain't gonna go very well. So it poses the question, look, you're not.

[Johnny Manziel]

He gotta go.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're not gonna ever get into the college football playoffs if you cannot stop the run. You giving up 200 plus rush yards a game. We just talked. Hold on. Who did they play the other. The other night? And they gave up damn near 300 rush yards, Ocho. And we came on here and said the exact same thing. It was the exact same thing. Last year they couldn't stop the run. The previous year they couldn't stop the run. And here we are in year three and they still haven't gotten better at stopping the run.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Damn tough. You could coach till you blue in the face. You can scheme up, you can know about tendencies, you can study, you can watch film. Unless you have the personnel to get out there and execute whatever it is you need to execute, especially in them trenches, you're gonna get steamrolled every goddamn well.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They had. They did something to stop. They had a 143 lead and then they had a 2117 lead. So they did something. So what was what, what happened after that? 11 of 16, 119 yards. He plays good in spurs and then he forgets that. I. I don't. I don't know. They ran the ball well tonight. They had 37 rush attempts, 172 yards. These are the type of Ocho. Because everybody said, well, this was an opportunity for the Buffs at home to be the ranked team that was undefeated. This is the opportunity. These are the moments that you seize upon and they squander this. Now, we remember last year what happened on Jordan and remember in the bowl game what BYU did to him.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. Hey, you got to have the personnel to capture those moments. You talking about, Johnny? You got to have a personnel. You got to have them dogs at least two.

[Johnny Manziel]

We would be talking about Colorado. We wouldn't even be talking about Colorado. If prime wasn't there. They wouldn't even be nowhere on the radar. This ain't the Colorado. The 2000s or the 90s or whatever.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not McCart. Coach McCarth, where, rest his soul. No, they had, they had players. They, they had first. A bunch of first round draft pick. Look at Char, look at Alfred Williams, Canavis McGee. They had. Cordell was there and they had Rashan Salam and had Dion Figures. They had Chad Brown. No, they had players. They had players had Eric B. Enemy, J.J. flanigan.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

No, Westbrook. Michael Westbrook.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Ray Kut. They had first. They had. They were loaded. Go back and look at the offensive lineman that they had. They were r. They were loaded. There's a reason why they won a national championship. There's a reason why they put foots in Nebraska when Nebraska was really, really good. On Thanksgiving, on the day after Thanksgiving. Excuse me. No, they don't have that level of talent and they're not going to get that level of talent because you don't have the resources to get. You know what I'm saying?

[Johnny Manziel]

If you can't do it with prime, you can't do it with no one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, they don't, they don't. They don't have them. Look, when you go into the grocery store, all the stuff that they want you to get is eye level. The really cheap stuff is on the bottom or on the top. Everything that they want you to purchase is right there in your eye level. You can just reach and grab it, right.

[Johnny Manziel]

We got a lot of, we got a lot of bottom of the barrel over there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The really top players at the top, right. And they don't have a step ladder to reach up there and get it. I don't know if y' all been in the grocery store lately, but go in the grocery store and look eye level and see how they got all the name brand stuff. Not the stuff that's in paper, the serial that's in. That's in cellophane bags. They got the box, the Kellogg, the Post, the good stuff. You'll see, right? You walk in, it's outlet there. Let me get rabbits right here. I'm gonna get this right there. All the cooking sauces, all the oils. Right there. Right there. All the good soda. Right there. Right there. All the good water. Yeah, right there, right there.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And arm's reach.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not like that in football. The really good players are up there. You have to reach up. You have to have reach up to get them.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Or you have. Excuse me, can you hand me that, son? You know, I'm in the grocery store and the old lady. Excuse me, son. Yes, Ma', am, can you hand me that? Sure.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, but the funny thing about it, too, about those things that are not in arm's reach, you know who it would take for Colorado to change their program around? Who it would take for one of the Saudis to be interested in Colorado for some reason and go buy up all the players to come there and transfer?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, that's.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That's about it. That. That is about it. There's only so much you can do coaching wise. There's only so much you could do.

[Johnny Manziel]

So they just screwed forever.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Man.

[Johnny Manziel]

You know when you rub your head.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, yeah, look, it's hard when. I mean, Colorado might have, what, three, $4 million in IL, and then you got other teams like Ohio State got 25, 30, and you got teams, they got 15, 20, and you got teams got 20, 20, 25, and you got 10, got teams that got 10 to 15. You can't compete. It's. It's just like racing NASCAR.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look at the teams that got the money. You look at Penske, you look at Joe Gibbs.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. And you notice that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You look at Jack. You look at Jack Roush.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And you. Hey, Unc. And I'm glad you just said that. You notice when it comes to NASCAR or it comes to F1, the teams that have the most money, you do notice that they always consistently winning or always in the top. Always in first.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Always. Every year.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, you know. You know how. You know who got. Who got the good cars, Go look at their cars. When you go see a car that got like two or three decals on it, they're gonna be in the back. You go, you go to the track and you see decals everywhere. On the hood, on the bumper, everywhere. That the cars even sound different. I don't know if anybody's ever been to a NASCAR race. Go listen to.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Chase Elliott car. Listen to Danny Hamlin's car. Listen to Bubba Wallace's car. Now go listen to somebody that's not with Jordan, that's not with Roush, that's not with Joe Gibbs, that's not with Rick Hendricks.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, it's different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen to Rick Hendrick cars, driver, cars, how they sound. Look at. Listen to Joe Gibbs. Drivers, cars, how. How they sound. Look at. Look.

