[Keyshawn Johnson]

Wide. That's the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Problem. He thought you trying to.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Squeeze. I couldn't squeeze. Hold on. The man at the gate. The man at the gate say, at the shoe, you ready for me to open? I said, no, I can't squeeze my legs. I looked up at Ty. I say, ty, what do I do? He too fat. He say, use your.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Spurs. I said, nigga, what? So, hey, I'm gonna make it mad. Cause you kick the spurs, and all you do is make it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tight.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

What? When that. That gate opened, I ain't never felt that kind of power before.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Never. You have to, like. You have to like Chad. You have to see one of these things up close and.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Personal. Oh, my.

[Shannon Sharpe]

God. TV don't do him justice at all. Cause you're looking at 17, 18, maybe 1900 pounds of all muscle. So look at the most athletic guy. You take Ronnie Coleman at his best with 300.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Pounds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. So times six, a Ronnie Coleman. Muscles everywhere. Oh, Lord.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Help. Hey, you. You know what? You know what they feel like up close? I'm sure everybody in here maybe had a pit bull or they petted. You petted a pit bull. And you know how solid they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Are.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yes. Full of muscle. No, that's. That's what it's like. And it's so intimidating, especially when you don't come from that background. If you didn't grow up around.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Them.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yes. I'm out of Liberty City Hunt. I ain't never seen no cows. I just had the opportunity to go out there and.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ride.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yes. They told me, well, you want to come, right? I say, yeah, it's NF out. I can do whatever I want to do right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yep. Ty Murray never, never, never showed me the bulls. We went straight to the mechanical bull for three days straight. I say, ty, this seem easy. It ain't that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hard. Mechanical bull ain't even easy. But the thing is, you can squeeze a mechanical bull. We was in Barcelona and we rode a mechanical bull. Man, that thing bucked my ass off in like three seconds. Like two seconds. Okay, one second. Hey, Ocho. Cause, you know, it started out real slow, and then all of a.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Sudden. Yeah, get the going. Oh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man. Listen, I said, oh, let me go and get up off here, because that's all I need to broke my back. But you have like to see them animals up close and personal and how.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Powerful. Oh, man, how powerful, how fast. And, you know, sum up some. And you could tell which ones are athletic and which ones aren't. Like, there's a huge difference if you know what you're looking.

[Shannon Sharpe]

At. Yeah, it's unbelievable because you. Obviously, the smaller bulls are going to be a little bit more athletic because. Because they're smaller. But when you get somebody like a bushwhacker, you get a boaty or you get a Dillinger. You talking about something 16, 1700 pounds. I don't want to move with that kind of.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Force. I don't want no part of.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That. Because you. Because the thing is, you've kind of studied the bulls, and you kind of know sometimes they come out and. And they spin. They go right and they spin. Sometimes they go left, sometimes they jump straight up in the air. But what Bodie would do, Bodie would leave the. Leave the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Ground.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. He would.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Dive.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Uhhuh. And then when your momentum shift.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Because you over here, he come back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Up, he throws his head back into your.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Face. Yeah, you coming off. Coming off right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Away. So imagine that counter force. You talking about 1800 pounds with that kind of force, diving, throwing his head back. You out. You're.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Bull. I tell you what, how about this? How about we stay out there until I get eight.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Seconds? I already think you got one second on that.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Bull. No, I got. I got 1.8. 1.8. That's pretty good because, hey, some. Some of the pros come out and they last. 1.8.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Exact. But Ocho, people don't realize how big, how massive they are. To see one up close, it's kind of like going to the zoo because you think like, you see a line on tv. Yeah. And then you see that when I went to the. I went to s. Free and Roy.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Show.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Uhhuh. Oh, you 1.5.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Oo. Okay, that. That's good, huh? That's good. That's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Good. Hell yeah, that's good. You. Don't you realize how long eight seconds.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

[Shannon Sharpe]

Boots. I went to seek friend.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Roy.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Uhhuh. And I didn't realize, you know, it. I had. It had been. I was in man high school. We went to the Jacksonville Zoo, but I had never seen one that close. You know, you see them 30 yard, you know, 30ft, 40ft.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Away. Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. But in the six free and Roy to start the show, they walk the lions and tigers down the aisle. Now, obviously, you know, hey, they taking care of your boy. I got my mom, my.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Sister. Right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. My brother and his wife. So o. I'm sitting. I'm sitting just like this here. I can literally stick My hand out like this here and touch the lion and the tiger's head. Now you think a lion is big? You ought to see a.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Tiger. Tiger. Yeah, they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bigger. A tiger outweighs a lion by 2, 300.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Pounds.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. But to see how man that lion head was this big. I said oh my God. I saw, I told my sister because my sister was sitting next to me. My mom was inside and my brother and sister was in my, my sister and my, my brother and my sister in law was there for the inside. So I said maybe you want to reach over touch. He said absolutely not. And then like I think it was maybe like maybe like a couple of months later. That's when Monte Cor grab Roy.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Roy. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And obviously you can't do it but what they do to get it even bigger, they'll breed a tiger and a lion to get a.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Liger. The liger. Yeah. I see. I seen some down here at Metro.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Zoo. Oh Lord have.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Mercy. They.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huge. Now that's.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Enormous.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I mean I, I and I, I love seeing things like that in their natural habitat. Obviously you wouldn't get a lion because they're in two different.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Continents.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. You're never going to get that. But to see that's what I got to go, I got to go to the Serengeti. I got to go to the mess. I, I got to, I got to go to, to see them in the natural.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Habitat. You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Got. I want to see a Cape buffalo. I want to see, I want to see a, a, a leopard. I, I, I just got to see it. Yeah, you, you.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Go. You're gonna like that. And on, on speaking of the Serengeti, I was able to go to Kenya. This is actually when I was playing in the off season. I was doing some stuff with feed the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Children.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

