Key Discussion Points & Timestamps

1. NFL Officiating Controversy: Seahawks’ Two-Point Conversion

[03:17 – 08:00]

• Shannon opens by spotlighting Rams coach Sean McVay questioning the NFL's decision to award Seattle a two-point conversion after a play ruled incomplete was later overturned (03:17).
• Both hosts express confusion and suspicion, Shannon admitting, “I've never seen anything like that... If you rule it incomplete... you can't award the two-point play.” (04:24)
• Chad questions the legitimacy and suggests plays like this fuel fan theories the NFL is "rigged":

  “It's situations like this why people think the NFL is R-I-G-E-D. Stuff like this... makes folks suspicious.” (05:11)

• They critique the Rams’ conservative play-calling and poor special teams decisions, especially punting to a dangerous returner like Rashid Shahid (06:01 – 07:36).

---

2. Jaguars Extend Jacobi Meyers – Impact on Offense

[08:07 – 11:41]

• Jacksonville locks up WR Jacobi Meyers with a $60M deal ($40M guaranteed). Shannon details his trade from the Raiders and productivity (5-1 record since arriving):

  “Meyers' addition's been a huge boost for the Jags' offense and quarterback Trevor Lawrence... They are 5 and 1, averaging almost 32 points a game, second only to the Rams.” (08:07)

• Chad notes the turnaround in Jacksonville:

  “You go from Vegas, wasn't conducive to winning. Since he got to Jacksonville, they're five and one... Trevor Lawrence looking like Aaron Rodgers in his prime.” (09:09)

• Fun banter about Florida cities and no state income tax for players, celebrating Meyers’ “get that bread” moment (10:41).

---

3. Cam Newton’s Comments: Media Pay Gaps & Black Analysts

[20:27 – 28:16]

• Shannon brings up Cam Newton’s remarks from Funky Friday:

  “‘I don't get no Brady deal. I don’t get no Romo deal. That’s just the facts. Am I bitter? Hell no…But look at people’s pockets. It’ll make you upset.’” (20:27)

• Shannon acknowledges the massive deals for white QBs-turned-analysts (Brady, Romo) and credits Romo for raising standards and salary for game commentators.
• Sharpe notes the job’s difficulty and why he’s never wanted to do live color commentary:

  “It’s not as easy as you think…even Tom Brady isn't turning down that kind of money…$400 million for a part-time gig.” (24:03)

• Chad expresses belief that Cam could succeed, but admits he'd have to “work on my goddamn cursing.” (22:40)
• Discussion of race, fame, and industry barriers for black former QBs in broadcast booths, agreeing opportunity rarely comes at the highest tier (Brady/Romo got “slot one” coverage instantly, rare for non-QBs or non-white analysts). (27:35)

Notable Quote:

“Normally you start out at the lower level. Troy [Aikman] started at the two and worked up to one. Tony and Brady started out in the one slot—which is rare…”
– Shannon Sharpe (27:35)

---

4. Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua: Fight Hype and Realism

[30:27 – 42:24]

• Shannon announces Jake Paul’s trash talk at weigh-in:

  “He yelled for Joshua: ‘You listen to me, brother…when that bell rings, I’m coming in there and...’” (33:53)

• Chad warns of reality:

  “But you’re fighting a world champion. No matter how much training Jake Paul has done, he doesn’t have the ring experience Anthony Joshua has… them punches is a lot different.” (34:26)

• Shannon draws parallel to other sports, explaining why pro boxers’ skillsets outclass celebrities/newcomers:

  “There’s football speed, then there’s track speed… it's different. Just like there’s boxer power and then everybody else.” (35:34)

• Both agree Jake Paul’s improvement is real, but until he faces a top contender his own age, legitimacy will be questioned:

  “Until it’s a fight that’s sanctioned by the WBC, the IBF, Ring magazine, people won’t believe it’s on the up and up.” (39:27)

• Chad jokes about challenging Andre Ward and fantasizes about upcoming big-name boxing matchups (44:51).

---

5. Exclusive Interview: Seahawks LB Ernest Jones IV

[47:38 – 53:43]

• Shannon and Chad welcome Ernest Jones IV after Seattle's wild comeback win.
• Jones attributes the turnaround to Rashid Shahid’s punt return:

  “Once he took that return back, we like, okay, we still in this thing.” (48:18)

• He details defensive communication and refusing to lose hope, citing the "Death Zone" mentality:

  “We speak about the death zone… everything matters.” (49:02)

• Jones emphasizes Seattle’s never-quit culture after 3 turnovers but still nearly 600 yards of offense:

  “Don't think it’s over just because you up. It’s gotta be fourth quarter, 00 on that clock for us to give up.” (49:52)

• He candidly shares his hunger for a missed interception, the team’s approach to playoffs, and the deep emotional pulse fueling the squad.

  “They thought it was sweet. You went up 16 points, you thought it was good in the hood, but we still around, man.” (50:43)

• Shannon highlights postseason stakes:

  “Now you’re the number one seed in the NFC…. What do you guys need to do to make sure you close this thing out the right way?” (51:54)

---

6. Listener Q&A and Lightning Round

[Shannon Sharpe]

Dealing with Hydrodenitis Superativa HS is tough, but you're not alone.

[Chad Johnson]

Before I started Cosentyx, I looked at.

[Shannon Sharpe]

The website and saw it had many years of clinical research that made me feel confident.

[Chad Johnson]

Cosentyq Secukinumab is prescribed for adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suprativa.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't use if allergic to Cosentyx.