[Johnny Manziel]

We always said and we always knew there would be perils of the nil and the changes that came with it. There would be casualties of war in the changes that were made just based off what your bankroll is. If I walk into a casino and I got two grand, my options Are limited for what I can.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

What I can.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

If I walk in and my bankroll is 24 million, I got some around money to go on. There are some casualties of war in this game. With the current structure of what NIL is now, will that change to be determined? However, right now, as we sit currently in this present day, there are casualties.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

And unfortunately, Colorado is one of them. And there are many more out there.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You people talking about what? It's the drivers. I tell you what. You let them drivers. You let them drivers go drive a car, they got three decals on it. And let me know how that. Let that go, how it goes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

No, they won't. They won't be able to do nothing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't telling somebody. I'm telling you what I know.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Won't be able to do nothing. If you don't have the car with the stuff inside to perform at the highest level, it's not happening.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. You got to. You got the best engineers, you got the best mechanics, you got the. You got the best spotter, you got the best team that money can buy. There's a reason why Rick H. Go back and look and see who drivers win the chase. You. I forgot about Richard. Children. Go back and see how many. How many it used to be. It used to be. Hold on. Sprint, and then it was a Winston cup and now it's. I don't know what they call it now, but go back and look at Rick Hendrick children's Joe gift. Go back and look at their drivers. Go back and look at how many cups they won.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This, bro, it'll be just like Ocho and I. We going out there, we getting on the bad circuit and what it's the. No, it's not. Me and Ocho, we got a little trolling motor. If we had a. We had. We had a 18 foot. And we ain't got no. We ain't got no outboard. We ain't got no. Every rule to know, Mercury. We ain't got no chance.

[Johnny Manziel]

Let me catch you. Let me catch you an OO on the bass circuit. I'm have some words.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, I'm. I'm Kate. Hey, I'm Van Dam. I'm Kevin Van Dam. Why y' all you out there Catch Mikelli on the wall. But Johnny, you look and big time college football and it's always mattered. People like, oh, all the nil deal is legal instead of giving it to you under the table. Cause see what people were doing. Some teams was buying gas. The other team Was buying the car for you to put gas in. Somebody bought a refrigerator and a microwave. And then somebody built the house around the refrigerator and the microwave. And now ain't none of that a. We call the name, image and likeness. We call it whatever you want to. But all I know, there are some guys making three, four million dollars and. And now it ain't enough. Nobody cares nothing about no scat pack. Don't nobody care nothing. But hey, ain't nobody care nothing about no challenger. Ain't nobody care nothing about no charger. Ain't nobody care nothing about that. Hey, you ain't got McLaren money. You ain't got Ferrari culling and money. Man, why you in my. Why you in my grandma house?

[Johnny Manziel]

No, I went to like, like I said earlier, I went to dinner with Pavia tonight and as I like got up towards the end of the Georgia game, I went to the, to the waiter and I go, yo, let me get the check. I'm gonna take care of it for my young buck real quick. He came back, he's like, yo, the owners already, already took care of this whole thing. I sat there, I'm like, damn, I would have got slapped with a two game suspension for this back in my day. Now here.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

Living the life.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Johnny Manziel]

I'm about to go out with him right now and I'm gonna run the credit card up because I know I could get him a tweet deal tomorrow or something. Get it right back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Johnny. Had you been in nil, Johnny, you'd been 10 million, I wouldn't have gone to the league.

[Johnny Manziel]

I mean, taking a pay cut.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, John. I mean, think of. Hold on. Think about what Arch Manning is making now. Think about Johnny and he's playing like he's playing. He wins the Heisman and he brings his ass back. What does a Heisman Trophy worth to a college? And the guy is back for another season.

[Johnny Manziel]

Go look at that stadium now. Go look at what that program is now and those facilities and what A and M looks like now. They what? I look at it now as a blessing for the program. A blessing is the whole look. I got to set it off in such a positive way for A and M. Now it's time to take it home.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You did.

[Johnny Manziel]

I can have that. I have that forever. I go back to my grandma's house on Thanksgiving. I walk in that house, the first thing that stares me in the face is that trophy. I go back for Christmas, the same thing. That is a forever thing that nobody can ever take away from me. I go to December every single year with my coat on and walk to Times Square and go see my boys, who have all won that trophy and been there. It's a family, it's a fraternity, it's special.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