You. Yeah, yeah. So I went to Kenya one time and I had a chance to obviously feed the children and go to some of the slums and, and, and feed some of the kids. But outside of that, when we had off time I was able to go to the, I'm not sure if it's called the grasslands or the Serengeti. And I spent time with the Maasai.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Warriors.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. Out there in the grasslands and obviously saw the huts and everything was made, made out of mud. Yeah, it was amazing. And some, and you know they greet you by jumping, you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Know.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. Vertical. And so that one trip I'm out there with some damn shorts and some Tim's on jumping as a GRE them and it, that was one of the greatest experiences of all time. Being able to see, you know, some of the lions, the Cape buffaloes, Rhinoceros in person.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh? The big five. Yeah, that's what they call lions. Lions, rhinos. The Cape.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Buffalo.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. Rhinoceros. And I think the leopard. I think that's the big fives. Yeah, you can look that up, Ash, I think. But I think that's the big five. That's what people. And I couldn't, because I. I know people that have actually gone and hunt and. And taking down a lion or taking down a Cape buffalo, a kudzu. Elon, if I, you know, if I'm out, you know, Elon or something like that, that I can eat the meat, but to kill a lion or the elephant or something like that, I ain't gonna eat. Nah, I don't want no trophy, you.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Know. You know the Maasai wars, they don't. They don't have guns. They don't. They.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don'T. But they. Oh, they spear. They got spears and.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Arrows. They spear the arrows when they try to take the cattle. They try to kill the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Goats.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. And what, one of the young. One of the young Maasai warriors. Whoever kills, kills a lion. They wear the man over their.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Head. That's how you become a man. That's the tr. That's the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Trans. Have you heard about.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That? Yeah, no, but.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was dope. That was dope hearing those.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Stories. Yes. That's what. The big five.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. I was right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. No, I'm saying the big.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Elephant. Okay. Oh, the elephant. Okay, okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay.

This is Sophie Cunningham from Show Me Something. Do you know the symptoms of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea or OSA in adults with obesity? They may be happening to you without you knowing. If anyone has ever said you snored loudly or if you spend your days fighting off excessive tiredness, irritability and concentration issues. It may be due to osa. OSA is a serious condition where your airway partially or completely collapses during sleep, which may cause breathing interruptions and oxygen deprivation.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Company. Oh, Joe. According to Pro football Talk, Brian Flores is expected to draw head coaching interest. A survey of various high level executive executive throughout the league has pointed to one obvious conclusion. He's most likely to be a candidate. No Ish Erlock. But anyway, because of the effectiveness of his scheme generally speaking, his peers and various general managers recognize that he's doing a phenomenal job helping Flores and becoming to cycle the fact that as one source put it, there are many names but very few stand out. At least one GM regards Flores as the best defensive coordinator in the entire league with a variety of pressures that make it very difficult for, for offenses to prepare for. And every week some believe the schemes alone will give him serious consideration. Interested teams will undoubtedly dig deep into time with Miami, which didn't go well. How much of that is on him? No tour was on him. He didn't want to. Whether you say he wanted Herbert, whether he wanted Justin Love, let's just stand on this. I think everybody can agree he didn't want to. So who he wanted outside of that, that was an arranged marriage that he couldn't get out.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Of. Yeah, yeah. And I like, I like the idea that he's, that he's up for the coaching.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Job. Jordan Love. Jordan.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Love. Yeah. I'm glad that he's up for the coaching job. Zonks. But also, also where he goes is very.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Important. Yes, very.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Important. You think about his exotic schemes and some of the things that, that are very complex that he's able to do. That makes it very confusing for offenses to be able to have success against the Minnesota Vikings defense. But what he has to have where he goes, you have to have the personnel to be able to pull that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Off. You got to get green, you got to have a Dallas Turner. You got to have certain guys that can make bingo.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Absolutely. You got to have your Isaiah Rogers and all the other supporting cast members, you know, Harrison and them young.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Fellas. You got to have Murphy Jr.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Bingo. So that's going to be very important. And he has to take into account where I'd go and where I choose to be the head coach and bring those philosophies and those ideologies that are having us having success in Minnesota. I, I got to have the players to be able to pull that off. Because if you don't, it ain't gonna be the same. It ain't gonna work. And you know how, you know how short that leash is? You know how short that leash is for a head.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Coach.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. All right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. But look I. I think he'll get some consideration. I think Vance Joseph will get some consideration. Look, there are jobs available and, and look there. First of all, there are people, there are coaches on the interim right now. Tennessee is on interim. Who else is on interim? Coach? Didn't somebody else get Giants? The Giants was on the interim. The Titans is on the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Interim. Yeah, I mean, see.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That'S. Look, I got one piece. I got Jeffrey.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Simmons.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

No. Oh, Jeff. Jeffrey coming to.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Us. Jeffrey.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Simmons. He ain't gonna be.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There. I got Jeffrey.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Simmons. I just told you he's not gonna be.

[Shannon Sharpe]

There. What about the. The Raven? The Raven. The Ravens got to get some pieces. Matabique has been injured all year. He's their best defender. I'm trying to think. The Giants. Look, the Giants. Oh, you got Lawrence, Brian Burns. You're probably gonna lose Thibodeau. You got Abdul.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Carter. Now we talking now. Now we need one piece on the back end, though. Give me something nice on the back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

End. Well, you're gonna have a high draft pick. I don't know. I don't know. People normally don't take safeties that high because you look at Ed Reed, you look at Palomalu, you look at some of the better safeties and look at where they've gone in the draft. They don't normally take safeties with the top.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