[Chad Johnson]

Get checked for TB before starting. Increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur like TB or other serious bacterial, fungal or viral infections. Some were fatal. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms like fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough had a vaccine or plan to or if IBD symptoms develop or worsen serious allergic reactions and severe eczema like skin reactions may occur. Learn more at 1-844-cosentyx or cosentyx.com don't wait. Ask your dermatologist about Cosentyx after the game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sean McVay said he isn't one making excuses but don't understand how the Seahawks were awarded a two point conversion on on a backwards pass when the play had already been ruled incomplete. Both teams were preparing for the ensuing kickoff. He wants clarity on it. I've never seen anything like that. I grew up around the game. Well, you're right.

[Chad Johnson]

So you, you know that, that, that is kind of, is kind of fishy when you think about it. No, cuz the plate that. I mean the whistle was blowing and it was called. It was.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But he ruled it.

[Chad Johnson]

That's tough.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but here's the thing, Ocho. It was. I thought only plays that reviewable was it was a turnover or scoring play.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I guess they deemed it because they ruled it incomplete. To my knowledge, McDonald didn't challenge it. So look, they got that thing in what is Secaucus or whatever it is, Mount Laurel, wherever they are. They called down that. That came from headquarters.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Mont. Laurel.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Mount Laurel. Yeah, that came from it because, because like I said it doesn't. It didn't. It don't make sense to me now that like I said, that's what I wanted to hear. He said the pass on the back on the backwards pass when the play had already been ruled incomplete. Both teams were preparing for the ensuing kickoff. He just wants clarity on it. I've never seen anything like that. I grew up around the game. I agree, Sean, I agree. I agree. I haven't. If you rule it incomplete and worst case scenario, you can't water but you can't warm the two point play.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Because they at that point, once you rule incomplete, I stop. So that explains why they stopped.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. And see it's it's situations like this why so many people think the NFL is R R I G E D. You're right. Stuff. Stuff like this, being being down 16 and miraculously being able to come back in the fourth quarter when you ain't been able to do it for the last three.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You're right.

[Chad Johnson]

But. But hey, hey, five offensive possessions back to back to back to back and the ramp and been able to move the ball up and down the field. But all of a sudden, these five possessions, you can't do nothing with the ball. And the one time you do pun it, Rashad Rashid, Rashid Shahid takes it back for a touchdown. Now that. Now they back, you get the ball back, and then you have another and they go right, man, don't. Don't get me.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I thought that they kind of did get a little. A little conservative, because when that guy got that. When the guy got the interception, the defensive lineman got that pick, they kind of ran the ball like twice into the line. No, bro, I'm going for the juggler now. Right, but plus also punter. You know, this man is a dangerous guy at returning the ball. You can't put the ball down the middle of the field. You got to put him on. You got to put him at the hatches. What? It's got to be outside one way or another. You got to condense the field.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Or kick it out of bounds. Kick it as far as you can and. And aim. I'm not sure if he has that kind of quality or that kind of leg to be able to direct those kicks out of bounds, you know, back far, putting them, pinning them back as far as he can. But, hey, that's what happened. You kick the Speedzers, you don't want to kick the Devin Hester.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right.

[Chad Johnson]

You don't want to kick the Dante Hall. You just don't. Because there's a good chance, especially with the way the rules are now, man, house call.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cause if you don't make it, I mean, you let him get. You let him get down the field. So now, no, you can't. You can't do that. I mean, I can't believe they still punt the ball down the middle of the field, especially when you backed up Ocho. Now if you like, if you. If you had to, like, even if you had to fit it because you want to try to angle it, because you want to get it out of bounds, you want to pin them up. Do you want to pin them back? The more you put it down the middle of the field, there's a greater chance the ball is going to go in the end zone. So you kind of want to punch the ball at an angle even when you, you know, 50 yard line. But definitely don't put it down the middle of the field when you backed up.

[Chad Johnson]

Nah, absolutely.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And you best run and get that guy running start.

[Chad Johnson]

And that's the wrong muff Mojo to give a running start too.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, the wrong one. That's too good now. So I agree with you, Sean McVeigh. I. You just need some clarity now what now they're going to come back and say well they shouldn't have, they shouldn't have awarded them two point conversation. Too late now.

[Chad Johnson]

As though it's too late then shoot. They, they listen this game, they were supposed to have a bye week. If that's the case.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yep, you're absolutely right, Ocho. The Jaguars receiver Jacoby Myers agreed to a contract extension Ocho worth $60 million and tied him to the Jags. And through the 2028 season. The deal includes 40 million in guaranteed money, the Jags and the 2026 fourth and sixth round picks to the Las Vegas Raiders for Myers at the Nov. 4 trade deadline. Myers has 27 catches, 355 yards, three touchdowns and six games with the Jags and was was scheduled to become a free agent after the season. Miles addition has been a huge boost for the Jags offense and quarterback Trevor Lawrence since he arrived. They are 5 and 1, averaging almost 32 points a game, second in the NFL only behind the Rams at 34. And Lawrence has thrown 14 touchdown passes and only five interception, three of which came in one game.

[Chad Johnson]

This is what I'm talking about. You go from a situation in Las Vegas, it wasn't conducive to you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It's not conducive for winning.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, that, that too. You go to Jacksonville, boom. Ever since you get there, they're five and one for some reason. Now the offense, they putting up points. Trevor Lawrence looking like goddamn Aaron Rodgers in his prime.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He's looking like Trevor Lawrence supposed to.