See website for more Ocho CJ Carr matched the Notre Dame freshman record with four touchdown passes and Jeremiah Love caught two of those passes and rushed for two more scores as the Fighting Irish beat Arkansas 56 13. Carr 22 of 30, 354 matched the touchdown passing record slipped by Ron palace and threw four scores in the first career game against Northwestern in 1994. Carr, a Red Shirt freshman, threw for 294 and the four touchdowns in the first half, leading the scoring drive 75, 73, 75, 70, 75 and 45 yards. He didn't play the fourth quarter as Notre Dame led by 36 points. Oo you're impressed with the Fighting Irish? Yeah, they had a bad loss would they? Was it last week? Oo did they lost?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Was a good bounce back based on what happened last week?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Group got their self together. Dust yourself off, come back, make a statement, have a statement game. This was their statement game. This was the statement game. Now what you want to do as far as for the fighter Irish? You don't want to lose any more games.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you can't.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You can't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You. You're done. You lose another game, you're done. You're not going anywhere. You're not. I don't believe there'll be a team to make the college football playoffs. Not just now. Maybe Ocho, if they expand it. We're too low.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, you look at what they did. They had 431 yards passing. They had 210 yards rushing. That's 604, 641 yards. Arkansas had 17. Damn, Joe. Joe might need to get back out there. Joe might. You need to invest some money, Joe, in this program. Y' all want to, you know, keep stuff like this from happening. 30 rushes, 158 yards for Arkansas, 17 to 32, 207, no touchdowns, one interception. But Notre Dame got to go it early and often. They scored 14 in the first quarter, 28 in the second quarter, so they had 40. It was 42:13 at the half. They got seven in the third. And so Carr didn't play in the fourth quarter, but there was no need for him to play. But they look good. They look, look. Yeah, they played an inferior team. And when you play an inferior team, you're killing that with a slate. That's what it should look like. You're absolutely right. Oo, but.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, this is what we need to see. When you play the big boys, well, you may look.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, maybe. Maybe you're not going to see 56, 13, but you need to see a little bit if the Ocho. Hold on. Who did they lose to? Was it Northern Illinois last year that they ended up losing to? I think they lost to Texas A and M. They're like, hold on. I'm like, come on, man, what are you doing?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think that's who they might have lost to, Texas A and M this year. They've lost a couple of games this year, but. And then they lose to Northern Illinois last year also. Yeah, that was the game that. Right. That was the game that, you know, I think he reached out to the coach and the cold coach told him how they beat him and some of the tendencies, some of the things that. That was going on. But this is a big way to get a nasty taste out of your mouth. Losing is to go on the road and thump somebody. By the score of 56 to 13, number 15, Tennessee beats Mississippi State 4134 in overtime. The Volunteers finished with 466 total yards of offense. Mississippi State was. Was had this game and then the quarterback, all of a sudden, he couldn't keep his feet. He rolled out. Pete go off about him. I. I just don't. I sometimes I don't understand these teams. They be playing so good and, and just methodically, just moving the ball up and down the field. Short stuff, intermediate stuff, sprinkle some runs in a little screen here and there. And then all of a sudden they forget what they did to get them to lead or you know, they get conservative.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ocho, listen, it's always getting conservative. It's all. You throw everything in the kitchen sink at them. Then you run out of plays to call. So when you run out of plays to call, what's the first thing you do? You go in your safe box. Your safe box and get you beat every time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're right. Tennessee got a heck of a schedule. They still got, they still got Alabama on their schedule. What's Tennessee schedule looking like? Cause they lost. They lost in overtime. They lost to I think Georgia in overtime last week. Oh, here it is right here. Got it. Game right here. Oh, they got Oklahoma still on the schedule. They got Bama in. Bama aguilar threw for 2440,335 of touchdowns, two interceptions. They ran the ball 32 times for 131 yards. Had two receivers go over 100 yards receiving. Mississippi state shaping 1829. 181 touchdown, one interception. They ran the ball 57. Damn. 57 rush attempts for 198 yard 57.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ah, damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I said. But Tennessee, hey, they found a way to get it done. Stopped them on fourth down in overtime. And they get a, a much needed hard fought victory on the road against an SEC opponent. Tennessee escapes 4134 for Mississippi State in overtime. Louisville student manager got into a scuffle with pit defensive back over football after Pitt said you see the ojo. For those unaware, each team brings their own balls to the game after the pick six. The ball boy job is to retrieve the ball back. But the guys wasn't playing fair. Ocho, have you ever seen a situation like that before?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Nah, that was my first. That was my first time seeing something like that. And obviously the ball boy won the ball back because it was the other team's ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was his team's ball. It was West Virginia ball. Right? Cause that game was at West Virginia. Right Ashley? So Louisville pit picked it off. Yeah, yeah. So it was, it was, it was. So the game was at home on.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

The road, but either way it was.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Their ball because it was the opposing team's ball. His job is to get the ball back.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