10. They got a good one that's worthy of a top 10 pick down in Ohio State now. And brother, I'm.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Saying, as great as he was, he wasn't as good as. As Ed Reed coming.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Out. Oh, no. Hey. But it's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hard. The only thing that I can remember going that high. Well, you know who, who the guy went to Washington, end up passing John.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Taylor. Rest in.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Peace. Sean.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Taylor.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I don't know if he. That now. No, I mean, I mean, Caleb Downs is.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Unbelievable.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Good. But boy, hey, Sean Taylor, you talking about a guy that's 6 foot 3, 225 pounds, could run 4 4, 3, 4 4, had range and would knock your block.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Off. Yeah, yeah. He was different. He was different. He was different. But Caleb Downs is the best we have right.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now. He absolutely is the best coming out. And he will be, I do believe. Well, ain't no question he'll be a top. He'll be a first round pick. The question is, how is he top.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

10? Absolutely. Absolutely. Especially for. Especially for teams that need it, especially defensively. Hello, Cincinnati. Hello, Giants. Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now. Yeah, the thing is, but normally when you get safeties that big, they're stiff. Sean Taylor. Wasn't sm. Wasn't stiff at.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

All. No, no, no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. To be that big, he can move. He can move. Now you look at Jamal Adams. Jamal Adams was a little stiff in the hips, and that's why he. It was easy for him to make the transition to go to linebacker. Bob Sanders was on the small side. He just broke down. No, Joe, you can't hit that, bro. He'll Volkswagen run into a brick wall every.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Day. Hey, and he gonna run into.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It every time, every.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Day. And most of the time he's winning. Oh, bullet ball.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Boy. I definitely think Brian Flores, I think Vance Joseph. I think there gonna be a few guys that'll get that. That's going to get some opportunity to be. To be a head coach this year. Ocho. In year 2025, Snoop Dogg has a bowl game named after him. The Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl. Presented by gin and juice, by Dre and Snoop. Hosting Miami versus Fresno. With 754 left in the second quarter, the game deadlocked the 3 3. Lynch kicked the ball off to a touchback following a successful 28 yard field goal. Here's the catch. The Ocho Snoop Dogg. Hello. Cook dive. And he caught the ball. So they kicked it off. Snoop Dogg caught the ball in the end.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Zone.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh? Snoop Dogg is the only guy that got more jobs than you, Ocho.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

You know, Hey, I got to catch him, huh? Hey, I listen, I gotta catch in 2026. Like chat, y' all know how many jobs I got? You know, how much, how much, how much I put in into working and having multiple jobs. I gotta catch Shaq and I got. I gotta catch snoop in 2026. But if for any companies out there, any sponsored endorsements, I need more jobs. Right Now I have 506 62. In 2026, I need to be at least 615 jobs. I'm willing to do anything. Holla at your.

[Coca-Cola Announcer]

Boy. What a matchup we got.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Y'.

[Coca-Cola Announcer]

All. This is that classic HBCU vibe. Nonstop 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.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

There.

[Coca-Cola Announcer]

Mmm. 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 an 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 hbcu pride going did you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Company. Ojo. The University of Michigan has a new head coach. Kyle Willingham was hired as Michigan next head football Coach, signing a five year contract. Willingham's deal. Michigan averages 8.2 million a year. The deal is 75 guaranteed in Willingham. Winningham is expected to make $8 million in salary in 2026. He, he, they got him out of retirement or was he still the head coach of Utah?

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You like, you like this.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

How? I mean, I mean, I mean, yes, I like it obviously.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Huh? I think it's.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Safe. Yeah, it's, it's a safe hire. It's a safe hire. We're gonna see what happens. I'm not sure what, what type of coach he is. I don't know much about his history as far as coaching history obviously coming from Utah. But I'm, I'm assuming not only is it a safe hire, it's someone that they feel that can get this program going in the right direction. So I mean it is what it is. It was unfortunate what happened with Mr. Mr. Shamar. Did I say it right? Yeah, Sharon, Yeah, but it's, it's ah, that's, that's a tough deal.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That's. It is. I think it's safe. I think he's a proven guy. You know, this comes with very lofty expectations. Look, Indiana has gotten exponentially better. We know Ohio State is Ohio State. They're going to get seven, they're going to get five to seven, five stars. They're going to get another three to four, four stars. So they're gonna always be stacked. The question is how soon can he get Michigan competing with Ohio State? Yes, look, they beaten Ohio State, what, three of the last four years. But, and, and they played for the Nationals. There was a title. They, they lost the national championship. What? They won Jim Harbaugh's last year and I think they got put out the year before. But with that being said, we'll see. How soon can he get them up to what the boosters and the alumni and the president, the expectation of Michigan because at the end of the day that is.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Michigan. Yeah, but the whole point about it, the boosters and getting them getting, having those lofty expectations, but again, you got to have that money, that money talks, huh? So if you want to compete with Ohio states and the other teams that are, that are in the playoffs, you know, for, for that matter, you got to be able to get the players to be able to compete, huh? The, the landscape of college football has changed now. You got to pay to Play to win. And the boosters understand that. Coach Willingham understands that. And I hope the. The University of Michigan understands that. If you want to get back to where you once were, you got to go and get the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Play. Well, they got the third richest guy in the world, Larry Ellison. His wife went to Michigan. Dave Portnoy, who owns Barstool, and yes, Tom Brady. So they have guys that can contribute to the fund. That's how they were able to get Underwood, the quarterback that had verbally committed to LSU, and they got him to flip, you know, four years, $12 million, maybe a little more. And tutelage by Tom Brady and this and that. So they have the capital to get whatever they want, whomever they.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Want.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. And so that's what, that's what we are now. I heard the, the new head coach at Ole Miss, who's the defensive coordinator, Goulding, he was talking about. Hey. He said, used to be the enticement was, we can get you to the NFL. Ocho guys come with a Ferrari. He said, we got guys living in the same country club as me. So what's the enticement now? Yeah, what's the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Day? Well, you know what the enticement is? Still wanting to make it to the NFL, because, listen, this is just a small chunk of change you're getting. The real money is when you. When you cross. When you cross and get your name.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Called. But this thing about Ocho, you didn't get no money, so you didn't have anything but that to hang your hat on, right? It might have been different. Ocho, you got three, four million dollars at your disposal. You driving around a Ferrari instead of a.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Bucket. Listen, I'm with you when you write, but one thing about it. Think about when I got paid in the NFL. Did I shut it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Down? No, no, but think about you in the NFL. You in college and you got a Ferrari. Yeah, you. You in college and you got a Lambo. See you wearing chrome heart in college. You got Louis, and you got Goyard in.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