[Chad Johnson]

Look, hey, like, like the number one pick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And, and you know, Brian Thomas is kind of like, you know, it's like he hadn't played like he played last year. Jacoby Myers stepped right in. Trevor Lawrence does not have a problem throwing. They still run the football with atn. Yeah, but I, I like, I like this, I like this pickup for him for the Jags getting Jacoby Myers. Hold up. He was with, Wasn't he with the Patriots? Yeah, he was a quarterback at one point in time. Wasn't he a quarterback coming out of NC State? I think he transitioned to wide receiver. Ocho.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, he Too little to play quarterback, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are you sure? Yeah, he was a quarterback. But he was a quarterback, right? He never played quarterback. Oh, okay. I thought he played quarterback and then moved to wide receiver.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, that's dope. Congratulations. Congratulations.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Get that bread to him.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Leave a state with no income tax, go to another state with no income tax and get that money.

[Chad Johnson]

Annie, Annie. Hold on. That ain't it. Annie went to one of. One of the better cities in Florida, huh? What we talking about?

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Chad Johnson]

Okay. I mean, it's not Miami, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

But.

[Chad Johnson]

But Duvall. Nice. Now you got to get out.

[Shannon Sharpe]

[Shannon Sharpe]

Cam Newton has implied that there's a pay gap in the media for black quarterbacks. The conversation stemmed from conversation with Jamel Hill on his Funky Friday podcast. Can we keep it funky? I don't get no Brady deal. I don't get no Romo deal. That's just the facts. Am I bitter? Hell no. Cause no. Well, cause knowing what I know now, being a member of the media, I know Brady worked his ass off. And he has to work his ass off to get prepared for that show that he presents to the world. So does Romo. And he's commenting. I can appreciate that. I can see why he makes that type of money that's what he does make. Now. I've never wanted to call gay. I know. I don't. I don't want to call games. I don't. I want to talk about before it happens or after it happens. I don't want to put that kind of time in to talk about why it's happening. It's not as easy as you think. But. But I will say this. Look at people's pockets. It'll make you upset. It will. Brady had no TV experience. He gets 37 million. Tony. Ron, they should. Everybody in the media that calls game should applaud Tony Romo because what. Nobody making this kind of money until Tony Romo got that deal, right? Troy Aikman got his deal because of Romo. Brady got his deal because of Romo. He's like, hold on. They just gave a guy that didn't have any credentials. So you got to double hit. You got to double what you gave Romo. Romo's making 18, 19, 17, 18, 19, me. Whatever the case, we got Troy. Troy's like, hold on. Look at all this credential. And I've been doing this. A guy do this three years and he's getting this. So everybody should applaud Tony Romo. I've never wanted to call games. I'm good, right? I'm good. I was good. And I appreciate the opportunities that I had wherever I was. But what if. Where else am I going to make that kind of money and retired that I don't have to use my. I don't have to use my retirement Ocho. I get to. I get to live like I ain't even touched. You don't have to touch your retirement, right?

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, now that I think about it, you know, I think if Cam wanted to call games, he could. He could put himself in position to be able to do that. It's very, very difficult, obviously, to be. To be able to call games and be a colored commentator, but it's something that he can do. That's something that he can do because he knows the game. He knows the game. Hell, I really think I could. I could do color commentating, too. I just have to work on my goddamn cursing. Can you imagine me on NBC or CBS cursing?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, because the thing is, you curse so much now, it's going to be second nature. You're not going to be able to contain it.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, I be like, oh, what a kid. Oh, my bad. Hey, I. I couldn't. But you know what? You know what? Also now. Now you know what I am good at now, on here. On here, I could be myself.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, for sure.

[Chad Johnson]

On here, I could be myself, you know, and you've seen me in other rooms, in certain atmospheres, completely different person. I know how to hit that switch. So I. I probably could be able to do it. And I. I understand, you know, I'm very sharp in those areas, especially when that camera's rolling and being able to change the way I talk, the way that I pronounce my words, I. I can hit that switch. So I probably would be able to do it, but it would take. It would take me maybe a year or two before I'd have to. I'd have to perfect it, because that's something. If I go into something like that, I want to nail it. I don't want no mistakes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it's. But I mean, it was shocking to me because it looked like Brady had really never shown any interest in doing media. But when they come up with that kind of money, Somebody offer you 10 years at $400 million, how do you say no, even if you're not interested? How do you say no to that kind of money? Ocho, that's more money than you played in the 20 plus years that you were a quarterback in the NFL. And somebody's gonna give you that. And you only have to think about it, Ocho, you only work 20 weeks a year. Okay? You do a couple of spots here and there. Maybe you go on Fox or, or you go on. I, I don't know. They. I think they got some show at night to come on, and I don't know if he goes on that. Maybe he does a special assignment here or there. But you're not turning that kind of money down. Even, even Tom Brady, with all the money that he's made and all the endorsements that he has, he's not turning that, that level of money down. $400 million. Tony Romo. Tony Romo started. They got. They gave Tony Romo $4 million. Tony Romo was great at it. People say now he's not that good. Seem he's melded in. I don't know. I couldn't tell you one thing Tony Romo has ever said on TV because I don't listen to it. I don't know how good. People say Brady's not. I don't know.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I like Tony. Tony beat Tony because he knows the game so well. He had called a goddamn play out before the Blade. The Blade even happened. And he damn, he Damn near right 98% of the time.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So I don't know. I mean, but I know that's a hard job. I know it's something that I never wanted to do. I like what I do. I like what I did. The best thing for me, Undisputed was the perfect format for me because it gave me. It gave me an opportunity to show my personality and also show my knowledge on the vast topics. Because for the longest time, football players, they only knew football they weren't allowed to talk about. When basketball segments came up, the football player had to leave that segment or basketball. So now it was me. I had to like, man, look here. This is for a lot of people gonna come after me and let me show him. If you work at this, you can be really good. And so I'm watching. I'm listening to the guys that come on and they talking. And so when I hear LeBron say A. See, you know, the nail, and I see the dunker spot, and I see a flare, and I see a pin down, and I see. I was like, okay, what does that mean? So now I go to YouTube and see what that means. I'm gonna see if I can see what he's talking about. Oh, so that's what he's talking about. Oh, oh, he go under. He hedge. They trapped it. I'm like, damn. Okay. Football was easy. Track was easy. I played football. Track has always been my favorite sport. Okay, I'm talking to my brother, man. We're gonna be talking about this. What did Tiger hit? What should he have hit? Pitch and wedge. Put a rescue medal irons. So, you know, you just. You just got to put the time in and to be good. But at the same time, you gotta let your person. Undisputed gave me an opportunity to show my personality. People like, man, this.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, yeah, dude.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Funny. For real. And he know that. Stephen a. Gave me the opportunity to be on. On espn, a lot of the antics, you know, I didn't really feel comfortable taking it to espn, like, wearing the horse head and, you know, bringing the other stuff. Disney was different than Fox. And you have to understand. You have to understand the room that you're in. Ocho, people like, man, oh, you know, bro, Mo, that's Disney. That's. That's what the ears. That's Mickey Mouse and Minnie.