He wanted to keep it. He wanted to keep the interception ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. So he was, he was Playing with. He was. I guess he was gonna throw it up in the stands and give it to the opposing team. I mean, to. To the fans, right? Now, normally, we see. We see the ball boy, Ocho, running, you know, keep it up. He likes the guy's running. He keeping up with him. We see that from time to time.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I don't know if I've ever seen a situation like this. Hey, they're like, bro, back up, man.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, he wasn't playing. He was not playing by trying to get that ball back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But that was Louisville ball boy, though, right? Yeah, bro, back up, man. You doing too much. You take this job way too serious, bro. They'll probably tell him, say, hey, look, I understand. You do it. You. You doing your job. But if a situation like that, just let it go.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Let it go.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. Hey, you. Hard work. Hey, he a hard worker, Ocho. He go for a. He's a guy. Hey, he followed. He followed. He followed instructions.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And, you know, listen, it ain't only the players that's getting paid now. You know, everybody get a little check out there. I need that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I think that I don't know a ball boy yet, but he get. He get to travel on Ocho. You know what I'm saying? I get to try, Ocho. Think about it. Now, if you're a college student now, a lot of times, the ball boy might be one of the coach's sons or something like that, because a lot of times the ball boys would coach his kids. You know, somebody that worked. That worked for the Broncos or worked for the Ravens. You know, Kyle. Kyle Coolson, Clint, he got two sons. Clinton Klein, I think he got three boys, but two of them, offensive coordinator Clint, called plays for Seattle. They used to be out there shagging ball. They used to do all kind of stuff. So that was the thing. You know, the coaches, kids, you know, position coaches, DB coaches, whatever, they shag balls, right? Now, everybody didn't get to go. But, you know, a lot of times, coach's son, before they had the cordless mic, o. You remember, they used to have the cord.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So the coach's son or somebody had to carry the coach's son. You didn't want people stepping on it, right? Man, I remember. Hey, I remember jumping. Gathers was supposed to be going into the game, and he didn't see the cord. And by this time, they had pulled a cord. Yeah. So elevator was going. He's getting ready just to step over it. Yeah, they snatched the cord. So jumping, getting ready to Step over it. Caught his foot, man. Jumping like going out bad. It's the stuff that happened on the sideline, don't you. I used to be laughing.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, some of the coaches get.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Coaches get run over.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, get ready.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta make sure you're okay. Ocho make sure you okay. Oh, he. Get up. It's over.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You laughing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What? And don't. Hey, don't let us win the game. And you got run over. And you get your ass on that bus, right?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, you're gonna get it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What, forever? Forever? Oh, it'd be 10 years deep. Hey, man, you remember you got ran over in Indy?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, that's. That's one of them everlasting moments that ain't ever going.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Probably. Listen, I know he get a little chunk of change now. I just know it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho Oklahoma State 5 veteran coach Mike Gundy earlier this week this is what the greatest head coach in college football had to say about Gundy's firing. Some people have a tougher time embracing the whole idea of paying players, especially some of us old timers. It's a little bit more difficult. Coaching is teaching and teaching is the ability to inspire learning for those of us who kind of get that. That's been our self gratification for so many years. Embracing paying, paying the players has been a little bit harder and I think ultimately that's what got them at Oklahoma State. It's going to get Dabo too.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh yeah, absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because he but Dabo was supposed to be gone. Dabo supposed to have been left when he said the moment they start playing Ultra before you go Dabo said the moment they start playing paying college players, he's up out of there.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah listen Nate, that's that I call that small talk is when it's when you're talking small talk you're just talking just to talk, you know good and well you won't go anywhere. And the fact that if you don't want to pay now, you seeing it might cost you your job on the back end, because you got to play, you got to pay to win. One thing you got to do in life, no matter what you do, is you got involved with the times.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Pay to play.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You got involved with the time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's pay to stay. Hey, this notion. Hey. Well, if you're tired of winning. No, the expectations are you. You just can't win, Dabo. No, you can't. And you know that. I don't. OO I don't care if somebody else is getting paid as long as I'm getting paid. You think I. Let's just say for the sake of argument, o. I make 5 million.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All of a sudden I work for this company. They want to pay the janitor 700,000. Why I care, right? His 700, 000 ain't coming out of my pay.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dabo makes 11 $12 million a year. Why do you care? In order to still feel a good competitive team and go to that and win national championships, why do you care, right? If a player makes a million, $2 million, it's not coming out of your salary.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I. I don't know. Just some, you know. He's an old, old school coach, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You know, I think, I think such.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And such make it so. I don't care what such and such make. Not one dime came out of Shannon's pocket. So guess what? I'm happy such and such making this right. As long as it don't come out of my pocket. As long as you don't take for me to pay somebody else, I don't give a damn who gets paid.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. I think also, you know, you know how it is too, with kids, they already don't listen with no money, you add money, It's a whole different ball game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know that, Ocho, it's the same. Look, listen, a lot of kids now are like this.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The more you give a kid, the more you. It is what it is.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But guess what? It's on a one year thing. College scholarship. You have to renew the college Scholar, it's called. You don't get a scholarship for four years. It get. It gets renewed every year.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. He unruly. Move on, move on. The ones that want to be there, the ones that have aspirations of going further will listen, do what they need to do, make their money and move on.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Those that won't, those that don't, you're gonna have to move on. Without Ocho, there have been good players in the NFL that teams have had to let go. There have Been good players at any job. Sometimes that don't want to listen, that you have to let go. It is what it is. But Coach Saban said it. Some of us old timers. That's why Coach Saban left. Yeah, everybody knows what I think of St. Nick, but that's why.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, I mean, that was common sense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, but. But had one of the biggest car dealerships in the country.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Damn. I get. Listen, I'm. I'm picking up what you're putting down. I'm. I'm picking up what you're putting down.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Did you see who was that? Ojo, Texas, when they had them recruits and they had all them Ferraris and Lambos and McLaren out of the stadium.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

From the stadium.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Salutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now, you know, all of a sudden a demon don't look, and I, like, I got a challenge. I got the black ghost, right? But all of a sudden I'm seeing Ferrari and Lambos and McLarens, right? You know what? All of a sudden, that hellcat and that demon and that.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ooh, it ain't the same.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That track hawk don't look the same, Ocho. I like track hawks.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, it ain't the same.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And Coach Saban said to say we got a hard time. We're not used to players getting paid.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That we knew about. But now. But now we know about it, it's harder for them to adjust. Ocho. That's just the side of the times, Ocho. Guess what? It used to be a situation that players. Players didn't make more than coaches. So you have some level of control. Now the players are making 10 times what the coach makes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, yeah, at least.

[Shannon Sharpe]

At least double.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Except. Except the big coaches.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I mean, just think about it. Probably the highest paid coach now might be Andy Reid. Let's just say andy Reid makes 18 million, right? How many players in the NFL making more than 18 million? 300. 400. I mean, how many quarterbacks? Oh, so think about how far you got to go down before you find a quarterback that's making 20 million. I mean, because they started 60, and now you got receivers making 40. You got edge rushes making 40. You got corners making 20.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, you got a tight end making 19, running backs making 20.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

So.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You probably got at least 100 players. At least 100. I'll say. 100. At least. Making $20 million a year, Ocho. Yeah. At least 100 NFL players.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Man, you won't believe what I just did, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What'd you just do?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I just went to drink the Bull. It's Covered with ants.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, you must have left it out.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

It's right here in front of me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You just opened it?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

No, it's been sitting there. I've been, you know, sipping. But when I just drank just now, I'm like, what the hell is all this on my lips? It's covered with ants. So I done drank some of the ants by accident.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You say you try. You say you like chocolate covered ants. So they just didn't have no chocolate on them? Nah.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you all right? It won't kill you. You ate. You don't ate worse things than that.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Like what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no. I'm on probation. I've been taught probation.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Russell Wilson could be on the trade block for several teams. Despite Wilson publicly stating that he's not going to request a trade from the Giants, he's expected to emerge as a major trade candidate Prior to the Nov. 4 deadline. Quarterback injuries have already hit the Commanders. Vikings, 49ers and Bengals. Ocho, which team could you see shooting their shot at Russia?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I mean, you look at the situation for the teams you just made. You said commanders. Jaden Daniels will be back. Viking JJ McCarthy. How long JJ out? JL is not. Not out that long.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They didn't say. I think they said two, maybe two weeks.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. So JJ will be back. If anything, the only, the only team that makes sense, whose quarterback is going to be out for a substantial amount of time is the Bengals. So, I mean, Russell Wilson to the Bengals. If anything, I mean, I like it being that Russell Wilson to throw up the ball and he goes to a situation that's a little bit better for him because you have players around you where you don't have to elevate them. They're going to elevate your play. Being at what he has at his disposal as far as weaponry is concerned. Joe Burrow doesn't come back to December. And the funny thing, depending on how we play this year, if we're not doing well, Monday night's going to be a tall tale for that. Depending on how that game goes, there's a chance Russell Wilson might. Might be in the building next week.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think the thing. The problem is oo he'll be going to a team that his offensive line isn't much better than what he's leaving in New York.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen now, now he does have. He does. But we've seen at the end of the day, it's hard to throw back. Get completions on your back.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely. Most definitely. But it's sure gonna be sweet having one in five to throw to, though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, for sure.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