College. Yeah, it's a.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Whole. You flying first class.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Ocho. But. But also, also, you know what? It comes down to your mindset. It also come down to what you. What do you value? Now, you. You already know how I am. Those things are cool to have, but it's not my identity, and I don't value.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Right. The fact that I can get it is cool, but I want to be the best at what I do. So if I, if I do and am able to have it when I'm in College, where I was okay, I was straight, because I got a little. I got a little. I want to get nobody in trouble. But anyway, you know, I. I was taken care of, you know, in a sense, but I still wanted to make it. I still wanted to make it. I wanted to be one of the best, whether I got it early or whether I got it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Later. Well, I can. I can. I can't prove I'm the best until I get to the NFL. But in the meantime, I'm gonna live high on the hall. I'm a little.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Great. Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now. I'm living the country club. I'm gonna have a Ferrari. Granny ain't gonna be living in that shack no more. We eating. We eating Kobe. We eating.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Wagyu. Kobe. Oh, hey, hey. I tried some of that wagyu.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now. I tried some of that butt, ain't.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

It? Yeah. Hey, it's so soft and tender. Hold on. When they bought it to me, I was at prime 112. I thought. I think I told the story. You know, I ain't nobody. Nobody. I say, you know what? Miles. Miles is the owner at Prime 112. I say, yeah, talk to Unc. And he told me, when I come here, I don't. I don't visit often, but I want to try the wagyu. They bought me a big plate. They had the wagyu. They had it chopped up in nice. Nice slices.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Too. Nice, thin.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Slices. Yeah, it was. Hey, it was so tender and.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Soft. Hey, like.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Butter. Yeah. But, hey, listen, I saw the price at the end of the night, Uncle. I ain't been back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Since. Yeah, it's.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Expensive. I ain't been back.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Since. Yeah, but it.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Was. It was a nice.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Experience. Somewhere between 75 and 100 an ounce, depending on where you get it. Where you get it.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

From.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. What. You know, what restaurant, what location. You're in Miami, you're in Atlanta, you're in California. X, Y, and Z. So all that goes into the. The factor. Oh, Joe. J.J. redick may have taken a shot at LeBron saying the Lakers. Excuse me. Have been or have been unorganized since his return. Since we've gotten Brian back, we haven't been organized offensively. Too many random possessions. That's on me, is those three things. Defensively, defensive clarity, role clarity, and offensive organization. We don't need no defensive clarity. You don't have anybody that can play defense other than Marcus, Mark, J.J. excuse me. Luca can't play defense. Austin Reeves can't play defense. LeBron is at the age he can't play defense. Rui is not a defensive guy. Da. Deandre Ayton is not a defensive guy. You got guys that aren't defensive guys. That's not your identity. Yeah, so who. You said defensive clarity. You don't need no clarity. I got. It's crystal clear for me. You can't play.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Defense.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You got three offensive guys and you try to outscore. They're getting layups. Look, come on, man.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Stop. Yeah. Hey, listen.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Listen.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. I mean, you, you, you're better suited to be able to talk about that in general. But I do understand, based off what I've seen and, and what I've learned about the game now, that I've had to pay attention to it because we talk about it more. I understand. I understand it now. And I see that they're off of the team. And I know one thing. If they do start playing defense, if Luca and Rui and. And goddamn LeBron start playing defense and putting in that effort on the defensive end, something has to give and it's gonna give. With your offensive production, your offensive output ain't gonna be the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Same. And you had Ru, you had ruin trying to guard Kevin Durant, okay? That's gonna zap all of his energy because guess what? He gave you an offense. Nothing. Yeah, he tries. I mean, he's a try hard guy, but that's not what he is. That's not really. And he's turned himself into a really. A knockdown guy. Spot up because other guys getting doubled. But you got to understand what you have. You don't have a defensive team. And defensively is really. Mindset. Luca has never played defense. You're never going to get him to play the defense to the level that's really acceptable. You just look at. Because at the end of the night, he's going to have 40, 15, and 12. And so you overlook that his guy had 28 or you overlooked the fact that his guy had 30 because he's outscored him and did so many other things. But Luca's not gonna play defense. Austin Reeves can't play. It's not gonna play deep. He can't. He just can't. They could play defense to a certain extent, but to the level that you are a championship contending team, it ain't.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Happening. Yeah. Hey, listen, they not gonna play defense like they got Damn the Bad Boy Pistons or, or.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okc. No, no, but look what OKC got. Look at them guys. Them guys under the age of.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

25. Yeah, yeah. That's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

What. That's what I mean, and they have role guys. They understand their role, right? He did say that. You know, a role, Clarity. Okay, so tell me what you want. Okay. Luke is going to handle the ball most of the time. Luca cannot play after the ball, so he has to have the ball in his hand the majority of the time. Clear? Got it. Austin Reeves, he's going to have the ball the second most. LeBron James is really the best, equipped to really play off the ball. He's now your third option. Okay, so when they're. When one of those guys. When two of those guys are off the court, then what's the role, Clarity? Do what you got. Guys that can't do a whole.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Lot.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Hey, so I'm just trying to figure out what. What to do to do.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

What? Yeah, hey, listen, they. They got to be on. In order for the Lakers to win, in order for them to have success because of their lack of defense or lack of players that can actually play defense, they got to be on offensively every goddamn night. They got to be on every night. They got to be.