[Chad Johnson]

Different ball game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So it is. It is. It's so. But I mean, if Cam. If you want to do that. See, I think. But you got to realize that it's not often because normally you start out at the lower level. Troy started out at the two and then worked his way up to one. Tony and Brady started out in the one slot, which is rare because normally you have to work your way up, but, hey, it is what it is. I don't really look at it. It's something that I don't. I mean, it's not something that I care to do, so I don't really look at if it's something. I don't care. I don't care who, how much money somebody making. That ain't. Ain't my thing.

[Chad Johnson]

Well, shoot. Hey, hey, I'm. Hey, I think I'm finna shoot. I'm gonna go ahead and put my name in the hat, man. You know, how many. How many receivers call plays outside of Chris Collinsworth?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, I mean, Greg Olson is a tight end. He calls a lot of. A lot of, you know, Jonathan Vilma. Adam Archuleta marks the referee.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

James Lofton used to call. I'm just trying to go off the top of my head. Oh, I don't really.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, see. Hey, listen, I think most of the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Time it's a quarterback because they studied the most film. They know, you know, formations and things like. But Greg Olson, I mean, from what people tell me, Greg Olson is great.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, hey, Greg is nice, boy. Greg is nice. Greg Olson, to me, would basically be, like, in comparison to NFL quarterbacks. Greg Olson with color commentating would be like. Like Drew Brees. He'd be Drew Brees. That. That's how good he is. Now, I. I want to put my name in the hat. So Fox, cbs, espn, Netflix, Amazon, they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Do normally make you read for. They normally make you read or make you do a go, and they. They show you old film.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So. So you what, you actually watching the game?

[Chad Johnson]

I'm ready.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, here you go. They set you up? I'm.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm. I'm ready. One thing. Wait. One thing you know about me now, I know I play around a lot, but when it comes to the game of football now, and I got. I got. I got them specs in front of me. I'm good to go. My only problem is when I get excited, I start talking too goddamn fast. I talk too fast. I have to learn to slow myself down, because when I start talking fast, then I start stumbling over my words. I always do that because I get excited. I don't know why that's a problem I've always had, but I don't know. I think it would be fun. It'd be fun for people to see another side of me that I know I have that I just don't show because it just doesn't fit in this space we're in right now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Jake Paul has fired up some threatening words in the direction of Anthony Joshua ahead of their fight later this week they took the stage for their pre fight.

[Announcer]

What a matchup we got y'.

[Chad Johnson]

All.

[Announcer]

This is that classic HBCU vibe. Non stop action. The band is rocking and the crowd lit. Chance echo drum beat everybody showing that school pride game like this. Yeah, it calls for an ice cold Coca Cola. Ah, crisp and refreshing. That's a game changer right there. Yeah, that taste always hits the right note. Just like the band at halftime. And just like that, we're back at it. Passionate fans, school colors everywhere and in ice cold Coca Cola, that's a winning combo no matter the sport, no matter the yard. Everybody knows fan work is thirsty work. So grab a Coca Cola and keep that HB TCU pride going.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And Paul was pleased with his weight of 216 was announced to the press. After telling the crowd he was dialed in, he yelled for Joshua. You listen to me, brother. When that, when the bell rings, I'm coming in there and, and I'm coming on his. You know What? Joshua weighed 243.3, which is a pound and a half under the 245 limit.

[Chad Johnson]

What you think, what you think about this one, huh?

[Shannon Sharpe]

We're gonna see, I'm gonna watch and we're gonna come on. We're coming on after the fight or the, the college football game, whichever happens late last.

[Chad Johnson]

Whichever, Whichever. Okay. I like that. I like that. I think, I think Jake got to be careful. I, I understand. He's been training, he's been taking it very serious. But you're fighting a world champion. Not only you fighting the world champion, world champ. No matter how much training, no matter how much training Jake Paul has done, he doesn't have the ring experience. He doesn't have the ring experience that Anthony Joshua has. He doesn't have the ring iq. That takes time and years and years and years of mastering that Anthony Joshua has. I just, I just hope he played this safe. You're not going to go in there and just start swinging. That's not, that's not boxing. You're not going to do that. But you got to be cautious. You gotta. I don't care how much sparring you've done. Heavyweights like that, them punches is a.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Lot different for sure.