We're gonna be sweet having one in five to throw to. I know I could tell you that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jake Browning got one in five to throw to. Would you see him running for his life? And he gonna be running for his life again because guess what? Yeah, the Broncos could rush the passer.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, man, we ain't paying the Broncos. No, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, you gotta rush the pass.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I'm telling you, when we come on the show Monday.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, it's over for you.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday. It's Monday night game. Do me a favor. Don't come on here sad. Don't come in here with no excuse.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't gonna be sad. Oh, come on.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Sean Payton did this, and Bo Nicks didn't do that. I don't. I don't want to hear nothing. One thing about. One thing. I know about Jake Browning. He has never lost a Monday night game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't never played. Does that matter? Does that matter?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

All right, you'll see.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. See, Lance Briggs apparently gave one of the worst halftime speeches ever. Take a listen to this, Ocho. Wait, Bridge said, the worst speech I've ever heard in my entire career. Like high school, college and pro. It was the worst trash. We were losing to Cincinnati. Lance was in charge of the huddle that week because I think Lack was out. I think Lack was hurt that year. So Lance gets everybody together. He said, I usually don't say nothing. I usually don't speak out on these matters like this. But everybody bring it in. I got something to say, and I usually don't do this, man. We. We gotta win. Bring it in, man. The worst speech I've ever had. That was it. That was it. And everyone when he said it was like he didn't motivate nothing. He didn't motivate offense. But, man, we lost worse after this. I felt like Queen. We came out and scored five more touchdowns after that speech last Briggs. She's one of the worst motivational speakers I ever heard in my life. Just not for motivational speeches.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, but that's funny, man. I was waiting on something deep. I was waiting on something deep and philosophical when it comes to speeches, on the best person I know. When I think about giving speeches. And I ain't even play with. I ain't even play with Ray. I ain't even play with Ray. But when it comes to, you know, motivating.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And the right things, man. Ray special, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, I was tired, man. When you talk about Breaking up any dogs in the house, Right. I did that the first week, right. I was out of breath. I moved to the back. Hey, Ocho, I right down there with it. Hit the dogs in the house. Any dog to the house. I'm right there with it, Bocho. The next week, I'll be the back. Yep, I'm here. Hey.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Well, Aiden boy used to be. Hey, y'.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Y' all used to be getting turned.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, we be hype. Hey, the greatest intro Suge had still has the greatest intro.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

In sports history. Nobody will ever top that entry easily. Nobody. Nobody will ever top Suge's entry. Yeah, nobody. So don't try if you want. John Wall, Dougie.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Never had an entry, an intro, nobody. Michael Jordan, Bull. And that guard. Six. Six from North Carolina. Hey, and from. At six foot eight. From St. Vincent St. Mary.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ain't nobody touching sh.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ain't nothing like Ray, boy. Wasn't nothing like Ray.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but I couldn't. Hey, man, I. I had done got old Lo. I had to. I had to get to the back. I a had them kind of lungs on me no more, man. Hey, cuz, I was already. I'm already like, see, me and you a lot of like, see, I'm already an emotional player. I already get hyped.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So the last thing I need, man, I end up took, man, I let them boys talk me up. Ocho. Yeah. You know, used to give you these. These pills to get you. To get you, you know, get you, get you going. Yeah, they like, man, I said, man, man, give me one of them things. So, yeah, I took two of them, Mocho. Two.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Before the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like 30 minutes before the game, mocho. Nah, as a matter of fact, Ocho, like, we coming off the field, so I get. We get to the locker room, right? Hey, man, let me get. Hey, let me get everybody. I see everybody else taking a mocho. I'm rookie. Hey, man, give me that right? Oh, Lord, man, my.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Be fast.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I said, damn. I said, well, you know what? You know, hey, and I'm lit. You know, everybody got headphones on, so I got me some headphones. You know, I had my headphones so I would get right to it or try to be.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But my heart's like, okay, let me take the headphones off. Yeah, maybe that. Maybe it's the music trying to take them deep breaths. My heart ain't slowing down, though. Oo. Oo. We win the kick and we deferred. So I gotta run, so. Oh, I gotta run down. No no, no, no, no. We lost the kick. I'm gonna kick return, right? So, you know, I gotta go. So you know, Ocho, I gotta run back.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey. They called 12 personnel. I ain't gonna be able to go in there.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

What happened?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I couldn't catch my breath, Ocho. I had to go. Oh, I had to go get on oxygen.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

What the hell they gave you?