[Shannon Sharpe]

On. Hey, look, I. I think J.J. is phenomenal. I know he understands basketball. He can talk about it, but at the end of the day, like, he was criticizing Doc at some point in time, stop telling us what you need to do and get it.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Done. Well, it's hard to get it done if you don't have the pieces to get it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Done. No, no, no, no, no, no. He went there and sold Genie Bus and all them a deal. He could get it done. So don't tell me you can't get it done now, now that you're in there because you know the roster. You knew the players that they had before you got your ass.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

There. Yeah, you're right. You're.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Right. You are, Ocho. I've already given you the agreeance. Don't tell me you can make a seven course meal when I'm only giving you popcorn, corn flakes, cheese, and chitlins. You ain't making no seven course meal with that. You saw the damn ingredients when you brought your ass in here talking about you wanted to be the head chef. You know what I got. Hey, get it done. I don't do all this excuse making and all this. This. Bro, we. We 30 games in and you still talking about role clarity and defensive clarity and this and that. Nah, hell no. I ain't trying to hear that, Ocho. Russell. What's. Russell Westbrook has passed Laker legend Magic Johnson for seventh overall all time in NBA. Assistance is number one. Ain't nobody catching that. Chris Paul is number two, Jason Kidd is number three, LeBron James is number four, Steve Nash five, Mark Jackson six. And Russ now is seventh passing the alleged the Laker legend in the historically great many regarded as the greatest point guard in NBA history. Russell has surpassed him 10,142.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Assists. Hey, as much as people talk trash about Russell, Russell Westbrook, he will still go down as one of the the greatest point guards of all time, you know. Yes, he would go down as one of the greatest point guards of.

[Shannon Sharpe]

All time and rightfully.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

So. I think one of the things that hurt him a little bit is the loss of it. The loss of athleticism a little.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Bit.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yes. Listen, still aggressive, still give you everything he got every night on both ends of the floor. But outside of that, you know, it just, he doesn't shoot the ball really well. No, he doesn't shoot the ball really well and I think him not being able to evolve his game, his mid range or three game, it kind of, it kind of hurts him a little bit. But again the fact that he going to give you everything he got.

[Shannon Sharpe]

That'S what you got to love about.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

It. That Energizer Bunny on both ends of the court every night is one of the reasons why he will always, always be in conversation as one of the better players that ever played the point guard.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Position. Yeah, it's hard Ocho as you start if you're a really athletic player and you don't work on other aspects of your game when you lose athleticism. See, Jokic is going to be able to play for a long time because he don't really rely on athleticism. Jokic is not trying to outrun anybody. He's not trying to out jump anybody. So he's got some years he's gonna play. Hey, and I said this when I and I said look, when it's all said and done, they're gonna be some rearranging at the top of the charts. Yeah, he's not done. He's gonna win some more MVPs now he gets a couple of more championships. We're gonna have to have some discussions. I, I, look, I, I understand that we love, we this old guard, we hate letting go of the old but what he's doing is just, I mean he just had a 50. He just now he just had a, a 34002012 assist night after 56, 15 and 15. At some point in time we got to give this man.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Credit. So he gonna be in your top five. Before I said it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Before. I don't know. Top five. But he. He damn sure getting that top ten with a couple of more.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Championships. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. Because he's gonna have MVPs. He's gonna have. He's gonna get another one, maybe two. You're watching.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

It.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. You.

[Announcer]

What?

[Shannon Sharpe]

You. You're watching. You're watching greatness. We've never. Nobody's been able to have this kind of package. Not an offensive package now, is he. Can he play defense? Nah, he. He leaves a lot to be desired, but we've never seen nobody that could score the ball like he can rebound the ball and facilitate an offense like him. We've never seen anything like that. Ocho, time for my prize picks. Player.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Fade. Music. Bathroom real.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Quick. Go ahead. Trey McBride, 77.5. So he means to have 77 receiving yards against Cincinnati. They're at Cincinnati, too. They gotta feed him in Detroit. Any chance. Any. Any chance for them to win, they're gonna have to feed McBride. So I'm gonna say. You know what? I'm gonna say more. I'm gonna say more. Trevor Lawrence, more than 249 yards passing against Indy. Well, he had that against the Broncos, and I think our defense is better than the Broncos, so. Yep, more. Sam Darnold, 1.5 TDs against.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Carolina. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Yeah, for sure. Ocho Hair, the good one. Tyler shook, more than 223 pass yards against.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Tennessee. Well, hey, I'm gonna say yes, because when I talked about Tyler Shook not being the answer for the. For the. For the Saints in the future, the entire fan base said, yes, he is. So obviously I'm expecting him to look like a starting quarterback, to look like the franchise quarterback and throw him for 220 yards. Should be a yes. So I'm going with goddamn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yes. Okay, well, we going more with Tyler Shook. That said, Trey McBride, 77 yards against your Bengals. Trevor Lawrence, more than 249 yards against Indy. Sam Darnold will have at least two touchdown passes against Carolina. Jackson Smith and Jig will get that by himself. And Tyler shook to have two. At least 223 pass yards against the Tennessee Titans. $25 to win, $150. Download the app today. Use code Shannon to get $50 in lineups. When you play your first $5 lineup prize picks. It's good to be right. All right, Ocho, we're gonna get you out on this one. It's time for our final segment of the evening. It's time for Q. Hb. Og Did y' all already Suppose schedule the NFL release for Christmas next year. No, I didn't see that. Christmas is on Friday next year. I mean, what is he asking? Did they release a Christmas schedule for next year? Yes. Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday night. Yes. Oh, oh, oh, you're excited about that Christmas on Friday 2026. I can imagine. The NFL will have a Thursday night game, a Friday night game, a Saturday night game, a Sunday night game and a Monday night game. You're absolutely correct. Yes. Five straight days of NFL football. Can't wait. Kemper Norwood Jr say. Oh, my question is, is there a New Year's Eve club Shay Shay episode this year? New Year's Eve. That's Wednesday, right? Yeah. Huh? Yes. Yeah, we'll have one. Hold on. I can't get them too many wizards off. They'd be expecting to be taking Wednesday off all the time. Kemp or.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Damn. Hold on. So. Hold on, hold on. So the night the ball dropped, we, we gonna.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Nightcap?