[Chad Johnson]

Them punches is a lot different and you won't understand it. But until you, until you feel it Hit your glove. You won't understand until you feel it. Hit your glove and you understand. You want to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I tell people. You don't understand speed till you go to a professional trip. Do you go to a track meet and then you have an appreciation like, okay, that speed, that's fast. Yeah, there, there, there's football speed and then there's track speed and, and it's, it's different. Oh. So look, I, I don't, look, I, I don't begrudge anybody. Look, if, if Anthony Joshua, they're going to go in there and I don't know you're gonna make 5, 10, 15, $20 million if you can get that fighting somebody of that caliber. Hey, I take my hat off to you.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, listen, hey, I think for Anthony Joshua, I, I wouldn't call it a tune up fight, but that this is to keep yourself active, to make a good chunk of change while doing it against someone who has taken the sport very seriously. Even though people want to make fun of him. He showed nothing but, nothing but class and grace in, in taking the game of boxing seriously. And, and I've enjoyed, I've enjoyed how good Jake Paul has gotten, you know, better.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Since he fought Nate Robinson his first fight, he's gotten better and better, I'll give him that.

[Chad Johnson]

Way better. Yeah, he has. But this is a tall task.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I agree.

[Chad Johnson]

This is a tall task. And the last fighter, the last fighter that he, that he fought that was an actual boxer that was decent was Tommy Fury.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tommy Fury ain't no J.

[Chad Johnson]

Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's what I'm saying, Anthony. That's what I'm world champion. Nice. But also spit he runs out of gas because that's a lot of muscle. I mean, you see how he built. You see when he was standing up on the scale at 243.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Like he carved out of granite. It takes oxygen to fuel muscle.

[Chad Johnson]

Yes. Damn. I'm excited for him, man. I'm excited. Everybody got to punch a chance.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, for sure.

[Chad Johnson]

Everybody got a punch chance.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But I mean, considering that he's substantially taller. Taller. He don't really have to. I can just stand on the outside of jab. Jab. And then try to land that. Right. Because that's where, that's where Joshua Power is, is right. He got power in there. He can, he can. Hey, you saw what he did to Cliff.

[Chad Johnson]

That power at that level. Different.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, man, that, that's. I mean, hell no. And don't, and don't let Anthony Joshua, sit on. Sit on. Sit on that right? Until about. Sit on it. Oh, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. But if you look at Ocho, punching power different between UFC fighters got punches. But a UFC fighter at the same weight as a boxer, it ain't even close. No, because they know how to. They. They know how to throw punches, and they know how to throw punches where you don't see them, see him.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And they can counter everything. They know when you throw, they throw like they know what you're gonna try to throw back. Pop, they check, hook, everything.

[Chad Johnson]

They know exactly what's coming.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Know exactly what's coming. I'm anxious to see, you know, hey, everybody thinking, well, if it's a. If it's a real fight. Well, look, I don't know. Real fight, whatever the fight is, they're gonna make some money, and we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens. But I don't think. And. And. And this is not a knock on Jake Paul until it's a fight that's sanctioned by the wbc, the ibf, Ring magazine or something.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

People are not gonna believe it's on the up and up.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, you're right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I mean, I can't. I'm sorry. I can't say you. You good at football if you're not playing in the NFL.

[Chad Johnson]

I like. Makes sense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I commend him. I commend him over the last five years, six years, however long it's been putting the time in. In the gym. And he's gotten better. He's gotten better. No matter what you think about him, he has gotten better at his skill set. But until he fight a meaningful Benavidez or he fight, he not being connected.

[Chad Johnson]

Whoa, don't do that. Don't. Don't do that.

[Ernest Jones IV]

Don't.

[Chad Johnson]

Come on. You trying. Don't get the man killed now.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I'm just saying, I mean, until he fights somebody legitimate, that legitimately bought steel that's in their prime like he is.

[Chad Johnson]

We got one coming tonight. I mean, tomorrow night.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You mean Saturday? Is the fight Saturday? Yeah, it's tomorrow. Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Wait. Yeah, tomorrow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

I should go to the fight, huh? Nah, hell no. Because I got to be ready for nightcap. Never mind.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So that's. That's. That's it, Ocho? I mean, is Joshua. Is Joshua retired? I mean, do we call him a retired fighter, or is he still active? When's the last time Anthony. Joshua fault. Oh, he got knocked out, didn't he? Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

Yep.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Daniel Dubois.

[Chad Johnson]

Who was he fighting? He got not. Yeah. Dubai. Yep. Sure did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I guess. What. What's the guy name? The Bron the Bronze Bomber. Dante Deontay Wilder want to fight Jake Paul, right? Yeah.

[Chad Johnson]

No, I thought. Deontay. I thought somebody just called out Deontay Walter. Oh, Usyk Alexander Usyk just called out Deontay Wilder.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, he ain't been the same since he lost to Fury.

[Chad Johnson]

Tyson Fury? Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

He accused the fighter being scripted, and so I guess Jake Paul was talking about he's sending a cease and desist, and then he's gonna sue him for defamation.

[Chad Johnson]

Sue who?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Deontay Wilder. Oh. Because Deontay Wilder allegedly said it's scripted.

[Chad Johnson]

Damn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And then Ty, I saw Tyson Fury said something that he want to fight Anthony Joshua. Said he gonna beat him. Say, you don't get no points for fighting a YouTuber. So, look, everybody trying to. Everybody try to get in that payday.