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think they gave me fin. Fin, Ocho. I swear. I swear my heartbeat, my heart had to be racing about 200, about 205, 210 beats a minute.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Minute.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack, man. Cause I'm already. Because I'm already. I already get pumped.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man. I like to die. I had. I really. This is why I stopped listening, because. But I had to listen to something like slow music. I needed something to slow me down. So I needed a Maxwell. I needed a Michelle and dago cello. I needed. Sad day. I needed something to slow me down. Oh. I would literally run one play and have to come out the game and get on oxygen. Oo I'll. I'll be. Oo I'll be so hyped. I'll be so excited, man. Oo. I mean, I run down there because of kickoff back then. See, it's not like it is now. Oo they let you get as far as you want to. Oo I line up at 15 yards, right? And. And tread well with our first kicker. He would look to the left, you good, look to the right. I was on the left hand side. He look, I'm good, but I'm way back to Ocho, man. When I joke with. Hey, when I joke, will drop his head. Ocho, you gone. When he kicked the ball. Ocho, I'm in a full spirit. By the time the guy said to.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Turn around, you probably going by him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I push him in his chest. He done. He. He gone. Hey, and you run it because. So you know, I was a three. So I'm right there, I'm right there. I'm right there on the numbers, right? I'm the three. I'm knifing it. Go away from if you want to, right? I'm knifing right away, but I'm going straight to the oxygen tank. Just so you know. Just so you know. Hell no.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, that's funny. That's funny.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If you notice, Ocho, I wasn't one of those guys that, like when my team teammate scored, Ocho, if I wasn't in the end zone, I get you on the sideline. I'm out of gas with you. I ain't got enough for you. I need to be in the end zone when you score or close by. Other than that, I'm blowed.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Catch on the sideline.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, I catch him on the sideline. Oo we're back with our newest segment, Player Fade, presented by Prize Fix. How it works. The Nightcap staff has made lineups for the picks. Either you play the lineup or make some changes. Choosing more or less. GNA get this right promo square. Jaylen Herz. More than 05 passing yard. That's easy, man. I got that. Daniel Jones, who They play more than 1.5 touchdown passes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Who they playing?

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Rams in. In. In. In la.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I. I don't think they gonna lose.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They're playing in la.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That don't mean nothing. Daniel Jones look like a whole different quarterback.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm going under. Less. Michael Parsons, more than 0.75 sacks in his return. More. He gonna get at least one two. All he need is one.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, man, where these little coming from.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man? And you talking about come visit you and you got ants, Man, I wish I might.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You don't got no ants?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, I ain't got no ants.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

80. 80. Hey, these sugar.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I. I had ants because somebody thought this was a dinner table. Because what? No, because you eat. Because you eat it. I'm like, well, damn. I gotta. I got. I got a bar. They got four. Four chairs. I got a breakfast thing. They got five chairs, and I got another seating area to hold 12 people. Jordan like, Jordan eating here. And then throw the stuff in the.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Trash and left it there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you know what you call the energy drink queen over here? That's all she do and throw everything in the trash.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And you heard me. Huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

It's them little sugar ants.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay? The ants.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, how they. You know, I'm always being confused about, like, ain't nothing here. How the hell they get in the house?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Easy. They got key.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Nah, I'm for real. I'm just. I'm just curious.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, you see how small ants are? You make it seem like that they're elephant. They just walk right up under the door. Y' all have rain? It had. Had it rained in Miami all day to day, man. What wouldn't you want to get out of rain?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

All right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's how it works, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Okay, I got you. I ain't really had no problem with ants or infestation before, so it's kind of new to me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

How it works, Ocho. Animals want to get out the rain. So guess what? They're gonna go someplace where it's dry. Ocho. A. I heard Ocho place is nice and dry. Okay, let's meet over there.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ta da.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I know how to. I know how to kill them though. They got a little thing at Walmart. It's like a little. Little circle and they, and they. They go to it and they all die. I'm gonna go get that in the morning.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that's what you're thinking, huh?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. Combat. It's called combat.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't know what it's called, but I know if you don't get it, you don't get somebody to come out there, they gonna be back.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, I mean, I'm. I'm mad because I drunk him by accident.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You okay? Ojo? They gonna kill you. Like I say, you don't ate worse stuff.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Not, not really. I mean, what, like, you know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm on conversation probation until 26 and my parole officer is watching the show. Oh, Lord. Ocho. The bleeding continue at the US team at the Rider, the 45th Rider Cup. America's lost three of four foursome matches and trail the Europeans 8 5. And what quickly becoming a Beth played Beth Page black blowout for third straight session. Very little went right for the US team only to win to. To only one of his three losses. Reached the 17th hole. Barring a miraculous comeback, the US team in danger of losing the Ryder club for the 11th time in the past 15 matches to the Europeans on American soil for the first time since 2012.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Damn, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Look here. I follow golf a little bit, right. Some of these guys. Oo, I ain't heard of it. And they kicking the mess out of guys that I know.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you know what? We shouldn't be surprised. Tiger woods, many believe, is the greatest golfer. He was terrible at Ryder Cup. Phil Mickelson was terrible at Ryder Cup.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And it's a lot of the guys that's. That you don't think of. I don't know, maybe the Europeans, maybe they just get up for it. Maybe that's. Maybe that's everything to them. But all I know is they put foot to Americans. You know what? When it comes to this.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. The Ryder Cup. Yes. Yeah. I'm not, you know, you know, I'm not much of a golf golfer, let alone a golf fan in general. But I mean, I'm assuming they've been dominating us for a very long time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, they, if they win this one, Ocho. They ain't Ocho. They beating us Five, four. That means they up five holes with four holes to play. There's nothing you can do, right? They're beating us six. Five. They're beating us four, three. Come on, man. Damn.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That. That's. That's. It's times like that. It's times like that where they could use my expertise and in my skill.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, this is ridiculous, man. I mean, I can't remember big time, last time Big John Ron won something. He out there putting foots at everybody. Scott. Scotty Sheffield is the best golfer in the world by far.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, Scotty. That's my dog.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, you need to call your dog and tell him he need to do something.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I'm a dog.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause everybody putting foots in us, I.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Miss the Ryder Cup. We dumb. We.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I don't give a damn what it's called.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

We kind of. We kind of dominate every other thing, especially individually.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, I tell you what, they're gonna need to win probably about 15 of these matches. What's the likelihood, man? We down 11. What? We down 11. 11 to four and a half. Yeah, 11 and a half to four and a half. Really, man, this thing. Do something. Fight.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