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yep. Okay. Okay. Okay.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Okay. You know, hey, you know with that ball to drop because you know, 20.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

26. Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna be in. I'm gonna be in the Bahamas, you know. You know I, you know I love to go to see Junko New Year. So I'm, I'm be ready. I'm gonna be ready. I'm be.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ready. LBL OG for the packers fans, does the offense look better with Malik or.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Jordan? Don't do that.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Don't. Come on.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Now. Don't, don't do that. Listen, Malik looked good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Tonight. He.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Did. The future of the packers is enjoying Love. Let's, let's not do that. You know, he had a good game tonight against the Ravens. They lost the game, but let's. Jordan Love is the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. Don't, don't, don't do that. Every time you see someone have a good game. Come on.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Now. El Pray 98. The spirit industry can be tough to navigate at times. How has Shayballa Portier helped shape your business? Ackman. And what has it taught you about patience in your overall approach to life? It is very diff. It is very difficult because it's a three tier system. You the distributor and the, you know, your ABC packaging. The. What's the big one that we go to? No, what. We just went to Total Wines. So because it's. So because it's. Look and it varies state to state. Different, different states have different laws, different distributors. It's really tough in the spirits industry is going kind of a little bit of correction right now. But yes, it's tough and it teaches you patience because, you know, we have a product that's from overseas, Cognac. In order for it to be called a cognac, it has to originate the first two years in that region and you know, to get it. And we haven't been impacted too much by it, but it's, it's, it's a spirits is really, really tough. Really, really tough. I've learned a lot about the spirits industry when once I found out I was going to embark on this journey, you start reading about as much as you possibly can about the, and how the product is made and the different, you know, regular cognac and VSOPs and things of that nature. Four to six years, eight to 10, so forth and so on. Patience. Something that I'm not very good at. So you surround yourself with people that kind of know a little bit more about the business than you do, and you do what you do and allow them to do what they do. Me, what I know, what I know about, I know a hell of a lot about what I don't. I'm willing to fall in the back and learn as I go. And that's how you have to be in the spirits business. Because I didn't grow up in the spirits business. I just got involved with the last, you know, five, six years. And you try to try to learn as much about it as you possibly can because it's your money that's being involved with it. Ocho ZZ J HD1ZZ oh, I can't lie. Fellately wasn't big and sorry tonight and those Raven corners need fixing. They gave up big plays every single step. They did, they did. Like I said. Look, I, I thought he played bet well tonight also. You know, one play, they, they got Derrick Henry, but I thought he, he got his legs cut out from under him, which is a penalty because now offensive linemen were getting injured. Oho. When defensive players was going low, taking out, trying to take the legs out from under. That should have been a penalty. With that being said, I thought he played well tonight, but yeah, the Raven secondary, those corners need a lot to be desired. Ocho. They. They. Oh. Ooh.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Wiggins. Yeah, he had a, he had a bad night tonight. But obviously throughout the entirety of the season, as much as I've watched the Raven defensively, I mean, I kind of, I kind of like Nate. He went as high as he did for a reason and he makes some plays tonight. Tonight just wasn't his.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Night. Been a lot of those this Year, Ocho. J Dub, Akron is my birthday today, but I can't do ish. I gotta work tomorrow. The chat will have to turn up for me. My Steelers are grabbing that division title. J Dub, thank you for joining us. Happy birthday, bro. Yeah. Hey, look, it's tough when you want to celebrate, but you got a priorities. Priorities. You got to get that job, bro. You got to go make that bread. And I understand it. I remember when I was in, in school, Ocho, and everybody would be having that when I was special, when I was little elementary school and kids would have their birthday during the year and their parents would bring them.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Cupcakes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. And everything like.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

That.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. My ish way in June and I'm working in them hot ass.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Fields.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Damn. That's what I.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Said. But that ain't a bad thing, huh? Because think about it. Working in them fields. Major, the man you are.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Today. It absolutely did. It absolutely did. It was no celebration. What? No cake. They will make you a birthday cake. Nah, I was going to be in, I was going to be in Joe Tatum's field, Mr. Jones field at 7:00am yes, sir. And cropping tobacco. That's what I was gonna be doing on my birthday for the, for the better part. Or on somebody's cutting somebody's grass or landscaping up, you know, laying asphalt on somebody's damn hot ass roof. So I could, I can empathize with you, J Dub. But happy birthday, bro. Hopefully you had a great day before you had to go to work. And tomorrow on your day off though, hey, turn up real wolf hat facts. Ravens beat the cheese. Is it time to say my Ravens are better without Lamar? No, they're different without Lamar. You see, the, the thing is they don't run the ball. They don't give Derek Henry this many carries with Lamar. Cause you paying a guy 50 plus million dollars, you got. Hey, I'm gonna let him throw tonight. He had what, he threw like 20 passes, Ocho. Yeah, they ran the ball 50 times. What if they ran the ball 50 times with Lamar? Let's not get carried.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Away. Yeah, you take, you take, you take the ball out of, out of Tyler Huntley's hands too. On purpose? Yes, Off. The play calling changes because it's not Lamar. So what do you do now? You give it to goddamn Derrick Henry 20, 30 times a goddamn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Game. You know what the thing is that I think I love most about Tom Brady? Is that New England, even though they knew what he was, they won the game how they wanted. If we can run the ball with Winnebago, Legarit, Blunt. We're gonna run the ball. If we can run the ball with Corey Dillon, we're gonna run the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Ball. Oh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I'm not. I. I know Tom Brady can throw for 300 yards, but that's not how we're gonna win it. Sometimes I think coaches and coordinators get him like a man. We got. We got this guy back here. We played him. All this money. I don't care nothing about that. I'm trying to win this game. We'll save his ass for another.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Day. Hey. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sir. But today, let's run the.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Football. All it is. Having a feel for the game. What's working today. You know, sometimes what you. What you worked on during the week and the game plan you came with and you notice it's not working the first quarter, you make goddamn.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Adjustments.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yep. You make the adjustments, you go to something.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Else. Joel said g up. Can I get a happy birthday, Happy earth day, shout out. Appreciate all you do for us on this platform. Nightcap with Hashtag nightcap. Vegas on. Yes, Joel, Happy birthday. Hopefully you did something fun. Hopefully you were family, friends and loved ones and got an opportunity to really, really appreciate because there are a lot of people that got called home and they didn't get an opportunity to celebrate. Didn't make it this far into 2025. So you got to feel fortunate. And everybody that made it thus far still have use of your limbs. You had the blood running warm in your veins and you woke up this morning because there are some people that had an appointment they couldn't reschedule. Use one of the few that you say, you know what he said I touched you. So I'm allowed you to see another day. So be thankful. Happy birthday, Joel. Eagle Fan78 what's up, Uncle Nocho? Love y'. All. Ocho pay.