[Chad Johnson]

Wait, listen, I'm not worried about no payday. I'm still. I just. I just want. I just want to fight because I'm trying to figure out. Hey, Chat. Do me a favor. Chat. Y' all ask Andre Ward why he keep ducking me. I've been asking for. I've been asking for this smoke for. For a minute now. I saw him in person in Vegas. Huh? And Vegas. I told him to his face, man, let's do this, man. Let's line it up. Let's lace it up. Let's line it up. What you want to do? Oakland, you know, Bay Area versus Dade County. I mean, how you. How you want. How you want to play it? And here we go again. This been two, three years now. I've been. I've been asking for this fight. It's like he. He ducking me. You got the accolades. You got the resume. Hall of Famer. Well, you got to show me. You got to show me with the. With these, huh? We'll be talking about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, but I think Ocho, honestly, I think until Jake Paul actually fights somebody his age, I don't care who it is. I don't care if it's got to be, you know, a light heavyweight, somebody in that. That. That category. Maybe even. Maybe even, right. I don't know if they still have a cruiserweight division.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Heavyweight. I don't think people gonna take him serious.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. All right. Hey, speaking of fights, too, now you see, now you got my. You got. You got Medusas. You got Medusas flowing now. Speaking of fights, one of the greatest fights that's gonna happen. That's gonna happen. I think I'm. If not mistaken, I think it's January 31st. I could be wrong on the date chat. Correct me if I'm wrong. God damn. Shakur Stevenson and Tfomo Lopez. Oh, my God. Boy, now that's gonna be nice. You talk about talking about a chess match of skill and speed and, oh, my boy. I can't wait. Chad, is. Is the fight tio and Shakur, January 31, or am I wrong?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't start me. All right.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay, Ocho, we're gonna get out here on this. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for q and A.

[Chad Johnson]

Now you got me excited. Talking boxing. Now it's time to go. Okay, we on tomorrow. I'm gonna save it for tomorrow. Anyway.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Anisera Beauty. I don't know ish about football, but Unc finally done a mofo with that beard. Lord have mercy. You should have let that thing grow. You. You should have been. Let that thing grow out.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, who. Who that is? Who that is? That's Cookie.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bad. Stop.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, my bad.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh? No comment. Humble legend. I'm still crying about that Haitian rapid that holes around. I'm sorry. Okay.

[Chad Johnson]

Anyway, that was funny, bro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bad. Even Joe, man. Joe was crying, man. Joe need to stop.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, that was funny. That was funny.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Baltos, fj, Uncle Ocho, y'. All, Y' all know the fight is scripted. Come on, now. Especially if buddy wins. Y' all know who I'm talking about, bro, I don't know nothing. It's too easy. It's too easy for the defamation lawsuits. And I ain't paying no more, so I don't know. I don't know.

[Chad Johnson]

And funny. Hey, we've watched enough boxing chat. We watched enough boxing. Obviously, when you see two prize fighters get into a ring, you can tell when it's scripted and when it's not. You can tell when one fighter is laying off. He's not pressing. We've watched Anthony Joshua fight many of times. We understand how he approaches his fights when he's in the ring. So you'll be able to tell if it's scripted or not, whether he steps on the gas, whether he purposely doesn't throw. You'll be able to tell.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, he. He sits on everything. He always trying to get you out of there.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, Trick, quick.

[Shannon Sharpe]

True infamous Woo. Seahawks, baby. First in the nfc. We flying high, y'. All. First in the nfc, bro. What's their schedule? What are they. What do they got the rest of the way? I think they got the 49ers.

[Commercial Voice]

And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I think they got 49ers in the Bears. I think they got the Bears, not Panthers and Niners. Okay. And where. Where are they playing? The Panthers. Okay. Justin, Antonio, one. I just got done watching the show from last night, and I'm in my tripping. What in the world did you have in that laportier, man? Man.

[Chad Johnson]

Hey, boy. That was funny, boy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Oh. Oh. Had 12 total tackles tonight, five interceptions. He said he gonna get five interception this year. Here he is earning. Almost had six. Ernest Jones, the fourth. Ernest, how you doing, man? Hey, man, congratulations on the big win. You're down for. You're down 14 points, 30 to 16. And Ocho and I was talking to the top of the show. I thought that punt return really gave you guys a spark. It sparked because you guys were kind of just going through the motion. They were kind of moving up and down the field. And when that punt return happened, I think it's 65, 70 yards. He got that ball into the end zone. It's just like something clicked in y' all all. What was the turning point and how did you guys get back in this game?

[Ernest Jones IV]

Like you said, she's electric, man. Once he took that return back, we like, okay, we still in this thing. But ultimately, I think defensively, you know, we miscommunicated early on, led to some big plays, so we just had to lock in. And we told us, told ourselves, like, man, these boys think it's sweet right now. Let's just turn it up on us.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm gonna say, you know, being down 16, what is coach telling you guys on the sideline to make sure you keep your composure and don't you don't lose your head most of the time when you're down 16, you know, players be arguing when you met, when you have misassignments, when you blow coverages, you know, you know, you know, you start arguing with your teammates and stuff. How was y' all able to compete, keep your composure, so you were able to make that comeback in this game?

[Ernest Jones IV]

I think, you know, whole time in headset, Mike was telling me, like, e, keep them together. Like, we gonna come back. It's not going our way right now, but something's going to change. And I think for us, we. We just kept believing in that. And honestly, all like, we. We. We speak about the death zone, and the death zone for us is like, everything matters. So we lived in it, and we were in our moments. We just had to come out and get some stops.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, you got stops. Matthew Stafford had himself a night 29 of 49, 457, three touchdowns. They had 124 yards rushing. Normally, when a team has almost 600 yards, Ernest, and. And you have three turnovers, you normally lose that game. What does that say about your team that you were able to turn the ball over three, three. Three times? A guy had almost 500 yards passing. You had almost 600 yards of total offense, and you still found a way to win this game.