At least pinch him.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man, this. Man, this is ridiculous, man. Look here, Ocho, this thing ain't even close. My sister in here watching. I said, why you watching it? You. Man, somebody won't nothing fall for us. I mean, she all did. She all did it.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, man, that's funny.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, she all did it, obviously. My brother, he had surgery yesterday, so he'll he listening to it, but he ain't. He can't watch it.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

How you feeling? You good?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah. He. He has to spend. Basically. He's spending probably about 16 of his hours face down.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

16?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Oh, he get. No, he gotta be in that face cradle, right?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Like. Like the massage table, basically.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep. Yeah, it's tough. Now it's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q and A.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Let me throw this. This can out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hell, you done drunk most of them now. You might as well finish them off. He talk about. He talking about maybe throw the can away. He done drug a whole can full of. Yeah, bring them back, Ocho. I mean, them cousins and friends that you throwing in the trash. The rest of them want to join your rest of their family in your belly.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Nah, I only smuggle. I only swallow like, three.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's three more than you should. Aaron Jones said the Rider cup is embarrassing. Whoever coaches the team needs to be gone. We have the best in the world. We don't I think Keegan Bradley is the captain in. Keegan Bradley the captain. I'm almost certain it is. Look, you got. I think the thing is oo is that you have to understand. I heard the guy talking the other day, Keegan Bradley is the captain. And then, you know, but he was saying is that according to the course, the Europeans, they pick guys. Let's just say it's a dog leg. This way they pick guys that can play the dog legs well.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The first hole is kind of set up like the last hole and boom, boom, boom. And there's a 60% chance if you win the first hole, you're probably going to win the matchup, so forth and so on. So they get guys accordingly. They just not necessarily taking the best player. We taking the best players that might not fit the golf course. Oh.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

So I mean, listen, it's. It's golf. It's golf. You, you have, you have, you have golfers that play better on certain courses.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I mean if, yes. If it's that easy and that strategic, then we should be able to do the same thing.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, we not. So we not.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That's nice. That's nice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

If there's a course that you need to draw, you need a fade, you get stingers. It all depends, right? And it seems like they, they push all the right effing buttons every effing time. Man, if I was a golf. You know, if. Boy, if I was. Ooh. Boy if I. If I was really a golf golf fanatic and we getting the do blow I like man, please. Ugh. Talking Mayhem podcast said Deion Sanders need to actually recruit. Lol. So sitting these players homes and recruit overhauling your team every year via portal doesn't work, bud. Maybe, maybe, maybe it's going to be hard for you to recruit. I mean I look at it like this. If Coach Saban, Coach Bryant, Joe Paterno, Barry Switzer, Dr. Tom Osborne, if they went to players houses.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I understand your time.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hold on. You don't think time went to players houses?

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's my understanding. He doesn't. I guess he beat him when they, when the. On the official. When the visit.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

See if we can get confirmation of that. Ash.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

I think I see, I see pride. See prime as a coach that would. Would want to meet the parents face to face though.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Well, we about to find out. Look, obviously he can't travel. You know. Look, he really have some limitations now dealing with that bladder issue. He had the surgery. How soon could he fly after the surgery? You know, right. He does not do in home visits.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh, okay. That's different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And. And. And coaches are gonna look at. Players are gonna look at that like, oh, you too good to come to us? Because as I said, I'm ocho. Let me ask you a question. Let's just say for the sake of argument, you wanted. You wanted your girlfriend to meet your family, and she say, nah, I don't meet family. Tell me what you thinking.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Why, Matter of fact, I just.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I. I don't do that. That's not what I do.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You know what? Matter of fact, if. If you don't want to meet my family, you don't do that. Just saying. You ain't really the one for me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. I'm gonna make it easy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah. Hey, could you imagine prying, walking in, walking to your house flat?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, I could. The same thing I imagine if Coach Saban walked into my home, if Barry Switzer, a Dr. Tom Osborne. Absolutely. Or. Or Coach Bear Bryant walks into my living room, walks into my grandmother's house. Dean Smith walks into my grandmother's house. John Wooden. Coach Wooden walks into my grandmother's house. Absolutely. I know what that means.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, hold on. Can you imagine? You know what's gonna happen, right? You know that's gonna be a whole fiasco. Boy, y'. All, boy won't believe who. Coming to the house and sit down with me and moms and pops today.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

And everybody. The whole family done show.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Whole neighborhood.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Whole neighborhood outside waiting.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yes, I could imagine.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes, that's a. That's. That lets me know they really want. Look here. Oo if Coach Saban show up. What that telling you? If Coach Wooden, Coach Dean Smith, if they show up to you? Because. Come on. Oo a lot of these. Now, everybody ain't gonna be middle class, but everybody ain't got no screen door that's hanging off. And everybody don't live in the projects. But for Coach Saban or one of these big time coaches to come sit there on my. I got duct tape, electric tape. I got a. We got phone books and Sears and Roebuck Books and JCPenney Books that's holding up the coffee table. Hit for him to come sit down, man, please. That'd be a huge honor. Unbelievable honor.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

But you know what? It's so funny. These days, you ain't got to do that. You just open up your checkbook.