[Public Investing Announcer]

Yet?

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. Don't keep dodging. Just tell he ain't getting his money. I would never count on. Could never count on it. Sadly, I ain't counting on it. He already told me that once. As long as he owe me, I'll never be broke, but I feel broke.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Now. You good? You good. We good. We.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Good.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

One. One thing. One thing. God don't make no mistakes now you.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Know. Yeah, he made a mistake. What I bet you that was the mistake. I was foolish enough I fooled it up to bet you two girls cup Texans got gifted a win eagerly could contact my. You know what. Both receivers on the left side ran pig routes to draw a penalty. Yeah, it happens sometimes, bro. It happens. Sometimes Steel heads 477 tomorrow. Steelers beat the Browns in the hat and T shirt game tonight. Ravens win will be for not. Let's go Steelers. Look, there's no look. Look, it's a division game and anything can happen in the division game. We'll see how it plays out. Miles Garrett is going to really try to get that sack and Steelers don't. Steelers do not want to be a part of that record. Oh, don't want to be a part of that record. So they're going to have two guys on him. But I'm hopefully Miles Garrett can. Can get one. Hopefully get.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Two. He gonna. He gonna get it. He definitely get.

[Shannon Sharpe]

It. I'm hoping Jay Wilson. Okay. Don't you. I'm a truck driver and want to. And want a girl to love and appreciate for the entertainment you provide to us truck drivers. My question is, who would you want to play you in a movie about your.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Life? Oh, that. That's easy. Play me. If anybody was to do a docu series or a documentary about me, it got to be either Tyrese or asap. Asap.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Rocky. Yeah, I was gonna say asap. Rocky or Tyrese.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. I'm trying to say who could play. I guess that Ted Cruz gonna have to grow some hair. Oh.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Yeah. Hey, that'd be a good.

[Shannon Sharpe]

One. T. Cruise. That's the only one I can think about. That's the only one that. That off the top of my head, that. That really jumps to mind because he's athletic enough. He actually played football, so. Hey, large eater. I was just on a cruise carnival and a guy asked the bartender if they had laportier. Laportier would go crazy on cruise ships. Look into it also for the pod Olympics have a buffalo wing eating contest. Love you guys. I mean, Ocho nor I are big.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Eaters. Nah, we don't want to eat. Well, we want to do, man. We want to compete, man. We want to compete in. In. In activities where it takes. It takes this. The mind and skill competitive stuff, man. You don't want to be no.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Eating. Oh, yeah. We let. Jonathan Majors can play.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Miocho. Oh, that. That's another good one. Yeah, yeah. Jonathan Majors.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Thank you for that. We're gonna try to get laportier on the cruise ships. Chiquito Marino. Marino. What's up, Uncanocho? Love y'. All. I love the show. Can CJ Stroud prevent the Texas from going or deep playoff run? Not saying he's bad, but he's questionable at times. Yeah, and that, hey, you saw the two horrible turnovers that he had. Yes, that defense is. The defense is super bowl.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Caliber. Yeah.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Absolutely. It absolutely is. They're good. That defense is good enough. The question is if he runs up against somebody that has an offense that can get to. Let's just say. Oo they get out to the lead. Buffalo. Who else? Jacksonville. We'll be. We'll see how the Jags and them loot the Bronx. It's going to be very interesting because pressure. He hasn't been good with pressure, but we'll see. Chiquito. Maria. Maria. Maria says free.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Jetta. Hey, either free him or get him a quarterback. One or the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Other. Kylie. 1, 2, 3, 4. It's like when wins went down and Nick took over. We ended up going to the Super Bowl. So who got injured that's taken over? Somebody that you expect to get that. You guys gonna go to the Super.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Bowl? I don't. I don't think they do. They remember that team, the actual team they.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Had? Oh, yeah. They were.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Loaded. It was loaded on both sides of the.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Ball. Yep. Roy. Uncle. No Joe. Hope you had a good holiday with family and friends. Should the Giants draft it? Draft or build around Tyler Shook? It's going to be interesting to see what they're going to do. Have they seen enough? Have Kellen Moore seen enough? Does he believe that he has his quarterback that they can fill in other slots around and get this thing better? Maybe a corner. Maybe another wide receiver because you, you know, have some draft pick because you gave up Shaheed. So you got a draft pick there. So maybe an offensive lineman, a running back. Ocho. I don't think Camaro is back next year. Dom. Newt's 21:51. 27:51. Losing between the Raiders and Giant get the first pick. Yeah, that's probably why they took Max Travis told him to go home. You don't want to mess up their first pick. The Sean Underscore Show. What's up Uncle? No show. What's the best Super Bowl? What's the best team in the NFL? Not to this. Not to win the super bowl. Like the eagles with Vic McCoy, D Jack and Jeremy Macklin. They also have Vince Young on that team. What? The best team not win the super bowl is the Patriots in.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