[Ernest Jones IV]

I mean, we gonna battle each and every time. Like, don't think it's over just because you up. It's got to be fourth quarter, 00 on that clock for us to give up. And I think that's how we. It just shows the work we put in this offseason to get to this point.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Your season. We talked earlier in this year. You said, man, I want five interceptions. I got to get five. You know, I have been close, but now I'm going to do this. What. What went into. Because Now, I mean, 13 tackles. You played an unbelievable game tonight all over the field. And you almost had the interception. You really wanted that interception because that was going to be. That was going to be the most special interception that you had this year.

[Ernest Jones IV]

100. Oh, I was. Oh, I wanted it bad, man. The way I would have turned up after that is crazy. But we were able to get the win ultimately, and that's all that matters. So we just got to keep battling, man, and keep. Keep being us.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You told the sideline reporter, say, man, they thought this was over. They are. They thought this thing was sweet. They talking real spicy. But now look at them.

[Ernest Jones IV]

Ej.

[Chad Johnson]

They were out there talking crazy.

[Ernest Jones IV]

They get spicy, crazy. And I played over there, A lot.

[Chad Johnson]

Of them, like, a lot of them.

[Ernest Jones IV]

Guys, they never talk. So it was crazy to me. But, yeah, they thought it was. They thought it was sweet. You went up 16 points. You thought it was good. Good in the hood, but we still around, man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You gotta tell me, bro. Y', all. Look, why didn't y' all continue to double Puka, man? You know, you can't let Puka. Cause Puka can. He's one of the few receivers that can play through contact. He's. Can high point the ball. He's tremendous. He's really. He's a running back. Once he gets the ball in his hand, you look at him, the way he's still farming guys, the way he's bouncing off guys. You guys were doing a great job on him. You was doubling me. And then all of a sudden you like, okay, we would. You guys went away from it, man.

[Ernest Jones IV]

I Think it just came to a couple. Their other guys, they had started making plays, 15 started making some really big catches, 19 opened it up with some deep passes. So I think we had to just shift our mindset and, you know, notice that they weren't just force feet and puka the ball unless they had to. So I think that's where we just switched it up on them at.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now you're the number one seed in the nfc. You got car, you go at Carolina, you got at San francisco. You get 10 days off the. The. The road to Super Bowl 60 can lead through San Francisco, can lead through Seattle. What do you guys need to do to make sure you close this thing out the right way? And the road to The Super Bowl 60 leads through Seattle.

[Ernest Jones IV]

I think the biggest thing for our group is don't get relaxed just because you clinch his playoff spot. That's when, that's when teams start going downhill. All year we've been focused on next team, next man up, and right now it's the Panthers with the playoffs clinched, we want the number one seed and we, we gonna go get that man.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ernest, thanks for joining us tonight. Congratulations on a big time win. Ernest Jones, the fourth. He had 13 tackles tonight, six solo. Unbelievable game. They were down 16 points and they come all the way back and you go for it or two. Let me ask you this. When coach lined up, he's like, nah, y' all stay out there. We ain't kicking no pat. Because if we kick this pat, they gonna get the ball. They go down, they score, we gonna win it or lose it right now. What were you thinking with coach say we going for the win?

[Ernest Jones IV]

Honestly. Honestly, I knew we were winning. You gotta be. When you playing this game, man, you gotta be humble. And I think they, they, they, they shot their gun a little early and you let us stick around, so I knew we had a chance.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All right, man. Appreciate it, man. Congratulations. Big time win. Seattle Seahawks win. Take over the road to the Super Bowl. Could possibly lead through Seattle. They got two games, both on the road. They're at Carolina, at San Francisco, which is a division game, which is going to have a great, of great, great importance. That's Ernest Jones, the fourth man. Congratulations on the big time win. Stay healthy and we'll see you down the road. Definitely.

[Ernest Jones IV]

Thank y'. All.

[Chad Johnson]

All right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho slick, underscore abs, underscore butter. Stefanski need to take notes. You see, he didn't take his quarterback that was hot and run no bullish. I'm a Browns fan. Really don't want to see that S.S. no. So. So that's what I'm trying to figure out in a situation like that, Ocho. Hey, the most important. So you tell me who in their right mind, in the most important situation of the game, you want to put the ball in a running back's hand, have him flip it to somebody and have them throw a pass? Not the quarterback that just led you down.

[Chad Johnson]

Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you want to. What would happen? Yeah. What do you. What do you think the people would have thought if they say, you know what? We're going to take Sam Darn a lot. We want Charbonneau or we want Kenneth Walker or we want somebody else to throw this ball. We want Jack. We want JSN to throw the ball. What you think Seattle fans would have said, man?

[Chad Johnson]

Man, the whole stadium would have been boing, huh? The whole stadium would. Because you understand what it is? You understand what it is. I mean, that. That game we talking about, I. I don't really want to get into it no more, but, I mean, you already know.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It was some bull J to G said. Who we got this week, guys? Pass versus Ravens, Chargers versus Cowboys, packers versus Bears.

[Chad Johnson]

Oh, them some good, great games.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What Great.

[Chad Johnson]

Really good game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I got the Chargers versus the Cowboys.

[Chad Johnson]

I got the Cowboys Pats versus the Ravens.

[Shannon Sharpe]

I gotta go with the Ravens, man.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm probably. I'm probably. I'm gonna go a little. Marvelous.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Packers versus the Bears. I'm going Bears.

[Chad Johnson]

I'm going with the Bears. I'm going Bears. I'm going Bears.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Patrick Rendon. Ocho don't want to claim the Patriots the same as Will Smith. Dad didn't want to claim him in the Fresh Prince. How come you don't want. You don't want me, man. Yo, why you don't claim the patch?