[Shannon Sharpe]

They still coming? Yeah, them parents want to see you. How you gonna treat. How you gonna. How you gonna make my son a better player? How are you gonna make my son A better man. And how you gonna get him to the NFL? Because I want to hear you tell me.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, it's just. It just. I. It's too many. Too many. Too many discrepancies, and then, I don't know, it's different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying, Ocho.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, I know. I know what you mean. I know what you mean. But we do have to understand. This is prime we talking about, you know?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, homes. And you need to understand, this ain't nobody.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

This ain't just know anybody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, he embarked. He embarked into a job. That. This is what's required. See, I can't. Ocho. I can't say, man. I don't really like blood. If I'm a veterinarian, man, I don't like blood. But I'm gonna be a doctor.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Doctor. Right, right, right, right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're a coach now.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're prime. And I understand your coach prime. But there are certain aspects that comes along with coaching.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's above the individual.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, I know. Yeah. Listen, I.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like I said, all I'm saying is this. I know two coaches, and I know Ozzie Nome, who was my former boss, general manager Bear Bryant, came and sat down in his house. Coach Bryant run six national championships. Those top players. Coach Saban won seven national championships. He came into people's grandmother's home, mom's homes, uncles, aunts.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Out on the couch, sat at a dinner table, saw the cross and told him what he was going to do for their young, for their sons, their grandsons, their nephews. That goes a long way. That means something. Because I want a man to look you, Ocho. You know how we think. Oh, you think you, too, Ocho? You think you too good to come to my house, huh? Oh, that was okay. Hey.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That'S fine.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Shakur said, what up? What's with Deion Sanders? Time to have a conversation about him. Or is it Pat, the former Trash Bingo's coordinator? Sorry. You know what, Bingles? Look, the first couple of drives, I thought, like, man, man, see, you look real. The man, the buff look really good.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, really good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But, man, damn, the defense, man, can't stop anybody. And then on third down, it's a struggle to get third and one, third and four. I was just like, oh, hell no. Maybe they need. Maybe they need an offensive coordinator with more imagination. I don't know, Joe.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, imagination. No imagination. What you need to execute the plays on the field.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jims and Joe's.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

There you go. And that's no disrespect. To them young bulls out there.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're right. You got to have the players. But how do you get said players to go to Colorado?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Money talks. In this day and age, everybody has a price. Everybody.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Shakur said they need Turkey and Jesus in Boulder. I guess they need your royal highness.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Hey, he was talking trash.

[Shannon Sharpe]

SMB. I think that's his name. Ben Salmon. The. Your royal highness, your majesty or what? The name that he goes by. Yeah, yeah. I mean, well, if you had that kind of money, you definitely probably could get some players.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Listen. Yeah. That kind of money. Colorado be undefeated because they have every player they want, offense and defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, yeah. You definitely. They did.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jolie said, more importantly, Georgia Tech won with former TMU Texas A M. I guess Hayes King in Georgia lost. So it's a great day. Yes. Georgia stopped the two point conversion at Wake Forest in order to win the game. They were behind pretty much the whole day, came back and found a way to win. So. Yep. If you a Tech fan, I'm trying to figure out that's another team that got two names. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket and the Rambling Wreck. How you get two names in college football? Auburn Tigers and a War Eagle. The Rambling Wreck. The Yellow Jackets.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Christian Field said, glad y' all lost money picking against Bama fools who lost money.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

You bet against. You bet. You bet with Bama.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I ain't. I. I don't bet.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Oh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, had I, I probably would have lost. I probably would have gave out of. Gave up those two and a half.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because it wasn't like a whole bunch. And then, you know, I mean, we saw Georgia on a neutral. We saw Georgia, Florida State. And then, yeah, they blew the doors. They blew the doors off somebody. 73, 77 or nothing. And then they beat Wisconsin at home. And I think they had a bye week and then they come, you know, beat Georgia. So I probably had. I had a bet, which I don't. I probably would have lost. Ojo. I ain't gonna even lie. Kimber Norwood Jr. Said, oh, I'm ready for Nightcap bowl on Monday. Oh, yeah, I'm ready, too. It's going down, Kemper. It's going down.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Make sure you have some tissue with you, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right. See how you talking.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Who they. Who they think they gonna beat? Them Bangles.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You know when they. When they gonna win a game?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Let me tell you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Let me tell you whatever.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Let me tell you what goddamn UNO gonna do The Patrick Sertain jr. What.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are you gonna do?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Let me tell you what Uno gonna do to man. Take him to the cleaners, okay? Cleaners. And certain better hope. He better hope he ain't got to deal with goddamn T. Higgins.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I just hope you better hope you can get it off. Bonito coming. Who? Bonito, man.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

We ain't worried about Jit.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He'd be coming up, he'd be flying off the edge.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Alec, he cool. Ma'.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Am.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ma' am's gonna lock him up. Orlando Brown gonna lock him up.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ma' am's go. Oh, man, watch. Bonito just dip up on him. Go. I think I say, I thought Benito back probably had like two. Probably two. Two and a half.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Two and a half what?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sacks.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

But you don't. Hey, you don't even believe that two.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And a half.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Ain'T happening.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lead a man. Will Jamar Chase have over under 13 touchdowns this season? How many he got right now? He got one right now. Right? Don't you. How many touchdowns the Chase got?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

That's a good question. I'm not sure. We're in week four.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm not sure he got one. He had 17 last year, but they had a couple of games where he had like three, two. I mean, all it takes, you know.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Look, it take one game to catch fire, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And. And. And touchdowns, like sacks, they come in bunches. Yeah, you have. You. You go and stretch Ocho, you have four or five games, and you'll have a touchdown every game. And then one game be thrown in there, you'll have two, and next thing you know, you looked up like, damn, I have no touchdowns. Now I got six.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, that's. That's how it happened, too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's exactly how it happens. David Washington said, I'm a lifelong football super fan with deep insight, subscribed and ready to prove my takes if I'm 90% right. Give me a shot on your podcast team. I mean, what do you do, David? I mean, it's not like we. We don't have a. Like a fantasy or a pickup segment. The little segment that we pick for a prize picks Kevo Kevar Kebo. Green Bay on upset alert. Let you tell it. Who?

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

The Lions. Say tomorrow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The Lions. He said. He said the packers on. Packers play the Cowboys.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, they. Man, man, please.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lions play the Browns now.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Watch how they struggle against the defense. Watch. Hey, everybody in the chat. Remember this. Tomorrow. What? Now, the Lions might win the game, but watch how the Lions struggle.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What you mean might Win the game.

[Chad Johnson (Ochocinco)]

Okay, Adam joke is good, man. God damn. If they had. If they had any, any kind of offense.

[Shannon Sharpe]