2007. Ooh, that's that 17 and old.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Season. Yes. Yeah, it was 18 and.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

One. 18 and one? Yeah. That's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Crazy. And Cap a lot. I'm not saying they will, but if the Texans end up losing early, do y' all Think people will say Stroud the O line. D' Amico Ryan is the problem. D' Amico Ryan definitely is not the problem. I think he's done a great job of building this team and turning this team around. He's not afraid to make tough decisions. You remember last year, I think they moved on from the offensive coordinator after the great rookie year that C.J. stroud have. So Dimiko Ryan is not the problem. Old lines a little shaky, but CJ Stroud is going to have to do. He's going to have to perform better under duress. And that's where you make it, bro. You're not going to have no clean pocket the whole.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Game.

[Shannon Sharpe]

No. You're going to have to make tough throws with people in your face and hanging on your body. Ms. Patrice, Max Crosby trade talk sounds good for y', all, but I can bet you and promise he'll be not leave the Raiders. He bleeds silver and black and everybody hates it. Get over it.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Chat.

[Shannon Sharpe]

People. Let me ask you a.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Question. You.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Think. You think Tom Brady wanted to lead the Patriots? You think Peyton Manning wanted to lead the Colts? So you tell me, is Max Crosby bigger than either one of them? Emmy Smith left the Cowboys. Jerry Rice west left the 49ers. Bruce Smith left the Buffalo Bills. Now you tell me, of the players I named, which one is Max Crosby bigger than Randy Moss? Left Minnesota, left New England, left the Raiders. Which one of the players that I just named? Ocho, do you believe Max Crosby is bigger.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Than. I don't think. People. People can't. People can't get past being a fan of a player and a team. They can't get past that. They don't understand the business side of things. They just see great player. This is my team, okay? He's not going nowhere. That's not the way it.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Works. What about Joe Montana? Okay, but thanks, Ms. Patrice. Pat dubbed last year. You kept giving the Ravens coaching staff the solution to the problem. But King Henry in the eye. I hope tonight was a good reminder. Man, they'll listen. I don't know if they get well, they got to turn their phones off 90 minutes so they don't. They don't see. But you see. What was he doing?

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Ocho.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. It was no offset. They put record. They put a Rashad in motion. Yeah, they handed to him or they tossed it to him. One of the other let him come downhill. Real Chris Moore just watched Elway. Doc, why does John Elway get overlooked as a top quarterback ever? He's top five. What's your favorite John Elway story. Got something interesting for you. I just sat down with him, and we got that. That interview coming out next week. So he'll tell you some of the favorite.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Stories. Oh.

[Shannon Sharpe]

John. But y' all heard what he said. Who's the leader of the locker room? Y' all heard that, right? Did y' all hear that documentary? Yeah. So anything that I say can be.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Confirmed. Yes.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Sir. But anyway, Cammie Cam Crosby already said the only team he'd play for is the Lions. He respects Dan Campbell. Born here, played in Eastern Michigan. Come home, Max. I know what he said, but he don't hold his rights. The Raiders do. And they can trade it wherever they get the best deal. I know. Boy, can you imagine him and.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Hutch? Oh, yeah, that ain't.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Fair. But, Ultra, I don't know how you fit that under the cap. Because you got one guy making 50. You got the two wide receivers making big money. You got Pene making big money. You got Hutch making big money. They gave Joseph big money. They're gonna have to do something with Jack Campbell. Yeah. And then, Listen, you gave McNeil all this money. Although he hasn't played up to.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Expectations.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Coming off that injury, you got Muhammad. Are you gonna let Muhammad go? What. What is Muhammad.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

In. Hey, and you. You hear what. You hear what they say? Because the player says, I wouldn't want to play for anybody else. But that. I mean, you take that with a grain of salt. That's. That's just. That's.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Just.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

That's. That's talk. That's. That's talk. That's like when somebody say, well, anytime you in the city, just come on. Come on by my house, you know, just stop by. They don't really mean that.

[Public Investing Announcer]

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Down. Look, I remember that. That was a good play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Man. We called it. We had that play called Slice. And hey, Ocho, I think it is money because they tell us, man coverage. So guess what? I started in three heart. Hey. Push up three hard steps. Uncover. Called it three.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Times.

[Shannon Sharpe]

Yeah. Call it Wednesday, Thursday, practice. Running in the red zone. Oh, there's gonna be money. But John always asks Mike, okay, what if we don't get this coverage? Mike and Gary told John, we took this playoff 50 times. This formation. They played his coverage, okay? So John ask him, well, if they don't play this coverage, you're gonna have to make a play. But they're gonna play this coverage. Guess.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

What? They didn't play.

[Shannon Sharpe]

This. They didn't play that coverage. And John had to go make a play. Yeah, he knows he can't slide because they're gonna mark him where he starts to slide short. So everybody's thinking that. So he's like, hey, Leroy coming from one side, Prior coming from another side. And I think Eugene Robinson, the only thing only play he can make was go over the top. Yeah, he was a little woozy, and he was like. He looked at the sideline and everybody happy like, yeah, yeah, I did it. I said, yeah. We were about to tear y' all ass up. Nino Rogers, 89, in there, drunk, knocking over Ish. I ain't knock over nothing. Eagle fan, 78. When is another tour? When is New Merchant new tour? We're thinking about spring.

Taylor's an offensive guy, Flores a defensive guy. They don't have defensive players to implement the system that he want to.

[Keyshawn Johnson]

Run. No, I wouldn't. I said that earlier. Based on where he goes, as long as he has the players to be able to run that complex and aggressive system that he has, then.