[Chad Johnson]

I do. I mean, listen, man, listen. I was there, but I. I wasn't able to contribute the way I would. I would have liked to. Huh. So, you know, I'm sitting here. Ain't no participation trophies, Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But you play there. I mean, I was there. You tried to say. See, you tried to tell me I ain't with no Raven. I mean, I can't wait to get my letterman jacket.

[Chad Johnson]

You getting what? A Ravens one? I'm gonna make me a banger one.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. What you gonna make a letterman jacket for mine. Got Super Bowl 35 in logo on the back.

[Chad Johnson]

I could put Super bowl.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No, you can't.

[Chad Johnson]

35 on mine, too. Nope.

[Shannon Sharpe]

You Ain't playing this bigger, first of all, because they won. No super. They ain't got nothing. Stop it it. Y' all played in 3oo2, 3, 88 and 21. You played in 80. You played in 81 too. You lost, kid. Anderson lost to the 49ers in Detroit. The old silver, though.

[Chad Johnson]

Okay, I know you did.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's why I. That's why I'm here for. To help you.

[Chad Johnson]

Appreciate that history lesson.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nick Mars. Hey, unknown. Show idea make Ocho do all the things he say he can do. Like bench fold five. Man, Ocho can't bench no fold five.

[Chad Johnson]

Who can't? You, man. I be at the gym in the morning and I'mma post it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ocho, you can't even squat 405. I know you can't bench 405.

[Chad Johnson]

Unk. I squat 765. Unknown. When I was playing, I squat like Saquan. I used to work out with the defensive lineman.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh, Kumar? That darn curse will took another team. I wonder who's next on the Perner curse. Wheel. Broncos, Seahawks, Bills, pass. I don't know. What? What? What? What wheel? I'm sorry, bro. I. I'm not sure what you're talking about, Kumar. Day of the Dundee 74. What's up, guys? UNK. Top six tight ends. OO. Top six receivers. Much love to you. And Nightcap. Kelsey gronk, gonzo gates. Me, winslow senior. Top six receivers. I hope he's talking about all time. I hope he's not talking about right now.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah, I mean, all time. I'm Jerry to Randy. Marvin. Oh, God damn it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah, it gets hard after that first three.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah. Marvin Harrison slash Larry Fitzgerald slash Calvin Johnson. I mean, God dog. I mean, there's so many different ways I can go with that. With that. With that four and five, huh? Slash Hooley. I mean, that's difficult. That's. That's very difficult because so many people are worthy of that 4 and 5 spot. Slash Tori Holt. Slash Isaac Bruce. Slash Jimmy Smith. I mean, God damn. And I'm. Everybody I'm naming is. Is. Is. Is them. These ain't just no. Anybody's talking about the great. Some of the. The great greats.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Double B Studio. Josh Allen, mvp. Look at the stats. Josh Allen's had an unbelievable season. Matthew Stafford is the MVP this season, though. Matthew Staff is the mvp. How many yards he's not now he's leading the league. Well, I think Dax don't get. Get some opportunity to pass him on Sunday.

[Chad Johnson]

Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

But Matthew Stafford have what he got two games left now. 12, the 11 and 4. Yeah, I don't know if he. I. I don't know if he can get to. I don't know if he can get to 5,000, but it can be high fours. How many Matthew Staff we got now? Yeah, 457, 4300. Because I think he was number two behind Dak. 4179.

[Chad Johnson]

Wow.

[Shannon Sharpe]

So he's in the lead over that. But that gotta play Sunday. So. Yeah, I think Matthew Staff is gonna win the mvp. Brian BB Gaming. Sam Donna is slinging shaft for sure. And the Rams lost the game right after that punt return. You can feel the momentum change. Yep. I agree. It didn't take you really any time off the clock. Make. Make them drive the field. Cause the more you make them drive the field, the greater the chance you get a deflection, you get another pick, maybe another turnover. Ocho. But that was a quick. And then they got the two point conversion, so. Marco Polo. Dot Corleone. Keep the beard. Get that jalen brownish. Nah, man, I ain't colored it. I just cut it off before I color it. The Sean Underscore show. Big fan. Who's your defensive player of the year and offensive player of the year? DPO White Unanimous in Cleveland?

[Chad Johnson]

Miles Garrett.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Miles Garrett. Player of the year. I think the offensive player of the year might be the same guy, the mvp, because we don't have a running back that's doing anything. You know, Jonathan. We thought Jonathan Taylor was foregone conclusion, Ocho, because like he had like 111200 yards with like seven games to go. And now he's rushed for like 300 yards in the last six games. I can't see them giving that award to a quarterback. Say, okay, Josh Allen is offensive player of the year, but Matthew Stafford is the mvp. So I think whoever wins the MVP will be offensive player of the year.

[Chad Johnson]

Right?

[Shannon Sharpe]

Puka was talking to the refs about the situation between him and the rookie cornerback. I guess they got Puga. They was talking to Puka. Puka's like, I'll put that thing on y'.

[Chad Johnson]

All.

[Shannon Sharpe]

OG underscore Thanos, is this the best Thursday night game y' all have ever seen? It's up there. It's up there.

[Chad Johnson]

And.

[Shannon Sharpe]

And these are two really good defenses that. I mean, Seattle is really good and they almost got 600 yards of total defense our offense put on them at home.

[Chad Johnson]

It's crazy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

King's Journey. You were in real form last night. You had me crying, laughing. Oo. You owe me 5,900 for that Shaheed pick. Yeah, you do. Out of one, all I had to do is take Shahee Hun. And out of $131. Every little bit. Help.
